If you did not hear President Barack Obama's whole speech Friday, it is totally worth the full 17 minutes. He showed deep concern and honest emotion with no TelePrompter and no practiced cadence. It was even more moving when I re-listened to it on the Internet.
How I wish he would had just added "Replace everything I just said about blacks and African-Americans with any other minority you can name such as Hispanic or Asian or Middle Eastern or Native American and you have a start toward understanding minorities." This would have taken a political offering about his established base and transformed it into a long-remembered presidential moment.

Racism goes both ways
In response to Margaret Hall's letter ["Black youths must learn a whole new set of rules," July 21, 2013), my white children were given the same lessons about how to act while driving if stopped by the police and that was 30 years ago in the suburbs. Our suburb is a melting pot of races and cultures. While the suburb is predominately white, no black youth has a problem while walking down our streets. But I have to admit I would not feel safe walking, or for that matter, driving down a street in a black neighborhood. I have no doubt that I would be asked what I was doing there. You see, racism is a two-way street and unless we all are willing to let go of it, nothing is going to change. Many of the youth of today are doing a good job of eliminating racism, so why don't the adults follow their lead?
Janet Lumm, Schaumburg
Middle class no longer prosperous
The middle class is the new poor people. Not so long ago, we were going about our lives, day to day, enjoying life's simplest of pleasures. We were not rich, not poor, but comfortable. We were able to pay our bills, put food on our tables, and gasoline in our vehicles. We worked hard and played hard. No longer are we a double-income family with two kids, but rather, a triple-income family with two kids, and yet, the threat of foreclosure is imminent. We have changed nothing in our personal lives on our own accord. We live in the same house that we have owned for the past 20 years. We are driving the same cars that were paid for long ago, doing our best to keep them going, with the knowledge that if they cease to operate we are in deep trouble. We have done nothing to cause this strife on our own; this strife has been cast upon us like a plague, devouring our resources, and depleting our strengths to endure. We apply for assistance wherever possible, we job hunt voraciously, and we cut our meager living expenses even further. With our expenses increasing and rising and our income stagnant, we are stressed, angry, and depressed. I think the gap between the haves and the have nots has grown so extreme that there is a disconnect. We may be down but we are definitely not out. We will survive, we will endure, and we will overcome.

Philips sound system USB link with 64 bits
Hi everyone, do you know how to install a Philips MCM 530 with the USB connection to a 64bits system?
Because I've only found drivers for 32bits until now, and only for XP but it's not a problem, Windows 7 can still deal with them, the problem is just with the 64b part.
I doubt to find a solution, but if it were possible, it would help me figuring out if I only have the solution to down to 32bits for that.
Anyway, thank you.

How to sell a house Estate agents and finding the best
Although finding an agent that charges low fees is likely to be pretty high up your priorities, remember that cost is just one consideration.
If you decide to use an estate agent you want to find one you are confident will handle all aspects of your house sale professionally and efficiently.
Research estate agents
It's really important to spend some time researching local agents. You should be looking for an agent that is experienced in selling property like yours - they will have a good pool of potential buyers and know what they are looking for in a property.
Look in the local newspaper or online, as well as driving or walking around your area to see what sort of properties are on sale and which agents are marketing them.
It's also a good idea to speak to friends, family members or neighbours to see if they have used an agent they would recommend.
Once you've identified the agents that have sold properties similar to yours, call into their offices. Firstly, visit as a buyer interested in properties like your own, so you can talk to the staff and see how happy you would be if they were selling your property.
Go further: Which? Local - this service allows you to find recommended estate agents in your area
Choosing the estate agent
Try to find three good agents as this gives you a good spread of views, and invite each to give you a property valuation. Although of course getting a good selling price will be top of your list, don't automatically go with the agent that offers you the highest valuation - they may be overvaluing your property in order to get your business.
Make sure you check exactly what services they offer and whether you will have to pay extra for them, for example:
- will they conduct viewings, or will you need to?
- what marketing materials will they prepare? For example, floorplans, photographs or virtual online tours
- where will they advertise? For example, newspapers, online property websites?
- will they provide a 'for sale' board?
Know your rights: I don't want to use my estate agent anymore - How to end your contract with an estate agent
Estate agent charges
The type of estate agent contract you have will affect how much they charge you. Fees range from 1% to 2% of the selling price for 'sole agency' – i.e. you give one agent responsibility for selling your home, or from 1.5% to 2.5% to sell on a multiple agency basis (more than one agent is appointed to sell your home).
Agents will often quote their fees without VAT, so make sure you check whether you will need to pay an extra 20% on top.
Some agents offer a scaled-down service that is charged at a fixed price, which is payable upfront whether your property sells or not. This service usually includes producing property details, promoting your property online and sometimes – but not always – in the local newspaper.
Don't forget - agents are negotiators, so try to negotiate their fees.
Go further: Estate agent contracts - a list of key points to understand
Estate agent checklist
Other questions to think about asking an estate agent are:
- How many similar properties have you sold? At what price?
- How many viewings and how long did it take to sell the properties?
- How many buyers are looking for properties like mine?
- Are you a member of either the Property Ombudsman (formerly known as the Ombudsman for Estate Agents) or Ombudsman Services: Property? All estate agents must belong to one of these Office of Fair Trading-approved redress schemes. You can check on the schemes' websites as to whether an agent is a member.
- What price would you market your property for? What house price would you expect me to get? What price would you value my home for a 'quick sale'?
- Can I have a copy of the agency's contract?
Know your rights: Can I instruct more than estate agent at the same time? - our guide explains all

West Amsterdam Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Silodam apartment offers you the unique opportunity of staying in Amsterdam's historic 'Grain Silo' ? right on the harbour.
The 'Grain Silo' was commissioned in 1895 to boost trade in Amsterdam and was one of the first large industrial grain silos in the country. At the time of construction it was also meant as an emergency stock of grain in case Amsterdam would be under siege, and therefore it was given the look and style of a medieval castle, in line with other defense constructions around the city. Silodam is part of the defence system of the former Defence Line of Amsterdam. The 'Grain Silo' has been nominated for the World Heritage list of Unesco. In 1996 it was declared a national monument.
The 'Grain Silo' has now been fully converted, and Silodam Apartment is a modern apartment with spectacular views over the harbour, but within a historic setting.
The whole area around the 'Grain Silo' is an architectural wonder, where modern architecture sits side by side with historic buildings from two centuries ago.
You'll find us centrally located; just 15 minutes walk from the central station and the center of Amsterdam.
So come and experience the history of Amsterdam harbour at Silodam Apartment.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- limited accessibility
- non smoking only
- pets considered


text: All week we've barely been able to contain our excitement at the prospect of spotting our style crush du jour, Olivia Palermo, in London for Fashion Week. But just when we started to give up hope, we suddenly found ourselves sitting smack-bang opposite the highflying fashionista at the Matthew Williamson show earlier today. After attending the launch of the designer's collection for H&M back in April and donning many a Topshop number, Olivia is one A-Lister from across the pond we'd been counting on to bring some NY glamour to the British proceedings. We've got our fingers and toes crossed that she's secured a seat at Topshop later on, but the question is, will she be frock-swapping? We'll keep you posted!

Oxalis is a fast spreading, small, low-growing weed often found in gardens and lawns.
Use WEED WEAPON to kill off the top growth of oxalis.
Then once clear apply RONSTAR WEEDSTOP granules to prevent regrowth from bulbils, this is very effective on oxalis. Do not disturb soil for a period of 6 months. If soils is disturbed re-apply the RONSTAR. Note: seeds will not grow in treated area, but plants can be planted in the area.
Use LAWNCLEAN PRICKLE CONTROL or HYDROCOTYLE. This is will effectively kill creeping oxalis while leaving lawn grasses unaffected.
Oxalis is a family of small low-growing weed, some with small bulbils (small bulbs) and some, such as creeping oxalis, without bulbils but which spread by creeping stems (stolons). Bulbiled oxalis can be challenging to control as it spreads quickly and the bulbils can regrow even when the top growth is controlled. Creeping oxalis is common in lawns and is little affected by some lawn weed killers, it is most easily controlled by spot treating with WEED WEAPON or by use of LAWNCLEAN HYDROCOTYLE.
Flowers are usually very small and yellow, pink or white. Leafs are small and are in a 'T' shape folded and green or purple in colour.
Oxalis is widespread and common in gardens and lawns.
Oxalis is a genus in the wood-sorrel family Oxalidaceae. The Oxalis family includes sourgrass, horned oxalis, fishtail oxalis, creeping oxalis, Bermuda buttercup, and pink shmrock.
Latin names: Sourgrass - Oxalis articulata, Horned oxalis - Oxalis corniculata, fishtail oxalis - Oxalis latifolia, creeping oxalis - Oxalis exilis, Bermuda buttercup - Oxalis pes-caprae, and pink shmrock - Oxalis vallicola.

As expected, President Obama's budget proposal abandoned a call to change the way annual increases in Social Security benefits are calculated and continued a call for Medicare savings. Announced March 4, his plan, which goes next to Congress, would hit some Medicare providers, drug companies and higher-income Medicare beneficiaries as part of $402 billion in estimated health care savings over the next decade. Among the proposed changes for beneficiaries: Charge higher premiums for Parts B and D for higher-income people …

More than 300 companies, including Apple, Walmart, Boeing and eBay, have pledged to help the long-term unemployed find jobs under a new initiative announced by President Barack Obama today.

A day after President Barack Obama gave the go-ahead for the Treasury Department to create a "starter" savings account, experts are weighing whether it will be worthwhile or just another ignored investment tool. Critics note, for instance, that the so-called myRA will do little to overcome the huge shortfall in retirement savings among so many workers. The conservatively invested accounts, though they won't lose money, won't make much of a return, either. And the myRA is voluntary, so it's unclear …

President Barack Obama is moving quickly to make good on his pledge to create a new "starter" savings program for workers without a retirement plan on the job. He announced in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night that he would use his executive authority to establish a so-called myRA (my retirement account) that would allow workers to direct a portion of their pay into an account that invests in government securities. On Wednesday afternoon, he signed a presidential memorandum to …

Following up on the U.S.-led Security Council session on preventing sexual violence in conflict, the United Nations has appointed Margot Wallstrom as the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict. This is a newly created position to lead, coordinate, and advocate for efforts to end conflict-related sexual violence against women and children and bring more attention and action on this critical issue. Ms. Wallstrom brings important experience to this job and has been a long time advocate for women's rights. She said about her appointment, "The challenge is enormous. I intend to bring all of my energy and political experience to bear on it. This is an issue which I regard as one of the most important and yet one of the most overlooked and ignored in modern conflicts. Violence against women is the most common but least punished crime in the world. In recent years, it has been sickening to see sexual violence become a tool of modern warfare. In far too many parts of the world, women are excluded from the decision-making process and from conflict resolution and peacekeeping. This absolutely has to change and I am determined to play my part in making that change happen."
The Obama Administration is committed to strengthening international action to stop the atrocious targeting of women and girls in conflict. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, an average of 36 women and girls are raped every day. Many of those surviving such vicious attacks - which often involve mutilation - are children, mostly girls. We must do more. This appointment of the new Special Representative is a further step in the right direction, and we commend Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for it. We welcome Ms. Wallstrom to her role and look forward to working with her and her team to protect women and children from sexual violence.

Illinois has much to prove on both sides of ball
BY HERB GOULD email@example.com September 14, 2012 8:22PM
Reilly O'Toole (4), getting sacked by Arizona State safety Chris Young last Saturday, will start again for Illinois. | Matt York~AP
The facts: 11 a.m., BTN, 560-AM.
Updated: October 16, 2012 6:13AM
It's not clear who has more to prove after that bumpy 45-14 loss at Arizona State — Illinois' defense or offense.
Both units are determined to prove their performance in the desert was a mirage Saturday against Charleston Southern.
''The whole thing is, you want to get back on the horse,'' said co-offensive coordinator Chris Beatty, invoking the standard back-to-work order. ''It's 24 hours when you win, and 24 hours when you lose. You know what you have to correct, and you move on to the next opponent. That's part of coaching, That's part of life.''
Eliminating the three turnovers that spelled disaster for the offense will be a big point of emphasis.
Quarterback Reilly O'Toole will make his second consecutive start, a team spokesman said Friday. Third-year starter Nate Scheelhaase (sprained left ankle) will not play, another source said.
A second backup, Miles Osei, also could see playing time against the Bucs, an FBS school facing a Big Ten opponent for the first time.
''The three turnovers is what you think about,'' coach Tim Beckman said. ''Those are definitely things we can't do and be successful.''
The offense was expected to be a work in progress, and the absence of Scheelhaase meant a scaled-down playbook against the Sun Devils.
The poor play on defense, which is expected to do big things this fall, is the bigger surprise.
Cutting through a unit that supposedly features several NFL prospects like the proverbial hot knife through butter, Arizona State led 28-7 at the half and easily could have had another touchdown or two.
''We still feel like we're a top defense in this country,'' end Michael Buchanan said. ''We just didn't play like it for one week. We want to show the world again that we are a top defense, that we do have a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball.''
Charleston Southern runs the option, which means the Illini will be focused on playing assignment football. They also will be focused on tackling better than they did against the Sun Devils.
Beyond beating the Bucs, the Illini hope to regain their swagger for the next two weeks, when Louisiana Tech and Penn State come to Champaign.

Miracle Story 22: Visualizing without Expectation
This story was sent in by Geoff Parsons, geoff (at) tparsons.co.uk. It is a nice little story that demonstrates the art of "visualizing without expectation". Thanks to Geoff for serving as an inspiration to us all.
"This isn't a big one, although,
everything, no matter how small is infinitely amazing. :)
I was commenting on Facebook on a friend's post and noticed a girl
commenting, so I looked at her page and felt she was someone I might know,
perhaps a soul friend, plus her birthday is near mine.
I relaxed, imagined that I was looking at a friend request from her,
pictured the little "confirm ignore" box and felt myself smiling. I then let
go and got on with the rest of my evening.
The next morning, less than 18 hours later I popped on Facebook and I saw
the "confirm ignore" box from her. :-)
I didn't speak to her, or engage her in ANY way, not even in the comments
section of the mutual friend. I had basically *zero* contact with her.
I think it's really awesome, because it shows just how quickly we can
manifest that which we imagine if we can REALLY let go and remove all
expectation. The only thing stopping us from manifesting "big" things is our
intense expectation and resistances".

Manatee Schools release forensic audit supporting documents
Date: February 4, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
The Manatee County School District posted all documents related to the forensic audit of the school district's $3.4 budget deficit Feb. 1.
More than 16,000 pages of documents are accessible via the school district's homepage under the "Hot Topics" section at the top right of the homepage.
Click here to view the documents posted
The document files were released in the exact format received from Navigant, the audit firm that led the investigation, and Trenam Kemker, a law firm.
The district spent much of the Feb. 1 trying to find the best way to make the documents available, deciding to create two large files that can be downloaded off the district website.
The district said it will better organize and index the documents this week.
They were released almost three weeks after Navigant employees explained their 200-page-plus report to the public and school board.
That report blamed former Assistant Superintendent Jim Drake and flawed processes for many of the accounting errors that led to the budget shortfall.
Former superintendent Tim McGonegal, who resigned in September, was hands-off with budget, handing off most of the responsibility to Drake, the report said.
The school district also announced Feb. 1 that the district's bond ratings have been reduced because of the budget deficit.
As a result, the district will likely have to pay higher interest rates on its debt.

Glenn Beck is Afraid of Dimes
Glenn Beck didn't even come up with this himself, but did you know that our country's pockets are full of fascism?! Turns out, the 1916 Mercury Dimes we're all innocently spending prove that our country has been marching towards fascism ever since notorious fascist Woodrow Wilson was turning us all into fascists.

Dernière mise à jour : 21 févr. 2014 16:06:19
Since its founding in 1968, MCC has been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements by addressing important issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and other forms of oppression. MCC has been on the forefront in the struggle towards marriage equality in the US and other countries worldwide and continues to be a powerful voice in the LGBT equality movement.
Metropolitan Community Churches, with churches and ministries in over 40 countries, are on a bold mission to transform hearts, lives & history. We are a movement that faithfully proclaims God's inclusive love for all people & proudly bears witness to the holy integration of spirituality & sexuality. Just as Jesus did, we are called to:
Do justice, show kindness, and live humbly with God. (Micah 6:8)
Explore life's questions with open hearts and minds.
Raise our voices in sacred defiance against religious (and political or systemic) exclusion.
Reach out to those with no hope.
Lift up new generations of remarkable, far-reaching spiritual activists.
MCC has staked its claim. As one of the world's emerging churches, we are proclaiming a spirituality that is liberating and sufficiently profound to address the issues of our chaotic and complicated world. We live out our belief that in the margins we are blessed and we are offering multiple ways for people to access our message of liberation and inclusion. Through church planting, church revitalization, alliances, the internet, and our work in acts of compassion and justice, we will expand our reach substantially over the next few years. MCC will become a name known to an increasing number of people as a place where all are welcomed and our service to those who are excluded is a primary focus of our ministry. We will be leaders in the world about the union of spirituality and sexuality by articulating our message and spreading it effectively.

Archive for the 'wrist and hand' Category
WRIST – ligaments
Intrinsic Ligaments
= scapholunate ligament
- three portions: volar (trapezoidal), middle (triangular), and dorsal (band — strongest)
- volar and esp dorsal most important for wrist stability
- stretched or torn
- mri 90% accurate:
— discontinuity, absence, irregularity, thinning with hi T2
— increased intercarpal space, sometimes
— elongation (stretching) of undisrupted ligament
- SL abnls may lead to
— rotatory subluxation of scaphoid
— DISI (dorsal intercalated segmental instability) — lunate tilting in dorsal direction ; scaphoid tilting in volar direction
— SLAC wrist (scapholunate advanced collapse)
= lunotriquetral ligament
- smaller than SL ligament, but has similar shape and frequently with hetero lo signal on coronal GRE
- may attach to hyaline articular cartilage or cortical bone
- tears may lead to VISI (volar intercalated segmental instability) — lunate tilting in volar direction.
- strong assoc between triangular fibrocartilage and LT tears
Extrinsic Ligaments
= extrinsic volar ligaments
- radioscaphocapitate – radial styloid -> scaphoid waist -> capitate
- radiolunotriquetral – ulnar side of radial styloid -> lunate -> triquetrium
= extrinsic dorsal ligaments
- radioscaphoid
- radiolunate
- radiotriquetral
Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex
- made up of several soft tissue structures on ulnar side of wrist
— volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments
— meniscus homologue
— ulnar collateral ligament (UCL)
— sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon
- functions include cushioning forces across the ulnar side of the wrist during axial loading
- stabilizing the ulnar size of the wrist and distal radioulnar joint
= normal triangular fibrocartilage (TFC)
- fibrocartilagenous biconcave disc with asymmetric bow-tie
- positioned in the ulnocarpal space with attachments on the medial side to the ulnar styloid process by two thin bands of TFC tissue, and laterally to the side of the radius
- thickness of TFC inversely proportional to degree of ulnar variance (thinner with + ulnar var ; thicker with – ulnar var)
- should have diffusely low signal (intermediate signal if asymptomatic myxoid degeneration)
= abnormal TFC
- any structure of the TFCC can be abnormal, but the TFC is the main component to show abnls
- TFC evaluated similar to meniscus in knee — high signal extending thru either prox or distal surface of TFC indicates a tear
- tears may be partial or full thickness
- fluid in the radioulnar joint is NORMAL for most individuals
- peripheral 20% of TFC on the ulnar margin is well vascularized and tears may heal with nonoperative therapy
- the remainder of the TFC is essentially avascular, and perforations or tears in the central and radial portions of the TFC usually are debrided
- many people have high signal within the substance of the TFC as well as perforations, but have no sxs; the intrasubstance signal likely 2′ myxoid degeneration
- TFC may be traumatically detached from its ulnar attachment and may even become interposed between the radius and ulna, preventing proper reduction of the DRUJ.
- TFC tears associated with disruption of ECU tendon sheath, tears of lunotriquetral ligament
Radioulnar Ligaments
- volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments originate on the volar and dorsal cortex of the sigmoid notch of the distal radius
- pass on the volar and dorsal surfaces of the TFC and blend with it
- attach to the ulnar styloid process medially, and to the distal radius laterally
- distinguished from the TFC proper because they have flat superior and inferior margins, rather than being biconcave, and only attach directly to bone, rather than to cartilage on the radius.
- disruption of volar or dorsal RU ligaments associated with instability of the DRUJ (distal radioulnar joint)
- DRUJ instability dx'd when the ulna does not articulate properly with the sigmoid notch of the distal radius, and is displaced in either a dorsal or volar direction from this notch.
Meniscus Homologue
- thickening of the ulnar side of the joint capsule — inconsistently present
- located distal to the prestyloid recess and attaches to the triquetrium
- prestyloid recess is a triangular-shaped space bordered by the meniscus homologue distally, the TFCC atachments to the ulnar styloid process proximally, and the central TFC disc radially.
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Sheath
- ECU tendon and sheath (component of TFCC) best seen on axial images
- sheath not seen unless fluid is in it
- ECU tendon located in the groove on the dorsum of ulna
- trauma of ECU tendon sheath -> subluxation or dislocation of the ECU tendon at the level of the distal ulna in a MEDIAL direction; associated tenosynovitis is common
Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) of Wrist
- UCL is add'l support structure comprising the TFCC that may be seen on coronal images
- represents a thickening of the wrist joint capsule and provides little mechanical strength
- extends from the ulnar styloid process to the triquetrum
- similar structure exists on the lateral side, the radial collateral ligament, which extends from the radial styloid process to the scaphoid
WRIST – de quervain syndrome
Entrapment / irritation of tendons, first dorsal compartment
- abductor pollicis longus
- extensor pollicis brevis
Associated with
- overuse (manual laborers)
- pregnancy
- tendons may have normal size and signal, be thickened, or may have intratendinous signal
- abnl signal around tendons is common: lo T1, lo (fibrosis) / hi (tenosynovitis) T2
wrist – carpal tunnel syndrome
MRI features
- swollen median nerve (larger at level of pisiform than at DRUJ)
- flattened (at level of hamate hook), faceted, angled medial nerve
- hi T2
- flexor retinaculum (bowing ratio > 15%
Postop appearance, carpal tunnel release
- flexor retinaculum (absent or incised free ends displaced volarly)
- flexor tendons volarly displaced

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.

Film Review: James Brown Bio 'Get On Up' Stuck in a FunkSubmitted by PatrickMcD on August 1, 2014 - 3:25pm
CHICAGO – "Get On Up" contains one dynamite performance trapped in a frustratingly mediocre movie. James Brown's life and music offer a wealth of material to work with, that doesn't necessarily adhere to the conventions of a formulaic musical biopic.

Film Review: 'Draft Day' is Daft, Except as an NFL InfomercialSubmitted by PatrickMcD on April 11, 2014 - 3:41pm
CHICAGO – Kevin Costner has defined a career in sports themed movies. From the Iowa farmer building a baseball diamond in "Field of Dreams," to "Bull Durham," to "For the Love of the Game," he exemplified game day heroics. Yet being an NFL executive in "Draft Day" isn't quite as exciting.
Blu-ray Review: Emotional '42' Has Power But Lacks DepthSubmitted by BrianTT on July 15, 2013 - 5:22pm
CHICAGO – "World's not so simple any more. Guess it never was." I wish "42" wasn't so simple either. Because the story of the amazing accomplishments of Jackie Robinson sure were anything but simple. He was not only chosen to be the man who would break the color barrier but he was asked to do so peacefully, never displaying the anger that 99 out of 100 men would in the same situation.
Film Review: '42' Celebrates Jackie Robinson, the Promise of AmericaSubmitted by PatrickMcD on April 12, 2013 - 2:28pm
CHICAGO – It took baseball, that noble sport, to recognize in 1947 what the universe had dictated since day one – all persons are equal and all deserve an equal chance. Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to break the "color line" in baseball, and the story of that achievement is magnificently told in "42."

CHICAGO – Written by the man who gave the world Keyser Soze in his Oscar-winning script for "The Usual Suspects," NBC's "Persons Unknown" is a summer mystery mini-series not unlike last year's "Harper's Island" or a mini-"Lost" in that the team behind it want people talking about the questions of the show over summer barbecues.

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) means the universal life force energy that resides within and around all living things. A Reiki treatment is a gentle, non-invasive yet powerful healing technique that effects the whole person by enhancing the natural power of the body and mind to move toward greater balance and harmony.
Reiki level I teaches the student the basics of this healing practice. The focus is on daily self-practice so you can bring balance into your life. In this practical training students learn the history of Reiki, its applications and how to give hands on treatments to themselves and others. Reiki energy is activated by receiving attunements. Most students find the first degree Reiki practice to be complete and it is all they need. No prior experience is required. Reiki treatments and practice is beneficial to people of all ages and backgrounds.

UAW votes on union at Volkswagen plant
The United Automobile Workers will vote starting Wednesday to determine whether or not the U.S. plant that makes Volkswagen vehicles in Chattanooga gets union representation.
The German automakers want a European-style works council, which is an employee advisory team. But U.S. labor law requires unionization to consider the council.
Volkswagen is the first transplant automaker not to fight the UAW vote. More than half of the workers have already signed saying they want the UAW.
A full-court press was laid down by local government on Monday. There has been a push telling UAW and Volkswagen that this concept is not welcome. The belief is they will not get any future tax breaks to expand the plant if they decide to go with UAW.
The pressure has not been allowed in the plant. It's strictly being covered by the UAW vote.

3D expert highlights GigTank 2014
Terry Wohlers, one of the world's leading experts on the 3D printing and additive manufacturing industry, will be the keynote speaker at The Company Lab's annual GigTank Demo Day on July 29 when businesses pitch their proposals to investors.
Wohlers' appearance will be the second installment of the Chattanooga Spirit Series, a new string of speaking engagements that feature national voices on topics that highlight emerging innovation opportunities in the Chattanooga area.
The 3D industry nearly tripled in size over the past four years, and Wohlers says "we have only skimmed the surface of what's possible." Interested people wanting to hear Wohlers' speech can register at www.thegigcity.com/gigtank/demo-day/.

AMD Gives BAPCo the Bird, Chirps About Unfair SYSMark 2012 Benchmark
"SM2012 doesn't represent the evolution of computer processing and how that evolution is influencing average users' experience," AMD's Nigel Dessau wrote in a blog post. "SM2012 focuses only on the serial processing performance of the CPU, and virtually ignores the parallel processing performance of the GPU. In particular, SM2012 scores do not take into account GPU-accelerated applications that are widely used in today's business environments."
AMD has long been a member of BAPCo, an organization whose goal is to create meaningful benchmarks in an applications environment. But it's a goal AMD felt BAPCo was failing, in particular with SYSmark, and the chip maker says it tried in vain to get the next-generation SM2012 benchmark right. What's more, BAPCo's failure to turn SYSmark into what AMD feels would be a meaningful benchmark could cost the industry billions of dollars, AMD claims.
"The heart of our complaint is this: the SYSmark benchmark is not only comprised of unrepresentative workloads (workloads that ignore the importance of heterogeneous computing and, frankly, favor our competitor's designs), but it actually generates misleading results that can lead to very poor purchasing decisions, causing governments worldwide to historically overspend somewhere in the area of approximately $8B!," Dessau estimates.
As bold a move as this is for AMD, the chip maker might not be the only one turning its nose up at SM2012 and resigning from BAPCo. Semi Accurate reports that Nvidia and VIA are pulling out too, though neither company is speaking out like AMD has chosen to do. Remaining members include ARCIntuition, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung, Seagate, Sony, Toshiba and others.
AMD brings up an interesting discussion point in terms of benchmarking, one we'd like our readers to chime in on. The question is this: Do you think the computing paradigm is shifting towards GPU performance, and if so, should benchmarks like SYSmark put a bigger focus on GPU performance, or do you think it's still too early in the game for that?
I think SYSmark could address these concerns by marketing different benchmarks that test either CPU performance, GPU performance, or both. Also while GPU performance is becoming more important I thought the CPU was still the deal breaker for heavy duty computing like rendering and re-encoding.
I absolutely agree with AMD on this. This is all part of the Fusion APU.
GPU is more important today than ever, hence Intel merging the CPU with the GPU and others following suit.
AMD feels these benchmarks are skewed and IMO they are correct.
I kinda feel like the GPU is important in terms of everyday experience, but not necessarily heavy duty computations. Certainly thats changing with microsofts C++ initiative and what ive read about AMD's next gen GPU. So i guess what im getting at is that the change should be more incremental as the GPU is slowly integrated into heavier computing duties.
The GPU is rapidly becoming part of what is traditionally referred to as a CPU. I get the impression that sysmark is falling behind if they don't include some type of integrated GPGPU benchmark with their CPU benchmark suite. Intel and AMD are both pushing for the technology to move forward in regards to the integrated GPU on Die or APU as AMD puts it. Not to mention that the latest models already have integrated GPUs on the die.
Especially after Microsoft just made that huge announcement about C++ working off of any directX GPU. I for one am really looking forward to running multithreaded applications much faster and more efficently than ever and that sysmark should be preparing for the near future
I am with AMD on this one as well, and was just thinking of the remarks from the latest HH vidcast something like "We are a just a generation away from some really amazing things " having the gpu on die is certainly one of these.I think that it really shifting towards more gpu intensive because for me it's what is most noticeable with the computing experience these days.
I don't really know enough of the technical details to comment on this, except where it concerns my own experiences.
An Example:
I bought a (cheap,.....and I mean really, really cheap) N68 Chipset based Motherboard and a Phenom-II 3.0 GHz. dual core CPU. It has DDR2-800 RAM (2GB) in it and its performance lends credence to the old saying, 'you get what you pay for'.
It works, and it works reliably, but it's nothing special as far as its performance goes.
Then I noticed that I had a XFX Radeon HD6870 Black Edition GPU sitting on the shelf, doing nothing at all.
In the box,.....collecting dust.
I wondered what difference it would make in this little Phenom system, and installed it right away.
Holy Crap!
It was like Popeye and his can of Spinach! All of a sudden that little 'puter was a gaming machine. Maybe not the same as my two i7-870's are, but it's hooked to a 27" ASUS Screen and I just left it there. I have been using it off and on ever since. Yeah, I left it connected, and I still use it.
So I can see a modicum of truth in AMD's statements. The GPU lends a lot to a system these days. Any benchmark that ignores that is selling us short by not telling the whole picture. Of course, the same goes for my GTX-570 & GTX-560Ti cards too.
As for me, I've realized that I can buy an AMD GPU and know beforehand that it will be capable of all the performance I'm willing to pay for. Since they're the underdog, I try to steer as much business their way as I can.
No matter what, I'll support them when I can.
The one thing I really see in our very near if not current future is the rate of speed the computer market is changing. The reason I say this is because if you think about 5 years ago, and the machine a general consumer would have compared to anything on this APU platform AMD or Intel is throwing out is significantly beyond everything in the general market in that short time span.
On top of that you look at the planned development paths and realize in less than a year anyone who buys a PC will have this hardware capability readily available at a decent price it will all speed up even further. One thing I have mentioned quite a few times about the future as I see it with general users having a home server, and many other devices around that as a home network for every member of any house, and for everything be it social, shopping, movies, television, cell phones etc etc, will be here in a very short amount of time.
Heck we will have quad core smart phones and slates in 6 months or less roughly. throw one of these in a slate and you have a quad core with a mid high Radeon 6000 video core and I think it was 48 GPU cores as well. That is in a 10"-7" gadget that costs 600 bucks or less, and 2-4 Gb of memory if not more that a 3 year old could carry rather easily.
Oh and as far as Sysmark and or pretty much any benchmark, they all seem to have some primary compatibility specializations. I am sure Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and any other hardware manufacturer on the larger side of things pays all of these major benchmark software building companies nice amounts of money quarterly.
I agree with AMD skewed tests are not valid. SYSmark should be able to have a CPU, CPU/GPU, and GPU benchmarks in order to truly show the differences in processors. Glad to see them standing up for themselves on this front to some degree.
I agree with AMD, provided they did actually put the amount of effort into getting Sysmark to change that they said they have (and why wouldn't they have, they need good benchmarks too.) I wonder if there's any chance they could come up with their own benchmarking software? Might not work though, they could too easily optimize it for their own hardware and be called biased I guess.
Intel combined CPU and GPU earlier than AMD, but they not complaining sysmark for the score they have. As far as i know, Intel GPU is not something you can't be proud of. But they have a good score in sysmark. AMD has faster onboard GPU and we already know about that. AMD doesnt need Sysmark to proclaim that AMD has better GPU onboard, that is very childish i think. Sysmark only bench CPU, so if AMD want a good score on software bench based on their onboard GPU;s ... find other software house that can make it happen. Walk away from Bapco clearly ensure their defeat agains Intel CPU's and pretend to be not. that's my oppinion on this situation. Like my old man said : Loser always complain.

Windows 7 not keeping cookies
Got a brand new laptop with W7 installed, and I'm getting very frustrated. I use Firefox and for some reason it is not keeping my cookies installed. It will simply not save any website login information. I live alone, I do not take my laptop to work or in public. It is set as a home and secured network.
It will not keep any security cookies intact, whether for emails, for banking, Facebook login, anything. It's driving me insane! Any suggestions if there is some setting I'm missing??
|My System Specs

Windows 7 x64 pro/ Windows 7 x86 Pro/ XP SP3 x86
Try the following steps:
1) In FF, delete all cookies (Tools-Options-Privacy-Cookies).
2) Make sure that cookies are being accepted and are not deleted when Firefox closes. Go to Tools > Options > Privacy, in that dialog make sure that cookies are being accepted, then in the private data section make sure that Firefox is not set to delete cookies when Firefox closes. Also click on the Exceptions button in the cookies section to make sure cookies from those sites are not being blocked.
3) The file that stores cookies may be corrupt. Navigate to the Profile folder, then rename cookies.sqlite to cookies.tmp. Restart FF.
4) Make sure your security software is not blocking cookies or cleaning them on FF exit.
5) Do you use CCleaner? That may be deleting the cookies, you'll need to set exceptions for the particular cookies you want to keep.
|My System Specs

Yes, FF is set to accept, of course. At first, I had it set to clear my browsing history when FF closed, but I have cleared that. I have found the Exceptions button, and nothing was blocked. I have had to enter the URLs of my most common login sites, and entered them all to Allow specifically.
I don't think i'm using CCleaner, it doesn't sound familiar. Crossing fingers that this all works now.

I had a small problem due to my own fault, but it was quickly sorted via the helpdesk.
All in all a great extension, and well worth the few dollars it costs.

For a free component this fulfils everything we require.
Complete back up of a site, including installer.
I had a problem with one of the sites, checked the forum, the answer was already there after a quick search. Installed the latest version and it works perfectly.
It is worth a donation to the developers, again a great component.
Does exactly what it say's on the tin !

"I was shocked," Daly said, noting that he thought he may have lost only $20-25 million. He chalked it up to "stupidity." Daly wrote about his gambling losses in his autobiography last decade, but he spoke about it again during an appearance on In Depth with Graham Bensinger that aired on Wednesday. Daly said when he calculated his tax returns and receipts, his losses amounted to "$50-57 million" from 1991 to 2007. He said he "had a lot of fun doing it," was not going to say he had any regrets and has moved on. Daly said he just loved "the action" and "the adrenaline" and said he would play slot machines with $5,000 coins. He said he played slot machines for two straight days. He liked Blackjack too, and Daly said he would sometimes be up $5 million before ending up losing $2 million on some nights because he could not stop gambling.
