Will Hillary run in 2016? Will Chris Christie survive Bridgegate? The next presidential election is more than two years away, yet there�s no shortage of speculation about who will be on the ballot for both Democrats and Republicans.
Will Hillary run in 2016? Will Chris Christie survive Bridgegate?
The next presidential election is more than two years away, yet there�s no shortage of speculation about who will be on the ballot for both Democrats and Republicans.
From the looks of things so early in this new mid-term election year, there also will be no shortage of candidates for voters to pick from as North Carolina and Onslow County rev up for the primary season.
Turn on the TV any day of the week and you�ll find House Speaker Thom Tillis biting the Achilles heel of incumbent U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.
Will Hagan�s downfall come down to one word: Obama-care? Tillis is hoping so and driving home the message early.
Tillis has been joined in this quest to unseat Hagan by no less than nine other Republicans hopefuls: Greg Brannon, Mark Harris, Ted Alexander, Heather Grant, Bill Flynn, Ted Corriher, Terry Embler, Aaron O�Neal and Edward Kryn.
On the local front, the political season has been warming up, despite the temperatures we�ve been experiencing outside. Competitive races are starting to take shape for the state legislature, clerk of court and the sheriff�s office.
We still have a couple of weeks before filing formally begins, but there already has been political activity in many corners.
For voters, there is value in having early announcements as well as a long season for campaigning. It provides a greater opportunity for candidates to get their message out and for voters to get to know the candidates well.
The more knowledge of the candidates and their positions on issues, the better equipped voters will be to pick the person they believe best matches their own views about the role of government.
The best candidates, we believe, are those who favor a limited role for government in the lives of North Carolinians. Those candidates who:
n Leave personal decisions to individuals.
n Do not attempt to manage individuals� behavior through legislation.
n Understand that regulations hinder business growth and deter a strong economy.
n Safeguard private property rights.
n Believe and demonstrate that government actions and information belong to the people and consistently support transparency.
So settle in for Election 2014 and take time this year to get to know the candidates before making your decision and casting your vote.

A tremendous slide guitarist, and most of all a God-gifted entertainer. I have witnessed him light up packed houses at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, at the Irving Plaza in New York, to open air concerts in front of 10,000 folks in Lugano, Switzerland, to sitting on a curb in San Jose, Costa Rica entertaining dozens of young kids. Mud is born to make people smile and enjoy life.
-- Tim Duffy, Music Maker Relief Foundation president
Mudcat's take on other material as well as his own comes from Americana and has its roots in blues, Zydeco, Dixieland and folk that sets him apart from other artists who are content to crank out the same blues clichés that wear out their welcome. In my experiences of seeing Mudcat he never plays the same exact set list which makes him a pleasure to see and certainly a role model for other Atlanta musicians.

The blues is a universal feeling that transcends languages, social status and the constraints of musical genre. Danny "Mudcat" Dudeck knows that feeling intimately. He travels the globe spreading his version of the blues gospel and regularly works with a number of international blues-preservation organizations. ...
Whether performing solo, leading a smokin' band or a tight, one-off jam session with a founding father
or a group of novices, his soulful and emotive delivery evokes images of the hard timesthat fed the early blues pioneers ... mak[ing] even the most jaded music fan happy to be blue.

Stolen material return to Conn. Historical Society
HARTFORD -- The Connecticut Historical Society is recovering dozens of stolen historical documents, including letters by George Washington, Marie Antoinette and Napoleon Bonaparte, following the sentencing of two men convicted of stealing the rare materials.
Barry Landau, an author, presidential scholar and collector of memorabilia, was sentenced to seven years in prison earlier this year. His assistant, Jason Savedoff, was sentenced last week to a year and a day.
Richard Malley, head of research and collections at the Connecticut Historical Society, told The Hartford Courant (http://cour.at/RWfzUM ) that the first set of materials has arrived.
Landau and Savedoff visited the Historical Society four times last year, telling the staff that Landau was doing research for a book. He said he wanted to examine materials associated with presidential and gubernatorial balls and dinners.

I love breakfast. But haven't always. In the past, it's been more of a chore. Something that needs to be ticked off the to do list, a hurried and tasteless affair. The same routine, day in day out.
Nowadays, I think about breakfast from the night before whilst falling asleep. It's the last thing Maryam talks about. Or rather, demands, what she wants the next morning. It's also one of the first things we talk about at the breakfast table- what she wants for breakfast the next day.
It's at breakfast that she tells me the those details she seems to have forgotten. Like what they did in show and tell. Who she played with at school the day before. What the star sticker she stuck on her name badge was for. Don't breakfasts make the best conversations.
However, in my house, while the affair of breakfast may be leisurely and long, the preparation cannot be. I seem to function well only after having consumed my first meal of the day. Cue this smoothie. It really cannot get any faster then whizzing all the ingredients in a blender. Aren't those breakfasts of the best kind!
Look out for more breakfast recipes on the blog soon.
Fig, Oat and Banana Smoothie
1 banana
2 figs
250 ml whole milk
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
3 tbsp almond flakes plus extra for serving
3 tbsp oats
1 tbsp honey (optional depending on how sweet your figs and bananas are)
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately with flaked almonds on top.
Makes 2 servings or 1 large one.

Story highlights
- "BioShock Infinite" will now be released on February 23, 2013, instead of this coming October
- Creative director: Delay necessary "to give our talented team the time they need"
- Fans have been waiting for the next creation in the "BioShock" universe since 2010
What was arguably the most anticipated video game of 2012 just became one of the most anticipated games for 2013.
Irrational Games and Take Two announced Wednesday that "BioShock Infinite" will be delayed four months to allow developers more time to make tweaks to the game. The third installment in a popular horror series, set in a dystopian undersea universe, will now be released on February 23, 2013, instead of this coming October as previously scheduled.
Creative director Ken Levine made the announcement on Irrational's website:
"When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing," he wrote.
"Since then, we've come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we've decided to move the game's release to February 26, 2013. We wanted to let our loyal (and very patient!) fans know this as soon as possible.
"I won't kid you: BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we're doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter," he added. "What does this mean for you? It means a bit more waiting, but more importantly, it means an even better BioShock Infinite."
Levine said developers will hold off on showing "BioShock Infinite" this summer at such gaming events as E3 and Gamescom.
"That way, the next time you see our game, it will be essentially the product we intend to put in the box," he said. "Preparing for these events takes time away from development, time we're going to use instead to get the best version of Infinite into your hands in February."
Fans have been waiting for the next creation in the "BioShock" universe since "BioShock 2" was released in 2010. The new title will take players beyond the underwater realm of the first two games and put them in Columbia, a futuristic city in the sky, during a time of anarchy and strife.
In an interview with CNN last December, Levine described how excited he was to work on this new setting.
"In all these stories, you have these incredible themes. One of great optimism and excitement for the future and one of this ominous feeling at the same time," he said. "This yin and this yang that was present in all of this research really made me excited to work on this game."
Response from fans on Internet message boards Wednesday was generally positive, with many saying they are willing to wait longer for the game if it lives up to expectations.

I remember the first time I met the man who is now my husband. His smile melted my heart. I was on my way to class when I saw him (but I was late.) I was purposely late to that same class for the next 3 weeks hoping I'd see him again. I never did -- well not until the next semester when I had class with him. I didn't recognize him at first, but we became friends. When I finally did remember him, I was amazed that we had became such good friends! That was 5 years ago. This Valentine's day is our first one as a married couple!

Source: Susan Nelson, 785-532-5690, email@example.com
News release prepared by: Rosie Hoefling, 785-532-2535, email@example.com
Monday, Oct. 4, 2010
MANHATTAN -- Eating a bag full of chocolate Halloween candy is more of a trick than a treat for the average household pet, according to a Kansas State University veterinarian.
K-State's Susan Nelson, assistant professor of clinical services, says chocolate consumption by many pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, birds and rats, can be extremely hazardous.
"Chocolate contains large amounts of methylxanthines," she said. "Theobromine and caffeine are methylxanthines that are found in chocolate. It is theobromine that causes the majority of symptoms in pets."
When a pet ingests a small quantity of chocolate, an owner may notice no changes, or they could see such symptoms as vomiting, diarrhea and excessive thirst and urination. As the consumption of chocolate increases, Nelson said the symptoms become more severe and could lead to irregular heartbeats, tremors, seizures and possibly death.
"Symptoms typically occur within 12 hours of ingestion," she said. "Unlike people, dogs take much longer to clear theobromine from their bodies, which leads to the formation of toxic levels."
According to Nelson, different types of chocolate can vary in the concentration level of theobromine. Baking chocolate contains the most theobromine, white chocolate contains the least, and semisweet and milk chocolate contain a medium amount.
If a household pet consumes a large quantity of chocolate Nelson advises owners to call a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. Inducing vomiting will most likely be advised, but she said this measure is not safe in all situations.
She also recommends keeping all foods -- especially Halloween candy -- out of a pet's reach to avoid hazardous consumption situations. Confining pets during parties or family gatherings also will help prevent guests from feeding them toxic foods, she said.
"Chocolate consumption is a very common problem amongst pets, dogs especially," Nelson said. "It is important to recognize that individual reactions vary by pets, but it is best to assume your pet is one of the sensitive ones and not delay in seeking advice from your veterinarian. Be aware of the chocolate sources in your house, and tell any new dog owner about this potential threat to their pet."

In my 21 years with Delta Farm Press, I have never seen an issue galvanize farmers like the Grassley Amendment, the legislation that would impose strict new payment limits on growers who are neither large nor wealthy.
Covering a crop consultants meeting a few days ago, I was struck by the fact that the farm bill — and, by extension, the Grassley Amendment — was the number one topic of conversation.
Many consultants, who probably don't get involved as much as they should on the political side, expressed concern that they could lose customers who either will not receive financing or will have to change their operations if the Grassley Amendment becomes part of the final farm bill.
Several said the lack of a farm bill — and the potential for harm from the payment limit amendment — has created uncertainty in their communities.
"I have a banker friend who attended a meeting of all the lenders in the Delta," said one. "Not a single lender had made a crop loan for this year because they do not know what's going to happen with the farm bill."
In e-mails and calls, farmers have been expressing their outrage and concern over the passage in the Senate bill of the "Ghastly Amendment."
A Texas farmer said he had telephoned the office of North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, one of the co-sponsors of the amendment. A Dorgan aide told him the senator "now realizes that cotton and rice farmers are in trouble if the amendment makes the final farm bill."
"He acknowledged that work will have to be done on the amendment in the House-Senate conference committee," the farmer said. "I hope so because this amendment will severely impact our operation. With their higher yields, I suspect the new payment limits would also put Southeast farmers out of business or drastically reduce the acreage they farm."
At press time, farm groups were focusing on the conference committee, which Rep. Larry Combest, the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, reportedly will lead.
The day after the Senate vote, Combest met with farm organization representatives. Although he gave no specific views on payment limits or other issues, Combest said it could take months for him to get a "good" farm bill out of the conference.
Some observers say that means that Combest, who has said he opposes the Grassley Amendment, will not allow the bill to move forward if conferees such as Sen. Richard Lugar, a Grassley co-sponsor, insist that it be in the final conference report.
Combest reportedly expressed other concerns about the Senate bill, including its "front-loading" of farm benefits compared to the House bill and its short-changing of farmers in favor of spending on conservation programs.
Representatives said Combest also urged them to have their members contact their senators and representatives, especially those not on the conference committee, to make their views known about the Grassley Amendment and other farm bill issues. Given the uproar we've been hearing, we can't imagine that will be a problem for farmers, consultants or anyone else with a stake in the future of agriculture.

Underground Mine Map Initiative Catalogs Old Mine Maps, Nov. 20, 2006
by Jane Love and L. Greer Price
SOCORRO, N.M., Nov. 20, 2006 -- In September 2006, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) awarded the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) a competitive grant of $42,000 to complete the cataloging and scanning of historic coal mine maps of New Mexico.
The NMBGMR serves as the repository for historic underground mine maps in the state and has a collection of more than 400 underground coal mine maps.
As part of this project, the NMBGMR is asking New Mexicans who possess old maps or who are aware of old map collections to contact Maureen Wilks, Geological Librarian at NMBGMR at the address listed at the end of this article.
Dr. Peter Scholle, Director of the NMBGMR said, "Recent coal mine disasters (the 2002 Quecreek mine flooding in Pennsylvania and the 2006 Sago mine disaster in West Virginia, in particular) have demonstrated both the need for accurate mine maps and the ability to get those maps into the hands of rescue workers quickly. This project, to catalog and locate geographic coordinates of existing mine maps, will allow instantaneous online retrieval of such maps at any time of the day or night and so represents a significant step forward in mine safety."
The cataloging of mine maps began in 2004 when the NMBGMR, in collaboration with the Mining and Minerals Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, and the State Mine Inspectors Office, was awarded a competitive grant of $50,000 from the Mine Safety and Health Administration. More than 250 coal mine maps were cataloged and 200 scanned.
The success of this phase of the map cataloging project led to the current award of $42,000 to complete the project, which involves:
- Cataloging the remaining coal mine maps at the bureau (~100).
- Cleaning up the scans of those maps already scanned (~100). Scanning and cleaning up the images of the remaining coal maps (~100).
- Actively seeking out additional mine maps from public institutions, private companies, conservation societies, and other sources. Especially important are the coal mines in the Raton Basin; there are many inactive underground mines in this area, and currently the NMBGMR has very few mine maps for the Raton Basin. Coalbed methane development along with the potential for active underground coal mines has become a high priority in the Raton Basin, and there is a definite need to know the extent and location of the underground mines for the safe development of these resources.

The State Department on Monday affirmed that it will continue working to meet House Republicans' ongoing demands for documents relating to the agency's handling of the September 2012 fatal attack on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya.
In the latest request, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on Aug. 8 sent a letter to former State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland demanding her emails concerning the much-debated television "talking points" from the days following the attack that left four Americans—including Ambassador Chris Stevens—dead.
"You wrote that changes to the talking points did not 'resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership,' " Issa said in his letter. "Your email makes clear that department leadership shared concerns with you about the draft talking points. It is my hope and expectation that the documents I am requesting will identify those concerns, and whose concerns they were."
Issa went on to describe as inadequate the State Department's response in handing over 97 pages to comply with his May 28, 2013, subpoena, saying it failed to explain the email language. "The State Department continues to refuse to make the documents available that would clarify what aspects of the talking points your bosses were concerned about."
In a statement emailed to Government Executive acknowledging receipt of Issa's letter, a department spokesman said, "the 100 pages of emails on the talking points were publicly released months ago, but Chairman Issa still issued a subpoena on the topic, with which we fully complied. He continues to ask about the talking points and we will again work with him to address these issues."
State has "demonstrated an unprecedented degree of cooperation with the Congress on the issue of Benghazi," the statement continued. "Specifically, in support of the investigation, the State Department has participated in nearly 50 congressional hearings and briefings for members and staff, shared more than 25,000 pages of documents with committees, and made State Department employees available for interviews with the House Oversight committee."
The spokesman reiterated that the facts surrounding the Benghazi incident were laid out to Congress and the public in the independent Accountability Review Board report, and that State is committed to implementing all 29 of the report's recommendations. "Our diplomats continue to serve in dangerous places," he continued. "People at the State Department are willing to step up and put themselves in harm's way, and it is a disservice to them to politicize this issue."
Issa gave State a deadline of Aug. 15.

The Golden State Warriors are back from a long road trip and won't leave the West Coast until the end of January. It's a chance to push their record above .500, the Chronicle's Janny Hu points out in her regular podcast.
Deputy sports editor Larry Yant talks to Hu about recent roster moves and the injury update for the Warriors – Jason Richardson out for one to two months with a broken hand but Monta Ellis is about to return to the lineup.
The big question continues to be the play of the big men on the roster. Janny talks about the difficulty of inside players doing well in coach Don Nelson's fast-paced system.

Media Transfer Protocol
MTP is the "Media Transfer Protocol" and is used by many mp3 players (e.g. Creative Zen) and mobile phones (e.g. Android 3+ devices). It is part of the "Windows Media" Framework and has close relationship with Windows Media Player.
MTP support is provided by libmtp, installable with the libmtp package from the official repositories.
After installation, you have several MTP tools available. Upon connecting your MTP device, you use:
# mtp-detect
to see if your MTP device is detected.
To connect to your MTP device, you use:
# mtp-connect
If connection is successful, you will be given several switch options in conjunction with
mtp-connect to access data on the device.
There are also several stand alone commands you can use to access your MTP device such as,
mtp-albumart mtp-emptyfolders mtp-getplaylist mtp-reset mtp-trexist mtp-albums mtp-files mtp-hotplug mtp-sendfile mtp-connect mtp-folders mtp-newfolder mtp-sendtr mtp-delfile mtp-format mtp-newplaylist mtp-thumb mtp-detect mtp-getfile mtp-playlists mtp-tracks
Using media players
You can also use your MTP device in music players such as Amarok. To do this you may have to edit
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (the MTP device used in the following example is a Galaxy Nexus):
To do this run:
$ lsusb
and look for your device, it will be something like:
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II], GT-P7500 [Galaxy Tab 10.1]
in which case the entry would be:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="6860", MODE="0666"
Then, reload udev rules:
# udevadm control --reload
Mtpfs is FUSE filesystem that supports reading and writing from any MTP device. Basically it allows you to mount your device as an external drive.
Mtpfs can be installed with the packge mtpfs, available from the official repositories.
- First edit your
/etc/fuse.confand uncomment the following line:
- To mount your device
$ mtpfs -o allow_other /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT
- To unmount your device
$ fusermount -u /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT
- To unmount your device as root
# umount /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT
Also, you can put them into your ~/.bashrc:
alias android-connect="mtpfs -o allow_other /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT" alias android-disconnect="fusermount -u /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT"
Or, with sudo
alias android-disconnect="sudo umount -u /media/YOURMOUNTPOINT"
If the above instructions don't show any positive results one should try go-mtpfs-gitAUR from the AUR. The following has been tested on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM and Samsung Galaxy S 3 mini.
If you want do it simpler, install go, libmtp and git from the official repositories. After that install go-mtpfs-gitAUR from the AUR.
As in the section above install android-udevAUR which will provide you with "/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" edit it to apply to your vendorID and productID, which you can see after running mtp-detect. To the end of the line add with a comma OWNER="yourusername". Save the file.
- Add yourself to the "fuse" group:
gpasswd -a [user] fuse
- If the group "fuse" doesn't exist create it with:
groupadd fuse
Logout or reboot to apply these changes.
- To create a mount point called "Android" issue the following commands:
mkdir Android
- To mount your phone use:
go-mtpfs Android
- To unmount your phone:
fusermount -u Android
You can create a .bashrc alias as in the example above for easier use.
Philip Langdale is has implemented native MTP support for gvfs. The weaknesses of gphoto2 and mtpfs are listed in his blog post.
- The native mtp implementation for gvfs has been merged upstream and has been released in gvfs 1.15.2. You can grab the stable gvfs-mtp package from extra, when gvfs 1.16 will be released in the stable Arch repos.
- Devices will have gvfs paths like this
gvfs-ls mtp://[usb:002,013]/
This is another FUSE filesystem for MTP devices. You may find this to be more reliable than mtpfs. simple-mtpfsAUR is available in the AUR or can be built from source. Remember do not run the following commands as root.
- To list MTP devices run
simple-mtpfs --list-devices
- To mount a MTP devices (in this example device 0) run
simple-mtpfs /path/to/your/mount/point
- To un mount run
fusermount -u /path/to/your/mount/point
KDE MTP KIO Slave
There is a MTP KIO Slave built upon libmtp availiable as package kio-mtp.
Using KIO makes file access in KDE seamless, in principle any KDE application would be able read/write files on the device.
The device will be available under the path mtp:/
Workaround if the KDE device actions doesn't work
If you are not able to use the action "Open with File Manager", you may work around this problem by editing the file /usr/share/apps/solid/actions/solid_mtp.desktop
Change the line
Exec=kioclient exec mtp:udi=%i/
Exec=dolphin "mtp:/"
GNOME gMTP
gMTP is a native Gnome application used for MTP access.
gmtpAUR is currently located in the AUR .
Workarounds for Android
MTP is still buggy and may crash despite the best efforts of developers. The following are alternatives:
- AirDroid - an Android app to access files via your web browser.
- FTP client on Android - If you run a local FTP server on Arch (such as Vsftp), there are many FTP clients available on the Play Store which will give read/ write access to your device's files.
- FTP Server on Android. Note: since FTP client using passive transfer (server connect to client) do not forget to disable firewall or adding rules for allowing FTP server connect to your PC.
- Ftp Server (by The Olive Tree) app in Play Store acts as FTP server on Android and allows RW access to pretty much all your storage.
- Pro: Doesn't require root and just works!
- Cons: Doesn't work with tethering network.
- FTPServer (by Andreas Liebig) - Just work.
- Ftp Server (by The Olive Tree) app in Play Store acts as FTP server on Android and allows RW access to pretty much all your storage.
- Samba - an Android app to share your SD card as a windows fileshare. Pros: Your desktop apps work as before (since the SD card appears as a windows fileshare). Cons: you need to root your phone.

THE SILENCE IS REST by Jim Green
I saw an advertisement on the back of a bus in Norwich the other day. It read: "Sunday – day of rest". But the word 'rest' had been gleefully crossed out in red by the ad's designer and – also in red – had been replaced by an excitedly scrawled 'Shopping!!!'.
Sunday – day of shopping. At this point the temptation is strong to offer a blog entry that you'd all be able to write for yourselves… with your eyes closed. Our hectic, busy lives… constantly harried… forces of neo-liberal capitalism… persuaded that we must consume to have meaningful identities…live to shop…neurotically and blindly co-operate… the spiritless military-industrial-complex… shop until you finally drop, your life unexamined, unfulfilled and – most tragic of all - unlived.
I think it would go something like that.
And these are indeed the messages that the back of the bus is mooning at unwary drivers, drumming their fingers against the steering-wheel, being unconsciously programmed to do the zombie shuffle on the Seventh Day, into the latest retail mall to be opened in the fine city of Dame Julian, England's greatest mystic. But rather than write my "Thought For The Day" blast against the commodification of all of our thoughts, each of our waking and sleeping moments (let's take that as read), I found myself chewing on that word "rest", and a rich inverbation it turned out to be.
God does it after he's spent six days creating sea and stars and creeping things and humans and a whole lot else beside – Creation, in fact. Maybe it's this – the proto-break – which has forever given us the idea of rest as a cessation from work. From that point on we have habitually thought of rest as stopping doing something. This understanding of rest implicitly celebrates the fact that we can down tools, give up the unequal struggle of our daily lives and just chill. The mantra for this approach to life seems to acknowledge that we humans have less stamina than the Divine Creator. TGI Friday! We clock off a good twenty-four hours before our Maker.
There's something fundamentally reactive (and maybe reactionary) about this kind of resting. We've been busy and now we're busy doing nothing. We have stopped and then we will start again. Nothing will have changed, nothing will have happened. We have just had a day (or two days, or thirty minutes or a week) 'off'.
Look what other activities appropriate the word. We build 'rest homes' for senior citizens. The implicit invitation is to stop doing what you've been doing and to snooze and drift your way towards… a 'chapel of rest' - where even less activity is expected of you. And then there's the greatest euphemism that our American brothers and sisters have given us – the restroom. Where we can take a break – I suppose – from controlling ourselves, from being continently civilized.
All these 'rests' are rests from. They're about stopping, no longer labouring – in some senses, giving up. But there's one definition of 'rest' given by the OED which chimed with a different sense that I instinctively felt in the word:
rest, v. 3. a. To be at ease or in quiet; also…to continue without change or removal; to stay, remain, lie, have place or station.
What great hints dictionaries give us. What if we understood our 'rest' not as a passive, negative, slightly narcotic pastime, but rather as the most active, the most engaged, the most alive we can be?
I remember a quote (but I don't know from which Church Father or Saint – let me know if you know) which has stayed with me since I first heard it. It affirms that "There is no leisure, save in the pursuit of wisdom". At first hearing, this prescription sounds incredibly harsh. Are all our (non-wisdom) leisure pursuits just mere distractions? Are they only pointless displacement activities (shopping)?
The longer I sit with those questions, the more ready I am to say, well, yes actually. They are neurotic distractions if we don't have the possibility in our lives for that dynamic rest, continuing without change or removal that meditation can bring. It is in this activity that we can stay, remain, lie, have place or station. This definition of the word starts to sound like The Word – Logos. We start to hear those simple, central words which are so important in the Gospel. To rest and to stay. At the root of these words are earlier forms: estar and ester. To rest is simply to be. And to be is always to be with.
This 'rest' is not a breaking off, a rest from. It is a rest into something, towards someone. We rest in God's arms. We are God's arms – every day.
Jim Green is a UK-based oblate of WCCM.
Jim's Blog
Another thought-provoking blog, Jim. St Augustine's familiar words that 'our hearts are restless until they rest in you' come to mind. As you say, this 'rest' is not about 'stopping doing something' or our slightly neurotic escape into pastimes - even good ones. Without that deep rooted-ness in essential being we are always on a treadmill moving from action to distraction. Your last line sums up this engaged, dynamic God-filled 'rest' beautifully.
Someone said it is God's joke that we have to go looking for this 'rest' in all the wrong places first. Or as Rumi cleverly put it:
You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already round your neck!

Lift for Life raises funds to fight kidney cancer, draws 2,500 fans
Lift for Life raises funds to fight kidney cancer, draws 2,500 fans
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The 12th annual Penn State Uplifting Athletes Lift For Life was a tremendous success on Saturday (July 12), raising the 2014 total to a record $140,000 and the cumulative total to nearly $1 million to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association.
As of this morning (July 14), Penn State football student-athletes have raised slightly more than $140,000 for kidney cancer patients and awareness this year, with additional donations expected this month. More than 100 members of coach James Franklin's squad participated in Saturday's Lift For Life, breaking their record for the sixth consecutive year, surpassing the 2013 event total of $133,506 for the Kidney Cancer Association.
With the $140,000 in contributions from this year, $992,565 has been raised in the battle against rare diseases by Penn State Uplifting Athletes since the inaugural Lift For Life was held in 2003. The inaugural event raised just less than $13,000. The last four Penn State Lift For Life events have all raised in excess of $100,000, pushing the cumulative total to the brink of $1 million.
Contributions to Penn State Uplifting Athletes in the fight against kidney cancer for 2013-14 will be accepted through Sept. 30. Fans can make a donation at http://give.upliftingathletes.org/psuliftforlife2014.
Sunny skies and a crowd of about 2,500 fans greeted the Nittany Lions at the Penn State Lacrosse Field as the offense topped the defense by a score of 30-24 in the six-event, head-to-head strength and conditioning competition. The upperclassmen participated in the head-to-head competition pitting the offense against the defense. Simultaneously, the true freshmen ran in a mini Lift for Life kids clinic with more than 100 participants on the turf at the lacrosse field.
The Nittany Lions put on a show for the fans in attendance with an exhibition in six strenuous events. The competition featured five rotations of one-on-one battles in the "dominator" shuttle run, deadlift, sled push, tire flip, tug run (water-filled plastic tug device) and 225-pound max bench press.

Today's musings are not about being a foodie but just about being Jude. It's about that sobering realization that we raise our children to leave us.
This picture of my son wearing an FAO Schwartz beanie hat was taken about 15 years ago, in a 5th Avenue subway station. I'd say it was a simpler time but I think we reframe and reprint memories. I was likely just as frantic then as I am today…yet all I remember is the sweet exuberance of a bright child trying to learn everything he could and pack it into a day with an 8:30 pm bedtime.
I'll bet when my mom sees this picture she won't remember how stressful her life was at the time this picture was taken. Her husband was working 80+ hours a week, striking out on his own when I was born, opening a used car lot with my uncle while she was trying to take care of two children (my sister did not come along for another 2 1/2 years). It's funny how we understand our parents so much more as we get older ourselves.
I said something to her the other day and we both had a big belly crunching tear evoking laugh. I said "Oh my God, Ma, Anthony is actually moving away from home!" She looked at me with the same smirk she used to ask me to wipe off my face and said "Imagine that! A child moving away from home. I'll bet that's never been done before!" Yeah. Ok. Point taken.
He turned 21 last year. Zoom zoom. He was just six. Yesterday he signed a lease on an apartment in NYC.
I guess the bottom line is, we raise our children to leave us.
Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences on letting go…Have a yummy weekendJudeTheFoodie.com

Candy Yum-Yum: Is a super bright matte fuchsia pink color. Even though it has a matte finish, it's not drying (Ruby Woo anyone?). It doesn't even feel like it's matte when you first apply it on, when it's dry it still feels comfortable but can start to feather, so I suggest applying a tiny bit of chapstick before application. In comparison to other lipsticks similar in color from other collections, Candy Yum-Yum is lighter and more of a true pink than Immodest Mattene lipstick, and Show Orchid. I'd say it's closest to Petals & Peacocks, but Petals & Peacocks is a tinge darker and has shine.
Quite Cute: Is a pale lavender, almost has a soft blue undertone to it and looks almost like a whitish blue in pictures. It's a cremesheen finish. I think this is great for mixing/layering with other lipstick colors because it gives a nice wash of color.
Playing Koi: Is a neutral color, almost nude, but a wash of peach which is a nice change from the normal nude lippie. Even though the finish is satin, it has a creamy consistency to it, that I would have thought it was a cremesheen at first. It can still wash certain skintones out, but paired with a nice lipgloss and/or lip liner I think it can easily be pulled off. This is definitely a lippie I want to experiment with and make different combos.
Saint Germain: One of my all time favorites, it's a soft (but brighter) pink than "Snob" and I love this lipstick because paired with any lipgloss, it always just looks amazing, I loved it so much I ended up buying a backup when I originally bought this.

Plenty of support and breathable comfort for heavier day hike loads.
When you're carrying heavier loads during your day hikes or overnight treks, enjoy the beefed-up support, ventilating features, and ergonomic, women-specific fit of the Deuter Women's Futura Pro 34 SL Backpack. The backpack's ventilating AirComfort Futura Pro mesh back panel and highly supportive suspension system will keep you comfortable while supporting your load to the end of the trail and back. A pivoting hip-belt follows your movements to keep your load balanced on uneven terrain, and padded, anatomically-contoured shoulder straps take some of the weight off your hips without digging in. The narrower shoulder straps with soft lined edges are set closer together to suit female or smaller hikers, the hip-belt is specially shaped and positioned to fit a woman's hips, and the backpack fits smaller torso heights ranging from 14.5 to 18 inches.
The Futura Pro 34 SL holds up to 30 pounds of gear, and includes compression straps on the sides and hip-belt to secure or reduce the volume of your load so items inside don't move around. The sternum strap prevents the backpack from shifting side-to-side on sketchy terrain for better balance. Plenty of pockets allow you keep your gear organized while providing separated spots for smaller or wet items that you don't want intermingling in the main compartment. Trekking pole and ice tool loops on the side of the backpack hold your poles and tools, and you can attach additional tools or carabiners to the loops on the lid. If the weather's drizzly when you hit the trail, the backpack's water-resistant fabric and lid protects contents inside, and an integrated rain cover offers added protection if the drizzling turns into a downpour. The backpack is compatible with your hydration reservoir, and includes a reflective attachment for your drinking tube so you can easily find it if you're out on the trail before sunrise or after sundown.
- Women-specific shoulder straps and pivoting hip belt with mesh-covered padding
- Sternum strap, side/hip-belt compression straps, and load adjustment straps
- Fits torso lengths ranging from 14.5 to 18 inches
- AirComfort Futura Pro suspension (spring steel wire and horizontal stay)
- Ventilating mesh back panel
- Holds up to 30 pounds of gear for day hikes or overnight treks
- Top access with protective lid
- Rugged and water-resistant nylon and polyester fabrics with PU coating
- Integrated, detachable rain cover
- Hydration reservoir compatible; reflective attachment for drinking tube
- Zippered, separated bottom compartment, front pocket, and hip-belt pockets
- Lid pocket,stretch side pockets and internal valuables pocket
- Ice tool and trekking pole loops, tool loops on lid

Good fit for petite woman
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
This backpack has proven to be a great size for a 3-4 day trip. It is light and comfortable to wear on the back and hips, with the pivot around the waist a nice feature. It is also good quality and has held up perfectly on the plane and in the back country. Great color and design!
Height - 5'2"
Weight - 110lbs
Deuter Futura Pro 34 SL Backpack
Can't wait for a long trek!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have been sampling all kinds of 25-35L packs and this was the best fit I experienced. So comfy. There are some other nice pack features, but I definitely went with best fit/durability rather than all the bells and whistles available out there in the world of backpacks. I only considered packs with a ventilated mesh back panel. I have a 16" torso, wide shoulders, and a need for a lady-friendly sternum strap.
The real winning attribute was the pivoting hip belt. Most other packs were uncomfortable and bumpy where the hip belt pads joined the base of the pack, but the pivoting system on this pack was snug without bumps or annoying friction. The hip belt padding goes all the way across your back with addition padding on your spine.
Wish list: A zipper to the main compartment. There is an optional panel inside the pack to allow for a bottom compartment (which has a zipper to the outside), but this is a mostly top-loading pack. Luckily it's small enough that it won't be too annoying I hope. My other wish was for the top compartment/lid pocket to be completely detachable, but this one is not.
Perks: pretty light weight though heavier than an ultralight pack, nice strong fabric (seems like it will hold up well, even if I go skateboarding and fall on my pack on the pavement, definitely a lifetime of use ahead), plenty of space for a water reservoir, lovely flower/hairband accessory, accessible little snack/camera pockets on the hip belt, rain cover included, even when fully loaded the lid pocket doesn't interfere with head and neck movement.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Lees-McRae senior Kortnie Curry and junior Rachelle Cleveland claimed individual titles in their respective field events on the first day of the Conference Carolinas Outdoor Track & Field Championships Friday afternoon in Banner Elk, N.C.
Curry (Lexington, N.C.) continued her recent hot stretch by winning the high jump contest over fellow Bobcat Mekayla Boswell (Mocksville, N.C.). Both contestants cleared 1.60 meters. Not to be out done, senior Persephanie McRae (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished fourth in the competition with a height of 1.50 meters.
Cleveland (Moyock, N.C.) crushed her competition in the javelin and claimed gold with a heave of 34.75 meters. Her next closest competitor was 1.15 meters behind. Teammate Jessica Hattabaugh (Hamilton, Mass.) gave Coach Ley Fletcher's squad two points with a fifth-place finish with a distance of 26.78 meters.
Cleveland claimed eighth in the hammer throw with a toss of 29.96 meters.
The duo of Meagan Thorton (Millville, N.J.) and Erin Bingham (Jefferson, N.C.) delighted the home crowd when they automatically qualified for the women's 100-meter hurdles by winning their respective heats. Thorton used a blistering time of 14.95 seconds while Bingham finished .01 seconds behind at 14.96.
King (64) currently leads the women's standings while LMC is second (33) and Limestone is third (32). Mount Olive (27) and Barton (10) round out the top five while North Greenville (8) sits sixth and Belmont Abbey and Converse (6) are tied for seventh.
The shot put will open up action tomorrow on the women's side at 11:30 a.m. at Tate Field in Banner Elk, N.C.

The Astros on Tuesday accused Comcast of using bankruptcy proceeds as a "smokescreen" for its plans to cheat the ballclub out of its ownership share in Comcast SportsNet Houston and Comcast.
The accusation is included in the Astros' 32-page motion, filed on Tuesday with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur, in opposition to requests by four Comcast affiliates' that Isgur name a trustee to oversee, Houston Regional Sports Network, the Astros-Rockets-Comcast partnership that is the parent company of CSN Houston.
Isgur has set an Oct. 28 hearing to rule on the Comcast motion for a trustee and on the Astros' motion to dismiss the involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Comcast was scheduled on Tuesday to file its response to the Astros' motion to dismiss.
The Comcast entities argue that a trustee is needed because the four-member board, which includes one representative each from the Rockets and Astros and two from Comcast, cannot agree unanimously, as required by company regulations, on distribution agreements.
The Astros, however, replied, "What Comcast now disparages as 'dysfunction,' 'deadlock' and 'gridlock' is nothing more than the Astros' assertion of their bargained-for voting rights in this partnership."
The Astros' opposition to a court-appointed trustee covers mostly familiar ground from its previous filings in the case. It does, however, include at least three new revelations.
In one case, the Astros reveal that the Rockets and Astros have the right as of the network's first anniversary, which was Oct. 1, to force Comcast to accept carriage agreements with the likes of DirecTV, Dish Network, Suddenlink or AT&T U-verse if the teams wish to do so.
Comcast, the Astros said, does not have that right and is attempting through bankruptcy court, with the appointment of an interim trustee, to gain powers it does not have under the partnership agreement.
Another new element included in the Astros' filing is that the Astros and Comcast agreed in May to make capital contributions to the network, payable in three installments. The Astros agreed, but Comcast refused to make its third contribution unless all three partners agreed to fund, and the Rockets "elected to secure an appraisal of the network prior to making a funding decision."
The Rockets have declined since the involuntary Chapter 11 case was filed last month to comment on the matter, and team officials said Tuesday that no comment would be forthcoming.
Also, the Astros said that they and Comcast have made several proposals to restructure and recapitalize the network and that negotiations were under way when the Comcast affiliates "interrupted them" with the involuntary bankruptcy petition on Sept. 27. Astros owner Jim Crane said last week that the Astros had made such an offer, but this is the first time that acknowledgment has been included in court filings.
"Comcast's allegations of conflicts and deadlock are a smokescreen, designed to hide what is really going on here," the Astros said in their motion opposing appointment of a trustee. "Comcast orchestrated a collusive involuntary bankruptcy filing and is attempting to recast the valid exercise of bargained-for contract rights as a deadlock … (and) to facilitate its plan to acquire the Network's assets and the Astros' media rights without the Astros' consent."
The Astros also say that the appointment of a trustee would be fruitless because the team has the right to terminate its media rights agreement with Comcast if a trustee is appointed. The bankruptcy court has no jurisdiction over that decision, the team claims, because its media rights agreement is a personal services contract and a trademark license and cannot be reassigned under state law in Delaware, where the network is organized as a limited partnership.
"Appointing a trustee will not resolve this intra-partnership dispute," attorneys for the Astros wrote. "… All roads in this chapter 11 proceeding lead to a dead end." The team also says that a trustee is not needed because there is no allegation of "fraud, dishonesty, incompetence or gross mismanagement" as is required in such cases.
The ballclub's filing restates its position that the Astros exercised their right not to accept carriage fees contained in a "handful of informal proposals" from Comcast that were "significantly below" the monthly subscriber fees being paid by Comcast's Houston cable system, which makes up the bulk of CSN Houston's audience.
"The Astros have always been, and continue to be, willing to entertain unprofitable affiliation agreements if limited to a short term so as to allow for the network to renegotiate longer term profitable deals," the team said. "When, however, Comcast put forward proposals with terms – and, in particular, base rates – that would have resulted in the network not being profitable, the Astros exercised their consent right."
The Astros also say the trustee is not needed because there are no unaffiliated third-party creditors at risk in CSN Houston's operations.

Energy production to remain in flux according to Yampa Valley Data Partners
Steamboat Springs — Yampa Valley Data Partners' new economic analyst wrote about the future of the region's energy production in the organization's April newsletter.
Brandon Owens has a history of energy-related data work, including with Cambridge Energy Research Associates and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
In the newsletter, Owens covers the three main energy sources in the Yampa Valley: coal, oil and natural gas.
Owens wrote that fluctuating prices, changing technologies and an uncertain environmental regulation outlook have put the valley's energy production in flux similar to how the same factors have affected the national environment.
These factors will keep the Yampa Valley's energy production in flux beyond 2013, according to Owens.
The drop in Yampa Valley coal production in the past few years is expected to stabilize in 2013 despite persistent low prices for natural gas, Owens wrote.
Peabody Energy ramping up production at the Sage Creek Mine will supplement Twentymile Mine, which accounts for 60 percent of the region's production.
"Sage Creek has 110 million short tons of coal reserves, and owner Peabody Energy has signed a 16-year agreement to supply the Hayden coal-fired power station with Sage Creek coal," Owens wrote.
The outlook for oil in the Yampa Valley is positive as two emerging oil fields grow.
Horizontal drilling techniques have increased production in the Niobrara formation, and the Waddle Creek formation also has seen growth in the number of barrels it is producing per year. Continued high prices for oil and expanded hydraulic fracturing in Moffat County should extend this trend.
"Look for even higher levels of oil production in the Yampa Valley in the coming year," Owens wrote.
"The same drilling techniques that are available for oil production are also suitable for natural gas production," he wrote. "In this manner, natural gas has been the beneficiary of drilling technology improvements."
However, Owens explained, the market for natural gas is more regional than the oil market, and exploration is sensitive to falling prices caused by a glut in supply
"Yampa Valley's natural gas production has oscillated in response to changing natural gas prices," Owens wrote.

Ubuntu Edge Hits $12 Million in Pledges - 1 Day to Go
Quick Facts
- Exclusive to Indiegogo backers. The Edge will NOT be available to buy at launch.
- Specs to be finalised as late as possible to ensure the best available components.
- Dual-boots into Ubuntu mobile OS and Android; converts into a full desktop PC.
- Works with LTE and GSM networks, including Verizon and Sprint.
- Perks include all charges for US and UK, including VAT and delivery.
- Standard manufacturer warranty will apply once manufacturer is selected.Zero cost to backers if the campaign is unsuccessful.
In the Media
"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. Say hello to the Ubuntu Edge, the first smartphone to use open-source Ubuntu Touch software as well as Android"
"By this time next year, there could very well be one very elegant looking, monstrously powerful smartphone that can actually become a computer"
"In case you haven't been following the story, the Edge is an awfully handsome concept for a phone that will run Ubuntu and Android"
"Apparently the Ubuntu community is nuts about this idea. Within just under eight hours... some $2 million in donations to the project have flooded in, making it what's said to be the fastest and thus perhaps most successful crowdfunding effort ever seen"
What is Ubuntu Edge
In the car industry, Formula 1 provides a commercial testbed for cutting-edge technologies. The Ubuntu Edge project aims to do the same for the mobile phone industry -- to provide a low-volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts and mobile computing professionals. A pioneering project that accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them down into the mainstream.
This beautifully crafted smartphone is a proving ground for the most advanced mobile technologies on the horizon, a showpiece for true mobile innovation. And at the heart of it all is convergence: connect to any monitor and this Ubuntu phone transforms into an Ubuntu PC, with a fully integrated desktop OS and shared access to all files.
We're fascinated by converged computing, the idea that the smartphone in your pocket can also be the brain of the PC on your desk. We've shaped Ubuntu so you can transition seamlessly between the two environments. Now all that's needed is a phone that's designed from the ground up to be a PC as well.
The Ubuntu Edge is our very own superphone, a catalyst to drive the next generation of personal computing.
The Hardware
We've scoured the research labs of the biggest companies and most exciting startups for the latest and greatest mobile technologies to specify the first-generation Edge.
Crafted from cool, textured amorphous metal, the Edge has a distinctive, precise look but its rakishly chamfered edges are shaped to fit naturally in the palm -- our design prototype already has a wonderfully solid feel. It's the right size, too. Edge gestures are the next big thing in mobile, and our testing has found that a 4.5in screen is ideal for comfortable control of all four edges with one hand.
We also believe the race for ever higher resolution has become a distraction. Beyond 300ppi you're adding overhead rather than improving display clarity. We think colour, brightness and dynamic range are now the edge of invention so we'll choose a display for its balance of resolution, dynamic range and colour accuracy.
We'll protect that gorgeous display with something vastly tougher than glass: pure sapphire crystal, a material so hard only diamond could scratch it. For a phone to run a full desktop OS, it must have the raw power of a PC. We'll choose the fastest available multi-core processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a massive 128GB of storage. The battery will use silicon-anode technology, so we can squeeze more energy into the same dimensions.
With that kind of muscle, this phone can be your main PC anywhere -- and we really do mean anywhere. You can use the desktop wherever you can find a standard HDMI screen, and the dual-LTE chip will get you online with 4G even when you're travelling abroad. It's desktop computing gone truly mobile.
The Software
Next-generation hardware deserves innovative software. The Ubuntu Edge will dual-boot both the Ubuntu phone OS and Android, and convert into a fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC.
First, Ubuntu mobile. We designed the interface to create a beautiful home screen that's free from the usual clutter. You navigate by swiping over an edge of the screen: open your favourite apps on the left edge, switch instantly between open apps from the right, and use the system and app toolbars at the top and bottom respectively. It's so simple, Ubuntu doesn't need a home button at all.
Specialist data artists have designed Ubuntu's welcome screen, with graphics that evolve over time to reflect your use of the phone. We've reinvented the inbox so you can read and respond to texts, emails and social media posts in an instant.
From mobile... to desktop. Yes, it's the full Ubuntu desktop OS used by millions on a daily basis -- and it runs directly from the phone, so you'll be able to move seamlessly from one environment to the other with no file syncing or transfers required. The core OS and applications are fully integrated with their smartphone equivalents, so you can even make and receive calls from the desktop while you work.
Finally, you can also boot the phone into Android. And there's a good reason for that...
The Rollout Plan
As well as being a bonus for app developers and anyone with a big Android app collection, including Android on the phone means we're able to offer full convergence at launch. On day one, you'll be able to launch the Ubuntu desktop from within Android using our existing Ubuntu for Android app. That integration is fully functional today, as you can see from this video.
Then shortly after launch we'll push out a free software update that adds this desktop integration to Ubuntu mobile as well. That's the real goal we're working towards. At that point you'll have a leading-edge smartphone that runs Ubuntu and Android, both of which can also run a fully integrated Ubuntu desktop OS. What other phone can match that?
However you choose to use Ubuntu Edge, the incredible components will keep it running fast and fresh as our software evolves. We'll push out monthly Ubuntu software updates to add features and polish, and we guarantee to keep supporting the phone for three years.
For Developers
HTML5 apps written for other platforms can be brought over to Ubuntu with ease, and any web property can quickly be adapted to run as a web app, with its own icon and access to system services. For richer applications, use our QML toolkit for amazingly productive high-performance engineering.
But best of all, using the Ubuntu SDK you can write and upload a single native application that has desktop, tablet and phone interfaces. It's a developer's dream.

About the Project
We've been through a long creative process, from early concepts and sketches to 3D wireframes and a variety of test handsets. It's all led us to the beautiful Ubuntu Edge prototype that you see throughout this page.
The Ubuntu Edge is an exclusive production run, available only through Indiegogo. All of the funding we receive goes directly towards producing the device for expected delivery in May 2014. The only pockets getting filled by this campaign will be yours when the handset arrives.
A lot of people around the world have collaborated to get us this far. We have a beautiful prototype Ubuntu Edge handset, we have advanced Ubuntu software running across phone and desktop, we have experienced operators and manufacturing partners in place, and we have incredibly talented and passionate people to put it all together.
All we need now is you.
Risks and Challenges
Although our core business is software for PCs and the cloud, we know the phone industry pretty well too. We've been working with manufacturers and carriers, so everything we need is already in place. We also have a team based in Taiwan where the bulk of the production will occur; and we have engineers around the world who have built this kind of product before. We're well prepared for the journey ahead.
And it is going to be a journey. We've set such a high crowdfunding target for a good reason. Between design, certification and manufacture, the costs of building a new phone are huge -- but the more we produce, the lower the final cost of each handset. Setting such an ambitious target means a more competitive price per device.
Finally, the very nature of this concept device means the exact component list is fluid until we enter production to ensure we're picking the best available part at the time. If we are forced to change a major feature or component, we'll come up with something just as innovative to replace it. If you've backed us, you'll be kept right up to date.
Do I need to add the cost of shipping to my pledge?
If you live in the US or the UK, shipping is free. For all other destinations, please add the amount specified in the perk description. Local import taxes may apply.
I contributed to a perk but I forgot to add the extra $30 for shipping. How can I increase the amount?
No problem! If you'd like to add funds for shipping, you can make another contribution and select "No Perk, Just a Contribution."
I can't get my payment to work in Paypal, what should I do?
Email the Indiegogo Customer Happiness Team at�[email protected]. They'll be able to track your transaction and help with any issues.
What countries and mobile networks will support the Edge?
The Ubuntu Edge is an open device, not locked to any particular network. It works in all countries that provide GSM/3G/LTE-based network services. It will also support the two LTE standards to provide 4G mobile broadband connectivity around the world (subject to network availability and data fees). Before launch we will conduct interoperability testing with networks in Europe, the US, South America, China, India, the Middle East and Africa. This is a normal step in the process of developing a mobile device.
Will the phone receive updates after launch?
The desktop convergence feature will come to Ubuntu phone OS in an update shortly after launch. The OS will also receive daily developer images and frequent stable releases. This is an Open Device, so users can tinker with the software and use standard flashing tools to upload custom builds. If anything goes wrong, Ubuntu OS recovery mode takes you back to the original factory image.
Why set such a high funding goal?
It's all about scale. To offer the final product at a competitive price we need to produce enough volume to bring the unit costs down. At the same time, we want to be selecting parts that are not yet proven for multi-million-unit production. This is the balance we found. A lower funding target might seem more likely to succeed, but the individual perk amounts would have to be significantly higher. We believe this funding target and these perk levels give us the best chance of success.
What if you fail to reach the funding target?
We appreciate every bit of support we receive during the 30 days, and every backer will be welcomed into the Ubuntu community. If we don't reach our target then we will focus only on commercially available handsets and there will not be an Ubuntu Edge. All contributions will be fully refunded.
What warranties apply to the Ubuntu Edge?
A standard manufacturer warranty will apply. If you are not happy with the product, you may return it within 28 days of receiving it for a full refund. Please note, Canonical can not cover the cost of the return postage and packaging.
I pledged at a higher level, before you introduced the new amounts. Do I lose out?
If you contributed at the $830 Ubuntu Edge or $1,400 Double Edge levels before the new perks arrived, we'll issue you a refund of the difference once the campaign is successful. If you're happy with the amount you contributed, you can opt out of this refund by emailing us at�[email protected].
What if my question isn't answered here?
We're happy to respond to any other queries you might have about the Ubuntu Edge, the Indiegogo campaign, and our company as a whole. Email us at[email protected]

Original story: Kotaku is reporting on rumors that EA-owned Pandemic Studios will face a complete shutdown. Official word is expected later today as a source close to Pandemic alleges that nearly 200 staff members at the Los Angeles studio will be informed of the closure around 11 a.m. PST. Pandemic's remaining employees will be moved into various studios within EA while Panedmic's current project, The Saboteur, is rumored to be moved to EA's Montreal Studio -- the developers behind Army of Two.
Pandemic's early successes established the company as one to watch with titles like Full Spectrum Warrior, Star Wars: Battlefront, Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans. The closure is rumored to be caused by a few missteps when the company attempted an Australian expansion studio, which was compounded by the cancellation of Pandemic's Dark Knight game. Pandemic studios opened in 1998.
Tyler says: Since Saboteur is Pandemic's baby, will the company still get its logo thrown on the box? It would be a shame, especially considering that for a long time the game was developed without any publisher backing. It's also sad that Saboteur's release date is just around the corner. You'd figure EA would let the studio hang on at least until its game released.

Measurements, Part 1
Now that we have talked about defining Six Sigma and 10 stupid Six Sigma tricks, I'll move on to the measure phase and discuss some things that work and don't work in measuring the effect of Six Sigma. The new metric that Six Sigma brought to us was the sigma index, so let's start with it. Whenever I refer to this index, I will write out "sigma" and put scare quotes around it. This will get tiresome, but this is necessary to differentiate it from the statistical term for standard deviation. I'll tell you up front that I'm not a big fan of the sigma index for a couple of reasons, which I promise I'll get to.
But first, what is "sigma"?
This is a bit convoluted, I warn you.

South Dakota Goes Cold in Second Half, Loses in Women's Basketball Invitational Semis
Everything seemed to be going the way of the South Dakota women's basketball team at home Thursday night against McNeese State in the Women's Basketball Invitational semifinals, until they played the final 13 minutes of the game in the DakotaDome. That's when the Cowgirls heated up, the Coyotes cooled off, and USD's season came to and end following a 71-63 loss.
The Coyotes used red hot shooting and a slew of rebounds to build a 36-28 halftime advantage, on the strength of 50 percent shooting, and a defense that held the visiting Cowgirls to just 31 percent from the floor, while outrebounding McNeese State 26-14.
Senior Tempestt Wilson, playing in her final game in Vermillion, led the first half charge with 10 points.
The Coyotes seemed to pick up where they left off after intermission, scoring nine of the first 14 points of the second half to extend their lead to 45-33 with 13:07 left.
From there, everything changed.
Over the last 13 minutes, the Coyotes would take 19 shots and connect on just four (21%), while McNeese State was going on a tear, outscoring USD 38-18 the rest of the way to secure the come-from-behind victory.
South Dakota (19-16) was led by Nicole Seekamp's 20 points. Wilson added 15, Polly Harrington had 10. Lisa Loeffler led the way on the boards with 11 rebounds.
The Cowgirls (21-14) were led by the Baggett twins - Ashlyn and Caitlyn, who combined for 45 points on 14-for-32 shooting and all five of their team's three-pointers.
McNeese State advances to face Detroit the WBI Championship game next Wednesday night.
