Let's Just Leave That Sony-Dumped Steve Jobs Project in the Big Screen Recycling Bin
Features By Kate Erbland on November 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentOn the surface, the news is strange: an Aaron Sorkin-penned script — an ambitious one, to boot! — about one of the modern world's great visionaries just can't get made. But upon closer examination, it seems clear that Sony's Steve Jobs biopic was never going to pan out. With the news (via Variety) that Sony has effectively tossed their long-gestating project into a teensy, tiny trash can somewhere (perhaps someone just slid their mouse over an icon, clicked, held, and moved?), it seems as if this feature may never come to fruition. News that Universal may pick up the feature is initially heartening, but we've got a better idea: just don't make it. Or, perhaps more accurately — and yes, far less salaciously — just don't make it as is.
A Brief History of Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs Biopic That Just Can't Compute
Features By Kate Erbland on October 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentRemember way, way back in 2012, when it seemed as if we were due to get not one, but two whole Steve Jobs biopics? There was going to be the super-serious, well-researched one with a bold script by Aaron Sorkin, and then also an indie feature penned by a total Hollywood outsider that starred a dude from That '70s Show. It was a wonderful time, one that offered something for truly everyone. It didn't pan out. Sure, the Ashton Kutcher-starring Jobs was made (even opening at Sundance!), but Sorkin's film is still in limbo, thanks to a slow cycle through directors (as of this count, just two, but two big ones) and its inability to lock down a leading man. Last set to be directed by Danny Boyle with his Beach star Leonardo DiCaprio on board to play Jobs, the Sony film has now lost DiCaprio (the one actor who was ever officially attached to the film), yet another bump in an increasingly beleaguered road. So what happened? Well, all this stuff.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Danny Boyle to Re-Team for Steve Jobs Biopic
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on April 21, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe last time we saw Leonardo DiCaprio in a Danny Boyle movie, he was in an internet cafe checking his email. That wouldn't be such a striking image in most movies, but it is in The Beach, a feature released in 2000 in which the actor spends most of the running time in a secret, self-sustaining Southeast Asia island utopia. And now it's an interesting place for the actor and director to have left off because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, their next collaboration is probably going to involve a lot computers, and there will likely also be a very significant piece of the movie set in 2000, which is when Apple began work on a little something called iTunes. Yeah, that's right, this reunion will be for the Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin that David Fincher recently departed. Cue the photoshops of Leo in a black turtleneck. Wait, never mind, there's the one taken by Terry Richardson for GQ right over here.
David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin to Sweep 'Jobs' Under the Rug with Their Own Steve Jobs Film
In Development By Samantha Wilson on February 26, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThink back all the way to 2013, when a biopic about a man named Steve Jobs surfaced starring Ashton Kutcher. Okay, now forget that Jobs ever existed because David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin would like to make another biopic about the Apple co-founder like right away, please, if that's okay with everyone. After tackling the story of one petulant billionaire technology boy king of Silicon Valley with The Social Network, the writing and directing duo would like to conquer the tale of Jobs, based on the best-selling biography written by Walter Isaacson that Sorkin has already finished adapting. Though the story of Apple's creation and Job's rise to relevance is already pretty much public knowledge at this point, even if you didn't see Jobs last year or one of its thousands of inspirational promos, here's a refresher: Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak were free-wheelin' visonaries for a technological industry, who built Apple from the ground up — only for Jobs to have it all taken away when his power became too polarizing. Under Apple and throughout his pretty remarkable life, the tech giant helped revolutionize personal computers, cell phones and music. His volatile personality got him in trouble fairly frequently over the years, getting him ousted from his own company at one point, as mentioned, but he maintained an unapolagetic stance for all of his actions.

Ashton Kutcher Is Totally Stoked About How Much He Looks Like Steve Jobs in New 'jOBS' Photo
First Look By Kate Erbland on December 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile some of might still be holding out for that Aaron Sorkin-penned Steve Jobs biopic, there's still Joshua Michael Stern's Sundance-premiering, Ashton Kutcher-starring jOBS to look forward to. Yet, surely, no one is looking forward to this one quite as much as Kutcher, who looks tickled pink to not only be starring in what sounds like a quality film (sorry, Just Married!), but pretty excited by how much he looks like the Apple founder, as evidenced by a brand new still from the film. We can't wait for Kutcher to fill out those black turtlenecks later in the film, however. jOBS will serve as the Closing Night Film of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, and its official fest synopsis tells us: "The true story of one of the greatest entrepreneurs in American history, jOBS chronicles the defining 30 years of Steve Jobs' life. jOBS is a candid, inspiring and personal portrait of the one who saw things differently." The film also stars Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons, and Matthew Modine. The film was just picked up for Canadian distribution by Remstar Films, in collaboration with Entertainment One. The film also has Swiss and Italian distribution lined up. While there is no word yet on domestic distribution or release, it seems like a safe bet that won't last soon, as jOBS will surely sell very soon, likely before it even bows at Sundance. [ComingSoon]
Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs Movie Will Only Have Three Scenes and You Will Love Each of Them
In Development By Kate Erbland on November 15, 2012 | Comments (2)Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs film will consist of only three scenes – and you will love each of them equally, you will cherish their rapid-fire dialogue and wit, you will feel as if you know Steve Jobs and Apple when they end, and you will also probably have to try to remember what in the hell "NeXT" was. Reporting from their own "Hero Summit," The Daily Beast (via THR and /Film) shares some very interesting details regarding the set-up and structure of Sorkin's Sony-landed Jobs biopic. Namely, the project will consist of just three scenes. Pardon, Sorkin, can you expound? "This entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time." Uh huh. But wait! Sorkin's plan is actually, well, somewhat masterful (hell, the man is an Oscar winner). See, these won't be just three random scenes, but three thirty-minute scenes that are all set in the lead-up to three major Apple product launches. Those three launches? The original Macintosh computer (1984), the NeXT Cube (1990), and the original iPod (2001). Now if that doesn't illuminate both Jobs and Apple on one heck of a brilliant, microcosmic level, nothing else will.
If there's any outfit that celebrates the team sport aspect of filmmaking, it's Pixar. What began as the Graphics Group at LucasFilm has evolved into its own behemoth of wonder and magic. Not just pioneers of technology, they've sought to invent in order to put stories out into the world – using computer animation for the ancient purpose of spinning tales and crafting characters. Led by Ed Catmull, the production house (which was bought by Disney in 2006) boasts luminaries like John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich and many more. There newest film, Brave, is in theaters this week, so here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from RenderMan and company.

Movie News After Dark: Brian De Palma Keeps It Naughty and Bustin' Makes Steve Jobs Feel Good
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 21, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column that has been returned to the hands of its rightful owner, for now. But before we get to my triumphant return after a week of vegging out and eating BBQ, lets give a round of applause to Nathan Adams, Luke Mullen, Kate Erbland, Kevin Carr and Robert Fure, who did a wonderful job last week during guest week. I don't know about you, but I lizzed a few times while reading their work. Lets hope that I can bring the same verve to this week's return. We begin, of course, with naughty bits… Several new images from Brian De Palma's Passion this past week, courtesy of the Cannes Film Festival. That includes the above image, depicting a very devious, scantily clad Rachel McAdams burning a hole in my heart of hearts. It's the eyes that do it. And the stockings. Definitely the stockings.
Aaron Sorkin Confirmed for Sony's Steve Jobs Movie
In Development By Scott Beggs on May 16, 2012 | Comments (1)In October of last year, Sony picked up the rights to Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs. This was shortly after the Apple CEO's death and shortly before announcing that their shortlist of screenwriters included Aaron Sorkin – a writer who was once offered a Pixar gig by Jobs and who had previously helped adapt Isaacson's "Moneyball." Now, according to a Sony press release, Sorkin is officially on board for what's being creatively called Steve Jobs. This is stellar news, placing incredible talent next to incredible talent to write about an incredible mind. Isaacson's biography was thorough (and authorized), and the relative familiarity that Sorkin and Isaacson have (alongside the screenwriter's past dealings with Jobs) make this team uniquely qualified to deliver a compelling telling worthy of the modern icon. One thing they don't have? Ashton Kutcher. Which raises the question: with all the talent in the room, what actor deserves a shot at bringing Jobs back to life on the big screen?
Ashton Kutcher Doing Steve Jobs Cosplay For Biopic 'Get Inspired' [Photos]
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDoes that look like Steve Jobs to you? Five Star Institute is hoping it will, but that's not the most important question. The most important, is whether Ashton Kutcher will actually make a believable Steve Jobs beyond the cosmetic layers. Isn't that the real worry for Jobs: Get Inspired? That this movie about a recent monumental figure will be plagued by the third of two and a half men? That there will be an inescapable television quality to the whole thing? With Kutcher in the lead and Swing Vote director Joshua Michael Stern at the helm, it seems like an icon like Apple's former CEO deserves a lot better. Check out the pictures alongside the source and judge for yourself:
Ashton Kutcher to Play Steve Jobs; Apparently This is Really Happening
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 2, 2012 | Comments (2)Variety's Jeff Sneider swears this story is not an April Fool's joke. If it is, he's gone quite far to make it happen. For one, Variety isn't exactly the type of publication one would call "playful," nor is The Hollywood Reporter, who also confirmed the following story. As it stands, Ashton Kutcher has been cast to play a young Steve Jobs in the indie film Jobs, which Swing Vote helmer Joshua Michael Stern will direct from a script by Matt Whiteley. The film is said to follow the years between Steve Jobs' founding of Apple to his exile from the company and his return, which ultimately spawned the current resurgence that has led Apple to become the most valuable company on the face of the planet. It's an interesting bit of casting, as Kutcher certainly resembles a young Steve Jobs, but its unknown yet whether or not he can actually become Mr. Jobs. Time will tell, we suppose. It's worth noting also that Sony Pictures is developing its own Steve Jobs biopic, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson. As it turns out, Steve Jobs is about to be the new Snow White.

Review: 'Eames: The Architect and The Painter' Offers A Beautiful Journey Through American Design
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on November 18, 2011 | Comments (4)Modern American design and its history have become major preoccupations within contemporary cosmopolitan circles. Gary Hustwit recently finished his third documentary on the subject, Mad Men makes us nostalgically long for clean copy and clear utility, and the death of Steve Jobs brought forth considerations of the important connections between user-friendliness, sleek aesthetics, and the construction of products around human intuition. Making the case that we have still yet to exhaust what continually proves to be a fascinating and increasingly relevant subject, Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey's historical documentary Eames: The Architect and The Painter traverses the fascinating life of a couple whose contributions broadly determined what modern postwar American life looked and felt like. As narrator James Franco romantically points towards the beginning of the film, Charles Eames was an architect who never got his license, and Ray Eames was a painter who rarely painted. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of their influential lives was that they rarely operated within the confinements of either of these titles. They couldn't be pigeonholed as architects, marketers, filmmakers, etc,. And as such, their work reflected an impending new world of convergence where art, commerce, and visual culture all became deeply related during the second half of the twentieth century. The many lives they influenced can be evidenced by the occupational variety of well-regarded professional people who lend their sound bites to the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Eames including filmmaker Paul Schrader, TED founder Richard Saul Wurman, and architect Kevin Roche.
Culture Warrior: Occupy Hollywood
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 8, 2011 | Comments (2)One of the great misconceptions about Hollywood is that it is a liberal institution. Several false assumptions inform this misconception: thinking of "Hollywood" as a monolithic entity in any way besides its shared corporate infrastructure, confusing public endorsements of celebrity politicians by celebrity movie stars as political activism, thinking that left-leaning consumers of movies see Hollywood as representing their political beliefs in any way, selectively reading a limited number of texts (e.g., Green Zone "proves" Hollywood's liberalism, but every superhero movie ever isn't proof of its conservatism), and, most importantly, thinking that the most public figures associated with Hollywood (i.e., stars and filmmakers) are Hollywood. This last point I think is one that has continued to be the least considered when such straw man critiques are drawn, because Hollywood here is equated only with its most visible figures who overshadow its intricate but also not-so-shrouded political economy. It's no mistake that despite the fluctuating numbers of major and minor Hollywood studios in the past 100 years, the most powerful studios, like the biggest banks in the nation, have been referred to as "The Big Five." And indeed, to the surprise of no one, both Big Fives have had and are continuing a lucrative relationship with one another. Hollywood's agenda, of course, has always been profit, and the representatives of this ideology are not George Clooney and Matt Damon, but Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal (Chairman/CEO & Co-Chairman, Sony/Columbia), Stephen Blairson (CEO, 20th Century Fox), Brad Grey (Chairman/CEO, Paramount), Ronald Meyer […]
Is There a Better Screenwriter for the Steve Jobs Biopic Than Aaron Sorkin?
In Development By Scott Beggs on October 25, 2011 | Comments (1)The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Sony has gathered a shortlist of screenwriters for its Steve Jobs biopic, and that the chief name among them is Aaron Sorkin's. Considering his track record and recent success, along with the type and high profile of the project, he might just be the best possible choice out there to capture the balance between jargon and jangling heartstrings. The movie will be based on the book by Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson, but no definite decision has been made on who will be writing it, and it's unclear as to whether Sorkin is even interested considering he personally knew the subject of the film and has a brand new television project to keep him busy. On the other hand, a movie of this magnitude and emotionality (considering how recently Jobs passed away) might be the kind of challenge needed to attract Sorkin. For some reason, The American President comes to mind. In that, Sorkin crafted a flawed character that was still a major public figure and the central presence in a triumphant story. The tones might be different, but the potential is there for similarities. Maybe a blend of Social Network and American President? Who knows. Either way, Sorkin is a strong choice (if not the strongest).
Culture Warrior: Steve Jobs and the Cinema of Invention
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on October 11, 2011 | Comments (1)Amongst the many reactions to Steve Jobs's death last week, I found one comparison that people drew to be quite compelling. In order to find a fitting historic analogy to illustrate the cultural significance of Jobs's life, comparisons ran the gamut from Nikola Tesla to, erm, John Lennon ("think different," I guess?). But several people, including, Roger Ebert, brought to light continuities with Thomas Edison. Edison, like Jobs, was an industrialist: part inventor, mostly capitalist. But specific to his own life, Edison spent most of his career securing patents and making improvements to existing technologies rather than building something from scratch. Edison's reputation associates him with a great deal more invention than he was actually involved in. I'm not trying to be cynical about Jobs. Far from it. In fact, I've been more than a little annoyed with the backlash to consumer mourning about Jobs than any initial hyperbole associated with Jobs's death in the first place. I don't give a flying shit about executives in pretty much any industry, but saying "he's just a CEO" does not negate the great intellectual worth and cultural interest of Jobs himself. Jobs, like Edison, developed a cult of personality that extended well beyond the person.

What is our galaxy's halo made of, and how was it formed?
What is the halo around the Milky Way made of? And why is it there? How did it get there?
The halo is a (nearly) spherical region surrounding the galaxy (like the diffuse light around the heads of saints, not like the yellow rings around angels' heads in cartoons), made up mostly of dark matter. Dark matter is called dark because it does not radiate brightly enough to be observed. Because its radiation is not observed, the dark matter is studied through its gravitational interaction with light passing by, an effect known as "gravitational lensing". This suggets the dark matter is made up of "MACHO's" (MAssive Compact Halo Objects) and "WIMP's" (don't blame me, I didn't name them--Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). MACHO's are familiar matter, like dead stars and eggbeaters, and possibly some particles that have not been detected yet. WIMP's are purely theoretical particles and are like neutrinos in that they rarely interact, but unlike neutrinos they can be extremely heavy. The makeup of galactic haloes is important to cosmology, since much of the mass of the universe is in galactic haloes, and how the universe evolves depends strongly on how much of each sort of dark matter there is. It is the subject of enthusiastic study.
Not all of the matter is dark. The halo is home to some ancient star clusters, known as globular clusters. They are known to be old because their stars contain low levels of heavy elements, which weren't present in the young universe and were built up over time in supernovae. The clusters move about the galactic nucleus in (nearly) random orbits.
So how did it get there? Well, it seems to be a remnant from the formation of the galaxy. Some of the stars are fossils from that time, and the lack of free gas means no new star formation. Other stars were taken from small galaxies that were disrupted by our galaxy, an idea suggested by some stripes of stars in the halo, like galactic roadkill.

text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Problems Genital Herpes During Pregnancy All the info you want on how genital herpes can affect you and baby. What's the best way to treat genital herpes during pregnancy?You'll probably be prescribed an antiviral medication to take as you near your due date. Taking it can decrease your chances of a flare-up during delivery, which will prevent your baby from contracting herpes."If we know a woman has a history of genital herpes, we'll tend to give her acyclovir, an antiviral medicine, starting around 34 or 36 weeks, to try to suppress any episodes of herpes so she can have a vaginal birth," says Sharon Phelan, MD, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of New Mexico.If you do happen to have an active infection near the time of birth, your doctor may recommend you deliver via c-section to prevent passing the virus on to baby. What can I do to prevent genital herpes?A monogamous relationship with a herpes-free partner is your best bet. If your partner has a history of herpes, it's important to use a condom every time you have sex, because herpes can be spread even when there's no active infection. Avoid sex completely when your partner has a herpes outbreak. You can also ask about antiviral medication for your partner.If you're not infected with herpes and not in a monogamous relationship, avoid sex altogether in the final weeks of pregnancy to avoid a herpes infection. What do other pregnant moms do when they have genital herpes?"I haven't had an outbreak in years, but I'll be getting a prescription at my appointment on Monday, just in case. Pregnancy can affect your immune system, so even if you haven't had an outbreak, you might get one with a lowered immune system.""My doctor suggested that I get on Valtrex for the last month of my pregnancy just to avoid an outbreak. Well, I've been having some discomfort and weird stabbing pains down there since Monday, and finally, today I felt that I'd had enough and called my doctor. I told the nurse what I was feeling and that I was scared that I might be having an outbreak. She said she would get with the doctor and call me about coming in to get checked and possibly going ahead and getting on Valtrex now instead of waiting.""I used to take medicine daily as a preventative measure, but once I found out I was pregnant, my doctor had me stop, and he said that I didn't have to take it unless I was having an outbreak, and then it was safe."

We also work to ensure all of our programs have an educational component to allow people to learn what it takes to make a no-kill community.
The creation of a no-kill community is based on the development and implementation of a community wide comprehensive animal welfare plan. The Dugan Foundation, in collaboration with local shelters and rescues and hundreds of passionate volunteers, has been leading the development of this comprehensive plan effort since 2003. The decrease in euthanized homeless animals reflects our effort. With all the work that has been done, it is dwarfed by all the work that needs to be done.
The plan includes: high volume no cost spay neuter services to decrease the number of animals coming into shelters; high volume adoption events to increase the number of animals leaving a shelter; intensive re-homing and retention services to keep the animals in their current homes; long term care in the form of a Sanctuary for those that are not adopted; increasing the strength and capacity of all smaller rescues and shelters through grant giving so that they can do more; and outreach in every form, to teach and train and advise on appropriate companion animals care and the responsibilities that come with the privilege.
Dugan Foundation holds their monthly board meetings, the second Wednesday of each month at:
Start time: 6 p.m.
End time: 8 p.m.
All board meetings are open to the public.
If you are planning on attending please call 253.572.7700.

State seeks to keep post-Irene AOT hiresBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 07,2013MONTPELIER With recovery from Tropical Storm Irene still underway in parts of the state, the Shumlin administration is asking lawmakers to extend the terms of 38 temporary transportation workers brought on in the wake of the 2011 floods.
Secretary of Transportation Brian Searles this week told the House Appropriations Committee that district garages across the state still have their hands full with more than 200 Irene-related infrastructure projects that have yet to be closed out.
In the meantime, he said, storms between Memorial Day and July 4 this year resulted in nearly 400 additional repair projects on the state and town transportation systems. Searles said the limited-service employees hired after Irene who do both labor and administrative tasks will be critical to those projects.
There will be another significant piece of our budget dealing with just Irene in our transportation bill, Searles said of the fiscal 2015 budget proposal Gov. Peter Shumlin will unveil next month.
When Searles testified before the same committee two years ago, he said the 38 positions would be paid for mostly by federal aid and that they would expire after two years. But Scott Rogers, who oversees statewide maintenance functions at the Agency of Transportation, said the employees have come to play a vital role in disaster recovery, especially for municipal road departments that often lack the staff and expertise to navigate the bureaucracy at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
One of the things we learned during Irene is that the towns in general are not staffed up well to handle such a disaster, or to work with FEMA in particular, Rogers said. Some have robust staffs, some dont. And they need us to really help shepherd them through the project.
Rogers said the limited-service positions brought onto the rolls in late 2011 have played a central role in providing that guidance.
I cant state enough how important this service is to the towns, he said.
Searles said the positions would cost about $2 million over the next two fiscal years. But he said federal assistance will cover about half that, and that he has enough state revenues to make up the difference without hurting other agency operations.
Searles said the employees have become valuable members of the agency team and that his plan is to fold them into permanent government slots as longtime workers at the agency retire over the next two years.
Searles and Rogers said holding onto the workers will help resolve not only the disasters of the past but also any future major weather events.
I think everybodys feeling is were getting more events, and more intense events, Rogers said. So the more we can do to be ready for it, the better off were going to be.

She's an affectionate companion who loves being with her family. She's not recommended for homes where she'll be left alone for long periods at a time and would enjoy other pets if you had them.The Maltese Shih Tzu is currently one of the most popular hybrids in Australia and is a pleasure to own.

Other Pets at Aching Hearts Pet Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kenize, a batlett Shih Tzu/Maltese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Maltese for sale in batlett, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Maltese puppy from a breeder in batlett.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in batlett already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a batlett breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu/Maltese breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in batlett paves the way for another one to be saved.

The evolutionary pace of consumer empowerment is likely to accelerate with the introduction of intent casting, whereby consumers advertise their intention to purchase a given product.
As we strive to remain interconnected via an array of expensive mobile gadgets, the average value of the belongings we carry around with us is increasing. A threat for consumers - and an opportunity for insurers - most of these items lie uninsured.

With all of the articles out there on resolutions for 2011, it was hard not to think about the inception of Deaf Politics (DP) and how far it has come. While the idea was conceived in April of last year and I started off with Twitter and Facebook, it wasn't until October that I really hit the ground running. To illustrate, here's a quick overview on DP's progress from October to December 2010:
- 31 blog posts, covering a wide range of topics, were published
- A total of 10 different people contributed to the blog
- Steady increase in followers/fans on Twitter/Facebook
- Thousands in blog readership
So, I got to thinking about what I'd like to happen in 2011 and I decided I would create resolutions and a long-term plan on how to make each goal a reality. The following are what I'd love to accomplish and with continuous support from you, it is possible:
Blog posts
In order to keep readers engaged and informed, it is a goal to have at least 10 blog posts a month. This brings to a minimum of 120 posts in 2011.
For 2011, it is my goal to have 50 (or more) people contribute to the blog. A long list brings differing perspectives and a diverse range of topics.
Readership and fan base
Currently, there are 1,175 fans on Facebook and 550 followers on Twitter. I want to expand the numbers to 2,200 fans on Facebook and to over 1,000 followers on Twitter.
Launch of the official website
The specific date is uncertain. However, it is my goal to launch the official website this year. Over the coming months, I will keep you all abreast of the status as well post the occasional sneak peeks.
It has always been my dream to mold Deaf Politics into a cherished source of information accessible to anyone in the deaf and hard of hearing community. In 2010, attempts at accessibility were not up to standard. For 2011, I am committed to ensuring that the vlogs are captioned or, at the very least, committed to providing transcripts.
Here's to the new year and all that it'll bring!
If you are interested in contributing to the blog, please do not hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jessica Thurber graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2006 with a BFA in Graphic Design and is the founder of Deaf Politics.

It's sad to see all these people worrying about a game they don't even like. Meanwhile.. real gamers are worrying about games they DO like.
Ah yes, another 'bologna sandwich' for the gaming industry. Hello? We do like other foods
Uplink looks like the snow map in the 1st black ops, without the snow of course.
Why does xbox get the DLCs one month before PS3? The new DLC will come out four days after PS3 gets the new camos.
Am I the only one that hated the black ops series?
Call of duty 4 was the only good game in the franchise. I miss that game.
Why does it look so good. My blops2 looks nothing like that. Well, it has been like six month since I played it.
@Hardstyler2012 i am with u bro lets do it.
Battlefield 4 | Mirrors Edge | Call of Juarez Gunslinger | Metro Last Light
@STrugglingFool same here.
if you are taking money for DLC, make something new, it is really annoying how they are milking these stuff. also there was that nuke town map as a "special" edition for the last cod.
@STrugglingFool that's the first thought that came to my mind when I saw that, glad to know I'm not the only one.
@cj5432 Microsoft pays Activision to release their dlcs one month before PS3 and PC.
@marcheegsr COD4 was in my book the best all around COD, good campaign and multiplayer was fresh at the time. WaW, descent campaign (felt rushed), fun multiplayer, dismemberment (which i don't know why they didn't bring that back), and of course zombies. MW2 for me had an ok story, multiplayer was probably perfected except when everyone used noobtubes. After that it was really down hill for me. BO really had a main character I liked and the campaign was pretty good, but multiplayer was boring and I hated the maps except nuketown. MW3 i hated and wished I never spent money on it even though it was cheap on amazon. However I did like the support killstreaks and hey the campaign was better than BF3. After MW3 i stopped COD all together. I'll still keep an eye on it but I'm tired of it
@marcheegsr yes CoD4 on the PC was the best, also United Offensive and CoD2 had awesome MP the rest is kinda mediocre, MW2-3 and BloPs1-2 are fun but their MP gets old pretty fast and I hate the stupid matchmaking system on the PC.
@geckobnut @STrugglingFool Good thing I don't buy DLC. Oh wait I do, with BF3 I did. I pledge that, I will not buy any COD DLC.
@AskanTale @cshourihan @CincoToes Actually it's a common advertisement method to show the PC version.
@digits52 @cshourihan @CincoToes Yawn, looks to me like the same rehashed comment for the thousandth time. SMH.
@cshourihan @CincoToes idiots. it jus look good because they dont show the HUD. they jus show scene by scene without hud and cinamtic for it to look good. its common practice for advertisement method. it dont matter what platform its on.
@cshourihan @CincoToes * yawn * looks to me like the same rehashed game for the dozenth time.. geez .. smh

I'm having an issue related with the Knowledge Management navigation, its not possible to navigate into any folder or item in KM.
In the logs I found the folowing error:
No xsrf token found in the session associated with the request[com.sap.portal.prt.util.PortalServletRequestWrapper@538f7857].
I've already increased the severity of Logging Categories and Tracing Categories but no information is shown.
This issue is related with updates regarding the NW 7.3 Support Package 5. If every component is at the Patch Level 0, it works, but after an update to latest patch levels I'm having this problem.
Hi ,
> If every component is at the Patch Level 0, it works, but after an update to latest patch levels I'm having this problem.
If this is reproducable, it sounds like a real bug in the current patch combination for SP5. That would mean: You should open an OSS message.
Best regards
PS: It works for me (and many other) on SP5, but probably I don't have the latest patches installed.
Hello João,
Have you really upgraded every component to the most recent Patch level for SP5? The reason I ask is because there was a known issue if you only updated certain components and not others, have a look at note 1675848 and see if that resolves the issue for you.
Kind regards,
The note did help!
The FRAMEWORK EXTENSIONS 7.30 SC Patch Level update was missing.
Thank you so much!

A new scenario for Kingsburg! |
Kingsburg | Published 05 June 2009 |
On the northern edge of the Realm lies a valley inhabited by several belligerent goblin tribes.

As these vicious creatures are ravaging the lands, the King has sent forth more soldiers, but the fate of your realm still is unclear. Can you establish a thriving community and fend off the advances of these green-skinned parasites? Find out with Goblin Valley!
Goblin Valley (pdf, 135 kb)

Reviewed Mini Chocolate-Meringue Cupcakes
Mar 17, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I've baked these cupcakes twice. The first time I made them regular size and the second time I made them as minis. Each time the tops were flaky but the flavor was great. I loved the cinnamon and choc combo! They were moist too. I understand that technique is really important. Any suggestions about how to avoid the crackling on top? I'm teachable........

Cottage Scottish Tourist Board Rating 4 STAR The 4 STAR quality grading awarded by VisitScotland (formerly the Scottish Tourist Board) to this annually inspected property allows us officially to describe it as " Excellent " accommodation (Inspected and graded in September 2013, Steading Cottage scored within the 75 - 86% Quality Assurance range for 4 STAR Scottish Tourist Board accommodation). |
Sleeps 6 |
Click on the Camera icon for the Steading Gallery, a sequence of larger interior photos | ||||||
The photograph suggests a deceptively small interior. It's not. It really is spacious inside. This is the cottage for those happy to be at the heart of the farm. Creatively transformed in 1998 from dereliction into a wonderful home, it is white, light, spacious, inviting and warm with its multi-fuel stove and oil-fired central heating. Set back from the road with a small front garden, this detached cottage nestles right beside farm buildings and a field. The reduced rental reflects the possibility that despite thick walls and double glazing you may hear tractors, cattle or perhaps experience the odd farm whiff outside! Curiously enough this has proved to be somewhat of an attraction rather than a negative, especially to youngsters. The property now has entrance gates (not shown in the photo). This means that it can be totally enclosed if you have small children or pets. Layout: Two storey with an upstairs family bedroom but also ground floor accommodation, a double and single bedroom, equally suitable for the able-bodied, but also for disabled wheelchair users or those with mobility problems. Entry is through a roomy porch / utility room. Large enough for all your fishing or golf gear, bicycles, or car-roof rack, it's just as ideal as a temporary home for your dog for just a few hours as it can be shut off from the rest of the house. To the left is an open plan lofty living / dining area with a granite-topped island unit dividing this area from the fully integrated, red alder kitchen, as shown in the photos within the Steading Gallery Page. A focal point at the far end of the living area is the multi-fuel stove for those who love the ambience of a real fire in addition to the oil-fired central heating. The other focal point adjacent to this is the 2011 upgrade to a 32" LED flatscreen TV. To the right are a double bedroom with ensuite shower & w.c., and a small single bedroom. Opposite is a wheel-in shower-room. This bathroom with power shower, bath, W.C, basin and rail grabs is ideal for a wheelchair-bound guest. The floor is non-slip. Please note that the double bed shown in the photo to the right has now been upgraded and instead there is a splendid kingsize oak bed. Wide stairs lead up to a small gallery, above the kitchen and overlooking the living area. Beyond, behind the door, is a spacious dormer / attic with two single beds and one double. A child's paradise with plenty of floor space to play on. And you can pop into an adjacent room with toilet and handbasin to spare nocturnal trips downstairs! The good and the not-so-good about Steading Cottage: Steading Cottage lends itself particularly well to 2 couples sharing as the two double bedrooms are quite well apart, affording family privacy. And there is a single bedroom beside one and two singles in the family room upstairs. As this is a detached cottage, with no neighbours except for cows, this is an ideal cottage for budding musicians, howling babies, and those who like their music at concert pitch! The roomy, quarry tiled, porch area is also particularly useful for storing all your fishing or golfing tackle, or leaving a dog for short periods as it is separated by a door from the main house. The garden is on the small side and lacks privacy being bordered by the farm and the passing traffic. Not ideal for footballers for this reason but fine to sit out in. Recent Comments:( taken from TripAdvisor ) "it had the most impressive amount of holiday information I have ever seen filed neatly away in dozens of folders." "We found the cottage on the Internet and it was everything it said it was, and more. The owner, G, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The cottage was darling and had everything you could imagine, right down to a sewing kit!" You may wish

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Like gs said, everyone should keep in mind that the clans decide when the matches are played. Flexible match times and roster sizes, with a mix of all of the maps, modes and loadouts. There's really no reason to pass on this.
Here's the Facebook page: Starhawk World Domination. Clan leaders should make an effort to join this group. Message Damon (the admin of the group and the tournament) and let him know your PSN and that you and your clan would like to participate.

Kroger set its sights on the growing mid-Atlantic markets with the purchase of Matthews, N.C.-based Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc.
The $2.5 billion deal, approved by the board of directors of both companies, awaits approval by regulatory agencies, and further solidifies the Cincinnati-based company's position as the largest grocery retailer in the U.S.
Harris Teeter's 212 stores give Kroger more than 2,600 locations in 34 states and the District of Columbia.
Harris Teeter reportedly had been shopping for a buyer since early this year. The deal includes the company's distribution centers for grocery, frozen and perishables in Greensboro, N.C. and Indian Trail, N.C.
click image to zoomAmber BrodaKroger officials said Harris Teeter's perishables departments, like this one from a store in Charlotte, N.C., were a major draw for the retailer. Following closing of the transaction, Harris Teeter will continue to operate as a subsidiary of The Kroger Co., led by the company's management team, said Mike Schlotman, Kroger senior vice president and chief financial officer during an investor call held July 9. There are no plans to make changes to senior management, and Harris Teeter's headquarters remains in Matthews.
"There are many things we think we can learn from Harris Teeter, especially in the fresh category," Schlotman said. "The Harris and Teeter families founded those chains independently and that name resonates in the markets they're in."
Schlotman said Kroger has a history of acquiring regional chains while maintaining their strengths in the market, dating back to the company's acquisition of Dillon's in the 1980s.
James Tenser a Tuscon, Ariz.-based retail analyst with VSN Strategies agreed.
"Kroger, historically, has added other banners and done a pretty good job of not messing with them," he said. "You can look at Fred Meyer, King Soopers and Ralphs for examples. They seem to understand the value of the brand equity. I think Kroger can help run Harris Teeter better."
Harris Teeter's stores typically run on the higher end of the Kroger spectrum, and Kroger plans to continue with this strategy, Schlotman said.
"They're priced a little higher than an average Kroger store, but it's not something the type of customer they have will be turned off by," Tenser said. "Their margin structure is different than ours. They actually have a bigger penetration in a lot of the fresh categories than we do and, and that's one of the things we're excited about that we can learn from them."

[1751] Differential Expression of Spectrin Isoforms in Benign and Malignant Epithelial Tumors
Y Wang, J Albanese, H Ratech. Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY
Background: Spectrin is a rod-like, multifunctional molecule composed of an α-subunit and a β-subunit. There are multiple spectrin isoforms that can bind actin and associate with other proteins to help integrate structure and function in complex tissues. Because embryonic liver fodrin, a variant of β-spectrin, has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, we hypothesized that various spectrin isoforms might be involved in other epithelial tumors. We report the first comprehensive study of the expression and localization of spectrin isoforms in normal human epithelial tissues and in their benign and malignant counterparts.
Design: We retrospectively studied the expression of spectrin isoforms αI, αII, βI, βII and βIII by immunohistochemical staining of normal epithelial tissues as well as benign and malignant neoplasms from 66 specimens involving breast, colon, kidney, liver, prostate, thyroid, uterine cervix and transitional epithelium of urinary bladder.
Results: The majority of normal epithelial cell types expressed αII spectrin. Normal uterine cervical squamous mucosa expressed αII spectrin in the basal and parabasal cells, but not in the keratinized superficial layers; the pattern for βI spectrin was the inverse for αII spectrin. For example, we found βI spectrin in the superficial, but not in the basal epithelium of the uterine cervix. Compared to their normal epithelial counterparts, there was loss of αII spectrin in papillary thyroid carcinoma, in clear cell renal carcinoma and in invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Expression of βI spectrin was limited to normal hepatocytes, transitional umbrella cells of the bladder, type II pneumocytes of the lung, mature superficial squamous epithelium of the uterine cervix, and lobular and ductal epithelium of the breast. In contrast to the absence of staining for βI spectrin in normal biliary ductules, thyroid follicles and renal tubules, we detected aberrant expression of βI spectrin in biliary ductal carcinoma, thyroid papillary carcinoma and renal clear cell carcinoma. Spectrin isoforms βII and βIII were universally present in both benign and malignant epithelial tumors.
Conclusions: Loss or gain of specific spectrin isoforms occur both during normal epithelial maturation and in some examples of neoplastic transformation. This suggests the possibility of a significant role for spectrin isoforms in carcinogenesis.

Uh-oh, could our favorite new show "The Voice" be nothing but the drama behind-the-scenes? According to new reports, judge Christina Aguilera "has taken difficult to a whole new level" with her behavior.
The story claims fellow judge Adam Levine is particularly upset with her "above-it-all attitude" and that that the crew is rallying behind him because they "can't stand her" either.

People tend to make a lot of assumptions about working from home, and what it'll be like. Some of them, such as the "you'll save time on commuting" one, are absolutely true. Others – well, not so much, really. In fact, some of the assumptions people make about working from home are just plain wrong. Here are just five of them:
1. You'll be able to set your own hours
This is true to an extent, in that people who work from home tend to have more control over their working hours than people who work for someone else, but only to an extent. The truth is that most clients will expect you to be available during normal working hours, and, for most people, that means Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. So while it's true that people who work from homecan choose to have a lie in anytime they feel like it, they shouldn't be surprised if that lie in is disturbed by a ringing phone at 9am on a Monday morning.
2. You'll spend more time with your family
Again, this is true to an extent, but only if by "spending time with the family" you mean "being in the same house at the same time as them". Of course, it is possible to manage your workload in such a way that you have oodles of free time in which to take the dog for long walks and spend time playing with the kids, but I don't know many freelancers who've managed it. Most freelancers I know actually work longer hours than people who're employed by someone else, and many of those with children have been forced to employ a child minder for a few hours each day or week to allow them to get the work done. While you may not fall into that category, if you do, you can forget all about those long walks in the countryside and quality time with the kids.
3. Your house will be spotless
When I first started freelancing from home, I fondly imagined that all of those chores I was struggling to keep up with when I worked for someone else would suddenly be done with not even the slightest bit of fuss. No more would I rush home at lunchtime to empty the washing machine and clean the floors! No longer would I return home, exhausted, only to be faced with a mountain of ironing and a sink filled with dirty dishes! Why, I would have time to cook meals from scratch! And bake! Um, well, not really. Now that I work from home and have to be both boss and employee (not to mention secretary, accountant and receptionist), I need a cleaner/gardener/ironing service more than ever. Go figure.
4. You will earn lots of money, without doing much work
Some people do earn lots of money by working from home – this much is true. Those people, though, are working very, very hard indeed. Trust me. They're probably working much harder than the people who drive to an office every day, and if you confronted them with the statement above, they'd laugh their asses off at it. If you think that you'll be able to sit in front of the TV, happily stuffing envelopes and being paid for it, think again. Every single "work from home without actually doing much in the way of work" scheme I've ever encountered has been a scam. If you want to make money by working from home, you'll have to put in the hours – and lots of them.
5. You'll get more work done, because you won't have all of the distractions of working in an office
You'd think that, wouldn't you? Offices can be horrible, noisy places, with phones ringing, colleagues chattering and people coming and going non-stop. Unfortunately, your home can be exactly the same. Once your friends and family realise that you're at home all day, your time will no longer be your own. They will "pop in" for coffee. They will call you up for a chat. They'll ask you to babysit, or do a grocery run, or give them a lift somewhere, because "you're just sitting at home all day, anyway". For some reason, other people find it very difficult to understand that someone who works from home actually haswork to do, and this will drive you crazy very, very quickly. Of all of the problems I've ever encountered in the time I've been working from home, this one has to be the hardest to deal with – and the most infuriating.
It's not all bad, though. Despite these five myths, I still love working from home, and wouldn't have it any other way. If you want to do it, go for it – just remember it may not be quite the easy option people expect it to be.
