The Arms Of The Lawby Jenna Ryan
Nothing can make a woman feel safer than the secure embrace of a loving lawman. Psychiatrist Nikita Sorensen was shaken by the unexplained deaths at the Beldon-Drake Hospital--and unsettled by the too-sexy homicide cop sent to investigate the crimes. Officer Daniel Vachon's bold approach toward suspects squared him with Nikita, who was bound to protect her patients' privacy, But it was soon clear someone at the hospital--a doctor with a secret, a patient out of control?--was a murderer after Nikita. And only in the protection of Daniel's strong arms did she feel safe. Only in his eyes did she see that his commitment ran beyond his badge. Would their love have a chance with a killer closing in...?

The passion that smoldered between them was rivaled only by the danger surrounding them.

Jan. 22, 1918 – Jan. 10, 2013
Austin J. Short, a 43-year employee of Linde who took part in the Manhattan Project, died Thursday in Kenmore Mercy Hospital following a brief illness. He was 94.
A 1938 graduate of Grover Cleveland High School, Mr. Short earned his bachelor's degree from Canisius College before earning his master's degree in chemistry from Canisius in 1947.
He began his career in a dynamite factory in Niagara Falls before starting a 43 year career at Linde, a Division of Union Carbide Corp., in the Town of Tonawanda. He was excused from military service for his participation in the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the production of the first atomic bomb. His team's role was to extract the radioactive uranium from the raw ore.
During the remainder of his career at Linde, he generated several patents related to his work with water treatment and the storage of liquid gases.
Mr. Short and his wife, the former Irene Murphy, were active members of St. John the Baptist Church in the Town of Tonawanda, attending Mass daily after his retirement.
In 1962, the Shorts purchased a summer home on Sunset Bay in Wainfleet, Ont. Mr. Short was president of the Sunset Bay Beach Association and regular winner of the annual association sailing race and horseshoe championships.
Mr. Short built a 32-foot sailboat in the family's backyard and christened it the "Aus-Ten," named after the builder and the number of family members who assisted. In the summer of 1986, he and his wife sailed the boat through the Erie Canal to New York Harbor for "Liberty Weekend" the four-day celebration of the restoration and 100-year anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.
In the winter, he and his family were avid skiers. Mr. and Mrs. Short were season pass holders at Holiday Valley up to age 75.
His wife died last year after 62 years of marriage.
He is survived by five daughters, Mary Maynard, Kathleen Cartus, Patricia Leslie, Deborah and Elizabeth Jaremka; three sons, Kenneth, Timothy and Joseph; and a brother, Richard.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10:45 a.m. Monday in St. John the Baptist Church, 1085 Englewood Ave., Town of Tonawanda.

Ok so what about the other 200+ million people. They just don't have health problems?
Millions of those people are on government programs of one form or another where they for the most part don't have to deal with that kind of BS.
How much healthcare do you think elderly people would get if they had to rely on private insurance companies?

why northerners resented the FSA
it required them to help search for runaway slaves, it placed fines on them if they didn't cooperate, and it jailed them if they helped slaves escape.
because of this, the northerners could no longer ignore the fact that by supporting this, they played an important role in slavery
The Fugitive Slave Act
many who drafted this bill to organize territorial governments for the nebraska territory in 1854
Stephen A Douglas
to get southern support of the K-N Act, this happened
Stephen A Douglas decided to allow the territories to decide if they wanted to be a free or slave state
in march 1855, there were more proslavery settlers than antislavery settlers in the territory. But the proslavery forces didn't want to risk losing the election so this happened
5000 Missourians crossed the Kansas border to vote in the election illegally
in may a porslavery mob attacked this town and destroyed offices and the house of the governor of the antislavery government
Lawrence, KS
to avenge the sack of lawrence, this man and seven other men went to the cabins of several proslavery people and murdered 5 people. This became known as the Pottawotomie Massacre.
John Brown
in the spring of 1856, this man delivered a speech attacking the proslavery forces in Kansas and made fun of A.P. Butler, a south carolina senator
Charles Sumner of Massachusetts
This man defended Butler and the south by hitting Charles Sumner with his cane over 30 times

For SuperGen, the key to microdosing studies would be getting into humans faster. "I mistrust animal models," says Bearss, although he's spent much of his career trying to make better ones. "Mice and rats don't make reliable human models, and even a monkey doesn't make a good human model."
Still, animal models do lots of work. "Exploratory INDs don't change how we would view using animal studies," says Brian Zambrowicz, executive VP and chief scientific officer for Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, "but it could help with ADME or pharmacokinetics to make a potentially difficult choice between promising drug candidates." He adds, "You need animal pharmacology to see if it is useful to take a compound into humans."
SuperGen might turn to Phase 0 studies if it needs to choose priorities from a group of similar compounds. In fact, SuperGen might face that situation soon. "We have three leads - two of them from the same chemical scaffold, and they are all pretty equivalent in the lab," says Bearss.
Zambrowicz and his colleagues see that benefit, too. "We considered using an exploratory IND in a case where we had two compounds, and all of our toxicology and animal pharmacology studies made these compounds look equivalent." But Lexicon hasn't turned to exploratory INDs yet.

PISCATAWAY -- A 26-year-old man was shot and killed outside a bowling alley early this morning, and police later arrested a suspect, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said.
Quadeer Hall of Rahway, was shot outside Stelton Lanes on Stelton Road, but was taken inside by the time officers responded, at 12:45 a.m., said Jim O'Neill, a spokesman for Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan.
Hall was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:30 a.m. Results from an autopsy will be released Monday, O'Neill said.
Authorities said a dispute led to the violence, and police later arrested Tywan Cobb, 29, of Plainfield. He is charged with murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
The investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information about the shooting can call Piscataway police Detective Shawn Rapach at (732) 562-1100 or prosecutor's office Investigator Scott Crotco at (732) 745-4471.

am not going to say anything about their 'game plan' or what they're running - which won't have any bearing on Rice because they won't do that game plan until after they close practice to public - but ....
I was impressed with the tempo. I've been to UCLA and USC practices for 5 years - this squad is quick off the ball - moreso than any UCLA team I've seen in practice. Jonathan Franklin is a fine, fine back; low center of gravity, cuts on a dime, burst of speed off the cut and strong - difficult to tackle. He'll average 4-5 yards a carry this year barring injury.
Brett Hundley throws a sweet ball. More importantly, he doesn't look or act like a RS freshman; more mature. Anything can happen first game, but, UCLA has a lot more talent than Rice, no question about that. I think Brett will quickly realize this and assert himself in the game and use it to establish is career at UCLA. He needs to do well (and he can against Rice) and Mora wants a huge first game to start his tenure at UCLA.
Impressed also with corrner play and defensive secondary generally. Bruins have athletes behind the front 7 and I think will get more than their share of picks this year.
Also I am impressed with how practice is run - more like a pro practice in how they move from sets and conduct themselves generally. It looks like a pro team; not a bunch of amateurs. I think the 2 weeks in San Bernardi... [More]

Pitt (+3.5)... gotta roll with Pitt in the Thursday night dog roll... they seem to do well as a dog... wish i was getting 4 points, and you might be able to closer to gametime... but then again, you might only get 3 if you wait... the best way to bet this game, is to do nothing until halftime... if, at HT, you can get Pitt at a line that gives you (+4.5) or even (+6), you are in business... prediction: Pitt 20-17
Week 2 with top 5 picks from some of covers' most respected cappers. We will add remaining write-ups when they are available. GL to all!
Mississippi State +2
Air Force -1
Florida -15
Stanford -6
Georgia/South Carolina under 50
USC -18NCST +3.5S.C -2Washington -10G.T -13
Alabama (-11): I don't expect this to be close to the spread... Penn St isn't the same as the last couple of years, and will struggle to score any point on offense... might start to look like a scrimmage at some point... prediction: Bama 42-10
Ohio St (-9.5): another mismatch for the home team... OSU defense and the hostile environment will be too much for Miami, who will most likely commit a couple of turnovers... think OSU makes a big statement in this game... prediction: OSU 35-13
Michigan (+4.5): just love getting this many points in this game... Michigan will be in this game to the end, like they always are in this matc... [More]
The idea is simple: ask some of the sharpest guys on the board to post their top selections (up to 5) in one place, with each cappers' reasoning for making his selections. Everyone is encouraged to participate, ask questions, agree/disagree, but let's please keep it civil – no personal attacks okay? I realize some of the numbers these guys bet the game at are no longer available – this will be less of a factor in the future due to less time between release of lines and posting of plays. We will try to release by Wednesday afternoon/evening of each week. Week 1 picks and analysis are below – enjoy!
TCU HORNED FROGS -13.5 - They averaged 40 ppg last year and have 9 starters back on offence. Their defense is sick and while Oregon State is nice, they are breaking in a new qb in the lions den against a team that has one focus - the national championship. They beat Stanford by 17 at home 2 years ago and rolled Utah 55-28 at home.

What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
Helen made the conjecture that "every multiple of six has more
factors than the two numbers either side of it". Is this conjecture
Jack and Zaim from London sent us this very clear explanation of why this happens.
Curtis from Shatin College used a similar strategy :
I divided all of the numbers by 11 and wrote down their remainders. Then I wrote a chart of them, in the same spot. After that, I checked in the remainder box for any pairs that added up to 11. Finally I transfered the numbers back on to the provided grid, and came up with 28 solutions for both the 11's and the 13's.
Adil from Valentines High School discovered the same property of the numbers that could be paired:

You can't talk Baseball on these forums. It's like talking to the wall. The UK really needs to become apart of American sports. Canada has done it, Japan probably will, there sport is just so boring. It's all football. And something called cricket. I don't even know what that is. That might be the game of the week at the nursing homes.
"Yankees and Mets, Yankees and Mets" That's all I've been hearing for weeks. To hell with New York! Go Dodgers! Go Tigers!
Well the Los Angeles Dodgers are only one game away from being eliminated. Talking NL the Mets are going to the championship series. But can anyone believe the Yankees! Joe Torre doesn't deserve this. George must have some headache. Personally I would like to see a Subway Series this year, but if A - Rod don't start doing what his quarter billion dollar f****n contract is, and if Randy can't beat a young team like this, it won't happen.
[Unaware that a certain moderator is a die-hard Dodgers fan, Banshee's Scream totally stepped in it. - TH]

Arts funding and bursaries 2013: Deadline time
Laurence Mackin
For many artists, the beginning of the calendar year means organising their funding, so here is a selection of some of the arts grants, funding sources and bursaries available for 2013. If you know of any more please leave them in the comments section below.
The first major deadline and perhaps the most pertinent one for individual artists, is the Arts Council's bursary awards, and the deadline for these is January 17th. These are awarded in the following areas: theatre, visual, film, literature, architecture, dance and arts. For most of these, the bursary goes up to €15,000, but for dance and arts this is capped at €10,000.
These are awards for professional artists to develop their practice and to provide artists with the time and resources to think, to research and to develop what they do, be it with their art in general, a specific piece or a particular body of work.
To qualify, you have to be a professional artist, and you have to have been born in or resident in the State. The only major restriction is that you can't be in undergraduate or postgraduate education.
The award is designed to help an artist develop their practice, and to a limited extent this may mean covering expenses such as living costs, renting studio space or time, materials or paying for third-party expertise. In a nutshell, this is more current than capital costs.
There are specific guidelines for each individual bursary available on the Arts Council website.
One particular point that should be borne in mind is that all applications have to go through the Arts Council website, which you have to register on first. Getting that initial registration confirmed can take up to five days, so first-time applicants should register immediately even if their application isn't completely ready to go.
The next Arts Council deadline is on February 7th and this is for the Festivals and Events scheme. This is for events that will take place between July 1st and December 31st, 2013 and replaces the council's older scheme for funding small festivals.
This is open to multi-disciplinary festivals as well as single artform festivals that can be one-off projects or programmed over a number of months. There are three strands of funding available.
Strand 1: Up to €10,000
Strand 2: Between €10,001 and €20,000
Strand 3: Between €20,001 and €40,000
Anyone applying to this scheme for the first time can only apply to strand one.
The third major deadline is on February 21st for four other awards: the opera production award, the traditional arts commissions award, the music commissions award and the Deis.
The opera award is to support opera productions during 2014, which is an area the Arts Council has focused on in recent years with no little success. The Arts Council is specifically looking for individuals and organizations working in collaboration or in partnerships. There is no upper limit for funding on this one, so finish off that proposal for your multimedia €20 million operatic exploration of the work of James Last.
The Traditional Arts Commissions and Music Commissions awards have an upper limit of €10,000, and are to "facilitate creative partnerships between a range of commissioners and artists" – this could be a public performance, a community engagement programme, or the presentation of a commissioned work in Ireland or abroad.
Deis is a particular scheme aimed at encouraging and facilitating the traditional arts community to seek funding from the Arts Council for a range of projects, and it has a limit of €20,000 for individual projects.
The third tranche of deadlines fall on March 21st and these are for individual projects in the areas of music, dance, film, arts, traditional arts and theatre, with a cap of between €35,000 and €100,000 on individual projects, depending on the areas concerned. So where the most immediate deadline is to support artists and their development, this is for specific projects.
In addition to these, there are four ongoing schemes that have no specific deadlines but run throughout the year. These are the Writers in Schools scheme, the travel and training awards, the visual artists in prisons scheme, and the writers in prisons scheme.
Culture Ireland supports Irish arts projects internationally. Applications under its regular grants scheme are accepted in March for projects taking place in May onwards, in August for projects from November onwards, and in November for projects in February 2014 onwards.
The organisation is currently in the throes of a major promotion of Irish arts and culture to tie in with the Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union, which has also led to a number of spin-off projects.
County councils and local area councils also administer their own arts schemes, and each has different deadlines. So get in touch with your local council and ask to speak to their arts officer, if they have one, and get details from them directly.
The Irish Film Board is the main funder of film in Ireland. Again it has no specific deadlines, but decisions are made on a rolling basis. It's a huge area covering all disciplines of film from development and training, to film funding to production costs. Decisions are made on a rolling, project-by-project basis.
FÁS Screen Training Ireland operates a Bursary Award Scheme that takes two forms: it funds people who want to attend full-time training courses and workshops abroad; and it also funds those who want to participate in a work programme within international companies and organisations.
You need three years' full time experience in a relevant area to apply for this and there is no specific deadline, but you must apply a minimum of four weeks before the programme you are planning to attend.
The Association of Irish Composers and the Contemporary Music Centre have announced a new artistic residency with the Soundscape Festival in Italy. The residency will be awarded each year to an Irish composer or performer of contemporary music.
Soundscape is a contemporary music festival and summer school that takes place over two weeks each year in Maccagno in the Italian Alps. The festival features daily concerts and seminars from faculty, students and guest artists. Students of the summer school receive regular one-to-one tuition in contemporary music performance and composition. Most importantly, artists from all over the world meet and work together there.
The recipient will be provided with transport, accommodation and expenses to the festival and they'll be asked to curate or perform a concert of contemporary Irish music. The deadline for that one is January 28th, and the festival takes place from June 30th to July 13th.
MAKE is a residential laboratory open to Irish and international participants, where theatremakers are selected to go to the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig, Co Tyrone for a week of development. This isn't a training workshop, it's a place for artists to develop their ideas with mentorship and support from three international artists. The deadline for application for this year's programme is next Monday, January 14th and the lab itself takes place from Saturday March 2nd to Sunday, March 10th. This does cost €200 to take part in, but this includes food and accommodation, and the calibre of productions that have come through the Make Lab speaks for itself –its alumni include Grace Dyas, Tom Creed and Wayne Jordan.
The mentors this year are Richard Gregory the co-founder and artists director of Quarantine, and Florian Malzacher, artistic director of Impulse Theater Biennale in Germany. A third mentor will be announced soon. If you need an absolute bluffer, lads, I'm free that week. I'm just saying.
Rehab is providing funding for young people for arts projects and career development worth €150,000 over the next five years. Awards from its new Visual and Performing Arts fund will range from €1,000 to €10,000, and applications are open to people with disabilities or with mental-health difficulties working or studying across all the art forms. It's got a wide remit: applicants need to be over 17, and they can apply for funding for a particular artistic idea or work, or to support undertaking a residency or a course of study. The closing date for this year is February 28th.
The Wellcome Trust has a series of arts awards, which support imaginative and experimental arts projects exploring biomedical science. Funding can be applied for at two levels: small and medium-sized projects (up to and including £30,000) and large-scale projects (more than £30,000). The next deadline for the Small Arts Awards is January 25th, 2013.
Yeah! Young Earopean Award (yes they are really spelling it like that) is aimed at orchestras, ensembles, composers or venues and is looking for imaginative and innovative programmes of music that engage children or young people. There's a total of €40,000 in prize money and ideas can be tendered until January 31st.
One of the many programmes marking Ireland's presidency of the European Union is the 2013 West Cork Chamber Music Festival's Young Composers Bursary Scheme. This is open to composers under the age of 30 who are of Irish nationality, born in Northern Ireland or resident on the island of Ireland, or of Austrian nationality (it's run in conjunction with Music Information Centre, Austria). Composers are invited to submit works for string quartet of between five and eight minutes' length that are based on or derived from the works of William Bunting.
Three Irish and one Austrian or Austrian resident composer will be selected to have their works performed and will receive a bursary of €500. Deadline is March 22nd.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII?
My friend is a huge fan and sent me a link last night to a trailer. It showed a guy in a church and as he walker out side there were about 100 men aiming guns at him. He obliterated them, and DAMN it was cool.
I like Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX. But I'm not a huge fan on the more recent ones on PS2. They are more about graphics than gameplay or story.
Every FF game in the past 6 years looked good in the "trailers" and such.
Then again I hate final fantasy games.
Dreamcast Fan Fo Lyfe
I hear that the video sequences are made by the producers of Advent Children, and we all know how good the animation was in that film. Damn I want to get my hands on this, first I need a PS3.
Lol wasn't this what people were saying when FFX was released on PS2? They couldn't imagine it getting better an all that.
Final Fantasy is one of the only things making me even consider buying a PS3 and even then I won't pay $600 for the thing.
~Well, it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God, I know I'm one ~
i really don't know what the whole idea of the final fantasy theme is...anybody to help? whats the plot?
I want a PS3, but I don't want to pay for it. I want it for free (like that'll happen). But a remake of FF7 just might make me want to buy it a little bit more. Especially if they made this game: http://youtube.com/watch?v=edm22Dv5Lyo

[Ed. Note: Reports are that Adam Lanza (20 / deceased in school) is the shooter according to Fox. Ryan Lanza is his brother and in custody. Weapons were M4 type rifle and 10mm handgun that belonged to the mother. See comments section below.]
from Zero Hedge:
Update: there is confusion as to whether this is indeed the correct Lanza or not. As The Inquisitor reports:
A screenshot circulating on Twitter purports to have recent updates from Lanza denying a connection to the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting:
* * *
The shooter has been idenitifed as one Ryan Lanza, 24, out of New Jersey. A quick Facebook scan has identified one Mr. Ryan Lanza in the 18-24 year old age group, out of Hoboken, NJ who lists Newtown, CT as his home city. There is one unconfirmed account of a suspect born in Newtown, CT and currently living in Hoboken, NJ, although it appears it is not the suspect in question. The mother of the suspect was a teacher at the Sandy Hook school, and she is among the dead.

All of Vidya Balan's promotional effort has finally started to pay off.
The dirty Picture has reportedly collected more than Rs. 50 Crore in the first week after being released on 2nd December. This is by any means a great achievement for any Bollywood movie.
Producer Ekta Kapoor's The Dirty Picture has surprised those who have been very critical of the success of the movie.
Not to mention all the controversies which has marred this movie since it was announced. The Dirty Picture has survived all adversities – Courts, The Indian Censor Board, the public outcry – and has come out clean. It must have been a very lucky escape for the movie makers.
The Dirty Picture reviews have been more or less positive from the critics.
The Dirty Picture has been also released in foreign countries. In UK the initial signs shows that movie has been performing well.

"He looks like me," Travolta, 56, tells PEOPLE of his bright blue-eyed 7-week-old son at the opening of the new Breitling flagship store in New York Thursday night. "He's been great. One night, he actually slept seven hours – which is unbelievable!"
The downside to having a newborn? Traveling – but only because he's away from his little boy. Travolta was in Manhattan Thursday, while his family, including wife Kelly Preston and daughter Ella Bleu, 10, were home in Ocala, Fla.
"I'll be exactly gone 24 hours, and I miss him already," says the proud dad, who will head to Berlin on Feb. 5, where he'll be honored with the prestigious Golden Camera award for his movie work.
After enduring the tragedy of losing son Jett in 2009, Travolta is again enjoying the simple pleasures of fatherhood.
"I love holding him and feeding him," he says of Ben. "My time is bottle time or when he's contented and ready to be walked around and held or taken for a walk."
He adds: "Otherwise, he's on Mom's breast. So I have to be on call … hop in when it's my turn."

We really enjoyed our stay in the balinese Cottage located in Ubud. The cottage, restaurant and pool were looking exactly as nice as in the pictures. It's a very quite place, were you can relax and just enjoy beautiful Bali beside the busy tourism streets. Gusde and his team are very friendly hosts, who gave us a very warm welcome and did their very best to make us feel comfortable. We will definitley come again!
Wunderschöne Anlage, sehr idyllisch und ruhig. Mit dem Roller den man direkt beim Gastgeber mieten kann in 5 Min. in Ubud auf der Hauptstraße. Gastgeber sind super nett, lieb. Kümmern sich wirklich um alles das man einen super Aufenthalt hat. Sehr saubere Anlage mit leckerem Frühstück. Shuttel ist vom RESORT auch perfekt. Wir würden das nächste mal nur ein privat bungalow mit privat Pool nehmen, da wo alle bungalow belegt waren wurde leider unser "wohnzimmer" als Durchlaufzimmer genutzt. Da kann aber das resort überhaupt nichts dafür! Fanden wir nur nicht so toll. Ansonsten nur zu empfehlen!
We had a perfect time at Gusde House during our honeymoon. The villa was awesome, private pool, everything was clean, the staff more than friendly, breakfast good and every morning different.
Pictures and features were exactly as described. We had a really great time and i can recommend this to everyone who is looking for a nice and quite place near Ubud center.
If you need service for driving, day trips or whatever you just have to ask and they will arrange that for you and help you with everything else.
(Dear Gusde, thank you again for everything. Greetings to Wayan - suksma)
Exceed high expectations
I booked the villa for romantic reasons with my partner.
Gusde and his lovely staff made our stay perfect. They helped me with ideas to surprise my partner with a romantic evenving at the villa.
It is a cozy, beautifull privat villa with a nice swimmingpool. Breakfast every morning different and tasty. If you want they serve breakfast al the villa.
We had dinner at the villa. It was well organized and delicious!
The best place to stay in Ubud. It exceded my high expectations.
A really really great place to stay near Ubud. Beautiful surroundings, the nicest staff, excellent location and the house was absolutely perfect. We went there with our 6 month old baby, and we enjoyed our stay. Delicious breakfast. Taxi included and always free to drive you where ever you want on Bali. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful time in the villa of Gusde House. It is on perfect distance of the centre of Ubud and therefore nice and quiet. The villa was clean and in good condition.
The team of Wayan did everything to make us comfortable. Shuttle service on request, every day a different breakfast, tips to do in the surrounding and they also arranged a bike tour for us.

Facebook, the world's largest social network with over 500 million registered users is said to have signed a deal with Skype; the world's largest VoIP calling network with more than 560 million registered users to bring together a feature that will let users to send SMS, make voice calls as well video chat with their Facebook friends. The new functionality is expected to be available in the new Skype 5.0 that is all set to be made public in a couple of weeks from now.
What is interesting is that the feature is confirmed to be available on the Skype application interface but it is unclear if a voice-calling functionality via Skype shall be made available over the Facebook web interface. That would have been a much more disruptive offering considering that Facebook has a much larger user interaction. Nevertheless, this is a good beginning and it will be interesting to see if this functionality will be made available on the mobile apps as well.

Today Time Warner Cable and Microsoft have unveiled an app that turns any Xbox 360 game console into a streaming Time Warner Cable box. The result of a deal struck a few months back, the app appears to use an evolved form of the framework that other video services like Netflix and Hulu are using. Time Warner Cable is the first company to bring virtually its full lineup to bear in a streaming console capacity. Over 300 channels are now available, with VOD capability, and possibly more channels added before the end of the year.
Microsoft has been a leader in pushing entertainment, particularly video apps onto its Xbox Live service, being the first console to have Netflix, HBO Go, and many more services. With its new Xbox One console this fall, the console will up the entertainment game, bringing full voice and gesture control to your TV, using Kinect 2.0, which doubles as an IR blaster, and is widely suspected to have similar applications to this one coming in short order to eliminate the cable box altogether in the near future. Check out the video below for the walk through of the experience, which seems to categorize shows a lot better than the existing interface on the cable box does. Of course the additional, unspoken bonus is that this can save you at least a few bucks every month, eliminating cable boxes in the kid's rooms, for instance — although those savings are offset by the fact that you have to pay $60/year for the necessary Xbox Live Gold subscription. On the other hand, every Xbox 360 also functions as a Windows Media Center extender, so if you're looking to set up a home entertainment network, it's a quick and easy way to get it moving.
Access to the app requires an Xbox 360 console, an Xbox Live Gold Subscription, and a Time Warner Cable subscription. Voice and gesture control require an Xbox 360 Kinect.

Weld County Sheriff John Cooke says he drafted a sheriffs' association position paper opposing state gun legislation to let constituents and legislators know where the group stands.
The County Sheriffs of Colorado released the paper, which states that the association will not support "suggested state legislation that may limit Second Amendment rights."
"We wanted to get out in front of the issues," Cooke said. "As opposed to being reactive, we wanted to be proactive."
The paper specifically states the sheriffs oppose any legislation that would ban assault weapons, outlaw individual gun sales and limit high-capacity magazines. The association points to better mental health legislation as a more viable way to prevent mass shootings.
The paper warns against an emotional reaction to recent tragedies such as mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., and an Aurora theater. The association recommends that all proposed gun legislation be tabled for a year.
"Let's take time to settle because this is an emotional issue on both sides," Cooke said. "Let's let the emotion settle down so we can have a reasonable, common-sense dialogue."
The association states that the definition for assault weapons is too broad, and any restrictions on individual gun sales would punish law-abiding citizens. The paper says the sheriffs oppose any limits on the number of rounds in magazines, stating that federal restrictions on such clips are stringent enough.
"Law enforcement officers carry high-capacity rounds because there are times when 10 rounds might not be enough to end the threat," the paper states. "County Sheriffs of Colorado believe the same should hold true for civilians who wish to defend themselves, especially if attacked by multiple assailants."
Cooke said the group decided to draft the paper after several hours of discussion at its January meeting, where they voted to oppose proposed gun control legislation. He said their main goal was to show constituents they are dedicated to upholding Second Amendment rights.
"We wanted to address what we think is going to be coming down at the statehouse," Cooke said.

Hmm ... not enough memory to get into an exchange of e-mails,
but I had (actually, still have) a 2/120, and the one which I had booted
from a MFM drive connected to a SCSI adaptor -- or to a QIC drive in an
8" format mount. I also have another 2/120 which I have never run which
booted from SMD interfaced 8" 168MB drives by Fujitsu, but since I never
booted it, I don't know how that one was done. The drives were in a
similar sized "sidecar".
I may be remembering a boot command from the Sun-3 series
instead, but I remember a "boot sd(0,0,0)" to boot from the first
partition of the first disk on the SCSI controller. I think that the
QIC drive had a similar SCSI adaptor, and it would be booted from
"st(0,6,0)" or something similar.
Availability of the documentation of the bus wiring for the
Multibus was scarce except from the files somewhere in /usr/include. I
had a lot more documentation on the Cosmos CMS-16/UNX (v7 unix on an
8MHz 68000 in Multibus). I used that system before the 2/120, and I had
to do a lot of digging to make that one work. The Sun 2/120 just
worked, so I learned less about it.
But there was a command to install a bootblock onto the disk, I
think the second sector of the first cylinder and track. That pointed
to another program deep in the /usr tree which was loaded when the
bootblock was loaded and executed -- I *think*.

Gloria Vanderbilt was born with a good résumé. Her relatives came from society, her money from a trust. Nevertheless, in the course of 61 years she has strayed from the deb-socialite path. While her surname is a synonym for wealth, her full name is a designer label, and therein lies her special identity. Gloria V. is the ultimate patrician working girl.
She speaks in a voice that creeps up your neck and crawls in your ear. Her words come out in Katharine Hepburn cadences, accented with the clear suggestion of a Brahmin. Hers is a careful, tentative approach to speech, perhaps because she stuttered as a kid, stammered as an adult, and now has only the slightest hesitation every several sentences.
Her face, famous for five decades, is distinguished by alabaster skin, big brown eyes—"Vanderbilt eyes," she calls them—and a schoolgirl hairstyle that makes her look like Noel Coward's description of Gloria Swanson: "A very old 12." Most recognizable, of course, is her trademark smile—broad, taut, and oddly rectangular.
Having first captured America's attention by being rich and troubled, Gloria V. went on to put her hand—and her name—to paper products, perfume, sheets, shoes, blouses, leather goods, liqueurs, jeans, accessories and, recently, a tofu-based frozen dessert. Now her name appears on a book she has written about her first 17 years. The wonder is not that she does so much, but that she does anything at all, for the damage she has endured has been monumental. A longtime friend sums it up: "Gloria had an intensely dramatic childhood. Her father died when she was a baby—and he was a great drunk. Her mother was blindingly beautiful—and maybe had a love affair with another woman. It was worse than Annie."
Her father, Reginald Vanderbilt, was a railroad heir, playboy and gambler. Her young mother was one of the beauties of her time—and her time was the Roaring '20s. Gloria Sr. loved the beaches: Biarritz, Cap Ferrat and Palm. "Little Gloria" wound up as the subject, or perhaps the object, of a custody trial. The proceedings were available, on a daily basis, to all Americans who could read. "Aunt Ger"—Reginald's sister, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney—won, and Gloria Sr. lost, surrendering not only custody of Little Gloria, but also three-quarters of the support that she had been used to.
Cut to Little Gloria's first marriage, at 17, to a Hollywood actors' agent named Pat di Cicco. He was 32 and identified in a story of the day as coming from "a long line of comfortably fixed Italian truck farmers, perhaps most noted for the broccoli they grew in Queens." The marriage took place in a Santa Barbara church with Errol Flynn serving as an usher. Although the union created an estrangement between Gloria and Aunt Ger, the new bride told reporters how excited she felt: "What can one say about a first marriage, except that it's wonderful?" The prophetically labeled "first marriage" lasted three years and three months. Right before divorcing di Cicco, Gloria inherited $4,748,020; right after, she married conductor Leopold Stokowski. She was 21, he was 63. To leaven the formality, the press referred to him as "Stokie." He referred to himself as "the maestro."
Known as a ladies' man, he had been married twice before and had dallied with Garbo. For the first few years the Stokowskis did little socializing. They lived in a small flat. The decor included a nude portrait of Gloria, painted by Stokie. They had two sons, Stanislaus, now 35, and Christopher, 34. Halfway into their 10-year marriage, Gloria suffered what the press diagnosed as a nervous breakdown. An analyst reportedly advised her to express herself, so she rented a studio and began to get serious about writing poetry and painting. Then she started acting lessons with director Sanford Meisner. Stokie may not have been keen on the new, expressive Gloria. Of her acting debut—which he missed—he said, "I am always hopeful for the development of new talent."
After divorcing Stokie, Gloria was involved in another custody suit, this one for her two boys. The trial took place in New York where, as a little girl, she had seen her own fate decided. Gloria won the fight, though not before providing the country with yet another spectacle. At one point during the battle, Stokie cabled from Warsaw that "Mme. Stokowska" had lied when she said he was 85 years old. He was, he said, only 72. (In fact, he was 77.)
Her next husband, Sidney Lumet, was her age and, at the time, a television director. They were married for seven years. When Gloria called it a day, Lumet took an overdose of pills and phoned Gail Jones—Lena Home's daughter—to tell her what he had done. (She called the police; later he married her.) Gloria moved on to her fourth husband, Wyatt Cooper, a writer from Mississippi. She had two sons with him, Carter, now 20, and Anderson, 18. Their 14-year marriage ended with his death in 1978.
A friend who has known Gloria V. for 30 years—"through all her incarnations"—describes her as "not on the same wavelength as ordinary people." A Gloria story: Burt Shevelove, Broadway playwright and director, came up to her apartment one hot summer day, and she rang for the butler. "Bring the ice-cream things," she said. Out came three kinds of ice cream, nuts, whipped cream, the whole deal. She was going to make him a banana split. Then a big spoonful of whipped cream fell into the black bearskin rug. She never looked down. "Let's move to the other room," she said. Then she rang for the butler. "Bring the ice-cream things," she said.
It is interesting that many friends of Gloria V. genuinely like her, feel protective toward her and do not wish to be quoted as having talked about her. One of them says, "There has always been a vulnerable, child like quality about her. She has had despair and aloneness, and maybe as a result she has terminal narcissism. A whole slice of her is a dreamy child." Everyone who knows her well remarks on her shyness. A friend from the '50s says, "Sometimes she can hardly speak, she is so shy. But when something interests her she may get on a run and bore you to death about a great piece of lace or something."
If everyone remarks on Gloria's shyness, there are two other things they always mention as well: her taste and her talent. Her artist's sensibility is acknowledged to be both cultured and avant-garde. This is not a girl who thinks the Elgin Marbles are aggies and glassies. The actress Geraldine Fitzgerald remembers, "When Gloria was married to Sidney, there were red rugs, red chairs, a pink passageway and a yellow door. She had also covered the powder-room wall—not the mirror, the whole wall!—with shells. And she did it herself, without knowing there was anything unusual about her talents." Fitzgerald thinks she knows why Gloria has not been given her due. "When you have good looks and money, people think you have nothing else."
Vanderbilt was launched as a commercial designer 14 years ago when Don Hall, from Hallmark, saw some of her drawings in a gallery show. He thought they would work well as a paper-goods line—and they did, for two years. "My work is decorative," Gloria says. "I know that's supposed to be a dirty word, but I love that kind of thing very much. And it was a different look then." Soon another manufacturer signed her for a collection of scarves adapted from her paintings. Now businessmen were coming to her, and she became one of the first designers to make appearances at stores. A friend points out that because of her shyness, it took grit to make those trips. Another chum believes Gloria was receptive to designing commercially "because she was broke and made no bones about it." Gloria Vanderbilt tapped out? "She had some money," says an acquaintance, "but not what people thought. She also had a lawyer who didn't do well by her with investments."
To some people, her various creative activities seemed like the aesthetic equivalent of impulse buying. "She has always wanted to realize her artistic self," says one. "That's why she has been an actress, painter, poet and designer. And she has always been a little bit successful." Or a lot. When she first hooked up with Murjani, the clothing manufacturer, it was to do a blouse collection. Then came the fabulous success with Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. "She became Alice in Wonderland," says a friend. "The last thing she ever thought would happen, happened: She made a living." To say the least. In court papers filed in 1980, after she was denied permission to purchase a co-op, Gloria disclosed that she had earned $10 million that year. "Gloria didn't earn a living on her name," says a booster. "She got out and did it." What she got out and did was follow through with an idea. "I had always worn the Fiorucci jean," she says, "and it cost $100. I wanted to do one cheaper but with a good fit." The time was right. "Everything is timing in life," she smiles, "whether it's business or private life."
You could make a case that Gloria's timing has been better when it comes to business. An old friend remarks, "There have been a lot of men in her life, therefore a lot of disappointments—otherwise there wouldn't have been so many of them, right? She's been on an endless cruise." Another echoes the thought: "She is obsessive about men. She is on a constant quest for romance in a way that you only read about in storybooks." Gloria herself admits that at a certain time in her life, she was "looking for the White Knight."
She makes her first marriage, however, sound like the solution to a housing problem. "Di Cicco happened," she says, "because I couldn't live with my mother, and I couldn't live with my aunt." Stokowski (she does not call him Stokie) was, initially, a grand passion. "I loved him very much," she says. An interesting footnote to the Stokowski marriage: From the time she was a young girl, Gloria's best friends were Eugene O'Neill's daughter, Oona, and New York socialite Carol Marcus. Each of the three married an older genius: Oona married Charlie Chaplin and Carol married William Saroyan—twice—before settling down with Walter Matthau.
Post-Stokowski, when Gloria tried acting, she tried Frank Sinatra. But both were short-lived diversions. Wyatt Cooper is the man she and her friends speak of most. "He was the most incredible father," Gloria says. "We would still be married today had we not been separated by death." A friend remembers Cooper as "the antithesis of Sidney Lumet. Wyatt was truly elegant." Another says, "Cooper was like a wife. She was painting then, and he would take the things to the framer. He was a source of stability and very happy with a home life."
Today Gloria says she believes in marriage, but would prefer living with someone. She has two special friends—"totally different," she says. Some of her chums feel she might marry one of them, Darren Ramirez, 38, who runs the Versace boutique in Beverly Hills. He was the boyfriend of the late actress Rachel Roberts. A pal of Gloria's calls him "a terrific guy."
Just in case Mr. Right No. 5 does not materialize, Gloria V. has plenty to keep her busy. She has launched a tofu-based frozen dessert that she predicts is "going to do better than the jeans!" Once again, she did not just hand over her name and her swan logo. "I sort of mixed around in my kitchen with tofu, which I eat a lot anyway, and seasonings. Then I passed it on to experts." The result has been licensed by Frusen Glädjé.
In a perfect world, at least from Gloria V.'s point of view, you could dress up in Gloria Vanderbilt clothes, lie down on Gloria Vanderbilt sheets, be surrounded with Gloria Vanderbilt accessories, have a dish of Gloria Vanderbilt Glacé and curl up with Once Upon a Time (Knopf, $16.95), her new book.
The first time she wrote anything for publication was 1955, when she was 31. It was a book of poetry called Love Poems. A reviewer for the New York Times wrote: "Let it be said that Gloria Vanderbilt's poems are surprisingly good and that they are not love poems." When the publishing world learned there was to be something new', a Vanderbilt autobiography, a collective gasp was almost audible: Her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, announced that the chronicle would be released in five volumes. Bob Gottlieb, Knopf's editor-in-chief, does not find the number excessive. Who else has had so many? Gottlieb pauses. "Well...Osbert Sitwell comes to mind." Gottlieb can think of Sitwell; most people can think of no one. "Once Upon a Time is a brief book," he points out. "One volume could have been 800 pages. And it's not like a standard autobiography. Although she didn't fictionalize, it is like a novel."
Gottlieb has a point, simply because her life is like a novel. Once Upon a Time is a real-people fairy tale, both because it has wicked characters and scary stuff, and because it chronicles a childhood few people can imagine. Although her mother has been dead for 20 years, Gloria V. is still haunted by the woman's indifference and her aura of unreality. She mentions having been "terrified, frightened" of her mother, and adds with resignation, "It's hard to make her look good, but I understand. She was gentle and passive...she just never understood."
Having been analyzed, and now in her seventh decade, did Gloria write the book to resolve what she calls "the phases of pain"? No, she says, "I did it because I'm a natural-born writer. I consider it a piece of work, not therapy. I always knew I would do the book, and it fell onto the page." There's a good chance some critics are going to agree with this assessment, because a few conventions of published prose have been totally ignored. Punctuation, for instance. There are no quotation marks in the book, which is not to say there is no dialogue. Commas are also at a premium—a regrettable omission, since Gloria V. is fond of repetition and, without commas, reading a book is difficult difficult difficult.
The author says of all this, "It's the way I write, it's the way it comes out." Her friend Rex Reed observes, "Gloria's writing is like the inside of a Fabergé egg." Rococo though the text may be, it is an honest and moving recollection of a highly unusual girlhood.
If in some auditory version of a Rorschach test one were to say, "Poor little rich girl," odds are the answer would be "Gloria Vanderbilt." A more correct association would be "working woman, achiever." She is not a rich woman who thinks she can paint, or design, or write. She really can do all these things and is not surprised by her successes. "Believing it, trusting it," she says, "creates the kind of energy that makes it succeed. I did want to be successful and to make money. Money that I've made has reality to me. Money that I inherited does not."
Well, she's rolling in reality now, and the saga of Gloria V. is decidedly more upbeat than it was. Thanks to overriding ambition and innate creativity, the lady and her signature swan have come a long way. Her very name means class and it means money. In other words, Gloria Vanderbilt means business.

Thanks, Aerominded and Pat. I appreciate it. The fiberglassing continues. It's going to take me awhile to get that part done. As to spring, well the water here is still all very hard, so I've got some time before we get to having "soft" water again.
Yesterday I built the battery box and hatch. I spent about four hours bending up the bow rail and silver soldering the stanchions. It came out OK, but not perfect. I found the brazing rod included in the kit a little easier to work with than the music wire generally used for landing gear.
The best thing about Pat's plans is that they allow anyone from the experinced builder to the novice to scratch build.

Awesome work!! She's going to be a cutie, keep up the great work. So far on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the hardest to build how would you score the build so far? I ask because I am seriously thinking about building my first boat and with this threads detailed information sure will help.
OR any other ideas of another beginner boat?.... I do like a challenge
Thanks John
On a your scale of 1-10, I would say this is a 4-5 for difficulty. The hardest part of the build is getting the balsa sheeting to conform to the bow. And that isn't a problem if you soak the balsa and use clamps.
I think the issue of which model to pick is more a matter of what you want to have at the end. In my case, I was looking for something straight forward to build, made of wood (to try fiberglassing), and that looked "sporty" (if that term is applicable to boats). So the Sport Fisherman design appealed to me, along with it being a wood boat. I already had a GWS Speed 400 motor on hand, so that is what is going to power it. I have an older Hitec 75mHz surface transmitter I bought off of a flying buddy, so that's what I'm using for RC. I still need to get an ESC and a receiver. This one will use an HS-55 for the rudder, and I have a bunch of those sitting around. So, other than the fiberglassing stuff (which will probably do a dozen boat hulls), it is a pretty inexpensive build for me.
I'm sure the experts/frequent posters here could advise you on a first boat build, better than I, based on the kind of model you want to build, be it a tug/workboat, military ship, runabout, etc. and the size model you want to have. Having looked at a variety of boats and types, there is a lot of variation in size/weight, power requirements, etc. At 18", the Marina is kind of like a "parkflyer-sized" boat.
Larry, I've even thought of using a spare Pixie20P for an ESC, but I think I'll get a car/boat ESC instead, in order to have reverse.
For the experts, how many coats of resin should I put on the interior of the hull? I did one coat early this morning, but don't know if I should do a second one. I am making an assumption (out of ignorance) that weight is much less of an issue with boats than with planes, so that the weight of a second coat would not be much of an issue on performance. Is that assumption correct?

One thorough coat of resin is all you need on the interior... that helps seal the wood and goes the extra mile by really glueing the structure together!
Weight is less of an issue in boats than in the light, floaty planes that Pat and others have created (which we admire so much!) but it is still very important to consider- certainly don't want to build in more weight than is necessary- with an 18" boat, it probably won't take much to get her sitting on her lines in the water- better to have to add a little ballast if needed!
Re perfomance, saving weight will make a powerboat perform (speedwise) better, generally, given the same power source- another performance improvement can come from longer run times if weight saved in building the boat can be exchanged for larger batteries
Glad to hear things are progressing!
Thanks for the advice, Aero. I will leave it at one coat on the interior. I know that (at least where airplanes are concerned) I tend to build heavy anyway. But I assumed that weight would be less of an issue with boats.
Another genuine newbie question. The kit comes with a plastic propellor. It fits the shaft (3/32 music wire) rather loosely. The instructions say to epoxy it to the shaft.
In thinking about the motor and propeller, it occurs to me that the motor will turn counter-clockwise (left hand, I presume) viewed from behind the boat. Is that correct? Were the motor mounted in the nose of the airplane, viewed from the cockpit, it would be turning to the right (clockwise). So, here are the newbie questions of the evening: How do I know I have a left hand prop, and how do I tell which is the front of the prop, and which is the back (toward the rudder)?

Aero, I'm attaching a couple of pics of the prop. From looking around at various vendors, the prop looks like a Dumas #3001. It does have a 1" diameter. Dumas says they are left hand.
Deestingray, that is a great pic. Thank you! My searches had not turned up anything that informative.
I was also thinking of silver soldering a washer on the end of the prop shaft, so as not to totally rely on the epoxy/music wire joint to hold the propeller in place. That way, even if the epoxy joint broke, the prop wouldn't go spinning off into the depths. Thoughts?
My thanks again to all who contribute their expertise to my efforts!
JB Weld
Mark, suggest JB Weld to epoxy the prop on to the shaft. Stabilit Express might be better but it's so darn expensive. A washer soldered to the shaft is good insurance. Probably no need to silver solder, though. Just don't solder while the prop is on the shaft!(No offense intended).
