And the guy teaches law. It's so embarrassing.
In today's WSJ, Reynolds, part of the right-wing blogosphere which cheered press-bashing for eight years during the Bush years, is suddenly very, very concerned that the White House has critiqued Fox News and called it out as being not a legitimate news outlet. Suddenly Reynolds is terrified by the fact that White House officials have publicly expressed an opinion about Fox News.
Playing dumb, Reynolds pretends the White House is trying to "dictate" what's news. But that's standard practice by now. That's been the clichéd talking point for weeks. On that front, Reynold is merely saying whatever everyone else has already said. (Congratulations!)
To actually prove his point about how terribly dangerous it is for White House aides to have an opinion about the press, Reynolds points to a controversy unfolding in Chicago [emphasis added]:
For the past several months, students at The Innocence Project, a program at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, have come under fire from Cook County, Ill. Prosecutors aren't happy with their habit of turning up evidence demonstrating that defendants have been wrongly convicted. They've allegedly exposed the wrongful conviction of Anthony McKinney, a Chicago man jailed for 31 years on a false confession.
Discomfited prosecutors have responded by subpoenaing everything related to the students' investigation about the McKinney case: notes, interview records and even classroom grades. According to the prosecutors, the students aren't journalists, but an "investigative agency." This is a distinction that has legal bite because journalists' notes are protected under an Illinois journalist shield law.
Wow, that is troubling. Students at a journalism program are uncovering important information and local law enforcement are hitting them with subpoenas.
But how is that apparent over-reach connected to the Obama administration? What on earth does that have to do with White House officials expressing an opinion about Fox News? Behold as the law professor plays dumb on an epic scale:
But they [prosecutors] may be excused for thinking that attacks on media critics are, in today's political era, business as usual. Indeed, they need look no farther than the White House, whose occupant has sometimes styled himself the nation's chief media critic. It is, after all, the Obama administration that declared that its critics at Fox News Channel are not real journalists, and that Fox is not a "legitimate news organization."
Got that? The administration has expressed an opinion about Fox News, and that's just like Chicago prosecutors issuing subpoenas and demanding journalism students turn over their notes and interview records. But how? Because the administration actually has a super-secret plan to criminalize journalism.
So dumb it hurts.
Fox News' hosts have been aggressively promoting today's anti-health care reform rally at Capitol Hill, so it's no surprise that they jumped to provide live coverage as soon as it started. Unfortunately, this left them with three minutes with their camera pointed at the rally's invocation, followed by hundreds of Republican representatives reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Perhaps aware that members of Congress praying and reciting the Pledge doesn't meet even Fox's standard for news, the network immediately cut away... to live coverage of a press conference about a rescued Florida baby. Is it possible that even Fox is getting embarrassed by this protest?
Meanwhile, MSNBC decided they wanted to cover the rally, going live just in time to show actor Jon Voight go after Obama's "connection to ACORN." Because Jon Voight hating Democrats is apparently news to someone. Minutes later, anchor Jeff Rosen aired a clip of Michelle Bachmann attacking the House Democrats' bill, then asked Republican Rep. Cynthia Loomis whether she agreed that the bill comes close to socialism. Loomis' response? "Don't take it from us, take it from The Wall Street Journal." This is degenerating into farce extremely quickly.
And why are Beck and BigGovernment, as well as the rest of the right-wing brigade, now clearly suggesting that Missouri law enforcement officials are covering up a crime? The fact-free crowd is impugning the integrity of Missouri prosecutors because they have the nerve to not go along with the right-wing fantasy that SEIU "thugs" savagely beat a man (nearly to death, according to some breathless reports) outside of a health care town hall forum in August. And yes, Andrew Breitbart claimed the thugs were sent directly from the White House.
That's a pretty serious accusation to make against the defenders of the law. So on what basis do Beck and BigGovernment make the claim? What facts do they present to suggest that Missouri law enforcement is covering up a crime? Um, did I mention it's Glenn Beck and BigGovernment?
Answer: Zero facts.
The right-wing's beloved tale of Kenneth Gladney has been dubious from the get-go. (See here, here, here, here, and here.) But now that it's been nearly three months and no formal charges have been filed in a case that was supposed to be an open-and-shut case of a brutal beating (it was caught on tape!), Beck and company have fallen back to their predictable Plan B: conspiracy theory!! i.e. The cops are in on it, too!!
"Why haven't charges been filed?" Beck demanded this week. "I would like to know what game is being played."
Specifically, the far-right, anti-law enforcement crowd suggests that because Buffy Wicks was part of Barack Obama's campaign in Missouri, and because Buffy Wicks now works in the White House, and because Buffy Wicks is kinda/sorta associated with the NEA, and because the Obama Missouri campaign once had a press conference where law enforcement officials were supposedly in attendance (Beck's still searching for the tape), that means Missouri law enforcement is now covering up the Gladney beating as a favor to Buffy Wicks. (Talk about a Superwoman!)
Conspiracy stenographer Matthew Vadum types up the nonsense for David Horowitz's Newsreal.
For the record, I have no idea if any charges will ever be filed. It's completely possible law enforcement authorities will ignore Gladney's rather odd tale for the simple reason that no provable crime was committed. But even if charges are filed some day, that means SEIU defendants will, of course, have a chance to clear their names, regardless of how Glenn Beck and BigGovernment wished our justice system worked.
What I do know is that the right-wing's selfish, and often comical, attempt to turn Kenneth Gladney into a political martyr continues to be a sad spectacle to watch.
Since Tuesday's elections, media figures have increasingly suggested that the President and Congress should set aside things like health care and energy reform in order to focus on the economy. As MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan put it yesterday: "Jobs are job one." Earlier today, another MSNBC anchor said "The debate is whether they should focus more on job creation instead of ambitious items on the President's agenda." Other examples abound.
But this doesn't really make much sense when you think about it. "The economy" isn't some narrow, discrete thing like turning off a kitchen faucet. It's more like building a house -- there are a lot of things that go into it; far more than just twisting a knob.
One of the big things that goes into the economy is ... Health care. Not only is health care spending a massive part of the economy, but inadequate access to health care has all kinds of ripple effects. A low-income worker who doesn't have health insurance gets sick, loses wages (no sick days, either) and eventually loses a job. That isn't just a public health issue, it's an economic issue; a jobs issue. (Earlier this year, for example, the White House Council of Economic Advisers estimated that "genuine health care reform" would save or create 500,000 jobs a year in the "short and medium run.") Likewise, energy policy has huge economic implications.
Saying that politicians should stop worrying about energy and health care and focus on the economy is like saying a homebuilder should stop screwing around with walls and build the damn house already: It isn't going to be much of a house without walls.
It's one thing to say elected officials should spend their time trying to address jobs and the economy rather than guns and abortion and gay marriage. Whether or not you agree with the prioritization, or agree that is necessary to choose, those are basically different things. But health care and the economy are fundamentally intertwined in a way that guns and the economy are not; it makes much less sense to say "forget about health care and focus on the economy."
So here's a challenge to journalists and pundits who insist the White House and Congress should forget about health care and energy to focus on the economy and jobs: Spell out what that means. What do you suggest they do to address the economy and jobs that doesn't involve health care or energy policy? Why will it be more effective? Or do you just expect them to pass some magical bill decreeing that the economy must be robust, as though it is a faucet to be effortlessly turned on and off?
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate voted to renew the government's $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers. Fox News' America's Newsroom - mind you, one of the channel's very serious and straight news programs - bashed the program by claiming it's so inefficient, even liberals oppose it:
STU VARNEY: Question, is it effective, and at what price? I'm going to quote for you the Brookings Institution study. Now, Brookings is left of center, they would normally be in favor of this kind of government program. They found that if you look at the houses which were really sold because of this home buyer credit, it cost $43,000 per home. Repeat, $43,000 per home.
That figure, by the way, is from Brookings* economic studies co-director Ted Gayer, who:
So in other words, your typical liberal policy wonk.
Now, you can certainly argue for and against the tax credit. (For what it's worth, the Senate voted to renew the program 98-0 - something left unmentioned by Varney.) But remember how Varney presented his criticism of the program: 'Hey viewer, I have ammunition against this big government program and it's even more powerful because it's from the liberals!'
Viewer deception, of course, is nothing new for Fox News hosts and reporters.
*Brookings has been ideologically described in a variety of ways - liberal, centrist, conservative - by news outlets. Indeed, Fox News' Shepard Smith has called Brookings "conservative leaning" (Studio B, 6/1/09). The L.A. Times wrote in response to the diverse ways it describes Brookings, "we should probably not be labeling" Brookings.
From Redstate.com managing editor Erick Erickson's Twitter feed:
Digby notes a question Andrea Mitchell asked David Axelrod yesterday, about whether Tuesday's Republican victories in two gubernatorial races will make it "much more difficult" to build a congressional coalition to vote for health care:
Andrea Mitchell: Is this going to make it much more difficult for you on the hill to build the coalitions for health care in the immediate future
and there may even be a vote this Saturday
do you think that Blue Dogs and moderates are going to be wary of the White House lead on this because they see these warning signs?
That reminded me of something Mitchell said a little earlier in yesterday's show: "There are warning signs here for him in term of building a coalition on health care ... because they're [the public] getting impatient."
This doesn't seem to make sense. If Tuesday showed us* that people are getting impatient for health care, shouldn't that make it easier to get the votes needed in congress to pass health care?
Over the last day and a half, it has frequently seemed that reporters reached the conclusion that the election results were bad news for health care reform, and then began desperately feeling around for an explanation for that conclusion. And so they end up with arguments like Mitchell's: People are getting impatient for health care reform ... which is bad news for health care reform!
* It probably didn't. We're taking about two governor's races and two congressional elections. Journalists are almost certainly reading too much into the results.
Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is holding an anti-health care reform protest today on Capitol Hill to revive the largely manufactured fervor of the August town halls and to tell Congress "to vote no to a government take-over of one-fifth of our economy." The slate of speakers and attendees include Republican congressional members, far-right radio host Mark Levin, who has equated the Senate Finance's health reform bill with "economic slavery," actor and frequent Fox News guest Jon Voight, and... Betsy McCaughey.
McCaughey's participation and consequent endorsement of the Bachmann-led opposition to health care reform really shouldn't come as much of surprise given the falsehoods, distortions, and outright lies that she has told about health care throughout the year. However, this event should serve as final notice to any in the media who still believe she is a credible health care expert.
She isn't.
Rick Moran at Right Wing Nut House, unloads on what he sees as the increasingly deranged push by right-wing bloggers and others in the far-right media to turn the GOP into a permanent minority status party by purging all but the true believers from its ranks.
Moran's post from earlier this week--a must read--opens with a bang:
What is it that possesses certain conservatives to fool themselves so spectacularly into believing that they can create a majority out of a minority?...In the case of far right conservatives who think that they can turn their meager numbers into a ruling majority all by themselves, the disconnect from reality would normally call for an intervention - except they reject anything from anybody who doesn't agree with them 100%.
Moran's description of anti-reason conservatives is priceless, as well:
Those who reject reality in favor of persecution complexes, wildly exaggerated hyperbole, and a frightening need for vengeance against their imagined "enemies."
Psst, Michelle, I think he's talking about you.
Who'da thunk?
It was the gem that on Tuesday night our (read: narcissistic) president watched an HBO documentary about himself, rather than following the results coming in from N.J., VA. and N.Y. The boys at Newsbusters got a thrill up their leg when they heard that one.
From (cough, cough) FNC news anchor Martha MacCallum:
"Robert Gibbs said, well, he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went...we know that Michelle and the girls went to the Miley Cyrus concert last night... So he's all alone in that big house, right? Nothing to do but sit back and watch - reminisce about the long campaign and watch HBO and the special."
Yeah, that's false. Even Newsbusters later conceded that Fox News had "misreported" the incident, which I guess is a nice way of saying Fox News made it up.
UPDATED: Here is video of Martha MacCallum's retelling of the phony story - which Rush Limbaugh also ran with -- followed by Major Garrett's explanation later in the day that he "misheard" Gibbs:

Saturday Science Links: January 31, 2015
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
What happens when evolutionary creationists, old-earth creationists, and Southern Baptist theologians sit down publicly and talk about origins? At the 2014 meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, these three groups decided to find out. This four-part series is adapted from the three-hour dialogue, entitled "A Conversation on Origins".
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
Today, we are unveiling our new comment/discussion system, with many new ways to interact with authors and fellow readers about science and faith.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Our time at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society showed that there is a hunger to a better conversation about science and evangelical Christianity.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.

It is now possible to use dental X-rays to predict who is at risk of fractures, reveals a new study from researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy reported in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
In a previous study, researchers from the University of Gothenburg's Sahlgrenska Academy and Region Vstra Gtaland demonstrated that a sparse bone structure in the trabecular bone in the lower jaw is linked to a greater chance of having previously had fractures in other parts of the body.
X-rays investigates bone structure
The Gothenburg researchers have now taken this a step further with a new study that shows that it is possible to use dental X-rays to investigate the bone structure in the lower jaw, and so predict who is at greater risk of fractures in the future. Published in the journal Bone, the results were also mentioned in both Nature Reviews Endocrinology and the Wall Street Journal.
Linked to risk of fractures
"We've seen that sparse bone structure in the lower jaw in mid-life is directly linked to the risk of fractures in other parts of the body, later in life,"says Lauren Lissner, a researcher at the Institute of Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy.
Study started 1968
The study draws on data from the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg started in 1968. Given that this has now been running for over 40 years, the material is globally unique. The study included 731 women, who have been examined on several occasions since 1968, when they were 38-60 years old. X-ray images of their jaw bone were analysed in 1968 and 1980 and the results related to the incidence of subsequent fractures.
For the first 12 years fractures were self-reported during followup examinations. It is only since the 1980s that it has been possible to use medical registers to identify fractures. A total of 222 fractures were identified during the whole obs

Even though the sun's out and we can, you know, get an actual tan the normal way, a survey has revealed the number of men using sunbeds has gone up this year by 30%.
Why? Well, aside from the fact we're anticipating one of those miserable summers where it's cold and we look like Casper the ghost, lately it's become a bit more acceptable to care about how we look.
But there's a difference between lapping up the sun and lying naked on a sun bed. Namely that one of them makes you look like a leather purse and is detrimental to your health.
The Save Your Skin campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of using sunbeds by sponsoring the 'Large and Little' boxing event in Liverpool at The Olympia Arena this Saturday night.
An investigation by Fake Bake showed that a lot boxers use sun beds before a fight so that they look their best – even though it's an unnecessarily dangerous beauty regime.
To help promote awareness of the Save Your Skin Campaign, we have a year's supply of Fake Bake to give away (hint: it's fake tan). It's better you use that than a sun bed.
Just tweet us at @FHM_UK and tell us the most interesting thing about boxing/fake tan.The best/most unique entry will get the tickets. Simple as that.

Hal Walker, Jr.
Hildreth (Hal) Walker, Jr. Walker led the manufacturing, testing and operation of the Korad K1500 ruby laser system during the Apollo 11 lunar ranging experiment. This historic first successful interplanetary lunar laser ranging experiment is replicated in an interactive exhibit located in the Hands on Science section of Science in American Life at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. Mr. Walker himself is also honored in the exhibit's permanent section, "The New Moon." Mr. Walker's space technology involvements began in 1959 as a technical member of the RCA corporation's BMEWS (Ballistic Missile Early Warning System) situated in the Alaskan frontiers to detect Soviet Missile nuclear attacks. This experience prepared him to expand his career into the laser technology industry in early 1964 at KORAD Laser Systems, a Division of the Union Carbide Corporation.
As a laser systems specialist, Hal traveled throughout the United States and the world introducing advanced new laser technologies to the fields of scientific research and industrial applications.

Nevada state law (Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 118A.510) prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants.
Tenant Rights Protected Against Landlord Retaliation in Nevada
It is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant in Nevada who has exercised a legal right, including:
- complaining to the landlord about unsafe or illegal living conditions
- complaining to a government agency, such as a building or health inspector, about unsafe or illegal living conditions
- assembling and presenting your views collectively—for example, by joining or organizing a tenant union, or
- exercising a legal right allowed by your state or local law, such as withholding the rent for an uninhabitable unit.
Types of Retaliation That Are Against State Law
The kinds of retaliatory acts covered by Nevada law include terminating a tenancy or filing an eviction lawsuit; increasing the rent; or decreasing services, such as locking the laundry room.
For advice on how to respond to—and prove—retaliation, see the article Landlord Retaliation.
Nevada Guide to Tenant Rights
For an overview of tenant rights under Nevada landlord-tenant law, and resources for filing complaints, see http://www.nlslaw.net/housing.html.
Nevada State and Local Law on Landlord Retaliation
For state law on landlord retaliation, see Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 118A.510.
See the Laws and Legal Research section of Nolo for advice on finding and reading statutes and court decisions.
Also, check your local housing ordinances, particularly if you are covered by rent control, for any city or county rules that protect tenants from landlord retaliation. To find yours, call your mayor or city manager's office or check your city or county website.

Vital Posh looks at the latest news coming out of Peterborough United over the past week and also what their rival teams in League One are up to.
Joan Hill - RIP
We start off with some really sad news to come out of Posh that club champion Joan Hill has sadly lost her battle with cancer. Tributes have been flooding in with just a few of them listed below:
Posh Chairman Darragh MacAnthony
Just wanted to say RIP Joan Hill who passed away. A beautiful human being who will be missed by everybody at Posh.
Barry Fry
She had enormous respect from everybody in football and she gave her heart and soul to every club she ever worked for, and for the last ten years gave her heart and soul to Peterborough.
People would do things for Joan because she had a heart of gold. She was brilliant for the club and the community and will never ever, ever be forgotten.
Grant McCann
Absolutely gutted about the death of Joan Hill couldn't have met a nicer woman. Looked after me so much when I first came to posh.
Phil Adlam
Very sad to learn of the passing of Joan Hill. A great lady, who did so much for others and will be sadly missed.
Mark Arber
Very sad to hear of Joan Hill's passing, a real credit behind the scenes at Posh. RIP X
Gabriel Zakuani
R.I.P Joan Hill amazing woman #Pufcfamily
Shane Blackett
Such sad news to hear that Joan Hill from @theposhdotcom has passed away. Top lady who always had a smile on her face! #RIPJoannie
Dean Keates
A tragedy at Posh, the passing of Joan Hill, an unsung hero of a football club, made every player/family welcome and the move there a lot easier. x
Our thoughts are with Joans family and friends at this sad time. RIP Joan
Season Tickets
Season ticket sales for Posh`s 2013-14 League One campaign are going very well and have been described as "brilliant" by club officials.
Posh passed the 4,000 ticket sales barrier at the start of the week and are hoping to at least match the 4,500 tickets sold for last season.
Chris Brewer, Head of Media and Ticketing at Posh, said: "We`ve reached 4,000 which is roughly the same as last season at this point which considering relegation is brilliant."
If you haven`t got your season ticket, try to get one as it saves you a fair amount of money of the course of the season.
The cost of an adult season ticket for the London Road terrace is the equivalent to £14.13 per match (saving nearly £6 per game) while seating areas equates to £19.57 per match (saving over £5 per game).
Admission prices will be increased for any tickets purchased on the day of the game which means you are making an even bigger saving.
Posh Coffers Boosted By Savers
The Norwich and Peterborough Building Society has handed Posh a cheque for £50,428!
The Building Society has a special "Posh Account" which generates a bonus of 0.5% on all savings made by Posh account using this special Posh account. The bonus is handed over to the club every year and has so far generated over £1 million since the account was launched in July 1999!
N&P`s Branch Network Manager and Posh supporter, Nigel Smith said: 'We are proud of our longstanding relationship with Peterborough United and are delighted that Posh supporters have helped us to make this sizeable donation to the club."
Bob Symns, Peterborough United chief executive, said: "The success of our partnership with Norwich & Peterborough is a tribute to the loyalty of the building society and our supporters. We cannot thank them enough."

This post was originally published on Mashable.
Everyone is fascinated with the possibilities and promises of a holographic 3D world. With major events such as Coachella and the London Olympics showing off the latest in hologram technology, it's not hard to desire the concept in theatres, shops or homes. Let's face it: who doesn't want to live in a place where holographic projections a la Star Wars communicate information?
Luckily, holographic technology is becoming much closer to entering our homes and our lives - it's a future tech that's well within our grasp. We spoke with companies planning big things in the space in just the next few years, let alone 2020. All of these exciting innovations are coming our way, and it's just the tip of the hologram iceberg.
Before we can understand where holographic technology is heading, there's a lot to learn about where it came from.
Holograms actually began life as a classic parlour trick known as "Pepper's Ghost" - an illusion that took advantage of a well-angled mirror to "project" the reflection of a ghost in a secret, hidden room. This simple technique, dating back to the 16th century, is still used in some capacity today, most notably within Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, where the largest Pepper's Ghost installation resides to make guests feel as though they've entered a haunted ballroom.
Some elements of Pepper's Ghost were also used to achieve arguably the most talked-about hologram of 2012, the Tupac Hologram at Coachella.
Instead of a so-called "real" hologram, the people at San Diego's AV Concepts projected Tupac onto a piece of foil and utilised angled mirrors to put him on stage.
Flashes of holographic images continued to crop up during major events within the past year, most notably the London 2012 Olympics and even hologram-style Beyonces during the halftime show of the Super Bowl.
However, nothing has yet to capture true hologram abilities.
That is, the holograms everywhere largely are illusions rather than a native, glasses-free 3D projection or a multi-projector orchestration to produce a life-size image. But, we're well on our way to accomplishing this.
Many companies are taking the next step towards the future of holograms, and one is the Toronto-based technology company Rose and Thistle, which is currently marketing a patented hologram technology: Holographic Paramotion.
"We've created a very rich holographic experience through the first half of 2012," says Paul Duffy, president of Rose and Thistle. "We didn't know it at the time, but no one was taking holograms and adding multiple layers of depth or integrating it all into a product."
Rather than taking advantage of hidden rooms, Holographic Paramotion relies on a proscenium-style display box to reflect elements of the hologram onto the centre of the stage.
The system, called the ShowBox, can then be scaled to reflect the light sources available - as big as a movie theatre screen or as small as a television.
Duffy says that the biggest challenge in developing a true hologram is surpassing the so-called "uncanny valley" to help the audience believe that the images on stage are actually real.
"If you're thinking 'where in the future is holography going?' We found it in four key domains. The first one is the most important: the projection and illumination systems that allow you to deliver or view the images," Duffy explains.
"That category of technology is undergoing an exponential growth right now - the ability to not just take the quality of the image but the brightness and illumination is increasing dramatically."
Rose and Thistle brought their product out to play, although still in beta testing, for a few big names already.
One notable experience was a presentation for PBS's Quest Beyond the Stars, creating a snippet of a live holographic touring show that could explore the wonders of space via hologram. A second installation, for Canadian department store chain Holt Renfrew, showed off holographic models in the Toronto flagship outlet's display windows constantly during Fashion Week. Duffy says the goal for their products is not only quality, but consistency.
"It really allowed us to stress test this all in a live environment," Duffy explains.
"It was on 24 hours per day, in full light and full dark, on a very high-traffic street near Toronto. That's another sign that this technology is really starting to come together."
This technology can be just a few years away, and Duffy says that he is also excited for the possibility of taking holograms portable.
The ShowBox already has plans to be scaled into a personal, iPad-sized display piece, but the technology just isn't there yet.
"On an iPad 2 right now, it's a little weak - the power source doesn't provide the light you need," Duffy says.
"But the iPad 3 is close, and as we improve the quality of tablet devices, the viewing capability is going to be strong enough that with the right lighting, you're going to get an equivalent experience on the handheld."
While personal holographic technologies are out of reach, there are other companies approaching a similar endgame from a different starting point.
Infinite Z, the company behind 3D tablet workspace zSpace, approaches the personal hologram problem from a natural starting point - passive 3D technology.
Rather than projecting the 3D system without glasses, the zSpace relies on glasses to produce the imagery. But it has a lot of holographic elements incorporated into the system to make it all feel real.
"We offer a lot of benefits of a holographic environment to the user while trying to get around the constraints that allow a true hologram to exist," says David Chavez, chief technology officer of Infinite Z.
Chavez says the key to a successful personal holographic technology, and something that is a big draw with the zSpace, is the "motion parallax", the ability for an image to react to the way that your eye is tracking in a believable way.
If you move and the image moves with you, then a holographic image is performing well, but the technological features to facilitate that simple motion are still years away.
"We render the scenes based on the position of the eyes, and that's a big deal. It's a lot more straightforward to create that illusion," Chavez explains.
"Someday it'll come - today we're limited by the performance of the technology on hand. Because the requirements for tracking performance are quite high and your brain gives exactly instantaneous and accurate feedback all time, the technology has to be able to do it all without skipping."
Still, as tablets become smaller, stronger and faster, there's a possibility that they could project 3D images in some not-too-distant future. While he would not give any specifics, Chavez did say it's on their radar.
"We're going to provide these great products to meet market demand. If it happens to be in a smaller package, then that's where we'll go."
Right now, technology is not quite ready to handle the implications of a truly full-scale holographic experience - but we are closer than we ever have been before. Perhaps even in the next 10 years, we'll be viewing perfect holograms in theatres all over and watching crystal-clear projections from our tablets.
One thing is for sure - this fiction is destined to become reality.

- Christina Aguilera haters step aside. The Voice singer isn't letting comments about her weight gain get to her. Instead, she's getting support and mentoring from Grammy-winner, Adele.
Thalia has always protected her private life and kept it separate from her public persona. So it was particularly exciting to see the Mexican superstar display her motherly side during Pampers launch of their online initiative, "Mi Musica, Mi Herencia" at the New World Symphony in Miami, Florida on Thursday, October 25.
She chatted with expectant mothers and posed for photographs with toddlers and their parents during this special event that celebrated Hispanic culture through music and dance.

These days, everyone is trying to keep up with Latino celebrities on social media. It's no wonder Shakira and Selena Gomez recently topped Forbes' list of "Social Networking Superstars." We are taking a look at the top Latino stars dominating your Facebook and Twitter feeds. Tweet your heart out fans!
Victor Cruz just released his new memoir, Out of the Blue, which chronicles his life and struggle to get to where he is now – a Super Bowl champion and proud papi. To celebrate, we're looking at some other books by notable Latinos. Are any of these on your reading list?

Wondering what we are buzzing about this afternoon? Check out our chisme rundown below:
- Don Omar may be the King of Kings, but even he has a bad day with fans every once in a while.

Listen to his latest single "Hasta Que Sale El Sol" below and let us know what you think!
Shakira has a cyber army that can start a revolution. The "Addicted to You" singer recently celebrated her mark of 50 million Facebook fans and counting. So, we are counting down the top Latino celebrities dominating the Facebook and Twitter space. Why? Because we know you give a tweet.
Thalia is making the return to the medium that first gave her success: telenovelas! The Mexican pop singer is set to appear in a new telenovela (in at least 100 episodes!), reports MTV Tr3s, and while they're staying mum on the details (including when we can expect them to start filming!), producers Roberto Gomez and Pedro Torres will be giving Thalia creative input (and there's rumor that Thalia is trying to nab William Levy for a role!).
Whether it's going to Easter brunch, heading to Sunday mass, or simply eating some chocolate bunnies, we are all about celebrating the festive holiday! Take a look at how some of your favorite stars enjoyed Easter Sunday!

This is most of the reason I can't stand nuBSG.

Well, nuBSG was a straight-up no-bones-about-it reboot. They weren't trying to set it in the original continuity or sell themselves as an alternate universe thereof. So they were actually quite free to make up any damn thing whether it had to do with the original characters or not.
It can admittedly seem cheap to just plaster the old names on completely different characters, but I wouldn't accuse nuBSG of doing so or of gender-switching purely for its own sake. Most of the decisions they made added considerable dramatic depth to the characters and interesting complications and tensions to relationships that were straightforward and really quite bland in the original product; gender-switched Starbuck was (albeit a bit too heavy on the angst at times) a million times more dramatically interesting than the original article. Gender-switching purely as a form of cheesy fanwank would be awful, of course, but it can be done in more interesting ways, and for my money nuBSG is one of the best examples of that.

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Birthday Party Pictures
Jessica Simpson Has Ashlee and Vincent on Hand to Celebrate Eric Johnson's 32nd!
Jessica Simpson gathered friends and family together at LA's BRÜ Haus to celebrate her fiancé Eric Johnson's 32nd birthday, which actually was yesterday! It was their second fun evening out this week, after a date night at Madeo on Tuesday. Ashlee Simpson attended the bash along with her boyfriend Vincent Piazza. Vincent and Ashlee made a quick trek westward in order to make the event, as they were in NYC on Wednesday to hit the red carpet at the second season premiere of his HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. Ashlee and Vincent have been dating since early this Summer, and it seems he's already getting to know the extended Simpson clan. Jessica and Eric haven't released the date of their planned nuptials, but maybe Vincent will score an invite if things with him and Ashlee continue to go so well.

A lot of you probably read my title and did a double-take, thinking "Wait, Soul Harvest is amazing, it's a key piece of my build!"
And that's exactly my point. In short, Soul Harvest amps damage (and to a lesser extent, magic resistances) to the point that it's difficult to justify any Witch Doctor build without it. It appears that the returns do diminish, but it's still a massive damage amplification. While I like the skill, I'm concerned about the existence of "must have" skills in this skill system-- I'd much rather see a wide variety of viable builds that incorporate the whole spectrum of skills, rather than a few builds that all incorporate Soul Harvest. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix it. I don't want to see it massively nerfed, but at the same time, it's so good at the moment I can't justify playing without it. Thoughts? |
A lot of you probably read my title and did a double-take, thinking "Wait, Soul Harvest is amazing, it's a key piece of my build!" Only real way to fix it is to nerf the damage increase it offers, and buff every other one of our skills by a similara mount. I agree that it sucks that it is almost a must have, although playing without it is perfectly viable as well, just remember, and you may have room for something cool in your build that those with SH do not. |
Why are complaining about something like sh.... Makes it more exciting ... Do you want to do what we did in d2 stand and just cast one spell from range and profit.... dont like something about a class live with it or reroll...
It is exciting having to run in and get stacks, especially once enemies start hitting harder, but I think the main concern is that SH is a "must have" skill.
Its not a must have at all, its a must have at low levels in DPS heavy builds. Any build emphasizing survivability needs that skill slot for a real spell.
My friend is leveling a HC WD right now and has never used soul harvest. Its plain stupid in HC, sacrificing that skill slot which could go to a pet-buffer or a crowd control / defensive skill. The fact that you have to run into melee range makes it even worse. My WD is currently in a3 nightmare and I've stopped using SH because I just get hit too hard when I run it. It basically necessitates that I cast fear, mass confusion, or spirit walk afterward to escape alive. Not that those are bad skills to have, its just annoying that it relys on packing skills that it doesn't buff (non dmg skills). It also means you have to blow a very useful crowd control / escape cooldown early in the fight. Its really not fun facing down a pack of monsters in nightmare without your spirit walk / fear cooldown if things go south. I think you'll find as you progress through difficulties that SH becomes much less critical. |
I'm at the exact same point as you and I'm not having any of these problems. SH wrecks face. |
100% agree.
I decided to stop using it for a while because it put me in harms way. I am currently using a build with spiders and grasp of the dead. soul harvest had me running up the front lines then running away. For me it just seemed beneficl to use that time to get my spiders out there! firebat anything that gets close! |
I also think Soul Harvest is a little too much currently, but I don't think it is poorly designed at all.
The goal here is to reward risks. Without this skill I would just stay behind all the time throwing spiders and bats from afar, but with this skill I have to risk myself into melee to get the buff. In fact, at higher difficulties sometimes you won't even have the opportunity to cast it. I completely agree must-have spells are bad to the game. But in this case, Soul Harvest is a must-have now just because it can be overtuned, not because it is poorly designed. |
I have 2 different builds that I use without it so far. One of them is a Sacrifice/Firebomb build, the other is a DoT. Grasp + Rain + Pestilence + Haunt with darts (mana regen) as primary and spirit walk for oh!@#$ moment. With that last build I just soloed a x2 pack (other player was in town) with a yellow waller and never went below 50%
I see short term buffs like SH as helpful for increasing peak performance in ordinary situations, which as a HC player I don't care about. In the kind of situation I do care about, in which things may head south, or already have gone south, a short term buff which must be acquired in melee-range can be risky and/or difficult to pull off. As a kicker, it's annoying to keep renewing SH because of the short timer.
I'd much rather not give up 1 out of 6 skill slots to a power like SH, especially as it may be a target for nerfs anyways. In short, I haven't used it and I won't use it. |
it's really good for aoe, crap for bosses and it uses two skill slots (you NEED spirit walk with this). Seems kinda balanced. I just don't really like the mechanic of it, it's really basic and kinda boring. Also voodoo pretty much out does it in everyway possible in team situations.

A lot of you probably read my title and did a double-take, thinking "Wait, Soul Harvest is amazing, it's a key piece of my build!" I'm not sure I'd pick it up in Hard Core... It's a risky skill that begs you to pick up another defensive skill to make it work (spirit walk). That said, SH is very strong... I just assume Inferno will rock my builds upside down. Edit: This skill is not crappy for bosses. Not optimal use, but you can usually get 1-3 stacks in a boss fight which is still totally worth it (if only for the heal).
Edited by Derpes#1975 on 5/16/2012 10:55 AM PDT
I'm level 33 in Nightmare and hate Soul Harvest. In nightmare, with a shield, running into a pack of mobs will get me killed. Yes the damage increase is strong, but I'd rather not run my squishy in to get one shot. The skill slot is better used for grasp of the dead, hex, or fetish army.
You don't need to pair another defensive skill with Soul Harvest. You do need to focus on raising your defenses, which means taking gear that has 20 armor and 40 intelligence versus gear with 80 armor and 20 vitality would be a big no no.
The thing is though. Enemies will slip through your defenses after act 1 via teleports, leaps, or bombardment. Raising defense is critical to survial, and will likely be even more so on Inferno. You sacrifice some offense to be able to use this spell, but it makes up for itself. It basically allows you to completely ignore intelligence if you so choose and stack all vitality gear. It's simply put -too good-. But whatever. I made a thread about this already. Let blizzard change it or not, if it lets me beat inferno, good for me! |
Folks : at my current level 26 - Act 3, I realized the most times I was getting hit was trying to use soul harvest. I then did not try to get close too mobs and I realized I was not using it as much as I used to.
Current Build, and kicking a$$ and taking names. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#cZheiT!bY!aa.aaa |
Soul Harvest is incredibly powerful. I came here just to ask if it was working right and saw this thread. With the Gruesome Feast passive I can go from 150 int to 500 int using it. Totally worth the risk of running in and out. Especially if you use dogs, gargantuan and Templar to take aggro. I don't get hit that often. Maybe in the higher difficulties...
But it's just ridiculous how much damage Firebats can do with it. The firebats can heal whatever hit you may have taken while using SH, using Vampire rune. Also use the Final Gift on Zombie Dogs to boost the Gruesome Feast passive. I can consistently boost my intelligence by 333% with SH and GF and take that to the next fight or sustain in long fights with lots of mobs. Another thing to consider... you don't have to have 5 enemies to make it necessary, I feel even 2 enemies on SH is worth taking it as a skill. Blizz may need to rethink this one. -------------------------- Here's my build. It's all about pets and the grasp cc so you can get in and out, then Firebat them all. Poison Dart for single target dps. And hire the Templar. He'll take away even more aggro. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#aZcYTd!bY!aaZZaa

OORRRR on the flipside of what you're saying... you CAN take another defensive skill and itemize for offense :) SW + SH synergy is STRONK |
A lot of you probably read my title and did a double-take, thinking "Wait, Soul Harvest is amazing, it's a key piece of my build!" It didnt take long for someone to complain about skills, damn man, just play the game, you dont have to include SH in your build, the WD is just as good without it. I have a build with and without SH, not much difference in both. Figure them out. |

My Favorite Classic Danielle from Clinton Township, MI– Verified Buyer This is the same turtle sandbox you remember having. We used 3x 50lbs bags of sand (150 lbs total) and it was pretty full. My 18 month old daughter loves playing it in and its like an automatic babysitter! My husband and I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the deck while he was so happy putting sand in his buckets. I'm looking forward to the hours of entertainment it will provide. Plus, it was nice to not have to figure out how to fit it in the car -- it was delivered to my front door. |
Hours of fun! Jeffrey from Turnersville, NJ– Verified Buyer The kids love to play in it and I really like the fact that it has a cover. The cover really helps keep the dirt and leaves out of the sand. We have many other toys in the backyard for the children to play with, but they almost always seem to be playing in this sandbox! |
A very cute sand box regina from pell city, AL– Verified Buyer I love the turtle sand box bought it for my grandson he loved it , wished it was just little thicker on top i have a real older one and it is a lot harder on top , but its cute and he loves it .And the shipping was very fast |

Very sturdy Turtle Sandbox Marie from Dallas TX– Verified Buyer Got this for my boys. Very sturdy sandbox for them to play in, it will keep them busy for hours if they could just keep the sand out of their hair and mouths. LOL |
perfect b-day gift. Sharon from Troy, IL– Verified Buyer Bought this for my 4 year old grandson. He was playing with sand in a tubberware container in the house. He was so ready for a sand box. It is the perfect size for him on the patio. He can spent the longest time playing with his truck etc.. It is so cute to look at. Money well spent. |
