Top processor maker predicts $599 multi-touch ultrabooks, 13 hour battery life
those unhappy
with Microsoft Corp.'s (
) touch-driven operating system turn with Windows 8, it's about to get worse. Intel Corp. (
) announced at its Monday afternoon press conference at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show
at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada that
next generation Core i-Series "Ultrabook" machines will be
required to have touch
In other words, for OEMs less than enthusiastic about touch displays for laptops, you will be forced to either begrudgingly add touch or may be bumped down the supply ladder when it comes to Intel's latest and greatest upcoming Ultrabook-aimed chip -- the
new 22 nm architecture
(a "tock" release).
Thus Intel appears to be following an approach similar to Microsoft's with Windows 8 -- shoving innovation down the throat of the market.
Both device designers and customers will now be forced to deal with this force-feeding -- whether or not they feel ready for it. Ultimately that may be a wise decision for both companies; Microsoft otherwise would risk being overrun by master marketers and innovators like Google Inc. (
) and Apple, Inc. (
), while Intel would risk losing more ground to ARM Holdings Plc. (
For OEMs who play nice, there will be rewards.
Intel showed off a 13-inch reference design that delivered 13 hour battery life, when in laptop mode (10 hours when in tablet mode, detachable via a one-touch latching mechanism). Intel is claiming that the battery bump from
Ivy Bridge
is the "largest generation on generation battery life increase in the history of Intel."
The processor maker believes that by the holidays $599 USD or below touch laptops will be available to consumers, with the latest Intel Core processors.

RE: Doesn't make sense
Wow, you're surely on something, care to share so we can live in the same happy fantasy land as you?
Point: ARM SoC's are nice, but currently the fastest ones are on par with Atom's. Last time I benched an Atom, it was pulling about 1100 on Geekbench. An AMD Brazos E-350 benches at almost 2000. A Pentium III benches at around 750, a P4@2Ghz comes in at around 1000.
So, for Apple to take their high-powered workstation class Macbook Pros which score around 11500-12000 DOWN to something that scores (even optimistically DOUBLING ARM scores to 2000 or so) down by a factor of 6 would be pure stupidity of the highest levels. Such a move would even be DUMBER than what you claim Microsoft did to Win8 (which is an... okay operating system, many things I'm not crazy about).
Such a move would absolutely KILL their computer lines, and for what? Intel is -not- their competition, Intel is a parts supplier, and they are the best at what they do. Look how far down they've taken the power draw on their core series of chips. The i7-3517U is capable of running in a 17W TDP, and would absolutely DESTROY anything made by ARM. In fact, in tests against some of the tablets, the ULV i7 (which is a pretty lightweight processor) scored 11x faster than Tegra3 and 6x faster than the dual-core Krait processors.
And the MB Pros don't use the ULV chips, so the performance drop would be even more extreme.
Point: While Apple may be good at design, and they might have some skill at modifying ARM-licensed designs, that doesn't mean they're remotely good at designing an X86 chip - and the differences are HUGE. In addition, that's not even touching on the fact that Intel holds a huge number of patents on the X86. If Apple decides to go into their own X86 chip fabrication, I'll give you what the answer would be if they asked Intel to let them license the X86 portfolio and simultaneously cut their purchases of Intel processors so they could make their own. Hint for the drug-impaired: probably NO. Or worse.
Point: AMD tried to compete with Intel, and they're pretty good at chip-fab too, they actually had Intel on the ground once or twice when they came out with the x64 IA and enjoyed some pretty good market share gains. Look where they are now. Yes, they still make very good chips, and for all-in-one solutions that require better video their Trinity chips are excellent. Intel is cleaning their clocks though. Trying to find notebooks which use the Trinity processors is almost an exercise in futility.
Flat-out - Intel has the the chops to make the -best- chips, and have R&D which Apple will never be able to buy, so it doesn't make sense to compete with them as that would be a very nasty fight. Besides, it doesn't matter as again, Intel doesn't COMPETE with Apple. It would be like Apple trying to design their own LCD screens, why bother when someone else makes them, makes them well, and would give them volume pricing. Let someone else do the R&D while you focus on your core (computers and OS).
Last and final point: You say that Intel should try and do more to win back Apples business. Uhhh.. WHAT? Last time I checked, all of Apples COMPUTERS (desktops and notebooks) are already USING EXCLUSIVELY Intel processors. There ARE NO AMD Apples. Apple used to use Motorola CPUs, then switched to Intel (or have those aforementined drugs addled your few functioning brain cells?). And in spite of your insistence that Apple is going to leverage ARM technology to supplant Intel - well, good luck with that pipe dream. NEVER going to happen.
And guess what Intel -IS- doing? Working on getting the Atom TDP down to a level which makes usage in tablets and smart phones possible. And guess what? They're succeeding. The new Atom Z2760 is being used in the Acer W510, and battery life is close (down 10-15% from iPad4) while performance is up about 20-25%. This is with the Z2760 at the 32nm process node - if (more likely when) they go to 22nm that power difference will evaporate, and performance can be knocked up a notch. The net result is that it is FAR more likely that Intel will get it's chips into smartphone territory - with better performance before ARM can get their chips into desktop territory.
If Intel succeeds, ARMs days will be numbered.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Tom Cruise is channeling his inner rock star to play fictional singer Stacee Jaxx in the upcoming Rock of Ages, and now fans can do the same with cocktail recipes inspired by the film.
Bartender Sergio Campos, a manager at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood, has created two drinks with their own ties to rock history – "The Golden God" and "The Rock & Roll."
The latter was inspired by Little Richard, according to Campos, who lived in a suite at the hotel in the 1980s and 1990s and once described rock 'n' roll as "boogie-woogie and rhythm & blues mixed."
"The Golden God" gets its moniker from Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, who once leaned over the balcony at the Andaz and said "I am a golden god" while gazing at a nearby billboard of the band's 1975 album, Physical Graffiti.
"I grew up listening to '80s music," Campos tells PEOPLE. "Rock of Ages is definitely on the top of my list of movies to watch this summer. I'm excited for the soundtrack alone. Plus, who wouldn't want to watch a movie with rock, booze and leather pants?"
Want to try the drinks? Check out the recipes below to concoct your own Rock-tail:
The Golden God
1 oz. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon
½ St. Germain Elderflower cordial
2 dashes organic agave nectar
2 oz. freshly squeezed pineapple juice
Top off with Boylan Crème Soda
Combine the bourbon, elderflower cordial, agave nectar and pineapple juice in to a mixing glass, and shake well. Strain into a Collins glass full of ice and top of with Boylan Crème Soda.
The Rock & Roll
1 oz. Bacardi Superior rum
½ oz. Sailor Jerry Spiced rum
½ oz. Campari
2 oz. pineapple mint juice (blend pineapple juice and mint leaves)
½ oz. fresh lime juice
Combine light rum, spiced rum, pineapple mint juice, and lime juice into a mixing glass, then shake well. Pour into a Collins glass full of ice and garnish with diced pineapple and mint leaves.
Rock of Ages-Inspired Cocktails: Drink Like a Rock Star!

In 2009 more than two decades of civil war in Sri Lanka came to an end, and the country began the task of recovering from the immense hardships experienced by the population and the massive disruption of the economy.
Even though tourism boomed immediately after the end of the war, problems remained – among them, a growing concern about the safety of food consumed by locals and tourists. Improving food safety and standards, and the process of assessment, became an immediate necessity in order to support the restoration of the country's economy. The tourism industry; food hygiene and safety; occupational safety; and environmental management - all these had to be adapted to meet international standards.
Two years before the end of the war, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) had helped the Ceylon National Chamber of Industries, and the National Chamber of Exporters, to establish Ind-Expo Certification, a not-for-profit body to support Sri Lanka's economic development by providing internationally accepted and credible conformity assessments and training. The enhancement of knowledge in the application and implementation of conformity assessments in the country's industrial, as well as service sectors was deemed essential to meet international requirements and standards.
Today, Ind-Expo is registered as a public, non-profit, training and certification body, which maintains a strong portfolio, offering certification services, food safety training and awareness programmes for the food catering, as well as the industrial, sector throughout the country, and training on the requirements and internal auditing of numerous ISO-created, food safety and occupational health and safety standards. Furthermore, Ind-Expo is internationally recognized by the Chartered Institute of Environment and Health (CIEH UK).
Ind-Expo also operates Crowns for Food Hygiene, a scheme based on international best practices, which has been developed to assist and encourage food businesses in Sri Lanka to follow good hygienic practices. By registering with the scheme, food businesses are able train their food handlers and thereby to prepare and serve safe and hygienic food for their customers. Food-handling establishments, including hotels, restaurants, and school and hospital canteens, which register with the scheme, are inspected and categorized according to their hygienic level and are then awarded between one and five crowns. The scheme is based on, and partners with, the highly successful "Scores on the Doors'' scheme operated in the United Kingdom. The Crowns for Food Hygiene scheme is fully recognized through Memorandum of Understandings with three Sri Lankan municipalities, as well as with the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority.
The ongoing project is part of UNIDO's Trade Capacity Building activities, and is funded by NORAD (the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation). NORAD's senior advisor, Dag Larsson, recently commended the achievements of Ind-Expo and the support provided by UNIDO based on a new approach to certification service, and expressed his hope that the establishment of Ind-Expo can be used a model for similar support in the future.
Since the start of the project, Ind-Expo has trained a total of 3,784 beneficiaries in Sri Lanka. By the end of the project, Ind-Expo should be able to sustain itself without any external help and will have reached its ultimate goal of becoming an independent, transparent and sustainable business.
Rishad Bathiudeen, Sri Lanka's Minister of Industry and Commerce, recently commended the Crowns for Food Hygiene scheme initiated with the Colombo Municipal Council, and announced the project's imminent expansion to neighbouring districts. Minister Bathiudeen said he anticipated a remarkable change in the tourism industry of the country as a result of the efforts of Ind-Expo and the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority to upgrade food safety and hygiene conditions in the country's tourist hotels and restaurants.
With the country's flourishing tourist trade and its large urban population, taking precautions is very necessary: food-borne illness can spread quickly. A great number and variety of food outlets, from five star hotels serving gourmet meals, to small restaurants and bakeries, are at risk of closure for not conforming to food safety legislation. Sri Lanka is taking an innovative approach to this challenge and - with UNIDO's and NORAD's help - is on its way to facilitating further trade, through the development of these crucial measures.

When children are teased, attacked and abused by their peers, the short and long-term effects can be detrimental. In some cases, bullying ends in tragedy. See some of the numbers behind bullying by clicking through this slideshow.
One in four kids admit to being bullied or are doing some bullying.
Every seven minutes a child is bullied.
In 85 percent of those bullying cases, no one intervenes.
Thirty-one percent of students reported that they would join in bullying someone they disliked.
A British study concluded that half of youth suicides are related to bullying.
More than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online while about the same number have engaged in bullying others.
From 1999 to 2001, bullying increased by five percent.
What are the five states that report the most bullying? Washington ranks fifth.
Pennsylvania ranks fourth.
Illinois ranks third.
New York ranks second.
California ranks first.
When bullying occurs at school, teachers and staff face the challenges head-on. See some stats behind bullying from the perspective of educators.
Sixty-two percent of educators who were surveyed indicated that they had witnessed bullying two or more times in one month.
Bullying takes many forms. Verbal abuse was reported by 59 percent of school staff.
Social and relational abuse among schoolchildren were reported by 50 percent of school staff.
Physical abuse among schoolchildren was reported by 39 percent of school staff. Seventeen percent reported cyberbullying.
Gender was also a factor. In their responses, 20 percent of educators reported bullying based on gender. They also reported that bullying was based on a student's weight (23%).
Eighteen percent said bullying occurred because of a student's sexual orientation.
Bullying based on disability was reported by 12 percent of staff.
The majority of educators (93%) reported that their district had implemented a bullying prevention policy.
Just over half, however, had received training related to the policy.

Eyeing up a vacation in Nashville
Doug and I usually take a vacation in April every year.
The timing's no coincidence. By March, I'm ready for a change of scenery in a warmer place.
I sometimes joke that if I don't get out of Dodge soon, I might poke my eyes out -- or someone else's.
For quite awhile, Joe Cirino at J&J Travel & Tours planned our getaways. Our goal: someplace warmer than Erie that offers plenty of stuff to see and do. He sent us to New Orleans (fun), Charleston (beautiful), Las Vegas (viva!) and San Diego (relaxing).
The year after Joe died, his colleague plotted our course for San Antonio and Austin (both lovely). Then Doug retired, and our travel budget shrank a bit.
Last year, we took a road trip to Chicago. I'd go back in a second. It was big-city, like the Big Apple, but without some of the attitude.
This year, our sights are set on Nashville. We're driving there with friend and colleague Kevin Cuneo, who's very familiar with the city because he spent four years there earning his bachelor's degree at Vanderbilt.
Why Nashville? After watching several episodes of its namesake TV show -- starring Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere as dueling country divas -- the scene-setting shots of the skyline started looking very good to us. And friends said it was a great place to visit.
With Nashville on our radar, I booked my vacation time with my boss, and Doug started planning.
I love it when Doug plans.
No matter where we're headed, minutes after our destination is determined, he's in a bookstore buying the latest Frommer's and Fodor's travel guides on the city.
Then he reads them cover to cover, taking notes as he goes, figuring out the restaurants, sights and shows that should be on our agenda. Then -- map in hand -- he plots out our time in the city, finds hotels, makes restaurant reservations.
It works out perfectly, because I don't like planning vacations. I just like going.
So you can all rest easy now. Your eyes are safe -- no poking needed on my part -- because mine are focused on Tennessee.

Illinois professor adds value to agriculture through Israeli partnership
Illinois professor adds value to agriculture through Israeli partnership
Grocery stores across the United States have at least one thing in common: milk. However, other countries are not so lucky, said Bryan White, University of Illinois professor of animal sciences and researcher at the Institute for Genomic Biology.
"If you walk into any U.S. grocery store on any given day, you will find milk," White said. "But the rest of the world doesn't have that luxury. Sometimes they don't get any milk."
This reality was the foundation for a grant from the United States–Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development (BARD) fund. BARD grants are awarded to American and Israeli scientists for jointly conducted and mutually beneficial research of agricultural problems.
White said the dairy industry is one of the biggest animal agricultural sectors in Israel. Milk is a large part of the Jewish diet and they want to meet that need, provide for themselves and be more independent. However, the country is small, and they are concerned about efficiency and the environment.
Itzhak Mizrahi, a researcher for the Agricultural Research Organization, approached White with the idea to find ways to increase feed efficiency in dairy cattle and to decrease methane gas emissions.
"If you increase feed efficiency, then you need fewer cows to make the same amount of milk. If you need fewer cows, then you release less gas. It's simple math," White said.
White and Mizrahi will receive $320,000 over a three-year period to fund this research.
"This grant helps create and maintain an important, international relationship," White said. "I believe it's important to foster this relationship in order to help Israel maintain its independence".
In addition, White has already received two similar grants through the United States–Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF).
White received his first BSF grant two years ago to study cellulosome metagenomics in the rumen microbiome with Raphael Lamed, a professor of molecular microbiology and biotechnology at Tel Aviv University in Israel.
"Bacteria that live in the rumen, or stomach of the cow, have an organizational system called cellulosomes to break down plant cell walls," White said. "We think cellulosomes ream out the insides of plant cell walls like a bottle brush."
White and Lamed are studying the diversity, organization and adaptability of the Ruminococcus flavefaciens bacterial strains of the rumen and their cellulosomes. They are also evaluating their functional diversity.
"Our hypothesis is that the cow rumen has the most diverse set of plant-cell-wall-breaking enzymes in nature," White said. "Cattle have been evolving for a long time. During that period, they have probably eaten every type of plant cell wall on the planet."
The researchers believe cattle developed a system that is adaptable to different cell wall types, using the numerous bacterial species found in the rumen of cattle.
"For example, we think each bacterium might have a different arsenal of enzymes that break down plant cell wall. So you might have a bacteria that uses machine guns to break down one cell wall type, another that uses grenade launchers for a different type of wall, and some that use cannons for yet another wall," he said.
Learning how to increase feed efficiency is vital worldwide for those who cannot afford to feed grains to their livestock and where high-quality growth substrates are not abundant, White said.
"Increasing the efficiency for growth on forages, grasses and non-grain sources is not a big priority for much of the United States, but in the rest of the world it is," he said. "It is a big deal to people where there are limited resources. Corn is not fed to cows when people are starving. You feed that corn to the people."
Still, the research of White and Lamed is valuable to the United States. Plant cell walls are a rich source of carbohydrates for fermentation and many value-added products, he said.
Their research may improve how plant cell walls are broken down into usable products such as biofuels, the foundation of White's second BSF.
Generally, scientists receive only one BSF at a time. However, the second BSF grant's request for application to study an aspect of biofuels had a provision that one could have a current BSF and still submit to this program, which is very unusual, White said.
White and Edward A. Bayer, professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, were awarded a BSF to study bacterial conversion of biomass to biofuels, and the artificial creation of cellulosomes for specific plant cell walls and fermentation facilities.
"We take the bacteria from a cow stomach and their enzyme components to make a designer cellulosome, using a scaffold that is similar to a Legos set, with specific locations where we can place enzymes," White said. "We make designer cocktails based on what we believe to be the most efficient mixtures to degrade a type of plant cell wall."
This technology could be used to create biofuels more efficiently from regional dedicated energy crops such as miscanthus, sorghum and poplar trees. White said this science is significant for a world facing depleting fossil fuels and limited energy sources.
"It has always been my nature to collaborate internationally to try to advance science, especially in countries that are not as well off as we are," he said. "There is scientific merit in addressing the world's issues of providing fuel, value-added products and food efficiently and cheaply with minimal environmental impact."

LOCKPORT – A woman who already is on probation for a driving while intoxicated conviction in Erie County avoided jail time for a DWI felony in Niagara County Court Thursday.
Jeanene M. Hagar, 34, of 66th Street, Niagara Falls, had pleaded guilty to DWI and unlicensed driving in the wake of a May 23 arrest in Newfane.
At first, County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III sentenced Hagar to eight weekends in jail in addition to the probation, but defense attorney Andrew C. LoTempio talked him out of it, saying Hagar works weekends, earning $28 an hour as "a very talented hairdresser." Murphy then imposed fines and fees totaling $2,570.
In another case Thursday, Corrie E. Delaney, 32, of Oliver Street, North Tonawanda, who was arrested twice for drunken driving in 2011, pleaded guilty to one felony DWI count to settle the cases. She is to be sentenced Feb. 22 by County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.

The 6 Greatest Lies Ever Told by Children
Children are horrible, sticky monsters who don't do a single thing that isn't motivated by the basest of human emotions.
Jupiterimages/Pixland/Getty Images
(thinking) "How will this benefit me, right now, at the expense of everyone else in existence?"
One of the most charming characteristics these two-legged mess makers possess is their inclination to lie about anything and everything, whether dealing with parents, teachers, or even their peers. Not a playground conversation goes by that isn't littered with lies and empty boasts, habits that start to form at a shockingly early age.
Siri Stafford / Photodisc / Getty Images
"I know karate."
So, in the interest of better protecting you and your family, I've documented some of the greatest lies ever told by children, which I encourage you to keep in mind the next time you're approached by a strange child off the leash.
#6. "I Feel Sick"
Everyone feels sick on occasion. If you spend much time on the Internet, you'll see something that makes you feel sick a couple times a week.
BananaStock/Getty Images
"Nothing can shock me anym- OH GOD NO WHY NO? HOW CAN AN EAR CANAL STRETCH THAT WIDE?"
And because they spend so much of their day literally cramming dirt into their mouths, children are no different: They will fall ill, too. Indeed, until the age of 5 or so, every time children announce that they feel sick, there probably is something actually wrong with them. But that changes pretty quickly once being sick means staying home from school. Recall that children are, quite literally, learning machines, and it isn't going to take many iterations for a child to learn that the sequence of steps ...
Feeling Sick -> Announcing You Feel Sick -> Staying Home From School
... can be duplicated without all the unpleasant business involved in that first step. From there it's only a small step to fake barfing sounds and palm licking.

"I think I got the Ebola cancer, Mom. I love you. Don't cry. You have to be brave."
#5. "The Dog Ate My Homework"
Perhaps the most famous of childhood lies, to the point that it's now more a cliche than anything else, this excuse was used by pint-sized deceit peddlers to conceal why they hadn't finished their homework. Even if it's used ironically now, the spirit behind it absolutely lives on -- children are still dumb and hate homework. They just blame the printer instead.

That a printer eating something is more plausible than a dog doing it is yet another condemnation of the printing industry.
But let's go back to the original "The dog ate my homework" lie for a second, and have a closer look at the features that make it so famous. One, notice how it's just a little implausible, but not completely so. Dogs kind of do all sorts of horrible things with their mouths or butts.
AbleStock.com/Getty Images
And sometimes with both at the same time.
Two, see how hard it is to disprove? What kind of maniac is going to sift through a dog's leavings, looking for fractions drills? Cliche though it may be, this is a very powerful lie that these wee princelings of lies have stumbled upon, and you'll notice that many of its features show up in the lies to come.
#4. "I Was in a Gang Back in My Hometown"
Because adults enjoy activities like drinking and sex-drinking, and also because we can't stand them, we often have cause to leave children lightly attended for a length of time, with only their peers to keep them company. This inevitably leads to a frighteningly quick descent into ferality, with the children jockeying for position like the pack animals they essentially are, using all sorts of saber-rattling techniques.
BananaStock/Getty Images
"I like you, Katie. I'm going to kill you last."
It should come as no surprise, then, that open deceit plays a big role in this posturing, with the "I was in a gang in my hometown" proto-lie being a fashionable gambit. Obviously most popular among children who've moved or spent their summers elsewhere, it shares some of the features previously discussed, in that it's hard to immediately disprove. Assuming the lie is bought, it establishes that the liar is not to be stepped to and will absolutely shiv you on the swing set if you give her a reason.
BananaStock/Getty Images
"Lucky for you that I lost my shivs in the move."
Older, more dangerous children will perhaps be more familiar with the variation on this lie popular among their ugly peers: "I have a girlfriend online."
BananaStock/Getty Images
"Yeah, she's mega hot. She was in my gang too, actually. I gave her all my shivs as a going-away present."

on March 13, 2013 - 9:03 PM
BERLIN — Political and religious leaders on Wednesday welcomed the election of Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the world's first ever Latin American pope.
Argentina's Congress interrupted its session after television stations broke off their programming to announce Bergoglio's election as leader of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics.
"There is a new pope and he is an Argentine," said Julian Dominguez, speaker of the lower house of the Argentinian Congress as Bergoglio confirmed his new title: Pope Francis.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, with whom Bergoglio has crossed swords in the past, as archbishop of Buenos Aires, avoided any reference to his origins.
"It is our wish for you to have, as you take on the leadership and guidance of the Church, a fruitful pastoral task regarding such major responsibilities for the sake of justice, equality, fraternity and peace for humanity," she said in a brief letter.
Venezuela's caretaker president Nicolas Maduro saw the hand of late leader Hugo Chavez in the choice of the conclave of cardinals.
"We know our commander ascended into those heights and is standing before Christ. He must have exerted some influence for a South American pope to be elected," Maduro said.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, who was close to Bergoglio's predecessor, said he was struck "by the simplicity" of the pope's first public address, while outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti stressed the pontiff's Italian origins.
U.S. President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas were among other leaders to send congratulations.
Merkel, whose country produced Bergoglio's predecessor, Benedict XVI, said she was "especially happy for the Christians of Latin America." Obama said the Argentinian's accession to the throne of St. Peter, showed "the strength and vitality of a region that is increasingly shaping our world" and said all Americans including millions of Hispanic Americans welcomed the "historic day." Ban said that the church and the U.N. shared "many common goals" and that he hoped Pope Francis would continue Benedict's efforts to promote "inter-faith dialogue." Abbas invited Pope Francis to visit Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus Christ.
World Jewish Congress president Ronald Lauder said the pope was "no stranger" to Jewish communities, adding he expected Francis to continue fighting anti-Semitism.
The cardinal had "always had an open ear for our concerns," Lauder said.
Catholic leaders expressed joy and surprise at the election of a humble figure, whose choice of papal name pays homage to St. Francis of Assisi, a 13th century Italian friar who chose to live among the poor.
German Cardinal Joachim Meisner of Cologne said the choice of Bergoglio was a "surprise," and was "completely different" from what he and other members of the conclave had envisioned.
The decision for Bergoglio came about gradually in discussion and in the succession of votes since the beginning of the week, he said.
"I believe that most of those who participated in the conclave reacted the same, that it was something we had not thought possible.
"He was a gift and has been warmly welcomed by us," Meisner said.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, who participated in the conclave in the Vatican and was himself considered a possible contender for the job, said his peers had made an "inspired choice."
"As successor to Peter, our first pope, Pope Francis I stands as the figure of unity for all Catholics wherever they reside," he said in a statement issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The National Bishops' Conference of Brazil, which has the world's biggest Catholic population, saw the winds of change blowing through the Vatican.
The election of a Latin American showed "the Church is opening up, that it is devoted to the whole Church and not just to Europe's," Leonardo Steiner, secretary-general of the conference said.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff congratulated Argentina for the election of Francis and looked forward to hosting the new pontiff in Rio de Janeiro during the World Youth Day in July.
"(As) the largest country in the number of Catholics, Brazil keenly followed the conclave and the election of the first Latin American pope," Rousseff said.

Failure Is Not An Option

The organization as a whole will consider the proposal next week.
In Passing: Charles Chibitty, 83
The last of the Commanche code talkers, who used the Commanche language to communicate sensitive information over the radio during World War II, died on 20 July.
The Navajo code talkers were more numerous and more famous. Navajo code talkers served in the Pacific Theater. Their lesser known Commanche comrades served in Europe. Choctaw Indians also served as code talkers. Both groups used their native languages, supplemented with coded terms for military jargon that did not exist in those languages, to send indecipherable messages faster than by using conventional codes.
The "code" spoken by the code talkers was not very complex and could have been broken had someone with knowledge of the language been listening, but the fact that almost no non-native speakers of those languages existed and the information they transmitted was tactical in nature and only useful for hours at best, the code talkers proved a very secure way to communicate.
"It's strange, but growing up as a child I was forbidden to speak my native language at school," Chibitty said in 2002. "Later my country asked me to. My language helped win the war, and that makes me very proud."
Moonshot Terms
This past Wednesday was the 36th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon, what is likely to be considered, in centuries to come, the most historic event of the latter half of the 20th century. On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin landed their lunar module, Eagle, in the Sea of Tranquility, while the third member of the team, Michael Collins, orbited the moon in the command module Columbia. The next day, Greenwich Mean Time, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on our planet's closest neighbor.
Historic events are usually accompanied by historic words, if not at the moment in question, then sometime afterwards. In the case of the first lunar landing, many of the most famous words were scripted in advance. The most famous of these the famous sentence of Neil Armstrong's spoken when he first stepped onto the lunar surface:

Tour de France Terms
The Tour de France, or Le Tour, is without a doubt the most famous, and the most grueling, bicycle race in the world. Held each July since 1902 (with breaks during the world wars), this is the 92nd riding of the Tour. This year's tour is 2,237 miles (3,600 km), broken up into 21 stages or daily rides. The tour's route changes from year-to-year, running through different regions of France and with some stages in neighboring countries (this year it's Germany). Of course, this year's Tour is eagerly watched by many because it is Lance Armstrong's last year riding the race. Armstrong has won the last six Tours, the only man to have won that many.
Traditionally, the race starts with short time trial of less than five miles called the prologue. A time trial is a stage where the cyclists ride individually, against the clock alone, without the assistance of teammates. Some time trials are team time trials, where each team rides as a group, but not alongside the other teams. This year, the prologue has been replaced with a longer, 12 mi (19 km) time trial. The final stage of the race is always along the Champs Elysees (literally the Elysian Fields), the famed Parisian avenue. Riders do three circuits of the street, each one about 15 kilometers long at very fast speeds. Winning this final stage is considered quite an honor.
Interesting, But Ultimately Useless
Then there is this website, devoted to Old English terms for information technology concepts:
Trojan War Terms
Most of us are familiar with at least some military slang. We hear it on the news, or in movies, we served in the military at some point. But this week we present a look at some terms associated with a war from very long ago.
These terms are English words and phrases that are associated with the Trojan War, a mythic conflict immortalized in Homer's two epics The Iliad and The Odyssey and in Virgil's Aeneid.
Newspaper Jargon
This week we present a short glossary of newspaper jargon terms:
above the fold, adj., used to describe an article placed on the top half of the front page, so it is visible when the paper is folded. Also below the fold.
agate, n., a small type used in newspapers primarily for statistics (sports, stocks), approximately 5.5 points (1/14 inch) high. An American term (the English equivalent is ruby type) dating to 1838, the name comes from a series of typefaces named after precious stones.
What is uptalking? Do you uptalk? The BBC can help you with the answers. Visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4116788.stm.
Words Of The Street
A toponym is a name of something that denotes a geographical place, usually the place of origin of the thing named. The words spa (a town in Belgium), Watergate (a hotel and office building, site of famous burglary), and rugby (a school in Britain) are toponyms for, respectively, a resort, a political scandal, and a sport.
Among toponyms, a few are street names that have come to be associated with industries and activities located there. Perhaps the most famous is Wall Street, the toponym meaning the US financial markets. The metaphorical use comes from the fact that many of the largest financial institutions have traditionally had their headquarters on that Manhattan Street. The metaphorical usage dates to 1841.
Theories & Intelligent Design
The Kansas State Board of Education is currently debating whether a theory called intelligent design should be used to present criticisms of evolution in Biology classes. The board, which has an evangelical Christian conservative majority, is widely expected to approve a measure that requires criticism of evolution be taught in Kansas schools, but the exact nature and wording of the new policy is still in the works.
The current push for intelligent design as an alternative to evolution has its roots in the US courts striking down the teaching of creation science. Creation science is the teaching of the literal text of Genesis as scientific truth. US federal courts have consistently ruled that creation science is a religious doctrine, not scientific truth and its instruction in public schools is a violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which forbids the establishment of a state religion. Intelligent design skirts this prohibition by not advocating any specific creation story, but rather simply argues that the complexity of nature requires that there be a designer; many organisms and biological structures are too complex to have come about by chance.
Despite the current push for intelligent design being a response to the courtroom failures of creation science, intelligent design is the older of the two terms; it even predates Darwin's concept of evolution by natural selection. The Oxford English Dictionary dates intelligent design to 1847, in an article in Scientific American:

The great store-house of naturethe innumerable and diversified objects there presented to our view give evidence of infinite skill and intelligent design in the adaptation to each other and to the nature of man.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - Although he was a founding member of the Greyboy Allstars and the leader of his own band, Robert Walter remained ambitious. So he moved to New Orleans, a town famous for its music scene and great keyboard players.
By the end of his first week in the Big Easy, Walter had his first gig with some of his heroes. He lived there more than a half-decade before moving to Southern California, where he has plenty of work in the film and television industry.
The New Orleans experience made Walter a better player.
"You played so often and with so many different people and the bands were constantly shifting," he said. "It was good to be forced to play with different players. You have to be able to figure out what you know together or maybe you have to follow along with someone.
"Just learning to interact with a lot of different musicians, everybody teaches you a little bit. That's partly why the players are so good down there I think. They are very adaptable and then they're constantly getting influence and inspiration from all these players. Every night was different."
The lifestyle also was different. It taught the San Diego native to relax.
"I had to get used to everybody being late all the time for everything," he said. "I was used to getting there super early for a gig in case anything goes wrong. There, it was just sort of ridiculous. I would stand around forever and people would show up five minutes before the gig. Nothing ever went wrong. It taught me to loosen up."
Walter began playing music when he was just 7 years old. He helped start the jazz and funk band Greyboy Allstars in 1993 with Karl Denson, Elgin Park, Chris Stillwell, Zak Najor and DJ Greyboy.
He formed Robert Walter's 20th Congress in the late 1990s and recorded albums "Money Shot" and "Giving Up the Ghost." Band members included Cochemea Gastelum (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings), Stanton Moore (Galactic), Joe Russo (Furthur, Benevento, Russo Duo), George Sluppick (Mofro, Chris Robinson Brotherhood), Mike Fratantuno (Black-eyed Peas), Chuck Prada and Will Bernard.
He also recorded "There Goes the Neighborhood" with jazz-funk pioneers Harvey Mason, Chuck Rainey, Phil Upchurch and Red Holloway.
Recently he played on the Stanton Moore Trio's "Groove Alchemy" and Anders Osborne's "American Patchwork."
The Stanton Moore Trio - Moore, Bernard and Walter - played at the Crystal Bay Casino in 2010.
Walter has resurrected the 20th Congress and it plays a four-night tour beginning Wednesday, Oct. 10, in the Crown Room in a doubleheader with the Anders Osborne Band.
Gastelum plays sax, Stillwell is on bass and the new drummer is John Speice from Austin, Texas.
The Greyboy Allstars play about 20 shows a year but expect to play a lot more next year with the release of a new album, Walter said. A new album with the 20th Congress has been recorded but the mixing process is ongoing, he said.

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by Gizah on 2012-02-27 16:15:12
I´m using Garageband and I selected ux1 driver as my desired input device, and it´s working fine. But when I connect my microphone (not a condeser one), I doesn´t get any signal from it. I don´t see an specific select option for microphone with UX1. I don´t want to install PodFarm (which is the answer suggested in other posts) ´cause I don´t like it and for all the bad experiences with drivers and line6 software to make my UX1 work. The second step would be recording my guitar and voice at the same time. Thanks in advance.
by silverhead on 2012-02-27 16:19:43
I'm not familiar with Garageband, but with any recording software I have used you select the device input within the program (Garageband). When you arm a track for recording you also select the input source from among the options that the audio device provides. In this case, using the UX1 as the Garageband audio device, what input options do you see in Garageband that you can select?
Also, make sure you are using a dynamic mic; the UX1 does not provide phantom power.
by Gizah on 2012-02-27 16:39:02
I was editing to add that it´s not a condeser microphone while you were answering (thanks for answering so fast). My Garageband is the spanish version, so I do´t know the exact terms. I go to perferences, then to audio/mid, and there I find the input option with these possibilities: System adjustment (I guess), UX1, built in microphone and built in input. So I´ve selected UX1 which works for tthe guitar.
by silverhead on 2012-02-27 18:06:57
OK - so Garageband is set to use the UX1.
Now, when you set up a track for recording, and you 'arm' it (i.e. you can monitor the incoming sound) you will see a selection area (drop-down menu, or something like that) which allows you to assign an input for the track to record. What are your UX1 input options that you see in Garageband for the track you want to record?
by Gizah on 2012-02-27 18:43:19
Yeap, right there are more options there for input (I´m a garageband/mac newbie he). They are: Mono1 (UX1) to Mono4, and then Stereo 1/2 (UX1) and Stereo 3/4 (UX1).
by silverhead on 2012-02-27 19:36:20
And the Mic Gain knob on top of your UX1 is set to a reasonable level? Do you detect the microphone signal now in Garageband with any of the Input selections?
If not, can you independently test your microphone to ensure that it is working properly?
by Gizah on 2012-02-27 21:47:48
Yeap, the knob is set right. I had tried all the input options... no signal. The mic was working fine last time I played. I can´t check it at the moment, because from that gig I returned just with the cannon to cannon cable... it happens. Anyway, I´m waiting to borrow another microphone, or get another cable to check, as soon as I can. Thanks again.
by Triryche on 2012-02-28 05:20:15
If you are using POD Farm, make sure to select mic from the drop down for input.
If your are not using POD Farm, select mic form the Line6 Audio-MIDI devices control panel.
2 of the 4 sends are dry and the other 2 are wet (I forget which is which off hand, I think 1 and 2 are dry), but you still need to select Instrument or Mic for input.
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 06:04:59
Not sure about Mac, but in Windows (should be similar), make sure you are using the ASIO driver. Go into the ASIO configuration panel and change the Input Source to "Mic"
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 09:50:26
Hello Triryche. I´m not using pod farm. I´ve already selected The mic y Audio-Midi devices control panel. An then select the same channel in garageband. And also tried another settings, in case it would work. But still no signal from my mic.
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 09:56:19
Hello BigCash. I don´t understand deeply about the audio protocols, but I understand that from Mac it is Corel Audio, and it´s supported by UX1, and I guess that is set when you download the mac drivers for the unit. And also, I think that if the guitar is working fine, and I have signal from it when I select "instrument", it has nothing to do with the drivers.
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 10:15:14
Ahh. That may explain it. I believe the core ausio drivers will not give you the option to switch to the other inputs. You don't have to install POD Farm, but you should at least install the latest Line6 drivers if you want to use the XLR input or Line-Ins on your UX1. I do not believe there is any other way around it.
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 10:47:18
I have latest line6 drivers installed (7.1.0)
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 11:04:15
What happens if you hit the "Inputs and Recording" button from that screen?
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 11:10:00
There is where I select the mic for input.
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 11:17:11
I know Core Audio is supposedly the same, but do you have an option for using ASIO audio?
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 11:28:36
Do you mean as a selection somewhere? No I haven´t seen that... nor on line6 system peferences, Mac´s Audio configuration, neither on Garageband settings.
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 11:42:59
When all else fails, install POD Farm 1.12.
The install is not nearly as tricky as with POD Farm 2.51 and it should solve your problem.
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 12:56:21
Thanxs for the suggestions. For latest experiences I don´t want line6 software messing with my system again (if it doesn´t work I don´t want to spend more hours searching manually for all the traces of line6 software installed on diverse unknown locations of my system). And I´m expecting to make it work as I would expect from the features shown at the product´s page (made for you to agree that is the best option for you to buy... at least a big mistake).
Can I use my POD Studio UX1 hardware without POD Farm 2.5?
Yes, you can use your UX1 without POD Farm 2.5
Can I connect other instruments or devices to POD Studio UX1?
Yes. POD Studio UX1 features one 1/4-inch instrument-level input for guitar and bass, a balanced XLR mic input with a high-quality preamp and trim knob and two 1/4-inch inputs for keyboards or other line-level gear. "
I´m also expecting assistance from Line6 Technical support staff:
"If you have serious technical support issues that other community members have not been able to help you resolve, the Line 6 reps are here to sweep in and take over."
Anyway, BigChas, thanks for your time and help.
by BigChas52 on 2012-02-28 13:29:21
You're certainly welcome. Sorry I couldn't help more.
I still suggest installing POD Farm 1.12. I think you'll find that it doesn't have the installation problems that some people see with POD Farm 2.51 on Mac. Additionally, PF 1.12 stand-alone is free. Please give it a try.
by Gizah on 2012-02-28 19:45:19
I tested my microphone and it´s working perfect on my amp. I have a new working perfect microphone and ther´s no signal either.
by Line6Don on 2012-03-09 15:34:40
The above menu that you took a screen shot is where you configure which input source of the UX1 that you will be using. After making your selection, the driver will indicate to you what the REC sends will provide within the DAW.
To use a MIC 1 input select MIC 1 from the input & recording tab of the Line 6 Audio MIDI device menu. This will enable you to use REC sends 1, 2, 3, 4, 1-2, or 3-4 to input the audio from the MIC 1 input.
From there, ensure that the mic is dynamic mic and that it is fully connected with the mic gain turned up. Once you create an audio track, assign it to the REC send you would like to use and than REC enable the track to hear the input of it.

hi, i am having the same issue, and i also dont want to install any pod farms or gearboxes...the guitar is working fine... and i am using ableton live 8. anyway, when you say make a selection on the audio midi device place, when i select any of them, it DOESNT indicate me what rec sends or anytnhing. also i can state that on ableton, the guitar is using both of the inputs signals.and yes i have tried using just instrument signals, mic alone etc but nothing gives me the signal. using a shure sm58.
so again: line 6 audio midi device - inputs and recording - inst & mic 1 - then i cannot use any rec sends, nothing happens, there is no such option. so how can i create an audio track?whats missing here?

If you think we're going to talk about Brett Favre and Cam Newton in the same sentence, you'd be right.
Yes, it's true. Bus Cook wants Favre to tutor Newton.
Take a moment to let that sink in while Reggie Bush considers his options. That is, once he's finished being a complete disappointment in New Orleans.
Given the size of his contract, it's safe to say that Sean Payton has to have something really special in mind for Bush to stay on, since I don't see Bush renegotiating his contract.
The lockout, of course, is still on, so get ready for some legalese at some point today. If not legalese, then I am sure there will be some player somewhere calling Commissioner Roger Goodell a name.
Thanks for stopping by as I run down the headlines.

Russell Wilkinson, one of four suspects in the Nancy Latham murder-for-hire plot, was arraigned this afternoon on four federal counts that could land him behind bars for more than 30 years.
Wilkinson, 39, of Louisville, Ky., said little during the hearing in U.S. District Court in Charleston, and he did not object to Magistrate Judge Bristow Marchant's decision to keep him locked up while the case proceeds.
A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf, though Wilkinson has implicated himself in the crime and provided authorities with a detailed account of how the plot transpired.
Latham, a Mount Pleasant real estate agent who is treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission, watched the proceeding from the gallery but did not address the court. She was accompanied to the courthouse by a private security guard and declined to speak with reporters afterward.
The plot to kill her unraveled when Wilkinson revealed details of the alleged scheme after he was pulled over by Charleston police on April 5 and found to have a .32-caliber pistol and ammunition inside his car, police have said.
Also charged in the case are Samuel Yenawine, 38, of Louisville; his girlfriend, Rachel Palmer, 36, of Louisville, Ky.; and his ex-wife, 37-year-old Wendy Annette Moore, who lives in the Charleston area.
Yenawine appeared in federal court Monday for a detention hearing. A judge opted to postpone the proceeding and keep Yenawine behind bars while his Kentucky lawyer, William Butler, arranged for a local attorney to assist him in Charleston.
Butler filed paperwork late Monday indicating he had secured the services of Charleston lawyer Adam Young to assist him with the case. Butler said this morning he intends to remain lead counsel on the case.
The four defendants are charged with conspiracy and use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Moore and Yenawine also are charged with solicitation of murder for hire. Yenawine and Wilkinson face additional charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Marchant told Wilkinson he faces up to 35 years in prison and $750,000 in fines if he is convicted of the four counts with which he has been charged.
Latham is in the midst of a bitter divorce from her estranged husband, Chris Latham, a Bank of America executive who is vice president of Spoleto Festival USA and a board member of the Trident Technical College Foundation.
In motions in the divorce case and in a separate civil lawsuit, she has accused her husband of plotting with his live-in girlfriend — identified as Wendy Moore — to have her killed.
Chris Latham's attorneys have denied those allegations, and he has not been charged with a crime. In court motions, they have insisted he is in fear for his life because he has allegedly been targeted for harm by his wife and her half brother, a convicted triple-murderer who is out on parole.

Reese Witherspoon, 36, and Drew Barrymore, 38, left babies Tennessee and Olive, both 5 months, at home, and joined pal Cameron Diaz, 40, and five other friends for fitness retreat Bikini Boot Camp at the Amansala Resort in Tulum earlier this month.
"It was a girls trip," says a fellow guest. "They all seemed like great friends who were there to relax and have a good time."
A good time, and a little hard work too.
During free time, the girls lounged on the beach. "Drew and Reese looked great for just having given birth," says the onlooker. "And Cameron is so ripped! She's incredibly fit."
At night, the girls bonded over meals of fresh fish and vegetable soup. "Drew was showing off pictures of her baby on her phone. Everyone was in great spirits the whole time."

on November 6, 2012 - 1:41 AM
By George Hasiotis
The world's premier sports and entertainment design firm, HKS Inc. of Dallas – which developed Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis – has identified Buffalo's waterfront as one of the best locations anywhere for integrating sports, parkland, cultural attractions and water recreation.
Our team has presented the Buffalo Common Council with a bold plan to build a cutting edge, year-round stadium-and-museum complex on Buffalo's outer harbor. The multipurpose stadium will also accommodate myriad other sporting events. The North American Museum of Sports and Culture will channel a steady stream of visitors to downtown Buffalo 362 days yearly. (The Strong, which will operate the museum, currently attracts 600,000 people annually to downtown Rochester – more than the Bills draw.) These days, the NFL demands charisma of all its franchises. So we are asking the city and the state to help us secure this site.
Some commentators whine that Buffalo is a declining mid-sized market that will eventually be unable to support an NFL team. That's a myth. This proud city sits at the pivot point of a 22 million-strong mega-region – the fifth-largest in North America. The economic might of the Toronto-Buffalo-Rochester region surpasses the continent of Australia. We Buffalonians have only to tap it.
More than a century ago, Buffalo's business and political leaders pulled together to build the Pan-American Exposition. Like the Pan-Am, this project properly has begun with private-sector leadership. Professional football will survive here, though, only through a private and public partnership – no more than 30 percent public. Meeting a five- to six-year construction timetable makes it imperative that elected officials and appointed authorities quickly rediscover our earlier collaborative spirit and join in to make land available and plan infrastructure improvements.
Whether you support keeping NFL football here or not, visualize the power this economic engine will generate. Building a 72,000-seat stadium and a 150,000-square-foot museum along with hotels, restaurants and infrastructure upgrades will create 10,000 good-paying construction jobs. These workers will pay taxes, buy houses and send their children to local colleges. Visitors will shop and dine. Up front, this project will attract Canadian investment. Once developed, this urban waterfront will tap millions of travelers. Once up and running, this project will create 4,000 additional, permanent jobs.
Please do not listen to the naysayers, delayers and defeatists who dismiss this project without knowing the details. It's time to hold your reluctant representatives' timid feet to the heat, too. For the economic survival of this region, we must come together – now. If we do, Buffalo will rise again.
George Hasiotis is vice president of Greater Buffalo Sports & Entertainment Complex LLC.

Travelogue: I Can't Believe This Place Exists, but It Does
Dear Kay, I'm up top the mountain in Monteagle, Tennessee, where the hooting dog still hoots, the rooster down the road continues to launch his fake-sounding "cockadoodledoo" at 4:53 am, and swifts have taken up residence in our chimney, chattering like bats all day long.

DeLand, Fla. - Stetson point guard Corey Walden has been named the Atlantic Sun conference Newcomer of the Week for the week ending February 7, 2011. It is the first conference award for the freshman out of Ormond Beach, Florida.
Walden led the Hatters to big win over ETSU Sunday afternoon in the Edmunds Center and in the process became the first Hatter since 2001 to play all 40 minutes of a regulation game. It was last accomplished by Will Robertson against Georgia State on February 17, 2001.
In the win over the Buccaneers Walden led team in scoring with 15 points, rebounding with nine and steals with six. His rebound and steal totals were career-highs. In Friday's loss to USC Upstate Walden distributed a career-high nine assists, had four steals and led team in scoring with 13 points.
On the week Walden averaged 14.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 5.0 steals. He also had one block and shot 11-for-24 (.458) from field.
A serious candidate for conference Freshman of the Year, Walden is currently 2nd in the A-Sun in steals (2.52 per game), 2nd in free throw percentage (.839), 9th in assists (3.29 per game), 11th in assist/turnover ratio (1.10), and 17th in scoring (11.5 points per game).

Dyer, Tenn.
Amber Simmons knows she eventually wants to enter the medical field, and she's gained an internship that is showing her the ins and outs of the medical world.
Simmons, a junior biology major, isn't certain what field of medicine she wants to pursue yet, but in the Pre-Medical Internship Program of West Tennessee Healthcare, which she is participating in, she is able to explore and observe various fields of medicine.
"I've just always liked science," she said, " I find it very interesting."
To obtain the highly sought after internship, Simmons filled out an application and sent three letters of recommendation. From the applications only a few are selected for an interview round before final selections are made. Out of 44 applicants 14 were awarded internships.
"I go and observe over 26 different departments," Simmons said.
She has observed at a mental health facility, a gastrointestinal laboratory, Milan General Hospital, a radiology department and more.
"I've seen quite a few surgeries," she said. "I think it will maybe tell me which department I want to work in or what specialty I want to go into and just give me a better idea what to expect ... my favorite one would be radiology so far."
Though still undecided, Simmons is leaning toward going into pediatrics and hopes to continue her education at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis.
But right now, she is involved in the Honor's Programs at the university she chose to attend for its good student medical school acceptance reputation. Simmons is also a supplemental instructor and tutors students in general chemistry.
"I hold three one-hour sessions each week, just review sessions basically, and I have office hours where they can come ask me questions," Simmons said.

Hear the phrase: 'heart attack" and what do you think? "Most people think that heart attacks occur with a sharp severe pain in the chest," says Lee Memorial Health System cardiologist, Dr. Richard Chazal. That's not always the case. "The thing that people do not always know about heart attacks is that they can be silent."
It's estimated that each year, 200,000 Americans have actually had a heart attack and don't even know it. "In fact, most heart attacks do not occur with a sharp pain, but more of a dull or pressure sensation that feels like indigestion." Silent heart attacks, as they are called, can be just as damaging to the heart as a noticeable heart attack.
Silent heart attacks can also raise the risk of another attack down the road. "It's important that people at risk of cardiac disease, family history, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, inactivity, are carefully evaluated by their physician for risk factors so that they don't put themselves at risk of a heart attack even in the absence of typical symptoms," warns Dr. Chazal.
Knowing the silent signals are important: mild indigestion, dizziness, weakness, sweating, and sudden fatigue may all be symptoms of a silent heart attack. Never hesistate to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
