Remember months back, Microsoft was planning to launch a book like tablet- 'Microsoft Courier?' The Courier was supposed to have two 7-inch touchscreens connected by a hinge, as the rumours then said. But now, Microsoft has reportedly cancelled plans for its Courier tablet. Now Microsoft claims the project to be dead and add that the project was never officially announced, Gizmodo reports. However their press unit gives no reason for the cancellation.
According to Gizmodo, Microsoft executives informed the internal team that had been working on the tablet device that the project would no longer be supported. But now the question is that if launched, such a creation would have changed the way students read and write and would have been a success. Even it appeared from the leaked information last year that a Courier prototype was probably near to completion. The combination of both touch- and pen-based computing was convincing. So then what made Microsoft withdraw the project?
Some think that Microsoft has been scared by the competition Apple's iPad is giving, being the only mobile tablet now. And even the potential for once-strong Palm to fiercely ride into the sunset of popular sales again, could be another reason.
Frank Shaw, Microsoft Corporate VP of Communications said, "At any given time, we're looking at new ideas, investigating, testing, and incubating them. It's in our DNA to develop new form factors and natural user interfaces to foster productivity and creativity. The Courier project is an example of this type of effort. It will be evaluated for use in future offerings, but we have no plans to build such a device at this time."
But its pity sad for the entire tech crazy people who were really looking forward to it. Definitely it seemed a genuinely inventive and exciting product which could have revolutionised mobile computing and user interfaces in general.
Atleast Microsoft should continue to trim away fragment versions of its core operating systems and focus on Windows 7 (may have the benefit of touch-users) and Windows Phone 7 unity across all its devices. They should also use some of the smart thinking we have seen in Courier which may find its way into Microsoft's tablets, whether they're powered by Windows 7 or Windows Phone 7. As only Windows really has the potential to compete in the touch market against the likes of iPad users. Even then, there's no real word of dedicated Windows 7 plus touch devices to come. As of now, lets hope for the best.

When asked, "What strategies do you use to motivate students to complete the program?"
Staff Quotes:
"At D-PASS, students review their high school grades and attendance daily online to ensure credit is not being lost. Our students also set goals when beginning the program to help focus their energy and time spent at our campus. Daily one-to-one discussions also occur between students, students and staff, and students and administrator, which stress life after D-PASS and graduation. Another way to motivate students is through our Wall of Course Completion, or Wall of Fame. As each student finishes a course, she or he creates a decorated sign for our classroom walls. Students still working on a course can see these signs and are even more inspired to finish when they see the finisher leave our campus for the last time." (2007-08
Douglas Unified District D-Pass: Drop-Out Prevention, AIMS & School Success)
"High Interest geared at each student personally. Mastery Level Learning which allows mistakes and builds on them. Self paced learning which allows students to gain confidence in their own abilities. Constant communication with the students concerning their goals and follow up with parents." (2007-08
Glendale Union High School District: Career Exploration)
"NAA uses a positive behavioral support system, which includes explicit instruction and Panther Pride awards for students who demonstrate the school values of Respect, Accountability, Understanding, Optimism, and Hard Work. These awards are worth $.50 credit at the snack bar, and when a student earns 25 awards, s/he also receives a $25 gift card. Teachers are also responsible for sending Panther Pride postcards to parents to communicate about student successes in the classroom, increase parental support for participation in the program, and increase a student's sense of self-efficacy. The staff meeting is also an opportunity to communicate student successes or struggles, so that each staff member can praise or support students as needed. NAA also identifies a student of the week, based upon attendance, improvement, and focus on goals. This student receives a $10 gift card for lunch out, a 5-point certificate to add 5-point to the test or assignment of his/her choosing, a certificate, and a press release." (2007-08
Northern Arizona Academy for Career Development, Inc.)
"Early relationship building a huge part of our motivation process. My students meet with me as early as 7th grade and we begin to discuss their goals and plans. I follow up with them regularly. The relationship is a powerful tool in their staying motivated. I also think it is important for students to believe they can have a better life. Reminding them of that goal and relating their education to that life is another strong motivational tool." (2006-07
NAU GEAR UP Program)
"Any student who successfully passes high school classes is given the opportunity to enroll in college classes at South Mountain Community College which are paid for by AAEC." (2006-07
Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center)
"For the MPS PAY program students receive monetary compensation as they would regular employment, plus monetary bonuses for exemplary performance in the program. In addition, students receive elective credit toward high school graduation for participation in the program. For those students who excel, they are offered participation as a mentor for the following year of the program." (2006-07
Mesa Unified School District, PAY Program)
"We offer gift certificates for each week of perfect attendance; certificates of achievement; incentives for meeting personal goals; year-end celebration trip to California. We also photograph each student in a cap and gown, frame the photo along with the year they will graduate and give it to them to remind them of what they are working to attain." (2006-07
Arizona Call-A-Teen, Youth Excel Program)
"Incentive program for good attendance, good grades. Students are rewarded with movie passes, gift certificates, pizza parties and certificates. Students can be given high school credit for the program. Credit can be awarded for study skills, AIMS math standards or reading techniques." (2006-07
Tempe Union High School District, Compadre Satellite Alternative School)
"We ask mentors and tutors to set goals with the students that are realistic and reachable. The coordinator contacts students on a regular basis to encourage them to participate in their classes and activities. Students who have consistently met with their mentors and tutors are given gift certificates to area stores, especially if they have shown improvement in their grades." (2006-07
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Flagstaff, AIM HIGH Program)
"We offer options and flexibility: schedule changes, Alt Ed placement, opportunities to catch-up, counseling for grad completion, future options, possible change of schools (to a county Alternative School), support groups for pregnant and parenting students, substance abuse counseling. Many students are motivated by concern, consistency and tenacity on the part of the staff. Once they start feeling like they are digging themselves out of a hole and/or begin to trust those who are supporting them, they create their own drive and then they're off and running." (2006-07
Page Unified School District, Page High School Dropout Prevention Program)
"Having them look at the big picture. What do they want to accomplish in their life?" (2006-07
MIMR Program/ Sp. Education-Agua Fria High School)
"Reinforcing curriculum by having speakers come to class to validate that having goals, a career plan and projected vision is what it needs to be successful. Creating a class environment that allows students to be held accountable for their actions and also allowing students to be key players in developing what their program will look like from start to finish. This type of program allows students to buy into what is being taught and have some control on their desired expectations." (2006-07
Jobs for Arizona's Graduates)
"I believe some students need our presence all four years of High School. Some students need that sheltered safe zone they can participate in to help divert them from troubled home life or a myriad of difficulties internal as well as external. When a program offers structure, shelter, safety, and social interaction in a supervised manner many students begin to open up and discuss their difficulties. At that juncture, communication is enhanced and trust begins. Students are sensitive to peer opinion and truly want to succeed. Some have been bounced around the system and home so often they are discouraged. Self esteem revival and productivity are crucial in increasing motivation. Consistency is a motivator in regular attendance. A stable program must be there every day for that student. Providing nutrition, social interaction, academics, and tutoring across the board is a motive for repetitive attendance." (2006-07
Pinon Unified School District)
"I encourage them every day to succeed. I push them beyond their limitations and I challenge them to produce quality work. I assist them whenever they need help and I make sure that they are always aware that they are doing well. I reward students when they complete classes and have strong attendance by taking them on various field trips (i.e. Phoenix zoo, science center, camp, and ballets) and having guest speakers." (2006-07
YMCA, I-Learn Program)
Director Quotes:
"Motivation has been a challenging aspect of the program initially, but as students are beginning to experience success, they are finding more motivation within themselves, even to the point of asking their friends to come to the program, too. Program and school staff offer a lot of encouragement and monitoring, and when possible, parents help to motivate students to participate as well." (2007-08
Amphitheater Unified District: Project ETC (Empowering, Teaching and Connecting)
"The most successful strategy has been when a student actually begins to experience a degree of success with competent completion of his/her daily lessons and the eventual completion of credit for a course. We grant credit for a completed course as soon as all requirements are completed, not at defined semesters. Once a student is able to complete a course in a timely manner, s/he is encouraged to do more and more." (2007-08
Gila County Regional School District)
"Make school more relevant and engaging through interesting and dynamic curriculum, enhance the connection between school and work, create a climate that fosters academics, ensure that students have at least one strong relationship with an adult at the school and improve communication between parents and schools." (2007-08
Yavapai County High School JAG "Hang In There" Program)
"We use a lot of personalized support through the personal learning plan, the support group established for the student and through the weekly advisory meetings. We also have career days where local businesses and governmental agencies come and speak to the students one on one about the educational requirements needed if they are interested in obtaining a job in that particular field. If a student in the program is participating in CTE classes, they receive additional counseling from their teachers on the importance of their education, study skills and participation in the program interventions." (2006-07
Agua Fria Union High School District)
"Due to the fact that the Independent Learning Center is a very individualized program, students are always working on different courses and different numbers of credits. To motivate them all, the Teacher provides the students with detailed Progress Reports every 6 weeks, outlining the courses they are taking, the credits they have completed, the credits they need to complete, their current GPA, and any additional comments she feels are necessary. Many of the students bring these Progress Reports to class so that they are able to reference them when they have a question on how far they have to go to finish the program. When a student finishes a credit, the Teacher fills in one of his/her blank stars with a sticker. The students like to use this visual representation to track their progress in the ILC." (2006-07
Coconino Career Center, Independent Learning Center)
"Donation of computers, printers and other such items are given out to students who have achieved in areas of attendance, grades, community helping." (2006-07
Sierra Vista Unified School District)
"The availability of a caring competent adult to work with on solving any issue is the primary motivator of YEP. We also give out $5.00 gift certificates each week for those who have perfect attendance. At the end of each school year, those who have done what they committed to do, may go on a celebratory trip to the beach in California and then to Magic Mountain." (2006-07
Arizona Call-A-Teen, Youth Excel Project)
"Students in high school who complete their coursework, document service learning hours, and visit the Career Center and attend Arizona Workplace Skills workshops may receive a scholarship worth $150.00 for a summer school course or credit towards a community college course. Students who do not have regular attendance are contacted by the OnTrack coordinator and counselors to encourage them complete their work. Junior high students who show progress on their work receive an incentive. i.e. movie pass." (2006-07
Mesa Unified School District, OnTrack Program)
"Our fundamental premise is that children will live up to, or down to, the expectations that are held for them by others. As a result, KHS AIMS IDP students regularly and consistently hear that they will graduate from high school, that they are capable of succeeding in any endeavor they choose and they have AIMS IDP staff support to do so." (2006-07

Peter T. Sipos "Peter T. Sipos" (Papa, Hungary) - See all my reviews
You know, I have to agree with Mr. Erdelac - the movie is progressive for its time. For those of you who judge a movie by the degree to which it beats a political or social drum, there is much here to admire.
But there is more. There is something artistic. There is an odd balance between melodrama and something really substantial, something actually edifying to the viewer. I think a large part of why this movie doesn't descend into the sludge of cinematic slop is because the characters are all flawed, and in those flaws the viewer cannot help but recognize a touch of human frailty. Every individual in this movie is at times ridiculous and at other times supremely dignified. This, I believe, gives it a certain depth.
The characters in any great movie MUST be larger than life if the piece is to avoid being either a documentary or a soap opera. But here the larger than life characters seem firmly rooted in the earth, which brings them closer to us. I like that.
Overall, I think the sensitive viewer will find in this movie much that is both emotionally and philosophically stimulating, if he/she is willing to look past the inevitable veneer of 74 years. I personally consider it a particularly moving and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
4.0 out of 5 stars epic 1930 Western (3.5/5),
falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cimarron (Special Edition) (DVD)
Cimarron traces the early history of Oklahoma,starting with the land
rush in 1899.from there it spans forty years in the development of that
land into an eventual American state and the advances of technology
that came with it.the story itself is an epic tale,so its focus is
pretty broad.this sort of makes it a bit impersonal at times.it starts
off slow,but somewhere along the lines it picks up and becomes somewhat
compelling.i also found it interesting how people behaved back in that
time,at least according to the movie.it does feel a bit like a silent
movie at times.some of the acting feels over exaggerated.that sort of
makes sense,since talking pictures had just recently replaced silent
films as the movie medium.so,many of the actors would have been used to
acing in silent pictures.nevertheless,i still enjoyed it,for the most
part.for me,Cimarron is a 3.5/5
4.0 out of 5 stars classic,
Stephen D. Stone "movie fan" (Dartmouth, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cimarron (Special Edition) (DVD)
Cimmarron, academy award winner for best picture. It is best viewed with the mindset of early talkies. The characters and acting are stilted and plastic. The movie is a lot of fun, but, with today's jaded audience, may be seen as corny. I enjoyed it in its historical aspect and as an example of early epic cinema

3.0 out of 5 stars Years Ahead Of Its Time,
Edward M. Erdelac (Valley Village, CA) - See all my reviews
What are some of these reviewers thinking? I just watched this movie for the first time, and considering the period, this has got to be one of the most progressive films ever to come out of the 1930's. Yes, like most, I inwardly cringed at the sight of `Isaiah' whistling and shining shoes during the opening credits, but I really felt that the character wound up being much more than a stereotypical clown (this is NOT Gone With The Wind). Consider the societal constraints under which the creators of this film worked, and I should think its obvious that they did what they could, perhaps subversively. Back then they just couldn't have a black character or a full blooded Indian character who spoke for and defended himself, but they could find a way to espouse more liberal views through the character of Cravat. In the end, by way of his actions, Isaiah certainly becomes a more heroic character than Mammy or Uncle Remus. Likewise, the treatment of womens' roles and Indian rights are amazingly far ahead of their time -even going so far as to touch on interracial marriage and the potential of women to be stronger and even more efficient than men -which at a time when the suffragists were still alive, has got to be commended. And don't forget that Dix's character is part Indian. How many films prior to `Broken Arrow' portrayed Indians in a positive light, let alone made them the hero?
There is a lot of talk of Dix's overracting and praise for Dunne. I thought Dix captured the blustery over the top persona of Yancey Cravat (who was based on a real-life gunslinging attorney who was a son of Sam Houston -the courtroom soliloquy to save the prostitute is culled directly from historic record) perfectly. I particularly liked the scene where he `crows' at the bad guy in challenge. Yes, Dunne did a fine job as well portraying a character who represents all the economic and social intolerance of the period. Moreso because with the help of her firebrand husband she manages to evolve and change (and even become a Congresswoman!) beyond these small views. But I don't think Dix deserves all the criticism, nor Dunne all the credit. Yancy Cravat doesn't seem true to life because he is BIGGER than life. Nobody complains about George C. Scott's rendering of Patton, because we know Patton really was that way. Is it incomprehensible to think that such giant characters, dandily dressed and sporting pistols and purple words ever walked the land before 1930? All this talk of dating (at the risk of sounding dated) is a lot of hooey. When you watch a movie like this you've got to put yourself in the mindset of the audience of the period, or of course you're always going to think its `aged badly.'
The film is shot well. The Land Rush is great, as is that scene where Dunne runs through the spattered men of the oil field at the end (it reminded me of Claudia Cardinale walking through the slew of rail workers at the end of Once Upon A Time In The West). There are shots during the emigration of the Cravats from Kansaas which also stay in the mind. The lantern hanging from the rear axle of the wagon, only illuminating the turning wheels on either side, while Cravat lowly sings his signature tune was a stroke of genius, and the Kid and his gang riding out of the dark and empty land into their campsite is well done. The sound on the VHS is a little bad, with a lot of background hiss occassionally overwhelming the dialogue. I hope if this ever gets to DVD they can fix this.
I think this is an important film that has been sorely overlooked because of the decline of the western in popular culture and the finger pointing of the PC crowd. You've got to look deeper than the veneer, but I really believe this to be an astounding achievement historically, cinematically, and in the portrayal and ultimate breaking of racial stereotypes. Best Picture of 1930. I would've given it four stars, but the VHS copy isn't great. O mighty masters of DVD transfer, except Cimarron into thy trust! Amen!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cimarron,
By A Customer
You have to judge pictures like Cimarron not by today's standards but by the state of the art when it was made. From that perspective, Cimarron fares better. Every movie I've seen that was made in the twenties and thirties is more or less "dated". But this movie featured Irene Dunne on her way up and Richard Dix on his way down. It isn't politically correct. It isn't well paced. And it isn't the best movie to come out of the early thirties; but I know some people who consider it one of the best "cowboy" movies ever made. That's a stretch I think, but it was an interesting movie from an historical point of view. And as one viewer already pointed out, Irene Dunne's role and performance of it was very good for the time. Based on that, I'll give it three stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Dated, Only Historically Valuable!,
Bertin Ramirez "justareviewer" (San Ysidro, California United States) - See all my reviews
One of the most dated of all the early 'talkies'. While it is big in scope, hammy acting, bad editing and bad writing are impossible not to notice. One of the film's major flaw is Richard Dix's performance, overly pompous and campy, if you look at it in another way, it's amusing in a campy way, but that certainly wasn't his intention, and that's what's funny. Irene Dunne gives a tolerable performance, but not even that can make the film interesting. Overlong and sometimes challenging to sit through, also some racial aspects might offend some. Only historically valuable. Extras: this was the first western to win 'Best Picture' Oscar, the next one would be 'Dances With Wolves' in 1990. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 4!

3.0 out of 5 stars Expansive, But Very Dated,
Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This film is very dated and does not hold up well when measured by today's standards. Therefore, it may be hard to believe that not only was it the fourth film to win the best picture Academy Award, but that it also won the awards for screenplay adaptation and art direction.
Its principal value at this point would appear to be in an historical sense, for it depicts events, such as the Oklahoma land rush and the old west generally, that were not that far removed in time when this film was made. There were people living at the time of the filming, who had personal recollection of the events depicted. So don't dismiss the film out of hand, but, rather, view it in the context of its time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch the remake instead,
By A Customer
This movie was so boring and poorly paced, extremely dated and static. If it had come out any later than it did, then it probably would not have been an oscar winner. If you want to see a great western try The Searchers, Red River, or Once Upon a Time in the West. The remake of Cimarron (in cinemascope) from the 60's is much, much better. It moves along at a better pace and has a more admirable Cravat in Glenn Ford, great actresses, more effective storyline, along with a truly spectacular wagon race to claim land that totally leaves the first version in the dust. Indeed, the remake of Cimarron was one of the best westerns I have ever seen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Audio!,
Elie Mamieh (BAYSIDE, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I could not really enjoy the film. I purchased it recently on VHS and the audio quality was horrendous. I don't think anything was ever done to remaster the audio, and it is very annoying to follow. Don't waste $19.95 on it. Watch it on TCM; even there the audio is distorted. I only got it because it is a very early Irene Dunne movie, and I was curious to watch it.

I am still astonished that I have written a novel — I never intended to. My youngest was 10 at the time and had developed a fascination with science; it mirrored my interest in the subject, which developed out of speaking to lots of scientists on the afternoon show on BBC Radio 5 live. So I thought I'd write my son a short story. That's where the idea came from.
I remember looking for information and ideas, and I came across a guy called David Hahn, this American kid in the Nineties who was referred to as the radioactive Boy Scout — they say that he was a nanosecond away from developing a working nuclear reactor in his parents' shed. He called himself "an element hunter".
When I saw that phrase, I thought: "That's a fantastic label to put on a kind of dull obsession. Kids love collecting things: why not the periodic table?" Obviously, some of the periodic table is straightforward, such as titanium, iron and silver, but some of it is very dangerous, such as plutonium, chlorine and so on.
So my character could get into all kinds of scrapes, but it could all be based around the periodic table and the "magic" in the book would be the science. If you're an element hunter, obviously the greatest thing in the world would be to discover a new element, so I developed this theory of how he might have found a new, reactive and very dangerous element, number 126. (The real periodic table goes up to 118.) This new rock is discovered after an earthquake in Cornwall. It turns out to be one of the most valuable rocks ever because, on one hand, it can be used for safe nuclear fuel, so governments and decent people want it, and him . . . but so do terrorists and criminals.
The thing about my hero is that he's an ordinary boy with no superpowers; he has nothing on his side apart from his hobby, his cousin and his sister, who set off on this adventure with him. That was the whole point. If this book ever goes anywhere, it will be precisely because the magic is the science and it's set in the scientific world that actually does exist.
When writing your first story you never know what will be useful. I needed a name for this boy. Many years ago I'd been looking around a beautiful church in Blythburgh, Suffolk — it's known as the Cathedral of the Marshes. On the wall there was a plaque of everyone who had ever been a curate at this church, and in the 17th century there was a curate called Itchingham Lofte, and he was followed by Nathaniel Flowerdew. I took a photograph of the plaque and stored it away. Five years later, when I had the idea for the element hunter, I looked back at the photo of the plaque and there they were.
"Itch" is a great nickname for a kid, and Nathaniel Flowerdew is the science teacher who later becomes his nemesis. So it's all about input and output — reading lots, making notes of things, photographing things, listening to snippets of conversation overheard on the bus. And I suppose if I hadn't spent eight years talking to scientists, I wouldn't have been interested in science in the first place.
The first couple of chapters I wrote with my son, Joe, in mind, but I then became possessed by the idea of the book and the characters. I became demented, I'd just disappear and write.
But when I had about 20,000 words, I realised that I wasn't sure what I was doing. So I spoke to a writer I'd worked with on Radio 5 live, Charlie Fletcher. He had written a kids' book called Stoneheart. We met up and I said: "I'm new to this, so what would you advise?" He asked me whether I knew how the book was going to finish. I said I did, roughly, and he told me to narrow it down, precisely.
And then he told me to read Stephen King's book On Writing, which was brilliant. I followed King's instructions to the letter — things like writing 1,000 words a day, six days a week. I followed his advice really religiously but everyone will have their own thing.
Over the past 15 years I've read pretty much everything aloud to my kids, whether that be J. K. Rowling or Philip Pullman, but out of them all, the Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials stands out as the best. It's astonishing, though of course it's not really a children's book. As soon as you get to the first page, I think, it mentions Pope John Calvin; that was interesting to try to explain to an eight-year-old. But I guess I took away from that the thought that a kid's book could be about something, and I tried to put into my book an overarching idea about energy conservation and nuclear power that a grown-up reader would pick up on.
I'd feel like a fraud offering aspiring authors words of advice; I have to say I've only just started out myself. I mean, I've had a book published and I'm working on a second, but that's a pretty slim CV. I can only say what worked for me, which was to read all the time, be focused, to work out exactly how you're going to finish, be disciplined, be driven, be obsessed ... and be different.

THE INFLUENCE GAME: Lobbyists work stimulus to end
WASHINGTON Whether protecting school aid or seeking tax breaks for imported shoes, lobbyists are amping up their efforts to shape Congress' giant stimulus bill when it counts: as the measure nears its endgame.
President Barack Obama and Democratic Senate leaders were under pressure Friday to trim the final bill's size, leaving interest groups and companies scrambling to defend turf they had claimed earlier. Lawmakers hope to forge a compromise next week between the House's $819 billion package and the even larger version the Senate was struggling to complete.
Amid talk that tens of billions in state and local school aid might be cut to secure needed Senate votes, lobbyists from the education world and public employee unions were seeking late audiences with lawmakers and their aides and telephoning Senate offices, continuing an effort they started last week when they heard the money might be on the chopping block.
"Our issue is simply to protect what has been proposed" in the bill, said Deborah Rigsby, president of the Committee for Education Funding, a coalition of groups representing everybody from school district officials to textbook publishers. The Senate bill – similar to the House's – has $79 billion in state education aid, plus tens of billions more for school construction, student loans and other initiatives.
The eleventh-hour drive illustrated how time never runs out on lobbying until the president signs a measure into law. Though the circle of people making final decisions on the compromise bill will be small, others will seek last-minute changes until the very end.
"It's far more probable to be reshaped" in final negotiations, said R. Bruce Josten, chief lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which would like to see more business tax cuts added to the legislation. "Yes, we'll make every effort to influence this package."
The emergency bill, aimed at steadying the wobbly economy, is laden with spending for public works construction, schools, health care, aid to state and local governments and benefits for the poor, as well as tax cuts for workers, home buyers and businesses. Lobbyists for virtually every conceivable interest have tried shaping the measure, lured by its enormous size and scope, its must-pass status and a sense that budget pressures will make federal dollars scarcer in legislation later this year.
"This is a bill that's got just about as much room as you need," said Steve Verdier, top lobbyist for the Independent Community Bankers of America, which successfully supported expanded tax credits for home buyers and other provisions it said would help create jobs. "So if you've got some ideas you've been trying to push for a number of years, this is certainly the vehicle you want to use."
As a result, congressional office buildings have been teeming with lobbyists in recent days. Even governors have come: Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour visited his state's senior senator, Republican Thad Cochran, to press for infrastructure funds.
"It felt like rush hour the last three weeks. The halls are packed," said Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association, which wants lawmakers to convert an existing tax credit for solar energy equipment into federal grants to companies in hopes of spurring sales.

Created: 08/21/2014 11:48 AM KSTP.com
A Feb. 9 trial date has been set for a constitutional challenge to Minnesota's sex offenders treatment program.
U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank set the date Thursday during a hearing in St. Paul on the case.
Some 700 people are indefinitely committed to the program. Almost no one has gotten out of the program since it was launched, and patients have argued that makes it unconstitutional.
Frank had hoped to bring the lawsuit to trial before the end of the year, but experts evaluating the patients said they couldn't finish their work that quickly. Frank has asked those experts to make their report by mid-November.
The exact scope of the trial has yet to be determined.

I have taken my major as computer science and Engineering and I am really confused at this moment. My first course was about learning C and C++ and I learned the basics of those. Now I am really confused what to do next.
Some says I should practice algorithms and do contests in ACM-ICPC for now. Others tell me to start software development. But As I started digging its really a vast topic and there are many aspects of these, like web design, web-development, iOS-development, android... etc many things. And I am really confused about what should I do just now.
Any advice for me to start with?

I can read specs all day, but until you put them side by side and see the brighter/crisper/flicker free picture on the passive set you won't understand.
If you want to talk about an interlaced picture or really go retro and see a flicka show, then I'd have to say that active shutter glasses are closer to that. I have loved using active shutter glasses, and watching each generation getting better and better with less noticeable flicker. There is a lot of variation between different active shutter setups and some overcome the dimness better than others. I can tune it out, I can even forget about it, but I'm one of those cursed people who -always- see flicker at 60Hz. That is just not enough per eye. It's tons better than it used to be at 60Hz/eye, but still not quite enough.
This passive set has no flicker. None. Nada. The glasses with this passive set are light enough that you'll completely forget you have them on if you're already used to wearing glasses. The brightness, color saturation, and contrast of the TV completely overcomes the slight tinting the polarized glasses cause.
You're looking at those numbers and you can't quite believe me I'm sure. Been there, done that. You probably can't even detect the flicker on your active setup. If you put the active and passive sets side by side and watch scenes from the same movie, going back and forth between the two you will soon notice that you have just been overcoming that flicker effect. The thing is it's just like overcoming a bad smell. You just get accustomed to it after a while until you take a break and breath a little fresh air for a bit and go back into it. Then you know it's still there.
I know what the specs are and I know what the experience has been for me. Although it seems "unintuitive" (as Roadhog's article said) it's true. Something about the passive system has that analogue feel, like vinyl has that analogue sound. I understand that analogue sound is lossless and it's a poor analogy. I'm just telling you what it felt like to me going from active shutter to passive.
I think that even though we are still watching 24FPS movies and 60FPS games with both 3d techs, I think the brain likes it better when both eyes are seeing those FPS at the same time rather than l/r/l/r/l/r/l/r.
I do miss the rez when 3d gaming
, even though I run with twice the AA, but the feel is still better.
I love it when there are competing technologies, especially when there is room for both because they're compatible! One upping each other with each generation inching closer and closer to that elusive perfection which is just on the horizon.
Maybe active shutter just needs a slightly higher refresh per eye? We're more likely to see if that's the case, now that there is some competition. Then maybe we will see higher res passive or glasses free sets using familiar tech or new tech entirely. It will still be stereo-vision 3d, because that's how we see the world.
Win, win, win.
3d is finally becoming mainstream.
Now I want my fracking holodeck. A flying car might be nice too, but I digress..

I've done side by side comparison if Art 300 and IMWT contact prints and I do perceive less sharpness with the 300 but it seems to suit certain images. As Barry says there's plenty of fine detail, it just appears a bit less crisp to me.

So at first I was like hmmm..its okay. BUT over time I ended up really liking it and I recently ran out so I am going to buy more! I also use this with the conditioner. This shampoo thoroughly cleans your hair and paired with the conditioner, makes it soft and shiny. It isn't the best as far as performance goes, but I was looking for a protein free, cone free shampoo and this is it. Although it does have Polyquaternium-7 (can turn into formaldehyde) and parabens but overall it does a good job.

I am so thrilled that The Body Shop reintroduced their Banana Shampoo.....it was a favorite of mine in the 1990s and I was shocked when they discontinued it in favor of a new line of shampoos (which are all gone now, of course). I guess they realized their mistake and made the wise decision of bringing it back (I mean seriously, aside from the Banana shampoo & conditioner, a couple of body washes and their White Musk, The Body Shop would have no raison d'etre!) I love the gentleness of this shampoo on my thick, curly hair, the rich conditioning qualities of the formula (with real banana as the 3rd ingredient!) and of course I LOVE the natural banana scent (no banana tafffy here!) I will continue to purchase this shampoo as long as they decide to make it! :-)
PS- I also recommend the companion banana conditioner, which has been reformulated and greatly improved!

Im writing this review as a shampoo and conditioner combine. I have used it this past week, and seriously, so far my hair has been looking and feeling really nice. I know people had some complaints that when used alone its drying, and i cant really comment on that because I use a little conditioner every day, but so far I'm really feeling this stuff.

My scalp and hair can get dry if I don't use the right product. From the looks of it, the product in the bottle looks really creamy, which I do love for s&c's. Once I rinse off the shampoo from the my hair, it feels more like a clarifying shampoo. My hair feels squeaky clean. Some people embrace the effect, but I was looking for something more moisturizing. To the Body's Shop's credit, the bottle does state "For All Hair Types," so I should have bought something specifically for dry hair. I just couldn't resist the banana scent though, as there really aren't many banana scented products out there in the market.

I really like the shampoo and conditioner. I saw a fellow reviewer talk about how the shampoo makes your hair dry - totally does - you definitely need a conditioner with this shampoo. You don't get a lot of product, but the price is usually right. A lot of the times they have buy 1 get 1 half off or buy 2 get 1 free, which is great! The shampoo hardly lathers though, so if you like lather, I wouldn't recommend this. The conditioner works well (like most conditioners) if you only work it through the ends of your hair, otherwise it can weigh your hair down. Overall, a nice product. Smells EXACTLY like banana popsicle...but once you wash it out you're left with a very subtle scent. Nobody will comment saying your hair smells like bananas :)

Originally, I said I wouldn't give this 5 lippies because I believed this shampoo not to be clarifying enough, but after a few more washes, I realized it actually was. It does a good job at getting rid of gunk left from silicone products and dry flakes on my scalp. It gives light moisture to hair, refreshing it and keeping it from becoming scratchy and rough. However, it still can be a bit drying, so don't skimp out on the conditioner. Also, like the conditioner, this smells more like pina colada and coconut than banana.

I love the smell of this shampoo. It makes my hair feel really dry after I used it before I use the banana conditioner. After I condition it however it feels absolutely amazing.
I've bought it many times and still works awesome. Super good price

I actually don't know if I would buy this again or not. The banana scent is a little overwhelming, but I like bananas, so that isn't so awful. However, after a few days I feel like using something else. I guess you could call it a nice "weekend shampoo" that is light but effective.

I share a hate-love relationship with this product. Firstly the smell, it has a very thick smell which will take some time to sink in and get used to. Not light and refreshing but thick and nice. The good thing is that it does not last so long, as in the smell is not overpowering after some time which is perfect because I definitely do not want to be smelling it the whole day.
1) The packaging, there is something about the packaging that I like a lot. It is transparent thus, I am able to view how much product is left and when I am going to run out. Other than that, it's a bias rating which I cannot explain.
2) It cleans really well. They weren't kidding when they said it cleans well. Every time I use this shampoo, I feel squeaky clean.
3) It is very moisturizing for your scalp. I have itchy scalp and even though it does not address that issue, it helps soothe a little.
1) It is not cheap compared to drugstore shampoos which is not an attractive. A drugstore shampoo can provide the exact same results for much lesser money and more product.
2) It is very drying. Do take note that I am reviewing on the shampoo itself not the conditioner. The shampoo alone is very drying and my boyfriend who used it felt the same way too. Once I wash off the shampoo to put conditioner my hair feels like straw, it is a awful feeling. It is not ideal to use this on a everyday basis. For me, I think of it is a one a week hair treatment.
3) It does not give that shine many reviewers claim it gave.
I will not buy this shampoo again because I can guarantee any drugstore shampoo can provide the same moisturizing effect this shampoo can give for a cheaper price. It's nothing fabulous.

I absolutely adore this shampoo! I've gone through 2 bottles of it already and will be going back very soon to pick some more up. This shampoo cleans my hair like no other and gives it such a nice sheen! I think this shampoo is actually best paired with the Banana conditioner. I find that they compliment each other so well, almost like if I use and not the other... my hair is missing something=P The main thing I love about this shampoo is the amount of shine it gives to my hair without weighing it down. My new HG shampoo=D!

Ladik also warns of the new threat posed by rising layoffs. "The market moves much faster than the INS. The volatile economy can jeopardize someone's whole application. The person can either be laid off or passed up for promotions because a significant change of duties means you have to start all over," he explains.
Adds Jo Anne Adlerstein, attorney and head of immigration at a New York law firm: "At this point there's no such thing as a routine [immigration] case."
Both the INS and the Labor Department are aware of their public perception and say they are working on a solution. The Clinton administration tried to pitch in and ameliorate the backlogs by passing new legislation. But most attorneys agree the laws only made the situation worse.
For all the frustration and time spent waiting, even a successful green card recipient can be left with bittersweet feelings. Says Italian native Elena Olivari, an architect and new permanent resident working in San Francisco: "At the end, it [the process] has nothing to do with you. … The freedom once you get the green card is great. The freedom they took away from you is the worst part."

This would be one of the biggest comebacks in college football history considering the circumstances.
The Rose Bowl is special. It's by far my favorite bowl to watch. Texas has provided some absolute thrillers at the Rose Bowl in the last five years.
If Bama blows it, there is going to be hell to pay for Nick Saban taking his foot off the gas for most of the second half.
Ballgame ... maybe. Bama recovers a fumble inside the Texas five yard line. Texas has got to hold them to a field goal here.
Saban may have a concussion after that Gatorade bath/steamrolling...

Judd-490, PR66 Brown
Judd-490, PR66 Brown
Design. Obverse similar to the adopted design. Heraldic shield with arrows, topped by a cross, with laurel clusters down both sides. The shield is low in the field, and the date is divided by the ball of the shield. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST is above the shield, in small letters. The reverse shows a Knobbed or "Dutch" 5 centered in a laurel wreath, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the rim. Struck in copper with a plain edge.
Commentary. The issue has been widely collected since Robert Coulton Davis first described it in The Coin Collector's Journal in 1885 (Davis 225). Collectors recognized the combination of rarity and affordability represented by the coin early on. Specimens are known on both thick planchets (71 grains) and thin planchets (55 grains). This example is a thin planchet, weighing in at 55.2 grains. Hobbyist Lou Butterfield discovered an interesting cutting error on the obverse die. The remains of a letter T can be seen in the field, to the right of the motto. The second laurel leaf points to the base of the partially effaced T. Saul Teichman believes that the engraver initially positioned the motto too far to the right on the die. The error was noticed and corrected, leaving the telltale letter as a remnant (see USPatterns.com for photograph and discussion).
Physical Description. The coin features a remarkably strong strike, with all details of the design elements fully brought up. The fields are fully reflective, under attractive shades of cerulean-blue and an accent of red-violet. The surfaces are free of distractions and complement the crisp detail of the devices. Fantastic eye appeal. NGC Census: 2 in PR66 Brown, 1 finer. PCGS Population: 2 in PR65 Red and Brown; none finer (12/08).

Mine came with a blush and although I loved the blush I can't see myself using the brush much. The hair is too soft and maybe a little too sparse to pick up much blush in the pan and although the enormous sponge is good for highlighting the cheekbones I don't need it as I don't often use powder highlighter. I've given it to my teen daughter who is pleased with it.

Whats not to like about this brush, it gives you even fluff foundation coverage and precision blush application. I do have to work with the foundation brush side near my eyes because it hard to control under my eyes and corners of my nose, but seriously its a good dual brush. Since this was free in my kit, I dont know the price, but I do love the convenience of packing one brush with dual ends than packing two brushes.

I got this brush in a set from QVC, and I honestly just don't like it. The bristles aren't that soft, which isn't a big deal since I don't like them too soft anyway, but the f/d brush basically just sucks when it comes to getting product on your face or distributing. I wouldn't trust it. I need my bristles to be more dense to distribute product, and less stiff or something. The blush side seems ok, the feel of the bristles is still the same, but it's more narrow so it will pick up color. However, because it's so narrow, it will make blush apply stripe-y which I don't want when it comes to blush. So...kind of a waste and I will totally get rid of it when possible.

Padron Magnum 5 Pack
9 x 50 - Natural - Pack of 5
Padron cigars receive their quality in the manner in which these cigars are made. Expect a restricted batch to become introduced available for purchase just once every year. The real reason for this really is Padron uses the ideal Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua when they are at their peak of
If you have 2 hours plus their is no better cigar to burn. Burn, draw, and flavor are perfect all 8 smokeable inches.
The Padron family of cigars are a wonderful and reasonable priced cigar for the afficienado. The Magnum is the largest stick avaialble from Padron. This cigar has a warm, buttery cocao start, with notes of coffee and spice throughout. It finishes with a mellow woody tone. I've smoked only 5 of the 26, but I find that a groove cut works the best for this cigar. This keeps the finshing flavor just right. A full cut will make the end stronger and a bullet makes it too hard to draw. I also tried cutting one in half for a short smoke. It seems to spoil the smoke, with both halves not being the warm buttery cocao I'm used too, making the cigar more peppery. Great clouds of white smoke and a great aroma (according to my wife) and a LONG burn make this a great evening cigar.
The construction has been consistent. The descriptions of a hint of coffee and cocoa are accurate. The pre-light aroma is wonderful. And when you light up, there is a ton of smoke. It is strong, but still pretty smooth. Just make sure you set aside some serious time! (Or cut it in two and smoke your first of two Rothschilds!)
