Movie Review: 'Wreck-It Ralph' Reaches a New Level - Mission ...

Seventeen years ago, Disney and Pixar released the innovative film Toy Story,? which used a now common technique ? CGI animation ? to tell a simple but clever story about a kid?s toys that come to life when he?s not in his room.

Now Disney has moved its storytelling to another fantasy realm, showing viewers independent-thinking video game characters. Wreck-It Ralph is much like Toy Story in that we are watching children's playthings that live their own lives in secret. But Rich Moore?s family film adds a new element.

In a world revolving around an arcade, Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) is a video game bad guy who wishes he were good. On a dare from his game partners, Ralph travels to other video game worlds, such as "Hero?s Duty" and "Sugar Rush," to try and win a medal like a hero. Unfortunately, Ralph lives up to his name and ends up unintentionally wreaking havoc in the games and now has to save the day with the help of Vanellope (Sarah Silverman), Sgt. Calhoun (Jane Lynch) and Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer).

Alan Tudyk and Mindy Kaling also provide voices of supporting characters in "Sugar Rush." Wreck-It Ralph is a cute little family film to enjoy on a weekend afternoon that is filled with homages to old school video games for grown-up gamers, but it has a story structure enjoyable for all ages. Reilly, Silverman and Tudyk shine with their vocal performances and though no longer revolutionary, the CGI is pretty spectacular.

Gas rationing begins in NY as power outages abate

NEW YORK (AP) ? A new gasoline rationing plan that lets motorists fill up every other day went into effect in New York on Friday morning, as utility crews made some progress erasing outages that put thousands of homes and businesses in the dark in a region still reeling from Superstorm Sandy.

Police were at gas stations to enforce the new system in New York City and on Long Island. Drivers were out before dawn to line up for their rations.

"This is designed to let everybody have a fair chance, so the lines aren't too oppressive and that we can get through this," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Only a quarter of the city's gas stations were open Thursday, the mayor said. Some were closed because they were out of power, others because they can't get fuel from terminals and storage tanks that can't unload their cargo.

Near a still-closed auto tunnel linking Manhattan and Brooklyn early Friday, cab and delivery truck drivers ? exempt from the rationing system ? eyed with dismay a line of closed gas stations.

"Hey, when's the gas coming?" one driver hollered, to honking horns. "Tomorrow, we hope," the attendant replied, shrugging his shoulders.

The nor'easter brought gusting winds, rain and snow on Wednesday and early Thursday before it moved on. Snow blanketed several states from New York to New England and stymied recovery efforts from Superstorm Sandy as additional storm-weakened trees snapped and more power lines came down.

Thousands of utility customers, mostly in New York and New Jersey, have been left waiting for their electricity to come back on ? and some are losing patience, demanding investigations of utilities they say aren't working fast enough.

An angry Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined the calls for an investigation Thursday, ripping the utilities as unprepared and badly managed.

"It's unacceptable the longer it goes on because the longer it goes on, people's suffering is worse," he said.

Cuomo appears to be all by himself among the New York area's big three politicians. Bloomberg defended the city's power company, Consolidated Edison, and said it has done a good job in recent years. And New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie praised the utilities, saying he expects all of his state to have power back by early Sunday.

The utilities have said they are dealing with damage unprecedented in its scope and are doing the best they can. And there is no denying the magnitude of what they have done: At the peak, more than 8.5 million homes and businesses across 21 states lost power during Sandy.

Early Friday, there were more than 220,000 outages left in the New York area, mostly on Long Island, and about 250,000 in New Jersey. Almost all Connecticut residents had lights again, down from 625,000 at the storm's height.

Still, some people have lived for days in the dark in temperatures near freezing.

"We lost power last week, just got it back for a day or two, and now we lost it again," said John Monticello of Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. "Every day it's the same now: turn on the gas burner for heat. Instant coffee. Use the iPad to find out what's going on in the rest of the world."

The mounting criticism of utility companies came as the Federal Emergency Management Agency started bringing mobile homes into the region and Cuomo said the storm could cost New York State alone $33 billion.

New Jersey did not have a damage estimate of its own, but others have put Sandy's overall toll at up to $50 billion, making it the second most expensive storm in U.S. history, behind Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans in 2005.

In New York City and Long Island, the gas rationing followed New Jersey's lead nearly a week ago in a move meant to deal with fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations.

Officials said something had to be done to ease long waits for fuel, which they say has caused panic-buying and hoarding. The system took effect at 5 a.m. Friday on Long Island and at 6 a.m. in New York City.

Gas is available to drivers with license-plate numbers ending in an odd number or a letter on Friday. On Saturday, drivers with license plates that end in even numbers or zero can fuel up.

Buses, taxes and limousines, commercial vehicles and emergency vehicles are exempt from the plan, as are people carrying portable gas cans. Vanity plates that don't have numbers are considered odd-numbered plates. Out-of-state drivers are also subject to the system.

Bloomberg said the shortages could last another couple of weeks.

North America Turning Socialist with Mexico's Nieto. - Chicago Gold ...

America's Obama and Mexico's Nieto give North America Two Socialist Leaders

Newely elected Mexican President Pena Nieto

The continent of North America saw two huge steps toward a socialist movement. President Obama was reelected two days ago to serve as President for 4 more years. Meanwhile America's neighbor to the south Mexico elected Pena Nieto last summer. Both have socialiast ties and socialist policies. Some may feel, I am too forward to label those two socialist. However, in my opinion, a country can only have one of two economic systems- either socialism or capitalism. Freedom or tyranny. Remember, my definition of socialism is the public ownership of the means of production. Once a government interferes with the free market, it heads towards a path of socialism that builds a momentum that is so large that it is very difficult to reverse. Usually the only way to stop it is to have a total collapse. Two good examples of this is Nazi Germany run by Hitler and the former Soviet Union. Both regimes collapsed and had to start over.

With Pena Nieto of Mexico in charge, look for a Mexico that goes toward one party central government controlled rule, an expansion of their entitlement state to a nation that already has about 50% of its citizens living in poverty, more power to the already powerful state controlled energy companies like Pemex, and definitely pushing Mexico towards statism or estatism as I like to call it.

In order to fund these overaggressive and inefficient government projects look for Mexico's Central Bank the Banco De Mexico, to print even more fiat currency. When that happens, you will further impoverish the Mexican economy, create even more inflation, and create more state dependence by the people. The smart ones will go away from Fiat currency now and trade them for real money- such as silver and gold- before the policies of Nieto take full effect.

The History Of Wireless World | Gulmi Resunga.com

The History Of Wireless World

After an era of cables and wiring for networking and data exchange between PCs, it was time that computer developers came up with something more feasible and convenient. Garnering basic inspiration from radio signal transmission that revolutionised wireless communication, transmission of wireless data started from infrared communication. ?From ?humble beginnings of only a few bits per second in only select state of the art technology laboratories of its time in the early 1980s, it has now become one of the fastest and safest modes of communication. Today anything measured below megabits per second is considered slow and even in technologically backward countries like Nepal, speed of a few hundred kilobytes can be obtained. The upper limit is also constantly being challenged and is now set at a whopping 500 megabytes per second achieved in January 2010 in Siemens labs. Some of the popular and beneficial modes of wireless communication in the computer industry are as follows.?

Infrared

From night vision to thermal imaging, remote sensing and tracking, infrared prospered in the field of wireless communication as well. In the early years, infrared wireless communication was a huge sensation. Known as IR, this technology is based on the principal of harnessing energy of electromagnetic waves to send and receive data and relies on infrared LEDs which is?polarized?using a narrow modulated plastic beam. Infrared is commonly found in mobile phones for sharing contacts, images and other media objects. PCs with IR wireless installed in them can use this feature as well.?

Pros: Cheap,?
Cons: Short range (requires line of sight) less bandwidth.

Bluetooth

Pros: Low power consumption, compact
Cons: Low range, low transfer speed.?

Mobile Communications (3G/GPRS/CDMA)

Caffeine improves recognition of positive words

ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2012) ? Caffeine perks up most coffee-lovers, but a new study shows a small dose of caffeine also increases their speed and accuracy for recognizing words with positive connotation. The research published November 7 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Lars Kuchinke and colleagues from Ruhr University, Germany, shows that caffeine enhances the neural processing of positive words, but not those with neutral or negative associations.

Previous research showed that caffeine increases activity in the central nervous system, and normal doses of caffeine improve performance on simple cognitive tasks and behavioral responses. It is also known that certain memories are enhanced when strong positive or negative emotions are associated with objects, but the link between caffeine consumption and these emotional biases was unknown.

This study demonstrates, for the first time, that consuming 200 mg of caffeine, equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee, 30 minutes before a task can improve the implicit recognition of positive words, but has no effect on the processing of emotionally neutral or negative words. The authors suggest that this effect is driven by caffeine's strong dopaminergic effects in the language-dominant regions of the brain.

Best Buy pricing once again pegs Nokia Lumia 920 at $150 on-contract (update: now $99)

Seems like just a few days ago that Best Buy inadvertently outed its pricing of the Lumia 920. While the company eventually pulled its listing, its pricing for the upcoming Windows Phone is looking more solid than ever. You see, a shopper in Naples, Fla., was recently able to snag a photo of an in-store display that once again pegs the Lumia 920 at $150 with a two-year contract or $600 outright. Keep in mind that Best Buy's pricing may not be the same as AT&T's own offering, but it's worth putting this on your radar in the buildup to its debut -- especially if the Smurf shirt crew manages to come in cheaper.

Update: Following AT&T's official announcement this morning, Best Buy is following suit by pricing the Lumia 920 at $99. Company representatives tell us the smartphone will be available for pre-order at all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile locations beginning tomorrow, and the Lumia 920 will be available for purchase this Friday.
