UTDesign's New Program to Stir Children's Interest in STEM Fields
Patrick McCrane (center, left), director of tax development at Intuit, and Rod Wetterskog, assistant dean for the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, look over the shoulders of UTDesign students Vincent Thieu and Jerry Benavides.
UT Dallas computer science and engineering students are helping launch a program designed to fire up interest in the STEM fields among area K-12 students.
STEMfire aims to nurture a pipeline of young students in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields and prepares them for college and careers at technology corporations.
The project will be implemented by school districts in the North Texas area and corporate members of the Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC) in the fall.
STEMfire is sponsored by MTBC, a technology trade association that works with more than 300 companies in the Richardson Telecom Corridor.
MTBC approached the University in fall 2012 to work with UTDesign, a partnership in which corporate sponsors can tap the brainpower of senior engineering and computer science students who need to complete a capstone design project. STEMfire is one of 58 such projects under way during the spring 2014 semester.
Keith Bryan, vice chair of the MTBC Talent Team, was director of strategy and planning for Cisco Systems when STEMfire was in its initial stages of development. The MTBC was anticipating a 40 percent growth in technology companies in the future, Bryan said.
"This has been a need for high-tech corporations for four decades. One of the missing pieces has been the ability to connect companies that want to engage with area schools to help motivate the next generation of STEM-minded students. STEMfire will meet this need."
"We were falling short already. We knew that to stay ahead of the game, our technology companies in North Texas would need more high-tech individuals to be entering the STEM fields," Bryan said. "We needed a 'farm team' that would help develop a pipeline of talent."
At the same time, MTBC member corporations knew that many students who were beginning their college careers were not prepared for higher-level math and science classes.
Through the STEMfire program, corporate mentors will help teachers engage students earlier in understanding why elements of math, such as fractions and statistics, are essential to success in the STEM fields.
UTDesign students are building the software matchmaking function for STEMfire. The project will take requests from school districts and then match them with technology companies willing to provide mentors with work-world experience to be guest lecturers, seminar leaders, science project judges, industry tour guides and career mentors for area students.
"STEMfire will connect local high-tech company volunteers to school teachers, to motivate their students to explore and discover STEM careers, embrace project-based learning, take the right science and math courses, and build mentor relationships that will help them succeed as they continue their academic career," said Rod Wetterskog, assistant dean for the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.
For each UTDesign project, four students put in about 10 hours a week, or enough to cover a full-time intern's work. Each team has a corporate mentor.
UT Dallas computer science students began working on STEMfire a year ago. This spring, engineering students will tweak the program to make it "graphically inviting," Wetterskog said.
Schools and corporate mentors will be able to register this spring for STEMfire. The fall 2014 pilot program will involve six schools in the Richardson, Plano, McKinney, Irving, Frisco and Wylie school districts.
"This has been a need for high-tech corporations for four decades," Wetterskog said. "One of the missing pieces has been the ability to connect companies that want to engage with area schools to help motivate the next generation of STEM-minded students. STEMfire will meet this need."
"Having corporate volunteers introduce a range of STEM professions in the classroom will encourage younger students to pursue those much-needed fields."
Twenty-one UT Dallas students have developed the five software modules for STEMfire. These modules help companies register as participants; guide them in completing a corporate profile of skills offered; allow teachers to list their classroom needs; enable both corporations and school districts to search for a match; and provide a connection between the two.
Students used the Ruby on Rails software program to develop STEMfire's registration, search and connection modules. Eventually, the program will process nationwide requests.
Jesse Harrison, a computer science senior, worked on the coding for the STEMfire website. He added the functionality to the buttons on the graphical user interface template to allow the proper information to be submitted after each sign-up step.
"It helped me see what it was like to work in a team environment and to handle continuous communication with our corporate sponsor. I learned that I want to code," Harrison said.
"Having corporate volunteers introduce a range of STEM professions in the classroom will encourage younger students to pursue those much-needed fields," he said.
"Personally, I did not start coding until college. I had never been introduced to it before," he said. "As soon as I discovered coding, I fell in love with it; but, I think that if I had been introduced to coding at a younger age, I could have improved while I was younger."

A dedicated Deadspin reader, known around here as Malik Sealy Dirt Mattress, made it to San Antonio this weekend to see the finale to the Southwest Regional. Out on Saturday night, he and a friend spotted somewhat known-person Ryan Kopacsi, the gyrating director of the VCU pep band and — as Out Sports carefully documented (NSFW) — a former male underwear model. Mr. DirtyMattress shares his story below [sic'd]:
We were at the famous Dirty Nelly's for Guinness' when we decided to rip some nightcap shots at this bar: The Republic of Texas. We walk in and the dance floor is pretty active - with VCU pep band kids. My friend and I recognized this character right away and the first pic I snapped of him was the hilarious mid fist pump (is it still 2009?) He was holding a beer - pretty sure Tecate and seemed pretty lit... I guess as goofy as he is, he wasn't half the mouth-breathing animals the actual band members were. VCU's fans as a whole were pretty, uh, eclectic - but I'll take eclectic over smarmy entitled Kansas fans.
An open see-through shirt, a Tecate, and a fist-pump. The legend of Ryan Kopacsi begins and ends here.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. We hope you had a lovely Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) - From delicate purple skirts to thigh-high boots in lizard, New York Fashion Week opened Thursday with an anything goes vibe for fall.
NEW YORK (AP) � From delicate purple skirts to thigh-high boots in lizard, New York Fashion Week opened Thursday with an anything goes vibe for fall.
The first of eight days of previews included lots of options from Richard Chai and BCBG Max Azria.
"The trend is freedom," said Azria, who sent embroidered tunics, fur outerwear and delicate lingerie-style underpinnings down his runway.
Chai focused on women's metallic military jackets and slim, ladylike purple skirt suits with man-tailored shirts underneath. Men shared the runway dressed in plaid suits and lean overcoats.
In addition to seasonal greens, berry tones and regal blues popped up on catwalks set up at Lincoln Center and around the city.
More than 100 shows are planned through Feb. 14 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week drawing editors, retailers, stylists and bloggers. The hordes shift to London, Milan and Paris after that.
Azria and his design partner, wife Lubov Azria, were inspired by Istanbul's architecture and the Gypsies of southern Europe.
Printed boxy shift dresses were worn over fluid lingerie-like underpinnings. Long vests � both fur and cashmere � topped cozy crewnecks. There were more layers, with leather leggings or lizard thigh-high boots that appeared to peek out from the hemlines of dresses and sweaters.
"It sounds a little crazy, but it's also a little bit hippie. It's different than what we've been doing," Max Azria said backstage.
Why the change for fall from more structured styles the two went with for spring?
"My wife likes it all. She likes the colors, the prints, the textures. She likes to see a melange," he said.
Chai put on a little edge, but he kept his collection neat and trim.
He is among a few designers to include men and women on the same runway. Though they walked one by one, the crowd surely could envision couples: She in a metallic, military jacket and pencil skirt, he in a plaid suit.
Chai used emerald and the dustier, more botanical Linden greens that Pantone Inc., which provides color services to most of the fashion industry, put on its Top 10 list of the season.
The designer featured a lovely shade of light purple � a little unusual for fall � on a textured jacquard with a lacelike effect for a pencil skirt and matching peplum top. A man-tailored shirt underneath added a modernity and utility that Chai is developing as signatures.
Christina Ricci watched in an embellished blue top by Chai paired with black pants.
"I have some of his clothes in my closet," she said. "I'm kind of a uniform girl. I wear jeans and tank tops a lot."

For trail maps and directions, download a copy of our Winter Trail Guide (PDF) or view the Madeline Bertrand Ski Trail Map (PDF).
Love Creek Trails
Love Creek offers over five miles of open trails and challenging wooded slopes and turns. In addition to tracks for "traditional" skiing, many trails at Love Creek include a groomed lane for cross-country ski skating. View the Love Creek Ski Trail Map 2020 (PDF).

Equipment checkout closes 2 hours prior to the rental and/or night ski event closing time for the day. (In other words, skis must be checked out by 3:00 p.m. on days when the ski rental closes at 5 p.m. etc.)
Illinois visitors - please note we are on Eastern Time, one hour ahead of the Central Time used in Illinois. (We hate for you to make the drive only to discover we close in an hour and rental skis are no longer available!)

There is no "out-of-county" fee charged at Madeline Bertrand during the winter months or on non-holiday weekdays at Love Creek. An Annual Park Entry Permit is available for $35 - but note you can save $5 on this permit when it is purchased with one or more season ski permits!

All skiers are required to obtain and display a ski trail permit while skiing.
- The ski trail fee for adults is $5 per day.
- The ski trail fee for youth (ages 15 and under) is $4 per day.

Lighted Night Skiing
Conditions permitting, lighted night skiing is available at Madeline Bertrand on Friday and Saturday nights until 9:30 p.m. Check the News Flash at the top of our Home Page for dates and hours.

On Monday's edition of "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart poked fun at President Barack Obama's and Mitt Romney's recent appeals to Hispanic voters at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) conference.
Stewart, accompanied by generic Latin-flavored music, announced at the top of the segment that the candidates' bids for Latino support called for a game of "Los Panderos." The object of the game: determine who did a better job galvanizing Spanish-language voters.
The first round judged the candidates' opening statements at NALEO. Stewart didn't think highly of Romney's remarks. But he was very impressed by Obama's fluency with Spanish.
U.S. & World
"Now I know why the economy isn't doing so well. [Obama] spent the last three years doing Rosetta Stone tapes!"
In the second round of "Los Panderos," Stewart considered the candidates' "connection to and comfort with the Mexican community." Obama name-dropped his Latina Secretary of Labor. But Romney won the round by referencing his father, who was born in Mexico.
In the final round, Stewart looked at the candidates' positions on immigration reform. According to Stewart, Obama won that category handily—as evidenced by a recent USA Today/Gallup poll showing the president with a whopping 66% of support among Latino voters.

I was forced(literally) to leave Fuengirola yesterday and am now in Granada, still alive and kicking, surprisingly. I can not give any further info. If anybody in Fuengirola reads this, please inform my friends that I am alright. There are not a lot of acquaintances left here that I know. I therefore plan to travel further North to Gandia, perhaps via Murcia. Preliminary destination Barcelona and after that to Santiago de Compostela to see if my friend Freddy is still there.
If my blogging is a bit sketchy from now on, please excuse me for I am on the road and do not know when I shall be able to settle down again. Wish me luck, folks! A hug and a smackeroo from Ralphie!
Just let me tell you this: some days it feels really good to still be alive!


text: Hi, everyone! I'm considering doing another run of these prints, as recently there has been renewed interest. Before I can decide how many to order, however, I need to know how many people would be interested. I will only be accepting prepay this time around, because last time, I had someone express strong interest, then didn't follow through and stopped communicating. The cost is $65 for the 11 x 16" print, plus shipping ($15 to the US). If you are interested in ordering one, please send me a private message or email me at [email protected] Thank you for your consideration!

I was not planning to spend an hour shooting and bludgeoning zombies to death on Facebook, yet here we are.
I wandered over to Zynga.com to grab a screenshot of FarmVille for today's winners and losers post, and there was the image for Eruptive Entertainment's Citizen Grim, all darkness and evil and flames and pretty redheads, not at all what I expected to see there.
The game's been around for a while now. Had I seen it sooner I would have played it sooner, but despite its many advances, Facebook still makes it hard to discover new games in a timely fashion. Had I known about this story-driven, 'mid-core' survival horror game sooner, then so would have you folks.
You're not sure how you got here, or why the citizens of Grim County have been transformed into hideous beasts known as Reapers. All you know is you've got to find your brother Alex, place businesses to aid in your survival, gather resources to upgrade your weapons and kill anything that gets in your way of doing so, be it lowly cannon fodder to powerful boss. Hire a merc or two to help you out if you'd like, just wipe them out.
Citizen Grim is a sublime combination of common social gameplay tropes and isometric survival horror shooter. Click on your enemies to auto-attack with melee weapons, firearms or other instruments of destruction as they relentlessly attack. Activate waves of Reapers to earn rewards and a spot on the leaderboards.
It's not quite an action game, not quite a social click fest. It's somewhere in-between, and that makes the setting and slaughter all the more unsettling.

Special Terms and Conditions for the Paid Acquisition of Virtual Articles and the Arrangement of Fee-based Memberships
Subject of the Specials Terms and Conditions
These Special Terms and Conditions ("Conditions") regulate the paid acquisition of virtual articles and the establishment, implementation and end of fee-based memberships in relation to the online games made available by Gameforge 4D GmbH, Albert-Nestler-Straße 8, 76131 Karlsruhe ("Gameforge").
Special Terms and Conditions for the Paid Acquisition of Virtual Articles
The user can acquire a "Premium currency" in return for a payment. The "Premium currency" can have a different name in each of the online games.
The user submits an offer to conclude the agreement for the purchase of "Premium currency" by selecting within the relevant online game the amount of "Premium currency" he wishes to purchase and then clicking on the button bearing the words "Buy now" or a similar inscription. The agreement will be established once Gameforge has credited the user's user account with the Premium currency.
With the credit of the Premium currency the user acquires an ordinary, non-assignable right limited to the contractual period to acquire the virtual assets and benefits offered by Gameforge within the relevant online game and more closely described there, provided the "Premium currency" credited to the user account is sufficient for the purchase in question. The "Premium currency" shall be debited from the user account to the sum corresponding to the designated equivalent value of the virtual asset or benefit.
The purchase price of the Premium currency is paid using payment service providers integrated by Gameforge; these providers offer the user various methods of payment ("payment methods"). The user can select his preferred payment method from those available. The user is informed that normally a contract for the execution of the transaction made with his preferred payment service provider will be based on the terms and conditions of the provider in question.
The user may withdraw his offer pursuant to Section 2.2 at any time up to the completion of the individual steps required to trigger the payment transaction via a payment service provider as defined in Section 2.4. Up until this time it is also possible to correct data entries by clicking on the Back button in the browser.
The right of the user to the acquired Premium currency is subject to the condition subsequent of the ending of the licence agreement regulated by the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use. In the event that the user account is blocked in accordance with Section 6.2 d) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use, Gameforge shall be entitled to refuse performance for the duration of the block.
The right to use the virtual assets or benefits acquired pursuant to Section 2.3 is subject to the condition subsequent of the ending of the licence agreement regulated by the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use. The user has no entitlement to use the virtual assets or benefits for a minimum period of time, unless the description of the virtual asset or benefit specified a particular minimum period of time.
Special Terms and Conditions for the Arrangement of Fee-based Memberships
By entering into a membership arrangement, for the (minimum) term selected by him the user shall gain access to special benefits within the online game (e.g. special functions, restricted-access areas), which are not available to non-members.
The user selects the (minimum) term of the membership and relevant price he is therefore required to pay. On the same page the user selects his payment method and the associated payment service provider. Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 apply accordingly. The amounts payable for the membership are payable in advance of the start of the relevant membership term.
Deviating from Section 8.1 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use, the membership can be cancelled without notice at any time up to the end of the term in question. Cancellations may be issued by email or in writing. If a cancellation function is integrated into the user account administration, this can also be used to issue a cancellation. Provided the payment method selected by the user does not preclude an automatic renewal, following the end of the term the membership shall be automatically renewed by the originally agreed term unless it is cancelled by one of the parties prior to expiry. Prior to entering into the membership arrangement, the user shall be informed of the possibility of automatic renewal or the absence thereof.
Purchase of Premium currency and the arrangement of memberships on the behalf of the user
The contractual partner for services offered by Gameforge in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 of these Conditions may also be a person other than the user and who only purchases the services for the benefit of the user (contract to the benefit of third parties). This will be the case particularly if the owner of a means of payment for the purposes of Section 2.4 (e.g. the holder of a credit card, bank account, telephone line, etc.) wishes to acquire the service on offer for the user in question.
In the cases described in Section 4.1 the services in question may only be demanded from Gameforge by the holder of the user account to be credited. Gameforge directly credits the user in question.
Reimbursement of money and payment resources in the event of cancellation
Unless a statutory right of cancellation has been effectively exercised, a reimbursement of the payment remitted for unused "Premium currency" or for the remaining term of the membership is only possible in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use.
In the event that the statutory right of cancellation is effectively exercised, Gameforge shall as a rule use the same means of payment that the user employed in making his payment. If this is not possible, the reimbursement shall be made by way of a bank transfer to an account designated by the payment beneficiary.
No additional costs are incurred other than the basic charge for establishing and maintaining internet access and the price for the services of Gameforge pursuant to Sections 2 and 3.
Gameforge provides billing support via https://billing.gameforge.com/ and games support via http://support.gameforge.com/. No telephone support is provided.
Section 10 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use apply accordingly.

Bottles of Tylenol sold in the U.S. will soon bear red warnings alerting users to the potentially fatal risks of taking too much of the popular pain reliever. The step, disclosed by the maker of Tylenol, comes amid lawsuits and pressure from the federal government.
Johnson & Johnson says the warning will appear on the cap of each new bottle of Extra Strength Tylenol sold in the U.S. in October and on most other Tylenol bottles in coming months. The warning will make it clear the over-the-counter drug contains acetaminophen, a pain-relieving ingredient that's the nation's leading cause of sudden liver failure.
Overdoses from acetaminophen send 55,000 to 80,000 people to the emergency room in the U.S. each year and kills at least 500.

Panasonic Cloud Entertainment has caused the tech world to murmur quietly over its first product: the Jungle portable gaming system. The hardware was announced—if you can call it that—last night, although details are still few and far between.
We know it's portable, we think it may have an attractive screen, and someone on MTV wrote a song about it. As far as product launches go, this one has been baffling.
Gizmodo ran the first picture of the device, alongside rumors that it had a nice screen, ran Linux, and was designed for online gaming. "The screen resolution is bananas. Everyone was freaking out about it," an unnamed source who is said to have seen the device in action at PAX told the site. If that isn't a ringingly anonymous endorsement of one aspect of a video game system, I don't know what is.
The device has a keyboard along with a touchpad and a directional pad. Panasonic has yet to make any official announcement about the hardware running this hot mess, or about any features that don't have to do with gaming. The content that we're going to run on this thing? A brand-new Battlestar Galactica MMO, a show by Machinima.com, and the promise that they "are online gaming." Well, in that case.
If you want to know what really has everyone excited, the device made an appearance on the MTV show Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, where Mr. Dyrdek himself had to write a jingle about the system! Wikipedia tells me Rob Dyrdek is "a professional skateboarder, actor, entrepreneur, producer, philanthropist, and reality TV star." If he's a Battlestar Galactica fan, this thing is in the bag... synergy doesn't get much better than that.
So far there has been little but speculation. It could be running Linux, it could do TV-out, and it could play existing games. If that's the case and the guts are moderately powerful and it's delivered at a solid price, it might... OK, can we be honest? So far this thing doesn't fit into any kind of market. The DS owns portable gaming. The iPhone already plays great games, many of which are online. When I think online gaming, I think World of WarCraft and first-person shooters, not a BSG title. I like specs and game announcements when new hardware is revealed, not reality TV shows and videos that obscure the hardware while trying to appear edgy.
The real question is simple: is this the Kin 2, the N-Gage 3, or possibly the new Gizmondo?

Former Italian leader to address Europe's global role
Nov. 4, 2009 3:32 p.m.
Romano Prodi, the two-time former prime minister of Italy, will speak on "The Role of Europe in a Multilateral World" at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, in McCosh 50.
Prodi will address his views on the mismatch between the economic power of the European Union and its limited role as a political player in the international arena.
Prodi served as prime minister of Italy from 1996 to 1998 and from 2006 to 2008. He also served from 1999 to 2004 as president of the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union. He currently is a professor-at-large at the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University.
The talk is designated as a Walter E. Edge Lecture sponsored by the University Public Lecture Series.

When South End pedestrians peek through the window of the new Snap Top Market on Columbus Avenue, they see neatly arranged pyramids of Bartlett, Green Anjou, and Star Crimson pears. Apples such as Honey Crisp, Cortland, and McIntosh are piled nearby. Owner Steve Napoli is the person who stacks the fruit, helps customers, and works as cashier. The merchant is a solo act, but he's not worried. At 26, Napoli is already well trained and experienced in the business.
He was raised working in his family's Idylwilde Farms in Acton. At 11, he accompanied his father, David, on predawn runs to the New England Produce Center in Chelsea. David Napoli is the youngest of the three brothers to run the farm and market started by Steve Napoli's grandfather. "I learned everything from my dad," says Steve Napoli, who worked there for years with his brother and cousins. He later became the produce buyer for their store.
But Napoli had a dream to run his own business and to move into the city. "My family was very supportive," he says. He rented and renovated the vacant storefront at the Bryant condominium complex and did most of the carpentry himself. He sold his Arlington condo and moved to South Boston to be closer to Snap Top. The store is on a street lined with offices, condominiums, and brownstones. "There's a demand for fresh food around here," says the retailer. On the second day he opened there was a steady stream of customers.
The space has the rusticity of a rural shop. Old fruit crates hang on walls and are filled with bananas. Weathered apple bins, turned upside down, display tomatoes from Backyard Farms in Maine and huge heads of garlic. Leafy greens and organic and seasonal produce sit on long antique tables. Not all the produce is local or regional. "I'll buy whatever tastes the best," he says.
To make homemade meals quicker, Napoli preps and packages produce (ends are snipped on haricots verts, the slender green beans, kale is cut-up, fingerling potatoes include herbs and root vegetables and are ready to pop into the oven).
Shelves are stocked with containers of Mission figs and other dried fruits, nuts, and crackers. There's a dairy case with cheeses, yogurt, and hummus from Hull's To Dine For. Breads come daily from Concord's Nashoba Brook Bakery, baked goods from Stowe's Babycakes & Confections. "This is a specialty convenience store. But you won't come in here with a shopping cart," he says.
This shop has competition in the South End. Foodie's Urban Market on Washington Street, a neighborhood grocery less than a half-mile away, sells a wide selection of produce and staples from dozens of regional vendors. Not far is Siena Farms South End on Waltham Street, a mini farm store that offers hand-picked produce from owner Chris Kurth's Sudbury Farm and other local growers. The Five Seventy Market on Tremont is an upscale convenience store where you can pop in and grab an apple or a head of broccoli.
Perhaps the South End will become like some European cities in which each little neighborhood pocket has its own produce market.
The word snap in the new market is a combination of the first letter of Napoli's first name, and the first part of his family name. The logo is a carrot with greens attached. In produce business lingo, says the merchant, a snap top refers to a carrot. As it happens, he does sell carrots, but never with their greens.
"No one in the city wants carrots with tops. It's my logo, but it's a tough sell."

What do you mean by Euro-English?
Student or Learner
Hello !
I am writing my bachelor thesis and my task is to compare Euro-English with British English. And I am finding out, that it is not as easy as it seemed at first sight :) I have found few ebooks and articles, have written few pages and my sources are spent. It's quite hard to find some more extensive text or even book directly focused on this topic. If you know about anything that could be useful for me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
What do you mean by Euro-English?
I mean British English as a standard English and Euro English is understood as a new form of English, used by people from different countries in Europe. Some call it "language of EU". Here, you can look at the short presentation about it:
I hadn't realised this idea was around formally, so I can't help, I am afraid. Perhaps others are more up to date than I.
Browsing the web, I have found and read few reviews about a book by Sandra Mollin. It is called "Euro-English. Assessing Variety Status." This book would help me quite a lot. Isn't here anyone, who knows where could I possibly find electronic version of it? google.books offers me only a sample

As breakfast gourmets know, Tuesday is National Pancake Day, and to mark this momentous occasion, the IHOP restaurant chain plans to dish up free flapjacks from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
The Feb. 5 giveaway is tied to the California-based chain's efforts to support such institutions as Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. In return for a short stack of buttermilk pancakes, customers are asked to make a voluntary donation to children's charities.
Last year, its National Pancake Day efforts raised more $3 million, the chain said. But at IHOP, generosity isn't just measured in dollars --- it's also measured in pancakes stacked nearly 16 miles high. According to IHOP, 4 million pancakes were given away last year, and 4 million stacked pancakes would stand nearly 16 miles high.
Nationwide, the chain has roughly 1,565 restaurants, including about 20 in Massachusetts.
While this will be year eight for IHOP's celebration of National Pancake Day, the company swears that this brand of feasting draws on centuries of tradition.
According to IHOP, the tradition dates back to Merry Old England and a time when folks took fasting during Lent very seriously. In those days, the consumption of dairy products during Lent was frowned up. So what was needed was an excuse to empty the larder of all the eggs, milk, and butter just before Lent. And that, says IHOP, was how Pancake Tuesday --- a.k.a. Shrove Tuesday --- came to pass.

By 2030, all Baby Boomers will be older than 65, meaning that one in five U.S. residents will be of retirement age, the Census Bureau reports. And by 2035, seniors will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history, the Census Bureau projects, with 78 million people 65 years and older compared to 76.4 million under the age of 18.
A couple of other demographic data points from the Census: By 2020, there will be about 3.5 working-age adults for every retirement-age person. By 2060, that ratio will fall to just 2.5 working-age adults for every retirement-age person, putting a greater strain on welfare programs such as Social Security.

VANCOUVER -- Police have identified the man gunned down in a deadly shooting in east Vancouver as 32-year-old La Van Truong (Rudy) Phan.
Phan was attacked in the backyard of his home on the 7200 block of Victoria Drive around 12:30 a.m. Friday, according to Const. Brian Montague, a spokesman for the Vancouver police.
When officers arrived on the scene, Phan was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to hospital where he died.
The motive for the shooting is still unknown, but Const. Montague said Phan was associated with gangs and the drug trade and his attack appeared to be a targeted killing. Phan had served prison time for a 2001 assault in Nanaimo and was also arrested in that city in 2006 during a large drug bust.
It is the city's fifth murder of the year.
Investigators believe there are individuals who have information about the murder who have not yet spoken to police. They are asked to call the Vancouver Police Major Crime Section at (604) 717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.

YoYos by Manufacturer
If you think the yoyo was an '80s fad then think again! The yo yo is as popular as ever and the boundaries of what can be done are being pushed all the time by technological advancements. We sell only the best yo-yos, our even basic beginner's models are quality bits of kit. We also stock top of the range yoyos, and everything in between, for all disciplines and from the best manufacturers in the world including; YoYo Jam, YoYo Factory and Duncan. For a guide to what yoyo to buy have a look here.
Modern yoyos come in a variety of forms to suit different styles of play. These styles have been divided up into a series of categories:
1A – String tricks with a single yoyo
2A – Double looping yoyos
3A – String tricks with two yoyos
4A – Offstring yoyo play
5A – Free hand yo yo-ing
1A: For this style of play you need a yo yo with a long sleep time. This gives you the time you need to perform those complicated string tricks. The more advanced string trick yoyos require a binding trick to return the yoyo to the hand.
2A: Looping yoyos don't require long sleep times as the yo yo is kept in constant motion being sent from the hand and looped inside and outside of the arms. 2A is possibly the most spectacular yo-yo division.
4A: Offstring yoyo shares more than a small similarity with diabolo. The yoyo can leave the string to be caught in loads of different ways. Many off string yoyos are large and have a flared butterfly shape to help catches.
5A: With a freehand, or counterweight, yo yo the player can let go of the string entirely allowing a whole new realm of tricks to be opened up!

I feel it is must for patients with fear of dental treatment. Overall very positive
My mother's front teeth were fractured due to slipping down. I consulted 2-3 dental surgeons but not got the satisfactory resolution. After that, we visited Dr Ajay clinic and got the best and permanent solution. He advised for teeth implant will be the best solution. It was really a great experience that Dr Ajay explained each and everything before surgery. My mother got teeth implant within 24 hours without any pain and hassle as the clinic is fully modified with the latest equipment. So results are satisfactory and highly recommend. Thanks.
I have missing front teeth and they make the teeth same day by placing an implant. Overall procedure is pain free with highly specialized doctors doing the procedure with such an ease. They also took care of all the standards of cleanliness and sterlization. I am very happy with my treatment there and recommend everyone to go this clinic for any kind of treatment especially implants.
The clinic has nice interiors and ambience which lower the fear of of treatment.

I use windows 7 (64bit) currently but I wonder what would be the most effective way to switch to ubuntu for the web surfing (youtube mostly)? Should I dual boot? (ugh but the restarts)
What about virtual space?(how much does virtual space suffer in speed)
should I keep windows 7 as the main and then use virtual for Ubuntu or Ubuntu (main) and windows (virtual)?
Some little facts: Im almost a total newbie to practical computer use but not to theory so I should understand most lingo. I plan on building a PC with a higher end i7 processor to lessen the effects of question 1.

Hi everyone,
When I go to phpmyadmin designer interface, I can not use the relationship join(graphical join(eg: many to one).
Can provide me the solution to fix it?
Thanks for your times (<.>)

Although some one here may be able to help or give an answer, this is really a phpMyAdmin topic, no one at XAMPP had any part in creating that interface.
You might try over here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyad ... orum/72909
You also could try the free tool from Oracle/MySQL - MySQL Workbench - it has a full complement of tools for creating/designing databases including EER diagramming, 1-to-1, 1-to-many and foreign keys support for InnoDB engine. Runs on basically all platforms and has Python add-ins (such as diagramming many-to-many) Also does import/export, create drop etc. You can also create from design/schema, update in either direction - ummm 'very nice'.

Major problem with tile maps and I'm not sure how to solve it.
My tile map uses a repeating grid of vertices. The only thing that changes is the starting texture in the first grid cell or the upper left corner. As you scroll right, the offset increases, down it increases by mapwidth, etc, etc.
Big problem. I'm using DrawPrimitive to draw 1 tile with a texture. This means I'm setting the texture for every single tile being rendered. Big performance drain there.
But is there any way around this?
Positioning each quad in world space would and drawing all quads that share a texture would not be a problem, but....determining which cells are visible might be. I could use a quad tree but I'm not so sure that would be any faster than my current method.

Sony: PlayStation 3 won Australian retail in 2012
PlayStation 3 came out ahead of the competition on total platform, software and hardware sales during 2012, Sony Australia has announced.
Drawing on the NPD Group Australia's data and the iGEA's 2012 market overview, SCE Australia said PlayStation platform sales – which include hardware, software and peripherals – accounted for 25.3% unit sales and 31.3% of dollar value share for the entirety of 2012. This is the largest slice captured by any platform, apparently.
PlayStation 3 also took out the record for greatest share in the hardware market, with 27% of total unit sales and 32% value share, thanks to the new "super slim" release.
On the software side, PlayStation 3 again achieved top spot with a 28.9% unit sales share – although no mention was made of spend percentage in this category.
"Moving into 2013, with AAA blockbusters on the horizon such as God of War: Ascension, the critically acclaimed The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, plus more for the family with new titles for Wonderbook, we plan to continue the PlayStation momentum and magic for our Australian customers," SCE Australia managing director Michael Ephraim said.
"We are also seeing accelerated growth in our online sales driven by an increased range of digital content and subscription products such as the PlayStation Plus program in Australia."
Australia boasts a $1.161 billion dollar games retail industry.
Sony is expected to reveal a new console at next week's PlayStation Meeting.

One of my earliest memories of growing up in Detroit is the first night the city burned during the 1967 riots. I was 5 years old, standing with my grandmother outside our clapboard home as the Michigan National Guard rolled down Warren Avenue.
DETROIT (AP - COREY WILLIAMS) ? One of my earliest memories of growing up in Detroit is the first night the city burned during the 1967 riots. I was 5 years old, standing with my grandmother outside our clapboard home as the Michigan National Guard rolled down Warren Avenue.
There was shooting and screaming. Buildings burned. A gas station exploded nearby. Sparks fell everywhere.
It was the fiery baptism that would define Detroit over the next 46 years.
I didn't live through Detroit's "Golden Years." By the time I was born, the Arsenal of Democracy, Motor City and Motown had grown tired. My hometown aged very badly, and at 4:06 p.m. Thursday, it became the largest city in U.S. history to go belly-up.
The Detroiter in me wonders why it took so long.
One can only be embarrassed, as if having to explain away Detroit's reputation as being the most violent city in the country. Other cities with high homicide rates may leap frog each other each year as to which will be the country's murder capital. But to many, Detroit will forever wear that badge.
The city's violence kept me away after high school and college. Its dirt, squalor, lack of real opportunities and horrible public education keeps me from raising my family there now. Many of the best and brightest have taken their children and money and simply moved away. If they're honest, few will say they'll ever move back.
I drive into the city each day, shaking my head at the scores of vacant houses along my route. I've taken my two daughters into those neighborhoods, gently reinforcing the need to excel in school so they won't have to grow up like I did.
Every late-night comedian has taken shots at Detroit. I've heard those jokes ? and some that are much worse ? about the city and its people while riding a bus in Chicago; from kids in my dorm at Michigan State University; even at a conference outside Washington, D.C. They burn the ears and boil the blood because Detroiters have thin skin. We can verbally dismantle the city and ourselves. How dare an outsider do it?
We're the ones who, through our sweat and hard work or that of our parents and grandparents, helped build Detroit from the production lines of sweltering car factories and other plants.
Back then, it was about chasing the American dream. Now, for too many of the 700,000 souls who remain, it's about surviving the soaring unemployment and lack of opportunity that keep hope in check and have helped leave the city with tens of thousands of vacant homes.
It's praying that an errant bullet doesn't smash through your living room wall and find you or a loved one.
It's riding buses for miles trying to find even minimum wage jobs where none exist. It's about cringing at news reports about the hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen by the ex-mayor and his cronies.
Detroit is tired and I can't help but think the city is weeping down deep in its tough old bones. I'm crying inside, even while writing the stories and filling pages in Detroit's history.
I don't know if wiping away as much as $20 billion in debt through bankruptcy will fix Detroit. I don't know if in emergency manager Kevyn Orr's restructuring there is a potion to save any of the young people who will die this year on its streets.
I can't say if businesses will wait out this fiscal storm and then see opportunity where they saw none before.
But at least and at last there is a plan. In Detroit's drawn out, decades of failures there is hope.
And maybe ? maybe ? somewhere down the road there still is time for Detroit's golden years, even in my lifetime.

In one of those "life imitates cyber-awesomeness" moments, an art director on the original Terminator movie rescued this cyborg arm from a special-effects explosion - just the way Cyberdyne did in T2. And now it's for sale!
This is the arm from the original T-800 Terminator model that was blown up at the end of the flick, and it was rescued from the wreckage by assistant art director Shay Austin. He kept the arm in a box of prop memorabilia, not realizing that the movie was about to become one of the most iconic SF tales of the late twentieth century. In fact, he's one of the few people who saved anything from the movie that became a franchise, and that's why this arm is so valuable that it's being auctioned off by Heritage Auction Galleries on July 17 as part of the "Signature Music & Entertainment Memorabilia Auction."
According to Suvudu:
The metal arm measures approximately 24" in length and is partially articulated. One of the fingers has separated over time due to the soft-wiring of the endoskeleton's parts, done to allow it to fragment properly during the explosion. The arm was also aged by the art department of the film to look properly scorched in the explosion.
Auction geeks are guessing the arm will probably sell for around $15,000. Last year, another T-800 arm from the original movie sold for $20,000.

Supergas is an alternative energy production method and installation work that established SUPERFLEX' practice. SUPERFLEX began collaborating with European and African engineers in 1996 to construct a simple biogas unit that could produce sufficient gas for the cooking and lightening needs of a family living in rural areas of the Global South. SUPERFLEX installed the first Supergas system at a farm in Tanzania in cooperation with the African organisation SURUDE (Sustainable Rural Development) in 1997. Supergas was presented to the public at the Louisiana, Museum of Modern Art in Denmark in 1998 through video documentation, written statements, campaign paintings, and posters. The same year, SUPERFLEX established the share holding company Supergas A/S to develop the biogas system and actively promote investment in the daily life of families living in rural areas in the Global South. The conceptual strategies and collaborative working methods tested in Supergas activities informed the following decade SUPERFLEX practice.
1997 Tanzania - The First Test
In August 1997, SUPERFLEX installed and tested the first Supergas biogas system. The experiment was carried out at a small farm in central Tanzania, in co-operation with the African organisation SURUDE (Sustainable Rural Development). The plant produces approx. 3 cubic metres of gas per day from the dung from 2-3 cattle. This is enough for a family of 8-10 members for cooking purposes and to run one gas lamp in the evening.
1998 Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark
"SUPERFLEX Biogas in Africa" installation at The Louisiana Exhibition 1997. The results from the pilot installation in Tanzania 1997 were shown in the museum. The museum was a main sponsor of the first biogas installation in Tanzania.
2001 Cambodia
Test carried out in collaboration with UTA University of Tropical Agriculture in Cambodia and Thomas Preston.
2002 Cheing Mai
A new version of the Supergas system, using hard watercontainers, was installed at The Land in Cheing Mai, Thailand.
2007 Zanzibar
Based on the installation in Cheing Mai two new Supergas systems were installed on Zanzibar in collaboration with the organizations "Dantan" and "ZALWEDA". SUPERFLEX helped installing two pilot system – ZALWEDA has been installing several systems since.
2011 Mexico
Development of prototypes of a new design made for mass production in Mexico. The prototypes are done in collaboration with TOA and OPA

Rizzo knows the pitfalls of high expectations
MESA, Ariz. -- Anthony Rizzo knows all about the great expectations people place on young players. He went through that when he was first called up to the Padres in 2011.
Now, the Cubs' top prospects -- Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Albert Almora and others -- are dealing with the hype. Rizzo will try to ease some of the pressure.
"[The media] is going to crown them the next Babe Ruth," Rizzo said Tuesday. "People did for me, and it's part of the game, and they're going to have to deal with that so-called pressure of coming up. They're going to have fun, and we'll make sure we have fun."
Did all the attention affect the Cubs' first baseman?
"I put my own expectations for what I do on myself," Rizzo said. "What other people say doesn't affect me."
The Cubs have been adamant that Baez, MLB.com's No. 7 prospect, will open the 2014 season at Triple-A Iowa. Fans are giddy at seeing the young potential impact players now.
"You say you don't want to rush them too fast and make sure they can get the right amount of at-bats, but they've shown they can handle every level," Rizzo said. "The biggest learning process is up here [in the Major Leagues] -- that's where you learn the most. Adding that third deck of the stadium is huge. You can't prepare for that."
Rizzo's transition wasn't smooth. He was promoted to the Padres in June 2011, and batted .143 in his first 35 games before getting sent back to Triple-A. Called up again in September that year, he hit .133 in 14 games.
Cubs manager Rick Renteria was on the Padres' coaching staff at that time and made a point of talking to Rizzo when he was sent down.
"I wanted to make sure he understood at that particular time it wasn't indicative of what he would ultimately be as a Major Leaguer," Renteria said. "That being said, you have to continue to work extremely hard at your craft ,and everybody obviously believes in the ability he had and this was just a little blip. Just keep your head up and keep grinding and keep playing."
That's the advice Renteria will give to the prospects as well.

How to Build Links to Your Blog - A Case StudyBlog Post: June 04, 2013
Did you ever consider advertising your own tweets? Helps build a following and get your content out but there's one spectacular benefit of advertising with Twitter ... when you are an advertiser, Twitter provides back end analytics that tell you how many clicks each link you tweet receives. Not just the tweets you're advertising, but all your tweets. I was able to go to a client and tell him that I generated almost 400 visits to his content last month, with written proof from Twitter.
If people reading this like this tip, please thumb me up. I'm trying to build my Moz points ;)

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A civil rights group is ending a 12-year-old discrimination lawsuit over San Diego's leasing of city property to the Boy Scouts of America.
"We're not pursuing it any further," David Loy, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties, told U-T San Diego on Monday.
A scouting spokesman in San Diego told the newspaper that the group wouldn't comment until it conferred with its lawyers later this week.
The ACLU's move comes as the Scouts must decide whether to modify or retain their longtime ban on homosexual members. The organization's National Council is expected to consider whether to change that prohibition in May.
The 2000 lawsuit challenged the city's decades-long practice of charging the Scouts $1 a year to lease 18 1/2 acres in Balboa Park and Fiesta Island for scouting activities. It argued that the leases violated state and federal constitutional prohibitions on giving special preference to religious groups, and also violated federal and local laws against discrimination.
The suit was filed on behalf of lesbian and agnostic couples who refused to allow their children to use the sites because the Scouts bar homosexuals and have an oath pledging duty to "God and my country."
In 2002, the city reached a new 25-year lease with the Scouts to pay $1 a year along with a $2,500 annual administration fee to use Balboa Park, and to pay to maintain and improve the property, which includes a swimming pool and amphitheater.
The Scouts got the Fiesta Island property rent-free but spent about $2.5 million to build a Youth Aquatic Center that provides low-cost boat rentals.
In 2003, a federal court ruled that the leases were illegal. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review an appeal by the Scouts.
However last December, a federal appeals court reversed the 2003 lower court decision. The appellate panel ruled that the leases were legal and weren't designed to promote religious activities. The court noted that the city leased 123 public properties to various nonprofit groups, including a Korean church, a Jewish organization and other groups that limit membership on the basis of race or ethnicity.
Last Friday, a federal judge in San Diego, directed by the appeals court, entered a court order finding in favor of the Scouts.
The lawsuit originally named the city and the Scouts but the city settled in 2004 by agreeing to abide by whatever court decision ultimately was reached and to pay the ACLU $950,000 for legal costs.

Furby Makes A Comeback This Holiday Season
And today's last word in business is: retro gift.
This holiday season Furby is making a comeback. That's the fuzzy owl-like creature that learns to speak. In his first incarnation back in the '90s 40 million Furbys were sold.
To reach those numbers again, the 21st century version has some updates - like LCD screens for eyes. They dilate to display graphics like rainbows, love-hearts or diamonds.
WERTHEIMER: And, of course, there is a "Furby" app. I'm so now you can see your Furby from your smartphone or tablet, and translate its Furbish language into English. Now how would you say Happy Thanksgiving in Furbish?
That's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
MONTAGNE: And I'm Renee Montagne.
