No sound from internet, but have system sounds
I'm working on a rebuild of an old Dell. I disabled the onboard sound, and installed several different PCI sound cards. The system is not my main system, but a spare. It's a 32-bit processor, but has Win7 Pro 64 OS.
The onboard sound adapter is so old, I could not get 64-bit drivers from Dell, so I disabled it and bought a couple of PCI sound cards. The drivers installed properly, but I can not get sound from internet, such as YouTube, Pandora no matter which sound adapter is used. This is true in either FireFox or IE9.
But I **DO** get sound from system events such as opening or closing Windows, beeps, errors, etc. **AND** I can play MP3 files from my HD through WMP.
I have downloaded the latest Flash player from Adobe, but I'm not sure if it was 32-bit or 64-bit Flash Player. Would this matter?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no possible way you can install a 64-bit OS onto a 32-bit Processor. It won't work. Period. End of Story.
Either you have a 64-bit processor, or your confused as to which version of Windows 7 you have.
Goto Control Panel -> System. Under "System Type" it will say either 32-bit or 64-bit OS.
Try some of these first:
Do me a favor in Firefox too - goto Tools -> Addons -> Plugins.
Tell me if Flash is listed in there and what it says.

No sound from internet, but have system sounds
Are you sure about that? Because it's a 7-year-old DELL (pretty sure that preceeds 64-bit processors), and it does have a 32-bit processor (Pentium 2.6GHz) and the system properties screen does show that it's a 64-bit OS.
So... not confused.
And almost everything does work except the sound from internet sites.
So, I take exception to "no possible way" and "period, end of story." It may be your experience that you can't do this, but other's experiences may be different.
I will explore the link you gave me.

If you are going to tell me I don't know what I am doing when I do, ESPECIALLY when I am, ask someone else on another forum. If it says you are running a 64-bit OS, it is a 64-bit processor. PERIOD.
First off, it's a 64-bit processor, you can run 32-bit programs too on a 64-bit processor. You CANNOT run 64-bit on a 32-bit processor.....if I didnt make that clear... Your getting ahead of yourself for someone who has 18+ years of experience.
See these:
Download this and run it:
CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
I want to know the processor name. I GUARANTEE it has 64-bit.
If you still don't want to believe me, wait for someone else or like I said post somewhere else.
I will not argue any more.

32-bit versus 64-bit processors
So what do you need to run a 64-bit version of Windows? That's no mystery either. You need a computer with a 64-bit processor (also called an x64 processor, or CPU).

RE: No sound from internet, but have system sounds
OK. I am humbled. I stand corrected and apologize for the attitude. (I was acting on information given by someone else who claims to have installed a 64 bit version of Win7 on a 32 bit machine, and apparently he does not know as much as he claims to know.)
I have attached a screen shot of the system properties of this machine. As is evident from the screen shot, it does indeed have 64 bit Win7, and the processor is a Pentium D CPU 2.8Ghz, which is apparentlyly enough like a 64 bit CPU that you can install the 64 bit Win7 OS. I thought the system was old enough to preceed the use of 64 bit processors. Apparently I was wrong, and I apologize and I'm willing to learn something new.
But this gets back to the original question of why we can't get sound from websites like Pandora and YouTube.
But we can still get sound from ITunes or WMP to play MP3s, DVDs and CDs play audio, and system sounds are fine, such as starting and closing Win7, beeps, Skype startup and quit, plugging in USB devices, etc.
We have done the following to try to remedy this situation:
Disabled the onboard sound card (because Dell said there were not any 64 bit drivers available after we gave them the Service Tag number) and installed two different PCI sound cards, a Diamond and a Rocketfish 5.1. Even reinstalled the drivers a few different times.
Backgraded from IE9 to IE8.
Uninstalled FireFox V6 and reinstalled it.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player 10.3 and Shockwave (several times).
After all this, still no sound from YouTube and Pandora.
What else is left to try?
Thanks for any help given.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
What does the Firefox Plugin Container look like in the Windows Volume mixer?
Does it appear when playing a video on Youtube and is the volume slider turned up?
|My System Specs
|26 Sep 2011
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit
Two things:
1. Couldn't you just re-enable the onboard sound and see if Windows can find 64-bit drivers on its own? I wouldn't trust Dell to just make the assumption that no 64-bit drivers are available, "period." I'd want to see that for myself.
2. Actually, PCI cards will generally have better sound quality, so let's stick with that. But, why have two of them installed? Why not just one? Are both soundcards actually connected to any speakers/headphones, or just one of them? I just can't help but wonder if sound from your browser/Flash player is coming out through the other card...

It might be worth having a look in the BIOS and seeing what's going on there.

Invasion: Polyphonic Spree's Fragile Army is finally poised to invade the nation. The album is set for release June 19, and if you want you can buy the special edition with a 52-minute DVD documentary (made by Julie Doyle) and a Hal Samples-shot video, along with a Fragile Army patch. Then the Spree kick off their tour June 23 at the Granada and conclude with a performance at the August 3 Chicago Lollapalooza, with 25 dates in between. Even though we all know the Spree would never hurt a fly, it's still kind of creepy to know they've evolved from the cult-rumor-inducing robes to black, military-style uniforms. Really, guys? Black? In the summer? In Chicago?
'Cept, Metal Mondays, it turns out, is a show produced by Perfect World Entertainment, a company that puts on such shows all across the country, often catering to corporate and celebrity clients (according to their Web site, Jessica Simpson's a fan). "Credited with single-handedly igniting the disco revival of the 1990s," the site says, "PWE has applied the same innovative approach to its other shows like 'The Spazmatics,' a nerdy new wave dance party, and the comedic pop-rock spoof known as 'Metal Shop.'" Can you imagine dragging your ass to some company get-together and having to endure three hours of the Spazmatics? That's so The Office! Anyway, turns out there are different Metal Shop bands across the country. Kinda takes the fun out of it, huh?

Jul 1, 2011But just as with any fitness program, it's up to the players to decide how much they want to put into the game– and while the instructors on ExerBeat won't know if you're playing from the couch, that Balance Board will.
Jun 6, 2011ExerBeat is not for gamers, and it was never meant to be. If you are looking to work up a sweat and get better feedback than you would just watching an aerobics video, though, ExerBeat works pretty well.
Jun 5, 2011Still, the low price of the title can help one overlook those flaws, and if you're looking for a good complementary piece to Wii Fit Plus, this would be a good candidate.
May 18, 2011ExerBeat is a game with nice ideas not well implemented. Graphics and musics are not convincing even for a Wii game, and the final result is acceptable though you should keep in mind that there are better alternatives around.
Sep 12, 2011A clumsy interface as well as an ineffective physical activity, Exerbeat is not the worst offender in this continuously offensive market of unimaginative motion control games, but it offers little value beyond keeping grandma and grandpa entertained during their next visit, though Nintendo's first party efforts are still the clear choice for virtual workouts.

Dec 26, 2013Okay this is why i really rather trust in user ratings and not critics. This game is great, i think is the best Exercise Wii game out there and there is one reason that stand out above others, you don't need to have the remote in your hand to play it if you don't like it. So, at expense of gaining 'less' points in the world travel side game, you get what you want, excellent exercise. I don't understand what are the critics looking for, the variety of exercises is great, the pacing is not boring, and as i said, being able to focus in the actual exercise and not if the control and the receiver communicate accurately it's awesome. I love this game, and I have tried others, please try it if you are serious about exercising, do not go along with critics reviews.… Expand

Weekender -- Augustus Toplady on Conversion
Augustus Toplady:
One great contest, between the religion of Arminianism, and the religion of Christ, is, who shall stand entitled to the praise and glory of a sinner's salvation? Conversion decides this point at once; for I think that, without any imputation of uncharitableness, I may venture to say, that every truly awakened person, at least when he is under the shine of God's countenance upon his soul, will fall down upon his knees, with this hymn of praise ascending from his heart, Not unto me, O Lord, not unto me, but to thy name, give the glory: I am saved not for my righteousness, but for thy mercy and thy truth's sake.

Open letter to Alexander
GREAT editorial. It's about time we had a "right side" editor who will stand up to liberal "Republicans" who are as bad or worse than Democrats. The former editor kissed up to incumbents no matter how egregious their betrayal of the principles they supposedly stood for. I'm glad we now have someone who has the guts to call a RINO a RINO.
An honor and a challenge
Welcome. I'm looking forward to a change from the previous editor who preferred RINOs, and especially incumbents, over any newcomer who actually wanted to make a dent in the size of government.
No winners in push to recall Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield
You know, Ron Littlefield could have spared the citizens all this turmoil by just resigning when a recall petition was provided to the Election Commission containing the signatures of more voters than voted for him in the last election. We could have had a new, productive mayor all this time. But it seems to be an ego thing with him.
Ron Paul backers push for more press
And he is absolutely right about all of it!

I guess maybe they will pay the fee next time. Hard lesson to learn, but they shouldn't expect fire protection for free.

UPDATE 3:22 PM January 7, 2013
Several voting rights groups have responded against Bell's proposed photo ID law.
The Fair Elections Legal Network (FELN) calls the proposal "disappointing". While Richmond NAACP President Dr. Kim Allen said, "lawmakers remain dogged in their attempts to make it harder to vote."
The groups are also concerned about the cost of implementing a photo ID system, citing that Indiana spent over $10 million between 2007-2010 to hand out 771,017 free photo IDs.
Courtney Mills, staff attorney with FELN, said, "The General Assembly passed a new voter ID bill in the last legislative session which cost the Commonwealth valuable resources and money to implement. By introducing another voter ID bill, Delegate Bell is simply playing politics with the right to vote instead of focusing on improving the Commonwealth for all Virginians."
ProgressVA points out that over 20 million people nationwide do not have government-issued photo identification.
January 7, 2013
Delegate Rob Bell announced on Monday the introduction of his "Photo ID - No Exceptions" bill to the General Assembly.
The bill would require Virginians to present a valid government issued-photo identification in order to vote.
Current law allows for voters to use non-photo documents such as utility bills to establish identity at the polls on Election Day.
"There is a video on the Internet of a political operative discussing how to forge utility bills on Election Day. Current ID rules are not enough. We need to stop voter fraud before it happens," said Bell. "It's impossible to fix the problem after non-citizens and felons have cast ballots. What you have then is a tainted election."
Bell's bill would also provide a photo ID at no charge, if the voter can't afford it.

I was first introduced to Bar Maniac by a promoter in a skirt shorter than her panties. The hottie handed me a flyer announcing the Hollywood flair bar´s opening and then kept sauntering down the sidewalk, cheeky as could be. Five months later, the invitation from ¨Hot Ladies of Rock¨ to ¨Come Swab our Cheeks¨ at the same location seemed to be just more of the same. If Tom Cruise´s anti-psychology rants circa 2005 are passé, what does that say about flair bartending, the theme of his 1988 movie Cocktail? But since fans of heavy metal were uniting to benefit leukemia patients, I figured there couldn´t be a worthier opportunity to visit the place.
I forked over my 15-dollar donation at the door, but the dude in charge wanted more.
Tissue sample? We just met!
¨It doesn´t hurt,¨ the guy assured me, explaining it was a painless swab that would determine which leukemia patient I could help with the donation of my... bone marrow?
I´m no Tom Cruise, but I do happen to know that marrow is on the inside of the bones. Ouch. So I ordered a vodka and soda. The bartender delivered my drink in a plastic lowball glass. Flair? I guess that was the spray of soda and a maraschino cherry.
¨The other cheeks!¨ Door Guy said when a woman jokingly lifted her right buttock off her stool for swabbing.
He handed her a paper cup of water. She took a mouthful, swished and swallowed. Then she rubbed a little plastic stick on the inside of both cheeks and was done.
Door Guy introduced himself as Craig Marks, a physical therapist and personal trainer by day, who, as The Junkyard Cat, fills his evenings by organizing rockin´ charity events like tonight´s. He´d created a dynamic duo with hospital nurse and Who´s Hot in Hollywood booking agent Diane Wiggins. Together, they´ve raised thousands for charities, including cerebral palsy and breast cancer. This night´s cause held special significance, Marks told me; his mother-in-law has leukemia.
While the band Phoenix Nebulin thrashed and its lead singer, a diminutive woman with wild red hair, roared and growled, several people sitting on stools bent over the shiny aluminum bar-top to tend to their donor forms.
I listened to a young woman explain things to some tattooed guys. This was Katharina Harf, the executive vice president of DKMS Americas. The tissue samples, she explained, go into a database to find patient-donor connections. When a match is made, the donor is contacted. Eighty-percent of the time, she assured, the collection is made by a relatively painless procedure similar to plasma donation, except that stem cells rather than platelets are collected.
Harf said she lost her mother in 1991 to leukemia because no such database or donor recruitment existed. That´s when her father founded DKMS in Germany; then they expanded to the U.S., since the gene pool is more diverse, which means more people, especially minorities, can be saved. As she talked, I began to understand: Like eHarmony and Match.com, they determined compatibility to make meaningful and desperately needed hook-ups.
Equally committed to connections, Bar Maniac proved its community service on its flat screen TVs, which showcased all manner of scantily-clad, onsite shenanigans -- body shots, booby flashing, girl-on-girl kissing, and booty grabbing among them. Another Diane, a hospital admissions staffer, had just about seen it all, she told me. She´d partied with the best of the best as a teenager, including Johnny Depp and The Ramones.
But had she ever seen this?
The bartender dropped a lime slice over his shoulder, kicked it with his heel so that it launched back overhead, and then caught the wedge in his drink shaker.
As the band finished its set with an angry song, Linda Doval wasn´t living up to her bad-girl image; she´d registered as a do-good marrow donor. Sure, with a stud driven through the flesh beneath her lower lip she looked like a bad-ass. But did she have what it takes if she was one of the 20 percent of donors who might have a needle inserted into their pelvic bones?
¨I´ve had a baby, so I can handle anything,¨ she replied. ¨If it´s going to save a life, then it´s worth it.¨
What about the guy at the table in front, smoking the clove cigarette with one hand and gripping a camera in the other? The graphic designer and band photographer was a friend of Phoenix Nebulin. And, yes, he´d also volunteered for a swabbing. He handed me a card announcing himself as Eric Keronen. True to his metal-loving Finnish heritage (Finland has contributed H.I.M, the 69 Eyes, and the monster band Lordi that gave the world ¨Rock ´n´ Roll Hallelujah¨), Eric had played guitar in the heavy metal band Mass Hysteria, which was born and died in the ´80s.
¨Why didn´t people just let heavy metal in general rest in peace?¨ I wondered.
¨It´s not over. It´s just underground like it should be,¨ Eric insisted. ¨Commercialism like MTV killed the bad stuff, like hair metal. The good stuff, like Metallica and Pantera, remained.¨

Charges dropped, Auburn officer says chief gave him rifle
The case against David Flight was suddenly upended by the state Attorney General's Office last Tuesday, roughly two weeks before the start of trial. Flight, a former evidence officer and department prosecutor, was indicted in September on felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking and receiving stolen property for allegedly taking the high-powered rifle from the department's evidence room sometime after Dec. 7, 1992.
Prosecutors said last week that new, credible evidence surfaced that suggested it would have been a challenge to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Flight's claim about how he came to acquire the 30-06 Remington rifle seized from a home in 1992 was first disclosed to investigators more than a year ago, according to defense lawyer Eric Wilson.
Flight told state police investigators who came to his home with a search warrant last Feb. 8 that the gun was not stolen.
"He advised that Chief Picard had given him the gun in consideration for storing a large number of seized weapons at his home which the Auburn Police Department could not accommodate in its evidence room," Wilson said in court papers. Wilson told a judge that Flight "provided numerous other examples of weapons being given to officers by Chief Picard."
Picard could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Judge Kenneth McHugh did not act on the request by the defense to dismiss the charges, and state prosecutors never filed any kind of response to contest a possible dismissal. Instead, a prosecutor came to court last Tuesday and dropped the charges, writing they were "inexpedient" to prosecute.
Wilson also contended that the state was beyond any statute of limitations to bring a case against Flight.
"Unless the state can prove the offenses occurred sometime after September 7, 2006, it is barred from any further prosecution," Wilson said in the court filing.
Flight, a 21-year veteran of the department, retired in November 2010 after a town audit of the department's evidence room was deemed "inconclusive." Town officials have never revealed what was missing from the evidence room, but acknowledged after Flight's indictment that it was not the Remington rifle.
After charges were dropped last week, Wilson said that prosecutors should have never brought the case. The theft investigation began last January after two Auburn police sergeants attempted to locate the Remington rifle from the department's evidence room, seized from a home in 1992 while investigating a home invasion.
A computer check revealed to the sergeants that Flight briefly handed over the same gun in 2009 after his then-wife filed a domestic violence complaint against him. Once cleared in that case, the rifle was given back to Flight, but created a new record of it being in the department's possession.
The department then notified the state Attorney General's Office about their findings.

"durrrr" CHALLENGE
Lacey Jones Profile 2014
Lacey Jones
Lacey Jones is already a poker icon. Known to many as the "Poker Barbie," Lacey is one of the most popular players in the world, male and female alike. But there's much more to Lacey than just good looks. She's one of the most fascinating personalities in the game: In addition to being a pro poker player and a social networking phenomenon, Lacey's a fashion model and an international television host and commentator. No one has mixed poker, smarts and sex appeal quite the way that Lacey Jones has.
Born in San Antonio, Texas on April 9, 1979, Lacey took an unusual route to a poker career, and despite her fondness for the game, she never intended to be a pro player. In fact, despite a successful modeling career as a teen, Jones chose to attend college at the University of Arizona in Tucson. At age 22, she graduated with a BA in Political Science and a BA in French. She even lived in Paris for a while to perfect the language. The plan was to return home to the US, attend law school and then eventually achieve a position as a U.S. ambassador to a French-speaking country.
When she returned home, however, not everything went according to plan. Achieving her dream was an expensive proposition, and she had to make that money somehow. So she moved to Los Angeles, and while trying to land roles as a model and an actress, she took a job as a bartender. Eventually, she began landing some small jobs, many of them in Las Vegas because that town offered some great, and relatively easy, opportunities to convert her good looks into cash.
One of those opportunities turned out to be a giant springboard, but Lacey had no idea when she accepted the job. Absolute Poker hired her as a prop player for the 2005 World Series of Poker, which was televised in the U.S. on ESPN. In the poker world, a prop player is a person who represents an organization more because of their looks or celebrity than because of their ability to play. In fact, Absolute Poker had no idea if Lacey had any experience with poker at all, and they even hired poker pro Mark Seif to teach her enough to have a respectable showing.
A funny thing happened though: Lacey played extremely well. What Absolute Poker didn't know was that Lacey came from a poker-playing family. She had spent many long summer nights at the family's North Carolina beach home playing poker, and she was very good at it. Perhaps not even Lacey realized just how good she could be. When Absolute Poker saw the results, it knew right away that it had something very special on its hands. So it offered Lacey a more substantial sponsorship deal, and Lacey agreed to become part of the Absolute Poker pro team.
Lacey didn't take this opportunity for granted, and neither did Absolute Poker. Lacey continued working with Seif and other pro players in order to refine her game. Meanwhile, Lacey expanded her 15 minutes from the ESPN spot by taking to MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Within a very short period, Lacey had an Internet presence that dwarfed even the most established professional poker players. Overnight, she turned herself into a hot commodity, and businesses around the world, in and out of poker, were taking notice.
As a runway and catalog model, Lacey has represented Carolina Herrera, Max and Co., Nike Golf, Saint John and even Playboy, wearing the Playboy Leather Collection. On television, online and in magazines, she has served as a model for Daimler-Chrysler, Panasonic and Sony. She's also appeared in MGD and Coors Light commercials for the MillerCoors Company. Numerous magazines have featured Lacey, and Wicked Chops Poker and Raw Vegas once named her the "Hottest Girl in Poker."
Lacey also began hosting Vegas shows, such as Real Deal at the Venetian. That led to real television spots. First, it was ESPN hiring her for ESPN360 Live during the World Series of Poker main event, and then networks throughout the world began hiring her for various poker events. Lacey brought much more than her looks to the commentator game; she has a great TV voice and presence, a great rapport with other players and a deep understanding of the game.
Since then, Lacey Jones has become so popular as to enter mainstream American pop culture. That has landed her roles on a number of episodic television shows, including Entourage, Las Vegas and The OC. Lacey has also appeared in a music video and she's made appearances on a number talk shows in the U.S. and around the world. She's even had a role in a movie: "Goal."
In her free time, Lacey is a self-described nerd, and she's fascinated with quantum physics. She spends a great deal of time reading books about it, and particularly loves shows hosted by celebrity scientist Dr. Michio Kaku. Lacey also hasn't ruled out the possibility of returning to school. It's certainly possible that her international fame could one day lead her to realizing her dream of becoming a U.S. ambassador.
The only thing missing for Lacey right now is that first big win. She's had an array of respectable finishes, but she has neither the signature win nor the career resume to go along with her international fame that is so closely associated with the world of professional poker. In 2007, after the U.S. passed the UIGEA as part of the Safe Port Act, Absolute Poker dropped most of its sponsorship deals, including the one with Lacey. That slowed Lacey's progression as a pro player considerably, but she's certain that she'll eventually overcome it and land that signature win and a new sponsorship deal.

DEFINITION of 'Nonrevolver'
A credit card holder who pays his or her balance in full each month within the stated grace period on the account. By using the card in this manner the account holder does not incur finance charges or interest payments.
Also sometimes referred to as a "deadbeat" or "convenience user," since the credit card company does not earn any interest or non-interest revenue from the account, and the customer is able to use the card for his or her convenience instead of writing checks or using cash.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Nonrevolver'
Nonrevolvers will typically pay more attention to the grace period – the time between when a bill is sent and interest is charged on the unpaid balance – than the annual percentage rate (APR) on the card, since the holder does not intend to carry a balance. In addition, nonrevolvers are likely to make sure they do not incur an over-the-limit fee or use the card for cash advances, which incur a cost as well.

The popular eatery always draws crowds, but Saturdays are great for brunch (served until 4pm), and don't be afraid to have your dinner at the endlessly long Art Deco bar to avoid waiting for a table. The Odeon remains as the grande dame of TriBeCa.

The United Kingdom has a long history of legally sanctioned gambling going back centuries. It was the pastime of royalty in the middle ages, and there are "gentlemen's clubs" in London that can date their history back literally hundreds of years.
So while gambling is at times frowned upon and condemned, it has never been actively discriminated against in law other than to restrict its practise to licensed venues. The United Kingdom has chosen to regulate and tax the gaming industry from the outset. One of the earliest relevant laws dates back to 1689 which bans all lotteries – unless they are authorised.
This culture of licensing has resulted in a social acceptance of betting games, and a significant revenue stream for the government in the form of levies and license fees, and is currently a £63 billion pound industry.
Gambling legislation in the UK had largely been fixed in the 1960s, and there had been no significant reason to alter the laws until the advent of the World Wide Web. When casinos began to appear online, Britons flocked to them.
Government response to this new phenomenon was slow, but when the realisation arrived that their laws needed review, they developed one of the most comprehensive sets of online betting regulations in the world.
Plans to create new gambling regulations began as early as 2001. The Bill arrived at draft status in 2003, and in 2005 the Gambling Bill was passed into British law.
The Gambling Bill effectively embraces online gambling, classing it as "remote gambling" along with other off-site play such as phone-in betting or gambling over interactive satellite TV channels. Operators require a specific Remote Gambling License to offer online gambling, even if they're an established, licensed physical casino.
Additionally, you require a license to develop and distribute gambling software in the UK, primarily because this aspect of the industry is carefully regulated to prevent cheating.
Both operating an unlicensed online casino, or developing software for one without a license, carries an automatic penalty of six months in prison. Offenders may also be required to pay a fine.
The Bill contains a number of clauses designed to prevent under-age players from gambling, and interestingly also prohibits "vulnerable adults" from participating. If a child is discovered to be playing at your online casino, you may not pay out any winnings to them. You are also required to return to them any money they may have paid to you. This is obviously in cases of accidental infringement, but it is a specific offence to invite under-age players to gamble.
The Gambling Bill created a new body called the Gambling Commission whose task it is to issue licenses and monitor online casinos for compliance with the law. The Commission is also required to monitor the issue of gambling addiction, and the UK gambling industry is required to pay £3 million a year towards research into addiction and the development of methodologies to combat it.
When the Bill was introduced, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Tessa Jowell explained that the Bill in fact does not change much about what is allowed, but rather introduces safeguards for players in an age of new online gaming.

So far Indians have been playing divisive politics on the basis of caste, regionalism, religious communalism, language. etc
Now, with Owaisi desecrating the fundamentals of Indian religious faith has a new dimension of been opened? Will other religions follow this line too?

This book proposes a new agenda for research into a Critical Theory of Human Rights. Each chapter pursues three goals: to reconstruct modern philosophical theories that have contributed to our views on human rights; to highlight the importance of humanity and human dignity as a complementary dimension to liberal rights; and, finally, to integrate these issues more directly in contemporary discussions about cosmopolitanism. The authors not only present multicultural perspectives on how to rethink political and international theory in terms of the normativity of human rights, but also promote an international dialogue on the prospects for a critical theory of human rights discourses in the 21st century.

Although most of you said you enjoyed the new MGMT track, there is still buzz going around about how it doesn't sound like the MGMT arrangements we're used to. As we previously mentioned, "Flash Delirium" combines a whole of of choppy material all under five minutes instead of the psychedelic falsetto melodies we like so much from the Brooklyn duo.
Well, it turns out that MGMT has read all our tweets and blog posts and basically apologized for the new song. Why are they apologizing for material they've proudly released under their name? According to Spinner, MGMT initially thought the song was hilariously ridiculous as well and assures us that it is not a single from their upcoming album, Congratulations.
MGMT's Ben Goldwasser gave Spinner the scoop behind "Flash Delirium" with the following explanation:
"When we first wrote that song, we were laughing so hard [...]Andrew [VanWyngarden] just reminded me of that, that we thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever heard. And then we got used to it, it started to sound more normal. It's not a single, but we thought it was a good way to entice people to listen to the whole record. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think it's completely weird and not what they were expecting [...] I'm sorry [...] We're trying to come to grips with that world. It's not our world. We don't feel comfortable in it. But we didn't want to make that typical second album either, about fame. So we're definitely observing it, as opposed to revelling in it."
That sure explains a lot and with that said we're looking forward to what other sounds the duo can put together for us on their new album which drops on April 13.
Do you feel better now that MGMT was kind of kidding about that song?

UPDATED Wednesday, April 13, 2011 --- 11:14 a.m.
Update from Madison Police:
Ms. King was located in Chicago. She is fine, and she is safe.
Posted Tuesday, March 29, 2011 --- 11:15 a.m.
From the Madison Police Department:
Incident Type:
Missing Adult
Incident Date:
west side group home
The Madison Police Department is seeking citizen help in locating a missing 20-year old woman.
Ms. Tyreena A. King departed a west side group home on March 18th, shortly after 11:00 a.m. She said she was going to West Towne Mall. Ms. King is cognitively disabled, and has left the group home numerous times in the past. Typically, she returns within a week. It is unusual for her to stay away this long, although there is nothing, at this time, to suggest that she is the victim of a crime. However, there is concern for her welfare.
Anyone seeing Ms. King should call 911.
She is 20-years old, 5'2", 200 pounds, and she has a stutter. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a plaid jacket with a hood that has fur on it.

An Apology And An Attempt At Compensation
On Sunday, I linked to Will Wilkinson bashing Richard Layard and his utilitarianism (again), something which, as anyone who has read this blog for a while, I have not little sympathy with, as utilitarianism is, I am convinced, philosophically interesting but seriously, seriously wrong as a moral philosophy (morality is not about maximisation, and whatever it does aim at, it is not only happiness). Brad De Long has a go at showing that Layard is right here and here. I've been rather disparaging about De Long's philosophical pretensions before (here), and now I'm going to do it again (not that Will needs the help: he does a fairly good job of defending himself here).
In the first link, De Long represents Bentham as a preference satisfaction theorist and defends him on the grounds that preference satisfaction is a good moral theory, which a) as Brian Weatherson points out, is simply wrong about Bentham and b) comes up against the problem of really morally objectionable premises, which I have outlined before. He also makes the classic subjectivist mistake of assuming that because something makes us happy, that is what is good about it, rather than the fact it is good making us happy, in attempting to give a reply to Wilkinson's argument: I don't care about moral value x because it makes me happy, I care about moral value x because it's moral value x, and if I achieve the ends it prescribes, I will tend to be happy because I have achieved ends I care about.
In the second link, he has a go at dealing with Nozick's infamous experience machine (this is a thought experiment supposed to show the falsity of all experience based ethical theories, where we think about whether we would think it was right to spend our entire lives in a machine which prevented us from having any contact with the world at all, and instead provided us with experiences which would be valuable were they had in the real world, and which we believed were in the real world, in exactly the same way that we now believe our experiences are in the real world: to put it another way, do we, or do we not, go back into the Matrix?). He seems to think that reading a book counts as a kind of low-level experience machine, and the fact that we read books means that Bentham must be partly right.
Firstly, books are not anything like Nozick's experience machine: that radically falsifies our experience - we believe we're living out a life full of friendship, success in our goals, and so on, when in fact we're strapped into and kept alive by a machine and doing none of these things - whereas books, even at worst, produce a kind of immersion in an interior world which by virtue of its interiority always knows it is not the whole world (and which is achieved through an engagement with an object in the world which is not characterised by total falsification) . Second, even if books were anything like Nozick's experience machine, the fact that we don't spend out whole lives reading them indicates that they are no counter-example to the point it makes: genuine utilitarians have to believe that if our lives would contain more happy experiences spent wholly in the experience machine, as the thought experiment specifies, we are obliged to live our whole lives in the experience machine (indeed, the idea that we would not become aware of the non-veridicality of the experiences in the experience machine if we were not always in it is surely ridiculous).
Also, Scanlon comments in one of DeLong's posts, and that's worth reading just because it's Scanlon. Scanlon has written fairly extensively on the metric of value, which this is basically a discussion about, including what I take as the claim that preference satisfaction as a measure of value may contain a fatal paradox, because, if it says that only people's preferences can stand as the basis for claims about value, it can't affirm its own claims about the value of people's lives, as that is on the basis of something other than people's preferences, specifically, the claim that only people's preferences can stand as the basis for claims about value. He also makes a more conventional argument involving a religious fanatic really wants to work themselves to death to produce a monumental status of their God, or something similar, which is supposed to show, that since we think there's at least something wrong about that, and would attempt to prevent them from doing that, at least if it did actually kill them - let's suppose that's all they want, so at least mostly disarming the 'they'd want other things too, and that's what we care about' argument - we must think that there are other sources of value apart from preference satisfaction (the informed preferences argument is no good either, because the standards by which we judge the informed-ness of preferences look suspiciously like they are the standards by which we judge whether they aim at things which are, of themselves, good).
The Sharpener has a post up by Andrew of nontrivial solutions having a go at the welfare state because it provides incentives for what he takes to be morally bad things, in particular, abortion and divorce. Legalising abortion undoubtedly, in the sense that it removes a disincentive, provides an incentive to abortion. This is not an interesting claim. The interesting claims are the ones in the arguments over the morality, or otherwise, of abortion. If abortion's bad, then it would be bad - at least in the sense that it is likely to lead to an increase in the number of abortions, which might not be all the things we would want to consider - to remove a disincentive to abortion. No argument was provided even to this limited effect, limited because it doesn't discuss the undoubted costs, on the child, the parents, and society at large, of having unwanted children.
The divorce argument is just wrong-headed a similar way. The claim is that by increasing benefit to un-married parents, the incentives for divorce are increased. As in the case of abortion, insofar as this increases the number of divorces, and divorces are bad, this would be - in this sense - a bad thing. On the other hand, tying people in to loveless and/or abusive marriages is, by implication, since it is not discussed, no cost to be considered at all, just as the fact that parents who aren't living together might have costs they didn't have before, most notably, the cost of providing themselves with somewhere to live now they're not living in the former family home, is also ignored. Bah (textual representation of dismissive Italian hand gesture picked up from better half).
Stumbling and Mumbling is getting all het-up that Marx might win the Radio four philosophy poll. He wants Hume to win. I have to say that I find the critical acclaim heaped on Hume totally baffling: there is not a single philosophical position which he takes up that I can think of which is not clearly wrong or utterly banal. None of his work that I've read is half as well written as the Communist Manifesto either. I don't think Mill's a better philosopher than Marx either, even though I probably agree with Mill more, mainly because Marx is such a provocative thinker, in a way that neither Mill (now, anyway) or Hume are. As for Hobbes, well, any liberal - scrap that, anyone - who thinks well of who believes that we, as a matter of moral necessity, must concentrate all power in the hands of one person is a nutcase (and anyone who says anything about the dictatorship of the proletariat wll be reminded that the state, and so concentration of any legal coercive power in anyone's hands, supposedly withers away in the communist utopia, which, for all its impossibility, is a rather appealing moral vision).
On a slightly lighter note, a guest-poster at Ezra Klein's blog talks about why they think we are scared of zombies. Personally, I was quite uncomfortable being anywhere by myself for a not-insignificant period of time after seeing the remake of 'Dawn of the Dead' (seriously: that's the last non-comedy zombie film I ever see), and I think they're probably right: it's something to do with anonymity, and huge numbers.
Finally, this is an interesting and sensible take on the problems the left faces all on both sides of the Atlantic, I think (taking for granted that describing, in British terms at least, the current Labour Party as leftwing rather than say centrist, or even centre-right, would be misleading).

Re: "[DeLong] also makes the classic subjectivist mistake of assuming that because something makes us happy, that is what is good about it, rather than the fact it is good making us happy..."
Don't be daft. What I wrote was:
"At its core utilitarianism is two commands:
"1. Respect people's choices--those made with enough information, after sufficient deliberation, when they are in possession of their faculties. You want to know what is good for someone? Watch the choices that he or she makes. Watch them carefully.
"2. A good society is one in which as much of what people would choose for themselves--with enough information, after sufficient deliberation, when they are in possession of their faculties--is attained, taking care that when there is a tradeoff between one person's preferences and another's, each one counts equally."

No, I'm not being daft. You've identified the wrong set of points as the part I criticise. The place you make what I call the classic subjectivist mistake is when you attempt to defend Layard against Wilkinson by arguing that it would be bizarre to say that we would sacrifice happiness for other values, saying
The response... would be that Wilkinson believes that if he were to sacrifice his freedom for his happiness, that if he were to do so he would then look back on the choices he made and look ahead to his future life, and that he would be unhappy. If Wilkinson says otherwise--that he would look back on the choices he made and look ahead to his future life and be happy, but that he would still regret what he had done and wish he had done otherwise--Wilkinson is simply saying, "Baa baa buff."
I think what you mean here - the passage is far from clear - is that it would be odd if we made choices, thinking that they realised values of some sort, and then regreted those choices - were unhappy - as long as the supposed values we were aiming at were realised. So, by this argument, we would be happy, even though we weren't, by our own lights, aiming at happiness. Thus happiness must be the single transcendent value: we are decieved about what we in fact are doing, because what we really want is to be happy. If that is the argument you make, then it is the classic subjectivist mistake I outlined, because it assumes that value x we think we are aiming at is in fact merely a means to happiness, rather than happiness resulting from the achievement of value x. Perhaps hedonist would be a better name for this mistake.
And it is a mistake. It makes the claim that happiness is not the supreme value non-falsifiable, because there is nothing that can be said against it, at least in the form you presented it in, because any value I claim is not do to with happiness can have increasingly tenuous links to happiness drawn for it. It also makes happiness an extra-moral value, which I think is simply a psychological mistake: if I am happy because I fulfill some onerous duty, it is because I believe it was duty, and it would have been wrong of me not to fulfill it - the motivation comes from the acknowledgement of the duty, not the desire for happiness. Finally, related to the idea that the claim is non-falsifiable, the argunment makes the concept of happiness so vague as to be utterly uninteresting: it could not fail to pick out 'good' mental states, simply because anything that pleases us is happiness. This is rather like the argument for egoism which runs, all my desires/preferences are mine, any action I take must aim at the satisfaction of some of my desires/preferences, therefore we are all egoists, because all our actions aim at the satisfaction of our own desires/preferences. If this is true, it is so banal as to be utterly uninteresting. Egoism wins, but it's a totally phyrric victory.
The pieces of your piece you cite have very little to do with utilitarianism, except through some rather dubious empirical premises, as Nozick's experience machine shows: if people didn't make informed choices - for fairly good reasons I suspect - to go into the experience machine, a utilitarian would force them, because they would, ex hypothesi, be happier in the experience machine. They look to me like premises that would be justified by something like autonomy, rather than happiness, simply because there is very little evidence at all that people do make choices which make them happy - rather than lead to them having good lives.

Each time i got up to move my thrashed soul
burdened, tired and deeply remorse,
For the largest part of my journey i would drag it,
push it, pull it but it wont just move forward.
Well this went on for a long long time,
until one day i noticed...
I noticed though in a dull, peeping light,
I was tied down,
Under heavy, rusted, ugly looking chains.
These chains were built especially for me,
of pain, of failure, of regret, of guilt, of lost inspirations, of judgement, betrayal, loneliness, disappointment,anger and sorrow.
I was shocked, nervous, desperate to get out of them,
so i shook my body really fast,
till my bones started aching...
No use, in fact all that i tried worked against me,
the more i resisted, the more they grew on me,
the more i moved, the more they got hold of me.
I panicked, i cried, i shouted, by now i was desperate,
All this while i had not seen them,
i didn't know about their existence,
but now i knew and i wanted to get rid of them.
I tried harder,
i became wild and my wilderness clearly fetched me no results,
the chains had wrapped themselves around me,
i was almost breathless,
i was sure i will die.
Just when i lost all hope,
closed my eyes,
accepted my defeat,
i saw them loosening up on me.
I was surprised,
all this while when i was struggling,resisting, fighting,
this did not happen.
It actually happened when i gave up,
when i was not desperate,
was not pretending!!
I have closed my eyes,
i am ready to feel the pain,
i will not shy away from hurt,
I am sore, wounded, bruised
but i wont't be chained!!!!!!

Trucking to expand
There is not. There never has been. There never will be a driver shortage. The supply of drivers is elastic. What we have is a shortage of people/companies willing and able to pay the going rate. It is like me going to a Cadillac dealer and plunking down $10,000 for a new Cadillac. When the dealer turns down my offer I leave and complain about a Cadillac shortage.

Colorescience Foundations use micronized mineral pigments, which cover better than liquid foundation because they bond with the skin rather than creating an artificial layer and naturally match your skin color for a more even appearance. Second Skin is a medium-tone golden foundation.
Prime your brush before you begin. Brush in a circular motion on dry, but moisturized skin. Layer lightly for a soft, natural look. Layer heavily for more coverage. For use as a concealer, apply with a detail brush.
