WASHINGTON, D.C. — The notoriously complex and difficult world of copyright law took on yet another twist last week after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., a case that will be closely watched by those who make their living buying and selling creative material — including visual art.
The court's decision on the suit, which experts expect will come down to a close 5-4 vote, will have broad consequences over the rights of copyright holders in the creative fields — particularly those who believe they should be entitled to royalties and control over creative material that is bought and sold more than once. In many ways, the case — which concerns the resale of overseas-reprints of textbooks — resembles the dispute over the California Resale Royalties Act, which reached a high point last year when artists including Chuck Close and Robert Graham went to court trying to claim a percentage in the profits made on works of art that had been sold on the secondary market.
But the issue becomes all the more tricky when international frontiers are involved. While living in the United States and attending graduate school, Thai student Supap Kirtsaeng decided he could make a bit of cash by selling textbooks — specifically, books that had originally been published by an American firm but manufactured by a company with a license to print them in Thailand.
Because manufacturing costs in the Far East were much lower, Kirtsaeng's family was able to find books that had been printed at a fraction of the cost of similar American editions. Operating in the so-called "gray market," he made some $100,000 in profits when he sold the Thai-printed books on eBay to customers back in the United States.
Kirtsaeng believed what he was doing was legal, but American publisher John Wiley and Sons took issue. When they found out that their books were among those distributed by Kirtsaeng, they sued for damages, asserting that he had infringed on their exclusive rights to sell or import their licensed material. The district court awarded Wiley $600,000; the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision.
Speaking before the Supreme Court last week, Kirtsaeng's counsel asserted that this was a mistake, citing the "first sale doctrine," which allows the owner of a copy of a licensed work the right to sell or distribute it on the secondary market.
On the surface of things, the wording of the Copyright Act is on Kirtsaeng's side. "The owner of a particular copy or phonorecord lawfully made under this title," Section 109(a) reads, "is entitled, without the authority of the copyright owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of the possession of that copy or phonorecord."
Not surprisingly, however, lawyers for the American publisher have a much different take on this section. They argued that because the textbooks sold by Kirtsaeng had been manufactured in Thailand, outside of the domain of United States law, the phrase "lawfully made under this title" did not apply. In this interpretation, the first sale doctrine could not be enforced on copyrighted material that had come to being outside the borders of the U.S.
Meanwhile, Kirtsaeng's counsel insisted that so long as the books were printed with Wiley's permission and purchased legitimately, he was within his rights to sell the books in the United States at will. Hinting that a profound revision of the "first sale doctrine" would place severe limits on businesses and institutions to sell or distribute a licensed piece of creative material, Kirtsaeng's lawyers argued that allowing Wiley to block the secondary sale of creative material would give copyright holders "endless, eternal downstream control over sales and rentals" of their property, according to a report in Business Week.
The art world, in particular, would not be untouched by this radical change in behavior. "If someone in the U.S. owned a painting that they had purchased from someone who made it overseas, and you purchase the painting here," Columbia law professor Ronald Mann told ARTINFO, "the copyright would prevent you from reselling the painting without their permission."
Speaking to Wiley's lawyer, Theodore B. Olson, Justice Breyer seemed ready to reveal his disposition on the issue when he described a scenario in which the owner of a Toyota could be prevented from re-selling his car if it contained sound or GPS systems protected by a copyright.
"If I am looking for the bear in the mouse hole, I look at those horribles, and there I see that bear," he said, according to SCOTUSblog.org. "I'm asking you to spend some time telling me why I'm wrong."

I'm experiencing a problem where my MX Revolution does a double-click instead of a single click like I intended...I'm using the latest driver from Logitech v 5.10.9 and the Set Point Control Center version is v 6.15.6.
How would I know if it's hardware (IOW a switch malfunctioning in the mouse), software or the wireless connection between "mouse and machine"?
The OS is 32 bit Win7 and the machine is a Dell Latitude D620
Any troubleshooting ideas greatly appreciated.
I ended up finding the receipt...the mouse was over three years old...but Logitech replaced it under warranty anyway with a Performance MX model... +1 for Logitech...I just received the new mouse a couple of days ago!!!

LIBOR Scandal Heats Up
TheStreet) -- JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) has another lawsuit to add to its litigation pile of pain. Fannie Mae (FNMA) on Thursday filed lawsuits against JPMorgan and eight other major banks, seeking "at least" $800 million in losses, plus punitive damages over the alleged collusion of banks to manipulate LIBOR.The lawsuits were first reported in the Wall Street Journal. A Fannie Mae spokesperson confirmed the lawsuits had been filed but no other detail was included in the report. Fannie Mae has not put out a press release discussing the lawsuits, and an email requesting additional comment from the company Friday morning wasn't immediately returned. Other banks being sued by Fannie Mae, according to the Journal, include Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), Deutsche Bank (DB), Credit Suisse (CS), Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), UBS AG (UBS), Barclays (BCS) and Rabobank. Fannie Mae and its sister government sponsored enterprise (GSE) Freddie Mac (FMCC) were taken under government conservatorship in September 2008. The GSEs are regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). The U.S. Treasury holds $189.4 billion in senior preferred stock in the GSEs, and while the GSEs have paid the government a combined $146 billion in dividends on the senior preferred shares, there is no mechanism in place allowing them to repurchase any of the government-held preferred shares. Under their revised bailout agreements, Fannie and Freddie pay all their earnings as dividends to the government, except for minimal capital buffers. Freddie preceded Fannie in filing a LIBOR lawsuit against over a dozen banks in March. LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. The rate was originally compiled by the British Bankers' Association from the rate information submitted each day by a group of large banks with international business. LIBOR is a critically important "overnight rate," because many types of loans have their rates indexed to LIBOR, as do many types of derivative securities. The LIBOR scandal came to light last year, when various media outlets reported that banks had submitted false information used to compile LIBOR. Banks had misstated the rate at which they estimated they could borrow funds overnight from other banks, because admitting to an increased cost for overnight loans would signal that the financial health of the bank submitting the data was weakening.NEW YORK (

Hospital Tour?
I went last month. They just take you around to see what their L&D department is like. They will show you were to check in, the waiting room, probably the triage room, then the labor/recovery room, where the OR for c-sections are, where the nursery/NICU is, and more then likely will ask if you need/want to pre-register.
Just did mine last week. They took us through l&d & showed us the rooms we will be staying in with baby & pre registered. It was about an hour long.
Kareena 11/17/1994 Ethan 6/6/2001 Baby Nora arrived 1/23/2013 6 wks early!!!
They also answer any questions you have about their hospital. Things like security system, policies on taking babies for procedures, whether you can room in with the baby or not, on where the baby will have it's first bath, if they have things like tubs or birthing balls or squatting polls.
I had mine during my child-birthing class. She just took us around, showed us the different rooms and the nursery and then told us all the options we have for where baby can stay and birthing processes and such.
Jenn + Justin = 9/29/2012
Ronin = 2/21/2013
We did a tour of the birth center at our hospital after our last appointment about a month ago. It was a really emotional experience for us, because they brought us to the room we will actually be delivering in (as long as everything goes as planned, were doing a waterbirth at the hospital and they only have one water birthing room) It made me really excited to get this show on the road now though!
Mommy to MJ (9.19.08) and MD (3.19.13)
Baby #3 due 10.28.14
in denmark the midwife puts u in a mothers group and does things together with all of you and mine is meeting for hospital tour the 18th
first time mommy - living in denmark
Baby #2 on the way :) Due March 28 2013
I'm going to try to set one up. I'm going to a different clinic and hospital this time and have no idea where to go if I go into labor. It's making me a little nervous!

pythonv / Doc / library / xml.dom.minidom.rst
:mod:`xml.dom.minidom` --- Lightweight DOM implementation
Source code: :source:`Lib/xml/dom/minidom.py`
:mod:`xml.dom.minidom` is a light-weight implementation of the Document Object Model interface. It is intended to be simpler than the full DOM and also significantly smaller.
The :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` module provides an implementation of the W3C-DOM, with an API similar to that in other programming languages. Users who are unfamiliar with the W3C-DOM interface or who would like to write less code for processing XML files should consider using the :mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree` module instead.
DOM applications typically start by parsing some XML into a DOM. With :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`, this is done through the parse functions:
from xml.dom.minidom import parse, parseString dom1 = parse('c:\\temp\\mydata.xml') # parse an XML file by name datasource = open('c:\\temp\\mydata.xml') dom2 = parse(datasource) # parse an open file dom3 = parseString('<myxml>Some data<empty/> some more data</myxml>')
The :func:`parse` function can take either a filename or an open file object.
If you have XML in a string, you can use the :func:`parseString` function instead:
Both functions return a :class:`Document` object representing the content of the document.
What the :func:`parse` and :func:`parseString` functions do is connect an XML parser with a "DOM builder" that can accept parse events from any SAX parser and convert them into a DOM tree. The name of the functions are perhaps misleading, but are easy to grasp when learning the interfaces. The parsing of the document will be completed before these functions return; it's simply that these functions do not provide a parser implementation themselves.
You can also create a :class:`Document` by calling a method on a "DOM Implementation" object. You can get this object either by calling the :func:`getDOMImplementation` function in the :mod:`xml.dom` package or the :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` module. Once you have a :class:`Document`, you can add child nodes to it to populate the DOM:
from xml.dom.minidom import getDOMImplementation impl = getDOMImplementation() newdoc = impl.createDocument(None, "some_tag", None) top_element = newdoc.documentElement text = newdoc.createTextNode('Some textual content.') top_element.appendChild(text)
Once you have a DOM document object, you can access the parts of your XML document through its properties and methods. These properties are defined in the DOM specification. The main property of the document object is the :attr:`documentElement` property. It gives you the main element in the XML document: the one that holds all others. Here is an example program:
dom3 = parseString("<myxml>Some data</myxml>") assert dom3.documentElement.tagName == "myxml"
When you are finished with a DOM tree, you may optionally call the :meth:`unlink` method to encourage early cleanup of the now-unneeded objects. :meth:`unlink` is a :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`-specific extension to the DOM API that renders the node and its descendants are essentially useless. Otherwise, Python's garbage collector will eventually take care of the objects in the tree.
DOM Objects
The definition of the DOM API for Python is given as part of the :mod:`xml.dom` module documentation. This section lists the differences between the API and :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`.
DOM Example
This example program is a fairly realistic example of a simple program. In this particular case, we do not take much advantage of the flexibility of the DOM.
minidom and the DOM standard
The :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` module is essentially a DOM 1.0-compatible DOM with some DOM 2 features (primarily namespace features).
Usage of the DOM interface in Python is straight-forward. The following mapping rules apply:
- Interfaces are accessed through instance objects. Applications should not instantiate the classes themselves; they should use the creator functions available on the :class:`Document` object. Derived interfaces support all operations (and attributes) from the base interfaces, plus any new operations.
- Operations are used as methods. Since the DOM uses only :keyword:`in` parameters, the arguments are passed in normal order (from left to right). There are no optional arguments. void operations return None.
- IDL attributes map to instance attributes. For compatibility with the OMG IDL language mapping for Python, an attribute foo can also be accessed through accessor methods :meth:`_get_foo` and :meth:`_set_foo`. readonly attributes must not be changed; this is not enforced at runtime.
- The types short int, unsigned int, unsigned long long, and boolean all map to Python integer objects.
- The type DOMString maps to Python strings. :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` supports either bytes or strings, but will normally produce strings. Values of type DOMString may also be None where allowed to have the IDL null value by the DOM specification from the W3C.
- const declarations map to variables in their respective scope (e.g. xml.dom.minidom.Node.PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE); they must not be changed.
- DOMException is currently not supported in :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`. Instead, :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` uses standard Python exceptions such as :exc:`TypeError` and :exc:`AttributeError`.
- :class:`NodeList` objects are implemented using Python's built-in list type. These objects provide the interface defined in the DOM specification, but with earlier versions of Python they do not support the official API. They are, however, much more "Pythonic" than the interface defined in the W3C recommendations.
The following interfaces have no implementation in :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`:
- :class:`DOMTimeStamp`
- :class:`DocumentType`
- :class:`DOMImplementation`
- :class:`CharacterData`
- :class:`CDATASection`
- :class:`Notation`
- :class:`Entity`
- :class:`EntityReference`
- :class:`DocumentFragment`
Most of these reflect information in the XML document that is not of general utility to most DOM users.
|The encoding name included in the XML output should conform to the appropriate standards. For example, "UTF-8" is valid, but "UTF8" is not valid in an XML document's declaration, even though Python accepts it as an encoding name. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#NT-EncodingDecl and http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets .

The instructions for meditation couldn't be simpler. The instructions are as follows: Pay attention to what is happening now, when you're attention moves into the future or past or starts talking about the present, bring it back. Repeat as necessary. Got it? Not too complicated. Focus. Get distracted. Return your attention. Repeat.
Something called "awareness" can notice and redirect attention. And that is what we cultivate when we meditate – awareness. Awareness is psychological, not mystical. It's a faculty that we all have, and, as noted above, we all have the ability to mindful in some circumstances. Meditation will make it available in all circumstances.
There is nothing mysterious about this. Nothing that can't be observed directly, right here, right now. In fact, if we start to talk about things that we can't observe right here and right not then we're not talking about this kind of meditation. This meditation is simple, portable, and durable. We can take it everywhere and it holds up to any circumstance and challenge. We don't need to get into the ineffable, the unknowable, or the sublime to be awake in our own lives. We just need to be breathing.

Criscuola has benefited from a provision in the health care law that provides free annual wellness exams to people with Medicare.
"Do I use it? Yeah. Is the benefit I receive from it more than if I had kept the money I paid into Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes and invested it myself? No. It's considerably less," she said. "Will it be around in 15, 20 years? Probably not."
Name: Bev Veals
Home: Near Wilmington, N.C.
Age: 48
Occupation: Stay-at-home mom of a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old
Insurance coverage: Coverage under the new law for people with pre-existing conditions
On Thursday morning, waiting for the news, Veals was watching CNN, which initially reported incorrectly that the law had been overturned. She was tense with worry that she would lose her coverage.
"I'm totally, absolutely right now dazed because they first, initially said it had been overturned," Veals said. "I'm sitting here gasping for breath. ... Now they're saying it's being upheld." She added: "It's a relief."
The expense of her breast cancer treatments led to bankruptcy and foreclosure for her family over a horrific 10-year period. Finally, it cost so much that she could no longer afford health insurance. She and her self-employed husband decided to drop her from the family's insurance plan four years ago to reduce their monthly premiums from $1,700 to $400 a month.
She spent the next 27 months uninsured. Then in 2011 she signed up for insurance made possible by the new law. The program helps people who have been turned away by insurance companies because of pre-existing medical conditions. She now pays $377 a month for her insurance with a $1,000 deductible, meaning she pays that much out of pocket before the coverage starts.
"It has only been a little over a year for me, but I can't tell you the dignity being covered brings," Veals said. "My biggest fear was I would have to beg for help to cover medical bills. Panhandling to pay a doctor's bill ... not my idea of the American Dream."
Though raised as a Republican, Veals said her politics are changing.
"As a conservative, I believed if you can't make your way, you don't get your way. Now I've cost more medically than I will ever be able to make. I've changed my political stance because of this," she said. "It doesn't do our economy any good when we have so many people having to file for medical bankruptcy."
Name: Carlton Grimmett
Home: Atlanta
Age: 43
Employment: Night security guard at upscale apartment complex
Coverage: Uninsured
Two years ago, Grimmett had a job with good insurance and a wife with diabetes and other health problems. But then his job, doing plumbing and HVAC work at an Atlanta university, was outsourced and he no longer could cover his wife's medical bills.
His wife had to stop going to the private doctors she was seeing, and her husband tried to get her into care elsewhere. But at other facilities, they encountered paperwork, delays and foot dragging, he said. Her health deteriorated.
"When you don't have insurance, they treat you different," he said.

These have a very slight salty taste, which I like. They're not crisp like store brands, because of being raw, so that's a good thing--no transfats.
Posted by Reviewer2536898 on Feb 14, 2012
We love the taste of these sunflower seeds. My husband usually doesn't care for their taste, but this brand has him snacking healthier now.
Posted by Reviewer2072312 on May 28, 2012
I didn't know sunflower seeds could taste this good!! I LOVE these! I eat them on salads, by the handful and my whole family loves them! Also, while some nuts bother my sensitive digestive system, these cause no problem at all, likely because they're sprouted. At any rate, I'll be buying more!

Palestinians: IDF kills 2 Gazans; 4 others wounded in IAF strike
2 militants allegedly shot as they tried to plant bomb on border fence; air strike comes after rocket hits Negev.
The Israel Defense Forces killed two Palestinians who tried to plant a bomb on the Gaza Strip's northern border fence on Saturday, Palestinian hospital officials and a militant faction said.
They identified the men killed near the town of Beit Hanoun as members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.
An Israeli military spokesman had no immediate comment
Earlier on Saturday, four Palestinians were wounded, two moderately and two lightly, in an Israel Air Force strike in the northern Gaza Strip.
The IDF confirmed the air strike, saying it targeted a group of three militants.
The air strike came shortly after a Qassam rocket hit the western Negev, causing no damage or injuries.
On Friday, a rocket hit between a children's house and a nursery school in a Negev community, and two armed Palestinians were killed by IDF fire in Gaza.
There were no injuries in the rocket strike as staffers and children managed to reach shelter in time. One woman suffered from shock, however, and a nearby structure was damaged.
In Gaza, IDF soldiers shot dead a gunman in the northern part of the territory late Friday after he hurled a grenade close the border fence with Israel. Palestinian medics were allowed to retrieve his body Saturday morning.
Earlier Friday, troops opened fire on a group of gunmen during an incursion into the southern Strip, killing one and wounding two others.
Two other rockets fired by Gaza militants on Friday struck a Negev kibbutz and an open field. There were no injuries. In addition, militants fired six mortar shells at southern Israel, which exploded near the security fence in central Gaza.
Senior Palestinian Authority sources told Haaretz this week that Hamas militants who recently returned to the Gaza Strip after training in Iran have a detailed plan for upgrading the capabilities of the rockets being developed in the Strip.
The source said militants have smuggled blueprints and other detailed technical instructions into the Strip that will enable the group to develop rockets capable of striking at longer distances.

The tip-off was the sunglasses.
A New Yorker faces a $135 traffic fine for using a mannequin as her "plus one" in the high-occupancy vehicle lane of the Long Island Expressway.
An alert sheriff's deputy on Long Island became suspicious this week when he saw the "passenger" wearing sunglasses and using the visor. The problem: The sky was overcast.
When he stopped the vehicle, he found the mannequin, fully dressed with a long dark wig, blazer, shirt and scarf.
The 61-year-old driver left with a summons.

Pujols back to working out after minor knee surgery
The Angels do not expect Albert Pujols to deal with any extended down time in the wake of minor right knee surgery, a team spokesman said Thursday.
Pujols, 32, underwent an arthroscopic "cleanup" last week in St. Louis, and he has already resumed his offseason conditioning.
The Angels slugger was limited to designated hitter duties for most of the final six weeks of the season. He injured his right calf Aug. 22 in Boston. An MRI exam showed inflammation near the back of his right knee.
After that game, Pujols played just nine games at first base. Manager Mike Scioscia said on a few occasions that Pujols was being slowed by leg problems.
Pujols hit .291 over the final 33 games, but he hit only two homers during that span. For the season, he hit .285 with 30 homers and 105 RBIs.
In the first year of a 10-year, $240 million deal, Pujols saw his numbers continue to decline. He has hit fewer homers and had a lower OPS each of the past three seasons.
Pujols still managed to be one of just 12 players in the majors to hit at least 30 homers and drive in at least 100 runs. He hit .197 with one homer over his first 35 games, but over the next 86 games — until the injury — he hit .320 with 27 homers and a 1.031 OPS.

Why We'd Be Miserable in a World Without Religion
An interview with King's College President Dinesh D'Souza: why he'll argue against the motion, "The World Would Be Better Off Without Religion," at the Nov. 15 Slate/Intelligence Squared U.S. debate.
Dinesh D'Souza, president of the evangelical King's College in New York City, aims to give his graduates "the tools to be dangerous Christians." He's educating a generation of Christian scholars "who know how to stand up for, and intelligently defend, their beliefs [among nonbelievers] in secular culture."
On Nov. 15, D'Souza will practice what he preaches. The former policy analyst for President Reagan will argue against the motion, "The World Would Be Better Off Without Religion," during the live Slate/Intelligence Squared U.S. debate in New York. D'Souza, a devout Christian, has participated in about 25 of these "so-called God debates." Last week, I talked to him about one of the strangest God questions he's ever been asked, how he became religious, and why Las Vegas isn't representative of a world without religion. Excerpts from our conversation are printed below.
Slate: Have you always been as religious as you are now?
Dinesh D'Souza: I was born in Bombay, India, and I was raised in a Christian family. But it was a very lukewarm Christianity, not particularly devout. I came to America at the age of 17 as an exchange student, and a year later, I was a student at Dartmouth. I would say that the rather weak foundation of my Christianity was effectively battered at Dartmouth. I've had mostly a secular career. But I became intellectually interested in Christianity again in my mid-30s. When we moved to California again 10 years ago, I began to go to a nondenominational church that reinvigorated my Christianity. So it has been a little bit of a process, but I would say I've discovered an adult Christianity, different from the Christianity I learned as a kid.
Slate: How did you become intellectually interested in Christianity?
DD: I was a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington, and my neighbor was Michael Novak, a theologian and philosopher who has written about issues like the morality of capitalism and the Christian roots of free markets. It's possible to be fascinated intellectually with the Christian heritage without being devout. At the AEI, I also became [interested] in the thought of the philosopher Leo Strauss, and in his ideas about how Western civilization is rooted in Athens and Jerusalem. Of course I was interested in Athens, but I also felt that I should learn a lot more about Jerusalem.
Slate: You've done many religious debates before. What are the most common arguments the other side makes against faith?
DD: The most common argument against religion is the idea that it is responsible for much of the division, conflict, terrorism, violence, war, persecution, and bloodshed of history. Probably the second most common argument is that it is irrational, oppressive, and imposes all kinds of arbitrary rules and laws—particularly against premarital sex and homosexuality.
Slate: Will this debate be any different from the other 25 debates?
DD: Most of the debates I've participated in have been on Christian college campuses or on secular campuses, so largely before a student audience. This is a different setting. It's largely an adult audience.
Slate: Has a college student ever asked you a question that you just couldn't answer?
DD: Yeah, that's happened many times. Normally the undergraduate atheist is an extremely self-satisfied and arrogant guy. There's not a lot of new material, but sometimes a question will throw you off in that you have to think about what's behind the question. One time, a guy shouts at me from the audience, "Why does God hate amputees?" And I was like, "Excuse me?" And he says, "In the Bible, Jesus heals the blind man, but there's no account of a miracle where an amputee is healed." That was a little bit out of the blue. I subsequently discovered a whole website called "why God hates amputees" or something like that. It got me go to back and think through what the guy was really getting at. To heal an amputee and make his limb re-grow is a kind of obvious miracle, [whereas] anybody can claim an internal miracle, like, "I was diagnosed with cancer and now I don't have it." His point was, show us a miracle that is objectively verifiable. At the time, I didn't get all that out of the question. I was a little bit baffled.
Slate: So what did you tell the kid?

Blizzard Entertainment, which makes the MMORPG World of WarCraft , has just announced that the game has crossed the 9 million subscriber mark . In
Blizzard Entertainment, which makes the MMORPG World of WarCraft, has just announced that the game has crossed the 9 million subscriber mark. In other words: there's an online video game that is now the 90th most populous country on earth. A gym in Vancouver, Canada, has just added Nintendo's Wii system to some of its circuit training stations. (One session of Wii boxing, apparently, can burn between 75 and 125 calories.) I can sort of understand that, given how physically active playing the Wii is. But what really bothered me, for some reason, was that the gym is going to add Playstations and Xbox 360s--which require no amount of physical exertion whatsoever--just to lure in younger clients. (But if the 'number of TVs at my gym turned to ESPN-to-douchebag' ratio at my gym is any indication, this may actually be successful.) And finally, between all of the problems with the Xbox 360—including recalls and warranty extensions (and that's on top of the reported $129 loss that Microsoft sustains selling each unit)—the software giant's entertainment division now stands to lose $1.9 billion this fiscal year. That said, even as profits are falling--and, from my former days as a video game tester, I can vouch that they do indeed crash quite a bit--the company is still posting a mighty profit of $1.42 per share this year. Because for everyone who's giving up their console, approximately five others are subscribing to WoW and someone else is calling the Wii their workout. And the addiction potential of video games, they say, needs more study. Go figure.

Hundreds of cancer survivors and advocates gathered at the capital as one lawmaker announced legislation to increase funding for cancer research.
Rep. Adam Hasner of Delray Beach announced a bill that would earmark $9 million toward cancer research.
Florida has the second highest cancer mortality rate in the country, yet the American Cancer Society says Florida doesn't receive nearly enough funding.
Cancer survivor Kitty Flynn says she's proof funding can save lives.
"I was very blessed that they were able to do the treatments here, but it was because of the research prior to me getting the cancer that my doctors here knew what to do and that created me as a survivor."
The Florida Department of Health says in a two-year period in Leon County, nearly 900 people were diagnosed with cancer. Among them, more than half resulted in death.

The K1200 LT is a significant improvement over the old model, mainly because of the extra stomp from the engine. It is a massively capable and well-equipped luxury mile-eater which really grew on me. In day-to-day use it's a bit of a handful, and no more practical as an everyday commuter than the most extreme of sportsbikes. It baulks at heavy traffic and it's often easier to sit patiently in a queue with the car drivers than trying to muscle the Bee Emm through gaps it barely fits into.New bits include a much-improved, easily adjustable two-piece headlight, a redesigned, reshaped seat, a new instrument cluster with a flat-screen LCD display panel (showing mileage, trip meters, gear indicator, fuel level, radio information and time) and lots and lots of extra chrome bits.But the real meat of the updated LT is in the engine. We've criticised the bike in the past for its lack of shove; it simply lacked the power to propel its 387kgs (including fuel, plus rider and pillion) at a respectable rate, so BMW has boosted torque and power. Where the outgoing model peaked at 98bhp, the new LT breathes more easily and tops out at a claimed 116bhp.The difference is immediately noticeable. While revs build relatively ponderously below five grand, there's an impressive surge above that and on to the 8000rpm redline. In fact, it could now do with an extra gear – maybe an 'overdrive' rather than sixth – to make use of the extra go, as there's enough power to sustain higher cruising speeds than before. As it is, the motor will propel the LT to a GPS-certified 130mph.You wouldn't want to travel on such an enormous motorcycle without decent brakes, and fortunately the power of the anti-lock, servo-assisted, combined EVO braking system is impressive. In fact, with over half-a-ton of bike, rider, luggage and pillion to haul up, it was astonishing. My one gripe with the EVO set-up is that it's too sharp at low speed. Not such a problem when travelling alone, but with a pillion it's hard to avoid regular head butts when tottering around; as you come to a near standstill, the effect is akin to someone jamming a stick into the spokes. BMW really needs to come up with a way of reducing the EVO's braking force at very low speeds. Huge, heavy tourers of the K1200 LT's ilk, and particularly the K1200LT of old, are motorcycling's own disassociative anaesthetic, a two-wheeled dose of ketamine, relaxing the body and separating the mind from its physical surroundings before taking it on a long and winding journey. Which isn't necessarily a good thing. Despite its size, however, the K1200LT rider remains pretty well attuned to the world – and road – around them.Feedback through the Telelever front end is impressive, considering the LT's bulk. A surprising amount of information is fed through to the bars, and every change in road surface and heart-stopping slide on Teflon-like French white lines can be felt. This has to be taken in context – the LT is about as far from a sportsbike as it's possible to get and still be on two wheels – but it's surprising how hard the LT could be pushed around once acclimatised to its ways. Despite a top-heavy feel at a standstill, the LT carries its weight low enough for relatively easy walking pace manoeuvres, aided by a 15mm increase in trail over the old model. In fact, I was sat too low for comfort (I'm 6ft 2), but popping up the seat and adjusting it from 'low' to 'high' put things more to my liking.Less to my liking was the higher-speed handling. On fast, wet autoroutes, the K1200 LT was far from confidence inspiring – well, it was at first. In long sweepers a gentle weave could be felt through the swept back bars. Winding on the throttle actually helped reduce it, but that's not always a practical solution. But cranking up rear preload (via the hydraulic underseat adjuster) was, transforming the bike from wallowing, scraping behemoth into a slightly more composed behemoth. But it still scraped. On billiard table-smooth roads the first things to touch down are the rider's footrests and, on the right, the brake pedal. But hit a bump at anything past two or three degrees of lean and the centrestand digs into the road with alarming ease.Ah yes, the centrestand. The LT's Big Gimmick – and a very clever one at that – is its electro-hydraulically operated centrestand. Putting a bike of this size on its stand is always a worry, but the LT's lift-o-matic system makes it push-button easy. Thumb the button next to the starter and a hydraulic ram lowers the stand and lifts the bike onto it. Very clever.Ergonomically, the LT nearly hits the mark. The seating position is even comfortable for – perhaps especially for – big people like me, and the fairing does a superb job. I covered several hundred miles in sometimes torrential rain and remained dry but for my fingertips (which were wet but warm, due to the heated grips). Pillion comfort is excellent too. Thanks to the LT, I finally coaxed my wife back onto a bike after a four-year abstinence, and she actually enjoyed a sunny Sunday afternoon on two wheels. Now, that IS saying something. Niggles would have to be directed at the switchgear, which is still on the confusing side thanks to Bee Emm's convoluted indicator switch set-up. It's complicated still further on the LT with the plethora of other switches, knobs and buttons, which all take some getting used to.

Hello all you out there in Chictopia-land!
My boo and I have a date night planned at this fancy schmancy restaurant, so this is what I am wearing :) I am going for comfortable yet a bit romantic (he loves skirts – haha). I am a big lover of prints, you may know that, so I of course love this sweater. It's quite unique, especially the colors. I just love it! And how about these shoes?? They actually have a heel, but it's okay because they are 100% comfortable and so, so cool — did you see the ombre colors? Love!
Happy Saturday!

STAND-TO! Edition: Tuesday August 27, 2013
Today's Focus:
Ready and Resilient Campaign: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
What is it?
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can occur in adults or children, military or civilian at any age after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Combat, sexual or physical assault or abuse, a terrorist incident, a serious accident or natural disasters like a fire, tornado, hurricane, flood or an earthquake are all examples of traumatic events.
Symptoms of PTSD include reliving the event through flashbacks, nightmares, daydreams, or avoiding reminders of the event, and being on guard or hyper-aroused. These symptoms may occur soon after the trauma or take weeks, months or even years to appear or for some not at all. Other issues that may mask or intensify symptoms include chronic pain, depression, anxiety, alcohol, drug, or relationship problems.
What has the Army done?
PTSD is treatable. The Army offers Soldiers and families access to healthcare providers and effective treatments including talk therapies and medications or both. Recovery is as high as 80 percent for patients who complete behavioral health treatment.
The Army has increased the number of behavioral health providers and embedded many within brigade combat teams where needed most. The Army also conducts mandated enhanced behavioral health screenings at five recognized touch points throughout the deployment cycle, to include an in-theater touch point. The Army now also screens for PTSD annually as part of every Soldier's periodic annual health assessment.
Why is this important to the Army?
Since 2003, a total of 92,835 Soldiers (79,014 deployed and 13,821 non-deployed), who served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, have been diagnosed with PTSD. As Soldiers continue to return from deployments, the Army must be ready and able to provide the behavioral health care and services needed to restore health to preserve the Army's fighting strength and the Soldier's quality of life.
What does the Army have planned for the future?
The availability of consistent evidence-based behavioral health assessments and treatments for PTSD is a high priority for the Army. The Army currently has over 5,000 behavioral health professionals trained to provide behavioral health services for Soldiers and other beneficiaries diagnosed with PTSD and related clinical conditions.
Plans for the future include embedding additional behavioral health providers in units that are not brigade combat teams in support of the Army's Ready and Resilient program. The Army will continue to provide extensive training and access to resiliency programs before, during and after deployments to lessen the impact of deployments and traumatic events on Soldiers and families

It's (PTSD) very real. It's not a disorder. It's actually just a natural part of being human, because something bad happened. So for people who feel embarrassed by it, it's because of the myths that are associated with it. I was totally believing the myths until it happened to me ...

In addition to having my name permanently associated with Rapelay and swap.avi, my past of mocking hentai games and weird pornos has given me an eccentric uncle. He's the sort that travels to exotic places and brings back oddities like shrunken heads and tiger penises that you would absolutely never want in your house. His name is Peter Payne and he is the proprietor of J-List.
They don't really advertise with us anymore, but Peter still frequently sends me things I have no use for and don't want in an effort to get me to review them. A few years back he sent me an entire series of figurines of anime girls that were combined with WWII airplanes. Not riding in them, they were physically integrated into the airplanes.
Last week he sent me the most dire box of oddities yet. Beginning to feel bad about him sending me stuff and me never writing any articles about it, I resolved to turn that around.
I set the box on my kitchen counter. I began my dig through and discovered a copy of My Girlfriend is the President, a hentai game that could not possibly live up to the high bar set by its title. I don't review hentai games anymore, although I would have made an exception if this one actually included Obama or any real political figures. Alas, it appeared it did not.
My next discoveries were various Popin' Cookin' kits. These are like do-it-yourself candy factories where you pour powders into molds and make various candies that sometimes look like other foods like sushi or donuts. I was familiar with the idea from one of the numerous Youtube videos, so I figured I would start with this.
I took a look at the instructions on the package. I can't read Japanese, but I figured it couldn't be too hard.
I poured one powder in one mold. The other powder in the other mold.
I added some water. Wait. I think I was supposed to swirl them first. Oh well, I added the candy to the top. I think you are supposed to make suckers out of the resulting goop, but I could not find any sticks and I used way too much water and it was really soupy. If you have kids and you want to teach them how to make unhealthy food out of chemicals this is the perfect gift.
Dispirited, I grabbed my lunch, a Whopper, and continued the search through the box. The next item Peter Payne thought I would have some use for an odd spray bottle he included.
I didn't know what it was so I scoured the J-List website and came across this:
That's right, it's a spray containing female pheromones that "reproduces the smell of a hot female having sweaty sex."
This is your typical consumer model throne. If you just want a cheap prop, it's fine. If you want to actually sit like a king, pony up the cash and get yourself a prosumer model. This entry level stuff is more for a duke or baron at best.
Do you wish to know what computers will be doing in the year to come? With a sigh I shall exert the minimal effort it takes to reveal all. Feel free to print out these predictions and share them with your friends via fax.

Ridley Scott has never been one to cushion the blow when it comes to sticking it to modern consumerist society. From "Blade Runner" to "Thelma & Louise," "Black Hawk Down" to "American Gangster," the diseases of so-called civilization become exposed in tableaux of greed, discontent and a cunningly concealed sadism.
Against resplendent sets and lit by gorgeous lighting, Scott's characters often wallow in violence — by choice or otherwise — with no way out except through more violence, preferably stylish and rife with innuendo. Scott's depictions of modern society are fraught with double entendres: The outer layer is thickly coated with abundance and power; peel it back and we see the rotting dreck underneath. The genius of the man is that he makes it all so entertaining, so visually rewarding.
Scott's latest to land on these shores is "Robin Hood," whom you may know as the proto-punk rebel who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, making his own point about consumerism.
The year is 1199. King Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston) is on the last leg of his disastrous Crusades campaign. For 10 years, he's been absent from the throne, leaving his mom, Dowager Queen Eleanor (Eileen Atkins), in charge of an increasingly ailing nation and a git of a younger brother named John (Oscar Isaac) — now old enough to bed the leggy niece of the French King and wreak havoc on England's honor. Not that the Lionheart could be bothered about homeland stuff; he has his hands full pillaging and plundering his way back to Dover.
|out of 5
|Ridley Scott
|Run Time
|140 minutes
|Opens Dec. 10, 2010
Among his weary men is Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) — short on title but blessed with brains and brawn. When Richard is killed, Robin and his buddies Little John (Kevin Durand) and Will Scarlet (Scott Grimes) keep that information secret, pass themselves off as Richard's aides and makes it across the Channel before the rest of the army.
"I've had it with war and the Royals," grunts Robin, in much the same tone as a modern London demonstrator saying he's had enough of pay cuts and the hype over Prince William's wedding.
In Scott's stories, history has a way of repeating itself, or rather, a way of reminding us of the current soup we're in. Even as far back as "Blade Runner" (1982), the world had been taken over by a corporation specializing in genetic modification. And now in "Robin Hood," unsustainable-lifestyle woes are combined with recession despair as the fate of England goes on the fast track to obliteration. The landed gentry have grown old and feeble. The newly crowned King John has no sense and no ideas, other than to raise taxes. Farms are overrun by thieves and marauders. Who else is there to save the country but Robin Hood and his band of merry men?
Crowe's take on Robin is a masterful blend of Earth Day hippie plus ferocious training at an L.A. gym. Unpretentious and excessively macho, Robin doesn't say much, but when he takes off that medieval chain mail to reveal a perfectly buffed torso, you're going to want to listen to every single word.
Like any Hollywood hero, Crowe's Robin has issues. Childhood trauma for one (his dad up and left when Robin was a tender 7 years old); the feeling that he's destined for greater things than mere foot-soldiering for another. He also wants to give to the people and the community, and to live in nature without unjust taxation from an idiotic government. We hear you, man. This Robin feels so close and familiar, you expect him to walk down to the local pub for an organic beer and a veggie burger.
It seems only fair that a comely brunette such as Lady Marian Loxley (Cate Blanchett) should succumb to Robin's charms. Her husband was one of the unfortunates who died out in France after leaving her to a state of virtual widowhood for a full decade. Though she's dedicated to her blind father-in-law Sir Walter Loxley (played by Max von Sydow on top form), at this point in her life Marian is lonely and overworked, and she can't even blog about it.
"I was an old maid even before I got married," says Marian to Robin defensively, but she also makes it sound like an invitation. "You have to ask me nicely," says Robin, and he makes male arrogance seem irresistibly sexy.
You can see where the relationship is going many minutes before the final showdown, in which Robin takes on an entire French naval fleet practically by himself, and Marian swoons with admiration and ardor. Ah, those were the days — when one hippie guy on a fast horse could make a whole lot of difference.

Colleagues of the late Sen. Martin Nesbitt are planning to gather in western North Carolina to bid the lawmaker farewell and honor his legacy representing mountain constituents.
Nesbitt's funeral was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at a Baptist church in Buncombe County. He died last Thursday from stomach cancer at age 67.
Members of both parties have praised the Asheville Democrat for a more than 30-year legislative career in which he was Senate majority leader and a top budget writer in the House. He relinquished the post of Senate minority leader three days before he died.
Nesbitt was the primary voice in the Senate opposing the legislature's Republican-dominated agenda.
Current minority leader and former House Speaker Dan Blue was expected to speak at the funeral. The burial is private.

State Sen. Martin Nesbitt, who this week stepped down as minority leader because of illness, has died. He was 67.
Senate Democratic Caucus Director Ford Porter said Nesbitt died Thursday after being diagnosed last week with stomach cancer.
It was on Wednesday that a group of well-wishers lined a road near Interstate 40 to welcome the Asheville lawmaker home. He arrived back home in an ambulance.
Nesbitt had served in the Legislature since the early 1980s. He became majority leader in 2009 when Democrats controlled the Senate and after Sen. Tony Rand left the Legislature. He became minority leader in 2011 when Republicans took over the chamber.
A statement from the state Democratic Party said North Carolina has lost a leader and champion of exemplary and distinguished public service.

WARNING - What U are about 2 read has no nutritional value whatsoever. Nor duz it have any other redeeming qualities. In fact, I recommend that U stop reading this right now, B4 U have anymore invested in it. Just some friendly advice. I know how
U all are, and I certainly wouldn't want 2 be the cause of any of Ur precious time being squandered. I don't really say much this time around anyway.Mostly I just talk shit and bag on a retard. I could probably do better if I applied myself. I don't even make any headway 2wards getting in PrincessKissy's panties, and that iz pretty much becoming a full-time fucking job 4 me. It sure will be nice when I finally get paid 4 that job, BTW...
I wuzn't going 2 do this. I mean write another blog simply 4 the purpose of remaining on the main page. Then I noticed who it wuz that knocked me off the main page and thought 2 myself, 'Fuck that shit!' I really would rather that someone post pics of me blowing

Of course, the only drawback iz now I am on top of her, and that just gives me the willies. Makes me skin crawl it duz! Maybe if I just close my eyes and pretend I am at a tractor pull or a Celine Dion concert or something. Or the dentist...yeah, the dentist! No, wait...dentist's have assistants, and those assistants tends 2 have big titties, and they rub them all up on U and shit...no, that won't work...I know! I will just imagine I am fucking her! That should do the trick! OMG...it's working! It's like some kind of Anti-Viagra or something (
side effects may include but are not limited 2 headaches, backaches, nausea, uncontrollable flatulance, explosive and uncontrollable bouts of diarrhea, double vision, hair loss and possible death. If these or any other symptoms persist 4 more than six weeks, please consult Ur family mortician
) Oh shit...I think I'm going 2 throw up...Oh GOD! That probably turns her on! Jesus Christ being buttfucked by Budda, what the hell am I gonna do now?

Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Partition properties are perhaps the most fruitful of the various methods for defining and discussing large cardinals in set theory. In this paper we weaken in a natural way the most well known of these partition properties and examine the extent to which the cardinals defined remain ``large."
