White House pushes for online privacy bill of rights
The White House is urging Congress to enact a new "privacy bill of rights" that would provide clearer guidelines to online users and businesses about the collecting of personal information over the Internet.
Speaking in Washington yesterday at a special hearing devoted to online consumer privacy, Assistant Commerce Secretary Lawrence Strickling acknowledged that the ability to store information about customers helps make online companies more efficient. But he said that consumers are growing increasingly uneasy about how their personal information is being collected and used.
With the lengthy privacy policies now offered by Web sites proving confusing and … Read more

In Canada, cyberstalking is defined as a pattern of criminal harassment via electronic networks which creates a reasonable fear for life and safety.
Canadian statistics on cyberstalking victimization are rarely available to the public. This crowdmap project seeks to provide cyberstalking victims with a voice, by allowing them to anonymously raise their hand to show they have, or are, being stalked online by someone who makes them fear for their life.
A crowdmap is geographical database of anonymous reports from the public, collected by voluntary participation, a tactic known as crowdsourcing.
Reports can be filed through there secure web site, via e-mail, and through apps available for iPhone and Android smartphones. The anonymous data collected will be screened for privacy reasons, and the resultant data made publicly available via the site's mapping and data filtering system.

These two cases vividly illustrate the current problems of the modern day agunah (a woman chained to an unwanted marriage), because halacha (Jewish law) gives the husband the sole, unfettered power of divorce. While under Ashkenazic tradition a woman can withhold her "consent" to such a divorce, the remedies available to the victim of a recalcitrant husband or wife differ substantially.

Solution providers can reduce hardware and OS repair times by taking advantage of the remote management tools they already have. Here, Townsend, the director of MSP and SMB marketing for Intel Corp., offers some tips on remote management.—Jennifer Bosavage
The new MSP and IT consultant equation is getting harder to solve: One of you, plus more of everything else, has a tendency to equal chaos. From malware attacks to data disasters, from blue screens of death to cloud computing, your customers need your help more and more. That's supposed to be a good thing for your business, right?
Well, yes, if you can manage things without a truck roll or hours and hours of troubleshooting – especially because CompTIA's 2011 "Trends in Managed Services" study shows that 31 percent of SMBs surveyed pay their managed services provider or IT consultants a flat quarterly fee—no matter how much service they use—or don't use.
Michael Nelson, president of TLC Tech, a managed service provider in the Sacramento, Calif. area says, "All potential customers already use technology as a tool in their business," he explains. "Our role is to simplify, simplify, simplify—make our customers' technology so simple that they can forget it and focus on their business."
The company achieves this by doing more monitoring, remediation, and repair remotely. This approach to simplification led TLC Tech to adopt hardware-based remote management tools for their PCs. "Doing more maintenance remotely means we can stay out of the customers' way. Doing more repairs remotely means a customer with a problem is back up to speed faster—often much faster."
Of course, this also means that the TLC Tech's technicians are much more productive. "If a machine is blue-screened or hung, we can manipulate the BIOS, boot to a remote ISO image, and even reload an OS if needed—all remotely," explains Nelson. "These capabilities really extend our reach. It means we don't have to roll a truck or bring the machine into our facility to work on it. The amount of time saved is a big deal," Nelson concludes.
Contrary to what you may believe, taming the forces of chaos doesn't require a large outlay of cash. You can reduce hardware and OS repair times by taking advantage of the remote management tools you already have. Here are a few tips that you might consider for doing more remotely:
1. Take advantage of setup and configuration software.
Imagine how much more quickly deploying new systems would go if you could automatically discover, setup and configure, and maintain a secure connection to every managed device on your network. If just one of your customers refreshes their PCs, this simple step could save you hundreds of hours.
Next: Two more tips when implementing remote management solutions.

Resilient design: the foundation of climate adaption
For those working in the field of sustainability, we understand inherently that our future is being challenged daily by climate change and environmental degradation. Every new broken temperature record, raging forest fire, or violent storm mock our efforts to mitigate the severe effects of our rapidly changing world. As cities, states, and organizations shift their focus from various mitigation efforts to resiliency efforts, many activists have become even more disheartened, interpreting this as an official loss for the climate change movement.
Alex Wilson, one of the most respected leaders in the field of climate resilience, says quite the opposite. According to this long-time green building activist, founder, and entrepreneur, resilience and mitigation go hand in hand. In other words, if we prepare our built environment to withstand uncertain climate futures, we will create an inherently sustainable system that requires drastically fewer resources.
In the following interview with Wilson, we take an inside look at his history, current projects, and future plans to make this world more resilient – and thus more sustainable.
Alex Wilson is the founder of the Resilient Design Institute in Brattleboro, Vermont, a nonprofit organization committed to advancing practical solutions that can be employed by communities, businesses, and individuals to adapt and thrive amid the accelerating social, ecological, and climatological change being experienced today. He is also the founder of BuildingGreen, Inc. in Brattleboro and executive editor of Environmental Building News. To keep up with his latest articles and musings, you can sign up for his Twitter feed.
Zach Sharpe: Tell us a little bit about your history: What got you started on climate change work? What triggered your focus on climate resilience?
Alex Wilson: There have been two significant motivations for my focus on resilience. First, following Hurricane Katrina I got involved in efforts to guide the reconstruction that was going to be happening — to make it more sustainable. Besides the flooding, we were seeing a huge area that was without power for a long time. We observed that older homes that were built to be responsive to the Gulf Coast climate, with wrap-around porches that shaded windows and floor plans that facilitated natural ventilation, maintained generally livable conditions, while newer homes, built since the advent of air conditioning, were not livable without power; they got too hot. We realized that Katrina wouldn't be the last storm causing widespread power outages, and we thought it would make sense for new and renovated houses to maintain livable conditions in the event of extended loss of power. This formed the basis of what I was originally calling "passive survivability," but am referring to as "resilient design." I've continued to focus on this issue.
The other driver for me has been a recognition that we just aren't making rapid enough progress in slowing global climate change. Convincing people to change the way we build to dramatically reduce fossil fuel consumption or change the way we design communities to reduce automobile dependence because "it's the right thing to do" isn't working. We need another motivation, and I believe resilience can be that motivation. I believe that we can get people to dramatically reduce their energy consumption of their homes because they want to keep their family safe in the event of an extended power outage or interruption in heating fuel. If we can do that, the synergistic benefit is mitigating climate change. Buildings that keep us safe are buildings that also use very little energy during normal operation.
ZS: The future of our climate is foreboding, especially as it relates to extreme weather events and abnormal weather patterns. As we enter an age with an unstable climate, what are the biggest vulnerabilities within our current system?
Wilson: There are lots of points of vulnerabilities that have their origin in climate change. More intense storms and flooding will cause more frequent and longer-lasting power outages. Drought will cause major changes in food production and availability in some parts of the country — pointing to the need in New England, for example, to become more food self-sufficient. Severe prolonged drought can also result in power outages, since 89% of U.S. power generation is with thermo-electric power plants, the vast majority of which require water to condense the steam used in steam turbines. If water levels in lakes and rivers drop too low, those power plants have to be shut down. Most people don't realize how dependent our power system is on water.
It's worth noting that we also face vulnerabilities that are unrelated to climate change. The tsunami that devastated parts of Japan was seismic in origin. Terrorists could target our energy infrastructure — the 3,400 power plants in the U.S., the 160,000 miles of high-voltage power distribution lines, and the 3.4 million miles of oil and gas pipelines are all points of vulnerability. Political upheaval in the Middle East could cause shortages of transportation or heating fuel. There is even concern in some circles about "coronal discharges" from the sun that could take out transformers. A report from the National Research Council in 2008 said that if a coronal discharge event as strong as one that occurred in 1859 were to happen today it could cause power outages in some places lasting many months or even years.
ZS: Nearly two months before Hurricane Sandy, you wrote an article about New York City's (lack of) resilience. What other places – particularly cities – are the most unprepared for extreme weather?
Wilson: I believe that all low-lying coastal areas are vulnerable, especially as sea level rises and more intense storms systems — fueled by warmer ocean and Gulf of Mexico temperatures — cause storm surges. Much of the western U.S. is also highly vulnerable to drought, which I believe will prove an even greater challenge than coastal flooding in the coming decades. I cringe to think about cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Denver if a series of winters with no snow pack in the mountains coincides with record summer temperatures and drought.
I learned a lot from this interview, and especially appreciated the specific ideas about which areas offer the biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs. Hopefully more towns (especially coastal) will establish Building Resilience Task Force Committees to study the best plan for their community. Sounds like greater resilience in buildings not only creates a bigger safety net, but also helps to reduce the degree of climate change to begin with! I'm glad to know about the article that Alex Wilson's wrote about NY City's lack of resilience months before Hurricane Sandy!
I found this to be a very interesting article. The point about those in New Orleans with old houses that included porches and overhangs having the best survivability when the power was out was very enlightening.
With some foresight in combining passive design elements with current technologies we can make significant strides in maximizing the use of our resources, both in terms of energy optimization and efficiencies of economy.
Then by sharing these designs with the rest of the world we will make an impact on future energy use and turn the looming crisis into something positive for generations to come.
I have come to the conclusion that we all have a little blame global warming and its consequences and guilt even more politicians who do not slow down.

For Melinda Johnson, an associate in science degree from Ashland Community and Technical College (ACTC) began a journey into higher education she believed was unobtainable.
Growing up in South Point, Ohio where many families focus on graduating high school, followed by work in the manufacturing industry because of little to no other options, it was difficult for her to break the cycle of "blue collar" employment and begin a new chapter in her life as a college student.
Being a non-traditional student with children, Ms. Johnson has received an enormous amount of encouragement and support from all of those involved in her accomplishments in math and natural sciences at ACTC. She received many awards and honors for her academic success. Her achievements at ACTC have given her the initiative to help other students succeed by becoming a Supplemental Instruction Leader at the college in math and natural sciences.
Building on her science background from ACTC, Ms. Johnson will graduate from Marshall University in May 2013, with a bachelor of science degree. Additionally, she will complete her first study on cancer research in mice at Marshall University for publication in the spring. She will pursue a master's degree from the same institution in biomedical science, with emphasis in molecular biology geared toward cancer research.
Ms. Johnson will continue to serve as a role model, encouraging students in her community to follow their educational dreams, as she has done.

I have my own ideas. Are they shaped by watching Fox and reading right blogs, yes they are, just as your views are shaped by your left media and left blogs. The difference is I don't constantly bash your media, or call it by demeaning names. I know where you get your info and it is what it is. I believe you are no more, or less intelligent than I am, just differently informed. Try arguing the points instead of just rattling off ... it's all because of "Fox News." Maybe you'd get more of a positive response.

Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008Moderator: Gnome Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008when i first came to 'ouston the only airline flying the route direct was b-cal.
i think it was a 707 (coulda bin a 727) but it was packed like sardines for 10.5 hours. when the stewie (they weren't called flight attendants in those days), had the meal/drinks cart in the aisle you couldn't use the toilet.... THAT was a ****ing nightmare... went back to england via the big apple on a 747. 3.5 hour lay over but it was comfortable ..... sod that... know what ya mean big fella !!!
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Bobby, They were chucking the 'promotional seat pads' that some bright spark had decided to give to each ticket holder . . . And, no news yet about any possible game with the Whitecaps this summer . . .
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Taking my kid with me too although I'll be out there before the masses arrive so I can decorate Toronto in claret & blue Be good to catch up again Coley and looking forward to meeting some of the other US regulars too!
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
& have a look at us little Thai Boys too aye ??
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008Just been there. Was full of middleaged fat, sweaty, drunk American/Canadian birds with there even fatter and sweatier other halfs and fat obnoxious kids from Hell. Not a single (female!!!) breast on sight.....so Toronto is probably the best bet!!!!
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008Anyone know about another game which i believe is in Vancouver on the saturday before??
I am ready to book but would be pi**ed off if i did and there was another game you know the club they will be keeping stummmmm
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008Neither has been confirmed. Although the All Star game seems to be a shoe in, as its being reported everywhere.
The Vancouver thing has gone quite so i don't know what to make of that
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
I don't think Fulham, Chelsea, or Celtic played any other games in addition to the MLS All-Star game.
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Talking of Celtic there is a strong rumour that they are playing a pre-season here in Atlanta around July 12th
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Not confirmed, with absolutely no details forthcoming from anyone connected with the Whitecaps. I can't get hold of anyone from the club this weekend (Seems like their PR and media contacts are all away for Easter) so I'll try and call again next week and see if the Vancouver match is going ahead or not. I'll post any info I get ASAP.
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008I hope tickets are not a problem.
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Oh dear, our game is imploding, isn't it?
Not if it was at that scale. .. if it was one person slinging a frisbee at one of the players, it would result in a ban and rightly so.
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008I remember that, got to be a contender for worst promotional item ever.
"I know we have not scored yet, but let go ahead and give everyone a nice round "frisbee" shaped seat cushion as they walk in. I am sure no one will be tempted to throw it if we do score"
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008you know the mini baseball bats that they give away at mlb games ?
well i have often asked parents if we do give-aways in england ? yeah, we give away those little baseball bats and call it "let's furnish everyone with a weapon" day..
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008Does anyone know if West Ham will get a ticket allocation for this game and, if so, can we get tickets through the club?
The reason I ask is that I've had a mate who works in marketing for the Detroit Ignition MISL side try and get me tickets and there's nothing doing. Most of the tickets have already been taken up by the season ticket holders.There seem to be a few tickets for sale through some of the agencies but, the starting price is $400.
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
to be followed by "Beer Bottle Give Away Day"
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008followed by the "hard hat ~ save your noggin" day...
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008I've been gagging for a decent Concert for ages & it seems i won't have any luck in Toronto, would have gone to see Knopfler but it's too early..

Well a new way to see a doctor -- never even have to leave home to do it more and more people trying out virtual.
Doctor's appointment in fact John can be online right now trying it out over on the other sad.
It's easy it's affordable and it raises questions though about how well doctors can actually treat you this way.
And if they can really prescribe things appropriately for you when you're sick.
I joining me now is doctor mark -- he's chief medical officer of op -- And doctor Eric -- -- -- here with our Fox News medical eighteen -- welcome to you both gonna talk to you doctor in the -- first and then doctor Segal I'd actually may you run this program called mine now clinic dot com.
Just tell us a little bit about how works.
My -- now -- dot com is an online web site.
And you as a consumer have access -- that you go to the web -- on you log in you pay with credit or debit card.
And you have the choice of physicians who are available and on the network.
It's live and available in 22 states today.
And the physician will then I see you through -- web cam or you have the option talking them on the phone or using online chat if you don't have a webcam.
And they'll take -- history and if appropriate it though they can prescribe.
Medications or they can give you health care advice.
When he for a 73 under 65 days a year the price is around 45 dollars more or less than -- say on average for this service do you have any concern that.
Notices -- some limitations of what you can three online -- over the phone.
I think there certainly are some limitations and you know this is solution for people with routine not medical problems it's not for everyone we.
We think people need to have a regular relationship with the primary care provider.
But many people have trouble accessing that so people in rural communities one of our biggest users actually people -- work.
And so they don't have to leave the office they can actually get -- get.
Get advice or get treated if appropriate and it's just a great option for phone -- Very interesting -- a -- a lot of people can relate to being as some of -- -- but they can't get to the doctors.
I doctor Renee thank you very much be appreciated doctor Siegel what do you think about this it's.
Seems very convenient and for some basic basic things like a cold or something like that you think this is good option.
I think I think you are very serious reservations about it personable.
The American Academy of Family Physicians has a problem with the idea of seeing a doctor -- were not even seeing a doctor -- It directly with a -- you've never seen before that's problem number one I think most medicine -- one on one in person.
There's a lot I can tell by I'm when I'm actually seeing in examining a patient it's the art of medicine over the computer over the phone -- what what we've moved way too much in that direction.
-- the other thing is these are doctors who don't know you know I can sometimes treat one of my patients over the phone or by email if I know them by -- their home medical history.
But brand new.
Very bad idea and a lot of medical boards are against this in Texas you can't do it.
The reason that that that company is only in 22 states several states actually -- this and one last thing.
Antibiotics are often overprescribed.
You know that I looked this up with what they're actually treating a lot of the time or bladder infection sinus infections upper respiratory infections.
But you know a study just came out in the journal of the American Medical Association that show that -- over treating sinus infections.
Dramatically 95% of the time it's a virus and that -- plug into a doctor he gives you an antibiotic you go home but you don't really need to.
That face to face so the bigger say for certain at a certain part of the community though this could potentially.
Be helpful though right here in a rural community can't get to the doctor and -- you have a bad sinus infection and maybe can be treated -- about thirty seconds here but you think there's there's some way to improve it may be in your mind.
No I'm sorry to give -- -- Even in the rural community I like going you know getting out your truck going to that clinic.
Meaning that doctor the first time establishing a relationship and then maybe go to -- over the I don't know I'm against it.
It's very interesting idea though I'm curious -- our viewers think they can email us at happening happening now foxnews.com doctor -- thank you for your expertise and thank you to doctor -- as well.

Flaco Jimenez
Few if any artists in conjunto and Tejano music have received the level of critical acclaim Flaco Jimenéz has enjoyed over the course of a career that's spanned six decades, and it's certain that no one has taken the accordion-fueled Tex-Mex sound to a larger audience than he has. Without compromising his musical vision, Jimenéz has introduced the traditional conjunto sound to mainstream pop and country listeners thanks to his collaborations with the Texas Tornados, Dwight Yoakam, and the Mavericks, and he is celebrated by adventurous rock fans through his work with Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Doug Sahm, and the Rolling Stones. Flaco Jimenéz was born in San Antonio, TX in 1939, and raised in a musical family; his grandfather Patricio Jimenéz was an accordion player who embraced the polkas and waltz tunes that are conjunto's stylistic precursors, and Flaco's father Santiago Jimenéz, Sr. was a pioneering Tex-Mex musician who cut one of the first conjunto records, "Dices Pescao" b/w "Dispensa el Arrempujon" in 1936. Flaco's first instrument was the bajo sexto, a Mexican variation on the 12-string guitar which he started to play at age seven, but after he became proficient enough to join his father on-stage, Flaco's interest turned to the accordion, and he developed a joyous, expressive style that was influenced by zydeco master Clifton Chenier as well as his father and his Tex-Mex peers. At 15, Jimenéz formed his first band, los Caporales, and the group soon won a sizable following in San Antonio, cutting records for a local label and earning a weekly spot on a local television variety show. By the early '60s, Jimenéz was already a Texas legend, playing clubs across the Lone Star state and regularly filling dance halls in San Antonio with music that fused the classic Tejano sound with elements of blues and country. Jimenéz gained a loyal fan in Doug Sahm, founder of the Sir Douglas Quintet and a fellow Texas maverick with a taste for crossbreeding rootsy sounds, and in 1973, when Sahm was recording his first solo album for Atlantic Records, he invited Flaco to join him for the sessions (which also included guest spots from Bob Dylan and Dr. John), giving him his first serious recognition outside of the Tejano scene. In 1976, Ry Cooder included Flaco on his album Chicken Skin Music, and the groundbreaking folk and roots music label Arhoolie Records released Flaco Jimenéz & His Conjunto in 1978, finally giving his own music distribution outside of the Southwest. Jimenéz continued to record and tour extensively, broadening his reach across the country and around the world, and in 1988 Dwight Yoakam brought Flaco into the studio to add an accordion part to a duet he recorded with Buck Owens. The tune, "Streets of Bakersfield," became a major country hit, and as Flaco joined Yoakam on tour, he found himself a rising star at the age of 49. In 1989, Jimenéz and his old friend Doug Sahm teamed up for a new project with country legend Freddy Fender and fellow squeeze box man (and one of Sahm's partners in the Sir Douglas Quintet) Augie Meyers; calling themselves the Texas Tornados, the band scored a deal with Reprise Records and they hit the charts with a re-cut of Meyers local hit "(Hey Baby) Que Paso." A track from the Texas Tornados' debut album, "Soy de San Luis," won a Grammy as Best Mexican-American Performance of 1991, and it would be the first of five Grammys Flaco would receive before the decade was out. Now that Flaco was a bona fide star, he signed with Warner Bros. and released a 1992 solo set, Partners, which included guest appearances from Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and los Lobos. In 1994, the Rolling Stones tapped Flaco to add an accordion solo to their album Voodoo Lounge, and the same year Jimenéz released a self-titled solo set for Arista, a rootsy effort that included vocals from Raul Malo of the Mavericks. A year later, Jimenéz and Malo appeared on record together again when Flaco added a hot accordion solo to the Mavericks' "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" from their album Music for All Occasions, which once again brought Flaco's sound to the upper reaches of the country charts. 1996 saw the release of the last studio album from the Texas Tornados, but Jimenéz joined up with another supergroup in 1998, los Super Seven, a collection of top Latin American musicians including members of los Lobos and Joe Ely. Since then, Jimenéz has continued to maintain a busy recording and touring schedule that would tax men half his age as he upholds his status as one of the world's leading ambassadors of Tex-Mex music. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I agree with bandido4, there was a documentary on national TV about Tex-Mex music and Mr. Jimenez was interviewed. I wish I had taped it had I known he was on but I found it too late. I love accordian music and Mr. Jimenez deserves the best of the best in accordian sound.
Your info is O.K., but you forgot to mention that he is one of the best accorionist player that there has ever been. I do not know where you get your information from, but you left out a lot of his history out. Maybe next time you will be more informative. People like me get a little upset when you don't put all the info. so that everybody who don't know him can really know who he really was.

Sinbad Sets Sail on a New Journey into Water Surfaces
Prince of Egypt, Antz, The Road to El Dorado, Shrek, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and now Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas are all heavy into water. In fact, DreamWorks co-founder and animation guru Jeffrey Katzenberg readily admits it: the studio definitely has water on the brain. And wait till next year's Sharkslayer, DreamWorks' gangster-inspired answer to Finding Nemo it's their ultimate in waterworks.
According to Craig Ring, digital supervisor on Sinbad and lighting supervisor on Antz, water is all over the place in Sinbad and is represented by four approaches utilized on other films. "The simplest thing we've done and it's surprisingly effective is to take a painting of water and then do a compositing ripple distortion over that painting," Ring offers. "It looks astoundingly good but only works for very calm water like the surface of a pond." In Sinbad, this occurs, for instance, when the protagonist talks to Marina on the ship at night.
The second level up the surface water chain in Sinbad, Ring says, has to do with a fluid simulation. "It provides more control over water to make it believable and stylized. It allows you to change the wave shapes. It's great for creating an ocean surface. You just get this nice, complex ocean with big and small waves, and everything in between. But it's a single surface; there are no splashing or breaking waves. We had waves that were 30-feet high on Sinbad. We used it most prominently during the sea monster attack." However, the full-blown ocean simulation utilized on Antz and Shrek, which was inspired by Areté Entertainment's Advanced Fluid Simulator, was not applied to Sinbad because it didn't call for photorealistic splashes.
The third use of water, which DreamWorks previously used in El Dorado and Spirit, occurs during the rushing river sequence involving the Sirens, the mythological women that sing songs, entrance sailors and cause them to crash on rocks and drawn. "It doesn't look like an ocean and it's not calm," Ring suggests. "It is a rapid slashing technique used to create a surface and then send ripples through the surface. You can think of it as a bed sheet when you flip it and you feel a wave moving through the bed sheet even though it isn't moving. You combine that with animated textures that look like a swirl of color and foam. The illusion looks like waters flowing down this river. It was first really pushed on Spirit, when Rain falls into the river and Spirit saves her."
As for the Sirens themselves, they were essentially female creatures that look like living fountains. The technique was similar to the one involving the aquatic aliens in The Abyss. When the Sirens rise out of the water, they splash up like a wave, float in the air and then fragment into a million drops of water as they try to sweep the sailors off the ship.
Ring says they were very careful not to show anything risqué on the Sirens. "We pushed the speed and scale a lot during the Sirens sequence. There was this huge wall of rock that everything rushes into. We wanted to integrate 3D with stylized, traditional splashes hitting rock, so we had 2D animators draw splashes, which we texture-mapped onto little cards and emitted these cards like a particle simulation coming off the rocks. Instead of being photoreal, it allowed us to get bigger, more complex splashes than you could affordably draw because we were multiplying that same slow animation hundreds or thousands of times in the shot. But it still has a feel that integrates well with the drawn characters."

The University of Toledo in Ohio will host nine events today, including a talk about butterflies and a business of medicine meeting, according to its calendar. Absent from the calendar is any commemoration of the 9/11 attacks. It was also nowhere to be found on the programming docket for Sept. 11, 2011, despite it being the 10-year anniversary of the attacks.
"It does kind of surprise me," says Toledo senior Vincent Scebbi, the editor-in-chief of the school's student newspaper, the Independent Collegian, who calls the master calendar "a pretty good indication" of campus events.
When Scebbi reported a 10-year anniversary story on 9/11 last year, he asked students what they remembered about the attacks, which occurred when most of them were in elementary school. "A lot of the students were really confused, unsure of the situation," he says. "We were almost too young to really grasp the intensity of the day, in the global context."
Given some college students' lack of context about 9/11, university staff should step up their efforts to memorialize the attacks, according to Scebbi.
"There should be at least, at the bare minimum, some sort of memorial because of how much of an impact September 11 had on our lives," he says. Since 9/11, when his mother goes on business trips, for example, she E-mails Scebbi before takeoff and upon landing. "She just wants us to know that she's safe," he says.
[Learn how high school teachers address post-9/11 stereotypes.]
Valencia College in Orlando, Fla., is another school where neither the staff nor the students planned any 9/11 events in 2011. But unlike at Toledo, the school is making changes this year.
"Many of our students were 6 or 7 years old on September 11, 2001, and were too young to comprehend the tragic events of that day," says Kathleen Plinske, the president of Valencia's Osceola campus. "We realized that if we planned a memorial for September 11 this year, we could help students understand what happened, honor our emergency responders, and invite students to discussions about diversity and acceptance."
This year, the college is partnering with the Rotary Club of Lake Nona, in southeast Orlando—where Plinske is a member—to place 2,977 American flags on campus. That memorial was inspired by Plinske's visit in 2011 to Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., where she saw the school's annual waves of flags memorial, which featured one flag for each 9/11 victim.
"If colleges and universities aren't thoughtful about September 11, it is possible that the tragic events of that day will be 'forgotten' in our students' collective consciousness," Plinske says. "However, I think that September 11 can represent a wonderful opportunity to invite students to a dialogue about diversity, acceptance, and peace."
[See how the effects of 9/11 shape graduate programs.]
But on some campuses, 9/11 commemorations are regular fixtures. Fairfield University, for example, hosts a day-long remembrance that honors the victims of 9/11—including 14 Fairfield alumni—and George Washington University regularly organizes a moment of silence and candle vigil. And some students question the assumption that they're too young to remember the attacks.

By Steve Reed The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE - A person familiar with the situation says the Carolina Panthers interviewed quarterbacks coach Mike Shula for their vacant offensive coordinator position on Wednesday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team has not released its list of candidates.
The Panthers are looking to replace Rob Chudzinski, who left to become the head coach of the Cleveland Browns last week.
Former Browns coach Pat Shurmur and current Cincinnati Bengals assistant Hue Jackson have also interviewed for the job.
Shula spent four seasons as offensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996-99 but things didn't go well there. The Bucs finished 27th in the league in total offense, 29th in points scored and last in the league in passing offense over that four-year span.

I recently purchased one of the folding portable keyboards for my Palm m500. That purchase was one of the best investments in productivity that I've ever made. So far I've used it for the following:
- Taking Class and meeting notes using the Thought Manager outliner.
Processing my "In" while I'm away from my desk (entering actions, projects, appointments, etc.)
Keeping a journal of work I do at client sites using DayNotez.
Keeping a personal journal in DayNotez
Entering expenses in the expense app while I'm on the road.
A laptop would be overkill for me, not to mention that I can't fit a laptop into my shirt pocket. The portable keyboard has turned my Palm into just enough laptop for me. FYI.

Witness issue slows Fla. terror support trial
Defense in Fla. terror support trial can't get Pakistani witnesses, seeks video depositions
The defense in the terrorism support trial of an elderly South Florida imam is having trouble getting witnesses to travel from Pakistan to testify.
A Miami federal judge will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to allow video depositions to be taken of six witnesses unable to make travel arrangements in time from Pakistan. The judge is already allowing video testimony from five other defense witnesses who refuse to travel from Pakistan.
Federal prosecutors are opposing the latest video statements. But attorneys for 77-year-old imam Hafiz Khan say they're essential to show phone conversations were not about terrorism.
Khan is on trial for allegedly funneling at least $50,000 to the Pakistani Taliban, listed by the U.S. as a terrorist group. Khan insists the money was for innocent purposes.

Spinal cord tumors are abnormal growths of tissue found in or near the spinal cord. Because the spinal cord is housed in a rigid, bony structure (the spinal column), any abnormal growth can put pressure on sensitive tissues and impair function. Also, any tumor located near sensitive spinal cord nerves may cause pain and weakness.

Bill Kirby Jr.
Call it a whirlwind week, and I've learned that:
Interim City Manager Kristoff Bauer, 46, is way off base in a proposed $187 million 2013 city budget that does not include hiring much-needed police officers in a municipality where crime is getting worse by the day.
And if you don't believe me, give a listen to Jim Anderson, who says, "The new interim city manager apparently knows which side his bread is buttered on, and by who" as Bauer "placates the city council. And I am thankful not to live in the most stupid-led town in America."
And if Mayor Tony Chavonne, Mayor Pro Tem Jim Arp and city council members D.J. Haire, Robert Massey Jr., Bobby Hurst, Kady-Ann Davy, Keith Bates and Wade Fowler don't join Bill Crisp and Val Applewhite in expressing concern for more police officers ... then they are clearly deaf, dumb and blind to the criminal element in the city they have sworn to serve.
Stephen Shakeshaft says there isnota "difference in the Lord and the law," as Rep. Rick Glazier argues against Amendment One not to recognize same-sex marriage and common-law unions in North Carolina, and you can read everything Shakeshaft has to say on my blog.
The amendment "wasn't cloudy for 61 percent who voted for it," Steve Sosa says, "and it looks to me like Rep. Glazier was putting too much spin on it, along with others."
(Ret.) Lt. Col. Rob Gable believes that 61 percent of state voters agreed with the amendment "because the Christians in the state were united in voting to say how they felt God would have them vote," and you can read more of his thoughts on my blog, too.
Dan Barton takes those voting in this county a step beyond, saying "70 percent were not confused at all" over the amendment language, and it was "the 30 percent who voted against it who were confused."
Ron Spivey does believe some voters were confused by the amendment language, and had it been better presented, passage may have been at "90 percent."
"The ballot should have asked 'Are you for or against same-sex marriage? Yes or no,' " Bill McPhail says, and that says it well.
Just more than 25 percent of registered county voters turned out for Tuesday's primary, which is better for this community ... but still nowhere near good enough.

Help with Searching
The ZSearch facilities are powerful and extensive. They can be userd in diverse ways, all from the top Search Page. We have also, however, ueed them ourselves to provide particular focused searches. This page is an example.
In the filtering area you see that it comes with a default choice for account type. That means it is looking for Wrtiers or Sustainers, as noted. If you change the filter, for example, of course you will be searching amoung a different constituency.
You can also put in a name, or a locale to filter your find list further. You can also select a Group and see members who are Sustainers or Writers, or even from some locale, etc.
Of course the locale filter only works for people who have taken the time to enter their locale...so if you don't find many folks, it doesn't mean that they don't exist in the system. Instead, it could be they haven't entered where they are from....
So, in summary, sarch users by account type such as writer or sutainer, by first name, last name, by interest (where again, this only works for folks who entered one), group, or by location. Fill out your chosen feilds and then click the search button. Choose from among the results disaplayed or reset your search to start over.

Ok, so I picked this up as a part of there "inner circle" special on it, I only bought one because I'll be honest with you, I'm a sales rep for a distribution company that carries USP Labs.
The package came in the mail today before I went to the gym, and in it, as promised came the free sample of PowerFull, as I did not stack this today so I could honestly see how it stacked up for the first day.
My first time using this, I felt the normal "beta tingle" from the beta alanine, which I always kinda like personally.
I have stacked caffeine and geranium oil (sp?) before when I am draggin ass on certain days so I'm pretty familiar with my response to it.
At the gym I had legs today, and I must say that I did have a desire to keep pushing on my own, which I normally have a workout partner with me pushing me, but today I didn't.
I went to failure on all sets-
Squats: 4 sets: 15, 12, 10, 10
Hamstring Curls: 4 sets: 17, 13, 10, 8
Extensions: 14, 12, 10, 8
Standing Calf: 20, 18, 16, 15
It would have been easy to overtrain, but knowing my limitations, and legs being a weak area personally, I knew better, so instead I used the focus I had on abs killing them into the gnarly cramped state I am right now.
I gotta give Jacob a thumbs up on the product right now for a first day, but the taste could be tweaked some. I'm not complaining though, because I only used 2 scoops in 6 oz of water, I can slam it, as its a better taste than tequila!!
I got a good pump, strong energy and focus, and a desire to train, as I am not an easily motivated person to push too too hard and I normally have a partner screamin in my ear.
I see this being a solid seller on the market, and will continue to use this and update my thoughts.
Ok so last night was the serious test. My Mondays are long training days as I go to the gym and work shoulders, biceps, do about 20 min of cardio, then head to teach and do jiu jitsu.
I did the three scoop serving, and on the way to the gym I got the Beta tingle like last time, but a bit stronger because of the doseage, no biggie. My buddy and I started our workout and it went like this....mind you all sets go to failure:
Shoulder Press:
60lbs DB set 1: 19 reps
70lbs DB set 2: 12 reps then drop set to
35lbs DB and crank out 10 more
DB side lateral:
30lb DB Set 1: 14 reps
Set 2: 12 reps drop set to
15lb DB to fail: 11 more reps
DB rear delt fly:
30lb DB Set 1: 13 reps
Set 2: 12 reps then drop set to
15lb DB to fail: 9 Reps
115lb BB
Set 1: 13 Reps
Set 2: 11 Reps
Set 3: 9 Reps
Cable Rope Hammer Curl:
70lbs Set 1: 19 Reps
Set 2: 14 Reps then drop set to
35lbs to fail: 12 Reps
Seated preacher curl (Machine, 1 arm at a time)
25lbs Set 1: 11 Reps
Set 2: 8 Reps Drop set
10 lbs to fail: 12 reps
20 Minutes on the stairmaster moderate intensity
The I go in and teach, test, and do jiu jitsu for about 2 hours.
I must say that Jacked got me through the night, where normally I am draggin after cardio. This stuff has me sold, and I was focused, energetic, and in a great mood the entire time, I could have easily overtrained but didn't. Needless to say, I am pretty sore today, but not too bad, feel great about my workout, and look forward to going back to the gym tonight to do back and tricept!!!!

The Makita 4350FCT Top Handle Jigsaw has 40% less tool vibration with the lowest noise level in its class.
Taunton Press (Fine Homebuilding & Fine Woodworking) included seven pro-level jigsaws in their annual review.
Media: Wayne Hart Communications Manager Makita U.S.A. (714) 522-8088 x 4410 firstname.lastname@example.com

4350FCT Jigsaw comes out on top in seven-tool review
Powerful. Well-balanced. Easy to maneuver. Quiet.
That's what the editors of Fine Homebuilding and Fine Woodworking had to say about the Makita 4350FCT Top Handle Jigsaw.
Taunton Press (Fine Homebuilding & Fine Woodworking) rounded up seven pro-level top-handle jigsaws from Bosch, DeWalt, Festool, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, and Porter Cable for their annual 2012 Tool Guide. They tested the tools for basic differences in speed, control, size, weight, and power, as well as features like L.E.D. lights, vacuum ports, dust blowers, and cases. They tested the seven saws on softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, metal, and porcelain tile in their review.
In the end, the Makita 4350FCT was named "BEST OVERALL" and the "Editors' Choice. They liked the compact size and well-balanced design of the 4350FCT, as well as the tool's maneuverability, low noise, soft-start feature, and the line of sight to the cut line (they called it "just right"). The editors also liked the power, noting that the Makita "sliced through all the materials with ease, even working through 4x4 ipe posts better than any other saw."
The Makita 4350FCT Top Handle Jigsaw is part of Makita's best-in-class line-up of cutting and woodworking solutions. For more on the 4350FCT, go here.

Get Big Data Insights Without the Big Infrastructure
When driven by appropriate business requirements, big data can provide valuable business insights. The availability of open-source technologies such as Hadoop, MapReduce and Hive has made big data analytics more accessible to organizations. Today, enterprises turn to Hadoop to leverage its power of analytics but are faced with some trade-offs.
These trade-offs include infrastructure requirements of multiple compute nodes that add to server sprawl; compute and storage deployed as a unit, which results in an imbalance of resources; Hadoop's replication requires three times as much physical storage as the data it stores, increasing server and storage sprawl in the datacenter. Furthermore, expensive data moves, due to batch processing, makes for additional cost and complexity.
Join this webcast to learn how Symantec's Enterprise Solution for Hadoop, based on Veritas Cluster File System, provides a scalable, resilient data management solution to address the trade-offs and allows you to:
- Run big data analytics on existing infrastructure, before making new investments
- Leverage our partnership with Hortonworks and use their highly stable Hadoop distribution—Hortonworks Data Platform, as well as their support system
- Avoid costly data moves, by analyzing data where it resides

Tech Horoscopes, 2012
An overview on the current race towards absolute social…everything (web, commerce and entertainment)
Apple - Winning the battle, not the war, and not even that for long
Apple is in an arms race of hardware and patents that can only be won by a series of consistently correct tactical decisions as well as maintaining organizational superiority. In other words, because Apple's victory can only be tactical, it does not have a strategic advantage. Apple's acumen with generating fanaticism is limited to its ability to create real technical differentiation. However, open source software and second-tier hardware will gradually but effortlessly creep over all of Apple's territory in the same way that it has already gained a plurality of the industry ( Android: 42%, Apple: 28% – Source). In years past, and in a different category, being first and a pioneer would lead to domination (Xerox, Kleenex, Coca-Cola over Pepsi, Nike over Reebok). Now, however, pioneers act more as door men for smaller, more agile innovators (or Tweakers, according to Gladwell) and consumers are infinitely more concerned with value than brand. Consumers are on board with Apple's benevolent dictatorship only as long as it yields the best product around. That battle will become increasingly difficult to win.
Google - Set to win but squandering its advantage
Google is currently floundering under its own bloated weight and dry, cutesy culture, which, I would assert, is the result of its pursuit of hyper-academic and hyper-technical talent. This has led to the release of several deplorable products like Wave, Buzz and Google+, all of which are crafted like the space shuttle but are completely out of touch with real, visceral human experience.

Well, FF 3.007 is an improvement, but still not working as it should. Using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe Lightroom 3.6, I was able to open FF from LR. Unfortunately, FF did NOT open the image I sent it!
The matter is even worse working from PS CS 5 Extended 12.0.4 x64. I tried to send FF a layer that was a duplicate of the background layer. FF opened, but the image I'd tried to send was still on top It was impossible to apply anything from FF to the image because the image I'd sent was in the way. FF was on top according to the menus, but it wasn't really. At least it's not crashing, but it's still not working as it should! As a retired developer with over 25 years of experience in the business, I'm very dismayed at the apparent lack of quality assurance for FF 3.007! Did you people really test the new version before releasing it? Ronald Pollack: Launch FF and go to Tools > Updates |

Note that I am using the "Professional Edition" of FF.
1. Open image in PS CS 5. (12.0.4 x64) 2. Select Filter > Filter Forge > Filter Forge 3... 3. See attachment for result. Note that FF is shown as the active application. However, the original image is shown on top. Also note that PS's palettes are not visible. Clicking on the image turns the cursor into a spinning "beachball". Clicking in the FF window does not bring FF to the front. Returning to PS via Cmnd-Tab, with FF still active, does not allow the repositioning of the original image, with the spinning beachball still the cursor. Another indication of my dismay at FF's programmers' knowledge of or willingness to adhere to Mac OS standards is that FF does not respond when an image file is dropped on it in the Finder. Perhaps Finder is not on the list of "supported host applications"? Where on the FF web site is the list of supported applications? |

Are people still experiencing this problem? I had the same issue, but the solution was easier than I first thought... btw I'm using Lion 10.7.3, Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0 64-bit and Filter Forge 3.007, if that is useful to know. Anyway, read on...
1. Right-click on Filter Forge app folder in Applications -> Get Info -> click the padlock icon in the bottom right corner and type in password to unlock the permissions menu. 2. Sel ect your user from the list. If it isn't there (mine said "loading"), just click the + symbol and add your user. Then choose read and write permission for that user. Click the padlock icon when you're done editing to save your changes. 3. Open the Filter Forge app folder now, and double-click InstallPlugins terminal icon. This will auto-detect your host apps and plug right into them - which the installer, for some reason, didn't do in the first place. Close Terminal again. 4. Open Photoshop, open Filter Forge fr om the Filters menu, type in name and serial (or buy license if you haven't already), and begin using this wonderful plugin. That's all I had to do to get mine to plug into the host app. Hope it helps you! - Thomas T. EDIT: On a side note; my permission menu had three "users", but the top one - my user - only said "loading" in grey letters. I had to select that one, click the minus (-) symbol to remove it, add it again, then choose permissions. Just in case the same thing happens to someone else. Architect in the works. |

I've given up. I've had the same problem and there has been no communication fr om FF. All was well until I upgraded to a new Mac running 10.7 and CS5. Neither were particularly new releases by then. But FF would not, and will not work. I'd just recently paid for the upgrade to FF3, and, boy, do I feel ripped off. I have wasted hours on this, pouring over the advice in the forums. I have the permissions correctly set. I have uninstalled and reinstalled...if I try to open it in PS, it crashes. It briefly worked, but not well (it would make windows freeze, with FF opening behind everything wh ere I couldn't see it), but now it won't even do that. I've sent pleas for help through the contact form on this site and have not gotten a response. My solution was to go to Alien Skin and by their suite of plug-ins. I used to love FF and would still like to use it, but it's impossible now. It should not be this hard to get it installed. It should not be this hard to get it to work...in fact, it should just work. This is ridiculous. I'm enjoying Snap Art from Alien Skin, seeing as I can't use the Filter Forge I paid for anymore. Infuriating. And ignoring tech support queries on a product that people pay a considerable amount of money for is not ok. | |||||

Ellen, just do as I've done. That's use FF as a separate app with no direct connection with PS. It's a shame that FF denies that there's a problem when there is one. I've done a lot with FF in making files that I then open in PS and combine layers when appropriate. I, too, have the Alien Skin plugins, but while their integration with PS is excellent, they simply do not do the things that FF can do. So while using them with no connection is less convenient than it would be if things worked as they should, but it's still better than banging one's head against a wall and using a lesser product. | |||||

Thanks Craig. Truth is, it's an extremely inconvenient workaround, for me, to use it as a standalone. It used to work so well, altering a single PS layer if I wanted. Now, with the standalone, I can't even open a .psd file. Jpg only. It makes it much harder for me to do what I want to do. The Alien Skin plugins are different, and ideally would make a nice enhancement to go along with FF, if FF worked, but at least the Alien Skin plugins seamlessly integrate into my work flow. It's better than the near-nothing I've got with Filter Forge. But I agree, FF--when it works--can do a lot more.
You explained above earlier, very well, what the problem is with the window appearing and then freezing under the file you're supposed to be working on. I couldn't believe they claimed they couldn't reproduce it and made it sound like somehow it was something to do with a particular .psd file. I'd also written to them about this very same problem. This can't possibly be a rare bug. I used to love FF so much, I made a point of mentioning FF on Flickr whenever I'd used it in a picture. I followed them on Facebook. I really, really want to like this company and this product. But now... I have enough other things in my life to frustrate me. I don't need this too. I am genuinely glad for you that you've found a workaround you can use. In a desperate pinch I might do the same, but I'd much prefer to use it as part of my PS workflow. The integration into the other software is what sold me on it. |

It's not inexcusable if you accept that FF is Windows-centric and that Mac support is an afterthought. It's a shame that they couldn't figure out how to replicate the problems that some Mac users are having and apparently have dropped the issue from their bug list. The workaround that I use is acceptable to me, but not to others. Maybe when FF4 is released they'll have fixed the issue--probably accidentally. | |||||
