Whitney Houston Pictures
Remember Whitney Houston With a Look at Her Life in Pictures
Whitney Houston died three years ago today at just 48 years old. The singer's nearly 30-year career was marked with hundreds of musical hits and awards including two Emmys, six Grammys, and over 20 American Music Awards. On the anniversary of the superstar's death, her family is going through another tragedy since Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, remains on life support at Emory University Hospital after being found unresponsive in a bathtub last month.
Take a look back at Whitney's life with friends like Mariah Carey and Clive Davis, her amazing stage moments, and her daughter.

I would like Goodwin to ultimately be replaced. My ideal scenario would be to have them draft a guard to compete with Kilgore for the guard position. The winner would be playing at Guard for the coming year next to Goodwin makes a lot of sense to me. Ideally it would be Kilgore. Then slide him over to Center in 2013 if/when Goodwin has a drop off from age. The draftee would play guard along side Kilgore in 2013.
Moving Davis to guard just mess things up for the young man who just showed us last year that he can own the RT position after the Detroit game

Hey, I'm Amy!
Jacksonville, Florida, United States · Member since April 2011
Hi. I love Air Bnb!! I've traveled to NYC, Washington DC, Eureka, CA, Blue Ridge Mountains in NC, Miami, FL and Santiago, Chile in the past 3 years and have had wonderful experiences with Air BnB. I'm a high school teacher (Spanish) when I'm not traveling and love to read, cook, and explore. My motto is to always leave a place better than I found it....and be kind. We live in a hectic world so every opportunity to just be calm and kind with one another is an opportunity to reduce the stress and chaos of our times. I try to live by that. Thank you so very much for all you do as a host!!

Dr. Corner listened, explained, and completely understood me.
He just up and quit his practice in Lancaster Ohio with no notice he should not have a licence
He was very derogatory towards us, not willing to listen to our concerns. He approached with an "I am doctor you are stupid" attitude, and then dropped our son as a patient with no notice. Now we are out of his meds and still trying to find a MUCH BETTER dr that's worthy of the title
I saw this doctor prior to the opening of his current practice site and then for a few years after. I am surprised by the reviews I just read: I thought that I was alone in describing that he spent the most of the time not talking about me or my problems. I thought that he was more informal with me because I am a physician. I, too, heard stories about how his dogs, his divorce, and problems with practice partners. As far as time spent waiting to see him, I frequently waited for him more than 1.5 hours. His new wife worked in the office while I was a patient; she was frequently rude and inappropriate. I was diagnosed as having a bipolar disorder and was told I could not survive without this medication. More than 10 years later, I am living quite nicely without it.
I have had no problems with this Doc, He diagnosed me correctly. I feel the best I have ever felt. I can live a normal life and I work a very stressful job. I know he likes his dogs , but so do I. They were an ice breaker when I first met with him. He like to talk and some time he doesn't listen, but if I have a problem he listens. Some of these ppl who wrote their reviews need a couch doc.
I was surprised by the reviews of this doctor. Dr. Corner is a no nonsense doctor which is why I think people reviewed him badly. I have had mental issues my whole life and this doctor has finally helped me. I finally feel "normal" again. My medications are finally straightened out. I guess people who review are only the ones who had a bad experience because he is wonderful! Oh and by seeing some of the people in this area I am guessing he gets many patients who just want a Dr for disability and Xanax. So sad! he is great .
What a pointless trip..He is a joke..He needs to retire and take care of his dogs..Only thing he cares about are those dogs..Nothing else..He doesn't listen to u at all..Sad..
This doctor treated my mother in law that I cared for @ home; he was the worst. This "doctor" never listened to anything; he didn't bother to review the previous doctors notes (we were quite happy w her previous doctor-but was relocated). Every review I have read here mirrors our experience. The man is not capable to making a proper diagnosis.........he never hears anything said! The dogs................oh my goodness the dogs! He is without question the most un-professional provider I have ever encountered. Sadly, our family has quite a history of mental illness and we have had to learn as we all grow older; the one lesson I wish to share is stay clear of this man! Recently I discovered my friend of over 35 years is seeing him for medication. This explains her blank stare and detatchment from reality and suicidal tendencies. What must we do as consumers to rid the community of this man? If a construction worker rips off a local person it makes the news; a medical professional is ruining lives and it goes unreported. Really? Actually I would give this man a negative star rating.
The single, only reason I visit this doctor is to get refills. Other than "Please write me a refill," I don't actually SAY anything to him. At our first 1 hr long visit, he spent 45 minutes talking about his stupid dogs, about 2 minutes talking about me, and the rest was arguing with me about something I said. He told me up front "I'm the doctor, not you." when I tried to actually be involved in the diagnosis. I seriously dislike him. I'm dreading my next appointment but at the moment, he is the only doctor who can write my refills.
I thought I would give this doctor one more try as it was very easy to get an appointment and it isn't easy finding a psychiatrist these days. Once inside the Doctor was very dismissive of me, after mentioning my antidepressant wasn't working he wrote me a prescription for the exact same thing I have been experiencing severe depression and anxiety with sucidial thoughts. I explained my crippling anxiety only for him to start a 30 minute long RANT about his life and his family and his dogs. He even talks about his patients in a derogatory manner. How this man is practicing medicine and had not hey been sued or had his license revoked is beyond me. He had the audacity to say the F word in the room. Beware of this man, I felt far worse after leaving than when I had arrived.
Our appointment was for 9 am yesterday morning(I like to be the first appointment because the wait time is ridiculous) After sitting for 15 minutes I asked if we were going to be seen soon. The answer was when we get our computer up and running. Ten minutes later, we were told we had to make another appt. because the wait would be at least 1 hour. Another women in the waiting room asked if she could just talk to the dr. (he could have talked to us and then transferred info on the computer) I asked if we could just get scripts (one is a controlled substance and we are almost out). At that time, Dr. Corner opened the door and very rudely announced to us that we could be patient and wait for one hour or we could leave. What we needed could have been done without a computer. I asked the office girl after that announcement if we could just have the one script written for the controlled substance. She disappeared for 10 minutes - I got tired of waiting because my son(the patient) needed to get to work and he was very agitated. Previous to this appointment, the dr. talked about politics and complained about things in this country without really talking to my son, the patient. He takes his two dogs to work and we always have to pay attention to them and let them sit on our laps, but when my son wanted to pick one up and put it on his lap, he was scolded by the dr. Oh yes, I forgot, we also had to hear about the dogs lives. Dr. Corner is very professionally unethical and needs to be disciplined. The other woman who was waiting was very upset and told me that she will not be coming back.
Waited 45 minutes to actually see him and once in the room he started the conversation about his dogs and that went on for about 15 to 20 minutes. He then asked what brought me in for the visit, I started to explain, then suddenly something I must have mentioned triggered another thought about his dog, then once again we were on that subject for another 10 minutes. My making the appointment was to be able to talk to him about the medication that I am taking doesn't seem to be helping. He asked what medications I was currently on and why...that was one of my questions for him, why!?! I asked if there might be something else that I could try that might suit me better. He mumbled a few things and began to write on his prescription pad and handed them to me. I looked at the prescriptions and they were for the same exact thing that I was currently on, I asked him why he was prescribing me the same medication that I had just told him wasn't working for me and he came back with...I will need to see you back in 2 weeks and we will go from there. That made absolutely no sense to me.I hope anyone making an appointment with him will read his reviews because they are very accurate. In my opinion, he should be entering his dogs in shows, that would suit him much better as a profession.I will not go back to him nor would I ever recommend him to anyone.
I saw Dr. Corner a couple of years ago. I am surprised to learn he is STILL seeing patients. This gentleman does not listen to his patients, and as noted in a previous review, starts scribbling away on his prescription pad the moment you sit down in his office. To be fair, I only saw him once, but that was more than enough for this patient. If he thought of his patients instead of himself, he would realize that it is time for him to close the office doors permanently.
Talks about the dog the whole time , doesn't listen to your feelings or problems and we agree 100 % with the last comment from Feb 2011 . Told him pills weren't working and he dint change them , very low dose , not working and he talks about himself the whole time. I went in with my son and my son never got to talk to him all ! He did all of the talking about his self and that dog .
I've had three visits with this doctor. He loves to keep you waiting; a subject of great discussion witht the other patients in the waiting room. He is calm but dismissive of anything you have to say. He rejects your ideas out of hand and doesn't care what you want to try. It doesn't matter how much you educate yourself on the problem, he is the one with the MD. The review that says he overmedicates at well over the recommended dosage is not in line with my experience. He does rely on medication, though, rather than discuss your issues with you. He would give me very low doses, though. For example, I am 6'5 and 380lbs, and he was keeping me on 5mg of Adderall XR. There was no point and he wouldn't consider upping the dose, trying non-extended release, and when I told him I was getting dry mouth he just stopped alltogether. He had me on prozac, that didn't work out, so he put me on Wellbutrin. On the third visit, which was only 2 minutes long (I'm not kidding), he stopped the adderall and doubled the wellbutrin after I told him it was making my depression worse. This is a doctor who gets a cursory view of your problem as best you can explain it with no discussion or clarification and just starts writing on the prescription pad. Seek help elsewhere.
Dr. Corner appears to be a very caring psychiatrist. Unfortunately, he OVER MEDICATES his patients. He prescribes to many medications as well as prescribes markedly over the recommended dosage recommended.

Toy donations needed for PCH's holiday toyland
The holiday season is an exciting time for all – especially for children. But for some children, this holiday season will be spent as a patient at Phoenix Children's Hospital. On Dec. 24, volunteers and staff will transform the hospital conference center into a magical winter toyland. Parents of hospitalized patients will have an opportunity to select unwrapped toys from an array of donated items - free of charge. Generous donations from the community make this possible.
Phoenix Children's Hospital will accept toy donations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 8 to 23 at 1919 E. Thomas Road. Donation drop off will be located at the Rosenberg Building entrance on the main campus – Building E. Non-violent, brand new toys will be accepted (no food, candy or stuffed animals, please).
Toyland would not be possible without community support. A local PODS distributer has provided storage pods for the last three years to store Santa's treasures.
Volunteers are also needed to help wrap and organize gifts. Please call for volunteer information at (602) 546-0268.
For more information, call Jena Collins at (602) 546-1038 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Remember who they are
Published: Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 8:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 8:40 a.m.
Simply put, we Americans and especially Louisianans had better wake up and start voting for candidates who pledge to better our country as a whole and not just their political party interests (as the present Republican Party is trying to do).
The consistent negative efforts by the Republican Party to stop any and all actions for the good of the people — such as the job-bill proposal and extended unemployment benefits — is overwhelmingly evident.
The Republican Party, the party of no, and the tea party movement, have not the faintest idea of how to salvage the economy from recession. But then again, how could they? For it was their terrible governing practices and greed that plunged us into this catastrophe. Now they ask the public to trust them and let them repeat?
Please, if we the public are ignorant enough to believe that either of these two groups would put the public first and not their political power, job security or rich crony friends, then we as a whole deserve every stinking mishap that is thrust upon us.
Thus, if ignorance is bliss, then the Republican Party and the tea party movement should fare well come November and possibly in 2012. However, I am optimistic that intelligence will prevail.

Hi, I'm having trouble understanding how tension works.Problem 27 is a two-pulley system with the intended force goingdown. The crate (52kg) has to be raised. but i must find the amountof force required for the crate to be lifted with a constant speed,the tension in the upper chain(attached to a ceiling), and thetension in the lower chain (holding the crate),(the rope, pulleys,and chains are weightless). So the only knowns i have is thatm=52kg, a=0m/s2, and that g=-9.8m/s2.
Detailed Description of pulley system: Thebegining of the rope starts attached from the ceiling by just aloop, and falls down until it reaches the first pulley, which holdsthe 52 kg crate. the rope changes direction and goes up towards theceiling until it reaches the second pulley thats attached to theceiling. The rope then changes direction again and falls down. theend is where the force is to be applied, pulled down on by ahand.

Thankfully short-lived series about a group of incredibly annoying baby boomers and their pointless meaningless lives. This was (I believe) the first show to attempt to appeal directly to baby boomers. Thirty something did hit it big with that audience but that didn't start until 1987. thirty something was another annoying show with whiny characters who were constantly complaining and moping about--but it was a masterpiece compared to this. The acting in this was OK but the scripts were just dreadful. The first one dealt with a couple with a kid or two--but they weren't married. Nobody knew--they just assumed they were. So we spend an HOUR with these two going on endlessly about whether or not to marry. (They decide not to BTW). The second dealt with a divorced woman who was throwing a party because her divorce was finalized. Really--that was it. Another dull hour with this pathetic woman trying to act happy but (sigh) she's really depressed inside. After those I stopped watching. Every single line and situation was predictable--I got the feeling that the writers for this show assumed the audience was full of idiots. I believe it only lasted a month or two. Be happy you never caught this. Despite the fact that virtually every TV show is being put out on DVD I HOPE they'll skip this one.

I would like to contribute my idle processor power for something good.I usually seed to p2p network, but I hope this doesn't require much amount of processor utilization? So I installed BOINC software platform and began to contribute to seti@home. But it seems that system is under a heavy load and makes loud noises (fans at full speed I think..).
I would really like to contribute but I don't want my electricity bill to go very high. So, how can I calculate the amount of electrical power my system consumes? Also is there any chance that I would cause damage to system under high loads? Or is it good for me to utilize my full processor potential? Will this reduce my system lifespan?

It rolled up in the back so bad that it was pointless to wear it. The picture makes it look like it has stays in the back to prevent rolling but the pic is deceiving.
This Lumbar Support Belt just like a magic. Few weeks ago I purchased this amazing product. So quickly this product relive my back pain. Now I use this belt regular before going to sleep and wear whole night. I find one thing that this belt also relax my body.
I feel like I found the perfect slimming & pain-remover fitness equipment for me...
This belt is really like a magic. This belt Works so good. I use this product everyday.I can also use this when i go outside.Its give me a attractive figure.
It's smaller than it looks. It provides no real support. The magnets were supposed to be a plus; but since the whole belt isn't up to the task, I can't imagine the magnets alone being so helpful!!!
item is foaming creating heat around my abdomen. It would have preferred the one made of fabric like the type i bought in Morgan City LS in 1996 walmart
I ordered this product with the expectation that it would ease my back pain. it seems to have helped so far but still somewhat early to judge. i was not expecting the belt part of it to be so long, is a challenge for me to put on unless i have help. i don't regret buying it though, i still have hope it works for the best.
the belt works wonderfully I have had trouble with my back for 40 years getting outta the car I hadda get out and waituntil my back got seated now I ain,t sayin the belt did it all but with chyropracterin and acupuncture my back feels pretty good hey if I found the belt and the doctors to make my back feel better and I am 60 yrs old and for 40 yrs had a back acke well you do tbe mnath if I am 60 and the belt helped the pain I was experiencing for 40 years so add 60 plus 40 equals the fountain of yout
I'm 5'3, and 165 pounds and this is way too big for me. Now a trip to Walmart to refund my order. And orderd online 12/21, received 1/6/15, a total of 16 days of waiting from ordering date and now disappointed. The first part of my entire order (4 items) received on 12/30/14, the second which was this item received 1/6/15.

Analysis of a Modified Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal
Guitar players are increasingly modifying (or paying someone else to modify) inexpensive mass-produced guitar pedals into boutique units. The Keeley modification of the Boss DS-1 is a prime example. In this paper, we compare the measured and perceived performance of a Boss DS-1 before and after applying the Keeley All-Seeing-Eye and Ultra mods. This paper sheds light on psychoacoustics, signal processing, and guitar recording techniques in relation to low fidelity guitar distortion pedals.

Last year there were numerous cyber attacks on Israeli banks, so they just blocked access to all foreign countries. Is there a way to bypass that? I tried using a proxy, but it didn't work out.
You can try Tor, although the exit node IPs are easily obtainable and many filters block them by default. Unfortunately you may not be able to bypass it unless you can make friends with someone in the allowed country and convince them to set up a proxy for you to use. That would do it because the traffic would appear to be coming from the allowed country.
If you have a SSH server in another country (where there is no filtering), you can make an SSH tunnel to it, set dynamic port forwarding to this server, encapsulate your traffic from your browser via socks5 proxy into the ssh tunnel and voila.

For all you fermented beverage making pros out there, I've made a video series especially for you!
In this 2 video set, I cover how I make large batches of an age old fermented elixir known as kombucha in my home. Any questions or concerns about anything I cover, please feel free to comment. I will answer all questions as best I can based on my own experience and all that I've read about it over the years.

I have been making booch for years, thanks to you, however I need to go to a larger batch mode now, so came back to your videos. Can you please explain what you do with these jugs after first fermentation? As in what do you place 21qts of kombucha in in order to start over again? thanks
Hi Sara,
I have a question for you about the measurements that you use. I am trying this out at home and I wanted to make sure I do it right. From what you said, you are making enough for 21 quarts. If so that is a little over 5 gallons. If I was to brew it based on the original recipe I would say it is a little over 5 cups of sugar and not 7 because it is 1 cup per gallon. Is your result sweet? I wouldn't imagine it is but I am just wondering how it tastes or if you have to let it ferment longer or if my reasoning is faulty here.
I have really appreciated all the help you give me by posting videos. They really help to point my family in the right direction. My almost 2 yo has a lot of carries and we have started on a WP diet with lots of FCLO. Our fingers are crossed! You are a great source of inspiration and help!
Hi! I was wondering, how wide should the hole be relative to the fermenting container? I have a 20 liter container that only has a three inch hole and I'm worries it isn't wide enough to let air get in. Any idea? Thank you!
Could I use bulk organic english breakfast tea in my kombucha? Thanks! Love these videos!!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
If the english breakfast tea is just black tea then yes. Some have other herbs in them .. don't use those.
Hi! I grew my own SCOBY from a baby in a store-bought bottle of kombucha. It grew like mad during the feeding up stage, and I just bottled my brewed kombucha. I have now read some other instructions that make me think I did some things wrong. I used water from my tap, and now I read it should be filtered, distilled, or boiled for 10 mins. I put the SCOBY in a mason jar in a cabinet for feeding up, and although it seemed to do well, now I read that you shouldn't put it in a cabinet because it won't get enough air. For brewing, I put it in a glass suntea jar, but now I have read that it should not be put in a cylindrical jar, only in a wide bowl, also so it gets enough air. I also stored the SCOBY in kombucha in a glass vessel in the fridge for about 18 hours after I finished brewing one batch before I started brewing another. I now read that can destroy the balance of the bacteria and yeast. I am worried that these mistakes may have ruined my SCOBY, and I am wondering if I should throw it out and start over? It seems to have stopped growing (grew like crazy during feeding, but not during brewing) and is fairly brown, not very white. My kombucha smells, looks, and tastes good, although it does seem to burn a bit on the way down, which I have not experienced with store-bought kombucha. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to make this video guide and answer questions!
Lauren Hayes
I would like to brew 4 gallons of Kombucha. Could you please help me figure out the correct amount of ingredients to do this? I currently am using the Anchor 2 gallon jars from walmart but would like to invest in the jars you have in the feature.
Dear Sarah
Can I put lemon in my kombucha when it is ready to drink?
or am'I going to lose some of the good nutrients because of lemon?
How can I get my kombucha to be fizzy?
Nice video on how to make kombucha. Never knew about the history and how the Russion's used kombucha in Olympic training.
Hi Sarah,
I learned so much from watching your videos on Kombucha. I was told to use organic cane sugar. Is that necessary? I didn't hear you mention that in any of your videos, so I wanted to make sure.
Thanks so much
I am going to try to make my own kombucha soon (need to gather supplies) and was wondering what you think of growing your own culture from a store bought bottle as I've seen this online and seems best option (getting from a friend might be possible but I just moved so don't know many ppl and would be hard to verify if they treat their SCOBY in the manner you teach). Also should any flavorings- in particular fresh ginger- be brewed with the initial tea or afterwards? THX!
One Tablespoon is 3 Teaspoons, NOT 2.
BeverlyAnn Chyatte
listen to it again, she says One TBS is "3" tsp. B4 that statement she did say divide 28 tea bags by 2 because we are using half green tea and half black tea so that is where you heard her state the number 2.
Hi Sarah,
I have a large glass jar with a stainless spout. Is it ok to use for my kombucha?
Thanks, Ellen
From what I have heard in Sarah's videos, kombucha SHOULD NOT come in contact with stainless steel or plastic at all. ONLY glass.
BeverlyAnn Chyatte
No, you will kill your Scoby. You can only use clear glass.
Not even stainless steel? I heard stainless steel was ok because it is non reactive?
Hi Sarah,
Could you print your instructions for making the larger amounts of kombouca in your advanced Komboucha video. I have tried several times to play this video and it does not show up on your site or Youtube.
Thanks so much,

have you ever heard of a continuous brew? Happy Herbalist (happyherbalist.com) recommends it- what's your opinion of it?
Sarah Dean
Hi Sarah, I have just started brewing my own Kombucha, I am up to about day 7 with the brew and I used rapadura instead of white sugar, will that create any problems? should I use white sugar next time?
Thank you
Would you mind sharing what type of black tea you use? I've been looking at ordering bulk tea because we go through about a gallon per week of kombucha at my house – and that's just for my husband and me – and I never realized there were so many types!
I answered my own question about GTDave's porcelian pots being lead free. His site says they are. I don't know how I mised it!!!
Argh! Sarah, is your Advanced Kombucha video still up? When I try watching it I keep getting an error message. I just got a new scobie (I killed, or did something to my old one, leaving it for too long, and it made something that smelled more like beer from then on.) and two three-gallon jars and really want to get into some heavy-duty kombucha-making!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Hi Sally, I just tried the video and it played fine. Maybe reboot your computer? Must be a connection issue somehow.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Shire and Boston Children's Hospital entered a three-year research collaboration in rare diseases. The goal of the collaboration is to develop novel therapies to treat rare pediatric diseases with high unmet medical need, leveraging the research expertise of The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research at Boston Children's and Shire's development and commercialization capabilities.
Shire will make an initial up-front payment to Boston Children's and will have the opportunity to fund selected research programs. Following the completion of these programs, Shire will have an exclusive option to enter into a licensing agreement for each program.
Upon entering into a licensing agreement, Boston Children's will be eligible to receive certain development and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on product sales from Shire. Shire will have the primary responsibility for any further clinical development and commercialization of products arising from the collaboration.
This collaboration marks another move forward in Shire's focus on rare diseases. Just yesterday Shire reported a new initiative—the Shire Rare Disease Impact Report—to research the health, psycho-social, societal, and economic impact of rare diseases in patient and medical communities. The firm says surveys of patients, caregivers, physicians, payors, and thought leaders in the U.S. and the U.K. are under way. In addition, last month Shire reported providing $22 million in funding over five years to support a broad rare diseases collaboration with the Italian biomedical charity Fondazione Telethon's Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM). The partnership will involve research on 13 rare disease indications that together encompass a number of lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, which Shire says could provide a number of candidates for its early-stage pipeline.

We hanged people for waterboarding as a war crime, in Dick Cheney's lifetime. With that is as the historical context, the vice president cavalierly told ABC News that he specifically approved that same technique being used against the prisoner named Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.
In his latest legacy-polishing exit interview, Vice President Dick Cheney acknowledged for the first time, without trepidation or apparent fear of prosecution that he authorized torture techniques to be used against prisoners. He was asked and answered specifically about waterboarding.
Waterboarding, you may recall, from the Tokyo trials after World War II, when an international coalition, including us, convened to prosecute the Japanese officials and military personnel accused of war crimes including waterboarding. A number of those found guilty of waterboarding, American troops and allied troops and civilians. People found guilty of waterboarding those folks were sentenced to death and hanged. We hanged people for waterboarding as a war crime, in Dick Cheney's lifetime. With that is as the historical context, the vice president cavalierly told ABC News that he specifically approved that same technique being used against the prisoner named Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.
Should Dick Cheney Be Hanged?
We hanged people for waterboarding as a war crime, in Dick Cheney's lifetime. With that is as the historical context, the vice president cavalierly told ABC News that he specifically approved that same technique being used against the prisoner named Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.
John Dean: 'Serious consequences' if Obama doesn't prosecute torture
Vice President Dick Cheney's admission that he authorized waterboarding has focused attention on possible Bush administration war crimes, and former Nixon White House counsel John Dean believes there will be "serious consequences" if the Obama administration tries to avoid singling out those involved for prosecution.
Olbermann asked what Dean saw as the best and most realistic outcome, and Dean replied that it "would be if Mr. Obama, indeed, does exactly what he said during the campaign -- that he will, indeed, when his attorney general is seated, have him instructed to immediately look and see if these offenses have been committed, if they are prosecutable ... and then report to him and the nation to make it very clear that this is not the policy of the Obama administration or the United States."
Cheney claims power to decide his public records
Dick Cheney's lawyers are asserting that the vice president alone has the authority to determine which records, if any, from his tenure will be handed over to the National Archives when he leaves office in January.
That claim is in federal court documents asking that a lawsuit over the records be dismissed. Cheney leaves office Jan. 20, potentially taking with him millions of records that might otherwise become public record.
Air Force nuclear unit fails inspection
For the fifth time this year, a U.S. Air Force nuclear weapons unit failed an inspection, this time because of failure to document its handling of nuclear missiles and other critical issues, Air Force officials said.
Additionally, failures included having some personnel on duty without proper medical clearance and failure to inspect radiation detectors.
Other units that failed inspections this year included two bomb wings and two missile units.
Franken Senate Victory Projected
Democratic challenger Al Franken finds himself on the cusp of winning a seat in the United States Senate after Minnesota's canvassing board awarded him a host of challenged votes during deliberations on Thursday.
As of 8PM ET, the Minneapolis Star Tribune projected that Franken would finish the recount process with a lead of 89 votes, positioning him to become the 59th senator caucusing with Democrats in the upcoming Congress.
The Torture Report
Most Americans have long known that the horrors of Abu Ghraib were not the work of a few low-ranking sociopaths. All but President Bush's most unquestioning supporters recognized the chain of unprincipled decisions that led to the abuse, torture and death in prisons run by the American military and intelligence services.
Now, a bipartisan report by the Senate Armed Services Committee has made what amounts to a strong case for bringing criminal charges against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; his legal counsel, William J. Haynes; and potentially other top officials, including the former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff.
Mass graves still unguarded as U.S., U.N., Afghans duck task
A week after the revelation that remains had been bulldozed from a mass grave site that held up to 2,000 bodies in Afghanistan, the location remains unprotected, the United Nations hasn't released its own investigation and the warlord who's accused of the exhumation is comfortably lodged just down the street from a Starbucks in Turkey's capital.
Journalists Worry 'Big Brother Law' Will Kill Press Freedom
A new law working its way toward passage in Germany has journalists worried. Certain provisions, they say, could eliminate the ability for reporters to protect their sources. Still, the measure is likely to go into effect early next year.
It has been called the "Big Brother" law in the German media due to its provisions allowing online and telephone surveillance. The Interior Ministry in Berlin describes it as a necessary step to protect the country from the dangers of international terrorism.

Rate-Quality Optimized Video Coding / Edition 1by Yoo-Sok Saw
Pub. Date: 11/30/1998
Publisher: Springer US
Rate-Quality Optimized Video Coding discusses the matter of optimizing (or negotiating) the data rate of compressed digital video and its quality, which has been a relatively neglected topic in either side of image/video coding and tele-traffic management. Video rate management becomes a technically challenging task since it is required to maintain a certain video
Rate-Quality Optimized Video Coding discusses the matter of optimizing (or negotiating) the data rate of compressed digital video and its quality, which has been a relatively neglected topic in either side of image/video coding and tele-traffic management. Video rate management becomes a technically challenging task since it is required to maintain a certain video quality regardless of the availability of transmission or storage media. This is caused by the broadband nature of digital video and inherent algorithmic features of mainstream video compression schemes, e.g. H.261, H.263 and MPEG series. In order to maximize the media utilization and to enhance video quality, the data rate of compressed video should be regulated within a budget of available media resources while maintaining the video quality as high as possible.
In Part I (Chapters 1 to 4) the non-stationarity of digital video is discussed. Since the non-stationary nature is also inherited from algorithmic properties of international video coding standards, which are a combination of statistical coding techniques, the video rate management techniques of these standards are explored. Although there is a series of known video rate control techniques, such as picture rate variation, frame dropping, etc., these techniques do not view the matter as an optimization between rate and quality. From the view of rate-quality optimization, the quantizer is the sole means of controling rate and quality. Thus, quantizers and quantizer control techniques are analyzed, based on the relationship of rate and quality.
In Part II (Chapters 5 and 6), as a coherent approach to non-stationary video, established but still thriving nonlinear techniques are applied to video rate-quality optimization such as artificial neural networks including radical basis function networks, and fuzzy logic-based schemes. Conventional linear techniques are also described before the nonlinear techniques are explored. By using these nonlinear techniques, it is shown how they influence and tackle the rate-quality optimization problem. Finally, in Chapter 7 rate-quality optimization issues are reviewed in emerging video communication applications such as video transcoding and mobile video. This chapter discusses some new issues and prospects of rate and quality control in those technology areas.
Rate-Quality Optimized Video Coding is an excellent reference and can be used for advanced courses on the topic.

Munich city is the Capital of Bavaria region in Germany,pop. in 1994: 1,255,623 .The city is located on the Isar River and close to Bavarian Alps in Southern Germany.
It is a financial,commercial,industrial,transportation, and a very important cultural center. The city is a major tourist and convention center aswell,it famous "Oktoberfest" or Beer Festival in the city is known in all world right now.
We arrived to Munich from Vienna in one of last days in our tour for several countries in Europe.We arrived at lunch time and the first thing that we did,it was having a nice meal in a very nice and typical Bavarian restaurant in the center of the city.Then we spent the rest of the day visiting all nice places that the city has to offer! really Munich is beautiful and I enjoyed my visit very much!.
MARIENPLATZ is with out any doubts,the heart of Munich.Everyone that come to see the city have to go to this impressive square.In here you will find some of best buildings and architecture in the whole city,take a look in "Things To Do" for more information of the square.
I would like to thanking my friend Michael, VT member (Globetrott) for his help and information to make this page,Thanks Michael!!.
- Pros:Beautiful city and architecture
- Cons:Nothing!
- In a nutshell:Welcome to Munich!

great tips!
It's been over a year since I've looked and read your Munich pages. Glad that I returned for second look. Just super with lots of detail, enthusiasm, and beautiful photos to match. Great travelogues, too.
Reading your page brought back memories of my visit to Munich many years ago. Too bad you didn't have the chance to go to Oktoberfest. I agree that German beer is the best!
Excelent tips and wonderful pictures. It's strange... I didn't visit Munich yet.. although my good schoolfriend lives there. Haha, no worries, some folks say that Octoberfest is big tourist trap, but not German beer itself.
a great page and lovely pics, bringing back great memories, Manuel ! I have to say that you saw quite a lot for only one day !
Oooh, Munich looks so beautiful! Great page Manuel!!! You really make me want to visit it now! Nympenburg castle looks wonderful! And lucky you with those amazing blue skies :-)) Great to see that you had such a wonderful time here! :-)
Great page,lots of info!!!
Great that you liked it here in Bavaria! Cheers, Christian.
Good information about Munich. I can't wait to go back and see the parts I have missed!
Great start on your wonderful page - about Germanys most beautiful city!! :)
