Hoyer Remarks at The Atlantic's "Manufacturing's Next Chapter" Conference
Katie Grant, 202-225-3130
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) delivered remarks this morning at The Atlantic's "Manufacturing's Next Chaper" conference. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
"Good morning, and thank you for this opportunity to kick off what promises to be an interesting and informative day of discussions about the future of manufacturing in our country.
"For a long time, we watched as manufacturing jobs moved overseas. However, over the past few years, manufacturing – and especially advanced manufacturing – has seen strong gains that prove it has a bright future ahead in America.
"Manufacturing jobs have traditionally been high-wage, high-skilled positions that bring middle-class opportunities to those who fill them – which is why I have been leading an effort by House Democrats to help our manufacturing sector expand.
"Our plan, called 'Make It In America,' is focused on making our economy more competitive, and ensuring that businesses are able to expand here, create jobs here, and invest here. We introduced our Make It In America plan two years ago, and in the coming weeks we will be re-launching it in the 113th Congress with new proposals.
"The discussions here today may very well produce some of the new policy ideas for our Make It In America plan, and I will be very interested to see what emerges. The conversations you have over the course of the day will be important to understanding what businesses need to expand and create new jobs.
"I believe – and Democrats believe – that manufacturing has the potential to carry our economic recovery forward into long-term prosperity by creating opportunities that grow our middle class and improve Americans' quality of life. Congress has a responsibility to act to help our manufacturing sector grow, and that is what Make It In America is all about.
"Also of paramount importance to manufacturing is ending the uncertainty so many businesses are facing as a result of Congress's failure to address deficits in a big and balanced way. We must reduce this uncertainty by achieving a long-term deficit reduction solution that is balanced and can avert the sequester set to take place at the end of this month. Along with investing in our manufacturing competitiveness, Congress must act quickly to put America back on a responsible fiscal path.
"I hope whatever ideas emerge today will soon find their way up to Capitol Hill in the form of policy recommendations. Ultimately, 'manufacturing's next chapter' is intricately tied to America's next chapter – and whether we can extend the promise of the American dream for another generation. Thank you."

The Training Dilemma and How to Address It
Consider this five-step process for managing employee training.
Few people will openly argue against the benefits of training employees. After all, training is a proven way of increasing an employee's skills. Yet, when it comes to the actual process of training, there are many different points of view on how to proceed.
There is never a perfect time to train employees. One company might say it is too busy to free up the people who need to be trained. On the other hand, when the company is slow it might be concerned about absorbing the costs associated with training and choose to wait until business picks up. Even a company that is moderately busy can probably find an excuse to put off training. Some of the more creative excuses I have heard for delaying or avoiding training altogether are:
"Our employees are low skilled and would not understand the training."
"Our employees cannot speak, read or write English."
"We are good at learning on our own."
"We don't have any areas in the company to do training."
"If we train people and improve their skills, they will leave us and make more money somewhere else."
Yet, for every excuse I have heard for not proceeding with training, there are strong reasons for making a commitment and getting started, such as:
"Our employees are always grateful for the opportunity to learn new things."
"The training we do has a direct tie to gains in productivity."
"The more our workers understand something, the better their ideas are."
"The training takes time, but we have no choice if we are going to improve the company."
"The more our employees know, the greater their chances are to get ahead in our company."
So here is the training dilemma: How do we overcome the negative perceptions about training and begin to realize its benefits? The answer is to effectively plan and manage the training process. This can be done by following these steps:
1. Define the type of training to be done, and set realistic expectations. This is the most critical step because it will establish the foundation for all training that will take place. If the training is hands-on, such as machine operation, the expectation is that employees will become more skilled in machine operation. This can be measured both during the training and at its conclusion. If the training is classroom-based, and new concepts, processes or procedures will be learned, the expectation is that the learning will be applied to the business. In this case, training should lead to a measurable benefit such as cost reduction (or containment), quality improvement, improved customer service levels or some other metric important to the company. Clearly, expectations shape outcomes. If there are no expectations of how the training will help, that training should not be done (at least not at this time).
2. Select the participants. If everyone cannot be trained at once, determine who would benefit most from the training and achieve expected results fastest. Early training success can motivate others to participate the next time the training is held. In addition, those who learn new skills are likely to champion further training and perhaps serve as training resources in the future.
3. Schedule the training. Training should be scheduled as far in advance as possible. Although things can happen that might force a postponement, there is a greater likelihood that the training will take place as scheduled if sufficient notice is given to participants, their coworkers and their bosses. Just as companies schedule employee vacations in advance, they should also schedule training to ensure work still gets done.
4. Record the training that has been completed. Most companies have some type of document showing the type of training that was done, when it was completed and who participated. Such documentation can then be organized by department and by employee to provide a quick reference for company management.
5. Evaluate the training. Did the training meet the expectations initially developed (both short- and long-term)? Was there a pattern of feedback from the attendees (valuable), or just one-off comments offered (typically not so valuable)? Does the length of training, or how it was scheduled, need to be modified for future sessions? On the whole, are there opportunities to improve the training, and can those improvements be easily implemented?
Training is important, but planning and managing this training can be challenging. Consider the five-step process outlined above to help you get the most out of your training efforts.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A local animal rescue organization hosted a fundraiser in the Oakleaf community Sunday afternoon to raise donations for their pets.
Vendors, dogs, and their owners showed up to support Ayla's Acres, a no-kill animal rescue organization based out of Greenville, Florida in Madison County. Money was raised through a silent auction.
The dogs went on a mile and a half trek through the neighborhood with their owners and ate in the surrounding area.
Fran Charlson, the executive director of Ayla's Acres, wants to encourage people to spay and neuter their pets so less animals will have to be rescued.
"We really truly are a 'no kill' facility. We do not euthanize animals unless they are suffering, and typically they're very old by that time. We have a number of them that die from old age…" said Charlson.
The non-profit has more than 250 pets spread across an animal sanctuary. More than $800 are spent on dog food per week. Many of the dogs on the property are unadoptable and come from abusive homes, but applications can be sent in for the adoptable animals.
Ayla's Acres does extensive background checks to make sure the animals go to the right home.
Ayla's Acres will host their next event on March 10 in Palencia. To donate, visit aylasacres.org.

Another massively important aspect of the game is opening the vast array of collectibles. This game is a veritable toy box of your favorite Lucas characters, treasure chests, artifacts, secret additional content, and a bevy of side quests. There are more than 60 unlockable characters to find or purchase, and you can even create unique characters like you did in the Star Wars saga by mixing and matching the LEGO characters' bodies and accessories.
All of these collectible elements and secrets make for a formula that equates to major replayability. As previously mentioned, many secrets, treasures, and characters can't be acquired on the first play through. It will actually take going back in Freeplay mode and using the abilities of newly unlocked characters in order to access the tunnels and seemingly impenetrable walls that hold the treasures. Moreover, collecting all the characters and unlocking all the content can almost feel like an obsession. You will likely find yourself bashing every mug, table, barrel, cart, and fence post while you greedily gobble up the LEGO gems that fall to the floor. Scavenging for gems is by no means essential. In fact, it slows each segment way down. However, it does allow you to purchase a bunch of unlockables and serves as the game's high-score function.
Finally, I was thoroughly impressed with the game's overall polish. The environments look great if not completely detailed; the new animations and facial expressions make the LEGO characters more lifelike; the textures are realistic looking; and the stability of the game means there isn't a hint of glitches to be found. Also, the music, sound effects, and voice work are great! Of course, the musical themes are taken right from the films. What I really liked was the way the various portions of the score were attached to appropriate segments of the game. They correspond to that of the movie, which lends a good deal of authenticity. The sound effects are exaggerated much like they are in the films. The familiar punch effects and the crack of Indy's whip help to further the notion that you're inside an Indiana Jones movie. Lastly, the voice over work, much like in the LEGO Star Wars games, is made up of a series of grunts and sighs that somehow perfectly express emotions, motivations, and key moments from the films.
If you're looking for an entirely new gameplay experience from the folks at LucasArts, then you won't find it in LEGO Indiana Jones. However, this is the most polished and enjoyable entry in the LEGO series of games. The great puzzles, platforming mechanics, array of collectibles, and quality presentation make this title an outstanding option for EVERYONE 10+!

As part of this year's Transmediale festival in Berlin, media artist Johannes P. Osterhoff organized an online collaborative performance of search engine queries, simply titled, "Google." For one week, Osterhof convinced myself and 36 other participants to add a unique search method to our default web browsers so that everything we "googled"—from the personal to the mundane—became instantly visible online at google-performance.org.
The performers, who are mostly artists or technologists or both, recorded 1,322 searches over seven days. Search queries were displayed chronologically with their sequence number, date and time, participant name, and search tool used. The text of the search and participant name were also hyperlinked, so searches can be explored by keyword or participant.
Many queries reflect content from the Transmediale conference. Others reveal users engaging in play, submitting insider messages or odd one-liners. Most searches are about business as usual, as evidenced by the high number of phrases referencing programming or technology. Reading through them, by time or participant or keyword, gives the impression of a conscious stream of thought. They are a random series of words and phrases that make irrational leaps from noun to verb to sentence, only occasionally creating a complete thought when a participant repeats parts of phrases in their quest for the intended outcome.
The queries are often poetic, like these from my own stream:
release serial ports
release serial ports arduino
chariot sidecar
pull down resistor
Others are strangely suggestive, like this snippit from Osterhof's searches:

Sometimes they are coincidental, like these which share the common keyword, "python:"

New analysis gives Romney a 53% chance to win while President Obama finds himself with a 44% chance to win. Meanwhile the newest analysis also shows that Ohio is do or die for the President while Wisconsin becomes a possible make or break state for Mitt Romney
White House 2012's newest analysis of data, polls, trends, and circumstances, nationally and on the ground in individual states, continues to project Mitt Romney the winner of the presidential election. While the closeness of the race in several states continues to make it impossible to say with absolute certainty that Romney will win the Electoral College vote, White House 2012's analysis does currently project that at the very least, Romney will receive 285 electoral votes. That is 15 more electors than he needs to defeat President Barack Obama who according to White House 2012's prediction will walk away from Election Day with 253 electoral votes.
The states that are too close for comfort and continue to be responsible for the uncertainty of the results in the Electoral College are, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Of these states, White House 2012 is currently projecting New Hampshire, Ohio, and Iowa to go to Mitt Romney, with President Obama taking Nevada and Wisconsin. All other states are solidly behind one or the other candidate. But the most dramatic conclusion gleamed from the information found in the analysis used to make this recent projection, is that if you consider Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Wisconsin to be tossups, President Obama is left with 237 electoral votes and Romney holds 257 electoral votes. This means that from among the remaining 5 tossup states the President has only three possible paths to victory. Romney on the other hand has 5 possible paths to victory.
Making matters worse for the President is that this latest WH12 analysis sees a sharp turning of the tables on him. Up till now, the narrative had been that Mitt Romney can't win without Ohio. This newest analysis shows just the opposite.
For President Obama, while he has three paths to victory… two less than Romney, each of one them requires that to win the election, the President must win Ohio.
For Mitt Romney, of the five routes to victory available to him, only one of them requires that he wins Ohio, and as seen in the graphic below, that path is the one which he needs only if he losses each of the other remaining tossup states.
Ultimately this means that the odds are now clearly in favor of Mitt Romney winning the election, hence the current White House 2012 electoral projection. Based upon the winning combinations available to Obama and Romney, the President has a 44% chance of winning and Mitt Romney has a 53% chance of winning. With less than two weeks to go before the election is held, this 9% upper hand held by Mitt Romney puts the Governor in a far better position than the President. That is especially true given the fact that the momentum continues to be behind the Romney-Ryan ticket, not the Obama-Biden ticket.
Ohio Is Do or Die for the President
White House 2012 adds 2.2% to Mitt Romney's final total in the Real Clear Politics average of polls. This is a figure intended to compensate for the use of 2008 turnout models that are being used in establishing current poll results. WH12's formulas believes these models are under-counting Republican turnout by as much as 2.2%, hence the 2.2% added to Romney's numbers that are ultimately figured in to White House 2012's analysis. Currently in Ohio, the Real Clear Politics average has President Obama ahead of Mitt Romney by 2.1%. According to the WH12 formula, that means Romney is a head by a mere .01%, far too close for comfort for either candidate. But the good news for Romney here is that the WH12 analyses now finds that whereas Ohio was once considered a must win for Romney, it is now just the opposite. President Obama is the one who now can't win reelection without Ohio.
Wisconsin could be make or break for Romney
While Romney now can easily win the White House without Ohio, if he doesn't take Ohio, Wisconsin becomes the state he really needs to ensure victory. Of the 5 paths to victory available to Mitt Romney, 3 include winning Wisconsin. Only two of the available paths do not require Badger State victory. So while the best way to ensure Romney of winning the election is by taking Ohio, if he can pull that off, a win in Wisconsin and either Iowa, New Hampshire, or Colorado will be enough to put Romney over the top. If Ohio is not in the picture for Romney without Wisconsin, Romney must run the table on Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada and win all three of them.
That is possible but it points to the fact that strategically, Mitt Romney should really drop Paul Ryan in Wisconsin and have him campaign in every town, of every county in the state and use his favorite son status to deliver Wisconsin and provide the cushion the Romney-Ryan tickets needs in the Electoral College.
3% Chance of a tie in the Electoral College
Having Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin as tossup states leaves us with numeric equations that provides a 3% chance of their being a tie in the Electoral College
If this Electoral College result were to come to fruition, although there is truly no guarantee, Mitt Romney would most likely win the election in the House of Representatives where according to the constitution, in the case of a tie in the Electoral College, the election for President would ultimately go. The House is largely expected to remain controlled by a majority of Republicans . However, the election for Vice President is held in the Senate where Democrats are control. At the moment, there is a good chance that Republicans can win at least a one seat majority in the Senate. If that is so, a republican controlled Senate will elect Paul Ryan Vice President. If Republicans fail to take control of the Senate, it is not likely but quite possible that Democrats will elect Joe Biden Vice President.
Potential for a Romney Landslide
While WH12's currently projects Romney to win 285 electoral votes, with the closenes of the race in the five tossups states spoken about in the analusis and the momentum that is behind Romney, White House 2012 is looking at the potential for Romney to pull off a landslide win in the Electoral College that will rival the size of Bill Clinton's lopsided total in the 1992 election. In that matchup, Clinton won 370 electoral votes to Bush's 168. At the moment, WH12 to sees evidence that Romney may be on his way to a final 302 electoral votes to the President's 236.
That includes a split in Maine's electoral vote where some polls show Romney winning the 2nd Congressional District. In Maine, Elecotrs are awarded by congressional districts, not on a statewide basis.
Furthermore; Wh12 sees the putside chance for Michigan to go to Romney. That would bring his total Electoral College count to 318.

Now playing in theaters is director Olivier Megaton's Taken 2. In the sequel, Liam Neeson's character unwisely takes his family on a European vacation, only to find himself and his wife (Famke Janssen) taken hostage by the family members of the henchmen that Neeson brutally murdered in the first film. The film also stars Maggie Grace and Rade Serbedzija. For more on the film, here's four clips and all our previous coverage.
Last week in New York City I participated in two interviews with Neeson. One was an exclusive video interview (which you can watch here), and the other was a roundtable interview with a number of other journalists. During the group interview Neeson talked about how the sequel came together, what it was like filming in Istanbul, the car stunts, how much of a backstory he has created for the character, what it's like being considered an action star, what props he's taken home from set, his thoughts on a Taken 3, and more. In addition, Neeson talked about working with Ricky Gervais on Life's Too Short, told a great behind the scenes story about making Batman Begins, and revealed that Christopher Nolan wouldn't tell him anything about The Dark Knight Rises. Hit the jump for more.
Question: I know you had a stunt double, but it looked like you or your stunt double had a lot more potential injuries, could you talk a little bit about just comparing the two in terms of where it ranks physically challenging.
LIAM NEESON: No injuries whatsoever. I do my own fights, I don't do my own stunts and there is a difference. My dear friend Mark Vanselow, my stunt double, does all the flying through glass, jumping buildings and stuff. But, I do my own fighting. That's my claim to fame.
What is the technique that you're using there, is it a combination?
NEESON: It's a combination of stuff, yeah, of techniques our stunt coordinator Alain Figlarz is an ex-French Special Forces soldier, so it's a kind of close hand to hand combat stuff.
Do you do martial arts?
NEESON: No.
Was it easier going into that stuff- because taken was sort of one of your first forays into the action hero sort of mold that you've done a couple times since then, coming back for Taken 2 was it a lot easier to get in the swing of that sort of stuff?
NEESON: Yeah, I mean I keep pretty fit as a rule, and my sport as a kid was boxing so I've got a reasonably strong physical discipline when it comes to that sort of stuff. But obviously with these sorts of films, you know, every night after we wrapped we were training with these amazing stunt guys – Mark and Alain, and you're basically learning a dance, you know? You start off very, very slow, "I'm throwing this punch, you're throwing this." It literally starts off at that speed. And maybe the day before we actually shoot the thing, we actually do it blindfolded with each other so that by the time we get on the floor it's just like, breathing you know? That's what we aim for.
It looks pretty good.
NEESON: Thanks.
You said you were good at boxing, how were you at geometry, as a kid?
NEESON: Geometry?
NEESON: That's an interesting question. I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.
Because you employ some interesting mathematic techniques…
NEESON: Oh, I see what you mean. You brought me straight back to school there. But, no, they're based on stuff these guys learn. Obviously because it's a dramatic movie, an entertainment movie its somewhat heightened, those techniques, but they are actually based on stuff that they do with these Special Forces, you know? They take them out somewhere blindfolded and say, "Okay, be back in two hours, you've got two hours to find your way back."
So they do the things you show.
NEESON: Yes.
I heard this sound here, and count it out.
NEESON: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they do stuff like that. I know it sounds crazy, doesn't it? It's like when I first read the script it thought "Oh, come on." You know?
Well this script is actually much more revelatory about what his skills are, other than kicking ass, than the first film. You get to see this other, sort of subset of things. Who do you think this guy really is? Have you created a back story for him?
NEESON: Well, there's a gentleman I worked with a few years ago who is a special operatives soldier, and he works for various governments and he's a pal. I see him for a week and then he disappears, and I'll see him in three weeks time and he's got a bullet wound in his side or something in his solder. And he's been jettisoned into Afghanistan or Pakistan for four days to do some mission, and then he comes back out again. He doesn't tell me details, obviously because its secret stuff that he's doing, you know? But he's quite an extraordinary- and if he walked in to this room right now, you wouldn't notice him; do you know what I mean? He's just a regular guy, but he has this particular set of skills. And he's been using them in various countries for years for various governments. And he walks through airports with suitcases full of hardware and he shows a card and he's carte blanche. It's amazing.
Could you see this being a series?
NEESON: I don't think so; I think this is the end. I mean how many times can she be taken? I mean, it's bad parenthood, really, after that.
What about television? Maybe it's a different person, you're a hired gun.
NEESON: I don't think so, there's enough of those shows aren't there?
It's nice to see Famke [Janssen] and Maggie [Grace] get a lot more screen time.
NEESON: Great, yeah, yeah. Especially Famke because she was very concerned, in the first on you know she's quite a cold, gorgeous presence; but, not very emotionally involved. Well, she is of course when she finds out her daughters been kidnapped. But, no it was lovely to bring her, to show her more vulnerable side, her more needy side, you know?
You're not really prone to sequels or franchises, what was it about this project that made you want to come back for another round?
NEESON: Well, I didn't think there was- well, I loved the first film I thought it was a really compact, tight little European thriller you know, a great beginning, fantastic middle, and a very pleasurable end. And when Luc Besson approached me a few years ago I thought, "come on Luc, you can't. What? What can you do?" and he said, "Leave it with us, were thinking of something." So a couple years ago I think they had me the script. They set it in Istanbul and I thought, ok that's certainly one city I would love to see. And I believe they came up with a story line and I thought, "well maybe this will work" This basically, you know, to start a movie with, you know- my character kills 27 of these Albanians in the first one, all these "bad guys", but these guys are human beings who have families and uncles and fathers. So it was great to start a movie with a burial and the wonderful Rade [Serbedzija], a Croatian actor, with this dirt, this grieving father whose son died horribly at my hands, pledging revenge is a wonderful kickoff to a movie, you know?
What surprised you the most about working in Istanbul? Either the under the circumstances of working there or also seeing some of the sights in your free time.
NEESON: Well, its- I've read so much about Constantinople as it used to be from when I was doing Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, you know? Because it is the gateway from the west to the east and there's so many generations of conquests. And you see it in the streets there, you see foundation stones that were laid by, not just the Romans, the Romans were only 2000 years ago, but generations thousands of years ago, you know? So it such a rich incredible historical culture, and you feel it. And I think it adds something to our film, it just gives it a texture. All those car scenes we were doing, those car chases and stuff, you know, yes we had a police presence, but the shopkeepers, merchants on these tiny, narrow streets said, "No, no, no; you shoot your film, but we're keeping our shops open." So you'd have customers crossing streets all the time, they weren't extras, and we're barreling up these streets in Mercedes Benz's at reckless speeds.
Portobello Road in London wouldn't exactly have the same kind of feel to it.
NEESON: I know what you mean, yeah. But they were wonderful, they weren't- they were very happy we were shooting on their streets, but "were keeping our shops open." You know?
You've basically become an action star since Taken, are you a little bit surprised at the success you've had in action, or are you thoroughly enjoying playing these tough characters?
NEESON: Oh sure, yeah, it's terrific. I mean we were all really surprised by the success of Taken, you know? I just came back from South Korea where the film, the first one did amazing. I felt like one of the Beatles to be honest with you. And they were all kids, these sixteen, twenty year old kids boys and girls, going crazy, they couldn't wait to see this Taken 2, you know? Sorry, anyways, Fox – I remember after South Korea on the first one I remember one of my nephews in Ireland called me up saying, "Uh, I saw your movie" I said "Which one?" he said "Uh, Taken" I said "It hasn't come out yet, its only come out in France and South Korea." "Oh, well, you know we can download it." I thought oh fuck, that's the end of that then, the movies done, you know? But then Fox took it in this country, and did a brilliant PR job, really brilliant.
It was number one for weeks.
NEESON: It was stranger it was number one, then it slipped to number two, then it slipped to number three, then it went back to number two again, it was hovering all over the place for a while. It just got good word of mouth I guess, and obviously Fox put all this spade work in.
It's also one of those films, say it's on TV; you're going to stop, if you're not going to watch the whole thing you're going to watch a few minutes of it. I've seen it any number of times, my family loves it, it's just, there's something about that-
NEESON: Yeah, I know. I do love the compactness of it. I've checked it myself a couple times, and I find myself suddenly half an hour later and I'm into it, you know what I mean?
There's something I want to ask you about and I would love to see this developed into a film, which is the persona that you do with Ricky Gervais, of dead absolute seriousness because that thing is hilarious-
NEESON: Oh, the Ricky Gervais thing.
Yeah, which is to do a comedy based around you being as somber and dead faced as possible.
NEESON: I'm trying to be a comedian, you know?
Yeah, do you think there's anything there?
NEESON: Oh, I don't know, unless Ricky and Steven wrote something. But that was, it was fund doing that stuff with those guys. And I am a terrible corpser- if you don't know what corpsing means, it means that you laugh a lot, you know? But when we were shooting this thing they were laughing more than I was which gave me confidence, you know? And actually, the more serious you are, the funnier it is.
With the dialogue they gave you for that was there any second guessing for you, like "I don't know if I should be saying this." Or were you like "I'm along for the ride."
NEESON: Oh totally, I didn't change one semicolon in that script. That was all their writing.
Just out of curiosity, back when you were doing interviews for The Grey and people would ask you what this movie was about, you said you couldn't talk about it. Can you comment on how secretive this screenplay was for you compared to other movies that you've done? I mean, the lengths that you hear some actors and filmmakers have to go to; Christopher Nolan for instance is well known for shrouding his movies in secrecy. And also I don't know if you've seen the trailers and how the movie is marketed, if you want to comment about how much is given away.
NEESON: It's just to satisfy the fans, you know? You know yourselves, there's so much publicity now with movies. With trailers, and you think, well I've seen the whole movie now, you know? I mean, Chris Nolan takes it to another extreme, like; I didn't know I was in the movie. I went and shot a scene for two hours with Christian [Bale], and it was a set, and Christian was tied up and I said, "Chris, what am I doing?" "Well, just walk forward and say the lines, and walk back, and that'll be it really." "What the fuck's- tell me the story." "Um, well, I'd prefer not to, actually." Ok don't mind me I'm just an actor. They take it to another extreme, you know?
So this wasn't so bad, then?
NEESON: This wasn't so bad.
There were no decoy scripts or anything? Because you hear about stuff like that.
NEESON: No, no, no. There were no decoy scripts, no.
We've been asking people to give us their porn name, that's where you take the first pet you ever had, and that's the first name, and the second name is the street you grew up on. So given that criteria what would your porn name be?
NEESON: My porn name…I have to think about – oh actually I do, yeah, first pet, Rory… Gardens.
NEESON: That's a good one isn't it?
What do you think of your prospects with that name?
NEESON: Rory Gardens.
You fought Batman, aliens; you name it- which was the most fun for you as far as the fighting scenes?
NEESON: I think that Batman Begins – I mean you know the light saber stuff in Star Wars was fun, it was a bit of a sort of classic sword fighting you know? I love the fight I had with Christian in Batman Begins because we were actually on this glacier, this real glacier in Iceland. And we had these glacier wranglers, believe it or not, so when we were fighting with a reduced crew the glacier wrangler would say, "Ok, everybody off." So we would all stand at the side, and this beautiful big blue glacier and this ice, you'd hear this sound of nature just moving as this thing moved maybe a quarter of an inch, and the Ice…and then it all stopped, and the guy would be like, "Ok, you can go on again." And Christian and I were like, what are we doing here?
Do you mind talking about the car stunts, it seems like the lesson of this movie is if you have a daughter, teach her to drive a shift; but, filming those scenes, that must be very exacting too?
NEESON: Yeah, I get dizzy for a start. That's my way of introducing the fact I hate roller coaster rides. My kids have begged me over the years when were at roller coaster rides, "Dad, please come with me on this." Of course as a father you think, "of course I will, son." No. "I love you to death, but there's no way I'm getting on that fucking ride." I didn't curse, but… so, to answer your question, they have this things, they're are called top-riders I think, whereby you have these amazing French drivers who's sitting on the roof of the car with a steering mechanism, he's actually driving the car. So you're in driving, or in this case, Maggie was driving. And there's no CGI, you're barreling up these streets, but it's this amazing stunt driver on the roof of the car who's actually doing all the work. It's terrifying.
What's next for you?
NEESON: I'm going to do a Paul Haggis film next month, just for a week, and then I start a Joel Silver thriller up until Christmas, and then after Christmas I go back to the Paul Haggis film for the final two weeks.
How often do you get to Ireland?
NEESON: Where?
NEESON: Oh, yeah, yeah; that place. Once a year, twice a year or so I go back, See my family. My mom and my sisters still live there.
Can you tell us what your favorite movie is and why?
NEESON: My favorite movie? Hmmm, well there's two actually. There's one I was talking about last night with a friend of mine; Once Upon a Time in America.
Sergio Leone.
NEESON: Yeah, and Ben Hur with Charlton Heston.
Those are both epic movies, what do you like about them?
NEESON: I just remember the gut feeling of watching them up on the big cinemascope screen, I guess it was. In Ben Hur, that chariot race, it still holds up, it's so unbelievably exciting.
Yeah, you kind of mimicked that in Phantom Menace with the pod-racing scenes.
NEESON: Oh, I guess, yeah, yeah that's true actually. That was a chariot race wasn't it? All CGI, but not in 1959 when they did that chariot race; wow.
I'm curious what props you've taken home from set along the years.
NEESON: There's quite a few swords and stuff, from Ridley's film, he gave me a beautiful sword I had, and Gangs of New York, I've got that sword, and Rob Roy, I've got a sword. I've got a few of those.
So it's all about the swords?
NEESON: Yeah, bits of armor and stuff like that.
Now, does a lightsaber count as a sword?
NEESON: Oh, I have a lightsaber too actually, yeah.
One of the ones from the film?
NEESON: The one I actually used, yeah, George allowed me to have it.
Do you have the sword from the end of Rob Roy?
NEESON: Yes. Yeah, yeah I've got that sword. Why, do you want to buy it?
Taken 2 is now in theaters.

Collin Raye Showcases Sacred Songs on New Album
Country singer turns hearts to Christ with His Love Remains.
The sacred sneaks up on us everywhere. It happened to me, when a recent, seemingly routine, political stop bowled me over with a reminder of what an undeserved honor it is to be able to live as a Christian in the world today. (And what a critical responsibility it is to actually do that: to pray to be who we say we are.)
My surprise came at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Another day, another conference. I have been there more times than I could try to document at this point over the years. It's where Mitt Romney dropped out last time around. It's where controversies have been born and flames have been fanned. Here we were again. The aforementioned Romney was there, as were Rick Perry and Rick Santorum: most of the current Republican contenders for their party's presidential nomination. And, as it happened, this time I was stuck working on a Friday night after a long week. But this night, it was sacramental.
The press was focused on Perry vs. Romney (I stand before you guilty): on the recent comments of a preacher who was talking theology out of Sunday school at best, bigotry at worst. But a country-music star turned my head. To Christ.
With talent comes responsibility, as the parable teaches us. And Collin Raye, known best for his string of No. 1 country hits in the '90s, appears to be taking it seriously.
On his new album, His Love Remains, he debuts an original song, Undefeated, that he co-wrote with his daughter, Brittany Bell:
You fill my cup when I'm used up and poured out,
So depleted.
You are my light; you make things right.
So I stand undefeated, undefeated.
I know I so often doubt you,
But you don't turn away when I'm about to.
My anger builds within and crowds me out.
You let go with mercy I can't live without.
When war comes 'round, you stand my ground.
As I fall, so mistreated,
You heal these wounds.
Unseal my tomb,
And I rise undefeated.
I didn't expect to be thinking "Eucharistic feast" and "Resurrection" at the Omni Shoreham that night, but there I was.
And isn't that where our minds and hearts and souls should always be? Resting in the One who would give himself to us every day, if we'd receive him?
Raye was 23 when he converted to Catholicism. He was born into a Southern Baptist family in Arkansas and raised in Georgia; he recalls he wanted "more" and found it when he went to Mass with a couple who would come to his gigs. He asked them if he could join them after seeing a crucifix on the woman's necklace.
You can't help but think God was giving him exactly what he would need (and I'm not dissuaded from the impression, listening to his new song I Get What I Need, which is, again, about faith). In 1985, complications from a premature delivery of their son, Jacob, put his wife, Connie, in a coma for seven months. She would recover, even live to be the grandmother of Haley Marie Bell, who died in April 2010 at the age of 9 after a lifelong struggle with an undiagnosed neurological disorder.
Undefeated is the story of how he survived losing that dear girl, Brittany's daughter. Faith in Christ saw and sees him through. He talked about Haley in his 2008 song She's With Me, which starts out bragging a little about how blessed he is to be seen with her, even as others don't understand, seeing only a burden. He'd love for others to understand, so they, too, would treasure such gifts, rather than seek to eliminate them:
I know just what heaven looks like when I see that perfect face,
For no other mortal heart could be so fair.
I, myself, so weak and weary, so imperfect as a man.
How could I be the one you chose to care for our girl?
Never done a single deed to earn the right to share her light.
Though it's such a painful road we walk each day, Lord, you have your ways, this I pray.
It's his hope that God, in his mercy, will let him see her again. And maybe she can put in a good word. He sings that prayer: "On the day I stand before you, she'll stand right by my side. When you look upon me, head hung down in shame, I'll feel the blame; she'll look at me. And then she'll speak, in that precious voice: 'Don't worry 'bout him, my Lord, 'cause, you see, he's with me.'"
With a picture of his granddaughter and rosary beads lying on top of the lyrics from another song from the CD, How Beautiful, Raye dedicates His Love Remains to Haley, "who now resides with the Holy Trinity."
"I can't wait to be with you again," he writes to her. "For all eternity! Please tell the Lord that I hope this piece of work pleases him."
On the album, Raye also sings familiar hymns and faith-filled songs, including Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art. He sings too: "O sacrament most holy, O sacrament divine. All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine."
Listen to his album, and you can't help responding with an "Amen," perhaps, or a "Here I Am, Lord," as you get yourself to the nearest sacrament. Even after a long week wrapping up at a political convention.

Much of Scotland has been basking in the glorious sunshine and soaring temperatures this weekend.
Feeling more like summer than spring, UK temperatures surpassed Mediterranean temperatures, out-scorching Barcelona and Mallorca.
After a foggy Saturday in Edinburgh, Sunday had sun worshippers out in force around the capital's parks basking in the unseasonal heat wave. The warm spell is set to see temperatures peak today before slowly dropping toward the end of the week.
The Met Office recorded the highest temperature, 22.8ºC, at Fyvie castle in Aberdeenshire, a new record temperature for Scotland in March. They have, however, forecast that this sunny spell will be short-lived with figures back down to the seasonal average by next week.
A research paper published by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany warns that these weather extremes could be down to human-caused global warming. Lead author of the research paper Dim Coumou says, "The question is whether these weather extremes are coincidental or a result of climate change. Global warming can generally not be proven to cause individual extreme events – but in the sum of events the link to climate change becomes clear."
The threat of global warming will do little to dampen spirits as the early spate of summer sun is expected to have people out in their droves in Edinburgh and around the UK today.

The Wolfman seems to have made a habit out of celebrating home victories with a trip to a New Orleans dive bar. After his Saints beat the Cowboys last night, Ryan was once again spotted in Ms. Mae's, buying rounds for everyone in the house.
Look, even that Cowboys fan is smiling. This is just further proof that you can't help but have a good time whenever a Ryan brother is around.
Update: The NOLA Defender sends along video of Rob Ryan partying in Ms. Mae's. It looks like everyone is having a very nice time:

What you need to know before you go
Germany encapsulates Europe like few other countries – it's a place where cutting-edge modernity meets a rich history. The large cities of Germany, such as Berlin and Munich, have retained their bold cultural and artistic heritage and make excellent city breaks. Plus, the famed German nightlife is among the best you can find in Europe. For a change of pace, head to the countryside to see fairy tale castles in Saxony, quaint half-timber houses in the Black Forest or get cosy in the welcoming chalets found up in the Alps. Thanks to the nation's stereotypical efficiency and technological prowess, getting around Germany is a breeze.
Germans are typically a fun bunch who love a bit of a party. Throughout the year, look out for seasonal celebrations like mid-summer music festivals, Christmas markets, and, of course, the month-long celebration of Oktoberfest in Bavaria, when beer halls are packed to the brim and German folk culture is celebrated.
Berlin bowls over visitors with its trailblazing arts scene, edgy street fashion and alluringly carefree vibe. Its nightlife is the envy of the world, with all manner of thumping techno clubs, bohemian bars and raucous live music venues to explore. The city isn't all about free-wheeling hedonism, though.
With cutting-edge galleries, hip independent cinemas and sobering historical museums like the Topography of Terror, it's also one of Europe's undisputed cultural capitals. Foodies can feast on hearty German staples like braised pork knuckle, or venture off the beaten track with vegan haute cuisine or riverside street food.阅读更多内容

Few people really listen. Sure they may hear the words, comprehend the message, but do they really listen to the meaning behind the words. Every spoken word comes with an emotional context in which it was derived. We may say, "I'm bored," but really our body language says, 'I don't like this.' Given this example, most people will surely understand that the speaker has nothing to do, but do they also understand that he/she is discontented?
Do You Connect Better With Animals Than People?
For many people, being around animals is simply easier than being around people. No shortage of sentiments are written about the fact that animals do not judge, criticize, or reject us. And yet, do we ever stop to consider, is the ease with which we connect with animals in any way distracting us from the very things that might be preventing connection in human relationships.
Want To Get Out Of Survival Mode? Try Equine Therapy
A major feature of PTSD, or any anxiety disorder for that matter, is a state of constant hypervigilance. In a word, people who struggle with very high anxiety can be said to be, for the most part, regularly in survival mode.
The Mythology of Equine Archetypes
While much has been written about human archetypes, and mythology in general, little has been authored about the role that horses play not only in myths, but also in our own understanding of archetypes, and of ourselves. However, there are two important publications that do pertain to this subject.
Equine Therapy: Can Working With Horses Reduce Suicide Risk?
In 2008, at the East Mountain Youth Lodge, Dr. JoAnn Jarolmen, a social worker, conducted a pilot study on equine therapy for troubled youth. She studied 13 teenagers who took part in a program called HorseTime, founded by Kathy Krupa, an Equine Growth and Learning association certified instructor, and found that, after working with the horses, the teenagers were less angry and aggressive, improved their relationships with their parents and peers and had fewer suicidal tendencies.
Of Women and Horses — Where is the Data?
Much has been written about the connection between women and horses, and for some time, it has certainly mystified us. While people can be attracted to a great many things in life, the relationship women and horses share is not only better represented than many other things women may do (perhaps the sad exception is dieting), it also holds a symbolism in the possibility of a curative force amongst us. Historically, we have always searched for something to relive suffering, eradicate pain, provide spiritual ecstasy in one form or another.
Why Equine Therapy Might Just Help Your Marriage
As a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist I see a multitude of couples in crisis. As John Gottman, renowned marriage researcher notes, "The time between when a couple first notices trouble in their marriage and the time they seek professional help is six years." Clearly what this tells us is that when couples finally make to the office, things have been bad for a long time. Insults have already been slung, defenses have solidified, criticisms have been stockpiled, walls have been built, and contempt may have even settled in. For those of you familiar with John Gottman's work, you will recognize what Gottman dubs "The Four Horseman of the Apocolypse," otherwise known as the four telling factors that characterize a marriage that is headed toward failure.
Clydesdale Superbowl Commercial First Place in USA Todays's Ad Meter
There is no denying that the bond between a man and a horse evokes a powerful emotion for people, but Budweiser's recent Superbowl Commercial really hit a home run.
Can Horses Help Your Internet Addicted Teenager?
A recent article in Reuters reported that in South Korea, internet addiction is a huge problem. In fact, 1 in 10 children are now internet addicts. And even after a government ban designed to address the problem, internet addiction continued to escalate as children simply learned to use their parents passwords to circumvent the law. So when a young South Korean teenager's parents were given the suggestion to try equine therapy to combat her addiction to the internet, being at their wit's end, they eagerly gave it a try.
Can Equine Therapy With Teens Reduce Incidences of Adult Obesity?
While there are many factors that contribute to obesity, and certainly, it would seem presumptuous to pin obesity on any one factor, as of late there has been some fascinating research that sheds needed light on obesity and, more importantly, the development of it.

When Walmart comes to town, opponents often fret that the big box store could lower local wages, put smaller competitors out of business and depress home values.
But new research suggests new Walmart stores may actually drive nearby home prices higher.
In their research, economists Devin Pope at the University of Chicago and Jaren Pope at Brigham Young University studied more than 600,000 housing transactions near 159 new Walmart stores. Homes located within a half mile of a new store saw their prices rise between 2% to 3%, or an average of $7,000, in the two and a half years after a new Walmart store was built.
Homes that were between a half mile and one mile away, saw an increase of 1% to 2%, or roughly $4,000. Any farther away and the increases were statistically insignificant, the report said.
The study looks at the years between 2001 and 2006, a time when most home prices were still rising. But regardless of the nationwide trend, the research revealed a positive correlation between Walmarts and home prices, relative to areas not located close to a Walmart.

"It was not until after the announcement and during the building process that we see homes close to the Walmart start to increase in value relative to homes that are slightly further away," the authors said. "This suggests that it was the building of the Walmart itself that caused the change in housing values that we find, and that our results are not simply explained by Walmart building in areas that are experiencing housing price increases."
Of course, the report has several caveats. The study found that Walmarts increase home values on average, but it is possible that in specific cases, a new store may do just the opposite. The report also didn't include rural areas where housing data was unavailable.
Over the years, Walmart has become a hot topic for economic research, and it seems for every positive finding about the retail giant, there's a negative study to counteract it.
Some studies show for example, that Walmart's low prices often raise the household wealth of poor, and particularly, minority families considerably. Other studies show that new Walmart stores lower average wages and reduce the number of retail jobs in an area.

You may already know that Medicare is a medical insurance program for people who are 65 or older and for people who are disabled at any age. Some people are covered only by one type of Medicare; others opt to pay extra for more coverage. Understanding Medicare can save you money.
If you????????re eligible for and want to be covered by Medicare Part B medical insurance, now is the time to sign up. The general enrollment period for Medicare Part B runs from January 1 through March 31. Before you make a decision about general enrollment, here is some useful information.
There are four parts to Medicare: Parts A, B, C and D. Part A helps pay for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing care, hospice care, and other services. Part B helps pay for doctors' fees, outpatient hospital visits, and other medical services and supplies not covered by Part A. Part C allows you to choose to receive all of your health care services through a managed health care organization. These plans, known as Medicare Advantage Plans, may help lower your costs of receiving medical services, or you may get extra benefits for an additional monthly fee. You must have both Parts A and B to enroll in Part C. And Part D is the Medicare Prescription Drug Program.
There is a monthly premium for Medicare Part B. In 2013, the standard premium is $104.90. Some high-income individuals pay more than the standard premium. Your Part B premium also can be higher if you do not enroll during your initial enrollment period, or when you first become eligible.
There are exceptions to this rule. For example, you can delay your Medicare Part B enrollment without having to pay higher premiums if you are covered under a group health plan based on your own current employment or the current employment of any family member. If this situation applies to you, you have a ??????special enrollment period?????? in which to sign up for Medicare Part B, without paying the premium surcharge for late enrollment. This rule allows you to:
??????? Enroll in Medicare Part B at any time while you are covered under a group health plan based on your own current employment or the current employment of any family member; or
??????? Enroll in Medicare Part B during the eight month period that begins following the last month your group health coverage ends, or following the month employment ends, whichever comes first.
If you receive disability benefits and have coverage from a working family member, the same rules apply.
If you live in one of the 50 states or Washington D.C. and you????????re already receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits or railroad retirement payments, you will be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B automatically. However, because you must pay a premium for Part B coverage, you have the option of turning it down.
If you don????????t enroll in Medicare Part B when you first become eligible to apply and you don????????t fall under the special enrollment period, you'll have to wait until the general enrollment period, which is January 1 through March 31 of each year. At that time, you may have to pay a higher Medicare Part B premium.

UnNews:BREAKING NEWS:Nerd Rebels destroy the DvDeath Star
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
6 May 2007
The Interspace galaxy, digg rebel base on the Blogshperius moons-- a report is coming in that Rebels have been able to successfully destroy the Galactic Corporate Empire's DRM Superweapon.
Rebel Alliance Leader, Kevin Rose, made the famous quote before deploying into battle "If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying". After Kevin Rose's top adviser and commander of all Rebel land forces High General Jay Adelson hesitation to destroy the DRM super weapon with fears of revealing the secret rebel base and instead wanted to remain concealed from the Most Evil Empire of Freedom. Rebels were able to successfully destroy the DvDeath Star using an secret command code that allowed them to make the DRM super weapon defenseless. Here is an exclusive report of the events leading up to the destruction of the DvDeath Star
Darth Ted searches the galaxy for the stolen codes[edit]
A small Rogue-Nerd Hacker Corvette, with rebel leader Kevin Rose on board, was attacked by Darth Ted's ship,The Proskauer Rose. The Proskauer Rose crew boarded the ship and began questioning the crew. What they were looking for: A small encrypted key that would disable the DRM's defense. This key would be able to, not only save the rebellion from destruction and thousands of years of tyranny, but also save millions of people their privacy.
Kevin Rose[edit]
Using a escape pod two droids landed on the surface of BiToorenti. They eventually met a hacker named muslix64. He, with the help of the Droids, was able to extract the message hidden on the droids-mainframe and decrypt the Secret file (which was protected with Windows XP SP2). Once muslix64 learned of the message they were able to discover the vulnerability of the DvDeath Star. muslix64 was able to rescue Kevin Rose and escape from the imprisonment of Darth Ted
. They then headed to the rebel base.
Destruction of DvDeath[edit]
After rescuing Kevin Rose form the DvDeath Star they headed to the Rebel Base, although they knew that they were being tracked. Kevin Rose ordered the rebels to risk everything in order to destroy the DvDeath Star. After losing most of the rebel troops, muslix64 was able to destroy the DvDeath Star and win the rebellion, it's first major victory against the Internet Empire.
Darth Ted, one of the few survivors of the attack, later commented on the defeat "We will continue to fight the rebellion until it is no more. No matter what the cost! We'll just pass the cost onto the consumers anyway, Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"
Kevin Rose responded "Long live the Nerd rebel democracy! w00t!!!1!"

We Try Boylan's Mash Soft Drinks
The word "mash" usually puts your typical professional beverage critic in mind of a fine bourbon whiskey, but that's not what the folks at Boylan Bottling Company had in mind when they introduced their new line of sodas—excuse me, "low calorie water drinks", if you please.
Initially introduced to consumers in Australia, who know a low calorie water when they drink one, Mash has made its way to the U.S., and since Boylan is one of the more reliable companies competing for our soft drink dollar, we gave all the flavors we could find a try.
Eschewing the standard glass bottle experience, Mash comes in an attractively squat, fat, short plastic container that recalls kiddie juice jugs, but with a deceptively large 20-ounce capacity. (Mash's price point is pretty high, but the jumbo serving helps make it more palatable.)
Fructose and a soupćon of sucralose gives Mash its subtle sweetness, never overwhelming or heavy—though the 40-calories-per-serving claim is a tad deceptive, as there's almost three servings in each bottle. The drinks are also very lightly carbonated ("water drink" is probably vastly underselling it, but its fizz is pleasantly unobtrusive), which generally works in its favor. Flavorings are mostly juice concentrate; it's probably too generous to call it a healthful beverage, but it's close enough if you're on a steady diet of sugar sodas.
We began our taste test with the Lemon Peel Ginger Root flavor. It had a nice gingery scent, but the flavor was subtle nearly to the vanishing point. If you're looking for a strong gingery kick, you've come to the wrong place, though the lemon jumps in nicely at the finish. As mash-ups go, this one was more like a live band segueing from one song to another; a nice change of key, but that's about it.
The Grapefruit Citrus Zing on the other hand, was a full-blown blast from the crossfader, far and away the best-tasting of the Mash varieties we sampled. It's a bit unclear what the citrus element was meant to be (maybe the legendary zing fruit, native to Australia), but the grapefruit flavor positively jumped off the palate; unlike so many other sodas that try, through various combinations of artificial flavorings and extracts, to emulate the grapefruit experience, this tasted more like the juice of a fresh fruit than anything this side of a nutritious breakfast. Barely sweet and just tart enough, it was delicious and light, delivering on the line's promise more than any other flavor.
Ripe Mango Blood Orange couldn't help but pale by comparison (and how do we know they were ripe mangoes, eh, Boylan?), but it was still pretty solid. The mango flavor was distinct but not overwhelming, and the orange kicked in right away, adding some complexity and depth to the taste. It's curious that Mash didn't go for a deeper orange or red color on this one, but "blood orange" may just be a marketing gimmick, especially given the complete lack of oranges in the ingredients list. But in terms of pure taste, this one was a not-too-distance second, and left Mash with a strong 2-for-3 record, not too shabby considering the ambitiousness of the flavor blends.
Whether or not it counts as a new paradigm is up for debate, but as a solid entry in the sparkling fruit drink genre, we think Mash is a keeper.

Whom should I contact in my state if I have a question about assistive technology?
Each state has a state Assistive Technology Act (AT Act) Center. These centers have been funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) as part of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998. To locate an AT Act Center in your state, consult the State Tech ACT Projects.
The Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP) includes most of the projects, but membership is voluntary. The mission of ATAP is "to set the national direction and advocate for AT Act programs. ATAP will promote and support quality performance of the State AT programs."
Another resource is The Alliance for Technology Access (ATA). ATA is a network of community-based resource centers, product developers and distributors, and associations devoted to providing information and support services to people with disabilities and increasing the awareness and use of assistive technology.

I want to use my own MD-Simulation C code with Open CL and for that purpose I have a few question.
The numbers of particles I want to use is 4096, so my global work size would be 4096 (?) and each force calculation and integration for the movement can be a single work-item (?).
What is the goal of the Work_Group ? My GPU can handle only a certain number of work items with shared memory so I group my workitems to make it easier for my gpu to parallize ? Or do I not need this parameter in my example, but when I increase the numbers of particle it can become handy. In other words, can I fire up all 4096 calculation at once and will it be solved at once ? Furthermore, my data would be stored in a structur, so the "data dimension" is 1 ?
What is a reasonable Work_group size ?
Is there a list of the error codes available on the website, because I have a probleme with passing arguments to the kernel and I get the error number 38.
Is there a list available for the clGetDeviceInfo command which tells me what variable I need for a certain quantity (for example:CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES)
I hope someone can answere these questions to me, because I´m really excited about this new piece of technology.
As a remark, I found the simulation of stars by apple, but its to complicated for me to get all the answers to my question
best regards

I made a version of this recipe this morning. Since I didn't start them last night I decided to take the batter and whisk the apple butter to the liquid ingredients and make the french toast the tradition way on the stovetop. I made the recipe for my 2 y/o nephew and husband and they really liked the flavor with the apple butter. I did omit the almonds and used whole wheat bread.

Love the idea of making ahead for Christmas morning,.I split the bread and put in a tablespoon of softened cream cheese mixed wkth apple butter before pouring the liquid over to sit overnight. Nice idea to have something ready to go in the morning for overnight guests or Christmas morning when everyone is opening presents.

This was scrumptious, I've used my homemade Apple Pie Jam on top, and I've made it with my homemade Caramel Apple Butter both times it turned out wonderful with everyone raving! I also used real eggs. Thanks for a great recipe!
Dec 3, 2009
I wonder if it would still be good if I just made it on top of the stove like I usually do. It would still have the apple flavor. Sounds really really good.

Outfit Details:
Drew convertible army coat - c/o WiNK
puppy shirt (with a Miku lookalike) - Nifty Thrifty
It turns out that a getaway was exactly what I (and Bobby and Miku) needed. In true Keiko Lynn/pack rat fashion, I packed way more than I needed: sweaters galore, three different pairs of boots, enough socks for an octopus to wear for days. As it turned out, I wore this WiNK cotton canvas coat (which can be worn several ways), hat, and Hunter boots consistently. I actually didn't have weather-proof boots (I know, weird) until my friend and neighbor, Amy, sent these my way. I've always wanted a pair of Hunter boots, but the best thing about these is that they're collapsible. They fold up into a tiny bag and are perfect for traveling. The lesson I learned? Go with the utilitarian, versatile items and save yourself some space. Not that I'll listen to my own advice, though. I guess I'll always be that girl who is stuffing items into her carry-on, because her checked baggage is overweight.

Okay - slight update. I haven't had a lot of time for any HP fics over the past year or so since I'm locked away writing my own books. The first one is out to the publisher though, so I'm hoping to find a little time to devote to Harry and co.
Thank you to all my reviewers, I know I've neglected you, I'll try to be better!

PORTLAND -- Two victims and the gunman died in a shooting at Clackamas Town Center.
The mall re-opened Friday, three days after the shooting rampage that took three lives and sent terrified shoppers running for cover Tuesday afternoon. The mall, surrounding parking lots, and entry roads have been blocked off by police since Tuesday night.
The suspect in the shooting was identified by police Wednesday as 22-year-old Jacob Tyler Roberts, of Southeast Portland.
Deputies said Thursday Steven Forsyth died of a single gunshot wound to the head, Cindy Yuille, of a single gunshot wound to the back and suspect Jacob Roberts of a single gunshot wound to the head.
Investigators are still trying to determine a motive in the shooting. Friends of Roberts told KGW he had recently shared emotional goodbyes with them, saying he was moving to Hawaii. They also said some of his recent behavior seemed erratic, like when he abruptly quit the job he loved at Big Bertha sandwich shop.
At a press conference Wednesday morning, Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts announced that Roberts had been carrying a stolen AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and wearing a load-bearing vest. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Sheriff Roberts said the shooter acted alone and went into the mall with the intent to shoot anyone in his line of sight, on a mission set forth to take the lives of people in that mall.
He said early reports that the shooter's rifle jammed were accurate, but that he was able to fix it and began shooting again. Roberts was carrying several loaded magazines at the time.
Video:Map of shooter's route
Sheriff Roberts identified the deceased victims as 45-year-old Steven Mathew Forsyth of West Linn and 54-year-old Cindy Ann Yuille of Northeast Portland.
He said if it weren't for the quick action of the emergency responders and mall employees and shoppers, the tragedy could have been far worse.
There were 10,000 people in the mall at the time, he said. There are a number of heroes that took the time to help a lot of people get out. I want to thank the whole community.
The survivor of the shooting was identified Wednesday as 15-year-old Kristina Shevchenko of Portland.
She was struck by several bullets and suffered injuries to her right lung and liver, according to OHSU trauma surgeon Dr. Laszlo Kiraly, M.D. He said she had undergone surgery and was in stable condition Wednesday in the Intensive Care Unit. He added that she was awake and talking to her family.
Kiraly said doctors were optimistic that she would recover, but had to remain cautious because she suffered serious wounds from a high-velocity assault weapon. He said there was still the possibility of complications arising from the wounds.
Clackamas Town Center was closed Wednesday and Thursday. General manager Dennis Curtis said the mall's website would provide information for people who left their belongings behind Tuesday. Click here for updates.
10,000 at Mall Tuesday
A witness told KGW that up to 60 shots were fired by a man wearing a white mask and body armor, armed with a large assault-type rifle. The shooting took place at about 3:30 p.m. at the Southeast Portland area mall. Local, state and federal agents swarmed and shut down the mall, searching and evacuating any remaining employees or shoppers.
Lt. James Rhodes of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office announced at a news conference just before 5 p.m. that the suspect had been neutralized. Later police said the shooter was dead from a self-inflicted wound but did not identify him or the weapon used. No law enforcement officers fired any shots in the mall.
Sheriff Craig Roberts said their thoughts and prayers went out to the victims and their families. For all of us, the mall is supposed to be a place we can all take our families, feel comfortable, this is the holidays. These things are never supposed to happen. We have a young lady at the hospital fighting for her life right now, Roberts said.
Police agencies were able to basically hunt down, find this guy, in record time among an estimated 10,000 shoppers in the mall at the time, he added.
Several witnesses reported hearing the suspect announce I am the shooter, before he began firing.
All of a sudden, I just heard a series of gunshots: boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Whatever the shooter was shooting at, they continued to shoot, said shopper Bill Hoff.
I was sitting there by the door watching what was going on and then some guy just ran by in a white mask and an assault rifle and then I look out because I hear a few shots. And he s sitting there and he s pointing the gun at some people so we ran to the fitting room, grabbed some people then ran out to the back exit to get out of there, Macy's employee Mariah Saldana said.
It was just shot after shot after shot. It was terrible. It was like a massacre, witness Kira Rowland said.
Witnesses said the suspect fired several times until the rifle jammed and he the dropped a magazine onto the floor, then ran into the Macy's store.
Any witnesses were asked to contact police at (503) 655-8211.
KGW reporter Abbey Gibb said people were crying and shaking as they came out of the mall.
Dax McMillan, a former police officer, said a friend of his was right next to one of the victims. He said she told him that the gunman aimed at her but his gun jammed and she ran.
Witness Benjamin Christensen, who works in the mall, said he was also there when the shooting began. He heard one shot, then six or seven more. He then began helping to evacuate others out of the rear exits.
There were just cops everywhere and sirens and ambulances coming in. I hope everyone is okay, said a shopper named Isabel, who fled after the shooting. It s so close to a holiday. It s terrible.
Another witness told KGWshe heard several gunshots near Nordstrom, before people ran for cover.
Reporter Pat Dooris said a witness told him security forces helped shoppers get down to the ground and out of sight after the shots were fired.

Melissa Marshall has a message for scientists and engineers: Contrary to popular belief, the general public is interested in your work and does want to hear the details of your research. The trick is that you must communicate your ideas clearly, because they will start snoring in their seats if you assault them with a slew of jargon and details they're not prepared to understand.
See, Marshall is a communications teacher. And as she explains in this talk from TEDGlobal 2012 University, she was asked several years ago to teach a communications class for engineering students. The experience highlighted for her that the ability to speak clearly does not come part and parcel with the ability to do great technical work.
"Our scientists and engineers are the ones tackling our grandest challenges from energy, to environment, to healthcare, among others. But if we don't know about it and understand…
