Verizon's creepy spy-cam idea
The company wants to patent technology that watches you while you're watching television -- and shows you ads based on what you're doing.
Or maybe your young daughter is in the room watching a program with you. What if the TV saw this and started showing Barbie commercials?
That's exactly what Verizon (VZ) is proposing in a patent application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The application describes a system that uses infrared cameras and microphones to watch what people are doing in front of a TV.
If two people are cuddling on a couch watching TV, the system might show them a commercial for a romantic vacation, flowers, and yes, even condoms, according to the application. The system could even figure out what pets are in the room and start showing dog food commercials or flea treatment ads.
Verizon declined to comment on the issue to FierceCable, the site that first uncovered the patent application. But the company later released a statement that said it "has a well-established track record of respecting its customers' privacy and protecting their personal information." Verizon said that such futuristic patent filings are routine, and anything it did in the future would be in line with its track record of protecting customer privacy.
Companies often file patents as a defensive move to protect an idea from competitors. Verizon likely wanted to cover this ground to keep anyone else from getting there first. And as shockingly invasive as the idea might seem, someone is going to go down this road eventually.
The problem with traditional TV advertising is that it can't account for what users are doing, the patent says. This limits the effectiveness of the ads.
Some observers have likened the idea to Google's (GOOG) Gmail service, which scans a users email and shows them ads based on messages they have sent or received. This practice has raised quite a few privacy alarms in the past, even though Google claims the entire process is automated and no human is actually reading your email. Now, Gmail users don't seem to care much at all.
Google is one of several companies interested in what Verizon is doing. In fact, Google filed a patent years ago for an "image capture device" that could measure how many viewers are watching a particular broadcast, Ars Technica reports. Comcast (CMCSA) has already patented an idea to recommend TV shows based on who it sees in the living room.

It's a damn shame that, now that the audio and video are primo, TV content sucks and the providers are becoming intrusive. Other than a game here and there, there's not much that can't be gotten on the radio, online, or from Netflix. So why do I need a DVR or even a TV provider? When this happens, the cord will be cut.
George Orwell's book "1984":
The telescreens (in every public area, and in the quarters of the people), have hidden microphones and cameras. These devices, alongside informers, permit the Thought Police to spy upon everyone and so identify anyone who might endanger the Party's régime.

Once it was only cabbage's pretty cousin all ornamental cuteness with no culinary career. Ruffled and often purple, it sat purely as decoration in winter flower gardens. Occasionally, it would make a guest appearance as garnish on a plate as a splashier alternative to parsley.
Now, kale is known as a vegetable powerhouse. Its bountiful antioxidants have been linked to fighting several cancers and conquering myriad maladies. It's even become a healthy fast-food alternative as crunchy kale chips.
"Kale chips are something of a culinary miracle: A harsh, bitter green becomes a paper-thin chip that melts in your mouth," said Lindsay Landis, author of "Breakfast for Dinner" (Quirk Books, 160 pages, $19.95). "The key to making these snacks extra crisp is drying them completely before baking."
Kale sales particularly of the Tuscan black or "dinosaur" variety have skyrocketed, said Jim Mills of Sacramento's Produce Express. "It's huge. From last year, sales are up easily five times. The main source is still small organic growers."
Although grown year-round, kale is at its peak of availability in late winter. Cold weather makes kale taste sweeter.
"It's still a fairly seasonal crop," Mills said. "Chefs use more in winter than summer."
Chefs serve it alongside braised short ribs, in frittatas and under scallops. Wolfgang Puck served kale salad at Sunday's post-Oscar gala.
Before this boom in popularity, the biggest U.S. kale buyer was Pizza Hut, which used the dark green variety to decorate its salad bars.
But anything spinach can do, kale can do often with more vitamins and minerals. Per calorie, kale has more iron than beef and more calcium than milk.
In addition to the dark green curly kinds, look for Russian red kale, smooth-leafed Siberian kale and Tuscan (a.k.a. lacinato) kale with long, straight leaves.
Nutrition: Kale comes packed with nutrients but few calories and virtually no fat. One cup of chopped raw kale contains 33 calories, yet contains twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. It also contains more than a full day's supply of vitamin C and almost seven times the daily dose of vitamin K. Kale also is rich in vitamin B6, calcium, potassium, copper and manganese. Plus it provides a lot of fiber.
Because it's so dense in nutrients, kale is considered among the best "superfoods." It contains 45 different flavonoids; those antioxidants help fight cancers of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary and prostate. Steamed kale also may help lower cholesterol levels.
On the down side, kale contains high concentrates of oxalates. People with kidney or gallbladder problems should avoid kale.
Selection: Look for dark, firm leaves and moist, sturdy stems. Leaves should not appear wilted, yellow or full of little holes. Smaller leaves tend to be milder and more tender than large leaves. Due to its high water content, kale greatly reduces when cooking; 1 cup raw becomes 1/4 cup cooked. Before preparation, allow a half-pound raw per person.
Storage: Kale looks tough, but wilts easily. Keep it cold. In the refrigerator crisper drawer, store unwashed kale in a plastic bag; squeeze out as much air as possible. Kale will keep at least five days; the longer the storage, the more bitter it becomes. Wash just before using. Kale also can be blanched and frozen for later use.
Preparation: Because of its curly texture, kale needs to be washed carefully to remove grit. Rinse under running water one leaf at a time.
To get the most health benefits out of kale, wash the leaves, sprinkle them with lemon juice, then let them sit at least five minutes before using. That little squeeze of lemon can enhance kale's concentration of phytonutrients and also improves flavor.
Kale can be eaten raw in salads or cooked (steamed, braised, roasted or stir-fried). Steamed kale can be used as a substitute for cooked spinach in most recipes. To steam, bring 2 inches of water to boil in the bottom of a steamer pot. Remove midrib of kale leaves and chop into half-inch pieces. Steam kale for 5 minutes. Toss with butter, olive oil or other dressing, or use in recipes.
Possible combinations: Serve steamed kale with chopped apple, walnuts and balsamic vinegar. Or toss steamed kale with pine nuts, feta cheese, olive oil and cooked pasta. Or the traditional standby: Steamed kale with butter, topped with crumbled bacon.
Kale chips: The key to crisp kale chips: dry leaves. Use a salad spinner. Pat with paper towels. Get the moisture out of those curly cracks.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove large stems and center rib from leaves. Cut leaves into 2-inch pieces. Toss leaves in 2 tablespoons olive oil and arrange pieces in a single layer on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp but not brown around the edges. Sprinkle with salt and serve. (Another version of kale chips is on this page, above left.)
Kale lore: A cabbage cousin, today's kale descended from wild cabbages in Asia Minor. Celtic travelers are believed to have introduced kale to Europe before 600 B.C.
The ancient Romans farmed curly kale. That also was a major vegetable for peasants in the Middle Ages. In the 1600s, English immigrants brought kale with them to the New World.
For centuries, kale has been synonymous with Scotland. Traditionally, every country garden should have a patch (called a "kaleyard"). If a Scotsman invites you "to kale," he means come to dinner, although kale may not necessarily be on the menu.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and the state Division of Natural Resources will collect live Christmas trees for recycling from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 5 at Capitol Market in downtown Charleston.
Nearly 500 trees were collected during last year's recycling event. This is the ninth year for tree recycling, which is coordinated by the DEP's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan, or REAP.
The DNR takes the trees each year and puts them in lakes throughout the state to improve fish habitat.
Existing, rotting habitats are replaced each year by the newly recycled trees so new habitats can be created. According to the DEP, the trees provide hiding and feeding areas for fish and other aquatic creatures.
All decorations must be removed from the trees, including ornaments, tinsel and stands. Anyone who drops off a tree can enter a drawing to win ski packages at West Virginia resorts.

Like most projects, this one costs money. Edward Hardy, Junior and Dejanique Williams are students at University Prep Science and Math High School in Detroit. They're building an urban garden.
"If you just grow it and don't eat it, you don't get the full story of where the food comes from," said Alison Heeres, who is working with the students.
That's why the students want to build a mobile kitchen inside their school, but they need a little help paying for it.
That's where a soup dinner comes in to play. It's a monthly event called Soup at Spaulding. $5 gets you unlimited soup and a chance to help your neighbors turn their vision into a reality.
"People then get to voice what it is that they're working on," Heeres said.
And the community chooses which project will bring the most value. At the end of the night, there's a vote.
A portion of the dinner's proceeds go to restoring Spaulding Court, a once dilapidated building in Corktown that's being completely restored by people who live and work in the neighborhood.
The rest of the money goes to the evening's winner. This time, the prize went to Edward and Dejanique.
"They do this because they know it's fundamental to us coming together and solving problems," said Heeres.
Inspiring hope one dinner at a time.
"I think it's a number one priority for me to stay here and put it on the top of my list to make a comeback for Detroit. I don't want to see my city fall," Hardy said.
The next Soup at Spaulding will be held Thursday night at Spaulding Court. They are also plenty of other organizations that are holding similar soup dinners.

The free breakfast is definitely a plus. Great staff! "

In terms of energy efficiency, windows are one of the usefull link cheap cialis online prescription biggest contributors to heat loss from buildings. But a new window technology called vacuum-insulated glass (VIG) being developed by Guardian Industries could allow for windows that can provide insulation values comparable to, well...walls, with a new double-pane glass with a vacuum between the panes.
{digg}http://digg.com/design/Saving_the_World_and_15_Bn_year_with_New_Windows{/digg}The principle behind the thermos, namely that a vacuum is a very effective insulator, is now being applied to windows, which are one of the most energy inefficient parts of a building, responsible for up to 30% of the heating needed. Heat is transferred by one of three methods, conduction, convection, or radiation. A vacuum prevents transfer by convection or conduction, and a low-E coating on windows can block much of the radiation transfer.
The manufacturer, Guardian Industries, is reportedly hoping to have this glass commercially available by the end of 2009. More importantly, while other researchers have been exploring the idea of vacuum glass for several years, Guardian is expecting to be able to produce this glass at a reasonable cost .
The head of http://www.asian-americans.com/viagra-tablet the Building Technologies Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was quoted as saying, "This performance level would convert most windows in heating climates into net energy suppliers, providing more energy to levitra medication the home via order usa cialis online passive solar gain (even facing north) than the window loses...If you could convert every window [in the U.S.] to this performance level, you would save homeowners about $15 billion each year."

The glass is buy viagra online without prescription sealed with another layer of glass round the sides that produces the airtight seal. Due to the thiner double glazzing sheet they can be used to replace glass that was single glazzed before.

They are affordable, and wow are they an improvement over the old windows and normal double glassed units. The wall temp on a 32F night was 68F and the inner window temp was 67F, so only a 1F difference compared with the wall! Prior windows gave about 10F difference.
AlpenEG -- highly recommended.

Nearly vacuum windows would be perfect, but I think this new windows are not so new at all. I have seen this type of online pharmacies technology very often in Europe where windows are used for shielding of noise and heat.
I doubt that this new windows are a new technology. I think this might be just an upgrade.

More seniors are living with their children these days, but don't blame the slow U.S. economy. Blame demographics.
Since the mid-1990s, the share of people 65 years old and over living with their children or other relatives has risen from around 6.6% to 7.3% in 2013, according to an analysis of data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey by Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia, a real-estate listings site.
According to the American Community Survey — a bigger Census study with a sample size large enough to analyze specific demographic groups — 9% of seniors lived in a household headed by their children, children-in-law or other relatives besides their spouses in 2012. Another 2% lived with people they weren't related to, while 3% lived in places like nursing homes. The rest, about 85%, lived in their own homes.
The recession and weak recovery forced a growing number of young Americans to shack up with their parents, creating more "intergenerational" households. Seniors, meanwhile, are playing a critical role by offering financial lifelines and other types of support to adult children who are struggling to get by—or who are having difficultu achieving milestones like buying a house.
But what's driving the trend of more seniors living with their children isn't low income-growth or high joblessness — it's mainly the fact that the share of seniors born in another country is rising — indeed, it's already gone from 8% in 1994 to 13% in 2013.

- Where the Jobs are in Australia
- More Women Over 35 Are Having Kids Out of Marriage
- The Earnings Gap Between Married and Non-Married Moms is Widening
- When It Comes to Housing, Maybe Millennials Aren't so Different After All
- All in the Family Home: Record 57 Million Americans Living in Multi-Generational Households
That is important because foreign-born seniors are four times more likely to live with their children. Around 25% of foreign-born seniors in the U.S. live with relatives, compared with just 6% for U.S.-born seniors.
Whether or not Grandma and Grandpa are going to live with you varies hugely by which country they were born in.
Nearly half of all U.S. seniors born in India (47%) were living with relatives. Vietnam (44%), the Philippines (38%), Mexico (35%) and China (34%) also posted high shares. By contrast, only 5% of Canadian-born seniors live with their kids, below even the 6% share of U.S.-born seniors. German-born seniors in the U.S. were at 6%; England-born, at 7%.
It's not all about whether seniors are born in the West or not — factors like age and race are important, too.
Seniors are more likely to live with relatives if they're older. The share of seniors who are 80 or older has grown from 22% in 1994 to 25% in 2013. Just 6% of the youngest seniors (65 to 69) live with relatives, versus 15% for those 85 and older. African-American, Asian-American and Hispanic seniors born in the U.S. are all twice as likely as whites to live with relatives. Other factors that make seniors more likely to live with children include not being married, being female (women live longer) and living in a metro area with fewer seniors.

Ten Reminders for New Placements
Do you have a new placement on the way? Here are 10 things to keep in mind:
- Keep private any information the social worker shares with you about the child's history -- it is his or her story to tell
- Do share with your spouse/partner whatever the social worker tells you so they are as equipped as you are to support the child
- If anything the social worker has told you is concerning to you, let them know your concerns and fears so they can aid you with information and resources. Share any concerns with your spouse/partner too.
- Have something in hand to offer the child on arrival -- a welcome gift (does not need to be expensive)
- Prepare other

10 Things a Foster Parent Can Not Have Too Many Of
1. Toothbrushes – You can never have too many of them with foster children. Especially when strep throat, the flu or anything else cycles through your home, you need to stock up when they are on sale. 2. Suitcases or Duffel bags – If your foster child comes with anything besides the clothes they are wearing, most likely their belongs will be in trash sacks. So, it is helpful if you can stock up on suitcases and duffel bags for when your foster children need them. 3. Hairbrushes and Combs – Every foster child should leave your home with one. So, get them when you can. 4. Backpacks and School Supplies – I have only one child come with a backpack. So you will always be needing backpacks. The best time to stock up… [more]
10 Ways to Help Your Foster Child Deal with Feelings about Their Bio Families
1. Allow them to cry and grieve for the loss of their bio families, the connection to their past, and everything that has been familiar to them. 2. Allow them a place in their room to have a family photo or other things that are important to them. Even give them a little box or have them make a box (decorating a shoe box works well) to keep all their little treasures from the past and the future. 3. Finding a good therapist or play therapist can really help some children process their feelings and get beyond the pain of their life. 4. Do not judge what a child may feel, may not feel or how they deal with their feelings and things that has happened to them. 5. Should your foster child choose to share with you… [more]
10 Ways to Help and Encourage a Foster Child to Make Friends
1. Playing board games with your foster children and maybe even starting a family game night would be a great benefit. 2. Have a family member or family friend have the foster child over for a play date with one of their children. Age does not necessary have to be important in the beginning, a few years older or younger is not going to matter. In the beginning you are just allowing them a safe place to learn what children do and how they play. 3. Having a get together at your home with people that have children. This can be more… [more]
10 Ways To Help Reduce A Foster Child's Anxiety When Placed
1. Have pets put up. A large number of foster children are afraid of pets, so they need the time to adjust slowly. 2. I try and always have my other children around, so this helps ease the tension. My children usually will give the tour of the house showing the important things like toys, tv, movies, and the outside toys:) 3. We have an age appropriate movie and tv show on the tv, this seems to be comforting for them. It also helps when you are trying to do all the paperwork. 4. Have something ready for the children to drink (sippy cup if toddler) and sometimes a light snack. 5. If you are dealing with older children, give them a shelf to place their personal belongs and photos of their family. With younger children… [more]
10 Ways To Keep Your Sanity
1. Make some time for yourself even if it is only a long bubble bath. Do not give up the things that make you who you are (gardening, scrap booking, reading, painting, etc.). Mostly likely these activities that are important to you can be a great stress relief for you. 2. Do not let what people may say or the inappropriate questions that they feel is okay to ask you, get to you. 3. Prepare for a crisis by lining up a someone to help with the care of the children, if you should need it. With foster care it is probably more like when it will happen. You can almost that there will be a crisis (child falls needs stitches, a spouse gets hurt, a child has… [more]

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has charged a 24-year-old man with attempted murder for allegedly setting a homeless woman on fire as she slept on a suburban bus bench.
Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney says Dennis Petillo is scheduled to be arraigned January 7. Prosecutors will ask that his bail be set at $1.03 million.
In addition to attempted murder, he is charged with aggravated mayhem.
Carney alleges that Petillo threw a flammable liquid on the 67-year-old woman, who had slept on the bench for years, then set her on fire last Thursday.
The victim remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
If convicted, Petillo faces a maximum of life in state prison if convicted. It's not known if he has retained an attorney.
South Africa's presidency says former leader Nelson Mandela is progressing with his recuperation from illness and doctors are closely monitoring his condition.
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said Wednesday that "everything is moving OK" as 94-year-old Mandela rests at his home in Johannesburg after a hospital stay last month.
The former president received treatment for a lung infection and also had gallstones removed.
Maharaj says Mandela is "taking it easy" and is under "close medical attention."
Mandela spent 27 years in prison under apartheid and became South Africa's first black president in democratic elections in 1994.

Terry Glover joined Ebony in 2006 and was appointed managing editor in 2009 after serving as a senior editor for the website for three years.
Editor-in-Chief Amy DuBois Barnett says Glover was "the heart and soul" of the magazine's team and will be missed.
Ebony is published by Chicago-based Johnson Publishing Co.
Johnson Publishing Chairwoman Linda Johnson Rice says Glover was passionate about her work and made innumerable contributions to Ebony.

Kpademona Marcel and other residents of the capital of Central African Republic have watched in fear as rebels from the country's north seized control of more than half the country in less than a month. On Tuesday, all he could do was pray that a solution to the crisis could be found without the violence reaching Bangui.
"We are afraid for our nation and for our fellow citizens in the countryside," Marcel said, standing on the steps of the Notre Dame cathedral before a New Year's Day Mass. "The rebels are imposing themselves on the population and stealing things. We are here praying for peace."
As a new year began, the fate of the capital with 700,000 people, remained unclear. Government forces backed by a regional multinational force held a line in Damara, just 75 kilometers (45 miles) from Bangui. The rebels hold the city of Sibut, about 185 kilometers (115 miles) from Bangui.
While President Francois Bozize, after nearly a decade in power, has proposed a coalition government to include the rebels, a spokesman for the alliance of rebel groups advancing through the country said Monday they did not trust his offer. Former colonial power France already has said it will not protect Bozize's regime and has about 600 troops in the country just to protect its own interests.
Trucks full of soldiers bounced on the rutted roads of Bangui that are dotted with shacks where people can charge their mobile phones. Police officers stopped vehicles at intersections in another sign of stepped up security in this capital at the heart of Africa where even the banana and palm tree leaves are coated in heavy red dust from the earth.
Troops from neighboring nations arrived in the country, with a contingent from Gabon expected Tuesday. Their arrival comes a day after about 120 soldiers flew in from Republic of Congo with a mission to help stabilize the area between rebels and the government forces.
The political instability already has prompted the United States government to evacuate its ambassador and about 40 other people. There have been no mass civilian evacuations from the capital, though many residents have temporarily relocated to the southern side of Bangui, considered further from the path of a potential rebel invasion arriving from the north.
One woman in Bangui said she knew many people who already had fled the city but said she had too many family members to leave herself.
"I have five children and two grandchildren. I prefer to stay here and die with my children if it comes to that," she said, giving her name only as Lucienne.
In the Bimbo neighborhood, traders went about their business, selling everything from leafy greens to meat at roadside stands.
"We don't support what the rebels are doing," said banana farmer Narcisse Ngo, as a young boy played nearby with a monkey corpse for sale along with other meat. "They should be at the table negotiating without weapons. We are all Central Africans."
The landlocked nation of 4.4 million people is rich in diamonds, gold and uranium and yet remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Central African Republic has suffered many army revolts, coups and rebellions since gaining independence from France in 1960.
The rebels behind the current instability signed a 2007 peace accord allowing them to join the regular army, but insurgent leaders say the deal wasn't fully implemented and has made a variety of demands including payments to former combatants.

The platinum blonde's first hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known as a hell-raiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry.

Which Lady in White Is Most Fab?
by POPSUGAR Fashion 48 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Lady in red, begone — ladies in white are in full force. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicole Kidman, and Fergie all stepped onto Glamour's 2008 Women of the Year carpet in varying white gowns. Fergie (in Michael Kors) and Nicole (in L'Wren Scott) opted for floor-length while Sarah Michelle kept hers short. Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr also wore a long white J Mendel but to a different event — the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation's annual A Magical Evening Gala. Finally, Molly Sims attended a benefit for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund in a goddess-like white gown. It's clear these ladies shine in white, but which lady in white is most Fab?

Nicole and Jessica look gorgeous, although Nicole's skin tone is a little light for the white of the dress. But, still gorgeous. Molly also looks nice but I dislike her hairstyle. I have no idea why Fergie's boobs are so huge but she should not have worn that dress. And poor Sarah--why did she wear black stockings and heels with the white dress? That looks really weird.

jessica actually looks pretty for once. she always ends up looking like a raggedy ann doll next to the other gossip girls.

Fergie is either secretly in her 9th month of pregnancy or was augmented. I'ts just too enormous of a rack to be a wonderbra. If Jessica's dress wan't shreddy it would be a solid contender for a wedding dress.

HUGE SMG fan, and I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wanted to vote for her, but I just couldn't. NONE of them look good! The dresses are either ill fitting (Fergie) Wash them out completely (Nicole) have the wrong style (Sarah Michelle) or just plain don't look right on their bodies! (Molly & Jessice). Sorry girls, it's a miss all around for me!

Oh, Fergie, nooooo. Surprisingly, I think Jessica Szohr looks the best by far.

Molly looks nice, but I'm not wowed. Jessica's complexion works great against te champagne color of her dress (I voted for her). SMG looks silly with the black below her dress. She really does look like she's floating... Nicole is gorgeous but the fairness of her skin doesn't contrast very well with her dress. and while I have no problem with Fergie gaining weight for a role (very cool in Hollywood), I think her boobs throw off the balance of the gown.

I think all of them look pretty good :) And BTW, Fergie's boobs are bigger because she's put on about 13 pounds for her role in Nine, that's all...

Jessica's dress is the best!! Fergie's Pam Anderson look doesn't look good at all with the dress. Sarah M Gellar shouldn't have worn black tights with that white chiffon dress, it just doesn't go together :(

Actually none of them look that great to me. And SMG just looks absolutely funny with 'no legs'.

Apparently Fergie has to gain almost 15 pounds for her upcoming role in the movie/musical "Nine", thats why she bustin' out of that dress. My vote goes to Jessica

That shade of white on her makes her glow...and I loooove the choice of dress. I agree with Shanny about Sarah Michelle's tights. Where are her legs?? Maybe that's the mystery in the next Scooby Doo movie.

I'm very surprised that everyone picked Jessica. I don't like the shredded look of her dress... and SMG's choice of black tights on a black carpet is bad. I love Fergie's dress the most (although I don't really like it on her).

where are SMG's legs!? i don't like that she wore tights with this, even though it makes it more of a fall look, it doesn't fit with the dress or the event.

yeah, Fergie's boobs look gross, and I don't like her dress. Nicole looks fabulous but I hate that arm cuff. I don't like SMG's dress or the way she wore it with tights. Jessica looks gorgeous with a naked neck and elegant updo, but I hate the bottom of that dress. so I picked Molly becayse even though I don't like her look, I love that dress and I think it looks great on her...
