Lieberman says sub watch will be in capable hands
Groton - Retiring U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman reminisced Friday at Electric Boat about his early years fighting to restore the Seawolf fast-attack submarine program, said a good case could be made for a future three-subs-a-year production schedule and then figuratively handed the baton of future battles over defense programs to U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney.
"This may be my last visit as a senator," said Lieberman, D-Conn., during a speech to about 200 EB workers that the company videotaped and replayed for a reporter. "I really love this place."
Lieberman said that with both Courtney, D-2nd District, and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., on the Armed Services committees of their respective chambers, he was leaving his senior Senate position with "a lot of continuity" from other members of the state delegation.
"You've been a great ally of ours," said John Casey, former EB president and now an executive vice president of General Dynamics, EB's parent company, during an informal session with Lieberman after the senator's tour of the submarine-production facility off Eastern Point Road.
Lieberman said during a brief interview at the shipyard that he spent his early years in the Senate fighting on behalf of the Seawolf program. Then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney announced in 1990 that he was cutting by half the Navy's commitment to the program, hoping to slice $7 billion from the national budget as the first Bush administration attempted to cash in on a so-called "peace dividend" derived from the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Democratic legislators organized by 1992 to save the program from attempts to halt Seawolf production altogether.
Two decades ago, Lieberman said, many legislators and policymakers questioned the relevance of submarines in the modern era of warfare. But with their intelligence-gathering capabilities and ability to attack targets without sending military personnel into harm's way, submarines now are seen as integral to American freedom in navigating such far-flung waters as the South China Sea, he said. "Nobody questions their relevance to the national defense today," he added.
Lieberman said credit for the transformation can be laid at the doorstep of EB's 8,600 skilled workers, who have implemented a variety of shipyard efficiencies and designed submarines with remarkable capabilities. "I couldn't be prouder of what you do for the nation's security and prosperity," he said in his speech.
Courtney said Lieberman helped EB boost sub production from a one-a-year cycle to two boats a year. The boost in production, combined with new work to design a replacement for the Ohio-class submarine, has meant an increase in EB's workforce so far this year of nearly 300.
Courtney said he and Lieberman discussed with EB officials Friday other possibilities for generating jobs and revenue, including the possibility of attracting more repair work to the shipyard.
The legislators said EB might also benefit from a new Congressional Budget Office report that suggests a three-sub quota might be necessary in the future as Los Angeles-class submarines are phased out at a rate faster than replacements are scheduled to be produced.
"Instead of a two-sub debate, we may have a three-sub debate coming up soon," Courtney said.
"Why not?" Lieberman said of a three-sub schedule, which would maintain a Navy fighting force of 316 combat vessels. "There's a good case to be made for that."
Responding to concerns expressed by Blumenthal that a speeded-up schedule might be good for the near future but could erode the industrial base if cutbacks occurred later, Lieberman said he hadn't yet discussed the issue with Connecticut's junior senator.
"If it's a problem, it's a problem we can deal with," Lieberman said.

Awful Announcing brings us this video of Cowherd being a pompous prick in the way only he can.
Cowherd does two things here that we've come to expect from him—one is the "I could argue" deflecting construction, which you see all over the place; more important, though, is Cowherd's blaming of individuals for demographic problems.
"I could argue that if you still live in Cleveland at this point, you're bringing unemployment on, couldn't I?"
"If you live in Youngstown, Ohio should I have no sympathy that you're unemployed? You're kinda bringing it on yourself."
"If you live in Ohio or Indiana rurally, you're kinda bringing unemployment on yourself."
You'll remember, from when Cowherd was ripping on John Wall, that Cowherd loves this shit about athletes who don't have dads, and how they can't lead or share. As though it's John Wall's fault he didn't have a father, as though you address social problems by shaming lots of individuals. So today's Rust Belters—and not bad labor leadership, or the declining importance of American steel, or the rise of Japanese automakers—are to blame for their unemployment. And they need to leave their hometowns, because Colin Cowherd once moved to Bristol and got even more money. It's okay, though, he's sympathetic. Please. Someone better make this guy a cashier.

El Eurostars Maimonides Hotel invites you to take yourself back in time; in the very heart of the Jewish Quarter and with spectacular close-up views of the Mezquita, your senses will transport you to the days of the Caliphate and the great Maimonides, when Cordova, with over half-a-million keen inhabitants was the most advanced city of Europe. Art, culture, commerce and the financial capacity of Cordova irradiated light and progress over a continent that looked up to the grand capital of the Guadalquivir river with amazement and veneration.
It is precisely this spirit of Cordova that we want to instil in you during your stay in the Eurostars Maimonides Hotel, a spacious establishment in modern style with typical touches of Andalusian and Mudejar art giving it atmosphere, planned around a courtyard with its aromas and fountain that you cannot help but delight in. A courtyard coloured with the multi-hued geraniums dangling from the ornately barred windows and perfumed with the fragrances emanating from the jasmine and orange blossom.
Our main advantage lies in being less than one hundred metres from the great Mezquita of Cordova. You will almost feel like touching history when you look out of the window of your room and contemplate such a close up view of the second largest mosque in the world.
Moreover, the Eurostars Maimonides is the ideal location for visiting the city's most important tourist sites, such as the alleyways of the Jewish Quarter (La Judería - a Human Heritage site), the Synagogue, the Arab baths, the Roman Bridge, the Julio Romero de Torres Portrait Museum and the Calahorra Tower, where an interesting museum is to be found, dedicated to the three great cultures underlying the city history.
In addition, we are less than a hundred metres from the Congress centre and surrounded by the best restaurants, such as the Caballo Rojo, Churrasco, Puerta Sevilla or Casa Pepe. At the hotel restaurant you will be able to enjoy the best local cuisine, with typical dishes like the ?salmorejo? or the ?flamenquín?.
How to get there
Our main advantage lies in being less than 100 metres from the great Mezquita de Cordova.Map

Kickoff Celebration for Ellsworth's Knowlton Community Park Is This Sunday!
The BIG Kickoff Celebration for what will be the amazing new Knowlton Community Park is this Sunday (5/19) between 1 and 4pm! The location will be right there at the current park on State Street in Ellsworth! It's free and everyone is invited to attend!
Twenty five years ago folks in the Ellsworth area got together to build the Jump Playground, and yes I was one of those people on site that day with hammer in hand. The old wooden playground on the site of the old Knowlton School has been torn down, along with the school for that matter. You may still use what's left, some of the older playground stuff, the swings and the slides, the one lone picnic table, but what's forthcoming will be very impressive!
We're going to build an entire park, to enjoy for all seasons, and we need your help and participation. To begin with, come on out and PARTY with us this Sunday!
Here is what'll be going on: Flash! in the Pans Community Steelband and the Trisha Mason Band will be performing. There will be a Zumba demo, a Yoga demo, a yummy FREE Barbecue by Big Cat's Catering and delicious FREE Morton's Moo Homemade Ice Cream! Play in the pick-up 19th century baseball game, join the three-legged race & other fun challenge races & contests, bring the kids out for facepainting and view the pen-and-ink caricatures!
The new Knowlton Community Park is really going to be quite amazing, with an amphitheater, a pavilion and fountain, a children's water park, a beautiful walking path, along with the existing playground, and yes the ice skating rink will be there in the Winter!
Community Campaign Chair Michele Francis is excited about the event. "Our committee has been working on this event for months. Everyone is so enthusiastic about the park, and this is going to be a really fun afternoon. There'll be something for everyone – and we hope a lot of people will show up next Sunday. And, with everyone's help, a year from now we'll be celebrating our success and enjoying our beautiful new park."
Ellsworth City Mayor Gary Fortier will be making a SURPRISE announcement! And yes, I will be there broadcasting, I really hope to see you there as we learn more about the new Knowlton Community Park and how we can all help to build it!
The climax of the afternoon event will be the unveiling of the campaign "thermometer" showing the progress of the campaign so far, and an invitation to the public to join the effort to build a park for the people of Ellsworth and the surrounding area.
Plans for the park, created by local landscape designer Victor Rydlizky, are on display at Ellsworth City Hall and on the Ellsworth City website.
For more information, contact Michele Francis, Chair of the Community Campaign Committee, at 557-9282. firstname.lastname@example.com

During the month of July, Andell Family Sundays will focus on the special exhibition Hans Richter: Encounters. Richter loved to experiment with different media and to collaborate with other artists. He was a printmaker, painter, filmmaker, and writer. In his collaborations, he forged lifetime friendships. He was on the forefront of twentieth-century modernism, including Dadaism. One of the workshops at Andell Family Sundays is inspired by the playfulness, spontaneity, joy, and immediacy of Dada art and Richter's collaborations. LACMA invited dancer and performance artist Doran George to come up with a workshop, and he invited two of his singer/musican/artist friends to collaborate with him: Odeya Nini and Archie Carey. The result of their collaboration is the Dada Dance workshop. Unframed's Alicia Vogl Saenz spoke to Doran about what families can expect.
What is Dada Dance?
Any sound is a song, any movement is a dance in this workshop. Odeya, Archie, and I will help participants use their voices and their bodies to make unexpected sounds and movements. The words that come to my mind are playfulness, joy, strangeness, surprise, and curiosity, all of which are at the heart of Dadaism. Adults will be going back to childhood and recouping what we forgot. Children will have leadership in the family dynamic because they are teaching us adults about what is new in the world.
How will families work together in Dada Dance?
At the core of Dada Dance is the notion of collaboration in Hans Richter's work. The collaboration occurs on two levels: families will constantly collaborate with each other, and the families and groups of friends are collaborating with us, the artists, teaching the workshop. The other important notion is that we're not looking at movement and voice as separated things. Voice helps you do unexpected things with your movement, and movement helps you do unexpected things with your voice. Participants will work in groups or pairs with their family or friends. The groups will use voice and movement like a puppeteer. They will be vehicles for introducing surprising movement and sound.
What do you hope families will take away from this?
I would like them to try on a different identity, to try being Dada. To say to themselves, "Now I'm going to be Dada." It is similar to my workshop inspired by Levitated Mass last year in which groups became the sculpture. Everyone was capable of becoming Levitated Mass, and now they are capable of becoming Dada.
The art will be the experience. The workshop is the art, the joy families feel while making sounds and movements. In the spirit of Dada, it will be playful strangeness. It will be joyful and fun.

Many times we are quick to criticize but slow to praise. I would like to offer praise to CarolinaEast Emergency Room Staff and the staff of the 3400 ward.
Tuesday night, Dec. 3, my wife, Kathleen, the love of my life for 61 years, had a stroke. We arrived home around 6:30-6:45 p.m., after spending the day with friends in Nashville, N.C. She was very disoriented as she tried to get out of our van and was still disoriented as she entered our living room. I decided that it was best to take her to CarolinaEast Medical Center Emergency Room. We arrived at the Emergency Room at approximately 8:45 p.m. and Chrissy, the receptionist immediately checked her in. She, had a male nurse, whose first name is Danri, and who was very jovial and at the same time was very professional. I did not get her doctor�s name nor did I get the names of those who did an x-ray, a CAT Scan or blood work. Each one of them is to be commended for their professionalism. My wife was moved to room 3433 and the nurses, Stephanie, Julie and Shaquen and the hospital physician, Dr. Paddy, cared for her as if she was their mother. How heartwarming it is to know that a loved one is in very capable hands at a time such as this. She is doing great. The blood rerouted itself around the collapsed vein and is flowing as if nothing ever happened. Thanks to each of you for the part you played during her stay. Yes, God uses doctors and nurses to heal people. Then sometimes, He performs a miracle. How else could the blood have been rerouted?

The Portland Timbers—seventh in the MLS's Western Conference and 7-10-4 overall—defeated the league-leading L.A. Galaxy 3-0 on Wednesday night. In spite of their hangovers, the Timbers Army was in fine form for the upset. Someone trained a camera on the heart of the crew just before Jorge Perlaza scored Portland's second goal of the game in the 33rd minute, and their reaction was decidedly un-American. In a good way.

- 2 recipes pastry dough
- 3 1/2 cups pear and sour cherry mincemeat
- an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out half of dough 1/8 inch thick (about a 12-inch round). Fit dough into a 9-inch (1-quart capacity) pie plate and trim edge, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Chill shell 30 minutes.
- On lightly floured surface roll out remaining dough 1/8 inch thick (about a 10-inch round) and with a sharp large knife or pastry wheel cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Put a 9-inch cardboard round (see above) on a baking sheet and arrange 4 pastry strips 3/4 inch apart in middle of round. Working with 1 pastry strip at a time, weave remaining strips over and under pastry strips on round, beginning in middle and working out to sides, and letting excess hang over round. Freeze lattice top, covered loosely, on round on baking sheet until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Spoon mincemeat into shell, smoothing top. Lift lattice top together with round off baking sheet and slide pastry carefully onto pie. (If pastry sticks to baking sheet or round, pry loose carefully with a small knife.) Let lattice top soften until pliable and trim flush with rim of pie plate. Roll shell overhang up over edge of lattice top, crimping edge decoratively. Brush lattice top with egg wash and bake pie in middle of oven until pastry is golden and filling just begins to bubble around edge, about 25 minutes. Transfer pie to a rack and cool. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.

We oppose Islam, not Muslims. We are against hate, not faith
Here the paraclete is translated as "advocate" (one of a prophet's functions, and although anyone could potentially be qualified as an advocate, the context of its use in the Greek writings is that of an envoy from God) and is applied to Jesus the human prophet recognized by the multitudes as such Matt21:11, who was a human being "made like his brothers in every way"Heb2:17. So when Jesus prays God to send "another" paraclete in Jn14, one can justifiably argue that he is asking God to send another prophet like him who will be an advocate, a couselor and comforter. Like Jesus the advocate 1Jn2:1 and prophet of God Matt21:11. There was never "another" holy spirt. More on that point further down.1Jn2:1"..we have an advocate (paraclete) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
and not"he lives with you and is in you"
. The aim of bible editors is to promote the idea that the holyspirit was present in Jesus' lifetime but not indwelling the believers yet until Pentecost where the disciples where filled with the holy spirit, and that this is what Jesus meant when he said he will pray God to send "another" paraclete. But this verse's tense in early manuscripts clearly contradicts this notion, besides the simple fact that there was never "another" holy spirit. As a side note, why would it be impossible for the holyspirit to come to the disciples in Jesus' presence when it is established that it can indwell a limitless number of people simultaneously?"he lives with you and WILL BE in you"
This means that anyone recognizing Jesus as a human being sent by God can be said to have "the spirit of truth" in him such as Muhammad, and by extension the Muslims, as opposed to the spirit of falsehood dwelling in the world that rejects Jesus as God's human envoy.1Jn4"do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God..Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. This is how we recognize the spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood".
The spirit of truth is therefore coming from God and filling those who recognize Jesus' true identity. Muhammad is the spirit of truth like each true believer in Jesus on his own is the spirit of truth and the disciples addressed by Jesus "know" the paraclete because he is like them filled with the spirit of truth"This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit..God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them".
Jn14:16-17"I will ask the Father, and he will give you another paraclete to help you and be with you forever, the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and is in you"
Jesus is clearing making this statement in the context of their total helplessness. In the precedent chapter Jn13 Jesus is speaking of his future betrayal, hinting to his death at the hands of the unbelievers. This added to their already existing sorrow from John and Zechariah's unjust murders which further emphasized their marginalisation and powerless situation. The disciples grieve, prior to the prophecy of the paraclete, at their master Jesus' rejection by his own people and over the fact that according to Matt24, and Jn16 they will all be persecuted and slaughtered as well as"Do not let your hearts be troubled".
, as repeated in Jn15. They grieved over the coming abomination and destruction of the Temple because of their nation's rejection of Jesus, and their repeated transgressions. In Matt24 Jesus was predicting gloomy days ahead which put the apostles in great distress. Their grief is about what Jesus prophesized as a whole regarding Israel."hated by all nations because of me"
Jn16:6"Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief".
He will convict those who rejected Jesus as a worthless liar. As Jesus prophesized many times in the NT, the rejectors were going to be punished for their rejection. For example, he alludes to this in the parable of the King, His Son, and the Servants. The paraclete will receive revelation, will establish justice and convict the guilty. That never happened in the life of the apostles. Men will see this person, and judgement will be laid down, because the people rejected Jesus. Did the apostles ever judge the world and condemn the guilty after allegedly receiving the indwelling Paraclete at Pentecoste? Did judgement ever descend on the gentiles at the hands of the apostles? It never did. Jesus in those statements is speaking in prophetic terminology by addressing them directly as is the case of the long term prediction made in Deut18 where God addresses the ISraelite community, saying that a specific prophet will come to them, but the intent is for the future. In Jesus' days, the Pharisees still awaited the fulfillement of that prophecy and questionned John, asking him if he was "that prophet". Even within the Greek writings, it is a recognized terminology to involve the audience in a long term prophecy. For example it is accepted that Jesus' second coming predictions, although explicitly spoken to the disciples and telling them that they will witness his return, was not meant for their generation.Jn16"and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged".
16:13-14"When the paraclete comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me..he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me.."
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another paraclete"
43:59,5:14-16,75"O People of the Book, There has come to you Our messenger to explain to you much of what you have concealed of the book and pardoning much. There has come to you from Allah a light and an obvious book. Allah guides thereby those who follow His pleasure into the ways of peace and brings them out of darkness into the light by His permission and guides them to a straight path....The Messiah son of Marium is not except a messenger, indeed, the messengers before him have passed away".
A spirit is a man in 1Jn4.
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
It has been established to any objective reader outside the fold of Christianity how the phenomenon of collective revelation cannot occur outside the messianic age as is alleged to have hapenned by the Greek writers during pentecost.
Just as is the case with the repetition that simultaneous revelation outside the messianic era is a possibility. This isnt a case of a scotsman fallacy, the original definition of what the messianic age was never changed. The proof of this is that no evidence has been shown that any Jewish group had a different interpretation of the messianic criteria. Which Jewish group ever thought the rebuilding of the physical temple in Jerusalem refers to some inner temple within Christians, or a multiplicity of buildings regardless of the geographical location? Which Jewish group ever thought that the end of disease and sin refers to the end of their previous "consequences"?3:45"whose name is al massih"
Religious teacher or not, it equates a spirit with a human being. This cancels the argument that the spirit of truth (with a small "s" according to the manuscripts of the NIV footnotes on 1Jn4:6) can only be some intangible entity.
of course it is not a name.
We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
manfred wrote:And previously you said about "messiah"...of course it is not a name.
Kalimatun, which means word or statement has a feminine designation. Yet the statement that follows uses the masculine, making Jesus and word/statement 2 distinct entities.3:45"Allah gives you good news with a word/kalima from Him (of one) whose name is al massih, Isa son of Marium".
Kalimatullah in these contexts is simply the word of God in the sense of His promise as amply used in the Quran 6:34,115,10:64,18:27 etc. Such divine word is a command that can never be reversed or altered once issued 13:41, it can be the promise of victory and assistance to the messengers and their followers, or the promise of chastisement to the rejecters, or again the promises of miracles or blessings whether in this life or the next etc.3:39"Allah gives you the good news of Yahya verifying a word/kalima from Allah".
Here Jesus represents God's statement or word from a different angle, he is the product of the creative word "Be" that was cast into Mary.4:171"The messiah, Jesus, son of Mary was none other than Allah's envoy and His statement/kalima, He casted it towards Mary including a life giving breath from Him (Allah)".
They are both the manifestation of the creative word.3:59"Surely the likeness of Isa is with Allah as the likeness of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "Be", and he was".
God's creative word simply lays stress on His unlimited power to bring into being a new, and completely different chain of causes and effects, the length of which depends on perspective41:11"Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is a vapor, so He said to it and to the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly".
As it says when speaking of the relativity of time from a human vs a divine perspective54:50"And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye".
70:6-7"Surely they think it to be far off, And We see it nigh".
Again, these verses are Medinian, addressing the people of the book and demonstrating the unprejudiced and non-discriminatory perspective of the Quran regarding prophethood, hence the passing mention of the prophetic line through Abraham and Ishmael (implicitly in 3:33) and the focus on the Israelite line.3:84,4:152,2:136"Say:'We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Abraham and, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no difference between any of them. And to Him do we submit".

The Colorado Senate last week approved a measure to revamp the state's school finance system and sent the measure to the House. But Senate support for the bill fell strictly along party lines.
That's unfortunate because Senate Bill 213 is an important measure that could have great benefits for school districts such as Mesa County's District 51, which has been perpetually at or near the bottom of the pack in per-pupil state funding.
Perhaps a few Republicans in the House will find the gumption to support the school-finance reform bill, as they did with the state budget bill Friday. The budget passed the Senate on a party-line vote, but in the House, nine Republicans joined Democrats to approve the measure.
Among the complaints about SB213 made by Republicans in the Senate was one by Sen. Mark Scheffel of Parker, who argued the bill shifts money around, "but (it) doesn't really reform how are kids are educated."
He's right, but there's a reason for that. This is a bill to reform school finance, not education in general. Republicans in recent decades have taken several stabs at broader education reform, with mixed results. They haven't addressed school finance.
However, there is little question the current school finance system is a disaster. When wealthy school districts such as Aspen and Cherry Creek receive more state funding per student than District 51 and other districts that serve large numbers of low-income students, something is definitely out of whack.
SB213 makes several changes to try to remedy that situation, including giving preference to small, rural school districts and those with high numbers of at-risk students.
Are Republicans opposed to trying to fix the inequity?
Another GOP objection to the legislation is that it will require a large influx of additional money to make it work — an estimated $1.1 billion the first year it takes effect.
That's true, but the provisions of SB213 will only be implemented if voters approve a ballot measure this fall to raise state income taxes to provide the additional funding that's necessary for the bill's implementation.
We hope voters do approve the increased funding because we believe the changes authorized by SB213 are critically important and the additional money is necessary. But we recognize that it will be no easy task to persuade voters to pay more in taxes, even for such a worthy cause.
However, many Republicans in the Legislature and conservative columnists apparently object to even putting the question to voters and allowing them to decide.
SB213 will significantly improve the school-finance system in Colorado. It deserves bipartisan support. We hope it will find some in the House, especially from Mesa County's representatives, since schools they represent will benefit greatly.

Your Social Front Page
By: Nu Yang
Wouldn't managing your paper's social media presence be easier if you could compile your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google+ accounts on one website? Thanks to RebelMouse, that's now possible.
Founded by former Huffington Post chief technical officer Paul Berry, RebelMouse launched in beta mode last June. According to Berry, RebelMouse is now home to 225,000 sites and sees about 1.2 million unique visitors a month.
Berry said the idea for RebelMouse originated when he saw publishers struggling to find a publishing solution for their social media content. He said he created RebelMouse not just for social curation, but also as a content management system.
With the increasingly fragmented state of social media, RebelMouse aggregates selected social networks all on one social homepage. For example, The Baltimore Sun's page (rebelmouse.com/baltimoresun) is filled with updated tweets, photos, and breaking news linking to its Facebook page and website. Time magazine recently used RebelMouse to power its "Person of the Year" social reactions page, pulling together live reaction from all of its social networks.
The RebelMouse algorithm grabs designated social content and becomes the front page for any blog. The page is updated automatically in real time with each new post. RebelMouse can replace a blog, or it can be embedded with a WordPress plugin. Berry said RebelMouse will always respect privacy settings, and users can choose which posts go public.
Anyone can try RebelMouse for free. Individual accounts linked to a personal domain name cost $3 per month, while corporate accounts cost $3 per week.
Berry said he hopes RebelMouse will solve two things for publishers: cost savings and integrating sponsored content correctly. He anticipates more key features, such as group blogs where multiple users can contribute content.
"Everyone is going social," Berry said. "We're empowering companies with the next generation of tools to move forward."

Red Sox avoid arbitration with 7, sign Ellsbury
Jacoby Ellsbury signed to one-year, $9 million deal
The Boston Red Sox signed Jacoby Ellsbury to a one-year contract on Friday, avoiding arbitration with the outfielder.
The oft-injured Ellsbury, 29, a 2011 All-Star, saw a drop in his production last year, finishing with a .271 average, four home runs and 26 RBIs. He will make $9 million, a year after making $8.05 million.
Ellsbury missed 79 games after suffering a right shoulder subluxation April 13. He returned to the lineup July 13 and played in 67 games. In 2011, he was named American League Comeback Player of the Year, and established career highs in home runs (32), run (119), hits (212), and RBIs (105).
The Red Sox also agreed to terms with right-handers Alfredo Aceves ($2.65 million), Andrew Bailey ($4.1 million), Daniel Bard ($1.86 million), and Joel Hanrahan ($7.04 million), as well as left-handers Andrew Miller ($1.47 million), and Franklin Morales ($1.48 million), to one-year, non-guaranteed contracts.
Boston left-hander Craig Breslow is the last player eligible for salary arbitration still unsigned. If he remains without a deal, arbitration hearings can start next month. Breslow made $1.79 million last season. He asked for $2.37 million, and was offered $2.32 million.
Aceves, 30, who shifted over to the closer role last season after Bailey was injured, posted a career-high 25 saves, as the Red Sox stumbled to a 69-93 season. He finished second among AL relievers with 84 innings, and closed with a 2-10 mark. Aceves asked for $3 million, was offered $2.3 million and settled for the midpoint.
Hanrahan, 31, who made the All-Star team twice as a closer in Pittsburgh, was acquired by the Red Sox Dec. 26. He went 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 67 strikeouts last season, posting 36 saves. He made $4.1 million last season.
Bailey, 28, appeared in just 19 games due to right thumb surgery, posting a 1-1 record with six saves.
Bard, 27, made the first 10 starts of his career, going 5-6 for the Red Sox with a 6.22 ERA.
Miller, 27, went 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA and 51 strikeouts, posting a career high for holds (13).
And Morales, 26, made nine starts in his first full season.
The Red Sox lost their final eight games last season, forcing a managerial change for the second time in as many years. Out went Bobby Valentine, in came John Farrell. Under Valentine, Boston finished 26 games behind the division-champion New York Yankees in the AL East.

Window Tinting
Window Tinting
"Pull the windows out"???
When I got my Range Rover done they just eased back the strips along the bottom edge of the door as they slid the film into place. No "window pulling" necessary. I'm planning to get my front windows done by the same guy.
I've actually had it done both ways. Most high end places won't need to take the windows out. My Sig "should"arrive in the next week or so. I'll be getting the tint done right away. When I do my pricing that will be the FIRST question I ask.
Me too. Most professional window-tinting shops should never have to remove the window. As far as I can see, the Model S windows are no different than any other vehical on the market, thus it should be no problem for a professional.
Pulling Windows ????? WHAT ??? Have had window tint on numerous cars, window removal was NEVER required. To my knowledge our local tint shops are NOT! "High End" ?? operations. My current daily driver cost $164.00 to do all windows four years ago and the tint is still in excellent shape.
Being in southern AZ. tint is not an option it is a requirement lol!!
I opted to NOT get the factory installed paint armor because of the visible line across the hood. I've got a silver S. Instead I had Protective Film Solutions (in Santa Ana, CA) install the 3M Clear Bra. They wrap the entire hood, front fenders, back side of mirros, bumper, headlights, fog lights, and front spoiler (but not the black nose cone) and it looks awesome. The film wraps all the way around the edges of the hood so there are no lines.
I also had them install the 3M Crystalline window tint, which I highly recommend if you are at all concerned about UV protection and minimizing in cabin heat gain. It's about twice as expensive as a quality brand of normal tint, but I think it's well worth it. It's amazing how much cooler the cabin stays when the car is sitting in the direct sun!
Here's the website:
where you can check the specs on the tint performance and also find dealers/installers in your area if you are interested in the 3M products.
Also, note that Protective Film Soutions has a shop in the Phoenix area and is opening a shop up in Los Angeles at the beginning of the year, so if you are in these areas I can recommend them. (They were completely wrapping a Rolls Royce Phantom when I was in there with my S....amazing what they can do with plastic film these days.)
what did you pay to get all that done?
If you have to ask ...
The 3M window tint price quote was $550.
The Clear Bra (which I think is also a 3M product) quote was $1,495.
The windshield film quote was $225.
But these prices might be negotiable ;-)
The 3M Crystalline window tint is apparently pretty expensive. it's 200-300 layers of nano-technology...whatever that means....$$$$, but it works. I was quoted $195 for just the window tint at another local place using SolarGard, which is supposed to be a quality tint, but I wanted minimal heat gain so I went with the 3M install.
thanks that helps
I'm in favor of 3M "Black Chrome" which is a metallic foil. Does this metallic foil prevents me from using my cell phone in the car?
Also, when I pair my cell phone via Bluetooth with my car, do I still use the built-in antenna in my cell phone or does the car has an antenna somewhere which will be used to communicate with the wireless beacons?
Where is the antenna of the cell phone built into the 17" touch screen?
Thank you for your answers.
Just finished tinting my windows today using a super-high quality ceramic tint (professionally installed). My car almost looks like my fob now...LOL!
Tiny warning... Because the rear window is at such a low flat angle, when you look through it at night (with a dark tint), the defrost wires tend to distort other vehicles headlights behind you. This doesn't really bother me, however, if you have never owned a car with a low almost horzontal rear window, you might want to make sure you will be ok with this, before doing it. Again, I am only seeing this with the dark tint I had installed, and it might not be a problem with the 3M crystalline tints.
TikiMan, if you don't sharing, what does this treatment cost? I am looking at the same tint, but haven't talked to any stops for a quote.
I paid $400.00 total (all windows tinted, except for the front windshield).
How long did it take for them to do all the windows?
@Michael Emrich, the Bluetooth connection is only to extend the controls and speaker from the phone - the phone is still doing all the work. The location of the antenna is irrelevant.
About three hours to complete.
Thanks, seems reasonable, too.
I had mine done as well last Friday using 3M Crystalline - cost was 2-3x regular tinting - I did front, sides and rear. I will eventually post a pic.
In Los Angeles I went here, they did a great job!!
Sunshield Glass Tinting
4704 Van Nuys Blvd.
Sherman Oaks, CA 91403
Huper Optik is the gold standard for tint. It's heat rejection is astonishing. I have had it on previous Mercedes, Lexus, and BMW's. Forget all that nonsense about 3m Crystalline. The only place you can get in the Phoenix area is from Supreme Mobile Window Tinting, 602-550-8468. He did my Model S - $499 sides and back, $150 windshield, and JR comes to your home and does it there. He installed Huper for Mercedes for 24 years and does beautiful work. The product you want is Huper X Treme Performance Drei 35. He puts 70 on the windshield [Lower the number, darker the tint. 35 is the AZ legal limit].
Huper Optik is definitley the way to go! You pay for performance, not a name. No dyes to fade and take performance with it. 3M is deceptive. They tell you that their film blocks 97% of infrared. They do but its only between 900-1000nm. The entire ir spectrum is between 750-2500nm. Huper will block into the high 80's percentile of the ENTIRE spectrum.
here is a durability comparison also: http://youtu.be/FNJs_VmoQGE
Had photosync tinting done at Exterme Autowerks in Cerritos, CA. Great job. 3 1/2 hours. Around $1,000
Photosync is ok but its a coated film. Meaning that there is an Infrared rejecting Dye that most of the performance comes from. over time that dye will fade and the coating will dissipate, taking performance with it. Huper optik is a true ceramic. The composition of the film is different at the base. The add more ceramic layers to achieve the color that they want, and not a dye.
Any issues with electrical or radio interference with the Huper Optic Drei? Apparently it's a metallic tint vs. some of the other tints are ceramic. Trying to decide between this, 3m, or photo sync tints. Thanks.
The tint shop I've been using for the past 10 years is recommending photo sync to me for my car.
Just imagine how much your range will improve when the actual torque sleep update is released instead of this bug fix update.
I just had my S tinted this week and I love how it came out! I went to a shop in Union City Ca near Hayward called Auto Sound Specialists. I shopped around a while to find the best deal but also good quality. I found nothing but good reviews on yelp and the best part about it was they were hundreds of dollars cheaper than some other guys. They had a few options to choose from including ceramic film that was a little pricier but decided to go with their Johnson window film brand that comes with a lifetime warranty. I also asked beforehand if they had to take out the windows and was assured that they do NOT remove any glass. After it was done they told me I had to keep the windows up for 3 days until it was completely dried. After the 3 days I was super happy to roll down the windows and find that the film went all the way up to the edge and I could barely tell theres even a film applied. I had other cars tinted in the past at other shops and never liked that there was a large gap between where the edge of the glass and where the film began. Overall im very glad I decided to get the tint job done after procrastinating for so long. They also install the clear bra paint protection which I will go back for later. Hopefully this helps some of you out.
New 2015 Model S with Huper Optik window tint installed by Glistening Perfection in Aliso Veijo, CA.
Just over a week ago I picked up my brand new 85D Obsidian Black Tesla and have been smiling ever since. Just like with any new luxury item I buy, the first thing I do is research fully how to care for it and
treat it right. The Tesla was no different. I knew I wanted to tint the windows but how can you know which quality item to use and who to have install it correctly? I mean how many of us have seen those cars with the window tint bubbling up and peeling off - no thanks, not for my black beauty. So, with the help of teslamotorclub.com forum, and the web, I went through every review and came down to the choice of Photosync vs. Huper Optik. They are both great products but obviously vary to some degree. I decided on the photosync and started calling around for quotes and availability.
Moe with Glistening Perfection is one of those resources that is HIGHLY regarded on many forums and in the industry itself. Tim with Adonis Detail (phenomenal individual) in Carlsbad, CA thinks highly of Moe and vice versa. When Moe and I first talked on the phone it was easy to tell right off that he knows all of the products. His approach is to tell the client the details of each product, the honest truth regarding good and bad, and then let the customer decide which one is best for them. Like I said, I was leaning towards Photosync but honestly didn't want the "blue-ish hue" that is reported, therefore I settled on the Huper Optik. So, Moe and I scheduled a time to get my car in.
I am in the medical field and therefore my schedule can be a bit chaotic. Moe was as gracious as anyone could ask. I literally delayed and then cancelled my appointment within hours of our arranged time. Moe understood and just kept coming up with solutions until it all worked out. On first meet, the guys who work for Moe were energetic and extremely professional. There was another Tesla getting prettied up and several high end vehicles awaiting their turn. They asked me many details about my car, and were extremely patient in addressing all of my questions, concerns and thoughts. Moe arranged to have the car washed afterwards and my heart skipped a little beat with how immaculate it looked!!!!! I mean it was so professionally done it was like it came right out of the factory. Moe took the time to explain the curing process for the tint and how he wants to see me back at later date to evaluate that all is perfect. Can you ask for more service than that??
In the end, I am just a guy who likes nice things and goes to great lengths to ensure that others who touch them have the passion to be OCD about detail. Isn't that what we are paying for?
If you are looking for tinting options for your Tesla in California, Moe at Glistening Perfection is as capable, professional and enthusiastic enough to take care of the job properly. You can trust him and you will not regret it!
I am looking for a window tinting service in the Manhattan Beach area, anyone have any suggestions?
Would you mind letting me how much you paid for your service? Also, did you have your windshield done as well?
I'm also in MB and looking for the service as well. Have you gotten yours done?
My son-in-law owns a tint shop and I brought the car to his shop right after I took delivery. There was no need to remove the door panels nor "pull the windows" out which I believe is standard practice for most cars. He said with the Model S, it was not necessary. I had to help him by pulling slightly on a suction cup from the outside as he slips the film in between the glass and rubber strip.
Does anybody have experience with window tinting in Tampa Bay/St Pete/Clearwater?
Any recommendations for service, products??
Ken/Wave: Consider Extreme Autowerks in Cerritos. Ask for Derek or Bing. They've done hundreds of Model S and are quite familiar with Photosync as well as other options.
I recommend Photosync 35 all the way around with 75 for the windshield. If your cars are registered in CA, do note that both options are not necessarily in accordance with state or local regulations. That said, the majority of owners who have had their Model S done thereat have chosen 35. Having said that, the 45 looks good as well - however, for the money, it seems that 35 represents the best bang for the buck.
If I ever remember to do it, I plan to go back to get the front Pano panel done as well.
Lastly, I haven't noticed any blueish hue with Photosync, and I've had the tint for over a year now.
No matter what you need to choose nano-ceramic tint. Blocks up to 99% of UV and IRR rays (heat). I got mine from a new company based out of Los Angeles, MotoShield Pro.

Dr. Robert DiGiuseppe must treat the babies whose first days of life are marked by excruciating pain.
Dr. Robert DiGiuseppe must treat the babies whose first days of life are marked by excruciating pain. They are inconsolable, cry and sweat excessively, have diarrhea, stiff limbs, vomiting and sometimes seizures.
The cause of their ailments: prescription opiates their mothers took during pregnancy.
"You feel sorry for these babies because they're struggling, they're suffering," DiGiuseppe said one recent afternoon at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, where he practices in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. "They're absolutely miserable."
America's prescription drug abuse epidemic has caused a spike in the number of addicted mothers – and newborns experiencing withdrawal symptoms – delivering in maternity wards across the country. While there is no universally accepted standard of care for their offspring, the rise fueled efforts to evaluate treatment practices and sharpened calls for more resources to combat addiction.
At New Hanover Regional Medical Center, the number of newborns treated or monitored for drug withdrawal shot up 119 percent in three years, from 31 in 2009 to 68 in 2012. Many must be painstakingly weaned off whatever their mother used, extending hospital stays and driving up medical costs.
The phenomenon is by no means Wilmington's alone. A study published last year in the Journal of the American Medical Association found the number of babies that underwent withdrawal, a condition known as neonatal abstinence syndrome, tripled from 2000 to 2009, when 13,539 were born, or nearly two every hour.
Treatment costs increased 35.5 percent over that same period, from $39,400 for each withdrawal case to $53,400. In 2009, 77.6 percent of those costs were charged to Medicaid, according to the study.
"It is a huge financial drain on the medical system," DiGiuseppe said.
There are no national statistics to document the scale of the problem as it stands today, but interviews with researchers, doctors and drug treatment specialists suggest it continues to escalate.
"The worrisome thing is that the prevalence of the diagnosis has increased fairly dramatically," said Dr. Mark Hudak, who heads the University of Florida's Department of Pediatrics and authored the American Academy of Pediatrics' most recent guidelines for treating the syndrome, released last year.
Physicians generally advise mothers who have been taking prescription opiates – medications based on opium or its derivatives – for extended time periods to continue during pregnancy because quitting cold turkey may cause her to withdraw, increasing the risk for miscarriage and pre-term birth, experts say.
Pregnant addicts on methadone treatment, a time-tested opiate medication that staves off withdrawal and reduces cravings, are also instructed to stick to their regimen, not only because stopping may harm the fetus but because it may also drive her to relapse and use street drugs, experts say.
"It's a complex problem that's going to take a complex solution," said Dr. Stephen Patrick, who lead last year's study published by the American Medical Association while at the University of Michigan.
Researchers have looked at outpatient treatment as a means of driving down costs, with some literature suggesting at-home care can be successful if the family is properly screened. But critics call it a risk.
"One of the problems in North Carolina is that with the pressure to get people out of the hospitals, we know of instances where people with serious, untreated opiate addiction have been sent home with bottles of liquid narcotics to treat neonatal abstinence in their babies," said Dr. John Thorp, who founded the University of North Carolina's Horizons Program, which treats children exposed to drugs before birth. "To give them something they're addicted to is the craziest thing I can think of doing. It would be like the fire department giving out molotov cocktails."
There exists little definitive research on whether neonatal abstinence syndrome harms health or development outcomes, and researchers seem divided on whether opiate exposure in the womb causes long-term consequences.
"Some studies show issues with learning and some studies show nothing at all," said Patrick, who is now at Vanderbilt University and working on research to determine best practices for neonatal care. "If you look at the data that's out there, there might be long-term implications, there might be none. It's really unclear."
A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered that babies whose mothers took legally prescribed painkillers during pregnancy had a slightly higher risk of birth defects, including congenital heart defects, glaucoma and spina bifida.
"The good news on this is that if there is a long-term effect related to prenatal opioid exposure and post-natal treatment, it is relatively small," Hudak said. "It's not like these children are neurologically devastated."
More worrisome are the consequences of growing up in a house where addiction is present. "This is a family disease and the public should be extraordinarily concerned," Thorp said.
Treatment approaches differ across hospitals, but doctors generally rely on either methadone or morphine to slowly wean the babies off while keeping their discomfort in check.
Most cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome at New Hanover Regional involve mothers prescribed pain medication such as Percocet and Lortab by their physicians, but even taking opiates in doctor-recommended doses can cause newborns to withdraw.
"They don't realize that that's a possibility – that their baby can withdraw because my doctor prescribed this to me. Nobody is going to prescribe me anything that's going to hurt my baby," DiGiuseppe said
Sometimes withdrawal symptoms will not set in for several days. So if doctors know the mother used opiates, they will keep the baby at the hospital under observation.
"We discuss this with clients so they are ready for this; it's expected," said Ruth Trammel, a clinical supervisor at Coastal Horizons, a Wilmington-based drug treatment facility. She is currently treating six pregnant addicts, a group which meets once a month with a nurse from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to discuss motherhood and pregnancy issues.
Mothers using street drugs are less likely to admit as much to their doctors, and so they sometimes return to the hospital when their baby starts showing symptoms, experts say. Some doctors will perform drug screens on pregnant patients, but there are legal and ethical quandaries to that approach.
Few doctors even treat pregnant opiate addicts because of the risks involved.
People "want to act like they don't exist because there's so much contempt for pregnant people who use and abuse substances," Thorp said, noting that some pregnant addicts try to hide their disease for fear of social services. "Everybody just hasn't come to grips with the 5 to 10 percent of the world that has the disease of addiction and needs treatment, and that includes reproductive-age women, and reproductive-age women get pregnant."

A Calgary woman well-known in show-dog circles has been charged with 51 counts of causing or permitting an animal to be in distress following the seizure of 34 dogs from her southeast home in mid-May.
The charges against Beverly Jean Creed stem from allegations she kept the dogs in unsanitary conditions and also relate to 17 dogs that veterinarians say were in "medical distress," said the Calgary Humane Society.
Brad Nichols, manager of cruelty investigations with the humane society, said dog seizures of this size and involving someone in the industry are rare.
"It's not often we're seizing 30-plus dogs," Nichols said, adding it was unusual for Creed — a respected member of the show-dog and dog breeding community — to let animal care drop off so drastically.
Some of those animals were returned to co-owners after they paid fees associated with the removal and care of the dogs, Nichols said.
"It's fairly common to have co-ownership type agreements and show other people's dogs, take them through various types of competition," Nichols said.
Others are slowly recovering from surgery and treatment for dental abscesses, fractured bones, skin infections and eye problems, and are making their way to the adoption centre, he said, adding some have already been adopted by new families.
Unfortunately, two dogs had to be euthanized due to age and medical reasons.
None of the animals was returned to Creed.
The dogs were seized on May 13 from an Acadia home in the 8500 block of Addison Drive S.E.
A man delivering a notice to the residence expressed concerns about the welfare of the animals and a strong smell emanating from the property. He alerted a neighbour, who called 911 after entering the home and finding feces and urine throughout, as well as ripped furniture and numerous dogs in distress.
Peace officers, police officers and firefighters attended the scene, removing dogs of varying sizes and breeds. Most required extensive veterinary care and were taken to the humane society to have vaccines and health checks.
The house was deemed to be unfit for human habitation.
Creed could not be reached for comment Thursday. But her friends had previously said she was facing difficulties in her life caring for her elderly mother at the time the dogs were seized.
Creed had also told CTV News that the dogs had clean beds and good food.
She is expected to appear in court on Aug. 27.
Nichols said each charge comes with a maximum fine of $20,000, but they are rarely — if ever — handed down. Creed could also face an animal prohibition.
Nichols pointed to a similar case of 34 dogs, most of them pit bulls, seized from a Martindale home in April 2011, which netted the owner a $5,000 fine and a lifetime three-animal limit.
