If The Movie Makes 300 Million Do Really Think That The Studio Gives A F*ck What You our I Think Of It Look I Hated Gi Joe But Most PEOPLE Loved It So The Fans Of The Is What Counts And When Ever You Put Your Movie Out Some People Want Like It And And Alot Will Your Going To Worry About The Majority

even though i didn't like gi joe i am always honest i asked people what they thought of the movie and 98% of the people i asked like it alot of critics and nerdy people like some of us just don't get it most people don't watch movies the way we do they don't look for storys special effects acting none that. Like always say most people loved transformers 2 my self included there the reason it's almost at 400 million domestically in 42 days ji joe i hope does well at the box-office even though i didn't like it if it does than it was a great movie and my opinion and few wine tasting critics don't matter it's the fans who are spending the money that matters

it will be a hard sell without tom cruise as the main character but if they cast a great actor like a christian bale or hugh jackman that might work

Zelkovich: Some announcers could use a translator
During a rare weekend television moment that did not involve sports, I stumbled across a show that included the stereotypical Hollywood image of a sports fan: Overweight, under-educated and just smart enough to figure out how to open a bottle of beer without putting out an eye.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
After I resumed my sports watching, it dawned on me within a few hours that Hollywood has it all wrong. Based on the words that flowed from game broadcasts, I realized that sports fans are among the more intelligent members of society.
They have to be in order to have even the most fundamental grasp of what they're watching. I'm not talking about the intricacies of zone defences, the left-wing lock or the double switch. I'm talking about the descriptions of the most basic plays, which for some reason are no longer basic.
A weekend of hockey-watching produced a torrent of mind-numbing phrases. There were references to puck presence, puck support, puck poise, puck pressure and net presence. Outside of an obvious love for alliteration, those who utter these words may have no better idea of what they mean than do the poor saps at home.
On Saturday night, Hockey Night In Canada's Kevin Weekes talked about the Toronto Maple Leafs' "neutral zone posture," which apparently had nothing to with straight spines.
Later in the evening, analyst Garry Galley praised the Florida Panthers' "comeback capabilities."
And when did the boards become "the wall" and what the heck is "a saucer pass?"
It's as if somebody decided that speaking English makes for bad broadcasting. Or maybe it's that all these guys heard somebody else use these phrases, figured he must know what he's talking about and followed suit.
While the hockey talk is baffling, a master's degree in linguistics is required to translate what emerges from CBS basketball analyst Bill Raftery's overworked mouth.
His mysterious musings from Sunday's NCAA coverage will no doubt end up as part of some university curriculum. When a Tennessee player scored a basket, Raftery growled, "Taking his Ritalin."
When another brought down a rebound, Raftery told viewers the player "provides a little bit of a lift and load-up."
After a charging call, he offered this: "Those black chargers are bang-bangers."
And when a player scored while driving to the basket, he thundered: "To the conclusion, with the smooch."
Learning a foreign language is easy compared to what the average sports fan has to do every weekend.

Andrew Heath points to our location on a model of the SMTCL campus in Shenyang, China, before an equipment monitoring display that can also be accessed via handheld devices such as tablets. Click here for more photos from the tour.
My recent two-day tour of the Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. (or SMTCL, a part of SYMG) manufacturing facility in Shenyang, China, and its main foundry in nearby Liaozhong (another is located in Xifeng) revealed a company in control of every stage of production, from mold-making to casting, assembly and shipping. With its own sheet-metal works and paint shop, SMTCL is truly an A-Z operation.
With service/technical centers in the United States and Canada, and locations throughout Germany devoted primarily to engineering and R&D, the main manufacturing campus in Shenyang employs some 14,000 people (18,000 worldwide) and is said to produce approximately 80,000 machine tools each year. These machines include CNC boring machines, the TPX line of manual boring machines and vertical and horizontal CNC milling and turning centers, including five-axis models. In fact, there are more than 300 models in production.
The company acquired Schiess of Germany in 2004, adding huge gantry-type boring and milling centers to its portfolio. Also, the company recently launched the new i5 CNC control developed at SMTCL's R&D facility in Shanghai after six years and an investment of some $150 million.
My invitation to tour the facilities (along with another trade editor from Japan) signaled a move toward greater transparency in preparation for expanding SMTCL's footprint in the global market. I was encouraged to take photographs and ask questions through Import & Export General Manager Andrew Heath, our host and guide.
Beginning in the carpentry shop, where wooden forms are constructed by master woodworkers based on the finished castings so they can be reproduced in the future, the sense of craftsmanship extended through all stages of manufacturing. The foundry was an impressive operation, with the latest technologies producing uniform castings for shipment to SMTCL's assembly works as well as customers located around the world. The ISO/TS16949:2009 quality management system has been fully implemented at the foundry.
Assembly lines are well-organized, with all necessary tools and materials close at hand. The machines proceed through each station in an orderly and synchronized fashion, with technicians attaching components, running electrical wiring, sealing enclosures and measuring dimensions with laser scanners. Whether smaller VMCs or hulking gantry mills are being assembled, work areas are clean, spacious and well-lit.
After touring the facilities, I asked about the company's strategic plans for growth. A new manufacturing facility for tapping machines will soon go online in Guangdong, and the search for a manufacturing site in the United States is ongoing, says Jerry McCarty, COO of SMTCL-Americas. It will be interesting to watch this company continue to establish itself outside of Asia, and particularly in the North American marketplace.

In this installment of After Effects Apprentice, Chris Meyer focuses on ways to edit and enhance layers in After Effects. Through a series of Quizzler challenges and Idea Corner examples, Chris shares alternative ways to employ modes, sequencing, and adjustment layers, while special sidebar movies cover the subjects of creating seamless loops, animating effects points, understanding pixel aspect ratios, and employing Brainstorm to explore the variety of different looks that effects can create. The course also covers tricks for enhancing boring footage and tips for converting scans into moving sequences. Exercise files are included with the course.
The After Effects Apprentice videos on lynda.com were created by Trish and Chris Meyer and are designed to be used on their own and as a companion to their book After Effects Apprentice. We are honored to host these tutorials in the lynda.com Online Training Library®.
You can also trim source material before you add it to a composition. Again, that's another concept that editors may be more familiar with. I am going to click to my Timeline by deleting one of my layers and re-trim it so I see a little more source material here and here and use that as the starting point. Let's say I decide that I would like to insert another clip right at this point in my overall composition where this plane is touching down. To do that, I'll go to my Project panel which holds my source materials, and in the Exercise Files that came with this project I'll twirl open Sources, pick the Clock+Skyline movie and in After Effects CS5 I will double-click it to open it up in its Footage panel, which I am going to go to dock in the same frame as the Comp and Layer panels.
By the way, in After Effects CS4 or earlier double-clicking a QuickTime mov would open it up. In a simplified QuickTime Player, if you still want that behavior, if you still want to see the source inside QuickTime, now as of CS5 you need to hold down Option or Alt when you double-click it. I like this better because double-clicking just gets me right into my Footage panel. While I am in the Footage panel I am looking at the source before it is being used in a composition. I am going to go ahead and drag my time indicator to pick where I want to send my in point to be.
Maybe right at the top of 9 o'clock there, trim my in point to start there, decide where I want it to be out, maybe this next hour which looks to be around 11 o'clock, trim my out point there. Now, I have some choices. My target is my currently forward composition and I can do one of two things. I can do an overlay edit or a ripple insert edit. If I do an overlay edit, I will add this source to the composition pre-trimmed the way I had in Footage panel, beginning at the current time indicator.
So just as that plane touches down I cut to my clock and go back to the plane. I am going to undo, go back to my Footage panel. An alternative is to instead do a ripple insert edit. That says put this new source at the Current Time Indicator but split any layers at the Current Time Indicator and move all later layers back later in time by the duration of this new source. I'll click the button and you'll see down here now I've added my new source but I've split this Jet Landing layer, moved that new segment as well as the Cityscape later in time.
So now my edit goes plane is about to touch down, I switch to the clock and I switch back to that plane just as it did touch down. So you can either overlay without moving anyone else, or ripple insert where you do move other layers later in time. Again, this is probably a concept that editors would be very comfortable with. So we've covered trimming layers in the Timeline panel, the Layer panel, and [00:03:02.20 the Footage panel. But there is one more editing operation I want to show you in the next movie, and that's slip editing layers.

San Francisco police say Special Victims Unit to investigate more cases for evidence of human trafficking
The need to focus investigations on cases of suspected human trafficking was one of the key reasons for the reorganization of the San Francisco Police Department's Special Victims Unit starting this week, the captain in charge of the new office said.
Listen to reporter Jason Winshell interviewed Monday on KQED-FM about this story:
Full-time investigators
Sanctuary policy at issue
Attention to labor trafficking
There is a lot of controversy over the topics of sex trafficking, sex slavery, human trafficking and forced prostitution. Regarding what the definition is, the research methods used to find statistics, what the definition of a victim is, the number of child and adult victims involved, forced vs. unforced sex, how the actual prostitutes themselves feel about it, and legal vs. illegal prostitution. There is a growing number of well respected researchers, journalists, scientists, professors, that have concluded in their research that the sex trafficking, sex slavery concept is based on emotion, morals, and monetary funding rather than facts, evidence and proof. They state that very few kidnapped, forced against their will, physically abused, raped sex slave prostitutes for profit have been found throughout the world. Their research concludes that women who enter into this type of work do so of their own free will. They also state that there are many anti-prostitution groups who simply do not like the idea of consensual adult prostitution and have distorted the facts in order to push their agenda and receive funding and money into their organizations in the form of donations, grants and to change the laws about prostitution. They state that these anti-prostitution groups use made up child sex trafficking statistics which they have no proof or evidence of in order to gain public acceptance for their cause. Here are some good websites about sex trafficking: http://bebopper76.wordpress.com http://sextraffickingtruths.blogspot.com/ http://researchonhumantrafficking.blog.com/ http://sextraffickingvictims.blog.com http://sextraffickingintheusa.wordpress.com/ http://www.villagevoice.com/sex-trafficking/ http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/thread00272_trafficking_hype.htm http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Truth-about-Sex-Trafficking-and-Sex-Slavery/158150860909757?sk=wall

Shutdown chart of the day: The 17 other times America died
(Via @jay_pe)
Related: Blame Harry Reid.
Related: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 1600 Days Without a Budget
According to the US Debt Clock, we are $16,970,000,000 in debt. The US Debt Clock is an unofficial tally of our excessive spending.
The federal deficit increased by $146 billion in August, as reported by the CBO four days ago. Yet this conflicts with reports from the Treasury Department.
Yet as reported by CNSnews, "According to the Daily Treasury Statements that the Treasury publishes at 4:00 p.m. on each business day, the debt subject to the legal limit has remained at exactly $16,699,396,000,000–or about $25 million below the legal limit–every day since May 17."
This makes 118 days, with the September 12 report being the most current, that the debt has stayed at $16,699,396,000,000.
Why is this important? The current debt ceiling limit is $16,699,421,095,673.60. According to the debt clock, however, and if CBO reports for June, July, and August were added to the Treasury statements amount since May 17th, we would be way past the debt ceiling limit. In fact, August alone would have crossed the threshold. So what is our current debt?
Incidentally, the reason why Congress even has to consider the question of funding the government or shutting it down past September 30 (the last day of the fiscal year) is that there is no operating budget. The last time the Senate passed a budget was April 29, 2009. Nearly the entirety of Obama's time as President has been this way. For the Senate to abrogate its basic fiduciary responsibilities in such a major way is unconscionable.

Quality wallet
DeeH from South Texas – Verified Buyer
This is a very nice, high quality wallet. It doesn't hold quite as much as my previous wallet of the same size because of the different configuration of the pockets. But the look and feel is quite nice.

Q&A with Doc Rivers, Brad Stevens
The coaches weigh in on a variety of topics, including Rondo, tanking, more
Both are adjusting; Rivers to life in the Western Conference, while Stevens is still getting his feet wet, 30-plus games into his NBA coaching career.
Rivers is coping with the loss of his star point guard Chris Paul for a month or so while Stevens simply is coping with losing -- something of which he experienced very little of during his six-year stint as the head coach at Butler University.
In an insightful Q&A session with both coaches, I discussed a variety of topics leading up to their meeting at the Staples Center.
Q: Doc, how do you view the huge disparity between the Eastern and Western Conferences right now?
Rivers: "In the West right now, every road game is a dogfight. In the long run, it'll make it all better for the playoffs. We'll have been in hard road games every night. Playoff games won't be quite as difficult, and that's the silver lining. The East is the East. One thing people forget is that key teams out there are dealing with injuries. The New York Knicks haven't had their full team all year, the same can be said about the Brooklyn Nets. The bottom of the East has struggled, and people are talking about a new playoff format. But I'm not one of those alarmists who thinks we need to change the playoff format."
Q: Brad, what about the disparity between the NBA and the college game?

I had one for a while. It was okay. Kinda space ray gun looking. Didn't like the way it came apart...until I got a Ruger 22/45. That put things into perspective. You know they sell a carbine conversion kit for it too, right? Double the fun.
Just put 100 rounds thru it. Fun little gun.
Here's mine. I love it. Put the red dot on it as it makes it easy for young'uns to shoot. Great little guns. Eats whatever I put in it. Got it a couple af years ago for $227 out the door. I think.
Only thing I don't like is the front sight. Needs a dot on it.
Here's mine with its big brother
DID SOMEBODY SAY NEOS?! I love this gun. I call mine Megatron.
Your taste buds can't repel flavor of this magnitude!
I would recommend the Browning Buckmark reliable and accurate. Bellow the one i bought.

Featured on our pages back in March 2012, rapper/producer A.CHAL's Come Back impressed readers with its mellow, refreshing vibe, prompting one reader to remark, "I wish there was more music like this." Today, the Los Angeles native returns to make that wish come true with new single On N On. Unlike his Booth debut, which was strictly instrumental, this record finds the artist showcasing his skills on the mic as well as behind the boards, lacing his own slow-burning synth arrangement with dazed snapshots from his daily grind. Guest vocalist Alex Burnett provides a plaintive, sung chorus. For On N On and many more low-key bangers, check out A.CHAL's Ballroom Riots EP when it drops next Tuesday, February 19.

The Joint Polar Satellite System is a NASA/NOAA effort. (NASA image)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's next generation of polar orbiting weather satellites appears to be on track, with the Joint Polar Satellite System's first new satellite -- JPSS-1 -- on budget and on schedule toward its 2017 launch.
According to NOAA officials, JPSS-1 just completed two key programmatic reviews at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and passed with flying colors. The reviews, known as the Program System Definition Review (SDR) and JPSS-1 Mission Preliminary Design Review (MPDR), show the program is "on track" to meet higher-level critical milestones slated for later this summer. The MDPR is itself a milestone for JPSS-1, which highlights how the satellite, ground system, launch service and operations all come together to achieve mission objectives.
"Completing these reviews demonstrates the success and progress we are making within the overall JPSS program," said Harry Cikanek, NOAA JPSS program director. "I am proud of the work our combined NOAA/NASA team has done to aggressively implement this program and deliver our products on budget and on schedule."
For several decades, the United States has operated two polar-orbiting satellites – one by NOAA and the other by the Air Force's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program – that orbit the Earth in a north-south orbit several hundred miles overhead, providing measurements like storm direction, speed and intensity, which are fed into data-driven forecast models.
Those satellites, however, are at the end of their projected lifespan, and NOAA has been criticized for delays in the JPSS program that could leave the agency without critical weather data for as long as 17 months. NOAA and NASA have sought to mitigate that risk with the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) -- a demonstration satellite converted to a polar orbiting satellite and launched in October 2011.
Technically speaking, the Suomi NPP is part of the JPSS program, but it lacks the advanced capabilities of the next-generation satellites, and is intended to simply bridge the gap between the previous generation of aging polar-orbiting satellites and JPSS-1.
The $13 billion JPSS program – which will ultimately put two more satellites up in the air with a series of high-tech instruments that will greatly improve forecasting back on Earth – has a history of delays, ballooning costs and management problems, according to the Government Accountability Office.
Yet it appears the development of at least JPSS-1 is beginning to smooth out. Next up for JPSS-1 are two more reviews over the summer that will monitor overall readiness, followed by the Critical Design Review in early 2014.
The next major review for the entire JPSS project will be in 2015.

In a rebuke to U.S. interests in the region and amid growing tensions between two nuclear powers, Pakistan is moving its forces from its border with Afghanistan—where Pakistani troops are fighting against the Taliban—and restricting soldiers from going on leave, as fears of conflict with India continue to grow.
For most of us, Benjamin Franklin's words in 1789 still apply: "Nothing is certain but death and taxes." However, millionaires, by definition, are not most of us.
The 43rd president is going home with less remorse and fewer regrets than my grandchildren express for spilling their cereal.

To understand the philosophy of government that Dick Cheney brought to Washington over the past seven years, it is most instructive to see "Frost/Nixon," with Frank Langella's remarkable reanimation of Tricky Dick for a generation that never knew him.

Iraq is not Vietnam, yet there are parallels between the two wars. The American military dominated the battlefield in both conflicts, and yet America the nation emerged the loser in each. A "decent interval" is now needed for American troops to withdraw.
Because it worked out so well the last time, the U.S. plans to arm Afghan militias in an effort to police the country. The Pentagon is presenting this plan—and the media are reporting it—as a spinoff of a successful strategy in Iraq, not a revival of the secret war that gave rise to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

The history-be-my-judge interviews that President Bush and Vice President Cheney have been giving recently help me understand their choices—but also reinforce my confident belief, and my fervent hope, that history will throw the book at them.

We fool ourselves into believing we are immune to the savagery and chaos of failed states. Take away the rigid social structure, let society continue to break down, and we become, like anyone else, brutes.
One of JFK's "best and brightest" died wondering how the Vietnam War could have gone so wrong. Now, in an important new book, we have some answers.
George W. Bush's war against terror has brought out of the darker places in America a lot of people who want to torture, or like the idea of it. We know it doesn't work, so what drives Dick Cheney and his colleague to champion such moral depravity?
According to a new report, the U.S. has accomplished little more in Iraq than restoration of the basic services destroyed by the American invasion and the looting that followed. This is after killing or wounding—how many, a half million?—Iraqi civilians in order to liberate them. No wonder the Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at George W. Bush.

It's hard to remember the time when George W. Bush winked and swaggered his way into the White House, while rival Al Gore's team fretted that the vice president didn't show enough folksy warmth or wear the right earth tones to win the day. My, how times have changed.
U.S. Army / Staff Sgt. Michael Bracken
An American living in Kandahar writes in The Washington Post that the "corrupt gunslingers" the U.S. put in charge of Afghanistan are as much to blame for the resurgence of the Taliban as anyone. "Why," after all, "would anyone defend officials who pillage them?"

Read the devastating bipartisan report from the Senate Armed Services Committee that indicts high-level Bush administration officials—including former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld—as bearing major responsibility for the torture at Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, and other detention facilities.
The British Defense Ministry has leaked news that it will begin a phased troop withdrawal from Iraq. The drawdown will bring to an end a torrid, near-six-year love affair with the U.S. that began with coordinated intelligence failures and eventually led to jointly invading a sovereign country under cover of a "war on terror."
USAF / Master Sgt. Kristen Stanley
"It is going to be more of a Wal-Mart approach than a Gucci approach." That's how a senior Defense Department official, quoted in the L.A. Times, describes perennial Defense Secretary Robert Gates' vision for Pentagon spending priorities.
Why are the allies waging war against the largest of the native ethnic groups in Afghanistan? The NATO answer is that the allies didn't set out to fight a war against the Pashtuns. It just happened that way.
While the Nobel prizes recognize lifetime achievements in medicine, chemistry, physics, literature, economics and peace, and Sweden is a paragon among progressive, social democracies, there is another side to Sweden and the Nobels that warrants a closer look.
Putting a positive spin on George W. Bush's two terms in office is no easy feat, which is why the White House has sent out a two-page memo detailing the president's numerous achievements, including his protection of "the honor and the dignity of his office," whatever that means.
As Congress and the White House lurch toward possible approval of a loan package for the crippled auto industry, we are undoubtedly in store for more union-bashing.

The multiple failures that beset the country can be laid at the feet of our elite universities. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford, along with most other elite schools, do a poor job educating students to think. They focus instead on creating hordes of competent systems managers.

While the rest of the world has been preoccupied with a financial meltdown, a handful of wars and a terrorist attack or two, Mexico has been waging war on its homegrown drug industry, and the death count is mounting. U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza announced that El Norte is sending a couple hundred million down south to aid the cause.
When the journalistic pack bites into a tasty cliché, they often refuse to let go, lazily chewing and regurgitating a phrase like "team of rivals" long after the flavor is gone.
It was a moment bound to give anyone second thoughts about Hillary Clinton's nomination as secretary of state: Rush Limbaugh called it a "brilliant stroke."
President-elect Barack Obama introduced his principal national security Cabinet selections to the world Monday and left no doubt that he intends to start his administration on a war footing. It is revealing that his choice for national security adviser is a director of Boeing, a weapons manufacturer, and Chevron, an oil giant.
What is the message of a terrorist attack that fails to deliver a message? Threats and warnings are being exchanged by India and Pakistan over the attack on Mumbai, carried out by presumed Muslim extremists. But acting to what purpose, and under whose instructions?
Terrorism (for the umpteenth time) is a tactic, not an enemy. One of the most urgent tasks for President-elect Barack Obama's "team of rivals" is coming up with a coherent intellectual framework—and a winning battle plan—for George W. Bush's globe-spanning "war on terror."

The world is far more complex than our childish vision of good and evil. We as a nation and a culture have no monopoly on virtue. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, when viewed from the receiving end, are state-sponsored acts of terrorism.

Still-President Bush has discussed his legacy with his sister Dorothy Bush Koch as part of a national oral-history project, suggesting the future should remember him for his "liberation" of 50 million people and reluctance to "sell his soul ... to accommodate the political process"—likely referring to that which is outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Judging by the proliferation of capital letters in the e-mail correspondence I receive, many seem worried that Barack Obama may not deliver the promised "change we can believe in."
In electing Barack Obama, the country traded the foreign policy of the second President Bush for the foreign policy of the first President Bush.
USAF / Airman 1st Class Jason Epley
What is George W. Bush thankful for? The Iraqi parliament voted Thursday to approve an agreement outlining the terms of U.S. military operations in the country. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki described the deal, negotiated over a year, as "an agreement for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq."

Multiple news outlets, from ABC to Fox, now confirm that Robert Gates will retain his post as secretary of defense for at least the first year of the Obama administration. The president-elect will roll out Gates and his other hawks during a national security team unveiling next week.
USAF / Staff Sgt. Samuel Rogers
Barack Obama has no choice but to accept responsibility for America's foreign policy crises. But why should he accept them on the distorted and even hysterical terms by which the Bush administration has defined world affairs since 2001?
As President-elect Barack Obama focuses on the meltdown of the U.S. economy, another fire is burning: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Time's veteran political reporter calls coverage of the 2008 election, during both the primary and general election, "the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war" because of "extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage."
If the prospect of appointing Hillary Clinton as secretary of state irritates the Obama base, what will they make of keeping the man who has executed President Bush's policies at the Pentagon?
The cynical view of national sovereignty holds that it belongs only to those who can defend it. This was said recently at the Pentagon concerning American manned and unmanned attacks inside Pakistan.
DoD / Tech. Sgt. Jerry Morrison, USAF
The Financial Times is reporting that Barack Obama is keen to have Robert Gates stay on as defense secretary. The paper says the two are currently negotiating their differences, but then that's the whole point: Obama wants people who disagree with him in his Cabinet.
The Americans who voted for Barack Obama as president were promised change they could count on, but it rather looks as if they may actually be asked to make do with a mildly refurbished Clinton administration, with many of the same officials and nearly all of the same policies.

Neuroscience and Data Sharing Symposium Report Published
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies has published the "Neuroscience and Data Sharing Symposium Report," the proceedings of a seminar held in conjunction with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Policy Fellowships NeuroPolicy Affinity Group on March 21, 2014. This day long symposium provided a forum for the neuroscience community to discuss data sharing, including the obstacles facing the community as well as how cultural changes can lead to improvements in data sharing.
Neuroscience is a rapidly-advancing, interdisciplinary field which has seen growth in both research and public interest since the announcement of the BRAIN Initiative. With this growth comes an increased opportunity for collaboration and sharing of data. Technological advances make sharing data easier and less expensive than ever before. Despite the many advantages to data sharing, there remain many hurdles to overcome. These include insufficient resources, non-standardized data and procedures, and a lack of incentives to share data. In order to create a culture of data sharing, these and other concerns need to be addressed.
"Neurotechnology: Enhancing the Human Brain and Reshaping Society"
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies held a seminar on "Neurotechnology: Enhancing the Human Brain and Reshaping Society" on June 30th, 2014. Neuro-enhancements can maximize our physical, cognitive, innovative, and technological potential as a society. The panelists in attendance included Dr. Amy Kruse (Vice President, Intific), Dr. Jonathan D. Moreno (Professor, University of Pennsylvania), Dr. Gerry Yonas (Mind Research Network, University of New Mexico), and Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA). The panelists drew from their experience in industry, government, and academia to discuss current neuro-enhancements, the future of the field, and policy solutions. The speakers emphasized the further enhancement and development of neurotechnology with the support from both the private and public sector.
In his opening remarks, Mike Swetnam called for greater investment in neurotechnology, an endeavor that should match our past investments in nanotechnology and information technology.

The alarming upsurge of current regional and global threats to peace are triggered by expanding ideological and national extremism as well as ethnic, racial, religious, and tribal animosities. The latest escalation of violence from Nigeria to Syria, to the Ukraine and elsewhere dramatically underscore the grave strategic challenges facing the international community.
Are the traditional tools of diplomacy and force sufficient to save mankind from the scourge of lingering and new conflicts and to prevent future terrorism, insurgencies, and wars? These and related concerns will be discussed by experts with wide governmental and academic experience in conflict-resolution cases throughout the world.

Doctor Richard Ballard had previous DUI before allegedly striking man
More from News
- Mother: Remains found in Floyd County belong to missing daughter Ashley Jones
- GBI: Euharlee police chief Terry Harget, assistant chief Richard Smith arrested
- Special ed teacher Kayla Zittrouer, 22, 'sent lewd pictures to and sexually assaulted her 14-year-old student' after just two months in the job
- Police shoot, kill man in Maserati family IDs as 24-year-old Nicholas Thomas
- Atlanta man Torrance Hambrick given life sentence in Atlanta rape, carjacking
Police have added more charges against a Northside Hospital doctor accused of driving drunk and hitting a pedestrian.
Because of GA Daily News' story, the Fulton County district attorney found out the incident was the doctor's second DUI in six weeks.
Channel 2's Dave Huddleston found out Dr. Richard Ballard's Sept. 28 Atlanta drunk
-driving charge isn't his first offense.
Huddleston obtained a copy of Ballard's mug shot from six weeks earlier, when he was arrested for DUI in Roswell.
That was shocking to Alex Arca, the man police say Ballard hit in September.
"This is something that didn't have to happen," Arca said. "I just hope he gets help. It's a sad situation."
Arca is a reserve Army captain who did three tours in the Middle East. He told Huddleston he's supposed to be on weekend duty with his unit, but can't with his injured foot.
"Every month we have drill and we do P.T. I can't train with my guys. So, missing out on a lot of things," Arca said.
One week ago, Ballard and his prominent defense attorney, Steve Weiner, were in municipal court trying to get his September DUI charge reduced to reckless driving, a misdemeanor.
But with information on the
August DUI, Arca's attorney, Bryan Howard, said Ballard not only faces new charges , but could possibly spend more than a decade behind bars.
"Now he could face up to 15 years in prison under a serious injury by vehicle," Howard said. "The scary thing is he obviously has a problem and he need so some help to take care of this problem."
Meantime, Arca has learned he will need surgery on his foot.
"After that, I've got about another three to six months of rehabilitation, so you're looking at about a whole year of wearing this thing and trying to get back to being better," Arca said, showing Huddleston his cast.
Ballard's next court date is scheduled for Nov. 28.

Foreign domestic workers make up around 3 per cent of the Hong Kong population. In 2013, there were some 320,000 foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, of which 50 per cent were from the Philippines, 47 per cent from Indonesia, and the rest from Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Hong Kong law states that such workers must reside with their employers. Their wages are subject to a statutory minimum of HK$4,010 per month from September 30 last year. There have been several high-profile court cases in which domestic workers have alleged torture and abuse at the hands of their employers. According to a 2013 report by Amnesty International, Indonesian migrant domestic workers are at risk of serious human and labour rights violations in Hong Kong.
The letter by Secretary for Labour and Welfare Matthew Cheung Kin-chung ('Levy plays key role in retraining', July 30) was unconvincing.Saturday, 2 August, 2008, 12:00am
Exco suspends helper fee, lets you gain twice
Employers of foreign domestic helpers can avoid paying the levy on their contracts for up to 47 months by renewing them early, the government acknowledged yesterday.31 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
Groups representing domestic workers have expressed concern about the possibility of a massive layoff near the end of the two-year suspension of the employers' levy, as the Executive Council was poised to discuss the proposed relief measure today.30 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
The controversy surrounding the suspension of the maids' levy for two years has not only exposed the ugly face of many employers of foreign domestic helpers, but also the worst side of our government bureaucracy. The proposal, and the whole inflation relief package, was made with the best intentions. As inflation soars, pressure is piling up on both low-income groups and the middle class.26 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
Clearly, it was not intended this way, but the plan for a two-year suspension of the levy on overseas domestic helpers' employment provides an almost perfect example of government dysfunction and arrogance.25 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
The two-year suspension of the levy on foreign maids will start next month, a month earlier than planned, after the government heeded calls from employers' and workers' groups who said an earlier date was necessary to avoid confusion.22 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
Employers wait for freezing of payment
At least seven foreign domestic helpers have been sacked since the government decided last week to suspend the maids' levy from September, a migrant workers' centre said.
Sari Canete, a project organiser at the Asian Migrant Worker Centre, said those workers had been fired as a result of the levy suspension.21 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
No fee collected by the government is popular. But few have been as controversial as the HK$400-a-month levy imposed nearly five years ago on employers of foreign domestic helpers, which came along with an equivalent cut in maids' minimum pay.19 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
Dismissing helpers too costly, says official
The Immigration Department yesterday dismissed fears that the timing of a two-year suspension of the levy on foreign maids could lead to widespread sacking of helpers.18 Jul 2008 - 12:00am
Maids know their duties and pay before they come to HK
I refer to the letter from Jemma Watkins ('Domestic helpers raise our standard of living', June 8).15 Jun 2008 - 12:00am
With inflation at 5.4 per cent, the highest level in a decade, workers naturally expect their pay to also rise to cover increasing costs. The economy is faring well and companies are generally profiting, so employees feel entitled to a slice of the good times. Civil servants have just been given increases and so, too, should other wage-earners.4 Jun 2008 - 12:00am
Will the authorities ban Mia Farrow?
Let us tell you about Yusuf Islam. Before he became a Muslim he was known as Cat Stevens, the British pop star. His Muslim name got him in trouble in September 2004 when he was denied entry to the US on national security grounds. American officials made it clear they had no obligation to detail their reasons for banning him.30 Apr 2008 - 12:00am
More than half of Hongkongers want the government to scrap the levy on employers of foreign domestic helpers, a survey has found.
Since October 2003, bosses have had to pay a monthly HK$400 levy, the aim being to fund vocational training and retraining for local workers. The initiative has raised HK$4.19 billion so far.25 Apr 2008 - 12:00am
Anyone who enjoys a good glass of wine - and I include myself in that number - could be accused of bias in favour of a financial secretary who abolishes duty on alcohol sales. Critics might even say we are looking at John Tsang Chun-wah's maiden budget through rose-tinted spectacles.15 Mar 2008 - 12:00am
Nothing wrong with little delay in elections
We have been promised a fully elected chief executive in 2017, and an elected legislature in 2020.
It was to be expected that the generation of those who suddenly claimed to be democrats when they learned that Hong Kong was to be handed back to China in 1997, would be negative about all proposals coming from Beijing.14 Jan 2008 - 12:00am

Quick question about 2 year old kerdi tub with mold
I have a quick question regarding a kerdi tub surround I did 2 years back.
The only thing I didn't do myself in the bathroom was set the tub and the darn plumber refused to set the tub in foam or cement as per the instructions (Kohler Devonshire alcove tub). So the tub has settled and the sanded caulk along the bottom where the tub meets tile is cracked and moldy from water getting in the cracks for about a year (And I caulked the tub while it was full too). I bleach it about once a month and it clears up and returns again.
I am just getting around to fixing it as my baby is about two (completed two bathrooms by myself during my final trimester!) and wanted to know how to go about really cleaning this area up.
Once I get the sanded caulk off (TEC), should I bleach the area and let dry? For how long?
Should I attempt to get some foam or cement in there under the tub so the tub has less room to settle? I can reach the one whole side of the tub from my daughter's room so no biggie there-just drywall repair.
I bought the siliconized TEC non sanded caulk. WIll this have more give with tub movement?
I used all proper procedure and products as per mongoct and bills advice regarding the kerdi install. I was super careful with seams, overlaps and used kerdifix between the tub tile flange and kerdi.
Thanks in advance for help.
It sounds like a simple tub and caulk problem, not really an issue with the Kerdi.
Do you recall if the tub's flange was fastened to the wall studs? Normally a nail goes through the flange into each wall stud. That'll prevent some vertical movement/deflection at the flange.
I can't say if adding under-support will help at this time. If you hear squeaking and creaking when you're in the tub, that could be a sign of movement.
Do you see any movement at the flange when the tub is loaded and unloaded (water, bathers, etc)? Or do you think that the original caulk failed simply due to a one-time "after installation shift" and that the tub is now settled in place?
I'd pull the existing caulk. Clean, let dry. Load the tub. Then install silicon.
As far as the mold returning, realize that bleach will only kill the surface mold, but not the mold's "roots", so the mold can grow back since it was never killed in the first place.
Household bleach is about 6% "bleach" and 94% water. When put on grout or wood, due to its polarity the bleach stays on the surface of the material. It doesn't penetrate into the material. Only the water penetrates. So when you bleach a porous material, you are indeed killing the surface mold, but the water is feeding the mold's roots. Not a truly technical description of what happens. But that's why bleach itself isn't an approved "mold killer".
Hi Mongo.
Thank you for answering. Yes, I agree, this isn't a Kerdi problem at all. I just added that in so that it was obvious it was a caulk problem.
I added extra screws along the flange since the guy only screwed each corner (if I hadn't been so pregnant, I would have set the tub too but couldn't fit well).
So rip out the caulk and clean it out. Can do. Is there a better milder cleaner than bleach? It's pretty much the only reason I buy it.
