Data for Lasik Surgical Treatment PatientsThe Lasik operation can be a fantastic, life-changing alternative for lots of people whose vision is less than best. There are several different types of Lasik operations now offered, from the original and well documented procedure to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done entirely with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik procedure ought to be talked about with the physician that is to perform the operation.
Like any surgery, Lasik does have the potential for adverse effects.
Sometimes reading the horror stories of the results of a Lasik treatment can hinder individuals from seriously thinking about such a choice. It is also real that the huge varieties of people who have a successful, hassle-free Lasik surgical treatment tend not to report a long and in-depth story of their experience, unlike those that have actually experienced difficulty afterward.
Nevertheless, it is good to understand what the possible side effects of the Lasik procedure are, as well as the possibility that one of these side effects will take place for a particular client. Much like any medication we take, each has a possible number of side effects, however we typically assume that the possibility of a major negative effects is small, and we take the medicine anyhow. This short article will hopefully put concerns of the prospective Lasik client into viewpoint so that they can calmly and thoughtfully consider having a Lasik treatment carried out in the future.
More than one million Lasik procedures are done in the US every year, inning accordance with the FDA. This arm of the nationwide government has collected the following data for the most common negative effects of the Lasik treatment. These statistics will also vary by the doctor performing the surgery, so ensure to obtain as much details on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After Lasik surgery, 1.7 percent of patients experience some glare or sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by client, however this level of sensitivity is specifically obvious when taking a look at a intense light, such as a streetlight when walking in the evening, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related adverse effects is a halo around a light, and this happens in 3.5 percent of Lasik patients.
The brand-new, remedied vision can be seen rapidly by some Lasik patients, in just a few hours after surgery. Most clients that have actually over at this website undergone the Lasik procedure discover the change is permanent within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have actually had a Lasik procedure done, there is persistent visual variation within a minimum of a part of their sphere of vision.
Finally, some clients do not get a totally fixed sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure. This occurs with a small number of customers, and the FDA statistics are that just 3 percent of patients have this effect. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an additional Lasik treatment to enhance this.
This detailing of the major long-term adverse effects of the Lasik treatment ought to put any individual scary stories into perspective. Notice that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this ought to bring convenience to most prospective Lasik clients. Nevertheless, it should also encourage them to look carefully at the Lasik physician's personal record.
There are numerous various types of Lasik operations now readily available, from the original and well recorded treatment to Lasik treatments done with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. It is good to know what the possible side effects of the Lasik procedure are, and also the possibility that one of these side impacts will happen for a particular patient. Many patients that have undergone the Lasik treatment discover the modification is irreversible within a couple of days. Some patients do not get a fully corrected sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure.

Pelosi Accuses CIA of 'Misleading' Congress on Waterboarding
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at her weekly news conference, repeated her assertion that she was briefed only once on enhanced interrogation methods seven years ago, and she accused the CIA of misleading Congress.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday accused the CIA of misleading Congress about its use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terror detainees.
"Yes I am saying the CIA was misleading the Congress, and at the same time the (Bush) administration was misleading the Congress on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, to which I said that this intelligence doesn't support the imminent threat," Pelosi said at her weekly news conference.
"Every step of the way the administration was misleading the Congress and that is the issue and that's why we need a truth commission," she said.
Under a barrage of questioning, Pelosi adamantly insisted that she was not aware that waterboarding or other enhanced interrogation techniques were being used on terrorism suspects.
"I am telling you they told me they approved these and said they wanted to use them but said they were not using waterboarding," she said.
Growing increasingly frustrated throughout the briefing, Pelosi slowly started backing away from the podium as she tried to end the questioning. As she backed out, she continued to accuse the CIA of not telling Congress that dissenting opinions had been filed within the administration suggesting the methods were not lawful.
The CIA immediately disputed Pelosi's accusation, saying the documents describing the particular enhanced interrogation techniques that had been employed are accurate. CIA spokesman George Little noted that CIA Director Leon Panetta made available to the House Intelligence Committee memos from individuals who led the briefings with House members.
"The language in the chart -- 'a description of the particular EITs that had been employed' -- is true to the language in the agency's records," Little said. "The chart I'm referring to is, of course, the list of member briefings on enhanced interrogation techniques."
Republicans also questioned Pelosi's charge.
"It's hard for me to imagine anyone in our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said at his weekly news conference. "They come to the Hill to brief us because they're required to under the law. I don't know what motivation they would have to mislead anyone."
The top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., told FOX News that Pelosi's accusation against the CIA is "not credible."
"I am afraid she has disremembered what she went through," he said. "We have had not only the records from the CIA but the contemporaries who were there with her had other views on it, so I am afraid that this is not a credible explanation."
Pelosi said she was briefed only once on the interrogation methods in September 2002. She acknowledged that her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, informed her about another briefing five months later in which Bush officials said waterboarding was being used on CIA terror detainee Abu Zubaydah.
Pelosi said she supported a letter drafted by Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee who also attended the briefing in February 2003, and sent to the Bush administration, raising concerns over the technique.
Pelosi's account has changed several times in recent weeks as she has sought to clarify what she did or didn't know about the interrogation methods that she is pushing to investigate.
Pelosi said last month that she was never told that the controversial interrogation methods were being used. But a national intelligence report later showed that she was briefed seven years ago on the tactics while she was on the House Intelligence Committee.
Her spokesman then said the speaker thought the techniques were legal and that waterboarding was not used.
Democrats will hold a series of hearings on Justice Department memos released last month that justified rough tactics against detainees, including waterboarding and sleep deprivation.
While Democrats want the hearings to focus on what they call torture, Republicans have tried to turn the issue to their advantage by complaining that Pelosi and other Democrats knew of the tactics but didn't protest.

Noir S is made of aluminum so it's quite light - 115 grams without a disk inside. The body is tough and will not bend under pressure. The surface is brushed and comes with a subtly engraved Akasa logo.
Fingerprints and grime can be wiped off easily. The aluminum is quality indeed as there are no scratches after a year of using the enclosure. Furthermore, aluminum is quite good with heat dissipation, which means passive cooling for the disk inside.
The box shows Noir S and lists USB 3.0 speeds. As you can see or already know, USB 3.0 connection enables data transfer at 5 gigabits per second, which is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
The package claims that Noir S is for 2.5" SATA and SSD drives, which means it will only take drives with SATA connector.
As you can see, the design is simple yet effective.
As you can see from the picture below, users get everything you need, even a screwdriver for the side screws. A simple soft pouch is also part of the package. This pouch comes in quite handy as it will act as shock absorber and scratch prevention at the same time. Akasa also threw in a separate power to USB cable, so you're quite covered there.
- Super Speed USB 3.0 connection
- 5 Gbps max data transfer - up to 10 x faster than USB 2.0
- Stylish brushed aluminium finish
- Aluminium body for good heat dissipation
- Power and data blue LED's
- Suitable for all 2.5" SATA drives
- Compact enclosure powered from USB for easy mobility
- USB 2.0 backward compatible
Mounting the drive inside Noir S is so simple that the user's manual is practically obsolete. After removing the side-screws, you simply take out the PCB and strap it with a 2.5'' drive. Note that the side screws are quite small and so are their threads. This at the same time means that you should be careful when screwing them in, since too much force will damage inner threads. This is exactly what happened to us but we're sure that the thread was already bad. Still, you've been warned.
The picture below shows that only SATA drives are supported. All the electronics is on the bottom side of the PCB, while the top is lined with a protective layer that prevents drives from any short-circuiting. Once you put the PCB back in the enclosure you'll have to put it back into the guides on the side, which means that the drive will never touch the enclosure.
The enclosure utilizes a JMicron JMS539 controller. The JMS539 is a bridge controller, which translates the communication protocol between SATA II 3.0G and SuperSpeed USB commands. http://www.jmicron.com/Product_JMS539.htm
The USB cable is at the same time a power cable. All you need to do to use the drive is connect it to a USB port in your computer. The USB 3.0 drivers for Windows 2000, XP, VISTA or Win 7 are supplied by the USB 3.0 motherboard or extension card manufacturers. There are no additional drivers required. To achieve maximum data transfer speed a system with USB 3.0 port is required.
Should the hard drive inside the enclosure fail to spin up or your system hasn't recognized it, you may need to use the additional USB-to-DC cable for extra power. Connect the other end of the USB-to-DC cable into any USB port on the system and the other end to the DC 5V port of your Noir S enclosure. It depends on your HDD power requirements and amount of current available from USB port. Normally the enclosure should work with single cable.
Before disconnecting the Noir S please close all windows and quit all running applications that are stored on the external drive before unplugging the USB cable. Not doing so may result in loss of data! You can optimize the external drive for quick removal in Disk Management (Windows), which allows you to disconnect the drive at your convenience whenever the hard drive is not busy transferring data.
The drive is 125mm long, 80mm tall and 16mm thick. The shorter sides are made of 1mm thick plastic and are sturdy enough. The other shorter side is covered in protective nylon that prevents scratching and closes a small window on that side.
The window is here to see the blue LED lamp at the end of the PCB that carries the drive. You can see the LEDs and part of the PCB on the picture below. You can take this side off as well but there is no need to do so because taking the drive out will only require removing the connector part of the enclosure.
You'll notice just how faster USB 3.0 is than USB 2.0 from the data you're copying. If, for instance, you're copying an mp3 album of about 200MB, the difference will be quite small, but when we're talking about 12GB transfers, USB 3.0's advantage will easily climb to three minutes. We measured about 36 MB/s read speeds with traditional drives. However, throwing in an SSD managed to boost this result to over 150 MB/s.
The USB 3.0 cable you get with the enclosure also powers the drive so there's no need for external power. However, Akasa threw in a USB-to-DC cable in case you require more power. Note however that we had no need for it as the enclosure worked just fine on all the computers we tried it on.

Reading Camp on the Green
July 11, 2017
The reading camp at the green is an hour long activity complete with fun books to read, teepees to retreat to and a child friendly campfire to sit around and story tell. Reading outdoors provides an amazing sensory experience for children and allows them to explore sounds, work on their listening skills and learn to pay attention. The reading camp will involve a number of tasks that will create a wonderful learning environment for the children. From word and color hunts to using the outdoors to act out their favorite books; the reading camp is definitely a great way to encourage a love for books in young minds and hearts. To enjoy this activity your child needs a picnic blanket, one of his/her favorite books and lots of imagination.
The Reading Camp was created by a young mom whose child spent many days at the hospital. At just 6 months of age she noticed that her baby boy loved escaping to the wonderful worlds the books took him to and she really wanted to share this joy with other children. Story telling is a beautiful way to learn; and by participating in the reading camp children can make new friends, enjoy some sunshine and let their imagination grow.

Peter Paul Payack was within a mile of the finish line at the Boston Marathon on April 15 when the bombs exploded, ending the race in an instant.
As the 25-year-old Cambridge resident left the course, the moment he had rehearsed in his mind so many times slipped away.
Since then, Payack has gone back to Boylston Street. He's tried to run what should have been the final stretch of his first full marathon. Crowded with cars and bikes, and without the cheering crowds, the street didn't feel the same, he said.
PHOTOS: The Boston Marathon bombing
But on Saturday, Payack got the finish he imagined.
He and more than 3,000 runners and bombing victims ran the final mile of the marathon in an event called OneRun, which began in Kenmore Square. It ended with cheering crowds at the Boylston Street finish line.

Formerly: annaelise
wore my baby on my back for the first time!
It was great!! I have an infantino mei tai which I am really loving the more I use it! I found a blog or something that showed how to put a baby on your back by putting the baby on the mei tai and then putting the straps under their arms and picking them up like that and and putting them on your back. It worked great...it took me forever to do and I would like her to be a bit higher up on my back and maybe a little tighter to my body but she felt really secure. She's almost 5 months.
I can't believe I've never tried this before. It allowed me to pick up all the toys strewn around the house, tidy, and get lunch for my older DD. Normally, I have to either listen to her cry while I do these things, or wear her on my front which is doable but gets in the way of all the bending down.
Wow is all I can say! haha I'm sure all you babywearing experts are like "duh!"
Any tips to perfecting the art of wearing a mei tai on your back with a little one? or doing it safely when going to the grocery store, etc. It did kinda make me nervous that I couldn't see her.

Jason Schwartzman is a modest, engaging and unassuming actor given his pedigree and success. The son of late producer Jack Schwartzman and actress-director Talia Shire, the young actor could count among his clan such notables as cousin Nicolas Cage and uncle Francis Ford Coppola It was cousin director Sofia Coppola (Uncle Frank's daughter) who noted the similarities between him and the character of Max in Rushmore(described as "a playwright, horrible in school [who] loves older women"). Sophia made the introduction of Schwartzman to the casting director of "Rushmore." Nervous about embarking on a career in the movie industry (accurately labeled "the family business" by Schwartzman), he often consulted his experienced mother for advice during filming. Whatever the method, his highly acclaimed performance in the critically touted film serves as a testament to its success.
Although he had auditioned for the role of Tom Hanks' matchmaking son in 1993's "Sleepless in Seattle" (which went to Ross Malinger), acting was not Schwartzman's primary focus. In 1994, he formed a band called Phantom Planet, serving as a drummer and songwriter, hearkening back to another familial influence, his grandfather, Oscar-winning composer Carmine Coppola. Phantom Planet was signed to Geffen Records and released its debut album, Phantom Planet Is Missing, in late 1998, shortly before "Rushmore" was released to rave reviews.
While he has insisted that his career in the L.A.-based pop-rock outfit comes first, Schwartzman has signed on to do another movie with the Wes Anderson/Owen Wilson filmmaking team, this time playing one of a family of zany geniuses in a New York City set comedy. Even Schwartzman's decidedly un-WASPy looks befit both his real-life roles as a rock star drummer and a thoughtful actor. His unique screen presence and unquestionable talent for acting added to his creativity and determination as a musician just might equal a thriving career in both fields.
Schwartzman chose his subsequent roles carefully, appearing in low-budget, low-profile films which kept their integrity as individual expressions. He appeared in Roman Coppola's directorial debut "CQ" (2001), a period film about a struggling director (Jeremy Davies) making a movie about the future, and the anti-high school comedy "Slackers" (2002). He ended that year appearing in the more mainstream "Simone" (2002), starring Al Pacino as a down-and-out Hollywood director making a last ditch comeback by turning a computer-generated woman (Rachel Roberts) into a star.
After gaining recognition for "California," a song he wrote for Phantom Planet that became widely known thanks to the success of the independent film " Orange County" (2002), Schwartzman starred to great effect as a speed freak in the critically acclaimed "Spun" (2003). The young actor attempted a foray into series television with the sitcom "Cracking Up" (Fox, 2004), playing a student who moves into the guest house of a seemingly picture-perfect, but apparently crazy Beverly Hills family. Despite the pedigree of creator Mike White and a healthy dose of critical raves, the series died on the vine.
Schwartzman's gift for portraying quirky characters seemed far better suited to edgier big-screen fare, as evidenced by his turn in writer-director David O. Russell's fourth feature "I [Heart] Huckabees" (2004). He next popped up in a supporting role as Will Ferrell's intensely focused, truth-impaired Hollywood agent in the big screen remake of the classic '60s series "Bewitched" (2005) before co-starring in the big screen adaptation of Steve Martin's bestselling novella "Shopgirl" (2005).
In Sophia Coppola's stylish period piece, " Marie Antoinette" (2006), Schwartzman gave a slyly detached performance as the young King of France, Louis XVI, who weds the daughter of Austrian nobility (Kirsten Dunst), only to spend the next several years failing to consummate the marriage, much to the chagrin of the court advisors wanting an heir to the throne.
The actor is winning raves in the HBO series "Bored to Death" and last seen in cinemas in the ensemble dramedy, Funny People. Next up is his vocal work as the son of one "Fantastic Mr Fox". He spoke to PAUL FISCHER in this exclusive interview.
Question: Now when you do a voice of a character that is so much younger than you, do you work vocally on reinterpreting that character, in a situation like this?
Schwartzman: Well, I asked Wes. When he said that I would be playing the character of Ash, and I read it and I saw that he was an adolescent, a young kid, I asked him if I was to prepare a higher voice, or what he wanted. And he asked me to try it, but as kind of a – just to say that we tried it. But really, he always felt that he'd rather me just speak in my normal voice. So, I didn't make my voice higher or anything. But sometimes I did, I guess.
Question: What were the challenges for you to play Ash, and to give him his own particular vocal identity, as it were?
Schwartzman: Well, just first of all, playing it, it was really – have you heard how we did all the audio tracks for this movie?
Question: Yeah.
Schwartzman: So, you know, we did it live.
Question: Yeah. Which is very unusual.
Schwartzman: It's so unusual. And I got to say that I think that one thing that was kind of great about it was, I didn't think that I was ever playing a young fox, you know? Even though I knew what the character looked like, and I'd seen the puppet, I didn't ever think, " Oh, I'm playing a fox." And I think that I would have done that, to help me, probably, with my imagination, if I was to do it in a recording studio, alone, in the more orthodox style of doing animated movies. And I probably would have imagined myself as a fox. But I think because we were all together, you know, all of us running around on location and really digging in the ground if our characters were digging, and really playing these scenes out in a very realistic way, and having it recorded very crudely, and – in almost like a documentary style – I think that it kind of allowed me to forget all of the stuff about me being a young kid, or being a fox. And I just tried to play these scenes with George Clooney and Bill Murray as sincerely as I could. And I think that it just kind of came out that way. You know what I mean? There was no time – in a great way, there was very little time to over-think it, because it was all just happening so fast around us. And in fact, there was very little discussion between Wes and I in terms of what he wanted from me. I read the script, and it just seemed – he had written it so well, and so succinctly, it just – it was all there. And I just felt like I just – I just got to go in and perform these lines well, and just – as long as I just connect with George Clooney and Bill Murray, maybe I'll be okay.
Question: Do you and Wes have a shorthand now that because you guys know each other very well, and worked together before. Does it make it easier on this kind of movie?
Schwartzman: Well, I feel like maybe the better friends you are, I think that there is a shorthand. Wes is, first of all, a very articulate person. Just, anyways. And – you know, sometimes it can be difficult if you're working with a director, and they're not able to express what they mean, or what they want from you. They can't – they don't know how to articulate themselves. And it's nice to work with Wes, because he's so articulate, and he's such a gifted writer and has such a way with words, that I never run into that problem. So on top of that, his super-articulate powers – or, his powers of being super-articulate – we now have a shorthand. I think that it comes from so many years of being close friends, and also having had so many shared experiences. Like, we've gone through so much together. So many highs and lows, and weird moments, and surreal moments, that it doesn't take us very long to get on track with one another, and to express ourselves. Even now he lives in Paris, and sometimes I don't see him for a very long period of time, but once I see him, we're kind of right back into our natural rhythm of friendship. But what I'll say is I think that it makes the work harder, but in a good way, because you have no excuse not to go for it. Like, he has seen me at my worst, not only personally, but just in takes. The hardest thing I find about acting is just how embarrassing it is a lot of the time.
Question: Why?
Schwartzman: I don't know why. When you're working with someone new, the scariest part is, lhat moment before you say your lines for that first time. Because you think they're going to hear you say it and go, " Wait a second. This guy's – this is wrong. This is awful. Get this guy out of here." And – so with Wes, he has seen me so bad before, and – you know, known me for so long, that there's such a nice feeling of trust that allows you to go – that allows me to feel like I can go deeper and farther, because I'm not worried about being bad, because he's already seen that, and he's already seen all these great things. So, we have no excuse at this point not to completely explore everything together, when we're doing a take. I think the more you know someone, the less you can be lazy. You have no excuse to be lazy.
Question: Why did you feel this was the right time for you to do television with Bored to Death?
Schwartzman: Oh. That's a good question. I don't know about right time or wrong time. All I know is, this is just the time that Jonathan Ames and I collided. And I think it just happened. basically, years ago – and this is – it's really weird. Years and years ago, I was going out with a girl who gave me one of his books, and said, " You should read this book. You would love it." And she literally said something like, " You seem like you could be this guy in this book, and you would love this writer," or something. And I was like, " Okay." And I read it. And it was, like, not only did I love the writing, but I felt, " Man. Who is this guy? Who is this writer? He's so amazing." And I read all of his books after that, and I was so excited that I had – not – I hadn't discovered. But in my life, a discovery had been made, and this great new figure was in my life, at least from a distance at that point. And then I – I actually saw, he had adapted this very book that I was given, called Wake Up, Sir. So, he'd adapted it into a screenplay. And it was sent to me, and I saw – right when I opened it up, I saw, " Jonathan Ames, Wake Up, Sir." Before I even read it, I called my agent, and I said, " I don't know what the story is, if there's tons of actors probably trying to get part of this, or – you know, everyone wants to be in this, maybe. But can I just – I just want to meet with him and express to him how much I love him as a writer."
And – we got each other's e-mail addresses, and we began a correspondence, which I was very nervous to do, because I typically don't like to talk to anyone that I really admire, because if it goes bad, it can be really bad. Like, I had a thing happened where when I was 18, I really loved this one band. And I was at a concert, and I was – stood next to the singer at a concert by chance. And then I told him how much I liked him. And then we started talking, and then I made, like, a couple jokes, and then weird references to things. And it just – we never clicked. And to this day, I literally wince if the music comes on. It kills me. And so the writing – his writing had become such an important thing to me, and I was nervous – you know, " What if I sit down with this guy, and it just – he's so smart, I'm an idiot." You know, " What if we just don't click?" But that was not the case. And actually, right upon meeting him, I had a very strong feeling that this was someone that I was going to – you know, hopefully be working with. And it is a thing, like being on a first date, in a weird way. Like – you know, you don't want to get your hopes up too high. But you're thinking, " Wow, I really like this person." You know, " I hope they – I hope they want to – you know, creatively kiss me at the end of the night." You know what I mean? Like, you're so nervous.
And we were talking about Wake Up, Sir, the script that he was writing. And I asked him – and not only that, but the meeting went on for hours. It was like, a five hour meeting. And it covered every topic, and just everything. And – you know, he's also a teacher. So he was giving me a syllabus of books to read. And – you know, " You should read this book on writing," and nah nah nah. And I was saying, " Well, I'm stuck. I can't write this thing. I'm trapped here, what do I do?" And – anyway, it was just very inspirational. And after a couple hours, I said, " So, what are you doing in Los Angeles? What brings you here?" And he said, " Well, actually, I've written a short story for McSweeney's, but HBO actually read it and has optioned it, and they want me to turn it into a series for them." And I said, " Oh, that's so great. What's it about?" And the second he launched into the premise, I felt this weird feeling which I can only say in retrospect was like, a combination between jealousy and greed. Which was like, " Wait a second. I know we're here talking about Wake Up, Sir. But this sounds like what I want to do, too. But can I do that? Can I want this many things? Can I be this selfish?" I felt like a kid at Christmas who was like, " I want that. No, I want that." No, I just – you know, and – by the way, I'm not in a position creatively where I can be like, " I want that." But that's how I felt. Like a little kid inside.
And just to backpedal for a bit, I was feeling a bit adrift creatively, looking, struggling to find something to do next that I really could relate to. And I was with my friend, and he was saying, " Well, if you could just have it your way, if you could just customize your own piece, what would you want to play?" And I said, " Well, I've always wanted to be a private detective. But I just don't know how to do it in a way that's right for me." And so when your favorite writer is telling you at lunch that he's going to do this private detective piece, which is this archetype that you've – or, this modern-day superhero that you've been wanting to play forever – the two of those things together was just – it was like, such – it was too good to be true. And I felt almost insane with excitement. And – but I didn't tell him that then. But I just basically – I saw in front of me, silently in my head, " This is what I want. If I take this thing that I love, this character that I love, and you put it through his filter, it's going to be something that I – I might be able to get my hands on. I can get into this." And so he sent me the short story, and I read it without ever saying, like, " Is this something I could also talk to you about doing?" But he sent it to me, and I printed it out, and I loved it. I loved it so much, the short story. It was incredible. And I called him, and I said, " Would you mind sending me the script, so I could just see how you adapted it?" And he sent it to me. And after the first page, I put it down. And I called my agent, and I said, " Is there any way that I could, like – kill for this part? Because I've got to play this character." And I begged, I petitioned, I did everything. I met, I auditioned, I did everything that I needed to do to get that part.
Question: And HBO has renewed it to, they've picked it up. Is that right?
Schwartzman: They have, yeah. And so for me, it's just fun because it doesn't feel like I never thought we were doing a TV show, in a weird way. It just feels like doing a movie. There's one camera, there's a crew, you're on location, you're busting your ass 18 hours a day. And in fact, it felt more like doing a 2 1/2 hour-long movie. You know, it's the same characters – you know, meeting and getting into trouble. It was very exciting. It was more like – it was like short stories or something. It's been really – I would have been heartbroken if we couldn't have come back, because I really had a great time.
Question: What else are you involved in doing at the moment, Jason? Because I know you're producing a lot of stuff. I mean, is there anything you're working on besides –
Schwartzman: Well, I just finished another movie for this director named Edgar Wright, who made a movie called Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz.
Question: I know Edgar Wright very well, yes.
Schwartzman: Oh, great. And I made this movie with him called Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. And that will be coming out in July.
Question: And whom do you play in that?
Schwartzman: I play a character named Gideon Graves. The movie's about Michael Cera, who falls in love with this girl, but in order to get her and to date her, he has to defeat her seven ex-evil-boyfriends, in these crazy battles and I am the final baddie, the big baddie nemesis. I'm like, a record producer, and I'm like, really kind of maniacal and crazy, so that's what I did. Then I came home, and I've been trying to write my third record. Then I'm going to ship off to New York to go to Bored to Death again in about two months.
Question: It sounds like you're a busy lad. Are you having fun?
Schwartzman: I am. And it's weird, because it's been odd, my career has been a combination of like – I feel like I work, but I go in this weird – like, it's hard for me to get a job. It's hard. I'm not at the acting level yet of the other guys, where they could just, like, get a part like some people would order a pizza. You know what I mean? Like, it's very difficult for me to be in the movie. It takes – and that's why I haven't done as many movies as a lot of – like, a lot of other people my age have done, like, twice as many movies. It's just really hard to get it all together. And for me to be in a movie – it takes, sometimes, a near miracle. And I feel so lucky. And you can't believe, like – I never thought I would be doing this for a movie. I never could have conceived of it. And so – and it's odd. I would have thought, over the years, perhaps that feeling would have dwindled. But it just gets – it gets more intense, actually. Like, this feeling of like – I feel like a bit of an imposter. I don't know why I'm working. I don't know – this has just been incredible, and I'm just – basically, my entire goal is just not to ruin people's movies.
Question: Well, you haven't done that so far.
Schwartzman: But it's been odd, because this movie, for instance, Fantastic Mr. Fox – I did this two years ago. And – over time, then, the like – the show kind of came – like, everything kind of came together odd – like, the way – the timing of it was weird. It seems like I'm, like, busy. But in fact, it's been slow. And then it just kind of all came to fruition simultaneously. But, I mean, you'd be surprised how often I'm just at home in my underwear, doing nothing. I mean, embarrassingly so.
Question: I don't believe that's possible.
Schwartzman: Oh, it's – I'll prove it to you. It's very possible.
Question: No, no – okay.
Schwartzman: I won't – okay, maybe I won't prove it. I won't prove it.

Fate brings the two women together in adulthood to compete for the coveted position as executive chef of Arirang Restaurant, a national bastion of traditional Korean cuisine. Go Joon Young (Sung Yuri), the real daughter of Arirang's executive chef, Sung Doo Hee (Jun In Hwa), was lost at sea when she was 4 and presumed dead, but she was saved by a couple and raised in a remote fishing village. Song Yeon Woo (Seo Hyun Jin), who lost her mother in the same boating accident that claimed Doo Hee's daughter, Ha In Joo, assumes In Joo's identity and trains diligently as a chef at Arirang under Doo Hee.

Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has become the first UK artist to 'record' a single with the late Elvis Presley.
Digital technology allowed the Scottish songstress to perform with the legend on his 1971 Christmas hit O Come, All Ye Faithful.
Susan describe it as "awe inspiring" to sing with her hero, adding: "Duetting with Elvis was beyond my wildest dreams."
The 52-year-old said she grew up with his records being played and often went to see his films.
At the press conference she also told fans a film will be made about her amazing rise to stardom.
"Watch this space," she said. "There are plans in operation, but that's for later on."

One of the most precious commodities is time.
Lipscomb's Buddy Harston knows that. And he appreciates having more time to work with his golfers in his first season as the full-time golf coach for the Bisons and Lady Bisons. He had spent the past four years in a part-time capacity.
"I am going to four practices a week where I used to go to one or maybe two a week," Harston said. "It seems like I have so much more time because my mind is not trying to figure out how to promote myself as a teacher for private lessons. It is really refreshing."
Harston pointed out that both teams have fully realized that there is a full-time coach. That means more intense and focused practices and more meetings.
"They will be able to learn so much more now that I am there with them," Harston said. "They won't be on their own when they practice. I will be there.
"It has been an adjustment because we are going from spending 10-or-12 hours a week working on the golf to 20 hours. I am more engaged because I see the upside potential of both teams."
Effort equals results in every sport, and Harston, a former Bisons baseball player, thinks that statement is even more accurate in golf.
"In golf you can't get by on just talent," Harston said. "You can for a day or two or a round or two. But to be good at golf you have to be consistent.
"That's the first step. You have to be consistently working on the aspects of your game that need work. And it is my job to make sure they do that."
As a result of that extra work Harston's players are developing a better understanding of what he wants overall.
"They are starting to see why we spend so much time on the short game and putting," Harston said. "Before I would talk about it and then they would go to the course and see how hard they could hit the ball with their drivers.
"When I am out there now with them they can't do that. They can do it on their time, but they can't do it on my time. Working on the short game is like working on rebounding, playing defense and shooting free throws in basketball."
Last week the Bisons spent two hours working on the short game, spending 30 minutes on putting and 1 1/2 hours on wedge shots. Harston set out a hoop on the green and they hit 10-yard shots, 20-yard wedge shots and 25-yard wedge shots.
"I guarantee you none of them had ever done that before," Harston said. "That might tell you that they have, but they haven't.
"They had to make five shots on the fly into the hoop before going to the next one. After 30 minutes they were still trying to get the ball into the first hoop."
During the first meeting for the season Harston's theme was priorities. They are God and faith, family, school and golf.
"Things like Vanderbilt football, Tennessee football, boyfriends or girl friends are way down on the list at about 15th," Harston said. "Before I would talk about priorities, but I couldn't follow through. Now I can."
Harston likes what he sees in both teams in terms of future potential.
The Lady Bisons have welcomed three freshmen _ MacKenzie Carter, Sabrina Ferreri and Catherine Musser.
"Sabrina's mother was a LPGA pro and played on the tour," Harston said. "Catherine has the best swing on the team. MacKenzie is tall and very athletic. She hasn't played golf that long.
"They want to soak it in. You can just sense that they want to get better. I'm really encouraged by the attitudes of the freshmen."
Dustin Wilder, Ryan Terry and Kyle Wittler are newcomers for the Bisons. Terry is a walk-on who has qualified for two of three tournaments this fall.
"I know if they do what I ask them to that their stroke averages will get better," Harston said. "In the fall I am looking to see what they need to work on mentally. It is all geared toward the spring and conference championships.
"We don't just throw these tournaments away. But we work on our golf swings in the winter. Once the fall season is over we will start breaking down their swings and working on the fundamentals. I have more time to communicate with them and their parents what we are doing."

California Bans All E-Voting Machines
from the take-that dept
We knew that California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley understood the real issues involved with complaints concerning electronic voting machines. After all, he was the one last year who said that all electronic voting machines in California should have a paper trail. Now, following a recommendation last week concerning problems with the way Diebold managed their e-voting machines, Shelley has gone even beyond the recommendations to say that all electronic voting machines will be banned from the state, unless they implement a certifiable paper trail or put in place a specific list of 23 security measures. At the end of the article, he also appears to indicate that he's asking the state Attorney General to file charges against Diebold for knowingly breaking the law.

Mary Ann Kluga, RN, MPS, LCDC, Leander ISD's Alcohol Drug Awareness & Prevention Team (ADAPT) coordinator, and Todd Pfaff, assistant principal at Vista Ridge High School are offering the Parenting the Love and Logic Way® course during the fall of 2017.
This six-week program is designed to help parents nurture responsible, respectful, fun to be around children who will learn how to make their own choices, own their problems, think critically and logically for themselves, while parents let empathy and consequences do the teaching.
The course is appropriate for parents with any aged child and any situation: home, school or even work. The instructional approach includes discussions, video clips presented by the Love and Logic Institute staff, workbook exercises, and homework to practice the "new" skills presented at each class. You do not need to have a child in Leander ISD to attend. Any one is welcome. If you cannot make these classes, another class will also be offered by Kluga in early 2018 (more details to follow).
Fall 2017 classes will be held on Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 6 p.m.-8p.m at Vista Ridge High School (200 S. Vista Ridge Blvd., Cedar Park 78613) on the following dates: October 10, 17, 24, 31; November 7 and 14.
The cost is $35 per individual and $55 per couple, if you share the materials. If you have taken the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® course previously at LISD, the revised workbook is available for $10. Scholarships are available. Child care is NOT available.
To register, or for more information, click here to visit the Parenting the Love and Logic Way® website.
Engage, inspire, achieve for lifelong success.

Remote Desktop
First of all, what is a Remote Desktop?
With the Remote Desktop feature in Windows XP, you are able to control a computer from another office, from home or while traveling. For example, with this feature enabled, you can use the data, applications and network resources that are on your office computer, without even being in your office!
Remote Desktop is the new name for the older Windows based Terminal Services Client that (like with Windows 2000), would allow you to connect to and manage a server remotely for up to two connections. It also allows you to do maintenance on the server and so on. The Remote Desktop in the Windows Server 2003 and XP versions allows the same functionality, except it's now enhanced and easier to use.
To use the Remote Desktop, you need the following:
- Windows XP Professional installed on your office computer, or whichever computer you plan to operate remotely. This computer is known as the host.
- Display data and keyboard data are sent over a WAN or Internet connection, so make sure that you are working over a good connection. To use a Remote Desktop over a slow connection could be a burden. It will work, but it may not respond as well as you would like. You can also use low bandwidth connections. They will also allow you to remotely control a system.
- Both computers must be connected to the Internet
- To set up the Remote Desktop, start with the host computer:
1. Verify that you are signed in as the administrator.
2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click System.
4. Click the Remote tab, select the "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" checkbox and then click OK.
Next, make sure you have the Windows Firewall set up to allow exceptions.
1. In the Control Panel, click Security Center.
2. Under "Manage security settings for," click Windows Firewall.
3. Make sure the "Don't allow exceptions" checkbox is not selected.
4. Click the Exceptions tab and verify that the Remote Desktop checkbox is selected.
5. Click OK and then close the Windows Security Center window.
Your host computer is now set up to allow remote access. Next, you will need the name of the host computer.
6. In the Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, click System and then click the Computer Name tab.
7. Write down the full computer name and then click OK.
8. Close the Control Panel.
9. Leave this computer running, locked and connected to the corporate network with Internet access.
Connect your remote computer to the host computer:
To connect your home computer, which is the client (or remote) computer to your work (or host) computer, follow these steps:
1. On your home computer, click Start, point to All Programs and then point to Accessories.
2. In the Accessories menu, point to Communications and then click Remote Desktop Connection.
3. In the Computer box, type the computer name of your host computer, which you wrote down earlier.
4. Click Connect.
5. When the "Log On to Windows" dialog box appears, type your user name, password and domain (if required), and then click OK.
The Remote Desktop window will open and you can see the desktop settings, files and programs that are on your host computer. Your host computer remains locked and nobody can access it without a password. In addition, no one will be able to see the work you are doing remotely.
To end your Remote Desktop session:
1. Click Start and then click Log Off at the bottom of the Start menu.
2. When prompted, click Log Off.
Remote Desktop in other versions of Windows:
In continuation to the previous article on Remote Desktop in Windows XP, we are about to learn how would other Computers connect to a system running the Remote Desktop. First of all, we would need to set up our computer as a Remote Desktop client, for which installation of a Remote Desktop connection (or Terminal Services Client) is required. Another requirement is that your computer must be able to connect to the remote computer by means of a network connection, dial-up or an Internet connection. The following table will gi
ve you a better idea of what I am saying.
Operating System
Client Software
|Windows XP (all versions)
|Remote Desktop Connection (installed by default)
|Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Remote Desktop Connection
|Windows 2000 Professional
|Remote Desktop Connection (installed by the user)
|Install from the Windows XP Professional CD
|Windows 95/98
|Remote Desktop Connection (installed by the user)
|Install from the Windows XP Professional CD
|Windows NT 4.0
|Remote Desktop Connection (installed by the user)
|Install from the Windows XP Professional CD
To install Remote Desktop Connection on computers running Windows 95 / 98 / NT 4.0 / 2000 Server / 2000 Professional:
1. Insert the Windows XP Professional operating system CD into your CD ROM drive
2. From the Setup menu, click Perform Additional Tasks and then click Set Up Remote
Desktop Connection.
3. In the Remote Desktop Connection InstallShield Wizard, follow the instructions until the installation is complete.
Establishing a Remote Desktop Session:
After installing the appropriate client software on the client computer, you can connect to the remote computer.
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Remote Desktop Connection.
2. In the Remote Desktop Connection dialogue box, in the Computer section, type the name or
IP address of a computer running Windows XP Professional for which you have
Remote Desktop permissions.
3. Click Connect.
4. In the "Log On to Windows" dialogue box, type your user name, password and domain (if
required), and then click OK.
And there you have it! Now, you can remotely control your computers from different locations. How cool is that?!

For this, even the absolute no degreed beginner qualifies. Using this as a starting point, however, an observant person should be able to determine that an infinite level of relative competence and mastery will reveal itself as the sincere seeker works at his trade. This is where the terms novice, beginner, adept, initiate, and master come from conceptually. With this thought in mind, it can be seen through the performance of a teacher whether she has achieved a particular level of mastery. Anyone who values the trade in question -in this case English language teaching- would likewise offer greater compensation for the master than the novice, right? Well apparently wrong outside of the Unites States and even (to a lesser degree) within the United States and herein lies a challenging problem for ESL professional. In Japan, for instance, it seems that a large number of employers are either unaware of or seek to avoid the distinction of a professional teacher vs. a professional tourist. The result is that the true professionals are lumped into the same category as the true beginners and the entire profession suffers from this gross undervaluing of its practitioners. This causes any product offered by those schools to be of low quality. Low quality courses result in low quality gains by students. These are circumstances that can only be perpetuated by the ignorant and unaware. The owners of schools for example who behave in this way are obviously only motivated by short term profits that benifit only them and no one else (a malady rampant in our primitive societies as they are currently constructed on this planet). This view is based on the idea that to share more with the teachers by way of compensation, and the students by way of quality instruction, the owners would end up getting less. This is the view of a being who does not understand the most basic concept of abundance: When you give more, you get more in return. When you withold, you get less. This is a demonstrable fact of life in any area or any vocation. If these schools think they are doing great with the current system of selfish enterprise that they scheme now, then they will be amazed at the abundance they can create if they actual begin to learn how to share the abundance they already have. Not only will they benifit more than now, but all who are involved including teachers and students will benifit as well. The entire profession will be elavated. But this post began as a statement regarding qualifications, so I shall continue in that vein. This controversy over degree or no degree, experience or no experience is generated primarily as a result of having an imperfect method of determining qualifications. To any observer, it should be noticed that the qualification for teaching English over seas is very low. In Japan it is appears to be a degree in any field and if Glenski's information is accurate, it is not really the schools that created such a standard, but the government of Japan. (Low standards for qualifications generally result in low compensation.) This standard is rather arbitrary and ultimately has very little to do with anyone's actual ability to teach English. If you feel you have qualifications, yet lack a degree, however, complaining about it won't help you or anyone else. Why not create a better system of evaluating a teacher's competence and begin to share that system with others. Clearly this one is flawed. Or, simply get a degree. Do something constuctive with your energy. This is your life right now. Live it. Make a statement. Stop imagining that you are powerless and begin to exercise your power to transform what isn't working in your world into what works. In regards to an actual degree related to teaching, certificates in ESL, and MA programs, however, even a modestly aware person should be able to see their value. Similarly, even the least observant person should be able to recognize the value of experience. But in order to truly understand the difference between what a degree offers and to compare that with what experience offers, one must be able to understand the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is information about something. Wisdom is knowledge applied. Degrees, in general, provide the opportunity for knowledge. Experience, in general, provides the opportunity for wisdom. I say opportunity because it is really up to the person going through a degree program or getting experience to actually pay attention to what's happening and get that knowledge or wisdom. A great many people decide that they already know everything and so fail to gain anything from either experience or a degree. Some people teach for years in the same way and remain average. Some people teach for years with awareness and intention and become exceptional. The best bet for anyone who is serious about being good at this is a combination of the two. This is because wisdom comes faster when there is more knowledge to apply to your teaching. For those who want a job without a degree, however, I suspect the great majority are not people who feel they are otherwise qualified and thus being excluded by an injust system. No, I feel that in most cases these people are exactly what they appear to be -simply unqualified. If you are one of those people I think you should know this. By seeking employment for a job for which you are unqualified, you contribute to the lowering of the standards of that profession and hurt those who do what they do sincerely and not simply as a means to an end. You disrespect the vocation of language teaching and you disrespect yourself. If you really care about what you are doing, you will not wonder why you should have a degree, you will get one because it will help you to improve your abilities. If you really care about what you do, you will do whatever it takes to do it well and benefit yourself, those around you, and the profession that you practice in itself. If you imagine that simply being a native speaker qualifies you to teach English, then you have revealed yourself as one who knows nothing about teaching. If you are a person with or without experience, with or without a degree who feels that he or she has figured it all out, then you have stopped progressing and you might as well remove all experience from the point that you made that decision forward from your resume because it means nothing.

I started out in this field because I wanted to travel and at the time I did not realize the fallacy of using language teaching as a means to an end. I did get a certification first, but the true realization that I had no clue what I was doing came thrugh teaching experience. I think that I had many qualities that helped me to be an adequate (at best) language teacher despite my lack of education in the field. However, without the theoretical knowledge of language instruction these qualities served little purpose becuse I could not support the pedogagical side of what I was doing in class. Now that I am nearly finished with my MA in TESOL I view the issue from the opposite side. Perhaps I am a hiporcrite, but I get angy with people who think that speaking a language entitles you to teach it becuse unqualified people reduce the professionalism of the field. Now that I am looking for a job I realize just how much the unqualified people in the field affect the opportunities that may otherwise be possible for those of us who take what we do seriously. To anyone who believes that speaking a languae is adequate training for teaching that language, I encourage you to look at any professional journal about second language acquisition or second language teaching. Just as in the case of any other profession there is a systematic, internal structure to the field of teaching languages.

But they are. It is true that if schools treat teachers better,they might attract better teachers,instead of some of the "teachers" they now attract.I agree with you on that one...although it is not a complete answer.For another thing...there needs to be a standardized set of requirements for teaching in this field.Don't ask me how to do that,though.It is an extremely complcated question,but one that needs to be addressed if this profession is ever going to get rid of some of the so called "teachers" out there. Back to top BertrandJoined: 02 Feb 2003Posts: 293 Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2003 4:17 am Post subject: some good points There are some good, valid points made here. In this regard, I think the only people who would argue that there is no or little difference between degree holders and non-degree holders is the latter party: the non-degree holders. Anyone who has been through the process knows that obtaining a degree is a tough, but valuable achievement. As regards the status of schools and their treatment and requirements of teachers, EF English First is the worst. They employ - quite openly - 'teachers' with no degrees (even their global academic operations manager does not have a first degree), no TEFL certificate, and no experience. They even employ non-native speakers as DOSs (!) Truly astonishing! This is why they have made themselves the MacDonalds of TEFL - a large chain of fast language outlets.

Lady Antebellum's 'Own the Night' Album Goes Platinum
After only four weeks on the shelves, Lady Antebellum's latest album, 'Own the Night,' has been certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of one million copies. The hit album has produced two smash singles, including the lead-off release and multi-week No. 1 'Just a Kiss' and their latest Top 10 song, 'We Owned the Night.'
The success of the two singles has helped the group sell a total of seven million albums worldwide to date. To keep the good news rolling in for Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley, they just picked up their third consecutive CMA Award earlier this week for Vocal Group of the Year.
"It's been a dizzying and exciting few months launching this album, but it's also really energizing to see how the fans are reacting to some of the songs on our new record," says Haywood, according to a press release. "The reaction both in the States and overseas has been a huge confidence booster as we are getting ready to launch our first big arena tour. We couldn't be more excited to get back out on the road!"
Next month, Lady A are nominated for Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group for the 2011 American Music Awards. The trio will also be honored as one of CMT's Artists of the Year in December. The first leg of their Own the Night 2011 Tour launches tonight (Nov. 11) in Knoxville, Tenn. Click here for a complete list of dates where the tour will be stopping.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 18, 2008) - ETSU men's soccer head coach Scott Calabrese announced the signing of three more players to the 2009 signing class Wednesday.
Joining Theo Yang (Lilburn, Ga.), Sam Bryan (Wirral England) and Ryan Campbell (Knoxville, Tenn.) in the 2009 signing class will be Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), Mohammad Bowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas).
Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) (6-1 Defender) (UAH/Baton Rouge Capitals PDL)
Guilherme Reis will attend ETSU after playing his freshman and sophomore years at the University of Alabama-Huntsville where he saw action in 36 games for the Chargers. In 2008, Reis also played for the Baton Rouge Capitals of the PDL (Premier Development League) where he started every game at center back. Prior to coming to the United States, Reis played at various levels in Brazil including Cruizero's youth teams and Club Atletico Mineiro. Reis was named all-state in 1999 and 2000. Reis plans on majoring in Business Management at ETSU.
Calabrese on Reis:
"Gui will provide us with stability and experience at the back. He reads the play and anticipates well, is technically good, solid in the air and in the tackle. We will look to Gui to organize our young defenders and provide leadership at the back. He will also have a positive effect on the players around him due to his maturity level on and off the field."
Mohammad Bowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) (5-8 Midfielder) (Karns HS/FC Alliance 92)
Bowers comes to ETSU from Karns High School in Knoxville, Tenn. where he was a four year letterwinner and garnered the honor of Rookie of the Year in 2006. Bowers was also named All-District in 2007 and team MVP in 2008. Bowers plays club soccer for FC Alliance, and has helped guide his team to back-to-back state championships as well as winning the prestigious Disney Showcase in 2008. Bowers is also a member of the Tennessee 91 ODP Team.
Calabrese on Bowers:
"Mohammad is an intelligent player who I felt went a little under the radar in the recruiting process. He has a great feel for the game, good technical ability and is very composed on the ball. With surprising pace and the willingness to graft and tackle, he understands the role and responsibilities of the holding midfielder and I believe will do well here at ETSU."
Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas) (5-10 Midfielder) (Lonestar U18 Academy)
Osorio joins ETSU after lettering four years at Lyndon B. Johnson High School in Austin, Texas. During his time at LBJ High School, Osorio has helped the team amass a 45-14 record earning the district title in 2008. Osorio was also named First-Team All-District in 2008. The Austin native plays club soccer for the Lonestar U18 Academy team under coach Bruce Talbot in the USSF Academy League. Osorio has also been a member of the 91 Region III Team as well as the South Texas 91 ODP Team. Osorio plans to major in Engineering Technology at ETSU.
Calabrese on Osorio:
"Alesi was a very highly sought after recruit and we are looking forward to him joining us in the fall. After playing with a very strong Lonestar academy team the transition to the college game should be seamless for Alesi. He is a player who reads and understands the game very well, has great vision and distribution as well as the ability to control and change the tempo of the game where needed."

Hundreds of supporters and opponents of shale-gas drilling are expected in the capital city Wednesday for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address, but a top aide to the governor signaled the hot topic would not be a part of the speech.
Howard Glaser, Cuomo's director of state operations, on Wednesday said Cuomo won't specifically address hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in his speech, though he will be discussing broader energy and environmental issues.
Cuomo's State of the State is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"It's not a part of the State of the State because it is under a review period," Glaser said on Talk1300 (WGDJ-AM) in Albany.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation first launched its review of high-volume hydrofracking in 2008 and a decision on whether to allow it in New York has remained on hold. In September, DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens asked the state Department of Health to identify outside consultants to assist with the review.
The DEC faces a Feb. 27 deadline to finalize proposed regulations for fracking or allow them to expire.
Folk singer Pete Seeger and singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant will take part in a rally against hydrofracking at noon, organizers said Wednesday. The Joint Landowners Coalition of New York, a pro-fracking group, said as many as 300 landowners will be in Albany for Cuomo's speech.

end to it. But there was one curious circumstance. I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. So had the child's family, which was only natural. But the doctor's case was what struck me. He was the usual cut and dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent and about as emotional as a bagpipe. Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw that Sawbones turn sick and white with desire to kill him. I knew what was in his mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best. We told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this as should make his name stink from one end of London to the other. If he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he should lose them. And all the time, as we were pitching it in red hot, we were keeping the women off him as best we could for they were as wild as harpies. I never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was th

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. London lawyer Utterson is driven to investigate Edward Hyde, the unlikely protégé of his friend Dr Henry Jekyll, suspecting the relationship to be founded on blackmail. The truth is worse than he could have imagined. Jekyll's 'full statement of the case', the final chapter of the book, explores the idea of dual personality that led him to his experiments, and his inexorable and finally fatal descent into evil.

Defining Moment is a beautiful and emotional sentimental piece that falls into the Cinematic / Romantic category. The gentle and elegant piano present a musical canvas on which the strings and, later, choirs paint gorgeous colors of emotional depth onto. The title captures the song's essence: a moment in time that defines all the rest of the moments experienced hereafter. It represents the beginning of the rest of your life. If you're looking for something overwhelmingly awe-inspiring with plenty of passion, hopeful optimism, and emotional depth, perhaps this is the song for you. I hope my songs present a helpful backdrop to the story you are telling by capturing the feeling you are trying to convey. Ratings and comments are much appreciated. Thanks for listening!
