CCleaner Optimization and Cleaning Review
Almost every machine that runs a Windows Operating System finds poorer performance as time goes by, and while there have been a number of Windows software patches designed to prevent these kinds of issues, there are an equal number of third party programs claiming they can offer the same level of performance change. CCleaner is one of these, and among its claims are the ideas that "It protects your privacy online and makes your computer faster and more secure." Even for most software today, claims like those are no small feat.
Part of the problem with almost any of the Windows Operating Systems is that they get bogged down by all of the information coming from the programs you use most often, and that's where CCleaner tries to step in an help. In Internet Explorer, it claims to be able to remove temporary files, history, cookies, autocomplete entries, and the index.dat entry. In Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, the program suggests it can clear temporary files, the history, cookies, the download history, and the form history. In Opera, CCleaner can supposedly clear the temporary files, the history, and the cookies. It can help outside of primary browsers as well, though, according to marketing materials. In Windows, it can dump the recycle bin, clear the recent documents history, as well as clear the temporary files and the log files. It also incorporates a registry cleaner function that helps to eliminate older or unused registry entries that may be considerably slowing performance.
While you could undertake almost any of these functions on your own, the ability to clean all of them simultaneously is an enticing proposition because it can save you so much time.
Like many free programs out there, this one is fairly easy to navigate. The main screen has two separate tabs. The first one deals with all of your main Windows functions, and the second one deals with the other applications CCleaner can take a look at during the scan. In the main Windows tab, there's a drop down menu, so you can choose whether you want to get rid of your recent documents, your auto complete search assistant memory, the files in your recycle bin, and your temporary files. You can even clean up any ChkDsk fragments or other old data that needs to be cleared. Here you'll also find another drop down menu under "Advanced" to help you clear out other things like the menu order cache and the user assist history. If you're not sure what these things are, it's probably best not to clear them at all.
The applications tab is the second place you'll want to visit before you run CCleaner. Here's where you can choose to clean the other browsers you have installed on your machine as well as other functions like Adobe Acrobat and even Google Earth.
You choose which functions you want to clean using handy checkboxes, and while this process may take a bit the first time you run it, it gets faster after the initial run. You can analyze the selections you make before you actually run CCleaner, and you'll get a chance to see how much disk space you can clear.
You may also want to take a look at the Tools menu before you actually run CCleaner on your computer. It gives you the ability to uninstall some programs you may not actually be using on your computer. The Options menu can be fairly helpful too, as it allows you to run some personal settings that will be essential not only during the first scan, but also during future ones. You can pick which cookies you want to keep and how to customize the scans themselves, including the level of security you get with each.
There are a few different concerns with regard to the performance of any software product like this one. Naturally, the first one is how quickly the program can perform its scan and get out of your way, and here, CCleaner ranks pretty highly. The total scan time is really minimal, less than five minutes depending on the settings you choose. While it can take much longer if you choose to run it with the safe file deletion setting on, if you just choose to delete those files, you'll get a quick performance upgrade every time.
The second area for most is how the computer performs while the actual scan is running, and because this one is so fast, that's not typically an issue for many users. There is, however, a lot of scanning going on within that short time frame, so if you try to launch another application, expect some delays.
The final, and perhaps most important, area of any performance review section is whether or not it actually improves the performance of your machine, and here, CCleaner seems to do the job fairly well. If, for example, you've never taken the time to delete all of those temporary files on your machine, you may find that the program is able to delete two to three gigs of material that you'll never need in the future. Additional scans using the program may also help, but they won't be able to delete quite as much as that initial scan did.
Pros and Cons
+ Incorporates an auto-update function to help keep your version on track, and as long as you set it to update regularly, you'll get some great new benefits with each change in versions.
+The price here is ideal, as this is freeware. For absolutely nothing, you get the full version of the program as well as ongoing updates.
- The registry cleaner function this program incorporates is really basic, and while it does help in some regard, for the most part, if you're looking for an advanced registry cleaner, it's probably best to choose another option.
- If you need help with the program immediately, there is a fee of $25 for the priority support license. While this is very little in comparison to most computer cleaning programs, the temptation of free is diminished slightly.
+/- Works with Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
CCleaner is certainly a good addition to almost any computer system. It's free, which makes the overall cost of running it ideal for most people, and it can help to clean up all of the online files you may accumulate if you find yourself online a good deal of the time. Although it won't help to clean every single application on your computer, it does hit all of the major ones, and the fact that it includes a small version of a registry cleaner may be a real plus to some individuals.

Talib Kweli Interview at Exclaim!
Recently interviewed the BK emcee via email (I can't front) for Exclaim! Click the excerpt below for the whole interview and my review of his new album Gutter Rainbows. Spoiler: it's pretty dull. I'm all about that 80s Brooklyn bump on "I'm On One". The new style.
Conscious rappers don't age well and Gutter Rainbows, Talib Kweli's fifth solo album, doesn't shake this preconception. Fresh off last year's solid Reflection Eternal reunion, Kweli is largely on autopilot over terrycloth production and soft batch R&B choruses; the best songs here energize Kweli by linking him with hard beats. "Tater Tot" is a compelling audio cinematic about an Iraq veteran, while Marco Polo's swirling strings and trumpets on "Palookas" set up fierce spitting from Talib and Sean Price. Kwe flows lovely on "I'm On One," Khrysis's beat rolling and knocking like '80s Brooklyn. Kweli and Jean Grae connect for verbal manslaughter over the ominous organ rolls and bumping bass of "Uh Oh." The warm, sincere "Friends and Family" sees Kweli warmly reflecting on his rap career thus far. Treat Gutter Rainbows as a dry run for Prisoner of Conscious, his next studio album, and it goes down much easier.
Also reviewed Ghostdeini's new record here. "Black Tequila" is the jam.

YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Just Parsley Salad
There is an incredibly warm and cozy spot in my heart where the parsley goes. Parsley doesn't usually get people riled up the same way that basil or thyme or oregano do but, if you ask me, it's its own kind of wonderful. What's different about these recipes is that here the parsley serves as the green, the herb, the everything. It's not a decoration or a garnish, it's just the parsley, and it's definitely meant to be eaten this way. No competition, no second fiddle. Continue reading

In democracies, constitutional change occurs 2 ways, by altering:
Meaning of the document thru interpretation, or
Text of the document thru amendment or revision
U.S. Constitution: change thru interpretation
State constitutions: formal change (amendments,
revision) far more frequent than at national level
All state constitutions permit amendments to be formally
proposed by state legislatures – this is most common
method of constitutional change
25 state constitutions expressly provide amendment
methods to be proposed without legis participation, by:
popular petition (constitutional initiative); state
constitutional commission; or constitutional convention
Hawaii's is 1 of 14 state constitutions providing for
automatic periodic placement on ballot of whether
ConCon should be held (HI every 10 yr, others 16-20 yr)

Roy Hodgson: Jack Grealish made a bold decision but no guarantees he's getting into England squad
Roy Hodgson has warned Jack Grealish he cannot guarantee him a place in his squad despite the midfielder's decision to represent England over the Republic of Ireland.
The Solihull-born 20-year-old turned out for Ireland's Under-17s as he qualified through his grandparents but his form for Aston Villa has seen him touted as a future England international.
Grealish turned down a senior call-up with Ireland for their friendly with England in June and pledged his allegiance to the Three Lions in a statement earlier this week.
READ MORE: FAI: We did everything we could to get Jack Grealish
He is unavailable for the European Championship qualification double-header against Estonia and Lithuania and, despite England having already qualified for next summer's tournament, boss Hodgson will not make special allowances to fast-track Grealish into his squad.
"I'm very pleased," he said of the player's decision.
READ MORE: Liverpool's Danny Ings and Spurs' Dele Alli called up to England squad
"I think it is the right decision, frankly he is English having met him and his father, it is an English family albeit with fairly distant Irish roots.
"I think he has got the talent to be an England player, he has a lot of work today before that day is concreted - but I was happy that in a choice between the two countries he took the bolder decision to try and be an England international.
READ MORE: Jack Grealish move is a wake-up call for Ireland
"I was keen to point out to him and his father that there are no guarantees from my point of view - one thing I can categorically say is that the only way he will get into the England squad is if he is one of the best 23.
"We can't offer him any sweeteners or bonuses because you have made a decision to play for England."
Hodgson, who confirmed Villa boss Tim Sherwood had rejected a request for Grealish to train with his squad at St George's Park in the build-up to the fixtures, has called on him to show his undoubted talent at his club to break into the England reckoning.
"We are very happy but what matters now is how he does for Aston Villa - he has got to play well enough now to make sure he gets into the England squad," he said.
"If you make the decision it is because it is something you want to do, I left it with him and I was very pleased to see he plumped for us.
"Tim believes he has a big future and from what little I have seen from him, because he's been injured, I also think Jack has got a big talent - so it was more a question of compounding what he was hearing from other people.
"All he can do now is confirm that talent by playing week after week for Aston Villa - then the world is your oyster."
While Grealish was not internationally cleared to link up with the squad, Hodgson called up uncapped duo Dele Alli and Danny Ings, while there were also recalls for fit-again Ryan Bertrand, Phil Jones and Adam Lallana.
On 19-year-old Alli, Hodgson said: "He has only just broken into the Tottenham team but we have been very impressed by what we have seen.
"We are a year away from France so the thinking is it's a good opportunity for him to come with us, when so many midfield players are missing through injury, that we can get to know him better. Who knows where he will end up? He's a very exciting talent.
Ings is one of five forwards in the squad with Hodgson having seen the other four - Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and captain Wayne Rooney - all score in the Premier League last weekend.
The Liverpool striker has 13 Under-21 caps and Hodgson is happy to finally have him involved at senior level, adding: "He is someone we followed very closely at Burnley last year but we didn't have a chance to bring him in with us because of the Under-21 tournament.
"He was an important member of the Under-21s and we never felt we could rob them to have him with us. Now he is a senior and it is a good opportunity to bring him in - especially now he has been playing at Liverpool and scoring."

Beretta A300 Outlander The Beretta A300 Outlander gun has an advanced gas valve with a self-cleaning cylinder and piston. In the shooting cycle excess pressure, caused by the most powerful cartridges, can be decreased automatically.
Legal Notice to Customers - It is illegal to sell or hire an air gun of any type or style to a person under the age of 18. As a result, please do not be offended if we ask for proof of your identity to prove your age, as a law abiding and conscientous retailer we reserve the right to refuse any sale without reason or explanation.
Made in Italy, In keeping with the Beretta tradition, the new A300 Outlander is a soft-shooting gas-operated semi-auto. The rugged A300 Outlander is elegant, yet efficient, sleek yet strong, with slim graceful lines which leave an indelible impression at first sight.
The A300 Outlander has been manufactured with a reduced number of components (five main assembly groups), which can be stripped for easy disassembly and cleaning. The new auto combines the reliable Beretta bolt with falling block (locked breech). The gun has an advanced gas valve with a self-cleaning cylinder and piston. In the shooting cycle excess pressure, caused by the most powerful cartridges, can be decreased automatically.
The stock provides superior comfort and a secure grip to ensure the highest performance during firing. The stock enhances the overall finish of the gun, being made of fine walnut carefully selected for its appearance, it is also hard wearing and weather resistant.
The Receiver has been completly and precisely machined from a solid block of special light alloy aluminium, with moveable parts made from steel and high quality light alloys. All metal parts are manufactured with special finishes which protect against, wear, tear and rusting. The receiver has been coated with a stylish matt black finish.
The trigger guard is made of heavy duty polymer, with a new semi-square shape making finger positioning easier. The trigger is chrome-plated for ultimate rust protection. The safety button is also newly designed, offering a wider surface for easy operation (and can be reversed for left handed shooters).
In alloy steel, made with the exclusive cold hammering process, the Mobilchoke® barrel is exceptionally robust and proofed for superior steel (Fleur De Lys) and lightweight at the same time.
The new A300 Outlander is a great semi auto package at an exceptional price. A real compliment to the hugely successful A400 series.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Immoor comes from the Angevin personal name Imbert.
Immoor Early Origins
England. Their ancient seat was at Montferrand (now Clermont-Ferrand).
Immoor Spelling Variations
Immoor Spelling Variations
A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Imbert, Imburt, Imberd and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Immoor or a variant listed above: Andrew Imbert, who sailed to Maryland in 1694; and Charles Imbert migrated to Texas in 1890.

Giles Edmund Newsom's Tragic Fate Uncovered By Historian, 11-Year-Old Boy Was Face Of Child LaborHistorians in the News
The image is heartbreaking: An 11-year-old boy, his right arm in a sling and a look of surprised sadness on his face.
The 1912 photograph of a boy who injured his hand working in a textile factory by social reformer Lewis Hine made the boy, Giles Edmund Newsom, the face of child labor in the U.S. Sympathy for his circumstances spurred efforts to safeguard children from such work.
But what happened to Newsom later in life has remained a mystery until now, reports the Daily Mail.
Through his research into child labor, historian Joe Manning uncovered the boy's tragic fate - he died of Spanish Flu in 1918 at the age of 18. Newsom is buried at Hollywood Cemetery in Gastonia, N.C., perhaps in an unmarked grave near his parents, Manning tells the Gaston Gazette....

The photographs in On The Night Bus are taken by Nick Turpin between the hours of 5.30pm and 7.30pm across three UK winters. They are all shot in London though the scenes they express could be from almost any urban centre across the country, there is nothing in particular to ascribe them to the capital. And their mood – of reflection and occasionally despair – will be familiar to anyone who has experienced regular work commutes by bus.
"I photographed into the top deck of the bus from a raised platform using a long lens and very slow shutter speeds," writes Turpin in the book's introduction. "It was generally unpleasantly cold and wet."
The title of this book actually speaks of something more exciting than its contents present. At least to me, as a long-time London dweller, 'the night bus' suggests the hours after the tube has closed and the endless traffic has waned somewhat, when you can whip across the city on a bus at times and speeds utterly unheard of during the day.
There is a thrill to those night bus journeys that is not evident in Turpin's shots, and instead mundanity is the point in his work. People sit huddled, staring blankly out of the windows, which are heavy with condensation, wishing the time and the journey away.
"Standing outside in the dark shooting into the lit and humid interior of the bus allowed me to remain largely invisible to my subjects," Turpin continues. "They were in their own worlds, sleeping, reading, texting or just staring. I became aware that their commute was an odd period of anonymous 'no man's land' between work and home, a transition from the person known by their colleagues to the person known by their families and friends."
On The Night Bus is published by Hoxton Mini Press, priced £16.95. hoxtonminipress.com

When I first started up my own website, I really did not know a whole lot about how it was done. Unfortunately, I was completely new to this sort of thing, and so my website sat there with no visitors at all for about a year. That was when a friend of mine told me that I ought to be using a keyword rank tracker in order to make sure that my site's content would show up on all of the major search engines. This is a system that will allow you to view all of the latest internet trends so that you know what people are looking for when they get on the internet. By looking at this info, you will be able to work your site in a way that allows you to get more people going to it, and that will allow you to either sell more stuff or get more ad revenue.
Well, I decided to go ahead and try out a rank tracker in order to see how the whole thing worked. Thankfully, I was able to find one that gave me a free trial so that I would be able to give it a shot first and see how I liked it. I was glad that I was able to do this, as it allowed me to see just how the system works and whether or not it was something that I would be able to use in order to boost the views on my site.
After trying it out for about ten days, I found that my site views had boosted a whole bunch, and so I went ahead and bought the full version. It has been a great investment, as I am now bringing in great revenue.

Do You Have High Blood Pressure?
Do you worry that tou have high blood pressure. One of the riskiest medical conditions that often goes unnecessarily un-diagnosed is high blood pressure. Testing for high blood pressure and treating it if this disease is diagnosed is relatively simple, but many people just do not regularly schedule check-ups or otherwise test their blood pressure. Unfortunately, high blood pressure is the precursor to many serious diseases and medical conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. It can also lead to heart failure, heart attack, and stroke if not treated. By being sure to regulate your blood pressure closely, you can prevent something more serious from happening to your body.
What Causes High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure causes an excess amount of stress on the artery walls. This causes the heart to have to pump harder, which promotes unhealthy tissue growth and a weakening of the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is weak, you can inadvertently cause it to stop if you overexert yourself. High blood pressure is also a symptom that points to over potential problems for your heart. For example, when high blood pressure is caused by plaque build-up in the artery walls, you should understand that the most major risk of this is heart attack. If too much plaque builds up at a specific section of the blood vessel, it could close off completely, causing heart attack. Similarly, even if it does not close completely, a piece of the plaque could break off from the wall, travel down the blood vessel, and get lodges in a smaller vessel or in the heart itself, also causing a heart attack.
Beyond the heart, a similar thing can happen to the brain. If a piece of plaque cuts off a blood vessel in the brain, you suffer from a stroke. While you can eventually regain heart-health again after a mild heart attack, the effects of a stroke can be long lasting or permanent, depending on where in your brain the effected blood vessel is located. Because blood is cut off from your brain, oxygen cannot travel to this area, and so pieces of the brain die. Some cannot be rebuilt, and some, if they die, result in death.
If that's not scary enough, high blood pressure can cause or be an indicator of many other small health problems that can add up to a very sickly body. For example, high blood pressure is often an indicator of too much glucose in the blood stream, causing or caused by diabetes. Even if you do not have diabetes, you are still at risk for chronic renal (kidney) failure if you have high blood pressure.
It is unfortunate that so many people needlessly suffer from these diseases. High blood pressure is easy to diagnose at your doctor's office, but even if you do not wish to make an appointment to have your blood pressure checked, you can still regulate yourself.
Many home testing kits are available on the market to do just this, and if you follow the directions carefully, they can be quite accurate. There is really no excuse for going undiagnosed, so take care of your body by checking your blood pressure today.

We and other energy-policy commentators have written recently about the proposed monetization of Hydro One. Much of the discussion to date has been in the express context of efficiency and cost-cutting, or simply in the rubric of extracting value from Crown-owned assets to fund infrastructure projects.
But there is a broader, more fundamental context in which Ontario policy-makers and commentators should be considering the proposed monetization of Hydro One. Regulators, energy policy-makers and savvy utilities are increasingly concerned about looming disruptive change in the business of transmitting and distributing electricity.
Energy Efficiency and the Erosion of the Conventional Utility Revenue Model
For some years now, utilities have been concerned about the erosive impact of conservation and general energy efficiency on their revenues. Even as customer numbers and energy consuming applications have been increasing, technological innovations in energy using appliances have rendered the operation of households, businesses and industrial processes more energy efficient. These trends result from both rising energy costs, and from a general social awareness of the impact of human activity on the planet. Government and regulatory appetite for encouraging, or enforcing, energy efficiency and alternative energy sources has responded. The undeniable impetus for ways to do more with less energy consumption has, and continues to, grow. The result has been that per customer volumes of energy consumed have been generally flat (less is used per application, even as more applications are emerging), or even shrinking. This poses some financial challenges for utilities.
When per customer use was growing, and utilities were building to serve new customers, much of the revenue required by utilities was collected in the volumetric portion of their rates (a unit rate applied to the total amount consumed). This way, those customers who use more pay for more of the costs of the system. With customer usage declining, so too are revenues generated by volumetric charges. Changes to rates have lagged these trends, and utility revenues have been squeezed as a result.
The conventional utility reaction to manage these revenue impacts has been to seek to allocate a greater portion of costs to the fixed component of their rates (the monthly, flat rate "customer charge"). The Ontario Energy Board has even considered the option of a completely fixed rate distribution charge.[1] This approach is said to reflect the value to the customer of the grid being available to serve them, which value is not dependant on how much they use it. Up to a point, this approach stabilizes revenues in the face of declining per customer consumption.
This conventional utility solution only works until one (or both) of two things happens. If the fixed charge were to get higher than is palatable for regulators, the growth in the fixed charge could be capped, and declining volumes would result in "stranding of assets" (i.e. the recovery of certain costs would not be possible). Considering that the impact of the fixed charge approach is "regressive" from a low-volume (including low-income) consumer perspective, this is a very real risk. Alternatively, as self-generation technologies emerge and decline in cost, fixed charges could get higher than palatable for some customers, and the cost of being connected to the grid to back-up personal generation systems may become no longer worth the benefit of the connection. As these customers start to migrate off of the grid, the grid costs are left behind to be recovered from fewer remaining customers, the problem gets bigger, and the impetus for change accelerates. This 'grid flight' is already a reality facing centralized utilities operating in regions of the world where delivered electricity costs are high.
Disruptive Technology
Enter "disruptive technology", and the pace of this change in the utility business increases dramatically.
The most talked about example of a disruptive technology in the utility business is the combination of solar power and an affordable and powerful new battery system. The cost of photovoltaics is coming down quickly, at both grid scale and individual customer scale, and work on new and better batteries is proceeding at a furious pace. Batteries solve the "intermittency" problem of renewable electricity generation. These new systems provide increasingly affordable self-generation options which can be fuelled for free, can be scaled from residential on up, and can provide reliable energy on call. With additional security of supply through the redundancy provided by community (or industrial park or commercial complex) based micro grids, these systems become both viable and reliable. They essentially eliminate material line losses. They preclude the need to deal with power company bureaucracies. There are no frustrating billing or customer service issues. There is a whole stable of emerging distributed energy systems service providers primed for competition and customer service.
The technological advances and cost decreases offered by these technologies will disrupt the centralized utility business model of the last century.
Whither the traditional utility?
What happens to our current electrical utilities under this new model? They either change, or collapse in a messy heap of stranded costs and outdated solutions.
Successful adaptation will require a number of things. One of them is a regulatory rethinking of the transmission and distribution model, and business. Another, key thing is capital to invest in remaking that business. Yet another is the ability to take, and manage, emerging risks.
One of the challenges facing the utility sector is how to sustain current distributors while allowing their successors to emerge. It has been opined[2] that the time for utilities, regulators and policy makers to act on these challenges is now, while conventional utilities still have sufficient revenue available and sufficient fiscal health to remake their businesses.
Rethinking Hydro One
What should be abundantly clear is that things will change. In anything longer than the short term, the status quo is simply not an option. The sooner we focus on what to change, and how to change it, and forget about the whether to change, the better, and cheaper and less disruptive in the long run.
All of this brings us back to the discussion of Ontario's electricity utilities, and the restructuring and the monetization of Hydro One. This discussion should not be confined to the context of protecting Crown-owned monopolies and mid-twentieth century notions of "public power". This discussion should be undertaken in the context of technology that is evolving so rapidly that simply keeping up is a huge challenge. The assumption and management of risk and the quick and strategic deployment of capital to capture emerging opportunities is an imperative. Ontario's current, fragmented and provincially/municipally owned distribution sector is ill equipped for any of these things.
Tomorrow will most certainly look different from today. Electricity policy, including electricity policy in Ontario, must react. Clinging to historical notions of utility ownership and operation will only hasten what many informed commentators see as a looming disruption of our utility system.

BBC Review
Stripped down and captivatingly raw, this is bonafide jazz all the way.
Thomas Barlow 2008
In an era ruled by songbook clones, the arrival of Brooklyn based vocalist José James is a breath of fresh air. Blessed with striking baritone vocal pipes (a little Terry Callier here, a lot of Gil Scott Heron there), the newcomer draws on the spiritually elevated heritage of Andy Bey and John Lucien to make earthy, intelligent, and downright sexy acoustic jazz.
Born in Minneapolis of Irish and Panamanian descent, James has learnt a thing or two about good song-writing in his 28 years. The Dreamer is a hugely impressive debut with James oozing class every time he opens his mouth. Just ask Gilles Peterson, who snapped up the singer after being handed a demo tape (a cover of John Coltrane's Equinox) at a London club night.
And despite Peterson's knack for discovering jazzy acts that keep dancefloors moving, The Dreamer is not a crossover album. Stripped down and captivatingly raw, this is bonafide jazz all the way.
Accompanied mostly by piano, double bass and drums (legendary bop player Junior Mance drops in for an excellent cover of Roland Kirk's blues Spirits Above), the singer handles his laid-back, often self-penned material with assurance. The gorgeously romantic Blackeyedsusan is a delight; and a cover of Park Bench People by hip hoppers Freestyle Fellowship also maintains the sparse tone with a balmy backbeat and Gal Ben Haim's guitar taking tasteful solo duties over a bassline borrowed from Freddie Hubbard's Red Clay.
Elsewhere, there's plenty of evidence that James is not into crooning for nostalgia's sake. Take the title track, a dedication to Martin Luther King that is catchy, soulful and smooth (in the best possible sense of the term). And despite the odd venture into up-tempo swing, or the drum 'n' bass and Fender Rhodes of Love, this record remains above-all a low-key delight (for proof, check out James pulling on the heartstrings on Bill Lee's sorrowful Nola).

New York, NY (PressExposure) February 05, 2009 -- Paltalk, the leading real-time, video-based community with over 4 million active members, today announced the launch of its new TechNow network where new ideas about technology will be presented in live, interactive Internet events. The first interactive, live event entitled, Are We the Crash Test Dummies For The New Internet Age, will discuss the genius and the perils of the Internet with two leading tech titans, visionary Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO of Comodo and noted Internet commentator and CEO of Silicon Alley Insider, Henry Blodget.
The Internet and social networking is now central to how people transact business, communicate and interact with each other. Yet, as the Internet expands our ability to stay connected, evolving dangers undermine the Internetâs potential. This landmark 3-part series will premier on Paltalkâs new TechNow Network where participants can interact with the guests and with each other on a range of subjects organized in three parts.
· Program 1 - âThe Internet Today: Like Cars before Seatbeltsâ. February 10 at 3 pm (EST).
This talk will address the truth about where we are today and how the criminal elements may very well take over the Internet. While there is an entire Internet security industry working to keep people safe, a lot of the responsibility for achieving a trusted Internet falls to the user community itself.
· Program 2 - âYour Digital Identity - Establish it or lose it.â March 3 at 3 pm (EST) This will focus on how much we should reveal about ourselves online without risking our very identities. The program will discuss how the emerging transparency of social networking makes individuals more vulnerable to fraud and ID breaches.
· Program 3 - âTransforming the Web into Your Web.â March 19 at 3 pm (EST)
The final program will challenge us to address how we navigate through an increasingly complex Internet while leveraging new powerful tools to carve out a personal web for each of us.
To join the show on any show date, simply go to http://TechNow.Paltalk.com/CrashDummies
For more information on the show, please visit http://TechNow.Paltalk.com

Well, I have been talking about doing a call for while. With everything that I have been reading on the boards lately, I believe it is time.
Watch Dinar Recaps for the announcement of the time and day. I have been preparing for this call for some time. I have taken your suggestions and I have to say, if I had everyone on the call that you guys have suggested, it would take a good 4 hours just to get around to everyone.
So, I have decided after much prayer and thought to hold this LIVE, NOT RECORDED CALL with STUDLEY and a Very Special Guest. This call will be 30 minutes of absolute TRUTH and no rumors or fiction. Before you listen to this call, please prepare to hear some things that you have really needed to hear for a long time. There has been so much out there that has kept the rollercoaster running amuck! Now, it is time to calm the waters and put a lot of your nerves to rest.
I feel that this call may bring some peace to your day to day dinar watch. Answer some of your questions about what has been going on and what is yet to happen.
Read More link on Right
THERE WILL BE NO Q&A as we anticipate a huge audience of our long time friends involved in this blessing and opening up a Q&A has never been good because there would be too many questions that wuld be asked that just cannot be discussed at this time.
I was asked if this would be a "rate and date" call. It will not. Why? Because even though everything is pointing to any day, nobody knows the exact date or rate. Actually, we could seriously anticipate this call being interrupted by the BIG announcement.... So, watch dinar recaps for the time and day....
In the meantime, GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU and GOD BLESS THE USA!
Freeway Bill

Optional quest to help save a burning village? Why would I want to do that when it will be burning for the next, oh I don't know, FOREVER?
If it's one thing that has plagued MMO's since day one, it is the lack of a dynamic and changing world. I understand there are technical limitations, as you have hundreds of players doing the same thing. If one person completes the quest to save the burning village, then no one else can? Or what about that critical choice to have the soup or the salad?
Choice and consequence have been severely lacking in MMO's over the last decade. Join us after the break to see how ArenaNet is addressing this problem.
Mike O'Brien really gets things rolling right from the start, in the second section of the GW2 Design Manifesto.
Shouldn't great MMORPGs be great RPGs too?
It sometimes feels like our industry has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. When you play an RPG, you want to experience a compelling and memorable storyline. You want your choices to matter. You want your actions to leave their mark on the world. Let's start demanding those things of MMOs too. The original Guild Wars was known for the level of storytelling it brought to online RPGs, so with GW2 we obviously wanted to take it to the next level. In GW you experience the story of the world, but the story in GW2 is the personal story of your character as well. You fill out a biography at character creation time that defines your background and your place within the world, and that starts you on your path. Then the choices you make will take the story in different directions. Each time you play through the game, you can experience a different storyline.
Wait...I have choices? Is this still an MMO? And what is this nonsense about having a different storyline each time I play through the game? Read on, young padawan...
Some games mostly tell story through quest text. But we've all clicked so many exclamation points and accepted so many quests in our lives that we're pretty immune to quest text at this point. GW2 tells story by allowing the player to befriend and adventure with key characters by presenting him with moral dilemmas that will impact the lives of the people around him, and by having him live through the world-changing events and all the key moments of the storyline.I don't know about you, but I welcome the ''no quest text'' approach with open arms. Quest text is annoying, time consuming, and frankly, an outdated way of delivering story and objectives. I have leveled several alts in WoW, and questing in the world has become a time where you zone out following a leveling guide, trying to blast your way to 85 as quickly as possible. I'm sure that is fun for some, but not for me.
In addition to great storyline and important player choices, another hallmark of great RPGs is that they create a world that feels real and alive. Let's say a village is being terrorized by bandits. You don't want to find out about that because there's a villager standing there motionless with an exclamation mark over his head who says when you click on him, "Help, we're being terrorized by bandits." You want to find out like you would in GW2: because the bandits are attacking, chasing villagers through the streets, slaying them and setting their houses on fire. You can stand up for the villagers, or you can watch their village burn to the ground and then deal with the consequences. We've worked hard to create a living, dynamic world for you, where there's always something new to do.When I first read that, my brain kind of went numb for a moment...numb with overwhelming joy. I'm pretty sure I remember myself standing up at my desk and shouting ''YES!'', and maybe shedding a tear, or eight. So the burning village will actually burn down if I don't do something? I better stop typing and go do something! Don't feel like saving the burning village from the bandits? Ok, but come back later and the bandits will have set up a stronghold and will most likely be trying to advance and take out another village.
This section of the Manifesto truly illustrates what I absolutely LOVE about ArenaNet. They ask such simple questions, and answer them strongly with logical ideals. This company knows what they want to accomplish, and are taking their sweet time to make sure it happens. When I talk about GW2, this is the kind of stuff I bring up. I have said, since reading the Manifesto, that if ArenaNet can pull off everything that they say they want to do, this will forever change the way MMO's are made and played. I welcome the change, as the majority of MMO's coming out today are WoW clones at their core. The MMO industry needs someone to come along and slap the complacency out of it.
Thank you ArenaNet, thank you.
Our goal with Make it So is to educate those new to Guild Wars 2, with a basic timeline of major news announcements. And to turn you into ArenaNet fanboys.

In conjunction with the exhibition RACE: Are We So Different? currently on view at the National Museum of Natural History (June 18, 2011 through January 8, 2012) , the Smithsonian is creating programming throughout its various museums and learning centers that supports public conversations about this important topic.
Race: Are We So Different?
National Museum of Natural History
June 18,2011 - January 8, 2011
This much talked about, and well-received exhibit explores the topic of race from cultural, historical, and scientific perspectives and provides for positive dialogue and reflection.
YES Interns and RACE: Are We So Different?
The Youth Engagement through Science internship program engages high school sophomores and juniors from the Washington DC area in exciting internships at the National Museum of Natural History working on meaningful research projects with the Museum's world class research scientists.As part of the program, YES students will be trained as Facilitators to work in the RACE exhibition, providing them with additional experience in learning, education, and public engagement. They will complement the new volunteer corps for the exhibition, and bring a new capacity as peer Facilitators for any young adult visitors.
Highlighted Initiative Partner
The National Museum of American History (NMAH) is one of the pan institutional members of the steering committee for RACE: Are we So Different? exhibition. The Museum dedicates its collections and scholarship to inspiring a broader understanding of our nation and its many peoples. We create learning opportunities, stimulate imaginations, and present challenging ideas about our country's past.
NMAH feels it is important to be involved in this partnership as race is central to an understanding of the American experience. The social construct of race plays a role in many of our exhibitions and programs. For example, our America On The Move and Communities in a Changing Nation exhibitions as well as our museum theater program based on the story of the Greensboro lunch counter all explore issues of race relations and conflicts that have shaped our nation.

Philips achieves new OLED performance levels
Philips also presents three-dimensional and interactive OLED lighting design installations, key features of new Lumiblade OLED lighting solutions to be launched in 2012
Frankfurt, Germany – Philips continues to lead the market in making OLED lighting brighter, larger and available for broader use with the introduction of its new high performance OLED panel at Light + Building 2012.
Philips' Lumiblade OLED GL350 panel offers an unprecedented combination of lumen output and size at an attractive price-performance ratio, making OLED lighting more viable than ever before for general lighting applications.
''Philips' new Lumiblade OLED GL350 panel offers the beauty of OLED lighting in combination with high quality light, for use in general lighting applications,'' said Dietrich Bertram, General Manager of OLED Lighting at Philips. "To illustrate, in the past this level of light output with OLEDs was only possible with twelve panels, but it is now possible with just three.''
Each square GL350 OLED panel offers a lumen output of 115 lumens and a size of 155 cm2, approximately three times larger than any existing OLED panels. It is available in sets of 3 panels, offering a combined light output of 350 lumens.
Philips is demonstrating creative general lighting applications of the new Lumiblade OLED GL350 panel on its booth at Light + Building: an OLED chandelier and a decorative lighting design installation simulating the descent of snowflakes from the sky.
Philips LivingSculpture Kinetic OLED Installation at Light + Building 2012 Partnering with the design group WhiteVoid, Philips presents a spectacular light installation at Light + Building 2012, the LivingSculpture Kinetic OLED installation. It is composed of 864 Lumiblade OLEDs in triangular form and spans 6 meters. The thin OLEDs blend in with the frames of the installation, making it an incredibly thin plane of light that floats freely in space.
Philips' Lumiblade OLEDs allow OLED lighting to be used as a material – rather than as a light source alone – for creative lighting applications. OLED offers unprecedented design possibilities thanks to its thin form and diffused light, and Philips partners with designers and architects, working with them to shape light in new forms.
Philips LivingShapes Interactive Wall The LivingShapes interactive wall reacts to movement in front of it, which is translated into light impulses that illuminate the room in an atmospheric light. Other features include text displays, a video interface and a microphone which transforms surrounding noise into light displays. The LivingShapes interactive wall also distinguishes itself by its modular design. Numerous panels can be arranged either side by side or on top of one another, thus quickly creating an illuminated surface of several square meters, offering designers flexibility in the creation of lighting installations.
Selected by the Messe Frankfurt as one of the "Lighting Trends of the Future" Philips' LivingShapes interactive OLED wall is on display in the passage between halls 5.1 and 6.1 (next to the Philips Consumer Lighting booth in hall 5.1).
New Philips Lumiblade OLED launches in 2012 Philips will take interactive OLED lighting even further with the launch of the LivingShapes interactive mirror in 2012, designed to enhance retail showrooms and enhance ambience in a hospitality setting. Philips' LivingSculpture 3D module system will also be launched in 2012 and will enable designers to bring all three dimensions of space to their OLED lighting installations for the first time.
