New Delhi (CNN) -- India's Ministry of Education on Wednesday revealed what it calls the least expensive computer tablet in the world: a device that costs 2,276 rupees, or less than $50.
To launch the tablet, Kapil Sibal, the minister of human resources and development, communications and information, gave a lofty speech in front of a crowd of students in New Delhi.
"There are some moments in history which will be milestones recognized by future generations. This is one such moment." Sibal said. "Today, we see the beginning of a dream realized; a dream in which every student in every corner of this country will have access to technology that defines the 21st century."
The device is called Aakash, which means "sky" in Hindi. It is the product of a joint venture between one of India's elite Institutes of Technology -- IIT Rajasthan -- and DataWind, the manufacturer that won the bid.
"Every vision has detractors. A lot of things were said about this project ... (that) it was simply impossible. But it wasn't just that others said it can't get done by Indians or in India. The worst was when people said we wish it wouldn't happen," said Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of DataWind.
But while the device is assembled in India, it is not completely made there. Roughly 40% of the parts come from South Korea, 25% from China, 16% from the United States and 16% from India.
Still, one student in the crowd remarked: "You cannot even get a touch screen phone at this price. People used to say only China can make such devices. We can now say yes, India is on par."
The idea was dreamed up by the Education Ministry through its National Mission on Education through Information and Technology (NME-ICT).
On the box, the gadget is not called a computer tablet but a "mobile Internet device." It uses Android technology and is light, 7 inches long, and has an HD screen. The ministry has put professors' lectures from IIT on the device, which can, of course, also play movies.
It does have a few drawbacks. It has Internet access only via Wi-Fi, and it has only 2 gigabytes of internal memory, but that can be boosted to 32 gigabytes with an SD card. The touch screen is not as sensitive as that of an iPad, so scrolling with fingers takes some real digging. The students quickly figured out that using a pen as a stylus worked better.
The Education Ministry admits the Aakash is not perfect, but it says it will improve on its product as it gets feedback from students.
In India, buying a new BlackBerry or an iPhone 4 will set you back from $500 to $700, and most people cannot afford a price anywhere near that. The Aakash would cater to many more people, but it is not for sale yet.
At this point, only 100,000 of the devices are in the manufacturing pipeline. The Education Ministry says it will send those to colleges in India's 33 states and territories. It is meant for the disadvantaged, not those who can buy any new gadget they want.
"[It's] for the benefit of students who do not have access to libraries." a government official said.
But at some point -- maybe in November -- the private company that helped complete the project may begin sales, but only in India for now.
This isn't the first time the country has surprised the world with an amazingly inexpensive product. In 2009, Tata Motors wowed critics with the world's cheapest car. The Tata Nano was priced at less than $2,500.
Those in India's Education Ministry say they dream of a day when students around the world are able to get their hands on an Aakash computer, because of its affordability. And the ministry and its partners are not done trying to bring down the price. The ultimate goal is to make a computer for just $10. They are on their way.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field squads will be back in competition at the Tennessee Challenge on Tennessee's campus after taking a week off for finals.
"We've had two weeks off, so we are pretty excited to get back to competition this weekend," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "Finals are over, which is nice."
With finals out of the way, the team will concentrate on improving their performances after experiencing several hardships their past two weekends of competitions.
While a good portion of the team will be at the Tennessee Challenge, several familiar faces will be absent from the competition.
"Most of our seniors won't be competing this weekend because of graduation, but the bulk of our team will compete," Taylor said. "It is a good prep for the post season."
Madi Talbert will be returning to Knoxville where she took third place in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the Tennessee Relays just three weeks ago.
Talbert also posted a new personal record in the 800 meters at the Kentucky Relays, in her last meet before the break.
Freshman Juan Gonzalez is looking to continue his streak of accomplishments after finishing first in the 5000 meters at the Kentucky Relays.
Gonzalez also broke the school record in the 5000 meters finishing in 14:30.22 at the San Francisco Distance Carnival the week before.
April Terry will be competing Saturday looking to better her skills in the hammer throw. Before the break for finals, Terry placed first in the hammer throw at the Boston-Moon Classic throwing for a length of 48.59 meters.
Gemikal Prude will test his efforts in the high jump with hopes of improving his best mark at 2.21 meters set at the Boston-Moon Classic.
Taylor is anxious to see where the team stands after the break.
Saturday will be the first competition of the outdoor season where the team will not be split between meets.

From one day to the other, my laptop with win7 stopped reacting to any input from mouse or keyboard. Its starts normally without errors, but at the startscreen it doesn't let me do anything. Wierd thing is that the fingerprint sensor still works. I checked the BIOS, USB is enabled and in the BIOS menu the keyboard works just fine. I also started with a linux live cd to check the partition for errors, everything seems to be ok. Google also didn't help me so far.
Any ideas what the reason for this may be and what i could do to repair it. I mean, I could just load a backup, but first I want to know what exactly went wrong(got me cuious ).
Thanks, Dahaar

Randy Travis, 'More Life' – Song Review
It's hard not to wonder if 'More Life' was chosen as a single from Randy Travis' 'Anniversary Collection' album to allow the singer a chance to respond to his recent brush with infamy. The introspective ballad finds Travis asking for forgiveness from those he has hurt. Is this another case of art birthed from real life?
Maybe. While the song was written in 2011, the conciliatory lyrics do work on a level greater than simply 'man sings song.' "Lately I think about the ones I might have hurt / And how easily I reasoned it away / What did I think it all was worth / 'Cause there's nothing that I own that I would not trade away," he sings during the second verse.
As usual, Travis is flawless vocally. The addition of Don Henley as a backup vocalist is a nice compliment, but it's far from the best pairing on his album of duets. The legend is somewhat limited by Nashville politics in choosing a single however, as most of the major stars he records with — Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson and Jamey Johnson — are signed with different labels, making it almost impossible to get permission to release their work as a single. Others on the compilation are covers of Travis' songs from earlier albums.
"More life, more time / More faith and the presence of mind / To breathe deeper, love stronger / Stay in the moment one moment longer / Less anger, less worry / More life," Travis bellows during the song's moving chorus.
Redemption songs by Randy Travis are like Jimmy Buffett songs about the beach. They're all pretty good, but after awhile, new additions fail to distinguish themselves from the old. Country radio would benefit from this singer's return to the airwaves, but it's doubtful to happen in 2012 with 'More Life.'

Kurt Russell for 'Fast & Furious 7'
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 September 2013
Kurt Russell appears to be in talks for a part in 'Fast and Furious 7', for his first major role since Quentin Tarantino's 2007 hit 'Death Proof'
Kurt Russell appears to be in talks for a part in 'Fast and Furious 7'.
The 62-year-old actor is reportedly in negotiations for the role that was originally offered to Denzel Washington, but it is not known who Russell will be playing, according to Variety.com.
He is the latest in a list of Hollywood A-Listers to be attached to James Wan-directed sequel since 'Ong Bak' star Tony Jaa, known for his skill in Thai martial arts, was confirmed for the cast.
Russell's last major role was in Quentin Tarantino's 2007 hit 'Death Proof', after which he kept a low profile.
Vin Diesel who plays lead character Dominic Toretto and Paul Walker who plays Brian O'Connerwill will be reprising their roles for the seventh film, with British actor Jason Statham joining the team to play a villain.
While details of the plot are not known yet it is confirmed that the cast will return to Los Angeles, where the original film took place.
'Fast and Furious 6', released in May this year, was a box office smash making $750million worldwide.

Texas Race Preview
Granite Stripe (2013, Ep. 36): Texas
Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson are deadlocked in a tie atop the Sprint Cup Series standings with just three races to go. The Granite Stripe previews which driver has the upper hand going into the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The race goes green Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
LISTEN to the Granite Stripe (2013, Ep. 36): Deadlocked Headed to Texas
Jonathan and Gavin discuss the tie atop the standings between Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth as the NSCS leaves Martinsville and heads to Texas.
SET your fantasy lineup with the preview: Deadlocked for Texas
The AAA Texas 500 likely won't decide a whole lot either, as the two drivers are 1-2 in career average finishes at the track among active drivers. There's a strong possibility that one of the two takes the points lead via a race win, but it's also likely that the other driver stays within striking distance, thanks to an impressive runner-up finish.
JOIN the debate with the Magic Mile Power Rankings
1. Matt Kenseth - To say that Sunday's performance was impressive is certainly an understatement. Coming into this season, Kenseth had led a total of 73 laps in 26 career starts at Martinsville. He led 96 in April and another 202 on Sunday. And, he finished ahead of Jimmie Johnson, who has led 2,450 laps in 24 starts at the half-mile oval.
LEARN why the No. 20 can with the championship with The Consistency of Kenseth
NASCAR champions don't have bad days, especially not in the Chase. The championship formula set forth by a certain five-time winner doesn't allow for that.

I can not even imagine these ideas before i read this. If i have my kid in the future, i could use them.
Emily Cardwell's curator insight, February 1, 2015 5:39 PM
I could use a graph like this with the question of the day, "How many days do you think it will take for the butterflies to hatch?" or "Do you think all the butterflies will look the same?"
Zaziceva's curator insight, May 25, 2014 10:24 PM
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
I've always loved their work!
Emily Cardwell's curator insight, February 1, 2015 5:40 PM
Students could draw the different stages of the process of caterpillars changing to butterflies.
Adela Jane's comment, February 2, 2015 4:11 AM
As a teacher to teach English as second langage, it is very important to know some ways to encourage and motivate students in learning the knowledge.
Emily Cardwell's curator insight, February 1, 2015 5:42 PM
Instead of going on an "up" walk, we could go on a walk to spot butterflies! There is a huge butterfly bush planted near our play ground that we could explore.
Emily Cardwell's curator insight, February 1, 2015 5:46 PM
In order for preschoolers to grasp the idea that all butterflies have different patterns, we could ask them to paint half of a piece of paper- folding it in half afterwards to show that the paint transfers to the other side of the page. Then cut out the paper in shape of a butterfly. Students can compare and contrast their butterfly to their classmates.

To the best of our knowledge this doesn't actually exist yet, but it seems scientists are getting closer every day. Researchers at the University of Zurich had volunteers inhale the peptide oxytocin before investing in a faux transaction. The group that took the oxytocin turned out to trust the fake investment bankers more than the group with a placebo, proving oxytocin's ability to enhance trust in human relationships.

Xbox 360 Faceplate Contest Ends
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Announcements, Xbox 360,
You know, I enjoy giving away items on Gear Live and Playfeed. Of course, there are those who are just in it for purely selfish reasons who can't imagine that things may sometimes get in the way. Of course, these are usually the young-un's. Nonetheless, we have a winner. We don't like to post results until after we have contacted the winner, and heard back from them. The reasoning behind this is that many people sign up for giveaways using fake email addresses. How, then, are we to contact you to send your prize? I digress. The winner, after 2 unsuccessful attempts to contact the original winner, is one Phil Kefer. Enjoy the faceplate with which you will have nothing to affix to for the next six months.

SCOTTeVEST Spoofs iPod Commercials
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wearables,
One of our favorite tech companies here at Gear Live is SCOTTeVEST. They make plenty of high quality, functional clothing items geared towards the gadget enthusiast. In fact, on this trip to New York that I am currently on, the SCOTTeVEST was one of the essential items that I packed. Anyways, they just made their own dancing commercial spoofing the all-so-common Apple iPod ads. I thought it was quite funny the first time around.

512MB Graphics Memory Pulls Upset
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Turns out that 512MB of graphics memory actually does make a difference over 256MB of memory. Bigger is better, right? It was thought that 512MB was not needed for today's specifications, however, under a lot of stress and really pushing the cards to the limit, the performance increase is seen. It's time to save up to buy one of these little suckers.

Yahoo! Mindset Search
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: News,
A quick note about a new Yahoo! product to be aware of. Yahoo! is now testing their Mindset "intent-driven" search tool. It basically works in a way that allows you to tweak your results by moving a slider between informational and commercial-driven results. Here is an example:
A search for the term "iPod" normally brings Apple's iPod homepage to the top of the results. If I slide the scale all the way over to shopping, the results change giving me a site called Happy Shopping. If I slide it over to the research side, I get iPodLounge as my top result.
What makes this so interesting is that if this takes off, it will makes your site a bit easier to find - whether it is an informational or commercial venture. Happy Shopping would never appear in the top 10 search results for the term "iPod" - let alone number one. However, if a consumer wants to buy an iPod, Yahoo! recognizes that they would get a good deal from Happy Shopping, and places them at the top.

Google Update Bourbon Reaking Havoc?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: News,
If you have recently seen your Google PageRank go AWOL, do not worry. Google is in the midst of a mass update on their internal database, which apparently includes some 3.5 million updates. From the Google Guy himself:
Here's the advice that I'd give now: take a break from checking ranks for several more days. Bourbon includes something like 3.5 improvements in search quality, and I believe that only a couple are out so far. The 0.5 will go out in a day or so, and the last major change should roll out over the next week or so. Then there will still be some minor changes after that as well. So my "weather report" along the lines of http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000095.html would be a recommendation that rankings may still change somewhat over the next several days.
Now, there is no guarantee that you will not see a drop in your PageRank. What he is saying is that things may be erratic over the next week or so. Just keep doing what you are doing to get your name out there, and you should (hopefully) be fine.

A company called SoftwareAdsNow.com is using another company, RegNow, to feed affiliate advertisements for software programs to your site AdSense style. You sign up for an affiliate ID, and that ID is thusly inserted into all ads displayed on your website. You can configure the stylistic appearance of the ads, as well as categories of software that you would or would not like to have appear. Of course, you will only earn a commission based on the sales - not clicks. Still, it is an interesting hybrid of two popular money-earning models.

Gigabyte's Quad SLI Motherboard
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: PC / Laptop,
Why have two graphics cards on your system when you can have four? Working on the principle that bigger is better, Gigabyte is working on producing a motherboard that will support four video cards instead of just two. One video card can be expensive, two cards can be twice as expensive, now four? There's no word yet on if it will be offered to consumers upon completion, or what the price may be. One thing that is certain - performance does not come cheap.

When people we know die, the feeling of sadness we experience is often joined by other emotions, including regret. Who hasn't regretted not talking more with their grandparents about their childhoods, their first loves, their heartaches, their triumphs?
Hearing about their experiences not only bonds us more closely to the people we love and admire, but it provides us with second-hand life experiences that can guide us when we happen upon similar situations.
As valuable as this guidance is in your personal life, it can be just as important in your business life. That's why veterans in any industry are important. These people can offer valuable insights based on their years of experience.
The fitness industry lost a lot of valuable insights over the last two months with the deaths of three industry veterans who each had a hand in shaping the fitness industry: Jack LaLanne, Dale Dibble and Tim Richards.
LaLanne was the best known of the three, but this former club owner, author and TV fitness personality would undoubtedly agree that Dale Dibble, former co-owner of Cedardale Health & Fitness and co-founder of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), and Tim Richards, owner of the Orchard Hills Athletic Club and co-founder of IHRSA, also were important people to the fitness industry.
Both Dibble and Richards shared LaLanne's enthusiasm for fitness and for making people healthier. They both grew their one club from a tennis facility to a large multipurpose facility at a time when they didn't have many examples to follow. They became the examples. They weathered the ups and downs of their local economies and the national economy. They survived competitors. They changed with the times. These men were seasoned and had lessons to share. And what's most important is that they loved to share that knowledge with anyone who asked.
The industry is full of veterans like these. Their experiences are invaluable. And for the most part, they are from a generation that is open about sharing because along with being businesspeople, they are fitness people. Their main goal is to work with others to get people fit, and their secondary goal is to make money. That's a bit different from some newer club operators whose main goal is to make money with the side result of possibly making some people fit. (Although the latter group possesses valuable business knowledge the industry must tap into.)
If your main goal is to bring fitness and a healthy lifestyle to as many people as you possibly can, you must get to know some of these veterans and soak up all the knowledge they are willing to share. We've run a few articles in which we've tapped into the wisdom of veterans, but perhaps the best way to gain from their experience is to call one, ask for their advice or even ask them to mentor you. Industry roundtable groups also are wonderful opportunities to learn from the experience of veteran operators. And, of course, conferences allow you to network with these people.
So stop isolating yourself and take advantage of the knowledge and experience this industry's veterans are so willing to offer. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be able to teach them a few new tricks.

Paris Fashion Week By the Numbers
While the dust settles on a doozy of a Paris Fashion Week, we're scrambling to take stock of it all. Perhaps, some simple arithmetic will do the trick? Add up the freshest looks, subtract most Kimye references (#nodisrespecttobenaffleck), multiply our love for Broadway-worthy fashion shows, et voila: Paris S/S 14!

Amid calls for more diversity on the runways, Owens skipped the usual casting session with 5'11", size 2 models and instead booked members of four college step teams. Staring down the crowd with their fiercest "grit faces"(expressions intended to intimidate the competition), the women delivered an exhuberant performance of pounding, percussive dance moves that galvanized the jaded fashion flock.
Check out a video of the full show here

Two topless members of the Ukrainian protest group, Femen, burst onto the Nina Ricci runway, causing a brief melee before being wrestled offstage by a handsy security guard. Protesting, well, we're not exactly sure what, one woman had scrawled "model don't go to brothels" across her torso while the other opted for a bit of word play with "fashion dictaterror." A look at Femen's website reveals bare-chested activism is their schtick. In other words, perhaps the mammary gland is the message?

It's official. Spring's It sandal is the flat platform (ahem, again). We counted no less than ten collections— including Dries Van Noten, Chloe, and Sacai (pictured)—that featured the shoe. And that, of course, was just in Paris. New York designers like Tibi and Rag & Bone also seem to have developed a (flat) foot fetish.

'Twas the seasons for elaborate set designs, but Givenchy's still managed to stand out from the pack. In homage to the show's theme—a "crash" of cultures—designer Riccardo Tisci erected a five-car collision as the runway centerpiece. Of course, given the context, a modest junk heap of, say, Pontiac Azteks, would not do. Rather, Tisci styled a smoking snarl of vintage Jaguars, Mercedes, and BMWs. The impressive installation almost stole the spotlight from Kim Kardashian's front-row cleavage. Almost.
Photo:Pat McGrath Instagram
Backstage at Givenchy meanwhile, makeup artist Pat McGrath and her team spent a whopping 12 hours encrusting the faces of models with rhinestones, sequins, and the occasional scrap of netting. While McGarth's genius here is undeniable, the models also deserve some serious credit. We can barely sit still for a full episode of Homeland…
Photo:Eva Chen Instagram
Given her former gig as the Beauty Director of Teen Vogue, we always knew Chen was something of a product junkie, but the degree of her devotion is really next level. The items pictured are the contents of only one of the cosmetics bag she packed, one out of three. In other words, Chen is like a walking Sephora—impressive, to say the least!

A major Azzedine Alaia retrospective at the Palais Galliera in the Musée de la Mode opened just in time to upstage Paris Fashion Week all together. "It's beyond words—really brilliant," Grace Coddington told the press of the exhibit, which features 70 designs (all hand-made) culled from personal collections. For his part, Alaia was so enthusiastic about the show that he skipped a S/S 14 presentation and instead devoted his time to restoring all the pieces to mint condition.

Let the Muppets have Manhattan, Paris has been overrun by a far chicer species of beast. Meet the Fendi Monsters ($700): adorable fur charms seen dangling from designer bags up and down the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Despite their hefty price tags, these little guys seem to be going fast, so if you want to score one on this side of the pond, you'd be wise to act now.

The Brit beauty was by far the most ubiquitous face on the Paris S/S 14 runways, with Chanel, Valentino, Stella McCartney, and Saint Laurent all requesting her services. However, it was her turn opening Marc Jacob's epic (and final) Louis Vuitton show that cemented her next-big-thing status.
Photo:Michel Dufour/WireImage
Dusting off his famous flair for theatrics, Jean Paul Gaultier staged his show as a TV-style dance competition, with models busting a move before a panel of fussy judges. Coca Rocha did her best Danny Zuko impression (which was actually pretty good) in a Grease sendup, Joan Smalls swayed to the rhumba, and Hannelore Knuts got pulses racing with a sexy tango. But it was Karlie Kloss who stole the show with a Vogue-ing number that spotlighted her Amazonian physique.

Last season's Kenzo sweatshirt craze continued its street style reign—although Celine double-face cashmere dresses and Nike high-tops also made multiple appearances—with the ubiquitous Tiger Marls ($294) joining forces with the newer K ($260) and Eye ($275) prints. An on-trend piece that doubles as a comfy, couch-surfing staple? Sign us up.

We're all for a nude lip and hint of blush real life, but on the runway, we crave bold, out-of-the-box beauty. Kudos to Chanel's makeup artist, Peter Philips, for giving it to us vis-à-vis dramatic brushstroke eyes in bright pigments. And honorable mention goes to Christian Dior's gold lame brows and Comme des Garcons' tar-smudged lips. We're not likely to attempt either look anytime soon, but we've filed them under "gorgeous inspiration."

Background matching
Most people associate camouflage with colouration and patterning that resembles the environment in which an animal is found. This means that prey or predators may often overlook an individual unless searching very thoroughly. Animals that lie on the sea bed often have a sand-like colouration and pattern, for example the eastern angel shark, while forest species such as the kakapo often have mottled and green or brown colouration to match the lighting and colours of the habitat.
Many species in cool or seasonal habitats have different summer and winter colouration to reflect the changing environment. For example, the snowshoe hare has a white coat in winter to camouflage itself against the snow, but has a brown coat in spring and summer when white would make it very obvious.
Some animals take this form of camouflage to the extreme and may be transparent or semi-transparent which allows them to blend into the background in different habitats or from many perspectives.
Disruptive camouflage
A different way in which an animal's pattern and colouring can conceal it from predators, or allow it to trick prey, is disruptive camouflage. This form of camouflage involves a pattern of light and dark patches, stripes or spots, which often appear to make the individual more obvious, not less. However, these patterns can help to disrupt the outline or shape of the animal, which can prevent an observer from recognising it as a threat or potential prey item. For example, the stripes of a tiger or the pattern of a camouflage grouper can make it harder to see the animal's outline.
Another way for an animal to avoid being recognised is to mimic the appearance of another object or species. For instance, many animals mimic the appearance of background material such as dead leaves. An excellent example of this type of mimicry is the satanic leaf-tailed gecko. Other animals mimic dangerous species, for example the wasp hoverfly looks similar in appearance to a wasp and the cuckoo may mimic the Eurasian sparrowhawk. Some species even mimic behaviour as well as appearance. For example, some stick insects and mantises sway to look like sticks moving in the wind, although this motion may also help them to see prey.
Adaptive camouflage
Background matching camouflage can sometime be quite restrictive. For instance, if an individual moves from one habitat to another it may no longer blend into the background. Some species get around this problem with active or adaptive camouflage, changing their colour, pattern, shape and texture in response to their environment and needs.
Chameleons are well known for being able to change their colour and pattern within minutes using pigments in their skin. However, cuttlefish, squid, octopuses, and flounders probably have some of the best active camouflage. Changing colours and patterns almost instantly, they can even create moving flashing displays on their skin. This ability is not only used to camouflage the individual, but is also used in communication.
Octopuses are so flexible that they can combine mimicry with this active camouflage, allowing them to take both the shape and colour of objects around them.
Other types of camouflage
Motion dazzle
One problem with many of the other camouflage mechanisms is that once an individual moves it becomes easy to see. However, motion dazzle camouflage, which uses light and dark patterns and stripes, may be able to disguise the direction, speed, or size of a moving animal and help to prevent its capture. One group of animals often said to use motion dazzle camouflage is zebras, although there are also many other suggestions for the reasons behind the zebra's striped pattern. Another species that may use motion dazzle camouflage is the adder, whose zig-zag pattern and quick movements may make it harder to catch.
A number of species use countershading as a form of camouflage, which typically involves the animal being darker on top and paler underneath. This helps an animal to blend in with a darker background such as the ground or sea floor when viewed from above, or to blend in with the paler, brighter sky when viewed from below.

Saturday night at the Red & Black Showcase at the University of Georgia's Jack Turner Stadium in Athens.
The Lady Bisons lost 2-0 earlier in the day to Illinois State. The Lady Bisons are 1-3 to start the season and face No.3-rated Georgia Sunday afternoon at 2 in the tournament finale.
In the Maryland game Mollie Mitchell led off the second inning with a single to center. Vanessa Medina popped out on a bunt attempt. Haley Elliott hit a single to center that was mishandled by the Maryland center fielder. Mitchell scored on the error and Elliott advanced to third, but the next two batters were out to end the inning.
With one out in the fourth Mitchell walked. Medina then blasted a two-run shot over the left field fence to give the Lady Bisons a 3-0 lead. It was the first home run of the season for the Lady Bisons in four games.
Freshman J.J. Nelson started on the mound for the Lady Bisons and threw three shutout innings before giving up four runs in the bottom of the fourth.
After giving up three singles she walked in three runs and allowed another to score on an illegal pitch to give Maryland the lead at 4-3.
With two outs in the inning Whitney Kiihnl replaced Nelson on the mound. In 2.1 innings Kiihnl struck out five.
The Lady Bisons made one last challenge in the seventh when Breanna Thurman singled to left with two outs.
Saturday afternoon the Lady Bisons spotted Illinois State two runs in the first inning. Those would be the only runs scored by either team as the Lady Bisons fell 2-0. It was the second time the Lady Bisons had been shut out in the tournament.
Kiihnl was on the mound for the Lady Bisons. She struck out six and scattered four hits. She did not walk a batter.
Both Kiihnl and third baseman Rena' Cothron committed errors in the first inning. Caiti Kopp slammed a double to left field that scored two runners. Both runs were unearned.
Kiihnl, Courtney Billington, Caroline Mason and Thurman each had hits for the Lady Bisons.
Megan Warner went the route for Illinois State. She struck out eight and walked two.
Kara Nelson had two hits in the game for Illinois State.
The Lady Bisons close out day two of the tournament with meeting with Maryland this evening.
Sunday is the final day of the tournament with the Lady Bisons expected to face host Georgia at approximately 2 p.m.

A fun, self-initiated design project that explores how Flickr can evolve and bring unique value to the online photo community.

Georgia Teachers Go Way Above and Beyond By the Call of Duty By Offering Free Tutoring This Summer [VIDEO]
Even after an $89 million budget cut forced the Gwinnett County school system in Georgia to cut 600 jobs, some teachers there are so dedicated that they're now volunteering their time to tutor kids for free.
Every Wednesday this summer between 8 a.m. and noon, teachers from the Benefield Elementary School in Lawrenceville, GA are gathering at the school library to offer free reading help to anyone who needs it.
So far, about 100 families have shown up for each session.
Karon Stocks, a teacher at the school who spearheaded the effort, said, "We have about 40 to 45 teachers … I think it's really important that the (kids) not just be on the computer or watching TV."
Watch a story about the program below.

git clone -b "simple-multi-node" https://github.com/CiscoSystems/folsom-manifests ~/folsom-manifests/
cp ~/folsom-manifests/manifests/* /etc/puppet/manifests
Optional: If you have your set up behind a proxy, you should export your proxy configuration:
export http_proxy=http://proxy.esl.cisco.com:80 export https_proxy=https://proxy.esl.cisco.com:80
Optional: If your set up is in a private network and your build node will act as proxy server, you need to add the corresponding NAT and forwarding configuration.
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Customizing your environment
Under the manifests folder you will find these three files: - site.pp - cobbler-node.pp - clean_node.sh
IMPORTANT! You must edit these files. They are fairly well documented, but please comment with questions. You can also read through these descriptions: Cobbler Node and Site
Then 'puppet apply' it:
puppet apply -v /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
I recommend a reboot at this point, as it seems that the puppetmaster doesn't restart correctly otherwise.
And now you should be able to load up your cobbled nodes:
./clean_node.sh {node_name} example.com
or if you want to do it for all of the nodes defined in your cobbler-node.pp file:
for n in `cobbler system list`; do clean_node.sh $n example.com ; done
note: replace example.com with your nodes proper domain name.
Testing OpenStack
Once the nodes are built, and once puppet runs (watch /var/log/syslog on the cobbler node), you should be able to log into the openstack horizon interface:
http://ip-of-your-control-node/horizon/ user: admin, password: Cisco123 (if you didn't change the defaults in the site.pp file)
you will still need to log into the console of the control node to load in an image: user: localadmin, password: ubuntu. If you SU to root, there is an openrc auth file in root's home directory, and you can launch a test file in /tmp/nova_test.sh.

It can be difficult to answer that question, since cross-vent and naturally ventilated barns are often managed differently. Questions surrounding production, heat stress and reproductive rates can often be compared in a general sense. But questions by veterinarians about pneumonia and respiratory health are more difficult to answer because of record-keeping disparities among herds. Bonus Content Much more on cross-ventilated barns Cross-vents come out... Net $100 more per cow Two barns, two approaches MilkSource.com Cross Ventilation John Vosters, vice-president and livestock manager for MilkSource, which milks 22,000 cows at five locations in central and eastern Wisconsin, is in a unique position to answer these questions. MilkSource milks thousands of cows in each type of barn, using similar management systems and centralized record keeping. As a result, Vosters can readily compare each system's pros and cons. Cross-vent pros: Heat stress is less pronounced in cross-vents. In the summer, MilkSource uses cooling pads on the air inlet side of the buildings, which cool the air as it's drawn across the building. "There are fewer peaks and valleys in production in the cross-vents," Vosters says. "We'll generally see a milk drop of 3 lb. to 4 lb. per cow per day in the cross-vents during hot weather," he says. "In the naturally ventilated barns, it's often 9 lb. to 10 lb. per cow per day." Respiratory events such as pneumonia are about half those of naturally ventilated barns. Conception rates are almost always higher in cross-vent barns. "Heat stress is definitely a drag on breeding in naturally ventilated barns," Vosters says. "We will catch up on our pregnancies in the fall, but that creates a roller coaster in numbers in our cow calving groups. The cross-vents are much more consistent." Water on feed lane floors is lower in cross-vent barns because the cooling pads reduce the need for sprinklers. In naturally ventilated barns, sprinklers keep the floors wet much of the summer. As a result, naturally ventilated barns have more issues with foot health. The extra water used for cooling eventually drains into the manure system, which can add thousands of gallons of water that must be pumped or hauled away. Cross-vent cons: Cross-vent barns have higher operating costs. Some ventilation fans must run continually, even in winter, to keep air moving. Each barn has about 20 2-hp pumps that move water through the cooling systems, resulting in higher electrical costs. "Cooling pads take weekly maintenance," Vosters adds. "In summer, we drain the systems once a week to make sure none of the water lines are plugged. And we wash the pads monthly to ensure air movement." Cooling is less effective during times of high humidity because the cooling pads are trying to add water to air that is already heavily laden with moisture. Cross-vent barns look like big warehouses. From a public relations perspective, consumers might view the structures as less cow friendly. Bottom line: When asked what his next barn will be, Voster's answer is immediately: "Cross-vent."

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Despite huge mounds of rubble where buildings once stood and an estimated 800,000 people living in overcrowded and squalid tent settlements in the most devastated parts of the city, a sense of normalcy has returned to Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital.
The evidence?
Traffic galore, streets crowded with pedestrians going about their business and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of merchants who have set up curbside shops in an effort to eke out a living.
In the weeks after the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, the congestion on the streets was seen as a good sign. It meant petroleum products were starting to get through and people were at least getting back to their routines. But one thing that was missing was the merchants.
Only a few had set up their stands selling clothing, street food, fresh fruit and vegetables, drinks, cosmetics and toiletries within a month of the magnitude 7 quake. These days, merchants seem to have taken over the every major thoroughfare as well as many side streets — some with approval of the city government and some not.
With the capacity of the Port-au-Prince government diminished by the earthquake because offices were destroyed and workers killed, there is limited ability to make sure that anyone who goes into business at least gets a cursory review. Nowadays if someone wants to make a few Haitian gourds, they simply set up a street-side shop and hope enough customers stop by to pick up their daily necessities.
To a certain extent it means the entrepreneurial spirit is strong. It means people have overcome the shock that washed over this overwhelmingly poor nation 14 months ago.
At the same time, with so many merchants trying to scratch out even a meager living, one wonders if the local economy can support so many businesses. There was only so much money in the Haitian economy before the quake. With unemployment still languishing perhaps as high as 80 percent, there's hardly enough money percolating through the economy for all the merchants to survive.
But such is the Haitian way. It's a society built on hope that a better day is ahead and that Haitians are willing to try anything to bring it closer.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is seeking comment on a draft international mobile roaming standard to prevent bill shock when consumers are overseas.
The standard proposed by the ACMA would include alerts being sent to consumers when they are overseas to alert them that they are roaming; information on call and data usage costs for global roaming, with information country-specific; tools for consumers to monitor their global roaming usage; and options for consumers to decline using mobile services overseas.
"These measures are all aimed at reducing bill shock, where consumers who use a mobile device overseas can face unexpected high charges upon their return," Chris Chapman, ACMA chairman, said in a statement.
"These charges can run into hundreds or thousands of dollars for only a limited period of overseas use, as costs accrue not only for calls and texts but, increasingly, high data usage as 'ever on' smartphones become more prevalent."
ACMA is seeking comment on how much it would cost for the industry to adopt any proposed changes.
The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) revealed today that consumer complaints about mobile roaming charges have dropped, but the disputed amounts for complaints are increasing, with one customer lumped with a $147,908 bill after a European holiday.
In August this year, Senator Stephen Conroy, communications minister, tasked the ACMA with implementing an international mobile roaming standard.
Submissions for comment on the draft standard are due by 25 January next year.
The ACMA must develop a standard by May 2013.

Many economists believe that reporting the number employed as a percentage of the civilian population provides a more accurate description of the current state of employment than conjecturing the number of "unemployed" in a population. The US employment to population ratio reached an historical peak of 64.4% on an annual basis in 2000.
*The BLS defines employment and population (civilian noninstitutional) as follows:
Employment consists of all persons who, during the reference week (the calendar week including the twelfth day of the month), (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family, or (b) were not working but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs.... The civilian noninstitutional population consists of persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities and homes for the aged) and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics

Will it work with AT&T's U-verse router/modem tower?
I haven't been able to set up my current Lynksys router with it and would definitely buy this if it can override ATT's router.
- Asked by fn from Atlanta
AirPort Extreme
Product No Longer Available

Best Answer:
I'm successfully using a previous-generation AirPort Extreme with a U-Verse combo modem/router and my experience might be useful. You have two options:
1) You can set up the AirPort in bridge mode, which will let the AT&T device handle the network services. The advantage of this is that it's easy and you can still use the other ports on your U-Verse modem. The disadvantage is that you don't get to use any of the management features or UPnP (automatic tunneling configuration) of the AirPort.
2) You can set the U-Verse modem to IP Passthrough mode (under the Firewall section of its config screen), in "manual" passthrough mode, and manually configure the AirPort to have whatever IP address your U-Verse modem is getting (even if you're not paying for a static IP address, it doesn't seem to ever change). The advantage of this is that the AirPort handles all the routing and configuration, as well as UPnP; the U-Verse router is JUST acting as a modem. The disadvantage is that you can't use any of the other network ports on the U-Verse modem if you need more than the 3 extra the AirPort provides.
Theoretically the U-Verse modem has a passthrough mode where it is supposed to give out the external address via DHCP to either a specific MAC address or the first device that asks, which would make configuration of #2 above easier, but this simply does not work on mine; the AirPort never gets the IP address. Only manual worked.
Note that in both of the above, you also want to disable the modem's wireless entirely, since AirPort will be handling that; the modem would just be causing interference by broadcasting nearby.

Yes, you simply, connect the ethernet from the UVerse Modem, to the Yellow color coded ethernet port on the Airport Extreme.
Then run the Airport Utility application, on your Mac, iPad, iPhone, or web based interface, is there for the techies.
Im really happy with the range, and incredible speed gains, using this new AP Extreme, and to my only 802.11ac device, the new Mac Book Air.
- Answered by Vincent D from Soquel
I used the second scenario suggested by Marc and it worked like a charm.
1. Put the U-verse modem in MANUAL pass through mode and that was it, every thing else came together on its own. I did not have to enter my AE mac address when I put the U-verse modem in manual mode (it disabled the field).
2. Went back and turned the wifi function off on the U-verse modem. Now my AE is sending out the signal and handling all my home network functions.
- Answered by Juwan W from Leesburg
Not really...
AT&T Uverse uses a 2Wire Gateway (modem + wireless router) which is required for any aspect of their Uverse service. It must provide the routing for your network. Now, you can set up the Airport Extreme (AE) to be in "bridged mode" which means you don't have the AE doing any routing at all and it's more or less just a wireless access point, but that means you're still managing your network via the 2Wire.
Moreover, it worked just fine in bridge mode over my hardwired gigabit network at full bandwidth, however it cut down from 35mbps to 1mbps consistently when connected wirelessly no matter how close or far you are from the AE and regardless of what device you use (laptop, iOS, etc).
Finally, I went out and bought an Airport Express to rule out a bad wifi chip...same results.
So yes, it works wired but wifi, not so much. I ended up cancelling Uverse internet (kept TV) and grabbed Comcast for the internet all so I can have my Airport Extreme be the ruler of my network.
- Answered by Jesse R from Kalamazoo
I just purchased an Apple AirPort Extreme, so I'm assuming it's a newer model. My Internet provider is AT&T U-Verse and I have an older 2Wire modem/wireless router. Initially, I had planned to purchase a Wi-Fi Extender because I didn't want to deal with the firewall/DMZ issues. But, the folks at Best Buy convinced me otherwise.
I couldn't find the "manual" option on the modem's configuration control page that is discussed in this thread, so I didn't change any of that. I just followed Apple's instructions; plugged in all the devices then plugged in the AP Extreme. I used the AirPort app on my iPhone to configure it. Piece of cake! Pure Plug&Play.
I thought about disabling the old Wi-Fi signal, but with so many friends and family that have connected already, I decided to keep it active. There is good distance between the old and new routers, so the interference shouldn't be any worse than my neighbors' wi-fi signals. That said, I did create a guest account on the new device and will wean people off the old as time goes on.
Now to work on the 5Ghz set-up :-)
- Answered by Douglas R from San Francisco
I couldn't find the bridge mode in my modem's settings, but I just disabled the wifi and the Airport Extreme seemed to take over just fine.
- Answered by Bill M from Republic
If you put the u-verse router into bridge mode it should work. I would contact att first to verify they allow there routers to be put into bridge mode as some carriers have those options in the firmware but they have terms of service where you have to use only there hardware unless you buy it from them.
