When Mike McFaul first purchased his home back in 2001, he looked at the 1970s-style basement and instantly thought "home theater."
Mike's idea of home theater, however isn't the formal style you find on the pages of many home theater magazines, with theater seats and hidden gear. "I saw a picture of a guy with equipment behind his couch, and used that as an inspiration," says Mike. "I loved the look of the exposed gear. All those twinkling lights, but I also wanted a family room where my newly adopted three-month-old daughter Phoebe could play."
Mike wanted the room to have a relaxed vibe—the perfect spot for sitting on the sectional, watching television, surfing the Internet on the big screen via the HTPC, viewing Netflix movies, and more.
"I wanted it to be more encompassing and connected than the traditional home theater." And the basement entertainment complex certainly expands upon this goal. It's 1,000 square feet, which gave Mike room for an office with a long bookshelf, a pool table, and a workout area.
McFaul, unlike some of the DIYers we profile on ElectronicHouse.com, was not a skilled handyman before he began the project. "This was first real handyman foray!" he says.
He hired out the electrical and canister lights, but did the drywall himself and built the screen. "It's pretty simple, you just use blackout fabric that you can buy at places like Joann's fabric, Velcro it on to some aluminum, and you have the same gain as some more expensive screens," he says. "Because the fabric is used to block out sunlight, it makes it very bright!"
While he was able to pull off this DIY feat without a hitch, it doesn't change the fact that for Mike, the build out was the most difficult challenge of the project.
When it came to picking out equipment, things got a little easier for this DIYer. Mike takes an upgrade approach to getting the best possible gear in his system. He does his research and selects components based on both his needs and wants.
"I'd gone through several receivers in the past four years, starting with a Dolby Pro Logic model, upgrading to Dolby Digital, and then I needed an HDMI model," says McFaul. "I settled on the Onkyo TX SR606, which has four HDMI outs, and I get a great HD image." That's in no small part due to the Panasonic AX200U projector shining on that DIY screen, which replaced a Mitsubishi projector McFaul had purchased from a friend.
"I wanted to mount the projector in the rack, I didn't want it suspended from the ceiling." McFaul also upgraded to a high-def TiVo, which was built around a home theater PC that McFaul built himself. His background working as a project manager for a computer company didn't hurt in that effort.
"I am forever tweaking. My wife hates it. I start a movie, but then I say 'I just need to adjust this one thing.'"
For watching older movies on DVD, like his favorite Jimmy Stewart flicks, McFaul uses a DVDO iScan HD video processor to upscale DVDs for better image quality. "I love old movies and I also love new movies, so it was important to get the best quality I could out of both."
In the future, Mike wants to get another couple of flat panels to watch multiple sporting events in addition to the 45-inch plasma that sits next to the screen. But when it comes down to it, this is a room for the family, first and foremost. In fact, Mike can't wait for his new daughter to be able to watch Wall-E on the big screen.

Associated Press
WILKINSBURG, Pa. — Police in western Pennsylvania say a man was shot and killed after a chase in Pittsburgh and a nearby borough.
Pittsburgh police said officers tried to pull a vehicle over on a traffic violation at about 3:20 a.m. Monday, but the suspect fled and the chase went into nearby Wilkinsburg.
Public safety department spokeswoman Sonya Toler said the suspect eventually jumped out of the vehicle and ran with a gun in his hand, pursued by officers.
Toler told WPXI-TV that the man was ordered to stop, but he spun around and appeared about to shoot, so officers fired, killing him. His name hasn't been released.
Police said an officer was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the chase.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Message from the Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center In name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. Upon the death of a person, Prophet Muhammad, SAW, was reported to say, "Innallilahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon" from God we come and to God is our return. Today the Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center acknowledges the death of a former imam, imam Anwar Al-Awlaki. While employed at Dar Al-Hijrah, imam Al-Awlaki was known for his interfaith outreach, civic engagement and tolerance in the Northern Virginia community. However, after Mr. Al-Awlaki's departure from the mosque in 2002 he was arrested by Yemeni authorities and allegedly tortured. It was then that Al-Awlaki began preaching violence and has now died violently in an apparent drone strike. In recent years, while in his self imposed exile, Mr. Al-Awlaki encouraged impressionable American Muslims to attack their own country. With his death, Al-Awlaki will no longer be able to spread his hate speech over the Internet to our youth. We reiterate that as an American faith community we do not accept violence nor extremism and re-commit ourselves to our message living our faith in peace, tolerance and the promotion of the public good. The Qur'an teaches us: "We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land." 5:32 We must also add that in previous statements we have rejected the use of extra-judicial assassination of any human being and especially an American citizen which includes Al-Awlaki. We reiterate our commitment to "due process under law" and justice and are concerned that the alleged drone attack sends the wrong message to law abiding people around the world. CAIR's Press Release MPAC's Press Release Civil Liberties Concerns raised in video from Democracy Now The United States has confirmed the killing of the radical Yemeni-American cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, in northern Yemen. The Obama administration says Al-Awlaki is one of the most influential al-Qaeda operatives on its 'most wanted' list. In response to news of al-Awlaki's death, constitutional scholar Glenn Greenwald and others argue the assassination of U.S. citizens without due process has now has become a reality. "One of the bizarre aspects of it is that media and government reports try to sell al-Awlaki as some grand terrorist mastermind … describing him as the new bin Laden. The United States government needs a terrorist mastermind to replace Osama bin Laden to justify this type of endless war … For a while, al-Awlaki was going to serve that function," Greenwald says. "If you are somebody that believes the President of the United States has the power to order your fellow citizens murdered, assassinated, killed without a shred of due process … then you are really declaring yourself to be as pure of an authoritarian as it gets." Related links: Anwar al-Awlaki death: US keeps role under wraps to manage Yemen fallout Assassinating Awlaki: Obama Can Kill Anyone He Wants To The due-process-free assassination of U.S. citizens is now reality Was Anwar al-Awlaki still a U.S. citizen?

100 Black Men's Backpacks For Success
There are many ways we, as members of this community we share, can help prepare our community's children to learn in school. Fortunately we are in a period of deep reflection on issues like school readiness and we are taking action. But just in terms of direct and unambiguous delivery of school preparedness resources, it's hard to top 100 Black Men of Madison's annual Backpack for Success giveaway.
For 17 years now the local affiliate and its membership of African American men have collected school supplies, loaded them in new backpacks, solicited food donations for a picnic and then invited children to come and pick up a backpack filled with stuff they need for school. This year's celebration is this Saturday from 10 to 1 at Demetral Park on the East side. Organizers say simply all Dane County elementary and middle schools students and their parents are invited. This is a terrific event that sends a terribly important message to children: this community wants you to be successful in school, and we will help you get there.

While the thick, waxy formula lasts a long time on lips and makes them very soft, I can't stand the flavor. It smells strongly of flowers and honey. Honey, no problem... but the odd floral scent? I don't want ANY scent that strong--much less a generic floral one--right underneath my nose all day. It tastes like the smell of a funeral parlor. Would it have killed them to leave this otherwise-great product unscented?
I've been using this for years. I love the menthol's cooling sensation. My lips are healed within a day. Although it doesn't moisturize them.
Although I do like some Burt's Bees products (like the cuticle butter) I can't say that I'm a huge fan of this one. The scent was nice and the packaging is pretty standard but I felt the formula was too waxy and that it sat on my lips rather than penetrated them.
More reviews by rinalovesramen
This is my favorite lip balm! I love the minty tingly feeling it leaves on my lips. I top it with the Burt's Bees Replenishing lip balm to give it a bit of a gloss.
I admit it. I am a lip balm junkie. I cannot live without one and I use it several times a day. I have tried a ridiculous amount of lip balms and this one might be the best of the lot. Unfortunatly, most people don't think about lip care until they have dry, cracked lips. Whether you are using this to soothe dry and cracked lips, or using it to keep lips soft and prevent them from getting dry- this product is a godsend! Before I started using Burts Bees, I was using Blistex Medicated. I liked the medicinal feel of the Blistex. However, I was always have to reappy it, and it really didn't make my lips feel healthy. The Burt's Bees lip balm is wonderful. It doesn't have a medicinal feel. Instead, it is soothing, provides the necessary moisture needed, without being greasy and makes my lips feel healthier. I absolutley love the tingling sensation caused by the peppermint oil (And to those who dont like peppermint- stay away).
A tip for those who have the Burts Bees lip balm in the little round tin (and really ALL chapsticks for that matter): Do not leave them in a hot car. Not only will it melt the product into a disgusting mess, the tin containers top and bottom mold together and it can be VERY hard to seperate them. I have both the balms in the tin and a regular tube, and I dont have a preferance. They both work wonderful!
One more thing I love about Burts Bees balm, is that they have come out with the tinted lip balms with color. I LOVE THESE! They do just as good of a job taking care of your lips, they just add a tad of color. This is wonderful, because if your lips are dry and chapped- putting lipstick on top just adds to the problem, and looks unflattering. So the fact that they add the color to this balm is such a good idea. I have a few different colors, and they work well for both keeping my lips healthy while adding a splash of color.
I have very dry lips and have probably tried every single lip balm on the market, and after finding Burt I have found the dry lip cure. This lip balm is (in my opinion) the best formula in the Burt's line, as it is the most moisturizing, longest wear -- and I love the tingling effect. No other lips balms come close to being as effective as this one is.

I have been using Burt's since way before it was popular, when it only came in the metal tins and you could only find it at healthfood stores! It is a classic for a reason, because it works well! Nice scent. Thankfully, comes in a stick now so I do not have to struggle with opening the tin.
Too bad this didn't last as long as Chapstick. That tingling sensation and peppermint flavor on lips will certainly stimulate you early in the morning. I'll go back to Chapstick- lasts longer and cheaper.
More reviews by BeatriceBordeaux
This is my favorite lip balm! Makes my lips super soft and it takes delicious too :) ! Yum yum yum, Burt's Bees rules!
Am I the only one that has a slow healing rash after using it? It took me a while to realize that my painful, itchy, red, scaly skin on my lips are caused by this lip balm. I never had any problem before even with those full-of-chemical products (like nivea balms), but my lips hate this product somehow.

Quebec City and Montmorency Falls Day Trip from Montreal
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Quebec City and Montmorency Falls Day Trip from Montreal. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
I highly recommend this tour for anyone spending only one day in Quebec City. The tour bus driver was pleasant, witty and accommodating of passengers. The tour guide in Quebec City was very knowledgeable and gave just enough information to absorb in one day. I didn't do the river cruise, but spent the day shopping and exploring the historical sights. It was a long full day, but never a better day spent.
This was a great day! From the pick-up at our hotel, to the return. Our driver was a very nice gentleman and the tour guide in Quebec City was great. What a wonderful city. I wish we could have stayed longer.
This tour was amazing!
When I first booked it I thought it seemed a bit expensive but it was well worth the price. It turns out to be less expensive than taking the train to Quebec City. The drive was amazing. Spectacular views and scenery. The tour also stopped at Montmorency Falls which was an awesome unexpected surprise. Once in Quebec City the tour guide was amazing and we were able to stop and see numerous things there. Finally we were given three hours of free time, where my girlfriend and I decided to do the hop on hop off tour (you must pay separately for this). We were both glad we did it because it went to parts of the city that the guided tour didn't.
It is the best tour when one has only a day to visit Quebec city.
The tour guide in Quebec was excellent and helpful. He gave a good overview and interesting tips. We were given three hours to walk around by ourselves. We were glad we didn't take the boat ride since the city was so beautiful .
This tour was amazing!
Beutifil city and great tour
Great overview of the City of Quebec and we happened to be there for the New France Festival where the residents were dressed in historical costumes! A long day but well worth it!
This was an excellent tour. Our driver educated us on the way to QC. Another guide took us on a walking tour of QC when we got there, then got on the bus with us to go to Montmorency Falls. He was obviously very proud of his city, and very knowledgeable about its history. There were three of us on this trip, and we all loved it and would all recommend it to others. Additionally, it made me want to go back to QC and spend a week or two.
Both our guide and our driver were very knowledgeable, interesting and funny, especially our driver but 3 hours are hardly enough to discover the city. People on the group were very punctual and that rendered the experience more positive.
I only regret that this one day tour took place on a rainy day but what can one do against the whims of mother nature!
Our full day's excursion from Montreal to Quebec City was truly outstanding. Norman, our driver/guide, was superb. His knowledge and personality really were impressive. The itinerary was excellent. Our local guide, Roger, was also easy to understand, knowledgeable, and passionate about Quebec City. We learned a lot about Canada's history and the special identity that Quebec has maintained. We enjoyed the boat ride and the visit of Montmorency Falls.
We really enjoyed this day trip from Montreal. Our guide was fantastic and really helped us maximize our day and provided us with a lot of history and factual information. We got to see the falls, all around Quebec City and spend a lot of time visiting the historic section. We decided not to take the cruise part of the trip, because there was just too much to see on the ground. I think you can skip the cruise. I would recommend this tour!
Quebec and Montmorency Fall was great place very friendly people. Im very impress.
It was a long day but the trip was fabulous and well worth our time. Quebec City and the falls are awesome.
I would also like to comment on the driver Richard. He was very helpful to my husband and I. We were staying on the west island and he assisted with getting us safely back to our hotel.
We really had a fantastic time in Quebec city! It took about three hours on the bus from Montreal to Quebec. The drive was pleasant. Our tour guide was great! A must see tour to everyone.

Miranda Kerr Kids Helpline Ambassador Announcement Luna Park
Miranda Kerr Announced as New Kids Helpline Ambassador
Miranda Kerr was announced as the new ambassador for the Kids Helpline at a press call at Luna Park in Sydney today. The model, in a printed dress, also posed with children in front of the iconic Luna Park face. Of her new role, Miranda said, "I want every child in Australia to know that there is someone who will listen to them, someone who can talk to them, no matter how big or small the issue. We all have challenging days, we all go through moments in our lives where we do need advice. I really want to encourage the younger generations to believe in themselves." She was especially keen to get involved as she's now a mother of one (to 2-year-old Flynn, her son with Orlando Bloom) and has lost a younger cousin to suicide.
Since landing in Australia two weeks ago, Miranda's had a busy schedule that's seen her headline the David Jones Autumn/Winter '13 fashion show, promote her skincare line Kora Organics in Melbourne, visit Kora's factories and shoot a new campaign for it. She's also made multiple TV appearances. In preparation for Valentine's Day, we asked Miranda to describe her perfect date night outfit when we spoke to her backstage at the DJs show, and she said, "Simplicity I think is the key for a date night."

Kid Crusher is an Australian Death Metal and Horrorcore musician best known for his Cannibal Clown persona. He started off playing in a Death Metal band, but due to a lack of commitment from the other members, he decided to fuse Death Metal with rapping, performing all of his own instrumentation. His first music video, "A Dirty Fuckin Murder" is also his most recognized, due to being mocked on Something Awful and later featured in an episode of Law & Order which portrayed Juggalos in an extremely biased and negative light; the misrepresentation of the culture, as well as the episode's renaming him "Axis of Death" angered Kid Crusher.Another music video, "Meet The Monstors", was covered by Horror magazine Fangoria. Insane Clown Posse featured Kid Crusher on a compilation released through their Hatchet House sub-label.Kid Crusher also stepped away from the violent and highly offensive lyrics of his Horrorcore albums in forming a Comedy Shock Rock band, KcaveMen, an Affectionate Parody of Extreme Metal, with the joke being that the entire band is made up of Adelaide Cavemen who sing solely in indiscernible Harsh Vocals.
Kid Crusher and his raps are related to the following tropes:

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a minute here because I've been thinking about this recently, and a post in another thread yesterday reminded me of it again.
Why do we get people to sign the AUP?
For staff, it's an official school policy just like all the other school policies. Following school policy is a contractual obligation. We don't get anyone to sign any other policy, including the separate safeguarding policies which are at least as important
For pupils, the AUP forms part of the school rules that they are expected to follow, just like (for example) the anti-bullying code, which neither they nor their parents sign separately.
So, what makes the AUP so special that it needs signing, when almost nothing else does?

Not sure signing an AUP could be particularly binding for kids - maybe better have their parents sign it. I wonder if we have a whitepaper on this. I'll poke the relevant folks and find out.
It is a good way to focus peoples' minds on behaviour online though.
It is a very good point.
Signing the AUP and returning it to the Bursar, at our school, shows that the staff member has received the training that accompanies it. From the student's point of view, I suppose it draws the parents' attention to our side of the bargain as well as their little darlings' (such as pupils will never use the school's computers unsupervised)
I can only think that this started because it was a 'new' policy on top of the million others that we know we have to abide by. On introduction, training was done and staff signed to acknowledge this...
... but you're right, in many ways it doesn't make sense.
I suppose if you had something in there about parents being responsible (paying) for any damage caused by their child then a signature is better than non.
I think that perhaps it is because the teachers need to be reminded that the laptop is NOT their personal possession. It is a bit of an anachronism but to my mind all staff members should sign one piece of paper covering ALL the policies that they are expected to read and follow, and children as well
Back to the OP, it's a good question and I like Witch's suggestion of having staff/pupils sign to say they've read all policies
Last edited by X-13; 26th January 2012 at 10:11 AM. Reason: I cannot brain today... I have teh dumb. Also, bad spelling.
But when you sign your contract of employment, there is a line (well there is in our contract) saying that you agree to abide by all school polices or words to that effect. Why do it twice?
That's true - I think for us the AUP came in later so the staff had to sign it as a separate issue.
As @elsiegee40 says, it's probably to do with it being a new policy. I don't know tbh, I just assumed that it would need doing and went along with it.
I don't expect anyone to read the actual AUP I've written (12,000 words or something) so the signed-sheet providing a one-page summary is a useful way of getting the gist of it in front of eyeballs. I think it's useful with the kids, certainly - a lot of them think that anything done on a computer isn't real, it's all just a game (cf. 90% of Facebook bullying) so explicitly spelling out some rules helps there.
We get the parents to sign it as well for KS3/4 although we don't check if the signature is real, as far as I'm concerned if a parent comes in, has the AUP put down in front of them and says "that's not my signature!" then the little darling is in even more trouble than before and I'm even more entertained.
Its essentially just a 'tick box' task. We have some cases of students smashing monitors and their parents saying "why should we pay for the damage when did you tell my child they couldent break stupid school monitors that are c**p anyway" -well in the AUP it states... Its amazing how many times we have refered back to that one document -for staff as well!
Do agree its odd other docs dont have this as well, maybe because teachers assume its obvious you shouldent punch a child but not so obvious you shouldent punch a monitor (with IT being comparativly new compared to social expected behaviour?).

With the National League's top playoff seed tucked away, the Washington Nationals just hope to stay sharp as they host the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Nationals clinched home field throughout the NL playoffs when the teams split a doubleheader Friday. Miami still has something to play for, as the Marlins are tied with the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves for second place in the NL East.
The Marlins hope they saved some offense for right-hander Nathan Eovaldi after scoring two runs or fewer in his last three starts and 10 of his last 13. Eovaldi might not see many of the Nationals' regulars with Washington having locked up the NL's top seed. Stephen Strasburg, who gets the start for Washington, hasn't allowed a run over his past two starts and recorded seven innings of three-hit ball to beat Miami on Sunday.
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), MASN (Washington)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Nathan Eovaldi (6-13, 4.44 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (13-11, 3.23)
Eovaldi has lost nine of his 10 decisions since the All-Star break -- and seven straight since his last win Aug. 8 -- but he is coming off a solid outing against the Nationals on Sunday. The 24-year-old held Washington to two runs over six innings but was saddled with a tough-luck loss in a 2-1 defeat. Eovaldi is 2-3 with a 5.23 ERA in six starts against Washington and has split two decisions in three meetings this year.
Strasburg is working on a 14-inning scoreless streak as he aims to stay sharp for the postseason. The 26-year-old former No. 1 pick has posted quality starts in seven of his last eight outings, going 5-1 with a 1.88 ERA over that span. Strasburg is 8-5 with a 3.66 ERA in 18 starts against the Marlins, but has split four meetings this season.
1. Marlins SS Adeiny Hechavarria is 7-for-12 over his past three games after going 1-for-20 in his previous six. He is 3-for-19 with six strikeouts versus Strasburg.
2. Strasburg has a 2.61 ERA at home in his career, compared with 3.56 on the road.
3. Miami 3B Casey McGehee, who has matched his career high of 174 hits set in 2010 with Milwaukee, is 1-for-12 against Strasburg.
PREDICTION: Nationals 4, Marlins 1

text: NY Times Author 'Assumed' Weiner Had Stopped Sexting by John Sexton Jul 29, 2013 3:28 PM PT Share This: Print The author of the NY Times profile that cleared the way for Anthony Weiner to enter the mayoral race in NYC never thought to ask Weiner if that part of his life was behind him. An editor claims this was because Weiner wasn't seen as a candidate at the time, despite an earlier piece in the Times noting he might want to run for mayor. Erik Wemple points out the obvious flaw in an article that was considered a strong example of long-form journalism until it's central premise--that there was a new Anthony Weiner--turned out to be false. Reading through the story, it's clear that Van Meter's piece was premised on the notion that Weiner's self-destructive online activities had long, long since ceased. Had he pushed the politico on just when he gave up his lewd relationships with other women on the Internet, Van Meter's recorder would have scored some precious words from Weiner. Or perhaps even a prolonged period of silence. When asked about that point, Van Meter replied via Facebook message: "Never even occurred to me to ask! I just assumed it had stopped when he got caught, lost his job and started therapy to save his marriage." Hugo Lindgren, the editor of the NY Times magazine, takes blame for failing to insure the question was asked. He tells Wemple "We weren't looking at him as a political figure at the time." This is almost certainly nonsense if Van Meter or Lindgren read their own paper. Back in July of 2012, about the time Weiner was starting his relationship with Sydney Leathers, the NY Times ran a piece headlined "Anthony Weiner longs for a second chance in politics, friends say." An article in The New York Post, taking note of expenditures reported in a recent campaign filing and his deadline for receiving matching funds, suggested that Mr. Weiner was considering running for public advocate or even mayor next year. [...] If nothing else, the buzz showed that Mr. Weiner was still capable of generating chatter in a mayoral field that seems to be solidifying despite its lack of star power. With his war chest, Mr. Weiner would have an edge over several of the likely Democratic candidates. William C. Thompson Jr., for instance, a former comptroller and a declared mayoral candidate, has raised only $1.5 million for the race so far, according to a statement by his campaign on Sunday. It's a bit of a stretch to claim that they did this entire interview and had no idea Weiner might see it as part of his political comeback. No one is that naive. Update: According to the NY Times, Weiner's rivals in the race recognized his profile as a statement that he was thinking about getting in: As his would-be rivals debated the seriousness of his deliberations (which remains unknown) and the odds he could prevail (which they doubted), they seemed to be uneasily calculating the impact of his potential candidacy on their own place in a large and unsettled field. Each seemed to have absorbed Mr. Weiner's declaration, in a New York Times Magazine article that was published online on Wednesday, that he wanted to "ask people for a second chance," had commissioned polls to assess his chances in the mayoral race and believed that "it's now or maybe never for me, in terms of running for something." So people in the race read the NY Times profile and quickly determined Weiner was thinking about running. But the editor of the piece now says he did not see Weiner as a "political figure" at the time. What could account for this divergence of opinion? 'Elites' Cause Widespread Reconsideration of Meaning of Word 'Elite' by Jul 29, 2013 3:38 PM PT Share This: Print In response to NY Times Author 'Assumed' Weiner Had Stopped Sexting: Of course, again prompting the question we have to keep asking, are they stupid and incompetent, or are they merely liars? Over at my site I had this to say about constitutional scholar Barack Obama and the rest of the plague in DC: It is like this: It is like the so-called elites are no longer even pretending to be part of a democratic republic anymore. And let me say this: The primary problem with the so-called elites is not that they are not humble. The primary problem with the so-called elites is not that they are not patriotic. The primary problem with the so-called elites is not that they are not godly. They're not, but that's not the primary problem. The primary problem with the so-called elites is that they are not elite, and they are neither wise, nor intelligent, nor educated, nor enlightened, nor superior in any fashion save two, accident of circumstance and elevated self-regard. They do not know what the hell they are saying, or doing, or saying, and I said saying twice because they largely do not "do." They almost universally come from background professions in which there is no clear and direct relationship between error and consequence -- in the "doing" fields, there's always such a connection, and people understand quite tangibly the cost of a mistake. But this lot comes entirely from fields in which there really is no standard of performance because it's all rather theoretical and vague and Good Excuses always trump Bad Results. And that's no coincidence: They have chosen such fields because they do not wish to be ruled by the Tyranny of Records and Results. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National Austin police say shooter who targeted downtown buildings dead28 Nov 2014, 3:25 AM PDT Two NY boys rescued from snowbank after plow inadvertently buries them28 Nov 2014, 2:28 AM PDT Austin police: Shooter targets buildings downtown, prompts evacuation of police headquarters28 Nov 2014, 2:01 AM PDT Ferguson protesters move from streets to stores on Black Friday28 Nov 2014, 12:28 AM PDT Ohio State football player reported missing by family28 Nov 2014, 12:00 AM PDT advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter

Product placement in movies is a big business, but is it always necessary? This is the question we asked ourselves when watching the movie trailer for Sony Picture's new film due out this fall called Elysium – a 22nd Century story about the privileged and elite who live in their own separate dwelling while Earth rots away. Toward the end of the trailer, a flying car flashes across the screen, and what familiar logo do we see on this car's rump? Yup, Bugatti.
Now, we're not saying that it's hard to imagine that in a future world – with a private inhabitance for the rich and cancer-curing machines – people would pilot flying Bugattis. It does seem like a questionable move on Bugatti's part, however, since it seems that the people of Elysium aren't exactly painted in a flattering light. We'll hold our official judgment about the movie and Bugatti's role in it until we've watched the thing. Until then you can check out the official trailer below in which you'll also catch a glimpse of a post-apocalyptic Nissan GT-R (if you have especially sharp eyes).

Bachelor of Business Administration – Health Care Management
The BBA in Health Care Management major is a distinctive, interdisciplinary program with a business focus and a strong biological component. In addition to the BBA business core and electives, this major requires courses in biological sciences and other disciplines. The required biology component is sufficient for the student to earn a minor in biology. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the Health Care Management major curriculum is almost completely pre-specified.
What Our Program Offers You
- Health care employment opportunities are growing faster than average, with excellent prospects for applicants with health care work experience and leadership skills in business and management.
- Changes in health care regulations, implementation of new technologies and emphasis on preventative care contribute to increased need for health care management specialists.
- Services previously provided in hospitals are shifting to offices of health care providers. These smaller offices will require managers with health care knowledge and excellent business skills.
- Shenandoah's Health Care Management major integrates a heavy concentration of biological sciences with core studies in business. This distinct feature provides you with a unique combination of skill sets in health care and business that will increase your marketability and prepare you for a diverse range of careers.
- The program is small and focused, so you'll receive individual attention from experienced professionals. The curriculum will prepare you for graduate studies, as well as careers ranging from managing small medical clinics or health care practitioner offices to roles such as CEO of a large hospital.
- The Health Care Management major is a great choice if you want a career in health care, but aren't sure if medical school is right for you. It's also the perfect choice if you're an entrepreneur-minded student who wants to combine your business skills with your passion for helping others.
- The highly specific requirements of both the biology and business components mean you'll receive a comprehensive foundation of knowledge to prepare you for a successful career.

The honeymoon doesn't last forever after you say "I do." Marriage has its ups and downs, but therapists say the secret to success is simple: communication.
However, how you communication could make or break that bond.
Marriage experts say couples today face a big challenge, the temptations of technology.
Being married for 54 years with nine children and 17 grandchildren, Stan and Marion Herman have a lot of names, birthdays, special occasions, and even sad stories to remember together.
Now 77-years-old, the Michiana couple met at a dance when they were 23 and were married a year later.
Marion says she was pretty sure Stan would be her husband right off the bat. Even if that meant letting him show some of his love and attention to the Chicago Cubs on his free time.
Marion recalls, "I had dated a guy I didn't like because he kept changing his stories on where he's been and what he's been doing. Stan was very forthright."
As the Hermans look back on their vows, they knew they were in the relationship together through thick and thin. They realized that no marriage is completely perfect and there are always problems to be overcome.
Stan and Marion say a common problem for them was staying on each other's team when raising all of their children. They said it was hard to keep their message consistent.
They also said just the tension from having a bad day needed to be overcome. They say that arguments could hurt the other people. In anger, they might have said something they were sorry for later.
Today, the "later" means now. With e-mail, instant messaging, cell phones, and text messages, a fight can last all day, aggravating the other people and doing more damage to the relationship.
Scott Tafelski, a counselor at Intrigue says that, "back in the day when we didn't have the technology, you had to base your judgments on your interactions with people."
Now people are relying on the written word to work through the rough patches in a relationship. For example, sending a loved one a message after a fight saying "I really need to speak to you" might have a positive or negative connotation to it. From there, the reply and timeliness of the next message can cause even more problems for a feuding couple.
Tafelski says, "people are experiencing depression, anger, anxiety based on words and not actual experiences."
Mental health experts say that it is very important to have self control. The advice from experts is to think before hitting send on a message during tense times.
The counselors at Intrigue say that respect is the key to surviving the rocky times, especially when technology is concerned in love in the 21st century.
In part two, meet a couple ready to file for divorce because technology came between them.
