Sen Scott Brown made headlines the world over when he won the seat which was predominantly Democratic seat for the past 47 years!
If you asked Sen Scott Brown about his success he'd surely give it all to his voters which he should but one of the reasons he was able to pull a majority win over the seat was his clever suse of the internet.
It is no brainer how important social media and other creative forms of reaching people have become lately. The Obama win certainly underlined the importance. Youtube. Flickr. Twitter. Google ads. He used them all to create an awareness a movement which ultimately lead to his win.
Scott Brown used similar tactics to reach his voter using creative, well-crafted. geographically targeted Google ads to enroll volunteers, collect donations and get votes.
Because Google offers an array of sophisticated tools to its advertisers – be it selecting audience within a certain geographical range by zip code or creating separate messages based on demographics and not to forget the ability to track performace of these campaigns the investment on these campaigns was a hit right from the start.
Google's Mr Panger said that if you were located in Massachusetts you'd see a Scott Brown ad all the time on sites that were a part of Google's content network. Of course, you could only see those ads if you were located in Massachusetts as they were geographically targeted to his voters location.
I am glad that public figures have started embracing the tools of technology to reach out the people. If only they realize the importance of staying in touch with these tools America would have better, quicker and less complex policies and also satisfied people.

Transform the Mobile Internet
See how new Cisco mobility innovations are changing the world around us. (1:40 min)
Innovative Museum Technology
Deliver More Intelligent Personalized Services
Service providers are seeking new ways to accommodate the surge in mobile data traffic, smart portable devices and things coming onto their networks. As mobile devices proliferate, so do the opportunities to strengthen relationships with customers by delivering a superior subscriber experience.
Now you can promote a "your way" experience across wired, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks, without compromising your network. The intelligent network provides granular, real-time visibility and updates across every level of the network-transport and user, access, core, and cloud.
You can use data in motion to address your primary objectives of monetization and optimization while providing exceptional user experiences. Data in motion refers to real-time and near-real-time information that can enable contextual and personalized experiences or services with higher value (price, bit). This intelligence can be extracted at multiple layers and then combined or correlated, resulting in access to valuable information for business-to-business and business-to-consumer services.
A network based on the Cisco next-generation Internet architecture can help you manage the rapid growth in mobile data, and profit from it as well. It includes:
- An elastic programmable mobile architecture, with one of the industry's most comprehensive mobile portfolios
- Cisco Quantum, a software platform consisting of network intelligence functions that gather, process, and facilitate programmability into networks
- Intelligent infrastructure to provide improved coverage and capacity as well as trusted access
- Cisco Licensed Small Cell Solution, a standards-based system with in-building small cell base stations for homes and enterprises

So if we were to know without a doubt that the earth is unique to the universe and was the only celestial body capable of sustaining any life would that change non-believers view of the existense of a God. On the other hand, if we found out there were many other places in the universe with life, would that shake the believer's view of the universe? Just wanted to post something idle. |

If earth were found to be the only life-sustaining body in the universe, atheists and agnostics would extrapolate string theory and claim there's actually more than one universe, we just don't realize it yet. People who believe in God would say "see, told ya so". If we found others life-sustaing bodies existed, atheists and agnostics would say "see, told ya so" and believers in God would fall back to "God works in mysterious ways". Beliefs won't change, because most people hold the beliefs they're comfortable with, and have no desire to change them. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! |

Getlmen I think you missed the important point of the whole discussion. "If earth were found to be the only life-sustaining body in the universe" God would shake a weary head, and sad of heart, disolve the planet,. Then with fortitude that only God can summon, wander of somewhere else muttering under her breath " why did I ever give men the vote,? Well next time...." Regards Bill |

The Federal Trade Commission has settled charges against JewelWay International, Inc., and its corporate officers in an agreement requiring a $5 million payment, which will be distributed to harmed consumers, and provisions halting the challenged conduct. In June of this year, the FTC charged JewelWay and six individual defendants with making deceptive earnings claims, and promising lucrative earnings and other benefits to induce almost 200,000 consumers to invest more than $1000 per person in an illegal multi-level marketing plan, or pyramid scheme. The suit was filed as part of the FTC's "Project Field of Schemes" - a sweep targeted at investment-related fraud.
Legitimate multi-level marketing plans are a way of making retail sales of products or services to consumers through a network of representatives. However, in an illegal pyramid scheme the main focus is not on sales, but on recruiting new representatives into the program. Typically, each new representative must buy a certain amount of products and must recruit a specified number of new participants in order to earn money in the program. In a pyramid scheme there is almost no emphasis on making retail sales of products to persons who are not participants in the program. According to an FTC expert, earnings claims made in conjunction with promoting a pyramid scheme are false because pyramids inevitably collapse when no new participants can be recruited and approximately 90% (or possibly more) of the participants consequently lose their money.
On June 24, the FTC filed charges against JewelWay International, Inc., Bruce A. Caruth, Robert J. Charette, Jr., Donilyn A. Walden, Greg G. Stewart, Angela D. Charette, and Beverly Stewart. The JewelWay case was part of "Project Field of Schemes," a campaign comprised of nearly 61 law-enforcement actions with a major consumer education component.
In its complaint against JewelWay, the FTC alleged that the defendants were operating a pyramid scheme because their promotional efforts focused primarily on recruiting and not on retail sales to non-participants. The FTC further alleged that the defendants made deceptive earnings claims in order to induce consumers to make a token purchase of jewelry and become a JewelWay representative able to recruit additional participants for the company. A judge immediately issued a temporary restraining order freezing the defendants' assets and placing the company into receivership. On July 1, 1997, the defendants agreed to a preliminary injunction that corrected the allegedly illegal conduct.
The FTC's settlement has been submitted to the court and requires the court's approval to become binding. The settlement would require defendants Caruth, Robert and Angela Charette, and Walden to pay $5 million in redress to the approximately 150,000 representatives who invested in JewelWay's program but earned no money. The monies would be due within five days from the date the court enters the order.
In addition, the settlement would prohibit all defendants and JewelWay representatives from operating any pyramid schemes, and:
Finally, the settlement would require the defendants to post the injunctive provisions of the settlement on the World Wide Web, distribute a copy of these provisions to all of their employees, and send a letter describing the misrepresentations and practices prohibited by the settlement agreement to all active representatives, which could total more than 40,000.
The FTC's Denver Regional Office handled this case.
The Commission vote to approve the settlement for filing in court was 4-0. The stipulated final judgment was filed on November 17, 1997, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, in Tucson.
NOTE: This consent judgment is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation. Consent judgments have the force of law when signed by the judge.
Copies of the proposed settlement and other documents associated with Project "Field of Schemes," are available from the FTC's Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-326-2222; TTY for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261.

He taught at Princeton for several years and at the University of Delaware for a decade before his wife, Martha, persuaded him to take a position as a professor in her hometown of Buffalo in 1980. At UB, Richards taught courses ranging from fluid mechanics to structural aesthetics. A specialist in seismic soil mechanics, he authored numerous journal articles and book chapters, as well as well as the textbook "Principles of Solid Mechanics," which contains elegantly hand-drawn diagrams and plentiful footnotes full of literary and observational asides. He retired from UB in 2010. As a young man, Richards twice was a U.S. national champion archer and won the 1950 World Junior Archery Championship held in Brussels.

Interestingly the republicans kept the House country wide , obviously the mandate did not include for Obama to get his own way . Funny thing about elections , leftists like Moriwaki forget simple facts , like BI voted out Bev Woods the moderate , they also voted against moderate Deboer , they instead keep the NARAL supported leftists lke Hansen who vote for higher taxes, fded by outside money , and support bigger government without any tax reforms to subsidize it first . If you want advice on how to elect liberals ask Clarence . You got the representation you wanted , and you get what you deserve .
Olsen also got more votes then any other republican in the North End , goes to show you how the politicking of some types just seem to counter each other from BI . Unfortunately you folks would vote for a d if it was howdy doodie,
Want better candidates , perhaps the democrats should offer some besides the idealogues they offer up .
Glad to see Charters pass and the two thirds required majority . Watching democrats complaing about not being to do all they want to the next two years is at least something . We still are somewhat safe .
If you voted for Hansen , you must reflect his values . Nothing about your character shows anyone should listen to your advice from a moderate position. .

Summary and Book Reviews
Back to Blood: Summary and book reviews of Back to Blood by Tom Wolfe
I have been reading Tom Wolfe for decades ... The manic rhythms and hip verbosity of his writing are instantly recognizable even to the point of repeating various tropes. His propensity for naming and counting the musculature of male characters as well as the delights of female bodies shows up in every book. This book was no different. I was weary of the same old stuff and wondered if Wolfe hadn't passed his prime. I worried that his use of sexual language went outside the realm of what BookBrowse could recommend to its readers.

John Carter – Lost in Our World. Found in Another.
Posted by

As a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs I was happy to see this film come out. While everyone went nuts for Tarzan books I always loved the Sci-Fi stories that Burroughs told so his John Carter series was loved by me. I really do not understand why people hated this film so much, it must be all the looking down the barrel game mentality of today. The film really was done well and to me, stay true to the spirit of the fiction that it was based on, A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is always a pleasure to see a film made that follows its source and tries to pay homage to it. This is what I saw in the film John Carter.

Clark County, Ky., resident preserves stories of veterans [Online Extra]
<![CDATA[WINCHESTER, Ky. (AP) -- A Clark County resident is making sure the stories of American veterans aren't forgotten. According to the Winchester Sun, Don Rose interviews area veterans for the Veterans History Project, which is backed by the American Folklife Center and seeks to preserve the personal accounts of veterans for future generations. Rose recently surpassed 200 interviews. Once completed, two copies are made of the interview. One goes to the local library and another goes to the veteran's family. The original is sent to the Library of Congress, which Rose said has started making the interviews available online. The project prefers combat veterans, but Rose said he will interview any willing veterans. "We'll still do it because they put that uniform on and they said, 'I am declaring myself as willing to put myself on the line for my country,' " he said. "And that counts too."

The 55th Grammy Awards show was my favorite to date. I actually watched the entire show and saw all the commercials. That has never happened! A round of applause to whoever put the Bob Marley Tribute together, it was so much fun to watch. I was up doing the dutty wine (lol).
There were quite a few bombshells that came to the Grammy's with more than just an amazing ensemble. This year I'm all about eating right, getting fit, and finding styles that accentuate my stature. So I went with these women for my fashion picks who gave me style, natural beauty, as well as a reason to get in the gym.
My fave of the night was none other than BaddieBey. Yes her look is simple, but it's classic. I love how she paired the black and white color scheme with a red lip and slicked back pony tail. The form fitting jump suit set Beyonce apart from the rest of the Grammy attendees. This ensemble shows you can be simplistic, and still illustrate something bold and different. And that booty....You can see it from the front. Go BEY... #iwantherbody
Ok so I know I'm going to get some flak for this one, but hear me out. Janelle Monae has made it very clear, that when she steps in front of the public she will always be in her uniform, which is a black tuxedo. At least she has a little embellishment on the collar and her gorgeous natural mane is adorned with a hat. What I really love about Janelle is her face and hair. She is natural beauty. I love how she remains true to herself and individual style.
Miss Miranda Lambert looks like a southern belle in this floor length Roberto Cavalli gown. This dress is an eye catcher but her performance dress was a show stopper, check it out here! Miranda rocked her curves on stage and had all the males on my timeline drooling. Get it Miranda!
Last night J Lo had everyone saying, "WOW I need to hop on the leg press". Those thighs and calves looked great. If you have the right weaponry you can "dress to kill". This straight forward gown received plenty of "Ooos and Awwws" and also got a candid reaction out of Drake. Check out his review of Jen's dress here.
Ladies take a few notes from these women and wear what works for you! Fashion is about more than just fabric and designer labels, its about showcasing what makes you special, so everyone can see how BLESSED you really are. Embrace your natural beauty and be confident in who you are and what you wear.

Year: 2012
Country: USA
Run Time: 73 minutes
In December 2008 young environmentalist Tim DeChristopher attended a BLM Oil and Gas lease auction concerning thousands of acres of land surrounding national parks and monuments in Utah. As BIDDER 70, DeChristopher won nearly 22,000 acres he had no intention of drilling on, thus saving them from environmental disaster. Also, he had no intention of paying. DeChristopher's act of civil disobedience derailed the Bush Administration's last minute attempts to auction off pristine parcels of our planet's most beautiful lands for oil and gas exploration. Like most acts of civil disobedience, DeChristopher's was met with troubling legal action for, as the government called it, "disrupting open public processes and causing financial harm to the government and other individuals." And they were serious when they said that. BIDDER 70 follows DeChristopher in the months leading up to his trial, during which the new Obama administration declared the initial auction as improper and pulled all parcels from auction. Refusing to bide his time quietly, DeChristopher heroically began campaigning for peaceful demonstrations to help protect Mother Earth. In an age of rising tensions between The Establishment and The People, DeChristopher proves the best warriors are the peaceful fighters. T.W.

for Dremel rotary tool.
Now that the Dremel contest voting is over I guess it's ok to update this instructable. Here is a "supplement" video showing the table saw extension in action. :)
Step 1: Get templates here!
I am attaching a PDF that includes the templates I made for this project. Open the PDF and save it to your computer.
Print out the templates (I suggest using 100 pound card stock for the templates).
MAKE SURE... that you select None in the Page Scaling option when printing!
If you fail to do this the printer will scale the pages to a different size and the templates will not be correct.

Thanks for this one, sdudley.
The failure to analyze and think ahead was purely mine. I was in such a hurry to get mine completed and begin using it, I just didn't take the time to account for the added battery length for my unit. Easy to fix, when I get around to it. A lengthy unit isn't really anything to complain about...
All in all, it's been quite beneficial. I hope my original comment will help others not make MY mistake.
I saw your response for metric system dimensions. I want to make the whole project a bit bigger eg 1,5x times the original. What dimensions do i have to change?
Another question is what about using it as a router, how we change the height of the dremel tool while in vertical position?
With my acyllic top I only get about 3mm cutting depth. I can rip 5mm balsa with two passes. I was going to try 1mm carbon fibre sheet but it is a bit pricey. What I did was found a 40mm blade on ebay. With a bit of DIY I managed to fit it in the saw attachment. I had to remove the spring loaded safety cover to make it fit. I can now cut around 6 - 7mm. Remembering to take it easy....
I had planned to redesign it using the flex shaft and some larger saw blades I found at Harbor Freight Tools: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=rotory+tool+saw+blades
This would omit the need for the saw attachment and give me a little more hieght from the blade. However, I am designing several other tools which use the Dremel as the power source, one of which will be a new table saw, but I have a long way to go before I finish everything.
One thing I want to do, is get rid of the acrylic top and use a thin piece of aluminum or stainless steel sheet instead. I have not done so yet, but I think it would work much better. You just need the proper tools to work with that type of material which I don't have.
I am currently in the process of designing a modular bench for all my Dremel tools and accessories. It is a 2'x2' cube that expands to 6' long x 2' deep with an interchangeable center work area. I plan to use it as a tablesaw, router, drill press (using the Dremel work station), small manual milling machine, and a few other things that come to mind.
I am drawing it up in Google Sketchup, and started putting together the basic structure this past weekend. I still have a LONG way to go and many modifications before I think about making it an Instructable though!
If you have any suggestions, I am open to any thoughts.
Also, instead of mounting the Dremal horizontally, maybe the Dremal right-angle attachment would work? Would need a second hole in the table or course. Maybe this method would allow the tool to stay below the table while at the same time keeping the bit perpendicular or parallel to the table.
Just a tip for next time you will saw an acrylic sheet. Cover all the line where you are going to cut with box sealing tape. The box sealing tape will work like lubricant.
Again thanks for you excellent ideas.
I also use Sonicfire Pro by SmartSound for the music. It's kind of expensive but you pay once for the music and you can use it anytime and as much as you like. You can also remix each song many different ways to fit many different moods. It's a great production tool for any amateur (or professional) videographer.
I would so like to build this table. Could the link be fixed or could you send me the templates in an email. Thanks
I believe it is on page two of these comments (between 41 - 80) so you will need to click the "next" button.
Let me know if that helps.
I'm making mine today for a Black and Decker RTX. I'll post some pictures when I'm done with it!
Great tutorial! Thanks!

In Our Own Backyard…I'm dreaming of a purple Christmas
One evening last week, when things were a little slow and there was no football on TV, I somehow convinced my husband to watch a television show called, "Celebrity Holiday Homes."By: Wendy Johnson, Pine Journal
One evening last week, when things were a little slow and there was no football on TV, I somehow convinced my husband to watch a television show called, "Celebrity Holiday Homes." It was about a trio of stars from the entertainment industry who agreed to allow interior designers to come into their homes to decorate for Christmas.
And though the celebs took the time at the top of the show to fill the designers in on the types of things they like and don't like, the designers were pretty much given free rein to do whatever they darned well pleased. (I suppose that was because the producers of the television program were footing the bill!)
In any case, what ensued was an interior designers' free-for-all, resulting in the most non-traditional-looking Christmas decor that I have ever seen. One utilized baby blue chiffon swags flanking a wall of hanging birch rounds bearing photos of the family. A poinsettia-bedecked log took the place of the dining room chandelier, suspended by more baby blue chiffon swags.
Another designer transformed the entire home into purple everything – purple floral arrangements, a fake purple Christmas tree, a chandelier of purple glass bulbs, purple-frosted sugar cookies and strings and strings of purple LED lights draped over every square inch of the outside of the house.
The third designer chose to transform her celebrity home into a Hawaiian paradise, complete with shiny green banana leaves on the mantle, banks of scarlet bird of paradise plants and strings of seashells festooning the tree.
Of course, when the big "reveal" came at the end of the show, the celebrities all oohed and ahhed over their transformed homes, using diplomatic terms such as "non-traditional," "so unusual" and "amazing."
After casting our own critical eye on the finished products, we both decided that we liked the home with the Hawaiian theme best – simply because it was done in red and green!
The whole mind-boggling experience made me second guess my own decorating taste and expertise.
As luck would have it, I had decided to do my Christmas decorating that very weekend. And when I dragged out the old, familiar boxes, I realized that I pretty much do the same thing year after year. The tree goes by the big picture window, the lighted garland drapes over the upstairs railing, the pinecone garland goes on the fireplace mantle, the nutcracker goes on the hearth, the porcelain-faced Santa goes on atop the stereo speaker in the corner, and my handmade Nativity scene goes on the windowsill of the dining room. It's just easier to do things the same way every year.
That's how I remember Christmas at my grandma and grandpa's house when I was little. I always knew there'd be bubble lights and silver tinsel on the tree and the electrically lit pyramid of candles in the window. That, in its simplest form, was Christmas.
I'm not certain, then, why I let that silly television program shake my confidence. I wondered if maybe I should change up this year's Christmas tree by decorating it with all shiny silver balls and lavender flocked poinsettias. But I couldn't imagine leaving out the little wooden cat ornament my kids made for me, signing their names on the back with the wood burning tool my son had gotten for Cub Scouts. How could I possibly leave off the felt mitten ornaments I had made each year my kids were growing up by tracing around their handprints? And there was no question of eliminating the tattered white dove with real feathers that my husband had used to decorate his family tree for many years....
I debated whether to forego the multicolored lights and go with something sophisticated like deep blue or dazzling white, but somehow that just didn't feel right.
I wondered if I should replace the simple pots of greens at the end of our walkway with illuminated penguins or sprays of metallic silver boughs.... Nah.
By the time I finished decorating, I looked around the house and realized everything looked exactly like it does every year. I sighed, wondering if I had somehow missed the boat on Christmas decorating skills.
But on Sunday afternoon, my husband came back from a secret mission to the cluttered sun porch where we have all of our Christmas presents stored and waiting to be wrapped – the bicycles, the dolls, the toy cars, the Christmas sweaters, and the clouds of festive gift wrap and bows.
"You know, you ought to take a picture out there," he suggested. "That looks like Christmas!"

Posts Tagged 'canvas board'
Using Canvas as a Painting Surface for Artists
In earlier centuries, wood panels used to be the more common surface for artists to paint on. By the 17th century, canvas became much more popular, and began to overshadow the used of wood panels. As the use of canvas became more popular, artists would coat the canvas boards with white lead paint in order to diminish the texture of the canvas, and get as smooth a finish as possible. Modern artists embrace the texture of the canvas, and purposely allow it to come through in their paintings, within reason.
The Versatility of Canvas For Paintings
Artists use a variety of canvas forms to paint on, depending on their needs and their budget. There are many advantages to painting on canvas. After being stretched on a frame of some sort, the canvas can be painted along the edges, which will not require any framing. Some artists or purchasers of the art may choose to frame the canvas, but it's not necessary.
How Canvas Can Be Purchased
Artists don't have to just buy a canvas that has already been stretched over a specific sized-frame. There are a variety of ways which canvas can be purchased:
Rolled Canvas
Artists have the choice of buying the canvas rolled up, ready to prime and stretch over a frame. The decision to go with rolled canvas versus stretched canvas depends on a few things. Rolled canvas tends to be less expensive than canvas that has already been stretched. In addition, using rolled canvas does not make you dependent on the size restrictions that may come with canvas that has already been pre-stretched. The artists simply buys a roll large enough to meet their needs, and cut the size accordingly. Whether the canvas is then stretched over a 1/2″, 1″ or 2″ thick frame is up to the artist.
Artists that choose to use rolled canvas need to have a little know-how in the process of cutting, measuring, and actually stretching the canvas over a frame. It essential for the canvas to be very tight to minimize the risk of loosening as the artist paints over the surface.
You may choose to buy rolled canvas that is already primed and ready to be painted on once stretched. However, it is much easier to stretch unprimed canvas. This can easily be primed after it has been stretched and fastened to the frame.
Stretched Canvas
Stretched canvas is more convenient and easy, considering that the work has already been done for you. It is more expensive for this reason. Although it is convenient to have canvas already stretched and ready to paint on, you are restricted to the sizes available to you. Although many sizes are available, perhaps an artist will have a specific size and shape in mind that they might not be able to track down.
Canvas Boards
In comparison to wood frames that canvas is wrapped around and then generally staple-gunned to, canvas boards offer a slight variation in that they are pre-made supports that canvas will then be glued to a board backing. This type of surface is wonderful for students or those who paint a great deal and transport them all over, considering their light weight. The one major downfall to canvas boards is that they are not as sturdy or durable as wood frames, though there are some manufacturers that produces high quality boards.
Where to Buy High Quality Canvas
There are a few suppliers of canvas that you can find locally or even online. Finding products online and having them shipped to your door is really the most convenient way to shop, and will allow you to browse tons of different types and varieties of products. MisterArt.com is one supplier in particular that is committed to helping professional and aspiring artists get the products they need at the prices they can afford.
For those who are interested in stretching their own canvas, you may be interested in purchasing rolls of canvas. One brand in particular is Fredrix, who manufactures Acrylic Primed Cotton Duck Canvas that is made of 100% cotton duck and is universally primed. These rolls come in a variety of sizes ranging from 53″ x 6 yd rolls to 53′ x 100 yd. They range in price from $63 to $707. Visit MisterArt.com for more information on these rolls of canvas.
For the artist that appreciates the convenience of having canvas already stretched out for them over a frame, you may be interested in Creative Edge Pre-Stretched Canvas from Fredrix. This staple-free design allows you to paint on every side, allowing the user to hang the painting with or without a picture frame. A strong vinyl spine keeps the canvas in place instead of unsightly staples. there are a variety of sizes and dimensions to choose from, and range in price from $15 to $208. Visit MisterArt.com for more information on stretched canvas.
Types of Canvas Materials Used
Over the centuries, artists used a variety of textiles to create the canvas that artists would paint upon. There are a few different materials that are used to weave the canvas. Types of canvases include linen, cotton, synthetic and burlap. The highest quality canvas is that made of linen, due to its durability and its resistance to expansion and contraction from moisture. Burlap is the cheapest form of canvas materials. It can get quite brittle, and will weaken quite easily, therefore not lasting for very long. Its weave is very course, and the texture is quite noticeable, which many artists may not appreciate.
My Take
The kind of canvas you purchase really depends on the type of artist you are and your budget. If you are not very particular about the exact dimensions of your art work and have the money to spend, then perhaps stretched canvas is the way to go, especially if you can't be bothered to stretch it yourself. On the other hand, if your budget is tight, and you are quite picky about the dimensions of your canvas surface, than buying rolls of canvas might be the right choice for you. Visit MisterArt.com for a wide selection of canvas that will be suitable for your needs.

Here's a look at some of the movies now being screened in the area.
"The Intouchables"
On paper, this looks like eat-your-vegetables cinema: The story of a wealthy, white disabled man and the troubled black youth from the projects who becomes his reluctant caretaker. Surely, life lessons will be learned by all and an unlikely friendship will form across racial and socioeconomic lines and we'll all feel good about ourselves walking out of the theater afterward. It could have been painfully mawkish, but writers and directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano upend expectations by infusing the comedy with a subversive, playful tone throughout, with some totally inappropriate humor and even some surprises. It's sweet but not saccharine, and the result is irresistibly crowd-pleasing. (The film is already a huge hit in its native France and beyond, having made nearly $340 million worldwide and earning Omar Sy the Cesar Award for best actor over the Oscar-winning star of "The Artist," Jean Dujardin.) While you're watching it, you can just imagine how easy an English-language remake would be, you could cast it in your head — and indeed, the property already has been optioned for that very purpose. Until then, though, we can be charmed by the original. The hugely charismatic Sy stars as Driss, who spends his days hanging out with his pals on the streets of Paris and not really trying to find work. He only answers an ad seeking help for the rich quadriplegic Philippe (Francois Cluzet) because he wants to make it appear as if he's job hunting in order to keep receiving welfare. But there's something about this guy that Philippe likes; Driss is hired, despite being totally unqualified. And so begins the journey in which each helps the other become a better man. While it all sounds too impossibly inspirational to be true, "The Intouchables" happens to have been inspired by a true story. Yes, the "Magical Negro" element of Sy's character may sound like a cliche and it might make some viewers uncomfortable, but his character is complex and flawed enough to transcend type. He and Cluzet are delightful together, each bringing a different kind of energy while bringing out the best in the other. R for language and some drug use. 112 minutes. Three stars out of four.
"Men in Black 3"
There's a moment early on when Will Smith's Agent J sits down next to his longtime partner, Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K, and bemoans the fact that he's too old for this sort of thing — for running around New York in matching dark suits, chasing down aliens and zapping them with their shiny metal weapony doohickeys. We're paraphrasing a bit. But unfortunately, that's an excellent observation. We're all too old for this sort of thing — the shtick itself has gotten old, and it has not aged well. Fifteen years since the zippy original and a decade since the sub-par sequel, we now have a third "Men in Black" movie that no one seems to have been clamoring for except maybe Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of all three. Long-gestating and written by a bunch more people than actually get credited, the latest film shows the glossy style and vague, sporadic glimmers of the kind of energy that made this franchise such an enormous international hit. But more often it feels hacky, choppy and — worst of all — just not that funny. And of course, it's in 3-D for no discernible artistic or narrative reason. Smith and Jones don't seem to be enjoying themselves, either, in returning to their roles as bickering secret government agents. The plot requires J to go back in time to prevent an old alien nemesis of K's (Jemaine Clement) from killing him during the summer of '69. This prompts all kinds of obvious jokes about the era but also introduces the best part of the whole movie: Josh Brolin as Young Agent K, channeling Jones in eerily dead-on fashion. Enjoyable as Brolin's performance is, though, the novelty wears off pretty quickly. PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and brief suggestive content. 105 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.
"Moonrise Kingdom"
The contradiction inherent to all Wes Anderson films — the juxtaposition of the meticulous artificiality of the settings and the passionately wistful emotions that are longing to burst free — is at its most effective in a while here. The director and co-writer's tale of first love, filled with recognizable adolescent angst and naive fumblings, feels at once deeply personal (and, indeed, it was inspired by a boyhood crush of his own) and universally relatable. Of course, it features the fetishistic obsession with production and costume design that is his trademark; nothing ever happens by accident in Anderson's films, which are frequently and accurately described as dollhouses or dioramas. If you love him, you'll love this: The screenplay, which Anderson co-wrote with Roman Coppola, has resulted in his sweetest and most sincere live-action movie since the one that remains his best, 1998's "Rushmore" (2009's "Fantastic Mr. Fox," which he crafted through painstaking stop-motion animation, is also a charmer). And, similar to "Rushmore," it has precocious, misunderstood young people at the center of its precise yet off-kilter world. Newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward star as Sam and Suzy, 12-year-old loners who find each other and run away together at the end of summer 1965. Sam, an orphan, flees his Boy Scout-style troupe of Khaki Scouts (Edward Norton plays their loyal leader); Suzy, the only daughter and eldest child of married lawyers who ignore each other (Anderson regular Bill Murray and Frances McDormand), feels neglected and has been acting out. Trouble is, these two have nowhere to go — they live on the insular New England island of New Penzance, a rocky, rugged place with no paved roads and only one phone — and a storm of epic proportions is on its way. Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Bob Balaban and longtime Anderson friend and collaborator Jason Schwartzman round out the excellent supporting cast. PG-13 for sexual content and smoking. 94 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Braces and Orthotics: Hand
Braces and orthotics to help correct musculoskeletal problems of the hand
Braces and orthotics are devices that may be worn or attached directly to bone, that are designed to support or correct musculoskeletal problems. These devices can help people who have suffered an injury by protecting areas of the body from further deformities; by promoting healing; by replacing or enhancing functionality and stability in areas of the body that may be weakened or injured; and by increasing mobility while decreasing rehabilitation time.
The orthopedic surgeons at Hurley Medical Center are highly skilled in prescribing a wide range of braces and orthotics, from complex systems to simple, one-piece hand orthotics. Orthotic devices can be especially helpful in preventing an existing problem from getting worse. Orthotics can be used permanently, as in hardware to support bone, or temporarily in order to provide support to an unstable part of the body. Some orthotics can be bought in drugstores; others must to be custom-made for the individual patient.

100 licenses, IDs issued after immigrant policy
DES MOINES (AP) — Within a week of Iowa officials declaring in January that driver's licenses would be issued to young illegal immigrants granted temporary residency, about 100 new licenses and identification cards had been issued, state Department of Transportation officials said.
Paul Maciel was among those who lined up after state officials reversed course on Jan. 23 and said they would issue licenses to those who qualify for President Barack Obama's deferred action program, announced last June.
"It felt awesome. I would say if you have nothing to hide and if you want to feel a little bit lighter and not so burdened by the weight of being undocumented go ahead and do it," said Maciel, 26, who lives in Des Moines. "It's given me wings."
