Check out a new clip from Peter Berg's "Battleship", the epic sci-fi action movie that is based (heh heh) on the Hasbro board game of the same name. The movie is already doing fantastic business overseas, once again proving that as long as stuff blows up real good, foreigners will see it. I call this the Michael Bay Overseas Box Office Rule TM. Mind you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I liken it to Americans loving the crap out of Japanese films involving toilet-dwelling zombies, chicks with big-boobs fighting zombies, and schoolgirls with ass-kicking abilities.
Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiance; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.
Starring Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård, Josh Pence, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, Jesse Plemons, Peter MacNicol, Tadanobu Asano, and blasting away May 18, 2012.

TAMPA — As a clothing saleswoman, Francy Cruz earns a salary that's a little more than minimum wage.
Still, when she saw a television ad urging eligible immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship — a process that will cost her $1,350 for herself and her daughter — she decided to delay no more.
"It's an important step," said Cruz, who is from the Dominican Republic. "The United States means freedom and opportunity."
Cruz, 43, of Tampa will join dozens of other permanent residents today during Naturalization Day, an event held by local attorneys offering free legal advice and assistance to immigrants applying for citizenship.
Immigration lawyers and advocates say legal residents often put off applying for citizenship because of the $675 federal naturalization fee or the English-language requirement, though citizenship carries far more rights and benefits — including the ability to vote — than residency.
In one high-profile example that has showcased the risks of forgoing citizenship, U.S. immigration officials arrested former University of South Florida student Youssef Megahed days after a jury acquitted him of explosives charges. Megahed, a permanent resident whose family had already applied for his citizenship, was jailed and put in deportation proceedings.
That probably wouldn't have happened if he were already a citizen, said John Dubrule, director of litigation at Gulfcoast Legal Services Inc. in St. Petersburg, which will host the day of free legal assistance.
A naturalized citizen could be stripped of citizenship and subject to deportation, but the government would have to prove that the immigrant had committed fraud or terrorist acts before or in the process of becoming a citizen, he said.
Sometimes permanent residents who, years earlier, paid penalties or served sentences for nonviolent offenses, such as marijuana possession, find a big surprise waiting when they apply for citizenship, Dubrule said.
"We see a fair amount of people who come into our office from citizenship applications having been put into immigration deportation proceedings," he said.
A Human Rights Watch report released earlier this week showed that between 1997 and 2007, the government deported almost 900,000 noncitizens from the United States after they served their criminal sentences. Of those, 20 percent were legally in this country. The government expelled 77 percent for committing nonviolent offenses.
"Some of these noncitizens have been forced into permanent exile for nonviolent misdemeanor offenses, even if they served a short sentence with a perfect record of good conduct" followed by years of employment and roots in a community, according to the report, dubbed "Forced Apart."
The report raised questions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement's public touting of the deportation of violent immigrant criminals, when those immigrants make up the minority of deportations.
But for immigrants such as Francy Cruz, a criminal record is not the problem. Money is.
A single mother, she plans to seek legal advice at today's event. But she still doesn't know how she will pay for the application fee for herself and her 19-year-old daughter.
She'll find a way, she said. As a citizen, her college-bound daughter, who wants to become a lawyer, would qualify for more student loans. And Cruz could use loans to return to college and realize her own dream of becoming a nurse.
"If I'm a citizen, things will be much better," she said.

No one cares
Wasn't he supposed to be done or close to done? The surgery and the age catching up?
I was arguing with some douche on ESPN radio a month ago who was a huge Jobber to the pen guy who was saying Rivera was close to done and the Yankees with their horrible bullpen needed Chamberlain in the pen. "What happened with Rivera and Crawford the other night?"
What a dumb f*ck he was.
No one cares
It's amazing how comfortable we've become with Mariano. I don't think some Yankee fans even realize the magnitude of this guy's greatness. When the ninth inning comes around and this guy comes in you rarely ever worry. The same can not be said for many other big league teams.
One of my favorite things in baseball have been at Yankees stadium, 2 outs in the 9th with 2 strikes and hearing how loud the stadium gets and see Mo strike out the guy and get the save. Awesome.
Eckersley and Hoffman are close. But Rivera will be the number 1 closer for a long time.
Or at least until Papelbon hits 40.
i think u can actually argue Mo was the single most important player during our major 10 year run..... hes one of my favorite yankees ever.... i appreciate every time i see him go out their... he is absolutely the best closer ever and we will miss him big time when hes gone...
I can't imagine baseball life without Mariano Rivera
Closers dont last (dominate)10 years. It never happens. Mariano is a freak. Thats why comparing Papelbon to him is ridiculous. Come back to me in 2015

I'm creating a site that is going to collect data from users. It's a classifieds. Users will be able to upload pictures videos and other forms of content. How do i protect myself or my company in terms of legal issues. What documentations will i need? I'm kinda lost and i don't know where to even begin.
Any help is greatly appreciated
First hit on google brought this up: http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/
It generates a privacy policy based on what you select, then emails you a link to retrieve it.
I did a quick run-through and it seems to look legit.
Lots more on google to help get you started:
Also, take a look at the ToS and privacy policy agreements on well known sites that provides similar services. That should give you a general idea of what kinds of things to include.
As Force Flow pointed out, there's many sites that will give you free templates for privacy policies & terms of service which can be a start.
That said, it's more than just a document that you need. Depending on what you are doing you may have significant liability risks and certainly have some risk with any site. While templates are useful, they don't replace expert advice and one little omission can come back to haunt you, as can a stipulation due to the laws of your particular state / country.
Furthermore, these documents only serve as a part of protection. You may want to invest in a corporate formation to further shield yourself, may need regulation approval and many other factors. It's not that you have to get an attorney to run a site but the larger your plans are, the more transactional your site is, the better sense it makes to do so.
You'll find good advice on a forum around the general ideas but even the lawyers who comment here don't replace direct advice from counsel so read up, try the template sites and see if that is enough for you to feel covered -- if not, there's many firms who specialize in these types of documents.
I know that this post may seem self serving, but I counsel my clients not to use legal forms they simply generate on the web.
First of all, I have found most of these generators are out of date, and not up to speed on the changes occasioned by new decisions. My favorite example of this is that most generators use a browser wrap and not a click wrap. More and more, courts are insisting on a click wrap to find the contract enforceable.
Click Wraps and Browser Wraps – Recently there has been a change in the way courts view and enforce the Terms of Service (TOS) and Privacy Policy (PP) of web sites. Previously, the courts have taken the view that a link to your PP or TOS and a statement that by using this site you agree to the terms and conditions will create an enforceable contract (called a "browser wrap" agreement.)
However, the decision in the case of Hines v. Overstock.com took the view that merely saying that by using a web site you have agreed to its terms does not mean that the user has had reasonable notice to those terms. His decision was that for the PP and TOS to be enforceable the site user needs to indicate his acceptance of these terms by a manifestation of assent. It is my belief that this decision changes the previous law of "browser wrap" to a new level, the "click wrap" (i.e. the user clicks his consent with an "I Agree" button.)
While the opinion of Judge Johnson is not binding on all courts, I am of the belief that it will be embraced throughout the court system. His decision reminds me of the decision in Parker v South Eastern Railway, an English case from 1877, which every first year lawyer learns in their Contracts class. In that case, the jury decided that it is NOT reasonable to expect people to read the "contract" on the back of a railroad ticket. This case has never been overturned and is the law in the U.S., having been used as the precedent and cited in case law to include the back of movie tickets, parking lot receipts, coat check receipts, etc. Given this old precedent, I think the Hines case will quickly become the law of the land with lawyers arguing that a browser wrap contract is no different than the back of a movie ticket.
To make sure your users have constructive notice of the terms contained in your PP and TOS we strongly recommend that you use an "I agree" click button on your web site for your PP & TOS when your users register and (if a commercial site) again during the ordering process.
Further, while a generated policy may have the right words, you need to understand that your TOS and Privacy Policy (PP) are contracts with your visitors. You need to understand not only what the visitor's obligations are; but more importantly what your obligations are concerning your site.
If you do not fulfill your obligations, which are many and require written documentation of your actions, you will be liable for breech of contract.
Working with an attorney knowledgeable in the area of Internet law will not only get you policies that are up to date, your attorney should work with you to understand the obligations imposed on both you and your visitor.
It is this interaction with your attorney in understanding what is contained in the policies that provides the value in using an attorney. Having that understanding is far more important than just putting the words generated on a page and thinking you are protected.

Dr. Jeffrey Blum, who was as skilled at making his pediatric dental patients laugh as he was at leading Shabbat and holiday services, died Nov. 28 at the age of 59.
Dr. Jeffrey Blum, who was as skilled at making his pediatric dental patients laugh as he was at leading Shabbat and holiday services, died Nov. 28 at the age of 59.
Hundreds of mourners from both those worlds — and more — turned out to pay tribute at his funeral on Nov. 30 at Beth Am Israel in Penn Valley, where the shul was nearly as packed as it is for the High Holidays.
His family and friends remembered him as a man who lived life with purpose, compassion and a terrific sense of humor.
His children eulogized him as a wonderful father and inspiration. And his best friend, Rabbi Jonathan Maltzman, talked of his aspirations from an early age.
"As kids, Jeff and I pretended to be rabbi and synagogue president on Shabbat mornings in my father's study at Beth Hillel," said Maltzman, whose father, Rabbi Marshall Maltzman, led the Wynnewood synagogue for three decades.
"After shul he would come over to our house with his toy dental kit and played dentist while I conducted funerals for dead birds. How many young boys aspire to become both a dentist and a synagogue president as an 8- or 9-year-old? Jeff knew what he wanted from life and he grabbed it."
A graduate of Akiba Hebrew Academy, Villanova University and the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine who grew up in Overbrook Park, Blum indeed achieved his goals. He served as a president of Har Zion Temple but in recent years moved to Congregation Beth Am Israel, where he was a regular Shabbat-goer and frequently led portions of the weekly service as well as the concluding service for Yom Kippur.
He helped pay for his schooling by working as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutor, playing the drums in a Jewish band and leading services as a shaliach tzibur at various synagogues.
As a dentist, "Dr Jeff" was like the Pied Piper whose ability to charm children led to a successful pediatric practice on the Main Line. His office was filled with toys and brightly colored walls painted with large and familiar characters. With his knack for imitation and funny voices, he managed to make his young patients laugh rather than cry in fear.
As Maltzman put it: "How many kids do you know who love their dentist?"
Blum, who met his wife, Cindy, at Camp Ramah, also devoted time to Dental Volunteers for Israel, where he helped deliver needed dental services for poor children in Jerusalem.
On Nov. 3, six months after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and just a few weeks before his death, his family and friends raised $30,000 for "Team Dr. Jeff" at the Philadelphia Purple Stride Event for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his mother, Jean Blum; a son, Ethan Blum; daughters Abby Blum and Samantha Blum; and a brother, Rabbi Barry Blum.

With college basketball officially done I'm forced to move into the world of baseball. I used to love baseball betting but have definitely soured on it after a couple rough years on the diamond.
But that's in the past. Time to shake off the rust and start off with a bet I don't love but don't particularly feel bad about considering I'm siding with the defending Cy Young Award winner.
The Tigers' Max Scherzer was excellent in his 2014 debut but didn't get any run support. Now he's on the mound for Detroit's first road game of the season against a Dodgers team that has lost its only game as an underdog so far this year.
Los Angeles may be in for a good run in the next few weeks because nine of the next 11 games are against the Diamondbacks and Giants, whom the Dodgers have already faced this year. They would even see an Arizona pitcher or two three times before April 21.
But those other two games are this quick series against Detroit and at the start of this West Coast swing I like the road team.

Take a Stand to Eliminate Pediatric AIDS
FACT: Every day, more than 500 children die of AIDS because they do not have access to the HIV medicines they need to survive and thrive.
And while incredible strides have been made to connect adults to HIV treatment, children continue to be left behind when it comes to advances in medical research and access to lifesaving medicines. They can't be treated as miniature adults -- they need medicines, care, and support that is appropriate, tested, and proven for their specific ages.

Last month ministers set out options for long-awaited reforms to support for elderly people, which could include compulsory charges to cover the cost of nursing home care or home help and establish a "National Care Service".
It was proposed that all pensioners pay as much as £20,000 either at retirement or after their death in order to contribute to the spiraling cost of care caused by England's ageing population. If they had to move into an old people's home they would have to pay an extra £17,000 a year for bed and board.
But now Andy Burnham, the recently appointed health secretary, has admitted that the enforced charge could be far less for those on low incomes.
He said: "It would be possible to vary how much people had to pay according to what they could afford… what savings or assets they had.
"We want a fairer, simpler and more affordable system than now."
The Green Paper on care and support for adults says that, rather than the Government deciding on a set amount in advance, "it would be possible to vary how much people had to pay according to what they could afford".
"The size of people's contribution could be set according to what savings or assets they had, so that the system was more affordable for people who were less well-off."
If a "sliding scale" were introduced whereby elderly people contributed according to their means, the better-off could be forced to pay even more than £20,000 in advance for services they may never use.
This would retain the unfairness of the current regime, under which thousands of middle-class pensioners with more than £23,500 in assets are forced to sell their family homes or raid their life savings to pay for care – while those who have never put anything aside are looked after by the state.
The Green Paper was meant to tackle this problem, and one section admits: "One of the main issues that people talked about was how to make sure that any new funding system was fair to those who have worked hard and saved all their lives.
"Many people were angry at the idea that they would have to pay more if they had worked hard and saved than if they had chosen to spend all their money and not bothered to save."
Neil Duncan-Jordan of the National Pensioners' Convention likened cribed the sliding scale scheme to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic".
The Green Paper also seeks to abolish the "postcode lottery" that allows councils to restrict services only to those with the most severe needs, providing no help to people who cannot wash or dress themselves.
All pensioners would also be given free assessment of their care needs and advice, whereas currently those with significant assets receive no help at all.
Consultation on the Green Paper continues until November but no new regime is likely to take shape before 2014.
The delay was criticised by charities when the document was published in July, along with the fact that changes could be funded by scrapping a popular disability benefit called Attendance Allowance.

According to Lenovo, the S10-3t is available in two different designs (or colours, depending on how you see it): Rain Flower Pebble and Meteoric Stone. Suffice to say they do a good job in expressing one's individuality in a world where most mobile computers are built with boring, single-colour tones.
Notice that shiny bar in situated in at the bottom-centre of the screen? At first glance it seems like nothing more than a hinge and swivel switch for opening up the device and converting it into tablet mode, but a couple of light knocks on it with a pen revealed that this 'hinge' is actually made out of metal and not plastic. Score one to Lenovo for an additional bit of hardiness and durability.
Also, unlike most manufacturers which only focus on beautifying the top of a laptop or netbook, Lenovo has seemingly taken it further by putting the base of the S10-3t through a touch of individuality and style. Instead of a dull black-coloured base, the S10-3t sports a checkerboard-like pattern, complete with uniquely-designed heat vents that look every bit as appealing as they are functional, as shown below:
Of course, it can be argued that the only time a user would ever need to look at the notebook's base is when repairs or hardware upgrades are needed, or when the battery is being removed. That being said, it is still a nice thing to have.
And now, on to the built-in ports:
The S10-3t's port side is kept fairly simple: there is a Kensington-compatible slot located at the extreme left corner, followed by the obligatory DC-in socket for charging and an Ethernet port for cabled connections. An additional heat vent is also located here, along with 3.5mm jacks for a microphone and earphones/headphones.
The starboard side of the S10-3t is a lot more spartan: there is nothing except for a wireless hardware switch, two USB 2.0 ports and a VGA-out. That being said, there is also something interesting about this area: apparently, a TV-out socket was originally meant to come standard with the S10-3t, but may have been pulled for various reasons. Regardless, the empty TV-out port is still present even in the review unit, albeit having been sealed up with rubber. This is a real pity though, as a TV-out feature would have really helped to differentiate the S10-3t from the variety of netbooks and tablets in the market today.
The S10-3t's front is kept extremely clean, so those expecting a variety of ports or connectors may probably be disappointed. In addition to the obligatory SDHC card reader, the onboard microphone's speakerhole is also located here.
Next up: the internals!

Glock Question
Can you remove the barrel from a Glock 20 install a barrel from a Glock 22 & shoot .40 cal? Able to switch back & forth like I do with my Pointman?
No. The barrels are not the same.
People have fired .40SW out of 10mm pistols, similar to firing .38spl out of a .357mag, but it is not recommended.
Check with some of the after market barrel makers for a dedicated .40sw barrel for a G20. And don't expect perfect feeding from a 10mm mag. Also, change the spring.
I think he may mean just swapping barrels out in the G20. I don't think the G20 was designed with that in mind.
People should not fire .40 cal in a 10mm because when doing so the 40 cal cartridge is held in place by the extractor. ( both rimless cartridge's, 40 cal's shorter length)
I am considering a Gloc0k 20 because of the 15 round capacity. The idea of possibly switching the barrel and shooting .40 cal came from my doing that with my Dan Wesson 1911. I swap the barrel and recoil spring and it feeds and functions perfectly off the 10mm magazine. I did this because 10 mm ammo was scarce for awhile.
40 cal and 357 sig easily converted to shoot 9mm
In the CTD catalog #404 page 46, CTD offers Glock conversion barrels. "convert your Glock .40 S&W or .357 into a 9mm simply by switching barrels and using a 9mm magazine."
Has anyone tried this conversion? This makes me wonder if the 40 cal can be converted, why not the 10mm?
I have 2 of them on order right now for 2 of my M22s.
Lone Wolf Barrels
Replacement 40 cal or the 9mm conversion?

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Maybe you've been thinking about riding your bike to work but need an extra push.
If it's a push you need, the Saratoga Healthy Transportation Network is stepping up to offer that push in the form of a gold-colored conglomeration of old bike parts mounted on a pedestal.
Suitable for display along with citations for work safety records or commendations from corporate offices in a far-away city, the "Gear Head" trophy is being offered to the Saratoga County business that can get the highest percentage of its work force to commute to work by bicycle, foot, or public transit on May 15.
Dubbed "Bike to Work Day," the event will culminate Bike Week, a national event designed to promote bicycle advocacy. Last year, a similar contest was held in Albany, and will expand to Saratoga County for 2009.
"The idea is to get those people who may not ordinarily ride to work to try it for a day. One trial might lead to more habitual use," said David Delozier, who is coordinating the event for the Saratoga Healthy Transportation Network.
Anyone commuting to a work site within Saratoga County is eligible to participate.
Even three weeks before the event, Delozier said numerous Spa City businesses and organizations have registered "teams," including Serotta Competition Bicycles, Empire State College and the Saratoga Springs High School.
In addition, some smaller businesses on Broadway have pledged some level of support, he said.
Following the event, the company with the highest percentage of employees riding bicycles (or using public transportation) to get to work will be eligible to receive the Gear Head.
The trophy, made from recycled bicycle parts, will be bestowed upon this year's winner and then passed to the following years' winners.
With several teams expecting 100 percent participation from employees, Delozier said the recipient of this year's trophy may come from a drawing.
To support new bicycle commuters, the Healthy Transportation Network will host a breakfast event from 7 to 9 a.m. Friday, May 15 at the Saratoga County Arts Council building, on the corner of Broadway and Spring Street. Anyone commuting to work by bicycle, foot or public transit is welcome.
In addition to encouraging people to use a healthier form of transit, Delozier said the group also hoped that riding a bike to work would inspire some commuters to re-think where they live relative to where they work.
"Maybe people will decide to live closer to work, which would make bicycles a more viable way to commute," he said.
To form a team, Delozier said people should consider asking their co-workers. Competitors will face off in one of two categories: one for businesses with fewer than 10 employees, and one for businesses with more than 10 employees.
To register and get more information, go to www.healthy
transportation.org. Delozier can be contacted at info@healthytransportation.
Participants are asked to register by Monday, May 10. Anyone curious about the Gear Head trophy can stop by Elevate Cycles, at 35 Van Dam St., Saratoga Springs, to get a first-hand look.

Facing a proposed 20 percent cut in state funding, the University of Arizona is offering an incentive for some faculty to retire.
The voluntary retirement incentive program would give eligible employees one year's pay for agreeing to retire at the end of the school year.
About 250 employees are eligible, said Allison Vaillancourt, UA vice president for human resources.
Eligible tenured faculty and certain staff workers will receive letters, according to an announcement made Tuesday. Among the requirements are a minimum age of 65.
In 2008, 26 percent of faculty were age 60 or older.
While there is the up-front expense of paying for the incentives plus paying others to cover the classes they would have taught if they'd stayed, the UA will realize some savings from the retirements.
The UA had resisted offering buyouts because leaders were concerned about losing top teachers and researchers. But Vaillancourt said the UA must now use all of its budget-cutting options.
"It's just one more tool that we're using to deal with our budget reduction," she said.
Vaillancourt said she did not know how much money could be saved. The deadline to accept the buyout is mid-March.
Faculty chairwoman Wanda Howell said it's a good opportunity for faculty members who were already thinking about retirement.
"It gives the university one more way to manage the budget cuts that are headed our way," said Roger Dahlgran, a faculty leader who chairs a committee on academic personnel policy.
"It's voluntary. Nobody's being forced to do anything," he said. "I think it's a good strategy for the university and potentially beneficial to the faculty."
Gov. Jan Brewer's plan to balance next fiscal year's budget includes a $170 million cut to the state's three-university system. The UA's share would be $66.6 million - about 20 percent of this year's state appropriation, which is about $345 million. The proposal needs approval by the Legislature.
The UA and its students already have shouldered about $100 million in state budget cuts since 2008. UA leaders increased student tuition and fees, consolidated academic units, cut 600 jobs and plugged some budget holes with federal stimulus money.
When Northern Arizona University offered a similar program last year, 40 of 125 eligible employees took the buyout, saving the school about $2 million, said NAU spokesman Tom Bauer.
NAU will offer the program again this year for 140 eligible employees and expects to save $3 million, he said. The cash incentive is worth 90 percent of the employee's base salary.
Arizona State University is also offering a similar program to 330 faculty members.

One of Giada De Laurentiis' ricotta cookie recipes is lemon ricotta cookies with lemon glaze. To make this recipe, first preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl, and set these ingredients aside.Continue Reading
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 stick of softened butter and 2 cups of sugar until the mixture has a fluffy consistency, approximately three minutes. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly between each one. Mix in 1 15-ounce container of whole-milk ricotta cheese, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon. Continue to beat the ingredients until they are all thoroughly incorporated, and then mix in the dry ingredients.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of dough onto the parchment-lined sheets for each cookie. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until the outsides of the cookies just start to turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets.
To make the glaze, mix together 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon until the glaze has a smooth consistency. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of glaze per cookie. Allow the cookies to set for about 2 hours or until the glaze hardens.Learn more about Desserts

Noticings: The Art And Science Of Social Invention
The last place I expected to find insights into how to make the world a better place (or have a deliciously good time) was the universe of science. (As a political science major and idealistic world peace advocate, I cut most of high school to hang out at the United Nations.) And the most unlikely mentor I could have imagined was a physicist. I was someone who thought "accelerator" was the gas pedal on a car, that science was abstract nerd stuff unrelated to anything human or remotely artistic or even particularly useful.
These days, I'll stop total strangers not only to point out beautiful interference patterns, but also to talk about how ideas such as symmetry — the basis of the Golden Rule — not only underlie all modern physics, but have a lot to tell us about fairness, and how we might discover which things are fundamental to all people, and therefore worth fighting for, and which are relative to history and culture. (It is the same notion of symmetry that Einstein used to show that the fundamental nature of the speed of light makes space and time secondary and elastic.)
My latest book is a biography/memoir about the late Frank Oppenheimer, my unlikely mentor and the younger brother of Robert (making him the "uncle of the atom bomb") — someone who thought deeply about the kinds of "social inventions" we need help us make a decent society and not destroy ourselves, as we are all too capable of doing. These social inventions — the current Copenhagen conference on climate change is a good example — arise from an understanding of nature and also human nature. In other words, from science, but also art and other ways of finding out what's true.
Most people know Frank through the "Exploratorium" he founded 40 years ago in San Francisco as a "museum of awareness" — a delightful amalgam of art and science and play that's been copied all over the world. But his creation had a political purpose: artists and scientists, as he said, were the official "noticers" of society — those who notice things that other people either have never learned to see, or learned to ignore.
I like to think of this blog — certainly a "social invention" — as being about "noticings," especially of connections between science and the rest of culture. Over the years, I've written many books, magazine articles, newspaper columns and public radio commentaries playing with these ideas. I run a series of art/science/politics/whatnot events based on them, and I teach them in my classes at USC.
Because the discoveries of science do change the way we feel about things, and therefore influence what we do. It makes a difference to understand that every human being on the planet is closely related not just to all other people, but also to all living things; to know that nature — at least as it looks to us — is full of dualities, that deep truths often contain contradictory aspects; to know that everything in the universe is changing and therefore progress is possible.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
Onell Soto reports this morning in the business news of our distinguished daily paper that mediation in SDG&E's previously denied CPUC application to cut power in case of fire threats is "working for critics, SDG&E."
According to Soto, "It's a new stage in the mediation process, which surprised some participants simply by bringing SDG&E officials together with people who saw its shut-off plan as selfish folly that risked lives."
The article ends: "The company (SDG&E) is looking for ways to reduce its legal liability and prevent fires from getting out of control. It was forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to settle claims when its lines were implicated in three big 2007 wildfires."
SDG&E has apparently gone through some effort to keep quiet one way it plans to reduce its liability without getting all of its power lines underground before 2063: the WEBA application, now set for approval by the California Public Utilities Commission within the next two months, all without public hearings (see SDG&E's WEBA application A. 09-08-020 and related supporting testimony without public hearing).
WEBA (short for Wildfire Expense Balancing Account) will be SDG&E's dumping ground for legal expenses resulting from wildfire claims that SDG&E states are a necessary part of the business of electricity transmission. This makes perfect sense as long as the power lines are not yet underground.
According to the application, all wildfire expenses (legal or otherwise) that are not paid off by wildfire insurance will be passed along to SDG&E ratepayers. The pass-through of wildfire costs will be made partially each month until the balance is paid off.
Debra Reed, who testified as part of the WEBA application, was SDG&E CEO until a Union-Tribune interview was published where she defended SDG&E's shut-off position that resulted in the state-mandated mediation.

My name is Jackie Fearon and I have over 10 years experience in website design. As well as creating and maintaining new websites, I offer my freelance services to update websites that you may already have with another company.
My formal web design qualifications include a First Class Honours degree in Computing with Multimedia, a HNC in Computing and a City & Guilds qualification in Web Design.
Website Design
I create original web designs that engage your target audience and adapt for all devices - mobile phones, tablets and computers.
All the new websites that I build have a CMS (Content Management System) included - with Wordpress often being my customer's preferred choice. Having a CMS allows you to update your pages yourself should you wish to.
Website Marketing
All the websites that I create are designed with SEO in mind, I make sure that your website contains the necessary words and pages to get you found by your target audience.
I offer website marketing services, including SEO, Google Adwords (Pay Per Click), Social Media (Facebook, Twitter etc) and email marketing - build a customer database via a form on your website.
Web Design Testimonial
Jackie does all my website designs and helps me with my PR stuff on emails. She is very reliable and always delivers in the time frame she says. And is always at the end of the phone day or night.
We have worked together now for more than 5 years, she built my original site and created my two new ones. Highly recommended.Valerie Simpson
Web Design Testimonial
Jackie is an excellent web designer and I recommend her to anyone without reservation. From putting my first initial thoughts down on paper, what my page should look like, to the finished website she was able to capture my vision perfectly.
I have had such good feedback from customers about my website and its ease of use. Jackie is highly professional, very helpful, reliable and excellent value for money.Isabel Lavers
Low Cost Web Design
As a freelance website designer, I'm able to offer very competive web design prices when compared to big website design companies who have large overheads. I'm happy to provide quotes over the phone, and to come to you to discuss your website requirements in depth.

My relationship is over. I've ended it for the sake of my sanity. It is hard, but it has to be. She will begin working with her mother at the new family business, and she will begin paying rent and money on bills.
But it saves me from hearing her cruelty. She doesn't feel that she has the place to berate me if we aren't together, so at least I can feel better about myself. She complained that we will never be able to get better and get together, because she is insecure about us, and my ending it just makes her more. If it has to be that way, it has to be. I'm not giving up my self-esteem for her. She builds herself, I build myself. If that is all we will do, then separately we will make it. I don't care. I'm not willing to give up my mental health for someone else. Call me a jerk. An *******. Self-centered. whatever.
The girl that I work with (the paralegal in my team) i think is trying to sabotage me. I'm not sure its on purpose, but I feel that if she is given ANY opportunity, she will throw me under the bus without a second thought about it. She won't give up any work to me. Not even copying. She is a paralegal! Is she billing for copying? She really should be preparing documents, emailing them to me to finish, and get out. But she tries to do it all. And people in the office are noticing. And not just other secretaries.... attorneys! Since she is at a networking thing for the next couple of says, I'm going to do my best to get things corrected around here! Email my attorney and ask him for more ability to do work. I'm not into throwing her under the bus, I'm just planning on requesting more work.

Patient Comments: Phobias - Cause
What was the cause of your phobia?
Main Article on Phobias
Comment from: Ridley, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: August 09
I have an extreme phobia of dogs. Ever since I was bitten on the arm by a 150lb great dane, I've feared and hated dogs. Just the sight of a dog is enough to put me in a panic attack.
Comment from: NikkiM0923, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: January 11
I have a phobia of Water ever since an accident when I was ten. I was on a boat that had different levels. I was on the third level and reading. Just because I didn't want to jump like everyone else. Too many people on one side on the first or second level and it flipped. I went to jump off and my leg got caught in a rope. I couldn't go. Finally when I was untangled from the rope the boat had flipped and sunk all the way and I was trapped. Ever since then the only water I can go near is water in my house. Baths and drinking and sink water.
Comment from: Totoro, 13-18 Male (Patient) Published: May 31
I'm really scared of clowns, the phobia started after a random dream about a clown trying to kill me, and since they have just freaked me out.
Comment from: firstname.lastname@example.com, Female Published: March 09
I have 3 phobias which will cause an accident. 1 is I have a fear of spiders. 2nd a fear of being raped and 3rd of vomiting. I have had these fears most of my life. They are all ridiculous but I cannot shake them. Every certain part of the year is real bad. I have lost so much weight during these times.
Comment from: cdodson, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: October 16
I have a fear of fish, moths, and bugs. However I have no idea why. I've never had a traumatic incident with any of them. But whenever I encounter any of them I have a panic attack.
Comment from: pr3st0l3tt3r, Female (Patient) Published: April 19
I have an extreme fear of snakes. Just thinking of a situation or presence of a snake will normally put me into a panic attack. Honestly, I think it stemmed from an episode of South Park when I was little and flipping through the channels, and a cartoon snake swallowed a whole cartoon person, but I'm not sure if that's quite it.

Privacy Policy
Revolar Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
DATE OF LAST UPDATE: March 3, 2017
We respect your privacy. This means we seek to always be transparent about:
- our data practices and how we keep your data safe
- how your information is shared, and how we let you control data sharing
- how we collect data that helps us improve our products and services
We don't sell personally identifiable data to anyone.
Revolar designs products and services that empower users to lead more secure lives. This Privacy Policy applies to our Revolar device products ("Devices"), our website located at www.revolar.com ("Site"), the Revolar mobile application (the "App"). The Devices, Site and App are collectively referred to in this Policy as the "Revolar Service," and by electing to use the Revolar Service you consent that we may process the data that we collect from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Because our business and the environment we all live in changes, this Privacy Policy may change over time, but any future changes will not affect data that was collected under a previous version of this policy. If any modifications substantially change your rights, we will provide notice on the Site and/or through the App, and we may also provide notice to you at an e-mail or other contact method you have provided to us.
If something in this policy does not make sense or if you have any questions, please contact us at email@example.com.
When activating a Revolar Device, you will need to download the Revolar App and provide certain information about yourself and your Revolar contacts. We use this information to personalize your use of the Revolar Device and App and allow you to access their full range of functionality. When you use the Revolar Service, we collect data such as your name, contact information, the names and contact information of your Revolar contacts, your specific location (see "Revolar Location Features" below), and for certain uses of the Revolar Service we may ask you for basic health information such as height, weight and gender, and transmit this data to Revolar. Depending on the features you use in the Revolar Service, we use your basic health data, together with data on your steps taken and the location of those steps, to provide you with information such as alternative routes, calories burned, and distances traveled. In addition, when you send alerts through the Revolar Services, your Revolar contacts receive a text and/or an e-mail with a note that you have sent the alert and a link that they can use to track your location until the alert is canceled. These messages to your Revolar contacts can be forwarded or otherwise shared by your Revolar contacts with others without our, or your, knowledge.
Revolar collects industry standard data from everyone who visits our Sites—even if you haven't registered for the Revolar Services. This includes log data that automatically records information about your visit, such as your browser type, operating system, the URL of the page that referred you, the different actions you performed, and the IP address you used to access pages on the Site. We use this type of information to provide you with an experience that's relevant to your location based on the IP address, to prevent Site misuse, and to ensure the Site is working properly. We also collect data from cookies. To see how we use Cookies, please read our Cookie Policy below.
When you access the App, data about your activity is transferred to our servers. This data is stored and used to provide the Revolar Service and is associated with your account. Each time you create an alert through a Device, we log data about the transmission. Some examples of the log data include the type of alerts you generate, your location data, your current Revolar contacts and their contact information, and related data that allows us to provide the Revolar Service.
Certain features, such as step tracking and routing features, of the Revolar Service provide for coordination with third party apps, software or other services. When you use these features, information from those third party apps, software or other services is shared with Revolar and collected and stored in our database to provide the Revolar Serviced. Each time such a synch occurs, we log data about the transmission, such as the time and date, device battery level, and the IP address used when synching, if any.
We do not view or store your credit card information. This is handled by our third-party payment processor. We store your name and shipping address so we can process your order through our fulfillment partner. You may also purchase a Device through the Revolar App and we collect data relating to that transaction in accordance with this paragraph.
Whenever you contact Revolar for help, we collect your name and email address along with additional information you provide in your request so that we can provide you with assistance and improve the Revolar Service. Where you contact Revolar for any other reason or through any other channel, we may collect information you provide to us in that contact. You can also contact Revolar on public forums such as Twitter or Facebook; however, we cannot maintain the privacy of your communication to us if you contact us through these channels.
To get the benefit of your Revolar Device, you will need to add Revolar contacts in your App. Revolar lets you add contacts directly from your existing contact lists. When you share information with us about your contacts to add them as a Revolar contact, we use that information to contact them in the event you initiate a Revolar alert through your Revolar device. We do not store your phone's contact list, and, subject to retention periods set in our data retention policy, your Revolar contacts are deleted from our system after you delete them in the Revolar App. By agreeing to be a Revolar contact, each Revolar contact agrees to the provisions of this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Service.
The Revolar Service includes features that require the collection of specific location data. Some features of both the App and our Revolar Devices require us to collect location data like GPS signals, device sensors, Wi-Fi access points, and cell tower IDs, and/or other data that allows these features to perform as intended. We also track and collect such location and other data in the background on an on-going basis. If you are using a mapping feature, we may send this information to a third party provider to allow the full functioning of such feature and we ensure that such third parties are contractually prohibited from sharing this data with any third party beyond what is provided for in this Privacy Policy.
Revolar uses your data to provide you with the best experience possible, to help you chose your running and other routes wisely, to help you track your fitness and wellness levels, and to improve and protect the Revolar Service. Here are some examples:
- Data and logs are used to provide you with step and other health and wellness information and to help you chose walking, running and other travel routes wisely and safely.
- Data and logs are used as part of the Revolar Service to provide your GPS location to your Revolar contacts during the time you activate an alert until you cancel that alert.
- Contact information is used to send you and your Revolar contacts notifications, to inform you and your Revolar contacts about new features or products we think you would be interested in. Please see "Can I Opt-out Of Receiving Revolar Emails, Text Messages or Other Communications?" for information on how you can opt-out of future communications.
- Data and logs are also used in research to understand and improve the Revolar Device and Revolar Service; to troubleshoot the Revolar Service; to detect and protect against error, fraud or other criminal activity; and to enforce the Revolar Terms of Service.
- De-identified data that does not identify you may be used to inform the health, safety, and/or other public communities about trends; for marketing and promotional use; or for sale to interested audiences. See "Data That Does Not Identify You (De-Identified Data)" in the next section to learn more.
You can customize certain features of the Revolar Service by adding other types of information to your account, such as personalizing your alert messages and your profile. Whenever you add this type of data, we collect it and store it in your Revolar account and in our database.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data that includes a personal identifier like your name, email or address, or data that could reasonably be linked back to you. We will only share this data under the following circumstances:
- With companies that are contractually engaged in providing us with services, such as order fulfillment, email management and credit card processing. These companies are obligated by contract to safeguard any PII they receive from us.
- If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas or warrants served on us), or governmental or regulatory request, to enforce or apply the Terms of Service, to protect the security or integrity of the Revolar Service, and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Revolar, its employees, users, or others. If we are going to release your data, we will do our best to provide you with notice in advance by email, unless we are prohibited by law or legal process from doing so.
- We may disclose or transfer your PII in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization of our company. We will notify you if a different company will receive your PII and the promises in this Privacy Policy will apply to your data as transferred to the new entity.
Revolar may share or sell aggregated, de-identified data that does not identify you, with partners and the public in a variety of ways, such as by providing research or reports about safety, trends, or other matters of public concern. When we provide this information, we perform appropriate procedures so that the data does not identify you and we contractually prohibit recipients of the data from re-identifying it back to you.
You can direct us to share data with other parties, and you do so when, for example, you set up Revolar contacts in the App and trigger an alert through your Revolar device or synch your Revolar data with third party apps, software or other services. Once you direct us to share your data with a third party, that data is governed by the third-party's privacy policy or otherwise subject to use by the third party (e.g., your Revolar contacts) in their discretion. You can revoke your consent to share with the third party at any time in your Revolar App settings, by, for example, deleting a specific Revolar contact.
Revolar provides many ways for you to share data with us, other Revolar users, and the general public, such as on our Facebook page, Twitter or other social media. When you interact with us or others in these ways, you will be displaying your data based upon the visibility settings in your relevant social media account settings. Always check specific policies associated with any social media channel to understand what data will be visible to us and other users. Your posts on any Revolar message board or other widely viewable channel are visible to other users of such boards and channels.
Revolar may offer opportunities to participate in contests, giveaways and other promotions. Any data you submit in connection with these activities will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless the rules for those offers note otherwise.
Revolar may also ask you to participate in surveys (processed by Revolar or third parties) that help us understand your use of the Revolar Service. Any PII you provide to Revolar (or supplied by you or Revolar to such third-party survey providers) in connection with these surveys will only be used in relation to that survey and as stated in this policy.
We store your PII for as long as you use the Revolar Service and, for most data, for a period of one (1) year thereafter.
You can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to update or correct any PII you provide to Revolar through the Site. Data that you provide to Revolar through the App can be modified in the App. Backups of your data will be maintained by Revolar in our archive servers and stored for terms provided in our data retention policies as implemented and modified from time to time.
You can deactivate your Revolar App by deleting your Revolar contacts from the App and deleting the App from your smartphone or other qualifying device. Backup copies of this data will be removed from our server based upon an automated schedule, and we currently remove and destroy most PII data after retaining it for a period of one (1) year. Revolar may continue to use your de-identified data after you deactivate your account.
The Revolar Service is not directed at persons under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any PII from children under 13. If you are aware of a user under the age of 13 using Revolar, please contact us at email@example.com.
Yes, you can opt-out of receiving product update notices, marketing, or other e-mail messages we may send you by unsubscribing via the "Unsubscribe" link in any Revolar e-mail. You can opt-out of receiving text messages (alerts from Revolar device users or other text messages you receive as part of the Revolar Service) by texting STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT as a response to any such message or by contacting Revolar through any of the methods indicated below. Opting-out of these e-mails and/or text messages will not end transmission of important service-related communications that are necessary to your use of the Revolar Service.
Revolar uses a combination of technical and administrative security controls to maintain the security of your data. If you have a security-related concern, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Revolar Service is currently hosted and operated entirely in the United States and is subject to United States law. Any personal information that you provide to Revolar is being transferred to Revolar for use in the United States and will be hosted on United States servers. You consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States. If you are accessing the Revolar Service from outside the United States, please be advised that United States law may not offer the same privacy protections as the law of your jurisdiction.
Revolar uses cookies and other technologies to improve the functionality of the Revolar Service and in other ways consistent with our Cookie Policy.
Cookies are text files that are sent by servers to web browsers and stored on your computer. They tell us which parts of the Revolar Service you've visited so we can figure out which promotions you may like to see or to alert you to software compatibility issues.
Web beacons and pixel tags are images embedded in a webpage or email for the purpose of measuring and analyzing usage and activity. Revolar, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use web beacons and pixel tags to help us analyze usage and improve our functionality.
Social media tools, like widgets and plug-ins, may be used so you can share information from Revolar or otherwise on other sites such as Facebook and Twitter. These interactive mini-programs collect your IP address, record the pages you visit on our Sites or relevant social media sites, and set cookies that will enable the widget to function properly. Your interactions with these widgets are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them, not by Revolar's Privacy Policy. We also use the Facebook and Twitter pixel tags to help us understand how effective our marketing is on those sites.
We don't take a position on your use of "Do Not Track" signals, but use of such signals may impact your experience using the Revolar Service and the functionality of the Revolar Service as applied to you and the device through which you access the Revolar Service. We may modify our position on Do Not Track signals, and the functionality of the Revolar Service, as the law and policy in this area develops.
We use third-party advertising cookies to present you with opportunities to purchase Revolar products on our Site; and retargeting cookies, to present you with Revolar advertising on other websites based on your interaction on our Sites and other websites.
We use third-party data analytics platforms to improve the Revolar Service in a variety of ways.
You can email us with any questions or comments at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Sixth Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am presented by Hurley will feature performances by Timmy Curran, Dynamite Walls, Jon Foreman and Friends, OK Go, Chris Shiflett & The Dead Peasants, The Almost, Kate Voegele and Young the Giant.
The concert/surf contest will take place on June 26 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas.
The event will benefit San Diego and Oceanside chapters of StandUp For Kids (www.standupforkids.org), a national nonprofit volunteer outreach organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk, homeless, and street kids. Funds will be raised at a pre-event auction night set for June 25, as well as from beach vendors, sponsors and an after-party at the Belly Up Tavern. Admission to the beach concert is free to the public.
"The Bro-Am has been my favorite day of the year ever since we started it back in '05," said Jon Foreman, Switchfoot's lead singer. "To see our hometown come together to help out a deserving group of kids is an incredible experience — surfing, music, and the San Diego scene at its best. Last year was our biggest year ever, and we hope to top it again this year."
The 2009 Bro-Am raised $100,000 and drew a crowd of 7,000. This year's surf contest participants include riders representing Hurley, Billabong, Surfer Magazine, Jedidiah, Surf Ride, Macbeth, Jet Pilot, AKA, Surf-line.com and SIMR Surfboards as well as professional surfers Rob Machado, Tom Curren and Timmy Curran, and members of Switchfoot.
In addition, there will be a nerf surf jousting exposition between surf contest heats and an expression session.
Clothing brand Hurley will also have its "Phantom Truck" on location, allowing beachgoers to customize board shorts, win prizes, and potentially win an all-expense-paid trip to Indonesia with Rob Machado and the Hurley Team.
The Switchfoot Bro-Am will again work with San Diego-based Sustainable Waves to offer cutting-edge solar-powered sound and staging. Sustainable Waves utilizes the renewable energy sources of the sun to deliver pollution-free concerts.
At night, the festivities move from the beach to The Belly Up Tavern in nearby Solana Beach where Teva and Switchfoot will host an after-party featuring the Bro-Am All-Stars (featuring Switchfoot's Jon Foreman and Bro-Am performers past and present) plus Silent Comedy and The Howls to raise additional funds for StandUp For Kids.
