EARNING IT; Technologies That Enable The Disabled
By BRUCE FELTON
Published: September 14, 1997
WITH meetings, paperwork, phone conferences and a travel schedule that eats up three weeks a month, Urban Miyares doesn't get much reading done during the workday. So Mr. Miyares, a San Diego businessman who runs the Disabled Businesspersons Association, rises at 6 most mornings and spends an hour or so catching up on E-mail, reports and business magazines before leaving for the office. In the evening, he picks up where he left off, typically reading into the small hours.
Although Mr. Miyares is blind, Braille is of little use to him because the diabetes that destroyed his vision also deadened the nerve endings in his fingertips. Instead, he reads with a remarkable device called a Kurzweil Reading Edge optical scanner, which takes about five seconds to absorb a page of print and begin converting it to spoken text.
Mr. Miyares exemplifies the degree to which so-called adaptive or assistive devices have allowed people to sidestep their disabilities and perform at peak levels. Some devices, like his Kurzweil scanner, rely on highly sophisticated technologies; others are as low-tech as amplified telephones and motorized wheelchairs.
''If I had been born 50 years earlier, I'd be sweeping floors instead of running a business,'' said Christopher D. Sullivan, a former Wall Street technical analyst who is deaf and heads Merrill Lynch's Services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Investors in Plainsboro, N.J. ''Technology is what makes the difference.''
In recent years, an entire technology sub-sector has burgeoned with the express purpose of capitalizing on the growing market for assistive devices. A spokesman for Henter Joyce Inc., a company based in St. Petersburg, Fla., that specializes in computer screen reading devices for the blind, would not disclose earnings figures, but said its work force had tripled to 24 in the last year. LC Technologies, a small company in Fairfax, Va., that makes eye-activated computers, said orders had increased sharply in the last six months. And, according to Voice Information Associates, a market research firm in Lexington, Mass., the market for speech-to-text products, projected at $410 million in 1997, should top $4.3 billion by 2001.
Top-tier technology companies like Xerox, which makes the Kurzweil scanner, likewise joined the parade.
But this isn't to suggest that all mainstream technology companies have kneed and elbowed one another in the race to make their existing products accessible.
''It's only been two years since Microsoft finally agreed to make its Windows software accessible to the disabled,'' said Lawrence Scadden, who is blind and serves as a senior program officer for the National Science Foundation in Washington. ''I'm positive they made the decision only when the states of Massachusetts and Missouri and the Social Security Administration said they wouldn't buy Windows because it wasn't usable by blind persons.''
Luanne LaLonde, the accessibility product manager for Microsoft, said, ''It's no secret that these actions brought pressure on us to place even greater emphasis on an effort that had already been in place.'' She added that the company had made accessibility a priority for six years and that Windows 98, the next version of its signature operating system, ''will be inherently even more usable by vision-impaired users,'' with automatic adjustments of screen size and contrast, among other features.
Not surprisingly, technology has made its greatest difference in the seven years since the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Along with banning employment discrimination against disabled persons, the act requires businesses with 15 or more employees to provide ''reasonable accommodation,'' a catch-all phrase that ranges from gadgets that allow disabled workers to do their jobs to ramps and widened doorways that let them get to their jobs in the first place.
Large companies appear to have moved most quickly toward making those accommodations. ''The problem is that 80 percent of all jobs are with smaller businesses, where there is more misinformation and discrimination,'' said Doris Fleischer, co-author, with Frieda Zames, of ''From Charity to Confrontation: The Modern Disability Rights Movement,'' soon to be published by Temple University Press. ''Big companies doing business with the Federal Government have been required to provide accommodations since 1973. Smaller companies, which typically don't depend on Federal contracts, are still struggling to accept the idea.''
One common fear is that accommodating disabled workers is expensive. ''Building a one-step ramp to make a store wheelchair-accessible costs less than $400,'' said Dr. Fleischer, who teaches humanities at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. ''Mounting a table on blocks so that a mobility-impaired employee can use it costs virtually nothing. These are minimal investments, but they open a large and invaluable talent pool to employers.''
Just how large is open to debate. The National Organization on Disability, based in Washington, says 49 million Americans are disabled, with 29 million of prime working age, from 21 to 64, of whom half are employed. But some say those figures are low. ''Start counting people with dyslexia, diabetes and other hidden disabilities, and you're over 100 million,'' Mr. Miyares said.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
DC's week of non-stop announcements keeps on keepin' on: At CBR, Dan DiDio has announced Legacies, a seven-issue miniseries spotlighting the "five generations" of DC Universe superheroes. Written by Len Wein and featuring art from a rotating crew, the series kicks off in May 2010 with a Golden Age issue penciled by Andy Kubert and inked by his father, Joe Kubert.
The thing that struck me about the project, aside from how integral "legacy heroes" are seen as being to the current DCU, is the "five generations" characterization. Sayeth DiDio:
Legacies is a series that breaks down, over its chapters, the five generations of the DCU. They're very concise generations, each with a beginning and end, and what you see is the various incarnations of our characters evolve, change and grow as the generations pass on.
Now, as I'd understood it — and I admit I'm not a hardcore DC buff, but I think my nerd credentials speak for themselves — there were four generations of DC superheroes. In terms of present continuity, you have the guys who fought during World War II, then the generation headed by Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the "Big Seven," then the first wave of sidekicks and heirs, then the second wave of sidekicks and heirs. In current team terms, that's roughly the Justice Society, the Justice League, the Titans, and the Teen Titans; in Flash terms, just to pick the easiest chain of legacy heroes to follow, it's Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West and Bart Allen.
But DiDio and Wein are firmly establishing an even-earlier generation of do-gooders, more properly dubbed "mystery men" than "superheroes" — guys like the Golden Age Sandman or the star of Legacies #1, the Crimson Avenger. In other words, suits rather than Spandex. I can see how that would work: It tips a hat to the pulps in a fashion similar to DC's First Wave — and it leaves me wondering if the series will establish antecedents to the established patriarchs of multi-generational hero family trees like the various Flashes or Green Lanterns. Do any of you DC experts out there have any thoughts?
I'm still not sure where the fifth generation comes from. Yes, the original Sandman and Crimson Avenger were pulpish Shadow-like characters in suits, capes, hats, and masks. (By the way, when DC was publishing Shadow comics in the '70s, it established the Shadow on Earth-1 as one of Batman's inspirations.) However, both the Sandman and the Crimson Avenger were contemporaries of the other Golden Agers, and both joined Golden Age teams (the JSA and the Seven Soldiers of Victory, respectively).
Now, post-Crisis On Infinite Earths DC has tried a couple of times to establish various Golden Age characters as "the first superhero." I think the GA Flash got the honor at one point, but by the mid-'90s DC had settled on the Crimson Avenger. If the dividing line between "mystery-men" and "superhero" separates cape-and-suit from spandex, then I suppose the cape-and-suit Crimson Avenger could be the first mystery-man and the Flash could be the first superhero. However, as far as I know they don't belong to different generations in the sense that there's a big age difference.
And there are (arguably) antecedents to the Flash/Jay Garrick and Green Lantern/Alan Scott, but they're a little further back in DC history and not really connected to the legacies. Max Mercury started off in the Old West before his speed caused him to time-travel; and the Green Lantern: Dragon Lord miniseries from several years back told the story of an Oan power ring and battery landing on Earth in feudal Japan.
So there you go.
There was another age established in the series Chase between the Golden and Silver Ages that featured the Justice Experience.
I just assumed that the fifth generation was the current younger sidekicks like Damian Wayne and Lian Harper – but I could be wrong.

This is the most infuriating problem ever.....
I have a page that has a good amount of text on it, and an image. When I add this sentence, it won't save
"Once you complete these steps, all you need to do is go to the Gallery, browse around for the theme you like, and order it right from the gallery. "
It basically just goes for a very long time as if it's saving then goes to Page now found for page.php.
At first I thought it was a length of post issue (i ran into this with joomla at one point), BUT, if I type "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs." and copy and paste that 10000 times, it works perfectly.
I have tried to systematically go through and change each word, thinking maybe one of the words wasnt translating well to saving in a database (my only possible explanation why that sentence won't work but another one will which is far longer). it would simply not work until I got to a word, then it would go right away to page.php error rather than hanging for 30 seconds. Then I would go back in and change only that word and it hangs again!
I know I can go into phpmyadmin and edit the pages there, but thats beside the point. My site is for a business so I edit the pages a lot. going into phpmyadmin every time is not something I'm going to do.
Ive also tried this on a separate install of wordpress on a completely different server and it had the same problem.

Tetrarc Architects: La Fabrique
For the city of Nantes, Nantes agency Tetrarc Architects has designed La Fabrique, a cultural ensemble dedicated to performing arts and emerging music located on the Ile de Nantes. Recently delivered, this program consists of two concert halls in 1200 and 400 seats, 16 rehearsal studios and recording, creative spaces, experimentation, exhibition, bar, on the a restaurant, a cultural café and offices.
On this project, the agency said Tetrarc: "The meeting of history and live cultures This project compiles evocation of a place that the previous story to remind deserted at the time of" re "creation for emerging forms of expression that culture proceeds by continuities, sedimentation, rediscovered fertile.

From Our Editors
Managed by certified laser specialist and medical technician Paula Prescott, the highly trained staff at Lasting Impressions Laser zaps away unwanted strands with the Cynosure Elite device. The apparatus deploys two wavelengths—one at 755 nanometers, the other at 1,064 nanometers—onto targeted follicles to safely deactivate them with heat and strongly worded cease-and-desist letters. Because of the laser's double-photon barrage, light penetrates deep into offending fuzz faster than single wavelength treatments and with less discomfort. The skilled techs can further augment physiques with SilkPeel microdermabrasion, which use customized topical solutions to exfoliate and cleanse skin.

Honda is set to shake up the estate market with a Tourer version of its Civic hatch, revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.
The sporty five-door is billed as a concept, but don't be fooled: this is pretty much how the production car will look when it appears at September's Frankfurt show, before going on sale early next year.
The coupe-like window line follows the trend of premium models like the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake and Jaguar XF Sportbrake, and deflects some of the criticism of the hatch's looks.
Engines will include Honda's new 118bhp 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel, and although no figures are available yet, this is likely to emit less than 100g/km. Also likely is a 2.2-litre diesel, plus 1.4 and 1.8-litre petrol cars.
Honda hasn't ruled out a hot Type R Tourer to rival the Ford Focus ST estate. This would feature a 2.0-litre turbo with as much as 300bhp, as in the Type R hatchback, which is already confirmed.
The Civic Tourer will be built in Swindon, Wilts, and will go head-to-head with the new British-built Toyota Auris estate, plus estate versions of the Focus, Renault Megane and Skoda Octavia.
Honda expects the Tourer to account for 20 per cent of Civic sales, and although it hasn't released any boot figures, it says the car will blend its sleek design "with class leading cargo space" – so expect a load bay that easily eclipses the 1,502-litre maximum capacity of the Focus Estate.
Also on Honda's Geneva stand is a CR-V with the same 1.6 i-DTEC diesel as the Civic. In the bigger SUV, this emits 119g/km of CO2, and reduces road tax bills to £30 a year.

'CAR' RIDE: Veteran rock act Heart [1] makes its first appearance on Billboard's Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart in more than 16 years, as "Hey You" debuts at No. 30.
The song introduces the group's first studio album in six years, "Red Velvet Car," released yesterday.
"The heat at radio reminds me of the old days," Heart's Nancy Wilson recently told Billboard. "It's good to see stations adding ('Hey You') and people requesting a simple love song I've had in my back pocket for quite awhile."
Heart had last graced the Adult Contemporary survey with the No. 24-peaking "The Woman in Me" (originally a No. 33 Billboard Hot 100 hit for Donna Summer [2] in 1983) the week of Aug. 6, 1994. The band charted the first of its 11 Adult Contemporary entries with "Dreamboat Annie," which peaked at No. 17 in 1977. The act has enjoyed one No. 1 on Adult Contemporary, "These Dreams," which reigned for three weeks in 1986.
"Hey You" marks Heart's first appearance on any Billboard airplay chart since "Oldest Story in the World" reached No. 22 on Heritage Rock in July 2004.
SWEET 'NIGHTMARE': Four weeks after securing its first Billboard 200 No. 1 album with "Nightmare," Avenged Sevenfold [3] collects its second leading song on Active Rock, where the set's title cut ascends 2-1 as the ranking's Greatest Gainer.
The band had previously topped the Active Rock airplay list with the first of its seven chart entrants, "Bat Country," which spent three weeks at No. 1 in February 2006.
"Nightmare" concurrently rises 4-3 with Greatest Gainer honors on Rock Songs, surges 16-7 on Heritage Rock and bullets at No. 13 on Alternative Songs.
LOVE FOR 'LIKE': As he returns to No. 1 on Latin Songs for a 13th week with "Cuando Me Enamoro," Enrique Iglesias [4] collects his 28th top 10 - among 30 chart visits - as "I Like It" bounds 12-8. With the jump, Iglesias ties Chayanne [5] for third-most top 10s in the chart's 24-year history.
Here is an updated look at the artists with the most top 10 tracks on Latin Songs. Iglesias holds the mark for most No. 1 titles, with "Cuando Me Enamoro" representing his record-extending 21st topper.
Total Latin Songs Top 10s, Artist
39, Luis Miguel [6]
29, Cristian Castro
28, Chayanne
28, Enrique Iglesias
24, Marco Antonio Solis
22, Gloria Estefan
22, Ricardo Montaner
20, Ana Gabriel
20, Los Tigres Del Norte
"I Like It" concurrently becomes Iglesias' fourth No. 1 on Tropical Songs. Assuming the throne with a 10-1 vault, the song is the third to blast to the chart's summit from No. 10 or lower in the past six weeks, joining Prince Royce's "Stand By Me" (10-1, Aug. 14) and 24 Hrs' "24 Horas" (14-1, Aug. 7).

The new iPhone models 5c and 5s caused a big storm when they were released earlier this autumn, but despite Apple being one of the world's best-loved brands there are still millions of people who do not get on with their products. If you are one of those who simply cannot understand the hype surrounding the latest Apple gadgets then read on for some of the best alternatives to the iPhone 5c and 5s.

The HTC One makes an immediate impact – it looks great and the full metal unibody has been well received. It was released back in spring but is still one of the best smartphones of the year thanks to its capabilities and features. However, the camera is far from the best on the market.

Hoffman will make his fourth appearance in the annual global challenge when he lines up for Melbourne against Leeds Rhinos at Headingley on Friday, February 22.
"I think it's the closest we get to the Champions League in soccer," Hoffman told his club's website www.melbournestorm.com.au.
"It shows just how special it is when you get teams from two different competitions with different styles and different players.
"It's a great concept, personally I'd like to see it expanded, maybe to a six or eight-team competition. I think in that form it can really boost the profile of rugby league."
Hoffman, who was in the Wigan team that lost to St George Illawarra in the 2011 global challenge, was in Melbourne's 21-strong squad that flew out of Australia on Sunday morning.
They will set up camp in London before moving to Yorkshire next Sunday to finalise their preparations.
"We at Storm take it really seriously," Hoffman added.
"There's a trophy up for grabs and any time you get the chance to go for a trophy you want to take it.
"We've worked really hard during the pre-season and we're going to use this as a yardstick to see how we're going."

Corrections & Amplifications
Most of the Palestinian detainees to be released as part an Israeli-Palestinian agreement have been convicted in Israeli courts of violent crimes. A Page One article on Wednesday about the Obama administration's Mideast peace campaign incorrectly called them "political prisoners" in one reference.
General Motors Co. GM 0.41 % 's ignition-switch recalls included 2005 and 2006 model-year Pontiac Pursuits. In some editions Wednesday, a chart accompanying a Page One article about a House probe of the recall incorrectly referred to 2007-2010 Pontiac Pursuits.
Charles Keating and his wife had five daughters and a son. A Remembrances obituary in some editions on Wednesday failed to mention the son. Also, Mr. Keating's father worked at a dairy; the article incorrectly said he was born to parents of dairy farmers.
The last name of Robert Johnston, director of enterprise software at NCR Corp. NCR 0.71 % , was misspelled as Johnson in a Marketplace article on Wednesday about the Windows XP operating system.
The Bangkok-based law firm Tilleke & Gibbins was misspelled as Tilleke & Gibbons in a Page One article on Monday about intellectual-property protection in Thailand.
The Marylebone section of London is a traditional French hot spot. A map accompanying a Mansion article on Friday about London real estate incorrectly designated the area as an American hot spot, by showing an American-flag indicator on it rather the French.
The municipality of Princeton has a borough form of government after a consolidation of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township in 2013. Princeton was incorrectly referred to as a township in a March 22 article about Princeton University. Also the Dinky train spur is owned by NJ Transit; the article incorrectly implied it was owned by the university.
The name of the Spence School was misspelled as Spense in an article on Wednesday about expansion plans by several Manhattan private schools.
Photo captions in the Heard & Scene column in some editions on Wednesday reversed the identifications of performers Jeremy Jordan and Marc Kudisch.
The name of Pew Charitable Trusts was given incorrectly as Pew Charitably Trusts in an article on Wednesday about the New Jersey budget.
The first name of the actress Keri Russell was misspelled as Kri in a photo caption of an Arts & Entertainment article on Wednesday.
The surname of Paul O'Beirne was misspelled as O'Breine in the photo caption of a Pop Scene item on Wednesday.

The costume is such great quality and I was delighted that it arrived so quickly. The dress is very flattering and comfortable and is really effective with the arms and wings. The wings also have a clever shaping mould on the top to retain the shape. I also purchased a long silver/white wig and body paint. I cannot wait to wear this!

Breakaway Catholics
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Independent Catholic churches. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2015.
|This article does not cite any sources. (July 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Catholics not in communion with Rome, or Breakaway Catholics, are those religious groups that, while consciously embracing Catholic tradition, have chosen to separate from the Roman Catholic Church. They differ from Protestantism in that they practice rites, rituals and devotions specific to Catholicism and do not reject a Catholic identity. Their decision to follow a separate hierarchy most often stems from a perception on their part of a need to do so caused by a failure in the institution of the church.
These groups can be grouped into a number of categories:
- Traditionalist Catholics:
A number of Traditionalist Catholic groups, who have advocated for a restoration of many or all of the liturgical forms, public and private devotions and presentations of Catholic teachings which prevailed in the Catholic Church before the Second Vatican Council, have left the Roman Catholic Church and begun their own religious organizations. Most of these schismatic Traditionalist Catholics belong to the Latin Rite, although some groups are part of the Byzantine Rite.
- Old Catholics:
The Old Catholic Church is a Christian denomination that split from the Holy See in the 1870s because they disagreed with the solemn declaration of the doctrine of papal infallibility promulgated by the First Vatican Council (1869–1870). The Old Catholic Church holds close to ideas of ecclesiastical liberalism (Liberal Christianity).[citation needed] The Church is not in communion with the Holy See, though the Union of Utrecht of Old Catholic Churches is in full communion with the Anglican Communion.
- Groups that broke with Rome over perceived injustice and / or hierarchical abuses
Some groups such as the Polish National Catholic Church arose as a result of grievances relating to the second-class status of immigrant Polish Catholics by the American Irish and German dominated church hierarchy. Ethnic grievances still play a role in the church today as in the case of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish in St. Louis, Missouri.
In 1534, King Henry VIII of England, who had previously been awarded the title "Defender of the Faith" by the Pope, signed into law the Act of Supremacy, placing the ecclesiastical governance of the Catholic Church in England (Ecclesia Anglicana), under his own jurisdiction in order to grant himself an annulment from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, establishing the independence of the Church of England from the See of Rome. Since the English Reformation the English Church, known as the Ecclesia Anglicana or Church of England, has experienced various other reforms over the centuries, all the while maintaining its via media character as established by the Elizabethan Settlement of 1558, wherein the church was understood to be both Catholic and Reformed.
List of breakaway churches[edit]
- American National Catholic Church
- Apostolic Catholic Church
- Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church
- Catholic Mariavite Church
- Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association
- Fraternité Notre-Dame
- Mariavite Church (not to be confused with the Catholic Mariavite Church)
- Old Catholic Church
- Old Roman Catholic Church
- Palmarian Catholic Church
- Philippine Independent Church
- Polish National Catholic Church
- Rabelados, traditionalist Catholics in Cape Verde
- Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church
- National Catholic Apostolic Church in the United States - www.ncacus.org

Unit 5 email experienced intermittent outages, as well as voice mail issues, earlier this week. Everything has been restored to working order. Unit 5 will begin a process to move away from our current email platform Microsoft Exchange and is instead moving to Gmail. This move is necessary due to the fact that the current Exchange/Version/Server is past its end-of-life and the performance issues continue to mount. The problems this week further reinforce our decision to make this change. The migration is set to begin summer 2016, and will be completed by August 2016. Thank you for patience as we work through these issues.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
The new Marvel: Avengers Alliance Facebook game launched … well, I'm not quite sure, to be honest, when the game officially launched, but I started playing it late last week, much to the detriment of every other Facebook game I used to play (which, admittedly, was down to one … Dragon Age, I hardly knew ye…). Designed by Playdom, one of Marvel's sister companies within the great Disney media empire, the game allows players to assemble a team of Avengers from all corners of the Marvel U. to fight through various missions involving a host of villains.
Avengers Alliance shares several characteristics with many other Facebook games, including:
It's relatively easy to get started, as the game gives you a brief tutorial that walks you through the basics of the control panel and how to fight. You run your team from a helicarrier — a helicarrier! — which gives you access to a flight deck (so you can send your heroes on various missions when you aren't playing, which nets you more coin) as well as list of tasks you can complete over time for additional bonuses and experience.
In the game, you're a SHIELD agent who is given command of your own team of Avengers, with Maria Hill and Nick Fury there to offer advice and set up your missions. The first activity in the game is to customize your agent; create someone you like to look at, because you'll be seeing them a lot throughout the game. He or she is there for every mission, in every fight, as he or she teams up with various Avengers to take down the bad guys. Speaking of which, the game is broken into 10 chapters with six missions each … each mission, at least the ones I've played so far, feature about six different encounters with various henchmen as well as fights against two bosses. For instance, the fifth mission in chapter one features battles with Frost Giants, the Destroyer and eventually Loki. There are also side missions you can send your heroes on where they go off to do something off-screen … essentially making them unavailable for a battle, but they come back with something potentially helpful like a gadget or an extra bonus item.
The encounters are scattered around New York, with landmarks both real (Empire State Building) and fictional (Avengers Mansion) popping up on the maps. Playdom gets points here for the little details and for the nice design work they did throughout the game.
Five missions are free to play, while the final one is a premium mission … in the first chapter, for instance, you can purchase a battle against the Abomination that also gives you the Hulk for your team. Or you can just skip over it and move to the next chapter. (edit: actually these missions become available to you when you buy the character … that wasn't clear when I first wrote this. There's not an "extra" cost for them beyond that).
As for the fights, well, they're the crux of the game, and Playdom doesn't let you down … they're a lot of fun:
Above you'll see my agent, Agent Jack, teaming up with Iron Man and Thor to fight Loki. Each boss encounter allows you to team up with an Avenger you may not have in your stable … in this case, Thor joined Iron Man and my agent to take down his brother. Which the three of us did with much joy. Each character has various powers at their disposal and various class bonuses they can use … She-Hulk, a "bruiser" gets enraged when a "scrapper" hits her, while Hawkeye, a "tactician," gets an extra turn if he attacks a "blaster." So a lot of times the battle can be won just by choosing the right classes to send into the fight. Your SHIELD agent can change their class based on the type of armor you put on them. It took me a few battles to figure this out, but then again I'm a shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy. Once I realized this, I started dominating a lot more battles than I had been, so it was worth reading the text to see who I was fighting and sending in a team that matched up against them well.
Once your characters gain enough experience, they can level up.
Your SHIELD agent will do so automatically, but your heroes will have to be trained. Which costs both silver and what they call SHIELD points. In additional to silver, SHIELD points and gold (which costs real $$$ or is earned at various points in the game), there's also a currency called command points, which you can use to buy additional heroes for your team. And they cost a wide range of command points–I bought Cyclops for 15 of them, while characters like Spider-Man and Captain America cost 130. At the beginning of the game you're given three characters — Iron Man, Black Widow and Hawkeye — with the option to buy more once you earn enough command points. I also got an additional hero for free at the end of chapter one (I had the choice of five, and I went with Iron Fist) and I assume that probably happens each time you finish a chapter. Command points are fairly hard to earn, at least more so than silver or SHIELD points, and the fact that you have four different kinds of currency seems needlessly complicated. And it always seems like I have plenty of one resource when in fact I need another to advance.
That's probably my only complaint with the game, though. I've played many other Facebook games, and while this one doesn't seem to have any game play features I haven't seen before, it has several advantages, the biggest being that hey, it's the Marvel Universe, smack dab in the middle of Facebook. The attention to detail is great, from the maps to the power sets to the writing. It also features a deep array of characters to choose for your team–granted, if you can get enough command points. Any game that allows you to play as Sif, Black Cat, Nightcrawler or Iron Fist has to be a winner, right? And finally, for a comics fan who is friends with other comics fans on Facebook, it's been relatively easy to find other folks who are playing the game … and I don't feel as bad asking those who aren't to join in the fun as I would if, say, I was sending them a lame Farmville request.
Anyway, if you're a comics fan, particular a Marvel Comics fan, they made a Facebook game that's worth a few minutes of your time to check and see how much fun it could be.
yeah they need an easy way of getting command points
You get 5 command points when you reach 5 stars in a mission.
Also, premium missions are described incorrectly in the article. They don't give you characters – they require them. They don't cost money, as well.
Premium missions cost 130 command points, and if you're able to reach that amount without the aid of some gold, then please share your secret. Also, according to the description next to them, it says purchasing them gets you both access to the mission and one of the high-priced characters … Hulk in chapter one, Spider-Man in chapter three, etc.
The game is great, I just wish I didn't have to wait 6 hours for my energy to completely refill. I'd gladly buy this game on one of the portable systems, a console, or as an app. Take $30-$40, just don't make me wait to play a game I can't get enough of!
I love this game… and you can gift multiple times… so I've been sending out SHIELD points and restoration kits… constantly. This is one game I'd put money in… because it's NOT from Zynga!
It's a fun game, but i'd be lying if I didn't admit to be disheartened by the limit of shield points. I don't like bothering my friends on facebook, so all my superheroes are stuck at level 2.
It's a cool game, but I don't think I'll stay very invested due to the facebook "recruit all your friends" style of play. It's a shame because I really like it.
Just wondering what is needed to play chapter 7 as there is no description and I have everything completed atleast 1 star or better with complete chapters finished and still cannot play chapter 7 and up.

Euthanasia in veterinary medicine
Over a year ago
I wanted to know if it is required to euthanize animals in vet school. I am getting different answers when searching this online. Also, I wanted to know if there has ever been a vet who doesn't euthanize animals, even if they worked with another vet who would euthanize. Just questions, so please no arguments about how "humane euthanasia is". Because if it was a fact that euthanasia is the "right" thing to do, than why can't we do it on humans?

If you dont want to Euthinize animals then dont become a vet, What are you going to do if a dog comes in whos been run over and its Spine is smashed beyond repair are you going to say OHH sorry I know hes in alot of pain but its aginst my beliefs to Euthinize a animal. How utterly Selfish of youYou must be logged in to reply to this topic.

peacelovepie and nomeatnodairynoproblem are right. It's sometimes a hard thing to do, but sometimes it is the only humane option you have left. Euthanasia is a quick death which is more humane than many other methods.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

@DefenderofAnimals I'm pretty certain that's part of the job. You will also have to handle sick and dying patients, but sometimes you will get to help them instead. It is a serious trade-off, but you have to make it.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Humans are euthanized in certain situations. We call it pulling the plug.
Many other humans wish to be euthanized (see: Jack Kevorkian) but some small-minded people stand in the way.
There are many situations in which euthanasia becomes the best option for an animal.
For example: A life-saving procedure is required but the technology isn't available to perform the procedure, or there is no doctor willing or able to perform the procedure (possibly because no one is willing to fund the procedure).
In this case, you can either keep the animal anesthetized until she dies or you can euthanize her.
Sometimes no one is willing to pay for the large amount of anesthetic needed to keep the animal free of pain until she dies, or no doctor is willing to provide/administer the amount needed, leaving you with a choice between euthanasia or a slow, painful, horrible death.
The real question is not whether or not euthanasia is sometimes the right thing to do, but rather whether or not the current methods of euthanasia are the best methods.
The claim is that the most popular current method (pentobarbital/sodium thiopental injection) is peaceful and painless but I've seen no good evidence to support this.
The claim appears to be primarily based on the fact that the animal's body quickly goes limp after injection but this says nothing about what's going on in the animal's brain after injection.
Also, there have been animals that have come back to life hours after being euthanized (even after their bodies have already been discarded in the trash).
Obviously some serious re-evaluation of the injection method needs to take place.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

yes but notice how when humans are euthanized, it's to punish them but when animals are euthanized it all of a sudden becomes "the right thing to do".You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

This Man Can Make Any Song Sound Amazing On The Mandolin
Chris Thile is a genius. Like, a MacArthur-certified genius. Why? Because with a mandolin in his hands, he makes amazing happen.
1. This is Chris Thile. He won a MacArthur Genius Grant. They give these out to smart people.
Frazer Harrison / Getty Images
2. What makes Thile such a genius? The fact that he can make ANYTHING sound amazing on mandolin.
Matt Carr / Getty Images
3. He started out in a little band called Nickel Creek.
4. They released their first album when Chris was 12. They were Grammy nominated by the time he hit 20, and Grammy winners when he turned 22.
5. Then Chris grew up. Got a little older.
Scott Wintrow / Getty Images
6. Figured out how to do that thing with his hair.
7. Yeah, THAT thing.
8. And he kept making awesome music. The fact is, he makes everything sound good on mandolin. For starters, here's a bluegrass classic.
Awesome. Predictably awesome.
9. But Thile's not just a bluegrass guy. You want him to do something bigger? Oh, how about… The Strokes? Yeah, he's got that.
10. Radiohead? Hell yes.
13. How about some Bach? Yes, yes he can.
15. A jazz collaboration with fellow Genius Grant winner Edgar Meyer? ALL KINDS OF YES.
16. A Bulgarian folk tune played in a super obscure timing structure? Sure, why not?
17. An 18th century Scottish lyrical poem? Against all odds, he'll crush that, too.
18. Something more modern? Maybe some Britney Spears? Give it to us, Chris.
19. A Josh Ritter cover? With an insane solo? Absolutely.
20. The Cars? Yup, he's even got that, too.
21. The truth is, Chris Thile has magic hands.
Via youtube.com
22. Which makes him the most dangerous man in the world — with a mandolin at his fingertips, at least.
23. So rock on, Chris.

Motorcycle crash leads to DUIJuly 22,2013Motorcycle crash
leads to DUI
GUILFORD — Police said a Vernon man was under the influence of alcohol when he crashed his motorcycle into the back of a van Friday evening.
Around 6 p.m., Vermont State Police responded to a crash on Route 5. According to police, Brian A. Cobb, 36, was riding a motorcycle when he tried and failed to pass a van. Instead, police said, he drove his motorcycle into the rear of the van.
Cobb was taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released. None of the occupants of the van were injured.
After receiving medical treatment, police charged Cobb with drunken driving and released him with a citation to answer the charge Aug. 6 in Brattleboro criminal court.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

First off, great plugin! It's by far the best one out there for category-based email lists.
I've been configuring this plugin to work with category (segment)-based subscriptions. I've found a bug where if a post is assigned to multiple categories, the API only requests MailChimp to mail an email to the FIRST segment in the segment/category list.
For example, if I have categories in my AutoChimp plugin that correspond to segments (with the same name):
1. Alpha
2. Bravo
3. Charlie
And I send to all 3, then it only sends to users in the Alpha list. If I select Bravo and Charlie, then it only sends to Bravo.
Is there any easy way to fix this? If it's a limit of the API only supporting one list, it should be rather simple to tweak it to support multiple callbacks, rotating through the selected lists. I haven't the MCAPI documentation in-depth, but in theory it should be a rather simple logic fix.

Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Whitehall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitehall Traffic[edit]
I think the photo represents an accurate and creative display of a typical London street scene with both double-decker buses and Big Ben included in the photo. It is a very realistic shot that helps visually explain Whitehall street, as well as a remote view of the clock tower. In addition, it's well balanced and visually appealing. I am just looking for feedback regarding the photo and seeing if it meets the high standards of a VPC or FPC. I have another version of this photo that has the buses cropped out more and focuses more on Big Ben. I also have one that has a black shadow on the corners which creates a very nice contrast but I wasn't sure if that was acceptable editing for Wikipedia. Any feedback is appreciated.
- Creator
- Joseph Plotz

- Thanks for your nomination here. While this provides a good street scene as you suggest, there are several issues which would prevent it being featured. The primary problem is composition - while it shows the buses, the two most dominant ones in the foreground are badly cut-off. You'd need to really hit the timing or use a wider angle lens and get the buses in full view to have much chance at FPC I feel. Excluding that, EV for Big Ben is not that high, because as you say yourself it is a remote view - and we already have high res FPs of Big Ben. BTW the image is also tilted about 1° CCW. There are some other technical issues such as image noise that would also count against it. The version with the 'black shadows' you mention sounds like vignetting and is not very well received at FPC. Hope that helps a bit. --jjron (talk) 12:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Released: Dec 13th, 2010
Running Time: 127 Min.
Director: Marc Twain
Company: Bluebird Films
DVD Extras: Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Nat Turner, Lea Lexus, Cathy Heaven, Carla Cox, Ice Cold, Klarisa Leone, Lee Bang, Jason Brown, Jon Jon, Brooklyn Jade, Lee Lexus
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Interracial
It's a female doctor and a big black cock: The combination will make your head spin and your cock explode. Even these medical professionals cannot resist the power of a giant black massive rock hard rod. At the risk of losing their license to practice, these female doctors do what they must to experience the most stretched out pussies of their long hard-working careers!
Female doctors of European descent are apparently incapable of maintaining their composure around hung black American men. Or maybe it's just that way when there's a camera around.
All Jason Brown wants is his elbow looked at, but every time a female medico checks it out, she starts her search in his pants. Dr. Carla Cox is no different. Jon Jon has a similar problem, but Dr. Brooklyn Jade wants him to perform an exam on her, starting with her pretty legs and pussy.
Lee Bang can't get Dr. Klarisa Leone to understand that his head and stomach hurt, but by the end of his appointment he's managed to unload plenty of cum on her upper lip. Ice Cold gets a slow, painful shot in the ass, so Dr. Lea Lexus comforts him with her pussy.
Cathy Heaven and Nat Turnher round out the release with a surprisingly sweet doctor's office encounter.

Made a few minor modifications: added sm. chopped onion in with gr. beef while browning; rinsed meat to eliminate excess fat; added more garlic powder and italian seasoning; used no salt added tomatoes; added 1 8oz can no salt added tomato sauce; added 2 c. water (was very thick while cooking the noodles); stirred 1 tablespoon low fat ricotta cheese into each bowl of soup when serving. Will definately make it again.
This was good. Nice change. Made with 1.5 lbs ground beef, added extra can of brooth and used basil, garlic & oregeno canned tomatoes. Will make again.
Fauve, I made your soup for today's lunch. WOW, this was some really awesome tasting soup! I did however modified the soup to my liking. Besides adding the ingredients mentioned in this recipe, I also added the following ingredients... 3-1/2 tablespoons of diced onion, and 1 large clove of minced garlic, which I sauteed both, before adding them to the soup. I added a bit more of the Italian seasoing (1/4 teaspoon more). I subbed Italian diced tomatoes (which had basil, garlic & onions in it) for the regular canned diced tomatoes. I also added 1-(8 ounce) can of tomato sauce; plus when it came to adding the pasta, I used the pasta from a (6.4 ounce) box of Lasagna Hamburger Helper (which was about 2 cups - or about 4.5 ounces). That pasta worked well in this soup. Thanks Fauve, for sharing this recipe, as it was oh so good!!
I expected this soup to taste like a basic hamburger soup recipe that everyone learns to make in junior high home-ec & DH said he'd try it but it sounded gross (Lasagna "soup"). Well, this recipe blew our socks off! It was super easy to prepare with all on-hand ingredients, the house smelled like I had a lasagna in the oven & it actually tasted like a real homemade lasagna. (I do not & have never in my life eaten anything from Chef-Boyardee because I can't even stand the smell of those products & contrary to one reviewer's opinion I thought this beared no resemblance to that type of canned food.) I made as directed this time & will probably throw in some fresh onion next time but using a can of diced tomatoes with basil, onion & garlic plus the called for seasonings was just perfect. DH & DS went crazy for this & have asked for it again. It's the first meal in months that we haven't had leftovers of. And neither of them are big soup eaters. This was fabulous for quick, easy & flavorful. This will be our new go-to soup recipe. Thanks for sharing, Fauve! Made for Photo Forum's January 2009 Belly Warmers tag game.
Sorry, I just don't get it. Made this for a quick family meal last week and at best it tasted like a very bad version of Chef Boy R Dee. Wish I could say better, but it didn't work for my family.
This is a life saver, in that the ingredients are always in my kitchen and that it takes no time to make. I also added chopped onion to the hamberger while browning. I would make it again in a pinch. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you for posting this recipe. My boyfriend and I enjoyed this soup along whole grain bread tonight. We used whole grain corckscrew pasta, chopped fresh onion cooked with the beef, Italian seasoned chopped tomatoes, and fresh chopped garlic. We didn't think it tasted like lasagna, but it was tasty and a good, hearty Italian-inspired dinner.
Soup was good but kind of blah. I added some Adobo, and a can of tomato soup, and then it tasted very good.
this will be the second time making this!! tastes amazing thanks for posting
Very Yummy, I had leftover meatloaf already seasoned and I needed to get rid of some garden tomatos. I will make this again.
