Several Capitals defensemen have talked about how the coaching staff is encouraging any and all blue liners to learn how to make the right decision about jumping up in the play so they can take opportunities when they see them.
It's a shift from how the team played under Dale Hunter, who tried to minimize risk, and Bruce Boudreau, who told only a few blueliners to pinch. Assistant coach Calle Johansson, a former offensive defenseman himself, explained why they want to get everyone involved. (For more on this, check out my story from Wednesday's paper.)
"Why not? I know what you're thinking: [Jeff] Schultz is a defensive defenseman, [John] Erskine," Johansson explained. "Obviously we all know that [Mike] Green is one of the best in the league, and [John] Carlson is great and all that stuff but who said if there's a chance, Schultz couldn't join the rush? We need four guys on the attack and he's as important as anybody else. He just gotta believe it himself and that's our job: to make him believe it."
For stay-at-home defensemen, it's a new request and freedom they haven't always been afforded.
"I noticed that right away when I talked to them. They looked kind of surprised," Johansson said. "It's our job to tell them to and if they screw up, who cares. Mike Green screws up when he joins the rush too, you can't be afraid of it. You've got to let them make a mistake and keep playing."
Johansson said he's not concerned about players who might not have a natural instinct to join the rush over thinking a play or hesitating. He knows they'll need some time to adjust but he believes they'll be able to make the transition.
"We can all change. These guys are not old," Johansson said. "They've been around for a lot of years, but they're not old. So you can change a little bit, sure."

Another ruse threatens arrest for shirking jury duty
An email scam alleging "illegal software use" has been reported in other Southern states, including Georgia, that says recipients are expected to appear in an unspecified state court.
"Anyone receiving such an email in Florida should not open any attachments or click on links in the emails," said Craig Waters, director of public information for the Florida Supreme Court. "A notice about upcoming court appearances in Florida would not be given to state residents in this manner."
In Louisiana, Waters said, these emails have impersonated the domain names of well-known law firms and may contain an attachment, supposedly a court notice or summons, or may contain a link to a website. Some reports say that the attachment or link may download a virus into the user's computer or device.
The attorney general of Louisiana reportedly has launched an investigation.
Juror Scam
In various parts of the United States, citizens are being targeted by phone calls and threatened with prosecution for failing to comply with jury service in federal or state courts, according to a warning posted on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida's website.
In the calls, the threat of a fine for shirking jury service is used to coerce those called into providing confidential data, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud. These calls are not from real court officials, the court said.
"Federal courts do not require anyone to provide any sensitive information in a telephone call," the court said. "Most contact between a federal court and a prospective juror will be through the U.S. Mail, and any phone contact by real court officials will not include requests for Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive information."
The court said it is a crime for anyone to falsely represent himself or herself as a federal court official. The federal judiciary takes seriously such an offense. Persons receiving such a telephone call should not provide the requested information, and should notify the clerk of court's office of the U.S. district court in their area.

The archbishop stated that the Holy See, who has been a part of negotiations regarding the convention, is very concerned with the protection of the rights, dignity, and worth of persons with disabilities. "The Holy See has consistently called for disabled individuals to be completely and compassionately integrated into society, convinced that they possess full and inalienable human rights," he said.
"While there are many helpful articles in the Convention, including those that address education and the very important role of the home and the family, surely the living heart of this document lies in its reaffirmation of the right to life," Migliore continued. "For far too long, and by far too many, the lives of people with disabilities have been undervalued or thought to be of a diminished dignity and worth."
"My delegation worked assiduously to make the text a basis upon which to reverse that assumption and to ensure the full enjoyment of all human rights by people with disabilities."
The Archbishop then offered for the record, a few positions of the Holy See on the Convention. As stated by Migliore, the most important of his points was in regard to rights for reproductive and sexual health services for those with disabilities. "The Holy See," he said, "understands access to reproductive health as being a holistic concept that does not consider abortion or access to abortion as a dimension of those terms."
"However, even with this understanding, we opposed the inclusion of such a phrase in this article, because in some countries reproductive health services include abortion, thus denying the inherent right to life of every human being, affirmed by article 10 of the Convention."
"It is surely tragic," the archbishop continued, "that, wherever fetal defect is a precondition for offering or employing abortion, the same Convention created to protect persons with disabilities from all discrimination in the exercise of their rights, may be used to deny the very basic right to life of disabled unborn persons."
"For this reason," he said, "and despite the many helpful articles this Convention contains, the Holy See is unable to sign it."

The Congreso de las Acequias, the governing body of the New Mexico Acequia Association, is a federation of regional delegates. The delegates to the Congreso can come from two types of regions:
Type 1 Region: This type of Region has an established regional acequia association. This type of region has automatic representation on the Congreso de las Acequias. The number of delegates depends on the number of acequias in that regional association. Each regional acequia association names its own delegates by completing a Type 1 Membership Form. Then those delegates are affirmed at the annual meeting of the Congreso de las Acequias and those delegates remain in place until the regional acequia association names new delegates.
Type 2 Region: This type of Region does not have an organized regional acequia association. However, these regions are recognized for purposes of representation. A Type 2 region can have only one delegate. A region can name a delegate by completing a Type 2 membership form. Then the delegate is affirmed at the annual meeting of the Congreso de las Acequias. The term for a Type 2 delegate is one year.

Moving past the Duggars and the Sister Wives, TLC has identified its latest bizarre subculture to document: virgins.
"Virgin Diaries is an hour-long special showcasing 20- and 30-something virgins (interesting that it doesn't aim for any older ones) that premieres Sunday. A trailer for the special begins with these comments:
"I'm 30 and I'm a virgin."
"I'm 29 and I'm a virgin."
"I'm not a virgin entirely by choice."
"We're saving our first kiss for our wedding."
The trailer then shows an awkward, flailing first kiss between a bride and groom, which quickly went viral. This version of it on YouTube has generated 1.7 million views since it was uploaded Nov. 27. Comments range from cruel ("Is she trying to swallow him whole?") to sympathetic ("How said is it that you all make fun of someone's wedding day?").
It's hard not to cringe for these earnest newlyweds when you consider the feedback their wedding day has generated. Critics have already blasted TLC for exploiting them. The cable network was quick to defend the show:
"Losing one's virginity is a big life decision," TLC's west coast vice president of production, Timothy Kuryak, told ABCNews.com. "It seemed like one of those seminal life moments that's interesting to follow for TLC."
So was born "Virgin Diaries," an hour long reality special starring a group of 20 and 30-something virgins that premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on TLC. A trailer for the show features Carey, a 35-year-old bachelor who confesses that he's "not a virgin entirely by choice" and three 30-year-old female roommates from British Columbia who Kuryak said are "saving themselves for when they meet their husbands."
But the show's must-see factor comes from Ryan, 31, and Shanna, 27, a couple who decided to save their first kiss, let alone their virginity, until their wedding day. "It was a religious choice for both of them," Kuryak said.
Shanna had kissed other people before Ryan; Ryan had not. That fact becomes sweetly apparent when Ryan lifts up his bride's veil, plants his lips on hers, and sucks vigorously away.
Some critics have dubbed "Virgin Diaries" "TLC's newest gawk-fest" and its participants "exploitation victims." Kuryak countered, "We're not trying to make light of this or treat it in a sort of trivial way. We want to document these peoples' stories and why they make this decision."
"A lot of stories about later in life virgins talk about it like a problem," he said. "We want to show that this is something that can be celebrated."
What do you think? Is this an earnest celebration or a ratings-fueled mockery? Do you know any couples who saved their first kiss for their wedding day? Would you?

The world recently lost one of its modern visionaries with the untimely passing of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs transformed the technological landscape into something magical, beautiful, and endlessly fascinating, and all because he wasn't afraid to think big, and to think against the grain. His Apple legacy made him a household name, and his brave fight against the cancer that ultimately claimed his life made him a global-scale inspiration. But what many people may not know – and what Steve Jobs may someday ultimately stand for – is that he was a living, breathing example of greatness against all odds.
More than just a genius and a brave idealist, Steve Jobs overcame great adversity to become the man that we all felt we knew – and that we certainly loved. His biological mother was an unwed graduate student who arranged for a college educated family to adopt him. However, his designated adoptive parents decided last-minute that they rather preferred to have a girl, and a hasty change of plans put Steve into the hands of the people he would come to know as his parents. When Steve's biological mother found out his adoptive parents were not college educated, she refused to sign the adoption papers, only relenting several months later when it was promised that Steve would go to college. However, that was a promise Job's parents could not keep with their limited financial means. Steve Jobs never did graduate from college. But he also never gave up on his vision, and persisted in discovering and living up to that vision until the day he died.
After dropping out of a too-expensive college after only six months, Jobs began sitting in on classes that interested him, with no idea of what he would make of them and only a gut feeling driving him. This adventuring spirit is what led him to develop Apple, with his friend in a basement, over the course of the next ten years. At age thirty, Jobs and Apple had already launched the Mac, and revolutionized the world of computing forever. Apple grew quickly, and Steve Jobs was eventually fired from his own company when the board of directors sided with his business partner over some creative differences. True to form, Jobs bounced back from this adversity and went on to develop and improve on technology
in ways that have bettered lives all over the world. These days, Apple is synonymous with cutting-edge technology and outside the box solutions, and all because Steve Jobs was synonymous with pushing the boundaries and bringing his creative visions to fruition.
There is perhaps no better way to sum up the work of Steve Jobs than to use his own words: "I want to put a ding in the universe." Steve Jobs, you did exactly what you set out to do, and you did it amazingly. For all you gave us in the field of technology, and for so, so much more, we thank you. The world needs more like you, and you will be sorely missed.
About the Author: Lossa is a fan of technology, Apple products, and Steve Jobs. She will think of him and other visionaries every single time she uses her tablet pc, iPhone, and future technological devices.

Don't worry about the kids so much - they don't need it
Do you worry about your children enough? Or too much?
It's a big dangerous world out there. Full of nasty people. And dangerous machines. Anything can happen. And your children are young. Ignorant. Inexperienced. Vulnerable. Defenceless. How can you not fret about them all the time? You've brought them into the world. You are responsible for them. You've got to keep them safe. If you don't concern yourself about your children, who will?
Over-worried parents become over-protective parents
Many a loving caring parent is haunted by thoughts like this. How can I keep my children safe from all the perils of the planet? You want them to grow up strong and capable individuals, able to look after themselves, but the thought of them getting into genuinely risky situations so they can learn to do that can make you break out in a cold sweat. You can easily find yourself becoming over-protective and turning into a molly-coddler.
The heavy personal costs of too much anxiety about the kids
But it's not just about being over-protective and inadvertently making it actually harder for your children to develop as independent individuals. Constantly agonizing about the safety and well-being of your children is a heavy drain on your own emotional and psychological resources. It raises your own stress levels. And people (including parents) who are stressed make significantly poorer decisions than people who are calm.
This means that the seemingly loving act of worrying about your children can actually be destructive on two fronts. It can limit the development of the children and it can have a negative impact on the quality of the parenting you are able to provide.
Don't let anxiety about your children wreck your parenting
So it's clearly very valuable to be able to take control over one's parental anxiety levels and manage them so that you can be concerned for your children in a healthy, constructive way. It's not about being an irresponsible parent who doesn't care. It's about knowing when to fret and when not to, and being able to do either, as appropriate.
How hypnosis can transform your anxious fears into realism
Worry less about your children is an audio hypnosis session for parents or guardians. Using the latest psychological understandings and the transformative power of hypnosis, this session will get you relaxing in ways you would never have thought possible. You will physically experience the effects of reducing worry in your body and in your brain.
Regular listening to this powerful session will allow you to develop a wonderfully calm, clear and objective attitude to the risks and opportunities of life - for yourself as well as for your children. You will discover how being less concerned about them actually makes you better able to recognize the risks that your children will meet, and how to deal with them effectively.

A duranja was a large ornate Bajoran prayer oil lamp.
It was also called a "lamp for the dead" and was used, as the name implies, to pray for the deceased.
In the year 2371 Kira Nerys kept a duranja in her quarters to pray for Vedek Bareil Antos, who had died earlier that year. (DS9: "Shakaar")
Major Kira spoke the following prayer while kneeling in front of the duranja:
- "raka-ja ut shala morala... ema bo roo kana... uranak... ralanon Bareil... propeh va nara ehsuk shala-kan vunek ..."
This translates into
- "do not let him walk alone... guide him on his journey... protect... the one named Bareil... take him into the gates of heaven..."

AD Edit
As "AD" has been established in the first sentence, the inclusion of "AD" after every year is unnecessarily repetitious and could be viewed as "in your face" affront to non-Christians or those preferring the neutral "CE". --StarFire209 15:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Again... see Talk:17th century and Talk:Distant past and stop leaving the same text and comments everywhere. One place is sufficient. -- Sulfur 16:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- A group of anthropologists called the Preservers visit Earth. They transplant a group of American Indians, including people from the Delaware, Navajo, and Mohican tribes, to a class M planet where they are able to live undisturbed. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
- Admitedly I don't know enough about American history to identify any higly period-specific markers that might be present in the Amerind clothing or something similar; but save for those I'm pretty sure there's no hard evidence to place this event in the 18th century rather then the 17th or 19th. Again, unless someone with more knowledge of the era can correct me. -- Capricorn 19:31, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
the long house in the photo is more like mohican becasue thos were the tribes that were next to the mohawk and the rest of the iroqouis league delaware tribe could have had long houses as well but as for the navajo they would not commonly build long houses becasue of the lack of timber in the deserts of the south west. the navajo were the decendents of the pueblos and the pueblos were also decended from the anasazi that had lived there thousands of years back but the south west tribes had been mostly asociated with the cliff mountain houses of mud brick rather then long house. but they could have used the tee pee type tents when on the move. i hope this helps answer your question about the photo graph 126.96.36.199 14:32, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
important cities Edit
would adding the foundation of important places be ok to do if there mentioned in the show? because
- detroit ,michigan was founded in 1701
- Pittsburgh ,Pennslvania was founded in 1758
- cleveland ,ohio was founded in 1796? and if theres a couple others i can look them up as well. 18.104.22.168 14:08, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

The challenge facing the world is enormous. So Mr Gates and oth- ers are fervently hoping daily that Asia's vaccine makers will further bring down the costs using more innovative techniques. That is the pressure now on companies like Serum Institute, Bharat Biotech, Biological E, and China National Biotec-to perform consistently and save the world from a major health catastrophe. The hepatitis B episode in China should just be an unwelcome footnote in the his- tory of Asia's vaccine companies at least in the New Year.

As examples, Microsoft points to three health and human service (HHS) organizations that recently chose Microsoft Dynamics CRM to help improve the services they provide within their tight budget constraints. Marie Huwe, a general manager for Microsoft Dynamics, wrote about their experiences and shared thoughts about the benefits Dynamics CRM is providing.
The three organizations include Our Kids of Miami-Dade/Monroe in Florida, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, and the Mississippi Department of Mental Health.
Huwe writes that all three decided to use Dynamics CRM because it offers the flexibility, integration options, security features, and ease of use needed for their particular implementations. Let's take a look at each solution.
Our Kids of Miami-Dade/Monroe
This organization is a government contractor that provides adoption and foster care services to at-risk children in Florida's Miami Dade and Monroe counties. Our Kids needed a central system to help its 100-person staff manage cases. It also needed to consolidate three legacy systems into one, and then integrate them with its existing Microsoft technology.
Dynamics CRM now gives the staff at Our Kids an instant view of pertaining to specific child cases, tapping into resources from schools, medical agencies, and juvenile justice bureaus.
"With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, processing time has been cut in half, helping us tackle urgent cases as they come in," said Dave Harland, director of Applications Development for Our Kids.
Looking ahead, the team at Our Kids also intends to use Dynamics' advanced data analytics to mine its database in order to predict and more quickly identify potential abuse cases -- preventing harm before it happens.
Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities
When first considering Dynamics CRM, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities was in the familiar position of running a large case management system -- this one with roughly 100,000 clients -- while facing typically tight governmental budget constraints.
The department ultimately built a system dubbed "Imagine" around Dynamics CRM and that system now enables 3,000 users spread across 18 counties to collaborate. It offers an approachable way for clients to manage their information, and, it helps the organization's staff to better serve clients and to work more efficiently with Medicaid and other outside agencies.
"We have waiting lists of people waiting to be served. Individuals wait for approval for Medicaid waiver dollars, even if all that person needs is five hours of respite or a ride every Friday," said Kathy Casagrande, assistant chief information officer for the department. "Now, with the Imagine system built using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, we can see those pressing needs and solve them quickly and locally without having to send an individual through a system to get Medicaid approval."
Mississippi Department of Mental Health
A different set of challenges faced the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. Among other requirements, it was looking for a mobile app to help people in residential care communities communicate more easily. In the end, the agency went with a combination of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and the CoCentrix Caretiles suite of apps.
For its part, Dynamics CRM gave the department's staff access to resident information from the 12 state programs it operates. Staff can now easily access the information they need to better understand the needs of their clients, as well as offer learning opportunities via games and interactive quizzes.
"By leveraging Microsoft Dynamics CRM as the platform on which we operate Caretiles, we feel we are at the forefront of healthcare engagement -- linking patients, providers and families," said James Dunaway, chief information officer for the department.
Aiming at the Public Sector
We spoke with R. "Ray" Wang, principal analyst and founder of Constellation Research about the ways health and human service organizations are using CRM systems.
Wang noted that healthcare organizations have to interact effectively with multiple constituents, including providers, patients, and payers such as insurance agencies and government aid providers. The new wave of healthcare clients for Microsoft, he said, "indicates that they have partners that are helping build Dynamics out into more areas." These partnerships can be key for serving the varied needs of this complex market.
"Microsoft is definitely looking at the public sector with Dynamics," Wang said. "They want to get it into education and similar sectors," as well. "But those are tough markets -- it takes time and money to open up those accounts."
The Redmond, Washington technology giant seems ready for the growth, as demonstrated also by its recent CRM expansion into new territories. Just last week, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online is now available in more than a dozen countries outside North America.
The public sector is plagued with long wait times, bad service, and poorly coordinated staff. Having CRM will definitely make a difference here.

Thrifty Android and Facebook users will be happy to know that Facebook released an update to its Android app today that adds Facebook's "Deals" section. This feature is an addition to the "Places" tab that was released a few months ago.
The Deals feature makes it easy to find deals that are new to you in your surrounding area.
It has a Fourquare-like element to it with a "check-in" feature that gives you deals and freebies at certain establishments. Facebook Deals was introduced in November on iOS, but this is the first time it's available for Android devices.
According to PCMag, "it allows mobile users to find discounts at nearby stores in four categories: individual, loyalty, friend, and charity. It launched with 22 partners, and will be opened to 20,000 small businesses."'
Other updates in version 1.5.1 include Facebook chat, and push notifications that require Android 2.2 and above. The update is available now in the Android Market. Let us know what you think of the improvements (or, potentially, new bugs) in the comment section below.

A few months back we were asked how many times we, county employees, used the signal to cross the street in a day.
A better question may have been, how many times does the average person seeking to comply with all the laws with drivers licenses, motor vehicle licensing, court sentences, etc. cross that intersection?
I tell you there are a large number of people with business at the Sheriffs Office, the DMV, Probation and the courthouse that use the cross walk every single day of the week.
Another big concern is the attitude that states we are going to be looking at or monitoring the intersection to see if there is an increase in traffic accidents, and base our decision on this.
Why should someone, driver or pedestrian, have to be at risk of injury to deem this light valuable?
A very good reason to leave the light in working order is the protruding Evans building. Westbound traffic on Third St. find it necessary to creep out in order to see oncoming northbound traffic, posing a risk of an accident.
Again I do not understand why someone should be injured or possibly lose their life in order to deem a light necessary. It moves large amounts of pedestrian traffic to and from the Sheriffs office, the DMV, Probation and the courthouse.
You cannot tell me that there are no other options.
Now that it is blinking, we better not blink.

Bank closure hurts businesses
NICOSIA, Cyprus Cypriot businesses were under increasing strain to keep running on Tuesday after financial authorities stretched the country's bank closure into a second week in a harried attempt to stop depositors from rushing to drain their accounts.
Cyprus's Central Bank governor, Panicos Demetriades, said "superhuman efforts are being made" to open banks on Thursday.
"Temporary" restrictions will be imposed on financial transactions once the banks do open, he said, but he would not specify what they would be or how long they would be in place.
"We have to restore the public's trust in banks," he said.
Finance Minister Michalis Sarris told The Associated Press that the restrictions would help stem any mass deposit withdrawal that is "bound to happen" and that they would be removed in a "relatively short period of time."
"I think every day (banks) are not open creates more uncertainty and more difficulties for people, so we would like to do our utmost to make sure that this new goal that we have set will work," he said.
All but two of the country's largest lenders had been due to reopen Tuesday, after being shut since March 16 to stop savers from withdrawing all their money while politicians figured out how to raise the funds necessary for Cyprus to qualify for an international bailout.
However, late Monday, authorities announced that the bank closures would be extended until Thursday, giving officials more time to initiate a major overhaul of the banking sector and devise capital controls to limit the amount of money that can be taken out of accounts.
"We have to all understand that we live in very critical times. Officials of the government and the Central Bank are working day and night," Demetriades said.
Under the deal for a $12.9 billion rescue clinched in Brussels early Monday, Cyprus agreed to slash its oversized banking sector and inflict hefty losses on large depositors in troubled banks. Sarris said authorities hope to limit job losses to a "small number."
"We are looking to a much smaller banking system over time and more concentrated on its core business, which is Cyprus and the international business units in Cyprus," he said.
The bank will be broken up immediately into a so-called bad bank containing its uninsured deposits and toxic assets. The "good" assets will be transferred to the nation's biggest lender, Bank of Cyprus.
Also Tuesday, the chairman of the board of Bank of Cyprus, Andreas Artemis, and four other board members tendered their resignations, a statement from the bank said.
The board did not accept the resignations, which will become valid only if not withdrawn in a week's time.

Health experts have always insisted that we need to eat vegetables if we want to have a real healthy diet, and there are five key veggies that top the list as the healthiest:
*Spinach -- Popeye was right. Spinach is an excellent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A, manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2, calcium, potassium and Vitamin B6. It's also a good source of fiber, copper, protein, phosphorous, zinc, Vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, niacin and anti-oxidants.
*Lettuce (green leaf, red leaf, romaine) -- Lettuce is a low calorie fiber food that is also a great place to find Vitamin A, folic acid, lactucarium (which helps enhance calmness and pain relief), as well as the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. Lettuce also contains a good amount of anti-cancer properties.
*Broccoli -- Besides having great flavor and texture, Broccoli contains copious amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, beta carotene and Vitamin K. The minerals in broccoli include calcium, potassium, iron and folate. A great source of fiber, broccoli also provides lots of bioflavonoids, which is an antioxidant that helps protect against cancer and heart disease.
*Brussels Sprouts -- A staple in the diets of Asian cultures, who are among the longest lived people in the world, the crunchy garnish contains lots of potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta carotene and Vitamin K. This is another great anti-cancer vegetable.
*Cabbage -- Although best known as the partner of corned beef on St. Patrick's Day, cabbage is a great low calorie food that contains a good amount of fiber, calcium and Vitamin C. Cabbage is incredibly packed with substantial anti-cancer agents.
When picking vegetables, the fresh and frozen vegetables are better than canned vegetables, because they have less added salt. If you have to buy canned vegetables, it is recommended draining the water they are packed in before preparing them to remove a good amount of the added sodium, or simply buy those veggies labeled as having low sodium.
Broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts also contain glucosinolates, which are known for their chemoprotective agents against chemically-induced carcinogens by blocking the initiation of tumors.
For a healthier you, it's just plain good sense to learn to love and eat your vegetables on a daily basis.

Inputs are another area where little has changed from the Q310, except for placement. Unfortunately, Samsung still doesn't offer e-SATA, which is becoming ever more prevalent and essential if you want to swap large files between external drives. Digital audio connectivity in the form of S/PDIF out is another regrettable absentee, though the sorts of price driven users that might opt for the R560 are unlikely to miss such a feature.
Besides these absentees, the rest of the selection is decent. On the left is a single USB port, VGA and HDMI for video connectivity, 3.5mm headphone and microphone sockets and a 54mm ExpressCard slot. On the the front there's only the memory card reader, while the right is quite sparse, housing a LightScribe capable DVD-writer and Kensington lock slot.
On the notebook's back there are a further two USB sockets, the power socket, a Gigabit LAN port and the good old 56K modem. Wireless connectivity, meanwhile, is well taken care of by 802.11 Draft-N Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR.
Getting to usability, the touchpad is rather good. It's large enough, pleasantly textured and responsive, while the solid left and right buttons are also large and feature good feedback with a positive click. Likewise, the keyboard is pretty solid. It has large, well-shaped keys and an excellent layout, including Samsung's signature secondary function key to the right that allows one-handed adjustments of brightness and volume. If anything the key travel is little shallow, but keys do have a firm and crisp feel to them and for a notebook at this price, it's a pretty decent effort.
After using the Medion Akoya S5610 one might bemoan the lack of number pad as well, but the Medion is more or less exclusive in having this feature so it wouldn't be fair to penalise Samsung.

That reminds me, what's up with Steorn Orbo?
The best part is that they had the results even before they performed the experiment.
Someone please call Intrade and make this happen…
Assuming the results are accurate, wouldn't it now be possible to send near instantaneous messages across the solar system, or even deep space?
Even if you could, who's going to respond?
Ourselves. Think about it; whats the point in building an engine that could take you to the farthest reaches of the universe if you cannot send a message the across the same distance.
This discovery could (and probably will) lead to faster than light communications, and if the communications can go faster than light, how far behind is FTL travel?
And what was the point to sending sailing ships on long voyages if the sponsors could not communicate with them?
Near real-time communication over long distances are less than 200 years old.
The point to sending sailing ships on long voyages was that a long voyage was less than a year. Sure you couldn't talk to the guys in real-time but you'd still be around when word eventually got back to you.
Same can't be said of long-range space travel. If we send a crew off to seek new worlds and all that, we'll probably never see them again.
Exactly. Even sending a ship to Alpha Centari with a theoretical nuclear pulse propulsion, it would take a life time to get there (85 years), and another life time to get back. By the time you got there, the entire trip point of the trip would be trumped by new technology allowing you to do the same thing in a third of the time.
@LightningRose:disqus : our ancestors didn't circle the globe in a canoe, they explored further and further with what they had until they built ships capable of the task.
I guess if you take the long view then yes, that's reasonable. I was thinking of near-term applications, since I have this sinking feeling that if we launched a ship with FTL communications today it would get passed by a ship with FTL travel tomorrow. Then those poor souls need to schlep all the way back…
But while we're talking about FTL travel, there's no guarantee it's possible. Maybe neutrinos are as good as it gets. Still, doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Assuming the results are accurate, wouldn't it now be possible to send near instantaneous messages across the solar system, or even deep space?
That's not how ansibles work.
Kinda like the Ansible from the Ender Series?
Ansibles are a pretty generic concept. They wouldn't work on the idea of getting information from point A to point B through normal space-time. Imagine a dimension consisting of a singularity which is contiguous to every point in our space-time. That would mean that every point in our space-time is separated from every other point by a singularity. Of course, there might be a few tiny technical details to work out.
I dunno about that, but if we can harness quantum entanglement you could rig up a network that would allow instantaneous communication across any distance.
People, get it together here. Let's focus on what is important for a change! Light speed is TOO slow (Light speed is too slow?). Neutrinos have to go right to LUDICROUS SPEED.
It is funny that scientists pretend they knew all new discoveries all along, yet resist it like the plague. I think people are just lazy and don't want the paradigm to change too much.
Yes, surely it is because they are lazy. Not because the rules they know have worked for a really long time and they want to be absolutely sure of things before they re-write all the books.

Make your own mind up.

R&B singer R. Kelly and his wife of 11 years, Andrea Lee Kelly, are officially divorced, according to a statement from their lawyers Thursday.
Kelly, 42, and Andrea, 35, will have joint custody of their three children. No other details were revealed.
The announcement follows Kelly's acquittal of child pornography charges in June.
The couple weathered martial ups and downs during the six-year-long case. In 2005, Andrea, filed an emergency protective order to keep the singer away from her amid claims of physical abuse which she rescinded weeks later. The couple then filed for divorce in 2006, but were still trying to make things work.
After years of silence, Andrea told Essence magazine in 2007, "Some people in my position would probably be very broken right now, and they would probably be saying, 'Woe is me.' But I'm just not that person."
The couple married in 1996, two years after the then-20-year-old Andrea had auditioned as a backup dancer for the singer/songwriter/record producer. She would go on to handle most of the choreography for his tours, videos and live performances.
Kelly, known for hit singles like "Bump N' Grind" and "I Believe I Can Fly," has sold more than 8 million albums and has had four number one albums.

Darlings, we have no doubt you all have much to say about the finale of RPDR last night and since it'll be a little while before we put the post together, we figured we'd slap up some pics from last night's season finale party at Providence in New York City. We're such assholes, because we were invited to this party but couldn't go because of Tom's sinus infection. Lorenzo is pouting and Tom is cursing his shitty nose because we could have partied with Kelly Osbourne last night mere hours after ripping her latest red carpet appearance.
We will utter not a word about last night's show in this post. We're saving it up for the recap. In the meantime, enjoy this bevy of queens queening it up. No fashion commentary from us except to say that cute Absolut Vodka guy is too old for those shoes.

At the 2010 AAAS meeting, PNNL's Mike Davis will explain how the U.S. and China can play a significant role in leading the world toward a cleaner future.
SAN DIEGO – Combating climate change and terrorism are paramount to global stability. The future of our energy supply, security and national safety are largely determined by what we do now to use transformational science and knowledge in new ways. Energy and counterterrorism experts from PNNL will discuss new approaches to tackling the dynamics of the energy and security challenges during two separate sessions at the annual meeting of AAAS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Combating Global Emissions: The Urgent Need for a New Strategy in the Asia- Pacific Rim Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010; 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.; Room 4 (San Diego Convention Center) The U.S. and China will play a significant role in leading the world toward a cleaner future. PNNL's Mike Davis, associate laboratory director for Energy and Environment and an expert in U.S.-China relations, will join a group of panelists from China, Canada and India to discuss current and future dynamics of emissions capture in the Asia-Pacific Rim. In his talk Rethinking the Emissions Challenge for Transforming Our Energy System, Davis will propose a new approach to capturing emissions - one that can be done at cost comparable to current systems that don't capture carbon dioxide. Organizer and moderator: Ellyn M. Murphy, PNNL; co-organizer: Yong Wang, PNNL. Other speakers include: XiaoChun Li, Institute for Rock and Soil Mechanics; Status and Potential of Carbon Capture and Storage in China
Malti Goel, Ministry of Science and Technology; A Framework for Carbon Dioxide Reduction for India's Energy Security
Dadi Zhou, Energy Research Institute; Emissions from a Systems Analysis and Energy Policy Perspective
Stefan Bachu, Alberta Research Council; Science and Technology Gaps for Large-Scale Implementation of Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage Real Numbers: Mathematical Technologies for Counterterrorism and Border Security Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010; 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.; Room 11B (San Diego Convention Center) Since 2001, tremendous amounts of information have been gathered regarding terrorist cells and individuals potentially planning future attacks. There is a pressing need to develop new techniques to quantify these threats and the effectiveness of counterterrorism operations and strategies. Cliff Joslyn, scientist with PNNL's National Security Directorate, will review recent advances in applied lattice and order theory that are allowing the development of tools and technologies for intelligence agency analysts to better manage their sometimes overwhelming burdens. Organizer and moderator: Jonathan D. Farley, Johannes Kepler University Linz; co-organizers: Tony Harkin, Rochester Institute of Technology and Anice Anderson, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The MDF panel (medium density fibreboard) is a medium hard fibre-type board with a high-density surface. It is produced with coniferous woods that have been decorticated (bark removed) and that is why it has a relatively light colour. Interesting fact: to produce a 16 mm thick panel, pressed-fibre mats that when stacked are close to one metre thick must be pressed together.
The flexural strength of MDF board is almost twice as great as that of basic wooden particle board. This makes MDF a much more reasonably priced and easier to use material for making furniture and for interior finish work. The only downside is its relatively high weight; one square metre of 16 mm MDF with a base film weighs about 11.64 kg, the 19 mm version about 13.82 kg. Its uniform and smooth surface has a nice appearance whether raw or clear varnished, an attribute that makes it very interesting as a architectural modelling construction material.
Working with MDF is done using the usual tools and machines that are used for all solid woods. One particular attribute of this material that should be mentioned is how it takes to being milled. It is recommended that all machining work should be done using carbide tipped tools because the high density of the panels contributes to an increased wear and tear. The panels can be varnished directly without any problem.
MDF, brown, uncoated custom cutting
- 2070 mm x 2800 mm
Custom sizes of MDF and HDF boards are not available by delivery. Both materials have very high raw densities so that packages quickly become extremely heavy as well as large. This weight and size and the danger of damage during delivery meant that the handling process was extremely complex and it was also necessary to ship per forwarding agency. The resultant cost became too high to be attractive for our customers. However, both materials, including in custom sizes, are still available at our store in Berlin.

Countless Christians, including scores of saints, have suffered the profound, pervasive sorrow that modern psychiatrists call depression. Then, as now, great faith and even fervent spiritual practices have generally failed to ease this wearying desolation of the soul.
Catholic psychiatrist Aaron Kheriaty reviews the effective ways that have recently been devised to deal with this grave and sometimes deadly affliction - ways that are not only consistent with the teachings of the Church but even rooted in many of those teachings.
Extensive clinical experience in treating patients with depression has shown Dr. Kheriaty that the confessional can't cure neuroses, nor can the couch forgive sin. Healing comes only when we integrate the legitimate discoveries of modern psychology and pharmacology with spiritual direction and the sacraments, giving particular attention to the wisdom of the Church fathers and the saints.
Here, with the expert help of Dr. Kheriaty, you'll learn how to distinguish depression from similar-looking but fundamentally different mental states, such as guilt, sloth, the darkness of sin, and the sublime desolation called the "dark night of the soul" that is, in fact, a privileged spiritual trial sent to good souls as a special gift from God.
You'll come to know how to identify the various types of depression and come to understand the interplay of their often manifold causes - biological, psychological, behavioral, cultural, and, yes, moral.
Then you'll learn about exciting breakthroughs in pharmacological and other medical treatments, the benefits and limitations of psychotherapy, the critical place that spiritual direction must have in your healing, and the vital role that Christian hope can play in driving out depression.

"Extraordinarily helpful!"
I was skeptical when I bought this audiobook on depression. But I was so suprised by the depth of the knowledge in both psychiatry and traditional Catholicism when I started the book. I am a catholic physician who has some experience with the topic of depression, after hearing this book, my understanding of both the disease and treatment through the great spiritual directors of the past has increased tremendously! I highly recommend it to all catholics who wants to understand depression better.
"Balanced and Honest"
Dr Kheriarty grounds the reader upfront about the somatic, social, and serious psychological cause and effects of depression. Never does he allude to a "just pray" mode of healing, and yet, with a courage so seldom seen in his discipline of medicine, he embraces, guides, and exhorts the critically placed fulcrum of spiritual maturity and efficacy. This book opens up possibilities, especially for those who serve the wounded. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can take on a new depth of intervention by integration of spirituality. Dr Kheriarty praises Dr Beck et al alongside St Augustine and St Therese de Liseaux. This volume expands the heart and mind of all who read it.
"great book."
the book combines good science with solid Christian teaching on depression and the virtue of hope
"Extremely helpful..."
It helps to put everything in perspective mentally, emotionally and spiritually... Thank you Dr. Aaron Kheriaty for such an amazing book!

That last scene was tense. I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was going be bitten/killed next. I saw Glenn by himself and I literally screamed at the screen, get with the group dammit! I don't want my favorite character dying.
All around a great episode, probably my favorite of the show so far. I especially liked the surprise of the whole "gang" segment. It was good to know that there were some other good minded people out there, apart from many of the dicks that seemed to have survived the apocalypse. I had a small smile during the end of the episode seeing the wife beater get attacked. A bit cold-hearted of me perhaps, but he deserved it in my eyes.

I agree that Daryl is growing on me as a character. Would hate to see him end up choosing his brother over the entire group. He's got potential to help keep their group alive. Oh and thanks to the scene of the sisters fishing, I so saw the younger one dying. I have this gut feeling that Rick's wife is going to end up getting bit in the future. |

Curveball?! More like a knuckleball!! I was so certain that Rick was going too turn Gs head into a canoe with that shotgun, that I was literally falling of the edge of the sofa!! In all it was an excellent episode, it showed that even in an apocalypse that human compassion still works!

Merle was quite unhinged and seemed under the effect of stups at the time. In contrast Daryl has shown to have a lot of street smarts (funny expression for a country hick!) and kept level-headed past the initial bursts of anger despite coming from the same background.
Anyway, episode 4 was great. Wasn't expecting the walkers' attack this soon. Another great blend of suspense, plot twist and zombie-blowing action. I know what you meant. it's that incriminating stare of hers ^^ I'd be quite irritated if someone looked at me like that. |

Another solid episode...though I've noticed that the odd number episodes (beside episode 1) tend to drag more since they act as transitional chapters. Still damn good episode, and if nothing else it gives us some idea of a timeline (Rick's coma lasted anywhere from a month and a half to two plus months).

The series as a whole is pretty solid, except like what james mentioned about some episodes being pretty slow developmentally.
Can't wait to see what goes down in the next ep.

Ep.5 was just gold! For me it sort of set the pace for the upcoming season and next episode. I just wander what will happen if the truth about Ricks wife and his buddy the deputy ever comes out. I mean the deputy had the drop on him and almost pulled the trigger!
Also anybody wanna bet that the CDC guy turns into a Doctor Frankenstein? I can't wait for next weeks episode! James, during the hiatus are we allowed to speculate about how are what may happen next season?

First of all, the 5th episode did amazing in the ratings, with the highest ratings in the series thus far (with 2.8 million 18-49, and 5.6 million total). Presumably the Entertainment Weekly Cover/Center Story is what pushed the series to new heights. Here's hoping next week's episode will do even better (giving the studio more incentive to spend on the next season ).
But, I urge the graphic novel readers to not spoil the fun for the television viewers. It's more than fine to compare and contrast the Atlanta Arc from the comics to the screen, but do not go beyond the Atlanta Arc without using appropriately labeled Spoilers Tags (In fact, try not to spoil the series at all).

text: We could be watching The CW's answer to The Hunger Games this fallCharlie Jane Anders1/23/13 3:20pmFiled to: selectionHunger gamesTelevisionThe CwDollhouseSarah FainElizabeth CraftAimee teagarden59EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink On paper, The CW's show The Selection sounds like a slam dunk: a TV version of Hunger Games, set 300 years in the future, where the reward for winning is to marry a handsome prince. But when The CW actually filmed a pilot last year, the results were apparently not satisfactory — perhaps not surprising, given some major flaws with the book source material. But now, The CW has retooled The Selection and feels good enough about it to film a brand new pilot. No word if Aimee Teagarden is still playing America Singer (yes, that's really her name) but apparently showrunners Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (Dollhouse) are still on board. And here's the retooled synopsis for the TV version: Advertisement Advertisement Set 300 years in the future, an epic romance centering on a working class young woman chosen by lottery to participate in a competition with 25 other women for the Royal Prince's hand to become the nation's next queen. Balancing her loyalty to family, true love, and kingdom, she must attempt to remain true to herself as she navigates the cutthroat competition and palace intrigue, all while a budding rebellion threatens to topple the crown.So now there are 26 contestants, instead of 35, for the crown. And hopefully they've tightened it in other ways as well. [EW]Reply59 repliesLeave a reply

Before the Nets took on the Hawks last night in Brooklyn, interim coach P.J. Carlesimo called talk of his team potentially being tied with the cross-town rival Knicks for the Atlantic Division lead with a win "meaningless."
The Nets sure played like they agreed with him.
They made sloppy plays throughout the game and went cold at exactly the wrong time, allowing the Hawks (37-29) to open the fourth quarter with a 23-10 run to blow open the game and go on to claim a 105-93 victory over the Nets (38-28) inside Barclays Center.
"We're not tied for the division lead," Carlesimo said before the game. "I don't know how you guys come up with this nonsense. They had two less losses than we do [going into yesterday's action], so we're not with them when they have one less loss.
"I don't care what the numbers say ... you can't be tied with somebody when they have one more loss than you do.
"It's meaningless."
It may have been meaningless to Carlesimo, but it certainly wasn't meaningless to Nets CEO Brett Yormark, who tweeted a few minutes after Carlesimo's comments, "Excited about tonight's Nets game. Chance to be tied for division lead."

It's getting ridiculous. We used to let Mingus up on the bed occasionally, especially for a morning snuggle. But he's got us dialed in now and he sneaks up on the bed sometime during the middle of the night. He creeps in to our room, pads quietly to Ben's side of the bed (I am so sure it's Ben's side, not mine) and then he jumps up and nestles down between us. I usually don't notice he's there until the morning.
But check this out:
This is what my bed looked like after I crawled out of it this morning. It's getting ridiculous - my dog is getting more bed space than I am. And my sleeping is suffering because of it. But how do you deter a pet who makes his move while you are asleep?!
At any rate, Mingus will have half the bed to spread out on for the next few days. I'm off to a grrls weekend in Vancouver to celebrate the bike-wife's birthday. See you next week!

Have a fun grrls weekend! Sometimes one of our dogs will curl up on the bed during the day and there is literally no room left.

Oh, I can so relate to this. Lucy is probably 1/2 (1/4?) Mingus' size and still manages to take up a ton of space. She's also too small/old to hop into bed on her own, so instead she walks around the bed (her nails clicking on the floor) in the early morning hours. That is her ticket into bed, since Andy will get up and put her there, just to get a little more sleep. Then she likes to climb up by our heads, turning around, putting her butt in our faces. (This is all, by the way, so Andy will get up and give her kibble.)

OTTAWA – It's high time Canada started looking beyond the Obama era if it wants to push economic integration with the United States to a new level, says former Conservative cabinet minister Jim Prentice.
That includes pushing for approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which has been stalled by the logjam of U.S. domestic politics — something that's unlikely to change in the next three years, Prentice said Wednesday.
New gas discoveries in both countries have transformed North America's economic landscape, said Prentice, who urged the federal government to set its sights on 2017 when Barack Obama's successor arrives in the White House.
Once that time comes, Canada will have an 18-month window to capture the new American president's attention on bilateral issues.
"We must set our priorities, tailor our agenda and make our preparations with that small window of opportunity in mind. The next one will arrive in 2017," Prentice, now a senior bank executive, said in a speech to the Economic Club of Canada.
The former environment and industry minister left politics more than three years ago, but has at times since then been touted as a possible successor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Prentice appeared to take some amusement in that speculation by breaking from his prepared speech and telling his audience of business people and politicians that he had come to Ottawa to make a special announcement.
Many attendees leaned forward, only to learn from a smiling Prentice that his newest grandchild had been born earlier that morning.
Harper and Obama meet face to face next week in Mexico, at a one-day summit of North America's three leaders.
In a pre-speech interview, Prentice suggested there was little hope of Harper making any progress on Keystone when they meet next week.
"The prime minister has many years of experience now with the president. I think he spoke his mind very clearly on Keystone. I'm sure they'll have an interesting discussion but …" Prentice said, before pivoting to restating his long-held support of the pipeline project.
In his speech, Prentice said Keystone was the latest in a list of irritants in the Canada-U.S. relationship that has in the past included the softwood lumber dispute and the "thickening" of the border since 9-11, which is still slowing trade.
"At the same time, our comfortable and familiar relationship in the realm of energy has been radically transformed by North America's supply revolution."
Canada needs to be ready to negotiate an accord with the Americans on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions from Alberta's oilsands when the next window of opportunity opens in 2017, he added.
More attention needs to be paid to climate change, Prentice said, because the issue is inextricably linked to growth in the energy sector.
"Focusing on environment policy is not exclusively a question of morality. Increasingly, for us, it is an economic imperative," he said. "Around the world, the wave of concern over climate change crested a few years ago … but those who are paying attention can see that the next wave is building again.
"It will come, and Canada had better be ready for it the next time. If you are in the energy business today, you are in the environment business."
In the intervening three years, Prentice said Canada needs to push forward on pipeline construction, particularly to the British Columbia coast, so it can export the oil and gas in Western Canada to markets in Asia.
With the U.S. expected to be energy self-sufficient by the end of the decade, Prentice said Canada basically has no choice; it has to evolve beyond being reliant on a single customer for its energy products.
"The supply-demand balance for energy on this continent has already shifted such that overseas access is nothing short of an urgent priority for the Canadian economy," he said.
"Without it, we are heading towards a marketplace reality in which there will be no market on the continent for increased production from the Canadian oilsands post-2020."
The creation of a viable liquefied natural gas plant on the B.C. coast is also vital, he said.
"This is a viciously competitive global business. It is an industry where the Americans have emerged as our primary competitor."
Prentice also called for greater engagement by the government with aboriginal groups to remove impediments to pipeline construction.
He called it a "marvellous step forward" that Harper was able to announce a new plan for native education last week with Assembly of First Nations national Chief Shawn Atleo.

It's another This Year release! This time it's for the last year of GFW Radio. GFW Radio was as brilliant as ever in its final days. The show persisted despite major upheaval at the 1UP offices, including the cancellation of the Games for Windows Magazine, the publication with which GFW Radio was ostensibly linked. But rather than dither at the changes about them, the cast continued to provide the critical (and droll) commentary the show was known for. Whether engineering This American Life-style segments, discussing socially questionable behavior in Second Life, or reflecting on the institutional pressures that brought down the magazine, that GFW Radio remains perhaps the greatest gaming podcast ever created, now four years after its end, is a testament to the individuals that manned those microphones.
While the final few weeks of GFW Radio were overshadowed by the departure of key personnel and the eventual cessation of the podcast, the rest of the year the show operated as its familiar self. As Jeff Green pondered the breast physics in SoulCalibur IV, Robert Ashley waxed eloquent about the milk produced by female Yodas. Anthony Gallegos reported from a Magic: The Gathering 'gathering,' and Shawn Elliott recounted still more distressing tales from his childhood. Shawn and Robert visited various protests and the cast as a whole discussed the issue of piracy and wondered about the state of the industry. And then, it was time to go... but not before Jeff read from what must be the most alarming Hero of the Web—people on the internet discussing how they find diapers sexually gratifying. This was GFW Radio.
Download the first part of the show here. Download the second part of the show here. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook, and subscribe to the RSS feed or through iTunes. Thanks for the support! We appreciate it.
If you missed the GFW Radio best-ofs for the 2006 and 2007 years, you should check those out too.
By the way, if somebody can post this on NeoGAF I'd be grateful!

Submission + - Law Allowing Indefinite Military Detention of Citizens Ruled Unconstitutional (villagevoice.com)
Judge Katherine Forrest, a recent Obama appointee to the federal bench,
Submission Summary: 0 pending, 4 declined, 2 accepted (6 total, 33.33% accepted)
When the uprising there began nearly two weeks ago, there was a near-total internet blackout. But exactly how was access cut off? An American advocacy group called Free Press says it's uncovered a link to a California-based technology company which allegedly sold the Egyptian government equipment allowing it to track online activity. Rob Reynolds reports.
When Endeavour astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper dropped her toolbag during a spacewalk on Nov. 18th and it floated away, mission controllers probably figured they'd seen the last of it. Think again. Last night, Nov. 22nd, veteran satellite observer Kevin Fetter video-recorded the backpack-sized bag gliding over his backyard observatory in Brockville, Ontario. "It was easily 8th magnitude or brighter as it passed by the 4th magnitude star eta Pisces," he says. Spaceweather's satellite tracker is monitoring the toolbag.
