This show is getting too many mascots. First Boxxie McFinderberg, then our soon-to-be beta fish, and now a baby panda?! On today's show, we discuss "Terminator Salvation," Asian actors in Pixar's "UP," E3 2009, the Sony PSP Go, and the leaked Palm Pre review on Boy Genius Report.
Sony and Palm are clearly using the same marketing team, because they're both mucking things up with the release of their latest products, the Palm Pre and the recent Sony PSP Go leakage. Jeff and Wilson suspect that they released it early on purpose, but the real story here is how boring it is. None of the internal specs have changed, it's the same screen as the PSP 3000 except for minor upgrades to the onboard memory. The most obvious difference is the sliding keypad. Wilson thinks it's simply useless and just another piece of hardware prone to break over time. Not surprisingly, the dudes think it's a wise move not to include a UMD slot in the new PSP Go. After all, everything is going the way of cloud computing, and you can still put a game on a Sony Memory Stick anyway. Wait a second, what the hell? Why am I even writing about all this gaming garbage? Up until five minutes before the show, I didn't even know what a PSP Go was!
Moving on: if you're running out of toilet paper for the day, print out Boy Genius Report's Palm Pre review and wipe away. BGR unveiled the "world's first review" of the new handheld on Friday, and it also happens to be the "world's most poorly written review" as well. First of all, there's a code of ethics that comes into play here, and BGR still hasn't revealed how or why they decided to leak the review before anyone else. Journalistic integrity, anyone? And come on, dude: if you're going to leak a high-profile review that you know will get a massive amount of hits, maybe spend a tiny bit more time shaping the text. We get that it's a blog, but this review reads like someone wrote it on the pot. Or maybe we're just jealous that we didn't get one first. :)
Finally, thanks again to EVERYONE that submitted logos over the weekend for our contest. It ended today, so don't send any more unless you have one that can seriously compete with the finalists (which we will debut tomorrow).

Chapter 6 Summary
The next day arrives and the Baudelaires head for Nero's office. On the way, they realize they don't have an appointment to meet with him and will be forced to eat their breakfast without any utensils. They joke about what they'll do if oatmeal or eggs are served and this reminds them of a picnic they had before their parents' death. At the picnic, the Baudelaires had forgotten to bring silverware and had to eat sweet-and-sour shrimp with their hands. Each child remembers that special day and the fun they had with their parents. Then, as their laughter fades, they are reminded of the stark reality of their situation.
Nero is irritated at being interrupted and mocks the children as they try to tell him that they think Count Olaf is in the school. To avoid letting on what they know, the children...

Koch Brothers' Columbus Summit Kicks Off Ad Campaign Excluding John Kasich
A new online advertising campaign kicked off this week for the Defending The American Dream Summit to be held in Columbus, Ohio this August. The event is sponsored by the Koch Brother-funded group Americans For Prosperity (AFP).
The ad campaign features many well-known governors who are running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 such as Marco Rubio, Rick Perry and Jeb Bush.
Ohio Governor John Kasich still appears to be off the invitation list, as we first reported back in May.
So why isn't Ohio Governor Kasich joining top tier presidential candidates like Jeb Bush at an event that will be held only a few blocks from his Downtown Columbus office?
It looks like he is still banned from all Koch Brothers' events for acting like a jerk to big Republican donor Randy Kendrick, wife of the owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Here are some of the latest ads in the AFP campaign:
'Bout time that jerk learned that he can't treat everyone like s—. Nee ner nee ner nee ner.
Well, now, its just beginning to start (Kasich's epoch collapse)…Just waiting to see how the CD reacts when their Golden Boy fails miserably in his futile quest for the GOP nomination. Will they be eating crow? Will they admit his character flaws did him in? Or will they scapegoat his failure onto others?…Schadenfreude, folks, schadenfreude…hehe
Mike Horn
I think we need to be fair here. I am not a supporter (of Kasich or either of the two parties) but let's give credit where credit is due. Kasich stood apart from the sycophants at this event and spoke his mind and with passion. He was passionate about his stance to expand medicaid to cover the less fortunate and did not back down to the elitists (donors) at the event. It was reported in Politico that 20 "guests" at the event left after this row. He pissed a lot of rich folks off.
This non-sense about him "acting like a jerk" is way off base. You may say that even a broken clock is right twice a day…but what he did took balls. I am sure it has cost him a ton of donations and other "tea party" support. However, if he plays this correctly it could really pay off. He is painting himself as a conservative centrist and blue-collar guy who shoots from the hip. That is a very popular position with many voters. Just my $0.04.
john curry
The last time the Americans for Prosperity came to town it was at an anti-SB 5 rally held on the steps of the Statehouse where the president of AFP, Timmy (the Teabagger) Phillips, was passing out pro-SB 5 T-shirts on the steps….and he had a difficult time finding anyone who would take those pieces of s#$t. For Timmy, this will seem like a reunion, won't it?
Red Rover
There's speaking your mind, and there's disrespectful. Kasich is the latter.
Josh Allen
He wasn't being a jerk. He was defending his decision to accept expanded medicaid, which the ultra rich owner of the diamondbacks had a problem with. Good for him. Good for us. Nonetheless, the fact that he is snubbed makes my day.

Believer EncouragementsTaken from CH Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 6 February, Morning
"Praying always." - Ephesians 6:18
What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when he had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty, and for succour in the day of trial. We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock-Christ Jesus the Lord. Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner upon the daily bounty of God; and hence your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and therefore the supplies have been infinitely great, and your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless. Then have you not cause to say, "I love the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplication"? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God's answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonoured him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat. Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus graciously heard your poor weak prayers. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

Kcal 205 Fat 12.4g Carbs 20.5g
If this Midweek Mini is bringing a real sense of Deja-Vu then your feelings are well founded. Almost a year ago to the day I kicked off my ChocolateMission Christmas 2011 reviews bringing you all my rundown of Mars's latest addition to the Galaxy range, the Galaxy 'A Gift For You' - See HERE. I commented back then how ridiculous it was to be finding Christmas products in the early days of September, but the supermarkets round near me have surpassed themselves with my first sightings of festive goodies coming as soon as August this year. As aforementioned, feelings of Deja-Vu are not misplaced today as the 2012 ChocolateMission reviews will also start off with me bringing you my thoughts of a product named Galaxy 'A Gift For You'. As you may have clocked by the title and photos this time around I was checking out the all new 'Truffle' variant.
Like last years Caramel based product this new truffle variety also comes in a 38.0g serving size and looks identical both in terms of wrapper and chocolate design. On pack the chocolate is described as 'milk chocolate with a truffle filling', the latter of which was contained within the two smaller pockets of the four block format. In terms of taste there were no surprises in flavour delivery with the whole experience highly familiar with the sweet cocoa flavours heavily rooted in double cream undertones and with a smooth as silk flavour progression and amplification. The truffle filling was non-enhancing flavour wise, though it did bring a notable variation texturally so it was a least compelling in one sense.
Overall this is new variety holds little in the way of surprises though this is necessarily not a bad thing . Whilst it may lack any creative or innovative newness, the chocolate at hand is by and large damn tasty and I certainly didn't hold any negative sentiment towards it. If you like Galaxy chocolate then really there is nothing whatsoever you aren't going to enjoy here. It's a cute looking product that tastes as it should do with a little bit of variety thrown it texturally from the truffle filling. Personally I would still choose the Caramel filled variety from last year, but that's pure personal preference. Let me know what you think about this years Galaxy 'A Gift For You' on Twitter. Do you think its truffle delicious-ness or a chance missed to try something new!? @Chocomission with your thoughts please.

PNWD, often pronounced PIN-wad, stands for Pacific Northwest Disease. This is a disease manifested by flabbiness, cellulite and pallid skin due to being stuck indoors and on the couch during the long winter months in Seattle and Portland. Women emerging in the first hot days of spring wearing shorts (and men) display the unfortunate and unsightly symptoms of pin-wad. See also NEDS, (New England Disease).

There's no good excuse. I guess I just got carried away. Because the summer garden was finally planted (except for the root crops which prefer a 3rd quarter moon).

Actress Olivia Munn has become the latest star to bare all for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
In her first nude photo shoot, the 31-year-old pin-up, poses au naturel next to a fluffy bunny for the animal activists' latest I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur billboard.
Olivia Munn has also filmed a video exposing the Chinese fur industry.
She says, "As a proud person of Chinese descent, it broke my heart to learn just how terribly animals suffer and die on Chinese fur farms and that there are no penalties for this abuse."
Olivia Munn is the latest in a long line of beauties who have stripped for PETA's anti-fur campaign, including George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis and Taraji P. Henson.

Jill Zarin speaks out about the car wreck that knocked her unconscious
Well, this is pretty terrifying. Former The Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin was involved in a major car crash on Friday that knocked her unconscious. There was a pileup on FDR Drive in New York City, and Zarin, who was riding in the back without a seatbelt, wound up making a scary trip to the hospital.
According to reports, Zarin and her publicist were headed to an event to promote her film, Night of the Wild, when they were involved in a dangerous three-car pileup. An insider said the car was only going around 30 mph, but being that Zarin wasn't wearing her seatbelt, she was whipped around and knocked unconscious. Thankfully, however, after a trip to the hospital, the reality star was back at home by 3 p.m.
More: Jill Zarin refuses to move on
Despite being seemingly OK after the accident, Zarin was reportedly suffering from back pain and a slight tingling down her spine. Supposedly, the extent of her injuries won't be known for a few days, but thus far, everything seems to be on the up and up. The mom of one has been tweeting since the accident, and she even told Radar Online, "The lesson from all of this is always wear your seatbelt!"
More: 5 Reasons Bethenny Frankel's ex, Jason Hoppy, sounds like a nightmare
Not long after the accident, Zarin's assistant sent out a tweet from her account, letting her fans know that she was all right after reports began to surface.
Not gonna lie, I kinda respect this girl for promoting herself while tweeting from her boss' account. Also, when you go to her Twitter account, it says she's Jill Zarin's "cyber assistant." I wonder what that means.
More: Bethenny Frankel is making all the right decisions with Eric Stonestreet
A short while later, Zarin began sending out a few messages of her own, confirming that she was, in fact, OK.
Later in the evening, Zarin even tweeted that she was getting ready to watch her movie with friends.
The reality star turned actress also retweeted some fans' compliments and answered questions about the flick.
Thank goodness Zarin — or anyone that we know of — wasn't harmed in the accident. Regardless of what you and Bethenny Frankel think of her, it would have been terrible if anything had happened to her.
From the sound of things, Zarin is completely OK right now, so it doesn't sound like any lasting damage was done. She's likely just a little shook up, and hopefully, as she mentioned, she'll now wear her seatbelt every time she's in the car.
In other news, as horrendous as it is to say, Zarin's car wreck was weirdly good promotion for her movie. Many people probably didn't even know she was acting in a flick, but tuned in — or at least watched a trailer online — after hearing about it. I know I did. I also know you're probably kind of curious about Zarin's acting debut — so here's the trailer for your viewing pleasure. You're welcome.
Weird? Totally. But, from the looks of things, Zarin's actually not a bad actress — you know, in a campy kind of way. Looks like there might be life after Real Housewives after all.
Again, though, the most important thing is that she wasn't hurt. But, please, Jill, for the love of god, wear your seatbelt whenever you're in a car.
No, girl. It does.

Flytrap Clearance Sale
Chatterbox can't stand the pressure. Less than 72 hours to the historic first episode of To Tell the Truth ever to be televised from the White House. As Monica Mania heads for its Monday meltdown, dedicated print reporters everywhere are nervously checking their voice mail to see if any TV bookers called. (Chatterbox is proud to announce that he has already gotten the Big Call for on-air commentary on Monday--from an AM radio station in Canada). But journalists also face the dread knowledge that seven months of airy speculation about the president's legal strategy will be trumped by reality on Monday. Signs of panic are everywhere. The normally restrained front-page "Washington Wire" column in today's Wall Street Journal featured four separate Flytrap jokes. Use 'em or lose 'em.
As the clock ticks ominously, Chatterbox is also suffering pangs of publish or perish. So many carefully etched insights, so little time. With the remainder table beckoning, let's get the show on the road:
The Kantor Connection: Who tipped off the New York Times that Bill Clinton is leaning toward his version of the Watergate strategy of a full modified hangout? The Times story this morning quoted "senior advisers" as saying that the president plans to admit sexual activity with Ms. Lewinsky, but would deny that these were "sexual relations" as defined in the Paula Jones law suit. How statesmanlike of the president to decide that it is better to be accused of being a pervert by the Christian Right than to be caught as a perjurer.
So who's the primary high-level leaker? Chatterbox is convinced that all arrows point to Clinton's behind-the-scenes legal adviser, Mickey Kantor. The biggest clue is that David Sanger, the Times' international economics maven, was one of the four reporters who shared the byline. In the last six months, Sanger has written just one prior story on the legal maneuvering over Flytrap. But Sanger covered Kantor during the first term when the California politico served as Special Trade Representative and Commerce Secretary. And back in late January, Sanger profiled this "loyal, pugnacious lawyer with a highly attuned political ear" when Kantor returned to action on the Clinton defense team.
Beating the Rap: Why is everyone, including the Times, so eager to conclude that Monica's ministrations took the form of oral sex? Sure, Lewinsky famously bragged that she was going "to get my presidential knee pads." But that boast was made to Andrew Bleiler--Monica's high school drama teacher and so much more--before Lewinsky ever got to the White House. What if the president, so reckless yet so careful, limited himself to activities of the more solo variety? After all, the tabloid Star this week claims that the obliging Monica stripped for the president and "Bill lost control when that little blue dress came off!" (For more of the tabloids' take, see Emily Yoffe's "Keeping Tabs" column.)
Okay, Chatterbox is getting a little overheated as he piles on conjectures from dubious sources. But it is all designed to set up a notion that Chatterbox first heard this week from a Democratic political operative with little lingering love for the president. If this icky story comes down to an M-word defense, wasn't Clinton a hypocrite for firing Joycelyn Elders? The surgeon general's sin was, after all, to publicly suggest that masturbation "is part of human sexuality and perhaps should be taught" in safe sex programs. Defending his decision to oust Elders, Clinton piously claimed "the president is entitled to have people in certain positions who agree with him." Mr. President, exactly what positions were you talking about?
The Poll Perplex: Let's see if Chatterbox has this right. Bill Clinton has an uncanny understanding of the nuances of the political mood of America. And according to the latest USA Today-CNN-Gallup Poll, only 26 percent of the nation would "lose confidence" in the president if he admitted having sex with Monica. If Americans are truly that forgiving of presidential hanky-panky, then why was there the need for such an elaborate White House coverup? Why didn't Clinton just 'fess up back in January and save us all this long ordeal?
Maybe the president, for all his legendary political savvy, is as baffled by these unexpected poll numbers as everyone else. Maybe Clinton has been masking his sexual encounters for so long that he didn't notice that public attitudes have grown far more tolerant. Here's a heretical idea: Perhaps Joycelyn Elders was instinctively more attuned to the sexual mood of the country. Chatterbox's own theory, which may be shared by the president, is that all these poll results are a mirage. Until the American people actually hear the president confess that he grossly stretched the truth back in January with his denials of a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, no one can predict how this modified mea-culpa strategy will actually play with the voters.
Focus Group Grope: Chatterbox suspects that presidential pollster Mark Penn will be dispatching operatives this weekend to selected shopping malls to conduct focus groups to guide Clinton in any public apology. This is, after all, a president who has test marketed everything, even his banal re-election slogan about a "bridge to the 21st century."
So, Chatterbox Irregulars, this is the moment to test the vaunted power of the Internet. Has any survey-taker offered you or your friends say, $50 to participate in a high-minded round-table discussion about what constitutes "sexual relations"? Or asked your feelings about what may have happened under that bridge to the 21st century? If so, by all means, share the moment with an e-mail to email@example.com.

As we race toward the start of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), one of two major value-based tracks defined by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), there are specific activities your organization, large or small, should be doing now to ensure you are prepared:
1.Educate your organization: How familiar are you, your executives, your clinicians, and other team members with the financial, operational, and reputational impacts of MIPS?
Without a sound understanding of the genesis and future direction of MIPS, organizations risk being left behind in this competitive program where every performance point translates into dollars. MACRA combines the existing Medicare Meaningful Use (MU), Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), and Value-Based Modifier (VBM) programs into MIPS. MIPS payment adjustments will be applied two years after each performance year and will drive (for the first performance year) an estimated 18-26% difference in reimbursement between the highest and lowest performing clinicians.
2.Estimate your MIPS Composite Performance Score: Do you know how your current performance translates into a MIPS score?
Your MIPS Composite Performance Score for the first performance year is derived from four categories: Quality, formerly PQRS/VBM, is 50%; Advancing Care Information (ACI), essentially renamed from Meaningful Use, is 25%; Clinical Practice Improvement Activities (CPIA) is 15%; and Resource Use, often referred to as "Cost", is 10%. Performance within each category is calculated differently under MIPS than it has been historically. Knowing your estimated score is key to understanding where to focus.
3.Optimize MU & PQRS/VBM Quality to maximize your MIPS Composite Performance Scores: Do you know what activities to implement now to prepare your organization for success under MIPS?
The Quality and ACI categories account for 75% of the MIPS Composite Performance Score. Understanding where your organization has opportunities for improvement within these categories, and implementing best practices to address, will establish effective processes that will carry into 2017 when every MIPS performance point will have financial and reputational repercussions.
4.Evaluate staff, resources and structure: Is your organizational structure optimized for MIPS?
Under MIPS, the four categories are input into a single score. The decision to report for MIPS as individual clinicians versus as a group of clinicians, which can greatly impact the MIPS score, must be applied equally across the Quality and ACI categories. Is your organization best structured to effectively manage these programs under a single umbrella, while also managing performance for the CPIA and Resource Use categories as well? We see organizations consolidating Meaningful Use/ACI and PQRS/Quality under a single senior leader to centrally manage the MIPS performance portfolio.
Under the PQRS/VBM Program, the vast majority of organizations avoided penalties simply by participating. However, under MIPS practically all organizations will either be assessed a penalty or receive an incentive. This competitive program is designed such that the penalties applied to low performers essentially pay for the incentives paid to high performers. Organizations that are prepared to "hit the ground running" the day the program begins are those that initiate preparations today.

Electrovaya defines non-IFRS income (loss) from operations as the Loss from operations, before patent expenses and non-cash expenses such as (i) amortization and (ii) the fair value of stock compensation and share purchase warrants expensed during the period. Electrovaya considers non-IFRS income (loss) from operations to be a useful metric for management and investors because it excludes the effect of certain non-cash and non-operational expenses so that management and investors can compare Electrovaya's core business operating results over multiple periods.

I have a new pool and am doing my initial testing. I am not sure I am doing the TA test correctly. I have the test kit from Duraleigh on this site. I am using the 1" diameter clear vial and filling it to the 25 ml mark as instructed. I put in two drops of the 007 reagent and shook it. I then put in 5 drops of the green 008 reagent, as instructed. When I shake this mix it turns a very light green, but still transparent. I have then added up to 30 drops of the 009 reagent, and nothing happens. The test water remains a very light green. It is supposed to turn red at some time. Am I doing something wrong that it is never changing colors, or do I need to keep adding more than 30 drops?
When the instructions say the test water should turn green and then red, do they mean dark green and dark red, or just a slight shade of either, with the water still essentially transparent?
my ph is 7.2 and chlorine is around 5 -7 ppm. I havent tested anythingelse yet.

Munaf and Omar Go to White Castle
Of all the striking things about the consolidated cases the Supreme Court is set to hear this Tuesday — presenting the question whether U.S. citizens held by the U.S. military in Iraq can seek habeas review of their detention in the U.S. federal courts — the most striking to me has got to be how little anyone seems to care.
I should say I'm not one to raise the specter of public inattention lightly. Indeed, it always drove me a little bit nuts how often ( viz. invariably) I'd get the question at public panels devoted to post-9/11 law and security issues (usually with respect to torture): "Why doesn't anyone seem to care about this?" First, a huge number of people demonstrably care (including the hosts of the forum and everyone attending). Congress has legislated now repeatedly on the topic. Foundations and nonprofits have devoted comparatively enormous quantities of time and resources to advancing (to greater or lesser degrees of success) their views. Academic and popular publications have proliferated on this like copies of Thriller c. 1983. And as far as I can tell, pretty much everyone in the press has covered it (torture in particular) at one time or another in recent years. Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with that. Second, I'm a lawyer, not a public opinion pollster. To the extent one hasn't encountered one's preferred level of rioting in the streets on a particular issue, I'd as soon defer on the "why" question to political scientists, clergy members, and marketing analysts (not necessarily in that order). Third, on what actual basis is anyone asserting there isn't "anyone" who cares? Their own polling? The issue's relative absence on the cover of People magazine?
Now where was I? Ah, being slightly more careful lest I be rightly accused of self-contradiction. Trying again — I've heard comparatively little about this case at the listservs, blogs, conferences, columns, amicus briefs, etc. folks in my field frequent. Maybe I just don't get out enough. Whatever the case, I think Geren v. Omar and Munaf v. Geren have the potential to be at least as important as Hamdi , Rasul , and Hamdan — the banner Supreme Court cases post-9/11 dealing (mostly favorably) with individual rights in the face of executive power.
While I'm hoping/guessing Dahlia will help fill the relative vacuum with her usual fabulous account of oral arguments on Tuesday, here are some questions I'd be most interested in hearing my fellow bloggers address in the meantime: 1) Anyone think this case is not likely to take another chunk out of the idea that the executive acting on security matters abroad is entitled to total deference by the courts? 2) On the foreign affairs and the U.S. Constitution front (if not the hypocrisy front), what do folks make of the administration's argument here that the source of executive power to detain Americans abroad in Iraq may be found (effectively) in international law?

Thor and Captain America Score Sequels
Superhero saturation.
Neither Thor nor Captain America has been released yet, but that hasn't stopped Marvel Comics from signing both films up for sequels. The Chris Hemsworth–helmed Thor opens in two weeks, and Captain America, starring Chris Evans, comes out in two months, but Marvel is banking on both being blockbusters. Said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, "Thor will go off into a new adventure, and Captain America will continue to explore the modern world in another film of his own. We hope that holds true for the characters appearing in that film." He's really selling it, isn't he? [Movieline]

Back in the hypocrisy can't explode heads category, I just read the South Dakota story. Amazingly, the liberal media has apparently been ignoring this one for the most part. Hypocrisy just isn't news anymore. (New strategy is slanting the twisted words. I think it beats scare quotes--this piece one was getting full of them.)
Remember that compassionate conservative stuff? Well, the basic philosophic angle is that government shouldn't help people. People should just be held responsible for their own mistakes. Well, this staunch Dubya supporter Janklow made a big mistake and killed someone a couple of weeks ago. Speeding and running a stop sign. However, now he's doing everything he can to stay out of jail. Just like Janklow has beaten all of his previous speeding raps. Even wants to stay in Congress. Working from jail might be awkward, but his good lawyers will probably beat this rap, too. We can't hold HIM responsible for HIS mistakes! Such a fine flag-wrapped Republican and Bush friend, after all.
In his entry for the quote of the week category, Janklow complains that he understands mortality better than most of us. Yeah, you get a special understanding when you kill someone, and most of us just haven't had that enlightening experience.
No, Janklow's head hasn't exploded, though he's complaining about headaches. If there's anyone in charge up there, he, she, or it sure has a funny sense of humor. However, it doesn't seem likely that Janklow can really threaten Rumsfeld or Dubya for the hypocrisy championship.
The other day Rumsfeld was saying how we can't leave Iraq now just because we're getting a bloody nose. As though any of his own precious blood was at risk? Mostly made me think of a bully who was whipping up on some little weakling, only the weakling took a wild swing and managed to bloody the bully's nose. So now the bully is complaining that the weakling doesn't have enough lunch money to pay for a proper bandage? He wants old UNcle Kofi and friends to come to the rescue? Is that the same UNcle Kofi you've been alternately ignoring and badmouthing?
Sorry, Rummy boy, but the bottom line remains that the nosebleed is not life threatening, and you Bushies were asking for it, to boot. Figuratively speaking, of course, since it's already obvious what chickenhawks you really are. Too bad your OWN blood gets the best protection available (especially greedy Chicken Cheney in his undisclosed locations). The only real risk is that Saddam might crawl back out from under a rock somewhere. Talk about embarrassing. What, at least $75 billion spent so far, and we haven't even gotten Saddam's t-shirt yet? (That's a very official and conservative estimate. Really ought to include the $60-$80 billion from last time around, plus the latest allocation of $75 billion, and who knows how much more in secret funding.)
You don't have to take my word for it. Dubya himself has now waffled the other way and is publicly stating that Iraq never attacked us and had no connection to 9/11 and he can't imagine how the public came to believe such a preposterous thing. Like he hasn't spent the last couple of years trying to paint that picture? Excuse me, but clearly Dubya is still winner and undisputed World Hypocrisy Champion.
Explode his head? Dubya isn't even having the headaches!
To close on a general philosophic note, I really do believe in Occam's Razor, and there's no reason for complicated conspiracy theories to explain most of the greed and stupidity in the world. However, there ARE conspiracies, and sometimes even complicated conspiracies which would obviously prefer to look like something else. In those cases, the simplest explanation that accounts for all of the historical facts actually will be the explanation that includes the conspiracy... And the BIG problem with history is that you can't change it--you can only try to hide it.

I picked up an iPod shuffle for me and wife last week as an early Valentine's Day gift. They come in different colors now which is meaningless, but cool. I understand that some people are still annoyed by the lack of a display, but I'm old enough to still think that something the size of a piece of gum that plays music is pretty nifty. I've listened to the thing for hours now at the gym and during my lunch, and still haven't listened to a bit of music on it. You see, I have rediscovered the podcast.
I remember being very excited about the idea of a podcast when they first started to become easily available. I'm a huge fan of spoken word programing and have a small, but respectable collection of radio dramas and readings, some of which include performances by myself. Long ago in the days of college radio, Gameguy could be heard on the airwaves, spinning actual records and reading actual poetry with all the wit and confidence of a young Anthony Bourdain, complaining about his soup.
Podcasting didn't immediately appeal to me. There just didn't seem to be enough out there. I could already hear most of what was available by listening to NPR, which I did and still do. I soon forgot about podcasting and went on about my non-podcasting business.
Once I picked up my iPod Shuffle, and hooked it up to iTunes; however, I discovered that podcasting had grown diverse and mighty, becoming a bloated giant, stumbling around, waiting for some innocent listener to be crushed by ninety minutes of smartly edited doggerel. Now this was something I wanted to explore. I figured there must be some truffles growing somewhere in all of this crap.
I cast my net wide at first, and pulled in everything that sounded interesting. Most of it was, in fact, crap; however, I did find a couple of gaming podcasts worth listening to on a regular basis.
- The Dice Tower is a weekly podcast about tabletop games. This was one of the few gaming podcasts I found that had a good mix of humor and board game geek factor. The podcast has been around for some time now, and has quite a following. I'm starting to work my way backwards as I keep up with the current issue.
- The Instance! is one of the many podcasts dedicated to folks who play World of Warcraft. This one sets itself apart from the others by offering actual information, amusing but tight audio, and by just not sucking in general. If you play WoW, you should give it a listen.
The next edition of the Game Carnival will be posted this week, and I continue to work at becoming unfunkified. Thank you to those friends near and far who have shown such great support.

Trash-dumping legislation is dividing local lawmakers and, some say, could eventually mean higher taxes for all Beaufort County residents.
The bill, now pending in a state Senate committee, would void any county rule that requires trash to be dumped at a specific landfill. In Beaufort County's case, that's the Hickory Hill site in Jasper County, owned by Waste Management.
The bill's supporters say the intent is to create more free-market competition among trash haulers and landfills, leading to lower costs and better service for customers around the state.
But Beaufort County leaders who oppose the bill say that because there is no other nearby landfill for the county to use, the measure would deny the county an important bargaining tool with Waste Management and possibly lead to higher taxes for county residents.
"In areas where there is no competition, like Beaufort County, the bill protects the monopolies," said Rep. Weston Newton, R-Bluffton, an immediate past chairman of Beaufort County Council. "(Letting counties have a say in where trash goes) promotes competition in Beaufort County rather than lessening it."
Lawmakers representing Beaufort County are split over the bill, which passed the House last month by an overwhelming majority.
Newton and Rep. Bill Herbkersman, R-Bluffton, voted against it.
Voting for it were Rep. Shannon Erickson, R-Beaufort, and Rep. Andy Patrick, R-Hilton Head Island.
Russ Hightower, spokesman for Waste Management, said there are no plans to raise the county's dumping rate.
"Nothing in this bill is going to make us increase or decrease rates," Hightower said. "Our pricing is and is going to be a fair, open, market-based approach. This bill has nothing to do with rates."
Gary Kubic, Beaufort County administrator, and other county leaders say Hickory Hill's monopoly already is hurting county residents who pay more in local property taxes for trash hauling than residents of other counties.
Beaufort County pays $29 a resident per year to haul trash to Hickory Hill, according to county solid waste manager Jim Minor. That does not include the extra collection fee charged to those who live in municipalities. And some residents of unincorporated Beaufort County contract directly with trash pickup companies and also pay a fee on top of the county tax.
Meanwhile, those in most other state counties pay $25 to $30, Minor said.
"People don't realize they're already tied into Hickory Hill and it's costing them," Kubic said.
Beaufort County leaders say they have considered building a large transfer facility, where waste could be stored temporarily and then trucked to a landfill farther away than Hickory Hill. That has helped keep Hickory Hill's rates in check, some say, and is prudent given that the landfill is expected to reach its capacity in 2016.
The bill's passage would eliminate that bargaining chip, opponents argue, ending the county's say in where trash is sent and giving Waste Management the upper hand in setting rates, according to Kubic. It could also impact the county's long-term decision on whether to set up a transfer facility, because the county would not be able to direct trash to the transfer site or to a specific landfill.
Waste Management's Hightower said the bill does not prevent the county from building a transfer station and hauling trash to the landfill of its choosing after its contract with Waste Management ends in a few years.
But, he warns, that could cost residents more.
"If this legislation is not passed, counties will have the authority ... to force residents, businesses and industries to use county-owned facilities, even when there is a more competitive and preferred option available in the private sector," he said.
Patrick, who voted for the bill, said he appreciates why Newton and some other local legislators voted against it.
"But from my perspective, government should not be in the business of setting up transfer stations for trash to go to one place, then to a final resting place so to speak," he said. "Let's get government out of the business of dealing with trash and let the free market work."
The bill will move to the Senate, where it will be taken up by a committee that includes Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort.
Davis said he has set up meetings with landfill representatives and county leaders to learn more before he decides how to vote. But his initial inclination is to side with Waste Management and the other waste companies backing the bill.
"It's fair to say, I have a very strong bias against any type of government-created monopoly," Davis said.
If the bill passes the committee, it heads to the Senate floor for debate. If it passes the Senate, it would need Gov. Nikki Haley's signature to become law.

Or – "An Interesting Take On The Anti-Hero…"
There's pretty much no question that Teth Adam is a bad man. Principled, disciplined, even honorable in his own way, but still the kind of man who would tear a fellow human being apart to make a philosophical point. The loss of his family has damaged him, and the real tragedy is that his own actions keep robbing him of surrogate families, (the Marvel family first, then the JSA, then Isis and Osiris) as if the scars from losing his first family have caused him to repeat his worst moment over and over throughout his life. At the end of 52, Billy Batson stripped Adam of his powers and his kingdom, and left him to wander alone. We know that by the time of Countdown, Black Adam has been repowered (or at least someone who LOOKS like him has) and has loaned his considerable abilities to Mary Marvel. But what happened to Teth during the missing months? The answer, it seems is as byzantine as it is brutal…
Previously, on Black Adam: When his life with the Justice Society of America went sour, Black Adam went to ground, overthrowing the ruthless dictator in charge of Kahndaq, the country where his homeland had been centuries ago. Despite his villainous history, Adam made a popular leader, and the JSA's attempt to overthrow him was resisted by the very population they thought they were freeing. When Lex Luthor, The Calculator, Talia al Ghul, Doctor Psycho and friends assembled their Secret Society, they recruited Adam to be a member of the central core of the team. Unfortunately for Adam, this was less out of respect than out of a need for a native of Earth-S to power a strangely familiar dimension-breaking machine. The founder of the society wasn't the former DCU president, but actually ALEXANDER Luthor of Earth-3, passing himself as his counterpart from our Earth. Black Adam's role became much blurrier during 52, as his dark nature was tempered by his beloved bride Isis, so much so that he empowered a young boy as his mentor and settled into happiness. When an attack by the Four Horsemen of Apokalips nearly cost him his life, Isis gave up her own to save her beloved Teth-Adam, and Adam's grief turns into a whirlwind of super-powered murderous rage that ended with hundreds of thousands dead and Adam not only powerless, but with his mind entirely wiped of the word that allowed his magic change. Left powerless, a wanted fugitive, Adam has no choice but to change his looks… the HARD way.
Adam's goading causes Tamir to lash out, smashing his fist into his king's face with bone-breaking force. His identity concealed by the mass of swollen bruises, Adam tells his men how proud he is of them, beating him even though their instincts told them not to. He tells them that they can now take the next step towards their greater glory, whatever that may be. At the same time, the Justice Society of America (Doctor Mid-Nite, Wildcat, Mr. Terrific and Atom-Smasher) travel to the middle-east to survey the damage wreaked by Adam's actions and perhaps track down the man himself…
As much as I hate racial slurs, I like Wildcat's part of this conversation. He's a bit ashamed to slip back into the old vernacular, and knows that he's in the wrong, but he's also an unapologetic man of the 40's. It's nice to see a hero showing his faults, and also working to correct them… The foursome lands in Bialya, devastated by Adam's attacks, only to find a slavering mob gathered around the body of Black Adam, hung by his ankles and beaten to death. Atom-Smasher forgets their low-profile mission, growing giant and dispersing the crowd, while Mr. Terrific scans the body (and the crowd curses them all for interfering.)
They continue their goodwill tour, not realizing that Black Adam isn't far away at all. In fact, he's at the border checkpoint between Bialya and Kahndaq, trying to cross over into his old homeland. Passing by a poster of his own old visage, it's obvious that Adam's plan has at least made him unrecognizable. "What happened to your face?" questions a U.N. soldier, and Adam spits venomously, "That bastard Black Adam is what happened to my face…"
Hmm… never underestimate the power of overkill, I guess. Successfully gaining admission, Adam waits for his men, using the shadows as cover, until they've all made it. A few nights later, they make their move, assaulting the tomb of Osiris and Isis in the night, killing all the security troops with knife and cane, then making a beeline for their objective: the body of Isis. "They tried to keep me from you, my love. But they have failed."
It's uncertain how long this story is after 52, but apparently at least a few months have passed… Adam gathers her body and puts her in his backpack, but a sudden burst of gunfire alerts them that all is not right. Adam and his boys return fire, but it's obvious that they're about to be cut to pieces. Teth Adam isn't going to be stopped from his objective by something as trivial as a little death, and orders his men to throw themselves to the wolves to save his plan…
Black Adam escapes, but his loyal subjects are all killed, and the mysterious troops sent to gather Black Adam check the bodies to make sure that Teth is among them… Whomever they're working for, they make a point of getting gone before the U.N. troops arrive, and soon after the JSA. Mr. Terrific's t-spheres confirm the presence of Teth Adam from fingerprint evidence, but they're still unsure of his overall goal. What possible reason could he have for stealing the body of his dead wife?
Uh oh… Atom-Smasher, you may remembers, was once part of Black Adam's liberating force, and nearly ended his heroic career because of it. In fact, since I haven't seen him post-One-Year-Later, I'm wondering what's in Albert's future… I'm also wondering what the deal is with that ring, and if Adam got all of Isis' body. Some weeks later, we rejoin Black Adam in the Himalayas, having killed and eaten poor Tamir to survive a fierce blizzard. He's single-minded, I'll give him that. He climbs upward, through the wind and snow, sometimes surviving by the barest of margins…
Finding the blossom (which, if I'm not mistaken, was seen in 'Batman Returns') proves that he's reached his destination: the hidden Lazarus pit of Ra's Al Ghul. Smiling for the first time in weeks, Black Adam gently places her various bones in the glowing green fluid, silently praying for the return of his beloved. Now, I'm no expert, and certainly this could be wrong, but I don't recall anyone being resurrected when they're this far gone. I mean, she's an incomplete series of desiccated bones! Luckily for Adam, despite my doubts, magic is magic, and Adam's eyes grow wide…
She's baaaack… I actually like this point, as I felt like Isis has much more potential than was actually channeled in 52. Sure, she had her moments, and she died heroically to save the man she loves, but I would have liked to see more of her. Assuming this isn't a delusion on Adam's part, having Isis back should prove interesting. We end the story there, but the next issue box warns that "Isis and Adam are reunited… but for how long?" It's that little Bobby Heenan moment that makes me wonder if she's really actually even here…
Even so, this is a first issue that many books only WISH they had. Black Adam, even without any Marvel powers, shows that he's a force to be reckoned with, showing courage and resourcefulness (as well as an ability to draw followers that shouldn't ever be underestimated.) Even with the heroic JSAers on his tail, part of me wants to forgive Adam, much as Atom-Smasher seems to want to. He attacked Bialya out of revenge, and though logically I know that his actions were psychotically over-the-top, I imagine the kind of rage I would have if such things happened to my family, and then factor in super-powers… His actions are understandable. Adam is a fascinating character because he never questions his own ethics, never even stops to wonder if his principles are correct, he KNOWS what he believes is true, and acts, and even without superhuman abilities, shows a tenacity that's perversely admirable. Pete Tomasi keeps the character as fascinating as Geoff Johns did in 52 and JSA, and the art by Doug Mahnke is beautiful, even when what he's drawing isn't. Black Adam: The Dark Age #1 ranks 4 out of 5 stars, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, something that surprises me, given my distaste for Adam's brief Countdown appearance. If you're worried about the continuity like I was, don't let it keep you away from the book. Even if it turns out that they can't clear up the timelines, this story is well-done enough to make you forget it…

A blue poppy in Batman Returns? No. Batman Begins.
I don't thinks he's actually back; if she is, it violates all kinds of stuff previously said about Lazarus Pits; you're supposed to be violently insane upon emerging, for example, and it doesn't reanimate people who have been dead for that long.
Uh-oh, nobody ever rises from the Lazarus Pit unchanged.
(Atom-Smasher also aided Adam's escape at the end of WWIII.)
Re: Lazarus Pits–I believe the rule is you come out insane if you don't go in completely dead. Also, Ra's once offered to restore Batman's parents via the Pit, and I'm sure they were in worse shape than Isis. (Either way, it's preposterous well beyond comic-book standards.)
…Oh, hey, yet another DC comic with cannibalism. Don't go into the DC editors' conference room alone, kids. There's an oven and a spice rack in there.
I love Ted's sort of calm and controlled impatience. He doesn't seem to care much for investigating or for what happens to Teth, but he's more than willing to relax and wait for his chance to break some jaws.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas football team returned to the practice turf inside Willard and Pat Walker Pavilion during Tuesday's workout. It was the Razorbacks' first practice since Saturday's scrimmage. With one week of practice remaining before the Red-White Spring Game, the coaching staff is looking for progression and an intensity head coach Bobby Petrino said was lacking from Tuesday's practice.
"We're taking steps forward," Petrino said. "But unfortunately, today I thought we didn't practice with the same intensity that we need after a good, hard scrimmage and a couple of days off."
After watching the film from Arkansas' third scrimmage Saturday, Petrino saw improvements from his team. He pointed out the good play of offensive line Wade Grayson and the development of the connection between the quarterbacks and receivers. On defense, he was pleased with the pressure from the front line.
"Our execution was a lot better in the scrimmage," Petrino said. "Offensively, our timing was better in the passing game when the quarterback was getting the ball out of his hand and the receivers were open. Defensively, we still got some good pass rush and got some sacks.
"I thought Antwain Robinson probably had his best scrimmage. He's showing in the pass rush and helped us there. Inside, (Malcolm) Sheppard is giving us a great effort. We just have to get better at our technique inside.
Running back Chip Gregory, still making the transition from linebacker, returned to practice after missing time with an injury. Petrino is looking forward to seeing Gregory in some game situations against a live defense.
"It's good to see a big back (in the backfield)," Petrino said. "He's pushing hard and trying to fight through it. It'll be nice if we can get him some work Saturday night in the Spring Game. He needs some live work—to get hit, to get knocked down—to see if he can do it four or five times in a row."
The Razorbacks will take a day off before getting back to the practice fields Thursday. The practice will be open to the public unless it is moved indoors in which case the workout will be closed due to space constraints inside Walker Pavilion.
Saturday's Red-White Spring Game is scheduled for a 6 p.m. start inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Log on to www.hogwired.com for more details and continued coverage of Arkansas football.

Ultra rare Kentucky Bourbons In Stock!
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year
This wonderful bourbon is bottled as close to barrel proof as possible. They add just a splash of our Kentucky limestone well-water when they empty the barrels for bottling. Thus, this whiskey is as smooth as any you will find.
Tasting Notes
See a rich, copper color. Smell enticingly sweet, spicy, caramel-nut-fudge aromas. Enjoy a fruity, medium-to full-bodied palate with intense dried fruit and toasted nuts notes. Each sip finishes with a very long, bold wave of peppery brown spices, floral honey and charred barrel flavors that balance the weight of the alcohol. It's a big, bold, aged bourbon that has great balance for its high proof and flavor.
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year
Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as "nectar." The 12 years of aging and medium proof seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep.
Tasting Notes
See a brilliant, amber-orange color. Smell luscious, complex toffee. Taste a round, supple entry, leading to a dry, expansive, medium body. Enjoy notes of caramel, nuts, and brown spices with a lengthy, enveloping finish. It's an outrageously smooth and decadent bourbon.
Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 year
No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging, but this bourbon does it with style. "Pappy" Van Winkle was a true character. This bourbon, like "Pappy," is full of personality that makes it a very special whiskey, and some might argue, one of their best bourbons. It has been put in the class of a fine after-dinner cognac.
Tasting Notes
See a dark amber and dark orange cast. This full bodied bourbon is reminiscent of oiled leather, smoke, minerals, coffee and cigar boxes. Take in the endless ranges of aromatics and flavors. Enjoy the infinite finish.
Eagle Rare
Eagle Rare Bourbon Whiskey is masterfully crafted and carefully aged for no less than ten years. Every barrel is discriminately selected to offer consistent flavor but with a seemingly individual personality. Eagle Rare is a bourbon that lives up to its name with its lofty, distinctive taste experience.
Tasting Notes
The nose is complex, with aromas of toffee, hints of orange peel, herbs, honey, leather and oak. The taste is bold, dry and delicate with notes of candied almonds and very rich cocoa. The finish is dry and lingering.
W. L. Weller 12 year
As part of the wheated bourbon family, this twelve year old W.L. Weller is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons. This offering is a smooth, easy-going and balanced offering with a beautiful deep bronze color.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet. Long, oaky, and intensely smooth finish.

MUMBAI: Ajay Devgn starrer, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji's (DTBHJ) release has been postponed back to its original release date.
Businessofcinema.com had earlier reported that the film's release date had been pre-poned to 26 January, 2011, but there has been a change once again and the film will now be releasing on its original release date, 28 January, 2011.
Speaking to Businessofcinema.com, director Madhur Bhandarkar said, "We had thought of pre-poning the release date to 26 January since it's our Republic Day, but we have decided not to do so now since we are releasing the film overseas too. We thought Friday is a better day since all releases happen on Fridays. We will now release the film on Friday, 28 January, 2011."
DTBHJ is a romantic comedy starring Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shruti Hassan, Shazahn Padamsee and Shraddha Das. The film is a romantic comedy directed by Madhur Bhandarkar and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.

The Construction Management (CM) Program at UH is reaching great heights, which is not surprising as student enrollment in this emerging department ranks the second highest among all of the departments in the College of Technology. Rapidly becoming a rising star among CM programs throughout the United States, the program has become one of the nation's largest in a short period at a growth rate of more than 100% since 2007.
Experienced faculty with strong connections to major commercial and industrial construction companies, and the focus on process and industrial construction have been influential in the CM program's success. CM faculty brings "real world" experience into the classroom through project case studies, field trips and presentations from leaders in the industry.
Working with the UH Facilities, Planning and Construction Department which provided scheduling support, Professor Lana Coble's experience was tapped as a project leader for the January 8 demolition of the MD Anderson Cancer Center HMB/Prudential Life Insurance Building at the Texas Medical Center. The 21-story, 500,000-square-foot landmark, on the current Texas Medical Center campus, opened in 1952 and was the third largest to be imploded in the state. It will be replaced by a new clinical building that will connect to the Duncan Building and Mays Clinic. Implosion is a controlled demolition that occurs in a predetermined sequence to minimize physical impact and control the delivery of building debris to the ground.
Although the actual implosion did not take long— only 15 seconds — the preparation and coordination stretched over a two-year period. "The implosion of this historic building was one of the most fascinating projects that I have completed as a consultant. As with all major construction projects, mutual trust and strong collaboration, are keys to their success," said Professor Coble. An immense coordination effort, 39 neighboring property owners and seven regulatory agencies were required to give their approval before finalizing the plans for the implosion. The MD Anderson Cancer Center, Vaughn Construction, Broaddus & Associates, CDI Engineering Group, Sabre Demolition, and all of the neighboring institutions were instrumental to the project's planning and ultimate implementation.
"I am teaching because I believe in mentorship and want to foster the development of future construction professionals. My career has been extremely rewarding and by coming to UH, that reward has just increased exponentially," Professor Coble said.

I know I've been one of a few lone voices crying out in the wind for the last 4 years or so but every year, it just gets absolutely worse and worse. Devs, why do you not care about the PC platform? Do you not work hard on it and hope to make a profit? Mypark is downright unplayable now. You got aholes Legend 5 who have under 100 games on their records. You've got guys straight up taking your spot cause they're "legend 5". You've got dudes with jetpacks. You've got dudes with skateboards who bought the game yesterday. Don't even get me started with the mascots. And the chinese hackers with boxes for names. Now I don't care what you look like - hell play as Godzilla for all I care. But I CANNOT EFFING face another 9 ft center who's faster than me and takes half court 3's. Half the damn park is cheating at this point. You got noobs just flat out hitting bank shot 3's from half court. Someone must have recently released more and more powerful hacks because it's getting worse. If I'm so much as half a millisecond late on coverage, it's a 3. I'm a good player - My win pct is 70%, win 2 for every 1 loss. But this is utter bs. Every game, we're already at a severe disadvantage. Playing uphill every single game. We're basically allowed zero mistakes to win. They can just randomly do whatever and still win.
I know this rant is going to fall on deaf ears. Don't worry Devs, 2k will get my money next year. I'm just gonna buy the console version. So, don't bother fixing anything. In fact, I suggest you release a PC patch that make every single damn player hit full court shots. Nuke the game. Because it's already shit.
