Laptop Repair Guide - 7 Must-Know Laptop Repair Problems
If you manage to bang around your Macbook you may end up having to get a Macbook Cracked Screen Repair. This may also be required if you accidentally sit on your Macbook at some point. And really that is not too hard to do especially if you have young children around or travel a lot and sling your laptop around as you go. If you have managed to crack the screen on your Macbook you certainly don't want to order a replacement screen from the manufacturer but you do want to take your Macbook to a reputable Macbook repair shop and let them replace it for you. You cannot repair a screen so you must get a replacement. These screens are rather fragile and they need an expert to properly replace the screen.
If you have an older laptop instead of getting a Macbook Cracked Screen Repair you may want to get a new computer with more bells and whistles. Even though a cracked screen is not too costly to replace it gives you the opportunity to get a new computer. Just let the computer repair place transfer all of your data. In fact this even is the right time to have a custom laptop made exactly to your specifications. This way you will get the power you want to run the programs that you need run. You can get a webcam or other additions that will make your laptop and you more productive or at least have more fun on your Macbook perhaps at a faster speed.
To avoid having to get a Macbook Cracked Screen Repair you would have to realize that even though today's laptops including a Macbook are really rather sturdy they still cannot withstand heavy handling. They are not a reinforced hard sided suitcase that you can just throw down beside you. Especially since so many people don't bother with a case at all they just clutch their laptop tightly in their arms which may also crack the screen if held too tight. Also try not to slam down the laptop cover too hard as this may also damage your screen or even the circuitry that is behind the screen. Heavy handling may also break the hinges on the cover which is not good for the laptop nor for you as that will need to be repaired at some time also.
Of course if you intend to drop your Macbook regularly then you really should invest in a laptop case that should give it some protection. But if you have to go through an airport security check then you will have to take that laptop out of its case. And so many people forget about their laptop and leave it behind on the security checkpoint that you should put your name, phone number and your flight somewhere on the outside of the laptop. That way you can be paged if you leave it behind. Even going through security may damage your Macbook if it is slammed around.

A laptop is essential for students and working individuals. Because of its portability, users can write important papers, connect to the Internet via wireless modems, and can even watch movies anytime and anywhere. But without proper care, this machine can break down, and especially, there can be problems with the LCD monitor. Here are some tips that can help you in troubleshooting your laptop's LCD monitor.
Is there something wrong with your screen? If this is so, then there is a possibility that the LCD (liquid crystal display) backlight of your laptop is broken. The LCD backlight is the source of light that gives you a clearer visual of your screen. Symptoms of LCD damage include:
- Dim laptop LCD
- Flickering screen
- Faint images on your LCD
- No video image
- Faded laptop LCD
A laptop backlight is composed of four parts and these are:
- Laptop inverter
- LCD lamp
- Inverter cable
- Toggle switch
Damage to any of these parts may result to the symptoms stated above. Unfortunately, there is no other way to be sure if one of these parts are damaged without using a tester. Some of the main causes of damage to these parts include age and excessive use of your laptop. Parts such as the LCD lamp usually last for two years minimum.
Aside from the blacklight, it is possible that your LCD screen itself is damaged. This problem can be very serious because the LCD is the most fragile and expensive part of your laptop. Symptoms of LCD damage include:
- Decolorization of your screen
- Appearance of stripes or lines on your screen
LCD damage is usually caused by hard impacts to your laptop. Remember, the LCD is a very sensitive and fragile piece of equipment. Even the slightest amount of pressure on your LCD can cause it to break.
The only way to repair the backlight and the LCD monitor is to replace them. Replacing the LCD monitor alone can cost you around $250 and that is apart from the $120 service fee that most laptop repair companies charge.

To be very tightly or snugly squashed together, especially in a small space. We didn't want to take more than one car, so we had to be squashed like sardines in Jeff's little sedan for the four-hour drive to Moab. Having a concert in our friend's café was such a good idea! Sure, we were squashed in like sardines, but everyone had a great time.

New from my colleague Randy E. Barnett, Georgetown University Law Center, is the paper Whence Comes Section One? The Abolitionist Origins of the Fourteenth Amendment. Here's the abstract:
The contribution of abolitionist constitutionalism to the original public meaning of Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment was long obscured by a revisionist history that marginalized abolitionism, the "radical" Republicans, and their effort to establish democracy over Southern terrorism during Reconstruction. As a result, more Americans know about "carpetbaggers" than they do the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although this cloud began to lift with the work of Jacobus tenBroek (left), Eric Foner, and William Wiecek, knowledge of abolitionist constitutionalism among constitutional scholars was all but snuffed out by the dismissive writings of William Nelson and Robert Cover.
This study provides important evidence of the original public meaning of Section One. All the components of Section One were employed by a wide variety abolitionist lawyers and activists throughout the North. To advance their case against slavery, they needed to appeal to the then-extant public meaning of the terms already in the Constitution. Moreover, their widely-circulated invocations of national citizenship, privileges and immunities, the due process of law, and equal protection made their own contribution to the public meaning in 1866 of the language that became Section One.
The more one reads these forgotten abolitionist writings, the better their arguments look when compared with the opinions of the antebellum Supreme Court. But even if the Taney Court was right and the abolitionists wrong about the original meaning of the Constitution, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments were enacted to reverse the Court's rulings. To appreciate fully the public meaning of these Amendments, therefore, we need to know whence they came.

A research project I have been working on for much too long has included Lysander Spooner, one of the abolitionists focused on in Barnett's article, which I plan to read soon. But I wonder how these abolitionists compare to libertarians of their day and of today. Spooner wrote extensively that the Constitution (pre-Civil War Amendments) did not support slavery. Many abolitionists disagreed with this, including Wendell Phillips who responded to Spooner's writings in detail.

First three ingredients are named meat products, generally good quality ingredients
Some filler
The first three ingredients of this food are named meat products. The first of these is meat inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, it is likely that the ingredient would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). However, that still leaves TWO meat meal ingredients at the head of the ingredient list which gives us confidence that there is an adequate amount of meat in the food. There is a further meat ingredient 9th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make up a substantial portion of the food. The manufacturer states the use of ethoxyquin-free ingredients.
The major grains in the food are oatmeal, barley and rice. Oatmeal is a good quality source of carbohydrates and B vitamins. Barley is also a good quality grain and carbohydrate source. Rice is a low-allergenic grain that is a good source of carbohydrates and additional protein. Rye flour we consider to be filler. Tomato pomace and pea fiber are also filler, but are minor ingredients in the food.
The inclusion of a range of fruits and vegetables is appreciated, as are the probiotics.
Overall, this product uses good quality ingredients throughout and we are particularly pleased to see that the use of ethoxyquin-free meat sources is stated.

The Second Amendment and "Tyranny"
Behind Supreme Court case: Do gun rights protect against tyranny?
Article archived from csmonitor.com
The US Supreme Court is considering what could be a landmark decision on individual gun rights. An unspoken argument is that armed citizens would make any usurper think twice before subverting the Constitution.
By Warren Richey Staff writer / March 4, 2010
Supreme Court seems ready to extend gun rights to cities, states * Supreme Court, gun control, and the Second Amendment: a reckoning
More than 10,000 words were spoken during this week's historic oral argument over gun rights at the US Supreme Court. But one potentially significant word was never uttered during the hour-long session: tyranny.
Long a focus of debates between gun control advocates and gun rights supporters, the issue was not discussed by lawyers attacking Chicago's ban on handguns or the lawyer for the city defending local gun regulations. No member of the court mentioned it either.
But the idea is there, just below the surface of what analysts expect to become the high court's second gun rights landmark decision in as many years.
The basic contention of many gun rights advocates is that the Second Amendment was designed to preserve a large, well-armed, and highly proficient community of gun owners that would make any usurping politician or military commander think twice before attempting to subvert the nation's constitutional framework.
Founders' intent with Second Amendment "The Second Amendment … stands as the Founding Fathers' clear and unmistakable legal statement that an armed citizenry is the bulwark of liberty and provides the fundamental basis for law-abiding Americans to defend themselves, their families, their communities, and their nation against all aggressors, including, ultimately, a tyrannical government," wrote Daniel Schmutter in a friend of the court brief on behalf of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
Mr. Schmutter said the Second Amendment is "the very last line in the defense of American liberty." To gun control specialists this argument is deeply troubling. They worry that any armed person with a beef against the government will look to the Second Amendment for encouragement to lock and load and then rain down armed force in the face of what he or she perceives as "tyranny.
" How to define 'tyranny' "In a world in which 'tyranny' means many different things to many different people, it is of paramount importance that the court choose its words carefully when discussing just what is, and what is not, protected by the Second Amendment," wrote John Schreiber in a friend of the court brief on behalf of the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence. "The Framers plainly did not envision ad hoc groups of armed individuals beyond state control (i.e. a 'citizens' militia') as a constitutional check on tyranny," Mr. Schreiber wrote. "They saw them as unruly mobs that must be quelled."
Although it was not discussed during oral argument in the Chicago case, Justice Antonin Scalia addressed the issue briefly in his majority decision in the high court's 2008 ruling striking down Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban.
"If … the Second Amendment right is no more than the right to keep and use weapons as a member of an organized militia [and] the organized militia is the sole institutional beneficiary of the Second Amendment's guarantee – it does not assure the existence of a 'citizens' militia' as a safeguard against tyranny," Justice Scalia wrote. Scalia drew a distinction between government-sanctioned militiamen and a broader "people's militia," which he said was the concern of the founding generation.
These sentences have attracted significant interest and speculation from both sides of the gun rights debate. Schreiber denounces what he calls "insurrectionist" arguments. "At no time has the Second Amendment been understood to protect a personal or private right of insurrection," he wrote. Schmutter cited history to support his contention that individual possession of arms is essential to preventing usurpation by the state.
Lessons from history "During the 20th Century, more than 70 million people, after first being disarmed, were slaughtered by their own governments," he wrote. "This pattern appeared in Ottoman Turkey (1915-1917), the Soviet Union (1929-1945), Nazi Germany and occupied Europe (1933-1945), Nationalist China (1927-1949), Communist China (1949-1952, 1957-1960, and 1966-1970, Guatemala (1960-1981), Uganda (1971-1979), Cambodia (1975-1979), and Rwanda (1994) just to name a few."
He added: "The Second Amendment was created as the final barricade against the unthinkable – the day when the rest of our Constitutional safeguards have failed us and we stand exposed to the brutal reality that so many in history have understood only too late."
The Anti-Defamation League approached the issue from a different perspective. In a friend of the court brief the organization worried that expansive gun rights might feed into what it said was a pervasive culture of guns and violence among extremists in the US. What role for government control? "It is imperative that nothing said in the decision of this case threaten the ability of federal, state, and local governments to address the daunting 'on the ground' challenges posed by trying to keep guns out of the hands of extremists, terrorists, and hate criminals," wrote Leonard Niehoff in the Anti-Defamation League's brief.
In a dissent in a 2003 gun case, Appeals Court Judge Alex Kosinski laid out his views on the Second Amendment and tyranny. "The simple truth – born of experience – is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people," he wrote. "If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars," Judge Kosinski said. "The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision," he added. "One designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

Last month we solved a longstanding photograph mystery that we never expected to solve, that is until we rolled up our sleeves and actually tried. Modern digitization technology, more precisely the ability to zoom deep into a photo or negative to see details previously unavailable to the naked eye, coupled with searchable newspaper databases make solving these puzzles much easier today. But this time out, we have a longstanding photo mystery that we can't solve on our own. Having exhausted every resource we could muster, from searching historic newspaper databases to asking historians and journalists (we even tried asking federal archival investigators who visited us during the Landau theft case), we still can't say with any degree of certainty what's going on in the disturbing photo above. Yet its imagery evokes such strong feelings, conjuring up images of Jim Crow, the Klan, and lynching, we can't give up trying to understand it—so we turn to crowd sourcing.
Immediately several questions come to mind: What is happening to this man? Why are the men wearing masks? Are they police officers? Are they a jury? Stare a little longer and other questions arise: What year would this be? Why are two of the men seen above not wearing masks? Why does the African-American man seem so calm?
Here's what we do know
This photo is labeled "Detective room, Police Department." However, in the archival world, you quickly learn not to take random descriptions as gospel. It's part of the Hughes Collection*, one of our largest collections of photographs. James F. Hughes, whose first appearance as a commercial photographer in the City Directory was in 1877, founded the company. He owned the company until his widow sold it to an employee, James W. Scott, in 1903. The Hughes Company primarily did work for Baltimore area businesses, corporations, governmental agencies, and occasionally private individuals.
MdHS's records indicate that this photo was taken sometime around 1910. Several pieces of evidence corroborate this date. From the lighting fixtures to the suits and hats the men are wearing, this appears to be the early twentieth century, pre-WWI. Additionally, the original medium for the image is an 8 x 10 inch glass plate negative. Glass negatives preceded film negatives. They first appeared in the mid-nineteenth century, but went the way of the dinosaur in the early twentieth century as less fragile celluloid film was introduced. The one item that could answer the "when" question is just a bit too out of focus to help: a newspaper left on a table and opened to an advertisement page:
Given the approximate date of the photograph, we can safely assume that James Scott, or someone who worked for him after he took over the Hughes Company, took the picture. We know that the company commonly did work for the City of Baltimore. What we don't know is why a Hughes photographer was at this location on this particular day. There's also the matter that this room looks far more like a courtroom than a police detective room. Was the photographer there to take promotional pictures for the police department or court system? The shot seems somewhat staged, as if the men were assembled quickly for the shot. Note that three of them are not wearing masks, two on the left and one on the right in a doorway. Anonymity was not crucial for all of the men in the picture. There are fifteen men wearing the very distinctive masks. Could this be a jury with three alternates? Are they witnesses? A staged demonstration might also explain the calm look of the man on the riser. It's also worth noting that he's a fairly handsome man and zooming in closeup reveals no sweat on his brow. Additionally he appears to be wearing a wedding ring. What does any of this mean?
One final clue to point out: If this is a detective room or a court room, how do we explain the object behind the head of the man to the right of the man on the riser? What little we can read of it says, WM. J. C. DULANY CO. PUBLISHERS. Is it a calendar or broadside? The photo vexes us at every turn.
Educated guesses
One prominent local historian** suggested that this image represents an initiation ritual for the first black detective of the Baltimore City police force. This seemed a reasonable guess, except that the date range of the collection is 1910-1926. Considering that glass negatives were not used much after the nineteen-teens and that we had never heard of an African-American detective in segregated Baltimore this early, we were left wondering.
The theory was quickly taken down by a veteran journalist who visits the library frequently. "There were no black officers on the force until 1937. Violet Hill Whyte was the first one," said our source. "African-Americans weren't even put into uniform until 1943," he added. The first African-American men hired by the Baltimore Police arrived in 1938. They were Walter T. Eubanks Jr., Harry S. Scott, Milton Gardner, and J. Hiram Butler Jr. These men were not allowed to wear police uniforms for another five years. Even if this were a photo from as late as 1926, which is highly unlikely, it predates the arrival of African-Americans on the force by twelve years.
Left with more questions than answers, we turn to you, our readers. What do you think?

Although animal rights, as an issue, are not at the top of most agendas, it is also a slam dunk as far as support. What opposition would there really be to this? (Insert Michael Vick joke here.)
The common knee jerk reaction to legislation like this is to compare it to almost anything else. For instance, "do we want to spend time chasing bad pet owners when there are drug dealers we need to apprehend?" Or 'do we really want to fill a jail cell for a guy that harms dogs instead of a person that hurts people?"
The answer is yes, and the reason is that those who commit these crimes to animals are usually just as dangerous to the rest of us. Remember when Rudy Giuliani said that certain small crimes (like panhandling) were related to larger crimes? This works the same way. The people who commit heinous acts against dogs and other animals are usually degenerates who we are going to commit other violent acts.
Vallone and PBA President Patrick Lynch are right to push for a registry. It should fly through the City Council and get no opposition from City Hall.
As I have mentioned in columns before, there is something to be said for politicians who jump into issues that attract only a few votes. We may all agree that the animal abuse registry is a good idea, but it is not a vote getter. We want politicians to take on issues that do not always carry with them political capital, and good for Peter Vallone for doing just that.
A Word About Ian Clarkin (Who?)
As the 2013 Major League Baseball draft saw its first round come to an end, the Yankees closed it out with two supplemental picks (they had three first rounders in total).
This was payback for losing Rafael Soriano and Nick Swisher to free agency. The Yankees first took Notre Dame third baseman Eric Jagielo. Then they grabbed gigantic 6'7" outfielder Aaron Judge.
Their final pick was left-handed high school pitcher, Ian Clarkin. Clarkin made remarks before the draft that he could not stand the Yankees. He then apologized for his comments when the Yankees drafted him.
I have friends who take what athletes say too seriously. One friend is still mad at Darryl Strawberry for saying that he might seek free agency while he was still a Met. Undoubtedly, there are going to be fans that are mad at Clarkin, but they shouldn't be. In fact, Yankee fans should welcome this.
First of all, Clarkin is an 18-year-old kid, so take most of what he says in context. After that, Clarkin not liking the Yankees means that he has an opinion.
Remember Jeff Kent? He was the great hitter who played for the Blue Jays, Mets, and Giants. The thing about Kent, however, was that he did not love the game. He openly stated that he did not follow baseball except as his job. I would rather have a kid that has passion for this game than a guy that does not.
Teammates did not like playing with Kent, but they might like playing with Clarkin. Clarkin probably dislikes the Yankees for the same reason other people usually do: his parents probably dislike them. He comes from a baseball house...good enough.
People who love this game have a passion for it. The fans who say they root for both New York teams are not the ones you want on your side. Those who love all of the changes to the playoff system and inter-league play are not those who love the game.
Clarkin having an opinion about baseball does not offend me in the least. What worries me is his herky-jerky pitching motion that makes me think he will get through a lineup once before he gets rocked.
That worries me; his love for the game is what I welcome as a fan.

Review: Captivating, eloquent 'Women of Will'
Tina Packer's eloquent discourse on Shakespeare's female characters, "Women of Will," is a long-time labor of love, and in this case, Packer's labors were not lost.
Founding artistic director of Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Mass., Packer has taught Shakespeare's canon in several U.S. colleges, including Harvard, M.I.T., NYU and Columbia.
Her years of experience researching, teaching, directing and acting in his plays are integral to the polished, intellectual appeal of "Women of Will," in which she analyzes and enacts quite a few of Shakespeare's female characters while correlating their evolution to possible developments in his personal life.
Performing with spirited charm, humor, and just a few props in a minimalist setting at The Gym at Judson, Packer provides an abridged, two-and-a-half hour version of her lengthier work, "Women of Will: The Complete Journey."
She and her director Eric Tucker must have had a difficult time pruning the original, as her enthusiasm for her subject matter is boundless and irresistible. The result is a bit like having a time-traveling speed-date with Shakespeare and his work, which leaves you wanting more.
Packer's engaging, five-part analysis of the progression of Shakespeare's attitude toward his female - and male - characters over the years sets up vigorous enactment of relevant speeches and scenes. She also banters with her onstage partner, the equally proficient Nigel Gore, who initially jumps out to proclaim, "I come bearing testosterone." Wordplay abounds, even in the title, as Packer gleefully explains the lesser-known Elizabethan meaning of the word "will."
But it's the acting that truly captivates. By turns playful and fierce, Packer alters mercurially from a "woman warrior" like Joan of Arc to a bashful young Juliet to a despairing Lady Macbeth, to name but a few of the most familiar. She even tackles the submission speech made by Katharine near the end of "The Taming of the Shrew," which is generally so objectionable to 21st-century women. "I can't say this," she announces disgustedly, then proceeds to say it at least twice, with alternate interpretations.
At times their banter breaks the spells these accomplished actors repeatedly cast with their engrossing enactments. Yet this production succeeds as a thoughtful, entertaining reflection on the evolution of Shakespeare's art and characters of any and all genders.

President Obama urges Boy Scouts to admit gays
Days before the Boy Scouts of America prepared to consider lifting its blanket prohibition on gays, President Obama reiterated that he thinks the ban should end.
In an interview with CBS News airing during the Super Bowl show Sunday, Obama said, "My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does, in every institution and walk of life." He called the Scouts "a great institution" that offers skills that benefit children throughout their lives.
The Scouts announced last week that its national board would discuss allowing local groups to decide whether to admit gays. The board's meeting begins in Irving, Texas, on Monday.
The announcement follows a decades-old determination to bar homosexual boys and adult leaders – a ban the Scouts reaffirmed in July.
PHOTOS: President Obama's past
Weeks after the organization did so, the White House told the Washington Blade that Obama opposed the ban.
The president considers the Scouts "a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character," White House spokesman Shin Inouye said in the statement, which continued: "He also opposes discrimination in all forms, and as such opposes this policy that discriminates on basis of sexual orientation."
Obama is honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America.
"The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic or educational organizations that oversee and deliver scouting to determine how to address this issue," Scouts spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement. "The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members or parents."
The proposed change is likely to be controversial. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an Eagle Scout, says he will defend the current policy. In addition, a majority of local chartering groups are faith-based, including the Roman Catholic and Mormon churches. Both are likely to continue to bar gay scouts and leaders, whatever the Boy Scouts' national board decides.

VIDEO WATCHDOG prides itself on publishing content that doesn't grow old, and we are going to utilize our past material as a foundation for more creative expansion. Even our earliest reviews of VHS and LaserDisc releases remain pertinent as film criticism -- and we have a backlog of hundreds of feature articles and thousands of reviews that stand to become one of the most important archives of film reference, film thought and film discussion on the Internet. We are talking about more than 14,000 pages of the best writing from the best writers, critics, authors and thinkers specializing in genre cinema. That's roughly the equivalent of 40 books on a wide variety of topics, everything from classic to contemporary horror, martial arts cinema, Italian westerns, dark fantasy, film music, arthouse and grindhouse -- all of it searchable for the first time, so you could conceivably type any new topic that caught your fancy into your search engine and pull up everything VIDEO WATCHDOG ever had to say about it.
Donna has been working tirelessly and obsessively on this project for months, and by now you should have seen the incredible results of her efforts in our first digital issue, which is available FREE right here. For the first time, we're able to accommodate more pictures, more sounds, more information, even my own editorial annotations... How could our readers not want this x 176?
To realize this ambitious vision, we need numbers more than hefty contributions. Lots of people contributing modest but helpful amounts -- it's really that sort of grass roots support that's going to put us over the top! But for those of you who are able to contribute more, we've worked out a sizeable number of rewards to tempt you at different levels.
We urge you to click on the link above, watch the beautiful promo film that our friends at New Voyage Communications in Washington DC put together for us (with input from some of our most illustrious celebrity readers), and see what our campaign is all about!

The parents of 21-year-old Washington man James Foster, who is in a coma after being savagely beaten for allegedly complimenting another man's wheels, will hold a vigil for their son at Tacoma General Hospital this Saturday at 8 p.m. local time. Foster is still unconscious and possibly paralyzed.
The story has incited an emotional response on the Internet as well — most notably on the social media sites Reddit and Facebook.
Since news of the incident broke this week there's been an outpouring of support for Foster and an even larger outpouring of vitriol leveled at Daman Lehman, his attacker. A Facebook page that identifies as Lehman was spammed. On the website Reddit, which his Facebook page claims he used, the community there has turned against him with calls to crucify him. A Reddit post linking to Jalopnik was taken down by moderators because of the sharing of Lehman's personal info, a moderator of the /WTF subreddit confirmed.
There's a Facebook page called Daman Lehman Deserves Life In Prison, which now has 115 members and unearthed what could be a former domestic violence charge for the accused.
The response isn't entirely surprising. Lehman looks like the poster child for Tapout-shirt wearing bullies, with his humongous arms and vacant stare. People who otherwise wouldn't likely confront him in person have numerous outlets for their rage on the Internet. Details of the incident only support this impression.
Foster has been in a coma since the incident occurred last Friday outside of a bar in Puyallup, Washington. A car enthusiast, he saw the wheels on 25-year-old Lehman's car and complimented them. For no apparent reason, Lehman punched him twice in the face. Foster hit his head on the ground.
According to witnesses, Lehman said "I put people to sleep, that's what I do" as he left the scene. Lehman was arrested and charged with first-degree assault. The 25-year-old pleaded not guilty and was let out on $75,000 bail.
None of that rage is likely to have a real impact on this case. The best response would be to support the Foster family, which individuals near Tacoma General Hospital can do Saturday night.

There are many ways which will attract you by giving the attractive schemes and promotional things. Out of many ways and suggestion one thing I can say that the most efficient way through which you can win many things with some development of skills are the world of pokies. My introduction to this world was very tragic, one day I was watching a movie which was based on the concept of subject of looting and the main character use to distribute the looted money to the people who were in need.
The whole thing compels me to make a search through online about any game which would be based on that movie and I found many. But the game which I went for was Lotsaloot which is really the perfect match for me. I had played mocrogaming's online pokie which offers me real money with no deposit bonus. In Australia, there are many websites for play online pokies no deposit bonus required, and you can choose the right one from internet and can enjoy freeslots.
The different thing which I liked about this one was that if you are in need of some credits you can go for the quiz which are the option which is the extra facility provided by this one. If you are thinking of making some excess funds and want to go for the maximum betting then this is the perfect one for them who want to wage with excess investment. It is the rule of the gambling that the higher you go the higher you will get the chance of winning.
I often enjoy it while I get any spare time and if I get any problem in understanding any word I use dictionary. The typical thing which you will like about this one is that it facilitates you to go with either three reels or five reels. The version of five reels will give you to go with 25 lines of pay and the symbols which are used in this one is the face cards of the playing such as ace, king, queen and many more which you can use to make the win.

As debate continues in Congress on how best to give a genuine boost to the troubled economy, some of the nation's foundations have responded quickly to the crisis in their local communities and nationally.
Despite being hit hard themselves by the stock market's decline, close to 50 foundations have committed more than $100 million so far toward efforts to reduce foreclosures, provide financial counseling, and shore up services to the rising numbers of jobless and homeless.
A variety of foundations, from community to family to corporate, have taken the initiative. For instance:
•Silicon Valley Community Foundation has pledged an additional $5.2 million to assist safety-net service providers in California's Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
•The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has invested more than $38 million to help homeowners and renters in Chicago's low-income neighborhoods.
•In Texas, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation gave 33 "surprise" grants in November to organizations helping children in central Texas, to fill unexpected gaps in their operating budgets.
•The GE Foundation, General Electric's philanthropic arm, donated $10.5 million to United Way of America, the largest single commitment for shelter assistance and homeless services so far.
"The typical way a foundation responds [during an economic downturn] is by trying to hold giving as stable as possible, but some have made exceptional commitments," says Steve Lawrence, senior research director at the Foundation Center, in New York.
The center is monitoring daily the philanthropic community's response to the crisis on an interactive website (foundationcenter.org/focus/economy).
The future remains cloudy for foundations themselves. A survey by the Chronicle of Philanthropy released last month found that many had lost almost one-third of their assets. Of the 73 grantmakers that provided data for 2009, 39 foundations plan to decrease their contributions this year, 22 say their grantmaking will stay about the same, and 12 plan an increase. Some are cutting back on travel, conferences, and staffing.
Overall giving will probably be down in 2009, says Dr. Lawrence, and there could be an even bigger negative impact in 2010. Large foundations determine grant budgets based on a rolling average of asset values over a three to five year period.
"While 2008 was a bad year, 2007 was good, but we may run out of good years," Lawrence explains. "It depends on how the market fares."
Community foundations have clearly taken the lead in responding to needs for human services in their local areas.
While its region is relatively affluent, Silicon Valley Community Foundation found during grant planning last year that unprecedented changes were occurring, beyond those experienced during the dotcom bust. The Second Harvest Food Bank, for example, received more requests than at any time in its 34-year history, many of them from people who had never asked for help before.
"Even a year ago, we started to learn about foreclosures, the lack of financial literacy among people, initial job losses," says Emmett Carson, the foundation's CEO and president. "We were listening early on to the canaries in the mine, so that enabled us to build strategies which now appear to be right on point."
After an initial $1 million grant from its own endowment, the foundation approved an additional $1 million challenge grant, which brought in $1.7 million from the community in seven weeks. It promoted a few local organizations serving those in need on its website and garnered another $1.5 million.
"There is still tremendous accumulated wealth in this community – and people who care," Dr. Carson says of the $5.2 million they created and leveraged in recent months to give to 47 nonprofits serving those in need.
Corporate foundations tend to focus giving nationally, in line with their areas of operation. Bank of America Charitable Foundation, Countrywide Charitable Giving, and the Kresge Foundation, among others, have donated resources toward the foreclosure crisis.
"A lot of the corporate giving is focused on housing and foreclosures, and this is not an area foundations typically fund," Lawrence says. "This shows they are willing to innovate."
Yet corporate support may be limited, since almost a quarter of grant dollars in 2006 came from foundations in the banking and financial sector, he adds.
The MacArthur Foundation has mounted a major effort for its hometown.
President Jonathan Fanton announced in late 2008 that it will devote $68 million in grants and low-interest loans over two years "to keep homeowners in their homes, assist renters forced to move as a result of foreclosure, and help the City of Chicago put vacant foreclosed houses back into productive use as quickly as possible."
Its goals are to reach 10,000 households, prevent at least 2,700 foreclosures, provide counseling to 6,000 homeowners, and leverage more than $500 million in financing to keep neighborhoods from declining.
Three foundations are focused on the big picture: finding out how this economic debacle came about so as to avoid a similar crisis in the future.
The Alfred P. Sloan, Ford, and Citi foundations have made grants to study the financial crisis and educate the public about it.
"That's tremendous foresight when we are clearly still in the midst of this," Lawrence says.
Yet for those on the front lines, grantmaking is only part of the job. None of the safety-net providers can provide emergency housing and services to cover thousands of laid-off persons just with foundation grants and individual donations, Carson says. "So we see part of this as working with city, county, and state governments to fashion partnerships – and to create a systematic response to the problem."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Andrew Luck led Indianapolis back from a 13-point second-half deficit and Adam Vinatieri made two fourth-quarter field goals as the Colts rallied for a 27-23 victory Sunday over the Tennessee Titans.
Luck has now engineered six fourth-quarter comebacks this season for Indy (9-4).
It wasn't all Luck.
Delone Carter cut the deficit to 20-14 with a 1-yard TD run on Indy's opening possession of the second half. And after Pat McAfee's 52-yard punt went out of bounds at the Titans 1-yard line, Cassius Vaughn jumped in front of Nate Washington, picked off Jake Locker's pass and scored on a 3-yard interception return to make it 21-20.
Rob Bironas gave the Titans (4-9) a 23-21 lead with a 25-yard field goal, but VInatieri hit from 53 yards to retake the lead and from 40 to seal it.

Hello guys
I'm going to translate "A Little Red Riding Hood" story. And actually already did it. But having some issues so need an advice.
First of all with the names. The name jan Lili Len Lawa Loje seems too clumsy to use it all along the story. Is it OK to shorten it to jan Loje?
Also names for a Big Bad Wolf and Little Good Cat. Is it OK to shorten them to soweli Lupo and soweli Katu?

Patriarchs, primates and representatives of Eastern Orthodox churches recommitted themselves to overcome intra-Orthodox conflicts as well as to continue theological dialogues with Christians from other confessions at a 10-12 October meeting in Istanbul, Turkey.
"Overcoming the internal conflicts of the Orthodox Church through the surrendering of nationalistic, ethnic and ideological extremes of the past" is a requisite for the "word of Orthodoxy [to] have a necessary impact on the contemporary world," reads a message issued at the end of the meeting.
The message also affirms the participants' "desire to continue, despite any difficulties, the theological dialogues with other Christians, as well as the interreligious dialogues, especially with Judaism and Islam".
Fourteen patriarchs, primates and representatives of Eastern Orthodox churches gathered in the Phanar, the see of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The meeting took place at the invitation and under the presidency of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew - the "first among us," according to the message.
"This has been an extremely important event in the life of the Orthodox church," said the World Council of Churches (WCC) deputy general secretary Georges Lemopoulos. "The message, calling mainly for inter-orthodox unity and collaboration, and spelling out an 'Orthodox agenda' as a witness to the world, has a significant ecumenical dimension and will certainly impact the work of the ecumenical movement," added Lemopoulos, an Orthodox layman from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Addressing some of the issues making headlines these days, the message linked the current financial crisis to "manic profiteering" and "corrupt financial activity", while calling for a "viable economy" able to combine "efficacy with justice and social solidarity".
Regarding the conflict between Georgia and Russia over the breakaway South Ossetia region, the Orthodox leaders commended both Orthodox churches for "their fraternal cooperation" and hoped that their "efforts will contribute to overcoming the tragic consequences of military operations and [to] the swift reconcilement of the peoples".
The meeting's message condemns the "unjust inequality" in the sharing of "the goods of Creation" by "individuals, or even peoples" as a consequence of "nationalistic, ethnic, ideological and religious" divisions. The results are wanton: billions of people deprived of basic goods; mass migration; nationalistic, religious and social discrimination and conflicts; and destruction of the natural environment and the entire ecosystem.
As Orthodox Christians "share responsibility for the contemporary crisis of this planet," they also have "a major obligation to contribute to overcoming the divisions of the world," the message states.
Participants at the gathering welcomed "the proposal by the Ecumenical Patriarchate to convene Pan-Orthodox Consultations within the coming year" in order to address jurisdictional and other issues that have "arisen from historical circumstances and pastoral requirements, such as in the so-called Orthodox Diaspora".
The Orthodox leaders also welcomed "the continuation of preparations for the Holy and Great Council". Preparations towards a major conciliar event of the Orthodox churches took place at the end of the seventies and in the eighties but slowed down when changes in Eastern Europe created new pastoral needs and ecclesial challenges within the Orthodox world.
The message has been signed by the patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem and Moscow, the primates of the churches of Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Albania, and the Czech Lands and Slovakia, as well as representatives of the churches of Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Georgia.

Right-wing psychosexual obsessions, Nate Silver editionComments
I don't even . . .
Nate Silver is a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the "Mr. New Castrati" voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program. In fact, Silver could easily be the poster child for the New Castrati in both image and sound. Nate Silver, like most liberal and leftist celebrities and favorites, might be of average intelligence but is surely not the genius he's made out to be. His political analyses are average at best and his projections, at least this year, are extremely biased in favor of the Democrats.
I actually saw the New Castrati open for the Pet Shop Boys back in 1986. (Shortly afterwards they discovered there was already a band in the West End called the New Castrati, so they became the New New Castrati, or NNC to their fans).
…[SL] If I had projections showing Mittens winning Oregon, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Minnesota (and 53 Senate Republicans!), I'd rather discuss my bizarre sexual obsessions than polling methodology too.

Control of stem cell formation and differentiation by mRNA/protein complexes.
During animal development, a cell's fate is determined by precise control of protein levels and activities. mRNA transcription has long been thought as the focus of regulation. However, many critical mRNAs are tightly controlled in the cytoplasm after they leave the nucleus, leading to specific patterns of protein translation and localization. Cytoplasmic mRNA regulation is very important during early embryogenesis and during stem cell divisions that occur throughout development. The mechanisms that regulate cytoplasmic mRNAs and that tie this control to the development of living cells are poorly understood. Recent studies hint that the mechanisms are similar in many animals and that they are important for various human diseases.
We are exploring this problem in the small nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. In the C. elegans adult gonad, germline stem cells generate oocytes by a carefully orchestrated process. Oocytes then become embryos where polarized (asymmetric) cell division generates various precursors and stem cells (Figure 1).
These events lead to precise localization of developmental regulators in the embryo (Figure 2). mRNAs for these regulators are produced by germ cells in the mother and are packaged into oocytes and embryos.
We have found that several different RNA-binding proteins function at specific times and places to control these mRNAs during development. Interestingly, each of these proteins has human relatives, but their functions in people are not known. These proteins and their regulated mRNAs form various large mRNA/protein complexes (mRNPs) in the cytoplasm of oocytes and embryos (the red particles in Figure 2 are one type of mRNP complex). The behavior of mRNP complexes is dynamic; their composition, structure, localization change during development. These complexes regulate germ cell differentiation and stem cell development in the embryo. Future research in the lab will aim to understand how mRNP complexes are regulated in living cells during development, to explore how they control patterns of protein translation, and to identify novel proteins and RNAs that mediate this control.
Why do this research in C. elegans? The genes that control C. elegans biology are similar to human genes, several of which have been tied to cancer, autoimmune disease, nervous system disorders, and other diseases. Sophisticated techniques can be combined in C. elegans to yield new discoveries. Detailed features of the worm genome have been determined. Gene function can be knocked out by mutation or by the simple technique of RNA interference. The function and expression of these genes can be analyzed in living animals using high-resolution microscopy. mRNP complexes can be isolated and their components identified using mass spectrometry and microarray technology. Recombinant genes, mRNAs, and proteins can be re-introduced into these animals. Therefore, the C. elegans system allows the discovery of new genes important in human biology and disease, and detailed studies of their function and regulation.

Three Egg Science Experiments for You and Your Kids
Have you ever undressed a raw egg by removing its shell?
Or folded an egg in half?
Or bounced an egg on the table without making it break?
You and your kids can astound your friends and family with three easy egg science "eggs-periments." All it takes is one secret ingredient and a little patience.
In this article I'll show you how to remove the hard eggshell to discover what lies beneath an egg's tough exterior.
Why Remove the Eggshell?
Scrambled, boiled, sunny side up… naked? Most kids (and grownups, too) are familiar with the many things you can do with eggs. Wouldn't it be fun to try something with an egg that you've never seen before?
This experiment doesn't have fire or explosions or bright colors or noises, but it does contain some cool lessons on chemical reactions and osmosis.
Removing the shell may be completely embarrassing for the egg, but it will be fascinating for you and your kids.

When a minister works with a grieving family on preparing the funeral liturgy, there are a few distinct approaches when it comes to selecting Scripture readings. Perhaps it is appropriate to find something suggestive of the deceased. The just man or the worthy wife catch attention. Often, we want a hopeful message–something like "Do not let your hearts be troubled" or "God will destroy death forever." Sometimes, we are looking for something suggestive of God or Jesus Christ.
John's Gospel can be difficult, and it's no wonder this passage is an infrequent choice for funerals. Too bad.
Jesus told his disciples:
"The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains just a grain of wheat;
but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
Whoever loves their life loses it,
and whoever hates their life in this world
will preserve it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me,
and where I am, there also will my servant be.
The Father will honor whoever serves me.
"I am troubled now. Yet what should I say?
'Father, save me from this hour'?
But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
Father, glorify your name."
Then a voice came from heaven,
"I have glorified it and will glorify it again."
Maybe we're hung up on loving and hating our life. One way or the other. Keep in mind this is the Jewish rabbi grabbing our attention. Love and hate are vivid. Jesus is not lying, deceiving, or exaggerating that much, I think. He wants us to notice his words and be troubled by them. He's shaking us up to get our priorities in order. Are we focused too much on loving the things of this world? He means the wealth, the prestige, the honors, the luxuries, the privileges. Obviously, the funeral of a public official is not going to benefit from including this gospel. What about a bishop or perhaps a priest? Well that might have unintended irony.
To me, it's clear that this gospel fits a vowed religious, or a lay person with a long history of service through sacrifice.
This passage, so close to Jesus' Passion and Death, clearly sends the message that if Christ himself could not avoid sacrifice and death, we followers cannot expect any less treatment. If a person has served Christ well, that person has imitated the Lord. That imitation must, according to this passage, include embracing the experience of death and loss in order to transcend to a closer union with God.
The funeral rites give the option of a shorter version, omitting verses 27-28 (after the break, above). Does Jesus' experience of "trouble" and the Father's assent distract from the core message of grain, death, growth, love, and imitation? Likely it depends on the situation.
Any thoughts?

Is there any dessert more iconic than the Girl Scout cookie? We're not sure there is. Although mainstays like Trefoils, Samoas, and Thin Mints have been around for generations, the Girl Scouts of the USA also have a lengthy list of cookies that have come and gone over the years. And while some are better than others, their new cookie for 2019 is everything you could want and then some. Yes, the Girl Scouts are finally launching the Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie for their next season.
According to a press release, Girl Scouts in select markets will sell the Caramel Chocolate Chip.
As the name suggests, this new sweet treat is a chewy cookie with semi-sweet chocolate chips and caramel throughout. Oh, and did we mention it's gluten-free?The Caramel Chocolate Chip isn't the only gluten-free option available to Girl Scout cookie fans. The Girl Scouts introduced the Toffee-tastic cookie in 2015, and that launch was a major success for the centenarian institution.
While the Caramel Chocolate Chip has yet to hit the Girl Scout cookie flier or be tasted by customers, it's something those with gluten intolerances can look forward to. For the rest of us? Well, we'll just have to see where this new offering ranks among the best Girl Scout cookies of all time.

Hello folks.
So I know that there are mixed views around here about using/not using GPS devices. I personally have never used one but I figure that when I do get to hiking the skyline trail, I should have one of these. I think I need two functions :
1) Ability to send a SOS message (a feature I hope not to have to use)
2) Load maps/trails and Spot check where I am
Any recommendations on a reliable device?
I have an android smartphone with a gps module so I think using that is also an option though I would err on the side of caution and get a dedicated gps handset.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Georgia coach Mark Richt wants the lasting memory his team has of this season to be a positive one.
Nothing will give the sixth-ranked Bulldogs a second chance to get back the 5 yards they came up short in their SEC championship game loss to Alabama.
Still, Richt is hoping that today's Capital One Bowl against equally redemption-minded Nebraska will be a huge initial step.
"There's always a scene in the locker room after the game, and I'm going to be addressing seniors for the very last time," Richt said. "You want that last memory to be a good one. That's a big motivating factor for me and I think it probably is for anyone who's thinking 'Hey, this might be my last ball game.'"
On the other side of the field will be a Nebraska team that has been asked ad nauseam this week about how it could possibly get over its humiliating 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
Like Georgia, Nebraska also enters the postseason with a two-game bowl losing streak. It's why Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini hasn't sugarcoated at all this week the reality of the disappointment his team carries with it into this game.
"No, matter what happens...you'll never wipe that taste out of your mouth," Pelini said. "That isn't going away, regardless of what happens (Tuesday). To me life is about opportunities. It's about challenges. It's what drives me and it's why I'm in this profession. It's why I do what I do and why the players play.
"When it was presented to me of which opportunity we were going to take, we took the one we thought was the biggest challenge for our team."
Their previous shortcomings aside, both teams can also achieve program milestones with a win.
Only two previous Georgia teams have recorded 12 victories in a season, and Nebraska is trying for its first 11-win season since 2001.
"Definitely looking forward to it. It's been kind of an up and down year, but I am just excited to play against Georgia," Nebraska senior running back Rex Burkhead said. "They have a great defense, great team and I'm just ready to get back out there with my team and have another chance to go out with a bang."
Burkhead only appeared in seven games this season as he battled a left knee injury that kept him on the sidelines at different points this season.
It put the Cornhuskers primary rushing duties on junior quarterback Taylor Martinez and sophomore running back Ameer Abdullah, who led the team with 1,089 yards. Martinez had a team-high 10 rushing scores. Freshman Imani Cross also chipped in seven touchdowns.
"They have done a tremendous job," Burkhead said. "You know they had a great off season just to prepare for this season. I think you see them playing a lot faster this year just seeing things quicker, and that's probably the biggest strides they made from last year, and it's awesome to watch. I didn't play for a lot of games this year, so it was just kind of cool seeing them develop and mature throughout this year and showcasing their abilities and what they can do."
Now Burkhead and company will combine to try to exploit a Georgia defense that had the eighth-ranked passing defense in the country (surrendering just 173.5 yards per game), but a rushing defense that gave up 177.8 yards on the ground.
Nebraska's rushing defense was even worse, giving up 194.9 yards per game.
Georgia defensive end Garrison Smith thinks the key, though, will be keeping a throwing and running threat like Martinez off balance.
"It's just going to be hard to contain him," he said. "Everybody is just going to have to give our all and give hundred percent, give our best to get after them, which is hard when you are playing such a great player like him."
That said, Bulldogs sophomore defensive end Ray Drew said he and his teammates welcome the opportunity to matchup up with the Cornhuskers' multi-pronged attack.
"We respect Nebraska," said Drew. "As usual, we fear no one but respect everyone. I think we know what we need to do down here to leave with a 'W'."
Taking a cue from his coach, Murray said like Richt, he wants Tuesday to be a celebration for the Bulldogs' seniors.
That list includes junior linebacker Jarvis Jones, who could make the jump to the NFL this offseason.
"I know all the underclassmen really want to send them off the right way," Murray said. "Like I said, I know me personally, I have yet to win or be part of a winning bowl game, so I really want to win. And I am going to do what I can to make sure this offense and this team are ready to go."
Georgia (11-2) vs. Nebraska (10-3), 1 p.m. EST (ABC)
Line: Georgia by 9
Series Record: Nebraska leads 1-0.
What's at stake: The Bulldogs came up just a few yards short of capturing the SEC crown and trip the BCS national championship game, when they fell to defending BCS champion Alabama, 32-28. They acknowledged this week that wound hasn't fully healed, but want this bowl game to be the first step. The Cornhuskers are looking to erase the memories of their lopsided 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game, which cost them a trip to the Rose Bowl. Nebraska had won six in a row before its championship game loss.
Key matchup: Georgia thrived this season offensively behind Tampa, Fla. native Aaron Murray. He led the nation in yards per passing attempt (7.8), while throwing for 31 touchdowns. He will be opposite a Nebraska defense that allowed 148.2 yards per game passing this season, ranking No. 1 in the nation.
Players to watch: Georgia: LB Jarvis Jones, who could be playing his final collegiate game with a jump to the NFL very possible. Jones has been a staple of Georgia's defense this season. The SEC's defensive player of the year, led the team with 12.5 sacks and 22 tackles for a loss. Offensively, Georgia will need a big effort from freshman Todd Gurley, who rushed for 1,260 yards.
Nebraska: Junior OG Spencer Long garnered first team All-Big Ten honors this season for an offense that led the conference in both rushing (254.5 yards per game) and total yards (462.2 yards per game). He will be needed to open up holes for junior QB Taylor Martinez, who threw for 21 touchdowns this season and rushed for 10 more. He is Nebraska's career leader in total offense with more than 9,000 yards.
