As with the original flagship, Samsung is counting on the midrange phone's fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and extra apps to stand out.

The slow trickle of details about the "all new" HTC One teases continues as the handset maker takes to social media with a coy image that teases two camera lenses.
Invitations to the HTC One 2 launch will be sent in two weeks, but HTC also plans to focus more on cheaper phones this year.
HTC has taken the luscious metal body of its flagship mobile and reduced it to a slightly more pocketable size.
The HTC One Mini 2 has the same gorgeous metal design of the flagship One M8, but shrinks down the body -- and the specs.
While it has its sound limitations, particularly in the bass department, the downsized version of Scosche's BoomBottle H2O is a pretty decent little wireless speaker that's travel-friendly and repels water.
Phone will debut in gray, gold, and silver and will offer different camera tech than the dual lenses on the M8's back, according to the alleged photo.
With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.
A tweet from an HTC exec says the update has passed AT&T's testing and is targeted for tomorrow.
Keen to see what HTC's new flagship actually looks like? We'll be live blogging the event from the wee small hours of Wed morning.

This recipe was quick and easy. Kind of different, but really tasty! My coating didn't stick that well, so next time I'd make sure to crush the potato chips (I just used regular kettle cooked ones) really small and to press into the mayo well. I will put a bit more wasabi powder in next time too, to make it a bit spicier.
Excellent recipe!!! The salmon was very moist and flavorful. Sprayed a foil-lined baking sheet with Pam. Used a 10 oz. bag of kettle chips, which were well crushed and pressed into the mayo, as suggested by another reader. We tripled the Wasabi powder, plused used Wasabi paste for added flavor. It was NOT spicy hot. The bake time was longer than 20 minutes. It reheated very well in the microwave at 50% power for a short time. The only thing lost in reheating was the crunchiness of the chips, but the moistness and flavor was still there. Definately a 5 star recipe.
this dish is good. i made a 3/4 lb. salmon steak, so i only used 1/4 cup mayo to about 3 tsp wasabi paste. i first used the wasabi powder and was completely disappointed by the flavor. i dumped that batch of mayo and started again, but only with the paste. much better. the powder does not taste good to me. i also added garlic to my mayo. salmon turned out good, but still not enough flavor. so i mixed up lemon juice with a tsp or so of the wasabi paste to drizzle over. that was awesome!!! i suggest that to everyone. it gave it the kick it was missing.

My wife and I are primarily cat lovers. Over the years we have been responsible for finding forever homes for about 15 cats that we have rescued in DeKalb County.
While the experience has been rewarding, it has also been expensive considering the vet bills, food, medicine, and some damage to our personal property. We have had to sacrifice in other ways, for example, not traveling as much as we'd like and waking up at 3AM to the sound of cats using the litter box.
However we know we have it easy compared to the other foster and rescue people who have saved animals from their fate at the DeKalb Animal Shelter. We'd like to hear more about other people who have made similar and greater sacrifices in the name of saving lives.

Understanding the Student Conduct Process
What is it?
The Student Disciplinary Policy is the University's process in handling allegations of misconduct by UIC students. The Student Disciplinary Policy addresses both academic misconduct (such as plagiarism, cheating, or grade tampering) and behavioral misconduct (such as theft, assault, under-age drinking, and drug-use.)
The main purpose of the Student Disciplinary Policy is to insure that students receive due process - which means that every student should have a fair opportunity to express their side of the story before any decisions are made about their disciplinary case. The Student Disciplinary Policy was designed to be educational in nature.
How It Works
When a complaint is filed about a student, a Referral Review Committee will evaluate academic cases while behavioral misconduct cases are reviewed by the Dean of Students in Student Affairs. The Referral Review Committee is made up of at least one faculty and student representative from the UIC Senate and a representative from the student's college. Neither the complaintant nor the student are present, but the student is welcome to submit a statement to either the committee or the Dean of Students to be included with their case.
After a case has been reviewed, a decision is made on a number of possible options including that a hearing be held. If a case is sent to a formal hearing, the student will be notified as soon as possible. On the day of the hearing, both the complainant and the student are present to discuss the case with a hearing panel. Hearing panels will include faculty, staff and/or student representatives.

Once the case has been heard, the panel will decide if the student is responsible for the charges and, if so, what types of sanctions are appropriate.
Students found responsible for misconduct are given the option to file an appeal. Grounds for appeal are listed in the Student Disciplinary Policy.

Guidelines for Academic Integrity
University of Illinois at Chicago
December 24,1985
As an academic community, the University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to providing an environment in which research, learning, and scholarship can flourish and in which all endeavors are guided by academic and professional integrity. All members of the campus community -- students, staff, faculty, administrators -- share the responsibility of insuring that these standards are upheld so that such an environment exists. Instances of academic misconduct by students, and as defined herein, shall be handled pursuant to the Student Disciplinary Policy.
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:
Either intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, people, or study aids in any academic exercise, or extending to or receiving any kind of unauthorized assistance on any examination or assignment to, or, from another person.
Knowing or unauthorized falsification, reproduction, lack of attribution, or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
Facilitating Academic Dishonesty/Plagiarism
Intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise.
Bribes, Favors, Threats
Bribing or attempting to bribe, promising favors to or making threats against, any person, with the intention of affecting a record of a grade, grade, or evaluation of academic performance. Any conspiracy with another person who then takes or attempts to take action on behalf or at the direction of the student.
Examination by Proxy
Taking or attempting to take an exam for someone else other than the student is a violation by both the student enrolled in the course and the proxy or substitute.
Grade Tampering
Any unauthorized attempt to change, actual change of, or alteration of grades or any tampering with grades.
Non-Original Works
Submission or attempt to submit any written work authored, in whole or part, by someone other than the student.
Non-Original Works
Submission or attempt to submit any written work authored, in whole or part, by someone other than the student.
Penalties for Academic DishonestyAll allegations of student academic misconduct shall be handled pursuant to the Student Disciplinary Policy.
Academic Integrity Review Process (pdf)
How to Report Academic/Behavioral Misconduct
Judicial Liaison Process
For cases involving academic misconduct, the complainant may choose to submit the case to the Judicial Liaison process. Only students who do not have a prior disciplinary case are eligible for this process. While this process is less formal, it is still designed to insure that students are treated fairly.
In the Judicial Liaison process, the student will be called in to discuss the case with the Executive Director of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline. The issue is discussed and the student is presented with the complainant's suggested sanction. The student will then choose to accept or decline the sanction. If the student declines the sanction, the complainant can resubmit the case to the formal process.
Ethics Training Workshops
This six-hour program is intended to promote the principles of ethics and decision making and enhance the skills of students who are leaders on the UIC campus, within the Chicago-land community, within UIC classrooms, or among family and friends. The participants will receive an introductory discussion outlining the subject matter as well as be assigned weekly readings, which are to be read prior to the following session. The class material and readings will be the basis for group discussions and interactions. The participants will also engage in group decision making exercises which will require them to apply the program content in response to a hypothetical ethical dilemma. In addition, the program will conclude with a Formulation of Learning Evidence Challenge, which will measure the level of learning attainted by the participants.
This program is not for credit and cannot be failed. However, participants' inability to complete the program, including the Challenge, will not be sufficient for certification of completion for the program. Participants are expected to arrive on time, take notes, read all assignments, be active in group discussions and exercises and complete the Challenge at the end of the program. All assignments will be distributed during the workshop. This program is offered at no cost to participants.

Aren't most people fired for just cause? Also, I always that most states are at-will states, which means they can fire you for any reason at all.
I always thought you could file unemployment only if you are let go/fired, but not if you quit. Maybe they are hoping that you quit. DO NOT.
Also, if he knew you had access to his email, what's the big deal? He must have some shit on their that he wondered if you saw. You should say nobody ever told you that you could not have personal access to his emails, that you dont have time to read themand clicked on it by accident. Stick to whatever story you had, and don't waiver.

Before every game, Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson writes a message on his wrist to carry with him.
Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, the message was poise.
Wilson, the former N.C. State quarterback playing his first NFL game in the Carolinas, led his team to a 16-12 victory against the Panthers by staying poised under pressure and delivering his best game statistically of the season.
Today was poise, Wilson said. No matter whats going on in the game, bring that to the table, bring that to our offense. And we definitely did that today.
Wilson completed 19 of his 25 passes for a career-high 221 yards and a late third-quarter touchdown. He tossed two interceptions -- one of which was returned by Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn for a touchdown -- but his coach was pleased with everything else.
I thought he played fantastic today, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. He did everything well. He threw one ball on his back hip and everything else was dead on the money. I thought his third down execution was great. I thought he was big time.
Before Sundays game, ESPN reported that should Wilson struggle on third downs, Carroll may call Matt Flynns number at quarterback. Wilson had his worst game last week, passing for 160 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.
Against Carolina, the Seahawks placed an emphasis on third-down conversions. They were 50 percent on third downs, with Wilson converting five third-down conversions out of 10 via passing.
For as much as he had attempted to block out the scrutiny this week, Wilson heard it.
I use it as fire, Wilson said. I trust in what Im doing and the steps Im taking every single day to get there early and watch tons of film and take tons of notes. All that attention to detail to be good at what you do, I can never let that waver.
Just keep working, keep playing and stay humble. Its just one game.
Wilson was 12-for-13 in the first half. He targeted former South Carolina wide receiver Sidney Rice four times, and Rice had 56 first-half receiving yards.
Rice, a former Gaffney (S.C.) High star, said he gave at least 100 tickets to friends and family for Sundays game. He finished with five catches for 67 yards.
Hes a young guy always looking for guidance but hes handled himself really well through the first five games. Rice said of Wilson. Im sure hell continue to come along.
One mistake Wilson promised to note was Munnerlyn interception. Wilsons first pass of the second half to tight end Anthony McCoy was undercut by Munnerlyn and returned 33 yards for Carolinas first score.
Later in the quarter Wilson made amends.
On third-and-8 from the 13, Wilson checked his first and second reads before seeing Golden Tate flash underneath for the touchdown.
The main thing is just have amnesia, whether its good or bad you have to forget about it and play one play at a time, Wilson said. Thats what it takes to be great. Im not saying Im great at all, but thats what it takes to get there.
At the end of his post-game press conference, Wilson was asked if he was able to catch N.C. States 17-16 upset victory against Florida State the night before. Wilson, the Wolfpacks three-year starter before transferring to Wisconsin, admitted the game kept him up later than he wanted, but he was pleased with the outcome.
Thanks, guys, Wilson said stepping away from the podium. Go Pack.

Jane E. Herman, New York, , New York
Age: 50
As a tribute to my mom, who never knew she carried a BRCA mutation, my journey has been marked by efforts to raise awareness about hereditary cancer.
I'm more than my risk… some fun facts about myself:

Add your Voice
If you'd like to add your own story to our Voices of FORCE pages, please complete our Voices of FORCE form.
My journey
My BRCA journey began quite suddenly in 2010, when after losing our mother to exceedingly virulent triple negative breast cancer in seven weeks' time, my sister and I pursued genetic couseling and testing. Although my sister tested negative, I carry the same mutation that we surmised my mother carried, and which we now know her sister also carries.
The hardest part of my journey
The hardest part of my journey has been the emotional piece. Because we only learned of my mother's BRCA+ status after her death, I cannot help but wonder what she (and her doctors) might have done differently had her status been known to them at the time she was diagnosed -- or even at some point along the way. Could those actions and/or treatments have extended her life? Had she known of her status, would she have done the same things I did to protect myself from breast and ovarian cancer? Would she have been supportive of my surgery decisions?
If I could do it over again
No. I believe that I made all the right decisions for me...and I allowed myself to come to those decisions based on my own timeframe and experiences. I was not pressured into doing anything that I was not prepared to do. Furthermore, despite continuing challenges, I am exceedingly pleased with my reconstruction and know that DIEP reconstruction, despite its more complex surgery and longer recovery period was absolutely the right choice for me.
My participation with FORCE
As the only known BRCA+ person in my family at the time, it was exceedingly helpful (and emotional) for me to meet other BRCA+ women when I attended my first FORCE meeting in December 2010, just prior to my hysterectomy. I remember being especially awed by one of the coordinators who told me she'd had a PBM a few years earlier and to see her there -- completely healed, normal in every way, and confident enough to talk openly and honestly about her experience. I'm pleased to say that she and I now work together as FORCE Outreach Coordinators in our city.

Pella —
Where was the Franklin Center School located? "When I was student there during the the 40s Darrell Gifford of Redland, CA writes: "Head south from Pleasantville on Hwy 60. At the junction with Hwy 92, continue south on Hwy 181. Turn west at the Kading corner and go past the big round barn. The school will be on the right across from the Darnell place."
Sixty year later, I have to rely on Google Earth for this answer: "Head south from Pleasantville on Hwy 5. At the junction with Hwy 92 continue south on S45. Turn right on Newbold St. and proceed west for approximately .6 mile. The county maintenance facility on the right occupies the former site of the school."
The Knoxville Journal of April 18,1888 tells us that Miss Spence has gone home with measles and her sister is filling her place.
When Miss Lizzie Leonard finished her term in 1891, she received a gift of a photograph album. In May of that year the school burned to the ground. K. Journal
In 1925, long before most schools were considering school reunions former Franklin Center students were gathering for a basket dinner at Aulds' Park. Eighty attended this 2nd reunion, but "because of the heat, games were omitted for the greater part. A few of less strenuous were indulged. Dr. A. F. Keeton gave a fine talk." K. Journal
I don't know what happened to the school building after it closed but an article from an old Pleasantville newspaper says that at auction, there was no bid high enough to suit the directors but they did sell the coal shed to Donald Shivvers for $46.00.
Mr. Gifford wrote several delightful "slices of life" about his years as a student in Franklin Center School. These have been placed in the binder at the schoolhouse in the Marion County Park. Here is the one called WET PANTS:
"Harsh winter weather was not considered an excuse for missing school. There were no snow days at Franklin Center There was, however, a cold weather procedure followed by my mother.
Breakfast was hot oatmeal with milk, a cup of hot cocoa, a glass of water, and, if we could afford it, orange juice.
Clothing began with long underwear and woolen socks. Then a flannel shirt, overalls and lace-up work shoes were added. Coveralls and overshoes came next. The final layer consisted of mackinaw coat, a cap with earflaps tied down, a neck scarf and mittens.
Thus dressed and fed, I would head out for Franklin Center on my trusty pony. After bouncing for the two mile distance to the school, the first order of business after tying up the pony was to visit the boys' outhouse to eliminate the considerable amount of breakfast fluid.
On one memorable winter day sleet was falling as I left for school. The temperature hovered well below freezing and the sleet was sticking to whatever it touched. Layers of ice were forming on tree limbs.
Once at school, I hastily tied up the pony and headed for the boys' outhouse. Alas, the sleet had frozen the door closed. I removed my mittens and tried to claw the door open with no luck. In desperation, I went behind the toilet, out of sight of the schoolhouse, for relief. I managed to undo the large buttons on the mackinaw coat. Then got the zipper of the of the coveralls down. But I could not manipulate the small metal buttons on the fly of my overalls. My hands were virtually paralyzed from the cold and the sleet.
Nature took its course.
Reluctantly, I entered the schoolhouse. Though the teacher kept a roaring fire in the coal burning stove on cold days, its warmth was hardly noticeable more than a few feet away. On such days, we all kept most of our winter wraps on during school. The many layers of my winter attire absorbed the urine without a telltale outward stain. Fortunately, my desk was on the side of the room opposite the stove. Because I never really thawed out, there was no obvious odor.
If anyone noticed my predicament, nothing was said and I never confessed. To this day, all of my jeans have zippers-not buttons."

Iran fires new generation of missilesThe New York Times | January 01,2013Iranian forces fired what military officers said was a new generation of surface-to-air missiles Monday during a wide-ranging naval exercise that focused on striking hypothetical unmanned aircraft and vessels in international waters to the south of the country, Iranian media reported.
The missiles were fired on the fourth day of a six-day naval exercise that started Friday, when Iran announced that it had begun the exercises that would test a new version of its Thunder surface-to-air midrange missile. They were meant to demonstrate the countrys defense of its territorial waters, the official Islamic Republic News Agency said.
In addition, Iran deployed warships and helicopters to escort commercial ships and oil tankers as part of a drill meant to show the countrys ability to combat piracy, it reported. The exercise also included drills using Iranian-made drones and submarines.
The semiofficial Fars news agency quoted an Iranian naval commander, Rear Adm. Alireza Nayyeri, as saying that the navy had boosted and upgraded the capability of its domestically manufactured drone aircraft.
The exercise was conducted in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which much of the worlds oil and cargo shipments pass, as well as in the Gulf of Oman, the Gulf of Aden and the northern Indian Ocean, IRNA reported. Accounts in the state-run media said the war games covered a 400,000-square-mile area.
Iran holds military exercises regularly to demonstrate its defense capabilities in the strategic Persian Gulf region, where about 30 percent of the worlds energy supplies are transported. The U.S. Navy maintains a carrier force in the area and stations its 5th Fleet in Bahrain. U.S. forces conduct naval exercises with other countries in the region, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The news agencies did not say that the exercises were directed against a specific threat, but tensions with the United States have been percolating over a U.S.-led campaign of international sanctions designed to pressure Iran over its disputed nuclear energy program. Iran has previously threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the sanctions.
In December Iran said that the naval forces of Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps captured a U.S. drone that had entered its airspace over the Persian Gulf. Officials identified it as a ScanEagle, built by Boeing, an aircraft that can be launched and operated from ships, the company said on its website. The U.S. Navy denied losing any drones, but the unmanned aircraft could have been operated by the CIA or the National Security Agency.
Several Persian Gulf countries also have ScanEagle drones.
Pentagon officials said in November that Iranian warplanes had fired on a Predator unmanned aircraft, believed to be the first time Iranian warplanes had fired on a U.S. drone. Iran said the Predator had violated is airspace, an assertion that U.S. officials dismissed.MORE IN Wire NewsUNITED NATIONS Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack on a U.N.

The Affordable Care Act was passed into law. It withstood challenges in court. And its implementation began four years ago.
So what are House Republicans doing by stalling the budgeting process, shutting down federal government services and demanding that President Obama modify the ACA?
Answer: Undertaking an exercise in futility, wasting time and diverting the attention of the American people.
Whatever you think of the Affordable Care Act, it's the law of the land. It is happening. Right here. Right now. There is no turning back.
That's the message that Obama has delivered to tea party Republicans, who've done nothing but serve as obstructionists.
Don't forget, the Affordable Care Act was written during Obama's first term in office. Then he was re-elected to a second term by American voters. Talk about the will of the American people.
The recent launch of the Health Insurance Marketplace, a key provision of the ACA, is tangled in red tape. Without a doubt, it has its problems.
But the main thrust of the ACA, to provide affordable health care and health insurance to millions of Americans who have not been able to afford either, is noble.
The bottom line: The ACA is the law. House Republicans should give up this silly charade that portrays it as something that can be negotiated away. Above all, they should stop holding the federal budget hostage.
In summary House Republicans should give up this silly charade that portrays the Affordable Care Act as something that can be negotiated away.

3:34pm Thursday 20th December 2012 in News By Joe Nimmo, Senior reporter. Call me on (01865) 425373
THE two men convicted of murdering homeless man Denis Witney have been sentenced to life in prison.
Both Wayne Cattell and Daniel McCollin were today ordered to spend a minimum of 17 years in prison for an assault which took place last November inside a house in St Clement's, in Oxford.
Sentencing the two men Judge Patrick Eccles said they were guilty of a "vicious, unrestrained attack on a helpless man" which had caused great pain to his family.

Note: you may need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader first.
Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information
FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up.
To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style).
Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.

With the explosive growth in API use in every sector, business unit leaders at enterprises that are undergoing digital transformations are calling upon their chief security officers and chief information security officers to ensure the security of APIs.
Security must be built into the APIs themselves. But that's not enough. Threat protection, identity services, infrastructure security, and compliance also must be top of mind. This eBook provides a framework to help CSOs and CISOs consider API security.
OAuth has become standard practice for large social media APIs and it's becoming common across enterprise APIs. OAuth is good for your customers' security and experience making is critical if you want adoption on your API.

Original recipe yields 10 servings
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gelatin mix, sugar, lime juice, and boiling water for one minute, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Cover, and chill for one hour, or until slightly thickened.
- When the gelatin mixture is thick, whip with a whisk or electric mixer until light in color, and double in volume. Whisk in whipped topping, and fold in blueberries. Lightly grease a 5 or 6 cup gelatin mold, and fill with the gelatin mixture. Chill for 4 hours, or until firm. Carefully unmold onto a platter, and serve.

I cheated on this one and used blackberries instead of the blueberries. Just in case anyone is having a dificult time finding the 3 oz. box of jello, it's actually 0.3 oz. I used the sugar free kind, and light cool whip. I poured the mix into the mold before adding the blackberries, and refrigerated it overnight. It came out of the mold beautifully, although I left it in the warm water a little too long(the top melted just a tiny bit). I will definitely use this recipe again.
This is really good. Bf hasn't tried it so I'll have to update when he does, but I like it. It's light and fluffy. Pretty easy, too. I put the timer on for an hour so I wouldn't accidently allow the jello to gel completely, and it really didn't look that thickened to me but I went ahead and whipped it and added the remaining ingredients anyway. It worked perfectly fine. It does take some whisking, so be prepared for some exercise or use a mixer. I used my stand mixer and it probably needed about 3-4 minutes on high speed to fluff up. I put some in 4 6 oz ramekins and the rest in a 2 quart bowl (I don't have a jello mold) and it filled the 2 quart bowl a little over half full, so this does get a number of servings. I guess I didn't grease the ramekins that well bc a little bit stuck to it. It's sort of a pale lime green color; my picture doesn't do it justice, unfortunately--it just looks off white in the pic. :o( Thanks for the recipe!
This was even better than I thought it would be. I wasn't sure about the added sugar, but it was just right and made for a really nice combination of flavors. It was a big hit at the potluck I took it to & I only got a little bite of my dad's because it was already gone by the time I got to it.

Thirty-year-old Charles L. Edwards was convicted Thursday of having unlawful sex with a student. He admitted having sex with an 18-year-old female student while teaching vocal music at Wichita Northwest High School.
Edwards' attorney, Steve Mank, says Edwards agreed to the conviction so he could appeal the state law that makes it illegal to have sex with a student of any age.
Mank told The Wichita Eagle that he plans to argue on appeal that the law is unconstitutional when it involves consensual sex with an adult student.
Edwards will be sentenced May 17.

Huge market volume for intelligent industrial robots in China
Control Engineering International: With increasing labor costs and labor employment adjustments, China's manufacturing industry is losing the advantage of low-cost labor to Southeast Asian countries. Increased use of industrial robots lowers production costs and frees workers from tedious labor so they can move into positions of higher technical and management skills, said Control Engineering China.
With the increasing labor cost and labor employment adjustment, China's manufacturing industry is losing the advantage of low-cost labor and to Southeast Asian countries whose labor cost is lower. Recently Ma Xiaohe, sub decanal of the Academy of Macroeconomic Research, NDRC, said that the era of driving domestic economic growth by large export has ended. Urbanization and new industrialization will be the next engines of economic growth. Chinese manufacturing needs move to high-end stratification and reduce low-end production.
In fact China's manufacturing industry is upgrading its production lines to deal with increasing domestic labor costs. Replacing personnel with industrial robots is one the most effective ways to do this. It lowers overall production costs and frees workers from tedious physical labor so they can move up to positions that require higher technical and management skills.
Moving production to countries with lower-cost labor isn't the only way to reduce enterprise costs. For example, it has been reported that to lower production costs, Japanese Canon, which insists on domestic manufacturing, plans to automate all of its production lines and will find new positions for the workers on those lines. For the U.S., recent competitive manufacturing enhancements have included highly productive automatic production lines.
When it comes to replacing personnel with robots in production lines, there is no doubt that China has the late-mover advantage. The "eyes" of traditional robots are mainly industrial sensors, such as pressure sensors and position sensors, and thus they can only execute predefined instructions within a strictly restricted environment without sensing and reacting to the environment, which limits robotic applications. Now so-called intelligent robots can achieve effective motion control using machine vision and need not be instructed or offline programmed for their motion path, which saves a lot of programming effort and boosts productivity and product quality.
As machine vision technology is refined, it will eliminate the additional requirements of distinguishing characteristics and lighting. Sorting robots, for example, have huge applications potential in food, beverage, and packaging industries. For sorting middle- and small-sized objects, they have obvious advantages over humans, considering efficiency and cost, as they can sort quickly and inexhaustibly. It is said that the main components and modules of such robots are easily available in the marketplace. As long as the manufacturers have core control programming technologies, their robots can do sorting work. Although sorting precision may not be very high, the available precision is fine for many industries. Thus, some domestic enterprises enter into this area and roll out their own brands of robots, and the robot prices range widely, targeting different requirements.
The Chinese industrial market for intellectual robots serving production lines will be huge. Cooperative integration, synchronized integration, and vision-guided motion control are the important technical areas involved.

Five technology trends have the potential to be disruptive to CIOs and IT organizations. They will be vital in reshaping the delivery of mission critical IT services to organizations and end users.
"With tight cost controls remaining an everyday fact of life, organizations are looking for technologies that save money, increase worker productivity, and solve pressing security issues. We expect to see organizations make highly targeted investments in emerging technologies for very practical uses in mission critical environments." - Fred Dillman, Unisys chief technology officer
We invite you to explore each of these Disruptive IT Trends. Learn how to turn these trends from disruptive to productive in your organization.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing should be a strategic area of focus for CIOs and senior business leaders. This is due to the overwhelming agility and economic advantages of this new IT delivery model that touches nearly every aspect of IT. A common framework is essential for all IT service delivery models. It includes cloud, which addresses governance, security, integration, processes, policies, applications, and architecture within the context of three core areas: Applications, Data Centers, and Management.
Employees have been at the heart of the mobility revolution. They have been blending personal, and business technology to make themselves more productive. This "Consumerization of IT" struck at the heart of every standardized, built-for-cost enterprise infrastructure. Now, increasingly we see enterprises taking back control over mobility as a core part of their business and IT strategies to drive revenue, enhance customer engagement, and be more competitive. However, some are more successful than others in taking advantage of the opportunities mobility creates. Who are these Mobile Trendsetters and what are they doing to get ahead and stay ahead? What can your organization learn from them about strategy, policy and governance to avoid falling into the Mobile Void? What business benefits do these Trendsetters achieve through a mature approach to mobility?
Smart computing is all about utilizing the incredible processing power of today's computing environments. Smart computing optimizes business decisions in real time and converts the ever-growing flood of data into both meaningful information and actionable intelligence. The strategic significance of smart computing in today's globally-connected business environment is compelling. By 2015, there will be more interconnected devices on the planet than humans. The issue is broader than simply a storage issue around "big data". What's required is intelligent data analytics that can interpret data streams in real-time and make appropriate and automated business decisions.
By having a logical framework for understanding cyber security, and the major domains it represents, enterprises can implement their cyber strategies and develop specific plans tailored for each domain. The challenge is far broader than simply addressing one issue such as securing mobile devices or securing cloud computing environments. It is about developing a comprehensive mission critical strategy and logical framework to address all of these inter-related trends.
Social computing is an important strategic platform for increasing workplace collaboration and knowledge management. It is also a platform for modernizing enterprise applications to connect collaboration with business processes and transactions. The benefit is tangible productivity gains and customer value. Addressing both parts of this equation – social-enabling "horizontal" strategic knowledge management functions and "vertical" mission critical business applications – is key to unlocking the full potential of social computing in the enterprise.
Today's Chief Information Officer needs more than just information. He needs intelligence. Moreover, he needs intelligence on how his business is performing, what his options are, and what actions to take. And all this must be real-time or he risks acting based on outdated intelligence. This is where VantagePoint℠ comes into play.
Unisys VantagePoint employs a People Computing approach to delivering consolidated service views of the business. This provides a business-oriented view of what is going on within IT operations, offering visibility across all towers, suppliers, projects and groups in three service views:
Unisys VantagePoint Business Views showcase business impact, alignment, and business value.

The best decisions require VantagePoint.
Cloud Advisory Services provide strategic and financial guidance on aligning IT to business objectives. This starts with a roadmap that outlines the vision of a hybrid enterprise based on a combination of existing data center, internal cloud, and external cloud resources to provide agility, flexibility, and control.
— Allan Steele, VP/CIO DART
Cloud-based computing necessitates shifting from a traditional to a hybrid IT infrastructure. This requires the right skills, resources, and operating procedures to automate provisioning and meet business, IT, and user demands. Despite the clear business advantages, many organizations hesitate to embrace cloud solutions because of significant concerns about protecting proprietary data from security breaches.
— Peter Clarke, Isle of Man Chief Technology Officer

text: We need to transport a mama dog and six puppies to a rescue in Rochester, NY. The pups are 3-4 weeks old and will need to stay in a crate at all times. They are in a very temporary situacion right now and we need them transported as soon as possible. This poor mama dog has been through a lot. We believe she was chained and she strained so hard against the chain it broke blood vessels in her eyes. She was dumped at Animal Control and had a rescue that was interested in her, but when we pulled her the shelter had pulled some of her pups for adoption and replaced them with pups from another liter. They also told us she was a lab mix and she is a Pit mix, so the first rescue backed out completely. This mama dog is one of the sweetest dogs she just wants to be cuddled. The pups are adorbale too. They deserve a chance at a better life that is waiting for them......we just need a ride! Thanks so much.

CHERRY HILL, N.J., May 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru Rally Team USA driver Sverre Isachsen enthralled a capacity crowd at the season opener of the 2014 Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship in Barbados, part of Top Gear Live Festival. In the Final, Isachsen in the #11 Subaru WRX STI became locked in a thrilling duel for third overall with rival Nelson Piquet JR. The two drivers battled each other with tight door-to-door racing that brought the crowd to their feet. Isachsen was classified in 6th overall at the finish.
After struggling with a blown tire in the first heat race, Isachsen found success in the third heat race, finishing 2nd overall to advance straight to the Final. For Isachsen this was the eighth straight event where he has advanced to the Final. His teammate Bucky Lasek, driving the #81 Subaru STI, finished third in his initial seeding heat but in the process experienced a critical engine problem forcing him to retire from the event.
Isachsen started the Final from the 2nd row of the grid and after a great launch found himself in third overall with rival Nelson Piquet JR challenging from behind. The two would go on to captivate the massive crowd with incredible door-to-door racing action, swapping positions with each other several times and bumping doors nearly every lap.
Although Isachsen held off Piquet JR for most of the battle he landed heavily on the dirt jump late in the race, causing critical damage to his STI. Isachsen was classified in sixth overall at the finish. The capacity crowd roared for Isachsen as he exited his Subaru, clearly enamored with his driving efforts.
"An incredible race, I fought very hard and I'm happy the fans enjoyed it!" said Isachsen. "We struggled a little bit this weekend on setup, driving for the first time on the new spec tire, but I think we made some good steps forward and we are ready to fight at the X Games!"
The 2014 Red Bull Global Rallycross kickoff event at Top Gear Festival Barbados will air on NBC, Saturday May 24th at 5pm.

Al Goreís Inconvenient Lies to come with a warning label
A judge at Britain High Court is poised to rule that Al Gore's magus hokum on celluloid – The Inconvenient Truth – is "political propaganda" and "brain-washing." Hence, British schools can only assign it with accompanying warnings alerting children that it is "one-sided" and "biased." The judge, who will formally announce his decision next week, reportedly has identified 11 counts of flat-out lies and exaggerations in the movie. Among the lies: The snows of Mount Kilmanjaro are melting because of global warming. Among the exaggerations: Al Gore claims that sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland "in the near future". The judge found that, at best, this would happen after, and over, millenia. Let's just hope that the opinion is not too late to derail Al Gore's prospects of winning the Noble Peace Prize to be announced tomorrow.

After being recognized for our innovative work relieving rural poverty, I am excited to share that Agros has wrapped up a very successful two-year collaboration with the World Bank. In 2008, Agros was selected along with 100 other winners from a pool of over 1,800 applicants to receive $200,000 from the World Bank Development Marketplace Competition – a competitive grant program that identifies and funds innovative, early-stage projects with high potential for development impact – to implement our project proposal.
Our project, "Land Ownership for the Rural Poor in Mexico," was designed to purchase land for two rural farming communities in Mexico, and has since resulted – with support from other generous partnerships and foundations – in the formation of Santa Fe Ajké and Nueva Ilusión. Not only was this a big step for our Mexico office, but it was also a huge achievement for Agros: our innovative model was recognized by a prestigious institution, and we benefited from the expertise and support of the World Bank staff that came alongside us for this project.
Through our partnership with the World Bank, Agros was able to expand to a new region in Chiapas, Mexico—the Guatemala border region in Comitán. Chiapas is one of the poorest states in Mexico, and Comitán is infamous for ethnic and economic persecution of the vast number of Guatemalan refugees who fled there during the 36-year civil war that ended in 1996.
While visiting Comitán in 2007 in order to prepare for the establishment of Santa Fe Ajké, one man recounted to me the community's 10-year struggle with the Mexican government to connect to a local water system. Instead of providing for the families' basic need for water, politicians ignored the obvious urgent needs. Abandoned by both the Guatemalan and Mexican governments, one member said he felt as though the community was "not here nor there," like citizens of neither country.
Thankfully, with the generous support of partners such as the World Bank, First Fruit Foundation, SG Foundation, and the individual networks that comprise the Santa Fe Ajké and Nueva Ilusión JWAV groups, several families from the group I visited in 2007 started the first Agros community in Comitán: Santa Fe Ajké. From the beginning, the hard work of its community members has been evident in their motivation to continue despite two years of challenging weather, including drought and torrential rain. For Nueva Ilusión it has been a long journey to find productive land at a reasonable price, but in June 2010 the land was finally purchased. These two communities have accomplished all of the goals set forth in the project agreement, including:
Santa Fe Ajké
- Defined vision and values, plus a three year village development plan
- Established seven distinct crops for food security and income generation
- Built 20 houses and 20 latrines
- Established a water distribution system
- Received their promissory notes for their land loans
Nueva Ilusión
- Defined their vision statement and new community name
- Selected and purchased land
- Defined vision and values, plus a three year village development plan
- Established four distinct crops for food security, two which are sold for income generation
- Built has 20 houses and 20 latrines
Looking ahead, Santa Fe and Nueva Ilusión still have critical steps to take that will create sustainable, long-term growth. Though the work with the World Bank has ended, Agros will continue our work for several more years in each of these communities to ensure that they are on the path to land ownership and lasting success. You can follow these communities progress along their journey in the Village Updates by going to the Our Villages tab on our website. Thank you for your continued support!

FORT MILL — Fort Mill is getting another hotel.
Last fall, Warren Norman Co. unveiled plans to develop a six-story, 102-room Hampton Inn and Suites behind Lowes Home Improvement off S.C. 160. Now the company has plans for another.
We have contracted with a second hotel, said Ralph Norman, company president.
Norman didnt say which hotel brand is coming, but said its on another site nearby the Hampton Inn and will be in Fort Mill town limits. The second hotel will be a little bit smaller at 90 or so rooms.
Itll be a national brand, said Norman, an S.C. House Republican from Rock Hill.
When they open, the two will be the only hotels or motels operating inside Fort Mill town limits.
Norman said his company will announce the name along with groundbreaking of the first hotel, likely within the month.
Town Manager Dennis Pieper said the town is excited to be working with a company with an outstanding reputation for building first-class projects.
The hotel will be a great economic development project that fills a void for much-needed accommodations for those conducting business and for those visiting the area, he said. The project will provide additional job opportunities, tax revenues and more to the town.
Norman said it wouldnt be surprising to see more hotels interested in York County, particularly Fort Mill. He sees the area as a destination for a variety of travelers. He also sees the hotels as a benefit to the local tax base.
Fort Mill is a hotbed of activity, Norman said. And of course now its commercial, which pays the bills.
The new hotel in Fort Mill will enter a region where many seem to think its needed.
Last week, developers broke ground on a new Embassy Suites hotel at Ayrsley in Charlottes Steele Creek area, just across the border in North Carolina. Its the third hotel within that 185-acre development.
Southwest Mecklenburg and the communities of Steele Creek, Fort Mill, Tega Cay and Rock Hill have lacked a full-service hotel that can handle substantial meetings, corporate events, rehearsal dinners and elegant wedding receptions all at the same time, said Tom Henson, CEO of Ayrsley Development Corp. and Ayrsley Hotel Associates III.
Another Steele Creek project, Charlotte Premium Outlets at N.C. 160 and Interstate 485, is under construction and had nearby property rezoned for a hotel.
Last week, the Herald reported Rock Hill Mayor Doug Echols sees need for a downtown hotel there as Main Street and downtown Rock Hill will become a destination. Echols also said there could be hotels needed along the Dave Lyle Boulevard corridor near the Rock Hill Galleria or in Riverwalk.
Lisa Meadows, executive director of the Rock Hill/York County Convention & Visitors Bureau, sees a variety of area attractions contributing to the rise in hotels, along with special events for residents and guests.
The growth of many of our tourism activities like meetings, reunions, corporate business, group tour, sports and leisure travel contribute to the demand for new hotels, she said. Recent announcements by Carowinds for expansion also aid in demand and supply which creates an opportunity for new hotels to break ground.

S.F.'s Longest Food and Drink Lines, Ranked
By Anna Roth
Holly Brubach recently wrote in the New York Times Sunday magazine, T, that she thought nearly every dish would be improved by adding a poached egg. I know what she means, though in my case the egg in question could just as soon be a fried one.
And there's no better time, I think, to consume one's eggs, whether poached, fried, scrambled, or omeletted, than at brunch, a nice, leisurely, luxurious, indulgent meal. It was briefly fashionable to poke fun at brunch, but I find nothing to laugh about when delicious food is on the table at any time of day. At a number of serious restaurants, the meal is treated with just as much respect as any other.
Not that such is always the case. I'd always been intrigued by the inevitable lineup at Ella's, and I joined it one weekend morning with my 5-year-old nephew Ben in tow. I was taking him to see the Pickle Circus at the Jewish Community Center across the street, and Ella's couldn't have been more convenient.

Or so I thought, getting nervous as our estimated 40-minute wait stretched closer to an hour. But I needn't have worried: No sooner had we ordered than thick, manhole-cover-sized, cool and leathery pancakes were slapped down in front of us, obviously not prepared to order. My football-shaped and -sized lump of underseasoned, bland chicken hash took a bit longer to reach the table, accompanied by poached eggs overcooked to nearly hard-boiled. I sent the eggs back, since for me the glory of a poached egg is its saucy, liquid yolk. And now when I drive past Ella's patiently waiting hordes, I'm perplexed, rather than intrigued.
I prefer, as any sane person would, a place where my table is waiting for me, rather than my pancakes. At three recent meals, I was reminded just how delightful a morning collation could be. For Janice and Adam, ex-Bay Area residents and serious eaters now living in Seattle, I wanted someplace chic, cutting-edge, and new to them. And with a kitchen philosophy that didn't just repeat the inevitable fresh, local, and seasonal mantra, but offered something unique.
I'd been so happy with Maverick's New American cuisine at two dinners that I longed to sample their take on brunch. My friends remembered when the two snug rooms had housed Limon and they liked the simple but stylish and Dwell magazine-worthy woody new décor. And we all reacted the same way to the morning menu: There were lots of things we wanted to try, including a Cajun scramble, eggs with andouille sausage and scallions sided with cheesy grits; Texan migas, eggs scrambled with tortilla strips, tomato, roasted chilis, queso fresco, pico de gallo, black beans, and avocado; and "The Carlos" torta especial, a bacon, eggs, home fries, and jack cheese sandwich.
But then we ordered three other dishes. I had biscuits and gravy, two light and airy baking powder biscuits sopped with a good milky gravy satisfyingly thick with crumbled pork sausage, and served with two eggs, scrambled soft as requested. Adam's oyster po' boy (slicked with remoulade, Tabasco on the side) was notable for the crispness of its plump bivalves. But Janice's hash was the best: a luxurious collection of chunks of silky duck confit, slippery oyster mushrooms, and sautéed potatoes, all lubricated with a rich mushroom cream sauce, and topped with two poached eggs.
We lingered over five sweet little hot doughnut holes, dusted with cinnamon and sugar, and good strong coffee.
Janice and Adam requested a copy of the dinner menu, to remind them to return on their next trip.
When ex-San Franciscan Nate returned to S.F. on assignment, he was surprised to see my phone number still stored on his cell. He was even more surprised when, as a reward for dialing 10 little digits, I treated him (and myself) to a late-morning meal at Foreign Cinema.
Not only is Foreign Cinema's large interior patio a perfect setting for daylight dining, its married chefs Gayle Pirie and John Clark show their affection for my favorite brunch ingredient by devoting their first cookbook, City Egg, Country Egg, to it.
We started by splitting a "mini mer" platter of shellfish: The five oysters, many clams (extra, we were told by our excellent server, because they were out of mussels I like clams better, anyway), two crab legs, two poached shrimp, and an exotic scattering of cockles looked pretty maxi to me. They came with lemon, cocktail sauce, mignonette, and an exceptionally good aioli. We were surprised when Nate's plate of smoked salmon, beautifully decorated with sliced cucumber and potato rondels, oiled with citrus vinaigrette, and scattered with fronds of fresh dill, arrived on its own rather than at the same time as my eggs, but it turned out that we enjoyed turning two courses into three. And our server was so surprised to see the nearly finished salmon when she turned up with my peppered duck breast and poached eggs set on a salad of mixed chicories in a sherry vinaigrette, garnished with currants and big oily croutons, that she turned our three courses into four by treating us to a bowl of raspberries and strawberries elevated by the addition of fromage blanc, mint, and a drizzle of winy saba.
