Kroloff Departs Tulane for Cranbrook
The Cranbrook Art Academy has appointed Reed Kroloff, the current dean of Tulane University's architecture school, as its director. Kroloff will assume his new post at the school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, on July 1. He was selected after a seven-month-long search and review of 150 candidates nationwide.
Kroloff's time at Tulane, which began in the fall of 2004, was marked by tumult. After shepherding the school through its dislocation and resettlement during the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he played an integral role in helping it to retain nearly all students and faculty after the storm. In addition, the school's new CITYbuild program initiated design programs to aid in the recovery of local neighborhoods. More controversial, though, was Kroloff's work with the Bring New Orleans Back Commission Urban Planning Committee. The group's action plan sparked protest from community members who feared that their houses were threatened by the development of new parks. Moreover, Kroloff's public statements and articles, on topics ranging from New Urbanism to race, raised eyebrows within the architectural community.
Although the Cranbrook position promises to be less contentious, it does bring with it some complexities. The academy oversees studio-based education in 10 disciplines, including architecture, metalwork, and three-dimensional design. Kroloff will also likely continue his responsibilities as a principal of Jones/Kroloff Design Services, an architect-selection advisor specializing in education and cultural institutions.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Between 1989 and 1995, Kroloff taught at Arizona State University and rose to assistant dean. He went on to become the editor-in-chief of the now-defunct magazine Architecture. At Cranbrook, he replaces Gerhardt Knodel, who has been director since 1996. Knodel announced in March 2006 that he would step down so that he could return to his textile practice fulltime.

Manama: A Saudi divorcee will marry again at the same time as her ex-husband and at a venue adjacent to the one where he is hosting his reception.
Woman to remarry same night, same place as ex-husband
Saudi woman to remarry same night, same place after former beau decides to marry her relative
- By Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief
- Published: 08:59 August 24, 2013
Go girl go! its what you call Girl Power
singh, mumbai, India
The story seems concocted to create hero-villain binaries as it misses important details. For example, It would be interesting to learn about the nature of the first marriage and how the man in love with the woman feels about her recent choices before reaching any conclusion. Whether she is courageous or revengeful boil down to mere speculations.
Sanam Malik, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
It would be nice if it is in the same venue and if one can change the sign-boards on the day of the wedding so that the ex-husband would walk into the wedding hall of his ex-wife instead of the new wife!! LOL!!!!
Ahmad, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Most of the comments, whether in favor or against this woman, are stereo typed, one sided, it's all about this woman. I am not sure whether or not someone has commented about what the husband has done. I would admire any woman who can stand up and speak for her rights. Her reaction is objectionable to some but what about the husband's action of marrying another woman?
M Kamal, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
According to a report in local Arabic daily Al Jazeera, the woman, in her 30s, had refused to take a new husband after her divorce despite a proposal from a man who had requested to marry her before her unfortunate marriage.
She attributed her refusal to take a new man in her life to the hope that her ex-husband might change his mind and re-marry her.
But she was shocked to learn that her former husband was about to marry one of her relatives.
Following a flurry of inquiries, she confirmed the news.
Facing the new facts, the woman told the man madly in love with her that she was willing to marry him, but demanded that the marriage ceremony be held on the same evening as the wedding reception of her former husband and in the same area.
Most readers' comments condemned the woman for her "revenge-driven" attitudes rather than "positive, forward-looking mindset".
"There is no love here," one comment read. "It is all about exacting revenge and challenging the former husband. The new husband seems to have no place in her heart."
Adwani, a blogger, attributed the woman's attitude to the strong effect of Turkish drama on Arab viewers.
"Obviously this woman has been deeply influenced by the dramatic events unfolding on her television station," he posted. "She wanted to live one of them."
However, some comments praised the woman for her "courage."
"I admire this type of woman," Al Faleh posted. "She has a strong character and may God guide her always. I admire women who do not give up their rights and who know how to handle a situation when they are unfairly treated. I am sure she had suffered at the hands of her former husband."
Ali said that he failed to understand the woman's feelings.
"I wonder whether it is strong love for her former husband that is driving her to be physically close to him even though they are taking new spouses," the blogger posted. "Or is it a strong sense of revenge by a woman who felt she had been unfairly hurt? The story simply cannot end here."

Paul Kelly does not like Gabe Ruediger one bit. They were supposed to fight in the UFC several times but Ruediger pulled out with injuries and the fight never happened. But Ruediger had lots to say about Kelly each time they were lined up to fight and Kelly never forgot it. Now they are matched for April, where they will meet on the second card being staged by SuperFight League, the new MMA event recently launched in India. Kelly can't wait. In this interview he also addresses the controvery stemming from his fight with Donald Cerrone just before leaving the UFC. He then cheap shots me in the balls and was lucky to escape with his life. If I wasnt nursing a new cut over my eye, he would no longer be with us. If you are from outside the UK, much of this video is likely to be incomprehensible to you. To summarise - he wants to batter Ruediger and didnt intend to cheap shot Cerrone. watch video >>

Posts regarding layoffs at Brocade Communications Systems Inc.
BRCD message board
Is there a good discussion board on BRCD? I am not with the company and I have no info on layoffs. I invest in your company and would like to share info with Share Holders.
More cuts slated for April 2014
Did you hear something about this? Just heard rumors, with Brocade you never know, always on my toes...
Brocade Boy
If you did not know, we are in the process of letting 7% of our peeps go - SEVEN!!! It's a major chunk of the workforce and you can expect the numbers to go up. I'd say that 2014 will bring even more layoffs, so you might want to start preparing your resume. I am sure the back office will be hit, IT will be hit, other corp positions. We have around five thousand employees right now, Brocade today looks different, we've gotten too big and too fat, we are moving slovely
Brocade Communications wants people to know a few things:
Brocade is definitely not for sale.
Brocade is still the leader in the (shrinking) Fibre Channel storage market.
Brocade beat analysts' expectations in its latest quarterly financial statement.
Oh, and Brocade is also laying off 7 percent of its workforce and shuttering several facilities to try to save $100 million by the time its fiscal year ends Oct. 31.
News of the layoffs to Brocade's global staff of 4,180 was tucked into the 8-K report the company filed Sept. 10, but were extracted by British news outlet The Register.
Despite rumors that have been circulating for years, Brocade has never been up for sale, is not currently up for sale and doesn't plan to put itself up for sale, according to Brocade spokesperson Katie Bromley in a Sept. 10 interview with The VAR Guy.
Company CEO Lloyd Carney said the same thing to Bloomberg News in January, contradicting a long list of stories going back to at least 2009 that predicted Brocade was looking for a buyer.
Brocade's policy is to not comment on rumors, Bromley said, which explains why the company has not squashed previous chatter. It doesn't explain why it would leap up to deny an offhand reference in a Sept. 9 VAR Guy blog post referring to Brocade as "a company that has been up for sale since December 2009," though that post didn't include a link to the long list of stories citing acquisition rumors that was included in today's edition.
It's probably just coincidence that the denial of acquisition rumors came out the same day as an 8-K report listing layoffs and facility closings under the heading Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (PDF).
The layoffs and closures are an effort to shift resources from Brocade's current business, which revolves around sales of Fibre Channel (whose impending death is also exaggerated) to a model that balances datacenter storage, datacenter fabrics and Software Defined Networking (SDN) as well as Storage Area Networks (SANs), in an effort to keep up with a fast-changing market.
Fibre Channel, which is used primarily in SANs, is gradually losing ground to other protocols, including iSCSI and FCoE, which ride on top of 10Gbit/sec Ethernet, rather than the more expensive, more finicky Fibre Channel.
The market for SAN products dropped 10 percent, to $594 million, during the first quarter of 2013, according to a June report from Dell'Oro Group.
A strong second quarter for datacenter networking sales did boost the numbers for Fibre Channel Switching, according to an Aug. 29 report from Crehan Research. But Fibre was largely riding on the coattails of 10Gbit/sec Ethernet, and Brocade rival Cisco got the best of the boost as spiking sales of its MDS 9700 Director switch drove Cisco's Fibre Channel revenue up by 40 percent compared to 2012, the Crehan report found.
Brocade did post revenues of $536.6 million for its fiscal third quarter, which works out to income of 19 cents per share, substantially higher than the consensus Wall Street expectation of 12 cents.
Brocade's stock rose more than 15 percent to a 52-week high on the news, even though actual revenue dropped 3.5 percent from the same quarter last year, when it pulled in $555.3 million.
Rumors that Fibre Channel is becoming passé have more to do with hype over Ethernet than weakness in Fibre Channel, according to market breakdown by IDC analyst Ashish Nadkarni. Brocade is moving in the right direction by expanding into SDN, pushing the new-generation 16Gbps Fibre Channel, focusing more on its datacenter fabric and acknowledging the need for more interoperability with OpenStack and other, newer datacenter plans, Nadkarni added.
But that doesn't mean it's out of the woods yet. Though it has done well enough with the SAN business that makes up 61 percent of its revenue, the company hasn't pushed hard enough on Fibre Channel or, alternately, hard enough on non-Fibre technologies to create much long-term optimism, according to Rajesh Ghai, analyst at financial-analysis firm Craig Hallum, as quoted in Reuters.
"The company hasn't performed that well in the past," Ghai said in the Aug. 13 story. "It has kind of come out and executed against the low bar."
Right now, at least, things are looking up for Brocade, according to stock-analysis site Zacks.com, which rated it a Buy.
As of Sept. 9, in fact, Brocade stock price of $7.70 was 21.8 percent above what Wall Street analysts thought it was worth; that's 50 percent higher than its 52-week low of $5.14 in July.
None of that means anything specific about whether Brocade is now or ever was up for sale. After years of silence on the topic, however, Brocade decided yesterday to say, specifically, it is not.
Brocade Communications Systems Inc. is reportedly pursuing a potential sale that could mean big changes for San Jose's fourth biggest tech employer.
The company has looked for buyout opportunities before, including in 2009 when it held talks with Hewlett-Packard Co. It appears that discussions with various suitors have been renewed, with Reuters reporting on Jan. 9 that the company is talking to several private equity buyers and recently hired Frank Quattrone's Qatalyst Partners to help them pursue a buyout deal.
Now, a question mark hangs over what a deal could mean for a company that has more than 2,000 local employees, moved into a brand-new 562,000-square-foot North San Jose headquarters in September 2010.
Analysts said the company is being spurred into a sale by an under-performing stock performance and pressure from shareholder Elliott Associates, which has an approximately 10 percent stake in the company.
Brocade's stock has improved over the last couple of months, closing at $5.77 on Jan. 11 from a low of below $3.50 in August. But overall, growth has been stagnant: $5.77 was the exact same price it opened at on Jan. 11, 2011. Bloomberg reported that the company would be an extremely cheap buy: It was trading at 7.7 times its cash from operations, while the median among comparable companies was 17 times.
Brocade is the biggest player in its core business, making "fibre channel" networking equipment. However, they also branched into another area of networking hardware, ethernet switches, by acquiring Foundry Networks Inc. in 2008.
Best company solution
The fibre channel business is large and highly-profitable, but there's not much room to grow and there are doubts about the technology's longevity, said Bill Choi, a New York-based analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott. Brocade's ethernet business has more opportunity, but the company only has a tiny share of the market.
"What you're looking at is can you break this out in pieces," Choi said. "Someone's going to want the high growth opportunity in ethernet and somebody else is going to want the slower growth" in fibre channel equipment.
Silver Lake Partners, TPG Capital, Blackstone Group LP, Bain Capital and Warburg Pincus LLC were named by Reuters as potential private equity buyers. Brocade declined to comment on a potential sale.
"I think (Brocade) lost the confidence of the investment community so it's difficult to attract talent when stock is underperfoming," said San Francisco-based analyst Erik Suppiger with JMP Group. "At least amongst the investors there's a lot of concern that (their ethernet) strategy is not working and is not going to work. Certain private equity might be inclined to restructure and just take the company in a different direction. Still, a takeover by another major tech company instead of a private equity firm is a possibility, though a less likely one, analysts said.
Hewlett-Packard, Dell Inc. and IBM Corp. have all been named as potential buyers, but they've already made acquisitions in the networking business that would make Brocade somewhat redundant, such as HP's 2010 acquisition of 3Com Corp., Suppiger said. He named Oracle Corp. and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. as others who could have a potential strategic interest.
A strategic deal with a tech company may be problematic because about two-thirds of Brocade's revenue comes from sales through other companies such as HP and IBM, said San Francisco-based analyst Matthew Robison, of Wunderlich Securities. If Brocade were acquired by one of those companies, the price would likely have to be discounted and other companies might have to drop their agreements with Brocade due to competitive considerations.
"You can see where if you were IBM and you buy Brocade, you say automatically I don't get that revenue (from IBM) anymore because I'd be selling to myself, or you might say, 'Hey HP is going to quit buying (Brocade's) stuff because I own it now,'" Robison said.
If Brocade is bought by a private equity firm, any employee layoffs and other changes likely would not happen until the firm decided whether to break the company up and how to do it, Suppiger said.
Stay in San Jose
Regardless, the fate of the company is of major importance to San Jose. Mayor Chuck Reed said keeping the company in the city is one of San Jose's "success stories."
When Reed learned from Brocade CEO Mike Klayko that the company was expanding and considering leaving the area, Reed said, "I asked him to give us a chance to see what we could do to help him stay in San Jose. He gave us a chance."
The city offered Brocade an incentive of $4 million in redevelopment agency funds to locate its headquarters at the @ First development in San Jose.
The company is an active corporate citizen, and Klayko is chairman of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. Carl Guardino, the group's CEO, calls Brocade a "classic" Silicon Valley success story. "They bet on San Jose when not everyone was doing that, especially during the downturn," Guardino said.
Execs bragged about cost cutting measures in the most recent cc, with more coming in future. I would not be surprised to see massive layoffs, similar to what happened at Cisco back in June (I think they cut 4,000 folks). The industry is in a general decline, especially with reduced government spending and further cuts looming.
More than 300 people got let go today. This affected all levels and there is a general consensus that more is to come...
Brocade used to be a great company to work for, now the only purpose is to fill pockets of senior execs - nobody cares about workers any more, it's a huge robbery...

Mike Rupp Destroying The Entire Devils Team In One Swoop
If you're down 3-0, its time to send in the enforcer to do some damage. That shot to Brodeur was hilarious. Dude looked like Fulton Reed out there.
And you gotta love Torts and DeBoer going at it. Those two should just square off and get it over with. If this series is still tied at the end of regulation of game 7, just let Torts and DeBoer throw down – winner takes all.

SauteePan - I agree with everything that you said. However, in my condo building the lady in the unit above me removed her carpet and installed parquet floors.
According to the condo rules she was supposed to install soundproofing material when she had the floors installed, but did not.
I hear everything. When she pulls out a chair, I hear it. It is really annoying, but that is something that you have to remember to do if you get these floors installed especially if you live in a building.

Danish television was initially flattered that President Obama welcomed Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt to the Oval Office last month by pronouncing that the mighty Danes "punch above their weight in international affairs."
Very flattering.
Except President Obama has also, in the very same Oval Office setting, found that "Norway punches above its weight." Ireland, too. And the Netherlands. Even the Philippines.
The Danish television show Detektor brilliantly strings together the tape, Jon-Stewart style and finds President Obama's speechwriters are doing a lot of cutting and pasting.

My name is Patrick Gallagher. I'm the director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and I'm here today to talk to you about Chapter 6—Revitalizing U.S. Manufacturing.
This is a critical topic to me because NIST's purpose is to support U.S. industry's competitiveness through measurement science and technology.
Manufacturing plays a special role in our economy. As Chapter 6 points out, the manufacturing sector is a significant part of our overall GDP, but it also is instrumental in creating high quality, high pay jobs in our economy and in supporting our national infrastructure and national defense.
But one point about manufacturing is often not well understood and that's that the manufacturing sector itself plays a critical role in our nation's capacity to innovate. Almost two-thirds of our research and development capacity in the business sector is based in manufacturing-based industries. Manufacturing also plays a critical role in trade. Most of our tradable economy is based in the manufacturing sector.
But manufacturing is a private sector activity. The federal government doesn't manufacture anything.
So given the importance of manufacturing, what's the federal role in addressing this? Well, manufacturing is a very broad sector. There are a lot of activities here and the federal government's role in manufacturing is equally broad, but just as critical. It includes investments we make in research and development infrastructure—the subject of Chapter 3. It includes our investments and focus on education and workforce development. It includes our role in supporting and promoting U.S. small and mid-size businesses. It includes our efforts in trade policy to promote fair and equitable trade.
In short, the health of our nation's economy depends on the health of our U.S. manufacturing sector. This is why revitalizing U.S. based manufacturing should be a national priority. Or, as Secretary Bryson said, our goal should be to "Build it here and sell it everywhere."

Atomic Test Films
Name: Donald Status: other Grade: other Location: DC Country: N/A Date: 8/24/2005
Where can I find information on the technology used in the cameras that were used to film the early atomic tests in the Pacific? I read that some of the cameras used at the "Mike" test of the first fusion device ran at 3.5 million frames per second effective speed. That is astounding. I would like to learn more. Thanks!
I am not sure where you would find out info about optical cameras, but in the book: "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" the author Richard Rhodes mentions "...flash X-ray equipment--high current X-ray tubes that pulsed as rapidly as every ten-millionth of a second--proved most useful for detonation-wave studies." page 573. Chapter 13 of the same book, entitled "Trinity" pg. 617ff. describes the first atomic test and mentions high speed photography and other high speed data acquisition (pg. 671ff.), but "how fast" was not fully quantified, but certainly in the millisecond time scale.

I just learned recently that the most intelligent female friend I've ever had, a fellow science student, DOES NOT HATE NIGGERS! She came directly from France and even THERE people are indoctrinated to love the nigger ape beast. She wanted to teach me some French and she showed me a nog doing standup comedy.
I asked her almost verbatim, "Why the fuck are you showing me t.v. shows about NIGGERS? Don't you have any WHITE or ASIAN people we can watch instead?"
She went on to show me this fucking ape prattling on in French about clubs, trying to fuck white women, being poor, EATING CHICKEN (seriously), and all of this when a fucking White French woman comes up on stage and they sing a song about coalburning.
GOD I HATE NIGGERS! My "friend" even gave me counterexamples to try to disprove genetically inferior intelligence! I was at the time amazed at how French niggers were literal carbon copies of American niggers in every possible way, so how she could say this shit is beyond me.
That's it... as much as it hurts me, this girl is expelled from my inner circle forever. No friend of niggers is a friend of MINE. If she calls me to hang out again, I'm going to refuse and tell her that if she wants the continued benefits of my close friendship, she better start hating niggers TOO or else!

Pool Owners: Help keep everyone safe with these tips from Amica Insurance
LINCOLN, RI – More than 60 percent of all pool-related deaths and injuries occur in pools owned by the victim's family or friends, according to federal statistics. That's why Amica Insurance is sharing some important safety tips and reminders for pool owners this summer.
Each year, nearly 400 children drown in pools and spas, and more than 5,000 others are treated for pool-related injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. People who own pools need to be especially cautious because more than 70 percent of all pool injuries occur in backyard pools, including in-ground, above-ground and portable pools.
Pool owners need to take safety precautions, even when their pools aren't in use, said Michael Gillerlane, a senior assistant vice president with Amica Insurance. Make sure pools are fenced with self-closing gates and that pool areas and ladders are secure.
"Even wading pools pose a drowning risk for toddlers and young children," Gillerlane said. "So make sure to empty wading pools when they're not being used."
The American Red Cross and the CPSC also recommend that pool owners:
- Don't let anyone swim unsupervised in a pool.
- Fence pools with a four-foot or taller fence with self-closing and self-latching gates. Make sure pool gates are closed and locked, especially when not in use.
- Install pool and gate alarms.
- Keep life jackets and flotation devices on hand.
- Assign a "water watcher" to keep an eye on anyone swimming in the pool.
- Keep emergency equipment, such as life preservers, a first aid kit and a cell phone, nearby.
- When the pool is not in use, remove all pool toys.
"Pools are great fun, but they also come with risks and responsibilities – for swimmers and homeowners alike," Gillerlane said. "It's important that everyone understand the importance of pool safety to ensure that everyone has a fun, safe summer."
The CPSC offers additional tips and information on its website, www.poolsafely.gov. Additional pool safety information can be found on the American Red Cross website.

When Is It OK To Use The Opposite Sex's Restroom?
Recently, I went to a concert, had to pee REALLY REALLY bad and of course the women's restroom was packed full, so I used the men's bathroom. I thought nothing of it, until a security guard stopped me and reprimanded me. So when is it OK to use the opposite sex's bathroom?

Shipping was fairly quick. The mirror arrived in good condition - I was at first hesitant and concerned that it might break in transit but the packaging was great. The mirror itself is really nice. New accent in my living room. Good deal for sure.
I love this mirror! The leather makes it look rich and adds a nice touch from the normal wooden frames that one usually sees on mirrors. It sits on my living room floor and accents the room quite nicely. I am thinking of buying another one to put next to it since the wall it sits on could use more mirror. I am just in love with it!
This is a beautiful mirror! It is very sturdy and a very high quality mirror. I was a little leary that I would nit be happy with this purchase but I am thrilled. I replaced another mirror in the master bedroom with this one. It looks very expensive and has quality leather. I was really impressed with the weight of the mirror. No worries that my grandchildren will knock it over. It weighs 65 pounds! I am sooooo glad I kept checking with Overstock to find a mirror that I didn't have to pay too much for but was proud to own. This is it!
I love the size, color and quality of the mirror. I t match perfectly with my decor in my living room. The only recommendation I have is for the manufacturer to include some hardware in the back to allow end user to hang this beautiful mirror on the wall.
Mirror was is great. Heavy duty .. built well and looks great very happy
Wonderful high quality leaning mirror for wall in master. LOVE IT!
Has last 2 moves without a scratch, the leather looks great next to our Wooden floors
this would have gotten 5 stars but it was delivered shattered. unfortunately had to throw it away.
GREAT floor mirror............have one in my bed room.........look so good I ordered another for my living room.
For the price and length of this mirror it was a steal for me!!!! the mirror is not cheap in quality at all its been in my bedroom dining room and now currently in my living room!!! LOVE IT!

Sometimes that can be overwhelming, though. Read The Full Review » In the Kitchen Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPadIn the Kitchen is an all round quality app for the budding chef in your life, or in your head. Read The Full Review » Call me a cynic, but it seems to me that year after year, we find ourselves being inundated with reminders of the holiday season earlier and earlier. I used to think that it was crazy to hear Christmas music on the radio before Thanksgiving, but a recent addition to the App Store seems to be taking this pre-celebration insanity that to another level. Gifts HD, a new app being promoted as a holiday shopping organizer, is hitting before the trick-or-treaters have even had a chance to knock on your door. Trust me, in my exceedingly old age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of basic daily information, so something that could help me tame the insanity of my Christmas list would be amazing. I guess that has a tendency to happen when you come from an extended family that consists of over fifty cousins! So how exactly is this supposed to redefine how I experience the holiday rush? Just looking at this list of features leaves my mind swimming with possibilities. If you were curious on how all of these seemingly different features work together, check out this handy tutorial trailer below. The background Christmas tunes alone make it well worth your time. Productivity apps like this one prove why the iPad is the kind of device that can redefine your lifestyle. Gone is the nonsense of pen and paper, replacing it with the glory that is multi-touch. Now is the time to embrace the future possibilities that only this device can provide. This could very well be a godsend to countless "Secret Santas" out there – will you be one of them? A friend (who happens to be an app developer) and I were discussing the other day the feasibility of a grocery store app that would help users find what they were looking for. The general thought was that it would be a neat app, but the time spent to money earned ratio didn't really seem to make the app worth it, at least in our eyes. Aisle411 doesn't think so, however, as they are releasing "the first comprehensive mobile shopping platform for (the) iPhone." The app lets users find specific items in stores, and even guides them to the specific section of the aisle. In addition, the app provides product reviews, a shopping list generator, social network integration, and provides reward points and coupons for specific items. "According to National Consumer Research, 83 percent of shoppers have trouble finding what they are looking for in stores," said Nathan Pettyjohn, CEO, aisle411. "The launch of our iPhone App and mobile website will dramatically transform the way customers find what they are looking for and make purchase decisions. As more shoppers engage with mobile technology to enhance everything from building shopping lists and finding product reviews, to navigating retail environments and sharing their shopping experiences with friends, aisle411's groundbreaking solution is evolving the way consumers interact with retailers, advertisers and brands." The Aisle411 iPhone app is looking to launch this fall and will be available in over 1,400 retail stores in the US. There's been no mention of social achievements or status rankings yet, but I'm absolutely dying to be the mayor of Safeway, aisle 5. Note: The video below further explains the benefits of the Aisle411 system to retailers, but it only describes the current service that is available for free by dialing 1-877-AISLE-411.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Why this high profile resignation will cost millions
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 26th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Jesse Jackson Jr.'s swift resignation, on the heels of his reelection, will cost taxpayers a lot of money. Under investigation by federal authorities for alleged misuse of campaign funds, Jackson suddenly resigned even before the latest votes were certified, citing a mental health condition. CHICAGO, IL (Catholic Online) - That sudden departure will cost taxpayers, although it is not clear how much. It will at least be in the millions and could possibly run as high as $5.1 million according to the state elections board.The reason for the price tag is the state must prepare and hold two elections, a primary and a general, and both elections will be special elections, so they will not be piggybacked on normal, already paid-for elections. This bill is just the latest one to hit taxpayers as a result of Jackson's activities. According to prosecutors, Jackson may have inappropriately spent money monitored by Congress. Jackson has admitted to being the subject of no less than two separate federal investigations. The House Ethics Committee and the FBI are both investigating him. Despite these investigations, and his long absence (since June) for bipolar disorder treatment, Jackson was reelected by a large margin. Jackson has also cited clinical depression and gastrointestinal problems for his absence from work. He is being treated at the Mayo Clinic. Jackson's hijinks have not been restricted to money. In 2007, Jackson nearly came to blows with Republican legislator, Lee Terry (R - NB) and he challenged Terry to a fight. Although Jackson eventually backed down from the challenge, a man later claiming to be his "hit man" showed up in Terry's office, which prompted an immediate FBI investigation. Despite the high cost to replace Jackson, it may be well worth it. The troubled representative has been expensive in terms of behavior, investigations, and now special elections. In addition, there is no telling how much money he has misspent, if such allegations are true. Although taxpayers are spending upwards of $5 million to replace the troubled Jackson, the cost may pay off in savings later. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Water on the brain, also known as hydrocephalus, is defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as "a build up of fluid inside the skull, leading to brain swelling." The fluid in question is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which normally cushions the brain and the spinal cord; the CSF also delivers nutrients to the brain, and transports the waste away from the brain. A patient with water on the brain, however, have either a blockage or overproduction of CSF; the excess of CSF puts pressure on the brain, which can lead to damage of brain tissue.
The Mayo Clinic states that one out of every 500 children are diagnosed with water on the brain. The disorder can be present at birth or symptoms can develop slightly later; the damage, however, starts while the child is developing in the womb. If water on the brain is left untreated, the death rate is 50 to 60 percent, according to the NIH; however, the condition can be treated by relieving the pressure, either through surgery or a shunt.

If your only reference was U.S. media, you would think all the belligerence and provocation around the Korean peninsula, was coming from North Korea, whose leaders are too intransigent and irrational to even negotiate with. Luckily, we'll be joined by Journalist Tim Shorrock, who grew up in Japan and South Korea, and reports on East Asia. He'll tell us what the US media it missing in the North Korea story.
Also on CounterSpin today, Republicans lost big in 2012; so why are movers and shakers in the conservative movement talking about their big election season wins? They've shifted their focus to the states, where they're building think tanks and media outlets to push out their message.
