A while back I posted about using the Canon Photoprint software or letting the printer manage the colour to get accurate (or less red) prints from the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 series. Those solutions were cheap. This one is not but I think it is worth the investment if you want accurate prints (and an accurate display for that matter).
X-rite makes the Color Munki Photo system. I call it a system, they don't but it really does work that way. Color Munki provides three key services. First, it creates a calibration for your monitor. Second it creates an ICC profile for the paper of your choice on your printer. Third it allows you to match your display profile with your printer profile.
There are many display profilers out there. Most want you to adjust brightness and contrast before starting but many displays give you very limited control over these settings. Most use some kind of colour banding and intelligent eye to create a display profile. I used the Huey Pro for years and it was pretty good, except I could never get my Dell 30" display to match my Dell 24" display which was really annoying because they are side by side. I lived with it but was mostly unhappy with the difference between what I saw on the screen and what came back from the lab. The Color Munki takes things a step further by doing colorimetry. The very first time I ran the display calibration, both monitors resulted in identical representations of the same image. Finally I was seeing what I would get from a professional printer and I was also seeing the same thing on the two displays. The process is fast, incredibly simple and as I calibrate my displays every two weeks, extraordinarily consistent. I noticed a very sharp difference between the Huey Pro calibrations and the Color Munki calibrations. Color Munki for the win!
To really get the best out of your printer, inks and papers, you need a proper profile. Paper vendors provide ICC profiles for their paper that you can download and while it looks like a pain to do this for every paper you might use, it's a big part of getting an amazing image. Most of the pros I talk to who do print themselves prefer the Epson printers. The images are incredible, but my own experience is that the print head clogs up if you aren't using it all the time, cleaning it is very difficult and involves disassembly and may not help. After dumpstering an Epson R1800 because its head was clogged and discovering loads of complaints about even the current devices, I went Canon.
I started with the Pixma Pro 9000. When two of my cameras were stolen and I had to replace them, I took advantage of Canon rebate programs and got a 9000 Mk II and a 9500 Mk II. The difference is substantial. The 9000 Mk II prints very quickly and uses dye based inks. The 9500 Mk II takes much longer to produce output and uses pigment based inks called LUCIA. It has more ink tanks and is ideal for archive quality black and white images. That's not to say that the 9000 Mk II doesn't do a good job on black and white but the 9500 Mk II really is a rock star in this regard.
If I use only Canon ink and Canon paper, I can let the printer manage colour and get pretty darn good output. But I wanted to use different papers and whenever I let Colorsync on the Mac manage colour, my prints would be too red even with the vendor supplied ICC profile. As you can imagine, this ticked me off something fierce. Bring on the Color Munki.
The creation of a printer profile is not quick and consumes two sheets of the paper you want to build a profile for. The first pass the software produces a series of stripes (see figure) that you then scan over with the Color Munki colorimeter. It then constructs a second special print page that you print and scan as in the first step. Once complete you have a custom profile for your printer and that particular paper type.
To see if it actually made a difference I took the same image and made three prints on the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mk II. Image #1 was printed from Adobe Lightroom and I let the printer manage colour, printing on Canon Glossy Photo Paper. It was a nice print. Image #2 was printed from Adobe Lightroom and I used the paper profile supplied by Canon and let Colorsync manage the colour. Colorsync is the profile manager in OS X on the Macintosh. I don't do Windows but I am sure that there is a similar ICC service on that platform. The image was sharp but WAY too red. Absolute crap. Image #3 was printed from Adobe Lightroom using the ICC profile created by Color Munki for that same paper on that printer. The image was awesome. It looked better overall than letting the printer manage colour by enough of an edge that I would do things this way always. and so much better than what image 2 looked like, you would swear someone has spilled red ink all over the second image in comparison.
I'm not alone in finding issues letting Colorsync manage colour on Canon Pixma Pro printers. Plenty of complaints on the internets. For me, that problem is now solved. I've built profiles for Ilford Pearl and Hahnemulle Rag and love the output. Inkpress advises to use the Canon profiles and their metallic gloss is stunning using the Color Munki profile.
You get what you see. Nuff said.
The Color Munki Photo was not cheap, in the $500 range. If you don't need or want to calibrate your printer (you like the images you get, and using ICC profiles doesn't give you junk) maybe it's overkill for you. If you want want display profiling there are less expensive alternatives but having owned the Huey Pro and tried a friend's Spyder 3, I think that I would go Color Munki regardless. If you do want to make your own profiles for your paper and your printer, the Color Munki is the tool you want and need.
I recommend it highly and also recommend other tools from x-rite like the Color Checker Passport. My prints are beautiful and accurately represent what I get out of my editing tools. One of the side benefits is that instead of thousands of images languishing on the hard drives or in a web portfolio, some of them also now reside on my walls and in the homes of friends and family. My buddy Bryan told me that he heard over 95% of photographers never print anything. I think that's a shame and nothing encourages you to print your photographs like a great print.

Trump invokes the Defense Production Act to step up production of ventilators

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has invoked the Defense Production Act, requiring at least six national companies to produce ventilators to help combat illnesses related to COVID-19.
Thursday's announcement comes as a model, which is guiding the White House's decision making, suggests many states will reach ICU capacity in the coming days.
According to the "Chris Murray Model" compiled by the IHME, nearly 32,000 ventilators will be needed during the peak of COVID-19, which is projected to come in the middle of April.
"Today, I have issued an order under the Defense Production Act to more fully ensure that domestic manufacturers can produce ventilators needed to save American lives," Trump's wrote in his executive order. "My order to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Homeland Security will help domestic manufacturers like General Electric, Hill-Rom, Medtronic, ResMed, Royal Philips, and Vyaire Medical secure the supplies they need to build ventilators needed to defeat the virus.
"I am grateful to these and other domestic manufacturers for ramping up their production of ventilators during this difficult time. Today's order will save lives by removing obstacles in the supply chain that threaten the rapid production of ventilators."
But where Trump will send these ventilators is up for debate. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his state could need up to 30,000 ventilators.
"At the current burn rate, we have about six days of ventilators in our stockpile," Cuomo said on Thursday. "Meaning if the rate of usage, the rate of people coming into hospitals who need ventilators if that rate continues, in our stockpile, we have about six days. Now, if the apex happens within that timeframe, if the apex increase, if the apex is longer, we have an issue with ventilators."
Trump has disagreed that some states need as many ventilators as requested.
"We can't take them to places that aren't needing them," Trump said on Tuesday. "Plus, we have requests for ventilators in hospitals and in states and cities that don't need them, in our opinion. They don't need them. They won't need them at the top."
The Chris Murray Model projects that New York will need up to 14,000 ventilators by next week.

The 2020 NXT TakeOver: In Your House was the 29th NXT TakeOver, the 28th In Your House, and the inaugural NXT In Your House professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network on June 7, 2020. While the majority of the event aired live from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, the Backlot Brawl match was pre-recorded on May 28 in the parking lot of Full Sail.

The event marked the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House pay-per-view event. It was also the first In Your House branded event since February 1999, thus being the first In Your House to air on the WWE Network. It was also the first TakeOver event to be held at Full Sail University since TakeOver: The End in June 2016. That event had been promoted as the final TakeOver to be held at Full Sail; however, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated all of NXT's events to be held here behind closed doors until NXT's events were relocated to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando in October. As a result, it was the first TakeOver to be held during the pandemic.

Six matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Io Shirai defeated defending champion Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match to win the NXT Women's Championship. On the undercard, Karrion Kross defeated Tommaso Ciampa by technical submission, Keith Lee defeated Johnny Gargano to retain the NXT North American Championship, and Adam Cole defeated Velveteen Dream in a Last Chance Backlot Brawl to retain the NXT Championship, which was a cinematic match.

Production

Background
TakeOver was a series of professional wrestling shows that began in May 2014, as WWE's NXT brand held their second WWE Network-exclusive event, billed as TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials. On May 13, 2020, for the 25th anniversary of the first In Your House pay-per-view (PPV), WWE announced that they had revived the In Your House name for their June 7, 2020, TakeOver event, which would be the 29th NXT TakeOver event.

In Your House was a series of monthly PPV shows that were held by the then-World Wrestling Federation (WWF, renamed to WWE in 2002) from May 1995 to February 1999. They aired when the promotion was not holding one of its then-five major PPVs (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble), and were sold at a lower cost. The branding was retired following February 1999's St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly PPVs. TakeOver: In Your House marked the first In Your House-branded event in 21 years and subsequently the 28th event to carry the name. It was in turn the first In Your House to air on the WWE Network.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that began affecting the industry in mid-March, WWE had to present the majority of its programming from a behind closed doors set. Broadcasts of NXT were subsequently held at NXT's home base of Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. The pandemic also forced the cancelation of the previously scheduled TakeOver event, TakeOver: Tampa Bay. In Your House was subsequently scheduled to be held at Full Sail University, marking the first TakeOver event to take place during the pandemic, as well as the first TakeOver event to be hosted at Full Sail since TakeOver: The End in June 2016. While the majority of the event aired live on June 7, 2020, the Backlot Brawl match was pre-recorded on May 28 as a cinematic match.

Storylines

The card included six matches. Storylines were produced on their weekly television program, NXT.

On the April 15 episode of NXT, after Tommaso Ciampa admitted that Johnny Gargano was the better man following their One Final Beat match the previous week, he was attacked backstage by the debuting Karrion Kross. After Kross' match on the May 20 episode, Ciampa challenged Kross to a match at TakeOver: In Your House.

During WrestleMania 36 Part 2, Charlotte Flair defeated Rhea Ripley by submission to win the NXT Women's Championship. On the following episode of NXT, Io Shirai won a six-woman ladder match to earn a championship match against Flair, which Shirai won by disqualification on the May 6 episode after which, Ripley returned and saved Shirai. On the May 20 episode, the match between Shirai and Ripley ended in a no-contest when Flair attacked both. A triple threat match between the three women was then scheduled for TakeOver: In Your House.

Event

Preliminary matches
The event opened with Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, and Shotzi Blackheart facing the team of Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, and Raquel González. In the climax, Nox performed the Shiniest Wizard on both Gonzalez and Kai, followed by Nox pinning Kai to win the match.

Next, Finn Bálor faced Damian Priest. During Bálor's entrance, Priest threw Bálor out of the ring. In the climax, Bálor knocked Priest, who was poised atop a turnbuckle, onto the steel steps. As Priest came back in the ring, Bálor performed two Coup de Grâces on Priest to win the match.

After that, Keith Lee defended the NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano. Late in the match, Gargano's wife Candice LeRae emerged to distract Lee; however, Mia Yim came out and brawled with LeRae. This distracted the referee and Gargano took advantage of the situation and gouged Lee's eyes with a key. Gargano performed One Final Beat and a superkick on Lee for a near-fall. In the closing moments, Lee performed a Spirit Bomb and a Big Bang Catastrophe on Gargano to retain the title.

Next was the Last Chance Backlot Brawl in which Adam Cole defended the NXT Championship against Velveteen Dream. The match occurred in the parking lot of Full Sail University with a wrestling ring set up surrounded by cars; the match could only be won by a pinfall or submission in the ring. Dream got three roll-ups to start the match, but then Cole came back with a boot to the face followed by punches. Stating that Dream did not deserve the title, Cole got in a car and attempted to leave, but Dream went after him with a baseball bat and smashed in a window. Later, Dream slammed Cole onto the hood of a car. Dream brought a ladder around the ringside area. Dream set up the ladder by the hood of the car that Cole was lying on. As Dream climbed the ladder, another car drove up and began honking. Cole's Undisputed Era teammates Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish then emerged from the car. Cole also ascended the ladder but was knocked off by Dream and landed onto the windshield, causing Cole's right arm to bleed. Strong and Fish then attacked Dream. Strong and Fish then threw several chairs into the ring. Dexter Lumis would then show up from under the ring and beat up Strong and Fish with a steel chair and threw Strong and Fish in the trunk of a car and drove off. In the ring, Cole attempted a Panama Sunrise, but Dream caught him and hit the Dream Valley Driver for a two count. Dream then hit a diving elbow from the top rope for another nearfall. Cole then hit a low blow on Dream and followed with a Panama Sunrise onto the steel chairs to win and retain the title. Due to the stipulation of the match, Dream could no longer challenge for the NXT Championship as long as Cole was champion.

In the penultimate match, Tommaso Ciampa faced Karrion Kross who was accompanied to the ring by Scarlett. Ciampa struck with hard strikes to the head, Kross sold it a bit and Kross hit a full extension kick to the head. Kross delivered an overhead suplex across the ring. Ciampa struck with another hard kick, then a clothesline over the top to the floor and Kross followed him out of the ring. Kross picked up Ciampa and sent him back first into the edge of the ring apron. Back in the ring, Kross delivered another belly-to-belly suplex across the ring. Kross continued the attack with another belly-to-belly suplex across the ring as he smiled at the violence he was causing. Kross delivered repeated knees to the face against the turnbuckle. Kross dared Ciampa to hit him, then Kross hit a Northern Lights Suplex into a clothesline. Ciampa responded with hard chops and strikes to the face, then a kick that sent Kross out of the ring. Kross was on the apron and Ciampa hit Widow's Bell for a two count. Ciampa struck with a running knee to the face, then another running knee to the face, but Kross blocked a move from Ciampa. Kross would put Ciampa on his shoulders and hit a Doomsday Saito. Kross would then apply the Kross Jacket. Ciampa passed out, giving the win to Kross by technical submission.

Main event
In the main event, Charlotte Flair defended the NXT Women's Championship against Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match. In the climax, Flair performed a Spear on Ripley and then applied the Figure Eight submission on her. During this, Shirai performed a moonsault on Ripley from the top rope and pinned Ripley to win the title while Flair was tied up with the submission.

Aftermath
The 2020 TakeOver: In Your House would be the first in a subseries of TakeOvers titled TakeOver: In Your House. The second event was also held in June. The TakeOver series was discontinued in late 2021, but In Your House continued on as NXT's annual June event.

Some of the more challenging family law issues to resolve between the parents occur when one parent wants to move away with the parties' children to another county, state or in some cases the country. Obviously, this can have a significant impact on both parties' relationships with their children.
In resolving these issues, the courts will first want to determine whether or not the motives of the parent who wants to move are legitimate. Specifically, if a court is persuaded that the true reason a parent wants to move away with the children is to frustrate the other parent's contact with their children, a court will not permit the children to move.
However, if a court is convinced that the move is reasonably necessary for such purposes as employment, economic benefit, or to move closer to other family members, the court will then want to analyze the impact the potential move will have upon the children's relationships with both parents. Simply stated, if the children are significantly bonded to both parents, it is unlikely that the moving parent will be able to have the children move with them.
In making this determination, the courts will look at a number of factors. The more significant ones are the amount of time and level of involvement each parent has had with the children. If, for example, the non-moving parent has not been involved with the children's lives and spends a minimal amount of time with them, it is far more likely the children will be able to move away with the other parent.
These cases are very complicated and raise many legal issues. If you are either considering a potential move with your children away from their other parent, or are faced with the other parent attempting to move away with your children, please contact us immediately for further detailed legal advice.


The boat helps you to have a fascinating cruise on the Mekong River. It crosses the Delta and the animated Cao Gao Canal in My Tho.
The Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest wholesale floating market in the Mekong Delta, starts around 05:00 and runs until around midday.
Not really a place for souvenirs, people come here instead to buy large quantities of goods, mostly foodstuffs, and you will get an idea of what water commerce in the Delta looks like.
Visit a Cham tribal village, a cat fish farm.
Return to the ship by boat for lunch and cast off for the Cambodian border for the usual formalities.
Travel by coach to Ba Phnom one of the first religious and cultural sites in Cambodia and may be considered a birthplace of the Cambodian nation.
Passengers will visit Phnom Penh and will be provided with their own private cyclo*. The Cyclo Centre Phnom Penh which provides the cyclos is a charity that provides basic welfare and medical services to cyclo drivers (www.cyclo.org.uk).
In the afternoon, optional excursion (by coach) to the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge's grim Tuol Sleng or S21 detention centre.
This tour is included in the cost of your cruise but must be requested at the time of booking in the comments box.
Wat Nokor is a modern Theravada Buddhist pagoda squeezed into the walls of an 11th century Mahayana Buddhist shrine of sandstone and laterite. It is a kitsch kind of place and many older building's archways have been incorporated into the new building as shrines for worship. It is a peaceful to wander among the many alcoves and their hidden shrines. There is also a large reclining Buddha.
We will travel by coach and transfer to boat to WWF protected area where we hope to see the rare river dolphins. The river here is rocky and not navigable for larger vessels.
In the afternoon, there will be free time to explore the town of Kratie, another remnant of French colonialism.
Visit to Phnom Sabok. Here passengers will visit a variety of small wats, monasteries and pagodas at the top of the hill and experience a wonderful view over the Mekong and surroundings areas.
Afternoon continue to cruising downstream.
Excursion up the Tonle River to Kampong Chhnang either by ship or by coach depending on the water levels.
In Kampong Chhnang passengers will take a wonderful motor boat excursion into the lakeside wetlands that form the mouth of the river. Here many fishtraps may be seen.
Battambang is Cambodia's second most populous city and a popular tourist destination due to the many nearby ancient temples, Buddhist Shrines and the infamous bamboo railway.

Q: Asymptotic behavior of function in terms of constants I'm interested in understanding the behavior of the limit
$$
\lim_{n \to \infty} n\alpha^{c \ln n}
$$
where $\alpha \ge 1$ and $c < 0$.
I'm particularly interested in understanding the relationship between $\alpha$ and $c$ such that this limit approaches a positive constant, $p \in [0,1]$. I believe such a relationship should exist since this limit represents a bound on a probability from a problem in communication complexity.

A: Let consider
$$ n\alpha^{c \ln n}=e^{\ln n+c\ln n\ln \alpha}$$
with
$$\ln n+c\ln n\ln \alpha=\ln n \left(1+c\ln \alpha\right)$$

James O'Brien's Simple Question That Silenced Pro-Russia Caller
Things got very heated between James O'Brien and this pro-Russia caller when she tried to claim that Vladimir Putin was harshly treated in Britain.
Sarah in Winchester insisted that other countries act just as badly as Russia and they are picked on unfairly.
But James had one simple question that Sarah simply couldn't answer.
Sarah said: "There are so many countries in the West who are arrogant and doing evil things. And yet Russia is always the country that gets demonised so much."
Then James asked her: "Which other countries have tried to kill British people on British soil recently?"
Her response was: "There are many different acts of evil..."
James O'Brien in the LBC studio. Picture: LBC
But James carried on: "Which other countries are accused of trying to subvert our democratic processes? Maybe name one. Something that's threatened the national security of Britain and has been sponsored or undertaken by a foreign power.
"What would you go for first when you claim that Russia isn't special?"
Sarah eventually admitted: "I can't think of anything right now."
But the conversation just got more and more heated. Watch it in full above.

The Rose Gallica Splendens belongs to the Gallica Group. It is a shrubby rose that gets to be 1,5m high. It blooms in July. This rose is a semi-double pink rose with golden stamen.
This Rose is very exhuberant and was described for the first time in 1583.
This rose garden is of course very beautiful in June the rose blooming season but thanks to rose breeder such as David Austin, that work on roses that bloom more than once a year, le Rivau rose gardens has rose blooming until October.

Q: Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro not taking OS X I'm out of ideas here.
MacBook Pro 3,1 with a Core 2 Duo and 10.5 isn't booting an OS X Lion DVD. I get a grey circle with a line through it then the Apple logo immediately.
I've zapped the PRAM - no good.
ran fcsk -fy - no good.
Restored the DMG to a FireWire hard drive - no good.
Restored the DMG to USB and tried booting - no good.
Repaired Disk Permissions with Disk Utility.
There's no Boot Camp partition on it. I tried a Snow Leopard DVD - same results - circle with line through it and immediately to the Apple logo.
The Lion DMG is mine from my < 1 year old Core i7 MacBook Pro that I downloaded from the App Store.
Checked for updates to SMC and EFI - it's up to date.
Tried changing the startup disk in Utilities - asks for the admin password and then beeps at me with no reason.
When I go into the DVD / USB from inside OS X the installation program has the same grey circle with line through it over its icon.
The laptop is fine - he's (my father) been using it for weeks in 10.5 - doesn't care if it's completely formatted; just wants to get the latest OS.

A: AFAIK, you must already have 10.6 installed to install 10.7.
You mentioned trying a Snow Leopard DVD, but what kind of DVD (restore, retail, burned) and how did you try booting it (Startup control panel, installer on the DVD, boot loader)?
When starting up the system, hold down the option key to go into the boot loader.  You should get a menu showing the startup drive and any bootable media.  If the DVD doesn't show up, then it is not bootable on that system.  The safest bet is to use a retail DVD.

All counties with extreme poverty in 2018 were rural (nonmetro) counties
In 2018, the United States had 664 high-poverty counties, where an average of 20 percent or more of the population had lived below the Federal poverty level on average over 2014-18. The majority were rural (78.9 percent, or 524 counties). These high-poverty counties represented about one of every four rural counties, compared with about one of every ten urban counties. Fifteen of the 664 counties were extreme poverty areas, where the poverty rate was 40 percent or greater. The extreme poverty areas were also persistent poverty counties, with poverty rates of at least 20 percent over the past 30 years. In 2018, all of the extreme poverty counties were in rural America. These counties are not evenly distributed, but rather are geographically concentrated and disproportionately located in regions with above-average populations of racial minorities. Several extreme poverty counties, for instance, were found in Mississippi, including four counties where there has historically been a high incidence of poverty among the African-American population. These counties were also found in South Dakota, with six counties where Native Americans made up more than 50 percent of the population. This chart appears on the Economic Research Service topic page for Rural Poverty & Well-being, updated February 2020. It is also in the May 2020 Amber Waves article, "Extreme Poverty Counties Found Solely in Rural Areas in 2018."

In 1924 KLM opened the East India route Amsterdam-Batavia with the first single engine FVII. KLM director Dr. Albert Plesman thought it might be preferable to have a plane that wouldn't just drop out of the sky when one engine failed, and he may have had a point. Admiral Byrd thought so, too, and Fokker agreed with them: To participate in the 1925 Ford contest, he cabled Amsterdam to hang two additional Wright Whirlwind engines under the high wings, creating the FVII-3m or Fokker Tri-Motor — the first tri-engine plane ever built.
This type flew in nearly every country and for nearly every larger airline of the world. It was the most popular aircraft of the time, and opened up the first long-distance routes. In 1925 it easily won the Ford reliability contest (the plane was plastered with Fokker's name all over). Henry and Edsel Ford acquired the winning plane for Commander Richard E. Byrd's north polar expedition; years later Ford produced a very similar aircraft, the Ford Tri-Motor. It was made of metal, though — the famous Tin Goose. However, being much heavier it had no more than just over half the Fokker's range (which caused Byrd much grief).
In Ernest K. Gann's Flying Circus he relates how, when Byrd visited the Ford factories and parked his Fokker in their hangar for one night, the Ford engineers recorded the form of the wing with soft copper tubing, foot by foot. It had been developed by chief designer Platz for the Fokker W.W.I fighter model D-VII. He wanted to make the wing stronger, without reinforcing cables. This resulted in a much thicker wing with more drag and, because of that, more lift; it therefore could be shortened again to get the same lift with less drag. This wing was used on all Fokker commercial aircraft until 1940.
F.VIIa Charles Lindbergh Fokker refused Lindbergh this aircraft (too risky) and Lindbergh acquired his Ryan.
One wonders about Lindbergh's theories on the advantages of a single engine. True, most two engine planes then couldn't fly on anyway when they lost one; but the F-VIIb flew on when losing two.
Lindbergh defending his choice comes across almost as weird as his Nazi sympathies.
Amsterdam-Batavia, East Indies. The aircraft was taken apart and shipped back home by ocean freight.
Kingsford Smith, co-pilot Ulm First Pacific crossing: 6,780 nautical miles (over 12,000 kms), in under 88 hours; stops at Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane.
aircraft equipped with floats Sponsor Edsel Ford resented the use of a competitor's model. To his chagrin, Byrd was forced to use Ford Tri-Motors and sold his plane to Amelia Earhart.
Captain Stulz, mechanic Gordon Byrd's aircraft took passenger Amelia Earhart from New Foundland to England in 20 hrs and 40 min.
When you have had a look at the photos below, you'll understand why Fokker probably didn't think much more than twice about tripling his engine power. Looks more like cabinet-making than airplane-building, and gives that subtle hint as to why airplanes are still affectionately referred to as "crates". Lots of nicely varnished veneer, too. Another former Dutch aircraft manufacturer, Pander, for all I know still has a large furniture shop in the city of The Hague.
One U.S. built Fokker Universal Standard sold for $17,500. While the wings were built in Holland and shipped to the USA, the American Fokkers were different designs by A. Francis Archer and Norbert Noorduyn, built by Fokker's USA plant, the Atlantic Aircraft Corporation. The Fokker Tri Motors finally lost their competitive edge in the USA because there was a crash when one of them carried famous football player Knuthe Rockne, and it was ruled this was caused by a failure of the wooden wing construction; ultimately, this was fixed in the F-XVIII where the wing was glued with Bakelite.
Eight years later, via a series of models in-between, the F-XVIII was developed from the F-VIIb.
If you wonder what that name stands for, uh, you're quite right... the dirty mind is not yours.
He himself once wrote his mother: A good name is a good key!
and how they got to be that way.

Swimming is a low-impact sport but with any sport that requires repetitive action you need to maintain a healthy balance between the stronger, tighter muscle swimming uses and the antagonistic, weaker muscle it doesn't. This imbalance, or swimmer's shoulder, is caused by the repetitive internal rotation of the arms under load, therefore creating a tendency for the medial rotators to become shortened and relatively stronger than the antagonistic lateral shoulder rotators.
As a swimmer you need a form of massage specifically designed for your sport. Adding a sports massage can improve your performance as well as decrease your chances of getting injured.
Athletes around the world rely on massage as an important part of their training regimen. Sports Massage techniques, when used regularly, can increase the blood flow that is needed for recovery. Also, it will improve the range of motion and strength of injured muscles and accelerate their healing process. With a full recovery you will be able to increase your workouts and allow your body to adapt to a higher level of stress.
Pre-swim meet: Before the race you need a quick treatment that will increase your circulation and flexibility, and leave your muscles resilient and ready to go.
Post-swim meet: After a hard race you need a massage that will increase your circulation to speed the removal of fatigue toxins, relieve your muscle spasms and prevent soreness.
Fine-tuning: For regular fine-tuning you need a massage that will search out the areas of biomechanical stress in your muscles and relieve them, before they become problems, enabling you to train harder and more consistently.

Vantage Data Centers, a provider of hyperscale data centre campuses, has officially opened a new office in Hong Kong. The office serves as the regional hub to house engineering, construction, sales and leadership functions to support Vantage's expanding business across the APAC region.
"With the number of data centre campuses and employees here, we see the Hong Kong regional office as instrumental in driving our ambitious growth plans," says Giles Proctor, chief operating officer of Vantage's APAC business.
"The modern office will empower our high-performing team to better serve our customer base in APAC as we continue to expand our footprint to meet demand and realize our vision for growth."
Located in the heart of Kowloon, the 5,000-square-foot office can accommodate up to 50 employees. Vantage is committed to creating workplaces that promote diversity, prioritize employee safety, and build a teamwork culture to increase efficiency and deliver world-class solutions.
Vantage Data Centers (VDC) currently has more than 180 employees based in Asia Pacific; a workforce nearly doubled since the company entered the region in late 2021. Vantage's APAC headquarters is in Singapore, while its global headquarters is in Denver.
VDC powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of the world's well-known hyper-scalers, cloud providers and large enterprises.
Developing and operating across five continents in North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, VDC has evolved data centre design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.
From turnkey to an entire build-to-suit scenario, the company takes the guesswork out of how the clients can scale quickly and reliably. It provides four types of data centre solutions.
The first solution is called Rack Ready. "With breakers and outlets in place, rack ready spaces are the most turnkey of turnkey solutions. Simply load your equipment into your secure space, make your network connections, and you're up and running in no time. Of course, we're here throughout to answer any questions and provide support where needed," explains VDC.
The second solution is called Whitespace. "Here's wholesale capacity ready for you to configure to your specific design and operational needs. You control the location and installation of breakers, outlets and network connections, all to match your vision of the most efficient use of your space," says VDC.
But what if the client needs an extremely large-scale data centre with designs that feature new and out-of-the-box ways to connect, power, cool, or maintain?
In such cases, VDC works with the client to build a one-of-a-kind data centre that meets their unique needs.
VDC also offers supporting fit-out services to prepare clients for any eventuality, whichever hyperscale data centre option they choose.
Whether electrical distribution installation or an office space built out, VDC works with the client and creates the perfect environment to support the data module and on-site needs.

Read this fascinating (and rather encouraging, if anyone pays attention [somebody did; see update below]) article by Atul Gawande on, among other things, the enormous difference in health care costs from community to community. Oddly, many communities with the best care also have the lowest costs, and not just by a few percent. Why?
… When you look across the spectrum from Grand Junction to McAllen—and the almost threefold difference in the costs of care—you come to realize that we are witnessing a battle for the soul of American medicine. Somewhere in the United States at this moment, a patient with chest pain, or a tumor, or a cough is seeing a doctor. And the damning question we have to ask is whether the doctor is set up to meet the needs of the patient, first and foremost, or to maximize revenue.
Update: The NY Times reports that Obama has taken notice of this piece (Gawande's, presumably, not mine).
[Dr. Michael L. Langberg, senior vice president of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center] endorsed the goal of covering the uninsured, but said, "We do not believe that rushing to make large cuts in Medicare payments to hospitals is the right way to fund that coverage." The Dartmouth team has cited Cedars-Sinai as having very high Medicare spending per beneficiary.


Another great podcast that excites me is the One Minute Tip podcast by John Chambers. This podcast is exciting because in just a span of one minute, you can learn something valuable and useful. And I like things that can be learned in short period of time because it allows me to do more stuff and be more productive without losing my precious time.
The One Minute Tips is a compilation of podcasts about brief but useful information on topics like Photoshop, Quickstart, web design, computers, operating systems, Mac and other technology related matters. All topics are precise and direct to the point and are definitely worth listening.
I was also impressed on how John archived his podcast collection because it allows listeners to browse at the tip list conveniently. So if you want quick and straight forward practical information about computer and technology, you will love John Chambers' One Minute Tip.

This morning, during those precious moments between waking up and the alarm blaring – prompted by loud thunder and a burst of light flashing behind the sliver between the curtains – I reflected on how much has changed since last time I spent an evening with Rick Springfield at Phoenix's Celebrity Theatre.
That evening was in 1999. I recently returned to Arizona after separating from my then-husband and I was at the concert with my best friend from high school, who has gone to several RS concerts with me, both before that night and afterward.
Between now and then, I've remarried and had three children so my life has changed dramatically.
But the change is not just on a personal level, of course, the world has changed tremendously, too. That was a time when you could meet loved ones at the airport gate, welcoming them the moment they disembarked the plane. A time when "You've Got Mail" was exciting instead of overwhelming. When you'd discuss news or TV shows with co-workers the next morning instead of attacking strangers on Facebook or Twitter if you don't agree with them.
Back in 1999, before "Late, Late at Night" revealed Rick Springfield's "darker side" and he was just our favorite crush from the '80s, his shows were a nostalgic visit back to a simpler time. A fun evening out that transported us back to our pre-teen or teenage selves.
That experience is even more important today. As RS fans from the '80s have evolved from prepubescent to premenopausal through the years, most have experienced darker times in their own lives, too, which strengthens their connection to their favorite rock star. It turns out that by sharing his own "darkness" with others, and sharing his own therapy (i.e. performing energetic concerts) with his fans, he both comforts them during their rough patches and transports them back to those fun times, away from adult responsibilities and worries, if only for a few hours.
My last RS show before tonight: July 2016.


Tony, Maria, Bernardo, Anita, Jets vs. Sharks, and Officer Krupke! And the songs: Maria, Somewhere, and Tonight from Leonard Bernstein's ground-breaking classic, with full orchestra, chorus and outstanding featured vocalists. Presented in collaboration with the New Paradigm Theatre, Kristin Huffman, Producing Partner and Shakespeare on the Sound's Claire Kelly, Stage Director. Come and be amazed and enchanted all over again!


This snow alternative is one of the most realistic in the entertainment business. It looks fantastic as both set dressing and weather effect. SnoBiz Snow is also completely bio-degradeable and soluble in water, so cleanup is simple.
Flakes are 1/4" - 3/8" - superb for falling snow, ground cover, and set dressing.
Flakes are 1/4" and they're great for set dressing, decorating window sills, railings, and tree branches. It looks terrific in closeup shots.
Sold by the box, and each box will cover 100 square feet just a little over an inch deep.

Existentialist Conversations with Strippers, Vol. III: Identity
Editor's Note: This originally appeared on Tao of Pauly under the title AlCantHang and I Walk into a Bar...
Key West. It had the vibe of a Caribbean island without the color. The streets were flooded with sunburnt white people clutching souvenir bags and digital cameras. The AlCantHang Compound (ACHC) was off the beaten path, down a secret alley off a side street, definitely away from tourist central.
A few hours after the Sunday arrival, the guys hung out in the pool while I sat in the shade with AlCantHang and Big Mike. We drank and swapped Amsterdam tales. Most of the crew eventually wanted dinner. AlCantHang's primary objective was booze. They went for food while we walked over to Irish Kevin's, a bar on Duval Street which was an AlCantHang favorite.
From the view outside on the street, Irish Kevin's was located in the first floor of a two story structure, but from the inside, only one humongous space existed. We wandered inside the narrow bar, maybe three tables or four tables wide, with high ceilings. It was one of the longest bars I had ever seen running almost the entire length of the property which was at least thirty or forty yards.
A guy in a blue t-shirt and cargo shorts stood on stage with am acoustic guitar. He played popular cover songs like Jack and Diane and Sweet Home Alabama in a wacky manner. He interacted with the audience and encouraged them to sing-a-long and participate in his random goofiness like busting on people from New Jersey, changing the words to the songs, and guilt-tripping pedestrians to come inside and get shitfaced with everyone else.
It was exactly 8:08pm when I entered an Irish Bar in Key West with AlCantHang. Whenever you walk into a bar with AlCantHang, you're immediately assuming full responsibility for your actions. You always know what you are getting yourself into. There's no false pretense. You will drink and drink and drink and drink as life unfolds around you. You surrender to the flow of the liquor.
One of our friends described AlCantHang as a walking party. And when the party plops down at an Irish bar, you're knee deep in the depths of a serious mind-altering drinking binge. The best you can hope for is that your liver manages to escape with minimal damage and that the hangover the next day won't be devastating where you're clutching the porcelain god at sunrise with the worst case of the dry-heaves that you've had since the earliest days of the Clinton administration.
I knew the three basic tenants of the AlCantHang party-like-a-rock-star rules.
1. Pace yourself.
2. Drink lots of water.
3. And eat as much as possible.
I followed two but not the third. I drank on an almost empty stomach and by the sixth or seven beer, I got hit with a sledgehammer. We were seated at the end of the bar next to a kid, who barely looked old enough to drink. He was with his pretty girlfriend and they sipped some sort of rum and coke drink.
The musician onstage asked who was in the military. The kid raised his hand and said he was in the Army. AlCantHang quickly bought him a shot. That's when he discovered that the kid and his girlfriend lived in the town next to AlCantHang's. Small world.
Enter the Germans. Originally we thought they were Irish since they knew all the words to Irish Rover. As soon as the song ended, they screamed out,"Johnny Cash!"
The Krauts were fans of the man in black and over the next hour, that's all they screamed. In due time, AlCantHang bought them shots. The one German kid almost hurled when he downed a shot of Jim Beam black label. He told us that he'd been in America for two weeks and saw a bunch of cities, but none more fun than Key West.
AlCantHang pulled a $20 out of his wad and rushed up to the stage. He tipped the musician $20 to play Johnny Cash. Ten minutes later, he busted into Folsom Prison Blues.
"Since I got tipped $20 to play Johnny Cash from AlCantHang," the guy on stage said. "I'm going to play two songs."
The Germans went nuts. The entire bar sang along. Inside of a couple of hours, AlCantHang became the King of the Bar. Even the owner was buying him shots. If you've done any drinking under the AlCantHang Experience, you fully comprehend his magical powers.
The rest of the crew eventually joined us for a round or three in the back of the bar while a second musician took the stage. He was a black guy from New York City. He has some sick chops and was twenty-times the musician as the goofy guy, but he lacked the charisma of the first guy.
That's when AlCantHang said, "Time for some tits. And ass!"
Like Moses parting the Red Sea, AlCantHang darted through the crowd as the drunks in Irish Kevin's made a path for him to the front door. We walked fifteen meters and we reached the establishment that I will call, "The Classy Joint."
Editor's Note: I have been informed by my legal counsel to omit the actual name of the gentleman's clubs and change the names of the strippers in order to protect the innocent. Like they are giving me their real names anyway? I also refer to the first strip club as "The Classy Joint" because there will be a second establishment mentioned in this post that is made the first place look like the Rhino in Las Vegas.
The Classy Joint is located at the top of a slippery wooden staircase. Thousands of horny men and other wayward and desperate souls made the same climb. The cover charge was $5 but I got in for free since Lewey flashed his VIP card, which gave him and a guest free admission. I realized that the entire crew had a VIP card with the exception of me.
Big Mike scouted out a spot. The space was fairly large with a stage in the middle of the room with two stripper poles on opposite sides. Twenty or so chairs were around the stage while a long bar nestled against the back wall. There was a hallway off to the side which led to the Champagne Lounge. Next to that was a room with group of red velvet couches where the adult entertainers performed their infamous exotic lap dances under the sultry hues of red, purple, and pink neon.
We set up camp near the stage. One or two of us would take turns sitting at the stage and tipping the girls $1 bills. Except the AlCantHang crew were serious ballers. They were tipping a minimum of $5 or $6 and up to $20.
That's their game plan. It was the first night in town and they made it known that they were in Key West for a week. What at first seemed like they (well I guess it's the collective 'we') we recklessly splashed money around, it was all done on purpose to establish the fact that we were not cheap tourists looking to see some ass for next to nothing. As Big Mike explained, we were conditioning the natives. That way the next time we ventured inside, we got quick and attentive service. (And that would happen when we returned less than 19 hours later and you'll read about that in another post.)
Overtipping became the norm and within minutes our crew got all of the attention in The Classy Joint, even though it was crowded for a Sunday night. Everyone became secondary to the AlCantHang Experience. Big Mike took care of our waitress with a nice pre-tip. She was an attractive Cuban woman and didn't look as skanky as the girls on stage. That made her the most sophisticated lady in the club.
"How come you don't dance," asked Big Mike.
"I'm a mommy. Mommies don't dance. Would you like to see your mommy dance?" she said.
"Are you kidding me? The fuckin' whore? I'd love to see her actually get off her ass to make a dime," Big Mike honestly said.
The majority of the girls were average looking strippers. They would be working a second-tier club in Las Vegas or stripping during the day at one of the bigger clubs. But in Key West, they were the cream of the crop. And even though they were some of the better looking pieces of ass in town, they still had the wild reputation that Key West strippers have. The word "dirty" comes to mind.
Most strip clubs in Las Vegas implement a strict hands-off the dancer policy. The majority of the girls at the Rhino or Crazy Horse Too don't shower you with special attention unless you shower them with $100 bills. It's all business for the Las Vegas girls and if you want any sort of extra attention or groping, you have to fork over big bucks for an adventure in the VIP room. Of course, that's the biggest scam in Las Vegas next to the 99 cent shrimp cocktail.
At the Key West establishments, all you have to do is pay $20 for a naughty session which includes (and not limited too) crotch grabbing and getting your face used as a punching bag as the ladies slap their poorly designed fake-breasts into your face.
Sure, we all had fun. But our primary goal was to make sure AlCantHang had fun. And he did. Of course, we lost Lewey for sometime. He went into the back and didn't come out for a while. And when he finally reappeared he had a wry smirk on his face.
I befriended a stripper from the Czech Republic. She stood about five-foot ten with dark hair and natural breasts. She reminded me of Phoebe Cates and had a tattoo of a scorpion on her ankle. What looked like four cigarette burns peppered the inside of her thighs.
By the second lap dance, we had been discussing lesser known Milan Kundera books like Identity as she stood upside down on her hands and rubbed her shaved crotch on my chest.
"Your country was invaded my the Soviets," I rambled on during the fourth lap dance. "They set up a puppet government that eventually crumbled after the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. Your formerly behind the Iron Curtain nation-state was broken up into two republics and instead of staying behind in your new land of freedom, you fled to Key West where you strip for a bunch of old farts who are in town for a few hours when their cruise ship docked. Or you're grinding away for horny servicemen on leave taking every cent of their slave wages that our government pays them?"
"I like the warm weather," she cooed. "And I'm trying to earn enough money to bring my mother here."
Of course, she was trying to sell the old routine, "I'm only let potential serial killers and politicians pull my hair and fondle my breasts for $20 a pop so I can bring my mother to America."
She was a hustler, a decent one at that. The vixen almost had me convinced. But I've been around the block a few times and been to enough strip clubs that I could write a book about it. The American bimbos use law school or business school as their faux cover. The foreign ones like to bring up their mothers and highlight the hardships in their motherland. This one was down here to hook a big whale. Perhaps a lonely and well off retired businessman with a yacht and a multiple million dollar homes.
"Everyone loves their mothers," I said. "Don't you love money?"
"Of course," she said as she continued to dance to a random hip hop sing with fellatio lyrics.
"But do you love money more than your mother?"
She paused and said, "I love them equally both."
"But your mother is still washing dirty underwear for tourists in Prague, right? Because if you really loved her, she'd be in paradise with you, washing dirty underwear for tourists in Key West."
She didn't blink and tried to get me off the topic. She grabbed my junk for four long seconds and twisted my nipples until I begged her to stop.
I don't recall how long we spent at The Classy Joint. I was shitfaced drunk when I left the Irish bar and drank steadily at the strip club. We finally left and walked down the street. We made a turn down a dark alley next to a couple of abandoned buildings. A faint pink light could be seen and that was the strip club on the other side of the tracks.
The Dive was a step down on the stripper food chain. A couple of rungs. It reminded me of those horrible and sad clubs in shitbag towns and third-rate cities where career strippers end up when they hit 40 or on their last breaths before they croak from a speedball OD in the tiny bathroom of a no-tell motel freaking out the chubby married business man from the Midwest who hired the strung out vixen to suck his toes for $20 a toe.
"This is the place where Key West strippers come to die," said Landow in a straight face as we walked inside.
There was no cover charge. For obvious reasons. The place looked the basement of my fraternity house, except with a stripper pole. There was one dilapidated stage off to the left and a tiny bar to the right. Several old guys sat at the bar. Two of them had girls sitting on their laps. One was atrocious looking as her double-D sized books spilled out of her top. The better looking one seemed out of place until she smiled and I realized that she was missing three teeth. I didn't want to touch anything because I was afraid of contracting an STD.
As soon as we walked in, the best looking dancer in the club wandered up. She looked gorgrous at first glance, but underneath the lights, the wrinkles gave her away. Twenty years ago she was the hottest stripper in town. The Dive is like her retirement home.
"Aren't you AlCantHang?" she asked.
AlCantHang told her that he was and she mentioned that one of the girls they knew was due to dance on stage next. Years ago, the crew befriended a stripper. I guess we'll call her N. When N saw AlCantHang and his crew, she bubbled over with excitement.
For the next hour or so, they all caught up over a couple of beers as I watched the various dancers take turns running to the bathroom to rip a few lines before it was their turn to dance.
The Dive was sketchy because they cut off all songs at the 2 minute and 10 second mark. I counted. So if you got a lap dance, you got cheated. The standard lap dance at traditional clubs is about three minutes or so. I refused to go into the back room with those ladies. At some point you have to draw the line somewhere. For me, it was The Dive.
I don't recall leaving the second strip club. I vaguely recall trying to find a slice of pizza. Then I blacked out. I woke up in my bed at the hotel. A fuckin' rooster woke me up. There are all these free range chickens and roosters wandering around Key West. One in particular caused me to awake from a dead sleep.
My head was ringing. I had a category three hangover on the verge of dehydration. I managed to avoid puking and chugged the rest of the water I had as I quickly popped two Motrin and one generic Vicodin. I looked at my digital camera. It was a scene out of Momento where I had to piece my life back together using a couple of random images, mostly from the Irish bar. The strip clubs had a no photography policy, so there were no shots of that debauchery.
I grabbed the wad of cash out of my pocket. It looked healthy until I unfurled it and began counting. Wait, were did all the hundreds go? And all those twenties were replaced by singles. I did some quick math and figured out between the Irish bar and the two strip clubs, I had blown about $420.
I sat down at the table near the window overlooking Duval Street. Despite the hangover, I fired up the pipe and the laptop and began writing about the previous 48 hours. That's when the tour trolley stopped in front of the hotel. I looked out of the window and a guy on a microphone pointed to the hotel. He muttered something about this being, "a historical landmark almost as old as Key West itself."
One woman snapped a quick photo. I wonder if the tour guide stopped his trolley at The Classy Joint or The Dive and said the same thing?

Cinemark Shares Hit 7-Month High After Boost From Analyst Predicting "Return To Normalcy" For Movie Theaters – Update
AT&T-Time Warner Merger Approved
By Dawn C. Chmielewski, Dade Hayes, Dominic Patten
AT&T/Time Warner
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., today cleared the way for the planned merger of AT&T and Time Warner in a landmark antitrust ruling that will likely accelerate the pace of media consolidation.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon accepted the survival-of-the-fittest argument AT&T and Time Warner executives made in court: that the only way for a media company to survive in an environment increasingly dominated by technology giants is by combining movie studios, TV channels, distribution and data into one corporation.
The judge rejected the Department of Justice's contention that combining the nation's second largest telecommunications company and the biggest pay TV provider with one of the country's leading film and television studios concentrates too much power in the hands of one corporation.
AT&T Phases Out AT&T TV Now
In a stinging rebuke, Leon concluded that Justice Department had failed to prove that the blockbuster combination would result in higher prices for consumers or harm competition.
"For AT&T and Time Warner, this is a 'major victory lap,'" wrote technology analyst Daniel Ives of GBH Insights. "As having these combined media assets and entertainment assets under the hood of AT&T will significantly enhance streaming endeavors and cross pollination going forward."
The decision clears the way for AT&T's $85.4 billion merger of Time Warner, which will bring HBO, Turner and the Warner Bros. studio into the house that Ma Bell built, with alongside another recent entertainment industry acquisition, DirecTV.
"We are pleased that, after conducting a full and fair trial on the merits, the court has categorically rejected the government's lawsuit to block our merger with Time Warner," AT&T said in a statement. "We thank the Court for its thorough and timely examination of the evidence, and we compliment our colleagues at the Department of Justice on their dedicated representation of the government."
AT&T said it hopes to complete the merger on or before June 20.
Leon urged the DOJ, in the strongest words, not to try to contest this ruling or ask the courts to impose a stay that would prevent the AT&T-Time Warner transaction from closing — prolonging the outcome even further. A protracted legal battle might prompt shareholders to pressure Time Warner to haul AT&T back to the bargaining table and ask for more money.
The DOJ seemed unprepared, however, to admit defeat.
"We are disappointed in the court's decision today. We continue to believe that the pay TV market will be less competitive and less innovative as a result of the proposed merger between AT&T and Time Warner," said Makan Delrahim, head of the DOJ's Antitrust Division. "We will closely review the court's opinion and consider next steps in light of our commitment to preserving competition for the benefit of American consumers."
Lawyers, lobbyists and PR execs for AT&T and Time Warner spilled out into the hallway outside the courtroom. They exchanged high fives and pats on the back, literally breathing sighs of relief and laughing at the ordeal suddenly over.
The camp from the DOJ immediately headed into a closed room across from the courtroom to discuss their next moves. Antitrust division chief Makan Delrahim said he was disappointed. "We obviously don't agree."
Another member of his team, asked about an appeal, said, "We have to think it over."
Today's ruling brought a near audible sigh of relief in the telecommunications and media world, where other big deals are pending — including the Walt Disney Co.'s $52.4 billion all-stock offer for much of 21st Century Fox. It all but assures that Comcast will mount a competing bid for Fox's film and television assets, pending the outcome of the six-week trial.
"Depending on what (if any) conditions are imposed or the scope of the ruling, this decision could serve as a "green light" for other potential M&A, including Comcast's ongoing pursuit of Fox (although regulatory obstacles could be more challenging given Comcast's NBC ownership)," predicted UBS's John Hodulik.
Indeed, BTIG Analyst Rich Greenfield predicts Comcast will make its all-cash bid for the same Fox assets that Disney is trying to buy "within 24- to 48-hours." The ruling might also put smaller entertainment companies in play, including Lionsgate, which owns Starz, Discovery Communications and even Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Investors reacted positively to the news. Time Warner's stock, which closed at $96.22, shot up 4% in after-hours trading, even though AT&T's stock sagged slightly, falling 2% to $33.57 after the market closed. Interestingly, Disney's stock fell nearly 2% to $102.45 after the market closed, an indication that Wall Street anticipates a rival bid from Comcast.
Dozens of reporters began lining up at dawn in the hallway outside Courtroom 18. Judge Leon is known for his dim view of the press, so his chief deputy, John Haley, issued multiple reminders to reporters and others on line that no electronic devices would be permitted inside the courtroom. Also, no one was allowed to leave the courtroom once the doors were closed at 4PM, a measure designed to prevent early breaks of the news.
"You people in the press are going to have to get your little notebooks and pencils out," Haley said.
The strictly enforced rules led to a rare period of suspended animation for the entire media business. The ironic silence was broken only by the judge deciding the fate of a company that specializes in instantaneous digital communication.
The judge's decision also cements the legacy of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, who had bet the wireless carrier's future on its ability to capitalize on the growing importance of mobile devices as screens of choice for video viewing. The company's stock has fallen 15% over the last two years, as wireless and pay TV subscriptions have stagnated.
It also seemingly fortifies Time Warner in the intensifying battle with media interlopers Amazon, Google and Netflix.
From all outward appearances, Time Warner was well-fortified against the Silicon Valley invaders, with powerhouse HBO and CNN networks, and attractive film catalog that includes lucrative contemporary film franchises like Harry Potter and the DC superheroes Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, as well as classics like Casablanca, Singin' In The Rain and Citizen Kane.
But CEO Jeff Bewkes painted the grim prospects of going it alone against tech rivals who enjoy direct relationships with customers and are able to draw from extensive viewer data to inform their content development.
"We know how many people are watching" networks such as HBO or TNT, Bewkes testified in court. "But we don't know their names. Our direct competitors do. …. They know all sorts of things that we don't."

Johnny Bench Hof Legend Adirondack Vintage Collectible 33" Blonde Baseball Bat!
The Cincinnati Reds are an MLB team that plays in the National League Central division. One of the earliest franchise in the MLB, the Reds franchise has been a part of baseball since 1882. The Reds currently play their home games at the Great American Ballpark, which opened its doors in 2003.
Originally a part of the American Association in 1882, the Reds won the pennant in their first year. They would then not win another until 1919, when they were a member of the National League, and would go on to win their first World Series. In their history, the Reds have won nine pennants to go with five World Series titles. The unquestioned best era of Cincinnati Red baseball came in the 1970s. The Big Red Machine was the nickname for the Reds team of the 1970s that featured one of the best lineups that were ever constructed. The teams were managed by Sparky Anderson and had future Hall of Famers Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez. That group of Hall of Famers would play with Dave Concepción, George Foster, César Gerónimo and Ken Griffey, Sr. and were nicknamed the "Great Eight" because they were an unbeatable combination. The Big Red Machine averaged 95 wins a season from 1970-79, won six National League West Division titles, four National League pennants, and two World Series titles. The Reds won back to back championships in 1975-76 with the Red Machine and then would go on to win another in 1990.
Reds fans can get great autographed memorabilia that will help them celebrate the history and present of their team. Autographed memorabilia from former Reds greats like Hall of Famers Joe Morgan, Barry Larkin, and Ken Griffey Jr. as well as Sean Casey, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier and Brandon Phillips. These autographed collectibles are incredibly valuable and will look great on display in your home or office. All autographed memorabilia are guaranteed authentic.
Joey Votto Autographed Photos: Since 2007, Joey Votto has been the face of the Red franchise as an elite player in the National League. Votto routinely hits well above .300 as one of the best pure hitters in baseball and he would go on to win the MVP in 2010. Votto has also been an excellent defender at first base as he won a Gold Glove award in 2011. We offer great certified authentic autographed Joey Votto photos that show the best moments of his Reds career.
Johnny Bench Autographed Jerseys: Joe Morgan spent the best years of his career as a prominent member of the Big Red Machine of the 1970s. Morgan won two NL MVP awards during that time in both of the years where they ultimately won the World Series in 1975 and 1976. This is Reds fans opportunity to secure unique jerseys signed by Joe Morgan. The Reds retired Morgan's No. 8 jersey, so fans will be getting a piece of history when they buy one of our certified authentic autographed Morgan jerseys.
Pete Rose Autographed Baseballs: Baseball's all-time hit king with 4,256 hits, Pete Rose was one of the best baseball players to ever live. Rose was eventually banned from the MLB because of betting on the game but that does not make him any less invaluable to Reds fans. Get some of our unique autographed baseballs from Pete Rose, such as one that he has signed "I am sorry I bet on baseball". These autographed Pete Rose baseballs come with a certificate of authenticity.
Joe Morgan Autographed Memorabilia: Regarded by some as the greatest catcher to ever live, Johnny Bench is an iconic member of the Reds organization. Bench won 10 Gold Glove awards for his great work behind the plate, as well as two MVP awards. Reds fans will always remember Bench fondly and this is the chance to get rare autographed memorabilia from the Hall of Famer. Every Johnny Bench autographed collectible comes with a certificate of authenticity.

This is where John Adams comes to the rescue with A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law and updates everyone!
Right? Right?
Okay, I'll go read it and see if it actually has anything to do with what we're talking about.
KW says
Hmm, looks like he's using a rifle as a club.
Dhamon says
in reply to KW
well ya, you get one shot out of guns back then, and in a melee you don't have time to reload. (Really good users could get at most 6 shots a minute, and that requires a ton of practice)
Bob Loblaw says
That's why their was no time for law school, killing natives takes a lot longer when you try to club them with a musket.
WJS says
It certainly doesn't look like he'll be using it as a gun again; if he connects with anything holding it like that, it'll snap clean in two.
in reply to WJS
Muskets back then were sturdy enough to use as a bludgeon, and were commonly used that way in close-quarter fighting.
in reply to Nathan
Oh, I know they're fairly sturdy, but there's a big weak point where a lot of wood is bored out for the lock. Holding it by the very end of the barrel like that would put a lot of stress on that spot when it hits, and I wouldn't expect it to survive.
how long did it take you to write all of these comics??

A fun, whimsical tale about an office drone trying to save his life from his narrator, Stranger Than Fiction features a subdued performances from Will Ferrell that contributes mightily to its quirky, mind-bending affect.
An IRS auditor has his life interrupted by the sound of a personal narrator who knows his every thought, feeling and action, including when and where he will die.
The actors and the filmmakers all take a more restrained approach than you might expect, keeping the humor gentle, and the jokes mostly as literary as the premise.
An uncommonly plastic bit of Hallmark sentiment-mongering, with exactly the kind of New Age psychobabble ending youâ(TM)d expect.
Ferrell rules in this film. I take back my words of prejudice. This is the smartest film in town.
Screenwriter Zach Helm's comedy has some quirky points, but it's very sugary and sentimental, and feeble compared to the work of those who have done the same sort of thing better: Woody Allen or Charlie Kaufman.
Instead of finishing with a bang it peters out, but this existential yarn is still fresh and funny enough to justify taking two hours out of your life.
A film well worth seeing and savoring.
The manic spirit of Preston Sturges has a hold of this voyage of self-discovery that's packed with laughs and brilliant performances. Thompson in particular hasn't been this inspired for a long time.
There just isn't enough wit or style or verve to pull it off. It takes a great premise and then not only fails to run with it, but also fails to go absolutely anywhere with it at all.
Intriguing possibilities, except Helm and Forster aren't quite Kaufman and Jonze. Once their parallel narratives converge, those hoping for a mind-bending meta-pile-up may feel the movie lacks the courage of its fatalistic fiction.
"It's not the best piece of English literature of the last ten years," Dustin Hoffman says of Emma Thompson's newest novel, "but it's not bad." That just about sums up Stranger Than Fiction, too.
Inventively inverting "Adaptation.'s'" anxiety into light romance, "Fiction" is one of the most intelligent, lively, charming and beguiling concept comedies since "Groundhog Day" and a perfect seriocomic splinter of Will Ferrell's big-baby shtick.
Liked this better on a rewatch. Interesting idea.
Meta sugar. I loved the bus scenes.
Harold Crick: This may sound like gibberish to you... but uh... but I think I'm in a tragedy.
Harold Crick: You just said ten seconds ago, you wouldn't help me.
Professor Jules Hilbert: It's been a very revealing ten seconds.
Professor Jules Hilbert: Aren't you glad you're not a golem?
Harold Crick: Yes. I am glad I'm not a golem.

BONES Adds a New Squintern
August 5, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Booth and Brennan's bundle of joy isn't the only addition to the team BONES fans should be anticipating this season — Fox has confirmed to Give Me My Remote that Luke Kleintank has landed a spot on the series.
According to TVGuide.com — who first reported the casting — Kleintank will play the Jeffersonian's newest squintern, Finn Abernathy. It seems Finn is something of a kid genius (he earned his college degree at 16), but he has a troubled past. Given how many jokes have been made about Sweets' age, should we start taking bets about whether poor Finn will meet the same fate?
What do you think of the addition of a new squintern? Were you hoping the show would bring someone new on after Vincent's death? Or were you hoping we'd see more of the squinterns we already have?

While I am quite enjoying summertime, I'm now extra eager for November to arrive. I'm looking forward to meeting the new character! 😀
dianna on August 5th, 2011 1:40 pm
I can't wait till Bones comes back It should be fun
Barb on August 5th, 2011 1:47 pm
I'm taking a "wait and see" on the new intern. The character sounds as if he could be extremely annoying — not your description of him, Marisa, but what I've read on other sites re: "redneck charm."
Billie on August 5th, 2011 1:53 pm
He sounds like a character that will take a while to like… BUT i'm all in for giving him a chance, No-one with replace Zack or Vincent ( DUH! ) but he sounds quite intresting and can't wait to see how it plays out! Plus, he has quite a cool name.. Finn Abernathy… got a nice ring too it 😀 But also, yeah, hoping to see more of the squinters we already know, mainly Fisher as we didn't get to see him much in season 6.. or even at all… can't remember :L LOVE MY BONES <3
ann on August 6th, 2011 12:51 pm
I would like to see more of the ole squinterns..I am happy with them, but this one might be fun……………
Yume on August 9th, 2011 11:32 pm
I'd like to see more of the old interns… Vincent was one of my favorites, but I really like Fisher too (he's tied with Vincent, actually). I'm not sure I like where the show is going, honestly. I guess I'll just have to wait and see in November..
Alyssa on August 17th, 2011 4:26 am
R I P Vincent Nigel Murray you will always be my fav xxxxxx
Lyn Bockmiller on September 7th, 2011 2:50 pm

iPhone 12 prices leaked for every model and storage size
By James Rogerson published 2 October 20
But there's some disagreement
The iPhone 11 Pro Max (Image credit: Future)
The iPhone 12 range is likely landing very soon, but ahead of that plenty of details have leaked, including most recently pricing information for every model. There's some disagreement here though, with two different sources leaking slightly different prices.
First up, we have @a_rumors1111, who claims that the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini will cost $649 (roughly £500 / AU$910) with 64GB of storage, $699 (around £540 / AU$975) with 128GB, and $799 (approximately £615 / AU$1,115) with 256GB.
The standard 6.1-inch iPhone 12 (which some earlier rumors had called the iPhone 12 Max), meanwhile, is said to be $749 (around £580 / AU$1,050) with 64GB of storage, $799 (roughly £615 / AU$1,115) with 128GB, and $899 (around £695 / AU$1,255) with 256GB.

Moving on to the Pro models, they claim the iPhone 12 Pro will start at $999 (approximately £770 / AU$1,400) with 128GB of storage, going up to $1,099 (around £850 / AU$1,535) with 256GB, and $1,299 (roughly £1,000 / AU$1,815) with 512GB.
Finally, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is apparently $1,099 (around £850 / AU$1,535) if you want it with 128GB of storage, $1,199 (approximately £925 / AU$1,675) with 256GB, and $1,399 (roughly £1,080 / AU$1,955) with 512GB.
However, @iAppleTimes (another leaker) replied agreeing with the Pro pricing, but saying that the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 pricing is wrong, with each storage size apparently being $50 (roughly £40 / AU$70) more than @a_rumors1111 claims.
It's worth noting that neither of these sources have the longest of track records, so we'd take both claims with a pinch of salt. But both sets of prices are roughly in line with things we've heard before, so there's a good chance the pricing will be in this sort of region – especially for the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, since these two sources agree on the pricing of those phones.
We should know for sure soon, as Apple is rumored to be unveiling the iPhone 12 range on October 13, so the wait is likely almost over. TechRadar will cover the announcement in full, as well as bringing you all the credible news and leaks in the meantime.
