AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn and NCAA officials differed widely on ''about everything'' concerning charges that the basketball program committed major violations, interim President Ed Richardson said. He predicted the sanctions wouldn't be as heavy as some feared.
Auburn presented its case to the NCAA's Committee on Infractions Friday in a session lasting more than 12 hours Friday in Phoenix, mostly dealing with the recruitment of high school prospects Chadd Moore and Jackie Butler.
''There was considerable difference on the facts in the case as it pertained to some of the major violations,'' Richardson told reporters after the hearing ended late Friday night.
He said the NCAA panel told him it would issue a verdict in five to seven weeks, culminating an investigation that began about 23 months ago.
Richardson, athletic director David Housel, head basketball coach Cliff Ellis and assistant coach Shannon Weaver were the principal figures presenting Auburn's case.

Smithville takes division title over Ingomar
Missed opportunities helped Smithville win a division title, as the Lady Seminoles defeated Ingomar 9-2 on Thursday.
The Lady 'Noles opened their scoring attack in the third, as a walk and three straight singles brought in the first run. An error and another single by Jennie Avery made it 3-0.
Smithville added on another run in the third, and the Lady Falcons got on the board in the third, as Kate Webb hit a two-out double and scored off a single by Shelly Grisham.
Up 5-1 in the top of the seventh, the Lady 'Noles scored four runs off five straight hits. Mallory Adair hit a leadoff single in the bottom half of the frame and scored on a single by Webb.
Ingomar had opportunities to score, primarily in the first and sixth innings, but could not capitalize in the loss.
"Any opportunity we had, we totally missed it, one hundred percent. We got outplayed in every aspect of the game," Ingomar head coach Andy Wilbanks said. "I thought coming in, with it being the biggest game of the year, we'd be up, and we were not. After it was three to nothing, we were done. They never came back, never responded, and we need to work on that going into the playoffs for sure."
Web led the Lady Falcons with three hits and an RBI, while Reid Little and Grisham each had two hits.
For Smithville, Breanna Edgeworth had three hits and Kami Roberts, Linsey Lann, Laken Armstrong and Lane Kennedy each had two in the win.
Ingomar will host North Pontotoc this week before the playoffs.

Very flavourful stuffed egg recipe. I substituted fresh dill for the parsley as I wanted a more assertive herb (and dill works very well with all the other ingredients). Be prepared for a pink-stuffed egg. The beet turns the mayonnaise the wildest shade of pink and these eggs will definitely attract attention. I did add just a dash of sugar to the mayo too. BTW, the caper at the end is not just decorative, it provides a great burst of pungent saltiness.
How Yummy! Tonight we served these with a Greek themes dinner (for guests) and everyone loved it, even a guest who has never liked "devilled eggs." Not only are they very tasty--they are beautiful! The color combination of the red stuffing and the green capers is eye-catching. One caution. Make certain your hands are not "stained" by the beets when you handle the "whites" as you are stuffing them. The white stains easily; if they are NOT stained, the contast between the "white" cases and the bright pink stuffing is stunning. I made these ahead of time (in the AM) and served them at night. Very good, will make again and again, especially at Christmas as an appetizer (red/green color scheme).
Gorgeous version of stuffed eggs. Made for Zaar World Tour and my daughters' house-warming party. They disappeared quickly.
We love beets, we love eggs. We now love beets and eggs! I've often eaten beets with boiled eggs, but never thought to combine them as one. And with capers yet. What's not to like. This has so many good things going for it. Glad they all married well. Thnx for posting Sharon. Made for ZWT4.
I've always enjoyed pink eggs (usually pickled) so this was a welcome change for the family. I'd only made half the recipe but now realize I should have done the lot. I used a white wine vinegar and the results were very good. Made for ZWT4.

Overview of Deploying a Simple Managed Environment
Updated: March 28, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
This chapter provides a blueprint for deploying a simple managed environment. While it provides a complete end-to-end management solution for a small computing network, larger organizations can also use this chapter as a starting point for their configuration, and scale out as needed.
You can leverage the information in this chapter in two ways.
Create a small production environment If you are the system administrator of a small organization that wants to deploy a new network based on servers running the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 operating system, use the instructions here to build your initial production environment from the ground up, adding client computers and additional servers as needed. Be sure to follow all of the testing procedures included in "Testing and Deploying Your Configuration" later in this chapter, before inviting users to start their production work in the environment.
Create a test environment If you are part of a large organization's IT management team, use the guidelines and procedures in this chapter to build a test network for testing various implementations of Active Directory® directory service and Group Policy in Windows Server 2003. After the structure is in place and your work has been tested, staged, and deployed to your production network, you can continue to use this small network for modeling and testing new Group Policies.

I host a site which supplies 25 of the coolest people on earth with WordPress Blogs. In adding themes to their blogs, I noticed that there's really no way to sort the themes, other than the default alphabetically.
It would be really cool to be able to sort the themes by their modified or copied folder dates, so new themes could be listed at the top (rather than sorting through a list of 25, trying to find which three I just added.)
Great, great software! You've got my donation!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- David Ortiz can remember trying to play first base at the Metrodome in Minnesota when he was breaking into the major leagues. He can remember how hard it can be to catch a white baseball that disappears into a white roof.
"It's funny that you ask that question," Ortiz said from the chair in front of his locker, because when we were going through the scouting report we were just talking about it. As much as I've played here, I don't think that happens often -- like it used to happen at the Metrodome. I guess the roof is more, I would say, dark. But it happens.
Then he chuckled.
"You're asking the question to the wrong guy," he said with a smile. "I don't play defense."
Mike Napoli plays defense. Napoli thought he should have had the pop-up that decided the game.
"My first read was to stay back, and then I started running in and overran it," he said.
John Lackey had thrown a hard fastball in on the hands of Matt Joyce, and Joyce had popped it up. It was just the type of pitch Lackey had needed to make to short-circuit the Rays' big inning, to strand two runners on base and to get his team back in the dugout with the game still tied.
But then the ball disappeared in the roof.

In the highly-competitive construction industry we know that even a minor set-back can have an effect on completing a complex project under budget and on time. That's why we've created a configurable, contemporary software solution to address the problems that prevent our clients from succeeding – because if our clients don't succeed, neither do we. But don't let us do all the talking. Hear what Viewpoint clients have to say.
W.L. Gary's Mike Sardo and Will Spencer of Herrero Builders share the benefits and efficiencies achieved with Vista by Viewpoint.
EnviroCon President, Larry Stevens explains why it was a smart decision and an easy process for his company to move their technology to the Viewpoint Cloud.
Barb Persun, CFO, RLS Construction shares the immediate financial, estimating and reporting advantages her business gained by switching from Quickbooks to ProContractor.
Juli Munro of Wanzek Construction and Kinsley's Wanda Peatross explain how collaborative project management has improved their business.
Dan Ramsbottom of Forbes Bros. Powerline Construction discusses how the Vista by Viewpoint suite of modules gives his business a complete technology solution.
Blaine Hudson, President of Hudson Mechanical, discusses how his organization uses Viewpoint's MEP Estimating software to gain an Upfront Advantage on all estimates and bids for every project.
Learn how migration from Maxwell to Viewpoint by Vista has gone for three customers and how their businesses have benefited from the upgrade.
Learn how Winvan Paving was able to improve communication between the office and field by consolidating software applications with Viewpoint.
Western Canada's Winvan Paving Ltd., has been a service oriented road builder
for over 45 years. As Winvan grew, they wanted to insure that their internal
procedures and processes grew with them, enabling them to continue both high
customer satisfaction and efficient job performance After a rigorous process,
the'The Good Guys', as Winvan is known in the industry, realized their software
was not keeping up. As a result, they chose a software solution equipped with
the features and functionality best suited for a busy heavy highway contractor.
Winvan's Controller, Colin Siemens shared a few reasons why Vista™ by
Viewpoint was selected as his company's new software suite.
Chandos Construction, a progressive general contractor based in Edmonton, Alberta is known for its high quality and successful construction projects. Their leadership has put them on a high-growth path with current annual revenues of $250 million – an increase of more than 40% since 2005. With an exceptional customer focus, Chandos is ready to deploy where and when their customers need them across Canada.
Lehman Roberts Company, a Heavy Highway contractor based in
Memphis, TN since 1939 switched to Vista™ by Viewpoint in 2010 from
a legacy system that had been implemented in the 1980's. Focusing on
large, complex paving and road building projects, the need to upgrade to
an integrated, contemporary software solution was essential to stay on top
of the rapidly shifting and changing heavy highway business requirements.
As Lehman Roberts Company learned, implementing new software is only
half the battle. "Having worked on such an antiquated system for so long,
the computer proficiency here was reasonably behind," explained Lehman
Roberts Vice President, Patrick Nelson. "We naturally had some basic and
simple questions to get the team up to speed."
For 75 years Hoar Construction has
focused on doing the right thing the
right way, to live up to its tagline,
"Let's build something better."
That commitment has helped the
rapidly growing contractor, based
in Birmingham, Alabama, become
an ENR 400 firm, and led them
to search for an ERP solution that
would accommodate their needs
into the future as demands grew.
Hoar also desired a technology
partner that values innovation, listens to customers' interests and
concerns, and is fully dedicated to the construction industry.

Post-Workout Recovery For Long-Term Health
I was wondering what regular, post-workout recovery protocols you all recommend, specifically with the intent of maintaining long-term joint health. I'm open to pretty much any suggestions, whether it be icing, stretching, nutrition, supplementation, etc. As you might tell, I'm pretty new to this all and am having a hard time sorting through all the info available online.
To give you a bit of a background, I'm 30 yrs old and have been learning the Olympic lifts since this past summer. I go to Olift practice 2-3 days/week and throw in a metcon 1-2 days a week, depending on how hard/heavy I lift that week.
I've heard favorable reviews of ice baths and contrast showers. Unfortunately, my Olifting gym has no shower (we're a dirty bunch) and it can take up to 50 minutes to get home via subway.

Contrast showers (hot/cold) you can use any day, 3x a day....however it fits in. It's just another way to increase blood flow, increase nutrient delivery to muscles, increase waste removal from cells, and give a boost to the immune system. It doesn't have to be right after a workout to have long term health affects...I use a cold cycle everytime I shower.
As for pwo nutrition that can vary depending on your goals and training. Lots of different opinions...but I will say most probably favor a meal that has healthly protein and healthy carbs is always good. You can decide whether you want to start using protein shakes, amino acid supplements, creatine, etc....so many options, so little time. But you can never go wrong with a good healthy meal.

I'd go as far as say an "lifting" athlete needs a pre-workout meal. I'd lean towards a small amount of protein and fruit. Post-workout we've discussed ad nauseaum.
The above suggestions are good.
Consider the sauna. Here is an old article about using a sauna from the Regeneration Lab website, which is defunct. This article was written by Carl Valle.
Saunic Recovery
One of the time tested modalities for regeneration is the use of heat, specifically saunas and steam rooms. In Gladiator Regeneration I stressed the importanceof how history has discovered simple modalities that athletes can use without high costs. I wish to explore the use of heat in precise detail in order to effectively exploit the benefits of thermotherapy. Therapeutic heat is simple, effective, and most importantly very affordable if one has access to a health club.
Many athletes can benefit from this modality provided they understand some of the details of muscle metabolism, tendon anatomy, and inflammation. I have used therapeutic heat for years to both accelerate the recovery time of injury and maximize regeneration of training with great results. In order to fully utilize therapeutic heat, athletes and coaches need to follow the guidelines of the timing, treatment duration, and specific details of this modality. Therapeutic heat can not be tossed in after some specific training sessions such as heavy speedwork or during various injury periods. In this article we will go over all likely scenarios to ensure athletes know the exact protocol on therapeutic heat.
Perhaps the most basic protocol is heat thermotherapy. Sit down and drink mineral water and after 15 or so minutes and you are done. No special equipment, trained staff, or complicated procedure. Investing into adding heat and cold therapies to programs can reap serious gains to strength and power athletes in addition to the endurance crowd.
The Physiological Response to Heat
The primary goal of heat is to raise the core temperature of the body to increasemetabolism. Faster rates of metabolism speed up biochemical reactions and passively increase blood flow. Contracting muscle fibers can yield similar results but many times athletes lack the energy to do more work and at times are in states of severe muscle trauma. Doing even light exercise too early after intense training can retard regeneration from the fibers contracting too hard from locomotive actions involving one's bodyweight.
Heat, be it from passive thermotherapy or light tempo work can create havoc in the repair process if the negative responses of inflammation are accelerated to the point of slowing down the recovery process.
Heat Room Modalities
The main difference between saunas and steam rooms is of couse the relative humidity of the air. Saunas are dry heat and radiate heat while steam rooms use wet heat from pipes. While the responses to the modality are very similar, the effect can feel much different to athletes depending on their preference. Some athletes use dry heat from saunas religiously while others enjoy the humid environment.
Whirlpools, hot baths and other applications using water in liquid form with heat or cold are hydro-therapies, and receive their effects from the properties of water and it's ability to act as a carrier agent of therapeutic salts and minerals.
Application and Timing of the Protocols
The variables of heat room application are very direct and must be carefully reviewed before one starts using thermotherapy in the form of heat. The first and most important variable is when to apply heat to enhance recovery. Unlike cold, timing heat can decrease or delay the recovery time if done too early in the recovery process. Below are the primary factors athletes must be aware of before jumping into heat rooms.
Prior Stress Type - High intensity training that involves eccentric stress should not do any heat work because the inflammation process is very hard to anticipate how far it will go and it's effects are delayed. Aerobic and anaerobic work of moderate speeds pose little risk. Speed work and alactic work should not include heat post workout (same day) unless the athlete is in a restoration block of sub-maximal velocities. Experiments during the general and special preparation phase can serve as a diagnostic to how an athlete may respond.
Some athletes are very elastic and are able to do speed work without much soreness while others break down often. Trial and error during conservative training periods is suggested. Most athletes should not do heat after high intensity days and a 24-72 hour gap may be needed. Heat rooms can be used between high intensity days and be placed during recovery workouts to enhance the regeneration of muscle fiber and nervous system.
Composition of Soreness- They type of soreness will be a usefull indicator of when or if heat therapy can be used. If no swelling is present and the joints feel sore, such as the lower extremities, then heat may help break the pain/spasm cycle and help with management of connective tissue. Avascular tissue needs heat to maximize any local bloodflow and should be used if there is no DOMS. If DOMS is present then one should wait untill 2/3rds of the of soreness is gone before heat application. Reducing pain and increasing range of motion are two vital parts of the regeneration process. Attacking muscle extension and pain signals with thermotherapy works and can help reduce the use of unecessary medications.
Future Training Stress and Competition- Many times thermotherapy in the form of heat leaves athletes tired and flat. The tone of muscle can relax too far for speed requirements if the application is too soon before competition or the next training bout. Add in the variable of application length and the modality can cause the athlete to loose the alertness and sharpness required for speed and power sports. I suggest limiting the application length and place heat far from competition for athletes involved with speed requirements. Again, experimentation is suggested to fine tune administration. Also research has shown that heat may help elevate melatonin by rapid cooling of the core temperature to enhance sleep, so evening applications are recommended as
well. Cold showers can be used if the gap between multiple sessions is four hours or greater.
(Shaf's note: My last powerlifting meet was disasterous because of an inappropriate use of heat modalities. I peaked well, but my performance was completely messed up by an excessive use of the whirlpool in the hotel I was staying at the morning of the meet.)
Regeneration Lab Protocol: Below is the general outline of heat room
thermotherapy in the form of saunas and hot rooms:
Temperature:77-88° C
Application Time: 20-40 minutes based on training structure; evening
Contraindications: Inflammation and competitions/speed training.
In closing, heat rooms are often part of many health clubs and training facilities. One treatment or more a week is a frugal way to enhance training with minimal time investment. I suggest all athletes give heat room recovery methods a try and see what works.

Thanks for the clarification...I guess I missed that bit about contrast shower timing. Regarding meals, I agree with you 100% -- I try to eat as balanced as I can. No sense worrying about supplements if the basics aren't covered.
Thanks so much for digging up that article. That's some great info on application and timing. Prior to reading I never really put much thought to the relationship between high intensity activity, DOMS, and heat application.

I also like the foam roller/stretching right after a workout, reduces my soreness the next day.
The basics will get you 95% of your results....so definitely spend your time there mastering those. There are more threads on what kinds of pwo or pre workout meals on here if you search.

No problems with increased DOMS by using the foam post WO? I've been hesitant to try that.

"Pau ~ as in 'Go'" Top 5 Page for this destination Pau by aaaarrgh
The English middle classes have been coming here regularly since the early 1800's. The bracing climate from the nearby Pyrenees helped cure their pasty complexions. It certainly worked for moi ;-)
Pau was proud to have France's first openly gay mayor, who had a big impact on the city. Unfortunately he died in March 2006, after several decades in office.
- Pros:Busy city, pretty architecture, good shopping, brave politicians
- Cons:Maybe not everyone wants to find an 'English' city in France

Paradise, Kentucky
Paradise was a small town in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, United States. The town was located 10.5 miles east-north-east of Greenville and was formerly called Stom's Landing (sometimes incorrectly spelled Stum).[1][2] It was once a trading post along the Green River, but it no longer exists. It was torn down in 1967 by the Tennessee Valley Authority due to health concerns over its proximity to a nearby coal-burning electric plant, Paradise Fossil Plant.
Paradise was settled in the early nineteenth century when it was known as Stom's Landing, for Leonard Stom who founded the ferry there.[1][3] It may have once been named Monterey. The origin of its final name of Paradise is not known.[4] It is postulated the name was descriptive, for settlers who considered the setting to be paradise.[5] A post office was established at Paradise on March 1, 1852; it closed in 1967.[2][6]
In 1959, the TVA built a coal plant at the former site of Paradise.[7] The coal-fired plants remain controversial and the Paradise permits in particular, have been criticized by environmentalists for non-compliance with the Clean Air Act.[8] Since construction of new scrubbers on Unit 3 at Paradise, the plant's emissions from the massive unit have dropped dramatically in recent years; this in turn has led to a dramatic drop in toxic emissions from the plant overall.
John Prine[edit]
A song about Paradise, Kentucky, called "Paradise", was written and made famous by singer/songwriter John Prine. The lyrics attribute the destruction of Paradise to the Peabody company, and allude to the fact that the town was a site for strip mining. In reality, the town remained in partial form after the Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Company stripped the coal around it. The Paradise Fossil Plant was initially erected with only two units; afterwards, the residents who were left in the village were bought out by the Tennessee Valley Authority after ash fall from the newly opened plant brought health concerns to the area. Soon after the TVA bought the town out, they tore down all the structures and constructed the largest cyclonic fired boiler in the world at the new "Paradise Unit 3". All that remains of the original town is a small cemetery at the top of a hill close to the plant. The town was not abandoned by any flooding of the Green River. Even though the town did endure numerous floods during its lifespan, it survived all the floods of its history.
John Denver recorded the song, and released it on his album, Rocky Mountain High.
Tom T. Hall recorded the song, and released it on his album, The Magnificent Music Machine in 1976[9]
Dwight Yoakam also recorded the song in two versions, released on his album, Dwight's Used Records.
The Country Gentlemen included a version of this song on their 1973 album "The Country Gentlemen".
Lynn Anderson included a version of this song on her album All the King's Horses.

The flagship handset for Google Android 2.3 'Gingerbread', Google's Nexus S is largely similar to the Samsung Galaxy S on which it's based. Its 16GB memory can't be expanded, however.
A subtly curved screen allows the speaker to lean in towards your ear, aiding call clarity. We didn't notice a difference in volume, but the Google Nexus S handset doesn't feel as brick-like as some of the others in our most recent smartphone group test. The curved screen makes for a slightly odd setup when viewing video on the 480x800-pixel screen, however.
The Google Nexus S's super-bright AmoLED screen all but screams its presence. We'd prefer the handset to be made of something more substantial than plastic, but the upside is the Nexus weighs a scant 129g.
Another feature that marks out the Nexus S and Gingerbread OS is its support for near-field communications (NFC). In its infancy in Europe, it's an established technology in the Far East and Google expects it to become a de facto contactless payment method.
The Google Nexus S is a lot of fun to use, with interactive wallpapers and the slick scrolling and navigation you'd expect from a smartphone powered by a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird single-core processor.
Four neat hardware buttons at the bottom of the display take you to the Home screen and allow you to search or bring up settings, but you'll find yourself enamoured of the 3D scrolling effect of the main display and happily trawling through its endless menus.
Used with the iPlayer app, the Google Nexus S' bright screen and Flash support make a compelling case for watching video on a smartphone.
We had the odd issue when using the onscreen keyboard to compose email messages - the screen was marginally miscalibrated - but, in general, we found this an intuitive device to use. Copy and paste and above average battery life of more than two days in standby (provided that you remember to turn off the most power-hungry apps) mark out the Nexus S as a superior device.
We found scrolling around Google Maps and using the web browser, complete with multi-pane support, a rewarding experience. That huge, crisp display and ability to reflow text and to zoom in a little or a lot are real selling points. The 5Mp camera is also above par.

Group test: what's the best smartphone?
The first phone to ship with Google Android 2.3 as well as the follow-up to last January's Nexus One, the Samsung Nexus S is a joint effort between Samsung and Google with some impressive features. The following is our original review from Dec 2010, by Ginny Mies of PC World US
The first phone to ship with Google Android 2.3 (also known as "Gingerbread") as well as the follow-up to last January's Google Nexus One, the Samsung Nexus S (available unlocked for £550 or free with a £35-per-month contract from Carphone Warehouse) is a joint effort between Samsung and Google with some impressive features. Indeed, you are likely to find it branded as the 'Google Nexus S'.
The Samsung or Google Nexus S's hardware is gorgeous, and Google Android 2.3 delivers some useful enhancements; but with no support for HSPA+ or expandable memory, the Nexus S falls short of its potential.
Google Nexus S: Hardware and design
The Samsung or Google Nexus S isn't exactly leaps and bounds ahead of the Nexus One in its hardware. Like the Nexus One, it has a 5Mp camera and is powered by a 1GHz processor. It has a few key differences, however. For one, the Nexus S has an NFC chip built into it. Essentially, NFC chips can turn your phone into a sort of credit card. Ideally, when you wave your phone in front of a retailer's sensor, your purchase will immediately be placed on your account. For a detailed explanation of all that NFC can do, check out this primer.
The Google Nexus S's design unquestionably bears the Samsung aesthetic as much as the Nexus One does HTC's. That is both good and bad. In appearance, I think the glossy, all-black Nexus S is a lot more attractive than the Nexus One. In construction, it feels a lot flimsier and more plasticky than its HTC counterpart. Measuring 124x64x11mm, the phone is a bit larger than the Nexus One. Weighing 128g, the Samsung Nexus S is lighter than its sibling.
Like the Samsung Galaxy phones, the Google Nexus S sports a 4in Super AMOLED display. The display is also curved (what Google and Samsung are calling a "Contour Display") so as to fit more comfortably next to your face. The curve is subtle, however.
Google Nexus S: Android 2.3 OS, aka 'Gingerbread'
You can find in a separate article an extensive discussion of Gingerbread's new features and updates. While the update isn't a huge overhaul of the user interface, it has some very useful enhancements. Some of the most notable features include the improved software keyboard (though I still prefer Swype), NFC support, support for multiple cameras in the camera UI, and an overall boost in performance. Some subtle tweaks throughout the interface make Android look more polished. More blacks in the menus make icons pop, and animations make the UI more approachable and playful.
Google Nexus S: Google Apps and Multimedia
I like my phones to be like my PCs: clean and free of bloatware. Fortunately, the Samsung Nexus S is pretty sparse. You get a pack of Google apps such as Latitude, YouTube, Gmail, Places, Google Maps with Navigation, Search (with voice), Car Home, Google Talk, and Google Voice.
The music player remains the same as the one in Froyo - boring but easy enough to use. Videos downloaded to the phone played back smoothly and looked great on the Super AMOLED display. One of the nice things about Super AMOLED is that it remains pretty visible in bright, outdoor sunlight. If you like catching up on TV shows during your lunch break, this is a useful quality in a phone.

Google Nexus S: Camera
The Samsung Nexus S has a 5Mp camera with a flash and the same resolution as the rest of the Galaxy S pack. As I've mentioned in other Galaxy reviews, the camera quality is good, but not superb. (I'm not going to lie: I was keeping my fingers crossed for an 8Mp lens.)
The Samsung Nexus One also had a good, but not mind-blowing camera. Colours in indoor shots looked a bit faded, and generally, photos were slightly grainy. My outdoor shots looked drab, but I'm not sure that's really the fault of the camera - it's been a miserable, dark day in San Francisco today. One feature Samsung and Google overlooked is a dedicated shutter key on the phone's spine. It is a small detail, but it really makes a difference when snapping photos.
The camera's user interface has a nice variety of settings that you can tweak to your liking. It has autofocus, macro and infinity modes, four resolutions to choose from, nine scene settings, three color modes, three quality modes, and exposure metering. Overall, the camera app is simple and straightforward, and I really hope that manufacturers don't try to replace it with their own custom apps on future phones.
The Samsung Nexus S sports a front-facing VGA camera for making video calls or taking self-portraits. As mentioned above, Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread's camera interface adds support for multiple cameras.
You can shoot video as high as 720x480 pixels at 30 frames per second. A video I shot outdoors looked pretty good, if a bit jittery when a fast-moving object went by. Colours were accurate, and details appeared fairly sharp. Take a look at our sample video.
Google Nexus S: Memory/performance
If you plan on taking a lot of photos or videos, be warned: the Samsung Nexus S does not have a microSD slot. The device has 512MB of RAM and is capped at 16GB of internal memory. And unlike the Apple iPhone, there's no 32GB model available.
Powered by Samsung's 1GHz Hummingbird processor, the Samsung Nexus S is quite speedy. Scrolling through web pages was fluid, applications opened quickly, and navigating around the menus was smooth and fluid.
Call quality (using the T-Mobile network in the US) was very good. Calls sounded crisp and natural with an ample amount of volume and no static. Callers on the other end of the line were also impressed with the little to no background noise during my calls - even when I was calling on a busy street corner.

We can see why Google chose the Samsung handset design to show off its Gingerbread 2.3 OS – unlike the many HTC and LG devices, it's distinctive. Judged against the stunning Desire HD, however, the Google Nexus S is unable to convince us of its supremacy.

It was nice to have a place to cook our own food. However, previous guests hadn't done the best job of getting all the food off the dishes, so we had to wash some things before use, but not too big of a deal. The staff were really helpful. And it was really nice to have on site laundry facilities.

Minn. Supreme Court's U.S. Senate ruling likely to arrive today
Politics in Minnesota reported late yesterday that the Minnesota Supreme Court is likely to rule on Norm Coleman's appeal for the state's U.S. Senate seat by the end of the business day.
PIM says they have heard from two sources "on different sides of the Minnesota U.S. Senate race recount scene" that the ruling should come by 4:30 p.m. today. MinnPost has a conflicting report.
More from PIM:
PIM was the first to note this as a "rumor/scoop" late yesterday via Twitter. At this point we now believe it is "highly likely" to happen; in fact, based on our sources we'd be surprised if it doesn't. While earlier estimates of 30 days of deliberation got floated, we also heard from someone close to the justices that they would like to move things along quickly, so it's more plausible that things are getting tied up today.
The end of this race could be in sight today, but both candidates have the option to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court based on the ruling. It is likely the winner of this ruling will receive an election certificate to begin serving in the Senate as the fight continues.
MinnPost is reporting that their sources with one campaign had not heard of a ruling coming today.

Lake home owners disturb ski racing fun
by Mark Rothfield on 26 Oct 2012
Noise may annoy, but waterski racing is a sight to behold for thousands of spectators Mark Rothfield
When does an editorial become an idiot-orial? When you wake on the Monday morning after a sensational waterski event to see a headline in the local rag: 'Lake racers disturb Sunday peace'.
For those among you who think water-ski race boats are too loud, let me suggest you leave now for www.basketweaving.com because I'm about to be a little disparaging.
To set the scene, Ski Racing NSW held a grand prix event on Lake Macquarie NSW – not to be confused with Port Macquarie, where even more retirees live. The circuit was in the vicinity of some silver-spooned waterfront suburbs that are otherwise comatose on the average Sunday.
Roads and Maritime Services approved an aquatic licence for the area from 8.30am to noon but promptly forgot to promote it, as did the organisers.
Ski Racing NSW spokesman Ken Cheetham said the boats were within a noise limit of 95 decibels by law, but very soon those princesses in their waterfront castles began whining about disturbance of the peace.
A city councillor in one of those castles bemoaned the fact they raced in an amphitheatre 'straight underneath 10,000 to 20,000 people's homes''.
A letter writer to the paper wrote: 'I could hear the awful noise from further down the lake but didn't know what it was. Later, however, I saw some of these testosterone fueled morons returning home on the freeway. This isn't the type of activity we need in or on Lake.'
Here's what I think … If people in waterfront homes don't like noises emanating from the waterfront,
Move to the country
! Better still, another country.
Organisers say the event brought tourism dollars and entertainment to the lake. With 21 boats each bringing a minimum of six people to the area, they're right.
Certainly it was the first powerboat event to be held on the waterway for an eternity, with the Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto's attempt at powerboats sports having long been extinguished.
As Ken Cheetham pointed out: ''Many people were looking from the shore at the spectacle of the brilliant boats. It is an extreme sport and it's something people want to watch.''
That's true.
Mr. Cheetham said his organisation was planning to hold more events on the lake, possibly at Toronto. As a member of the silent and less-privileged majority I would welcome them with open arms.
With some advance warning I'll organise a brass band as well.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

I had a lightbulb moment last week where I realized I cannot do everything (including, this post seems to indicate, take a non-blurry photo of a roasted vegetable dinner). I was sitting in the dining room when it happened: Like most workdays, I had my laptop open before me, streaming sunlight to my right, and, just then, I saw the neighbor working in her yard and thought how I'd like to go say hi---right as my inbox pulled in two new emails, my phone rang, I noticed dust collecting on the floorboards and my open Word document reminded me of how much left on this project there was yet to do. In that moment---that split-second moment---where so many of my honest desires, from keeping a clean house to being a productive freelancer, collided, this single thought, clear as day, hit my heart: I am just a person and I cannot do everything. Thing is, saying there are things I cannot do is humbling. In fact, I'm not sure I want to admit it to you. When you ask me to take on a project, I want … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers
Like businesses, music, vacations and books, most meals begin as ideas---but as ideas that come more quickly down the mental conveyor belt than sonatas or summer getaway plans. A conversation at the office jogs a memory of Grandma's butter cookies, and the kitchen finds you rolling dough; a blog post inspires dessert and you're beelining for the pantry; or, unexpectedly on a weekday afternoon, a hunt through the refrigerator, opening drawers and crispers, fills your hands with bright red peppers and cauliflower and recalls a possibility you'd almost forgotten---and then, that quick, momentary thought, incubated right away in discussion and action, becomes a recipe you test twice in one week with your husband, the two of you lost together in discovery, in watching the abstract become something you hold in your hands and eat. … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Fried Rice
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you sow." Robert Louis Stevenson I hate to admit this but: I think the flowers on our front porch are dying. I know. I bought them back in March, for $7, on a hot and windy day where I had to hold my skirt down just to keep it from blowing, and I repotted them next to our welcome mat, in a place where you could see them from the road, hoping their bright pink buds would add just a tiny bit of color to the green landscape that surrounds our little house. Since then, there's been watering, sometimes, like when I've looked at them out our dining room window and realized it's been at least a few days of forgetting. But there's also been heat, lots of it, enough to make the edges of the flowers brown---just at the tips---prompting me to water them again, until I'd forget again; now, they're dry and crisp-looking. I'm a terrible gardener. And not just of flowers. In an email the other day, my friend Kendra … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
"When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen in her face." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Today is Tim's birthday, the first one since we've been married. And over the last few weeks, as I've been thinking about its coming up, reflecting on what our life together is like now, about how this birthday would be different from all his previous birthdays, sandwiched between our daily rhthyms of working from home and sleeping side by side and sharing breakfasts, lunches, dinners, I've been wanting so much to explain to you, somehow here on this blog, exactly what my face would show if you could see it: I have a good husband. I told Tim early when we were dating, I had a little bit of a fear of marriage growing up, a fact I know some people can't understand and others get all too well. The best I can explain it, I think, is that when you've been exposed to bad marriages, or to their problems, when you're young enough, you don't know how to take it. And for me, I took it … [Read more...]
always, with lemon (roasted cauliflower)
While it's true I'm easily persuaded about most things, whether it's trying cookies without flour, taking trips to new places or realizing I'd been wrong all along about that crazy thing called meatloaf, you could still say there are a few fixed aspects of my nature, ones I don't expect I'll ever shake. It's hard to imagine a me that didn't love the sky, for example, who didn't stare at the clouds or gasp at a golden sunset. Would I still be myself if I didn't notice the seasons change? I love the way my dad chuckles when he knows he's wrong, the way my mom only shows her full grin when she's laughing hard, how my younger brother is a better driver, planner and cook than I am. And really, I'll always move towards relationships without pretense. That's just who I am. Since they say a person is defined by what she really loves, you might as well also know, in that case, that I like fall leaves and fresh fruit and people who sacrifice without expecting anything in return. I … [Read more...]

NEW YORK Three new envelopes containing suspicious white powder were sent to New York City banks and news organizations on Tuesday, along with notes suggesting the sender sympathizes with the Occupy Wall Street's Day of May 1 protests, police said.
A total of ten letter-sized envelopes were sent over the last two days, and at least some contained an identical note saying "This is a reminder that you are not in control" and "Happy May Day," police spokesman Paul Browne said.
In all ten cases, the substance turned out to be non toxic and in several cases the powder was identified as corn starch, Browne said.
The letters appeared intended to coordinate with a planned day of May 1 protests organized by the Occupy Wall Street movement and labor groups across the country.
"The messages indicated a link to today's May Day demonstrations," Browne said.
Five envelopes were sent to Wells Fargo, while one was sent to J.P. Morgan, and another to Citicorp. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp was also targeted, with one envelope addressed to the Wall Street Journal, police said.
Earlier, police had said a second envelope "possibly" had been sent to Fox News, also owned by News Corp and with offices in the same building as the Journal. But a Fox spokeswoman said later there was no envelope addressed to Fox.
Another letter, addressed to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was processed at city offices at 100 Gold Street, and not at City Hall, police said.
Ed Needham, a member of Occupy Wall Street's New York media team, said late on Monday he had found no connection between the envelopes and his movement. "It doesn't sound like something that we would do," he said.
Since it was launched eight months ago, Occupy Wall Street has targeted U.S. financial policies it blames for the yawning income gap between rich and poor - between what they called the 1 percent of wealthiest Americans and the other 99 percent.

Carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for the muscles and the brain. For the best, quickest sources of energy, Goglia tells WebMD, choose single-ingredient carbohydrates such as vegetables, fruits, or oatmeal over multi-ingredient items like breads or muffins. Simple carbohydrates, like fruit, are a quicker energy source than complex carbohydrates like a yam, but both are better choices than a blueberry muffin.
Fats provide the body with a slower release of energy than carbohydrates because it has a higher caloric content. Protein mainly works to build and repair muscles and is only used as energy if inadequate carbohydrates are available.
"Proteins do not give you energy," says Goglia, "proteins repair muscle tissue. Carbs move the muscles."
Before a run, then, says Goglia, "have a piece of fruit and peanut butter or oatmeal. Eat whole foods and let your body digest them. That's what it wants to do.
"Then, while running, if you feel as though you've depleted your carbohydrates, then use a supplement."
If you're a body builder, or a training athlete, says Goglia, and you're using a supplement as an aid to your balanced diet for convenience, that's OK, he says.
"But absolutely don't depend on those things within any given regular civilian day."
Besides replacing depleted carbohydrates or balancing the diet with a vitamin and mineral fortified bar, a sports drink or gel might be a good choice when an athlete cannot digest whole foods, says Cooper, right before or during performance.
Stout works with athletes, strategizing what they eat before and after exercise in order to maximize training. One hour before exercise, says Stout, "a bagel is just as effective as anything on the market. It's a complex carb, so it breaks down, but not as fast."
Not all carbohydrates are created equal, however. Some enter the bloodstream more quickly than others and they are considered to have a high glycemic index. Baked potatoes and raisins are examples. These are best eaten right before, during or right after exercise, whereas moderate (orange juice or a sweet potato) and low (apple or pear) glycemic index carbohydrates enter the bloodstream more slowly and are best consumed in the hours before a workout.

My daughter is 3 months old (yesterday). She is an amazing baby. She almost never cries and when she does its usually because i havnt fed her or changed her quick enough. But for the last 4 days she has been fussy (from just whining to blood curdling screams) all day long! She isn't sleeping for naps, she is barely eating, she is drooling buckets, she has a small fever, her hands don't come out of her mouth because she is constantly chewing on them unless its to rub her eyes, which she does alot too. I rub my finger along her gums which sometimes calms her down, but everything else I've tried doesn't seem to work. Including cold damp regs, teething rings and Tylonal. I took her to the ped. today and she said she looked great, that she might be colicy. I'm kinda pissed, because I know my baby, and she is never like this, and for it to suddenly start gives me the thought that she is either sick or teething. But ped. says she's too young. I just want some advice/ help. Am I crazy to think she is teething this early? If she is, is there I sign that will let me know for sure? How do I help my poor baby get through this? Please help?!?!?!

My don is the same way. He was an angel until the day he turned 3 months (mothers day) and since then has been so much more fussy, screaming randomly which never ever did, drooling, and chewing his hand and his bibs. My moms boss is a dentist and she said it is def possible to teeth this early. (my ped said not yet) I ordered a Baltic amber necklace for him, i hope it helps. Careful with orajel, it is really harmful for babies and adults. I'm hoping my little is himself soon I miss his constant smiles.

Open source has proven tremendously successful in producing innovation, collaboration and standards-based interoperable solutions. As a result open source is playing an increasingly important part of business and technology strategies. This paper discusses benefits and opportunities that open source brings to commercial telecommunications service layer development and the application ecosystem. We discuss how open source can be leveraged for different purposes and in different ways: as a complement to standardization, as a way to drive and leverage innovative ecosystems, to enable increased efficiency in commercial R&D, and not the least how it opens up opportunities for increased and improved R&D collaboration between vendors and technology customers. However, we will also touch on the other side of the balance: what happens when this approach meets the classical development project ways of working. We conclude with a case study of a development project of a commercial IMS/IN application and service creation platform that was done based on and in partnership with an open source development project.

Publication of new book Stories of the South: Race and the Reconstruction of Southern Identity, 1865-1915 by Stephen Prince
The book offers a reconceptualization of the period between the end of the Civil War and the rise of Jim Crow segregation, centered on the changing visions of the South at play in U.S. culture. Examining novels, minstrel songs, travel brochures, illustrations, oratory, and other cultural artifacts produced in the half century following the Civil War, Steve demonstrates the centrality of popular culture to the reconstruction of southern identity, shedding new light on the complicity of the North in the retreat from the possibility of racial democracy.Click here to view on amazon

Exercise in Your Room continued...
Strength training . When you can't get to the gym and don't have exercise tubes, do exercises that use your own body for resistance. And to save time, do multimuscle exercises, such as push-ups, which exercise your chest, triceps, and shoulders. A minimal workout would include:
- Push-ups
- Stomach crunches with an upper-body twist
- Kneeling back leg extensions
- One-legged lunges
Do one to three sets of each exercise, resting for 30-90 seconds between sets. Normally, eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise should work muscles to the point of fatigue, Schlosberg says, but without equipment it's difficult to adjust resistance. So a beginner's limit might be four reps for some exercises, while an experienced exerciser might need to do 20.
Cool down. Don't stop exercising abruptly. Keep moving at an easy pace for five minutes to bring your heart rate down.
Stretching . Stretching should be done after your muscles are warm. Do stretches that target your neck, shoulders, triceps, chest, upper back, hamstrings, hips, and calves. Stretch to the point of mild tension, not pain, and hold for 10-15 seconds.
How often should you do the workout? It's best to keep up your normal routine, but if that's not possible, do what you can.
"Even getting in one strength workout and two or three cardio workouts a week can make a big difference," says Schlosberg. "You'll be able to preserve most, if not all, of your fitness, and you'll have more energy for your travels. The key is to maintain your usual intensity level."
Overcome Obstacles, 10 Minutes at a Time
But what about your motivation, which seems to have been misplaced along with your luggage?
Time, stress, and fatigue are the main obstacles to exercising, says Kara I. Gallagher, PhD, assistant professor of exercise physiology at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.
"If you think you have time constraints, it can get bigger and bigger, and there's no amount of motivation to overcome that," says Gallagher, who is also a spokeswoman for the American College of Sports Medicine.
The best strategy, she says, is to stop telling yourself that you must devote an hour to exercise -- "break it up into 10-minute intervals" -- or that you must maintain the same routine you do at home.

A background I made for myself as desktop. It should be an alien planet with blue sun and electric blue water. If you like it you can use it, if not please ignore it. The real location is Echerntal in Austria.

Wow! Great location - great shot!

Desktop it is. Thanks.
Gorgeous! I love all the hidden creatures within the rock
beautiful shot!
My geology senses were kicking in but then I read it and saw that it was a alien planet! But amazing background, how on earth did you do it?
Well, the scenery is real, only the colours are edited by HDR processing. It is Dolomite and Limestone rock, the waters are of karstic origin.
I love your work!!!
What a beautiful background. <3 I can see myself using this somewhere in the near future.
Great, great work Bernhard!!!
Holy shit this is epic. (Pardon my French)
now smack a castle in there and BOOM... amazingness
wow this looks so breath-taking,amazing as always
Thats really cool! ^^
DAMN dude! that doesn't even look real!
So beautiful
Looks like something out of Doctor Who! Amazing as always!
You watch doctor who? So do I!
Only always! Doesn't it look like the pocket universe in Hide, just without all the mist?
Is there anybody who doesn't?
