Odd laptop battery problem
Have a laptop here (not with 7 though) that I have cleaned up as it has IE6 and XP SP2 only on it and in a terrible state.
Now there are three problems the worst by far is that I cannot get the machine to shut down with the battery in - out and it has not problems.
Secondly it has a terribly pop up on boot that keeps telling me to install the 2002 Office disk before it can do the updates!!
Thirdly the machine on idle keeps running the cooling fan up to max and then down again. I have checked with Core Temp and it reads 50C so I don't think it is a heat problem.
So anyone got any thoughts on these please?

First, the battery is toast. Gotta replace it.
Second (WAG): Automatic Updates is enabled in Windows and Microsoft Updates is too. Updates for MS Office were downloaded and ready to install on reboot. But the Office installation files were removed from the hard drive so the installation disk is required to complete the changes.
If you can do a System Restore to before the updates were downloaded that would get you out of the loop, but I bet that date has long passed.
Third: I bet this relates to #1.

Unless there are very compelling reasons to keep the current installation, I'd DBAN it (erasing the MBR as well) and reinstall XP.
On most oldish used machines that I buy for cheap, it's the fastest (and maybe only) way to bring them back into working conditions. If it still has IE6 I'm ready to bet it's filled of virus and assorted nasties.
As for the fan, check bios settings as sometimes there are odd settings.

hum well TV she is planning to get a new desktop and can manage without a battery I guess for a while and yes it was a VERY old install.
Bob mate the owner doesn't have a disk I think this was bought back in 2006 or even before.
Never mind at least I know what the problems are now and relieved it is not something I have done not that I thought I had but.....
Oh thanks for the time and patience and a happy Christmas to you both

ah, the lack of the activation code is a good reason. Most of the used stuff I have comes from businness and thus has the sticker with the code somewhere on it. It's weird for a laptop to not have it.
I used the same XP Professional install disk (actually a DVD and then a usb pendrive with slipstreamed stuff on top of an XP installation I ripped off the CD I bought) for every machine I reinstalled xp on, just entering a different activation code at install (which was on each machine's sticker, and they all had XP professional codes as they were used company stuff).

Yes Bob I have a spare XP disk here but for the length of time she will be using it plus all that download as it is one of three I bought from a company that had gone over to 7 and had a heap of spare CD's to get rid of.
Trouble is they were bare bones OS's and would need huge amounts of updates all the SP's for example so really a last resort for a decent machine I have a couple of spare working XP desktops here but for the time left for support is it worth setting her up?
I think she is better off letting me set up the new desky for her.

Which is why I used slipstreamed DVD/USB drives, to have updates and whatnot already there.
I don't know if it is worth fixing it, depends from what she is using the PC for. For very light use (internet and office-like programs) I managed to revive tons of old machines with Linux Puppy or Ubuntu or even Chromium OS where I installed Chrome and Openoffice (linux versions anyway) and saved the guy the money for a new machine. (asked a nominal fee for setup tasks only).
They are much safer as 99% of the virus you find on the net can't harm Linux and thus don't need antivirus.
Most boot and run like Win7 with an SSD even if they have outdated hardware (although OpenOffice is a bit heavy, sometimes I had to use Abiword as word processor and GnuCalc as excel-like program if the ram was really low, like 512mb).
For simple tasks and no real games (as the machine won't handle them anyway) the difference between Windows and linux is short. Plus they are cool to look at (standard or wary Puppy not that much, but there are some flavors of it with modern looks, like MacPup <-- look at the video).

Agree with above, Complete Re-formatt and fresh install. DBAN or something similar would make sure all data has erased but does take a VERY long time to run.. There are other quicker alternatives to DBAN such as Killdisk and diskwipe.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) - Two Jim Mueller Blugold Spirit Awards were presented at the UW-Eau Claire Blugold Hall of Fame banquet Saturday.
This year's award, in its second year of existence, was presented to Bill Arnsdorf, the official men's basketball scorekeeper for 47 years, and Milt and Marci Siker, active and generous friends of the program.
The award was established to recognize someone outside of the athletics program who has made contributions to the program for a long period of time. The first recipient, after whom the award is now named, was Jim "Curly" Mueller, a tireless volunteer for Blugold athletics since his retirement from the university as a locksmith in 1996.
The Sikers became involved with the women's basketball program through the congeniality of former coach Lisa Stone who befriended the local business family during the Blugolds' post-game gatherings on the Zorn playing court. For nearly two decades, they have provided post-game treats for the team as well as travel care packages for road games. They were similarly involved with the softball team for many years. Health issues have forced the pair to curtail their activities to a degree in recent years.
Bill Arnsdorf witnessed the ups and the downs of Blugold basketball the past 47 years as the official scorekeeper during which time the team fashioned a 897-388 record. He was recruited by Bill Zorn for the final four seasons of his 40-year career; then was on hand for the 27-year career of Ken Anderson and the 16-year career of Terry Gibbons. He was witness to some outstanding players that appeared in Zorn and went on to careers in the NBA. He was there for the big rival games that developed over the years, not only in the conference, but in the playoffs as well such as the EC-Parkside District 14 contests. He saw the packed crowds, the last-second shots. He dealt with coaches who were or became famous after their appearances as well as referees who advanced to higher levels. Arnsdorf also saw a lot as a member of the chain gang at Blugold football games for 27 years. At one time he helped promote the Blugolds through souvenir items sold in the university bookstore which he managed for many years.

Julie's Faith Walk
The Magician's Hands
I once met a man who was a magician. He said he could not divulge the secrets of his trade, but he would tell me this: he said, "Look at the other hand." He explained that a magician will lead your eye to see what he wants you to see. If you decide not to follow his cues, however, and observe the other hand, you will discover there really isn't any magic, only a sleight of hand. The magic tricks will suddenly make sense. If you watch the hand he wants you to see, you can observe his tricks again and again, but you will never be able to figure them out and they will continue to confound you.
It is like that with people. If you look at the part of them they want you to see, you will be forever confounded. Behaviors, actions, responses all are simply confusing, irrational, nonsensical. You run through interactions with them again and again, remembering every detail, but comprehension is not forthcoming. You watch people's lives, you observe their habits, patterns, rituals. You hear what they tell you, you see them maintain their illnesses. It doesn't make sense. If people really wanted health, wealth and the pursuit of happiness, does what they are doing make sense? You can see it in your own life too. Ever connect the dots at the end of the day and say, "Whoa, why did I jump down the throat of the only person who really loves me?"
As with the magician's hands, our two sides are represented by the part which confuses (the ego) and that part which illuminates (the spirit). Unfortunately, we spend most of our time watching the shiny, flashy, charismatic part which only leaves us feeling confounded. Whereas the spirit self, which is the side of us that knows the ego's tricks, is often less looked at. Just as with the magician, the ego has a reason for not wanting you to see the spirit self. If you really saw the other hand, you would understand there really wasn't anything but a big trick going on. And very shortly the ego would be out of a job.
Imagine that everyone has a Spirit Self, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the one who confounds you. Imagine with your mind's eye that they are brilliantly radiant, exuding warmth and love. All that is visible now is their radiant, authentic, joyful and peaceful self. They feel whole, contented and satisfied. This is the authentic self of the one you observe. Suddenly, all the dysfunctions and labels they may have attached to themselves are far off in the distance. Simply by observing this Spirit Self, you have empowered them, and you have disempowered their illusion. Every time you choose to see behind the trick, you give validity to their authentic self. And every time you connect with an authentic self, you are validating your own authentic spirit self too!

Look at me, I am beautiful, who could need more then me?
My life with my family began fabulously. I was spoiled cat, eating expensive food, excreting in lovely scented litter box that was cleaned daily, if not more. My holidays were spent eating top of the line canned cat food, and a stocking stuffed with cat treats and cat toys. I was groomed regularly and showered with love. When they went on vacations people stayed with me in our home, not just stopped by to feed me. This was a cat's dream, and I knew it. I loved my owners, oh how wonderful my life was. They didn't even tease me about my weight problem.
First rugrat came around. I was curious about this creature, but was still so very adored. My female owner even fretted about how I would adjust to Kendall. Obsurd, I know. During late nights with Kendall I would come and sit at her feet as she cried in complete exhaustion. My intentions of course to show her, that see, you had to go and birth a child, look how simple I am.
Then came the next rugrat, and in my opinion a little bit too fast for my liking. Things started to get a little hairy around here. I was shooed off of beds and my owners would actually say late in the day, 'oh sorry Lil' we forgot to feed you today!!' Forgot to feed me. As those children sucked in milk to their belly's delight, it was abuse, I get fed first thing, before anyone even has a chance to pee, you feed me. I could not believe what was happening. One night I was found in the baby's crib and the owner came in yelling and screaming, and tossed me out. How dare she? Here I was trying to help out. So I am a little large, I would never smother the thing.
Then these human offspring began to move around, got in my food, and started fussing with my tail, and pulling my hair. I would swat at at them, and then I would get yelled at and my nose swatted. What in the world is that all about?!?! I don't even have front claws, now you take away my dignity too?
Things started to settle as these little humans grew. The boy chases me quite often around the house growling and screaming, like he is some beast, and now he is the one getting scolded. I started to get some ground back. Sure now when they go away, I either get two bowls of food or they send the old lady over to feed me every few days. All she wants to do is pet me and squeeze me onto her lap. Not into it, lady. So I attack her as soon as she cracks the door open. Sure she yells, and my owner tells me I am going to cause her a heart attack. But would you want to be squeezed and petted, and told, 'oh you're such a nice kitty, now you sit here on my lap, you be a lap cat' over and over again!?!? And the litter box, ok don't even get me started. I have a mountain in there and it stinks to the high heavens before they are like, 'oh Lily, that just stinks.' Yeah, well have no plausible thumbs, what do you want me to do about it, fools. The door to the basement gets shut after playtime, and if I am dozing and don't notice it happening, I get shut down there too. The only way they know I am down there is when I hear them I stick my paw under the crack in the bottom of the door and move it back and forth, and then bang on the door for a few minutes. They feel bad when they open it, real bad, I sulk for like 3 hours, nothing like a good guilt trip, they deserve it.
I still get my time with my owners, they still pet me, say hello to me, and let me drink water out of the fish bowl, I mean, I have a pretty good life. I see those strays on the street, going in my trash can. I shudder at the thought of being out in the rain. It must be terrifying.
And now, now, they have gone over the top. I heard them coming home yesterday, almost got off the couch to greet them, but was just too comfy, and then the door opens and in with them comes this ugly creature. I have heard them say, 'oh he is so ugly he is cute...he is so well behaved...look how much the children love him...' Yeah, shove it.They call him Stanley. What kind of name is that? Stanley. If I have anything to do about it he is going to be Flat Stanley. This thing snorts all the time, and is all in my face wanting to be my friend. He's lucky I don't have those claws, those bug eyes of his would be lying on the floor. He actually had the audacity to sleep with me and my owners last night. What was that all about? And they didn't even care! They say to to the children he is just here for a little vacation. I know what the real plan is, I know that if he works out, he is going to come back for good. His owners are planning to move away across the country, and he is going to go and move in here.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Righthander Ben McDonald, remaining on schedule for what he hopes will be his first uninterrupted season in the major leagues, pitched five shutout innings yesterday against the Boston Red Sox.
The game lasted 12 innings and ended in a 1-1 tie, but it was another victory for McDonald, who started each of the past two seasons on the disabled list.
"This spring, I think I'm right where I should be," said McDonald, who gave up four hits and did not walk a batter. "I'm very excited. This is the farthest I've gotten into spring training. I thank God for every day."

Kabbalah is not a religion. One would wonder what it is then if it is not a religion. It is a system of science that evaluates the feelings that we have as men. It is a well-calculated system that manifests and takes total control of all the feelings that we have. It uses a scientific formula to achieve this. The method is accurate and scientific and takes you through every stage while understanding everything that you need to know. It also combines intelligence. If you are a starter, some of the things that will guide you through the stages are matrices, diagrams, and geometry. It is, therefore, a system that is Scientific. As you may know, Kabbalah is not the occult or a sect as those without knowledge may tell.You can also visit their official website: Click here.
To confirm that Kabbalah is not a cult, you are free as a learner. It will be free to interact with everything and everybody in this world so they can learn from you the great things that you have benefited from Kabbalah. It helps you in getting the right knowledge of dealing with the different situation in this world, and you will have the right direction. As a student, you will understand the feeling that goes through your body, and you can name it according to the power,guidance and character. It is a piece of knowledge that existed a long time ago, and it has been proven to work well. It is the knowledge that you require if you always have the desire to become enlightened.
Human beings desire to be aware of the things that are happening in their lives. Kabbalah gives you the knowledge to deal with this form of awareness. Remember that the science of Kabbalah aims at attaining everything that man is capable of accomplishing in life. There are great things that man can do, but because of the limitations that are in this world, it becomes difficult to achieve these things. With the wisdom of Kabbalah man can make these great things and live a life that is fulfilling and satisfying. Do not live with anxiety surrounding your lives because you are not able to attain a certain level of your life. Get the lessons of Kabbalah, and you will be ready to go.

Adopting Holistic Measures of Tax Performance
Implementation of the real property tax in emerging economies can be difficult if it is viewed simply as an assessment performance exercise. Careful consideration of billing and collection performance, as well as overall administrative efficiencies, will most often lead to improved procedures, structures and enhanced tax collection.
Administrative Costs vs. Revenues
Governments are charged with managing total administrative efficiency. Outdated budgeting systems may limit the ability to compare administrative expenses to collect tax revenues. In an extreme example, a country had a property assessment department with 50,000 employees who assigned property values. Over time, the department outgrew the government's ability to raise revenues and its payroll was found to exceed total revenue collected by tens of millions of dollars. This budgetary hole was hidden because departmental revenues and expenses were never reported together. Largely because of this discrepancy, the government extended the property tax to newer and more affluent communities in order to align the revenues to the expenses. Thus, even if budgetary procedures don't require it, it is wise to annually compare actual administrative costs and collected revenues.
Time is Money
Oftentimes, assessment offices operate on very limited budgets and therefore function inefficiently. For example, municipalities in one Balkan country adopted the practice of printing tax bills in-house only when funds were available to buy toner. As a result, taxpayers never knew when to expect tax bills and the collector was unable to systematically enforce collections because of the multiple billing dates. However, when the total costs of incremental in-house billing were eventually compared to reduced costs of outsourcing one-time printing of all bills (not to mention the ease of enforcing a single billing date), most municipalities quickly contracted printing services and in turn realized improved cash flow. This is a great example of partnering with the private sector to realize administrative savings and to benefit the public.
Monitor Tax Year Collections
In many former planned economies, performance is often based against budgeted amounts and not on total billings. Even when collections meet or exceed their targets, large gaps in collection may still exist. Several reviews of Caribbean and Balkan property tax systems found annual collection rates as low as 5% of annual billings. These low rates were hidden by windfall payments made on long-overdue bills. The property tax had effectively become a second transfer tax. In one Balkan country, enhanced tax collection reporting allowed receipts to be tracked by year of billing and allowed the tax office to separate current receipts from past-due bills. As a result, year-on-year collections steadily increased and began to approach a 75% collection rate.
The Big Picture
As governments face ever-tighter budget constraints, they may look to the real property tax for additional revenues. Tax departments will increasingly be called to justify not only what they raise but how effectively and efficiently they collect revenues. This requires not just tax equity, but increased overall efficiencies and enhanced collection effectiveness.

It is an understatement to say Singapore likes to see itself as a hub. Government policy makes the city-state a hub of many things — from moviemaking to casinos, from silicon chip manufacturing to oil refining.
"Singapore has no oil of its own, but has become one of the world's leading refiners," says the Media Development Authority's deputy director, Michael Yap, who is spearheading plans to build a leading games industry.
"What we are good at is process control and management. And we are good at finding business niches: competitive advantages in places where they should not be," Yap adds.
Among the newer hub strategies, the interactive digital media — or IDM — initiative in particular appears to be taking root. It boasts the establishment of Lucasfilm Animation's first production facility outside the U.S., the launch of Japanese games company Koei Entertainment's local operations, and the transfer of the regional headquarters of Electronic Arts from archrival hub city Hong Kong.
IDM got its biggest boost in 2006 when the government allocated $500 million over five years to develop the sector. The goal is for new media research and development to fuel the growth of the larger media economy from an economic base of $4.2 billion in 2005 to a $10 billion value-added sector boasting 10,000 new jobs by 2015.
Singapore is also helping its new media cause through grass-roots programs encouraging research and development in five sectors including games and animation; mobile media; and virtual, mixed and simulated realities.
Another initiative is the Games Creation Community, which provides software development kits and allows local startups to develop their products. GCC is backed by game developers, consolemakers, vidgame distributors, industry associations, middleware suppliers, publishers and venture capitalists.
Singapore's small size remains a handicap when compared with bigger countries that can lean on larger domestic markets and bigger talent pools. "This sort of industry doesn't develop overnight, and it will probably take a few years for it to take root," says Dharmo Soejanto, a technology analyst at Kim Eng Securities.
But the country's stability gives it an edge. Singapore was for several years ranked by the Property & Environment Research Center as having the best intellectual property rights protection in Asia.
Rule of law was certainly a factor in Electronic Arts' decision to open its Singapore HQ — that and the need to localize products for the growing Southeast Asian economy in which Singapore is the undisputed hub.

The Unwanteds
Lisa McMann
The Unwanteds
Release Date: 7/10/2012
LIST PRICE: $7.99 (you save $1.60)
A riveting middle-grade dystopian novel from New York Times bestselling Wake author Lisa McMann that Kirkus Reviews calls "The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter."
When Alex finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die. That is the way of the people of Quill. Each year, all the thirteen-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the Quillitary. Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination.
It's hard for Alex to leave behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted, but he makes peace with his fate—until he discovers that instead of a "death farm," what awaits him is a magical place called Artimé. There, Alex and his fellow Unwanteds are encouraged to cultivate their creative abilities and use them magically. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation.
But it's a rare, unique occurrence for twins to be divided between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artimé that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate magical battle.
The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this middle-grade departure from McMann's string of paranormal mysteries with romance for young adults.
On the day of Purge in totalitarian Quill, which is run by the High Priest Justine, 13-year-olds learn if they are deemed Wanted to attend the university, Necessary to tend the land or Unwanted and purged by execution. Without a good-bye from his Wanted identical brother Aaron, Alex Stowe and the other Unwanteds travel to the Death Farm. Instead of death, they meet the lush and magical world of Artimè, kept secret from Justine by mage Marcus Today. In a third-person narration characterized by even pacing and whimsical inventions, Alex and his peers learn that their creativity threatened Justine's power. Surrounded by talking blackboards, transporting tubes and such fantastical creatures as an octagator (with the head of an alligator and body of an octopus) for instructors, the teens hone their drawing, music and acting skills while also wielding paintbrushes for invisibility spells and iambic pentameter to stun attackers during Magical Warrior Training, in preparation for battle against the Quillitary. As the youths explore fear, responsibility and free thinking, their spells may be used sooner than they think when Alex's twin bond is tested and rivals vie for Aaron's new position in Justine's government.
Blending elements from two popular genres, this is sure to be a double hit. - KIRKUS, April 15, 2011

DOVER, N.H. – The man convicted of raping and killing a University of New Hampshire student who rejected his sexual advances is set to be sentenced to life in prison.
Family members and friends of 19-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott are expected to address 31-year-old Seth Mazzaglia (muh-ZAY'-lee-uh) when he is sentenced Thursday.
Mazzaglia was convicted in June in the death of Marriott in the apartment he shared with then-girlfriend Kathryn McDonough. McDonough testified that she lured Marriott to the apartment on Oct. 9, 2012 as a sexual gift to her domineering boyfriend. McDonough's already serving jail time.
McDonough initially said Marriott died while the two women had consensual rough sex. She later said Mazzaglia strangled Marriott after she twice rebuffed him. The pair threw Marriott's body in a river. It's never been found.

School Cancellation Information
In the event that it is necessary to close or delay the opening of our schools because of inclement weather or other circumstances, school cancellation information may be accessed by tuning in to certain radio and television stations (see below). Students should not come to school if the schools are closed. If school is open on a snowy day, please have a plan ready in case we must dismiss students early.
The Acushnet Public Schools also utilizes a call alert system to announce school cancellation information. We also use this call alert system to provide parents/guardians with information regarding important events (such as report card dissemination and graduation dates) and unanticipated events (such as unplanned school closings).

First of all, Jeff, your forehead is perfect, never change! Okay, onto the recap.
We start with a meta-clue: The gang is making a diorama of themselves making their last diorama. For the first time since the Great Pen Debacle, Annie's Boobs appears, this time to steal Shirley's paintbrush, then quickly scurry back to his home—the vent. Huzzah! The mere appearance of the mischievous little monkey hearkened back to Community at its greatest. I knew instantly that this would be just the palate cleanser I needed to wash away the taste of meh left in my mouth from last week. I didn't even mind the visual of Chang lubing himself up to launch into the vent like a reverse cow birth. (Thank you, Annie's Boobs! You can keep him!)
Since we last saw the little thief, he's had time to create a sentimental treasure pile, spawning a recollect-a-fest of memories both real and faux for the study group. It's clear before the opening credits have even finished that we're in high-concept Community territory, a place I love. The premise—the reappearance of Annie's Boobs causes the group to recall their year through flashbacks—coupled with the rules determined by the high-conceptyness set forth (rules are there are no rules!) can mean only one thing: Community is free to run off the rails tonight. So yay.
After a disagreement over whether the group's trip to a ghost town inhabited by a racist was fun (the whiteys liked it, everyone else, not so much) Troy acknowledges what the gang and frankly I (and admit it, you) failed to notice: It's been a dark year! The glee club died, forcing Annie and Troy into a sing-a-ling-a-ding-dong (thank you for acknowledging that Glee is annoying, Community!), Pierce became a pill popper, Abed had a Claymation-involving psychotic break and Shirley got knocked up with a maybe-Changby. See? Dark! (PS: We can finally see Shirley's baby bump!)
You know who doesn't think the year's been that bad? Breff. They think everyone should look on the bright side. But hey, why wouldn't they? THEY HAVE SECRET SEX ALL THE TIME. (Gasp!) Okay, so, am I the only one who didn't know this was a secret? Abed's revelation—he's a computer, he figured it out—shocks the group. I guess I assumed everyone knew about their paintball sex. At the very least, Troy saw them making out on his 21st birthday, and during Fat Neil's intervention, Jeff asked rhetorically if there was anything he wasn't good at, and Britta said "sex," and I guess they could have thought she was just joking but…oh. Okay, yeah, I need a hobby or life of some sort. Moving on….
I'm a big fan of Breff (and a slightly less enthusiastic though ultimate supporter of Jannie). What I am not a fan of is Broy (you're getting all this, right?), so no matter what, I was glad to see that plotline from last week abandoned. (Though, I'm sure the writers are storing it in the vent for later. They are such hoarders! )
Anyway, the group is pissed, prompting a roll of flashbacks that serve as proof that Britta and Jeff are both selfish. Like that time in BARBERSHOP CLASS when Jeff stole Troy's much more impressively coiffed toupee (Oh god, I love this show so much) or when they let the rest of the group take the fall for the Habitat for Humanity house they wrecked. (No, really, this episode is making me giddy. I can't handle it.)
Britta and Jeff aren't going to take that lying down (like the time they had sex on the table in the study room), so they've got some memory pops of their own they want the gang to feast their ear tongues on. (If you're still with me, I love you.) What about that time Pierce gave himself flu shots that were reserved for the day care center or when Shirley bilked them out of 50 bucks apiece for Lady Miss Lady cosmetics?
The group's not buying it (that was just them being cute, Annie says), but Jeff and Britta think everyone's missing the point: They took one for their quirky little team, compartmentalizing their libidos for the good of the group. They are selfless! Annnnd, Annie does not like this one bit. What about all her and Jeff's passing glances and too-long stares? Angry robot, double-dutch tournament—do I even need to form complete sentences anymore?
This is one of those episodes that's nearly impossible to recap. You'd be much better watching it than reading about it. (But please keep reading. I worked medium-hard on this! You're almost done, it would be silly to stop now.) The culmination of the group's bickering is an Inception-style flashback within a flashback within a flashback, and it doesn't end well. Troy's got a nosebleed! The group is always fighting, it never stops. What's the point?
The point comes via a montage of Wingerlogues, those touchstone we—and they—have come to rely on. The point is, well, it has something to do with Caesar salad, but I'm pretty sure what it really means is that they love and care about one another and also that we are nearing the end of a really fucking amazing 22-ish minutes of comedy. Oh yeah, and also that Jeff and Britta aren't interested in group-endorsed screwing.
Then there's a cartoon! Teeeeeee!
A flashback special—the laziest, most disappointing sitcom trope—turned on its head with fake flashbacks: It's so brilliantly obvious that of course it took Community to think of it. This is the show at its best. Not afraid to be different and kooky and use the word meta in dialogue and trust that everyone watching will understand. A show that can throw in a nod to an episode of the Twilight Zone that maybe some of us get and maybe some of us get only because of Felicity and maybe some of us don't get at all but still think is funny. (Second group, right here.) It's what makes Community that show that maybe not all our friends dig, but the very best, very smartest ones do, and we like it that way. (Because we are bitches, we Community fans.)
This episode felt like a gift to us, the ones who get it. It was just fun. It didn't really matter in the scheme of things; you could have skipped it and picked up next week where you left off. But what you absolutely could not have done is tune in to the show for the first time tonight and have any fucking clue what was going on. You had to be a fan—even better if you were a superfan, an Abed-scale fan—and if you were, you were rewarded.
Okay, now you can stop reading. Just go watch it again. I'm gonna.
The full episode is right below.

NerdDog: Signing Off
Dear K9 Kindness Rescue friends and family, It's your buddy NerdDog. Boy, it's been a crazy 13 years hasn't it? …
Hello, my name is Marty and I am from Texas. I was in a shelter when this thing called a Hurricane rolled into my town. I love playing with my dog siblings, but I am still a little timid around my humans. If you have room in your heart and home I would love to be a great addition to your family! Plus look at my cute heart nose! It means I show my love for you on my face!
The K9 Kindness Pawking Lot Party (formerly Dog Dayz of Summer) is an event we hold once to twice a year. It usually takes place at either Davenport Petco or Dahl Ford.
We haven't scheduled one for 2018 yet.
We usually have Trivia Nights in the fall, winter, and spring at the Knights of Columbus in Davenport. These nights are usually a great time for prize winning, and a heck of a lot of fun.
Next one is 27 January 2018 at 6pm.
General fundraisers are as frequent as we can make them. Sometimes they're rummage sales, sometimes they're adoption days. Either way, rescue stuff!
6-7 October 2017, time and location TBA.
Dear K9 Kindness Rescue friends and family, It's your buddy NerdDog. Boy, it's been a crazy 13 years hasn't it? …
Update: 9 September 2-17 at 13:00 CDT An additional 1 to 2 dogs may be coming in from the Texas/Louisiana…
Update 30 August 2017 (18:15 CDT) Updates regarding K9 Kindness Rescue have been moved to their own page in order…
Muggles joined our family at two months of age in February of 2009 after being born in December of 2008 in a K9 Kindness foster home. They had rescued Muggles' mother - Annie - and father - Aussie - after they were surrendered to the group. We are so blessed that Debbie ended up selected our home out of many applications to adopt Muggles. She is the most kind, gentle, happy dog I have ever experienced.John L, Iowa City, IA
We adopted Arnie from K9 Kindness Rescue many years ago so that our other younger Boston Terrier would have someone to play with and our older dog could have a bit of a break. While he is not considered to be a "working breed" Arnie is diligent about going to work with me each day. Here is a photo of him working at his desk. We are so fortunate to have him in our lives.Ellonyia Y, Bettendorf, IA
We were drawn to Buster after viewing a video of him. He was a big lug, playing in the snow with tiny puppies. During the home visit I was apprehensive because he was a head taller sitting than our son was standing! But after he spent the next several minutes licking him we were sold! He's been the perfect addition to our family. He's approaching 10 years old and spends his days napping, snoring (loudly) and snuggling. He's just a big lover and we love him!Sara L, Davenport, IA
I was looking for a dog on Petfinder when I saw Molly. Next thing I knew, I was filling out the adoption paperwork. After a home inspection I met her at PetCo along with her foster mom. Love at first sight! She is such a blessing to me! We walk every day at her insistence. In winter we go to New Mexico and walk some more. She's brought adventure into my life with occasional rabbit or squirrel that dare venture into her yard. I love her to the moon and back!Carol S, Morrison, IL
Co-founded the organization in 2004 and for some reason has not lost all of her sanity yet. But we're working on it.
Assumed the position as co-insane person in 2016. She writes the checks and stares at the books. A real pointer.
Brought onto the board in 2017 for her uncanny ability to do an accurate impersonation of Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
Has been with the group in some form since 2004. Finds it strange to talk about himself in the third person.
About Us
We're crazy about dogs. Really. We love dogs, right down to the point that they boss us around. But likewise, our aim and goal is to make sure that they have loving and forever homes. We've been around the block and seen a lot of different fire hydrants. Including that REALLY yellow one. Ask your dog, he knows the one.
If you have questions about other stuff or just want to inquire about our day to day stuff, please feel free to use the contact form on the left.

What started as an ordinary day turns into an awesome family orgy with your mom & sisters.
You know your mother has something serious to say, but you really didn't see this coming. Apparently your girlfriend told your mom that you had sex & you came really fast. You're so embarrassed, and you can't believe your girlfriend told her, but your mom says it's completely normal & you just need some training. Your cheeks burn bright red as your mother says she told your sisters & they've agreed to help you. Sisters know?!? Aw man.
But then your sisters come into your room, and you start to realize what this "help" and "training" is. Your sisters are dressed so hot, and they sit down on the bed with your mom. Sisters Raquel & Taurus say that since they're your older sisters they have to help you. The family has a reputation to uphold after all, and we can't have you coming from a family of all women & not knowing how to please a woman. Mom starts to suck your cock, and you can't believe this is happening. Then Raquel & Taurus join in, and they take turns deep throating you. You've seen this before in a porn, but you never thought it would happen to you… let alone with three women… let alone with your mom & sisters.
They each fuck you cowgirl style, then reverse cowgirl, and each rides you in a different way. Each time your young cock feels like it's going to explode in an intense orgasm, they switch speed, technique, or they take turns. Mom explains that each has her own technique, and by varying that & the speed, they're edging you & helping you learn not to cum too fast. She tells you that she & each of your sisters must cum on your cock, pleasuring themselves with your body, before you're allowed to cum. It's torment but it's amazing. Finally, when they've all orgasmed, mom gives you permission to cum. Sister Raquel helps get you there with her skilled mouth, but you just can't help yourself… you cum right into her mouth. She's a little upset about it because you didn't warn her. Taurus tells you that's not polite. But mom says it's just proof that you need another lesson.
You hope for many more lessons from your hot sisters & mom.

In the early to mid 1990s, Doc Martens were the nirvana of cool. And I, like many, fell under the spell of the chunky-soled boots with the distinctive yellow stitching. I begged my parents to buy me a pair of Doc Martens – or as my mother called them, "those ugly doctor shoes." But they refused, wondering why I would want to appear as if I was moonlighting as a construction worker. Eventually, I forgave my parents for depriving me of Doc Martens – once I realized how truly ridiculous I would have looked tromping around in them. Then ironically, in the late 90s, my mom bought me a pair of Doc Marten sandals she found on sale at Daffy's. So I did eventually become cool – just, like, four years too late.
It's 2008 now, and I've got heart palpitations over another doctor. While rooting around on my mom's vanity a few weeks ago, I discovered an unopened jar of Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion For Face. When I asked where and when she bought it, she couldn't remember. Who does that? Who randomly buys beauty products then forgets about them? Unbelievable. I mean, sometimes I wonder how this woman and I can possibly be related. Anyway, so I asked politely to sample and she obliged. What happened next was a thing of myth.
I asked to take it off her hands…but after seeing the results, there was no way she was letting me leave her house with Dr. Brandt in tow.
Can you believe it? The woman who is the main beneficiary of my beauty beneficence doesn't want to share. But she did give me life, and a pair of Doc Marten sandals (albeit four years late), so I guess I'll just have to go out and get my own.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion For Face is available at Sephora and drbrandtskincare.com.
Well, that concludes 90s Ladies Week. I hope you had as much fun reading as I did writing. And be sure to visit Amber at Beauty Blogging Junkie and check out her final installment.
1 Comment on 90s Ladies Week: What's Up, Doc?
If you want to try an effective microdermabrasion cream you should check out Garden Girl. They don't use parabens or unnecessary chemicals which is really nice. I love their stuff! Their packaging is so cute and it smells great! You can find them at http://www.gardengirlskincare.com.

* IMF says larger euro firewall needed to deal with Italy, Spain
* Lagarde wants more fiscal risk-sharing, such as euro zone bonds
* IMF wants $500 bln in new lending resources, sees big funding gap
By Noah Barkin
BERLIN, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The head of the IMF called on European governments to boost the size of their rescue fund and consider financial risk-sharing steps like common euro zone bonds as a way out of their sovereign debt crisis.
In a speech at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin on Monday, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the world economy faced a "defining moment" that required quick, collective action.
To help meet the challenge, she urged leading powers to back an increase in resources for the Washington-based lender to help fill a global financing hole that the IMF believes could reach $1 trillion over the coming years.
"The longer we wait, the worse it will get. The only solution is to move forward together," Lagarde said, according to an embargoed copy of her remarks provided by the IMF before delivery.
"We must all understand that this is a defining moment. It is not about saving any one country or region. It is about saving the world from a downward economic spiral."
The IMF has helped fund a series of euro zone bailouts over the past two years, but with big European countries like Italy now under threat, it wants to boost its lending capacity, currently estimated at around $380 billion.
Members of the single currency bloc have agreed to inject close to $200 billion, but countries like the United States, Canada, China and Japan have been cool on channeling more funds to the IMF. Many are keen for Europe to take more decisive steps to resolve its debt crisis first.
Lagarde said the IMF was seeking to increase its lending resources by up to $500 billion, including the funds already pledged by Europe. The Fund estimates that up to $1 trillion in global financing could be needed over the coming years.
"I am convinced that we must step up the Fund's lending capacity," Lagarde said.
She praised decisions by euro zone governments to enforce stricter fiscal discipline and a move by the European Central Bank to provide long-term liquidity to banks, but said these steps formed mere "pieces" of a comprehensive crisis solution.
Lagarde warned specifically about the risks that higher funding costs for Italy and Spain lead to a solvency crisis, saying this would have disastrous consequences for systemic stability.
"Adding substantial real resources to what is currently available by folding the EFSF into the ESM, increasing the size of the ESM, and identifying a clear and credible timetable for making it operational would help greatly," Lagarde said, referring to the euro zone's current and future rescue funds.
She urged European leaders to complement the "fiscal compact" they agreed last month with some form of financial risk-sharing, mentioning euro zone bonds or bills, or a debt redemption fund as possible options.
Lagarde also called for bolder steps from countries outside of Europe, saying the United States had a special responsibility as the world's largest economy.
She said emerging and advanced countries with large current account surpluses should take steps to encourage domestic demand as a way to support global growth.
In an apparent reference to Germany, she said there was a "large core" in Europe where fiscal consolidation could be more gradual. Lagarde also stressed the need for timely easing of monetary policy as euro zone economies and inflation fall.

Young-adult publishing seems to be the new favorite harvesting ground for film studios looking for their next big-screen blockbuster, and who can blame them with the success of adaptions like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games"? One novel we're particularly excited to see make the leap from the page to the screen is Marie Lu's dystopian drama "Legend."
"Legend" takes place in a near-future Los Angeles and is told from the dual perspectives of teens Day and June. Day is a notorious criminal blamed for the murder of June's older brother, Metias. June is a military-officer-in-training with a particular set of skills, which she uses to hunt Day. (If the themes sounds familiar it's probably because Marie was inspired by the plot of "Les Miserables"...)
Like teen tome predecessor "Twilight," Wyck Godfrey is producing this adaptation, and when we caught up with him at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards he was more than happy to give an update on the project.
"'Legend' is, to me, a book that not enough people have discovered," Wyck said. "It's a phenomenally written book by Marie Lu. We just got a draft of the script that I think is fantastic, and her sequel ['Prodigy'], which she just showed me a galley of, is going to take it in an entirely new direction which is really fulfilling."
Wyck said that once CBS Films gives the go-ahead on the script, they can begin the long (and sometimes arduous) process of casting. Whether filmmakers will opt for unknowns or familiar faces is still up in the air.
"The interesting thing with 'Legend,' I actually think those characters should be in their early 20s because they're a little more adult in the world they're in," Wyck said. "Jonathan Levine is the director, who did '50/50' and just directed 'Warm Bodies,' and has such an eye for talent that I'm feeling pretty secure in what he comes up with."
Click on the video above to hear more from Wyck about "Legend," including the big budget he's anticipating in order to bring Marie's world to life.

Environmental Health:
Opportunities for Greater Focus, Direction, and Top-Level Commitment to Children's Health at EPA
GAO-10-545T: Published: Mar 17, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 17, 2010.

This testimony discusses highlights of GAO's report about the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to institutionalize the protection of children's health. EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment. As a result of mounting evidence about the special vulnerabilities of the developing fetus and child, the federal government and EPA took several bold steps to make children's environmental health a priority in the late 1990s. In 1996, EPA issued the National Agenda to Protect Children's Health from Environmental Threats (National Agenda) and expanded the agency's activities to specifically address risks for children, documenting EPA's plans to achieve seven goals, such as (1) ensuring that all standards set by EPA are protective of any heightened risks faced by children; (2) developing new, comprehensive policies to address cumulative and simultaneous exposures faced by children; and (3) expanding community right-to-know to allow families to make informed choices concerning environmental exposures to their children. EPA's Advisory Committee has raised concerns about whether the agency has continued to maintain its earlier focus on protecting children or capitalized on opportunities to tackle some significant and emerging environmental health challenges. For example, the Advisory Committee wrote to the Administrator in April 2007 to reflect on EPA's achievements in the 10 years since the Executive Order was signed. The committee cited successes, such as increased margins of safety for pesticides mandated under the Food Quality Protection Act and the creation of the National Children's Study. However, the Advisory Committee also expressed serious concerns about EPA's continued lack of focus on children's environmental health issues and the lack of progress in addressing the committee's many recommendations. In the intervening years, children's environmental health has become no less pressing. In fact, 66 percent of children lived in counties where air exceeded one or more of the six principal pollutants. Two of them--ozone and particulate matter--are known to cause or aggravate respiratory diseases such as asthma. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), asthma is the third most common cause of hospitalizations for children, resulting in $3.2 billion for treatment and 14 million days of school lost annually. In light of concerns about EPA's focus on children, Congress asked that GAO assess the agency's consideration of children's environmental health. This statement summarizes highlights from GAO's report being released today that addresses the extent to which EPA has institutionalized the protection of children's health from environmental risks through (1) agency priorities, strategies, and rulemakings, including implementation of Executive Order 13045; (2) the use of key offices and other child-focused resources, such as the Office of Children's Health and the Advisory Committee; and (3) involvement in federal interagency efforts to protect children from current and emerging environmental threats. To perform this work we, among other things, interviewed officials from multiple EPA program offices most directly involved with children's health issues; reviewed key EPA children's health-related policies, strategic and performance plans, and guidance documents; analyzed regulations subject to the regulatory requirements of the Executive Order; and identified the accomplishments of the Task Force.
EPA has developed policies and guidance to consider children, but it has not maintained attention to children through agency priorities and strategies. Specifically, EPA has not institutionalized the agency's commitment to children's health through, for example, an update to its National Agenda and an emphasis on protecting children in its forthcoming strategic plan. First, EPA has not updated the National Agenda in more than 10 years. GAO's report also addresses concerns related to EPA's strategic plans. The forthcoming plan, originally scheduled for issuance in September 2009, has been delayed to allow additional time for review by the agency's new leadership. GAO found that children's health was not included as a target area in the draft strategic plan, and it is not yet clear to what extent children's health will be addressed in the final plan, which is subject to revision before the Administrator finalizes it in the coming months. GAO also found that, in recent years, EPA has not fully used the Office of Children's Health Protection and its Advisory Committee, among other child-focused resources. Although EPA now has a new Director of Children's Health, EPA's Office of Children's Health experienced multiple changes in leadership over the last several years, impairing its ability to fulfill its priorities and commitments. The Task Force contributed to eight areas related to children's health, including the establishment of the National Children's Study, the largest long-term study of environmental influences on children's health and development, which was initiated as part of the Children's Health Act of 2000. The President's Task Force on Children's Environmental Health and Safety Risks was authorized by the Executive Order in April 1997 for a period of 4 years to provide high-level leadership and interagency coordination on children's environmental health. According to EPA officials involved on the steering committee, the agency was not able to convene the Task Force thereafter, for reasons related to new priorities following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. With the Task Force's expiration, EPA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) no longer have a high-level infrastructure or mandate to coordinate federal strategies for children's environmental health and safety.

Colon Cancer Survival RatesThursday, February 5th, 2009
This article will discuss about colon cancer survival rates and its implications.
Colon Cancer Survival Rates: What is a Colon Cancer?
Colon Cancer is a disease of the lower part of the digestive system affecting the colon, rectum and appendix. It is also called Colorectal or Large Bowel Cancer. It is the 3rd most common cancer and the 2nd leading cause of cancer related deaths in the Western World. As per the American Cancer Society, 49,960 deaths are expected from Colon Cancer in 2008 in the US. In the UK, around 35,000 cases are detected every year and 16,000 deaths occur from the disease. Worldwide Colon Cancer accounts for 655,000 deaths annually.
Colon Cancer Survival Rates Reportedly Improving
The death rate in the US however has been dropping over the past 20 years. Today there are over 1 million survivors of the disease in the US. The main reason for the vast improvement in colon cancer survival rates is the improved screening available, which detects polyps before they become cancerous. If detected at an early stage, Colorectal Cancer is one of the most treatable.
As with most cancers, the stage at which the disease is diagnosed determines the prognosis or the survival rate. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute gives these overall survival rates for Colon cancer in the US: 93% at stage 1, 85% at stage 2A, 72% at stage 2B, 83% at stage 3A, 64% at stage 3B, 44% at stage 3C and 8% at stage 4.
Colon Cancer Survival Rates By Stage
Colon cancer survival rates vary depending on where the tumor is located. If the cancerous growth is located in the ascending colon, the 5 year survival rate is 63%, for the transverse colon it is 59% and for the descending colon it is 66%.
Colon cancer survival rates vary from country to country in the western world itself, possibly because of effectiveness of screening procedures. While the overall survival rate in the US is 62%, it is 43% in Europe.
The average age of diagnosis of Colon Cancer is 70 years; however younger people can get it too. Increased risk factors are those who have had a previous history of Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The treatment is mainly surgery in which the piece of the bowel that contains the cancer is removed and the two open ends are joined. If they can't be joined, the bowel is brought outside the abdominal wall and a Colostomy bag created. Surgery is followed by Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy which improves the colon cancer survival rates by a further 5-6%.

Written By Patrick Kilgore And Presented By Charles Leaver Ziften CEO
A report was published called "Financiers put billions into cyber security companies" by CEO of Cybersecurity Ventures, Steve Morgan. This is not guesswork. The previous year alone, venture backed cyber security organizations raised nearly $2 billion dollars. With this increase of capital, you would be forgiven for believing that things have actually achieved their peak. But you would be incorrect …
At the midpoint of 2015, start ups in cyber security had actually already raised $1.2 billion in financing. There seems to be no end in sight when it pertains to cyber security as Morgan suggests. Leading firms like Allegis Capital have actually even raised funds (to the tune of $100M) to back cyber security innovation, exclusively.
The usual suspects are not there on the list of names. Morgan's article states that most of the financing statements are for quick growing companies like ours. Ziften is in good company among innovators who are keeping pace with the demands of modern cyber security. While we lead the pack in constant endpoint visibility – others companies have taken distinct approaches, such as applying artificial intelligence to the fight against cyber attacks or simplifying crucial lookups to bring public key file encryption to the masses. They are all tackling a various pieces of the puzzle.
And it certainly is a puzzle. Because lots of solutions are highly specialized, collaboration is going to be critical. The need for incorporating the different components in the market for an advanced view of the issue set is clear. That's why we developed Ziften Open Visibility ™ – to supply APIs, connectors, and indicators to incorporate endpoint context and attribution data with existing investments.
Market Vision That Is 20/20
It may seem like market saturation to the layperson but it is just the tip of the cyber security iceberg. Every day, cyber attacks become more sophisticated, finding brand-new ways to devastate customers and organizations. This list of backed companies is a testament to the notion that legacy endpoint and network security is failing. The idea of prevention is a good one, however security experts now understand that a 2 pronged strategy is needed that integrates detection and response.
You can have a 20/20 view of your security landscape, or you can keep your present blind spots. Which one do you believe will help you to sleep at night?

Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build relies heavily on a high attack speed and on hit effects. The malady, black cleaver and madred's bloodrazer all work really well together and well ensure you will be taking down your enemies left and right. Flash is always nice to have to get out of a tight spot, then use move quick to get out. I pick exhaust for the other spell b/c since this build doesnt incorporate a slow into the item build, exhaust will cover that for you, and allow you to have your opponent blinded almost the entire time you fight with an exhaust/blinding dart combo.
For items, start with a vampiric scepter, it should be very easy to keep your health up with it and is one of the parts for the first item you should build, Malady. After Malady, grab Beserker's greaves. The rest of your item build should follow exactly as shown, next is madreds, then phantom, black cleaver, and if you find yourself with gold to spend, grab an infinity edge for your last item. I have won so many team fights with this build and got triple and quad kills because I just blow through my opponents health.
Oh, and if you are wondering about why mana regen instead of attack speed runes, with this build you will be pushing close to top attack speed (2.5 attacks per second) and there is no need to go over, however I have always found that teemo, especially with him laying mushrooms everywhere, has a bit of a mana shortage problem, and these runes help tremendously.

Ahn Jae Hyun considers main role in KBS drama Blood
Ahn Jae Hyun is prepping for a vampire role! The popular star is looking at his next drama role with the upcoming KBS2 TV series Blood. According to Newsen, he has been offered the leading role of a surgeon named Park Ji Sang at a cancer center. Park is vampire who has a craving for blood.
"Ahn Jae Hyun has been offered a role in KBS2 TV's Blood. He has been researching for his role in the drama positively," a representative from his agency HB Entertainment told the media outlet today. This means that Jung Il Woo, who was in talks for the role, has declined.
Blood will be a medical drama about vampires. This series reunites the Good Doctor team Ki Min Soo PD and writer Park Jae Bum. It is scheduled to air in February of 2015.
See Shin Ha Kyun as an elderly chaebol who ages in reverse in the romantic comedy Mr. Baek:
If Ahn accepts the role, it will be his next series after the SBS drama You're All Surrounded in the summer.

"In this spaceship of the imagination, free from the shackles of space and time, we can go anywhere."
From the opening remarks courtesy of President Barack Obama, to the heartfelt closing that felt more like Neil DeGrasse Tyson sharing why he was qualified to pick up where Carl Sagan had left off so many years ago, every minute of the new Cosmos: a Spacetime Odyssey was everything any of us could have wanted it to be.
This new series, brought to life with the help of Executive Producer Seth MacFarlane and aiming to give people something new to do either on Sunday night on FOX or Monday night on National Geographic, strikes a perfect balance between new visual effects and maintaining the structure and format of the original.
It's an impressive combination to pull off, especially with a shiny new spaceship layout and new animations for telling the stories of our past. Fortunately, we've got a new guide with a fantastic presence and a clear mission in front of him — to use these new tools to educate as many people as possible about where we've been and where we're going. Don't worry though, he still knows exactly what we're all made of.
This first episode of Cosmos did exactly what it needed to do, which was to create a layout explaining what we know so far and placing markers for what we don't know yet. It demonstrates theory with impressive visuals, demonstrating just how small we really are right before diving right back down to Earth and showing us all how we came to understand that we are not the center of the Universe. This episode tells the tale of Giordano Bruno and what he went through long before people like Galileo were around to help him prove his theories.
The demonstration of Bruno's experiences were blunt and downright aggressive at points, demonstrating his run in with The Inquisition and his inability to deal with the way his theories were considered downright criminal were represented in spectacular fashion. It is a powerful message to start off the series, which was both deliberate and fantastic.
As the show continues to take form, Cosmos will exist digitally as well. During one of the commercial breaks it was made clear that there would be an interactive second screen app for iOS and Android available soon. In an attempt to install it during one of those breaks I found that it isn't widely available yet. Given the volume of Samsung commercials during the break and the Samsung Android phone used as the visual on the Cosmos website to show off the app, it would appear as though there's a temporary exclusivity there.
While it's everything fans of the original Cosmos could possibly ask for, the show will need lots of new viewers to survive. Sunday night at 9pm Eastern forces Cosmos to compete with The Walking Dead for eyeballs, though the fact that it airs again the next day on another channel will likely help a great deal with that.
So far the show is perfect for people who were already going to watch it, and that might be enough on its own, but the real hurdle will be seeing whether or not this show is able to do what the original did and grab a whole new generation of eyeballs and lead them toward the sciences.
Update: Here is Cosmos, Ep1, in full!
