From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" is a Christmas song recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby who scored a top ten hit with the song. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has since gone on to become a Christmas standard.[1]
The song is sung from the point of view of an overseas soldier during WWII, writing a letter to his family. In the message, he tells the family that he will be coming home, and to prepare the holiday for him including requests for "snow", "mistletoe", and "presents on the tree". The song ends on a melancholy note, with the soldier saying "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams."[2]
The song was written by the lyricist Kim Gannon and composer Walter Kent. Buck Ram, who previously wrote a poem and song with the same title, was credited as a co-writer of the song following a lawsuit.[3] The original 1943 release of the song by Bing Crosby on Decca Records listed only Walter Kent and Kim Gannon as the songwriters on the record label. Later pressings added the name of Buck Ram to the songwriting credit.
On October 4, 1943, Crosby recorded the song under the title "I'll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In My Dreams)" with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra for Decca Records, which was released as a 78 single, Decca 18570A, Matrix #L3203, reissued in 1946 as Decca 23779. Within a month of release, the song charted for eleven weeks, with a peak at number three. The next year, the song reached number nineteen on the charts.
The U.S. War Department also released Bing Crosby's performance of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" from the December 7, 1944 Kraft Music Hall with the Henderson Choir, J.S.T., on V-Disc, as U.S. Army V-Disc No. 441-B and U.S. Navy V-Disc No. 221B, Matrix #VP1253-D5TC206.[4][5]
The song touched the hearts of Americans, both soldiers and civilians, who were in the midst of World War II, and it earned Crosby his fifth gold record. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" became the most requested song at Christmas U.S.O. shows. Yank, the GI magazine, said Crosby "accomplished more for military morale than anyone else of that era".[citation needed]
In December 1965, astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell while on Gemini 7 requested "I'll Be Home for Christmas" be played for them by the NASA ground crew.[citation needed]
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" was recorded by Perry Como (1946), Frank Sinatra (1957), Sara Evans (Hear Something Country - Christmas 2007, 2007),[6] Kelly Clarkson (iTunes Session & Wrapped in Red)[7] and many other artists.[8] These artists include:
1 Peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in December 2012[9] and peaked at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2011.[10]
2 Spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in January 2008[11] and peaked at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2006.[10]

The leading wireless industry association wants to defend federal Internet competition rules from consumer groups that say the regulations are too loose.
CTIA-The Wireless Association filed a motion to intervene with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday. The filing adds another angle to the legal battle over the so-called net neutrality rules, which govern how Internet companies provide service.
Verizon has sued the FCC over the rules, arguing that the agency does not have the authority to regulate the Internet.
At least four other groups have also challenged the rules, but from the other side of the argument. They say the FCC's rules are too weak and arbitrarily exclude wireless networks from many of the regulations.
"CTIA wishes to defend the FCC against that challenge and any related arguments that the FCC erred in imposing too few regulatory burdens," the court filing states.
The advocacy group Public Knowledge has also asked to be allowed to defend the rules against Verizon's arguments.

The Chicago Bulls haven't looked much like the regular-season juggernaut they once were so far in Derrick Rose's first two games back, but the former MVP has little doubt his team is about to start clicking.
To the surprise of almost everyone, the Philadelphia 76ers already are.
Rose and the Bulls look for a more complete effort Saturday night in Philadelphia, where the 76ers look to continue their stunning start with a third straight victory.
Rose hit a baseline floater with 5.7 seconds left Thursday to provide the final points in Chicago's 82-81 victory over the Knicks, but there were still plenty of concerns for the team that finished with the NBA's best record in each of the last two seasons Rose was healthy.
The Bulls (1-1) led by 10 at the beginning of the fourth quarter before scoring just 11 points in the final 12 minutes. Their only two field goals came from Rose, who shot 7 of 23 from the floor and finished with more turnovers (four) than assists (three) for the second straight game.
"(Rose) showed a lot of toughness," coach Tom Thibodeau told the Bulls' official website. "He kept working the game when things weren't going his way. Right now we have to count on our defense and rebounding to get us through this."
Rose, who's shooting 28.9 percent (11 of 38) thus far, feels like it's only a matter of time before Chicago's offense begins to come around -- starting with his own.
"It's going to be scary when all those shots are falling," Rose said. "I can't think about it. I've got to have quick amnesia. The shots (for the team) are not falling right now. When they do fall, I think we are going to be a dangerous team."
The 76ers (2-0) aren't having any issues getting shots to go down. Seemingly in full rebuilding mode and picked by many to be the league's worst team, Philadelphia shocked Miami 114-110 in its opener Wednesday before rallying from 12 down midway through the third quarter Friday to win 109-102 at Washington.
"It's only two," first-year coach Brett Brown said, "but we sure are happy."
Rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams followed his 22-point, 12-assist, nine-steal debut by scoring 12 of his 14 after halftime Friday, but it's been the 76ers' front line that has made the biggest impact thus far. Philadelphia outscored the Heat 50-36 in the paint and held a 40-30 rebounding edge, then put up 74 points in the lane against the Wizards.
Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young and Spencer Hawes combined for 60 points against Miami and 68 in Washington.
"We have a lot of confidence in each other," Carter-Williams said. "And not by any means are we going to go out there and play like we don't want to win. There's a bunch of winners on this team."
Turner, Young and Hawes figure to have their hands full inside Saturday. The Bulls have outscored their first two opponents 96-58 in the paint.
Philadelphia has had trouble scoring anywhere against Chicago since Rose tore his ACL in Game 1 of the teams' 2012 first-round playoff series. The Bulls have won five straight in the series, holding the 76ers to an average of 86.0 points and 41.7 percent shooting -- 21.3 percent from 3-point range.
Joakim Noah has just eight points this season, but he's been the key to the Rose-less Bulls' success against Philadelphia. He's averaged 16.0 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks during Chicago's winning streak in the series, including a 23-point, 21-board, 11-block triple-double in a 93-82 home win Feb. 28.
Philadelphia last started 3-0 in 2006-07.

Three Indicted for Loan Fraud Scheme
Las Vegas, Nev. - Three men who allegedly induced persons to pay large advance fees for loans the men knew they would never obtain, have been indicted in U.S. District Court on wire fraud and money laundering charges, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
JAMES D. PAYNE, age 58, of Indianapolis, Indiana, and MICHAEL McMUNN, age 45, of Horse Cave, Kentucky, are charged with 36 counts of Wire Fraud, one count of Money Laundering Conspiracy, 10 counts of International Money Laundering, and five counts of Money Laundering. PAYNE is also charged with one count of Making a False Statement to the FBI and four counts of Failure to File a Tax Return, three of which involved his alleged failure to file tax returns for the corporation involved in the fraud. STEPHEN D. RYAN, age 53, of Pound Ridge, New York, is charged with 36 counts of Wire Fraud, one count of Money Laundering Conspiracy, and one count of Money Laundering. RYAN, a former lawyer, was disbarred by the State Bar of New York in 1999 for misuse of client funds.
The Indictment was returned by the Grand Jury on January 27, 2004, but was not announced until today to permit agents to execute arrest warrants.
According to the court records, between April 1996 and August 2000, defendant JAMES PAYNE owned and operated Stateline Capital Corporation ("Stateline") at 3885 South Decatur Boulevard, in Las Vegas. Defendants McMUNN and RYAN were also associated with Stateline, and used a number of different titles to describe their work.
The Indictment alleges that from approximately December 1998 to August 2000, the defendants advised individuals that in return for the payment of an advance fee, Stateline could assist them in obtaining multi-million dollar loans through overseas financial institutions. The defendants knew they could never obtain the loans, and knew they would never refund their fees.
To convince the victims that they could obtain the loans, the defendants controlled and operated an offshore organization in Antigua, the British West Indies, and London, England, known as Lonestar Leasing Ltd., which they said would fund projects through its banks Royal Bank of Canada, Union Bank of Switzerland, or Swiss American Bank.
The defendants allegedly took a number of actions to convince the victims that they could obtain the loans, including:
• Sending the victims reference lists with the names of others who had purportedly closed million-dollar loans with Stateline;
• Contractually obtaining a financial interest in some of the victims' projects for which the victims sought funding;
• Providing the victims with documentation that Stateline would guarantee the loans in case of a default;
• Advising the victims that their advance fees would be held in escrow with an attorney;
• Representing that there had been unexpected delays in the sources of funding or that Stateline had located other funding sources;
• Advising the victims that they had to keep the terms of their agreements with Stateline confidential, and that they were not to contact the sources of funding directly for fear of jeopardizing the closing of the loans;
• Creating a false paper trail to make it appear they were actually attempting to obtain the funds for the victims.
The defendants knew that no potential borrowers had ever received a loan through Stateline. They also failed to disclose that PAYNE and McMUNN controlled Lonestar Leasing, Ltd., and that the attorney who would be holding their escrow funds had been disbarred for misuse of client funds.
A substantial portion of the advance fees were moved from Stateline's bank accounts in Las Vegas to the personal bank accounts of the defendants. Some of the monies were wired to sources in London, England, Dublin, Ireland, and Riga, Latvia.
Some of Stateline's victims were referred by United Capital Mortgage, which served as a broker and was located in Lee's Summit, Missouri. The defendants used Shona Clark, the President of United Capital to disseminate false information to the victims through the brokerage. Clark was also prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Las Vegas, and on September 15, 2003, she pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for concealing documents from the Grand Jury related to this case. Clark is scheduled to be sentenced on April 5, 2004.
Arrest warrants were issued for defendants PAYNE and RYAN. PAYNE was arrested on February 5, 2004, without incident in Indianapolis, Indiana. RYAN has not yet been arrested.
A Summons was issued for defendant McMUNN requiring him to appear in court on February 13, 2004, at 8:30 a.m. for an Initial Appearance and Arraignment before United States Magistrate Judge Peggy A. Leen.
"Prosecuting individuals who commit white collar offenses such as wire fraud, mortgage fraud, identity theft, and money laundering, etc. is a high priority in the District of Nevada," said U.S. Attorney Bogden. This Indictment should send a strong message that we are committed to using the full force of federal law to identify, arrest and prosecute anyone who commits this type of crime."
If convicted, the defendants are facing up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the wire fraud counts; up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine on the International Money Laundering and Money Laundering Conspiracy counts; up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the Money Laundering count; up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the False Statement count; and up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine on the Failure to File counts.
This case is being investigated by Special Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and IRS Criminal Investigation, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Justin J. Roberts.
The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Open-Source Scientific Algorithm Library (SAL) for High-Performance Embedded Computing
For many years, optimized versions of Mercury's Scientific Algorithm Library (SAL) and API have been the de facto standard library implementation for PowerPC®-enabled radar applications. Using SAL has often resulted in orders-of-magnitude increases in vector math execution performance over other implementations. As technology has advanced to higher capabilities on single and many-core x86 and GPU platforms, Mercury has decided to contribute this rich API and the C version reference design of its math functions to the user community for evaluation, use, and augmentation.
Ease of Application Integration while Achieving More Computations Faster
Libraries are often tightly coupled with target hardware compute platforms, making optimization very difficult. The OpenSAL API, on the other hand, provides a level of abstraction from the hardware, making the application programmer's job easier.
Scientific algorithm libraries are used as accelerators to improve size, weight, and power (SWaP) metrics for HPEC applications. Functions like fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and fast convolutions are often optimized to execute on target platforms, enabling the target compute engine to execute real- time-constrained computations faster.
Community Counts
By offering OpenSAL to the open-source community, Mercury hopes that its capabilities will expand, so that it may become an open-architecture de facto standard for scientific algorithm libraries on many more compute platforms. By leveraging the wider community's contributions, expertise, and support, we can all get there faster and better.
OpenSAL V1.0 is available now for download under open-source license GNU GPLv3 as a Sourceforge.net project.

After the Monaco seaside perch and the lakeside fun in Montreal, the Formula One fraternity regrouped at their third successive waterside location for this weekends 2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe in the port of the Spanish city of Valencia.
As the sports only Spanish team, it was only right that HRT kicked off proceedings in the build-up to the race. Drivers Pedro de la Rosa, Narain Karthikeyan, Dani Clos and Ma Qing Hua all tried their hands at paddle tennis against seasoned professional players Seba Nerone (four-time world team paddle tennis champion), Pablo Lima (championship runner-up), Carolina Navarro (2012 female world champion) and David Gutierrez (placed 32nd in the world rankings).
There was also big breaking news down at the Toro Rosso camp with Jean-Eric Vergnes decision to shave! ts the first time in two years that ve gone for anything other than a trim, he explained. just decided it was time for a change of image, so went for the full clean shave. t might come in useful, too, because here in Valencia this weekend m doing a photo shoot for Vogue magazine with a top model. That should be pretty cool.
At Ferrari, president Luca di Montezemolo made a special visit to the paddock to cheer on his team and drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, joining up with former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt, now FA President, of course.
Other famous racing faces included former ndyCar star Adrian Fernandez, former F1 racers Derek Daly, Bertrand Gachot, Mark Blundell, Adrian Sutil, Allan McNish, Nick Heidfeld, Adrian Campos, Mika Salo as the FAs driver steward, and Le Mans racers Andre Lotterer and Alex Wurz. Team people included Jo Ramirez and Joan Villadelprat.
From other sports came former Real Madrid defender Robert Carlos, while Eric Clapton was also seen hanging out with Bernie Ecclestone.
On track, Briton James Calado would have been justified for feeling aggrieved in Saturdays chaotic GP2 feature race, which saw three safety-car interventions. He was leading easily when the safety car was first deployed just after hed passed the pit lane entry. Fabio Leimer was able to duck in and make his pit stop, but after the Racing Engineering driver was beaten away at the restart by Esteban Gutierrez, Lotus GP ended up winning anyway as the Mexican sped home ahead of iSports Marcus Ericsson, Ardens Luiz Razia, Leimer, Carlins Ryo Haryanto, Racing Engineerings Nathaniel Berthon, Carlins Max Chilton and Calado once penalties had been applied to drop Bawra Addax drivers Josef Kral and Johnny Cecotto out of the top 10. That at least gave Calado pole for Sunday mornings sprint race.
And Calado led for much of that race, too, but dropped down the order after Haryantos attempt to pass went wrong on lap 20. He stayed in the hunt, though, setting up a last-lap showdown with Leimer and Razia, with Razia - who started eighth - ultimately taking the win after Calado and Leimer clashed with just a few corners remaining before crossing the line in that order.

Moreover, of those who were concerned about a possible health problem of the fetus, only 8 percent said that a physician had told them that the fetus had a defect or was abnormal. The rest were worried because they had taken medication, drugs, or alcohol before realizing they were pregnant, but did not apparently obtain a medical confirmation of any problem. Of those aborting because of their own health, 53 percent said a doctor had told them their condition would be made worse by being pregnant. Some of the rest cited physical problems, and 11 percent gave a mental or emotional problem as the reason. Only 1 percent cited rape or incest. The survey noted that some 77 percent of women with incomes under 100 percent or between 100 and 149 percent of the poverty level said they were having an abortion because they could not afford to have a child, compared with 69 percent of those with incomes between 150 and 199 percent and 60 percent of those with incomes at or above 200 percent of the poverty level. The can't-afford category thus included a great many women who, by most reckonings, could afford to have a baby and certainly could have put the baby up for adoption. This demonstration that abortion is almost always a birth control technique rather than a response to a serious problem with the mother's or the fetus' health must have been a considerable embarrassment to the pro-abortion forces. Perhaps for that reason no survey by them seems to have been reported since. More recent statistics by anti-abortion groups, however, bear out the conclusions to be drawn from the Guttmacher Institute study. The reasons most women give for having an abortion are social: a baby would affect their educations, jobs, lives, or they felt unable to handle it economically, their partners did not want babies, etc. Perhaps the most instructive episode demonstrating the brutalization of our culture by abortion was the fight over partial-birth abortions. These abortions are usually performed late in the pregnancy. The baby is delivered feet first until only the head remains within the mother. The aborting physician inserts scissors into the back of the infant's skull and opens the blades to produce a hole. The child's brains are then vacuumed out, the skull collapses, and the rest of the newly made corpse is removed. If the head had been allowed to come out of the mother, killing the baby then would be the criminal act of infanticide. When it was proposed to outlaw this hideous procedure, which obviously causes extreme pain to the baby, the pro-abortion forces in Congress and elsewhere made false statements to fend off the legislation or to justify an anticipated presidential veto. Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League stated that the general anesthesia given the mother killed the fetus so that there is no such thing as a partial-birth abortion. Physicians promptly rebutted the claim. Local anesthesia, which is most often used in these abortions, has no effect on the baby and general anesthesia not only does not kill the baby, it provides little or no painkilling effect to the baby. The vice president of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology said the claim was crazy, noting that anesthesia does not kill an infant if you don't kill the mother. Two doctors who perform partial-birth abortions stated that the majority of fetuses aborted in this fashion are alive until the end of the procedure. Other opponents of a ban on partial-birth abortions claimed that it was used only when necessary to protect the mother's life. Unfortunately for that argument, the physician who is the best-known practitioner of these abortions stated in 1993 that 80 percent of them are purely elective, not necessary to save the mother's life or health. Partial-birth understates the matter. The baby is outside the mother except for its head, which is kept in the mother only to avoid a charge of infanticide. Full birth is inches away and could easily be accomplished. No amount of discussion, no citation of evidence, can alter the opinions of radical feminists about abortion. One evening I naively remarked in a talk that those who favor the right to abort would likely change their minds if they could be convinced that a human being was being killed. I was startled at the anger that statement provoked in several women present. One of them informed me in no uncertain terms that the issue had nothing to do with the humanity of the fetus but was entirely about the woman's freedom. It is here that radical egalitarianism reinforces radical individualism in supporting the abortion right. Justice Harry Blackmun, who wrote Roe and who never offered the slightest constitutional defense of it, simply remarked that the decision was a landmark on women's march to equality. Equality, in this view, means that if men do not bear children, women should not have to either. Abortion is seen as women's escape from the idea that biology is destiny, to escape from the tyranny of the family role. Discussions about life and death in one area influence such decisions in others. Despite assurances that the abortion decision did not start us down a slippery and very steep slope, that is clearly where we are, and gathering speed. The systematic killing of unborn children in huge numbers is part of a general disregard for human life that has been growing for some time. Abortion by itself did not cause that disregard, but it certainly deepens and legitimates the nihilism that is spreading in our culture and finds killing for convenience acceptable. We are crossing lines, at first slowly and now with rapidity: killing unborn children for convenience; removing tissue from live fetuses; contemplating creating embryos for destruction in research; considering taking organs from living anencephalic babies; experimenting with assisted suicide; and contemplating euthanasia. Abortion has coarsened us. If it is permissible to kill the unborn human for convenience, it is surely permissible to kill those thought to be soon to die for the same reason. And it is inevitable that many who are not in danger of imminent death will be killed to relieve their families of burdens. Convenience is becoming the theme of our culture. Humans tend to be inconvenient at both ends of their lives.
* I objected to Roe v. Wade the moment it was decided, not because of any doubts about abortion, but because the decision was a radical deformation of the Constitution. The Constitution has nothing to say about abortion, leaving it, like most subjects, to the judgment and moral sense of the American people and their elected representatives. Roe and the decisions reaffirming it are equal in their audacity and abuse of judicial office to Dred Scott v. Sandford . Just as Dred Scott forced a southern proslavery position on the nation, Roe is nothing more than the Supreme Court's imposition of the morality of our cultural elites. ** In discussing abortion I will not address instances where most people, however they might ultimately decide the issue, would feel genuine moral anguish, cases, for example, where it is known that the child will be born with severe deformities. My purpose is not to solve all moral issues but simply to address the major ones. Abortions in cases of deformity, etc., are a very small fraction of the total and, because they introduce special factors, do not cast light on the direction of our culture as do abortions of healthy pre-borns performed for convenience.

This will help you avoid exhaustion during the drivers from getting so tired that they can't effectively drive.
Make sure you create copies of all your important documents before you travel. Keep copies of your passport, your insurance information, and any other pertinent documents in a safe place as backups for the originals.

Samare's new collection is based on the legacy of the Canadian interior or Pays d'en haut where much of the nation-building logging and fur trade once took place. This Montreal-based studio shows how contemporary design can borrow from tradition.
Trappeur Chair and Stool in beaver
Local materials were key to the survival of the trappers and traders. The Trappeur Chair is the reinterpretation of an old legend from the days of the fur trade: apparently lying on a fur would re-energize the trappers after long days in the woods.
Trappeur Chair in sheepskin
The Trappeur chair and stool are made up of a steel framework with back and seat in beaver or sheepskin. Draped over the chair is the Surface Fleche, a blanket woven with the design traditionally used for belts for the trappers.
Babiche Tray
The Babiche tray is made of traditional rawhide weaving and steel, an update on the babiche furniture for which Samare has become known.
Curling Table (closed)
This side table celebrates Canada's Scottish heritage and a national passion for the sport of curling. An authentic curling stone is mounted on steel legs.
Curling Table (open)
The Curling table can also be used for storage.
Drave Table
The Drave table is an homage to the draveurs, the loggers who rode logs down the mighty rivers to the sawmills. The wood is wild cherry.
Courtepointe Bench
The Courtepointe bench is based on a traditional quilt pattern used for quilts that were often part of a wedding trousseau.
The Pays d'en haut Legacy collection, which marks a steady evolution for Samare, was shown at Salone Satellite in Milan this year.

NAB glitch cripples Medicare claims
PUBLISHED: 29 Feb 2012 17:25:16 | UPDATED: 01 Mar 2012 06:33:17PRINT EDITION: 29 Feb 2012
Thousands of customers have been prevented from making immediate private health insurance claims and Medicare transactions because of a computer glitch.
Customers were unable to use the Health Industry Claims and Payments Service (HICAPS), owned by National Australia Bank, on Wednesday because of software faults.
HICAPS asked customers to claim directly through their health funds or Medicare, while it worked to fix the problem.
The news follows glitches at the Commonwealth Bank earlier in the day, which caused ATM and EFTPOS services to crash across the country.
HICAPS provides payment and settlement systems to about 35 health funds and almost 28,000 health service providers, the company's website said.
The incident is the second problem NAB has had with HICAPS systems in February, with an earlier problem crippling ATM and EFTPOS systems as well.

Microsoft makes fun of iPad using Siri's voice in latest Windows 8 ad [Video]
Posted By Enrique Manalang On May 23, 2013 @ 8:39 AM In iOS,Windows | 1 Comment
Now this is interesting. For Microsoft's newest Windows 8 commercial, the company decided that they would use one of Apple's own features against them — Siri.
The ad shows Siri highlighting all the different things that the iPad can't do, and Microsoft's Surface tablet can. Multitasking is of course one of them but the lack of Microsoft Office is a curious choice, since an iOS version of software suite is rumored to be in the works.
But the best shot fired comes at the end, where they make fun of a particular Apple ad. [2]
It's one of Microsoft's better ads actually. And coming right after their especially well done Windows Phone ad [3], it looks like the company's advertising department is on a roll.

The touring production of the successful off-Broadway comedy is currently at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. At the end of the month, it will move on to Palm Beach's Royal Poinciana Playhouse. Martin's "what-if" tale imagines a fictional meeting between the brilliant German physicist who changed our understanding of the world and Pablo Picasso, the innovative Spanish artist who revolutionized the way we view it.
It's 1904, and both men are in their twenties, on the threshold of their creative breakthroughs. The future Nobel Prize-winning scientist is one year away from publishing five papers on quantum mechanics, which include his formula establishing that mass is a form of energy, E=mc2. Picasso, meanwhile, is stuck in his "blue period," a literal reference to the color used in his works. In three years he will finish his groundbreaking Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, which will lead him toward cubism and the development of the abstract art movement.
In his 90-minute play, presented without an intermission, Martin adds nothing to our historical knowledge of the pair's early lives. What he does provide is a fun-filled visit with a couple of wild and crazy guys who are just as interested in picking up girls as changing history. Martin's quirky blend of fantasy and reality is neatly tied together by director Randall Arney, who guided the 1993 Chicago premiere as well as subsequent productions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, off-Broadway, and Tokyo.
Scott Bradley, another veteran of the American productions, is also on hand with a compact, yet evocative, touring set of mismatched bar tables and stools placed in front of a gleaming dark-wood bar that runs the width of the stage. A sign under the proscenium announces that we are in the Montmartre bistro Lapin Agile, which the real-life Picasso frequented. Short of cash, the young artist once painted a canvas to settle a bar bill there.
On this particular day, a first-time visitor shows up. Einstein (Mark Nelson) is a lowly 25-year-old patent office clerk looking for a beautiful redhead who promised to meet him at the Bar Rouge. An unlikely ladies' man, the pragmatic Einstein decides he may as well hang out at the Lapin Agile. "I'm a theorist, and the way I see it," he explains to Freddy (Ian Barford), the bar's owner, "there is as much chance of her wandering in here accidentally as there is of her wandering into the Bar Rouge on purpose."
When Freddy and waitress Germaine (Kimberly King) catch him scribbling in a notebook, they peg him for another fledgling novelist and press him for the name of his book. Einstein replies "The Special Theory of Relativity. Catchy, yup?"
In that paper, published in 1905, the real-life Einstein suggested that time and motion are relative to the observer. But, as played here, Einstein is a phenomenon from any perspective. Nelson picked up an Obie Award for his performance in the New York production, and, on one level, he conveys everything we expect in a young Einstein; he's quixotic and lightning fast. But this tour-de-force performance also suggests that Einstein was a man who giggled at the thoughts in his head while remaining keenly interested in those around him. In the play, consequently, no one can resist his gravitational pull.
Soon Einstein is helping Freddy with the bar accounts, in one case untangling a hilarious word problem involving a wine shipment. He even agrees with the elderly lecher Gaston (Jim Mohr) that all wine should go for the same price, because it gets you equally drunk. When Sagot (Ken Grantham), an art dealer, arrives looking to score a few cheap paintings from starving artists, the patrons debate over the dreadful landscape painting behind the bar.
Far from dreadful is the beautiful Suzanne (Susannah Schulman), who, in front of the astonished barflies, changes into a sexy camisole and settles in to wait for Picasso to show. When Einstein asks if she actually knows the painter, she sighs and says, "Twice."
Fascinated by her tales of Picasso's passion for "seeing things that can't be named," Einstein can't wait to meet a fellow genius. The feeling turns out to be less than mutual when the 23-year-old Picasso (Paul Provenza) finally arrives, looking for women. Best known for his standup monologues on talk shows, Provenza amusingly plays Picasso as an egotistical Latin lover who uses his artistic abilities as a come-on to seduce Parisian beauties.
Picasso eventually turns his attention to the new competition. He is sure of his place in history and more than a little put off by the spike-haired egghead who thinks that science is more important than art. After some verbal jousting, the two square off like Wild West gunslingers and pull pencils out of their pockets. Yelling "Draw!" they attack scraps of paper. "This will change the world," Picasso says of his quick sketch. "Oh, and like this won't?" Einstein retorts, his famous formula in hand.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Neches River (/ˈneɪtʃɨz/; Alibamu: Nìichi)[1] flows for 416 miles (669 km) through east Texas to its mouth on Sabine Lake near the Rainbow Bridge. Two major reservoirs, Lake Palestine and B. A. Steinhagen Reservoir are located on the Neches. Several cities are located along the Neches River Basin, including Evadale, Tyler, Lufkin, Silsbee, Beaumont, Vidor, Port Neches, Nederland, Groves, and Port Arthur.
From Lake B.A. Steinhagen down to Beaumont, the Neches River flows through the 97,000 acres (390 km2) Big Thicket National Preserve. This important ecosphere preserves the area where several ecosystems converge - an event that harkens back to the last glacial period. The Big Thicket Visitor Center is off U.S. Highway 69 several miles north of Kountze.
The Lower Neches Valley Authority is the river authority which oversees the Neches River in Tyler, Hardin, Liberty, Chambers, and Jefferson counties of Texas.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service purchased land along the Neches River 2006 for the creation of the Neches River National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge currently covers 1-acre (4,000 m2), but is proposed for 25,000 acres (100 km2). The refuge is to include land on which Dallas had proposed to build a reservoir to meet the water needs of the city and its surrounding suburbs. Tentatively named Lake Fastrill, this reservoir was not scheduled to be built until 2050. Dam proponents say that the wildlife refuge was put there in order to block the dam from ever being erected. The city of Dallas and the Texas Water Development Board filed a lawsuit in 2007 against the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, claiming the wildlife refuge was established without considering the economic and environmental impacts. However, in February 2010 the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, paving the way for the acquisition of lands for the wildlife refuge.
The Port of Beaumont is located on the Neches River at Beaumont, Texas. It begins near the mouth of the river and the Rainbow Bridge.[2]

Star Events Group, the first UK purchaser of the new CyberMotion™ C-Trolley & C-Track system from XLNT's UK sales partner Lift Turn Move, Ltd (LTM), has successfully débuted the system on three weeks of BT London Live shows in Hyde Park during the Olympic Games 2012.
The systems were bought by Star Events Group, leading UK supplier of stages, support structures, rigging and design services.
51 meters of CyberMotion™ C-Track, along with four active and two passive C-Trolleys, were used to safely lift and split a giant 16 x 9 meter video screen of 5200 kg, 144m², at Hyde Park from between 28th July and 11th August 2012.
The versatile C-Track and C-Trolley wide beam track systems are part of XLNT's new CyberMotion™ integrated motion control system, with automated variable speed chain hoist, winch and trolley/track systems. The CyberMotion™ systems meet the international safety standard SIL3 and can achieve speeds up to 240 mtr/min. with loads of 1 tons per trolley. It can also be used on the ground, for example as camera track.
The screen in Hyde Park showed Olympic sporting events and splitted into two halves to reveal the stage for live performances included artists such as Will Young, McFly, Amy Macdonald, Rebecca Ferguson, The Feeling, Alexandra Burke, Kenny Thomas, Blur and many more.
Star Events Group had been asked by Locog 2012 (London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games), in cooperation with concert organizers Live Nation, to supply their services for the BT London Live Hyde Park events.
Neil McDonald who was the production manager for BT London Live shows in Hyde Park stated: "The smooth and stealth like opening and closing of the giant screen never failed to raise a reaction of surprise and delight from the audience and crew alike."
Dan Holme, director of entertainment at Lift Turn Move Ltd, said: "We were given the brief of creating a pretty adventurous giant split screen system, using XL Video's latest lightweight LED panels, to very precisely track a pair of 8x8m screens along a 51m run across the stage width, so that they merged into a single 16x8m videowall for the shows and created a reveal for bands coming onto stage. "We used two powered and one slave trolley per video wall, each running along the specialised, ultra compact C-Track system. With each trolley having a load capacity of 1000kg, and a maximum running speed of 60m per minute or 1m per second, with precision alignment, we were able to achieve the designers' vision for this spectacular effect." He adds: "As they are also rated to handle 500kg with a running speed of up to 240m/min, they open up opportunities to use them as a unique type of camera track, whether hung from a stage roof or used on the floor."
Star Events Group head of rigging, Rick Waterworth, commented: "CyberMotion is incredibly special - it's designed specifically for use in the entertainment industry with the trolley wheels 100 per cent captive inside an extruded track, which is another unique safety feature. It achieves SIL3 status, and in combination with the dedicated C-Controller control desk, it's like nothing else on the market; it's 100 per cent specifically designed for our industry."

Is a wedding gift exchange between the bride and groom a time-honored tradition or no big deal?
It is an optional tradition for the bride and groom to exchange gifts -- the night before the wedding, the morning of, or once the festivities are over. You could give each other something to wear for the wedding itself (cuff links, a necklace) or maybe something for the honeymoon (a great pair of sunglasses, snorkeling gear). It doesn't have to be anything major -- a photo frame or a treasured book of poetry make great gifts. Honor this tradition in whatever way you two desire!

Food Allergy ResourcesTeens and Kids with Food Allergies Need to Be Careful About Kissing
Are You a Careful Kisser?For most parents of teens, when the topic turns to kissing, over-protective thoughts abound. "I've got two daughters and I think they should never kiss anyone!" exclaimed Roger Friedman, MD, Clinical Professor of Allergy, Immunology, and Pediatrics at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. All joking aside, parents of food-allergic children have even more cause to be wary of smooching. Today, 3 to 4 million children are affected by food allergies, and allergic reactions can be triggered not just by consuming food firsthand. Kissingranging from passionate to a peck on the cheekcan also prompt a reaction. Educate Others"You're pretty unlikely to have anything severe happen from a kiss. But it can happen and you need to be smart," Dr. Friedman advised. Kissing becomes a problem when anyonefrom a grandparent to a dateconsumes an allergen before smooching a food-allergic child or teen. "A peck on the cheek from a parent or relative will almost always only result in a local reaction such as a welt or hive; it's very unlikely to cause any severe reaction that youd be worried about," Dr. Friedman explained. He recommends teenagers, especially, play it safe. Todd D. Green, MD, Assistant Professor of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology at Children''s Hospital of Pittsburgh, agreed. "If a date cares enough about you to kiss you, hopefully theyll care enough to refrain from eating the food youre allergic to that day," he said. Avoid AllergensKissing (and even sharing utensils, straws and cups) causes exposure to food allergens through saliva, which can contain enough allergen to cause local and systemic allergic reactions. In a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, participants ingested two tablespoons of peanut butter to establish how long the peanut allergen stays in saliva. Researchers collected the saliva of the participants at different times, and also evaluated mouth-cleansing techniques (brushing teeth, rinsing and chewing gum. According to the study, "the most effective way to avoid causing an allergic reaction, if youre going to eat the food to which your partner is allergic, is to eat the food several hours before a kiss and have a meal free of the allergen before you kissalthough not eating the food at all would always be the safest approach," said Dr. Green. Though the risk of having a severe allergic reaction from a kiss is small, there is always a slight possibility, said Dr. Green. "Unfortunately you cant predict the amount of protein that will be transferred during kissing, and it is difficult to predict the reaction," he said. That said, it is better to err on the safe side. Dr. Friedman reminds parents that a kiss is unlikely to be 'the kiss of death.' "Worry about the right things," he advised. "Overall, the risks of developing a severe reaction from a kiss are rare and unusual." Smooch SafelyFood allergic children and teens should follow these pointers before they pucker up:

I remembered another attention worthy phenomenon. In fact, it's photography technique. To be more specific – Ben Thomas and his project "CityShrinker". You probably already noticed that something in this photo is off. It looks like everything is real, but in sorts of diorama proportions. Maybe to the majority of you this is nothing new, but I am not going to explain how to achieve this kind of effect or analyze it in depth. Just thought that if I enjoy seeing this kind of stuff time to time, maybe you will too.
My goal is, with every shot, to provide that feeling of something new. My method: take something big and reduce it to the size of the model. Take something obvious and make you think for a second : "wait a minute, isn't this…"- Ben Thomas
Born in 1981 in Australia this photographer has graduated from "International Design Effects and Animation School" and only later in his life he took photography more seriously. Lately, B. Thomas moved to Melbourne where he continues to change people's approach towards ordinary things.
In short: this miniature effect can be achieved by photographing big composition with as many details as you can put in it. Afterwards, all you have to do is leave focus as it is in some places and remove focus from other places. For this kind of effect, of course, you can use special "tilt-shift" technique which allows flexibly change focus points by tilting every lens of photo camera separately from other ones. But this is achieved much easier and faster using simplest Photoshop functions and your brain.

McKenry in the three hole in starting debut
Posted By Jim Armstrong On October 3, 2010 @ 12:51 pm In Game Day | No Comments
ST. LOUIS — The Rockies have, shall we say, an ecclectic lineup on the field for their season finale.
How so? Mike McKenry, the proud owner of a bunch of Triple A hits but none in the majors, is in the three hole.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy had told McKenry earlier in the week that he would start today, but hitting third wasn't part of the conversation.
"That kind of put me back a little bit, I'm not going to lie," McKenry said. "Just to be in the lineup is a blessing, but I don't know what to say about the three hole."
Jay Payton or Matt Miller manned the three hole at Colorado Springs this season. So why was McKenry hitting third in his first major league start?
Simple. He's looking for his first big-league hit and Tracy wanted to get him as many at-bats as he could to get it. McKenry wasn't the only one hoping he could land in the hit column. His parents, wife and several friends made the trip from Knoxville, Tenn., to see him.
