Zhang ready to extend record in Macau
China's Zhang Lian-wei will be out to preserve one of the most impressive streaks on the Asian Tour when he tees up in the US$750,000 Venetian Macau Open next month.
Since the inauguration of the Macau Open in 1998, Zhang, who is a five-time Asian Tour winner, has not missed a cut in the tournament and is arguably the most successful player in Macau with two victories in 2001 and 2002 and six other top-10s.
Zhang might have shifted his focus from purely competing to developing his junior programmes in Shenzhen but he is looking forward to teeing it up at the Macau Golf and Country Club from October 11 to 14.
"Macau is my favourite destination on the Asian Tour as I have enjoyed a lot of success in the tournament. I have fond memories of my two victories and there were also a lot of other good performances," said Zhang.
"I have missed the tournament only once previously (in 2003 due to injury) but in the years that I have played the Macau Open since 1998, I have never missed the cut and I'm really proud of this achievement."
"I am really excited about the Venetian Macau Open and I hope to put in a strong showing for my fans and also to maintain my streak. It is also wonderful the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel has come into the tournament in a very big way as the new title sponsor," he added.
Zhang was China's first ever player to achieve success on the Asian Tour, which subsequently led to the rise in the number of touring professionals from the mainland including the likes of Wu Ashun, Li Chao and Liang Wen-chong. Liang became the first Chinese to win the prestigious Asian Tour's Order of Merit crown in 2007.
Apart from this two wins in Macau, Zhang also won three other titles on the Asian Tour, including his national Open in 2003 and the Singapore Masters in the same year where he defeated South African star Ernie Els with a last hole birdie.
Els isn't the only scalp that Zhang has claimed throughout his illustrious career as the Chinese ace also defeated Zimbabwean Nick Price in the 2002 Macau Open after a five-hole play-off and Scotland's Colin Montgomerie in the former Alfred Dunhill Cup.
"I have enjoyed my time on the Asian Tour as it allowed me to grow and become a truly international player," said Zhang, whose best finish on the Order of Merit was second place in 2003.
"Through the Tour, I had the opportunity to play in different countries and experience different cultures across Asia which helped me to develop as a golfer. There were numerous other fond memories which will stay with me for the rest of my life but I'm not finished yet with my career, especially when it comes to the Venetian Macau Open.
"I feel I can still contend in this tournament as I know the Macau Golf and Country Club very well. I know what it takes to shoot good scores on this very challenging golf course and more importantly, I feel I will always have an advantage on the greens.
"In next few weeks, I will be working hard to sharpen my game and I hope to be ready to play well."
The Venetian Macau Open is jointly organised by the Macau Sport Development Board and Macau Golf Association and sanctioned by the Asian Tour.
All four rounds will be beamed live on the Asian Tour's global television platform which reaches over 200 nations and 650 million homes.

I noticed this when I first started but after several projects. it seems very counter productive to animate something and object in a straight line. thru code, instead of importing it in as animation and then just pointing it at the object its tracking.
clean up would not have to be done. it will loop back to its starting position or collision would handle it. if the object collided with another object on the way

Lawmakers Tap Jenner Partner for Christie Bridge Probe
|0 Comments
Jenner & Block partner and former federal prosecutor Reid Schar has been retained to serve as outside counsel to a New Jersey General Assembly committee investigating the role Gov. Chris Christie and his staff members played in creating a four-day traffic snarl by ordering the closing of lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge.
Schar, the cochair of Jenner's white-collar defense and investigations practice, is well-versed in politically tinged scandals. As an assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, he served as the lead prosecutor in both corruption trials involving former Illinois Gov. Rod Blogojevich, who was sentenced in 2011 to 14 years in prison.
Schar, whose hire was announced Wednesday in a press release issued by assembly Democrats, joined Jenner's Chicago office in July 2012 after 14 years as a prosecutor. He did not immediately return a call for comment.
The Record reports that the committee that Schar will assist in his capacity as special counsel will be formed Thursday with the power to issue subpoenas to members of the Christie administration and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials and staffers. Committee chair John Wisniewski, a Democrat, said Wednesday that Schar will be paid at "a significant reduction" to his hourly rate, the Record reports.
According to sibling publication The National Law Journal's latest billing survey, Jenner partners charge an average of $604 per hour, with a high of $925.
"It's vital to have someone of the caliber of Mr. Schar joining us in this effort," assembly speaker Vincent Prieto said in a statement. "A potential misuse of taxpayer resources for political purposes is a serious matter that requires an astute legal eye with experience in this realm to help guide the process."
The so-called Bridgegate controversy has consumed the national news media for much of the past week, following the public release of hundreds of pages of documents that show Christie aides and allies orchestrating the closure of traffic lanes in Fort Lee last September in an apparent attempt to harm the town's mayor politically. So far, four people close to the governor have either resigned or been fired amid the mushrooming scandal.
At the time of Schar's move to Jenner, he told the NLJ that he had been experiencing some "intellectual complacency" and was looking forward to new challenges. A 1997 graduate of Northwestern University School of Law, he worked for nine months at Sidley Austin before joining the U.S. attorney's office.

There are a lot of resources out there. The main factor here message: I can make an app. You can make an app. It might not do much, and it might not look excellent. But yes, anyone can make an app, it's simple. The apple company and Android operating system have all created app development simple. Fantastic designed Tino Cellular App Facilities, a device that allows everyone make a combination foundation app without composing just one range of value.
But as they say: Anyone can be a designer, not everyone can be Picasso.
When you are looking for a mobile app associate, here are some factors to keep in mind:
User user interface design:
With mobile, less can be so much more, and understanding the best pieces you need, and moreover the best pieces you do not need is not simple.
A small display creates it challenging to style the right buyer for an app. At some factor you may think you have the best style. It will look excellent, and then you will see the right design…
we style the best user interface we can, but the actual perform begins when the app is first seen by a individual. Enjoying the reviews of customers creates sure we keep enhancing in the route your customers want us to enhance. If anyone says they have the response right off the bat, we provide a guarantee: they do not even know the query.
Cross foundation support:
The above may audio challenging. It is. Don't ignore how challenging it is to get a excellent first user interface style. But it gets even more complicated. Individuals believe you only have to do it once! But there are a number of systems out there. You need to style the app to get the best out of every foundation. Users anticipate their iPhone applications to fit in with the iPhone way, and their Android operating system applications to fit in with their Android operating system applications. Dissatisfied customers easily begin to carry down scores, and scores generate downloading.
It's challenging to anticipate every possible way a individual may want to use your app. Many designers ignore and disappointed customers. When a individual moves the display, the material needs to upgrade in a way that maximises the new area. If your app looks the same but broader, you neglected. Take enough time, realize success and the customers will thank you.
The most typical adverse reviews on the appstores is that the app accidents. A lot of applications are actually so badly designed that they accident after a few moments use. Motorola's CEO stated that many system profits were due to app accidents. There is definitely no reason for this. Users anticipate applications to be efficient, top excellent value and examining techniques help make sure this.
Phone to tablet:
Just the same, but bigger? No. Please, go choose up a product. It's not a mobile cellphone. Nobody should cure it as a mobile cellphone. Beginning adopters of pills are already getting disappointed with app designers not helping the modifying requirements of the product globe.
These are just a few of the advanced stage factors that we consider essential for our customers to get the complete prospective of applications. There are many system and foundation particular concerns, configurations and insects to consider. It's a subject that could complete a publication.
So, what do we look for in a excellent mobile app developer?
The same factors you need from any designer. Excellent troubleshooting capability, an attention of individual needs, information of audio style styles and attention of audio programming structure and methods. Quality style never gets old.
we concentrate on using the best developers we can discover, whatever their particular qualifications may be. The best developers comprehend how to generate solid, extension and re-usable value. If they have that, we can display them, through our user interface style group, exactly what we need to develop.

Lukaku the leading man in West Brom win
It's all rather familiar this isn't it? A poor run through the Christmas and New Year period, halted by a historic win away from home and then followed by an impressive home win over Sunderland.
Last year it was the 5-1 win away at Wolves which was followed by a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Sunderland, Peter Odemwingie the star man in those two wins. Whilst this year there were less goals in the victories, they were just as important and impressive. It was Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku who was the leading man in Saturday's 2-1 win.
He followed up his superb goal against Liverpool with a display that was full of strength, pace and hold-up play that was complemented by two goals. Lukaku was rewarded with a start alongside Shane Long and the pair once more showed signs of being able to form a good partnership heading in to the end of the season.
Steve Clarke will be hoping that he will be able to bring the big Belgian forward to West Brom for one more season to continue in tandem with Long. Lukaku has quickly become a vital player for West Brom, which didn't seem likely at the start of the season when it seemed he would be used as an impact player off the bench.
What was really impressive about Lukaku's display against Sunderland was the link-up play he displayed throughout the game. It was most evident in an Albion spell of dominance before half time that saw Lukaku grab one from the spot and had another goal chalked off.
He constantly linked with Chris Brunt and Liam Ridgewell down the left hand side, an area of his game that has really improved. He held the ball up before turning it back around corners and getting into the box where he has proved to be so lethal.
Lukaku's second goal was borne of good habits he has picked up from Shane Long; never giving up on anything as he hared down on a back pass from Titus Bramble that goalkeeper Mignolet hit against him, the ball rebounding into the net. It was lucky, but Lukaku's persistence deserved it.

Lynyrd Skynyrds new CD God & Guns carries on their great Southern Rock tradition, although they have continued to update their sound. The guitars may have a bit more of a heavy metal crunch these days, but Skynyrd continues to channel their country/blues roots to dramatic effect. While lacking a track as powerful as the anthems they cranked out in their heyday (sorry, no Freebird here!), this CD serves up the guitar swagger and good ol' boy point of view the fans have come to know and love. Standouts include the rousing opener "Still Unbroken", the jaunty "Southern Ways" (shades of Sweet Home Alalabama in spots), the spooky "FLOYD" featuring Rob Zombie, and the twin tributes to fallen comrades Ean Evans (Storm) and Billy Powell (Gifted Hands) that end the proceedings. I'll be playing this one in my pickup for a long time to come!!!

(March 21-April 19): "True life is lived when tiny changes occur," said Leo Tolstoy. I agree. It's rare for us to undergo rapid, dramatic transformations in short periods of time. That's why it's delusional to be forever pining for some big magic intervention that will fix everything. The best way to alter our course is slowly and gradually, by conscientiously revamping our responses to the small daily details. Keep these thoughts close at hand in the coming weeks, Aries. Be a devotee of the incremental approach. Step-by-step. Hour-by-hour.
(April 20-May 20): "What people really need and demand from life is not wealth, comfort, or esteem, but games worth playing," said psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. I love that thought, and am excited to offer it up to you right now. You have been invited or will soon be invited to participate in some of the best games ever. These are not grueling games foisted on you by people hoping to manipulate you, nor pointless games that exhaust your energy for naught. Rather, they are fun challenges that promise to stretch your intelligence, deepen your perspective, and enhance your emotional riches.
(May 21-June 20): Is it conceivable that you've gotten a bit off track? As I close my eyes and ask my higher powers for a psychic vision, I get an impression of you staring at a blurry image of a symbol that is no longer an accurate representation of your life goal. Now of course there's a chance that my vision is completely unfounded. But if it does ring at least somewhat true to you—if it suggests a question worth asking yourself—I invite you to meditate on the possibility that you need to update your understanding of what your ultimate target looks like.
(June 21-July 22): From an astrological point of view, it's prime time for you to attend a networking extravaganza or collaboration spree. Likewise, this is an excellent phase in your long-term cycle to organize a gathering for the close allies who will be most important in helping you carry out your master plan during the next 12 months. Have you ever heard of the term "Temporary Autonomous Zone"? It's a time and place where people with shared interests and common values can explore the frontiers of productive conviviality. It might be a dinner party in an inspirational setting, a boisterous ritual in a rowdy sanctuary, or a private festival for fellow seekers. I hope you make sure something like that materializes.
(July 23-Aug. 22): To begin one of his performances, comedian and musician Steve Martin ambled on stage and told his audience what to expect. "Before every show," he said, "I like to do one thing that is impossible. So now I'm going to suck this piano into my lungs." That's the kind of brag I hope to hear coming from you sometime soon, Leo—the more outrageous the better. Why? Because I'd love to see you cultivate a looser, breezier relationship with your actual ambitions. To make boastful jokes about wacky or farfetched goals might inspire you to be jauntier and friskier about those real ones. And that would rouse a burst of fresh motivational energy.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The text for this week's oracle comes from Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), a great American statesman who, after escaping slavery, became a leader of the abolitionist movement. "Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation," he said, "are people who want crops without plowing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning ... The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand." Please apply these thoughts to your own situation, Virgo. You have entered the liberation phase of your cycle.

Palm Beach International Airport
Airport Arrival and Departure Roadway Lighting (Retrofit Installation)

BetaLED THE EDGE wall mount security luminaires with petroleum symmetric optics:
The Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) is operated by Palm Beach County through its Department of Airports. PBIA is committed to enhancing the airport through sustainable products whenever possible, especially in areas that reduce energy consumption, costs and maintenance expenses.
An overall energy audit was conducted by Florida-based Hillers Engineering to determine current usage and identify opportunities for efficiency and reduction. One area identified as needing efficiency upgrading was the airport's arrival and departure roadway. Originally, the roadway had 695 100W metal halide fixtures using approximately 66,000 kWh per month. The fixtures were 25 years old and desperately needed upgrading.
A lighting design and study was conducted to evaluate BetaLED luminaires along with traditional HID solutions based on illumination and economic performance. According to Tom Galassi, PBIA maintenance supervisor, there was no comparison – the BetaLED luminaires were an easy retrofit choice.
The recent installation of 695 79W BetaLED luminaires will provide PBIA with an annual energy savings of 429,388 kWh, an annual energy cost savings of approximately $34,000 and an annual lighting maintenance savings of over $27,000. The airport will recoup its investment in approximately five years.
Feedback about the visual affects of the lighting installation has been incredible. Travelers have commented to PBIA that the lighting is bright and white, making it easier to see the roadway.
"I'm very pleased with the project, and the anticipated energy and maintenance savings from the BetaLED lighting installation," said Galassi.
Additionally, sheriff deputies who patrol the roadway and direct traffic also have spoken highly of the illumination from the BetaLED luminaires because it makes visibility easier and the lighting is evenly distributed.
PBIA improvement plans include relighting the baggage handling areas, roadway signage, aircraft gate parking and the existing parking garages all with LED luminaires.
Significantly improved illumination greets travelers at airport arrivals roadway.
BetaLED brings 50% energy savings of nearly $4 million

7516 Meade St, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1520840.448215 -79.895461
Mon. - Sun. 8am - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Point Breeze North
great vibe, selection – With the influx of new grocery stores to the greater Pittsburgh region, I often overlook the East End Food Co-Op. Whenever I go back there, I always regret not having gone sooner! Although smaller than rival stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joes, the Co-Op has a couple features that set it apart from its competitors. Obviously, because it's a co-op, it's much easier for a customer to feel an authentic "buy in" to the shopping experience -- it's easy to believe that money spent there supports a vision of a local, community-based food system. Also, the bulk section selection easily beats other stores in the city. Although the Co-Op doesn't have as much shelf space, as long as it fills this bulk niche, I will make it a point to keep coming back!
Eat healthy, and actually fill up. – The Scene
A small cafeteria-style restaurant in the largest local health food store. Well-to-do suburbanites eat elbow-to-elbow with studded and pierced college students, all enjoying the vegetarian and vegan food. There is also a small outdoor eating area.
The Menu
There are excellent hearty soups here, as well as a diverse salad bar. All foods are organic, and many are vegan. There are cold salads, as well as hot dishes that change on a daily basis. While the soups are a must in winter, the salad bar is most popular during the warmer months. There is also a range of baked goods, easily washed down with their strong, organic coffees.
If You Order One Thing
Make a selection the black bean vegetarian chili. It's a filling, wholesome meal, and it keeps the body going all day.

ADA News
Requirements for specialty recognition stay the same
San Francisco—The ADA will take more time to work toward consensus on the requirements for specialty recognition to avoid disenfranchising public health dentists who could have been affected by the changes.
That was the directive from the 2012 House of Delegates, which referred Resolution 17 back to the Council on Dental Education and Licensure for further study.
The decision came as a relief to the American Association of Public Health Dentistry. Changing the requirements would have meant that only specialists in public health dentistry would be able to vote or hold office in AAPHD, the sponsoring organization of public health dentistry. All specialty organizations except the AAPHD require officers and voting members to be specialists in the specialty sponsored by the organization. Over the years, AAPHD has had a handful of nondentist members serve in leadership positions. Currently, however, specialists in public health dentistry comprise only 41 percent of the membership of AAPHD, according to data provided to CDEL in 2011.
Dr. Hayes
In May 2012, CDEL passed a resolution stating that voting or holding office in a sponsoring organization of an ADA-recognized dental specialty should be limited to specialists in that discipline. The move was intended to clarify ambiguities that the council identified in the Requirements for Recognition of Dental Specialties and National Certifying Boards for Dental Specialists, said CDEL Chair Ronald Venezie.
"In 2011, as part of CDEL's periodic review of dental specialties, we learned that there were two sponsoring organizations of recognized specialties that permitted nonspecialists and even nondentists to vote and hold office," said Dr. Venezie. "The requirements were vague on this issue, so we looked for a way to clarify the language."
Since that time, one of the sponsoring organizations—the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology—has revised its bylaws to allow only specialists in oral and maxillofacial radiology to vote or hold office in AAOMR.
The council focused on requirement 1(a), which currently states that specialties should be represented by a sponsoring organization whose membership is reflective of the special area of dental practice. In Res. 17, the council proposed to change that to "membership is reflective of that proposed or recognized dental specialty in which the privileges to vote and hold office are reserved for dentists who have either completed a CODA-accredited residency program in that proposed or recognized specialty or a formal advanced education program" and called for all specialties to come in line with the new requirements by 2015.
During the House of Delegates meeting in October 2012, a number of dentists appeared before the Reference Committee on Dental Education, Science and Related Matters to voice their opinions on Res. 17. The reference committee concluded there would be unintended consequences if the requirements were amended as proposed. In the end, the reference committee recommended that CDEL; the Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations; the Board of Trustees; and AAPHD further explore options to define the term "reflective" and arrive at a procedure to bring the sponsoring organization of public health dentistry into alignment with other dental specialty organizations. The House then referred Res. 17 back to CDEL.
Dr. Hayes, who testified before the reference committee, explained that public health dentistry is different from clinical specialties.
"In public health dentistry, we learn to apply all that we learned in dental school to a community setting. We evaluate communities; not just patients. There is a broader scope of practice. In doing that, we bring in other people—economists, sociologists and physicians among them.
"The majority of our dentist members of AAPHD are not board-certified public health dentists," she continued. "Someone who practices in a federally qualified health center or the U.S. Public Health Service may not have pursued training to be board certified so they don't have specialty training. The way the resolution was written, only those who completed specialty training could vote or hold office, and that would disenfranchise many of our members."
"The House directed us to take another look at the requirements, incorporate issues raised in reference committee testimony and come back to the 2013 House with a consensus recommendation that brings public health dentistry back in line with other specialties without excluding dentists with appropriate education and/or experience," said Dr. Venezie. "It's a reasonable directive and we will work to achieve that."

Editors' note: this review does not reflect my experience with wireless 3G performance. The review will be updated accordingly at a later date.
Originally referred to as the NGP or Next Generation Portable, the Sony PlayStation Vita is the follow-up to the PlayStation Portable (or PSP) that was introduced back in March of 2005. The Vita was officially named and priced at Sony's E3 2011 press conference.
At the time of the announcement, it seemed that Nintendo's 3DS was already in trouble, with its disappointing launch line-up, an audience divided over 3D and a short battery life atypical of Nintendo handhelds. All this plus a matching US$250 price point gave Sony all of the momentum going in to the next-generation battle of portable consoles.
While Sony had teased the Vita's release for the 2011 holiday season, only Japan got to see the Vita for sale before the new year.
I imported a Japanese Vita in December and have had weeks of hands-on time with the device, including playing most of Uncharted: Golden Abyss. The Vita is easily the most impressive portable gaming device that I've ever handled. Its brilliant touchscreen is as responsive as an iPad's, and the on-board operating system is smart, logically laid out and easy to use.
Priced at AU$349.95 for the Wi-Fi version, there still remains some hidden costs in owning a Vita (which I'll cover below). But perhaps the Vita's biggest challenge is proving itself as a worthy device, important enough to convince the casual gamer that he or she needs to carry around not just a smartphone, but a portable console as well. How this generation of handheld devices shapes up will say a lot about where portable gaming is headed, and Sony has made what I think is a very impressive effort right out of the gate.
Design, specs and other features
Available in two versions, the PlayStation Vita retails for AU$349.95 (Wi-Fi only) and AU$419.95 (Wi-Fi/3G) through Vodafone. At a quick glance, it could be confused with the PSP, but upon further inspection you'll find it's wider, taller and just a few millimetres thicker and a few grams heavier than the PSP-3000. Most noticeable of all, though, has got to be its dazzling 5-inch (960x544-pixel) OLED touchscreen, which is nearly an entire inch bigger (diagonally) than the PSP-3000's screen.

Even though it weighs in at 260 grams (277 grams for the 3G model), the Vita is still a considerably lightweight device. Its screen is flanked by two analog thumb sticks; above those are the classic PlayStation buttons on the right and a D-pad on the left. Both the buttons and D-pad are smaller than the ones on the PSP. That said, I didn't find that they negatively affect gameplay. If anything, they're more responsive. There are also left and right shoulder buttons, a PlayStation button, and Start and Select buttons. The latter two are quite tiny, tucked away at the bottom-right corner and aren't always very easy to hit, though they aren't used too often. A power toggle is easily accessible on the top-left brim of the unit, while two volume buttons rest on the right side. In between that you've got a Vita game card slot and a proprietary port of some sort that I haven't had any use for yet.
The Vita game card slot can be a pain to pry open, especially if you have short fingernails.

Under the hood the Vita boasts a four-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and a four-core SGX543MP4+ GPU (graphics chip). Sure, that's not the sexiest-sounding jargon, but it results in the best portable gaming graphics I've ever seen anywhere.
Other Vita features include two 640x480-pixel VGA cameras (rear- and front-facing), a rear touch panel, Sixaxis motion sensing, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and GPS (only in the 3G version).
Along the bottom of the unit is a headphone jack, microphone sensor and proprietary USB connection/charging port.
The Vita is surprisingly lightweight.

The Vita feels great to hold and is among the more ergonomically satisfying handhelds out there. I occasionally have to stretch my thumbs to hit the centre area on the screen, but it's nothing unfamiliar to someone who's typed on an iPad or smartphone.
I was a little surprised that the Vita lacks any kind of video output, unlike the PSP-2000 and 3000. I think video-out remains an important feature — I use it with my iPad 2 whenever I travel.
Proprietary media
The Vita's games operate off of proprietary Sony flash media that most resemble SD cards. There is no support for the PSP's UMD disc, but the Vita is backward compatible with PSP games that are available via the PlayStation Store.
Vita game boxes and cards

Anything downloaded and installed on the Vita must be done with the use of a Vita memory card, as the Vita has an undisclosed — but seemingly small — amount of on-board storage. Vita memory cards are even smaller than the game cards, mostly resembling Sony M2 and microSD cards. Vita memory cards have become a particularly controversial subject with the Vita, as it's also required to play almost all Vita games and media apps. Even more disheartening is the fact that a Vita memory card isn't included in the box.
In Australia, Vodafone is offering a 4G Vita memory card for online orders placed before 31 March 2012
Sony continues to play the proprietary game with the Vita, forcing customers to shell out more cash on accessories from the get-go. That aside, these tactics are nothing new, and we've seen it from plenty of other companies, such as Apple. When I asked Sony PlayStation director of Hardware Marketing, John Koller, about the card at CES 2012, he cited that piracy was one of the major contributing factors in making it a proprietary format. It's no secret that the PSP suffered from widespread piracy and a determined hacking scene, though a lot of that resulted in home-brew applications and emulation software.
Any way you slice it, it's a hidden cost that gets passed on to the consumer. While the starting price is AU349.95, in order to play, say, Uncharted, you'll need to spend just under AU$445 at a minimum. That's AU$349.95 (Vita) + AU$69 (Uncharted) + AU$25.95 (cheapest 4GB memory card). Sony has made somewhat of an effort to improve awareness about the memory card requirement since the Japanese release, adding signage on the Vita retail box and on the cover of Vita games.
The Vita memory cards also seem overpriced as Vita owners can spend up to US$100 for 32GB — though this capacity will not be available in Australia for launch. It's an expensive pricing model you won't find anywhere else. Just to make a quick comparison, a 4GB SD card goes for around AU$6 online, and you can find a 32GB SD card for around AU$36.

Interface and apps
The Vita's operating system is fantastic. It's very easy to use and navigate through because it just makes sense. The best way to describe its behaviour is a cross between webOS and Android. The OS borrows the "card" multitasking concept found in webOS by allowing apps and games to be frozen or paused, then flicked away to close. It's also extremely responsive and quick, similar to the experience of using iOS. Animations are smooth, and there are plenty of visual indicators to help you learn your way around.

The OS allows for a decent amount of customisation, too. You can change background colours, move apps around and create or delete pages. The first time you play a game on the Vita, it installs an icon to launch the game. It stays there even when the game card isn't inserted into the system.
Pre-installed in the Vita's OS are a series of apps, though the social ones, like Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Skype, will be available at launch. In addition to the self-explanatory items, (Friends, Group Messaging and Trophies) there are a few new items. Here they are with short descriptions:
Party: players can create a party, chat and play games with friends over the PlayStation Network
PS Store: see the Online section below for more on the PlayStation Store.
Near: Near is the Vita's response to the 3DS's Street Pass technology. Near allows players to connect and monitor their friends' gaming activities as well — taking geographical location into consideration. I don't know too many people with Vitas just yet, so I'll update this section once it's released to the public.
Photos: the Vita's photo app works fast and takes photos from either the front- or rear-facing cameras. Here you can view all of your images as well as screenshots. The Vita can take a screenshot any time by pressing the PlayStation and Start button together. Also new to the Photo app is the ability to record video. Overall quality of the camera isn't great, and it's nowhere near smartphone resolution or crispness, but it's noticeably better than what the 3DS can do. Of course, though, the Vita can't shoot 3D photos like the 3DS can.

Network Operator: this deals with 3G, which is not yet activated on my Vita.
Browser: the Vita's internet browser looks a bit like the PSP's, but performs much faster. It's a similar experience to what smartphone browsing is like, but it doesn't support HTML5 or Flash. Those shortcomings aside, typing URLs on the screen is certainly a welcome change of pace compared with manual entry on the PSP.
Music: a standard music player is installed on the Vita, which allows for background playback.
Videos: video playback looks great on the Vita. In terms of compatibility, it supports the MPEG-4/H.264 format. While that has become somewhat of an industry standard, the Vita lacks the comprehensive movie file support that the PS3 so proudly boasts. If you're stuck with an incompatible format and you want it to play on the Vita, try using the free encoder HandBrake to convert your file into an MP4.
Content Manager: this app acts as a means to manage all the media (music, photos and videos) that's stored on the Vita's memory card. It can also be used to back-up game saves and entire game files. A one-time installation on PC or Mac allows your computer to talk to the Vita and swap files. While it might be a bit cumbersome to set up initially, the Vita software works well and is very easy to use as long as you respect the content directory paths that you assign when setting up the Content Manager Assistant software. It seems like one too many steps, but again, Sony is clearly making this as unattractive to piracy as possible. This also means that you cannot mount the Vita as a USB mass storage device.
Maps: maps is a Google Maps app that provides a lot of the functionality from the smartphone and web-based platforms. GPS locates your location, from which you can search addresses, businesses and directions.
Remote Play: Remote Play allows a Vita to connect to a PS3 over a home network. While Remote Play initially seemed promising, I've yet to see it really impress. It has a lot of potential, but almost every desirable feature seems to be blocked. Very few games will even work with the service; I've only seen Killzone 3 work over Remote Play, and you can't watch any Blu-rays or DVDs, either. That said, I was able to play videos stored on my NAS through the PS3's DLNA client.
A sample screenshot I took shows off the pre-installed Vita apps.

To stay competitive, Sony needs to make available as many PS3 video apps as possible. The company has done a great job at turning the PS3 into a video powerhouse, and Sony customers deserve the same experience on the go with the Vita.
Sony claims that the Vita's battery life should net around three to five hours of gameplay on a single charge. I've been getting just over 4.5 on a regular basis. This number increases when just watching video or listening to music exclusively.
The big improvement I've noticed over the PSP is standby time. The Vita lasts a very long time in standby mode — I'm talking over a week in my testing. This would have been unheard of in the days of the PSP.
Finally, the battery is internal and not user-replaceable. Again, this decision was probably made to combat piracy, as some of the original PSP's vulnerability was unlocked because of its replaceable battery.
Games and performance
Sony describes the Vita as the "best line-up in PlayStation history", and I'd be lying if I said I disagree. Clocking in at a whopping 25 total launch games (this includes PSN-only titles), there really is something for everyone.
Great graphics is where the Vita shines, and most of the launch titles look absolutely fantastic. It's the closest thing I've seen to a PlayStation 3 in your hands.
I love the ability to be able to pause a game state by hitting the PlayStation button. It freezes your game, which then allows you to use other applications. I should also note that like PSP games, Vita titles require a bit of loading time.
So what about those dual analog thumb sticks? I can't deny that they are definitely needed — Nintendo's introduction of the Circle Pad Pro for the 3DS is living proof. That said, their tiny demeanour doesn't allow for much range of motion. I like that they pivot as opposed to slide, but what this has translated to seems to be an increase in their overall sensitivity as they relate to on-screen action. For example, using them to control aiming in Uncharted definitely takes a fair amount of practice to get right. Even then, I still find myself totally missing targets on a regular basis. It's a much different experience compared with what I'm used to on a DualShock controller.
During my testing with the launch games, I found that some titles (aside from those where touch is a central mechanic like in Little Deviants) give you the option to bypass touch controls. It seems the jury is still out on whether all games should offer that option, but I think touchscreen controls occasionally break the flow of gameplay. Needless to say, touch control was a must-have feature from the start, so we'll have to see how its evolution plays out on the new platform. What I do love, though, is the rear touch panel and how it prevents any visual impairment while still using touch controls. Using the panel feels natural and from what I've seen so far, I enjoy it more than using the front screen for touch.
It's easy to hit the rear touch panel by accident, but most games understand that and either leave room for it or allow the mode to be turned off.
(Credit: CBSi)
Just like the DualShock controller, the Vita uses motion control as well. It's another game mechanic that I'm not totally sold on, but it does appear in a sizable chunk of launch games. Love it or hate it, it's still a better experience compared with the 3DS's, simply because moving that system around almost always breaks up the 3D effect.
The inclusion of two cameras allows the Vita to enter the world of augmented reality (AR). The technology superimposes game elements into the environment around you by looking through Vita's screen. Nintendo wowed us with a collection of AR games included with the system; the games force the player to move around a general area (in most cases a table top). Bundled in with the Vita are six AR cards that work with a free game available in the PlayStation Store. The AR experience on the Vita is much smoother (in terms of frame rate) and arguably better implemented than what I've seen on the 3DS. Still, the technology does feel a bit gimmicky, but Vita developers seem to be using it more than 3DS game makers.
I also wanted to point out how well I think the Vita's on-board speakers perform. Now you'll probably want to opt for headphones for most gaming situations (it improves battery life and is general common courtesy), but it's definitely worth noting their clear and crisp sound and performance.
I've had plenty of hands-on time with around a dozen games, but here are a few words on some titles I've spent a considerable amount of time with:
Uncharted: Golden Abyss: easily the one absolutely must-have game at launch, Golden Abyss is Uncharted in your pocket. Touch controls feel gimmicky, but there's the option to bypass them completely. Here's where I also really began to struggle with the analog thumb sticks, but after weeks of play, I'm much better than where I was when I started the game.
EA Sports FIFA Soccer: the Vita's 5-inch screen shines here the most out of any launch game. The level of detail is amazing, as you can see a huge chunk of the field at any given time. Here I really dislike the touch controls, though, including the rear panel. Accidentally hitting the panel is too easy to do, so I turned those controls off.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: while I found this chaotic fighting game a lot of fun, it's limited in terms of modes when played offline. Even though there's a "touch mode", this one's best experienced with buttons only.
Wipeout 2048: another great example of the sheer processing power the Vita packs in, Wipeout 2048 is a fast, dazzling racer that displays lightning-quick visuals. The pace to the racing is great, though it can spiral into anarchy at any given moment. Wipeout is a classic PlayStation franchise, and 2048 continues the legacy.
Touch My Katamari: I was very excited to see a Katamari game hit the Vita at launch. While it's an odd concept (you roll over items to make your Katamari ball bigger), it's extremely accessible, and the Vita's rear touch panel works great to stretch your Katamari. Pick up Touch My Katamari if you're interested in a game that you can pick up and play in short spurts.
Most launch games will range in price from AU$40 to AU$70 (and for less when downloaded off the PlayStation Store). PSN-only games look to start at US$10 and up.
Online experience and PlayStation Store
The pre-installed portable mini version of the PSN Store is actually a breeze to use. I downloaded Super Stardust Delta fairly quickly, and the Vita performed this in the background. The store interface is tailored for touch controls and is split up into two main categories, Game and Video. Similar to its PS3 counterpart, the store allows for movie rentals and purchases, and full Vita game, PSP, Mini and demo downloads. Judging by the initial pricing, purchasing full Vita games from the Store will net you a discount.
I haven't had much experience with online multiplayer with the Vita, but I plan on taking Wipeout 2048 for a spin. I'll update this review with any necessary details.
The 3DS and the rest of the portable gaming landscape
It's only fair to compare the Vita with the 3DS, as they're the only game-centric portable consoles out on the market. While the 3DS has had almost an entire year head start in front of the Vita, the two will be going head-to-head for the handheld gaming crown.
Judging by what I've seen from each system and its respective software library, the Vita appears to provide more of a complete gamer experience. The graphical comparison isn't even close, and I think the Vita's launch line-up already trumps what the 3DS has offered in almost a year's time. That said, most Vita games appear to cost roughly AU$10 or so more than the average 3DS game, and it's now AU$100 more than the price of a 3DS system, not counting the hidden added costs. There's also no doubt that the Vita is a better all-around media player, what with its enormous 5-inch OLED screen. Plain and simple: movies look better on the Vita.
While Sony and Nintendo have been battling since the PSP's introduction in 2005, both companies have had to deal with the threat of other emerging platforms like iOS and Android. Apple and Google have completely changed the mobile gaming landscape, so it's now on Sony and Nintendo to persuade consumers of a need to carry around an entirely separate device — a device that does not make phone calls.
It's a tough sell to someone who has never owned or even heard of a Game Boy, but there's no denying that portable consoles still provide more-precise control and overall better production value than your typical flick and swipe mini-game.
Are we in a period of transition? Will the 3DS and Vita be the last of their kind? It's unknown right now, but it's becoming quite clear that people want all-in-one devices. One version of the Vita has a 3G antenna — why not make it a phone?
The PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS certainly have their work cut out. They must find a place to exist in a world where being an all-in-one device and having long battery life is what matters. Perhaps most importantly, each system must continue to deliver compelling software that gives non-traditional gamers a reason to put down their smartphone and pick up a portable console.
Should you buy a PlayStation Vita? If you want the best overall portable gaming experience, yes. Sure, the cost of getting started is probably more than you thought, but the Vita's fantastic launch line-up, laundry-list of features, cool apps, silky smooth OS and promising future definitely make a great case for owning one. Will Sony restyle the Vita at some point? Almost certainly. But in terms of a first effort, the Vita is a complete package.

The City of San Antonio's banning of two residents from city hall and the city council chambers are going to be challenged in court.
The Texas Civil Rights Project has decided to take the case of Michael Cuellar, who was banned from City Hall and city council meetings by SAPD and City Attorney Michael Bernard.
Cuellar and John Foddrill, who was also banned from city buildings, are at the center of a debate about first amendment rights to petition the government.
Leaders of the San Antonio Water System now have lowered its rate increase projection for customers. Instead of a 9.9 percent jump, the utility is now proposing a 7 percent rise in monthly bills.
City council members have been struggling with the inevitable rising water rates, especially District 10 Councilman Carlton Soules, who agrees that infrastructure needs to be improved and updated.
Where else can you find six hardback volumes of Moliere's plays?
Cheever Books has it, along with thousands of other titles lining the shelves of the old house on Broadway. Books in the hallways, books in each corner of every room, and books sitting neatly stacked on the floor.
San Antonio's Ethics Review Board met Tuesday night, more than a week after it attempted to settle an ongoing citizen complaint against former Deputy City Manager Pat DiGiovanni.
The problem for the board was that it did not have a quorum, an issue that chair Arthur Downey said hadn't happened in more than a decade, in his experience.
Bexar County plans on launching its own bookless library system this summer. Upon opening, the so-called BiblioTech will be one of the first all-digital public library systems in the country.
A follow-up on last week's program about being banned from city hall. First an extended interview with City Attorney Michael Bernard and then the ACLU sounds off on the right to petition the government. Finally, Evita Mendiola, the spokesperson for Haven for Hope talks about how the cold weather affects the homeless in San Antonio.
The Air Force is releasing details of the first male victims in its widening investigation of the sex scandal at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Air Force officials said late Tuesday that a female instructor is now under investigation for having an alleged unprofessional relationship with a male technical trainee.
In addition, another male instructor has been identified as part of the Air Force probe, suspected of abusive sexual contact of two male trainees.
Many of the book store locations on the West, East, and South Sides of town are of a religious or scholastic tilt, but Collectors Authority stands out as a beacon for comic book collectors.
Part of the reason this local comic book store has been in business for so long on the Southside is its ability to serve a clientele that doesn't really have anything else.
Inspiring reading
Last year (2012) was a Mexico-wide -- and even international -- year of reflection upon the life and career of the Mexican composer and conductor Eduardo Mata. He would have been 70 years old, if not for his tragic death, much too young, in 1995.
The City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services has recommended to council members that a commission dealing with children and families be dissolved.
Formed in the 1980's, the Commission for Children and Families was created to address the needs of parents and their children.
At that time, the city wanted to identify opportunities for learning and growing, making neighborhoods safe, and improving lifestyles and financial fitness.
But times have changed.

Disgaea Infinite comes at a strange time in the PSP life cycle. After completing the one and only play through of the game I was getting shades of Shadow of Destiny, a title recently re-released by Konami that was a launch era title for the PS2. Featuring multiple endings and a branching story based on events that take place, I wasn't too far off in my comparison to Shadow of Destiny. Disgaea Infinite has a bit more meat on its bones by offering users different methods to reach a variety of endings that feature other NIS characters. The only downside here is that Disgaea Infinite's story is woefully short, with the first ending being accessible in as little as four hours. Considering the large cast of characters and the humor involved you have to ask yourself, 'How much do I like Disgaea?"
The story revolves around the Disgaea universe but the experience is remarkably similar to past titles staring the series mascot, the Prinnies. As a lone Prinny it is your job to prevent the attempted assassination of Laharl, who is threatening budget cuts left and right for the already underpaid Prinnies. After being booted out of Laharl's castle for napping on the job, our Prinny hero finds a watch cleverly named TickTock that allows him to remove his soul from his body. From there it's a race against time before Laharl's assassination is carried out (sometimes in a hilarious manner). The adventure is shaped by the user's actions and decisions on who to follow to learn who is the real assassin, along the way you can alter the flow of events by using the powers granted by TickTock.
Gameplay in Disgaea Infinite is surprisingly bare bones when compared to Shadow of Destiny. Where as Shadow of Destiny has you running around a nondescript European town, Disgaea Infinite just has you following characters around watching from their perspective. As the Prinny you must navigate through a series of events that you view by possessing various characters of the Disgaea universe. After a few failed attempts you are then granted the ability to control the minds of the people you've possessed when certain situations arise which can lead you to the the proper story path, to a completely separate story, or a very abrupt end. This winds up being the single most frustrating aspect of the game. After failing you are sent straight back to the beginning of the whole story. Sometimes you'll uncover little pieces of information that point you in the right direction.
But most of the game is trial and error. Allowing the user to bypass text that has already been seen is a good measure to prevent user frustration, but the introduction sequence takes quite a bit of time. You are able to save at any point in the story, so if you have a reference point you can create a save and then load there rather than re-experience the opening portions of the game. There are quite a lot of branches to the story and thankfully a diary is provided that shows you all the story arcs that are going on over the course of the assassination plot. There is a good amount of content here if you want to look it up, but a lot of it is inconsequential unless you want to go for the various endings, which do a decent job of giving you some replay value.
Disgaea Infinite's graphics aren't far removed from the original Disgaea released in 2003. Characters now have a bit of animation in their portraits when their mood changes, and Laharl's castle has been redesigned giving previously 2-D areas a much more polished look in full 3-D. Some scenes play out with the sprites used in previous titles and for the most part they look fine on the PSP's small screen. Audio has multiple language tracks and is typical Disgaea fare, you either love it in English or prefer Japanese be spoken. Music is the Tenpei Sato stuff that you've heard before and has a few pieces that are good, but nothing really stands out here.
The amount of value you get out of a title like Disgaea Infinite depends on how much you like the Disgaea universe. As a fan of the series I liked this interesting little side story and though I grew frustrated with the trial and error gameplay I saw it through to the end to see what kind of wacky endings the title would boast. For a budget title you get a few hours of distraction, but it's hard to shake that initial feeling that there isn't much to build upon, sure there are entries to find in the Prinny Diary, but they're just pieces of knowledge that you'd get from playing any of the full fledged titles. Thankfully being a portable title when you hit a wall you can just make a quick save and come back when you've got the itch to move along in the story. If you're on a budget and want an introduction to the Disgaea world, you're probably better off picking up the re-release of the first Disgaea title released a few years back for the PSP. But if you're already a Disgaea die-hard then this title will be a welcome addition to your library.

The lodge is owned by Chris and Lori Wood and Michael Hodges, who are kind and extremely helpful. Just to give you an idea of how special the lodge is: when we arrived, Michael had just baked homemade chocolate cookies for the guests stopping by the front desk. The owners made us feel at home and provided us with games, hiking resources, warm cookies, and fresh coffee in the morning!
The lodge consists of 19 units, which range from single rooms to two-bedroom retreats. We stayed in the Heather Cottage, room number 12. It was described to me in a email as a secluded, one-bedroom cottage that honeymooners love. Though I wouldn't exactly call it a honeymoon suite, it was very suitable to our needs. It is as secluded as you can get at the lodge, though the front door does face the playground. It was very quiet for our 3-night stay. We were away during the days and it was mid-September, so we never saw any children.
The cottage had a full kitchen with microwave, coffee pot, and all necessary utencils. We had a fireplace and a fresh bundle of firewood for every night. Since the temperatures were fairly cool in the evenings, we took full advantage of this feature. The bathroom was of average size and had a bathtub and shower with water jets. The outside of the cottage has a deck with a very good view of the surrounding mountains. Wildlife do find their way onto the lodge grounds! We heard something with hooves on our deck one early morning, and we were told that a bear had climbed up on a dumpster the last day we were there.
Depending on the season and the length of your stay, the cost of Heather Cottage is from $85 to 185. We paid $135 per night for three nights in the fall.

2013 JAN 7 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at AIDS Weekly -- Fresh data on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating in Montreal, Canada, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "In Bangladesh, male clients (MCs) of female sex workers (FSWs) represent diverse occupational categories from different socioeconomic strata, and they are considered a bridging group to transmit sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to their spousal and nonspousal female partners. This study aimed to better understand sexual behaviors, STI symptoms, and care-seeking behaviors among MCs of FSWs in Bangladesh." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Montreal, "A cross-sectional study was conducted among MCs from November 2005 to July 2006 in 3 types of sex trade settings in Bangladesh. Of 1565 MCs included in this study, 531 were from brothels, 515 from hotels, and 519 from street-based settings. Among the MCs, 32.2% reported having had STI symptoms within the last 1 year before the interview and 81.5% sought care for those symptoms. Among those who reported symptoms, 44.5% received treatment from pharmacies, 37.4% received treatment from qualified medical professionals, 8.6%, received treatment from nongovernment organization clinics, and 7.8% went to herbal providers. Male clients who had only 1 to 4 years of schooling were 2.4 times more likely to have STI symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-3.8) compared with the MCs having 10 or more years of schooling. The MCs who had sex with more than 3 nonmarital sexual partners in the last month were 2 times more likely to have STI symptoms (adjusted OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.4-2.8). The MCs who used condoms consistently in their non-marital sexual contacts were significantly less likely (adjusted OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.3-0.6) to have STI symptoms. Reported risk behaviors, STI symptoms and care-seeking behavior suggest that MCs are a potential risk group for transmission of HIV and STIs." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The study findings underscore the need to target HIV/STI prevention intervention for MCs, which are predominantly geared toward FSWs." For more information on this research see: Symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Care-Seeking Behaviors of Male Clients of Female Sex Workers in Bangladesh. Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 2012;39(12):979-984. Sexually Transmitted Diseases can be contacted at: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 530 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3621, USA.

Col'Cacchio Pizzeria
Contact Number: 011 928 1352
Serving an incredible range of pizzas, pastas and salads.
This Italian style restaurant has all the charm of an upmarket restaurant, while at the same time maintains the relaxed ambiance of a café-type eatery. Col'Cacchio is still the only pizzeria in South Africa to have received the Heart Foundation's stamp of approval for offering a healthy eating alternative.
Italian dishes are seasonal. Some gastronomes wait a whole year to make their greatest Italian salads from baby rocket leaves dressed with the year's first olive oil pressings. Try it just once and you'll understand why it's worth the wait.
The preparation of traditional Italian food can't be hurried neither can its enjoyment. So what better way to enjoy it than with both hands or swirled to luscious capacity around a fork. Any great chef will tell you the messier the tablecloth the more they know you've truly enjoyed your Italian pizza and pasta.
The greatest compliment we've ever received was from a couple who said a visit to Col'Cacchio pizzeria is like a trip to Italy without the airfare. It could be because we're obsessed with quality and only use the freshest ingredients. Or that we follow authentic Italian recipes and are always on the lookout for new ones. The truth is; we have a secret ingredient. Passion. You'll find it in everything we serve.
Col'Cacchio seats 160 patrons, is a non-smoking restaurant and is located in the Entertainment Emporium.
Operating hours: 11h00 to 00h00 - Sun to Thurs | 11h00 to 01h00 - Fri & Sat

Thanks for adding the great photo of Sarah Ann Donsife Zimmerman, #25057705! My husband is related through her brother, Otho Justus.
With your OK, I have copied your memorial page and will give it to the Woodsboro, MD Historical Society this summer. (I added your copyright info at the bottom.) My father-in-law had a lot info on this family when he passed last year. As we have no one to pass all this info to, I am donating it to the society.
Thanks again.
