I must admit I hadn't heard of this project just yet, but I was intrigued right away. It's called the Linux Unified Kernel, and aims to combine the Linux kernel and the Windows NT kernel to effectively create a new kernel that supports both Linux and Windows binaries natively. They do this by implementing Windows NT kernel mechanisms into the Linux kernel using kernel modules, such as NT's process management, thread management, object management, virtual memory management, synchronisation, system calls, Windows registry (worms? Can? Of?), WDM (device driver framework), Windows DPC mechanism, and so on. Even Windows drivers would work using this new hybrid kernel (a little kernel geek humour, there).
The new kernel actually supports two sets of system calls, one for Windows, and one for Linux. Since I'm not a programmer (let alone a kernel programmer), I have to resort to Wikipedia to explain how this all works. If I understand it all correctly, Windows binaries call the syscal table via a different interrupt than Linux binaries do (
int 0x2e vs.
int 0x80). I'm sure some of you will be able to provide more insight into what, exactly, this all means. When it comes to the userland, the LUK project does not write its own material; instead, it relies on the GNU project for the Linux side of things, and on Wine and ReactOS for the Windows side.
The people behind LUK hope that eventually, their code will be merged into mainline. There's still a lot of work to do before every Windows application will just work out of the box, but progress is steadily made, and the Chinese Linux distribution MagicLinux even has a special version built on top of LUK. Currently, it's x86-only, but work is underway to port it to the Loongson architecture. The Loongson 3 processor includes 200 additional instructions to speed up x86 translation, in case you're wondering how MIPS would run Windows.
In any case, version 0.2.4 of LUK was released recently, so if you're adventurous, you can get it from their download page.

Author Notes: Cherry tomatoes respond well to roasting -- their skins caramelize and sweeten, and their pulp concentrates, so you end up with blistered tomato candy. And if you add enough olive oil to the roasting pan, the tomato juices emulsify with the oil, making for a wildly good dressing.
Sometimes, I roast cherry tomatoes and serve them over sliced fresh mozzarella, a riff on the caprese salad. It makes for a tighter, more acutely flavored version of this classic salad -- more dinner party first course, less lunch out on the deck. —Amanda Hesser
Serves: 6
2 cups small yellow cherry tomatoes, rinsed
2 cups small red grape or cherry tomatoes, rinsed
4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
1/2 cup olive oil
Coarse, flaky salt
1 pound fresh mozzarella
Freshly ground black pepper
Handful small basil leaves (or torn basil leaves)
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the garlic cloves. Sprinkle over the olive oil and season with salt.
- Roast the tomatoes until they begin to wrinkle and caramelize, and their juices release into the oil, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Cut the mozzarella into 1/8-inch-thick slices and arrange, overlapping slightly, on a platter. Spoon the tomatoes and -- most importantly -- their juices and the oil, over the mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. Drop the basil leaves on top. Gaze proudly at the gorgeous dish you've just assembled.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Kobe Bryant had 21 points and eight rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame the absences of Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace, and the loss of Pau Gasol to beat the Brooklyn Nets 92-83 on Tuesday night.
Antawn Jamison, starting for the suspended World Peace, made the go-ahead basket during a closing 14-3 run for the Lakers, who have won three straight and six of their last seven games.
Howard missed his third consecutive game with a torn labrum in his right shoulder and Gasol, his replacement, appeared to injure his right foot with a little more than 4 minutes remaining.
Brook Lopez capitalized on the Lakers' centre woes to finish with 30 points and 11 rebounds, but he was the Nets' only offence down the stretch in their fourth loss in six games.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George scored 29 points to lead Indiana to its 15th straight home win.
David West had 15 points and seven rebounds and George Hill added 15 points and eight assists to help the Pacers to their fourth straight victory overall and their longest home win streak in 13 years.
Jeff Teague had 24 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead the Hawks, who have lost three of their last four.
The Pacers went on a 7-2 run midway through the fourth quarter. Lance Stephenson scored on a layup before Hill hit a 3-pointer with 6:28 left to play to give the Pacers a 100-84 lead, their largest advantage of the game.
HOUSTON (AP) — The Rockets tied an NBA record and set a franchise mark with 23 3-pointers in win over Golden State.
Jeremy Lin scored 28 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers, and Chandler Parsons and James Harden hit four 3s apiece as the Rockets reached a season-high point total. They also tied an NBA record with 14 3-pointers in the first half and had a season-high 35 assists on 46 field goals overall.
Harden added 18 and Parsons scored 16 for Houston. The Rockets put on the shooting display without their best 3-point shooter — Carlos Delfino sat out with a right elbow injury.
Jarrett Jack scored 20 points and David Lee had 18 for the Warriors.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Goran Dragic scored 15 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to lead Phoenix past Memphis.
Dragic, who had just two points on 1-for-6 shooting through three quarters, was 5 for 6 in the fourth, including converting three three-point plays to help the Suns snap a two-game losing streak.
After the score was tied at 88, Dragic scored six straight points to put the game away.
Marcin Gortat led the Suns with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field, while Jermaine O'Neal had 14 points. Kendall Marshall added 11 points and Luis Scola finished with 10.
Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including 3 of 4 on 3-pointers, to lead the Grizzlies. Zach Randolph had 21 points and 13 rebounds, and Tayshaun Prince scored 11 points.
DENVER (AP) — Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson each scored 22 points to help rally Denver for its seventh straight victory.
The Nuggets withstood Samuel Dalembert's career-high 35 points and trailed by 17 points in the first half before coming back to beat the Bucks for the fifth time in a row and get their longest winning streak overall in more than two years.
Corey Brewer added 20 points and Kenneth Faried 13 points and rebounds for the Nuggets, who didn't lead in the game until late in the fourth quarter.
Dalembert finished 17 for 21 from the floor in surpassing his previous career high of 27 points on March 14, 2011, against Golden State while with Sacramento.

Henry of Navarre (UK - BD RB)
Our Marcus is bored by another period epic even if this one was a bit sexier....
France in the mid-16th century; the story of Henry IV (Julien Boisselier) plays out as he battles in a religious war that is full of deadly plots, scandals, love affairs and of course epic battles.
Originally shot as a two part TV series, it is presented here as a two and a half hour movie and really rather than being like Gladiator or something Ridley Scott-esq like this is being advertised as, Henry Of Navarre fits more snugly into the current wave of sexed up TV period dramas.
Henry of Navarre (or Henri 4) is a long film and when I found out it was originally made as a two part TV series it made a bit more sense. This is all about small segments of drama to stop an audience switching channels. There's some hokey plotting with some madcap characters and when that gets dull there's some male bonding or a battle. Then of course there's the sex to stop all that other stuff getting boring. Weirdly out of the drawn out the many drawn out scenes, it's the sex scenes that stick around the longest which is a good thing because the script here is pretty routine and it gets tiresome very early on.
As for the characters no one is all that great outside of Henry himself. Boisselier has a genuine charm to his performance and makes Henry a likable guy for the most part. Everyone else doesn't quite match up to him and the very run-of-the-mill nature of this entire project made for a pretty boring watch even with sex scenes spicing it up a bit.
This is one pretty looking transfer. The image is bright, full of that glow only HD can muster and is literally packed full of incredible detail. Whether night scenes or daylight, the visuals here just look great.
Delving deeper, stand out elements are faces. Whether the wrinkled faces of older characters or Henry's stubbled jaw, small details just pop. Bone structure, sweat and dirt all look natural and sharp enough to touch. Clothing also stands out, from small designs in the fabric to the layers of dust built up from the long journeys; everything feels very weighty and really shows off the work from the wardrobe department.
As for the locations, it has to be said the interior sets can look a little fake, well-made but fake none the less, especially when compared to some of the real world interior sets like old houses and castles. The exteriors are a different story as they pop off the screen every single time they are revealed to us. There's a scene in a snow covered forest where the autumnal colours and the dark clothes of the horse riders galloping through it look incredibly rich in detail despite the overcast skies and some of the open field battles are filled with some very well presented (and grisly visuals). Henry of Navarre really is an impressive looking disc and every ounce of work that's gone into recreating this period is on show to enjoy.
Outside of terrible lip sync issues that are distracting to say the least, the DTS-HD Master Audio track feels very powerful. Dialogue is very clear (mainly because it appears it was recorded separately). It seems the TV show/film was shot with a mix of German and French dialogue but this release has a full French dub - complicated right (hence the sync issues)? There's also a powerful bit of bass here to add some oomph to the track.
The score has a strong presence with its fairly routine sounding epicness firing on all cylinders and filling the room. The battle sequences are layered with multiple clangs and scrapes of swords and armour and of course there's a strong presence of the participants shouting at one another. The same can be said for simple scenes like walking through a busy street. It's obviously not packed with quite the same amount of power but the track is still peppered with small nuances to make the crowds feel larger than they actually are (and to sell some of those fake-ish looking sets again).
The making of (04:27 SD) is a bit of a joke. It's literally just footage shot on set of people getting into costume and the director checking them out. It's not even five minutes in length.
The trailer gallery has the UK Trailer (02:07 HD) and the original trailer—which is in original German dialogue (02:27 HD) and the only other extras are the 'also available' trailers.
Henry of Navarre was dull and I don't think it's because I generally think the epic period drama genre is dull anyway—this was genuinely pretty lifeless. There were some good looking ladies in period costumes (and out of them) but this whole thing felt like all the other tepid period dramas on TV, with all the same typical characters and all the same typical story arcs. The Blu-ray thankfully looks and sounds fantastic but with no extras giving us insight to the historical elements or even the making of the TV show/movie this all feels very weak.

In an ornate, late-19th-century building on downtown Orlando's historic Church Street, a trendy Spanish tapas bar and restaurant is abuzz with tourists and locals. Upbeat rhythms from Seville fill the air.
But Emilio San Martín says there is a ghostly presence here that is anything but festive.
"A recurring sighting here is [that of] a man in a collar hanging from the ceiling beams," San Martín said of the building at 125 W. Church St.
San Martín, 43, is a modern-day ghost hunter who has turned his passion for the paranormal into a successful business.
Born in Cuba and reared in South Florida, San Martín said that by the time he was 11, he knew he had the "gift" of being able to see the dead. Ten years ago, he left his job as a television producer to start Orlando Ghost Tours.
He and his employees have since introduced thousands of people to a side of the City Beautiful not seen in glossy tourist brochures.
"A lot of people don't realize how haunted the city of Orlando is," San Martín said. "They think a city or a building has to be centuries old to be haunted, but that's not necessarily the case. Haunts can occur anywhere."
Some of the haunted sites San Martín says he has identified downtown include most of the buildings in Church Street Station, the former courthouse at 65 E. Central Blvd. that houses the Orange County Regional History Center and three late-1800s buildings at Pine Street and Magnolia Avenue.
Orlando's Greenwood Cemetery, east of the city center, where many of its settlers are buried, is another hub for paranormal activity, he said.
San Martín and his employees take guests on night-time walking tours of these sites, recounting their history and sharing stories of the ghosts they say inhabit them.
Church Street spirits
On a recent Friday night, a group of locals and tourists met in front of Ceviche restaurant, where Josh Morrison, a tour guide with San Martín's company, told them about the hanged man some say has appeared there.
Built in the late 1800s, the structure was remodeled in the 1970s and turned into Rosie O'Grady's, the Church Street Station's flagship nightclub that closed in 2001. Beams and other woodwork from a demolished New Orleans church were retrofitted as architectural details for the new club, Morrison said; along with them, Morrison told his group, came the ghost of a priest who had hung himself in the chapel.
"This is a phenomenon called 'object haunt,' " San Martín explained later. "It happens a lot with antique pieces."
After tour members took pictures hoping to capture an "orb" -- a luminous, circular form that some believe to be spirits -- they traveled east to Pine and Magnolia, a corner that Morrison said is a center of ghostly sightings.
A woman in white
For instance, he said a woman in white periodically appears on the second floor of the Rogers Building, the green Victorian structure on the northeast corner of the intersection.
Built around 1886, it was once a social club where men drank downstairs as the women played cards and drank tea upstairs, Morrison said. The ghostly figure is thought to be the wife of Gordon Rogers, the building's first owner.
But, according to Orlando Ghost Tours, perhaps no other place in the city is more haunted than the 1920s courthouse building that now houses the history center.
"There are several entities, not just one, that reside there," San Martín said.
At the building , each person on the tour is given an electromagnetic field meter, a palm-sized gadget originally designed to find faulty wiring inside walls. Paranormal investigators use it because they theorize that spirits radiate energy.
The guests were taken first to the third-floor courtroom and then to the jury room, where at least three entities appear to be located, Morrison said.
One of those entities, named Emily, was separated from her parents here, San Martín said, and died shortly after.
As the guests roamed the dark room, 11-year-old Cassandra Smith of Oviedo squealed. While most of the other meters registered nothing, hers lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Is this Emily?" Smith asked as her meter registered a high reading.
"Are your eyes blue?" The meter went cold.
"Are you a boy?" Smith questioned.
Still, her meter remained inactive.
"Do you want to play?"
Suddenly, Smith's meter lights switched off and on several times.
San Martín said Smith's experience -- which is typical whenever there are children present -- lends credibility to his tours.
Especially when "you put different people in the same place night after night, and they have similar experiences." But he welcomes skeptics to join him for a walk.
"If anything," he said, "you'll leave with a greater appreciation for the history of the city."

The Culture Behind Competitiveness
Feb 7, 2013 - Chuck Warner
A common argument for the value of sport in America, and similar societies, is that it helps prepare children to successfully enter the competitive system of capitalism. In fact, the reverse is also true. The culture in a country contributes to the competitiveness of its children and ultimately the success of it's swimmers.
I'm on my third trip in three years to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). My first one opened my eyes to how a country with very different assumptions and expectations for it's youth can steer them away from athletic achievement. My third visit underscores that perception, as well as the observation that cultures in America and other country's, as well as communities and swim clubs, severely discourage or encourage athletic results, as well.
In the oil rich UAE, sheiks run, or perhaps better said, 'own' the country. Dubai, in particular, has become known for it's audacious building construction, for it's business enterprise zones that attract companies from around the world and it's unusual development of man made islands. Engineers have been successful here in drilling into the sand to simultaneously build islands and canals, thereby developing a shoreline to look more and more like the home of the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. They have even built one of the premiere swimming facilities in the world - the 15,000 seat Hamdan Aquatic Center - at a cost of approximately US$350 million.
But the likelihood of a UAE youngster ever earning an athlete's induction into the ISHOF is enormously unlikely because of the country's culture.
UAE national coach, and former USA National team coach Jay Benner told me: "When you live in a country that has the capacity to buy and build whatever they want to, it's hard to accept that you just can't buy success in the sport of swimming. You have to work for it."
I can remember preaching a very similar statement to swimmers while coaching in Fairfield County Connecticut, the richest per capita income area in the United States.
Any culture's expectations and rewards can affect the internal drive of an individual, whether it is to earn a handsome living or to become a successful athlete. In the sport of swimming, for an athlete to climb an objective structure of competition it is necessary to produce a consistent commitment to hard, well-planned work. There are young swimmers in virtually every country capable of winning Olympic medals. But a culture, demanding competitiveness through a capitalistic system can be an advantage to an athlete because of the message to youth that work is honored, failure during a process is never final, and in the long run, you will pretty much get what you've earned and deserve.
The swim organisations and clubs that channel the most successful kids into becoming great swimmers consistently present clear signals about their priorities, values and beliefs. Those that recognise world-class character and world-class performance send a message through their membership that both are supported and achievable within their organization. The first can be attained by all, and the second by those with talent that is applied within an environment that promotes training and competition opportunities, a positive self-image, personal responsibility and, especially, hard work.
The club or organisation that continuously hands out big benefits for small investments suggests that they have low expectations for kids to develop their own process for achievement. An example of such a reward system might be one that hands out huge trophies for winning at the lowest levels or supports extensive travel for beginning swimmers as an incentive for minimal achievement. This kind of culture of "two much, too soon and too easy" discourages youngsters from reaching for their potential as a person and as a swimmer.
Goal attainment or even winning may be the object of the swimmer's motivation, but it is the process that informs him or her in a way that will renovate the quality of their lives. In a country like the UAE you are handed a home and salary for marrying a fellow citizen, a methodology that makes for a content population, but quietly discourages a mentality that builds competitiveness in a person.
A culture that can light the fire in an athlete is one that gradually entices their development with progressive opportunities that reward their instrumental thinking and transforming reflection to achieve their goals.
As a 14-year old, Brian Goodell earned the opportunity to train in the Mission Viejo Senior group. But during the summer he didn't earn an opportunity to join his teammates on a major trip to the Santa Clara International Meet. He didn't get put on a relay, or go swim time trials, to sooth his feelings of loss. He watched the team bus pull away from the pool for the trip and committed himself to never missing out on an opportunity with his teammates like that again.
There are endless similar stories to Brian's about great swimmers that used a temporary disappointment as motivation to dig deeper to develop all of their potential.
Three years later, Brian was a double gold medalist and world record holder at the Montreal Olympics. He also went on to win nine NCAA individual titles in his first three years of college swimming. A large reason for Brian's success was that he grew up in a culture in which excellence was rewarded, with no attempt to manufacture it. In his experience there was plenty of mentoring, goal setting, encouragement and even praise, but there was also accountability for the result of one's actions and effort.
Without thoughtful planning an organisation can become wallowed in a culture in which mediocrity becomes its version of excellence. When children are condemned to such a culture, and are still engaged in the unforgiving, objective, sport of swimming, they will be cheated out of the chance to bear witness to their own greatness and discover the champion that exists within each of them, by swimming to their potential.
But for those who develop and sustain a culture in which competitiveness is encouraged, the future is limitless.

Women and men just aren't the same, particularly when it comes to their health risks. According to everydayhealth.com, the first step to staying healthy is knowing what you're up against, and then taking the necessary precautions to reduce your risk. The good news is that many of the leading threats to women's health, which can vary based on a woman's age and background, are preventable.
Here is one condition to be aware of to maximize your health today:
Influenza and Pneumonia
Combined, pneumonia and influenza account for just under 3 percent of all American female deaths. Influenza, commonly called the flu, is a contagious lung disease caused by a virus, while pneumonia is an infection of the lung, with bacterial pneumonia being the most deadly type. Vaccines may be your best bet to reduce the risk of both conditions. Yearly flu shots can be up to 90 percent effective in preventing influenza in healthy adults, and the pneumococcal vaccine can lower your chances of getting pneumonia by more than half.

Smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes, or use of smokeless tobacco products increases the user's risks of many cancers, including oral cancer.
Use of tobacco products can cause or contribute to a number of oral health conditions:
Solution: Quit smoking or using other tobacco products! Ask your dentist or physician about tobacco cessation programs and/or products.
Numerous other resources exist to help those who want to quit smoking:
The Quitline at 1-800-QUITNOW (784-8669). This is a free program and telephone counseling service to help guide individuals on quitting tobacco use. Guidance and assistance is personalized to each individual.
The risk for oral cancer increases with age. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that more than half of oral cancer patients are 65 years of age or older - and that oral cancer is twice as likely in men as women. Primary risk factors for oral cancer are:
Tobacco use - An estimated 90 percent of oral cancer patients use tobacco. A smoker is six times more likely to develop oral cancer than a non-smoker. Smokeless tobacco users are at 50 times the risk of oral cancers of the cheek, gums and inner surface of the lips.
Alcohol use - Over 75 percent of oral cancer patients drink alcohol more than occasionally. While heavy drinkers are at higher risk for oral cancer, both drinking and smoking can be a deadly combination.
A dentist can often identify early signs of oral cancer or precancerous lesions. The American Dental Association provides the following information about oral cancer:
Other signs of oral cancer can include:
The National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) states that most oral cancer is preventable and encourages making the oral cancer exam a routine part of the regular dental check-up. Like most cancers, early detection is the best cure. To find out if you are at risk for oral cancer, visit the NIDCR page.

Clay Aiken holds slim lead in primary for Congress
The Democratic congressional primary race between former "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken and textile entrepreneur Keith Crisco remained very close and without a clear winner Tuesday night. (May 7) Video provided by AP Newslook
Singer Clay Aiken was clinging to a slim lead early Wednesday in his bid to become a Democratic nominee for Congress in North Carolina.
The former American Idol runner-up was leading former North Carolina Commerce secretary Keith Crisco by 369 votes with more than 99% of the vote counted, according to unofficial returns from the North Carolina Board of Elections. Both candidates were hovering around the 40% mark.
Toni Morris, a licensed professional counselor, was a distant third.
STORY: GOP establishment scores in N.C. Senate primary
"I am very confident that we are going to be victorious," Aiken told his supporters, according to the ABC affiliate in Raleigh, N.C.
The Democrats are hoping to unseat two-term GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers in a conservative district based in the central part of the state and Fayetteville. Republican Mitt Romney easily carried North Carolina's 2nd District in the 2012 presidential election, winning 58% of the vote.
Crisco outspent Aiken in the primary race and pummeled him on the airwaves. In one campaign ad, Crisco criticized Aiken for missing meetings of the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Aiken was appointed to the commission as his recording career was picking up in the wake of his American Idol appearance in 2003, during the reality TV show's second season.
Aiken has stressed his upbringing by a single mother and background as a special education teacher in his campaign.
Ellmers defeated Frank Roche, who criticized her stance on immigration policy, in the GOP primary. The congresswoman is chair of the Republican Women's Policy Committee.

The Mets knew early there was something special about Nolan Ryan, he with the electric arm that threw thunderbolts that sizzled.
On this date in 1968, Ryan established a then club record by striking out 14 Cincinnati Reds. "I threw nothing but fastballs the last two innings,'' said Ryan, then 21.
Ryan pitched in parts of five seasons with the Mets and compiled a non-descript 29-38 record with a respectable 3.43 ERA.
Ryan's stay in New York was interrupted with stints in the National Guard, wildness, and blisters that required soaking his fingers in cups of pickle brine.
Above all Ryan never felt comfortable in New York, and the Mets, weighing all this and in need of a third baseman, dealt him to the Angels prior to the 1972 season.
The Mets were to receive All-Star shortstop Jim Fregosi, who was at the end of his career and would be shifting to third base. The trade sounded good in theory at the time, but a 27-year Hall of Fame career said the Mets clearly lost this deal.
However, the Angels let him get away, too, to Houston and then the Texas Rangers. When it was all over, Ryan had thrown seven no-hitters.

The Mediterranean-style diet has fewer meats and carbohydrates and more plant-based foods and monounsaturated (good) fat than a typical American diet. Many people who live in Italy, Spain, and other countries in the Mediterranean region have eaten this way for centuries.
Following the Mediterranean diet may lead to more stable blood sugars, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and a lower risk of
How to Follow the Diet
The Mediterranean diet is based on:
- Plant-based meals, with just small amounts of meat and chicken, when they are used
- More servings of grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and legumes
- Foods that naturally contain high amounts of fiber
- Plenty of fish and other seafood rather than red meat
- Olive oil, a healthy, monounsaturated fat, as the main source of fat used to flavor and prepare foods
- Food that is prepared and seasoned simply, without sauces and gravies
Foods Not in the Diet
Foods that are eaten in small amounts or NOT at all in the Mediterranean diet include:
- Red meats
- Sweets and other desserts
- Eggs
- Butter
Possible Health Concerns
Possible health concerns with the Mediterranean include:
- Weight gain, from the fats in olive oil and nuts.
- Reduced iron levels. If you choose to follow the Mediterranean diet, be sure to eat some foods rich in iron or in vitamin C, which helps your body absorb iron.
- Calcium loss from eating fewer dairy products. Ask your doctor if you should take a calcium supplement.
- It is common to drink wine with meals, though it is not an essential part of the Mediterranean diet. Avoid wine if you are prone to alcohol abuse, pregnant, at risk for breast cancer, or have other conditions that alcohol could make worse.

Eric Isaacs named director of Argonne National Laboratory
|(Nanowerk News) Eric D. Isaacs, a prominent University of Chicago physicist and senior administrator at the U.S. Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory, has been selected to become the next director of Argonne. The appointment will be effective May 1, 2009.
|University of Chicago President Robert J. Zimmer made the announcement in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors of UChicago Argonne LLC, which operates Argonne for the Department of Energy. The university has managed Argonne for the United States government since 1946. Energy Secretary Steven Chu met yesterday with Isaacs and Zimmer in his office in Washington, D.C., and supported Isaacs candidacy.
|Dr. Isaacs scientific expertise, leadership ability and strategic perspective on Argonnes future will serve him well in his new role. This is an excellent choice for the laboratory, for DOE and for the nation, said Secretary Chu.
|Isaacs selection was made following a national search for a replacement for current Argonne Director Robert Rosner, who previously indicated that he planned to step down at the end of his current term. Rosner will return to his duties as the William E. Wrather Distinguished Service Professor in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago.
|Isaacs currently serves as Argonnes deputy laboratory director for programs, with responsibility for leading the laboratorys strategic planning process and overseeing the laboratory-directed research and development program as well as its educational programs. Prior to that, he was director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne.
|Argonne is an extraordinary national resource for advancing understanding of fundamental science and how that science leads to innovation in addressing pressing national issues of our time, Zimmer said. Erics experience and record of achievement, as a scientist, as director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials and as the leader of strategic planning at Argonne, demonstrate that he has a compelling vision for the Laboratory and the leadership skills to realize it. He understands Argonnes important role in the DOE national laboratory system and the importance of the laboratorys connection to the University of Chicago and our partner universities. We look forward to working with Eric and supporting him in his important work.
|Since assuming responsibility for strategic planning in May 2008, Isaacs has led a comprehensive review of the laboratorys mission and identified future opportunities for growth in capabilities and funding. In his new role he will guide implementation of the strategic plan, leading Argonne in strengthening science research and development efforts that underlie key national imperatives: energy security, environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness and national security.
|In addition to his roles as deputy laboratory director of programs and director of Argonnes Center for Nanoscale Materials, Isaacs is a professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Physics and in the James Franck Institute.
|I am deeply honored to be chosen to lead one of the top scientific research facilities in the world, Isaacs said. This is a unique and promising time in Argonnes 62-year history. Argonne has embarked on a new path, in effect re-inventing and re-invigorating itself, and positioning the laboratory to be a leader in solving the grand scientific and engineering challenges of our time. I am particularly excited to lead Argonne in developing transformational energy research and technologies.
|In 1988 Isaacs received a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the field of magnetic semiconductors and was a postdoctoral fellow at Bell Laboratories, studying magnetism and correlated electronic systems, mostly with synchrotron-based X-ray techniques. He worked at Bell Laboratories for 13 years as a member of the technical staff, director of the Materials Physics Research Department and director of the Semiconductor Physics Department.
|He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and has served on a number of national scientific advisory committees, including the Department of Energys Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee.

Fighting Poverty In Times of Crisis
During a WSJ Big Interview, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim discusses the challenges of helping the poorest countries when the richest are struggling.

the ... I ... for ... having actually had extensive ... experience working with Harper's populations in the developing world ... you have enthusiastically embrace the World Bank's mission the slogan our green is a world free of poverty the point we are ... no longer even though you are really green ties to the Dartmouth tied to World Bank I if you look ... very closely the fine print he said ... secondly it has since the entire hand stitched in ... that slogan or dream is a world free of property ... I wanna talk about then make sure we get plenty of time to talk about positions today ... but ... isn't sure you know ... I'm on for Chile poverty is not happen global economic agenda that these days on ... a tear to get attention let alone resources ... for the promise of the developing world at a time when ... the developed world ... is having seen incomes of its own so what's there they're network are wary that to some the other class of World Bank issues ... tell us how you view the global economy right now how bad is it what are the risks of another recession ... when you know we're ... all watching this very carefully in that we've been participating ... in a lot of your analysis and there's no question all the expectations of growth that can scale back ... and this is a huge concern and that the World Bank especially because we're ... watching especially how the impact of ... the slowdown in global growth the the recession and the events that ... date back to two thousandeight ... we're especially looking at how the impact on the pool ... now ... one of the one of the ... good news story says that over the last five to ten years ... a lot of the global growth has been happening in developing countries in Africa ... has enjoyed a five percent growth rate ... in America ... has high growth rates and they've also rebounded fairly quickly ... it's not even dream of recovery there there's some kind of countries and rebounded ... more quickly ... but the recovery after two thousand a crisis was was is very strong ... so ... our major concern is to ensure that all the gains that we've seen ... from the growth of the last five to ten years are not wiped out ... by the crisis ... were watching very carefully we're ... trying to make the point ... that I'm focusing on poverty in these times ... is not a question of smoke were busy why he wants to focus on charity ... we don't see this charity we received the ... investment ... in both the inputs things like health education social protection programs ... and also focusing specifically on how to make the private sector ... more of ... a ... more dynamic and more inviting of investment and even in developing countries we think of those two tasks ... are the same for everyone everyone's got to look at the public expenditures to say ... these are the things that are really helping people ... these are the things that are ... providing the foundation for growth especially the private sector ... and they've gotta look hard at the rules and regulations in the private sector we ... have done extensive work on how ... countries can make ... their private sectors more welcoming of investment ... that is a task for everyone can and investments ... in the developing country are really investments we think ... in future growth ... will take you to view it will will get back to that ... they begin focusing in Europe as you say that emerging economies have grown ... incredibly well is we seen in Asia ... and China which has been an engine of growth is now really slowing down soon if only because of Europe's problems so ... I'm you did FactSet at one point that is aam extreme east emergency European countries take ... all necessary measures to ensure stability ... you think they're doing their rate now is your opinion of what a lot of things are really encouraging ... I think the ... emergence of the Sam the the discussions that are happening I think they're a lot of encouraging signs ... I think we're on the right track it's slower than any of us would like but it strikes me that to ... that and they are there been actions taken recently and ... have improved the stability ... now the ... task of getting back on the onthe on the track of your growth ... he goes back to a nice and earlier every ... country to look into public expenditures and they look of the business environment ... and um ... if if ... if all the countries will ... focus on those two issues and instead focus on this two issues in a way ... that will bring about change ... I think we can get back ... to grow ... when you get to appoint the you raised earlier ... um we choose you see that the dangers to progress ... in unity you trade if you became president uninstall the Brookings Institution and ... any number of interest income is one ... I think you you you made a point of ... noting in a quote that the last decade has been very good for many developing countries ... I went on to say that this ticket achievement definitely inspires optimism for the next phase of our development work ... a couple questions I wanted ask about their one is ... how can you really be optimistic for next days when ... he has some uncertainty about global growth and ... just to talk a little bit more about the shire's which is what are the dangers to not only losing the gains that you've seen in the developing world over the last five or ten years ... and possibly wiping off the map ... so on on the issue of optimism I would consume the most difficult setting to work in prisons in Siberia work and ... squatter settlements and crew ... have worked in rural Haiti ... and built one of the things you've learned ... to win your development worker ... is if you have access to resources ... if you're coming in from the situation of relative power in going into ... the settings like the ones that walk into ... if you walk into the settings with pessimism and cynicism ... fastest deadly for Port people ... these kinds of situations when you're in a position of how when you do have resources ... I really believe that optimism is a moral choice ... you've got to ... fundamentally believe that good things can happen I'm very fortunate because I've seen good things happen ... I've seen incredible things happen like ... the scaling up of HIV in Africa ... so many really smart people so that that was impossible ... I've seen as build a ... treatment for cancer drug resistant tuberculosis in prisons of Siberia ... again everyone so that was not possible ... and the stories of ... many of them ... are here today ... um you the stories that you hear ... just give you confidence in the other sound source of my optimism ... isthe was born in Korea indeed in Korea in a country ... that when I was born ... almost all development specialists agree that was corn put a basket case ... there's no way they said victory could develop ... development is related to how much of Western influence you have ... Korea is admired in Confucian ideology this is no way that it's can grow ... and then some twenty years later they turned around and see you know the secret to Korean's groups ... with Confucianism and ... so ... you have to be careful ... I think I think there is um ... I hope that the lesson ... is that we should never be so immodest ever again ... to to to to say the country's a basket case I think there's hope ... for every country ... I feel that that might drop when we're not can it be when I can be excited about the ... the global economy will you know we're very honest about our projections for growth ... but in my experience has taught me that optimism want it ... to perhaps a Confucian Greece would be the least ... well it was nice to know what what's the danger came in the index like that ... so ... I was just a cookie for ... him in court to block ... um they're just coming out of the war in immigrate prison prison Alaska was a former deputy managing director the IMF this is a man who understands the global economy ... but in call people out ... there the very specific example ... of that that I found extremely compelling ... was I went to job training program in one gentleman got up to the common and former Mexican ... and if so ... um no this is been great for me I'm learning to be an electrician ... of my brothers and sisters and my friends don't have access to not be ... the next ten years of conflict they can pick up the tent again ... so ... um if if we allow ... the overall backsliding this is can appeal instability into the world ... and fragile states conflict affected states these are not good for anyone ... and we have to commit ourselves ... not only to continuing had been helping codpiece to continue on the path to growth ... we gotta do something about the special court the defect in states ... that the ability to deal with those presumably as you say you know the you try to treat an August readout but ... does have to begin with is only restore global growth ... at some level of sustainability in order to be able to ... channel resources development Act prisoner is what what you wanted things that we've been very encouraged by his that down ... you know couple years ago were going through ... an assessment of our capital needs and ... going through a replenished and a bar ... of IDR loan on its concessional a wonderful of course countries ... even in the midst of ... the great economic ... crisis ... um you don't countries are very generous and even today you see countries like United Kingdom ... um Mr Cameron's party has made a firm commitment to increasing ... their ... official development assistance that South Koreans ... are increasing the official development assistance ... and in my own view is that this is based on an understanding ... that despite the difficult times ... investing in the growth of developing countries is a critical

Bushnell Elite 3200 w/o Illum. Reticle
Cabela's Alpha
Leupold CQT
The New SwitchView™ by Warne Scope Mounts enables quick and easy adjustment of a scope's power setting with a simple push or pull of the lever. Simply clamp it around the zoom ring of a variable power scope, and the extended arm gives the proper leverage to turn a stiff power selector ring, or to rapidly move from high to low power and vice versa.
- Accessory for variable power scopes, enables quick and easy adjustment without moving from your shooting position
- CNC machined from 6061/T6 aluminum and anodized black for lightweight durability.
- Perfect for shooters that need to adjust the scope power ring on the fly or in extreme environments where adjustment is difficult, such as hunting while wearing gloves, cold or damp conditions.
- Available to fit most popular scope models.
- Proudly made in the USA!
Installation Instructions Always verify that your firearm is UN-LOADED before performing any service on it.
- Mount firearm or riflescope in clamping device - installing the Switchview™ will require the use of both hands.
- Find the center of travel on the scope's magnification ring and place a small mark at the center point as reference when positioning.
- Apply one drop of lubricant to the ball or socket of the Switchview™ and assemble the two parts. Due to close manufacturing tolerances and variances in anodizing thickness, it may be necessary to GENTLY "work" the fitting of the two parts to lubricate the joint.
- Slide the Switchview™ over the eyepiece and onto the magnification ring. NOTE: The ball/socket must be disconneted in order to install the Switchview™ on scopes with an illumination adjustment knob.
- Align the Switchview™ lever with your previously marked center reference point. Insert the allen screw and tighten to 2.2 in/lbs with supplied wrench. Tighten the screw only to the point at which the Switchview™ is SNUG on the scope and does not slip when rotated. NOTE: When properly installed, a gap will remain between the two parts at the screw connection.
- Test to ensure the Switchview™ is in the best position for your preference. To adjust its position, simply loosen the screw and re-position the Switchview™ to a more comfortable position. Then re-tighten the screw and test new position. Do not over tighten.

I don't know how a song can be so great and so horrible at the same time.
Great because it's a good song by a very talented singer.
Horrible because I'm living almost every word, and I cry every time I hear it!
This song is so great. I can totally relate. My girl has a hard decision to make atm. her ex is trying to get back with her, and we have barely even began. There was no closure to their relationship and she's not sure to go back with him or to be with me. If she gets back with him, this song will mean more than anything else in the world, cuz it wuld make so much sense. I love her more than I have ever loved any1. Never fallen this hard this fast and I kno she knows that.
How in the world can people not like this song?? It should be a classic
Hell what living breathing man from the country can't relate to this song…. fall in love with a southern belle from the appalachian mountain foothills, and let her break your heart and then listen to this song….. it will go from the truth to tear in my beer brothers!

Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:

- Square Feet:

- Rent
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- My kitchen is very bright hence it feels spacious even though it is not very big. It has a lot of storage space without looking like a part of a warehouse.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- We live in a rental townhouse and like most rentals the wall and cabinet colors were very safely chosen (in our case all white) I wanted to break the boring hospital lab look with a high contrast art piece which would constitute a focal point. I found a very urban marimekko fabric and used it as a wall paper. But the garbage can needed to go in front of this fabric wall (there was no other space). To protect the fabric I found a heavy duty film and attached it over the fabric. Everyone who visits our kitchen thinks that it is a part of the kitchen. I am lucky that I was able to find good materials and tools to apply it and very proud of the professional look!
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Mushroom truffle risotto of course!

Drive - Drill - Navigate - Analyze
The Lunar Rover Initiative is developing Scarab to evaluate and demonstrate a combined drilling and science rover platform for lunar exploration. Scarab needs to be able to withstand extreme temperatures, perpetual darkness, and intermittent communications to explore polar regions of the moon in order to survey sites and understand resources for future science and exploratory missions. Working for nearly a decade to develop feasible mission concepts and validate technologies in extreme environments here on Earth, we are experienced, skilled, and dedicated to the vision of lunar exploration.
The polar craters of the moon lie in permanent shadow and may hold water ice frozen in the deep cold. The Scarab rover has been designed to carry a 1-meter coring drill and a payload of science instruments that can analyze the abundance of hydrogen, oxygen and other materials. Scarab has a unique transforming chassis that allows it to lay down on the ground to stablize a drill and also to posture itself for slope ascent and descent. Onboard software controls motions and uses laser scanning technologies to autonomously perceive and navigate terrain in total darkness.

When I talked to Graham Norton in December, his "scrappy mixed terrier thing" kept interrupting by attacking her loudest toy. Her name, he said, is Madge, which led me to ask if she's named after Madonna.
"Well yes, but I didn't do it! I don't want to lose my booking over this," he said, referring to finally landing his dream guest on his British chat show, "The Graham Norton Show."
He needn't have worried. Madonna showed up Wednesday to tape the episode, which will air at a special time, 9:45 p.m., this Saturday on BBC America. In December, Norton was beyond thrilled the Material Girl would be on the show, but concerned.
"It's such a big deal for us," he said. "I've bleeted on about wanting her for 12, 14 years or something, so it's finally happening. And listen, this is as close as we have ever got, but I won't believe until it's taped and broadcast."
Madonna appears on the show with actors James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough, the stars of the movie she directed, "W./E." She talks a bit about Lady Gaga with Norton, and even brings up the canine Madge. Watch below.
It isn't the first time Norton has talked to the non-canine Madge. "I met her really, really briefly and I had my picture taken with her and that's my Facebook picture," he said, laughing. "Me and Madonna, we look marvelous."
Now about his noisy dog Madge: How did she get her name? "At the rescue center they called her Madonna," Norton told me. "I can't have a dog called Madonna unless I change my other dog's name to Elton or something, so I just shortened it to Madge and it really suits her."
Norton and I talked more about his talk show, American guests and how he got to where he is today. I also played a little game of "Would You Rather?" with him, which you can find in this earlier post.
A lot of my friends say "TGNS" is their favorite talk show.
That's very nice of you.
I do have friends with good taste.
Yes, I'm going to go yes.
Because I think so too. I love watching your show. It's fun.
Thank you very much. Yeah, it's kind of extraordinary people [from outside Britain see it] because we just make it here and then we just send it away. So it's kind of amazing that we get all this nice feedback from around the world. It's really nice.
Do you consider the American audience at all when you're putting it together?
We do a bit in that we normally try to have one or two people on the show that you might have heard of. But our priority is always going to be the British market because BBC One pays for it, so we've got to keep them happy. So occasionally we'll get a big guest and we'll know in America no one will have a clue who it is, but they're such a big domestic star we've got to take them. In a way I think that is what American audiences sometimes like about it, the foreigness of it, sometimes you don't know who they are.
I think you've introduced me to a lot of comics I didn't know.
Yeah, the comics you always wouldn't know who they were. Have you seen when we've had Fern Millican on our show? … She is my favorite new comedian. I just adore her. She is really funny, really, really funny, yeah.
When I was doing research I saw in an interview you said you didn't think you were a good interviewer. I would disagree with that.
Well, that's very nice of you to say. I do sometimes think at the end of a show, "What have we learned? Nothing." [Laughs.] Hopefully we've had a good time. But I always kind of think why would anybody tell me anything because people are so good at being interviewed now, particularly stars that are so kind of "on message."
So there's no real point asking them those big, burning questions you want to know the answers to because they're not going to answer them. It just makes them a bit tense and a bit uncomfortable and I think you end up looking sort of unfriendly. You end up looking kind of confrontational as the host if you're asking questions people don't want to answer. Unless I don't care about the guest. [Laughs.] I'll ask them whatever, but mostly I do like the people, so you don't want to upset them. You want them to come back—you know what this is like—you want the PR [people] to give you others, so you have to kind of think of the long term I think when you're doing interviews.
Well it's not a news show. It's not like you're trying to do this hard hitting news program.
No, exactly. That is what I think, but you know people—
I don't expect that. That's not what I tune in for anyway.
Yeah, well, you sound like an intelligent viewer. Some people are still surprised when I don't ask somebody about a death in their family or a divorce, you know what I mean? All that kind of stuff. Well no, that is just not going to happen. Sometimes people bring those things up themselves in which case great, off you go love, but I'm not going to do it.
Right, but I think you—[sound os squeak toy interrupts.]
I apologize for that noise. One of my dogs sees I'm on the phone and thinks, "I will get attention come hell or high water!" She's found her one noisy toy.
I think part of having a good conversation is it leads to a lot of revelations. I mean you dig a little and brings up fun things maybe from their pasts, which I always enjoy.
But also I think what is good is that they're on with each other at the same time and they're reacting to other people's stories. My favorite bit is when somebody tells a story which is in the research notes and I've prompted, but then that triggers a story in someone else and they'll go, "Well when I was a kid blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," and you're like, "We didn't know that. What a good story."
You provide a totally relaxed atmosphere as well, which helps.
It is quite relaxing. I think it does take the pressure off of them because they're not by themselves. Even Tom Hanks said that when he came on. He said it's kind of you don't feel lonely up there because there is other people to play with.
And on no American talk show have I ever seen, let's see, Glenn Close kick her shoes off or Cameron Diaz drink sock water.
That was weird. Why she did that? She's game.
I think that's fun and that helps you learn more about individuals.
Well seeing how people react to stuff I think is very illuminating. Glenn Close, I just think she is fabulous. I like Cameron Diaz too, but Glenn Close because she is such a kind of serious actress you sort of expect her to be a serious person, but in fact she loves life. She is great.
The Bear Grylls-Cam Diaz episode was one of my favorites I think just because it's so bizarre.
It was very odd. I love Bear Grylls just flirting so much with Cameron Diaz. He got Kathy Griffin's name wrong. He was not interested in her at all.
It was funny because she kept butting in with a joke and it just wasn't working. Speaking of that, have you ever had any challenging guests that it was hard to get them to do or say anything?
You do. I think in the end you do get challenging guests, but they're not challenging guests in a way in that why would anybody—it's nobody's job to be a good chat show host. Wait, that's my job. [Laughs.] It's nobody's job to be a good chat show guest. These are actors, musicians, whatever. The days of Peter Ustinov and David Niven and these kind of professional chat show guests are gone.
So if you get somebody who is good on the couch that is just a bonus and if they're not I don't judge them. I sort of feel sorry for them in a way because nowadays you have to get out there and sell. You've got to do all the junkets and if you don't enjoy that it must be horrible. It's sort of worth thinking about whether or not you want to be an actor because you've got to do so much of it, but equally I don't judge them if they're bad on the couch.
When you put the show together do you think about guests together or does it just happen?
That actually is kind of the most production that goes into the show really is putting the people together on the couch and thinking who will work with whom. Sometimes if we get a big star or an American actor and we've have already booked a comedian we might move that comedian because you're going to think, "Well they might not gel," or that kind of thing. Or if you've got two ugly people you try to book a pretty person. [Laughs.]
I won't to ask you to give me an example of the show where you did that.
[Laughs. It's clear. It's very obvious. [Laughs.] It's very, very obvious.
Have you ever thought about putting stars in the red chair?
Occasionally stars have volunteered to go in the red chair, but I think that's—well sometimes it's tempting to put a star in the red chair, to have a lever on the couch—but that's kind of the chance for the audience to shine or not [laughs], so we leave it to them.
I do like how you engage with the audience and mock them, which I think is fun.
Well, the audience likes it too. Also I'm not picking on them in that they have volunteered for this. It's not like I've hijacked them in the audience. They've stood up and said, "OK I want you to talk to me."
What I always say is "We tease because we love."
Exactly. Well, I try not to be mean to people in the chair so I hope it doesn't come across as mean.
Doing the flip too soon is kind of mean, but that's cool.
Well they really know that that is happening. Cccasionally yes, I will be horrible and I'll flip them before they speak or something. Yeah, that is mean. [Laughs.]
Do you think that the American celebrities you have on understand sort of the format of the show very well or do you have to explain it to them ahead of time?
I think now we've been around for long enough and a lot of the stars have been on before, so they do understand it. You just have to kind of I suppose the thing that surprises them is that they don't just get their little eight minutes and then shuffle off. They are there for the duration and I guess some people prefer the American style chat show where you're in, you're out. I think most people like ours because there is no pressure. If you're walking out and you're doing a live eight minutes because they don't really edit the American chat shows you better be good in it. Whereas on ours if you don't say something hilarious or that interesting to begin with there is time. There is always time and even if you don't say anything we'll still show the clip of movie and hopefully somebody else will have said something funny. So my hope would be that they have a good time on the sofa whatever happens.
I just always wonder if it's odd for them because of that. "What do I mean I have to share the stage with three other people?"
Sometimes that is kind of a weird pill for them to swallow, but I still make a fuss of them. You know what I mean? So it's not like I'm making them less of a star. I think the audience's response reassures them. When they come out they get that almighty roar from the crowd, so that kind of makes them feel good about themselves.
And do you chat with them beforehand or do you wait until onstage?
There is no fixed rule about that. Sometimes I say hi to them. Sometimes I don't. It all depends whether they're running late, I'm running late, what's going on and I don't really have a—I don't care [laughs]. I'm quite happy to talk to them beforehand. It's really better if I do talk to them beforehand just so that's some of the chat out of the way.
Tell me about growing up. What got you interested in doing this acting, comedian stuff?
It's that thing just growing up being a bit of a show off, thinking I wanted to be an actor because that's the most obvious outlet for someone who can't sing or play a musical instrument or essentially do anything. So you kind of think, "Well anyone can do that." So I went off and got into drama school and everything, but then nothing really happened. I still wanted to show off, so drifted into stand up and then I got really lucky and got the show.
Sort of more miraculous than getting the show was the show worked and so we've been going now for a long time and yeah, I'm really still enjoying it. And the team at the beginning of every series kind of looks at each other and kind of like, "Isn't this weird that we're here and we're looking forward to this series and we sort of like doing this?" Because if someone had told me 14 years ago, "You will be doing this job in 14 years and liking it," I would have been amazed.
And you still get time to do these other things too, which must be nice for you.
Yeah, bit and bobs. I do the chat show for a lot of the year, but the summers are sort of off. I get about three, four months off in the summer.
Like "Would you Rather?"
Yes, I'm doing "Would you Rather," but that we cram that into sort of two weeks in the summer in New York and it was sort of like a holiday job. It's like picking grapes, but it's very fun, so it's fun to do.
Does it surprise you some of the questions?
I love the questions. I mean the game is as old as time. People have played that in pubs forever, but the guys who actually put together are two British guys and so we have the show here and then BBC America came to us and said look we really want to do a panel game, so we said well we've got this one and they took it. So we might make a little version here. I don't know.
I want to talk about your influences a little bit. I read that when you were growing up you watched Lucille Ball.
Because I grew up in Ireland we got loads of American TV, so in a way I was kind of much more drawn to America than Britain, but Britain was closer and kind of culturally we are much closer, so that is probably why I ended up here. I loved American television quite a lot, Lucille Ball and I used to watch Dick Cavett and Flip Wilson. I used to watch Flip Wilson. We got kind of really random shows, so we'd get kind of like newish things like "Charlie's Angels," but at the same time like Irish TV would save up money to buy a show like "Charlie's Angels" as part of a package would take all the back series of "That Girl," so we'd be watching that at the same time. So we got a very kind of odd vision of America. Some of it was kind of sexy and modern, but some of it was kind of trapped in the '60s.
Did that physical comedy and kind of the nutty and crazy feel of those shows influence your style of comedy?
You know what, who knows? Who knows? I can't trace what I find funny back to anything. There were some things that I'd find funny that I would never attempt or they're not my style if you know what I mean. I think you just find your own way. In a way that has as much to do with who your audience is as to do with who you are. So you know if I was putting stuff together when I worked in restaurants to make the other people in the restaurant laugh I would go for the lowest common denominator, whereas if I just kind of found my comedy voice at university then I guess it would be a very different comedy voice. I think in the end it's very hard to say where stuff comes from.
Has being gay been a help or a hindrance in your career?
I don't know in that I'm gay, so I think if it has been a hindrance then I don't care because you don't want the jobs you didn't get because you're gay. Who would want to work with those people? And so and my career has gone a hell of a lot better than I ever thought it would, so whether that is down to being gay or not I don't know, but I'm not complaining. I don't feel like I've been held back at any point.
I read that you also lived in a commune in San Francisco.
I did for a year. I really enjoyed it because it was kind of it was a formative year of my life. I was 20 and they were lovely. The hippies were really, really sweet and kind of very encouraging and very kind of positive in that American way. I came from Ireland, which was a real kind of "you can't" sort of atmosphere to grow up in, whereas the hippies were very kind of "can do" and "follow your dreams" and all of that. So yeah, they kind of saved me. They were great.
That was after you quit university, but did your parents know?
I kind of I knew I was going to America to stay for awhile. They didn't know that. Of course by the time I got back just because I knew I wasn't going to like university. It didn't even cross my mind, but I never told them and of course I hadn't got a student grant or anything, so they had been paying for the university, so they were less than impressed that I wasn't going back.
Last question, would you rather interview people or be interviewed?
This is not having to do with you, but I would always prefer to interview people. Yeah, I never feel good enough in an interview. You know what I mean? Because I always kind of think surely there must be someone more interesting to talk to than me, so I always feel a bit lacking in an interview situation.
