text: Home Culture Robin Roberts Turns a 'Mess Into a Message' Her triumph over cancer isn't the only reason the GMA star is one of the most loved hosts on TV. By: Helena Andrews Posted: Feb. 22 2013 12:14 AM 0 Robin Roberts (Heidi Gutman/Getty Images Entertainment) (The Root) -- I cannot get enough of Robin Roberts. She's the type of woman whose smile isn't just infectious -- it's irresistible, overpowering. When she smiles, you have absolutely no choice but to join in and do the same. It's practically cultlike, my Robin Roberts worship, and it appears as if the rest of you are believers, too. Returning to her post as co-anchor of ABC's Good Morning America after six months of medical leave, Roberts, 52, told her legion of fans yesterday: "Faith, family and friends have brought me to this moment. As my mother said, we all have something, and everyone's story has purpose and meaning and value. And I share this morning, this day of celebration, with everyone." Last year Roberts was diagnosed with a type of MDS, or myelodyplastic syndromes, a rare form of blood cancer, after beating breast cancer in 2005. One day before she was to leave GMA to undergo intense chemotherapy and a lifesaving bone marrow transplant from her older sister, Robert's mother, Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts, died at 88 years old. Robert's mother, who co-authored a book with her former basketball-star daughter in 2012 titled My Story, My Song: Mother-Daughter Reflections on Life and Faith, indeed said, "Everyone has something." For Roberts it's almost intangible. What is her "something"? In a broadcast career that has spanned more than three decades, Roberts is smart without ever being snobbish, snide or snarky. Roberts is the consummate professional while still managing to be attainable, every day. She is beyond likable; she's huggable. Her beauty isn't debatable. It is simple fact. A recent article in the New York Times stated that Roberts "is, according to industry research, the most-liked host on any American morning news program by a wide margin." Also according to the Times, after Ann Curry left NBC's formerly No. 1-rated Today show, which GMA ousted from the top spot last year, Today executive producer Jim Bell told senior producers that ABC was "using Robin's illness and the accompanying public interest in her health as a new weapon in its arsenal." But perhaps the story of a much loved woman beating the odds again and again isn't what the network revels in exploiting, but what viewers actually enjoy taking part in. Recently The View's Whoopi Goldberg called the many ABC appearances that Roberts will make this week, including a special documentary on 20/20 airing Friday at 10 p.m., her "victory lap." It is. And who wouldn't want to be on the sidelines cheering for triumph for a change? In lieu of hugs and handshakes on Thursday, Roberts gave each of the hosts of The View an "elbow bump" because MDS weakens the immune system. But other than that visible precaution and her new chemo-induced hairstyle, Roberts was especially radiant and all smiles as usual, turning her "mess into a message" as her late mother taught her. Still, there was one moment during Roberts' two-segment interview on the couch that brought a lump to everyone's throat. Goldberg asked, "Did it ever occur to you not to come back?" And the woman who seemed invincible even as she shared her most trying moments with the entire world finally teared up. "I didn't know if I could come back," explained Roberts. "It's not that I didn't want to. But I didn't know if I could. But I have to tell you, God is good all the time; all the time God is good." Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

MyEclipse: Run As MyEclipse Server Issue

Run As MyEclipse Server Issue
I have several MyEclipse projects in a particular workspace.
The problem is that when I click "Run As ... MyEclipse Application" and pick the internal MyEcipse app server, MyEclipse then tries to resolve all the startup items on ALL the projects -- even the closed ones! You see all the startup items scroll by in the console window for the closed projects!
In some of the **closed** projects, I have JDBC connections that aren't open at the moment (but, hey, those projects are ** closed ** so it shouldn't matter, right?).
Because MyEclipse is trying to load all the closed projects in the workspace -- even ones where JDBC connections are not open at the moment, the Run As..MyEclipse Server application fails every time.
So, to get anything to work in the Run As..., I have to use the separate Tomcat 6 app server I installed (or have a workspace with a single project in it).
Why does MyE try to start up all these closed projects' startup items?
Is there a way to just right-click the single opened project and have MyEcilpse "understand" that I want it to Run...As only that OPEN project (the _only_ open project in the workspace) and to please (!!!) ignore all the closed projects???
Look forward to any suggestions.

Mork ,
I cannot replicate the issue at my end.
If the project is already deployed to the server and if you close the project, it will not be seen as deployed on the MyEclipse screen but it is deployed as far as Tomcat is concerned. Can you recheck the deployment location and remove the projects from the location, close the projects and check if the issue persists ?
Let me know how this works for you.
- Sep 06, 2011 - 10:58 AM
Post subject:
This is actually easy to replicate.
If you have multiple projects in a workspace and all are closed but one. You then right click one of the projects and do a Run...As MyEclipse Server Application (the built in one).
None of the (closed) projects that scroll by in the console window when I right-click and do a run...as MyEclipse server application are deployed.
In the console window, you'll see that MyEclipse is loading the other projects (the closed ones in the workspace) as well.
If you cannot replicate this, please escalate this issue (since it's clearly reproducible) so I can get a reply that addresses my question.

Mork ,
1) I could replicate the issue when the project which is closed is actually deployed to MyEclipse Tomcat. As the project is closed, it will not be listed under deployed projects for MyEclipse Tomcat.
2) You will have to remove the deployment for the closed projects for MyEclipse Tomcat to stop loading the closed projects. Can you go to the deployment location for MyEclipse Tomcat and check if you see the directory for the closed project ? Delete it and then check if the issue persists.
3) If you can check, the same is the behavior in Tomcat 6 too. You can deploy a project to Tomcat 6 and then close the project without undeploying it. Now when you try to deploy another project to Tomcat 6, it will also load the first closed project.
Let us know how this works for you.
- Sep 06, 2011 - 11:21 AM
Post subject:
OK, thanks.
Yes, the (unfortunately, hidden for some reason on the mac) folder
*did* have that deployment in the MyEclipse Tomcat folder.
However, in the servers tab in the IDE itself nothing was shown as deployed. The "Manage Deployments" for the MyEclipse Tomcat server showed an empty list.
Isn't this the actual bug?
Should I have had to navigate to a hidden folder to remove a project that MyEclipse doesn't seem to know about?
In any case, it's working now

Mork ,
I am afraid this is how it works on Eclipse which is the base version of MyEclipse.
When you close a project, it is no longer seen in the Server's tab too. For now, all you can do is to make sure the project is undeployed and then close it to avoid any issues.
Let us know if you have any other issues.
- Sep 06, 2011 - 11:42 AM
Post subject:
I'm not using the "base version" of MyEclipse.
I'm using MyEclipse for Spring, but perhaps that's not what you meant.
Seems like MyEcipse (all versions) should do more to keep things cleaned up.
It's really not a great company line to say..."this is just how it works."
It should work better... do more for the user/developer.
Clearly an area for improvement.
thanks for your reply.

As suggested above, I rolled back Windows Media Player from 11 to 10. After that, it would recognize the device, but during software update it kept unmounting/remounting the device, and firmware update failed repeatedly. Fortunately, it did not bork my phone. But it did not update the firmware either.
2009-03-19 19:16
I have some news. The problem depends on the storage card. If you remove the storage card the MTP driver will be successfully installed!
Try out and tell me your experiences :-)
2009-03-20 8:37
Hi Dale
I will try that out tonight.
I have emailed Nokia who haven't really engaged with admitting a fault yet. Update software blah blah blah -- it is up to date, there is a problem with your product.
I'll let you know if it works for me or if Nokia suggest anything new.
2009-03-22 1:22
Hi all,
I got the exact same issue. I tried to remove the memory card but it didn' work.
I found the solution in another thread on this forum:
Change into the registry this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PC Connectivity Solution\Configurations\Nokia]
The parameter: "WPDEnabled"=dword:00000001 by "WPDEnabled"=dword:00000000
and it worked.... :-)
2009-03-26 14:47
Parameter change did not have desired effect for me.
I have provided software versions to Nokia who say they are passing to technical team.
I will update here if solution ever appears.
Nokia could just provide a proper way to work with Itunes and maybe I wouldn't care about this anymore...
2009-03-27 18:23
I have removed the SD card and formatted it. After that it works fine.
I have recognized that Windows creates a file on the SD card.
Maybe there was a write protection or something like that. But now it seems to be solved.
Good luck :-)
2009-03-31 10:24
You rule!
I deleted phone in device manager.
Removed SD card and replugged phone into laptop.
Finally recognised as MTP device, confirmed by lovely phone icon appearing in Windows Explorer.
Replaced SD card but the Salling Media Sync software would not read the card, only seeing the phone memory.
Formatted the card and then finally I can use Nokia 5800 in MTP mode and allow sync software to read both memories.
Problem is somehow linked to the SD card which I'll relay to Nokia, shame they didn't suggest that a few weeks ago.
Thanks for your help. I can now propely use Nokia 5800 with Itunes playlists.

I stayed here for an overnight business trip. The pricing of the hotel is very reasonable but in return the stay is very basic. The double room was spacious but sparsely decorated with low budget furniture and flimsy bed. The bathroom was ok size but dated. The hotel seems a bit out of the 1970s. Service was very friendly. Overall... More

AT THE CLUBS about jazz jam sessions. ...There are always two jazz worlds: the formal one and the informal one... In the informal situation, you can find yourself in a jam session, where anything can happen. Both worlds are found in the clubs. Bradley's on University Place, in Greenwich Village, is always the last stop for those who need just a little more music. The club is usually packed... Bradley Cunningham, the club's namesake, possessed a unique sense of humor and loved to play Monk tunes on the piano for hours. He is gone now, and his widow, Wendy, has opened up the piano-and-bass format so you can hear small groups, complete with drums. There is little in New York as exciting as the unplanned jam sessions that erupt at Bradley's during the midnight second set or some time well into the third, and final, set, at 2 A.M. The jam session is at once a challenge and a celebration of jazz. It's a testing ground where a musician shows off the fruits of his homework. In the old days, jam sessions were after-hours events known as "cutting sessions," in which musicians had duels of the imagination, attempting to best one another... Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Lester Young, Don Byas, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and other titans added to their mythic status in jam sessions that might last until noon the following day... In such jam sessions, the fundamentals and subtleties of art were passed on. Equally important was the jam session in which the real goal was joy... That's the kind of jamming that takes place at Bradley's. You might walk in one evening and find Branford Marsalis... Vincent Herring might invite Wynton Marsalis to play... I remember well a couple of jam sessions I heard at Bradley's. Marcus Belgrave was in town, and was performing at the piano with his fellow-Detroiter Kirk Lightsey and the bassist Cecil McBee... The first night, Marsalis was there... The next [third] night, Marsalis was called into action by Belgrave, who asked him to come down for the closing. The joint was packed, and the two inspired each other phrase by phrase. The wonderful veteran singer Ten Thornton came to the microphone for one of those occasions when it seems that all the music moves like a full moon behind a cloud bank, redefining light and darkness, form and texture.

It's been in the works for over three years now. That's right, the first we heard of "Bulldozer" as a processor architecture under development was shortly after the launch of "Barcelona" K10 architecture. Granted, it wasn't possible to load close to 2 billion transistors on the silicon fab technology AMD had at the time, but AMD had a clear window over the last year to at least paper-launch the AMD FX. Delays and bad marketing may have cost AMD dearly in shaping up the product for the market. After drawing a consensus from about 25 reviews (links in Today's Reviews on the front page), it emerges that: AMD FX-8150 is missing its performance expectations by a fair margin. Not to mention performance gains in its own presentation, these expectations were built up by how AMD was shaping the product to be a full-fledged enthusiast product with significant performance gains over the previous generation AMD ill-marketed the FX-8150. Hype is a double-edged sword, and should not be used if you're not confident your offering will live up to at least most of the hype. AMD marketed at least the top-tier FX-8000 series eight-core processors as the second coming of Athlon64 FX. FX-8150 launch isn't backed up by launch of other AMD FX processors. This could go on to become a blunder. The presence of other FX series processors such as the FX-8120, six-core and four-core FX processors could have at least made the price performance charts look better, given that all FX processors are unlocked, buyers could see the value in buying them to overclock. TweakTown took a closer look into this. There are no significant clock-for-clock improvements over even AMD's own previous generation. The FX-8150 drags its feet behind the Phenom II X6 1100T in single-threaded math benchmarks such as Super/HyperPi, the picture isn't any better with Cinebench single-threaded, either. Multi-threaded data streaming applications such as data compression (WINRAR, 7-ZIP) reveal the FX-8150 to catch up with competition from even the Core i7-2600K. This trend keeps up with popular video encoding benchmarks such as Handbrake and x264 HD. Load power draw is bad, by today's standards. It's not like AMD is lagging behind in silicon fabrication technologies, or the engineering potential that turned around AMD Radeon power consumption figures over generations. Price could be a major saving grace. In the end, AMD FX 8150 has an acceptable price-performance figure. At just $25 over the Core i5-2500K, the FX-8150 offers a good performance lead. Impressive overclocking potential. We weren't exactly in awe when AMD announced its Guinness Record-breaking overclocking feat, but reviewers across the board have noticed fairly good overclocking potential and performance scaling. In all, AMD FX-8150 has almost become another example to cite at a marketing class, of how to effectively handle hype. It is sure to underwhelm some. If it's any compensation, Duke Nukem Forever is still the most underwhelming development this year for the gamer-overclocker community.
Well at least the price is right, although I did expect more from Bulldozer.. turns out it was just a toy truck to intel after all. :/
IMO the price is a little off. I'd be hard pressed to pay more than $200 for the 8150 model. If anything, the long-term overclocked power draw will bump the cost up a chunk.
Judging from the Guru3D reviews, at 4.6ghz the 8150FX barely beats the 2600k at stock in 3Dmark06 by 300ish points and at the same time consumes almost triple the power. 8150FX - 586w consumption at 4.8ghz 2600k - 313w at 5ghz ......imo these are very bloody poor results, I have no idea how the market works but I just hope Intel won't decide to hike up their prices with their upcoming Ivy.
Why on Earth would they? They will sell 3x as many CPU's at the current price point as they would if they raised their price. If anything, they could stand to lower the cost a tad bit and out value BD while outperforming it. Let's not forget that SB has been out since February, so anyone who wanted this level of performance could have already had it for almost a year.
I was hoping that the performance might be equal to 2600k or better ... so that I can start my First AMD build ... now I'll just have to go ahead and buy the 2600k or wait and go for the 2700k ... Better luck next time AMD ...
atleast it doesnt cost around 1000$ as the last gen FX, but meh, this is REALLY bad for business AMD, you just shot yourself in the foot. yeah call me fanboi, i stick with my 2600K
At least when they had $1000 CPU's they were top notch by a long shot. These are middle of the pack and even priced questionably considering their current offerings...
Such summaries should be done at the end of product review done here on TPU. I don't see any value added by that kind of product summary. Specially before even a review here is done.
AMD's main segment right now are low and mid end APU's. Maybe they can't beat Intel at highest end but then again they don't have any competition in those lower segments where users expect low price and high performance even for gaming. Which AMD APU's can deliver. And even if the higher end CPU's aren't as fast, if the price is good, it doesn't really matter.
those benchmarks are really strange. 1 minute the bulldozer goes head to head with intel on really heavy workloads then on lighter stuff seems to fall over. also the intel cpu's seem to always be given the advantage eg higher memory speeds for i7 etc. it also used 1333 and 1600 memory , i thought bulldozer was surposed to use 1866.
Good versus a 4 core in highly threaded tasks. Sort of it's design focus Has sub Phenom per core performance, so light tasks are worse. Very Good performance charts here: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...md-bulldozer-fx-8150-processor-review-20.html
:shadedshu I disagree. What?!? Are you mad that TPU has published the facts? This "bulldozer" sucks, period! Poor performance, extremely power-hungry, not competitive price-wise, I mean, who the hell in their right mind would purchase such a piss-poor product?!? LMAO...
Omg I almost started to cry after viewing this image... This is exactly how would I express customers slap over AMD face xD xD xD
Bemusing how the Phenom II x6 can beat it in some tests, surely it should be better all round than PII as it's a new architecture so even if BD can't best SB it SHOULD be better than their last generation, no???
the funny thing is amd would have got more proformace if they just did a 32nm die skrink on the thuban
That is dissapointing aye, but on the other hand it's on par with 2500k and even 2600k in heavily threaded stuff. Some users will be happy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Worldnow, the leading online technology, content and revenue-solutions company for local media, announced today that it is expanding its professional services to include Social Media consultative services. The company earlier this year announced it hired a Director of Social Media and a partnership with a leading aggregator of social media data.
"This is a very exciting day for Worldnow. The high level of expertise that we offer along with in depth data aggregation, gives us a unique advantage in the local TV industry. Social has become critical for national programming and correlation is quickly becoming causation. Our niche is the ability to combine 15+ years of servicing local TV Newsrooms with our expert knowledge of social media, backed by powerful data.", said Gloria Cid, VP of Marketing, Communications & Social Media, Worldnow.
This new division will offer customized reporting based on a clients particular needs. There are two basic levels of reporting. The first is the Social Media Intelligence Report which gives a client a scorecard of their social performance on critical platforms such as Facebook and Twitter compared to a list of competitors of their choosing. This analysis looks at top performing content on those platforms and is followed up with key insights and recommendations to improve performance.
The next level of reporting is our Social Newsroom Planner. This reporting positions social chatter as a newsrooms modern day, police scanner, wire service and beat reporter all in one!. Our team will deliver daily reports giving stations the top 5 most highly engaged content in their market the last 24 hrs. Real information in real time. This is also supported by in depth monthly analytics and review of critical KPI's for that market. As with the Social Media Intelligence report, the client can choose the competitors they wish to be measured against. Unlike other social metrics providers this is more than dashboard reporting. We are combing the art of social media with the science (data) to back it up. Worldnow has the unique ability to customize reports to fit the needs of clients and help them address whatever issue they are trying to solve for.
On November 14th, 2013 TV Newscheck will be hosting and moderating a webinar entitled Drive Audience with Social Media. (register here - https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/551309463 ) The focus of the webinar is to further explore the opportunity that social has created to growing audience.

This is part 2 of a 2 part webinar series; the first Boost News Ratings with the Right Digital Strategy was held back in March.
The social media offerings that will now be available include, social analytics and consulting, advertising and campaign management. This is the latest development in Worldnow's ongoing strategy of building on its technology base to offer digital media advice and services tailored to the local media industry.

Wasn't there a 460mb Bethesda HD pack?.....it wasn't as comprehensive as NMC's, but maybe they added that, as it looks friggin good
Fallout Vegas is better than FO3 in terms of immersion. Especially the "Hardcore" mode. But 1 and 2 still is better.
From a tactical shooter POV yes, but FO3 on very hard is still very challenging and forces you to make better use of the game world and it's contents, but FO3 is a different game with it's own beauty, dialogue and appeal.
Yeah I shouldn't really talk about anything made by Bethsoft. I get angry just thinking about them. So much potential, so much waste.
Funny thing is, some people seem to want to bag Bethesda, but IMO, they're the benchmark for RPG's, at least action one's. The latest bethesda RPG's come with positive and negative attributes, but the positives are huge, as such I find them good fun, especially given the constraints on being Mplatform.
Loving GOTY, not so much for the skill points, but the perks as I'm playing on very hard and need all the help I can get.....30hrs in and I'm still not certain I can take down some area's, but I just got full AP replenish as a perk, so I could hit a tough creature with 8 doses of VATS hahahahaaha. One thing though, WTF with Feral Ghoul Reaver....I laid 14 land mines and combat shotgun him a ton of times and he didn't dip below what looked liked 85% health, he was limping though, lol.
Ahh that's the problem right there. They are action/adventure games, not actual RPGs. More GTA than Planescape.
thats not a problem for me, thats a revival. In fact, bethesda and bioware (throw borderlands in here too) games are the evolution of the RPG imo. They did to RPGs what Half Life did to FPS. I would like to throw fable in there because it kind of started the whole kick. The RPG genre was/is not perfect and nearly all other games have a severe case of diabloitis. Same on rails crap with the typical "omg something is wrong complete 100 sidequests to find things and fix it", with the typical "your friend/mentor is actually the enemy" twist. oh and if you don't complete the sidequests some random boss that your rails take you to will kill you, and there is almost nothing you can do skillwise because, well, you didn't do the side quests so f*** you. Don't get me wrong, those games were great, Doom II was also great. But there are bigger and better things and the new RPGs are it. The new Duke Nukem game kind of proves that... If you release the same crap over a decade later, its going to be crap. EDIT: to add to that, everyone always looks back at old crap with rose colored glasses... but when you play the actual games they are nothing compared to the games today. When you actually boot it up and start playing you remember the ... oh yeah... this was wrong with it. Kind of like going back to an ex gf lol. Always seems better than it actually was.
They're kind of RPG/Shooter hybrids, and IMO, are the only type of shooters worth playing as normal run and gun stuff is claustrophobic and boring within a few hrs. I can appreciate FO3/Vegas don't have the story/character depth that other RPG's might, but they've pretty much done everything else right. These are action adventure games, and on hardest difficulty, they're proper hard, but the games leveling system is very good and rewards building your character stats as you need it.
Strongly agree with this, most FPSers suck because they haven't evolved, but FO3/vegas did, and in fact, Vegas is one of the best shooters ever made thanks to great range of weapons, mods, alt ammo, and a good supply of ammo{unlike FO3}, also, Vegas ensured that scoped weapons were abundant, which is something I appreciate given the scale of the game world.
Speaking of which: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169475 The process will be very similar for Fallout 3.
You didn't play the proper RPG's then, only the action RPGs. Go and play Planescape Torment and Fallout 2 and tell me those have diabloitis. Or Baldurs Gate, NWN, Kotor, Anachronox, the old JRPGs for SNES, Arcanum, the old Ultima games etc etc.. Only the action RPG's were Diablo clones, saying otherwise is just ignorance (I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying you don't know what you're talking about). If anything, Bethsofts RPGs are more like Diablo. EDIT: I should mention that it's in the latter years I've cultivated this view. I honestly think a lot of the games from the 90s ARE better than anything released today.
Its just my opinion. I have played Baldurs gate, Anachonox, and NWN, as well as Divine Divinity etc. Anachronox was a bit of a different twist, but the rest of them had a very similar feel to one another, and it got stale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSpdpTmtnKk - here is some gameplay of fallout 2, It was a good game, but I don't see what you find that special in these older games.
It was added by one of the DLCs. As was I think Super Mutant Behemmoths (between Masters and the really big ones). Both were damn near impossible to kill even on Normal difficulty. Reavers and Behemmoths are the hardest enemies in the entire game and yes, they can spawn just about anywhere you encounter normal ghouls/masters. My best solution for you: nuke it.
Bloody hell....tried to go thru Murder Pass with 1200 5.56mm, 1000 or so shotgun shells+ the Terrible Shotgun and couldn't do it, ran out of bullets or my weapon degraded, lol, I felt like I needed another 3-4 combat shotguns and 500+ 5.56's to see me thru, anyway, turned down the diff and got myself the tri beam laser and problem solved. Too bad the combat shotgun didn't make it's way to Vegas, I know the Riot shotgun has a high fire rate, but nothing kicks like the combat SG.
This mod adds a combat shotgun, if you simply can't live without it: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/37002 or pehaps this is better for your purposes: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40007

Updated: Crash shuts Southend road
7:26am Friday 15th June 2012 in News
A 17-YEAR-OLD boy has been left with life-threatening injuries after a scooter he was on collided with a police car.
The incident happened at 2am this morning in Bournemouth Park Road, Southend, at the junction with Central Avenue.
The collision involved a black and blue Yiben scooter which was in collision with the side of a marked police vehicle.
There were two people on the scooter, a 17-year-old boy from Benfleet and an 18-year-old man from Southend.
Both were taken by ambulance to Southend General Hospital. The 17-year-old was then transferred to Queens Hospital in Romford with life-threatening head injuries, while the 18-year-old was later released.
The occupants of the police vehicle, both local constables, a man and a woman, were taken by ambulance to Southend General Hospital and were later released having been treated for minor injuries.
The incident has been referred to the IPCC.
The road was closed for investigations until about 8am this morning.
Police at the force's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for any witnesses to contact them on 101.

-- Americans across the country try to recover from the housing crisis that you may be in right now many people finding it hard to refinance and pay down their mortgage but.
Our next guest says there is indeed help.
He is fox legal analysts and realistic.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Well so -- gears though if you have an FHA loan that you maybe -- 56 years ago.
It's almost impossible Hugo Bryant to refinance homes but there is what's called -- green line FHA.
And VA by the way.
And it's very important that you always contact the mortgage broker to learn about it but essentially what they can do date being the FHA.
Is they could streamline your mortgage down not -- reduction up principal reduction now.
Like your interest -- from where was what you got it.
And they could stream -- it down and out to around president interest rates or maybe a little bit -- it's a great program that I want and our viewers to know about all right now you say streamline what's unique about this this is filling in talking here.
Is it you don't have to -- -- wanna do more to go through the refinancing process you use your current mortgage and make you work.
You've got -- right odd because you qualified Brian originally for the FHA.
There's no qualifications necessary you literally could be unemployed believe it or not.
There's no credit reporting whatsoever.
I actually just had it done for my side.
And -- thirty days to streamline FHA was approved seemed almost 300 dollars a month and it's just something really that nobody knows about.
That I want our -- -- he got that FHA -- go after she if you could streamline it down anything we should over the guidelines before we move on.
Yeah yeah we'll quick bright idea first of all no appraisals necessary.
That's very very important and you really are looking at a situation right now where if you just get the necessary information.
Two and a mortgage broker of the lender that you're dealing wet.
They will look at this they don't have to -- that credit report like I said it's a no lose situation for the homeowner.
And it gives -- and the most important thing Brian is it doesn't matter if your house is underwater.
Because they're going from the original purchase price.
Taking it down took some.
President interest rate competitive numbers and saving a homeowner money and you of course you must be current on your payment you cannot be behind.
You gotta be current on the payment.
I'd say that's important -- you could save about 300 dollars a month so that you indeed help or more right there Bob this is also adjusting real quick.
Is it if you are lucky enough to have a job be given -- make your payments is is also an opportunity.
For you to to get ahead of the game correct.
Yet it is and I and I had -- -- yes number wide and the other -- Bryant.
Again I just can't.
Can't stress to that we're living in -- time work homeowners.
Have to almost treat this whole thing like a poker game he got to find out what's going out -- out there in the lending market today.
And we heard yesterday that big controversy about.
You know the head of Fannie and Freddie the -- he said they're not gonna principal reduced that's caused a lot of controversy amongst everyone.

And as weak storm -- continue to cover subjects to rebuild their dreams to get them back on track in different areas.
It's all right he is Bob -- if you have any questions for Bob.

[I drafted this about a year ago (2008 May 08), and then forgot about it. I came back today and made a couple of small edits, but surprisingly, the changes in the past year are mostly details. The Twitter Blacklist has closed, hashtags have become ubiquitous, and Quotably has gone away. But the Twitter spam problem still looms, and is definitely not solved. So I decided to post it mostly as-is, because I think it's still mostly right. And because I don't have time to edit it a lot more. - rew]
[About a year ago] I was in a twitterscussion with @greywolf about twitterblacklist.com [now closed] reminded me of the oft-rehashed discussions about Real-Time Blackhole lists for email. People are making the same arguments almost verbatim about emerging anti-Twitter-spam tools now. I think, though, that the frothing indignation about the problem these tools are causing a relatively few legitimate users likely stems from a widely-shared ignorance of the emerging spam storm that's coming on Twitter.
Many Twitter users think it is mostly immune to serious spam. They'll frequently say things like greywolf said: "twitter has the easiest self regulating mechanism you think someone is spam stop following".
But it's not nearly that simple, nor is Twitter safe.
One reason is that keyword-tracking ("track oranges" and you'll see tweets that include the word 'oranges' in them, even from users you don't follow), hashtags, and tag channels (these last two closely linked), three very useful tools for Twitter-savvy users, are extremely susceptible to spam abuse.
The spam slime include keywords and hashtags to get their spam links (usually with a deceptive description) to show up in the twitstream of all the users following those terms. Since those users are tracking words, not the spammer, the fact that they aren't following the spammer's id is irrelevant; the spam still gets delivered.
Since Twitter has essentially no tools (more on this in a moment) to combat this, the only way to protect yourself is to not use keyword-tracking at all, which sort of throws the baby out with the bathwater. Thus, this spam is parasitic on its host (keyword tracking), and very difficult to extract without killing the host.
At least one spammer uses the term 'Destin' and sends out multiple links daily under automated usernames (vick33728d or the like) purporting to offer a headline about beach news and a headline to a local beach newspaper. Each of these links forwarded (last I checked) to some "learn at home" scam site. Pretty normal stuff. But they're obviously just testing the waters: there were several a day for a week or so, then it went quiet again. As much as I respect the Twitter team's work, I don't think it's because they found a way to keep spammers from signing up.
You see this same pattern from email spammers. They try out new modes of eluding spam filters in small numbers at first, and once they find something effective, then cometh the deluge.
The insidious spammer has another attack vector. Since twitter accounts are free and easy to create, the spammer can create as many as he likes. Then with each account he can follow 20,000, or 40,000, or however many user ids he can identify, using an automated tool. The cost to the spammer of doing this approaches zero.
Twitter made this harder by placing limits on the rate at which you can follow people, and placing some flags on the ratio of followed to followers. Still, this only means the spammer has to create more Twitter accounts, not that the practice will change. And just as spammers using temporary email accounts for sending, it matters not at all if the account is blocked or deleted within hours. There are no practical limits on the creation of these. They're an inexhaustable supply.
But how does it work for the spammer? Well, when one user follows another, the second user receives an email notice that someone has followed them. That provides two possible benefit paths for the spammer, and 2 costs for the victim.
The first benefit path for the spammer is that the victim will just follow anyone who follows them, "until they have some reason not to". Many people, especially new Twitter users, are so glad to have a follower that they'll just click the link and follow them back. (Note that phishing attacks are coming, too, though I haven't yet seen any here). Once the victim has followed the spammer, the spammer gets at least one free shot where their spam tweets will be seen by the victim before being un-followed. More likely, they'll get several before the user manages to find the time to block them (or figures out how, because Twitter doesn't make it real obvious for n00bs how this is done).
The second benefit path for the spammer is that the victim, seeing the "follow" notice, will at the very least visit the spammer's Twitter page, and with any luck, click on the spammer's web link. Voila! A visit to a web trap, there to do whatever it is spammers always do when they can lure a visitor onto one of their landing pages.
In each individual case, the victim will un-follow the spammer, limiting the amount of spam that can be inflicted. But in the aggregate – among all Twitter users – this is not a negligible effect. The fact that it might not cost me very much doesn't mean that the total cost of it isn't large. It's essentially without bound, because the cost to do it is roughly zero.
The problem that concerns me more is that each follow by a spammer creates a small, but non-zero, burden of action on the recipient.
If a spammer creates an account and follows 20,000 users, each of those 20,000 users will receive an email message, and will have to stop for a moment and make a decision: visit the link, ignore the follow, follow blindly, etc. Even if they just delete the email, they have to take action.
This isn't a big deal if one or two spammers do it; but just like with email spam, it doesn't scale. People used to make the same argument about email spam: "Oh, spam's not a big deal, quit fussing about it. If you get a message and you don't want it, just hit the delete button."
But most people have learned, too late and to their chagrin, that this only works when the spammer cloud is nascent. When an infinite number of people can at zero cost send me an infinite number of such messages, I don't have time to hit the delete button that many times.
The cognitive burden placed on the aggregate group of users or victims grows larger and larger, which is the inherent threat of the spam problem. If spam growth were contained where it could grow no faster than linearly with the number of spammers, it would not be such an issue.
The reason spam is such a terrible problem is that the power of automation lies almost entirely on the side of the offenders, not the victims. Gmail and other email spam systems have helped to reverse that with hybrid systems that include content filtering, which is the most accurate way.
But for instant messaging-based systems like Twitter, there is no point in the system at which it is cost-effective or time-effective to inject content filtering prior to the user seeing it.
Thus the architecture of Twitter itself (and any similar system), lends itself to abuse by making it difficult to produce automated tools that could tip the balance of power back in favor of the victims.
This is exacerbated by the fact that many Twitter users don't yet see this problem emerging. This may be because most people have no in-depth knowledge of spam fighting, and don't recognize the parameters and characteristics of the problem. It's somewhat analogous to a beginning programmer who doesn't know anything about big-O notation complaining that other people keep writing confusing code, and why don't they just bubble-sort everything.
When people lack the tools or the knowledge or the experience to estimate the danger of the emerging spam threat on Twitter, they will react badly — sometimes overlaying an inappropriate ideological model on the problem — to the emergence of the first crude tools and attempts to deal with the problem by those who do recognize it.
Not to become too political, but it's also analogous to the way people who don't believe "terrorism" is a legitimate threat react to governmental measures intended catch terrorists. To be fair, if you don't believe terrorists are really after you, then certainly measures that inconvenience or threaten your ideals are half-assed at best, and openly dangerous at worst. So your perception of the problem affects your perceptions of potential solutions.
All that being said, just as with real-time black hole lists and other anti-spam mechanisms (like the odious "fill-out-this-form-I'm-blocking-unknown-email-addresses"), there are good and bad solutions. Good solutions, like greylisting, do some good without imposing an undue burden on legitimate users. They are effective while limiting collateral damage. Other "solutions" more or less indiscriminately destroy everything in sight that matches some limited set of criteria.
Real time black hole lists that lack a timely and usable mechanism to get an address removed are part of the spam problem and for the same reason: the ability to automate damage-dealing outstrips the ability of humans to manually undo it.
If http://twitterblacklist.com does not provide a mechanism either to periodically refresh its listing (if it's done automatically), or if its only criteria is one that does not correspond strongly to spamming (solely a follower/following ratio), then it is itself part of the problem and I think I would share part of greywolf's frustration. Likewise if there is no easy way for a user to notify them and say, "I'm a real human, check my content, remove me from this list," then it's a bad attempt at a good service.
Unfortunately, bad tools don't usually help, and the process of figuring out which are bad and good can be long and painful. On the spam front, Twitter's got a lot of nasty work ahead.

Ford Interceptor or Chevy Caprice PPV. That's the choice the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has to make since the mainstay of its 1,400-plus police car fleet, the Chevrolet Impala, won't be sold after 2014.
Police begin testing a 2013 Interceptor and Caprice PPV in a few weeks after one of each was bought in August and outfitted with lights, sirens, radios, prisoner cages and stripes. After a week's test in each of the city's six police zones to get "the voice of our customers," a choice will be made, said Assistant Chief John Lamb.
Sheriff John Rutherford said he's checked out both models but wants to hear what officers say first.
"I might like one vehicle over the other, where the guy who sits in it for 12 hours might like something different," Rutherford said. "I mainly want to hear from the troops."
The front-wheel-drive V-6 Impala started police work in Jacksonville in 2005, replacing the aging rear-wheel-drive V-8 Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser. Now a replacement is needed again as Chevrolet pulls the plug on the current V-6 Impala. One possibility is the police version of the Ford Taurus in either a front-wheel-drive 280-horsepower V-6 or all-wheel-drive turbocharged 365-horsepower V-6. The other is the rear-wheel-drive Caprice PPV with 301-horsepower V-6 or 355-horsepower V-8.
Ford and Chevrolet have re-engineered them for police use with strengthened frames, brakes, cooling systems and electronics. Both are roomy for officers up front with carved-out seat cushions to fit gun belts and have wider center consoles for radios and computers. Jacksonville's motor pool installed ultra-bright flashing lights on top, in the front and rear as well as in the fender vents.
"The Caprice is a great car," Lamb said. "The Ford seems roomier with more handling and seems really well put together."
The Sheriff's Office makes the decision in March, then bids in October for 100 new cruisers that go into service in January 2014. Lamb said they don't have final prices yet, although Motor Trend's tests list base prices for fully equipped cruisers at $29,155 for the Ford and $31,745 for the Chevrolet.
Area sheriffs don't have many of the new cruisers yet. St. Johns County has two new Caprice V-8s, while Ford Interceptors could be coming. Clay County Sheriff's Office Capt. Carl Harter said some new Chevrolet pickup trucks have been "very useful" in rural areas, and he is waiting to see if an economical replacement for the current Impala is offered. Nassau County purchased some Dodge Chargers to supplement its relatively new Impalas.
The Florida Highway Patrol has new Dodge Charger Pursuits as it phases out Ford Crown Victorias.

After unseasonably cold temperatures dominated the weekend weather discussion Saturday in Chicago, snow will be the centerpiece of weather activity today. According to the National Weather Service, Storms coming from the west are expected to drop somewhere between 1 and 3 inches across the area as the day goes on. There's a chance for lake-effect snow to add to that total in northwest Indiana, and accumulations in southern Wisconsin are more likely to be in the 3-5-inch range. Temperatures today will remain chilly, in the 20s.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
An investigation of the Cedar Creek Connector bus service found no evidence of illegal activity but concluded that some riders were trying to "inflate" ridership to show the need for a permanent route, according to the Sheriff's Office report.
Cumberland County spent $14,400 on the pilot project to provide shuttle service from Fayetteville's bus transfer center on Old Wilmington Road to the Cedar Creek community. Residents had campaigned for the service to help them get to work and other appointments in Fayetteville. The pilot project ends Tuesday.
Inflated or not, the ridership fell well short of making the route financially viable, county officials said.
"I don't see it warranting any further discussion in the near future," Jimmy Keefe, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said Friday. "It does not justify the expense of going out there. I would rather put that money into another form of service that can help more people."
Keefe made the Sheriff's Office report public Friday after The Fayetteville Observer published a story on the investigation.
The Rev. Mark Rowden of Savannah Missionary Baptist Church spearheaded the campaign for the bus service. The investigator wrote that he saw Rowden picking up people who exited the bus at the transfer center and driving them straight back to Cedar Creek in his church van.
The detectives wrote that people "were paying to ride the bus to and from town to inflate the passenger numbers to show the need for a permanent route to Cedar Creek, when in fact the majority of the riders drove to the bus stop, and after riding the bus from either location would then get back into their vehicles to leave the area."
A few of the bus riders told the detective they were trying to inflate the numbers, the report said.
While potentially misrepresenting the need for a bus route, that's not illegal, officials said. Rowden told the detective only that "if someone needed a ride, he would give them one," the report said.
Rowden could not be reached for comment Friday. He said earlier this week that the bus service was for anyone to use.
"Never once did they say that this bus was specifically for people to go to work or to go to the doctor," he said. "It was a general contract for the public to ride, meaning anybody could ride."
County officials said Friday the investigation was prompted by citizen complaints made to the Planning Department and Sheriff's Office. One complaint was from a Cedar Creek resident concerned the countywide dial-a-ride service would disappear if the route became permanent.
That service remains in place and is available with 24 hours notice to anyone in need, Planning Director Tom Lloyd said Friday.
Keefe said the pilot project provided a useful benchmark for future discussion of rural transit.
"It was a risk we were willing to take as a board, based upon the community that thought they could sustain a bus service out there," he said. "But the ridership showed it was less than half what was considered an acceptable amount.
"Even with the perceived padding of the numbers," he said, "it still didn't make the requirement that we were looking for."

On 18 May 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to to publicly encourage a Palestinian/Israeli accord based on the 1967 borders. Not only that, but he did so in the context of a speech about freedom and self-determination throughout the Middle East before a largely unsympathetic audience at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the notoriously hawkish pro-Israel lobbying organization in the United States. His words were measured, even conservative, but it is worth revisiting them here:
…a lasting peace will involve two states for two peoples. Israel as a Jewish state and the homeland for the Jewish people, and the state of Palestine as the homeland for the Palestinian people; each state enjoying self-determination, mutual recognition, and peace. So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state.
It was a surprising speech, one that Obama may never have given if not for the death of Osama bin Laden and the resulting uptick in his approval ratings. Perhaps he learned in the first two years that political capital is a terrible thing to waste. Whatever the reason for his time, this was a speech with great symbolic import. A U.S. president mired in racialized conspiracy theories about his own origins and his own beliefs at home is not the most likely candidate to offer criticisms of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. And he's certainly not likely to do it before an audience at AIPAC, through a televised address. The speech means something, and it's important to consider both what it does and does not do.
