Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider about Non-Routine Prenatal Tests
During your pregnancy you will receive prenatal tests to help your health care provider learn about how you and your baby are doing. Some prenatal tests such as blood tests, urine tests, and blood pressure checks, are routine. Other tests are not offered routinely, but only if you or your baby are at increased risk for certain problems or conditions. You are not under any obligation to have prenatal tests, however many of the tests are very important for a healthy pregnancy. You and your partner, together with your health care provider, can determine what's best for you and your baby. Before you agree to a test, make sure your health care provider gives you the answers to the following questions:

No idea, but the o2 evening performances were 8pm. I doubt it but as it's reasonably short perhaps they are pushing start time back so people feel it's longer coming out after 10pm?
Either that or is there something else going on in Manchester that day which they feel might mess up people getting to venue?

Instead of spending all the workouts focusing on their bowl opponent, Saban and the Crimson Tide are approaching them with a preseason-style mentality.
"We have an opportunity for a lot of young players to sort of re-learn," Saban said. "It's very difficult for young players to learn during the fall because you're changing all the time, game plans and so forth. But to go back and fundamentally re-teach things that you did in fall camp and really focus on the little things that guys need to do to be successful players and try to get them to develop better habits, which are sometimes more difficult to do during the season."
Per NCAA rules, there is no restriction on how many practices a team can have during bowl preparation. The Tide won't begin preparation for Oklahoma until the beginning of next week.
"That's kind of the point of the first three days, camp-like practices, just go back and work on the little things: footwork, catching the ball, running the ball," Tide right tackle Austin Shepherd said. "Just your steps, all kinds of things. That's kind of the whole point of it — it's pretty much like camp."
For the older players, they have a few more opportunities to pass down things they've learned to the guys who'll try to carry on the legacy of the program going forward. The younger players have a chance to get a leg up going into the upcoming season.
"I think it's a tremendous benefit to all players, but especially to young players," Saban said. "I think it's a little bit like what I said before. For the seniors, it gives them an opportunity to finish their career here the right way. And to everybody else who's coming back on the team, they have a chance to make an impression for themselves as well as the kind of football team we might have next year."
For Saban, it is more about sustaining a high level of focus throughout the coming weeks leading up to the game in order for the team to be successful.
"I think what's more important is that you sustain whatever intensity you have, whatever sense of urgency you have," Saban said. "That you sustain it, not get all excited about having one practice and then not be able to sustain what you need to do to continue to improve. I don't know that a barometer can be made about one practice. I don't think so. I think it's going to be how we sustain this and how we focus right up to the game."

Welcome to the Guild!
I agree, the versatility of art programs make having to erase bits of a hand-drawn map and cursing all the while a thing of the past.
Hello everyone,
I am so enthralled to find this place. I have followed some tutorials here (well, just one really... but I'm looking forward to following more). I am into cartography simply as a hobby. Mostly for fantasy. I prefer drawing by hand with pen and ink, but I am more here to chat with others about using computers to make maps. I am interested in getting more into computer map-making for fantasy themes. Doing it by hand is always nice, but sometimes there are some really cool things that can be done using photoshop, GIMP, etc. (and those are the two tools I have). Also, when using computers, I can mess up and go back. Maps made in photoshop even can provide a good outline for one I'll later do on paper. Anyways... I'm glad to be here! And I'll post my first computer-made map ASAP.

NewsPress Release - September 11, 2000Marlboro Hosts Musical Cabaret "It Isn't Nice"
MARLBORO, VT - Marlboro College presents "It Isn't Nice," a musical cabaret in its twelfth year of performance, at 8 p.m. Saturday, September 30, in the Whittemore Theater.
"It Isn't Nice" takes a close look at our world through the poignant and humorous political and social music of the twentieth century. The keyboardist and three singers of "It Isn't Nice" present original material as well as the "not so nice" music of Brecht, Weill, Eisler and other contemporary composers.
Gregory Lesch, Christopher Wesolowski, Karla Baldwin, and Paul Dedell are experienced performers who take the audience on a jagged journey through the exhilarating, sometimes painful, and sometimes very funny spirit of modern society. The show has won plaudits around Vermont: U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders says, "'It Isn't Nice' is in fact very nice - what a refreshing combination of talent, politics, and passion."
The Whittemore Theater is fully accessible. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (802) 257-4333.

Availability subject to change. Overview Artists Video Reviews Run Time: About one hour and 40 minutes, with no intermission Across the universe Meg Murry is the quintessential square peg: a middle-school math whiz with glasses and a short temper. But when she and her strangely gifted little brother set off to find their missing father, they're catapulted across time and space to a world where being different isn't just an annoyance—it can cost you your life. Even with the help of curious otherworldly beings, Meg will have to conjure every power she can find, and then some, to put her family back together. OSF presents a new adaptation of this mind-expanding science fiction story that's still a favorite with the young and young at heart.Special lighting and strobe effects are used during the Tesseract moments in the production. more information + The Story One stormy night, Meg Murry can't sleep after yet another bad day at school. She ends up downstairs having a late-night snack with her mother, a scientist, and Charles Wallace, her genius five-year-old brother. They are joined, unexpectedly, by Mrs. Whatsit—a mysterious old woman, dressed in layers of rags, who has started living in the haunted house in the woods near the Murrys. Mrs. Whatsit only stays for a short while, but she startles Mrs. Murry by telling her that there are such things as tesseracts, or wrinkles in time and space that one can travel through. Meg's father, Mr. Murry, a brilliant physicist who has been missing for over a year, had been studying that very idea before his disappearance. The following day, Charles Wallace and Meg visit Mrs. Whatsit in the woods, along with Meg's schoolmate Calvin. The three are introduced to Mrs. Who, who tells them that she, Mrs. Whatsit and their friend Mrs. Which—who are indeed magical, shape-shifting beings who just appear to be old women—will help Meg find and rescue her father. To do so, they will have to tesser—travel rapidly across wrinkles in space—to combat the evil Black Thing that is threatening the whole universe. To get Mr. Murry back, they must travel to the planet Camazotz, which has already succumbed to the Black Thing's brainwashing, making everyone think and act the same. For their rescue mission to be a success, Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin must all come to grips with their unique strengths and weaknesses—and discover the power of the strong bond they share. e-Luminations What's a Tesseract? Near the beginning of A Wrinkle in Time, Mrs. Murry is shocked when Mrs. Whatsit—who has never met Mrs. Murry or her missing physicist husband—tells her that there are such things as tesseracts, the very thing Mr. Murry had been trying to prove before his disappearance. But what is a tesseract? Science and fiction have somewhat different definitions. Real-life physicists and mathematicians describe a tesseract as a four-dimensional analog of a cube. It's also sometimes called a hypercube or a cubic prism. British mathematician and science fiction writer Charles Howard Hinton created the term for his 1888 book A New Era of Thought. The word derives from the Greek for "four rays." In A Wrinkle in Time, "tesseract" is used to mean something slightly different—a wrinkle in time or space, belonging to a fifth dimension. To "tesser" is to travel along a tesseract, to move almost instantaneously across otherwise insurmountable distances, like from planet to planet, as the children and three Mrs. Ws do in the story. This allows them to move faster than the speed of light, which Mrs. Whatsit calls "the impractical, long way around." Mrs. Who demonstrates the concept to the children using the example of an ant crawling across her skirt. If the ant tried to walk from one side of the skirt to the other normally, it would take quite a long time, but if that ant can simply walk across the fold in the skirt, he can get to the same end point much more quickly. L'Engle isn't the only writer to be inspired by tesseracts. The 1941 short story, "And He Built a Crooked House," by science fiction writer Robert Heinlein describes an architect's attempt to build a house in the shape of a tesseract. The concept may also sound familiar to fans of Marvel comic books or the recent movie adaptations—the Cosmic Cube, taken from the fictional planet of Asgard to wreak havoc on Earth, is described as a tesseract and is a key plot point in the 2012 film The Avengers.

Anybody down to battle!?
Yo, what's up guys. I'm new to Bombing Science Forums, and I just wanted to get my "cred" up. That being said, I'll be down to do sketch battles with anyone who's down as well. I'm not that great, but I'd say I'm a level higher than a "toy."
Hit me up in a PM, or hit me up in this thread.
someone battle me in handstyles pm me if your down,new to bombing science and this stuff!!!!
who wanna battle me?
My writes arent special, but ill handstyle battle ne one. Just get @ me.
to whoever's interested in joining, the new round robin battle signup starts now:
Not a fucking toy. Who wants to battle? Straight up, I always miss the actual battles by a day or two.. pissing me off haha
someone battle me in handstyles pm me if ur down!!!
seems to me the only thing people are good at on this site is sketching, ive looked through the throwies and handstyles and majority of them are nothing special at all
damnnn phatt im prolly way to late for the round robin ey?
How Long does it usually take after the contest closes for them to put up the contest enteries (and more importantly next weeks battle words?)
those colours are fabolous...]
Any1 wanna battle me for Lama char? And Simple Alien?
We should be challenged to more complex words for the Weekly Sketch Battle. Words like "REKS', SERUP', 'RAECS' are child's play. Do something like "SUCCOMB", "SKYLINED", & even "RIBOFLAVIN". ;D
nahhh. keep the words somewhat short, like names usually are.
hey i came across this site and wondered how many people would be interested in like a facebook covers battle???
http://www.firstcovers.com/maker/flash.html basically u just create a background image for the facebook timeline profiles and people on the site can download ur shit.. basically i searched for "graffiti" related covers and nothing came up.... so im sure some of u photoshop geeks might wanna try it, but u can upload any images u want as long as they fill up that same amount of space..... phat would haveta figure out how we would turn that into a battle, maybe just whoever has the most downloads after a week wins, but that might encourage cheating so who knows...
i got a pretty cool facebook cover on my profile you seen it zookyook?

Excellent photo quality; well-laid-out controls; interesting, user-friendly Guide mode; full manual controls in video capture.
Smallish viewfinder; slower than the competition; no bracketing.
A very good entry-level dSLR, the Nikon D3100 delivers excellent photo quality in a body that's streamlined for experienced photographers, but relatively unintimidating for the less advanced. Its only weakness is performance; though solid, it nevertheless lags behind the competition.

This camera is a great camera for those looking to try out DSLR cameras. It is not considered a "Professional" camera by any means, however, it is a great camera to have for a first timer or beginner in the photography field. Make sure you pay attention to the lenses you choose to shoot with this camera as the type of glass (lens) you choose to use can make or break your photos. As with any camera, assuming you're NOT a professional (or you'd of gotten something better), you need to understand how to use this camera outside of the AUTO features. If you want to shoot in AUTO, buy a point and shoot style camera. You really need to take the time to learn the manual settings to get the most from this camera.
I purchased this camera recently and it is one AWESOME camera. I have had several SLR cameras from Pentax, Canon and Nikon.

Nikon D3100 jopafavoritus's review
Nikon usually produces very attractive entry-level DSLRs, which are rarely the best specified but wisely designed so that they're easy and enjoyable to shoot with.
The D3100 is built around a 14.2 MP CMOS sensor, bringing not only live view but also Full HD video capture to Nikon's entry-level model for the first time. It can only record clips up to about ten minutes long (due to a 4Gb maximum file size limitation shared by all DSLRs), but this still counts as an impressive feature addition at this level.
All of this adds up to a DSLR that incorporates all of 2010's 'must have' features but looks like the product of evolution, rather than dramatic innovation.
Nikon D3100 Key Features
• 14.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor
• 3.0" LCD monitor (230,000 dots)

• Very good image quality, high ISO performance; a big improvement over the D3000
• Compact, ergonomic and comfortable body
• Plenty of manual control

• Expanded Retouch options
• Quiet shutter release mode is great for museums, weddings, and the like
• Fast USB transfer speeds
• Lots of in-camera raw conversion and post-processing options
• Will not focus all Nikon lenses
• No bracketing capability
• White balance often excessively orange under artificial light
• Auto and Incandescent white balance very warm in tungsten lighting
• No in-body image stabilization
• Doesn't support wireless flash control

• Obvious AF drive noise from kit lens picked up by internal mic during movie rec
• AF still a little sluggish in live view mode, full-time AF not very effective in live view or movies
• No manual exposure control for movies
• No external mic jack
• Kit lens somewhat soft in the corners wide open, with high geometric distortion at wide-angle
• Bundled software is a bit clunky and does not extract any more detail from RAW files
• USB and A/V cables not included
There's no doubt that the D3100 is one of the best entry-level SLRs available, offering very good image quality coupled with speedy operation and straightforward handling at least for conventional eye-level use.
The D3100's guide mode is clearly aimed at attracting customers who have only used compact cameras, which makes the ability to offer a similarly fast live view focus and shooting experience a key consideration.
However, while the D3100 represents a specification upgrade over a family of cameras we've generally liked, in some respects it has found itself rather out-paced by the market.
I just had to write a reveiw for my Nikon D3100 and maybe it can help others that are stuck between the D3100 and D5100 like I was. I looked for weeks for my first SLR camera...reading what seemed to be hundreds of on line reviews,many talking about specks of a camera that I did not understand. Reading all the reveiws really begin to confuse me even more. Do I need a high ISO camera,fast shutter clicks?...what about lens?? Now I have a few more hundred reveiws to read. At this point I am even doubting if I can learn to use a SLR, maybe I am better off with my point and shoot.Then I realized the reveiws are written by pros who know every aspect of a camera and prefer the highest of settings for there equipment.
So I went looking for the camera I thought would best suit my needs as a new SLR user and learning as I go. After years of being a Cannon user I narrowed my choice to the Nikon D3100 and D5100 as I was not crazy about the Rebel line. I went to the store to look at them both,the D5100 had more special effects such as night vision and color select,brighter LDC screen which moves and turns and could use a wireless remote and outer speaker for movies.Then I picked up the D3100...my hands fit perfect,the buttons on it was so easy to find and use and I LOVED the lay out of them. If you look at photos of both camera you will see how they are set up,I did not pay a lot of attention to this until I started to play with them at the store and wow this is VERY important while using the camera...the D3100 has them all in a row on the left side and so easy to use (while holding camera with right hand it is very easy to work them with left hand)...on the right side there is a lever for live veiw and on the top is my favorite lever of all for changing the drive mode (this lets you change from single shot,to continuous shot for action photos to timer to quite mode) This lever is often only on high dollar cameras and it does not come on the new D3200. The D5100 has most of its buttons on the right and was harder to work while holding the camera,you have to go into the menu to change drive speed which I did not like.So I left all the fancy effects,the moving LDC screen and the D5100 SLR at the store and purchsed the D3100. I have been using it for two months now...what great fun it is!
It is easy to learn and use,I have come out of the auto modes and using A and S settings and the photos keep getting better and better. I now know how to go into camera and change sharpness,color and many settings of my photos. So take the time to set down with your manual or a good D3100 book and really play with this camera,you will be amazed.Everything you learn how to do will produce even better photos than your last shots.I purchased this camera with the 18 55mm kit lens and purchased the 55 200mm zoom lens and they have been awesome!! Both are light weight lens and balance perfect on the D3100 and both use the same filters. Read reveiws these were slow lens...they have produced nothing but beautiful clear photos of my children playing,riding 4 wheelers,lakes,flowers,my bulldog and stunning photos of my horses running through the fields!! I am more than thrilled with my new camera,its many differnt fuctions,its ease of auto mode and the fun of learning to use P,S and A modes...and if you get stuck along the way,just push the "I" button on the back and the D3100 is there to help guild you. Awesome Job Nikon for a gr
The Nikon D3100 is an excellent entry-level DSLR. Could you pay more to get a "better" camera with "more features"? Absolutely. But why? Would you use those features? I looked long and hard at several in my research before buying - the models I considered were the Canon T2i, Canon 60D, the Nikon D90, and of course, the Nikon D3100. In the end, I decided the extra features on those other cameras were features that I likely wouldn't use. I'm interested mainly in taking lots of pictures while traveling -- pictures of clouds, landscapes, maybe some street photography. I wanted a smaller, lighter DSLR with good battery life and great image quality. The D3100 delivers on all accounts.
So what do the cameras in the next price-tier have that the D3100 doesn't? A lot of stuff that most people looking in this price range won't be concerned with. Here's a list of the "missing" things and/or "problems" with the D3100 as I found while researching my purchase:
1) Most online reviews and forums mention a problem with AutoISO and the built-in flash. When using the built-in flash in full auto, AutoISO jumps straight to the maximum ISO value, which I believe is defaulted to ISO-3200. Nikon says this is intended to get a better exposed background, fine with me. Personally, I think that ISO-3200 images out of this camera are very useable unless you're pixel peeping. If you just want to blow up an indoor portrait to an 8x10 (or even larger, I don't know!), you won't have a problem. Don't worry about it!
2) You can frequently hear the lens auto-focusing in your videos. Ok, you got me. If you're in a silent environment, yes, you will hear the autofocus motor, but if you're recording kids laughing and having a good time at the local indoor waterpark or at a parade or something, it's not loud enough where it would be a bother. If it is an annoyance, you can still shoot video with manual focus.
3) No external mic input. The D3100 is sufficient for getting a clip when you want it, you're not going to have movie quality sound. Who carries an external mic with them on vacation? If you're buying a DSLR specifically for video capabilities, you probably should be considering a dedicated camcorder anyway. For my purposes, there's nothing wrong with mono sound.
4) Lack of bracketing -- too much to explain in a review. Google it and see if you would ever use it. I can see why it would be useful, but I doubt it'd be useful for on-the-go photography.
5) Manual settings buried in menus instead of having dedicated buttons -- Most people at the entry-level probably aren't shooting full manual. The D3100 features several "scene" modes that you can use, otherwise there's always aperture or shutter priority, or even full auto. Depending on which priority you're in, the scroll wheel on the back will adjust the aperture or shutter speed. If you shoot full manual all the time, you may want dedicated buttons, meaning you should look elsewhere. If you're not in full manual, I can't see this being a problem.
Until then, enjoy the D3100 for what it is. A great, inexpensive, entry-level DSLR, which, in my opinion, produces excellent images when in the hands of a photographer ready to learn!

ASA would create a Sr. Bowhunter class. Every year I think they will finally step up and do it. Just dreaming.
ASA would create a Sr. Bowhunter class. Every year I think they will finally step up and do it. Just dreaming.
you're probably right that there are a number of folks who would like to see a senior hunter class. the problem would be, where do you put them? i guess they could shoot on the same range and at the same time as the hunter class. you might get some flak from folks in the hunter class who wouldn't want to see the class diluted and payouts reduced.
i appreciate the fact that asa has set up open classes for more mature shooters and i wish you luck in your efforts to get a similar class for the hunter group.
I think I would rather see a Pro Hunter or Semi Pro Hunter class develop. That would give the shooters in Hunter class a place to move to once they have won out and still want to shoot pins(hunting) style set ups.

Well, the problem with moving them up to Pro Hunter or semi pro might be the increase in the entry fee. just saying. i'm no expert.
Heck, we are old. LOL Put us on the same range with the Bow Novice guys. Let us have fun. I just find it strange that there are SR classes in the open area for Super Sr., Sr Open, Sr. Pro, and Sr. Masters. Yet, not a one for the old guy shooting his hunting setup.
Sure while we are at it.......I want a class for left handed people...that wear glasses... Where do we draw the line with making more an more classes..........Is it the need to have classes for ....or is it a need that people feel they want to win something so subsecting everything will help in the cause.....(just a wondering)
well, lets see there are how many open classes??? and how many pin classes??? talk about subsecting (is that a word???)
anyway, glad i don't have to decide.
btw, if i wanted to win something, i mean really wanted to win something, i'd enter the Ugly Old Man Contest...

Reasons for creating a pour-over will
Including a pour-over provision is like having a safety net for any assets that you may have forgotten about or intentionally left out of a trust that you would like to move into a trust after death. This can help your heirs avoid probate, or at least make the probate process go faster. Though probate laws vary from state to state, for the most part the assets that "pour" into the trust will avoid probate if they total less than $100,000.00.

As design of the built environment becomes more technically demanding, new ways of delivering projects are emerging, with integrated working and BIM being driven by government construction.
It is clear that the industry is moving towards an integrated delivery approach, where consultants, clients and contractors work with a single, evolving virtual model of the building project. But then what will this new world look like? Who will be leading it?
How will it change the way we work? What is BIM and what does it mean to me?
The speakers will describe the role of BIM in the low carbon delivery agenda and analyse the barriers to adopting BIM and the challenges of the supply chain. They will explain what the government aspirations are for the future, question whether you may already be doing BIM and clarify the legal implication brought up when using BIM. The seminar will contain a practical demonstration of a BIM implementation.
This session is an introduction to the more advanced course to be held in Bath on 19 July and Exeter on 16 October 2012.

The government said Friday it has approved 53,273 applications under the program that began in August to waive deportations of qualifying illegal immigrants who came into the country as children. Altogether, more than 300,000 have applied; requests have been coming in at a rate of 4,827 a day. Most are still under review.
Obama announced in June that he would delay deportation of many illegal immigrants under the temporary program. An overhaul of immigration laws is high on his second-term agenda.
Mexico is the main country of origin for the program's applicants. California is their top state of residence, then Texas and New York.

AUSTIN -- At Austin high school, officers Shelby Criswell and Karl Copley walk the halls, talking with students and keeping them safe.
They're part officers, part counselors, and part of a team of 43 specially trained school resource officers whose daily duty consists of looking after some 86,000 students spread over 125 campuses within Austin ISD.
After the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, AISD Police Department Chief Eric Mendez said second-guessing is difficult. Asked what his department could use more than anything else, Mendez referred back to the tragedy.
"Maybe we need to increase the number of people that we have available to respond to elementary schools," said Mendez. "Has that been reasonable and feasible here in the last three or four years, budget years? No, because budgets have gotten tighter, money has gotten tighter."
Money in mind, lawmakers met at the State Capitol Tuesday to unveil new legislation intended to give school districts more options to fund security measures such as increased armed police presence.
The "Texas School District Security Act" authored by State Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands), State Sen. John Whitmire (D-Houston) and State Rep. Dan Huberty (R-Humble) would give school districts and communities the option of creating a dedicated property tax or sales tax (under the state cap) to provide funds for school security.
"We know that the additional protection of our kids and our schools won't come without additional cost to the school districts," said Williams, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance.
Williams explained the bill would not provide additional state funding, rather it would allow districts a means to create a special revenue vehicle similar to current law allowing for the creation of municipal crime control districts.
The property tax for Austin ISD is currently $1.079 per $100 valuation, about ten cents under the $1.17 cap. Many school districts are at or near the cap, and the law would not raise current caps on property tax levied by school districts. Whitmire suggested those at or near the cap would still face challenges.
"Other school districts that are capped, they're going to have to look at a different model," said Whitmire. "But this is a vehicle that is going to address most of the school districts in the state with the ability to prioritize a revenue source that no one will have to debate what it's purpose is. It's to provide safety on our campuses."
"Parents came home on the 14th and we huddled up and we hugged our kids," said Barbara Beto, a parent with three children in Round Rock ISD. As Legislative Action Chair of the Texas PTA, Beto calls the bipartisan proposal a step in the right direction.
"It's the right tone," said Beto, who said recent proposals which involve arming teachers don't sit well with many parents.
"They've recognized that we can't do more than what we're doing on the same dollar and that we need to be doing something different. If there needs to be another revenue source, they're going to give districts the latitude to do that," Beto said.
For Mendez and his officers, it's not about politics. It's about work.
"Without fail, every single day I have to consider that we do the best job possible to ensure the safety of all our students and our staff and our visitors," said Mendez. "Every single day."

Today in Tech: Why HP's turnaround will come in 2014October 4, 2012: 5:30 AM ET
Also: How Tim Cook incentivized several Apple execs to stay; did Kleiner Perkins 'fire' Ellen Pao?
HP's Whitman: Wait until 2014 for turnaround [GIGAOM]
"We believe that 2014 will be the year you will see real recovery and expansion at HP. You should see every business unit recover and grow. Our investments in R&D and IT will begin to kick in. And we will have demonstrated an ability to manage costs in line with revenue," she said.
Mapping a path out of Steve Jobs's shadow [BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK]
Earlier this summer, Cook actually did lose a key member of his team—and then nearly witnessed an insurrection in one of Apple's most prominent divisions. On June 28, Apple announced the retirement of Senior Vice President Bob Mansfield, who for over a decade oversaw the remarkable expansion of the Macintosh line before taking on the iPhone and iPad as well. According to three people familiar with the sequence of events, several senior engineers on Mansfield's team vociferously complained to Cook about reporting to his replacement, Dan Riccio, who they felt was unprepared for the magnitude of the role. In response, Cook approached Mansfield and offered him an exorbitant package of cash and stock worth around $2 million a month to stay on at Apple as an adviser and help manage the hardware engineering team.
Did Kleiner Perkins 'fire' Ellen Pao? [FORTUNE]
In other words, we are going to fire Ellen Pao. Just not yet. At least not until we reach a mutually-acceptable severance arrangement. In the meantime, we're just having her move her stuff from that desk in the back of our building to her home office, where she'll be more comfortable. And she's still free to pursue her legal claims against us.
The rise of mobile in election 2012 [MASHABLE]
Mobile Politics, an app and website that allows U.S. political candidates to interact with their constituents, estimates that more than 80 million voters in the United States will access political information critical to their decision making process via their smartphones. If accurate, this is more than a 200% increase from the 2008 presidential race.
Apple suppliers begin producing smaller version of iPad [THE WALL STREET JOURNAL]
The smaller tablet will have a 7.85-inch liquid-crystal display with a lower resolution than the latest iPad, which was released in March, two of the people said. The screen on the current iPad measures 9.7 inches diagonally, a size that hasn't changed since the first model was released in 2010.
Google moves ahead in fight to dominate the map apps [ALL THINGS D]
In general, Google Maps on Android offers richer maps, with more streets and points of interest noted, than Apple's. Though I found Apple's navigation screens more striking and easier to read at a glance, the Android navigation screens showed more surrounding streets and thus more context, which was very useful, especially on my less familiar trip to Gettysburg.

The Best $500 Projector Acer H5370BD
If I were in the market for a $500 projector, I'd buy the ~$450 Acer H5370BD. I base this on objective testing with $20,000+ test gear and side-by-side comparisons with the main competition. The Acer offers the best overall picture quality that's surprisingly comparable to our $1,000 projector pick (though it's only 720p as opposed to 1080p), though the difference between several runners-up was very close.

The Best $1,000 Projector BenQ W1070
The BenQ W1070 is an excellent $1,000 projector, and the one I'd buy. I base this on multiple professional reviews and my own testing. It's such a great value that it is better than some projectors that cost 50% more from the last generation. Read More >
An Awesome Projector Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5020

The Best Pico Projector Brookstone HDMI Pocket Projector
I don't really think pico projectors are ideal for most people. They're expensive given their dimness and I'd rather spend 2-3 times as much for 10-30 times the brightness. But if I absolutely needed a small, portable pico projector, I'd buy the $300 Brookstone HDMI Pocket Projector. Read More >

Our Story
The Ziegler family has a long history in the Columbia Gorge, farming and harvesting fruit on Underwood Mountain for five generations and over one hundred years. As a brand new business we want to identify ourselves with the rich history we have here with farming. It's amazing that we can continue the legacy that Nathan's great grandfather started so many years ago. For years the Columbia River Gorge has had the perfect soil for growing a variety of fruit including apples and pears. In more recent years the Ziegler family has been growing and harvesting grapes, and have found that it's also the perfect soil for that. We believe our wine produced from this same soil has such a complexity of flavor due to the history of what has been grown here. It's exciting to be able to continue the farming legacy that began five generations ago.
We are offering wine tasting every Thursday through Sunday from 12-6 at our vineyard/winery/tasting room located at 31 Memory Lane in Underwood, Washington. Come by and enjoy a glass of wine on the patio, made from the grapes that surround you while taking in the stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River and Mt. Hood! We are pouring our two wines, 2009 Tempranillo and 2010 Pinot Gris. Our Estate grown Tempranillo is "a beautiful pale red. And it smells varietally correct, with Tempranillo nuances of tobacco leaf and leather above centered cherry fruit. The palate displays plenty of vibrancy, and a truly welcoming flavor profile, a sort of cherry-fig paste interwoven with citrus oil." Quote given by esteemed wine aficionado Paul Zitarelli
Our Estate grown Pinot Gris vines thrive in the moderate Underwood climate and the product is a result of that. It's a very balanced tasting Pinot Gris with some acidity, but also a buttery finish with notes of honey and pear.

The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Aaron Alexis lived for a time in a bungalow in the woods near a Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, Texas, where he occasionally joined Thai immigrants in meditation. Aaron Alexis died Monday in a gun battle with police in a building at the Washington Navy Yard after he killed at least 12 people.
This undated cell phone photo provided by Kristi Kinard Suthamtewakul shows a smiling Aaron Alexis in Fort Worth, Texas. The FBI has identified Alexis, 34, as the gunman in the Monday, Sept. 16, 2013 shooting rampage at at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington that left thirteen dead, including himself. (AP Photo/Kristi Kinard Suthamtewakul)
In between, the man named as the shooter in Monday's mass murder at Navy Yard Building 197 was discharged from the Navy Reserve, arrested for shooting a bullet into his downstairs neighbor's apartment and then asked to leave his Fort Worth apartment.
A Navy official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Alexis was discharged in January 2011 for "a pattern of misconduct" and that the 2010 gun incident in Texas played a role in his departure.
Another Navy official said Alexis was given a "general discharge," a classification often used to designate a blemished record of performance. In some cases, a general discharge can make it difficult to land a civilian job.
Alexis, 34, arrived in Washington about four months ago, friends said. He had worked recently for a defense contractor called The Experts, which is a subcontractor on an HP Enterprise Services contract to work on the Navy Marine Corps's Intranet network, according to Hewlett-Packard spokesman Michael Thacker. Officials at The Experts did not immediately reply to phone messages. It was unclear if Alexis was still employed by that subcontractor, or if his work had brought him to the Navy yard.
Investigators Monday night were examining how Alexis got into the Navy yard, and whether he had or used the identification card of a former Navy petty officer that was found near Alexis's body after police killed him.
Those who knew Alexis in recent years describe him as a "sweet and intelligent guy" (a regular customer at the Thai restaurant where he worked as a waiter), as "a good boy" (his landlord), but also as someone who was "very aggressive," someone who seemed like he might one day kill himself (a lay worker at the Buddhist temple where Alexis worshipped.)
In 2004, Alexis was arrested in Seattle after he fired three shots from a Glock pistol into the tires of a Honda Accord that two construction workers had parked in a driveway adjacent to Alexis' s house. Alexis's father told Seattle detectives then that his son "had experienced anger management problems that the family believed was associated with PTSD," or post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the police report. The father said that Alexis "was an active participant in rescue attempts of Sept. 11, 2001."
Alexis's own explanation for his behavior that day: the construction workers had "mocked" and "disrespected" him and then he had had "a black-out fueled by anger."
Alexis was not charged in the Seattle incident.
More recently, Alexis struck those who crossed his path as a man of sharp contrasts. He studied the Thai language, visited Thailand for a month, was studying for an online degree in aeronautical engineering and seemed to enjoy conversing with customers, according to friends, customers and fellow worshippers. But some of those same people said that Alexis had an aggressive streak, one that caused them to keep their distance and avoid personal questions.
Alexis grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., with his mother Sarah and father Anthony Alexis, according to his aunt Helen Weeks. "We haven't seen him for years," Weeks said in a phone interview. "I know he was in the military. He served abroad. I think he was doing some kind of computer work."

Solar Shop Australia Expands Brand Identity
By Marie Jones | Thursday | 09/09/2010
Solar Shop Australia is rolling out a brand identity and advertising campaign as part of a national expansion strategy that aims to get customers to feel good about tapping into solar energy.
The new branding and positioning centres around the slogan, 'the power of good', which it is hoped, will see the company significantly grow its national footprint over the next two years, while making a difference to the environment.
The company which provides grid connect solar power to residential and commercial properties in Australia, recently opened six new retail concept stores in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia, and plans to open two more by the end of the year to take the total number to 10 nationally.
The company aims to use its new slogan to emphasise a shift in thinking on green issues. The company's CEO, Tony Thornton, said: "Today, it goes without saying that solar power is good for the environment. As a result the green benefits of solar energy are no longer unique or effective selling points."
He said people are becoming more focussed on gaining financially by investing in grid connect solar power, not only by savings in electricity costs, but also by making money from state-based feed-in tariffs.
Over the 25 year life-span of a solar powered system, one megawatt of solar power produced saves up to 44,597 tonnes of greenhouse gas and 5.7 billion litres of water that would otherwise be used in the generation of coal fired power stations.
"We want people to feel good by taking control of their household electricity bills while still having a positive impact on the environment."
The company aims to lead the charge in helping 1 in 10 Australian homes to be powered by solar by 2020. Since the company's inception 10 years ago, Solar Shop Australia has installed in excess of half a million solar panels, which equates to 30 megawatts of solar power on residential and commercial premises throughout the country.
