Editor's note: Isa Soares is a Quest Means Business producer. She is at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and in this analysis piece examines the year's theme: Resilient Dynamism.

(CNN) -- The moment you arrive in Davos, Switzerland, there's an immediate sense of endurance and fortitude. No, it's not coming from the delegates; they have yet to arrive. It's the locals. Here, they battle through adverse weather conditions. Nothing seems to stop them. Through little visibility, snow, ice and mud, no job is too small or too difficult.
It's this dynamism the world's financial and political elite are looking to attain. To inspire and push them along, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken "Resilient Dynamism" as the theme of this year's event. No one knows exactly what this means and in many ways, it can be interpreted any way you want.
Quest: U.S. economy to dominate Davos 2013
Meeting at the WEF, the 2,500 participants are looking to improve the state of the world through what Klaus Schwab, the organization's founder, calls "strategic agility and risk resilience." In other words, being well prepared for whatever risks come our way, and strong enough to sustain and recover from the shockwaves.
But in a fast moving world, how do you prepare for an unknown risk? After all, it's hard to plan, with the world looking so different from this time last year.

Europe, which led the global economic crisis and was the talk of Davos last year, has managed to survive. The collapse of the euro has been avoided and Greece, to many people's surprise, is still a part of the eurozone.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso declared that the euro crisis was over just a few weeks ago. Speaking in Lisbon, he said: "I think we can say that the existential threat against the euro has essentially been overcome. In 2013, the question won't be if the euro will, or will not, implode."
Barroso's optimism has been fuelled, in part, by the movements of the world's central banks. The European Central Bank gave Europe its biggest bounce when it offered to buy unlimited bonds (OMTs) of heavily indebted nations such as Italy and Spain. It was without a doubt, Mario Monti's "big bazooka" moment.
Around the world, central banks purchased financial assets to help lift the economy.
Interactive: Is your economic mood up or down?
The Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the U.S. Federal Reserve all purchased financial assets such as bonds with freshly printed money. In addition to this, they slashed interest rates to near zero or record lows. At such low interest rates, investors began to shift their money into stocks. This is evident right now -- Greece's stock exchange is up more than 37% on the year.
Despite the markets and Barroso's optimism, the global economy is expected to remain sluggish.
The World Bank cut its forecast for global growth last week, projecting an expansion in 2013 of only 2.4%, down from its forecast six months ago of 3%. It pointed out the near-depression level jobless rates in Europe as well as the U.S.
Europe may not be on the edge, but the crisis is far from over; unemployment is soaring, productivity is falling, anger is still raw and governments are still carrying a heavy debt load.
Davos 2013: Follow the action live on CNN.com
The U.S. meanwhile has serious problems of its own. There are real concerns that the world's largest economy may slash government spending, eventually slowing down the economy. In addition, there are worries over its ability to get over its political and budgetary mess.
This is the uncertain risky economic and political landscape facing us all. While I don't expect the great minds of the WEF to provide any clear answers or solutions, I do hope that when it comes to the next crises, they have the resilient dynamism to guide us smoothly through any economic minefields.

Its story first starts, however, in 1911, when Walter Martiny began the brand in Torino, Italy—fourteen years prior to the release of its iconic Superga 2750 sneaker, a silhouette now known as the label's signature. The style proved to have some serious lasting power in the decades that followed; not only have Superga shoes become a household staple in its country of origin, but an off-duty must for It Girls around the world.

When he wants to be, Jim Mora is as good an interview subject as any head football coach in the country: candid, witty, opinionated. There's a reason that his transition from the NFL to college was bridged by a stint in the broadcast studio.
Then there's the self-admitted "paranoid" side, the part that makes him loath to do anything that he doesn't deem necessary. Take the tentative depth chart he released Monday night, one that goes four or five players deep at certain positions.
"Here's how much credence I would put in the depth chart," Mora said Tuesday afternoon, squeezing his right thumb against his index finger. "None."
The Bruins' listed heights and weights, he pointed out, weren't even correct. He listed 13 offensive starters rather than 11, including a "big Y-receiver" position. He claimed the chart took him just 30 seconds to make — which he did only because the school's media relations department pestered him.
But to anyone with passing knowledge of the UCLA football team, the depth chart looked more or less accurate. From quarterback Brett Hundley to right tackle Torian White to outside linebacker Aaron Wallace, almost every starter had earned his spot either during or before fall camp.
Even the few surprises weren't just scattered names. Redshirt freshman Nate Iese, whose listed switch from Y-receiver to fullback prompted the depth-chart line of questioning, said coaches moved him there in order to utilize his athleticism and 6-foot-3 frame as soon as possible. Still learning routes after moving from defense in spring, he'll eventually be used both as a blocker and pass-catcher depending on the package.
"I think it's a good fit for me," Iese said. "I like contact. I'm helping a lot with blocking coming off the edge, helping the tackles block on pass plays. It's a lot of fun."
The running backs order also looked spot-on, even if the competition is still tight. Junior Jordon James leads the group, while sophomore Steve Manfro and redshirt freshman Paul Perkins will step in for a healthy share of reps. Running backs coach Steve Broussard said that James No. 1 spot may only mean that he takes 40 to 50 snaps per game; the next man down the list could take 30 to 40.
All this could change day by day based on performance.
"I don't think you guys ever heard me say 'running back by committee,'" Broussard said. "It's the guy who stands out and separates himself as being the guy. … It's gonna be the guy that's most consistent and takes advantage of those opportunities."
Senior Malcolm Jones got his good news last Wednesday during UCLA's senior appreciation dinner. When Mora introduced each player in front of donors at Wilson Plaza, he made it official: Jones was back on scholarship.
"He almost kind of blurted it out," said the running back, who left the team early last season before deciding to return as a walk-on. "It was a good feeling. … I was more relieved than anything. I know I've been working really hard to get back on scholarship."
Added Broussard: "He's wanting to work hard. Doesn't mind where he plays at. Understanding being selfless. That's the biggest thing, and he's been working his butt off."
Defensive lineman Eli Ankou was carted out of practice holding a pair of crutches. His left knee was heavily wrapped. Offensive lineman Colby Cyburt also left practice with a right foot injury.

About fiveorange
I wish Murdoch and his lame products would just disappear.
Yes! I don't understand it. If seeing a movie is THAT important go to the theater and see it!!! And there are plenty of sites where you can watch it for free! I love my Netflix subscription and could care less about when a new movie is available because if I really want to see it I will go to the movies and see it!! Warner Brothers is upset because Netflix and Redbox are making their money. If Warners would invest in better products maybe people would want to buy them.
Putting a delay on new releases will NOT increase sales. This is as stupid as taking music away from sites like Last.fm. Restrictions will NOT increase sales I repeat will NOT increase sales.

Rep. Dennis J.

A cold, wet spring and a blistering summer hot spell reduced California processing tomato production by almost 17 percent from the first estimate to the final tonnage.
This is expected to drop cannery inventory to the lowest level in a decade and set the stage for significantly more acreage in 2007 at higher contract prices.
Inventories were the tightest since 1998 at the start of the 2006 season when the initial USDA forecast called for a crop of 11.4 million tons. After the wet spring and roughly two weeks of temperatures of more than 110 degrees, the California Tomato Growers Association is projecting a final crop of only 9.5 million tons, according to CTGA president Ross Siragusa.
In a report to the 25th annual Agribusiness Management Conference, Siragusa said to rebuild inventory, processors will need to contract for 5 percent to 10 percent more acres than the 288,000 acres grown in '06.
Growers say they need to be paid $7 to $12 more per ton than the minimum average price of $58 per ton received in 2006 because they have been losing money at current prices. Based on a 35-ton yield, this increase should up the gross income by $245 to more than $400 per acre.
Current paste market prices of 38 to 41 cents per pound equate to in-field prices of $67.46 to $72.80, well within the range of what growers want to produce a crop in 2007, which will start going into the ground next February.
Based on the state average yield, a $65 per ton price will gross about $2,400 per acre. It costs about $2,200 per acre to produce tomatoes for processing.
California produces more than 90 percent of the processing tomatoes grown in the United States.
Siragusa said the '06 crop planting was delayed two to five weeks by a wet spring, and the heat set it back another two weeks. The heat also precluded pollination, creating a split set and a high percentage of hollow tomatoes.
More fruit was sunburned during the heat, allowing mold to start. Fruit ready for harvest was rendered too soft in many cases.
Yields were off 10 percent to 20 percent. The crop was heavily discounted for a lack of quality. Growers used more fungicides to fight mold, and heavy worm infestations increased pesticide bills. And harvest productivity was poorer, according to Siragusa.
Processors also suffered from reduced daily throughput creating higher per unit costs. Processors could not meet customer contracts due to volume and quality problems. Hollow tomatoes reduced truckloads as much as 30 percent, increasing overall hauling costs.
No one won in 2006.
Worldwide paste and peeled inventories are tight, leading Siragusa to predict no significant import pressure into the U.S. of foreign imports.
"As a consequence of three of the past four years resulting in poor economic returns, growers are willing to work together (with processors) to achieve higher prices," he added.

Assassin's Creed Basics
|Stealth & Combat
Though there are individual missions to accomplish for each memory block, the bulk of Assassin's Creed play is spent completing various optional objectives, mini-missions. There's a handful of varying mission types, and generally each instance of these mission types plays out exactly like the one before it. Once you know how to complete a mission type, you'll be able to apply that knowledge throughout the game as that same mission type shows up multiple times.
|Eavesdrop mini-missions are by far the easiest to complete. Simply get within range of the target (but not too close!) and take a seat on a bench between two people. Once you're seated, point the camera at the target and press the lock-on button. Follow by pressing the head button and the camera will zoom in on the target while he or she has a conversation. When the conversation ends, the optional objective is completed.
|Much like eavesdrop mini-missions, pickpocket objectives require you to find the target and lock on while nearby but without being too close. Stand around and wait for the target to complete a conversation and he'll begin walking on a predetermined path. Follow slowly behind the target and note the status of your social awareness logo. The target is often suspicious, which is not a good time to attempt the pickpocket. Instead, wait for the social awareness to cool down to complete unawareness. When you've achieved that, slowly walk up behind the target and press the pickpocket button to complete the mission.
|Locate the interrogation target first and, as required in other mini-missions, lock on from a distance. Generally, interrogation targets are first found spouting propaganda or carrying on private conversations. After the target is done talking, he'll begin walking away. Follow the target closely without alarming him and he'll eventually lead you to a secluded place. When you've cornered the target, you need to rough him up a bit. For this, we suggest catching the target by surprise with a grab and then following with punches while he recovers from being tossed. This will generally let you score the required number of hits to trigger the interrogation without having to take any punches from the target.
|Save Citizen
|You'll find citizens around the city that are being harrassed by the local gooney guards. Simply lock onto the guards and approach them to initiate a fight between you and three or four foes. You can sometimes get in a quick hit before the guards pull out their swords, but once you've got their attention you'll need to rely on your combat skills to get you through the fight. When you've defeated all of the nearby guards, press the lock-on button to talk with the citizen you've saved and to complete the mini-mission.
|View Point
|Completing view point objectives is generally as simple as climbing a tall building and then pressing the head button. There are, of course, only specific buildings that will operate as view point objectives. Once you've synchronized at the top of one of these tall buildings, other optional objectives will display on your map.

Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare heart defect.
In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve to pick up fresh oxygen. Next, the blood returns to the left atrium, goes into the left ventricle, and goes out to the rest of the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
With TAPVC, the pulmonary veins that return oxygenated blood from the lungs connect to the right side of the heart, instead of the left atrium. This leads to the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. The body tissue does not receive as much oxygen as it is supposed to. TAPVC can be mild to severe. There can be a range of connection problems. Other heart problems may be present, as well.
TAPVC is a congenital defect. This means that the heart forms incorrectly when the baby is in the womb. It is not known exactly why the heart develops this way in some babies.
More research is needed to confirm causes and risk factors for TAPVC. Risk factors thought to be related to this condition include:
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An irregular heart rate may be detected during the exam.
Your child's bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Images may be taken of your child's bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your child's heart function may be tested. This can be done with:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Surgery is needed to correct the defect. It can range from a simple repair to a complex repair. If blood flow is obstructed, emergency surgery will need to be done. The goal of surgery is to reconnect the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
Your child will have regular exams from a heart specialist. Your child may also need antibiotics prior to medical or dental procedures. This is to prevent an infection in the heart.
Preventing fetal heart defects may not always be possible, but you can reduce your risk by:

I didn't agree with firing the coach, because I thought he was getting better each year. He just had a lot of changes with the roster at the end of the year, that I think he forgot what rosters work best against what teams.
My main issue with Brown was he concentrated, so much on defense that they never had a offense. Every championship team has an offensive set that you know you have to stop, whether it's screen and roll, pick and pop, triangle, low post, etc. Cleveland didn't have one. They were primarily our defense is our offense, and kill you in the primary or secondary break. Otherwise give the ball to Lebron.
I dont think it was that Lebron got hurt that ended his season. It was the fact that he was literally playing with a mothereffer.
I think that had a role too, but his injury had a lot more to do with it than anything.metalface wrote:But I also think you are giving Brown too much credit. He was mostly there because they wouldnt let Lebron bring back the player/coach.
Because I said he was getting better every year, I'm giving him too much credit? Please explain.metalface wrote:If Lebron does sign back with them, they will NEED to drastically show him that they are willing to do ANYTHING to win a title.
I think they've showed that they are committeed. Whether I agree with all the decisions they've made, probably not but they have shown that they are willing to make moves. Whether it was getting Mo, Shaq, Jamison, Moon (who I think should've played more), and Parker.
Basically, The Cavs were not winning because they had Brown on the bench. Brown had been there wayy longer than any coach should be allowed to stay taking how little they won into consideration. If Brown really was a great coach that was worth keeping then they would have won at least A championship, or they should have made the finals more than one time.

Though he has been telling investors to buy bank stocks with all their might, analyst Dick Bove says this summer could require a strong stomach for those who followed the advice.
In his most recent missive on the state of financial shares, the widely followed vice president of equity research at Rochdale Securities cautioned of a "long, hot summer" in which "the fundamentals of the banks would be quite good but the market will not be."
The advice runs somewhat counter to his admonitions that investors ignore the bad publicity surrounding banks and instead buy the companies "hand over fist."
"The European debt problems have arisen once again. The seasonal activity of the Federal Reserve is likely to cause the normal seasonal decline in stock prices," he said in a message to clients. "Thus, investors are likely to note continuous increases in bank earnings through the summer but no positive movement in bank stocks."
Banks had led the stock marketrally off the October lows but have been in a bog recently. Financials on the Standard & Poor's 500 have fallen more than 5 percent over the past month, despite a solid collective performance during earnings season.
Worries about the sovereign debt crisishave dogged the banks' performance as have soft U.S. economic data and sentiment that the market is being set up for a sell-in-May event.
But Bove insists that while the industry may take its lumps over the summer, the damage will be temporary. He continues to assert that U.S. institutions are shielded well from problems with European banks that he maintains actually will help their American counterparts.
As such, he advises investors hold on to their bank stocks.
"While I continue to believe that it will be difficult to make money in bank stocks this summer, I think these stocks will outperform the markets in the fall," he said. "Therefore, my recommendation is to hold on to the stocks, buy them in small amounts this summer, but do not expect to make a great deal of money."

Few turn out for annual reddit.com event
It was a day that was meant to unite virtual friends in the actual world. But in Buffalo, it could have used a few more upvotes.
Saturday was the fourth annual Global reddit Meetup Day, an opportunity for users of reddit – the addictive social news website with thousands of "subreddit" forums for every imaginable topic – to step away from their computers and meet face-to-face. For every year's Meetup Day, local redditors – as the site's devoted users call themselves – organize hometown festivities through their city's subreddit. Last year, there were nearly 400 local meetups, everywhere from New York City to Stockholm to Melbourne to Buffalo's Delaware Park. In some larger cities, reddit meetups evolve into impromptu festivals, with dozens of redditors coming together for cookouts, potlucks and sports.
Last month, users on the Buffalo subreddit decided to hold this year's meetup at 11 a.m. in River Fest Park, which was deemed a central location for local redditors. The page for the event told potential visitors: "This is pretty much a bring your own everything event. So, if you have a portable grill, and folding chairs and stuff, please be kind and bring them."
But for all the discussions that went into the event, that communal energy was sparsely translated in the event itself, which coincided with the second day of the park's Buffalo River Fest. For the event's first hour, two redditors hung out in the designated meeting place, a triangular parking lot near River Fest Park. They were Randy Zingo, 23, who graduated from the University at Buffalo last year with a mechanical engineering degree, and Todd Feldmann, 34, a construction worker who said he skipped a "World of Warcraft" game for this event. The two knew each other's reddit names – Zingo is 21n6y , Feldmann is sevenoneSICKs – and said that they had previously scheduled small meetups with other Buffalo redditors for drinks. As for this meetup, they didn't have any major plans.
"There's a bunch of people from reddit. There's a reddit meetup today. End of story," said Zingo, who brought a bag of chips and a Sam Adams six-pack.
After they finally decided to walk by the water, River Fest Park filled up a mostly middle-aged crowd, perusing food and craft tents for River Fest and seemingly oblivious to the other event scheduled for the day. One food vendor, when asked about the reddit event, cupped his ear and asked, "The read what event?"
Zingo and Feldmann were eventually joined by Alex Feim, a Binghamton University junior who said she is a "lurker" on the Buffalo subreddit but an infrequent poster. Carrying an empty bag with the Vans logo on it, Feim wasn't sure what to expect.
"I just kind of figured I'd show up and see what's going on, because I don't have anything going on today," she said.
As the three sat on the rocks, watching the water and munching chips, two other redditors stopped by: Jason Mendola (aka jconsumer), a 40-year-old South Buffalo resident who excitedly shared local history anecdotes before leaving, and a 27-year-old Amherst native in a Mario T-shirt who did not give his name, reasoning that he wanted to maintain his online anonymity. He brought homemade bacon jerky and Nutella cookies for the occasion.
Three hours into the meetup, there were no portable grills, no folding chairs and no more than four redditors present. Feldmann blamed the "stigma of the Internet" for the limited turnout. "People just don't want to meet other people from the Internet," he said. "They feign interest, but then they don't show up."
Still, on a Saturday afternoon, four local redditors who are otherwise strangers sat on the grass of River Fest Park, sharing bacon jerky, Nutella cookies and easy conversation. They told personal stories, discussed recent reddit posts and debated everything from gluten-free food to "Doctor Who" to Lloyd Taco Truck. In its amiable exchange of eclectic ideas, the afternoon felt like a subreddit brought to life.
"We just wanted to hang out, get to know each other, get outside," Feldmann said. "I must admit, that's a rarity with the Internet these days."

Today, March 20th is the International Day of Happiness. I know you must be busy and anxious for your assignments and tests right now. As a student who is transferring this semester, I feel so nervous when waiting for decision(s) from schools right now as well. However, the good news is, ONLY 8 DAYS UNTIL SPRING BREAK!!!!!! So cheer up and be happy!
There are three things I usually do to make me happy when I'm at College of San Mateo. I hope they will help you somehow.
1. Go to the piano practice room and try to finish Chopin Minute Waltz in one minute (always fail).
2. 30 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) at the gym (aerobics really work!).
3. Argue with the crows that are walking by or are standing on the campus street lamps (I am not serious, and they always lose).
Wish you a happy day!

From Pristina to Tskhinvali
Tim Judah is a British journalist who has long covered the Balkans for the Economist amongst others. We have featured his work before, for example, his first book on Kosovo is one of our pictures stories and can be found here. In autumn of 2008 Oxford University Press published his new book on Kosovo. It is called Kosovo: What Everyone Needs to Know. It is not a book aimed at scholars or people with a deep knowledge of Kosovo and indeed Judah had a specific target audience in his head when he wrote it. "I imagined that if I was a policeman or judge from Palermo or Goteborg and suddenly found I was off to join EULEX, the EU's peace and justice mission in Kosovo, then what could I read that was bang up to date and gave me all the complicated basics in a clear and unpretentious way?" Chapters are thematic: "Albanians", "Serbs", "The War" etc., We have chosen an extract from the book which is not specifically about Kosovo though, but links the one end of ESI's world to the other. In the chapter called "Kosovo and the World" Judah discusses the links, or not, between Kosovo and Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the breakaway regions of Georgia. The book was written just before the August 2008 conflict and came out just afterwards. Until then, Russia was against recognising their independence. Afterwards it changed its policy.
It is often argued that Kosovo is a unique case, or sui generis, to use the jargon favoured by lawyers. This argument is just as commonly rejected. "If people in Kosovo can be granted full independence," asked Vladimir Putin, then Russia's president, "why then should we deny it to Abkhazia and South Ossetia?" On the face of it, he might have a good case, but then once you look at the places in question you see quite how different they are. Take Abkhazia, on the Black Sea. Before its conflict, which took place in the early 1990s, only 17.8 percent of its population was Abkhaz. Today, of some 200,000 people, they still only constitute 45 percent of its people, and more than 200,000 Georgian refugees from Abkhazia want to return home. The Abkhaz, who are in firm control of the government and of all levers of power, argue that to allow more to come back than they have already permitted would simply be to turn back the clock and to make them once more just a small minority in their own homeland. Ironically, while Russia supports Abkhazia, if not its full independence, and it has opposed Kosovo's independence, that does not mean that the Abkhaz are against it. "Just because Russia does not want Kosovo to be recognised," says Maxim Gunja, the deputy foreign minister of Abkhazia, "it does not mean that we do not want it."
The same is true of South Ossetia. "Those rules which work for Kosovo will work for South Ossetia," says Alan Pliev, its deputy foreign minister, in Tskhinvali, the muddy, village-like capital of South Ossetia whose main thoroughfare is called "Stalin Street". But South Ossetia has a tiny population anywhere between 22,000 as the Georgians claim, and 70,000, according to the South Ossetians. It is hardly a candidate to be a viable state, especially as large swaths of it are held by the Georgians, but perhaps that is not the aim. South Ossetia is connected to Russia by a tunnel through the mountains. On the other side lies the autonomous republic of North Ossetia. "Our aim is unification with North Ossetia," says Alan Pliev. "We don't know if that would be as part of Russia or as a separate united Ossetian state." Juri Dzittsojty, deputy speaker of parliament, says: "I would prefer there to be an independent and united Ossetia, but today it is not possible. It is safer to be with Russia. The main aim of the struggle is to be independent of Georgia."
In the wake of the 2008 conflict, Georgia no longer controls any of South Ossetia. After it had been recognised by Russia as independent Abkhazia offered mutual recognition to Kosovo which its leaders rejected.

Planet Hulk (US - BD RA)
Gabe watches an animated big green guy re-enact Ridley Scott's Gladiator...
Following unseen events, the Hulk awakens, and finds himself secured in a spaceship. His awakening triggers a pre-recorded video, featuring the Marvel Illuminati, fronted by Iron Man, who apologizes to Hulk, and informs him he's on his way to a planet where he can't hurt anyone. Unfortunately, Hulk's rage damages the ship, and throws it off course through a wormhole. The ship crashes on the surface of the planet Sakaar, and a weakened Hulk is taken captive by Imperial forces as a gladiatorial slave.
The good news is that Planet Hulk is definitely one of Lionsgate's Marvel animated best. The bad news is it's still rather lifeless, and occasionally painfully simplified. I'm just barely familiar with the series of comics this film was based upon thanks to a quick glance and Cliff's Notes explanation from a friend, but my knowledge is enough to tell me that as an adaptation Planet Hulk mostly works. The problem is that the source material requires a full telling to not appear entirely derivative. The base idea, that of Earth's hero's tossing Hulk into space, is pretty cool, but one gets the sense that the rest of the story was written over the weekend as a Monday deadline approached. I'm not sure where exactly the gladiator that defies an emperor story begins (likely in genuine ancient Rome), but Planet Hulk clearly uses Ridley Scott's Gladiator as a base. Most unfortunately this basic story arch (and I use the term pretty loosely, as given less than Gladiator's two and a half hour runtime such a story consists mostly of fighting) was already used effectively in Justice League and Samurai Jack. Justice League told the story with more character embellishment, and Samurai Jack features a much more visually stunning translation of the tropes. I know that the book version of this particular story explores the Hulk as Conan the Barbarian in more depth and respect, but this short version
Concerning the adaptation working is the fact that the writers weren't allowed to use the Silver Surfer, and replaced him with B-stringer Beta Ray Bill. This is kind of ingenious, I have to admit, even as someone barely aware of the character, as it ties into the other Marvel animated movies, specifically Hulk Vs. Thor. However, the Hulk character's arc, if that's what you want to call his screaming anger to more discernable anger change, really makes no sense in the context of this animated universe, if it is indeed supposed to be a canon universe. Hulk's physical vulnerability, language ability, and lack of turning back into Bruce Banner is never really explained (his ability to understand the alien language is explained, but his ability to calmly express himself in words is not). I suppose this might be beside the point, that there is no movie to movie continuity, and I'm just meant to 'go with it', but Hulk really feels like an entirely different character. Not to mention the fact that the Bruce Banner stuff I rolled over in the comic version was pretty intriguing.
The animation sticks somewhere between the early Marvel animated films ( Iron Man, Doctor Strange) and the newer ones ( Hulk Vs.), using the preferable hard line shadow hues to the softer ones, but the less stylized character designs. I find the look a little dull, but it's certainly colourful, and for the most part the animators get a lot out of a less than Disney sized budget. The action scenes are very well orchestrated, but the talking scenes are stiff, and feature some decreased frame rates. Planet Hulk is, I believe, the first 'unrated' film in the series, and I do think the producers have pressed the violence slightly beyond their previous PG-13 rating. They certainly push the boundaries with disturbing imagery during the two 'Spike' invasion scenes, which feature hordes of gooey, mutating zombies, who are dispatched with despite their relative innocence outside of their mutation. The thematic dark streak surely makes this one of the more adult releases from the studio.
Planet Hulk looks a whole lot like the other Marvel animated Blu-ray releases, and television animation in high definition overall. This 1080p, 1.78:1 transfer is probably the most colourful we've seen out of the studio yet, with the possible exception of Hulk Vs. Thor, which was a little brighter overall. The backgrounds are the most impressive elements, especially the cosmos and general space shots, which revel in pulpy lavenders and blues, speckled with harsh white stars and deep black edges. The characters are full, sharp and bright, though a little flat in 1080p, especially when set against the deep focus backgrounds. The high definition look doesn't sever the mixed media aspects very well either, as the digital embellishments look a little strange when they're presented this crisply against the clean, two shade and an outline look of the animation. The flashback scene that takes place on Asgard is especially awkward. The digital wind, cloud and grass effects look very computer animated. There's also an issue with blending throughout, where different shades are blocked. I've seen this on most HD cell animation, so I suppose this is some kind of creative choice. Composer Guy Michelmore manages one of his better animated scores here, which goes a long way in creating the film's epic atmosphere, though the keyboarded symphonic elements are a little cheesy.
Sticking the Hulk in a gladiator ring with giant robot monsters is certainly a good way to earn a DTS-HD Master Audio mix, though Planet Hulk isn't quite as well endowed as theatrical release animation, or it's live-action counterparts. The channels are consistently busy with humming spaceships, rushing winds, cheering crowds, and massive explosion fallout. The LFE rumbles with everything Hulk, from his footsteps, his smashing, and his bassy voice. Actually, most of the character voices are pretty bassy, and even the girly ones are directionally appropriate. Directional movement is usually diverted to the hand to hand combat scenes, which feature whooshing fisticuffs, jumps, and shockwave punches. The back and stereo channel noise is usually set up as a textured environment, however, and sounds the best during the second Spike attack.
The disc begins with two audio commentary tracks. The first features supervising producer Joshua Fine and screenwriter Greg Johnson. Fine and Johnson mostly focus on storytelling and adaptation, and give a good rundown of their process. The second track features director Sam Liu, character designer Philip Bourassa and background painter Steve Nicodemus. This track obviously focuses more on the look and design of the film, but also covers some of the adaptation and character aspects too. The second track features more blank space, so those aiming for only one sit through will probably want to stick to the first track, which also points out some of the Marvel character cameos.
'A Whole World of Hurt: The Making of Planet Hulk' (21:40, HD) follows the precedent set by all the previous Lionsgate Marvel animation releases, and gives a basic overview of the filmmaking process. The production crew interviews oversell the whole thing a little too much, but things are interesting where adaptation is concerned, and the pre-production art is gorgeous. There's a long look at the creation of the credit sequence, as well as an interesting look at the use of Beta Ray Bill, and the casting process. 'Let the Smashing Commence: The Saga of Planet Hulk' (11:30, HD) looks at the production of the 'Planet Hulk' story arch in the Hulk comic series, and lets those of us out of the know in on the places the story went from there. Also included here is an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men (21:50, SD), where Wolverine and the Hulk face-off. It's very similar to Hulk Vs. Wolverine, but has enough differences to make it interesting.
The rest of the extras have a lot less to do with the Hulk. These start with a preview and opening sequence of the team's next film – Thor: Tales of Asgard (6:15, HD). The new film looks a lot like Thor meets The Lord of the Rings, and generally recalls a more '80s brand of animated adventure. Next up are two Marvel 'Motion Comics' – Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. (10:20, SD) and Astonishing X-Men: Gifted (14:10, SD). The artistic choices are pretty cool, and though no one is going to mistake these for traditional cartoons, the motion is effective, and the audio features some solid music and stereo effects. Unfortunately Spider-Woman (written by the king of the hit and miss, Brian Michael Bendis) likely reads better than it sounds, and the attempts at animating Astonishing X-Men (written by Joss Whedon) are pretty silly. Both shorts are also available on Hulu.com. They're coupled with two music videos culled from the footage ('Watch Your Step' and 'Rise Up'). Everything is wrapped up with trailers.
The Lionsgate/Marvel people continue their slow crawl to better filmmaking with Planet Hulk, which is one of their better showings. The derivative elements of the original comic miniseries are unfortunately brought front and center, and the character arcs over-simplified, but the action animation is solid, and the art direction is fully realized. The short Hulk Vs. Wolverine is still the crew's most consistent work. This release really earns its Blu-ray upgrade through sheer quantity of colours and textures, and big epic sound effects. The extras, unfortunately, sound more exciting than they actually are, but aren't a waste of time either.

I enjoyed this one, but very true it was overly simplified quite a bit. Besides removing The Brood character--which may have been a rights issue anyhow--the entire second act of the comic's story was removed so that Hulk pretty mcuh goes from slave/gladiator right to battling the Red King in the climax. Still, it's not a bad adaptation and it's a shame that we probably won't get an animated World War Hulk sequel because of the rights to Marvel characters being all over the place. Among Marvel's animated features I'd rank this one behind only The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow as the one I've enjoyed the most.
Oh, and I liked The Beta Ray Bill/Silver Surfer switch too--it was well thought out and a surprise to boot. Bill has always been a favorite of mine among the lesser known Marvel heroes and it was nice to see him get some of the spotlight for once. Between this and Marvel's recent 'Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter' series it's been a good year for Bill fans. Now if they could just find a way to fully bring ROM back I'd be ecstatic.

Hulk Vs Wolverine was such a little blast of fun, but Next Avengers was a much better solid film, you're right. They still aren't touching the quality of the old DC Universe series, but they're holding their own against those disappointing films. Fingers crossed for Crisis on Two Earths, because that Thor movie doesn't look very interesting at all.

Actually watched Crisis On Two Earths recently and even though I'm not a DC fan it was entertaining, definitely better than most of the other DC animated features. James Woods voicing Batman's evil doppelganger Owlman and the character in particular were the best part about it.

RPMH board discusses budget, tax rate for year
During last Thursday's meeting of the Nolan County Hospital District's board of directors, discussion and action was taken regarding the budget and tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year.The 2014 operating budget, as well as the proposed tax rate for the new year, were both reviewed and approved by the board.For the budget, a package presented to board members included a line-by-line breakdown by department. The proposed tax rate for the new year is at .25237--an increase from last year's rate of .22176, but the same rate from the 2012 fiscal year.Due to the fact that the tax rate is higher than the effective rate, two public hearings are required to take place prior to voting on the tax rate. Approval was given for the hearings to be held on Friday, September 6 and Thursday, September 12, both at noon at the front conference room in the hospital.Thereafter, at the regular board meeting slated for Monday, September 23 at 5:30 p.m., the board will vote on the tax rate.Also during the meeting, the July 2013 financial statements were reviewed and approved, as well as the July 2013 accounts payable and payroll. Approval was also given to the bad debt write-off list for July 2013, which was reviewed before its approval.The issuance of the 2013 contractual obligation was approved, as well as the minutes from the previous meeting. Furthermore, following a forty-minute executive session, the credentialing files and quality report were both approved.And in her Administrator's report, Donna Boatright discussed physician recruiting, as the hospital is exploring different options on specialists to potentially make weekly visits to the campus. She also stated that the previous Lunch and Learn seminar proved to be a successful program, and the hope is to be able to also attract the younger population to attend future seminars.

Anthropologie Rockefeller Center Holiday Windows
Home and apparel retailer Anthropologie always has the most beautiful window displays around, but they have outdone themselves with the current crop of designs. A magical mood is created using inexpensive synthetic materials with wintery textures and simple mechanical systems.
The display team at the Rockefeller Center store made an ethereal "breathing" inflated grid system that is operated by industrial fans. In a nearby window, translucent colored plastic shapes are dangled by motors, creating a sparkling layered effect. A vintage parachute adorned with glittering tinsel is draped across another space, while an adjacent window is covered entirely in pieces of scotch tape except for one circle peaking inside at a frosty lamp. Finally, glittering streamers create a subtly-colored backdrop in a different area.
To see these windows and many more, visit the Anthropologie store at 50 Rockefeller Plaza for a holiday season treat.

What is your role at CMCA?
"I am the new Development Manager for our 8 county service area. I was hired to increase awareness in our communities about the effects of poverty and our agencies goal to help individuals and families develop the skills and resources necessary to move toward self sufficiency. For more than 40 years, our mission has been to empower individuals and families to achieve self reliance. My job is essentially to seek out non federal funding sources in order to better support our communities and the people who live in them."
What got you involved in the organization?
"I was initially very moved emotionally by CMCA's works in the mid-Missouri region and its mission to eliminate poverty in our eight-county area. I am amazed at the depth of services that we provide to individuals and families in need. CMCA's vision focuses on the people they serve, the communities in which we live, and the organizations capacity to be an agent of change. I want to be a part of that change."
What expertise can you bring to the Cooper County area?
"By becoming more involved in the community I have the ability to help change that community for the better. I am from the mid-Missouri region and I am glad that I am able to give back to the community in a constructive, helpful way. I always have the quote that is near and dear to my heart and my character with me, it says: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us." I believe that I can be an agent of change in our communities. I only hope that I can bring as much as possible to Cooper County. "
How can people reach you?
"I am located at our Central Office in Boone County, however I travel to all eight counties frequently. The address is 807-B North Providence Road, Columbia, MO 65203 and the phone number is 573.443.8706, ext. 1030. I look forward to talking with all members of your community."
In addition?
"I believe if we all work together we can change the world in positive, inspiring ways!"

Predicting the future is not an easy task. If it was life would be a lot easier. Sometimes people get it right, more often wrong. Sometimes predictions become self fulfilling prophecies, someone writes about a future invention, then someone else reads it and decides to build one...
I don't know if what I write is going to happen but I suspect much of it will in one form or another. I'll tell you what I think is going to happen and why, only father time can tell us if I'm right or wrong.
Part 1: The Technology industry catches up with the rest of the world
The transfer of jobs overseas in the technology industry is the continuation of a process started in manufacturing many, many years ago. Organised workers and unionisation are next, a process started well over a century ago in other industries.
One way to predict the future is to look at the past. This may sound daft in the technology industry but perhaps surprisingly it is just as true here as anywhere else. The processes that will happen in the technology industry will mirror the changes in other industries as they too have had to adapt.
Liability and Regulation become the norm
The technology industry is still young, anyone can start a company and start selling software. They don't at this point have to worry about officially sanctioned certifications or liability, but not for long, they're both in the post, in fact in some cases they've already arrived [1]. With the increased complexity of software and our ever increased dependance on it, regulation of the software industry can't be too far away. In some countries it is illegal to call yourself an Architect or Engineer unless you have be authorised to do so, this does not really apply in the software industry at the moment but it will do.
Some fear the idea of liability because it will mean the end of programmer's freedom to create software. No, this does not mean that, this means that for major projects you will need to be qualified to participate in the most important aspects. Programmers will become like construction workers, as long as you can churn out working code that's fine, but the Architecture and Engineering within the system system will be done by highly qualified people and if it goes wrong they will be liable for the failure.
When errors hit critical infrastructure, things go wrong and lives get lost it'll all begin to change. The technology industry will mature and turn into just another infrastructure industry. I for one think software would work a lot better if those creating it were liable if it failed, programmers would be a lot more careful if they knew a huge fine was waiting if they got it wrong.
In the construction industry the Architect and Engineers are liable if something goes wrong, as a result they have to be very careful in their work and need to be certified competent in their profession before they work. As a result you don't see many buildings falling out of the skies, if you do it's major news [2]. Despite wind rain, sun and snow - the most powerful forces in nature - there are buildings still standing after thousands of years.
The Problem with Software
In order to create the more reliable that's going to be required the way software is developed is going to have to change. Programmers tend to use a bottom up approach, they are responsible for their own little part, there isn't much if anything in the way of an overall design. You don't know at the beginning what the end result will be.
Could you imagine constructing a building like this? It'd be a complete disaster! [3] [(see pages 5-6)]. Yet this is exactly how software is built, is it any wonder that so much fails. Fails? Yes, there is a problem known as "The Software Crisis" which is the fact that 88% of business software is late, works but not to specification, or just doesn't work properly. In an industry where the practitioners pride themselves on their intelligence, how come we get it wrong nine times out of ten?
There are many reasons for this: Bad software development models is just one [4], another reason is that business people and technical people don't understand one another, there is a miscommunication of requirements so what one wants and the other delivers are two different things. It is the attempt to fix this that causes many problems, it's often done to software never designed to change, late in the process so there isn't sufficient time to make the changes necessary in a good way.
There is also an unfortunate tendency in the technology industry for using young workers willing to work long hours, this has a double negative effect: Young programmers are inexperienced, long hours mean programmers get tired and make mistakes, mistakes take many times longer to fix than make so all those extra hours go to waste. I'd bet a team of older developers will produce better code faster in 40 hour weeks than a bunch of recent graduates working 60 (or more) hours.

Just a quick post tonight -- I'm exhausted, having worked about eleventy-seven hours since Friday (five shifts in three days, to be exact) and I'm heading to the bath with a big bowl of popcorn and a trashy novel.
I scooped some old knitting mags today, and although there are some gorgeous patterns (many of which I will post in days to come), there are definitely some things that we just don't need to see knitted:
And some things we shouldn't have to see at all:
I bid you a tasteful adieu until tomorrow, although I'm not sure if I can sleep after having seen those pictures.

Are you one of the 27% of Australians who haven't thought about saving power? Whether you've been cutting down on your consumption for a long time, recently, or not at all, we've compiled some energy saving tips to get you through summer.
Keep families happy and Christmas special this year with these tips from renowned child psychologist Dr John Irvine to survive the silly season.
"The taste of sea salt, the sun bleached hair, the smell of sun cream and the collection of sand in the bathroom- that's summer!" Evan, our National Marketing and Communications Manager. Looking back, summer days always feel longer in our memories; they are etched into our memories. Endless daylight, without the school routine, just the sun and the weather as friends.
Children's identities, knowledge, understandings, capacities, skills and relationships change during childhood - Belonging, Being and Becoming; the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, page 7. Framing the discussion that shows your child that you are apprehensive can show your child that adults have emotional reactions to change, but manage them by talking about them.
For many, the stress of Christmas starts from the moment the decorations hit the shops and doesn't end until the singing of Auld Lang Syne. The attempt to fulfill our children's wishes and live up to the expectations of a perfect Christmas causes many of us to feel overwhelmed and lose sight of what this festive time should really be about. Whether you are time poor or stretched financially, there are ways that you can take the pressure off and try to recapture the true spirit of Christmas...
An old favourite to add a touch of personality to your Christmas presents (and are a present in themselves). Another activity that can be as involved or as easy going as you please, encouraging children to use their imagination and creativity as they personalise their roll of wrapping paper.
