Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2014
The Entertainment Industries Council's (EIC) TEAM Up (Tools for Entertainment and Media) has released the first-of-its-kind Social Media Guidelines for Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention, a set of recommendations to assist media organizations sharing news and digital content about mental health and suicide prevention through their social media outlets in a way that is not only authentic, but also, de-stigmatizing and non-glamorizing of suicide or mental health concerns. The announcement was made today by board-certified internist, addiction medicine specialist and media personality Dr. Drew Pinsky and EIC President Brian Dyak, who were joined by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, California Mental Health Services Authority, Facebook Inc. and leading journalism organizations the National Association of Broadcasters and Radio Television Digital News Association.
"The content has been reviewed by experts in social media and the related health fields, and created by EIC, a trusted media resource. This powerful tool will elevate conversation that uses social media to broaden our understanding of mental wellness and suicide prevention. Media professionals have an exceptional opportunity to positively and proactively influence audiences to act with both caution and compassion toward mental illness," Dr. Drew Pinsky said.
Three key media organizations, the National Association of Broadcasters, the Radio Television Digital News Association and Facebook have aligned to support the national call to elevate the conversation around mental wellness and raise awareness that help is available, treatment works and recovery is possible. The guidelines encourage the limiting of harmful language and reinforcement of practices that include resources such as the Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-TALK) and OK2TALK.org in stories and entertainment programming involving Post-Traumatic Stress, violence, suicide and other mental illnesses.
"The National Association of Broadcasters is pleased to continue to support efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination around mental illness. By harnessing the power and influence of media and technology, we can share simple, cohesive and potentially life-saving messages. This is one more step toward shining a light on mental health and suicide prevention and showcases an important way broadcasters are serving their local communities," said Sen. Gordon Smith, president, National Association of Broadcasters.
"Whether you want to share your own story, discuss events in the news or help others understand mental illness and encourage them to seek help when they need it, these recommendations will be a helpful resource for everyone, especially in teaching children and teens how to communicate about these issues. Safe, constructive communication via social media, that does no harm, changes the conversation and reduces stigma," said Brian Dyak, Entertainment Industries Council, President and CEO, and Co-Chair of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention Public Awareness & Education Task Force.
"Resources like this enable our newsrooms nationwide to better communicate and serve as beacons of information that elevate the public consciousness around mental health and suicide prevention," said Mike Cavender, RTDNA/F Executive Director.
"Social media makes it easier than ever to connect and share with the people you care about," said Joe Sullivan, Chief Security Officer, Facebook and Co-Chair of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention Public Awareness & Education Task Force. "Knowing effective ways to seek input and offer support to your friends and families about difficult topics is an important part of building a safe online community."

Legislation to be Introduced to Foster Competition in California Gasoline Market
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced that three bills are being introduced in the California Legislature to address long-term and short-term gasoline supply issues. The bills are being introduced to meet the February 25 deadline set by the Legislature for new proposals.
Lockyer explained that the measures provide a starting point for recommendations still being developed through the Attorney General's Task Force on Gasoline Pricing. The task force was established after the Attorney General's preliminary report on gasoline pricing found the state's high prices resulting from the lack of competition in the California gasoline market. Among other things, the report noted that six major oil companies (pre-Mobil-Exxon merger) control over 92 percent of the market.
The measures being introduced are:
* A bill, by Assembly Member Carole Migden of San Francisco, which would require a feasibility study of building and financing a new pipeline from the Gulf Coast to increase available gasoline supplies to the state. The study would be done by the California Energy Commission. (AB 2098)
* A bill, by Assembly Member Kevin Shelley of San Francisco, which would establish a strategic gasoline reserve in California to avoid the kind of price spikes that resulted last year when refinery fires disrupted gasoline production. (AB 2076)
* A bill, by Senator Jackie Speier of Hillsborough, which seeks to inject competition into the state's gasoline refining and marketing industry by limiting the ability of oil companies to own and operate retail gasoline stations. (SB 1846)

Its been a year since I started learning PHP.
And I'm feeling excited to go for a big project.
So, I've decided to code a forum CMS right from scratch. I'll be a simple one. I'll be using these tools and concepts :
- Simple PHP
- jQuery
- PHPass
- PHP Active Record ORM
- Twig Template Engine
- Geshi Syntax Highlighter(for code syntax highlighting)
So, all I need is some suggestions if I should change or remove or add any tools here.
Any tips you'd like to give on how to proceed.
Any features you'd like to suggest me to add in the CMS.
I'm not using a framework as I dont have experience of using any and it'll take me too much time to learn to use one..
I'll also be taking some ideas and concepts from existing ones like myBB, IPB, vBulletin, SMF, etc especially for DBMS..
So, any tips, you're welcome...

NEC, NEC Electronics Develop 12Gbps Interface for System LSI Chips
The interface has achieved a data rate of 12 Gbits per second, approximately five times faster than rates in PCI Express and about 2.4 times faster than rates in the next-generation PCI Express Generation 2 standard. The companies said the interface could achieve such high data rates even through low-price communication systems, in which signals are largely attenuated. NEC Electronics is planning to ship sample IP cores using this technology to ASIC and ASSP manufacturers in the first half of 2006.
Many of current high-speed data transmission technologies, such as PCI Express, Serial ATA and XAUI, are based on serial transmission technology. NEC and NEC Electronics deployed a method called "duobinary," which is often used in optical transmissions, in the new technology. Instead of completely removing waveform distortions (inter-symbol interference), duobinary signaling only permits distortions between signals side-by-side and squeezes bandwidths needed for data transmissions to two-thirds the conventional size.
Compared to conventional binary interface technology including the serial transmission method that does not permit inter-symbol interferences, duobinary interface technology said to enable about one-and-a-half times faster data transmissions. NEC recently announced a backplane transceiver LSI embedded with the duobinary transmission method at the 2005 International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC). The LSI was manufactured using 90nm CMOS process technology.
NEC and NEC Electronics placed their focus on duobinary interface technology, based on their belief that it will become difficult to design printed-wiring boards using serial transmission technology, when data rates reach 10Gbps and more. In serial data transmissions, the attenuation of signal amplitudes tends to increase and expensive transmission systems are required at a data rate of 10Gbps, and therefore cost is expected to grow to a large amount. The duobinary method is said to enable lower cost for data transmission media than that required in serial transmission technology, because the method permits a certain amount of waveform distortion.

Rhodes Leads Team with One Goal, Two Assists
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Trailing 3-1 against Fairfield Wednesday afternoon at Reese Stadium, the Yale Bulldogs rallied for three straight goals to take a 4-3 lead 20 minutes into the game. But the Stags responded in dramatic fashion, putting together an 8-0 run over the next 25 minutes to take control. Fairfield attacker Erin Rigby led all scorers with five goals as the Stags came away with a 14-5 win.
"We hung in there for the first 20 minutes, then got a lead," said Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse. "We had a chance to make it a two-goal lead, but shot it into their goalie's stick. They came down and scored, and that was the turning point of the game."
Adding to the frustration for Yale was the fact that Fairfield's run came after the Stags lost their all-time leader in points scored, midfielder Kristen Coleman, who got her second yellow card just 12:30 into the game. The score was 2-1 Fairfield at that point, with Yale's goal coming when freshman midfielder Devon Rhodes found sophomore attacker Winnie Call wide open in front of the net at 23:06.
After Rigby extended Fairfield's lead to 3-1 at 14:25 of the first, junior attacker Myra Trivellas scored on a free position shot to start Yale's run. Senior attacker Jessica Sturgill made a nice move through the 8-meter arc to score at 10:59, and Rhodes caused a turnover on the ensuing draw control and was able to score in transition to give Yale the lead.
But a free position goal by Rigby 90 seconds later started the Stags' big run, which included six straight goals to end the first half and two more at the start of the second half. Plagued by turnovers (20) and fouls (31), the Bulldogs wound up being outshot 32-16 for the game.
"We lost this game on the ground," Phillips said. "Ground balls [Fairfield led 26-15 in that category]. Fairfield beat us to the ball, and we fouled to give them more and more opportunities."
Sophomore goalie Whitney Quackenbush did her best to keep her team in the game, stopping three of Fairfield's six free position shots and finishing with 12 saves. But she did not receive much offensive support, as the Bulldogs were not able to get the ball over the restraining line for the first 10 minutes of the second half. Their lone goal of the period was another tally by Call, set up by Rhodes.
Call thus wound up being one of the bright spots for the Bulldogs, upping her career goal total from one to three in the span of one game. Like many of her classmates, Call was sidelined for most of last season -- she and sophomore attacker Kerry Hamill, who made her return to field Wednesday after an injury suffered nearly a year ago, played just eight games combined in 2009. Yale (1-1, 0-0 Ivy League) also had three freshmen starting Wednesday. That lack of experience, combined with the fact that the Bulldogs have had their depth diminished by injury and illness, has led to some early-season growing pains.
"We shot poorly, and we didn't take enough shots," Phillips said. "We were around 30 percent, which is where we were against Holy Cross in the season opener. It's not like we don't know what the problem is. We have the talent, and the ability to fix the problem, we just haven't fixed it yet."
Fairfield (2-0, 0-0 MAAC) got two goals each from attacker Amanda Best, attacker Katie MacKay, midfielder Chloe Mangan and attacker Caitlin Young. Katie Keenan made seven saves.
Yale hosts JMU Saturday at 1 p.m.

Jan. 20 Conference Explores the Legal Implications of Self-Driving Cars
Deborah Lohse
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 12, 2012 -- Autonomous (self-driving) cars may seem as futuristic as condos on Mars, but in fact, they are here: Google, BMW and Volkswagen are among those getting attention for their pilot programs; Toyota unveiled an autonomous Prius at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show; and Nevada recently passed a law allowing autonomous cars on its roads (complete with a special driver's license endorsement).
But when it comes to legalities of these computerized wonders, questions far outweigh answers. For instance, if an autonomous car causes an accident, who bears legal responsibility --the manufacturer or the person in the "driver seat?" If the driver of a self-driving car is drunk or texting away, will that still be illegal? How will insurance documents be crafted? And what other transportation law will need to be rewritten in order to make room on the road for autonomous cars?
Now, Santa Clara University School of Law is gathering a group of automobile experts and legal scholars to explore this next frontier through a legal lens, at an all-day seminar Jan. 20 entitled The Legal Implications of Autonomous Vehicles. The event will be at the Paul L. Locatelli, S.J., Student Activity Center on SCU's campus, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, California, 95053, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., including an evening reception.
"This is the first time we've ever had a group of legal minds sit down and think about this," said Dorothy Glancy, a professor of transportation and privacy law at Santa Clara University School of Law. "Without legal acceptance, we are not going to have autonomous cars."
Tickets are free for students and $120 for the general public. CLE credit for lawyers is $30 for non-alumni.
The event, sponsored by the Santa Clara Law Review and Santa Clara University School of Law's High Tech Law Institute, will feature dozens of speakers and panelists from government, academia and law firms. They will share publications, give presentations and take questions in what promises to be a lively day of exploration and debate.
Speakers will include:
*Bryant Walker Smith, Stanford School of Law's Center for Automotive Research (CARS) and Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society (CIS)
*Dr. Sven A. Beiker, executive director, Stanford CARS
*Frank Douma, Hubert Humphrey School of Public Affairs and Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota
*Dorothy J. Glancy, professor of privacy and transportation law, Santa Clara University School of Law
*Robert B. Kelly & Mark D. Johnson, Squire Sanders and Dempsey Communications Practice Group, Washington, D.C.
*Gary E. Marchant, Arizona State University Law School professor of emerging technologies, law and ethics.
*Robert Peterson, insurance law professor at Santa Clara University School of Law
*O. Kevin Vincent, chief counsel of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
*Steve Wood, assistant chief counsel for vehicle rulemaking and harmonization, Office of the Chief Counsel, National Highway Transportation & Safety Administration

President Obama and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, met on Sunday at the White House to discuss efforts to resolve the so-called "fiscal cliff," according to Boehner's spokesman.
"We're not reading out details of the conversation but the lines of communication remain open," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement identical to one released by the White House.
This is the week that the House had initially scheduled to wrap up its lame-duck work and the 112th congressional session.
Instead, congressional Republicans and the White House have been at loggerheads over striking a deal that could delay or stop year-end automatic spending cuts and tax-rate hikes that many fear would harm the nation's already-fragile economic recovery.

The latest teaser and motion poster from FX's "American Horror Story: Coven" gives us a closer look at Angela Bassett's character.
In the video above, which includes the line, "This fall, respect your elders," we see Marie Laveau—a real-life practioner of voodoo in the 1800s who was called "the voodoo queen of New Orleans" and, according to folklore, danced with a snake and presided over bloody rituals.
"Coven" creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk must have heard about the snake, because their Laveau seems to have a snake tail in both the video and poster. Is it part of her body or is he just hiding under her skirts?
According to the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum, Laveau was born a free person of color and between the 1820s and 1860s became known as the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Laveau could reportedly grant wishes and heal people. Her youngest daughter, Marie Laveau II, is said to have succeeded her and led more elaborate prayers
When Laveau died on June 15, 1881, newspaper obituaries told varied stories about her life, with some saying she was a saint and others calling her a witch.
The museum reports that according folklore and traditions, she was a hairdresser, domestic informant, madame and blackmailer. She could "fix court cases and cheate the executioner," and used her powerful Voodoo to cuase the deaths of at least one governor and one lieutenant governor.
Visitors still visit Laveau's grave today to make wishes, the museum says.
In "Coven," Laveau and Fiona (Jessica Lange), the Supreme witch of the coven operating out of Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, will work to repair a rift between Laveau's voodoo priestesses and Fiona's witches. Bassett has said that the character is only loosely based on the real Laveau. Kathy Bates plays another historical character, serial killer Marie Delphine LaLaurie.
The 13-part third installment of the horror anthology will premiere at 9 p.m. CT Oct. 9 on FX.
Here's more from FX about "Coven," which is currently filming in New Orleans:
"American Horror Story: Coven" tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Jessica Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.

The Aromatherapy Basics of Lavender and Tea Tree
By Kayla Fioravanti, RA
Until my son came down with a prescription resistant case of ringworm, I had no idea what aromatherapy was or the power of using essential oils. In desperation, I made a trip down the book aisle of the local health food store that would forever change our family. Every book I opened recommended tea tree essential oil for ringworm. I invested in a 10 ml bottle of tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) in hopes that just maybe aromatherapy would have some merit. Three days later the ringworm was gone and I was on the road that would eventually end with our family starting an aromatherapy based business and myself, becoming a Certified and Registered Aromatherapist. Now my medicine cabinet, beauty counter and bath products are filled with essential oils.
When my kids ask for medicine for their "owie," they are referring to lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil. They are true believers by way of experience. A few years ago my two daughters decided to play with the light bulb in their lamp late one night. My husband and I responded to shrieks of terror. We discovered that my four year old had put her wet hand onto the light bulb. Her palm had already formed a blister and she was hysterical. I applied a small amount of lavender to my hand and rubbed it into her hair to calm her. I then applied lavender directly onto her burn and wrapped her hand up tight. She promptly fell deeply asleep. In the morning she took the bandage off her hand and was surprised to find she had no pain and no blister. Her wounds had healed over-night. She displayed her hand to me with disbelief and exclaimed, "Look, Mommy! Your medicine worked!" By that point, after years of nearly miraculous experiences with essential oils, I had no doubt that my "medicine" would work.
The Science of Aromatherapy and Skin
Skin, our largest organ, allows substances like essential oils, with small molecular structures and low molecular weight to penetrate. The essential oils are then carried away by the capillary blood circulating in the dermis. Essential oils stimulate circulation to the surface skin cells; encourage cell regeneration and the formation of new skin cells. Some essential oils calm inflamed or irritated skin. Specific essential oils have antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-infectious, anti-parasitic, antitoxic, nervine, analgesic, deodorizing, circulatory stimulating and diuretic qualities. The needs of the plant from which an essential oil is extracted will often dictate its aromatherapy properties. For instance, if a plant lives in an environment in which it is threatened by fungus and bacteria it will produce an essential oil that is highly antifungal and antibacterial.
Aromatherapy Emergency Kit
No home is complete without having the two most popular and most commonly used essential oils in the medicine and beauty cabinet: lavender and tea tree. This is because these two essential oils will be the antidote for almost every need.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
This oil has been used for many conditions, including dermatitis, eczema, sunburn, insect bites, headaches, migraine, rashes, insomnia, infections, arthritis, anxiety, tension, panic, hysteria, fatigue burns, psoriasis, scars, thread veins, and all problems concerning splitting of dermis and epidermis. Lavender soothes and regenerates cells. It is effective in treating infected hair follicles, pimples, blackheads and light forms of acne. It is good for all skin types and balances sebum. Lavender is an excellent and safe children's remedy for rashes, bumps and bruises and sleeplessness. It is antiseptic, analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anti-infectious, antitoxic, anti-parasitic, restorative, antidepressant, calmative and sedative.
Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
This oil has historic uses for rashes, insect bites, nail fungus, dermatitis, ringworm, head lice, sore throats, boils, congestion, wounds, arthritis, cold sores, and is useful for a wide spectrum of infections. Tea tree encourages regeneration of scar tissue and reduces swelling. As an oil-controlling agent with high germicidal value, it is useful for treating acne. It can penetrate pus by mixing with it, which liquefies the pus, causing it to slough off, leaving a healthy surface. It is anti-infectious, antibiotic, balsamic, antifungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, immuno-stimulant, analgesic and antiseptic.
The next time you have a migraine from your job, or your child is not in the mood to "go night-night", turn to earth's gift of lavender essential oil. If suddenly your face breaks out with one big red pimple on the tip of your nose, apply some tea tree essential oil to the affected area. If you are not getting your beauty sleep, put a small amount of lavender essential oil onto a cotton ball and put it into your pillowcase. If there is a random rash that you can't quite identify, start by using lavender essential oil and if that does not work, switch to tea tree. Normally, one of the two will do the job. You can apply them topically, add to a carrier oil or put a few drops into bathsalts for your bath and begin to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. Remember, fragrance or synthetic products will not produce the effects of true essential oils.

It's really just a wisp of a memory, but after 20-some years, I can still recall the beauty of that winter night in New York. I was in town on business and had gone to see a play with an old friend. Afterward, we headed to her apartment somewhere in the West 70s, where I sat and watched her make pies for Thanksgiving dinner the next day. We talked for hours, catching up on the details of our lives.
We finally said our goodbyes, and I walked down the steps of her brownstone into the first snowstorm of the season. At that early-morning hour and with the wretched weather, I knew snagging a cab was a long shot. Then one of those "Manhattan miracles" occurred — a yellow Checker rounded her corner, the glowing light on its roof signifying it was empty.
I hopped in and we took off for my hotel, the cabbie driving slowly through Central Park as the snow fell. Just north of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he made a careful right turn onto Fifth Avenue. It was empty — not a car or bus or cab to be seen — and covered with fresh snow unmarked by any tire tracks.
Out the cab window, I could see the broad steps of the Met, also cloaked in white. There were no pedestrians — odd for New York even at that hour — it was just me, the driver and the big yellow cab. We seemed to glide — almost float, really — down the deserted boulevard.
I will never forget the beauty of that night as the flakes gently fell. It was so dark, so empty and so still, the only sounds the click-clicking of the cab's windshield wipers and the soft crunch of tires on the snow.

Editor's Note: This story originally published Nov. 23, 2013.
ROCKFORD — Robert Henry Lower will try for the 19th time to obtain parole on his 100-150-year prison sentence for killing 15-year-old Rockford newspaper carrier Joey Didier.
Lower, 75, has never received a single vote in favor of parole in his previous appearances before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. He has failed in 18 parole tries since he became eligible in 1985, according to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. Each time it forces the Didier family to relive the crime and the grief they felt when Joey Didier was abducted and killed in 1975, said Joey's sister, Diane Didier-Adolphson.
The family fights each time to ensure Lower never walks free. He's been in various state prisons for 38 years; his current home is Graham Correction Center in Hillsboro.
"I would never be able to live with myself if he ever got out and got some other boy," Didier-Adolphson said. "He is definitely a very sick individual that needs to stay incarcerated for the safety of not only the Rockford community, but the state of Illinois."
Sign the online petition for or against Lower's parole
Supporters have already collected about 2,000 signatures in support of denying Lower parole. The Register Star and rrstar.com are now accepting online signatures for and against Lower's release from prison. There were roughly 20,000 signatures collected in 2011, the last time Lower was up for parole.
"I'd like to thank the Rockford community for their continual and heartfelt support," Didier-Adolphson said. "It means a lot to us that we're not alone in our fight."
See our special report page on the history of the Joey Didier case
Lower has said at previous parole hearings he no longer has the urge to hurt young boys and wants to be released so he can help other pedophiles avoid the route he took. He has completed several sex offender counseling programs, according to Register Star archives.
Joey Didier went missing March 4, 1975, not long after starting his morning newspaper route on Fulton Avenue in Rockford. His body was found 11 days later in a Boy Scout camp cabin in Jo Daviess County. He had been raped and strangled.
Before he was arrested, Lower involved himself in the search for Didier, which showed how calculated and planned the murder was, Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato said. Lower later confessed to police that he couldn't sleep, so he went "driving around looking for a paperboy," according to Register Star archives.
The people of Winnebago and Jo Daviess counties have not forgotten this "heinous" crime, Bruscato said.
"It certainly remains as a forethought when we think of the most horrible crimes that have occurred in the history of Winnebago County," Bruscato said.
Bruscato was the first state's attorney to travel with the Didier family to help protest Lower's parole. He'll have help when he goes again this year from Jo Daviess County State's Attorney John Hay, who also plans to participate in the hearing on the behalf of the family.
Lower will appear before members of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board on Jan. 7 at Graham prison to appeal for parole. At the same time, Didier-Adolphson, Bruscato and Hay will meet with board members for a protest hearing at Dixon Correctional Center.
A full Prisoner Review Board is tentatively scheduled to hear the case and make a decision on Feb. 27 at the PRB office in Springfield.
Bruscato hopes, if Lower's parole is denied, the family won't have to revisit the crime for five years, the maximum distance allowed between parole hearings. State law changed in 2012 that allows parole hearings to be pushed to every five years, rather than every three. This is the first chance for the family to see that happen.
The Rockford City Council may also throw its weight behind an effort to deny Lower parole. Ald. Tom McNamara, D-3, said he is working with Mayor Larry Morrissey on a resolution and proclamation in support of Joey Didier and his family.

Hello! I would like to know what would you do with a Nexus 7 (Or what you did after you got it).
As it doesn't have 3G, it is not ideal for web browsing anywhere, and as it only has 8/16 GB (I know it's actually more than enough for most people) it's not ideal for storing all of you stuff in it.
Would you install any custom homescreens/skins? Would you use it more for watching movies/listening to music/reading books and magazines/gaming/apps in general/etc.?
Personally, I want one to read my e-books so I don't have to print them because I hate reading them on the computer and to have 1 or 2 movies and some music loaded so I can watch/listen to them.
For me it would be perfect with 3G. But the price would be higher. I'd actually rather buy a 3G nexus 7 than a smartphone. (I carry a backpack with me all day long so it wouldn't be much of a problem).

Last night T-Mobile launched the marketing campaign to promote their new 4G network, which features a girl introducing herself as "The new T-Mobile myTouch 4G". It is clearly a take on the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads that were running last year and just like Apple, T-Mobile will also turn them into a series.
Many of our readers enjoyed the ad and thought it was funny, but a lot of people wanted to know who was the female actress playing the myTouch 4G girl. We asked T-Mobile for some info and they responded, "Her name is Carly and you'll be seeing more of her in upcoming 4G ads."
So if you enjoy the #4GWARS like me, then sit back and enjoy the show. Verizon and AT&T got pretty heated last year over maps, but I think this holiday season will top that in terms of entertainment value.

Educators adapt to increase in autistic students
Diagnoses of autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have reached unprecedented highs across the nation, with one in 88 children to be diagnosed this year, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study released on March 29. This has raised concerns and drawn attention to the needs of children and families living with ASD. While autism remains without a definitive cause or known cure, much of the focus at the individual level surrounds treatment, as well as schooling of children with an ASD. Robin Johnson, student success coordinator with the St. Marys Area School District, said just 10 years ago the district had zero students identified as autistic or having ASD. "This school year, we have 27 students identified as autistic," Johnson said. Johnson has been with the district for 10 years, having previously held positions as a teacher's aide, alternative education teacher, and learning support teacher. Prior to her joining the district, she worked in the mental health field. In her tenure with SMASD, Johnson has witnessed the growing rates of autism firsthand and acknowledges that there have been changes as well as advancements in overall awareness of the subject within the academic community during that time period. But as the developmental disorders under the umbrella term "ASD" are characterized by a number of exhibited symptoms, including impaired social interactions; problems with verbal and nonverbal communication; and repetitive behaviors; or severely limited activities and interests, Johnson said there is an inherent difficulty educators face in identifying effective instruction methods for students with developmental disorders. "Training from our IU9 has helped with the district's awareness. The main focus of change is that students' communication skills with ASD are usually poor, and as a district we realize this is a barrier for learning. Most students have the cognitive abilities to learn, but it's difficult to find the right strategy or supplemental aid to help the student communicate," Johnson said. Under the IDEA Act, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are required for any student with ASD. "While autism affects each child differently, most children with autism do not learn like typically developing children, by observing and imitating what they hear and see others say and do. Children with autism lack the internal mechanism by which typical children learn how to communicate, behave and play. Therefore, they must learn how to learn. As a result, the single most important intervention for a child with autism is a highly structured, specialized, intensive education plan," Johnson said. As Johnson explained it, the process by which an IEP is designed follows an evaluation in which a child is determined to have ASD and be in need of special education services. "The regulations are very specific about how school districts must conduct evaluations of children thought to have a disability. Evaluations must be conducted by a group of persons, called a multidisciplinary team. The multidisciplinary team includes parents and professionals such as the following: school psychologist, speech and language pathologist, occupational or physical therapist, medical specialists, classroom teachers, principals and/or supervisor of special education. The team decides if the student has a disability and is in need of specially designed instruction, and therefore is eligible for special education. Then an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) is developed by the IEP team. The team decides what are the best supports needed for the student to be successful in all aspects of learning," Johnson said. In addition, Johnson said special services, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, transportation and speech therapy are available, whereby the teacher integrates the sensory and behavioral needs within the daily classroom activities. Johnson refers to the "severalty" of ASD in identifying three main components concerning the education of children with a disorder as being communication, social skills, and behavioral interest.One aspect of the communication component, Johnson said, can involve students' delayed development of speech and nonverbal skills in relation to their cohorts and norms for their age groups. "They also have trouble understanding the meaning of spoken or written language. A child may take words exactly as they mean-- that is, he or she will have a very literal sense of language and won't be able to understand jokes or sarcasm. He or she may also find it difficult to read body language and facial expressions. Older children may have an unusual use of language, and have difficulty starting or keeping up conversations," Johnson said. Johnson added that children with severe autism may be nonverbal, but can be prompted to communicate in other ways, such as through signing or using pictures.Johnson also said the social challenges associated with many forms of ASD manifest in a number of ways, some of which are not conducive to the educational setting.

I've got two reasons to watch my weight over the next several weeks. First, it's the holiday season, when the national sport is overeating. Second, I've got another knee replacement coming up soon, and the lighter I am going in, the easier the recovery will be.
Maybe that's why I've been noticing the county's public service ad campaign around town. The ads are on billboards and transit shelters, among other places, and each one examines two different meal options.
The double cheeseburger, large fries and large cola depicted on one ad, for example, add up to 1,250 calories. But scale back to a cheeseburger, small fries and small cola, and the damage is a mere 680 calories.
This theme is repeated with sandwiches, pizza and breakfast. You can stuff yourself with four pancakes, two fried eggs and four strips of bacon, then waddle away under the weight of 1,050 calories. Or, if you think you can survive with two fewer pancakes and two fewer pieces of bacon, you're down to 650 calories.

"The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow is going hiking. "Precious" director Lee Daniels plans on meditating. And "Crazy Heart" actor Jeff Bridges will be happy just to know if he's coming or going as Hollywood prepped for the 67th Annual Golden Globes Awards.
From screenings and fittings to gift suites and pre-parties, eager anticipation was everywhere this weekend in advance of Sunday night's big show. Here's a sampling:
A SPOT OF TEA: Nominees for Sunday night's Golden Globes made the rounds this weekend — to stylists and gift suites and to a number of major red-carpet events, including the 16th Annual Awards Season Tea Party, hosted by BAFTA-LA, the Los Angeles arm of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts.
The event, held at the Beverly Hills Hotel, attracted acting vets Jane Fonda, Joan Collins and current Globe nominee Helen Mirren ("The Last Station"). Relative newcomer Jeremy Renner was there, too — just hours after his Iraq-war drama's Best Picture win at Friday night's Critics' Choice Awards.
"It's tremendous," Renner said, when asked about dressing up for the weekend. "It's awesome. You get to wear fine clothes. Armani really hooks you up with some fine things. I've got Andrew Buckler on today, which looks great. I'm the same dude, just looking a little bit better."
Former Globe contender Maggie Gyllenhaal decided only recently to go to the Globes, in part to show support for her "Crazy Heart" costar Jeff Bridges, who is nominated for best Actor in a drama. "When I've been nominated, you get like 20 dresses and you try them all on and you do the whole thing," Gyllenhaal said. "I came out here actually for work, and only decided last minute, actually, to go to the Globes. And I tried on one dress and that's the dress I'm wearing."
"Up in the Air" nominee Anna Kendrick observed, "It's really strange when you're rolling up to something that's a special night, you feel like you should be able to kind of give your skin and your hair a break. And it's been kind of nonstop. I'm wearing makeup like all day everyday. I'm sort of waiting for the most disastrous breakout any moment."
As for her dress? "I think it's really special and I'm really happy with it," the diminutive Kendrick replied. "And my roommate basically said the magic words when I put it on. He said it made me look tall."
ALL ABOUT THE GLOBES: Sandwiched between Friday night's Broadcast Film Critics awards and Sunday night's Golden Globes was the 35th Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards on Saturday night.
Among the big LAFCA winners: "The Hurt Locker" and its Kathryn Bigelow for best picture and director, Jeff Bridges for best actor in "Crazy Heart," and Mo'Nique for best supporting actress.
But the talent talk on the carpet was all about the Globes, including Mo'Nique, a nominee for supporting actress for her work in "Precious."
Asked about her wardrobe plans for Sunday night's ceremony, Mo'Nique replied with a laugh, "It's really what you wear under the dress that makes the dress great."
For "Young Victoria" actress nominee Emily Blunt, getting her dress on for the Globes will be a relaxed affair. "I mean, I try to keep it really low key," she explained.
She will assemble her prep team early, Blunt said. "Everyone has a catchup, and has some breakfast together, and we all just hang out, and then we all start getting ready. And then there's no mad rush of, 'Makeup person has an hour. Hair person has an hour. And then you've got to get in the dress.'"
"I like to be on time," noted Julianne Moore, nominated for a supporting actress Globe for "A Single Man." "That to me is the most important thing," she continued. "As long as I feel like I'm managing my time well and I get out of the house at the right time, (I'm all right.)"
"Getting ready is really a little weird," said Gabourey Sidibe, nominee for best dramatic actress in "Precious." "Yeah, I've got to pick out a dresses and things like that," she said. "But, also, I have to find time to do it, and that's a little stressful. And also getting nails done, hair done — all of it. It's a little crazy. And it's winding down to the 11th hour, and I don't have anything ready yet. I might show up in a garbage bag."
Let's hope Bridges simply shows up. "I've been doing this (the awards circuit) for a while now, explained the "Crazy Heart" nominee. "We just got back from Nashville, New York. I don't know if I'm coming or going. You know what I'm saying?"
GLOBES GLEE: The cast of TV's "Glee" said they were developing new rituals to prepare for Sunday's Golden Globes, where the Fox show is up for best comedy series and stars Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch are nominated for their performances.
"I've never done an award show so I guess I'll have to start a ritual," said Lynch, who plays mean-spirited cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on the show. "I bet I will probably get up and have coffee like I always do."
Other "Glee" stars dreamed of more luxurious preparations.
"I will cleanse myself in the waters of Nepal," said Mark Salling, who plays Puck.
"I should have a ritual, like I should bathe in milk or something extravagant," said Jayma Mays, who plays the show's prim and proper school counselor. "I'll come up with something."
Lynch said she was overwhelmed by the whole thought of the Golden Globes, but her biggest concern was what to wear.
"My greatest worry was the dress and I found one," she said. "So that is psychological relief and now I might be too stupid to be nervous."

Who Is Warren Buffett's Secretary?
Debbie Bosanek is not the talkative type, especially about tax reform.
For nearly two decades, Debbie Bosanek has fielded press calls, investor queries, and sundry other requests for her boss, billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Now, she herself is in the middle of a very bright spotlight.
On Monday the White House revealed its debt-reduction package. The most controversial, headline-grabbing portion of the $4.4 trillion plan is what Obama calls the "Buffett rule," which would ensure that people making more than $1 million a year pay higher rates than middle-income taxpayers. It is named for an often-repeated aphorism of Buffett's, calling for higher levies on the rich: Buffett says he pays a lower overall tax rate than his hardworking secretary does, and that is wrong.
"People making more than $1 million a year should not pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than middle-class families pay," Obama said in announcing his plan. "Warren Buffett's secretary shouldn't pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett. … It is wrong that in the United States of America, a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker who earns $50,000 should pay higher tax rates than somebody pulling in $50 million."
Whether Bosanek really does pay a higher tax rate than Buffett, or whether the working class pays a higher tax rate than the gilded super-rich, is hard to say. Bosanek certainly isn't chiming in.
Reached via telephone at Berkshire Hathaway's Omaha offices on Tuesday morning, she sighed and politely responded: "I'm sorry, I'm not doing any interviews on that."
"I understand you must be getting deluged."
"I've got to let you go. Bye-bye." With that, she hung up.
So what do we know about Debbie Bosanek? Not much. According to public records and press reports, she is 55 years old, lives outside of Omaha, and has short-cropped red hair. Mentioning her name at Gorat's, an Omaha steakhouse, will get you an extra boat of gravy when ordering the hot roast beef sandwich. Perhaps most important, she appears to have the admiration and loyalty of her boss, Warren Buffett, who has praised her by name in his famous investor letters and referred to her as his " invaluable assistant." (He also provided the tip about the gravy.)
Among journalists, she is known for giving brief, timely answers to the hundreds of requests that make their way to Berkshire Hathaway's offices every year. "We have read American Express' statement and we agree with it." The stockholder meeting is "just like Christmas" for the investor. Dozens of "Scheduling difficulties prevent Mr. Buffett from attending." Most of these, indeed, are nonstatements. "No comment." "There is nobody available to comment." "If we make a filing, it speaks for itself."
At one news conference, she reportedly wore a T-shirt that said, "Hi, I'm Debbie B. Warren is not available, and I have no comment."
She is a gatekeeper—someone designed to tamp down on the news, not to make it. She appears only a handful of times in Alice Schroeder's excellent, long biography of Buffett, The Snowball, described once as "amiable." But Schroeder says that Bosanek is a "lovely," "polite," and "competent" person.
"Her greatest skill is in sheltering Buffett from all the demanding people asking for money or for appearances," she says. "There's no public-relations or investor-relations person at Berkshire Hathaway. So her title might be secretary. But she's his personal assistant and the spokesperson for the whole company, when he is not available."
Schroeder says that someone as professional and skilled as Bosanek would easily make six figures on Wall Street. "But it's Omaha," she says, noting that nobody in the Berkshire offices makes much and guessing she makes less than $100,000 a year. "Warren does give her some Berkshire stock every year, either on her birthday or on Christmas."
It is certainly possible that Bosanek pays a higher portion of her income in taxes than Buffett. (In his recent New York Times op-ed, Buffett says he pays the lowest rate of all the staffers in his office.) Even with the gifted stock, she likely makes most of her money in wages. Buffett makes nearly all his money from investments, benefiting from a spate of breaks and loopholes. But as a general point, Buffett is wrong: In aggregate, richer earners do pay higher rates.

It's not without precedent.
by SilverPhoenix » Fri May 06, 2011 11:53 amThe Walking Dead #83
For as much as I regret to say it, I have not been a good boy when it comes to "The Walking Dead." Sure, I know the premise of the book, and I've read the first collection of the title, but beyond that I have yet to catch up on the work, so there's no fair way for me to do a detailed analysis of this title. With that being said, as a non-established reader, I found that there was plenty to commend with this book on a surface level
Writing wise, the plot itself (which I got a little bit more perspective of from reading the last issue) was really good, as it was quite easy to understand the danger and struggle the protagonists had to go through to beat the zombie hoard. Another thing that I liked is that it seems like this story is constantly shifting gears, thereby keeping readers on its toes. Of course, you don't want to overkill the readers with "guess the swerve", but "The Walking Dead" seems very good at keeping the suspense up from month to month, which is what more comics need. Overall, I have to commend Robert Kirkman for his versatility, as this book is most definitely a different animal from Invincible, and yet is still written with the same (if not greater) quality than his Superhero Opus.
For an Industry that has long advanced to color, amazing Black and White art is always a treat, and "The Walking Dead" is no exception. The art team obviously carries the load here, as the fight scene is main event of the book, and it's due to strong depictions of what's going on in this battle that delivers the bang that the issue needs to stand out. Another thing that I liked about the Black and White art is that it seems to represent how 2 dimensional the world has become in the wake of the Zombie Apocalypse, which adds just another layer to the proceedings. Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn definitely deserves the props they've gotten for their work thus far.
When you get right down to it, "The Walking Dead" #84 is a solidly written and drawn effort that honors the pedigree the series obviously has. While the new reader will not be able to appreciate everything that goes on here, they'll still get a solidly written book that will be one of the better ones they read during the week. Not a bad deal for everyone involved.
Final Judgment: 8.25
by Daringd » Sun May 08, 2011 2:28 pmTWD #84
While not the best of the No Way Out Arc it still better than most comics in stores at the moment. The art was solid and Kirkman knows what to do. I just wish we could have found out if Carl is well you know....
by BlueStreak » Tue Jun 07, 2011 7:57 pmAny book that features children getting shot in the face deserves at least a 7.
Average score: 7.30
