Who can deny a total eclipse of the horizon.
And there ya´ have it. Six year old kids suspended for pointing a finger in a threatening manner, or a school suspending someone for a very mild comment related to the busybody first lady - and we wonder why schools are turning out blithering idiots who lack critical thinking skills...Meanwhile, the writer of this article demonstrates the ´rant´ end of the spectrum where the Obama´s are concerned - is, has been, and always will be - from their adoring media shills.Pass the ribs please.
The writer has misquoted and slandered Rush, probably intentionally. Rush calls her either Moochelle or Michelle my belle. He has never said, Michelle my butt. But do not expect a retraction from the Washington Post.
Michelle and Hillary should form a singing partnership. They could call themselves the "Keister Sisters".
He was suspended? For what?
She had been compared to a bowling pin and a shmoo. But the latter were cheerful and had no arms, so that doesn´t work.She appears to have lordosis - a curvature of the spine that throws the belly forward and then curves to the back to make a pronounced derriere. (Think ostrich.) But that doesn´t explain why her legs appear to be a foot apart at the top. Or is that because of thigh fat?Someone needs to tell kissy Krissah that "cankles" are calves and ankles combined.
There is no legal justification for suspending the coach for expressing hisopinion.Michelle is FLOTUS -she is the beard for the Usurper.Her Lets Move and school lunch program are reminiscent of the Soviet Union.Why did her law license?Why did the community organizer?The Emperor has no clothes and this grifter should be ridiculed at every chance.Allysky her.
OK, I´ll lay off her butt. Butt what about those thighs?
Why would any normal person waste a moment of time even thinking about Michelle Obama? We elected her to nothing and the only thing she´s done of significence is spend the voters money globe hopping with her children and retinue. Now her husband, that´s a different story. He´s worth a rant or two!
What number 7 said! She is the Beard for Barry...just axe Larry Sinclair.
Frankly, I find the fact that said instructor was suspended offensive and ridiculous. Where were the same persons across the isle when they were screaming obscenities at G. Bush or throwing shoes in his face?
I am surprised she has time to go out in public; it must take forever to whip that body into shape and wax all of it.Still saying she had a major overhaul during the winter vacay.
Ah yes, Sasquatch and her fat rear end. Four more rears, four more rears!
#5, he was suspended for having an indepndent opinion and for not being a loyal leftist robot. They cannot allow someone like that, who doesn´t toe the line, influence children! It may interfere with their indoctrination. No, he must be re-educated and have sensitivity training. Then maybe, just maybe, they will let him return if he promises to extoll the "virtues" of leftist ideology, promises to worship the Obamas, and allows them to bug and place cameras in his home, vehicle and office to make sure he doesn´t stray again.
I can tolorate her fat butt. It is her never closing mouth that I can´t put up with!!!!Art
She **IS** fat! Just look at the arm/shoulder fat rolling over her dress in the first picture on the link!WHY won´t she just go away???
I hope that Grisham sues.
In my day, we just said, "Crisco."

Gwinnett Daily Post
This is going to be a special Thanksgiving. My great-grandson, Cameron Yarbrough, and I are going to begin a new family tradition this week by sharing a birthday celebration. He will hit the ripe old age of 1 tomorrow, and two days later I will become slightly older than Kennesaw Mountain.
The joint celebration is his mother's idea. It had been her stated intention to present the young man on my birthday but after a few jolts of labor pain that equated to holding onto a high-voltage wire, she determined that no good deed goes unpunished and he could come when he got good and ready. Cameron is special because he is our first great-grandchild and because he has breathed new life into our family after the loss of our beloved grandson, Zack, last year. His mother has decided that the two of us will begin this tradition and that it will last as long as I do. I am excited and now plan to live longer than Methuselah. If I am successful, I hope I am smarter than I have been up to this point. Old age brings wisdom, but not always when it should. It took tragedy to shatter my conceit and to recalibrate my value system. What once seemed very important now seems trivial. I marvel when I think back on all the things that consumed me at the time. None of them matters today. In truth, they probably didn't matter then. I just thought they did. What is important to me now is sharing birthday cake with a 1-year old who will probably opt for baby food that looks like radioactive poop. That's OK as long as I don't have to eat it. No longer do I take anything for granted. Not one hour. Not one day. I have discovered that things can change in a flash and alter your life forever. I know now that I cannot make things happen the way I want them to happen. So much of life is beyond our control. It has been a humbling but necessary experience. It is impossible to alter the past, but you can be thankful for what you have today, and if you think about it, you have a lot. You live in the freest country on Earth. You have people who love you even when you aren't very loveable. And you have friends. Thank God for friends. For 35 years, we have lived next door to Jim and Bootsie Callaham. We built homes about the same time. We built a strong friendship. We watched our children grow up together. We watched each other's houses when one of us was out of town. We still do. We celebrated the birth of grandchildren. We grieved at each other's loss of young men who should have outlived us all. We fret over illnesses that seem to come too often as we age. It was Bootsie Callaham, an accomplished artist, who encouraged me to take up art. That is a debt I can never repay. Thanks to her and a gifted teacher in Marietta, Kris Meadows, I have discovered that at my advanced age, I can still learn and do something new. This column gives me the opportunity to make new friends. I made a bunch a few weeks ago when I rode with the Marietta Harley-Davidson Owners Group (HOGS) on their annual USO charity tour around Cobb County. Given that I can't ride a tricycle, let alone a Harley, I'm not sure we would ever have run across each other, but I'm glad we did. If I am ever in a foxhole, they will be my first call. A great family, loyal friends, a strong faith, good health, the freedom to express my opinions, your freedom to agree or disagree, the privilege of living in a country where we can exercise that freedom and many more and now the opportunity to share birthday cake with a 1-year-old for what I hope will be many birthdays to come it doesn't get much better than this. Count your own blessings. You will find they are many. It has taken me a long time to understand that. Happy Thanksgiving one and all and Cameron, if you are reading this let's party!

As partners in Christ, couples serve together
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (Long Island Catholic) - In a quiet church on Dec. 30, he knelt down and washed her feet. When he was done, he kissed each foot and then popped the question right there in the chapel at St. Gabriel�s Spiritual Center for Youth on Shelter Island.
COMMITMENT - August and Rita Ripp, both 92, got married when they were 23 years old and have been married more than 68 years.
For Anthony Muhs, 23, and Stephanie Kerchinski, 23, it was their dream engagement. For years, Stephanie had imagined that her husband would wash her feet. For her, it was the sign of ultimate humility and service.
When she saw the pail of water that day, she knew what was coming. He did too. �I knew she would say, �yes,�� he said.
While it may seem odd to some that an engagement story included a foot washing, to this couple it symbolizes what their relationship is all about: service.
When Jesus knelt before the disciples to wash their feet, it was a symbol of �Christ serving the bride of the Church,� Anthony explained.
As Anthony and Stephanie make plans to wed on August 9 this year, they are also preparing for a life of service to each other. �My job is to serve her, she will serve me,� Anthony said.
Human love is divine
Recently, the engaged couple sat together at Hofstra University in Hempstead. They agreed to be interviewed by TLIC before their weekly group meeting of Theology of the Body on the divine meaning of human love. When the interview went a little late and they missed the meeting, they didn�t mind. They had already read and discussed the chapters at home.
It�s been four years since Anthony and Stephanie met in music class at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio. It wasn�t love at first sight.
�He was a New York punk wearing a bandana and sweat pants,� she said.
�I thought she was nerdy and joyful, like a product of the �70s,� he countered. �I was not used to people smiling so much. She wore overalls and loved daisies.�
But feelings changed, first for Stephanie. One day, she heard him play a song on the piano that he had written for the person he hoped to marry someday. It was called, �Everything You Are to Me.�
�I was just in awe,� she said.
They became good friends, but Anthony was not ready for a relationship. When he first arrived at school, he did not attend Mass regularly. But soon he felt God calling him to something more. Along with growing a beard, he grew in his relationship with Christ. He questioned his future. Should he become a priest?
�Eventually, prayer changed my heart,� Anthony said. �It was like God was washing my window so I could see clearly.� He realized he was being called to marriage, but �for me to be a St. Joseph, I needed a Mary,� he said.
He realized he already cared for someone like that: Stephanie. They were both passionate about God, singing and playing the guitar and piano.
�I was co-chair of the liturgy committee at school,� she said.
�I did the praise and worship music,� he said.
After graduation, Stephanie moved into an apartment in Anthony�s hometown of Farmingdale.
Now, Stephanie teaches chorus at St. Martin de Porres Marianist School in Uniondale while Anthony is a campus minister at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville.
They lead song at Adelphi University in Garden City at the 7 p.m. Sunday Mass and lead music for the Spiritual Children of Padre Pio, a young adult ministry at Holy Name of Jesus Church in Woodbury. They also play for various vocation, college and seminary retreats as well as charismatic conferences.
They are excited and nervous about the big day, when they will finally share a home and the rest of their lives together. �I want to live up to being the man that she deserves, being an image of Christ for her,� Anthony said.
Marriage founded on faith
August and Rita Ripp, both 92, got married when they were 23 years old, the same age as Anthony and Stephanie are now. If you ask the Ripps what the secret is to their long-lasting marriage of 68 years, they can�t quite put a finger on it.
�Well, we never go to bed angry,� said Rita, a parishioner of St. Joseph�s Church in Babylon. �And first thing in the morning, he kisses me.�
But after many stories of Church and children, it�s evident their relationship is built on faith and family.
Like the intertwined fingers of lovers, the Ripps� family life and religious life are almost indistinguishable.Lining the walls of their home in North Babylon, there are pictures of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. But just as notable are photos of themselves being honored by bishops and priests for their years of service.
In one picture, Bishop John McGann thanks them for raising funds for the Bishop�s Appeal. In another, Bishop William Murphy awards them the St. Agnes Medal of Service. Bishop Murphy recently called recipients of this award �the unsung heroes in our midst who build up our parish communities by extraordinary service in parish ministry.�
The Ripps admit they�ve done a lot of service over the years: the Bishop�s Appeal, the Holy Name Society, bingo, the parish bazaar, the Chrysanthemum Ball, school fundraisers, hospital fundraisers and more.
And they are still going strong. August serves as an usher at the 9:30 a.m. Mass as he has done for 55 years. Rita has been an active member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas just as long. Together, they still serve in the St. Vincent de Paul Society at the parish, helping those in need in the local community.
�The need is so great � mortgage, rent, car insurance. I don�t know how these people are doing it,� said August, a retired director of production at Grumman.
Playing Santa
One of their favorite things to do together is to drop off Christmas presents to families, said Rita. Last year, they delivered gifts to a single dad raising a large family. The father was so grateful, he cried. �We went home and cried ourselves,� Rita said. �It gives us such satisfaction. It makes us thank God for our blessings.�
�God has been so good to us,� Rita said, recalling their love story. �Auggie was friends with my brother. On my 16th birthday, he was at the house. We walked out into the hallway and he asked me, �Have you ever been kissed?� And I said, �Of course, my mom and dad kiss me all the time!��
He leaned over and kissed her.
�I stood there, straight like this with my mouth open!�
�She was like a mummy!� he agreed with a laugh.
After that, they were a pair. Whether it was meeting at the Parthenon for a movie, sipping ice cream sodas for 10 cents, or meeting for a mid-day meal on their lunch break, they were always together.
Now, they share a different meal together every day at 7:45 a.m. They go to Mass to say, �Thanks.�
�We have a lot to be thankful for,� said August. They are hoping for one more blessing, �to celebrate our 70th anniversary together,� said Rita, crossing her fingers.
August, noting his carpal tunnel syndrome, couldn�t quite cross his fingers, so he dramatically used his other hand to do it. They laughed.

Senator JACINTA COLLINS (Victoria—Parliamentary Secretary for School Education and Workplace Relations) (17:15): I move:
That these bills be now read a second time.
I seek leave to have the second reading speeches incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
The speeches read as follows—
If you asked Australians if we should create a system where their health information can be easily transferred between their health practitioners- many would be surprised that such a system doesn't already exist.
The sad truth is that our medical information is not connected - despite how logical and possible it is to achieve.
In many ways, the absence of a system of electronic health records in Australia demonstrates the difficulties of health reform - the fragmentation, the vested interests and the balancing priorities.
But we clearly know the evidence of why we need to act.
Currently health information of individuals is fragmented across a range of locations rather than being attached to the patient. Consumers need to retell their story each time they visit a different clinician. This outdated approach can result in poor information flows, unnecessary re testing, delays and medical errors.
Studies in hospital environments have indicated that between 9% and 17% of tests are unnecessary duplicates.
Medication errors currently account for 190,000 admissions to hospitals each year. Up to 18% of medical errors are attributed to inadequate patient information.
There are situations demonstrating every day in Australia why the introduction of eHealth records will lead to improved care for patients.
A Victorian retiree on holiday away from his detailed medication history gets rushed by an ambulance to hospital.
A mother with two children who both suffer from asthma struggles to remember the different medications they have tried.
A carer tries to help their elderly mother with their healthcare who can't participate in her own health care.
Or a man with a chronic disease like diabetes who wants to better manage their disease - and ensure his doctors are all working off the same information.
These scenarios reflect the kinds of real-life situations that occur all around Australia every day.
EHealth records can change all these situations for the better.
That's why clinicians, health consumers and the health technology industry are all united in the call for electronic health records.
The National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission recommended to the Government in 2009 that "by 2012 every Australian should be able to have a personal electronic health record that will at all times be owned and controlled by that person"
This is a proposition that had widespread support in the extensive health reform forums and consultations that the Government held throughout 2009 and 2010 around Australia.
Australians saw the value in preventing errors and misdiagnosis. They saw the benefits in managing their own health and the health of their family members. And they saw the benefits in creating a more efficient and effective health system.
Our analysis shows that the net economic benefits of eHealth records are estimated at $11.5 billion until 2025.
To put it bluntly - there is widespread support for dragging the management of health records into the 21st century.
That's why this Government committed $467 million in the 2010 Federal Budget to a two year program to build the national infrastructure for personally controlled eHealth records.
Records will have the capacity to contain summary health information such as conditions, medications, allergies and records of medical events created by healthcare providers. The records will also be able to include discharge summaries from hospitals, information from Medicare systems and some information entered by consumers.
Australians rightly do not want their privacy threatened. They do not want one single massive data repository for all their records. They also want the right to participate, but not be forced to do so.
That's why we are designing this project to take heed of privacy from the ground up.
We are building a truly personally controlled record.
We're establishing new consent settings for sensitive information and auditing that doesn't currently exist for any of our records.
It is how our system will strike the right balance between security and access. Many of these protections are about ensuring that patients have the same protections over the access to digital records that they do over paper based records.
The bias is placed upon linking data sources around the country - much of which exists already in various forms in general practices, at the pharmacy, with pathology groups or at hospitals. This also means that we won't be building every technology solution - but providing the national infrastructure that only the Commonwealth Government can do.
Already there have been significant achievements made in the past few years towards the implementation of eHealth.
This Parliament passed legislation last year to implement the Healthcare Identifiers Service which provides the backbone identification system for eHealth.
There's now 1.1 million of these identifiers downloaded - across jurisdictions and lead implementation sites.
Twelve lead implementation sites have been established and are working with clinicians and patients to deploy eHealth solutions.
Partners have been appointed and are busy working in the key areas of building the national infrastructure, change management and evaluating the success and effectiveness of the solutions.
The implementation approach is both swift and careful. We are developing infrastructure in a set period of time, but the rollout will happen in a staged manner.
All through the process there has been extensive consultation with clinicians, consumers and the health IT industry.
The finalised Concept of Operations released in September is the result of much of this consultation - but the engagement work now continues as the fine details are completed.
This consultation is important because establishing eHealth records is not an end in itself. It has to deliver for clinicians and patients. This is why we have embedded e-health within our health reform agenda.
We want to know what is going to work for the patients - as well as the doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and others who have to deliver care.
Now this legislation I am introducing today will deliver the legal basis for this new system from when it starts registrations from 1 July 2012.
To develop this legislation we have had two rounds of public consultations - both on the legal issues for the system, and then on an exposure draft version of this Bill.
The central theme of our system and this Bill is that any Australian will be able to register for an eHealth record, and they will be able to choose the settings for who can access their record and the extent of that access.
When registered, consumers may be represented by authorised and/or nominated representatives. This allows minors and persons with limited or no capacity to have an eHealth record which details their medical history. Patients can choose to have a carer, family member or friend assist them with their record.
Apart from consumers, the other participants who can choose to register include healthcare provider organisations and repository and portal operators.
A registration framework will ensure regulation of all these parties, verification of identity, assurance that minimum technical, security and administrative requirements are met, and system accountability.
The Bill prescribes the circumstances in which eHealth record information can be collected, used or disclosed and imposes civil penalties for knowing or reckless unauthorised collection, use or disclosure.
All registered consumers and organisations will be subject to the Privacy Act 1988 or state or territory privacy laws as prescribed. The Privacy Act will also apply to the System Operator including the ability of the Information Commissioner to investigate an interference with privacy and to penalise an offending party.
The Bill also sets out requirements which apply to protect the privacy and security of patient health information. This includes notification of data breaches and storing all information and in Australia. These requirements are also subject to civil penalties.
The System Operator will be responsible for the operation of the system. The Department of Health and Ageing will initially perform this role. The Bill allows for the System Operator to change in future to a statutory authority. This will be the subject of future discussions, both with states and territories and with stakeholders.
The System Operator will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the basic infrastructure of the system - including a register of participants, index service for documents and national repositories where appropriate.
There will also be important safeguards that the System Operator will deliver including audit logs for access to records, reports on the performance of the system and mechanisms for handling complaints.
An Independent Advisory Council will provide expert advice on the operation of the system and on clinical, privacy and security matters.
The membership will include consumers, health providers and people with experience in critical areas such as rural health, indigenous health, administration, technology and legal or privacy issues.
A Jurisdictional Advisory Committee will include representatives of the Commonwealth, states and territories and will provide advice regarding their perspectives of the system.
The Australian Information Commissioner will be the key regulator for the system and will have the capacity to conduct audits, commence investigations and impose a range of sanctions, accept enforceable undertakings and investigate complaints.
To ensure transparency of the system, the System Operator and the Information Commissioner will be required to provide annual reports on the practical operation of the system to the Minister and the Ministerial Council. The system is to be reviewed two years after the Bill commences.
This legislation being introduced is yet another sign that this Government is getting on with the job of rolling out eHealth records.
This stands in stark contrast to the record of the Opposition in this area, and particularly its current leader. When he was the Health Minister he committed to establishing eHealth records. This of course didn't occur.
He recalled in 2005 (and I quote):
"Failure to establish an electronic patient record within five years, I said, would be an indictment against everyone in the system, including the Government. I hope to be judged against that somewhat rashly declared standard; not because it is likely to be fully met but because it would mean that, come next year, I remain the Health Minister!"
Of course this was a standard that he failed, much to the detriment of patients and clinicians alike.
However he failed a second test when in the lead up to the 2010 election, he promised that a Government he led would cut every cent of the $467 million that this Government had committed to eHealth.
This legislation presents another test. Will he do what is the right thing for this country and support bringing our health system into the 21st Century, or will he continue his well trodden path of just saying no.
For the sake of the future health care of Australians I hope that the Opposition can finally come on board.
Many people may see this system and legislation as being about technology. That's a mistake. It is about health care. It is about helping patients and doctors to prevent, cure and treat.
It also builds upon the other advances that are happening because of this Government's investment - namely the National Broadband Network and telehealth. Investments that are rolling out now and helping to better the lives of Australians.
The use of technology to improve care will have a similar effect to the other great advances in health care technology - such as antibiotics or x-rays. This is a once in a generation opportunity to deliver these important reforms.
I encourage this Parliament to support this improved health care through the passage of this Bill.
This Bill makes a number of minor, consequential amendments to existing Acts to support the introduction of the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records Bill 2011.
The system will enable patients who register to access their health information and make it available to participating healthcare providers, online, where and when it is needed.
To manage the information from different sources, a consumer's individual healthcare identifier number is used to ensure that only information relating to that consumer can be viewed through their eHealth record.
This Consequential Amendments Bill will ensure that the system is able to operate appropriately and effectively.
In order to enable the system to operate, a number of amendments to existing Acts are required, including to the Healthcare Identifiers Act 2010 to allow the system to take up and use healthcare identifiers. Using healthcare identifiers will allow more accurate matching of health information to the correct consumer record and allow more accurate identification of healthcare providers.
The amendments to the Healthcare Identifiers Act 2010 will authorise the System Operator, and other entities such as Medicare acting on behalf of the System Operator, to handle healthcare identifiers in various ways including the capacity to:
collect, use and disclose healthcare identifiers for the purpose of registering consumers in the system; and
use healthcare identifiers to verify the identity of individuals during the registration process;
Similarly, authorisations are also sought for repository providers to:
disclose healthcare identifiers for the purpose of indexing documents uploaded to a consumers electronic health record; and
adopt healthcare identifiers as the main identifiers in their repository for information that is to be used within the system.
There will also need to be amendments to the Health Insurance Act 1973 and the National Health Act 1953 to allow a range of health records stored by Medicare to be included in a consumer's eHealth record if the consumer so chooses.
The consequential amendments proposed in this Bill will allow a range of records created by Medicare to be included in a consumer's eHealth record. Consumers will be able to choose to have their Medical Benefits Scheme, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, organ donor and childhood immunisation information included in their eHealth record. Both the Health Insurance Act 1973 and the National Health Act 1953 contain certain prohibitions regarding the linking of Medicare and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme information, and the amendments will displace those prohibitions only for eHealth records system purposes.
This Bill seeks to make these amendments so that consumers can have the health information they choose included in their eHealth record to support their better coordinated and better informed ongoing healthcare.
Debate adjourned.

Gene Therapy and Cystic Fibrosis.
Gene Therapy = helping people with mutated or faulty genes to alleviate the symptoms of their disease.
People who have cystic fibrosis (CF) have a faulty gene in their cells. This gene codes for a carrier protein in the cell membrane called CFTR.
This protein helps Chlorine ions (Cl-) leave the cell taking water with them by osmosis.
In CF patients not enough water leaves the cell and the mucus made by the cells becomes very thick. This thick mucus has a particular effect in the cells of the lung. It stops gas exchange in the alveoli and blocks all bronchi and bronchioles. This makes the sufferer cough, liable to chest infections and reduces their breathing rate.
The mucus may also block sperm tubes in male patients and fallopian tubes in females. It can also upset digestion of food in the stomach.
Most sufferers of CF die before reaching 30 years of age.
Scientists looked to treat CF patients by cloning normal CFTR genes and inserting them into the sufferer. To work the CFTR gene would need to be inserted into the chromosomes of the sufferers cells via a vector.
The vectors used so far are either viruses or liposomes in sprays inhaled into the nose or lungs.
1. Viruses
These are attenuated (killed/made harmless) viruses that do not cause disease but carry the CFTR gene.
The viruses are capable of inserting the recombinant DNA into the hosts DNA so that the vital CFTR protein can be produced in the cells.
However, the donor DNA has not proved able to insert itself and remain stable in the hosts DNA. Regular treatments are needed.
Some patients have also had severe side affects to the viruses used and the treatment.
2. Liposomes
These are microscopic fluid filled droplets made of oil and water. They contain the recombinant CFTR plasmids in the centre of the droplet. These liposomes can be coated in sugars as receptor molecules to allow them to be taken up by the lung cells. However, although many of the liposomes are taken up and some CFTR protein is found to be translated, very few of the CFTR genes seem capable of recombining with the DNA in the nucleus of the cells.
So treatment needs to be repeated regularly to ensure the CFTR protein is produced in the sufferers cells.
So in summary :-
A. The treatment needs to be repeated regularly. The patient is not cured for life.
B. Treatment is expensive and not widely available.
C. There has been little real success in trials so far.
D. There is much controversy over whether it is right to try to insert normal/correct genes into humans. Many are worried we will not just stop at diseases and move onto other characters we may want to improve!

Haha,April Fool's Day is today =)
No April fools joke, Its on the app store via itunes, you won't see it via phone or touch cause this version is only for the ipad.
But I just grabbed it to have ready for Saturday!
Really? Super cool then=)
well we cant kno if it streams over 3G as the iPad with the 3G is not out yet, but time will tell
It doesn't mention if its only wifi or if it will via 3g on those models.
But....on the wifi model and a 3g tethered phone....it'll work
It may fall under the recent ATT rule about the apps needing to switch to lower bandwidths while the network is under heavy load. If it (or an update when the 3g model comes out) does, then there is really no reason for them to block it via 3G.
But their reason can just be "We want too" So, who knows.
jailbreak that sh1t and put my3g on it
Very excited
I'll hit the thanks button when you mention something worthy.
Needs to be for iphone too
u cant just LEAVE us out cause we are not getting an ipad
'Saterday'? Wow. This place has gone downhill over time. Good thing we had that half a million member push huh?
ok heres something , if u dont have nothing nice to say, dont say nothing at all....
Same for you....quess everyone cant be perfect, or maybe its not even worth most peoples time to care about a misspelled word.
Where, Netflix for iPhone.....

What a visionary! I watched that video last night and it blew me away that he used a mouse, a monitor, cut & paste, etc., etc., YEARS ahead of my fellow calculus students sharing an exasperating monitorless terminal, and friends walking around HS with stacks of punch cards. It's like over a decade later we were all still wandering in the dark and he had already reached the light ages before.

DOJ is likely to lose e-book antitrust suit targeting Apple
news analysis The U.S. Justice Department's legal pursuit of Apple for alleged e-book price fixing stretches the boundaries of antitrust law and is likely to end in defeat.
That's what happened in 1982, when an embarrassed Justice Department admitted its antitrust lawsuit against IBM was "without merit" and abandoned the case. And in 2001, a federal appeals court nixed the Justice Department's ambitious attempt to rewrite antitrust law by carving Microsoft into two separate companies.
"It's a harder case against Apple than the publishers," says Geoffrey Manne, who teaches antitrust law … Read more

Orson Welles
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Welles, Orson)
Orson Welles (6 May 1915 – 10 October 1985) was a writer, actor and film director.
- See also pages for Citizen Kane, F for Fake, The Lady from Shanghai, The Magnificent Ambersons, and Touch of Evil
- This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen, out of character, to assure you that The War of the Worlds has no further significance than as the holiday offering it was intended to be; The Mercury Theatre's own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying "Boo!" Starting now, we couldn't soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night, so we did the next best thing. We annihilated the world before your very ears and utterly destroyed the CBS. You will be relieved, I hope, to learn that we didn't mean it, and that both institutions are still open for business. So goodbye everybody, and remember please for the next day or so the terrible lesson you learned tonight. That grinning, glowing, globular invader of your living room is an inhabitant of the pumpkin patch, and if your doorbell rings and nobody's there, that was no Martian, it's Halloween.
- The on-air apology he gave at the end of his infamous War of the Worlds broadcast, live CBS Radio Network broadcast (30 October 1938)
- In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
- As the character Harry Lime in the film The Third Man (1949)
- He [Welles] was an onlooker at the clumsy, poignant suicide of "The Man on the Ledge," which took place in New York in 1938, when a boy perched for fourteen hours on a window-sill of the Gotham Hotel before plunging into the street. "I stood in the crowd outside for a long time," Welles says pensively, "and wanted to make a film of it all. But they tell me that in the Hollywood version of the film they gave the boy a reason for what he did. That's crazy. It's the crowd that needs explaining."
- Kenneth Tynan, "Orson Welles," from Persona Grata (1953); later printed in Profiles (1990) [ISBN 0-06-096557-6], p.66
- A long-playing full shot is what always separates the men from the boys. Anybody can make movies with a pair of scissors and a two-inch lens.
- Quoted by Peter Bogdanovich, from the DVD audio commentary on The Lady from Shanghai (1947)
- I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
- I don't take art as seriously as politics.
- I suppose you are a fool to do it [express a political view as an artist], but if you happen to be more interested in the political question, than the size of your audience, then it doesn't matter.
- I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.
- in an interview with Bernie Braden in Paris (1960), viewable here.
- The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
- Quoted in an interview from Hollywood Voices, ed. Andrew Sarris (1971)
- I try to be a Christian...I don't pray really, because I don't want to bore God.
- Quoted in interview by Merv Griffin, from Frank Brady, Citizen Welles: A Biography of Orson Welles, Charles Scribner's Sons: New York, NY (1989), page 576.
- This theatre is your theatre. You are responsible for its creation and its progress.
- Even if I'd stayed [in the US to finish 'The Magnificent Ambersons'] I would've had to make compromises on the editing, but these would've been mine and not the fruit of confused and often semi-hysterical committees. If I had been there myself I would have found my own solutions and saved the pictures in a form which would have carried the stamp of my own effort.
- In conversation with Peter Bogdanovich in This is Orson Welles
- Hollywood is Hollywood. There's nothing you can say about it that isn't true, good or bad. And if you get into it, you have no right to be bitter — you're the one who sat down, and joined the game.
- Quoted in The Orson Welles Story
- The people who've done well within the [Hollywood] system are the people whose instincts, whose desires [are in natural alignement with those of the producers] — who want to make the kind of movies that producers want to produce. People who don't succeed — people who've had long, bad times; like [Jean] Renoir, for example, who I think was the best director, ever — are the people who didn't want to make the kind of pictures that producers want to make. Producers didn't want to make a Renoir picture, even if it was a success.
- Quoted in The Orson Welles Story
- It's about two percent movie-making and ninety-eight percent hustling. It's no way to spend a life.
- Quoted in the documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane. Extract viewable here.
- I think I made, essentially, a mistake, staying in movies. But it's a mistake I can't regret, because it's like saying, 'I shouldn't have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her. I would've been more successful if I hadn't been married to her…' You know?
- Quoted in Taschen Movie Icons: Orson Welles
- One should make movies innocently — the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden…Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
- Quoted in The Orson Welles Story
- As for my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect; it's the aspect.
- Mitry, Jean; King, Christopher. The Aesthetics and Psychology of the Cinema (1999). Indiana University Press. [ISBN 0-253-21377-0], p.176
- Thank you, Donald, for that well-meant but rather pedestrian introduction. Regarding yourself, I quote from the third part of Shakespeare's Henry VI, Act Two, Scene One. Richard speaks, "Were thy heart as hard as steel/ As thou hast shown it flinty by thy deeds/ I come to pierce it, or to give thee mine." To translate into your own idiom, Donald; you're a yo-yo. Now I direct my remarks to Dean Martin, who is being honored here tonight...for reasons that completely elude me. No, I'm not being fair to Dean because - this is true - in his way Dean, and I know him very well, has the soul of a poet. I'm told that in his most famous song Dean authored a lyric which is so romantic, so touching that it will be enjoyed by generations of lovers until the end of time. Let's share it together. [Opens a songsheet for Dean's "That's Amore" and reads in a monotone] "When the moon hits your eye/ Like a big pizza-pie/ That's amore" Now, that's what I call 'touching', Dean. It has all the romanticism of a Ty-D-Bol commercial. "When the world seems to shine/ Like you've had too much wine/ That's amore" What a profound thought. It could be inscribed forever on a cocktail napkin. Hey, there's more. "Tippy-tippy-tay/ Like a gay tarantella" Like a gay tarantella? Apparently, Dean has a 'side Dean' we know nothing about. "When the stars make you drool/ Just like a pasta fazool .... Scuzza me, but you see/ Back in old Napoli/ That's amore" No, Dean; that's infermo, Italian for "sickened". Now, lyrics like that - lyrics like that ought to be issued with a warning: a song like that is hazardous to your health. Ladies and gentlemen...[motions to Dean] you are looking at the end result!

- My father once told me that the art of receiving a compliment is, of all things, the sign of a civilized man. He died soon afterwards, leaving my education in this important matter sadly incomplete; I'm only glad that, on this, the occasion of the rarest compliment he ever could have dreamed of, that he isn't here to see his son so publicly at a loss. In receiving a compliment, or in trying to, the words are all worn out by now. They're polluted by ham and corn. And, when you try to scratch around for some new ones, it's just an exercise in empty cleverness. What I feel this evening, is not very clever. it's the very opposite of emptiness. The corny old phrase is the only one I know to say it: my heart is full; with a full heart, with all of it, I thank you. This is Samuel Johnson, on the subject of what he calls contrarieties: "there are goods, so opposed that we cannot seize both, and, in trying, fail to seize either. Flatter not yourself, he says, with contrarieties. Of the blessings set before you, make your choice. No man can, at the same time, fill his cup from the source, and from the mouth of the nile." For this business of contrarieties has to do with us. With you, who are paying me this compliment, and for me, who has strayed so far from this hometown of ours. Not that I am alone in this, or unique, I am never that; but there are a few of us left in this conglomerated world of us who still trudge stubbornly along this lonely rocky road; and this is in fact our contrariety. We don't move nearly as fast as our cousins on the freeway; we don't even get as much accomplished just as the family sized farm can't possibly raise as many crops or get as much profit as the agricultural factory of today. What we do come up with has no special right to call itself better it's just.. different. No if there's any excuse for us it all, it's that we're simply following the old American tradition of the maverick, and we are a vanishing breed. This honor I can only accept in the name of all the mavericks. And also, as a tribute to the generosity of all the rest of you; to the givers, to the ones with fixed addresses. A maverick may go his own way but he doesn't think that it's the only way, or ever claim that it's the best one, except maybe for himself. And don't imagine that this raggle-taggle gypsy-o is claiming to be free. It's just that some of the necessities to which I am a slave are different from yours. As a director, for instance, I pay myself out of my acting jobs. I use my own work to subsidize my work (in other words I'm crazy). But not crazy enough to pretend to be free. But it's a fact that many of the films you've seen tonight could never have been made otherwise. Or, if otherwise, well, they might have been better, but certainly they wouldn't have been mine. The truth is I don't believe that this great evening would ever have brightened my life if it wasn't for this: my own, particular, contrariety. Let us raise our cups, then, standing as some of us do on opposite ends of the river, to what really matters to us all: to our crazy, beloved profession, to the movies — to good movies, to every possible kind.

The Findus Foods "Frozen Peas" Session Out-Takes[edit]
- That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with "in" and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "In July" and I'll go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me for saying so. It's just stupid... "In July"; I'd love to know how you emphasize "In" in "In July". Impossible! Meaningless!
- You don't know what I'm up against. Because it's full of, of, of things that are only correct because they're grammatical, but they're tough on the ear, you see. This is a very wearying one. It's unpleasant to read. Unrewarding. "Because Findus freeze the cod at sea, and then add a crumb-crisp" Ooh, "crumb-crisp coating." Ahh, that's tough, "crumb-crisp coating." I think, no, because of the way it's written, you need to break it up, because it's not, it's not as conversationally written.
- "We know a little place in the American Far West, where Charlie Briggs chops up the finest prairie-fed beef and tastes..." (pauses, and continues with a note of disgust in his voice) This is a lot of shit, you know that! You want one more? One more on the beef?
- But you can't emphasize "beef", that's like his wanting me to emphasize "in" before "July"! Come on, fellows, you're losing your heads! I wouldn't direct any living actor like this in Shakespeare! The way you do this, it's impossible!
- The right reading for this is the one I'm giving.
- I spend... twenty times more for you people than any other commercial I've ever made. You are such pests! Now what is it you want? In your... depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Whatever it is you want, I can't deliver, 'cause I just don't see it.
- It isn't worth it. No money is worth this... [walks out]
Quotes about Welles[edit]
- Orson revealed his surprising capacity for collaboration. For all the mass of his own ego, he was able to apprehend other people's weakness and strength and to make creative use of them: he had a shrewn instinctive sense of when to bully or charm, when to be kind or savage…'
- John Houseman in Run-Through
- Those of us who were close to Orson had long been aware of the obsessive part his father used to play in his life. Much of what he had accomplished so precociously had been done out of a furious need to prove himself in the eys of a man who was no longer there to see it. Now that success had come, in quantities and of a kind that his father had never dreamed of, this conflict, far from being assuaged, seemed to grow more intense and consuming.
- John Houseman in Run-Through
Disputed quotes about Welles[edit]
- There, but for the grace of God, goes God.
- This is often attributed Herman J. Mankiewicz, who is supposed to have said it of Welles while he was directing Citizen Kane, but it has also been reported as a remark Winston Churchill made regarding Stafford Cripps, and in either case, this is ultimately a play on the English proverb "There, but for the grace of God, go I" which originates in a remark by John Bradford: "There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford."

A few days ago, former Oakland A Ryan Sweeney's return to Oakland was derailed by him fracturing a rib (and he has rocketed from the 15-day to the 60-day DL). Now, Bay Area native Scott Feldman is traded by the Cubs the same day he was to start for them in Oakland. A lot of people were looking forward to seeing those players...
Cubs trade pitcher Scott Feldman to Orioles in four-player deal
The Cubs sent right-hander Scott Feldman and catcher/infielder Steve Clevenger to the Orioles in exchange for right-handers Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop and international-signing money. The news was first reported by Keith Law on Tuesday afternoon.
Feldman, 30, is 7-6 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.143 WHIP in 15 starts with the Cubs this season. He had signed a one-year, $7 million contract as a free agent with the Cubs last November after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Rangers.
Clevenger, 27, went 1-for-8 with the Cubs after hitting .327/.426/.596 in 15 games for Triple-A Iowa.
Orioles general manager Dan Duquette commented on the team's new additions in a statement:
"Feldman is a proven starter with postseason experience who should help stabilize our rotation for the second half… Clevenger is a left-handed bat with good receiving ability. He could also make a contribution to this year's team."
Arrieta, 27, started five games for the Orioles this season and was 1-2 with a 7.23 ERA and 1.775 WHIP. Strop, also 27, has a 7.25 ERA and 1.701 WHIP in 29 relief appearances for the Orioles.
In addition to Arrieta and Strop, the Cubs receive the Orioles' third and fourth international signing bonus slots. The international signing period began on Tuesday.

these deals are just too ridiculous....
there's the A6-5400k w/ mobo for $60, then the FX-4100 w/ mobo for $80 AR, and then the phenom II x6 1045T w/ mobo for $80 AR too... been looking through multiple benchmarks and stuff trying to decide... any help? i'll be mostly using it as a workstation, doing a bit of gaming, and a lot of HTPC use... "Smoked" by windows phone 2012, might be my best SD yet if i could actually get the phone.
Yeah I'm not sure either.. The larger cores seem more "future proof" but idk... :-/

I have the a10k with 4 gigs of ram clocked at 1600 which is the min speed you want for these. But man is this an amazing APU i play any game in mid to high and nothing even stops this thing. i rip dvds and burn them like nothing i have 15 tabs open, spotify, and word and vlc going doesnt slow down. best part is i use it for my htpc setup to with my roku and use plex i can do full hd and no hiccups in all honesty folks this an amazing APU for the price get it!
I went to MC & mentioned the deal. They didn't know anything about it (as usual). Either have them pull it up on the computer or show them on your smart phone (I used this method) & they ended up giving me the deal. I think as long as it's active on their site, they'll honor the deal. |
Man, I'm stuck.
It's either taking this and a cheap HDMI mobo, to devise some clever plan to attach this to the back of my entertainment cabinet, or grab a Gateway SX2855 they have on closeout. The Celeron G460 is about half as powerful as the A6-5400, and certainly can't game, but when you figure the costs of the case, hd, and non-shitty power supply it gets close, and when you consider that the case it comes in looks to be about the same size of a newer Xbox slim... it really starts to get close. I figure with HDMI onboard, all it'd need would be a power plug, ethernet/wireless, HDMI, and my fave Lenovo multimedia remote, and it'd be the coolest HTPC (well, in the room). |

Technologies and tools for safer networks
Security Strategies
Is your data safe? Are your borders protected? This month we examine some expert techniques for building more secure networks.
Real admins think about security all the time, and even if you're a casual user, it pays to know what the intruders know. Services that once were safe are now wide open unless you keep current with the changing times. This month, we examine some security strategies from the experts.
We start with a study on how to protect Voice over IP (VoIP) networks from eavesdroppers and other intruders. You'll learn about some of the encryption technologies available with VoIP and get some practical tips on isolating and protecting voice communications.
Next we'll examine the state of wireless network security. We'll present some strategies for how to make the best of a WEP network, and we'll show you how to maximize the security of later protocols such as WPA and WPA2.
Our next article describes how to use one-time passwords to add two-factor authentication to a secure website. You'll learn about the OTPauth PHP library, and we'll provide a detailed example showing how to set up your own online one-time password system.
The last article in this month's cover set looks at hping, a handy tool for creating test packets to explore intrusion scenarios and check the functionality of firewalls. But that's not all. If you're still looking for more inspired reading on security, turn to our Sysadmin section for an interesting case study on how to hack NFS 3.
You'll never have the perfect network or the perfect tools – the world of network security is changing all the time – and since you can never really pin it down, maybe the best strategy is to read on …

Article seems to be missing
I'm not sure if it's intentional but the "read full article" link results in a one-page PDF that only lists what the other articles have, not the articles themselves. It's OK, I have the magazine at home, but was looking for a quick reference and was disappointed I couldn't get to the article on wireless security again (for now).

Perfect gift
I bought these for my mom (age 70). They were the perfect size for her...not too big, not too small. Very pretty.
I'm happy that she's happy. Thank you, Blue Nile!
When i saw these earrings on your website, I said to myself, "They're beautiful. She will love them." When my wife opened the exquisite package you had gift-wrapped, and undid the little Blue Nile jewelry bag, she said, These are so beautiful! I love them!" What more needs to be said, other than, Thank you, Blue Nile. Superb quality. Wonderful pricing. Beautiful packaging. And free 'n' fast shipping!
These earrings are quite exceptional!
I bought these for my mother's 53rd birthday. She absolutely loves them and they are just the right size hoops; not too small and not too large. I would recommend these if the person you are buying for does not like gaudy hoops.
Wonderful value, beautiful earrings
bought these to be "everyday earrings" - they are so beautiful I have actually worn them with things that previously would have required "good" earrings
Love the earrings
They look great for everyday wear. I am very happy with them. They are comfortable yet give a dressed look to everyday clothes around the ranch.
Great hoops for almost any occasion.
They are exactly what I wanted! Very lightweight, great shine and shape, and the size is classy and elegant with any outfit or hairstyle. I have gotten several compliments on these already!
Great earrings!
Loved the perfect size, high quality workmenshipand wearable for any occasion. They came in a really nice divided pouch to prevent scratching.
Excellent purchase!
I was pleasantly suprised with this purchase. The hoops have a good weight, shine and clasp. They are constructed very well. They are versatile with nearly all outfits needing a sterling silver pop. I am quite happy with them!
Perfect hoops
Love these hoops. Simple sliver, the round curve picks up the light. I work in a hospital and wear them every day to work. I lost one one day and had to order anothr pair I loved them so much, great value.

The first Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970 -- but the "celebration" was rather, well, funereal. That's because the solons of the age predicted a global apocalypse was imminent -- and like the solons of today, they demanded government control to avert a certain disaster . . . that never happened.
To add some perspective to today's hysterical claims of global warming, behold earlier predictions of environmental catastrophe cataloged by the Washington Policy Center:
"...civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind," biologist George Wald, Harvard University, April 19, 1970.

Perhaps it's Bennett's response to the hacking scandal, set in the offices of a Sunday tabloid? Russell Tovey returns to the National to play an ambitious showbiz journalist, and he is soon corrupted by the morally bankrupt regime of the paper's editor (Simon Russell Beale, with Black Country accent). Tovey is compelled to snoop on the private life of a national treasure from the arts (Richard Griffiths), who is suspected of being 'up to no good' with young proteges. The play builds to a highly charged encounter between hunter and hunted...

I suppose you might have got away with that in 1985 if the judge had been to the right sort of school.
No particular outrage here but his obsession did become a little tiresome. And the heroic teacher's activities were definitely illegal in the 1980s (even in Bennett's rather peculiar 1950s version of the 1980s)
Posted 20 January 2012 - 05:57 PM
I don't think Hector was depicted as heroic at all, he came across as a pretty sad and pathetic character (though a good teacher in some ways). As did Britten in The Habit of Art, for that matter. Regardless of the exact choice of words, I've never really understood that particular criticism of either play.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 10:07 PM
Details have emerged about what this play is actually about in an article by Alan Bennett in the London Review of Books.

RESTful Server bug with many_many relations
3 July 2009 at 10:21pm
On the wiki it explains that I should be able to use a restful operation in the form:
"GET /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(Relation) - get all of the records linked to this database record by the given relation".
but this operation won't execute if the relation is a many_many. It seems to work okay as a has_one or a has_many though.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using a daily build of trunk from just a few days ago.
Re: RESTful Server bug with many_many relations
6 July 2009 at 2:40pm
The reason for this bug is an error on line 521 of RestfulServer.php. The
method called getObjectRelationQuery() should return this line:return $this->getSearchQuery($relationClass[1], $params, $sort, $limit,
$query);instead of:
return $this->getSearchQuery($relationClass, $params, $sort, $limit,
$query); -

Blanchflower: Chancellor's worst mistake in a century will push UK into triple dip
by James Phillipps on Nov 09, 2012 at 12:35
5 comments so far. Why not have your say?
Nov 09, 2012 at 13:15
Interesting article. Let's hope the triple dip doesn't materialise. I very much agree that confidence has been lowered by the government's comments. Confidence from the commercial sector is needed to get us out of stagnation and back into continued positive output.
report thisNov 09, 2012 at 14:55
Isn't he doing what he criticises the government for? He has constantly talked down the UK economy just like his mate Ed Balls and the unions. Look around the world. There is no growth so Osborne is doing a great job in trying to stabilise an economy that was tanking when the coalition came to power. It is a shame that he cannot give credit where it is due but that is not his politics.

When the Coalition came into power in May 2010 the economy was growing at 1.1% of GDP with an IMF predicted end of year growth of 2.9%. The UK was at the top of the G20 for economic growth and recovery. The Coalition talked down the economy for purely political reasons and embarked upon a disaterous policy of austerity which further reduced demand. Within 18 months were at the bottom of the G20, along with Italy we are the only country to have experienced a double dip recession. Facts speak for themselves.

@Rawlplug, pathetic, how was the economy tanking? You have no grasp of the facts, just daily mail 'facts'. Have a quick google mate quarterly growth figures.
All we have is politicians using economic policy to further their ideology.

Called into Poland's UEFA EURO 2012 squad despite a low-key debut season in Germany with Hannover 96, Artur Sobiech was a regular scorer for previous clubs Ruch Chorzów and KSP Polonia Warszawa. He scored his first international goal in Poland's pre-tournament warm-up game against Latvia.
• Joined Ruch's youth department at 16 and made rapid progress, reaching the first team at 18 and making his Ekstraklasa debut on 10 August 2008 as a late substitute against Górnik Zabrze.
• Scored the first of his two 2008/09 Ekstraklasa goals on 12 September against MKS Cracovia Kraków; ended that season playing in the Polish Cup final, which Ruch lost 1-0 to KKS Lech Poznań.
• Scored ten league goals in 2009/10 to finish fourth in the Ekstraklasa hit parade (Robert Lewandowski, of Lech, was top with 18).
• Made his international debut at the end of that season, making substitute appearances in friendlies against Finland, Serbia and Spain; subsequently transferred to Polonia Warszawa for €1m – the largest fee paid by one Polish club to another.
• Struck nine goals for Polonia in 2010/11 but left after just one campaign for Hannover, where he was used predominantly as a substitute, the season's highlight being goals in successive UEFA Europa League fixtures against FC Vorskla Poltava and Club Brugge KV; his only Bundesliga strike came on 11 February 2012 against 1. FSV Mainz 05.
