Crystal Ball: DVICE editors' 2009 wish list
It's 2009, a new year dawning with promise and possibilities, or with foreboding and ominous signs of economic collapse, depending on your point of view. But we here at DVICE are optimistic about the techno-future.
What technology would each of your humble DVICE narrators like to see in this fresh new year? We all got together to focus our vision into the future, and we invite you to join us for our look forward, revealing our hopes and dreams for the 12 months ahead.
Then, let us know in the comments section about what tech and gadgetry you'd like to see in the coming year. Go ahead, go out on a limb like we did, and we'll all take a look at what we wished for at the end of 2009, resulting in either raucous laughter or smug gloating, according to the accuracy of our prognostications:
Adam Frucci: With the addition of Netflix streaming support this year, the Xbox 360 took a big step towards being the center of my home theater experience. The next logical step will be to add support for Hulu streams, allowing users to watch hundreds of new shows and movies for free. It makes perfect sense, both for Hulu and for Microsoft, and it would give the Xbox 360 even more of an advantage over the Playstation 3, if that's even possible.
Kevin Hall: One technology I'd really like to see come into its own is high-bandwidth streaming media (movies, music, games, etc). Services such as Netflix have really helped the platform gain a strong foothold in 2008, but I think that after its inevitable saturation we'll see streaming everything in high quality at a low cost -- and it'll radically change the amount of content and information available to everyone. That's exactly what the Internet did.
Pete Pachal: I would love for 2009 to be the year of color E Ink. One of the things holding back e-readers like the Kindle and the Sony Reader (apart from being focused on the wrong market) is their black-and-white screens. Adding color would be a huge step toward truly replicating the experience of reading a magazine. There would also be another big product that would benefit from color E Ink: digital picture frames. Since E Ink doesn't emit light, digital frames that use it wouldn't shine brightly from across the room, making them a lot less tacky.
Adario Strange: I had this idea about 5 years ago while outlining the plot of a screenplay. We start with a square room, roughly the size of an indoor racquetball court, with a pressure-sensitive grid embedded in the floor. Each square in this floor grid can emit a particular sound sample and light flash when touched by sensors strategically situated along a unitard worn by a dancer. The unitard and the floor grid could be programmed to conform to a set of parameters designed to produce a specific sound composition and light sequence if the wearer properly distributes his body along the floor grid in the correct dance pattern. Thus, one could conceivably play "The Star Spangled Banner" while producing a red, white and blue kaleidoscope pattern.
The unitard could also be programmed to generate sounds only along the chromatic sound scale and colors only along the RGB spectrum, allowing the wearer to improvise fantastic new compositions of light and sound. The idea was that solo breakdancers/martial artists would compete in performances on this grid as spectators viewed the battles from an enclosed observation deck above the floor. This "Danger Room" is possible today via a combination of projects like the USB controlled Disco Dance Floor by a group of enterprising MIT students and the Dance-On Piano from FAO Schwarz. And it might have the odd effect of turning athletes into musicians/artists and artists/musicians into athletes and eventually having us all wonder aloud if the creator of the latest pop music hit was on performance-enhancing steroids.
Michael Trei: I'd like to see a self-configuring home theater system. Sure, we've been getting closer with things like auto speaker setup, but home theater rigs should be much easier to set up and optimize. Give me one that my Mom can connect, converts all signals to HDMI, automatically chooses the best surround mode — and always gets the video aspect ratio right — and I'll be happy.
Charlie White: My idea of gadget Utopia is to have wireless broadband everywhere. I'm hoping that 2009 will be a big year for WiMAX, bringing us closer to the day where any device can connect to the Net with speeds faster than most home wired broadband connections are today. As part of the upcoming economic stimulus initiative, the U.S. government should engage in a massive public works project similar to the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the '50s and '60s, except this time, build a huge wireless broadband system. Yeah, they could accurately call it the Information Superhighway. Finally.
Stewart Wolpin: I want TV on my iPhone. Slingbox just released a BlackBerry app, but for some reason the Slingbox iPhone app has been delayed and delayed. But if I can't watch MY TV on my iPhone, I'll settle for local DTV broadcasts. The ATSC just approved the mobile DTV standard, which will bring digital bullet-proof local broadcasts to any device equipped with a dongle or a tuner chip, but the first real toys (hopefully an iPhone dongle) won't be out for around a year. Damn it, I can't wait that long!

no wall mount attached. . . . .
I am the type of person to hem and haw over a purchase, but I saw this and came back in the day to look at it 4 times and decided I just had to purchase it. I couldn't wait to receive it. A friend of mine took me to her favorite Fair Trades store and I saw this up high and was like I ordered that and loved that I loved seeing it in person. When I came home the box was on my porch. I tore into it and it was perfect, but when I went to hang it up there wasn't any hangers on the back. I haven't hung it up. It is on top of a bookshelf leaning against the wall. It looks beautiful especially against the artwork I have from Haiti, but I am trying to decide to have nails showing or keep it leaning.
I just purchased this and hung it in my home and have gotten comments about it already. It's lovely - nice and bright. The edges aren't too rough and it's quite straight for having been made from a 55-gallon drum. I love it!

Introduction: The accurate control of the air/fuel ratio in automotive gasoline engines is vital for satisfying the ever more stringent emission regulations. The most common pollution abatement system for SI port-injection engines is the three-way catalytic converter, TWC. It derives its name from its ability to simultaneously reduce NOx and oxidize CO and HC. State-of-the-art systems are capable of removing more than 98% of the pollutants. However, this can only be achieved by operating the engine within very narrow air/fuel ratio limits. To obtain the desired air/fuel ratio, the engine management system has to compensate all the disturbances caused by the dynamic systems that are involved.
The fuel control system comprises both a feedforward and a feedback controller, where the former calculates the necessary amount of fuel to be injected based on the information about the actual operating point of the engine. The feedback controller adjusts the amount of fuel calculated on the basis of measurements by an air/fuel-ratio sensor and thus compensates for any disturbances which are not considered by the feedforward controller.
The fuel path dynamics of an engine are not only a function of the operating points but they also vary due to the ageing of its components. Hence the increasing demands on the performance of the air/fuel ratio controller no longer can be met by one globally robust controller. More sophisticated adaptive control algorithms will thus be required.
During its lifetime the air/fuel ratio sensor undergoes an ageing process which results in a substantial change of its dynamics. To some extent, a robust controller can mitigate this change. However, the trade-off between robustness and performance may be in conflict with the increasing demands on the effectiveness of the control system. Figure 1 shows a new control system with the ability to identify changes in the sensor dynamics and adapt its parameters. It supersedes the need for global robustness and circumvents the mentioned trade-off.
In a first step a (non-adaptive) robust control law has been developed. Figure 2 shows a Nyquist diagram of the open control loop.
The circles indicate a bound for the distribution of the Nyquist curves due to the uncertainty of the plant parameters. Due to the variation of the engine's load and rotational speed, the dynamics of the fuel path experience considerable changes. Since load and rotational speed can be measured easily, the controller parameters are gain-scheduled. The resulting controller has been tested on an engine test bench. Figure 3 shows a comparison of measurement and simulation results of the response of the control system to input disturbances.
In a further step the ageing processes of the sensor need to be analyzed. Based on this knowledge an adaptive controller is to be designed.
In order to determine the variations of the sensor dynamics during its lifecycle different scenarios need to be looked at. One scenario may be the "regular" ageing of the sensor as a slow and steady process, whereas another scenario may cover sudden changes due to abnormal events during operation. Based on the scenarios considered possible, a suitable model of the sensor which is capable of describing the most important implications of all possible sensor variations is to be developed.
The adaptation block of the controller basically consists of two components, one being responsible for the tracking of the changes in the sensor dynamics and the other being accountable for a suitable adaptation of the control law. However, it is of crucial importance that the resulting adaptive controller still offers robustness margins for disturbances other than changes of the sensor dynamics. Since the controller also contains gain-scheduled parameters for the various operating points of the engine, the adaptation mechanism must not be affected by these changes.

Going into this fight, Tito is going to be pretty horrendously banged up, yeah, Tito'll have an excuse, but he's been putting off a couple of surgeries and is just broken down at this juncture of his career with his neck and back surgeries and fusions etc. I genuinely wonder if he'll even make it to the fight without dropping out due to injury.
I'll be quite surprised if they both stay healthy to make it to the PPV, wonder who they'd have as a replacement, Mo or maybe Frank?
This fight has actually got me curious. Not a bad way to get viewers.
I thought the setup of bringing Tito out was great. Having said that;
1) They should have kept Jackson's lines very short
2) The should have let Tito use the teleprompter (Neither guy can talk trash without sounding goofy)
3) Both are past their prime which makes this fight not so great
Put Jackson in against *their top guys and it would be a better fight, e.g. Mo, Emanuel. He's lost a lot but still can decently box with power and take some punishment. If Tito can move as he did against Bader then he may put in a few good fights. But I just don't see these two guys putting on a show together. I think they need a hungry fighter who's looking to make a mark at the expense of a vet's name.

Chicago Police Sgt. Edward Howard Jr. enters court Thursday for his trial on charges of aggravated battery in July. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: December 11, 2012 6:12AM
A Chicago Police sergeant convicted of hitting a handcuffed man outside a South Side restaurant in 2010 will not have to serve jail time.
Edward Howard Jr., 48, was convicted of aggravated battery and official misconduct in July after a bench trial before Cook County Judge James Clayton Crane.
On Friday, Crane sentenced Howard to 18 months of probation, according to Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin. He had faced up to five years in prison. Prosecutors had asked for jail time.
Howard struck a handcuffed 19-year-old man across the face three times about 10:15 p.m. on Oct. 11, 2010, in the parking lot of the Gyros King restaurant at 7904 S. Vincennes, prosecutors said at the trial.
They also presented a videotape from the restaurant and witness statements.
The man and two friends had been arrested for criminal trespassing after walking out of the restaurant, according to prosecutors. He complied with police orders and walked to the squad car and placed his hands on the vehicle.
Officers handcuffed him behind his back and searched him, police said. Howard then struck the man, the last time hard enough to knock him off balance. The man suffered cuts, bruises, a swollen lip, and redness and swelling of the face, according to prosecutors.
He was taken to the Gresham District station and released a few hours later without being charged, according to the state's attorney's office. The incident was initially reported to the Independent Police Review Authority, which contacted the state's attorney's office.
At trial, Howard, a 25-year veteran cop, admitted striking the man, who he said was using profanity and was going to spit on him. He was stripped of his police powers.

Stuff Gaijin Say in Japan (and things they don't)
September 7, 2012 Life in Japan 3 Comments
I found these videos entertaining.
Things Gaijin (foreigners in Japan) say:
I laughed at "This burger tastes different" – but I think it's true. The ketchup tastes different too. I thought I was going a bit crazy but then I've noticed some McDonald's offering ketchup and "American ketchup" at the dispensers. Because of this, I feel less insane.
Things Gaijin never say (I cracked up at "I miss Nova")
And finally stuff American's say (not as funny as the first one, but worth a mention)

The white beard (and hair, but I don't have very much of that).
I've had a number of reactions. (Including, but not limited too, "Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like a much nicer person now. More like Santa Claus." and "Oh! You did a Gandalf!" and lots of plain "I like it.")
The beard is more yellow than I'd like, but less yellow than I feared.
As you can see in the above picture the roots are still their original (or close to) red(ish) colour. I'll wait for a few days or maybe a week (letting my sore skin heal after two bleaches the same evening) and then have another go at it.
I also intend to buy some silver shampoo to counter the yellow tinge. I'd rather end up with greyish-white, than blondish hair.
Oh, by the way, I ended up using "Jane Hellen Mood", "Blond Level 4" for the bleaching/dyeing. The package doesn't specificly say "bleach", but it worked about as good as could be expected. It was much cheaper than most other brands (45 sek, where most where priced around 80 sek in the local supermarket, and 100 to 120 sek in a more expensive make-up store).

Hi. The crew over here at Westview has been watching the Ospreys for the past month and we have named the new chick "Woody" in honor of Woodbridge Ferris. He is cool to watch especially when the dad flies in with a fish to feed him.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 3, 2009 at 5:52 PM
I named the egg it Shelly, but when it hatches I changed its name to Tiny...which will probably change again when it gets bigger!ReplyDelete
I named the adult ospreys Sally and Cooper. I'm not in Big Rapids, and watching the osprey make me feel like I'm still at home. =)
- AnonymousJune 3, 2009 at 7:58 PM
I thought I saw 3 eggs, one hatched, and now I only see one egg left. There should be 2 chicks wandering around.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 5, 2009 at 2:03 PM
Did anyone see what happened to the 2nd bird, we thought we saw it hatch yesterday, but now don't see it.ReplyDelete
Incidently in our office, we named the chick June, because she was born the 1st of June. We just refer to the adults as Mr & Mrs.


text: At approximately 1:30 PM on January 2, 2006, the remaining span of the Bell Ford Covered Bridge collapsed into the river. Bell Ford (also known as Bell's Ford) Covered Bridge crossed the East Fork of White River in Section 12, Township 6 North, and Range 5 East, where it sat beside State Road 258, just west of Seymour, Jackson County. This was the last Post Truss covered bridge standing in the world. Considered a transition between the wood and iron bridges, the Post Truss utilized iron rods in the truss and roadway framing, while the lower chord was constructed of cast iron. As originally built, this double span structure had a length of 325 feet; however, the west half of this bridge was blown down during a storm in February of 1999 and pieces were salvage from the river in hopes that a restoration could be made. Less than 3 days after the collapse of the east half in 2006 (by the 4th) heavy equipment was being moved in to undertake another salvage effort. Much of the preparation work to restore the west half had been completed so it will be interesting to see if Bell Ford will be resurrected from her watery grave. Built by Robert Patterson in 1875, Bell Ford Covered Bridge had a portal clearance 16 feet 6 inches wide by 12 feet 6 inches high. The road bypassed this structure in 1970 and was listed as #14-36-03 in the 1989 World Guide.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

No I have never done that. I only keep the sick one home. There have been many times where the non-sick kid never catches what their sibling had.
I get where the other lady is coming from since they say you are most contagious before any symptoms show up but still I think that's just going overboard by keeping a child who isn't showing any symptoms home "just in case" they are also carrying the virus.
No way. I regularly have one kid who gets sick and the other two don't catch it at all.
I have kept DS1 home because he seemed really tired in the morning and out of sorts, but with no fever or other symptoms. I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but DS2 was sick, so I kept DS1 home from preschool and sure enough, he was sick by the next day. So I definitely err on the side of caution, but I don't keep perfectly healthy kids home.

- 5Jul 24, '13 by CalRNtoBe2013For those of you entering your final semester, I wanted to share an "it's really happening" moment...
My final tuition was due recently. I looked at the break down of charge per credit, lab fees, etc and noticed a $300 NCLEX fee. That's when it hit me. I am one semester away from being a graduate nurse. The combination of excitement and anxiety was overwhelming. We go back in the end of August, take our last final and finish clinical in October, and then precept for 5 weeks. It's crazy how the time flew!
I read some of the posts from people who are eager to start their first semester. Some make me giggle, I relate to others, and some are posted by that student we all remember from the first day of class. You know.... The "she's never going to make it with that attitude" student.
Seeing that little "NCLEX fee" on my bill made me realize that all of the tears, test anxiety, and countless ours of studying have been so worth it. No, they're not over yet, but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
- 2Jul 24, '13 by ziggletkGood for you! Good luck with your last semester/NCLEX/job hunting!!!
- 0Jul 24, '13 by stewartfamily2010Congratulations! That's awesome. I'll be a first semester soon...
- 0Jul 24, '13 by JerseyGirl6I'm going into my 3rd semester then my final after that god willing that is...congrats to you and good luck :-)
- 3Jul 24, '13 by kwrnstudentI know that feeling all too well! I graduate in December and I'm terrified of this semester! I just paid this semesters tuition, and like you I'm looking at the breakdown only instead of being calm and collected, I'm scared to death! Good luck!!! I know we can do it!
- 0Jul 24, '13 by green34I'm heading into my final semester too! Unfortunately, it'll probably be about January or later before I can take the NCLEX. We have 5 weeks of OB, 5 weeks of peds, and 5 weeks of geriatrics with preceptorship for the last 10 weeks. It feels unreal. I am starting to feel anxious about pediatrics as that is what I have first.
A lot of my classmates are no longer with me due to a variety of reasons and that makes me sad. One dropped out because she couldn't pass patho, another dropped psych and will be taking it in the fall due to the uncertainty of passing it (she will be in geriatrics with me for the final 5 weeks), another one did not pass 2nd semester so she is entering her 3rd semester, another one something happened medically in 3rd semester so he is repeating 3rd semester, and another dropped in 2nd semester because she didn't think she would pass and is studying social work.
- 2Jul 24, '13 by megan9107Same for me and I am scared to death! I keep thinking if they let me out they are crazy! Lol. I'm that nervous, but I am also ready to get this thing over with. Good luck to everyone.
- 0Jul 24, '13 by NCstudentnurse715I will be entering my final semester in August as well!! It feels so unreal and exciting! I can't believe that it is almost over! Good luck to everyone!
- 0Jul 24, '13 by BBRANRN2013Congrats to all! I graduate in exactly 2 weeks after 2 1/2 year of pre reqs and 2 1/2 years of nursing school! I'm so excited yet nervous:-)
- 0Jul 24, '13 by DazzlingDivaBSN,RNCongrats to all of you. I will be entering my final semester this Fall 2013 and am excited and nervous about graduation, NCLEX and finally being done with nursing school! It does feel unreal to be so close to being done and graduating, because when I first started taking pre-reqs and finally entered nursing school, I thought it would be a million light years away before I was even close to finishing. I can't believe I'm almost done! Good luck to every one in their final semesters!

Hi Dr Lam,
first off, I am very fond of your work and articulation when explaining it. I am a 26 year old male. The symmetry of my cheeks are fine when rested and expressionless, but when I smile they appear to be asymmetrical and do not look even. My left side seems to dip lower than my right. I am a very healthy weight and have never been over weight. I would love to know what is the best method to give my cheeks balance.
I would love a procedure that would solve this and also solve the hollowness my eyes have when I smile as well. I am not too crazy about the space between my eyes and top of my cheeks. In certain lighting I look so tired, I am prone to having baggy eyelids as well. Maybe there are a combination of things I could do or maybe just one would solve all.
I would just like a youthful symmetrical balance when I smile. I would be willing to eventually come see you face to face for a complete consultation but for now was hoping for your best guess. Thanks Dr. Lam.

Narrow your search
Whether you fancy trendy city cars or crazy customs ripped from a comic book, there are plenty to go
The BitLit app will give you free or cheap e-book editions of the print books you already own. Well, maybe some of them.
The end to a public fight between the publishing industry and the massive e-book distributor could spell relief for authors. It also gives Amazon customers access, finally, to Hachette titles.
Multi-year agreement for sales of physical and electronic books comes amid contentious talks with another book publisher.
There are three similar book subscription services on the market -- which is right for your reading habits?
This e-book subscription gives you unlimited access to more than 500,000 books.
Not happy that iBooks is now a permanent part of iOS? Maybe these eight freebies will help soften the blow.
The book publisher criticizes Amazon's negotiation tactics in their dispute over e-book prices.
In a letter to readers and authors, the e-commerce giants asks people to email Hachette's CEO saying they want lower e-book prices.
US District Court Judge Denise Cote originally took issue with the settlement because Apple could end up only paying $70 million.
The e-commerce company has made the book publisher a public offer: accept $9.99 e-book prices, and Amazon won't ask for more of each sale.

Hands up all those readers who have heard brain-dead meddlers deriding Pattaya because they are offended by the sight of old men sporting young, beautiful women on their arms. Keep your hand up if you also heard these pompous asses ask, "Doesn't he know she is only with him for the money?" Finally, keep your hand up if you would like to strangle the next condescending idiot who tells you that.
Good. You can all put your hands down now.
And it comes to pass that wealthy Australian former doctor, Geoffrey Edelsten, now 68, has just published his autobiography titled Enigma. A photo of Mr Edelsten with his wife, Brynne Gordon-Edelsten aged 28 appears below. In his book, Edelsten, reveals he and Brynne are planning to have a baby. It will be the first child for both.
Now, let's take a moment to consider the photograph and some facts. Firstly, the photo was not taken in Pattaya, nor is Brynne of Asian appearance. Secondly, he is 40 years older than his wife. Thirdly, he is rich. Finally, she is young and gorgeous.
Now, she could be in love with him because he is caring, intelligent, handsome and stimulates her both intellectually and sexually. He could be in love with her because she is tender, loving, a good homemaker and his intellectual soul mate. Of course that is purely my opinion ,and if anyone on the planet actually agrees with it, I will go into shock.
The point is that it might be time for the hypocrites who aim their poison pens and venomous tongues at foreign men in Pattaya to take a look in their own back yards. I could find no negative comments from the Australian press regarding the Edelsten union, and yet, those Grub Street 'journalists' are the first to scorn and ridicule the inmates of Pattaya.
But there's more. On a serious note, in his book, Mr Edelsten claims a "humiliating" event happened to his wife, Brynne, in 2008 at Melbourne International Airport.
"Customs officers ordered socialite Brynne Gordon-Edelsten to strip naked and pose for photographs and video footage when she arrived in Australia to marry flamboyant entrepreneur Geoffrey Edelsten.
"Mr Edelsten alleges he spent four hours at Melbourne International Airport waiting for Brynne, then 25, to be released by Customs after her flight from America. When she finally came through the gates, he writes: 'I asked her what had happened in Customs. She said that a sniffer dog wouldn't leave her alone. This was followed by a formal search and on finding nothing, she was asked to remove all her clothes, including underwear, and was photographed. In the formal note of apology that she received, it stated that the photographs would be destroyed after one year.'"
"They took video and still photographs. Brynne still has the note and the DVD."
"Customs has confirmed it does video-record travellers during strip-searches if they are suspected of carrying prohibited substances, with 48 travellers subjected to the process in 2010-11. The Act says the searches must be conducted by an officer of the same gender as the traveller. Video recordings and photographs of searches are permitted under the Act."
"It is not standard procedure for Customs and Border Protection to photograph travellers naked," a spokeswoman said. "There are particular circumstances, however, in which Customs would undertake an external search of a passenger with the consent of the passenger."
Hmmm. Let me take a wild stab in the dark at what these "particular circumstances" could be. Perhaps: female, young and gorgeous? Is it possible that Aussie drug-sniffing dogs are being secretly trained to pick out such 'suspicious' people and "not leave [them] alone"? Wouldn't it be interesting to compare the profiles of the other 48 passengers "subjected to the process in 2010-11"? I wonder how many of them resemble Brynne more than they do, say, me.
Personally I have never had a problem with the wonderful, diligent, friendly, hard-working, under-appreciated, handsome people in the Australian Customs and Border Protection Services. I have never been strip-searched or sexually fondled to the extent I enjoyed it. They actually make me wear a full Burka over my clothes until I leave the airport terminal. They say it is for public safety reasons.

Wide-angle shooting is possible without sacrificing the brightness of the f2.0 lens. Even in darker underwater scenes, you can shoot wider, more dynamic images that reproduce the beauty of underwater scenery.
* Converter adapter CLA-T01 is required for attaching the FCON-T01 to the TG-1.
Telephotography of 1.7X is available. You can blur the background, drawing attention to the subject, and use higher shutter speeds while zooming in close on the subject.
* Converter adapter CLA-T01 is required for attaching the TCON-T01 to the TG-1.
This Tele-conversion lens features a zoom factor of 1.7x. Because you can shoot without changing the camera's aperture value, shooting is easy even in dark locations, and the bright aperture can be used to beautifully blur the background.

Mother's Day is this Sunday, which means that card you haven't dropped in the mail yet isn't going to make it to your mom in time. There's only one thing you can do to make it up to the woman who carried you for nine months: Record a special single and release it on iTunes as a charity event.
But that's not going to look entirely original, since Justin Bieber already beat you to the punch. He just released "Turn To You," a midtempo ballad that pays homage to his mother by breaking down her narrative, wherein she gets pregnant with Justin, gets her life together, finds Jesus, and later helps to nurture his nascent career.
All proceeds of the single's sales go towards saving the Bethesda Center, an Ontario-based women's shelter in danger of closing that also provided Bieber's mother with assistance while she was pregnant. Give it a spin below. READ FULL STORY

Hi dr. Lam,
at first I have to apologize for my english (i'm from germany). I'm writing to you beacause my case is quite unique: i'm only 23 and developed in the last years quite severe eye bags, eye circles, my tear troughs became much worser, and some sort of hollow eye appearance because of fat loss in the cheek and upper cheek area (just underneath the eyelid). These are all hereditary changes that happened in my father also. Unfortunately I had fraxel restore 8 months ago, that was suggested to me by a dermatologist in order to treat the eye cicles (not the bags)--> he said fraxel restore woult stimulate collagen production and thicken the eyelid skin and would improve in that way the circles. Unfortunately, my fair, sensitive skin didn't reacted well to the laser that left me with (vascular) redness on my eyelids. Where he passed the laser (on my eyelids) now there is redness. It is not a strong redness but it's definetely a redness you notice/ you can see. the redness becomes temporarily very bad when i put hot water on my eyelids , when i do intense sport, when i use certain cosmetical products etc. ( like anything vascular). a cortisone cream i used some weeks after the tratment caused only a temporary worsening of the redness and also other creams didn't made any substantial improvement. i would say that it is definetely a fixed redness that becomes temporarily worser after certain "triggers", but in the long term not improved and not got worser. Maybe the v beam could improve the situation but it's hard to find somebody that uses that laser so close to the eyes. But now to my question : now i have this redness on my eyelids, but still want to fix the other things with a fat graft to the cheek area and a transconjunctival blepharoplasty for the eye bags an tear troughs (probably arcus marginalis release)... is this now still safe and possible?what effect would the transconjunctival bleph on the redness have? my only big fear is , that it could cause a permanent worsening of the redness... is having rosacea or other vascular redness on the skin a controindication for plastic surgery ( fillers, fat graft, face lift etc.)? I know that no doctor will ever be able to tell me how exactly the redness would react to the surgeries, but i would like to know if in general ( based on the experience of other people with similar situations) it is safely possible for me to procede with the fat graft and the bleph. Than you!!

Who Should Apply?
The goal of the Quantitative Bioscience & Biomedical Engineering focus area is to provide students with backgrounds in the Physical, Mathematical, Computational or Engineering Sciences the opportunity to employ their analytical skills and exploit new measurement technologies to construct novel insights into human biology. The focus area will also allow those with Life Science training, newly exposed to role of quantitative technologies, to make a transition towards research that uses these technologies or develops new applications.We acknowledge that undergraduate students are unlikely to have extensive training in both the analytical skills and the biological skills. Thus, we encourage outstanding students in either the quantitative or biological disciplines with a desire to learn the other to apply. Our curriculum has the flexibility to allow students to be extended in some areas, while filling gaps in others.

The CSIT Department keeps a website updated with job announcements for students and alumni. These include both local part-time employment and national full-time employment for after graduation. CSIT Job Website. Please contact the Chair of the CSIT Department, Dr. Sherri Harms, at 308-865-8370 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you are a current CSIT student or a CSIT alumnus and would like an account in this system.
|What makes UNK's Computer Science and Information Technology programs stand out from other programs around the area and what has become my favorite part of the school is how small and personal the programs are. Students get to work side-by-side with experts in their field enabling students to maximize the amount they get to learn. A real friendship is created between students and teachers that fosters a learning environment not possible in bigger programs. Devin, IT System Administration Senior, Odell, NE
|The thing that I like most about the CSIT department is that there are so many wonderful people in it, and that they are very helpful and encouraging. It always amazes me to see all of the great research people do and the cool ways that they use all sorts of different technology. Rachel, CS Sophomore, Kearney, NE
|I like the low faculty to student ratio and individual attention, which have certainly made me grow by making me feel like a member of the team rather than another student in the crowd. Daniel, CS Senior, Freeport, Grand Bahama
|My favorite thing about the CSIT department is the individual attention that I am able to receive from my instructors as class sizes are relatively small compared to other classes that I've taken on campus. I feel like my instructors know me on a personal level and are eager to see me advance my skill sets. Brian, IT Web Development Senior, Kearney, NE
Compared to other colleges and universities, UNK's CSIT program was the most stable and promising. The program overall did not seem intimidating, and though it can get difficult at times (as all courses of study do), the professors are more than willing to encourage and help students. Internship opportunities aided greatly in my decision to study computer science at Kearney, along with smaller class sizes that encourage interaction between professors and fellow students. Ben, CS Sophomore, Columbus, NE
My internship(Xpanxion) has provided me a chance to use my studies in real world applications and get great on the job training. There are internships for development, networking, quality assurance and many other opportunities for students of all interests in CS & IT majors. Taylor, CS Senior, Kearney, NE

An Unlikely Alliance This episode made me cry. Like a baby. I think it's because I found the partnership between Melinda and Casey to be as touching in the end as the actual crossing over. The storyline of having somebody "with a gift" move in on Mel's turf was interesting enough, but then when Jim gave Melinda advice on embracing the "competition" rather than fighting him... well, that made the plot take the high ground, and I was genuinely moved by how their dynamic evolved from that point on through to the end. I think I cried more from how Mel and Casey delivered the "tag-team crossover" in the end than from the actual crossing over... excellent acting between J. Love and Orlando Jones. Orlando! Applause to Orlando Jones for doing an amazing job as Casey the wonder guru. It was very smart for the writers to keep that character from venturing into comedic territory à la Payne. Orlando did a fantastic job playing the part. Something that many people may not know is that good comedy is way harder to pull off (as an actor) than good drama. Usually, if an actor is excellent at comedy, he or she can kick butt on the screen in dramatic roles. Orlando proved this to be true, and I really enjoyed his performance. Twists and Turns Abound I also found this week's ghost story to be very interesting and effective. Once the sister started telling Melinda about the addiction problems, I knew immediately that the death happened accidentally during an intervention. However, until the moment she started telling Mel the story, I honestly had no idea the mystery would turn in that direction. The story went from a potentially predictable jealous-sister storyline into a tragic story about a sister's love and protection. When the ghost said the line about the frog and the princess, I started weeping like a little girl. Nice job, GW writers! Jim's Two Sense Once again, Jim played a very, very important role in the crossing over, and I love that. He's starting to assert himself to Melinda a little more each week, giving her excellent advice that actually means something profound, and helps her with her gift. He's always been supportive and helpful, but it's starting to feel different lately... he isn't just listening and empathizing, he's listening, empathizing and giving a voice to what he feels Mel should know, or what she needs as she's figuring things out. Turns out, when he voices how he feels, he helps Mel on the journey in a big, big way. I like this, and I hope the writers continue in that direction with Jim... I think this whole wanting to be a doctor thing suits him! Our Fair Delia Several of you have commented lately that Delia's been looking particularly beautiful, and I agree! I love it when they make her hair wavy... it gives her a soft look, and her wardrobe has been kicking butt, too! Dare I say, Mel could take a few pointers from her in the wardrobe department at times? I also enjoy that Delia's been a bit more vocal with Melinda, and even though she's a skeptic, she doesn't get all flinchy anymore when Mel needs to talk things out about the ghosts. One of you mentioned last week that the darkness seems to be bringing the key characters closer together, and I agree... it's like... almost losing Melinda made them all stop tiptoeing around her and giving her so much distance, she almost dies every week. I.O.U. OK, I owe you guys a post from two weeks ago, so here it goes. Episode recap: "Weight of What Was" What a Set! My biggest comment on this episode is that I wanted to live... or at least... go camping in that underground set! Oh. My. Goth. Gorgeous, gorgeous set! I thought it was a bit extreme for Melinda to go into the tunnels alone, and found myself shaking my head at how stupid she was for doing that, but... she's Mel, and she does that stuff from time to time. It was very cool to see Jim, Delia and Payne all team up to help her. I'd love to see that happen more often. Mel, Meet... Fred I love it that they cast Amy "Fred" Acker from Angel as Mel's... what was it? Great-great grandmother? Great-great-great grandmother? OK, as Tessa, because "Fred" has always reminded me of Jennifer Love Hewitt back in her Party of Five days... the two actresses even look a little bit alike, so that was excellent casting. All Hallow's Episode The Salem-witch-hunt parallels in Tessa's story, and in Grandview's history, was really cool and very creepy. I found it to be a great episode around Halloween time, without it being an overt "this is our Halloween episode" story. So... I'd heard it mentioned in this week's episode or last that Grandview's on the East Coast... did you all hear that, too? The Family Units Gabriel and Dad. Y'know... when they talked to each other in the end, they insinuated that Gabriel truly is Mel's brother, but... I still feel like things aren't quite what they seem. Am I just in denial? It seems too predictable for Gabriel to be her brother. How did you like his facial hair? What do you think of ol' dad? Evil, or are the writers misleading us? Big mystery there, and I'm sure we'll see more of them sooner rather than later. OK, your turn!!

Central European Distribution Corporation Wins Overwhelming Creditor Approval Of Proposed Restructuring Plan
In the news release, Central European Distribution Corporation Wins Overwhelming Creditor Approval of Proposed Restructuring Plan, issued 07-Apr-2013 by Central European Distribution Corporation over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that in the second paragraph, the company name should read "Alfa Group" rather than "Alfa Bank" as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
Central European Distribution Corporation Wins Overwhelming Creditor Approval of Proposed Restructuring Plan
Plan to be Implemented Through Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization; Company Also Obtains Commitment For New $100 Million Unsecured Facility for Russian Operations; Restructuring Should Have No Impact on Company Business Operations in Poland, Russia, Ukraine or Hungary; Company Will Honor Obligations in those Countries in the Ordinary Course without Interruption
WARSAW, Poland, April 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Central European Distribution Corporation (NASDAQ: CEDC) announced that CEDC and its U.S. subsidiaries, CEDC Finance Corporation International, Inc. and CEDC Finance Corporation LLC, have received overwhelming support from creditors for their proposed restructuring, which will be implemented through a Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. Accordingly, the Company today commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to seek confirmation of the Plan.
Separately, CEDC approved the terms of a new $100 million unsecured credit facility, to be provided by an affiliate of Alfa Group, for the benefit of CEDC's Russian operations. The facility was arranged for CEDC by its strategic partner, Roust Trading Ltd. (RTL), which will pay the origination and other fees involved. CEDC welcomes the opportunity to enhance its relationship with one if its key financial partners – Alfa Group.
The financial restructuring, which will eliminate approximately $665.2 million in debt from CEDC's and CEDC FinCo's balance sheets, does not involve the Company's operating subsidiaries in Poland, Russia, Ukraine or Hungary and should have no impact on their business operations. Operations in these countries are independently funded and will continue to generate revenue during this process. All obligations to employees, vendors, credit support providers and government authorities will be honored in the ordinary course without interruption.Voting on the Plan closed on April 4, 2013. According to the official vote tabulation prepared by CEDC's voting and information agent, impaired creditors have voted overwhelmingly to accept the Plan. In particular, approximately 95% of all Existing 2013 Notes were voted. The Plan was accepted by 99.13% in number and 99.00% in amount of those Existing 2013 Notes that were voted on the Plan. Approximately 95% of all Existing 2016 Notes were voted, and of those, 97.26% in number and 97.34% in amount voted to accept the Plan. The voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings commenced today with a filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, in Wilmington, Delaware. At the initial hearing in the case, which is expected to be on Tuesday, April 9, 2013, the Company will present routine requests to the Court that will allow the Company a seamless transition into Chapter 11. The Company also will request that the Court schedule its final confirmation hearing for the Plan of Reorganization within 30 to 45 days. If confirmed, the restructuring will result in Roust Trading, owned by CEDC Chairman and leading investor Roustam Tariko, owning 100% of the outstanding stock of reorganized CEDC. Holders of Existing 2016 Notes will receive total consideration of $822 million, consisting of $172 million in cash, $450 million in new secured notes and $200 million in new convertible notes, on account of their claims totaling approximately $982.2 million in U.S. dollars. This consideration will afford holders of Existing 2016 Notes an estimated recovery of approximately 83.7%. Holders of Existing 2013 Notes other than Roust Trading who participate in a separate offer by Roust Trading will receive total consideration of $55 million, composed of $25 million in cash and $30 million in Roust Trading Notes, which collectively will afford such holders an estimated recovery of 34.9%. Holders of Existing 2013 Notes that do not participate in Roust Trading's offer will receive their proportionate share of $16.9 million in cash under the Plan (shared with the RTL Notes). Holders of Existing 2013 Notes that participate in Roust Trading's offer will not receive a distribution from CEDC or its U.S. subsidiaries under the Plan. The new $100 million unsecured credit facility will be provided to CEDC subsidiary JSC Russian Alcohol Group ("RAG"). The facility has a one year term that may be extended by agreement of the parties. RAG's obligations under the new facility will be guaranteed by Roust Trading and its affiliate, Russian Standard Corporation. RAG's obligations under the new facility will be subordinate to the Company's obligations under the New Secured Notes and New Convertible Notes to be issued to holders of Existing 2016 Notes under the Plan. CEDC and CEDC FinCo also announced the successful completion of the consent solicitation conducted with respect to the indenture governing the Existing 2016 Notes, as the requisite consents were obtained to approve the Covenant Amendments, the Collateral and Guarantee Amendments and the Bankruptcy Waiver Amendments, each as defined in the Amended and Restated Offering Memorandum, Consent Solicitation Statement and Disclosure Statement dated March 8, 2013. Approximately 95% of the Notes by principal amount voted to approve. CEDC and CEDC FinCo also announced the termination of the CEDC FinCo Exchange Offer for the Existing 2016 Notes. The CEDC FinCo Exchange Offer failed to meet the minimum tender condition necessary for the consummation of the offer. All Existing 2016 Notes tendered in the CEDC FinCo Exchange Offer will be returned to tendering holders.
