Born on July 24, 1965 in New York, NY, Liman was raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan by his father, Arthur L. Liman, an attorney who once served as counsel for the State of New York during the investigation of the 1971 Attica prison riots, as well as general counsel for the Senate during the Iran-contra hearings in the 1980s. Meanwhile, his mother, Ellen, was a writer and a painter. When he was just six years old, Liman's father gave him a Super-8 camera, which the young boy promptly used to film dogs in Central Park. Throughout the years, he made numerous films with friends and family, even casting his father as The Mummy for a 25-minute film he made in the fifth grade. While still in high school, Liman studied still photography at the International Center of Photography in New York City, before moving on to Brown University, where he helped co-found the student-run cable television station, BTV, while serving as its first station manager.
Following his graduation from Brown in 1988, Liman attended the graduate program at the University of Southern California, where he helmed his first feature-length film, "Getting In/Student Body" (1993), a darkly comic thriller that attempted to satirize the admissions process to medical school. The little seen, direct-to-video release featured a cast of up and coming players, including Calista Flockhart, Matthew Perry, Christine Baranski and Dave Chappelle. Liman had also cast another pre-"Friends" star, Jennifer Aniston, but was forced to fire her after the studio, Trimark Pictures, wanted a post-"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992) Kristy Swanson instead. Looking for his next picture, Liman became attached to direct "Swingers" when Jon Favreau, the screenwriter, had been turned down by everyone in town. Centered around a group of friends (Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston and Patrick Van Horne) trying to snap a heartbroken buddy (Favreau) out of his lovesick funk, the film featured a swaggering hipness and self-conscious posturing that was nonetheless strongly grounded in genuine sweetness. Made on an ultra-low budget of $250,000, the dialogue-fueled "Swingers" was often filmed on locations in several popular clubs around Los Angeles, and even included a trip to Vegas, baby, without permits in a pseudo-documentary style. The result was a film filled with energy and charm that captivated audiences and critics, while establishing a cult following that jump-started the careers of the featured actors, most notably the unique motor-mouth, Vaughn.
Artful, smart and exhilarating, Liman's rapid-paced next effort "Go" (1999) more than lived up to the legacy of its acclaimed predecessor. A refreshingly optimistic and affirming take on John August's script about young Los Angelinos on the fast track, "Go" was comprised of three separate but related sections, each focusing on different members of the film's talented ensemble of up and comers (Sarah Polley, Timothy Olyphant, Jay Mohr, Scott Wolf, Taye Diggs). Liman showed a rare filmmaker's economy, bringing the elaborate and energetic ride in at well under two hours. Doing double duty as cinematographer, Liman created a look for the film that stylistically captured both the script's vivid spirit and somewhat dark subject matter. He shot some visually arresting scenes, including an Ecstasy-fueled hallucination set in a supermarket, a terrifying neon lit Las Vegas strip car chase, and a hazy rave dance floor scene. The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews, but box office returns were comparably lackluster. Marketed as a teen movie because of its hip, young cast, the film was lost in the influx of insipid commercial teen fare. Following "Go," Liman produced the Sarah Thorp film "See Jane Run" (2001), starring Clea DuVall and Kevin Corrigan, and as producer he helped bring the indie lesbian comedy "Kissing Jessica Stein" (2001) to the big screen.
Making the jump from low budget indies to major studio films in an instant, Liman enjoyed his most potent commercial and creative success when he helmed the cleverly assembled action thriller, "The Bourne Identity" (2002), an adaptation of author Robert Ludlum's thick potboiler. The film cast Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, an amnesiac who washes ashore and finds himself uncannily equipped to battle the assassins pursuing him, as he tries to piece together his identity. Demonstrating his visual flair in numerous action sequences that were a far cry from the talky scenes of his previous two efforts, Liman ably showed that he was capable of making a highly entertaining film regardless of budget or genre. The film spawned a franchise which saw Liman serve as executive producer on two sequels, "The Bourne Supremacy" (2004) and "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007). Building on his success, he served as an executive producer and directed the pilot episode of the popular Fox melodrama "The O.C." (2003-07), which followed the turbulent relationships of a group of Orange County teens and their parents, and made stars out of newcomers Mischa Barton, Benjamin McKenzie, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson.
Liman's momentum continued when he directed "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005), a crackerjack comedic thriller about an increasingly distant married couple (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), both of whom discover that the other is a secretly high-caliber assassin after being assigned to kill one another, reigniting their ardor for one another. In addition to Liman's characteristically innovative action staging, the film benefitted greatly from the chemistry between Pitt and Jolie, who developed a controversial, high-profile relationship off-screen while making the film. Due to rumored flirtations on set between Jolie and the then "married to America's Sweetheart," Brad Pitt, there was a larger-than-average interest in the film upon its opening. It became one of Liman's biggest box office successes, taking in well over $400 million in worldwide receipts. Turning back to television amidst a highly successful feature career, Liman directed the pilot episode for "Heist" (NBC, 2006), an action drama about a season-long attempt to rob three jewelry stores on Beverly Hills' swanky Rodeo Drive. Despite several positive reviews, the show completed only seven episodes, airing just five before being canceled. Liman returned to features with "Jumper" (2008), a sci-fi action flick centered on a group of underground teleporters able to jump from one unrealistic location to another. Starring Hayden Christiansen, Rachel Bilson and Samuel L. Jackson, "Jumper" produced some of the worst reviews of Liman's career, with many tagging the movie as incoherent and devoid of interesting visual effects.
Liman went back to television to serve as the executive producer on "Covert Affairs" (USA Network, 2010- ), a savvy action drama that centered on Annie Walker (Piper Perabo), a young CIA trainee, who is mysteriously sent into the field as an operative for reasons unknown. Accompanying her is a CIA intelligence and special operations officer (Christopher Gorham). Staying inside the covert world of the CIA with his next feature, Liman directed "Fair Game" (2010), a fictional accounting of the scandal surrounding Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), an undercover operative who was publicly exposed by former presidential advisor Karl Rove as political retribution for her husband, Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), writing an op-ed in The New York Times declaring that the Bush Administration had manipulated intelligence in its case for invading Iraq.

"I think teens are really smart. 'Go' will show you don't have to spoon-feed them garbage and that they can choose to see an original movie." - Liman quoted in Entertainment Weekly, April 23, 1999 |
"I think there is also a tendency for people who make independent films, they want to make cool movies. This is probably, in terms of psychiatry, the single most likely explanation for that - independent filmmakers want to make cool movies. And part of making a cool movie is to make these dark, edgy, sort of unlikable characters. I don't want to make 'cool' movies, I want to make sweet, uplifting films. To me those are the cool movies, the movies trying not to be cool." - Liman quoted as part of March 1999's Independent Feature Project interview |

I love mine, it's probably what I'll use to shoot league this spring.
This is my first post and first FN pistol but I'm frequently on Sig Forum and Glock Talk under the same screen name. I bought the black FNP .45 Bud's had for sale for $509. From the positive comments I read here and other forums I think I picked a winner. I'll post a range report after I shoot it.
I love mine, it's probably what I'll use to shoot league this spring.
Picked up the FNP .45 today. Took it home for a clean and lube then off to the range. No FTF or FTE but a couple of times the side didn't lock open after the last round. No biggie. I'll clean the mags too.
This is the softest shooting, most accurate .45 I've ever owned. It's big but still fits my average sized mitts.
You'd have to be a big guy to carry it! It's about the length and height of a Glock 21 with a little more thickness.
Yeah, it's big, but it can be carried if you're wearing a jacket or untucked shirt. I found that right behind the hip bone is quite comfortable.
no gut jokes please.
Anybody know if the FNP 45 is available NY compliant with 10 round mags?? Yeah, I already know. It sucks here.
Good choice.
when i buy a 45 it is going to be the FNP-45
Does it have to be factory manufactured 10 round mag? I know a friend of mines father had a mossberg 500 shotgun that had a tube capacity of more than was legal. to forgo the law he had a stick behind the follower making it physically impossible to load more round's than whatever the law was. I only remember cause I think it's bat shit crazy to limit a shotgun's mag tube, lol, but was wondering if the same principal could apply to a magazine for a pistol?

PROFILE of New York City police commissioner William Bratton, 47. Over-all crime was down 12.3%, shooting incidents were down 16.38%, murders were down 18.75%--the steepest drops in memory, and largely beyond statistical dispute. More than anything else what cops writer interviewed wanted to say about Bratton was, "He backs you up." He has had a lot to say about giving precinct commanders more authority to respond to crime patterns. Tells about his earlier police career ending as commissioner in Boston. In the high councils of the Police Department, there has been talk lately of "seizing and holding" areas of the city that have seemingly fallen under the control of gun-toting drug dealers. The notion that Bratton is a show horse rather than a "workhorse," as a Newsday columnist suggested recently, is not widely shared within the Police Department. Mentions his campaign to end police corruption.

Here are some key bits of information concerning the upcoming GeForce GTX 680, a performance single-GPU graphics card based on the 28 nm GK104 GPU by NVIDIA. The information, at face value, is credible, because we're hearing that a large contingent of the media that finds interest in the GPU industry, is attending the Game Developers Conference, where it could interact with NVIDIA, on the sidelines. The source, however, is citing people it spoke to at CeBIT. First, and most interesting: with some models of the GeForce 600, NVIDIA will introduce a load-based clock speed-boost feature (think: Intel Turbo Boost), which steps up clock speeds of the graphics card when subjected to heavy loads. If there's a particularly stressing 3D scene for the GPU to render, it overclocks itself, and sees the scene through. This ensures higher minimum and average frame-rates. Second, you probably already know this, but GK104 does indeed feature 1,536 CUDA cores, which lend it a strong number-crunching muscle that helps with shading, post-processing, and GPGPU. Third, the many-fold increase in CUDA cores doesn't necessarily amount to a linear increase in performance, when compared to the previous generation. The GeForce GTX 680 is about 10% faster than Radeon HD 7970, in Battlefield 3. In the same comparison, the GTX 680 is slower than HD 7970 at 3DMark 11. Fourth, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 will very much launch in this month. It won't exactly be a paper-launch, small quantities will be available for purchase, and only through select AIC partners. Quantities will pick up in later months. Fifth, there's talk of GK107, a mid-range GPU based on the Kepler architecture, being launched in April. Next up, NVIDIA is preparing a dual-GPU graphics card based on the GK104, it is slated for May, NVIDIA will use Graphics Technology Conference (GTC), as its launch-pad. Lastly, GK110, the crown-jewel of the Kepler GPU family, will feature as many as 2,304 CUDA cores. There's absolutely no word on its whereabouts. The fact that NVIDIA is working on a dual-GK104 graphics card indicates that we won't see this chip very soon. Source: Heise.de
whoa... dynamic oc ? interesting. also... whatever happened to "CRUSHING THE 7970?" 10% faster and then slower? That hype.
Am I the only one who sees this as a featureless feature its the same thing as QnQ and Intel Speed Step only the clock go's up and down. IMO its basically saying here's a 750 hp engine that's listed as 650 hp but has this awesome feature where you press the red button and it has 750 hp
relative to your ealier news post, GK104 (GTX 680) Has 17% Higher Compute Power Than Tahiti (HD7970): Report all im now seeing is that, Yes nvidia have mearly been hyping their stuff AMD BD style. 17% better compute with equal to less performance else where is not in any way a big deal as they have been makeing out, ill still be buying a lower end sKu but im not overly impressed by the utter bull Nvidia (and AMD) spout, !its going to be epic!, and an AMD tahiti smasher maybe the Gk110 but not this plus what the heck happend to all the delayed to get volume out chat ,mearly trying to spoil AMD's mass sale, since as ever 5 shops are getting 10 cards a piece
Thank you for this info btarunr. So this is the high end Kepler card that's coming at the end of the year, right?
I dont think their sales would have been much higher anyways... most people didnt buy because of the high price. If anything this should at least bring it down.
or for simple folk this card goes to 11 , you can run it at six but unlike others that go to 10 this goes all the way to 11 hahaha effin brill nvidia, thats the shittest, sell out firmware update, used to hide unstable high clocks tactic ive ever heard of, people are going to go crazy down the pub for that agreed but the prices would have dropped more had they(NV) backed their big mouth , i hope this is bs and its better
thats it. been without a video card/pc for 2.5 weeks and cant afford staying longer. i thought by march 15 ill see cards on market, but it looks like next month at least. *orders a 7950*
I just bought two MSI HD7970's, as my last set up was Nvidia based and I loved it, but I really like changing things up from time to time. In any case one of these cards from either camp is over kill in most cases.
according to http://ht4u.net/news/25227_geruechte_um_amd_tenerife-gpu_stellen_eine_falschmeldung_dar/ (use google to translate) tenerife is a fake...
Yeah right, like an AMD product manager is ever going to confirm to the public, the existence of something 6 months down the line.
If this is true the only thing Nvidia could have on AMD is price for performance or power consumption..... the 2 things AMD is known for being better at. It sounds like the 7xxx and 6xx generations are not exactly winners for consumers.
Nvidia has nothing to war with. When they deliver something solid rather than just press releases, the prices of AMD's newest cards should go down.
Its named as a top tier card. So I guess Nvidia is up to its name changing game again. They should just call it a 660 TI instead of the BS.
what bugs me is that i already planned for waiting. but its taking too much. i can wait untill 15 march, but it looks like we're going for april, and thats too much. and nothing is showing on the market, or will show up for like a month. ps, i cant even find 7950 msi or sapphire cards.

Comments about BILLABONG FAN FAVE BANDEAU DRESS:
This is such a easy, cute piece to just throw on to run errands, get lunch with friends, or go to the beach. The print is so cute and eye-catching! I wouldn't wear it out at night or to a fancy dinner. It's very casual. I'm 5'2 and I would prefer it to be a little shorter and I'm not a fan of the ruched in the middle of the dress.

The .357max is definately a bad boy. The up side is it'll also fire .357mag and .38spl. Be careful of the cylinder latch on your new revolver, DW's weak link. Photos?

I never heard of DW having any problem at all with the cylinder latch. In fact it is a superior design to smith and ruger's lockup. It is very strong.

Best I can do from my phone camera. I guess slots in barrel are to reduce weight for silhouette competition; wish it did not have them.

Sweet find! I love my Dan Wessons and have always been intrigued by the 357 Max. I too have never heard of any issues with the latch, other than I've had the retaining screw come out before. Nothing a little locktite can't fix.
Enjoy. If it's like every one I've ever shot, it should be a great shooter. |

I learned early on, the hard way, to check the cylinder latch competence of DW revolvers. We do this by dropping the revolver on it's right side from about 6 inches onto a non marring surface such as a publication. You'd be surprised how many DW cylinders will just pop right open with this test. These revolvers are in need of repair. On the other hand I have never been able to get a S&W, Ruger or Colt revolver to fail this test. So, just to clarify, I believe the DW cylinder latch is superior for accuracy but inferior for duribility.

Not an issue with this one, it has hardly been used.
Went to the range, boy those max loads have a lot of muzzle blast! Too much for an indoor range. Shoots darn well though. Shot some +p .38 Blazer,very nice groups! Went back to academy for more but it was all gone. Should have hogged up the whole lot of it. |

Never seen a DW open up and been shooting them for 36 years.
kcub Nice trade. Now your ready for shillouette matchs?? Talk to EWKarms and see if you can get what you want for a shroud of his design and check out starline brass for the 360DW brass. Its easier to find a quality load data with it than the max brass. Sent some info to you. |

Beer. And lots of it. That's what can be expected this Saturday at the Four Peaks Randomonium beer fest at Tempe Beach Park. Starting at 11 a.m., for 12 straight hours, enjoy locally brewed beers, live entertainment, music and food. Now we know we previously told you about the fest, but what we didn't tell you was that Four Peaks has an announcement, something to make all of us Arizonans proud.
The Brewers Association, a not-for-profit trade group based in Boulder, CO, has recently released their list for the top 50 Craft Breweries in the U.S. Guess what? Our beloved Four Peaks has made the cut. Honestly we're not surprised our beloved local brewery made the list.
Four Peaks has gained national notoriety as of late as a result of numerous high profile events like Arizona Beer Week, Four Peaks Kilt Fest and Four Peaks Randomonium, and through securing multiple top honors at the annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO.

Well the bases are just quickly-made too : sand glued to them, not even painted (usually I'd make at least a wash then a dry-brush), just "dipped" with the mini, then, after the varnish spray, I apply a few patches of PVA and stuff static grass on them (whick looks glossy here because of the flash).
I don't know how it looked back in those days around Hadrian's wall. When I visited a fort there a few years ago, the grass did look like a putting green, thanks to the sheep. Well except that on a putting green you don't see those brown pebbles

Central music department hosts guest performers
PELLA — The Central College Symphonic Wind Ensemble and College Community Band, both under the direction of Mitchell Lutch, associate professor of music, will present a concert with several special guest soloists at 4 p.m. Sunday in Douwstra Auditorium.
The ensembles will perform with Central alumnus and saxophonist James Skretta, who is completing his doctorate in saxophone performance at the University of Iowa. Guest performers from Merida, Yucatan, will be Maestro Luis Luna, conductor of the Yucatan Youth Symphonic Band, and three very talented student members: clarinetist Alejandro Chi González, percussionist Edoardo Ceballos and saxophonist Maria José Chi González.
A native of Iowa, Skretta received a bachelor's in music education from Central, where he studied saxophone with Cynthia Doggett, associate professor of music. He then earned a master's in music from the University of Iowa. As a soloist, he is a two-time winner of the Central College concerto competition and has performed in Dr. Eugene Rousseau's prestigious International Saxophone Master Class.

GOING DEEP: Omega showed off its environmental side last week when the watch company's president Stephen Urquhart visited United Nations headquarters and Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to host a screening of Planet Ocean, a documentary about the state of the world's oceans directed by environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film, which is narrated by actor Josh Duhamel, uses aerial and underwater photography to highlight the dangers that threaten the oceans and the planet.
"When Omega presented me with the Planet Ocean project, I accepted almost immediately; it was time to look at things directly, to illustrate and to denounce the dangers threatening our oceans and therefore our planet. This documentary is not intended to moralize, but rather to raise consciousness," Arthus-Bertrand said.

Art in the Park Sculpture unveiling and Artist Reception
Starts: May 3 2013 - 4:30pm
Ends: May 3 2013 - 9:01pm
"Art in the Park" Artist Reception
GARDINER, Maine – The "Art in the Park" program, entering its fourth year, will feature a woven twig sculpture by artist Susan Perrine. The sculpture will be unveiled in Johnson Park on Water Street, May 3rd at 5:00pm, as part of the Gardiner Artwalk, and will be displayed through October. The public is invited to a reception beginning at 4:30pm at Circling the Square Fine Art Press before the unveiling at 5pm that will kick off the Artwalk which begins at 5:30pm.
Susan began weaving twig sculpture as a way to teach weaving on a large scale. Susan Perrine's work reflects on her connection to the natural environment. She states, "I grew up on a farm and have always spent a lot of time outdoors, walking the fields and woods near home. I try to use methods and materials to reflect the connection I feel towards the natural environment." Susan will be showing at Artwalk after the reception in the park where her sculpture will reside.
The public will have an opportunity to participate in the actual construction of the piece, which will be made from locally sourced materials. Perrine uses her sculptures to teach about the art and craft of weaving at many different scales. Her twig structures are an easy way to demonstrate how simple materials, when aligned carefully can create useful and beautiful works of art. The public build will take place on Saturday, April 27th, from 11am-1pm.
"Art in the Park" is provided by a grant from the Harry Faust art Fund and is supported by the City of Gardiner , Gardiner Main Street, and the Maine Arts Commission. "This year's sculpture is incredibly unique in its form and materials. This program allows us to encourage discussion about the arts and the importance of an active downtown," says Patrick Wright, Executive Director of Gardiner Main Street.

Statistics Last Updated: 4/7/10 23:59:59 (UTC) [1 hour(s) ago] TechPowerUp! 2,245,522 Good job everyone
Guys, tomorrow morning when I go to work, both rigs have to be shut off. They will resume working on the apt. so I need to cover up my furniture if I want to save it When I return home I'll power both rigs back on. EDIT: Both rigs are back up
eVGA found 'a' problem with my board.. One of them. It apparently was physically damaged by the person that owned it before myself. So.. I'm required to pay for the repair. My C0 will be back up sometime next week. P.S. I broke 100,000 today!!
Good job bro Good luck with the board. Here are the #'s for today, sooooo close! Statistics Last Updated: 4/8/10 23:59:59 (UTC) [4 hour(s) ago] TechPowerUp! 2,399,106
hopefully we can break 2.4M this weekend again. I have some extra "horsepower" crunching this weekend. Temporary Weekend Horsepower = 2 x Xeon E5420 | 2 x Xeon E5430 | Core i7 980X Total Extra Threads = 28 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cruncher #1 - Core i7 965 | #2 - 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 | #3 - Core i7 920 | #4 - Core i7 870 | #5 - Core i7 860 | #6 - Core i5 750 | #7 - Core 2 Quad Q9450 | #8 - Core 2 Quad Q9400 | Total Threads - 52 Total HDD Space - 45TB Total Power Draw - INSANE!!!
My rig should be crunching pretty hard this weekend. As I'm busy with family junk/going to see that new Dragons movie. (Don't ask me, the GF is dragging me to it.)
Sadly my points today were crap. had to shut the rig down to prep for Monday/clean it out/get away from the Lauren's Aunt. God I hate that lady. She's "well" off, on husband number 5, so she thinks she can talk down to us because we aren't. It's bullshit. Anyways, hoping for better points tomorrow, as I will be seeing a movie/fighting off what seems to be a cold I caught today. Also, my points on Monday will be a bit off, as I have to shut my rig down to install 4 more fans, a black 120mm fan grill, and remount my Zalman. The good news is that my rig will be crunching at 100% from then on.
Mine were down too, had some internet options so my Phenom rig didn't upload anything for about a day, my i7 didn't upload anything for about two days. However, now my i7 can't connect to BOINC. I'll leave it overnight see if it gets going if not I'll deal with it in the morning. 4am and I need some rest!
I've registered under techpowerup with the specs in system specs list. The phenom 2 is unlocked to quad and running at 2.8ghz, undervolted from 1.35v to 1.25v. It's only running on the stock cooler so don't want temps to go up too high. I'm trying to save up for a better cooler. Running folding @ home on the GTX260.
Woke up this morning and saw the LCD poster showing temps of 50 on my x58 EVGA board so I know it's crunching. When I see low 20's or low 30's I know it's not crunching Welcome aboard Nick, thanks for joining. Check out the below link, it has everything you need to know. Let us know if we can help in any way WCG Essentials Thread Speaking from experience heh?
ION, you have over 12k points today bro, did you add any rigs? 9,626 of those points came from a single rig

text: Home Culture Black Economic Growth Is Hard in the Big Easy Despite their strong influence over the culture and celebratory spirit of New Orleans, blacks still cling to the lower rungs of the city's narrow, often wobbly economic ladder. Here's why. By: Neela Banerjee Posted: Aug. 22 2010 1:22 PM 0 Getty Images To hear locals tell it, black wealth in New Orleans is an oxymoron. Before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and the levees broke, it was one of the poorest cities in the United States, a grim burden borne disproportionately by blacks. Five years later, little has changed except for the dispiriting fact that the city's small black elite and middle class, which were just starting to grow in the 1990s, were pushed back nearly to square one. As it stands, the gap between black and white income is deep and wide. In 2008, 43 percent of black households in New Orleans made less than $22,458 a year, compared with 18 percent of white families, according to the August 2010 report, "The New Orleans Index at Five: Measuring Greater New Orleans' Progress Toward Prosperity." On the other end of the scale, only 15 percent of black households made more than $67,000, while 45 percent of white families did. The numbers highlight the stubbornness of New Orleans' economic realities for blacks. Despite the vast contributions by African Americans to the city's unique music, food, celebrations and culture, they have historically been shut out of economic opportunity and upward mobility. Like blacks in Atlanta, New Orleanians have amassed political power. But unlike their Georgian counterparts, New Orleans' blacks have not moved in great numbers into the middle and upper-class. In 2010, New Orleans' population is gradually ticking upward, including African Americans. But many blacks simply can't afford to return to the city in the wake of Katrina; those who have returned face a landscape with limited options. "For middle-income people, it's still a challenge for survival," says Silas Lee, a sociologist, pollster and professor of public policy at Xavier University of Louisiana. "You have more stagnation than upward mobility. People either leave or get dispirited. There's a sense of morale being depleted. People don't have the confidence that dreams can be achieved." Lee's consulting business makes him a third-generation New Orleans entrepreneur. His parents had the city's only black-owned haberdashery. During segregation, prosperous blacks were largely doctors, lawyers, teachers, ministers and small-business owners. Large industry and economic infrastructure stayed in the hands of whites. That changed little over the years. Lee and others point out that behind New Orleans' mask of celebratory culture and even outrageousness, the city is adamantly conservative, socially and economically. Even now, people keep their distance and their place, he says. Generations of general economic stagnation in New Orleans stem largely from an undiversified economy, experts like Hill and Lee say. Cotton ruled for a long time, then oil, then tourism. When blue-collar jobs began drying up about 30 years ago, so did economic opportunities for many African Americans. The docks, while active, are increasingly automated. The shipyards have shrunk. Blacks do find work in the tourism industry, but it pays much less than oil industry jobs, where they have far less of a foothold. Blacks who have started their own businesses over the last 30 years benefited from winning government contracts directed at "DBEs," or disadvantaged business enterprises. But the process failed to create the wealth amongst local blacks or to attract African Americans from elsewhere like the opportunities created in Atlanta. The DBE system was also marred by charges of corruption and cronyism. The new mayor, Mitch Landrieu, announced an overhaul of the DBE process to make it more transparent and, blacks hope, more effective at including them. Katrina dealt a blow to African Americans of all classes in the Crescent City. Despite the tens of millions of dollars in reconstruction money that flowed to the Gulf Coast, black businesses have seen little of it, Hill says. Laws regarding minimum wages and minority set-asides were suspended for a time, to expedite the process, leaving black-owned companies and construction tradespeople out in the cold.

Michigan football's 2013 recruiting class ranked No. 1 in country by Scout
The Michigan football team kicked off its 2013 recruiting class by securing a commitment from blue-chip quarterback Shane Morris on May 10, 2011.
Three days shy of a year later, the class is the best in the country according to Scout.
Happy anniversary.
The Wolverines are the first team other than Texas to earn the top spot in Scout's initial team rankings. They were followed this year by the Longhorns, with Texas A&M, Ohio State and Notre Dame rounding out the top five.
Other Big Ten teams to make the top 20 include Penn State (12th), Nebraska (17th) and Michigan State (20th).
But the Wolverines clearly are the cream of the crop at this early point.
Their class has grown to 17 commits, the most in the country. Morris, ranked among the top five quarterbacks according to each of the major services, remains the headliner. He's No. 3 according to Scout.
The strength of the class, though, is the guys charged with protecting him.
Patrick Kugler is considered by Scout as the No. 1 guard in the country. Another guard, David Dawson, is No. 1 in the country according to ESPN.
Guard Chris Fox and tackles Logan Tuley-Tillman and Kyle Bosch round out a five-man group that is currently the best in the nation.
The overall class has a distinct Midwestern flavor, with eight commits hailing from Ohio and another five from Michigan. Of the four remaining commits, only Fox (Parker, Colo.) resides outside of Big Ten country.
Michigan averages 4.06 stars per recruit according to Scout, the best in the Big Ten.

Skype for Mac with video coming up — but don't use the buggy version
Video support for Skype for Mac will be one of our major acts this year. You can tell that by just taking a look at our various blog posts and the comments here, especially in the Mac blog. Whatever we post, we have people asking "WHERE IS VIDEO FOR SKYPE FOR MAC? GIMME SKYPE FOR MAC WITH VIDEO." It's great to see this much interest and we'll surely meet it by bringing you a fine video version with the superb quality you've grown to expect from Skype.
Among all the excitement, we recently learned that there is an early development version of Skype for Mac with video floating around some warez sites. What you need to know about this version is that it is an internal unstable development version, and thus it is extremely buggy. It may and will destroy your contacts and other data. It is completely unsupported and if you experience problems due to using this version, you're on your own. The only way to make sure you're getting the correct and official version of Skype is to download it directly from skype.com, or from the pages of one of our official [partners](http://about.skype.com/partners.html).
Another thing worth noting about the video part is that the version going around is two months old, and thus is definitely not the "latest and greatest" that you'll see once we release it. It's not yet ready for primetime, but will be soon. It sounds old, but please bear with us. Not much longer to go.
Here's a screenshot of an actual video call with Skype for Mac.

We've been patient for a long time. I appreciate EBay's users are probably Windows sorts. Unfortunately, Mac users tend to be a little more willing to explore new things than Windows users. Continuing to ask us to be patient with nice pictures and zero feedback on when we might be able to even join a beta program means things like Wengophone start actually looking interesting.
I'm sure (like most companies) you have confidense in the superiority of your service, offerings, etc. over any competition. Unfortunately, I'm the customer, and it's my opinion of your service that counts. I'm feeling massively underserved.
ronald_poi said 7 years ago
It's really good to read Skype is launching a new version with real new features. For me, Universal Binaries wasn't enough, but this seems to be a mayor step. Now it's time to wait patiently. Just a question, though, the video… will be H.264?…
themaccast said 7 years ago
Will there also be Mac support for SkypeCasts?
I agree to some degree with stephen. Before Skype was purchased by eBay it seemed you were pretty good about releasing Mac updates not far behind the Windows ones (although VoiceMail support did take a while). Now we have seen many new features rolled out on Windows and are playing the catch-up game again. I hope you appreciate how frustrating this can be. We don't ever seem to be invited to the party.

1.000.000.000.000 thanks… YES YES… Great THX for the Skype Mac team, that's a reallllllllllly great and gooooooood NEWS. ;o)

Thanks for your answer akelsall. I always use On2 on my FLV movies with FlashPlayer… is a high-quality codec! =)

I'd really like to see a release of Skype for Mac with video (Universal) before mid-July, 2006. I've been waiting for ages for a better Mac version, since I got my Mac Mini G4 in December with an iSight. Long and gone now, I'm now on a MacBook Pro 17″ with 2GB DDR, and am looking forward to Skype with video for Mac, because I feel left behind. Face it, there are 15 million accounted for Mac users, and recent statistics of computer buying habits show a huge increase on purchases of Apple computers, with the recent Intel transition. I myself, don't feel like I'm lacking applications on the new Intel system, but Skype is pretty much the one thing I'd really like to see with video, and soon. I'd gladly do internal or public testing of the Skype for Mac video beta. Just send an e-mail to the address associated with my Skype profile. Have a good day.
ezungu said 7 years ago
Echoing all that have said this before me, this is great news! Now, instead of hearing news about it, I'd much rather be downloading it. It's been long enough, now get that sucker released!
xentrik526 said 7 years ago
Thanks so much for your continuing hard work on getting more innovative features for Mac users… I do hope, since we've been waiting this long, that a nice, stable, Universal binary comes out that let's us video-chat with cross-platform Skype users. I'd like to be able to see my family in New York while Skyping them from South Korea in late August!
wonsore said 7 years ago
well.this works well on my PB12
only crashed once.
michaelprovence said 7 years ago
Thank for the great news hope we don't wait another 6 monthes ?? Be careful because you are not alone in this market !! wengophone is pushing hard and release new beta everymonth for mac, yahoo for mac just come back after a long sleep with a much better product !
I just hope that the mac skype team won't get any summer vacation before release something for us !!!! -
jschwage said 7 years ago
I'm glad to hear this. Now all we need is video on Linux. Although I'm glad to see a beta was finally released for Linux, it's still quite a bit behind the Windows and Mac versions.
juan_pin4 said 7 years ago
For those not patient enough …. I found it …
search for skype_BETA.dmg in emule… not many sources but i'm dowloading
thank you skype… reallly thank you……. -
xentrik526 said 7 years ago
juan_pin4, I believe Jaanus made it clear how we should stay away from the copies floating around the net. Those not patient enough to wait a little while longer (hopefully, Skype I'm really dishing you a lot of credit on this one) for a stable Mac version … will not be patient enough to rebuild their contacts or even restore their hard drive if they find the buggy emule version destroys their Mac.
so download it and let us know how long it will take you to restore your computer. and Wonsore, if it crashed once, it can happen again… and again…
Tegosaurus said 7 years ago
xentrik526: the official version also crashed on my MacBook Pro before, does that mean I shouldn't use it? No, crashes happen for a multitude of reasons, a one-time or rare crash doesn't have to scare you.
And no, I am not trying that beta cause I hope just like you we don't have to wait much longer anymore for a stable version. Windows Skype is at 2.5… Mac almost at 1.5… Glad we are not Linux users, they are even further behind. -
neverfound said 7 years ago
So many people are waitig for a new mac version with video. The "unstable" beta came out, whow what a hype.
One warning is OK, but this should be all. Aren´t we all Beta testers? Look at OSX, shareware, freeware. Do a backup, test it or let it be.
Move the energy to develop more Betas for Mac User.
Will I have to be a XP User to get Video support?
OH NO!!! Give us VIDEO and let us test it for YOU …
PS. I understand your way of stable versions, but the actual version is not stable too
howard_steiner said 7 years ago
Forget Mac Video for a moment ….. the Skype Forum is chuck full of people whose video worked fine in version 2.0, but has quit working in 2.5. It would be nice if someone from skype were to recognize this in an announcement and let us know that our forum posts aren't falling on deaf ears. The polls show 50% of users of 2.5 no longer have operative video!!
ran_an said 7 years ago
god, please, release the new video skype for mac, can't wait !!!!!!
And, another thing, is the XP 2.5 version have better technology than mac 2.0 ???????
chaweon_koo said 7 years ago
Currently, I use SightSpeed (google it to download the software) for video when talking to my Windows friends. Of course, iChat is great for Mac-to-Mac video.
Skype – please realize that Mac users are often the first ones to adopt new technology. We tend to be loyal to those companies who are receptive to our needs.
lightenup_24_7 said 7 years ago
Skype is great, but please hurry up with the Mac video support!
Some of my family lives in Europe and the rest in US. My sister and I, both Mac users, can't join in with our webcams. It's frustrating.
oldkerosen said 7 years ago
actually it works quite well on PPC systems if you delete before installing your previous skype settings/*.plist. I had no crash with that "very unstable, buggy" version and did a lot of video conferencing. finally.
kennedychung said 7 years ago
It just feels WONDERRRRFULLLL~~~
While MSN and ICQ seem have already given up the market for Mac users, we still have a new Video Skype for MAC!!!
However, what I concern the most is the support for webcams. I believe many of us use iSight, will the new coming version have iSight support?
martinizi said 7 years ago
Dont you huys even have a deadline? I've been waiting for this for so long! Finally I can cyber with my PC-using girls! Oh, one more thing.. Will I be able to use SMS with my skypeout in this version? my money kind of just sits there
I hope to see this new version very soon!
Shardo said 7 years ago
I can,t wait to see the skype version with video.
I think ist a matter off days now.
Thanks to the skype mac team. -
martinizi said 7 years ago
Im waaaaiting! The end of July is coming soon. I want it I want it! I saw somewhere that skype needed mac programmers… I hope they've got them so they can finnish up this one! I will be ever greatful when it gets released!
What about the beta community? Is there nowhere we can help? Is it nothing we can do?
flash_liam said 7 years ago
it looks like it's almost been a month since this posting…. so how much longer are we going to have to wait? Are we talking days here or months?
yatheen said 7 years ago
Great News…!! Skype team.. We all mac user have lot of respect for you.. Yahoo! is very backward in features compaired to PC version. With this support we will be able to do video chat with our PC buddy We all love you…
tokyodanny said 7 years ago
It works! I have been using this "very unstable, buggy" version with NO PROBLEMS on a PowerBook G4. Delete all of your previous Skype settings, .plist and all before installing.
vkotal said 7 years ago
I wonder what will be the hardware requirements for Skype w/ video for Mac. Will I be able to use it with my iBook G3 500MHz. What USB cam should I use ? (do not want to buy iSight)
chuxhowsnyc said 7 years ago
I'm more than happy to try this beta version until the final version is released.I'm a mac user in a sea of pc users and would love to video conference with family and friends.I've used other applications aim,ivisit( even paid for pro) but unfortunately it has been quite disappointing.So I say full speed ahead and good luck.

What would you do if your teenager told you she was going to join the Mormon church? That question hadn't occurred to me, but a new book on raising teenagers, Like, Whatever, has given me a new perspective on how to make faith, and questioning it, a bigger part of our family life.
That's just one of the surprising finds in this parenting book, which I came across via the suburban mom mafia, having met editor Rebecca Kahlenberg through another journalist mom at my daughter's preschool. Rebecca's the experienced mother of four, ages 19 through 6, but she says that she learned new tricks in the process of editing the book—including the science of why it's critical that kids get at least 100 hours of driving practice with a parent in the car before heading off on their own, which she's now in the midst of with her 15-year-old.
The book's chapters are written by parents, and in the first person, but it's heavily researched, with many of the writers being experts, not just moms and dads. It's also surprisingly upbeat, considering that it tackles tough subjects like drinking, drugs, sex, and discipline. "It's an optimistic look at raising teens," says Kahlenberg. "Looking at the magic and the mystery as well as the occasional misery. This is a time in kids' lives when you still have a big influence on them. Peers and media are also important, but you're still the parent." Some highlights:
- Wondering how to explain why you aren't going to pop for a $150 pair of jeans? Janet Bodnar, author of the book Raising Money Smart Kids, tells in the money chapter how she went on Oprah and showed a family how to use Monopoly money to give their kids a grasp of where the money goes. The pile of family cash going to federal and state withholding taxes was a big surprise to the free-spending teenagers.
- The majority of teenagers say a spiritual life is important to them, but many parents shy away from talking about religion. Ann Cochran writes about how as a born-again Christian (who had been raised Catholic), she came to terms with her son's decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- You can evaluate whether your child is really ready to learn to drive by considering their physical coordination, attention span, and level of maturity. If you think they're not ready, do nothing. Phil Berardelli, the author of Safe Young Drivers: A Guide for Parents and Teens, points out that every state in the union has laws that require parents to sign off before a child under age 18 can get a license.
- Move the TV out of the kid's bedroom if you have a hard time prying them away. Another simple way to limit screen time: Don't buy a game system until the kid is 16, says Dana Kornfeld, a pediatrician in Bethesda, Md. By then, she says, teenagers are old enough to handle the excitement of gaming without disappearing from the real world.
"Don't just try to survive," says Kahlenberg. "Make the most of these years."

Chris Stewart, of Farmington, won just over the required 60 percent of delegate votes at Saturday's Utah Republican Convention to avoid a primary.
He was one of 11 Republican candidates for the reconfigured seat, which now stretches from "a few blocks" in Kaysville south into northern parts of Salt Lake City and then leap-frogs around the state, involving 14 counties, including Washington at the far south.
"We feel our nation is at a tipping point," Stewart said as to why he decided to run.

I am currently looking at a 3 % rate without buying a point. Are there better rates out there for a 15 year fixed loan. Thanks | |||
Might be, but that sounds pretty darn good. Depends on the state you are refinancing or purchasing in? And most important your credit scores must be very high. I would certainly not buy down for a point at that rate. | ||||

SOURCE Temple University
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Temple's 10th president, Neil D. Theobald, laid out his vision to make the university more affordable, more entrepreneurial and more engaged with the city of Philadelphia. The president's pioneering plan for the nearly 130-year-old university came during his inaugural address on Oct. 18.
Speaking to a packed house in the historic Baptist Temple, Theobald affirmed the university's commitment to being diverse, international and excellent in teaching. He also announced a $50 million initiative for stronger research programs aimed at improving the lives of those in the city, the state and the nation.
Standing in the renovated building that was once the church of university founder Russell Conwell, Theobald recalled that Temple was created to help those who could not afford an education - a risky experiment at a time when college educations were primarily for the wealthy.
"Conwell's great experiment -- at its core, an experiment in democracy -- can only succeed if Temple University remains the place where the nation's middle-class has access to a quality, affordable education," said Theobald. "We must reinvigorate the Conwell legacy in order to create success in our students, our city, our Commonwealth and our nation."
With Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke, and the presidents of more than a dozen other local colleges and universities listening, Theobald characterized Temple as a leader on a new frontier, an urban landscape filled with opportunity and challenge.
He then laid out six commitments to ensure Temple's success.
First, the university must focus on its students and their financial needs.
"Simply put, the most important problem facing higher education in America today is the level and distribution of student loan debt," he said. "If we don't immediately attack debt levels they will seriously limit the capacity of the next generation to establish its independence.
"Graduates with high debt put off buying homes. They delay getting married and having families. They lack mobility and become overly cautious in taking risks," he explained.
Temple has taken decisive measures in recent years, bucking national trends, he said. For example, Temple kept base tuition increases to an average of 1.5 percent over the last two years. "Few universities can make that claim," the president said.
More help is on the way. Theobald said he will soon announce a pact with new students that "will be a guarantee of affordability and a model for higher education in the United States."
In his second commitment, Theobald pledged to work tirelessly on behalf of the university's faculty, whose quality teaching does not get the attention it deserves. "What our faculty need most is for the world to appreciate the extraordinary work they do," he said.
Third, the president pledged a more active engagement with the city of Philadelphia, proclaiming "Temple is Philadelphia's public university." He said there are strong links between the university and the city, noting that one of seven college graduates in the Philadelphia region is a Temple alumnus.
Theobald pledged to help Philadelphia with its most vexing problems by harnessing "the expertise, creativity and energy of our faculty, researchers and students in this cause." The first issue to be broached is the funding problems facing the K-12 education in the city and the state.
The president's fourth commitment was to enhance the university's ability to conduct pioneering research. "We then must transfer these discoveries to the marketplace as never before," which would enhance the city's economy, he said.
Theobald announced that Temple's board of trustees has backed this initiative by allocating $50 million over five years to boost the university's research enterprise.
"This investment will be used to attract faculty in promising areas, build new capacity and expand the impact of our scholarship," he said. "The people of this city and this Commonwealth will lead better lives because of Temple's research."
Theobald's fifth commitment was an articulation of what Temple's student body should be: diverse and international.
"Living here on the urban frontier allows Temple to seamlessly embrace its commitment to the power of diversity," he said. "Homogeneity is a death sentence in the modern world."
The sixth and final commitment is to advance innovation and entrepreneurship across the entire university.
"Our students must learn to adapt to constant change and find success in fields that have not yet been invented," he said. Teaching entrepreneurship across all disciplines will help Temple students "feel empowered to take charge of their destinies."
He concluded by recounting his personal experience. Theobald was the first member of his middle-class family to get a college degree. That experience transformed his life, and put him on the path to Temple's presidency.
Theobald then urged the entire Temple community to join with him to "create a future full of promise on the new urban frontier."

text: Home Politics The Turn of the Tide: Clinton's DNC Speech The former president's defense of Obama inspires a passionate believer in the Democratic agenda. By: Lawrence D. Bobo Posted: Sept. 6 2012 1:57 PM 0 Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call/Getty Images (The Root) -- You gotta believe! President Bill Clinton, simply put, threw down last night at the Democratic National Convention. I say this as someone often troubled by his role in the 2008 presidential campaign. Right now what I can tell you is that, with remarkable eloquence and authority and the right dose of Arkansas folksy charm, Clinton lifted the spirits of Democrats nationwide. More than that, he drew a clear road map for how Obama and other Democrats should now go about mobilizing the base and reaching out to undecided and independent voters. For weeks, if not months, there have been doubts and deep worry among liberals about the prospects for Democrats and President Obama in 2012. To be sure, there is still every sign that this will be a hard-fought and close election contest. But after the first two nights of the Democratic convention, I feel more energized and much more optimistic. First and foremost, Clinton articulated the core values that guided his own presidency and that equally informed Obama's first term. This agenda calls for a focus on the middle class; a commitment to responsibility and work; and investment in the foundations of middle-class growth and well-being, such as education and economic innovation. And the agenda means a consistent commitment to economic policies and a tax system that are fair, not dysfunctionally and divisively tilted toward the interests of the wealthy and powerful. He reminded us that we are all in this together. In addition, he spelled out the fundamental flaws in the Republican strategy to this point. He deftly called out the astonishingly fact-free quality of Republican claims against Obama. With one word he debunked the Romney-Ryan budget and deficit-reduction plans: arithmetic! And he made clear that it is fair -- indeed, essential -- that Republicans be held accountable for the proposals and policies of the hard-right coalition that now dominates the party and its agenda. Among these positions are the ending of abortion rights, the ending of health care reform, renewed tax breaks for the wealthy and a host of other steps backward. Perhaps most important, Clinton addressed head-on the key Republican charge against Obama: namely, that he hasn't improved the economy. As Clinton put it, "No president ... could have repaired the damage in just four years." There is little doubt that we are in a better position now than when Obama took office in January 2009. As Clinton pointed out, since 2010 we have been slowly, steadily digging out of the massive financial collapse of 2008. It is inarguably true that too many people are still without work or desperately struggling to make ends meet. But it is not credible to argue, as Clinton noted, that Romney's plan to "double-down on trickle-down" economics will do anything but make a hard situation worse and undo the progress we have made under President Obama. And God bless Bill Clinton's candor and unique skill at raising tough issues while keeping everybody listening. Clinton put on the table not only the obstructionist behavior of Republican members of Congress but also raised the fundamentally hateful character of how a large and now dominant segment of the Republican Party has dealt with President Obama. The people dictating the GOP's platform and posture in Congress have a mean-spirited, no-compromise, the-good-of-America-be-damned-so-long-as-we-win-and-the-Democrats-especially-Barack Obama-lose attitude. Surely most Americans will eventually recoil against this bitter, endless conflict and take-no-prisoners style of politics. And Clinton made the case for why Obama's continuing openness to working with Republicans is not weakness but, rather, the very stuff of doing the business of the American people in the right way. It is time that other Democrats and indeed the mainstream media recognize the truth and wisdom of Clinton's message: Politics in a democracy can be "an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest," not merely the position of one party.
