Lessons for all to learn
Judge finds Mays, Richmond delinquent
March 18, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — Everyone involved in the rape case against two Steubenville High School student-athletes said it should be used as a life lesson for parents and teenagers....
@duanewebb, keep up the good fight. I know it's hard to endure the world of government worshipping zombies, but remember it is "he that endureth to the end."

I am a racist, yet the true and original term as it could be easily understood has been perverted, just as the term rape and so many other terms, by the demonic fame seekers in this country. The actual racist term does not imply supremacy or hate and can be so little as acknowledging there are races. I do see there is a racial hatred at work in this case and some of that did at least filter into the insane mob and those government officals who were happy please them just because of their mere numbers.

@duaneWebb, very true, as a collector of government corruption articles, I have never seen a "formal" lynching in my lifetime such as this. @stbvpride, yes but there is no lynch mob, lawyers straight from the att. gen, appointed judges looking for cheap fame, on the other side

GerriM, I don't know you and I could really care less about what you think. More than likely, you are probably just some angry person (perhaps black, perhaps part black, perhaps not black at all) clinging to victimhood because you believe that it is a racial issue. To that I offer this friendly advice; GROW UP! I have some more advice, learn to understand the written word. Also, before passing judgement it would help to know at least a little about a person before you accuse them of somthing.

GerriM, You are accusing me of racism for making a statment that was meant to express an opinion on how people in general get too soft a punishment. My posts, opinions, etc, are not written to appease every single person that reads them. You are entitled to yours as well. What you are saying is like calling someone a racist for making relish plates with pepperchinis, green olives, greek olives, pickled tomatoes, pickled califlower, but forgetting to put black olives on the plate. My comment had nothing to do with nor was it about race. My comment about you was in regard to your knee jerk, hair trigger reaction to my comment. Like you were just waiting for someone to say somthing so you could jump all over it. GROW UP!

RPG0340 writes that Richmond and his father should be in prison but makes no mention of Mays. So I call him on that. Then he says" " Mays should be there too! It has nothing to do with racism." Well, he wasn't so that is why I called you on it.
Then he says I am playing the race card!! How is that playing the race card?? Don't blame me, PG, for YOUR own mistake.

I am simply calling you on what you wrote. So be honest your comment left out Mays. so don't blame me, you are the one who didn't include him.
It is people just like you that enjoy indulging in playing the race card. NO I WAS SIMPLY CORRECTING YOU; I WAS NOT INDULGING IN PLAYING THE RACE CARD.
Own up to the fact that you left Mays out and for that reason I corrected you and none other. Don't play "the indulging in race card" cop out!

Not all of the residents of the area support the raping sociopaths. There are also many of us that do not blame the victim. There are also people that agree that the coach should be fired. Then there are people that believe the athletic programs should be suspended as punnishment for the cover up. However, not everyone shares one or all of these views and it is unfortunate that those opinions are overshadowed by the sport fanatic majority.

Am so so very happy that these sociopaths are in jail. Every single boy and girl who was complicit and didn't stop them and shared child *********** of the rape victim should be arrested. The horrible coach should be FIRED!!!! How are all of you residents of this town not ASHAMED???? Rape culture and victim blaming have been all over this town and state and it is DISGUSTING. How about you don't raise your sons to hate women and rape, why don't you actually teach them to be decent human beings and not followers. It is disgusting and I am ashamed of every single person who is associated with any of these horrible children, the town, and especially the football team. It should reflect poorly on you as a parent, YOUR KID DOESN'T KNOW ENOUGH NOT TO RAPE!!!!

Duane-Did you not see the pile of evidence against the defendants? Within hours of the incident, they were seeking help from their peers via text because they knew they were in trouble. If you believe the defense team didn't stand a chance, you'd be right. Not because the defendants had the case stacked against them by others....they gave the prosecution the case, hand-wrapped. Rather than take this situation for individuals involved in this case and members of the community as an opportunity to reflect on the state of the culture and ways to prevent anything like this from occurring again, some individuals want to point fingers and place blame. More people shared guilt than the ones who stood trial. Yes, even Jane Doe was guilty of a crime that evening. But by no means is she responsible for the overall events of that night. A lack of good decisions by adolescents, parents and surrounding community members led to where Steubenville and Weirton are now.

Obviously the two teenage girls in custody for the twitter death threat didn't get the message from the Judge and AG Mike DeWine. The AG needs to bring the Steubenville Cesspool rape and deep coverup to justice. Go get 'em Mike!

This incident was orchestrated from the beginning...and Mike DeWine continues to exploit the social mobbery and momentum that organized itself agains the defendants in the early days of this public lie. Was it not the accuser who invited the two defendants via text? And for those of you who contend she was drugged - was it not the accuser who voluntarily consumed alcohol?

These two boys and their Rape Crew are sociopaths. They were smirking and smiling all through the trial. I have no sympathy for these rapists and no lessons will be learned as they don't believe what they did was rape or that violating unconscious girls ( they did this to more than one victim) is wrong.
This town is morally bankrupt, the fact Coach Rino is not fired proves this town is worthless.

I've heard this used (also as 寝ぼけんじゃねぇよ!) in informal situations with nothing but smiles all around. But when I tried to use it in an informal situation with a colleague, I got the distinct feeling I'd just insulted him. I know it's tough (for me, at least) always to accurately gauge just how "friendly/informal" to be, and I try to err on the side of politeness always, but this one just stumped me. How friendly do you have to be with someone before you can use this expression?

Trust yourself. If you have to apologize for being too casual, that's fine. That's just how you learn what's appropriate. Everyone here is just guessing at what they would do, etc. You're the only one who was there and really felt the atmosphere.
Also, it may be hard to tell if he was insulted or if he was just surprised that you would use that phrase. Maybe he's insulted that you're getting better and more confident in Japanese and don't fit into his impression of you anymore. (totally speculating)
This phrase is definitely too informal for using with a colleague at work, for three reasons:
You should reserve constructions like this for situations where your position relative to the listener justifies your use of this form (i.e. when you are well above the listener), or among very good friends who can take a verbal jab in good humor (since this sentence has a sharp bite to it).
the 「じゃねぇよ」 part is very very impolite as it is like yelling at them for even suggesting that you were 寝ぼけ in the first place. It's how you would respond if you were falsely accused of something. 「じゃないよ」 is much more more appropriate

Ext.grid.ColumnLayout [4.1.1]
I'm having a hard-time replicating a runtime exception I'm having with a treegrid inside a window.
The treegrid is the only child of a window, and whenever I expand a node which causes a vertical scrollbar to appear, I'm getting a runtime exception in calculate(): viewContext.tableContext is undefined.
This previously worked in 4.0.7 and got broken in 4.1.1. Comparing the files shows that there has been a significant change in that file. Unfortunately the inner-workings of the optimized layout effort are not documented, so I have no idea what tableContext is, or why it's undefined.
As a workaround, I added if(viewContext.tableContext) and things started working again.
Strangely enough, if I set 'animate' to true (I turned it off in my product), it works as expected.
Help, anyone?

We will need a working example. Please follow our bug report template:
24 Jul 2012 11:25 PM #3
calling setWidth() with the same width as the control
After further investigation it turns out that the root of the problem was that I handled the 'columnresize' event of the grid and called column.setWidth() with the same value.
Instead of checking if the new width is different from the current width, this triggered updateLayout(), which subsequently crashed in Ext.grid.ColumnLayout.calculate()
Here's a reproduction for this:
Ext.onReady(function () { Ext.create('Ext.Window', { title: 'bug', width: 400, height: 160, x: 10, y: 450, plain: true, modal: true, layout: 'border', items: { xtype: 'treepanel', region: 'center', border: false, hideHeaders: true, columns: [{ xtype: 'treecolumn', text: 'Name', dataIndex: 'text', flex: 1, padding: '10 10 10 10', draggable: false, hidable: false}], listeners: { columnresize: function (container, column, width, opts) { column.setWidth(width); } } }, }).show(); });

Obviously the code is for the sake of example, but why are you manually setting the width on it after the column gets resized?Evan Trimboli

24 Jul 2012 11:44 PM #5
Well naturally I don't, directly. This was just a simplification of the issue.
In my application, a class that wraps the grid component container some the logic that at some point called setWidth(). Once I found it I fixed it, but this does not mean that calling setWidth() should be unsafe during the columnresize event or updateLayout() etc.
26 Aug 2012 3:43 PM #6
I'm experiencing this issue as well, except that it's not during a columnresize event, it's due to my ColumnAutoWidth plugin calling setWidth after catching a (buffered) refresh event.
I don't see why it's ok for setWidth to ever cause a crash. Docs on the layout stuff would be nice too.

My gym has a smith machine and weights besides lot of machines. I am wondering if one can do the 5x5 program effectively with just the smith machine. I get the bench press and incline for your chest, but what about squats and deadlifts and rows?
Sign up

I'm of the mindset that a Smith machine is better than nothing, but understand what a Smith machine does, and what it takes away from the exercise:
One of the benefits of doing squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, etc. without a machine is the opportunity to work your stabilizer and supporting muscles more effectively. You lose a lot of that with the Smith machine.
The question I have for you is, are there no barbells at all? If not, is there another alternative gym available to you?
If there are barbells, but need help for ideas of how to do the lifts you need while standing you can either "Clean" the weight for a front squat and overhead press, or you can perform the Steinborn lift for back squats.
If there are no barbells, then when you are gym shopping make sure they have:
With that you can do any 5x5 program from beginner to advanced.
Smith machines are made for squats so you're pretty safe using it for the intended purpose. :) You can also do bent-over rows easily, but the deadlift would require a change to form (the weight wouldn't be traveling straight up and down). Poor form with a deadlift can easily result in injury so I'd recommend against it.

It's often said that from trials and tribulations come strength.
Such is the case for Cookie West and her daughters, who nearly one year ago lost a son and a brother, in a house fire in Steubenville.
The West family still mourns the loss of Lee West, who was 15 years old. But they continue to turn that tragedy into something positive for the entire community.
The West family once again has decided to give back to the community that embraced them following Lee's death. A free community Christmas party is planned from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center in the city. That's where guests can enjoy pizza and cookies, as well as a family basketball tournament.
An event held during the summer celebrated Lee's birthday, and it was estimated that more than 1,500 people were on hand at Belleview Park. Area residents turned out to mark what would have been Lee's 16th birthday, and so did members of the city's fire department, as well as a D.A.R.E. officer.
The Steubenville Fire Department also is scheduled to attend Saturday's event, and Cookie West believes, as do we, that the firefighters are a vital part of our community.
On Saturday the firefighters will help explain what happened to her son in that fire, and they will be available to talk about the dangers involved, including carbon monoxide dangers.
Cookie West said her son always wanted to give back to his community, so she's making sure that continues to happen even now.
Undeniably, it is still hard for Cookie West to talk about her son. But we all are blessed to be able to participate in these activities honoring Lee. She's helping to bring out the good, the compassion, in our youth - in all of us - and that's something we're always in need of.

Nintendo DS and Wii multiplayer support shutting down in May with worldwide Wi-Fi Connection terminationWritten by: / / No Comments
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for DS and Wii will be terminated in May 2014, Nintendo has announced.
The news was first revealed on Nintendo's official Australian and Japanese websites, and was later confirmed to Polygon to be a global termination of the service. A message on the Australian Nintendo website read:
"As of May 20th, 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service will be discontinued and it will no longer be possible to use online features of Nintendo DS/DSi and Wii software such as online play, matchmaking and leaderboards."
A full list of the games and services affected by the termination of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was published over here, and includes everything from recent Pokemon games on DS, to Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
The online functionality of the 3DS and Wii U, however, is unaffected, as are the following DS and Wii services:
– Internet Channel
– Nintendo DS Browser
– Nintendo DSi Browser
– Nintendo DSi Shop
– Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay & Play
– Wii Shop Channel
– YouTube
Do you still play DS and Wii games online?

Re: the Port Authority - I had thought that Chester Arthur might be one of the agency's success stories, but Wikipedia tells me that he was Collector of the Port of New York. Perhaps the Port Authority is a successor agency?
On his blog, George Vecsey has links to several pieces, one of which has excerpts from an interview with "Fred Sokolich, whose Sokolich Real Estate Enterprises is the No. 1 rental broker in northern N.J." Sokolich's brother, Mark, is a real estate attorney and, yes, the mayor of Fort Lee. Here's the link for the post on Vecsey's blog: http://www.georgevecsey.com/1/post/2014/01/3.html
I thought one of the more bizarre things about Bridgegate was that one of the guys who went down over it, WIldstein, when he found out that the reporter Shawn Boburg was looking into what happened, Wildstein bought the domain name shawnboburg.com. When you go to that site,you're redirected to a rival news site.
For some reason that seems more twisted to me than any of the political dirty tricks.
As a longtime Record alum, I am very glad to see the paper at the heart of this story -- it's why small and mid-size papers are so crucial to journalism and the functioning of our society.
The Wall Street Journal also did fine work -- yet the NYT did not see fit to acknowledge the Record, in particular. That's the kind of bigfooting one frequently experienced at places like the Bergen Record. But it still infuriates me.
The Times' Public Editor at least nodded toward her paper's failure to give credit where credit was due:
Ken - you appear to reveal your own bias and lack of knowledge.
Benghazi - 60 Minutes and now the NYT has done an in depth and authoritative investigation. The FOX news dribble about Benghazi as al Queda worldwide conspiracy driven; failure of state department, etc. has been proven completely inaccurate. The congressional Issa panel is revealed as just another partisan witch hunt. (has nothing to do with the leftist media)
IRS - again, multiple news organizations; congressional hearings, etc. have shown that this was actually a long standing law and policy that was abused - targets were both democratic and republican. There was no connection to the executive branch or the presidential staff despite what FOX news makes up. (AGAIN, has nothing to do with the leftist media)
NSA - this is an ongoing issue - it isn't left/right except in your mind.
You left out Fast and Furious....any other Fox News topics you want to throw in?
Please, save us from biased opinions.
Another NJ voice heard from: Bruce Springsteen serenades his governor.
Whatever the aptness of the Benghazi comparison, here is Jonah Goldberg with a few other suggested comparisons:
Feeding-frenzy defenders insist the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge is special because innocent constituents were deliberately inconvenienced for partisan purposes. That's surely what makes this scandalous, but it hardly makes it unique. The Obama administration employed similar tactics during the sequester and the government shutdown. Closing the open-air World War II Memorial, furloughing air traffic controllers and other efforts were deliberate attempts to maximize the pain of innocents for political benefit.
Oh please, JP.....you really miss what happened. The tea party forced the Republicans to enact the govt. shutdown and sequester (based upon a biased view of economics). The shutdown forced your list (not Obama). Obama would have had to take executive action (if even legal) to keep open or keep employed some of your list. Talk about getting things upside down.
But, yes, Obama did use that shortsided Tea Party approach to his political advantage - so what? And this has nothing to do with my reply to Ken and his Fox News list of now discounted Obama administration *mistakes* (or Fox News fantasies).
So, Obama fought against the shutdown; it happened; and now Obama is to blame because he didn't take extraordinary steps to protect the shortsightedness of the Tea Party....you really have a distorted view of politics.
Note - republicans seem pretty sure to vote and push through this 1.1 trillion dollar budget to avoid their earlier mistakes and govt. shutdown.
From "Christie and Springsteen: A Tale of Devotion, and a Very Public Snub:"
This is a love story.
And in many great love stories, some will be punished and some will be pardoned. In this tale of woe, though, the punishment was meted out on national television: Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey was scorned, in his hour of need, by the man whose embrace he had so fervently sought and only recently secured.
For the rest of the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/16/nyregion/christie-and-springsteen-a-ta...
so what?
That, in a nutshell, is my reaction to a couple of lanes being closed for a few days on some bridge a thousand miles from here. I think it's a bigger deal (although, in the grand scheme of things, maybe not that big a deal) that WWII vets' honor flights were cancelled, and that people who saved and planned for a year to vacation in Washington DC weren't permitted to tour the White House.
Ah, yes--the "the farther things are away, the less important they are" approach to politics.
JIm P. =
Aw, c'mon. I used to think that Christie might be a capable politician who puts the people first and who might be the architect of the revival of the Republican Party, No more. The reason Bridgegate isn't just another little local brouhaha is that Christie gives every indication of national ambition -- he's runing for President. What is important about the scandal is that it has revealed him to be a small-minded, mean hypocrit who pretends to be a friend to man but puts his own ambition above the good of the people, or he at least surrounds himself with people who are ewilling to do such dirt for him. If the voters have any sense he won't even make it past Iowa.
Ann - if he doesn't make it out of Iowa, I promise you that it won't be because of lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.
Abe - "the farther things are away, the less important they are" - that's actually pretty close to Secretary of State Clinton's post-Benghazi Senate testimony.
Whatever, Jim. It seems to me that Benghazi and related issues are wholly irrelevant, and I do not know why you are bringing them up, apart from poor rhetorical strategy.
Is that the bar we're setting: anything not as bad as Benghazi is therefore ok?
Jim P. ==
True, mere road closings in New Jersey won't eliminate Christie in the Iowa primary. But unless the Democrats put up even worse excuses as candidates, Christie's having shown himself to be a small-minded, mean hypocrit who only pretends to be a friend to man will eliminate him. Yes, Americans easily tolerate liars and sometimes even thieves, but we seem to despise hypocritical holier-than-thous.
I think we voters don't like mean people, at least in national elections.

This is called a droitwich.
From The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd:
The Meaning of Liff is a humorous work of fiction in which the names of British towns are given alternative meanings. This definition of droitwich also has an entry in urban dictionary along with notable alternatives: the pavement tango and the get-past-you shuffle.
One term that was proposed for this is "avoidancing."
There isn't a specific English word for this awkward situation. In the right circumstances it might be a type of physical comedy, but that's not the specific answer you are after, I'm afraid.
I've heard it called a "sidewalk gavotte."
In certain geek subcultures, it's referred to as symmetry-breaking; I don't know how widespread this usage is.
(In more detail: I've heard this often among mathematicians and physicists. It wouldn't be understood completely out of context, since symmetry-breaking is really a technical term for a much more general phenomenon, but it would be understood in a situation like "I met so-and-so in the corridor the other day; we spent about ten seconds symmetry-breaking." More usually, when you find yourself actually doing this dance, you break the awkwardness by looking up, catching the other's eye, and muttering "Symmetry-breaking!" with a wry chuckle; this usually helps bring the ritual to an end. Unless, of course, your partner has made this observation at just the same moment…)
Parallel Synchronized Randomness. "An interesting brain rarity and our subject for today. Two people walk in opposite directions at the same time and then they make the same decision at the same time. Then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it. Basically, in a mathematical world these two little guys will stay looped for the end of time. The brain is the most complex thing in the universe and it's right behind the nose"

Put these
tips into action to discover how you can relax more when traveling.
Bend your arms at the elbows to tense your forearm muscles. Hold this position for 5 seconds. Relax. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides.
Now stretch your arms as straight as possible. Feel the tension in the back of your arms; hold this position for 2 minutes and then relax.
To relax your forehead and scalp, tense those muscles by raising your eyebrows as if surprised. Raise your eyebrows as high as possible. Hold this position for 5 seconds. Keep your eyes still, always looking ahead.
To relax your eyes and the space between your eyebrows, tense your eyebrows, frown as hard as possible with your eyes closed tight. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then relax.
About any preventive measures that are required according to your health/medical condition before making your journey.
Use the right size, change them daily, check skin condition and pressure points.
Consume fruit and vegetables. Maintain a healthy diet. Also exercise regularly to keep yourself in good shape and reduce the risk of contracting illnesses.
During the trip it is important to consume plenty of water to keep hydrated.
Where possible and appropriate, stretch your legs by carefully walking around the cabin.
Here are some exercises we recommend you perform in your seat:
Lift your feet from the floor and make circles. Make five clockwise circles with each foot and another 5 circles counterclockwise.
Keeping your heels on the floor, lift your toes as much as possible in the air. Hold this position for a few seconds and then put your toes back on the floor. Now lift your heels keeping your toes, hold this position for a few seconds. Repeat 5 times.
Whilst sitting and without moving your arms, move your shoulders in circles back to front 5 times. Then do the same in the opposite direction.
Bend forward slightly and grab your knee with your hands. Slowly pull your knee up to your chest and hold this position for 15 seconds. Relax and then do the same with your other leg. Repeat twice.
Place your right hand on your back over your left shoulder. Grab your right elbow with your left hand and gently pull your right shoulder to your left. Hold this position for 15 seconds. Change arms and repeat. Repeat twice.
Relax your shoulders and stretch your neck toward your left shoulder, hold for a few seconds, then slowly turn your head to touch your chest and then turn your head to touch your right shoulder. Hold this position for a few seconds and then change direction, starting from the right and going to the left. Repeat 3 times.
excessive alcohol consumption both in airport lounges and on board aircraft.
Due to pressure changes during the flight the effects of alcohol on your body
may increase, leading to inebriation.
example: if your flight is departing from a city located at sea level to a
destination at a higher altitude, the effects of the alcohol will increase.
Even if you are drinking moderately you may quickly get drunk, leading to discomfort
or illness during the flight.

5 Materials That Will Make The World as We Know It Obsolete
As weird as today must seem to somebody who grew up in the 50s, what with our Internet memes and Bluetooth devices that make us shout conversations into the air like madmen, the future is about to get a whole lot weirder.
New materials like carbon nanotubes and the like are going to change everything in the next few decades. And we mean everything.
#5. Gadgets That Heal Themselves
So you're riding high with your new iPhone, feeling like a man of the 21st Century--if the thing had legs it would be your robot sidekick and the two of you could fight crime together. But with the phone in your front pocket, you lean over a rail and hear a crack. You silently pray that it's not your iPhone screen breaking, but is rather just one of your testicles rupturing.
Heartbroken, you look at the cracks in the screen and wish the thing could just magically heal itself, like the later Terminators.
Well, some day, it will.
Holy Shit! With What?
Self-healing Materials
OK, so you aren't going to be able to smash the living shit out of your gadgets and have them magically reassemble like the T-1000, but baby steps, people. The first type of self-healing material was developed using microcapsules of resin that would crack open and fill in gaps caused by small cracks, sealing them instantly.
They're also developing plastics that smooth out breaks or scratches when heated.
Photo courtesy University of Illinois.
That's just the beginning, though. The U.S. Air Force is funding a project to develop entire complex systems with the end goal of a machine that can heal itself just as an organism would. Only much faster.
How Will it Change the World?
We're guessing the Air Force would like a plane that can be punched full of anti-aircraft fire and then heal itself up right before your eyes, while the pilot gives you the finger. It will also be helpful for space travel where minor hull damage can be disastrous and repairs are a huge pain in the ass what with the cold, unforgiving vacuum of space and all.
Tragedies like these could be avoided.
But otherwise, anything that now can be broken, cracked or chipped could be made self-healing, including cars that never rust or lose their paint because they have an invisible protective coating that automatically fills in scratches. Yep, some vandal can come along and scratch up your car door with his keys, and it'll heal itself right in front of him like Christine.
#4. Pants That Are Smarter Than You
Of course, our whole iPhone disaster scenario above was based on the fact that as a society we still are stuffing valuable, sensitive electronics in our pockets. We're willing to bet a few of you have accidentally put your iPod through a spin cycle; or dropped your laptop or crushed it between books in your backpack.
Wouldn't it be nice if electronics weren't things you put in your pockets but rather things with pockets? Wouldn't it be nice if you could know you always had your gadgets with you, because you're wearing them?
Holy Shit! With What?
Some people at Virginia Tech (among others) are developing new fabrics that will let them embed batteries, processors and memory right into the threads. You won't have to worry about where to stash your iPhone when you're wearing those hotpants. The hotpants will be the phone.
But it gets really crazy once you factor in carbon nanotubes a.k.a. "the miracle material mentioned in every single article anyone ever writes about the future." These super-strong, super-thin, super-conductive tubes will make sure that not only are your fabrics smart, but damned near indestructible.
How Will it Change the World?
Your kid could some day have a shirt that plays a whole HD episode of SpongeBob on his chest wherever he goes. After all, they can already make thin "e-paper" monitors out of nanotubes. IBM has used graphene (the stuff carbon nanotubes are made of) to make a transistor just one atom thick--which means you could eventually make a computer processor that could be mistaken for a piece of lint.
Workout gear that's also an MP3 player, hiking gear that's a GPS. . . hell, you could have a unitard that displays a life-sized video image of your naked body. Let your imagination run wild.
Uh, cool?
But then you have the serious uses, like real-time monitoring of medical patients, including all of their vital signs. The military could do the same with soldiers, marking their location and physical state at any given moment via their brainy uniforms.
If that starts to sound a little Big Brotherish to you, you should know they are developing e-textiles for rugs and furniture in buildings like hotels, that allow them to keep track of what their employees are doing (i.e. making sure every room has been cleaned) and even the activities of the guests.
Enjoy your post-traumatic stress disorder, Best Western Hotel Bed Monitor!
#3. A Germ-Free World
As we have pointed out before, the world is far filthier than you think. About 500 years after somebody invented a microscope, we still can't get it through our heads that our computer keyboard is filthier than the urinal at the airport.
We can't see germs and so we don't worry about them, and we sure as hell aren't going to take time out of every day to disinfect our doorknobs and telephones after we sneezed on them.
And that's too bad, because those germy surfaces are still how most diseases are spread. The last time you got sick, odds are it was because of a surface that someone somewhere didn't bother to clean. Are we ever going to get around this?
The answer is yes.
Holy Shit! With What?
Antimicrobial Materials.
Scientists have developed polymers that can actually kill most microbes on contact. They are made by impregnating plastics with special antimicrobial dyes or other chemicals and the best part is that they don't actually release any chemicals or particles. The chemicals change the structure of the plastic just enough that they are deadly to bacteria and other germs; basically the plastic becomes the disinfectant.
The point is they will kill the germs that touch them, but won't hurt you if you, say, pass out drunk with your face pressed against the germ-proof floor tiles.
This is the future of hand-washing. Or rather, NOT hand-washing.
How Will it Change the World?
Practically anything that could become a repository for mankind's redistributable filth could be made with this stuff, including meat packing materials, so you don't get those massive E. coli outbreaks that seem to cause a hamburger recall every six months.
Or how about mildew-free shower stalls and bathtubs? Or forever-sterile surgical equipment? If you thought that stuff was already sterile, you should know that 100,000 people a year in the U.S. die from infections they got while in the hospital, more than are killed by AIDS, breast cancer and car accidents combined. Turns out it's actually really hard to keep things germ-free in a building full of sick people.
So just imagine a wondrous future where when you accidentally drop your corn dog in the bus station, you don't hesitate to pick it up and keep right on eating it.

I have toddler twins that are currently in the same class at school. What research has been done so that I can decide whether or not to separate them next year?
This really depends on your twins. There is no generic answer that fits every twin couple. It all depends on the competitiveness of the children. If you see that one is constantly overruled by the other, splitting up might be good. If they really develop well and they like the others company, let it be in one class. We have kept our twins together, but we continue to assess the situation.
Don't separate unless there's a good reason to.
Here's my story, and the reasons behind it:
We were separated because my brother relied too much on me; he didn't make notes on what homework was required, so if I didn't write it down or remember, we were both screwed. By separating us, my brother learned to get by alone, and so it wasn't a problem that we were in the same class again later.
But the separation had social downsides because the two classes were not on speaking terms so we were isolated from each other also during breaks, and having class friends over was always difficult. The teachers knew about this class "war" in advance but didn't think it would matter. It did.
So if there is a good reason to separate, and there are no serious known downsides, then do go ahead. But consider when and how to join them again if other issues arise.
At the same time, make sure they get opportunity to spend enough "twin time" together away from that "split-class" context, like in a sports club or scouts club.
It used to be common for schools to insist twins be separated in school, regardless of the parent's views. Thankfully, this seems to be less common these days. My school district has never pushed to override a parent's preference. After all, they know the kids best, and they have to live with the results. I don't.
That said, I've had twins together, twins with me but different periods, and twins separated to different teams of teachers. I have a set of triplets in the same room this year. My anecdotally supported opinion is that there can be no general advice. Kids are different. Somebody's got to know the kids as individuals and make a decision.

Located on the south eastern coast of East Kalimantan facing the deep Makassar Straits, the town of Balikpapan is known as the Oil City of Indonesia. Its anniversary which falls on 10th of February, in fact celebrates the first oil drilling undertaken in the area, known as the "Mathilda" drill.
For this reason, Balikpapan, like its counterpart city of Pekanbaru in Riau on Sumatra, is better known for its oil rather than its tourist attractions. Oil and other mining industries are the reasons why nearly all domestic airlines fly to Balikpapan rather than to the provincial capital of Samarinda. For, it is in Balikpapan where gather the oil and mining related foreign and Indonesian business communities. Exports from Balikpapan are chiefly in oil, natural gas and coal, while agricultural produce take second place.
Balikpapan's Sepinggan airport is also the main transit point inland to Tanjungredep airport in Berau, the hopping off point to the wonderful Derawan Dive Islands.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Balikpapan has a number of five and four starred hotels catering to top management clientele and their VIP visitors, although more reasonable rate hotels are also available around town.
Because of its large oil output, therefore, Balikpapan became the arena of fierce battles during World War II, waged between the Dutch colonial powers and the invading Japanese forces. A number of Japanese bunkers as well as a Japanese cemetery are remnants of the Japanese occupation of Indonesia between 1942-1945.
Today, besides its oil silos and refineries, which are a must to see, although from a distance, Balikpapan has quite a number of tourist attractions in and around the city.
Three most popular beaches here are the Kemala beach in the city limits, the Manggar beach, situated some 17 km. east of Balikpapan, and the Segara Sari beach, a little further east from here. Manggar beach is equipped with a recreation park, very popular with the whole family.
To see wildlife, there is the Wain River Protected Forest. Covering some 10,000 hectares the reserve is habitat to a number of endangered animals, like the so-called Beruang Madu (honey bear) which are sun bears endemic to the area, orang-utans and proboscis monkeys, called Bekantan. Wain river reserve, moreover, houses a number of endangered plants.
Near Balikpapan is also a crocodile farm called Teritip, which is interesting to visit.

HOW TO TREAT CEO'S: THE WAY THINGS OUGHT TO BEPosted in ACTIVIST BOARD, Corporate Crisis Management, Crisis Management Response, DIAMOND FOODS, Doing the right thing, don't white wash the crisis, ETHICS FROM THE TOP DOWN, FIRING THE CEO, HOW TO SHOW THE CEO THE DOOR, MICHAEL MENDES, REPLACING THE CEO on November 28th, 2012 by mnayor
Last week I read that Michael Mendes formally resigned from Diamond Foods Inc. Mendes worked for Diamond most of his working life, serving as President and CEO from 1997 and adding the title of Chairman in 2010. Then at the beginning of 2012 he was placed on administrative leave after an accounting impropriety was discovered involving payments to walnut growers, which artificially inflated financial results of the company.
The shift in payments must have been whoppers because they necessitated the restatement of 2010 and 2011 profits. As a result it appears that Diamond has lost its deal to purchase the Pringles brand from P&G, which was to have been an all stock transaction
It is not uncommon for companies to manipulate numbers to look good. It is also not a surprise to find that those at the top may not have been in the know. As a result of such an "event" a CEO will clean house, heads will roll and internal accounting measures tightened. But here it look like the perpetrators may have been those at the very top, including Steven Neil, the former CFO, who was also placed on leave. Why else would Mendes and Neil have been placed on administrative leave? Why else would Mendes repay $2.7 million in bonuses he received for 2010 and 2011, and return shares awarded to him in 2010. He leaves with a net retirement balance after repayment of bonuses, and will not be granted any severance.
In his wake, Diamond Foods is stuck with a share price that has plummeted 60%, a lot of angry shareholders who are ratcheting up class action suits against the company, and ongoing Department of Justice and SEC investigations. That's quite a trail to leave behind.
The Board should be commended. In the face of a serious crisis it took decisive action. There was no attempt to white-wash the situation or cover for Mendes. Crisis management oftentimes means nothing more than biting the bullet and facing problems head-on. In this case the Board has taken steps to tighten its internal controls and has cleaned house. But in my view it has done more than that. Too often the guy who screws up, especially if he is at the top, gets a golden parachute and a pat on the backside to ensure that the door doesn't hit him on the way out. The wheels are greased and everyone thinks the right thing is being done. But this Board obviously saw no need to reward people who created the crisis in the first place. Hopefully this Board will set a precedent for the many situations which will undoubtedly follow in the business world.
CEO's should pay a price when they do something illegal, or in violation of a company's ethical standards. All companies should take a page from this playbook. Don't deplete the assets of your company even more after a crisis by rewarding bad behavior. It adds insult to injury to your shareholders and other stakeholders. CEO's and others in top management need to receive what they deserve. If they earn a walk out the door, they are not entitled to a fat paycheck. It's one thing if the chemistry isn't right or the results are disappointing. It's another thing if a person has left his company high and dry, bleeding from bad decisions and actions that have done harm. It's time to change the ugly unwritten understanding between boards and their managements that says that the upper echelon is a fraternity whose members are entitled to hop from company to company accumulating prizes while their reputations remain unscathed, regardless of their perfidy or incompetence.

My wife lerved this show when it came out. And Depp, obviously.
Check the reviews. The new "21 Jump Street" has absolutely nothing to do with the original series, other than the marketing BS.
I watched a couple of episodes on Hulu, and it hasn't aged gracefully.

Comments about Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Blue Copper 5 Firming Eye Repair, .5 oz:
worked swing and graveyard shift for a period of time and dark circles started sinking in. Nordstrom consultant recommended this. i used this product religiously and it really worked. Used the product for well over a year as my shift persisted. ....had a pleasant smell and was not greasy...it was creamy and left a moisturing coating but nothing that caused a reaction or breakout. if not for the pricing, i probably would continue using as part of my daily regime.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

text: I read this book in the late 80's, and it was essentially about a human spacecraft discovering life on an alien planet. The gist was that the alien species evolved to fast, that the humans were able to watch the evolution of this alien civilization progress from earliest microbial species, all the way to the zenith of their society. Right about the time they became aware of, and were able to communicate extraterrestrially with the humans, their civilization perished.

Being new to the task, it seems I've dropped one while drumming up customers... asking for help during the track day!
Right now we have over 90 registered drivers for the OTD. As of right now we are also short staffed because of me!
I could really use the help in the following areas:
- Gate - I need someone at the gate starting at 7:30 to have people sign waivers.
- Grid - I need 3 grid workers to help direct drivers. For 1/2 of our registered drivers this will be their first time, so they will need a little guidance
- Registration - I need 1 person to assist Annie and myself in Registration. We've added instructors this year, so we have a little more to do
- Announcer - I can use 1 person to keep the cars ready to take the track.
- Corner Marshals - I need LOTS of you! I need your expert eyes and abilities to keep us all safe! As of now Lynn tells me there are only a couple of people committed to helping out. PLEASE let her know you plan on joining us!
- Instructors - We currently have 30 drivers requesting instructors. While this is an as available option for them, We need new people at the track. The more we work with them, the more will return and bring additional drivers. I need another 10 people that can help guide a new driver around our track. You don't have to have an active license, anyone that has run in Red/Blue or Green groups are more than qualified for this. You will also need to bring your helmet. Please let me know if you can help out!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

That's the question.
What's a practical solution now to cure this kind of forgetfulness?
That's the question.
What's a practical solution now to cure this kind of forgetfulness?
closed as off-topic by Adam Wuerl Dec 5 '13 at 4:23
Consider a retractable key ring. You can clip it to your pants/straps of your bag so that they will be always attached to you.
Minimize the times taking out your keys in the shops and offices. For example, use apps to store your patrons' barcode cards or keep those barcode cards on a nylon strap/key chain; don't attach tools like bottle opener to your key chain, etc.
Phone and helmet
Consider investing in a small child distance alarm. Parents use them to detect if the child has wandered away too far. The alarms come in various sizes and designs and can be easily glued onto your helmet or attached to your phone as a decoration. If you need something specifically made for phone and personal belongings, wireless leash like this may also be a good choice.
Employ sets of memory triggers
If you're into some minor decoration, consider buying a set of them that helps coordinate your belongings. For instance, some cheesy examples are those broken heart key chain and cartoon characters. Chain one to your phone case, and chain the other one to your key ring. When you pick up one, you're more likely to remember to "make a set."
Damage control
Write your phone number inside the helmet. Etch/print your contact info on the back of the key chain or on a dog tag. Lock your phone and have the locked screen showing your e-mail. There are plenty of nice people out there, you'll just need to help them help you.
Two methods occur to me:
Always check the items in the same order:
Keep your phone in your pocket, and put your keys in a pocket as soon as you have finished filling up. The helmet is likely to become obvious before you leave the cashier.
Three things that work for me:
Another idea:
Harry Loraine, author of "The Memory Book" suggests to make absurd or unrealistic connections in your mind with the items you want to remember, in a ridiculous way.
For instance, next time you get out of home, imagine a giant talking key speaking to you and saying "Please, don't leave me at home". Or maybe pretend your home main door has a giant phone screen on it. Make it absurd and build the image on your brain.
It might sound funny, but the human brain is more prone to remember things that are visualized in an uncommon way.
You could attach a StickNFind (http://www.sticknfind.com/) to all of the objects you want to keep track of (helmet and keys), and use the Virtual Leash feature with your phone:
Thus, if you forget anything your phone will sound an alarm and you can figure out what you're missing.
Great question! This one struck close to home because I struggled with the same thing for years. My father taught me a trick that has stuck with me—it's simple, but I find it pretty effective.
The trick is to settle on a number of items that you always need to remember. For me it's 3—when I walk out the door for work I always echo the number 3 in my head, and check for keys, wallet and phone.
If yours are keys, helmet and phone, train yourself to think of the number 3 when you go anywhere, and pat yourself down to make sure you're covered :)
Best of luck!
I'm also a bit absent-minded. I've found one solution for me - when I'm leaving some place I'm always asking myself "Have I took everything I need"? It just like a habit.
Keep all the things you want to bring to work in designated areas.
I personally have a small basket in my room where I keep my wallet, watch, floss, etc and another small container near the door where I keep my house and car keys.
When you repeat the same thing a few times, it becomes a habit and you'll never forget. It helps when you have something important like a document; put it in the same place.
I recommend mindfulness training if you think that your mind often is "somewhere else", clouded with thoughts. Then you're more likely to forget things, like keys, phone etc.
Mindfulness training is a meditation technique inspired by Buddhism, which seeks to eliminate all those thoughts running around in your head -- letting you see the present more clearly. If done for at least 7 minutes per day, you will benefit from several health benefits as well as not being so forgetful.
@Muz mentioned one of my tricks by keeping those things I take with me in the same place. Have a spot at home, work and create one when you travel.
Along with that, there are a few things I make a habit to take with me no matter what: phone, keys, wallet. When going to work, always take the backpack. I feel strange when I don't have them with me and those occassions do occur like going to the beach.
I could never be one of those people that decides if they need certain things on different occassions. Even if I just need an ID, I still take my wallet and keys even if I'm not driving.
For office, keep an actual checklist for some sort of short end-of-work-day routine, with items including "put X in my bag". This can be physical paper or on the computer (through something like a scheduled emacs org-mode habit-task), but make sure that you physically check off each item on the list.
Write a reminder list by the exit door,
"Don't forget to take:

In my application a user can search for messages in a database. Users may select mailboxes and folders where the search will be performed. These folders are represented as a tree with checkboxes. But I've noticed that sometimes users are confused, because instead of placing a checkbox they simply select a folder and click OK. So the question is should I automatically place a checkbox on a folder when it's clicked or accept the selected folder as a search target when OK is clicked and the user hasn't placed any checkboxes?
In your case users fail to recognize system state. This type of errors are called slips. The general recommendation is to make system status more clear for the users.
One-click selection could create bad experience, as it could be used as first step for expanding or collapsing the tree. Then both selection and collapsing could become a bit tricky.
There can be different solutions. As an example I think of something like that:
I think your first idea is the best solution: "automatically place a checkbox on a folder when it's clicked".
Why? Because then it's obvious to the user that the item is selected for searching. She can see immediately the visual feedback of the checkbox appearing or disappearing, and which folders are selected, for searching.
If instead you just searched in the clicked folder if there are no checks then you'll confuse experienced users who would think that all folders would be searched. There's also no visual indication of which folder is being searched.
There is no hard and fast rule here. As you may be discovering it depends on your target user.
My experience of hierarchy selection involves the following features and decisions.

I do not know if "panic" is the right word: every time I squat, when my stomach get compressed (during the descendent phase), I feel a real uncomfortable feeling. Something like a small panic attack. However, I am not scared of weightlifting and I have this feeling even when I am lifting only 80% of my 5RM. I may be wrong but I have the impression my body is reacting to some kind of compression of the diaphragm. Have you ever experience something like that? If yes, do you know what may be the cause and how to solve such an annoying problem?

There is very likely something going on with your technique. Without more information for your specific problem, all I can do is provide a list of things to look at.
Hopefully one of these things will help point you in the right direction. While bullet 1 does apply to me, the other bullet points allow me to squat properly to depth without any breathing or panic symptoms.
Make sure your knees are spread out. If your gut is compressed by your knees, it'll contribute to your problem.
Disclaimer: I am definitely not a doctor, and have no qualification whatsoever to dispense advice. Everything that follows is a combination of Wikipedia and guesswork.
The vagus nerve passes the diaphragm and in fact has branches attached to the surface of the stomach, among other places. Since the vagus nerve has a number of jobs including involvement in regulation of heart rate, it isn't out of the question that something about your technique or your individual physiology is causing some stimulation of this nerve, which you're feeling as a heart response.
If you're concerned, definitely speak to a professional.

Stock Car Body Wrap - Wrap It UpWritten by on December 1, 2008 Project DLM Gets A New Skin
Things have been going along nicely with our Project Dirt Late Model. Each time we race, we get better, faster, and more consistent. We have numerous advertisers who have supported this project from the get-go with the latest and greatest racing products on the market. We've featured many of those products in the articles, everything from radiators to seat mounting to the chassis setup. Focusing on the critical items for performance on the track, such as setup and motor, has gotten us to the point where we're ready to give our black Pontiac GTO a whole new look.
Sure, we could've slapped some decals and sponsor logos on the side and bought some stick-on flames from our local parts store, but that low-buck approach wasn't going to fly with this car. After all, much of the setup and many of the parts in this car are very advanced, and we wanted the outside to match the inside. Project DLM needed to be wrapped.
Wraps are indeed all of the rage in racing right now, with decal or wrap companies springing up all over the place. However, the guys at Firestorm Graphix have been in the decal and wrap business since 2000, so we knew that they knew what they were doing. Racers themselves, the guys at Firestorm are based near Boston, where their state-of-the-art shop boasts all the latest machinery to turn out first-class graphics.
Project DLM has seen action (and solid finishes) at both Ocala Speedway and North Florida Speedway over the past several months. Naturally, dirt racing being what it is, there was some body damage that needed attention. After a quick call to our friends at Performance Bodies, we had some new panels that Bobby Clark and the crew attached to our '02 Rayburn.
Wrapping a racecar isn't nearly as easy as you might think, so with camera in hand, we peered over the shoulders of Matt LaChance, owner, and Fred Brundage, co-founder, of Firestorm as they wrapped up our baby.
Yes, we had to write that. We're sorry, but if you want to see what the completed car looks like, you're going to have to wait for the unveiling in next month's issue of Circle Track. Until then, head over to www.circletrack.com for a sneak peak.

After some hard racing at Ocala, we had to hang some new body panels from Performance Bodies. Matt LaChance, owner of Firestorm Graphix, says it's actually easier to wrap the panels when they're off the car, which worked out well for us since we had some riveting to do.Here, Fred Brundage, Firestorm co-founder, begins the wrap process with the roof. The first step is to wipe down the panel with rubbing alcohol to remove all of the manufacturing residue and any residual oils from the panel being handled.Matt and Fred measure the centerline of the roof in order to ensure the placement of the roof wrap is exactly in the middle. Once the centerline is determined, one side of the decal is taped down to the table using masking tape. This ensures that the decal ends up exactly where intended.A solution of water, alcohol, and dishwashing soap is sprayed all over the roof. Unlike applying small decals to the car, large wrap decals should be applied wet in this manner to ease placement. Once a dry decal is laid down, it can't be moved. A wet decal can be shifted around and even lifted up and relaid in a different position.
Working from the inside out, Matt uses a felt-padded squeegee to push the excess application fluid out the sides of the wrap.With the roof wrap complete, Matt applies Bobby's name dry. Smaller decals can easily be put on dry. The big black blob on the roof is the drop shadow for our number.The number is positioned on the roof prior to peeling and wetting the surface. This is a critical step to get it straight. Our body wrap has a two-stage application process. The numbers are hand-cut from fluorescent vinyl, while the main wrap is white vinyl that has been run through a color printer specifically designed for that purpose. You can't combine fluorescents and "regular" colors in a print like this, consequently it has to be a two-stage process. It's definitely more labor intensive, but also definitely worth it.Matt sprays the two decal surfaces with the application fluid but this time uses a paper towel to wipe away a good amount of excess. Because he's mating vinyl to vinyl, he wants the two surfaces almost dry before they touch. This allows him to still be able to reposition the decals if needed but eliminates the potential of bubbles.
Matt uses a hairdryer to heat up the vinyl that wraps underneath the front lip of the roof. Heating the vinyl makes it more pliable and allows him to stretch and curve it around corners and intricate body contours. Some installers use heat guns, but Matt says that a heat gun can get too hot and melt the vinyl. He prefers a nice, hot hairdryer.

Back to Consulting Rankings
The Vault Consulting 50 is our signature list of the best consulting firms to work for.
When it comes to choosing an employer, there is no question that
prestige is important. However, our survey data indicates time and
again that many other factors come into play when weighing a
choice--and even more affect employee satisfaction in the months
and years after the decision has been made.
Did you know that for more than 40% of consulting firm
candidates, firm culture was the most important factor in selecting
an employer? Other top factors include practice strength and
work-life balance, in addition to prestige and compensation.
But choosing an employer is only part of the equation--staying
there over a period of time is something else entirely. And while
elements like compensation and work-life balance remain important
as part of that picture, other factors such as satisfaction and the
ability to make career progress also emerge as critical
differentiators of top employers--and these factors change over
time as generations shift.
We continually monitor responses from the consultants we survey
to ensure that our ranking methodology accurately reflects the
concerns of the people currently employed in the industry.
In order to properly reflect a company's status as an employer
within the consulting industry, the Vault Consulting 50 for 2016 is
based on the following weighted formula:
30 percent prestige
15 percent satisfaction
15 percent compensation
10 percent firm culture
10 percent work-life balance
10 percent overall business outlook
5 percent promotion policies
5 percent ability to challenge
As ever, our survey is only open to consultants who are currently
employed at reputable firms in the industry. When rating quality of
life issues, consultants are only permitted to rate their own firm.
For prestige and practice area rankings, however, consultants are
only allowed to rate competitors, and NOT their own firms.

Our toddler is bedwetting a lot, and we are unsure how to deal with things. We haven't told her off for it, but we're not sure what we should be doing. Would telling her off just make things worse? If so, should we just wait for her to grow out of it?
The physical development needed to avoid bedwetting doesn't come in as quickly as that needed to stay dry during the day. It's quite normal for a child to wet at night long after being toilet trained. The Mayo Clinic says bedwetting as late as 7 years old isn't cause for concern..
Reprimanding a child for something she can't physically control yet isn't constructive. My advice is to give it time, and use pull-ups or similar at night to minimize messes. If your child isn't stressed out about it, she'll probably grow out of it in time without any problems.
Aside from limiting liquid consumption to at least an hour before bedtime and using the toilet immediately before going to bed, one thing you may consider trying is:
When I had the problem, and I wanted to fix it myself I tried all sorts of things but the one thing I had the most success with was not drinking any liquids at least one hour before bedtime. I also made sure I went to the bathroom before I went to bed, at least once, just to make sure there was nothing left inside. My goal was to try and avoid the situation from happening, although at the time I probably was doing this due to the divorce my parents were going through, but I never understood why, I just hated waking up in a wet bed.
There might be some stress in the child's life, could be developmental as HedgeMage says, or something else. With toddlers it is hard to tell.
The reason children bed wet is due to the fact that their bladders are not large enough to hold urine for 12 whole hours, so I would suggest that you give as little liquids to your child after dinner, or even better, during dinner.

Glowkey Glow-In-The-Dark Keyboard with 4x Larger Lettering and Spill Resistance for $6.99
No need for reading glasses to see your keyboard, the GLOWKEY Keyboard has big easy-to-read keys. Even when lighting is poor, you'll still be able to see these as the bright green keys glow (after being ACTIVATED by exposure to light).
6 Comments add a comment
Currently I see $8.96 shipped, or $9.89 prime.
Poor reviews regarding the glow in the dark part. The letters ARE nice and big, though, apparently.
and to think I just used glow in the dark paint once to make my own. keys weren't nice and big like that tho
My keyboard already glows in the dark just like on CSI when they bring in the black light. I do wish it was liquid resistant though due to all the DNA evidence I often spill on it.
I have one of these and the glow in the dark is useless. The keyboard isn't lit by LEDS. If you expose it to a bright light for a while it will glow in the dark for a few minutes. The keyboard is also very stiff and hard to type on rapidly. That being said, I am using the keyboard because it is definitely easier to see in low light than a black one.
I'd note from experience that the keys also seem to be easier-than-average to rub off. It's cheap, but you get what you pay for. I also hate how they positioned the \ (backslash/pipe) key, making the enter key extra large. That may just be me though. If you really need a keyboard that easier to see, I'd suggest looking for something that's LED backlit.

Report Urges Plan to Rein In U.K. Press
Law Is Sought to Underpin 'Self-Regulation'
LONDON—After an exhaustive examination of British press ethics, a U.K. judge issued a withering assessment of some media practices and urged Parliament to pass a law creating a new voluntary regulatory body for the country's newspapers.
Lord Justice Brian Leveson and his team of lawyers took evidence from more than 600 witnesses—including celebrities, politicians and editors—at the behest of Prime Minister David Cameron, who ordered the judicial probe at the height of News Corp.'s phone-hacking scandal in July 2011.
The proposals divided the British Parliament, while the country's news outlets largely bristled at the idea of laws tied to regulating the press.
On Thursday, the inquiry published its findings in a 1,987-page report, in which News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch and his son, Deputy Chief Operating Officer James Murdoch, were mentioned frequently and at times criticized.
In his report, Mr. Leveson wrote: "There have been too many times when, chasing the story, parts of the press have acted as if its own code, which it wrote, simply did not exist. This has caused real hardship and, on occasion, wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people whose rights and liberties have been disdained."
Fleet Street Under Scrutiny
The Leveson Inquiry into U.K. media standards took evidence from celebrities, politicians, journalists, the police and members of the general public following the hacking of phone voice mails by News Corp.'s now-shut News of the World tabloid. The public inquiry, led by Court of Appeals judge Brian Leveson, published recommendations on possible further press regulation Thursday. Here are some quotes from people who gave evidence to the inquiry.
Executive Summary
Mr. Leveson recommended that Parliament pass legislation that would officially recognize the new regulatory body and identify a set of requirements it must meet to be considered successful in serving the public.
He recommended the legislation enshrine freedom of the press in British law and suggested that Ofcom, the U.K. communications regulator, ensure the new oversight body's independence and effectiveness.
Mr. Leveson said the press would remain free. "This is not, and cannot reasonably or fairly be characterized as, statutory regulation of the press," Mr. Leveson said in a speech after the report's release.
Participation in the new regulatory system would be voluntary for British newspapers, his report said, though there would be incentives for membership in the form of reduced legal costs in privacy and defamation cases. The new regulator would be run by a board, the majority of whose members, including the chairman, should be "people independent of the press," Mr. Leveson said.
"The ball moves back into the politicians court," Mr. Leveson said at the end of his speech. "They must now decide who guards the guardians."
Some of Mr. Leveson's proposals immediately faced the prospect of being undercut by political disagreement in Parliament.
In a speech to Parliament, Mr. Cameron welcomed the call for a new regulator "with the power to demand upfront apologies and impose million-pound fines," but expressed concern about underpinning the organization in law. "I have some serious concerns and misgivings on this recommendation," he said.
"For the first time we would have crossed the Rubicon of writing elements of press regulation into the law of the land," Mr. Cameron added.
But Ed Miliband, leader of the opposition Labour Party, said Mr. Leveson's proposals should be adopted by Parliament as they stand.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, whose Liberal Democrat party is in a coalition with Mr. Cameron's Conservatives, said his preference was to create a rigorous system without any legislation. But he expressed support for a change in law, saying he saw no better alternative.
The industry felt differently. Adrian Jeakings, president of the U.K. Newspaper Society trade body, said the industry is capable of establishing a "tough new system of independent, accountable press regulation with the power to investigate wrongdoing and levy fines," without new statutes.
"As a company we are keen to play our full part, with others in our industry, in creating a new body that commands the confidence of the public," said Tom Mockridge, chief executive of News International, the U.K. newspaper unit of News Corp. "We believe that this can be achieved without statutory regulation—and welcome the Prime Minister's rejection of that proposal," he said.
In an editorial, the Financial Times commended Mr. Cameron, saying he was right to heed the risks of any state intervention in newspapers.
At a news conference Thursday, the group Hacked Off, which represents phone-hacking victims, celebrities such as actor Hugh Grant, journalism experts and others, urged Mr. Cameron to reconsider his position and support a new British press law. On Twitter, Mr. Grant said victims of privacy invasion felt betrayed by Mr. Cameron.
Mr. Leveson's inquiry, which began hearings last autumn, came in the wake of an uproar over illegal mobile-phone voice-mail hacking and alleged bribes-for-scoops at News Corp.'s British tabloids.
The scandal over the illicit tactics had simmered for almost five years before exploding in July 2011 amid revelations that the News of the World hacked the voice mail of a missing 13-year-old girl who turned out to have been murdered.
The fallout has cost News Corp. hundreds of millions of dollars in legal costs and led to the closure of the News of the World, a raft of criminal and civil cases and the collapse of News Corp.'s multibillion-dollar bid to take full control of British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC.
News Corp. owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher ofThe Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Leveson criticized News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch for failing to root out widespread wrongdoing at the News of the World after a reporter and private investigator working for the tabloid were jailed for phone hacking in 2007.
"If News Corporation management, and in particular Rupert Murdoch, were aware of the allegations, it is obvious that action should have been taken to investigate them. If News Corporation were not aware of the allegations…then there would appear to have been a significant failure in corporate governance," the judge wrote.
He also expressed surprise that Mr. Murdoch had not read a key breach-of-privacy ruling against the News of the World in 2008 that deemed the tabloid "guilty not only of practices tantamount to blackmail, but also of casual and cavalier journalism." "That Mr. Murdoch was not apparently familiar with it says something about the degree to which his organisation engages with the ethical direction of its newspapers," Mr. Leveson said. The judge did, however, credit the independent committee that News Corp. set up to deal with wrongdoing for cooperating with police and handing over evidence.
Mr. Leveson's report weighed in on phone hacking, saying: "The evidence drives me to conclude that this was far more than a covert, secret activity, known to nobody save one or two practitioners of the 'dark arts.'"
He added that "there has been a recklessness in prioritising sensational stories, almost irrespective of the harm that the stories may cause and the rights of those who would be affected....all the while heedless of the public interest."
Mr. Leveson said the News of the World was among British news outlets that used "covert surveillance" and "deception" for stories lacking any public interest.
News Corp. declined to comment on those parts of the report.
Mr. Leveson also criticized the relationship between British politicians and the press.
"Taken as a whole, the evidence clearly demonstrates that, over the last 30-35 years and probably much longer, the political parties of U.K. national Government and of U.K. official Opposition, have had or developed too close a relationship with the press in a way which has not been in the public interest," Mr. Leveson said.
Mr. Leveson also spent months evaluating the relationship between the British press and the police. The Metropolitan Police, which saw two of its top officials resign at the height of the phone-hacking scandal, has apologized to victims of phone hacking for failing to investigate the matter thoroughly in its initial probe.
Overall, Mr. Leveson says he sees "no basis for challenging at any stage the integrity of the police, or that of the senior police officers concerned," but he knocked the force for failures in its initial phone-hacking probe and noted "troubling evidence" of police corruption in a "limited number of cases."
He also rapped the Metropolitan Police for leaking too much information to the press.
The Metropolitan Police said it would study the report "to ensure that the steps we've already taken to rectify past failings are fit for purpose."
