[Learn - The How To series from Adobe] [video2brain - World-Class Training] Sharing design folios is a really important part of the DPS workflow. If I take a look at the Folio Builder panel, you can see a couple of folios here have an icon that looks like a couple of people. These folios are being shared, and one of the interesting things is I'm sharing this web content folio with somebody. You can see that I'm the owner, and up here at the top the thing called Best is being shared with me by somebody else. We're going to take a look at how to share and what sharing means for the DPS workflow. The way you share a folio is select it and then use the flyout menu here and choose Share. You then fill in the email address for the person you want to share this with and you might add a subject line to this and then add a message. The interesting thing about sharing a folio is what we're doing is making the information about my folio available to another user. So once I click Share, a piece of email is generated with information about how to access that shared folio. You might notice now there's a new sharing icon on the Folio Builder Intro folio. So that indicates that this is being shared, and it shows me with 1 user right now. If we take a look at a folio which is being shared with me, I'm going to go into the Best folio and I can see that there is 1 article in here. You might notice that the article name is gray, it's not black, and this is a visual indication saying that this is something that I don't have the rights to change. But if I select this article, I can preview it. The nice thing here is somebody else is sharing their work with me and I can now see what the work is. Since I'm working at the Folio Builder level, if this has both a vertical and horizontal layout, I can switch back and forth between them and see the 2 layouts. And if there was any interactivity in this folio, I would be able to work with the interactivity. I'm going to go ahead and close that viewer, and let's come on back to the Folio Builder. If this folio which has been shared with me had more than 1 article, I would see each of the articles. Now let's go back up to the top of the folios area. One thing to note about a shared folio is while you can share it, as of today I cannot unshare. This is surely going to be fixed, and I look forward to the point where I'll be able to control whether or not somebody still has access to the content. The folio called Best is currently being shared with me. If I delete this and I remove it, let's go take a peek at what the other person sees. I'm going to quickly sign out and I'm going to sign in with that other name, and now we're going to see the Folio Builder from that other person's point of view. It's a little funny because I'm sharing folios with myself, but you remember I deleted the Best folio from the first user. Now we're looking at the user who owns it and who shared it. Because the person who received the share deleted, they only lose the view of it, but the original is still here. So when I click on Best and go into it, not only can I see the article that was there, but notice the label for the article is black, not gray, and that's because this user owns the file. So if somebody is sharing something with you, feel free to delete it if you don't want to look at it anymore, and it's still going to be out there for everybody else. So those are the basics of sharing, and it's important to consider that this is the basis of contributing content to somebody else's production folio. If I was building an ad that I wanted to put into somebody else's DPS publication, I would build a design folio and then share it with them. They then can access and pull my ad out of my folio and add it to their production piece. So that's the core of sharing.

From Livestream » User Guide
Q: What is the Livestream beta program?
Our beta program gives us the opportunity to test our software with real users, while hopefully catching and eliminating major bugs before the full release of the product. We'll be gathering feedback from experienced producers and knowledgeable viewers alike to make sure the software is as easy to use as possible. The beta program also gives us the chance to build our network capacity as we further develop our infrastructure.
Q: Do I have to be an experienced editor or videographer to create my own Livestream channel?
Nope. Livestream is breakthrough technology designed for simple, casual use. All you'll need is the desire to communicate, inform, and entertain. If you can use blog publishing platforms like Blogger and Wordpress, you won't have any problems using the Livestream Studio.
Q: What do you guys mean when you call Livestream "Live" Broadcasting?
When we say live, we really mean "live"! Just like you'd see on broadcast television. Our unique, patent pending technology allows Livestream to virtually eliminate the now infamous 20-second delay common in the live streaming process. With Livestream, the viewer experiences what the producer has put on the air in less than one second. Basically, everyone watching your channel can see exactly the same thing you see as you produce it. Think of the possibilities: you can use your web cam to cover a "live" news or sports event as it happens, you can spontaneously introduce and play back prepared clips, or switch back to your web cam commentary with ease.
Q: Can I embed my channel in other websites?
We have updated the Livestream site with the ability for anybody to pick up your channel embed tag and add it to any internet web page. So, while we remain in closed beta, you can already start broadcasting your channel to the world by embedding the Livestream Player widget on any web page. Your viewers can see your channel on your blog, myspace, or personal website without any restrictions. You just need to copy the embed tag under the watch page in your channel and paste in the HTML to your other sites.
You can also add the player to your Facebook profile (and have your friends add it to theirs). Click the Add this channel to my facebook profile button and follow the instructions. For details on the many ways to embed Livestream channels on the Web, go to the topic Tell your friends.
Q: When will you get of Beta and launch the official version?
Livestream is currently in beta version. This means we are currently in the process of testing the website with your help. So, we need your feedback! We're planning a full public launch very soon, where anyone will be able to view, produce and embed their channels with total creative freedom.
Q: How much bandwidth do I need to produce content in the Livestream studio?
For your production needs, we recommend a minimum of 500 Kbps. If you plan to use your webcam to broadcast live, we suggest at least 400 Kbps upload bandwidth. You can use this speed test to test your bandwidth (or use any other popular bandwidth tester).
Q: Can my friends and I really mix content in real-time?
Absolutely. The Livestream studio is the ultimate collaborative multi-user application. Go ahead and try it: ask your friends to join your team and log in together. You'll see each other's web cams and you can search together, mix together and take turns with live broadcasts from your webcams.
Q: Where do I get the content for my channel?
You can gather content from video-on-demand web sites such as YouTube. Most videos on these sites include a license for rebroadcast. (However, some content may have been loaded without permission from the content owner and may not be copyright cleared. Be very careful: if you have doubts about the origin of some content, don't use it.)
Any content that was produced by people you invited to participate on your channel is clear for you to broadcast. You also have a default license to use and rebroadcast their image. These are conditions that all Livestream users must agree to, as outlined in the terms and conditions of use.
Q: Do I need to worry about copyright issues?
In addition to your own original programming, you can also use existing copyright-free content on your broadcast. It is your responsibility to make sure the content you broadcast contains no copyright infringements. Livestream will shut down any account that is reported to be breaching content copyrights.
Q: How is Livestream different from YouTube, Metacafe and the other sites?
These sites enable you to post or watch video-on-demand clips. However, you must edit video clips using your own equipment before uploading them as a finished product to these sites. Unlike Livestream, these sites don't provide the capability to mix live, or to broadcast a 24/7 live channel in real time. As a complimentary service, we integrate these sites into our interface as content sources.
Q: Does Livestream work on Mac OS X?
You bet - we'd be crazy if it didn't.
Q: Does Livestream work on Windows?
Again - we'd be crazy if it didn't.
Q: Does Livestream work on Linux?
We are in the process of testing Livestream for Linux users. If you happen to be a Linux user, feel free to apply for the beta
Q: What's the best format to use when uploading high video quality?
We recommend using .mov (Quicktime) or .wmv (Windows Media) with MPEG4 or H264 compression. The video should also have at least 320x240 resolution.
Q: What is the maximum number of viewers who can watch my channel?
Currently, we have tried it with up to 3000 viewers but the limit should be much higher!
Q: How do I remove the viewer count icon from my Livestream player?
To get rid of the viewer count on your embedded Livestream player, uncheck the Show viewers check box in the Get player page and embed the resulting scripts.
Or, if you've already embeded the code, you can modify the embed tag to include the parameter "showviewers=false". For example:
<script src="http://www.Livestream.com/scripts/player.js?channel=mogulusoffice &bgcolor=0xffffff&color=0x999999&showviewers=false&width=454&height= 389&on=true" type="text/javascript"></script>
Unfortunately, the viewer count cannot be removed from the Player on the Livestream website.
Q: I have forgotten my password. How do I log back into the site?
Just click the "Forgot your password?" link on the Livestream Studio login page and enter your username and email address. We will send you a temporary password you can use to log in. Once you are back in, you will be able to change the interim password using the "change password" option.
Q: How do I remove a clip from my storyboard?
Just click on the "x" at the top right corner of the clip. Sometimes, the "x" icon is not immediately visible, particularly if a clip has a light colored background. We are working on a solution for this problem, but we recommend just guessing the position of the "x", since the position is always the same.
Q: How do I remove the "Congratulations For Launching Your Channel" phrase that goes across the bottom of my channel's screen?
To remove or change this phrase, click on the Broadcast Live tab located at the top right corner of the Livestream studio window. Then, click on the Ticker tab, located at the bottom right of the window. Overwrite the old text with some new text related to your channel. When you click the Show tab, and you'll see your new text scrolling in your channel.
Q: How do I delete a channel I no longer need?
Users are not able to manually delete their own channels. If you wish to delete one of your channels, contact the Livestream team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: How do I connect a camera, other than a webcam?
Livestream enables you to work with a large panel of inputs. Choose your camera input by right-clicking over the Broadcast Live page and selecting Settings from the menu.
Be sure that you select "Allow camera" and not "Deny".
Then go to the camera tab and make sure you picked the right input among the options presented.
You can try each to find which input corresponds to your computer. To see if it works, click for a preview in the blue square where the camera icon is located.
Q: How can I broadcast to people with a low bandwidth connection?
We designed Livestream especially to enable our producers to broadcast worldwide, to anybody with a decent computer and connection.
If your viewers have a very low connection and you are streaming live from your camera, try going to Settings located next to your camera preview on the left side of the Broadcast live screen, and reduce your image quality to "low". For pre-recorded content, we suggest you use low-byte-rated video clips.
Q: How can I delete my logo if I don't want to keep it?
You can choose to hide or show your logo by one simple click. In the Broadcast Live tab, click on Branding tab in the lower right corner. Then choose to show or hide your bug.
Q: Can I connect external sources to my studio (like DVD's, video mixers,...) and use them as a source to broadcast live instead of the webcam?
Yes, you can! You can use encoding devices such as Dazzle who appear as cameras inside your Livestream Studio when installed. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Dazzle/?dz=1
Q: Can I broadcast a phone line live?
We do not provide simple live audio streaming, however, one of our dear producers Moohead (http://www.Livestream.com/mooheadradio) has a radio show and has given us his recipe for sound streaming:
Here is the entire audio chain:
Behringer B-1 Mic plugged via XLR connector to a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro Mixer. Mixer Tape Out to line in of desktop (this is for the audio stream and audio archive of the show)
Phone Calls: We use a Comrex Stac 6 phone interface mated with 2 Vonage IP phone lines plus a transparent 877 number from Vonage. This allows our viewers to call in toll free! We use a standard handset phone that hooks into the Stac 6 handset hardware. I answer calls as the lines light up. The Stac 6 controls caller levels.
Studio cohost: We use 2 Comrex Access units. These devices connect my co-host and I together through the internet WITHOUT TYING UP A PHONE LINE! The Comrex Access connects to a static IP port in my cable modem. Even though we are 2000 miles apart, we sound like we are in the studio together. The Comrex Access utilizes low latency audio codecs so we have virtually no lag, as well as high fidelity. This is important because it enables us to send one high quality audio signal to the Livestream studio, containing both of us, as well as our phone callers.
Livestream Studio: Next we run from the Main Out of our Mackie Console to the Line In of a laptop that is ethernet connected to my cable modem. We have a 15Mbps download, 2Mbps upload broadband connection. This sends all of our show audio to the Livestream Studio, so everyone can be heard. Finally, we connect the laptop USB out to our Mackie Channel strip, using a USB sound card. This enables viewers to hear all audio from the videos we pull from the internet and create ourselves. All we do is "un-mute" the channel whenever we run a video that originates from the Livestream Studio.
Video: I use a Canon GL1 3 CCD camera plugged into the laptop via firewire. This camera can be manually adjusted for low light performance. My co-host uses a standard high end webcam!
The end result is a program with sound quality that equals FM radio at its best.
Q: What about the format of my logo?
Your logo should be a still logo, in .jpeg, .gif, or .png. It should not exceed 120 pixels.
Q: I didn't receive a confirmation mail after signing up. What should I do?
A confirmation mail is sent to you automatically as soon as you finish signing up. If you don't receive it right away, this could be the reason:
-You typed a typo in your mail address while signing up.
-The confirmation mail ended up in your spam. Please make sure your spam filter enables email@example.com to reach your inbox.
For further help, send a message to Livestream using the feedback tool.
Q: I can't get past the first step when configuring my channel. What did I do wrong?
If you are configuring your channel for the first time, you should enter all required information. Missing or incorrect information will be outlined in red.
Check the:
- Mandatory fields:
Mandatory fields are noted with an asterisk. You should select each of them to enable you to go to the next step.
- Description:
The description of your channel shouldn't be longer than 500 characters. If trespassing, the field will be outlined in red.
Q: How do I change my password?
If you want to change your password, go inside the studio and click on the owner tab in the upper right corner of the Livestream studio.
A window with all the details about your profile will pop up and allow you to make changes.
Click on 'change password' and enter your new password.
Note: your password should be at least 6 characters (numbers/letters) long!
Q: Can I put the Livestream player on a Facebook Page?
Livestream currently only provides you with a widget embeddable on Facebook profiles. However, that might be extended to Facebook pages soon!
Q: I forgot my username? What should I do?
Send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com from the email address you used to sign up to Livestream. We'll find it for you.
Q: Can I watch Livestream on a Mobile Device?
Livestream is Flash based. The current desktop version of the Flash player (9,0,115,0) is not compatible with the mobile version of Flash. Let's hope this changes soon!
Q: What does the 'play as one' means on the clip tabs?
Play as One is useful for the VOD feature. It enables you to play the bundled clips as one sequence. Viewers will not have access to the clips separately. So, for example, if you have a show or storyboard containing five clips, each about 2 minutes, it will appear in the VOD library on your player as a sequence of 10 minutes.
Q: How do I moderate the chat?
We are working on a chat moderation feature that is to be released soon! It will enable you to kick/ban users and to clear chat history. Thank you for your patience!
Q: My video failed encoding, what can I do?
We recently added a re-Import function which will allow you to re-import and re-encode the video without the need to search for it again. This can be found on the clip tab to the right of the download feature.

Looks great! Backed!
I guess we also have some fans of good old Master of Orion 2, Ascendancy and other 4x classic space games here.
Then M.O.R.E. might be interesting. I stumbled upon this Kickstarter project some time ago and it looks really promising, so I decided to back it. I hope it gets funded. The recent 4x space games were rather disappointing.
I got MoO and MoO2 from GOG.com and I had several games, it's still a blast. Sending colony ships, arming them with 1 lazer canon... it never gets old.
Hmm, MORE is from Poland, I didn't know Kickstarter has started allowing non-US companies to "kickstart".

Q: What License Do I Need Handyman Dba? I am a handyman carpenter/the main services I offer include home repair inside and out/home improvement projects that result in modernization or efficiency inside and out/any and all minor fixes to every room of your home - I am a handyman
I work from my home i have a buisness license and ein number/Handyman, home repairs and remodeling, painting, flooring, fencing remodel homes inside and out plumbing,tile,wood floor,kitchen cabinets,bathroomand landscaping plumbing, small home repairs.
What's The Price To Get A Handyman Lincense?
A: Starting a Handyman Business
If you do just a few jobs per year, you just need a business license.
However, if you are a business handyman, you may also need a seller's permit to buy the construction materials wholesale, i.e., without paying taxes on the purchases.
In addition, if you will use a trade name to go by… for example, "Fix it Handyman Services," you will need to register a fictitious business name certificate.
You can obtain all of the above here online on this site.
Handyman licenses: To avoid doing the legal research, simply search on this site or finish reading this short article to find out what is required to be a legal handyman business.
If you are a handyman that does minor repairs to toilets, A/C units, replacng switches, organizing or cleaning our garages, basic home repairs such as handyman services to repair dry wall, paint, replace molding, replace existing electric switches, outlets, hang lighting, fans with electric boxes in place with electric lines in place, replace broken doors or doors that wont close or window repairs, replace broken or rotten siding repair, work mobile door to door, home based.
Also, handywork such as fixing leaky toilets facets shower heads, caulk,repair, sand, paint most any surface, and fix broken deck boards and railings, small pluming repairs such as leaking toilets,facets, shower heads, caulk and repair, sand and paint most any surface .
First, you will need at least a handyman business license.
Some states may require you to have a contractor's or subcontractor's state license to provide handyman services but that is the minority of the states.
In the state of Utah, as well as in other states, a contractor's license is not required for a handyman business that performs tasks not more than $1,000.00.
If you want bigger jobs, you may have to take contractor's license test that requires a proficiency exam to determine the construction related skills applied in your handyman projects.
If you do any type of plumbing and or electrical work, you may need to have a certificate from a school in order to be qualified.
Some states like California require you to take a proficiency test after packing 4 or 5 years of experience in construction at the level of journeyman or foreman.
To apply for a contractor's license, you will need an ID, and perhaps, depending on the state or county you will operate fingerprints.
However, the most important thing in starting a handyman business for doing small jobs is getting a business license and perhaps a seller's permit.
A seller's permit certificate will allow you to buy your construction materials wholesale. So for example, you buy 10 bugs of concrete from Home depot.
The price will be about $100 plus taxes and you will have to pay about $108.
However, after becoming a handyman contractor and you sign up as such, you will be able to buy wholesale and save about $20 which is about 20% of your purchase.
Apply here online and that will start the process.
More about handyman business
Once you have some clients lined up to do some handyman work, then, obtain your handyman business license and you are ready to do business, though note that you can get a license even before you start any business.
Note also that you do not need a bond unless you do any major structural work.
If you hire handyman employees, you will need two EINs Employer ID Numbers: One Federal Tax iD Number and one State Employer Tax ID Number.
Also, keep in mind that if you get busy, you will need a lot materials.
For example, someone hires you do do plumbing work or construction repair, keep in mind, you will need to buy the materials and pay tax.
If so, you can obtain a handyman sellers permit to buy these tax free, i.e., without paying taxes since you will buy wholesale.
Finally, if you will name the business with a business name such as Best Handyman
Company, or something similar, you will need to register the name with a DBA Doing Business As AKA assumed or fictitious business name certificate.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the handyman / construction industry is one of the largest businesses in the United States.
If you are a handyman that does minor repairs to toilets, A/C units, replacng switches, organizing or cleaning our garages, basic home repairs such as handyman services to repair dry wall, paint, replace molding, replace existing electric switches, outlets, hang lighting, fans with electric boxes in place with electric lines in place, replace broken doors or doors that wont close or window repairs, replace broken or rotten siding repair, work mobile door to door, remodel homes inside and out plumbing,tile,wood floor,kitchen cabinets,bathroom home based.
Also, handywork such as fixing leaky toilets facets shower heads, caulk,repair, sand, paint most any surface, and fix broken deck boards and railings, small pluming repairs such as leaking toilets,facets, shower heads, caulk and repair, sand and paint most any surface .
It employs 1.8 million self-employed and unpaid family workers.
It does not always concern heavy construction work because 64 percent of these construction handyman jobs fall in the specialty trade contractors sector, including plumbing, heating and air conditioning, electrical, and masonry.
Despite the hard economic times, the construction industry (in all its forms including handyman work) still offers more business opportunities than many other industries.
Of course, it takes much more than handyman skills to become a skilled construction professional handyman and business owner.
To get into the handyman business, first consider making your business legal is the right way to do it.
When have all the licenses and tax registrations required, you will have the time and peace of mind required to provide an exceptional handyman service, which is required to obtain clients by word of mouth.
Handyman or handy man work is perhaps hard work, however, it is also technical since you need to know a lot of different skills to be one.
Then, you need to find some way to get client by using some advertising.
Door to door flyers work well but there others.

Mark G. Kris, M.D., FCRH '73, spoke about the use of IBM's artificial intelligence computer Watson to help treat cancer pateints.

November 7, 2013
You might let Watson, the supercomputer that defeated
champion Ken Jennings, to be your proxy on a trivia game show. But would you allow it to treat your cancer?
For Mark G. Kris, M.D., FCRH '73, the answer is a resounding "Yes."
Dr. Kris, an attending physician in the thoracic oncology service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center and the William and Joy Ruane Chair in Thoracic Oncology, was the featured speaker at
Fordham University Science Council
's fall lecture on Nov. 6.
In his talk, Dr. Kris described how oncologists at MSK are using Watson, the artificially intelligent (AI) computer designed by IBM.
"The amount of information that has become available in medicine is extraordinary. But there's no way that one physician can access all of that information to help a patient," said Dr. Kris, the lead physician in the MSK-IBM Watson Collaboration.
"Computers take on that problem by tapping into all of that knowledge and using it to assist doctors in decision-making."
The equivalent of 6,000 high-end home computers, Watson is a data reservoir, containing entire encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, news articles, sacred texts, literary works, and more. But what distinguishes Watson from other computers is its abilities to understand language and to learn—the "holy grail" of AI.
Watson's software contains algorithms that work together to discern the complexity and nuances of human language, including double meanings of words, puns, metaphors, rhymes, and inferred hints. The computer can also employ evidence-based learning by noting when it solves a problem correctly and applying this understanding later.
Besides dethroning Ken Jennings, Watson computers are being put to work in a number of fields. In healthcare, physicians use the supercomputer to choose treatments for cancer patients.
Before even meeting a patient in person, an oncologist will enter the patient's medical history and relevant information into Watson. The computer applies this information to its vast database of medical textbooks, scholarly journals, and treatment outcomes in previous cases to offer a list of possible of treatments, ranked according to Watson's confidence in the answer.
"Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom," Dr. Kris said. "But what Watson does is give you a list of possible answers and then ranks them. That's what doctors do, too—make a list of differential diagnoses."
The physician presents these findings to the patient, and the pair decides on a preferred treatment. Their decision is then entered into Watson. Once the treatment outcome is known, Watson makes note of whether it was successful and takes that knowledge into account for the next case.
"We train Watson as we would train a doctor—by repetition, by apprenticeship, by showing what previous results were," Dr. Kris said. "And unlike a medical student or a doctor, Watson doesn't forget once it learns something."
"This is not pie-in-the-sky thinking. It's happening now, and I believe this is the future."

From Jefferson to Jackson, Churchill to FDR and beyond with Jon Meacham
Jon Meacham
Gazette-WVU Festival of Ideas
WHEN: 7:30 p.m., March 12
WHERE: Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences
ADMISSION: Free
INFO: Call 304-293-7132 or visit festivalofideas.wvu.eduCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jon Meacham has spent time with some notable figures who've waltzed across the world stage, including Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
That's what happens when you write long, acclaimed books on historic personalities who shaped the times during which they lived.
When he was done with his books on them -- "Franklin and Winston: An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship," the Pulitzer Prize-winning "American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House," and last year's "Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power" -- which of the men had grown in his eyes after he rooted though their lives and legacies?
"Churchill and Jackson both grew in my estimation the more time I spent with them," said Meacham, in a telephone interview from New York, in advance of his visit to Charleston.
Meacham, executive editor at Random House and former editor-in-chief of Newsweek, is this year's Charleston Gazette-WVU Festival of Ideas speaker. He'll appear in a free event starting 7:30 p.m. March 12 at the Clay Center, followed by a reception and book-signing.
Wooing Roosevelt
The author's Churchill-Roosevelt book explored the English prime minister's political courtship of FDR. Churchill sought doggedly to woo America into first aiding and then standing arm-in-arm with England in its dicey confrontation with Hitler's mighty onrushing armies.
"Particularly in Churchill's case, I was struck by the raw human tenacity and courage to do what he did in 1940 and '41, to put up with a very elusive and quicksilver Franklin Roosevelt," said Meacham.
He recited a line of Churchill's, which summed up the prime minister's determination to convince FDR that America had no other choice but to directly enter the fight against the Third Reich's war machine, perhaps the greatest ever assembled in history to that time.
"No lover," said Churchill, "ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt."
Meacham had his own comparison to offer of these towering, yet fallible 20th century figures.
"Churchill emerged, the more time I spent with him, as the warmer human being and in many ways a truly great man. Because he was able to withstand taking the easy step in an hour of maximum danger."
As for Andrew Jackson, America's seventh president who served from 1829 until 1837, Meacham came to admire him "because he was genuinely self-made," he said.
"He came from a part of white society in colonial America where his destiny was not in any way set to become the first president who was not a Virginia aristocrat or member of the Adams family. It required an effort of will on a human level that was deeply impressive."
By calling out special praise on these two, that is not to diminish what FDR and Jefferson accomplished, Meacham added.
"FDR and Jefferson were great men -- flawed, riven with sin and shortcoming. And yet they bent history in a direction that left the country -- and, in both cases, the world -- better off than it had been when they found it."
To Meacham's mind, that is the test of genuine greatness.
"That's the great historical test. When all is said and done and you've left the stage, are things in a better place for a larger number of people than when you first came on the stage?" he said.
"Each of the characters I've written about has passed that test."
Shrill and paralyzed
As a longtime student of power and politics, Meacham, 43, had more than a few thoughts to share about the current president and the legacy Barack Obama is trying to carve out in a time of governmental gridlock.
"I think that we are in a differing degree of partisanship, not of kind," Meacham said. "We have always been divided. What is striking about the current moment is the voices seem shriller and the process itself has become so paralyzed."
It's not just a matter of arguing until one side or another wins "which is the ordinary American way," said Meacham. "It's just arguing and arguing and arguing and not ever getting to a resolution you can take to the voters."
The Senate is ground zero of this dysfunction, he said. "Having the capacity to stop forward motion on all manner of things is something that has taken the traditional American tendency to be divisive and really put it on steroids."
And it is not that any of the procedural moves which stymie change are so different, such as the current battle over the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester that could soon ripple across the country.
For instance, the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act of 1985 "tried to set up fiscal traps for the country to force it into a certain kind of discipline," said Meacham. "[And] the filibuster has been with us for some time. It's just that all of these things are being used more and more ferociously."
Meacham himself poses -- and then answers -- the obvious follow-up question.
"Why is that? Are the current officeholders any more partisan in their souls than previous generations? I don't think so. I think it's this odd combination of 'base purity,' is the best way to put it."
Meacham referred to what he dubbed the "existential political threat" for a contemporary politician. That is, being challenged in a primary race in your own party, where you must echo and truckle to the most conservative, purist views of your party's hard-core base.
"When you talk to members of Congress, they no longer talk about the general election. They talk about the fear of being challenged in a primary," he said.
Obama's test
Whether Obama can forge a way through this tangled terrain and be worthy of the same rank as the great political actors portrayed in Meacham's books is still an open question, he said. To quote from one of his book titles, what might President Obama learn from the "Art of Power" as practiced by President Jefferson?
"I think that Jefferson was quite effective at reaching on a human level to the other players in the system," said the author. "He insisted on using the White House as a social center in order to bring members of Congress in. They might not agree with what the president said but at least should hear him say it. That was a key part of Jefferson's governing philosophy.
"The other -- and I think Obama does this well -- is a willingness to part from dogma when you had to. No one was quicker to compromise or cut a deal than Jefferson. In power, he was quite willing to trade horses and get something done and would not stand on philosophical purity. I think the president is quite good at that."
The larger test -- "because the story's not over yet," Meacham added -- is how well a leader's vision translates into the mechanics of actually making something happen.
"I define the art of power -- an 'art' not a 'science' -- as the capacity to articulate an ideal, then master the process well enough to bring that ideal closer to reality. When you think about American history, we've never had a truly transformative president who has not been good at both -- been a great communicator and great legislative mechanic."
Those are skills that don't necessarily go together, he noted.
"Jefferson and Jackson had both. Roosevelt and John Kennedy had both. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton had both. We don't yet know whether President Obama has both. So, the jury's still out on that."
The fundamental promise
So, what of the country itself and the future of what has sometimes been called the great American Experiment? Is he hopeful or not so hopeful about the future of this experiment?
Meacham reached for a little Churchill.
"Churchill once said 'The future is unknowable, but the past may give us hope,'" he said. "My intellectual tendency is to take the view we've come through storm and strife so many times before that surely we will again.
"The one caveat I would add to that is the most troubling statistic in contemporary American life is the continuing decline in median household income, the widening gap between the well-off and the broad whole of the country."
Economic inequality and its implications can be more difficult to recover from than a lot of other political and cultural problems, he said.
"So, I do think this is an important time with important choices about investment and the role of government sitting before us, at a time when the political system does not seem commensurate with those challenges.
"I am deeply concerned about whether that fundamental American promise that each generation has left things better off for the next generation will, in fact, be broken in my own time," he said. "So, it's a complicated hour."
All of that said, the "good news" is that everyone can contribute good will, thought and energy to what is, after all, a solvable problem, he said.
"It's a problem complicated in its solution, but it's not complicated to grasp it. We are a stronger country when more of us are better off than when fewer of us are. We are a better country when we are more welcoming to newcomers and those who may not be part of the mainstream than when we are less welcoming."
The long view of history serves up one of its most stringent lessons for the survival of a country and its people, he said.
"History teaches us that the fate of the many often determines the fate of the country as a whole."

Green certificate
Green certificates, also known as renewable energy certificates, are electronic or paper representations of the environmental attributes of electricity generated from approved 'green' or 'renewable' energy power plants. The environmental attributes – for example, reduced emissions of pollutants – are determined by comparing the environmental impact of the green or renewable energy power plant with the environmental impact, on average, of all power plants in the system. Social attributes are occasionally included as well; they could include, for example, reduced displacement of people. In many cases, each green certificate has a face value of one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated at a qualified green or renewable energy power plant. The certificates distinguish the environmental attributes of the electricity from the electrons (that is, the 'power attributes') of the electricity. Each – that is, the green certificates and the electrons – can usually be sold separately in different markets. The purchase of green certificates can help electricity producers and consumers meet their renewable energy obligations (where applicable), even when not sourcing electricity directly from a renewable energy power plant. In jurisdictions without obligatory renewable energy targets, green certificates – marketed to, for example, firms advancing 'corporate social responsibility' goals – can help stimulate voluntary purchases of renewable electricity. Alternative terms used to describe green certificates include green tags, renewable energy certificates or credits, or tradable renewable certificates. Green certificates have been used in many countries in Europe, as well as Australia and the United States.

Funerals and memorial services are wrapping up for the 26 children and adults killed on Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., just over a week ago.
On Saturday, a horse-drawn carriage brought the miniature coffin of Ana Marquez-Greene to a church in Bloomfield, Conn., where a thousand mourners gathered. The service for the 6-year-old included a performance by Harry Connick Jr., who has played with the girl's jazz saxophonist father, Jimmy Greene, according to the Connecticut Post.
Family members remembered her as wild-haired child with her own love of music.
At the funeral for Josephine Gay in Newtown, Monsignor Robert Weiss of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church said the 7-year-old liked Barbie, her iPad and the color purple.
Dozens of emergency responders paid their respects at the start of the service.
In northern Utah, 6-year-old Emilie Parker was laid to rest in Ogden, next to her maternal grandfather, who died 2 1/2 months earlier.

Democratic leaders on a special legislative committee say the state is paying a price for the LePage administration's decision to opt out of creating its own health insurance exchange. Instead, the state is allowing the federal government to run the exchange. As A.J. Higgins reports, panelists on the Maine Health Exchange Advisory Committee say the missed money could have helped more Mainers access health care.
Members of the Maine Health Exchange Advisory Committee meet today in Augusta.
Although Mainers are expressing growing interest in health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act, state Sen. Margaret Craven says the state missed the boat by not creating its own exchange to help residents access their health insurance options.
Craven is the Senate chair of the Maine Health Exchange Advisory Committee. She says part of the problem is getting information out about the program. But states that have chosen to run their own exchanges are in better shape. "Other states took it, and they have media outreach, they have individuals on the ground to do outreach," Craven says.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage sided with other Republican governors to oppose the ACA - also known as Obamacare - and said he would not lift a finger to set up a state exchange that serves as a marketplace for companies wanting to sell insurance products in Maine.
After hearing from Christie Hager, the top federal Department of Health and Human Services official for New England, on Monday, Craven says she's confident the state still will still have options to create its own exchange - or marketplace -- after 2014.
She says the state might even be able to apply for a federal grant that would help familiarize Mainers with the program that has come under fierce criticism for being difficult to access and understand. "I think that Christine Hager suggested that there might still be a grant available to do publicity and outreach to our consumers, which this administration refused to apply for," Craven says.
And that's the kind of immediate need that proponents of the embattled health insurance program say is needed. According to statistics cited by federal DHHS officials, many of the 133,000 Mainers who are currently uninsured could finally get into a health care insurance program under the ACA.
Emily Brostek, who oversees the statewide help line for the Augusta-based Consumers for Affordable Health Care, says her agency has received more than 350 calls this month. And many of the inquiries reveal a significant lack of information about health care options.
"Many callers when they reach us don't know exactly what the marketplace is," Brostek says, "but they may have heard something about new options or that they need to have health insurance in the future and they just kind of need to know what they should be doing."
At the Maine Primary Care Association, which works with the state's 19 federally-qualified health centers, Caroline Zimmerman works as the director of health initiatives. She says it would be helpful if the exchange advisory committee could recommend other options for enrolling the estimated 230,000 Maine consumers who could benefit under the federal program.
"If there are any ways that we could facilitate enrollment quickly, either through a Maine specific Web site, I think that would be first and foremost," Zimmerman says.
Federal DHHS officials say they will not be able to provide actual numbers on how many Mainers have signed up under the Affordable Care Act until next month. Consumers have until Dec. 15 to ensure their coverage takes effect Jan. 1. Enrollment is open until March 30.

Oooh, I love it! I really like how the elements fade into the background. Reminds me of the good old PC game manual maps that I used to enjoy so much. You, good sir, get some rep right this moment.
Only two things I'd change:
-The scale seems too sharp in comparison with the rest of the map. Perhaps smudging it a bit or using a less precise font would make it look more in line with the rest.
-Some of the names in red are a bit hard to read, such as the one left of the Crystal Cavern.
Other than that, a fine piece indeed!

Tuesday at the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville, people gathered to pay their respects 29 years after 241 American service members were killed in Beirut.
On October 23, 1983, suicide bombers hit 2 buildings housing American and French servicemen. At the memorial in Jacksonville Tuesday, friends and family of those who died in the terrorist attacks came to honor their loved ones. Retired Marine, Bob Jordan, survived the Beirut bombing. He says the explosion woke him up and knocked over doors and blew in windows where he was staying.
"What had been a 4 story building was now a pile of rubble about 20 feet high and the debris was about 4 feet deep. Within that debris were bodies and body parts," said Jordan
Every year on October 23rd, hundreds of people come to the Jacksonville memorial to look at the names on the wall of those who died, and say a prayer and remember the fallen.

Now that Portland has become the first city on the East Coast to legalize possession of small amounts of marijuana for adults, the question is: What will be different? Pot is still illegal at the state and federal level. The new ordinance does not permit it to be sold or used in public. And until activists, lawmakers or voters change Maine law, Portand's police chief says he intends to approach enforcement the same way he always has. Susan Sharon has more.
Marijuana legalization supporters celebrate their lopsided victory last night in Portland.
The first thing several pro-marijuana supporters did Tuesday night after their lopsided victory in Portland was to light up a foot-long joint and pass it around. They were ordered to put it out by a manager at the bar where their celebration was taking place.
Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck says even after passage of the referendum, such activity remains illegal. The new ordinance won't permit it. And neither does state law.
"There's really no change at all, and we've been very consistent about that since day one," Sauschuck says. "State law pre-empts an ordinance of this sort, a local ordinance of any sort, so it's not going to change the way we do business on a daily basis."
In fact, all the Portland ordinance does is allow those age 21 or over to possess marijuana in the privacy of their own home. And the reason Sauschuck says it won't change much is because Maine is one of 13 states that has already decriminalized marijuana possession for 2.5 ounces or under.
That means no one in Maine is going to jail for having a small amount of pot. It's a civil offense where a fine is issued instead. And in Portland, that doesn't happen very often. According to Sauschuck 54 people were charged with civil possession last year, and 68 the year before.
He says his department won't stop issuing civil citations for marijuana possession. "This is nothing we're going to be waiting around the corner to pounce on somebody who's smoking a joint somewhere or possession of marijuana. But we will enforce the law when we come into contact with that."
"You know, I still think it makes a big difference in sending a message to our elected leaders that it's time to move forward," says Rep. Diane Russell, a Democrat from Portland who recently sponsored a bill to tax and regulate marijuana statewide.
The bill was rejected. But Russell plans to reintroduce a similar measure. She also supported the Portland referendum, and she says city officials, including law enforcement, should pay attention to voters' wishes.
"When 67 percent of voters say it's time for a change, that this is not working anymore, I think politicians would be smart to rethink their positions and to respect the will of the people," she says.
The will of the activists and volunteers who worked to pass Portland's ordinance is to keep trying to change laws. David Boyer is with the Maine Marijuana Policy Project.
"MPP is positioned to put taxing and regulating marijuana like alcohol on the 2016 ballot, unless the Legislature catches up to the majority of Portlanders and Americans and ends marijuana prohibition," Boyer says. "If they don't, in the meantime, than voters statewide will have the opportunity to change the laws in November of 2016."
As activists look to make Portland a springboard for their efforts, a new advocacy group intends to raise awareness about the misconceptions, policy and health problems associated with pot. Smart Approaches to Marijuana, founded by former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy, plans to undertake a statewide education campaign, according to its new spokesman. The group wants to be firmly in place in advance of the expected ballot question in 2016.

Defense, rebounds carry SC past Hurricane
HURRICANE, W.Va. -- On Friday night, South Charleston notched one of its most impressive wins in one of the most unimpressive shooting performances it's turned in all year.
The Black Eagles struggled with their shot all night, going 0 for 14 from 3-point range and shooting under 33 percent for the game, but were able to rely on frenzied defense and a relentless assault on the glass to pull away from host Hurricane 59-52 in a battle of Class AAA top 10 teams.
When SC and coach Vic Herbert realized it wasn't going to be their night offensively, they simply clamped down on defense and stymied the No. 10 Redskins.
"Defensively we did a pretty good job," Herbert said. "We went to a zone [after halftime]. We played a 2-3 and extended a little bit but most of it was a packed-in 2-3 and we wanted to see if they could make some outside shots while we were contesting them. They just didn't make any that quarter."
Technically, Hurricane (8-4) did make one. Rasaan Harris buried a 3 with under 30 seconds left in the third period, representing the Redskins' first and only field goal of the quarter.
And while South Charleston managed only a 9-5 scoring advantage in the third, it was enough to break a 30-30 tie at the break and send the Black Eagles on their way.
Despite the switch to zone, Hurricane still didn't get many open looks. Instead, No. 2 South Charleston constantly swarmed into passing lanes and pressured Hurricane into an up-tempo style that clearly favored the Black Eagles, who forced 21 Hurricane turnovers.
Black Eagles forward Hunter Moles said Herbert delivered the message of defense loud and clear at halftime.
"I think it was all defense," Moles said. "As a team we weren't getting on people quick enough. They pushed the ball a little bit and it was all about getting a hand on shots and not letting them get open shots.
"Coach Herbert really wanted us to push it on defense. He said, 'Defense is going to win you this game, guys.' We started pressing it, got into a little different defense, got our hands up more and just got a little bit more aggressive."
Moles scored 11 points and was a perfect 7 for 7 from the free-throw line, but more importantly was a big part of a SC rebounding attack that consistently provided second shots for the offense and limited Hurricane to one-and-dones on the other end.
Moles had eight rebounds, as did A.D. Cunningham, while Neal Brown had nine and Kevin Williams a game-best 10 for South Charleston, despite Hurricane having a distinct height advantage.
"If you look at the guys we start, [Moles] is 6-foot-2, A.D. and Neal Brown are around 5-11 and my two guards are 5-8, 5-9 so we've got four guys under 6-foot in the starting lineup," Herbert said. "But we're pretty tenacious on the boards. We're athletic and we get after it on the glass."
While South Charleston struggled to find its stroke all night, Hurricane was able to bury a decent number of its shots, hitting 19 of 42 field goals and going 10 for 21 from 3-point range.
But between the rebounding advantage and turnovers forced, the Black Eagles (10-1) were able to get up 20 more shots and attempted 18 more free throws than Hurricane, both statistics that directly influenced the final score.
This week, the No. 10 Redskins found themselves ranked for the first time this season but will most likely fall out after a narrow loss at George Washington on Wednesday coupled with Friday's loss to SC.
Hurricane has just missed racking up a signature win a few times this year and seems close to turning the proverbial corner. Coach Lance Sutherland senses his squad is almost there.
"Yeah, we are [close to turning the corner]," Sutherland said. "I'm not mad that we lost. We make a few layups here and a few foul shots there and that's the game. We were in the game. In years past we'd get beat by 40, 50, 60, whatever. This year we were right there with them and had a very good chance to win the game."
To his point, Hurricane made just 4 of its 10 free throws.
Cunningham had a game-high 13 points for SC while Brown tossed in 11.
Trey Dawson led the way with 12 points for Hurricane while Garrett DeFries provided a spark off the bench with 11. Rasaan Harris scored 10 points for the Redskins.
