BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) - Our 9 Wants to Know Report exposing Pepco and BGE billing you for
their outages - and the subsequent anger - could prevent it from ever
happening again if a state lawmaker has his way.
Maryland customers still don't know how much they'll be billed for first
those 24 hours BGE and Pepco lost revenue - but estimates vary from
around nickels to dimes to under a dollar.
For many, it's being perceived as unfair nickel and diming and Maryland
State Senator Brian Frosh (D-Montgomery Co.) wants to outlaw it with
20123 legislation in Annapolis.
Near Frosh's office in downtown Bethesda people on the streets are still
angry about the outage - and although our report went viral online
about Maryland Pepco and BGE customers being billed for 24 hours of lost
storm income - many are just now learning it.
Click here to see our original story:
Frosh says consumer reaction like Hodge's, sparked by our story, could change the law.
"People were in the dark," Frosh said. "Your story lit the light bulb."
He says if constituent are calling other lawmakers like they're calling
him, the reaction could influence the Maryland Statehouse to take
"The light bulb went on and people said, oh my God, I'm paying these
boobs not giving me electrical service," said the Montgomery County
senator said.
"Don't like it," said Pepco customer Dennise Orlando while walking on
Wisconsin Avenue. "Why should you pay for something when you don't have
Frosh says, even though customers are only paying for the first 24 hours
of lost revenues, and it could be less than a dollar a customer, he
believes utilities shouldn't be allowed to charge anything when they
can't deliver power.
"It's only 50 cents to you, but what are there, 500,000 Pepco customers,
a million Pepco customers," Frosh estimated. "You're talking real
Just last year at the Maryland Statehouse, Frosh introduced an amendment
outlawing outage bills altogether, but it failed on a tie vote.
A BGE spokesman said the revenues are not profit and are used to invest in services and equipment.
A Pepco spokesman declined to comment saying the utility had not seen the proposal.

Southern Pacific dry forests
Sierra Madre del Sur dry forests (lower right of image) viewed from satellite. Source: NASA
The Southern Pacific dry forests ecoregion is situated along the southeastern versant of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains including the Pacific Ocean coastal plain. These forests are a key locus of endemism for butterflies, and has the greatest diversity of scorpions and spiders in the entirety of Mexico. This ecoregion is classified in the Tropical and Subtropical Dry Broadleaf Forests biome. The Southern Pacific dry forests exhibit a moderate to high faunal species richness; for example, there are a total of 744 vertebrate taxa recorded in the ecoregion, with a particularly large number of endemic reptiles.
However, little of the original habitat is extant, since agriculture development for fruit and coffee plantations has occurred on a broad scale. Also, overgrazing by sheep has severely degraded vegetation and produced widespread soil erosion.
Location and general depiction
The Southern Pacific dry forests ecoregion is positioned on the southeastern slopes of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains, which yield to a narrow fringe of coastal plains on which the dry forests of this ecoregion are found. The elevation ranges from sea level to 1400 metres (m). The climate is tropical and dry, with precipitation levels of 800 millimetres (mm) per annum. There is an extended arid season, which factor drives the prevalence of deciduous vegetation. The forests grow chiefly on shallow, well-drained soils derived from limestone. Closer to the base of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains, the soils are more rocky, and are derived of igneous rocks.

The dominant plant species include Mauto (Lysiloma divaricatum), Bursera excelsa and Fragrant Bursera (B. fagaroides), which are typically found in association with Pochote (Ceiba aesculifolia), Comocladia engleriana, and Trichilia americana. In the Mexican state of Michoacán, the macro plant species more generally in evidence are Ficus insipida, F. pertusa, Breadnut (Brosimum alicastrum), Licania arborea, Sideroxylon capiri and Elephant Ear (Enterolobium cyclocarpum).. In the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca, the composition of the forests transforms and the more abundant species are Brosimum alicastrum, Sideroxylon persimile, Godmania aesculifolia, Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota), Pterocarpus acapulcensis, Licania arborea, Purple Tabebuia (Tabebuia impetiginosa), Bombax palmeri, Shaving-brush Tree (B. ellipticum) and Templetree (Plumeria rubra). Herbaceous taxa and epiphytes are rather scarce. In the area of the border between the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, the climate is tropical subhumid (the precipitation is 1040 to 1600 mm/yr) and is dominated by Mexican Alvaradoa (Alvaradoa amorphoides), Cacho de Toro (Bucida macrostachya), Mexican Logwood (Haematoxylum brasiletto), False Chiggergrape (Coccoloba venosa), Gumbo Limbo (Bursera simaruba), Copalillo (B. bipinnata) and Ironwood (Prosopis juliflora).
Biodiversity characteristics
The dry forests of southern Pacific Mexico consist of a narrow belt of vegetation along the Pacific Ocean coastal plain, manifesting a unique assemblage of species, including many endemics. The genera Acacia, Ipomoea and Euphorbia have more endemic species in these forests than anywhere else in Mexico. A high number of endemic plants are found in the portions of this ecoregion which occur in Oaxaca. There are numerous special status organisms found in the Southern Pacific dry forests ecoregion, denoted variously as Near Threatened (NT), Vulnerable (VU), Endangered (EN), or Critically Endangered (CR).
Butterflies of the Papilionidae family also have an important center of endemism in this region, with eleven endemic species. This region also has the greatest diversity of scorpions in Mexico, including the large Centaurea centauroides. 311 spider taxa have been recorded in the ecoregion, constituting the richest site in Mexico. The region the second for endemic reptiles, after the trans-volcanic belt region. It is also one of the few parts of Mexico where one observes the Mexican Beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum), a highly venomous reptile.
There are a number of anuran species present in the ecoregion, including: Blunt-toed Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus modestus VU); Cloud Forest Stream Frog (Ptychohyla euthysanota NT), found from southeast Oaxaca to Guatemala and eastern El Salvador; Matuda's Spikethumb Frog (Plectrohyla matudai VU). A special status caecilian found in the ecoregion is the Mexican Caecilian (Dermophis mexicanus VU), a fossorial species that can attain lengths up to sixty centimetres. A special status salamander found in the ecoregion is the Sierra Juarez Salamander (Pseudoeurycea juarezi CR), a near-endemic known only between Cerro Pelón and Vista Hermosa in the Sierra de Juarez, north-central Oaxaca. The White-lipped Peeping Frog (Eleutherodactylus albolabris CR), a near-endemic known chiefly from Agua del Obispo, central Guerrero.
Black Iguana. Source: B.J.Stacey/EoL The Southern Pacific dry forests contain numerous reptilian taxa, including the following endemics: Bocourt's Anole (Norops baccatus); Taylor's Anole (Norops taylori), known only to Puerto Marquez area, in northern Acapulco, Guerrero; Simmons' Anole (Anolis simmonsi), restricted to the vicinity of Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca; Stegneger's Blackcollar Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus stejnegeri), restricted to the Pacific versant in the state of Guerrero, Mexico; Red Earth Snake (Geophis russatus), found in a very narrow range outside of Putla, Oaxaca; Sierra Mije Earth Snake (Geophis anocularis), known only from around Totontepec on the Atlantic versant of the Sierra Mixe, Oaxaca; Ramirez`s Hooknose Snake (Ficimia ramirezi), restricted to the Pacific versant of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Niltepec, Oaxaca; Halberg's Cloud Forest Snake (Cryophis hallbergi), found only in northern Oaxaca, at Sierra de Juarez and Sierra Mazateca; Isthmian Earth Snake (Geophis isthmicus), known only from the vicinity of Tehuantepec, Mexico; Macdougall's Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus macdougalli), found only in Oaxaca within the ecoregion; Macdougall's Tropical Night Lizard (Lepidophyma dontomasi), known solely from the type locality on Cerro Lachiguiri, Oaxaca; Macrinius' Anole (Norops macrinii), known solely from the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur near Pochutla, Oaxaca; Bogert's Arboreal Alligator Lizard (Abronia bogerti), known only from north of Niltepec, between Cerro Atravesado and Sierra Madre, Oaxaca; Tehuantepec Anole (Norops isthmicus), restricted to foothills northwest of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca. Other reptiles found in the ecoregion include: Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) and Black Iguana (Ctenosaura similis).
Characteristic mammalian fauna includes the endemic Oaxacan Pocket Gopher (Orthogeomys cuniculus), restricted to several sites on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca. Other mammals seen in the ecoregion include the: Lesser Long-nosed Bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae VU), Tropical Hare (Lepus flavigularis EN), restricted to Salina Cruz, Oaxaca to the extreme west of Chiapas; Greater Bulldog Bat (Noctilio leporinus), Coati (Nasua narica), Buller's Pocket Gopher (Pappogeomys bulleri), Javelina (Tayassu tajacu), and Mexican Long-tongued Bat (Choeronycteris mexicana NT).
A gamut of avian taxa are found in the Southern Pacific dry forests, including: Red-crowned Ant Tanager (Habia rubica), Elegant Quail (Callipepla douglasii), Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi NT).
Ecological status
For several hundred years, the deciduous forests of the Mexican Pacific have been severely exploited and disturbed by man, commencing at least as early as the arrival of Spaniards. Agricultural expansion, primarily for fruit and coffee plantations have replaced vast expanses of forest. This impacts native biodiversity, directly through habitat destruction, and indirectly through erosion and soil loss.
Ecological threat profile
Sheep farming is a major threat to the ecoregion. Furthermore, tourism is increasing in the coastal zone of the ecoregion, leading to considerable land development pressure. The only remaining intact dry forest occurs along the coastal plain of the state of Michoacán, an area of rather difficult human access. Illegal hunting is a further threat, and has severely reduced the populations of green iguana (Iguana iguana) and black iguana (Ctenosaura similis). Despite the biological importance of this region and the present threats that it faces, only two protected areas have been established, one along the coast of the state of Oaxaca and the other in Guerrero. Another eight areas have been proposed for protection. Recently, a number of terrestrial priority areas were nominated, a number of which overlap with this ecoregion, including Sierra Sur y Costa de Oaxaca, El Triunfo-La Encrucijada-Palo Blanco, and Bajo Rio Verde-Chacahua. Several Important Bird Areas have also been identified here, including Sierra Norte, Sireea de Miahuatlan, and La Sepultura.
Justification of ecoregion delineation
The dry forests of this ecoregion flank the southern valleys and foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur, across much of the southern Pacific versant of Mexico. Initial linework follows the current landcover classifications of Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática (INEGI). From this map the following classifications are lumped: "subevergreen lowland forest", "subevergreen middle elevation forest", "evergreen lowland forest", "evergreen middle elevation forest", patches of savanna, and all subsequent agricultural activity. Later modification has occurred from expert opinions, following suggestions from Rzedowski at a regional ecoregion delineation workshop.

Irrigation farming has been touted as one of the basic ingredients to improved agriculture in the country.
The country has learnt from painful experience that irrigation pays higher dividends compared to the traditional approach of relying on rains, which are themselves becoming more unreliable due to the sweeping climate change as man tampers more and more with the ecosystem.
While irrigation farming is not new in the country, having been in practice for a long time, using traditional methods of digging canals to get water to farms, it is sad that the system and its infrastructure has in some places been left to die.
There is a widespread cry of shortage of water in various places, but it is also true that the reduced amounts of water can still deliver a lot through use of such efficient methods as drip irrigation.
Yet there is a possibility according to experts to revive the infrastructure, modify it to fit a more efficient distribution for greater benefit to the people.
While for example in Kilimanjaro, a single needs to use a lot of water for a number of hours to irrigate an acre or two of a banana farm, introducing drip irrigation could ensure that more people access the water simultenously without infringing each others' rights, which sometimes leads to fights.
The challenge here then is for the experts to seriously find a way of implementing such technological measures to maximize benefits from the scarce resource, while also conserving it.
Much more needs to be done in especially reviving and protecting the water sources, many of which have been destroyed through indiscriminate tree felling.
Experts revisiting the issue have touched on an equally important aspect that today's irrigation schemes must consider when embarking on implementation.
It is about management of water, which under the changing conditions is becoming a diminishing resource.
Diascussing agriculture water solutions project commonly known as Ag-Water Solution in Morogoro, over the weekend, the experts said water lifting technologies, water reservoirs, drip irrigation, ground water use, rainwater harvesting and on farm water storage were a must have for a progressive agricultural sector.
They pointed to the need for water management in catchments areas which were practised in the past, but were being gradually ignored to the detriment of the communities' needs.
They are calling for investment in the management of water sources without which, they point out other projects would 'never have seen the light of the day'.
There is also the understanding that without investments; without empowering the smallholder farmers to acquire the technologies that efficiently use water, it will be a dream to expect irrigation farming to catch on.
Indeed the Director of Agriculture mechanisation in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Engineer Richard Shetto stressed the same, when he told the experts: "We have to increase the number of irrigation professionals and raise the capacity of small farmers to invest in the necessary infrastructure for their irrigation systems…"
We believe that if this is consistently implemented, it could deliver a huge difference in farm output and raise the living standards of the small farmers in the country.

Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
this wiki
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja (NARUTO THE MOVIE -ROAD TO NINJA-, Naruto Za Mūbī -Rōdo Tu Ninja-) is the ninth overall Naruto film and sixth Naruto: Shippūden film which was released on July 28, 2012 in Japanese theaters. The movie grossed 1.46 billion yen and will be released to DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on April 24, 2013.
Plot Overview
Sixteen years ago, a gigantic demon beast known as the Nine-Tails was released from its jinchūriki by an unknown shinobi wearing a mask. The village of Konohagakure was close to destruction by the attack of the Nine-Tails, but the village was saved by its leader. Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki — who was the jinchūriki at the time of the attack, sealed away the demon inside their new born son: Naruto Uzumaki. However, this act of saving the village cost them their lives and they left the future of the ninja world to Naruto.
With the Nine-Tails sealed away, things continued as normal. However, the peace of the village did not last long, for Pain, Konan, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan and Kakuzu — members of a dreaded organisation called the Akatsuki — attacked Konohagakure. Naruto narrowly managed to launch a counter-attack but why have these shinobi appeared when all of them were meant to have died? The mystery remains, but the shinobi are praised by their families for completing such a dangerous mission. However, one of them who has never known the faces of his parents, Naruto, cannot help but feel lonely. At that exact time, suddenly, the masked man makes his appearance in Konoha. Naruto and Sakura are both attacked by the man's mysterious new dōjutsu.
Coming to, Naruto and Sakura find themselves in another world where everyone they know acts very differently. However, things get more confusing when the two learn that a more good-natured Sasuke lives in Konoha, and that Naruto's parents Minato and Kushina are alive yet Sakura's parents Kizashi and Mebuki have long died. this last statement of sakuras parents is incorrect. in this new world sakura's dad is the hokage not naruto's dad
Genjutsu World
Main article: Genjutsu World The majority of the movie takes place in an alternate dimension known as the Genjutsu World, where almost the entire cast has different personalities and behaviours compared to their actual selves. Despite this, some, however, still possess personalities and habits that mimic their actual selves.
- This year's 17th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine announced that Naruto manga creator Masashi Kishimoto is personally conceiving the all-new story and designing the characters for this movie.
- The theme song for the film will be "Well Then, See You Tomorrow", performed by Asian Kung-Fu Generation.

The Declasse Sabre GT is a high performance muscle car in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The Sabre GT is more alike earlier renditions of the Sabre prior to GTA IV (as GTA IV's Sabre is redesigned with a modern appearance), and is also comparable to the Sabre Turbo in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA IVThe Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars. The back and sides resemble a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass [1] - but the sides have softer lines and could be from '68/'69 Chevrolet Chevelles, the grille has a resemblance to a 1970 AMC Rebel, the front is similar to a 1970 Buick GSX [2] (the headlights and the shape of the bumper is also very similar to a 1970 Cutlass) and the front bumper's round turning signals are similar to a 1968 or 1969 Dodge Coronet. The wheels appear to be based on those found on Pontiac Firebirds during the 1970's. The paint-job seems to look like that of a Mustang Mach 1 with some characteristics of a Shelby Mustang. The different hood scoop on some Sabre GTs resembles that of a 1968 Shelby Mustang, while some resemble the 442 Cutlass. Overall, the look created emulates the GM big body V8 coupes of the early 70's (Cutlass, Skylark, Chevelle). The Sabre GT has a different Declasse logo than the makers other cars, being an older design, a circle with "Declasse" written around the inside edge.
The Sabre GT is remarkably similar to the Sabre Turbo from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V. The stripes featured on some Sabre GTs look much like the ones on the Sabre Turbo, except the stripes do not continue all the way down the hood to the front of the car. The words "Sabre Turbo" are painted on the lower sides of the car, just in front of the rear wheels. Sabre GTs may also appear with a hood bulge or a large hood scoop.
The Sabre GT houses a turbocharged version of the regular Sabre's herculean 9-litre (550 ci) V8, equipped with the same drivetrain. The lack of a sixth gear in the 'box results in a top speed of 153 mph (246 km/h). The behemoth of an engine is comparable to that of the Imponte Dukes, though the wider tires and shorter wheelbase eliminate a trifle of the hideous wheelspin resulting from the rear wheels having to cope with such levels of torque. Though the back-end readily swings round corners, this is noticeably more controllable in corners than the Imponte equivalent. The exhaust note is unique to the Sabre GT, and it shares its horn with the Sabre. Although the exhaust note more closely resembles the Stallion when heard from the rear of the car, it is slightly less audible in comparison. However, when heard from the front of the car, the whistle of the turbo and the roar of the 550ci V8 is distinct.
The Sabre GT rolls heavily through corners and has a strong tendency to understeer. The car does not feature ABS, and therefore may extend stopping distance under heavy braking, and the combination of weight and low ground clearance makes the car dive forward enough to damage the front splitter. However, it does handle far better than the Dukes or Stallion. As with many muscle cars, it has low rear tire grip and very soft suspension, a setup that favors experienced players who, with practice, can slide the car through corners, beating more modern vehicles with ease. Care must be taken in heavy traffic, as the vehicle cannot withstand many frontal impacts before being disabled.
Since the suspension features low ground clearance, it is not uncommon to find nicks and scratches along the undercarriage due to scraping against uneven road surfaces and potholes. The front splitter is prone to scraping when hitting hills, crests and bumps in the road, and may even break the turn signals mounted on either side of the front bumper.
There are several iterations of the Sabre GT, all cosmetic in nature. Some feature a plain hood, others feature a cowl for the air filter with a "TURBOCHARGED" badge on either side, and some feature a more aggressive forward-facing scoop, and may feature quick-release pins to keep the hood from flying off under high speed. All GT's can be found in either solid or two-tone body colors.
A unique Sabre GT is wanted by Stevie for S&M Auto Sales , which can be located in a driveway near Meadows Park. It is featured in lime green with a dark greenish-blue stripe and pearlescent tint.
The car also appears in a rare brown two-tone scheme (roof, hood, and boot lid is colored light brown while doors and quarter panels on all corners are colored dark brown) with cream colored decals. It is occasionally seen in Leftwood and parked on Vespucci Circus. You can also find a purple two-tone GT across from the Angels of Death hideout in Varsity Heights, Algonquin. One may spawn randomly around the Firefly Projects or surrounding area, this is the rarest colour variant.
- The default radio stations for the Sabre GT are:
- GTA IV: Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- The Sabre may receive it's name due to its real-life counterpart the Oldsmobile Cutlass, as the names are two types of swords.
- On the back cover of the GTA IV disc case, there's a picture of Niko outrunning several Police Cruisers in a blue and white Sabre GT.
- If you take the car to a Pay 'N' Spray, you may receive a body color similar to the Sabre Turbo in the opening cutscene for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- In GTA IV, the police refer to the Sabre GT as a "Classique Sabre GT", but this car is made by Declasse, although it looks like an Oldsmobile.
- Under the "Chinatown Wars" section of the Rockstar Games Social Club website, members may download a printable papercraft model the game's Sabre GT.
- Driving the Sabre GT will make the PCJ-600 spawn more often in traffic.
- A similar looking car that could have been the original inspiration for the Sabre altogether was featured on the original PC cover of GTA1.
- On the side skirt of the car is written "Sabre Turbo", a nod to the original Sabre Turbo in VC.
- After collecting all cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars off Niko, with the Sabre GT fetching $2000
- As with many other vehicles in GTA IV, this car may be locked on a white-gray or gray-blue color if you re-spray it too many times. The only solution to this is to find another vehicle and try to get the desired color.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Often spawn in Rotterdam Hill, South Slopes (Broker), The Meat Quarter, Middle Park, Suffolk, Varsity Heights and Westminster (Algonquin).
- Sometimes spawn in Downtown and Outlook (Broker).
- Occasionally spawn in Berchem, Leftwood and Westdyke (Alderney).
- Sometimes parked in a driveway in Beachgate.
- Rarely spawns in Northwood.
GTA Chinatown Wars
- Found commonly on roads
- Can be purchased from Auto Merchant at $700.

An Onslow County family will have a brand new place to call home for the holidays thanks to Habitat for Humanity and the community.
Standing on the front porch of her new home sweet home, Matilda Jones wipes off tears running down her face.
Jones, her husband, and her two kids Ashley and Jordan needed this three bedroom house, which is a huge upgrade from the two bedroom apartment they lived in in Havelock. Kris Durham of Habitat for Humanity says, "She needed to get out of the moldy apartment she was living in so that her son could have a healthier environment to live."
Jones' son Jordan has medical issues with his lungs--and a nice new clean house could do wonders for his health. Matilda says, "This is a huge hurdle for us, hoping that we'll get a lot of the health issues under control, and get past a lot of medical treatments that we're doing at this point, just so that Jordan can have a better quality of life, without all the treatments and hospitalizations and stuff like that."
Part of the deal with Habitat for Humanity is the new homeowner has to help build the house.
Jones will have a mortgage for the house she will pay off after 30 years with a zero percent interest loan.

Remember that scene from "The Fifth Element" when Leeloo is reconstituted using her DNA as a blueprint? Did you ever want your own Replicator from Star Trek? Within the last few years, hype about 3D printing has steadily grown and the stuff of Sci-Fi dreams is closer to becoming a reality. 3D printing has already allowed surgeons to partially reconstruct a person's face and even print food! We're not quite all the way to having our own personal Replicator, but rapid advances in 3D printing are bringing us closer every day.
These rapid advances in technology also raise interesting new legal questions.For example:
Does the creator of a 3D-printable file always own the file?
What can or can't be done with a 3D-printable file that is owned by someone else?
When an object is printed, who owns it?
The goal of this guide is to answer these types of questions as well as introduce you to 3D printing.

A Sikh priest who suffered severe head injuries in last summer's shooting rampage in Wisconsin remains largely unresponsive, but has begun showing signs of awareness his doctor call remarkable.
Punjab Singh is in a long-term facility. He was shot in the head in August, in an attack at a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple that left six people dead and three others injured.
His prognosis was grim but he has been improving. He can move his eyes to track movement, he tries to mouth words and he seems genuinely aware of his surroundings. His family credits prayer, love and constant companionship.
Still, Singh's best-case scenario remains limited. He'll most likely never walk, and communication likely will consist of deliberate eye blinks, simple gestures and perhaps whispered words.

mmm, it looks like a 20 inch digital picture frame...
Panasonic says bigger is better with 20-inch tablet
Lars Rehm | Published: Jan 9, 2013 at 19:25 UTC55
While last year's Consumer Electronics Show brought a plethora of new tablets to light, 2013 is a much quieter year on the tablet front this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, Panasonic is showing a prototype of a 20-inch 4k (3840x2560, 230ppi) tablet on its booth which from an imaging point of view could well be one of the most interesting products at this show. The device is aimed at creative professionals such as architects, designers and photographers.
It runs Windows 8, is powered by an Intel i5 processor and comes with 4GB RAM which can be expanded to 16GB. Despite the large screen size, the battery life is listed as approximately 2 hours. Panasonic claims the color reproduction is very accurate and the tablet comes with a high-resolution digital pen (Anoto touch-pen) for precise control and data input.
Although a protoype, the device on display looks very well assembled and appears to be fully working. When we got the chance to play with it we found the IPS panel to be very responsive with a vibrant image but due to the high resolution the menus and toolbars in Photoshop (or any other application) have shrunk to a microscopic size which makes them difficult to use. In terms of computing power and screen resolution this device could easily replace a laptop in the field for image editing and viewing but we'll have to see how photographers take to the new form factor and ergonomics.

Looks good. Would have been nice when I was doing more commercial photography. Displayed images would look more vibrant than my printed portfolio. That, and a good way to show actual pixels if the client wants to check out sharpness and clipping path accuracy. This would be a great way to showcase my stuff.
Anyone have an extra three grand laying around?

This what Infoworld has to say --
This tablet's biggest selling point is its massive 20-inch, 4K (aka the new hi-def) screen, which would make it perfect for architects, designers, and other folks who could really benefit from the extra detail and screen space. One small problem, though: It doesn't have enough processing power to handle all that detail and real estate, so it lags like crazy even when doing basic touch manipulation. Panasonic might have wanted to address that before showing off the tablet.

I may be wrong, but I can see in the photo above that Panasonic did not enable 150% scaling in Windows 8 in this demo unit. The UI elements will still be rather small with 150% scaling but usable. What we see in the picture is not usable at all.

If it goes for anywhere under $3k, it will be a hot seller - provided they fix some of the weirdness, like not having USB3 and putting a "real" sized SSD in it (or at least allowing user swaps). In comparison, the iPad 32GB version is 1/4 the size, 1/4 the power, 1/4 the resolution, 1/4 the storage, and runs not a single desktop app nor does it have a stylus - and it's $600. $2400 would have me whipping out the ol' credit card.
That $80 tablet is a digital toy. If you're doing anything except watching consumer videos or re-purposing it as grandma's digital picture frame (she can't see anyway, so the 16 bit color and 100:1 contrast is considered a plus), it will sorely disappoint.

By JordanAT (Jan 10, 2013)
First off...the small menus are a feature, not a bug. If you're going to be using a pixel-accurate stylus, a 24x24 pixel (which is photoshop) is more than enough. I want every tool available, and I want it to take up as little screen space as possible so I don't have to constantly pan and zoom. Now, for touch interaction...that will need bigger icons. I can see how a touch optimized icon set which allows you to manipulate the tools with one hand and the photo (via a pen) with the other could be pretty sweet.
It's gonna need a bigger SSD, no doubt, but this is a rare case where I think 2 hours on battery is okay, as you're probably going to be near some sort of power source if you're doing more work than that. You'll get a big battery and an external drive to go with this if you're going to be doing large volume on the road and don't have a local wifi network or portable power to use.
I do architecture, too, so I can't wait to mark up drawings on this thing.

How close must one's nose be to the screen to perceive the additional resolution? Will a magnifying glass help? The 4k resolution must be for photos only. How could an i5 processor drive 4k video? Is there a dedicated graphics chip too?
There is an obvious trade-off between battery life, on the one hand, and processor speed, RAM, screen size, and resolution, on the other. 2 hour battery life is not a lot.

A $400 GoPro or a $5,000 JVC shoot 4k video of sorts. Some expensive devices do too. More important, though, is the question whether the human eye could notice the difference on a 20" screen at a 5' viewing distance. Or maybe the higher resolution is mainly for eagle-eyes who like to see the entire IRS 1040 instructions on a single screen. i7 machines with NVIDIA cards render 4k video very slowly, so I don't imagine a tablet would have a very easy time. 500mbps is a lot to handle.

If it's aimed at photographers then it needs a lot of fast storage, either internally or connected externally. It also needs a fast connection to memory cards (micro SD really? Come on at least put an SD slot in the thing it's more than large enough). Have an add-on battery and storage capability so it can be used for longer than 2 hours and not just have a single storage drive.
This would be really attractive to me if you could have an external drive, but powered by the tablet attach directly to it as well as an additional batter. it would be thicker, but a whole lot more useful.
Since this is in the prototype stage hopefully they will get this thing sorted out and properly configured and thought out . . .

Any time you look at a display on your computer/camera/phone it is essentially the "Boob Tube" and show what will trickle down soon to other media. Thanks to apple who pushed high res into phones we can stand the images, and the retina technology for their laptop and tablets are superb - not only in resolution, but color and brightness - so yes, and technology is helpful - also, if you are into film, having a good and cheaper monitor for 4k at a consumer level would be great - even Red's $3500 9" monitor is only 1280x784.

I don't know about others, but my eyes can see at least 600 ppi from 10 inches away and used to see 1000 ppi, so 230 ppi is good for viewing at 25 inches away. Contrast is another issue. And for a smooth vision I expect the ppi of a device to be at least 3 times higher than the capability of my eyes.

I tested it by looking on a dot on i and a dot finishing a sentence on an 8-bit LCD monitor with 0.25 mm dot size at 150 cm away. That is 100 ppi at 60 inches. I must be a superman.

And the 1000 ppi equivalent was a very small imperfection on a window glass against a medium bright sky. The devil is in the contrast.

OS X is already doing the 2x scaling needed (to be able to see the menus at a normal size) because of the MacBook Retina models. It's possible a "hacked" OS X would do the same here. But Apple won't endorse this tablet, so it won't become "a Mac" unless Apple produces one.
What would happen is Windows would be given a similar "2x"-like scaling capability before this goes on sale.

endymion, photography and design pros use Macs because they're not left-brain types, they're right-brain types. They want the computer to be another one of their creative tools, they don't care about it being a list of specifications that's longer than the other guy's. There is also still some residual momentum from the years (long ago now) when Windows didn't have the hardware and OS support to do graphics properly. Although today, both Macs and Windows can get the job done just as well.

Now if this has USB3 then it could replace a laptop or an iMac for tethered scenarios in studio or on location (w/ power). I can see it running C1 Pro and providing better mobility while you shoot. Web services could be run on it as well for other devices to mirror the shoot. Depending on the shoot the 128GB should do just fine. Otherwise as another poster mentioned an external drive.
In terms of using it for imaging editing for my needs, I'll still stick with a desktop to give me Max system and video RAM. I would just be missing out on that 4K screen. Perhaps if its not a final product they could add a thunderbolt port versus USB3 (not confirmed it has that either) which might allow it to act like a monitor, take storage devices and tethering!
It will be cool to see what the final product will look like. It definitely a harbinger of 4K display tech coming to the masses in one form or another.

The nine-member Maine Forest Incident Management Team returned home today after two weeks in New York City helping residents in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn.
Maine Forest Ranger Jon Blackstone (center), conducts a safety briefing in Brooklyn earlier this month, as team members get set to do door-to-door checks of residents in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Maine forest rangers are returning to Maine today after spending two weeks helping with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New York City.
The nine-member Maine Forest Ranger Incident Management Team was sent to the Coney Island section of Brooklyn two days after the devastating storm flooded streets, damaged and destroyed buildings, and left millions without power.
The Maine team managed three separate medical-assistance units made up of members of the National Guard, paramedics and New York City health officials. They conducted more than 21,000 door-to-door checks on residents in nearly 200 high-rise buildings, state officials say, and helped fill dozens of medical prescriptions for those unable to get to a pharmacy.
"We are very proud of the much-needed assistance provided by our Maine forest rangers and are glad they are all home safe and sound," says Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Commissioner Walter Whitcomb, in a statement. "I know their extensive experience alleviated some of the pain and suffering still being endured by Hurricane Sandy victims."

At present I am reading the Sitepoint book - HTML5 & CSS3 for the real world:
In the section
"Would the real HTML5 spec please stand up"?
There I read that there is now an additional organization "the Web Hypertext Application Techonology Working Group" WHATWG that serves the living HTML standard, dropping the "5" found at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps...ork/multipage/ . It is called a "living standard" because it will be in constant development and will no longer be refered to using incremental updates.
The W3C's version of the standard can be found at :
WHATWG was formed by a group of people from Apple, Mozilla and Opera.So what is the difference between the W3C spec and that of WHATWG? Briefly the WHATWG version is a little more informal and experimental (and, some might argue more forward-thinking).
Should you be worried that there are two versions of the spec?
What is your opinion?In short, no.

Exceptional customer service
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Skamania Lodge for a work conference. The lodge, surrounding views and food were excellent, but above all customer service was impressive.
From the moment I checked in, I experienced friendly and helpful staff and one of these staff members stood out above the rest. Stephanie, who works at the front desk, checked me in and took care of my departure when I left. When I was checking out, I mentioned that I would like to bring my wife back; Stephanie gave me a discount coupon for a return visit. Through conversation, I told Stephanie that my brother-in-law and sister were staying at Skamania Lodge for their anniversary on the upcoming weekend. Stephanie researched their reservation and upgraded their room from a forest view to a river view. Rarely do you get a chance to experience this kind of service and I thank all of the staff at Skamania Lodge for a wonderful stay, but above all, thank you Stephanie for your kindness.

For my 50th birthday, I dyed my hair purple. Vivid grape purple! I have long hair, so it took a ton of dye, and I had to lighten it first. A real pain to maintain, but I kept it for a year. Then faded purple, which is really kinda pink, then burgundy. Now I'm a fiery red with brunette undertones. I haven't seen my natural blonde in ages, I think it is a salt and silver dishwater now if my roots are any indication.
Viva dye!

I don't know.
When I got married almost 30 years ago one of my bridesmaids had the tips of her hair dyed pink. I guess it was to jazz up the sedate purple dresses that I picked out.
We got together a few years ago and looked at those wedding pictures and her pink hair kind of stood out.
I say have fun with it, but think twice about appearing in photos that are going to stick around very long.

This blog is so great, I've been following it for quite a while.
My hair went grey in my 20's, so I have dyed my hair in crazy colours for the past 20 years. I have ended up with blue, as it covers the grey perfectly, and in daylight it is almost luminous!
However, I will go for pastel shades in the future.
I'm a designer, and in 2008, we made our seasonal look book where one of the models was a beautiful and mature woman. We exhibited the pictures and catalogue at fashion fairs in Copenhagen and Paris, and people came into our stand to talk about this model on the pictures, as much as looking at the clothes! I didn't expect the pictures to create that much (positive) attention. It was so great, and it really inspires me to continue working with mature women as models in the future.

my hair went gray quickly in middle age, to a nice gray, but i looked like a dirty snowball with a face, so i've been adding some purple streaks for many years. i live in a small town, but i've gotten many compliments and lots of enthusiasm from friends, students & strangers.
maybe i'll try a new color...btw,my hair goddess says the redder colors last longer than the bluey ones.

Beautiful! My mother, a 69-year-old tomboy who lives in southern Maine, underwent chemotherapy for colon cancer last year. To celebrate making it throught the treatment (which was gruelling but did not cause much hair loss), she died the bangs oh her steel-gray pixie a vibrant royal blue. She looked amazing, got way more compliments than bemused stares, and explained that blue was the colon cancer awareness color when questioned. It was a gear example of a strong older woman letting her freak flag fly!

Getting grey hair is one of the reasons I can't wait to get older (I already have some actually ^^;) because you can do anything with it without having to bleach it. I would go for a copper tone then (similar but not quite like Vivienne Westwood)...but these ladies with their purples and pinks are gorgeous as well.
