Somewhere in the middle of the election-night returns, I stopped flipping through the channels — watching the parade of giddy anchors, jacked up on caffeine and infographics — and settled on Fox News Channel. It wasn't a partisan act, though I imagine Fox racked up lot of gloating liberal viewers Tuesday night. This was a matter of entertainment: On a night of far less tension than expected, this was where you got the high emotions.
Hours before the network declared for Obama, the hint of despair was palpable, though the expression of it varied by personality. Peggy Noonan described "a subdued feeling"; Liz Cheney groused that the Republican bench was better than Elizabeth Warren. Sarah Palin, remote from Wasilla, declared this "a perplexing time for many of us right now."

2013 Won't Be Their Year
Jon is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In case you missed it, 2013 is here folks. For those who think like I do, the new year presents an opportunity for a clean thinking slate. I can mentally learn from and put away 2012. Things this year are going to be different. Things this year are going to be better. Bring on the year the Mayans told us we would never have...
We are all wondering who the big winners and losers will be this year. We will likely continue to wonder this until like September or so since none of us hold the future in our hands. But as I've sat down and looked at several companies, I think I've found three candidates for my loser pile. My three big losers for 2013 are:
That's sooo last year
These three companies aren't surprised by my hate. They are quite used to it actually. All three have been met by some analyst opposition for some time now. At the start of 2012, there were many reasons for caution and concern regarding these stocks. But while some worried, others were brave and were rewarded.
If you invested in any one of these companies in 2012 then congratulations. You handily beat the S&P 500. LinkedIn soared higher and higher. Amazon ticked on up like clock work. Even Netflix was able to finally shake of a rough 2011 and get on to some stabler ground. These were good investments for 2012.
So why not now?
The bear cases
We all know and love Amazon the company. I sincerely doubt that there are many people out there who haven't used Amazon.com at some point or another. They are the online shopping experience. No one is questioning their size and consumer impact. What I do question is their ability to make money.
AMZN Profit Margin Quarterly data by YCharts
Over the last five years, Amazon's profit margin has been less than pleasant. After briefly peaking at a measly 4% in 2010, their profit margin has been steadily falling. You may be quick to point out their $13.8 billion quarterly revenue. Admittedly that is very impressive. The problem is that eventually, for this stock to present a value, they will have to actually generate higher profits. Their track record doesn't suggest this is going to happen anytime soon.
Netflix had a good year. But there are a couple things that have me scared as an investor. The first thing I'm worried about is the push towards online streaming. Maybe it's the future. But that future comes with thinner margins than the dvd biz. As dvds decrease, so do profit margins. But secondly, Netflix has been dumping money into their overseas expansion. Add that with the fact that their business is not proven to be profitable overseas. Why they aren't profitable overseas could be debated, but as an investor I don't like it when a company spends money so it can lose money.
Ok, LinkedIn is legit. You may be offended that LinkedIn is in this list. I hope that you understand that I think that LinkedIn is a great company. Well managed. Growing at an insane rate. But I would consider LinkedIn priced to perfection. That is, LinkedIn's upside is priced into the stock. When growth slows, there could be a significant drop in share price. Is growth already slowing? Consider that in the 1st quarter this year, LinkedIn's revenue was up 101%. Guidance for the 4th quarter would have revenue up 62%. 62% revenue growth is astounding, but it seems like growth could be slowing.
The common denominator
The common denominator for all three of these stocks are the lofty valuations. It almost comical to remember the people up in arms when Chipotle Mexican Grill was trading with a p/e ratio in the 60's. These companies don't even come close to that.
It's hard to make an argument that these companies are reasonably priced. All three of these companies could take a 25% stock hit and even still have a very pricey stock.
However, the issue isn't necessarily that these companies have hefty price tags; the issue is can they make enough money to sustain them? We've seen that Amazon's already thin profit margin is falling. Netflix is still bleeding. LinkedIn's growth might be slowing down. When these factors are combined with a high valuation, it signals buyer beware.
There are companies that do seem to be worth their high valuation. I think that Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) could be one such company. Their issue in the past was making money. But more recently this company has been getting creative to find new ways to bring in revenue. With a billion users there are a lot of options on the table. Currently Facebook is trying things like paying to promote a post for some extra cash.
We don't know what 2013 holds, but my experience will keep me away from these three companies this year.

Governments in democratic countries are struggling with how they should engage in social media. Governments in not so democratic countries are subverting social media to their cause; rather effectively in many cases if you read Evgeny Morozov's insightful commentary. And then citizens of democratic nations want, often rant, for government to be more open, to engage in a dialogue. Sounds simple right? Except it's not.
The Citizen Snacker
Increasingly, people are "snacking" when it comes to Web-based content (social media et al.) People prefer 90 second or less video content, quickly share and comment on photo's and since we've been researching social media use, we've seen the average blog post slip down to 200 words from 800 words. Been on Wikipedia? Ever found yourself wondering where you started and how you got to where you did? Right. Snacking.
Government Policy is Not Really Snackable
Editorial liberty to invent "snackable" as a word – but how do you effectively explain why a certain government policy is needed in 140 characters on Twitter? You can't, but you can include a link to where the deeper content is. Some people will go there. Most won't. But they'll sure have an opinion on it.
We Love Our Echo Chambers
Increasingly in our various research projects, we are seeing how people tend to engage with others who have similar views and opinions. This means if you're a golfer, for example, you will tend to focus on websites and social networks related to golfing. Those who are deeply religious will tend to stay within those online communities. This is just normal, real-world human behaviour translated to Cyburbia. We call it Echo Chambers. Our research has shown that at least 78% of people engaged in social media are in some form of Echo Chamber.
Perception Becomes Reality in 140 Characters
We're in the 90-Second Economy or the Attention Economy. We snack on media, we scan news headlines, we quickly share a breaking story. But we rarely dive deep. We've done some research for clients showing that on a really horrific story (i.e. a school shooting or grisly murder) that people will dig deep at the height, chasing content. Within 72 hours of the conclusion of the event however…you get the picture. But this is the reality that people perceive.
Government & Perception: The Public Diplomacy Challenge
When a government implements new legislation or a policy of some sort, that invariably impacts society. Major issues such as debt management, tax increases or justice need deeper explanation. The challenge governments face is getting a point across in 90-seconds and providing the back-up somewhere for those who are interested. Can government choose not to engage? Certainly. But can they afford not to? New policies are a reflecting of the political party in power. At some point an election will be called. If people use social media well enough, they can change and shape perceptions as good as, if not better than, political parties. As happened with Keystone XL Pipeline – citizen use of social media was very effective, it created enough awareness that it caused political damage.
We're Over 200 Words
Our readers will be pleased to know we're working on a book…that is more than 200 words. Sorry we've exceeded your attention span of 200 words, but if you've read this far, we're delighted!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state's education agency Thursday announced the 25 private school systems throughout Wisconsin that can take part in the newly expanded voucher program.
48 systems originally expressed an interest is admitting low income students with state-funded vouchers this fall. Because more than 500 youngsters applied, only the 25 systems with the largest numbers of student applications could be considered.
Over 2,400 students applied in all. Almost 2,100 are from the 25 chosen districts. From those, the department will hold a lottery next week to choose the 500 students who can make the move. 500 is the maximum allowed in the majority of the state where the voucher program is being offered for the first time.
Republicans expanded the program to give parents an alternative to under-performing public schools. But it won't work that way this year, because two-thirds of the youngsters who applied were from private schools.
Only 24 percent of the applicants wanted to move from public schools.
The GOP calls it a technical error, and they promise to fix it during the fall session so more public school youngsters can be among the 1,000 to be admitted in next year's choice program.

LiveCounty council budget
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- Central government has told Oxfordshire County Council to cut its budget by £61m over the next four years.
- The council has found savings of £64m in its budget which will be discussed by its cabinet at 2pm today.
- This includes a controversial £1.5m cut in homelessness services and cuts in support for charities, theatres and advice centres.
Council budget has been agreed.
David Nimmo Smith, cabinet member for transport, has asked the public to "bear with us" as they attempt to deal with the road network on less money.
Melinda Tilley, cabinet member for education, said: "each cabinet member is fighting their corner for what they think is important and for me that is safeguarding children and it doesn't come cheap."
Rodney Rose, the council's deputy leader, said: "anybody who wants one of their savings stopped has to identify where the money comes from because I don't know"
Council leader Ian Hudspeth says the council has a "difficult level of uncertainty" because the government may lower the limit on increasing council tax - currently two per cent. A local referendum would have to be held if a higher increase is wanted.
David Dodds, of Oxfordshire Waste Partnership, has urged the county council not to withdraw funding from it as it "does not add up".
Mr Fatemian says there is an increasing demand on adult social services, creating a "double whammy".
He says the council's government funding will have gone down by £90m since 2010\11 and says "there are no longer any easy savings"
"For every pound that we don't save somewhere we have to raise that pound or save it somewhere else," he said.
Arash Fatemian, the cabinet member for finance, begins introducing the budget and praises the "levels of dedication and strength of feeling" among the protesters.
Susy Drohan of Oxfordshire Welfare Rights tells the cabinet: "it is absolutely vital that the council remains committed to the fact that people in Oxfordshire remain advised of their rights"
Emily Houghton says she is "disgusted" that the council is considering cutting funding for advice centres.
Kevin Kennedy tells the cabinet homeless people "come from different backgrounds but all have the same support needs"
Labour county councillor Nick Hards tells the cabinet the most vulnerable - such as the homeless - need to be protected.
She has told the cabinet one in 10 people become homeless at some point in their lives and the funding is needed to help people out of homelessness.
Lesley Dewhurst of Oxford Homeless Pathway tells the cabinet why it should not cut funding for homelessness. The audience applauds as she finishes.
David Hipkiss is urging the cabinet not to go ahead with its changes to home to school transport as he present a petition with more than 4,000 signatures. This issue to be considered by the cabinet next week.
The meeting is starting with questions from county councillors. Zoe Patrick has asked about free infant school meals while Glynis Phillips is asking about public health contracts.
Council leader Ian Hudspeth is starting the meeting - though he has to sort it the microphone feedback first.
Protesters are gathering outside County Hall in Oxford to demonstrate against Oxfordshire County Council's planned cuts to homelessness services and advice centres.

After a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, the MNsure Board of Directors accepted the resignation of executive director April Todd-Malmlov and appointed Scott Leitz to the new position of interim CEO while a national search for a permanent CEO begins.
No reason was given for Todd-Malmlov's departure, but she had recently been criticized over a vacation she took during what state leaders described as the busiest time of year for the troubled healthcare exchange.
In a release, the MNsure board explained that it took action "to improve service for Minnesotans using the state's health insurance exchange."
"The organization is at a sage where it needs a CEO to manage both MNsure's current challenges and position it for greater success in the future," MNSure Board Chair Brian Beutner said in that release. "Scott has been a proven leader at the Department of Human Services."
Leitz, for his part, outlined some immediate priorities and said his focus will be on partnering with health plans to make it easier for individuals to enroll in coverage as well as moving quickly to fix the ongoing issues with the website while increasing transparency.
"MNsure must do better," Leitz said. "If there are problems or mistakes, we will acknowledge them and fix them."
Both Leitz and Beutner will attend a press conference scheduled for 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday to offer more information.
Gov. Mark Dayton had been vocal in recent weeks about his displeasure with the functionality of the MNsure health exchange, and had urged the board to act.
"I commend the Members of the MNsure Board for their strong action to change immediately the executive staff leadership at Minnesota's Health Insurance Exchange. I fully support their decision, and I have confidence in Scott Leitz's abilities to lead MNsure as its Acting Chief Executive Officer. As I have said before – and have made emphatically clear to the MNsure Board – now is a critical time for Minnesotans, who are relying on this exchange to purchase good quality, yet affordable, health insurance. The recent problems some have experienced with MNsure are completely unacceptable. I am hopeful that this new leadership will lead to their swift resolution." - Gov. Mark Dayton
"I want to thank April Todd-Malmlov for her hard work and leadership in moving MNsure from a mere idea to a marketplace with the lowest health insurance rates in the country. Unacceptable technical challenges remain for Minnesotans trying to enroll with MNsure. As we move ahead, a key focus for MNsure should be their work with outside vendors who need to step up their technical support to fix these IT issues." - Rep. Joe Atkins (DFL-Inver Grove Heights), chief author of MNsure legislation
"Today's resignation of MNsure's executive director does not change the fact that MNsure is a fiasco. Mark Dayton was the biggest cheerleader to bring Obamacare to Minnesota, and he owns this mess. It is time for Dayton to take responsibility and apologize to Minnesotans for not being sufficiently prepared. This staggering incompetence is a new low." - Ben Golnik, Minnesota Jobs Coalition chairman

Insights On Buying An Older Podiatry Practice
- Volume 22 - Issue 4 - April 2009
- 14748 reads
- 0 comments
How To Reach Out To The Existing Patient Base
An important part of the ownership transition is mailing a letter to current patients of the practice in order to notify them of the DPM's retirement and the new physician who will be taking over the practice.
Dear Mrs. Jones,
I have been a practicing podiatrist since 1969 and the time has come for me to retire. While I look forward to having more time for relaxation and spending time with my loved ones, I will also miss seeing my wonderful patients very much.
I have searched very hard to find someone to take over my practice and give my patients the kind of podiatric care they deserve. I feel extremely fortunate to have engaged (name of new podiatrist) to assume my position effective May 1, 2009. He will have access to all your medical records. The office phone number and address will remain the same.
Your new podiatrist is a warm and caring physician who is certified by both the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine.
I have known your new podiatrist for many years and have complete faith that you will find him an excellent resource for all your foot and ankle problems.
It has been my pleasure and honor to serve as your podiatrist. I will look back on my career with fond memories of you and deeply appreciate your patronage. I feel proud to be leaving you in the good hands of your new podiatrist.
In Conclusion
Six months after the practice sale, I have seen very positive developments.
• Monthly new patient visits are up.
• Monthly "every 63 day" patients are down.
• The PPV of the part-time practice is up 39 percent.
• My monthly net income is up over $5,000.
The podiatric profession has changed perhaps more than most medical specialties over the last 40 years. However, there are still some "old school" practices out there. Savvy podiatrists looking to grow their businesses may want to consider opportunities involving the acquisition of such an old school practice.
One can convert such practices into modern, profitable operations, creating a winning transaction for both parties. Help out a fellow DPM looking to retire. Someday, this DPM might be you.
Dr. McDonald is in private practice in Kannapolis, N.C. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Podiatric
Practice Management and serves on the Education Committee of the Georgia Podiatric Medical Association.

June 11, 2008,
Present: Committee Members: Kathleen Lamb, Susan Mackert, Pierce McNally, David Pratt, Amy Ryan, and Cynthia Steinke
Tour of special collections and vault Special Collections Senior Librarian Heather Lawton
Heather explained to members the Athenaeum collection in the Reister Reading Room and in the vault.
Welcome and Purpose Committee Chair David Pratt
David Pratt welcomed attendees and stated the purpose for these meetings is the start of a new relationship with the Minneapolis Athenaeum and the Hennepin County Library. Our goal is to seek ways to move forward that will enhance and benefit our partnership and be of great service to our customers.
Athenaeum Overview
Information was distributed with background information on Minneapolis Public Library and the Athenaeum. Included were annual reports from 2001-2003. Past contracts were written in 1885, which was a 99 year contract and renewed for 50 years in 1984. The contract was not renewed at the time of the merger.
Discussion lead by Ms. Mackert and Mr. McNally included
their concerns about Athenaeum books sent to Etherington
Conservation Services in
Ms. Mackert described how Minneapolis Public Library handled administration responsibilities. Former Athenaeum Librarian Edward Kukla evaluated the collection as interest to scholars into five different levels. He decided that some collections were better than others, but that a scholar would not come to visit at the level of the Athenaeum collection. Therefore, the collection should not be hidden from public viewing. It is extremely important to get the collection into a form for customers to see and touch. Of the 6000 rare books about 5000 items can be viewed without any significant wear and tear. Many things dont need the vault and can be displayed in the Reister Room. They are concerned regarding the conservation, preservation, and collection development of the Athenaeum.
Discussion included potential areas for further discussion:
How have the two entities worked together, including successes and concerns?
Discussion included these ideas:
§ Partnerships in programs and events have been successful. The Iraqi exhibit was successful with help from the Library with security personnel, volunteers recruited, and brought in 700 new customers who had never been in the building.
§ Shared staff
§ Facility and space is an opportunity
§ Athenaeum is open to working with Friends and Foundation
How does the Athenaeum support the Library, how does the Library support the Athenaeum?
The Athenaeum raised funds for the capital campaign to support the Minneapolis Central Library construction. The Athenaeum houses their collection at the Library. They have purchased the books for loan to the special collections at the Library.
How does the public benefit from an Athenaeum/HCL relationship? How do Athenaeum members benefit? Other benefits?
The Athenaeum said they have members who pay dues, receive a newsletter, have access to books, invitation to programs, and put on social functions. They are building their own Friends. They solicit for membership at events, hand them materials, and address them for rose scholars.
What are the shared aspirations and potential for advancing this relationship into the future?
Ideas discussed include the opportunity to market reproductions of their collections.
The Athenaeum would like to reach a younger audience and bring the collection into today. The relationship with HCL needs to reflect a win/win situation with a huge opportunity for everyone to be successful as they move forward.
The Athenaeum Board could come to Library Board meetings to talk about the Athenaeum. The Athenaeum could partner with the Minneapolis Institute for Art as a fundraising opportunity. They could explore digitizing the Audubon collection. There are unlimited possibilities.
Next steps
The Librarys concern is a Property Services issue regarding the building. The Athenaeum vault door and the temperature/humidity settings are being reviewed by Architectural Alliance. The county will arrange for this to be completed within the next couple months.
The memo of understanding will be discussed at an upcoming meeting. Some of the issues brought up as next steps include insurance and liability, role of Athenaeum with HCL, long term relationships, policies and procedures, governance and HCL liaison, how Athenaeum advances the new HCL mission and vision which is under discussion.
Next meeting:
August 6, ,

This conversation is closed.
A deceptively simple question: What is, was, and will always be impossible to occur?
I'm having difficulty answering this question with any certainty.
At first glance, most people would agree that some things are impossible.
But then have a difficult time giving an example.
The imagination allows us to think of something seemingly "impossible" and then in the next thought, to think of a way that it might be possible.
Is this a true reflection of reality?
Might nothing be impossible?
Impassable numbers such as the speed of light and absolute zero are not as absolute as they were once considered to be.
This type of thinking leads to the suggestion that all endeavors will eventually succeed and that any idea put forth at one point was, or will be valid.
Dare I say, might a god exist, just not yet?
Can any of this be true?
As a caveat, this question does not concern labels.
It is impossible for a triangle to have 4 sides, but it is possible for a triangle to be modified in such a way that it now possess 4 sides. The label of triangle is no longer appropriate, but it was never meant to be binding in the first place.
Closing Statement from Cameron Robert
This conversation has come to an end and I thank everyone that took the time to participate.
We certainly did cover a lot of territory.
I think the take away message here is that nothing should be assumed.
At one time or another, we (all) assumed something that wasn't true.
In order to overcome this, we needed the help of another perspective.
Indeed, I started this conversation on TED to seek out this very thing.
Although I have not come across anything that I am convinced is impossible, another interesting question has arose.
As proposed by LaMar Alexander, it is impossible (for humans) to know what is impossible.
This may be true. But why might it be true?
Is it impossible because our minds are limited?
Is it impossible because impossible doesn't exist?
Are we unable to find the destination or does the destination not exist?
Either way,
I think it is interesting to think about the limits of the human mind and how those limitations might be overcome.
And also to consider that minds greater than ours might exist, conceiving of what is just outside of our reach.
Until then, think about it.

Jun 15 2013: Sorry !
iow. how reality undergo the formality of actual occurring ?
Is it any better ?
Anyway, i have at least one impossibility, right now :
it's impossible to explain anything without explaining everything.
"Only he who comprehends the whole can also comprehend a part"
The Whole is incomprehensible by definition.
Jun 17 2013: 'by definition' - because of the nature of someone or something
That's what i meant.:)
Is there anything more to it ? I would appreciate your help .
Thanks !
Jun 17 2013: "The whole is incomprehensible by definition."
There is nothing about something being a whole that makes it incomprensible.
I can eat a whole pizza or work the whole day, but this has nothing to do with understanding.
By definition would apply to something like a bachelor.
Who is, by definition, an unmarried man.
If that man was married, he is not a bachelor, by definition.
Jun 17 2013: I didn't say ' whole' i said ' the Whole '
The Whole is incomprehensible by the very nature of the Whole. It is unfolding/enfolding, it is always changing to stay the same. To put it simply, it's a System of infinite complexity. To comprehend the Whole one must see all points of the Whole with equal clarity at once.
Apparently, we are talking about different things :)
Jun 17 2013: Well this again works.
I can see a whole pizza at one time.
I don't see why this "Whole" would be any different.
I'm sure that if you believe in a god, then that being must be able to comprehend the whole.
If it didn't, then it couldn't be god, by definition.
If one had an infinite amount of time to explore an infinite amount of space, wouldn't they be able to experience all of it? Infinity is only infinity, no more, no less.
But in general, I'm not convinced that the whole is infinitely complex.
It has a finite number of rules that govern it, not an infinite number of them.
Jun 17 2013: In all of those cases, we are talking about finite things.
The laws of physics are a finite thing.
Some laws apply and some don't.
I'm not sure how your logic supports your initial assertion that for some reason the whole universe is incomprehensible.
This would be especially true if the multiverse exists.
Where one stops another can begin.

An early morning crash that seriously injured 5 children evolved into tragedy over Thursday, as two of the children involved succumbed to their injuries in the hours following the single-car accident.
A St. Louis Park spokesman said the 5 children rescued from a submerged car off Highway 100 on Thursday morning were found unresponsive, and all 5 suffered serious injuries, according to Minnesota State Patrol.
The 23-year-old driver went off the road and crashed into the pond at about 6:15 a.m. after taking the Highway 100 north ramp from Highway 7 westbound. VIEW PHOTOS
St. Louis Park spokesman Jamie Zwilling said the mother of three of the children, 23-year-old Marion Guerrido of Brooklyn Center, escaped the car when it hit the water. Neighbors at a nearby apartment building heard her cries for help, called 911, and rushed to her aid.
The first child was pulled out of the car after 25 minutes, the last after 45 minutes, Minnesota State Patrol confirmed. The pond was near freezing, police said.
The children's ages are 1, 5, 5, 6 and 7. Minnesota State Patrol confirmed Thursday afternoon that the 1-year-old and 7-year-old are both at Amplatz Children's Hospital with serious injuries. The other three are at HCMC, also with serious injuries. All are from Brooklyn Center.
Marion Guerrido, 23: No apparent injury
Aliyana Rennie, 1: Serious injury
Zarihana Rennie, 6: Serious injury
Zenavia Rennie, 5: Deceased
Alarious Coleman-Guerrido, 7: Deceased
Amani Coleman-Guerrido, 5: Serious injury
The hospitals are not releasing any information on the condition of the surviving children; however, an emergency room doctor who spoke with Fox 9 News said the cold water actually increases their odds.
"One of the things the cold temperature does is it slows down the metabolic rate for the cells," Dr. Aaron Burnett explained. "The ones we worry about most are the cells in the brain. So, the cold really means that you will require less oxygen and produce fewer waste products for a given period of time.
Burnett says the strategy for survival involves getting the kids to a hospital and warming their bodies as aggressively as possible.
The car -- a green Pontiac Grand Am -- was submerged in about 8 feet of water. Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Roeske said there is no indication the crash was intentional and no alcohol was detected. Police are investigating whether wet roads played a role in the crash.
The northbound ramp to Highway 100 was closed for several hours during accident reconstruction.

New Sony Cybershot HX200v superzoom (30x zoom)
It looks like Sony has not fallen for the Nikon P510 pinocchio siren's song, and its brand new Cybershot HX200v superzoom leader of the Sony line-up has a "modest" 30x optical zoom, compared to the P510's 42x optical zoom range. It also features the new 18mp 1/2.3" backlit CMOS sensor. Manual exposure is here and with some of the other new Cybershots, but still no RAW.

At the end of my post yesterday about the heart suncatchers, I promised to share what else we've done so far with the light table.
Thank you first though for your ideas for light table play, both in the blog comments and on facebook! I can't wait to give those a try with my kids!
As I mentioned yesterday, our light table is a super easy DIY version (a clear plastic storage box with white Christmas lights!), and we've only had it for about a month.
That said, here's what we've tried so far:
Note: When I finally decided to make the light table, I placed an order with Discount School Supply for some things I thought would be fun to try on the light table, so these items are all from there, although some you might be able to find elsewhere.

About BAMcinématek
The four-screen BAM Rose Cinemas (BRC) opened in 1998 to offer Brooklyn audiences alternative and independent films that might not play in the borough otherwise, making BAM the only performing arts center in the country with two mainstage theaters and a multiplex cinema. In July 1999, beginning with a series celebrating the work of Spike Lee, BAMcinématek was born as Brooklyn's only daily, year-round repertory film program. BAMcinématek presents new and rarely seen contemporary films, classics, work by local artists, and festivals of films from around the world, often with special appearances by directors, actors, and other guests. BAMcinématek has not only presented major retrospectives by major filmmakers such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Manoel de Oliveira, Shohei Imamura, Vincente Minnelli (winning a National Film Critics' Circle Award prize for the retrospective), Kaneto Shindo, Luchino Visconti, and William Friedkin, but it has also introduced New York audiences to contemporary artists such as Pedro Costa and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. In addition, BAMcinématek programmed the first US retrospectives of directors Arnaud Desplechin, Nicolas Winding Refn, Hong Sang-soo, and, most recently, Andrzej Zulawski. From 2006 to 2008, BAMcinématek partnered with the Sundance Institute and in June 2009 launched BAMcinemaFest, a 16-day festival of new independent films and repertory favorites with 15 NY feature film premieres; the fifth annual BAMcinemaFest ran from June 19—28, 2013.

Latest additions that will be coming to Firefox 13 include performance improvements, new default tabs and improvements to the web developer tools.
Making Firefox "snappy" is a high priority for the Mozilla team. When loading tabs in a Firefox start-up, "only the active tab will load. Loading of background tabs is deferred until a tab is selected", according to Lawrence Mandel on the Mozilla Hacks blog.
Mandel said that the "cycle collector is more efficient, spending less time examining memory that is still in use, which results in less pauses as you use Firefox". Additionally, general performance improvements can be expected all-round Firefox.
A new "home tab" will be included. "Firefox will offer easy access to things users are familiar with today (Bookmarks, History, Settings, Downloads) as well as introduce the Apps Marketplace — a great place to discover exciting new content on the Web", according to the Mozilla feature page.
As in the other modern web browsers, Firefox will include a "new tab" page. Currently, Firefox displays a blank page.
Mozilla is continuing with their improvements to the new web developer tools, as part of their 2012 desktop strategy they are including a "powerful and beautiful set of Web developer tools".
Web developers will now have the ability to lock in a pseduo-classes such as :hover, making it easier to inspect the code. One of the most useful features will be the ability to edit CSS files in Firefox. Any changes will now be automatically saved if the CSS file stored locally (file://).
The expected release date is June 5 2012 and is currently available for download as a beta.

Peter J. Tseronis Chief Technology OfficerEnergy Department
The work: Leading the process to test new technologies and ensure that successful ones are applied agencywide.
The impact: Tseronis introduced many innovations last year that are saving DOE money. His efforts are also transforming the role of the CTO in supporting agency missions.
The nuts and bolts: He collaborated with DOE's Loan Programs Office to test and ultimately deploy an enterprise search tool in record time. The tool allows the office to quickly find documents that reside on a variety of platforms, saving more than $970,000 in labor costs annually. He also promoted the development of a state-of-the-art e-learning platform that will save DOE $2.8 million and is now in use at many other agencies.

The following was emailed to reporters from the Office of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio:
"The greatest peacetime prime minister in British history is dead. Margaret Thatcher, a grocer's daughter, stared down elites, union bosses, and communists to win three consecutive elections, establish conservative principles in Western Europe, and bring down the Iron Curtain. There was no secret to her values – hard work and personal responsibility – and no nonsense at all in her leadership. She once said, 'Defeat? I do not recognize the meaning of the word.' Now this lady who was never for turning goes to rest as grateful friends and allies around the world mourn her passing and pray for her loved ones. Americans will always keep Lady Thatcher in our hearts for her loyalty to Ronald Reagan and their friendship that we all admired. At this difficult hour, I send the condolences of the U.S. House of Representatives to Prime Minister Cameron and the British people."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley says she doubts that Justice Pat Roggensack could resolve the fallout from the 2011 confrontation between Bradley and Justice David Prosser.
In a debate last Friday, Roggensack said that if voters re-elected her next week, she'd find a resolution to the conflict.
Prosser still faces ethics charges filed over a year ago by the state's Judicial Commission. But the case has been held up, because Roggensack and 3 other justices withdrew from having to make a potential final decision on Prosser's fate.
The justices said they were direct witnesses to an incident in which Prosser allegedly put a chokehold on Bradley during an argument – and therefore, they could not be impartial.
Bradley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that if Roggensack could not rule on the Judicial Commission's charges, there's no way she could fairly come up with, "her own contrived solution."
Roggensack says she finds fault with both Bradley's and Prosser's behavior in the incident. She says voters should not judge her for what others have done.
Roggensack is running against Marquette law professor Ed Fallone next Tuesday.

Olly says he likes the song's " Maroon 5 " vibe, and adds, "With a little Flo Rida sprinkled on top, it's a good mix!"
The singer kicks off his tour in support of the new album April 19 in Silver Spring, Maryland. Tickets go on sale on March 15 on the singer's website .

HOUSTON (BP) -- A Tuesday evening revival service with worship led by Charles Billingsley and a sermon by Southern Baptist Convention President Fred Luter will be among the highlights of the SBC annual meeting June 11-12 in Houston.
Messengers will convene with the theme "Revive Us That We May Be One," based on John 13:34-35, at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
Luter chose the theme because he believes the brotherly love that distinguishes God's disciples is the only way the convention will experience the revival it so desires. The theme passage commands Christians to love one another because such love is how the world will know that believers follow the Lord.
"We're not going to do it by just our preaching or by our singing or just by our giving, we've got to prove it through our actions that we truly love one another," Luter said. "And the way we do that is by being the disciples that God has called us to be.
"And if we ever get in one accord, I believe something can happen like happened in Acts chapter 2," Luter said. "When the New Testament church was in one accord, God did great things through the church. And that's my prayer for this convention."
The SBC would be more Christlike in fulfilling its mission if the convention were to experience greater unity, Luter said.
"I would just love for us to come together as a convention one year and say, 'You know what, we're going to put aside our petty differences and just put aside all these things that's going to separate us, and let's come together in one accord,'" Luter said. "The only way we can do that, we've got to love each other with the love of God and we've got to make the main thing the main thing and that's evangelism and discipleship. When we can do that, then I think we're on our way to being the convention that God desires for us to be."
Luter expressed excitement about the meeting location of Houston, dear to his heart because his pastorate, Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, planted a congregation there to serve its displaced New Orleans members after Hurricane Katrina.
Reports showing the level of success of the 1% Cooperative Program challenge, aimed at increasing CP funding by $100 million within a year and extending the work of the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board also will highlight the annual meeting, Luter said.
"I want to see how those funds have impacted NAMB in planting churches and strengthening other churches, how it's impacted IMB through the missions board with [IMB President] Dr. [Tom] Elliff as far as impacting the lives of missionaries," Luter said. "So I'm excited to hear those reports, as well as the reports that will be coming from the six seminaries."
A greater turnout and more ethnic diversity among messengers also are among Luter's hopes for the meeting, and he looks forward to worship being led by Billingsley, this year's convention music director and worship pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va.
1 Million Men
New Hope Publishers, a division of Woman's Missionary Union, and the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission are partnering with pastor Jay Dennis of First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland, Fla., to launch the "Join 1 Million Men in the War Against Pornography" campaign and its related resources at this year's annual meeting.
Dennis began the "Join 1 Million Men" anti-pornography movement when he realized the horrific toll pornography was taking on churches. "Churches are facing a spiritual battle against a hidden plague that is keeping many believers from fulfilling their part of God's mission," Dennis said.
The War Against Pornography will take the movement nationwide with a goal of 1 million men taking a public stand against pornography and the support of 1 million women praying for them and their families.
The campaign will be a success, Dennis said, "When men are more passionate about purity than they are about pleasure, when churches can openly discuss this, instead of sweeping it under the rug."
"Crossover Houston"
Continuing in the tradition of reaching out to the host city of the SBC annual meeting, the pre-convention "Crossover Houston" will offer opportunities for hundreds of volunteers to intentionally share the Gospel through block parties and door-to-door evangelism.
"The Southern Baptists of Texas Convention is working with the North American Mission Board to provide a more traditional Crossover experience," said Nathan Lorick, the SBTC's evangelism director. "This includes working with seminary students Monday through Friday, June 3-7, on going door-to-door with the Gospel. On Saturday (June 8), churches will be hosting block parties across Houston."
Also, NAMB is working with Union Baptist Association in Houston to help kick off "Loving Houston," a three-year program featuring projects such as home renovation, clean-up, demolition, outreach and prayerwalking.
First Baptist Church in Pearland is one of the churches planning a block party as part of Crossover Houston.
The block party is set to include bounce houses, rock climbing, water slides for older kids, interactive games, a petting zoo and pony rides, as well as hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones. In addition, the church band will perform from a bandstand.
"The Crossover event will allow many people to participate in a fun day when many residents' normal busy schedules would not otherwise allow them to hear or see that the Gospel can impact their lives," pastor Sonny Foraker said.

text: When did your LO stop napping? Sadie stopped napping every day around 3, but she still napped a few times a week until 3.5. But now Sonny is 2 yrs 3 months, and it seems like he may be ready to drop his soon. And the longer he naps, the longer it takes him to fall asleep. Is that really young?

Let's recap what we've covered in this tutorial:
- Banks provide security and convenience for managing your money and sometimes allow you to make money by earning interest. Convenience and fees are two of the most important things to consider when choosing a bank.
- Writing and depositing checks are perhaps the most fundamental ways to move money in and out of a checking account, but advancements in technology have added ATM and debit card transactions and ACH transfers to the mix.
- All banks have rules about how long it takes to access your deposits, how many debit card transactions you're allowed in a day, and how much cash you can withdraw from an ATM. Access to the balance in your checking account can also be limited by businesses that place holds on your funds.
- Debit cards provide easy access to the cash in your account, but can cause you to rack up fees if you're not careful.
- While debit cards encourage more responsible spending than credit cards, they do not offer the same protection or perks to consumers.
- Regularly balancing your checkbook or developing another method to stay on top of your account balance is essential to successfully managing your checking account and avoiding fees and bounced checks.
- If you have more money than you need to manage your day-to-day expenses, banks offer a variety of options for saving, including money market accounts, CDs, high-interest online savings accounts and basic savings accounts.
- To protect your money from electronic theft, identity theft, and other forms of fraud, it's important to implement basic precautions such as shredding account statements, having complex passwords and only doing online banking through secure internet connections.
