This concept is simply called the ReadR
What differentiates the ReadR from other Readers is the fact that the human touch is brought back into the product.
It is a simple product with a flexible e-ink screen on the inside with capacitative touch technology and an OLED spine
The ReadR is weighted to feel like a real book. It's exterior is comprised of the traditional cardboard construction but with two differences - the exterior is essentially a plain white canvas with an OLED strip down the spine for displaying the book name and book graphics.
When using the book, the user puts his hand on the page ends and "flips" through by dragging his finger over the sides to replicate the page turning of a real book.
If you're reading the ReadR and you drop it, damage is virtually incurred on the page you were reading. When you've dropped the ReadR several times, pages will "fall out" of the book to simulate a real book experience. But of course you'll have the choice of reverting.
To turn the pages while reading, a user simply swipes his hand as if he were brushing the interior of the screen.
When purchasing a book, you recieve a Book Card which is essentially a card with a magnetic stripe that hold the data for your book. The rights are copied to your ReadR when swiped.
You can share books with friends by passing around the Book Card. When a friend swipes your card, you no longer have access to the book.
By having a simple eye tracker within the screen, reading on the bus will be a struggle no more. The tracker will see where your eye left off and highlight that word.
When you're reading the ReadR and come upon a quote that interests you, you can upload it to your social networking sites for all the world to see.

Pomme de Terre Wildlife Management Area is located off Louisiana Highway 451, six miles east of Moreauville in East Central Avoyelles Parish. Louisiana Highway 451 connects to Louisiana Highway 1 at Moreauville or Hamburg. Vehicular access is by gravel road at the southwest corner. Interior access by water is limited, however approximately 8 miles of ATV trails provides access to the majority of the area.
Pomme de Terre is 6,434 acres in size. The initial tract was purchased by the Department in November 1975. An additional 1372 acres was purchased in 1985, along with other acquisitions, including 180 acres in 1988.
The area is low and flat. Accumulated rainwater is collected in Sutton Lake and released by a water control structure. There are several low ridges running mainly east and west.
The overstory consists mostly of hackberry, locust, elm, ash, maple, and sweetgum; nuttall oaks and overcup oaks are scattered. Willow is dominant in the low lying areas, with cypress occurring toward the ridges. There are some boxelder and sycamore.
The understory consists of haws, deciduous holly, dogwood, elderberry and saplings of the overstory. Some of the other plants are poison ivy, peppervine, greenbrier, and blackberry. Open water and marshy areas, which comprise about 60 percent of the total area, contain water hyacinth, duckweed, lotus, cutgrass, frog?s-bit and buttonbush.
Game species hunted are good populations of deer, wild turkey, squirrels and rabbits, with adequate seasonal populations of waterfowl. Trapping for furbearers is allowed by permit only.
Sport fishing on the area is poor. Commercial fishing is allowed by permit. One improved ramp for boat launching exists.
One primitive camping area is presently available.
Further information can be obtained from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, 2628 Spring Bayou Road, Marksville, LA 71351. Phone (318) 253-7068.

Taking just one look at our outdoor heaters selection will show you there are dozens of possibilities to choose from. Each heater has practical features that make it suitable for one kind of outdoor environment or another.
Patio heaters come in a variety of styles including free-standing models that are capable of warming an area ranging between five and 10 feet from the place where the heater is positioned. These varieties tend to be less expensive than other styles. They are mostly suitable for patio and backyard use.
Wall mounted patio heaters are placed above the patio and can direct heat to a specific area. These are usually heavy-duty heaters that can be used in restaurants and during large outdoor parties. Some of the units are adaptable, which means that they can be used both indoor and outdoor.
If you don't have a wall for mounting purposes, you can opt for a pole-mounted heater. It comes with the characteristics of the traditional wall-mounted piece but the heater is pre-attached to a pole that can be positioned almost anywhere.
Finally, there are small tabletop heaters. This is the least expensive variety and is capable of heating a relatively small area. These will usually have to be secured to the table and individuals that want to feel the heat will have to be within several feet of the appliance.
On top of the variety of styles, there are also a number of fuel options for patio heaters. From electric heaters, to propane and natural gas heaters, you have plenty of options to find the perfect patio heater for your home. Luckily for you, the BBQ Depot has a large selection of appliances and the expertise to help you choose the right one for you. Browse through our selection and see what you like. If you have any questions, please give us a call. We're here to help!

carey needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 67 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Launching a print and web marketing company in Canada (eh!) and need a logo to complete some of the stationary, web page and other marketing communications.
http://www.goldfishmedia.ca (not posted yet)
I need a logo which may or may not incorporate the company name, I have a considerable creative writing background, but might be autistic instead of artistic - I can recognize great design work, but can't create it to save my life. The concept of Goldfish media is to help clients find the "fish in the bowl" and to "swim with the fish" - neither of which is a tag line, but the concept of the company.
I would like to stick with a goldfish orange colour for the logo. I don't have a tag-line yet...still working on one.

The PS4 and Xbox One Hardware Revealed, Console Makers Have Different Goals
Subject: General Tech | May 22, 2013 - 10:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xbox one, semi-custom business unit, ps4, microsoft, amd
Microsoft took the wraps off of its upcoming Xbox One console earlier this week, and it is now possible to compare Microsoft and Sony's next-generation hardware.
Prior to the Xbox One launch, Forbes contributor Paul Tassi postulated that Microsoft would be going a different route than Sony with its next Xbox. Specifically, that Microsoft would focus more on media playback and applications rather than purely gaming (unlike Sony, which is doing the opposite). At the time, I found myself agreeing with his sentiment, and now that the console as launched I believe Mr. Tassi was absolutely correct. Microsoft wants the Xbox One to be the center of your living room and the device you use for all of your media (and gaming) needs. The new console integrates the Windows kernel and can do multitasking of applications and media in a Metro-UI like fashion (2/3, 1/3 split screen).
On the other hand, Sony is positioning its console as the best gaming device for the living room, and is focusing on integrating all things gaming with media as more of an afterthought. Like previous PlayStation consoles, it will likely play back media files and Blu-ray movies just fine, but it is a gaming box at its core.
Interestingly, the hardware that both companies have chosen seems to line up nicely with those goals. Both the Xbox One and PS4 are based around a semi-custom AMD APU with eight Jaguar CPU cores, but they have gone in different directions from there.
PlayStation 4 hardware:
As a refresher, Sony's PS4 has the following hardware specifications.
- CPU: Eight core AMD "Jaguar" CPU
- GPU: AMD GCN GPU with 1152 shader units (in 18 CUs)
- Memory: 8GB of GDDR5 clocked at 5500MHz
- HDD: At least a spindle hard drive
- Bandwidth: 176 GB/s
Sony has changed directions from the PS3 by going with a simpler design that provides more graphical horsepower and higher system memory bandwidth versus the Xbox One. The PS4 uses a semi-custom AMD chip that has saved Sony a great deal of R&D money while also being easier for developers as it is that much closer to a traditional PC with its x86-64 APU (GDDR5 memory is unusual though). The PS4 is aimed at gamers and Sony's choice of hardware and memory reflects that.
Xbox One hardware:
Microsoft was not as forthcoming as Sony as far as touting specific hardware specifications, but based on the announcement and additional information acquired by AnandTech, the Xbox One features the following hardware:
- CPU: Eight core AMD "Jaguar" CPU
- GPU: AMD GCN GPU with 768 shader cores (within 12 Compute Units)
- Memory: 8GB of DDR3 system memory at 2133MHz as well as 32MB of on-chip eSRAM
- DDR3 Memory Bandwidth: 68.3 GB/s
- eSRAM Memory Bandwidth: 102GB/s
Microsoft took a different approach with the Xbox One. Instead of going for DDR5 like Sony did, Microsoft opted for a hybrid approach that uses a small but high-bandwidth and low latency embedded SRAM on the same chip as the CPU and GPU paired with a larger 8GB of traditional PC DDR3 system memory. This approach is interesting because it gives Microsoft a system that has access to low latency memory at the expense of the higher bandwidth that the PS4 enjoys with its single pool of DDR5 memory. Developers will need to become familiar with the embedded RAM to take full advantage of the latency benefits, however.
These hardware choices work out such that the PS4 has a distinct advantage when it comes to gaming performance. It has more GPU horsepower and high-bandwidth memory for feeding the processor high resolution textures. On the other hand, while Microsoft's console still has a respectable GPU (for a console), it seems to be optimized for lower latency memory access and just enough graphics oomph to enable the company to have a multimedia and home entertainment machine that can run multiple applications simultaneously while also satisfying gamers by giving them a decent graphical upgrade over the Xbox 360 for games.
This next generation of consoles should be interesting, as will the ensuing "flame wars" between fans. Both Microsoft and Sony have learned from the past (current) generation of consoles and are focusing on what they are good at to differentiate themselves. Microsoft is tapping into its Windows ecosystem of PCs and mobile devices and providing an app machine that the company hopes will be the hub of your living room entertainment needs. Sony, who does not have that expertise or existing infrastructure is also focusing in on what it excels at and that is gaming.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the consoles co-exist and how the market shakes out over 2014 and into the future as the hardware stays the same but software changes. Sony definitely has the hardware advantage to stay in the game longer when it comes to games and graphics, but Microsoft has a box that can do more than games and can find purchase in your media rack even after it is surpassed in gaming graphics quality by PCs and the competition.
What do you think about the split between the Xbox One and PS4's hardware?
Sony Profitable, Expects Its PlayStation 4 Launch to Keep It That Way
Subject: General Tech | May 13, 2013 - 11:37 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sony, semi-custom business unit, ps4, gaming, financial report, amd
Sony, a company with an annual profit of 436 billion Yen ($458 million USD) in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 saw PS3 and PS2 sales decline and a slight bump up in PSP and PS Vita sales. In a recent earnings call covered by Euro Gamer, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Masaru Kato stated that the company expects this year to be even better with the launch of its upcoming PlayStation 4 console. Sony does not believe it will incur any significant losses with the PS4 and that sales will "increase significantly." Unlike the PS3 which used a Cell chip that was expensive to develop, the PlayStation 4 uses mostly-traditional PC hardware. With the upcoming console, AMD did the majority of the development legwork which saved Sony money. As a result, Sony believes that the PS4 will turn a profit much faster than it took the PS3.
Looking into Sony's next fiscal year ending March 2014, the company is putting a renewed focus on smartphones and smart TVs. In the previous year, Sony saw combined PS3 and PS2 sales decline to $16.5 million from $18 million the prior year. Sony expects to sell approximately $10 million worth of PS3s in the upcoming fiscal year. While the company's PS2 console had a wild ride, it is no longer included in the company's sales forecast. Sales of Sony's mobile PSP and PS Vita gaming consoles are expected to decrease to a mere $5 million as well. Basically, Sony has a lot riding on its PlayStation 4 console. It expects to see its next-generation console make up for the decreased sales of its existing hardware.
Either way, a profitable Sony is a good thing, and I hope that the upcoming console is priced to sell while also resulting in a tidy profit for the company. I expect the Xbox-PS3-PC gamer flame-war to be especially entertaining this year, as the consoles are essentially using lower-end PC hardware (heh) and the two consoles specs are more-similar than ever.

NDMG needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 27 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
A Cartoon to be posted on top of an article and advertisement flyers
National Design and Marketing Group
Basically call it a cartoon piece or characature with a huge pink elephant arrogantly lounging on a couch in a Senior Citizen's living room- maybe even smashing the end of it through the floor- while a senior citizen is struggling on the other end of the couch afraid of the elephant. The elephant represents Senior Health Care costs and is eating bags of peanuts labeled "Grandkid's college tuition" and "Children's Inheritance". If there is room, maybe have a TV in the living room with a headline of "Government Raises Taxes" - or that could be on a newspaper that the senior was reading but dropped in fear of the elephant.
This is going to be put on an article and on advertising flyers. It is for an insurance product that protects senior's money from taxes and health care costs.

Can Senator Leahy Actually Get Anything Done To Help With Civil Liberties And Innovation?
from the weakest-'powerful'-senator deptSenator Patrick Leahy is often considered one of the most powerful Senators. He's the most senior Senator, third in the presidential line of succession (after the VP and the Speaker of the House) and the head of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee. He's often presented as a "friend" to both the technology and civil liberties communities -- even though many in both of those communities still view him skeptically for his all out support for dangerous copyright legislation in the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), which would have seriously messed with the underlying DNS structure of the internet. Even so, on a variety of other issues, including NSA reform, ECPA reform and patent reform, he's often been seen as leading the charge.
But over and over again, it seems that charge is... to go nowhere.
Politico has a story about how last week was a disaster for the tech industry in Washington DC. For all the talk about how Silicon Valley has been flexing its lobbying power, patent reform was killed, a good NSA reform bill was replaced with a bad one (leading the tech industry to pull its support) and the fight for immigration reform went the way it normally does -- nowhere beyond people yelling at each other.
But what I found even more interesting is just how powerless the "powerful" Senator seems to be on so many of these issues. Leahy has been the leading Senate voice for ECPA reform (requiring a warrant to search your electronic data) for years -- and it has pretty widespread support. And yet, he's unable to get it to move forward because the the SEC and IRS want to be able to read emails without a warrant. Really?
Similarly, for over a decade, Leahy has been the point person on patent reform in the Senate, promising to finally reform the system to stop abusive patents. The bill he finally got through in 2011 did absolutely nothing after it was watered down and watered down and watered down some more. And this year, when it looked like there might finally be a bill with at least a little (not nearly enough) progress towards stifling abusive patent practices, he got completely shut down by the trial lawyers and Harry Reid.
And, now we're basically relying on Senator Leahy to fix the NSA reform package. He introduced the companion to the USA Freedom Act in the Senate, and many in the tech and civil liberties communities are hopeful that Leahy will stand firm in actually reforming the NSA. And while he's been saying all the right things about reforming the NSA, given his track record, you have to start to wonder: can this super powerful Senator actually get this done right?
Yes, getting anything done in Congress is a pretty difficult process these days (perhaps for good reason). But we keep hearing about how Senator Leahy is so powerful and such a friend to innovation and civil liberties. But over the past few years, it's been a lot of tough talk, and nothing ever seems to actually get done. It really begins to make you wonder if he's such a "friend" to these communities after all.

This great intersection is the meeting point of the two busiest streets,
the Processional and Craftmans Way. The Processional runs the length of
the city north to south, while Craftsmans Way leads east and west to the
Druid and Marsh Gates. Craftmans Way is lined with shops full of plenty
of supplies and goods for travel. The area is very spread out to let an
overflow of traffic keep moving in each direction. At the center of the
intersection stands a grand statue topped with a hawk. The Processional
leads north to the Fountain of Greyhawk, and south into the Low Market.

Rex Ryan on Monday clarified the comments he recently made about wide receiver Stephen Hill, which appeared to suggest that the New York Jets coach was not on board with drafting the rookie from Georgia Tech.
"What I was kidding was, like 'Oh man, we're going to take a wide receiver,' like he's not my pick," said Ryan, referring to his quotes in a piece by Don Banks of Sports Illustrated. "I love the fact that I'm always trying to convince (the media) that he is my pick. He's definitely my pick now, because I think he is going to have a really bright future."
In the SI story, Ryan was quoted as saying: "Well, nothing told me he would (contribute). Nothing. When I saw the tape (of his collegiate play) I was concerned. But (Jets general manager) Mike Tannenbaum and (senior personnel executive) Terry Brady and all our scouts were adamant about this guy."
Ryan explained he was trying to praise the scouting department, while proving the point that Hill has exceeded his expectations.
Banks on Sunday cleared up some of the confusion over the quotes, saying on Twitter that during their conversation it was "Rex being Rex, tongue-in-cheek."
UPDATE: Hill took no offense to Ryan's comments, saying Monday that he knew his coach was joking.
"I honestly heard about it maybe 10 minutes ago," Hill said in quotes released by the Jets. "Coach Rex Ryan, I understand, is a defensive coach, but I know he was definitely (joking) about the situation. Honestly, I'm just ready to play on Sunday, that's my biggest focus."

Every weekday morning, parents and volunteers, wearing bright yellow shirts and neon jerseys, join with police to accompany up to two dozen students from ABLA Homes, a Chicago public housing project, to the Richard T. Crane Technical Preparatory Common School two miles away. In the afternoon, they make the return trip, including the ride on the city bus.
The reason? In March, a shooting near the school left a student dead and others fearing retaliation. "You got to do what you can to stop the violence," says Deverra Beverly, president of ABLA's advisory council and an activist who helped conceive of the escort, dubbed Operation Safe Passage.
The effort from this West Side Chicago neighborhood is one of the most organized community responses to a spate of violence that has engulfed schoolchildren and galvanized the city. Since the start of the school year, 24 public school students in Chicago have been killed – a classroom's worth of kids, as many local editorials have noted; 21 of them were shooting victims. While the numbers don't represent a big rise from the past few years, the violence is worse than a decade ago and grabbed the city's attention.
At one point, the Chicago Sun-Times printed its front page in reverse, including the newspaper's name – an attention-grabbing tactic to, it said, "say to our fellow Chicagoans ... that turning our back on the violence killing our young people will not make it disappear."
Rallies have been held downtown, ministers have taken up the cause, and Mayor Richard Daley has pushed gun-control legislation, summer jobs, and new research on preventing youth violence.
"We have to start talking about this as a crisis or people will shrug it off and take it as an accepted part of growing up in certain neighborhoods," says Michael Vaughn, a spokesman for the Chicago Public Schools. Even though most of the violence happens off school grounds, says Mr. Vaughn, it has an enormous effect on students' education and ability to focus on learning. "We want to raise awareness of the fact that our students have to deal with guns and gang violence far too much in their lives."
The victims this year have included a 10-year-old who wanted to a preacher, older teenagers, innocent bystanders, and gang members. On one particularly violent weekend this spring, seven public school students were shot, two of them fatally.
The shooting at Crane occurred in early March, just minutes after school let out and less than a block from the school. Ruben Ivy, a junior, was shot and killed – allegedly by a student from ABLA, which is being transformed from a public housing project into a mixed-income community. Within minutes of the shooting, two other Crane students were brutally attacked, one hit in the head with a golf club and another beaten so badly he suffered a seizure.
Part of the issue at Crane is the population of students from multiple neighborhoods and rival gang areas. The day of the shooting, a fight had apparently broken out in the morning at school, and the violence that followed the closing bell may simply have been an escalation of tensions that were simmering all day.
"Something has changed in the way teenagers are resolving conflict," says Monique Bond, a spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department, adding that cities around the country are taking note of the phenomenon. "It used to be fistfights and arguments, but conflict resolution with this generation is completely different."
That attitude, in which an argument over a hat or an insult can quickly escalate to guns and killings, is at the heart of the issue, say some experts, and any solutions need to try to address it.
"If you haven't taken a gun out of somebody's hand, if you don't have a relationship with them, then you can't parachute in to tell them to put that gun down," says Tio Hardiman, the director of mediation services for CeaseFire, a Chicago gang-intervention organization. Mr. Hardiman recently ran a conflict-management session at Crane in which he talked with key students from ABLA and rival neighborhoods. They used role-play and other techniques to get at other ways students can respond to perceived slights and smaller arguments so that, "if someone bumps you, you don't have to respond with escalation," says Hardiman.
He spoke with the students about identifying "thinkers" in each crowd so that, if another incident happens, they can reach out to CeaseFire's staff for help in stopping it before it gets out of hand.
For now, the city and police are taking other steps to try and both prevent youth violence and to be there to respond when it occurs. The city is increasing its summer jobs and recreational and educational programs to serve 280,000 students this summer in an effort to keep them occupied and off the streets. The police department has moved its youth curfew earlier, to 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on weekends, and is stepping up enforcement. Police have targeted some of the most troubled schools and make sure students are present at arrival and dismissal.
At Crane, Ms. Beverly says the escort will continue at least through the end of the school year, even though fears of retaliation for the March shooting have died down.
"You have to always think about everything, you don't know what could happen, in school or outside school," says Daquator Lane, a Crane senior who plans to go to college next year to study criminal justice. "We don't know if we're safe or not, but you just have to keep going to school like normal."

The worst thing about "Afternoon Delight," Jill Soloway's feature directorial debut, is its title: Does anyone want, or need, to be reminded of the Starland Vocal Band's one-shot 1976 hit?
Once you get past that easily surmountable bump, there is much to recommend Soloway's portrait of social unease among post-millennial yuppies. Our heroine is Rachel (Kathryn Hahn), a married, middle-class (or upper middle-class) woman in her 30s, whose life is clouded by an itch she can't locate, let alone scratch — a general sense of boredom or disappointment with her life, with most of the focus on her marriage.
Husband Jeff (Josh Radnor) is no wife-beater; he's a wholly nice guy who's wrapped up in his work and who is no longer responsive to Rachel's amorous advances. His business seems to provide him sufficient satisfaction, but Rachel has no outside work of her own. She hangs out with a group of female friends. The group seems to exist in a bubble imported from the 1950s; they come across as "club ladies," gossiping while sipping a tasty beverage and spending their energy on charitable community projects.
Then, in comes the disrupting figure — McKenna (Juno Temple), who gives Rachel a lap dance one night when she and Jeff are trying to perk things up by going to a strip club. The experience gets under Rachel's skin to such a degree that she arranges to "bump into" McKenna during the daytime. They become friends, so when McKenna loses her apartment, Rachel invites her to crash at her house. Awkward ups and downs ensue, particularly when Rachel and Jeff learn that McKenna is not just a stripper but also a sex worker, a professional that they refer to in ruder, less flattering ways.
The effect of an outsider on a community or home is nothing new in cinema: The granddaddy of them all is Jean Renoir's 1932 masterpiece, "Boudu Saved from Drowning."
Like many of its forebears, "Afternoon Delight" at first shows that the escort and the "respectable" family have more in common than they thought. But inevitably the focus moves to where they conflict. Both sides behave well; both behave badly.
Although Hahn gets to convey reactions of greater subtlety and ambivalence, it's Temple's performance that gives the film its spark. You're likeliest to have seen her briefly as Anne Hathaway's sidekick in "The Dark Knight Rises" or in a much beefier role in William Friedkin's "Killer Joe." The daughter of director Julien Temple, she's been in about 30 films since her 2006 debut in "Notes on a Scandal," including "Kaboom," "Atonement," "Mr. Nobody," "Greenberg" and "Lovelace." She's perfect here because of the tension between her sexiness and her childlike, kewpie-doll face. No depravity could completely neutralize her air of innocence.
Perhaps Soloway's biggest accomplishment is to neither indict nor give total absolution to anyone. Like most films with this plot hook, it first takes shots at the bourgeoisie; but by the end, no one is a saint or a devil.
ANDY KLEIN is the film critic for Marquee. He can also be heard on "FilmWeek" on KPCC-FM (89.3).

We all know what we're talking about. Dirty books are fun. It's simply a matter of
freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution,
--Tom Lehrer, That Was the Year That Was
It seems as though every time a new medium is invented people make the
horrifying discovery that it's used for sex. Centuries-old orally transmitted bawdy
ballads and poetry, printed books, magazines, photographs, movies, videotape
recordings, floppy disks, bulletin board systems (BBSs), CD-ROM, cable TV, and
now the Internet: the news that humans are interested, even pruriently interested,
in sex should be nothing new.
(Did you turn to this chapter first? You pervert.)
Yet we keep replaying this same Puritanical panic that the new medium will
deprave and corrupt in new and dangerous ways, even though it's arguable that
real-life developments--such as the ready availability of reliable contraception, or
an unpopular war inspiring a period of social rebellion and insecurity--have a
bigger effect on people's behavior. If, as John Gilmore has so famously remarked,
the Net perceives censorship as damage and routes around it, something similar
can be said about sex: sex perceives regulation as a dam and diverts into new
Most, if not all, of the concern about pornography on the Net is coming from people
who are not online but have seen press or police reports, which typically focus on
the worst the Net has to offer. It often seems as though the dark side of online is all
anyone writes about. One estimate, provided by the electronic newsletter Media
Poll and based on database searches of the top fifty U.S. newspapers, showed that
from 1993 (that is, before the Web) to 1996, a little over 10 percent of all press
reports about the Internet mentioned at least one of the words sex, terrorism,
censorship, or pornography. On the assumption that some of these stories might
not focus on the Net, Media Poll then eliminated all the articles except those that
had the words Internet or World-Wide Web in the headlines; doing that raised the
percentages to slightly over 15 percent.[1]
This particular round of panic has unusual resonance with debates in society at
large because the definition of acceptable treatment of women (as well as many
other groups) has changed dramatically in the closing decades of the twentieth
century. New concepts such as date rape and sexual harassment have altered the
landscape since the 1970s, when the keynotes of the feminist movement were
equal rights, equal work, and equal pay. The basic unit of communication on the
Net in early 1997, barring some graphics and audio, is the word. We are used to
thinking of words by themselves as harmless, as in the familiar childhood rhyme:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." But a
significant line of feminist campaigning equates words with actions and condemns
all pornography as a power play designed to keep women in their place as second-class citizens.
Catharine MacKinnon is a good example to cite: "On the assumption that words
have only a referential relation to reality, pornography is defended as only words--even when it is pictures women had to be directly used to make, even when the
means of writing are women's bodies, even when a woman is destroyed in order to
say it or show it or because it was said or shown."[2] But MacKinnon
makes little distinction between textual fantasies that don't involve a woman at all
and pictures that do.
MacKinnon is not alone. At an international conference held in London on February
13-14, 1997, to discuss means for policing the Internet, human rights campaigner
and University of Rhode Island psychology professor Donna Hughes made it plain
that she favors tighter regulations, not just of the Net but of all media, to end
international exploitation of and trafficking in women. Her exhibit A: a Web site
offering Russian brides for sale and another offering sex tours to the Far East. Yet
these are not problems that can be solved by regulating the Internet. These are
businesses that must be tackled by the relevant law enforcement organizations,

Dr. Richard Burgess, a member of Dr. Warach's stroke team, explained the situation: There is no particular penalty for not giving tPA. Doctors are unlikely to be sued if the patient dies or is left with brain damage that could have been avoided. But there is a penalty for giving tPA to someone who is not having a stroke. If that patient bleeds into the brain, the drug not only caused a tragic outcome but the doctor could also be sued. Few emergency room doctors want to take that chance.
Through several dramatic stroke anecdotes the piece, with little apparent regard for perspective or accuracy, paints tPA as some sort of miracle drug. Here are some of the distortions.
Doctors are therefore reluctant to give the only drug shown to make a real difference, tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator. The only drug shown to make a real difference? Wrong. Aspirin is associated with improved outcomes and reduced mortality in the first few weeks. This, in fact, is more than can be said for tPA, which does not reduce mortality.
Although tPA was shown in 1996 to save lives and prevent brain damage… Since the article contains no citations to back up its assertions I can only guess that this statement refers to the NINDS study, even though that study was published in 1995, not 1996. The study, the only large randomized trial to show benefit from tPA, showed no statistically significant reduction in mortality. The title of the NYT piece, Lost Chances for Survival, Before and After Stroke, also deceptively implies that tPA is life saving.
Concerning the evaluation of patients for tPA treatment, the article says Many hospitals say they cannot afford to have neurologists on call to diagnose strokes, and cannot afford to have M.R.I. scanners, the most accurate way to diagnose strokes, for the emergency room. Nonsense. The widely accepted guidelines for the use of tPA, which are based on clinical assessment and CT imaging, mention no role for MRI scans.
There's more. Although the New York Times is widely regarded as a reputable source of medical news this particular NYT piece is yet another example of how scientific issues are distorted when discussed in popular media.

The airliner is a wide-body twin engine jet that is one of the most advanced jetliners in the air today. The 777 can even fly on just one engine for more than three hours over water - a feature that likely came in handy today.
An FAA official told NBC News the pilot declared an emergency due to a vibration in its right engine, and landed on the runway in Hawaii without incident or injury. Further reports say the engine did not appear to have come apart, and was operating normally - without the casing.
FlightRadar24 records the flight taking off from San Francisco just after 9 a.m. and landing in Hawaii around 2:42 PST.

Pac-12 M5: 10.22.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on October 22nd, 2012
- We're still three weeks out from actual basketball games taking place, but more and more it is starting to feel like this is just not going to be UCLA's year. Aside from the NCAA investigations into recruits Shabazz Muhammad and Kyle Anderson, the cheap accusations of cheating by certain unnamed media outlets, and the legitimate questions about how some of these pieces fit together, the Bruins are also starting to see some injuries accrue. The newest Bruin laid up is junior forward David Wear, who sprained his right ankle in a practice yesterday, joining junior guard Tyler Lamb (arthroscopic knee surgery) in the infirmary. Of course, the glass-half-full view of this situation could be that it is much better to have these types of things happen now than in February or March. As it is, a simple sprained ankle could just mean a bit of a rest for Wear until the seasons kicks off on November 9.
- It didn't take long for the newest Cougar, Oregon-transfer Brett Kingma, to pick up on how things are done in the Washington State basketball program; early Saturday morning, the sophomore guard was arrested by Pullman police for marijuana possession and "minor exhibiting the effects of having consumed alcohol in a public place" – an oddly specific and yet still confusing charge. Now, we understand there isn't always a whole lot to do in Pullman, but the marijuana busts for WSU's basketball program are getting ridiculous. In recent years, off the top of my head, Klay Thompson, Reggie Moore and DeAngelo Casto have all been busted for pot. There are two ways for Cougar head coach Ken Bone to deal with this: (1) mostly ignore, offer an obligatory slap on the wrist and pray that Initiative 502 passes, or (2) make an example of Kingma by kicking him off the team. I'm certainly not saying the second option is necessarily the best approach, after all, really what is this arrest about – a college kid was walking home drunk after a Friday night partying and happened to have some dope on him. Stop the presses, right? But the fact of the matter is, this constantly happening in Bone's program is becoming a black eye.
- Arizona unveiled the 2012-13 version of its basketball team to its fans on Sunday afternoon with their annual Red-Blue game. Prior to an intrasquad scrimmage, the school honored its 1988 Final Four team and members of the current team got to meet and learn from previous Wildcat greats like Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr and Jud Buechler. The game itself was less of a no-defense All-Star game than a hard-fought scrimmage, but Nick Johnson (who our own Parker Baruh nominated as the Pac-12's breakout player) got hot, hitting four threes and finishing with 20 points to lead all scorers while also chipping in four assists. New Wildcat point guard Mark Lyons also added four assists, while senior wing Kevin Parrom added four three-pointers of his own. Arizona Desert Swarm has some video highlights of the game and the surrounding festivities. But perhaps the biggest part of the day was UA hosting at least eight recruits, including Aaron Gordon, whom Sean Miller (and other coaches around the country) seriously covet. Given that the 2011 version of the Red-Blue game helped the 'Cats land Kaleb Tarczewski, the game is becoming a way of tying the great history of the program to its bright future.
- Arizona wasn't the only school holding events for their fans this weekend. Stanford held its Friday Frenzy event on, when else, Friday evening, featuring its annual Cardinal-White scrimmage, a dunk contest, and various other events. Oddly enough, the winner of the dunk contest wasn't even a member of the basketball team, as senior All-American high jumper Jules Sharpe took home the title, edging out junior forward Josh Huestis. As for the scrimmage, junior forward Dwight Powell (our Kevin Danna's pick for the Pac-12 breakout player) led all scorers with 19 points, getting it done not only from the perimeter but also on the block. It was sophomore guard Chasson Randle, who had 16 points on seven-for-nine shooting, however, who had the last laugh, leading his Cardinal team to an eight-point win over Powell's White squad.
- Lastly, Arizona State's Maroon-Gold scrimmage was Saturday afternoon, giving Sun Devil fans their first chance to see the long-awaited debut of freshman point guard Jahii Carson. Early reports are that, behind Carson, ASU looks like it may live up to Herb Sendek's promises of a drastically increased tempo. Carson led all scorers with 18 points in the game, while newly eligible transfer Evan Gordon also impressed. The game featured three different 10-minute periods, with Carson splitting time on each team over the course of the scrimmage, but one good takeaway for how important he'll be to ASU is the fact that whichever team he was on wound up winning each of the three different periods.

This was MPact's third year at the Camden Yards sports complex in Baltimore, MD, which provides a great backdrop for this growing event.
MPact East is a festival for owners of BMWs specifically but also exotic car drivers in general, with everybody welcomes from across the East Coast.
This year, there appeared to be far more cars in the main Show area, but we were also happy to see a bigger contingent taking part in the autocross as well.
As before, there was a good gathering of vendors in attendance, including sponsor SlipStreamRE, ProTuning Freaks, Liqui-Moly and AutoCouture Motoring. The latter exhibited a number of their famous BMW builds from the New Jersey workshops, and certainly drew a great deal of attention.

Best pet food
20th August 2010, 07:50 PM
I use a special food for Ella that I have to get through her vet but it is expensive. Can you recommend any food that is good for our dogs
Brian M
20th August 2010, 08:56 PM
Hi Annie
Have you ever thought about raw ie ckicken wings ,lamb breast etc ,I thought my four never would and they did all very easily and all love it and I am sure it is cheaper though I do buy steak sometimes and ask for it to be minced as I can see how much fat is there before mincing , and now we would never ever go back and I enjoy preparing their meals.:)
Have a look at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/RawMeatyBones/
20th August 2010, 09:11 PM
I think foods are a pretty subjective topic and most decent foods are going to be in the medium to upepr price range. They can also vary quite a bit from country to country. If you do a search you will likely come up with many previous discussions too that might be helpful as you consider options. :)
If you consider raw bones (as opposed to raw meat with ground bone), do be aware that there are risks -- despite what the websites and ardent pro raw feeders insist (it is almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion about the risks of raw feeding because people feel so passionately about this). Last time I visited a vet friend in the UK she was deeply distressed because a large breed dog and longtime client fed by its experienced owner on raw, meaty bones and raw diet generally had a ripped colon due to a raw bone and was in severe pain and the practice had accepted was not going to survive. So please, weigh up the benefits v the risks. I know of more than one dog that has died from having its colon or rectum ruptured by a raw undigested bone and have seen my own dogs vomit up large raw bone shards from chicken wings up to 10 hours later (I saved one of the pieces as evidence of how risky those bone pieces can be). It is a slow and painful death if they get an internal tear to the bowel or stomach. :(
20th August 2010, 09:17 PM
This is quite a good balanced article on pros and cons of feeding raw diets to dogs:
20th August 2010, 09:24 PM
If you are looking into feeding raw, a safe alternative is something like The Honest Kitchen's Preference which has all the raw fruits and veggies, you just supply the meat (I used cooked ground turkey).
I'm moving away from that, back to kibble for convenience. I'll be feeding Natural Balance Duck and Potato. Several high-end brands have given Guinness terrible gas, so there's a lot of trial and error before choosing a food.
20th August 2010, 10:40 PM
I used to prepare a raw fod breakfast and dinner fresh everyday. I now use Darlings, they are a small company who provide a tailor made diet for each dog http://www.darlingsrealdogfood.com/ I have to say it has taken a lot of pressure of me having someone else doing the hard work. We still give our dogs RAW wings but we always chop them up because I have heard some terrible stories where dogs have swallowed them whole with dreadful consequences. Plus Molly scoffed one whole, fortunately it came straight back up, it didn't half make me panic :yikes
I am sure it is thanks to this food that Dotty has a fabulous shiny coat with good healthy skin. My Vet could not believe the difference in her.
This doesn't help you much Annie as Darlings wouldn't ship to the US but it is an idea to consider.
Cathy T
21st August 2010, 01:19 AM
There are lots of great high quality kibble available out there.....or maybe try the Honest Kitchen like Soushiruiuma was using, it's a great alternative to raw. What kind of special food was Ella being fed? What was it for? I feed raw but don't feed raw bones. I have two gulpers and just won't risk it. They have plenty of other things they eat that "exercise" their mouth and scrape their teeth.....raw carrots, chew toys, kongs, nylabones, etc.
23rd August 2010, 11:38 AM
I use a mix of 3 foods (this might make me sound like a crazy!)
Cava wont eat the same food - fussy madam she is so i have to mix it up.
I buy 1 bag of Royal Canin puppy & 1 bag of Royal Canin for Cavaliers (small bags about 12/15 each) and 1 medium bag of branded kibble (usually 20). I buy different flavours and mix them all together in a large tub. Means they are getting goodness from the 3 different foods.Usually get 2 months out of it all, so spending about 60 is ok. I dont buy Pedigree or Brandy, or department stores brand - ive heard these arent good for your doggies.
If im cooking veg i will always make them a little bit, they love carrotts. Small pieces of chicken/mince for treats. Never anything with bones, as previously said.

Clarice Smith Powers
While visiting one of her beloved lighthouses with a group of friends, our mother, Clarice Smith Powers, fell (at ground level), hit her head and went Home to be with the Lord. Waiting for her there, since November of 1991, was her husband, James Powers.
Mom is survived by six children: Jacqueline Bell of Henderson, NV; Patricia (& George) Ratcliff of Lancaster, CA; Robert (& Kerry) Bell of Sun Valley, CA; Miriam Surface of Clinton, WA; Ralph (& Mary) Powers of Camano Island, WA and Deborah (& Jeff) Keenan of Seattle, WA. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. "Great-Grandma" was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new set of twins, due in July.
Mom had many interests: traveling to visit family and friends, volunteering in the Verdugo Hills Hospital Physical Therapy Dept., ringing bells with the Carillons Choir at the First United Methodist Church in Glendale, watching grandsons in swim competitions, being involved with the Seniors Sunday School classes at two churches and much more.
Mom was born on October 3, 1927 to Clair and Verda Smith in Viola, MN. She passed away on May 13, 2011, in Washington, D.C. at the age of 83.
Mom worked as the Crescenta Valley High School "Student Store Lady" from 1965-1977. Marrying the love of her life, James Powers, in 1967, the two of them retired to Clinton, WA in 1977. She was the wedding coordinator at her church in Langley, WA and sang in both the Church choir and community chorale. Mom returned to reside in Glendale in 2003.

Helen Clark visits UAENov 6, 2013
The Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Helen Clark, just completed a three day visit to the United Arab Emirates focused on UAE's work on sustainable development and climate change, development co-operation, and logistical support to facilitate humanitarian efforts.
In Abu Dhabi, Clark met with the Ministers of International Co-operation and Development, the Minister of Culture, Youth, and Community Development, and the Minister of State and head of "Masdar City" Dr. Al Jaber. Masdar is an innovative, large-scale, clean technology cluster, housing research, innovation, company headquarters, and education provision.
The Minister of International Co-operation and Development, H.E. Sheikha Lubna, outlined her hopes for her new ministry. Helen Clark noted UAE's commitment, contributions and leadership in humanitarian aid and development. She underlined UNDP's readiness to work jointly with the UAE in effective aid delivery.
During her meeting with H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development, they discussed UAE's intention to have a national youth strategy and UNDP's willingness to be a partner in its development.
After meeting with H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber at Masdar City, Helen Clark toured a number of Masdar's creatively designed, energy-saving buildings and facilities. Established in 2006, Masdar is actively piloting renewable energy and clean technology solutions in material recycling, construction building, and transportation. A commercially-driven enterprise, Masdar is striving to attract technical talent, investment, and entrepreneurship in the renewable energy and clean technologies sectors. It is forecast to host 40,000 residents and 50,000 commuters by its completion date of 2025.
In Dubai, H.E. Saeed al Tayer, Vice Chair of the Supreme Council of Energy briefed Helen Clark on Dubai's progress towards achieving its goal of reducing its carbon emissions by thirty per cent by 2030, in line with Dubai's integrated energy strategy 2030. The Emirate is striving to reach this goal through retrofitting 30,000 existing buildings; applying international codes of green building in all new construction (achieving about forty per cent energy savings); and employing a range of new energy-saving technologies, including a smart grid with time-use tariffs, and line-loss reduction.
Dubai's interest in scaling up the use of clean energy is detailed in the "State of Energy Report, Dubai 2014", produced jointly by the Dubai Supreme Council for Energy and the Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence (DCCE), and UNDP which was launched on 22 October. DCCE came into being as a direct result of partnership between UNDP and the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy.
"Clean energy is key in our fight against global warming," stressed Helen Clark. "Innovative solutions which reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like those I saw in UAE lay the foundations for sustainable development."
In Dubai's International Humanitarian City (IHC), the Administrator saw the humanitarian supplies destined to meet the needs of refugees and displaced peoples in Syria and elsewhere. The UN's refugee agency and the World Food Programme have major warehouse facilities there. IHC is one of the world's largest and busiest logistics hubs for humanitarian aid, with nine UN agencies and nearly fifty NGOs and commercial entities using the facility.
Helen Clark noted the emerging consensus in the international community that in major crises humanitarian aid and development interventions have to go hand-in-hand from the earliest opportunity. "Humanitarian responses enable people to survive, and development responses enable the rebuilding of services, livelihoods, and infrastructure", said Ms. Clark.
"This twin track approach is what the Regional United Nations Development Group (UNDG) has been discussing in Amman in recent days", said Sima Bahous, Director of the Regional Bureau for Arab States in UNDP and Cahir of the Regional UNDG, who accompanied the Administrator on her UAE visit. "UNDP has proposed a resilience-based development response to the Syria crisis to complement humanitarian efforts, and the response from other UN agencies and donors has been overwhelmingly positive."
Helen Clark also met with the UN Country Team and with the staff of UNDP in UAE during her visit.

Technology Fee
In the Fall of 1996, all registered students at Western began paying a technology fee as part of their tuition. The money generated from this fee is used to bring technology directly to the students and to enhance their educational and life experiences at the University.
Information Technology & Innovation has and continues to manage the money from the technology fee for the Student Technology Training Center, the library, support for student clubs and organizations, and the residence halls.
Your Technology Fee has already brought you:
- The Student Technology Training Center (STTC), located on the second floor of the Student Center in room 225, which houses state-of-the-art IBM PC and Apple workstations containing several graphic design software packages.
- Upgrades of equipment in all of the computing facilities, upgrades of technology in the classrooms including projection units and instructor/student workstations, and personnel employed in the STTC and computing centers.
- Access to the University network and the Internet from the residence halls. A Residence Hall Network (ResNet) connections provides students with access similar to what they will find in the computer centers and technology classrooms at Western, including the ability to map to class and student shared drives. If you are interested in being connected, visit our ResNet website for more information. ResNet information is also available in the computer centers. Students requesting a network connection from their residence hall will be supplied with an Ethernet cable needed to connect from the wall jack to an Ethernet card on their computer.
