Internet and network paths with hyperlinks Replaces typed Internet addresses, network paths, and e-mail addresses with hyperlinks.
Ordinals (1st) with superscript Replaces ordinal numbers that show the relative position of an item in a sequence (for example, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) with superscript ( ).
Hyphens (--) with dash (—) Replaces a double hyphen (--) with an em dash (—); replaces a single hyphen with a space before and after ( - ) with an en dash (–).
Apply as you type
Automatic bulleted lists Creates a bulleted list when a line of text starts with one of the following characters *, -, or > followed by a space or tab.
Note: To end a bulleted list, press Enter two times.
Border lines Draws a line when you type three consecutive instances of the following characters ~, #, *, -, _, or = on a new line, and then press Enter. For example, typing ~~~ on a new line, and then pressing Enter draws a wavy line across the page.
Built-in Heading styles Applies heading styles to paragraphs of five or less words that do not end with punctuation after you press Enter two times. For Heading 1, type a new line; for Heading 2, precede the new line with a single tab; for Heading 3, precede the new line with two tabs.
Note: You must press Enter two times after the previous paragraph to automatically apply heading styles.
Automatic numbered lists Creates a numbered list when a line of text starts with the number 1 followed by a period or tab.
Note: To end a numbered list, press Enter two times.
Tables Creates a single row table when you insert a sequence of plus signs (+) and hyphens (-) at the start of a line of text, and then press Enter. You must begin and end the sequence with a plus sign. For example, +---+---+------+ creates a single row table with three columns. The column width is equal to the number of hyphens typed between the plus signs. To add rows anywhere in the table, position the cursor at the end of the row where you want to insert the new row, and then press Enter.
Note: This method also works when you substitute the pipe key ( | ) for the plus sign (+).
Automatically as you type
Format beginning of list item like the one before it Formats the lead-in text of a list item like the lead-in text of the previous list item. Lead-in formatting is repeated up to the first punctuation character of the list item, typically a period, colon, hyphen, em dash, question mark, exclamation point, or similar character.
Note: Only formatting that applies to all the lead-in text is repeated in the next list item. Formatting that applies to a section of the lead-in text is not repeated in the lead-in text of subsequent list items.
Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces Indent the first line of a paragraph by putting the cursor before the first line, and then pressing the Tab key. Indent the whole paragraph by putting the cursor before any line in the paragraph (except the first line), and then pressing the Tab key. To remove an indent, put the cursor before the first line of the paragraph, and then press the Backspace key.
Define styles based on your formatting Applies a built-in style to manually formatted text when the text has the same formatting as a built-in style.

On Dear old slutty Katie Couric, is anyone surprised? I mean she presented a story on the "Happy side of Global Warming".
And CBS wonders why their news ratings are tanking...
Also in cancer news: Tony Snow's is back. I didn't even realize he'd had his whole colon removed. Yikes.
Andrew, "slutty" Katie Couric? How so? Because she's a female in a high position?
I'm no big fan of Katie, but WTF is the big deal? Wasn't that the first thing everyone thought when the Edwardses made the announcement? I mean, she didn't call her a faggot or anything...
Tony Snow: So now we know that lying causes cancer.
someone should post later about the yahoo story on a guy who jogged around the world.
Katie only needed to ask the question once, rather than the 4 or 5 times MSNBC showed last night. It was also a little hypocritical to suggest that Edwards should quit the race and take care of his wife while Katie continued to do the Today Show while her own husband was dieing of cancer.
elsie the cow,
last night on conan, there was a funny skit about 'hypocrite' mr. rogers style make-believe
I look forward to Gonzales getting the boot, but I don't think he had anything to do with that child sex scandal. As the US Attorney General, he doesn't review every case presented to every District Attorney.
With all the scorn heaped upon Edwards, I'm assuming that Tony Snow is resigning IMMEDIATELY, right? And Katie = hypocrite. And rtw, why do you assume Katie was called slutty because she's a female in a high position? Because Andrew is a male?
Couric was ok on the Today show, but she's not gonna last long on the nightly news because of stuff like that. She's brought too much of the Today show over to the hard news side and it shows. I miss Walter Cronkite and John Chancellor.
That being said, US news both national and local is nearly unwatchable for me. For whatever reason our TV news agencies ignore almost anything in the rest of the world except Iraq and Israel or something related to those two countries. Most of the daily newspapers are not much better. It's why most of this country is much more ignorant than many other parts of the world. Couric is just carrying on what has become the tradition turning the evening news into a new version of the Today show. Putting her on at 60 Minutes actually detracts from their hard news component. I'd rather see them bring Lara Logan on more often.
I hope more prominent news outlets would pick up on the injured soldiers story AND Erica's earlier story about women in the military. Two more nails in the Bush coffin.
Can Bush & Cheney be charged with war crimes against Americans?
elsie, you're such a lil cutie. are you fnarf's intern?
him, no, I wasn't assuming, I was asking. Is there any reason for calling her a slut? Is her sex life depraved and wanton enough (and relevant to her ability to report the news) to warrant such a label?
If not, though, then yeah, I will have to assume she's being called slutty for no other reason than that she's a woman in a high position.
So I'm asking, is there any basis for calling her slutty?
I think among the kids (and maybe among the gays) "slut" has become a kind of general-purpose epithet that doesn't imply or assume anything about the target's sexual habits. Kind of like "bastard" no longer has any bearing on a person's parentage or (il)legitimacy.
As for Giuliani, is anybody surprised? His supposed lead was the result of some pretty questionable polls, so it was subject to radical change as soon as the real Republican electorate started paying attention. And with his history of support for liberal positions (notably abortion and gun control) he's poison for the "base"; Romney has the same problem. In the end, McCain is the right's only consistent true believer, even if he flip-flopped on other issues (mostly ones that he cares more about than the "base" does, and he's flipped towards them on most), and he has no clue what his own position is on things like birth control (which actually reflects his voters quite accurately). He's the one who carries the banner on the social issues that twist panties in the red states. And that may be a good thing: with his unwavering support for an unpopular war, and without the dead hand of Rove manipulating things behind the scenes, McCain may ensure a Democratic victory no matter whom the Dems pick as their candidate.
@ #14, Well I agree but I was refering to the pics of Katie chugging gallon jugs of guys' jizz. But you know, we all need hobbies.
Okay, Joe, thanks for the clarification. Kids these days... whatever happened to good wholesome insults, like retard and homo? Anyway, I'm going to start calling everyone slutty now. I don't like Katie Couric, I think she's obnoxious, but at least it's not that slut Dan Rather anymore. And then Schieffer! What a slut.
re: the injured deployed: when it's running low on cannon fodder, a despicable governement's gotta do what a despicable government's gotta do. doesn't anyone understand the pressures the bush adminstration is under!? where's the downside? they obviously don't give a shit about the repugnican party as a whole, they are never held to account by a spineless bitch of a congress, so why not just go for broke?
All 3 of the network news programs can suck it. Whatever our weird channel #36 is here (it's just some random station tucked between CW and Channel 11 that broadcasts in Chinese most of the day) airs English versions of Russian and German news, it's on when I'm getting ready for work and I'm hooked.
So Katie will be the first to scold Tony Snow that he hasn't announced his retirement yet?
#20 For the analogy to work, Katie would have to scold Tony Snow's wife if she didn't quit her job.
I work with 3 people with cancer and I went through a kidney transplant and was out of work for 6 weeks last year. It should be up to the patient whether they want to work or not (as long as they can). I think if Mrs. Edwards wanted John to quit and take care of her, he would.
EXTC @5: If you happen to have any desire to become a thoughtful and intelligent person, you would realize your comment is inane, sophomoric, and rude. Although Tony Snow is a political adversary, those that have followed his career gladly acknowledge that he is an astute and intelligent political commentator. Unless we're barbarians, we can at least admire his determination and wish him all the best in his most mortal battle.

Now, this is a little bit harder for me. I do enjoy shopping -- a lot. But, if I had to choose, I think…

OVERVIEW -- We placed our ratings on two classes from Merrill Lynch Floating Trust's series 2006-1, a U.S. CMBS transaction, on CreditWatch with negative implications. -- The CreditWatch placements reflect additional interest shortfalls on these classes due to a nonrecoverable determination on the larger of the two remaining collateral in the trust. NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Dec. 18, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed its ratings on two classes of commercial mortgage pass-through certificates from Merrill Lynch Floating Trust's series 2006-1, a U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) transaction, on CreditWatch with negative implications (see list). The CreditWatch negative placements reflect interest shortfalls to these classes as reflected in the Dec. 17, 2012, trustee remittance report due to a nonrecoverable determination made by the master servicer, KeyBank Real Estate Capital (KeyBank), on Dec. 12, 2012, on the Royal Holiday Portfolio loan, the larger of the two remaining collateral in the trust. According to the December 2012 trustee remittance report, interest not advanced totaled $143,975 and shorted all of the outstanding classes in the trust. As of the Dec. 17, 2012, trustee remittance report, the trust consisted of two floating-rate interest only loans indexed to one-month LIBOR, both of which are currently with the special servicers. The one-month LIBOR rate was 0.208% according to the December 2012 trustee remittance report. The Royal Holiday Portfolio loan, the larger of the two remaining loans in the trust, has a trust balance of $65.0 million (66.3%) and whole-loan balance of $103.0 million. The total reported exposure in the trust is $74.8 million. The loan is secured by six full-service hotel properties totaling 1,501 rooms in various cities in Mexico. The loan was transferred to the special servicer on Feb. 11, 2010, due to delinquency. The special servicer, CT Investment Management Co. LLC (CT), indicated that the borrower filed for bankruptcy in Mexico while the special servicer filed suit on behalf of the lender to seek payment under the loan's recourse guaranty. CT expects a lengthy litigation process. CT stated to us that updated operating statements for the collateral properties are not available. A $131.1 million appraisal value as of Nov. 30, 2011, was reported by the special servicer. The Crowne Plaza Hotel San Antonio loan, the smaller of the two remaining loans in the trust, has a trust balance of $33.0 million (33.7%) and a whole-loan balance of $59.0 million. The total reported exposure in the trust is $33.1 million. The loan is secured by a 410-room full-service hotel in San Antonio, Texas. The loan was transferred to the special servicer on Feb. 6, 2012, for a technical default after failing a performance test as well as imminent maturity default. The loan matured on June 11, 2012. The special servicer, Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, is currently pursuing various workout strategies, including foreclosure. The current reported occupancy at the property is 64.0%. KeyBank reported a 3.39x debt service coverage for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012. The July 12, 2012, appraisal valued the property at $43.0 million. Standard & Poor's will resolve the CreditWatch negative placements as more information regarding the potential workouts of the two remaining loans becomes available. STANDARD & POOR'S 17G-7 DISCLOSURE REPORT SEC Rule 17g-7 requires an NRSRO, for any report accompanying a credit rating relating to an asset-backed security as defined in the Rule, to include a description of the representations, warranties and enforcement mechanisms available to investors and a description of how they differ from the representations, warranties and enforcement mechanisms in issuances of similar securities. The Rule applies to in-scope securities initially rated (including preliminary ratings) on or after Sept. 26, 2011. If applicable, the Standard & Poor's 17g-7 Disclosure Reports included in this credit rating report are available at "RELATED CRITERIA AND RESEARCH -- Rating U.S. CMBS In The Face Of Interest Shortfalls, Feb. 23, 2006 RATINGS PLACED ON CREDITWATCH NEGATIVE Merrill Lynch Floating Trust Commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 2006-1 Rating Class To From K BBB+ (sf)/Watch Neg BBB+ (sf) L BBB (sf)/Watch Neg BBB (sf)

Diabetes Health Center
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking medicines, such as insulin, or sulfonylurea medicines for type 2 diabetes.
- Having kidney failure. Both insulin and C-peptide are removed from the body by the kidneys. C-peptide levels may be high in a person with kidney failure.
- Being obese. More insulin is made in obese people and can cause high levels of C-peptide.
What To Think About
- A C-peptide test must be done at the same time as a blood glucose test. To learn more, see the topic Blood Glucose.
- A person with new type 2 diabetes often has a normal or high level of C-peptide in the blood. Over time, a person with type 2 diabetes may develop a low level of C-peptide.
- To help tell the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and to help guide treatment, most doctors look at a person's age, weight, and how long symptoms have been present. In rare cases, a C-peptide stimulation test may be done to help tell the difference between the two types of diabetes. During a C-peptide stimulation test, a blood sample is taken to measure C-peptide. Then a shot of a hormone to increase blood sugar (glucagon) is given into a vein in the arm. Another blood sample is taken. In people with type 1 diabetes, C-peptide levels will be low because the pancreas cannot make any insulin in response to the glucagon. In people with type 2 diabetes, C-peptide levels will be higher than the first blood test because the pancreas is making more insulin in response to the glucagon.

I went fiddling into the BIOS 2.14.1219 of my Asus UX31A laptop, wanting to enable network booting, to give it a test ride. Except I did not fiddle with even one setting, as the BIOS boot menu was plain lacking items. The items were not grayed out, they were not into a zone of the screen I forgot to check, as I triple-read each word from top-left to bottom-right, they were not just there,
in particular there was the classic
"Delete Boot Menu Item" - but its essential companion "Add Boot Menu Item" wasn't there.
I checked and triple-checked the security menu, no passwords are set. No one ever uses my computer, and no proficient computer user that knows what a BIOS and would perversely want to hack my computer for their own dark designs ever enters my home, only computer-illiterates.
Still it seems highly unlikely that a BIOS got corrupted in a way that yet permits complete and functional use of the computer. So what did I forget to triple-check?
Thanks a lot, this is perplexing!

Stress Relief on the bellicon
Our bungees are built to take stress. Why not give them yours?
It may sound strange to recommend exercise for relaxation, especially to someone who's been on their feet all day, but it's one of the best ways to relieve stress.
Even just few minutes on the bellicon at the end of a hard day can make a big difference to your health and happiness: increasing blood flow to underused muscles, loosening overused ones, and releasing endorphins, our brain's natural calming aid. Just the act of focusing on a physical task like rebounding clears your head and removes tension more quickly than you'd imagine.
Stress Mangement
Regular Aerobic Exercise
Most of us know that stress isn't just a burden, it can be a killer, with side effects ranging from headaches, insomnia, and weight gain to mental health and physical problems, including heart attacks, strokes and heart diseases. With a busy lifestyle, and little time or energy left over for taking care of ourselves, managing stress can be a stressful job in itself. Fortunately, there are healthy ways to cope with stress, exercise being one of the best.
According to the Harvard Medical School, "Regular aerobic exercise...has a unique capacity to exhilarate and relax, to provide stimulation and calm, to counter depression and dissipate stress."
Overcoming Stress with the bellicon
One of the pleasant side-effects of exercising on the bellicon is that the mere act of bouncing up and down on our trampoline provides immediate relaxation, physical as well as emotional. There is something naturally calming about the act of bouncing. Whether, as some suggest, it's an unconscious association with our pre-natal movement or being rocked in our cradle, or whether it's just so pleasantly different from our normal, daily movements, there is something very relaxing about the act of bouncing.
Not only does the motion tend to clear your head of stressful thoughts, but the automatic tension and relaxation of the muscles improves your blood flow, increasing the oxygen content in your body and contributing to your sense of well-being. Bouncing on the bellicon will loosen your muscles, lubricate your joints, and give your entire body a gentle, healthy means of draining away the pressures of your day.
A bellicon workout also brings emotional relief through the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters that your body releases during exercise. Endorphins are natural "mood boosters" that make you feel more peaceful, centered, and help to counter the effects of stress and anxiety.
"The root cause of stress is emotional…but stress control can — and should — also involve the body…physical fitness will help promote mental fitness." *
Small Steps can make a Big Difference
The causes of stress (overwork, changes in your environment, physical or emotional trauma, etc.) and the results of stress (depression, lack of sleep, eating disorders, unhealthy weight gain or loss, etc.) can make it very difficult to find the time or the energy for exercise.
For those using the bellicon, it helps to remember that just a little bit of time bouncing each day can make a big difference. For that reason, we encourage our customers keep their bellicons in plain sight, if possible, which helps them to remember to grab a few minutes of healthful, relaxing exercise in the midst their day.
It also doesn't matter what your present fitness level is: the anti-stress, burnout relieving effects don't require a heavy workout. At bellicon, we actually spend a lot of time and energy reminding our customers not to overdo it. Gently "health bouncing," as we call it, will produce wonderful benefits, including relaxation, making the anti-stress effects available to everyone.
"Even if you're downright out of shape, you can still make a little exercise go a long way toward stress management."
Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise-and-stress/SR00036)
Further Benefits of the "bellicon less stress" program
Regular workouts on the bellicon will reduce your physical stress by improving your overall health, but it will also help in some ways that you might not guess, like improving your mental performance.
The American Heart Association notes that, "Your mental acuity and memory can be improved with physical activity," and that "regular physical activity can relieve tension, anxiety, depression and anger. You may not only notice a "feel good sensation" immediately following your physical activity, but most people also note an improvement in general well-being over time."
Regular rebounding will also help to set better sleep patterns, aid in digestion, and stimulate the lymphatic system to remove toxins from your body, all of which helps to keep you healthier and feeling better, further reducing stress.
bellicon takes the stress out of stress management
Combined with the calming effect of bouncing on the bellicon, you'll know that you are simultaneously improving the health of your entire body. Which should also give you some well-deserved peace of mind. Give yourself just a few minutes a day on a bellicon and let our rebounder soak up your stress, leaving you refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
Don't just take our word for it...

Helps when I feel burnt out
Now, after using it VERY GENTLY for two and a half months, I feel more balance in my body. When gently bouncing, (it's just more of an up and down swaying) I keep my feet on the mat, because higher bouncing with feet off the mat made me too tired too quickly. So, my bouncing is soft and easy...Read complete review

Great fun!
Before purchasing my bellicon, I really didn't know much of what I could do on it; I only knew that it looked like a blast and that's exactly what it has proven to be. What's not to like about a workout that makes you feel like a kid again. The best part is that there's no preparation no bundling up...Read complete review

Diabetes Health Center
Managing Diabetes With Exercise: 6 Tips for Nerve Pain
Before You Start: Safety First
- If you have nerve pain, get the go-ahead to start any new form of exercise from your doctor. You don't want to make diabetic neuropathy worse - and most diabetic people are at higher risk of heart and circulation problems, so your doctor may want to check your heart, eyes, and feet.
- Be cautious about exercising if your blood sugar is over 250, says Trence. "For some people it may be a little higher or lower," she says, "but it's an approximate number above which, clearly, we want people to watch and see what happens. See what your own body does."
- Check your blood glucose before and after exercise so you learn how your body and medications responds to different kinds of activity, advises the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Tip 1. Go for Low-Impact Exercise
Knowing you're doing something safe -- especially if you have painful neuropathy or loss of sensation removes one barrier to exercise: fear. Change to something that would be low-impact or even non-weight-bearing, says Trence, such as aerobic classes where you're sitting in a chair or using an exercise ball. Other options:
- Swimming . Water supports your muscles, bones, and joints as you swim, especially helpful if you're overweight or have diabetic nerve pain in your feet. A longtime favorite of exercise experts over the years, swimming avoids the pounding on your feet, knees, and hips from a high-impact sport like jogging.
- Yoga . "I think yoga is underutilized in people with diabetes," says Trence. "It's a wonderful exercise, particularly for people who need to be more controlled in their movements and not be pounding the pavement."
- Cycling. Biking is safely low-impact - as long as you stay safely aboard - and you can ride outside for a change of scenery, or ride with a friend on stationary bikes in a health club.
Tip 2. Shoot for 30 Minutes, 5 Days a Week.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) advises being active for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. The good news? Vigorous yard work like raking leaves and housework like vacuuming count as "activity."
- Start with a short warm up period to help prepare your muscles, heart and lungs. Gentle stretches for five to 20 minutes help reduce injury.
- Build slowly over time, so you keep feeling successful and having fun.
- Don't worry if, some days, you can't do a full 30 minutes all at once. You can meet your daily goal of 30 minutes with 10 minutes of yard work in the morning, 10 minutes of vacuuming after lunch, and a brisk 10-minute walk after dinner.
- Start with simple things, says Trence, like parking farther from the door or using the stairs when you can.
Tip 3. You Don't Have to Sweat.
All exercise isn't alike. Aerobic exercise raises your heart rate, helps you lose weight, and does make you sweat. But all your exercise doesn't have to be so hard that you need to sweat to reap the benefits. Try strength training, like lifting weights, and working on your flexibility by stretching or taking a yoga class.
- Mix it up. Try a combo of activities that build your aerobic fitness, strength, and flexibility. You'll get more benefits - and be less prone to injury and boredom.
- Modification is the key. If you can't do a regular push-up, for instance, you can do a few push-ups against a wall, so it's a lot less work for your arms and shoulders. Go for a sense of success: if you feel successful, you're more likely to stay with it.
- You don't have to spend money for club dues. With so many exercise videos and DVDs out now, says Trence, people can exercise at home and try new things.
Tip 4. Make It Fun.
Choose activities you enjoy - or at least enjoy some aspects of. Otherwise, it's a cinch you'll back out when your commitment flags. So don't join the dance workout at the Y just because your wife loves it - though if you're a music lover, a dance class could be just your style. Bowling might be right up your alley. But if you've never had any hand-eye coordination or "ball sense," then taking up tennis or volleyball may not be your thing.
- Think back to high school or college: what did you love to do back then? Were you a great softball player, golfer - or love to shoot hoops? Look for a club, gym, or community center where you can join a pick-up league.
- Find people at your fitness level, so you won't feel overly frustrated.
- Fun is unique to each person. For you, something may be fun because it's new. For others, pleasure is something familiar and comfortable. Know thyself, and trust thyself.
Tip 5. Make It Social.
Behavioral medicine experts all agree: social support helps keep you going when the going gets tough. And what's tougher than trying to make lifestyle changes?
- Make regular weekly dates with a friend, neighbor, or family member to walk or exercise with you. You may be more likely to stay committed since you won't want to let the other person down.
- Consider joining a local walking or hiking club, so you get outside, get some fresh air, and meet new people. You may find it's easier to exercise when you let others do the planning.
- Check out groups like a softball team, volleyball team, or cycling club. Your local Y might have a swim team for adults. Or a local school may need a volunteer coach.
Tip 6. Try Something New
In the wake of the fitness boom, you have more choices than ever for new forms of exercise. Avoid boredom or feeling like exercise is a chore by trying something new.
- Try a water aerobics class or other swim class at your local pool.
- Take a class in a new sport or activity, like golf, badminton, kayaking, or ballroom dancing.
- Try yoga, tai chi, and other exercise that enhances your mind/body connection, encourages relaxation, and brings on a sense of well-being.
The bottom line? The more fun you have with it, the more likely you'll create a healthy, active lifestyle that invigorates you and helps you manage diabetes for a lifetime.

He builds it up, step by step, and you don't move on until you've absorbed and understood the previous point. And, as Michel Thomas said, 'What you don't understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' With parallels to the way you learned your own language, each language is learned in 'real-time' conditions. There is no need to stop for homework, additional exercises or vocabulary memorization. A 'virtual' classroom The classroom situation on the recording lets you learn with others. You enjoy their success, and you learn from their mistakes. The students on the recordings are not reading from scripts and they have received no additional instruction or preparation - just the guidance you hear on the recording. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class. There's no such thing as a poor student, only a poor teacher This is an important part of the Michel Thomas Method. Full responsibility for your learning lies with the teacher, not with you, the pupil. This helps to ensure that you can relax and feel confident, allowing you to learn effectively. Why it works: Learn another language the way you learned your own You learned your own language naturally and enjoyably: now you can learn Spanish in the same way. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. Use the unique method perfected over fifty years by the celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. This method works with your brain, helping you to build up your Spanish in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out the answers for yourself. You learn through listening and speaking without the pressure of writing or memorizing. You pick up the language naturally and unforgettably. Join the millions of people worldwide who have learned a new language with the Michel Thomas Method. Learn Anywhere Don't be tied to chunky books or your computer, Michel Thomas Method audio courses let you learn whenever you want: at home, in your car, or on the move with your MP3 player. How does it work? - Listen: collect words effortlessly by listening - Connect: create your own mental tool kit by understanding how words fit together - Speak: put the words back together to build sentences, naturally Michel Thomas - The man behind the method Michel Thomas was a gifted linguist who mastered more than ten languages in his life-time and became famous for teaching much of Hollywood's "A" list how to speak a foreign language. Film stars such as Mel Gibson, Woody Allen, Emma Thompson and Barbara Streisand paid up to GBP18,000 each for face-to-face lessons. He even taught Doris Day Spanish to enable her to sing the hit song, Que Sera Sera, with confidence! Michel Thomas' remarkable life experiences fuelled his passion for teaching languages. Michel Thomas was born Moniek Kroskof, the only son of a Jewish family who owned a textile factory in Poland in 1914. As a young boy, Michel was sent to live in Germany to escape the anti-Semitism directed at his family. Living in Vienna in 1938, when the Nazis annexed Austria, Michel was rendered stateless as a Jew. He fled the country for France, and when the Germans invaded he joined the French Resistance. He spent two brutal years in French concentration and slave labour camps, narrowly avoiding being sent to Auschwitz. He escaped, surviving capture, interrogation by Klaus Barbie and torture by the Gestapo. His mastery of languages enabled him to adopt many identities. At the end of the war, he masterminded operations to uncover war criminals and infiltrate underground Nazi groups. In 1944, Michel was nominated for the Silver Star medal for his service to the US Army's 45th Infantry Division in France. The award was finally presented to him in May 2004, sixty years later. It was during Michel's wartime experiences, particularly his torture by the Gestapo, that he discovered his ability to block out pain and unearthed the untapped potential of the human mind. The only way he survived his wartime experiences, particularly his capture by the Gestapo, was by concentrating and placing his mind beyond the physical. He said, "I concentrated so hard, that I stopped feeling pain. I was amazed at myself." Fascinated by this experience, he was determined that after the war, he would devote himself to exploring this further and dedicated his life to education. "I contemplated the untapped reserves of the human mind. The great hidden depths of the brain. I learned from it" In 1947, he moved to Los Angeles and set up the Michel Thomas Language Centers and taught languages for over fifty years in New York, Beverly Hills and London. Michel Thomas died of heart failure at his home in New York City on Saturday 8th January 2005. He was 90 years old. Michel remains the world's greatest language teacher and an inspiration and mentor to learners everywhere.

Eric Lyon: Music Composition for HDLA's (High Density Loudspeaker Arrays)
Composing computer music for large numbers of speakers is a daunting process, but it is becoming increasingly practicable. This talk argues for increased attention to the possibilities for this mode of computer music on the part of both creative artists and institutions that support advanced aesthetic research. We first consider the large role that timbre composition has played in computer music, and posit that this research direction may be showing signs of diminishing returns. We next propose spatial computer music for large numbers of speakers as a relatively unexplored area with significant potential, considering reasons for the relative preponderance of timbre composition over spatial composition.

Auriel Washburn: Anticipatory Synchronization of Chaotic Behaviors in Humans and Artificial Agents
Abstract: Coordinating one's behaviors with that of another individual is fundamental to successful social interaction. In most instances, such interaction is effortless and efficient, even when we are faced with highly variable and often unpredictable behavioral events. Key to achieving such coordination and cooperation is being able to predict or anticipate the behaviors of other individuals. Research investigating the mechanisms that support behavioral anticipation has traditionally focused on hypotheses formulated to explain how the human nervous system compensates for the temporal delays that occur between the production of a movement and the perception of its outcome (i.e., feedback).

I had a nasty MySQL problem arise the other day. I added two new columns to table 'Promotions' (13 existing columns, ~750 records) using the PHPMyAdmin interface. This query ("ALTER TABLE.....") never fully executed and locked the table, so that each subsequent query to 'Promotions' would hang and queue up. It took me about an hour to realize this was happening, and the problem was resolved by me rebooting my database.
Are there standard precautions that need to be taken and known issues that arise from altering database schemas? I have never seen this kind of locking happen before.

About Marcella1016 : I'm starting to think of myself as a defender of FMLers. A lot of people seem to think people deserve their misery, and unless they did something douchey, irresponsible, or reckless, I usually disagree, and I'll defend them regardless of thumbs. I also enjoy inserting a witty comment now and then :)
Also, for anyone who may be wondering, the photo in my profile is a banana, vanilla bean ice cream, and rum flambé right after it was lit. And yes, it was delicious :)
No it's not I changed it. It's now Captain America looking like he's about to sashay down someone's runway.
On the app, so no personal messages para mi.

Marcella1016's FML badges
You see, sonny boy, moderating FMLs is a bit like running a marathon.
You read an FML that mentions a badge, and in return you've been awarded a badge. A badge inside a badge.

I am a very new C# programmer and I am trying to make a kiosk application more accessible by increasing the size of fonts. No problem on the main form. I'm having a problem replacing messageboxes (for which I believe there is no way to increase the font size) with small forms with the same message.
This is where I'm running into the problem. The main form can't "see" the error form and its label to set the text. I have tried setting a property for the private label on the error form, but it's still not working.
I would be very grateful for any assistance. I have been trying to apply what I've learned in reading several threads from various C# sources.
Two strange things I have noticed but am so new to C# that I don't know what they may indicate: (1) In the MainForm when I type ErrorForm. the Intellisense list of suggested code pops up but the variable LblNotCheckedInBecause does not appear on the list. (2) The compiler error says something about the LBlNotCheckedInBecause.get statement and it seems like to me it should be refering to the set statement since I'm trying to set that value.
Here are the parts of the code that I believe are involved and if any additional code is needed, just let me know:
From the bottom of ErrorForm.Designer.cs...
private System.Windows.Forms.Panel panel1;
private System.Windows.Forms.Label lblNotCheckedInBecause;
public string LblNotCheckedInBecause // property I created to try to be able
// to change the label
get { return this.lblNotCheckedInBecause.Text; }
set { this.lblNotCheckedInBecause.Text = value; }
From MainForm.cs... MessageBox.Show("You were not checked in because of the following reasons:" + sErrors); // this is what I'm trying to replace ErrorForm.LblNotCheckInBecause = "You were not checked in because of the following reasons:" + sErrors; // this line is causing a compiler error

DESTINATIONS; Farms Where Turkeys Are Raised to Be Gobbled
By JOSEPH D'AGNESE
Published: November 7, 1999
''HELP WANTED'' reads the sign hanging outside Ronny Lee's farm market in Hightstown. This is the time of year when Mr. Lee anxiously seeks extra hands to help him perform an unsavory but necessary seasonal chore. ''We hang the sign up, but we don't say what it's for,'' he said. ''People come in and inquire, and then we'll break it to them.''
Mr. Lee raises apples, peaches, pumpkins, corn and a host of other crops on his 54-acre farm in Mercer County. But his farm, built circa 1868 and his family's home for six generations, is famous for its Jersey-grown turkeys, fat, corn-fed gobblers that sell for $1.49 a pound, plucked, dressed and ready for the oven. Last year, Lee's Turkey Farm filled 2,000 orders for customers wanting freshly killed birds for Thanksgiving. Mr. Lee expects about the same number this year, but as always, he'll need a little help.
Meanwhile, Larison's Turkey Farm Inn and at Hinck's Turkey Farm, two of the state's other major turkey purveyors, are also gearing up for the gobbler season. Each caters to a slightly different market.
At Larison's, a 53-year-old restaurant ensconced in a farmhouse in Chester, patrons dine amid antiques, Tiffany lamps and stuffed-animal trophies. ''We get a lot of comments from people who say they came here as a kids,'' said Louise Blaine, whose cousin, Arthur McGreevy, has owned Larison's for 27 years. ''They like being able to bring their kids now.''
You could just let Larison's do the cooking for your dinner and swing by to pick up the bird in time for the meal. A ready-to-serve turkey, fresh from the oven, is $3.50 a pound and comes with two quarts of gravy. But you must order a 28- to 30-pounder.
That kind of takeout meal -- not to mention sandwiches, salads and trimmings -- is the year-round specialty of Hinck's, a four-store, family-run chain, which has raised its own birds on a farm in Wall Township since 1938. Hinck's, too, roasts whole turkeys for customers' tables but limits the number of orders. (Dinner for 10 runs $61; for 15, $83, and for 20, $123.) ''We're going to be careful about taking too many orders,'' said Bob Longo, whose father-in-law, Richard Hinck, started the business. ''I could probably take more orders and make more money, but I don't want to stress the system.''
No other holiday calls upon one's ability to pull together a flawless meal, and turkey houses feel the pressure, too. ''It's such a traditional meal,'' Mr. Longo said. ''Everyone knows how it's supposed to be.'' All those expectations come to roost at the dinner table. And that has dictated how much business Mr. Longo accepts on this day. ''When a customer sits down with one of our birds, we want it to be perfect,'' he says. ''Therein lies our future.''
And as he says, the meal itself has ties to the past. Historians are far more certain that eels and venison were served at the first Thanksgiving in 1621 at the Plymouth Colony than that turkey made an appearance. Gov. William Bradford's official record of the holiday menu notes only that he sent out four men hunting and they returned home with numerous ''fowles.'' What those were is anybody's guess.
The tom turkey we all grew up drawing in grade school is at once vain and wily. To attract a mate, he flares his bronze-brown feathers like a peacock. Stalked by hunters, he uses those same feathers to camouflage himself in the woods. ''One of the common misconceptions is that these birds are stupid,'' Mr. Lee said. ''They are not. Well, my guys are not as swift as wild turkeys. They think I'm their mama because I raised them since they were a day old. But hunters need to be pretty skillful to catch a wild turkey.''
For Mr. Lee and his family, turkey season starts in June, when they begin to receive day-old poults, as the babies are called, from a hatchery in Ohio. Not one of those turkeys will ever resemble the one emblazoned on the bottom of your serving platter. ''These all have white feathers,'' Janet Lee said. The Lees' birds occupy comfortable quarters in the family barn.
All summer long they gorge themselves on corn, but these animals are clever diners. ''We feed them once a week,'' Mr. Lee said. ''We literally put all their food for a week right in front of them. If you did that to a dog, he'd eat it all and make himself sick. But turkeys know enough to eat and give it a rest.''
When people -- the Lees, their visitors or children on class trips -- to visit the barn, the curious turkeys flutter en masse to the front of their barn fence to greet them. And as they go about their work, the Lees hear their occasional telltale calls. Toms make the traditional gobble; hens utter a different sound. ''It doesn't really sound like a gobble, gobble to me,'' Mrs. Lee says. ''They make a barking sound like a seal.''
The silence of the birds comes in the two weekends and the week before the holiday, when Mr. Lee and his $8-an-hour hired hands -- men with regular jobs as varied as accountants, jet mechanics and stock car designers -- go to work filling orders. Customers from Texas, Florida, Georgia and California have been known to arrange business trips to drop by the farm and pick up their birds.

Was Marx right? or How efficient are laser driven interstellar spacecraft?61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17291View Description Hide Description
The idea of a laser driven space vehicle capable of interinterstellar travel was raised 25 years ago. The original article by Marx [Nature 211, 22–23 (1966)] presented a relativistic calculation that contained conceptual and numerical errors. Here the inconsistencies of the original article are corrected. Marx's calculations are generalized to the case where the laser is of variable power, and to the interesting case where the laser beam is recycled by means of mirrors. The obstacles to this form of interstellar travel appear insurmountable, but the calculations provide an excellent example of the application of relativistic ideas.
The measurement of astronomical parallaxes with CCD imaging cameras on small telescopes61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17292View Description Hide Description
Small telescopes equipped with charge‐coupled device(CCD) imaging cameras are well suited to introductory laboratory exercises in positional astronomy(astrometry). An elegant example is the determination of the parallax of extraterrestrial objects, such as asteroids. For laboratory exercises suitable for introductory students, the astronomical hardware needs are relatively modest, and, under the best circumstances, the analysis requires little more than arithmetic and a microcomputer with image display capabilities. Results from the first such coordinated parallax observations of asteroids ever made are presented. In addition, procedures for several related experiments, involving single‐site observations and/or parallaxes of earth‐orbiting artificial satellites, are outlined.
Negative mass can be positively amusing61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17293View Description Hide Description
Some insights into gravitation and mechanics, as well as some surprises, result from considering the dynamics of negative mass particles.
Force exerted on a stationary charge by a moving electric current or by a moving magnet61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17294View Description Hide Description
Retarded fields are used for deriving the force exerted on a stationary charge by a slowly moving current‐carrying conductor or a slowly moving magnet. The derivation makes use of the fact that a neutral current‐carrying conductor, when it is moving, creates an external electric field. Although the presence of this field is generally regarded as a strictly relativistic effect, it is shown that this field is deducible from the basic laws of classical electrodynamics, without any recourse to relativity. In terms of classical electrodynamics, a moving neutral current‐carrying conductor creates this electric field because of unequal retardation of the electric potentials associated with the positive and negative charges of the conductor. This field must be taken into account for the correct computation of the force exerted by moving current‐carrying conductor or a moving magnet on a stationary charge.
Student programming in the introductory physics course: M.U.P.P.E.T.61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17295View Description Hide Description
Since 1983, the Maryland University Project in Physics and Educational Technology (M.U.P.P.E.T.) has been investigating the implication of including student programming in an introductory physics course for physics majors. Many significant changes can result. One can rearrange some content to be more physically appropriate, include more realistic problems, and introduce some contemporary topics. One can begin training the student in professional research‐related skills at an earlier stage than is traditional. An interesting point to note is that the inclusion of carefully considered computer content requires an increased emphasis on qualitative and analytic thinking.
Heisenberg picture in quantum mechanics and linear evolutionary systems61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17296View Description Hide Description
A straightforward procedure is presented to derive the propagator in simple quantum systems. This approach enables us to define a state which behaves as a generalization of the well‐known coherent state of the harmonic oscillator.
A simplified physical picture of phase conjugation using k‐space formalism and ray optics61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17297View Description Hide Description
Using a simple geometrical construction in k‐space and a ray‐tracing procedure, the overall nature of the phase conjugation process is examined. The usefulness of the k‐space formalism and the ray‐tracing procedure as instructional tools is demonstrated by analyzing various cases.
Interference fringes between two separate lasers61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17298View Description Hide Description
In a modern, generalized version of Young's two‐slit experiment, it is shown that two separate pulsed lasers can generate visually observable, transient interference fringes of high contrast under the simple and obvious condition that the temporal and spectral structures of the interfering pulses overlap. In a second experiment, a picosecond streak camera allows the observation of spatio‐temporal interference fringes between two waves having different frequencies.
The hydrogen atom in a semi‐infinite space limited by a conical boundary61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17299View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom in a semi‐infinite space limited by a conical boundary, with the nucleus at the vertex, has an exact solution in spherical coordinates. The limit in which the conical boundary becomes a tight sheath around its own axis corresponds to a ''one‐dimensional'' hydrogen atom with an infinitely degenerate ground state at the ionization threshold. This model of an atom in a semi‐infinite space includes as a special case the pioneering plane‐nodal‐wave‐function model used by Levine in 1965 to describe an isolated donor atom on the surface of a semiconductor.
Aspects of Debye shielding61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17300View Description Hide Description
The Debye shielding is derived in a simple way without assuming Boltzmann's equilibrium. The conditions under which it applies and some of its consequences are discussed at the elementary level.
Chain sliding off a table61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17442View Description Hide Description
This paper presents a detailed analysis and a numerical solution of the familiar, yet often mistreated problem, of a chain sliding off a frictionless table top under its own weight.
Motion of a falling spring61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17301View Description Hide Description
The motion of a spring, initially suspended from its top end and hanging in equilibrium in the earth's field, and then released and allowed to fall, is studied. The difference between the behaviors of loosely wound and tightly wound springs is emphasized.
A bifurcation problem in hydrostatics61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17302View Description Hide Description
The equilibrium positions of a partially submerged rod supported at one end are considered. Simple examples of bifurcations occur, and the breaking of these bifurcations by an ''imperfection'' is discussed.
Parameter bias elimination for log‐transformed data with arbitrary error characteristics61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17303View Description Hide Description
A method of eliminating parameter bias in linear fits to log data (typically from exponential decay experiments) is extended to cases with arbitrary error statistics. This includes the common case of errors proportional to the square root of the value. Also it is observed that the elimination of the bias can be important for data sets with as few as 50 points.
Classical degeneracy and the existence of additional constants of motion61(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17304View Description Hide Description
The relation between degeneracy of classical frequencies in integrable systems and additional global constants of motion is investigated from a general point of view. It is shown that in autonomous systems with N degrees of freedom the existence of Λ<N such additional invariants imply Λ global linear relations with commensurate coefficients between the frequencies, and vice versa. Furthermore, such a degeneracy gives rise to a specific structure of the Hamiltonian considered as a function of action variables. The general statements are illustrated by various examples.

Bindi Controversy Has Hindu Group Condemning Selena-- Again
It's not envious Beliebers that are bashing Selena. Now, it's Hindus
Rajan Zed, president of the enraged Hindu group, demanded that Gomez stop demeaning sacred Hindu symbols by wearing the religious accessory.
"Selena should apologize and then she should get acquainted with the basics of world religions," Zed said in a statement to WENN. "[The bindi] is not meant to be thrown around loosely for seductive effects or as a fashion accessory aiming at mercantile greed."
But for Selena it's not just a fun fashion statement; it's a way to connect with her music.
"I think ['Come and Get It'] has that Hindu, tribal feel and I wanted to translate that," Selena said in an interview with Elvis Duran on the Z100 morning show back in April. "I've been learning about my chakra, and bindis, and the culture ... It's beautiful."
Selena isn't the first star to wear a bindi as an accessory; Julia Roberts, Katy Perry, Madonna, Gwen Steffani, and Miley Cyrus have all worn the emblem at one point, according to E! News. And they're not exactly hard to come by. Online stores like Etsy and Vision of India sell thousands of decorative bindis -- no religious affiliations required.
What do you think? Should Selena apologize for her bindi-wearing ways -- or is this Hindu group overreacting? Sound off in the comments section below.
