Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Oh, poor Greg Heffley! Somehow, he must manage to endure his summer vacation. You see, Greg knows his parents expect him to be outside enjoying the warm weather during the "three-month guilt trip" as he calls it, but he despises the outdoors. He only wants to spend those 90 precious days inside and in front of the television with the blinds drawn and the lights turned off --- all the better to play one video game after another.
Greg reflects on how the first part of the summer, when he actually did venture outside, was not exactly stellar. His best friend, Rowley, invited him to go to the local country club swimming pool with his family every day. The first mishap was asking a new neighbor girl to go with them and then watching her find romance with the lifeguard. Moving onward while musing about some people's lack of loyalty, Greg felt free to kvetch about the service at the country club, griping whenever the waiter forgot to put an umbrella in his drinks. Eventually, Rowley informed Greg that he was no longer invited to go to the pool with his family.
However, Greg's escapades at the country club pool pale beside his misadventures at the town pool. Since swimmers must walk through the locker room, Greg has seen some sights of men soaping down that have marred him for life --- the illustrations of this traumatic event are hysterical.
Meanwhile, Greg and his dad bond over the appallingly saccharine Li'l Cutie comic, which they both despise. But Dad has his issues with Greg's summer vacation lifestyle, calling him at noon each day to be sure he isn't still in bed. Greg has had to perfect a chipper wide-awake voice for these occasions, despite the fact that the parental calls always wake him. Dad appears to be a bit grumpy about other things, too, such as Mom's minute-by-minute calls to him at work, complete with detailed updates on the younger Manny's potty-training progress.
Greg sometimes hits the nail right on the head. He comments that his big brother Rodrick, being the first born, has had every second of his babyhood recorded for posterity, with photos of Rodrick's every experience, such as his first time eating peas --- and also his second time eating peas. Mom's documentation of child #2's progression is much sketchier. The family scrapbook includes a photo of Greg soon after his birth, one of Mom carrying newborn Greg home, and then skips to "Gregory's sixth birthday party," followed by "Gregory's first day of middle school."
Greg's wry commentary covers the unexpected pleasures of having your hair cut in an actual beauty salon (TV, tabloids galore, and plenty of gossip), the completely reasonable terror of "the muddy hand," and a shared commercial venture with Rowley that goes quite badly. One laugh-out-loud interlude describes Greg's mandatory participation in a Mom-invented "Reading is Fun" club, complete with books she has chosen, including LITTLE WOMEN, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and other classics adolescent boys are sure to find riveting. Greg concludes that a classic must be "at least fifty-years-old, and some person or animal has to die at the end."
There aren't many books that I sit right down to devour cover to cover the minute I get my hands on them, but I am compelled to do just that as soon as I discover a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And this latest entry is no exception. As usual, it had me chortling throughout. Whether or not you're a member of the actual target audience is entirely irrelevant to the amount of pleasure to be had in this worthy addition to the Wimpy Kid series.

The Nevada congressman whose district includes the ranch of a cattleman battling the federal government over grazing rights on public land says he wants the rancher's armed supporters to leave.
"The community wants them to go," Rep. Steven Horsford, a freshman Democrat, said in an interview. The armed militiamen, some openly brandishing semi-automatic rifles, have been posted outside the Bunkersville ranch of Cliven Bundy for weeks.
The scene has caused many of his constituents to fear for their safety, Horsford said. "And it's affecting our local economy."
Horsford met with the local sheriff last Sunday and is working to convene a meeting with other elected officials, including the governor, later this week to discuss how to deal with the self-described citizen soldiers.
Businesses, including hotels, have reported tens of thousands of dollars in lost income since the standoff between Bundy and federal agents over the $1 million in fees that the Bureau of Land Management says the rancher owes over his cattle grazing on public land.
Federal agents last month moved to round up and confiscate Bundy's cattle, but after the militiamen rallied to the rancher's defense the BLM backed off, though it says the matter is not settled. Bundy and his supporters are awaiting the government's next move.
Weeks later, the militia remain, scattered around Bundy's ranch 80 miles north of Las Vegas. Many still dress in military gear, living in camps with posted sentries and a command system.
The militiamen insist they have been well-received by the community and have received donations of food and free hotel rooms. They say people have stopped them to shake their hands.
Bundy's wife, Carol, disputed the congressman's comments that public opinion had turned against the militia's presence.
"People around here still want them to be around," she said. "I think this politician should get his facts straight. They take one comment and put it into the mouths of everybody here. And it's just not true."
She added the family has no plans to ask the militia to leave. "They're still serving their purpose," she said.
While conservative lawmakers in Washington initially embraced Bundy's fight as an example of federal overreach, many have had little to say since the rancher made pointed comments about African Americans and social welfare.
Horsford said that when he visited his constituents last week, "this is all people can talk about .... This has put a negative image on the community," he said.
Residents of the area have expressed concern that "out-of-state" armed militia have set up checkpoints where residents are required to prove they live in the area before being allowed to pass, Horsford said in a recent letter to Clark County Sheriff Douglas C. Gillespie.
Horsford told the Los Angeles Times that he understood Bundy's supporters' rights to free speech and to assemble on private property.
"But when young kids don't feel safe going to school, when moms don't feel safe going to church on Sunday, and when law enforcement feels like their lives are at risk, then the general community's rights have been violated," Horsford said.
As for Bundy, Horsford said he would leave that to the legal system.
"But it's time for him to ask these militia groups to leave. Because his neighbors don't want them there."
The Bundy clan have their own requirements for the Clark County sheriff. Last week three of the rancher's sons, trailed by an army of TV cameras, rallied outside the sheriff's office in Las Vegas and presented paperwork demanding an investigation of the federal government's activities on what they said was land that should be managed by the state of Nevada.
Simon reported from Washington, and Glionna reported from Las Vegas.

The related Clan Calum is said to have been from Ariskeodnish. One of the earliest records of the name was Reginald MacCallum of Corbarron who was made the hereditary constable of Craignish Castle in 1414. Sir Duncan Campbell granted him lands in Craignish and on Loch Avich. This arrangement demonstrates the strong alliance between the MacCallums and the Campbells of Argyll; an arrangement which made them deadly foes of the MacDonalds.
In 1647, Sir Alexander MacDonald killed Zacharie MacCallum, a supporter of the Campbell Chief, in battle at Ederline. In the 17th century, another Zachary Maccallum was bequeathed the Cobarron lands by the last of that branch.

BY R.A. Bradshaw AND A.L. Burlingame
For the past 10 years – indeed, from its inception – Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's only home-grown journal, has enjoyed an almost unique leadership position in the development of its field and the role that proteomics is playing in helping unravel the mysteries of biological systems.
Proteomics, which in general terms involves using unbiased methodology to look at proteins and the entities with which they interact as ensembles (or unfractionated mixtures) rather than as individual molecules, clearly began to emerge in the '70s. The introduction of key mass spectrometric and array technologies greatly accelerated its development and the availability of genomic information aided it immensely. These enablers came rapidly to a head in the '90s, and thus the launch of MCP in the summer of 2001 was timely in helping usher in the era of proteomics.
As with any paradigm shift – and proteomics clearly qualifies for such a designation (1) – there were exaggerated hopes, promises and predictions for breakthroughs that would materially change our understanding of human biology and improve our existence and well-being. Not surprisingly, much of this has not come to pass, and proteomics has not yet proved to be quite the panacea that was predicted, for example, in revolutionizing the practice of human medicine.
But to focus on these apparent shortcomings is looking through a glass darkly and ignores the very considerable successes that have occurred. Among other major advances, we now appreciate the extent to which virtually all proteins interact with multiple partners and the fact that protein post-translational modifications are orders of magnitude more extensive than we ever realized. Such significant shifts in basic biological concepts rarely have occurred as quickly as those of the past several years and would not have been possible without proteomic technology. Practical applications also have not been neglected.
Detractors of proteomics are wont to point out that very few new diagnostics have come out of proteomic biomarker identification analyses. While that is true, it is more a failure of germane research and development programs than proteomics. Indeed, literally thousands of biomarkers have been reported for a host of pathologies (and many of these in MCP), but they await validation before they can reach the marketplace.
Validation, however, is not the role or job of proteomics, and proteomics should not be blamed for the painfully slow movement of potential therapeutics and diagnostics through the pipeline. It is far too early to know what the long-term contributions of proteomics will be, but it is a very pessimistic individual who does not think that those contributions will be considerable.
MCP was founded on the principle that it would be proactive in advancing this exciting field, and it has been good to its promise. From the outset, it focused on the quality of data submitted to it and over several years developed guidelines for reporting peptide and protein identifications using mass spectrometry and clinically relevant data to insure that this information was correct and reproducible. Both guidelines are viewed widely as the standards in the field.
Indeed, by a variety of metrics and peer recognition, MCP is arguably the leading journal in this area and is quite deserving of its position as one of the 100 most influential journals in biology (2). However, it is important to remember that the successes of the journal are the result of the efforts of a large number of people, starting with the associate editors and the members of the editorial board and including all the authors and scientists who have chosen to publish their outstanding work in the journal. The content of the journal is, in the final analysis, what dictates its quality. It has had 10 excellent years in this regard, and we look forward to the next decade and even better things.
As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, the editors of MCP are planning to introduce some new features and policies that we feel will not only maintain our tradition of excellence but also keep us fresh and innovative. One such feature is the introduction of MCP-sponsored lectures in germane meetings and symposia, which we initiated in August at the 10th International Symposium on Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences in San Francisco and continued in September at the 10th HUPO Annual World Congress in Geneva. The organizers of the meeting selected the lecturers in each case, and two of the leading practitioners of the proteomic art kicked off this program: Matthias Mann and Ruedi Aebersold.
Matthias Mann received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Gottingen and his doctoral degree from Yale University under the direction of John Fenn, who received the Nobel Prize for chemistry for the development of electrospray ionization (to which Mann contributed). Mann did postdoctoral work at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense with Peter Roepstorff and held a professorship at the same university subsequently.
In between these appointments, he was a group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. During his stay at that institution, he was instrumental in developing high-throughput protein identifications by mass spectrometry that were key to the advance of proteomics. In 2005, he became a director at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried (outside Munich), and he also holds an appointment at the University of Copenhagen.
Mann is an acknowledged leader and pioneer in the development of mass-spectrometric-based proteomics and has received numerous prizes and recognition for his extensive achievements. He and his co-workers have developed many important analytical techniques, including stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC labeling) (published in MCP) for quantifying MS data (3). He is particularly known for large-scale identifications of proteins and PTMs and the analysis of important complexes and samples of clinical significance. He has published more than 400 research articles (38 of which have appeared in MCP); he is also a member of the MCP editorial board. His keynote MCP lecture for the International Symposium on Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences was titled "Technology and Applications of Deep Proteome Sequencing" and covered new developments in mass-spectrometric-based technologies and how these improvements are placing proteomics on a par with genomics in terms of sample coverage.
Ruedi Aebersold received his formal training at the Biocenter at the University of Basel and did postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology with Lee Hood. He then held academic appointments at the University of British Columbia and the University of Washington, where he and his colleagues worked on a wide variety of proteins and made major contributions to their micro-characterization.
In 2000, Aebersold co-founded the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, which has been a leading proponent of the application of proteomic methods and techniques to understanding cell biology at an integrated level. In 2004, he returned to his native Switzerland as a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich and the University of Zurich to continue these efforts.
He was one of the earliest investigators to appreciate the importance and power of mass
spectrometry in analyzing peptide and protein samples and has been one of the pioneers in the use of this technology.
Aebersold also has received substantial recognition and numerous awards, including the ASBMB Herbert A. Sober Award in 2010, for his studies, responsibilities and associations. He serves on seven editorial boards and was one of the founding associate editors of MCP (and has published in the journal 50 of his more than 500 contributions). His lecture at the 10th HUPO Congress is titled "The Organization of the Proteome in Time and Space" and reflects his continued interest in expanding our appreciation of living systems by better understanding the dynamics of the proteome.
Both Mann and Aebersold are prominent members of a small cadre of innovators who have birthed the field of proteomics and are now driving its still largely undeveloped potential to ask (and answer) increasingly complex questions. They perfectly represent the power of mass spectrometry and related technologies to eventually make good on the early promises of proteomics (and the other omic sciences) to make significant inroads into the pressing problems associated with health, energy, food supply and the environment. As such, they are ideally suited to initiate the MCP lecture program. We look forward to this tradition continuing at other meetings and symposia.

Although it's the fourth documentary about the West Memphis Three, West of Memphis doesn't feel superfluous. This bizarre case rates at least 18 documentaries — one for each year Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley spent in prison for murders they clearly didn't commit.
Anybody who's seen one or more of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's three Paradise Lost films will know the basic story. In 1993, the bodies of three 8-year-old boys were found in a creek in Robin Hood Hills, a section of West Memphis, Ark. The police quickly decided that 18-year-old Echols, a heavy metal fan with loads of teenage attitude, was involved. Detectives also went after Echols' 16-year-old friend Baldwin, as well as the 17-year-old Misskelley, who was apparently not that close to the other boys.
It was Misskelley, characterized in this film as "borderline mentally retarded," who cracked under police interrogation. He signed a confession that was heavily prompted by investigators — much like the ones accepted by the suspects in a judicial travesty recently investigated by another documentary, The Central Park Five.
Because Echols had the adolescent metal fan's customary interest in the occult, the police presented the murders as satanic. The victims' genitalia had been mutilated, detectives claimed, during a demonic ritual. Many journalists accepted this characterization and some embellished it. Emotions were perilously high when the three suspects were found guilty in two 1994 trials. Echols was sentenced to death.
The evidence against the three teenagers began to wither immediately. By the time of 1996's Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, exoneration seemed imminent. Yet Arkansas held the trio for 15 more years. Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were released in August 2011, and only after entering an Alford plea — a concession that the case against them was strong.
It isn't. West of Memphis is an engrossing detective story, so it's best not to spoil the story by revealing exactly what was wrong with Arkansas' prosecution of the teenagers. But filmmaker Amy Berg's anti-indictment includes perjured testimony (later recanted), ignored alibis, absurd assumptions, incompetent forensic work and disregarded evidence that not only attests to the young men's innocence but also points toward another suspect.
This is the movie's most problematic aspect. The cinematic brief filed by Berg, who previously investigated a sexually abusive priest in the powerful Deliver Us from Evil, seems strong. But Paradise Lost 2: Revelations also compellingly singled out a possible perpetrator of the murders. That person is no longer considered a likely suspect.
The three's high-profile defenders have long been part of the story. The members of Metallica gave their aid (and music) to the Paradise Lost movies. Subsequently, Johnny Depp, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins and others have added their voices. Australian rockers Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (of Dirty Three) joined the movement by composing the West of Memphis score.
There's another significant Down Under connection: This documentary was co-produced by Lord of the Rings maestro Peter Jackson and his wife and collaborator, Fran Walsh. (Echols and Lorri Davis, the woman who married him behind bars in 1999, are also co-producers.)
If West of Memphis spends a great deal of time with the trio's advocates, that seems warranted. Without outside pressure, Baldwin and Misskelly would still be in prison, and Echols might well have been executed. Mara Leveritt, who wrote a book on the three, notes that they benefited from a "crowd-sourced investigation." It took way too long, but the crowd finally bested the mob. (Recommended)

Seems pretty clear to me that Jesus was the Lord of him and the God of him.
See, there's a funny thing about the greek language. When the Greeks talk about gods, they rarely (if ever) put a definite article in front of "theos," because they're polytheistic, and defining one of their gods as "the god" would elevate one as "the god." But when talking about the one true God of the Bible, except for a few exceptions where the grammar requires differently, God is written as "the God," or "ho theos."
For example, "TO AN UNKNOWN GOD," or "AGNOSTO THEO," is the inscription Paul mentions in Acts 17:23. Not "AGNOSTO HO THEO," because that would imply "the" God. When there's no definite article in front of a noun in Greek, it's like putting "a" or "an" in front of a noun in English. Paul, in verse 24, calls this "unknown god" of the Greeks "The God" in the very next verse. If this distinction was not here in the Bible, between the way the greek pagans spoke greek and the way believers in Christ spoke Greek, defining "ho theos" instead of just "theos," it would be very difficult to determine which "god" or "God" is being talked about.
The only sloppy translations here are yours. They need to improve.English translations are not proof of anything because they are sloppy. It needs to improve.
The Light. God.
What does John 1:1 say?
"And God was the Word." That's literally what it says.
So therefore "the Word" = "God" = "the Light" = "Him".
Who is the first chapter of John talking about?
The Word, The Light, Jesus Christ.
The passage is not talking about a "word." The passage is talking about the "Word."to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." This logos not the logos of the hebrew name YHWH.
Just so we're on the same page, Trinitarians believe the Word (logos) in John 1:1 is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is God. Not "a" word. "The" Word.Anything else would be idolatry.
Let's stay away from fallacious arguments, like the argument from incredulity.They rarely do that because they are talking about a specific god. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I'm giving you the literal translation of "AGNOSTO THEO." Why are you trying to say it doesn't say what it says?"To the unnoticed one the god". Even your example is unconvincing.
AGNOSTO THEO" literally translated means "unknown god," which in English translates to "to an unknown god." There's no definite article there. Please stop adding to scripture.
Seems to me you don't know what the nominative case is.
Perhaps you should just look at the image I am providing. Koine Greek was the language the New Testament was originally written in, no?
So then why can't you accept what it literally says?
How about instead of making baseless accusations, you provide an argument for your case.You need to consider that you are an idolator.

The word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible.
It is a word that describes theology.
First came Jesus and next came mens theology that sought to develop a meaning that was overlaid on Jesus words amd deeds.
Plus, the idea of a Trinity negates the foundational Jewish idea of monotheism.
And?It is a word that describes theology.
So therefore.... something.First came Jesus and next came mens theology that sought to develop a meaning that was overlaid on Jesus words and deeds.
Please explain how.Plus, the idea of a Trinity negates the foundational Jewish idea of monotheism.
Right Divider (January 24th, 2019)
"Please try a rebuttal against our actual argument."
The Bible calls God an old woman giving birth, a storm cloud, a mountain, a potter, an eagle.
Everyone uses metaphoric language when describing the holy or the sacred.
So nothing is preventing you from believing that "the Trinity" describes God.
The theology of the Trinity indicates God is some sort of divine trio. Not the One God that Judaism believes in.
And again, the word Trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible.

In the last decade, behavioral scientists concluded that their field had taken a wrong turn. Efforts to root out false findings and bad practices spurred a crisis now poised to transform the landscape of psychology. Psychology Today profiles four scientists who are leading the charge.
"[Pre-registration] is really gratifying. It's frustrating, too, because you realize how hard science is," Michael Inzlicht says. "There are a lot of null results out there. I've got a lot of bad ideas, it turns out. But because I want the results I publish to lean toward the truth, I'm happy with that."
The Independent covers a new paper from the lab examining empathy's intrinsic costs. Our study suggests that people avoid feeling empathy because they think it requires too much mental effort. Defined as the ability to understand the feelings of another person, empathy can facilitate positive social or helpful behaviours in an individual. However, our research suggests that people often don't want to feel empathy, even if the feelings it produces are positive.
This is the greatest mystery of my adult life: How can I spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted? How could merely activating the small muscles of my fingers leave me craving the couch at the end of the day? This question actually lies very close to one of the more hotly contested issues in psychology: What causes mental fatigue? Why is desk work so depleting? "It is kind of a mystery, to be honest," says Michael Inzlicht, a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self-control, motivation, and fatigue.

Virgin Mobile has announced it will sell the Sony Xperia SP Android phone in Australia. The device is available online and at Virgin Mobile stores across the country.
Announced globally in March, the Xperia SP is the Sony's latest mid-range smartphone. It boasts an aluminium frame, a 4.6in screen and 4G connectivity.
Virgin Mobile will sell the device on five contract plans over 24 months, ranging from a $5 per month handset repayment on the Big Plan $29 ($34 per month), to no handset repayments on the $89 Topless plan.
The hero plan appears to be $0 on the Virgin Big Plan $39. This plan includes $450 worth of calls, SMS and MMS and 1GB of data per month.
The Sony Xperia SP doesn't require any monthly handset repayments on Virgin's $49 and $59 Big Plans.
The highlight of the Xperia SP is a 4.6in 720p HD display with a resolution of 1280x720. The screen uses Sony's Reality Display and Mobile Bravia engine technology, claiming to enhance sharpness, contrast and colour saturation of photos and videos while also minimising digital image noise.
Sony claims the Xperia SP uses a "precision-crafted co-moulded aluminium frame" and a physical camera shutter key is a nice inclusion for those who use the camera regularly.
A transparent panel below the screen displays customisable notifications and users can personalise these notification lights to alert of incoming calls and text messages.
The Xperia SP is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, has 1GB of RAM and includes 8GB of internal memory. A microSD card allows the memory to be expanded and there's also built-in NFC connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera.
The Xperia SP is available in black, metallic red and metallic white variants but Virgin Mobile appears to be selling the black model only.
A promotional video of the Xperia SP can be viewed below.

Safely Storing Fresh Seafood
To store fresh seafood that you've bought for sushi, you must follow some storage guidelines. All fresh seafood needs to be stored chilled — either in a refrigerator, freezer, or container of ice — to keep it tasty and safe for you to eat:
When you get your raw fish home, here's what do to:
Immediately put the fish in the coldest part of your refrigerator (usually the bottom portion) until you serve it. Don't stack anything on top of the fish.
Handle the fish as little and as gently as possible to prevent smashing or bruising the flesh.
Quickly rinse blocks of fish and fillets in a bowl of lightly salted cold water (2 teaspoons salt to 5 cups ice cold water) just before preparing it to eat. Pat it dry with paper towels.
These tips can keep shellfish safe until serving time:
As soon as you get live or shucked shellfish home, refrigerate them until just before you prepare them.
Live shellfish need air. Keep them in the refrigerator in a open dish or bowl covered with damp paper towels. It's best to eat shellfish the day they're purchased.
Scrub oysters, clams, and mussels just before preparing to eat them, until their shells are clean. Mussels often have filament, called a beard, hanging out. Pull it off.
If any mussels, clams, or oysters fail to shut when tapped, they're dead, so throw them out. Similarly, if any shells are still closed after you cook them, throw them out.
Shucked scallops that you plan to eat raw should be eaten the day they're purchased.

We are looking for a website that firstly has a front page where people will come. This page will give the visitor the option of either going to the Hairdressing pages or to the Beauty Therapy pages.

Hello Fellow Block Swappers...
There has been some inquiries as to whether pictures of the blocks would be posted. This is a great idea, although having 12 people in each group post pictures of 12 blocks will make for a very long thread.
Instead, once the birthday Ladies have received their blocks and have put them together, a picture of the completed tops be posted so everyone can see them. :) This way, every month there will be birthday quilts posted. I think doing it this way, not just the members of the swap, but everyone in the group is involved. :) Kind of like having our own little quilt show! :) :)
Have a great day and happy quilting. :)

During a keynote presentation at the Consumer Electronics CEO Marissa Mayer announced several new products, including a planned line of digital magazines, starting with Yahoo Food. A similar product is in the works for Yahoo Tech, which is being helmed by former New York Times columnist David Pogue. Mayer also used her CES keynote to unveil Yahoo News Digest, a twice daily mobile news product that aggregates and synthesizes news from across the Web. Yahoo News Digest incorporates technology from the mobile startup Summly, which it acquired last year. "We've all had that experience with articles that are TLDR," said Mayer. "Too long, didn't read." The idea behind Digest, which includes some gamification elements, is to help mobile users become better informed in short bursts of time. Mayer also annoucned that Yahoo has acquired Aviate, a company that helps users organize apps on their mobile devices. Lastly, Mayer used the CES platform to reveal a major overhaul of its ads business, including plans to take on Google, AOL and others in the battle to control the ad tech space.

This past Saturday, brave souls flocked to the roof of Gizmodo HQ with a singular mission in mind: to eat, drink, laugh, and fire enormous streams of water at one another at close range. It was a total blast.
For many of us, it was probably the first time we'd run around shooting water guns since we were kids—and we felt like we were again! I've never seen so many grown, respectable people grinning like tykes and dripping water from every inch. I was sprayed in the crotch repeatedly, nailed by crossfire from the Hydro Cannon and the Tornado Strike. But that's okay! It was all in the name of good, clean fun. I was also shockingly intoxicated.
Many large, soggy thanks to Nerf for the Super Soakers and Heinz for their deliciously convenient ketchup dippers—and of course, everyone who came by. We loved shooting you in the face.

Update: Info has been released on when exactly we'll see the first episode of the Saga released in 2012. See below for details.
Talk about inevitable...
After much speculation pointing to this conclusion, we're finally hearing official word that the entire Star Wars Saga from Phantom Menace right through to Return of the Jedi is getting the 3D treatment. Heat Vision reports that George Lucas is officially planning the re-release of all six Star Wars movies in 3D starting with Phantom Menace in 2012. That obviously means Lucas is going the route of releasing them in chronological order as opposed to the order in which they were originally released. If Phantom Menace's 3D release does well at the box office (I'd be shocked if it didn't) the plan is to release each movie after Phantom Menace on the exact same date every year to keep things consistent. But the math whizzes among you will have worked out that means we won't get to "the original trilogy" until 2015 with Return of the Jedi concluding things in 2017. I'm betting a lot of you wish they would re-release the movies in their original order, huh? The prequel trilogy isn't exactly cherished... Unsurprisingly, Lucas has been spurred on by James Cameron's Avatar and specifically the way that movie utilized 3D. Obviously the Star Wars movies will have to be converted to 3D, but fans can take some comfort in the fact that, "each conversion takes at least a year to complete, with Lucas personally overseeing the process to make sure each one is as perfected as possible." This certainly doesn't sound like it'll be the rushed post-conversion 3D job that Clash of the Titans was.
If you're wondering why it's taken Lucas this long to get moving with Star Wars in 3D, he purportedly was waiting for there to be enough 3D screens for it to be as big an event as possible. Obviously Lucas wants the re-releases to launch with a bang, not a whimper...
Also being talked about is how the six movies can make their way to the home market in 3D. With state-of-the-art 3D televisions now on their way to becoming widely available (although still very expensive) we could see the Star Wars Saga being released in 3D on DVD/Blu-ray by the time the theatrical re-releases are over with.
The question now is whether or not Star Wars will benefit greatly from 3D. Well, they're certainly the types of movies that are prime for that extra dimension and part of me would love to see some of those classic sequences in 3D. However, with it being a 3D conversion job I am very wary about the quality of the conversion. Lucas saying he'll oversee the process is reassuring but it's not exactly a guarantee it'll turn out well, now is it?
Update: The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that we can expect to see the first of the Star Wars 3D re-releases, The Phantom Menace, hit theaters in February of 2012. There's no exact day in February officially set but sources are saying itll be around Valentines Day. It's speculated that it could be either Wednesday February 15th or Friday February 17th. The only competition around those dates would be Ghost Rider 2, which is released on February 17th, 2012 (also in 3D).
Lucas and Co. are aiming for early 2012 because it would allow the movie to have "an open run at the box office" (read: more time in that year to make even more money) and also for them to release subsequent merchandise throughout the rest of the year.
Depending on how The Phantom Menace 3D performs, the rest of the Saga would likely be released on similar days in each consecutive year. However, it's also noted that if it doesn't perform (at least well as hoped/expected) the release dates for each of the rest of the films could be changed for the subsequent years (a summer release for each would maybe make more sense, no?).
As stated, Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace will likely be re-released in 3D in February 2012, with the rest of the Saga following in each consecutive year. Source: The Hollywood Reporter (Header image source: Zoltan Simon)

Heinrich Boll
Böll, Heinrich
Heinrich Böll (hīn´rĬkh böl), 1917–85, German novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. Böll presents a critical, antimilitarist view of modern society in a collection of masterful short stories, Wanderer, kommst du nach Spa· · · (1950; tr. Traveller, If You Come to Spa…, 1956), and the novels Wo warst du, Adam? (1951; tr. Adam, Where Art Thou?, 1955) and Billard um halb zehn (1959; tr. Billiards at Half Past Nine, 1961). Humanity's excesses and its inability to alter his destiny are among Böll's principal concerns in the narratives Und sagte kein einziges Wort (1953; tr. Acquainted with the Night, 1954), Haus ohne Hüter (1954; tr. Tomorrow and Yesterday, 1957), Ansichten eines Clowns (1963; tr. The Clown, 1965), and Entfernung von der Truppe (1964; tr. Absent without Leave, 1965). Many of Böll's works present his critical reflections on Catholicism, the church, and contemporary German society. Among his other notable works are a collection of travel essays, Irish Journal (tr. 1967); the novel Gruppenbild mit Dame (1971; tr. Group Portrait with Lady, 1973); two English anthologies, Eighteen Stories (1966) and Children Are Civilians Too (1970); and formerly unpublished stories, Der blasse Hund (1995; tr. The Mad Dog, 1997). Böll won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1972.

TILTED GRILL Casual Steak and Street Food
TILTED GRILL Casual Steak and Street Food is a 230 seat restaurant in a $4M renovation. It will be the first meeting place in our city to feature a menu of Street Foods from around the globe as well a fully complemented steak menu in an informal setting. Street Food is a concept and staple existing the world over but has recently taken a prominent place in many North American markets where a "Lunch Truck" craze has taken hold. Driven by patron expectations the "Street Food" menu will evolve to include "best thing I ever ate " selections that may be used seasonally, as a featured item, or as a core item on the Tilted Grill menu.
Tilted Grill comes for the fact roadside cooking surfaces are rarely even and more so we are re-imagining what a grill should be by taking out "slate" on the value proposition.
The restaurant is on one of the busiest street in one of the largest cities in Canada. The space is filled with organic materials (stone, brick, wood, metals) and the focus will be on community. The social commentary we provide is predicated on building a value proposition based off of patron expectations...we must exude STYLE, WARMTH, COOL, HIP & WELCOMING.

With the 2010 US tornado season in full swing, scientists are diving into a treasure trove of data gathered during VORTEX 2 – the largest tornado research project ever undertaken.
The ultimate goal of the project, which ended last week, is to increase warning times while reducing the false-alarm rate, says Joshua Wurman, president of the non-profit Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder, Colo., and one of the project's lead scientists.
"Right now, we have an average 13-minute warning with a 70 percent false-alarm rate," Dr. Wurman says. "If VORTEX 2 can get us up to 15 or 18 minutes, that's still a substantial improvement. That's a lot of extra time for people to seek shelter. And if you can get the false alarm rate down to 60 percent or 50 percent, people will have a lot more confidence that when a warning is issued, it really means business."
At a cursory level, it might seem as though the main beneficiaries of advanced warnings are people who live in "tornado alley," a broad swath of the Great Plains that runs north from central Texas into eastern South Dakota and western Iowa.
Data on tornado locations gathered between 1953 and 2004 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climate Data Center in Asheville, N.C., however, show that every state and territory save for Alaska and Puerto Rico has experienced twisters.
On Sunday, for instance, Billings, Mont., took a direct hit from a tornado that destroyed a vacant arena that the day before held 7,000 people watching an Indoor Football League game, according to press reports. Several commercial buildings were flattened. For all the damage, estimated in the millions of dollars, no casualties have been reported.
The tornado appeared so suddenly that the local National Weather Service reportedly issued its warning shortly after local storm spotters called in the twister. On average, the state experiences seven tornadoes a year.
This year alone, tornadoes have appeared as far outside of tornado alley as California, Washington, the Carolinas, and the Bahamas. Earlier this month, preliminary reports indicate tornadoes touched down in northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
"Tornadic activity takes place in far more places than many people realize," says Anthony Del Genio, a researcher at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.
Indeed, while the United States carries the dubious distinction of being the tornado capital of the world – with tornado alley as the Capitol rotunda – researchers have identified a range of tornadically active regions in the world. Southern Africa, where some researchers argue the most intense thunderstorms on the planet occur, is on the list, as are Australia, China, and portions of southern Argentina.
At least two major ingredients are needed to form the powerful "supercell" thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes: warm, moist air at the surface, and a dramatic change in wind speed or direction at higher altitudes.
As the warm air rises into colder air masses, its moisture condenses into water droplets and ice crystals that form towering thunderheads.
Meanwhile the difference in wind direction or speed sets up a rolling mass of air at the boundary between the moving layers – a bit like rolling a paper-towel tube between two hands.
If the rising air from the building storm cloud moves through this vortex, the updraft in effect stands the vortex on its end, imparting rotation to the whole storm cloud.
That sets up the environment in which tornadoes can form.
From there, things get tricky. One of the enduring questions scientists have been trying to answer is why some of these severe thunderstorms generate tornadoes and others don't.
One of the lessons from the VORTEX 1 tornado study, which took place 15 years ago, was that the problem of understanding tornado formation "was a lot harder than we thought" going into the project, says Wurman, who also participated in VORTEX 1.
He points to storm-cloud rotation as an example. "There were a lot of supercells that had rotation at mid levels and even low levels, but a lot of them still didn't make tornadoes."
On the other hand, the researchers encountered what might be called the Goldilocks benchmark for the kind of cloud temperatures that encourage tornado formation.
The scientists knew that cold temperatures in the clouds were important for a tornado to form, but the team found that storms were more likely to be too cold to form tornadoes than earlier modeling studies suggested, says Harold Brooks, a researcher at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla.
"Cold air is still important," he says. "But it's real easy for storms to be too cold."
Those cloud temperatures could then be factored into decisions on whether to issue tornado watches as a severe thunderstorm approached.
After that trait appeared, "there were some storms that weren't warned on that might have been warned on before," he says.
VORTEX 2, which took place in May and June of 2009, and again in May and June of this year, has also turned up some interesting traits in storms that generated tornadoes. But it's too early to tell whether the common traits are important or merely coincidence, Wurman says.
With the project just ended, "my team is basically spending this week inventorying the many terabytes of data that just my group has. We're making sure we have back-ups, we have all the data, we haven't left something on a thumb drive somewhere," he says.
Questions of which storms are most likely to generate tornadoes have also worked their way into discussions of global warming's potential effect on the formation of severe thunderstorms over the US.
Three years ago, Dr. Del Genio and colleagues at the GISS modeled the potential effect of temperature and moisture increases that could result if carbon dioxide concentrations reach twice preindustrial levels.
The results suggest that while the number of severe storms is unlikely to change, the proportion of the most severe storms could increase.
Last year, a team led by Robert Trapp, a climate scientist at Purdue University, found via a modeling exercise that the number of severe storms is likely to increase in the US under so-called business-as-usual carbon-dioxide emissions scenarios. But the increase varies by region.
Neither study says anything about tornadoes, which appear on scales too small for models to simulate – and based on field studies so far, they grow out of fewer supercell thunderstorms than scientists once thought.
From a climatological perspective, "there is not yet observational evidence that tornadoes have increased in the United States over the 20tH century," Del Genio cautions.
Tornado reports themselves have increased dramatically over that period, he notes, but that spike can be attributed to improved detection and more people moving into areas where tornadoes once spun harmlessly, he says.
Moreover, he says, trends show a decrease over time in the number of the most severe tornadoes.

A nationwide undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood by the pro-life activist group Live Action revealed that the tax-subsidized abortion behemoth and lobbying group willingly participates in and facilitates what is known as "gendercide" — the deliberate extermination of children due solely to their gender. And while the sex-discrimination problem in abortions is generally associated with countries such as China and India, evidence released by the activists on May 29 further exposed the fact that it has increasingly reared its head in America, all with the help of taxpayer subsidies.
In the first video (bottom of page) of the "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America" series — filmed undercover at an Austin, Texas, Planned Parenthood abortion clinic — the organization's counselor has a long conversation with a Live Action investigator posing as a client. The woman, known only as "Rebecca" in the film, tells the undercover activist all about how to find out whether the child she is carrying is a boy or a girl — even while believing that if the baby is female, the "client" intends to kill it.
Incredibly, the Planned Parenthood agent even recommends deceiving doctors into participating in the ghastly scheme by omitting the truth about why an ultrasound is desired. The counselor also gladly explains how to abuse the Medicaid system to make taxpayers pay for the gender-identification process — all along thinking to herself that the client wanted to know to potentially obtain a sex-selective abortion.
"I see that you're saying that you want to terminate if it's a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?" the counselor asks. "The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks, so it's a little over five months — a little — and usually at five months is usually [sic] when they detect, you know, whether or not it's a boy or a girl."
Of course, by that point, babies often survive outside of the womb with help from modern technology. And according to doctors cited by Live Action, later-term abortions also carry greater risks to the mother. The counselor omitted both of those points, it seems, though she did note that the baby's brain would be well-developed by that time and that doctors might feel uncomfortable killing it. Before the video ends, the counselor smiles and tells the investigator to just "try again" if the baby turns out to be female and ends up being killed.
"The search-and-destroy targeting of baby girls through prenatal testing and abortion is a pandemic that is spreading across the globe," Live Action founder and President Lila Rose said in a statement. "Research proves that sex-selective abortion has now come to America. The abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, is a willing participant."
Around the world, an estimated 100 million girls are missing from the global population due to gendercide. In places such as China, where the communist regime brutally enforces its infamous "one-child policy," girls are often targeted for abortion or infanticide because of cultural traditions favoring males. India has witnessed a similar problem as families seek to have more boys.
Studies show that in the United States thousands of girls are already missing due to gendercide as well. And with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year, Planned Parenthood — the largest abortion provider in America known for vicious lobbying and litigation efforts ensuring continued government support — is at least partially to blame, according to Live Action.
"Planned Parenthood and their ruthless abortion-first mentality is the real 'war on women'," Rose explained, using the phrase adopted by demagogues seeking to force taxpayers and churches to fund contraception. "Sex-selective abortion is gender discrimination with lethal consequences for little girls." According to Rose, the video from Austin is just the first in a series of undercover investigations examining Planned Parenthood's role in gendercide nationwide.
To advance the protection of female babies, Live Action also formed a campaign dubbed "Protect Our Girls." The group partnered with a broad coalition including Americans United for Life, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, The Lozier Institute, Susan B. Anthony List, Students for Life of America, and Women's Rights Without Frontiers.
Before the first video was released, the abortion giant began to suspect that it was being targeted in yet another sting operation. So, in April, it attempted to preempt the negative publicity by releasing a statement denying its support for or participation in gendercide while condemning pro-life advocates and their efforts.
"Planned Parenthood does not offer sex determination services; our ultrasound services are limited to medical purposes," claimed the organization's education vice president Leslie Kantor and senior medical adviser Carolyn Westhoff in a piece for the pro-abortion propaganda site RH Reality Check. "As a women's rights advocate for nearly 100 years, Planned Parenthood finds the concept of sex selection deeply unsettling."
The Planned Parenthood officials also blasted pro-life activists, claiming that operations aimed at exposing the tax-subsidized abortion industry and its tactics were actually an effort to restrict access to "basic reproductive health care" and birth control. They also implausibly tried to frame the undercover investigation as an attack on health care and women's rights.
"Gender bias is contrary to everything our organization works for daily in communities across the country. Planned Parenthood opposes racism and sexism in all forms, and we work to advance equity and human rights in the delivery of health care," the duo continued without noting that the organization was founded by a virulent racist, Margaret Sanger, who sought to exterminate blacks as, in her words, "human weeds."
"Planned Parenthood condemns sex selection motivated by gender bias, and urges leaders to challenge the underlying conditions that lead to these beliefs and practices, including addressing the social, legal, economic, and political conditions that promote gender bias and lead some to value one gender over the other," they added.
Of course, the most recent Live Action investigation is hardly the first time Planned Parenthood's true nature has been exposed by the youthful pro-life organization. Past investigations by Live Action have revealed blatant criminal activity, widespread deception, willingness to support and conceal child sex slavery, and much more. And the pro-life activism campaign has had a significant impact.
More and more state governments, for example, are seeking to stop forcing taxpayers to subsidize the abortion group and its schemes. The Obama administration has threatened to cut off federal funding to the poor in states that refuse to fund Planned Parenthood in an apparently desperate effort to preserve tax dollars for the abortion giant. But the backlash is growing stronger every day, and analysts say it is not going away.
The abortion organization, of course, claims it does not use public funds for abortion, which would technically be illegal. But critics say that, because money is fungible, any tax money spent promoting promiscuity or handing out condoms to teenagers simply allows Planned Parenthood to save more private dollars for abortions — by far the largest and most lucrative segment of its business.
Meanwhile, tax funding issues aside, polls show that most Americans now support restricting abortion in all or most cases. But as long as Planned Parenthood is able to extract the wealth of those same pro-lifers to fund its sinister agenda, the battle to stop abortion and the inevitable gendercide will likely continue to rage on.

Constructive realism is a branch of philosophy, specifically the philosophy of science. It was developed in the late 1980s by Friedrich Wallner (also Fritz Wallner) in Vienna. In his paper abstract on constructive realism, Wallner describes it as follows:
- "Traditional convictions regarding science (such as universalism, necessity and eternal validity) are currently in doubt. Relativism seems to destroy scientific claims to rationality. This paper shows a way to keep the traditional convictions of scientific knowledge while acknowledging relativism. With reference to the practicing scientist, we replace descriptivism with constructivism; we modify relative validity with the claim to understanding; and, we offer methodological strategies for acquiring understanding. These strategies we call strangification, which means taking a scientific proposition system out of its context and putting it in another context. We can thus see the implicit presuppositions of the given proposition system by means of the problems arising out of the application of this procedure. Such a change in the understanding of science holds important consequences."
