Vivendi SA is selling most of its majority stake in Activision Blizzard Inc. for $8.2 billion, giving the video game company back its independence as the French conglomerate tries to strengthen its balance sheet.business Updated: Jul 27, 2013 14:19 IST
Vivendi SA is selling most of its majority stake in Activision Blizzard Inc. for $8.2 billion, giving the video game company back its independence as the French conglomerate tries to strengthen its balance sheet.
Vivendi said Friday that 429 million of its shares will be sold to Activision itself for $5.83 billion, or $13.60 per share. Another 172 million shares will be sold for $2.34 billion to a consortium of investors including Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and Co-chairman Brian Kelly, who are contributing $100 million each.
Santa Monica, Calif.-based Activision makes games such as "World of Warcraft" and the wildly popular "Call of Duty" series. Vivendi acquired a majority stake in Activision in 2008 and combined it with its games unit, which included "Warcraft" publisher Blizzard Entertainment, so Activision will walk away a bigger company.
Vivendi, meanwhile, will reduce its stake in Activision to 12 percent. The French company will continue to hold 83 million Activision shares after the sale, which is expected to close in September.
Activision's newly found independence will come ahead of an important holiday season for video game companies. New consoles from Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp. coming out later this year are expected to fuel video game sales starting this fall and through the holidays.
Activision said in a conference call with investors Friday that this is a "tremendous" opportunity for the company and its shareholders. The move will reduce the number of available shares Activision has, which will increase the value of its remaining stock.
"Five years ago, we made one of the best decisions in our company's history when we joined forces with Blizzard Entertainment," Kotick said in the call. Since then, Activision has launched new games including "Diablo III" and the kid-focused "Skylanders."
After Friday's announcement, investors can shift their focus to Activision's games, including the upcoming "Destiny" from "Halo" creator Bungie that could be a "major hit" when it comes out next year, said Cowen and Co. analyst Doug Creutz.
Vivendi, whose shares closed up less than 1 percent to 16.07 euros in trading in Paris, said in a statement that the sale "provides the group with greater financial flexibility and creates value for our shareholders."
Part of the cash will be used to strengthen the balance sheet and maintain its credit rating. Vivendi has been trying to restructure and sell off some businesses in its diverse conglomerate, and announced earlier this week that it's in talks to sell its stake in Moroccan phone company Maroc Telecom.
Shares of Activision jumped $2.28, or 15 percent, to close at $17.46. The company's stock hit $17.76 earlier in the day, its highest level since August 2008.

UEFA Champions League: Celtic 2 Ajax 1
Goals either side of half-time from James Forrest and Beram Kayal gave Celtic a 2-1 UEFA Champions League win over Ajax on Tuesday.
Having fallen to Group H defeats against Milan and Barcelona, triumph over the Eredivisie outfit represents a huge boost to the Scottish champions' European hopes.
But it was tough going at times for Neil Lennon's men, with Christian Poulsen striking the post for the visitors before Forrest converted from the spot thanks to Stefano Denswil's 43rd-minute foul on Anthony Stokes.
Beram's speculative deflected drive early in the second period sent the home crowd into raptures, while Thulani Serero spurned Ajax's best two chances and drew a rash tackle from substitute Nir Biton that meant Celtic finished with 10 men before Lasse Schone netted an emphatic consolation as the game's final act.
Kayal replaced suspended Celtic captain Scott Brown in the centre of midfield, while Forrest was rewarded for his equaliser from the bench against Hibernian with a start on the right wing in place of hamstring victim Kris Commons.
Joel Veltman started his first Champions League game for Ajax in central defence as manager Frank de Boer also restored veteran midfielder Poulsen.
After an enterprising start from the home side, it was Ajax who went closest to opening the scoring when Poulsen steered a side-footed volley against the post with half an hour played after Charlie Mulgrew failed to clear a free-kick from Viktor Fischer.
But just as Celtic were beginning to toil they took the lead on the stroke of half-time after Denswil clumsily felled Stokes on the left-hand edge of the penalty area.
Debate over Forrest's spotting of the ball ensued, with Veltman, Poulsen and Celtic's Virgil van Dijk booked for their part in the argument, but the 22-year-old kept his cool to drill the kick beyond Jasper Cillessen's dive into the top right corner.
Perhaps buoyed by his end to the first-half, Forrest rampaged in from the right and forced Denswil to scramble clear at the near post two minutes after the restart.
Fraser Forster produced a stunning save to thwart Serero following the Ajax midfielder's slick one-two with Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, before Celtic claimed an unlikely two-goal cushion in the 54th minute.
Georgios Samaras cut in from the left byline to have a goal-bound effort blocked by Veltman and the loose ball fell to Kayal, whose clipped 25-yard effort took a decisive deflection off Denswil to nestle in the bottom corner.
Siem De Jong fizzed a drive from distance narrowly past the far post as Ajax sought a route back into the game, while Kayal wonderfully spun Serero before thudding another well-hit effort into Cillessen's chest as the game entered its final quarter.
Serero found space in the Celtic box with 11 minutes remaining but missed his kick before blazing over and Ajax reached the halfway point of the group stage with a solitary point despite Biton's late censure and fellow sub Schone's last-gasp intervention.

Roxane Gay introduces Not That Bad
Cultural critic and New York Times best-selling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, Roxane Gay, shares a new anthology.
Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture collects original and previously published essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers (including actors Ally Sheedy and Gabrielle Union), and critics that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence, and aggression they face, and where they are routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, gaslit, insulted, and bullied for speaking out. Searing and heartbreakingly candid, this provocative collection both reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting that not that bad must no longer be good enough.
Robin DiAngelo, Erin Trent Johnson + Aaron Morrison | White Fragility
Robin DiAngelo, author of the new book "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism," sits down with Community Equity Partners CEO Erin Trent Johnson and Mic Senior Writer Aaron Morrison to discuss one of the most daunting barriers to true racial equality.
In this groundbreaking and timely book, antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of "white fragility". Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo explores how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
Robin DiAngelo received her PhD in Multicultural Education from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2004. She earned tenure at Westfield State University, where she has taught courses in Multicultural Teaching, Inter-group Dialogue Facilitation, Cultural Diversity & Social Justice, and Anti-Racist Education. Her work on White Fragility has been featured or cited in Salon, NPR, Slate, Alternet, the Atlantic, The New York Times, and The Seattle Times. For over 20 years, DiAngelo has been a consultant and trainer on issues of racial and social justice, working with a wide-range of organizations including private, non-profit, and governmental. She was recently appointed to co-design the City of Seattle's Race and Social Justice Initiative Anti-Racism training (with Darlene Flynn).
Erin Trent Johnson is the CEO and principal coach, facilitator, and consultant for Community Equity Partners (CEP) and serves as the Senior Advisor for The Equity Lab. Erin works with organizations in the education, non-profit, government, and tech arenas that are committed to creating equitable and inclusive practices. Erin's approach to coaching and leadership development helps organization leaders notice, name and disrupt systemic barriers to equity and inclusion within themselves and their organizations. As a coach and facilitator, Erin provides a dynamic learning experience for leaders that fosters personal and professional growth, transforms organizational culture and leads to community impact. Erin has nearly fifteen years of experience and leadership in education, community organizing and community development which has prepared her to support leaders in solving their own problems of equity and community building.

"Money is a political construct, a construct of community, a construct of a society, that must be political. And if we do not control this, by definition, political force, because money is a force—it makes the world go round, as we know—if this political force it not controlled democratically, then we do not live in a democracy."

Nomi Prins: Collusion
Author and journalist Nomi Prins shines a light on the dark conspiracies and unsavory connections within the halls of power along with journalist Rich Benjamin.
The 2008 financial crisis started a chain reaction that boosted the influence of central bankers and caused a massive shift in the world order. Central banks and institutions are overstepping the boundaries of their mandates and directing the flow of money without any restrictions. Meanwhile, the cozy relationship between private and central banking ensures boundless manipulation with government support.
Nomi Prins is a journalist, speaker, respected TV and radio commentator, and former Wall Street executive. The author of six books, including All the Presidents' Bankers, Other People's Money, and It Takes a Pillage, her writing has been featured in the New York Times, Fortune, Mother Jones, Guardian, and Nation, among others. She was a member of Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) Federal Reserve Reform Advisory Council, and is on the advisory board of the whistle-blowing organization ExposeFacts.
Rich Benjamin is an American cultural critic, anthropologist, and author, best known for the non-fiction book Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America.
On the Future Prospects for Humanity, by Martin Rees
Humanity has reached a critical moment. Our world is unsettled and rapidly changing, and we face existential risks over the next century. Various prospects for the future—good and bad—are possible. Yet our approach to the future is characterized by short-term thinking, polarizing debates, alarmist rhetoric, and pessimism. In this short, exhilarating book, renowned scientist and bestselling author Martin Rees argues that humanity's future depends on our taking a very different approach to thinking about and planning for tomorrow.

Review Transcript:
You know, it's pretty sad when a film like Brave comes out and before anyone can even step in the midnight showing, a fair number of critics are putting it down. Not that critics being negative about a film is uncommon, of course. They're critics. They're basically paid to put down movies for whatever reason, and to forget they were ever kids at one point.
"Magic!? Well that's a convenient plot device!"
"The story is so…SIMPLE!"
"The characters are all so forgettable!"
"It's too goofy!"
"Such a disappointing presentation of Pixar's first female protagonist!"
Two things: 1) SHUT IT! 2) What the hell is wrong with you people?
Ok, I will admit that this movie doesn't immediately fall into my list of "Best Pixar Movies Ever" (The Incredibles and Wall-E are tied for #1), and it isn't perfect. But since when does a movie have to be perfect to be good? You know what? Let's discuss these points…
The use of magic in a story set in medieval Scotland in a FANTASY movie is "convenient"? A plot device it may be, but it's used in a way that works excellently and convincingly emphasizes the drama that unfolds throughout.
The story is simple? Compared to Toy Story and other Pixar movies, that may be true. But why does a movie need to have a complex story in order to be considered "good" by critics? Fact is, what Brave may lack in complexity it more than makes up for in depth and character development. Speaking of which…
Forgettable characters? Forgettable characters!? Save the miscellaneous people in the backgrounds, none of the characters were "forgettable". From Merida and her family to Lords MacGuffin, MacIntosh, and Dingwall (and their sons), every one of them find some way to stick in your memory. Your only excuse for forgetting them is if you have alzheimers. That or you're just stupid, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that.
It's too goofy!? Ok, well this may be the only legitimate complaint about the movie. While not overdone in my opinion, there are scenes that range from goofy slapstick to something pulled straight out of Looney Toons. The more extreme scenes to that regard are obviously aimed toward the *kids* in the audience, and unfortunately do feel out of place. That doesn't make them any less funny however.
A disappointing presentation of Pixar's first female protagonist…ok seriously, I must have seen a different movie than these people. What did you expect, for Merida to learn to believe in herself? She already believes in herself! The core of this movie revolves around the dynamics of a mother/daughter relationship and believable female character emotions that few movies outside of Lifetime dare to tread. Not only that, but we're presented with a theme that is largely underused in the moralistic sense. "All actions have consequences". Sure we see it in video games, but rarely in movies, and even more rare when that theme is attributed to more than just the primary protagonist!
All you really need to know about Brave is that it is a beautiful, heartfelt movie that takes a refreshingly strong stance in the dynamics between a mother and daughter that make up the emotional core of it all. Sure the script plays it safe in some respects, the storyline isn't very complex, and the humor is a bit ridiculous at moments, but the good by far outweighs the bad, and none of those negate the fact that Brave is a wonderful movie experience. Merida takes the "Disney Princess" title and makes it her own, setting herself apart from all the others in a way that is sure to delight girls everywhere. Especially girls of the independent, headstrong, and determined inclination.
I give Brave: 8 / 10
You know what, forget about the critics and what they have to say about Brave, go see it for yourself! Though a word of advice to any guys that are approximately 27 years old like me: make sure to bring the kids or a significant other along (thank you honey) so that all the parents in the theater don't look at you like Jerry Sandusky. What, too soon?

Ryan Seacrest Admits Girlfriend Julianne Hough Has Crush on Phillip Phillips
Last night on 'American Idol,' handsome host Ryan Seacrest, who, according to TMZ, was battling a stomach bug, had to deal with another ailment: the fact that his lady love Julianne Hough is crushing on contestant Phillip Phillips.
The singer has an effect on women. Remember, J. Lo's comments on one of PP's perfs? She cooed, "That was sooooo sexy." Clearly, ladies love the singer/guitarist. We admit it. He is cute and he has oodles of talent.
After the singer performed, Seacrest told the studio and viewing audiences that Phillips, 21, rushed past Hough, 23, backstage, causing her to have a "reaction." Seacrest said, "I think she sighed and blushed and said, 'Yummy.'" The camera then panned to the actress/singer, who was sheepish and giggling at being outed. You know, like a schoolgirl with a crush. Her boyfriend, who is nearly 15 years her senior, continued, "We'll be having this conversation after the show, darling." Zing!
If Phillip Phillips gets voted off tonight (April 26), it may have to do with Seacrest stuffing the ballot or altering the results, since he sees the singer as a threat and needs to send him on his merry way. Karma, right? We kid, we kid. Seacrest would never do anything like that, even when his GF is crushing on an 'Idol' cutie.

Meta-Reflection variable name detection problem for Pull Widgets in PHP
First of all, Happy Nowruz! Tomorrow is officially the new Jalali year's start. Best of wishes to everyone.
The Problem
I've been working on an elegant design for a new PHP Widget library for some time now. It is intended to provide a Pull MVC feature for jframework. As you know, MVC provides a separation of concerns, allowing different expertise people to work separately on their designated part of the application. The model part (which is the business logic of the application, plus some of the solution domain) is usually very re-usable and employs object oriented to great extent. The controller part, is mostly lightweight and consists of code usually not re-usable.
The problem resides in the view part of the MVC. Views are mostly HTML/CSS that dump some variables and arrays. Sometimes templates are employed in views, to reduce repeated code, but still most of the views are repeated code. Imagine two different areas of a web application, both providing tabular data of different origin. 70% of their code is the same but due to difference of data nature, usually no re-using is done.
I'm not gonna talk about benefits of code re-use here, but you get the picture.
Pull MVC, in contrast to Push MVC, is a system in which the view asks for content to render themselves by pulling them in, instead of pushing the content directly on the screen. It is usually provided by widget systems, and is much more object oriented. The problem with Pull systems is that view is usually designed and not developed, by a graphical designer who is adept in HTML and CSS.
The Actual Thingie
The first thing I wanted to do, was to preserve maximum simplicity. You can not expect a library to require redundancy to provide code re-use. I do not like libraries that take control of everything and don't let developers to change their mechanics. So I wanted to replace this practice:
$form1 = new jForm(); $form1->setName("form1"); $form1->setMethod("post"); $button1 = new jFormButton("form1"); $button1->setName("button1"); $button1->setLabel("Push Me!");
To a single liner elegant approach:
$form1 = new jForm(jForm::Method_Post); $button1 = new jFormButton($form1, "Push Me!");
So the first thing I needed to be done, was for jForm (or any other jWidget instance) to know what variable it is assigned to - in this case $form1 - and name itself after it. The name is actually used a lot in the generated HTML code, for validation, for CSRF protection, for HTML form element names, for HTML IDs, for CSS classes and a lot more.

Something about ghetto people and raising bad *ss kids. Off the hook *ss kids…some with hook heads. Throwing things at the teachers, cussin' around town, running around the f*ckin' store treating it like it's an Olympic track meet where they can win free Kool-Aid for a year. (Who else resists the urge to trip one?) Since when was a Kmart run a day at the park? If the kids need a place to play, take them to Chuck E. Cheese. Repeat, Chuck E. Cheese, not Cheesecake Factory. This author wants to enjoy the herb-crusted salmon in peace.
Is it that being bad as a child is believed to make you tough enough to handle the real world? Is the parent that burnt out to do any serious child rearing (meaning child development in community college was a waste of financial aid and she may as well have taken cosmetology)? Does mama need her Newport or Black & Mild–or blunt–to cope anymore? (Who knows where daddy is–probably ran away because he knew going in it was no use even tryin'.) Ghetto parents let their kids do just off the wall things. As much sugary bullsh*t as they're allowed to eat, it's no wonder these kids just go a million miles an hour tearing up toys, knocking down the glass furniture, making a big mess, and making a parent think of selling them on the black market like Shaniya Davis's mother (never too soon).
And there is no "it takes a village to raise a child," because ghetto parents ain't having anyone say sh*t to their precious jewel of a child. No matter what they did. So of course you can forget about a ghetto child knowing the meaning of accountability, because they've been taught they're bigger than society. There should be a law where you're allowed to intervene under the right conditions and circumstances, allowed one exception a year of "going chimp" on someone when they're just doing too much at your expense. OK, maybe not go chimp, because that leaves pretty ugly results, but you should be allowed to dish out a good sound beating like Mister once in a while. Or just flick one like Superman did those beer nuts in Superman III.
Nope, can't go there, times have changed, so you're just *ss out like we all are. The kids will be bully-footing their schoolmates and everyone else in the vicinity. Girls hella fast getting knocked up at 13, boys will always itch to wanna do some dirt, drinking and smoking way too young, something illegal or else all isn't right with the world. This is how they get tried as adults. They may as well be the adults because we've turned the world over to them, spoil them, let 'em do whatever the f*ck they want. After all, at the month of this writing, parents ghetto or not ghetto are out breaking themselves to get their kids the latest expensive gadget or a jacket they'll get too fat for in a few weeks or a toy they won't give a sh*t about by MLK's birthday, all for the sake of holiday spirit. Rewards their ADD-having behinds won't appreciate because they weren't taught to.
The babies are not the greatest because instead of teaching them to be, we're teaching them they already are…and getting results like every douche on My Super Sweet Sixteen.
This could go a billion directions…so could ghetto kids if this author had a 32 oz. Louisville Slugger at his disposal.

Submitted to: Journal of Apicultural Research
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/18/2005
Publication Date: 8/10/2005
Citation: Pettis, J.S., Feldlaufer, M.F. 2005. Efficacy of tylosin and lincomycin in controlling american foulbrood in honey bee colonies. Journal of Apicultural Research. 44(3):106-108
Interpretive Summary: Honey bee colonies are plagued by a highly contagious bacterial disease called American foulbrood (AFB). Recently the bacteria have developed resistance to the only legal antibiotic used by beekeepers, thereby allowing the disease to become more widespread. We field-tested two new antibiotics for effectiveness in controlling this devastating disease. Both antibiotics were shown to be effective in controlling AFB in colonies with severe AFB infections. This research will lead to safe and effective control measures for AFB and is of great interest to beekeepers in the U. S. and worldwide.
Technical Abstract: Two new antibiotics were both shown to be effective in controlling American foulbrood (Paenibacillus larvae) in honey bee colonies. Two dosages, 100 or 200mg of tylosin tartrate or lincomycin hydrochloride were evaluated. Each antibiotic was applied in 20g of confectioners sugar three times seven days apart. The higher 200mg dose of both antibiotics gave consistent control after 45 days. The lower dose of 100mg did not result in complete control in the colonies treated with Tylosin, one of ten colonies still having detectable disease after 45 days. Thus, a dose of 200mg applied three times over three weeks in dust form was highly effective in controlling foulbrood and represents an appropriate dose for either of these two proposed antibiotics for use in honey bee colonies

British cops are currently looking for three men and a woman who reportedly attacked a man as he left a kebab house on Prince of Wales Road in Norwich last week.
What makes this crime unique is that two of the men were dressed as Oompa Loompas from the classic 70's film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." The men reportedly had painted orange faces and dyed green hair, and were wearing the same hooped tops seen in the 1971 film.
The victim suffered cuts and black eyes, and police are appealing for witnesses.

New Directions in the NHGRI Office of the Director
New Directions in the NHGRI Office of the Director
January 16, 2008
To advance its efforts to build upon the foundation laid by the sequencing of the human genome in a swift and efficient manner, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has made several key staff changes in the Office of the Director.
This month, Kathy L. Kopnisky, Ph.D., joined NHGRI as Chief of Staff in the Immediate Office of the Director (IOD), enabling Acting Chief Laura Lyman Rodriguez, Ph.D., to return to her policy roots as the new Senior Advisor to the Director for Research Policy.
"I'm excited to have an experienced and motivated scientific administrator like Dr. Kopnisky join my staff. This will help NHGRI play an even greater role in shaping the ever-expanding field of genomics," said NHGRI Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "To that end, I'm also thrilled that Dr. Rodriguez will now have the freedom to focus her wealth of talent and expertise on the crucial area of research policy. Her work is essential to the development of responsible policies for areas of genomic research that promise to change the face of medicine."
Dr. Rodriguez holds a doctorate in cell biology from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. She has served NHGRI since November 2002, when she joined the Policy and Program Analysis Branch as a health policy analyst. Named Special Advisor to the Director in September 2003, she maintained a policy portfolio on issues surrounding human subjects research ethics and provided scientific support and coordination for the Director's activities and special projects.
One of Dr. Rodriguez's most significant contributions to research policy has been her role in the development of the NIH Policy for Datasharing in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Over the past two years, NHGRI and other partners in the public and private sectors have pioneered the development and use of GWAS. These studies, which involve scanning the genomes of thousands of people for markers of genetic variation, have provided a powerful new tool to identify the genetic roots of common, complex traits and diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and mental illness. The ground-breaking GWAS policy for NIH-supported researchers, which Dr. Rodriguez helped to craft, was published in the Federal Register last summer and is now in the process of being implemented.
"With the expansion and scale-up of whole genome association studies across disciplines, I now have the opportunity to develop the policy issues I came to NHGRI to focus on: informed consent, participant involvement in genomic and genetic studies, and improvement of regulatory issues that can unnecessarily encumber the conduct of research," said Dr. Rodriguez.
Dr. Rodriguez also contributed to the policy framework and legal partnership of the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN), which is administered by the Foundation for NIH Research. She looks forward to more involvement in the development of public-private research partnerships in her new role.
In addition to her responsibilities in the policy arena, Dr. Rodriguez was tasked with managing the NHGRI Director's staff in 2005 and helped to lay the groundwork for the arrival in January 2008 of the IOD's first full-time Chief of Staff, Dr. Kopnisky.
Dr. Kopnisky brings eight years of experience in scientific administration at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to her new position with NHGRI. Dr. Kopnisky holds a doctorate in human physiology with a concentration in molecular and cellular neurobiology from the University of Florida in Gainesville. She most recently served as the Chief of HIV Therapeutics/Clinical Trails and Psychiatric Programs in NIMH's Division of Extramural Research. Her portfolio focused on understanding the mechanisms by which HIV promotes brain dysfunction and fostering therapeutics development for the clinical complications of NeuroAIDS.
"I've found NHGRI a fascinating place to work, at the forefront of biomedical research and an exciting new career path," said Dr. Kopnisky.
As chief of staff, she will facilitate scientific efforts on behalf of Dr. Collins. She will oversee the day-to-day operations of the IOD and compile background research to help develop Dr. Collins' scientific presentations.
"I also hope to be a go-between, a home for fledging scientific initiatives we are exploring and either see them through to completion or pass off to the appropriate networks," said Dr. Kopnisky, who cites a pioneering effort to identify genetic variants associated with autism as one of the innovative projects currently demanding her attention.

At the head of Butler Wash stands a 30 foot natural rock monument. This image was taken from the top of this monument. From this location one can see the Blue Mountain, Bears Ears, Ute Mountain and Comb Ridge. Land marks in all four of the Four Corner states (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona) can be seen. Butler Monument is 10 miles west of Blanding, Utah, USA.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- The raucous, lively political rallies that filled the streets of Tehran have come to a close as the campaign season officially ended on Thursday, the day before the presidential election.
A Mousavi supporter holds a sign reading in Farsi 'Lying is Forbidden' during a street rally in Tehran.
Posters bearing the faces of the top candidates were torn down, while fresh paint covered graffiti proclaiming one candidate's supremacy over another.
Tens of thousands of Iranians took part in the final rallies Wednesday, most of them in support of Mir Hossein Moussavi, the leading reformist candidate and the main challenger to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
As far as the eye could see, people walked for hours from east of the city to the west, converging on Tehran's Freedom Square, which became the symbol of the Islamic revolution that swept this country back in 1979.
If voter turnout is anything like the rallies ahead of Friday's vote, it will be significant.
People who are old enough to remember the Islamic revolution 30 years ago say this week's rallies in the capital were the largest they had seen since then.
Moussavi has energized Iran's women and young people, and his supporters hope that will be enough to sweep him into victory.
But much of his support is coming from those frustrated with Ahmadinejad's four years in office, during which prices of goods have skyrocketed and personal freedoms have plummeted.
"Thirty years of frustration is exploding," said Mohamed, a mechanical engineer student who took part in Wednesday's march to Freedom Square. "Even if Ahmadinejad wins, we are here just to express our opposition."
The Iranian president still has staunch support especially among the poor in the provinces to whom he has doled out money, benefits and favors.
"Honestly we have never seen anyone as courageous as Ahmadinejad," said one of Ahmadinejad's supporters, who took part in this week's rallies. CNN's Christiane Amanpour reports emotions on the street »
Moussavi's supporters hope that he follows in the same footsteps as Mohammed Khatami, a reformist candidate who overwhelmingly won the presidency in 1997, raising hopes that the reformist movement would bring religious and democratic freedoms to the Islamic republic. Watch CNN review the unprecedented online presence of candidates »
But the real power in Iran rests in the hands of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameni.
By the time Khatami left office in 2005, he was unable to make major changes due to the opposition of hardline elements in Iran's clerical establishment.
No matter who wins Friday's election, analysts say it is unlikely that any of the candidates would change Iran's position on its nuclear program, which the Islamic republic insists is for civilian purposes but the United States and other Western powers believe may be a cover for a weapons program.
Iranian-American analyst and scholar Reza Aslan said that while Moussavi is "a little bit more of a moderate when it comes to the nuclear issue ... all four candidates agreement with Iran's right to develop nuclear."
Nevertheless, Aslan said that all four candidates also "recognize it's time to open up to America and to the international community because there's no other option with regard to the economy."
"But I think with Moussavi you have someone that I think would be more palatable for a Barack Obama to sit down next to," he told CNN's "American Morning."
The U.S. president has indicated his willingness to open dialogue with Iran -- something his predecessor was unwilling to do. But talks with the incumbent Iranian president are more likely to trigger criticism because of Ahmadinejad's controversial statements, including his repeated denial of the Holocaust and his comments about wiping Israel off the map.
Aslan predicted that Moussavi will emerge victorious after Friday's vote because of his ability to energize key segments of Iran's population. iReport.com: Human chain for election in Iran
"He's finally got the young people in Iran to care about politics again," Aslan said. "They really dropped out four years ago and they're back in full force now."

We assumed that in the future humans, or other biological entities, would receive mechanical or electronic 'upgrades'. It looks like it could be the other way around. Machines might be getting biological upgrades.
Adding computer chips to someone's brain is a long way away, but adding neurons to a computer may be just around the corner. Researchers have just added nerve cells to specially-constructed semi-conductors, and the results seem to indicate that one day, biological nerve cells will be strung through computers. We won't put the ghost in the machine - we'll put the meat in it.
This particular step in human/machine evolution was taken at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers constructed little tubes of silicon and germanium. These tubes are often used in computer technology, but they were chosen mostly for their ability to insulate the electric impulses that run down nerve cells. After the network of tubs had been constructed, mouse nerve cells were added to the structure. The tubes were specially sized so that the main bodies of the cells were too big to fit inside them, but the long axons - the slender 'arms' of the cells - were perfectly able to fit down the tubes. After a little while, the nerve cells has threaded themselves into the network of tubes.
This represents a very promising direction in mechanical-biological integration, but it also signals that the integration might not go the way we've been expecting. Machines are still struggling with things like walking, recognizing pictures, and the basic manipulation of objects. Humans have no such difficulty. In the future, instead of putting robot hands on a human, they'll put human hands on a robot - and have them controlled by human neurons going to a basic human brain.

Ahead of a music award show, there's usually tension-filled questions that viewers hope will be answered during the ceremony.
Who will shock? Who will flop? Who will win big?
But the big question heading into the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday was simple yet crucial: Why?
In an already-crowded market of second-tier telecasts vying to be the viral, fun alternative to the prestigious Grammys, what purpose does this show have that the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, etc., don't already satisfy?
During the three-hour, fan-voted telecast, that answer never came.
Touted by radio conglomerate Clear Channel, the promise was a groundbreaking approach to the typical awards show format in an "intimate atmosphere."
So what did that look like?
Inside the Shrine Auditiorm, the show's setup was a jarring collision of award show glamour and arena pizazz.
Superstars and industry leaches held court at tables as waiters passed around cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
Below the VIP area, hundreds of fans were crammed like sardines into two pits that hugged the front of the stage (the balcony was backed with seated fans). But don't fret: The hours of brutal standing were soundtracked by a pair of DJs who kept the party moving.
The stage was designed to look like a sprawling, music-centric vision of Los Angeles with a massive billboard doubling as a video screen, the iHeartRadio logo built atop a faux building and music keys serving as skyscrapers.
Performers seemed to miss the intimate memo as well, opting for splashy showings.
Pitbull opened the show aboard a gigantic yacht with a bevy of buxom beauties and a girl group we didn't bother to remember.
The grandiose live displays continued throughout the evening. Usher jumped from table to table as he danced to a posthumous Michael Jackson single, Ariana Grande traded in pop pagentry for sexy showstopping and a hits-filled medley from Pharrell that provided the night's sole audience-wide dance party.
Even country stalwart Luke Bryan performed under a bevy of LED lights and arena-friendly staging, making his knack for jeans, T-shirt and a ballcap appear incredibly inappropriate for the occasion. He made up for it with the hip swinging, though.
The action stretched outside the Shrine as well, with Ed Sheeran tacking a two-song medley from the Hotel Café and Arcade Fire being beamed in from famed L.A. haunt the Roxy.
Performances were spliced in with musicians telling their "L.A. story," opening up about what brought them to the city and how it shaped their career. Lady Gaga pretaped a package, as did John Legend, Iggy Azalea, Chris Martin and Kendrick Lamar, the latter of whom probably had the deepest roots in the city and paid tribute to L.A. by covering the West Coast rap classic "California Love."
But this was an awards show, too.
Rihanna scored big, taking home four awards, including artist and song of the year and best fan army.
"It's not easy, what we do. It's very difficult at times. I never felt comfortable being anything other than myself," Rihanna said, after arriving late (she was stuck in traffic).
Miley Cyrus nabbed the trophy for best lyrics for "Wrecking Ball," a song she had absolutely zero hand in writing, with her dad accepting for her; Pitbull and Kesha's "Timber" was named the best collaboration, beating two smashes from Rihanna and two from comeback king Justin Timberlake; and Avicii could be seen waiting patiently in the wings (and getting notes from a producer) to collect his trophy for EDM song.
Pharrell took home the night's highest honor, iHeart Radio's Innovator award, and was feted in a video package that featured a who's-who of celebs, including Beyonce, Oprah, Usher, Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga, giving the producer-singer props.
"He was the person who made it cool to just be you," Beyonce said.
"You gotta believe in something bigger than yourself," Pharrell said. "I never dreamt in a million years as a producer that I would be standing here as an artist."
"All I did was write the songs," he continued. "You guys did all the rest."
But despite some weighty star power, the telecast lacked serious heft.
Plenty of winners were no-shows. Drake, a previously announced performer, never bothered to call in sick. Performances were largely forgettable, but maybe everyone is saving their juice for the Billboard Awards in a few weeks?
Ultimately the overwrought telecast (three hours are entirely too much time for this) was nothing more than a night out in L.A. -- expect all the cool kids stayed in.
As for that question of why? Maybe they'll figure out their purpose next year.

This study could not compare combinations including a protease inhibitor with combinations including an NNRTI (efavirenz, nevirapine, or delavirdine) because too few of the children were on NNRTI combinations -- only 3% in the last year of the study, 1999 -- compared to 73% on protease-inhibitor combinations, and 24% receiving only nucleoside analogs. But an accompanying editorial(2) noted that combination therapy with NNRTI drugs can achieve the same result. All the children were on antiretroviral therapy of some kind by 1999.
African American and Hispanic children were found to start therapy later. After statistical adjustment for severity of illness, this effect became less, and was no longer statistically significant. However, the authors suggested continued vigilance to ensure equitable access to treatment.
The authors also urged continued vigilance about the long-term risks of today's antiretroviral drugs when started in childhood; serious metabolic and other side effects have been seen in children as well as adults. This cohort study (PACTG 219) is continuing, and will be able to provide more information about long-term outcome and risk vs. benefit.

Fear not, this is not a rehash of our press release from the other day. I was browsing what people wrote about Ubuntu and EC2 and I'm amazed at some of the confusion. The most bizarre so far is an article about "Ubuntu's next wave: Open server, closed cloud," talking about how Canonical is steering users to Amazon's "closed cloud" in order to monetize Ubuntu and thus how they're betraying free software. Very weird conspiracy theory!
Back to topic, the reason we've decided to support Ubuntu is because we couldn't afford not to :-) At the very beginning we decided to support a single OS because we couldn't afford to support a second one simply due to the development and testing overhead, and at that time CentOS was the right choice. All along we've had users using Ubuntu with RightScale and we did our best to support them without spending a lot of official time on it. But six to nine months ago it became clear that demand for Ubuntu server was on the rise and that we'd better pay attention.
What finally pushed us over the edge is that the Ubuntu team and Canonical made it clear that they are supporting the cloud. They see the opportunity to be the OS of choice in the cloud and they are going at it. In addition they are supporting the Eucalyptus project and we have been supporting it as well, so that's another common point. All that made it clear that it's in everyone's benefit for us to roll up our sleeves and unleash Ubuntu on RightScale.
It's weird how the article quoted above sees Canonical's support of EC2 as betraying open source. I, of course, hope that Canonical will indeed monetize its cloud efforts by offering paid support services in the cloud environment. I want the company to stay around to continue supporting the Ubuntu project! But I see a cloud support offering as being no different than offering paid support services in the data center environment, which it does today. Does anyone complain that Canonical offers support on Dell servers because the servers are not free? What's different in the cloud? We pay Amazon to "lease" the servers and run them to boot. How different is that with respect to Ubuntu or Canonical?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to many Ubuntu users on the RightScale service, whether free or paid, and we'll keep increasing our Ubuntu offering!
NB: One of the things we're doing somewhat behind the scenes is running redundant mirrors of the Ubuntu repos within EC2, so if you're launching hundreds of servers and doing apt-gets then those will all go at lightning speed and succeed. In addition, we're keeping daily versions of the mirrors, so next year you'll still be able to apt-get with the state of the mirrors of today to guarantee a successful launch and install.

- Main article: Paradoxical techniques
The term Reframing designates a communication technique which has origins in family systems therapy and the work of Virginia Satir. Milton H. Erickson has been associated with reframing and it also forms an important part of Neuro-linguistic programming. In addition, the provocative therapy uses reframing with an emphasis on humor.
Another meaning or another sense is assigned by reframing a situation or context, thus sees a situation in another frame. A frame can refer to a belief, what limits our view of the world. If we let this limiting belief go, new conceptions and interpretation possibilities can develop.
Psychotherapists trained in the reframing by communication attempt to let scenes appear in another point of view (frame) so that someone feels relieved or is able to deal with the situation better.
An example of this is the reframing of the role as a passive victim ("the craze overcomes me") into an active role, from which different decisions than so far can be made ("can you now see the situations out, in which you decide your course of action?"). Other examples are the reinterpretation one than negatively noticed behavior ("my mother constantly interferes into my life.") in a positive ("your mother would like to thus protect you"), or a sensitization going by that "a well meant" behavior releases negative effects with the target object.
Anthony Robbins wrote, "A signal has meaning only in the frame or context in which we perceive it." [1] For example, if a person is resting in bed and hears his bedroom door open, that exact same noise will have two totally different meanings to him and evoke drastically different reactions depending on whether (1) he is alone in a locked house, or (2) he had previously invited his friend over and left the back door to his house unlocked. According to Anthony Robbins:
[I]f we perceive something as a liability, that's the message we deliver to our brain. Then the brain produces states that make it a reality. If we change our frame of reference by looking at the same situation from a different point of view, we can change the way we respond in life. We can change our representation or perception about anything and in a moment change our states and behaviors. This is what reframing is all about. [2]
For example, say a university or college student breaks his leg during summer vacation. He is crestfallen, because he can no longer play tennis and golf with his family and friends. A few days later, he realizes that he now has the quiet, alone time to learn how to play the guitar, something he had always wanted to do but had been too busy to attempt. He then discovers he has a great aptitude for music and becomes a decent guitar player by summer's end. One year later, he changes his major to music. After graduation he embarks on a successful music career. Years later, his friends recall how unfortunate his leg fracture was that summer, and he says, "Breaking my leg was the best thing that ever happened to me!" From then on, whenever he is disabled by injury or illness, he recalls the lesson and is far less despondent over his temporary disability than he otherwise would have been, as he takes the opportunity to do something novel.
Six step reframeEdit
- Main article: Reframing (NLP)
The six-step reframe is a pattern for changing unwanted habits and behaviors developed by John Grinder, the co-founder of NLP.[3]. It involves:
- Identifying the context where the unwanted behavior pattern occurred,
- Establishing unconscious yes/no signals,
- Confirming that the behavior has a positive intent,
- Finding a number of ways of fulfilling the positive intent,
- Selecting the best of the possible alternatives generated in step 4,
- Checking that the selection is ecological, that is, it is acceptable to the individual and in relationships to others.
Context reframingEdit
The meaning of any behaviour or event exists only in relationship to the context in which it occurs.
Every behaviour is appropriate in some context. With a context reframe a person takes the disliked behaviour and asks, "Where could this behaviour be useful?" or "In what other context would this particular behaviour be of value?"
A context reframe leaves the meaning of a behaviour the same and shows how it could be a useful response in a different context.
For example:
A: "I procrastinate all the time; I just can't get things done."
B: "That's a great skill to have; especially when you apply it to overeating - just put off having that second helping. Lucky you."
Value reframingEdit
In brand management and marketing terms value reframing means giving a new value to a product/service by finding a new market/context.

AG Coakley sues Sullivan & Cogliano, a for-profit Brockton school, for alleged deceptive ads
The Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is suing Sullivan & Cogliano Training Centers Inc. over allegations that the Brockton-based for-profit school has misled students with deceptive ads that suggest that school graduates had great success in landing jobs.
An attempt to reach Sullivan & Cogliano was not immediately successful.
The complaint was filed today in Plymouth County Superior Court.
"We allege Sullivan & Cogliano deceived students by promising careers in the medical field with misleading ads and inflated placement rates,'' Coakley said in a statement. "We are conducting an extensive investigation into the for-profit school industry. For-profit schools are extremely expensive and heavily funded through federal student loans, so all taxpayers have a stake in this. If students do not receive these promised jobs and wind up in default, the students and taxpayers suffer the consequence while the schools continue to profit.''
Coakley's complaint alleges that in recruitment documents, ads, and enrollment documents, Sullivan & Cogliano claimed that between 70 and 100 percent of graduates received jobs in a medical office. But according to Coakley's office, the school was counting jobs in fast food and big box stores toward its placement percentages. Coakley said its investigation found that less than 25 percent of graduates found work in the medical field.
Another finding from the attorney general's investigation: Of the 183 students that took part in Sullivan & Cogliano's "Medical Office Assistant'' program, 22 got jobs in medical offices. Those students paid on average $14,000 in tuition, often using federal loans.
"Most students did not find work that paid well enough to pay off their debts,'' Coakley's release said.
