In 2013, a graduate student discovered a flaw in a spreadsheet, renewing the debate about austerity and debt. Emerging economies tanked, and Bitcoin boomed. In the U.S., unemployment fell and the Federal Reserve started to scale back its bond-buying program. Research focused on inequality and jobs gap between the highly skilled and everyone else. The Affordable Care Act began.
We asked scholars to identify the most important development or new research of the last year. This is what they came up with:
Janet Currie, professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University:
Infant mortality in the U.S. fell 12 percent from 2005 to 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This good news is startling given that inequality grew and unemployment skyrocketed over the same period. How did conditions improve for babies, when they were deteriorating for their parents?
One answer is the safety net. Medicaid pays for about 40 percent of births. Because almost all births are paid for by either public or private insurance, all infants have access to life-saving technologies.
A second strand of the safety net is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC. The initial rollout of the program reduced low birth weight and prematurity among children born to less educated women and in counties with high poverty levels. Many studies have shown continuing benefits.
A third strand involves home-visit programs by nurses. Nurses drop in on high-risk, pregnant women before birth and for up to two years afterward. While there is no national initiative, 20 states have created their own programs.
Other trends have also been moving in the right direction. Starting with the Clean Air Act of 1970, the U.S. has reduced hazardous pollution. Pollution levels fell in the recession. From 2005 to 2010, carbon monoxide fell to 1.6 parts per million from 2.3 parts per million, which led to substantial improvements in health at birth.
The takeaway message is that conditions for babies have improved despite the economic dislocation of the recession because government successfully shielded them from the fallout and worked to improve their environment.
Led by Bitcoin, virtual currency had a breakout year. As the basics became more widely known, investors flocked into Bitcoin in March, with the market capitalization growing from $370 million to $1 billion in a month. Exchanges such as Bitstamp and U.S. on-ramps such as Coinbase Inc. gained traction; others, plagued by regulatory challenges, stopped working with U.S. banks (Mt. Gox) or closed (Bitfloor), leaving users unable to retrieve their funds. The Bitcoin-based drug market Silk Road was going strong until it was busted by federal authorities. At year's end, U.S. retailer Overstock.com announced a plan to accept Bitcoins by next summer. New virtual currencies, including Ripple Labs Inc., appeared, and other virtual currencies, such as Litecoin, rode the wave of investor enthusiasm. Money from venture capitalists flowed into the virtual currency ecosystem.
In November, U.S. regulators held hearings, sending encouraging signals to virtual markets. At the same time, major Chinese companies began embracing Bitcoin, but the promise of that market was short-lived: The Chinese government backpedaled in December. Even though that move lead to a decline in Bitcoin values, the market cap ended the year in the $9 billion range.
To become more than a fad for technology enthusiasts, day traders and libertarians, virtual currency needs to find direct utility as a means of transaction. The fundamental technological innovation is the ability for two entities to transfer value securely, almost instantly, without a middleman, and with negligible fees. This opens up new possibilities, including cheaper international remittances of foreign-earned wages by workers from developing countries, micropayments for digital goods such as news and mobile apps, and the ability of the non-banked developing world to engage in global e-commerce for digital goods, virtual services or crafts.
Simon Johnson, professor of entrepreneurship at MIT's Sloan School of Management:
A recent paper in the American Economic Review by David Autor, David Dorn and Gordon Hanson looks at the effects of increasing Chinese manufacturing exports on the U.S. Next year, we should expect debate over whether to expand U.S. free trade agreements across the Pacific and with Europe.
We know trade creates gains for the U.S. in some aggregate sense -- for example, reducing trade barriers creates opportunities to export and makes imported consumer goods cheaper. It also accelerates some job losses, including in manufacturing. Who loses, by how much, relative to what otherwise would have happened?
Using local U.S. labor markets, Autor, Dorn and Hanson examine the effect of the surge in Chinese imports from 1990 to 2007. They estimate that about one-quarter of the decline in manufacturing jobs was due to rising imports.
We should put this data in context by comparing it with the job shifts due to technological change, which has raised the premium for the highly skilled while reducing good income-earning opportunities for the less skilled.
The findings of Autor, Dorn and Hanson don't signal the end of work for people with only a high school education but they indicate that recent increases in inequality are likely to continue. The long trend is this:
"Preparing a meal, driving a truck through city traffic or cleaning a hotel room present mind-bogglingly complex challenges for computers. But they are straightforward for humans, requiring primarily innate abilities like dexterity, sightedness and language recognition, as well as modest training. These workers can't be replaced by robots, but their skills are not scarce, so they usually make low wages."
At the same time, people in "professional, managerial, technical and creative occupations" have done well in part because computers make them more productive or allow them to reach larger audiences at low cost.
The bottom line is that polarization of the labor force over the past three decades is mostly due to technology. But increasing trade with low-income countries that export manufactured goods hasn't helped, and the rise of China is a certain contributor to increased inequality in the U.S.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum and former director of the Congressional Budget Office:
There are dozens of candidates for the top economic development of 2013 -- the Federal Reserve's "to taper or not to taper" drama; tax increases for the rich; Obamacare's policies, politics and meltdowns; the huge expansion of the regulatory state; the new opportunities presented by a buoyant energy sector, or federal fiscal follies. All roads, however, lead to an economic recovery that refuses to take flight.
The facts are easily summarized. Compared with the typical postwar recovery, gross domestic product has been slow to recover, which has resulted in limited job growth and dismal income growth.
Every other major issue arises as a cause of the slow recovery (regulations, fiscal fights, tax increases, Obamacare), or a silver lining in bad economic times (energy or the housing recovery), or responses to poor growth (Fed policy). As the economy gradually regains full employment, focus will naturally shift to other policy and economic issues. But in 2013, the biggest development was the stubbornly subpar recovery.
James K. Galbraith, professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin:
The most important economics story of 2013 began with Thomas Herndon's discovery of errors in a study by Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff claiming a debt-to-GDP threshold for stagnation. Herndon's work was only the beginning. As the year went on, all the main rationales for budget austerity, deficit hysteria and for cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid unraveled. As the year ends, the deficit hysterics are almost silent.
As always, circumstances played a role. Health-care costs are no longer exploding, a shift that defuses one of the big future-deficit scare stories. Long-term interest rates are up, but that is due to talk of tapering by the Fed and not to deficits or debt. Most important, by year-end, deficits were falling much more quickly than predicted. Today the big risk isn't inflation, high interest rates and a collapsing dollar. It's joblessness, despair and continued stagnation.
Suddenly economic inequality is on the agenda. The next big thing will be a higher minimum wage, with $12 an hour just over the horizon; California voters may get a chance to vote for that in November. Social Security has survived, intact, for another year. And as Michael Lind has written, it is even becoming possible (in some circles) to talk about expanding, instead of cutting, the coverage and benefits of that most-successful public program.
These glimmers of hope and common sense show that ideas can still be budged by events. In Europe, though, stubbornness prevails. A hardline coalition of the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party has taken office in Germany. Soon it will confront the rise of a democratic, pro-European resistance, beginning in Greece. I'll be watching that space for the next battle of the debt wars.
Dani Rodrik, professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey:
This was the year when the emerging-market hype finally came crashing down. Some of it had to do with slowing growth rates, but the central reason was the effect on currencies of the Fed's talk of tapering. As currencies from India to Brazil plummeted, the reality sank in that much of the recent growth these countries experienced was the product of favorable external developments, in particular, low interest rates in the U.S. and high commodity prices.
As for China, opinion is now split between those who thought its unsustainable investment rates could be reduced relatively painlessly and those who worried about a hard landing; neither side doubts China's growth rate is on its way down.
Developing countries have generally improved their governance and now have better macroeconomic policies, but like advanced economies they suffer from structural problems. Recent growth has only benefited a relatively small segment of the global population, and the traditional engines of growth -- industrialization and diversification -- are sputtering. Financial globalization has turned into a generator of instability rather than a source for funding domestic investment.
This was also the year of mass protests in the emerging world, and that is no coincidence. Disaffected urban youth and middle classes will continue to pose a serious challenge to governments that have raised expectations above what they can deliver.
June O'Neill, director of the Center for the Study of Business and Government at Baruch College, former director of the Congressional Budget Office:
Health-care expenditures in the U.S. are now close to 18 percent of GDP, even though spending on major government programs slowed over the past few years (as a result of the recession and its toll on state and other spending).
We can only speculate what effect Obamacare will have on the huge health-care sector. What seems likely is an increased burden on the federal government. The Medicaid expansion will be funded by the federal government for the next few years for those states that have signed up. We still don't know how many people will enroll for insurance in the exchanges. Nor do we know the incomes of those who will sign up and therefore the cost of the federal subsidies.
What's even more uncertain is the extent to which those who sign up for insurance will pay the premiums they owe. We don't have any good way of chasing down deadbeats.
The administration keeps sweetening the health-care law, adding provisions such as the "hardship exemption" that exempts people who lose their insurance as a result of the individual mandate. The economic effects of all this will come, in part, from fiscal pressure applied by widening deficits. Labor market effects are difficult to forecast. With cuts in salaries for doctors, the supply of the profession's most skilled will likely decline while demand for them rises. When markets are suppressed, shortages are resolved with lines and crowding. Health care is no exception.
Laura Tyson, professor at Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and former chairman of the National Economic Council:
This was the year that President Barack Obama chose Janet Yellen to be the next Fed chairman. As vice-chairman, she was an architect of the central bank's unconventional policies during the last three years -- including its quantitative easing program and subsequent tapering -- and her selection indicates policy continuity. Yellen is a brilliant economist as well as an experienced central banker and policy maker who commands respect among central bankers. She will be able to build consensus among Federal Open Market Committee board members and is a terrific communicator as evidenced by her thoughtful and detailed speeches over the last several years.
There is no basis for the concern that Yellen will be too "dovish." Like Ben Bernanke, she believes in the Fed's dual mandate of full employment and inflation control. She is tough-minded, and her decisions will be driven by evidence not by ideology.
Yellen is unconventional in one important respect. She will be the first woman to assume the post of Fed chairman and the highest-ranking woman in an economic-policy making position in the U.S. Her appointment shatters another glass ceiling on the path to greater gender parity.
Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia University Graduate School of Business and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers:
As 2014 begins, we should avoid both a hangover from a party of financial regulation and harsh cures.
Complacency about aggregate risk, excessive and opaque leverage, fragile funding structures and too-big-to-fail financial institutions left us poorly prepared for the financial crisis. And, our regulatory focus on the health of individual institutions left us vulnerable to contagion across the financial system.
We learned that, in cleaning up the crisis, both monetary policy (lender of last resort) and fiscal policy (bank recapitalization) are important. But regulatory reform has been much less encouraging -- focusing on dogs that didn't bark (the ban on proprietary trading by large banks), virtually ignoring dogs that did bark (the government-sponsored enterprises), and putting forward rules with potentially adverse consequences (the designation of Systemically Important Financial Institutions and substantially higher capital requirements for banks).
Two big questions arise for 2014: What should we do about "big banks"? And by how much should we increase bank capital requirements as a vaccine against the next crisis?
On the first, the treatment may be worse than the supposed disease. While I am sympathetic to proposals that eliminate too-big-to-fail, any alternative is less desirable; just "breaking up" big banks doesn't eliminate problems of correlation in risks in the financial system. And "utility regulation" of big banks runs the risk of dulling financial innovation.
On the second, greatly higher capital requirements can have unpleasant side effects. Much higher levels of capital reduce lending to borrowers with few non-bank alternatives. And high bank capital requirements shifts activity to shadow banking, with its attendant risks.
Finally, a memo to the White House and Congress: Rather than join the tough gym of harsher regulation in 2014, let's try good regulatory habits next year.

Filmax has unveiled an international trailer for "[REC] 4: Apocalypse," the final film in the horror franchise. It's directed by series co-creator Jaume Balaguero. Check it out below.
Angela Vidal, the young television reporter who entered the building with the fireman, manages to make it out alive. But what the soldiers don't know is that she carries the seed of the strange infection.
She is to be taken to a high-security quarantine facility where she will have to stay in isolation for several days. An old oil tanker, miles off shore and surrounded by water on all sides, has been especially equipped for the quarantine.

@Blackdynamite - They had to remake it for the americans to understand it.

REC has really done well in Latin America and in some European countries. I personally think is better than Paranormal Activity considering that they had less budget. REC is a fine gore fest.

The American version was called "Quarantine" aside from the original, the sequel didn't follow the story line after that.

The first REC was actually pretty good, the 2nd one was ok, but the sh*tfest that came out earlier this year, Genesis, was a disaster. Not really waiting for this to happen either..

btw I just watched the "trailer" and it's all just footage from REC 1&2..

Just as the third quarter of 2012 brought three exciting works from JEFF LYNNE–his second solo album Long Wave, the freshly recorded Mr. Blue Sky–The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra and the illuminating documentary "Mr. Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO"–2013 will be marked by more treats from the creative force of ELO and one of rock's most iconic figures.
On April 23 in the U.S. (and April 19 in Europe), Frontiers Records will release three albums: ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA LIVE and two reissues, ELO's ZOOM (remastered and including a brand new track) and his debut solo album ARMCHAIR THEATRE (also remastered, with two new brand new tracks). It's all part of the 40th anniversary of ELO, who've sold 50 million-plus records worldwide. These releases will all feature new packaging and the LIVE CD will come in a special ecobook edition.
● ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA LIVE hasn't been issued as an album until now. Taken from a 2001 performance for a PBS television special in Los Angeles at CBS Television City, the music was released as a DVD that year. The new hits-packed CD offers fans six tracks that weren't on the DVD ("Stranger on a Quiet Street," "In My Own Time," "Really Doesn't Matter," "A Long Time Gone," "Melting in the Sun," and "All She Wanted") as well as two new, unreleased studio tracks, "Out of Luck" (recorded in 2010) and "Cold Feet" (recorded in 1992). Although the singularly accomplished British singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer has always preferred the creative experience of the recording studio, he is a compelling performer who's always figured out ways to bring his distinctive widescreen musical universe to life onstage when he needed to.
● ELO's ZOOM–unavailable for over 10 years–has been remastered and features a brand new track, "One Day" (recorded in 2004) as an added bonus, along with live versions of "Do Ya" and "Turn To Stone" from the ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA LIVE show. At the time of its original release in 2001, LYNNE hadn't issued an ELO album since 1986's Balance of Power. He called upon notable friends for a little help, enlisting contributions from longtime ELO member Richard Tandy as well as good friends George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The result is an album rich in that distinct ELO sound–classic LYNNE melodies and songwriting, foot-stomping rock anthems and sweet, sexy strings.
● LYNNE's first solo album, 1990's ARMCHAIR THEATRE, is a melting pot of different styles and influences featuring unexpected collaborations with LYNNE's heroes and close friends, including Tom Petty, Richard Tandy and George Harrison. This reissue, unavailable for the last decade, includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Borderline" and "Forecast" (both recorded in 1989). Interestingly, the album also features a few notable covers–"Don't Let Go," "Stormy Weather" and "September Song"–that demonstrated LYNNE's flair for covers two decades before the release of 2012's acclaimed Long Wave. Suitably, the core of the album is LYNNE himself, though he also left room for the contributions of a few friends and fellow travelers. Harrison contributed guitars and vocals on a number of tracks. Petty co-wrote "Blown Away," a gorgeously romantic ballad. Longtime ELO band member Richard Tandy also contributed on keyboards and other instruments. ARMCHAIR THEATRE captures the musical genius of JEFF LYNNE when–perhaps more than ever before–the world was his stage.
Outside of the success of ELO, LYNNE has led a remarkable career producing and collaborating with many of the greatest musical artists of all time. They include a number of LYNNE's all-time heroes like Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and remarkably, even the Beatles themselves, as well as contemporaries like Tom Petty and Joe Walsh, whose new album Analog Man LYNNE recently produced some tracks for. Together with Harrison, Orbison, Petty and Bob Dylan, LYNNE was, of course, a member of the Grammy award-winning Traveling Wilburys–a super group like no other. "I've been in love with music since I was probably just five years old," says LYNNE. I was mad for music then–and I still am today."

BeehiveCity have run a news item over the weekend speculating on a strained relationship between Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat and BBC News Online.
This is all of course related to the recent confusion over the scheduling of Doctor Who Series 7. Let's not forget that this is a potentially difficult situation, one that would certainly benefit from being played out in private rather than in public, so we'll leave any judgements to one side for now.
Following the initial reports from the Church and Media conference at which BBC One Controller Danny Cohen suggested that Steven Moffat needed time to run both Sherlock and Doctor Who, the BBC News Online article which appeared two days later bore the headline "Sherlock's success means less Doctor Who in 2012" (later changed to "Sherlock success will hit Doctor Who, says BBC One boss") focussed on Cohen's comments concerning Moffat's workload.
Beehive City have spotted that Neil Gaiman then asked Moffat on Twitter:
"Er… is it my imagination or are you being shafted by BBC online news?"
Which prompted the response:
"It's not your imagination. Unbelievable, unacceptable."
As followers of this saga will know, Moffat later clarified that:
"The scheduling of Dr Who has got NOTHING to with Sherlock."
In an organization the size of the BBC there is every chance that multiple agendas are being played out. We need to recognize this. However, wouldn't it just be nice to put this to bed with a definitive statement – released the usual way and not via Twitter – so that we can all move on potentially damaging comments from all parties?
We'll be discussing this in more detail in this week's podKast, available later today.

- Keepers: These are cards that can be placed in front of you, which usually represent some inanimate object. Their purpose in the game is to show that you have possession of that object by playing it in front of you on the table.
- Goals: These cards dictate what it takes to win the game. A goal card will name a few specific Keeper cards, and state that whoever has them on the table is the victor. There can only be one goal, and if a new goal is played, the previous one is discarded.
- Actions: These cards are one-time-use, and allow you to do special things such as root through the discard pile to take a card back or steal another player's keeper.
- Creepers: These stay on the table in front of you just like Keepers, but are playing immediately upon drawing and (usually) prevent you from winning.
- New Rules: This is where the game gets hectic. As part of the "play card" phase of their turn, a player can use New Rule cards that drastically alter how the game works. For example, players can change how many cards are drawn or played in a turn, or a hand size limits can be instituted, forcing players to discard at the end of their turn.
- High amount of replay value due to short play time and varying game experience
- Enough humor to make you laugh at least a few times each game
- Well-made cards with quality artwork
- Games can occasionally become dependent on luck rather than strategy

You play as Xain, the Soldier of Light, who must visit a number of invaded planets and wipe out the evil hordes that have attacked the human populations. The main bulk of the gameplay is a horizontally scrolling run and gun game, while some stages put you in an horizontal shoot 'em up scenario. You take control of Xain, who can jump or duck to avoid enemies and jump up to higher ledges. Lots of extra weaponry can be collected along the way, although this is lost when one of your five lives is lost. Each time you defeat a planet's boss, you control Xain's spaceship and have to go through a short horizontal shmup level, before selecting your next target planet.The planets Cleemalt Soa, Lagto Soa, Cleedos Soa, Kworal Soa and Guwld Soa are all available for selection immediately. These each have their own settings – Cleedos Soa is desert, Cleemalt Soa is moon-like, Lagto Soa is lush and verdant, Kworal Soa is cold and underwater-like and Guwld Soa is a red-hot-steaming Mars type of place. When you clear all planets (plus their respective shmup sections) you gain access to a final planet which resembles the death star from Star Wars. After that,the game is over and you save the planets from the empire invasion.

Country newcomer Allison Veltz sees the silver lining through a different perspective in the lyric video for her debut single, "Bright Side."
The video stars Penny, the now happy-go-lucky dog that was adopted from the Nashville Humane Society after she was found homeless on the streets of Nashville. In honor of Penny's time and work commitment to the video, Veltz and label Blaster Records announced the "Pennies for Penny" campaign, in which one penny will be donated to the Nashville Humane Association for every view of the "Bright Side" lyric video.
"Bright Side" is available now on iTunes and the lyric video can be found on Veltz's YouTube Channel. For more information on the Nashville Humane Association, visit http://www.nashvillehumane.org.

Lemon Curd
Lots of lovely recipes call for lemon curd and, once again, it's something that is never the same when shop-bought.
This recipe is from Delia's Complete How to Cook. Makes three 1 lb (350 ml capacity) jars
- method
- Ingredients
Begin by lightly whisking the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients and place the saucepan over a medium heat.
Now whisk continuously using a balloon whisk until the mixture thickens – about 7-8 minutes. Next, lower the heat to its minimum setting and let the curd gently simmer for a further minute, continuing to whisk.
After that, remove it from the heat. Now pour the lemon curd into the hot, sterilised jars, filling them as full as possible, cover straightaway with waxed discs, seal while it is still hot and label when it is cold. It will keep for several weeks, but it must be stored in a cool place.

The worlds heaviest aircraft is without a doubt the Antonov An-225 Mriya. The new An 225 designed by the Antonov design bureau back in the 80s to transport the Russian Buran orbiter born out of the very successful An-124 Ruslan. The name given to the An-225 Mriya meant (Dream) or in Ukrainian (Inspiration).
There is only one operational An-225 that is used to this day in commercial endeavors with Antonov Airlines. The huge aircraft carries many different kinds of oversized cargo.
There is a second An-225 that has been partially completed to date. It seems like a huge success such as this they would build more. In size the behemoth cargo plane was almost as big as HK-1 Spruce Goose the largest airplane ever built.
When to monster aircraft was in the design stages there was a primary reason for its construction. A monster cargo plane was needed to carry the Energia rocket boosters and the Soviet Space Shuttle The Buran. The Soviet Space Shuttle program was almost the same as the U.S. program. But due to costs their Shuttle program never got any farther than the early design stages.
The An-225 made its first public appearance at the Paris Air Show of 1989. The public got to see it fly at the Farnborough air show in 1990. The huge cargo plane can carry 550,000 lbs in the cargo area inside its huge body. It can also carry 440,000 lbs attached to its upper fuselage. And there is enough space on the upper fuselage for something 230 ft long.
Back when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 the shuttle space program was canceled. The second An-225 only partially built at the time. The design plan for the second An-225 was to include a rear cargo door and the tail design was to be a single vertical stabilizer. After the program was canceled the second An-225 was put into storage and the 6 Ivchenko Progress engines were scavenged and used on the older An-124s. But the first An-225 was put into service after having new engines installed.
With much needed large aircraft with the capacity of the An-225 you would think investors would jump on the bandwagon. But it may just not ever happen. In 2006 a decision to complete the second aircraft and be completed by 2008, but the program was delayed again. By 2009 the Antonov An-225 was abandon once again. With the way Governments throw money away the 300 million needed to complete the second Mriya transport aircraft that can carry 250 tons would be done. If the money ever comes it will still take three years to complete the aircraft.
How the design came about as an offshoot of the An-124 the An-225 is the result of fuselage extensions both in the front and rear of the wings. Wings were extended at the root to increase the span. Then two more engines were added bringing the total engines to six. The engines are Ivchenko Progress D-18T turbofans adding all the extra power to carry the huge loads. With the huge increase in capacities the need for a more robust landing gear. The new design landing gear included 32 wheels.
The original design on the An-124 had a rear cargo door and ramp this was removed on the An-225 design. The single vertical stabilizer was redesigned so heavy external loads could be carried to a twin tail. The twin tail improved the aerodynamics when large external loads were carried.
The Antonov An-225 rolled out at 1,320,000 lbs but after it modifications over the 2000 to 2001 time frame. At a cost of $20 million 40 tons were added with a reinforced floor bringing its total weight to 640 tons.
Weights like this even at its original 600 ton weight still makes the Antonov 225 the heaviest aircraft in the world today. It even weighs more than the Airbus A380 with its double deck. The Hughes Hercules HK-1 Spruce Goose had a longer wingspan and stood higher but was about 20% shorter in length. The Hercules building materials were much lighter. The HK-1 flew only once making the AN-225 the largest and heaviest aircraft to fly multiple flights.
The Antovov An-225 was placed in the Guinness Book of Records in 2004. The aircraft holds 240 individual records the no other aircraft come close to. The Antonov An-225 Mriya is truly an operational one of a kind aircraft to this very day.

Catalogue entry
[from] Nos. 487–500: Sketches of Coast and other Scenes, c. 1840–5?
THESE fourteen sketches on millboard were discovered in the early 1960s in a parcel among the works from the Turner Bequest transferred from the Tate Gallery to the British Museum in 1931; they had not been numbered or included in Finberg's 1909 Inventory. They fall into three groups according to size, approx. 10 1/2 × 12 in., 9 3/4 × 13 1/2 in. and 12 × 19 in., but form a homogeneous group technically and stylistically. Two further sketches from the same parcel are distinct in style, technique and the type of millboard used (see Nos. 485 [D36676] and 486 [D36680]). Ship in a Storm (No. 489 [D36682]) is close in composition to Snow Storm—Steam-Boat off a Harbour Mouth, exhibited in 1842 (see No. 398 [N00530]), while others from the group such as Sunset seen from a Beach with Breakwater (No. 497 [D36679]) are the equivalent in oils of very late watercolours such as those in the 'Ambleteuse and Wimereux' sketchbook of 1845 (CCCLVII). However, compositional resemblances help very little in dating Turner's late works and comparison between works in different media is equally fruitless.
Thirteen unspecified sketches from Nos 485–500 were first exhibited at the British Museum in 1962 (see under 'Lit.' below).

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's ruling Democratic Party will promise to do its utmost in protecting Japanese territory and putting an end to nuclear power generation by the 2030s, according to draft campaign pledges issued on Tuesday ahead of next month's election.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) is running far behind the biggest opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in opinion polls taken ahead of the Dec 16 parliamentary election.
"We will expand and fortify guard and vigilance carried out mainly by the coast guard, and take all possible measures to protect our land and waters, including the Senkaku islands," the draft statement, obtained by Reuters, said.
Sino-Japanese ties took a tumble after the Japanese government in September bought disputed East China Sea islets, giving a fresh headache to Noda, already tasked with leading Japan's recovery from last year's massive earthquake and tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The rocky, uninhabited islets, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, are located near rich fishing grounds and potentially huge oil and gas reserves.
On the DPJ's energy policy, the draft said: "We will employ all policy resources available so that it will become possible to bring the number of operating nuclear reactors to zero by sometime in the 2030s."
In contrast, the LDP advocates further debate before setting a new nuclear energy policy for Japan, which depends heavily on imports for its energy needs.
The DPJ's election pledge draft also repeated existing goals in endeavoring to end deflation by the fiscal year starting April 2014 and achieving nominal economic growth of 3 percent a year on average in the years to 2020.
It also reiterated that a DPJ government will take decisive steps against excessive appreciation of the yen to prevent it from hurting Japan's export-reliant economy.
On its trade policy, the DPJ's draft said it will pursue free trade pacts such as the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a controversial issue even among DPJ lawmakers.
Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama will not run in the December election because he will not sign a document pledging to back party policies, including support for Japan's participation in the TPP and a sales tax increase to reduce huge public debt, public broadcaster NHK reported.
Noda is insisting on candidates signing the document to try to avoid the feuds over policy that split the party in the past and led to dozens of defections in recent months.
Hatoyama, scion of a wealthy political family and a co-founder of the DPJ, quit as prime minister after less than a year in office. His support had plummeted after he first raised, then dashed, local hopes of relocating a controversial U.S. Marine airbase in Japan's southern island of Okinawa.

Analysis of hospital data highlights potential benefits of antiviral treatment in a hospital setting
BOSTON, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Children hospitalized for the flu are much less likely to require breathing support from a mechanical ventilator if they receive antiviral drugs like oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) as soon as possible after admission, according to researchers at Boston Children's Hospital.
The findings, based on an analysis of pediatric hospital data nationwide, suggest that early use of such drugs may help prevent lung failure in children with severe flu infections, and argue for their early use in a pediatric hospital setting during flu season.
A team of investigators led by Boston Children's Carl Eriksson, MD, MPH (now at Oregon Health and Science University), Adrienne Randolph, MD, MSc, and Timothy Uyeki, MD, MPH, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported these results November 5 in the journal Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
The 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic led to a significant increase in the numbers of children hospitalized for the flu or flu-related complications.
"Early in the 2009 pandemic, reports from Mexico of lung failure and death due to H1N1 influenza raised concerns that this strain of the virus would be more likely to cause life-threatening pulmonary complications," according to Randolph, an intensivist in Boston Children's Division of Critical Care Medicine. "Since it appeared to be so bad, we decided to measure whether children hospitalized for influenza during the pandemic were more likely to require mechanical ventilation than children hospitalized for seasonal flu."
Using data from the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) an administrative database of inpatient admissions from 43 not-for-profit, tertiary care pediatric hospitals in the United States Randolph, Eriksson, Uyeki and their team compared diagnosis, treatment and discharge data on more than 9,800 children hospitalized with a diagnosis of influenza during the 2009 pandemic against those of nearly 10,200 children hospitalized in total over the three previous flu seasons.
They found that while nearly three times as many children were indeed hospitalized during the pandemic season than would have been expected based on the previous three seasons, the percent of children put on mechanical ventilation during the pandemic was much lower than would have been expected.
Delving deeper, the team also noted that Tamiflu was prescribed much more frequently during the pandemic than other years.
"About 70 percent of children hospitalized for the flu during the 2009 pandemic were prescribed antiviral medication, mostly Tamiflu," Randolph explained, "whereas only 19 percent of such children received antiviral treatment during the three previous flu seasons."
When the researchers looked at the risk factors for mechanical ventilation for both seasonal and pandemic flu, one thing stood out: children prescribed Tamiflu shortly after admission for the flu were much less likely than children who did not receive the antiviral to require a ventilator at day 3 or later of their hospital stay. The association held for children hospitalized for seasonal influenza and for those admitted during the 2009 pandemic.
The results suggest that because these children received early antiviral treatment in the hospital, their flu infection was less likely to worsen to the point that their lungs started to fail.
"The use of Tamiflu in a hospital setting has been on the rise, and some have questioned whether it is effective," said Randolph. "These data suggest that early use of influenza antivirals among children hospitalized for the flu might decrease the frequency of respiratory failure occurring after hospitalization. This is important because respiratory failure is a strong risk factor for flu-related death and is associated with the significant costs and morbidity related to mechanical ventilation and intensive care."
Boston Children's Hospital is home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries have benefited both children and adults since 1869. More than 1,100 scientists, including nine members of the National Academy of Sciences, 11 members of the Institute of Medicine and nine members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute comprise Boston Children's research community. Founded as a 20-bed hospital for children, Boston Children's today is a 395-bed comprehensive center for pediatric and adolescent health care grounded in the values of excellence in patient care and sensitivity to the complex needs and diversity of children and families. Boston Children's also is a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. For more information about research and clinical innovation at Boston Children's, visit: http://vectorblog.org/.

Pros: Works for video
Aluminum shielding
Cons: No HDMI audio
Poor sheet metal connector construction (inserting the HDMI cable is difficult, and inserting the adapter into a MacBook is also difficult, the sheet metal is poorly formed)
Other Thoughts: Made the mistake of buying this thinking it had audio like the others. Of course it is my fault... it doesn't say that it supports it.

I noticed i could add anything to my password(when using the webadmin), which is d2ac5wrk (dunno if that does anyhting for you), and it would allow me to enter. an example would be "d2ac5wrkofiabnsdoigbaosies" would let me enter where as "d2ac5wr" would not. Ever heard of this? --using litespeed 2 standard (latest release)
That's the limit of the DES algorithm used in crypt() function, only the first 8 characters of the password are used to generate the encrypted password, the rest are ignored. I think Apache is the same, isn't it? :roll: Thanks, George Wang

Casual Real Weddings
Outdoor Park
Blue Green Yellow
This wedding had me at "food truck." Well, that, and the list of gorgeous DIY details, the crafty + talented friends and family and the perfect planning skills of Kindred Event Studio. Because if anything screams "awesome wedding," it's an evening of laid-back elegance under a string of lights with yummy burger in hand. See it all captured by Kathryn Krueger right here.
And a sweet film from Ellen Oliver? Yes, please.
From Kindred Event Studio… Jenny Dougherty and Ryan Jamison were married on a bright spring day this past April. Ryan is an attorney and Jenny is a art teacher and a part-time wedding photographer. Having shot many weddings she knew just what she wanted, and didn't want for her wedding day. Both Jenny and Ryan wanted their day to be simple and stress-free. They weren't the least bit concerned with the day being perfect. They wanted this day to be authentic, meaningful and fun. They achieved those things in spades.
Jenny and Ryan are beloved. Just look at the size of their wedding party! They are rich in friendship. Jenny gave her bridesmaids free reign in choosing their wedding day attire. With a basic palette of greens and blues and yellows – the ladies had plenty of latitude. The men looked dapper in mostly matching suits with pocket squares that Jenny sewed from Calico squares. The ladies carried simple sunflower bouquets that they all hand-tied themselves.
Jenny and Ryan both wore boots, Jenny's were blue suede ankle booties. Jenny had a friend do her hair and she did her own make-up. The girls all went for a run together the morning of the wedding. They ran on trails in Cameron Park, just across the river from where the wedding would be later that day.
Ryan and the boys spend some time at the park the day before stringing the lights up themselves. This was undoubtedly a community event. A friend was the videographer. Groomsmen were the musicians. Another friend brought his home brew on tap. It was a pot-luck of a wedding, everything that Jenny and Ryan had hoped it would be.
The ceremony was at sunset and as the couple said their vows, flocks of white birds swooped down over the river before them. The couples trusty pups were on hand throughout the day, never missing a moment of the action.
The bride kept those who could not be with them on this day close at hand by weaving lockets throughout her bouquet. They said there vows as the sun sank down and just like that they were man and wife. The Jamisons. At long last.
And then it was time to party. The decor was simple. Long tables with bottles (some muddied in all assorted colors of paint, borrowed from her art classroom), candles and flowers. Simple, humble even. The bride wood burnt the signage herself. Quotes about parties, and friendship and love. Instructions on drinks and labeling your glass. Beautiful and practical – much like the couple themselves. Every detail, though few, spoke of their values, their passions.
They chose wine from a local vineyard. They used glass whenever possible so there would be minimal trash. Rather than a fancy banquet, they brought in their favorite food truck. Eight dollars a plate, can't beat that. And those burgers were good. Really good. Frank's Hot Sauce for the fries, Topo Chico bottles for miles, a canoe full of brews and two different kinds of chocolate pies. Pie and more pie. Only to be matched by the dancing and more dancing. Full bellies, warm hearts. Friendship and family. Many said it was the best wedding they had every attended.
Simple. Authentic. Beautiful. Spiritual. Really, really fun. Well played, Jamisons. Well played.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Do you find you have difficulty managing outbursts of anger? Or are you more prone to bottling your anger and sitting on it for hours or weeks on end allowing it to fester? Both of these are common responses to anger, and neither are beneficial. Anger management therapy can benefit you by helping you to learn that you can control the way in which you respond to your anger. Through exploring the underlying reasons for your anger you will gain useful knowledge to help you recognize your triggers. Furthermore, through mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches you will learn to channel your anger in a more productive way.

Not being able to control how you act or speak out of anger can be very damaging in some or all of your relationships (parent-child, with a significant other, among friends, even at work). Having uncontrollable anger and feeling angry all the time also does not feel good for the person with those feelings and it's possible to feel regret afterwards for what you have said or done. There is hope, however. Through exploring the anger and practicing techniques that you will learn, you can get to the stage where you can manage your anger (e.g. get angry about the right things and express it appropriately), leading back to a sense of wholeness and peace. Christopher and you can journey there.

Anger can become part of your everyday life due to past history, family conflict, work issues, substance use, etc and anger can also affect all of these spheres of your life. With the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, play therapy (for children) and solution-focused techniques we will work together to reduce and resolve the reasons for your anger along with learning coping skills for future anger as this is a nature feeling that all humans experience so that you can move forward in life on a more positive path.

The definition of anger is "a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility". This feeling can cause us to experience problems at work, personal relationships and the quality of your life. It can lead to uncontrollable rage which can lead to unintended consequences. Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the unpredictable actions of others. You can't change that; but you can change the way you let such events affect you. Let your therapist at Starfish help you to navigate your journey.

Anger management refers to the process by which a person learns how to identify stressors, take necessary steps to remain calm, and handle tense situations in a constructive positive manner. The purpose of anger management is to help a person decrease the heightened emotional and physiological arousal often associated with anger. Through anger management therapy we will help provide a clear and distinct set of guidelines to help achieve positive and constructive responses rather than negative and destructive ones. We will help identify what triggers their anger and become aware of their emotional state prior to, while and after they are angry.
725 River Road Suite 102A, Edgewater, New Jersey 07020
Sometimes we forget that anger is one of many emotions. Emotions are neither good nor bad. It's normal to feel anger when you've been mistreated. We feel anger when we feel insecure , vulnerable and other different feelings that trigger our anger. We feel anger when we aren't in control. The problem is not the emotion, but the expression. Most of us don't like how anger make us feel. It usually makes us feel out of control and can make us do things we might tend to regret. Together we can explore where your anger stems from, learn different strategies to express it in a way that will benefit you in your relationships and achieve your goals to lead a healthier and happier life.

text: The Forest Speyer wiki last edited by Yummylee on 08/01/15 06:23PM View full history OverviewMarksman for S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, Forest Speyer is also in charge of the S.T.A.R.S. team's vehicle and weapon maintenance. Forest is described as being a perfectionist, and is well-regarded by his team mates due to his professionalism. He is also considered one of Chris Redfield's closest friends among the S.T.A.R.S. unit.Resident EvilForest Speyer's corpseAlong with the rest of his team, he is sent in to Raccoon Forest to investigate strange murders happening within the Arklay mountains area. He is eventually forced into the abandoned Spencer Mansion and is found pecked to death by T-virus infected crows on the outside balcony by Jill/Chris. He has a grenade launcher on him during Jill's story that Jill can either find herself, or be handed to by Barry. In Chris' story he only has a 9mm magazine clip to be collected.In the original Resident Evil, a murder of crows will begin to descend towards the player after investigating his corpse. However in the Director's Cut and Deadly Silence versions, Forest will reanimate as a zombie.RemakeForest Speyer's role in the remake is exactly the same as it was in the Director's Cut version of the original Resident Evil.Forest's corpse as depicted in the remakeHowever in addition to appearing dead on the balcony (and once again eventually reanimating), Forest Speyer also appears in the passive game mode called "One Dangerous Zombie". This mode is unlocked after beating the game once as either Chris or Jill and will persist for as long as the player continues to use the same save file. The mode basically entails getting chased throughout the mansion by a zombified Forest, who happens to be covered in high-powered explosives - while he will only attempt to bite the player, he runs at the same speed as a Crimson Head. This then forces players to run away from him, as any attempts at self-defense will make Forest explode, killing the player. Though he will only stalk the player within the Mansion, and once it is eventually patrolled by Hunters, Forest will disappear from the playthrough completely.Because Forest is already on the move throughout the mansion, his corpse will no longer reside on the balcony; his grenade launcher can still be procured by Jill, however. TriviaAlong with the rest of Bravo squad, Forest makes a cameo appearance during the opening cinematic, though has no dialogue.

This meeting of the Environmental Advisory Board did not contain a quorum, and so no official decisions were made.
Discussion Items:
Environmental Stewardship Awards. The Awards Committee of the EAB met on two occasions since the September meeting to consider their recommendations to the full advisory board regarding recommendations to the County Commissioners for stewardship awards. The awards committee includes Melissa Chalona, Dale Lockwood, Tom Sneider, and Todd McCowin. This year 25 nominations were received. The committee explained that they reviewed the nominations in detail, and recommended five to the EAB. A discussion was held concerning the merits of all of the nominations. Members not on the committee had questions about several of the nominations and the thoughts of the committee. At the end of the discussion it was decided by consensus to have an email vote among the members of the five nominations recommended by the awards committee. Doug Ryan will send an email to all the members and ask for a one-week reply. If the replies indicated a decision of a quorum, Mr. Ryan will schedule a meeting with the County Commissioners to review all the nominations and the EAB recommendations.
Chairs Comments:
Dale Lockwood noted that one of the Governors Call to Action meetings, conducted by the Blue Ribbon Committee on Transportation Issues, is scheduled to be held in the Fort Collins City Council chambers on Friday October 17 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM. Mr. Lockwood will attend and report back to the EAB.
Mr. Lockwood noted that the Colorado Division of Wildlife has announced that larval forms of zebra mussels and quagga mussels, two invasive species of mussels, have been discovered in Grand Lake on the west slope.
Doug Ryan announced that a decision has been made to ask the EAB, along with the Agricultural Advisory Board and the Open Lands Advisory Board, to review and comment on the proposed Maxwell Ranch wind farm. It is anticipated that a formal application will be received before the end of 2008. While these advisory boards are not usually asked to review development applications, the decision in this case was based on the desire to obtain input on how the proposal might impact the adjacent County-owned Red Mountain Open Space. Mr. Ryan noted that the Planning Department is working on organizing a possible field visit by staff and the Planning Commission to some existing wind farm operations. The members noted that it would be very helpful if the EAB could be invited, and asked Mr. Ryan to pass that request along.
EAB Issue Index:
Doug Ryan will update the Issue Index related to the topics discussed at the meeting.
Next Meeting Agenda:
Update on 1041 Regulations, North I-25 EIS, update on the Blue Ribbon Transportation meeting.
The meeting ended at 8:00 PM

Jurnee Smollett-Bell Calls Colorism 'Disgusting' In 'Ebony' Cover Story
Jurnee Smollett-Bell never disappoints, whether we're talking about her beauty in an editorial fashion spread or her intellect in a magazine interview.
It's no wonder she was chose to grace the cover of Ebony magazine's March issue. Inside the issue the 30-year-old actress is outspoken as she addresses a variety of topics, including the reality of bias toward lighter skinned women in Hollywood (and the world at large).
"There are obstacles and challenges that my dark-skinned sisters face that I will never know," Smollett-Bell tells EBONY. "How they are perceived when they walk in a room of strangers is something I will never truly know. I would be ignorant to say colorism doesn't exist, it's gross and disgusting."
Amen to that Sis! Good to see she is not one of those who would bypass an issue because it hasn't negatively impacted them.
