All About the Noble Yam
Mmmmm. Do you know everything there is to know about the noble yam, besides that it's delicious? Check this out from Dianne Onstad's Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and Lovers of Natural Foods. It's a great gift book for the holidays, too, for all your food-lovin' friends and family.
(Dioscorea rotundata, D. cayenensis, D. composita)
The genus name Dioscorea was given in honor of Dioscorides, a Greek physician and naturalist of the first or second century A.D. The term rotundata means "rotund" or "portly"; cayenensis means "coming from Cayenne," the island that is the capital of French Guiana; composita means "composite." The English name yam is of African origin, coming from the Guinean verb nyami, meaning "to eat."
General Information
Yams are large, tuberous roots largely confined to the tropics of West Africa and Asia, although they are found in a few
other tropical regions. In the United States, yams can be grown only in the Deep South. Not to be confused with the American "yam," which is just another name for a moist-fleshed variety of sweet potato, true yams may grow to a remarkable size, up to six feet long and more than six hundred pounds. Instead of growing underground like potatoes,
yams grow on plants and hang from plant stems. Their weight causes the stems to bend to the soil, and the yams become partially embedded like an exposed underground tuber. Every country and district that grows yams has its own particular favorite that it cultivates, harvests, and cooks. In some Pacific Islands yams are venerated as nature's pantry, for they can be left in the ground to grow to an enormous size. Their flesh may be white, yellow, red, or even purple. Of the more than six hundred species, those most commonly encountered are brown, black-brown, or rusty tan, and all are shaggy-coated. Common types are elephant's foot or suram, taro or dasheen, and the cocoyam, all of which look similar to enormous potatoes. The boniato looks like a sweet potato with its ruddy pink skin but has white flesh; a bit tubbier than the American sweet potato, it has flesh that is drier—more like that of a regular white potato.
In 1936 Japanese chemists formulated by partial synthesis steroidal sapogenins, primarily diosgenin, from the glycoside saponins richly found in the barbasco, a wild yam native to Mexico. By 1940 diosgenin was able to be converted into progesterone, an intermediary in cortisone production. While progesterone can be derived from diosgenin, this can only be done by a chemist in the laboratory; humans cannot produce progesterone in their bodies from yams or their extracts. In 1956 Dr. Gregory Pincus announced that he had formulated a drug that would stop ovulation and hence prevent conception. Up to that time, steroids that prevented conception had to be taken by injection, whereas it now became possible to use oral administration. Although most birth-control pills are wholly synthetic today, dioscorea still figures in their origin. Other steroid drugs derived from diosgenin include anti-inflammatory compounds such as topical hormones and systemic corticosteroids, androgens, estrogens, progestogens, and other sex-hormone combinations.
Buying Tips
Choose yams that are regularly shaped and very hard, with no cracks or soft or shrunken spots. Although they are available in many sizes, those with the best flavor weigh less than two or three pounds. Sometimes the yams will be cut open to show how moist and creamy the interior is; if not, scrape one with your fingernail to see if it is juicy. Store as you would potatoes—never in the refrigerator but rather in the potato bin or any cool, dry, dark place. Yams are most often available in Latino and Asian markets. Frequently you can buy them by the piece, according to the weight you need.
Culinary Uses
Yams have a flavor and texture much like a mealy potato—loose, coarse, dry, and rather bland. The raw flesh is crisp,
slippery, and mucilaginous. As versatile as the potato, yams can be boiled, roasted, mashed, fried, or made into casseroles; they are a perfect foil for strong, spicy vegetable mixtures. They absorb other flavors well but are enhanced by a sprinkling of sweet spice such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, or allspice. Unlike potatoes, the skin is not
edible so should be removed. Wash under running water and then peel thickly to remove both the skin and the layer beneath. All yams contain dioscorine, which is poisonous (although cooking completely destroys it); this lies near the
peel. Cut the yam into whatever size pieces you want. If not cooking at once, keep in salted water, because yam discolors
easily. Added to soups or stews, yam's delicate nutty flavor will sweeten the pot. Frequently it is used in place of sweet
potatoes in stews, chilies, and soups. On the islands where the boniato is a common food, people are fond of turning
it into chips, much as we do with the common potato.
Lore and Legend: It may well be that yams are worshiped because they can become awesomely huge. In the Pacific
Island of Ponape, the size of yams is described as two-man, four-man, or six-man, designating the number of men needed to lift the tuber. Tubers up to six feet long and weighing six hundred pounds have been recorded. The Trobriand Islanders build intricately decorated wooden "yam houses" where the splendid tubers are ensconced to be viewed by neighbors. In Cuba, yams are considered festival food, to be saved for special occasions.
Health Benefits
pH 5.79–6.81 (cooked). Antiarthritic, antispasmodic, diuretic, emmenagogue. The yam is hailed as a medicinal tonic for many uses, working as an agent to prevent miscarriages and to treat asthma. It also contains simple peptide substances called phytochelatins that can bind heavy metals like cadmium, copper, mercury, and lead and thus help detoxify the body. Those species of yam containing diosgenin are medicinally efficacious for fatigue, inflammation, spasms, stress, colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, PMS, and menopausal complaints. The yam's plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) seems to act as a key to unlock and potentiate existing estrogen in the body, thus eliminating or easing many of the symptoms of low estrogen.

City officials last week began their annual work on making several clean sweeps through the neighborhoods in the annual leaf pickup and collection program.
Safety/Service Director Scott Thomas said Friday the program, which began Monday, is set to run through Dec. 7 this year. As in previous years, there will be more than one sweep through the city.
"We're planning on making three sweeps through the city this year," Thomas said. "Each street will receive a minimum of three sweeps, just as as been done in recent years."
This year's pickup begins on the west side of North Olmsted and will work its way east.
"Right now, we're expecting the first pickup sweep to take two to three weeks to go through the city," Thomas said. "But, we still encourage people to put them out as quickly as possible so they're ready in case they're moving through the work quickly. It still will be a few weeks in between the different sweeps."
Thomas said the second sweep is expected to last three to five weeks because of a higher volume of material, while the third and last scheduled one will take two to three weeks to complete, he said.
Paul Schumann, chairman of city council's environmental committee, said he like the program being like last year's.
"It saves a few thousand dollars because we don't have people waiting around like if they set a specific time period like a week for one area," he said. "We just start in one area and move through another and then we go back through at least twice."
If people want additional information or want to get an idea of where the workers are they can call the leaf information line at (216) 524-6668.

Procedures for rapid measurement of canopy photosynthesis are needed because current methods are time consuming and labor intensive. Our objective was to demonstrate that daily increases in nonstructural carbohydrates of shoots provide a good estimate of daily canopy photosynthesis for rice (Oryza sativa L.). Four cultivars— 'IR72', 'IR64', 'IR50', and 'YRL39'— were grown in the field on a verlic tropaquept clay soil. Canopy photosynthesis was measured in the field every 2 h from sunrise (0600 h) to sunset (1800 h) and plotted over time to determine daily photosynthesis. Increases in shoot nonstructural carbohydrates per day were calculated by subtracting sunrise concentrations from those at sunset. Highly significant positive relationships between daily canopy photosynthesis and irradiance (r2 = 0.999) and leaf soluble sugars and irradiance (r2 = 0.981) were observed. Coefficients of determination for relationships between daily canopy photosynthesis and daily increases in leaf soluble sugars were high (r2 = 0.987). Growth stage comparisons showed the highest coefficients of determination at panicle initiation because non-structural carbohydrates in the shoot were dependent on canopy light interception and photosynthesis. Relationships during flowering were intermediate because the spikelet was the main carbon sink. Removal of panicles at flowering increased coefficients of determination to r2 = 0.8. Relationships among cultivars for daily irradiance versus daily canopy photosynthesis or daily increases in leaf soluble sugars had r2 values of 0.7 to 1.0. We conclude that measuring daily increases in leaf carbohydrates can provide a simple, rapid screening procedure for evaluating canopy photosynthesis in rice.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Wichita The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts is seeking to suspend the medical license of a Haysville physician charged with illegally prescribing drugs in a scheme prosecutors allege caused the deaths of at least four patients.
The emergency order seeking the suspension of Dr. Stephen Schneider's license was filed Thursday with the Office of Administrative Hearings. Schneider, 54, and his wife, Linda, 49, face 34 federal charges centered on writing prescriptions for painkillers and other narcotic drugs.
It was not known when the case would go before an administrative law judge for a hearing, Kelli Stevens, litigation counsel for the board, told The Wichita Eagle. Stevens did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press on Friday.
Approval of the motion would result in the suspension of Stephen Schneider's medical license until the board's full case against him was resolved, Stevens said.
The petition was prompted in part by a 68-page federal indictment released last week. According to the indictment, 56 of Schneider's patients have died from accidental prescription drug overdoses in the last five years. However, the indictment alleges that only four deaths were directly caused by drugs Schneider's clinic prescribed and that the drugs were a contributing factor in 11 other deaths.
"The information available to the grand jury was not brought to light until the indictment was filed," said board Executive Director Larry Buening.
Schneider's court-appointed attorney, Jay Greeno, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment Friday.
At hearing last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald Bostwick ordered that Schneider and his nurse wife remain in jail pending trial.
During the hearing, Greeno told the judge that Steven Schneider "still has patients out there that still need him." Greeno also said his client did not want to surrender his license as prosecutors had requested as a condition of release because he has patients with "real health issues" that need his care.
Although Schneider is jailed without bond, the board's petition noted that his clinic could continue to provide medical care because he still has an active license. Suspension of his license would mean the clinic could no longer operate.

POLICE are today looking to identify a body found in the River Ouse near York after recovering it from the water.
The body was discovered at about 11am yesterday by a member of the public walking along the riverbank at Acaster Malbis, but conditions hampered attempts to recover it.
North Yorkshire Police said the body has now been taken to York Hospital and the search for clues about who the person is was continuing today.
This will include speaking to neighbouring police forces to establish whether the person may have come from their area.
It is not believed that the body is that of missing York accountant Chris Baker, 29, who was last seen jumping over the wall of Skeldergate Bridge on the banks of the river after leaving his car on Thursday, December 20.
A search of the River Ouse as part of the investigation into his disappearance was today resuming.
Searches of the river have previously taken place, but high water levels following recent heavy rain have caused difficulties. Officers from the Regional Underwater Search Unit will today focus on the Skeldergate area.
Anybody who has information about Mr Baker's disappearance should phone North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option two and ask for the force control room.

LONDON — The long-running tabloid newspaper scandal that has shaken Rupert Murdoch's global media empire delivered a new jolt on Tuesday as its powerful and lucrative television operations moved to the center of a British judicial inquiry with disclosures that a senior cabinet minister, or at least an aide claiming to speak for him, worked covertly to help win approval for a $12 billion takeover of the BSkyB network.
A trove of newly released e-mails pointed to hand-in-glove collaboration between a lobbyist for Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation and the office of Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt, the official designated to pass judgment on the BSkyB bid. That deal, which would have crowned Mr. Murdoch's 60-year media career, was scuttled last year as the scandal over illicit phone hacking exploded, and now appears out of his reach for years, if not permanently.
Mr. Murdoch's son James testified at the inquiry for five hours on Tuesday, and Mr. Murdoch himself was to take the stand on Wednesday for what was forecast, given the new uproar, to be an intense grilling. Mr. Murdoch has been in London since Thursday, conferring with a coterie of advisers, lawyers and communications consultants behind closed doors.
In recent months, he was able to pivot his attention to other pieces of his empire, but over the past couple of weeks he has been almost wholeheartedly committed to preparing for his London testimony, according to a person close to his company who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Prime Minister David Cameron seemed certain to face renewed scrutiny of his relationship to the Murdochs and their business interests on Wednesday, when he was to appear before Parliament for the weekly session of prime minister's questions.Continue reading the main story
Over the last year, the ever-growing scandal has exposed unsavory and sometimes illegal interlocking ties among figures in the government, political leadership, law enforcement and News International, the British newspaper arm of Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation, along with Britain's other free-wheeling media outlets. The disclosures on Tuesday cemented concerns that the phone hacking scandal had seeped even more deeply into News Corporation operations.
News International underscored that the 161 pages of e-mails had been subpoenaed as part of the inquiry, not volunteered, but some critics saw an ancillary benefit in the day's events to the Murdoch strategy in the scandal, since the disclosures about apparent cronyism in the BSkyB bid had the effect of shifting some of the focus to the government.
In the e-mails, Frédéric Michel, News Corporation's chief lobbyist in Britain, was depicted as pushing relentlessly for government approval of a News Corporation takeover of the 61 percent stake that it did not already own in BSkyB, Britain's leading satellite TV network. The network generates billion-dollar annual profits and is increasingly a serious competitor to the BBC.
With a market capitalization of about $20 billion, BSkyB offered News Corporation a platform to increase its stake in the lucrative pay-TV business while reducing the importance of its legacy, and problematic, newspaper assets. The company now finds itself in a tricky spot: its 39.1 percent stake in BSkyB is enough to make it responsible for any misfires, like the recent disclosures by Sky News that it had engaged twice in illegal e-mail hacking in pursuit of stories, without having real control.
The deal was vehemently opposed by many competing media organizations and by others who argued that Mr. Murdoch, with control of publications that had 40 percent of Britain's total newspaper circulation, already had a degree of influence and power, particularly over politicians, that was unhealthy for Britain.
Still, Mr. Cameron assigned Mr. Hunt quasi-judicial powers to approve the takeover.
The e-mails tracked an intense back-and-forth during that period between Mr. Michel and Adam Smith, a political aide in Mr. Hunt's office. Mr. Smith's e-mails depict Mr. Hunt as an avid supporter of the BSkyB takeover and ready, in effect, to manipulate the approval process in the Murdochs' favor, in part by giving the lobbyist — and through him, James Murdoch — advance notice of government moves.
In one of the messages, the Hunt aide told the Murdoch lobbyist that he had "managed to get some info" on what Mr. Hunt would say about the bid in Parliament the next day, adding, in brackets, "although absolutely illegal!"
That and other messages were forwarded to James Murdoch, Mr. Murdoch's 39-year-old son and until recently the head of the family's media interests in Britain, who has maintained in earlier appearances before the inquiry that he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing on his watch. On Tuesday, he responded to questions about the "absolutely illegal!" comment with what appeared to be a weary impatience. "I thought it was a joke," he said, adding that the use of an exclamation point confirmed it. "It's a wink, a joke," he said.
Other e-mails had the aide assuring the lobbyist that Mr. Hunt was "keen to get to the same objective" as the Murdochs — approval of the takeover bid — but needed "political cover."
Government spokesmen suggested that the bantering tone of the e-mails, could have reflected the desire of the aide and the lobbyist to inflate their influence in the affair, and were not necessarily an accurate reflection of Mr. Hunt's approach.
In a statement, Mr. Hunt dismissed criticisms as "knee-jerk" and said "some of the evidence reported meetings and conversations that simply didn't happen." He said he had asked the judge in charge of the inquiry, Brian Leveson, to move up his scheduled appearance so he could show that he had "conducted this process with scrupulous fairness."
As the e-mails were read out, James Murdoch maintained the same seemingly confident, unflustered demeanor he had displayed through hours of relentless questioning by the inquiry's chief counsel on his failure to act sooner to clean up the phone hacking abuses at the two Murdoch-owned tabloids. Over and over again, he insisted that the e-mail exchanges, at least on the part of News Corporation, amounted to a normal part of "active public affairs engagement" by a company involved in a major takeover bid.
He did confirm that he had met 12 times with Mr. Cameron when he was still opposition leader, before the 2010 election. But he rejected suggestions that he had used the meetings — or the promise that the Sun tabloid, with its millions of readers, would give editorial backing to Conservatives on the ballot, given to Mr. Cameron in person by Mr. Murdoch eight months before the election — to lock in Conservative support for the takeover bid.
Mr. Cameron was embarrassed last year when official logs revealed that his first visitor at Downing Street, the morning after he took office, was Rupert Murdoch, and that Mr. Murdoch entered clandestinely, by the back door. The prime minister has said that the BSkyB bid was not discussed on that occasion.
But in the inquiry testimony, James Murdoch acknowledged he had raised the issue in a "tiny, side conversation" with Mr. Cameron at a pre-Christmas dinner in 2010 at the country home of Rebekah Brooks, then the chief executive of the Murdoch newspaper subsidiary in Britain, and now one of the 46 people, mostly with links to the two Murdoch tabloids, who have been arrested by the police as they look into wrongdoing at the tabloids.
The new furor spread quickly to Parliament, with the deputy leader of the opposition Labour Party, Harriet Harman, demanding that Mr. Hunt, a 45-year-old, Oxford-educated former public relations entrepreneur, resign.
Mr. Hunt said in a statement that he would not resign and that he would give his version of his contacts with News Corporation in his own testimony at the inquiry. He was backed in his refusal to step down by Mr. Cameron, who issued a statement saying that Mr. Hunt had his "full confidence."Continue reading the main story

Chicago, IL, United States, 2009/07/15 - Collaborative mind mapping site MindMeister wins award for excellence in teaching and learning by prestigious American media association.
The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) announces a new resource for school library media specialists and their teacher colleagues. The Best Websites for Teaching and Learning, a list honoring the top twenty-five Internet sites for enhancing learning and curriculum development, is considered the "best of the best" by AASL.
The Top 25 Web sites for Teaching and Learning were named so because they foster the qualities of innovation, creativity, active participation and collaboration. The Websites honored include: Animoto; Classroom 2.0; Curriki; Diigo; Edublogs; Facebook; Good Reads; Google Reader; Mindmeister; Ning; Our Story; Partnership for 21st Century Skills; Polleverywhere; Primary Access; RezED; Second Life; Simply Box; Skype; SOS for Information Literacy; Teacher Tube; Twitter; VoiceThread; Wikispaces; Wordle; and Zoho.
The task force worked very hard to target websites that support learner-centered, inquiry based curriculum. In the hands of knowledgeable educators, these innovative and versatile Web 2.0 tools and resources can be used to engage and motivate students in the learning process and to develop 21st century skills, said AASL Best List Task Force Chair, Pam Berger.

Hype Williams Changed Hip-Hop
via massappeal.com
The prolific, innovative and imaginative director Harold "Hype" Williams was honored at the 2017 VH1 Hip-Hop honors this week—and deservingly so. Hip-hop wouldn't be the same without Williams, whose flashy, weird and wonderful vision came to life across countless music videos—especially in the '90s and early 2000s. From Q-Tip's "Breathe and Stop" to The Notorious BIG + Puff Daddy + Mase's "Mo Money Mo Problems," and countless memorable videos for Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes and OutKast, Williams changed music videos forever. Head over to Mass Appeal, where the team selected 91 of their favorite Hype Williams videos.
Susan Bennett Explains How She Became the Voice of Siri
via typeform.com
Susan Bennett's voice has always been special. Back at the start of her career, she toured as a back-up singer for musicians like Burt Bacharach and Roy Orbison, while also singing jingles. In July 2005, however, she took on a recording project: recording jibberish phrases for one month. It was for the text-to-speech company ScanSoft, a phone messaging system that would ultimately become Siri. Through the nonsense recordings, Bennett provided ScanSoft with all the sounds of the English language. Once in the hands of programmers, those sounds grew into the sassy virtual assistant we know today. Bennett's story, in full over at Type Form, is a fascinating one.
5,000+ Objects Coming to the International Spy Museum
via smithsonianmag.com
Spy Museum board member H Keith Melton is kindly offering up some 5,000+ personally collected objects to the collection. Since the 1970s, Melton has been gathering all kinds of trickery and tools used by spies—from a piece of a spy plane to "the axe used to hack exiled Soviet communist Leon Trotsky to death and even a 13-foot-long spy submarine from World War II." Unsurprisingly these sometimes sensitive espionage artifacts were collected in equally sly ways—Melton apparently smuggled one item from Soviet Russia in his cheek. Read more at Smithsonian.
YuMi the Robot Conducts Tenor Andrea Bocelli
via abb.com
In a program titled "A breath of hope: from the Stradivarius to the robot," YuMi the dual-armed robot made its debut as a conductor. Through the compositions of Verdi, YuMi directed none other than world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli in singing "La Donna è Mobile," the aria from "Rigoletto" as well as many other performers. YuMi is the invention of ABB—and he was built as a collaborative, or self-learning, robot. With conducting an orchestra being considered one of the highest forms of art, YuMi's success reflects a true feat of engineering wherein a machine adopted subtle human gestures and applied them to the music accordingly. Learn more about YuMi's development over at ABB's website.

Laylah Amatullah Barrayn's new book "Mfon: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora" represents a much-needed testament to the power of black women photographers. The first of its kind since Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe's "Viewfinders: Black Women Photographers," back in 1986, Barrayn's compilation includes work from "100 female photographers of the African diaspora," according to Quartz. Through funding from the Brooklyn Arts Council and a crowdfunding campaign, the book will become available next month—and it will be the start of an annual publication. Head over to Quartz for an informative interview with Barrayn.
Jean-Michel Basquiat's Unconventional Personal Style
via theguardian.com
The incredibly talented Jean-Michel Basquiat has been studied for his art for decades, but in a new Guardian article, his sense of style nabs the attention. An important part of his life, fashion was central to Basquiat—in fact, his mother designed clothes and he spent time painting apparel for Patricia Field. "Basquiat's wardrobe was distinctive, whether he was in mismatched blazer and trousers with striped shirt and clashing tie, or patterned shirt with a leather jacket pushed off his shoulders. He was perhaps most recognisable in his paint-splattered Armani suits." Read more at The Guardian.
The Lightest Form Of Water Yet Discovered: Gel-like Ice
via newscientist.com
It may come as a surprise to most that there's not just one type of ice. In fact, there are 17—varying substantially in structure and weight—and an 18th "in development." Only two types appear naturally on Earth, the common hexagonal version and upper-atmosphere cubic ice, but scientists have been able to produce "a type of porous, lightweight 'aeroice'" according to New Scientist. Pressure causes variations as water freezes in a more dense fashion under intense conditions. But Masakazu Matsumoto, at Okayama University in Japan, recently found two lightweight versions, one of which is gel-like and at an ultralow-density. And they did so by playing "molecular Jenga" to make it happen.
Translating Human Languages into Elephant Gestures
via news.nationalgeographic.com
Thanks to the "Hello in Elephant" website, launched back in August, it's very easy to translate human words—and emotions—to elephant gestures. A project developed by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and ElephantVoices, the site also contains a service that allows visitors to send these gesture videos to loved ones. It's altogether remarkable, educational and beautiful. The real goal, however, is to raise awareness of elephant poaching and human conflict—with a decline from 400,000 today to 190,000 in 2025 predicted.
Samsung's Foldable Phones
via mashable.com
Just hours before Apple's big announcements yesterday, Samsung had one of its own. Next year, in 2018, the tech giant plans to release a foldable cellphone. "The Korean electronics conglomerate is aggressively seeking new ways to stand out in an increasingly congested consumer tech marketplace" and a bendable phone is certainly the opposite of the iPhone.

Marriage Equality Pioneer Edith Windsor Dies at 88
via nytimes.com
In a landmark Supreme Court ruling, Edie Windsor had 1996's Defense of Marriage Act dismantled in 13 states and the District of Columbia—a crucial step toward nationwide marriage equality. Windsor spent 40 years living with partner Thea Spyer (and the two were married in Canada). When Spyer passed, Windsor inherited her estate but was denied unlimited spousal exemption. She sued for federal recognition as a spouses, regardless of gender in marriage. Her win helped push the bar toward 2015's Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriages are recognized by the federal government. From that time forward, Windsor has been accepted as a gay-rights matriarch.

WASHINGTON (Oct. 7)
Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland said here today that he knew the difficulties of two religions in one household.
Commenting on interracial marriage and the difficulties of racial integration, during an address at the National Press Club here, Mr. Welensky said that he was a Jew, married for 35 years to a Christian lady. He termed marriage an affair of individual choice and indicated that his own was a successful one.
The Prime Minister refused to comment on Israeli differences with the Union of South Africa over racism. He said that he had enough troubles of his own and did not wish to get involved in the problems of other nations.

Old School Windows 95 Video: Starring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry
Apparently before Jennifer Aniston was known for carrying her beloved BlackBerry around with her everywhere she goes, she had a brief stint as a promo girl for Microsoft. Molly found this hilarious promotional instructional Windows 95 video starring Aniston and Matthew Perry, which must have been made soon after Friends first aired. It features Aniston and Perry taking a tour of Bill Gates' office, or what Perry calls "Ground Zero of personal computing - the nerve center of the world's biggest software company." Predictably, Aniston plays the "goof" who learns how to launch programs and upgrade to Windows 95, which she says is "easier than changing your dry cleaner." Also prominent, the signature Rachael do. It's too wonderful people, too wonderful.
This video is part one in a four video series - yes, it gets better! To watch the other videos,

Katie and Suri Go North Again to Shop and Visit Tom in Canada
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise stuck together last night to shop around downtown Vancouver and pick up drinks from Jugo Juice. The girls are back in Canada saying hi to Tom Cruise as he shoots Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol after venturing north of the border for the same reason a few weeks ago. Katie and Suri did go back to LA between Canadian visits so that the busy working mom could shoot Jack and Jill. Suri was able to join Katie on set as well, and even made a few new furry friends in the process. Katie's next stop may be at Sundance, where her movie Son of No One is set to debut with the confirmed attendance of her costar Channing Tatum.

Games by GSN is ready to celebrate the 4th of July in its casino Facebook game, as a new, themed version of Video Bingo is now available for eager gamers. Video Bingo: The 4th in Philly offers players up to four active cards at once, and allows them to choose their bet-amount-per-card before beginning. The game is presented with a patriotic background, complete with fireworks and famous architecture, which should put players in the mood to celebrate the US holiday later this week.
After players have completed a round of Bingo, they have the option of firing a canon onto the screen. This cannon triggers free daubs on cards, which may unlock a Bingo that wasn't present before.
Existing Games by GSN fans may recognize the gameplay here, as it builds off of that in the previous version of Video Bingo: Sparkler Sprint. As players complete games and create winning Bingo cards, they'll receive fireworks which can be activated to collect in-game collection items. For instance, players need to collect three items in the "Philadelphia" collection to receive 250,000 tokens.
Players who won fireworks during the Sparkler Sprint event can use them for prizes in this new version of the game, marking the first time two limited edition versions of Video Bingo have been linked together both in theme and in function.
Finally, Fred the bald eagle (named after the game's designer) will give players extra help while playing, by daubing numbers on multiple Bingo cards. If players use him three times during a single game, their winnings multiply. Gamers receive their first canon and bald eagle for free, and can purchase additional units with real money.
The Video Bingo Fireworks celebration will end on July 28. Games by GSN and Video Bingo: The 4th in Philly are available to play for free on Facebook.

CPU Upgrade issue
Jim Cockfield wrote:
there are many variables involved with CPU upgrades. Sometimes you'll see more than one version of the same CPU model (with wattage differences, B2 versus B3 stepping levels, and more).
Some Motherboards will not support higher wattage CPUs, and the Phenom X4 9850 was offered in both 95 watt and 125 Watt TDP versions.
So, if I had to guess, you bought a higher wattage 125 Watt 9850, and your motherboard only supports the 95 Watt version of it. That's a pretty common thing with Motherboards with AM2+ support (not allowing CPUs with a TDP more than 95 Watts).
Yep. That's what I figured (your motherboard won't support the 125 Watt version of the CPU you bought).
The CPU you ordered is a 125 Watt TDP model, and that motherboard only supports CPUs with up to a 95 Watt TDP.
They left that out of the specs if you click on the Motherboard information for your desktop model here (there is a line for TDP if you click on the Motherboard Link and look at Processor Upgrade information, but they neglected to fill it in, leaving the TDP information blank:
But, if you look at other listings for that Motherboard model used in your desktop, which is a PenM2N78-LA (Violet3), you'll find that max TDP is listed as 95 Watts under Processor Upgrade information. Here's one example for it in a different desktop (same Motherboard model, different desktop model, only they filled in the TDP info which was missing from the specs for your desktop model):
So, even though the motherboard may support the AMD Phenom X4 9850 CPU if you upgrade the BIOS to the latest version (and the listing for processor upgrade info for your desktop does specifically mention the Phenom X4 9850, so the latest BIOS should support it), you'll need to stick with a 95 Watt TDP version of that CPU, as that motherboard won't support a CPU with higher wattage requirements.
IOW, you'll need the HD9850WCJ4BGH (95 Watt TDP) versus HD9850XAJ4BGH (125 Watt TDP) version if you want to use a Phenom X4 9850 with your Motherboard.
Again, that's a very common limitation with many motherboards (not being able to support CPUs with a TDP higher than 95 Watts), and it sounds like you're finding that out the hard way. Hopefully, your vendor will allow you to return it for a different CPU.
But, I'd be very careful and make sure the specific part number for a CPU you order is supported by that Motheboard (and I'd check forums to make sure other users of it were able to get it to work). Another good way to see what works is to figure out exactly what CPU models a vendor sold with a given PC model, making sure to notice things like stepping differences (B2 versus B3) and TDP ratings (95 Watts versus 125 Watts) for that type of Motherboard. See some Phenom CPU part numbers here:
The Motherboard will need to support a specific CPU part number you want to use in tt from a Wattage and socket perspective, and the BIOS will need to support the CPU want to use in one, too. So, that's why it's a really good idea to figure out exactly what part numbers were offered by the vendor when upgrading, making sure you're on the latest BIOS version that supports a given CPU model, too.

It's that time of year again – time to do your last minute shopping and satisfy the gamer needs of your family, friends and other loved ones. Rather than rushing out and buying a forgettable game, though, how about getting those ideal stocking stuffers that they'll love? If you need assistance with that, don't worry, we're here to help!
This guide provides 10 great picks for the PlayStation 3. Despite the fact that Sony moved on to the new PlayStation 4, there's still plenty of folks who prefer this console. With that, here are 10 selections that are sure to make someone's holiday even brighter!
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (Square Enix)
Kingdom Hearts easily stands as one of the best role-playing adventures from the previous generation, with its delightful mix of strategic action and Disney-based universes. Square Enix somehow made the game even better with HD 1.5 ReMIX, which features the "final cut" of the original game, as well as Re:Chain of Memories and the story sequences from 358/2 Days. On top of that, the refreshing new presentation makes the games look better than ever before.
Batman: Arkham Origins (WB Games)
The Dark Knight returns in this all-new prequel, and if you've got comic book friends, they're sure to love this. Batman returns to take on a slew of villains, including new favorites like Deathstroke and the Electrocutioner, as well as the returning Joker. Featuring a larger city to explore, a number of Bat toys to take advantage of and gameplay that will keep players fighting and swooping through the sky, this is one Origins tale worth telling.
NBA 2K14 (2K Sports)
Who doesn't like basketball? Oh, sure, Knicks fans may be taking a beating right now, but with 2K Sports' thrilling simulation, anyone can be a champion. With second-to-none gameplay that gives players ultimate control over everything their team is doing on the court, the game truly shines. On top of that, the presentation really goes a long way to recreating the ambience of each arena, including cheering crowds and authentic organ music. Throw in additional modes and online play, and you've got a slam dunk for your devoted sports fans.
Bioshock Infinite (2K Games)
One of the most startlingly original first-person shooter adventures in years, Bioshock Infinite is a great pick. This game comes jam-packed with action, as well as a vivid aerial city that you can explore as you attempt to find Elizabeth and avoid the wicked grasp of the mighty Songbird. With plenty of innovative weapons, challenging side modes and gorgeous visuals, this is a game that's easy to recommend.
Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus (SCEA)
Insomniac Games may have been keeping busy with efforts on other consoles – like this year's Fuse and the forthcoming Sunset Overdrive for Xbox One – but that didn't stop it from producing another entertaining chapter in the Ratchet and Clank saga. Into the Nexus wraps up the Future series in style, with the duo chasing after a pair of intergalactic thugs out to wreak havoc across the universe. With a number of new weapons, signature action gameplay and a fairly affordable price of $19.99, this is perfect for anyone who loves a good adventure.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (Ubisoft)
It's amazing how you'll be able to fit an epic pirate adventure into someone's stocking – but that's just what you can do with the latest in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series. With hours' worth of missions to complete – both pirating related and side duties like treasure hunting and whaling – this game has replay value galore. Throw in beautiful visuals that really make players feel like they're walking on a tropical island and great music – gotta love those shanties – and it's easy to see why it's a hearty addition to our list. All you have to do now is include a parrot and an eye patch in the package, and maybe a book on how to speak pirate. ARRRRRR!
Gran Turismo 6 (SCEA)
The latest in Polyphony Digital's simulation racing series just cleared the starting gate, and if you have a friend or family member with a penchant for getting behind the wheel of a sleek ride, this experience can't be beat. Gran Turismo 6 is easily the best looking entry to date, with a number of tracks to race worldwide and over 1,000 sweet rides to choose from. It also has a vast online community, as well as the kind of gameplay players can really sink their driving mitts into. With new features and DLC planned in the months ahead, it shows no signs of slowing down.
DuckTales Remastered (Capcom)
If you have friends or family that grew up in the 80s, chances are they fondly remember the Disney Afternoon programming block – in which DuckTales, a series focusing on Scrooge McDuck and his family, was a highlight. Now they've returned with Capcom's glorious DuckTales Remastered, a remake of the classic NES game. Featuring solid music from Jake Kaufman, the original voice cast from the 80's cartoon and plenty of cane-hopping gameplay, this game is a blast for all ages. Plus, it's very affordable, clocking in at just $20. That's enough to make anyone go, "Whoo-hoo!"
The Last of US (SCEA)
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is without question one of the finest games we've played. Focusing on a pair of survivors trying to work their way across a war-battered countryside while battling the odds thrown against them, the game introduces plenty of dramatic themes, but also thought-provoking gameplay that will have players plotting their next moves wisely. Also, the graphics and voiceovers are among the best you'll find for the system, and the multiplayer is surprisingly addictive. If you've got older friends that don't mind the more mature themes, The Last of Us is definitely a purchase worth making.
Madden NFL 25 (EA Sports)
Finally, there are a lot of folks out there who love football, so why not gift them the ultimate simulation from EA Sports? Madden NFL 25 covers every aspect of the sport almost perfectly, whether they're into heavy passing, the running game or coming from behind on a defensive play. It also serves each team well – even those New York Giants – so they can create a Super Bowl contender in no time. Finally, the online community thrives with various players, and between direct competition and Fantasy Football elements, there's plenty to do. This one easily scores a touchdown with us – and it will with you as well.

VIEWERS blasted Phillip Schofield yesterday after he admitted ignoring his baby daughter's screams — and sitting outside her bedroom for hours with a glass of wine.
The host, 50, said on ITV's This Morning: "Our first daughter wouldn't sleep.
"Eventually we had a barbecue and that night I said, 'I'm done with this.' So I sat on the landing with a glass of wine and let her cry.
"She screamed for an hour, two hours. Eventually she went to sleep. It was like breaking a horse."
Parents took to the show's Facebook page. Angela Oldroyd wrote: "I cannot believe you are justifying this."

One of the founders of the internet said in a keynote address at the annual Metropolitan Communications Conference in San Francisco yesterday that the system was doing just fine, in spite of general economic woes.
Lawrence Roberts was, from 1967 until 1973, director of information processing techniques at Arpa (Advanced Research Projects Agency), where he designed ARPAnet, the first incarnation of the internet.
He said internet traffic is still growing rapidly and he predicts a surge in high-end internet hardware sales by the end of the year.
In his keynote speech, Roberts revealed the methodology he used to arrive at the numbers backing his claim.
"For the first 20 years or so, Arpa measured internet traffic," Roberts said. "Then the NSF (National Science Foundation) took over. But since 1996, when the NSF turned the internet over to commercial companies, there haven't been any reliable numbers on total backbone traffic."
Roberts interviewed the top 20 internet carriers to compile his numbers. "They were only willing to share [the numbers] with me under the condition that I reveal only the totals," Roberts said. His methodology took into account factors such as average number of packet hops and peering arrangements between carriers.
The results show total internet backbone traffic in January 2002 at 55 petabytes (a petabyte is one million megabytes) per month, — a little more than double the figure from a year ago.
"We have added our numbers on to the old Arpa and NSF statistics, and it shows that growth has been steady since the inception of the internet. Traffic has more than doubled every year," Roberts said.
Roberts predicts that this trend will continue until the end of the decade, when he thinks internet traffic growth will start to slow.

Forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA) point to the US becoming the world's largest producer of oil and gas by 2030, and will be almost energy self-sufficient by 2035.
Mike Wittner, global head of oil research for Societe Generale, says that is largely due to the shale oil boom.
"The technology has made it a lot more cost efficient but what's really happened just in the last couple of years is that it- shale oil or tight oil from shale as the IEA says, has really moved from, you know, a relatively small piece of production… to a rapidly growing piece of US production," he says.
However environmental issues must also be considered.
"Some valid concerns and issues have been raised about making sure that these wells that use fracking and the shale formations, they need to be completed," says Mr Wittner. "They need to be constructed properly to safeguard drinking water and there is also the issue of what happens to the waste water that is generated."
Michael Gayed, chief investment strategist for Pension Partners., says the economic implications could be powerful.
"Rising oil prices are very much like a tax increase, falling oil prices are very much like a tax decrease if we are producing more that is somewhat of a net effect of a tax decrease on the consumer," says Mr Gayed.
And according to Mr Wittner, there are major economic geopolitical implications of energy independence as well.
"It's actually going to make it possible for the US to pay less attention and actually foot less of the bill for protecting Middle Eastern oil supply and basically, in effect, say to China and other countries hey you guys are the big consumers now you guys have to step up and do your part," says Mr Wittner.
The IEA expects almost 90 percent of oil from the Middle East will be drawn to Asia by 2035.

They say denim will never be out of fashion, and they're probably right. But if you think squeezing into the latest ultra-skinnies is painful, spare a thought for the workers involved in making them - especially if they have been treated with sandblasting.
Reports suggest silica dust from the sand used in sandblasting can get into workers' lungs and that it could take as little as six months for those exposed to silica dust to develop silicosis - for which there is currently no cure.
And while the awareness of the dangers of sandblasting has led some jeans manufacturers and sellers to ban the process – including New Look, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Levi's - some companies are still marketing the so-called 'killer' jeans.
According to Labour Behind the Label, which is believed to be launching a report on 'killer' jeans today, among the companies still selling sandblasted denim are Diesel, Matalan and Primark - though thankfully most firms still using the practice say they are in the process of phasing it out.
We can all do our bit to help stamp out this dangerous manufacturing process, say the campaigners, and that's by only buying jeans and other denim clothes that are sandblast-free.

CLEARWATER — Robert Weiss rose through the ranks of Tampa Fire Rescue, retiring as personnel chief in 2003 after 25 years with the department.
But he wasn't ready to hang up his gear.
When a division chief position opened up across the bay in Clearwater two years later, Weiss jumped at the opportunity for a simple reason: "I love the fire service," he said Tuesday.
He was hired by Clearwater Fire & Rescue in February 2005 and promoted to deputy chief in July 2008.
On Monday, he was named the city's interim fire chief when his boss, former Chief Jamie Geer, was fired after being arrested on a charge of capital sexual battery.
According to authorities, Geer sexually abused a girl for several years beginning when she was 8 or 9 years old and continuing until August. The girl is now 17. Geer remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of $500,000 bail.
Weiss said Tuesday that his main concern is that the residents of Clearwater and surrounding areas don't see any disruption of service with the change of command.
"This is a tragic event and each individual will handle that accordingly, but in terms of providing service, it's not going to have an impact on delivering services," he said.
In recent months, Weiss, 61, has taken a more visible role in the department, giving presentations to the City Council on issues like fire station construction and renovation and equipment specifications and purchasing.
He makes $89,000 annually.
Tampa Fire Rescue Chief Thomas Forward worked with Weiss for about two decades.
"Bob is extremely capable," Forward said, and was "very well-respected" by his colleagues in Tampa.
As a former union president, Weiss was well-versed in both the day-to-day work of firefighter-paramedics and the administrative side of the industry, Forward said.
"I think the city of Clearwater can rest assured that they have a very, very capable skipper at the helm," Forward said.
It's not clear how long Weiss will remain in charge. City Manager Bill Horne said Tuesday that he didn't plan to rush a search for a permanent replacement for Geer.
"I am confident that interim (chief) Bob Weiss can run the department efficiently and effectively as we sort out what the next step should be," he said.
Times staff writer Mike Brassfield and Times researcher Caryn Baird contributed to this report.

text: Within the past week, I've asked about many multis to buy. However, today I hit with my HPS that had a full poly string job in it. To my luck, my arm did not hurt from it. I think it stopped hurting because I fixed my weird service motion that put too much stress on my elbow. So now my question is what would be a good string for a HPS 6.1 Std. I would use a multi, but I shred through that stuff too fast and it would cost too much money to keep replacing. So any synthetics(not multis) or polys that anyone would recommend would be nice. I've considered the Kirschbaum line(basically all their strings in 17 gauge) I don't plan on trying Luxilon because of cost reasons. Also, how is Babolat Hurricane and Topspin Poly Polar? Any other string recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Upcoming Events
Do you like burgers and beats? Of course you do. You're a red-blooded Houstonian. It just so happens that Stanton's City Bites (1420 Edwards) is hosting a Beats and Eats party on Saturday afternoon from noon to 7 p.m. Live music by BBC, Karina Nistal, Mr. Castillo and more will keep the party going while you sample free food from one of the city's best burger joints.
If beer is more your bag, you'll want to catch the Winter Seasonal Beer Tasting on Saturday at Block 7 Wine Company (720 Shepherd), where you can sample eight different holiday beers including Bernardus Christmas Ale, Delerium Noel, DeTroch Chapeau X'mas Gueuze and St. Feuillen Cuvee Noel (those crazy Belgians and their Christmas beers...) for only $5. The tasting starts at 2 p.m. and runs unil 5 p.m.
After that winds down, head over to Avant Garden (411 Westheimer) for Absinthe: Revealed, a tasting and lecture that we told you about back in November, that starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for the lecture and tasting party afterwards, or just $15 for the party itself. RSVPs are required, so make them now and come hang out with us while we learn all about the truths and rumors around the Green Fairy.
And on Sunday, take a trip OTL to the 1st Annual WineStyles Gumbo Cookoff benefiting Toys for Tots. It kicks off at noon at WineStyles (12361 Barker Cypress) and runs until 5 p.m. The price of admission? One new unwrapped toy -- or $15 -- per person, but isn't it more fun to bring a toy? We think so. Admission includes live music by the Zydeco Dots (really, what would a Cajun celebration be without them?), a drink ticket and a sample of each competing team's gumbo.

A CHARITY is to launch the first prison visits transport service in the North-East in an effort to ensure inmates maintain contact with their families and loved ones while serving their sentence.
The North East Prison After Care Society (Nepacs) will introduce the service between Darlington and Deerbolt Young Offenders' Institution at Startforth, near Barnard Castle, on Saturday, April 26.
A second service, from Newcastle to HMP Northumberland, at Acklington, will start from April 29 and a third, between Teesside and HMP Northumberland will be introduced in May.
The pilot scheme is being launched after prison visitor surveys and other research carried out by the charity highlighted the difficulty some relatives encountered in visiting inmates.
Nepacs officials also point to a Ministry of Justice study which states prisoners are 39 per cent less likely to reoffend if they receive visits throughout their time inside.
Andrew Thorp, Nepacs transport solutions worker, said it was hoped the new service would encourage families to start making contact with inmates or increase the frequency of visits.
"A lot of people live far away, are not from the region and don't know the public transport system," he said.
"Some public services do not fit in with visitor times and this leaves some families with really long journey times."
In the case of Deerbolt YOI, the Nepacs service will operate on a Thursday, Saturday and Sunday to coincide with visitor centre opening times, with pick-up points at Darlington train station and in the town centre.
Mr Thorp said people wishing to use the service would be able to book a seat on the minibus in advance of their visit.
The new transport service is part of a range of help offered by Nepacs for the friends and families of inmates at seven prisons across the North-East.
The charity runs visitor centres and tea bars, offers play sessions for inmates' children, family support and support in Middlesbrough courts.
Nepacs is appealing for volunteer drivers in Darlington and Tyne and Wear to help operate the service. Those interested must be aged 21-70 and must have driven for two years.
Volunteers will be offered professional minibus driving training.
For details, contact Mr Thorp on 07854 594012 or email email@example.com

We refer you to the documents ISSI files from time-to-time with the SEC, specifically, our most recent Form 10-K filed in December 2010 and our most recent Form 10-Q filed in May. These documents contain and identify important factors that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those contained in our financial guidance, projections, comments, or other forward-looking statements.Scott Howarth – President and Chief Executive Officer Thank you, John. We are pleased with our overall performance in the June quarter as we once again demonstrated the strength of our high-quality specialty memory focus and our long-term consistent supply relationships with customers. We experienced strong demand across our key targets and achieved another solid quarter profits cash flow and design wins. Our GAAP net income was $8.1 million or $0.28 per share and our non-GAAP net income was $9.6 million or $0.34 per share. We also achieved $16.8 million in cash flow from operations. Revenue in the June quarter was $69.8 million, which was at the end of our guidance range and driven by an almost 10% sequential increase in our SRAM and DRAM revenue which totaled $65.3 million. The end contributed $4.5 million in analog revenue, which was slightly lower than expected due to weakness in the Chinese non-branded cell phone market. As we guided last quarter, we had expected our SRAM and DRAM revenue to be in the range of flat to up 8%. We exceeded these expectations primarily due to our SRAM revenue increasing 16% sequentially as a result of strong demand in the communications market. DRAM revenue grew 6% sequentially driven mainly by demand from our automotive and industrial customers. Growth in both of these product families reflects continued share gains across our target markets. In terms of our revenue growth by end market, automotive revenue grew 13% from the March quarter and 51% from the year ago quarter. In addition, we saw strong growth in the communications market with 10% sequential growth and 3% year-over-year growth as that market rebounded from an industry correction.

Aussies bow out of Oceania jumping championships
Showjumping's Oceania Championships have been cancelled this season because Australia is unable to field a team for the series.
Three official tests were to have taken place from February 23, culminating at the Horse of the Year show on March 21.
However, Equestrian Australia told Equestrian Sports New Zealand this week that many of its top combinations were unavailable as they had gone offshore to pursue World Equestrian Games selection.
Unofficial Trans-Tasman competitions would still take place, at an event on March 16 and as part of the Silver Fern Stakes at the Horse of the Year Show.

Scott withdraws appointments (Update)
Gov. Rick Scott has reappointed most of the people who were not confirmed by the Senate in the spring legislative session, but he withdrew 10, including several from the Tampa Bay area.
Without providing any explanation, Scott late Monday pulled the following appointees: Roderick Jones to the Board of Chiropractic Medicine; Pinellas Clerk of Court Ken Burke to the St. Petersburg College Board of Trustees; Carlos of Alfonso of Tampa to the University of Florida Board of Trustees; Earl Young of Zephyrhills to the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council; Edwin Lytton of Inverness and Veeramaneni Rao of Lecanto to the Citrus County Hospital Board; Anthony Clemente of Miami to the Board of Pilot Commissioners; Charles Fishman of Venice to the State College of Florida-Manatee Board of Trustees; and Pamella Seay of Port Charlotte to the Edison State College Board of Trustees.
A previous blog post on this subject said Scott revoked 51 appointments, but the others are appointed by others, such as the Board of Governors (in the case of state university trustees) or Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam (in the case of the Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers).

|Reviews for Mork and Mindy the drama
| Imagination Gamer chapter 3 . 8/7/2016
Not a bad Mork and Mindy fanfic, but your pacing was a bit fast. You could try adding more detail or lengthen it a bit and fixing the chapters. Other than that it was pretty good.
| Mary Rose chapter 3 . 11/10/2014
I enjoyed reading it.
| NitrousTrigger chapter 2 . 6/3/2010
as you go along you should have Exidor return to his vigilante day's and help mork catch the man who did it and have mork do some orkan form of punishment
| Tango Mike Charlie chapter 2 . 5/5/2010
This is better :) Keep it up! You're doing fine :) (And I want to know what happens next ;-))
| Tango Mike Charlie chapter 1 . 12/14/2009
I just read your story. It has potential, but I think it needs a re-write. The idea of Mindy getting hurt and Mork being unable to prevent it is good, but you have to decide what you want the outcome to be. Will Mindy die? Will she live? How will Mork react in either case? How will he try to help her? Will he feel guilty for not having prevented it in the first place? Will he try to go back in time maybe?
Then, try and ease more into the story. You write very abruptly. Things happen out of the blue, without any warning. I understand that was important when Mindy got shot, because it needed to be unexpected, but you can use your words to ease into it. Make it exciting to read. You can announce something is about to happen, then write 3 pages on it and only THEN have Mork & Mindy notice what is going on. the reader can be aware of things that the characters are not aware of (yet). Try using more adjectives. It helps in setting the scene and atmosphere.
Once you're decided on those important points, you can go back and re-write it to fit your story. It's always best if you know where your story is going before you start writing.
I love that you're at least trying to write Mork&Mindy fanfiction :) Please try and finish it! :) (And please don't think I'm just criticizing. I'm trying to help)


text: Hello list, I am happily trying kde3.1 (ktown) on my notebook now and wondered, if there was any progress wrt smb-shares within konqueror. Last time I tried (kde2.2) I noticed, that smb-connections are very unstable with smb:// in konqueror and it seems that these limitations still apply for recent kde3.1. These are: Copying of multiple files hangs after 1st or 2nd file, sometimes even copying 1 file hangs at 9x per cent or so. Deleting files on smb: shares or even copying files to a smb-share does not work. I use recent samba packages from unstable, or is there probably a limitation wrt kernel version (me running 2.4.17)?

The Romanian captain was Sam Allardyce's first signing of the summer when he penned a one-year deal after moving from Ukranian champions Shakhtar Donetsk and he is looking forward to playing for the Hammers.
He is targeting a full debut against Cardiff at home on the opening day of the season on August 17.
"First of all I am very happy to wear a West Ham United kit," he told West Ham TV.
"For me it's an honour to wear this shirt and to play in the Premier League. I will be very proud to wear the claret and blue colours and I hope to satisfy the fans.
"I'll be very excited when I pull on the kt for the first time, because it will be my first game here."

Ordering Pizza Hut From Your Facebook Page? It's on the Way
By Emily Bryson York
Advertising Age
Fast-Food Chains Experiment With Takeout/Delivery Services Via Social Networks and IPhone Applications
A number of fast-food chains are reaching across the digital divide to get young consumers to order via Facebook or their iPhones. And they're building valuable databases of their customers in the process.
Pizza Hut, which recently crossed the $1 billion benchmark in online sales, is launching a Facebook application that allows fans to place orders without leaving their profiles. Although online ordering isn't new—the chain has offered it in some form since 2001—Bob Kraut, VP-marketing communications at Pizza Hut, said the bulk of that $1 billion in sales has come in the past 18 months. The chain is also launching text-ordering capabilities and e-gift cards, which can be purchased, exchanged and redeemed online.
Pizza Hut's not alone: A number of the nation's biggest fast-food chains are beginning to embrace text and iPhone ordering capabilities, at least as tests. Already for the three months ending in August, food marketers sent almost 1.4 million text-message ads, up 37% from the same period last year, according to ComScore's M:Metrics data. Consumers seem to want the offers: of all the ad categories using SMS marketing, restaurants had the highest response rates, with 15.5% of consumers responding to the ads.
Subway spokesman Les Winograd said some of the chain's franchisees have begun to offer ordering via text and iPhone apps. The chain has an unusually open policy that lets individual franchisees experiment with their businesses.
"Some of that is stuff that they're doing on their own, but they share information," Mr. Winograd said. "We're constantly encouraging franchisees to think out of the box and try something new. You never know, it might take off." (He said adding turkey to the menu was a franchisee experiment in the chain's early days.)
Lessons learned
McDonald's experimented with text-message ordering in Chicago last summer, with signs encouraging consumers to text in their late-night orders. Spokeswoman Danya Proud said there were "some very good learnings from this campaign about how to execute future viral campaigns."
Chipotle is developing an iPhone-ordering application to complement its existing web- and fax-ordering platforms. The chain also lets consumers pay online, place group orders and save ordering information for return visits.
While shifting consumer behavior may be behind the move toward mobile ordering, it's also lucrative. According to Mr. Kraut, online buyers spend more. "It's a little more upscale demographic, and a lot of people use credit," he said.
To attract those customers, Pizza Hut is launching a promotion with eMusic.com that gives customers 75 free downloads in exchange for buying a pizza online. The chain is hoping to boost awareness of its online ordering, up its cool factor and build its customer database.
Younger consumers
Mr. Kraut said the chain uses its database for targeted, sometimes monthly promotions, as well as market research. He declined to disclose the size of the database or how much it's grown this year.
"We're seeing that our customers are getting younger and younger," said Mr. Kraut, adding that the eMusic promotion is a way to bring "people in from other source and offering them something extra." Pizza Hut has done a variety of online promotions this year, including a partnership with Rockstar Games and its Midnight Club Los Angeles driving game.
Package-food companies aren't sitting on the sidelines either. Kraft chief marketer Mary Beth West said the company has created an iPhone application for consumers to download recipes and shopping lists in the grocery store.
"Even in the current economy, people don't have any more time than they had before," Ms. West said. "They're trying to get dinner on the table, and this is going to help them do that."

Since the early 1980's he has been involved in the design and development of major marinas in Victoria and Queensland including the Port Douglas and Gold Coast Mirage marinas. Stefan has been appointed to the Board by GMI founding partner MIA.
He replaces Steve Sammes CMM from Gold Coast City Marina. Steve served on the GMI Board since its inception in 2011. Mick Bettesworth praised the contribution Steve Sammes has made to the establishment of GMI and to the development of a globally recognised career pathway for the marina industries. 'Steve Sammes has not only been a positive force during GMI's establishment. He has also been very active lecturing at GMI courses in a number of countries and he has guided the development of GMI's continuing professional development program through a period of significant expansion'.
The Sydney GMI Board meeting agenda focused on continual improvement of existing GMI endorsed courses conducted by GMI partners the MIA and the British Marine Federation (BMF). There was also discussion on development of a high level financial modeling and appraisal seminar for marinas. More details on this seminar will be released after the next GMI Board meeting to be held in London in October.
