Begone, porch pirates!
The Prime members-only service, called Amazon Key, uses a smart lock and connected camera. When a delivery is made the courier scans the package's barcode which sends an access request to Amazon's cloud. When it grants permission, the camera starts recording, the courier swipes a prompt on their app and then your door unlocks. They leave the package by the door and relock it on their way out. You'll get a notification that the delivery has been made, along with a video of the drop-off to reassure you everything was done above board.

I don't do New Years resolutions but since I'm starting to look like I've got two sets of breasts and the only exercise I get is when I walk to the back door to let the dog out, I thought it was about time I got off my lazy fat arse and did something about it. So today is the day, for the last week I've got in to training by eating up all the unhealthy food in the house, and ordered in even more.
Day One
I got off to a great start. I promised myself I would get out of bed at 8 when Derren got up, I managed to drag my sorry arse out of bed at 9:30, yeah me! Before my shower I completed my first aerobic work out, go me! The DVD was called Start it up, if this is for beginners god help me when I have to move on to Ramp it up then again on to Burn it up! But I did it, and I'm a little bit proud, only a little as the hardest bit is doing it again tomorrow then again the next day. I even managed to keep to a healthy diet although I need to work on the food. I need to find some healthy filling food as I'm starving and the dog biscuits are looking tempting. Anyone got any tips on what I can eat to fill me up? I also need to work on the water drinking as I usually get most of my fluids from wine, but I'm on the wagon for January. I even managed a brisk walk with the dog, she's not going to know what hit her over the next few weeks. There was some funny noises coming from her, it sounded like she was chewing on stones although the noise could have been coming from my knees.
I promised myself I would get up at 6 tomorrow and do my work out before heading to work, ha ha ha ha! Check back tomorrow to see if I made, it's in black and green now so I need to do it. I need to lose 20lbs and too many inches to count in 6 weeks. Any encouragement is welcome. I'm putting my feet up now for a well deserved rest and ogle at Alex O'Loughlin.
Day Two
Well it's 7am, I had a rotten nights sleep which wasn't helped by the strange noises coming from Allan. So did I get up at 6 or not? The alarm went off at 6 and I sprung out of bed with enthusiasm! Not really, I did get up and do my work out but it was hard work dragging my aching body out of my pit. I felt a little better after the warm up but it didn't last long. I hate the smiling girls on the work out DVD, it's nice to have something to focus on. Well here goes the rest of the day, I'm not sure I even have the strength to stand up at the moment.
I've made it through day 2. However I've developed a strange walk, I look like I'm waiting to get both hips and knees replaced. Thank goodness I did my work out first thing this morning, I ached so bad when I got out of bed, if I had felt like that all day then had to do a work out tonight I wouldn't have bothered. On the bright side my aching body has taken my mind off of food! I did manage to take the dog for a walk tonight, although it was more like her taking me for a walk. I sit a lot at work, every time I got out of my seat my legs and butt ached. I nearly asked one of the guys in the office to move the water cooler next to my desk, but that wouldn't have helped as I still had to get up for the numerous toilet trips. I don't think they would have appreciated me asking for a pee bucket! Does anyone fancy popping in to pick up all the kids toys? I don't think I could even bend over for a packet of full fat pickled onion crisps at the moment. Oh well I'm off for a relaxing bath, then it all begins again tomorrow at 6. I've even stupidly promised myself I'll do a session of yoga at lunch time, I must be mad! It's a free class at work, I'm not one to pass up on something that's free.
Day Three
I was dreading getting up this morning so I was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't ache as much as yesterday. It's amazing how quickly your tolerance levels change and you are actually really happy that you ache because it's less of an ache than the day before. The alarm went off at 6 and I actually sprung out of bed, this wasn't down to enthusiasm. If I hadn't sprung up I would have hit snooze on the alarm clock and my work out would never have happened. My hate for the smiling women on the work out DVD motivated me through my session. I feel like punching them in the face but I don't have the energy to lift my arms.
I'm still waiting for the endorphins and joy of exercising to kick in, it might take a lot more exercise to change me from a grumpy old sod to a mad, smiling, crazed exercise freak!
I've made it through day 3 and I managed to fit in a session of yoga and a brisk walk with the dog. I still ache so bad but at least now I can bend over without nearly passing out and I no longer need a winch to get me off the toilet seat. Tomorrow I get a break from my work out, yeah! No getting up at 6, the alarm is set for 6:15 (I know how to spoil myself) I'll still be doing a wee mini work out. This one is supposed to revitalise me, I'll believe that when I see it!
Day Four
Ahhhh finally a rest day. I'm so glad the ache has now gone and I'm now enjoying seeing Allan go through the same pain as he is now doing the same workouts, but he is a day behind me. I had the luxury of a lie in until 06:15, lucky me. I did my allegedly revitalising workout this morning, it was great to have stretch but it nearly put me to sleep, I think the only way I could be revitalised is with a shot of adrenalin. On my rest day I managed to fit in two walks to school, I tidied the whole house (and that was no easy task), chauffeuring to nursery, gymnastics and swimming and I built a fire engine. Don't you just love rest days?
Day Five
Why oh why was today harder? I thought this exercising malarky was supposed to get easier. I hate getting up at 6 and I could have cried through my work out, it was really hard on my arms. I must have a really bad memory, I really struggled with that this morning and I have no motivation to keep doing this. I've crawled back in to bed after my shower and don't want to get out again today. I slept most of last evening on the couch then I couldn't sleep when I went to bed so that probably didn't help. I think I'll put up a do not disturb sign and hide from the world today.
Unfortunately life wouldn't let me hide under the covers today. This dip has taken me by surprise, I was so focused on how much I ached that I never thought about keeping myself motivated. I have a feeling that the motivation barrier is going to be tougher to get through than the pain barrier. My first step on getting through it was changing the time that the heating comes on in the morning. Hopefully a cosier house will be easier to get up to.
Despite my dip I still managed a yoga session and a very brisk walk with the dog, occasionslly she was struggling to keep up with me! My next step will be to not fall asleep on the couch and get a decent nights sleep. I'm off to catch up on a bit of Mr Boreanaz as I missed him last night whilst napping.
Day Six
Well that was a bit better this morning although I'm still not enjoying it. Instead of listening to the annoying music on the workout DVD, I provided my own sound track. I was listening to some excellent tunes on Radio Paradise, if you haven't discovered them yet then check them out. I had a better night sleep, well at least until 4 am. I woke thinking it was time to get up,it's a great feeling when you think it's time to get up and you still have hours to sleep. When you can't get back to sleep though, it's just cruel. My head was thumping as well, I don't think I drank enough yesterday. The work out cleared my head and I'm ready to tackle the rest of the day, I'm going to try to fit in a brisk walk at lunch time.
I've made it through my sixth day and I'm still alive and kicking. Not kicking very high but still kicking! I've even managed to increase my exercise with two two mile walks. I'm so looking forward to a morning without an alarm, it will just be a wake up call from an over excited 4 year old. At least I can get a cuddle from him.
Day Seven
Life is cruel, no need to get up at 6 today but the wee fella decided to shout out for me at 6! I tried to ignore him but he wasn't having it, when I went through to find out why he was shouting he said he didn't know!!!! When I got up to do my workout the house was nice and cosy for a change, I regretted that half way through the workout, who would have thought I would be harping back to the cold mornings. It's a lovely day so I'm hoping to get out in the sunshine with the kids. I may even have a go on my rollerblades, though I don't think I'm ready for a public appearance yet! I'm still not enjoying the exercising, hopefully that will come with time. I do feel like I'm coming down with a head cold but the workout helps to clear it for awhile so there does seem to be a benefit to all this pain.
I didn't get out with the kids as my super neighbour took them for a couple of hours while I did a two mile walk with the dog and put my feet up for awhile. I did get my roller blades on but I still don't have the confidence to go out in public so I wore them while I did my housework.
Week 2
I've survived the week and thankfully today is a rest day which we all need after the dramas of last night when Derren smacked his chin off of the coffee table and put his bottom teeth right through his lip. The weather is rubbish today so we are all having a cuddles and couch day.
Today is weigh and measure day, has this week been worth it? Drum roll please ........ I've lost 4lbs and 3 inches! One of those inches was off my boobs but you can't have it all. I'm more than happy with what I've lost this week hopefully I can keep it up for the next 5.
I fell asleep late afternoon while curled up on the couch with Derren while he watched cartoons. It knocked me for six, I only managed a 20 minute walk with the dog but I did manage to do a 15 minute stretching workout.
My plans for the next week are two two mile walks at lunch time, although I may fail at the first hurdle as I have a server rebuild tomorrow and I need to get the wee fella to the dentist. One yoga session and one pilates session. 6 aerobic workouts. 6 abbs workouts. 7 two mile walks with the dog and 2 school runs. Hopefully I can lose more weight and inches than this week.
Week 3
Well lets start with the positives. I've walked 20 miles this week. I've done 5 hours of aerobics and 45 minutes of yoga. Shamefully I think I've done more exercise in the last two weeks than the whole of last year. I was feeling really positive yesterday and in a moment of madness I signed up for a 26 mile walk from Hampden to Loch Lomond, you can sponsor me here. And if that wasn't enough I also signed up for a 47 mile cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. I don't have a sponsor page yet for that, I'll focus on that after the walk. If anyone fancies it they can sign up here.
Sunday is weigh in day and this week I lost 2lbs and 2.5". I'm pretty gutted, I'm hoping this is down to the extra muscle and next week it will be better. I'm finding it hard to get motivated after the weigh in. Next week I'm moving up to the ramp it up DVD which is a 50 minute workout. I still ache so much, how can I still be aching! I think I might need to employ my own masseur. Thank goodness tomorrow is my rest day, which means I get to sleep in until 06.30, I'm so good to myself. I haven't set any goals for next week except to do 6 aerobics workouts as I have no idea what the workout will be like, you never know it might kill me!
Week 4
I survived Ramp it up! I haven't been doing as much walking this week because of the pishy Scottish weather, however I did manage to do 14 miles over the week. It's Sunday morning I have a kids free weekend thanks to Granny and I still got up at 7 and did my workout this morning, I must be mad! However it was Andy Murray that motivated me this morning, I wanted to get my workout out of the way before his match started or I would never have done it today. I did my weigh in this morning and disappointedly I only lost half a pound this week. On the positive side I did lose 2.5". Last week I was disappointed with only losing 2.5" but this week none of those inches were off my chest, yeehaw! I only lost half an inch off my waist but this week I'm trying to be positive, the area just below my waist has a helluva lot more fat so I'm hoping I'm losing more from there. I've not been taken measurements from there so I can't be sure.
Another positive is that I now have realy pretty nails! I know, nothing to do with losing weight or getting fit but you've got to take the positives when you can.
How can you not be motivated with nails like that!
I probably only lost half a pound this week because I had a lovely child free meal out last night with the hubby. Next weeks weigh will probably be worse as I have a girly night out next Saturday plus I will have completed my Dryathlon, god help me! I think I need to up my game this week to counterbalance next weekends madness. So here goes, I aim to do five and half hours of aerobics. 20 miles of walking (i may regret that with the storm that's coming our way!). A yoga and a pilates session and an outing on my lovely new bike. Wish me luck!
Week 5
I'm still waiting for this energy boost that I'm supposed to get from exercising. I think it's passed me by. I have been shattered this week and my favourite place to be is in my bed! I've completed over 5 and half hours of aerobics and walked 22 miles, I didn't get a chance to get out on my bike but maybe next week. Despite the cheescake and wine I had last night while out with the girls, I still managed to lose a pound and 3". Slowly but surely I'll get there. I treated myself to a new pair of jeans, one size smaller than my current jeans! Go me!
I've now moved up to the more intense DVD, called burn it up. It wasn't good planning that my first time doing it was after a night of food and wine with the girls. I hid in my bed for good couple of hours before I plucked up the courage to do the workout. I survived it, just! I'm not looking forward to doing it again tomorrow, especially since I don't have time to hide under the duvet on a Monday morning.
I'm looking forward to lighter nights and better weather. I had a fabulous walk along the prom in the sunshine on Saturday but these dark, cold and windy evening walks are killing me. I would walk so much further if it wasn't for the weather.
I've got only two more weeks on this program, I'm going to have a good think about what I'll do at the end of the program. I'm not going back to my lazy old self but if I don't start getting a boost from exercising I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up the momentum. I've still got plenty of pounds and inches to lose.
I did learn a valuable life lesson this morning. Jumping jacks were not meant to be done when you aren't wearing a bra!
Week 6
All hail the granola bar! Finally, I've found something to give me that boost post workout. Stupidly it was taking me about 2 hours to get round to my breakfast after my work out. Now I snack on a granola bar while I cajole the kids out of bed and to get dressed. No longer am I falling asleep at my desk.
It's been hard going this week on the new DVD, especially on Thursday morning after a late dinner with my boss. All night I kept waking up thinking I can't do this workout my tummy is too bloated. I still did it but I was asleep before the kids that night and I learnt a lesson on when and what to eat in the evening.
This coming week is the last week of my 6 week program, sadly I lost no inches this week and only 1 pound. I hope I'm not stuck in a rut. There's is nothing like working your butt off and seeing no benefit to demoralise you. I certainly feel and look better so again I'm hoping the inches are coming off areas I'm not measuring. My clothes are starting to get baggy and the freak that I am is filled with horror at the thought that I will need to buy lots of new clothes!
I'm going to work really hard this week, I'm determind to lose loads of inches this and I really need to get out on my bike but this damn Scottish weather might have something to say about that.
6 weeks done and dusted!
When I started out on this 6 week challenge I never thought for a minute that I would succeed. Here I am 6 weeks later and I haven't missed one of my aerobic workouts. Plus I'm walking more, cycling and eating healthier. 6 weeks ago I could hardly walk the length of myself, after that first workout I could so easily have given up before I had proparly started. This is not the end though, I need to keep the momentum up and I really need to find a new challenge. The aerobic workouts are great but the getting up at 5:45 to do them is killing me and getting me down. I'm not sure what I should no next. There are aerobics classes in a few places in town but I'm not sure if that's for me. I've considered joining the gym, but again I'm not sure it's me. I think I would need to go with someone else so that I kept motivated. There is local project that are building a rowing boat and are looking for people to join them rowing up the Clyde. Now I'm not a strong swimmer and I hate being cold and wet but this does sound intriguing, I like the idea of working in a team and motivating each other.
Here's the positives from my hard work these last 6 weeks.
- I'm fitter
- I'm slimmer
- I've lost 9 lbs and 12 inches
- I'm healthier, I haven't had a cold or bug.
- My skins clearer
- I've had pains in my thighs ever since I had Derren, they have nearly gone.
- My cellulite on my thighs has gone
- I'm stronger
- I've dropped a dress size
- My breathings better
- I can smell. I've had no sense of smell for years, I'm not sure if it's the exercising or healthy eating or both that's made a difference
- I'm happier
There is always going to be negatives but at the moment there is only one big one that I need to work on, I'm shattered! I really need to find the right ballance of nutrition and exercising. Most nights I fall asleep on the couch and miss my quiet child free time.
I'm looking forward to the brighter, warmer evenings coming in. I've still got a long way to go with the amount of inches I would like to lose. It's a bit disheartening when I look down and see the excess fat around my waist but when I look back at the photos of me taken at the begining of this challenge, oh yes there are before photos and boy do they look bad, I feel a lot better. I'm 9lbs and 12 inches better off than I would have been if I had continued my normal lazy life and there is no way I'm putting them back on!

The Stanford Center for Law and Biosciences has decided to leave the WordPress servers for greener pastures: namely, the Stanford Law School blog aggregator.
This address will no longer be updated. All posts from this address have been migrated to the new address:
Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds accordingly.
On Thursday evening, September 25, and all day Friday, September 26, the University of Akron Law School hosted a conference on Law and Neurosciience. The web site for the conference can be found at
The whole conference was captured in streaming video; the web site says the videos will be available at the site on October 1. I was a speaker at the conference and attended all the sessions; I thought it might be useful to convey briefly my summary and impressions.
The Thursday evening portion was limited to a reception and a keynote address. (What, by the way, why do we call them "keynotes" – I know what a keystone is, but not a key note.) The keynote speaker was old, but I hope that I nonetheless did a decent job in outlining how neuroscience is likely to affect the law, broken into five categories: prediction, responsibility, mind-reading (i.e., using neuroimaging to detect pain, bias, or deception), "treatment" for criminal behavior, and enhancement. I also stressed the need to balance talking about the possible implications of speculative technologies with asking always whether these technologies work or are likely to work.
Friday was organized into four panels. The first panel, moderated by Judge Jed Rakoff of the SDNY, focused on lie detection. It featured Steven Laken, CEO of Cephos; Daniel Langleben, Penn neuroscientist and one of the two or three leading fMRI lie detection researchers; and Jonathan Marks from Penn State. Laken discussed the lie detection method used by Cephos, some of their research under submission, and three of their commercial cases. Cephos is currently providing lie detection services for $4,000. They are working on several cases that they hope will lead to court decisions in favor of admissibility of their evidence late this year or early next. (Laken said, at one point, that Cephos was licensed by Massachusetts to do lie detection, but clarified, when asked, that this meant the company had a private investigator's license, apparently required in Massachusetts for lie detectors.) Langleben, the inventor of the lie detection approached that Penn licensed to No Lie MRI (a firm with which Langleben no longer has any connection), seems to be optimistic about fMRI-based lie detection in the long run, but feels it is not ready for use yet. He noted the real problem of the absence of unbiased funding sources for good clinical trials. Marks spoke mainly of the uses and potential uses of this technology outside the court system, by the military and the intelligence. He had some powerful comments about the wide use but very limited value of polygraphy by American forces in Iraq.
The second panel, moderated by Michael Guttentag of Loyola (of Los Angeles) Law School, included Nita Farahany of Vanderbilt, Christiian Halliburton of Seattle University, and Michael Perlin of NY Law School. Farahany presented a really interesting paper distinguishing between what she calls "behavioral moralists" and the "law and evolutionary biology" school. She defined behavioral morality as the belief that "criminal behavior attributable to a physical cause is either not blameworthy or is less so." She argues that behavioral moralists would make the determination of criminal responsibility entirely objective while criminal law generally takes an objective, "reasonable person," view. Recognizing some value (or practical/political necessity?) for an insanity defense, she suggests looking at, for example, whether a person's reactions fell two standard deviations past the population mean. Michael Perlin, a long time scholar of the insanity defense, among other things, gave a candid and practical view of how neuroimaging is affectiing and may affect such cases. Christian Halliburton is very interested in how the Fourth Amendment relates to "cognitive surveillance," through neuroimaging or otherwise. He argues that the Fourth Amendment took a wrong turn with the Katz Court's focus on a reasonable expectation of privacy and suggests a revival of a property-based strand of Fourth Amendment law, but using some of Peggy Radin's views of property and personhood. I am particularly interested in seeing Farahany's and Halliburton's papers, as I think my time-zone befuddled brain did not capture all their subtleties.
Joëlle Anne Moreno of Florida International University School of Law moderated the third panel, which had presentations from Jane Campbell Moriarity, the host from Akron; Dov Fox, a D.Phil. and remarkably prolific 2L at Yale Law School; and Julie Seaman from Emory. Professor Moriarity (who may have the intellect but does not have the malevolent personality of the arch-enemy of the great Holmes – and, no, that's not Oliver Wendell, Jr.), an expert in scientific evidence, tied together the treatment of forensic science, the polygraph, EEG-based lie detection ("brain fingerprinting" and "BEOS") and DNA. She also discussed some worrisome aspects of the Military Commissions Act. Dov Fox talked about the Fifth Amendment's possible applications to a hypothetical truly effective non-consensual lie or memory detector. He argued forcefully for a broad application of the Privilege Against Self-Incrimination. Julie Seaman made an argument that took me by surprise. She hypothesized a perfectly effective lie detector and pointed out that this could have implications for the doctrine of jury nullification. Currently, we can only very rarely point to a case of certain jury nullification – a very controversial idea – because i is rare (to unknown) to have a tried case where we cannot come up with some theory under which the black box that is the jury could have reached a decision consistent with the evidence. Truly effective lie detection (with respect to testimony of the defendant or of the witnesses) might lead to more cases where a jury verdict one way or the other is impossible to explain as other than nullification. By bringing the reality of nullification into the limelight, it may put that reality under stress. (I wonder, though, how many cases involving false testimony would actually get tried in the face of truly effective lie detection.)
The final panel was moderated by Elizabeth Reilly of Akron Law School and included Jay Aronson of CMU's history department, Carter Snead of Notre Dame, and Stacey Tovino, formerly of Hamline but now at Drake. Aronson, an STS scholar who has previously worked on the history of forensic DNA, looked at the use of neuroscience evidence in disputes, judicial and legislative, about the death penalty for people who committed their crimes when juveniles. Carter Snead gave a talk based on his published work on the implications of neuroimaging for capital punishment. And Stacey Tovino had a fascinating paper on the use of neuroscience evidence in courts and, even more interestingly, before legislatures with respect to mental health issues that solely or disproportionately affect women. She found, for example, that decisions and statutes recognizing post-partum depression have made extensive use of neuroscience to "legitimize" the condition.
All in all it was an interesting and well-organized conference. Some (many?) of the talks should become papers in a symposium issue of the Akron Law Review. And I believe they are all going to be available in video on-line. My congratulations and thanks to Jane Campbell Moriarty and all of the University of Akron Law School for putting on this useful meeting.

Political ads stir health care horror
WASHINGTON (AP) - They're throwing granny off a cliff!
That's the not-so-subtle message Republicans and Democrats appear to be converging on for political ads on health care this year, featuring heavy doses of what each party alleges the other one plans to do to wreck Medicare.
From cost controls in President Barack Obama's health care law to GOP Rep. Paul Ryan's privatization plan for future Medicare recipients, there's something about health care that makes it a breeding ground for the wildest allegations.
Families feel vulnerable to the catastrophic costs of serious illness, and few understand the labyrinth of private and government insurance, allowing partisans to play to their worst fears. Add to that the belief among political pros that health care worries can drive the votes of seniors.
"It is easy to deceive on the issue because the knowledge base of the electorate when it comes to the complexities of health care is relatively low," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an expert on political communication at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Center.
It would be hard to top Sarah Palin's now-debunked assertion that "death panels" lurked in the recesses of Obama's law, but don't be surprised if that happens this year.
"Many people believe crazy things about health care because they want to believe them," said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Some of today's outlandish claims remind him of fears about fluoridated drinking water in the 1950s.
Sound far-fetched? It's already started.
A few months ago, former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum lent credence to an unfounded rumor that the Obama administration would deny advanced medical treatment to stroke patients over the age of 70, allowing only comfort care. It didn't seem to matter that two doctors' groups and the Health and Human Services Department were shooting down the rumor.
And as for throwing granny off a cliff, two political ads are already depicting just that - one from the left and one from the right. Both dramatizations are getting steady attention on the Internet.
The ad from the left, by The Agenda Project, features an actress playing an elderly woman in a wheelchair. Pushing her is a younger man acting the part of Ryan, R-Wis. It looks like an outing to a scenic overlook, but then he steers for the edge of the cliff as she tries to fight him off. He thrusts her over the side with "America the Beautiful" playing in the background. The caption urges viewers to let Ryan know America wouldn't be beautiful without Medicare.
The ad from the right, by AmericanDoctors4Truth, shows an elderly woman in a wheelchair being pushed off a cliff, this time by an actor representing Obama, after she demands a pacemaker recommended by her doctor.
The ad takes things to another level by using a snippet of Obama's voice. It comes from a rambling response the president gave in 2009 to a woman who wanted to know how his health plan might affect patients like her mother, who got a pacemaker at the age of 100 and enjoyed a good life.
A transcript of the town hall-style meeting shows that Obama didn't directly answer the question. At one point he suggests if there's waste involved it would be better to tell doctors and patients "you know what, maybe this isn't going to help, maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."
That snippet gets used in the ad. Later in the 2009 appearance, Obama said that maybe patients like the questioner's mother should get a pacemaker faster, if that helps keep them healthy. "I mean, this can cut both ways," he said. But those words aren't in the ad.
Jamieson, who directs a fact-checking project, says both ads are examples of "deceptive dramatization." Ryan's plan would not affect people currently on Medicare, she said. And the doctors' ad makes it sound as if Obama is cutting current Medicare spending, when his law merely slows the program's future growth. And it's unrealistic to suggest that either party believes it can afford to antagonize older voters.
Erica Payne, a former Democratic Party fundraiser who founded the New York-based Agenda Project, said she stands by the Ryan ad. "It's dramatic, but it's accurate," she said. Her organization is a public policy and advocacy group.
Ophthalmologist Jane Lindell Hughes, a founder of Texas-based AmericanDoctors4Truth, defended the Obama ad as a parody that responds to Payne's commercial. "It was absolutely a valid use of the president's voice," she said.
People targeted by health care distortions say the attacks can accomplish two things: turning an individual into a pariah and shutting down legitimate consideration of new ideas.
Pediatrician and health care expert Don Berwick, Obama's first Medicare chief, said he was never able to overcome the label of "rationer in chief" pinned on him by GOP critics of the health law, no matter how often he said he was against rationing.
"When a myth gains traction ... it creates a terrain of silence," said Berwick. "A new kind of calculus is needed here, in which people believe engagement about the truth is wise."
Economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin was GOP presidential candidate John McCain's policy chief in 2008 when the campaign unveiled a plan for a health insurance tax credit financed by a limit on the tax-free status of employer health insurance. It got pounded even though the idea had support from some prominent Democrats, and analysis showed it could work.
That experience "reflects a deeper truth," Holtz-Eakin said. "Health care is a big issue to the American people. If it's not a big issue, you can't make hay of it in a political sense."
The woman who asked Obama the question about a pacemaker for her centenarian mother said she was dissatisfied both with the president's response and how his opponents are using it in their ad.
"It was just tit for tat," said Jane Sturm of Long Island, N.Y. "It's not using intelligent reasoning."

Sony just won the console war for this generation. Not only is the PS4 going to be cheaper, Sony's CEO gloated on stage last night at E3 with the biggest possible grin as he detailed that all that nonsensical DRM crap that Microsoft is pulling, like blocking used games sales and stuff like that? Yeah, Sony's PS4 will have none of that. Sony even made an instructional video to explain how sharing games works.

Monica Potter, who plays Kristina Braverman on NBC's sleeper hit "Parenthood" (just renewed for a fifth season), had an emotional story about breast cancer this past season that had multitudes of fans clinging to boxes of Kleenex. And while it's not new territory for television (Kim Catrall on "Sex and the City" and Candice Bergen in "Murphy Brown" came before), it was nonetheless a journey of discovery for Kristina — and Potter herself. "I now know so much better what so many other women have the courage to go through," Potter says.
You recently had a little bit of a scare of your own?
I went for my first mammogram about a year ago. I noticed it was taking extra long to get it done, and the technician was redoing and redoing it. I was told, "I want you to come back. We see something here. We don't know what it is." Because they weren't able to compare it with anything that they had on file, it ended up that it's probably just a cyst, so now I go twice a year to keep an eye on it. But it was scary because you don't know and you can get that phone call anytime saying, "We found something. We want you to come back to check." That's scary.
I went from A to Z really fast. And then when I found out I was OK, I called Jason [Katims, "Parenthood" show runner] and I said, "What if we talk about Kristina's story line next season being about breast cancer?
So the cancer story idea came from you?
Well, he emailed back right away and said, "I have the chills. We just broke this story line in the writers' room for you." So it was like kismet. It was supposed to happen. And Jason's wife, in fact, had breast cancer and went through the whole experience.
When you got the script and read it, what was your first reaction?
I thought, "Oh, what did I get myself into?" [Laughs.] It was odd too, because my kids were really concerned. My son Danny, who is 22, said, "Mom, I don't like this at all. I know you and how you do your job. You're actually going to get sick."
And I thought so many women go through this and are affected and men and families, so I'm going to do this to the best of my ability; I'm going to try and knock it out of the park so that people will pay attention, early detection and all that. I went through a lot of emotions this year. I felt guilty for not actually having it, just a whole range of emotions.
How much input did you have into the script itself?
I let them write it. The one thing I did say to them is let's not have Kristina talk so much. I wanted it to be very visual.
Like the hair-shaving scene. Did you actually shave your head?
No, but I would have if I'd known what the bald cap would entail — something like three to four hours in hair and makeup. That scene we had to do in one take because we only had one cap — a woman had hand-sewn all the human hair onto it by strands. So there were no other options. The director said, "Good luck." But I think the way he shot it, he did an awesome job filming it.
The story was so intense and lasted for the season. Was it something you could let go at the end of the day, or did it drain into you?
I actually felt I went crazy this season. I started to see a psychiatrist. I couldn't let a lot of it go. But I also think that's good, that's cathartic, it's OK. There was a lot of self-discovery in this, and I was a little bit off, but I had to go to that place and come back to where I am now. I'm just grateful I got to do it, I really am, that I was chosen and that Jason had the faith in me to do it. And I wanted to do it to the best of my ability because essentially I was telling so many brave women's stories.

ASUS will be releasing its first Chromebox model in early April in Australia. It will be the first of three models, with next month's version being based on an Intel Celeron CPU, while a Core i3 version will be available from late May.
Configuration and pricing
The first ASUS Chromebox will come equipped with an Intel Celeron 2955U CPU, 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and a 16GB flash drive for internal storage. This is the same configuration we have seen in Chromebooks such as Acer's C720, and that model turned out to be a good option for tasks such as streaming YouTube and other online video streams to a TV. This will be the lure of the Chromebox for home users.
Unlike a Chromebook, which is often limited in its connectivity options, the ASUS Chromebox has Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, HDMI, DisplayPort, and an audio port. It also features Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. All of this is housed in a box that is 12.4cm wide and deep, and which has a height of 4.2cm. Its power supply is 65W.
The Celeron version will cost $299, while the Core i3 version, which is slated to come out either in the middle of May or late in May, will have a price of $499. ASUS also be bringing out a Core i7 Chromebox that will be optimised for video conferencing, but a release date or price for that has not yet been set by Google.
Target market
Chromeboxes are the desktop variant of Chromebooks, and just like their notebook counterparts, they run Google's Chrome OS operating system. They are designed to be simple computers, and they are effective at allowing users to make the most out of Google's many Web services, including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Hangouts, and more.
Target markets for Chromeboxes are home users, the education sector, and also businesses that require simple computers for their employees. Security is an angle that's pushed with Chrome OS due to the operating system's ability to automatically download bug fixes and patches, and also because users can't run any programs other than what they install from the Chrome OS store, which run inside the Chrome Web browser.
Furthermore, the machines can be easily set up and operated by multiple users in a 'hot desk' scenario since all that's needed to login and effectively use Chrome OS is a Google account and Internet access.

FOX Business: The Power to Prosper
Powered by streaking financial stocks, Wall Street quietly landed on Wednesday at levels unseen in more than two years and the S&P 500 notched its fifth rally in a row.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 26.33 points, or 0.23%, to 11559.49, the Standard & Poor's 500 gained 4.24 points, or 0.34%, to 1258.84 and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 3.87 points, or 0.15%, to 2671.48. The FOX 50 picked up 2.40 points, or 0.27%, to 898.79.
The latest mini rally on Wall Street occurred in the face of disappointing reports on third quarter gross domestic product, November existing home sales and Nike's (NYSE:NKE) earnings. None of those events triggered much selling, keeping Wall Street's bullish trend in tact.
"The absence of sellers and tremendous resiliency of the market have been the story of the last two weeks now," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities. "Nothing can make the market overall go down."
Yet it would be hard to put too much credence into Wednesday's gains as volume was exceedingly low amid the holiday-shortened trading week. The markets also traded in a very tight range, with the Dow moving just 38 points between its high and low.
Most of the Dow's 30 stocks ended in positive territory, led by financial giants Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM). The index's weakest links were American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).
Financial stocks stayed hot, extending their Tuesday gains by jumping another 1%. The rally continues to be driven by speculation the industry will see more M&A action, especially in the wake of Hancock Holding's (NASDAQ:HBHC) $1.5 billion all-stock deal to acquire fellow Gulf Coast bank Whitney Holding (NASDAQ:WTNY) at a healthy 42% premium.
With that in mind, the financial sector was driven higher by regional banks like SunTrust (NYSE:STI) and Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ:ZION).
"There's clearly some significant buying in the financials across the board and that has been the main strength behind the market," said James.
After two days without any major economic headlines, Wall Street traders had a pair of key reports to analyze on Wednesday.
The Commerce Department revised third-quarter GDP growth to just 2.6%, up from 2.5%. Economists had expected a bigger upward revision to 2.8%. The government also cut consumer-spending growth from 2.8% to 2.4%.
However, the report is very backward-looking as Wall Street has largely set its sights on the fourth and first quarters. Economists have recently raised their estimates for 2011 economic growth, thanks in part to the deal that extended the Bush tax cuts for two years.
Likewise, Wall Street mostly shrugged off a new report from the National Association of Realtors showing existing home sales rose by 5.6% in November to an annual rate of 4.68 million units. The markets had been expecting a 5% increase to a rate of 4.72 million units. However, home builders like Pulte (NYSE:PHM) and Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) closed sharply higher.
In the commodities complex, crude oil rose 66 cents a barrel, or 0.73%, to $90.48 -- its highest level since October 2008. Gold declined $1.40 a troy ounce, or 0.10%, to $1,386.80.
U.S. markets are scheduled to be closed on Friday in observance of Christmas.
Corporate Movers
Walgreen (NYSE:WAG) jumped 5% to 52-week highs after the drug store chain beat the Street with a third-quarter profit of 62 cents a share, compared with estimates of 54 cents. Walgreen said its same-store sales grew 0.8% and prescription sales rose 5.3%.
Nike (NYSE:NKE) slumped 5% a day after revealing future orders, excluding currency exchange rates, were up a disappointing 11%. The key metric overshadowed a stronger-than-expected fiscal second-quarter profit of 94 cents and a 10% rise in sales to $4.84 billion.
American International Group (NYSE:AIG) is reportedly nearing a decision on a preferred bidder for Nan Shan Life Insurance, the Taiwan business it is attempting to raise $2 billion by selling. According to The Wall Street Journal, AIG's directors are expected to confer Thursday and a choice will likely be announced next week. The insurer has been narrowing its list based on who is most likely to win approval from a local regulator, the paper reported.
Orbitz (NYSE:OWW) slumped nearly 6% after the online travel site was dumped by AMR Corp.'s (NYSE:AMR) American Airlines. American stopped selling and displaying its ads on Orbitz after a judge turned down Orbitz's request for an injunction on such a move.
Sony (NYSE:SNE) launched a new cloud computing-powered digital music service called Music Unlimited that gives users access at any time to about six million songs from major record labels. The service is debuting initially in the U.K. and Ireland and is set to expand to the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and New Zealand in 2011.
Global Markets
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 rose 0.53% to 5983.49, France's CAC 40 slipped 0.20% to 3919.71 and Germany's DAX sank 0.14% to 7067.92.
In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 fell 0.23% to 10346.50, Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced 0.22% to 23045.20 and China's Shanghai Composite lost 0.90% to 2877.90.

Global Market for Advanced Drug Delivery Systems to Grow to Nearly $212.8 Billion by 2018
Wellesley, Mass (PRWEB) December 13, 2013
According to a new technical market research report, Global Markets and Technologies for Advanced Drug Delivery Systems, from BCC Research (http://www.bccresearch.com), the global market for advanced drug delivery systems was valued at nearly $176.7 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach nearly $182 billion in 2013. BCC Research projects the market to grow to nearly $212.8 billion by 2018, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate of 3.2% from 2013 to 2018.
The global advanced drug delivery market is driven by biologics and administration of medication through nontraditional routes such as rectal, vaginal, implants or transdermal. Also, some traditional pharmaceuticals are more effective and cause fewer side effects if delivered in forms that allow a continuous or extended release of the drug. These factors, along with new developments in targeted drug delivery, are helping in the treatment of diseases locally with minimized harm to healthy surrounding cells. This is leading to expansion in the advanced drug delivery market.
Advanced drug delivery systems offer many more advantages, including improved therapy by increasing the efficacy and duration of drug activity, decreased dosing frequency, convenient routes of administration, and improved targeting for a specific site to reduce unwanted side effects. The challenge for both drug and drug delivery companies is to deliver existing and emerging drug technologies in a manner that would improve drug administration for the patients.
The development of new drugs necessitates the development of different drug delivery systems, which may be already under patent, and this also forces companies to collaborate. Targeted drug delivery, which includes liposomes, nanoparticles and monoclonal antibodies, was the largest revenue generator for this market during 2011 to 2013.
The research-based pharmaceutical companies and institutes are continuously working towards the discovery and development of new drug delivery systems. This has led to mergers and profitable partnerships between pharmaceutical companies. Indeed, transdermal technologies have opened new doors for pharmaceutical partners seeking to create delivery mechanisms for existing molecules with no viable delivery system and existing drugs that could benefit from additional delivery systems, such as compounds that were previously unable to be delivered through the skin.
Advances in understanding the human biology and diseases are opening new and exciting possibilities in the biotechnology industry. R&D spending, along with increasing competition, patent expiries, and new technologies will continue to shape growth in this market for the foreseeable future.
This technical market research report encompasses drug delivery systems in pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets. BCC Research analyzes each market by its type, region and its applications, regulatory environment, technology, market projections and market share. Technological issues include the latest trends and developments. The emerging markets for drug delivery systems include countries such as India, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and others.
This study contributes to the areas of market growth in various drug delivery systems manufacturers and users. Pharmaceutical biotechnical companies and research institutes will find this study to be of interest.

Military haircuts have been trending for the last couple of years, yet there is still a lot of misinformation going around for these particular haircuts. Sit back, pour yourself a glass of the strongest Scotch whiskey you have and proceed to enjoy Rogelio's epic blueprint slash guide on military haircuts.
Military Haircuts for Men: The Guide for Awesomeness
Military haircuts have been increasing in popularity as of lately. Well, when I say as of lately, I'm actually referring to as of a couple of years ago. It goes without saying that the internet is the go-to medium for learning all sorts of epic stuff, which means that, until not that long ago, military haircuts used to be exclusively reserved for military personnel, yet nowadays with the advent of the good ol' Internet all these war-themed hairstyles are used to make fashion statements, shape one's overall looks and even, sigh, look cute and glamorous.
You see, there are 12 military haircuts that have been used throughout the 20th century and all of these haircuts share the same fight-oriented trait: to offer a low-maintenance hairstyle that never blocks one's visual field and that doesn't allow for the hair to get trapped inside the helmet or clipped in the shirt's collar. Ergo, all military haircuts are short haircuts (and thus hairstyles) and none of them allow for the hair to exceed the two-inch hair length mark. Usually in the military, the higher the rank, the longer you're allowed to wear your hair; furthermore, the more you spend out on duty and in the battlefield, the shorter your hair will be in order to avoid potentially-catastrophic scenarios. Incidentally, the higher one's rank is in the military, the less time he/she will be spending in the actual battlefield, hence the direct correlation between the length of hair in military men and their rank; this is just an observation, but it proves the point that military haircuts are designed for physical action.
Some pretty-geeky Wikipedia-esque stuff I have just told you above, huh? OK, back to the topic: military haircuts.
As said, there are 12 military haircuts that have been used by folks in the military for decades. I'll go through each of the military haircuts in this article, but allow me to quickly list them below:
- Induction Cut
- Burr Cut
- Butch Cut
- Regulation Cut
- Fade
- High and Tight
- High and Tight Recon
- Crew Cut
- Ivy League Cut
- Flat Top
- Brush Cut
- Undercut
The above 12 military haircuts have been popular at one time or another since the First World War (i.e. since 1914, for those who skipped history classes at school). I'll give y'all some examples of how military men have sported different haircuts:
- The Undercut was sported by just about every German soldier in Nazi Germany back in the late 1930s and early 1940s; incidentally, Hitler sported a Regulation Cut.
- Men in the First World War went for Regulation Cuts as it was then that the battlefield tactics evolved and men wore heavy helmets in freezing temperatures.
- The High and Tight Recon has been the flagship haircut of the Marines from the 1960s onwards. In fact, the Marines developed an actual haircut called the Recon, which is the extreme version of the High and Tight haircut (you'll read more on this haircut below).
Make no mistake though, there may be a good variety of military haircuts, but all of them must be short haircuts that are no longer than two inches in hair length; as a matter of fact, most military haircuts actually have the hair at one inch or lower in length. When you are shooting the enemy and getting shot back in return, there's really no need to look all glamorous and pretty like Pauly D on a Friday night, don't you think?
Would you want this dude on your side fighting some crazy rebels with AK-47s?
I rest my case
Induction Cut
The Induction Cut is what you get when you are thrown into boot camp. The Induction Cut is a clipped haircut with no guard attached to the hair clipper; essentially, the hair is at a near shaved length and will look like facial stubble. The hair is clipped with no guard all around the head (i.e. you'll be left with no hair). It's a great haircut to scare old women in the mall.
A man with an Induction Cut getting done goofed
Burr Cut
The Burr Cut is one step above the Induction Cut in terms of hair length. A Burr Cut is clipped with a guard number of a one or a two, which means that your hair will end up being about 1/8 of an inch or so (click to read hair clipper lengths). Like the Induction Cut, the Burr Cut clips all of the head with the same guard number.
A Burr Cut
Butch Cut
The Butch Cut is yet another step up from the Induction Cut in terms of hair length. Simply put, the Butch Cut is an all-around clipped haircut done with any of the higher guard numbers of your hair clipper, so basically any guard number between a three and a five (and remember, you use the same guard all around your head).
A Butch Cut will make you shout, but don't take my word for it
Regulation Cut
The Regulation Cut is the (usual) haircut of higher ranking military officials (though not all sport Regulation Cuts!). The Regulation Cut allows up to two inches of hair on the top of the head although the hair is rapidly tapered down the sides and back of the head (using first a pair of scissors and then a hair clipper). The taper is done to skin, which means that the line of hair running across the sides and back of the head blends into the skin (see Fade haircut below).
A Regulation haircut actually looks quite good and leaves some length on the top to style
Fade haircut
A Fade haircut is a haircut that allows for the gradual decreasing of hair length until the hair is no longer seen (i.e. done to skin). A Fade haircut is typically done on the sides and back of the head to taper (i.e. decrease in length) the hair; since the fade can end up at different heights on the sides and back of the head, there are thus three types of fade haircuts: Regular Fade, High Fade and Low Fade.
A Regular Fade (aka a simple Fade) has the hair on the sides and back of the head finishing at one's natural hairline, so basically the hair is tapered right till where your hair ends on the nape and ears. On the other hand, A High Fade has the hair visibly ending only one to two inches below the top of the head, or, in other words, there will only be hair visible on the upper part of the sides and back of the head. And, with a Low Fade, the hair ends visibly lower than a High Fade but higher than a Regular Fade, so a low Fade usually ends up about one to two inches above the natural hairline.
Overall, with a Fade haircut, the hair on the top of the head can be any length although, for military personnel, a Fade haircut will never have the hair on the top longer than two inches. If what I have written about the Fade in these preceding paragraphs makes as much sense as a drunk monkey attempting to write Cantonese in Cyrillic script, then thou shalt also read my Fade haircut guide to learn all the tidbits about the Fade and its variations.
The picture above shows a regular Fade haircut, notice how the fading reaches the hairline of the ears
High and Tight
The High and Tight haircut is a cool haircut that screams "military" as much as Justin Bieber screams when he sees a cockroach. The High and Tight basically has the hair clipped very short all across the sides and back of the head whereas the top of the head is left with a hair length of up to one inch. The guard length used for the back and sides is either a one, a two or no guard at all, and the hair on the top is usually clipped with a guard length of one or two numbers higher than the sides and back of the head.
With the High and Tight, there is no real smoothing of the edges between the hair on the top of the head and the hair on the sides and back of the head, although you may want to get a little fading done on the edges as a High and Tight can make you look like a walking mushroom if done improperly (don't say I didn't warn you).
The High and Tight is one cool haircut, brah
High and Tight Recon
The High and Tight Recon haircut (aka Recon) is the super-uber-cool haircut of REAL MANLY MEN. Oorah!!
Ok, ok… I made that up as I'm feeling a tad Marine today ("oorah" is the Marine's chant for action)… but, oh boy, the Recon is one haircut that I have personally tested and concluded to have the ability to make women want to throw their panties at me (true story, bro). Considering that I'm one ugly huggable puppy, I can ascertain that what the Recon does to my looks is one darn good feat.
The Recon haircut is basically an extreme High and Tight haircut since the hair on the top of the head is made smaller in surface area and shorter in length, with the hair on the sides and back of the head being made shorter too; you thus end up with an almost-bald head with a mere strip of hair on the middle of the top of your head, which in military jargon is referred to as a "landing strip". The landing strip is the recognizable trait of a High and Tight Recon haircut and it is the haircut of the Marines too (which partially explains the chic-magnet effect it has).
The dude on the right has a Recon haircut (notice the "landing strip" of hair) whereas the dude on the left has a High and Tight haircut
The above is yours truly with a Recon haircut (seen from the back). And yes, the meat under my head is my neck and traps
Crew Cut
The Crew Cut is a conservative haircut that has been used by not only military men but also by sportsmen; most notably, the Crew Cut has been sported by team members (or crews) in boat races between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Apparently, the winning team gets to party with the hottest nerdy females of the losing university; I have seen these nerdy females in real life, and you ain't missing much in case you are wondering what they are like.
The Crew Cut is very simple: the hair on the sides and back is tapered down to the hairline and the hair on the top of the head is clipped/trimmed from the vertex towards the front so that the hair on the front of the head is slightly longer than the hair on the crown (i.e. vertex); the front may be left with some length to style, but never more than one inch. Bear in mind that what I have just given you is the US definition of the Crew Cut; in other countries (i.e. European ones), the hair on the top of the head can be (and will usually be) left at the same length and not be tapered as with the US version of the Crew Cut.
Even soccer players know about crew cuts
Ivy League haircut
The Ivy League haircut is a haircut that was most popular with the undergraduates of the Ivy League universities, although the Ivy League haircut has been used plentifully by military men alike (especially higher-ranking military personnel). An Ivy League haircut is also known as a Harvard Clip, a Princeton Clip or a Brown Clip, but this has more to do with one's university affiliation than with any standardized name for the haircut.
An Ivy League haircut is basically a longer version of a Crew Cut. In the Ivy League, the hair is longer on the sides and back (compared to the Crew Cut) albeit the hair is still tapered and finished with a hair clipper at the hairline. With regards to the hair on the top in the Ivy League haircut, the hair is also longer than in the Crew cut, with a length for the Ivy League between one to two inches and usually allowing the hair on the front to be slightly longer than the hair on the crown, keeping a wedge-like pattern when the hair is seen from the side (the wedge-like pattern is also seen in the Crew Cut but is not as noticeable due to shorter hair lengths).
Matt Damon knows it best: military haircuts rock!
Flat Top
The Flat Top is one diesel haircut that unfortunately isn't feasible for men with curly hair (damn you, curls!). The Flat Top was the haircut of Guile in the video game Street Fighter and Guile was one of my favorite fighters (along with Ryu), so this haircut carries some good memories of the countless hours I spent in my childhood playing the Super Nintendo with my pals and trading games (p.s. anybody don't agree that Super Mario 3 is like the best game evah????).
The Flat Top requires a haircut that carefully trims the hair on the top of the head so that, when the hair is lifted up (i.e. brushed up), the hair forms a flat surface; the hair on the sides and back is done with a high fade too. Lastly, if you feel like having some LOLZ and epic WINRARHS, you can grab a hair clipper with no guard attached and buzz through the center of the top of your head so that you end up with no hair inside the Flat Top; this idioti… I mean interesting version of the Flat Top is known as a Horseshoe Flat Top and is the sort of haircut that military guys get when they get stupidly drunk on their free day or when regular Joes like yours truly get stupidly drunk and decide to test haircuts "in the name of Chuck Norris".
I haz curlz so I haz can't a Flat Top, but it's still a darn good military haircut
Brush Cut
The Brush Cut is sort of similar to the Flat Top haircut, but, in the Brush Cut, the hair need not form a flat surface when lifted up; the hair in the Brush Cut is simply trimmed so that the hair looks neat and cool when the hair is brushed up with a comb or brush (don't use a comb or brush if you have curly hair though, use a wide-tooth comb instead!). Simon Cowell, known for his scripted funnies in garbage TV shows, sports a trademarked Brush Cut, just in case you were wondering since every week I get at least one person asking me what haircut Simon Cowell has. An actual cool dude who sported an equally-cool Brush Cut was Val Kilmer aka Tom "Iceman" Kazanski in Top Gun.
Ladies' man Tom Iceman Kazanski aka Val Kilmer (when he was young, that is)
For every weekly question I get asking me what's Simon Cowell haircut, I get some twenty more questions asking me how to do an Undercut. The Undercut, informally known as an SS haircut or Darmody haircut, is a haircut that has been trending for the last two years for some unknown reason; it is like every male in the United Stated under the age of 25 must have an Undercut because each one of his Facebook friends has an Undercut. For the love of Bambi, fellow male readers, think and don't be sheep: only get a particular haircut if you truly think it suits you and not because "everyone is getting one". If you regularly get silly-looking haircuts because you have low self-confidence and simply want to fit in, then I recommend you to get my bestseller (yes, bestseller) book, The Curly Hair Book, as I cover not only all about hair care and hairstyling for men but I also give you some good motivation and mental encouragement so that you get to use your hair to help construct the puzzle that makes you as a male. If you don't have curly hair and/or would rather read more formal stuff, then get my other bestselling book, The Men's Hair Book.
Ok, back to the Undercut.
The Undercut is a mere bowl haircut, which means that the sides and back of the head are clipped short (up to a number three guard length) whereas the hair is left as long as you want on the top. Of course, in terms of military haircuts, the Undercut should only have the hair on the top of the head at a maximum length of two inches, but you are free to have your hair as long as you want although, the longer the hair, the sillier the Undercut tends to look as there is no smoothing of the haircut's edges (although you might want to get some fading done on the edges due to the aforementioned walking-mushroom effect).
In terms of how to do an Undercut, well, it's as easy as convincing Justin Bieber to spend an evening reading past issues of Cosmopolitan: grab a hair clipper and clip the sides and back of the head with the same guard number, that's it. In fact, you quite likely got an Undercut as a kid as mothers in the '80s had a tendency to do the whole "place a bowl on your head and cut anything below it" (i.e. bowl cut). I believe they got that from watching ET (the movie) as I think the kid in that movie (Elliot) gets a bowl cut too (movie connoisseurs, feel free to correct me on this one as it's been a long time since I watched ET).
Loads of pomade and an Undercut…
Hair products to use for military haircuts
Since all military haircuts emphasize a short length, your range of hair products to use could not be any more simpler; essentially, all you need is a good hair clipper that can withstand some heavy-duty clipping and a hairstyling product such as a wax, pomade or hair gel. I suggest that you get a good hair clipper and not go for cheap ones since cheap hair clippers break down much faster than good hair clippers; you'll be using the hair clipper quite often so you need to own a clipper that is reliable and won't heat up like a frying pan. Get these (click the links for the products):
- This hair clipper is an excellent value for money and quality
- This hair clipper is one of the best you can get if money is secondary
- This hair clipper is a good one if you prefer cordless clippers
- This pomade is good for any sweeping or slicking of the hair
- This wax is good for shaping the hair while giving it some good sleek
- This hair gel is good to define your curls or brushing up of the hair
- Get this triple mirror to see the sides and back of your head when clipping
- The Curly Hair Book: because you need a hair book for men that isn't the same rehashed crap pumped out by magazine editors who have to satisfy deadlines
- The Men's Hair Book: the same as above, but more formal
Military haircuts: Conclusion
Just over 3000 words; I have written over 3000 words on military haircuts and have, in the process, managed to get in two Justin Bieber jokes; this really is as good as you're going to get for a military haircuts guide slash blueprint, my dear Manly Curls reader. Basically, I always tell dudes asking me for advice to try at least one of the military haircuts in their lifetime because any of the 12 haircuts above will give you some extra freshness and added convenience that none of the trendy diva-like haircuts of today will ever give you. For many of you, it will be your first time ever getting a manly haircut and I can guarantee you that, when you look in the mirror for the first time with a High and Tight or a Brush Cut, you will feel like kicking some derrieres that day and tattooing "Born To Kill" on your arm.
Questions? Comments? Let them known below, gentlemen.
All the best

I'm a big fan of Microsoft Visual Studio, but sometimes it's easier to fire up a lightweight tool, try some code, and use those results in my main development project. When it comes to any programming that includes LINQ, my tool of choice is LINQPad (www.linqpad.net). LINQPad is free, small (2MB), downloadable, and requires no installation.
More Than Just LINQ
The LINQPad utility was written by Joseph Albahari, who along with his brother Ben Albahari co-authored C# 3.0 in a Nutshell. Albahari includes 200 examples from this book in LINQPad. At the heart of LINQPad is a standard text editor that lets you quickly type single expressions or many statements, execute them, and get nicely formatted output to look over.
LINQPad handles any valid Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 C# statements against collections of any kind (such as in-memory collections, XDocument-based XML, or SQL Server-based objects). The LINQPad samples don't require that the code be based on LINQ; code can be based on any C# code snippet that you want to try out. If you want to extend the tool, you can add references to your own assemblies and build up your LINQ queries against those objects. I've done this often to iteratively work on queries against the business objects in my Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) VS.NET-based solution. It's so much quicker to use LINQPad to write the query, test it, get it right, and then paste it into my real code.
Pros: Free; no installation required; supports LINQ (e.g., objects, XML, SQL) and any other Microsoft .NET code; references external assemblies; has formatted hierarchical output; comes with lots of good documentation
Cons: No IntelliSense in the current editor (it's planned for a future version); keyboard shortcuts are different from Visual Studio and not customizable
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Price: Free download
Recommendation: Definitely download and try if you're working with LINQ or just want a fast code snippet editor.
Contact: Joseph Albahari • www.linqpad.net • Phone (Australia) 04198 23232 (International) +61 4198 23232
LINQPad displays formatted output that shows the results of your executed code. I like the hierarchical, treeview output for collections that you can expand and collapse as desired. Each node shows the object type and the count of items in a collection. In addition, you can see any embedded objects in the object graph and you can expand or collapse these objects, which gives you a visual feel for your data model.
There are three handy buttons you can use to see different types of output. The Results button is selected by default; it shows the graphical output of the query. The lambda operator shows the lambda equivalent of any of your LINQ queries that are IQueryable. The SQL button shows you any SQL statements that are executed based on the LINQ to SQL statements you executed. You can learn some complicated SQL by inspecting this output, as the following example shows:
SELECT \[t0\].\[CustomerID\], \[t1\].\[ProductID\] FROM \[Orders\] AS \[t0\], \[Order Details\] AS \[t1\] WHERE \[t0\].\[OrderID\] = \[t1\].\[OrderID\]
Wish List
One of the shortcomings of LINQPad is the lack of auto completion in the editor. Many developers have come to rely on the IntelliSense offered in Visual Studio. Most of the time, I use LINQPad as a way to get the syntax right for a complicated statement or explore new possibilities with queries, and it's very helpful to have the available members on a particular object right there in an auto completion list. The LINQPad community has been asking for IntelliSense on the support forums, and Albahari is listening—IntelliSense is in the works. A beta switch in the current version shows you that he's working on it. Run LINQPad with a parameter of -beta and you'll have IntelliSense:
LINQPad.exe -beta
As indicated on the support forums (forums.oreilly .com/category/22/C-3-0-in-a-Nutshell), only C# 2.0 features are currently supported.
One more feature I hope Albahari adds in a future release is the ability to customize the keyboard shortcuts available throughout the application. Shortcuts such as Ctrl+K, to comment a block of code, and U, to uncomment a block of code, while close to the Visual Studio equivalents, throw me off just enough to misuse them quite often. I'm such a keyboard-centric user that I want to map the shortcuts to those I use in Visual Studio 2008. I'd like to see keyboard commands to expand or collapse nodes in the output window added as well.

The cheapest way to get your computer onto the internet is through your existing phone line. This usually requires a 12 to 18 month contract.
Because fixed line internet connections use your existing phone line you will already be paying line rental to whoever provides your telephone service. Naturally, many broadband providers want to provide your phone line as well as your internet and offer deals to try to get you to switch. These deals may be referred to as 'bundles' and might have additional sweeteners such as free printers etc...

The amount of 'data' you can download per month. Doing anything on the internet means downloading data. . Once you reach your limit the internet stops working for the remainder of the billing month. Things like watching shows on BBC iPlayer and downloading music can really whizz through your limit. Several ISP's offer unlimited internet.
This is an alternative to the 'fixed line' connection that comes through your phone line. A small device (about the size of a bourbon biscuit) called a 'dongle' plugs directly into your computer making it very quick to set up. Pay as you go options as well as long term contracts are available but both these options tend to be more expensive, slower than fixed line connections and the data allowance that you buy can expire in 30 days. 1 month contracts are available that can be as cheap as fixed line connections but usually have much lower data limits.
Required for fixed line internet connections, these plug into your phone line and your computer. These should be supplied free when you sign up with an ISP.
This is how fast the internet comes into your house measured in Mb (Megabytes). Faster internet makes things like watching television shows on BBC iPlayer easier and quicker. If you're just browsing the internet and sending emails you don't have to worry about speed.
Your computer is not wirelessly enabled therefore you would need either to plug your computer directly into the router with the cable provided or to purchase a USB wireless adapter which retails for around £10.
