The Nielsen numbers are out, and wow, they are good. Sarah Palin's speech, despite being carried on only six channels compared to Obama's ten, despite the lack of a huge venue or months of hype, was viewed by only a million fewer people than Barack Obama's Speech o' the Century.

The Sara Palin speech generated 37.2 million viewers, just a 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama's record-breaking speech on Day 4 of the Democratic Convention. The Palin speech was carried on only six networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (including BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo).

Palin attracted a large female audience (19.5 million women, or 4.9 million more than Day 3 of the Democratic Convention).

Ratings for viewers 55+ (25.2) continue to be about ten times higher than for teens (2.2)

Day 3 for the GOP attracted more Hispanic viewers (1.4 million) than Day 3 of the Democratic Convention (1.2 million), even though Univision and Telemundo did not carry the speech.

On September 4, 1888 Eastman registered the trademark Kodak. The letter "K" had been a favorite of Eastman's. He said, "[I]t seems a strong, incisive sort of letter".^[5] Eastman and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagram set. He used three principal concepts to create the name: it must be short, it could not be mispronounced, and it could not resemble anything else or be associated with anything but Kodak.^[6]

Scandals and gossip

There is something quite strange for someone bored by details of the privacy of others, to see the media, starting with those "serious", enjoyed with things, which are nothing else than gossip. What is surprising is the implacable march of something incredibly reactionary and normalizer.

It's not only that we know that this one (John Edwards) has cheated on his wife with this one, nor even that we know when and how... It's not only that we know that the daughter of this other one (Sarah Palin) is pregnant before to be married or that her husband was arrested more than 20 years ago for driving under the influence of alcohol... It's not only that there are people to peel biographies, investigate, reveal or create "scandals", and others to buy them, "friends" to be paid for their secrets and bargain their betrayal... in short, a whole system implying

White House Unveils $1 Billion Georgia Aid Plan

Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Wednesday with his wife, Lynne, left.

BAKU, Azerbaijan — President Bush proposed $1 billion in humanitarian and economic assistance on Wednesday to help rebuild Georgia after its short, disastrous war with Russia last month, but he stopped short of committing the United States to re-equipping its battered military.

clipper's remarks: So how far will another thousand years take it?

Clip Source: www.xibalba.demon.co.uk

Predicting the future of the English language is rather easy, in the short term. The odds are, over the next few decades its New World dialects are going to gain increasing global dominance, accelerating the demise of thousands of less fortunate languages but at long last allowing a single advertisement to reach everybody in the world. Then after a century or two of US dominance some other geopolitical grouping will gain the ascendancy, everyone will learn Chechen or Patagonian or whatever it is, and history will continue as usual. Ho hum. But apart from that... what might the language actually look like in a thousand years time? For comparison, the English spoken at the turn of the last millennium looked like this:

Wé cildra biddaþ þé, éalá láréow, þæt þú taéce ús sprecan rihte, forþám ungelaérede wé sindon, and gewæmmodlíce we sprecaþ...

We children beg you, teacher, that you should teach us to speak correctly, because we are ignorant and we speak corruptly...

Children’s Stationery

Sprinkles is a big proponent of instilling good habits in Children while they are young, hence we design Thank You notes and other childrens stationery that match many of our Birthday Invitations. Writing a short and sweet Thank You note is not only considerate, but it’s a good way to teach your child the importance of the hand-written letter. In this day and age, hand-writing letters is a rare and dying practice, yet it shows a special effort from the author to express thanks. Why not teach your children to do the same? If they write Thank You notes now, most likely it will become a habit they will keep for the rest of their lives.

How To Style African-American Hair

How to work with the hair you've got.

Ben Goldstein/Studio D

Work a texture cream through the ends of your hair. Take a flat iron and use a little heat at the roots so everything is straight and shiny.

Use a small curling iron on the ends to make them flip up a bit so you get a different sort of texture.

Run a shine serum through your hair for a more polished look.

MARIE CLAIRE RECOMMENDS

TEXTURE CREAM like Sexy Hair Concepts Short Sexy Hair Slept-In Texture Cream, $15.99.

CURLING IRON like Revlon Studio 35 Professional Styling Iron, $6.99.

SHINE SERUM like Citre Shine Shine Miracle Anti-Frizz Serum, $7.99.

Cross-dressing thief leaves fake breast behind

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Police in Port St. Lucie are on the lookout for a cross-dressing man who snatched a 74-year-old woman's purse. As if that weren't odd enough, they're depending on a strange clue. The suspect left behind a condom filled with water he had been using as a fake breast.

The woman said she believed the thief followed her while shopping. A witness told investigators he was wearing a short denim skirt and black tube top, and fled in a silver car with two other male crossdressers.

Police are processing the condom for fingerprint and DNA evidence.

What is RFID Edgeware?

clipper's remarks: Explanation of why future proofed systems use real time edgeware for RFID or any locating technology deploy - not middleware.

Clip Source: www.rfidtalk.com

Your problem is pretty well known; "because I didn't decide which tags and readers we'll acquire we can do nothing because I think technologies are different from maufacturer to an other."

In short, you need an 'edgeware' platform that will allow you to link into a variety of systems and into your network particularly because you are studying logistics so the goal is info from a variety of inputs not just RFID. Look to NCR's Transition works (Bridge now I think) or AppLocation's Mobilefusion - otherwise you will always be hammering together disparate pieces. Look for a platform NOT software.

NSFW? I Don’t Think So!!

There are only two kinds of people who would find this sort of beautiful photography innappropriate…
The first are women who feel that they cannot wear this type of swimsuit because of physical short commings.The second are males married to these types of women and sucking up because they are wimps.

As far as NSFW is concerned,all I can say is that I would not want to work for an employer who frowned on this sort of thing,company time aside.
The colors,the backgound and skin tones,the hair and the overall composition scream ARTISTIC!!!!

Hell,why not censor the web and bring back prohibition while we are at it.

Creating Safer Neighborhoods and Better Citizens

The primary goal of the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative (MPRI) is to promote public safety by increasing the success rates of prisoners transitioning from prison to the community. The vision of the MPRI is that every prisoner released from prison will have the tools needed to succeed in the community.

MPRI is a statewide strategic approach to create safer neighborhoods and better citizens.

MPRI delivers a seamless plan of services, support, and supervision from the time a prisoner enters prison through their return to a community.
