This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/623,471, filed Jul. 18, 2003, entitled "RESOLVING METADATA MATCHED TO MEDIA CONTENT," the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of media content. In particular, embodiments of this invention relate to obtaining and aggregating metadata for media content stored on a plurality of devices.
Due to recent advances in technology, computer users are now able to enjoy many features that provide an improved user experience, such as playing various media and multimedia content on their personal or laptop computers. For example, most computers today are able to play compact discs (CDs) so users can listen to their favorite musical artists while working on their computers. Many computers are also equipped with digital versatile disc (DVD) drives enabling users to watch movies.
In some multimedia environments, a computer has access to a computer-readable medium storing compressed media files. Common media file types include Moving Picture Experts Group audio layer-3 (MP3) files and WINDOWS MEDIA� technologies audio (WMA) and video (WMV) files. The computer typically organizes the media files into playlists when the compressed media files are played on the computer. The files may be organized according to metadata or other property data associated with the media content. Metadata for a digital media file such as an audio file usually includes general information pertaining to the media file itself. This information is typically stored within the file. For example, an audio file may have metadata tags for the song title, song artist, album title, and a rating. In another example, in the case of audio media files, the files may be organized by album, artist, genre, date, or some user-specified selection and ordering of metadata. A user navigates through this organization using menus and graphical displays to render the desired media files.
Often, users store media content on a variety of devices including personal computers, portable consumer electronic devices (e.g., MP3 players), removable hard drives, and network shares. Many of these devices have limited capabilities for metadata processing, updating, using, and querying, while other devices have no such capabilities at all. There is a need for a system that enables the central organization of media content stored on a plurality of devices even if all the media content is not physically stored on the same device (e.g., a computer-readable medium). Further, there is a need for a system that permits metadata for media content stored on a device external to a computing device to be augmented and promoted into the computing device such that the metadata may subsequently be treated (e.g., organized) as if the media content is stored on the computing device.
Accordingly, a system for creating entities on a device that mirror media content stored on a plurality of other devices is desired to address one or more of these and other disadvantages.
Embodiments of the invention include methods for promoting media content to end users through augmentation of metadata associated with the media content. For example, one embodiment of the invention permits metadata for media content stored on a device to be enumerated and promoted into another device (e.g., for display to a user) such that the metadata may be treated as if the media content is actually stored on the other device. The metadata is available to the user even after the device is disconnected or otherwise inaccessible by the other device. Some computing devices (e.g., personal computers) are able to display far richer metadata for the media content than what was presented to the computing device by another computing or storage device. Promoting or virtualizing metadata from a plurality of computing or storage devices into a central device for display to the user enables the creation of a virtual media library on the central device. Including such extended metadata on items of media content is very important to the digital media user. In one embodiment, the virtual media library permits user interaction with metadata for media collections on a personal computer and with metadata for media collections on external devices to occur in a seamless and highly interrelated manner to afford the user a rich media experience by abstracting access to the media collections.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a method collects metadata for media content stored on a plurality of devices. The method includes automatically detecting an event generated in response to an action by a first device. The first device has a media file stored thereon. The method also includes determining an identifier associated with the media file in response to the detected event. The method further includes obtaining metadata for the media file from a metadata provider using the determined identifier. The method stores the obtained metadata in a memory area associated with a second device and enables a user to manipulate the stored metadata.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, one or more computer-readable media have computer-executable components for collecting metadata for media content stored on a plurality of devices. The components include a driver component for automatically detecting a connection from a first device upon creation of the connection by the first device storing a media file. The components further include an identification component for identifying metadata associated with media content stored in the media file. The components further include a retrieval component for obtaining from a metadata provider the metadata identified by the identification component for the media content. The components also include a storage component for storing the metadata obtained by the retrieval component in a memory area associated with a second device. The components also include an application component for enabling a user to manipulate the metadata stored by the storage component.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a system collects metadata for media content stored on a plurality of devices. The system includes a memory area for storing metadata for media content. The media content is stored on a first device. The memory area is associated with a second device. The system also includes a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions for automatically detecting a connection from a first device upon creation of the connection by the first device having media content stored thereon. The computer-executable instructions also include identifying metadata associated with the media content in response to the detected connection. The computer-executable instructions further include obtaining the identified metadata for the media content from a metadata provider. The computer-executable instructions include storing the obtained metadata in a memory area associated with a second device. The computer-executable instructions include displaying the stored metadata to a user and altering the display of the stored metadata responsive to termination of the connection.
In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, an operating system has an event handler associated therewith. The event handler has computer-executable instructions for automatically detecting a connection from a first device upon creation of the connection by the first device having a media file stored thereon. The computer-executable instructions determine an identifier associated with the media file in response to the detected connection. The computer-executable instructions obtain the metadata for the media file from a metadata provider using the determined identifier. The computer-executable instructions store the obtained metadata in a memory area associated with a second device. The computer-executable instructions enable a user to manipulate the stored metadata via an application program associated with the second device.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method collects metadata for media content stored on a plurality of devices. The method includes automatically detecting an event generated in response to an action by a first device. The first device stores a media file. The media file includes media content. The method also includes matching metadata to the media content in response to the detected event. The method further includes obtaining the matched metadata from a metadata provider. The method stores the obtained metadata in a memory area associated with a second device and enables a user to manipulate the stored metadata.
Alternatively, the invention may comprise various other methods and apparatuses.
Other features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
Referring now to the drawings,
A user may organize or otherwise manipulate the metadata using, for example, a media player. In one embodiment, the invention includes copying or promoting metadata for media content stored on media devices such as the portable consumer electronic devices to another device such as the personal computer or other computing device. By aggregating metadata from these sources into a common repository on the computing device the invention provides substantial functional parity among the consumer electronic devices and the computing device. The computing device treats the metadata promoted by one of the consumer electronic devices as if the metadata were associated with media content stored by the computing device. For example, a user of the computing device is able to organize, rate, and otherwise manipulate the promoted metadata.
The invention also augments the metadata by obtaining updated metadata or additional metadata associated with the media content for those computing devices (e.g., personal computers) that are able to display far richer metadata than what was presented to the computing device by the portable consumer electronic devices. In an embodiment of this invention, the personal computer enriches the enumerated media content by offering to update the media content stored on the consumer electronic device with new, additional, updated, corrected, or extended metadata. Another improvement involves allowing the personal computer to offer behaviors or features such as "Play songs on this device that sound like each other."
Exemplary Media Environment
Referring further to the exemplary multimedia environment of
In this environment, the computer 102 stores, on a computer-readable medium 110, only the metadata for the media content that is stored on the consumer electronic devices 112. That is, in one embodiment, the computer 102 does not store the media content from the consumer electronic device 112. The computer 102 may, however, store other media content on the medium 110 for use by a media player program associated with the computer 102. In this manner, the medium 110 acts as a central metadata repository for metadata for media content stored on medium 110 as well as for metadata for media content stored on another device.
One aspect of the present invention enables the user or, particularly, enables a media player program executing on computing device 112 or client, to access, retrieve, and display for the user, so-called metadata. Those skilled in the art are familiar with metadata, which is simply information about data. In the context of the illustrated embodiment, metadata includes information related to specific content of a digital media file being played on the media player. Basic metadata includes, but is not limited to, a title, performer, genre, a track number, and the like. Extended metadata includes, but is not limited to, cover art, a composer, description of content, performer biographies, reviews, ratings, related performers, where to buy similar items, upcoming concerts, ticket sales, URLs to other related experiences including purchase opportunities, a studio, a director, and the like. In one embodiment, extended metadata may be organized into two main categories: metadata retrieved or downloaded, and metadata computed from the media file (e.g., digital signal processing of the file stream).
The user of consumer electronic device 112 connects the device 112 storing a digital media file to computer 102, or otherwise causes the device 112 to communicate with the computer 102, which in turn generates an event. Computer 102 has a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions. In the embodiment of
The storage component 120 shown in
Those skilled in the art will note that the invention software may be implemented with any number and organization of components or modules. That is, the invention is not limited to the specific configuration of components 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124, and 126, but may include more or less components having more or less individual functionality than described herein. For example, the event handler illustrated in
In one example, the metadata is available from the metadata provider 111 via a data communication network 113. The computer 102 and metadata provider 111 are coupled to the data communication network 113. While the network 113 includes the Internet in one example, the teachings of the invention may be applied to any data communication network. Data communication network 113 may support, for example, client/server communications or peer-to-peer connections.
In the examples herein, the media content of the digital media file is described in the context of content embodied on a CD or a DVD. It is to be appreciated and understood that the media content may be embodied on any suitable media and that the specific examples described herein are given to further understanding of the inventive principles. For convenience, a digital media file refers to one or more files representing, for example, a single song track or a collection of tracks such as would be found on an audio CD. The media content may include, without limitation, specially encoded media content (e.g., audio, video, or still images) in the form of an encoded media file.
Aggregating Metadata
Referring next to
The method automatically detects an event generated in response to an action by a first device (e.g., a consumer electronic device) at 202. The consumer electronic device stores a media file. In one embodiment, automatically detecting the event includes automatically detecting a connection from one or more of the following: a consumer electronic device, a portable device, an external device, a handheld device, a computing device, and a storage device. For example, automatically detecting the event may include automatically detecting the insertion of a compact disc into a personal computer. Generating an event based on an action such as this is well known in the art.
The invention matches metadata to the media content in response to the detected event. There are numerous ways known in the art to match metadata to media content. For example, the media content may store a persisted identifier which may be matched to metadata. In another example, metadata may be identified by brute force matching using only bibliographic metadata obtained from the media content (or file storing the media content). In this example, fuzzy means may be employed to perform the matching. The invention is operable with all such means for matching metadata to the media content.
In the specific example of
In one specific example, a table of contents (TOC) value takes the form of a physical identifier for a compact disc identifying the specific digital media file based on the offsets of each track on the disc. The TOC, defined by a well-known specification referred to as the Red Book, identifies audio CD-based absolute times for the start of each track. The TOC, found in the CD's lead-in area, is expected to be the same for all like-entitled CDs published from the same source.
The method sets forth obtaining metadata for the media file from a metadata provider using the determined identifier at 206. Co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/623,471, filed Jul. 18, 2003, entitled "RESOLVING METADATA MATCHED TO MEDIA CONTENT," previously incorporated herein by reference, describes a methodology for obtaining metadata for the media file from a metadata provider using the determined identifier. In one embodiment, obtaining the metadata is device specific or specific to the media content. As such, this embodiment of the invention identifies the device or media content (e.g., by extracting an identifier), and obtains the metadata using the extracted identifier. For example, the method sends the extracted identifier to a web service to obtain the metadata. Alternatively or in addition, the method may obtain or receive the metadata from the consumer electronic device and/or the media content or file directly. In one embodiment, the method prompts the user to determine whether to obtain the metadata associated with the media file prior to actually obtaining the metadata. The method receives a determination from the user in response.
At 208,
If the consumer electronic device has write capability, the media content may be enhanced by updating the files on the consumer electronic device with the obtained (e.g., extended) metadata and enabling behaviors such as "play songs on this device that sound like each other." In this embodiment, the method stores the obtained metadata on the consumer electronic device as soon as the metadata has been received to aid synchronization of the metadata between the central device and the consumer electronic device.
The central device displays the obtained metadata at 210 and enables the user to manipulate the metadata at 212 as if the media content associated with the metadata were stored on the central device. For example, the obtained metadata is displayed to the user via a media player. When the consumer electronic device is disconnected from the central device, the method automatically alters the display of the metadata items associated with the disconnected device at 214. That is, the user does not first need to attempt to render the media content before being informed of the unavailability of the media content. Altering or "ghosting" the display of the metadata from the disconnected device includes dimming, shading, tinting, bolding, italicizing, or the like, the displayed metadata.
One or more computer-readable media have computer-executable instructions for performing the method illustrated in

Exemplary Operating Environment
The computer 130 typically has at least some form of computer readable media. Computer readable media, which include both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media, may be any available medium that may be accessed by computer 130. By way of example and not limitation, computer readable media comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media include volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. For example, computer storage media include RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium that may be used to store the desired information and that may be accessed by computer 130. Communication media typically embody computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and include any information delivery media. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the modulated data signal, which has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. Wired media, such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media, such as acoustic, RF, infrared, and other wireless media, are examples of communication media. Combinations of any of the above are also included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 134 includes computer storage media in the form of removable and/or non-removable, volatile and/or nonvolatile memory. In the illustrated embodiment, system memory 134 includes read only memory (ROM) 138 and random access memory (RAM) 140. A basic input/output system 142 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 130, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 138. RAM 140 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 132. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 130 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. For example,
The drives or other mass storage devices and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
A user may enter commands and information into computer 130 through input devices or user interface selection devices such as a keyboard 180 and a pointing device 182 (e.g., a mouse, trackball, pen, or touch pad). Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are connected to processing unit 132 through a user input interface 184 that is coupled to system bus 136, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port, or a Universal Serial Bus (USB). A monitor 188 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 136 via an interface, such as a video interface 190. In addition to the monitor 188, computers often include other peripheral output devices (not shown) such as a printer and speakers, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface (not shown).
The computer 130 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 194. The remote computer 194 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to computer 130. The logical connections depicted in
When used in a local area networking environment, computer 130 is connected to the LAN 196 through a network interface or adapter 186. When used in a wide area networking environment, computer 130 typically includes a modem 178 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 198, such as the Internet. The modem 178, which may be internal or external, is connected to system bus 136 via the user input interface 184, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to computer 130, or portions thereof, may be stored in a remote memory storage device (not shown). By way of example, and not limitation,
Generally, the data processors of computer 130 are programmed by means of instructions stored at different times in the various computer-readable storage media of the computer. Programs and operating systems are typically distributed, for example, on floppy disks or CD-ROMs. From there, they are installed or loaded into the secondary memory of a computer. At execution, they are loaded at least partially into the computer's primary electronic memory. The invention described herein includes these and other various types of computer-readable storage media when such media contain instructions or programs for implementing the steps described below in conjunction with a microprocessor or other data processor. The invention also includes the computer itself when programmed according to the methods and techniques described herein.
For purposes of illustration, programs and other executable program components, such as the operating system, are illustrated herein as discrete blocks. It is recognized, however, that such programs and components reside at various times in different storage components of the computer, and are executed by the data processor(s) of the computer.
Although described in connection with an exemplary computing system environment, including computer 130, the invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. The computing system environment is not intended to suggest any limitation as to the scope of use or functionality of the invention. Moreover, the computing system environment should not be interpreted as having any dependency or requirement relating to any one or combination of components illustrated in the exemplary operating environment. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, mobile telephones, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more computers or other devices. Generally, program modules include, but are not limited to, routines, programs, objects, components, and data structures that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
An interface in the context of a software architecture includes a software module, component, code portion, or other sequence of computer-executable instructions. The interface includes, for example, a first module accessing a second module to perform computing tasks on behalf of the first module. The first and second modules include, in one example, application programming interfaces (APIs) such as provided by operating systems, component object model (COM) interfaces (e.g., for peer-to-peer application communication), and extensible markup language metadata interchange format (XMI) interfaces (e.g., for communication between web services).
The interface may be a tightly coupled, synchronous implementation such as in Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE), COM, or distributed COM (DCOM) examples. Alternatively or in addition, the interface may be a loosely coupled, asynchronous implementation such as in a web service (e.g., using the simple object access protocol). In general, the interface includes any combination of the following characteristics: tightly coupled, loosely coupled, synchronous, and asynchronous. Further, the interface may conform to a standard protocol, a proprietary protocol, or any combination of standard and proprietary protocols.
The interfaces described herein may all be part of a single interface or may be implemented as separate interfaces or any combination therein. The interfaces may execute locally or remotely to provide functionality. Further, the interfaces may include additional or less functionality than illustrated or described herein.
In operation, computer 130 executes computer-executable instructions such as those illustrated in
The order of execution or performance of the methods illustrated and described herein is not essential, unless otherwise specified. That is, elements of the methods may be performed in any order, unless otherwise specified, and that the methods may include more or less elements than those disclosed herein. For example, it is contemplated that executing or performing a particular element before, contemporaneously with, or after another element is within the scope of the invention.
When introducing elements of the present invention or the embodiment(s) thereof, the articles "a," "an," "the," and "said" are intended to mean that there are one or more of the elements. The terms "comprising," "including," and "having" are intended to be inclusive and mean that there may be additional elements other than the listed elements.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As various changes could be made in the above constructions, products, and methods without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Just kidding....... Maybe not.
I'm a romantic at heart. I like genuine connections with people, whether they be fleeting or life-long. I value honesty, kindness and affection. I strive to live my life with integrity.
I enjoy every moment, whether it be delightfully happy, painfully poignant, ravishingly beautiful or supremely sad (yes, I have a thing for alliterations).
In more concrete terms, I'm really into meditation (big surprise huh?), exercise and more recently, outdoorsy stuff.
What did YOU notice about me?
Movies: Got a confession to make here. I can never remember the names of movies that I like. Actually, my memory is pretty bad for everything except abstract topics. But I'll give it a whirl. Braveheart, Gladiator, Hachiku, Passion of the Christ (I went through a roll of tissue paper with that one), Thomas Crown Affair, Sound of Music, Memento, I am Sam.
Shows: Don't watch much TV. But I like the occasional episode of Friends, Seinfeld and Big Bang Theory. I hear Breaking Bad is all the rage, right now. But sadly, I don't know what it is. Nor do I know anything about Mad Men (?).
Food: Pretty easy going here. I'm partial to spicy food though. As a result Indian (obviously), Mexican and Middle Eastern are my favorites. But I can eat anything as long as I have my trusty sidekick - Sriracha sauce.
2) Friends and family
3) Sharing love
4) Working hard
5) Nature
6) Soul stirring music
If you are interested, do message me. Don't just visit my profile and hope that I'll message you. If you are that kind of person, we won't get along well anyway.

On the heels of an official visit to Mississippi State, Lewis has decided to be a Bulldog.
"I am going to sign with Mississippi State," said Wendell. "I just feel like it's a good program and I feel like I can go fit in there."
Lewis was already leaning to Mississippi State prior to his weekend visit, but the trip to Starkville pushed him to close out his recruitment.
"I liked everything over there," said the power forward. "I liked the players and the coaches and the campus. I like the academic center and all of the facilities there. I just feel like it's the right place for me."
Hosted by Bulldog freshmen Dee Bost and Romero Osby, Wendell believes he can fit in and make plays next season.
"I am going to play the four," said Lewis. "I like all of the players and I think I can fit in with them. I am going to go in there and help the team."
A press conference scheduled for 1:30 today is being rescheduled for Wednesday. Wendell is planning to sign his national letter of intent earlier some time on Wednesday.
Sitting along side Wendell will be his head coach Woodie Jackson. Coach Jackson had no shortage of great things to say about his latest division one signee.
"He's an outstanding young man and easy to coach," said Coach Woodie Jackson. "He is good facing the goal and playing with his back to the goal. We knew at his size he would be a four man, but have some three skills. We had a new system for him to play in, so we would like to think we had a hand in helping him improve."
With several college programs showing a late rush of interest as they rounded out their classes, things got a little hectic around Selma.
"It hasn't been to tough on me, but it's been a little tougher on him," said Jackson. "I enjoyed working with Wendell because his grandfather coached me. I wanted to give something back to them. I played junior college ball for his grandfather. I am real happy for them."
Coach Jackson, a coach with multiple state championships, is no stranger to the recruiting process.
"I have sent many players to college and at the end end of the day it's their decision," said Jackson. "I can offer advice or recommendations, but it's always been their decision.
"Once he got a feel for the coaches and the players at Mississippi State he was happy there. I felt he could fit in anywhere because he has the skills. They have a lot to work with and they can develop him."
Over the course of his career, Coach Jackson has crossed paths with Mississippi State's Rick Stansbury several times.
"I have been knowing them for a long time," said Coach Jackson of the Bulldog coaching staff. "I have known Coach Stansbury sinc he was an assistant there under Richard Williams. I have a picture of us together at the old Nike camp in Indianapolis, so we are old friends."
Lewis joins Noxubee County standout Shaunnesy Smith as signees for the Bulldogs signing class.

Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to the rule providing for consideration of H.R. 2, the ``Patient Rights Repeal Act of 2011.'' This bill is a giant step backwards for our country. By repealing the landmark achievement of the Affordable Care Act we would be taking away affordable coverage and financial security from thousands of my constituents and millions more across the country.
A vote in support of this bill is a vote for insurance companies over everyday Americans; it is a vote to return us to the days when fine print was used to cancel coverage for hard-working people; and it is a vote to take away parents' peace of mind, who will no longer know if their children will be able see a doctor when they get sick.
Mr. Speaker, at a time when Americans will soon finally be free from the fear that affordable coverage will not be available to them and their families when they need it the most, repealing the Affordable Care Act would be devastating. Without the Affordable Care Act:
196,000 young adults would lose their insurance coverage through their parents' health plans;
Insurance companies would once again be allowed to cut off someone's coverage unexpectedly when they are in an accident or become sick because of a simple mistake on an application;
New insurance plans would no longer be required to cover recommended preventive services, like mammograms and flu shots, without cost sharing; and
269,623 on Medicare would see significantly higher prescription drug costs
Mr. Speaker, every time that I go home to my district, I meet with constituents who thank me for voting for the Affordable Care Act. They explain to me the peace of mind that they feel knowing that they will be able to afford the prescription drugs that they need; that their children can see a doctor when they get sick or break a bone; that their breast cancer treatment will be covered on their policy, rather than being written off as a preexisting condition. Health care reform provided the following benefits for the residents of my district:
Gave tax credits and other assistance to up to 146,000 families 15,100 small businesses have seen 50% tax credits to provide health care for employees.
Over 16,000 additional small businesses have been made eligible for health care exchanges that make insurance more affordable.
Help for small businesses are help for working families. Small businesses are the engine of the economy of my district and of our nation.
Improved Medicare for 63,000 beneficiaries, including closing the donut hole
Extended coverage to 88,000 uninsured residents
Guaranteed that 17,500 residents with pre-existing conditions can obtain coverage
Protected 1,100 families from bankruptcy due to unaffordable health care costs
I refuse to vote for a piece of legislation that will reverse these benefits and harm so many of the people that I represent. Health care reform is a moral obligation to the American people and a critical part of our long-term economic recovery. It represents the largest middle-class tax cut in history and is projected to cut the deficit by $138 trillion over 20 years.
Mr. Speaker, anyone who is serious about deficit reduction cannot in good conscience vote for this legislation. In addition to being the wrong thing to do to hard-working families, single-mothers, and senior citizens across the country, it is fiscally irresponsible. In fact, I would call this bill fiscally irrational--H.R. 2 would cost $1.3 trillion to repeal a piece of legislation that promises to cut the budget deficit by $138 trillion in the long-term. This does not make any fiscal sense; it is the exact opposite of what we should be doing and it is an unfair burden to place on future generations.
I oppose this bill because it threatens the peace of mind, financial security, and physical wellbeing of seniors, parents, and children across the country. I oppose this bill because I would rather side with everyday Americans than insurance company executives. I stand with the single moms, who no longer have to stay up all night worrying about how to pay the premiums to cover their child's illness. I stand with the senior citizens who built our roads and bridges and fought our wars and now can finally afford the prescriptions drugs that they need.
For all of these hard-working, middle class people, I strongly urge my colleagues to join me in opposing the rule providing for the consideration of H.R. 2.

Listed below are our major profile areas across-the-board in the form of research centers, strategic research areas and knowledge and innovation communities (KICs).
Research centres are a way to gather and strengthen research areas outside the classical subjects, enabling collaboration between scientists from several research areas.
Strategic research areas are designated by the government with the aim form world-class research environments in a number of areas of importance to the Swedish society or the Swedish industry.
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) designates strategic research areas in which we are involved in so-called "Knowledge and Innovation Communities" (KICs)
Our Nobel Laureates and most influential scientists
Four Nobel prizes; two in physics and two in chemistry, have been awarded to scientists from Uppsala University within the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology. The Svedberg, Professor of Physical Chemistry, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1926. He constructed the first ultracentrifuge for determining the size and form of various macromolecules, a separation method that has been of immense value to biochemistry and molecular biology. Manne Siegbahn, Professor of Physics, introduced modern nuclear physics to Sweden. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1924 for his contributions to X-ray spectroscopy. Arne Tiselius, Uppsala's first Professor of Biochemistry, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1948. The method he divised, electrophoresis of protein, played a major role in establishing Uppsala as a leader in biochemical separation methods. Kai Siegbahn, Professor of Physics (son of Manne Siegbahn) received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1981. His work in high-resolution electron spectroscopy provided an important analytical method for studying the effects of chemical binding.
In addition to the Nobel Prize laureates, some of our best known historic scientists are Carl von Linné, Olof Rudbeck and Anders Celsius. Read more about natural scientists in 18th-century Uppsala.
Celsius-Linné Lectures
The faculty arranges Celsius-Linné Lectures in commemoration of Anders Celsius and Carl von Linnaeus. The selected lecturers are highly acclaimed and internationally well-known scientists

Ford is pouring over $1 billion to revive its Lincoln brand, with focus on creating a luxury car-buying experience that will entice younger, better-educated and wealthier buyers. To implement the magic, Ford its teaching its dealers the tricks by having them undergo training at the Lincoln Academy. The academy aims to raise dealer's consciousness and sharpen their senses with exercises like sampling cheese.
The training was indeed challenging. One of the trainers asked dealers of the age of their customers, several of them relied with numbers in the 70s and 80s. Doug Fiedler, a Lincoln Academy trainer who consults for firms like Ritz-Carlton Hotels and Norwegian Cruise Lines, responded that people who "literally live their whole lives to aspire" to buy a Lincoln. He said that this is not a good business model.
Lingering questions over the state of Ford's luxury brand were answered through the launch of the Lincoln MKZ luxury sedan – the first of four new or redesigned models in four years. According to data from Bloomberg Industries and researcher Edmunds.com, Lincoln posted record sales of the MKZ in each of the past two months.
The MKZ even spent fewer days on dealer lots than the BMW 3-Series or the Mercedes-Benz C-class. Ford considers Lincoln as vital to its future as it needs successful high-profit luxury line to complement its own range of vehicles. Ford posted a record $8.34-billion pretax profit in North America in 2012 and has posted a 0.8 percentage point gain in market share so far this year.

- "So, with all the adventuring you do...Did you happen to find a Golden Feather?... My girlfriend, she's wanted one of those things for the longest time... And actually, I kind of promised that I'd send one to her..."
- — Hoskit
Hoskit is a character from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He is one of the Rito guards living on Dragon Roost Island and is assigned guard duty on the second floor, just outside the Rito Chieftain's room.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
Unlike the majority of his colleagues, Hoskit is not strictly formal; instead, he is fairly laid-back and seems to put more effort into thinking about how to make his girlfriend happy rather than focusing on his job. Upon first meeting Link, he casually identifies him as an "adventure-guy seeking action and excitement, sailing from island to island".
If Link engages in conversation with him, Hoskit, wanting to find a Golden Feather to present to his girlfriend who has always wanted one, will ask him if has ever seen such a spoil during his travels. Whether he has seen one or not, Hoskit will tell Link that if he ever comes across one, he would be very grateful if he could bring it to him. Interestingly enough though; if presented with one, he will ask Link to bring him as many as 20 instead, wanting to see his girlfriend overjoyed.
If presented with 20 Golden Feathers, Hoskit will give Link 100 Rupees and send the feathers in a letter to his girlfriend right away. At some point after this, his girlfriend will send a letter to Link, personally thanking him and including a Piece of Heart.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

Typical Monday? Had a hard day at work? Boss like a diaper?
Sounds like you need to go diving! Join us for a one tank dive at the infamous Shores. All skill and experience levels can appreciate this dive location. Easy entry and exit and depths that can satisfy the new beginner or challenge the experienced! Need a buddy? No worries....there is always someone to team up with around this group!!! As the motto goes.....All We Do Is Dive...and party alittle.
NIGHT DIVE!!!!!!!! Its that time of year again so come out for the night dive experience! Ensure you bring your lights! (Main, Backup, and Tank).
CONTACT INFORMATION:[masked]--6379! Feel free to text or call if you're running late or need information.
The Virtual Donation Jar is always out (for the Meetup site costs and general fund). It's strictly voluntary, but is very much appreciated and needed: Click here for the DONATION JAR
If you have not submitted a Liability Release for Power Scuba, please follow this link to the file, print, sign, and bring to the event along with your C-Card (scuba certification card). You need to do this at least once a year: Liability Release and Assumption of Risk
You must also read this: Disclaimer and Clarification... AKA Terms of Service...AKA Terms and Conditions
Anyone with a medical conditionpossibly counter-indicative to diving must have a doctors signature on a diving waiver form and submit signed form to Bill Powers (or an organizer) before they may attend any Power Scuba event. YOU MAY NOT ATTEND AN EVENT WITH AN UNDISCLOSED MEDICAL CONDITION. Doing so is grounds for expulsion from the group. Here is our medical statement: Medical Statement Therein you'll find a Doctor Waiver form as well.
Attending any scuba event Power Scuba facilitates constitutes attendee's affirmation they are medically fit to dive, certified to dive by a nationally-recognized agency, have the necessary skill & training level for the dive being offered, have read the Terms and Conditions, and have submitted a signed Liability Release to an organizer.
Important Note:It is not the organizer's role to lead your dive (or to wait for you after you come out of the water). He/she merely facilitates you getting to the pre-dive meeting location. The Organizer will not assign you a buddy nor will he/she be leading the dive as a "group dive". Visibility and liability do not allow for that. Nor will the Organizer tell you whether you are skilled enough to make any particular dive. That is for you (only) to decide. When you enter the water, you (and your buddy) are on your own. You must plan and execute your dive with your dive buddy only. Once members arrive at the meeting spot, the Organizer becomes simply another diver.
For Boat Dives: Any overage (usually less than $50) resulting from our local dive boat trips is put into a dedicated Group Boat Fund. This allows us to make up the difference if we don't completely fill up a future boat charter. No other use is made of this money.
Power Scuba bears no responsibility or liability for a member's loss (gas, airfare, hotel fees, etc) in the event of a canceled event.
Your participation constitutes your affirmation you agree to these above rules and disclaimers.... and that your buddy(s) (if applicable) has read and agrees to the same.
I will be there 615... Hope to catch you guys before you get in....

Hida Nezu was a Crab Clan bushi.
Nezumi Edit
Nezu was appointed at the Kaiu Wall. His comrade Kuni Sensin advised him not to taunt the newly arrived tribe of nezumi, the fierce Crippled Bone. Nezu did not follow his advice and an unarmed ratling quickly defeated the Crab using the Mochatchikkan fighting style. [1]
Naga Edit
Nezu hated the Naga after they withdrew their support of the Crab during the Siege of Kyuden Hiruma in 1130. Hida Yakamo himself attemted to convince Nezu to forget their betrayal. [2]

There were no shortages of elaborate costumes, doggie treats and proud pups at the annual Krewe des Chiens parade on Saturday in downtown Lafayette.
From family pets and service dogs to adoptable pups and rescue pets, more than 200 animals paraded in front of hundreds of area residents lining Lafayette and Vermilion streets. The parade had a larger purpose: raising money for six shelters, including Animal Rescue Foundation, and to care for retired police dogs.
"There has been a great turnout," said Cheri Trowbridge, parade captain. "It's very family oriented, and the police always love working it."
Trowbridge said the turnout this year has been the biggest the krewe has seen yet, noting that the weather on Saturday with sunny skies and pleasant temperatures helped to draw the large crowds.
Matching tutus, "Frozen" characters (from the popular Disney film) and Wolfgang "Pups" marched along the route, tossing beads, candy and for canine viewers, doggie treats.
Most of the owners and their dogs dressed in accordance with this year's theme, "Super Pups Parade Again!"
The krewe holds three main fundraisers: the dog parade; a Mardi Gras ball, which took place on Jan. 30; and a raffle to choose the canine royalty. However, shirt sales and donations at the end of the parade are also contributed.
Since 1998, the krewe has raised more than $300,000 — $50,000 from last year alone. Owners who want to walk their dogs in the parade must either pay a $25 pre-registration fee or a $35 registration fee on the day of the parade.
The parade featured a king, queen, duke and duchess, all chosen from a raffle, with raffle tickets each costing $25.
Kimberly Coe, a Krewe des Chiens veteran who has participated in the festivities for the past decade, considered the parade the place to be on the Saturday before Mardi Gras.
"It's a wonderful experience," she said. "It's a challenge to try to throw things and walk a dog at the same time, but seeing all the kids get excited — the dogs love it. They just love it."
Coe walked alongside her old English sheep dog, Lillie.
Winners of the "best non themed costumes," Brandy LeJeune and her crew of six, including Gracie, a golden retriever therapy dog, dressed up as memorable characters from the movie "Beetlejuice."
Macie Richard, one of the hundreds of people lining the parade route, said the pet parade is a great addition to Mardi Gras festivities in Lafayette and a kid-friendly favorite.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say this is probably my kids' favorite parade," she said. "We are big dog people, so we always bring our two rescue dogs with us and dress them up."
The Animal Rescue Foundation brought 15 dogs ready for adoption to this year's parade.
"It's all about exposure — just getting the dogs out and letting people know what we do as far as fostering, adoption, what it takes," said David Guilbeau with the foundation.

I searched on it for the first week but noticed that prices are not really 'wholesale' or 'liquidation'
What I do is ask for sample units, therefore not spotted by government officials(dont have a license) and are listed as samples. Getting a brand new XBOX 360 with wireless receiver, 2 wireless controllers, 7 games, metal casing and a BUNCH of more stuff for 150 dollars was the best thing i did in my life.

In today's terrifying health news, the Los Angeles Times reports that two medical scopes used at UCLA's Ronald Reagan Medical Center may have been contaminated with the potentially deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacteria carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Two patients have died from complications that may be connected to the bacteria, and authorities believe that 179 more patients have been exposed.
Most healthy people aren't at risk of catching a CRE infection, but in hospitals this bacteria can be quite dangerous: CRE kills as many as half of all people in whom the infection has spread to the bloodstream. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are working with the California Department of Public Health to investigate the situation, which is expected to result in more infections.
The problem isn't just in Los Angeles, though. Last month, USA Today reported that hospitals around the country struggle with transmissions of bacteria on these scopes—medical devices commonly used to treat digestive-system problems—and there have been several other under-the-radar outbreaks of CRE.
This is pretty scary stuff, considering that we are starting to fall behind in the antibiotics arms race against bacteria. Due in large part to unnecessary medical prescriptions and overuse of antibiotics in our food supply, these superbugs are on the rise. In a study published last year that focused specifically on hospitals in the Southeast, researchers reported that...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
She lived with me since birth, in 09 I got physical custody of her and the father signed off on it, now 3 yrs later he steps back in and says he wants full sole custody. He played no part in her life for the first 2+ yrs. Her mother is out of the picture and has been pretty much for almost 1 yr. How can the courts take her away from her only home she knows, even after in 09 the father signed over physical custody to me, at only seen her maybe once every 2-3 months. The judge stated since he was her biological father he had rights (which he hasn't exercised in 6 yrs), and since we smoke (but smoked 2 yrs ago when he signed her over) that they had the right to give her to him. She hates him, hates going to his house, my lawyer, law guardian, mothers lawyer and mental health say stay w/me.The judge today granted him sole custody just because he said he wants it. The "father" has rights, but doesn't the child have rights too. She has told the judge she wants to stay with me. For 6 years he has not proven he is a father. He was asked why he didn't visit his daughter on his days off of work, his reply on record was, "his wife likes when I bring her lunch on my days off, so I take her lunch" doesn't some sort of extraordinary circumstances apply to him being absent for the first 2 yrs of her life. and doesn't him singing her over to me in court mean something. He would have never did anything about it until I (the grandmother) took him to court for child support. He was fine with not having anything to do with his child. He, his wife and his mother had lied in court, but my lawyer never brought witnesses in to rebut it because it was minor????? The life of the child I raised for her entire life is not minor. please help !!!!!
It sounds like you have a good case. The standard is what is in the best interest of the children. Work closely with your lawyer to obtain the best results. Good luck.
I have been a criminal attorney in New York for almost 25 years. website: Brooklynlaw.net Phone #: 718-208-6094 email: firstname.lastname@example.com. This answer is only for informational purposes and is not meant as legal advice.Ask a similar question
The biological father has superior rights of custody over a non-parent, so the court can, and will , typically give the father/mother the child back even after they agreed to give up custody. The courts will do what is in the best interests of the child and that is always to be with their parent. A six year olds preference is but only one factor a court will consider when making a custody determination. It sounds like you already went to a hearing and lost. If that is the case, then your only remedy at this point is to take an appeal. It also sounds like perhaps your attorney did not put on a good case against the father. Make sure that you file your notice of appeal within 30-days after you receive the decision and order. Good Luck.Ask a similar question
The judge cannot give custody until after a hearing on the issue. Since you have had custody for many years, that is what is called an extraordinary circumstance and the issue of custody must be decided on bests interests of the child which at this point can only be decided after a hearing. In regard to the father being able to come forward at this time to request custody, that is always a parent's right. However, if he will prevail is another issue. Work with your attorney and the child's lawyer to prove the child's best interests lie with you.

We went through a trial and finished on this past Fri. Feb 1st, and the judge granted him sole custody. How after days away from 6 yrs. can he just walk in and take her. When she was born he did nothing, until child support court, then he still proceeded to do nothing, only a visit every 2-3 months until last Dec 2011, he said he wanted every other weekend -- but up to that point he had open visitation. So we agreed, and now because his wife is in the picture he wants full sole and gets it. Everyone my lawyer, my daughters lawyer, the law guardian, and the people from mental health say for her to stay here. "Biological" means he can take her after not giving a crap for the 1st 6 yrs. He paid child support and has tried 3 times to get it lowered, and every time he goes it gets raised. So he figures if he has custody he won't have to pay. He has not bought her anything else, nor did he pay for her preschool for 2 yrs, or even school clothes for her school this year in kindergarten. They wanted her at their wedding and we paid for the dress, we took her there, we were the ones for the first 3 years to go to him with her, and in the last 1-2 yrs when she gets picked up or dropped off it is by his mother not him. If there is such thing as a putative father that they allow rights to after certain times why not grandparents who have taken on the responsibility just like a parent and we are blood, where a putative father is not blood most of the time. We are at the point of appeal that needs to be filed by Monday Feb 4, because the court she is to go live with him on the 12th of Feb. She does not want to go, when she was told she started sucking her thumb of which she never even did this as a baby, and started wetting the bed at night, she also has these fits which is very unusual for her. Why did the judge favor him because he stepped up after 6 yrs, and they claim it is because now he is married and has a house. She still lives in the same house she lived in when she was born, and we weren't FORCED to support her like he was when we took he to court for support, he "claimed" it wasn't his and lied on the stand several times. My lawyer said it was small stuff and there was no need to rebut the facts it wouldn't make a difference the judges mind was set as to her decision from literally day one. One the first day of trial she told everyone she was awarding him custody and never changed her thoughts on it, even after he said on record he didn't come to visit his daughter because his wife liked when he brought her lunch on his days off and that was why he never visited. And one more thing on his weekend visits he has to work, where he works it is mandatory weekends, so all of my granddaughters "BONDING" time was with his wife, he would see her for 2 hours on Fridays, 2 hours on Sat and they wake her up before he goes to work on Sundays to say goodbye, all the rest of the time was the wife. So if he has no quality time with her on his weekends, and lunch is more important with the wife than to come visit his daughter of whom he says now he wants to be a father, I think we go a bad deal. Sorry it was so long, but any other advise would be appreciated-- and do you know a great lawyer on grand parent custody that would like to do a pro-bono case so I do not lose my pride and joy to someone who really doesn't want his child he just wants to make his wife happy, and not pay child support. We even said if it is the money fine we don't want his support, because money does not make you a parent, its the time -- physical and emotional -- spent with a child that makes you a parent.
Unfortunately the only thing you can do is appeal the decision.

Lil Wayne In An Induced Coma Following Seizures
The 30-year-old was admitted into the ICU on Tuesday evening after suffering from multiple seizures originally, but was re-admitted after bodyguards found him in his room shaking uncontrollably on his floor and unconscious.
According to reports, he was unable to be stabilized by the ICU and has been "given his last rites" with family and friends surrounding him on Friday evening.
Reports also speculate that the rapper has been placed on a medically-induced coma and is breathing through tubes after he was in need of stabilization upon arriving at Cedars Sinai.
Sources have told TMZ that there is evidence of Lil Wayne going on a "Sizzurp binge" after he was released from the hospital on Wednesday.
Doctors apparently found high amounts of codeine in his system and needed his stomach pumped three times when he was admitted.

AAAAAAAAND im back once again to talk about yet another interresting girl on the leaue, this time: Lux the Lady of Luminosity.
An interresting champ indeed. But what do we know about her?
Born from the famous Crowguard family Lux was very skilled already but one day she discovered she had a especial connection whit a particular class of magic: Light.
At first she was a just a scout, who also managed to hide behind enemy lines in Noxus and discover plans of a Noxian attack on Ionia. But how smart she really is?
Apparently behind her cheerful, and kind of stupid looking, personality she seems pretty smart. Why? well the Noxian High Comand is suposed to have only the best of varius tipes of techinques in Noxus, counting Magic, Warfare and Espionage adn if Lux managed to sneak and get all that information without them even noticing is already a surpricing feat, and lets not forget that that light binding of hers, she learned it when she saw Morgana using her Dark Binding. SO it seems Lux is capable of analizing abailities and adapting them to her own type of magic.
Then here is the tricky part: her personality. I say tricky because in her quotes she seems very cheerfull and always keeping her team positive but something in her makes you wonder if she is trying to hide something...
Maybe her way of speaking or.... well her Laugh is proff that she may be insane in a sertain degree, even if its just a little. Also her Jokes:
- "Double rainbow? What does it mean?..."
- Play "Well, a "double rainbow" is a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light due to the sun shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Does that explain it?"
May suggest that shes bipolar.... there is someting fishy about her, maybe it will be better explored when she gets her VU, we will see. Lets not forget her Laugh is one of the most annoying/funny in the game along whit the likes of Singed, Lulu and Jinx who are not particulary sane.
What you think about her?
