Google Music service at this week's Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco, a year after its reveal at the last event. The new service will be similar to what Amazon launched in March, an online storage locker where your songs will be stored in the "cloud." In this case, the "cloud" refers to Google's servers. Once your music is uploaded, you can stream it to your Android-powered mobile phone or via the Web to your computer.Google is finally launching its
While both Amazon and Google's offerings have the same basic concept behind their design, there are some notable differences between the two, as detailed below.
Amazon Cloud Drive: 5 GB for Free, Support for Multiple File Types
Cloud Drive" is the brand name of Amazon's cloud-based streaming music service. Although the focus, at present, is on providing an online home to your MP3 collection, the service already supports other types of files, too, including documents, pictures and videos. In this way, it's more akin to Google's Docs service, because, as with Docs, you can upload almost any of the most commonly-used file types to Amazon's cloud."
The caveat with Amazon's service is the price. You get 5 GB of online storage for free, which equates to around 2,000 songs, assuming you are just using the service for music and nothing else. Anything more, and you have to pay. There are storage plans available with yearly fees attached. These include the following annual plans: 20 GB ($20), 50 GB ($50), 100 GB ($100), 200 GB ($200), 500 GB ($500) and 1,000 GB ($1,000).
However, not only do your Amazon.com MP3 purchases not count towards your storage total, the company is also running a special through the end of the year which allows you to upgrade to the 20 GB plan just for buying one album from Amazon. There's a caveat here as well, that "free" upgrade is only good for one year from the date of the purchase. Afterwards, if you don't sign up to pay for the $20/year 20 GB plan, you'll be automatically downgraded to the free 5 GB plan.
For playing music from your online storage, Amazon's Cloud Drive includes a music streaming service called Amazon Cloud Player. This online app provides basic music controls, playlist support and filters for sorting by Albums, Artists, Genres and Songs. It supports the playback of MP3 files, like those which Amazon itself sells, plus AAC files, like the non-DRM files sold on iTunes. It also supports playlist import from Windows Media Player and iTunes.
The player works on both the Mac and PC platforms, plus Android phones. A somewhat kludgy workaround is available now for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), but it's not as polished as the native Android application. It's also not considered an "official" means of streaming your music by Amazon. The company clearly states on its website that "iPad and iPhone are not currently supported platforms for either the Amazon MP3 Store or Amazon Cloud Player." This is mentioned in a side note at the bottom of a chart featuring the Cloud Player's current status for the Web, Android, BlackBerry and Palm mobile operating systems. The fact that iOS didn't even make the chart further hints at Amazon's planned Android-based tablet, reportedly in the works now. By refusing to support iPhone and iPad, Amazon's tablet has a competitive advantage over Apple devices, and Amazon's MP3 store will have a similar advantage over iTunes. (Well, at least until Apple launches "cloud iTunes," that is).
Google Music: Storage for 20,000 Songs for Free, No Music Store
Google's Music service is also being launched without the record labels' support. Google's failure to negotiate a proper deal with the labels led to the delay in the launch of Google Music, according to reports. However, in Google's case, this is a far worse problem than for Amazon because at least Amazon already had a (legal and licensed) online MP3 store where it sells music. Google does not. For end users, that's certainly a shame, but for Google's own purposes, it may not matter as much. Unlike Amazon, Google's main goal isn't to sell more MP3's to end users, it wants to sell Android-based phones. More philosophically, and core to everything Google does, its goal is also to get more people online, using the Web and Google services, all so they can see and click on more ads.Like Amazon's Cloud Drive offering,
To make up for its missing "store" component, Google is enticing users with features instead. The new service offers things like automatic playlist creation tools and, perhaps more importantly, more free storage. During its initial phase, Google offers beta customers the ability to store up to 20,000 songs for no charge. Google is measuring storage prices in "songs," not GB, for what it's worth. Regardless, Google is offering roughly 10 times the amount of storage as Amazon does, and for free. That's a compelling advantage, and one Google can easily afford. Unfortunately, this "free" option is only available "for a limited time," says Google.
Like Amazon's Cloud Drive, Google Music will involve a lengthy upload process where you use a downloadable client software application installed on your Mac or PC to copy songs from your computer to the cloud. Also like Amazon, a Flash-based Web player will allow you to play your music from your computer, including Google's own Chrome OS operating system. And finally, while Amazon offers a native Cloud Player app for Android, Google will instead update its own Music application for Android, a core app that ships on all Android phones, with support for Google Music. We had previously seen this application in the wild, thanks to users on a popular mobile forum site, XDA-Developers, who discovered a way to install the newer version of the Music app on their phones. They discovered songs could both be streamed and synced to Google's Cloud right from the mobile device itself. Amazon, however, only allows uploads (syncing) from a PC. But both Google and Amazon will support the ability to download songs to your mobile device for offline listening, it appears.
A notable difference between Amazon's Cloud Drive and Google Music is the scope of its offering. While Cloud Drive supports other file types beyond just songs, Google Music, as the name suggests, is for music only. For online storage of other files, Google offers Google Docs, also available as a native Android application.
For now, Google Music will be invite-only - Google I/O attendees will receive invites, as will users of Motorola's Xoom Android-based tablet computer on Verizon, according to TechCrunch.
Geographic Restrictions
Both Amazon's and Google's products are limited to select geographic regions, it should be noted. Currently, Amazon offers Cloud Drive to the U.S., plus Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the U.K.
At launch, Google Music will be U.S.-only.
Note: This article will be updated after Google's official announcement today. Current sources are AllThingsD andTechCrunch, both of which confirmed these facts with Google.

And they're off.
Democrats chose Libby Mitchell and Republicans picked Paul LePage as their party nominees Tuesday night, setting the field for the November contest to replace Gov. John Baldacci.
Mitchell, the Senate President, held back a field of three others, while LePage, the Mayor of Waterville, cruised to victory in a seven-man race.
They will face independents Eliot Cutler, Shawn Moody and Kevin Scott in the fall.
By Susan Cover
PORTLAND — Senate President Libby Mitchell defeated three opponents Tuesday in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, advancing to November's election and moving a step closer to becoming the state's first female governor. (Watch acceptance speech here)
"Tonight speaks to the politics of hope and not fear," she said. "To the politics of bringing people together, not the politics of division."
With 95 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday afternoon, Mitchell had 35 percent of the vote, followed by former Attorney General Steven Rowe with 23 percent, businesswoman Rosa Scarcelli with 22 percent and former Conservation Commissioner Pat McGowan with 20 percent.
Rowe, after hugging his wife, Amanda, and other family members, conceded at 11:45 p.m.
He said he called Libby Mitchell to congratulate her, and pledged to support her in the general election in November.
"Regardless of the outcome, I'm a winner and I feel that way tonight," Rowe said, thanking a crowd of more than 50 at Bull Feeney's pub in Portland's Old Port.
"When we began this 12 months ago, I said it was going to be a journey. And the journey ends tonight," he said.
At Bayside Bowl in Portland – a new venue owned by Mitchell's son Charlie and Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland – Mitchell's supporters gathered in the bar area and bowled a few frames as they awaited results.
Mitchell's spokesman Jeremy Kennedy said the campaign's ground game, which included a get-out-the-vote call from former President Bill Clinton, gave them hope for a win.
"We had an aggressive voter identification effort," he said. "While results are still rolling in, we're cautiously optimistic."
Early on, when televised results showed Waterville Mayor Paul LePage with a commanding lead in the GOP primary, a cheer went up from Mitchell supporters. To Democrats, LePage would be a good opponent because they feel he is less likely to appeal to moderates and independents.
The four Democrats in the primary rarely challenged one another throughout the campaign, with Mitchell, McGowan and Rowe having worked together in various state positions for many years.
Scarcelli, who ran as an outsider, often told voters that she was a needed fresh face in a field of established Augusta insiders.
They called her election night party "Win-Win."
"We're calling it that because no matter what the results, we feel that Rosa has come in and done a great job. Here is someone with no background in politics who has run a terrific campaign against some very experienced politicians," said Sarah Serling, a scheduler for the campaign.
During the day, Rowe, Mitchell and the other candidates criss-crossed the state from polling place to polling place, shaking hands to remind voters one more time that they needed their support for victory.
Mitchell, 69, the first female speaker of the Maine House, said earlier in the day that she wasn't certain she'd win, but that she had received positive reactions from voters.
"I have had such a fabulous response," she said. "Everywhere I've been, there's been a lot of recognition. If I don't win, I'm at peace. I know I've had the support of extraordinary people."
In Lewiston, McGowan, 54, hit two polling places before hopping aboard his airplane to head for Bangor.
He started the day in Fort Kent.

A 72-year-old Lakeland Village man fatally shot a man who he said was creeping through a window into his house early Friday, Oct. 5.
"He had a flashlight and I told him to get out," the homeowner, Jerry Duncan, said by phone Friday evening.
The man didn't leave, he said, so Duncan fired a single shot with his pistol.
"I tried to scare him more than shoot him," Duncan said. "He hollered. I thought he ran off. He was just gone out of the window.
"He made it about 15 feet. The police found him," Duncan said.
Riverside County sheriff's officials said they received a 911 call around 5 a.m. from a home in the 33100 block of Zellar Street near Lake Elsinore where the resident had shot at someone breaking into his house. Deputies arrived to find the intruder suffering from a gunshot wound. Coroner's officials said the 51-year-old Lake Elsinore man, whose name has not been released, died later at a hospital.
Duncan, who has lived on Zellar Street for more than 20 years, said he a spent a couple hours at the sheriff's station being interviewed by deputies.
He said he was alone Friday morning when he awoke to a loud noise and found the power to his house was out — it had been cut.
"I made my way by feel downstairs," he said. "It was black."
The intruder had pushed a window air conditioner into the house. Duncan said he could see the window was open but not much else. He had left his cell phone upstairs and was afraid to go get it for fear the burglar would come inside. But Duncan did retrieve his pistol, which was hidden under a cushion nearby.
"I just stood there for five minutes to see what was going to happen," he said.
Eventually, the man appeared in the window.
Duncan said someone had tried to break in using the same method in recent days but ran away when his wife came into the house. That's why they had the gun handy, he said.
"All I was thinking about was defending myself," he said. "I'm in no shape to fight anybody. I'm 72 years old.
"I'm sorry it happened that way, because I'm sure he's got a family," Duncan said. "I feel bad for them."

Global Fund supports projects in South Africa to fight HIV and AIDS
14 February 2011
Johannesburg, 14 February 2011
GLOBAL FUND SUPPORTS SA INITIATIVES TO FIGHT HIV and AIDS
The South African Breweries Limited, the South African Business Coalition on HIV and Aids (SABCOHA) and the Global Fund, today formalised a partnership which is set to make a significant contribution to South Africa's fight against HIV and AIDS.
The Global Fund will finance five initiatives relating to HIV/Aids under the Global Fund Workplace Programme through a contribution of over R36 million. These initiatives are:
• Project Promote, a public private partnership to assist in reaching government condom distribution targets,
• BizAIDS, helping micro and small sized companies protect their businesses from threats such as HIV and AIDS,
• Peer Educator Training and Support, HIV and AIDS Counselling and Testing
• SAB's Tavern Intervention Programme for Men (TIP).
Each initiative is further strengthened through the resources of SAB, SABCOHA and government.
The programme will run over a period of 5 years with SABCOHA as sub-recipient, responsible for the overall management, monitoring and evaluation of the programme.
The financing follows the approval of the National Religious Association for Social Development's (NRASD) as a Global Fund Round 9 Principle Recipient.
The Global Fund Workplace Programme focus supports the following goals:
• Intensifying community-level behaviour change interventions
• Strengthening the promotion of safe-sexual practice among most-at-risk groups
• Supporting the government driven HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) Campaign
• Expanding access to wellness programmes within workplace environments without extensive support
SABCOHA CEO Brad Mears says: "SABCOHA is excited about the Workplace programme, which is an innovative and unique answer to mobilising a community response.
"The success of the programme will undoubtedly have an impact on the positive goal of Government's HCT campaign with the partnership between SAB and SABCOHA already achieving successes."
SABCOHA hopes that through continued support from institutions like the Global Fund, business will achieve its vision of reducing the infection rate of HIV and AIDS whilst increasing a positive and responsible attitude that ultimately relates to economic and social development.
SAB Director of Corporate Affairs and Transformation Vincent Maphai says: "This multi-stakeholder partnership gives added hope in driving a meaningful and effective impact in the lives of communities. SAB believes that change is only truly possible when like-minded, capable and resource-rich organisations and role players combine their strengths."
The Global Fund is a unique global public/private partnership dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent Tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS and Malaria, identified as three of the world's most devastating diseases. Since its inception in 2001, the organisation has emerged as the predominant funder of these diseases, making up two-thirds of international commitment.
SAB's TIP is one of the most progressive initiatives within the Global Fund Workplace Programme. Officially implemented in October 2010 in partnership with Men for Development in South Africa (Medsa), it is aimed at encouraging behavioural change amongst men. The initiative covers four trends most prevalent in South Africa: Responsible Alcohol Consumption, HIV/Aids, gender violence and child abuse. These are dealt with during interactive workshops held in taverns, a unique element of programme.
Global Fund Manager Resource Mobalisation Unit - Private Sector, David Evans says: "The fight against diseases like HIV and AIDS can only be won through effective public/private partnership. Of course, the private sector should provide resources, but the private sector can provide so much more, notably the skills, energy and creativity of its people.
"SAB's shebeen and tavern programme is a great example, and we are delighted that it is a part of our wider grant in South Africa. The programme provides a great mechanism to reach vulnerable populations with important health messages through some of SAB's own consumer touch points."
SAB is also a strategic partner in Project Promote, using its existing infrastructure, namely depots and truck drivers delivering stock to outlets, to deliver condoms to taverns. SAB carried out a successful pilot of the project in August and September 2010 and will officially implement it across the country over the coming months.
For further information contact:
Robyn Chalmers, SAB Limited Media and Communications on 011 881 8679/ 082 924 2267 email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Notes to Editors:
The 5 core components of the Global Fund Workplace Programme:
* The Tavern Intervention Programme (TIP): The TIP was first conceptualised when Medsa approached SAB Ltd to support a one-day HIV and AIDS awareness campaign in 2008. An assessment showed that the campaign, held in seven taverns, was a success. SAB then decided to build on to this by developing a programme which would have an impact, be sustainable and could be measured. Responsible drinking was included in the programme and the HIV and AIDS module was enhanced.
A pilot of the programme was undertaken in 2009 at three taverns in Gauteng and Mpumalanga with 180 men targeted. A post-intervention assessment of the pilot indicated the TIP could have significant impact if officially implemented.
TIP was officially launched in Mamelodi, east of Pretoria in October 2010.
SAB believes the TIP will in time prove to be crucial in addressing some of the causal effects of alcohol abuse. It will also augment other programmes that focus on empowering victims and sensitising men to issues of HIV/Aids, gender violence and child abuse.
SAB's investment in the TIP will initially help to target at least 4 000 men - 800 per year in all nine provinces over a period of five years.
* Project Promote: A reported increase in condom usage in the latest Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) survey, as well as an increase in government targets from 450 million male condoms to 1 billion male condoms in the coming financial year, has necessitated creative and innovative ways of looking at public private partnerships to increase reliable and consistent access to condoms nationwide. In supporting government's drive to distribute condoms on a greater and wider scale, SABCOHA has been distributing the government brand Choice condoms through non-traditional outlets for the last 5 years. Project Promote is a public private partnership between SABCOHA, the Department of Health, the Society for Family Health (SFH) and the contract cleaning sector. A partnership with SAB has allowed for condoms to distributed to taverns through SAB's infrastructure. The project aims to reach between 12 000-20 000 new outlets over the 5 year period.
* BizAIDS: To help micro and small-sized companies reduce their operational risk and protect their businesses from threats like HIV and AIDS, SABCOHA has, in partnership with the International Executive Service Corporation (see www.iesc.org), a US non-profit organisation - developed BizAIDS, a series of workshops with supportive material. The programme emphasises the importance of knowing your status and motivates people to attend Voluntary Training and Counselling. To date, SABCOHA has successfully implemented BizAIDS in more than 15 000 small and micro-enterprises and through this Global Fund partnership will be able to expand it's activities to focus specifically on informal taverns or shebeens. The programme aims to reach 5700 shebeens over the 5 year period.
* Peer Educator (PE) Training and Peer Educator Support:
Peer Educator Training:
The largest survey of workplace peer education conducted in five large South African companies with a total of 123,000 employers estimated a ratio of one active peer educator to every 69 employees (Dickinson 2006). PE programs are also being established in smaller companies, though these tend to be small scale and more vulnerable to attrition than those in larger companies. To support both the TIP and BizAIDS Programme, the SABCOHA SAB partnership will be increasing the HIV and AIDS capacity and support within taverns/shebeens by training an additional 950 bar waitresses as peer educators over the 5 year period.
Peer Educator Support:
Following Dickson's research, despite the strengths of peer educator programmes and clear evidence of extensive horizontal communication taking place, there are a number of critical problems with current workplace HIV and AIDS peer education programmes:
1. Lack of attention to the emotional and support needs of the PE
2. Lack of training focused on best practice methodologies content
3. Lack of networking between PE's and the implications of this.
4. Lack of structure leadership.
5. Isolation (re-inventing the wheel).
Emerging from the research conducted by Dickinson, it is clear that workplace PE's require greater support including debrief counselling, opportunities to network amongst other PE's, and to be better coordinated. To this end, as part of this partnership SABCOHA has already established a national support line to include experienced call centre peer educator specialists who can receive calls and support the over 100 000 peer educators that exist in South Africa across both private and public sectors. It is the intention that service be available to all peer educators in South Africa regardless of the workplace within which they exist, whether NGO's, governments, informal sectors or private sectors. As an additional support, SABCOHA will publish a monthly newsletter for peer educators that can then be distributed and used as part of their peer education and training.
* HIV Counseling and Testing: The national HCT strategy seeks to test 15 million people out of the 30 million targeted through social mobilisation. The business sector's contribution to these national testing targets is set at just over two million people. The private sector's response is coordinated by SABCOHA. SABCOHA's mandate is to expand the contribution of business in support of Government's HCT targets and to direct services to vulnerable beneficiaries within the business sector. With co-contributions from the private sector, SABCOHA has strategically aligned the HIV counseling and testing component of the Global Fund grant with the broader country HCT campaign and extended this to include a package of wellness tests and services in alignment with the Department of Health's overall strategy. Through these co-contributions, as well as that of the Global Fund grant, SABCOHA aims to provide the package of wellness services to 44 000 individuals over the 5 year period.
About SABCOHA:
SABCOHA has as its five key strategic objectives: SABCOHA is the representative organisation for business in relation to HIV and AIDS with a strong membership base within large, medium and small companies.
Through networking and relationship building, advocacy and communication are effectively conducted both within SABCOHA and externally on behalf of business.
Through partnerships SABCOHA programmes and projects are accessed by businesses, to enhance current initiatives, thereby providing direct benefit to participating companies.
Activities by business and its achievements in combating HIV and AIDS are monitored, evaluated and communicated, demonstrating increasing levels of learning , impact and accountability.
SABCOHA coordinates business activities at national and provincial levels through sound human and financial resource management, systems, and governance structures. Projects are funded primarily by organisations such as CDC and Global Fund.
About the Global Fund:
The Global Fund is a unique global public/private partnership dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities represents a new approach to international health financing. The Global Fund works in close collaboration with other bilateral and multilateral organisations to supplement existing efforts dealing with the three diseases.
Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund has become a dominant financier of programs to fight the three diseases, with approved funding of US$ 21.7 billion for more than 600 programs in 150 countries. To date, programs supported by the Global Fund have saved 6.5 million lives through proving Aids treatment for 3 million people, anti-tuberculosis treatment for 7.7 million people and the distribution of 160 million insecticide-treated bed nets for the prevention of malaria.
Global Fund financing is enabling countries to strengthen health systems by, for example, making improvements to infrastructure and providing training to those who deliver services.
About the NRASD (National Religious Association for Social Development)
The NRASD is a network of religious groups with the aim of fostering the role of religious organisations in social development projects.
The basic approach of the NRASD is to strengthen the capacity and programmes of existing networks to enable them to play an even bigger role in this field.
Together the religious groups present by far the largest networks for social, welfare and development work in South Africa.
The leadership involved in the NRASD represents well-known religious and academic leaders.

Valdosta State Too Much for Saints, Win 11-2
DAHLONEGA, GA – Valdosta State University
scored 11 runs on as many hits as the Blazers took down North
Georgia 11-2 Tuesday afternoon at Bob Stein Stadium in
non-conference action.
North Georgia falls to 15-12 on the season, while Valdosta State improves to 21-9 on the year.
After the Blazers put the first run on the board in the second inning, the Saints came right back and tied the game on a two-out Adam Baker double to deep center, scoring Brad Hall and making it 1-1.
Valdosta State could do little wrong in their half of the fourth inning, sending 13 batters to the plate and putting seven hits together to score eight runs. Sho Kohata singled home the first run of the inning, while Jon Koenigsfeld, Brandon Decker, and Matt Costello each drove in a pair of runs in the frame. The Saints handed the Blazers another run in the fifth inning with a bases loaded walk to make it 10-1.
North Georgia came back with a single run in the sixth inning as Hall delivered his fourth home run of the year to make it 10-2.
Valdosta State added one more run in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly as the Blazers pulled out the 11-2 victory.
Blake Hobby (2-2) suffered the loss in 3.1 innings of work, allowing eight runs on four hits, while Thomas Tripp (2-0) picked up the win in relief, tossing 3.0 innings and allowing two hits and one earned run.
North Georgia will host Valdosta State again tomorrow afternoon with first pitch set for 3:00 p.m.

Eric and Soyung Key go off to work each day as owners and managers of CalhounKnows.com, which endeavors to combine merchandise sales and trades, real estate listings, job searches, recipes, devotionals and more into a locally oriented package.
Theirs is not part of a franchise network.
"We're a mom-and-pop business," Eric Key said. "Strip the bells and whistles off, we're just mom and pop."
Indeed they are — married in 2000, the Keys have two young children. Previously California residents, the family moved to Jacksonville only a year and half ago.
"I love the Southern hospitality here," said Soyung Key, 40.
Eric, 46, was a Jacksonville State University student from 1983-'88, thus they had a connection to the region.
The Keys began developing CalhounKnows.com in December and opened it in February. They say it has more than 500 registered users — from businesses who advertise to consumers seeking product information. An employee sells space to businesses on a commission basis.
The Keys said the business arose out of their perception that Calhoun Countians didn't know everything about their community, at least in an economic sense.
"The people did not really know what was in the next town," Eric said.
"People don't know what's out there."
To that end, the Keys say they're getting out and making personal contact with all businesses they can find. They say that approach matches the small-town way in which many projects are undertaken.
"Everything seems to be word-word-of-mouth around here," Soyung said.
Browsing their website is useful, but the greatest advantage is gained when the consumer registers. That's necessary when a user wants to send an e-mail to a business, to get a price on merchandise or to learn the directions of a recipe.
The Keys make money by selling space to local businesses. They don't sell registration data to other businesses.
"We try to practice the golden rule in our business," Soyung said. "We want this to be as easy to use as possible."
Overall, their goal is to always keep their site fresh.
"We've tried to make it 'sticky,'" Eric said, using a website design term for the quality that makes people want to keep coming back to see what's new.
To be fair, they've had plenty of experience in website design and maintenance. After several years of web work in California for top name companies — Eric was at Mattel, for example, and Soyung was at American Greetings — the couple in 2004 started a design company in San Francisco called imgforge.
They continue to operate that business full time in conjunction with their work at CalhounKnows.com.
If you know of anyone who'll talk about what he or she does for a living, or if you are such a person yourself, drop a line to firstname.lastname@example.com for a possible write-up in "Off to Work."

The sony lens has an effective F stop of 2.4 at the short end and an effective F stop of 3.4 at the long end. Numerically, this calculates to an F stop change of 1.01 in terms of the amount of glass size at either end which means slightly over a 50% reduction at the long end over the short. Its a log function, an example (f 2.8 to f 4.0 is 1 full F stop or a reduction of 50%). In terms of light gatrher power the lens is 50% slower at the long end. Since we know the lumens out on one sample close throw, it would seem that one could calculate the amount out at long throw but it isn't that simple because only a small portion of the lens area is used at either end. Perhaps Coderguy can use the effective f stops I posted in his calculator. I haven't looked at it yet. Maybe it already does.

TTU's World Cultures Program Rated "Best" by National AssociationHelping students prepare to work in the international economic community has earned Tennessee Technological University national recognition for its new "World Cultures and Business" degree program.
The American Association of State Colleges and Universities has named the bachelor's program in its annual list of "best practices," a compilation of the nation's top 100 programs deemed to be most effective in meeting societal needs, student demands and advances in knowledge.
"We began officially offering the major in the summer of 1998, but we already have upperclassmen who have entered the program and are doing domestic and international internships to develop their knowledge and skill in the international marketplace," said program director Eston Evans.
The only World Cultures and Business degree in the state, Tennessee Tech's newest bachelor's degree program is interdisciplinary, blending humanities with international finance and economics. Course requirements include international finance, management and marketing, and foreign languages, history and world studies electives such as literature.
"We are able to tailor internships to fit the needs of our students," said Evans. "One student, who is multi-lingual, has chosen to spend a semester with a local company, Tutco, which deals with several companies and clients abroad. Another is scheduled to study in the Netherlands during the next school year. Other students will be able to arrange foreign internships or 'study abroad' opportunities to meet their interests."
Tennessee Tech consulted the marketplace to ensure that its program's courses would produce students prepared to face the reality of international commerce. College of Business Dean Robert Bell and other faculty members held a number of focus groups with employers and other business leaders. Bell says corporate leaders unanimously emphasized the need for continuous strengthening of international perspectives.
"Graduates will work in many different settings, and most business students will work in an international framework," said Bell. "Their markets will be worldwide, and their competitors will come from all over the world. Many of their employers - even if they're located in Nashville, Carthage or Gainesboro - will be international corporations."
At an AASCU meeting in November, the association highlighted Tennessee Tech's World Cultures program as well as programs from other universities to illustrate that many state colleges and universities have responded to calls from policymakers and others for more efficiency and accountability.AASCU is a Washington-based higher education association of more than 425 public colleges and universities and higher education systems across the United States and the U.S. territories.

Carlsbad >Attorneys > Doan Law Firm Llp
2850 PIO Pico Dr Ste D, Carlsbad, CA | Directions 9200833.166393 -117.343047
Monday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Tuesday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Thursday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Friday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Saturday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM; Sunday: Closed
Neighborhoods: Carlsbad
Good communication was carried on through the whole bankruptcy. The lawyers knew their stuff.
After meeting with my lawyer, we worked out a payment option for the services. Very nice to do that and made the process much easier to deal with.
I had no problems scheduling my appointments. The staff and office was very flexible. I also thought the office was neat and clean.
I give the service and product from Doan Law 5 stars. I have nothing to share that was bad and only have good things to say about my experience. Bankruptcy is a hard decision. For me, the professionals at Doan Law were very helpful.
I really liked that there was a Spanish speaking attorney here. The staff was patient and they sent letters in a timely manner. Everything was fine, no other comments needed!
I'm glad I went to this law office. They helped me a lot and were easy to get to.
This firm gets 5 stars from us across the board. The attorney fully explained everything to us, including their policies and our financial obligations. High recommendations.
The one in Carlsbad robbed me blind. Stated that I was qualified to file according to the means test, but later found out from the legal assistant that the attorney had entered the wrong amount of dependents for me. As it turns out, I was not qualified. But that didn't stop them from trying to convince me to go finance another vehicle to "make me qualified." Why would I do that if I'm trying to get OUT of debt? Next they offered to "adjust" my income, insisting that the board of trustees wouldn't check that information. I had already paid over $1100 at this point and couldn't get my money back. The spineless attorney Mike Doan wouldn't return my calls or even discuss it. Not even when his own assistant sent him a reminder email from HER computer in my presence. They did, however, find the time to send me an inflated bill for "services" that they claimed to have completed on my filing. None of which was correct because no one did anything until I had made the final payment.
CROOKS, CROOKS, CROOKS. As far as I'm concerned, the whole family should be put out of business. If this is how they treat a veteran of 16 years, I wonder how they treat others?
Awful, terrible, disrespectful, liars, unprofessional! – This was the worst experience of my professional life. I was referred to this low rent office by two friends. They each paid 1200 and had cases much more complex than mine. My case is very simple. No lawsuits, no home, very old debt. They wanted to charge me $2200 and when I advised that my friends had paid only 1200 I was told by the person I had a consultation with (he wasn't even an attorney) that was impossible and that he's been there two years and no one has ever paid so little. He finally pulled up one of the names and sure enough he tells me that she did in fact pay 1200 but that she was a hardship case and her family members helped her pay for it. He absolutely shouldn't be disclosing her personal details to me and lying isn't good either. I felt like I was being sold a car. It was non stop bs and lies. After the appointment I called to complain. I spoke to Chris, who initially set up the consultation. He was very nice and apologetic. He said he would do what he could to fix this. So about an hour later I receive a call from a Doan brother. This man was rude, disrespectful and only seemed interested in telling me that I was cheap. I told him that I was perfectly willing to pay a couple hundred dollars more than my friends but that I found an extra 800 to be excessive. All I wanted to know was why they thought my case should cost 2200. He said that because my total debt is high the 2200 is reasonable. So, apparently, if I had judgements and lawsuits that would be better than owing a creditor a large amount, even though those issues actually create more work. Huh? They will justify the excessive prices by saying something like this, "2200 to get rid of 50,000 isn't bad." So, by that logic if I had a house I owed 200,000 on I would only pay more than 8,000 to file bankruptcy??? He raised his voice to me, talked over me and yelled at me. I finally had to hang up because he wouldn't let me talk and I am not accustomed to being yelled at. I have done some research on all the reviews this company has and I have found that the same people are going in and leaving multiple reviews for Doan Law Firm. Let me make clear that this bad review has nothing to do with the price I was quoted. It has everything to do with the lies I was told and the way that I was talked to and yelled at. I think that Chris from the San Clemente office is much too nice and professional to work with these bitter-seeming old men. He should teach a professional etiquette class to the employees of Doan Law Firm in Santa Ana.

- Whit Stillman, "Metropolitan"
Famously dubbed the "the WASP Woody Allen" and the "Dickens of people with too much inner life" by reviewers and critics when his comedy-of-manners indie pictures arrived in the early 1990s, Whit Stillman's ironic, clever and urbane examinations of upward and downward social mobility and the shallow concerns and preoccupations of the young, privileged and affluent won him a legion of adoring fans as soon as his first film premiered at Cannes. Evincing a polished sensibility through a send-up and celebration of the often ridiculous customs and etiquettes of upper-class social orders, Stillman is also a champion of the overlooked merits of conservative status quo conventions. His debut "Metropolitan" and the equally wry "Barcelona" were both critical and (modest) commercial hits, but 1998's "The Last Days of Disco" was tepidly received and a commercial flop, and Stillman went more than a decade without making a follow-up (which is a shame because it's just as arch and witty as anything he ever made).
According to a recent New York Times profile, the director had moved to Paris not long after "The Last Days of Disco" and he told the Village Voice last month that, "I was kind of feeling beaten up after 'Disco.' I felt we were unfairly treated. It's really tough, making a film. So I did want some time just to exist and to write." He penned TV pilots to keep him afloat, and even had an offer to direct an episode of "Sex and the City," but otherwise, only faint word of potential projects leaked over the years. But after a restoration of "Metropolitan" started to do the rounds, and as the critical reputation of 'Disco' was restored thanks to a Criterion Collection reissue, Stillman found himself back in the spotlight. And at a 2010 party at the L.A. Film Festival, Stillman was introduced by "Tiny Furniture"/"Girls" writer/director Lena Dunham to her producer Alicia Van Couvering, who helped Stillman get his fourth feature, "Damsels In Distress," a script he'd been working for years, in motion, and the film went before cameras that year.
The college-set comedy teamed him up with a new generation of talent, including mumblecore darling Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody and Analeigh Tipton (with cameos from Aubrey Plaza and Alia Shakwat, among others), and after hitting the festival circuit last year, it's arriving in theaters this weekend. And as our review demonstrates, it's more than worth the lengthy wait, serving up a timeless comedy that, were it not for a few anal sex jokes (which have been trimmed down for release anyway), almost could have been made at any time in the last half-century. With Stillman returning to theaters, it felt like it was time to look back across the director's (admittedly small) filmography to map the path to 'Damsels.' Hopefully, before too long, there'll be plenty more output to add to this list. And for more from Stillman, check out our recent interview with the director.

Good retrospective and glad you guys love him as much as I do. Still wondering how Metropolitan comes out with the lowest grade of his 90s films, though, when it's pretty much everyone's favorite and is certainly better than Barcelona.

Nice Retrospective in details. The Last Days of Disco is still always one of my favorite films. Damsels in Distress may be less sharply ironic than it, more chicky.

Chicago Phoenix (12.03.12)
The Chicago Department of Public Health presented a report at the 2012 Chicago LGBTQ Health and Wellness Conference on November 30. The report compared findings from the CDC-funded National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System surveys done in 2008 and 2011, and it shows a substantial increase in HIV testing, awareness of HIV status, and access to medical treatment among Chicago men who have sex with men (MSM). Young black men, the city's only subpopulation currently experiencing annual increases in HIV diagnoses, provided the report with the most encouraging numbers.
At some point during their lifetime, almost all MSM in Chicago have been tested for HIV; 57 percent are meeting the CDC guidelines of undergoing at least annual testing. Young black MSM reported the highest rate of annual testing, with 71 percent. Chicago has experienced a decrease across races in the number of persons who are unaware of being HIV-infected: in 2011, only 22 percent were unaware of being HIV-infected, compared to 52 percent in 2008. Two thirds of black MSM were not aware of their infection in 2008; now just one third are unaware, according to Nikhil Prachand, senior epidemiologist at the Chicago Department of Public Health.
Those testing HIV-positive are far more likely to be on medication. HIV-positive black MSM taking HIV medications almost doubled from 2008 to 2011—44 percent in 2008 and 84 percent in 2011. The proportion of Hispanic and white MSM on antiretrovirals also increased. Not all numbers were so encouraging. The 2011 numbers revealed that the percentage of HIV-positive MSM increased slightly since 2008; however, this is likely to continue, as people with HIV continue to live longer and healthier lives. Twenty-one percent of survey respondents tested positive for HIV in 2011, up from 18 percent in 2008.
Racial disparities have continued in the most recent survey. Since 2005, there has been a gap in new diagnoses, particularly between black and white MSM, explained Prachand. In 2011, 35 percent of black MSM survey participants tested HIV-positive, compared to 13 percent of Hispanic and 17 percent of white participants. Community representatives focused on the social determinants of HIV infection, such as incarceration, unemployment, and low educational attainment. The Chicago Area HIV Integrated Services Council will use data from the report to make funding recommendations to be presented to the city for 2014 programs.

Asthma quick-relief drugs work fast to control asthma symptoms. You take them when you are coughing, wheezing, having trouble breathing, or having an asthma attack. They are also called "rescue" drugs.
These drugs help relax the muscles of your airways. They are called "bronchodilators."
You and your doctor can make a plan for the quick-relief drugs that work for you. This plan will include when you should take them and how much you should take.
Plan ahead. Make sure you do not run out. Take enough with you when you travel.
Short-acting beta-agonists; Bronchodilators; Oral steroids
Short-acting beta-agonists are the most common quick-relief drugs for treating asthma attacks.
They also can be used just before exercising to help prevent asthma symptoms that are caused by exercise. They work by relaxing the muscles of your airways, and this lets you breathe better during an attack.
Tell your doctor if you are using quick-relief medicines twice a week or more to control your asthma symptoms. Your asthma may not be under control, and your doctor may need to change your dose of daily control drugs.
These are names of some quick-relief asthma drugs:
Quick-relief asthma drugs may cause these side effects:
Your doctor might prescribe oral steroids when you have an asthma attack that is not going away. These are medicines that you take by mouth as pills, capsules, or liquids.
Your doctor will tell you how long you need to take them. Most times, you will take them for 3 to10 days
Three oral steroids are prednisone, prednisolone, and methylprednisolone.

The Pecos building at Texas State University will soon be filled with the sound of punches and kicks as the University Police Department teaches their next Krav Maga class. The class is scheduled to take place March 21 from 5 to 9 p.m.
To give students a better idea of what they'll learn during the class, the University Police Department will hold a demonstration in the Quad March 19 from noon to 2 p.m.
While on the Quad, two trained Krav Maga instructors will demonstrate basic moves – kicks, punches, etc. – to aid students in self-defense. Students will be given an opportunity to sign up for the upcoming class during the demonstration and practice basic moves with the instructors.
The first 25 students will be guaranteed a spot in the class and any others will be put onto a waiting list. All Krav Maga classes taught on campus will be free.
"Krav Maga in American is a major business and we are one of the only places teaching this training for free," instructor Otto Glenewinkel said.
The class that will be held March 21 will take place at the Krav Maga training facility located at the Pecos Building, 201 Pleasant St.
Students will receive a one hour lecture portion to enhance awareness of their surroundings and their ability to avoid escalations and dangerous states of social interaction. There are also features focusing on the physical knowledge that comes with the Krav Maga technique, such as chokes, wrist grabs, head locks and other forms of defensive action.
After this is completed, they will be taken into a gym where each student will receive gloves and a punching mat. The instructors will then spend time teaching the students the basic Krav Maga moves and tactics.

here's what i did:
you're going to need some: modge podge, a paint brush, glitter (i love the martha stewart fine pretty colored glitters but this .99 cent tube fit my budget), clear nail polish and a key.
take your brush and dip it into the modge podge and put a good coat on one side of your key.
dump glitter onto the glued key.
shake off the excess. let dry for a few minutes and repeat with the backside.
it already looks so puurrrty.
once both side are glittered up take your clear nail polish and paint a few coats onto each side to ensure the glitter won't come off.
let the key dry and place it back onto your key ring. i have to say i do love my sparkly key. it also makes it easy to find the key in the dark because i can now feel which key is my house key and it sparkles with the light of the moon.
dude. why does my thumb looks so fat!?
