Doctor Who returns at 7pm on Saturday 31 May with Silence in the Library, the first of a Steven Moffat (who he?) penned two-parter in season 30 of Doctor Who
Alex Kingston, Colin Salmon and Steve Pemberton join David Tennant and Catherine Tate as the TARDIS team lands in an abandoned library.
One hundred years ago, the Universe's greatest library was sealed off with only a cryptic warning as explanation: "Count the shadows."
However, it now appears that the shadows are on the move again, and the Doctor and Donna must uncover the terrible truth behind the Nodes and the horrifying Data Ghost to uncover the Library's secret.
The week off for The Eurovision Song Contest this week shouldn't cause anyone any problems, and comes at what looks like a well-planned place in the series.
The second part of the Steven Moffat story is called Forest of the Dead, with subsequent episodes all written by Russell T Davies:
Episode 10: Midnight – by Russell T Davies
Episode 11: Turn Left- by Russell T Davies
Episode 12: TOP SECRET!
Episode 13: Journey's End – by Russell T Davies
Don't you hate it when they do that?
And don't you hate it when Eurovision gets in the way? Well the BBC's Official Doctor Who website is planning some treats, kicking off with a replay of the "rest of the series" trailer that is due to air this Saturday at 6.45pm.

Is your drawing application powered by Google's Sketchup program by any chance?
why is there a Paper Saw? I know it is a "Battle Bot" n stuff, but is the saw just for looks? No offense or anything, but even if your friend makes a bot, there is no way that saw could cut it r do any damage at all, just wondering why you even put that on there..... But the rest of the bot is pretty sweet, does it have any sensors, or is it R/C or does it just run around? lol well anyway I like the wood framing and it seems like it would go around pretty well, good job on it

Alexis Ziritt Gets Carter
Alexis Ziritt makes his third [and hopefully not last] appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple. I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra. Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three.

Rogan has plans in O.C.
Joe Rogan is pulling double duty in Orange County this weekend.
The comedian and Ultimate Fighting Championship personality stops by City National Grove of Anaheim on Friday night with an all-new stand-up set, then heads up the street to Honda Center on Saturday afternoon to provide color commentary for UFC 157. That event pits Dan Henderson against Lyoto Machida, Urijah Faber vs. Ivan Menjivar and UFC's first-ever women's title fight between bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and top contender Liz Carmouche.
Rogan lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children but says he'd love to move to Orange County. The 45-year-old makes the trek frequently, whether to visit friends, perform at the Irvine Improv or take the kids to Disneyland. But the thought of miles of brake lights on a freeway commute back and forth to Los Angeles for work makes him crazy.
"I have friends that live in Laguna and we went down there the other day – and it took four hours to drive there," he said during a recent phone interview. "It's only a 60-mile drive and it took four hours. You could drive to Vegas in that time."
On Dec. 18, Rogan self-released his sixth stand-up special, "Live from the Tabernacle," available via download for $5 on his website. Following a trend set by popular comics such as Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan and Aziz Ansari, Rogan opted to issue it on his own terms. As such, the recording is turning a profit already.
"I really did do it because of Louis (C.K.) and I'm also a big fan of using the Internet," he said. The host of "The Joe Rogan Experience," a podcast started in 2009 that still enjoys top-rated status on iTunes, said going digital has been one of the smartest things he's done for his career.
"We don't have anyone telling us what to do," he said of the Internet show, taped 2-4 times weekly. "It's just me, and I have two employees, and the podcast has become really successful with millions of downloads every week. It's allowed me to promote my shows and comedy specials in a completely different way.
"The idea that I could have a show where I can just talk to people for hours on end and have them come into my office and sit down with me, it's ridiculous. … It's been a natural progression to go from doing the podcast to now doing this comedy special and releasing it on the Internet, as well."
Though that material is fresh, Rogan won't be performing any of it live when he comes to Anaheim. That audience will be treated to an entirely new set from the aggressive comic, something he's been piecing together over the last couple of months. Human nature being endlessly humorous, he doesn't lack for topics, touching on issues such as politics, religion, marriage and recreational drug use.
"We're ridiculous animals," he said with a laugh. "There's always something stupid to talk about. Every day of the week, if you're paying attention, you can read a newspaper or find stuff online. There's really no getting away from it."
The NBC reality-stunt show "Fear Factor" also provided Rogan with tons of material. As star of the program in 2001-2006, he witnessed some of the most grotesque and stupid things imaginable, watching contestants undergo grueling, sometimes high-risk challenges, such as scaling tall buildings and riding bulls. Other days, he'd shake his head at what the show's competitors would be dared to ingest, including a variety of bugs and all parts of animals: eyeballs, intestines, tongues, testicles.
The show returned in 2011 with Rogan once again hosting – the large payday and comedic fodder was too much to resist, he said. But "Fear Factor" was canceled again last July, largely due to negative response to one of the show's stunts.
Rogan recently sold a new, as-yet-untitled show to the SyFy Network based on topics often discussed during his podcasts, like the existence of Bigfoot and UFO sightings. Rogan has booked numerous "experts" on his show, often getting blown away by what they have to say, whether he agrees or not.
"It's fascinating to me the belief systems that people have and the things people spend time pursuing," he said. "One of the things we're going to do on the show is try to put some subjects to bed, whether it's Bigfoot or UFOs. I'll have comedians, experts and scientists on and I'll talk to believers about these things and approach it with a real open-minded perspective, try to take it all in and make it entertaining."
While he continues to tour as a stand-up act while pursuing these other ventures, Rogan also is dedicated to his work with UFC, proud to have seen the sport grow since he signed on in 1997.
"I've gotten to see it go from when there were very little rules and no weight classes," he said. "People were bare-knuckle and would fight in the strangest and smallest places, like Dothan, Ala., and we'd get on these little puddle-jumper planes to get down there, because that would be the only place that would allow us to put on a fight.
"UFC has gone from that to these gigantic venues like the Rogers Centre in Toronto, where there were 60,000 people. To see that kind of growth and evolution has been most fascinating."

Porsche is giving an unexpected choice for Cayenne buyers come September; a diesel engine. The Porsche Cayenne Diesel makes its U.S. debut at the New York Auto Show this week.
Power comes from a 3.0L turbo-diesel V-6 borrowed from the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg. Power is upped from 225 HP to 240 and torque stands at 406 lb-ft. An eight speed automatic transmission sends the power to all four wheels.
The Cayenne Diesel gets from 0-60 MPH in 7.2 seconds, a top speed of 135 MPH, and gets 20 City/28 Highway.
Pricing for the Cayenne Diesel starts at $55,750, which puts it between the base Cayenne ($52,175) and the Cayenne S ($65,000).
Press Release is on Page 2
2013 Porsche Cayenne
Porsche's First Diesel for the U.S. Market Joins the Cayenne Family
The Porsche Cayenne sport utility family gets a new member for 2013: the Cayenne Diesel. The newest Cayenne model joins the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo.
Originally introduced to the diesel-dominated European market in 2009, clean diesel technology and its many consumer benefits are now available to Porsche customers in the U.S. market for the first time. The Cayenne Diesel arrives in Porsche dealer showrooms in September and will be priced from $55,750, not including a $975 destination charge.
Cayenne Models for 2013
Cayenne, 300-hp, 3.6 liter V6 with active all-wheel-drive
Cayenne Diesel, 240-hp, 3.0 liter V6 turbo diesel engine with SCR-technology and permanent all-wheel drive system with self-locking center differential
Cayenne S, 400-hp, 4.8 liter V8 with active all-wheel-drive
Cayenne S Hybrid, 380-hp parallel full hybrid with 333-hp, 3.0 liter supercharged V6 gasoline engine with additional 47-hp provided by two electric motors with permanent all-wheel drive system with self-locking center differential
Cayenne Turbo, 500-hp, twin-turbocharged, 4.8 liter V8 with active all-wheel-drive
Model Year 2013 Changes
Interior changes, including a new standard analog clock on the dashboard, new door lock buttons placed near the front door handles
European Factory Delivery program offered for all models
Porsche Cayenne Diesel
The new-for-2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel's powerful, yet fuel-efficient 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine, delivers 240-hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque, available from as low as 1,750 rpm. The result is strong 0-60 mph acceleration in just 7.2 seconds and a top track speed of 135 mph. That performance is complemented by best in class fuel economy – based on preliminary internal estimates, the Cayenne Diesel is estimated to achieve a rating of 20 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 23 combined on its U.S. EPA label. Final figures will be confirmed closer to the start of sales later in 2012.
In addition to power and economy, the Cayenne Diesel can travel up to 740 miles on a single tank of fuel.
The Cayenne Diesel is built to meet Tier 2 Bin 5 emission standards, and includes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The SCR system is comprised of an AdBlue® tank located in the car's spare-wheel well, a heating system for this tank and the lines which carry the AdBlue, an injection valve for AdBlue fluid and a selective catalytic reduction converter, which aid in the reduction of NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions.
Highlights of the 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine in the Cayenne Diesel include high pressure common rail fuel injection and a variable vane geometry turbocharger, which give the engine improved response to driver inputs and enhanced fuel economy when compared to more conventional diesel engine technologies. In addition, the engine block is constructed from compacted graphite iron (CGI), which has many of the strength properties of a conventional iron block but with a significant reduction in mass, approximately 55 lbs. (25 kilograms).
The Cayenne Diesel is mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission, without the Auto Start/Stop function available on other Cayenne variants. As with the Cayenne S Hybrid, the Cayenne Diesel includes Porsche Traction Management (PTM), which features permanent all-wheel drive.
The Cayenne Diesel also comes standard with a system to protect the driver from fueling the vehicle with the incorrect fuel. A mechanical safeguard in the fuel tank filler neck ensures that the locking mechanism can only be opened by the larger diameter diesel fuel pump nozzle and that refueling will only begin at that point.
The Cayenne Diesel is designated with a "Diesel" badge on the left and right front fenders.
Model Lineup
Porsche Cayenne
The 3.6-liter V6 in the Porsche Cayenne's engine delivers 300-hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, and is matched to either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission and active all-wheel drive. The Cayenne sprints from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds with the manual transmission, and 7.4 seconds with the Tiptronic S. Top track speed is 143 mph. The Porsche Cayenne has a base MSRP price of $48,850, not including a $975 destination charge.
Porsche Cayenne Diesel
The Porsche Cayenne Diesel is powered by a modern 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. From a stop, it reaches 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, and achieves top track speed of 135 mph. The Cayenne Diesel features compacted graphite iron engine construction for lower weight, low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, as well as improved engine acoustics and low vibrations for smooth engine running. The Cayenne Diesel produces 240-hp and a maximum torque of 406 lb.-ft. Thus, it is ideal for sporty acceleration, driving long distances, towing heavy trailer loads or everyday city driving. The Porsche Cayenne Diesel has a base MSRP price of $55,750, not including a $975 destination charge.
Porsche Cayenne S
The Porsche Cayenne S features a 4.8-liter V8 that produces 400-hp and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. An 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission and active all-wheel drive are standard, as are larger brakes with silver painted calipers. Zero to 60 mph happens in 5.6 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 160 mph. The Porsche Cayenne S has a base MSRP price of $65,850, not including a $975 destination charge.
Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid
The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid combines a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine with an electric motor powered by a 288-volt nickel metal-hydride (NiMh) battery pack for sporty yet fuel-efficient performance. With 380 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque, delivered through an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission to a permanent all-wheel drive system, the Cayenne S Hybrid accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 150 mph. The Cayenne S Hybrid can also operate in electric-only mode at speeds of up to 40 mph, and features Auto Start/Stop technology. The Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid has base MSRP price of $69,850, not including a $975 destination charge.
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Porsche's most potent Cayenne, the Cayenne Turbo, is powered by a twin-turbo 4.8-liter V8. With 500-hp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque, the Cayenne Turbo offers the most impressive performance in the Cayenne lineup.
The Cayenne Turbo accelerates from a standing start to 60 mph in a mere 4.4 seconds and achieves a top track speed of 173 mph. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo has a base MSRP price of $108,750, not including a $975 destination charge.
Compared to the last generation Cayenne models, the current Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo provide up to a 20 percent increase in fuel economy, thanks in part to their lighter weight and 8-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmissions. With the exception of the 6-speed, manual transmission Cayenne, an 8-speed Tiptronic S transmission is standard across the rest of the Cayenne model line. All Cayenne models all are rated to tow 7,716 pounds.
All 8-speed Tiptronic S equipped Cayenne models, except the Cayenne Diesel, feature Auto Start/Stop technology. Auto Start/Stop saves fuel and reduces emissions by turning off the engine when it is not needed, such as while sitting at a stop light.
Upgrades and Changes
Continuous improvement is a hallmark of Porsche Engineering, and the Cayenne interior benefits from a number of customer-friendly changes for 2013.
Central Locking Button
Changes to the car's interior include the addition of door locking and unlocking buttons to the door handles on the driver and passenger's side of the front of the Cayenne.
As one of the most frequently used functions, central locking is now easily accessible to both driver and passenger. Separate buttons for locking and unlocking are now integrated in the door handles. Whether the doors are locked or not can be seen using the integrated feedback LED. The new operating concept allows for much more intuitive operation of the central locking system.
New Analog Clock
A new analog clock mounted on the top of the instrument panel at the center of the vehicle has been added as standard to all Cayenne models.
Highly Sophisticated Audio Systems
The CDR audio system is standard on all Cayenne models. It features a 7-inch color touchscreen display, enabling drivers to navigate and select the main menus and functions. The integrated CD radio, featuring an FM dual tuner, 30 memory presets, dynamic auto-store and speed-sensitive volume control includes a sound system with 10 loudspeakers and a total audio output of 100 watts.
For the ultimate listening experience, drivers can add an optional Bose® Surround Sound system or Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System. Additional options can also be combined with CDR, such as a telephone module, 6-disc DVD changer or rearview camera.
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) System
Powerful, versatile and easy to use the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is the central control system for all information and communications functions. PCM is standard for Cayenne Turbo, and optional for all other Cayenne models.
Key features include a seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen display with optional rotary push-button controls on the steering wheel. The menu layout presents no more than five entries per page, enabling fast and accurate operation. A Help function is displayed at the bottom of the screen for fast guidance.
Color Changes
For 2013, Sand White has been replaced by a new White paint option. Sand Yellow and Amethyst Metallic are no longer available.
New European Delivery Program
For 2013, the Cayenne, like all other Porsche models, can now be ordered for delivery either at their birthplace in Leipzig or at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen.
The Porsche European Delivery program is a memorable experience from the moment an owner is presented with the keys to their new Cayenne. From special photo opportunities at either the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart or the "Porsche Diamond," the main building at Leipzig, to factory tours, owners get the insider's look at how a Porsche automobile is created. European delivery at Porsche world headquarters in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen includes full access to the world-class Porsche Museum where decades of Porsche sports and race car evolution is on display. Owners that choose to take possession of their new Cayenne in Leipzig will have the opportunity to drive a number of different Porsche models on the test track or test the capabilities of a Cayenne SUV off-road at the Porsche Experience Center.

How is the US election affecting markets? Well, it seems that investors expect re-election for President Barack Obama, and their degree of confidence about this has increased remarkably in the last week. Mitt Romney's bad stretch, as far as the markets are concerned, seems to have finished him off. That is the subject of today's Note video, with Gideon Rachman.

On Monday, Kinder announced that it is beginning a new business of owning, leasing and purchasing natural resource reserves within its Terminals business segment so as to pursue non-operating investments in coal, together with other mineral reserve properties and infrastructure. Richard M. Whiting, who is a senior executive with over 35 years of experience in the coal industry, has come to KMP as president of Kinder Morgan Resources, which will own mineral reserve properties and other assets in North America. However, KMP will not actively mine coal or other natural resources, but it will lease properties it purchases to a number of operators in return for royalty payments, with the lessees of the properties dealing with any commodity price risk arising from with the operations, not KMP.

text: The Galaxy Player Looks Like One Sweet Android iPod TouchBrian Barrett10/22/10 8:33amFiled to: AndroidSamsung galaxy playergalaxy playerGalaxyGoogleSamsungMediaPMPAndroid ipod touchipod touchPMPsApple404EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We'd gotten a quick look at the Galaxy Player before, but not like this: a nearly three minute video that shows that Samsung's brought a gun to the iPod Touch gunfight. The Galaxy Player is an Android 2.1 media player, and it looks like the first device to really go toe to toe with Apple's iPod Touch. It's got a 2MP camera, 8GB or 16GB internal memory along with a microSD slot, an FM radio, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3.2-inch screen, built-in DivX support. And access to the Android Market for all your Angry Birds needs. There's no price announced yet for the US, but it's currently available for at 200 euros overseas. The iPod Touch costs about the same in euros and in dollars, so we'll hopefully see the Galaxy Player come in at around 200 bucks. If you're an Android fan, you've been waiting a long time for this.

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei, releasing a considerable amount of energy.
In the 20th and 21st century, nuclear fission was used as a power source in nuclear fission reactors, but also as a devastating weapon. Nuclear fission produces beta radiation. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek: First Contact; DS9: "Little Green Men")
The thought of nuclear fission taking place in a planet's atmosphere shocked Quark and Rom when they learned about it from Nog in 1947. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
According to an unused okudagram from TNG: "The Royale", released in Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission, the Charybdis was equipped with a block D gas-core fission reaction propulsion system. [1]

When talking about insurance, people think that the only payments they'll have to make are the ones for premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. While these two different payments will make up a large portion of the payments you make, there are a few other fees and charges that might not seem immediately apparent at first. If you want to get a better understanding of the other possible expenses you should expect from your automobile insurance in North Carolina from https://insurancequote.deals/north-carolina-auto-insurance-quotes/, read through the pointers listed below.
Other Fees and Charges in Automobile Insurance in North Carolina
- Surcharges or Extra Premium Charges – Your insurance agency probably has close a thousand different clients, that means there are more people just like you who are seeking to secure financial assistance for their vehicles. To be able to evenly spread out the costs of their services among their policyholders, insurance agencies often implement a surcharge on riskier clients. If you have a good driving record and no previous history of vehicular accidents, you can expect to be granted a lower premium rate. But someone with a bad driving record and involvement in an accident up to three years in the past could expect to be charged more.
- Mid-Policy Cancellation or Short-Rate Cancellations – This refers to the act of cancelling your policy before the term ends. Remember, your insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance provider, so if you decide to render that contract null and void before its actual end date, you will incur a fee. Usually, your insurance provider will retain 10% of the unearned premium in order to pay off the expenses it incurred as it granted you your policy. Many policyholders cancel their insurance coverage mid-term because they no longer own the vehicle.
- Installment Fees – Did you know that you can actually pay for your premium rate 100% right off the bat? While this option is available, many insurance buyers opt to spread out their premium payments throughout the given year. Although this might seem a little easier on the wallet, it's important to note that opting for an installment plan will incur installment fees. This is to pay for the costs of sending you multiple bills throughout the year as well as processing multiple payments.
- Fees for Insufficient Funds – If you paid with a cheque, a credit/debit card, or an electronic transfer and your bank rejects the transaction, be prepared to pay a fee for insufficient funds. Whenever you make your payments, ensure that you're bank isn't in a maintenance period or that you have enough in your account to pay for your premium to avoid these extra automobile insurance in North Carolina fees.

Those who believe in the innate goodness of humankind have never walked the 100 block of D Street S.E. in Washington.
Let's start at 110 D St., the drab Hill House apartment complex; police were summoned here, to Apartment 215, when a woman complained that her lover, then-Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Pa., a married man, tried to strangle her.
Walk a few doors down and you arrive at a townhouse with a birdbath in front: 132 D St., the "Safe House" where, under artwork provided by clients of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, former House majority leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and his colleagues made fundraising calls and set up a lobbying business.
Across the street at No. 137, a charming stucco house under a shade tree, is where then-Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., was reportedly visited by teenagers; from there he also sent lewd instant messages to boys.
On the corner of the block stands an appropriately whitewashed structure housing the Republican National Committee, where thousands of e-mails from Karl Rove and other White House officials mysteriously vanished. Also on the block: the former home of Porter Goss, who, as director of the CIA, hired Dusty Foggo, indicted as part of the bribery case that also imprisoned former California Rep. Duke Cunningham.
With at least 16 current and former members of Congress under investigation and congressional committees issuing two dozen subpoenas to current and former administration officials, there has never been a better time to take a scandalous tour of Washington.
Scandal tourists, there is no time to tarry here. You must hurry to the corner town house near RFK Stadium where the FBI found $90,000 in a congressman's freezer; the men's room at Union Station, said to be a favorite hangout of the "sitting" senator from Idaho, Larry Craig; the corner on Pennsylvania Avenue where a former national security adviser hid classified documents under a construction trailer; hotels where Scooter Libby told Judy Miller to call him a "former Hill staffer" and where a defense contractor provided refreshments and allegedly prostitutes for government officials; and the marina where a congressman once moored the boat he earned as a bribe.
There has never been a bad time for the scandal industry here. The comedy group Gross National Product has long conducted Scandal Tours for the prurient. But a check of the group's Web site indicates that the tour's itinerary is in need of updating. It still includes Ollie North's shredding (1986), the Watergate break-in (1972), Gary Hart and Donna Rice (1987), Rita and John Jenrette (1981) and Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill (1991). The tour still features the Tidal Basin, where Wilbur Mills and a stripper were caught — in 1974. Mills, once chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, has been dead for 15 years.
After the past few years, Washington can do better (which is to say worse) than that.
Begin your tour across the river at the Ritz-Carlton in Pentagon City. This is where old scandal meets new. Here is where Marv Albert bit a Virginia woman in 1997 and where Monica Lewinsky was recorded and photographed while she had lunch with Linda Tripp in 1998 and was later questioned by the FBI. In 2004, the FBI recorded a meeting between Pentagon official Larry Franklin and two top pro-Israel lobbyists as part of an ongoing espionage case.
All of this means that William Jefferson, a Democratic congressman from Louisiana, should have known something was up when, in July 2005, business partner Lori Moody invited him to the hotel. There, FBI agents recorded Jefferson accepting a briefcase containing $100,000 intended as a bribe for an African official.
To see the rest of the Jefferson story, hop on Interstate 395 back into town, and make your way to 1350 F St. N.E. In August 2005, FBI agents found $90,000 of the money wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed in frozen-food containers in Jefferson's freezer. Jefferson won re-election last year and has since been indicted.
Public restrooms are scarce downtown, so take advantage of the facilities at Union Station to freshen up. A man told the Idaho Statesman that this popular meeting point for gay sex is where he once had a sexual encounter with Craig, R-Idaho.
Continue down Capitol Hill and you will soon arrive at the E. Barrett Prettyman federal courthouse, which is a pretty sight indeed for the scandal hunter. Here, where Pennsylvania and Constitution avenues meet, Libby was found guilty of perjury in the Valerie Plame leak scandal and sentenced to 30 months in prison before President Bush commuted the sentence. Here, the dozen convictions in the Abramoff case were secured, including that of the former No. 2 at the Interior Department, Steven Griles, sentenced to 10 months.
Here, too, alleged D.C. madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey is heading toward trial, accused of running a prostitution ring that has already forced out deputy secretary of state Randall Tobias and caused embarrassment for Sen. David Vitter, R-La. And here, a grand jury is investigating former congressman Curt Weldon, R-Pa., for influence peddling.
A few blocks up Pennsylvania Avenue NW is the Justice Department (950 Pennsylvania Ave.). Here, officials hatched an ill-fated plan to dismiss eight U.S. attorneys and replace them with "loyal Bushies." That produced a flurry of subpoenas to administration officials, a constitutional stalemate between the White House and Congress, and an acute case of amnesia for then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as he tried to recall his role in the dismissals.
Continuing along Pennsylvania Avenue will soon deposit you at Lafayette Square, across from the White House, where in 2002 a disk containing a political presentation by Rove was mysteriously found by a Senate Democratic staffer. The 27-page PowerPoint document had been stored on government computers.
One block north on 16th Street is the St. Regis Hotel, where "former Hill staffer" Libby ate two meals with New York Times reporter Judith Miller and told her about Valerie Plame's work for the CIA.
Walking several blocks north of the GSA brings the scandal tourist to Dupont Circle. On the south side of the circle (1333 New Hampshire Ave.) is the Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld law firm, which recently suspended a legal secretary after she admitted moonlighting for the D.C. madam's escort service.
Time for a break.
Revive yourself in Washington's tony West End at the Westin Grand, 2350 M St. N.W. This is where Brent Wilkes, another defense contractor involved in the Cunningham scandal, hosted wild poker parties. Federal investigators contacted escort services to determine whether Wilkes supplied Cunningham, Foggo and other officials with prostitutes at these parties, which began at the Watergate Hotel and then moved to the Westin.
Last stop: a trip downriver to the Capital Yacht Club (1000 Water St. S.W.) Among those who have floated their boats here are Republican senators Craig of Idaho and Ted Stevens of Alaska; Stevens has become ensnared in a corruption probe in his home state. Here, too, is where Cunningham lived aboard his boat, the Duke-Stir. Defense contractor Wade bribed the congressman with a $140,000 boat and received a federal contract.
Today, the yacht club itself is a bit run-down, and trash floats in the water. A janitor making his way along the pier recently was asked about the Duke-Stir. "It's gone," he said.
But not forgotten.
Washington, D.C.

In a recent rant, entitled Neo-Illiteracy, Joe Harris launches a full blown knee-jerk assault on the degeneration of the cultural forms that he prizes so much. Here is a sample:
- When the hell did Dickens or Hemingway ever write in pidgin English? As a conscientious literary mind, I gasped in horror upon cracking the "LOL" code. Freshly evolved gray matter reverts to ooze. Mark Twain wants to see us all in Hell. There are neither "Xs" nor "Os" in "hugs and kisses." Both forms of human contact are too much to bear, yet not enough to get me there. How does an intellectual pig write, "go die somewhere."
He is, of course, alluring to the simplification that emerged as part of the text messaging phenomenon. But this contemporary critique of modern language is not uncommon, nor is it new. People were — and still are — apt to blame television for people getting stupider, just as Plato had Socrates lament that literacy would limit our mental faculties.
Contrary to this vision of despair, however, there is a great deal of potential in this generation of network dwellers. What we now see emerging is not the end of civilization, but the triumph of the new literary that is by and for the people. A writing that develops form the ground up without the need to be imposed from above. A skill that children feel compelled to learn because they see it in constant use.
For instance, my nephew, who is only in 4th grade approaches the challenge of reading with enthusiasm because he knows that I won't help him to surf the net for whatever it is he wants – be it games, cheat codes or funny pictures. He understands from observation that knowing how to read is crucial, because it is so necessary to getting anything done.
Immersed in writing more than any previous generation; with text messages, forums, chat, and multiplayer video games, rudimentary reading and writing is becoming the minimum standard for having fun and engaging with friends. Such continuous exposure and practice can only make for better readers and writers.
And yet there is no shortage of reductionist pessimists who seem to believe that such competence will remain at the entry level. To quote Harris again:
- We use money and technology when brainpower trumps them both. Thought is bypassed with acronyms and teenage girl-esque slang. Even a dog's bark is a language. Is alpha grunting the next hot fashion?
Contrary to the hyperbole, English has a long and colourful history of incorporating slang and onomatopoeia. In fact, the Macquarie Dictionary's latest Word of the Year is 'Toxic Debt', which just goes to show how language adapts to serve its context. The emphasis on shorthand in chat and messaging, which is so often decried, neglects the fact that the longer and deeper craft of traditional letter writing was necessitated by an infrequent postal service.
Far from the allegations that modern technology shall bring about a breakdown and disintegration of grammatical coherence; the truth is a bit more subtle. After all, in a literacy centered world the inability to write coherently is equivalent to having a speech impediment and tends to produce the same kind of alienation. And this social pressure doesn't just come from senior netizens like myself – I have also seen teenagers apply it to their friends on a regular basis.
More to the point, chat and SMS are not the only way that young people express themselves. Online forums and sites like BlogCritics provide young writers like myself an opportunity to be read and responded to without having to rely on the sugarcoating of our friends, family or neighbors. In the former especially, there are presently multitudes of young people honing their literary craft by their own volition. And with more time for literary practice than schools could ever provide, we may see a renaissance-like boom in the next 10-20 years.
As Malcolm Gladwell points out in in his wonderful new book Outliers, what makes for greatness is not innate talent but the availability of time to practice. He even puts a number on it – 10,000 hours, which holds true for musicians, chess masters and even computer programmers. Heck, William Shakespeare and Amadeus Mozart were lucky to have grown up in such close proximity to their mediums. The children of today have been empowered to learn their craft from the bottom up, with exposure and assistance from those at many different stages of development.
While the old literacy was learned through rehearsing the rules that society "agreed" upon; the new literacy is built upon the mutual understanding of participants. It will diversify in its idioms and dialects and require an open and adaptive mind. Hence, it is little wonder that it poses a threat to those who like their traditional codes and conventions. The flux of new literacy demands an attentiveness and flexibility that was once reserved for tribal diplomats.
Of course, this is not to neglect the role of education but teaching must be valued in its proper place. If an isolated community of deaf children can build their own language of signs and symbols in spite of their teachers, then perhaps the popular emphasis on traditional correctness is misguided.
What really matters is that young people learn how to communicate effectively with those that matter. Not whether you understand the jargon yourself.

Advertisement Speaking with Japanese site Cinema Today, Studio Ghibli denied involvement, saying, "This doesn't have anything to do with us."Kiki's Delivery Service was originally a book that was released in 1985 in Japan. Studio Ghibli turned it into an anime in 1989. Advertisement Cinema Today contacted the book's publisher, Fukuinkan Shoten, who replied, "We cannot comment." The publisher, however, acknowledged that there were plans a few years ago to turn the original source material into a Hollywood film, but added, "It never materialized." Back in 2005, reports stated that Disney was planning a live-action Kiki's Delivery Service based on the book.

text: Castros reunite at historic adobe homePosted: Monday, Oct 13th, 2008The three-hour celebration offered friends and family a rare glimpse inside the two-story home that was purchased by the state in 2002 and named the Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe State Historic Park. The home — which is one of five such buildings in the state — is undergoing a major restoration to restore it as close to its original state as possible. It was built in 1848-49 by Juan Jose Castro, son of Jose Joaquin Castro, an original member of the De Anza party expedition of 1775. "We were just heart-warmed that so many people have come to this wonderful event," said Castro family member Charlie Kieffer. "To be able to celebrate a family heritage of this scale is just great." Kieffer said that the Castro family usually celebrates a reunion at Wilder State Park, but were able to meet at the adobe home on Old Adobe Road with special permission because the structure has been strengthened enough with recent construction to accommodate small groups of people for brief tours. The reunion party largely centered in the shady garden area beside the home. Though various families have lived at the home over the decades, the Castro Adobe house had been crumbling under the weight of 160 years of sun, rain and wind — as well as two major earthquakes. After the structure was damaged in the1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, then-owner Edna Kimbro tried for years to get it restored before selling it to the state in 2002. It's now a national historic site and a California Historical Landmark. State plans call for its complete restoration. "The grandest of all adobe buildings representing Northern California's rancho period is the two-story Castro Adobe," according to the Castro Adobe Web site. "This hacienda features a spacious fandango room on the second floor and an original one-story cocina, one of only five such Mexican kitchens remaining in the state. With its long, two-story proportions and full-width open balcony, it is a distinctly Monterey-Colonial building that demonstrates the expansion to the countryside of this celebrated architectural form from its original urban setting, at the end of the Mexican era (1821-48)." Renovation work is now approaching the final stages of roof work, said Chris Barraza, the carpenter foreman working with the project. New roof rafters are being bolstered by I-beam steel and numerous bolts and lags. Porch work is next in order, as well as extensive interior restoration. Teams of volunteers recently built 2,500 adobe bricks that are being used to reconstruct some of the walls. The bricks were put up for "adoption" for $100 each, an idea borne to raise funds for future phases of the restoration. Dobie Jenkins said he not only helped make some of the bricks, but also was happy to get on board a tour of the upper floor of the Castro Adobe Saturday. "I heard a lot of stories I've never heard about this place," Jenkins said. "There's so much to learn. It's really important keeping this history alive. They thought for a long time that this building was just going to end up as rubble. And now look at all this work that has taken place." For nearly a year, a team of state experts adept in restoring historic buildings have been working on the structure. Now, walls once crumbling to dust are fully restored, smoothed with adobe mud by craftsmen whose knowledge runs back generations. ••• Staff writer Todd Guild contributed to this report. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• *Photos by Tarmo Hannula* (Published in 10/13/08 edition) Share on Facebook |

Google Play introduces 'Featured Android Apps for Tablets' category with 116 apps
0. phoneArena 28 Mar 2013, 06:46 posted on
Google has just rolled out a new category on the Play store and it sums up the best tablet apps on Android. 'Featured Android Apps for Tablets' brings a fine selection of 116 applications…

Its hard to believe that theyre JUST starting to differentiate tablet apps. I'm an android fan but because of the apps would choose an ipad any day. These developers need to start supporting android tablets!
3. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1245; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it all ready provides me thousands of apps and I'm still discovering more... Sure ipads have more apps, but what app exactly that your looking for?
Remember ipads cannot download ringtones, wallpapers, mp3, home launchers, emulators, rooted apps etc. So android still has many advantages.
6. greathero1 (Posts: 568; Member since: 13 Jun 2008)
The customizations are cool and that is the main reason why Android is my choice for phones but the tablet optimized apps offer a much richer user experience from my experience. Its less about matching app for app and more about matching app experience with app experience. My first tablet was an Android tablet and I moved to the iPad and I definitely will not be going back anytime soon.
8. funnyguy (banned) (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
First the galaxy note 10.1 is Garbage compared to the ipad2, let alone the ipad 3 and 4...
The reason is because the note 10.1 laggs like a motherf**ker..
What apps are you looking for?
The games and apps android users have where released for ios like a year ago.
What seriously ringtones?
Mp3? dude you can download free songs on an ipad, educate yourself...it's simple and easy.
You can even download torents and films for free...
What you play SNES games?
Dude have you seen the gaming library of the iPhone?
Did you know that PPSSPP emulator will be released for jail broken IOS devices and you will be able to play psp games on your ipad?
You know if you jailbreak your ipad then you can even have a file manager...and some form of widgets...
The only real advantage android has over ios are the widgets, and to be hones 98% of them are useless.

We already have all the mentioned above features and more on Android, and without rooting the device.
Go back to sleep.

shut up all ipads and iphones are dual core and that is so 2011 not 2013

I'm looking for apps that are designed to for landscape mode. I have an Asus Transformer with keyboard dock, so it is always in landscape mode. You wouldn't believe how crappy some apps are in landscape mode. There are many more that don't even support landscape at all. Banking apps are notorious for not supporting landscape. I contacted the developer about it and they told me to use the mobile web site.
2. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
great....and the most important is that we can install even non-tablet apps to our tablets unlike limited iPad...
5. greathero1 (Posts: 568; Member since: 13 Jun 2008)
I have not had any problem installing iPhone apps on my tablet at all but I really do not have to go that route because of the large selection available specifically for my tablet. Those blown up apps suck and the only one I have kept was Papa Johns. The user experience of the tablet apps are far superior to the others and is the only reason I own an iPad. Google probably should start giving incentives to the developers to try to sway them.
12. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
Ok, thanks for correction me..... But iConboard is still just limited iConboard :-)
4. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
most are games and dont really need an tablet ui, cant believe how very little tablet apps there still for android tablets, i have the nexus 7 and most of the times i just end up using my s3 as the nexus 7 doesnt really offer me anything over an app on my phone.
7. funnyguy (banned) (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
Sure but in the mid time I am enjoying some good new ios exclusive game releases on my ipad...
Like stargate sg1,Fetch,Unmechanical and Sonic Dash...
Plus new games like Broken Age,XCOM enemy unknown and final fantasy 5 are coming soon.
9. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
need a good facebook app
17. techguy22 (Posts: 227; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
this is a good move. we need more apps. well, tablet apps.

Greetings, everyone.
It's Friday, which means it's time for another edition of Penguins Pit.
It's the final Friday of the regular season, and hosts Jonathan Bombulie and Michael Cignoli spend much of this week's episode breaking down what might be the biggest regular-season game in the 15-year history of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. It's tonight's road game against the Binghamton Senators, with the East Division championship essentially being decided on the ice.
Their guest this week is Penguins winger Harry Zolnierczyk, who talks about topics ranging from the upcoming Binghamton game and his recent time in the National Hockey League to how the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coaching staff has changed his game for the better and how he feels heading into his first professional playoff series.
Jonathan and Michael also spend some time talking about Saturday night's game against Utica, including its role in the Penguins' hopes of clinching the division, and some possible first-round upsets in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They also discuss Tomas Vokoun's conditioning stint, the reinforcements arriving for the playoff run — and the impact that has on the Penguins' veteran situation — and the latest players to join the Penguins on amateur tryout deals. There's a lot more inside, too, so click the player or link below to listen.

Well 'ello! How are you today? Good? I hope so. I hope where ever you are, the sun is shining.
Enough with the formalities.
I have things to tell you. I made this. The other day I saw that one of my favorite Columbus organizations, Local Matters was having a contest to design a logo and slogan for their annual local foods week. The prize is a summer of free produce, which I can definitely get down with. Go make something and enter! There's still nearly a week left.
I almost always start a project out by sketching, but I rarely (if ever) show anyone the preliminary stages. Today is a special treat.
And I almost forgot! I have succumbed to the madness that is Twitter. I KNOW! Have I no standards?! Anywho, if you care to become amazing friends with me and potentially share a milkshake with two straws some day, you should hit me up. Here I am.
Take care, everyone.

FINDLAY — A program run by the Hancock County Sheriff's Office helped 23 intoxicated people get home on New Year's Eve, the agency reported yesterday.
Between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 3 a.m. Thursday, free rides and tows were offered to people who consumed too many alcoholic beverages too drunk to drive home.
Five people were arrested on drunken driving charges in that time, the sheriff's office reported.

The Problem of Replication
As intractable as those issues may seem, there are compelling reasons to address them. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies depend on academic research when developing new drugs, and erroneous studies waste time and money. "Not being able to rely on research results has made early-stage investing harder," says Booth, who is an advisor to the Reproducibility Initiative, a network launched by Iorns and other scientists to help researchers independently validate study findings. The National Institutes of Health, meanwhile, has established pilot programs to address replication problems, and some leading science journals are raising the bar on their standards for publication. "Everyone is asking whether this is something we can fix, but it's clear there are no simple answers," Fang says.
Repeated experimentation has always been a foundation of scientific discovery. In the 17th century, Robert Boyle, considered the first modern chemist, argued that if findings were to be credible and reliable, they had to be based on methods that independent researchers could learn, assess and replicate. Three centuries later, Austrian philosopher Karl Popper, writing in The Logic of Scientific Discovery in 1934, asserted that "non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science."
Yet while few may question the importance of replication, the technology and complexity of scientific experimentation today can make it enormously challenging. "A lot of techniques in my laboratory take a long time to master, and there's a steep learning curve before we can reproduce even our own results," says Fang, a microbiologist. "So another lab saying 'We're going to repeat the high-energy UV laser footprinting you just did on those nucleoprotein complexes' is going to find it very daunting—and that's just one component of the experiment."
But the growing complexity of research methodologies is hardly the only reason replication is no longer a routine part of scientific discovery. "A big factor is that scientists have strong incentives to introduce new ideas, but weak ones to confirm the validity of old ideas," says Brian Nosek, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. "Innovative findings produce rewards of publication, employment and tenure. Replicated findings produce a shrug."
In fiscal year 2012, the NIH's reported annual research funding of $31 billion was down by about 17 percent (adjusted for inflation) from its high in 2003. The number of applicants for NIH grants has soared almost threefold, and the NIH is able to fund fewer than one in five grant proposals. New PhDs must compete for both research dollars and tenure, while senior researchers worry about being able to do the work necessary to extend their careers.
Meanwhile, there may be inadequate training for the postdoctoral students who often play key research roles. And while outright fraud may be rare, it appears to be on the increase. As a percentage of all scientific articles published from January 1973 through May 2012, retractions for fraud or suspected fraud increased tenfold, according to a study Fang and his colleagues published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in October 2012. "Overt dishonesty is the extreme," Fang says. "The broad problems of reproducibility have more to do with how the work is presented and how rigorously it has been obtained because of time pressures and the importance of getting positive results."

Around the same time, Dunlap was outspoken about efforts to tighten up Maine's requirements for handing out driver's licenses (repeat after me: I promise I am not an illegal alien), amid reports that criminals were bringing vanloads of undocumented foreign nationals into the state to sign up, even though many of them didn't have Social Security numbers (apparently, no one told them about the Dumpster behind the State Archives). Dunlap was opposed to stricter regulations, saying they'd put too much responsibility on his overburdened office.
In 2009, Dunlap discovered the reason he'd been having trouble paying the expenses incurred in elections over the previous two years was that he'd neglected in 2007 to file a routine form that would have directed $125,000 from a bond issue to balloting costs. The Legislature, already dealing with massive budget shortfalls, had to bail him out.
And as last year came to a close, Dunlap celebrated by not meeting the constitutionally mandated 30-day deadline for reviewing signatures on petitions seeking a people's veto of a new tax-reform law. He blamed the delay on staff cuts, told the Portland Press Herald he was exercising "common sense" in dealing with more pressing matters first, and anyway, he told Maine Public Radio, he was in "material compliance" with the law.
In December, a Superior Court justice interpreted that statute somewhat differently, finding that by missing the deadline, Dunlap had forfeited his authority to certify the signatures. The secretary's reaction to his latest bit of boobery: "Well," he told public radio, "I think [the petition-drive organizers] have a pretty valid point."
So does Dunlap. On his head.
If you e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com, I promise to respond within 30 days.

Even though Heavenly will be closed for the ski season in mid-May, the unique thing about Tahoe is that it's not all just about the mountains. While it is the main draw for myself (and so many others), it's just the top item on a very long list of perks. Aside from the amazing snow, abundant sunshine, sandy summer beaches, stellar views and impressive terrain, Tahoe proudly owns the world's most unrivaled Après and nightlife scenes; laying the concrete for a thriving concert atmosphere.
But, since most of you don't need convincing when it comes to visiting Tahoe and partying, I'll continue on to tell you about something very, very important and serious; The Shins are coming to Tahoe May 11.
The Shins are an Albuquerque-now-Portland-based Indie-Rock band that have been stealing the hearts and ears of so many music lovers since 1996. Their cheerful, down-to-earth sound is an easy one to become addicted to, no matter your typical listening habits. If you plugged The Shins into a Pandora station, you would likely hear the beats of Modest Mouse, The Postal Service, Band of Horses, The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Elliott Smith, etc.
Or, if you're more of a movie buff and you've seen the movie "Garden State" a few of their songs may sound familiar, such as "Caring is Creepy" and "New Slang" which also landed on their 2001 debut album "Oh, Inverted World." Many people would say that their presence in "Garden State" exposed The Shins to a broader audience, giving them the exposure they needed to launch into a musical jet stream of Billboard chart-topping awesomeness.
Now, for those of you who are already die-hard Shins fans and are questioning the purpose of this Shins-related Heavenly blog…behold! Heavenly is giving away tickets to the May 11 show at MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa in South Lake Tahoe! It's bound to be an amazing show, as the band will be touring for their March 2012 album "Port of Morrow."
So, if you're ready to Wince the Night Away with The Shins in Tahoe, here's how to enter to win one of five pairs of tickets:
– Send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Shins Giveaway" by Friday, March 29.
– Winners will be selected at random and notified by email on April 1. (No April Fool's!)
– One entry per person…no cheating!
Good luck my fellow Shins fans!
To read more about the interesting history of The Shins or look for tour dates near your hometown on their website.
