There's a big problem in social media right now. It's boring and predictable. That's one reason to celebrate apps like Snapchat and Facebook Poke, services that let you send photos, messages and videos with a built-in shelf life, that self-destruct after a time interval that you choose.

Support Apprenticeshop Programs through Custom Boat Design, Boat Restoration, and Traditional Boat Building Projects.
For almost forty years, the Apprenticeshop has been using traditional wooden boats as a vessel to teach patience, determination, cooperation and perseverance. In doing so, we have also built some of the most beautiful, purposeful boats designed for work and pleasure in the last 100 years.
Our Apprenticeship program is largely based on commissions, both philosophically and practically. As an educational tool, commissions allow apprentices to work on many different designs and gain experience in a wide variety of building techniques. When a 10' Abeking and Rasmussen yacht tender is being built next to a 24' lobster boat, a great deal of information is shared between crews as apprentices ask each other questions and discuss building techniques. Since other schools often build many boats of the same design, commissions make our program unique.
Boat For Sale
Introducing The Apprentice 15. This double-ended day sailor was designed by The Apprenticeshop's Kevin Carney and built at The Apprenticeshop. She boasts cedar on white oak, latpstrake construction, dynel deck with white oak trim, sitka spruce spars, and sails by Nat Wilson. Asking price $18,000.00. For more information, or to come look at The Apprentice 15 contact Margaret MacLeod or call the office at 207-594-1800.
Commission Boat Building
Commissions also support us practically, as a large portion of the shop operating budget comes from apprentice-built boats. Each boat that leaves the Shop earns valuable revenue which keeps our apprentice program affordable. Our tuition rates allow us to attract a diverse group of participants.
Boat Restoration
We also occasionally commission boat restorations. We evaluate restoration projects based on their value to Shop curriculum. Extensive wooden boat restorations that include work on various parts of the boat are often accepted as apprentice projects. Inquire further if you have a boat that you would like restored.
To speak directly with someone about boat designs and boat commissions, please call 207-594-1800 or send us an email.

This only works on my aluminum macbook, and iMac, it does not work on my mac pro with 30'' ACD.
Adjust brightness from Terminal
Yeah, unfortunately Apple doesn't have a documented way of controlling brightness over USB. The documented method only works with built-in and ADC displays.
Use the version I linked above (http://sabi.net/nriley/software/brightness.zip) instead; it uses the same method as the Displays preference pane does.

HoopsHype New York rumors
The Nets are a basketball calamity of the highest order, co-authors of a New York basketball season in desperate need of that most New York of sporting creations, the do-over. "We're not just losing," Nets guard Tyshaun Taylor said of his team, though he could well have been speaking for the Knicks as well. "We're getting killed." New York Post
After yet another loss for his New York Knicks in what's been a trying — not to mention 3-9 — start to the season, Carmelo Anthony did not attempt to pretend everything is wonderful right now. "It's a very tough time," Anthony said. "This is a time where you could easily put your head down and mope around, but I can't do that." Taking their poor home-court play on the road, the Knicks allowed Washington's John Wall to score 31 points and dropped into a last-place tie in the Atlantic Division by getting beaten 98-89 at the Wizards on Saturday night. USA Today Sports
When Kidd had forsaken the Mavericks to join the New York Knicks after his contract with the Mavericks expired in 2012, after having committed to return, Cuban said he'd never consider retiring Kidd's number. And now? "I just have to decide how to do it, because there's a lot of guys from those years' teams," Cuban said. "While J. Kidd is a Hall of Famer, he wasn't really a Hall of Famer who spent most of his career here. He had some great years here, but so did a lot of guys. It's not really a reflection on J. Kidd. It's more a reflection of how I want to deal with it. Do I want to do a Ring of Honor? Put a team in and honor all the guys on the team? I don't know. I haven't decided yet." Dallas Morning News
Earlier this week, Marc Berman of the New York Post reported that the Knicks were attempting to acquire recently cut big man Jeremy Tyler's NBA D-League rights. RidiculousUpside.com can now confirm through our own sources that such an attempt is (still) going on. Interestingly enough, however, such a deal wouldn't technically be brokered through the Knicks and Warriors, but rather each one's respective NBADL affiliates. The (Santa Cruz) Warriors own Tyler's rights from last season, when he helped lead the way towards his team's D-League Finals appearance. The tricky question now is, what do the BayHawks have to trade, and what might the Warriors desire back in return to have in Santa Cruz? Erie's best player from last season, Henry Sims, is now a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ridiculous Upside
New York native Metta World Peace will make his regular-season debut for the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden to play the Milwaukee Bucks, and World Peace wanted to make his first journey to the Garden on game day a special one. World Peace took the New York City subway's F-train from Queensbridge to its 34th street stop in Manhattan, much to the surprise of the other riders. Newsday reporter Jim Baumbach rode along with World Peace to chronicle his trip. For The Win
A year ago on Tuesday, Brett Yormark, chief executive of the Brooklyn Nets NBA basketball team, was watching his team play its first game in its new home after a move from New Jersey to New York. Twelve months on, and the 10-mile move to Brooklyn now looks inspired, with an expensively assembled "super-team" of stars, playing in front of bigger audiences in a new arena. "In every respect the move has been transformational," Mr Yormark tells the BBC News website. "We have moved a few miles but we could have moved to the other side of the country, such is the difference. We got more buy-in from New York people than we expected. "The resources we have at our disposal are now so different." BBC
While the Wizards continue to figure out how to carry on without him, Emeka Okafor is rehabilitating and recovering under the supervision of a cervical spine specialist in New York. Out indefinitely with a herniated disk in his neck, Okafor participated in Wizards media day festivities and the team dinner in Virginia later that evening. But the veteran big man returned to New York – where he also maintains his offseason home with his wife and newborn daughter – before the team started practicing at George Mason. Washington Post
Kobe Bryant has the third-most popular selling NBA jersey worldwide, according to the league. Based on global sales from Adidas, LeBron James of the Miami Heat topped the list for the first time in his career. Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls placed second. The Lakers star finished ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant, who was followed by Miami's Dwyane Wade at No. 5 and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks at No. 6. Los Angeles Times
Just a few months after signing Dwight Howard in an $88 million megadeal, Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander was relatively frugal while shopping for apartments in New York City. Alexander recently completed the sale of a duplex penthouse on the 17th and 18th floors of 18 Gramercy Park South for a cool $42 million, which is just under half of what he paid for the Houston Rockets franchise in 1993 ($85 million). The residence is one of the most exclusive in the city, and Alexander will receive a key to his own private park, which only residents are allowed to enter. For The Win
Wall, who recently celebrated his 23rd birthday in New York, looked like he will be ready to go full bore during training camp as he lead his Blue team to a 111-95 victory in a game that also featured NBA players Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Brandon Knight, Patrick Patterson and Terrence Jones. DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe, Wall's good friends and former teammates for one year at Kentucky, were assistant coaches and helped get the most out of him — with a little reverse psychology. "E. Bled told me I wasn't going to get 40, so I went to go get 40," Wall proclaimed to reporters after the game. Washington Post
On the 12th anniversary of 9-11, NBA Cares has released a video of Mason Plumlee honoring New York's firefighters, one of whom is his uncle. Plumlee attends a fund-raising breakfast for an NYFD charity and he talks about the sacrifices the firefighters make, including the greatest sacrifice that 343 of them made on 9-11. NetsDaily
Sports, science and technology are converging at an all-time pace and eight NBA teams are experimenting with a new device designed to optimize and personalize training regiments, thus the ability to maximize performance and reduce injury. The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, plus four other teams that have chosen to keep their identities secret, have invested in these complex GPS tracking devices created by the Australian company Catapult Sports, the self-professed leader in "athlete analytics." "We just want to be able to get smarter about our players and how to train them and how to put them in a position to succeed," said Mavs owner Mark Cuban. "So that's just one component of a lot of different things that we're doing." NBA.com
Ian Begley: Ex-#Knick Cuttino Mobley dismissed his suit against Madison Square Garden today, the Southern District Court of New York announced. Twitter @IanBegley
New York Knicks' superstar power forward Amar'e Stoudemire has joined a group in talks to buy Israeli basketball club Hapoel Jerusalem, he tweeted on Friday. Stoudemire tweeted that he is "excited to join the partnership that is giving back to the city of Jerusalem by offering the Hapoel basketball team a fresh start." Jerusalem Post
Lance Stephenson is back in his hometown this weekend for a special honor. The 22-year-old had his No. 1 jersey retired at Lincoln High School in New York Saturday evening before the school's alumni game. A replica now hangs in the rafters (as seen above) next to Sebastian Telfair's No. 31. Stephenson won the city basketball championship in each of his four years at Lincoln and concluded his high school career as New York's all-time leading scorer (2,946 points). In 2009, he was named New York's Mr. Basketball and finished with 12 points, six assists and three steals in the McDonald's All-American game. Pacers.com
Of course it was Dan Le Batard. The Miami Herald and ESPN reporter is taking credit as the only one to vote against James for the regular season MVP, instead electing to vote for the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony. And now he's paying (read: trolling everyone by retweeting every single person who tweets him incredulously) the price. Deadspin.com
Mike D'Antoni's exit from the Big Apple was unceremonious at best, but the former New York Knicks head coach may have the last laugh if he's able to get his asking price for his estate in Rye, NY. Roughly five years since he inked a 4- year, $24 million contract with New York and nearly a year removed from his resignation (and with his new team, the Los Angeles Lakers, fighting for their playoff lives), the coach fondly known as "Pringles" is finally getting around to selling the suburban New York home. D'Antoni and his wife, Laurel, purchased the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom Colonial in late 2008, shortly after joining the Knicks. The couple is said to have paid $5.75 million for the 7,142-square-foot estate, which was built in 2004, but look to make a considerable profit on the home after listing it for $6.95 million. Realtor
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Childhood in the city is pretty different now. There's not a whole lot of ethnic neighborhoods anymore. They've taken all the people in New York and put them in a blender, and they land in chunks and puddles in various parts of the city. It's a city of workaholics, where the successful really live well. You see that, and you want to join their ranks. I remember I saw a man get out of a Rolls-Royce—the man was Caucasian, and his driver was black. I said to the driver, "I'm gonna have a car like that one day." New York Magazine

With the NBA trade deadline 16 days away, why not start imagining what GM Danny Ainge can do with this Boston Celtics roster. There are a few movable pieces who can help teams looking to complete their playoff-bound rosters. First on the chopping block: PF Brandon Bass.
Bass can offer solid defense at both the three and four spots and has a silky mid-range game. His contract (Two more years, roughly $13.5 million left) isn't desirable, but there are much worse contracts teams could trade for with a player of Bass's caliber. Teams can certainly use Bass for a playoff push. Here are the three most likely destinations for Bass and his contract:

Comtesse Thérèse has been producing wine commercially for thirteen vintages (2001 – 2013). Starting in 2001, fruit was procured from other North Fork of Long Island vineyards. From 2005 onward, grapes have been supplied by the estate vineyard in Aquebogue. Total annual case production started in 2001 with 550 cases, growing to approximately 1000 cases annually. Theresa Dilworth, home wine and beermaker and self-taught in commercial winemaking, is Head Winemaker.
The Consultant Winemaker is Patrick Clementz, since September 2011. Working at Premium Wine Group since early 2010, he spent the preceding six years as Assistant Winemaker at Wolffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, working with Roman Roth. A native of Germany, Patrick is from the Alsace region, where some of Theresa's ancestors are from.
Before that, Patrick worked as an assistant winemaker at WG Auggen in Auggen, Germany. He has a Master's degree in Winemaking from Lehr und Versuchsanstalt, Weinberg, Germany. His family owns vineyards in Oberrotweil, Germany, where he has been involved since childhood in the growing and upkeep of grapevines as well as the picking and selling of grapes to local wineries.
Starting in 2005, Comtesse Thérèse began making small quantities of hand-crafted wine at the estate vineyard in Aquebogue, New York. However, the majority of the winemaking is done at Premium Wine Group (PWG), the custom production facility in Mattituck, Long Island. Similar to the Napa Valley Wine Co. in California, PWG makes no wine of its own, but provides state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and personnel for the making of fine wines by its clients. Founded in 2000, it is the only such facility on the east coast of the US. PWG clients supply the grapes, yeasts, barrels, bottles, labels, and explicit winemaking instructions to PWG, which provides the labor, equipment and space.
Russell Hearn is the Director of PWG, which has seven full-time employees and 110 wine tanks. PWG processes over 1,000 tons of fruit into 60,000 cases annually, for about 15 vineyards on Long Island, upstate New York and New England. See their website at www.premiumwinegroup.com
As a general rule, the red wines undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Indigenous, natural "wild" yeasts naturally occurring on the grape skins are used for primary fermentation. Cool temperatures are used for red wine fermentation. Malolactic or secondary fermentation is also allowed to take place spontaneously, using the malolactic bacteria naturally present in the wine. The malolactic fermentation takes place in the steel tanks, and then the wines are moved to barrels for aging for six to 18 months. The red wine is not fined or filtered.
The chardonnay is 100% barrel-fermented in Russian oak barrels using wild yeasts, and may undergo partial malolactic fermentation, depending on the vintage. The rosé and the blanc de noir, made by the process of saignée, or bleeding off the clear juice from red grapes, are steel-fermented.
The type of barrels (oak species, forests, toasting levels, cooperage houses), length of barrel aging, frequency of racking, and other aging techniques vary according to variety and vintage. Comtesse Thérèse is one of the few wineries in the U.S. to use Hungarian oak and Russian oak barrels, in addition to French oak and American oak, and is the first on the East Coast of the U.S. to use Canadian oak barrels.

PROVIDENCE – A federal judge in Rhode Island has sided with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer sued by the widow of a Chinese immigration detainee, The Associated Press reported last week.
Hiu Lui "Jason" Ng, a 34-year-old computer engineer from New York City, died while in custody at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls.
Federal immigration authorities had concluded that Ng was neglected and denied appropriate medical care before dying of advanced liver cancer. After his death, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials faulted the prison for mistreating Ng, removed its 153 immigrant prisoners and terminated its contract with the jail.
The AP said the judge's order dismissing claims against ICE Operations Coordinator Lawrence Smith was filed last week in Providence. Ng's death came about a week after he met with Smith in Hartford, Conn.
The decision means no more federal employees are named in the lawsuit, which accuses Wyatt staff of abusing and medically neglecting Ng, the AP said. •

A trendy hotel with a great location
Location, discount for AAA
$30 a day parking when I'm staying at the hotel.
Best place to stay for location comfort and friendliness. Bar next door has excellent service and food. Atmosphere was the best
The hotel location is close to beach and 3rd street.
-Some flying insects found. -No breakfast.
I like the location because it's so close to every restaurants, clubs, shops. But the hotel has only three stories so you can't get any ocean view from your balcony because of high trees. And the worst thing is so noisy out there because it is just located on the road. I like parking service people so much but the fee is expensive, $30 per a day. I'd rather recommend to use a public parking on the third street and Broadway. Free for first an hour and half and $14 per 24 hours.
Poor room service. The room was so messy even though it was after room service. They even don't have wine glasses. The front guy is so rude. The hotel was newly renovated but I guess they used cheap things so it didn't look nice.
Brilliant location and nice room. Helpful staff.
Payment system wasn't good - billed my credit card for the total amount when I was supposed to be sharing the payment with my friend. Was told it could take up to 10 days for the money to be returned into my account. Also only a small detail but they ran out of tea bags and couldn't seem to find one for me anywhere!
renovations very good rooms..clean and well planned rooms
Only location
People who work thear
The location of this hotel is fabulous and the lobby is gorgeous! The bathroom was also beautiful. Our reservation was for three nights but due to the condition of the hotel, we talked to the front desk staff who were more than polite and understanding and accepted our request to leave after just the first night..
The hotel is still being renovated and we were not made aware of this when we booked. The website listed 2 queen beds but the beds were not much bigger than doubles. Way too much furniture in the room which left no room to move around. The balcony faced the ocean but was covered in plastic due to the outside being painted and we couldn't sit out there. No point in paying extra for a view balcony if it's unavailable. Because of the painting that was underway it smelled so toxic in the room and caused me some headaches! Other than the lobby, the corridors are old and in disrepair and smell musty! I feel that the repairs and renovations should be noted during the reservation process and at least give clients the opportunity to stay elsewhere. I also think the room rates should be discounted while under renovations.
-location is perfect for Santa Monica, right near the beach and pier, the bus stops, hop on hop off stop, the beat reastaurant and bars are in hte near buildings, the 3d street with shops is in 2 mins walk, the big supermarket is in 7 mins walk - wi fi in the room - good design of the hotel and rooms - also this hotel good for business trips
- small room - no breakfast
Location was great room was clean and comfortable
The price was a bit steep
Nicely refurbished Excellent location
Inconsistent customer service - a good hotel could become an excellent one easily if reception staff were more welcoming!
Beautiful view, very modern and clean.
Limited movie channels. Would of like to order a movie or watch one on cable. Wasn't able to.
The view was amazing!!! The bed was comfy and the bathroom was nicely remodeled.
That I had to use my last name for wifi people can get this info.
Courteous staff, delicious complimentary snacks and beverages. Room was very modern and comfortable.
We didn't get the upgraded room we opted for. However staff did give us a balcony room at the last second.
Staff was great help, front desk was very accommodating.. Loved the ocean view from our balcony..first thing in the morning.. Beautiful feeling!!
Nice staff, newly remodeled location, comfy beds, clean room
Still doing construction so it was kinda dusty every where
It was very central . There are lots of restaurants , shops and a cinema nearby .The staff were helpful.
The hotel doesn't have a gym
The location was excellent, the pub next door being very handy ;) Beds were super comfy. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Friendly staff
Lack of microwave, expensive parking fees,rooms not cleaned fully, phone did not work on arrival
Room door does not close tightly, there was a gap making noise.
The room its 5 star not 3 star
Great location overlooking the beach and Santa Monica pier. Round the corner from restaurants and shopping area. Near enough for all tours of LA. Hotel clean, staff very helpful and friendly. We were on a budget and sharing a room with our kids so had two double beds. Sufficient room for the four of us. Would definitely consider going back if we were to go back to Santa Monica.
No food or room service available which we were not aware of when booking. Although plenty of restaurants nearby. Work was being carried out on the reception area .... but this can only be of benefit in the long run.

Think of it as Pottery Barn for Millennials – plus clothing. How serious is this effort? Very. Executives from parent company Urban Outfitters Inc. last month said the nameplate will cut apparel from 71% of the assortment to 53% to blow out its home assortment, which now accounts for just 17% of sales.

In his second TV spot, released Thursday, Cincinnati City Council candidate Greg Landsman continues his theme of "we need things cleaned up at city hall." Unlike his first TV ad – a light-hearted look at him cleaning up after his young kids — this time it's a straight-faced Landsman and an Avondale resident, the latter touting Landsman's work in former Gov. Ted Strickland's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.
Landsman's campaign also released some numbers. It said it will reach one goal by knocking on its 25,000th door on Sunday, with plans now to knock on 30,000 by Election Day. And the campaign said it has raised more than $232,000.

Obama to meet Romney ThursdayPresident Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House. (AP)
Wed, November 28, 2012 - 2:33 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republican's ideas.
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White House's private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the "gifts" Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
"The president's campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift," Romney said.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romney's comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where he's involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff."
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush. Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The White House sees Obama's victory as a signal that Americans support his tax proposals.
Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.
Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.
Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. He's spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.
Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaign's national finance chairman.

Why he wants to meet with this shape shifter is beyond me. Why does he want ideas from a man who willingly hides his assets in foreign countries? Why does Mr. Obama want to meet with a man who not so long ago demeaned his character incessantly? Why does he feel the need to cozy up to these people who hate him? Mr. Obama, why do you want to talk to this man who lies without batting an eye? Is he going to discuss the supposedly free stuff you handed out to win the election?
God Almighty, let's hope he doesn't offer him some cabinet post.

It's called being magnanimous in victory. In other words, the victor treats his defeated opponent with grace and dignity. It's a quality sadly lacking nowadays.
Now some will assert that President Obama had a political/ulterior motive for inviting Mr. Romney to lunch with him at the White House. That his reason for the invite may not have necessarily been altruistic. There may be some truth to this. However, since it's impossible to truly know what's in a person's mind, we have to accept the invitation at face value unless something pops up to lead us to believe otherwise.
If one digs deep enough and sometimes just beyond the surface, one will find all and more of the things of which D. Stoute accuses Mr. Romney in far too many politicians, local or international. It's the nature of the beast we call politics. A dirty, filthy game that men and women play. The very few righteous politicians who seek no more than to be the people's servant and not to lord it over anyone as opposed to gaining riches, fame/notoriety and the like, must feel as isolated as a person sentenced to solitary confinement on an island.
I'm praying that the Lord will raise up GOD-fearing, selfless men and women of decency, character, honesty, integrity, intelligence/wisdom, who will take over the political reins of nations and rule righteously on behalf of the Lord and therefore for the people. Men and women who won't be afraid to speak the truth in any matter.
Am asking my Christian brothers/sisters irrespective of your location, to pray long and intensely that the great GOD whom we serve, will hear us and work through us to bring healing and salvation to the nations. Thanks.
- Posted by D. Stoute 1 year, 11 months ago
@Randy Bridgeman: A little historical research indicates that magnanimity has absolutely nothing to do with Obama's post-election meeting with Romney the White House. It is a long-standing tradition (of which I was unaware) in US presidential politics.
In all the presidential elections I've observed in the US, to my recollection this post-election meeting seems to have been the most public. There really was no ulterior motive on Obama's part; much to my relief, he was simply following presidential tradition.

Being a voting member of the American Medical Association House of Delegates means being part of an exclusive club—but apparently it doesn't mean you always feel like voting.
Minutes after the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions was admitted into the House of Delegates at the delegates' annual meeting this week in Chicago, House Speaker Dr. Andrew Gurman of Pennsylvania instructed the group's lone delegate, Dr. Joe Babb of North Carolina, to go to registration and pick up his credentials.
He was also told to sit where there was an electronic vote "clicker" waiting for him.
According to an AMA Board of Trustees report, Babb's group was founded in 1978 and has 2,185 members, 562 of whom are AMA members (25.7%). And the AMA may need to add more new member groups as its meeting goes on if Monday's lethargic-voting trend continues.
The meeting officially began with the announcement that 490 out of 504 AMA delegates (97%) registered for the meeting. Before the actual voting started, there was a test of the clickers that indicated 460 voting delegates were in attendance. When the last vote of day was taken, some three and a half hours later, only 405 delegates clicked in.
Most decisions are made via voice vote, with the clickers reserved for those that are too close to call.
The voice votes, however, were marked by lethargy as well.
After a quiet vote marked the approval an AMA Council on Ethical Judicial Affairs report on physician responsibilities for safe patient discharge from healthcare facilities, Gurman took the delegates to task.
"There are more than 20 of you out there, but it is adopted," he said. "Let's get in the game."
Vice Speaker Dr. Susan Bailey of Texas didn't have much luck in energizing the House.
After a particularly quiet vote approving an amendment to a resolution, she noted that the measure passed and then added that it did so by a 3-2 vote.

Problems of Bidikmisi Start Forging Light
Sigmanews - Since January 2013 crisscrossing the liquid funds Bidikmisi program finally began to find a bright spot.
Reportedly, the problem occurs in the center of the new management system launched by Higher Education. The issue of the money going straight down to the account without intermediaries' college student, it's true.
This is evidenced by the ongoing activities of the opening of new accounts by some State Universities are deliberately organized to follow the new melting system.
To note, the previous disbursement system is the money sent down from the center to the KPPN (State Treasury), after funding was KPPN then the college will make SPM (Payment Order) along with the Rector's Decree.
So the party that had been disbursed KPPN and send the cost of living scholarships to beneficiaries, not the college. The college only gives SPM if the funds are already in KPPN then KPPN sent to the student account. If there is any fault of the college, the only problem that has not gone down Rector.
Unlike delivered from a facebook group bidikmisi in one famous campus in the city of Bandung, told that this year will be held in the new melting system, the Budget Disbursement System 2013. Scholarships living expenses for all recipients will be disbursed directly from the center, and the Bank was the winning tender, not anymore Bank BNI.
Thus, there will be the opening of new accounts to all students enrolled to be held by Bank Mandiri. There is information that the Bank will directly come to campus for the opening of new accounts. This can lead to delayed disbursement bidikmisi this month.
From this information, it can be seen that the performance of the management of the fund. Of a delay in the disbursement of the management of the centers definitely less vigilant.
It is a pleasure for the evaluation of Higher Education and all the institutions associated with the disbursement of funds bidikmisi, so that in the future they can be more sensitive to the risks arising from the delay in the melt. (Pm / reporter: Intan Pertiwi)

The Folk hero is here to stay! As reported by Andy Lange on Twitter, The Jets have signed late game hero kicker Nick Folk to a multi year deal shortly after placing the franchise tag on him. This will likely secure Folk for 3-4 years at a relatively low rate considering he is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. Although figures have not been revealed yet I expect this to be something around a 10 million dollar deal for 3 to 4 years. Depending on how clever Idzik got the monetary sum couyld be as low as 8 million, although we will have to wait and see. Either way one of our most consistent scoring weapons in past years is here to stay, and we still have plenty of room under the cap to make a splash in this free agency period. For now one aspect of the team is solidified.
Here is the original tweet from Andy Lange:
Nick Folk has signed a multiyear deal with the New York Jets. http://t.co/11y2gBMDiA pic.twitter.com/KwiG7RRbk6

In other news: OT Austin Howard has reached free agency now that the team and Howard's agents couldn't come to an agreement before the free-agency period. Austin Howard came by way of the Eagles and was an ascending developmental player. Considering how fast offensive linemen are getting snagged up in free agency, Idzik will have to act fast to shore up a strong O-line for next season.

Kimberly's "Very Betsey" Room
room for color contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Kimberly
- Location:
- Bronxville, NY
- Division:
- Warm
- Inspiration for my palette:
- I knew i wanted a bold pink room-- originally my plan was to paint the entire room this "crushed berry" color. Once I found this fainting couch in hot pink and learned i could customize it, I knew putting it against the pink walls would be too much. The room revolves around my pink accent wall and I couldn't be happier with the result! My living room is my largest room in my apartment. I wanted it to be bright and welcoming without being too overpowering. I purchased this Betsey Johnson artwork from her personal studio when it was closing which also helped me to see how this pink ties in with other colors. The whole room is definitely very Betsey!
- Colors used in my room
- The colors i have used in my living room are hot pink (crushed berry), various shades of gray/blue and yellow/gold.
- Tips for using color successfully
- My best tip? Don't be afraid! Everyone tried to tame me and talk me out of my color choices-- now they are all telling me how wonderful it looks! I knew if I didn't like it I could always paint over it-- nothing is permanent, so why not try?

Room for Color 2013

Very Betsy indeed! It's gorgeous. Successfully bold and fun.
Wish I had the courage to do a pink like this! I love it! Truly fitting of the "Room for Color" title.
Wow, I really love this. What an excellent and thorough job you did combining it all! Do you think that the scale of the frame on the awesome art is a bit small? Would an oversized white matted frame make it pop more and fill it more wall space? Or would that take away too much from your gorgeous pink wall?
Vanessa-- i totally agree with the scale of the photo-- Ive renovated this entire apartment and furnished it in just under 6 months! Either i will re-frame or put some others next to it-- its a detail i haven't gotten to yet, honestly. It meant so much to me to be able to own a piece of her artwork that i just had to put it on my wall! What do you suggest?

I actually think a pink chaise in front of a pink wall would be pretty great!
Also, the picture of the cat looks like its paw has become detached from its body...
A color girl after my own heart. The chaise lounge feels like it needs a little table, lamp and something near it. It looks a little lonely.
I love it! What an amazing room. I would totally understand if you don't want other art on the "Betsey" wall, that painting is such a knockout. Maybe a larger frame (matted?) or even just lower on the wall?
I love that this is a TV room too...I always feel like my television takes away from the design but with your funky console, yours just blends in. Awesome!
Love the fuschia and the kitty.
This is my favorite room so far! Love the rug - where did you find it?
LOVE this room!! The only thing I would change is the area with the chaise - it looks a bit bare and unfinished. Maybe a side table with a lamp, or even just a stack of books would dress it up.
Oh! And a funky vintage or silver tray on the brown ottoman might look nice, but that's just my opinion. :)
Thanks!! Its a Suzani rug-- i lucked out and found it at the Bloomingdales tent sale on MEGA sale!! I've been eyeing it since December!
ive been scouring ebay and vintage shops for a cool tray for the ottoman! It is actually the only piece i don't love. I ordered it as shimmery gold leather and it sort of just sits there and needs some help. Would you put the able on the left of the chaise? There are two sconces right above it so a floor lamp wouldnt be right-- a smaller decorative lamp could be super cute! Its still a work in progress <3
Thanks! I've been eyeing this rug since before i even closed on the apartment! I saw it at Bloomingdales back in December. Its a Suzani from Pakistan. I got so lucky and found it at the Bloomingdales tent sale on MEGA sale <3
Well done!!
I thought the same thing about the cat's paw - but now I see the "detached" object is just the tassel part of a wand toy. The cat is holding its two front paws together. Whew!
Great room, Kimberley! IMHO the art would stand out beautifully on the gray wall near the left sconce. Then you could sit on the sofa and admire it. (I can imagine something golden over the sofa; a gold-framed ornate mirror or a sunburst, etc . . . )
This space is truly unique. While the bright pink is not to my taste (I like earth tones and greens), it is cheery and personal.
The ottoman was a bit off-putting. I thought it was brown, but then I think the owner said it was a metallic color. I would drape a fringed scarf or throw on one side, swirl it a bit, and let it drift off the edge. I would put a small try on the other side of the ottoman with a bright pink potted orchid and a candle in a crystal holder.
~~~~~~~~~Your Living Room is Insanely Gorgeous~~~~~
i swoon.
That chaise is everything.
Looks great. I love the Betsy looks and colors.
bold and feminine. i really like it. perhaps betsey might get a very large white matte and bigger frame to contrast with the wall, or are you planning a salon wall?

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Multicultural
This is a delightful and insightful installment in the Match Made series, in which Melanie herself gets caught up in a romance that has her thinking about her life's direction. Previous books in the series were written by Rochelle Alers and Celeste O. Norfleet and the progression from one author to the next is seamless.
Melanie's next matchmaking challenge is Senatorial Chief of Staff Claude Montgomery. The only problem is their intense attraction and subsequent liaison. Melanie goes against every rule she ever set for herself and has to decide whether she will pursue her own happiness or sublimate her needs for the good of the business.
Claude's rationale for seeking her service is sound on one level, but he's unsure how to proceed when he thinks she is handing him over to another woman without a fuss. Also on Melanie's radar is Rafe Lawson, son of the senator that Claude works for, who is also a client of her company. His interest in Mel gives her a chance to see clearly the difference between her attraction to Claude and the harmless flirtation with Rafe. (KIMANI/ARABESQUE, Aug., 304 pp., $6.99)

Something tawdry is showy but cheap and of poor quality.
To find the source of this word we must travel to Ely, a city whose cathedral dominates the flat fen landscape of East Anglia. Long before the cathedral was built, a small religious house had been established there in the seventh century by Ethelreda, the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia. She died in 679. Sixty years later the Venerable Bede wrote that her death had been caused by a growth in her throat, which she had said was a punishment for wearing necklaces in her youth.
She eventually became the patron saint of Ely, under the Norman French name of St Audrey, and her feast day, 17 October, was celebrated by a fair. One of the favourite items sold was a band of fine silk lace or ribbon worn about the neck in memory of the city's patron saint. This became known as St Audrey's lace, but by the end of the sixteenth century it had been corrupted to tawdry lace.
Eventually the first word was taken to be a description; by the nature of goods sold at fairs they often looked good until the buyer got them home, so the word became attached to such cheap and showy items, and not just at Ely.

Barclays has hired its 500th apprentice, marking an important milestone in the bank's programme to help tackle youth unemployment.
The milestone was celebrated at events for the first 500 Barclays apprentices taking place in London, Coventry, Cheshire and Newcastle today. At the events Barclays apprentices discussed ways of tackling youth unemployment with senior executives and also mapped out their career plans for the future.
A further 500 apprentices will be recruited by June 2013 bringing the total to 1,000.
New figures which survey the first 500 apprentices show the real impact the programme is making by providing genuine opportunities for young people to get into work and start developing their careers through quality apprenticeships.
Ashok Vaswani, Chief Executive of Barclays Retail and Business Banking met with over 100 Barclays apprentices in London and said:
"As a bank one of the best investments you can make is in your people. We've given 500 young people that vital first opportunity to get into work, and will support a further 500 in the coming months.
"A year ago less than one per cent of our front-line staff were aged under 21, now we have a wide range of young people up and down the country who are rolling up their sleeves, learning the ropes and working hard for our customers. They are a real credit to Barclays.
"Most important is not the number of apprentices but the quality of the opportunities we help inject into each individual's career. Our ambition is for our apprentices to go on to either become senior leaders at Barclays in future, or to have rewarding careers wherever they may go. That is the real test for our programme"
The 500th Barclays apprentice is Ross McMahon, aged 18, from Milton in Glasgow. Ross will shortly begin working in the Barclays Glasgow City Centre branch and said :
"It took me a long time to find the job I really wanted. I was working part-time as a cashier in a kiosk and really liked building a relationship with customers. But what I really wanted was a full-time permanent job that would give me the opportunity to progress my career and take on more responsibility over time.
"I'd never heard of an apprenticeship in a bank before as I thought it was just for joiners and electricians so I think its good there are opportunities for people with customer skills like me. I'm really looking forward to getting started, my new manager has a similar background as me and has given me a warm welcome, and I hope to go on to bigger things."
Regional figures show that a large proportion of apprentices are from areas of high youth unemployment where Barclays also has customer contact centres such as Wavertree, Sunderland and Coventry.
Barclays started recruiting apprentices in April 2012 under a groundbreaking programme which focuses on the quality of apprenticeship:

The distant and painful recovery
Julia Ioffe's TNR profile of Nouriel Roubini is better than most, if a little bit on the fawning side; it's noteworthy for delving more into his biography and background than other profiles of Nouriel that I've seen. It also ends with a glimmer of optimism:
He's been thinking a lot not just about the way down but the way out. With the help of the Obama administration's policies (not great, he says, but better than nothing), he sees "a light at the end of the tunnel." To actually get to the end of it, though, the United States will have to get used to consuming less, which means China, Germany, and Japan will have to get used to producing less, which means that all the intermediaries–Chile, Australia, Brazil–will have to scale back and turn inward like everyone else. The world may curve and warp a bit, and it will be difficult, but Roubini sees good in this. Given the right changes, perhaps the United States can develop with the productive long view in mind, and maybe its human talent can be spread more equitably. "When you have more financial engineers than computer engineers, you know that the brightest minds have gone into something where, probably, the margin was excessive," he had told me earlier. "Maybe some of these bright people are going to do something entrepreneurial, more creative, or go into government. I think that's actually a good change. The transition is painful, but the result may be good."
I had tea yesterday with a very bright mathematician and computer scientist who, in the wake of the financial crisis, is not going to go work for a hedge fund as he'd anticipated. Instead, he's packing up his bags and moving — with his fiancée — to Kaust, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, which he described as having a faculty like Caltech's and an endowment like Harvard's. All that money will be put to many uses, of course, but the main object of study will be the future of the energy industry — which is surely a much more useful and productive place to use one's intelligence than the finance industry.
Interestingly, the mathematician was still in a bull-market mindset: after a 25-year bull market and an 18-month bear market, he seemed to expect that markets would start rebounding again in no time, and indeed that the rebound might already have started. That kind of thinking is going to take a long time to eradicate, I think.
So over the long term, I'm optimistic that the redeployment of US human resources away from finance and into the real economy is bound to be a good thing. But in the medium term, the process of "scaling back and turning inwards" around the globe is going to be extremely painful — and is far from over. Or, to put it a more familiar way, things are going to get worse before they get worse. Only very slowly and very painfully might they start to get better — and it's not going to happen any time soon.

I briefly flanced over their faculty. A very small UC maybe. Higher than Calstate for sure.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the bull market that started in 1982 flipped to a bear market about a decade ago, not 18 months ago.
But I suppose that is good news if we are waiting for a secular bear to go into hibernation.
"When you have more financial engineers than computer engineers, you know that the brightest minds have gone into something where, probably, the margin was excessive,"… and, oh by the way, where there was far less competition from far cheaper employees in developing nations. US computer engineers are an endangered species, because there is no geographic constraint on job execution. This won't change until US salaries (for any job that can be performed remotely via technology) have come down to par with the rest of the world, because "cost containment" is the new mantra for US businesses. Can anyone explain how to build an economic renewal on a foundation of ever-depressing wages?
These "best and brightest" have shown themselves to be short term greed masters to an almost sociopathic scale.Im sorry but Im sure anywhere they go disaster will follow.We dont need more Gorden Geckos running anything.
