President Obama gets the chance to re-set the political landscape tomorrow night with his State of the Union Address. Will it be memorable? Or just another speech?
What should we expect? The White House says a main focus will be jobs and the economy, which is something Democrats in the Congress are more than ready to emphasize as well.
"In part because of the economic plan that my recovery board helped shape, the economy is now growing again," Mr. Obama said during a speech in Schenectady, New York on Friday, which the White House said could be seen as a preview of tomorrow night's remarks.
"Over the last year, businesses have added more than a million jobs. The pace of hiring and growth is picking up, and that's encouraging news," the President added.
"But at the same time, while businesses are adding jobs, millions of people are still out there looking for work."
And there's the rub, right now. The economy is growing at a moderate pace, but not close enough to erase the job losses of the last several years.
There has been talk that the White House will include in Tuesday's speech a call for new spending on roads and bridges; but the idea of a $50 billion infrastructure plan late last year dropped like a lead balloon in the Congress, as even Democrats ran away from the idea before and after the elections.
This week's speech is a reminder about an important rule of American politics - the guy in the White House has a pretty powerful voice.
Along with a focus on the economy, expect a main theme to be a redux of his 2008 campaign pledge of bipartisanship, as there will be lots of pictures of lawmakers from each party pairing off with their State Dates on the House floor.
Now, as for the State of the Union Address, I really would dare you to come up with a quote that you remember from one of these speeches.
I'd almost dare your to remember one Obama quote from last year's speech.
You may remember Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) yelling "You lie!" - but that wasn't during a State of the Union.
You may remember Mr. Obama last year calling out the Supreme Court over its ruling in the Citizens United case, but I remember that more for Justice Samuel Alito mouthing "No" rather than for what the President said.
I remember Ronald Reagan dropping the huge Omnibus budget bill on the clerk's desk in the 1980's and vowing to veto another bill like that from the Congress, but I can't tell you the quote.
I remember Bill Clinton going on and on and on. getting bad media reviews, and then watching his poll numbers go up.
Still, even though it's hard to put your finger on a speech like this, it can set the tone for the year, especially now that we have a new dynamic in Washington, D.C., with divided power in the Congress.
The Bully Pulpit can never be underestimated. We'll see how well it's used this week.

It's hard to discuss the VARBusiness 2009 State of the Market survey without first addressing the gorilla in the room: the economy. The Web-based study fielded during November by the Institute for Partner Education & Development (IPED), analyzed responses from 350 North American solution providers weighing in on where they think the IT market is going in 2009. IPED is the research arm of Everything Channel, which also owns ChannelWeb. And the economy was top of mind, leading off our list of the 10 key takeaways.
VARs say global recession, weak consumer spending and the credit crisis all trouble them going into next year. But despite their concerns, solution providers aren't retreating or retrenching. Instead, SOM results indicate that VARs are identifying areas of opportunity and aggressively pursuing them. VARs listed the global recession, weak consumer spending and the credit crisis as their top three concerns. But waiting in the weeds are rising unemployment numbers -- the Federal Reserve late last month said the prospects for weaker economic activity will push up unemployment. The Fed projected that the national unemployment rate will rise to between 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent this year. The rate in October was 6.5 percent, and last year the rate averaged 4.6 percent. Next year, the Fed expects the jobless rate to climb to between 7.1 percent and 7.6 percent—also higher than its summer forecast.
But some solution providers see opportunities in the unemployment numbers, especially if customers trim ranks in their in-house IT support staffs.
"We are seeing the services part of our business pick up," said Don Richie, CEO of Sequel Data Systems, an Austin, Texas-based solution provider. "The bottom line is that companies that have to cut back on their infrastructure are coming to us and asking if we can provide a person two days per week to manage their data center, and pay us $200 per hour vs. paying someone's salary."

12 new members: Victoria Cacchione, Margot Cardamone, Emily Lawrence, Lucy McInerney, Chloe Miller, Will Morisseau, Katy Purington, Solai Sanchez, Andy Shoemaker, Chuck Steel, Nick Stender, and Sarah Winner were initiated recently into Dickinson's chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the Classics honor society http://www.etasigmaphi.com.
The ceremony took place in Memorial Hall. Current members and department faculty joined the new initiates for cake after the ceremony.
The purposes of the Society, in the words of the Constitution, are "to develop and promote interest in classical study among the students of colleges and universities; to promote closer fraternal relationships among students who are interested in classical study, including inter-campus relationships; to engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest in classical study, and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome."
Dickinson's chapter is an active one, with upwards of 40 members, led this year by senior classics majors Jessie Graul, Daniella Haigler, Alice Ettling, and juniors James Martin and Suri Smith.

The problem is that zeroing blocks is work, and besides SSDs (and RAIDs) shouldn't be written except when really needed.
Why not just split the range fallocated and just rewrite the affected blocks, not the whole range?
Allocating uninitialized file blocks

Anyways, I believe TRIM just tells them that the blocks are no longer being used. It's not a order to zero out the blocks. Without trim the SSD doesn't know if the file system still expects them to be used or not.

If you were to take apart the drive and bypass the controller to read the flash chips directly, you would have a chance at recovering the data.
Posted Apr 20, 2012 21:33 UTC (Fri) by Cyberax (✭ supporter ✭, #52523) [Link]
Its presence is indicated by the 'Deterministic read data after TRIM' capability (you can check it using "hdparm -I"). So it's not like you need to blindly trust your SDD.
>Anyways, I believe TRIM just tells them that the blocks are no longer being used. It's not a order to zero out the blocks.
With deterministic zeros one can also use it as a way to quickly erase blocks.
Besides, overwriting something on SDD in most cases would NOT actually overwrite it in the real hardware flash due to load balancing and remapping.

Posted Apr 20, 2012 21:45 UTC (Fri) by Cyberax (✭ supporter ✭, #52523) [Link]
However, TRIM command can't be queued. So it probably makes no sense to use it for large allocations and/or to keep a pool of recently-trimmed pages for immediate small allocations.
Posted Apr 20, 2012 21:51 UTC (Fri) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
The SSD does keep a pool of unused pages for new allocations. What trim does is it lets the SSD know that you no longer care about the data on that block, and so it can add the block back to that pool.
If the SSD runs out of this pool, writing slows drastically as it must first erase a block before it can write anything. If you are expecting to do a LOT of writing to a SSD, you may want to make sure that you partition it to something less than the advertised size so that that extra space will remain in the pool (this works as long as that extra space has never been written to, or is explicitly relased via a TRIM command)

I've been to most hotels in Southampton area and this is the one that I mostly prefer. Staff is always cordial, room is well cleaned, nice size and now... they've improved the service providing WiFi internet (it was only wired before). Cons: Restaurant is good but breakfast is a total rip-off. Also room service menu hasn't changed for a year... But my worst complain is for this stay, as I paid an additional for an executive room, as the room rates were not too bad on the day. When I got to the hotel they gave a room that looked like exactly the same as the others... no difference on size, appearance, etc nothing. only more expensive... بواسطة نزيل Hotels.com في 2013/11/15

I've been on a lot of dates lately. And I can't help but notice that every guy I go out with asks me the same question on our first date. He wants to know what my type of guy is.
I'm not going to lie here. I think that this is a really dumb question to ask a girl, especially on a first date. Is there really not anything more interesting to talk about? I mean, what exactly is the point of even asking this question in the first place? News flash boys: Every girl on the planet is going to answer this question in the same way. We all want someone who is smart, funny, and attractive. That's our checklist; that's our type. I mean any girl who says that she doesn't want any of these things is lying. Or she's just weird. Because this would mean that she wants someone who is short, boring, and dumb. And no girl in her right mind would ever openly admit that to a guy, especially on a first date when she's trying to impress him.
Let's face it. These days, I'd be happy to just find a guy who I actually like to hang out with and spend time with. At this point in my life I've dated every type of guy there is. I have dated the ugly, I've dated the old, the young, the Pirates in the Caribbean, the Paramedics, the Lawyers, the Super-Jews, the married ones, the guys with the nice apartments and the guys who still live with their parents. I have dated the meat-eaters, the vegans, and the kosher ones. I have dated the dog lovers, cat lovers, and even squirrel lovers. I have dated the tattooed and the pierced, the cyclists and the yoga enthusiasts. I think it's pretty safe to say that Dean doesn't exactly discriminate when it comes to dating men. I have no "type".
That being said, there are of course, some nice-to-have traits that I wouldn't object to my boyfriend having….I like to refer to these traits as the "boyfriend bonuses".
Dean's Boyfriend Nice to Have List
- A man with a lisp. What can I say? I am a sucker for a man with a lisp or someone with a slight speech impediment. Typically, when I hear a man speak with a lisp, I find myself immediately wondering if he is going to be my next boyfriend.
- A man with impressive laundry facilities. How great would it be to find a guy who has his very own washing machine and a dryer? He'd score even more bonus points if he has a front-loader machine (with the steam option).
- An accent. I like English and Australian accents best but any kind of accent will do, really. Special bonus points for any man who has an accent and a lisp.
- A man who can't sing. I love men who are tone-deaf. Yup. It's true. I know this is an odd one but there's something particularly funny to me about a boy who cannot sing but still tries to anyway. Girls always say that they want boyfriends or husbands who make them laugh. To me, there is nothing more funny (or more sexy) than a tone-deaf man who loves to sing out loud.
- A man in a uniform. This can range from doctor's scrubs to a Paramedic uniform. (Note: this does not include the white shirt/white pant uniform that waiters at the Cheesecake Factory are required to wear. I find this look to be very unappealing.) I also don't fancy the brown MUNI bus driver uniform. But I do, however, very much like the brown UPS uniform.
- A non-married man. At this point in my life, I'd prefer my boyfriend not to married to someone else while he's dating me. What can I say? The married men seem to dig me. The problem with this is that they also seem to dig their wives at the same time. Dean is selfish in this regard. I don't want to have to share my boyfriend.
So, to the next guy out there who asks me on our first date what my type of guy is: My answer is, I am looking for an unmarried, tone-deaf Englishman with a lisp who dresses in a crisp, freshly laundered UPS uniform.
And to my readers out there, if any of you happen to know of a guy who fits this bill, please send him my way. Dean is anxiously standing by.

The American Civil Liberties Union called on the Justice Department on Thursday to investigate the efforts by the New York City Police Department to conduct surveillance in Muslim communities.
In a letter signed by 125 state and national organizations, the ACLU and the other groups said the Justice Department's civil rights division to open a probe into the "unlawful religious profiling and suspicionless surveillance of Muslims in New York City and beyond."
"Putting a class of Americans under surveillance based on their religion is a clear violation of our Constitution's guarantees of equality and religious freedom," said Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project. "The NYPD's surveillance program has stigmatized Muslims as suspect and had deeply negative effects on their free speech, association and religious practice."
Citing NYPD documents and an investigative series of articles on the NYPD's secret intelligence operations by the Associated Press, the ACLU said that the New York police have sent paid infiltrators into mosques, student associations and other locations to take photos, write down license-plate numbers and keep notes on people because they are Muslim.
The ACLU also said NYPD officers and informants have "built a program dedicated to suspicionless blanket surveillance of Muslims in the greater New York City area," routinely monitoring restaurants, bookstores and mosques.
Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said she could not comment on the letter because she had not seen it yet. A police spokesman said the department could not provide an immediate comment.
The ACLU letter was signed by a wide array of religious, racial justice, civil rights and community based organizations, including the NAACP, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and the National Network for Arab American Communities.
"In America, law enforcement should never turn anyone's First Amendment-protected religious beliefs into cause for suspicion, and yet evidence shows that's exactly what the New York Police Department is doing to Muslim New Yorkers," said the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, president of the Interfaith Alliance and a pastor at the Baptist Northminster Church in Monroe, La.
"The fact that people of faith might have to fear going to their houses of worship or freely practicing their religion is about as un-American as un-American gets," Gaddy said.

Graduation ceremony
2011-06-06We had our graduation ceremony on 27th May, Thursday, a simple and cozy ceremony.
It began with some finger food and beverage at O building (for our department only) while a student band was playing at the small stage in the center of the hall. The dean of our department gave a speech both in Swedish and English and announced the best student and best teacher of the year (the award usually goes to the bachelor students) before the crowd was dismissed to different rooms according to which programme they went to.
Programme leaders congratulated and bestowed us the degree certificates. Oh, wait a minute, those were actually applications for the degree certificates. In Sweden, you need to apply for your degree certificate before you can get it.
Here is me with the application. Forgot to mention the rose. Everyone got a rose or even a hug from the programme leader.
We also received the course certificate from SHUSI ( a university we had an exchange programme with).
Everyone seemed happy for getting the rose perhaps. That was not the end and no time for sentimentality. We had to prepare for the final seminar on the following Monday.

Mirror Mirror on the car ... but not for long because Ben Affleck just knocked it off.
Ben may have been daydreaming about his "thank you" speech at the Oscars, because the distracted driver/star/director of "Argo" side-swiped a parked Honda that was minding its own business -- decapitating its side mirror.
But Ben did the right thing, leaving a note that even had a friendly salutation: "Hi, knocked off your mirror. VERY Sorry. Will cover everything. Ben."
He also left his phone number -- which is more valuable than the cost of a mirror.
See no problem doing the right thing.
See Lohan, he didn't blame the parked car or his cars brakes failed or anyone else.
Yes, he did do the right thing. Good for Ben. And the phone number? Probably his agent's or personal assistant's. That's who will take care of everything!
Doe it really surprise you that a guy, who came from a blue-collar community wold do the right thing? He and his wife seem downright normal, and down-to-earth.
Good thing Lindsey Lohan didn't hit it. She would have taken off blaming bad brakes, when the parked car moved out in front of her all the time she was never driving. Kudos to Mr. Affleck for stopping and leaving a note.
That will cost him $147.00 because I just did the same thing to my truck. Of course, a celebrity might have to pay more.
TMZ did Ben let you open the note so you could take a picture of it or was this an undercover operation?!

Thomas Newcomen When Thomas Newcomen began his first experiments in 1705, many people advised him to do otherwise. He was a simple smith and iron trader. Newcomen consistently thought about Papin's idea of an engine with a free piston. Although many people were dubious and considered it to be impossible to design a piston with a sufficient sealing, he began his work and in 1712 he presented his first engine, which immediately began its work in a mine .
An important advantage of Newcomen's engine compared to Savery's engine is that its power did not depend on the steam pressure but on the quantity of the cylinder. Because of this it was called low pressure steam engine. Althought the engine needed an enormous amount of coal to work there were some attemps to improve the atmospheric engine. One of the first improvements was the invention of the injection condensation. In this case, the cooling water did not flow over the cylinder, but it was injected directly into the cylinder. The effect was a much faster condensation. Another improvement was the introduction of an automatic control. However, the efficiency was still very low. Much coal was used for just poor power.
John Smeaton John Smeaton was one of the best engineers of his time. He began to optimize Newcomen's engine. He studied, first of all, every detail of the engine and made some experiments with this. Smeaton came to the conclusion that the engine lost much energy because of bad cylinders with unsufficient sealing. In addition, the measures of the parts did not match with each other, e.g. the boiler was often too small compared with the cylinder to produce enough steam. He could design engines that worked very well because of better sealings and better measures of the parts. Quellen: Conrad Matschoss - Die Entwicklung der Dampfmaschine Robert H.

WASHINGTON - Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen caught flak in the blogosphere this week for his mistakenly public tweets of endearment to a Texas college student half his age as the president's State of the Union address was ending Tuesday night.
Though Cohen, 63 and a bachelor, didn't own up at first to who she was when the tweets became public, he said Thursday night she is a daughter he didn't know he had until three years ago.
The 24-year-old Texas college student and swimsuit model is Victoria Elizabeth Brink, who used her Twitter account to write that she was watching Cohen on television in the House of Representatives chamber. The two exchanged tweets during and after the State of the Union address.
Brink, a student at Texas State University, is also the daughter of a Texas criminal defense lawyer, Cynthia White Sinatra, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2006 against Libertarian Ron Paul, who was a candidate for president last year.
Cohen declined to describe the affair with Sinatra, saying only, "her mother and I have been friends for a long time." There had been a hiatus, "but we renewed our friendship when I found out she was the mother of my child."
According to her law firm web page, Sinatra, 60, is a criminal defense lawyer who was married to Frank Sinatra, Jr., the son of the famous "Old Blue Eyes." She has represented criminal defendants before the International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, including Dragan Jokic, a Bosnia Serb accused of genocide, murder and torture in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
After the tweets became public, Cohen spokesman Michael Pagan said Wednesday they were just innocent banter with a family friend.
"I asked him this morning what was the scoop and he was like 'well, she's the daughter of a longtime friend and I consider her like family,' " Pagan said Wednesday.
It wasn't until Thursday night that Cohen acknowledged she was his daughter.
Cohen's tweets were captured by the congressional watchdog group Sunlight Foundation's "Politiwoops" service.
He responded to a tweet from Brink tweet at 10:26 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday, saying "pleased u r watching. ilu." Ilu is Twitter talk for "I love you."
That message was deleted after three minutes, when Cohen realized he had not sent a private tweet but one the world could see, according to his chief of staff, Marilyn Dillihay.
Brink's messages were not captured, said the Sunlight Foundation's Liz Bartolomeo.
At 7:40 a.m. Wednesday, Cohen tweeted Brink again: "nice to know you were watchin SOTU (state of the union). Happy Valentines beautiful girl. ilu." That was deleted after 15 minutes.
Since the story broke, the blogosphere has been full of commentary on what some suspected was another Twitter scandal like the one that brought down New York Democrat Anthony Weiner in 2011. Some of the more offensive commentary suggested Cohen had been caught having an affair with a young swimsuit model.
Cohen said the "salacious bloggers" and others in the news media "that immediately assumed that it was something different have subjected her and me and others to a lot of pain."
He said it was painful that Brink was dragged into the controversy.
"It's put us through a very difficult couple of days. And she's a beautiful, young 24-year-old girl who has not been put through the grist of gossip and innuendo and influence, and it was painful for me to witness it and to know that it was because she had reached out to me to express her joy at seeing me at the State of the Union," he said.
Cohen chief of staff Marilyn Dillihay had declined to identify the family friend, saying she was not inclined to invade the privacy of others. "She is the daughter of a family friend. There's nothing more to this than that. There is not a romantic relationship," Dillihay said. "As far as why it was on a public forum, he didn't intend for it to be. He thought it was a private tweet which is why he took it down."
Tennessee Republicans attempted to make hay out of the situation when the tweets surfaced. Under the headline, "The Weiner of the South," the Tennessee Republican Party's executive director Brent Leatherwood put out a statement Wednesday evening under the headline alluding to the 2011 tweeting scandal that led Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat, to resign.
"You would think that after Rep. Weiner was forced to resign due to his inappropriate behavior and use of his official Congressional Twitter account, that members of Congress would hold themselves to a higher standard of conduct," Leatherwood's statement said.
Thursday night, Cohen explained the truth behind the tweets, and publicly acknowledged to a Scripps reporter that he is Brink's father.
He said Brinks had known for four years that she was Cohen's daughter. Cohen said he has known he was her father for three years. Cohen implied that it was only after Brink told the man whom she had regarded as her father that he, in fact, was not that the congressman

Japanese Advanced Automotive Technology
Eldo Premier Boosts Productivity, Preserves Accuracy
A world-leading, Japanese supplier of advanced automotive technology, systems, and components needed an analog mixed signal simulator that provided full, transistor-level SPICE accuracy at faster simulation speeds than what they were using at the time. Because Eldo® Classic was their golden reference SPICE simulator, they wanted to evaluate Eldo Premier to verify the speedup factor it could obtain for their big simulations.Performance: up to 12X speedup over Eldo Classic with same accuracy
Eldo Premier
product overview: Mentor's new Faster-SPICE product, addresses the primary concerns of analog and mixed-signal designers, providing increased performance and capacity, especially for very large circuits, without sacrificing accuracy.
The Problem:
Need for an analog mixed signal simulator that provided full, transistor-level SPICE accuracy at faster simulation speeds than what they were using at the time.
The Solution: The primary benefits of Eldo Premier are ease-of-use, accuracy, and performance. With the same accuracy as Eldo Classic, the increase in performance allowed them to get simulation results in a much shorter time, boosting design productivity while ensuring design reliability.
The Results: Signal conversion circuits are one of their most widely used components, so they conducted benchmark evaluations on AD converter circuits with parasitic RC backannotations. By utilizing Eldo Premier's powerful multithreading simulation capability, they gained a significant performance increase of 12X compared to their original reference, without a loss in accuracy.

More than twenty years ago, Jonathan Hoefler made it his mission to promote desktop publishing (and shush its critics) by providing designers with a new generation of fonts: attractive and useful designs which set a new standard in quality and dependability, and are today known as the H&FJ library. Today, as webfonts are buoyed by a wave of early-adopter enthusiasm, they're marred by a similar unevenness in quality, and it's not just a matter of browsers and rasterizers, or the eternal shortage of good fonts and preponderance of bad ones. There are compelling questions about what it means to be fitted to the technology, how foundries can offer designers an expressive medium (and readers a rich one), and what it means for typography to be visually, mechanically, and culturally appropriate to the web. Join Jonathan Hoefler on an exploration of this side of webfonts, and a discussion of where the needs of designers meet the needs of readers. You'll get a glimpse of what H&FJ has in store, and see why they believe that webfonts promise so much more than just 'fonts on the web.'

The Big Web Show #46: Richard Rutter - 5by5
Dan Benjamin and Jeffrey Zeldman are joined by Richard Rutter, co-founder of Fontdeck and Clearleft, to discuss typography on the web and more.
Where Web Typography Goes To Next
The future of web typography is as uncertain as any other aspect of the medium, but one thing is for sure: it's got momentum. At no other time has typography been taken so seriously by so many involved in the web, and that means there's an awful lot of change and innovation to keep up with if you want to stay on the cutting edge of online type. In as much depth as 60 minutes will allow, this presentation will cover recent proposals and additions to CSS 3, from ligatures to hyphenation, synthesis to capitalisation, and much in between. It will cover the reasoning behind the new aspects of CSS 3, and reintroduce older properties which only now are becoming implemented and useful (and thus browser support will not be ignored either). No session on web typography would be complete without discussion of webfonts. There is still much learn in this field, both in what CSS can provide, and the technical implementation within browsers. But web typography is not just about CSS, or even good type setting. The bit that touches us most closely is the medium through which most of us read: text rendering and screens, and this presentation will discuss and demonstrate the cutting edge of both. Web typography is a hugely exciting part of web design, and the field that is moving most quickly. This presentation will give you everything you need to know to keep right on the spur of the serif, the apex of the ascender, and the edge of the curve.
Cure for the Common Font — A Web Designer's Introduction to Typeface Selection

Mandy Brown joins Jeffrey Zeldman and Dan Benjamin to discuss the value of support, the future of type on the web, font choice on reader platforms, what print publishers can learn from web publishers, why you've got to write, and why the future belongs to editors.

CSS and Fonts: Fluid Web Typography
For almost 15 years, Web designers have had a list of 10 "Core Web fonts" to choose from. Many ask, "Why can't I just download a font file from my Web server the same way I can an image?" Well, actually, you can. The verbiage for font linking is a little different than images, but the syntax for Webfont linking has been around for over 10 years as a part of the CSS standard. Web typography expert Jason Cranford Teague shows you how to apply the principles of fluid typography, to choose, find and use Webfonts and create your unique typographic voice. Come and find out why 2010 is going to be the year of Web typography.

MPN e-sign
If you have accepted a federal Direct student loan, federal parent PLUS Loan or a graduate PLUS Loan, and have not already signed a Master Promissory Note (MPN), you must electronically sign (e-sign) an MPN by accessing www.studentloans.gov. You will need your four-digit FAFSA PIN assigned by the US Department of Education. If you do not have a PIN, or need a duplicate PIN, you may request one via www.pin.ed.gov. This electronic MPN process is the fastest and most efficient method of meeting the MPN signature requirement. If you do not have web access, please contact your UNCW financial aid counselor to request a paper MPN.
Master Promissory Notes only need to be signed once. Students must sign an MPN for their student loans, which will be valid for all Direct student loans borrowed for a period of 10 years. Parents must sign a PLUS MPN which will be valid for one student for all Direct PLUS loans for a period of 10 years, unless credit is denied at any point.

The pianist Orli Shaham got an early start in her music career. She began playing piano at age four and got her first music scholarship when she was five. Just a couple years later, she began her studies at The Juilliard School. That was the beginning of a flood of prestigious performances and awards, launching her international career. Orli has performed with many of the world's great orchestras, and she has been lauded for her recitals at Carnegie Hall, 92nd Street Y and Lincoln Center, as well as a slew of other renowned concert halls across the country and around the globe.
Orli is mom to kindergartner twins and two college-age stepsons. She lives in New York and St. Louis with her husband, conductor David Robertson. Her website is orlishaham.com.

-- marriage solve the nation's problems of violence and can also be the answer -- ending poverty according to the US Census Bureau being raised -- married.
Family reduces child's probability of living in a poor household by more than 80%.
She'll -- executive director of national marriage week USA and she joins us here -- -- slot for coming on thank -- 80% I mean there is no government program that comes -- -- close to that that is a remarkable number right and the Brookings Institution says if we had the marriage rates today that we had in 1970 there would be -- 25% drop in property Brookings being a right wing evangelical.
I don't know it's a liberal think tank and I think this is an area where the left and the right can come together that marriage is an effective anti poverty program.
And for example in 1970.
Almost 80% of all the adults in America we're married and now that's down to 52% so we have a huge loss in the practice of marriage is it just cause -- marriage here to encompass helping the household help the children or is there more to marriage -- that.
There's there's more to marriage that although.
We want to get sort out their huge benefits marriage does bring you more individual financial stability more financial stability for your your household and for the nation they're huge.
Cost attached to.
The decline of marriage.
But it's it's really about the children for the outcome of the child so children.
Performed much better in school have less trouble with the law less addiction less teen pregnancy if you really want to give your children the advantage.
Marriages the police to give them the advantage and we do we don't want this to be.
My campaign that makes anybody feel guilty -- whiners it really was to vilify any single -- so I'm now the only option -- -- in the best option for their circumstance we have people find more success and so national marriage week USA has in a few years already grown to where we -- a thousand events across the country this this year which.
Where marriage education events we'd like to see that become tens of thousands when we believe that if you we've had effective campaigns for anti smoking and recycling an exercise.
Why can't we have a campaign to promote the benefits of marriage.
And also get the word out that you.
There -- things you can do to have more success is be -- if if the country's political leaders bought into this you say the loss of marriage has led to a decline in the nation's.
Marital skills -- sent -- yes it's a loss of modeling actually I just.
A few weeks ago spoke with very privileged 23 year old young woman who says.
She and her friends think that they don't really know what a good marriage looks and feels like because they came from broken homes.
And I thought that was pretty remarkable but really the responsibility is also pop culture there aren't a lot of really great funny brand gazans it comes in stuff -- -- Obama you know we have the celebrities who -- -- unwed parenthood but they have millions of dollars and they don't realize.
That they -- modeling something for people who live paycheck to paycheck and that's not the best situation for them and partly because political correctness suggests that there are some that somehow wrong.
To endorse marriage is superior lifestyle well 41%.
Of all American babies today -- outside of wedlock and that.
We should all be concerned because it's affecting the next generation.
Whether they have modeling and they're gonna have skills to have healthy marriages and then pass them on but it it it disadvantages children are.
Messages that we want to help people break the cycle of poverty.
The -- if you if you graduate from high school work full time and postpone marriage and childbearing until after the -- when he -- you have only 2% chance of being in poverty.
If you don't do those three things 277%.
Chance of being a poverty.
So this -- an effort toward compassion helping people break the cycle of poverty.
Give -- -- to their children.
And we want to get the word out that we have resources for how to.
Help people is nearing crisis in their marriage they should.
Realize that people do overcome these -- there are stories of healing and reconciliation.
And it's so worth it it's so worth the effort to -- point and it's national marriage week USA people go there and find out more information yes she'll never thanks so much for me thinking that she was --

I'm couple weeks ago for the NFL draft Hurd told the draft and a big business decision to be made here long term consequences do you pick -- -- -- number one or Robert Griffin.
Our next guest knows a thing or two about quarterbacks from professional football various he's in the whole payment quarterback Warren men wide.
-- -- -- -- You know you are -- you go wrong with either world these guys.
The -- close as far as.
The way they've been compared to each other did they definitely have a different dynamic in the way they play the game especially -- G three because of -- speed and the dynamic of that.
But they're both very solid -- they both can do everything you want your quarterback to be able to do they both.
Throw the baldor will the lot accuracy can't have.
How would take Andrew look with the first pick -- -- he's the guy that is by the most pro already.
To start day one of next football season because it comes -- pros sell off princely doesn't have a lot of changeover doing -- -- work in this fundamentals and things like that but again with RG three you can't go wrong with -- it's going to be a very dynamic players -- Cults have gone through the cycle -- the business decision because you think about back in 1998 when the colts.
To -- many -- had a real debate that should take manic or you should you take Ryan -- right.
And if they took Ryan leaf who were off didn't work out let's put it that way that would be -- did -- did you know they lost that would have lost a lot of money.
That they made have demanding as a quarterback and do his -- that it.
Well I have a lot more is put into.
With the character of a player today -- probably was 1415 years ago and that's something that you know filled in all the scouting people really looking into the background of the -- his family background the things that he's done in his life.
Those things cannot transfer our -- what type of player that guy's gonna be off the fuel was relevant samples of some of the things that got rightly from the in the trouble.
Everybody had no question about his athletic ability think they can measure that now.
I really do I really look you look at RG three you look at it Andrew look their family Bagram.
I'll overlook resort Andrew's dad looked teammate -- -- -- a very solid got.
-- you look at the the the Griffin family their military family come from a very strong backgrounds of both of these guys.
Come up from from a good stock so I think they're gonna will be very solid citizens as what was great football.
And what about the personality and because that goes to what you're talking about the qualitative -- in the background the -- -- in the market ability.
Of these two men were not critical is that it.
It's very critical expressed -- where and when marketers are looking at these guys is as.
And franchise faces.
You've got big business out there the wants to maybe put these guys spokespeople -- these guys are both excellent students -- than at the top of their class to both graduated.
They're both great speakers so there eloquent as far as how they present themselves so they have everything that it takes to go along would be out of leadership position -- quarterback to be very marketable.
You're right about and they really are both emerge really well spoke about a way messiness big breaking sports story at the bottom of the screen at the owner of the -- Tom Benson apparently -- to Forbes is gonna buy up.
The the hornets of New Orleans 330 plus million dollars which is kind of interest think you can either comment on that the other thing I was thinking with this whole discussion we're having is your own personal story.
Somebody missed something on you know you're all Famer but yet to go to Canada to -- go straight to the NFL have immediate success -- they didn't.
Make sure you right do you think it would have been different now if you're coming out of school.
No question about -- -- the way the league looks at it now there's there's about the stereo -- that there was back in those days about African American quarterbacks because we've got so much success of the position.
Now we've come over gotten -- all those moves and now they don't care what color your -- can help a franchise win.
They're gonna they're gonna pick your -- look at.
Cam Newton last year the number one overall Paper or Michael Vick.
The number one overall pick what he came out he really doesn't matter if you can play the game and play at a high level -- -- -- in the draft.
Working with candidate and what is the and of course varies from player to player was the biggest missing piece.
For quarterback coming out of college going in the -- with such high expectations.
Just experienced person -- you just haven't been in the professional game everybody at the personal level is good so when you come out of college or might be two or three goes on a college team that are -- -- -- -- in the NFL -- in the when you get to the -- everybody's -- so you've got guys and bitterly ten years or whatever a lot of experience leaders have to gain that experience as a young player.
And a lot of times -- -- Cam Newton or whatever rules the top of the draft.
Doesn't go to a very good football team that's whether draft to decide they are so they have to come a bill with that team and -- growing pains and that's what happens to a lot of young quarterback.
Well it's good thank you -- it's -- that we've gotten better measuring just about everything it's also good -- proposals stereotypes that -- you went up.
I'm so glad they've done that in -- All the rules because of the plan right now orbiter for thank you -- or it is great to see you talk -- -- and that's a great Segway engineers.

Ummm, if you tun your head, how are you supposed to see what's on the screen? And if they do it like the demo vid, the only way it would be useful is if you sat close. Sit far away, and you either have to move too far to get it to track properly, or it will move the screen too far with a small movement from you. Neat idea, but flawed.
Yeah I thought the same thing about turning your head to far and not seeing the screen lol, but surly they thought about that so it shouldn't be a problem. As for siting to close, that was still a Demo and hopefully then can get it so you can be further back if you like. I thought it was close so you can see it better on the video. PSeye should have a zoom or some sort of calibration feature set in it to detect you from farther away.
damn wile e you are bashing everything sony is working on that is cool. the technology has to start somewhere!
burn! anyone up for game sharing? i got some if this is allowed haha Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Resident evil psx Metal gear solid psx Jet Moto 3 psx (old fuckin school!) Pain Stardust HD High velocity bowling pixeljunk racers Rag Doll Kung Fu Jeopardy and a couple others if this isn't allowed delete it and i'll pretend it never happened
She thinks I play to many games already and "You just bought a Wii last year". I play maybe twice a week anymore. PC or Wii. I swear I think she wants me dead. My day goes like this. 1. Wake up. 2. Get kids ready for school (Two girls) within one hour. 3. Drive an hour and a half to work. 4. Work 9 to 10 hours. 5. Drive an hour and a half home. 6. Eat dinner. 7. Bath the kids. 8. Read kids a story. 9. Go to sleep. 10. Repeat. I also dont get weekends off. My wife only has Sunday off so I babysit all day on Saturdays. Another year or so of this and Ill have a mental break down.
His testicles would be swinging from the lampost down the street after his wife's fit of rage perhaps? Got Arkham Asylum as a birthday present from my dad today.
Testicles and birthday presents yum! haha sorry i couldn't help myself. My girlfriend or faience whatever you wanna call it. Use to bitch at me for playing my games on my 46 inch tv so the solution was buy a smaller tv for the room and tell her to relax and lay down and use it.
Tell her it's a Blu Ray and Network Media player. It has nothing to do with games at all. I just don't think anything that makes me move around to play a game is cool. If I did, I'd play Wii a hell of a lot more.
Who do you think you're talking to? I'm from your generation. I used to beg my dad for game systems all the time with ever excuse I could think of. You know the whole "Hand/eye coordination" bit? Shes smart and not likely to give into guilt. I even tried to tell her about how she could look at pictures of the kids on the big tv with it. However she knew about the USB port on the side of the tv! I think I'm screwed and not in a good way.
Its not that hard to do haha, the hardest part is hoping you don't get someone who thoroughly inspects the unit to see if anything has been tampered with
my friend did that with a xbox i switched out the machines, he took everything besides the console (controller,a/v cables,hard drive)
I was lucky because a friend had recently purchased an 80GB from a local store so I borrowed his receipt
