Respond to Review of CLOSED: New World Cafe
by Keith_Thode
Review: I wasn't thrilled about the prospect of looking for places to eat in Des Moines. Everything is meat in Des Moines. Recently, however, this place opened, and as luck would have it, it was 6 blocks from where I was spending my time in Des Moines. I managed to get away 3 times to eat here. Their smoothies, baked goods, salads, meal bowls, and sandwiches are all fantastic. They have about 7 items on the menu for the week, and then it changes next week. I wanted to stay just to see what they had next week. If they have a dish or sandwich with their home made "cheese" be sure to try it.

A new memo from the Department of Justice could threaten production of medical marijuana, even in states like California, where cultivation of marijuana for sale to people with medicinal licenses is legal. This seems to be a response to plans among marijuana growers, advocates, and even some city politicians, to create authorized commercial centers of cultivation.
In a letter sent earlier this week to federal prosecutors, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole wrote that the Obama administration, which generally takes a hands-off approach to prosecuting medical marijuana operations, "never intended to shield such activities from federal enforcement action and prosecution, even where those activities purport to comply with state law." The "activities" to which Cole refers are "cultivation of large quantities of marijuana, or broadening the regulation and taxation of the substance."
In other words, this derails localized plans to turn marijuana into a large-scale, privately operated industry, which the city of Oakland in particular had been eyeing. It also does not bode well for large-scale medical marijuana dispensaries. "I would be hearing, 'If you get too big, we may well put a target on your back,'" explained Joe Elford, chief counsel for Americans for Safe Access.
According to a recent report, the legal marijuana business registered $1.7 billion in sales last year. If, as Oakland had planned, cities allowed marijuana to be cultivated on a large scale, the new procedures could mean millions of additional dollars in tax revenue. Jeff Wilcox, an entrepreneur, put the dilemma bluntly: "Oakland is so broke, and Oakland is going to be more broke next year and the year after."
The city of Berkeley was also planning to move to similar operations, albeit on a much smaller scale. Essentially, the city's marijuana-growing collectives would move to industrial facilites, allowing Berkeley officials to control for faulty conditions that could lead to fires, and inspecting the crops to ensure that they're free of pesticides. Now, however, prospects seem to be dim.
The memo is puzzling because, during his campaign, Barack Obama said that the federal government should not prosecute medical marijuana growers and caregivers. Shortly after his inauguration, the justice department issued a memo explaining that this would be the administration's official policy.
Now, the justice department says that it's "clarifying" the previous memo, but in a way that makes it impossible for cities to move forward with commercial cultivation, and may also threaten the large-scale dispensaries that sprang up in the wake of the original policy.
The new guidelines have implications for the handful of states where medical marijuana is legal, and where growing the drug is fraught with legal complications. While it may be logical to assume that since marijuana is legal for medical use in these states, that it should be grown industrially and taxed, the federal government seems determined to make that impossible. Why the Obama administration is cracking down on large-scale pot production is unclear. But the guidelines are sure to create more tensions between state and federal governments on such a potentially lucrative enterprise, as well as threatening the chronically ill people who use marijuana to alleviate pain.

memo to the rest of the world, the federal government that currently is waging a prohibition on drugs, spends millions of dollars on a program they run in co-operation with the U. of Mississippi called the Compassionate IND propgram, that involves the college growing federally funded marijuana that is sued to treat gravely ill patients, many of whom outlived those with the same illnesses who took convential medication.
. I choose not to use marijuana and could certainly use it legally but for those people who do make the choice to use it over pain medication has every right to do it and the Government needs to just mind their own damn business. Maybe they all need to suffer day in and day out like we do, maybe they need to speed their time and money on things that actually matter and would help everyone instead of bothering the ones who just want to be pain free and who are not bothering anyone else. This is stupid, it's a plant, leave these people alone and allow them to live pain free instead of just existing.
I am so sick and tired of the Government sticking their noses where it doesn't belong, clean up their own backyards before walking on ours. Now where it is legal to use and has been voted into law I do not think the Government has ANY RIGHT to try and prosecute and where it has not been voted in I think those states should try harder to make it law.I also have no problem with each STATE taxing the sells of medical marijuana as it would help these states and I am sure people buying it would be more than happy to pay those taxes as long as it remains legal to them. I am totally against street drugs and use to be against Marijuana also but after talking to people and talking to my brother who is in a wheel chair due to being an amputee from diabetes I am totally for this. We talked one day and I asked him why he would do this instead of taking pain pills and he told me that he was on pain pills for so long that it started hurting his stomach everytime he took it and then it started affecting his kidneys and so he tried marijuana and it has no side affects and helps him more than any pain pill ever could. I understood this very well as my abdomen has never closed after a 1999 hysterectomy and I have been on pain pills now for over 12 years and my stomach burns when I take them, my kidneys hurt and lets not forget the addiction one gets to pain meds after taking them for even a short period of time. I choose not to use marijuana and could certainly use it legally but for those pe
For God's sake get the pot out of the war on drugs. It's a plant and it is not addictive, it's a miracle drug for medicinal purposes that many people need for relief. If Congress had any sense at all it would be federally legalized throughout the U.S. and we would not be going through such tough economical times if our states had revenues and taxation for this product.
Oh yes! And everyone here should watch 'The Union'! It's a very well done BC documentary on the craziness of prohibition, and has lots of the history and very interesting facts on marijuana. Someone please get President Obama to watch it, it's a life changing film. Mr. President, stop giving payouts to criminals! The 'War on Drugs' only gives power and money to thugs and gangs and makes dead cops!
Grace, there have been hundreds if not thousands of studies done on the benefits of pot as a medicine. It's one of those rare drugs (because it's all natural) that has absolutely no side effects, not even physical addiction. The range of diseases and disorders that marijuana helps treat is mind boggling, it is a miracle drug. Let's not let this simple plant be controlled by big pharma! Those people do not deserve it. Anyone could grow it, it should be free like any other plant in nature. The people that grow marijuana to sell for medicine have families to support, let's not shut them down and take away their livelihood!
Thanks for the article.
It's POT, for God's sake. Get over it.
thanks for sharing.
I am 51 1/2 yrs. old have adult ADHD that goes untreated as I can't afford the legal medicine prescribed me at $100 a pop, and that was as of 08' it could be higher now. When I was diagnosed on 06', I'd told my doctor openly everything about myself, my diet, my pot usage, etc. he proceeded to tell me that once i became an adult, though I didn't take anything for it as a kid, (I was basically passed along in school and barely graduated with a GED after dropping out for lack of attendence), that we find our own way to self-medicate. He told me from what I'd told him that I started smoking pot at age 19, and discovered Mello Yello at age 21, and did those two consistantly for some 30 years that this was my medicine, which slowed my brain down enough to focus and consentrate better. So why after 74+ years of marijuna prohibition isn't it legal yet. Stop messing with my meds, lets legalize, stop sending peacefull pot smokers to prison/jail and throwing our money away on a LOSING battle in the War on Drugs, shall we?
This next presidential election, lets not vote anyone into office that is not gonna legalize full scale to free up this money that's being wasted to use for programs and whatever else we could use it better for to help people out, rather than adding to our problems with the laws., Let's send a message with our votes, though it may not seem like it, they do notice.

"Wonderful cottage"
If you are looking for 5 star accommodation in a stunning location then this is for you! Bridge Cottage is wonderful place to stay. It has everything you need for a perfect break and the home made flap jacks and fresh flowers on arrival were a welcome surprise. The cottage is warm and cosy and has spectacular views of the Yorkshire Dales. The owners are close by if there are any problems, but were incredibly helpful. Would love to stay again.

Swing, JApplet, and why do I need to resize the window for updates to show?

I've run into something of a stumbling block, no doubt due to the fact that I haven't used Swing in a while.
Anyway, I'm actually writing a small
program, although I've also included a "main" so I can
it from the command line without a browser. Behavior both from within the browser and stand-alone are the same.
The basic premise is that I have a Border layout screen, with the PAGE_START section having a
which contains a
, the CENTER section has a
with JLabels that get added, then the PAGE_END has two buttons, one of which is currently nonfunctional, and the other which is used to add items to the
in the center section.
Program sequence is as follows:
1) Start by initializing variables, and set up the GUI
2) Fill in the items in the middle from a file
3) If the user clicks "Add", get info from the user with a JOption Pane
4) Append the new item to an existing file
5) Add the new item to the item list
Everything works except for step 5. When I add the new item to the list, it won't show unless I resize the window (or in the
form, resize the browser window).
Does anyone know why this is? Is there an extra step I need to take to cause the newly added item to show up immediately without the need for resizing?
Here's the code, in a bit of rough form:
public class Nav extends JApplet implements ActionListener { static JPanel buttonPanel; static JPanel favList; static JPanel favLabelCont; static JButton discButton; static JButton addProfButton; static JLabel favLabel = new JLabel("Favorites"); public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println("Source: " + e.getSource() + "\nAdd: " + addProfButton); if (e.getSource() == addProfButton) { String newDevice = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(this,"Enter device IP"); if ( (newDevice != null) && (newDevice.length() > 0) ) { addToFavorites(newDevice); } } } public void init() { } public void start() { Container c = getContentPane(); c.removeAll(); buttonPanel = new JPanel(); favList = new JPanel(); favLabelCont = new JPanel(); discButton = new JButton("Disc"); addProfButton = new JButton("Add"); setupGUI(c); addExistingFavorites(); } public void addExistingFavorites() { String[] devices = FileUtils.readFavorites(); JLabel tmp; for (int i=0;i<devices.length;i++) { tmp = new JLabel(devices[i]); tmp.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT); favList.add(tmp); } } public void addToFavorites(String device) { JLabel tmp = new JLabel(device); tmp.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT); FileUtils.saveItem(device); favList.add(tmp); } public void setupGUI(Container c) { buttonPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); buttonPanel.add(discButton); buttonPanel.add(addProfButton); favLabelCont.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); favLabelCont.add(favLabel); favList.setLayout(new BoxLayout(favList, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS)); favList.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black)); c.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); c.add(favLabelCont, BorderLayout.PAGE_START); c.add(favList, BorderLayout.CENTER); c.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_END); addProfButton.addActionListener(this); } public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame myFrame = new JFrame(); JPanel myPanel = new JPanel(); discButton = new JButton("Disc"); addProfButton = new JButton("Add"); buttonPanel = new JPanel(); favList = new JPanel(); favLabelCont = new JPanel(); myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); Nav myNav = new Nav(); myNav.setupGUI(myPanel); myNav.addExistingFavorites(); myFrame.add(myPanel); myFrame.pack(); myFrame.setVisible(true); } }

The least disliked episode of TNG - Season Three
View Single Post
July 25 2013, 08:00 AM
Doctor Who Fan Number 318. [Commander]
Location: Wishing for a Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith and David Tennant Doctor Who episode/special. [CmndrSela318]
Re: The least disliked episode of TNG - Season Three
I removed The Survivors cause it's my 2nd least favorite and like I said when I removed it "That episode gives me nightmares about getting a song stuck in my head."
I removed Yesterday's Enterprise for the reason I gave "my least favorite episode of season 3." Plus I felt like Yesterday's Enterprise might be one of the final 3 standing if I didn't remove it.
tomalak301 removed the second one I thought might make it to the final 3--Best Of Both Worlds.
Now I'm gonna remove the last one I think might make it to the final 3.
I hereby remove...wait for it...SAREK.
Now let's see who the final 3 end up being.
The Ensigns of Command
The Enemy
The Defector
Deja Q
The Offspring
Sins of the Father
Hollow Pursuits

World Bulletin / News Desk
People in the areaworst affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident two years ago have a higher risk of developing certain cancers, the World Health Organisation said on Thursday.
A magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, killed nearly 19,000 people and devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, triggering meltdowns, spewing radiation and forcing about 160,000 people to flee their homes.
It was the worst nuclear accident since a reactor exploded at the Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine in 1986.
"A breakdown of data, based on age, gender and proximity to the plant, does show a higher cancer risk for those located in the most contaminated parts," Dr. Maria Neira, WHO director for public health and environment, said in a statement.
In the most contaminated area, the WHO estimated that there was a 70 percent higher risk of females exposed as infants developing thyroid cancer over their lifetime. The thyroid is the most exposed organ as radioactive iodine concentrates there and children are deemed especially vulnerable.
The report estimated that in the most contaminated area there was a 7 percent higher risk of leukaemia in males exposed as infants, and a 6 percent higher risk of breast cancer in females exposed as infants.
The report concluded that for the general population inside Japan, the predicted health risks were low, but that one-third of emergency workers were estimated to have increased risk.
But there was no discernible increase in health risks expected outside Japan, the WHO said in a 200-page report which was based on a comprehensive assessment by international experts.
Jim Smith, Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Portsmouth in England, said: "Apart from emergency workers, the most affected people were those who remained in some highly contaminated towns and villages to the northwest of the power station for up to four months before evacuation.
"The report found that these people received a lifetime radiation dose of up to 50 milli-Sieverts (MSV) and therefore have a significant, but relatively small, additional risk of contracting cancer in later life."
He said the average British person receives more than 150 MSV during their lifetime from background radiation.
He said the report did not yet give data on the numbers of people who received particular radiation doses, so it was not yet possible to estimate the overall health consequences.
Neira said: "The WHO report underlines the need for long-term health monitoring of those who are at high risk, along with the provision of necessary medical follow-up and support services."
Fukushima operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) earlier this month received approval to tap the Japanese government for 697 billion yen ($7.5 billion) to compensate those harmed by the disaster, taking the total fund to 3.24 trillion yen.

The hotel is located in the Old Town and the wall opposite the main door is covered in graffitti but don't be put off. The location is great for the city and the premises are great. Friendly reception staff. good rooms (which are doubleglazed for any sound problems and it has Air con) Breakfast basic but good. Nice garden at the rear. All in all a good choice.
Travel to Vienna is easy with the bus from Novy Most (centre-underneath bridge) for 12 euros return. Good and efficient. Bus station in Vienna is edge of town but right near easy to use and cheap Metro)
One recommended trip is Authenticslovakia.com. They took four of us around the city for over two hours visiting more 'out of the way places' from communist past. Nice young lad who was open to discussing anything about his countries culture, tradititions or lifestyle. They also arranged an airport transfer door to door in a nice Merc for 23 Euros for the four of us.

China's president pushes for virtues
Published: Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
Love, do not harm the motherland.
Serve, don't disserve the people.
Uphold science; don't be ignorant and unenlightened.
Work hard; don't be lazy and hate work.
Be united and help each other; don't gain benefits at the expense of others.
Be honest and trustworthy, not profit-mongering at the expense of your values.
Be disciplined and law-abiding instead of chaotic and lawless.
Know plain living and hard struggle; do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures.
Hu's list of eight do's and don't's was unveiled during the meeting of parliament that ended this week. It aims to douse the excesses of China's 27-year-old economic boom with a bucket of cold virtue.
On Wednesday, the aphorisms were issued on a $1 poster with plain, black Chinese characters above a photo of the Great Wall.
Hu's virtues are blandly apolitical, with none of the radical vigor of founding communist leader Mao Zedong, who declared: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
"Love, do not harm the motherland," says Hu's list. "Uphold science; don't be ignorant and unenlightened."
Hu's virtues add to efforts by communist leaders to assure the public they are fighting corruption and trying to close the gap between an elite who have profited from China's economic reforms and the poor majority.
The list also appears to be a tentative step toward legacy-building for Hu, who is general secretary of the ruling Communist Party and was appointed to the largely ceremonial post of president in 2003.
For centuries, Chinese leaders have tried, usually in vain, to mold public and official behavior with poetic maxims.
"In our socialist society we must not allow the boundaries to be blurred when it comes to right and wrong, evil and kindness, beauty and ugliness," Hu told a March 4 parliamentary seminar, according to the Communist Party newspaper. "What we support, what we resist, what we oppose and what we promote all must be crystal clear." he said, adding that his "socialist concept of honor and disgrace" should be promoted to the masses, especially young people.
But countering lawlessness and greed with phrases extolling plain living is like trying to put the genie of economic reform back in the bottle, says one China watcher.
"The overwhelming majority of Chinese people don't want to go back to the simple life. They want the good life like the people in the cities have," said Merle Goldman of Harvard University, author of the book "From Comrade to Citizen: The Struggle for Political Rights in China."
The official Xinhua News Agency hailed the list as "a perfect amalgamation of traditional Chinese values and modern virtues."
"It shows that the party has become aware that earlier campaigns were not having much of an impact on the youth," said novelist Zhang Kangkang, a delegate to parliament's main noncommunist advisory body, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
"They have chosen to use very neutral language, very apolitical language, to get the message across," she said. "It's very populist, very middle-of-the-road."
The 2,280-member consultative conference - a gathering of businesspeople, religious leaders and others - closed its annual session Monday with a resolution praising Hu's list of virtues and pledging to "make it part of social norms."
The list is displayed on a poster that lacks the visual impact of revolutionary-era propaganda, which featured stark woodblock prints and vivid paintings of joyous peasants that have become collector's items.
Some welcome Hu's language and its echoes of temperate, pre-revolutionary Chinese philosophers.
"From Deng Xiaoping's saying that 'white cat, black cat' stuff to now, we have totally lost our sense of morality. It's been 20 years since we threw our morality out the window," said Sheri Liao, an environmental activist and former philosophy teacher.
Deng, then the supreme leader, launched China's economic reforms with the pragmatic declaration: "It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white; it is a good cat as long as it catches mice."
"My personal opinion is that it's a very good thing," Liao said of Hu's value system. "The Chinese Communist Party is starting to take an interest in and adopt a friendly attitude to traditional culture and values."

Memphis Tigers A Possible Cinderella in the NCAA Tournament
The Memphis Tigers may not be your typical mid-major Cinderella, but if they did make a deep run in this year's NCAA tournament, they would certainly be considered a Cinderella. Don't mind the fact that they are ranked as high as No. 20 at the moment.
Memphis has not gotten a whole lot of press this year, but the Tigers are a very good team that can go deep in this year's dance.
The Tigers may have not taken care of business against VCU, Minnesota, Louisville or Xavier this year, losing all four of those games, but Memphis competed in all of them. Not to mention, the Tigers did beat Tennessee at Tennessee this year.
Memphis has cruised through their conference, winning every single game (16-0).
Highlights on the season were victories against Tennessee, Ohio, Harvard and Southern Miss (twice). Those may not be the biggest wins in the world, but they have helped the Tigers compile a record of 27-4 on the season.
Memphis has only lost one game in its last 22 games. I don't care what conference you are in, that is very impressive. That one loss was actually recent against Xavier, however, that game was played on the road for the Tigers and they only lost by two points.
This may not be one of the John Calipari coached Memphis teams of the past, but it is a very good one that can really go on a deep Cinderella run this year. The Tigers are ranked in both of the major polls, but they are still being predicted to be around a No. 8 seed. That is where ESPN Joe Lunardi has them right now.

Dealing with Project Downsizingby
You may have noticed that the economy has been a little shaky lately. How do you manage when your project is impacted?
You may have noticed that the economy has been a little shaky lately. How do you manage when your project is impacted?
In the previous installment, we reviewed five effective leadership behavior questions. This article provides a set of technical project management questions that assess the candidate's knowledge of project management tools and techniques.
The market for PM specialties has been strong for several years, but even the PM job market will feel the effects of this shaky rollercoaster economy. Find out more as our two-part article concludes.
There is an ebb and flow to market and product cycles. Having inadequate staff for the demands of your organization, however, means you must make adjustments elsewhere to help take the heat off of personnel.

Fresh out from Barcelona

After deciding to have an early night last night and going to sleep at 3:30am we woke up early but not quite as early as we'd hoped. Anyway, we got ready for the day and jumped on the metro and then a train to Mount Montserrat which has the most breath taking view I've ever seen in my life. It also has something called "The stairway to heaven" which is a heap of cement block stacked on each other and the land drops straight off at the ...

On the set of "The Knick"; Swedish cinema gives women a bigger role; When Amazon dies; Stories of "Star Wars" extras; Chatting with Abi Morgan.
"Serial Mom" has as its central joke (and a very long-running joke it is) that Beverly Sutphin, a cheerful Baltimore housewife who makes terrific meatloaf, is a serial killer. The movie thinks it is funny to contrast this with the idealized homelife she provides (or thinks she provides) for her family, which seems to have been cloned from "Ozzie and Harriet" and other idealized nuclear units.
I am not sure why this isn't very funny, but it's not. The laughs in the movie come not from the killings or even from the mom's secret identity, but from the details of everyday life which John Waters, the writer and director, skewers with such great affection.
There is even something about the way he shows sunlight bathing a breakfast table that's amusing; his Sutphins look like they live in a cereal commercial. He has the look and feel of their middle-American neighborhood just right, but the movie's comic premise doesn't go anywhere with it.
Beverly, the Serial Mom, is played by Kathleen Turner, a brave actress who has ventured here where several other actresses reportedly feared to tread. One thing I like about Turner is her willingness to tackle unlikely roles; her agent probably warned her against Danny DeVito's "War of the Roses," for example, but she and the equally fearless Michael Douglas took that exercise in matrimonial bloodshed and made it ghoulishly effective.
In "Serial Mom," though, it's not so much that Turner's performance doesn't succeed, as that there's something sad about it that works against the humor. All serial killers are insane (at least I hope so). But in a comedy they need to extract some sort of zeal and manic joy from their atrocities; they have to give the audience permission, for the time being, to suspend the ordinary rules of good conduct.
In the slasher movies, the humor comes because the killers are seen as the victims of their programming, repeating the same obsessive behavior over and over again; we laugh because we see their mistake. In the classic horror films, we're amused because the evil is so stylized we can't take it seriously; Vincent Price licks his lips and rolls his eyes and intones his pseudo-Shakespearean imprecations, and his behavior takes the edge off his actions.
Watch "Serial Mom" closely, however, and you'll realize that something is miscalculated at a fundamental level. Turner's character is helpless and unwitting in a way that makes us feel almost sorry for her - and that undermines the humor. She isn't funny crazy, she's sick crazy. The movie shows her triggered by passing remarks (a garbage man says "somebody ought to kill" a neighbor woman who refuses to recycle). She gets a weird light in her eyes that I guess we're supposed to laugh at, but, gee, it's kind of pathetic the way she goes into murderous action. Like "Clifford," this is a movie where the comedy doesn't work because at some underlying level the material generates emotions we feel uneasy about.
John Waters has, of course, been over some of this ground before; many of his films show a surface of inane suburban normality, pierced by the secret depravities of his inhabitants. After his early X-rated weirdo extravaganzas starring Divine, he scaled back to PG-land for "Hairspray" (1988) and "Cry Baby" (1990), invocations of the early 1960s and mid-1950s. Both films, like "Serial Mom," depend for a lot of their humor on his memories of a time when people seriously believed that cheese could come in cans.
His cast this time includes Ricki Lake (whom he discovered in "Hairspray") as Misty Sutphin, the boy-crazy daughter who eventually begins to twig that something is wrong with mom; Sam Waterston as Beverly's unobservant husband, and Matthew Lillard as Chip, the brother whose bad grades at school inspire his mom to run down one of his teachers with her car. And, yes, that's Patricia Hearst in the jury box during Beverly's eventual trial (she inspires Beverly to write an urgent note to her attorney: "Juror Number 8 is wearing white shoes after Labor Day!") The movie has some fun with how the family deals with their mother's serial murders (Misty sells T-shirts outside the courthouse), and of course Waters works in some movie parodies (although when Kathleen Turner spreads her legs in court in homage to Sharon Stone, it's more awkward and uncomfortable than funny).
The more I think about this film, the more interested I am in why it doesn't work. The crucial problem is that since we feel some sympathy for the Kathleen Turner character, we can't laugh at her. But underneath that, somehow, is Waters' own essential niceness.
He may have directed some of the most shocking and scatological films of our time, but at some level he always expresses a tenderness for his characters, and in "Serial Mom" he is simply not able to be cruel enough to Beverly Sutphin to make her available for our laughter.
Waters seems typecast as the author of shocking suburban melodramas, but I suspect that trapped inside of him is the soul of an entirely different kind of storyteller.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Google Now for iOS allegedly demoed in 'leaked' promotional video
By AppleInsider Staff
Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 03:33 pm PT (06:33 pm ET)
Spotted by Engadget, the low-resolution promo, which teased Google Now for iPhone and iPad, was reportedly posted to YouTube earlier today, only to be pulled minutes later.
In the short clip, the narrator describes a number of predictive features offered by the service which first launched on Android handsets in 2012, including real time navigation rerouting, air travel updates and sports scores.
It should be noted that the authenticity of the video has not been confirmed, though the overall style and narration fit with Google's previous ads touting the Google Now for Android product.

Yes please....looks very nice.
Fixed that for you.
Keep that tin foil hat tight.
It will be sweet to get this on iOS. Has to be another kick in the nuts to Android users though.
Live updates can be far more useful than getting stuck in a search, read, search, read loop. I know. The OneBusAway app on my iPhone gives constant updates of Seattle bus arrivals. This could be that for All Sorts of Things.
I have my doubts about live traffic updates though. If too many people use the feature, that quickest route can quickly become a parking lot.
Why would you buy an iPhone in that case?

Ideally the live traffic would continuously change to always show the quickest route, once the old quickest route isn't anymore. Google Now really intrigues me, and Google in general is doing a lot of great things. Yes, they use my information to sell ads, but it is anonymized, and there is no reason to believe they aren't extremely protective and responsible with that data. I get great services that help me in my everyday life, they make a couple bucks (just like any company is trying to). Sounds like everyone wins
i am google-free on my iPhone & iPad, and only�use Youtube on my MBA.
I use Yahoo or Duck Duck Go as my search engine. Any tie-in with google are out of my control, so don't bother bringing them up.
I don't use gmail (that spam driving piece of turd), nor do i have any google accounts.
I am FREE and it feels fantastic.
Join me, and you too will realise that google is not needed.
This is where I scratch my head when Tim Cook says Apple isn't a hardware company. �If Apple really wasn't a hardware comapny Siri would be doing what Google Now does, and maybe even doing it better. �What great improvements did we get in software last year? �iTunes is still a bloated monster. Apps like numbers, pages and keynote haven't been updated in ages. �Many would argue that Google �apps like maps and gmail are superior to their Apple counterparts. �I really hope Apple kills it with software this year. �An iOS 6 like update I fear isn't enough.
Not really.� I'm glad Apple users can get the same goodies Android users get so they can choose if they want to use them or not.� Freedom and choice are good regardless of what kind of phone you use.

There are, in fact, many reasons to believe Google isn't "extremely protective and responsible" with your information.
Google's mission statement is: "Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." While Google's mission statement alone isn't troublesome, Google's collection of personal information is quite troublesome because Google's business model is the aggregation of user's personal information in order to target advertising to users. As a result of their policies and associated products and services, Google has far more personal information about users than governments or other businesses have about consumers.
* Google gathers details of how you used their services, such as your search queries (1)
* Google tracks cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Google Account (1)
* Google collects telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls (1)
* Google logs device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL (1)
* Google collects device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number) Google may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Google Account (1)
While such information is gathered by competing products and services, Google's vast range of "products and services" uniquely positions Google to collect more information about consumers than any other company. The problem with Google's vast network of information gathering is that Google has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of concern for consumers through their policies and practices. Furthermore, Google has consistently used very expedient methods to comply with or meet demands whether those of stockholders or governments. The vast amount of information collected by Google has arguably made Google the greatest threat to privacy ever known, a vast unsecured treasure trove of information that attracts hackers and online thieves, and; most worrisome; governments.
* Google has done very little to protect Android users from malware. Considering that many people have significant amounts of personal information on their mobile devices, I find this completely unacceptable.
* According to Sunnyvale, Calif., security firm Juniper Networks known instances of Android-related malware -- "virtually all" involving apps - have jumped steadily month by month from 400 in June 2011 to 15,507 in February 2012 (2)
* "San Francisco-based Lookout Mobile Security reported In August 2011, that "an estimated half-million to one million people were affected by Android malware in the first half of 2011." (2)
* Trend Micro of Japan, which has U.S. headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. - identified "more than 1,000 malicious Android apps" last year, 90 percent of them on Google's site and noted that the number of bad apps grew last year at 60 percent per month. Trend Micro has estimated the total this year "will grow to more than 120,000," (2)
* Google proclaims that "Since the beginning, we've focused on providing the best user experience possible. Whether we're designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line." (3) This is in direct conflict with Google's business model which serves advertisers and is a serious, undisclosed conflict of interest.
* Google removed links to an anti-Scientology site after the Church of Scientology claimed copyright infringement in 2002. (4)
* Google handed over the records of some users of its social-networking service, Orkut, to the Brazilian government, which was investigating alleged racist, homophobic, and pornographic content in September 2006. (4)
* Google's mission statement "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" didn't stop Google from censoring their Chinese search engine to gain access to a lucrative market. (4)
* Privacy International has named Google the worst company in their 2007 survey and "hostile to privacy." (5)
* Google has used their dominant position with Google Search to prefer Google+ search results and has published results that include personal data which doesn't provide an opt-out option. (6)
* Google employees have vandalized OpenStreetMap by adding erroneous data. (7)
* Google collected emails, texts, photos and documents gathered from Wi-Fi networks using Google's StreetView cars to collect data. (8)
* Google regularly provides information to governments including the United States government about users without providing full disclosure. (9)
