Bewbs!: Polarized Glasses For Private Computering
This is a video of a pair of magic computer-viewing glasses made by removing the polarized film from an LCD computer monitor and applying it to a regular pair of spectacles. That way only you can see your monitor. Ooooooor get fired for staring at a blank screen eight hours a day. You don't understand, boss, the screen isn't actually blank -- I was watching girls booty-dancing on Youtube. "That's even worse." What if I told you I was actually writing a blog on the clock? "As long as it's not Geekologie." *nervous laughter* Haha, that little-dick? No way man -- I write celebrity gossip.
Hit the jump for a short video of the glasses in action and a link to the Instructable to make your own.

If you want to be eligible for Mayorships, make sure you
aren't checking in privately
Private check-ins will not count towards the Mayorship tally nor will they unlock a Mayorship. When you check in, make sure to select Yes to "Share with friends?" and you should be able to unlock a crown. Only users who have legit check-ins (no rapid-fire check-ins, no drive-by check-ins, and no fake check-ins) will be able to reign.
In order to be eligible, the setting "
Let me earn mayorships (I realize that mayorship is a public office)
" must be checked and you must have a profile photo. You can upload a photo to your account on the app or at
. Click "edit" next to Account Info. **Photos must be 200 KB or smaller (jpg, gif, or png format).
Remember that
Mayorships are based on the most *days* with check-ins in the past 60 days
(you could have more check-ins overall but fewer check-ins over the past 60 days). It's also possible that you're neck and neck with another user who is checking in to the venue often, in which case that's all part of the fun!
Oh, and if you're using the mobile website at m.foursquare.com, your check-ins will not count towards the Mayor tally.

Paula Deen, what a joke, she's crying alright, she lost a lot of money, saying she's sorry, over and over.
She said the N word more than once and her brother is no better. I feel nothing to her.
The American that took his business over seas, another joke, just to pay those poor workers a slave wage.
Held hostage, what a joke, I feel nothing for him either. I'm tired of hearing and reading about both of them!

My mother in law keeps saying this to us. My 8 month old has been pulling herself up and standing for over a month and she's now cruising sometimes one handed. I'm not going to stop her from doing it, if it hurt her she wouldn't do it. Sometimes babies want to be on the move quicker than others.
My 8-month-old loves to stand but my mum says his bones aren't ready. Is she right?
Some babies may well be able to bear weight on their legs, and even stand supported, by the time they are eight months old.
Your baby may soon start to pull himself up, using the furniture for support, and then cruise around your house. Shortly after this he may take his first few steps. This is not harming your baby if he wants to do it. In fact, you will find it difficult to stop him when he's got the hang of it!
It's not a good idea to hurry your baby to stand before he shows a desire to try. It takes motivation and confidence to develop these skills. If he falls too often your baby may be afraid of trying again for a while.
You may be tempted to use a baby walker to encourage you baby to get moving. However, using a baby walker can delay your baby's development. Your baby needs to gain strength and skill to get from sitting to standing, and a baby walker will not help with this.
Safety experts and health professionals strongly discourage the use of baby walkers because of the number of accidents and injuries they cause. If you feel your baby must use a walker, put him in it for short periods only.
Otherwise, be reassured that an eight month old enjoying being on his feet is a normal part of the growing process.

On May 26, 2009, President Obama announced that he would nominate Sonia Sotomayor to be an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The Judiciary Committee hearing to consider the nomination was held from July 13-16, 2009. The Judiciary Committee reported the nomination to the Senate for consideration on July 28, 2009. The Senate confirmed the nomination on August 6, 2009.
Justice Sotomayor was born on June 25, 1954, in New York City. She earned her B.A. from Princeton University in 1976, and in 1979, graduated from Yale Law School. She worked as an assistant district attorney from the New York County District Attorney's Office from 1979 to 1984. Judge Sotomayor worked in private practice from 1984 until 1992. She was nominated by President George H.W. Bush to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, a seat to which she was confirmed in 1992. In 1998, after being nominated by President Bill Clinton, Sotomayor was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

NBA TV registers record growth in 2012
The National Basketball Association's TV network appears to be paying dividends, as NBA TV has delieved the most-viewed telecast ever and four of its top five telecasts of all-time in 2012.

It's no secret the NFL kills it in the television ratings department. But the league took at least a little heat when it started placing prime-time games on its own network six years ago. After all, NFL Network's cable reach was tiny at that point, at least compared to ESPN and the three networks that aired NFL football the rest of the time.
For years, the numbers for "Thursday Night Football" couldn't skyrocket because huge numbers of fans simply couldn't gain access to the games.
But instead of responding to angry fans and critics by shying away from broadcasting key games to smaller audiences, the NFL strong-armed giant providers by adopting a larger-than-ever schedule for 2012. Essentially, TNF has become a weekly fixture now. That helped the league win two separate staring contests with Cablevision and Time Warner Cable earlier this year.

Rob Parker has survived.
That's the first takeaway from ESPN's announcement this afternoon. The controversial debater/controversy-igniter has been given a 30 day suspension by the network. I had thought Parker's job was in serious jeopardy before seeing his apology being read on SportsCenter this morning. That was a major sign ESPN's investment in Parker wasn't coming to an end.
However, perhaps the more interesting nugget from the ESPN statement is that there have been additional disciplinary measures taken against personnel at First Take and there will be "enhanced editorial oversight" for the widely criticized show:

I always thought the low point for SportsCenter during my lifetime would be the Tim Tebow birthday celebration from this past August. It was a perfect intergalactic collision of awful television. There was anchors, reporters, and analysts wishing Tebow a happy birthday like crazed stalkers, Sage Steele (ironically?) referring to Tebow's b-day as breaking news, a total abandonment of any sort of objectivity about the world around them... and of course, Herm Edwards and Marcellus Wiley wearing party hats and blowing kazoos.
I always thought that would be the moment SportsCenter jumped the shark, for lack of a better idiom. That day would always serve as the prototype for ESPN's zeal for ratings and buzz and celebrity and "what's now" trumping all sense of perspective.
Then Billy Crystal anchored the 6 PM ET SportsCenter on December 19th, 2012.
And I had to rethink my previous stance.

Shaquille O'Neal's media career hasn't quite produced the headlines and buzz we all anticipated when he joined Inside the NBA last year. However, he is keeping busy away from the television. The New York Post reports the former Big Aristotle, former Big Shaqtus, former Shaq Fu is now launching his own ilne of vodka. At least this venture has to be better than Kazaam, right?
"Shaquille O'Neal is launching his own line of vodka — sensationally titled "Luv Shaq." The former NBA star plans to launch the brand early next year, and for all those barroom athletes, it is sugar- and gluten-free. We're told Luv Shaq comes in coconut flavor, and the bottle features an image of O'Neal with giant wings."
I can't think of a better way for Shaq's vodka to fly off the shelves than a picture of himself with giant wings. But thank goodness it's sugar and gluten-free. If Shaq is going to launch a line of vodka, it better be health-conscious. It makes sense too. This is the perfect alcohol complement to Charles Barkley's work with Weight Watchers. Just imagine the cross-promotion capabilities.

It was six days ago when Rob Parker asked on ESPN2's carnival show First Take if Robert Griffin III was a "brother or a cornball brother." Outrage over Parker's incendiary racial commentary and stereotyping was immense and immediate. ESPN acted swiftly in suspending Parker the next morning.
Following his controversial statements, Parker remained combative with folks on Twitter responding with hashtags like #pleze and #urpathetic and calling people uneducated. After his suspension, Parker then went silent.
Until today.
Six days after his initial comments (which have now been seen on Youtube almost 1 million times), Parker offered this lengthy apology on his Twitter page...

SportsCenter doesn't make use of guest anchors all too often. Usually, it's the same rotation, with an occasional new face thrown into the mix after a test run on ESPNEWS. But on the 6 PM edition of SportsCenter on Wednesday, there will be a guest anchor for the show: actor and comedian Billy Crystal, in Bristol to plug his new movie Parental Guidance.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 has many important functions in the body. It works with the B vitamin folate to make our body's genetic material. It helps keep levels of the amino acid homocysteine in check, which may help decrease heart disease risk, and it is essential to the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen through the blood to the body's tissues.
But many people are deficient in this important vitamin.
Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency can have a number of possible causes. Typically it occurs in people whose digestive systems do not adequately absorb the vitamin from the foods they eat. This can be caused by:
- Pernicious anemia, a condition in which there is a lack of a protein called intrinsic factor. The protein, which is made in the stomach, is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption.
- Atrophic gastritis, a thinning of the stomach lining that affects up to 30% of people aged 50 and older.
- Surgery in which part of the stomach and/or small intestine is removed.
- Conditions affecting the small intestine, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, bacterial growth, or a parasite.
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- Autoimmune disorders, such as Graves' disease or systemic lupus erythematosus
- Long-term use of acid-reducing drugs.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can also occur in vegetarians, because the best food sources of the vitamin are animal products. Strict vegans (people who don't eat any animal products, including meat, eggs, or milk) are at greatest risk. Vegetarians who eat eggs and milk products are also at risk, because, on average, they consume less than half the adult Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin B12.
Babies born to mothers who are vegetarians may also be deficient in vitamin B12.
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
A deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. A mild deficiency may cause only mild, if any, symptoms. But as the anemia worsens it may causes symptoms such as:
- weakness, tiredness or light-headedness
- rapid heartbeat and breathing
- pale skin
- sore tongue
- easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums
- stomach upset and weight loss
- diarrhea or constipation
If the deficiency is not corrected, it can damage the nerve cells. If this happens, vitamin B12 deficiency effects may include:
- tingling or numbness in fingers and toes
- difficulty walking
- mood changes or depression
- memory loss, disorientation, and dementia
B12 deficiency in infants, if not detected and treated, can lead to severe and permanent damage to the nervous system. New mothers who follow a vegetarian diet should have their babies' B12 levels checked by a doctor.

... and then he recommends a Clevo, even though there is tons of data and even lawsuits over inadequate engineering with their hardware...
Show us the numbers before making an argument for or against. Don't use hypothetical percentages.
Yup it seems all over the net a lot of people are having issues with the M15x.
All except members here. |
I have talked to some of the people over at http://www.notebookforums.com/forum27.html, and they are under the impression that those people here having issues reflect only a small percentage , and possibly with issues they caused themselves, and that there are no real issues with the m15x (not already fixed by Alienware).
I am thinking about getting a m15x, but would like an accurate percent of those having issues, and what those issues entail. System Config with x9000 and 8800M GTX are apparently the ones with issues. These are the ones I am most interested in. Please vote at poll above.ty "milcs is by far blowing the problems out of proportion. My m15x has no downclocking, overheating, cracking, hinges breaking, nor case melting issues. I've had it for 4 months, I've taken it to class every day for 2 and a half months, I've taken it on the airplane from Los Angeles to Hawaii, then Hawaii to San Francisco, then San Francisco to London, then London to Cambridge, Cambridge to London, London to Washington DC, DC to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Chicago, and finally Chicago back to Hawaii. In between these plane trips, I've driven it all over London, Vegas, Southern California and Philadephia. I doubt there's anyone who's travelled as much with their m15x as I have, and it's in perfect condition still. And yes, I game maybe 40 hrs a week, which keeps the overall system temp at about 57C for long periods of time. Oh, and I watch 5 hrs of movies / tv shows on it, full screened, on the long plane trips without using a power adapter..." http://www.notebookforums.com/thread218956.html |
You did not ask for specific build originally. You are also relying on people who have had issues prior to any correction in assembly made as a result. There are a number of filters that you are not using in your poll. The verbage around it shows confusion about what you are looking for.
As a result your original post screams agenda. Changing parameters is a sign of not knowing what you are doing. Like I said you create a poll without commentary and let those who want to take it do so without biased directions. By you changing them twice already your poll is moot. |
All I know is that my M15x was a complete lemon. And 2 of my co workers also returned their systems. Only one has managed to hang on. Mostly because he is an AW fanboy and won't give into pride.
So out of the 3 people I personally know, 3 of them have had issues. That is better then any POLL anyone could put together. |
"Originally Posted by Eagle_Orion
If I recall correctly, some people had trouble with heating issues on their Sager laptops (among other bad things.) Is this a problem with workmanship on Sager's part? Or is it an inherit issue with certain Clevo designs? Sager is the largest distributor of Clevo notebooks in North America - Clevo designs and manufactures the notebooks so if they are overheating it is their fault. I would bet that the overheating comments you read referred to the Pentium 4-based machines. The fact is that all manufacturers, including Dell, HP, and so on, had heating problems with the Pentium 4 processor. It was a horrid notebook processor because it was never designed to be used in them."

They should have alot of fun!!!
Did anyone see this the other day. My mom TiVo'd the show for me for this one part. Oprah is granting wishes for people and this teacher wrote in about her students. She was explaining the area where the school is located and how the kids have it rough. They have to worry about things that adults should have to worry about.
She wanted one day of happiness for her kids. She thought that taking them to DisneyLand would do that. Wash their worries away for 1 day. The first time she went to DL was as an adult, but the feelings that came over her that day - she knew it would be twice as much for a kid.
So Oprah sent the crew - Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, Chip, Dale and Snow White to the school to announce that the first graders were going to DisneyLand. You could see tears welling and screams of joy.
So, thank you Oprah, for making this teacher and all these kids dreams come true!
Oh yeah, and good luck, Disney with 100 first graders......whoo

Out of Stock
Item # GIO0449
2011 This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Jackets in stock than that.
Giordana Laser Jacket $0.00
Keep a narrow profile and stay warm
Leave it to the Italians to have it all figured out when it comes to cycling clothing. Giordana understands that with the right fabric applications and careful tailoring, winter cycling jackets needn't be heavy, baggy pieces. But the Laser Jacket is special in this regard -- it's a heavy-duty garment that hardly looks the part, due to its slimming profile and race-oriented design.
The Laser Jacket differs from Giordana's Fusion Jacket largely in its slimming, anatomic fit. Maximizing warmth while retaining a slender cut can be attributed to the Laser's smooth and aerodynamic HD44TM fabric construction -- a three-layer material designed to maximize moisture-transfer, keeping you warm and dry. Against the skin, the jacket has a soft and breathable microfiber that traps body heat and acts as a lightweight insulating layer. As an added protective measure against the elements, an elastic WindTex membrane lives beneath the jacket's face fabric. This membrane both blocks the wind and repels light moisture accumulations, protecting you from any potential inclement weather on the road.
The Giordana Laser Jacket is equipped with a full-length locking zipper for simple one-handed operation. Three rear pockets, and an
additional zippered security pocket, provide plenty of room for storing
your essentials. Reflective piping along the back pockets keep you safe in low light conditions
Choose from six sizes, Small through XXX-Large, and in either White/black or Black/white colors.

The '87-and-up Foxes are described as having an aero nose for good reason. Sure, the nomenclature comes courtesy of the rounded headlights, but as the newer body styles emerged, racers often returned to the lighter, sleeker Fox.

According to W3C results, the only rival to come close to IE9 is Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 Beta, with a perfect score for compliance in four categories. Next in line are Firefox 4 Beta 6 and Opera 10.60 with 100% scores for three categories, while Safari 5.0.7533.16 sits at the bottom with the lowest HTML5 compliance level of all browsers which is ironic considering Apple has been championing the new standard as a possible replacement for Adobe Flash.
Feature | IE Platform Preview 6 | Chrome 7.0.517.41 beta | Firefox 4 Beta 6 | Opera 11.00 alpha (build 1029) | Safari 5.0.2 (6533.18.5) |

The tests do not yet cover other aspects of the HTML5 spec such as web workers, the file API or local storage. Nevertheless it goes to show how much Microsofts attitude towards web standards has changed in recent months and that the company is ready to challenge IEs reputation as the thorn in the side of web developers.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
maybe i will adopt ie if all thing run smooth
wow ... as a web developer I was surprised when IE8 handled CSS almost as good as FF, but I never imagined IE9 would go this far in terms of web standards compliance.
I've been a big fan of chrome since it came out but I still find the need to open up IE every now and again with certain sites. This is good news for M$.
AMD is coming back w/ they new CPUs, WinMo is coming back with WP7, IE is coming back with 9... everything is upside down again.
I still don't think i will be switching from mozilla and chrome. I don't see IE9 being much use on a desktop. They still have to get user generated addons and such.
I do, however, see IE9 being really good on ipad and other mobile devices. Mainly stuff that doesn't support flash or java for whatever reason.
This shows that all the browsers are taking HTML5 into serious consideration as an emerging technology. This means that when the transition is in full force, most internet users will be able to jump on the bandwagon, no matter which browser they are using.
And also, I think geeks everywhere have dreams about the day when Adobe Flash Player crashes and vulnerabilities will be a thing of the past.
Bring on the future!!
I'm still hopeful for IE9! The current beta LOOKS good... just lacking in functionality majorly.
well, if it's as fast as chrome (or opera) i'll take it!
I have to admit, this does look promising! SO far (i'm using the beta) IE9 seems rather promising.
Although it doesn't have user generated content like FF does it is actually suprisingly quick!
It would be nice to install Windows and NOT have a rubish browser to deal with.
Plus when all my clients update to IE9 far less crashing and a faster experience I will have no work left to do!

this is also me. But i do wan't to use IE more it just feels sluggish.
I have always used IE, so I will be continueing to use IE9 when it comes out. I hate to switch browsers to look at certain websites. IE shows them all, and that is why I like it.
Doesn't look like a fair test to me. It says Chrome and Firefox are in beta and it looks like IE9 is a stable release. So how can you test each one when only one of them is a stable version and the others are in text phase?
That is actually the current "stable" version of Chrome. The current "preview" channel is actually well into version 8, and even those almost never have usability issues.
As for Firefox, I don't know, as I haven't even seen version 4, but I would think a 6th beta that they've been sitting on for a bit ought to have the kinks worked out by now.
They're probably just testing what's common for people who update browsers to use. Nobody said it had to be fair. If they test everything, you just get a big mess of a chart that still won't be relevant once these things actually are in the real world.
Since chrome doesnt have a default zoom feature or a print preview funtion, I hope some day IE isnt so %&$" slow in comparison.
For anyone who hasn't tested the IE9 Beta yet you can go to http://www.beautyoftheweb.com and download the Beta and test it out on HTML5 pages you find. Or for those of you who are developers you can go to http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/ and download the Platform Preview 6 and test your designs performance there.
IE Outreach Team
Using ie9 beta and am pretty satisfied. Chrome is my backup. Not a mozilla fan. Regardless what browser i use really doesn't matter much to me. As ie is readily available, i'll use that. If it aint broke dont fix it. In terms of speed and features, i really couldn't ask for much more from any browser. I like chrome since it asks for very little system resources.
That's pretty impressive, I must admit. But...
These tests mean almost nothing, performance-wise. Which is exactly where IE is lacking. HTML5 compliance? Meh, that's just a matter of adapting to an still-in-development web standard.
But high performance and functionality? That's not that easy, now is it Microsoft?
I was waiting for it
@lawfur: you're right, these tests don't describe performance. But if you'd maybe read some performance reviews or try it out yourself before you spew unrelated garbage, you'd see IE9 is not "lacking" performance. In fact, quite the contrary.
@hassan: Platform Preview means the same as "stable release"? I musta missed that memo.
IE surprises. Have been a chrome user myself for a while now but used IE before that. Will see what the future has to hold for these web browsers.
I can't say I am hugely surprised as all of the IE 9 previews were showing how good the browser was with HTML5 etc. I have been using the beta build of this, and I must say I am very impressed. I was using Chrome and Firefox before IE 9 as the previous version of IE were horrible. Microsoft really have done it again, just like they did with Windows 7!
When something bad happens to IE all the IE haters/FF+Chrome lovers come out to say something, and when something "good" happens to IE, the IE lovers/hopeful come out of the woodworks. Just an interesting observation.
ive always used IE and hope it gets better
I'm sticking to Firefox, in the final version it will be much better
Impressive. The options for browsers are really opening up.
I do not like the IE8 layout and I do not like what I have seen of the IE9 layout.
Everything I do works well on Firefox and Chrome, so I still have no reason to switch back to IE.
Wow i do say .... i am trying out the IE9 beta and its a lot better than 8....its almost amazing although it has a few bugs I have run into, and sometimes security questions can get annoying....but as a main browser I use chrome...however i think they need to add more stuff to chrome...make it better to complete a browser...
Good job MS! IE9 is here for the taking.

i tested IE9 and it actually isn't that bad, it's slightly faster than the current non beta firefox and slower than the non beta chrome. i still like chrome because it is faster, but depending on the new features added to firefox and IE, i might switch to either.
... b-but I don't want to code for IE9. QQ
glad to see IE is coming back considering i haven't opened it in years except for the rarest occasions when they make me. i still think i will use chrome though. its just so user friendly and has a place in my heart now. its hard to switch and change everything.
I would love to see what ie can do to climb back up to the top, though I'd really like to see chrome overthrow that again, just for the fun of it. Competition is always good, not just in the GPU world lol
The tests were incomplete and incorrect:
The releases are just betas any way so when the actual versions are out these statistics are going to change anyway.Besides the kind of plugins i have in friefox makes me give a blind eye to these statistics anyway.People with firefox seem to have developed loyalty towards it.
Regardless of any or all Compliance Levels, I've been spending more and more time on IE9B1, relegating my earlier secondary (i.e. Opera) to almost irrelevance. It's is a very fast, stable browser compared to earlier incarnations, and it has never crashed on me unlike FF4B6 which does this randomly. Only issue which I have with IE9B1 that they have placed tabs on the same level with address bar, limiting how much tabs one can actually open (especially on cramped notebook screen). I hope someone from MS will look into this and come up with something better.
It seems that microsoft has finally focused on making IE better after all.

Uh oh. Did I press someone's button?
IE is lacking performance-wise, and functionality-wise. That's a fact. However, in perceivable performance, IE is not that different from Chrome or Firefox (perceivable performance is inaccurate since it will greatly vary on different systems; just like in certain systems Firefox is faster than Chrome, and vice-versa). That's why we measure in benchmark performance. In benchmark performance (test Sunspider, V8, Kraken, etc.), IE9 is still far behind the competition.
So next time, do the tests, read a little, and more importantly, read the numbers.
PS. It seems these HTML5 tests were false after all:
www.html5test.com also shows how poorly IE9 does. Go there in IE9 and then go there in the other browsers.
i applaud the work they're putting into IE9 but for me FF is something i can't live without at the moment because of it's many useful extensions.
CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!!! After 6 months i'm still deciding between Chrome or FF, and now you're actually making a useful IE...STOP IT! You're supposed to be the worse browser...that's the order of things, lol.
CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!!! After 6 months i'm still deciding between Chrome or FF, and now you're actually making a useful IE...STOP IT! You're supposed to be the worse browser...that's the order of things, lol.
The tests it passed were hand picked. IE9 is still the pile of suck we are used to, compare IE9 on a real html5 test with other browsers and you will see.
Microsoft is on their way to win the browser wars (again) by conforming with standards.
Used to be an IE user then switched to Firefox and now Chrome. Im just hopping on the bandwagon on whichever's the best. If it's IE in a couple of months/years, then why not.

In my early adulthood, Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" had attained cult status, and derivative fantasy epics, designed by other authors dreaming of similar success, clogged bookstore shelves. Mostly forgettable, they've mostly been forgotten.
I suspect that Tolkien's works have endured, along with C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia," not only because they were brilliantly written but because their implicit religious themes resonate with readers in a way their often shallow imitations didn't.
So, too, I believe, with the remarkable ongoing success of the musical "Les Miserables," due to appear soon in film. It's profoundly and overtly religious.
"But remember this, my brother," says the Bishop of Digne to the former convict Jean Valjean, whom he has just rescued from return to prison and, in an act of unmerited grace, is now making rich.
See in this some higher plan.
You must use this precious silver
to become an honest man.
By the witness of the martyrs, by the Passion and the Blood,
God has raised you out of darkness.
I have bought your soul for God!
"My soul belongs to God, I know," says the transformed Valjean when, 10 years later, wealthy and respectable, he faces — and triumphantly meets — a horrifying moral crisis. "I made that bargain long ago." And he embarks on a lifelong journey of self-denying care for a young orphan while pursued by the implacable Javert — who embodies the law as it would exist in a world lacking atonement, forgiveness and grace. At the end of the play, Valjean will be described, not unjustly, as "a saint."
Meanwhile, the most expressly atheistic words in the musical are sung by the brutish and amoral innkeeper Thenardier as he callously loots the bodies of the dead after an abortive Paris uprising: "God in His Heaven, He don't interfere, 'cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet. I raise my eyes to see the heavens, and only the moon looks down."
The contrast could scarcely be plainer.
We aren't shown Thenardier's final end, but it will certainly be ugly and cruel. Jean Valjean, on the other hand, crowns his life with the holiest of deaths:
"God on high," he sings, "hear my prayer. Take me now to thy care. Where you are, let me be. Take me now. Take me there. Bring me home." In response, Fantine, the long-dead mother of the orphan girl to whose care he's dedicated his life, appears. "Come with me," she says, "where chains will never bind you. All your grief, at last, at last, behind you. Lord in Heaven, look down on him in mercy."
Fantine is then joined by the spirit of yet another tragic character who has plainly entered into God's grace after a premature death. "Take my hand," they sing together. "I'll lead you to salvation. Take my love, for love is everlasting. And remember the truth that once was spoken: To love another person is to see the face of God."
Valjean dies, and immediately the final chorus swells, as all the characters in the story — including others who had died defeated and crushed — re-emerge upon the stage: "For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord, they will walk behind the ploughshare, they will put away the sword. The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!"
"To be loved," said the Roman poet Ovid, in rather a different context, "be lovable."

The Best $25 You'll Spend
Following behind previous Pens championship videos, "One From The Heart," and "Against the Odds," is no easy task.
We have watched those two videos at least 350,000 times. And like any great movie or documentary, each time we watch it we see something different.
So, when we sat down to watch the Penguins Championship DVD last night at the Waterfront the bar wasn't high, it was nearly unreachable.
But we have to say, the DVD surpassed a lot of our expectations, and while it will never be as good as the first two, it no question can hold its own.
The NHL gets a lot of flak from everyone, but all we can do is step back and really appreciate the access and overall fantastic look that this DVD gives us.
After the jump, just some random thoughts about the DVD, without giving too much away.
First off, kudos to the Penguins, Our boys Mikey and Bob from [96.1 Kiss FM], and Dan Klores Communications for hosting the cool event.
It is the first time we have ever had media passes and it was very different to take it all in.
We really don't do interviews or whatev, but we got to speak to some pretty interesting people, including Fan House's Adam Gretz and MVN's Matt Rudzki.
We were going to ask Letang and TK to play on our EASHL hockey teams, but didn't have the guts.
Our favorite part of the night was talking to the guy that guards the Stanley cup and Conn Smythe trophy.
There is an aura that surrounds those trophies is surreal.
Some random thoughts on the video:
- First, the preview floating around is the opening:
- The video is pretty standard in the format. Talks about last year, goes through this year, standard stuff.
- Great behind the scenes stuff, great on ice audio. Kind of feel like you are seeing plays from angles you have never seen.
- Hal Gill looks like a bond villain during the interview
- Mark Eaton's goal in game six: special.
- The narrator is a little robotic, but he does shockingly have a Earl Mann(Narrator of the previous championships DVDs) moment to start the Washington series.
- There is audio of the Washington announcer after A.O gets a hat trick in Game 2, he flips out. "HE'S THE MAD HATTTERRR." Really strange.
- There is a scene after Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals where the Red Wings enter the the dressing room after winning. To call it the world's biggest circle-jerk is an understatement.
- Bill Guerin steals the DVD. He will be a lot of people's favorite player after the video comes out. He has some unreal lines.
- Buries it.
We don't want to give it all away.
The DVD will grow into an all-time favorite, easily.
And that is all you can ask for.
Go Pens
P.S. The DVD is available pretty much everywhere, so just look it up.

There isn't a flash on the Lytro camera, but the Lytro camera can handle less-than-optimal lighting conditions in many cases.
NOTE: Using Manual Controls will generally improve low-light performance, especially if you can steady the camera to compensate, either with our Tripod Mount or by using something in the environment like a wall, a counter surface, or an (empty!) pint glass.
Here are a few pictures from our Gallery, taken on the Lytro camera with no flash of any kind, that might have triggered auto-flash on a regular camera:
- shaded woods
- in a bar
- darkened room
Please bear in mind the Lytro camera cannot add light to a scene that doesn't already exist. Therefore, at lower levels of light, some graininess will occur. Less light = more graininess.
In other words, the Lytro is a long, long way from anything like night-vision goggles.

There were plenty of capable and talented ladies involved with jazz from the beginnings of jazz history, but social expectations for the household matriarch did not include frequenting dance halls at night and touring around the country for weeks in a bus full of men. For some brave women, the attraction to this exciting new music was stronger than social barriers.
Challenging Tradition: Why Classical Musicians Should Learn Folk Music
Towards a More Visceral Living
I often feel that without a detailed study of our music we become lost but, even worse, with only a detailed study of our music we become boring. Embracing a more complicated visceral living through firsthand experiences and outside fields can lead us to unexpected ends. I hope we use our music to examine these living ideas, adding to our cultural knowledge along the way.

Sounds Heard: Janice Misurell-Mitchell—Vanishing Points
The music of Chicago-based Janice Misurell-Mitchell seamlessly weaves elements from high modernism with jazz, Latin, blues, and even funk into an amalgam that is completely its own thing. Vanishing Points, the second retrospective disc of her music, collects six of her chamber music compositions spanning four decades.

Three Strikes Against Success
In 1988, I arrived in the US ready to start a career as a jazz musician. So my boyfriend (now husband for over 20 years) Peter Kienle and I formed a fusion group with a bassist and drummer from the University of Alabama where I was completing a master's degree. But one day during rehearsals, I noticed that the bassist didn't address his questions about my charts to me, but rather to Peter.
Marc Neikrug: An Outlet for Emotional Experience
Part of why Marc Neikrug's compositions have attracted the attention of so many high-profile soloists is that for many years he was a member of that exclusive club himself—a concert pianist who performed standard repertoire with Pinchas Zukerman in most of the world's major concert halls. Yet for that reason his music hasn't always been immediately embraced by the new music community. But he's perfectly O.K. with that.

N.J. Assembly Democrats unveil jobs bills
Assembly leaders said Tuesday it is time to shift from focusing on storm recovery to work more on promoting job growth.
The Democrats announced a package of jobs bills, several of which were previously passed by the Legislature and vetoed by Governor Christie.
Some of the ideas were included in Back to Work NJ, a collection of bills passed by the Legislature in 2011, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, D-Essex, said. Christie vetoed most of that legislation, saying it was too expensive and objecting to the idea of appropriating money outside of the state's annual budget.
The legislation that the governor rejected has been revised to cost less, the speaker said.
The collection of bills was announced a day after the Assembly gave final approval to a minimum wage increase, which is now on Christie's desk. Democrats consider the increase part of their plan to help the state's workers, but Republicans have argued that the bill would actually kill jobs by increasing costs for business owners.
Oliver said she thinks the legislation has a good chance of becoming law this time because, in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy, "we have evolved into a bipartisan environment."
The bills include one that would offer tax breaks to "angel investors" in technology start-ups – an idea that was among those vetoed in 2011 but that the Senate approved again this summer. Other legislation would offer tax credits for certain biotechnology investment, encourage partnerships between business and higher education, and try to help veterans find jobs.
Another bill that was previously vetoed would create a "Back to Work NJ Program," paying unemployed workers a stipend to attend on-the-job training. The new version of the bill is half as expensive as the version that was vetoed; it gives workers a transit pass and $50 a week, instead of the previous $100 stipend, bringing its total estimated cost to $1.5 million.
The state's unemployment rate, which has hovered just under 10 percent for months, will only worsen in the aftermath of the storm, Oliver said. Legislation aimed at creating jobs was needed before Sandy, and it is even more important now that the bills are approved quickly, Assembly leaders said.
"There is not a bill in this package that should not receive bipartisan support," said Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald, D-Camden.

Jackson Health System explores outsourcing ER docs, billing and collections
Miami Herald, August 22, 2012
The Jackson Health System announced Monday it's seeking proposals to outsource physician services in all its emergency rooms as well as looking for a company to handle its billing and collections. "We have not made the decision to outsource either of these service lines," said Chief Executive Carlos Migoya in an email to county political leaders. "We are simply taking the common sense step of exploring and understanding all the available options in two important areas." Migoya noted that outsourcing physician services is common at many hospitals, including Jackson North as well as the Broward public hospitals in both the north and south districts.

Did you know?
The famous physicist Stephen Hawking has a diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This disease is a motor neuron disorder that progressively wastes muscles. It has left his limbs almost completely useless over time to the point that he is completely dependent on others for everything. He learned of his disease as a young man in college and was discouraged by the thought of going on at all. With encouragement from others, however, he continued to pursue his goals, putting the foreboding future to the back of his mind, not knowing if he could complete a Ph.D. or whether he would even live more than a few more years. Presently, because he is no longer able to speak, he uses a small computer attached to his wheel chair to artificially speak for him. With the use of this computer he is able to pick out the phrases and words that he wants to say, and the voice synthesizer then reads it back. In this manner, he is able to complete 15 words a minute. What is truly amazing is that he has written two books and dozens of scientific papers using this voice synthesizer! To date he has received 12 honorary degrees and is the recipient of awards, medals, and international recognition.
A wide range of conditions may limit mobility such as, partial or total paralysis due to various causes, ALS, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, amputation or severe injury (paraplegia or quadraplegia); or CNS disorders such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. Other disorders may affect energy and / or cognitive and emotional functioning such as respiratory and cardiac diseases, AIDS, asthma, cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, Epstein Barr, lupus, and fibromyalgia. Some of the symptoms of various conditions may overlap the disability categories causing low energy, mobility issues and cognitive dysfunction such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and injuries causing chronic pain. Fatigue and reduced ability to concentrate and think are also caused by medications required for these kinds of disorders.
Teaching students with mobility issues
- Wheelchairs are difficult to maneuver in the winter and even during warmer seasons, so students may become tired from wheeling themselves all over campus. Allow some flexibility in getting to class on time consistently. (Accommodations will vary depending on disability.)
- Most students who use wheel chairs will ask for assistance when they need it. Wait until they ask.
- If talking with a student in a wheelchair for more than a few minutes, sit down or kneel, if convenient.
- It is most appropriate to use the term "wheelchair user" or "individual who uses a wheelchair" when referring to a mobility impaired individual. It is not appropriate to use the term "wheelchair bound" or "handicapped" which has been interpretered as meaning"cap in hand".. or "begging"
Accommodations for physical, medical, and mobility diabilities include providing …
- An accessible location for the classroom and an accessible place for faculty to meet with the student.
- Accessible parking in close proximity to the building.
- Adjustable tables for all classes including classes taught in lab settings.
- Advance planning for field trips to ensure accessibility (the CEA can assist).
- Appropriate placement in the classroom. Avoid putting the student off to the side or in the back of the room, integrate them as much as possible.
- Customized PE class activities that allow the student to participate within their capabilities or P.E. waiver.
- Extra time for tests to accommodate slow writing.
- Allow students to stand or walk the halls to relieve chronic pain.
- Standing and walking breaks during testing.
- Flexibility in attendance requirements in case of unavoidable health-related absences.
- Lab assistance (partner assigned as Lab Hands that is not a classmate (the CEA can assist).
- Note takers, the use of tape recorders, the use of laptop computers in class.
- A separate location for test taking, scribes, access to assistive technology (the CEA can assist).
For some extraordinary individuals, such as Michael Jordan, or Babe Ruth, strength in bodily-kinesthetic intelligence appeared even before they began formal training. However, in cases of apraxia or other conditions, some people lack the ability to voluntarily control muscles, though they continue to move involuntarily.
Classroom: Role-playing, simulations, or kinesthetic approaches to learning could be used to introduce or reinforce concepts.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Students having had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) may also have a variety of Cognitive Disabilities. In addition, they will usually present with Attention Deficit Disorder immediately following the injury, but those symptoms may fade or completely stop after a period of time. ADD however, can develop permanently as a result of a head injury. Students may have difficulties with memory, vision, hearing, speaking, writing, cognitive processing, and any number of physical disabilities. Each of these issues is addressed under their respective category of disability.

Help America Vote Act
Missouri's State Plan
Section 3
SEC. 254. (a) In General.--The State plan shall contain a description of each
of the following:
(3) How the State will provide for programs for voter education, election official education and training, and poll worker training which will assist the State in meeting the requirements of title III.
Education and training are the most crucial elements of a voter education plan. An informed electorate increases the probability of conducting successful elections exponentially with each knowledgeable voter. The traditional concept of voter training/education will be expanded with the implementation of HAVA in Missouri . The breath of the program will include three components, -- Voter Education, Voter Information, and Voter Participation.
The objective of the Voter Education/Information Program is to develop confidence in the election system and the outcome of elections in Missouri . It should illustrate that election officials have the information that voters and potential voters need. It should assure understanding of electoral processes and procedures, create an awareness of the election system, and develop positive attitudes towards it.
Voter Education Program -- The Voter Education Program will be a long-term program designed to educate, inform and change attitudes of voters. It will be a crucial element for election authorities changing from one system or process to another.
Currently voter education programs in Missouri are very limited and come under the purview of local election officials. The State Plan will expand, formalize and stabilize the program to ensure uniformity in information delivered to the public. A variety of methods will be used to enhance existing materials and develop tools to meet the requirements of HAVA, including:
Pamphlets containing information about voting history, the electoral college, when elections occur in Missouri, voter registration, how to cast a ballot, including a provisional ballot, a Voters' Bill of Rights, re-enfranchisement, election offenses, contact information when rights have been violated, absentee voting, voter ID requirements, post card registration, and voting options for voters with disabilities, along with other information, will be made available in the Offices of the Secretary of State (SOS) and local election officials. The information provided to the voter will include information on how to verify the votes selected by the voter and how to correct any errors before the ballot is cast and counted. Information about the availability of such pamphlets will be posted on the SOS' website.
Posters containing the above information will be developed and displayed at each polling place in conformance with HAVA. Missouri law currently meets the HAVA requirement to post sample ballots in each polling place.
Similar pamphlets will be developed and distributed to elementary and secondary schools.
Two to three minute video segments demonstrating how to cast a ballot using each type of voting equipment in the state will be developed. The videos will be distributed to local media outlets and local public libraries prior to federal, and major elections in the state and made available to the public upon request. Audio and written PSAs and/or ads may be created and distributed to newspapers and radio stations throughout Missouri . The information provided to the voter will include information on how to verify the votes selected by the voter and how to correct any errors before the ballot is cast and counted.
Election authorities upgrading to new voting equipment will be provided with a comprehensive implementation guide that contains, but is not limited to, the following components: (a) policy and legal requirements associated with the change; (b) logistics of the physical change; (c) procedural changes required; (d) personnel requirements; (e) internal training needs; (f) external training methods, including city-wide demonstrations and coordinating demonstrations with various organizations such as the NAACP and Kiwanis Clubs; (g) publicity campaigns; and (h) test elections.
- Little change is needed in the state to comply with HAVA military and overseas voting requirements. Early applications are currently accepted from this population and pending legislation will enable the state to be in compliance with reporting guidelines, distribution of ballots for the next two federal general elections, accepting Presidential designees oaths, and providing explanations for rejecting applications. The SOS and local election officials will post this information on their websites.
Second Chance Voting – To ensure uniformity throughout the State, the Secretary of State will develop education plans for each type of voting system to comply with the second chance voting requirement for over vote notification and correction. These plans will be made available to local election authorities that choose to meet the over vote notification and correction requirement through education.
Voter Information Program – In order to give full effect to the intent of HAVA and to achieve greater participation in the election process, it is essential that we have a population that receives accurate, updated and uniform information regarding their rights and responsibilities as voters. The Voter Information Program is intended to be election specific and communicated prior to each election with the following non-exclusive information:
- Election dates and times
- Registration dates
- Who is eligible to vote absentee
- Location of polling sites
- Availability of sample ballots
- Guidelines for primary elections (such as the need to select a party ballot)
- Change of address requirements for voters
- Change of name requirements for voters
The data will appear on the SOS' and local election officials' websites, in local newspapers and, when possible, on local television stations. In addition, the SOS and local election officials' websites will be equipped with audio capability to service hearing impaired voters.
Voter Participation Program -- This component is targeted specifically toward college students and is designed to teach the value or benefit of voting and why they should participate in the process. In many instances courses in government and education do not cover the election process. Through the College Poll Worker Program , title V grants will be used so that students will have the opportunity to obtain first hand knowledge of the voting process through their experiences serving as poll workers or assistants.
To ensure the success of the program, the SOS will establish a unit within the SOS office to develop, oversee and monitor the statewide program. Colleges and universities will be asked to include information about the program in their course catalogs and on their website. The program will offer a stipend to any student, in cooperation with an institution of higher learning, who is willing to (i) apply for a grant and become a spokesperson within the school, and/or to a group of schools, and (ii) maintain records and forward reports as required.
Frequent changes in legal requirements and ever evolving practices, processes and technology make it imperative that election officials throughout the state be equipped with the tools and knowledge to conduct successful elections. As the state's chief election official, the SOS has the responsibility to insure the development of a comprehensive training package for this group of administrators. This plan will be developed using state academicians, election administrators and SOS staff in association with the certification program offered by the Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities. Elements of the training will include:
- A core curriculum containing historical information about elections, federal and state legal requirements, management development courses, technical aspects of elections, and the role of technology in the election process.
- Links to national, state and local election education organizations.
- An ongoing review, evaluation and revision provision.
The most critical component of election reform is the development of a comprehensive training and education component for poll workers, who are the front line of the election process. This program must incorporate every facet of the balloting process performed at the polling place and focus on basic customer servicing skills to be effective. If funding is made available, the SOS, in conjunction with the University of Missouri Outreach and Extension program and election administrators, will develop a comprehensive statewide training program designed to develop competent poll workers including, but not limited to the following elements:
- Basic customer servicing techniques -- a necessity for a cadre of individuals who will have direct contact with over 2.5 million citizens during a presidential election. No other government function has this level of contact with citizens in such a short time span.
- Sensitivity training -- poll workers encounter a diverse citizenry on election day. The public expects positive interactions with each voter, regardless of the poll worker's background.
- Services to voters with disabilities and special needs -- only a fraction of our poll workers have been exposed to training at any level that teaches how to service this ballooning population.
- Civil rights -- poll workers may have little or no understanding of the rights of voters and what steps must be taken to protect those rights. Often voters who encounter a problem with voting are treated as having done something wrong.
- Accounting/ballot security -- ballots are, in essence, like money, since any lost vote or ballot could potentially jeopardize an election. Ballot security and tracking of ballots are essential to the conduct of accurate and fair elections.
- Polling place procedures --a step-by-step methodology for processing voters.
- Technical training -- as we move toward implementation of multiple types of equipment at polling places, training materials must reflect information on how to set up, operate, troubleshoot and maintain the equipment, in language that is easily readable and understood.
- Training for election judges who deliver absentee ballots as part of bipartisan teams,
The training program developed will also contain evaluation materials to ascertain program and poll worker effectiveness. The program developed will utilize multiple training methods such as videos, interactive internet applications, hands on and role playing techniques. Evaluation of the training program will be accomplished also by the use of surveys and questionnaires completed by poll workers after receiving the training. Voter surveys or questionnaires will be made available whereby voters will be encouraged to provide feedback on poll worker effectiveness.
mplementation of each of the aforementioned facets of The State Plan for voter education, election official education and training and poll worker training will assist the state in meeting the requirements of title III.

► Colony-forming cells (CFU-Fs) akin to those in bone marrow (BM) exist in the heart ► Cardiac CFU-Fs share properties with BM MSCs but are not BM derived ► Lineage tracing shows that heart CFU-Fs are born in the proepicardium in development ► Cardiac, BM, and aorta-derived CFU-Fs have different lineage origins
Colony-forming units – fibroblast (CFU-Fs), analogous to those giving rise to bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are present in many organs, although the relationship between BM and organ-specific CFU-Fs in homeostasis and tissue repair is unknown. Here we describe a population of adult cardiac-resident CFU-Fs (cCFU-Fs) that occupy a perivascular, adventitial niche and show broad trans-germ layer potency in vitro and in vivo. CRE lineage tracing and embryo analysis demonstrated a proepicardial origin for cCFU-Fs. Furthermore, in BM transplantation chimeras, we found no interchange between BM and cCFU-Fs after aging, myocardial infarction, or BM stem cell mobilization. BM and cardiac and aortic CFU-Fs had distinct CRE lineage signatures, indicating that they arise from different progenitor beds during development. These diverse origins for CFU-Fs suggest an underlying basis for differentiation biases seen in different CFU-F populations, and could also influence their capacity for participating in tissue repair.
