L.A.Noire Last Look Preview -- Red Lipstick and the Tribeca Film FestivalBy Adam Rosenberg - Posted Apr 28, 2011
Rockstar Games received the honor this week of having the first video game, L.A. Noire, of course, to be screened at New York's annual Tribeca Film Festival. The public presentation, which attracted a diverse audience of gamers and movie-lovers, consisted of a complete runthrough of one of the game's early cases, from the Homicide desk, "The Red Lipstick Murder."
This is the same case that G4's Kevin Kelly got to see at PAX East 2011 a few weeks ago, only this time it was played through to its finish. To bring you up to speed on what was shown: the corpse of a woman has been found in a park, mutilated in a manner that bears a strong resemblance to the famed "Black Dahlia" murder of Elizabeth Short, in 1947. Protagonist Cole Phelps and his partner, Rusty Galloway, follow a series of clues that lead them to the deceased's husband. The interrogation culminates in a fistfight and, eventually, the husband's arrest as a suspect.
For those who don't wish to know more about the story, spoilers lie ahead. Just scroll down; I'll let you know when it's safe to start reading again.
It quickly becomes clear during the husband's interrogation that he isn't the man you're looking for. However, a lucky break earlier in the case leaves you with a license plate number to call in and have checked out. Cole rings up dispatch after his little tussle and learns that the vehicle in question is registered under the name of someone who lives nearby.
He and Galloway head over to find an empty apartment… and a box containing blood-soaked clothes along with the murder weapon. That's when our perp gets home. Cole and Rusty announce themselves and the killer, realizing that he's cooked, takes flight through a nearby window and onto the neighboring roof. A chase ensues, first on foot with Cole leaping and climbing from rooftop to rooftop. Eventually the action spills onto the street; a brief car chase ensues during which you must get close enough for Rusty to be able to shoot out the suspect's tires. The car crashes and an arrest is made. Case closed.
That's it for the spoilers, folks.
We got to sit down for a chat with Brendan McNamara, the writer and director of L.A. Noire, after the screening. While he obviously wasn't willing to divulge how this particular case ties in with the larger game's plot, he did lay out some of the goals the team set out to achieve in translating the genre of film noir into an interactive experience.
"We wanted to do a noir story where the person who starts the game isn't the same person at the end. I think that's typical of what happens in film noir," he explained. "You sort of mine some degree of humanity into them that makes them take big risks."
"Video games tend to have characters that are slightly two-dimensional, who they are at the start is exactly who they are at the end, and they give you a few one-liners along the way. So if we get to the end of the game and people have the reaction to the character that I want them to have, that will be very gratifying."
MotionScan, the process used to capture each actor's performance down to minute changes in their facial expressions, will play a significant role in bringing Cole's evolution as a character across. Much of the L.A. Noire experience is built on creating an interactive platform for the exposition to unfold in, and having believable performances on the screen is a necessary component of that.
McNamara detailed a little bit of the process, revealing that the "scene" is initially shot as what he referred to as an "ensemble piece," with all of the associated actors present and playing things out together. MotionScan comes next, which captures a single face at a time and makes a 3D mesh of it, for a texture to eventually lie on top of.
"We do lots and lots of variations on what we want to do, and that allows the actor to bring new things to it at the end of the day as well. We watch it afterwards on an editing system we built for MotionScan, and that allows you to look at someone's performance [and see if they've given] whatever particular thing you were going for," McNamara said.
"Then you have to make decisions at that point. We sort of do that on the difficulty curve for the game too. [The Red Lipstick Murder] is an early case, but as we get a lot further on in the game we make it more and more subtle because we want to make it harder for people."
Equally important to the L.A. Noire experience is making sure that the sense of immersion remains relatively unbroken throughout. The game's secondary activities are part of that; Cole can pick up "unassigned cases" over the radio at any point, a feature which McNamara said had originally been much larger in its scope.
"At one point we had more than [the unassigned cases], we had procedural crimes as well," he said. "What we found with people playing the game was they couldn't remember what they needed to do in a case. There are so many things to remember, the people, the clues, the relationships."
"You could try to play to everybody and miss the middle. So… the ideal was to pare it back to being really focused on these cases, making it a kind of a police procedural TV series in a way, that's interactive, that you can play."
Also important to maintaining the sense of immersion is keeping the game-specific elements on screen to a minimum, things like the heads-up display, directional pointers and the like. This is an area that Rockstar releases are particularly good at skirting around, using in-world features in imaginative ways to give the player the information he or she needs.
"That's something we're pretty conscious about, not doing big, yellow arrows and all this kind of weird gaming conventions. If you believe that your audience is intelligent, and we do, then we think those things that are subtle are nicer. From my point of view, that's good game design," McNamara said.
The easiest example of this to point to is the game's "GPS." Grand Theft Auto is set in a modern city, so putting a navigation system into the cars you drive simply fits. Red Dead Redemption posed a challenge, and ended up using the Grand Theft Auto IV approach of painting your minimap with lines leading you to a destination. L.A. Noire is similarly set during a time before global positioning was possible, but it has an advantage over Red Dead thanks to Cole always being accompanied by a partner in crime-fighting.
"You can just talk to your partner, he'll tell you where to go," McNamara said of figuring out where you're driving to in the game. "If you press the talk button, he'll [direct you]. You could turn the mini-map off, I don't think there's an option to do that but you could. You're driving along and he goes 'Next left, next right.' It's fun, [and it fits] in between conversations."
No matter what else you may think of the game based on what's been shown, it's clear that Rockstar is stepping quite a bit outside of its comfort zone. The results that we've seen, at least in terms of MotionScan-powered character performances, have been nothing less than impressive. Rockstar's Rob Nelson, the art director on L.A. Noire, is already thinking about where the technology might go next.
"It gets bigger," he predicted, pointing to a time when the same technology will be applied to full body capture as well. "In this game we had to have hair and makeup artists to get the hairstyles right and get the makeup right, we couldn't really edit that. It was very much a film in that way. The future of MotionScan I think is to be able to do full body capture, where you can get wardrobe and props, you capture the full performance."
Nelson stopped short of sharing anything specific about early plans for a sequel – big surprise, right? – but he did drop a small hint, couched in an explanation that should sound familiar to any fan of Rockstar's catalog. "I definitely don't think with any of our games, any character is that game," he said. "We definitely have a lot of fun with mixing up our protagonists. There was a lot of content that we had to leave out of this to get it done. We still definitely found it challenging."
"Is there room for a sequel? Absolutely."
L.A. Noire arrives on the scene May 17 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

ARCHIVED - Employment Insurance - Important Notice about Maximum Insurable Earnings for 2011
The following information is out of date.
Archived content
Information identified as archived is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.
The maximum insurable earnings (MIE) is the income level up to which Employment Insurance (EI) premiums are paid. It determines the maximum rate of weekly benefits paid for all types of benefits under the EI program.
Effective January 1, 2011, the maximum insurable earnings will increase from $43,200 to $44,200. This means that an insured worker will pay EI premiums in 2011 on insured earnings up to $44,200.
In 2011, the employee EI premium rate will be $1.78 per $100. This premium rate and the MIE increase means that insured workers will pay a maximum annual EI premium in 2011 of $786.76 compared with $747.36 in 2010.
As a result of the increased MIE, beginning in January 2011, the maximum weekly EI benefit rate will increase from $457 to $468 per week. Claims established before December 26th, 2010, will not be affected by the 2011 MIE increase.
Insured workers will pay EI premiums on all earnings up to the annual maximum salary of $44,200. This means a deduction of $1.78 will be made for every $100 of salary until the $44,200 has been reached each year. For example, if an individual earns $52,000 a year, premiums are payable on the first $44,200.
The premium rate for workers in Quebec will be $1.41. This rate is lower than in the rest of Canada, because the Province of Quebec has been collecting premiums since January 2006 to administer its own maternity, parental, and paternity benefits under the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan.

On Thursday 25th February 2011, WinkBall citizen video reporters Val, George and Andrew were at the North West ABA Boxing Tournament at Hayes Working Mens Club. The Amateur Boxing Association of England Ltd (ABAE) is the only national governing body for boxing recognised by Sport England. It is responsible for the governance, development and administration of boxing in schools, clubs and competition. Most of the competitors have been boxing between two and five years and are at the tournament to further their career. These dedicated athletes follow a fitness strict regime that involves training twice a day, six days a week. Winning here means they qualify to compete in the London ABA tournaments, then the Nationals and hopefully getting a trail for team GB along the way for 2012. We asked the young boxers, officials and fans how passionate they are about boxing, why they love the sport and to name their boxing heroes.

Do you diligently read product labels and ask dozens of questions before buying a toothbrush? Do you need to know exactly how a new face cream will repair your skin while you sleep? You're probably an "explanation fiend:" a consumer who makes decisions based on comprehensive research. On the other hand, if endless descriptions of features and functionalities bog you down, you're probably an intuitive buyer, or an "explanation foe," a new study suggests.
A team led by Philip Fernbach, professor of marketing at the University of Colorado, and Steven Sloman , a cognitive psychologist at Brown, found that consumers fall into two distinctive groups: intuitive shoppers who prefer only basic information about a product before bagging it, and data-driven buyers who seek full details.
To identify their "shopping style," study participants were evaluated on something called the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT). They answered three tricky questions, each of which had an intuitive answer that was incorrect and a correct answer that required a bit more deliberation. Nearly half of the participants got all three questions wrong, and only ten percent thought the questions through enough to get all three right. Individuals with high CRT scores proved to be explanation fiends who analyze and question every bit of information, while those who picked the intuitive, but wrong, answers turned out to be explanation foes, who see too much data as a burden.
Both types of shopper want to understand how a product works before deciding its worth, but their methods of building that understanding are different. When "explanation fiends" learned more about a product, they trusted it more and were more willing to buy it. But "explanation foes" felt confident in their assessment of a product—even when they were light on information about it.
Both fiends and foes also had to generate their own explanations of how products work, thus revealing what they actually understood. Data-driven explanation fiends began with a conservative assessment of their understanding, which didn't change once they explained their perception of the product. On the contrary, the intuitive explanation foes demonstrated something called "the illusion of explanatory depth:" They started with a strong sense of understanding that plummeted as they tried to explain what they actually understood.
Being an explanation fiend or foe is an indication of personality, not intelligence, Fernbach notes. However, marketers might be able to predict how certain types of consumers will respond to varying levels of detail. "In the general population there will be more explanation foes than among technical population," for example, Fernbach explains. "Engineers will be more interested in how things work than an average consumer." Such knowledge, he says, can help marketers tailor the explanation level for the community of consumers they are targeting, satiating the thinkers and shielding intuitive minds from information overload.

Time has been a perennial issue for philosophy.

The wagon wheel illusion (as it appears in continuous lighting, away from the silver screen) seemed at first to support the idea that perception is a stream of cinematic snapshots.

Valtteri Arstila and Dan Lloyd
Download PDF
pp. 309-322
It is natural to think of passing time as a kind of motion. But in this metaphor, what moves and what does not? With respect to the river of time, do you stand on the bank and watch time flow by? Or are you floating in the river, flowing along with time as it passes by the landscape? In the chapters preceding, we saw a distinction in metaphorical framework that...
VII. Off the Clock
Download PDF
pp. 323-328
If we had an organ for sensing time, how would it work? The phenomenology and psychology of time lead naturally to this question, the theme of the second half of Subjective Time. In physical (and metaphysical) terms, Time may be simple, a dimension among others. But the previous chapters confirm that subjective time is far from simple. Our lived experience...
16. The Neural Mechanisms of Timing on Short Timescales
Dean V. Buonomano
Download PDF
pp. 329-342
In modern society, our lives are dependent on the technological innovations that have allowed us to keep track of time — from the nanosecond accuracy of the atomic clocks used for global-positioning systems to the clocking of our yearly trip around the sun. In between these extremes we track the minutes and hours that govern our activities. We rely daily on...
17. Illusory Distortion of Subjective Time Perception
Ryota Kanai

pp. 343-354
Our conscious experience is remarkably diverse, including as it does experiences ranging from seeing the marvelous red and orange colors of a sunset to the unpleasant feeling of pain that makes you moan. The experience of the passage of time constitutes an essential dimension common across diverse forms of conscious experience, since subjective experience...
18. Cognitive versus Associative Decision Rules in Timing
J. Jozefowiez, A. Machado, and J. E. R. Staddon
Download PDF
pp. 355-376
Though assisted by constructed clocks and calendars, our sense of time is actually deeply rooted in biological mechanisms we share with all other animal species (Lejeune & Wearden, 1991). Our understanding of these mechanisms has been much advanced by operant-conditioning experiments with humans and (infrahuman) animals. In these experiments, an...
VIII. What and When
Perception is embodied, as many of the previous chapters emphasize. What we sense is interwoven with how we sense it, a function of moving organs and limbs in a dynamical dance with shifting environments. The authors of the previous section considered action governed by prospective timing, where an animal needs to wait before it acts. In this section...
19. What Determines Simultaneity and Order Perception?
Piotr Ja ś kowski
Download PDF
pp. 379-408
All physical objects in the universe are embedded in three-dimensional space, and all physical events are immersed in time. Therefore, to properly act, human beings evolved abilities to orient in space and to put events in temporal order. It seems quite easy to say that an event occurred earlier than another one. However, this task becomes more difficult when the events...

pp. 409-430
Almost all everyday acts are governed by time. Acts such as walking and speaking are often taken for granted and are considered easy to execute and understand. These acts, however, are not nearly as easy as they appear to be. They are in fact highly complex acts that unfold over time and require attending and perceiving the temporal order of the individual units...
21. On the Flexibility of Human Temporal Resolution
Agnieszka Wykowska and Valtteri Arstila
Download PDF
pp. 431-452
Our ability to efficiently interact with the environment is to a large extent dependent on how exact we are in perceiving the world's temporal properties. Imagine a situation in which one is to cross a busy street. Such an environment requires a temporal resolution down to the milliseconds range to be able to estimate the speed of an approaching car and its distance...
IX. Action and Passion
"Here" and "now" are fantastically elastic concepts. Here I am, in our local arm of the Milky Way. But I ' m just as much here in front of the computer. My Now can be broadly construed as the current geological epoch (as opposed to Then, the Age of Dinosaurs), or zoomed to the instantaneous Now of approximately 10:13:24 a.m. "I" sit comfortably in heres of all...
22. Temporal Perception in the Context of Action
Kielan Yarrow and Sukhvinder S. Obhi
Download PDF
pp. 455-476
We do not usually experience the world as passive recipients of sensory information. Instead, we explore our environment through action. For senses like sight and touch, a framework exists to explain how we can interpret and predict the consequences of our own actions. In order to accurately distinguish sensory events arising in the environment from the sensations...
23. What Emotions Tell Us about Time
Sylvie Droit-Volet
Download PDF
pp. 477-506
When we compare the episodes of our everyday lives experienced in different emotional states, we have the strange impression that time is either sped up or slowed down. While time seems like an eternity when waiting for someone we love, it suddenly seems to fly when the loved one arrives. Time no longer exists! Initially, the study of our feeling of time...

pp. 507-524
Daily rhythms of many biological and psychological functions are controlled by an endogenous biological clock with a period of approximately 24 h (Roenneberg, Daan, & Merrow, 2003). Circadian clocks, which are entrained by light, regulate physiology and behavior over the course of the day and enable an organism to anticipate and prepare for regular environmental...
X. Altered Times
Download PDF
pp. 525-528
As the preceding chapters have made evident, in many settings humans are inept timers. One might suppose that our collective defects are momentary, acute episodes, hiccups in the flow of subjective time. Perhaps our misapprehensions are each fairly quickly corrected by some combination of internal and external cues. In contrast, the chapters in this section...
25. Variability of Duration Perception: From Natural and Induced Alterations to Psychiatric Disorders
Valdas Noreika, Christine M. Falter, and Till M. Wagner
Download PDF
pp. 529-556
In an early paper on the experience of time in mental disorders, Lewis (1932 , 617 – 618) provided a number of subjective reports of unusual temporal distortions collected from psychiatric patients, such as that by an individual suffering from "involutional melancholia" 1: I can't estimate time. I can't say what time it is because it's an artificial day; what you call a day with...
26. Time Processing in Developmental Disorders: A Comparative View
Christine M. Falter and Valdas Noreika
Download PDF
pp. 557-598
Developmental disorders typically manifest themselves during infancy or childhood. In contrast to disorders acquired in adulthood, disorders with an onset early in development can lead to further cascading effects on brain functions that are not primarily affected by influencing the pace and direction of developmental trajectories. Dysfunctions associated...
27. The Potential Link between Temporal Averaging and Drug-Taking Behavior
Allison N. Kurti, Dale N. Swanton, and Matthew S. Matell
Download PDF
pp. 599-620
The capacity to perceive time in the seconds to minutes range, or interval timing, allows organisms to develop temporal expectations about when significant events should occur, therein promoting the efficient organization of behavior. However, disruptions in temporal perception, such as those that have been seen following drug use, for example amphetamine...
28. The Perception of Time in Hypnosis
Peter Naish
Download PDF
pp. 621-636
It would be understandable for a reader to wonder why, out of all the situations that might reasonably have an influence upon time perception, something as esoteric as hypnosis has been chosen as a topic. As might be guessed, it is because hypnosis has a rather special impact upon temporal judgment, and trying to discover why has the potential to add to...
29. Time in the Psychopathological Mind
Melissa J. Allman, Bin Yin, and Warren H. Meck
Download PDF
pp. 637-654
What does "time" mean to you? Think about the Grand Canyon for a moment: try to imagine millions of years of erosion by the Colorado River, revealing billions of years of the Earth's geological history. It's hard to imagine all of that time . Time itself can bestow historical beauty and appeal, and like other aspects of psychophysics and perception, controls...

30. The Disunity of Time
Dan Lloyd and Valtteri Arstila

pp. 657-664
In our mundane terrestrial pursuits, local clocks unite to give the one and only current time, fixing orders and intervals. Since physics follows the clock, we are obliged to be aware of time and timing in order to act effectively and perceive accurately in the real world. Our sensitivities to orders and intervals fall under the general concept of subjective time. In its...

The applet referenced via this page is copyrighted and comes with no warranty. It is intended for demonstration purposes only. There is no warranty express or implied for this applet. Use of the applet is granted for personal use only. Designs produced by the applet may not be sold commercially without permission from the authors.
The speaker design program which you can access via this page uses
parameters for a speaker, and allows you to calculate various designs. The two primary style of speaker designs handled by the program are
cabinets and
The designs produced may be used to construct high efficiency horn-loaded cabinets for PA and sound-reinforcement use. Horn flares may be conical or exponential. Exponential flares have the best efficiency/distortion tradeoff of all flares. However, conical flares are easy to build. A conical flare is commonly seen as the mid-range cabinet in large PA systems (a Roy box perhaps?). Other flare types (hyperbolic, parabolic) are not implemented.
Hi-fi cabinets would most likely be designed using vented cabinets. As a social consideration, we do not include any design ability for band-pass designs used for cars that go thump-thump-thump. Similarly, closed cabinets are almost always outperformed by vented cabinets, so they have been omitted as well.
All units used by the program are metric.
To use the program, first enter the speaker parameters using the '
Choose Speaker
' option. Next, choose either '
Vented Design
' or '
Horn Design
' to select features for your design.
If you are doing a horn-loaded design, you then go to the '
Horn Response
' section to plot speaker capabilities, horn impedances, and system response.
Note, that for horn designs, the compliance volume (the air volume between the diaphragm and the throat of the horn) affects the high frequency response of the horn. Hence, a real design will show high-end rolloff unless a 'phase-plug' is used. If you specify a compliance volume, you will see high frequency roll-off when plotting the frequency response of horn designs. The compliance volume is specified in cubic metres, so, for example, with a typical 15" driver, the volume displaced by the driver is approximately 4 litres, and the compliance volume is roughly 3 litres, or 0.003 cubic metres.
When doing a horn design, the '
Speaker Limits
' graph shows what the defined loudspeaker is capable of when different diaphragm to throat ratios (
) are used.
is the frequency of simultaneous thermal and displacement limit
is the maximum attainable efficiency
is the upper half-power frequency (3db point at the high-end)
is the 50Hz displacement limited acoustic power rating
is the 50Hz displacement limited electrical power rating
is the thermally limited maximum acoustic power rating
is the thermally limited maximum electrical power rating
When doing a vented design, the following definitions are used:
is the volume of the box in litres
is the resonant frequency of the box
is the low frequency 3 dB point for the response of the speaker in the box
is the diameter of the vent (port) in millimetres
is the length of the vent in millimetres
is the peak acoustic power that may be produced at the speaker displacement limit (
is the electrical power to produce PAR (note, this can be greater or smaller than the speakers thermal capability
is the system impedance which affects damping (the closer to 0 the better)

What should you ask your doctor about penile cancer?
What happens after treatment for penile cancer?
For many men with penile cancer, treatment can remove or destroy the cancer. Completing treatment can be both stressful and exciting. You may be relieved to finish treatment, but find it hard not to worry about the cancer coming back. (When cancer comes back after treatment, it is called a recurrence.) This is a very common concern in people who have had cancer.
It may take a while before your fears lessen. But it may help to know that many cancer survivors have learned to accept this uncertainty and are living full lives. Living With Uncertainty: The Fear of Cancer Recurrence talks more about this.
For other men, the cancer may never go away completely. These men may get regular treatments with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other therapies to try to help keep the cancer under control and help relieve symptoms from it. Learning to live with cancer that does not go away can be difficult and very stressful. It has its own type of uncertainty. Read When Cancer Doesn't Go Away for more about this.
Follow-up care
If you have completed treatment, your doctors will still want to watch you closely. It's very important to go to all of your follow-up appointments. During these visits, your doctors will ask about any problems are having and may do exams and lab tests or imaging tests (such as CT scans) to look for signs of cancer or treatment side effects. Almost any cancer treatment can have side effects. Some may last for a few weeks to months, but others can last the rest of your life. This is the time for you to talk to your cancer care team about any changes or problems you notice and any questions or concerns you have.
After your treatment is finished, you will probably need to still see your cancer doctor for many years. Doctor visits and exams will be more frequent at first (typically every few months), but the time between visits can often get longer over time. Ask what kind of follow-up schedule you can expect.
It's also very important to keep your health insurance. Tests and doctor visits cost a lot, and even though no one wants to think of their cancer coming back, this could happen.
Should your cancer come back, further treatment will depend on where the cancer is, what treatments you've had before, and your health. For more on dealing with a recurrence, see When Your Cancer Comes Back: Cancer Recurrence..

When it comes down to it, I'll take a life time of small beautiful things. There is no one defining moment in our lives. We cobble together the definition in the things we carry with us: a fading summer sky, a famous piece of stone, raw emotion, the sound of laughter, monk like musings at altitude, the feeling of the ocean on bare feet, an unexpected reminder, the relationships we build and cherish, simply being. Yep, that's what I'll carry.

Nancy Addison: Grandma Has Accepted the Change
Afternoon TV Magazine, July 1971
by Sidney London
Every afternoon, grandma rushes to the TV set, flips on the switch and watches her granddaughter Nancy Addison (nee, Altman) perform as Kit Vested on The Guiding Light. Now there's nothing really special about that - except for a large slice of irony. Because some 30 years ago, grandma had a positive fit when her daughter Nancy's mama, lit out for Hollywood and stardom.
"My mother must have been very beautiful," said Nancy, "because everytime I see my uncles, they give me a poke in the ribs and say, 'oh boy. You should have seen your mother as a girl.' Well anyway, my mother ran off to Hollywood when she was 18 and she was all set to sign a movie contract when my grandmother intervened. She sent my grandfather across country on a bus to bring her back. He did, and that was the end of my mother's movie career."
"But things are different now, and I think grandmother has kind of accepted change. To tell the truth, I think she's rather excited that I'm an actress."
Grandma's acceptance, however, was not immediate. Nor, for that matter did Nancy's parents thrill over the idea of an actress daughter. Raised in a comfortable middle-class home in New Jersey, with her brother Richard, destined to become the Assistant Attorney General in Trenton, Nancy soon discovered that her family didn't rate acting very high among the professions.
"When I graduated from high school," she said, "I knew I wanted to become an actor. I told my folks about it and they said, "sit down, we'll discuss it." So we did, and shortly thereafter I was enrolled at a small college in Boston.
"But I couldn't stand it. It seemed that the only thing the girls were interested in was getting married. So I called my parents and pleaded with them to get me out of there. And they said, "come home, we'll discuss it.'"
This time, however the discussions broke in Nancy's favor. Soon after the family negotiation, Nancy was a student at the Stella Adler acting school in New York.
"At first, said Nancy, "My parents thought I considered acting a lark, as something I had to get out of my system. But then they began to realize I was getting serious about it."
So serious, in fact, that after leaving the acting school she toured with The Impossible Years and performed in dinner theatre presentations of Barefoot In The Park and Generation. Nancy further solidified her feelings about acting by marrying actor Don "Bo" Addison.
Although she had long yearned to be an actress, it wasn't until after her graduation from high school that she was able to openly express how she felt about acting. The reason - shyness.
"It's very difficult for me to express Nancy!" she said, "I don't want that many people to know about me. I have a hold on myself and that's nice, because it's safe. On the other hand, because of the way the world is today, I think it might be better if I were more open."
"When I was a kid, I was dying to act in high school plays but I never could because I was afraid to audition. I was just too shy. So I'd sit in the audience and think, 'Oh I know I can do it. I know I can act.' But the fear of getting on stage was overwhelming."
"I remember I used to come home from school, run upstairs and lock myself in my room, Then I'd act out all the parts in front of my bedroom mirror. Sometimes I'd take my brother's recorder and tape my voice."
"And because I couldn't express my feelings, I'd daydream. I would have gotten an A in daydreaming. I'd picture myself in a hundred different places, see myself as all kinds of people. My desire for acting was a like a balloon that kept filling and filling. Then finally, the balloon burst."
Although that was a monumental event in Nancy's life, it was nothing compared to her emotional explosion when she learned last September that she had won the role of Kit on The Guiding Light.
"My agent called me with the news," said Nancy, "and I'm sure she thought I had gone bananas. Bo ran out of the kitchen, and when I told him I had the part, we began to jump and and down in a circle; I couldn't believe it. I was floating on a cloud for a week."
But Nancy came down to earth again - as soon as the first rehearsal.
"I was terribly nervous," she said "and I was doing everything I could to avoid the camera. I'd turn away from it, and if I wasn't fast enough, I'd let my hair fall over my face. But the director was very patient and understanding. Now I'm completely relaxed."
In sweater and blue jeans, Nancy looked exactly that in her walkup apartment on New York's west side. Bo had popped in and out, while her dogs Henry (a combination of Pekinese and poodle) and Malcolm (a more exotic mixture of Tibetan shitzu and poodle) established themselves as a constant, scurrying presence. The room was tastefully appointed, mostly with antiques.
"I was raised on this stuff" she said, pointing to a huge antique breakfront and an old chest. "But I have a feeling that my folks thought we'd go all curves and glass. When Bo and I were in Chattanooga, we picked up a wonderful oak table and chairs. It cost us next to nothing, but we spent a fortune bringing the furniture back to New York."
For Nancy, The Guiding Light may well be just the first step in a long and successful acting career. One thing is certain at least - and unlike her mother's experience of 30 years ago, Nancy's career will not be suddenly short-circuited.
"I have no fear that my father will take the bus from West Orange to pluck me off the TV set," laughed Nancy. "When I recently called him at the office, his secretary told me that he couldn't be disturbed. 'He's got three very important people here to see him,' she said, 'and somehow, I've got to stall them for a half hour. I've told them he's in conference. But what he's really doing is watching you on television.'"

Montgomery BRT supporters unveil coalition at hearing
Last night, a coalition of 32 civic, business, activist, and environmental organizations announced their support for Montgomery County's proposed Bus Rapid Transit network at the first of two public hearings on the issue at the County Council in Rockville.
After 5 years of study, this fall the Council will consider a plan to build an 82-mile rapid transit network on several major roads, including Rockville Pike, Georgia Avenue, Veirs Mill Road, and Columbia Pike. Planners say that BRT will allow us to move more people on existing roads as the county grows from 1 million residents today to 1.2 million in 2040.
David Moon of advocacy group Communities for Transit and the Coalition for Smarter Growth unveiled their list of "strange bedfellows" who support the plan, ranging from the Sierra Club to ULI Washington and CASA de Maryland. Before the hearing, they held a press conference to call for a BRT network that has dedicated lanes, frequent and reliable service, bike and pedestrian improvements along transit corridors, and "Metro-like features," which include widely spaced stops, stations with safe, comfortable waiting areas, and fare collection at the station.
The Montgomery County Young Democrats have also lent their support. "We hosted a forum this summer about what young people need in order to settle down in Montgomery County," said Katie Mullen, a Young Dems member who lives in Burtonsville. "Of the almost 100 people in attendance, the #1 priority wasn't more night life, affordable housing, or new industry. The #1 priority was to greatly expand public transit across the county, in particular a comprehensive Bus Rapid Transit network with dedicated lanes."
Opponents of the BRT plan who spoke at the meeting came primarily from two neighborhoods: Chevy Chase West, which is adjacent to a proposed route along Wisconsin Avenue, and the Four Corners area of Silver Spring, near proposed routes along Route 29 and University Boulevard. They cited concerns about the cost of building BRT, the inconvenience to drivers if the county repurposes existing lanes for buses, and claimed that the public hadn't gotten enough opportunities to give feedback.
Councilmember Marc Elrich, who first proposed a BRT network, contested claims that the county was preparing to condemn 3,000 properties for a system that hasn't been fully designed, or that it was a "sellout" to real estate developers.
"I'm probably the last person on earth, or at least in this room, that would do something on behalf of developers," he said. "It happens that [development] serves the rest of county residents in the ability to grow our tax base and deal with county traffic. There is no way to not see the development that is coming in the plans."
I live-tweeted the hearing along with Kelly Blynn from the Coalition for Smarter Growth and Ted Van Houten from the Action Committee for Transit. Here's a Storify of the night's highlights:
And I have heard these arguments from neighbors, too. Some people are convinced that taking any lanes from cars will be devastating. They don't seem too concerned about the current quality of transit or the fact that there isn't really another way out of this traffic.
"It happens that [development] serves the rest of county residents in the ability to grow our tax base and deal with county traffic. There is no way to not see the development that is coming in the plans."
If development serves the rest of the county residents, why wouldn't Mr. Elrich do something on behalf of developers? This knee jerk anti-development additude from many of our well intentioned representatives is strange. Certainly curtail them when they propose to harm our communities, but endourage them when they do right. Who does he think developed the communities we call home in the first place?
It's the same way out in PWC as well. I bet if you took a poll of the people who scream the loudest against "development", you'd probably find the majority of them have been residents for less than 10 years. Who do they think built their exurban McMansions that they blog from complaining about developers "creating" more traffic?
Certainly there needs to be oversight and ensuring the right decisions are made, but for some reason these people seem to not realize that when they were moving into the neighborhood 5 or 10 years ago there were people already there complaining about THEM. What makes matters worse is when these people misguidedly fight against commercial development or transit because it will attract "those people". It drips of elitism and doesn't help in solving the major issue of residential vs commercial tax burden which exists in nearly every bedroom community.
Part of why that meme became conventional wisdom back then was because most development was paving over greenfield to put up car-dependent sprawl. As Leinberger notes in his book, "Option of Urbanism," more development erodes the quality of life in of car-dependent places while it enhances the quality of life in walkable urban places.
Also, becasue by and large, what they tore down in cities was so much better than what they replaced it with. This is the importance of design and reforming archtiecture schools to look at people oriented design rather than object oriented design.
I can't day I blame people for this negative view, just look at how much we've crapped up our environment (Geography of Nowhere). It's going to take a long time for the development community to regain the public's trust, and that means everybody from engineers, to architects, to developers and politicians. On think smart growthers could do is not be defensive about wanting development though. This would at least provide the opportunity to talk about how things could improve rather than seem to be holding a dark secret.

Regents uphold firing of U. of Iowa professor
The Iowa Board of Regents has voted to uphold the firing of a University of Iowa radiology professor who engaged in harassing behavior toward colleagues.
A spokeswoman said Thursday the board voted unanimously Wednesday afternoon for the termination of Malik Juweid after considering his appeal in closed session.
Juweid's attorney, Rockne Cole, said earlier this week he expected the board to uphold the firing, and that he would file a petition in Polk County asking a judge to find flaws in the termination process. He contends University President Sally Mason had a conflict in ordering Juweid's firing while he was suing her and other university officials.
Juweid has remained in the news because he's pressing criminal charges in his native Jordan against two university officials involved in his firing.

Chicken Tamales RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 20 dried corn husks
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
- 3 quarts water
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 cup shortening
- 3 cups masa harina
- 6 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cans (2-1/4 ounces each) sliced ripe olives, drained
- Place corn husks in a large bowl; cover with cold water and soak at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, in a 6-qt. stockpot, combine chicken, water, onion, salt and garlic; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 45-60 minutes. Remove chicken from broth; let stand until cool enough to handle. Strain broth; skim fat. Remove chicken from bones and shred.
- For dough, in a large bowl, beat shortening until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. In small amounts, add masa harina alternately with 2 cups reserved broth, beating well.
- Drop a small amount of dough into a cup of cold water; dough should float to the top. If dough does not float, continue beating until it is light enough to float.
- In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; stir in flour until blended. Cook and stir until lightly browned, 7-9 minutes. Stir in seasonings, chicken and 4 cups reserved broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain corn husks and pat dry. Place a corn husk on a work surface with the small end pointing away from you. On large end, spread 3 tablespoons dough to within 1 in. of edges. Top with 2 tablespoons chicken mixture and 2 teaspoons olives. Fold long sides of husk over filling, overlapping slightly. Fold over ends of husk; tie with string to secure. Repeat.
- Place a large steamer basket in a 6-qt. stockpot over 1 in. of water; place tamales upright in steamer. Bring to a boil; steam, covered, until dough peels away from husk, about 45 minutes, adding additional hot water to pot as needed. Yield: 20 tamales.

Reviews for Chicken Tamales
"Hi, I had made this recipe with the chicken. It was really good!. Everyone loved them!:-). I just think that I took way to long in the kitchen trying to figure it out. I think that the time this recipe takes should be adjusted for more than it posted. But I really am grateful for this wonderful recipe. Thanks you for posting this. God bless you:-)oh by the way, the dough is the tricky part. Even though it floated, it was still not ready. So I am going to do this again soon. I will let you know how everything goes. Thanks"
"These are absolutely wonderful and I will definitely be making them again. I did cut the chili powder back to just under 1/4 cup for us, and added a couple teaspoons salt to the dough. So good, can't wait to have them again. Thanks for sharing!"
"Let me start off by saying I did not make actual tamales. I just made the chicken filling. I did not get a broiler chicken; I just used 3 chicken breasts, and boiled it with the onion and garlic like the recipe indicated, and I probably used half the water. All the other reviews made me nervous to put in all the chili powder, so I only put in 1/4 cup. I thought it was a good amount of flavor. We put the chicken filling in homemade flour tortillas instead of making tamales. SO, this is 5 stars for the chicken filling. I will make this again."
"My tamales fell apart in the steamer! I am going back to my own recipe."
"My family absolutely love these. It was my first attempt at making them. The recipe was so easy to follow. I only had a 1/4 cup of chili powder and added taco seasoning to it. If I do that again I will omit all salt in the recipe. Other than that I would definitely recommend this recipe to others. Talked to a friend after I made them, and she wants the recipe, too."
"Where could a person get corn husks in the off season? Do you actually eat the corn husk? I love mexican foods, but this is somthing I have never seen or tasted before."
"These were really good. I added 1/4 c. chili powder instead of the 3/4 c. suggested and they turned out perfectly. I'd shudder to think what 3/4 c. would taste like."
"I love this recipe! I made these for New Years Day and they were a hit. It was the first time I had made tamales...I thought it would be dificult and it was so simple that we were even able to finish in the dark after the power went out! I'm definately making these again."
"This are a lot of work ,but are so good. You do need some salt in the dough.maybe 1 t,"

Lung cancer remains the malignancy with the highest mortality and second highest incidence in both men and women within the United States. Image-guided ablative therapies are safe and effective for localized control of unresectable liver, renal, bone, and lung tumors. Local ablative therapies have been shown to slow disease progression and prolong disease-free survival in patients who are not surgical candidates, either due to local extent of disease or medical comorbidities. Commonly encountered complications of percutaneous ablation of lung tumors include pneumothorax, pleural inflammation, pleural effusions, and pneumonia, which are usually easily managed. This review will discuss the merits of image-guided ablation in the treatment of lung tumors and the underlying mechanism, procedural techniques, clinical utility, toxicity, imaging of tumor response, and future developments, with a focus on radiofrequency ablation.

Unlocking Contracted Recurring Revenues to use for Debt Collateral
Every month my company sells roughly $15,000 worth of monthly recurring revenue contracts with five year term lengths. The service sells for $1,000 per month so every month we sign on 15 new customers. $15,000 * 12months * 5 years = $900,000 (total contract revenue for all 15 contracts sold during the month) We've maxed out our borrowing on physical assets held by the company and I need to find a way to unlock these revenue streams to use as collateral for further growth. What's the best way to do this? I would prefer to not have to go to every customer and amend their contracts in any way. Thanks!

The Puerto Rican government on Thursday announced that it will issue driver's licenses to undocumented foreigners, a measure that could benefit more than 100,000 immigrants on the island, most of them Dominicans.
The measure is a significant step in that possessing it will now allows thousands of Dominicans and other foreign migrants lacking identification to open bank accounts, be legally hired and pay taxes.
Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla announced at a press conference the change in the rules for obtaining provisional driver's licenses, a move that comes thanks to an amendment to the U.S. commonwealth's Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law approved in June 2013.
Applicants will need to prove they have resided in Puerto Rico for more than a year, that they lack a Social Security Card, are not U.S. citizens or are not authorized by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to live in the United States. They would still have to pass the regular driving and traffic regulations tests.
"These driver's licenses symbolize a light illuminating the lives of men and women who are experiencing situations of vulnerability out of fear of deportation and fear of being separated from their loved ones and the country that has taken them in," Garcia Padilla said.
Federal authorities will not accept the license as valid identification for flying on an airplane or for any other purpose.
The license will be valid for three years, can be renewed for another three years and will have a different design than standard driver's licenses.
Being an identity document with a photograph and issued by the government, the license will not only make it easier for Puerto Ricans to do routine tasks but will also enable a person who has irregular immigration status to feel safe going to a hospital and registering their children for school.
Garcia Padilla emphasized that the Puerto Rican police cannot arrest people carrying the provisional license because of their immigration status.
According to the most recent figures, Puerto Rico's population officially stands at 3.6 million, of whom 68,000 are Dominicans with U.S. citizenship.
There are no figures concerning the number of undocumented Dominicans in Puerto Rico, but unofficial calculations are that they could number around 100,000, although some estimates range as high as 400,000. EFE

Spotlight: A review of the HTC 8X
The HTC 8X does not have 4G capabilities and make use of an operating system that may be daunting to a lot of users. The phone is actually the Windows Phone 8X and it is one of the nicest and tactile phones you can get hold of today. This phone joins the HTC 8S and aims to compete with the likes of the Nokia Lumia 820 and the Nokia Lumia 920.
The HTC 8X feels sturdy and solid. It can be considered as one of the best constructed units since the Legend phone. You will not hear any creaking or feel any flexing with this phone. This is somehow due to the battery being sealed inside the phone, so users cannot pop off the back panel. The design allows the battery to be bigger while the phone remains a slim architecture.
It feels smaller than its other competitions with 4.3-inch displays. It will not stretch your hand just like when you hold the Galaxy S2 or the even bigger S3.
Its smoothness, blending the polycarbonate body with the glass screen, will make one mistake it for a worry stone that you can flip and rotate thru your fingers.
The sounds coming from HTC phones are always good since the manufacturer's partnership with Beats Audio. The HTC 8X comes with an amplifier to boosts its audio and it comes pretty obvious when you are listening to music or watching some video.
The phone also comes with an 8MP main camera and a 2.1MP front camera. HTC phones are well-known for its quick shutter and HD video capabilities.
The 4.3-inch display has a resolution of 1,280 x 800 with 342ppi. That number simply says that its even better than the Retina Display of the iPhone 5 with 326 ppi. The screen is not AMOLED but will not disappoint in terms of color and brightness. The vibrant tiles of the Windows system is also very inviting.
The HTC 8X sports a dual-core Snapdragon processor. This is the same chip used for the Lumia 920 of Nokia. This is actually enough to run the system without any lag or glitches. The touchscreen is very responsive. HTC was able to make the battery life acceptable.
