'Torchwood' Star Eve Myles Talks 'Miracle Day'
Despite the terror that can accompany working for the 'Torchwood' team, which investigates otherworldly threats to Earth, you get the impression that the former cop wouldn't have it any other way.
I recently spoke to Eve Myles, who plays Cooper, about Gwen's journey from Welsh cop to alien investigator to mother. Through it all, Gwen has remained the best friend of Captain Jack Harkness, which isn't exactly an easy gig -- and it sounds as though that role gets even tougher in 'Torchwood: Miracle Day,' which depicts what would happen if people on Earth were to suddenly stop dying.
BBC America serves up first seven minutes of new Torchwood
The week-long, five episode mini-series has already generated enough spoilers here at TV Squad and around the web, so we'll take care to avoid repeat performances here. For now, stateside viewers can visit BBC America's video page to watch the first seven minutes of the third season's first show in which Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) dies of Ptomaine poisoning.
The first 20 minutes of the same episode were already available on the BBC America On Demand channel included with some cable services.
Torchwood burning up the UK weekly ratings
Series star John Barrowman griped last week about the BBC producing only a five-episode series for Torchwood's third season. But, the week-long mini-series turned the 2009 appearance of the Doctor Who spinoff into a TV phenomena desperately awaited by its fans.
Torchwood's move to BBC One more than doubled the show's season two ratings, and there's no telling how high those numbers could go for tonight's mini-series finale.
Will live commercials slow your FFWD finger? - VIDEOS
One of the many problems facing broadcasters as we move into the future is the proliferation of DVRs and their fantastic ability to allow people to blow right through all of those bill paying commercials. In the continuing effort to thwart quick fingered viewers, networks are turning to live commercials.
The idea being that the live commercial offers something different enough that it will be worth your time, while your 300th viewing of Cisco welcoming you to the human network no longer even registers. The New York Times has a good article on how this latest incarnation of what is a very old idea is being implemented. They talk about spots that Kimmel and Leno have done and also give a peak at Spike's plans for a live three-minute game show that would run during commercial breaks.
Torchwood: Exit Wounds (season finale)
The cast and crew spent all season really fleshing out this team for us and making us learn to love and care for each of them; all of it leading to this stunning finale. Now the events herein could really resonate. Now you might be asking why such a generic Torchwood picture for such a key episode? I see it as a tribute. To what? Well, if you've seen the episode, maybe you know what. If not, what the hell are you doing here? Go watch it already.
Torchwood: Fragments
What's so brilliant about the stories we get is that in most cases the back-stories are nothing like I would have expected for that character, and yet at the same time it so perfectly serves the personality and drives of each individual on the team. Suddenly, Tosh's meekness, Ianto's eagerness and Owen's boorishness make perfect sense in the context of their past experiences. Even Jack's cavalier behavior and obsessive dedication to Torchwood make sense considering his own history with it. What they've managed is to add more depth to our relationship with each of the individual Torchwood members just in time for all hell to break loose in the finale.
Torchwood: Adrift
(S02E11) "Always room for one more. We could have used you an hour ago for naked hide-and-seek." Jack to Gwen after she walked in on him and Ianto having an intimate moment
Well, it was a vast improvement over last week's episode. And it actually revealed some significant information about the rift and its activities, but that's not to say the episode was without some logistical problems and "conveniences." As seems to be par for the course on Torchwood, there was at least one ridiculously convenient coincidence that the emotional hook of the episode hinged on.
Speaking of that emotional hook, you know how you can tell this is a British television show? Because it didn't get all wrapped up in the end in a nice, easy bow. This is a mainstream show in the UK. How many mainstream shows in the US would allow the whole show to get wrapped up in misery and shame and leave us there? Torchwood has always been the darker, more mature cousin of Doctor Who, and this episode lived up to that title.
Torchwood: From Out of the Rain
It was cool to think of Jack exploiting his immortality by performing as "The Man Who Could Not Die" in a traveling freak show a hundred years ago or so. It would make perfect sense that he'd go into that line of work. But then we learned that he did so while investigating the "night travelers," but he wouldn't say for whom and why he was investigating. Another layer of the Captain Jack onion almost peeled.
Torchwood: Dead Man Walking
(S02E07) The death of Owen Harper trilogy continued. But does death mean the same thing in the world of Torchwood as it does in our world? Do you really need to ask? Aside from an incredibly hokey introductory sequence in which Jack stormed into the above scene, struck a very theatrical pose and said "Nobody touches him until I return!" before abruptly disappearing again, this was a pretty solid episode. I do have to say that the point of Martha's continuing involvement is escaping me as she didn't really have anything to add to this installment.
Torchwood: Adam
(S02E05) If you're one of those people who believes what I tell you then I apologize. As was corrected in the comments last week, this episode was not the one that featured the start of Freema Ageyman's run on Torchwood, reprising her Doctor Who role of Martha Jones. That one is next week. Instead we got a fantastic one-off episode that not only got into the inner workings of the personalities that make up the Torchwood team, but that also showed us some of Jack's mysterious past.
Torchwood: The season so far
Did you really think Captain Jack wouldn't be back? Now in its second series/season in both the UK and the US, we're going to do things a little differently with our Torchwood reviews this year. The fine folks on both sides of the pond finally got things squared away so that new episodes air much closer in the US to their initial UK airing. The third episode airs this Saturday, February 9, on BBC America, which is a little more than a week after the UK airing. To minimize any "spoilery" concerns, the episode reviews will follow the US airings.
But before we can get to that, we need to play a little bit of catch up, so look for an overview of the first two episodes of Series/Season Two after the jump. And about that image up there spoiling the first episode? Hey, that might just be a flashback sequence. That's right, I got you there.

The 190 employees in the Burbank Management Assn. will immediately begin paying the full 8% cost of their employee pension contribution — up from the 1% they currently pay — when the contract goes into effect Sunday.
That's a 6% salary bump over the life of the contract.
The labor agreement will save the city $583,490 over the next two years, according to a city report.
The new contract also includes lowering the bottom salary ranges by 10% — which will impact new employees — starting this year, and increasing the universal leave cash-out for employees from 210 to 250 hours annually, according to the report.
Negotiations between the management union and the city began in May 2012.
As Burbank faces growing pension costs, city officials have sought to reach agreements with its different labor unions requiring their employees pay the member-contribution costs of their pensions.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has been paying the full 8% member contribution since 2008, while members of the Burbank Fire Fighters union are on track to pay their full 9% contribution next year.
Then, members of the Burbank Fire Fighters Chief Officers' Unit will fund all of their 9% contribution the following year.
All other groups currently pay smaller portions of their member contributions, according to a city report.

A cologne named for the Pope
Catholic World News - June 22, 2011
A California firm has generated considerable publicity for its new product, a cologne, "made expressly for His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood."
The cologne, named "Benedictus," is not used by the Pope, nor was it ordered by the Pope. It was named for the Pope by the maker, ExcelsisUSA, which has used the connection to generate public attention for the product. Excelsis also produces "The Pope's Cologne," which is advertised as the private formula of Blessed Pius IX.

This is cheerful news. I bought their Pius IX cologne for my husband last year. After getting accustomed to the "old world" fragrance he uses it at least every Sunday morning. I ordered the Benedictus before I read any of the other articles here.

February 29, 2012 Act of Valor, a film that opened last weekend and earned nearly $25 million, was commissioned by the Navy's Special Warfare Command to drum up recruits for its elite SEALs program. But it's by no means the first movie made with the military's cooperation.

There's only one rule at Donnal's Salon: Donnal's vision is the last word. It might be hard for some to hand over full creative control, but according to St. Louis Magazine, "Donnal has clients who have moved to San Francisco or Chicago and still come back to have him cut their hair." Perhaps what keeps them coming back—aside from the subliminal siren song broadcast from the Gateway Arch—is Donnal's ability to envision what hairstyle will bring out a client's best features. At his salon, he teaches a stable of apprentices and associate stylists how to similarly follow their instincts and provide clients with innovative cut and color treatments.

August 22, 2012 -
Atlantic City will be getting a giant Bass Pro Shop as the next phase of The Walk, the retail and dining district at the end of the Atlantic City Expressway.
The Bass Pro Shop—a superstore for hunting, fishing and camping—is expected to be 70,000 square feet and occupy a 4-acre parcel bordered by Mississippi Avenue and Christopher Columbus Boulevard. Described as a retail destination, the Bass Pro Shop will be the only retail added to the latest expansion, or Phase IV, of The Walk, according an article in the Press of Atlantic City.
This phase of The Walk is being developed by the Cordish Company, the Baltimore-based developer that built the earlier phases of the retail and dining district before selling its interests in those parts of The Walk to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers last year.
The Bass Pro Shop is being cast as an attraction retail outlet. And, indeed, the Bass stores have a track record for that type of appeal—customers browse for hours. And Bass stores previously have wound up in proximity to casinos, either by design or circumstance.
The Silverton Casino in Las Vegas, south of the main portion of the Strip is anchored by a Bass Pro Shop. Also, a Bass Pro Shop is one of the largest retailers in the Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Md., where the Cordish Company recently opened a $500 million casino.
The stores' draw as destinations is described in these statistics from a company press release: "Nationally, Bass Pro Shops will host over 113 million people visiting their 58 stores across America and Canada this year; the average customer stays 2 ½ hours and drives an average distance of 50+ miles."
The nearest Bass stores to Atlantic City are in Harrisburg and Hanover, Md.
While its unclear what attractions will be in the Atlantic City store, Bass Pro Shops often are a combination of retail store and theme park for outdoors enthusiasts. Other Bass stores feature large aquariums, fish feedings, elaborate boat showrooms, hunting and fishing workshops, arcades, archery ranges, NASCAR simulators, wildlife displays and antique equipment, according to Bass' website.
The Atlantic City Bass Pro Shop would break ground early next year and open in late 2013 or spring 2014, according to a company statement.
The Bass Pro Shops addition to the Atlantic City landscape is part of an ongoing effort by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to revitalize and reinvent the city. The CRDA board approved a resolution on Tuesday that authorizes a financial agreement with the Cordish Co. for the Bass Pro Shop development, according to news reports.
Cordish has expressed interest in entering the Atlantic City casino market and the Bass Pro Shop would be in the vicinity of a casino that has been for sale, the Trump Plaza.

White Paper: EMV is Not Enough: Considerations for Implementing 3D Secure
This paper considers the impending U.S. migration to EMV to combat fraud, but concludes that there are additional steps issuers must consider to mitigate fraud risk. The report indicates that there are clear lessons to be learned in the U.S. from the UK's introduction of EMV — and the resulting rise in card-not-present fraud. The paper discusses how the increase in card-not-present fraud coupled with the growth of e-commerce should lead issuers to consider deploying a risk-based authentication on the 3D Secure protocol.

White Paper: Branchless Banking: Africa, the Middle East & Pakistan
Branchless banking allows banks to better serve a variety of mass consumer segments, whether they are those with limited access to bank branches or those with low account balances. According to a 2012 study by Gallup, Inc. and the World Bank, an estimated 2.7 billion people in emerging markets — almost 40 percent of the world's population — are without access to even basic financial services, meaning they remain "unbanked" and don't use formal or semi-formal financial services. The lives of these unbanked could be improved through access to the most basic array of banking services, such as deposits, savings, installment loans, simplified and secure remittances and bill payment.

White Paper: The Next Frontier: The Convergence of Social Media and Payments in India and Southeast Asia
This report looks at the adoption levels of popular social networks in India and Southeast Asia, and how their fast growth could influence consumer banking preferences — whether for purchases, transactions, or information. Combining data from TSYS market research, it explores how payment technologies are likely to evolve and converge with social media, including through the offering of peer-to-peer payment technologies that can facilitate small-value and micropayment transactions. And finally, it highlights the four key challenges that lie ahead for FIs when it comes to navigating social media, along with three strategic considerations for evaluating social payment opportunities.

White Paper: Bank 1.0 and Bank 2.0 Success Entails Learning from Each Other's Best Practices
This report stresses the importance of banks continuing to learn from and follow the lessons of traditional banking as they move toward the future. The most successful transitions will likely involve a hybrid approach: One that builds upon the best practices from the traditional banking model while integrating next-generation practices that consumers want and expect. The white paper outlines some of the best practices of Bank 1.0 and Bank 2.0, and explores some increasingly critical elements that more traditional banks should adopt to maintain relevancy. The three critical factors explored in our roadmap for success include: 1) Building upon core Bank 1.0 practices; 2) Understanding today's consumer banking behaviours and preferences; and 3) Improving the customer experience with technology while gathering better insights.

White Paper: Beyond a Collection of Systems: Deploying a Comprehensive Collections System
Most collections operations today are the direct product of a rapid series of technological innovations over the past two decades: multiple operational "silos," all working in relative symmetry but not really connected with one another. With the recent shift in consumer behaviors and expectations, however, many lack an integrated method for managing all aspect of the "conversation" with individual debtors – from the way we communicate to the offers, treatments and content/context of our communications. These disparate factors expose a major flaw in the current "collection of systems," and highlight the need for a single, unified collections strategy. This white paper examines how we got here and suggests a solution to help regain lost efficiencies, improve effectiveness and ensure that we can operate in compliance with the rapidly-escalating new set of regulatory requirements.

White Paper: Compliance, Control, Transparency: The Key to Success in Today's Collections Market
With delinquency rates at never-before-seen lows, if you thought collections and risk executives can now rest easy, you'd be dead wrong The industry is facing a rapid pace of regulatory changes, a new regulatory body (the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) and a host of aggressive overseers who are creating uncertainty and making things more chaotic than ever. This white paper examines what is happening on the legislative front and what can be done about it when dealing with these new regulatory challenges.

White Paper: Incredible India! Four Imperatives to Accelerate Electronic Payment Adoption
A leading analyst group predicts that "India will climb…to be one of the world's top five generators of non-cash payments by 2017." In the emerging BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) markets, cash remains king; but in India the tide is turning as consumers increasingly conduct electronic payment transactions with either plastic cards or, to a lesser degree, mobile phone-based applications. This market trend is being driven by a population of more than 1.2 billion, 350-400 million of which are part of the burgeoning middle class. This key demographic, growing annually at five percent, is developing a voracious appetite for consumer goods that can be supported through access to basic banking services provided by domestic and foreign financial institutions.

White Paper: Incredible India! M-Payments and Prepaid Poised to Define Financial Institutions' Delivery of Banking & Payment Services to Rural India
Today it's fairly common to see a passenger board an international flight in New York by presenting a smart phone loaded with an e-boarding pass or a train in Italy by displaying a quick response code-enabled e-ticket on an iPad. Mobile transactions are catching on in developed markets as consumers increasingly move away from computers and on to a new generation of mobile devices. The next wave of electronic transactions—mobile payments, or m-payments—is on the verge of surging. This is especially true in emerging markets like India where frugal innovations could fill enormous market voids that leave large populations at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) underserved. In particular, the symbiotic relationship between prepaid and mobile phones defines a natural entry point for inclusion of the rural unbanked into the formal financial system and would support adoption on a mass scale. Innovation at the intersection of these two already widely adopted services by India's BOP consumers is a market opportunity ripe for development by financial institutions.

White Paper: Managing Digital Complexity: The Evolving Landscape of Archive Systems
Abstract: Recall the closing scene of the American action-adventure film "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when the treasure-filled crate was carefully stored away in a cavernous government warehouse to perhaps never be seen again. For many of today's businesses, their most important treasures are not gleaming gold artifacts, but rather data. Yet many of today's archival processes, built to store millions of pages of paper documentation, still more closely resemble that impenetrable warehouse with its stacks of crates than the digital, real-time and on-demand systems businesses need to meet the demands of a data-driven economy.

White Paper: The Lending Industry Adopts Unprecedented Collections Practices in the Wake of Economic Crisis
Abstract: The economic downturn has resulted in record numbers of consumers becoming unable to meet their financial obligations, resulting in unprecedented levels of credit losses realized by lenders worldwide. Prior to the credit crunch, the organizations that were the most effective at collecting debts were the ones that sent the most letters and had the largest call center representatives on hand to contact delinquent customers - in short, more letters and more phone calls resulted in more collected debts. However, as the economy slipped into recession, the effectiveness of these strategies began to decline and credit losses reached record highs.

Abstract: Tools that can drive loyalty remain at a premium in the current business climate. As part of the ongoing quest to attract and retain customers and employees, prepaid incentive cards are growing and quickly becoming a viable and powerful alternative to cash rewards and merchandise offers. New findings from a survey, conducted by trade publication Retail TouchPoints and online research firm Decision Tree Labs, found significant gains in awareness and usage of prepaid cards for incentives, customer rebates and loyalty offers. In addition, the survey pointed to growing opportunity for consumer brands to drive traffic and average transaction size via prepaid card incentive offers.

White Paper: On-Demand Payment Cards and Personalization
Abstract: The current economic contraction, increased consumer choice enabled by digital technology, and consumers' more discerning consumption patterns set the platform for the personalization trend and its adoption across industries, including financial services. Innovation is all the more imperative as credit card issuers face negative annualized returns for the first time in over 30 years. This report outlines the benefits to financial institutions (FIs) of implementing end-to-end,on-demand and personalized payment card strategies to meet niche markets and mitigate operational risks, such as excess inventory. The benefits aren't limited to large FIs alone, but also extend to small- and mid-sized issuers with existing payment card program portfolios and to those either entering the market for the first time or re-entering it.

White Paper: Leveraging Collections as a Customer Retention Tool
Abstract: A new strategy is imperative as financial institutions face $44.4 billion in charge-offs. Financial institutions' (FIs) charge-off rates continue on an upward trajectory, fueled by delinquency rates that are at a historic high and exacerbated by unprecedented unemployment levels. At the same time, legislation mandating credit card reform is threatening to squeeze FIs' profitability, transforming collections into an instrumental customer retention tool that is capable of augmenting contributions to an institution's financial health. This report explores the importance of adopting a modern collections strategy, one that is relevant to the current economic landscape and contributes to customer retention.

White Paper: Taking Payments to a Higher Level With More Customer Touch Points
Abstract: Now that electronic payments have gone beyond the province of the Internet savvy, many financial institutions have begun to expand their electronic payment offerings to include channels such as the call center and interactive voice response units. By offering more touch points through which customers can automate payments, financial institutions can improve customer satisfaction, gain operating efficiencies and boost their cash flow by clearing payments on the day they are received. What's holding many financial institutions back from pursuing more electronic touch points is an aging support infrastructure with limited functionality. As a result, it can be costly and time consuming for them to expand the remittance capabilities of these applications, as they are not always compatible with newer software.

White Paper: TechBrief: A View from the Crow's Nest
Abstract: The issue of fraud, and in particular data compromise, is very topical at the moment. Recent events in Spain involving a major card processor that connects most of the county's automatic teller machine and point of sale networks has acted as yet another wake-up call to everyone in the card issuing, acquiring and processing sector. The fact that an apparently secure network was compromised was considered serious enough for both Visa and MasterCard to release bulletins advising that card issuers should take appropriate action to protect their cardholders' data.

Is there a way to check if the TV/FM Tuner Card has power to it? Everything worked just fine before the Motherboard went bad. After replacing the motherboard the TV and FM Radio do not work. I did look inside the computer and the wires seem to be plugged. The program for the TV and FM comes up just fine but no picture or sound.
Thanks for any help
What caused the MBoard to go bad?
Did you check the Device Manager? Does the system know the card is there?
I do not know what caused the MBoard to go bad. It could have been a power spike. I just don't know.
In Device Manager under "Sound, Video & Controllers" there is a Conexant TVTuner. I double clicked that and a box comes up with info in it. One of the things is "This device is working properly". I don't know if that is it or not.
In response to your response #3, TV tuner cards are touchy to get the software working properly. I suggest you Boot to safe mode and remove all instances of the card. Shutdown and remove the card. Reboot and install the software for the card. Shutdown and install the card and reboot. When Windows finds the new hardware point to the correct drivers. The issue is sometimes Windows wants to install generic drivers. With any Tuner card I have worked with all the driver files must be from the same version of the driver.
Also. make sure the card is set as the default playback device under "Sounds" in Control panel.
If the voices inside my head paid rent, I'd be rich!

U.S. Adopts New Allergy Guidelines
Posted By Allergic Living On 2010/12/06 @ 5:36 pm In Food Allergy | No Comments
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has released the first-ever comprehensive set of guidelines for allergists, general practitioners and emergency physicians with expert recommendations on how to diagnose, treat and manage food allergies, including anaphylaxis.
In a media conference call on December 3, two experts discussed how the need for these guidelines arose out of evidence that not all children and adults are being diagnosed using the same set of protocols.
The guidelines aim to clear up confusion on several issues, such as what medications to use during an anaphylactic reaction. While antihistamines are still often used as the first line of defence, the experts stress that epinephrine should be the first medication administered.
The guidelines discuss the efficacy of different allergy testing such as the skin prick test, blood test and the gold standard: the oral food challenge.
Dr. Hugh Sampson of Mount Sinai's School of Medicine, one of two experts on the media call, stressed that he and other allergists are seeing too many children "who are put on very highly restrictive diets" and then, when tested or challenged, these children are often found not to be allergic.
Sampson explains there has been a lot of confusion between sensitization – meaning a person may produce some IgE allergy antibodies to a food – and clinical reactivity, which indicates a person is truly allergic.
The new guidelines show that diagnosis of food allergy is not just about one skin or blood test but also history of symptoms and in some cases an oral challenge may be done. (This involves having the patient eat the food in question, starting with a tiny amount.)
While the tests carry the risk of anaphylaxis for the patient and are time-consuming for both the doctor and the patient, Dr. Sampson and his colleague Dr. Matthew Fenton of NIAID expressed hope that the guidelines would result in more of these definitive tests. The guidelines, of course, explain the circumstances under which a doctor should be recommending an oral challenge.

Face detection is possible in webOS [OSCON2010] 23
Theoretically, anyway. I just caught a great session covering facial recognition on the iPhone here at OSCON by Alasdair Allen (the author of several O'Reilly titles) that delved into technology such as OpenCV and the in-depth coding methodology behind getting the camera in the iPhone to recognize and distinguish human faces. The technology actually works in a similar fashion to how the human eye detects and differentiates faces: the shadows generated by elevation of the physical features of our face, instead of the features themselves.
Since Palm's PDK allows iPhone developers to port their applications over webOS, and after a brief chat with Alasdiar after his presentation, it appears to be at least theoretically possible that an enterprising developer could utilize the methodology laid out in Allen's presentation and upcoming book and implement face recognition in webOS.
The applications of this technology are vast: Imagine being able to walk into a room, snap a picture of your friends, and have your friends automatically tagged in Facebook for instance. What applications could you see?
Slides from the OSCON presentation can be found here, the author's webpage of related material can be found here, and a video demonstrating how OpenCV works can be found after the break!

Here is your Online Special Olympics gold medal. You're a winner, you are all winners.
Bring this on please - this should help with focus issues.
>>The applications of this technology are vast: Imagine being able to walk into a room, snap a picture of your friends, and have your friends automatically tagged in Facebook for instance. What applications could you see?
Exactly. I see no major benefit. Just another bell & whistle to show off.
This would be pretty cool to have, just of course not automatically posting the pic to fbook, but the option after if u want to submit it to fbook or twitter or email.
Perhaps it could work similarly to how Google's Picasa photo software works in that it auto-detects the faces and then offers them to you for tagging, identification, etc. It may not do the identification but could present the thumbnails for easier tagging. Just a thought.
someone should be able to port the facetime ap for us or make one like it.
no I know it's not related to this topic 'theoretically' but it's still in relation generally speaking.
that and I felt like saying it :)
someone should be able to port the facetime ap for us or make one like it.
I can't view the video on my phone because it's FLASH!
Well if it is facial recognition and not just detection, with a front facing camera it could get rid of passwords to unlock your phone. Just click a button, have it detect your face and boom, your device unlocks.
but then just anyone can hold a picture of you to ur phone and have it unlock, it should recognize something people don't really or shouldn't really have a picture of. You know just whip out ur snatch, call it beaver recognition technology.
that would be kinda creeperish to just waltz into a room and snap a photo of my friends and have them automatically tagged on facebook. Oh I can definitely imagine that, and I'll walk right out too
wow that could so help me. I meet so many people each year that I suck at remembering names. I would do it and be sly and find out who this is and not look stupid again trying to fish someones name from them after we recognized eachother and they keep saying my name but I straight out forgot theirs because well.... I have the attention span of a gnat. Lol
i don't need this or want it.... Can i have FLASH instead ...
I really think there are more fundemental issues that HPalm really need to work out first. I would list them but they are getting old and tired now.
Nice to dream though..
(this was too long, I'll move it to the forums)
This could make sexting a bit difficult...
>"Imagine being able to walk into a room, snap a picture of your friends, and have your friends automatically tagged in Facebook for instance."
I'm sorry, but doesn't that sound rude? I mean, I would be pissed if a friend took my picture and automatically tagged it and posted it to Facebook without asking my permission. I don't understand people's obsession with Facebook... especially to the point of violating other people's privacy.
THe camera on the EVO has face detection already. Late!

Social Security Disability Hearing, Vocational Expert, Judge
I've stated many times on this blog and on Disability Secrets that you should never go to a social security disability hearing alone. If you choose to go without representation at the disability application and reconsideration levels, you may or may not run into any problems on your claim; however, many claimants have no difficulty at these levels.
The hearing is different. In a recent post, I stated why it is that an attorney who is experienced with social security disability and SSI claims would be better prepared than an unrepresented claimant (which all boils down to familiarity with SSA rules and regulations, and expertise in presenting medical evidence and in developing a rationale for approval).
Well, here's another reason why you shouldn't go alone. Sometimes, an ALJ (administrative law judge) will decide to have a VE present at the hearing. What is a VE? This is a vocational expert.
What is the purpose of the vocational expert? There are two possible definitions for this. One is that a vocational expert may be required to advise the judge as to the availability of jobs in the national economy for an individual who has a specific set of functional limitations (based on a reading of the claimant's medical evidence).
The second way to define the purpose of the vocational expert, however, is this: the judge has already developed the opinion that you will be denied on the basis of being able to perform "other work" and would like to have a vocational expert present at the hearing to substantiate this.
How is this justification made? The judge at the disability hearing will typically present a hypothetical scenario to the vocational expert that A. addresses the claimant's current limitations (how much the claimant can lift, how long the claimant can sit or stand, whether or not the claimant can bend, stoop, reach overhead, etc, etc) and B. asks the vocational expert whether or not jobs exist in the "national economy" that a person with such limitations could possibly do.
In other words, the disability judge is fishing for a particular answer that he wants. Not surprisingly, judges often get exactly the answer they want, especially since they are allowed to pick the specific vocational expert they want for their hearings.
It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure out that the entire nature of the vocational expert being present at a hearing can be adversarial to the claimant.
How does a claimant counter the statements issued by a vocational expert? Typically, by knowing enough about the disability system and the vocational aspects of it to either challenge the vocational expert's assertions or to present a counter hypothetical based on some aspect of the claimant's background (medical and/or vocational) that the judge and vocational expert may have somehow missed.
Of course, most claimants will not be able to do this, whereas, experienced and able disability lawyers generally have a fair amount of experience in handling VE's.
It bears repeating: applicants for social security disability and SSI should not go to hearings unrepresented.

Portlandia Behind-the-Scenes: The Dream of the 1890s
During the first season of IFC's hit comedy "Portlandia," the world found out a little secret. That the Dream of the 90s was alive in Portland, Oregon.

That's when the Dream of the 1890s was born. In this video, we go behind-the-scenes of "Portlandia" with the show's stars, creators, writers and director Jonathan Krisel as they talk about the creative process and the inspiration for the new old dream:

Number 35, January 15, 1998
The time is past to debate the merits of "gun control". The last three decades of historical and legal scholarship show beyond any doubt that the Second Amendment means exactly what we've always said it does, and that weapons in private hands give rise to a safe, crime-free society. The only fit subject now is how much of the next three decades Diane Feinstein, Charles Schumer, and their ilk will spend in prison, having maimed our rights and endangered the lives and future of our children.

Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
The Religious Action Center (RAC) is the political and legislative outreach arm of Reform Judaism in the United States. The RAC is operated under the auspices of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, a joint body of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union for Reform Judaism. It was founded in 1961.
Consistent with the political and social concerns of Reform Judaism, the RAC played a key role in important political events of the American civil rights movement, the struggles of Soviet Jewry, as well as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur. It hosted several meetings at which the groundwork for the various pieces of legislation, including the Civil Rights Acts and Voting Rights Acts, were laid. It also shielded civil rights marchers who were attacked by District of Columbia police.
Aside from its community organizing and direct advocacy work, the RAC has also been a hub of social justice programming for the Reform Jewish community. The L'Taken seminar series has given thousands of young Jews the opportunity to visit Washington, DC, and learn about public policy and Jewish values. The RAC also hosted a Passover Seder for the Dalai Lama in the late 1990s.
Rabbi David Saperstein served at RAC from 1974 to 2015, as director and chief legal counsel. In that role he was recognized by Newsweek Magazine in 2009 as "the most influential rabbi in the country."[1] On July 28, 2014, President Obama nominated Saperstein to be the first non-Christian to hold the post of United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom.[2] In December 2014 Saperstein's appointment to the post won U.S. Senate confirmation.[3][4] Saperstein will be replaced at RAC by Rabbi Jonah Pesner. Pesner grew up in New York, and served as a congregational rabbi in Boston. He created "Just Congregations" in 2006, a program that teaches congregations to join in interfaith advocacy for social justice issues. Pesner, who has served as a URJ vice president since 2011.[5] The Washington Post described the director position at RAC as being "the closest thing to being American Jews' lobbyist on mostly non-Israel issues." Those issues have included health care, prison reform, marriage equality and reproductive freedom, while Pesner expects to increase the organization's focus on racial and economic disparities.[6] Pesner will continue to serve as Senior Vice President of the Union for Reform Judaism.[7]
Because RAC's priorities most closely approximate those of the Democratic Party, RAC has at times struggled in an increasingly polarized Washington. Saperstein's close alignment with the Democratic Party at times earned him suspicion of the Republican Party,[8] while Pesner will represent a Jewish community at a time when Gallup polls show Jewish loyalty to the Democratic Party has dropped from 71% in 2008 to 61% in 2014.[9]

LAKE COUNTY, CA — On Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 9:45am, County of Lake Trails Coordinator, Gigi Stahl, will be presenting an update to the Board of Supervisors on the progress of the Konocti Regional Trails Team over the last eight months, as well as the action plans for 2014.
Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) is a collaborative effort between County departments, local, state, and federal entities engaged in recreation and preservation, and local trail user groups of wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, cyclists, dog walkers, equestrians, and kayakers. The group is focused on expanding multi-use recreational opportunities within Lake County and surrounding areas.
The update will include outreach efforts with regional and state agencies, local organizations, and citizens groups to support and/or participate in the effort to build the trails system. It will also include marketing efforts to build the KRT brand, leverage outdoor recreation in Lake County for tourism programs, and expand awareness of existing Lake County trails with potential destination linkages. Lastly, Ms. Stahl will present the prioritized concept trails for 2014, the long-term vision for some trail systems, and introduce the KRT project teams tasked to implement the trail plans, guided by the KRT Master Plan.
The County's trail planning efforts are funded in part from a portion of transient occupancy tax in prior years that was allocated to pathways development.
Lake County residents interested in learning about outdoors recreation and the regional trails system are encouraged to attend.
For more information on the KRT, please visit the Website at
https://sites.google.com/site/konoctitrails/, or contact Gigi Stahl, Lake County Trails Coordinator, (707) 263-2580 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The plus about having a baby right before Christmas is that it left a self-procrastinator like myself, no other option but to get everything ready for Christmas beforehand. So now I'm able to relax and worry just about taking care of my baby. Don't get the wrong picture; I'm definitely not sitting on the couch eating bon bons. I feel like I'm wondering around like a zombie with no sleep and showering is definitely optional these days, but at least the frantic shopping days are behind me.
I fell in love with these cupcakes when I spotted them on Pinterest. Although, there aren't any real instructions, they were inspired from Jenny's Cookies and are fairly self-explanatory. I made these with my son and his preschool friends. They are simple and magical!

March 6, 2009
By Jena Baker McNeill and Diem Nguyen Salmon
On March 4, the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing
on a GAO report related to oversight of 287(g), a program granting
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the ability to train
state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws. GAO
emphasized the need for such increased oversight to better define
the role of ICE and state and local law enforcement.
Additional oversight, however, should be flexible and
implemented in a way that respects the Constitution and existing
laws; recognizes the professionalism, experience, and know-how of
state and local law enforcement; and preserves this highly valuable
Immigration Disarray
Prior to 287(g), ICE and state and local law enforcement
struggled to enforce America's immigration laws. Not only was ICE
overwhelmed, but state and local law enforcement felt nervous about
engaging in enforcement activities based on the false perception
that immigration enforcement was the federal government's duty.
When a state or local law enforcement officer did apprehend an
individual who could not demonstrate legal presence in the U.S.,
the officer would simply notify ICE and wait for them to come and
get the individual. In practice, this meant many illegals went free
and immigration laws were not enforced.
Section 287(g) helps address this problem by letting ICE enter
into agreements with state and local law enforcement, granting them
the ability to access ICE databases and "act in the stead of ICE
agents by processing illegal aliens for removal." Participating
officers go through a background check, attend an extensive
training course, and pass mandatory certifications. The program is
important for the following reasons:
The GAO Report
The GAO report emphasized that ICE had not done enough to
explain the objectives and procedures for the 287(g) program. For
instance, GAO was concerned that ICE officials had not communicated
to participants the main objective of the 287(g) program. The
report proposes that the program's objective should be to only
address serious criminal activity and that officers who check the
immigration status of those committing minor offenses are in
violation of the spirit of the program. But GAO admits that such an
objective is not required in the statute or the legislative
history, and the law does not prevent 287(g) participants from
inquiring into the immigration status of those apprehended for
minor offenses.
The fallacy of the GAO's suggested objective could not be
clearer than in the example of Mohammad Atta. Atta, one of the
September 11 hijackers, was pulled over in a minor traffic stop two
days before the 9/11 attacks. Under GAO's proposed objectives,
because Atta's traffic offense was minor, it would not have
warranted an inquiry into his immigration status. But had the
officer inquired into his immigration status--even though it was
only a minor offense--they would have found he was in the country
illegally and could have prevented his participation in the
attacks, or perhaps prevented 9/11 all together.
The report also cites fears that the program decreases reporting
of crimes (by those fearing questions about their immigration
status) and that an officer could engage in racial profiling.
Undoubtedly, these programs need to be used in a way that
safeguards the liberties and rights of U.S. citizens; however, the
GAO offered no statistics to demonstrate that such potential abuse
was a reality. In fact, 27 out of the 29 participants had
instituted community outreach efforts to ease these concerns--from
newspaper articles to TV spots and public meetings.
Avoiding Micromanagement
The worst outcome of this report would be for Congress and DHS
to micromanage the 287(g) program to the point that it becomes
worthless. Refining may be necessary on certain elements of the
program, but large scale reorganization, massive oversight
mechanisms, or cessation of the program are not necessary.
Consequently, Congress and DHS should:
The 287(g) Program's Valuable Role
Congress should recognize the valuable role 287(g) plays in
keeping America safe, combating illegal immigration, and engaging
state and local governments--and ensure that it and ICE create an
environment that encourages the growth and expansion of 287(g) and
other similar programs.
