Combined ARM, TI technologies will provide higher performance and greater power efficiency for 2.5 and 3G devices
DALLAS, TX AND CAMBRIDGE, UK - Oct. 15, 2002 – Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN) (TI) and ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced that TI has licensed two new ARM11™ microprocessor cores which TI will use to develop future generations of wireless voice and multimedia solutions. When combined with TI's wireless systems expertise and digital signal processor (DSP) technology, the ARM1136J-S™ core and the ARM1136JF-S™ core, announced by ARM yesterday at the Microprocessor Forum, San Jose, Calif., will enable TI to provide equipment manufacturers with solutions that will increase system performance and extend battery life for 2.5 and 3G wireless handsets and PDAs. (See separate press release…ARM Sets Performance Standard with Two New ARM11 Cores…Oct. 14, 2002).
"ARM is committed to developing high-performance solutions to meet our Partners' requirements and target applications," said Mike Inglis, executive vice president, Marketing, ARM. "The combination of the new high-performance ARM11 cores, and TI's leading system-level expertise and DSP technology, will exceed the performance and power requirements of system developers for next-generation wireless and multimedia solutions."
The new ARM® solutions are the first microprocessor core implementations of the ARM11 microarchitecture, which is based on the ARMv6 instruction set developed in collaboration by TI and ARM. The ARM11 microarchitecture features a high-performance pipeline and high-bandwidth level-one memory system, which results in an extremely compact and power-efficient microprocessor core. These new features, which will be code-compatible with TI's current ARM core-based solutions, coupled with TI's wireless experience and DSP engines, will offer the increased performance and low power consumption required to run real-time audio and video applications.
"The new ARM11 cores will be an essential part of TI's wireless technology roadmap," said Alain Mutricy, vice president and OMAP Platform General Manager, TI. "Today, TI's wireless platforms, based on TI's DSP and ARM microprocessor cores, have been the standard for delivering the best technology, power efficiency and performance required to drive today's wireless handsets. By utilizing ARM11 solutions along with our advanced wireless DSP expertise, we will extend this standard through the next generation of high-end wireless handsets and PDAs."
TI and ARM have a long history of collaboration in the wireless space, including the licensing of cores from the ARM7™, ARM9™ and ARM10™ microprocessor families.
Texas Instruments Incorporated provides innovative DSP and analog technologies to meet our customers' real world signal processing requirements. In addition to Semiconductor, the company's businesses include Sensors & Controls, and Educational & Productivity Solutions.

(Reuters) - Cable maker Belden Inc said it will sell its Thermax and Raydex cable businesses to diversified manufacturer Carlisle Cos Inc for about $265 million, including debt, as it looks to exit the aerospace and defense markets.
Belden, which also makes cables and networking products for the broadcast and consumer electronics industries, has been unable to remain competitive offering cables as a stand-alone product to the aerospace and defense markets, company spokesman Matt Tractenberg said.
Belden has been acquiring connector companies that complement its cable offerings in other markets, and was probably unable to find a suitable deal for the Thermax and Raydex businesses, Stifel Nicolaus & Company analyst Noelle Dilts said.
"Belden's strategy is that it is looking to sell total solutions - cables and connectors. They don't want to sell stand-alone cables," Dilts said.
Thermax and Raydex, which have combined annual sales of about $112 million, make hook-up, data and coaxial wires and cables for commercial aerospace, defense and industrial markets.
Belden, which has a market value of about $1.60 billion, said it would use the proceeds to help fund a $200 million buyback of its common stock.
Carlisle said it expects the acquisition to close by December 31 and add to earnings in 2013.
Belden's shares, which had gained about 6 percent in value so far this year, were up 5 percent at $38.33 in afternoon trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Carlisle's stock was up 1 percent at $56.68.

Jones has prepared hard for Patriots seasonBy JEFF HOWE
Boston Herald
July 31. 2013 8:37PM
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Sometimes, the finest details can yield the most advantageous changes.
For Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones, the offseason was dedicated to learning more about himself. The greatest jumps in Year 2 occur because players devote themselves to becoming professionals. Those who recognize that fact can excel.
For starters, Jones worked with team nutritionist Ted Harper to lock down a firm dietary plan. Those help for obvious reasons.
But Jones also pushed to increase his upper-body strength. Remember, he was hampered by a pair of ankle injuries last season, and he believed he put too much stress on his legs, which possibly led to the ailments. Again, the ability to realize how the little things can impact a performance should go a considerable way in Jones' development.
"Basically, I've been trying to eat a little bit better and trying to focus on myself, trying to get my upper-body strength, focus on certain weaknesses of my game, becoming an all-around player to become a better teammate," Jones said. "We just want to get out here and win. Just win games."
As coach Bill Belichick often says, there's no such thing as a magic wand in football. The simple combination of an immense load of potential and a good offseason won't simply translate into a 15-sack season in 2013, but a responsible level of professionalism, a gifted amount of athleticism and some nice memories from a rookie season are a good way to start.
Jones had six sacks in his first eight games before he dealt with his first wave of adversity. The ankle injuries and scouting reports from opposing offensive linemen were enough to neutralize the Patriots' most disruptive pass rusher.
"Sacks are hard to come by," Jones said. "You can't just get a sack every game. You have to work for it. You have to set it up."
The Patriots defense has looked strong in training camp, which is a continuation from its performance in the spring, and that assessment is without truly getting to analyze Jones, who has at least looked explosive in one-on-one work. But defensive linemen don't earn their truest evaluations from coaches until they can go full tilt against another team.
Expectations remain high for Jones, who is viewed around the league as a candidate to break out as a sophomore. He has earned a great deal of attention from the national media, even if Jones said he hasn't been made aware of it.
"This is actually my first time hearing that, so thanks for enlightening me with that," Jones said with a wry smile. "There is a reason why this is my first time hearing that. I try not to read things like that. That's great, but you try to look past that because if you get too caught up in that, it's too much going on (when) you focus on what other people are thinking."
Yet, it isn't just the media who believe Jones can bust out.
"I wish I had the length of Chandler," said Rob Ninkovich, who is Jones' pass-rushing counterpart. "I wish my arms were that much longer. He's blessed with those. He's definitely going to be a guy that is going to have a great year. He's had the first year of experience to kind of get the rookie jitters off so he can just go out here and play football."
Of course, Jones' potential to rack up double-digit sacks could be hindered by his position. He'll have the chance to increase his quarterback takedowns if he gets the majority of his reps at defensive end in a four-man front.
But the possibility exists for Belichick to play more of a 3-4 base with Jones at defensive end in a Richard Seymour role. Consider Seymour's value to those older Patriots teams, despite the fact that he never racked up more than eight sacks in a season.
That's all to be determined, though. For now, Jones knows he has put in the work to set himself up for a bright sophomore campaign.
"I feel a lot more comfortable, to be honest with you," Jones said of his physical wellness. "Not more comfortable as experienced. I'm not saying I've arrived or anything like that. I have a lot of work to do. I'm just speaking on a personal standpoint. I have a lot of work to do. I'm excited to get that work done and win some football games."

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) - Joel Sweeney (Fr.-Tomah, Wis.) scored three touchdowns in his collegiate debut to help lead the Blugolds to a 35-31 victory over Bethel University (Tenn.) at Carson Park on Saturday.
The Blugolds have won their previous four season openers, three of which have come against the Wildcats, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Blugolds have never lost to Bethel, improving to 3-0 all-time against the Wildcats. Bethel falls to 0-2 on the season.
Eau Claire opened up the scoring in the first quarter at 8:20 after Sweeney found the end zone on a run from seven yards out. The touchdown capped off a drive that began after a Mark Bader (Sr.-Burnsville, Minn.) interception. It took the Blugolds just three plays to go 21 yards for the score.
Six minutes following the Blugolds' touchdown, Bethel answered with one of their own. But on the very next drive, Sweeney broke loose on the second play of the drive and scampered 53 yards for another touchdown to give Eau Claire the 14-7. Sweeney also scored the game's final touchdown that gave the Blugolds the lead for good with 4:26 left in the game.
Also scoring for the Blugolds tonight was Connor Meloy (Jr.-Madison, Wis./Edgewood) after a blocked punt midway through the second quarter and Jesse Linsmeyer (Jr.-Cameron, Wis.) on a 42-yard pass from Austin Neu (So.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) with only two seconds left before halftime.
Bethel hung right with the Blugolds the entire night and while Eau Claire held the lead the majority of the game, the Wildcats captured a 31-28 lead early in the fourth quarter before the Sweeney touchdown to give the Blugolds the lead for good.
The teams had nearly the same offensive yard totals with Bethel finishing with 318 yards of total offense to Eau Claire's 315. The Blugolds held the advantage in rushing, coming up with 220 yards, 181 which came from Sweeney, while Bethel had 203. Sweeney's performance was one of the best a freshman has ever produced in their first season. Passing, the Wildcats had 115 yards while the Blugolds had 95.
Neu led the Blugolds in passing with 95 yards as he was 4-for-10. Linsmeyer and Sweeney were the only Blugolds to catch passes with each coming away with two. Cordarious Mann led Bethel with 105 yards rushing and Jahron Reynolds finished with 25 receiving yards to lead the Wildcats. Will Masroud had 88 passing yards going 11-for-21 while Troy Watson went 2-for-2 for 27 yards for Bethel.
On defense, the Blugolds were led by Kyle Thorpe (So.-Stanley, Wis./Stanley-Boyd/Moorhead St.) and Andy Neumann (Jr.-Germantown, Wis.) as they finished with seven tackles while Quenterius Williams also came away with seven to lead Bethel. Nick Slade (So.-St. Cloud, Minn./Tech), Chris Olson (Jr.-Stratford, Wis.) and Neumann each picked up sacks for the Blugolds.
Next weekend the Blugolds will be back at home to face ninth-ranked St. John's University (Minn.) in the Hall of Fame game. Action is set to get underway at 7 p.m.

The distribution of water-borne infectious diseases is influenced mainly by
the hygienic circumstance of water (Epstein, 1992; Echeverria et al., 1995;
Colwell, 1996; Esrey, 1996). Water-borne diseasesincluding cholera and
the suite of diarrheal diseases caused by organisms such as giardia, salmonella,
and cryptosporidiumare common with contamination of drinking water quality
in many countries of south Asia (Echeverria et al., 1995; Colwell, 1996; Esrey,
1996). Higher SSTs and rich nutrient load in major river deltas would support
extended phytoplankton blooms in selected coastal areas of temperate and tropical
Asia. These phytoplankton blooms are habitats for the survival and spread of
infectious bacterial diseases. The cholera outbreak in Bangladesh during 1994
has been attributed to the presence of extended phytoplankton blooms (Colwell,
1996). The aforementioned water-borne diseases could become more common in many
countries of south Asia in a warmer climate.
For preventive actions, impact assessments are necessary on various aspects
such as the nutritional situation, drinking water supply, water salinity, and
ecosystem damage (Kaye and Novell, 1994; Graczyk and Fried, 1998). Water-borne
infectious diseases, natural disaster, environmental migration, nutritional
deficiency, and environmental pollution should be major risk factors for human
health (Thongkrajai et al., 1990; Pazzaglia et al., 1995, Colwell, 1996). The
risk factor of diseases also will depend on infrastructure, economic conditions,
the hygienic situation, and medical facilities. Risk could be reduced by awareness
in the communities that are more vulnerable to instability in the future environment.
In Asia, economic and population growth will expand rapidly during the 21st
century in many countries. The rapid increase in population will be accompanied
by migration from rural communities to overcrowded large cities (Stephens, 1995).
Disasters linked to climate extremes such as floods and droughts also would
impact local and regional populations and enforce migration. The huge energy
consumption by the expanding population in urban cities would result in degradation
of air and water quality, whereas rapid expansion of the economy will bring
about improvements in living standards, such as improved environmental sanitation,
hygienic practice, and medical treatment facilities. Therefore, better understanding
of the interaction among climate change and environmental and health status
in communities at regional and local scales is crucial to forge physiological
acclimatization and social adaptations in the future.

Minneapolis Officers Satisfactory After Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Two Minneapolis police officers who were wounded in a shooting are in satisfactory condition at a local hospital.
The Minneapolis Police Department released the officers' condition Saturday on Twitter, and said no additional information would be released until Monday.
The officers were shot in a series of events Friday that left two men dead and a woman injured.
The dead include the alleged suspect, and a motorcyclist who was hit when a police car that was heading to the shooting collided with his bike. The female passenger on the motorcycle is also in satisfactory condition Saturday.
Police Chief Janee Harteau called the situation tragic. The investigation is ongoing.

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — Power is gradually being restored across Trinidad and Tobago after a rare nationwide blackout struck the twin-island Caribbean country.
The country's Electricity Commission says the blackout was caused by a problem with the natural gas supply in Trinidad and a subsequent failure at a plant on the island of Tobago.
The country of 1.3 million is a major producer of natural gas and one of the most economically developed countries in the Caribbean.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says the government mobilized troops, police and air patrols to maintain security shortly after the power went out early Friday. She says there were no major incidents of violent and one attempt to loot a supermarket that was prevented by police.

In Part One, I put up graphs of the last 11 years of API readings for Shanghai, China. The graphs were big, crowded, whacky and JPGs, so it is hard for readers to see anything really tangible. So with the power of statistics, let us see how we can make these more useful, shall we?
Reminder: I make no claims of any sort about the accuracy of the source data, which was gathered from the Shanghai Environmental Education Center. The site and the ministry do not go into detail about their methods, testing sites, or any other pertinent details, which ruins the fun. (click to biggify, as usual)
This is a year on year graph of the 30 day running average. That's a mouthful, but it's relatively simple, each data point is an average of the 29 previous days and itself. This helps smooth things out without decimating the real shifts in Air Quality, good or bad. Click through for SO2 and NO2, and more fun graphs!

Rochester man facing up to 30 years in prison for brutal assaultBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
May 22. 2013 11:18AM
DOVER – A Rochester man was indicted last week by a grand jury sitting in Strafford County Superior Court for allegedly partially blinding another man during a robbery in February.
Clifford Gagnon Jr., 24, of 159 Milton Road, East Rochester, was charged with first-degree assault and robbery for allegedly striking a man in the face, blinding him in the right eye and causing multiple fractures Feb. 14 in Rochester.
The grand jury handed up the indictments May 16 and Gagnon is scheduled to be arraigned May 30 at 9 a.m. in Strafford County Superior Court.
First-degree assault and robbery are Class A felonies, which could each result in a maximum of 7½ to 15 years in prison and a $4,000 fine.
In other grand jury indictments on May 16:
A Rochester man could face up to 23 years behind bars after being indicted on several drug charges. Jeffrey Chandler, 21, of 14 Nutter St., East Rochester, was charged with four counts of acts prohibited — possession of oxycodone, alprazolam, methadone and marijuana — and resisting arrest stemming from a March 20 incident in Rochester. Chandler allegedly interfered with Officer Jamey Bailey, who he recognized as a police officer attempting to arrest him, according to the indictments. He is scheduled to be arraigned May 30 at 9 a.m. in Strafford County Superior Court.
A Dover man could spend the rest of his life in prison for allegedly sexually assaulting a child, beginning when he was 8, for a three-year period beginning in 2004. Joshua Knapp, 26, of 71 Adelle Drive, Dover, was charged with eight counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault. Knapp allegedly assaulted the child, who is now 17, between Jan. 1, 2004, to Dec. 31, 2007, according to the indictments. Knapp is scheduled to be arraigned May 30 at 9 a.m. in Strafford County Superior Court.
Another Dover man could be spend the next 56 years in prison and pay $800,000 in fines for allegedly selling cocaine in three Seacoast communities. Malcolm Young, 28, of 25 Hanson St., Dover, was charged with eight counts of selling less than a half-ounce of cocaine to a confidential informant of the N.H. Attorney General's Drug Task Force. The sales alleged occurred in the fall and winter in three communities – on Oct. 3, 2012, in Gonic; Nov. 8 and 15, 2012, and on Jan. 6 in Somersworth; and on Jan. 24, Feb. 12, March 12, 14 and 20, in Dover, according to the indictments. Gagnon is scheduled to be arraigned May 30 at 9 a.m. in Strafford County Superior Court.

This past Hell City I was fortunate to tattoo three different collectors. Collectors are a whole different breed of client getting tattooed. They are passionately pursuing specific tattooers, and getting pieces to signify the work from that tattooer, no matter what the subject matter of the piece is. That always makes it an honor to tattoo a collector. During the weekend I had some people who were close to me tell me, "Hey, you keep going on about how awesome it is that they love tattooing, how about you write a blog about the collectors, like the one's you write about tattooers." She was right, why didn't I think of that. Genius. After Hell City, I decided to get a few of them together to tell us their stories, I hope you enjoy…
I first met Jason Taylor at a party at Hula Moon. My close friend and owner of Hula Moon, Famous Gabe, (of whom I did a blog about last year) throws some pretty epic parties there, the kind you spend the next year talking about, kinda like the graduation party from Say Anything. From the first time I met Jason, I knew I liked him, and then the more we talked, I realized why. Jason lives in Gulf Breeze, Florida and he is one of the only collectors I know of in that area. So, needless to say, he travels to get tattooed, and he is passionate about it.
I was excited to see the work he had when I met him. He had pieces from Gunnar, Jesse Smith, Scott Irwin and many other tattooers that I really respected and loved. That being said, I was honored when Jason asked me to do a piece for him, and even more honored when that piece turned into five or so pieces. During the time that I tattooed Jason, we really got to know each other and learn the different struggles and life experiences we have dealt with. Together, we have both made the effort to take steps to living more positive lives, and not let the negatives take hold. PMA.
I also learned how much Jason respected tattooing. Whenever anything about tattooing comes up, he has a glimmer in his eye crossed with a reverence to not overstep boundaries about a practice that is thousands of years before us. I think many tattooers could learn a thing or two from the amount of respect this man has for the trade. Here is Jason's story about what got him to fall in love with tattooing, and becoming a collector…
Jason Taylor:
My first interests in tattoos and being tattooed stemmed from my grandfather. He had the classic crawling black panthers on both biceps. I was into art as far back as I can remember and it fascinated me that you could have it on you permanently. At probably 13 I tried to give my self a tattoo with a needle wrapped in thread and some India ink I acquired from art class. I still have a small black blob on my thigh from it. Initially it was a cross. From there I was tattooed by a biker shortly after my 18th birthday, and then some lady in Texas while I was in the Air Force less than a year later. Both of these tattoos were nothing to be proud of and nothing like the images in the tattoo magazines that I bought whenever I could find them. One day a friend of mine came over and had just come from the local tattoo shop with a nice solid tattoo. That's when I think realized that you get what you pay for and that's also when I started getting tattooed fairly regularly. Gunnar was the first person I started paying attention to regularly in the magazines and I remember telling my buddies that I wanted to get tattooed by him. I think I was 19, maybe 20.
It took me 10 years to make it happen but it happened. I also pursued getting tattooed by Will Lollie after seeing his work in a magazine. He was working at Hula Moon in my home town at the time and I was going to be back home on vacation. I remember him being really nice, I'm pretty sure he came in on his day off to tattoo me. It meant a lot to me and it was such a positive experience that from that point forward I decided to just wait it out and get tattooed by the people who I admired in the magazines.
I understand people getting comfortable with one artist and just going back to that person over and over because they found a connection with that individual, but I feel like they are selling themselves short. Collecting tattoos has changed my life. I don't know if it is just dumb luck or what, but I have met some of the best humans I know by hopping from artist to artist. I think completely differently thanks to the conversations I have had with Scott Irwin, Sean Herman, and Adam Hathorn. I've been tattooed multiple times by some people when the initial intention was to just get one piece and move to the next guy, because I liked them as a person, and wanted to hangout with them again. Not to mention I get to look at art everyday that makes me smile from some of the best in the business. My life is richer having met the people I have getting tattooed. There are so many humble down to earth amazing artists tattooing today that I'm sure my list will never end.
On the other hand there are more people in the business with rock star egos than there used to be, and I personally would rather support one of the many other talented people who do it for the love [of tattooing] and not to fuel their ego. Most of the people I have been tattooed by I hadn't met prior to getting work from them, and they have all been awesome, even the biker that did my first one was a pretty rad guy. He had fangs and tried to talk me into a Viking skull…[divider]

In 1995, Paul Graham used Common Lisp to help online merchants. Today, we're doing the same with Clojure.
The space: The retail e-commerce market is about 180 billion dollars a year in revenue. The online travel market is over 100 billion dollars. These are United States numbers only, the global numbers are several times larger.
The measure: Conversion rate is the number of folks that buy on an e-commerce website, divided by the total number of unique visitors to the website (i.e. conversion rate = purchasers/visitors). This ratio measures how well an online business is being monetized, given a certain amount of traffic.
The problem: Globally, the average conversion rate is under 1%. This means that if you're an online merchant, only 1 visitor of every 100 will buy anything on your site. And since you're paying someone (say Google or Yahoo) to drive traffic to your site, your investment is running at an efficiency of 1%. Typically, to increase profits you have to increase your traffic spend… clearly a very inefficient proposition.
The solution: Runa targets the 99% of traffic that doesn't make purchases. Runa tracks everything a visitor does on an e-commerce website, then analyzes this data to determine patterns. Statistical models are run against the data to generate a predictive understanding of variables that influence buy decisions. This insight is then used to make targeted offers to visitors in order to incentivize them to buy, in real-time, as they are browsing the e-commerce site. The actual offers can be influenced by merchants via an easy-to-use online dashboard. The Runa service is free to install, provides deep analytics/reporting, and when enabled can intervene in the visitors shopping flow to make specific, personalized offers, in order to increase conversion.
The reward: We've seen 30% to 60% sales lifts with our early customers. Runa only charges on a performance basis (a percentage of increased sales). Our clients have been happy to pay this low fee to get these kinds of results; they'd need to increase their traffic-spend by an order of magnitude to get similar results. Instead, when their Runa trial period runs out, they're anxious to pay their Runa bill, lest their sales go back down to their pre-Runa levels…

RE: Are cosmic bodies... Conscious?
Well I'm disappoint. I wanted this either proved or ripped apart so I could sleep without thinking about it xD
Oh well, I like a long lasting argument too, just not too long. :3
If planets are conscious, it is not going to be sapient, and likely not sentient either. Still I see your reasons for mocking the idea in human terms. Though really it's more likely to have a consciousness similar to no carbon based life.
Still, I would say it's possible, maybe even plausible. I see no reason why not, not unless I can get help with this neuroscience stuff. I bet a guy who knows enough about brains could make my theory look scientifically impossible :3

RE: Are cosmic bodies... Conscious?
I think I saw something about how atoms react to things as though they are intelligent. Though I think thats a harder thing to study. I think the best thing we can study right now is ball lightning imo. It's bigger, easier to read and easier to notify.... Unfortunately it's also hard to catch...
idk on second thought more intensive study of atoms would be a good idea, though I still think that the supposedly self-aware behavior of ball lightning is something to be considered here.
And sorry, I don't remember the name of that TV show either ^-^;

Perhaps you are referring to matter's tendency to react according to the laws of physics. For example, certain anions bond with certain cations simply because of inherent, supposedly fundamental laws of physics. Is this reaction to stimuli or intelligence?
We are limited by the English language when pondering the deepest questions of existence. The word conscious:
aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.
From dictionary.com...
If we use the word "conscious" to describe a planet, the description simply doesn't fit. To have sensations and thoughts, one must have some sort of sensory apparatus and a communication network to share the data gathered from this apparatus. Planets have no such thing.
Basically, it is the difference between moving and knowing you are moving. Matter moves. The earth moves.
We know we are moving.
The difference between us and just a conglomeration of atoms, or the earth, is that we are composed of living cells that take in energy, release waste, go through metabolic processes, divide, and are specialized an part of a broader organization. Every cell has its place, whether it be in the circulation system or the nervous system. It has a role to upkeep the larger organism, and there is a definite separation between inner and outer, a true sense of form.
Even if consciousness was possible without "living" tissue, the earth would still need specialization and sensory apparatus and communication apparatus etc.. etc...
The organization of the earth (denser core, liquid magma, thin crust, atmosphere etc...) is due simply to the laws of physics. Certain things float, certain things sink (Obviously there are different properties at work but it is the same concept). They do not sink because they want to sink, and they are not, unless they are sentient, aware that they are sinking. It is simply fundamental laws of physics that make it happen. And once the materials settle, there is no "communication" between them. None of them have a purpose. They just are there.
The only conceivable way I could imagine a non-biological entity in the universe being "conscious" would be a conglomeration of entangled atoms. Quantum entanglement is a strange property in which two or more entangled atoms are all in instant communication with each other. If the spin or properties of one atom changes, then no matter how far apart the other atom is (even the other side of the universe), then the properties of the other atom will change instantaneously. This is conceivably communication, and is the foundation of quantum computers.
However, it takes a concerted effort in the lab to achieve entanglement. To have it happen spontaneously in nature, and have all the entangled atoms in one place, and somehow achieve consciousness without sensory apparatus (which I don't see how this could form spontaneously) is incredibly unlikely.
And even if all this occur, then aren't we better off just calling the thing a new form of life?

I think a new form of life would be the only way to describe it.
Still, thanks for taking the time to explain why this theory is flawed instead of mocking. Makes for good times
I think though still this theory is going to be one of those ones that gets put on a shelf until some time in the future. At least for me anyway xD
Stay tuned for the next head cold theory from me.

Every season of the Peter Chiarelli/Claude Julien era has featured an impressive rookie class on the Bruins' roster.
Down the road, this year's group of Boston first-year NHLers might turn out to be the best group of rookies during that duo's stint with the Bruins' brain trust.
Consider that 46 games into this season, the player that was the No. 2 overall pick in last June's draft – the player with the most superstar potential in the group – might arguably be just the third-best rookie.
Two of Boston's rookie stars were front and center in the club's impressive 3-2 road win over Carolina tonight.
Winger Brad Marchand, who has officially graduated from the "Merlot Line" to a prime position in Boston's top nine, buried a rebound of a Zdeno Chara shot to give Boston a 2-1 lead early in the third period. And then defenseman Steven Kampfer flaunted his excellent wheels on a power-play rush that generated the Bruins' momentum entering the zone before Milan Lucic's goal that broke a 2-2 tie with 8:11 to go.
Both key plays were typical of Marchand and Kampfer, who in my book rank No. 1 and 2, respectively, among Bruins rookies to this point of the season. Both have emerged as huge pieces of the Bruins, who are ensconced in the No. 2 slot in the Eastern Conference after sweeping their home-and-home with the Hurricanes.
When you complete Boston's freshman foursome with highly regarded forward Tyler Seguin and much-improved defenseman Adam McQuaid, you have living proof of Chiarelli's commitment to building his club through the draft and farm system.
Last season, Tuukka Rask made a run for the Calder Trophy and Johnny Boychuk emerged as a top-four defenseman. In 2008-09 Blake Wheeler made a big NHL splash fresh out of college and Matt Hunwick showed signs of stardom on Boston's back end. But the standard for first-year phenomenal talent in the Chiarelli/Julien era was set in the head coach's first season, when Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Vladimir Sobotka and Mark Stuart all cut their teeth at the game's highest level with their Calder Trophy eligibility still intact.
Obviously, this year's quartet of rookies has a ways to go to match that 2007-08 group for one-year and long-time production. But with the aid of joining a much deeper team than that '07-08 squad, this year's four rookies are leaving their mark on a team that has a chance to do some special things.
After making the roster out of training camp, Marchand figured to continue his role as agitator from the last couple seasons with the Providence (AHL) farm club with Boston. He promptly added prime penalty-killer to his task list and has now found a home on a solid two-way line with future Hall-of-Famer Mark Recchi and Selke Trophy candidate Patrice Bergeron. Tonight Marchand had a rare up-and-down night, as he drew one penalty, was called for a minor, coughed up a couple giveaways and scored that huge goal. He now has 10 goals on the season – a total you would've gotten strange looks just for predicting he'd score over the course of the whole season.
Kampfer, in his first pro season, has lived up to his advanced billing as a defenseman that can skate the puck zone to zone and make the type of plays Boston's other defensemen rarely even attempt. He showed his offensive flair tonight by skating the puck to the Carolina blue line before dishing off to Recchi leading up to Boston's big goal. Even a broken nose, and the full face shield he has been forced to wear to keep it protected, hasn't slowed him down. He has totaled eight points (4 goals) in 20 games.
Right now, the only thing that could halt Kampfer's scintillating start to his NHL career is the salary cap and Boston's crowded back end. He's on emergency recall and would have to be assigned back to the P-Bruins, at least on paper, once Andrew Ference is healthy.
After getting his feet wet with 19 NHL regular-season games and nine playoff games last season, McQuaid has gained confidence and the Bruins have accumulated more faith in him. In addition to using his length and bulk to punish puck-carriers, McQuaid's willingness to drop the gloves has added a new dimension to Boston's defense corps. Plus, he has even registered three points in his last four games (seven assists in 33 games on the season). Tonight he was point-less but blocked two shots and mixed it up in front of the Boston net a couple times against a Carolina team that made it its life's mission to crash Tim Thomas.
And then there's Seguin, who in 10:05 of ice time recorded no points and just one shot on goal. Skating with Lucic and David Krejci should be the speedster's chance to finally shine offensively in the Bruins mix. However, every time he changes lines Seguin seems to struggle finding chemistry. His best couple games might've been when he was skating on the fourth line. The overall speed of the NHL game and the subtleties of each pro contest seem to be a little more advanced for Seguin right now. That doesn't mean that he's not going to be the superstar the Bruins are projecting. It just means that right now, with just seven goals in 43 games, Seguin is no better than the third-best rookie in the Bruins' mix. And that's great news.
The '07-08 rookie class is a hard group to top and this year's four rookies might not be able to match that one's impact on the Bruins franchise that season or for the long run. If this year's freshmen keep on pace to challenge that group's superiority though, it'll push the Bruins to accomplish things the club only dreamed about in that season three years ago.

NEW YORK (AP) — The explosion that tore through two East Harlem apartment buildings took the lives of at least eight people, including a young woman making her way up in the restaurant world, two women who were steadfast volunteers in their church and a man described by his widow as "the smartest person" who could talk about anything.
Liseth Perez-Almeida had to frequently catch her breath as she spoke about the life and death of her husband, Andreas Panagopoulos, who had worked from their East Harlem home for an online site that manages a film and photography directory.
The couple had been together for 13 years and married for eight, she said, her voice soft and faltering as she spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday. "He was the smartest person ... he was so special."
Perez-Almeida left for work earlier than usual on Wednesday and had been in Brooklyn when she heard about the blast at Park Avenue and 116th Street.
"I started calling him on the phone" with no answer, she said. Throughout the night, friends went to hospital emergency rooms in hopes Panagopoulos would be there.
"We spent all night trying to find him, all the hospitals," said Evangelos Alkimos, a friend of Panagopoulos'. "We don't want to think he is dead."
Perez-Almeida even went to one hospital thinking her husband was there, only to face the bitter disappointment of not finding him.
Authorities delivered the bad news to her on Thursday.
Perez-Almeida and Panagopoulos used to go to Greece, his native country, every summer. She plans to take his body there for burial.
Carmen Tanco was a longtime member of the Bethel Gospel Assembly, located in a building a few blocks from the scene of Wednesday's explosion.
Associate pastor Gordon Williams said Tanco "was known as 'Auntie' to just about everybody."
The 67-year-old dental hygienist had gone on medical missions with the church to South Africa, Nigeria and the Dominican Republic. She had been planning to return to the Dominican Republic in July for another mission.
Williams said Tanco told him she was planning to take a little bottle filled with coins on the trip to give to children or anyone else who might need them.
"She was always looking to bless and help and be there," Williams said.
One of Tanco's cousins, Angel Vargas, said Tanco moved to New York from Puerto Rico around 1970. He said she had been married and divorced and had no children.
Vargas said Tanco was a cherished presence at family gatherings over the years.
"She was always that person who would get up and dance and have fun with everyone," he said. "She was the life of the party.
Griselde Camacho had been a member of the Bethel Gospel Assembly for about six years, officials said.
Camacho, 45, a public safety officer at Hunter College, volunteered as an audio-visual technician at the church, operating the PowerPoint presentations during Bishop Carlton T. Brown's sermons.
Brown said Camacho "was always seeking to do her best, eager to serve, eager to please."
Hunter College President Jennifer Raab called Camacho "a well-liked member of our community, a respected officer and a welcoming presence at our Silberman building."
Camacho was a single mother of a teenage son, said Ruth-Ann Wynter, director of ministry relations at Bethel.
Rosaura Hernandez worked at Triomphe Restaurant in the Iroquois Hotel as a line cook.
Hotel general manager Robert Holmes called Hernandez's death "truly a terrible loss."
Holmes said the 22-year-old was at the restaurant just under two years. He said she started as an intern and became a line cook when a position opened up.
He said she was "calm, cool and collected" in the demanding restaurant environment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has congratulated Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh ah-bay), the head of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, following his party's win in Sunday's parliamentary elections.
Abe is expected to be installed as Japan's newest prime minister later this month. The White House says both sides talked about the importance of the U.S.-Japanese alliance as a source of peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region.
The two leaders also discussed efforts to enhance security and economic ties between their countries and U.S.-Japanese cooperation on regional and global issues.
Abe served as prime minister for a year in 2006-2007.

Less than a year after the initial release of Flock 1.0, we are proud to release Flock 2.0. Flock 2.0 has been through three beta cycles, enjoyed tremendous feedback from our community of users and is a significant step forward in capability and quality. And, this final release of Flock 2.0 has some great new capabilities that have not been made available in any prior 2.0 beta release. Let me take a moment to tell you what to expect in Flock 2.0.
Flock 2.0 is built on the latest Firefox 3 technology from Mozilla, so you'll find it to be snappy, safe and easier to use. Flock 2.0 also comes with some great new features not found in any other browser today.
First of all, we're very pleased to announce that we've added MySpace as a major new addition to our suite of 23 other popular services integrated within Flock. MySpace was the #1 most requested service from our community. Now MySpace lovers can stay up to date with their MySpace friends and activities no matter where they are on the web. MySpace users will also find that Flock offers the easiest way to upload photos, insert photos and videos in MySpace comment fields and share most any web content by simply dragging and dropping it into the Flock People sidebar.
Flock 2 also incorporates Media RSS (MRSS) detection capability so that you can subscribe to media streams being made available by websites, even if the site isn't one of the 23 integrated with Flock. Once you've subscribed to a media stream via Media RSS, you will be notified about the arrival of new photos and videos posted by your favorite sites and they will flow right into your MyWorld page in Flock, so you never miss out on updates to your favorite media streams. We'll go into this great new capability in depth in a later blog post.
For the first time, we are also making themes available for Flock 2. Check out extensions.flock.com and install a theme to customize the look of Flock. We're shipping today with two new themes, and will be adding many more over the coming weeks and months.

December 24, 2012
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently released its report on Sexually Transmitted Diseases for 2011. Sadly, there are few surprises. With a total of 1,412,791 cases, Chlamydia trachomatis infection remains the STD leader. This figure is the largest number of cases ever reported to CDC for any condition and represents an increase of 8.0% compared with the rate in 2010. The national gonorrhea rate increased as well after over a decade of fluctuation and/or decline. However, the greatest concern about the "clap," as we used to call it, is its increasing resistance to the medications commonly used to treat it, cephalosporins and azithromycin.
Syphilis, which we once actually believed could be eliminated, continues to thwart those efforts. Although the 2011 rate remained unchanged from 2010, it continues to grow in MSM and, now, women. With other STDs such as HPV, trichomoniasis and herpes also showing consistent increases, the overriding conclusion that one must draw is that we continue to experience this epidemic of preventable diseases.
The most troubling aspect remains the disparities in race and age. Younger minorities continue to be disproportionately affected by STDs. Which brings me to my main point: the need for compulsory sex education in schools. A recent report by the Guttmacher Institute highlights the information gap:
See the disconnect here?
With STD rates rising in children, especially minority children, over half the states don't require education to prevent STDs, or unwanted pregnancies. I understand that discussions about sex education in school are like the proverbial "third rail," because parents feel that they should be the ones providing the information. The problem is that many don't do it and others are poorly informed. While the Guttmacher report states that parents are considered an important source of information on sexual health for teens, it adds that their knowledge may often be inaccurate or incomplete. The report also fails to mention the number of children who are not living with their parents, such as those living with other relatives, in foster care or in group homes.
The bottom line here is that this belief system that sex education should remain at home isn't working. As there is no evidence to support that sex education promotes more sexual activity (most parents greatest fear), then it is time that we have a substantive dialogue with parents to allay their fears and gain their support. Legislators, too, should be more assertive in passing legislation to mandate it. It's time that we address this issue before more young lives are ruined.

Transition to Hope
This year marks Bell's 14th as the executive director of the Philadelphia-based BEBASHI (Blacks Educating Blacks About Sexual Health), founded in 1985 as the nation's first AIDS organization serving African Americans with HIV. Bell has been widely praised, not only for increasing funding and accountability at a time when HIV donations have plummeted, but also for launching such innovative programs as a women's initiative, prison-discharge planning, and, most recently, a diabetes intervention.

Since you mentioned cranberries, I kept thinking about them while I was reading the article. And I wonder if a can of whole cranberries could be substituted for bananas in banana bread. It could be delicious -- or it could be a total disaster. I'll have to make a note to myself to try it.
8 Spectacular Uses for that Lone Can of Fruit
I'm not really sure how I ended up with those strange assorted cans of fruit in my cupboard. Was it a gift from Grandma? A dented-can special? Maybe I grabbed the mango instead of the pineapple by mistake. Whatever the reason for my fruit folly, now I must do something with it. Here are eight surefire tricks for using it up in a yummy way today!
Meatloaf and meatballs. Fruited meats are a tricky thing. If not done correctly, they can seem more appropriate as a dessert than a main course. My favorite way to use up those cheap cans of cranberries (that often go on sale this time of year) is as a topping for meatloaf or meatballs. Just mix some brown sugar, a bit of lemon juice, and a can of whole cranberries (the gelled stuff will work, also) and spoon it over your loaves before baking. So delicious, no one ever guesses that it is made from cranberries!
Dump cake. This oddly-named dessert is a breeze to make, costs less than a few dollars, and tastes heavenly. Use any variety of canned fruit, a yellow cake mix, and a few other affordable ingredients to create this goof-proof specialty. See all of our dump-cake recipes in an earlier post.
Sweet and Sour. My favorite make-ahead dish is a sweet and sour chicken. I use this recipe for the sauce most often:
1 sm. can cut pineapple
2 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. vinegar
1 clove garlic (optional)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. Ginger
If I don't have pineapple on hand (which is often), I substitute most any canned sour fruit with amazing results. We have used cherry-flavored fruit cocktail, tropical fruit mix, and peaches. I also add sliced green pepper (which is stored in my freezer from the gardening months) and big chunks of red and white onion. Another yummy version of this is a Polynesian Sausage dinner, where instead of chicken, I use cut-up polska kielbasa and the tropical fruit blend (mango, pineapple, and pears.) Everything is served over rice.
Stuffed chops and breasts. White meat works really well for "stuffing." You can play around with your favorite boxed stuffing, (by adding canned cherries, apples, or pears) or go with a homemade rendition. Just slice the meat into two horizontally, and spoon generous portions of your stuffing into the meat. Bake a few minutes longer than you normally would, and be sure that you cover it with a lid or foil. It's a nice, moist main dish that takes little skill to pull off.
Pancakes and waffles. Do you really think that places like IHOP and Denny's have a "secret" to their amazing fruit-topped breakfast creations? Most restaurants just used food-service grade canned fruits as toppers, and jazz up the presentation with nuts, creams, or crumbles for effect. Pancakes and waffles are a dirt cheap meal that you can have most any time of day. Just top with canned apples, cherries, or any pie-worthy filling for the yummiest stack ever!
Compote. This one's a bit too fancy for most evenings at the Knerl house, but it is a fantastic way to rid your cupboard of the truly strange canned fruit varieties (i.e. plums!) I've heard several versions of this recently, but it's very simple to prepare. This version is very standard, and this extra special dish uses a little alcohol for kick! So what's a girl to do with compote? Eat it alone, top it with whipped or sour cream, or serve it alongside rich meats.
Jello. Yeah, I said it. It may be a little too reminiscent of your cafeteria lunch days, but most every kid I know likes Jello. (And it's a fantastically cheap way to stash some canned fruit nutrition into a perfectly-squared snack.) Just avoid the tropical fruit medley in your Jello. (The acidity of the mangoes can keep the Jello from setting up properly.)
Bread. I used to think that you can only use dried fruits in a bread machine recipe. I have since found out that for a quick bread or sweet bread setting, canned fruit can work for some tasty varieties. Just check out this pineapple cranberry bread or peaches and cream recipe.
The next time you're tempted to pass off that odd can of fruit onto your local food pantry, consider how you can create an incredible dish with your canned dilemma. Then donate a nice turkey or ham to your shelter, instead. They could really use it!

My (and particularly my son's) favorite thing to do with a can of fruit is to blend it up, add in a few things (light veg and salad is easily hidden, for tart fruits honey and coconut milk sweeten very well) and pour over cereal instead of milk makes a very nice start to the day. 2 cans usually lasts in a pitcher for about a week.
I haven't done the kielbasa, pineapple and green pepper thing in years. Thanks for the reminder, Linsey. The compote idea sounds interesting too.
... takes me back. When we ran out of milk when I was a kid, my mom would open a can of fruit cocktail and put that over our cereal instead. We LOVED it of course -- what kid wouldn't prefer heavy syrup to milk?
The cereal thing blows my mind. I learn something new every day! Thanks for sharing!

Cranberries are way to tart to sub for bananas in banana bread Plus, they are not sweet. You would end up with bread that tastes like cranberry sauce. EEEW! You could mix a few into the banana bread batter, though. That would probably be tasty and add counterpoint to the bananas. Although Blueberries sounds better to me.
The point of it is for the bread to taste like cranberry sauce. Besides, canned cranberries are sweetened, at least in my country, and the recipe also contains sugar.
Neat ideas. I got this great deal on whole cranberry relish and now we're going away for the meal. Now I know what we can do with it.
Great tips and tricks from the post and comments! Will definitely try some out. I wrote a post for a cheap and easy pancake recipe a week or two ago. Once you know how to make this batter, it makes you wonder how IHOP can charge so much for pancakes.
We have a toddler who loves her fruit so we have tons of canned fruit (mostly peaches, pears, and mixed fruit). I make fruit pancakes buy mixing my normal batter, dumping the canned fruit in my pan, adding a little butter, alot of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. I let the fruit cook until the liquid turns into a thick syrup. I spread the fruit around in pan so it will be evenly distributed. Next I pour my batter onto the fruit and make my pancakes as normal. You can also make the pancakes and fruit syrup individually and top the pancakes after cooking.
How about eating the fruit straight from the can? I have enjoyed many a canned fruit lounging around. Saves on water and you've made space on the cupboard.

Ohio judge rules in favor of same-sex couple who married in Maryland
July 25, 2013
Earlier this week, a federal judge in Ohio ruled that state officials must respect the marriage of a Cincinnati couple, John Arthur and James Obergefell, who married in MD after 20 years together. John and James made the journey to Maryland to marry as John nears the end of his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They then sued their home state of Ohio, which has a discriminatory constitutional amendment that excludes same-sex couples from marriage and bars them from attaining any other form of family status. In his decision, Judge Timothy Black wrote, "There is insufficient evidence of a legitimate state interest to justify this singling out of same sex married couples given the severe and irreparable harm it imposes."
John and James' dramatic journey to Maryland on July 11 required a medical transport plane to carry John in his hospice bed, at a cost of more than $12,000. In a brief, touching ceremony, they were married on the airport tarmac in Baltimore by John's aunt before returning to Ohio. Watch full video from the ceremony HERE.
Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson commented on the ruling this week. He said:
With John Arthur on his deathbed, he and his beloved, James Obergefell, literally had to charter a plane and fly to get married elsewhere on American soil because their home state of Ohio cruelly denies them the freedom to marry at home. No couple should be forced to leave home to make legal their love and commitment to each other, and as a federal court this week rightly affirmed, no couple should suffer the indignity of returning home only to be told, 'Your marriage doesn't matter here. … Every day of denial is a day of massive unfairness and cruel hardship, and we know that Ohio – and America – can and must do better.
Ohioans like John and James deserve respect for their love and commitment, and should be able to have their lawful marriage respected under the law in their home state. Armed with the Supreme Court's latest ruling and the power of stories like these that touch hearts and change minds, Freedom to Marry will continue to work towards ending marriage discrimination in every state and winning marriage nationwide.

NEW YORK (AP) — New Yorkers do care: A fellow rider helped a man who wound up on the subway tracks.
It occurred days after another man was pushed to his death in front of an oncoming train. No one seemingly came to his aid.
Voice of America journalist Margaret Besheer says it happened Thursday night at Bowling Green station in Lower Manhattan.
She saw a disoriented man sitting between the rails. People on the platform were screaming "a train is coming!" Next, she saw another man on the tracks helping the victim to his feet.
The train stopped before entering the station. Cheers erupted as the two men pulled themselves up to the platform.
Authorities didn't have details of the incident Friday. The New York Post reported it first.

Deployed to a volatile outpost in southern Afghanistan where U.S. Marines routinely face a mix of skirmishes and hidden explosives, Greg Buckley Jr. sensed that an attack was imminent.
And he knew that it would come from within.
The 21-year-old Marine was posted to Garmsir in Helmand Province, where he was training local security forces as part of NATO's planned withdrawal in 2014.
It was during a static-filled phone call to his father over the summer that the Long Island native mentioned a run-in he had with an Afghan trainee while on guard duty.
The encounter was the first in which the Buckley family's eldest son seemed to sense something was wrong, according to what he told his family in phone conversations and a letter.
"The guy turned around and said to Greg, 'We don't want you here. We don't need you here,'" his dad said.
"Greg turned around again and said, 'Why would you say that?'" according to Greg Buckley Sr.
But the trainee apparently wouldn't relent, repeating the phrases for hours over the course of a night in which the young Marine was on guard watch.
"Greg said, 'I thought I was going to lose my mind,'" his father said. "Pitch black out, and all he kept saying over and over again is, 'We don't want you. We don't need you. We don't want you.'"
"It was just tormenting for him."
The two men then finally confronted each other, yelling until a group of officers separated them, he told his father.
"One of his superiors came over and had Greg apologize to the guy," said the elder Buckley.
The 21-year-old agreed and extended his hand, but the man refused.
About a month later, Greg phoned his father again.
"He told me if I have to stay here until November... I'm not going to come home."
Greg also asked his father to prepare to tell his mother and his two younger brothers that he'd be killed.
"I don't understand," his father said. "Out in the field?'
"No, in our base," Greg replied.
On August 10, 2012, Greg Buckley Jr. was gunned down by the very forces he had been training, just days after learning that he was to head home early.
"It was only two days he had left there in Afghanistan," his father told CNN.
The phenomenon is known as "green-on-blue," due to a color-coding system used by NATO. It has become disturbingly more frequent in Afghanistan, with more than 50 NATO troops killed this year by local forces, the first time that's happened in a single year in the U.S.-led war.
Last year, 35 people died in such insider attacks, and even less the year before, according to NATO figures.
The killings have prompted suspensions of training new recruits while eroding the trust between NATO and its Afghan allies.
The gunman involved in Greg's death attacked from inside his outpost and killed two other fellow Marines, his dad said.
But Greg Sr. said his son had informed his superior officers that "one day they are going turn around and turn those weapons on us."
CNN cannot independently confirm that Greg informed superior officers. Calls and emails to NATO's International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan were not immediately returned.
More than a decade after the war began, the Buckley family is now struggling to cope with the loss of its eldest son. More than 2,000 other U.S. service members have been killed in Operation Enduring Freedom.
"It's not really day-by-day," said Greg's mother, Marina Buckley. "It's more minute-by-minute."
Back in Oceanside, the Buckley family on Friday attended the town's first home football game, where their fallen son had intended to watch his youngest brother play varsity for the first time.
"Greg was supposed to be home for this game," said Justin, 17, who wore the number 30 on his back, Greg's old basketball number.
"I would tell him I love him and I miss him."
The senior running back, who donned a camouflage jersey along with his team, broke to the outside on Friday for a 25-yard score that helped cement the Sailors' improbable second-half comeback against top-ranked East Meadow.
After crossing into the end zone, Justin raised his hand to salute -- honoring his fallen brother.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. ~Aesop

Maybe this is unreasonable, but I can't help thinking that if you're going to make a movie with "Oz" in the title, you'd better be prepared to kick in at least a little inspiration. Yet that's precisely what's missing — so utterly absent it's almost impressive in a way — in the painfully uninspired Legends of Oz.
Read Full Review
It's a loud Oz hodgepodge that never adheres to a prevailing tone long enough to allow viewers to emotionally engage with those characters in spite of some admittedly inspired CG flourishes.
See all Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 6+
Kids will like well-intentioned sequel, but it lacks magic.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is a sweet, if unoriginal, 3D animated musical that boasts a cast of characters who will be familiar to fans of the original Wizard of Oz, as well as many new ones. This time around, Dorothy (voiced by Glee's Lea Michele) returns to Oz to help face a new calamity. Expect some battles that may be scary for younger kids (especially in 3D) -- the flying monkeys are, as always, menacing, as is the central villain, the Jester, who essentially tortures the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man. Another character is gravely hurt after a skirmish, and Dorothy's Kansas home is shown as having sustained a lot of damage from the tornado that first took her to Oz. On the up side, there's no swearing (though words like "knucklehead" and "fool" are used), sex, drinking, or other iffy stuff.
Educational value: Children will learn a little about what happens after a disaster, since Dorothy's family is shown dealing with the aftermath of the tornado. A streak of activism runs through the film, as Dorothy fights for her family's right to stay in their home and rebuild.
Messages: Power corrupts, and so can hungering for it. Also, you can do anything you want if you set your mind to it. So think positively!
Role models: Dorothy is brave, humble, and caring, and she wants to stand up for what's right. Her friends also embody positive character traits, including courage, determination, generosity, and commitment.
Violence and scariness: In 3D, some of the battle scenes (even if they're between flying monkeys and chocolate soldiers) can be intense, especially for very young children. After one skirmish, a character is injured severely, and younger viewers may be upset. The Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow are tortured by a villain; his "punishments" include submerging the Tin Man in water and attaching the Scarecrow to a spinning wheel surrounded by fire. Kansas is shown as having been ravaged by the tornado that originally transported Dorothy to Oz.
Sexy stuff: Innocent romance between two of Dorothy's new friends.
Language: Words like "fool" and "knucklehead" are used to disparage others.
Consumerism: Although there are no product placements in the actual film, Legends of Oz has lots of merchandise/tie-ins available.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not applicable
