My brother lives in Anchorage, Alaska. While speaking to one another he told me it is warmer where he is than in Pennsylvania! Wanting to prove him wrong I took advantage of a neat little Google Tip for searching the weather. I simply typed "weather anchorage AK" in the Google search bar and up popped an informational weather box with the high and low temperatures for the next week. I am sorry to say I couldn't prove him wrong. We will only reach a high temperature of 32°today while he is basking in the mid forties. The Google weather feature comes in handy if you are heading to another city or making plans for a vacation to someplace warmer. Try it out the next time you need to know the weather where you are headed! Have you tried Google Voice Search? It is the latest, best way to search for an answer without having to do any typing. The app is available for Apple and Android. When you need a question answered, simply tap or click the microphone on the Google search bar, speak clearly and ask your question! Want to know if there are pizza restaurants in the area? Just ask! Want to know how tall the Sears Building is in Chicago? Just ask! Want to know what a llama eats? Just ask! Google will answer you back and direct you to related sites that will further help you with your search. Finding an answer to what you need to know has never been easier! Are you looking for a great source for writing prompts and inspiration? Head to Always Write by Corbett Harrison. Formerly housed at Writing Fix, the Daily Writing Prompt Generator is there for you when your own creative juices aren't flowing. Each and every time you click for a writing prompt a new choice appears in the window. If students have access to their own devices with web-browsing capability, they can head to the web site and click the prompt for themselves! Whether writing in an actual notebook or digitially, your students are never at a loss for a new writing idea! In addition to the prompt generator Always Write is full of ideas for the writing classroom. Everything a teacher needs to get started using writing workshop, writing notebooks, reading workshop, and mentor texts in their own classroom is available. Samples of the author's own notebooks and writing are there for inspiration and clarification. If you have not checked out Always Write you should head there and give it a try. You won't be sorry! Where is the first place students will head when they are assigned a project that involves research? I am willing to bet that you answered, "Google!" The ability to quickly find information pertaining to a topic is one reason Google is so popular. Students know they can search for just about any topic by simply typing in a few words. It doesn't even have to be spelled correctly! However, as soon as the hits appear problems can begin. In terms of readability for the student, the initial list of links can be fairly hit or miss. If a link has too many words or not enough pictures and interaction, they'll quickly close them and try others. Sites that are difficult to read quickly cause frustation and lead to hands in the air and cries of "I can't find anything." There is a simple way students can narrow their choices down, however, so they view only sites and articles that are closer to their own reading level. After completing the initial search, by choosing <search tools>, <all results>, and <reading level>, a graphic appears showing the percentage of hits that are written at a basic, intermediate, or advanced reading level. Clicking on the word for the desired level eliminates all other articles that are too easy or too hard for the student to read. Changing the Reading Level still won't make researching a completely independent exercise, but it will allow for differentiation during the process and further aid the students in being successful. Give it a try next you assign a research project in class! It has been a long week here in Pennsylvania. We missed school on Monday due to snow. Tuesday night we had a horrendous ice storm and schools were closed again Wednesday and Thursday. Today we are operating on a delay with five of our thirteen school operating on generators. Generators mean no phone service and no Wifi. What is a technology teacher to do? Today will be the perfect day for discussion. Talking about how we can accomplish tasks such as communicating with classmates and conducting research without the use of phones or computers. This is the perfect opportunity to break into groups to create lists of alternatives to using technology and fostering teamwork. It should be fun as most of my students were born with iPads and iPhones in their hands. If I light some candles and break out the ink pots we could really take a trip back in time! I will update later with some photos of the results!

Topology of the CD2–CD48 cell-adhesion molecule complex: implications for antigen recognition by T cells
Topology of the CD2–CD48 cell-adhesion molecule complex: implications for antigen recognition by T cells
Current Biology, Volume 5, Issue 1,

Background: The T-lymphocyte cell-surface molecule, CD2, was the first heterophilic cell-adhesion molecule to be discovered and has become an important paradigm for understanding the structural basis of cell adhesion. Interaction of CD2 with its ligands, CD58 (in humans) and CD48 (in mice and rats), contributes to antigen recognition by T cells. CD2, CD48 and CD58 are closely related members of the immunoglobulin superfamily and their extracellular regions are predicted to have very similar structures. The three-dimensional crystal structure of this region of CD2 has been determined, revealing two immunoglobulin domains with the ligand-binding site situated on an exposed β sheet in the membrane-distal domain. This GFCC′C″β sheet is also involved in a homophilic 'head-to-head' interaction in the CD2 crystal lattice, which has been proposed to be a model for the interactions of CD2 with its ligands.
Results We show that the CD2-binding site on rat CD48 lies on the equivalent β-sheet of its membranedistal immunoglobulin domain. By making complementary mutations, we have shown that two charged residues in the CD48 ligand-binding site interact directly with two oppositely charged residues in CD2's ligand-binding site. These results indicate that the amino-terminal immunoglobulin domains of CD2 and CD48 bind each other in the same orientation as the CD2–CD2 crystal lattice interaction, strongly supporting the suggestion that CD2 interacts head-to-head with its ligand. Modelling CD48 onto the CD2 structure reveals that the CD2–CD48 complex spans approximately the same distance (134 å) as predicted for the complex between the T-cell receptor and the peptide-bound major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule.
Conclusion Our results, together with recent structural studies of CD2, provide the first indication of the specific topology of a cell-adhesion molecule complex. The similar dimensions predicted for the CD2–CD48 complex and the complex between the T-cell receptor and the peptide-bound MHC molecule suggest that one of the functions of CD2 may be to position the plasma membranes of the T cell and the antigen-presenting (or target) cell at the optimal distance for the low-affinity interaction between the T-cell receptor and the peptide-bound MHC molecule.

Steve Jobs FBI file: four humanizing revelations
Steve Jobs' FBI file shows a man motivated by power and the desire to achieve great things. The Steve Jobs FBI file also produced surprising details that humanize a great visionary.
Steve Jobs' just-released FBI file depicts a computer executive motivated by power and the desire to achieve great things. It also reveals him to be a demanding boss who sometimes slashed at underlings' egos and was, in the view of some people, willing to engage in dishonesty and deceit to reach his goals.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
One critic interviewed by the FBI went so far as to say that he thought Mr. Jobs would make a fine politician. He did not mean this as a compliment.
"He concluded by saying that although he does not consider [Jobs] to be a personal friend, he believed [Jobs] has what it takes to assume a high political position within the government, which in his opinion, honesty and integrity are not prerequisites to assume such a position," reported the FBI agent who conducted the interview.
RECOMMENDED: 20 iPhone tips and tricks everyone should know
At the time, in early 1991, the FBI was conducting a background search of Jobs because he was being considered for a position on the George H.W. Bush administration's President's Export Council. According to the Associated Press, he did eventually serve in that capacity.
As such, the background check was aimed at producing a general picture of Jobs and any possible personal problems that would embarrass the White House or render him unfit to serve the country.
The person who emerges from the 191 pages of the file is not dissimilar to the Jobs already depicted by the media after his death in October. But the FBI still managed to produce some surprising details that today humanize someone who was both a great visionary and an occasional nightmare to subordinates and competitors.
For instance, as we've already noted, his neighbors loved him. One gushed that just the previous day Jobs had paid a visit to make sure that his landscape work wasn't intrusive. He came to neighbors' dinners, jogged around a lot, and in general seemed like the sort of person who'd help you jump-start your car in the morning.
In addition:
He Did Not Get Great Grades.
The FBI contacted Homestead High School in Cupertino, Calif., which Jobs attended from September 1968 until June 1972. Guess what? He was a mediocre student. His overall GPA was 2.65.
Today's mediocre students should not all take comfort from this, however. At the same time, Jobs was already fooling around with computers and computer-oriented friends in a manner that in retrospect showed great promise. (Yes, Bill Gates dropped out of college, too. But it was already clear he was a genius of some sort.)
He Was Not a Joiner.
In his personal interview with the FBI, Jobs told the bureau that he was a member of no organization save the New York Athletic Club. But he added that he knew nothing about that club, or its membership policies, because he had never actually been there.

We can guarantee that every one of our reviews has been genuinely submitted by past guests who have taken the time to give their independent thoughts and feelings on what has been a fabulous stay.
Distances to the attractions: As you will see from the advertised properties for holiday rentals many state they are a short distance from Disney and sometimes people within the vicinity of our location do tend to underestimate the time that it takes to get from their property to Disney. We can assure all potential guests that our villa is located in Zone A which is the same zone as Disney itself and the only way that you could get any closer is to stay on Disney property. We have driven to Disney many times and enjoy the drive, you can decide where you wish to eat that evening when passing the numerous restaurants. It takes between 5 to 10 minutes, including the traffic to actually get onto Disney owned property via the Animal Kingdom entrance (Black Lake Road). Our estate can be accessed via the first entrance on your left after leaving Highway US192.
I was born and brought up in Yorkshire. After completing my degree at University I pursued my ambition to join the Royal Air Force. I joined in 2001 as a Logistics Officer and thoroughly enjoy the lifestyle and fast pace. I am currently completing my Masters Degree within the Force. I still go home to Yorkshire and enjoy quite a hectic social life.
Having spent several holidays in a villa on this estate I had no hesitation when I decided to buy a villa in looking for one on this estate. I was more than delighted when I found just the one for me, a beautiful location in an area I knew, as a previous holiday maker, to be just perfect for everything I wanted in a holiday, shops, dining and of course all the attractions and most of all close to the Magic of Disney being the first turn off at the top of the 192. Having spent many holidays since this 90's in this area I have seen it grow and take steps forward in what it has to offer the holiday maker. Another added bonus is that it has many permanent residents which gives a greater sense of security, you also get a better feel for the American way of life. You are guaranteed to see a friendly face, our housekeeper is a neighbour and a great friend to you if you need her.
The first welcome sight is that of the bench in the front porch area. A perfect spot to sit and soak up the atmosphere. On entering the villa the space is quite striking, so much of it. The pool area is one of my favourite spots, it also has the benefit of an under cover seating area and is very private. A great benefit is the games room, just the spot to relax after the parks. When we go to the villa we are always doing something - decorating, changing things around just as you do at home. Without a doubt I see the villa as my second home and treat it as such. We have welcomed many guests, many have returned several times because they feel so comfortable and at home.
Located on Highway US27, only 0.5 miles south of the junction to the west end of the Highway US192, and a short distance from Interstate 4, the ideal location - so close to all the action! Davenport Lakes is a perfectly situated residential estate with welcoming neighbours. It boasts a large community pool, with changing facilities, by the lake, alongside are tennis and basketball courts and a children's play area, and as our guests these facilities are for your use. The villa is just a 5 minute drive from two very large supermarkets, one of which is open 24/7, and close to a vast array of restaurants. The shopping malls are not far, Posner Park is located only 8 miles away, all the designer shops you can handle. There are golf courses ranging from walking distance to a 30 minute drive and beyond. The villa falls into Zone A which is the same zone that Walt Disney World falls into. Universal Studios and Seaworld are approximately 20- 30 minutes drive and Cocoa Beach and Kennedy Space Centre a further 40-50 minutes drive.
Golf: For all the golf lovers, we have a well manicured 9-hole Executive course which is located right on the door step of the villa, only 0.5 miles away from the front door. The Polo Park East Golf Course is located within the estate, and is an amentiy that not many other villa owners on this site can offer such close access to, especially as Florida has many of the best golf courses in the world. The course is open to all members of the public and players can tee off at any time of the day as the course does not tie players into tee time reservations. The course also offers a men's scramble each Wednesday and Saturday at 8.00am and a women's scramble each Tuesday and Thursday at 8.00am. This executive 9-hole golf course measures 1,235 yards from the women's or red tees, 1,521 yards from the white tees and 1,850 yards from the blue tees. The par is 29. Golf memberships are available on a six-monthly and yearly basis to non-residents which makes a visit to Florida even more affordable and a reason to make a return visit.
Ridgewood Lake Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole golf course open to all members of the public and is only 12 miles away from the villa. It offers banqueting facilities, food and beverage service, driving range, and a pro shop to mention but a few.
Highlands Reserve Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course open to all members of the public and is only 3 miles from the villa.

Conservative justices may hate Obamacare, but they should not overrule Congress
The Supreme Court's conservative justices deliberating on the health care law known as Obamacare should heed the historical example of Republican-appointed justice, Harlan Fiske Stone. He detested New Deal policies but argued the court had no right to overturn them.
(Page 2 of 2)
Stone's dissent reminded his colleagues that they decide only whether Congress could enact the AAA, not whether it should. Stone argued that the broad language of the tax and spend clause confirmed that the framers meant to grant Congress extensive powers to exercise at its own discretion.
Skip to next paragraphAnd rightly so, he exclaimed, for the people can replace a Congress that enacts a dumb law, while only the unelected court's "sense of self restraint" prevents abuses of its own power. Indeed, Stone's closing suggested that the court's decision to usurp Congress's power over the national economy would ultimately threaten the liberties of the people more than the horrible regulations that the court's majority feared.
The arguments supporting the AAA's invalidation closely resemble those made by the conservative justices during the oral arguments that addressed the mandate's constitutionality. Congress's constitutionally granted power to enact all laws necessary and proper to regulate interstate commerce plainly authorizes the mandate, a crucial component of regulations designed to increase access to the vast and often indispensable interstate market in health insurance.
But the conservative justices seemed inclined to invent another formal limitation on Congress's power that the Constitution does not mention, this time to prevent regulations of economic "inactivity" like decisions not to purchase insurance. They suggested that the limitation is necessary to prevent the passage of horrible regulations, like mandates to buy cell phones or broccoli.
As Stone would have recognized, such horrible hypotheticals should not affect the constitutionality of the mandate because the people can simply vote out a Congress stupid enough to enact them. Stone understood that slippery slopes to horrible sounding laws merely provide an excuse for justices to impose on the people a laissez-faire economic philosophy that the Constitution nowhere requires.
The five conservatives on the current court clearly believe that laissez-faire economics are essential to freedom. So did Stone. Indeed, Congressman Harlan Fiske Stone would have opposed the AAA and much of the New Deal. But Justice Stone recognized that when the Constitution authorizes congressional action, his robe did not confer to him the right to overturn a Congress that disagrees with him.
Stone thought he could best protect the liberties he cherished by allowing Congress, and not the unelected court, to choose the nation's economic policies. Hopefully at least one of the five liberty-loving conservatives on the current court will reach the same conclusion.
Eric Schepard, a graduate of Northwestern Law School and Amherst College, has previously published in The American Journal of Legal History. He has extensively researched the legacy of Harlan Fiske Stone and its relation to contemporary issues.

Kathleen Courtney "Kathy" Hochul (pronounced HOKE-ul; born August 27, 1958)[5] is an American politician who was the U.S. Representative for New York's 26th congressional district from June 1, 2011 to January 3, 2013. She prevailed in the four-candidate special election of May 24, 2011, to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Republican Chris Lee,[6] and was the first Democrat to represent the district in 40 years.[1]
Hochul served as the County Clerk of Erie County, New York from 2007 until 2011, when she assumed her seat in Congress. Previously, she was a deputy county clerk, a member of the Hamburg town board, a practicing attorney, and a legislative aide.
Hochul was defeated for re-election by Republican former Erie County Executive Chris Collins, after being redistricted to the 27th district. She currently serves as a government relations specialist with Buffalo based M&T Bank.[7]
Early life, education, and pre-congressional career[edit]
Hochul was born Kathleen Courtney, the second oldest of the six children of John Courtney, then a college student and clerical worker, and Pat Courtney, a homemaker.[1] Hochul's family struggled financially during her early years and for a time lived in a trailer near a steel plant.[1] By the time Hochul was in college, however, her father was working for the information technology company which he later headed.[1]
Hochul became politically active during her college years at Syracuse University, leading a boycott of the student bookstore over high prices and an unsuccessful effort to name the university stadium after running back Ernie Davis, an alumnus, instead of the Carrier Corporation.[1] She received her B.A. degree from Syracuse in 1980 and her law degree from the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. in 1984.[1][2]
After graduating from law school, Hochul began working for a high-powered Washington D.C. law firm, but found the work unsatisfying.[1] She then worked on Capitol Hill as a legal counsel-legislative assistant to U.S. Representative John LaFalce and U.S. Senator Daniel Moynihan, and for the New York State Assembly, before seeking elected office.[8][9]
She became involved in local issues as a booster of small businesses who tried to counteract the effect of Walmart stores.[9] She was elected as the Democratic and Conservative Party candidate to the Hamburg in November 1994.[10][11] While on the town board, she led efforts to remove toll barriers on parts of the New York State Thruway system.[12][13]
In May 2003, Erie County clerk David Swarts appointed Hochul as his deputy clerk.[8][10] When Swarts left office in 2007, Governor Eliot Spitzer appointed Hochul to fill the post. Though she had been appointed county clerk by Spitzer, she opposed Spitzer's proposal to allow illegal immigrants to apply for a driver's license without producing a social security card.[14] She said that if the proposal went into effect, she would call the sheriff's office to bring such applicants in for questioning.[14] She was elected later in 2007 to fill the remainder of Swarts' term.[15][16] She ran for reelection on four ballot lines: Democratic, Conservative, Independence and Working Families Party, defeating Republican Clifton Bergfeld in November 2010 with 80 percent of the vote.[9][17]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
2011 special election[edit]
Hochul ran in the four-way special election race of May 24, 2011 to fill the seat in New York's 26th congressional district left vacant by the resignation of Republican Chris Lee. She was the Democratic Party and Working Families Party nominee.[18] Hochul's residence in Hamburg, just outside the 26th district, became an issue during her campaign, though it did not legally disqualify her from seeking the seat.[19] One month after her victory, she moved into the district, fulfilling a campaign promise.[19][20]
The Republican and Conservative Party candidate, state legislator Jane Corwin, was at first strongly favored to win in the Republican-leaning district which had sent a Republican to Congress for the previous four decades.[1][21][22] A late April poll had Corwin leading Hochul 36-31 percent; independent Tea Party candidate Jack Davis trailed at 23 percent.[23] An early May poll however, gave Hochul a narrow 35–31 lead,[24] and shortly thereafter the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report called the race a "toss-up".[25] Additional polling in the days immediately preceding the election had Hochul leading by four and six point margins.[26][27] Additional polling in the days immediately preceding the election had Hochul leading by four- and six-point margins.
In a Washington Post article, it was noted that in the face of a possible upset victory but Hochul, there was already a "full blown spin war" about the meaning of the results. The article went on to say that, for Democrats, the close race was a result of "House Republicans' budget plan authored by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan — and, in particular, his proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher program." For Republicans, it was the result of millionaire Jack Davis, who spent "millions to pull votes away from Republican Jane Corwin." The article also stated that something being overlooked was that Hochul was "simply a stronger candidate than Republican Jane Corwin."[28]
Hochul's strength stemmed from starting her career as an aide to Senator Daniel Moynihan, who was "one of the most admired politicians in New York history." She has been described as sweet and earnest. She was described as a successful campaigner, but as someone who can do that by "being not the least bit slick." Hochul was linked to tangible local accomplishments, like when she "broke with then Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) on license plates for illegal immigrants — and got a write-up in the New York Times for it."[28]
The seat was viewed as a difficult one to obtain for a Democrat, and "only a really solid campaigner could make it happen."[28]
Hochul's victory was almost universally viewed as astonishing, given that the district is heavily Republican and that Corwin outspent her almost 2-1.
The campaign featured a number of negative television ads, with nonpartisan FactCheck accusing both sides of "taking liberties with the facts." In particular, FactCheck criticized the Democrats' ads for claiming that the Republican candidate would "essentially end Medicare", even though the plan would leave Medicare intact for current beneficiaries.[22] The organization also faulted the Republicans' for ads portraying Hochul as a puppet of former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi, and for claiming that Hochul planned to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits.[22]
- Campaign funding
Hochul was endorsed by EMILY's List, a political action committee that supports Democratic women candidates, including those who are pro-choice.[29][30] She was the fifth largest recipient of EMILY's List funds in 2011, receiving more than $27,000 in bundled donations from the organization.[30] The Democrat and Chronicle endorsed Hochul "for her tenacity and independence",[31] while The Buffalo News endorsed her for her positions on preserving Medicare and her record of streamlining government.[32]
- Victory
Hochul defeated Corwin 47 to 43 percent in the special election held on May 24, with Jack Davis receiving 9 percent, and Green Party candidate Ian Murphy receiving 1 percent of the vote.
On the day of the election, it was reported that Hochul's impending victory would be "a serious blow to the GOP agenda, and, more specifically, Paul Ryan's budget plan that would end Medicare as we know it."[33]
It was also noted that when Democratic strategists were not considering Hochul a serious candidate, "It was Emily's List and the Working Families Party, a union-backed grassroots party, that kept talking up Hochul—who ran on the third party's ballot line, taking advantage of New York's fusion law, which allows crossendorsements." Hochul achieved success widely due to her efforts in battling the Republican budget, which aimed to makes cuts to Medicaid and privatize Social Security.[34]
2012 election[edit]
Hochul lost her re-election bid to Collins by a 51% to 49% margin.
Because her victory came in a special election and because it was an upset win that turned on a major issue, Hochul received major national and even international coverage. She has reportedly already established herself as an important player in Congress.
Over her years in local politics, Hochul had built reputation for focusing on local issues that mattered to her constituents and that make a difference to their pocketbooks. Since joining Congress, she has voted on every bill that has come before the House.[35]
In Hochul's first few weeks in office, she co-sponsored a couple bills with Brian Cogan to help streamline the passport acquisition process. She also met with the President about the economy and job creation and introduced a motion on the House to restore the Republican cuts to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. She also quickly started looking for areas to reduce the deficit, open to reducing Medicaid spending, as long as it wasn't in the form of block grants offered to states, as proposed in the GOP budget blueprint. She also had spoken with President Obama about ending tax breaks for oil companies and protecting small businesses.[36]
While campaigning for Congress, Hochul defined herself as an "independent Democrat".[9] In an interview with the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, she cited as examples of her independence her opposition to Spitzer's drivers' license program for illegal immigrants and her opposition to Governor David Paterson's proposal in 2010 to raise revenue by requiring all vehicle owners to buy new license plates.[9]
- Trade
On September 17, 2011, Robert J. McCarthy noted that Hochul and her election opponent Jack Davis were now bonding over their opposition to free trade. "We saw what happened with NAFTA; the promises never materialized," she said of the North American Free Trade Agreement. "If I have to stand up to my own party on this, I'm willing to do so."[37]
- Energy
During her congressional campaign, Hochul favored offering incentives to develop alternative energy.[12]
In June 2011, Hochul opposed legislation that would cut funding for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) by 44 percent, on the ground that the CFTC curbs speculation in oil and the resulting layoffs of CFTC personnel would "make it easier for Big Oil companies and speculators to take advantage of ... consumers".[38]
- Fiscal issues
While running for the U.S. House, Hochul supported raising taxes on those making more than $500,000 per year.[12] She opposed the new free trade agreements that were then under consideration, saying, "We don't need to look any further than Western New York to see that these policies do not work." She believes that free trade agreements such as NAFTA and CAFTA have suppressed U.S. wages and benefits and caused job loss in the U.S.[39]
Hochul called the summer 2011 debt ceiling issue "a distraction" to which the American people should not be subjected.[40][clarification needed]
Hochul acknowledged during her campaign that substantial cuts must be made in the federal budget, and said she would consider cuts in all entitlement programs. However, she expressed opposition to the Republican plan that would re-form Medicare into a voucher system, saying it "would end Medicare as we know it".[12][41] She said money could be saved in the Medicare program by eliminating waste and purchasing prescription drugs in bulk.[12] She also said that the creation of more jobs would alleviate Medicare and Social Security budget shortfalls due to increased collections of payroll taxes.[12]
On November 19, 2011, Brian Tumulty of WQRZ reported that Hochul had voted for a balanced budget amendment, which she called "a bipartisan solution.[42]
- Health care
On September 16, 2011, David Weigel quoted Hochul on lowering Medicare costs: "We need to cut the underlying costs of health care, which are making Medicare more expensive. Democrats are in agreement....We have to make sure that we get equity with respect to prescription drugs – the drug prices under Medicare are obscenely high. Why are veterans at VA hospitals paying less for prescription drugs than people who are under Medicare Part D? That's an area we should go after. Medicare fraud is getting out of control....I think we should have Medicare cover home health care. Look at the savings we'd have if we covered home health care and tele-health services. Instead, people in rural areas have to go hospitals at the dead of the night. If we look at this holistically, we can cut the underlying costs."[43]
Hochul expressed support for the 2010 health care reform legislation passed by the 111th Congress and said during her campaign that she would not vote to repeal it.[12] In response to a constituent's question during a town-hall meeting in February 2012, she was booed for saying that the federal government was ''not looking to the Constitution'' under the Obama administration requirement that non-religious employers provide their workers with insurance coverage for birth control.[44][45] A spokesman later stated that she'd misspoken, but did not clarify her answer.[45]
- Social issues
Hochul has said she is pro-choice on abortion.[3] She supports civil marriage for same-sex couples, with no requirements on religious institutions.[46]
Committee assignments[edit]
Community activities[edit]
Hochul is a founder and a member of the Board of Directors of Kathleen Mary House, a transitional home for women and children who are victims of domestic violence.[39][47] She was also co-founder of the Village Action Coalition, and a member of the Board of Trustees at Immaculata Academy in Hamburg.[39]
Personal life[edit]
She is married to William Hochul, who serves as the United States Attorney for the Western District of New York.[48] They reside in Snyder, New York,[20] and are the parents of two children, William and Caitlin.[39][48]
On the Constitution[edit]
At a town hall meeting in Lancaster, New York, Kathy Hochul told the crowd that the federal government was "not looking to the Constitution" when mandating that religious organizations provide birth control to their employees. Video of her comment went viral.[49]
County Clerk Backlog[edit]
Following Kathy Hochul's departure as County Clerk, a back log of mail was discovered by newly elected County Clerk, Chris Jacobs. Millions of dollars were stored in boxes in unopened envelopes.[50] As County Clerk, Kathy Hochul was in the process of implementing a new system, when she left to run in the special election and then to assume office. Thousands of dollars were spent in overtime to deposit checks and file unopened documents. However none of the un-cashed checks dated to Hochul's term as clerk.[51]
Political future[edit]
Hochul has terminated her campaign committee and is not running against Collins again in 2014.[52] She is speculated as a candidate for Mayor of Buffalo in 2017.[53]

Nicholas Wilt was on the inception team for CUDA, starting in 2005 and continuing work on it until he left NVIDIA in late 2010. As the primary architect of CUDA's driver API, he is responsible for most of the low-level abstractions that CUDA programs deal with: from contexts and modules to streams and events, portable and mapped pinned memory, CUDA arrays and texture and surface references.
Before joining NVIDIA in 2002, Mr. Wilt worked on multimedia at Microsoft in various roles. Among other things, he was the development lead for Direct3D 5.0 and Direct3D 6.0, worked on the Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) that shipped in Windows XP, and built a prototype page-flipping desktop that eventually became the Windows Desktop Manager.

Radical Christian history
An ordinary hero
ALONSO RODRIGUEZ [1532-1617] is a shining example of 'blooming where you're planted'. He didn't found churches, win crowds to Jesus or conquer heresy. He was one of God's 'unknowns', who won hidden victories: over failure, sickness, loss and heartbreak.
Rodriguez was a wool merchant with a wife and three children, but by the time he was 40, they...

Breaking the bounds
Trevor Saxby tells the remarkable story of the Beguines, a radical Christian women's movement in the Middle Ages.Published: 23rd Sep 2012WE LIVE IN days of great social upheaval. The late 1100s were much the same. There was a great migration away from rural life and into the towns, where a new "middle class" of merchants and craftsmen evolved. Also, the Crusades had led thousands of men to their death, leaving an imbalance of women.
The Church was not well placed to cope with this new climate. For centuries,...

Trevor Saxby writes about a remarkable man of God who stayed grateful to God through war, plague and famine.Published: 24th Jan 2012HUMANLY speaking, Martin Rinkart (1586-1649) was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In God's plan, though, he was in the right place and destined to be a shining example of gratitude to God in the direst of circumstances.
He had just been made Lutheran minister of the walled town of Eilenburg, north-east of Leipzig, when the Thirty Years War broke out. It lasted for the rest of...

Trevor Saxby finds a striking word for today – in a collection of 1600-year-old sermons!Published: 21st Sep 2011BASIL of Caesarea, Church Father and theologian, wrote his sermon To the Rich sixteen centuries ago, but the context was strikingly similar to today.

This isn't some present-day church growth article; it comes from an English newspaper, The Northern Daily Express and was written in March 1879, as part of a report on early Salvation Army meetings in Gateshead in the Northeast of England.

Pendragon performs their original songs and dancetunes on a combination of fiddle, flute, bouzouki, concertina, banjo, guitar, whistle, and percussion. Inperformance, the group elaborates on the cultural and historical context of the music while projecting ahumorous stage presence that comes from almost 30 years of performance together.
The band released their 8th album, "Still Standing," on Blackstone River Theatre's RiverFolk Productionslabel in late 2008.
Past tributes include three straight Boston Music Award nominations for Outstanding Celtic Act and aGovernor's Tourism Award. Pendragon was voted Rhode Island's Best Celtic Act in the 2011, 2010, 2009,2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 MOTIF Magazine Best Music Polls. They have also been voted Best Local FolkAct of the Year in the Providence Phoenix' Best Music Poll eight times.
Pendragon is comprised of step dancer and percussionist Kevin Doyle, Bob Drouin on fiddle, bouzoukiand tenor banjo; Russell Gusetti on guitar and concertinas; Josh Kane on flute and whistles; and MaryLee Partington on vocals.

With keen understatement, Vital Signs strings together glimpses at real life conversations between men and women at the outset of their adulthood, grappling with relationships, money, school, and work. Proof positive that the intellectual striving that has sparked previous generations, despite what some may say, is alive and well in America.
It is the far future, and humans and Dracs are mortal enemies, locked in a terrible war. In the middle of a battle, a soldier from Earth, Willis Davidge (Dennis Quaid), crash-lands on a barren world. His search for survivors only turns up one other stranded pilot - a Drac (Louis Gossett Jr.). The two are hostile at first, but quickly realize that on this savage world, they have no choice but to band together in order to survive. In the process, they learn about each other's cultures, and a grudging respect eventually develops into full-fledged friendship.
Xenophobia gives way to friendship as an alien and his human enemy gain mutual respect when their survival on a desolate planet relies on peaceful coexistence.

To solve the actors accident/crime he has to collect clues wch are hidden in his own accident in wch he lost his son years back.. So the tag line the Answer lies within.. Just a guess might be wrong

i dont think aamir is stupid enough to reveal so much from the trailer.. in any case aamir's movie is a must watch on FDFS for me..

I don't understand why aamir put this ghatiya moustache. It's not looking good at all.

Lol tashan just cos u did not like him in the photo u hav no expectation from the movie ?? Hahahahaha.. I too hate amir but I feel the director is good so the movie may be good.. I too don't think amir has a good script sense.. He is just lucky that he has excellent directors..
