A Better Third Way
Taking universalism seriously, New Liberals would also offer fresh approaches in contentious areas that have fractured the progressive coalition, sundering blacks from whites and organized from unorganized workers. For example, New Liberals would seek to apply civil rights principles to poor and working-class people of all races in at least three areas: affirmative action, school desegregation and union organizing.
First, affirmative action should be redefined to provide a leg up to economically disadvantaged people of all races. In the legal and political warfare over affirmative action in university admissions and elsewhere, Old Liberals emphasize ends (we don't want universities and the professional work force to be all white), while New Democrats and conservatives emphasize means (we don't want skin color to determine who gets ahead in society). New Liberals seek to reconcile fair means and desirable ends by providing a leg up based on disadvantage itself, looking at economic status directly rather than race as a crude proxy. When conservative critics of affirmative action ask why it is fair for Vernon Jordan's kids to get a preference over the daughter of a white welfare mother, they unwittingly underline a profoundly progressive message: Class matters. Rather than awarding points on the basis of race, or simply judging candidates on test scores and grades, class-based affirmative action seeks to evaluate a candidate's record in light of obstacles overcome, as a better measure of true merit and potential.
Because class-based affirmative action is fundamentally fair, polls find that it is much more popular than the race-based system. For example, in a December 1997 New York Times/CBS poll Americans rejected racial preferences 52-35 percent but favored replacing such policies with preferences for the poor 53-37 percent. Moreover, where race-based preferences divide the interests of working-class whites and blacks in an unmistakable way, class-based preferences unite these groups in a way that will immeasurably enhance the fight for a fairer society in other areas.
Second, school integration should be redefined with a focus on economic status, so that every child in America has the right to choose to attend a middle-class public school. Today the courts have eviscerated the promise of Brown v. Board of Education, and even voluntary racial integration plans are being struck down. Old Liberals and some New Democrats have been reduced to good but small education ideas--school uniforms, reduced class size, etc.--none of which address the fountainhead of school inequality: the inevitable difference in quality between poor and wealthy schools. Meanwhile, the right and some other New Democrats have pushed a scheme for privatizing education that most careful observers believe will further segregate the schools, by class and race, since the "choice" that conservatives talk about ultimately rests with private schools rather than with students.
It's time for a big idea in education, in which all American children are given the right to attend a public school in which the majority of students come from middle-class households. Ironically, conservative voucher advocates, by emphasizing the basic unfairness of assigning poor kids to bad local schools, have implicitly recognized that neighborhood schools can be a source of great unfairness for poor people. Instead of giving poor kids vouchers to unaccountable private schools, poor children should, in this middle-class country, be given the right to choose to attend middle-class public schools. Marrying two popular American ideas, choice and public education, economic school integration can help make good on our longstanding promise that public education should be an engine for social mobility.
How can economic school integration be achieved? Busing is a nonstarter. Far better is a mechanism known as "controlled choice," devised by Charles Willie of Harvard and Michael Alves of Brown. Parents in a given community are polled to find out what sort of school themes and pedagogical approaches they find attractive for their children (for example, a computer science theme in one school or a Montessori approach in another). All schools in the area are magnetized to reflect the community's interests, and families are given an opportunity to rank preferences among the various public school offerings. Officials then honor choices with an eye to promoting integration.
In places like Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Montclair, New Jersey, controlled choice has long been used to balance racial populations, but the structure can easily be used to balance schools by income as well, using eligibility for subsidized school lunches as a measure. This new emphasis on students' economic status--favored by communities like La Crosse, Wisconsin, Manchester, Connecticut, and Wake County (Raleigh), North Carolina--is at the cutting edge of school integration. It offers a way to address the separation of poor and middle-class children and will indirectly promote racial integration in a manner that's perfectly legal. Economic integration is easiest to implement within school district lines, but city-suburban transfer programs in Hartford, Boston, St. Louis and elsewhere provide models for interdistrict integration.

First, the Texas governor will have to explain away the manifold gaffes and failures from his last presidential campaign.
My first son was about to be born, and I was terrified that my manifold inadequacies as a man would sabotage my success as a dad.
But the accomplishments this group has managed to achieve in a very short time are manifold.
Old English monigfald (Anglian), manigfeald (West Saxon), "various, varied in appearance, complicated; numerous, abundant," from manig (see many) + -feald (see -fold). A common Germanic compound (cf. Old Frisian manichfald, Middle Dutch menichvout, German mannigfalt, Swedish mångfalt, Gothic managfalþs), perhaps a loan-translation of Latin multiplex (see multiply). Retains the original pronunciation of many. Old English also had a verbal form, manigfealdian "to multiply, abound, increase, extend."
Old English manigfealdlic "in various ways, manifoldly," from the source of manifold (adj.).
in mechanical sense, first as "pipe or chamber with several outlets," 1884, see manifold (adj.); originally as manifold pipe (1857), with reference to a type of musical instrument mentioned in the Old Testament.

Released Mar 03, 2009
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
The 2008 E3 Media & Business Summit took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on July 15-17.
Experience Points are part of a character advancement system commonly found in RPGs. These points are generally gained by defeating an enemy or completing a task.
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
Constantly killing creatures without doing official quests or objectives, to advance in rank or level.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
An indication of the amount of damage a character can sustain in game. The loss of all hit points results in the players death, or penalty.
This is a concept in fighting or other action games of attacking an enemy in order to keep the enemy in the air, unable to fight back. This is also a tactic in tower defense games of keeping the enemy on the battlefield longer by manipulating towers.
The process by which characters reach a new level, gain greater attributes, and learn more abilities. It usually involves earning enough experience points by completing a variety of tasks such as quests or by "farming" such as killing other characters for their experience points.

A game created for the female demographic which puts the player in control of a female protagonist who tries to win the hearts of attractive men. Also called GxB (Girl x Boy) games by some Western fans.
A system in which the player is allowed to control multiple characters. Most commonly seen in role playing games. Can also be used to describe party systems in the MMORPG genre, which brings a group of players together to accomplish various tasks.
Picking the gender of your character can help immerse you in the game world. Sometimes this leads to different abilities in-game, sometimes it means nothing at all.
Special locations in game that allow the player to manually save their progress.
Tokyo Game Show 2008, the world's second biggest video game trade show, was held from October 9th to 12th 2008 at the Makuhari Messe.

The man who was the object of several manhunts in Blue Earth County while he evaded custody for several weeks made an appearance in court Tuesday. 31-year-old Jacob Friedrichs was eventually found at his girlfriend's home after fleeing from police several times. He is facing felony charges of 1st-degree assault and fleeing police in a motor vehicle after allegedly running into a county squad car in late June while the deputy stood next to the vehicle. He's also facing 2 counts of financial card fraud for an incident in February. In court on Tuesday, prosecutors announced that there will be even more charges coming out against Friedrichs in the future as well, along with possible charges against those who helped him evade arrest. His next court hearing is set for late September.

Travel Snobs
C'mon now. Admit it. You all know one (or two) and are guilty of being one at some point or other. You know the type. "I've been to XXX number of countries and you haven't so I'm more sophisticated than you are." Or worse, "We don't travel to touristy spots. WE prefer to go to the hard to reach, remote places that truly enrich our cultural experiences." So why do some travellers behave this way? Do we really believe that we are "better" because we've been to the top of some remote volcano or the bottom of some canyon that took us a rickety old plane ride, a derelict bus ride and a 10 mile walk to get to? And yes, I DO know some people like this.

NBC to Release SMASH's 'Bombshell' Cast Recording
NBC and Columbia Records announced that the soundtrack for Bombshell, the musical within NBC's Golden Globe-nominated series television hit "SMASH" (Tuesdays, 10-11pm ET), will be released on February 12. Bombshell is available now for pre-order.
Bombshell will contain 22 original songs that make up the Broadway-caliber cast recording of the musical, complete with liner notes detailing the plot of Bombshell. The soundtrack features stars Katherine McPhee (Karen), Megan Hilty ( Ivy Lynn ), and other cast members performing the original music created for the show's musical-within-a-musical by Tony and Grammy award-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman .
"SMASH" has been honored with Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. The show returns for a second season on Tuesday, February 5 at 9pm ET with a special two-hour episode. The songs on the Bombshell soundtrack will span both seasons of "SMASH."
NBC's "SMASH" celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a "Smash." Evolving from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Steven Spielberg ("ER," "Schindler's List"), the series unites the hit-making Broadway writing team of Julia Houston ( Debra Messing , Emmy winner, "Will & Grace") and Tom Levitt ( Christian Borle , "Legally Blonde: The Musical") with producer Eileen Rand ( Anjelica Huston , Oscar winner, "Prizzi's Honor") to create a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe , and seasoned chorus girl Ivy Lynn (Hilty, "9 to 5: The Musical") vies with newcomer Karen Cartwright (McPhee, "American Idol") for the role of a lifetime.
In Season 2, the "Bombshell" team is one step closer to achieving their Broadway dream. The Boston run was the success the team was hoping for, but they are all about to learn even a charmed show cannot avoid paying for sins of the past. Across the Brooklyn Bridge, Jimmy Collins ( Jeremy Jordan ) and Kyle Bishop ( Andy Mientus ) are toiling away on a rock musical of their own, which could either become "Bombshell's" biggest rival, or yet one more Broadway false start. Guest stars in season two include Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy winner ("American Idol," "Dreamgirls"), Emmy winner Sean Hayes ("Will & Grace"), Jesse L. Martin ("Rent," "Law & Order"), and Liza Minnelli (Tony, Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner.) In addition to Spielberg, the executive producers include Joshua Safran ("Gossip Girl"), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States of Tara," "The Borgias"), Craig Zadan and Neil Meron ("Chicago," "Hairspray"), Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can"), Jim Chory ("Heroes," "American Dreams") and Theresa Rebeck ("Mauritius"). "Smash" is from Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television.

LOS ANGELES - The Walt Disney Co. will distribute Apocalypto, a Mayan-language film by actor-director Mel Gibson, as planned on Dec. 8, a Walt Disney Studios spokeswoman said Friday.
That confirmation refutes recent media and Internet reports that family-oriented Disney wanted to sell distribution rights to the film to another studio to distance itself from the controversy over anti-Semitic remarks Gibson made when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving last month in Malibu, California.
Its not true, Disney spokeswoman Heidi Trotta said of the reports. Disney had no role in producing the film, a thriller with a cast of unknowns that is set in in an ancient Mayan settlement and told in the Yucatec dialect with subtitles. Hollywood experts said that until his arrest, it was expected that Gibson would lead the publicity campaign for the film.

About UsTeddy bears are being featured at Church Street Station this month, so I thought I would share some of the history of teddy bears with you. Where did teddy bears come from:
Teddy Bears have been popular gifts and possessions since their entrance on the toy scene in 1902.
Teddy Bears came into being in both America and Germany in the same year through different circumstances. In America teddy bears started out as Teddyï¾'s Bear as a result of an incident involving, as you might imagine, President Teddy Roosevelt, bear hunting and the state of Mississippi.
The Teddy Bear was introduced to the toy scene in Germany the same year by the Steiff stuffed toy business as a result of the drawings made of bears in the Stuttgart Museum by a relative of the businessï¾'s owner.
After years of public disinterest the teddy bear became a popular toy again because of a British actorメs interest in teddy bears in the late 1960s, モBritish actor Peter Bull openly expressed his love for teddy bears and his belief in the teddy bear's importance in the emotional life of adults.ヤ *
Once again teddy bears are popular as gifts to young children and as collector items by adults.
For the rest of the story please take a few minutes to visit teddy bear and friends website and Wikipedia.

Providenciales Travel Guide
There's never a bad time to be there, and you'll never wonder what to do in Providenciales. Spend a day horseback riding along the coastline, or take a boat tour of the azure waters. The ocean itself offers a wide variety of activities: deep sea diving, swimming or snorkeling and discovering the natural wildlife living among the coral reefs. The tropical weather is perfect for all types of water sports.
For the avid golfer Providenciales is a paradise of long days to spend traipsing about the Provo Golf Club, a world-class 18-hole course. However, if you'd rather hiking into the jungles than walk a manicured golf course, you can explore 13 miles of protected and undeveloped wildlife in the Princess Alexandra National Park. Another great option is just enjoying a relaxing day in the sun.
For nighttime fun, there's the Casablanca Casino, the Coco Bistro-Performance Venue for live entertainment, and a number of discos to check out. Whether you're a person always looking to be on the go, or looking to relax and gain some peace of mind, there are plenty of things to do in Providenciales.
The Scene: With picnic tables right on Blue Hill Beach, this locals' favorite is as laid back as it gets. Another big draw is the fresh conch that's kept in pens on the water's edge.
The 51-room Nikki Beach Resort, in a gated enclave on Providenciales's northern coast.
The Scene: Chic and sleek, this swanky newcomer, decorated with blazing blue and gold Bisazza glass mosaic tiles, was designed by Keith Hobbs of United Designers, known for his work with Nobu and London's W Hotel.

Doctors asked for silicosis records
Congressional body seeks information on diagnoses
A congressional committee has asked more than a dozen doctors and screening companies to turn over information regarding their involvement in hundreds of silicosis lawsuits that are at the center of court proceedings in U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack's Corpus Christi courtroom.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Hopkinsville, Ky., chairman of the oversight and investigations subcommittee, sent letters to 12 doctors last week asking them to explain how a diagnosis of silicosis is made, the number of people they have diagnosed with the disease and the number of patients they have diagnosed as not having the disease.
The committee also asked how many patients the screening companies previously had diagnosed with asbestosis, a similar lung disease that rarely occurs in conjunction with silicosis.
"This is often a first step for the committee in gathering information," said committee spokesman Terry Lane.
Lane said the committee has not scheduled a formal hearing on the matter and characterized the call for records as a fact-finding mission focused mainly on the doctors. He said their involvement in the case raised questions about their medical practices.
Silicosis is a chronic and potentially fatal lung disease caused by exposure to silica dust, a byproduct of sandblasting, concrete demolition and the production of paint and fiberglass. The disease can be diagnosed through the use of lung X-rays, a physical examination and a review of a patient's work history.
Nearly 10,000 people have filed lawsuits against manufacturing and industrial companies claiming to have been injured by exposure to the dust. Nearly all of them were diagnosed by the same handful of doctors.
The cases come from eight states but have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in Jack's court.
The congressional committee took up the silicosis issue in response to Jack issuing a 249-page ruling last month saying, in part, that the lawsuits appeared to be more about making money than seeking justice for injured workers. The ruling followed a three-day hearing in February, during which defense attorneys systematically attacked the thoroughness of the doctors' work and the legal context in which they determined the workers were sick.
"These diagnoses were about litigation rather than health care," Jack wrote.
Dr. Todd Coulter, a Mississippi physician named in the committee's action, said he had not received notification for records.
"You've got to be kidding me," he said when told of the committee's action. "You're telling me something I don't know anything about."
A status conference is scheduled for Aug. 22 to settle a matter over how much the plaintiffs' attorney will pay to offset the cost of the February hearing.
Meanwhile, a federal grand jury in Manhattan is looking into the possibility of criminal misconduct. During the February hearing, Jack said some of the doctors' testimony raised "great red flags of fraud."

GPs failing on new standard for practice nurse training
A significant number of GP practices are struggling to hit new Care Quality Commission standards incorporating nurse access to training, Nursing Times has learnt.
The regulator's chief executive Cynthia Bower said she hoped a requirement for all GP practices to register with the CQC by next April would act as a "lever" to improve training for practice nurses.
But she told Nursing Times that "staffing" was emerging in pilot studies for the new system as one of the 16 "essential standards" that GPs expected to find most challenging. This included whether they employed sufficient numbers of suitably qualified staff.
Under the CQC standards, GP practices must prove they employ "sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, skilled and experienced persons" who receive "appropriate training [and] professional development" and are "enabled…to obtain further qualifications".
Around one in 10 practices are expected to be at "significant risk" of non compliance with one or more of the standards.
Nursing Times has previously revealed how increasingly patchy funding for practice nurse training has encouraged "uneasy" alliances with the pharmaceutical industry, which sometimes provide free courses and text books (news, page 1, 6 July 2010).
British Medical Association president David Haslam, who is helping the CQC with its GP registration work, said lack of access to training for practice nurses was "a huge issue". There were "lots of internal negotiations and discussions going on" between practices and regulators about how to improve the situation, he said.
Tim Curry, assistant head of the nursing department at the Royal College of Nursing, said the creation of clinical commissioning groups could help practices to share training costs.
But he added they also needed to ensure there was sufficient staffing "backfill" to allow nurses to go on courses without having to close services for a day.

Key Executives for DIATHERIX Laboratories, Inc.
DIATHERIX Laboratories, Inc. Key Developments
DIATHERIX Laboratories, Inc. announced the appointment of Ruth W. Brinkley, FACHE, to its board of directors. Brinkley has more than 40 years of healthcare experience working in private, public, academic, community-based and healthcare organizations. She currently serves as president and chief executive officer of KentuckyOne Health and as senior vice president of operations for Catholic Health Initiatives.
DIATHERIX Laboratories, Inc. has been awarded a second federal contract to continue its work in the development of research methodologies designed to support the development of diagnostic tools to detect certain low prevalence pathogens. The contract is a joint award from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support the development of diagnostic devices/platforms to detect high priority pathogens, as classified by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Diatherix's research focuses on three NIAID pathogens: Francisella tularensis, Escherichia coli, and Babesia microti. Though not prevalent in the natural environment, the pathogens are prioritized by NIAID because of the ease with which they can be disseminated or transmitted; the mortality rates and public health impact they can generate; their potential to cause public panic and social disruption; and the special actions that are required for public health preparedness. For instance, F. tularensis has a low infectious dose, is highly virulent, and is easily spread by aerosol; as such, it is classified by the NIAID and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a Category A Priority pathogen/biological agent that poses high risk to national security and public health. The low prevalence of these pathogens complicates the development of diagnostic tools to aid in their detection, as sufficient clinical samples may not be available to conduct the clinical sensitivity studies required for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. To address this regulatory and scientific challenge, the FDA is exploring the use of "spiked" clinical samples special lab samples in which the pathogen being studied is introduced at increased or enriched levels to support sensitivity studies for the evaluation of diagnostic devices.
Luminex Corp. is claiming that Diatherix, is infringing on its patents for rapid testing of a number of medical conditions. A lawsuit filed by Luminex Corp. argues that Diatherix has infringed on three of its patents that are connected with Luminex's patented xMAP technology, which the company says is capable of performing at least 500 tests on a single sample. Diatherix and its CEO Frank Grimaud are named in the lawsuit. Efforts to obtain a comment from the company were not immediately successful. In the complaint, Luminex alleges Diatherix and Grimaud were familiar with the Luminex patents. Luminex contends the Diatherix violated at least one claim in each of three U.S. patents. The lawsuit also alleges breach of contract and seeks unspecified damages and an order barring Diatherix and its employees from use of the patents.
