The Northern Light and KRUA Radio sit down with Bill Nye to discuss climate change, space exploration, and the success of 'The Science Guy'.
The Northern Light | The student newspaper for UAA:
TNL upholds the code of ethics, authored by the Society of Professional Journalists. His statement isn't a breach of this code. The mistakes were verbal, but not in conduct. In every story that Cress has produced thus far, he has been credible and neutral and has followed the code of ethics. Many of his interviews are conducted within the TNL office, and are all video or audio recorded. TNL takes the code of ethics very seriously. Every employee has received a copy of this code, and we have had many staff discussions about abiding by the code, including during our weekly staff trainings. We don't take ethical breaches lightly at TNL, and multiple copies of the code are posted on our office walls to remind staff of these standards.
Cress was very honest with everyone at TNL regarding his comments, stating how truly sorry he was for his actions, not shying away from his mistake or trying to make excuses. Cress has clarified his intent to make the individual he interviewed more comfortable. He said he now realizes the harmful nature of his statement and has expressed regret in saying it.
TNL is set up to be a learning lab for students and we realize that people make mistakes. We see this incident as a lesson for staffers and the public to watch what you say, where you say it and how you say it. TNL management has taken steps to guide the staff how to conduct themselves in interviews so we learn and grow from this experience.
We feel it is important to be transparent about this issue, and we would like our readers to know that journalism ethics are very important to The Northern Light. This mistake shouldn't distract you about the true nature of our journalism, which we aim to do accurately and fairly. We have all said things that we later regret, but actions speak louder than words.

Upon investigating the noise, Heck said he saw a man climbing into the window of his apartment's living room while another man with a backpack stood outside. Heck startled the intruder by running toward him, causing the intruder to leave the window and run away.
Heck said he followed the intruder and chased both men on foot before they got away. After returning to his apartment, Heck woke up his roommates and immediately called the University Police Department, where they filed an incident report and were told to make sure their windows and doors were locked.
Heck's roommate Devon Johnson, an environment and society junior, said he was asleep at the time of the incident and was only made aware of what happened the following day.
"If it had been a little longer, they would have been in our place," Johnson said. "That's the scariest thing to think about."
Johnson said within two days of the incident, MAC resident coordinator Maria Bonifacio and UPD detective Teresa Denette called two emergency mandatory meetings for all MAC residents. The meetings, Oct. 2 and 3, discussed the incident and measures student residents should take to ensure their safety.
Denette told students that September through November are the most common months for break-ins to occur, because there are fewer daylight hours and little snow to reflect light.
So far this semester, a total of two break-ins have been reported in the Residence Halls.
During the meeting, Denette and Bonifacio proposed installing more streetlights and motion-sensing lights to increase visibility and eliminate blind spots along pathways for students in the residence halls. They also discussed possibly providing dowels to further secure the windows and having students with broken window locks place work orders.
UPD and Residence Life advise that all students living in the residence halls make sure that all of their windows and doors are properly locked and move their valuable items out of plain sight.
Denette said UPD is available to provide escorts for all students on campus that may feel unsafe walking alone or in dark areas.
To report an incident on campus, please contact UPD at 907-786-1120, or call 911 for emergencies.]]>
The members of the rules committee — Jonathon Taylor, Samantha Reischer, Amanda Boger and Parker Dahl — were appointed Sept. 19 and will serve on the newly formed committee. The USUAA Rules Committee will primarily be responsible for establishing standing rules for the assembly while ensuring that all USUAA rules are followed according to the USUAA constitution.
In addition to creating and interpreting rules, the rules committee is also responsible for making sure senators are doing their respected jobs; examining conflicts between the constitution and bylaws to ensure both documents work in harmony; working on and dealing with any charges filed against an assembly member that pertains to his or her job performance; and lastly, appointing assembly members to other committees.
USUAA has faced obstacles during its fall 2014 meetings due to ambiguities concerning how to properly interpret certain bylaws in the USUAA Constitution. USUAA hopes to avoid such hang-ups in the future with the new rules committee in place.
Senator Stephen Warta said the newly appointed committee will make USUAA's general assembly meetings more efficient than they have been this semester.
"We don't want to spend valuable time discussing issues that could probably wait until another day," Warta said. "Ideally, the rules committee will establish how to properly interpret things so we don't waste a lot of time with personal biases. Also, with the committee in place, we can start to move ahead within our discussions of the needs of students and concentrate more on finding solutions."
Senator Samuel Doepken said a rules committee is typically appointed within the second week of school.
"The establishment of a rules committee was a little delayed, but I'm glad they're up and running, so now we can have the rest of the committees actually working towards their assignments and get the ball rolling on other things."
USUAA general assembly meetings are held Fridays at 3 p.m. For more information on how to get involved with USUAA, please contact USUAA at 907-786-1203, or stop by the Student Government office located in room 201 in the Student Union.]]>
"Not only do students come, but we have families," said Felipe Godoy Diaz, senior marketing and management double major and Concert Board member. "As a cappella has caught on with mainstream audiences, more people have come out."
Thanks to talent shows like NBC's "The Sing-Off" and FOX's "Glee" a cappella music has inundated American households.
"The cool thing about a cappella is that you need a lot of talent," Diaz said. "I think people are drawn to that."
This year's line-up includes The Filharmonic, a Los Angeles-based group of five singers and a beatboxer, Fermata Nowhere, a 17-member outfit hailing from Mt. San Antonio College in San Antonio, Texas, and UAA's own Glee Club opening the show.
"I don't think there was necessarily pressure to pitch for a big name," said Daniel Jost, junior economics major and Concert Board member. "One thing we always try to do is get an artist that students are going to be excited about."
Last year, Concert Board booked a cappella superstars and third season "Sing-Off" winners, Pentatonix.
"Pentatonix had a really broad appeal … just as a popular group," Jost said, "but (The Filharmonic) is still a quality act … the name is still going to be able to reach out to people."
Alongside the bigger names, UAA's Glee Club will take the main stage as well.
"We really try to strive to collaborate with other institutions (on campus)," Diaz said. "We want to showcase our university's talent."
While the Glee Club has been involved with "A Cappella Festivella" in the past, they don't get showcased every year. Last year, they performed at an alumni function just before "A Cappella Festivella 20" and again in the lobby of the Wendy Williamson before the show.
"We've tried to incorporate them one way or another," Diaz said. "It's important to us that they're a part of the process."
"A Cappella Festivella 21" will take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 9 in the Wendy Williamson Auditorium. Tickets are $5 advance/$10 door for UAA students, $15 advance/$20 door for UAA staff, faculty, alumni and youth, and $20 advance/$25 door for the general public.

It is said that on the final day, the Son of Man will return to earth and separate the good from the evil, the wicked from the wise. Surrounded by the most well preserved medieval chapels and canals in Europe, hit men Ray (Colin Farrell, "Saving Mr. Banks") and Ken (Brendan Gleeson, "Calvary") are sent to Bruges to await their personal Judgment Day after a horrific, botched job leaves an innocent victim dead.
While the details of the ill-fated hit are cursory, an unnamed priest messes up badly enough to leave a price on his head, the result is not: bullets go astray and kills a boy. For the rest of the movie, Ray tries to reconcile his childlike nature with his line of work and the murder in question.
Despite the heavy subject matter, "In Bruges" can turn from existential to hilarious on a dime. Director Martin McDonagh expertly strikes a balance between dreary and funny. And if it weren't for the exceptional performances of the Gleeson and Farrell, McDonagh's writing wouldn't shine like it does.
Ray is a man-child who knows how to use a gun. He's in desperate need of guidance, which the fatherly Ken provides with a healthy dose of annoyance. Where Ray wants to hit the bars and drink a pint, Ken would rather row through the canals, visiting chapels and Bruges' central bell tower.
Propelled by the sheer force of McDonagh's narrative, each actor wrings the script for all its worth. Their performances are incredible and their chemistry even more so. The numerous scenes with Gleeson and Farrell strut every inch of the emotional spectrum.
"At the same time as trying to lead a good life, I have to reconcile that with the fact that, yes, I have killed people. Not many people. And most of them were not very nice people," Ken muses during a poignant conversation with Ray.
As a foil to the two hit men, Chloe (Clemence Poesy, "Mr. Morgan's Last Love") balances the insanity with a level head and an even stranger profession.
But it's Ralph Fiennes ("The Grand Budapest Hotel") as the eternally pissed off Harry, Ken and Ray's boss, who steals every scene he's in. While his presence pervades the whole movie, he only shows up in the last 45 minutes. He can go from cordial to comically furious to terrifying in a matter of seconds. Fiennes' performance really is master class.
For all of its hilarity and brutality, "In Bruges" walks a fine line between pitch darkness and impossible poignancy. Add in an abundant dose of Irish culture, like the climactic use of Luke Kelly's "Raglan Road" rendition in one of the final scenes, the movie becomes something of a touchstone. With all their talk of Judgment Day and purgatory, it's hard not to hope that Ray and Ken make it through the pearly gates.]]>
From the unbearable horror of Gasper Noe's revenge flick "Irreversible" to the subtle implication of the 1918 comedy "The Talk of the Town," sexual violence has driven numerous movies' narratives.
According to University of Utah professor Sarah Projansky, rape narratives generally come in two forms: women's vulnerability leads them to be raped, and an independent women is made vulnerable by being raped. At the same time, sexual violence against men in movies is comparatively subtle.
Sure, there are exceptions like the infamous rape scenes in "Deliverance" and "Pulp Fiction." But male rape is more often played off as a joke, like "Wedding Crashers" and an extended scene in the TV show "Desperate Housewives."
So the question remains: Why use rape as a narrative device?
In Noe's "Irreversible," the soul-rending rape of the main character, Alex, is the climax, but it isn't the focus. The whole movie takes place in reverse so the viewer sees the revenge that Alex's boyfriend reaps on her behalf, forcing the viewer to think, "Was the revenge any different from the rape?"
On the other hand, the jealous husband, Major French, in "The Talk of the Town" pays a man to rape his wife, Genevra, in order to "cure" her flirtatious nature, and the whole thing is played off as a joke.
Alex is an independent woman whose assault makes her vulnerable, while Genevra's vulnerability leads to her rape. In essence, victimized women in movies are told either that independent behavior can lead to rape or that rape is the product of independent behavior, according to Projansky.
Men have also been victims on-screen, though less often than women. Films like "Deliverance" and "Pulp Fiction" view male rape as an emasculating incident. The infamous "squeal like a pig!" scene in the former strips the victim, Bobby, of his manhood, the remnants of which his friends Lewis, Ed and Drew have to pick up for him.
In the latter, "Pulp Fiction," Marsellus Wallace is sodomized before Butch Coolidge injures the rapists, allowing Marsellus the time to "go medieval" on his attackers. The men get their revenge where women usually don't.
While there's a whole subgenre of rape revenge films like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "Lady Vengeance," women in film less often get to reap their own revenge than men do. Like in "Irreversible," "The Virgin Spring," "Straw Dogs" and "Last House on the Left," the men seek revenge.
In any case, women are more often disempowered through sexual violence on-screen than men. This promotes the idea that women are naturally victims while men are naturally perpetrators. It's blatantly untrue, and, given enough time, it leaves fingerprints all over society. If the money keeps flowing in to movies that make a mockery of sexual violence, more movies like that will pop up. It is our job to encourage movies that deal with the subject in a serious, and realistic, light
Album: "Tyranny"
Artist: Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
Release Date: September 23, 2014
Label: Cult Records
Rating: 2/5
Let me preface this review by saying that The Strokes are one of my all time favorite bands. With that, comes a deep, undying love for Julian Casablancas. That being said, his new side project, Julian Casablancas + The Voidz is just… really strange. The album is in some nowhere zone (a "Void" perhaps) in the cracks between hair metal, rock, fusion jazz and pop. Every song is different, and every 30 seconds or so the tracks morph and shift into tunes unrecognizable when compared to the start. All of this is topped with a glaze of strained and desperate vocals from Casablancas.
If every album is a journey, "Tyranny" is a bizarre one indeed. It guides you through a dark underworld, a sewer line full of graffiti, neon lights, Atari's and lots and lots of fingerless gloves (that was a Julian reference, ah, never mind). It's gritty and abstract and peculiar and fantastic. Also, a good majority of the songs drag on for a long time. The nearly 11-minute long "Human Sadness" is a sleepy trip into the center of the universe, and also features some of the best scream-singing ever. Tracks five and six, "Where No Eagles Fly" and "Father Electricity" are the strongest and most catchy songs on the record, which honestly isn't saying much, because they are the furthest thing from catchy.
As a fan, I really, really want to like this album. I will admit that the more you listen, the better it gets. If you let go of trying to look for the structure of the songs, and let them carry you on the toxic 90's musical wave, they are quite enjoyable. Tyranny is like a really deep/sad indie movie. It's terrible for parties, a little bit boring at times, and is best when you carve out a time to sit, cozy up with a blanket and just enjoy it for what it is.
Title: "Gone with the Wind"
Director: Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood
Release date: Jan. 1, 1939
Rating: 3/5
Sometimes, a work of art is so influential that it starts to look like a cliché. "Gone with the Wind" is just one American epic among a select few to have that kind of influence. Watching it today is a weird experience: It's beautifully shot, melodramatically acted and served in a bundle of clichés. This year, it celebrated its 75th anniversary and showed at Century 16 on Sept. 28 and Oct. 1.
Set against the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, "Gone with the Wind" follows Scarlett (Vivien Leigh, "A Streetcar Named Desire"), through her desperate pursuit of her cousin-in-law, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard, "The First of the Few"), to her marriage to Rhett Butler (Clark Gable, "The Misfits").
By today's standards, "Gone with the Wind" feels bloated at four hours. It's long, but not as much of a drag as one might think. Gable is here in top form — a man's man with the morals of a bygone era. While the movie's treatment of gender and race feels horribly antiquated, each actor brings flair and characteristic ham to his or her role. The wonderful Hattie McDaniel ("In This Our Life") brings humanity to her otherwise type-casted role.
The fact is that the acting just seems cheesy now. Mugging men and fawning women enunciate every consonant and play up the movie's drama, though it comes off as more natural than other flicks of its time. And while the first part has the drama of the Civil War to lean on, the second half focuses on the characters, and the characters just feel too shallow to fill the screen.
One thing that has aged well is the cinematography. Still today, especially on the big screen, "Gone" is beautiful. The colors are rich and deep, the Georgia landscape and Reconstruction Era America are characters in themselves thanks to the deft eyes of cinematographer Lee Garmes, Technicolor cinematographer Ray Rennahan Kand Ernest Haller. The climactic Atlanta depot sequence burns just as brightly as it did 75 years ago.
While it may not have changed cinema in general, it did change American cinema. The sheer scale of it is still staggering, especially considering the technology the crew worked with. It's undeniably epic and undeniably clichéd. At the same time, it basically started all those clichés. The widowed wife searches to fulfill her unrequited love in the arms of a mysterious, dashing stranger. Even though cinema's come a long way since, "Gone with the Wind," should be required viewing for any fan of the movies. Sure, it feels overstuffed at times, but it's charmingly unabashed in its ambition, and that's certainly something worth seeing.]]>
Game: "Wasteland 2"
Developer: inXile Entertainment
Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux
Release Date: Sept. 19, 2014
Rating: 4/5
+ Plenty of RPG nostalgia
+ Combat is accessible and deep
– Quests are sometimes obtuse
Back in the stone age of 1988, a developer by the name of Brian Fargo and his fledgling team at Interplay developed a post-apocalyptic role-playing game by the name of "Wasteland." While it's incredibly primitive by today's standards — the game's "plot" was a pamphlet that was included with the disk — it was still a pioneer for the RPG genre, and it inspired further games to come, like "Fallout."
Now, Brian Fargo seeks to make his return with "Wasteland 2," the first official sequel to the 1988 classic. So is it worth the over-25-year wait?
Oh, yes. Yes, it is.
It is many years after the great nuclear war that devastated the Earth. Four player-controlled, customized party members are members of an organization known as the Desert Rangers. One of their own, named Ace, has been mysteriously killed off, and it's up to the player to figure out why, and to finish what he started.
While there's a lot of "Wasteland" DNA in "Wasteland 2," it actually more closely resembles the first two "Fallout" titles, especially when it comes to combat. The combat, like "Fallout," is very tactical and easy to understand, while still being deep.
It's also unrelentingly brutal. "Wasteland 2" doesn't pull any punches when it comes to difficulty, and players who don't manage resources very carefully are going to find themselves in pretty terrible situations. But then again, it is the post-apocalypse, and the emphasis on survival makes this RPG stick out.
Unfortunately, that difficulty expands into the quest design as well, and that presents some problems. Quests are often obtuse. Objectives are difficult to understand, and players will often run out of resources before they can figure out what to do. That aspect of the game's difficulty can sometimes be really infuriating.
However, a lot of the quests also do really interesting things when it comes to character development and storytelling, so perhaps some players will let "Wasteland 2" off the hook on that.
"Wasteland 2" revels in old-school RPG design, and while some will be put off by the difficulty, players who are demanding a more difficult RPG experience will really get something great out of this title. It's a pure role-playing experience, and there's not enough of that in the gaming space nowadays. It doesn't do a lot new, but sometimes audiences need less new and more comforting nostalgia. Players who are yearning for a return to the days of Interplay need to give "Wasteland 2" a try.
"UAA does not currently have an amnesty policy for cases involving alcohol misuse," Votava said. "The new rule would provide amnesty from minor policy violations when larger issues are at hand. The policy's intent is to prevent someone misusing alcohol from not reporting something more serious."
Votava also said the policy is not limited to instances of sexual harassment or assault, but that it extends to any instance where substance use may affect someone's decision to call for help.
Residence Life Director Ryan-Jasen Anders Henne, is a member of the Alcohol Review Committee and said the policy is a step in the right direction.
"From a Residence Life perspective, we think it's a good direction because it provides people within our community in the Residence Life spaces to get the help they need for people without real fear of consequences from conduct," Henne said. "Again, there will be education and there will be conversation, but it will be different from a traditional conduct direction."
Junior Ryan Jakubek gives his thoughts about how an amnesty policy would affect campus life.
"Its too bad that people wouldn't report something because they feel like they'll get in trouble. I like the idea of an amnesty policy."
In 2012, The Dean of Students office underwent a self-study that found the Board of Regent's Policy and Student Code of Conduct had not undergone major changes since 1998. There are currently 12 categories for Student Conduct — revisions will expand that number to 17 to account for advances in technology, growth on campus, and changes in case laws and federal regulations. The changes are also designed to be more easily understood and have more exact definitions of what constitutes a violation.
The draft of the proposed changes is currently under review by Scott Lewis, consultant for the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management.]]>
However, the student vote does not mean this policy will go into effect.
Associate professor of Public Health Gabriel Garcia gave an update of the smoke-free initiative's progress.
"A poll was recently conducted among UAA faculty and staff about whether they would support having a comprehensive smoke-free policy," Garcia said. "This poll was initiated by the faculty and staff governance groups."
Garcia said he and his colleague Joy Chavez Mapaye are in the process of analyzing the poll and will release the results to the UAA community once finished.
"Data related to the poll, results of the smoke-free ballot initiative in the student elections last year and results of the student smoke/tobacco-free policy survey will be forwarded to the chancellor," Garcia said.
Chancellor Tom Case will ultimately decide whether a comprehensive smoke-free policy will be enforced at UAA.
The current smoking policy states that people cannot smoke within 20 feet of any building entrance on campus, and only one entrance per building may be designated for smoking. This has been the policy since September 2012. UAA
If Case passes this policy, students and staff will be given at least a year to make the transition.]]>

Yes, and those are good points as well
And now we put sanctions on them and threaten preemptive war.
This is just part of American foreign policy for the past 100 years, basically to go funk with every country that looks like it could potentially be powerful enough to threaten our hegemony. The US has done it for decades in the middle east, asia, central and south America. It is our M.O. Funk with everyone. Destabilize the whole world. Don't let anyone get strong enough to challenge our power. The U.S. did it to Japan as well, in the late 80's, early 90's.
I just wish we could, as Ron Paul has advocated, have a humble foreign policy and mind our own business.
To be mean is never excusable, but there is some merit in knowing that one is; the most irreparable of vices is to do evil out of stupidity. - C.B.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this artist.
Dan Levy
After enrolling in Emerson College in Boston, Dan began performing at open mics and other strange venues—where people were more focused on their beer than what the wannabe comics were saying.
As a sophomore in college, Dan was chosen to compete at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO, where he won the title of Funniest College Comedian.
Since then Dan has been seen at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival numerous times and has made TV appearances on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," "Chelsea Lately," "The Late Late Show," and "Comedy Central Presents: Dan Levy. He has also hosted four VERY short-lived shows on MTV including "Rock Band Battle," "Your Face or Mine," "The Reality Show," and "MTV Spring Break". You don't remember them? Either does he.
With this and the success of his 2008 College Humor series, "The I Have To Go In A Minute Show with Super Host Dan Levy," Dan's following has grown to sold out shows at clubs and colleges across the country. And he continues to work in the digital space as he's in development a deal with Comedy Central to produce a second series for their sister website Atom.com.
After selling the TV show "MY LDR" to MTV, which is based on a joke he performed in his stand up routine, which later because a popular web series for SONY's crackle.com, Dan began not only performing but writing too. Since last year he has developed a sitcom for FOX called "Party People", a movie for Disney called "Stoked the band" and is currently developing another TV series with SONY television. He is also the executive producer of E!'s reality series "Pretty Wild", but that is a very long story that he will have to explain to you in person.
Dan's next big screen appearance will be in the Sony Screen Gems coming-of-age comedy "Mardi Gras," in theaters this year. He was previously featured in the Happy Madison film "The House Bunny" (but then was cut out) and co-starred in "My Sexiest Year" with Frankie Muniz and Harvey Keitel.
Dan lives in Los Angeles where he is writing more television show and collecting sneakers and knives. He understands those are two very weird things to obsess about.

Terrific new technology offering from the brainiacs at Google, allowing you to search precisely one day into the future.
Q: What about insider trading?
A: Let me search tomorrow's Google news to find out!
A new Google program powered by artificial intelligence allows internet users to search web pages 24 hours before they're created, the company said today.
Google Australia said the new beta search technology which drives the gDay search feature can accurately predict future internet content – and even future events.
The gDay technology – developed in the company's Sydney engineering centre – uses machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques from a system called MATE, or Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation.
The feature then creates a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from a given point by using the company's index of historic, cached web content and a combination of recurrence plots and "fuzzy measure" analysis.

I'm a gadget junkie. I mentioned last month I didn't need a new camera.

Then my mom asked for a simple to use digital camera. I…Read More

This is my annoyance of the moment: Why are DVDs a DRM-locked proprietary platform? When I purchase one, why can't I use this on a convenient, portable device such as my iPod?
What a pain in the arse it is to rip a DVD: Frist, you need to use several products (MP4
Converter, Handbrake, Ripper); 2nd, it takes forever. 3rd, and its illegal to do so.
What brought this about recently was The Simpson's Movie — actually, more of an extended 90 minute episode. I saw it with my nephews (with me snoozing thru parts of it).
However, going through the extras, I started listening to producer/writer commentary. Unbelievably entertaining stuff, like a terrific radio show with several very funny people cracking each other up. I would have liked to put on the iPod for the train, but no such luck.
I can rip the basic movie, but not the special audio commentary. Anyone have a clue how to do that?

I've mentioned the Blu Ray/HD quandry in the past, but it seems the fight is drawing to its conclusion. In both the US and Europe, Blu-ray discs are significantly outselling HD DVDs.
But its this MacRumors chart (below) that pretty much sums up the battle:
Its hard to see how HD has a shot.
Now the question becomes how fast the prices drop on both the Blu Ray players and movies, but for now, I am sticking with an upconvert Sony for the big TV.
UPDATE: January 8, 2008 8:21pm
Why would prices go down?
As we previously discussed, I suspect many consumers have been on the sidelines awaiting the winner of the format war between Blu-Ray and HD.
As that fades away, the total number of purchases of the winner — Blu Ray — will go up significantly.
Thus, economies of scale, mass adaptation, and desires for deep market penetration will drive prices lower.
As to the monopoly issue — I doubt its an issue. 1) These are video playback toys, not an essential product or service; and B) There is still legit competition from ordinary DVD players (fer cryin out loud, you can still buy VCRs for $29).
My apologies for failing to explain the intermediate steps in my thinking . . .

You may recall when I was shopping for flat screens, Best Buy was advertising the Panasonic 50″ TH-50PZ77U at $1799, but refused to honor that price, claiming it was a money losing typo. (See Inconvenienced By Best Buy! for the details). Their price was an absurd $2,899.99 — $100 over list. This ultimately sent me…Read More

A Healthy Dose of Failure is Vital to Your Success
As an acupuncturist I tend to see people after they have already suffered for years and "tried everything." They are so desperate for some relief that they want to know everything about how to get better, right now.
History of Animal Acupuncture: Part II
In Part I of this article, I had gone back to 1969 and tried to describe the atmosphere and events of that year that engulfed many of the younger generation, some who were all the core members of the National Acupuncture Association.

The Problem With Prolonged Sitting
We need to constantly talk to our patients about spending less time sitting and about what can go wrong with poor sitting postures. The fact is we sit too long in repetitive malpositions.
Let the Patient Tell Their Story
Often when a patient presents with an injury, they want to tell their story. People by nature like to talk about themselves, particularly when they're worried about their health.
A Commonly Missed Spinal Fixation: The Upper Lumbar Spine (Part 1)
When we think of lower back pain, we tend to think in terms of the lower lumbar spine and the SI joint. These joints and their discs are obviously important. However, we tend to miss fixations that occur just above – in the upper lumbar spine. Three questions come to mind: 1) Why is the upper lumbar spine so important? 2) Why do we miss the fixations here? 3) How can we adjust them?
The Science Behind Happiness
Are you happy right now? Whether yes or no, there are a myriad of reasons why you feel that way. A whole academic discipline has developed to find out what causes or obstructs happiness, and how to amplify it.

I Didn't Know It Would Be This Hard
By Jenn Sommermann, LCMT
I have been a massage therapist since 1992 and an educator since 2000. If you have read any of my articles, you know I teach the business curriculum at Swedish Institute in NYC but have also taught in Boston and in continuing-education settings around the country.My life is all about the business of massage and teaching students how to "work smarter, not harder." That being said, this profession requires hard work, especially at the beginning when trying to build a practice. Even after a practice is established, hard work is still needed to keep clients coming back and maintain a certain level of success.
My goal is to teach undergraduate students what to expect in their professional life and help them to understand the real world. In general, I think I do a pretty good job. However, some of my graduating students have contacted me and said, "I didn't realize it would be so hard." This opens up a bagful of questions. "What do you mean by 'so hard'?" "What specifically about this profession is hard?" "What did you expect?" Those are just three of the questions I want to rattle off when I get that call. My time with students is limited to 24 hours over six weeks, but on at least four occasions, I inform them about how difficult it is working in the field, especially in today's economy.
During the lecture on career options, I talk about the physical nature of this work and the necessary self care to preserve your body. In the practice-building lecture, we discuss emotional burnout and I share the current AMTA statistics regarding the average professional life span of a massage therapist being six years. Embedded in the finance lecture, earning a living is discussed as it relates to exchanging time for money but also in terms of the economy and why people are hesitant to receive massage. The marketing lecture and its undercurrent are about hard work. By no means do I sugar-coat it. That's four times in the course of six weeks that I inform students how hard it is to become successful and maintain it. I am sure other teachers in other classes are relaying the same message.
So why are the students shocked upon graduation and entering the work force? I have given it quite a bit of thought. I have decided it's the "That doesn't apply to me" syndrome. As educators, we can teach what we think is important but only if the student feels it applies to them will they note, absorb and apply it. That must be it. What else could it be? I know they are in the room when I tell them these things and I have to think they hear it at least a couple of the times.
At this point, I feel I need to make a clarification. Hard work is good and does not equal unhappiness. Quite the opposite is true. In fact, if you love what you do, it doesn't even feel like work. I love hard work and the rewards that come with it. If things were easy, everyone would do them. I like doing things that are different, require specific talents and have rewards at the end of the rainbow. My lectures about hard work are not meant to scare students, but I have a feeling some folks look at massage therapy as an easy road or a quick fix. I have to be the voice of reality. If you have entered this field for the quick fix, get-rich-quick scheme or easy ride, you will be one of those AMTA statistics to which I alluded. Luckily for the rest of us who don't mind hard work, we'll scoop up your clients and pick up where you left off.
This might sound like a rant to you and if you have read this far, you are probably not one of the folks who are afraid of hard work. In fact, I can bet you have already achieved a certain level of success. My hope though is that students or new graduates are reading this article and realizing that massage therapy is hard work. Aren't the most rewarding things worth working for? It wouldn't be very rewarding if it was easy. So keep plugging along, planting seeds, marketing, talking to everyone and working hard because it is SO worth it. Stay focused.

i had originally planned to make a lentil and tomatoe soup yesturday till i realise i didn�t have enough lentil in the cupboard.i did have in my spare cupboard but it is so high up that i couldn�t reach it without standing on a chair which i haven�t done since my knee replacement and which my dr has forbidden me to do so a quick change of plan must here.hence bean stew. first i put one table spoon olive oil in a pan and fried one chopped onion in it
then i added two table spoon of tomatoe concentrate/mark.filled the pan to just over half full with hot water.then i added the little bit of lentils i had at hand ,kindny beans and another sort of beans(forgot the name but here is the photo.
after that i chopped up two carrots,1 medium potatoe,1/4 of a kohlrabi and a 1/4 of a small red cabbage
then for seasoning i added 4 cloves of garlic,some rosmary,tyme and sage along with some flaked cayenne pepper(we like it spicy)notice no salt.
i had it on high till it boiled then lowered it down to simmer for a few hours(if you are short of time can cook it on high for 30-40 minutes)i had mine alone
but if you want to make it more hearty you can serve it with bread,put some cheese or sour cream on top,serve with rice or on top of a baked potatoe.
now as promised some more reacent photos of the kids.try not to be too shocked at the extra weight zakariya has put on he has been on prednisison and other steriods since he nearly died in july and it has really increased his weight.here is zakariya and ayyub when they met the haribo goldbaren.i took a photo of the photo so hope it comes out o.k.
here is the latest of ayman showing of his cool dude of a happy bear.he got so excited when he found a pair of glasses small enough for happy bear(that is his bears name)and in case you were wondering yes i did knit the bears pulli about 4 years ago.when i knitted the same one for lotfi and the kids as well.
anyway thanks for taking the time to read this blog and a double thank you if you take the time to reply.hopefully i will have time to thank you individually but can�t promise as there is alot on at the moment.take care and keep smiling
just to think the amount of hard work,time for training and disapline needed to get to this standard at such a young age is totally awe inspireing.i know from experiance the setermination and deadication needed so hats off to them and their trainer/ mother.
here is the link to the recipe i used
you can see how it is suppose to look.mine looked like this i am afraid i couldn�t get them any thinner but they were very tasty.
i did it in the oven as i haven�t got a dehydrator though that is something i would really love but i am afraid is on the bottom end of my shoppinglist as there are more nessacary things to get first,lol.i would definately recomend making theese crackers though.though thought to eat with dips i actually think they are good enough to eat alone and that is how i have eaten them.also made it without the pepitas as wasn�t certain what they were and could not find anything by that name overhere.
thanks once again for taking the time to read this blog and a double thanks if you take the time to reply.have a great weekend.take care and keep smiling.
p.s.planing to try and make bagels at the weekend it will be my first time doing them.if anyone is interested i could also do a blog on it.
well have to make it quick as have visitors in a couple of hours,more below.a few people asked me when i posted a photo of my pitta bread i was asked if it was the same recipe as my flat bread i posted in an earlier blog.if you want that recipe here is the link to the blog.
i replied no but promised to post a blog when i next made them.so as yesturday was eid i made them even though they didn�t turn out as well as they usually do
this is how it usually turns out
put for some reason it didn�t turn out as good as you will see later in the blog.i think alot had to do i was in stress as it was our eid yesturday and i was expecting guest,plus as you know you want everything perfect so the kids will remember all the fest days when they are older.we had a bbq and i made some potatoe and green bean salad,a mixed green salad and chopped up loads of peppers,onions cucumber etc for them to put on the breadso to the bread recipe
i used white flour as lotfi�s sister & family only eat white breead but i did add 3 tablespoons of ground bran to make it healthier.
600 gramm flour(3tablespoonof bran optional)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cube fresh yeast
1 leval table spoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
350-400ml luke warm water
put your oven on the highest it will go.by us in germany that is 250.while it is heating up.put the flour in a bowl or on a clean work surface.make a dent/hole in the middle,add a little bit of the waterwater sugar and yeast in the dent.let the yeast activate a bit then add salt and oil and mix all together slowly adding the rest of the water till the dough is the right concistancy and texture
let it rise for half an hour with a damp table cloth over it .knead it throughly .once kneaded you can either split it into 8 for normal size or 12 for mini pizza which is what i made.roll the pieces into balls then on a floured board roll the ball into a round bread about 1/3 of a cm thick
put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper(i can usuallly do 4-5 at a time) then pinsel cold water on the top side(this should help it puff up
put in the pre heated oven and cook (takes about 10-12 mins)check it now and then.take out the oven when brown.
told you they didn�t turn out as good as usual but i thought i would post the photo anyway after all i am only human,lol.
pinsel both sides of the bread with cold water(not too much or the bread goes soggy)while still hot and cover with a clean table cloth to stop it hardening.
re other as i said yesturday was our eid and lotfi when he was in tunisia had brought me a lovely two piece table cloth set.
it actually looks better in real life.
this is how i decorated the coffee table
the kids and i made crepe paperchains decorations.the kids hung them up themselfs so excuse that they are not so symetrical
it was actually a great day as lotfi had taken the kids to the moschee to prayer.i didn�t go as since the kids hurt me the other day i can not go without the crutches and what with our stairs then the stairs at the moschee and it is always crowded with no seats that we decided it was better to stay home than risks being hurt in the crowds.so i had peace and quiet to tidy up set the tables cook etc,still stressful though as you would not believe how doing it all on crutches slows one down and hampers you.anyway a great time was had by all.today now that is a differant matter.toda y we were suppose to be going to my sil .normally when we go there i do the bulk of the stuff anyway as well,lol.anyway lotfi phoned earlier to say change of plan my sil and her kids are coming here instead so i have just quickly tidyed up(luckily it wasn�too bad after i tidyed up yesturday but still.and i have to make some bread i decided i am just going to make flat bread it is the quickest to make.not certain what to do re food though.might have bbq again.any way must go as they will all be here before i know it.hope you enjoyed seeing how i do my pitta bread and if you try it yourself let us know how it turned out i am really interested.take care and keep smiling.oh i nearly forgot thanks for taking the time to read this blog and a double thanks if you reply to it.

Quote from: "JayG"
I certainly hope that Elder Scrolls 4 isn't a XBox exclusive, lets face it, the best thing about Morrowind was all the mods that enhanced the original game, and I can't see that on a console. As a recent XBox purchaser, I can safely say that my next console will be the Playstation 3, and not just because of backward compatabilty. Most of the big XBox releases have been disappointing (Sudaki, Fable, Halo, ), and it's selection of RPGs is laughable. So much hype, complete with total fan boys, has made me wonder if I'm playing the same games they are. I'm pretty sure that Jade Empire will be amazing, but there is a lot of talk of a PC version. I love Burnout 3, and the fighting games are good fun. But the only advantage the XBox has over the P2 is it's graphics, and I'm sure that will not be the case in the next gen. For the XBox 2 to be a huge success, maybe they should start releasing more console games and less PC ports or PC style games.
Plus with a P3, I get access to a huge collection of Japanise RPGs that I've never played before, and they will be cheap.
Plus with a P3, I get access to a huge collection of Japanise RPGs that I've never played before, and they will be cheap.
I was going to respond to this in great detail, but I decided not to, as it would be taken as fanboyism perhaps.
I just dont understand how before the specs are even known, before the launch titles are even known, and before the dates are truly known, you have decided you are only getting the PS3. I find this humerous. Maybe the enxt nintendo will blow everyone away. Then what? Just makes me laugh. For all you know the PS3 could be a microwave oven and the next Nintendo could be a hologram gaming device with unlimited free games, but no, your mind is made up :roll: .
Speaking of Nintendo, anyone have any informatin on their next system?

AARP: Don't Shrink Social Security's Cost-of-Living Adjustment
Posted By Nancy A. LeaMond On October 30, 2013 @ 11:21 am In Where We Stand | Comments Disabled
[1]The annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is critically important to the financial security of the nearly 58 million Americans receiving benefits. By providing protection against inflation, the COLA helps beneficiaries of all ages maintain their standard of living, keeping many from falling into poverty [2]. The COLA announced today is vital to millions, but at an average of just $19 per month, it will quickly be consumed by the rising costs of basic needs such as food, utilities and health care.
Some in Washington, though, would make this small COLA even smaller by including the Chained CPI [3]in a budget deal. The Chained CPI would further lower the COLA for Social Security and veterans benefits with cuts that would start now and grow larger every year. Under Chained CPI, the modest 1.5 percent COLA announced today would be reduced, putting increasing strain on millions of beneficiaries struggling to keep up with expenses.
Shrinking the COLA could also negatively impact our still-fragile national economy, since every dollar of Social Security benefits generates about two dollars of economic activity. Recent research by the AARP Public Policy Institute [2] calculated that spending of Social Security benefits added about $1.4 trillion in total economic output to the U.S. economy in 2012.
We know that any adjustments Washington makes to Social Security will have a profound effect on individuals of all ages, businesses and our economy as a whole. That's why AARP [4] is fighting the Chained CPI and calling for a national conversation about the future of Social Security – so those who paid into the system can have a voice in the debate and so current and future generations get the benefits they've earned.
Additional resources on the Chained CPI, including a calculator showing how individual benefits would be impacted by the Chained CPI, are at www.earnedasay.org [5].[6]

Chat with Times columnists Rich James and Marc Chase on the competing plans for consolidating emergency dispatch services in Lake County. Both will be on a web chat at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
It promises to be a lively conversation.
"With all 17 Lake County communities linked together on the same system, there will be better communications and, in the long run, a financial savings," James said.
Chase disagrees. "E-911 is turning into good government gone bad in Lake County," he said. "The idea of consolidating could be beneficial and more cost effective for county taxpayers – but not the way it's being handled right now."

36 Falkner Street, Liverpool 8
During a restless moment in the dull dark hours around 03:00am, I was hit by a whiff of nostalgia for my old art college. I raked around in the fallen leaves of the internet and found images of The Sheltering Home for Destitute Children, which subsequently became the sculpture and graphics departments of Liverpool College of Art.
Partially sated by these images of Myrtle Street, I furthered my investigation with a search for my flat on Falkner Street. Imagine my surprise [and indeed trepidation - it was three in the morning] when the screen filled with images of my front door at No. 36. Why was this? Had something horrid happened there after I left Liverpool?
But no.
I was wont to joke with people, when they heard I was at Liverpool Art College, that I sat at the same desk as John Lennon, who famously went there. But it turns out I was nearer the truth than I thought.
When John Lennon married Cynthia Powell [also a student at the art college] in 1962, Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager and their best man, gave John and Cynthia his house 36 Falkner Street as a wedding present.
Unbeknownst to me, for two years, I walked the same hallway and trod the same stairs as, fourteen years earlier, did John Lennon.
