Talk1 Share! You idiot! Letting someone else take over your body... you need to love yourself more!
— Rima Toya, Vampire Knight Guilty

Rima Toya (遠矢 莉磨, Tōya Rima) is one of the youngest Night Class students and has a close relationship of an unknown nature with Senri Shiki. She works alongside with him as a model. She is also roommates with Ruka Souen.

The meaning of "Toya" is "far-reaching arrow" and "Ri" means Jasmine, the "ma" signifies enchantment by wearing away (such as by polishing)

Rima has the natural pale, creamy skin tone of most of the Night Class. She has a strikingly beautiful appearance, much like the other Noble vampires. She has a slender, perfectly proportioned body, and her hair is a light orange shade, and is perfectly straight. When left alone it will hang just below her shoulders in layered locks of gold. Rima often uses black hair ribbons to tie it up into pigtails high on each side of her head: the only part that is left alone is the bangs that fall just above her eyes and shorter hair on the side of her face. Her eyes are big and of a blue color similar to cerulean.

In the epilogue, a couple of years after Yuki left to give birth to Kaname's child, Rima is seen with even bangs instead of choppy bangs, and her hair is much longer, but not tied with black ribbons.

Rima possesses a strong and self-assured personality similar to Senri. She tends to expand energy only when necessary, and is usually a lady of few words. Normally, she comes across as a quick thinker, indifferent and aloof, but is often seen to be worrying about Senri and Takuma Ichijo. Despite her uninterested air she has no qualms speaking her mind and unexpectedly has a short-tempered side to her as well. She usually has an indifferent or disinterested expression on her face. As a vampire, she gets sunburned easily and can be seen walking under a parasol with Senri during the day. Cool, professional and occasionally cynical, Rima is also very loyal and protective of her friends.

Little is known about Rima's history, but due to her relationship with Senri, we can assume that they were friends before the Night Class was founded.

In the beginning of the series, Rima plays a very insignificant role. She worries about Senri over the holidays when he returns home and even more so when she is unable to contact him. After suspecting Shiki has changed after the holidays, she confronts Rido Kuran and tells him to leave Senri's body since she can tell that he is not himself. She is wounded by Rido, but is saved by Takuma Ichijo. She tries to convince Senri to snap out of his state and calls him an idiot for letting Rido control him, telling Shiki he should learn to love himself more.

A year later, during the ball, Rima is annoyed with Kaname because he halted their search prematurely and did not reveal Takuma's whereabouts. Rima expresses an unwillingness to attend the party, but is cajoled by Senri to attend, where coincidentally, they ran into Takuma. After the ball they visit the Kuran mansion to deliver a message to Yuki from Takuma. The two get annoyed with Aido for his unwillingness to bend the rules, but Yuki asks to make an exception for the two and invites them in. Rima notices Yuki's heels and comments to Yuki that she didn't think the prefect was the type to wear impractical shoes (pin heels). She and Senri leave promptly because the place is a reminder of Rido Kuran.

They are later seen doing a photoshoot at the school where Sara Shirabuki was posing as a student, and again they run into Takuma there.

They are shown again at a model shoot after Kaname has disappeared. They see a model who had been confronted by a vampire who said she looked unappetizing. They then start discussing the aristocrats and Kaname's
558638 186574511464846 183951791727118 278270 1092740264 n
relationship and Rima shows sympathy for Yuki. Yuki then comes later at the end of the model shoot to ask something. It is revealed that Yuki wants to restart the Night Class again and wanted Rima and Senri to be her comrades. Rima helping Yuki with the Night Class may start to involve her in the story more.

Powers & AbilitiesEdit

Rima possesses the ability to wield electricity/lightning. Like all Aristocratic vampires, she possesses an accelerated healing factor and can erase memories if needed. A good example of both of her powers would be in the fight between her and Rido/Shiki. She also has enhanced speed and agility, also as shown when fighting Rido.

Senri ShikiEdit

Main Article: Senri & Rima

Rima seems to act like an older sister to Senri, often seen feeding him pocky in the anime and sometimes in the

Rima and the Night Class

manga. They are acquaintances in modeling and are rarely seen without each other. Rima is often seen worrying over Senri, especially when he goes off to see his mother whilst she travels to the Aido mansion with the others. They both seem to understand each other as Rima is the first person to immediately discover that Senri is being possessed. She cries out for Senri to love himself more when she is injured by a possessed Senri's blood whip. Again, their close relationship is shown when she asks for Senri's blood upon waking up and he agrees. Later, their roles seem to almost reverse--with Senri as the "older sibling" when he shows new maturity in urging her to attend the Kurans' soiree to show their support.

With this occurrence, we can see that it is not just Rima holding the affections for Senri and that he cares for Rima as well. Also with Senri agreeing so casually to giving Rima blood we can assume they have given each other blood before and the sibling relationship has faded into more because as quoted by Kaname Kuran " a vampire's lust for blood can only be satisfied by that of the one they love most."

During the battle between Sara and Kaname, Senri takes the drugged blood tablets that make a vampire crave blood madly and after a few moments of taking the tablets Senri quickly leaves Rima's side his body now thirsting for blood in a matter that would drive any normal aristocrat vampire into a Level E like state. He goes to Takuma and says he thinks it would be best if he stayed with them for a while. With this we can tell that it is not Takuma's blood Senri craves for or else he would have gotten as far away from him as possible to avoid harming him but instead he avoids Rima as much as possible so we can assume it is her blood he is going mad over. Later during the battle Senri is confronted by Rima as she runs and grabs him, Rima ends up hugging him from behind and talks him out of going to help Takuma. Neither Senri nor Rima are the touching type, with this act we can see that their bond defies their normal boundaries with physical and emotional contact. This lets us see that there is more to their "deep bond " than what was originally stated. In further chapters, there is a moment when Takuma is telling Rima to leave and that she should go home before she gets hurt. Rima refuses to leave wanting to stay by Senri's side. As Takuma furthers trying to persuade Rima to leave, Senri surprises us by interrupting Takuma, using an unusually angry tone at him and then promptly holds his hand out for Rima and tells her if she truly cares for him she will stay by his side and not ever leave it. After this moment Rima blushes showing uncharacteristic emotion towards Senri the page is promptly ended by Takuma giving in and letting Rima stay.

Takuma IchijoEdit

Rima is presumably good friends with Takuma and vice versa as he is evidently worried when Rima is injured by a possessed Senri. Likewise, Rima is also seen mentioning where 'Ichijo-san' was when she wakes up and both her and Senri find that Takuma has disappeared.

QuotesEdit! You idiot! Letting someone else take over your body... you need to love yourself more!

She was inspired by Senri's mother, a famous ex-actress, to start modeling.

By the numbers: How green is your animal protein?

Share Adjust Comment Print

An assessment of the environmental impacts of animals farmed for meat in B.C. might have you looking a little differently at your proteins of choice. Ottawa-based economic and regulatory analysis firm RIAS Inc. completed a review of the available data and scientific literature quantifying the impact of cattle, hogs, poultry and net-pen farmed salmon.

Life Cycle Assessments, as defined by the United Nations, look at key, measurable elements of environmental impact including water use, land use, nutrient pollution (eutrophication), greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. LCAs do not consider the impacts and costs of potentially harmful infestations and pathogens common to animals farmed for meat in B.C., including E. coli (cattle), Avian Influenza (poultry), Swine Flu (hogs), sea lice (salmon) and other viruses and bacteria.

The report Environmental Footprint of BC Farm-Raised Salmon was funded by the B.C. Salmon Farmers Association:

REDESIGN Graphics Print TemplateWater Use (litres)

A measure of fresh water consumed by animals and used to water crops and process feed:

Beef 15,400

Pork 6,000

Poultry 4,300

Salmon 1,400

Land Use (square metres)

A measure than includes the footprint of animal rearing and the area required for feed production:

Beef 68.3

Pork  11.5

Poultry 9.9

Salmon 4.3

Eutrophication (PO4e)

A measure of the excess nutrients, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, released into the environment as a result of animal rearing, expressed in phosphate equivalents produced per kilogram of meat:

Beef 55

Pork 12.7

Poultry 5

Salmon 47.4

Greenhouse Gases (kilograms of CO2e)

A measure of emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from animal rearing, feed production and gases emitted by animals directly. The figure is rendered in CO2 equivalents, which accounts for the variable global warming potential of different gases:

Beef 37.2

Pork 6.4

Poultry 5.1

Salmon 2.2

Energy (MJ)

A measure of the energy expended in animal rearing and feed production, expressed in megaJoules, an equivalency that reconciles energy sources from fuel to electricity:

Beef 44.8

Pork 23.6

Poultry 23.1

Salmon 31.7

Feed efficiency (kilograms)

Also called feed conversion, this is a measure of how much food an animal requires to produce one kilogram of body weight:

Beef 6

Pork 2.8

Poultry 1.7

Salmon 1.2

Exec replaces Plowman

LONDON — The BBC’s new head of comedy is seasoned U.K. comedy topper Mark Freeland, who will replace Jon Plowman.

Freeland, whose title is head of comedy for vision studios, will oversee in-house comedy production across four BBC TV channels.

He rejoins the pubcaster following a brief stint at British comedy specialist Hartswood Films, where he was an executive producer.

Freeland’s previous jobs include head of comedy commissioning at the BBC between 2002 and 2005, where he helped nurture hits like sketch show “The Catherine Tate Show.” and edgy black comedy “Nighty Night.”

Prior to that he was head of original programs at Sky One.

The highly regarded Plowman is leaving after 14 years as head of comedy to return to program-making.

Emmy drama nominees show their gory side

Quick, call Dexter Morgan. The Emmy drama race is a bloody mess.

There’s the story of America’s favorite serial killer on “Dexter,” the artery-rending “True Blood” and the high impact gross-out moments of “Breaking Bad.”

Even “Mad Men,” usually as clean as the lines of a mid-century Knoll credenza, featured a John Deere lawn tractor accident that sprayed blood on the walls of Sterling Cooper. That ep, “Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency,” earned noms for both writing and directing, suggesting a certain blood lust this Emmy season.

“We have had our fair share of blood — there’s no denying,” says Vince Gilligan, creator of “Breaking Bad,” which has featured shockers like a severed head delivered on a turtle’s back, and this season a double amputee dragging himself across a hospital room, trailing twin streams of blood.

While gore isn’t the primary source of the series’ Emmy love, Gilligan concedes that blood is an attention-grabbing device.

“I love the word Stanley Kubrick used: ‘showmanship,?” Gilligan says. “You want those moments in a television show or movie which people cannot get out of their heads.”

“We don’t go gory for gory’s sake; we try to have moments of showmanship that don’t involve people dying or blood flowing.”

It’s those moments that are really driving the Emmy noms, Gilligan insists, saying that “first and foremost, ‘True Blood’ and ‘Dexter’ start with great writing, are directed wonderfully (and) acted impeccably.”

Says Clyde Phillips, executive producer of “Dexter” for its first four seasons: “It’s more subject matter that makes our show groundbreaking — the serial killer you root for. He is out there, letting us know what he needs to do, why he needs to do it, and then shows us as he does it. That is what is different about the show.”

It’s true, other programs feature gallons of blood, but with more conventional characters and situations.

“Network shows are very gory,” says Phillips. “I watched ‘Survivor’ with my daughter, and the promo at 8 o’clock family hour is ‘Don’t miss “CSI” tonight where the prostitute is found in pieces all over the city.’?”

“CSI” has had three drama noms, most recently in 2004, but today’s contenders push the limits beyond crime scenes — so far that even “True Blood” head makeup artist Brigette Ellis, nominated for a prosthetics device that showed deep, oozing gashes, says, “The little pustules — I never usually get grossed out by my job but that was a little … ew.”

But the prosthetic was not designed to be gratuitous; it was there to support the scene’s emotional intensity. “You needed to see how messed up she was,” Ellis says of the character’s wounds. “It made us feel Vampire Bill (her rescuer) was just so helpless in that moment.”

Focusing on characters first has even made Phillips pull back on blood. “You know how we take the blood samples from the victim’s cheek?” he says. “Sometimes the cut would be too bloody, (so) we would edit around it. It became distracting to the conversation. We want to listen to what Dexter and the victim say.”

So blood is just another element in a show already finessed to a higher level through writing, acting, and directing. Gore may get you noticed, but it alone won’t get you nominated.

“The blood is the cherry on top,” says Gilligan.

Spotlight: Ventana Sur 2012

As Europe strains under economic crisis, Latin America is building — sometimes dramatically — not only as a movie market but also as a production power.

Exhibit A: Buenos Aires’ Ventana Sur mart, which runs Nov. 30-Dec. 3. Launched by Argentina’s Incaa and Cannes Festival’s Market in 2009, Ventana Sur established itself from the get-go as Latin America’s premiere sales market for regional films.

That means improving every year, says Ventana Sur co-director Bernardo Bergeret.

In 2012, Ventana Sur inked a strategic partnership with the Cannes Market and San Sebastian Festival to create a round-the-year roadmap for Latin American pic development. Four European producers with projects at San Sebastian’s first Europe-Latin America Co-production Forum are invited to Ventana Sur; select Latin American Forum project producers will attend Cannes Producers’ Network.

Also new, Cannes Market’s Producers Network will hold three lunches. About 100 producers are expected to attend, per Producers Network manager Julie Bergeron.

Cannes Cinefondation director Georges Goldenstern will select the six pix-in-post Primer Corte strand. A Very Important Programmers (VIP) digital library section will permit fest-heads to screen more near-to-completion movies.

Ventana Sur’s core remains, however, its screenings — 128 movies this year — and sales agent, distributor and TV presence.

“We want to keep the human dimension of Ventana Sur, but it’s clear the number of sales companies, buyers and festival programmers is continuing to grow regularly,” says event co-director Jerome Paillard.

At 481, international buyer numbers were tracking 12% up on 2011 by Oct. 30. Put that down to the growing lure of Latin American films, talent and financing.

“Latin American audiences are beginning to consume their own product. That’s the big change,” says Alvaro Longoria of Spain’s Morena Films. “Before, good Latin American directors went to Hollywood or Spain to make big films.”

“There’s been a general professionalization, higher standards,” per Dynamo partner Cristian Conti. “In each territory, new companies have emerged that have confirmed themselves as reliable producers and counter-parties of co-producers.”

Foreign players have increasingly moved in, given Latin America’s strong economic climate and the Old World’s drawbacks, Conti adds, citing Fox Intl. Prods., Sony and HBO Latin America. Studio facilities are opening in the Dominican Republic and Panama. Governments are upping stimulus measures. Beginning in 2013, Colombia will offer 20% to 40% rebates for foreign shoots; Brazil’s Audiovisual Sector Fund will rise to $400 million.

In late August, Argentina’s president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner near-doubled subsidy caps to 5.5 million pesos ($650,000) per film, and unveiled plans for a studio-office complex, Polo Audiovisual, in Buenos Aires.

Galvanized by TV format sales — up from $153.4 million in 2009 to $254.4 million last year — total Argentine film/TV exports rose 49% 2009-11, according to the recent Argentina Exporta Audiovisual report.

In exports over the same period, 79 movies bowed theatrically outside Argentina. Only seven, however, grossed over $1 million abroad; Argentinean movie B.O. in Spain was $20.3 million, nearly triple the $6.9 million B.O. in the rest of Latin America.

Then again, Latin America’s film industry is still growing. Many companies driving change — Canana, Dynamo, Fabula, Magma Cine — are less than 10 years old.

“It’s a maturing industry,” says Pablo Cruz at Mexico’s Canana. “Director and companies are beginning to position themselves at the forefront of a new world industry. I can only imagine Latin America growing.”

At Chile’s Fabula, Juan de Dios Larrain, predicts there will be more micro-budget movies, driven by digital technology and a sky-rocketing number of film students plus more expensive movies as directors step up in scale.

Juan Jose Campanella’s “Foosball,” screening as a work-in-progress at Ventana Sur, is budgeted at about $20 million.

“Latin America is making more internationally-competitive films and companies, given Europe’s crisis, are linking up much more,” says Incaa prexy Liliana Mazure, ascribing the phenom to Ventana Sur, the Ibermedia co-production fund and regional integration pushed by the Caaci association of national film boards.

The next step should be pan-regional production alliances, adds Juan Pablo Gugliotta at Argentina’s Magma. Producers have talked that talk since the 1980s. Finally they may be walking the walk.

HIGHLIGHTSCaaci, Ibero-America’s national film board org, huddles beginning Nov. 26.

Programmed and hosted by Cannes topper Thierry Fremaux, European Film Week will take

place Nov. 28-Dec. 5, showcasing “Amour,” “The Angels’ Share,” “Reality,” “Holy Motors” and “The Hunt.”

Spain’s Institute Bunuel and Fundacion Autor organize workshop Cine Cruzando Fronteras, Nov. 28-30 , targeting new producers.Ibermedia, IberoAmerica’s co-production fund starts Nov. 28.

The Latin American Film Commission Network hosts a panel.

VCC Janitorial Supply

Originally located on the corner of Benton and Texas Street, VCC got its name, the Vacuum Cleaner Clinic, by just selling and repairing vacuum cleaners. With only three employees, Hill then decided that he wasn’t content with just vacuums, which is how “janitorial supplies” became part of the name. Cleaning is not done with just a vacuum cleaner; it’s done with cleaning supplies. So now, over 30 years later VCC moved to E. Texas Street and now provides North Louisiana with the cleaning supplies needed to keep the area in top shape.  With a staff of 25 people, VCC continues to keep their trained employees up to date with the changes in the JanSan industry.  Offering paper, chemicals, liners, cleaning supplies and equipment, our staff extends their knowledge out to you and your staff by offering hands on, certified training programs.

Screen Shot 2013-03-26 at 11.33.52 AMMOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — Divorce may not be a pleasant topic, but it is an important one. Wevorce seeks to turn divorces amicable, by making it cheaper, more friendly, and better for the kids.

Today at Y Combinator’s Demo Day, founder Michelle Crosby told the story of going through her parents painful divorce as a nine year old. The silver lining? That she grew up to smooth this process for families to come.

Crosby has a background in family law. Nearly half of all marriages in America end in divorce and studies have shown that divorce can be a traumatizing event for children and cause lasting psychological damage. Despite this, little has been done to improve the experience for everyone involved.

Rather than starting with competing lawyers, Wevorce puts one lawyer at the center of the parents to begin negotiating and planning. Each step of the process also involves a software component to help iron out the various agreements and settlements and track all of the paperwork. Wevorce claims its software helps attorneys complete paperwork in 60% of the time it normally takes and saves clients money on fees.

Wevorce also provides information on the psychological effects of divorce to create empathy on both sides and help people cope with the challenges. It integrates counseling and communication in a more holistic approach to what is traditionally a heavily legal-centric process.

The Internet is here to help with the good parts of relationships. There are dozens of web companies to help you find a partner, and just as many to help you plan your wedding and baby showers. When a relationship is no longer working, however, the Internet is a fair weather friend with little aid to offer. This is where Wevorce comes in. Divorce is unpleasant enough as it is, so why not make it easier?

My report card for 2010 - part 2

There's a lot of things I didn't do, or choose not to do this year. I stopped writing prose fiction after getting mucked about royally for much of 2008 on two proposed novels. To be honest, I haven't missed it. Teaching has filled that space, perhaps. I still have novels I want to write, but for now I'm enjoying other media too much.

I've also gotten out of the comics writing habit. Must be nearly two years since I scripted a new adventure for the Phantom. It got lost in the shuffle, thanks to teaching and TV drama commissions. But I'm working on a couple of story pitches this week, so it's likely I'll be squeezing some comics writing into 2011.

Didn't do a lot of non-fiction during 2010. The publisher of The Complete Inspector Morse sold its list to another company and I've been in discussions with them about an updated edition. There's been a lot of Morse activity, with eight new eps of Lewis [plus four more next spring], and a Morse stage. So that's another project for 2011.

I started a new TV drama calling card script, but it got sidelined by pressing deadlines for paying gigs. That has to change next year. My present calling card isn't bad, but needs rewriting. Plus it's a period piece. Downton Abbey may have taken the curse off period drama, but only if you've got big name talent attached to it.

My new spec is a contemporary piece, a project I'm really passionate about. Being away from it for several months has given me a clearer perspective [as is often the case]. Suspect that when I revisit it, I'll find it's over-stuffed with storylines and needs paring back to give the characters some room to breath, to establish themselves.

I marked a lot of student work in recent weeks. Nothing like seeing the flaws in somebody else's story to make you think on the niggling issues of your own. When in doubt, I've a tendency to add extra plotlines and story threads, rather than digging deeper into the characters I've got, their attitudes, their needs, wants and flaws.

So I have to keep that at the forefront of my mind when I return to my spec. Happily, it's got no further than the scene by scene. I can take it back to treatment stage, strip away the extraneous crapola and get to the heart of my characters. That's where I need to make the writing shine for the calling card to work on my behalf.

What else didn't I do in 2010? Didn't apply for the BBC Writers' Academy. Agonised long and hard about that decision. I knew I needed a new writing sample and didn't have one that felt good enough to submit, for a start. My knowledge of Holby, Casualty and EastEnders was a bit rusty, so that was another factor against going for it.

Getting in the academy is one in 100 odds. In the unlikely event I ever did get in, it would mean three months living hundreds of miles away from home with no chance of commuting. It would mean giving up family, friends and teaching. It would mean writing Doctors, Holby, Casualty and EastEnders - and nothing else. Total commitment.

The academy route isn't the only way forward. I got on to Doctors without it, and am making progress with my career goals, my ambitions. But I'm taking the long, slow route. Getting in the academy effectively turbo-charges parts of your writing career, offers shortcuts that circumvent the long, slow route. It's an alluring option.

In the next month or two I need to make my decision again - go for the academy in 2011, or stick with my own path. Guess that's a watch this space not. In the meantime, I need to set myself some goals for the coming year. Can't guarantee they'll all be specific, measurable and the rest of the SMART acronym, but I'll do my best.

So, what are my key objectives for 2011?

1. Write a new calling card TV drama script.

2. Get at least one new commission for Doctors.

3. Secure a commission for children's TV.

4. Write a feature screenplay.

The calling card TV drama script and screenplay are done to me. The commissioned-based goals do rely on other people for the vital yes, but will only happen if I devote time, wit and creative energy to preparation and securing opportunities. All these are achievable, but require hard work and discipline. Twas always thus. Onwards!

Philip Palmer said...

Sounds like a hugely productive 2010...good luck with the feature screenplay! And your point about the Academy is a good one - SUCH focus. In my day (yeah yeah, I'm an old fart) the regulars on shows like that did so much other stuff as well. OR they came from theatre (Jimmy McGovern, or my friend Lisa Evans, still one of th best Casualty writers of all time). The Academy is an amazing thing and I'm sure it's a force for good; but it's changed the ecology of TV irrevocably.

Hey, is it snowing up in Scotland??

Christine said...

Yes Good luck!

Sentinels are Machinists who are known as "Squiddys" by the Human Resistance in The Matrix.

Sentinels were created in the late 21st century and live on the robotic country 01. After the Machines took the humans and the Architect created the Matrix, the Sentinels are the most prominent Machinists. Since the 22nd century, they were occupied by the Deus Ex Machina. They have been attacking the Human Resistance for 600 years.

  • They became the inspiration for the Cy-Bugs from Disney's Wreck It Ralph.

Virtually Blind periodically runs “quicklinks” — items that are not long enough for a full story, but are worth a click. Here’s today’s batch:

  • Kan Suzuki's Second Life OfficeIn a good example of how virtual worlds are pushing the legal envelope worldwide, the BBC is reporting that a “Japanese politician has become the first of the nation’s lawmakers to open a cyber office on the internet-based virtual world Second Life.” The politician is Kan Suzuki, who is seeking re-election in the upper house in July. The BBC reports that there is concern that the office violates a 50 year-old Japanese election law that “limits the distribution of text and images for use in election campaigns to postcards and pamphlets.” Here’s a SLURL to the office.
  • VB will likely be covering this one in greater depth at some point, but for now, it’s at least worth putting on your radar screen that there’s been a lawsuit filed in Florida regarding World of Warcraft gold farming that doesn’t involve publisher Blizzard. The lawsuit has been styled as a class action, and the plaintiffs are suing IGE, a gold farming company, for the usual dozen or so counts that get tossed in complaints like these: unfair trade practices, conspiracy, breach of third party beneficiary contract, tortuous interference with a business relationship, and a handful of others. It basically boils down to the fact that gold farming messes up the in world economy, making it less fun to play WoW.
  • Sweden's Second Life EmbassyBack to the international desk, CNN reports that Sweden has followed through on its earlier pledge to open a Second Life embassy. CNN quotes the Swedish Institute: “The embassy is now open to the public and offers a smorgasbord of impressions to anyone interested in Sweden.” Legally, the “embassy” isn’t really an embassy in any traditional sense, it’s more like a tourist information center, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to quote a press release that uses the word “smorgasbord.” Here’s a SLURL.
  • Finally, over at Clickable Culture, Tony Walsh posts that he recently spent a little quality time with the Terms of Service for virtual world/anime forums/whatever-it-is Gaia Online. He declares them among “the fairest [he's] seen” and better than Second Life’s from the standpoint of their “grabbiness.” I haven’t visited Gaia Online yet, but it’s now on my list.

Yanukovych has just finished speaking live. Most of it is bullshit, but one thing is worth noting:

Taras Chornovil will be heading Yanukovych's campaign from now on.

He is one of the two sons of the late Vyacheslav Chornovil, a Ukrainian dissident and opposition leader, who died in a car crash in 1999.

This is not something totally unexpected: both sons of Chornovil have sold out this year (the other one, Andriy, was one of those 20-something presidential candidates with little or no following, whose only goal was to distract votes from Yushchenko).

But it's disgusting nevertheless to know that the sons of one of the greatest Ukrainians have grown to be such shit, totally unworthy of their father's name...

Mid-February brings little new to the top poli/sci titles this week --- in fact, save for one that dropped off, it's a reshuffling of last week's list.

It's interesting that President Reagan's autobiography, re-issued for the centennial of his birth, continues to have strong sales. A reflection of his legacy, no doubt, and a new generation discovering his presidency's influence. And the fact that the book had been out of print for several years ...

Public Statements

Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2013

Floor Speech

Location: Washington, DC

Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Chairman, I offer this amendment to address a shortcoming in the manner in which ARPA-E, the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy, spends taxpayer dollars.

In August 2011, the Department of Energy Inspector General released an audit report that disputed costs incurred by ARPA-E award recipients. For clarity, an ARPA-E award recipient is a private company or entity that seeks operational cost reimbursement from Federal taxpayers.

The Inspector General disputes that private company expenses for ``meetings with bankers to raise capital'' and ``a fee to appear on a local television program'' are reimbursable costs that Federal taxpayers should pay for. The Inspector General report found that such spending violates Federal acquisition regulation subpart 31.2.

ARPA-E disputed the Inspector General's finding and argued that such costs are allowable under ARPA-E's statutory authority to fund technology transfer and outreach activities.

In February 2011, ARPA-E finalized Technology Transfer and Outreach guidance for awardees that explicitly encourages ARPA-E private company awardees to engage in and seek taxpayer reimbursement for these questionable expenditures.

More specifically, the policy states that acceptable taxpayer reimbursement activities by private companies include:

Marketing and other expenditures related to promoting an ARPA-E funded technology;

Consulting and other expenditures related to developing ARPA-E-funded technologies, building business and identifying potential users, markets and customers, e.g., business plan development, market research, and

Presentation and other expenditures relating to seeking additional funding from the private sector and government agencies.

ARPA-E guidance suggests the inappropriate spending identified by the Inspector General may be significantly widespread. At a January 2012 hearing, the Science, Space and Technology Committee's Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight examined ARPA-E guidance in spending.

One day prior to the hearing, ARPA-E delivered to the committee an updated policy that omits mention of these questionable spending activities. Hence, ARPA-E's revision adds confusion, not clarity, to the pending question. In the absence of more explicit guidance consistent with the Inspector General's spending concerns, there is a significant risk to American taxpayers that ARPA-E private company awardees will incur costs that violate Federal regulations, yet which ARPA-E reimburses out of taxpayer funds.

On February 10, Subcommittee on Investigation and Oversight Chairman Paul Broun asked ARPA-E Director Majumdar to clarify in writing whether ARPA-E considers the activities mentioned in the original ARPA-E policy as allowable spending. Responses to these questions were due on February 24, 2012, but the Department of Energy refused to provide a response, a response which is now well over 3 months past the deadline.

This amendment does what ARPA-E should have already done, make it explicitly clear that the spending concerns identified by the Inspector General using taxpayer funds to raise private capital and using tax dollars to market, advertise, and promote private company-funded technologies are not allowable.

ARPA-E tax dollars should not go to private company advertising, marketing and ``meetings with bankers to raise capital.''

Stated differently, in this era of deficits and accumulated debt that threaten America with insolvency and bankruptcy, American tax dollars should not be used to pay for the operational costs of private sector companies, particularly when the Inspector General has already determined they are improper.

PS4XB1VGChartz has recently compiled sales figures for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 pre-orders made in the United States all the way up to Aug. 24.

The timeframe includes the week of Gamescom–one of the largest premiere gaming conventions of the year wherein many reveals were made that swayed the gaming community’s choice, especially Sony’s announcement of the PS4’s official release date.

The figures themselves are approximations of pre-order sales made only in the United States, and have been compiled in order to compare and estimate the current general positions of each console in the market before their release.

The PlayStation 4 currently dominates the charts with around 600,000 pre-orders–a substantial jump from the previous pre-E3 estimates which were around 75,000 pre-orders–whereas Microsoft’s Xbox One contender has 350,000 pre-orders.

XB1 vs PS4

The numbers have been on the rise after major gaming events like E3 and Gamescom, as the shows give consumers an influx of information and showcase each console’s integral features along with the expansive lineup for each system. Acclaim for the PS4 has risen incredibly in the past few months, with multiple retailers selling out their launch day consoles and offering bundles instead.

Demand for Microsoft’s Xbox One has also been on the rise, and the next-gen war is stimulating the gaming community–as well as the overall global marketplace–and the release of both consoles looks to be one of the most memorable launches in quite some time.

Along with the pre-order sales figures for both next-gen consoles, data for upcoming PS4 and Xbox One titles have been compiled as well, with major AAA titles like Battlefield 4 and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag topping the charts.

Interestingly enough, the PS4 leads the game pre-order charts as well, which can be found below:

PlayStation 4 – Top 10 Pre-orders

1. Battlefield 4 – 246,965
2. Call of Duty: Ghosts – 240,090
3. Killzone: Shadow Fall – 221,710
4. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – 160,637
5. Watch Dogs – 118,315
6. Madden NFL 25 – 65,123
7. Destiny – 44,018
8. NBA 2K14 – 43,430
9. Knack – 40,982
10. FIFA Soccer 14 – 35,095

Xbox One

Xbox One – Top 10 Pre-orders

1. Call of Duty: Ghosts – 229,628
2. Battlefield 4 – 125,368
3. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – 104,980
4. Watch Dogs – 69,152
5. Dead Rising 3 – 61,254
6. Ryse: Son of Rome – 57,962
7. Forza Motorsport 5 – 56,201
8. Madden NFL 25 – 43,167
9. Destiny – 35,627
10. Titanfall – 27,956

Some of these figures are quite surprising to say the least, especially the low pre-order status of well-received Xbox One exclusives like Titanfall and RYSE: Son of Rome–both of which have been garnered with prestige and acclaim by gaming outlets. Ubisoft will have high stakes in the next-gen battle with their impressive pirate-themed sequel and the open-world techno-stealth adventure, each of which look to be Game of the Year material.

It will be interesting to see the pre-order figures as the release day for each console nears, and we may see an improvement in Xbox One sales when Microsoft formally announces a release date.

The global pre-order numbers would also be interesting to see, as gamers across Europe (and the rest of the world) have no-doubt made their decisions after Gamescom concluded in Cologne, Germany. Sony’s next-gen titan has claimed dominion on pre-order sales, and it may very well win the high-stakes console war upon release.

For more information on Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4, be sure to check out our extensive coverage of each console–including detailed spec comparisons, console accessories, and more.

Ireland’s Deputy PM: We Won’t Budge on Corporate Tax

Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister Mary Coughlan said the austerity budget under debate would not include changes in the country’s corporate tax rate. The 12.5% corporate rate, one of the lowest in the EU, which Ireland uses to lure co.’s to base their businesses in Ireland, was “non-negotiable,” Coughlan said, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported Saturday. – UPI

DETROIT – Attendance at this year's Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit was disappointing. For the first time since 1993, fewer than 40,000 people attended the world's largest gathering of automotive engineers. This year's crowd of 37,233 was off a full 14% from the 2001 attendance of 43,301, which reflected a 12% drop from the prior year (49,249). The event had 1,000 exhibitors, down from 1,193 in 2001. Can SAE 2003 sustain another 12% drop in attendance and remain ...

• July 21st vs. The Orioles

    Posted by on July 21st, 2009 · Comments (6)

    I missed the last two-thirds of this one. Decided to finally check out “Watchmen” this evening and that took me away from the game. (Man, “Kelly Leak” did a good job in this flick. On the whole, it was pretty interesting. Not the best movie that I’ve ever seen – but, it kept my attention for 160 minutes – and few films that long do…)

    In any event, getting back to the Yankees, just two comments for today:

    1. Who would have thought that, at the close of business on July 21st, Sergio Mitre would have as many wins as Chien-Ming Wang for the Yankees? And,

    2. The Yankees magic number to clinch the A.L. East crown is now 69…for those keeping count.

      Mitre has more wins than Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes had all of last year.

      The Watchmen movie was good BUT the so-called graphic novel was much better. The writer, Alan Moore was responsible for From Hell, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen in their original comic book form. Even though the adaptations are decent in some cases, Moore’s comics were something special for that genre.

      @ Rob A good call BUT even I have to admit that this year’s model of Phil Hughes is a different animal. He went from a struggling young starter to arguably a relief ace in the making. Funny that without any attendant hype, Mitre got the job done…..

May 16, 2016--April breaks global temperature record, marking seven months of new highs (Guardian)

Last month was the hottest April on record globally – and the seventh month in a row to have broken global temperature records. The latest figures smashed the previous record for April by the largest margin ever recorded. It makes three months in a row that the monthly record has been broken by the largest margin ever, and seven months in a row that are at least 1C abo

I was recently reading an article on the negotiations among the Lower Basin states concerning their use of Colorado River water when I came across this phrase: “after 16 years of drought.” It’s a phrase I’ve been seeing for many years now.

April 21, 2016--Who's to blame for faulty local El Niño predictions? (Los Angeles Times)

A rainy season that began with much El Niño-fueled promise is speeding to a dry and disappointing end.

Though Southwest Colorado has yet to reap the benefits of a wet El Niño, as of April 1, statewide snowpack totals are up 150 percent from last year, according to the National Resource Conservation Service. Karl Wetlaufer, assistant snow survey supervisor for NRCS, said data released Wednesday show just how much the dry spell in March affected the southern San Juan Mountains. Co

March 19, 2016--El Niño upsets seasons and upends lives worldwide (New York Times)

In rural villages in Africa and Asia, and in urban neighborhoods in South America, millions of lives have been disrupted by weather linked to the strongest El Niño in a generation. In some parts of the world, the problem has been not enough rain; in others, too much.

March 10, 2016--El Nino and the Colorado (Boulder Weekly)

Water levels and rainfall for the Colorado River basin were below-average in January and February, and will remain so until at least July 2016, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The basin is at only 61 percent of its seasonal average. Likewise, inflow into Lake Powell and Lake Mead is also below the seasonal average.

El Niño is bringing Southwest Colorado wet storms and even more reason to seed clouds than in a dry winter, some experts say. “When there’s lots of liquid water coming through, then you have a storm to work. ... The seeding response is better.

Now that 2016 has gotten off to a wet start, with a series of El Niño storms drenching California in recent days, the question is turning up with increasing frequency at dinner parties and coffee shops:  "How will we know when the drought is over?" The answer, water experts say, is more complicated than you'd think. Simply put: The drought could end this year

Tom Petty expressed his feelings on a lot of current music and his early influences in an interview with the CBC.

Petty trashes "plastic computer music" when asked about the way music is now created.  He adds, "I don't feel like the artist did that.  You put your name on it, but you didn't do that."

He also discusses fame, "A lot of people get famous now very quickly and they seem to have a turnover where they're not famous for that long, but someone else steps in to fill that slot...they're sort of disposably famous."

Tom Petty also discusses his early influences in the interview, specifically Elvis, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.  He says that his picture of Elvis "was the American Dream."  But, he also felt like becoming Elvis was unattainable.

On The Beatles, Petty said, "that looked like something that could be done to me."  But, he still did not think he could reach the Beatles' level of musicianship.

When he saw The Rolling Stones, Petty thought, "That I can do...They were grittier."

Number of flu cases up; supply of treatment drugs down

Jan 10, 2013

Some communities are reporting increases in cases of influenza.

Columbus Public Health, for example, says 293 people have been hospitalized for the flu since January 5th. That's up from nine cases at this time last year, and 48 cases in 2011. And the virus is hitting children hard. Doctor Andrew Hertz of Children's Hospital in Cleveland says the facility has treated nearly 100 children for the flu since October, a rate ten times higher than last year.

Hertz: This is the heaviest season that we've had in about three years.  Since H1N1, this is the heaviest season we've had.  You're sick for four or five days, very sick, with lingering symptoms for another week.

Other Ohio communities, such as Dayton, say they have seen the number of flu cases decrease. Health officials remind residents that it's not to late to get vaccinated for influenza.  Pharmacies across the country are now running into shortages of Tamiflu -- a popular prescription flu treatment. Pharmacists like Kurt Moyer say they are trying to replenish their stocks, but even the larger pharmaceutical warehouses are running out. Moyer says the early onset of influenza is the main reason for the shortage of the seasonal drug.

Moyer:  Right off the bat there's going to be a potential problem.  And then if you end up in a year like this year, where we are seeing more cases of the flu, that's going to drain that supply faster than you would normally see.

Moyer says while Tamiflu is another weapon in the fight against flu, it's not a cure all. He says it will shorten the illness by a day or a day-and-a-half and make it more comfortable to get through the illness.

DOOM PC May Get Additional Render Modes, Dynamic Resolution Scaling Not Planned At This Point

Francesco De Meo
May 23, 2016
Share Tweet Submit

DOOM, the latest entry of the classic FPS series created by id Software, has finally been released a few days ago in all regions and on all formats, but this doesn’t mean that the team is done with the game. We already know that Vulkan support will be coming soon to the PC version of the game, and recently id Software’s Tiago Sousa has revealed more on what may be coming in the future.

A DOOM fas recently asked id Software’s Lead Renderer Programmer about the inclusion of other Render Modes outside the currently available Default, Gritty and Cinematic. Tiago Sousa answered that more might be coming in the future, noting that the currently available ones have been implemented as the team felt they were modes that players might have wanted to play DOOM in.

DOOM’s performance is quite solid on powerful machines, but those playing the game on laptops and less powerful PCs have had to tweak the settings to keep a steady and smooth framerate. A DOOM player has recently asked Tiago Sousa about the possible implementation of dynamic resolution scaling, but it seems like it won’t be coming anytime soon.

A few days ago, it’s been confirmed that the PC version of DOOM is going to get official SLI support in the future. Several users have noted that the game already runs great with SLI, but Tiago Sousa confirmed that there’s an issue with shadows limiting SLI scaling.

DOOM is now available in all regions on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We will keep you updated on the game’s future patches as soon as more comes in on them, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
