Michelle Obama's hashtag gamble
When international outrage over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls reached fever pitch last week, the Obama administration's most headline-grabbing public condemnation didn't come from the Oval Office, the State Department or the Pentagon, but from an unlikelier address: the East Wing, with the unusual emergence of Michelle Obama.
The decision to act was her own, say sources close to the first lady. She started with a photo and tweet with the message "#bringbackourgirls." Then she addressed the nation Saturday, delivering the White House's weekly message solo for the first time.
Story Continued Below
The initial choice to weigh in, and related moves in the days since, have been unusual for Obama. She has long been a first lady who selects her causes carefully, one who has never waded into a truly heated, front-burner foreign policy issue before — certainly not one where her voice could influence life-or-death consequences for the girls, still held captive in a terrorist camp.
( From POLITICO Magazine: Can a handful of troops #BringBackOurGirls?)
And while Obama's most visible efforts don't provide a complete picture of the ways the United States is aiding the Nigerian government in their quest to end the crisis, they have become the public image of that effort.
If the story ends well, there are clear benefits — not just for the missing girls and their families, but for the administration. But if the saga ends in tragedy, Obama could have attracted more attention to yet another instance in which her husband's administration has spoken out against human rights violations but failed to stop them.
"If public outrage galvanizes the United States or Nigeria to respond effectively to the kidnapping, great. It's worthwhile," said Bronwyn Bruton, deputy director of the Atlantic Council's Africa Center . "But my fear is that this outrage is going to encourage [Boko Haram] to kidnap more women" since the incident has shown the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, a way to get western attention and to undermine the Nigerian government, based in Abuja.
Obama is fiercely focused, deliberate and intentional when it comes to choosing the causes she embraces, the events she attends and the areas on which she speaks out. The first lady's office declined to comment on her involvement. But people close to Obama say the decision was driven by both policy considerations and emotional ones, since the story involved girls about the same age as her two daughters suffering in captivity and facing slavery or death.
( Also on POLITICO: Conservatives skeptical of power of Twitter)
"It was an outflow of the things that she has been so passionate about from the get-go: kids, education, women's rights," said Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist who advised Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign and has close ties to the first lady's office. "It was an opportunity to express the administration's support and outreach."
While many activists have been happy to see the first lady's support, experts remain divided about the long-term effectiveness of Obama's involvement — and its potential to backfire.
In the days since she first spoke out, supporters of the first lady's approach have said the "hashtag diplomacy" employed by Obama and others in the administration — and ridiculed by many on the right — has helped draw attention to the kidnapping, in the United States and around the world.
The first lady's response "was exactly right because you're dealing with an issue that is highly emotional for a great many Americans and it was a way of expressing solidarity," said John Campbell, who served as U.S. ambassador to Nigeria from 2004 to 2007. "The concern and the horror that the first lady was expressing I think is genuinely felt. One of the jobs of the first family is to give voice to that concern."

Starbucks is asking its customers to channel caffeine into creative cup designs, then tweet their masterpieces using the hashtag #WhiteCupContest. The grand prize? Your design sold on a re-usable cup, 25 of the cups, and a $300 Starbucks gift card. Last call for submissions is May 12th.
Certain people have been trying to tell us this all along.
Upon hearing that his flight was being led by a woman, a passenger left this note for pilot Carey Smith Steacy. She posted photos of the note to her Facebook page, along with this response:
To @David in 12E on my flight #463 from Calgary to Victoria today. It was my pleasure flying you safely to your destination. Thank you for the note you discreetly left me on your seat. You made sure to ask the flight attendants before we left if I had enough hours to be the Captain so safety is important to you, too. I respectfully disagree with your opinion that the "cockpit" (we now call it the flight deck as no cocks are required) is no place for a lady. In fact, there are no places that are not for ladies anymore. I have heard many comments from people throughout my 17 year career as a pilot. Most of them positive. Your note is, without a doubt, the funniest. It was a joke, right? RIGHT?? I thought, not. You were more than welcome to deplane when you heard I was a "fair lady." You have that right. Funny, we all, us humans, have the same rights in this great free country of ours. Now, back to my most important role, being a mother.
While some artists have hipsterized decidedly corporate images (such as NFL team logos), a team at Cornett Integrated Marketing Solutions decided to go in the other direction. If a handcrafted organic frozen coffee drink looks like a venti Frappuccino, will a hipster still drink it?
Few are as dedicated to their jobs as Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw. When he got word that a patient needed surgery six miles away and Tuesday's snow-induced traffic prevented him from driving, he simply walked. Hrynkiw states that "It wasn't that big of a deal" and "it was kind of a fun journey." He even stopped to help some cars out of a ditch. Watch his news conference here.

Mayweather Vs Mosley
The fight is tomorrow(May 1st, 2010)..WHo do do you think will win? I'm kind of 50/50 on this. If mayweather wins, a big possibility of him facing paquiao regardless of all the requests, promoters will try to push it. If Mosley wins, he'll face pacquiao as well-no holding back like he said. From what I remember, they were suppose to face each other 10 years ago, but it never happen. I'm pretty sure one of them turn down the fight. For some reason, I don't want to see Mayweather blemish his undefeated record of 40-0 regardless of the controversy about picking his opponents, I could careless now, but we gotta see who really is the best pound for pound. I think its in these 3 fighters (Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Mosley). One of them has to be on top. My instinct tells me mayweather will win since he has the title "technician" or somethin, even though I'm on mosley's side because he's been on the game longer than mayweather, so I might just have to bet my money online on Floyd.
Hopefully this one should be entertaining.

The Provost's Office works with the college Deans and the Faculty Senate to develop and document policies to ensure the quality of Lawrence Tech's academic programs. The Faculty Handbook PDF documents the governance structure and processes here at Lawrence Tech to develop policies.
Administrative Practice for Doctoral Supervision
This practice clarifies administrative practice related to the 2012 Faculty Handbook, Section 2.1.1, Primary Academic Teaching Provisions: n) supervising no more than five (5) concurrent doctoral student dissertations.
Doctoral dissertations are typically supervised by one (1) full-time LTU faculty member who is academically qualified in the area of the student's study. Thee may be isolated cases where a doctoral student dissertation is co-chaired between two faculty members. In these cases, each co-chaired dissertation counts as one (1) student towards each faculty member's limit of five (5) concurrent doctoral student dissertations.
The department chair and the faculty members are to determine how the associated dissertation credits are accumulated and recorded for purposes of future release time or payout (this will usually be a 50/50 split). If a doctoral student dissertation is shared between two faculty members, both faculty members must be listed in Banner as instructors for all dissertation course CRNs.
Co-chairships are treated as exceptions to policy but can be justified under circumstances such as:
- The faculty members are CO-PIs on externally funded research projects.
- The faculty members serve as the technical expert on separate portions of the research scope of work.
- The faculty members are equally qualified (as demonstrated by their scholarly record) in the same domain of research as outlined in the scope of work.
This administrative practice has been approved by the doctoral program directors and deans of the College of Engineering and Management, in collaboration with the Dean of Graduate Studies. The decision was shared with the Deans' Council in November 2012.

Emergency Exit Lighting Battery
Safety first. This should always be the plan of any builder and facilitator of a commercial building or office space. Emergency Exit Lights are the guide to safety for any employee, guest or student within your building and it's important they always stay bright and vibrant.
The importance of an Emergency Exit Light is often overlooked. What leads you to safety when smoke from a fire clouds a room? How do you know which way to evacuate if you haven't been through the disaster evacuation plan? Your Emergency Exit Light is everyone's compass to safety, but how do you keep it powered and running constantly? A strong battery.
Home Security stocks UL Listed batteries (the industry standard in safety clearance) for a reason. We believe in quality and safety above all else. Our batteries that light Emergency Exit signs vary in size, amount of power and life span because we know that you need options.
All of our Emergency Exit Light batteries are UPS (uninterruptible power supplies) so they can serve more than one purpose because flexibility is never a bad thing. UPS batteries are great for use with Emergency Lighting, ATVs, Gate Openers, Medical Mobility and security systems among many other uses.
Light up the darkness and the path to safety with help from HomeSecurityStore.com's supply of Emergency Exit Light Batteries.

JDO defines an interface (or API) to persist normal Java objects (or POJO's in some peoples terminology) to a datastore. JDO doesn't define the type of datastore. It is datastore-agnostic . You would use the same interface to persist your Java object to RDBMS, or OODBMS, or XML, or whatever form of data storage. JDO is a standard . JDO1 has been in existence since 2002, whilst JDO2 was approved in early 2005 and there have been 2 revisions, and a major version since. JDO defines the interface that an implementation has to implement. DataNucleus Data Access Platform is an implementation of the JDO interface specification(s) (JDO1, JDO2, JDO2.1, JDO2.2, JDO3). There are other implementations. The whole point of having a standard interface is that users can, in principle, swap between implementations of JDO without changing their code.
JDO has the following principal areas.
Apache JDO is the project controlling the direction of the JDO standard and, as such, is the place to go for information specific to the standard API.
You could also download a Free JDO1 book and do some reading.
This release of DataNucleus AccessPlatform requires JDO2.3, which is not yet released. You can find a snapshot of this (built from Apache JDO SVN) included in the AccessPlatform download, or on our Maven2 repository

Challenging Colleges to Cut Costs Through Technology
If you're a parent, you might want to sit down. Some financial advisors predict a four-year college education that begins in 2015 will cost about $120,000. And that's for public school. The private price tag runs closer to $230,000.
You can exhale now. Thankfully, the federal government has taken note of the ever-heavier burden families bear to cover college tuition. In his January 24 State of the Union address, President Obama challenged higher education institutions to find innovative ways to cut costs and acknowledged universities that have optimized their technology in an effort to lower student expenses. His praises echoed those delivered by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at the November 2011 Financial Student Aid conference.
So exactly how can schools use technology to help lower expenses? Well, with telepresence alone they can do the following:
- Develop faculty – Telepresence technology can link educators to a vast array of professional development courses and experts across the world. They need not incur hefty travel expenses; telepresence provides a live, high-definition, in-person connection to offices, classrooms, and conference rooms anywhere.
- Engage students one-on-one – Student-teacher relationships can define one's college experience. With telepresence, professors and students can benefit from face-to-face access outside the classroom, beyond the limited office hours professors schedule. Telepresence can go mobile—faculty/student contact can take place easily, from anywhere, any time it's convenient for both parties, and the universities can perhaps repurpose some physical space.
- Enhance curricula – Higher education establishments can (and are starting to) enrich courses by forging global connections. Universities could look to further use telepresence to promote data sharing, visual presentation, and project collaboration, all tools students or faculty can use in-call, saving travel expenses and opening doors to participation in cutting-edge research, interesting debate, or innovative development hosted anywhere.
On the Hill, the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training continues to evaluate ways colleges can reduce costs. Can you think of other contributions technology—especially telepresence—can make? Let us know today!

Totally agreed on the point By adopting Telepresence Tech we can cut our major costs.
Already same is used by lots of major organizations on word levels and have shown major cost cut downs.

Although women have made huge strides recently, they only make up three percent of VCs and 12 percent of angel investors.
Binta Brown is trying to fix that.
The corporate lawyer, recently named to Fortune's 40 under 40— for being one of the nation's top fundraisers, among other things— says that she's ready to break into the world of investing.
But she has a very specific goal: to help fund more women-owned tech startups. "For me, it's actually representative of a broader point, which is that all of us really want to maximize the potential of humanity," she tells us. "We really want to maximize the potential for prosperity and global prosperity. We have to, in every possible way, maximize the capacity of women. It's simple math, from my perspective, which is to say that if we are more than one half of the population, but if we are under-utilized, then the world isn't benefiting from what we might have to offer."
Brown explains that a lot of people want to have women-run businesses because women are consumers and it makes sense from a markets and capital perspective. But she says that what is often more relevant when trying to find the best minds, the best ideas, and the most creative solutions is that you simply cannot do so without half the population.
She explains, "If women aren't at the table in every possible way, then the world isn't benefiting from them because, just statistically, it can't be the case."
But when Brown says she wants more women in tech, she doesn't mean to create a fun app for her iPhone. She's thinking much bigger. "I'm talking about a technology business or a business that utilizes technology to solve a particular kind of problem or that utilizes technology to disrupt an ongoing problem that is scalable and has the capacity to generate massive revenue and employ thousands of people. I'm really not talking about somebody sitting in their apartment that can put a pretty button on my iPhone."
To make this happen Brown says she'll do whatever she can to help women get their feet wet. After being a mentor and advisor for women for many years both at Barnard and through non-profit fundraising, she's more than qualified to work with driven women.
"I'm in and out of the entrepreneurial startup world all of the time. I'm always meeting people and what happens more often than not is people ask me for my advice, and my opinion, and my thoughts, and I help them," she says. "So the ideal situation would be for me to aggregate more capital and to be in a position to make more investments and advise more companies."
Brown says that for now she just wants to get out there and do more public speaking and business advisement. That will enable her to get her name out there and help people that could use it. "The more you do it, the more opportunities you become aware of and the more good you can do in the process," she explains.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced today $17 million in grants for 208 humanities projects, including a documentary film on the legendary American landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmstead, whose designs have helped shape the urban landscapes of New York, Chicago, Boston, Milwaukee, and many other U.S. cities.
This funding will support a wide variety of projects ranging from an interactive collection of resources on the history of St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565, to helping professors develop new courses on such topics as "What is Free Will?" The grants will also support fellowships for scholarly research, the development and staging of exhibitions, digital tools, and the preservation of humanities collections and reference resources.
Among the grants announced are those that will support a traveling exhibition focusing on the events and impact of the American Revolution within colonial America's western frontier between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, and an authorship attribution project that will use digital tools to compare the style of Abraham Lincoln's later speeches and papers against anonymous newspaper articles sometimes attributed to Lincoln from early in his career.
Several projects receiving grants in this funding cycle will help preserve fragile historical and cultural collections and make them more accessible to the broader public, such as an effort by the New York City Municipal Archives to preserve and index approximately 51,500 New York District Attorney felony case files dating from 1916 to 1925.
NEH grants will also allow humanities scholars to pursue research on topics such as the influence of international dance performances in New York City between 1943 and 1960 on the development of American dance and choreography, and the "free produce" Revolutionary-era boycott led by Quakers and abolitionists to protest slave-made goods as an early example of consumer activism.
"The grants announced today highlight the breadth of exceptional research supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities," said NEH Chairman Jim Leach. "Whether it is supporting the scholars who comb through archives in search of long overlooked facts and perspectives, bringing compelling humanities exhibits and programming into communities across the country, or applying new technologies to enduring human questions, these projects will open up new ways of understanding our world and our past."
Institutions and independent scholars in 42 states and the District of Columbia will receive NEH support. Complete state-by-state listings of grants are available here (39-page PDF).
Grants were awarded in the following categories:
- America's Historical and Cultural Organizations: Planning and Implementation Grants support projects that create new ways to excite, inform, and stir thoughtful reflection upon culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways.
- America's Media Makers: Development Grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop humanities content and to prepare programs for production.
- America's Media Makers: Production Grants support the preparation of a media program for distribution.
- Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants encourage innovations in the digital humanities by supporting the planning stages of projects.
- Enduring Questions Grants allow faculty members to develop a new undergraduate course that grapples with a fundamental question addressed by the humanities.
- Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions provide scholars with research time and success to resources that might not be available at their home institutions.
- Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Grants allow institutions to preserve and provide access to collections essential to scholarship, education, and public programming in the humanities.
- NEH On the Road Grants help small sites defray the cost of hosting an NEH traveling exhibition.
- Summer Stipends support full-time work by a scholar on a humanities project for a period of two months.

Sony Ericsson Cedar Review
posted by Basil K. / Nov 25, 2010, 8:44 AM
This is a global GSM phone. It can be used with T-Mobile USA and AT&T, but without 3G.
Sony Ericsson Cedar. With a sufficiently organic name, the Cedar takes its position as an entry level phone with a few very nice elements such as a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3G and expandable memory to make it more than just a simple candybar phone with a bit of green on the side.
Shipped in a teeny tiny box and you recognize that the green starts before you even switch on the phone. Open the box and it's pretty barren, there is none of the superficiality or grandeur as found in other handset boxes, just the Sony Ericsson Cedar, a wall-charger and some papers. The phone itself is markedly plastic (recycled plastic at that), with three core elements: the phone body, the battery and the silver-coloured battery cover which takes up the entirety of the back of the phone along with a fair amount of the sides. On the top is a 3.5mm headphone jack, on the left a microUSB port and on the right a volume rocker. The fascia is home to the numeric pad, a menu, clear, call, end buttons and two soft keys as well as a four way d-pad and the 2.2-inch screen.
You can compare the Sony Ericsson Cedar with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
The Sony Ericsson Cedar screen is a non-touch-screen TFT measuring in at 2.2 inches with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. While viewing angles are good up, down and left, tilting the phone right will unfortunately blow out the contrast very quickly. Nothing is particularly sharp, however brightness levels are on the whole good and we didn't have trouble viewing it outdoors.
The keys are all heavily raised at the bottom, semi-rubberised and very grippy and tactile. This means they are easily distinguishable up and down though left to right they are completely flush with one another which is a shame. They do provide a good click feedback though and are clearly labelled. Text entry is comfortable, and while the handset does feel very plastic, we'll attribute this to the green theme and give an overall thumbs up to the design of the Greenheart phone based on its usability.

1. x2 camera is 5mp but doesn't have any quality of photo. cedar 2mp camera is better than that. 2. x2 is loud but through headphone not sweet like cedar. 3. x2 has no 3G that cedar have. 4. x2 doesn't support YouTube that cedar can. Need More? x2 is a city-gold, Cedar is a gold of low price.

Obviously, Nokia X2 is better than Sony Ericsson Cedar. I considered buying SE Spiro and SE Cedar but Nokia wins my decision. I compared their specs, and Nokia X2 managed to top any of the phones I considered. Nokia looks great, has 5-MP camera, better-looking UI, more customizable, etc. I love SE too but for now I think I'll have to go with Nokia X2.

I have this phone recently and I'm very satisfied about it. Offcourse it is a basic phone but it does its job very good. I cannot really say anything bad about this phone. The buttons feel good, they give enough feedback and the screen is clear. Advantages are the standard connections (micro-usb and 3.5" audio jack), and the battery life, it lasts at least 8 days with normal use.

I bought this phone weeks ago. It's a pretty sweet phone. In the Cedar vs X2 issue, well it just depends on what you need really. I too had the dilemma of which to pick. But since I'm too sick of qwerty, and I have a smartphone that pretty much does it all, I chose Cedar over X2 because my main reason for getting it was I'll be using it to call and just send short messages-- mostly calls though. One noticeable defect(?) is that when music volume is maxed on loudspeaker, the sound gets too cracky and sounds very bad. Some of my music files won't play the last 5 seconds.. Anyhow, as I've said, it all just depends on what you need. As to the battery life, as I'm a frequent caller, my battery lasts to 2-3 days. Overall, I love Cedar :)

On contrary my friend, Cedar has superb sound quality as most SE products. Compared to some Nokia crap and others, I can easily connect my Cedar to my Hi-Fi at home/car and enjoy excellent reproduction of high bit rate MP3s. The problem (as with the other sound complains) are the earphone sets you are using. Cheap earphones = cheap sound, expensive earphones = GREAT sound! Try and see. I'm not using any sound enhancement on my set, because sound is full and pure as it supposed to be.

Great phone! The greatest thing about Cedar (J108) is well known SE user-friendliness. Simply make your custom chosen shortcuts and you're ready to fly. 3G works great for mobile surfing. It is not smart phone, no WiFi, java aps only...... but it is a PHONE that is joyful to use. If you combine it with My Phone Explorer on PC, you'll never want to get rid of it (I've tried twice to go for more expensive phones, came back quickly). And music sound is just astonished, can't be better, but the volume could be higher than it is. All in all, it's a baby you either like, or don't like (if you prefer smart gadgets that cook you lunch)

No Video Displaying For D-Link DCS-3220 Surveillance Camera
Earlier this week I brought some security cameras from my house to the computer shop to hookup not only for security but also so we could make some funny clips about what happens in the store and on the sidewalk outside of the store. I ended up bringing 4 cameras which included a D-Link DCS-3220 and three D-Link DCS-950G's. The D-Link DCS-3220 is a much nicer surveillance camera than the D-Link 950G's however it doesn't have wireless capabilities like the DCS-950G. The first camera I attempted to get working was the DCS-3220 but almost immediately I ran into issues which made me think I had damaged the camera bringing it to the shop.

November is National Marrow Awareness Month, and a great time to learn more about how you can help those in need of a marrow transplant. Every three minutes someone in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukemia. For many, their only hope for a cure is a bone marrow transplant. Both bone marrow and umbilical cord blood can be used for donation to help save someone's life.
Most of us in this community are aware of organ donation for transplants, we hear Phil talk about it at every show. The nice part about marrow donation is that you can help save a life without having to lose your own. The National Marrow Donor Program matches patients in need with volunteers who have registered to be marrow donors. The first step to being someone's cure is to join Be The Match Registry, see link below. If you meet the age and health requirements, you can sign up online or at a local registration drive. You just have to swab the inside of your cheek, no needles or pain involved to get your tissue type! That tissue type information will then be stored in the Registry's data base, and you only actually donate marrow if you're matched with a patient who matches your tissue type.
I've been in the program since the late 90's and still haven't been called, and I'd actually kind of like to be. About 1 in every 540 registrants is actually called to donate marrow. You truly can save someone's life this way. So please check out the program and consider becoming a part of the cure!

Kourtney Kardashian and Selena Gomez are stepping into the fashion coliseum in a set of sandals worthy of a Roman battle.
What they wore: Black leather Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals retailing at $398.
[Related: Fashion Faceoff: Rihanna vs. Nicole Richie]
When they wore it: The reality star rocked her studded sandals during a lunch date with her daughter, Penelope, at Taberna in Los Angeles on July 13. The "Come & Get It" singer stepped out in her fashionable footwear as she left a Burbank studio with her Starbucks in hand on July 21.
How they styled it: Selena kept her look casual with a pair of black shorts, a white T-shirt, a boho chic bag, and blown out locks. The mother of two rocked similar bottoms, but polished off her outfit with a green and black check blouse, an oversized diaper bag, and cat-eye sunglasses.
[Related: Fashion Faceoff: Britney Spears vs. Taylor Swift]
Judge's scorecard: While Kardashian scores points for dressing up the look with a little color (and toting a cute kiddo!), the sandals are enough of a statement piece that they don't need to be fussed with. Do you agree?

text: This book traces the history of Soviet nuclear policy from the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938 through the testing of the hydrogen bomb and the emergence of nuclear deterrence in the mid-1950s. Holloway describes the use of espionage in obtaining bomb information from the Americans, Stalin's approach to atomic diplomacy, the surprising autonomy of Soviet physics, the scientists' interaction with police in Russia, and the impact of Stalin's death. Perhaps the most interesting theme of the book is the author's claim that it was only after the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japan that the Soviets recognized their strategic importance and made a nuclear energy program a top priority. The book contains an excellent set of bibliographical notes.

UBS consumption indicator down due to drop in new car registrations
The UBS consumption indicator fell slightly in August. An increase in overnight hotel stays and the improvement in business conditions in the retail sector could not compensate for the decline in new car registrations.
Zurich/Basel, 25 September 2013 – – The UBS consumption indicator fell to 1.32 index points in August from 1.41 previously. UBS does not regard this as grounds for diverging from the recently raised forecasts for the Swiss economy, since private consumption is likely to continue growing robustly and to remain the most important pillar of the economy.
The Swiss are again more inclined to take domestic vacations. The number of overnight hotel stays by Swiss nationals has risen by 1.3%, or 122,000 overnight stays, to 9.3 million since the start of the year, compared with the same period last year. Hotel stays by non-Swiss persons, a figure not included in the UBS consumption indicator, increased by up to 2.3% to 11.8 million. Following two very challenging years, there are increasing signs that Swiss tourism has bottomed out.
Retailers also assess their situation somewhat more positively again. The index for business conditions in the retail trade jumped to +3.5 in August from –4.5. In contrast, seasonally adjusted new car registrations fell by 1.1% in August compared with the previous month. In the first eight months, 9.2% fewer registrations were recorded than in the same period last year. However, the 2012 record benchmark year was very high. Despite the decline, the first eight months of this year have still seen the third-highest number of new car registrations in the last 10 years.
How the UBS Consumption Indicator is calculated
The UBS Consumption Indicator signals private consumption trends in Switzerland with a lead time of about three months on the official figures. At roughly 60%, private consumption is by far the most important component of Swiss GDP. UBS calculates this leading indicator from five consumer-related parameters: new car registrations, business activity in the retail sector, the number of domestic overnight hotel stays by Swiss residents, the consumer sentiment index, and credit card transactions made via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. With the exception of the consumer sentiment index, all of this data is available monthly.

A malicious hacker broke into a Twitter employee's Google Docs account and forwarded some 300 secret company documents to TechCrunch.
Unfortunately, that blog published the whole mess in a post that is so long it would take 25 pages to print out.
Who has time for that?
So here, in a more digestible format, are the 10 things we learned from Twitter's stolen docs saga:
Twitter is very worried about Facebook. So worried that top execs held a meeting on the subject "How could Facebook kill us?" What they came up with: Facebook could build real-time search, public status messages, and make SMS status updates more available. The bad news for Twitter is Facebook has already announced it plans to do all those things. ( See the doc)
Google wants to do a Twitter search deal very badly. Google SVP of product Marissa Mayer met with top Twitter execs so much that in notes from one meeting, they called her constant requests to hear how Twitter was growing a "huge distraction." In a later meeting, Twitter execs discussed a potential search deal with Google at great length. The gist seems to be that Google would introduce a new "micro-blogs" search product on Google.com that would feature 90% Twitter content. "This is the biggest change to Google search in years," read the notes. ( See the docs)
Twitter does not want to be acquired. Meeting notes titled "What do we want to be when we grow up?" start with a the question: "Is our goal not to be acquired?" And while the notes do hit on a reminder that "there is obviously a price," it feels like the execs want to answer "no." The notes say that a proposed merger with Facebook "never felt right," and that "the only type of acquisitions we are interested in are ones where we stay in charge." The one factor that could change their minds? "We don't know if we can match our ambition on our own." ( See the docs)
Twitter planned an IPO or sale of the company next year. According to notes from a meeting in which execs discuss bankers the startup could work with, Twitter execs plan to "engage" with one "for a year and a half" and "then use them for the transaction." One banker described in the meeting, Paul Chamberlin, is described as the guy who "took Google public, DoubleClick to Google." ( See the docs).
Twitter doesn't know how it's going to make money. That's not to say Twitter doesn't have lots of revenue-making product ideas -- one document lists verified accounts, search ads, sponsored tweets, AdSense widgets, and "payments," -- but in fact, having so many ideas only goes to show Twitter doesn't know which one product to focus its resources around and finally make money. ( See the docs)
Microsoft is an unlikely Twitter-buyer and partner. Twitter doesn't think it could take the PR hit. Twitter balked at even doing an ad deal with Microsoft. In a meeting about a potential "sponsored tweets" deal with Microsoft, CEO Ev Williams worried about how Microsoft's brand would effect Twitter's. The note reads, "Ev: I don't like what this does to our brand, and this cannot be measured." Another asks, "Why did we start talking to Microsoft in the first place?" Notes from another meeting, however, suggest Twitter is working on a "secret xBox" product. ( See the docs)
Twitter execs prefer Tweetie on the iPhone and prefer Photobucket's TwitGoo over TwitPic. There are some 11,000 registered Twitter applications in production or development. The leaked docs make clear that Twitter execs have to spend a lot of time talking about them. For the record, Twitter likes Tweetie and prefers Photobucket's TwitGoo over TwitPic, which it considered acquiring at one point. ( See the docs)
Twitter is not content to become a small, profitable company. Some entrepreneurs prefer to bootstrap their startups and drive for profitability early -- even if it means sacrificing some long term growth. Not the Twitter guys. One internal projection has them employing ~5,000 people, reaching 1 billion users, and clocking sales upward of $1.5 billion by 2013. These guys want to be huge. Will it burn them? ( See the docs).
Twitter is shopping for other startups. Twitter execs believe the quickest and easiest way for the company to make money is through "verified accounts." But rather than build that business, Twitter execs considered buying CoTweet, a startup that helps the companies that would be verified account holders join Twitter. Twitter followed this same "buy it" rather than "build it" strategy when it acquired Twitter search engine Summize in 2008. ( See the docs)
Twitter execs fear the startup is understaffed. Twitter execs have big goals for the company, but the meeting notes make clear they don't feel like the startup has the right people in place to "match our ambitions."
Specifically, almost every time Twitter search comes up -- as a product or a revenue generator -- a note shortly follows suggesting that Twitter doesn't have the engineering staff yet to make it work.
One note makes the worries clear: "User growth is explosive and we are having trouble growing to match the potential of the usage."
The docs say Twitter is trying to hire 50 people a month. But good people will be hard to find -- especially since Twitter is trying to go from being a company that does something ingenious, but relatively technologically simple (microblogging), to a company with engineers who can build sophisticated search and ad-targeting algorithms.
This challenge is probably the biggest reason Twitter, despite its founders' reservations, will eventually get acquired -- and probably by Google ( See the docs)
Bonus take-aways:
- Twitter expects to have 25 million weekly active users, or people who who have " a conscious Twitter experience in a given week" by the end of 2009.
- Yahoo, which we think would do well to acquire Twitter, isn't mentioned in the documents at all.
The documents:
- TWITTER DOCS: Microsoft is the wrong partner for Twitter
- TWITTER DOCS: Deal Talks With Google
- TWITTER DOCS: "How Could Facebook Kill Us?"
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter does not want to be acquired
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter planned an IPO or sale of the company next year
- TWITTER DOCS: Revenue Plans
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter likes Tweetie, TwitGoo
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter wants to be huge
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter is shopping for startups
- TWITTER DOCS: Twitter is understaffed

Instead of throwing a shrimp on the grill or barbecue, how about slices of delectable, perfectly marbled and always tender beefy parts like rib eye, porterhouse, tenderloin, New York strip, flatiron, bavette, skirt or hanger steaks? If you relish the idea of sinking your teeth into these bizarre bits, then you can browse through Healthy Red Meat Recipes to get the recipe ideas. If you aren't much of a beef steak connoisseur, you can opt for tender and flavorful porks, sweet, mild, naturally tender and never gamy lambs or distinctive flavor poultry.

As an environmental and health-conscious consumer, I reckon it's essential to buy organic meat. You can contribute to the well-being of your community by supporting local, sustainable and organic farms that raise livestock traditionally in an ethical manner and caretake the environment. Farms that support healthy and ecological neighborhoods ensure the animals have the space, not confined and spend time outdoors in the fresh air and sunlight needed to live natural lives. Animals raised organically are not allowed to be fed antibiotics, added hormones, other artificial drugs or any genetically modified foods, hence they're always significantly healthier than their industrially-raised counterparts. Animal products certified as organic can not have their genes modified and their diet tends to be more well-rounded. Hence, these "free-range" and "ranch raised" livestock that are raised in a more humane way produce more purer, flavorful and healthier cuts of meat. Moreover, contrary to the synthetic pesticides and fertilizers used on industrial farms which tend to contaminate groundwater and soil, these free range animals graze as they are inclined and not fed with food containing pesticides, hence the amount of persistent pesticides in their fat is reduced. Eating organic animal fat reduces your exposure to these chemical residues and lead you to a more healthier life.
Organic meat topic aside, I will share steak and cheese pie recipe in this blog entry to help you indulging your guests without having to compromise on taste. Here we go, Christmas party on tap!
Steak and Cheese Pie
Ingredients :
3 red onions, sliced
3 tbsp oilve oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 sprig of rosemary
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter + more for greasing pie plate
2 sticks celery, finely sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
200g brown mushrooms, quartered
1kg beef brisket, cubed
2 cups dark beer or stout
1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
1 cup beef stock
200g shredded cheddar cheese
500g frozen puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
For the filling :
1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
2. In a deep, heavy ovenproof pot, saute onions over low heat with olive oil, salt and pepper until slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in rosemary and garlic. Add 1 tbsp butter, celery, carrots and mushrooms. Add beef brisket.
4. Pour in beer or stout and stir.
5. In a small bowl, mix flour with 2 tbsp of beef stock to form a paste. Add to the pan and stir in to blend.
6. Pour just enough beef stock into the pan so that the liquid barely covers the beef and vegetables.
7. Put in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Take the stew out and give it a stir, and then cook for another hour. Stir in cheese and set aside to cool.
8. To make the pastry, pre-heat oven to 190°C. Thaw frozen puff pastry and then roll out to 5mm thin.
9. Grease a pie dish with some butter and line its bottom with the puff pastry. Bake blind for 20 minutes.
10. Roll out the rest of the pastry and cut in a circle to fit the top of your pie dish. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
11. When 20 minutes is up, remove pie dish in the oven, fill with cooled stew filling and carefully place the circle of pastry over the top, pressing down on the diameter of the pie to seal it.
12. Brush egg over the pastry and make a small slit in the centre of the pastry. Bake for 25 minutes.
Tips :
To bake blind, line pastry in the bottom of the pie dish, then cover with a piece of foil or baking parchment. Fill with pie weights, uncooked rice or beans and bake. This will help to weigh the pastry down so that it doesn't rise.

Ten become four - UBS streamlines its range of real estate funds
UBS is gradually streamlining its range of real estate funds, and will rename them to take account of this. This will allow UBS to position its products and their defined investment strategies more clearly in the market. The existing ten real estate funds will be progressively merged into four products.
UBS has managed ten real estate funds which invest in the Swiss real estate market for the past three years. Several of these funds were formerly managed by other fund management companies before coming under the management of one of the current UBS's precursor companies when the Investment Fund Act took effect.
The cost of converting the real estate fund range will be covered by the fund management, i.e. there will be no charge to the funds themselves or to investors. During the transition period, investors can continue to invest in the existing products without difficulty and can also continue to profit from the superior yields of UBS real estate funds compared with fixed-income investments.
UBS intends to position itself on the Swiss market with the following real estate funds:
UBS Foncipars Série ancienne: This fund invests exclusively in real estate in French-speaking Switzerland, primarily in residential properties. It is the successor to the two former real estate funds for French-speaking Switzerland: UBS Foncipars Série ancienne (target vessel) and UBS Foncipars Série II, which were merged on 18 February 2002.
UBS Anfos 1: This fund's investments are primarily in residential properties in the main urban areas of German-speaking Switzerland. The new product will be created by merging UBS Swissfonds 1 and 2, UBS Anfos 1 (target vessel) and 2 and UBS Swissimmobil 1961.
UBS Swissreal: This fund primarily invests in commercial properties throughout Switzerland. The new product will be created from the existing UBS Swissreal with the addition of various commercial properties from other UBS real estate funds.
UBS Sima: This fund invests throughout Switzerland. The share of residential properties is 70%. The properties owned by UBS Swissimmobil Neue Serie will be integrated into this portfolio.
To ensure that the different products can be merged as seamlessly as possible, we intend to carry out splits in those funds designated as target vessels this summer. Thus, for example, investors who currently own one unit certificate with a value of CHF 200 will receive four new unit certificates with a value of CHF 50 each.
Furthermore, the financial years of all the funds will in future close on the same date. The names of the funds mentioned above are to be updated by the end of 2002 at the latest.
The new real estate fund range offers investors the following benefits:
Clearly positioned products. Investors can determine their investment priorities or select the defined mixture of UBS Sima.
Improved liquidity on the stock market. The mergers will substantially increase fund volumes. This will have a very positive impact on the tradability of the new funds.
New investment alternatives which were previously not possible. The planned fund mergers will enable all UBS real estate funds to make investments in larger properties.

Story highlights
- Xinhua shows Vice President Xi Jinping appearing at a Beijing university
- Media has not reported him being out in public since September 1
- Xi is seen as a contender to become China's next leader
- His public absence has fueled speculation
Two weeks since his last public appearance, presumptive Chinese leader Xi Jinping was pictured attending an event Saturday in Beijing, state media reported.
The state-run Xinhua news agency, on both its English- and Chinese-language websites, published a one-line story stating that Xi had arrived Saturday morning at China Agricultural University for activities tied to the nation's annual National Science Popularization Day.
An accompanying photo showed him wearing a coat and surrounded by other men as he strolled on the grounds of the Beijing university.
The 59-year-old vice president had not been seen in public since September 1, when he was reported to have given a speech to the Central Party School in Beijing. Images published by major news websites after the date showed Xi smartly dressed in a dark suit and purple tie.
Since then, the cancellation of a number of meetings with high-profile foreign dignitaries has created a storm of speculation as rumor and hearsay fill the void of official information.
For a number of days, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei has declined to answer queries on Xi at the ministry's daily press briefings.
When Xi's meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was abruptly canceled September 5, American officials said their Chinese counterparts had blamed a "scheduling conflict."
No official reasons were given following the cancellation of other appointments, including a meeting with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
The lack of comment has fueled unsubstantiated rumors, including wild plot lines ranging from a car crash, to an assassination attempt. Others say Xi has been sidelined by a suspected heart attack or stroke, neither of which have been denied or confirmed.
Xi has been mentioned as a possible successor to Chinese President Hu Jintao.
In a matter of weeks, more than 2,000 delegates are expected to meet in Beijing for the Communist Party's 18th National Congress.
During their event, China's political elite are expected to announce the results of months of political maneuvering, and the names of the five to seven new entrants to Politburo Standing Committee.

Citing affair, Petraeus resigns at CIA
David Petraeus resigned his post as director of the Central Intelligence Agency on Friday, citing an extramarital affair.
Petraeus visited the White House on Thursday to ask President Barack Obama to accept his resignation "for personal reasons," he said in a statement to CIA staff. "After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Gen. David Petraeus)
The FBI is investigating Paula Broadwell, author of the biography "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," for improperly attempting to access his email, law enforcement officials tell NBC News.
An intelligence source confirms to POLITICO that the FBI had been investigating Petraeus after accidentally learning of the affair. He was pushed to exit before it all came out in detail.
"Director Petraeus was encouraged to get ahead of it and take control of the situation because it would eventually come out," the source said.
A White House official told POLITICO that the White House was informed of the issue Wednesday, and Obama was told Thursday.
"The president met with General Petraeus yesterday. In that meeting, Petraeus offered his resignation and explained the circumstances behind it," the official said. "The president accepted [Petraeus's] resignation in a phone call this afternoon."
( Also on POLITICO: 10 fast facts about Gen. Petraeus)
The resignation comes as the intelligence community remains under pressure over the attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others. Petraeus was slated to testify next Thursday at a closed Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Benghazi.
In a statement, Obama said he accepted Petraeus's resignation and expressed confidence in Michael Morell, the agency's deputy director, to take over as acting director. Morell will testify in Petraeus's place next week.
( See also: Gen. Petaeus's full resignation letter)
Petraeus "provided extraordinary service to the United States for decades," Obama said. "By any measure, he was one of the outstanding General officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges, and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end. As Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he has continued to serve with characteristic intellectual rigor, dedication, and patriotism.
"By any measure, through his lifetime of service David Petraeus has made our country safer and stronger," Obama said.
"Going forward, my thoughts and prayers are with Dave and Holly Petraeus, who has done so much to help military families through her own work. I wish them the very best at this difficult time," Obama said.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: My thoughts, prayers with Petraeus family)
"As I depart Langley, I want you to know that it has been the greatest of privileges to have served with you, the officers of our Nation's Silent Service, a work force that is truly exceptional in every regard," Petraeus said in his statement to CIA staff. "Indeed, you did extraordinary work on a host of critical missions during my time as director, and I am deeply grateful to you for that."

How to Build an Effective Team
Many leaders who are looking to increase overall productivity at their company are implementing collaborative team environments. This growing trend is backed up by a recent study that states collaborative work environments lead to an increase in overall profitability. However, teams are only effective if built correctly.

DEARBORN, Mich. - Florida pastor Terry Jones was outside Dearborn's City Hall for his planned 5 p.m. protest, drawing a crowd of hundreds.
"We're glad to be back," he told reporters. "We're going to talk about a number of issues. Of course Sharia, jihad, what happened last week and we're even going to be talking about president Obama's reelection."
RAW Video:
RAW Video:
Counter-protesters lined Michigan Avenue across the street from City Hall. About an hour into the protest, the crowds broke the barricades and a police line. They rushed the street but were quickly contained by riot police crews.
The crowd was throwing water bottles and shoes at supporters of Jones. Police worked to push the crowd back across Michigan Avenue.
At least one arrest was made.
Dearborn Mayor John O'Reilly Jr. said the city was poised to oversee a constructive event.
"We're hoping that we can have a successful event here, where he can speak and everybody behaves within the boundaries that are anticipated in the Constitution," he said. "Then, that disperses and everyone goes away safely and we move on."
After the protest and counter protest on Friday, O'Reilly said he was not surprised by the tensions in front of City Hall.
"When you challenge people's deepest held beliefs, there is going to be emotions that occur," O'Reilly said. "I always anticipated that there would be an emotional response. I think given the situation, given his failure to do one thing we asked him to do, we came out of this pretty good."
Jones said he was surprised by the reaction of the crowd on Michigan Avenue.
"I'm a little surprised, yeah," Jones said. "I know that people get very emotional, and I understand that. I have more Arab friends than American friends ... I was surprised that it got a little bit out of hand."
He said he did not expect the kind of violence that happened Friday.
"I was always taught that in America if I don't like what you say, then I have a right not to like it. But you also have a right to say it," Jones said.
Local Arab-American leaders were urging the community to ignore Jones.
"We have asked our community, straightforward, not to even come to Michigan Avenue between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.," said Osama Siblani, of the Arab American News.
Jones was arrested last Friday for failing to post a so-called "peace bond" after a jury in Dearborn determined their originally planned protest outside the Islamic Center of America would have breached the peace. He was denied a protest permit.
The Thomas More Law Center said it has already filed a "claim of appeal" on behalf of Jones and fellow pastor Wayne Sapp.
They later posted the bonds of $1 each and were released from jail.
Jones said his constitutional rights were trampled on by the city of Dearborn and the Wayne County prosecutor's office.
A burning of the Quran in March at Jones' church in Florida led to a series of violent protests in Afghanistan that killed more than a dozen people.
The Islamic center is one of the nation's largest mosques. Dearborn is also home to one of the nation's largest populations of Arabs and Muslims.

Do you remember Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama? Some years ago, Moore made headlines across this nation and was the talk of CNN. The chief justice having installed a Ten Commandments monument of Vermont granite in the judicial building, a furor sparked. The ACLU entered.
The Alabama attorney general hoping to be awarded a federal judgeship from the President Bush, changed position and led the prosecution and interrogation of Roy Moore. Like Moses, Elijah, David and Danile, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Peter and Paul, Chief Justice Roy Moore refused to deny God. Unwavering, Moore stood before the court publicly acknowledging God.
Although Americans came from across the nation by the thousands, the Ten Commandments were ordered out and closeted in some closet. At length 'The Ten Commandments Judge' himself was ousted from the office to which he had been duly elected by the people of Alabama.
The long battle appeared ended. Yet God is not mocked. And now there is, these 10 years later, this good news. In the last election the God-fearing Bible-believing people of Alabama voted Roy Moore back into his just office.
And it came to pass that on Friday, January 11, Moore was again sworn in as Alabama Chief Justice. Again people came from everywhere. The mezzanine of the judicial building in Montgomery was filled. Elsewhere it was standing room only. Veterans were given place of honor. Roy Moore himself is a graduate of West Point and a veteran of Vietnam.
What man today knows more of American history and America's heritage and righteous law? Thus it came to pass Jan. 11 became 'The Ten Commandments Judge Roy Moore Day,' a day of rejoicing and thanksgiving.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice in Alabama, in Pennsylvania, in the USA.

The Muppet Show Comic Book #1
On the Road - Part 1: "Watch That Tiger"
Ryan Dosier - Roger Langridge returns his pen to his always-incredible work on "The Muppet Show Comic Book" this month with its second new installment since becoming an ongoing series (meaning, basically, that the numbering of the book won't reset after four issues).
In the new series, "On the Road," the Muppets are taking their show on a cross-country tour after the theater was accidentally demolished at the conclusion of "The Treasure of Peg Leg Wilson" arc. (Sorry for the spoiler.) Once again, Langridge proves that he knows the Muppets as well as anyone.
The story opens just as Langridge's first Muppet Show comic did, with a report by the Muppet Newsman. It has little to do with the rest of the plot of the book, but it's hilarious.
We soon find Miss Piggy lamenting to Kermit about her fear of this "show on tour" being a back-step in her career. Kermit assures her that everything will be fine and above all, they'll have fun with it! No sooner does Kermit reassure Piggy then he goes to purchase new caravans for them to perform in. The retailer of these fine caravans tells Kermit not to open any of the wardrobes because a tiger may be lurking in them.
If that wasn't enough trouble, Fozzie tells Kermit that he's taking his act on the road too--but a different road than Kermit and company. The bear desires to stand on his own for once, which is an odd character turn for Fozzie, but it works.
The show soon gets off to a... well, a start. With a rollicking rendition of The Muppet Show theme song (with slightly altered lyrics), the show is officially off to its new road-show start.
But, of course, The Muppet Show wouldn't be The Muppet Show without chaos backstage. Rizzo is taking bets from everyone from Sam the Eagle to Swedish Chef as they wager a guess as to which caravan houses the tiger. Meanwhile, Kermit is incessantly hounded for a payment by the owner of the land where the Muppets are performing. If that wasn't enough, Statler and Waldorf's incredibly familiar cousins are attending the show.
Sketches include Veterinarian's Medical Compound, A Message From Sam the Eagle, Country Cooking with The Swedish Chef, "Whispering" performed by The Acoustic Mayhem with Sweetums and Robin, and a closing number by Miss Piggy.
Can the Muppets truly put on a road show with financial difficulties, dwindling spirits, and a missing comedian? Well... you're asking the wrong guy. I haven't read the next installment yet!
Roger Langridge has captured the tone of the Muppets as well as (if not better than) anyone who has written for them in at least a decade. Not only does his writing house Muppety wit and charm, but his artwork has never been better. The Muppets are near-perfect in Langridge's hands.
It's amazing to me that even though they're on the road, the Muppets have never seemed more Muppety. Langridge reminds us all that sometimes you have to change the formula up a little bit to keep it fresh, that's just what happens here. The road show format allows the Muppets to be wackier and zanier than ever--and Langridge captures it brilliantly.
All of the characters are written well in this issue, but some of the most outstanding characters include Sam the Eagle, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Rizzo, and Gonzo. Kudos, Roger! You've captured them perfectly.
This may be the best-drawn issue of the book yet. All of the Muppets look as good as they're written and it seems like Langridge has finally settled into his groove of drawing these characters. From facial expressions to full-body shots, Langridge has an exceptional way of harnessing the Muppet spirit on paper.
This issue is one of my favorite of The Muppet Show Comic Book so far. Everything just comes together perfectly to make a fantastic read. Chickens make pyramids, Sam Eagle preaches about the threats of gambling (while gambling himself), and a tiger mauls The Great Gonzo. This proves once again that Roger Langridge is the epitome of fantastic Muppet comic book work.
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo the Great, Scooter, Rowlf the Dog, Dr. Teeth, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Zoot, Animal, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker, Sweetums, Robin the Frog, Sam the Eagle, Rizzo the Rat, The Swedish Chef, The Newsman, Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Mister "Bags" O'Gravy, Lew Zealand, Statler and Waldorf's cousins, Thog, the Mutations, Gloat, Boppity, Mr. Weazell, Chickens, Rats, Monsters, a Sheep, and more!
