Another possibility for the position: Jane Harman, the former congresswoman from California who is well-respected within intelligence circles. While in Congress she served as the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, chaired the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and was a member of the Armed Services Committee. Although a social liberal, Harman was seen as a moderate on intelligence and defense issues. She voted for the war in Iraq and initially supported the controversial domestic surveillance program run by the Bush administration. Harman left Congress to run the Woodrow Wilson International Center, but still speaks out often on intelligence and foreign policy issues. .... Benson left out some important details about Harman. http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/11/14/jane-harmon-and-israeli-spying/ Quote: Jane Harman and Israeli Spying by ALISON WEIR It is astounding to find that one of the handful of prospects being floated to become CIA director following the fall of General David Petraeus is a person reportedly implicated in a 2005 Israeli spy scandal. CNN, Politico, and others have all listed former Congresswoman Jane Harman as a potential new CIA head. Oddly, however, none have mentioned reports in 2006 and again in 2009 that an NSA wiretap in 2005 had picked up Harman promising a suspected Israeli agent that she would aid people indicted for espionage on behalf of Israel. According to reports, Harman allegedly told the Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two top officials for the powerful Israel lobby organization, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In return, the suspected Israeli agent (who may have been a dual-citizen American) reportedly pledged to help lobby for Harman to become chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Harman was already the ranking Democrat on the committee. At the end of the conversation, Harman reportedly said: �This conversation doesn�t exist.� The two AIPAC officials had been indicted for illegally obtaining classified documents about Iran and passing these on to Israel. They also gave them to prominent Washington Post journalist Glenn Kessler, whose speaker bio lists three topics: �Global Affairs, Jewish Interest, Middle East Issues.� One of the indicted AIPAC officials has since defended himself by stating that his actions were routine for AIPAC � that AIPAC staffers regularly obtain and hand on classified U.S. information to Israel and others. AIPAC, worried at public exposure caused by the indictments, fired the two men. Subsequent lawsuits over their firing provided considerable information, from sleazy details about AIPAC high officials to the fact that dozens of AIPAC donors had provided monetary assistance to the two men, despite evidence that they had leaked classified U.S. documents to a foreign country. Among these donors were Slim-Fast billionaire Daniel Abraham, philanthropist Lynn Schusterman, and Haim Saban, an Israeli-American who is one of the major donors to Democratic candidates. Saban, who is close to Harman, says his �greatest concern is to protect Israel.� (His wife was recently nominated to be US ambassador to the UN.) Harman, who frequently speaks at AIPAC events, is widely known for her strong advocacy for Israel and of Middle East wars on behalf of it. She backed the attack on Iraq and now similarly maintains that Iran is a threat to Americans, despite the fact that Iraqquickly turned into a tragic, unnecessary, and disastrously costly debacle; that Iraq had none of the weapons of mass destruction that had been claimed; and that current claims against Iran are similarly tenuous. The Jewish Forward calls her a �pro-Israel stalwart,� and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reports, �Harman is beloved by the pro-Israel lobby and is a sure-bet appearance at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee�s annual policy conference.� According to Open Secrets, Harman was one of the top recipients of pro-Israel campaign donations. JTA reported that her departure from Congress in 20011, �earned her an unusually effusive statement of regret from AIPAC director Howard Kohr.� Like AIPAC, Harman currently pushes the alleged need, often promoted by flawed media reports, for the U.S. to address what she claims is Iran�s development of nuclear weapons, despite the fact that U.S. intelligence agencies continue to find that Iran is actually not developing them. (She also neglects to mention that Israel has a stockpile of nuclear weapons and has refused to sign the nonproliferation treaty). In her nine terms in Congress, Harman focused on military and security affairs and served on all the major security committees: six years on Armed Services, eight years on Intelligence, and four on Homeland Security. Harman, who was married to billionaire Sidney Harman, owner of Newsweek, until his death last year, was listed as the second-richest member in congress. Harman resigned from Congress in 20011 to head up the Washington DC Woodrow Wilson Center, part of theSmithsonian. The Wilson Center is listed as the 16th most powerful think tank in the world. Like Harman, the longtime chair of the Wilson Center, Joseph B. Gildenhorn, is extremely close to Israel. He endowed theInstitute for Israel Studies at the University of Maryland and may at one point have been an AIPAC board member. Wilson Co-chair Sander R. Gerber has been an AIPAC board member for many years. In explaining her decision to leave Congress in order to direct the Wilson Center, Harman said: �Serving at its helm provides unique opportunities to involve the House and Senate, top experts and world leaders in �great debates� about the most pressing foreign and domestic policy matters.� While Congressional Quarterly�s Roll Call contains an article in which Harman denies the espionage-related reports, the publication seems to have taken down the report to which Harman was responding and to which numerous other articleslink: �Sources: Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC,� by Jeff Stein, Congressional Quarterly, April 19, 2009. (It�s unclear whether the removal of Stein�s article is related to the fact that three months after the story broke, Congressional Quarterly was bought by the Economist Group.) In the report, investigative journalist Jeff Stein provided additional details about the incident and explained that whether or not Harman delivered on her promise (she did not attain her desired chairmanship), the making of the promise was sufficient to constitute, in legal terms, a �completed crime.� Despite considerable outcry and calls for a Justice Department investigation, Harman eluded prosecution, the expected full investigation of the powerful southern California Democrat never happened, and Harman�s allegedly subversive actions seem to have dropped from sight. While former Petraeus deputy (and currently acting director) Michael J. Morell seems to be the current frontrunner for CIA head, Harman and others are reported to still be in the running. Also, Morell could prove to be a temporary choice to prevent a lapse in leadership while the long-term director is chosen. If Harman does becomes CIA director, her appointment would no doubt be greeted with glee by the Israeli government. Whether or not Harman made treasonous promises to an Israeli agent, there is no doubt that she is a committed advocate for the Israeli regime. Americans, on the other hand, might have less reason for joy. Would Obama appoint an outed Israeli spy to the CIA? Should CNN have disclosed this information?

However, even though they never spoke to Bostr�m and lacked any proof to confirm the allegations, they thought Bilal had been deprived of some organs.[17][18] In a follow-up editorial, Aftonbladet editor Jan Helin wrote that he approved the article for publication "because it raises a few questions", while acknowledging that the paper had no evidence for its claims.[19] In August 2009, Bostr�m said he did not know whether the claims were true or not but that he wanted them investigated;[20] he made similar remarks again at a November conference in Israel.[21] Aftonbladet published an update noting the recent conviction of Yehuda Hiss, Chief Pathologist at Israel's Abu Kabir Institute, and two of his colleagues for improperly taking body tissue from a dead Israeli soldier in 2001. The paper acknowledged that the event did not prove the truth of the original allegations.[22][23][24] In December 2009, a 2000 interview with Hiss was released, in which he had admitted taking organs from the corpses of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, without the families' permission.

232-245 10-Strict Gear
Point A)
The T8 4-pc bonus completely rules. It's being nerfed today with 3.2.2, but I think even a 800-1k insta heal tick is quite nice!
Point B)
The T9 2-pc and T8 2-pc do not make up for T8 4-pc (prior to 3.2.2). I'm not entirely sure how the nerfs will alter this: will my use of swiftmend and nourish (which is higher on new content than on farmed) be worthwhile alongside the stat boost of 232 gear, over the 1k-ish insta rejuv ticks?
Point C)
The T9 4-pc bonus is verrah niiice. It lets my rejuv ticks have a chance to crit. Downside to this over the T8 rejuv tick is that I won't have control over when the extra healing occurs, and we all know how druid hots have a habit of being heavy overheal!
Point D)
The only T9 I can purchase directly is i232. The 245 version requires a possible drop from the cache in heroic mode, which is a ways out, and is a one-a-week-maybe kind of thing that will require sharing across the guild... and I can get legs and gloves out of VoA 10 or 25. So it's inconceivable(!) to assume I will get 4-pc 245 T9 before the next content patch (T10) comes out, let alone in any time frame to make a direct jump from the T8 and 226 hardmode gear to the 245 T9.
Point E)
I have access to non-set pieces that are 245, and thus better than the 232 T9.
Point Fail)
Among the non-set slots, I can pick up a heroic version of the belt, but I'm pretty much screwed on boots and wrists unless I have the wrists crafted (a jump from 219 to 245) and pick up the cloth boots. All ring, neck, and weapon drops in ToC are lacking any spirit, as well.
Thus the conundrum: the T9 4-pc is only achievable with a significant amount of 232 gear rather than 245, while the 245 gear is substantially better stat-wise yet carries pretty much the same price tag. I get the feeling I will be giving up T9 in favor of non-set pieces, which saddens me for the sake of the set bonuses.
Koralon drops gloves and legs with iLevel 232 on 10-man, and 245 on 25-man. The PvP stuff from 25-man is i251, which is useful for Flame Leviathon but not much else, if you're a purely PvE raider. Ony25 and ToC25, while possibly puggable, are out of my reach as a strict 10-man raider (indeed, many strict-10 guilds have been falling off the strict charts from joining pugs, even in getting 25-man sarth +1Drake, etc! I can't say as I agree with this fault in the guildox strict-listing system; I'm hoping such easily puggable old content achievements will be removed from the 25 progression rankings, or else the number of progression achievements required to count as a 25-man guild be increased, as I don't think it fair to those who are 10strict but happen to pug Naxx and Sarth 213 content. But I digress, and these parenthesis have rambled on for way longer than I had anticipated).
Since I can't sit around in T8 forever when there is iLevel 245 gear out, I have to consider moving forward. I think I would rather gear out in full 245 gear as opposed to 232 T9, and hope for lucky VoA drops along with the eventual cache tokens to push me up to a mostly 245 T9 kit.
What I'm looking at picking up (Heroic 245 versions):
Mesa/Grotto Hat (crit) - Eydis or Vendor Hat (haste) - 75 Badges
Currently equipped: 226 T8
Binding Elements Neck - Jaraxxus
Currently equipped: 226 badge.
Glacial Winds Shoulders (haste) - Icehowl or Vendor Shoulders (spirit) - 50 badges
Currently equipped: 219 T8
Shawl of the Devout - Insanity Chest, 50 attempts remaining on heroic. Mmm hm. Or, Fluttering Saphh Drape (no spirit, resistances) - Ony10. Below that, is killing Algalon and turning in his code for the 226 Summerglimmer Drape. Of these, the Ony10 cloak is the most easily obtainable, overall.
Currently equipped: 213.
Chest: either to use a rare token drop, or make the crafted 245 chest with 8 orbs (on limited orb supply). I will probably make this my priority on token drop. If any of my readers are horde on Turalyon: I do have this pattern!
Currently equipped: 226 T8; can purchase 232 with badges if necessary.
Crafted wrists (60 badges for orbs, + materials) - these are the only wrists available. Healing priests have the same problem. If any of my readers are horde on Turalyon: I do have this pattern!
Currently equipped: the crafted wrists. :) Yay!
Gloves: The i245 option is either to luck out in VoA25, or use a rare token drop. I will hope for VoA.
Currently equipped: 226 hardmode; can purchase 232 with badges if necessary.
Bloodhoof/Solstice Belt - Jaraxxus
Currently equipped: 232 version, this will be a simple upgrade.
Demonic Messenger Legs - Jaraxxus (cloth) or a lucky VoA25 Koralon Drop
Currently equipped: 219 T8.
Boots/Sandals of the Grieving Soul - Heroic Eydis (cloth); no leather caster options.
Currently equipped: 219. There are 226 leather crafted available, but the cloth 245 is better.
Band of the Invoker + Heartmender Circle - 70 badges total, or Polished Dragonslayer's Signet from the Onyxia head
Currently equipped: both badge rings
Cached Disciple's Blade or Cached Mace or Anubarak Mace or Sharpened Fang of the Mystics (Ony) + Antique Cornerstone Grimoire (Ony)
...else Eydis' Staff from heroic (no Spirit either, though :( ).
Currently equipped: 232 Icecore
Idol of Flaring Growth is a no-brainer.
I still need time to consider. The Binding Stone is decent mp5 and the Talisman of Resurgence has a ton of Int, but a click-use is undesirable in the face of so many straight equip trinkets; I have the 232 version of the Binding Stone for use on mana-intensive fights. Currently running SoH and IoDS. Would probably like to just pick up Sif's Rememberance and use that over the Binding Stone.
There are also the pair of trinkets from Onyxia that have a set bonus of 222 SP and chance to cause "cauterizing heal" on your heal targets; unsure if this will proc off of HoTs.
So, what are your thoughts? Any of you that raid 10-strict have any further ideas on gearing?

Even as a 25-man raider, I've really stalled on picking up resto set pieces. I went for my 2-piece moonkin set bonus and grabbed a ring with 35 triumph badges... and have 0 pieces of my healing tier 9 gear. I'll probably start filling in some tier 9 gear "soon"... maybe.

The chest from Anub Hard Mode drops 4 of the tokens to purchase the 245 T9 gear from what I've read. (Our best efforts thus far are a good number of ~13% wipes, so I can't say this is true from experience).
So, that may not be as slow going as anticipated.
Also, some folks over at EJ in the resto itemization or healing thread have some parses from the 4 T9 and are anazlyzing it. I want to say they were figuring it to be about a 8% boost in healing. But the discussion is worth checking out. Which is close to on par with the 4T8, if I recall my numbers correctly :)
P.S. are you selling your services? I'd love the same analysis on gear for my paladin and shaman! ;-)

Then I shall be hopeful for 245 gear with token drops :)
Oh, we can buy crusader orbs for 15 badges a pop now, too. Yay! Will have to save up for the bracers crafting. Of course that means I won't be buying the 232 chest/gloves as holdovers any time soon, as triumph badges are a limited commodity for 10 man raiders!
I just checked my T8 nerf... it's only ticking for 665-666 (gasp) raw in my gear, assuming no procs off of my idol or the stacking trinket SP. It's rather akin to a tick of WG healing... so not bad, but not what it used to be either.

The main issue I have as a strict 10-man raider is that we have to pay badges twice to go from 232 T9 to 245 T9, but 25-man raiders don't have to spend any badges for the 258 T9. At the very least, we should be able to trade in the 232 pieces for a discount on the 245 pieces. It'd make picking them up a lot more reasonable in the meantime.
- September 22, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Screw this strict 10 man nonsense.
The only requirement I feel a 10 man guild is required is that they obtain the ilevel strict achievements. Beyond that, who the f cares?
There will not be a guide system implemented by Blizzard to set 10 mans from 25 mans. So the community at large trying to make up rules and guidelines in order to keep certain guilds "pure" is, to me, retarded.
In my eyes a 10 man guild should wear 10 man gear while progressing, otherwise screw it, get your pug on, get your uber gear and haters be damned.

- Kae said...
Ehh, yeah, I'm not a fan of having lower-content puggable instances count towards 25man progression. There have been a lot of guilds that have fallen off of guildox's strict listings due to puggable content.
The sad part is, ToC25 is puggable too.
Regardless, I think any puggable content should be pulled off any consideration of what is 10-man "strict." 10-man strict is what the guild does together, not what the guild's members do with pugs, imo.
Aside, I have enough badges for the crafted wrists now, I'm buying up the orbs and hunting down a leatherworker who has the pattern!!

This is an article that was sent to me by a friend and patient. There are some interesting ideas in it that highlight some of the new ways that primary care is being delivered This is from The Wall Street Journal.
Finding the Best Doctor for You
By ANNA WILDE MATHEWS
Sarah Morse recently sought out a new physician after moving to Annapolis, Md., to take a job as a college admissions official. She opted for a large medical practice that offers extended walk-in hours, email access and an online portal where she can make appointments, request prescription refills and get test results.
Ms. Morse's previous doctor, a traditional solo practitioner in Baltimore, had no such amenities.
"In this day and age, people need to provide those kinds of services," says Ms. Morse, 57 years old. She recently made use of the extended hours after coming down with a sudden case of poison ivy that needed treatment first thing in the morning.
Things are changing at the doctor's office, giving people who need to find a new family doctor more options to choose from—and some things to watch out for.
A growing number of primary-care physicians, who traditionally provided basic checkups and treatment for everyday medical problems, are aiming to take on a more ambitious role overseeing all aspects of their patients' health. Many are giving up self-employment and are going to work for big hospital systems, which might push up certain costs for patients. Other doctors are opting out of insurance-payment systems and asking patients to pay them directly, sometimes through monthly fees. And primary-care practices can increasingly be found in some nontraditional settings, including clinics in the workplace set up by employers.
Choosing a new doctor can be confusing, and many people rely on recommendations from friends or co-workers. Among other reasons, people may seek out new physicians if they move to a new city, or if their doctors relocate or stop accepting their insurance. Experts say it is increasingly important for patients to lock in a primary-care doctor soon because of expected increased demand for physicians starting in 2014, when the new federal health-overhaul law will add millions of people to the health-insurance rolls.
Primary-care practices that coordinate automatically with specialists, track patients to ensure they get the right tests and generally oversee patients' broad health needs are commonly known as medical homes. Nonphysicians are taking on a greater role in this team-based approach, so patients should make sure they feel comfortable with a practice's nurses and physician assistants. The number of medical-home practices is growing, according to the nonprofit National Committee for Quality Assurance, the biggest certifier of medical homes. The group recognized about 4,770 medical homes nationwide as of August, up from about 1,500 at the end of 2010.
Ted Davidson, who lives in Washington, D.C., recently found a primary-care practice on the recommendation of a physician acquaintance. The 25-year-old likes how his new doctor has his medical information on a digital tablet during visits. After Mr. Davidson was recently referred to a cardiologist because of some incidents of dizziness, his primary-care doctor at his next visit had the specialist's notes and test results available electronically. "Having someone there to guide me through the whole process was so much more reassuring than doing it all myself," says Mr. Davidson, who works at a business-valuation firm.
Choosing Wisely
Choosing Wisely
Here are five things to consider in selecting a primary-care doctor.
1. Does the physician make you feel comfortable and listen to your concerns and opinions?
2. Does the office seem to function smoothly? How easy is it to get an appointment or get care outside regular office hours?
3. Does the practice track your care and alert you to gaps?
4. Do specialists' results automatically get sent back to your doctor and discussed with you?
5. Does the practice accept your insurance, or charge you directly? Will it help you keep costs down when possible?
Source: WSJ reporting
Some doctors say they can't offer patients the best care under the current insurance-payment structure. This typically provides fees for visits but not always other services, such as drawing up a care plan for a person recently discharged from a hospital. As a result, some doctors are refusing to accept insurance, and are requiring patients to pay them directly. For instance, at Qliance Medical Management Inc., which doesn't take part in traditional insurer networks, patients typically pay between $49 and $89 a month for care at the health provider's five clinics in Washington state, says Erika Bliss, Qliance's chief executive.
David Usher, a doctor in Menomonie, Wis., recently left the Mayo Clinic to start his own solo direct-pay practice. He now offers his patients longer visits, typically 30 minutes or more, for a charge of $55, he says. The prices of other services are posted in his waiting room and online. "Patients like the extra time, as do I," he says.
Some practices cater exclusively to the well-heeled. So-called concierge physicians may offer house calls, constant cellphone access and personalized assistance navigating the health-care bureaucracy. Patients may pay a yearly fee of $1,500 to $5,000, and even as much as $20,000 or more, for these extras, in addition to the fees their insurers pay the doctors for treatment, says Tom Blue, executive director of the American Academy of Private Physicians, which represents direct-pay and concierge doctors. His group estimates there are 4,400 direct-pay and concierge practices, up about 25% from last year.
Hospitals increasingly are hiring doctors and doctors and buying up practices. For patients, this can bring benefits, since hospitals often are better able to invest in technology such as electronic medical records. The hospital systems also may foster greater integration between primary care, specialists and hospitals own operations. But physicians employed by hospitals may be more likely to refer patients to hospital imaging departments and labs, where services are often more expensive than at independent facilities.
A growing number of employers are launching workplace clinics, aiming to reduce health-care costs, improve their workers' health and offer convenient care that may reduce time away from work.
Oerlikon Fairfield, a Lafayette, Ind., maker of gears, hired a medical-management company called WeCare TLC LLC to set up a clinic at its factory in 2010. It includes three exam rooms and a small pharmacy, and has a doctor and a nurse practitioner on duty full-time. The manufacturer, which has about 1,225 employees, says patient visits at the clinic cost about half the amount Oerlikon Fairfield pays when its workers go to doctors at local practices and hospital systems that have contracts with its insurance carrier, says Jane Wolfe, the company's employee benefits manager. The clinic also promotes preventive-care efforts such as a weight-loss program.
Some workers initially had privacy concerns about seeing a doctor at work, Ms. Wolfe says. Now, the clinic is usually booked up and recently added more hours and a physical therapist, she says.

But I do work on several other projects, and I do consider that I kinda "owe" something to my users. Throwing some (ugly, untested) code on git is not what i consider "being an OS dev". It's just this.. throwing code. As an OS dev, i do consider that I should either listen to users, especially when they are dev carefully reporting bugs. Or if I can't I should say it clearly and publicly.
I've stopped reporting bugs to kde after years of totally unsuccessful reporting to bugs.kde.org. All what i've seen was bugs pilling up on the bugzilla, a very lot of old duplicate, and most importantly, developers basically denying the bug or arguing as you do ("this is opensource, so you dont have to cry"). Fortunately this was not often, but this oh-so... you know... not what i'm used to as a dev.

Robin Thicke, 'Paula'
IT'S easy to fall in line with the crowd that believes Robin Thicke's attempt to win back his wife by calling his new album "Paula" is desperate and ridiculous.
But if we're judging strictly on the music — and not on the over-the-top, awkward and somewhat creepy public pleas by Thicke everywhere from the BET Awards to the Billboard Music Awards — Paula Patton might want to reconsider.
The 14-track "Paula," where Thicke spills his feelings, confesses his sins and insists he's a changed man, is a return to Thicke's R&B roots. It is also a reminder that he was a talented, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter pre-"Blurred Lines" hysteria.
"Blurred Lines" made Thicke an international star and helped him tap into a younger audience that constantly streams music, buys digital tracks and can determine today and tomorrow's next pop star. But the song has also been a bit of a curse: It has pigeon-holed Thicke, propelled him to one-hit-wonder status (despite having success in the past) and alienated the singer from the R&B fans who help him reach platinum status. And the tracks on "Paula" don't sound like songs that will play on Top 40 radio per se. (AP)

"..A rare look inside the process of one of the most prolific and tenacious interactive media artists working today." – salon.com
"Willis is the spokeswoman for this grand dance of junque nouvelle and vérité… as if Ozzie Nelson had acquired a sick and sudden taste for Surrealist poets. Her own interest in kitsch typifies the dichotomy that makes her interesting…The silliness, un-self consciousness, sense of whimsy and innocence are reflected in the absurd designs and bright colors (that surround her). Even the themes lack pretension… Hopeful images of a powerful America and its future." – LA Weekly

LAS VEGAS, May 27 (UPI) -- U.S. actor Bradley Cooper says he loved starring in the three "Hangover" movies, but he insists there are no plans for a fourth installment in the franchise.
Co-starring Justin Bartha, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, "The Hangover" was about a Las Vegas bachelor party gone horribly awry. The sequel finds the guys on the run from drug dealers while preparing for another wedding -- this time in Bangkok. In the series capper, the friends attempt to help Galifianakis' quirky, depressed character, Alan, get through a personal crisis.
Asked at a recent Las Vegas news conference if there is any chance the guys might reunite for "The Hangover Part IV" some time in the near future, Cooper told reporters, "No."
"The ending of the movie is the ending of the whole thing and these characters. There is closure and it ties up everything that you didn't know wasn't tied up -- little moments from the first two movies," Cooper said.
"The Hangover Part III" earned $42.4 million this past weekend when it opened.

I believe federal law make it illegal to have video available where the driver can see it.
You can do the equivalent of motion-jpeg in JS (where it rapidly swaps out individual images) -- I have seen that done in some places, but that won't help you for YouTube which needs either flash or HTML5 video.
I'm not aware of any federal law against it, but many states prohibit the operation of a motor vehicle with video in view of the driver, with the exception of navigation systems, rear view cameras, etc.
Apparently Tesla agreed to voluntarily block HTML5 and Flash to insure the 5 star safety rating and avoid the ire of the safety reviewers. Flash may reportedly also underperform on the Tegra processor similar to Apple products. Limited functionality may be re-introduced through future apps i.e. the ability to view video while in park, etc. Details are unknown at this time.
@Robert22 - yeah, the browser performs pretty poorly already on complex pages (such as Google Drive spreadsheets, entering my energy usage). I really wish they had used Chrome rather than khtml for the basis. In particular, Android Chrome would have had a much better experience for integrating touch.
Android Chrome would have sold your profile (sites you visit, places you've been etc.) to their customers (advertisers) and some people who are buying $100k cars are simply not ecstatic about that kind of cheap trick.
"ghillair | January 11, 2013 new
I believe federal law make it illegal to have video available where the driver can see it."
The key word is "driver", there would not be a driver. It would only work when the car is in park. It would be so nice to watch my big screen while the wife's in the mall.
Tesla may not be able to sell the car that way BUT in the future someone can offer an APP after you have already purchased the car. My tablets have a separate youtube app on them and I imagine they just might work on Tesla's display once someone gets around to tweaking.
There are cheap tablets that have 3G or LTE connectivity, or can be tethered to a smartphone that has LTE, like the Nexus or kindle fire. It would be much more convenient for those kids to have the tablet in their hands or on the back of the headrests. Video on the center console just seems like the last thing on the list of missing features...

Antigrav will give us flying cars, but more importantly it'll reinvent jetski technology. These seacraft hoverpods look sexier than those pod racers in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Plus you could zip up onto the beach and spray sand in the face of the jock who bullied you during high school.
Scott Robertson loves to draw hovercraft, or "los aerodeslizadores" as they say in Spanish, which sounds a whole lot cooler. Even though they aren't touching the water, they look like they could cut right through it with the knife-edged fins, and check out the wake they're tossing out behind them. You wouldn't want to get sucked into one of those engines, but you'd probably love sitting behind the wheel of one of these things.

The world's greatest ground? A photographic centenary celebration of Highbury
We are part of The Trust Project What is it?
2. Three Lions at Highbury
It didn't take long for England to start playing at Highbury, especially after Arsenal's controversial 1919 promotion to the First Division. A dozen England matches were held at the Arsenal Stadium (as it was always officially known) between 1920 and 1961.
In this shot from 9 December 1931, Bill "Dixie" Dean moves menacingly toward Ricardo Zamora. The becapped stopper, after whom the Spanish goalkeeper of the year award is still named, wouldn't back down - in a Spain-England game two years earlier he had played on with a broken breastbone and helped the home side win 4-3, becoming the first team outside the British Isles to beat the English.
No such luck on this occasion at Highbury, now proudly bearing the south-end clock which had been installed in 1930. In front of 55,000 cheering spectators, Spain were beaten 7-1...

The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing. (Egyptian proverb)
The following article appeared a month ago. Everybody in the street bought a copy of the paper with a picture of the girl who turned into a kangaroo because her mother had thrown the Koran in her face. The men in the coffee shop around the gallery discussed it and wondered why all the Americans soldiers hadn't turned into kangaroos or monkeys after stepping on the Koran. "Because they're American," someone replied. What follows is a transcript of the article as it was published.
Arab Girl Turns Into A Terrifying Animal By God's Almighty Will!!
A very peculiar girl has appeared in one of the Arab countries, Yemen to be precise. She has the body of a female, complete with reproductive system, but she has the face of a kangaroo, which gives her a horrifying appearance. Rumors have spread across town that this girl was born this way because her mother blasphemed against the Holy Qur'an before having intercourse, so God deformed the child in this image. But what is strange is that this is not the only girl of her kind in the world. As a matter of fact, an Australian hospital has announced that another girl who looks like her was born in the hospital. This look-alike girl was the result of sexual intercourse between a 17-year-old Australian virgin girl and a kangaroo, an animal which inhabits the Australian woods, which is where the girl was taking a walk when she saw the kangaroo with which she had sex. The result was a baby girl born in the shape of a kangaroo.
It is worth noting that some of the media posted the rumor on several websites, reporting that this image is that of an Egyptian girl whose mother threw the Qur'an in her face so that she turned into this abnormal animal. However there is no proof of this animal's existence in Egypt, and all we can say is "Allah is truly almighty."

White Sox Sale on to victory against Royals
Ace lefty fires eight shutout frames; Ramirez unlocks scoreless game
KANSAS CITY -- There was something different about Chris Sale during the White Sox 5-1 victory over the Royals on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
This noticeable switch came from Sale taking the baseball, stepping on the mound and performing in that extra gear as an ace hurler was designed. The White Sox had lost three in a row, and Sale wasn't going to let that streak get to four, hurling eight scoreless innings, and he would have come back for the ninth if not for the White Sox (3-3) pushing across four in the top of the frame.
Even though Kansas City had ace James Shields (0-1) on the mound, Sale (2-0) was on a mission. Even if his offense only scored one run.
"He knows we lost a few in a row and he's going up against Shields," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. "We need a win and there is something different about him. You can tell."
"It's tough, but you know what you're getting when you face a team like this and a starter in James," Sale said. "You've just got to bear down and give it everything you've got. Just kind of crank it up a little bit and get it going."
Before Sale took the mound, little doubt existed in his mind that he needed to be near-perfect. That feeling comes from the lack of offense Sale has received recently when facing the Royals. So he couldn't have been surprised when he looked at the gigantic scoreboard in center in the seventh inning and saw a 0 under the runs column.
In his previous 42 innings on the mound against the Royals, covering parts of six starts total into the seventh inning on Sunday, the White Sox had given him one total run of support courtesy of a Tyler Flowers homer on Opening Day in 2013. They matched that total against Shields.
Conor Gillaspie, who doubled twice, ripped his second extra-base hit down the right-field line with one out in the seventh and moved to third on Avisail Garcia's topper back to the mound. Alexei Ramirez followed with a ground ball that shortstop Alcides Escobar only was able to knock down to bring home the run.
Ramirez's two hits on Sunday give the notoriously slow April starter 10 in his first 22 at-bats.
"Everybody contributed a little bit," Ramirez said through translator and White Sox manager of cultural development Lino Diaz. "But the big thing is that we won."
"For him it's getting pitches in the strike zone," Ventura said of his shortstop. "It's always been about pitch selection and being able to get somebody in the zone. If you make yourself swing at strikes, you have a better chance, and he's been doing that."
Of course, the Royals probably weren't stunned to see their run total at zero going against one of the game's top pitchers. The White Sox left-hander allowed four hits over 111 pitches, with two of those hits coming in the third when the Royals had their only runner reach third prior to scoring in the ninth.
Six strikeouts and one walk also were part of Sale's final line, along with one unofficial message pitch coming in the sixth. Jose Abreu, the White Sox marquee offensive force, was hit by a Shields pitch in the top of the frame, coming two innings after he inadvertently stepped on first baseman Eric Hosmer's foot trying to beat out a grounder to Escobar.
On a 2-0 pitch to Omar Infante in the bottom of the frame, after coming inside on the first two offerings, Sale came well inside to earn warnings for both benches from home-plate umpire Greg Gibson.
"Leaking front side. Flying open," Sale said. "Ball cut a little bit, so [stuff] happens."
Shields understood Sale was trying to protect his teammate, but said postgame there was no intent when he hit Abreu.
"I'm not trying to hit Abreu there. In a 0-0 ballgame, I'm not trying to put a runner on base," said Shields, who gave up one run on five hits while fanning six over seven innings and 102 pitches. "When he stepped on Hoz, I went over to him and said everything's OK. When I hit him, after that, I went over to be sure everything was OK. There was definitely no intent right there."
Replay challenge No. 1 of the season came for the White Sox in that same sixth inning on Hosmer's fielder's choice grounder back to the mound. The ruling was that Hosmer beat the relay to first, and the umpires ruled that the play would stand as called after a review.
At those 111 pitches after eight, Sale was ready to protect that one-run lead in the ninth. Ventura was ready to have him protect that lead. But the White Sox four-run rally, capped by Flowers' two-run single, sent closer Matt Lindstrom to the mound.
Sale's work was done at that point. But don't try to tell the humble All-Star his presence is any more important than any other White Sox player or that he sits at the center of this reshaping process. He's just one of the guys, even when his talent and competitive fire says he's clearly not.
"I pitch once every fifth day like all the other starters and I take the first bus just like everyone else," Sale said. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm more or less important than the next guy. It's a team effort. I'm lucky to be surrounded by guys that I have."

Recent review: Having been an avid fan of rock n'roll music for three decades, it was essential that I found a really good band for our wedding. I reviewed over 100 bands over a period of several months and Sound of the Suburb were by far the best. These gentlemen love what they do and they do what they love exceedingly well. They are some of the most pleasant, accommodating, flexible and decent people I have dealt with. When it comes to detail, I make Meryl Streep in The Devil wears Prada look tame. Instead of being put off or irritated, these men relished the challenge of coming up with a play list that would meet my expectations and they did- in spades. Another major benefit is that as they have regular gigs, we were able to see them in action, which was very reassuring compared to trying to make up your mind based on a couple of wobbly videos, which our internet driven, gig economy world attempts to force us to do. The band members have a great deal of experience of such events and so was able to advise on what does and does not work. They visited the venue so we were confident we would not have any logistical issues. They have very good equipment (for which they may need set up time) and provided wireless mikes which were useful for the speeches & our open mike session and also took care of the recorded music between their sets. Most of all, they generate an energy and fun that was infectious. We had everyone from under 9 to over 90 years old on the dance floor, which revealed dancing talents of some guests even their spouses did not know they possessed. Our family and friends had a ball thanks to their efforts, which they do not spare any of to make the occasion memorable. I am, by my own admission, a difficult person to please as I demand quality and thoroughness. This band not just met but exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them unreservedly. Please treat them with the respect such good musicians deserve and they will go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful event.

A Fruitless Year Lyrics
When the rain floods the fields and the whole crop is gone, its starting to feel like an old country song. Dont just rest in regret put your best dress shoes on and play in the mud. Then run for your life like a good little boy, cause today you are young if you just make the choice to be free from the weather and never give up on your toys. Its a lie that they feed you and prove you must follow the current events of today and tomorrow. When deep in your throat you still know it is hollow. The whole world is just one more pill you must swallow. And its side effect list consists of sad sex and sorrow, its an unhealthy mixture, a weight you cant wallow away from your tears or the years that just follow.

To justify them in any way by scheduling them in football or any other sport is weak, IMO. Therefore I have no sympathy for Furman, but it sure makes the SoCon look weak for Elon to go to Furman and beat them. VMI's loss to Catawba is also pretty embarrassing. I suppose our question after two wins is "are we and/or the league any good?"

(Oct. 2, 2011) Radiosurgery is a non-invasive medical procedure in which focused beams of high-energy X-rays target tumors and other abnormalities in the body. A single large dose of radiation is capable of ablating a lesion that might not be amenable to surgical removal. However, some radiosurgery systems, such as the CyberKnife (CK), can be relatively time-consuming because the treatment planning requires the delivery of up to several hundred cone-shaped beams to adequately cover an irregularly shaped tumor. But a new study from Fox Chase Cancer Center now reports that there is an alternative to the conventional CyberKnife treatment delivery system. This new technique uses a multileaf collimator (MLC) and can flexibly sculpt a single radiation beam to match the exact contour of a tumor--significantly reducing the treatment time and minimizing the amount of radiation to the neighboring tissues.
Jiajin Fan, Ph.D., a radiation oncology physicist at Fox Chase, presented the study at the 2011 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting on October 2.
In the study, Fan and his team compared treatment plans created with the CyberKnife MLC (CK-MLC) delivery device to the original IRIS cone collimator device, and to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) plans, which also precisely shapes radiation beams to conform to the shape of a tumor. When these techniques were applied for five patients with various tumors, all of them had good target dose coverage.However, radiation doses fell off most sharply in the CK-MLC plan, which was associated with the greatest sparing of the surrounding structures, such as the rectum and bladder for a prostate cancer patient compared to the IRIS plan. In addition, the delivery of the CK-MLC treatment plan took only10 minutes which is about 10 percent of the total IRIS plan treatment time . This is primarily because the number of beams required is significantly less with the CK-MLC technique.
"Using the MLC plan, we can deliver radiation therapy much faster compared to the current CyberKnife technique, and we can achieve much better target coverage and a much sharper dose fall off than a regular IMRT plan," Fan says. "Basically, we can spare the critical structures around tumors much better , providing the ability to treat the tumor to a higher dose without increasing the normal tissue toxicity . Consequently, we can achieve better tumor control with less damage to the patient's body." The advantages associated with the CK-MLC plan offer great potential for the widespread clinical application of robotic radiotherapy, Fan adds.

Cleavon Schpielbunk
Cleavon Schpielbunk (Japanese: ヒート南野 Heat Minamino) is a character based on the real-life, professional movie director Steven Spielberg. He appeared in the Pokémon Indigo League episodes: Lights, Camera, Quacktion and Go West, Young Meowth.
In these two episodes, he was participating in the Golden Growlithe Award at the Flea Collar Film Festival, and in the first, he found Ash and Co., and decided to have them and their Pokémon join the movie, Pokémon in Love (which was very similar to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet).
At the end of Go West, Young Meowth, Cleavon Schpielbunk wins the awards, but Ash and his friends were disappointed, mostly because they weren't in it - they were cut out. Schpielbunk made the point that it was only a Pokémon-starring movie.
The story was about a Wigglytuff and a Psyduck falling in love (Misty's Psyduck) with each other.

The district around Peshkopi, a small town in the northeast of Albania, 20 km from the Macedonian border, is known for its ore and mineral deposits including iron, copper, chromium and sulphur. One of the largest mines in the area is in Bulqiza, roughly 20 km from Peshkopi. In June 2007, workers at the ferrochrome mine in Bulqiza went on strike over the level of their pay and the deplorable safety conditions in the mine. Their anger increased after two miners, Hysni Lezi and Avni Durici were killed in an accident on June 11th.
This was not an isolated incident.. In a news conference, broadcast on Vizion Plus, Prime Minister Berisha had already promised to look into the situation in the mine after an accident in September 2005 caused five deaths.
On June 25 2007, 21 workers went on hunger strike. Their protest was however, overshadowed by the upcoming presidential election in parliament, and did not receive much media coverage. The civil rights movement MJAFT decided to assist the miners in their protest, and to bring the issue to the nation's attention by organising demonstrations in Tirana. With MJAFT's help, the miners were bussed to Tirana, where they protested in front of a number of government buildings, including the prime minister's office. They spent two nights camping in the streets of Tirana, accompanied by MJAFT activists, and filmed by TV cameras. Finally their efforts met with success when the administration of the mine agreed to enter into negotiations.
While negotiations with Deca Metal Company were a step in the right direction, problems in Bulqiza continued. A MJAFT press release on August 14 2007 accused political parties of politicising the issue and condemned the local administration for exerting pressure on miners. The release followed the death of another miner, Zajmi Hysa, who had been the Secretary of the Bulqiza Miners' Union, and one of the organisers of the strike.
"During a press conference Elisa Spriropali (Mjaft!) said that "The death of the miner Hysa, the third within two months, is a clear indicator that this mine is in need of immediate intervention in terms of job conditions, safety measures and maintenance of the mine. This is the reason why the continuation of the talks with the Deca- Metal is crucial… Today's Mjaft! declaration was severe regarding the local administration in the Bulqiza mine and the local government. ."Mjaft! calls for the mine's local administration and the local government to immediately stop the inhumane pressure put upon locals and the miners in particular", stressed Spiropali during the press conference.
"Bulqiza is not your property", Spiropali told the local administration members."Any attempt to hold this town "hostage" with nepotism and illegal methods will fail. Bulqiza miners are confident of winning and will not give up."

Is the use of event signage through banners, plasmas, projectors, and LCDs becoming a thing of the past? Not necessarily. But as LED walls are getting more affordable and flexible, they are becoming the go-to product compared to traditional banners, plasmas and LCDs.
A well-designed and implemented event signage plan allows a brand, big or small, to stand out from the rest. An LED wall provides eye-catching visual cues with a flawless presentation. The wall's high-resolution panels allow content for events to be viewed clearly and in detail.
LED walls can be custom-constructed to deliver high-resolution content in a perfect form for events, meetings, nightclubs, concert venues, live stages, exhibit halls and public stages. They can also be used to draw desired attention to strategic messages or other important material.
They have become a lead product due to a reduced carbon footprint in comparison to old-fashioned printed materials. They also allow event professionals to easily change content on site.
LED walls have proven to be the choice in several different settings, due to their vibrant output working very well, both indoors and outdoors, compared to other mediums such as projectors being only 20 percent to 25 percent as bright.
Plenty of variation: LED walls have infinite uses for any event with a few being: interactive presentation tool, scenic design element, event welcoming, sponsor(s) recognition, directional display, branding and social media engagement.
The LED wall tends to be favored compared to other digital signage due to its ability to be constructed in various ways with its adequately sized panels, which are easily designed into different shapes. The panels effortlessly link together to form an extremely flat and seamless video wall. The LED wall's high-resolution screens allow viewers to be anywhere throughout a space, close or far from the screen(s), and still view high-quality images. The advancements in lightweight LED technology allow the LED wall to be easily transported in standard-size road cases and set up in as little as two hours. The LED wall can be ground-supported or rigged, allowing it to be set up as columns, large displays, or separated into several smaller displays.
Since pricing depends on multiple project variables, most companies create custom quotes for the LED wall and do not publish a general pricing rate.

The Disney Soda Fountain, adjacent to the Disney owned El Capitan theater, is like a small Disneyland outpost in Hollywood. Enter it and you could very well be in one of Disneyland's many shops where food, gifts and Disnified decor intermingle. The cramped space is divided about half and half between a gift shop and a soda fountain with a few tables. I had lunch at the Fountain a few weeks ago after watching a Tinkerbell movie at the El Capitan and expected the food to be roughly the same as the movie, recognizable and kid-friendly but overhyped and utterly unoriginal. On balance, I was about half right.
The food at the Fountain was uniformly bad. My French Dip was served on a roll that should have been parbaked but wasn't. The meat was sad and dry and the jus was little more than tepid salt-water. The pastrami sandwich was similarly uninspired with a few slices of deli pastrami on cold, supermarket-style rye bread. The hot dog was a lackluster Hebrew National.
But this is a fountain and they should really be judged on their fountain drinks. I figured there was some hope here, since at Disneyland, the sweets are nearly always better than the savories, but I was surprised at what I got.
I ordered a simple vanilla malt and what I got was a nearly flawless version of the classic specimen. The shake was thick but sippable through the straw, the malt was perfectly balanced with the ice cream, and yes, they even gave us that sadly endangered species, the metal cup with the overflow shake. Had they used home made whip cream instead of the can, it would have been perfect.
I wasn't expecting this milkshake to be so good partly because of the low quality of the food and partly because of the various absurd ice cream items on the menu, including various Disney themed toppings such as Mickey Mouse shaped sprinkles and Tinkerbell green marshmallow cream (which seems more akin to what you would get if you stepped on the fairy). I must say, though, that I'm now interested in trying some of their sundaes and other items.
The Fountain is usually packed after the more popular movies so avoid it as you're coming out of the latest Pixar release, and instead, go during show time, or better yet, take in a Tinkerbell movie.

DURHAM — Though Durham Fire Chief Corey Landry says he normally doesn't nominate just one individual from his hard-working department for any type of award, when he read the outline from the New Hampshire Grange Association for Firefighter of the Year, there was one name that came to mind.
"He's an in-house leader," Landry said of firefighter Dave Blatchford who, for his constant dedication and thoughtful innovation within the department, was presented the Grange award in October.
"It's just incredible what he's doing and what he's done," Landry said, noting Blatchford's humble nature.
According to its website, "the Grange is, and has long been, the strongest sustained organizational force working effectively toward attaining a good and full life for all citizens of rural America."
Blatchford was chosen from applicants across the state not only for his work within the department but the extra hours and commitment put in with programs such as FASTER, an educational safety program at Oyster River Middle School implemented by Blatchford.
"I didn't do it by myself. I couldn't have done it," Blatchford countered, crediting his fellow firefighters for helping him run such a popular program.
Though he was honored for his work in October at the Ashworth Hotel in Hampton with coworkers and family present, Blatchford was reluctant to take sole credit for the accomplishment.
"I don't look at it as a single person (accomplishing this)," he said.
When Landry first called, Blatchford thought his chief was pulling a prank.
"It didn't hit me til later," he said.
He also realized, he said, that all the hours, both on duty and volunteer, are truly recognized. He said for that, especially, he is thankful.
He returned the acknowledgment by sending a thank-you card to Landry.
Working with the university and maintaining a presence within the community is a big part of what the department does and the type of thing which Blatchford consistently takes part in.
"It's the little extra things each guy here does," he said.

We accept most dental insurance plans and will file claims on your behalf, saving you the time and hassle. We will tell you upfront what your insurance plan will pay for and offer options for taking care of any remaining balance.
We accept and honor most dental insurance plans. The following are just a few of the dental insurance carriers we're providers for:
Please call our office for more details at: (714) 845-8500
Treatment that is recommended by a dentist, is listed on the fee schedule, and accepted under the terms of your group's plan.
Treatment that is either not listed on your fee schedule or more than the minimum to restore the tooth back to its original function.
Indemnity or Traditional Insurance reimburses members or dentists at the dentist's UCR (Usual, Customary & Reasonable fee). This allows the subscriber to go to any dental office without being limited to a panel.
(Preferred Provider Organization) is the most common form of insurance. They provide members with a list of participating dentists to choose from. The dentists on this list have agreed to a lower fee schedule, which provides you with greater cost savings. They also assist with insurance billing. Most companies pay 50% on major treatment (crowns, bridges, partials), 80% for basic care (fillings), and up to 100% for preventative care (exams, x-rays, basic cleanings). Annual maximums generally range from $1,000 to $2,000.
Also known as capitated or prepaid insurance, was designed to provide members with basic care at the lowest rate. Participating providers receive a monthly capitation check for patients assigned to the office. This amount is only a few dollars and is intended to offset the administrative costs. HMOs generally don't pay for services rendered. Fees are usually greatly reduced, but the patient is solely responsible for paying the doctor.
