When you long-press the Home button, is that bringing up only recently used apps and processes, or ones that are currently using the phone's resources (and thus consuming power)?
and you can swipe them to the left to close them if you so desire. If you are looking to close apps that may be running in the background, tap the left "menu" icon just below the screen and choose manage apps to close any background apps that may be consuming battery and data. David
That is a list of the recently used apps yes, but swiping them left or right will not close them it just removes them from the list there. Just to be clear, if you want to close them do as YellowJacket suggested and by going under APPS and then Running and you can click on it and close it from there.
But ics does a pretty good job of closing them on its own... I've found that it does close gsam if you swipe on it in the recent apps area... It shows as restarted.. that's odd..to me.
Another interesting thing I've noticed about the list of recently-used apps - if an app is opened from within another app, the child will not appear in the list. For instance, if you browse your SD card with Astro, then open an image file from there with My Gallery, only Astro will appear in the list. Not My Gallery, since it was called from within Astro.

vibrating belair
hi fella's i brought a 66 belair 16 months ago i have replaced the front wheels,tyres,tie rod,all ball joints,wheel bearings,all suspension bushes, shockers, now i am rippin my bloody hair out from frustration, i have a vibration in the front end i cant get rid off,any ideas or tricks that might help, i have had advice from a lot which has led me to replace all these items but still no better, as i have replaced the suspension it also still has a 1 inch lean to the right ( lower ) i have checked & rechecked the position of the springs & there all good the body mounts are evan the chassis is all square & evan, any suggestions

You sure its coming from the front end?...I would check your "U" joints in the drive shaft.
Cole |
I had a car doing that years ago, turned out my brand new tires were out of round. Jack the front end up, set up a stationary reference point and rotate them. Back in those days they just sort of milled them off.
What speeds do you have these vibrations? Do they go away above or below a certain speed? Do you feel it in the seat of your pants or the steering wheel? Post some more info. Good luck.
i replaced the upper a arms when i replaced the bushes this car has always had the problem when i brought it thats why i have replaced what i have the lower arms are ok i checked when i replaced the lower bushes i have noticed i small hair line crack coming from behind the steering box (which has no play at all from the chassis)wether this could cause any problems i not sure ?? i manage ( & work ) in a tyre shop doing front end work & alignments , balancing ect ect this has got me stumped evan worse its my bloody car!!
as for the speeds in your own lingo about 20-30 miles gets worse about 50-60 miles.gggrrrr have spent a lot of time & money on it lately with no results all suggestions are appreciate..oh by the way i to scared to tell the misses i still havnt fixed the problem after i told her its nothin its an easy fix trust me love. thanks fellas.. |

text: January 2, 2012 | perivision | Leave a comment Jailbreak of iOS 5.0.1 has been out for awhile and now unlock has been released. So I thought I would gather the links you need to pull this off. If you are not sure about the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking your iphone, have a look at this iphone jailbreaking FAQ. If you do not need to unlock your phone, follow this link and follow the instructions. Jailbreaking the iphone 5.0.1 Now, if you want to unlock your phone as well, make sure you use the preserve baseband method . Something you will need to do is create a custom iOS ipsw file. I would recommend doing this regardless if you are unlocking or now. I included the instructions from iphone4jailbreak.org Follow the tutorial below to create custom iOS 5.0.1 ipsw file and use it with Redsn0w 0.9.10b1 and PwnageTool to unlock your iPhone 4 using Ultrasn0w 1.2.5 available for free in Cydia. Unlock available for supported baseband only ( list at the bottom ) . This tutorial will also come in handy for Gevey Sim users who need to preserve their old baseband 04.10.01 for unlock . Method 1 : Redsn0w Baseband Preservation Method Steps to create custom iOS 5.0.1 ipsw and Unlock iPhone 4 – Redsn0w: Download Redsnow 0.9.10b1 Download iOS 5.0.1 ipsw file Launch Redsn0w.exe app in "Administrator Mode" . Click Extras > Custom IPSW and select the iOS 5.0.1 ipsw file downloaded in Step 2 Redsn0w will now create a custom ipsw file for your device and save it as "no_bb" as a prefix for the file name. Turn off your iPhone and use Redsnow > Extras > Pwned DFU to put your device in recovery mode Launch iTunes and press SHIFT + Restore and select the custom ipsw created in Step 5 iTunes will upgrade your phone to iOS 5.0.1 preserving its baseband . Now follow the Redsn0w tutorial here to jailbreak your iPhone . After jailbreak is complete unlock your iPhone 4 , iPhone 3GS using Ultrasnow 1.2.5 . Method 2 : PwnageTool Baseband Preservation Method Download PwnageTool for iOS 5.0.1 Launch the application on your Mac and select your iOS device ( iPhone 4 in this case) Now PwnageTool will search and find your iOS firmware (iOS 5.0.1) . If it is unable to find the firmware , choose "Expert" mode and browse the ipsw file downloaded from Apple servers (link) . Now click on "Build" to create the custom IPSW for your device. Follow on-screen instructions to put your device in DFU mode (Pwned DFU) for restore with iTunes . Launch iTunes and select the custom ipsw file created by PwnageTool . To do this you have to press and hold Option + Restore button and select the custom firmware Itunes will now restore and jailbreak your device while also preserving its baseband for unlock with Ultrasn0w and Gevey Sim . Note : The Ultrasnow 1.2.5 unlock works for the following supported basebands of iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS . iPhone 4S unlock is not available yet . 01.59.00 04.26.08 05.11.07 05.13.01 05.12.01 06.15.00 Follow

I guess she takes the pics and then puts them on twitter and all the guys do this
that ass just brings a tear to my eye true onion booty right there
a good leader knows how to follow
At first I couldn't understand why Deelishes as a married woman and mother keeps taking pics of her ass and body lately and putting them on the web when she's accomplished a lot from her days as winner of Flava of Love Season 2 to putting out her own jean line.
1. She was doing urban modeling before she went on the show.
2. After having a baby, she's proud of her body/booty and wants to show it off.
3. She's getting older and feels she looks desirable and great for her age
- I get it Deelishes.
damn.. i forget Deelishis dropped a puppy.
i wonder if she had surgery to loose the weight
Yo I have been thinking the same thing to espically when she first had the kid then months later she had that booty shot. I was like damn she got a .... KID! lol Well she is a sexy milf
Damn and she dropped that stripper video on wshh after she had the baby. She still in clubs and **** like she single with no kids. hey thats her life
I still want stick it in

Re: Forcing a Derivative
Scott, You have to actually put the FUNCTION in the Derivative[x][function] statement and then append a [x] to evaluate at an x value. I assume that you really want the product of the two functions. f[x_] = x^2 + 7; g[x_] = 3x^3 + 23; Derivative[2][Function[x, f[x]g[x]]] %[x] Function[x, 18*x*f[x] + 2*g[x] + 2*Derivative[1][f][x]*Derivative[1][g][x]] 36*x^3 + 18*x*(7 + x^2) + 2*(23 + 3*x^3) Or using the slot form Derivative[2][f[#]g[#] &] %[x] 2*g[#1] + 18*f[#1]*#1 + 2*Derivative[1][f][#1]* Derivative[1][g][#1] & 36*x^3 + 18*x*(7 + x^2) + 2*(23 + 3*x^3) This checks with the usual method of taking the derivative. D[f[x]g[x], {x, 2}] 36*x^3 + 18*x*(7 + x^2) + 2*(23 + 3*x^3) David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Scott Guthery [mailto:sguthery at mobile-mind.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net How does one force Derivative[n] to actually take the derivative? For example if ... f[x_] = x^2 + 7 g[x_]=3x^3 + 23 then Derivative[2][f * g] just puts a couple of primes on the product rather than actually computing the dervative. Thanks for any insight. Cheers, Scott

German Fruit Bread: Not a Vegan Brownie, That's For Sure
When is a brownie not a brownie? When it's a fruit bread.
Laine Doss
Welcome to Short Order Show & Tell, where one of us brings a local
delicacy to our weekly staff meeting, and we all weigh in on its
Today's experiment was German Fruit Bread from Crackerman Crackers in Bay Harbor Islands.
The tasting started out well enough, except for one thing. Everyone at the table thought it was a vegan brownie. Vegan it was -- brownie it wasn't.
The bread, filled with nuts, apricots, and figs, was noted as being "too
dry." Strangely, the bread either had "too much" or "not enough" cocoa
for New Times palates.
The general consensus was to "86 this and
all fruit cakes". Good to note when planning your holiday shopping --
no. fruit. cake. ever....
The final verdict: a generous 2.5 out
of 10, which was graded on a curve. If you want to pick up a loaf ($6),
Crackerman Crackers is at the Coconut Grove Organic Market on Saturdays or you can shop online.

Leads are the lifeblood of any independent professional's business. Whether they are found through referrals, online inbound marketing, or even through cold calling, leads are necessary to keep your business healthy and growing.
Not all leads are equal, however. An independent professional could be drowning in leads, but if none of them are qualified leads, then interactions with them will not result in sales.
So how can independent professionals ensure that the leads they are getting are good ones? Here are a few tips to doing just that.
1. Understand your ideal lead. An independent professional may have a good grasp on who their ideal customer is, but what about their ideal lead? Delve deeper than just "someone who is ready to buy now." What is it that makes them ready to buy? What makes your ideal leads easier to convert? Why is it that they would choose your services rather than a competitor's? Once you have created a detailed picture of your ideal lead, focus your promotional efforts on attracting them specifically.
2. Decide on a process for leads. Rather than attempting to fit every lead into the same mold, and trying to sign them as clients right away, tailor your actions to the lead's state of readiness to buy. For leads who might not be ready just yet, don't push them. Instead, funnel them into a lead nurturing process you develop. Maybe this means signing them up for your email newsletter, or getting them to like your Facebook page. However you handle these leads, spend time developing a relationship with them, and then once they are ready to buy, you can take the next steps with them.
3. Know what to avoid. Sometimes it can be easier to articulate what you don't want in a client, than what you do want. Create a list of red flags or warning signs in a lead that will tip you off that this potential client is not one that you are willing to take on. While every lead is important to business, sometimes the extra hassle that one client puts you through takes away from your other clients - or from your enjoyment of your work.
4. Aim for the results you want. Independent professionals should make sure to create lead generation systems that result in the exact type of leads they want. Whether that means partnering with a complementary business to exchange leads, or creating a website filled with content that attracts people looking for your exact services, all marketing activities should be geared towards getting only those types of leads.
5. Think like your potential clients. Independent professionals should never approach lead generation thinking like a businessperson. Instead, they should put themselves in the mindset of their ideal leads. What would attract them to a website? What would make them want to sign up for marketing emails? What type of content will they find useful? What specific pain points do they want to overcome? By crafting your marketing materials based on a lead's mindset, rather than your own, you will have much greater success in generating qualified leads.
Following these 5 tips will help ensure that the leads an independent professional generates are quality ones, more likely to convert, and more likely to be their ideal clients.
News and notes for independent professionals and their clients. This is the March 27, 2017 edition.
Coffee shop, coworking space, library, private office—there's plenty of alternatives to working from home as a self-employed professional. Here's how to decide which work environment is best for you.

July 3, 1921 – January 20, 2013
Paul passed away into the presence of his Lord the afternoon of January 20, 2013. He was a devoted husband and father. He was predeceased by his wife Velo in 2007 and his son Doug in 2005. He leaves his son David (Beth) in Australia, daughter Ruth (Terry), daughter in law Maria, 5 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and brother Herb in Winnipeg. Dad was born and raised in Owen Sound, Ontario, joined the RCAF where he met Velo; they were married in November 1944. After Bible School in Winnipeg, their travels took them to many locations though BC. Finally in 1958 they settled in Maple Ridge where Dad was Secretary Treasurer of the School District for many years. Dad was involved in many church building projects in the Maple Ridge area during his life time. He moved to Vancouver to be near his daughter after the passing of his wife. We wish to thank the wonderful staff at Sunrise Assisted Living in Vancouver where Dad enjoyed the best care possible; he loved the view from his 4th floor room.

The United captain has not played for the Red Devils since September following knee surgery and plays alongside Jonny Evans, also on the comeback trail after hamstring trouble
The Serb has not started a match for Sir Alex Ferguson's table-toppers since September after undergoing knee surgery.
Jonny Evans also returns to the United defence, following a hamstring problem, replacing Rio Ferdinand - who drops out of the matchday squad entirely.
The Red Devils are otherwise unchanged so Phil Jones continues at right-back, while Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are again paired in attack.
Michael Laudrup has also made two changes to the side beaten at Tottenham last week.
Michel Vorm has recovered from a groin injury and replaces Gerhard Tremmel, who had been deputising in goal for the past eight league fixtures. Kemy Agustien also comes in for Ki Sung-Yueng in midfield.
Swansea XI: Vorm; Tiendalli, Chico, Williams, Davies; Britton, Agustein; Dyer, De Guzman, Routledge; Michu.
Subs: Tremmel, Graham, Monk, Shechter, Moore, Sung-Yeung, Richards.
Manchester United XI: De Gea; Jones, Evans, Vidic, Evra; Cleverley, Carrick; Valencia, Rooney, Young; Van Persie.
Subs: Lindegaard, Buttner, Fletcher, Giggs, Scholes, Hernandez, Welbeck.

BOULDER — It was just another day at the office for Joe Miks. OK, maybe not. But the Chatfield senior certainly had a field day on the scoreboard Dec. 8 at Boulder High School.
That's because he scored a game-high 28 points — the second-most in his varsity career — in leading Chatfield to a 70-58 win over the host Panthers. But how many points he scored was of little consequence to Miks as long as Chatfield won for the third time in four games this season.
State Rep. Tim Leonard, R-Evergreen, was sentenced Friday to 14 days in jail on two counts of contempt of court in his divorce case with his ex-wife, Monica.
Red Rocks Elementary School kicked off the holiday season over the weekend with its annual Gifts from the Heart event, when students make homemade gifts for their friends and family.
It's been a tradition at the school for about 10 years, and the school aims to make the gifts holiday-neutral so all can participate.
Though there is a small fee for each craft, school secretary Kathleen Hanvey said the event is not meant to be a fund-raiser.
A one-time Denver police officer was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in prison after being found guilty of arranging a tryst at a South Jeffco Burger King with a DA's investigator posing as a 14-year-old.
Joseph Ellsworth, 60, of Colorado Springs was found guilty in October of internet luring of a child and attempted sexual assault on a child.
A jury trial has been set for the D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School principal who in November was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.
Anthony Edwards, 36, has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and domestic violence, according to DA's spokeswoman Pam Russell.
Edwards, who was placed on leave from his position at the school, returned after Thanksgiving break. The district has said the charges are unrelated to Edwards' role at D'Evelyn.
Seventy-five gallons — that's a lot of blood.
But last Friday, Denny Dalpez, a South Jeffco blood donor at Bonfils Blood Center, was recognized for hitting the mark at the Golden center that he frequents. Though he generally donates twice month, it took some time for him to make it to 75 gallons — he's been donating regularly for 23 years.
It's second nature for Dalpez.
"I figure somebody needs my blood more than I do," he said.
Effective immediately, Jeffco Public Schools has instituted a hiring freeze on almost all non-classroom positions, and all new hires will have to be approved by a district cabinet consisting of 11 people.
According to chief human resources officer Amy Weber, the cabinet last week discussed the hiring freeze, which will exclude grant-funded positions and essential positions such as teachers, para-educators, bus drivers and food service employees.
Laurie Lawless sat clutching a ponytail of her recently cut hair in her hand, her shock palpable to the 1,500 or so onlookers who filled the Dakota Ridge High School gymnasium.
The Dakota Ridge mathematics teacher had not had a haircut in nine years — since the school held its very first Shave for the Cure event.
Representatives of the Foothills Park & Recreation District met with Jeffco's county commissioners on Tuesday to discuss options to sell two parcels of land in South Jeffco for development.

Hello NEWGROUNDS!
"Zombie porn? FINALLY something good to fap fap fap to! So dim the light, sit back and have yourself a nice, good wank!" - M.B.
I made four variations of classic PLAYBOY covers as collectibles in a zombie game I had made, sadly no one had ever found them because the game was never released. The idea of a zombie porno came from a friend and fellow artist (Emma Wolf) who photographed herself at local stores dressed as a provocative zombie, she compiled the images and called the creation "Dead Girl". I guess this is my take on that idea.

So this is a classic one eh? I haven't seen your older stuff yet, this was a good start on my journey though. :)

Holy shit! Found this in your "Related Stuff" section thinking, "I don't recognize this." I'm glad I clicked on it, because something about this is really fucking cool too me. It really does look like one of those cool old playboy colors that I looked at at the beginning of my horny days (A.K.A. two years ago, lol) except it has a cool twist on it. Oh yeah, and the eyes and hair are perfect.
Thanks man, I actually have like 5 different playdead covers drawn, however, sadly, there are on my old hard drive which crashed last year.

alright so i personally think this is one of the most underrated art portal submissions. Yo i think its fucking awesome, great concept, and kick ass job on colouring, shading, and rendering. I also agree with u, we do not have enough zombie porn! LOL no but great job, one of my favs ever on art portal.

MoooOOOooorning Early Birds – Happy Wednesday!
MoooOOOooorning Early Birds – Happy Wednesday!
Chica, you've got to check out the terrific Maddow segment on #ACA & PBO. Am looking for it right now.
O, and Good Morninng! 🙂
I think this is the link – 17 minutes of TRUTH.
'Armageddon' not brought by Obamacare success'
Morning, Sweetie Potato Pie! Nice to see you, bleary-eyed though I am.
Hello there, DannyOstix! (ps. Chica, give my young nephew an extra hug with my name on it, please. I notice he has been a good boy since I haven't spotted any new complaints….oops…. comments about either sweaters or flower pots. I mean, even indestructible toys seem to be holding on to their indestructibility.)
Thank you, SW! The 'fantastic' portion has already started to unfold. You make sure you grab hold of a piece! 🙂
Congrats on first, vc. And YES! It Is the 'Age of Obama' and I feel wonderful just thinking about it!
Morning to one and all.
Ms. Chips, I sincerely hope you will carry on even after January '17. I believe President Obama's work has just begun. After leaving office, I believe the true power of this incredible man and his glowing family will truly blossom on a global scale and I don't want to miss a single second!!!
Ssshhh, Lynn; don't ask about CC carrying on ……yet. You've got to use strategy; or is it tactics? (Ask McCain.) Anyways, you don't want to overwhelm Chica two years out. She has a life, you know?
Suggest it to her gently on the day the O's are actually leaving the WH (when there are tears in her eyes and heart and …..)
I stuck my foot in it again, didn't I, vc? Maybe if I sneak behind the sofa, she won't notice me.
OOPS! She saw me, but she seems amenable to the suggestion. Keeping fingers crossed.
Good Morning Lynn!
"Ms. Chips, I sincerely hope you will carry on even after January '17. "
I soooooooo agree, Lynn. I think we will *need* this haven even more depending on who is in the White House at that point.
You nailed it, SW. I absolutely "NEED" the sanity FIX this wonderful community presents.
O GODDESS! PLEASE!! Begging on bended knee or two or three (if I had one extra)!!
Okey-dokey, here is that great Maddow video in a tweet! It will warm the cockles of your heart. Anyone know where the cockles in your heart are located?
Forget it, my head can't retain science so I don't know why I asked, just watch the video. 😉
VP Joe, the "Joyful Id of this administration". I think Rachel characterized him quite well there…. 🙂
She did an excellent job and seemed to be enjoying herself immensely. I was actually amazed that there was no 'sting' in this segment. On the rare occasions these days when I watch today's media do segments on PBO I usually hold my breath, but this was one long segment of truth. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks for sharing this with us vc – I will watch the video based on your recommendation. 🙂
It was indeed an excellent segment. Glad I watched it! I liked how she began with the highlighting differences between PBO and Bush on the stimulus issue. 🙂
🙂 I loved each moment of it, Hf. Journalism like I dream it should be.
Phew! /slicking the sweat from my brow now/ 🙂
Racel was great last night and she devoted 33 minutes of her show to Obamacare. Al and Ed did that , too.
Very unusual for MSNBC where stories are generally one segment, not two.
Last night I felt that MSNBC was My network.
GM, Vicki!
Yeah. I'm glad Hope44 & COS tipped me off, 'cause I no longer watch ANY of them unless I get a recommendation. No time to poison my psyche with their lies – I hate taking medication so I can't afford for the doc to up my blood pressure meds. 😉
Morning Ms Chips and everyone! Congrats on first vc! Looking forward to the Maddow segment, just watched the Speech on the previous thread, thanks so much!
one of the very few times your first greeting of the day did not specifically mention the lurkers
You're right , VC, the GOP politico/media complex never, ever changes. When they can't find real flaws, they have to make up "what ifs" and offer up faux concern as if they really cared. If a Republican administration had had this success, there would not be a media outlet in the country that wouldn't be trumpeting this achievement as the greatest in American history. The R president would be glorified, statues commissioned, golden laurel wreaths forged. But Democrats can get credit for nothing and even great success means failure for them/
They are warped, sick souls.
Morning, JackieG! 🙂 🙂 It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood! (Can't imagine why that sentence keeps popping up in my head for the last week or so.) 😀 😀
As you well know, and have previously expressed in one way or another, it's because the #GOP 'never, ever changes' and 'Democrats can get credit for nothing' that we have to celebrate our own successful accomplishments and not let RWNJs encroach on our happiness when it's celebration time. The fact is, this IS the greatest achievement in American history within recent decades, AND there will be lives longer on this earth because of this. I really don't think the nutjobs and their media can change THAT! Consider this, whether or not *they* glorify our President, millions of lives will, ……..just by living. I find that pretty cool; plus I'm reminded that PBO didn't do this for glory, but because he has a HEART for PEOPLE. They can't take that away from him, or indeed from us.
It's a fantabulously, beautiful day in the neighbourhood! 😉 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Well, VC that's two song titles in one comment–"It's a wonderful day in the Neighborhood" and my absolute favorite, "They can't Take that Away from Me." Bravo!!!
Not bad for a musically challenged 'music mom', eh? Son would be proud of me….maybe. /beaming and bowing / 🙂 😉
Good morning all! This week has been such an emotional high that it feels as if it should be Friday already. I am still buzzed and very, very grateful that so many millions of people have coverage. I don't want to hear one complaint, or 'hedge' about ObamaCare from any Democratic candidate in this country. We the voters have the power. Let's make sure they all stand up and shout to the rooftops that we are proud, we are Democrats and we embrace our accomplishments.
So according to a new Quinnipiac poll, Dems are now leading in the generic congressional ballot. Next week the MSM/GOP will come out with a new anti-Obama narrative and the polls will revert accordingly… LOLZ…I tells ya…these polls are too funneh! The GOP/MSM can keep them – but we Dems will work on the poll that matters – the one in November 2014.
Good Wednesday Morning Chipsticks…TODers!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and don't forget to be AWESOME!!! 🙂
NW, you are *always* awesome as well as what you do for this blog. You are very much appreciated.
A great piece up today by the cartoonist Tom Toles
"Here it is, in brief. The American healthcare system was a disgraceful mess before Obamacare, leaving growing numbers of people uncovered in a system of unchecked and runaway wasteful costs. Since Obamacare was passed the standard has changed and we are moving toward humane universal coverage, like every other advanced nation. And the costs and delivery systems are finally subject to at least the beginnings of a discussion about costs and results. Sanity and humanity prevailed, for once."
"Now you may return to the endless river of disingenuous carping."
true focus on the what matters – the people whose lives are made better (many for the first time) because they have access to health services, thanks Obamacare
this is great!
perfect representation of the obstruction, venom, and negativity aimed one person by so many heavy hitters – yet he beat them all;
I know it is a graphic. but damn, I can't help but worry about PBO being squeezed under all that gop garbage – had to stop myself from screaming 'get off him"
"had to stop myself from screaming 'get off him"
😆 I felt the same Linda!!!!
Love the cartoon but it misses something: Media people in the assistance, cheering the republican team !
Good morning, TODers.
Here's a great reminder from Jonathan Gruber that enrollment in Obamacare will only continue to grow throughout the year:
"The number of Americans that will eligible for these qualifying events is large. In 2012, for example, 7.6 million people lost coverage and became uninsured. Almost half of this group, or 3.4 million, cited loss of job as the reason for losing insurance; another 600,000 cited loss of student insurance upon graduation or due to aging out of parental coverage; another 200,000 cited divorce as the source of insurance loss; while 60,000 lose insurance because they move. All of these are qualifying events that would trigger a special enrollment period for people who are currently insured but who lose access to coverage over the course of a year. These figures suggest that roughly 4 million Americans who previously faced the harsh reality of life without insurance can now access fairly priced and often subsidized insurance through state and federal exchanges, or, in many states, expanded Medicaid coverage."
This is another part of Obamacare that should be shouted from the roof tops….it is not just about the uninsured….it is a safety net for allllllll of us….
God Bless President Obama!
Thanks, meta for posting this.
POTUS mentioned the continuing enrollment for life changes yesterday in what felt to me like a gentle pivot from Yes We Did It to What Will Happen Next (life change enrollment) and What We Have To Do Next (All states need to accept medicaid expansion.)
When all the numbers are in, maybe by May 1, we will be blown away by the extent to which the ACA has improved life in the USA!
Good morning, TOD!
One of the comments is pure gold:
Dear Lord,
First let me thank you for helping D.C. show America the way.
Please see to it that you help the people all over this Nation, kick out of offce every elected official—Federal,State, Local—who has an Uncle Earl."
Thanks, Lord, that's all for now."
Just finally listened to POTUS' speech yesterday.. My only wish is that he could remain in office another 10 years. It is long past time that I took the time to write him a letter and thank him for all that he's done, and all that he continues to do for us.
Yes, Sherijr. I was late to listening to it as well because I couldn't find it before Chips posted it. It was a thing of beauty that only our president could conceive and deliver. No one else will ever be like him, but he deserves to get away from the Cesspool that is Washington and go on to other things. Those things will be great and will benefit the world. Meanwhile, we have to find and elect someone to the presidency who will carry on his legacy. Only two that I can think of–Joe Biden or Martin O'Malley.
Here is the link to the YouTube clip Amk; You are right! It was very cool and funny and touching how Stephen was so thrilled to sit next to FLOTUS!
I will also post on the current TOD page…
It appears the ME peace talks have begun to unravel. My heart breaks for Sec Kerry, who's put so much effort into these negotiations.
American efforts to extend the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations have reached a breaking point: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry feels he has maximized his potential as peace mediator and sees no chance for progress if the sides refuse to make major decisions on their own, senior American officials told The Washington Post and The New York Times in articles published Wednesday.
An American official said that Kerry's decision to cancel his trips to Jerusalem and Ramallah represented a growing lack of patience within the White House, which "believes that his mediating efforts have reached their limit and that the two sides need to work their way out of the current impasse."
as long as nut n yahoo is in charge, this is a non-starter. Israelis need to wake the fuck up.
I urge caution as John Kerry himself cautioned folks to not reach any conclusions about what is or isn't going to happen – the process is still very live as we speak.
"Even after the official cutoff, more than 100,000 people at a time were on HealthCare.gov, the online federal insurance marketplace, into the early morning hours, according to a person familiar with the details of the last-minute surge."
Indeed donna – isn't this amazing? Although the headline is a bit misleading – enrollment HAS surpassed 7 million and with the unfinished applicants, is probably more on track to reach 8 million!

Morning everyone! Feeling MUCH better today after I caught up on my sleep….anyway, this is hilarious! Musings from a Libertarian Police Dept…just funny.
I was shooting heroin and reading "The Fountainhead" in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
"Bad news, detective. We got a situation."
"What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?"
"Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars' worth of bitcoins."
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. "What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?"
"Not yet. But mark my words: we're going to figure out who did this and we're going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so."
"Easy, chief," I said. "Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair."
He laughed. "That's why you're the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins."
"Don't worry," I said. "I'm on it."
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
"Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®" I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. "Nobody move unless you want to!" They didn't.
There's more….
I love Colbert! But I wonder what Jon Stewart had to say about the 7Million and counting, because if I remember correctly, he was one of those in the media who tried to embarrass Secretary Sebellius on his show when the website had initial difficulty. She was focusing on the law and all its benefits, and he kept harping on the website. I will never forget this. You don't try to humiliate an effort for the better good just for your shits & giggles and try to turn people against it.
And the karma is bitchez part was his own TDS site crashed within a coupla days of that stupid interview. I even tweeted him about it.
And this week, he 'mocked' christie's self-vindication and quelle surprise, immediately launched into attack on some county level dem critter's corruption in newyork. fair & balanced ya see? 'cos the man touted to be gop's next prez candie is the same as some local cookie cutter corrupt county person.
That's what I don't like about him. He routinely tries to undermine Democrats – while fooling people with his "rips FOX News/Republicans shtick." Interesting, I wasn't even aware of his site crash. Karma..as you say.
I totally agree with you ! This particular episode demonstrated the true character of Jon Stewart. The difference between Colbert and Stewart ? Both use ridicule to make some good points, but in the case of Stewart, he likes mocking people because it gives him PERSONAL POWER over that person. There's some unhealthy ego thing going on with him. He ENJOYS hurting people, plain and simple.
As opposed to Colbert, who is very rarely unfair. I sense that Colbert is a generous and unselfish man. And when he is extremely harsh on someone, it's because it's well deserved. Think George W. Bush at the Correspondents Dinner. That was painful to watch, but the Bush presidency was, by any OBJECTIVE standard, a disgrace.
Last night I had an absolutely marvelous experience. Two friends called and invited me to see the Soweto Gospel Choir who were appearing at a local college. It was a night I'll never forget. The most glorious vocal music……..I saw and heard in it the seeds of so much music and dance we have today.
The outstanding impression of the choir is JOY. Heartfelt, heartrending joy. If they are anywhere near you, GO. You will be immersed in melody, rhythm, color and beauty and you will not be the same. At the beginning they dedicated the concert to Nelson Mandela. And toward the end, before they sang the South African national anthem, they mentioned him again and said he is the one who made them proud to be South African.
LL…….some night could you find their music and use it for our little night music? It is powerful!
I just checked their tour schedule and sadly they aren't coming to venue near me but maybe others will have better luck:
GM everyone,
Still doing my inner happy dance (too sleepy to do the real thing) of thanksgiving because true health care is finally coming to the U. S. Thank God for PBO's perseverance and for all of the people all over the country from those who voted twice for PBO, to those who have been in the trenches spreading the good word and helping so many of our fellow citizens to enroll (yea, Tally, Bill R. and many more) for affordable health plans that will actually deliver health care. Once again the evil repubs. have egg on their faces. What can the Koch brothers and their ilk have on these people and the media to have them act so foolishly (54 useless votes to repeal a law signed and sealed by the Supreme Court, publishing and broadcasting endless lies) and so heartlessly?
When people say the WH did squat to promote Obamacare, they are flat out wrong. Lots of details here:
I get very angry when I hear people say the WH didn't sell the ACA. I've gotten blocked by even some PBO-supporters because I pushed back hard on their false memes of "poor wh messaging." This is a Chuck Todd/MSM disingenuous meme and it disturbs me when so-called PBO supporters repeat it ad nauseaum.
I've heard for five years running now about the phantom White House messaging problem. Landmark legislation getting passed by the most disciplined on point administration I've seen in my lifetime but here we go again regarding messaging. We get this regurgitated nonsense on just about every issue.
Agreed. I've been an analyst in a communications department and most people don't understand how complex messaging is. It takes a long and concerted effort in the best of environments. Unfortunately, the WH doesn't have the luxury of that and we still managed to have a very, very good outcome. That speaks to the persistence of their work and to our support. It's a necessary and fruitful partnership.
It wasn't that the White House didn't sell the ACA. It's that the White House used unconventional outlets to get out the message. This White House knows how to reach its target audience in this technological age.
Just another example of how the President continues to be the master chess player while his opponents have not risen above the checkers game.
To me wh messaging should be the press passing on the message from the President. Instead it now means needing to fight the lies and complicity in passing on the oppositional lies by the press. Not only getting the message out while they are blocking it, but not having the funding to message with the Congress not allowing advertising money to be included in the bill.
In search of 'any plausible alternative'
04/02/14 08:00 AM—Updated 04/02/14 08:24 AM
By Steve Benen
When President Obama took a brief victory lap on the South Lawn yesterday afternoon, he included a specific taunt that, by my ear, seemed ad-libbed.
"[T]his law is doing what it's supposed to do. It's working. It's helping people from coast to coast, all of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people or undermine the law, or try to repeal the law without offering any plausible alternative so hard to understand. I've got to admit, I don't get it. Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance?"
Note how this turns the Republican line against them. Indeed, Obama's questions need not be rhetorical – why are so many on the right working so hard to deny Americans access to affordable medical care? Why haven't the ACA's critics bothered to present a plausible alternative?
After months on the offensive, Republican opponents of health care reform suddenly find themselves in an awkward position. Not only have all of their predictions turned out to be wrong – more on that later today – but GOP officials are also confronted with polling data that shows repealing "Obamacare" far less popular than the law itself.
Okay, I think I'd better head to the lab for that fasting labwork doc ordered, so that I can come back and put some fuel into this temple of mine. CYL. Keep the joy level at maximum, please. 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂 Thank you, Bradley Cooper:)
Two-time Oscar-nominee and French speaker Bradley Cooper was at the White House for a February 11 state dinner with French President François Hollande. Cooper met with Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to discuss ways he could help promote Obamacare sign-ups.
Cooper, according to Politico, pitched Jarrett on Between Two Ferns, the viral mock-interview series hosted by Zach Galifianakis, Cooper's cast mate from The Hangover movies. Cooper reportedly took out his cell phone and put Galifianakis on speaker. The host was game, and Jarrett and Press Secretary Jay Carney sold Obama on the idea. One month after Cooper floated the idea to Jarrett, the public was watching the president mock The Hangover and deliver his own Obamacare pitch to the American people. Healthcare.gov traffic increased by almost 40 percent compared with the day prior, and FunnyorDie—where Between Two Ferns lives—was the Web site's biggest source of referrals that day.
Call me cheezy , but reading this I couldn't help thinking… God works in mysterious ways sometimes…
Hey, TODers. Been forever since I actually posted although I'm here everyday, several times a day. I'm so proud of Pres Obama, VP Joe and Sec Sebellius. What great people who work so hard for this country against horrific opposition. We worked to educate people on ACA here in Indiana and boy the repukes were awful. They even attacked our navigators and delayed them being able to be trained for three months. And of course our heartless GOP gov refused to expand Medicaid. GOPers are just evil. So funny to listen to the sour grapes from the GOPers who haven't had a good idea in a hundred years and who know nothing about governing.
I just want to thank Chips and you blog tyrants (Dannystix, too) for being the recorders of Pres Obama's phenomenal presidency. Dang it, why can't he be president forever?
Love all you TODers.
(LiberalPhenom on Twitter. Formerly ProudofObama on TOD.)
All is great. Our President continues to kick GOP butt and looks so fine doing it.

Oysters Rockefeller from Grand Central Oyster Bar's Sandy Ingber
Recipe by JohnnyCigar
Sandy Ingber, executive chef at the Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York City, decreed the Royal Miyagi oyster from K & B Seafood as December's Oyster of the Month. The "Bishop of Bivalves" suggests the Royals from Vancouver Island for his renowned Oysters Rockefeller recipe, perfect for a holiday appetizer, and one of the signature dishes of the historic seafood restaurant "below sea level" at Grand Central Terminal. Scott Conant featured this dish on the Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, calling it "old-school cooking at its best." As he says, every component needs to be perfect.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 24 oysters
creamed spinach
- 1 lb frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
- white wine
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch kosher salt
hollandaise sauce
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- 1 1⁄2 cups clarified butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 12 dashes Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Position an oven rack in the top position and heat the broiler. Remove the (Royal Miyagi) oysters from their shells. Oysters should be on the half shell.
- Arrange the shells on a rimmed baking sheet and spread 1 heaping tablespoon of the creamed spinach into each shell. (You'll have some spinach left over.) Set the oysters on top of the spinach. Broil until the oysters are just starting to ruffle, about 1 minute. Remove from the broiler and nap each oyster with about 1 tablespoon hollandaise sauce. Broil until the sauce browns, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- Using tongs, divide the oysters among 4 dinner plates and serve.
- Creamed Spinach.
- Place the spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Transfer the spinach to a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the spinach is warm. Stir in the vin blanc sauce, then season with nutmeg and salt and stir again. Keep the spinach warm until you serve it.
- Hollandaise Sauce.
- Put the egg yolks and wine in a large stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water. The bowl should not touch the water. Whisk vigorously until the yolks are light and tripled in volume. The consistency will be like a pudding, and the yolks will make a ribbon that sits on the surface for 3 seconds when you lift the whisk. Be careful not to scramble the eggs as you whisk; make sure to whisk along the sides of the bowl, and take the bowl off the heat periodically.
- Set the bowl on the counter—on a damp kitchen towel to keep it steady—and whisk in the butter in a very slow, steady stream. Don't add the butter too quickly, or the sauce will break. Once all the butter is added, whisk in the lemon juice, Tabasco, and salt.
- Keep the sauce warm until you're ready to serve it.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
SLA shells PTK hospital, 9 killed, 15 wounded[TamilNet, Monday, 02 February 2009, 02:14 GMT]Sri Lanka Army (SLA) shelled Puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK) hospital Sunday night killing nine civilians, including patients and their family members in the ward. More than 15 civilians were injured. The indiscriminate attack on the hospital has caused panic and tension among the hundreds of wounded civilians at the hospital. The shelling has come despite repeated calls from the medical authorities not to fire shells on the civilian medical facility and within a few hours of a public statement from the ICRC, which said it was shocked by the shelling on hospital twice in recent days. Meanwhile, a source at Vavuniyaa District Secretariat told TamilNet Monday that it was a premeditated massacre as the military was given instructions by the SL Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to isolate hospitals from civilian access by artillery barrage. "Three artillery barrages struck a hospital in Sri Lankas chaotic war zone, slamming into its pediatrics ward and its womens wing and killing nine patients," Associated Press report said quoting ICRC. Earlier, the Sri Lankan military commander of Vanni SF-HQ had instructed the Government Agent of Mullaiththeevu district to shift the hospital to safety zone, giving an ultimatum to the officials. However, as the attacks continued, the ICRC and UN officials had to seek refuge at the hospital in PTK. Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital has also been the place of refuge for the ICRC officials and the UN staff. Article 18 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that the civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict. Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is a signatory to the First, Second and Third Geneva Conventions and it ratified the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, by accession to it, on 23.02.1959.

EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost SC edition review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
The EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost SC edition is a product series that was introduced as a card that needs to compete with the new AMD Radeon HD 7790 (released last week), and yeah it successfully wins from that product in almost any scenario. The EVGA SC edition as such offers plenty of muscle to play today's games with good quality settings and Full HD monitor resolutions. While the rest of the 650 Cards are marginal and lack just a that little extra bite in performance, the Boost editions simply deliver what is needed.
Realistically the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost edition graphics card is a good chunk faster compared to the R7790. While the AMD card with your standard image quality settings is in the 30~35 FPS range at Full HD resolutions, this GTX 660 Ti Boost is continuously in the 40 FPS range at 1920x1080/1200. And really it's precisely where you need to be. The frame-rates are based on modern game titles with good image quality settings. So yeah, Nvidia did really well. To be fair, this card is not a GeForce GTX 650... it's a GTX 660 with a few shader processors disabled. As such you see this product continuously being only a few frames per second lower than that GeForce GTX 660. But who cares right? For less money you get nearly the same performance -- that's a win.
That makes the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost the all new affordable 169 EUR entry-level to mainstream gaming card. Based upon Kepler architecture this product will get you all the benefits and features this architecture has to offer. Even getting 3 or 4 monitors connected is an option. For the GTX 650 series new is a SLi connector.
The EVGA SC edition is a product at entry level mid-range, that sounds a bit weird I know but it's the lowest SKU in mid-range. As such the product is affordable and therefor do keep in mind that the design and money you pay for this product need to be in line. Overall the design looks good with a nice black PCB. The cooler is not the best in the business but it certainly is okay.
Noise levels
Directly related to the aesthetics is the cooling and thus the noise levels. EVGA offers a reference based cooler with different shell. It really offers good performance, under game load it stays under 75 Degrees C. Much like the reference cooler though it makes a slight (what I can only describe as) humming / moaning noise. Not annoying, but it is there.
Power consumption
The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost editions are rated at a 140 Watt TDP. That is on the high side for a 650 series card really but this again is due to the nature of the GTX 660 DNA this card uses. Our measurements show roughly 135 Watt at peak with a modern game is more in line with what you'll see, our model was a factory reference version so expect slightly higher numbers with Factory Faster clocked products. Take that 135 Watt and add to that the processor, memory, motherboard and other peripheral devices, our recommendation stands at a 500 Watt power supply, with a decent overclock that should be sufficient.
Overclocking then, there's not a lot of room left as with the high baseclock the card already is boosting towards 1200+ MHz, and that (without added voltage is roughly what the card can and will do. I say roughly as the boost versus overclock in the end depends a little on GPU transistor leakage and stuff like that. The board power design is 140 Watt, you may increase the power limit with another 10% which means 150~155 Watt of power consumption is at your disposal when overclocking.
As always prices remain debatable. We expect the EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost SC edition should sell for roughly 169 EUR which will differ a bit per country of course, based on the fact that it is the 2GB model, it comes overclocked at pretty interesting levels.
Realistically the price comes down to 165 EUR then the card really is a little gem to purchase. For that money you will receive a nice 2GB graphics card that can play all the latest games at good image quality settings with very acceptable framerates at a resolution of 1920x1080/1200. So is it good value? Yes, it is a versatile and progressive card when it comes to features and options.
Final words
Admittedly I am a bit of a fan of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost itself, the SC edition however ups it a notch in performance, and I like that. The product is one of the value for money type products that seems to be balancing out really well. The reason why I am excited about it is that the product allows you to play your games at 1920x1080 and everyone of you guys by now will have upgraded towards a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080/1200. That's where this card will be a perfect fit as it balances out game quality and performance really well.
The extra factory overclock is fun and seems to make a small difference, and hey now... every little bit helps right? If this is what your budget allows you to spend then yeah, very much recommended is it is a good value product. Obviously you'll get all the benefits from EVGA after sales as well.

I had to laugh when I read this USA Today newspaper headline: "Psychologists now know what makes people happy." I didn't know happiness was a secret to be discovered by my noble profession! Curious, I kept reading. What were these exciting new findings?
If you are a student of the Bible, you won't be surprised.
Research only validates God's way of doing things.
- The happiest people are those who spend the least time alone and pursue
intimacy and personal growth. When I read this, I immediately thought of Jesus.
He was proactive when it came to community. He poured His life into a faithful
band of followers and developed an intimate circle of 12 men. And through those
men, He established the church. The early church was all about community,
intimacy and personal growth.
- Happy people don't judge themselves by what others do or have. That is, they
don't compare themselves with others. The Bible is clear that we are not to
measure ourselves by the yardstick of others, only by the Word of God. As we
obey God's Word and choose to please Him, blessing and contentment
- Materialism is toxic for happiness. The parable of the rich young
ruler in Matthew bears this out. Despite this man's riches, he wanted something
more—eternal life. Jesus stressed the importance of keeping the commandments but
told him something more was required. He must sell his possessions and follow
Him. Sadly, the young man chose material possessions over Christ and walked away
feeling "sorrowful."
- Optimism is important, even in dark times. Because of Christ, hope abounds.
Jeremiah 32:17 proclaims, "'Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and
the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard
for You'" (NKJV). In the last chapter of Job, after Job suffers much and has
been tested, he cries out, "'I know that You can do everything, and that no
purpose of Yours can be withheld from You'" (Job 42:2). Over and over, we are
given biblical examples of people who refused to be downtrodden because of
circumstances or events. Their hope was in the Lord. The end result is rest and
- Actions matter. It's not just what you believe or your outlook on life that
contributes to happiness. People who give to others and aren't
self-absorbed are more satisfied with life. No surprise here. God gave
His only begotten Son, the ultimate sacrificial gift. Giving is a biblical
principle whether it involves finances, service, food, shelter, time or talent.
The result of giving is blessing.
- Happy people know their strengths and use them. We are stewards of God's
gifts and are to use them for His glory. When you move in those gifts and do
what God has equipped you to do, you are happy. Psychologists call this moving
in the "flow." People of faith "flow" in the Spirit.
- People who feel gratitude are happy. We are eternally grateful for Jesus and
His sacrifice and for all God has done in our lives. Out of that genuine
gratitude flows happiness.
- The strongest link to happiness is a willingness to forgive others. The benefits of forgiveness are well documented psychologically. And for the believer, forgiveness is not an option; it is a command from Jesus. We forgive others because He forgave us.
The search for happiness will fall short if it doesn't lead to the One in whom contentment can be found. Authentic happiness is unrelated to events, money, power, fame or anything else our culture associates it with. Happiness is a choice, as the Scriptures declare: "Happy are the people who are in such a state. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord" (Ps. 144:15).
This new year, make it a goal to choose happiness by following the guidelines above. Look to God for your satisfaction and learn to trust in His sovereignty and omniscience. Obey Him and believe that He works all things for your good. Remember, His joy is available to you, and it is that which gives you strength.

I am continuing my look at potential BCS busters from Conference USA, a league that would love nothing more than to get one of its teams into one of the marquee games. Southern Miss has had 17 straight winning seasons, a level of success unmatched by anyone in C-USA. But the Golden Eagles have not won a conference championship since 2003 and last played in the C-USA title game in 2006. This season could be an outstanding one for the Golden Eagles based on their excellent returning quarterback and a very manageable schedule.
Why they have a shot: Quarterback Austin Davis had his best year last season with 3,103 yards passing and 452 yards rushing, proving to be comfortable running the spread offense. He is on pace to set school career marks for passing yards and passing touchdowns. He should be even better headed into his senior year, especially with a nice compliment of running backs returning in Kendrick Hardy, Desmond Johnson and Tracy Lampley. Top receiver Kelvin Bolden also returns, along with Quentin Pierce. The schedule plays into the Golden Eagles' favor, with their toughest nonconference games at Virginia and home to Navy. Plus, they get UCF and SMU at home. The most difficult C-USA road game is at East Carolina.
Why they won't make it: Southern Miss has not quite been able to get back into the driver's seat in the East in three seasons under Larry Fedora. The offense has looked good, but the defense has sputtered at times with breakdowns in crucial situations. In four of its five losses last season, Southern Miss gave up 40-plus points. The Golden Eagles beat eventual league champion UCF last season, but lost three conference games by a combined eight points and finished in a tie for second. They will have a new defensive scheme this season under new coordinator Dan Disch -- the 4-2-5 that TCU and Boise State run. Fedora was pleased with the progress the defense showed this spring, but there are sometimes growing pains when learning a new system.

Comment Re:Quantum Entanglement Does Not Transmit Info (Score 1) 209
I underwent a similar struggle grasping quantum entanglement and came to the same conclusion (instantaneous communication is not possible via QE) years ago. However, recently I've been starting to explore this concept again and have found a new caveat. I can't seem to find a definitive answer that outright dismisses this caveat. Instead of simply measuring the entangled particles, does current theory forbid simply manipulating the spin, polarization, ETC? If two particles are entangled and I could simply change the spin on one, I've just sent information FTL.
I surmise that "manipulation" is equivalent to measurement and will yield same consequence (collapsing the wave function/destroying the entangled particle), but I haven't found a decisive "yes" to this question yet.
At any rate, QE has always fascinated me, regardless it's FTL communication shortcomings.
