Grand Piano (2014) Film Review, a movie directed by Eugenio Mira and starring Elijah Wood, John Cusack, Kerry Bishé, Alex Winter, Don McManus, Tamsin Egerton, and Allen Leech.
Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood) was one of only two pianists capable of playing a near impossible piece (to play). The other was the composer of the piece, who also happened to be Tom's mentor. After failing to execute the composition, in concert, Tom went into reclusion. After five years, in tribute to his his now deceased mentor, Tom was set to make another live performance attempt at the nearly impossible piece. Unfortunately for Tom, the second time around was to be much more difficult than the first.
Complicating matters was press coverage. Tom had become infamous as a genius recluse, out to overcome severe stage freight, and redeem the singular episode responsible for his condition. Tom's problem wasn't stage freight. Tom, like a lot of gifted individuals, was a perfectionist, and perfectionists don't take failure very well. The press narrative, and the excitement it generated among devotees, added much more pressure to the affair than Tom was prepared for.
Complicating matters further was his wife, Emma (Kerry Bishé), an international sensation. Anticipation of her presence had become a driving force behind the media spotlight on his performance. Tom had become famous by association, the performance now set to determine whether he would reclaim his own fame, or live deeper within Emma's shadow.
Well, as if things had not seemed complicated enough, when last minute jitters apparently cost him his notes, the head usher (Alex Winter) brought them to him; only now they included the threat "Play one wrong note and you die."
Surely, perfection is easy enough to attain when there is no pressure involved; so now there was a man with a sniper rifle, threatening both him and his wife, eventually becoming a voice in his ear (an earpiece was provided), and the usher clearly in on it. All meant to either fulfill Tom's destiny, honor his mentor's legacy, win a bet, or some other angle that made Tom's mastering of his mentor's work – on his mentor's grand piano – worth the trouble.
Grand Piano was a single set, real time, and intimate suspense thriller, in the tradition of Hitchcock-lite films, like Phone Booth. Its intimacy came from a maintained focus on Tom's interaction with, and reactions to, sniper Clem's (John Cusack) voice. Emma would be kept at a distance; left as both the prize, and consequence, at the end of Clem's scope. The usher served to ensure that neither Emma, nor her otherwise useless social climber friends would intrude on that focus.
The heist aspect of Grand Piano was an inside job, this being made fairly plain, early on; but by the time Tom had become the central insider, one of the drivers of the film was the question of how many conspirators were involved, and the nature of their detailed involvement with that particular performance, on that particular piano.
Elijah Wood, mostly having the screen to himself, was almost typecast for this role. Just because we've seen his brand of wide-eyed anxiety-turned-fury time and time again, however, made it no less fitting, here.
While Victor Reyes' music was entirely at the disposal of Eugenio Mira's direction, the score (as represented by Tom's orchestral accompaniment) became the only real reason to take the action seriously (as I suspect not everyone would, soundtrack or not). Unfortunately, my idea of taking the film "seriously," in this case, might be a little off the scale.
Grand Piano could be considered a throwback to a time when silent movies came with live music. With the advent of 'talkies,' came the pre-show: either a newsreel or a short. Into this period came the animated shorts, and the writing on the wall, for this film, as far as I was concerned. You see, Grand Piano, even at its most absurd, still benefited from what seemed like choreographed chaos. As a huge fan of Chuck Jones, and the Looney Toons era, in general, growing up, it was impossible for me to not think of such absurd masterpieces as What's Opera, Doc? or Rabbit of Seville.
Not what Grand Piano's creative team was going for, I'm fairly certain, but the notion allowed me to appreciate the film at its most ridiculous. There were technical issues, but I doubt casual viewers would notice or care. More likely, issue will be taken with Tom's actions – at the piano, off stage, or just going back and forth – as well as the over the top climax.
By that point, Grand Piano had become a battle of wills between two men with real control issues. I could describe how easily the Daffy versus Donald scene, from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, overlays with the action, here… but I'm not going to. When Tom's desperate need to get a handle on his plight got the better of him, he opted to defy Clem, gambling on a simple notion that no perfectionist performer would ever seriously resort to.
No one in the audience could tell whether he played the correct note or not; the difference between the finale they heard, versus the finale that was intended.
Tom's act of defiance did succeed in drawing Clem out into the open; but somehow, control freak Tom failed to consider just how unhinged a loss of control can make persons of this kind. Particularly, when they start off with a gun, and murderous intent.
Once on screen, John Cusack presented all the menace of… well, John Cusack; but I think that was the point. He wasn't playing against type – he, like the usher, was playing the part of the killer you would not be able to pick out of a crowd, or see coming even if he walked up to you in a parking lot. The idea was that , whatever his back story, Clem was an inscrutable quantity, and thus capable of anything.
It would have been insane for Tom to think Clem capable of letting bygones be bygones. If any quarter was to come his way, it would be for the sake of a more sanitized dispatching by his tormentor. There really was no other way out for Tom, beyond the course he took, and Clem should have accounted for this. Then again, it seemed Clem really did not handle off-script moments very well; having an impulsive reactionary's lack of foresight, when taken away from meticulous long play planning, and left on the fly.
Again, the control freak, Tom simply had to make more sense of what he had been made a part of. He performed the given task for his own gratification. One good note produced another, as we were left with the sound of the piano's well guarded secret being released. With the performance over, and Tom's fears no longer a factor, the unanswered questions, left at the end of the film, were simply beyond the scope of the film's premise.
Ultimately, there could be one of two take aways from Grand Piano. On its face, the plot was unnecessarily complex, at best; entirely unnecessary, at worst. To the casual viewer, the obvious question was likely a matter of how hard would it have been for Clem to secure and dismantle the piano, and whether a hostage/ murder conspiracy was really the most cost effective option.
On the other hand, Grand Piano could have been regarded as a singular performance piece, with the plot conforming to the music, thus making both the concert performance, its arrangement, and the elaborate plot built around it, integral to the film. I suppose, from this perspective, the whole affair could have been considered a high-brow music video, and not too many music videos make sense on mute.
While I acknowledge the film's departures from reality, regarding plot, characterizations, and technical matters, I have to admit my enjoyment of the experience, albeit for the silliest of reasons. Not that the film took itself too seriously (utilizing the showbiz standard "break a leg," for ironic purposes, had to count for something); but the fact that I got a perverse thrill from the melodious madcap memories, it elicited, cannot simply be tossed aside for the sake of mainstream, or insider perspective criticism.
I enjoyed it, for my own personal reasons; but, assuming Grand Piano was not made with the concerto minded in mind, it will likely confound, frustrate, or just plain disappoint casual viewers.
Of course, some allowance should be made for the casual viewer not recognizing the difference between the ending they saw, versus the ending that was intended….

Albert A. Baillis
Acting Dean, College of Law 1975-1977 – Ella A. and Ernest H. Fisher Chair 1975-1985
Professor Baillis is a native of Cleveland. He fought with distinction in Italy, France, and Germany during World War II. He recieved a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1948 from Case Western Reserve University and his law degree from that university in 1950. He was graduated from Case Western Reserve Law School in the top ten percent of his class and was inducted in the Order of teh Coif.
After admission to the Ohio bar in 1950, Professor Baillis worked for the Bureau of Code Revision in Columbus until 1952. Thereafter he engaged in the private practice of law in Cleveland prior to joining the legal department of the New York Central Railroad in 1954. In 1956, Professor Baillis joined the law faculty of Youngstown University where he began his 35 year career as a law professor.
In 1957, Professor Baillis joined the law faculty at Ohio Northern where he rapidly advanced to Professor of Law in 1962. During this period, he spent three summers as a graduate student at New York University which awarded him a Master of Laws degree in 1962.
Through his 35 year career as law professor, Professor Baillis was an outstanding classroom teacher who combined a sincere, friendly, disposition with an ability to critically and objectivly analyze evolving legal principles. His devotion to the Cleveland sports teams is legendary and has endeared him to generations of students as has his use in the classroom of mythical characters such as "Rodney" and "Rowena." During his career at Ohio Nothern, other law schools sought to lure Professor Baillis away, but he rmained loyal to Ohio Northern and to the Ada community.
Baillis served as part-time County Court Judge from 1975 to 1979, during which time he recieved two awards from the Supreme Court of Ohio recognizing his excellence in judicial office. He has served as President of the League of Ohio Law Schools, President of the Ada Kiawanis Club and Editor of the Real Property Section Newsletter of the Ohio State Bar Association. He has served on numerous university and law school committees - chairing the important law school Promition-Retention Committee for several years. He recieved the University's Faculty Award in 1982, and was named as the first holder of the Fisher Chair in 1984.
Professor Baillis also served the university as Acting Dean of the College of Law from 1975 to 1977, following a period of turmoil in the law school caused by the death of a faculty memeber and the resignation of the dean. Professor Baillis restored calm to the situation and, under his leadership, the faculty of the College of Law addressed the challenges presented by a growing student body and an expanding faculty.
Upon his retirement, Professor Baillis was named Professor Emeritus in 1993.

In one of the seniors housing industry's most widely anticipated deals of the year, a joint venture of Emeritus Corp., Blackstone Real Estate Advisors VI LP and Columbia Pacific Advisors LLC has provided the only bid in the Sunwest bankruptcy auction. The announcement came Tuesday.
The joint venture was formed specifically to acquire up to 149 communities formerly operated by an affiliate of Sunwest Management based in Salem, Ore. The final court order from U.S. District Court Judge Michael Hogan authorizing the joint venture's purchase and sale agreement is expected on Monday, May 17.
"This transaction represents a huge opportunity for Emeritus, and we are pleased to again partner with Blackstone in what I believe is a significant milestone for the company," said Dan Baty, chairman and co-CEO of Emeritus, in a press release. "We've worked long and hard to make this deal happen, and although we have a significant amount of work ahead of us, we are extremely pleased to have it finally come together," Baty added.
Seattle-based Emeritus Corp. (NYSE: ESC) is a national provider of assisted living and Alzheimer's care services to seniors. The transaction includes up to 149 communities with a total estimated purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion, which is comprised of debt assumption of approximately $1 billion. The balance includes a combination of cash and membership interests.
The purchase and sale agreement allows the existing Sunwest investors the option of rolling over their ownership interests into the joint venture in the aggregate amount of up to 49% of the joint venture's total equity. That amount is expected to equal up to $167.6 million. Blackstone will contribute approximately 80% of the remaining equity requirements with the balance split evenly between Columbia Pacific and Emeritus.
Since existing Sunwest investors now have a greater opportunity to participate in the joint venture, Emeritus anticipates that its initial contribution will be a minimum of $17.4 million, including other contributions for working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and would increase to as much as $34.2 million, if there is no participation by existing Sunwest investors, representing a 5% to 10% equity position in the joint venture.
Emeritus will enter into agreements with the joint venture to manage the portfolio of communities for a fee equal to 5% of collected gross revenues. In addition, the joint venture agreement allows Emeritus a right of first opportunity to purchase the communities or the joint venture interests at fair value, and includes a profit sharing provision for Emeritus if the joint venture's internal rate of return exceeds established thresholds.
The 149 communities are comprised of approximately 12,165 units consisting of 3,332 independent living units and 8,833 assisted living/memory care units. Annual revenues for the 149 properties are currently $344 million. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2010.

When it comes to looking for hints on where mobile commerce is heading, marketers should look towards South Korea.
Not only is the country home to Samsung, the world's largest supplier of smartphones, but Koreans have shown themselves to be rapid adopters of mobile technology.
Seoul is the eleventh biggest city on the planet with more than 25m people in the greater metropolitan area, most of whom have a smart device. Increasingly they look to use those devices to shop.
In 2013 62.6% of Koreans used their smartphone to shop, up from just 11.9% two years previously.
Fast adoption of 4G and in-store WiFi opportunities are driving this new approach to retail and offer businesses the chance to engage with shoppers in different and really exciting ways.
This was seen most clearly in the much-lauded Tesco HomePlus virtual store in a Seoul subway that became the benchmark of multichannel retail. Commuters were able to virtually shop for goods through a phone app and have the goods delivered to their homes.
Tesco is not the only retailer to spot the possibilities for mobile commerce. South Korea's largest player, Emart, has used mobile as a way to expand its core business, improve the shopping experience and deepen its relationship with customers.
When Emart launched its own Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) business, it wanted to offer customers cheaper mobile service, but also help shoppers find deals in its huge stores and make the in-store experience more fun.
Emart initially looked to use WiFi as a way of interacting with customers, however testing soon proved that it lacked precision when spotting exact locations indoors, making indoor-navigation impossible. GPS has similar limitations. So Emart turned to VLC (Visual Light Communication).
VLC utilises the LED lighting in the store to create an accurate in-door navigation system that smartphones respond to. Customers downloaded an app, settled their smartphone in a cradle on their shopping trolley and followed the directions. When they reached a promotional hotspot an electronic coupon displayed on their device.
As shopping apps improve, retailers are starting to realign their loyalty, promotion and even payments through the mobile device. This in turn is driving the use of mobile as a primary device for purchasing.
Research by the Korean Chambers of Commerce found a decreased 'fall-out' ratio of people who search product information using smartphones but purchase via computer or in-store.
It fell from 70.5% in 2012 to 66.4% last year. Those who bought at offline shops after searching with smartphones also fell, from 38.5% to 29.0%.
It is a trend that can only continue, and another reason why the eyes of the global retail industry are on Korea to see what it does next.

Just the other day I had to get a birthday card and I thought, "Why do I have to waste 3 minutes standing in line to checkout when it took 15 seconds to find the card?" There has to be a better way!"
I knew that I should just be able to walk up and tap something, like my credit card, to something. Then, I would be in and out. I never thought about mobile. So the technology exists to make this type of thing happen?
This reminds me of the movie "The Graduate," except instead of "invest in plastic," as the advice, it's "mobile!"
Anyone have any idea why they didn't use beacon technology?
Hi Daniel,
Korea tends to develop their own technology platforms rather than using foreign ones, with the pros (often ahead of the pack on mobile) and the cons (behind for website infrastructures) ...
Also, Beacon seems driven by Apple.
Why should they use it is my question ?

Hypermart USA
|Test project subsidiary
Project discontinued
Buildings closed, sold, or converted to Walmart

Hypermart USA was a demonstrator project operated by Walmart in the 1980s and 1990s, which attempted to combine groceries and general merchandise under one roof at a substantial discount. The hypermart concept was modeled after earlier efforts from other retailers, notably French retailer Carrefour, and the Midwestern US retailer Meijer.
All stores used a floorplan that exceeded 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2). They featured a mini-mall, food court, arcade, bank, and other kiosk operations. The ones in Kansas City and Topeka featured McDonald's, Subway, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in their food courts.[1]
The prototype did not go as well as planned. Walmart was unaccustomed to operating such massive stores, and an economic recession had brought on a decline in retail sales. Although the stores were profitable, sales projections were too optimistic and the company did not anticipate the great heating and cooling costs, the resistance of customers towards parking and congestion issues.
The first Walmart Supercenter, which used a floorplan in the 125,000 sq ft (11,600 m2) range, was opened in 1988 in Washington, Missouri.[2] As the Supercenter proved to be a much more profitable experiment, Walmart renamed the stores "Wal-Mart's Hypermart USA" in April 1990, and eventually began either converting them to Supercenter operations or closing them.
The Hypermart USA concept was officially discontinued in 2000, when Walmart announced it was converting the Kansas City Hypermart USA into a Walmart Supercenter.[3] The former Kansas City store, then a Supercenter, ultimately closed in January 2007. The original Hypermart in Garland, Texas closed in May 2008. The Topeka, Kansas, hypermarket, located on Southwest Wanamaker Road, is still open, although its exterior has been remodeled as well as the Arlington, Texas, location on S Cooper Street.
Garland, Texas[edit]
Garland, Texas (December 28, 1987) This location was converted several years later to a Walmart supercenter and lost its Hypermart USA branding. By May 2008, Walmart announced it would replace this store with a smaller supercenter nearby. In October 2017, it was announced that the city of Garland would buy the vacant site with intentions of redeveloping it as a "gateway" to the city.
Topeka, Kansas[edit]
Topeka, Kansas (January 1988)
As of April 2018, the Topeka, Kansas Hypermart USA store is still operating as a Walmart Supercenter.[4][5]
Arlington, Texas[edit]
Arlington, Texas (August 1988)
As of March 2018, the Arlington, Texas Hypermart is still operating as a Walmart Supercenter.[6]
Kansas City, Missouri[edit]
The Kansas City, Missouri location opened on February 20, 1990. Located in just northeast of Bannister Mall in the Benjamin Plaza development, the South Kansas City store was the last Hypermart USA to open. It was the largest of the four Hypermart stores at 256,637 sq ft. Described as Walmart's "mall without walls," the Kansas City Hypermart included a number of restaurants and specialty outlets in addition to the combination grocery and general merchandise discount store.[7]
- Food court with seating for 200 people, with quick service restaurants including Taco Johns, Corn Dog 7, V's Pasta Parlor, Torre's Pizzera, Oasis (ice cream, shakes, and frozen yogurt), Subway, and McDonald's.

In May 2000, Walmart announced it would spend $4.9 million to convert the Kansas City Hypermart USA to a Walmart Supercenter. Walmart indicated that it was converting its last remaining Hypermart, because the stores were too big and too inconvenient for customers. Walmart explained that the effort offer everything under one roof was more of a European style of retail, and it was overwhelming to the American shopper. Kansas City Councilman Chuck Eddy claimed that there were other reasons for the failure of the Kansas City Hypermart. Eddy cited a high volume of complaints from residents about the store, including time-consuming lines at checkout counters, trash and runaway carts in the parking lot, dirty restrooms, and overall messy conditions and poor management. Walmart wanted to build a new Supercenter store in South Kansas City on State Line Road near 135th Street, so city leaders pressured Walmart to make improvements to the conditions of the Hypermart location before they would be given approval to move forward with the new South Kansas City store. At the time, Walmart said it would cost almost $5 million to renovate the 270,000 sq ft (25,000 m2) Hypermart store. Walmart moved forward with the renovation and conversion of the Hypermart store, along with bringing in new management to address the concerns of poor management at the store. In 2006, Walmart began construction on a new Walmart Supercenter on the site of the former Blue Ridge Mall. The new Supercenter was to be the first of Walmart's new "high-efficiency" stores. As a result of the new Supercenters on State Line Road and the former Blue Ridge Mall site, along with declining business and a growing number of retail closings in Bannister Mall and Benjamin Plaza, Walmart announced that it would close former Hypermart store in mid-January 2007. The 400 employees were offered jobs at the new Blue Ridge store and other area Walmart stores. After 7 years of vacancy, the former Kansas City Hypermart was demolished in 2014 along with much of the surrounding vacant retail developments as part of a large redevelopment project.[3][8][9][10]

Robert Pattinson Covers Entertainment Weekly
Robert Pattinson pretties up the cover of this week's edition of Entertainment Weekly.
The 22-year-old British actor and his blockbuster film, Twilight, are taking center stage in the issue. The movie made over $70 million at the box office opening weekend – a record for director Catherine Hardwicke, who is now the only female director in history to have a film gross that high.
As Kristen Stewart and Robert take a mini-break for the Thanksgiving holiday, Robert is showing a bit of the rebel in him. He shared, "'I cannot wait to cut my hair. It's so annoying! I was at a photo shoot the other day, and people were saying, 'They say we can't touch your hair. You have trademarked hair!' No, I don't."
Be sure to pick up your own copy of EW this weekend!

NBA Live 13 Releasing This Fall EA Confirms, More Info Coming Monday
This isn't exactly a surprise but EA seems to have officially confirmed NBA Live 13. The question as to whether the game would drop wasn't as much of a question as what it would be called. As many of you know, NBA Elite 11 got the axe at the last second when EA Sports decided it didn't cut the mustard. Most folks were interested to see whether or not they would keep the elite name, go back to Live or come up with something brand new. It looks like the game is going back to the brand that definitely has name recognition, though not all of it good. In fact, that's the reason that EA Sports was going to change the name, they felt like the Live brand had taken too much of a hit over the past few years and was trying to start new. That didn't work. The game has taken a year off and hopefully that year has done it a lot of good, especially with all the issues that NBA 2K12 has had with freezing in My Player mode, freezing during the launch of the game, and other assorted issues. The sad part about it was that this was supposed to be the year that NBA 2K put a firm grip on the NBA simulation genre, but the multiple issues the game has suffered has not only left the door open for NBA Live 13 to get back into the mix, the issues have also driven away loyal players.
As far as how we found out about the game, it wasn't from a standard press release but rather from the most recent NBA #1 pick Kyrie Irving. Irving tweeted the news by saying
"In Orlando for #AllStar checking out the #FutureOfBasketball with @EASPORTSNBA. Get to see the new #NBALIVE13!"
After that I guess EA knew the cat was out of the bag and retweeted the tweet via their official EA Sports account. When Kotaku reached out to them for comment, EA Sports confirmed the return of the NBA Live brand and the game's fall release window saying "This fall we'll launch an all-new experience that captures the future of basketball with NBA Live 13. More to come soon." Irving then followed that up saying that more info would be coming via EA Sports' NBA Facebook page on Monday. For our part, we don't think this is an accident, with all the excitement generated by this weekends NBA All-Star game it's almost perfect timing for the announcement.

STYLE 101: correspondent, Taryn Hankerson serves up the dish!
In my preparing to attend the uniquely titled 'Day After Christmas Fashion Show,' getting dressed became a production within itself. Besides the fact that the weather produced a ton of rain outside, my night would've been more stressful if I wasn't told to "think Nylon," not as in stockings, but one of my favorite magazines; which saved me a lot of time putting on clothes. I worked my jean jacket with a pale pink, over sized scoop-neck shirt, slid on a pair of 'liquid leggings,' and wore my floral oxfords. But to my chagrin, when I arrived at the venue I stuck out like a sore thumb (lol), due to the high-vibrancy of my colorful attire. Outside of the immediate shock value, I got plenty of compliments on my outfit, especially my hat!
The mood inside the event was mellow, encompassing an older crowd, so no immaturity was allowed... that is, until the bubbly was poured =]
(Event guests)
Unlike most fashion shows, the after-party seemed to take place before the models strutted the runway, leaving most of the guests satisfied with a slight buzz; attendees also got to enjoy tasty treats that were served during the waiting period (the crab cakes were to die for). At around 10:00pm the show was ready to start, the first model came out and strutted her stuff, while some of the others did the same throughout.
The first set of looks were very girly... mini, short dresses- you know, the kind that show off our killer legs =]
Next up, the theme slightly changed into a more rocker feel but it was still sexy- think vampires at a disco, and right-on-cue, Lady Gaga's music played; in my opinion, the dresses were very 80's inspired.
Afterwards, a tropical vibe snuck up on us, which wasn't expected. I'm not sure if it flowed well with the rest of the show, but there it was.
Presented lastly was a vintage inspired wedding collection, which -in my opinion- stole the show, hands down!
Overall, the fashion show had its good and bad parts, some audience concerns were that a few of the models didn't 'sashay' as well as the others, and there were long pauses in-between runway changes; other than that, it was an ok show.
Here's some feedback from backstage (interview with model, Joelee):
...and here's some feedback from the audience (interview with VIP guest, Ms. Shakeen Walters):
Thanks to Anta, Ndeye Niang and the rest of the DACFS staff, there's lots more to look forward to during the holidays rather than just gifts under a tree... we are ready for next year's day after Christmas!

Dogs in space
Meet Laika, the first dog to fly into space and the very first living creature to be launched out of Earth's atmosphere.
All about Laika
Laika began her career as a space dog at the age of three. She was found roaming the streets as a stray in Moscow and was chosen to train for space flight because scientists believed that dogs from this area were well adjusted to extreme conditions. Dogs were also the preferred animal at the time to train for space missions as they were the most likely animal to be able to endure the endless hours of sitting still.
The first dog in space
Laika was one of three dogs who were trained by Russian scientists for the Sputnik 2 flight
on 3 November 1957. The other two dogs - Albina and Mushka - were used for other forms of space training, such as eating a special high-nutrition gel that would be their food for the duration of their space trip.
The space race
The launch of Sputnik 2 followed a month after the launch of Sputnik 1, which was the first man-made craft to be sent into orbit. The launch of both shuttles sparked the first of many spacecraft launches during the late '50s and '60s by Russia and the USA. This is often referred to as the 'space race'.
Sad, but true
It has been revealed only in recent years that Sputnik 2 had not yet developed the technology to de-orbit, meaning that Laika was never expected to survive the trip. Experts believe that Laika had actually passed away by the seventh hour on board the flight, from overheating. The good news is that in 2008 Russian officials acknowledged the huge sacrifice Laika made for Russian research and built a statue in her honour. The statue features a dog standing on a spaceship and sits at the research facility in Moscow.

The Nimbus 7 research-and-development satellite served as a stabilized, earth-oriented platform for the testing of advanced systems for sensing and collecting data in the pollution, oceanographic and meteorological disciplines. The polar-orbiting spacecraft consisted of three major structures: (1) a hollow torus-shaped sensor mount, (2) solar paddles, and (3) a control housing unit that was connected to the sensor mount by a tripod truss structure. Configured somewhat like an ocean buoy, Nimbus 7 was nearly 3.04 m tall, 1.52 m in diameter at the base, and about 3.96 m wide with solar paddles extended. The sensor mount that formed the satellite base housed the electronics equipment and battery modules. The lower surface of the torus provided mounting space for sensors and antennas. A box-beam structure mounted within the center of the torus provided support for the larger sensor experiments. Mounted on the control housing unit, which was located on top of the spacecraft, were sun sensors, horizon scanners, and a command antenna. The spacecraft spin axis was pointed at the earth. An advanced attitude-control system permitted the spacecraft's orientation to be controlled to within plus or minus 1 deg in all three axes (pitch, roll, and yaw). Eight experiments were selected: (1) limb infrared monitoring of the stratosphere (LIMS), (2) stratospheric and mesopheric sounder (SAMS), (3) coastal-zone color scanner (CZCS), (4) stratospheric aerosol measurement II (SAM II), (5) earth radiation budget (ERB), (6) scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), (7) solar backscatter UV and total ozone mapping spectrometer (SBUV/TOMS), and (8) temperature-humidity infrared radiometer (THIR). These sensors were capable of observing several parameters at and below the mesospheric levels. More details can be found in "The Nimbus 7 Users' Guide" (TRF B30045) and "Nimbus-7 Data Product Summary" (NASA RP-1215), available from NSSDC.

I've been working on upgrading my skills lately, getting all the proper tags and formatting correct. And moving towards XHTML at the same time. I'd validated all my files to HTML 4.01 Transitional, and then copied them all and changed the DTD to XHTML 1.0 Transitional so I could make sure I could validate there as well. I've found an odd bug that I thought I should point out to someone. In one file I have a lot of tables. The XHTML validator caught 8 problems that weren't caught in the HTML validator. 6 of those were the lack of ending tr tags, and 2 were missing >'s in the table tag. Yet this same file, with a different DTD validated fine in HTML 4.01! Such a bug makes me wonder if my other pages truly are valid :( suggestions please? Thanks!

Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Available under the brand name Cialis, Tadalafil is also used in the treatment of enlarged prostate as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension. Tadalafil use in ED patients can result in a rare side effect known as priapism, in which the individual experiences erection lasting for more than four hours or painful erection. This condition is not just caused by ED medication but also other health issues. Priapism is associated with blood disorders like leukemia and sickle cell anemia, and neurological disorders. Priapism is a treatable condition but left untreated in can lead to health complications and also damage in the penis. Scarring and other damages to the penis can be prevented by seeking emergency medical treatment for the four-hour erection. Medical therapies for priapism include draining the deoxygenated blood from the penis, using of a shunt, and also drugs. Among the many medications available, Tadalafil is considered as an effective one and is prescribed by doctors for this condition.
Why take Tadalafil for priapism
Priapism occurs when there is no release of blood after getting an erection and the penis does return to its flaccid state. Due to the vascular effect of Tadalafil, which is a PDE5 inhibitor, the drug is effective in helping individuals with priapism. Studies have shown that Tadalafil can alleviate priapism in men. Also, for those who are prone to getting this condition, Tadalafil helps to prevent the recurrence of priapism when the suitable dosage is administered on a daily basis. The use of Tadalafil for priapism comes with a few basic rules. Since the condition has symptoms of painful erection and erection lasting for more than four hours, those who take Tadalafil for priapism should do so only when the penis is in a flaccid state and preferably at a time when there is not much scope for sexual arousal. This use of Tadalafil is investigational and yet to be made as a standard treatment.
Tadalafil for treating ED caused by priapism
Priapism can also result in erectile dysfunction (ED), wherein the person is unable to get and maintain an erection during sexual activity. Some men develop ED as a side effect of priapism and this can be treated with Tadalafil as well. Cialis Tadalafil is approved for use in ED and men can buy Canadian Tadalafil to treat ED according to the dosage information provided by the doctor.
How to safely take Tadalafil
Tadalafil is mostly safe to use and does not cause priapism unless the health of the person is poor and the drug is taken along with certain other medications. Always inform the doctor while receiving the Tadalafil prescription if you are taking any medications at all and health issues if any. Avoid taking more than one Tadalafil dose in a day. The dosage should not be modified without consulting the doctor. Order Tadalafil online if you want to purchase the medication for cheap, and delivered directly to your home.

Topshop, the women's clothing brand, intends to enlist the help of technology – virtual reality technology, to be exact, in order to deliver a greater "Wow!" factor to the masses who drop by their stores. In fact, virtual reality will be able to deliver the upcoming Topshop Unique fashion run show to interested shoppers without having them being there, thanks to a team effort with London-based Inition. Inition happens to be a company that specializes in 3D graphics application development.
With the clever use of virtual reality, the Web-based stream will be able to deliver a "new dimension" of traditional fashion shows, or so say the executives over at Topshop. Customers who decide to drop by the flagship London Topshop store and make use of a Virtual Reality (VR) headset will see themselves immersed with fashion footage, which will hopefully offer a customized, personal method that will snag the modern day fickle shopper's attention.
Andy Millns, Inition co-founder, shared, "VR is the ultimate interface to the digital world with the power to transport the user to another place as soon as they put on a special display. This unique technology has the potential to open up fashion shows to the consumer at home and we believe this will be the first of many executions of this kind." This is not the first time that virtual reality technology has stepped into the world of fashion, and it certainly does not look as though it will be the last.

Marthin De Beer, senior vice president of emerging technologies, has hinted in an interview with Computerworld at Cisco Live! that a Wi-Fi version of its Flip camcorder, as first predicted by Pocket-lint at the tale end of 2009, is finally ready to make it to market for Christmas 2010.
"We didn't buy Flip to have it be only a video recorder", De Beer tells Computerworld when asked about the possibilities of a Wi-Fi enabled Flip camcorder.
When pushed further he said Cisco hadn't announced anything, but added: "I look forward to Christmas".
Computerworld also managed to get De Beer to confirm that the company supports Apple's FaceTime video chat and is developing a video client that will soon sell in the App Store to support video on the iPhone 4.
De Beer said of the new iOS app: "You will see us create a client for video based on Mobi, which will be mobile Mobi for the iPhone", Computerworld reports.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo Monday tried to deflect questions about whether he would support Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2016.
He also waved off criticism by black leaders of a State Senate leadership coalition that contains only one minority.
Cuomo said in a radio interview that "there is no doubt" Clinton, the departing U.S. Secretary of State, is "incredibly popular. She has great experience. There's going to be all sorts of speculation about her political future. She's the person who's going to make the decision."
Asked if he would commit to backing Clinton, Cuomo said of 2016: "Oh, it's a long way away."
Cuomo, who served in President Bill Clinton's cabinet, also has been mentioned as a potential Democratic candidate, although analysts have said he would not likely jump in if Hillary Clinton wants to run.
A recent survey found that New Yorkers would prefer to see Clinton run rather than the governor. The Siena College poll found that 54 percent of residents want Clinton to run, while 39 percent were opposed.
The same wasn't true of Cuomo: 39 percent said he should run, 49 percent said no.Also in the interview, Cuomo tried to turn aside complaints voiced at a protest last weekend where black Democrats bashed him for tacitly supporting an alliance of Republicans and renegade Democrats to lead the State Senate.
Announced last week, the coalition of 30 Republicans and six Democrats features only one minority, Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica). In contrast, 14 of the 27 mainline Democrats are black or Hispanic.
The protesters said the coalition deprives minorities of a prominent role in state lawmaking. The New York Times quoted Sen. Bill Perkins (D-Manhattan) as saying: "Ask Governor Cuomo: Where does he stand on backroom deals putting us in the back of the bus?"
Cuomo didn't directly address the criticism.
"Let's just say the Senate has had a long tradition and flair for the dramatic, both in statements and action," Cuomo said on WGDJ-AM. "A governor's job is not to involve himself or herself in the internal power dynamic or leadership of the legislature." But he also cast blame for the split that led to the coalition Democrats rather than Republicans who sought to stay in power despite not winning a majority of Senate seats in November.
"This is not really about Republicans," Cuomo said. "This is a schism among Democrats.

Zhejiang University (ZJU) is one of China's leading higher education institutions, as well as one of its oldest; its roots can be traced back to 1897 and the founding of the Qiushi Academy.
Located in Hangzhou – one of China's most picturesque cities – the university is organised across seven faculties and 36 schools. It is home to 3,500 full-time academic members of staff and around 45,000 students undergraduates, of which around 60 per cent opt to pursue further studies. More facts and figures here.
High ambitions
Laying claim to several areas of research strength, ZJU currently ranks within the top 100 universities in the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings.
The institution prides itself on a culture of innovation and creativity, and has significantly invested in the development of cutting-edge specialisms in order to encourage both. Manned spaceflight, assembly technology for large aircraft, clean energy, marine technology, industrial control technology, and global public health initiatives related to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, have all benefitted from the recent investment.
ZJU is also renowned for the number of business start-ups it gives rise to. Over 100 of its alumni sit at the helm of domestic or overseas listed companies, while a further 200 have been elected members of the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, making Zhejiang University synonymous with entrepreneurship and leadership.
Other innovative developments include the creation of a high-level platform for intellectual property exchange, as well as the formation of a number of think-tanks, including the China Academy of Western Region Development, the National Research Center for Agricultural and Rural Development, and the Institute for Public Policy, which exists to extend the scope of ZJU'ss social sciences' research.
Global Outlook
Zhejiang University has strategic partnerships in place with 140 overseas institutions from more than 30 countries worldwide. Included among them are such leading institutions as Imperial College London, Princeton University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
With a cohort of 6,000 international students, and around 8,000 teachers and students who participate annually in its various overseas exchange programmes, ZJU prides itself on the strength of its global outlook.
In collaboration with the Universities of Edinburgh and Illinois it has also established the ZJU-UoE and ZJU-UIUC Institutes on the international Haining Campus, and boasts an overseas presence at Imperial College London, with future plans to establish a China-US Business School with the University of Pennsylvania.
Chief among Zhejiang's aims is the aspiration to become a world-class university, one that simultaneously retains a distinctively Chinese character, where tradition and modernity are successfully combined.

This feature is a part of Complex's Danny Brown Week.
Danny Brown has always had his own unique sense of style. Once upon a time, 50 Cent passed on signing him because he wasn't a fan of the Detroit MC's skinny jeans. Danny's look didn't fit in with the G-Unit aesthetic, but in keeping with his own musical and personal philosophy DB continued to act and dress just as he pleases. Now that Brown's album Old has splashed down, fucking up staid notions of what hip-hop can be, the eclectic and global influences that inform his music can still be seen in the way the wild-haired emcee laces up.
Danny Brown is no stranger to opulent clothing, but every style choice of his is deliberately thought-out, and each of his brand co-signs has a personal story and history behind it. Like the beats and rhymes on Old, DB taps into his love of British culture, his early years in Detroit, and of course the endless chase for pussy to create a tapestry of labels that no other rapper would have the honesty or humor to select.
Much like his album, each piece of Danny Brown's style puzzle has its own story, which is how a true list of one's favorite clothing brands should read. He's come a long way from just being the rapper in skinny jeans. These are Danny Brown's 25 Favorite Brands.
