- Larry Clark's Film Marfa Girl Now Available To Stream
- Posted 27 months ago by Jack Lowe · film · 8352 Views
Following from its triumph at the Rome Film Festival this week where it was crowned best film, Larry Clark's Marfa Girl is now available to stream exclusively through the director's website. Set in the small Texas town of Marfa, the film tells the tale of Adam - a half-white, half-Hispanic teenager who is trying to navigate the worlds of sex, drugs, rock and roll, art, violence, and racism.
Speaking about the decision to only release the film through his website, Clark said:"This is the future and the future is now… Most and very soon almost all the small theaters that show Indie and Art films will be gone… Everyday another goes out of business because everything is digital now and it is quite expensive for the wonderful old smaller theaters to bear the cost of switching to digital… Anyway I think I am one of the very first directors to release a new film this way, on a website who's only purpose is to show his new films… I think this could be very successful and it also cuts out the crooked Hollywood distributors.

Cross-Platform Action - Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Gamepad vs Keyboard & Mouse! We make our own makeshift cross-platform setups to see how Counter-Strike: Global Offensive theoretically would have played were this functionality in the game.
great game i play every day on xbl, just wish it had more maps and gametypes maybe they are comming soon.
@Madmac88 wew so cool
Looking forward me love me some cs
any campaign mode?
you can play mouse k/b on ps3? yess!!!!1
Playing multiplayer online PC you have a fraction of a second to get on target before you are worm food. Unless you are just a camper that hides and puts his reticle in one spot and just wait for someone to walk/run into his crosshairs. Not everyone uses WSAD to move, I don't. The only movement keys I bind to the keyboard are strafe left and right.
There are some very good points all round and yes in the end it does come down to skill to a degree. BUT, you have to remember, what is more precise hands down? Your thumb controlling all of your aiming or your WHOLE HAND controlling your aiming? The answer is obvious and nothing you can say will change that. So in my opinion the best of the best mouse keyboard player does have an advantage over the best of the best controller player. Yes you can put the sensitivity up for a controller but it will never be as precise. Just my opinion.
I am not doing to bad with a controller
Funny how they're trying to compare the different controls for PC's and Console's but they really end up talking about skill.
All you have to do is put the sensitivity on the controls up.....
It still does come down to skill in the end, though.
Lol console players
I whish everyboy console FPS support keyboard and mouse
the keyboard and mouse best the controller for FPS. K&M>game pad> wii mote
The entire globe might find this game offensive...
This isn't a fair comparative video.. the guy with the controller has clearly never held one before one his life. I've been playing console coming up to 10 years now; I'd hold my own against PC players on cross platform games. Really, I'll gladly admit that you get an advantage with a keyboard and mouse over a controller but the advantage isn't that huge. Well, against a noob with a controller it is.
If only this was available in Europe on PS3. Its not easy living in europe, first world problems.
I'm mediocre at best when it comes to online shooters. I can't play them for crap on a console controller so I bought a mouse controller for Xbox 360 and the PS3. Mouse and keyboard is more accurate, yes. It doesn't make you invincible though. I play Bad Company 2 all the time with my mouse controller. The one for the 360 is way better than the one I have for my PS3, it feels like PC aiming. I get my butt kicked all the time though. It makes it easier for me to PLAY the game. It certainly didn't make me better.
so why couldn't you have the OPTION to play the ps3 version with a mouse and keyboard/pad against pc users???
Of course keyboard and mouse are better.
i think the CS will be great with a move controller on PS3 and it will be better than a mouse and keyboard
How did they get a Keyboard and Mouse to work on PS3? Did they buy one of those converters?
pair a game mouse with a belkin nostromo n52te instead of using your keyboard and you are unbeatable
this vid is pure gold dust! and proves what everyone already knows . coming from the PC side of things and being use to the quick snap reflexes in a fraction of a second i can take between life and death. i can also easliy destroy everyone on my ps3 if im using the move sharpshooter . next best ting i wont play a console shooter any other way now.
Thank you for making this video, I have had arguments with console fan boys who say they would destroy people with a mouse and keyboard, now I have video proof that they are far from correct.
I"ve seen some players with gamepads that amazed me what they could do. I've been hardcore keyboard/mouse since the dawn of FPS games (well keyboard only at first), and I know what they're capable of. I always laughed off gamepad users but honestly some are very very good. On average though, there's no comparison.
this makes me goin' back to the competition....
great game even on consoles and at 1200 MS pretty cheap as well worth the money and worth a chance make's a big change from battlefield and cod.
excellent game to practice shooters with a controller
The game actually looks worse... I am amazed. What happened?
I'm not gonna lie, this guy sucks with a controller. He would have lost against other controller players the way he plays.
This is example why we master race gamers (PC of course) better then our lesser console friends.
@TopGunnas PC version... Endless maps and gametypes.
@Ultra_Taco Lol. Sensitivity isn't the only difference between an analog stick and a mouse.
@arsenal1111 Would you really? The PC version of CS:GO supports gamepads. I'm terrible at online FPS's anyway, and I'm almost always in the bottom of the ranks when I play, but I'll gladly accept a challenge. Me with my mouse and keyboard vs. you with a controller.
@arsenal1111 HAHA..ok. There is just no comparison.
@obsequies You can do that actually. Use a mouse and a keyboard.
@a-tash lol
PS3 has always supported mouse and keyboard. Developers just ignore it.
Wait, what? They're using PCs and using Xbox controllers lmao xD
@Psycold lol he was mainly vs bots he wasnt even against many players we all know bots suck so this isnt a fair test i would match the best of pc against the best of consoles anyday. and the reason u PC gamers dont like consoles controllers is because u suck with them, not that the controller sucks u just suck with it just like console gamers would suck with mouse and keyboard. and another thing on halo 2 on PC i hear controllers have an advantage over mouse and keyboard so that just flushes your argument down the toilet theres no way to properly test mouse and keyboard vs consoles controller plain and simple.
This hardly proves anything, the guy with the control was just not good. If you are good with a control there is no reason you could not take on mouse and keyboard players. There is a little thing I like to use called stick sensitivity in the options
@Assimilat0r NO it just shows how mouse and keyboard is a better control method for games that play in first person.
Its also better for third person games too IMO, hopefully they will also do a comparison of those too.
@Assimilat0r you should be proud of yourself for having a PC :D thats an awesome achievement
@SteroidFreud @arsenal1111 lol you wouldn't last a minute in a PC server mate. Just my 2 cents.
@TKavney92 @mid--boss In part of the video they were, but then there was a bit where they were showing a PS3 player using m/kb. As for how, the PS3 supports USB m/kb peripherals. Not all games work with them, though. CS:GO is one that does.
@jayjay444 haha, it is rare you come across someone as misinformed as yourself. Btw, Halo 2 was never even released for PC
@pelvist Its from my side just a meaningless trolling.
keyboard sucks for controlling FPS , especially when using wasd , controller is much better IMO , also only noobs keed the default sensitivity , if you learn to play with max sensitivity its just as easy to aim and turn as with mouse
@RX7PoweredBug @Psycold Idiot? lol coming from a geek like u? grow some balls kid u know im right, i bet that was the only thing u could think of so why dont u just do me a favor and fuck off and dont messgae me again.
@Psycold @jayjay444 Jayjay is an idiot, but so are you. Halo 2 DID come out on PC.
@AmnesiaHaze @Assimilat0r @pelvist Yes the only people who would agree with you are CoD or Halo players.
@AmnesiaHaze @Assimilat0r @pelvist Mouse is way more accurate than analog sticks, that's a fact, if you don't like to use does not make them less accurate.
@Assimilat0r @pelvist i see , that explains it , i though you were serious , my bad :D
@AmnesiaHaze Your comment wasn't about preference but about one being markedly more effective than another. This is false.
you need to accept that not everyone prefers what you do , i respect that you prefer keyboards , but let others prefer analog sticks , it's not like i dont have a choice , but i hate using keyboard and mouse for gaming after coming from work where i use them non stop , not even speaking about sitting comfortable
@AmnesiaHaze Keep telling yourself that.

Friday's Late Winners & Losers
Shares of Books-A-Million (BAMM) jumped after hours Friday as the Birmingham, Ala.-based bookstore chain posted a profit for the quarter ended Feb. 3. The company earned $15.1 million, or 90 cents a share, compared with 66 cents a share last year. Same-store sales were down 2.4% from last year, but total revenue jumped 8.4% year over year to $174.6 million. Shares were gaining 74 cents, or 5.2%, to $14.98, in recent extended trading.
Simclar (SIMC) climbed 15.5% after the Hialeah, Fla., small-cap earned $949,000, or 15 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, up from last year's profit of 3 cents a share. Sales soared 83.5% to $33.2 million from last year. Shares of the electronics maker were up 94 cents to $7.
Blue Holdings (BLUE), on the other hand, was sliding on disappointing year-end results. The Commerce, Calif., clothing maker lost $6.7 million in the fourth quarter compared with $1.3 million income last year, with full-year losses coming to $5.4 million, or 18 cents a share. The company blames the losses on accounting adjustments owing to larger changes in the market. Profits in 2005 had totaled $5.1 million, or 20 cents a share. Shares were sinking 15 cents, or 8.2%, to $1.69, in recent late trading.
Among other after-hours gainers, gold miner Crystallex International (KRY) was leaping 30 cents, or 8.1%, to $4; LED lighting-system maker Color Kinetics (CLRK) was adding 84 cents, or 4.3%, to $20.27; and United Auto Group (UAG) was up 58 cents, or 2.9%, to $20.88.Trading lower were YM Biosciences, (YMI) plunging 27 cents, or 13.9%, to $1.68; automation technology-products maker ABB, (ABB) down 66 cents, or 3.8%, to $16.52; and PennFed Financial, (PFSB) recently off 67 cents, or 3.1%, to $21.

Zogenix And Battelle To Present Positive, New Data Demonstrating Value Of Needle-Free Injection For Biologics
SAN DIEGO and COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZGNX) and Battelle Memorial Institute today announced new data supporting the value of the DosePro® needle-free injection technology in the delivery of biologics. The positive, new data will be presented in four poster presentations, including two posters co-authored by MedImmune, LLC, the worldwide biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca plc, and Zogenix; and two posters co-authored by Battelle and Zogenix, at the 2013 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) National Biotechnology Conference, May 20-22, 2013 in San Diego.
The data presented in these posters show that the DosePro technology is compatible with monoclonal antibodies formulations and a range of biologic formulation viscosities which are challenging to deliver via standard autoinjector technologies. The studies found that injection of these formulations were within the acceptable criteria for injection time and peak pressure and that there were no changes in molecular integrity, observable tertiary structure, purity or potency following injection. The data also show that needle-free technology such as DosePro has the potential to positively impact patient acceptance of self-injectable therapies, leading to greater adoption and adherence of subcutaneously administered biologics.
John Turanin, Vice President and General Manager, DosePro Technology, at Zogenix, commented, "This new data represents an important step in addressing the need for delivery technology for biologics by demonstrating DosePro's compatibility with the viscous formulations and the impact of needle-free delivery on patient confidence. We believe the AAPS National Biotechnology Conference will be an excellent forum to introduce the DosePro system to potential biopharmaceutical partners looking for innovative delivery technology solutions for their current and future self-injection therapies."The four posters to be presented at the AAPS National Biotechnology Conference include:
- In Vitro Integrity of Two Recombinant Human Monoclonal Antibodies after Instantaneous Injection by DosePro® Delivery Technology; Poster# M1012
- Injection Performance Assessment of Monoclonal Antibody Formulation Viscosity mimics Using an Instantaneous Injection Technology; Poster# M1013
- Adoption, Adherence, and Preferences Regarding Injectable Drug Delivery by Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results of a Research Survey; Poster# T2010

The Page That Is Full To The Gills
Post comment
How do you sell a match report for a 1-1 draw? And why does Thierry Henry need putting in his place? We take a look at the day's newspapers to save you the bother...
The Page That Wanted A Hashtag
Post comment
The Daily Mail arrive fashionably late to the Roy Keane story, and The Sun reveal Mario Balotelli's 'secret'...
All Articles
Someone might want to explain how Wikipedia works to The Independent after they tweeted on Sunday: 'Has Arsenal captain Vermaelen already joined Manchester United? His Wikipedia page says so.'
Does that mean Tim Howard really is the new US Secretary of Defense?
You may remember The Daily Mail labelling Southampton owner Katharina Liebherr a 'dream wrecker' in January following Nicola Cortese's departure, so it isn't a surprise to see the paper rather enjoying the club's predicament this summer.
On Monday, Sam Cunningham provides an update on the situation at St Mary's following a raft of sales, but there is so much hyperbole to the article it's barely worth taking seriously.
Let's look at three things that riled Mediawatch the most:
1) "The most important message I gave is that we will keep the philosophy and ambition of the club," said Ronald Koeman on his discussions with Les Reed, Saints' head of football development.
Writes Cunningham: 'The problem is, those who work closely with Southampton say that the philosophy has altered. One source said: "Under Cortese it was very much like Barcelona or Real Madrid where it doesn't matter who the head coach is it's just that you do right by the club."'
Frankly, the Mail's source is talking b*llocks. Aside from the fact that it obviously does matter who the coach is at Real Madrid and Barcelona - just ask Gerardo Martino - that clearly wasn't Cortese's view of management, otherwise he wouldn't have risked the enormous upheaval in replacing Nigel Adkins with Mauricio Pochettino half way through Saints' first season back in the Premier League.
2) The article continues: 'Critics argue that Liebherr and Krueger know nothing about football and Reed is out of his depth. "Getting Katharina to stabilise the club after Cortese left is like getting a lunatic to run an asylum," said a source who has worked with a number of top-flight clubs.'
Again, what a load of absolute guff on which to base 'THE STORY BEHIND SOUTHAMPTON'S ASTONISHING SUMMER SELL-OFF'. This is the problem with unnamed sources, they can say whatever the hell they like without fear of reproach.
Mediawatch probably doesn't need to point it out, but it's quite clear that Katharina Liebherr is a competent businesswoman - just look at the high prices Southampton have demanded for their players. But don't let that stop the Mail printing defamatory statements from an unnamed coward.
3) And finally, Cunningham concludes: 'Promises have already been broken and some are tipping Southampton for relegation. Indeed, the club's future could well be decided by the time the transfer window shuts at the end of next month.'
Erm, no it won't. It'll be decided after 38 games like every other club, and they'll probably be perfectly fine. But thanks for coming.
It looks like someone might need to fix the fax machine at Bramall Lane, judging by these contrasting club statements on Monday...
Said a statement on the Sheffield United website, published at 9.30am: 'Sheffield United have reluctantly accepted Hull City's latest bid for Harry Maguire. The Premiership (sic) club have finally met United's valuation for the defender, who has now been granted permission to speak to the East Yorkshire club.
'United's Managing Director, Mal Brannigan, commented: "We made it clear that we wanted Harry to stay by offering him a new contract at the end of last season, unfortunately he and his representatives chose a different path.
'"However, as he is under contract at Bramall Lane, we exercised our right to set our own valuation of him and after numerous bids which did not meet our expectations, Hull City increased their offer and we have reluctantly accepted.
'"As we have previously stated, Sheffield United are not under pressure to sell our players but on this occasion it was deemed the best for all parties and now we move on with the aim of assisting Nigel Clough to strengthen his squad."'
Said a statement on the Hull City Website, published at 10.57am:
'Sheffield United rejected an offer from the Club five days (Wednesday) ago for defender Harry Maguire. This was the Club's final offer and we have since entered into discussions with other transfer targets.
'In light of Sheffield United's statement this morning the board will meet with manager Steve Bruce this afternoon to determine whether we now wish to pursue the transfer after the South Yorkshire club's apparent U-turn.'
You can't make Brendan Rodgers talk about Luis Suarez if he doesn't want to talk about Luis Suarez.
"Luis Suarez isn't a Liverpool player, so I don't need to talk about or reference Luis Suarez," said Rodgers, before going on to say...
"I'll just worry about the players I have, who showed last season and the season before, when we don't have Luis Suarez, we can score goals."
The concept of failure is obviously a subjective discussion but, taking that into account, Mediawatch was still puzzled by Ian Ladyman's take on Juan Mata in the Daily Mail.
'New seasons bring - among other things - opportunities to replenish or repair reputations. Juan Mata perhaps fits into the latter category,' writes Ladyman.
'The star signing of David Moyes' torrid eight months at Manchester United, the Spanish playmaker failed to such an extent last season that the first thing Ryan Giggs did when handed brief control of the team last April was drop him.'
That's right, ignore his excellent record of six goals and four assists in just 15 appearances. Ignore that he arrived at a troubled time and was played out of position on the wing. And ignore his promising link up with Shinji Kagawa, which hinted that the Japanese playmaker might finally fulfil his potential at United. If Giggs dropped him he must have been s**te.
New Low
'Wilfried Zaha's tour of America reached a new low when he was put through a double warm down session after the Roma game,' Ladyman continues in the Daily Mail.
'Zaha is the only member of United's 26-man touring party not to play a single minute of the club's two games so far.
'The young winger was told to do an aerobic session and then a gym workout with Darren Fletcher and goalkeepers David De Gea and Anders Lindegaard.'
Boy, it really sounds like he's being singled out for harsh treatment, having to do a double session with three other unused subs from Saturday's game.
It's probably also worth noting that Louis van Gaal said of Zaha: "He has worked well in training. There are no problems."
Strike Three
Mediawatch doesn't mean to pick on Ian Ladyman, but we can't resist the material he's offering on an otherwise dry day.
Tweeted Ladyman over the weekend: 'Twitters (sic) obsession with #mufc and Vidal continues. Definite message of 'no interest' from the club, tho.'
Yep, it's fans on Twitter who have a problem, Ian. The Daily Mail (that big newspaper you write for), aren't obsessed with Vidal at all.
We must have read these headlines somewhere else this summer:
'Manchester United ready to make play for Arturo Vidal as Juventus and Chile star's camp shows encouraging signs'
'Arturo Vidal leaves door open to Manchester United move by saying he will decide his future when he returns from holiday'
'Arturo Vidal will NOT be allowed to join Manchester United this summer, says Juventus chief executive'
We could go on, but sifting through 95,000 results for the Google search 'Arturo Vidal site:dailymail.co.uk' would probably leave us in tears.
Transfer Guff
The evolution of a transfer rumour in three simple steps:
1) Take some innocuous quotes from Rudi Garcia in which the Roma boss emphasises how much the club want to keep Kevin Strootman: "Maybe only after a three-digit offer will we then sit down and think about it."
2) Interpret these quotes in such a bizarrely twisted manner that it's seen as though Garcia is saying Strootman is available. Take this from The Sun, for example: 'Manchester United must cough up £79million to land top target Kevin Strootman.'
3) Think of a crap headline and slap it on the back page: 'STROOTH! LVG told to pay £79m for Kev'.
And there you have it, another piece of transfer bulls**t.
Captain Marvel
You'll know by now that Mediawatch is a dispirited and grumpy sort, so forgive us for picking on poor Tom Cleverley as he realised a boyhood dream.
"It was fantastic, a really proud moment," said Cleverley. "I've been here since I was 11. Now, whatever I go on to do, I can always say I captained Manchester United. At 24, that's not bad."
It certainly isn't, but Cleverley might want to worry more about Louis van Gaal's post-match reaction: "I think we didn't play a good match because of the height of the stadium, the air, because all my good passers failed...Some of our passes failed, the ball was bobbling all the time and we didn't create so much, but we scored three fantastic goals."
Considering passing and creating are just about the only two things Cleverley accepted responsibility for in his interview with the Daily Mirror last season, Mediawatch would suggest it wasn't a performance from which a great deal of pride should be taken.
Captain Marvel #2
Wrote Jonathan Northcroft in The Sunday Times: 'Wayne Rooney downloaded and devoured all 26 episodes of the World at War series.'
Hand him the armband and send him into battle.
Is there anything more pointless than a match rating for a pre-season friendly? The Independent award Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Roma '6/10', which is about as useful as an ejector seat in a helicopter.
Headline Of The Day

Non-Football Story Of The Day
'A woman spent 10 years walking around with a five-inch sex toy inside her without realising.
'The 38-year-old arrived at hospital complaining of severe weight loss, shaking and lethargy. She had also experienced mild incontinence for "a few weeks".
'Doctors were shocked to discover a strange foreign body protruding into her bladder from inside her.
'Surgeons at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who operated on the woman discovered the item was a five inch sex toy.
'The woman revealed she had used the sex toy with her partner ten years ago. She said she had been drunk at the time and couldn't remember if she removed it or not. The sex toy had caused her potentially life-threatening internal damage.
'After removing the sex toy, doctors managed to repair the damage and the woman was later discharged' - the Daily Record.

Work related depression - page 3
Yet another post about stress and work related depression... :down: I burned out on bedside nursing and now I am burning out in my new non bedside position. I feel trapped in my job. I am the sole breadwinner, and my family... Read More
- 3Dec 11, '12 by CrunchRNKeep trying for other positions. You just never know when someone will like you and/or be desperate and give you a break.
- 3Dec 11, '12 by mtngrlI have never felt such depression, anxiety, and stress until I became a nurse. I used to be the most positive cheerfull person! Now I cry all the time. I thought it was just bedside nursing I hated so I switched to case management. But nope, it still sucks. Actually the stress is even worse!!!!! I hate nursing and I regret so much getting this degree. Now I work full time so can't go back to school nor could I afford to...still putting my daugher through college currently. Most people think I have a dream job..I can work from home, holidays and weekends off, day hours.....but seriously the stress is so not worth it. I don't have time to even exercise anymore due to the massive workload, and I am ALWAYS tired. I am sick of changing jobs because I just hate them all. I just want a job that has NOTHING to do with healthcare. Unfortunately I can't afford to do that so I will be stuck being depressed in a career I hate.
- 2Dec 16, '12 by DSkelton711It is really sad how many of us feel powerless and hopeless in our careers as nurses. I have wished, almost everyday for 26 years, that I had chosen another field. I have never really felt comfortable in my skin as a nurse. I conveyed confidence at times just to hide my feelings of incompetence. I haven't done bedside nursing for almost 20 years, so that is not my issue. There seems to be some sort of stress in every position. I wish I felt hopeful for the future of nursing, but I don't. There are nurses that I know that deal very well with the stress and demands and I wish I could be like that. The really weird part is--I don't know what I would do if I weren't a nurse!
- 4Dec 16, '12 by cantdoitI can also relate. I feel totally hopeless and stuck in nursing. I'm depressed and exausted from this job... I just want to get out of nursing altogether, but the economy has stalled out. Sometimes I consider working as a waitress just to get away...
- 4Dec 29, '12 by LTCNS*Raises hand* Another nurse who wishes she had chosen a different profession. I started as a bedside nurse, thought the grass was greener in an office position so was a MDS Coordinator for 14 years, tried bedside nursing again because I couldn't take the corporate greed and constant scrutiny a MDS nurse endures, recently started at a wound clinic as a wound nurse/hyperbaric tech thinking I would be happy as a lark but I'm finding myself wanting out already. I have finally figured out it's not the jobs I've had but the profession I'm in that is making me miserable.
- 3Jan 1, '13 by mtngrlWell it's a new year, let's change something! I would love to find a non nursing job but of course that will mean a HUGE and I do mean HUGE pay cut. Unless some miracle job happens lol. I say this every year and then get scared and end up taking a new nursing job. I got a real estate license at one point but the market sucked so bad I spent more than I made. Ugh trying to escape nursing is HARD! Good luck to us!!!
- 1Jan 1, '13 by DoeRNQuote from mtngrlI understand. I registered for school today actually for a non nursing field. I'm totally burned out and have cut my hours down to have a little bit in savings and pay bills. Nothing extra which is bad because I love to shop. But I can't even enjoy that because I have to work to have money to shop. I do feel stuck in nursing and I am determined to have a way out.Well it's a new year, let's change something! I would love to find a non nursing job but of course that will mean a HUGE and I do mean HUGE pay cut. Unless some miracle job happens lol. I say this every year and then get scared and end up taking a new nursing job. I got a real estate license at one point but the market sucked so bad I spent more than I made. Ugh trying to escape nursing is HARD! Good luck to us!!!
- 3Feb 3, '13 by DSkelton711I feel the same way: trapped. I think I made a major mistake almost 30 years ago when I switched to nursing (I was a business major!). Perhaps nursing is not for you either, or maybe you just haven't found the right fit yet. Do some soul-
searching and make a plan for the future. I am 52 and don't think I can stay in nursing much longer without having some
kind of mental breakdown. But I know I must do something. Good luck and may you find your way.
- 1Feb 7, '13 by vickis26I have been an rn for 29 years. I had the luxury of working part time when my children were young, but then full time when the college bills started. I planned on going back to part time when college was over, but my husband got sick and passed away. I have experienced burn out several times in my career but learning and variety helps me deal with it. I have changed my specialty from cardiac, home care, interventional radiology, output. surgery and currently PACU. I feel there are too many nursing options to feel "stuck". Although, this time I have been looking for about 6 months and the offers are less than when I was younger, I will keep my bagged packed, so when burnout hits, I look for new opportunities.
- 1Mar 8, '13 by RNikkiFI seriously had to check the name of the person who posted this because it could have been ME who posted it! I am the main earner in my family, my husband is in college full time. We have two kids, two mortgages, a car payment, etc.
The day before I go back to work, my anxiety and depression kick into high gear. I would love to either find a non-bedside position or get out of nursing altogether. I've only been doing this for three years and already the stress of it is overwhelming. People outside of nursing (even within hospitals) have NO clue about how much liability and responsibility are involved in this profession.
I considered going back to college to get a bachelor degree in supply chain operations management (I worked in that field in the Navy years ago). But I have NO idea 1) how I would pay for it, or 2) how I would be able to manage going to school full time, working full time, etc.
I feel so entirely trapped. All I've ever wanted is to be a stay at home mom and take care of my family. I feel like I've missed so much of my kids' lives, even though technically I "stayed home" with them for 10 years, I had to either work or be enrolled in college, so I was never able to give the focus to my family and home that I have always wanted to. Now my kids are 9 and 13, and even though they're older and in school, they still need full time attention. I've never felt that I am good at balancing work and family... all of this just adds to my depression and anxiety.
On my days off, I'm so emotionally exhausted from work (my facility's culture is far from great), that I end up wasting all of my time off, even though I vow every week to make the most of it. I think the stress at work combined with my guilt of taking so much time to recover heightens my anxiety. It is a cycle that I don't know how to stop.
For now, I'll continue to grit my teeth and do what I have to do to get through... my thoughts are with you.

Whether it is dexterity of voice, a good sense of the kriti, manodharma in raga alapana, neraval and kalpanaswaram, talakattu or concert craft — Bharat Sundar has all of these ingredients in good measure
Bharat Sundar's concert for Kartik Fine Arts confirmed that he is living up to the promise he has shown in the last two years. Whether it is dexterity of voice, a good sense of the kriti, manodharma in raga alapana, neraval and kalpanaswaram, talakattu or concert craft — he has all of these ingredients in good measure. There is ample evidence that he has and continues to receive good guidance from his gurus. While he has worked on the dexterity of his voice, he would do well to make it fuller, rounder and stronger in the lower registers. This would substantially enhance the impact of his presentation. Throughout the concert, he did not explore the lower registers. Given his capability, he should set higher standards for himself. It would be good to see him dig deeper as a musician rather than as a performer and add the element of soukhyam to his music.
He began with the Begada varnam Intachalamu. Shambho mahadeva in Pantuvarali was rendered excellently with neraval and sarvalaghu kalpana swarams. The alapana in Dhanyasi contained several exquisite phrases but the alapana overall, did not produce a strong picture of the raga. Comparatively, the violinist B.U. Ganesh Prasad sketched a more wholesome impression.
Bharat Sundar shone brilliantly in the alapana of Keeravani. He was not afraid to explore untraditional phrases within the ambit of the raga. However, the two slower paced kritis presented in the concert — Meenalochana in Dhanyasi and Kaligiyuntegada in Keervani — fell short of his high standards. Aside from this, he presented the lyrics and sangatis of all the kritis with a great degree of respect and finesse.
The role of a violin accompanist is to enhance the concert and not merely to play second fiddle. B.U. Ganesh Prasad presented enough evidence of his musicality and skill as a violinist but chose to play a subservient role in the concert.
An old anecdote goes that a senior vocalist once denied a taniavartanam to the mridangam artiste during a concert. The vocalist's justification was that the musician played "taniya" (by himself) throughout the concert. This applied to the mridangist of the day, B. Sivaraman. Predictably, he sparkled during the taniavartanam but compromised the concert overall. B.S. Purushottam knows how to coax the best sounds out of the kanjira. Both percussionists presented some exquisite korvais during the tani.
At the end of the concert, a foreigner in the auditorium asked if most people in the audience were deaf. He was referring to the loud and unbalanced audio. It is time that artistes and audiences demand a higher level of sophistication from the sound systems and operators.

TypeDNA to pick up where other font management software leaves off
TypeDNA is previewing its advanced font management software at Macworld booth 4037, and gave TUAW a sneak peek.
TypeDNA (also the name of the product) is cross-platform, standalone font management software that also includes some advanced features to help you select fonts based on similarity and type features. Along with standard activation and grouping features, TypeDNA includes Font Harmony and Similar Fonts tools to help you select aesthetically-compatible fonts for your projects.
TypeDNA will begin a public beta program soon, with an eye to releasing the software in March. If you want to sign up for TypeDNA's public beta, you can.
Font Harmony indexes fonts on your local computer, and also references TypeDNA's online repository of fonts to find matches and harmonies for your selections. You can limit searches to fonts you own, and also buy fonts online directly from the software. TypeDNA hopes to have fonts from a variety of foundries available by the time software is available for purchase.
The Similar Fonts feature, as you might expect, shows you similar fonts based on your selection. As with Font Harmony, you can limit the search to fonts on your computer, or expand it to include fonts available for sale online.
Perhaps most interestingly, TypeDNA also includes OCR-based font recognition. If you have a bitmap image of an unidentified font, TypeDNA will query its online font catalog and display possible matches. TypeDNA's Darren Glenister demonstrated the feature with an image of an Adobe logo sign. The font recognition tool split the type in the logo into its component letterforms, and then made best guesses as to the typeface. Meta came up in the list first, which wasn't quite right, but Myriad Condensed was next. For alpha software, the demo -- and the speed in which it completed -- was still impressive.
Plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Microsoft Office are available, nicely integrating TypeDNA's features into third-party software. The software easily can find and replace fonts -- a feature already available in some software. TypeDNA's implementation is vast improvement to Office's lackluster font tools.
Performance was teh snappy -- very zippy with hundreds of fonts loaded. Since the tool doesn't load the fonts into a menu (and instead uses a scrolling list), Glenister said that the tool could be used with even hundreds of thousands of fonts simultaneously, and performance would still be good.
A version for workgroups that manages font resources (and licensing) among networked computers is on the way, too.
They haven't yet decided on pricing, but said it would be competitive to other font management applications.

Chronos replaces StickyBrain with SOHO Notes 5.5
StickyBrain, one of the leading 'digital junk drawer' apps that recently entered a 4.1 beta testing phase, has been officially discontinued by Chronos in favor of SOHO Notes 5.5. Current registered users of StickyBrain 4.0 will receive an upgrade to SOHO Notes for free, while users who own licenses for any previous StickyBrain versions (1.x, 2.x and 3.x) can upgrade to SOHO Notes 5.5 for a mere $25, the price offered in the past for upgrading from StickyBrain 3.x to 4.x.
Why is StickyBrain being dissolved in favor of SOHO Notes, you ask? Chronos has published an announcement and FAQ explaining the decision, but here's the short version: SOHO Notes is basically the big brother of StickyBrain; they're almost the same app, derived from the same codebase, except SOHO Notes included three key features that Chronos used to charge extra for:
- SOHO Notes can synchronize notes between multiple computers using a .Mac account (seamlessly, in the background).
- SOHO Notes can access multiple note databases simultaneously.
- SOHO Notes is multi-user capable which means users can share notes with others over a network using the product's client/server technology.
Feature-wise, this new version of SOHO Notes 5.5 offers some powerful new goodies, such as the ability to import and catalog almost any kind of file, send notes to your blog, a DockNote that makes it easy to get info both in and out, audio recording notes, full-screen editing of notes, a Daily Journal/Diary category that can automatically date/time stamp notes and much more.

II-VI Management Discusses Q4 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
For our IR Optics business excluding HIGHYAG in the U.S., orders from the domestic OEMs decreased 11% quarter-over-quarter. This decrease was a result of timing of orders and a decrease in the low-power market. High power OEM orders remained flat quarter-over-quarter, which we feel will continue through the first half of fiscal year '13. The North American aftermarket experienced a 5% decrease quarter-over-quarter suggesting laser utilization is slipping. Based on survey feedback from the market, we feel the North American aftermarket will continue at the current pace for the next 2 quarters.
European bookings for the fourth quarter were down 5% quarter-over-quarter but up 15% compared to the fourth quarter of '11. We are starting to see signs of unfavorable economic conditions affecting the high power OEMs. European aftermarket was down 16% quarter-over-quarter. Asian bookings were down 25% quarter-over-quarter with all areas in Asia contributing to this decline. In Japan, the high power business has softened. This was combined with the low power business already down and resulted in the quarter-over-quarter drop in bookings.
Economic conditions and the strong yen are making it difficult for sales outside Japan resulting in the lower machine builds. China bookings dropped 15% quarter-over-quarter and were down 22% compared to the fourth quarter of '11. The China economy continues to grow but at a slower pace and our largest OEM customer has experienced a significant drop in orders which has impacted bookings. We are actively pursuing new end-user customers and the results have been encouraging. We expect economic conditions to improve in China towards the end of the first half of FY '13.
In summary, our IR Optics business segment including HIGHYAG, continuous to see bookings pressure driven by worldwide economic conditions which have impacted our business over the past several weeks. The reduction in laser utilization has impacted Asia while U.S. and European markets have been flat.

The demonstration, which premiered on April 22 during Erin Burnett's Out Front evening program, was helmed by field reporter David Mattingly and featured "the same weapon" used "during the marathon bombings." Calling his report "Cheap & Deadly Pressure Cooker Bombs," Mattingly told viewers how deadly the bomb was, emphasizing how cheap it was to make and how easy it was to learn how to do it. "Less than $100 worth of material and access to the Internet, and you can build one of these bombs," he told anchor Burnett. Mattingly and his explosives expert noted that the shrapnel inside such a bomb reaches victims sooner than the blast and shock wave does. "By the time you hear the boom, you could already be hit," Mattingly said.

I strongly feel a feature the Tribunal should add is the ability to click on specific lines that the accused said to flag them if you voted to punish, and then send the lines that got the most flags to the punished player. That removes any chance of abuse (since they'll only see things that they said themselves), provides the player with feedback on what other players found objectionable, and also gives the player a chance to appeal if the lines were mild or taken out of context.
@Rioter. See the downvotes? Its from the players who are avidly pro-tribunal. As I'm trying to hold a conversation with you, these players habitually downvote.
Not like it matters, but the same could be said for how bias the system is as how it is ran by these biased players.

A name synonymous with Chicago. A lifetime of public service. After more than 2 decades as mayor and nearly 40 years in elected office, Richard M. Daley is retiring from public life. WGN-TV presents "Make No Little Plans: Richard M. Daley" a 30-minute examination of Chicago's outgoing leader.
Steve Sanders looks back on the Mayor's life, going back to his childhood in the Bridgeport neighborhood. We hear from the Mayor's brother, Cook County Commissioner John Daley, about growing up sharing rooms in a modest bungalow where the dinner table was presided over by another legendary Mayor of Chicago; Richard J. Daley. The story follows the Mayor's early political career in Springfield as a State Senator to his return home in 1980 to become Cook County State's Attorney. It was a career that had its stumbles, including an embarrassing loss in his first run for Mayor in 1983. Daley would learn from that loss, and use the following years to build a political organization that would vault him to the 5th floor of City Hall in 1989. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Mark Suppelsa sits down with Daley in his waning days as Mayor, where he reveals the one thing he would change in Chicago if he could do it with a snap of his fingers. The Mayor also opens up about his controversial decision to rip up Meigs Field in the middle of the night. Does he regret it? Does he relish it? Daley also tells us why he doesn't like looking into the past, and offers his insight about the long talked about conspiracy theory that his father helped fix the 1960 presidential election for John F. Kennedy.
Jackie Bange goes in depth into the Mayor's 22 years leading Chicago, highlighting the highs and lows, successes and failures. Political strategist David Axelrod tells us about Daley's meticulous plan to change the face and reputation of the city. The Mayor also has his share of critics, and former Alderman Dorothy Tillman can be counted among them. She tells us why she believes the Mayor's unprecedented takeover of the Chicago Public Schools in 1995 should be considered a failure. And we'll tell you the one thing that earns the Mayor criticism at a legendary Chicago pub that was once frequented by his father.
Robert Jordan, a reporter who's covered the Mayor since the beginning, chimes in on his soft side. Whether it's his passion for the city's men and women in uniform or his palpable love for his children and his beloved wife Maggie, that lump seemed always ready to creep up in his throat. Jordan also recounts many of the lighter moments in Daley's mayoralty, and those so called "Daley-isms". Remember when he couldn't spell the word "state?" Or, the time when an exasperated Daley snipped at reporters, "What do you want? My shorts!?" We've plumbed the WGN archives to find the best moments.
And finally, many of the men and women closest to the Mayor offer their thoughts on his legacy and what he meant for Chicago.

Life got crazy in December (my mother became quite ill) and I've not quite been up to posting inspirational stuff here on my blog.
Then when things started looking better, I came to the blog to post and something seems to be wrong with my blogger account.
Oh bother!
The longer I seem to be away, the harder it is to start again.
So, I'm just going to jump back in and post something.
Maybe it will re-ignite my passion for sharing, because I really love my blog.
Here is some art - hope it inspires you a bit today.
It's one of my favorites.

Material: Plastic
Brand: Mattel
Origin: Imported
Mattel was born in 1945 out of a garage in Southern California. Surprisingly, the first Mattel products were picture frames, but one of Mattel's founders soon started developing dollhouse furniture from picture frame scraps. Encouraged by the success of the dollhouse furniture, Mattel switched their focus to toys. Mattel's popular toy brands, including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Monster High, Polly Pocket, Matchbox, Fijit Friends, and Fisher-Price are constantly bringing joy to kids. Mattel also encourages "play" in a big way — the company believes that playing with toys helps build a strong foundation for learning and nurtures imagination. Over the past 10 years, Mattel and the Mattel Children's Foundation have donated $30 million and more than half a million toys to children's hospitals across the country.

Harbinger Group Inc. Announces $1.1 Billion In Revenues And Continued Operational Progress At Operating Subsidiaries For Second Quarter Fiscal 2012
Harbinger Group Inc. ("HGI"; NYSE: HRG) today announced its consolidated results for the Fiscal 2012 second quarter ended April 1, 2012.
- Consumer Products segment sales increased 8% year on year for the second quarter due to volume growth, retail distribution gains, new products and bolt-on acquisitions.
- Consumer Products operating income grew 17% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") grew 9% on higher sales, synergy benefits and cost reduction initiatives; replacement of debt lowers cost of capital.
- Strong Insurance segment product sales of $573 million and market share gains driven by recently-launched Prosperity Elite SM indexed annuities return Fidelity Guaranty & Life ("FGL") to a top-ten fixed index annuities ("FIA") player.
- Underlying value of Insurance segment reflected in net GAAP book value of $802 million (including accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") of $238 million) as of April 1, 2012.
- Net loss attributable to HGI common and participating preferred stockholders narrowed to ($3.9 million) or ($0.02) per common share compared to ($62.0 million) or ($0.45) per common share in second quarter of Fiscal 2011.
- Strong HGI cash and short-term investments position of approximately $470 million supports HGI's business strategy and growth of existing businesses.
- The non-cash accretion rate on HGI's preferred stock reduced from 4% for the second fiscal quarter to 2% commencing in the third fiscal quarter of 2012 due to an increase in HGI's net asset value as calculated in accordance with the terms of the certificates of designation of HGI's preferred stock.
Omar Asali, President of HGI said, "The robust revenue growth at HGI operating subsidiaries during the second quarter underscores the value-creation in our business model. Spectrum Brands delivered an 8% sales increase and 9% adjusted EBITDA growth in a quarter that is typically less strong due to the seasonality of its consumer business. Product sales at FGL were up a remarkable 241% year-over-year, as the company regained market share since our acquisition a year ago. We have also continued to grow our financial services vertical through our formation of Salus Capital Partners, our asset-backed lending business, which four months after creation is cash-flow positive and has closed five transactions; an impressive achievement for a start-up. With this level of growth and our strong management team, I am confident that HGI is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace as they develop."

Lindsay Lohan Fights, Fornicates in New 'Liz & Dick' Promo (VIDEO)
This week, Lifetime debuted a dramatic video promo for Liz & Dick, in which Lindsay Lohan attempts to recreate Elizabeth Taylor's scandalous and tumultuous relationship with fellow-actor Richard Burton (Grant Bowler).
Not a whole lot of dialogue is heard in the 30-second promo; however enough footage is shown to suggest that this TV movie is going to be one wild ride.
What dramatic moments does the movie promise?
"God that woman knows how to make an entrance," Bowler bemoans, as picture-perfect snapshots of Lohan flash across the screen.
And Lohan proves it. Donning high-fashion designs and dripping with diamonds, she tosses bottles during heated disputes and gets hot and heavy with Bowler (in a pool, a bathtub and between the sheets, no less) as she fights for her reputation.
"You just ended your forth marriage?" a woman asks in shock. "Oh, who's counting!" Lohan retorts in rage.
Spliced between the passionate love-making scenes, Liz & Dick chronicles Taylor and Burton's infamously turbulent marriage, from their screaming blowups to heartbreaking breakdowns.
"I hate you," Lohan mumbles through tears as she lies in Bowler's embrace.
See Lohan as the iconic Hollywood legend in the promo.
Get the latest scoop on Lindsay Lohan's arrest on today's segment of The Daily Buzz. WATCH THE FULL SEGMENT BELOW. Watch The Daily Buzz each weekday at 4.30 pm ET.

Submit your question below about any cosmetic procedure to be considered for posting with an answer from one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
How do I get my insurance company (PPO) to cover my breast reduction surgery?
Is there a way around getting my breast reduction surgery covered if my insurance company has stated that they do not cover such? It is not for cosmetic reasons as I have shoulder grooving, irritation underneath my breasts, excessive sweating underneath, etc. What is the criteria needed to be met for insurance coverage for this procedure?
This is your insurance policy. So, you will need to contact your insurance carrier to ask for their criteria for pre approval of Breast Reductions. Unfortunately, insurance carriers dictate health care coverage, not physicians. Insurance policy costs often vary based upon the amount of coverage, your age, etc.
One option, if your insurance carrier does not cover Breast Reduction, is to ask your employer if you can switch to a different carrier that does. If this is not an option, consider having the procedure done as a Cosmetic procedure. Many ASAPS Surgeons offer package pricing for these types of procedures, which would be less than a hospital bill for the same procedure (Breast Reduction Package).

- 0Jan 12, '10 by jess8806hi, I am new to the site. I just applied to florida state university nursing program for Fall 2010 and was wondering what the HESI scores and GPAs were for the people who have been accepted into FSU nursing program previously. Trying to find out if I have a chance or if I should just apply to my local community college and do it the LONG way lol. I really want to get in!
- 0Jan 12, '10 by CrazyCatLadyRNto be honest, people telling you their scores and gps would probably cause you more stress than anything. trust me...I was there last year. playing that game is not a good one. besides that there are a variety or scores they let in. there were people with really high gpas and mediocre scores that got in and then there were people with the bare minimum. it really just depends. the whole admission process is kind of a mystery to all nursing students because sometimes you just don't understand why certain people get in. if anything....do REALLY good in A&P 1 and 2 as well as the labs. your science gpa is really important. I do know that everyone who got in did have awesome science grades. and after getting through term 1 I can tell you that pathophysiology is wayyyyy harder than A&P. you really have to know your A&P to do well.
