Broadcast Quality
The broadcast quality setting is in the upper right corner of the Mic/Webcam buttons. Be aware that higher quality will consume more bandwidth for each of your users.
Approximate bandwidth usage per setting:
- VoIP/Audio
- Low – 10-20 Kbps
- Regular – 15-30 Kbps
- High – 25-45 Kbps
- Webcam/Video
- Low: 60-100 Kbps
- Medium: 80-120 Kbps
- High: 120-240 Kbps
VoIP Troubleshooting
- Do you have a headset with a mic hooked up to your computer? Are you sure it works?
- Did you go through the mic setup process?
- Do you have a good browser? We recommend Firefox or Chrome. We've already seen a couple instances where upgrading the browser fixed the problem.
Adjusting Volume
There are 3 ways to adjust your mic volume when using Vyew.
- In Vyew: Click on the microphone icon, next to your name in the userlist near the top right of Vyew. Adjust the volume slider or mute.
- In Flash Settings: Right click anywhere on an open Vyew Room, click on Settings…. In the Adobe Flash Player Settings box, click on the Microphone tab. Adjust the slider, using the green volume meter, then click Close.
- Flash Volume Settings
- In your operating system:
- In Windows 7: Click Start -> Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording tab. Double click on the default recording device, then on the Levels tab. Adjust the volume and Microphone Boost sliders. Click OK.
- In Windows XP: Click Start -> Control Panel -> Sound and Audio -> Audio tab. In the Voice Recording section, for the default device, click on the Volume button. With the slider, adjust the microphone volume. Click OK.
- Win XP microphone volume
- In Mac OSX: In Finder, click Applications -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Input tab. Select the correct input device and adjust the Input Volume.
I Can't Broadcast Sound
This usually means your microphone device is not properly selected.
- Bring up the Adobe Flash Settings box by right clicking (control+click on Mac) anywhere inside a Vyew Room and selecting Settings….
- Go to the Microphone tab.
- Do you see any Microphone device in the dropdown menu?
- YES: Continue to step 5.
- NO: Your sound card is not properly installed or drivers for the mic device are not setup. Fixing this is beyond the scope of this document. Try googling it or ask your local techie.
- There is a sound level indicator (the vertical green bar in the example above) which should be jumping up and down when you speak into your mic. If not, click to expand the Microphone dropdown menu. Is there more than one device listed?
- YES: Try selecting a different mic device as you talk into your mic to see if the sound level moves. If you find the correct one and you see the sound level moving, you are done. Vyew VOIP will work now. If not, continue to step 6.
- NO: Continue to step 6.
- The correct mic devices are probably not selected by your sound card/driver. Take note of the Mic device that initially appears in the Microphone dropdown in the Flash Player Settings, then…
- For Windows…
- In Windows XP, go to Start button -> Control Panel -> Sound and Audio Devices -> Audio tab -> Sound Recording section.
- In Windows 7, go to Start button -> Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording tab.
- Verify which device is selected as default. It should match what was selected in the Flash Player Settings.
- Win XP and Flash audio devices match
- For Mac…
- From Finder, click Applications -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Input tab.
- Choose the device that was selected in the Flash Player Settings. Make sure it's Input Volume is maximized.
- For Linux…
- Similar to Windows and Mac, verify that the default input device for your system is the same one that was primarily selected by Flash. Make sure nothing is muted and volume levels are at or close to 100%.
- For Windows…
- Try a different mic/headset device, maybe there is problem with your mic device.
- After changing/checking all the above settings, try restarting your browser.
- Still doesn't work? Please contact Vyew Supportand convey this information:
- What were the results of each of the above tests?
- What is your operating system and browser/version?
- What type of sound card do you have? What microphone device is selected?
- Does your mic work for any other software online? Like skype?
I Can't Hear Any Sound
- Try your speakers on a YouTube video. Do they work?
- YES: If your speakers work with YouTube, they should also work with Vyew. Please contact support if this is the case.
- NO: Make sure you speakers are on and plugged in to the right jack. Make sure your computer sound card is recognized. Fixing this issue is beyond the scope of this document, you'll need to contact someone who knows how to fix it.
My Sound is Choppy or Drops Out
There could be a couple of reasons for choppy sound:
- For the person talking, their computer and/or bandwidth is too slow.
- For the person talking, their microphone may be broken or have sensitivity issues.
- For the person listening, their computer and/or bandwidth is too slow.
- Internet congestion.
- Something is wrong with Vyew VoIP servers.
Let's try to isolate the problem.
- Which computer? Try getting a 3rd person in the room. Is it choppy for all listeners? If so, there's a good chance its a problem with the computer of the person talking.
- Check the Microphone: Go to the browser test page, perform the Microphone Test, and see if it's choppy during recording/playback. Try a different mic– your current may be broken, or may be too sensitive and overloading the signal. Try adjusting the mic input in your operating system's sound mixer or in the Adobe Flash Player Settings dialog box.
- Check the Bandwidth: Try playing a YouTube video, is it choppy on playback? If so, your bandwidth is suffering. If you're on WiFi, try a wired connection. If broadcasting, try reducing your broadcast quality.
- Check the CPU:
- On Windows…
- Click the Start button (then Run… in XP), type "taskmgr" and press ENTER.
- Click on the Performancetab in the Task Manager.
- On Mac…
- In Finder, open Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor, then click on the CPU tab.
- The CPU Usage graph shows how hard the CPU is working. While keeping this window open, try speaking with someone in a Vyew room over VoIP. If the CPU usage graph spikes to 100% during speaking or listening, then this means your computer is too slow to handle it.
Still can't figure it out? Contact us with your problem and specify all the different methods you tried to solve or isolate the problem.
- On Windows…
How to Use VoIP (Talk button)
The VOIP (Push To Talk Button) utilizes Adobe Flash's built-in audio codec to send audio from your computer mic to the headset of anyone in your meeting room.
Allowing Flash to access your Microphone
The first time you use VoIP, you will be asked to allow Flash access to your mic. See this troubleshooting guide for more information.
Duplex Audio
Up to 4 people can use their mics at the same time, but everyone in your room will be able to hear. Anyone else will have to wait for one person to turn off their mic before they will be able to use theirs.
Quality Settings
If some of your meeting attendees experience audio drop outs, garbled sound, or distortion, try stopping your mic, changing to a lower quality setting, then resuming.
Approximate bandwidth usage for VoIP:
- Low – 10-20 Kbps
- Regular – 15-30 Kbps
- High – 25-45 Kbps
Setting Up Your Mic and Webcam
- The video conferencing system built in to Vyew uses a standard webcam.
First test your settings
- Make sure your headset and webcam are plugged in, then go to Vyew's browser test page. There, your browser will be tested for Adobe Flash 10.2+, which is required.
Did the Flash test fail? Don't see the mic and webcam tests? You must install Flash from Adobe's web site. It's a good idea to reboot your computer after doing so.
- If you have Flash installed, you will see two tests, Test Microphone and Test WebCam. Click those and you will be prompted to record a small portion of audio or video, and it will be played back to you.
If the Microphone and Webcam Test worked, you are ready use the Webcam and VOIP in a Vyew Meeting.
Still have problems?
- Please see Opening firewall ports for Vyew.
- See our VoIP Troubleshooting Guide and our Webcam Troubleshooting Guide.
Communication Methods – Overview
If the communications side bar is minimized, click anywhere on it to open.
Four Methods of Communication
- Webcam – Up to 4 users can simultaneously broadcast their webcam image to everyone in the room.
- Built-in VoIP (Voice over IP) – Up to 4 users can simultaneously broadcast their headset mic to speak and listen to each other.
- Conference Call – Each user can dial into the free conference call phone number; regular long-distance charges may apply.
- Chat – Chat with everyone in your meeting, or initiate private chats with individual attendees.
Pros and Cons of Each Method
- Pros: Easier and faster if users have their webcam options set. Ideal if a small number of people are giving a presentation to a large number of people.
- Cons: Only 4 users can broadcast simultaneously, so if more people want to webcam, they have to wait their turn. Mac OSX can sometimes be finicky about webcam setup.
- Don't use the webcam if some of your users have slow internet.
Built-in VoIP
- Pros: Easier and faster if users have their headset mic and sound options set. Good for users outside of the U.S. who cannot call into the conference call. Ideal if a small number of people are giving a presentation to a large number of people (the audience chat their questions and comments, while presenters use VoIP).
- Cons: If one of the users only has speakers, or a loud headset, or a faulty sound configuration, it may cause an echo. Only 4 users can talk simultaneously, so if more people want to talk, they have to wait their turn.
- Don't use VoIP if:
- Some of your users have slow internet.
- You need more than 4 people to talk simultaneously during a meeting.
- Any of the users who want to talk do not have a headset mic.
Conference Calling
- Pros: Supports 100 callers simultaneously, or some can be muted. You don't have to worry about headsets and sound configurations for all users.
- Cons: Users need to have access to a phone be able to call long distance. Long distance charges may apply.
- Pros: Easy, requires no setup. Has the ability to address all users at once, or individual users privately.
- Cons: Not as immediate as VoIP or the Conference Call, especially with users who cannot type fast.
Using Skype
Skype is a free online Voice over IP (VoIP) system which you can use to call anyone in the world. The only downside is that each person needs to install the Skype software. Vyew does not directly integrate with Skype, but you can use Skype in conjunction with Vyew by initiating a Skype and Vyew meeting at the same time.

Or, official hiking shoe museum garden path snail poster. Or, cat fortune house laboratory hiking shoe.
Today's temperate silliness has been inspired by a webpage by Charles H. Bennett. As Bennett notes, English speakers can create arbitarily long and yet meaningful chains of nouns even when starting from just a handful of appropriate words. Bennett gives an example of 2 noun loops of 5-4 words joined in a figure 8. Here is my example of 3 joined noun loops of 5-2-5 words.
You can start at any word and go in either direction to obtain a meaningful sentence of any number of words. Admittedly, some sentences may be a bit more meaningful than others, but none is grammatically wrong. Note that the word official, both a noun and an adjective, adds more variety to the endless possibilities.

my daughter sucks on her hands and fingers too much!
My daughter is 3 mos old and will rarely use a pacifier. She prefers to suck on her hands instead, which I'm ok with except that they stay wet a lot and seem to be getting little blisters once in awhile. I am constantly drying them off and removing the fuzz between her fingers, basically every 2 hours when I feed her. I will bring this up at her next doctor's appt, but in the meantime: Has anyone else had this problem? How did you keep your child's skin from getting yucky and did you use anything to treat blisters?

an update for anyone else who might have a similar problem - she is now 4 1/2 mos and now that her hands are slightly bigger they dry out faster and she also sucks on them less as we have taught her to hold different items. definitely giving her stuff to hold has helped. so she doesn't get the sore spots in between fingers at all any more! i guess we just needed some toys and some time!posted 12/12/2012 by greengirl76
Ooops. I thought you said 3 YEARS old, not 3 MONTHS old. Blame my pregnancy brain. At three months, not much you can do about it other than giving her a toy to suck on.posted 12/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter had this problem and it was easily solved with a brand new bottle of pink glitter nail polish. Whenever she sucked on her hands I would take off the nail polish. She wanted her fingernails to be pretty more than she wanted to suck on her hands. It took less than a week. Of course now we have 20+ bottles of nail polish in all colors, but it was worth it.posted 12/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My baby sucks on his hands all the time. I actually end up drying them probably every 10 minutes rather than every two hours. Sometimes I dry them even more often. I'd recommend giving her toys or blankets to grab to keep her hands occupied. As she gets bigger she will put these in her mouth as well, so her hands will be in there less. Try toys that are easy to grab or light weight blankets that are easy for her to grab and try doing different activities with her that keep her hands out of her mouth.posted 11/05/2012 by sarahklwilson

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
New Frontiers in Spinal Cord Injury Research
Feb. 4, 2000 (Cleveland) -- On Sunday, Jan. 30, 2000, the largest television audience of the millennium watched as the actor Christopher Reeve, a quadriplegic since an accident in 1995, rose from his chair and walked to a podium to accept an award. The very same day that Reeve's computer-generated image shocked Super Bowl fans, seven spinal cord injury patients really were rising from their wheelchairs and standing on their own two feet.
Those seven patients, all with injuries at the base of the neck or lower, are participants in a study of functional electrical stimulation (FES) implants being developed at the Cleveland FES Center. The National Spinal Cord Statistical Center estimates there are between 7,600 and 10,000 new spinal cord injuries in the U.S. each year, a number that drives research efforts on all fronts.
Last month a team of British researchers reported that they had restored limb function and sensation in rats with nerve damage by administering proteins that promote nerve growth directly into the injured areas. These findings are very preliminary and as yet are only used in animal experiments, but may mean hope for the future for people paralyzed due to spinal cord injury.
At the University of Massachusetts Medical School, a team led by Charles A. Vacanti, MD, took immature spinal cells from adult rats, induced them to grow, and then implanted them in the gap of the severed spinal cords of paralyzed rats. The paralyzed animals began to move, although this movement was limited.
Meanwhile, a multinational team of researchers report they have identified the "nogo" gene, a gene scientists say may block regrowth of nerves and requires further study to determine if something can be developed to counteract it.
And all of that comes in just the first month of the new year. The scientists working at the Cleveland FES Center say it looks like a very good year.
The center, founded in 1998, is a joint endeavor of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, the Edison Biotechnology Center, MetroHealth of Cleveland, and the Cleveland VA Medical Center. Its work is funded by a number of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, as well as grants from the Whitaker Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Paralyzed Veterans of America, and the State of Ohio.

Easter weekend
Friday, March 29, 2013
This being Easter weekend, if I were home, there would be a ton of baking done! Ever since I was a kid this was "the" holiday for eating, even more so than Thanksgiving. On this weekend we would do the baking of cream pies, rice pies, ricotta pies, wheat pies and apizza gain (Italian meat pie). The apizza gain is really the only pie that is ok on a healthy eating plan if you watch your portions. It really is just a mixture of diced ham, eggs, basket cheese, romano cheese and all baked in a pepper dough crust. It is tradionally eaten for breakfast on Easter morning but then at any time thereafter. Usually we have leftovers for dinner.
The Italian Cream pie is made with egg yolks, sugar, milk and vanilla which makes the cream part and then a sweet crust. I subbed the sugar with Splenda and this is for Easter dessert. I don't make the other pies anymore as there is just too much food and too many sweets.
Hey can you see my mouth watering just thinking about all these goodies!!
I'm making hard boiled eggs but don't have coloring here but when I get home, I'm going to color some. I always bring these to my parents as no one colors eggs anymore. I think my Dad really gets a kick out of them although he won't admit that he loves them.
Easter dinner is spiral sliced ham, potatoes and sometimes sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli casserole and other assorted veggies. Dinner rolls and salad finish off the meal.
Since I am away, Easter will be postponed till I get home and can have it with my daughter and parents. (It's ok that my parents also have it on the correct day with my sister and her family) Sometimes you just have to keep the traditions going or celebrations end and become like any other day. It's important to me to keep them alive and although my daughter doesn't cook the traditional foods, I think she really enjoys when we are together and have them. Perhaps after I am gone, she will pick them up but if not, she will have her memories.
My daughter did learn how to make the sweet Easter braided bread. It is her contrabution to the meal and I appreciate it because I know it is a lot of work. It's one bread that comes out better when you do the kneading by hand instead of using a bread machine.
I think the hardest part of the weekend is not eating the finished product until Sunday. You look at it and want it but can't touch it!
I wish you all a very Happy Easter weekend. Remember your own traditions and pass them on. It's nice to be modern but never forget the past, they were good times too!!

My Easter meal is away from family (they live in MA and hubby and I live in FL) so we are eating lamb chops and scalloped potatoes. Yours sounds real good. I miss the pasta dishes and ham from home but don't have enough people to justify cooking that big of a meal.
Happy Easter!

Mmmmmmm. It all sound so good.
Since you will wait to have your Easter dinner when you're home - what will you do on the actual day?
We have a traditional Easter dinner: ham, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls. I haven't yet decided on dessert.
I hope you enjoy your Easter on Sunday and then the one you'll have later on.

The city of Leeds is the cultural and financial center of West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. Leeds is the third largest city area in the UK and has a population of nearly 3 million in the region. Leeds has grown in popularity in the tourist industry and has around 1.5 million overnight visitors and over 10 million that visit for the day. With a wealth of attractions, shopping areas, bars and restaurants there is no shortage of entertainment. Throughout the year the city also hosts festivals such as Leeds Festival and Party in the Park. Venturing outside of Leeds city you will find yourself in the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire where you can take in the countryside and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Leeds city is spread over a very large area and so if you wish to spend some time exploring the city and the surrounding area then many tourists and visitors choose to hire a car for the duration or at least part of their stay. Being such a large and popular city there is no shortage of international and national car rental firms based there and usually in several different locations. To save yourself time and effort, and also often save you money, booking your car hire online is an ideal way to secure you the vehicle that you need. Booking online is simple and quick and the Internet means that you can really shop around for the best deals available to you. Once booked you can arrange a pick up point, date and time. Once your car hire is arranged you can then plan your exploration of Leeds and how to best utilise your visit to see all it has to offer.

We have been so lucky that we have chosen Ski Blanc now for over 5 years and I have to say you have some very special people working with you going the extra mile to make your clients happy. Everything from the daily meals to the delicious birthday cake and of course helping our injured freind at the end of the holiday, they really couldn't have… Read Full Review

I was at the Chalet Foehn 24-31 Jan 09. I have to say that our ski holiday was just perfect, from great snow to the fantastic Staff of Ski Blanc. From our arrival to the very last minute we spent there the staff were just superb. Our chalet hosts were just out of this world nothing was a problem to them considering we were a party of 13 with a mixed age from 1to 50 they looked after one and all brilliantly. The Managers were fantastic form my early email requests, nothing was a problem They… Read Full Review

Ski Blanc were excellent and their staff are more mature than the young guns who like to work up in Meribel itself. We had 2 excellent Aussie girls in a Chalet of 8. Friends in Meribel (with Crystal- beware !) had a chalet of 10 with one 18 year old lad trying his best to cook for them with limited experience. Yes it is a distance from Meribel but they offered a fantastic bus service collecting us in the evening at any time we liked. If you want a late one in Meribel at Dick's Tea Bar then as… Read Full Review

We stayed at Meribel Les Allues Village Ski Blanc last year in January. It was a fabulous little bed and breakfast chalet that we found on a the Meribel-unplugged web site. At just 25 Euros each, and right near the piste and town centre. The Skiing was superb, especially the 3 valley trips we did. The mountain restaurants were also great value, again due to that web site and their local magazine. It's written by local workers, and is full of useful info. Get a copy when you arrive, or look at… Read Full Review

We had a lovely holiday at Meribel Les Allues Village in Jan 05. Although I am really just an advanced beginner, I found that there was only one really easy route back into the village, but by the end of the week I was using a couple of other routes, Having holidayed in Corchavel a couple of years ago I thought that had more easy slopes back into the resorts, but never the less Meribel is a magical place and there is plenty of fun to be had, on and off the Piste… Read Full Review

Les Allures is a lovely little village, but 2 gondola rides from Meribel village, so it does take about 20 mins to get up and down each day. There isn't much happening in town.
We had lovely hosts who cooked good solid meals (nothing gourment) and were very friendly.
However, the Skiblanc staff from the office were a nightmare. Plastered with a fake smile - they came and visited a couple of times asking whether we needed assistance. But when we actually needed help, they were clueness and… Read Full Review

Had a great holiday with Ski Blanc last March. Lovely food and great chalet hosts. The village of Les Allues is wonderful with a great little bar called La Tsaretta. The snow was excellent and the whole trois valleys is a huge area, you can ski different runs every day for weeks. Staying with Ski Blanc was great value and we probably saved £200 each by staying with them in Les Allues. The lift from there was never crowded and only takes about 10 mins. They also provided us with a minibus… Read Full Review

Ski Blanc:
Meribel is a fantastic ski & Snowboard resort with
Perfect links to the Courchevel & Val Thorens
Valleys. The snow generally was excellent and no lift queues for most of the time. Try to avoid 9.30-10.30 as this is when the ski schools all set off and they have lift priority.
A bit limited but one bar stood out. The Rond Point, on the way down from Saulire was the party venue every day with excellent rocking live bands playing 5pm-7pm.But get your beers in before 5pm and… Read Full Review

What are you most proud of? That it finally happened as we had such a hard time finding the pattern.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Hopefully they come out with a new pattern soon or you are good at making your own ( I am NOT!). After looking high and low my youngest daughter finally found the pattern in a box of old patterns in the basement of a church that has an inner city sewing group!

For the Indianapolis Colts, October 20 was a monumental day for many reasons. That was the day the Peyton Manning came back to Indianapolis to face his former teammates for the first time. That was also the day Reggie Wayne was injured, placing him on IR for the remainder of the season. The Colts anticipate Wayne's return to football activities to happen this month.
During that game, the Colts fought with determination and strength to overcome Manning and his Denver Broncos. It is ironic that a game with such a positive outcome could also cause a great deal of concern. When news hit that Wayne had torn his ACL, all hope was gone they he would return before next season.
Despite the inability to contribute on the field, Wayne remained a leader for the Colts. The veteran wide receiver could be spotted on the sidelines at the games, mentoring the players and cheering for his team. The Colts went on to not only clinch a playoff spot, but advance to the second round. Wayne could not have been happier for his team.
With the football season over, both the Colts and Wayne can concentrate on a forceful return. While the Colts are collecting players, Wayne has been busy sticking to a strenuous rehabilitation process which has him working two to three times per day.
According to Colts.com, Wayne is pleased to announce he is ahead of schedule concerning his return to football. He is expected to be cleared for football activities by April 25th.
"I feel great. I couldn't be happier that where I am right now. Everything seems to be going at a great rate" says Wayne.
With the addition of WR Hakeem Nicks and the return of Wayne, quarterback Andrew Luck will surely have a variety of targets in 2014.

I'm given a vector field that has an obvious singularity at a point $(a,b)$. In order to learn more about the singularity I place a circle around it with the singularity at it's center. The line integral for the field across the circle gives me $18\pi \,r$. What conclusion can I get from the solution to the line integral?

Here's how it works:

Do you mean "along the circle"? If so, the line integral tells you that the singularity is of the form $(-9y/r,9x/r$). The two-dimensional "curl" of that vector field is
$$ \def\part#1{\frac{\partial}{\partial #1}} \part x\frac{9x}r+\part y\frac{9y}r=\frac9r\;. $$
By Green's theorem, the integral of that curl over the interior of the circle is equal to the line integral along the circle, and indeed
$$\int_0^r\mathrm dr' r'\int_0^{2\pi}\mathrm d\phi\frac9{r'}=18\pi r\;.$$
(This is the solenoidal component of the field; the field may also have an irrotational component that doesn't contribute to the line integral.)

The Rock wrote the following on Twitter over the weekend:
Thank U @wwe Superstars for the awesome welcoming me back & getting the "big picture" plan. You're true locker room leaders! #RoadToMania
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) February 3, 2013
This is certainly a play on The Rock's detractors as he was criticized by some for his run last year which saw him make big money for a part-time run. The critics accused him of being "cold," doing his segments and not interacting with anyone backstage. The Rock responded by saying those people didn't understand the big picture.
I've never read too much into the criticism and felt it was more jealousy than anything else. This type of thing has followed Rock every time he's worked for WWE since having success as an actor, including when he returned to induct his father and grandfather into the Hall of Fame in 2008.

CHICAGO — When promoting your business' "green" practices, be mindful that the FTC Act gives the Federal Trade Commission the power to bring law enforcement actions against false or misleading marketing claims, including environmental or "green" marketing claims.
The FTC has issued the Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims ("Green Guides") to prevent the false or misleading use of environmental terms in product or service advertising and marketing and to reduce consumer confusion.
From the FTC website, here is the Commission's staff's view of the law's requirements:
Substantiation — All marketers making express or implied claims about the attributes of their product, package or service must have substantiation—a reasonable basis for their claims. When it comes to environmental claims, competent and reliable scientific evidence may be required.
Specificity — Environmental claims should not exaggerate or overstate attributes or benefits. Comparative environmental claims should be clear to avoid consumer confusion about what is being compared.
General Claims — Specific environmental claims are easier to substantiate than general claims and less likely to be deceptive. An unqualified general claim of environmental benefit may convey that the product has far-reaching environmental benefits, when it doesn't.
Products advertised as "environmentally preferable" are likely to convey to consumers an environmental superiority to other products. A broad claim like that would be deceptive if the manufacturer cannot substantiate it. The claim would not be deceptive if it is accompanied by clear and prominent qualifying language that limits the environmental superiority representation to the particular product attribute that can be substantiated.
Eco-Seals, Seals of Approval and Certifications — Environmental seals of approval, eco-seals and certifications from third-party organizations imply that a product is environmentally superior to other products or services. Because such broad claims are difficult to substantiate, seals of approval should be accompanied by information that explains the basis for the award. If the seal implies that a third party has certified the product, the certifying party must be truly independent from the advertiser and have the appropriate professional expertise.

I just installed a new icon theme on my laptop (ubuntu 13.04). Unfortunately, nautilus/files (version 3.6.3) keeps showing the wrong folder icons (from the Humanity-Theme). As far as I can tell, every other icon is correctly displayed (even folder shortcuts in the dash).
I already restarted the system and copied the icon theme from
~/.icons to
/usr/share/icons - without any effects. Since the icon theme works 100% perfectly on my desktop machine, I can tell for sure, that the theme is not broken.
Any ideas?

In a movie universe filled with Tammy, Sex Tape and yet another go around of Transformers, one would think that Hollywood's slow crawl toward mediocrity officially morphed into a mad dash. Not so. And we have filmmaker Richard Linklater to thank.
With Boyhood (**** out of four/Rated R), the writer/director who sired the rich, dialogue-driven Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset/ Before Midnight trilogy creates a cinematic masterpiece that unravels with sublime grace and haunting realism. As courageous as it is breathtaking, the offering hearkens back to the thing that originally attracted the masses into the screening room in the glory days of the late 1960s and early 1970s: real "cinema." We could argue for eons about when the vast majority of film experiences ceased being an "experience" and just another two hours to numb out before heading onto another mind-numbing experience in the real world. The point is this: Works of art this profound and moving are rare. Best to dip our psyche into them when we can.
Shot in sequence over the course of 12 years, and filming three to four days each year—think about that undertaking for a moment because only an artist would dare to "go there"—the filmmaker chronicles the life and maturation of a Texas boy, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), from age 7 through 19. Mason and his sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the filmmaker's daughter) live with their divorced mother Olivia (Patricia Arquette in fine form) and enjoy occasional visits from their artistic father, Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke, a Linklater alum). The ripple effects of the parents' estrangement are felt by both of the children and "over the years," we witness a subtle stunted emotional development; a kind of deadening of the soul if you will, even though both Mason and Samantha employ the same adolescent cravings as their peers.
My, the human condition can be haunting but, oh, is it ever refreshing to see a set of lives blossom and deplete and shift and endure without the slather of a frightened producer's manipulation.
"People acted as if it would be scary," Hawke noted of the shoot-it-in-12-years concept in a recent interview. "It was such a good idea."
Meanwhile Arquette admitted that the first time she was told about the idea, "I felt that the sky opened up. I was so excited about the concept. [The film business] is such a 'banking' business at this point. I thought, 'how are you going to finance something 13 years ahead of time?'"
And without a traditional script to boot. Linklater's concept grew, for the most part, organically and mostly from his own intuition. Each sequence we see—each year in Mason's life—has have its own feel. There are times when some life events are more challenging for Mason to move through—Olivia's penchant for attracting unstable men for instance—while others give us a glimpse of his interests (photography) and the philosophical soul he seems to becoming. Surprisingly, Hawke's Mason Sr.—the "unstable" father—emerges as the most emotionally stable of the bunch here and mostly because the character knows who he is and does not apologize for it. The others, especially Olivia, grapple to find something on the outside to satisfy the emptiness and confusion inside. There's a delicious line toward the end of the film which I dare not give away but most of us can relate to Olivia's conundrum.
But make no mistake: Ultimately, we're here for Mason, and while most movies have a beginning, middle and end—and most scenes for that matter—Boyhood presents something different and far more authentic. As Mason grows, so, too, does our emotional investment in him. Think of how you, yourself, feel about those to whom you are the most closest. Watching Boyhood evokes similar feelings. In many ways, Mason is ours—to cherish, to worry about, to question. We're befuddled when we have to leave him in the end and curiously craving some more time with him.
That's quite a feat for Linklater and the overall experience we're left with is a kind of wildly fascinating labyrinth filled with soulful rumination. Boyhood is not just one of the best films of the year—it is one of the finest film experiences of the last decade.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - For the second straight day, the University of North Florida swimming and diving team defeated both opponents in a tri meet. The Ospreys posted a 196.00-31.00 victory over South Georgia College and a 180.00-61.00 win over Radford on Saturday afternoon at the UNF Aquatic Center.

In the final individual event of the afternoon, North Florida swept the 100 breaststroke. Woods, England and McCallum finished in order for the Ospreys. Woods notched a 1:09.68, followed by England's 1:11.89 and McCallum's 1:12.06.

Freshman Sarah Fredericksen topped the field twice and junior Skye Hickling posted a second place finish as Radford Swimming and Diving split a tri-meet with North Florida and South Georgia College on Saturday afternoon from the UNF Aquatic Center.
Fredericksen posted victories in the 1000 freestyle and the 100 butterfly, touching the wall at 11:01.07 and 1:00.53, respectively. It moved the rookie's victory total to eight, which includes her fourth triumph in the 1000.
Hickling posted a score of 260.85 on the 3-meter board, earning her third runner-up and fifth top-2 finish this season. She place fourth in a very competitive 1-meter board as 7.15 points separated first from fifth.

Radford remains in the Sunshine State and will face CCSA foe Florida Gulf Coast on Monday, Jan. 7 at 3:00 p.m.

I'm basking in charisma when your gesture commands
I'm shaking your over-shaken hand
So when will the faces of the people we all see
Above the headlines resemble somebody like me?
His collar's whiter than his skin like predesecors past
He got no check on the ballot I cast
Debating on nothing good for us
It's over, who needs your fuckin' trust
I'm asking for charisma and I see you're like the rest
Telling me to fuck off; who'd ever guess?
Here's smoke up your ass

It didn't take long for the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame committee to make one of their selections for the 2013 class of inductees. The choice was quick and unanimous.
In his first year of eligibility, former New Orleans Saints kicker Morten Andersen will head a class of three inductees in the Hall of Fame on Saturday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, a venue he became intimately familiar with during his 25 years in the NFL.
Andersen spent his first 13 years with the Saints in a career that spanned from 1982 to 2007. He was cut by the Saints prior to training camp in 1995, and spent 12 more seasons in the league with the Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.
Andersen is also a member of the Saints Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame. In time, it's possible he could be one of the few specialists to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Denmark native was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL draft. He earned seven Pro Bowl berths and was a three-time first-team All-Pro, before being selected to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 1980s and 1990s.
He made 565 of 709 field-goal attempts (79.7 percent), and 849 of 859 PATs.
Joining Andersen in the 2013 class is Rodney Holman and Tony Reginelli.
Holman was a star tight end at Tulane who set a school record for his position of 135 catches for 1,512 yards. He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1982 NFL draft, and spent 14 seasons in the league with the Bengals and the Detroit Lions. He finished his career with 365 receptions for 4,771 yards and 36 touchdowns.
Former Isidore Newman coach Reginelli spent 25 years at the school from 1968-93. His teams had a 203-63 record, winning 76.3 percent of their contests. He is one of five New Orleans coaches to win more than 200 games in his career.
His final game was also quarterback Peyton Manning's final prep game, a 39-28 loss to Northeast in the 1993 Class 2A regional state playoffs.
Two local jockeys will also be honored at Saturday's banquet.
Three-time Kentucky Derby winner Calvin Borel has been named the Louisiana Professional Athlete of the Year. It's been a banner year for the St. Martin Parish native, who earned his 5,000th win in March and was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame on Friday.
He finished third in the 2013 Kentucky Derby aboard Revolutionary.
Three-time Fair Grounds leading rider Rosie Napravnik, who won 125 races at the track last season, has been named the Greater New Orleans Professional Athlete of the Year.
Napravnik, 25, has won 177 races this year with earnings of more than $8.5 million. She finished fifth in the Kentucky Derby and third in the Preakness aboard Mylute, both record placings for a female jockey.
The full list of honorees is below:
Morten Andersen, Hall of Fame Inductee
Rodney Holman, Hall of Fame Inductee
Tony Reginelli, Hall of Fame Inductee
Aaron Nola, Corbett Award Winner
Ron Gearing, Eddie Robinson Award Winner

Gotye somebody that we used to know, say former bandmates from The Basics
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- February 16, 2013
JUST before there was electronic pop artist Gotye, there was the rock band The Basics and he was their drummer.
As Wally De Backer collected three historic Grammys in Los Angeles on Monday, his proud bandmates Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath were hopeful some of that Midas touch would rescue their music from indie obscurity.
Both men suspected The Basics were no more after the band finished a national tour in 2010 and announced an indefinite hiatus as Gotye began work on his award-winning album Making Mirrors.
"It was more important to foster each other's talents and support each other rather than some notion of this is the band and this is Gotye but they were on parallel paths,'' Schroeder said.
Schroeder relocated to Kenya 18 months ago to work with the Red Cross while Heath formed a new band called Blood Red Bird and worked in film production.
The Basics are back this week with the release of two collections - Ingredients, the hits and Leftover, the rarities - to commemorate the band's 10-year career.
Some of the archival material was recorded in the same barn on the De Backer family farm on the Mornington Peninsula where Gotye's albums took shape.
"We were the guinea pigs for the Gotye barn and now it's a nice studio and a bed and breakfast,'' Schroeder said from Kenya.
"Back then it was cold and cobweb-y but it was a step up from a garage because it had a toilet.''
Schroeder jokes that he is responsible for De Backer's casual suit and tie look which became the uniform of The Basics for most of their photo shoots and live performances.
"If you saw a photo of Wally way back when in his basketball shorts and backward cap _ there's some shockers and now he's all suited up so at least I taught him how to dress himself,'' Schroeder joked.
There is a certain irony in Gotye's global domination being spearheaded by a video in which he is nude except for bodypaint.
De Backer and his bandmates appear naked in the video for their indie hit With This Ship which was released back in early 2009.
With This Ship - The Basics
"When we did the shoot for that video, Tim and I had to get outrageously drunk while Wally was stone cold sober,'' Schroeder said.
Heath added: "I was huddled in the corner nursing a Jim Beam and cola.''
Heath and Schroeder are unsure as to whether the best-of and rarities collections will be the last albums from The Basics in the light of Gotye's international success.
Both would like to play as a band again and the trio remain in touch as much as mates can do when they are living in different parts of the world.
"I am really proud of him and in a way it's a real blessing that all of this stuff has happened to Wally and we now have a little platform through him for people to maybe get to know The Basics better,'' he said.
Heath has some reservations about another record if the band continued away from its early 60s rock'n'roll stylings.
"For a bit there, we went on a path that I wasn't too keen on - I would love us to get back to being that 60s party band because that's when I think we were at our best,'' he said.
Ingredients and Leftovers are released on Friday.

Casper City Council Passes Gun Restriction
Tonight, Casper City Council voted for a third and final time to restrict guns at city-related meetings.
After weeks of discussion and debate, guns and weapons will no longer be allowed.
During the first reading on November 1st, 6 council members were for the restriction. At the second and tonight's reading 5 were in favor.
Council members who favor the restriction say they feel intimidated at their job. However, those who were against it say nothing involving a gun has ever happened at a meeting. Residents against the restriction have gone as far as threatening council-members and openly carrying guns into the last few council meetings.
Council members and Mayor Paul Bertoglio say this is not the end. "We've just simply opened the pandora's box as it relates to the gun issue," Bertoglio said. "I believe we will see some constitutional challenges to it."

AIG Name No Longer Mud to Consumers Shopping for Life Insurance
AIG's name is no longer mud.
Under a pilot project launched last year, the life-insurance unit at American International Group found it got better results selling coverage under the AIG brand than it did using a name that didn't indicate an affiliation with the bailed-out company, a senior executive said.
AIG is now expanding the effort to sell life insurance directly to consumers by directing them to a website called AIG Direct, said Jay Wintrob, the head of AIG's life-insurance unit, SunAmerica Financial Group.
"We had higher response and sell-through rates using the AIG name," he said at a conference in New York on Wednesday. "So we've expanded our AIG Direct lead-generation efforts."
The results of the pilot project show the AIG brand has greatly improved since the depths of the financial crisis, when its $130 billion bailout prompted criticism far and wide, from the halls of Congress to the faux newscast on "Saturday Night Live," prompting AIG's then-chief executive, Edward Liddy, to declare the AIG name "so thoroughly wounded and disgraced" that it would probably need to be changed.
Amid the furor, the company retooled marketing efforts, removed the AIG logo from identity badges and even renamed entire units of the company in an attempt to limit the damage from its massive government rescue. AIG has now repaid the bulk of the bailout, but remains majority-owned by the U.S. government for now.
The pilot program involved advertisements for AIG Direct, which currently tells potential customers they can get "the protection your family needs from AIG, a world leader in insurance." AIG Direct is a marketing division of a unit called Matrix Direct, which sells term life insurance directly over the Internet from carriers including AIG's American General Life Cos. and ING Groep NV's (ING) ReliaStar Life Insurance Co.
The improved sales using the AIG Direct brand were in contrast to results when the coverage was sold through Matrix Direct, Wintrob said.
Wintrob also said AIG's SunAmerica is poised to expand sales of variable annuities through a variety of channels. Rivals including MetLife have retooled their variable annuity offerings in recent months to make them less generous, while Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (HIG) exited the business altogether.
"We have the capacity, distribution capability, risk controls and financial discipline to capitalize on the growing demand in this market as some of our competitors pull back," Wintrob said.

JWC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 10 July 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410710-JWC-JF-01; CL 13: 176-177
[10 July 1841]
dear Mr Forster
You are dreaming perhaps that I am gone away without sending the address—but no fear of that, or perhaps I should rather say, no hope of it! The fact is I am still here, feeling more like a Gohst that cannot get itself laid1 than anything else in prose or verse! I begin to be ashamed of showing my face even to the unknown persons who pass me by in the streets— I fancy them all saying to themselves "Chirst Almighty! what is that woman still doing above ground?" What indeed but waiting for the crowing of the cock!2— and no cock will crow! "Did you ever know anything in the least like it?" (as my good Mother says).— He went according to the programme, and since his arrival has written me three letters, each promising that the next should contain "some thing definite," and the whole three proceeding in a rapidly increasing ratio towards "confusion worse confounded"— Today's beats the world! If you only read it you would not know whether to laugh or cry over it!—five pages of infinitismal details about houses issuing like one of our friend Oliver's parliamentary speeches in simple zero! "And now," he says, "comes the practical question what are YOU to do?" God knows! unless I set about getting a divorce, and marry again, some man with common sense instead of Genius!
Perhaps—indeed positively—if he do not forbid— I will cut the matter short at once, by putting myself and my maid on the Railway next week and going straight to the Mother that bore me—some thirty miles beyond that Annan of his—having placed her in safe keeping, for she cannot be trusted in her own—you remember!3—I could then join this much-agitated Calebs in search of a house4 and make him find one, or else resign himself with a good grace to live in the open air!— Will not this be my best course think you? "He that considers everything will never decide on anything"5 and this man considers everything and some things more—
Meanwhile it is a pity you are so far off, or you might come and give me your ideas "on things in general"6—for seeing you always does me real good—there is something sunshiny about you, that cheers my gloom,—for little as you may suspect it I am in a state of almost continual blue-devils— I do not mean that your head wears a halo—like holy family—saint—or martyr-heads but you have a sunny manner of being that makes itself felt.
I will send your books tomorrow by the Parcel delivery Susan Hopely is good—so it must have been all a calumny that Mrs Crow was bad7—
It will be the end of next week I imagine before I can get away now
Ever affectionately yours /
Jane Carlyle

For last year's recap of what is now the Texas Homebrew Society's annual amateur brewing competition, I started out with one simple truth: Brew Riot was getting bigger. This year, I'm going to start out with another: North Texas homebrewers are getting better.
Indeed, the overall quality of the beer served at this year's event was noticeably better than it has been in the past. It wasn't just my opinion, I canvassed a number of others for their thoughts, and found this to be a common sentiment among fellow homebrewers and industry professionals alike.
As for the highlights of the day, to no one's surprise patrons crowded around the booths of those breweries hoping to open in the near future. Four Bullets, Frisco City Grainworks, Noble Rey, Oak Highlands and Steam Theory each served test batches they hope are destined for a North Texas tap wall near you. Of these, Four Bullets has the shortest timeline leading to a planned October opening, with Frisco City, Noble Rey and Oak Highlands looking towards the end of 2014, and Steam Theory targeting the spring of next year*.
For now, though, we'll keep the spotlight on what this festival is all about: the homebrewers. In terms of trends, last year's mountain of milk stouts was reduced to a molehill at best. There was the expected abundance of IPAs and more sours certainly, but I didn't find myself drinking one after another of any particular style.
Congratulations to Panther Street Brewing for taking home the People's Choice prize, and to everyone else among this year's winners.
Personal notables:
Grotto Brewing: While I enjoyed this group's Razz-ma-Tazz raspberry stout as well, they secured my People's Choice chip for their Brett-based Sour Saison.
Mossberg Brewing: These guys may focus on sours, their Purple Drank proved to be another fine example in this category, but I couldn't help but be drawn to their white flame. Otherwise known as La Flama Blanca, their India Pale Lager was as bright and fresh as they come.
High Five Brewing Mumme: This hop-less, herbal beer brewed with rose hips and juniper berries was an interesting departure, though I have to admit some confusion with the name. According to various references, Mumme (pronounced moom-muh) beers emerged in the late 15th century as the first "style" to be brewedwithout herbs (?).
Ole 47 Piper Down: This brewery got my chip last year for their Vanboozled Bourbon Oak Vanilla Porter. This time around I decided to try their Piper Down, a Wee Heavy whose rich, malty and sweet description was spot on.
Trooper Brewing Peanut Butter Stout: More peanut butter than stout, but then again I'm not sure I've ever had a beer like this that wasn't the exact same way. I'm not complaining, in fact I'd like to see a few commercial brewers take a stab at the style.

Open up the Paranormal Investigator's tool bag and you will find EM meters, REM devices, IR illuminators and other gadgets and gizmos. But the most important tool is the one carrying that bag, the investigator himself.
As a paranormal investigator you have to have a positive mindset. While you will be working with like-minded people there are so many personality types. You will need some people skills.
There are many different reasons people investigate the paranormal. For some it was a near death experience and they looking for an explanation of what happened during that brief time. Many have experienced presumably paranormal activity and searching for an answer as to why that happened. Different religious beliefs and point of views of others should always be respected.
The seasoned investigator needs to set an example for newer investigators. You need to follow proper investigation procedures. While paranormal investigating is not your day gig it is still a profession and you need to conduct yourself in a professional manner.
Sure we use our meters and other devices but they should not be the only thing to base any evidence on. Your five senses and in some cases your 6th sense are your best tools and you should be focused on investigations. The last thing any investigator would want is to contaminate any evidence themself.
When personal experiences coincide with equipment responses there is more of a probability. We are investigating paranormal activity which is seen, heard, smelled, touched and even tasted. Everything from a piece of gear registering something to team member's experience should be documented. So many times you leave an investigation with only personal experiences.
The latest piece of gear that was designed to promote paranormal research is only experimental and as one manufacture puts it "intended for entertainment purposes only". While all these tools aid us it is the investigator who is the most important tool.

The DABC wine stores started blushing last spring, and Salt Lake somms began pushing the pink drink.
The Copper Onion's winemeister Jimmy Santangelo features a special list of rosés all season long during his "Summer of Rosé," a selection of rosé wines to go with the Onion's warm-weather menu. Santangelo's picks are mostly wines made by the saignée method (leaving the juice on the red skins to pick up their color) with a few made by coloring white wine with red wine. But none of them have the sweetness many Americans associate with what was called "blush" in the '80s. All the wines—from France, Italy, Napa and Sonoma—are dry and have the fruit friendliness and moderate alcohol levels that have made them a summertime favorite around the world.
Here's the list; these are all special order, meaning the DABC in its wisdom has declined to put them on the shelves.
Jean Luc Colombo "Cape Bleue" Rosé, Provence, France, 2013. A pale pink blend of syrah and mourvedre.
Copain "Tous Ensemble" Rosé, Anderson Valley, 2013. Made from 100 percent pinot noir.
St. Supéry Estate, Napa Valley, 2013. A melange of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc and–oddly–petit verdot.
Binomio "Cerasuolo" d'Abruzzo Superiore, Italy. Made from 100 percent montepulciano, resulting in a pomegranate (cerasuolo) color.
Matthiasson, Napa Valley Rose, 2013. Grenache, syrah and mourvedre from single vineyards in Carneros and Napa.
Bedrock "Ode to Lulu" Ancient Vine, Sonoma Valley Rosé, 2013. From Morgan Peterson (Ravenswood's Joel Peterson's son), a mix of carignane, mourvedre and grenache.
Next door at Copper Commons, they'll be serving rosé from the keg, like they do their red and white. 111 E. Broadway, SLC, 801-355-3282

Book synopsis
Focusing on yellow fever, cholera, and plague epidemics as well as on sanitation in the context of urban growth in Saint-Louis-du-Senegal between 1867 and 1920, this book explores how the French colonial and medical authorities responded to the emergence and re-emergence of deadly epidemic diseases and environmental contamination. Official reactions ranged from blaming the Africans and the tropical climate to the imposition of urban residential segregation and strictly enforced furloughs of civil servants and European troops. Drastic and disruptive sanitary measures led to a conflict between the interests of competing conceptions of public health and those of commerce, civil liberties, and popular culture. This book also examines the effort undertaken by the colonizer to make Senegal a healthy colony and Saint-Louis the healthiest port-city/capital through better hygiene, building codes, vector control, and the construction of waterworks and a sewerage system. The author offers insight into the urban processes and daily life in a colonial city during the formative years of the French empire in West Africa.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
Kalala Ngalamulume is Associate Professor in the Department of History and in the Africana Studies Program at Bryn Mawr College. He is the author of several articles and book chapters on the history of health and disease in Senegal and co-editor with Paula Viterbo of Medicine and Health in Africa: Multidisciplinary Perspectives (2010). He has also published in the Journal of African History, African Economic History, History in Africa, Revue de Pédagogie Apliquée, Encyclopedia of African History, and Oxford Bibliographies Online.
«This is a history of epidemic disease and the struggle against it in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Saint-Louis, the capital of Senegal. It is a major contribution to both medical and colonial history.» ('Martin Klein, Professor Emeritus, History Department, University of Toronto')
«Kalala Ngalamulume sheds a spotlight on several cultural worlds (nineteenth-century French colonial, Muslim, and traditional Senegalese) brought together in the health and society of Saint-Louis, an old and influential town near the mouth of the Senegal River. Long the capital of French exploration and then administration, it was also the destination of numerous migrants from all over the Senegalo-Mauritanian zone. By examining crises of cholera, yellow fever, and other emergencies, Ngalamulume shows competing understandings and behaviors and takes us far beneath the traditional evenementiel accounts that have dominated the literature.» (David Robinson, Distinguished University Professor, Michigan State University)

Book synopsis
As they oscillate and flow between action and aesthetics, habit and creativity, rhythms are vital to our understanding of how subjectivities are constructed upon the shifting borderlines between life and art. Yet whilst rhythm remains an established concept in studies of French poetry, this is the first major overview to address the centrality of rhythm in fields such as literature, philosophy, dance and film, and to link these debates across periods and disciplines within French Studies. Drawing on thinkers such as Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Lefebvre, Meschonnic, and Virilio, the authors explore the concept of rhythms in relation to questions of temporality and the everyday, technology and the city, poetry and autobiography, space and the body in performance. In a wide-ranging series of innovative, theoretical and close readings, they examine issues which include the poetics of Mallarmé and Bonnefoy, the writings of Ernaux, Perec, Réda and Zobel, the choreography of Merce Cunningham and the cinema of Chris Marker.

The victim has been identified as Station 104 paramedic and firefighter Daniel Groover. He has been with the department since 1993.
Authorities say Groover was one of several firefighters who responded this afternoon to a house in the 1400 block of Mistletoe Lane near Redbud.
Houston Fire Department Spokesman Ruy Lozano says a rapid intervention crew immediately went to search for him and they found him lying on the ground. Firefighters pulled him out of home and began administering CPR.
Lozano says Groover was transported to Kingwood Medical Center in "extremely critical condition."
Authorities say they've now determined no one was inside the home at the time of the fire, but firefighters were acting on the assumption that may have been the case.
Groover is married and has three adult sons.
The cause of the fire will be under investigation.
No other details were immediately available. (13 Eyewitness News Houston)

USA – Dir. Jason Reitman – 1 hr 33 min
Director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody, who made the hit film Juno, reunite with this acidic dark comedy. It's about a writer of "young adult" fiction who returns to her small hometown to reclaim her high school sweetheart (who, inconveniently, is now married with a baby). Charlize Theron gives an amazing performance as an aging psycho prom-queen from hell, who is ridiculously narcissistic, yet poignantly melancholic. Yes, this is a comedy, but a very, very dark one — Juno's quirky sarcasm seems cutesy-poo in comparison. (Director Reitman continues his amazing run with this excellent follow up to Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and Up In the Air.)
