Although the clip was interesting to not only watch, bit clear information was given.
However, the side splitting laughter occurred when the credits rolled at the end of the clip.
Watch the clip, especially the credit roll and read the sentence about particle abuse . . I hope the clip producers were having some fun, but if it's a serious statement mandated by some authority, then I strongly suggest that somebody in charge needs to take a long vacation.
The narrator's voice travels almost at the speed of the particles in the collider.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this1). Energy of Avogadro number of Curie photon or NAф photon at a distance of 1 meter is important. This is 165 Mev. If this distance consider as 1 cm, then we get 1.65 Tev. The CERN going to estimate the mass of Higgs particle and announced that mass of Higgs particle near by 126 Gev or 0.126 Tev [1]. My calculated value is about 13 times larger than the experimental value, though 126 Gev is not confirmed.
2). During experiment, different type of mass of particles will be observed into the CERN equipments. When energy will differ, then the mass will differ. But there is a good relation between one to next particle. All sub-atomic particles, quarks are interrelated. Its relation will depend on the CURIE Particle which is unknown to scientific world. The energy of Curie particle is 165 Mev. The mass of Graviton particle is too small than a photon particle. Graviton particle is responsible to give birth a photon particle. Again, graviton particle is creating from black particles, so, in our universe, all stars, galaxies, particles are interrelated. All facts are written in the book Complete Unified Theory (Pages- 424, 1998).

Somebody should tell the webmaster that the video is broken
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisSomeone might think "no particles were harmed" could be serious?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisTwo gluons collide to create two gluons and two more particles? It seems the two particles would combine and annihilate each other so that the quantity of entities before and after collusions remains same. But if they do not combine then we have a way of splitting "nothingness" into two "somethings".
(-- two 'opposite' somethings)
I liked the video and the explanation, but someone should tell Rose Eveleth that talking so fast detracts, not adds, to the appeal. A more measured and more natural speaking cadence would allow the viewer to absorb more of the message. As it is a good schematic diagram and cartoon is wasted with the distraction of speed talking.

Best Late Night Jokes of the Week – 05/17/13
Posted by Steve Yeich | Posted in Jokes | Posted on 17-05-2013
Tags: best late night jokes, Conan O'Brien jokes, Craig Ferguson jokes, David Letterman jokes, Jay Leno jokes, Jimmy Fallon jokes, Jimmy Kimmel jokes, jokes about Obama, late night comedians jokes, late night humor
Here are the best jokes of the week from the late night comedians including Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, David Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon:
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings. For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list. They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didn't like. Thank God those days are gone forever. –Jay Leno
A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon, which is unfair. Nixon's unemployment rate was only 5 percent. –Jay Leno
This whole IRS thing has become a huge story. They apparently were targeting conservative groups like the tea party. You know it's bad when President Obama says, "Hey, why don't we talk about Benghazi?" –Jay Leno
The National Aquarium in Washington is going to close. But don't worry. If you're in D.C. and you still want to smell something fishy, stop by the White House. They've gone from "Change you can believe in" to "Changing the story until you believe it." –Jay Leno
In a new interview, Joe Biden says he spends four or five hours every day with President Obama. In response, Obama said hiring that Obama impersonator was the best decision he's ever made. –Conan O'Brien
Since President Obama took office, the Democratic Party has lost nine governorships, 56 members of Congress, and two Senate seats. In his defense, Obama said, "Well, I did promise change." –Conan O'Brien
China announced it will no longer buy recycled trash from the U.S. I don't have a joke here. I'd just like to give a round of applause to whatever genius has been selling trash to China. –Conan O'Brien
O.J. Simpson was in court this week trying to overturn his conviction on armed robbery and kidnapping. O.J. said, "I'm tired of everyone thinking of me as a robber and kidnapper and forgetting what a great murderer I am." –Conan O'Brien
Have you folks been paying attention to what's going on in Washington? In a matter of six weeks we have three big scandals, and it looks like President Obama and all his buddies in the White House may go to prison. Finally, some good news for the Romney campaign. –David Letterman
People always say this to me: "Hey, Letterman," they say. "Why don't you make jokes about Obama?" All right, I'll tell you why. I don't make jokes about him because I don't want the FBI tapping my phone, that's why. –David Letterman
They see Benghazi as a real powder keg. This scandal, they believe, may go as high as Dennis Rodman. –David Letterman
Here's the problem. When you get scandals in Washington — like the IRS, Benghazi, and the FBI — it really gets in the way of not getting things done. If they don't fix these crises pretty soon, honest to God, it could bring gridlock to a screeching halt. –David Letterman
The Cannes Film Festival was yesterday. Everyone who's anyone in show business is in France right now. "But Craig, you're here in Los Angeles." Exactly. I'm lower on the show business ladder than Justin Bieber's monkey. –Craig Ferguson
The Germans are like, "No, Bieber. We are keeping your monkey. It is never leaving Germany again. This Bieber monkey is the new Hasselhoff of Germany. –Craig Ferguson
Every year there's a jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Getting on the jury is very competitive in France. Not because the French love cinema, but because they love to judge. –Craig Ferguson
O.J. Simpson took the witness stand. He's serving up to 33 years on armed robbery, assault, and kidnapping charges. He won't be eligible for parole until 2017 and who knows if we'll have even have "Dancing With the Stars" by then. –Jimmy Kimmel
The most notable thing to come out of the trial is that O.J. has put on a lot of weight in prison. I think he found the real killers and ate them. –Jimmy Kimmel
He's hoping if he's granting a retrial they'll let him serve the remainder of his sentence under Waffle House arrest. –Jimmy Kimmel
President Obama is not having a good week. With three scandals shaking the White House, they're saying this is one of the worst weeks of Obama's presidency. Obama was like, "How could things get worse?" And Joe Biden was like, "You rang?" –Jimmy Fallon
A town in Minnesota has appointed a 4-year-old boy to be its mayor. People got pretty annoyed when he said his first plan was "waising taxes." –Jimmy Fallon
Next season "Dancing With the Stars" will be cut back from two nights a week to just one — while "American Idol" will be cut back from two nights a week to a puppet show at Ryan Seacrest's house. –Jimmy Fallon
The heat wave is continuing. There are warnings this could be a long, hot summer and they are telling everyone to cover up. Believe me. You don't have to tell the Obama White House twice. They know all about covering up. –Jay Leno
Today the White House unveiled its latest high-tech weapon: the IRS audit. –Jay Leno
I love what IRS commissioner Steve Miller said today about this whole targeting conservative groups thing. He said, "Mistakes were made, but they were in no way made with a political or partisan motivation." Yeah, "Mistakes were made" — try saying THAT during your next IRS audit. –Jay Leno
First it was Benghazi, then the IRS scandal, and now this phone records scandal. Remember the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden? What happened to those days? –Jay Leno
President Obama's right in the middle of three scandals. The IRS ratting out people it doesn't like. Benghazi, number two. And they say Obama has been phone tapping the AP. So three big scandals. Here's what I prefer: Weiner and Spitzer. Now those are scandals my writers can really work with. –David Letterman
OJ Simpson is back in court. He's gained weight. Apparently the only knife OJ has been using lately is the butter knife. –David Letterman
Remember: If the pants don't fit, you must acquit. –David Letterman
It was just revealed that the Department of Justice secretly recorded the phone calls of AP journalists for two months. Obama promised reporters that the incident will be immediately investigated — by the Department of Justice. –Jimmy Fallon
The founder of Spanx announced that she is giving away half of her fortune to charity. She told her family, "We'll be fine. Things are just going to get a little tighter. –Jimmy Fallon
The Philadelphia Eagles new coach, Chip Kelly, recently got rid of the team's long-running tradition of having fast-food Fridays. He says that he wants his players to live healthier lives. Then he sends them out to hit other people with their heads. –Jimmy Fallon
Officials in Belize say that a construction company accidentally destroyed a set of Mayan ruins that were 2,000 years old. Or as the Mayans put it, "Eh, it's not the end of the world." –Jimmy Fallon
I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS, so forget that. –Jay Leno
The IRS has now admitted that they targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny. That's why Mitt Romney wanted to be president so bad — to keep the IRS off his back. –Jay Leno
Barbara Walters announced her retirement today. Good, I'll have somebody to hang out with next year. –Jay Leno
O.J. is trying to get a new trial. His lawyer said, "Look, O.J., we've been through this before. It's a long shot. And O.J. said, "You know what? I think I'll take a stab at it." –David Letterman
A new study says by 2030 household robots will dominate every phase of our lives. The study says the No. 1 field for robot growth is medicine. That makes sense. Robots already perform well in surgery. That is, until there is a power outage. Then it's just a coat rack leaning over you as you bleed to death. –Craig Ferguson
On Friday, a truck in Ohio overturned on a highway and spilled hundreds of hot dogs. It got even more annoying when another truck came along and spilled two less buns. –Jimmy Fallon

Tiger Woods Divorce Official
In a statement the pair said: "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us." The couple have two children, a daughter, Sam Alexis who is three years old and one-year-old Charlie Axel.
Woods' marital troubles came to global attention in November 2009 when he crashed his car into a tree outside his Florida home. That event opened a Pandora's box of salacious details with one woman after another tumbling out of the woodwork with tales of Tiger's indiscretions. Woods lost lost several major sponsors after the sordid stories hit the media and he attended a rehab program. After taking a break, he eventually returned to golf but has struggled to find his footing.

Florida district chooses SMART over several competitors
ARLINGTON, Va. --- April 26, 2012 --- SMART Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SMT) (TSX: SMA), a leading provider of collaboration solutions, announces that Bay District Schools has standardized on SMART products. The district, based in Panama City, Florida, is currently equipping 1,500 core-subject classrooms with SMART Board® 880 interactive whiteboards, SMART Response™ PE interactive response systems, SMART Document Cameras™ and SMART Slate™ wireless slates. The multimillion-dollar project is being financed by a half-cent sales tax, a district initiative to provide equitable technology for students in all classrooms across the school district with money raised from the tax. District officials hope to similarly equip remaining elective-subject classrooms in the near future.
Bay District Schools is comprised of 40 schools, more than 26,000 students and approximately 1,850 teachers. In 2011, approximately 200 classrooms were equipped with educational technology from various suppliers, including SMART. As part of the equitable classroom technology initiative, district officials decided to acquire products from a single supplier and established a committee to make a recommendation to the school board about which products to purchase. The committee, which included district personnel, school board officials and local educators, made a thorough assessment and chose SMART because of the company's reputation for innovation, the multitouch capabilities of its SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboards, its engaging software and resources, and the company's professional development and support services. The school board also approved positions for 15 Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA) – individuals with technical and curriculum expertise – to work with other teachers during the first year of the installation. As well, they provided SMART trainers to ensure effective implementation of SMART education solutions.
"Our teachers love SMART products," says Tamra Hogue, Supervisor of Instructional Technology and Media Services, Bay District Schools. "Teachers who were not even using projectors are now working with their SMART Board interactive whiteboards every day, and their students are responding, becoming more empowered by using this exciting, up-to-date technology."
"Administrators and teachers at Bay District Schools recognize the importance of using classroom technology and the training required to ensure it's used effectively," says Patric Nagel, Vice President, Americas, SMART Technologies. "With a SMART Board interactive whiteboard in every core-subject classroom in the district, teachers are increasingly using our products to create lessons that are more interactive, resulting in more engaged students and improved learning outcomes."

Sail-World.com : Key West….definitely the jewel in Florida's crown
Key West….definitely the jewel in Florida's crown
'Sloppy Joe's, Duval Street, Key West, arguably the most famous bar in the United States - Key West' Bob Wonders
Click Here to view large photo
One of the good things about visiting the Miami International Boat Show is the opportunity to take a detour south and visit the Florida Keys and its capital, Key West.
In February I made my third visit to this truly magical part of the world, a world of crystal clear waters, stunning sunsets and more bridges…..well, more bridges than almost anywhere, I would think.
Although Key West, the southernmost point of the Continental United States, is only a four-hour drive, one must cross 42 bridges, including the 'daddy' of them all, the All American seven-mile (11.25 km) bridge.
'The Keys', as locals refer to the region, must seem like Heaven on Earth to anglers and scuba divers; every strip shopping centre or mall seemed to host tackle stores, scuba equipment outlets, charter boat operations and boat yards, while the entire coast on both sides is dotted with marinas of all shapes and sizes.
Keen anglers rate the region as 'paradise' for both light tackle and heavy tackle fishing.
Islamorada, one of the first major destinations on the Keys after leaving Miami, offers sport fishing for all comers form one of its many marinas.
The waters wide of the coast are home to a variety of fish, including highly prized billfish and dedicated anglers recognise the region as among the finest fishing grounds on South Atlantic waters.
Key West, which calls itself 'the Conch Republic', is rather historic in many ways, its use even dating back to the American Civil War; it also became prominent during the so-called 'Cold War', particularly when the late President John F Kennedy threw down the gauntlet to the USSR over the Cuban missile crisis.
A 'conch', by the way, is a crustacean resembling a snail; I'm told Spanish-speaking people pronounce the word as 'Conch', English-speaking peoples pronounce it 'Conk.'
Take your pick.
Real estate in Key West is expensive, make that incredibly expensive.
A local told me that 'decent' houses start at about $4 million; condominiums from $1 million (and that's for a fairly small one!).
To rent a small, one-bedroom apartment, figure on $1200 or more per month.
A scuba diver off Key Largo - the township still promotes itself as the setting for the Humphrey Bogart movie of the same name. - Key West Tourism
Away from fishing, scuba diving and just playing tourist, Key West can lay claim to some, well, let's say mighty interesting attractions.
Foremost among them is the historic Sloppy Joe's, a bar on Duval Street which also stages annually the Ernest Hemingway look-alike contest which regularly attracts in excess of 100 entrants.
This particular establishment is actually the third to carry the name Sloppy Joe's; the genuine original was in Havana, Cuba, and in 1934 it opened just a few doors from the present site, a location now known as Captain Tony's.
The present Sloppy Joe's opened in 1937 and has been there ever since, dispensing all manner of cooling drinks to local and visitors.
Texan David Douglas (centre) was named winner of the last Ernest Hemingway look-a-like contest held at the famous Sloppy Joe's. - Key West Tourism
Hemingway made no secret of his fondness for Key West and his house, where he write one of his blockbuster novels, 'To Have and Have Not', is a major tourist attraction; as is a quite palatial residence known as 'The Little White House.'
This was the home of former US President Harry S Truman, who spent most of his free time out of Washington, DC, at 'The Little White House', which made him smarter than the average politician, in my book.

Another attraction to both locals and tourists is Mallory Square which, as the name implies, is the city's square, but it has won fame for the view it offers for Key West's fabulous sunsets.
Entertainers, buskers and various market stalls all give the square a carnival atmosphere and the sunsets are definitely worth seeing.
Mallory Square, renowned for its view of sunsets and the artists and entertainers that show their skills. - Key West - Bob Wonders

Hotels, motels and guest houses all seem to make maximum use of waterfront locations and it's easy to locate a restaurant or bar where your feet are almost awash with the waters of the Caribbean, the Atlantic or the Mexican Gulf, depending on your actual location.
Many sections of the highway from Miami to Key West have water both sides, the Atlantic Ocean to your left, the Gulf of Mexico to your right.
It's all just part of the broad appeal of the Keys.
To those readers who have never been there, my advice is do it, do it soon.
It's unique, it's a one-of-a-kind place that you will want to re-visit time and time again.
Don't believe me?
Visit the very informative website,
I'll wager you'll start looking at ways and means to get there.
Every visitor to Key West checks out 'the rock' - the signage says it all. - Key West - Bob Wonders

Dizziness and its relationship to Parkinson's
Dizziness is sometimes used to describe a feeling of imbalance or insecurity when standing. Dizziness on standing can have multiple causes including those below:
Dizziness from low blood pressure most commonly, is due to a condition called orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when you move from a lying or sitting position into a standing position
"When we stand, blood pools in the lower legs, our vessels work to squeeze the blood back to the heart, and the heart rate increases so that our blood pressure does not drop," said cardiologist Rachael Wyman, M.D., of Eastside Cardiology Associates in Kirkland, WA. "If one of these steps does not work adequately, blood pressure will drop when standing." Orthostatic hypotension can be caused by heart problems, problems in blood circulation, or problems with neurologic control of these functions, referred to as autonomic dysfunction
Orthostatic hypotension secondary to autonomic dysfunction is not uncommon in Parkinson's, with more than half of patients experiencing this problem at one time or another.
As Parkinson's advances, the risk of orthostatic hypotension increases. And some medications used to treat the motor symptoms of Parkinson's can worsen the problem. Your doctor can tell you which drugs lend to orthostatic hypotension, as well as those that can be taken to increase blood pressure.
Another common cause of orthostatic hypotension is low blood volume, which can stem from dehydration.
"Many people with Parkinson's don't drink enough fluids, or they limit Dizziness and its relationship to Parkinson's the amount they drink because of swallowing problems," said nutritionist Marilyn Ward, R.D, CDE, of Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in Kirkland. "As we get older we can't rely on our thirst as a reminder to drink. By the time we feel thirsty, we may already be dehydrated," Ward said. Ms Ward offers the following tips but also reminds us to check with our doctors before making any change:
If orthostatic hypotension is severe and not explained by these conditions alone, a cardiac evaluation or testing for other problems such as diabetes may be needed. Heart-pumping function can be evaluated with an echocardiogram or ultrasound, and an EKG can be done to assess heart rate and rhythm
Here are a few additional things you can do to reduce the effects of orthostatic hypotension: ?? Use compression stockings to reduce blood pooling in your legs.
If serious problems continue, see your primary care doctor or a cardiologist for additional testing.
Rachel Wyman, M.D., FACC, and Marilyn Ward, R.D., CDE

A 3-year-old boy, his mother and her co-worker escaped serious injury when a Thomasville-area man rammed their vehicle, punched one of its windows and attacked the co-worker, police allege.
Charles E. Brown, 41, of the 6000 block of Lincoln Highway West in Jackson Township, remains in York County Prison on $20,000 bail and an Adams County probation violation.
According to Southwestern Regional Police, Brown showed up at the workplace of Sarah J. Pierce in the 5900 block of Colonial Valley Road in Heidelberg Township about 4 p.m. April 20. He was not allowed to be at the business, police said.
"They had some type of relationship, I don't know how deep it was," Chief Greg Bean said.
Brown pulled a knife on Pierce and told her he cared about her, police said, then left the business and drove off.
Pierce, her young son and her co-worker, James Reynolds, 40, of Thomasville, also left the business, with Pierce driving.
Rammed: Police said when they were at the intersection of Colonial Valley Road and Route 116 (York Road), Brown drove up behind them and rammed the Hyundai they were in.
They were unable to flee because of heavy traffic and Brown rammed them a second time, police said, "in an apparent attempt to push the victims into the heavily traveled York Road."
Brown then got out of his vehicle and punched the driver's side window of the Hyundai, causing it to shatter and causing glass to fall on the occupants, police allege.
At that point, Brown tried several times to punch Pierce, according to police.
"She was basically leaning into the passenger side of the vehicle ... trying to stay away from him as he was reaching in the window trying to punch her," Bean said.
Punched: Reynolds came to her defense and was punched by Brown, police said.
Traffic on Route 116 momentarily cleared, and Pierce used her left leg to shove Brown away while accelerating with her right foot, police said.
Pierce drove for several miles, then stopped and called 911.
Police obtained a warrant for Brown and arrested him on April 26, Bean said.
Brown is charged with stalking, making terroristic threats, simple assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and various traffic violations.
It's unclear whether he's retained an attorney.

Neuro-Immune interactions in neurodegenerative, mental,
cognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders – understanding of basic
mechanisms and development of novel therapies and vaccines.
Kipnis Lab
In my lab we are working to better understand the complex interactions between the immune and nervous systems. Until very recently, scientists assumed that any activity of the immune system within or around the central nervous system (CNS) was a hallmark of pathology. However, multiple new lines of evidence support the notion that immune support is actually required for optimal neuronal survival following CNS injury.
In parallel, we recently showed that immune-compromised mice exhibit behavioral and cognitive abnormalities when compared to mice with normally-functioning immune systems. Animals that lack the population of unique T lymphocytes, or key molecular factors produced by these cells, are strikingly impaired in learning and memory tasks, adult neurogenesis, and neuronal plasticity. Moreover, a well-controlled boost of immune response improves learning abilities in normal animals and accelerates the process of neurogenesis.
Our goal is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of immune cells in healthy and diseased CNS. On the therapeutic "frontline", we are designing vaccines and developing novel therapies with a potential to promote neuronal survival, improve cognitive functions, and slow down progression of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders.
We are studying the following areas:
CNS injury and neurodegenerative diseases - neuronal regeneration, neuroprotection, and neurogenesis.
Models: stroke, spinal cord injury, optic nerve injury, brain injury, glaucoma, Alzheimer's Disease.
Cognitive and mental disorders – impairment of cognition, neurogenesis, and neuronal plasticity; glial biology.
Models: age-related dementia, chemo-brain, Alzheimer's Disease, schizophrenia, and depression.
To learn more about the role of immunity in cognitive function, take a look at this Scientific American Blog post on our research.
Neurodevelopmental disorders – neurogenesis, neuronal plasticity, synapse formation and maintenance, glial biology.
Models: autism spectrum disorders, Rett syndrome.
To learn more about our Rett research, you can read the following interview from the Rett Syndrome Research Trust (RSRT) website or the following article from the RSRT UK website.
Wild type and immune deficient (scid) mice were compared at cognitive task performance on Barnes Maze (the aim is to find a hidden box within the shortest time). Note the difference in the path length between the two strains. |
Brains from wild type and immune deficient (scid) mice were analyzed for synapses using electron microscope. Note the difference in the numbers of synapses (marked by red arrow heads) between wild type and scid mice. |
Primary neurons are grown in cultures and make spontaneous connections (synapses). Stimulations by T cells significantly increase the numbers of synapses. |
Brains from wild type and immune deficient (scid) mice were analyzed for newly born neurons (green) and neural stem cells (red) using confocal microscope. Note the difference in the numbers of neuronal and neural progenitors between wild type and scid mice. |

STUDIES of criminal behavior have shown that punishment, no matter how severe, is not the greatest deterrent to crime. According to these studies, criminals are more concerned about their chances of getting caught than about their fate once they are apprehended.

Even if the punishment is heavy, a person is most likely to attempt to commit a crime if the chances of him or her getting caught are small.

All right Detroit in an -- -- governor Rick Snyder expected to appoint an emergency manager for the city this -- state appointed review team determined -- Detroit is in a financial emergency.
So this is the only way to save the motor city that's certainly what my next guest believes state senator Rick Jones joining me now -- stuff.
Senator Jones thank you listen to what can -- -- an emergency manager do to turn things around or at least.
Help Detroit avoid bankruptcy in white is the city's mayor and City Council oppose having an emergency manager.
Well I have.
Nothing but respect for Detroit mayor big.
However the City Council has been obstructive.
-- I believe they're part of the reason the cities and so much trouble.
But they have currently.
Almost fifteen billion billion with a B in unfunded liability.
But half of that and pensions they simply don't have the money coming in to take care this problem.
They've done all the gimmicks the one time fixes they borrowed money to make payments.
It has to stop there in deep trouble.
I believe an emergency manager has a chance of turning the city Iran he's going to have to make drastic cuts.
The you know they're going to have to look at laying people off and probably cut in salaries and benefits from doing everything possible.
This is their last chance the next step is bankruptcy.
That's good but -- Detroit's population.
Drop is being quite alarming from one point eight million down to 700000.
That's a big tax basis just picked up and left.
Can you make that up with just cutting spending and cutting -- salaries.
-- If it were up to me.
I would dissolve the city of Detroit.
I would -- it.
To a size that they could work there is society is out there there could be a very vibrant.
The Detroit that would go into the future do you -- we'd be very -- up.
But currently -- do have to what you land mass for the population in in my opinion they need to shrink.
Well talking of Detroit you know look at -- federal government bailed out GM should the federal government do something to help Detroit.
Absolutely not the City Council has called for a bailout.
I I think that's ridiculous taxpayers should not bail out the city.
I will not vote to take money from my constituents in mid Michigan -- bail out the city they need to handle their own problem or go bankrupt.
You know what's amazing.
Senator Jones like the new data found that I'm a half of Detroit's -- -- property owners haven't paid taxes Smith sounds like Greece how did that happen.
Well you you've got some urban blight there.
There hasn't been enough enforcement did that needs to move ahead to that's something in an emergency manager can get all look.
So the theory is -- Detroit does file for bankruptcy that it could affect the creditworthiness of other cities across the state is not a very real threat do you think.
Well I think -- saw as a threat.
But -- you know what are the other ramifications of the -- suddenly bail them out.
How many other cities are gonna spend money like this if they think they're gonna get bailed out.
-- for no more bailouts.
Let's control the problem let's give emergency manager -- to take control immediately.
The governor under this plan has up to thirty days yeah and I'm urging him to act immediately.
Well we wish you the very best of luck state senator -- Jones thank you for joining us appreciate it.
Thank you.

How to buy a hi-fi system
Back in the day a hi-fi was simply a pair of speakers, an amplifier, a turntable, and maybe a radio or tape deck. Nowadays even the speakers are optional, and the rest of the system is an open question.

A Simple Story (Magill's Literary Annual 1986)
S(hmuel) Y(osef) Agnon's classic A Simple Story, first published in Hebrew in 1935 as Sipur pashut, is now available for a wider audience in Hillel Halkin's lucid English translation. For this Schocken edition, Halkin also contributes an insightful afterword, partly to provide for the general reader useful background information to the novella, partly to analyze Agnon's complex treatment of theme and structure. However simple the story appears to be, the work rewards close and careful attention. Like other fiction by the 1966 Nobel Prize-winner, this novella also re-creates the lost world of early twentieth century Jewish life. In general, Agnon's work is—at least superficially—nostalgic, conservatively religious, often moralistic. On a deeper level, his fiction treats a quest for values in a once-static society slowly disintegrating or changing because of modern pressures. As such, A Simple Story, like Days of Awe (1938), A Guest for the Night (1939, 1950), or The Bridal Canopy (1931), should be read not merely as an old-fashioned narrative depicting a bygone age but also as an ambiguous moral parable that concerns the human soul in turmoil.
From the point of view of an obtrusive narrator, a native of Galicia wise and tolerant concerning the foibles of men and women in love, Agnon...

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Agnon's irony begins with the title of A Simple Story. Nothing in this simple story is as it seems, aesthetically or thematically. Like many of Agnon's works, it is set in a shtetl in Galicia during the first decade of the twentieth century. Bluma Nacht is orphaned and taken to Shisbush, where her aunt, Tsiril Horovitz, and her uncle, Baruch Meir Horovitz, take her in but require that she serve as their maid. Bluma is a romantic figure, an unconstrained spirit. Heartbreak complicates the plot when Hirshel Horovitz, Bluma's cousin and in spirit her direct opposite, falls in love with her. Socially awkward and especially inept at romance, Hirshel is railroaded into a marriage with Minnah Tzeimlich, someone more appropriate to his station. Even this triangle seems simple compared to what is revealed when Bluma leaves the Horovitz household and goes to work for Akavia Mazal, who had, earlier in life, also been kept from marrying his love for economic reasons as had, incidentally, Baruch Meir Horovitz and Bluma's mother, Mirel.
Just as Hirshel could not oppose his mother and the matchmaker, so he cannot assert control over anything else in his life. Like the other characters, he does not have the religious faith of the world of The Bridal Canopy. Things are done in certain ways merely because that is the way they are done. Empty ritual provides no meaning. His frustration is turned inward, and he descends into madness, as have others...

Summary (Masterplots II: World Fiction Series)
Using an obtrusive narrator, a native of Galicia wise and tolerant concerning the foibles of men and women in love, Shmuel Yosef Agnon narrates a "simple" tale that grows ever more complex and meaningful. He begins with the fortunes of Blume Nacht, an attractive, clever, and industrious young woman who, as a penniless orphan, arrives at her cousin's home at Szybusz, a Jewish shtetl (village) in southern Poland. Baruch Meir Hurvitz and his wife, Tsirl, decide that she might well serve as a maid in the household to earn her modest keep, and they agree to shelter her. Their only son, Hirshl, looks at the girl with deeper appreciation. Though he soon falls in love with her, he is too inexperienced in the ways of the world to approach Blume and instead allows fate to take control of his romance. While he vacillates, the shtetl matchmaker, Yona Toyber, works out for the young man a much more promising match—with Mina Ziemlich, from the nearby village of Malikrowik.
Passively, Hirshl allows his parents to prepare for this marriage; passively, he courts the equally inexperienced Mina; passively, he weds her. Always he had thought (or perhaps had hoped) that Blume might intercede for him and that they might run off together. Such things do not generally occur in the village of Szybusz, however, where people follow Jewish traditions, and Hirshl is, if anything, obedient.
Only after his marriage does he show signs of agitation that swell into...

4 Go for Broke

National Public Broadcasting Archive (hereinafter referred to as NPBA), University of Maryland, College Park, Md. [BACK]
2. Raymond Wittcoff's "bold and forthright" plan was proposed in a speech before the Television Programs Institute held at Pennsylvania State College in April 1952, NPBA. [BACK]
3. For his "eyewitness account" of Fletcher's July 1952 meeting, Powell relied on the handwritten notes of Anne Spinney, who was present at the meeting as an FAE employee. Both Powell ( Channels of Learning , pp. 78-79) and Wood ("First Decade of the 'Fourth Network,'" pp. 34-37) provide considerable detail on the discussion that took place, because, wrote Powell, ''all the considerations raised are important." In fact, they laid down the basic principles on which the system operated for more than two decades and still, in large measure, honors today. [BACK]
4. Dr. George Stoddard, as president of the University of Illinois, was not a wholly disinterested participant in the planning for educational television. The University was a licensee at the time of two radio stations (AM and FM), was actively working to establish an educational television station, and had hosted two of the key planning sessions leading up to the fight for the reservation of the educational channels. [BACK]
5. The two additional ETRC directors elected at the December 1952 meeting were Arthur H. Dean and Richard Hull. The election of Hull, the only professional broadcaster on the board (general manager of WOI-TV in Ames, Iowa), was a concession to the interests of the NAEB. A month later, the board elected a third new director, Kenneth Oberholtzer, superintendent of the Denver public schools. [BACK]
6. Hudson's plans for the Center are contained in his memorandum to C. Scott Fletcher, "The Educational Radio and Television Program Development and Exchange Center," Nov. 16, 1952, NPBA. [BACK]
7. Robert Hudson, "Producing for National Educational Television," Journal of the University Film Producers Association (winter 1958). [BACK]
8. The three series produced and paid for by NBC in the first season of the cooperative arrangement were American Government: Pursuit of Happiness , with Professor E. E. Schattschneider of Wesleyan; Mathematics , with James Newman, editor of The World of Mathematics ; and Highlights of Opera History , with Paul Henry Lang of Columbia. The remaining two series, produced and fended by the Center, were The American Scene , with guest authors hosted by Albert P. Van Nostrand of Brown, and Geography for Decision , with Albert E. Burke of the American Institute of Resource Economics. The fall 1957 series of ETRC-NBC programs included two produced by the Center— The International Geophysical Year , hosted by Frank Blair, and Camera On Washington , hosted by Bill Henry. NBC produced three program series: Arts and the Gods from the Metropolitan Museum of Art , hosted by Alexander Scourby; Mathematics , hosted by Clifton Fadiman; and Survival , hosted by Albert E. Burke. The ETRC-NBC programs in the spring 1958 series were Decision for Research, Briefing Session , and The Subject Is Jazz . The final two series, broadcast in the fall of 1958, were Ten for Survival and Adventuring in the Hand Arts . [BACK]
9. Jack Gould, "TV: Professors on the Air," New York Times , Mar. 19, 1957. [BACK]
10. "A Report from the Educational Television and Radio Center to the Ford Foundation, 1957," NPBA. [BACK]
11. The original board of the ETRC included (in addition to Fletcher) Ralph Lowell, trustee of Boston's Lowell Institute; Robert Calkins, director of the Brookings Institute in Washington; George Stoddard, president of the University of Illinois; Harold Lasswell, professor of law and political science at Yale University; Arthur H. Dean, attorney; Kenneth Oberholtzer, superintendent of the Denver public schools; and Richard Hull, general manager of WOI-TV (Ames, Iowa). Added later were Harry K. Newburn, president of the ETRC; Everett N. Case, president of Colgate University; Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review ; Leland Hazard, vice president and general counsel of Pittsburgh Plate Glass and chairman of WQED; Lloyd S. Michael, superintendent of the Evanston, Ill., public schools; Mark Starr, educational director of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union; Glenn T. Seaborg, chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley; and Raymond Wittcoff, vice president of the Carridine Hat Company and president of KETC/St. Louis. [BACK]
12. The original Affiliates Committee of the ETRC, elected in 1956, consisted of John F. White (WQED/Pittsburgh), James Robertson (WTTW/Chicago), Hartford Gunn (WGBH/Boston), William Harley (WHA/Madison), Loren Stone (KCTS/Seattle), and Earl Wynn (WUNC-TV/North Carolina). [BACK]
13. "Independent Educational Television Plus Ten," an address by John F. White to the managers of the educational television stations at Edgewater Gulf Hotel, Gulfport, Miss., Mar. 6, 1952, NPBA. [BACK]
14. In addition to Robert Hudson, the new vice presidents were Kenneth Yourd for business and legal affairs and Warren Kraetzer for development. In a later appointment, James Robertson was made vice president for station relations. [BACK]
15. John F. White, interviewed by the author, New York, Sept. 17, 1981. [BACK]
16. Hudson to Fritz Jauch, memorandum, July 6, 1962, quoted in Wood, "First Decade of the 'Fourth Network,'" p. 315. [BACK]

18. In the audience survey made for public television in 1952, a "regular viewer" was identified as one who could correctly identify at least one public-television show viewed in the past week. [BACK]

Frequently Asked Question:
1. Why is the transfer rate far slower than 5Gbps as promoted?
A: The USB 3.0 transfer rate of 5Gbps, with a theoretical transfer speed of 625MB/s, is about 10 times faster than of the mainstream USB 2.0 transfer rate of 480Mb/s, which has a theoretical transfer speed of 60 MB/s. Taking current usage conditions into consideration, the transfer speed can achieve about 3 times that of USB 2.0. The actual transfer speed depends on the specific environment the product is used in.
2. The hub keeps suddenly disconnecting with the device while transferring data. Why is this happening?
A: If this problem is occurring with properly-installed devices, it is usually due to insufficient power supply. When the hub is transferring data - especially big data - make sure it is connected to a power source. In addition, we recommend connecting the hub to your computer with the cable provided. If not, please make sure the cable length is less than 1m, so as to ensure stable data transfer.B: Please gently push and pull the outer devices cable to let it better connected to the hub and shake the hub gently to see if they are connected solidly before use it to transfer data.
3. The devices are not being identified by my computer when connected to the USB hub, but they are being identified when connected directly to the computer. Why is this happening?
A: This problem may be the result of one of the following causes:
a. Insufficient power supply. Please connect the USB hub to a power source.
b. Compatibility between the motherboard and system. Please try refreshing the BIOS in the motherboard.
c. System or BIOS settings. The USB may be disabled in your BIOS or operating system. Please turn on the computer, press F2 or DEL to enter the BIOS interface, then select "Enable USB device".

Review 2Pros: USB 2 ports work great, USB 2 ports work great with USB3 drives Cons: USB3 ports are unreliable with USB3 drives Other Thoughts: I gave this hub a 5* rating before, suspecting slow handshaking etc.. I'm now convinced there's something wrong, either with the hub or my system's interaction with it, because the usb3 drive that works perfectly when connected via cable OR THE HUB'S USB2 PORTS typically fail to be recognized when I plug it into the USB3 ports. I'm holding off returning it hoping that a linux kernel upgrade will fix it.... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works well but advisoryPros: 2 USB3 ports, 4 USB2 ports. USB3 speed hits maximum transfer rate of my USB3 drive. Cons: only 2 USB 3 hubs, as advertised, with 4 USB 2 hubs Other Thoughts: USB3 devices plugged into the usb3 ports take more time to be recognized by my linux box than the usb2 devices and ports on the hub or a direct input to the USB3 motherboard port. I almost returned it before I realized that (1) I had a badly formatted 64GB usb3 drive, and (2) the handshaking took more time with usb3 ports on the hub. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome little hubPros: All ports works as stated. Cons: Nothing really except they should use a Blue LED for power instead of green, doesn't match my new devices! lol. Other Thoughts: The listing states 7 ports, keep in mind one of the ports is ONLY FOR CHARGING! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

A good mix of features. MacPros: Versatile hub with plenty of connectivity, assuming that you have a mix of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices, which is pretty likely for all of us. Also has a 'dummy' charging port - no DATA connectivity that I can tell, but it is only intended for charging anyway. Cons: The power supply on this HooToo product is beefier than most. The charging port is listed as supplying 5.0 vdc @ 2.0 amps. The specs that I have been able to dig up on the majority of iPads (mini omitted) is 5.1 vdc @ 2.1 amps. Will this port charge a full sized iPad? Yes, albeit more slowly than the native Apple charger. I was able to charge my iPad more rapidly with its native charger. To be completely fair, I also had a USB powered drive attached to the hub that could have been sucking some of the power away from the charging port. I reran the test with no devices taking significant power from the hub, and found that the charging rate nearly doubled. Other Thoughts: Other general musings: 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

"Crystal Skull" delivers in a big wayPosted Thursday, May 22, 2008, at 12:31 AM Indy and company deliver an action packed, fun-filled ride in "Skull"
Like other movie franchises, the fans of Indiana Jones have built this newest film up so much; it's destined to leave some feeling unfulfilled. "Crystal Skull" delivers in most everyway. There's the cool swagger, the lightning-quick banter, the one-liners and the Fedora. The movie opens two decades after we last saw Indy in the "Last Crusade" and Indy has never looked so good. After a silhouetted reveal, we see an aged Harrison Ford that still embodies the rugged, crooked smile, whip-toting adventurer we've all come to love. After meeting the intriguing Russian military scientist Irina Spalko, played beautifully by Cate Blanchett, the movie gets off to a raucous start. An action sequence inside a warehouse with a few familiar sights set the film's tone at a breakneck speed. One complaint heard over and over again is that the movie meanders along. I got no sense of that at all. There are breathers in the action but you keep moving in the right direction. We also learn some surprising details of what Indy has been up to since "Last Crusade". After getting up close and personal with the atomic age, we learn that Dr. Jones has ties to the U.S. government, which helps set "Skull" in motion. One of the coolest images of the film occurs after Indy visits a beautifully pristine 1950's neighborhood, which proves to be a blast. Indy returns to Marshall College only to find that he's been put on an indefinite leave of absence after his recent adventure. With no ties, Jones decides to skip town but a chance encounter stops him in his tracks. As Jones train is leaving the platform, a Brando wannabe Mutt Williams, played by Shia Lebeouf, appears and speaks the name of Professor Oxley, which causes Indy to cancel his departure. We next move to a stereotypical 50s malt shop where Williams informs Jones that his mother has been abducted in attempt an to find Oxley. He reveals a letter Oxley sent and mentions the Crystal Skull of Akator. That's where the story officially takes off. After an impressive action sequence involving a car and motorcycle that has hilarious things going on in the background, Indy and Mutt take off for Peru. However, during the chase we learn that Marcus Brody finally gets his due, only to lose his head over it. Following a trip to an asylum and a graveyard, we are finally introduced to Oxley. John Hurt almost steals the show playing the overtly insane Oxley. Then we're introduced to Mutt's mother, the not so surprising Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen. The scenes between Allen and Ford could be pulled scenes from "Raiders". They're that seamless. During this time, we are introduced to the Crystal Skull and explained the purpose of the skulls and why the Russians what them. You guessed it -- world domination. Mutt and Spalko share an awesome sword fight while jumping from moving trucks throughout a jungle setting, with the Crystal Skull changing possession more than a few times. This leads us to the home stretch of the movie and that is where I leave you. I believe the ending of a film should never be revealed good or bad. What I can tell you is the ending is where your love of Indiana Jones could be put to the test. If you believe in the original vision of the 1930's serial you will enjoy the ride. If not, there's no talking to you. This could be the best collection of actors assembled in any Indiana Jones flick. You get what you expect from Ford, Allen, Hurt and Blanchett, while Lebeouf proves he's the real deal. Ray Winstone is great as the slimy double-triple-quadruple crossing Mac. Some of the best scenes are with Allen and Ford. When attacked about marrying another man, Marion fires back she's sure Indy has been with lots women in her absence. He agrees but says there was one problem -- "They weren't you," to which Marion responds with a schoolgirl smile. "Crystal Skull" is an action packed flick that delivers the goods. Also, if you look with the right eyes at the ending, you can almost hear the music and see the dawning of a new era in the Jones saga. 3-out-of-4 Stars Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] How the hell did you get to see it so early since I am reading this at 147 am and it just came out 1 hour and 47 minutes ago??????? -- Posted by jaredscousin on Thu, May 22, 2008, at 12:48 AM
Caine Gardner's response:
I attended a press screening on Sunday afternoon. Wicked cool with about 25 people in attendance. Ahhh, the good life.Having watched "Crystal Skull" I can safely say it does indeed deliver. Specifically, it delivers an empty feeling in my wallet when I look in it and realize I'll never see those $9 again. And for what, a poorly written, geriatric *cough* adventure *cough* film? The last half hour may have been unused footage from National Treasure 2, because I couldn't tell the difference except for the actors. Thankfully Cate Blanchett and the Janitor from Scrubs are in the movie, as they were about the only redeeming qualities. 1-out-of-4 Stars, and that's only because Indiana Jones was in the title. -- Posted by curbed_enthusiasm on Fri, May 23, 2008, at 1:11 AM
