That's it. Same old picture from Building 44 in Mountain View. No cool picture of yours truly on the Las Vegas strip. No shot from the CES floor, or with a stack full of chips. Just the same ol' picture we're all tired of seeing. Being sick at CES sucks, more so than the inevitable plague that follows you home.
I don't have much more to say about CES that we haven't already said. I'm real curious to see how NVIDIA's Project Shield handheld gaming console thingy turns out. I'm not what I'd consider a gamer -- I generally pick up a new CoD every couple years, but my kids are now grown enough (yet still so very young) so that I feel I need to not play in front of them -- but there's a familiar feeling when you hold those controls. For good reason -- it's basically an slightly oversized Xbox controller. I got to spend a half-hour or so with it in Las Vegas -- read my initial thoughts here -- but can't help but wonder if it'll be priced to sell in any real numbers while lacking the pocketability of other handheld gaming systems.
Otherwise? It was kind of refreshing to not be buried under waves of phones that won't see release for months. (Though we did have about the same number of phones that likely will never see the light of day in the U.S.) Enough has been said about the relevance (or lack thereof) of CES, but I'll point you to John Biggs' TechCrunch piece about how maybe, just maybe, it's for all those start-ups who bought booth space in hopes of showing off their product or service. I agree completely. CES should be about the companies presenting at the show -- not placating the press, who's there on the company dime.
I've said it before, and I'm saying it here again now: Our team in Vegas did a bad-ass job. From Alex and Andrew and Anndrew, to Simon and all the other Mobile Nations folks on the ground, there's not much I would have done different this week. And that's about all this (usually not-so-humble) editor can ask for. Let's do it all again next year. Or next month, in Barcelona.
A few other thoughts to close out the week ...

Rep. Phil Gingrey?s attempts to explain Todd Akin?s rape remarks are leaving many Republicans beyond frustrated that a few in their party can?t help but insert rape into the already contentious abortion debate.
?This is actually pretty simple. If you?re about to talk about rape as anything other than a brutal and horrible crime, stop,? said Republican strategist Kevin Madden, who was a senior adviser in Mitt Romney?s campaign.

On Thursday, the Georgia Republican didn?t heed that advice, telling a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast that Akin was ?partially right? when he said last year that a woman can stop herself from getting pregnant.
?We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, ?Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don?t be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate,?? Gingrey said.
He also said that Akin?s definition of a ?non-legitimate rape? could be ?a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents.?
The comments were reported by the Marietta Daily Journal. Gingrey later said that he wasn?t trying to defend remarks by Akin or Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, and that his position was misconstrued ?in my attempt to provide context as to what I presumed they meant.?
But Gingrey?s lengthy explanation of what Akin meant was quickly circulated by Democrats, repudiated by medical groups, and had some Republicans smacking their heads in frustration.

And it may have added new urgency to a training program that?s already being launched by an anti-abortion group ? the Susan B. Anthony list ? to keep candidates and lawmakers from continually making the same kinds of comments that may have helped ruin Republicans? chances of winning the Senate.
Former Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.) questioned why Gingrey was talking about the months-old comment in the first place.
?There?s no way to defend what Todd Akin said,? Bono Mack said. ?You just can?t do it and you shouldn?t try to put it into a scientific context. It was a bad statement. And to try to defend it or explain someone else?s poor choice of words, it would be a fool?s errand.?
Bono Mack, who was first elected in 1998 but lost her reelection this fall, said some House Republicans don?t understand the full range of emotions associated with the abortion debate.
?It was my belief when I was in the Congress, and I tried to explain this to my colleagues: The abortion issue isn?t just about abortion. It?s about so much more. It?s about delving into what it means to women and what it means to Americans,? she said. For women, it means ?a loss of autonomy. To Americans, it means government intrusion into their lives.?
Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser said the lawmakers are falling for a trap set by proponents of abortion rights who want to focus the debate on extremes such as rape instead of other abortions.

Personal development is about taking action to improve yourself as a person. It focuses on improving knowledge and self-awareness, spiritual development and even through fulfilling your personal goals. This article is your source for top-flight self-improvement strategies. In the end, you?ll not only know yourself better, you?ll like yourself better.
Self discipline is required if you wish to do some work on yourself. Learn to develop a strong sense of self control. You can conquer many desires such as lust, drunkenness, or greed. You can keep vices from harming you in body and spirit if you learn to control yourself and resist them.
TIP! Become a more well-rounded person by developing your leadership qualities. Leadership has many different definitions, but the common theme is influence.Spend some time doing something that makes you happy. This simple lesson is to take initiative over your life, and to never step back and watch passively. Active participation in everyday matters is the only way to be alive in the world.
Place value on the best when it comes to personal development. Value the things you love the most and make them very important.
Establish a rainy day fund. This can help you to avoid always turning to your credit cards every time something unexpected arises. Putting a few dollars a week into an emergency fund will add up over time. You can get your debt moving in the right direction (that is, downward) by making use of that fund instead of credit.
TIP! You may have heard that listening is just as important as speaking. Listening definitely holds true for developing yourself.Strive to be the best at whatever it is you do. Follow your passions if you want to be truly great. Even though being the very best at what you do is out of the reach of most people, everyone can try to be an inspirational success in their particular field. Do the best you can at what you do, and bask in the pride it will bring you.
When beginning your self improvement plan, set attainable goals for the short term and long term. You can plan more effectively and enjoy a more accurate perspective on personal development when you have set long-term goals.
Pinpoint your personal values when you are crafting a self improvement plan. These are the areas that will have greater impact on your development instead of conflicting value areas. Instead, focus on all that is important in your life, and work to improve those things. Implementing a plan for self improvement can improve both your work and home life in the future.
TIP! A great coach is key to your success. All champions have great coaches and mentors, and it is important to have them.
Come up with a little pep talk for yourself. List the things that you love about yourself on a postcard. Keep the card in your purse or wallet, and pull it out every time you feel depressed and defeated or have a negative thought about yourself. Take it a step further and record yourself reading your list. This might sound silly but it really helps.
Improving your health is an important aspect of personal development. Eating right and working out are part of the equation, but motivation is the real key. Good health is necessary for you to be able to focus on other things.
If you are in the process of self development, it can be a blow to fail but keep going. However, failing at something really just gives you an opportunity to learn and grow. You now have a better understanding of your weaknesses and know what you need to work on more. In this way, each failure needs to be something that you feel good about, because you are learning more about your true self.
TIP! Regardless of your surroundings, you should be ready to record ideas when they come to mind. Keep a small notepad and pen with you at all times.
Self improvement requires you to become more aware of the events in your life. The information in the above article can help you determine which of your methods are working and those which may need some revamping. Write down the processes you use on a regular basis and record changes that occur.

Mommy blogs are enjoying a surge in popularity, and are part and parcel of renewed interest in domesticity, localism, and the family in some sectors of the country. Cville has a story on these blogs, and makes the point that they fill in a domestic educational void left by the decline in extended families, home economics classes, and other institutions that used to teach young adults how to run a household.?They also lend status to stay-at-home mothers, as I noted in my comments to the author:
Mommy Blogs, with their gorgeous depictions of ordinary home interiors, their celebration of family-centered living, and their recipes not only for good meals but also for good parenting, have moved into this gap with a vengeance, making stay-at-home momdom hip.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Xiao Liwu, the newest surviving giant panda born in captivity in the United States, made his public debut on Thursday at the San Diego Zoo by shunning the media but shining for the public.
During an hour-long, pre-opening introduction to the media and zoo volunteers, the 6-month-old, 16-pound male cub rolled in mud and hay, ignoring visitors, then climbed into a moat at the edge of the enclosure and fell asleep on his face.
He woke up once the public arrived and poured on the charm, climbing a tree and posing for photos.
Giant pandas are endangered, and experts estimate there are fewer than 1,600 in the wild, all in the mountain forests of central China.
Xiao Liwu (pronounced zhai lee-woo), which means little gift, was born on July 29 to Bai Yun, the zoo's 21-year-old, 223-pound adult female panda. He is her sixth cub, one of five with mate Gao Gao. Her first cub resulted from artificial insemination.
"He's shy and very loving," said Kay Ferguson, the zoo's panda narrator. "He's inquisitive and he likes to play with balls. He's very different from Bai Yun's other five cubs."
Despite stormy weather and cool temperatures, hundreds of panda fans lined up for the two-hour viewing. Previous glimpses of the cub and its mother were restricted to observations through the zoo's PandaCam.
Bai Yun is one of only two captive pandas worldwide to give birth at age 20, relatively old for pandas. Fewer than a dozen pandas have been born at U.S. zoos, including a female cub that died at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., in September, making Bai Yun the most prolific breeder in captivity outside China.
Bai Yun mostly ignored the baby during the public display. She chomped on bamboo, taking a break only to get a drink of water while the cub played in a nearby tree.
"With the first cub or two, she was very attentive, but the last, she doesn't worry about them at all," said Vivian Kiss, a panda fan. "You just want to pick him up and hold him."
The cub, roughly the size of a stick of butter when first born, is still nursing and does not yet eat solid food, Ferguson said. "She'll nurse him until he's 18 months old, until she gets so grouchy she kicks him out," Ferguson said.

A car makes its way through floodwaters this morning along Lake Accado Avenue north of Thibodaux.
Abby Tabor/Staff
Streets flooded in parts of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes this morning amid heavy rains that are expected to continue into Thursday.
The Houma-Thibodaux area and most of southeast Louisiana are under a flash-flood watch through Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
Lafourche Parish is asking residents to pick up or secure loose objects from yards that could be carried by wind or moving water and clog catch basins and culverts. Empty garbage cans and their covers should be moved away from roadside ditches to prevent drainage obstruction.
Sheriff's deputies put up barricades at Lake Accardo Avenue, residents said. One house flooded on that street.
Barricades have also been placed, according to Lafourche spokeswoman Loralei Gilliam, on the following Thibodaux roads:
? Allamand Lane
? Brandywine
? Parkside Dr
? Louisa
? Summerfield Rd.
? East Winder
? Emerald Park
Thibodaux received more than 5 inches of rain overnight, according to the Weather Service. Parts of northern Terrebonne received 3 inches; Houma saw about an inch.
Officials in both parishes as well as the city of Thibodaux said they were working to keep drainage systems operating at full capacity.
"We're making sure all the culverts are clear and the pumps are working efficiently because we're expecting more rain tonight," Gilliam said. "There's supposed to be another large storm coming through."
A strong and slow-moving storm system drifting west across the area from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to drop 1-3 inches of rain across the area through Thursday evening, the Weather Service said. Isolated areas could see another 5 inches before the storm passes. Since the ground is already saturated, the threat of flooding is heightened.
"A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday, with the main threat being strong to possibly damaging winds and an isolated tornado," the National Weather Service said in an advisory. "Rainfall rates will be very high in thunderstorms and heavier showers, so areas that experience repeat heavy rainfall will have a threat of flash flooding."
For updates, check houmatoday.com or dailycomet.com.
Lafourche Parish is asking the public, according to spokeswoman Loralei Gilliam:
? Be cautious driving on roads with standing water
? Drive slowly on residential streets, do not make wakes that can push water into homes
? Do not drive around barricades
? Call and report flooding at 537-7603
