Samsung Galaxy Note 8 arrives April 11, but something's missing
What's wrong with Samsung? That's the question I asked in newsroom group chat today after seeing specs for Galaxy Note 8.0. Screen resolution diminishes the otherwise noteworthy feature list. Sorry, but 1280 by 800 is inadequate -- little more than matchup to Apple's iPad mini, which is similar size. For a company that makes such great-looking displays, lower-res is an endemic problem across Samsung's entire tablet line.
I really expected more from Galaxy Note 8.0, which as the same suggests has an 8-inch screen; iPad mini is 7.9. Samsung unveiled the tablet in February, and I wrote the news story. But in the rush of Mobile World Congress news didn't consider screen resolution, in part on possibility specs would change. The electronics giant has done it before, announcing one thing but shipping something slightly different months later.
"Back in 2010, the launch of the first Samsung Galaxy Tab with 7-inch screen opened a new chapter in the mobile industry", JK Shin, president of the company's mobile division, asserts. He's wrong about that. Three years ago, the market demanded larger tablets, like 9.7-inch iPad and 10.1 inchers from other companies, including Samsung. Among the reasons smaller tablets flopped earlier on: Prices were too high and many models sold though cellular carriers that demanded costly data plans with 2-year contracts.
"Now almost three years later, Samsung continues to evolve the sector that meets the demands of modern life", Shin says. "Evolve" is right. The new tablet could have been so much more than bringing the stylus to "tweener" size between 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II and larger Note 10.1. The size is just about right.
NPD DisplaySearch forecasts a dramatic shift in tablet size preferences this year. Larger is out, smaller is in. iPad dominated tablet shipments through release of the mini. But during the holidays, iPad mini sales surged. Meanwhile, 7-inch models, such as Google's Nexus 7, wooed consumers with greater features for lesser cost.
Display shipments foreshadow future devices. In early January, the analyst firm forecast that tablet shipments would exceed laptops this year and that the market would shift from 9.7-inch models to those between 7-7.9 inches. At the end of February, DisplaySearch backed up the forecast with real, recent numbers that revealed dramatic changes ahead.
Between December and January, 9.7-inch panel shipments collapsed, falling to 1.3 million from 7.4 million and indicating that Apple sales largely shifted from iPad to mini. Meanwhile 7-to-7.9-inch panel shipments grew from 12 million to 14 million.
At 8 inches, the new Galaxy Note is right at the sweet spot. "We forecast that tablet PC panels will hit 254 million in 2013, up tremendously from 160 million in 2012", David Hsieh, DisplaySearch vice president, says. "Of this, 5-8.9-inch panels will account for 136 million and 9-10 inch for 118 million. That means smaller-size tablet PC panels -- 7-8.9 inches -- will surpass the larger size tablet PC panels (9-10 inches-plus)".
But Samsung stands still on screen resolution, while competitors go forward. "Many panel makers are developing 7-inch 1920 × 1200 or even 8.9-inch 1920 × 1200 or 2048 × 1536 panels with more than 300 ppi", Hsieh says. These higher-res screens will come to market this year, overshadowing Galaxy Note 8.0. Think about it. When Apple bumps up iPad mini to Retina Display, how will Samsung's tab really stand out.
"Galaxy Note 8.0 breaths fresh life into the category as it delivers the perfect fusion of portability and everyday productivity -- the result is a pioneering, pocket-sized solution that enhances and enriches our everyday lives, whether at work or play", Shin claims.
I can't agree. We will see how the market receives this $399.99 iPad mini competitor. The two tablets are about the same size, with similar screen resolution. But Apple's tablet costs about $70 less for same storage capacity. The stylus, and supporting software, is the big hardware differentiator. Software-wise, Samsung ships TouchWiz UI and stylus apps on top of Android 4.1.2, plus some business-oriented solutions.

If you haven't already guessed by my name I love Barbie and I get very excited about designer collaborations, from Karl Lagerfeld and Moschino to the latest collab with Fashion East emerging designer Matty Bovan, who if you haven't have heard is pretty special when it comes to bold, feminine statements and he has designed an amazing collection of tees featuring hand-drawn graphics to celebrate Barbie's 58th Birthday. There are four tees in the collection and I have to be honest I found it hard choosing just one, but there was something so beautiful about this doll with her statement 80s earrings

Current Research Topics
- Genetic elements involved in bradyzoite (tissue) cyst formation: Transcriptomic data suggests that a shared transcriptional motif drives a subset of genes during early bradyzoite (tissue cyst) formation. We are designing transgenic constructs to evaluate the specificity of this putative motif.
- Genes invovled in bradyzoite formation: Our microarray data detailing gene responses during bradyzoite conversion has identified a small subset of early-upregulated transcripts which may be imporant for bradyzoite formation. Confirmatory knock-out studies are currently underway to determine their role in cyst formation
- Anti-parasitic compounds: Following up on our recent work with novel anti-parasitic compounds, we are attempting to ascertain the mechanism of action for compounds identified to have anti-Toxoplasma and (very potent) anti-malarial activity. This work includes using high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing.
- Host genes required for intracellular parasite growth: T. gondii growth only occurs within host cells. Using a high-throughput host gene overexpression screen, we have identified human genes putatively associated with enhanced (or decreased) parasite growth.

Tourism Bureau works to give visas on arrival
By Joy Lee ,The China Post Thursday, February 6, 2014, 12:04 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Tourism Bureau will work on giving out visas on arrival for more international travelers visiting Taiwan on cruise ships to encourage more tourists to visit the country.
The Tourism Bureau said that it has been working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Immigration Agency to allow more international travelers who come to Taiwan on cruises to receive visas as soon as they arrive.
According to the Tourism Bureau, the cruise passengers from five countries, including India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines will be the first five countries to be included in the list to receive visas on arrival.
The Tourism Bureau said that those five countries have large numbers of young people, so the bureau hopes that by loosening the threshold for visas it will attract more tourists to the nation.
The numbers of international tourists who visit Taiwan has increased dramatically in recent years, the Tourism Bureau said, and in order to attract more travelers to visit Taiwan, the bureau has to launch more flight routes and loosen the threshold for international cruise passengers.
Based on the experiences of South Korea and Malaysia, the Tourism Bureau said, by including countries that can receive visas on arrival for cruise travel, it can greatly increase the number of international tourists who visit from those countries.
According to the Tourism Bureau, there were around 75,000 people from Malaysia who visited Taiwan in 2002. However, after Taiwan included Malaysia in the visa wavier program in 2003, the number of visitors from Malaysia reached 184,000 in 2009, which was a 145-percent increase in seven years.
The Tourism Bureau said that the nation can also learn from South Korea's experience in promoting tourism. In 2012, South Korea allowed travelers from China who visit South Korea on cruises to receive visas upon arrival, which greatly benefited the country's tourism.
According to the Transportation Ministry, the number of international cruises that arrived in Taiwan in 2013 was 373, which was a new record high. Those cruises brought 536,000 tourists to Taiwan last year and created NT$160 million in revenue.
The Transportation Ministry estimated that the total number of cruises that will visit Taiwan this year will reach 412 and the number of tourists to visit Taiwan will go up to 578,000 annually. This will bring NT$171 million in tourism revenue for Taiwan.
An official at the Tourism Bureau said that the cruise economy route between Taiwan and mainland China will be established soon, so if cruise operators and tourist agencies work with the government they will bring in more tourists and create more revenue for Taiwan in the future.

Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped.

Carolita Barge
On the 21st April 1942, the barge was moored at the submarine depot on Manoel Island. She was possibly mistaken for a submarine in the dark when a torpedo struck her in the stern and she sank immediately.
On route to the wreck swimming between 10 and 15 metres we will encounter a variety of interesting artefacts such as bath tubs, hospital beds, wheel chairs, typewriters, various interesting bottles and other paraphernalia all thrown into the sea at some time during or after the war.
The Carolita is in remarkable condition! The bows are long and straight with double bollards on each side. The deck is flat leading to a double access hatch with a ladder leading downwards towards the vessels interior. Towards the stern, is the large covered hatchway that once gave access to the cargo hold. Right behind the hatch, is the wheel house which sits immediately above the damaged stern.
The floor of the wheel house is missing revealing the engine room. The torpedo damage at the stern is the only visibly damage to the vessel- although quite extensive.
The stern section is completely broken away and leans over on its starboard side. Marine life that can be encountered on this dive are Octopus, small Groupers, Damselfish and Stone fish.
Relevant Depths
6 Metres to the top of the wreck
25 Metres to the bottom of the wreck

Page 2 columnist
In case you missed Part One of my annual end-of-the-season NFL Awards -- in which we're handing out quotes from "Swingers" as movie awards -- click here. On to part two ...
18. "You have NO new messages."To the St. Louis Rams, who went from "Team of the Decade" to "Team Turmoil" in less than a season. Two people were exposed over everyone else: 1) Mike Martz, who just isn't a very good coach (as he proved in last year's Super Bowl), and 2) Kurt Warner, who hasn't been the same since he injured his throwing hand two years ago. Whether he's healthy or banged up, Warner just isn't that accurate anymore (he killed the Rams during those first five games). Will he ever be the same again? Seems like just yesterday when Madden was calling him the Next Joe Montana. Of course, Madden calls everyone the Next Joe Montana, but that's beside the point.
(By the way, everyone off the Rams Bandwagon! You can still go out but you can't stay here! Everyone off! Last stop! Here are some complimentary Anaheim Thundersticks for your troubles! Please keep in touch! Again, this is the final stop!)
19. "You don't look at the things you have. You only look at the things you don't have. Those guys are right, you're money."To the Eagles, who kept chugging along without star QB (Donovan McNabb). Normally when you're stuck with one of the Detmers and a guy named "A.J" backing him up, that's a cry for help. Not this time. Now they're clearly the Super Bowl favorite when McNabb comes back for the playoffs -- if they can win without him, what can they do with him? Of course, if they immediately lose in the playoffs with McNabb, let the Ewing Theory grumblings begin!
As for Mikey -- about whom the above quote was said -- you could argue that he's one of the most pathetic characters in movie history, right up there with Daniel LaRusso and the guys from "Midnight Cowboy." Talking him into an impromptu Vegas trip is like pulling teeth. He doesn't know how to gamble. He's a professional comedian, only he isn't even remotely funny. He throws his friends under the bus when they're trying to hook up. He's still stuck on a girlfriend from back home who isn't even cute, and his friends can't even talk to him without the girlfriend getting brought up. He's an accomplished swing dancer. He's a wet blanket as a wingman. Even when a desperate Heather Graham throws the kitchen sink at him at the end, Mikey couldn't close the deal if he had the '89 version of Dennis Eckersley helping him.
But here's the thing: Mikey might seem pathetic, but somehow he remains strangely likable. You root for him. You want him to turn things around. You hope he gets Heather Graham at the end. And it's mostly because everyone's hit rock-bottom like Mikey does at some point. Again, we've all been there, at least most of us, and that's one of the main reasons this movie works so well. And yet I digress ...
20. "Lisa works at the MGM Grand, she's a Dorothy."
"Yep, I'm a Dorothy."
"Well, we're not in Kansas anymore."
(Dead silence)
"So ... what do you guys do?"
"I'm a comedian."
The most enjoyable exchange of the movie goes to the most enjoyable running subplot of the 2002 season: Stu Scott's weekly interview of John Madden on "Monday Night PrimeTime." Was anything better than the look on John's face when Stu started Stu-ing it up? Couldn't these guys have their own talk show, like a "Regis and Kelly"-type deal?
21. "Why do you have to make a major production every time we go out and embarrass me?"To Terrell Owens, who seemed to split NFL fans right down the middle this season (people either hate him or love him). Personally, I think he's hysterical - he won me over with the whole Sharpie thing, then took things to the next level when he was waving the pom poms two weeks ago. Here's someone who plays hard every week and actually puts some thought into his post-game celebrations. So why do I feel so guilty about enjoying him?
(You know what? I don't. I'd rather see Owens' good-natured routines than somebody pulling the "Turn around at the five-yard line and taunt the defender behind them as they dance into the end zone" routine. Whenever that happens, defenders should be allowed to cheapshot them after the TD, like the way the prison guard undercut Nate Scarbourough after his TD in the "Longest Yard." And while we're on the subject of rule changes, why do they put yard-limits on penalties? Remember that play a few years ago when Warren Sapp grabbed Jerry Rice's facemask on a reverse, caused Rice's head to do a 360 like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, then blew out Rice's knee in the process? Shouldn't that have been like a 60-yard penalty? All right, where was I?)
22. "Baby you were so money and you don't even know it."To Mike Vick ... it's all been said, and you hate to beat this thing into the ground before he even wins anything. A few weeks ago, Page 2 capitalized on Vick-Mania by devoting a day to themes like "The Most Electrifying Athletes Ever" and "What makes an athlete electric?" Here's my two cents: Vick stands out because of the "Oh, My God!" factor, those occasional moments when an athlete comes up with something so astounding that we can only scream, "Oh, my God!" As enjoyable as the NFL has been over the last few years, we haven't had an NFL player delivering those moments consistently since Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson were in their respective primes.
So you can define "electricity" 600 different ways, but it really comes down to three words -- "Oh, my God" -- which Mike Vick had everyone saying over and over again this season. And since there's nothing else to say, can we implore the networks (ESPN, ABC, Fox and CBS) to put the Falcons on national TV as much as possible next season? When in doubt, show the Falcons. Just trust me.
23. "I'm sorry we talk about the same thing all the time."To the Miami Dolphins ... as one of my readers wrote about them a few weeks ago, their annual December collapse is just like Chanukah: "Nobody ever knows exactly when it starts, just that it happens sometime in December and it's a traditional occasion for celebration and glee." You could excuse them for the Week 16 loss in Minnesota -- a classic trap game if there ever was one -- but that Level One gag job in New England should haunt them for the rest of the winter. Here's the weird thing: If they just held on for five more minutes, I would have picked them to make the Super Bowl ... now they're not even in the playoffs! Weird season. We say that every year, but seriously ... weird season.
And while we're on the subject of the Dolphins ...
23a. "Our little boy's all grown up tonight! You know what, big boy? You're grown up! You're grown up! Yeahhhhhh! Dig that! Is this enough of a (bleeping) production for you? Cuz you're growns up and you're growns up and you're growns up!"To Ricky Williams, who finally got his Alexei Zhitnik together and submitted the 1,800-yard season that had been lurking somewhere inside him for three years. It's funny how losing 30 pounds and getting in sick shape can have positive repurcussions for a running back. But here's something that bothers me: If shedding that extra weight helped his quickness so much, then why keep those dreadlocks? Wouldn't he be even faster by shedding that 5-6 pounds of hair? And have you ever noticed that the guys on the Packers who have dreads always seem a step slow? Somebody needs to investigate this.
(As for the above scene, does Trent climbing onto the table at the diner and doing the "All growns up" routine ever get old? Just so you know, "Swingers" was re-released on DVD this fall and given its proper due, including a director's commentary and a terrific behind-the-scenes documentary that examines the painstaking process of making a low-budget indie film. Definitely worth the $20 if you like the movie. I mention this only because you find out things in the documentary like, "Trent jumping on the table was ad-libbed." I mean, I need to know these things. Don't you?)
24. "Dude, check it out, dude, I swear to God, it's (bleeping) on. Look at him, dude, it's so (bleeping) on!"To the Jets ... the proverbial "Team That Nobody Wants To Play." They went 7-2 in their last nine games, and both losses were winnable -- a classic "Look ahead to the next week" loss in Chicago, and a hard-fought Monday night loss in Oakland in which they could have prevailed if two or three plays went their way. What's not to like about this team? They can run the ball and rush the passer, two essentials for a potential championship team. Their QB looks like he's filming "Tom Brady, the Sequel." They have three legitimate gamebreakers (Coles, Moss and Abraham). And their coach knows that the object here is to win the game. Repeat: To win the game! You hear me? To win the game! Anyway, I've been on the Jets bandwagon for the past few weeks ... I think they're headed to San Diego. More on this later.
25. "Hi, Nikki, this is Mike ... I met you at the Dresden tonight. Just called to say that I had a great time, and you should call me tomorrow, or in a couple of days ..."The most awkward scene in the movie, and quite possibly in movie history -- Mikey meeting a girl at a bar, then leaving six answering machine messages for her when he gets home that night -- goes to the most awkward moment of 2002: Kurt Warner's wife calling a local St. Louis radio show to defend her husband. Even Doug Christie and Mrs. Christie were mortified about this one. If the Sports Gal ever calls a radio show to defend me, just shoot me in the head right then and there. I'm serious.
Honorable mention: Every SportsCenter segment where John Clayton and Sean Salisbury argue about football and say mean things to each other. Who came up with this idea, Jeff's wife from "Curb Your Enthusiasm"? I keep waiting for one of them to say, "(Bleep) you, you car wash (expletive)." And yet it's strangely mesmerizing, like watching that "You Gotta See This" show and waiting for a skateboarder to crack his head open on the concrete. Maybe the most inexplicable running segment in the history of ESPN.
26. "Back in the day this place was a real contender, but now they'll appreciate the business."To the Detroit Lions. .. this must be why the NFL keeps scheduling them on Thanksgiving every year.
27. "I'm getting vibed like in a really weird way here."To the Cleveland Browns, the strangest team in recent memory. They finished 3-5 at home and 6-2 on the road. They won a game on a Hail Mary pass, lost a game after a "Throwing the helmet" penalty kept the Chiefs alive, won an OT game in Tennessee with help from an onside kick, and blew another potential OT win in Pittsburgh because of a blocked field goal. Ten of their games came down to the final play, as have 16 of the 32 games in the Butch Davis Era (I'm making these numbers up, but it's something along those lines). Their fans threw things at officials and cheered when their own players get injured. Their QB had a Tammy Faye Baker-level meltdown because his own fans were mean to him.
Wait, there's more. They struggled stopping the run, even though their defensive line includes players picked first and third overall in their respective drafts. They had about 50 different receivers who earned fantasy points this season. And they started the season with linebacker Dwayne Rudd costing them a game by throwing his helmet, and ended the season with Rudd stonewalling Warrick Dunn on two straight goal-line runs, catapulting the Browns into the playoffs. Would you want to play these guys in January? Me neither. Either they're losing by 30 to Pittsburgh this weekend, or they're making the Super Bowl. There's no middle ground.
28. "I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's really hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated 'R' movie, you know? The guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man."To the "Weak Links" of the 2002 season, all of whom needed the aforementioned pep talk: The Niners kicker Du'Jour (cost them homefield advantage throughout the playoffs) ... the Eagles Punter Du'Jour (will rear his ugly head in January, whoever he is) ... Buffalo's coaching (we covered that already) ... KC's secondary (killed them in Sept. and Oct.) ... Ray Lucas (cost Miami a playoff spot) ... the dreadful collection of Falcons receivers (reminiscent of MJ's supporting cast on the '86 Bulls -- the similarities between Kyle Macy and Brian Finneran are jarring) ... and Niners nickelback Mike Rumph, the 2002 Weak Link MVP, who was picked on so relentlessly, he might have earned the first-ever rating below 30 in "Madden 2004" next season.
29. "What the hell are you kicking me for? Fine, you want me to ask her, I'll ask her. Maam, do you know where the high school girls hang out around here?"To the Bears, who were stuck playing home games at the University of Illinois -- more than 100 miles from home -- because Soldier's Field was getting remodeled. That's always a recipe for disaster: An NFL team playing 16 games on the road. Not good times. Throw in the whole "Year after the season where everything went right with a much harder schedule" phenomenon and the Bears were behind the eight-ball before the season even started. And that's before we even get to the whole "Hey, let's bring Jim Miller back for another year, and we'll back him up with Chris Chandler!" idea. Their third string QB should have been the Bubble Boy from Seinfeld.
30. "What do you drive?"
"A Cavalier. It's red. A red Cavalier."
31. "I'm gonna find me two waitresses here and I'm gonna pull me a Fredo."One of the MVP quotes in the movie goes to the MVP of the 2002 season: Tennessee's Steve McNair, who had the most dramatic effect on his team's fortunes out of anyone in football. As Joe Theismann would say, here's a guy who's been banged up all season, he didn't get much help from Eddie George, his receivers are average at best, and yet he kept making football plays. As you know, great players make great plays. Well, Steve McNair is a great football player who makes great plays. That's why he's great.
(And speaking of great, frankly, it's too early to tell where Double Down Trent ranks among the great movie characters in recent Hollywood history. Here's my question: How does Vince Vaughn not even get nominated for an Oscar here? Who else could have played Trent? Who else could have carried the movie for scenes at a time? Who else could have created a character that remains funny and original even six years later? That character was so good, Vaughn hasn't been able to approach it since, because we can't separate himself from Trent; in a weird way, "Swingers" was the worst thing that could have happened to him, even though it made him famous. Anyway, nobody else could have played Trent. He should have gotten nominated. I will not argue about this.)
32. "I'm the (expletive), right? I'm the (expletive)!"To Lamar Smith, the troubled Carolina running back who was arrested for drunken driving last month ... yes, the same Lamar Smith who paralyzed a teammate in a drunk-driving accident a few years ago. Nice guy. I still remember reading the generic "I'm a new man, I've learned from my mistakes" feature about him in ESPN The Magazine last year; maybe that's why I let out an audible "Oh, no!" when I read about his arrest last month. Don't you just hate sports some times?
33. "Get there!"
My favorite throwaway line in the movie -- Mikey's friend screaming encouragement to his woefully short putt at the par-three course -- goes to my favorite throwaway moment of the 2002 season: After Week 2, I wrote that the Panthers were the worst 2-0 team in NFL history, and somehow that quote got back to Panthers offensive lineman Todd Steussie, who repiled, "I guess that's why he's writing for Page 2 and not Page 1." Can I put this on a resume? As a postscript, the Panthers ended up cruising to 7-9 ... so in retrospect, I was probably wrong about them. Maybe as a punishment, I can turn all the lights off in my office and Steve Smith can come in and inexplicably beat the hell out of me.
(Speaking of memorable quotes, we'd be remiss if we didn't pay tribute to the NFL quote of the year, which happened during the "MTV Cribs" episode featuring Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. Lewis was showing off his master bedroom closet -- which was roughly the size of a rent-controlled Manhattan apartment -- when he pointed to a row of mink coats and proudly said, "These is my minks." Then he carried on about his love for minks. You really had to be there. These is my minks.)
34. "Would you dance with me?"
On the flip side, the Chiefs and Browns were obviously possessed by Satanic forces. Can you ever remember two teams involved in more rollercoaster games that tore your heart out of your chest, or teams with a knack for winning games but failing to cover the spread? I actually had a solid year picking games against the spread, finishing 35 games over .500 in my Picks Pool ... and yet I couldn't make a profit because the Chiefs and Browns kept putting the Tom Gamboa jersey on me, and I just couldn't get it into my thick skull to stay away from them. Even Jake the Snake in his prime didn't treat me this horribly. I'm just bitter right now.
(As for the above quote, what was the most unrealistic part of the Mikey-Lorraine dance scene? That somebody as hot as Heather Graham was sitting by herself at a bar? That both of them knew how to swing dance that well? That she would ask Mikey to dance? That she would be remotely attracted to Mikey in the first place? And while we're on the subject, did any actress have a hotter two-movie run than Graham did in "Swingers" and "Boogie Nights"? You almost forget that she hasn't been in anything good in over five years, or that she can't act to save her life -- she can live off Lorraine and Rollergirl for the next 30 years, and frankly, she should. God bless Heather Graham.)
35. "You're a big winner. I'm gonna ask you a simple question, I want you to listen to me: Who's the big winner here tonight at the casino? Huh? Mikey, that's who. Mikey's the big winner. Mikey wins."This could have gone a number of directions, but we're giving this to Eagles coach Andy Reid, who kept the Eagles on track without Donovan McNabb. Some have been calling it one of the great coaching jobs in NFL history ... I wouldn't go that far, only because McNabb wasn't playing all that well this season. Still, he's the "Coach of the Year" only because the Eagles offense doesn't have any above-average guys, yet they kept scoring points when McNabb went out. Pretty impressive. Would any of the Eagles skill position guys even play a down for the Raiders or Jets?
Some other award winners: Rookie of the Year (Clinton Portis, who should have been starting from Week One on in Denver) ... Fantasy MVP (Priest Holmes, with Marvin Harrison and Ricky Williams as runners-up) ... Kicker You'd Most Want Kicking a 45-Yarder With Your Life On The Line (Adam Vinatieri, goes without saying) ... Most Fun Special Teams Guy (KC's Dante Hall) ... Most Fun Addition to the League (the completely insane Jeremy Shockey) ... Most Underrated Injury (Troy Brown wrenching his knee in Week 3 -- Brown and the Pats offense would never be the same) ... Most Tired Media Subject (anything involving Randy Moss) ... Best Contract Run (Peerless Price, destined to get overpaid for a 40-catch season in Arizona or Detroit next season) ... Biggest Mistake (Mike Shanahan sticking with an obviously overmatched Brian Griese until it was too late) ... Most Amazing Story (Jerry Rice still chugging along) ... Strangest Fantasy Monkey Wrench (Matt Hasselbeck's improbable stretch run, which might have turned him into a high pick next year) ... Worst Backup QB To Actually Start a Game (Chicago's Henry Burris, who made Randy Fasani look like Y.A. Tittle) ... and the Tony Dungy Memorial Award for "Assistant Coach who prompted the most announcers to wonder, 'When is this guy getting a chance to be a head coach?'" (Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis).
BONUS QUOTE: "You know what you are? You're like a big bear with claws and with fangs ... and she's just like this little bunny, who's just kinda cowering in the corner ... you know, you got these claws and you're staring at these claws and your thinking to yourself, and with these claws you're thinking, 'How am I supposed to kill this bunny, how am I supposed to kill this bunny?' And you're poking at it, you're poking at it ... you're not hurting it. You're just kinda gently batting the bunny around, you know what I mean? And the bunny's scared, Mike, the bunny's scared of you, shivering. And you got these (bleeping) claws and these fangs, man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your fangs. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man. 'I don't know how to kill the bunny.'"To the Bucs and the Raiders ... two teams that just haven't figured out how to kill the bunny yet. It wouldn't be a shock if the Bucs didn't make the Super Bowl this year, if only because their running game is a little sketchy and they've had so many problems winning in Philly. But how can the Raiders not make it? They have the most talented offense and homefield advantage. You could argue that they could have advanced each of the past two years, if not for Gannon's injury in the Baltimore game and the combination Tuck Rule/Choke job in New England last January (don't forget, they had a second-and-two with the lead and three minutes to play, and they couldn't get those yards to finish the game). And they're playing as good as anyone right now.
And with all of that said ...
I still don't think they're making it. Mark me down for the Jets and Eagles in Super Bowl XXXVII ... with the Jets winning, 24-20. In fact, I feel so strongly about this, I might even fly down to Vegas this weekend just to slap some cash on the Jets.

NEX 6 focus peaking assisted from flash?

Focus assist light of the external flashes do not work with Nex and built-in focus assist light does more harm than good, at least for AF. Can't remember if the "internal" focus assist light stays on if one uses DMF on Nex
So one pretty much have to use something completely external from Nex to get any assist for focusing, not very convenient on the field, but I use IR controlled led light to assist MF when I'm doing motion stop photography on my batcave type, matte black home theater room.
internal orange light comes on in M mode but is not strong enough to start focus peaking.
IR controlled led light source is a good idea. I will search for it.
Maybe I mount a small video light on the camera in low light before shooting stills.
Thank you
Correction: internal orange light comes on in M mode only on my Sony 16-50mm but not with Canon 50mm FD lens.

|Markers of Adequate Pubertal Suppression During Supprelin LA Therapy for Central Precocious Puberty
- Sensitivity and specificity of free alpha subunit of pituitary glycoprotein to identify subjects with appropriate pubertal suppression. [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]The primary outcome of the study will be the sensitivity and specificity of a subject having elevated random FASPG values (> 0.6 ng/mL) to identify subjects who are appropriately suppressed based upon a leuprolide-stimulated LH <4 mIU/mL. This outcome will be based upon results of puberty hormone suppression testing obtained 28-97 days after placement of the Supprelin LA insert.

Children with Central Precocious Puberty
Children with Central Precocious Puberty will have hormonal testing of markers of puberty up to 30 days prior to placement of a Supprelin LA insert and 28-97 days after placement of the Supprelin LA insert.
Detailed Description:
During clinical trials of Supprelin LA®, leuprolide stimulation tests were performed to determine adequacy of suppression. However, the use of this stimulation test to monitor suppression requires an expensive medication and collection of multiple blood samples. Alternative methods of monitoring pubertal suppression during gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor agonist (GnRHa) therapy have included both random and trough levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol or inhibin B. Recently, the free alpha subunit of pituitary glycoprotein (FASPG) has also been shown to be a potentially useful marker of hormonal suppression (Hirsch HJ, et al, JCEM 95:2841, 2010) as it undergoes a paradoxical rise following initiation of therapy, and reverts to baseline upon completion.
In this investigator-initiated pilot study we will evaluate novel markers of pubertal suppression in children receiving standard of care gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor agonist therapy for the treatment of central precocious puberty. Children with central precocious puberty who have selected treatment with Supprelin LA will undergo hormonal testing of markers of pubertal activity before and after placement of the Supprelin LA insert.

Hi all!
So I will be studying abroad in a couple of weeks and will be spending six weeks in London and six weeks in Paris. I have been researching my cell phone options and have quite a few questions. First of all, I have a iPhone 4s from Verizon, which according to Verizon, is unlocked for Europe. I only want to get data (as you can call and text through data and thus kill two birds with one stone), but after taking a look at some of the sim card plans offered by Vodafone/Orange in the UK, I realized this is unavoidable as you have to get text messaging too with the available plans. This is perfectly fine. However, I will be doing side trips and visiting various countries (Germany, Italy, Scotland, Spain, just to name a few...) on the weekends and I'm wondering if there is a sim card that allows you to get data in all of those countries (or in the EU in general).
I am also wondering if it'd be more cost efficient to maybe forgo this sim card idea and pay 25 bucks for each 100 mb of data through Verizon's global service, which isn't a lot, but I will just be using a texting app anyways that doesn't require a lot of data. If this trip was shorter and only a month, I'd definitely take this route as I can use this in any country I go to. But one thing is that I won't be able to save my monthly US bill as I can suspend my phone service in the US while I'm abroad so that it saves money if I use the sim card route.
Sorry if this was long, just trying to present my case haha...let me know what you think

Hi all!

I am not going to recommend a specific plan but tell you that there is essentially no plan that will allow you to text friends at home the way most US students are used to doing at home. "Whassup?" "Chillin'" "Me too" is three messages and before you know it, you have spent $2000. Really.
You are going to have to depend a lot more on email thru wifi than you are used to doing now, and if you have wifi, you and your family and friends can all use S
Skype to do voice.
If you just want to text among friends in your program locally, a cheap local phone and sim card are a good way to go. Once the data starts crossing the Atlantic, it starts costing for real.
Downloading or streaming music and sending pictures to friends or uploading to Facebook will eat up a lot of data quickly. On wifi, it is free. Again, a behavior change is really important.
Can you find out from Verizon how much data you are now using? Multiply that by $25 per 100megs to see what doing what you are used to doing will cost.

There is no EU wide sim card - but each EU sim card will generally work in each country but it costs more.
Buy one sim card (pay and go) for the UK and one for France and then just be careful in the other countries and try to use WIFI.
You will need a phone for voice calls locally at some stage and then you would be roaming even if ringing the local pizzeria.
In the UK look at tesco mobile for example - its not that expensive

I just came back from Europe, and I needed a SIM card with data as I was going to use it extensively for Google maps (which I did, haha!) After finding out that there is no EU-wide SIM card as Lawchick says, I bought one pay-as-you-go (PAYG) SIM card from an Orange store in Paris, then another PAYG SIM card from an Orange store in the UK (the companies are separate entities so you have to buy two separate cards).
Here's what I paid:
Go to an Orange store (I went to the one at Forum Les Halles) and tell the staff that you specifically want data. They will then sell you a SIM card, then ask you how much credit you want on it. Then they will activate the data function. Bring along your iPhone and passport, and make sure the staff do the set-up for you because it was mind-boggling for me and I was very grateful for the staff's help.
Altogether, I paid about 29 euros for everything. I didn't really use the text function, and used all my credit for data. It lasted me quite a while! If you need to top up, just go to the Orange (France) website and top it up. I didn't need to, but then you're going to be there for quite a while.
The SIM card was free, and I could add any amount of credit I liked in increments of 5 pounds. However, the Orange UK staff said I would need to add at least 10 pounds of credit if I wanted to use data. Same thing - I brought my passport and iPhone, and the staff did everything for me. I could use the 3G on the spot. Adding credit was even easier - just call '453' and you can top up over the phone using your debit or credit card. I spent ten pounds at the shop, then topped up another five pounds a few days later.
Hope this helps!

If you don't need your phone to make calls or texts, suggest you shut off data roaming and use it for wifi only. Not only Skype, but FaceTime works well if the person you are calling has a recent version iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. You can text through iMessage as long as you are at a wifi hot spot.
There has recently been an EU cap on roaming charges, but it doesn't apply for calls to numbers outside the EU.

Metal Detector Treasure Finds, Pictures and Stories
E-TRAC Scores Stunning Bust Half Dollar
Recently, I secured permission to hunt of series of fields. While the targets in a field hunt tend to be more sparse than at parks or home sites, field hunting has a certain appeal in that it is likely that your coil will be the first to pass over much of the terrain.
So, I grabbed my E-TRAC, and on the first day of hunting, scored a large copper, and a very nice 1803 half reale. That told me the site had excellent potential.
On the second day of hunting, however, I did not score a single coin. That did not discourage me – its par for the course for this sort of detecting. I'm very experienced with the E-TRAC, and I know if it's there, it will find it.
On the third hunt, just 15 minutes in, I got a beautiful signal that was very deep, bouncing between an 01-42 and 22-42. Nice tight pinpoint, and on the E-TRAC, good targets tend to have a certain "sweet sound", for lack of a better word. I knew it could be a good target, figured it was most likely a large copper, but could be a silver quarter or half, but it could also be something like a crotal bell or piece of copper pipe.
Dug down about 8 inches, and saw the edge of a large silver coin. I was in business. Carefully worked the dirt away, and saw an eagle on the back. Thought it might be a walking liberty half dollar at first, but it was the wrong sort of eagle for that. Turned it over and saw the bust: an 1830 bust half dollar in excellent shape! Clean VF or XF grade coin with no problems; a beautiful coin in all respects. I was jacked.
I've dug over 1200 silver coins with the E-TRAC in the past 4 years, but this is by far my best.

I am on campus today for the first day in a while, and I noticed that the Bowen parking lot is being reconstructed in some interestingly different ways. It's kind of hard to describe and I don't have a decent picture, but it looks like it is going to be come a kind of two-level lot with some green space in between. One way or the other, it looks like the lot will have significantly fewer spaces, which bums me out since I often enough find parking here.
What gives? Anyone know?

Girl, 5, to be Thurston Co. sheriff for day
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A five-year old girl has been sworn as a deputy of the Thurston County sheriff's office.
Thurston County Sheriff John Snaza pinned a badge on Lucy Boyd during a ceremony Friday in Olympia. She'll take over the post of sheriff on August 21.
Boyd, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012, is in remission.
The Olympian says across the state, children with life-threatening illnesses participate in a program that allows them to be police chief or sheriff for a day.

Uhm, not so gross. The more common use for epsom salt is in a bath to sooth sore muscles.
Yeah, I bought Epsom salt this summer after I sprained my hand and needed to soak it. That's what most people use it for, aches and pains
You can also mix epsom salt with food coloring and your favorite sented oils and perfumes and make a great relaxing bath soak! 🙂 Fun crafty idea for ya!
THats what I was thinking..i have used that to soak my feet! not to drink!
By the look on her face she needs to take a good poop. My bet is for the laxitive.
You guys are so funny! That last comment made me laugh so hard I almost pooped my pants, no saline laxative needed.
I'm glad I'm not that only one who noticed the look on her face…
No wonder Rod Stewarts mouth looked so puckered….
That poop comment about got me in trouble at work. I started laughing so hard everyone was looking in my office like I was nuts! lol!
You can wash dark clothes in epsom salts to keep them from fading…
I love a violent laxitive. And a good soak.
Andrea – Too funny… Look at the determination in her face.
Can anyone identfy this obviously constipated cutie? By the way, is the home economy size box she's carrying? She better go slow with that stuff or the dump from her rump will make her toilet jump.

Bangalore, Dec 27 (UNI) The UPA government will brief the Left parties about the outcome of India's talks with International Atomic for Energy Agency (IAEA) on India-specific nuclear arrangements before arriving at a final conclusion, External Affairs Minister Pranab Kumar Mukherjee said here today.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the 80th conference of Nikhil Bharat Banga Sahithya Sammelan, he said, "Currently we are engaged in discussions with IAEA. As decided earlier we will meet the Left again and come out with the agreed text once we finalise the India-specific nuclear arrangements with IAEA," he said.
The UPA government had formed a co-ordination committee headed by Mr Mukherjee himself on Indo-U.S nuclear deal, after left parties raised serious objections on the issue and threatened to withdraw their support.

This is a design for progressive movement fingers that use small linkage devices inside each finger. These linkage may need to be printed in metal or made in metal in order to hold up to real usage. This design also takes advantage of a lateral pivot at the top of the wrist joint. This enables progressive and independent gripping of each finger. This object is still in testing phase so beware.
See http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:221560 for updated finger with larger range of movement.
This design was created by Bob Roth from Tulsa, OK. and he has been gracious enough to share the design with our community of makers.
This project is an extension of the work being done by Robohand, Ivan Owen, Jorge Zuniga, and the e-NABLE group. This work is being done in my lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.

shortage you can see the hand here: http://www.newson6.com/story/13514111/friends-building-oklahoma-man-a-mechanical-handhttp://www.newson6.com/story/1...
Hi! Has anyone ever completed one of those hands? I would love to see one, as I don't really understand the connection from the fingers push/pull rods to the wrist movement.
Is there a possibility to get an iges file oft this awsome design?
Thanx in advance:::ben:::
Please thank Bob Roth (https://plus.google.com/u/0/106162796811521778880/posts)https://plus.google.com/u/0/10... as he was generous enough to share it with me. I just translated the files. Bob used steel cables I believe when he made this. There are not motors involved. It is all based on the movement of the wrist.
Thanks for making this design available. This kind of work is why I wanted to get into 3D printing. Cheers.

Walsh Sizes Up Pacers
at the NBA All-Star Break
Feb. 13, 2004
With the Pacers riding atop the Eastern Conference at 39-14 at the All-Star break, franchise President and CEO Donnie Walsh sat down for this exclusive question and answer session with Conrad Brunner of Pacers.com
Q. You've said before that you've been surprised by the team's rapid progress. What is your level of gratifcation for the team's success thus far?
A. I'm happy to see the team where they are. I think both the coaches and the team obviously came in here with the intention to go out and perform on a really high level. You can't get this kind of record without doing that. And in the course of getting this record, you've got to play a lot of good teams on the road and at home and we have come through that in a great way. That doesn't mean you don't need to continue to improve to get to where you ultimately want to get but, from what I've seen so far this year, I think our team is basically very focused on being great.
Q. Do the number of coaching changes that have transpired since the beginning of the season illustrate the scenario you and Larry Bird wanted to avoid by hiring Rick Carlisle when you did?
A. Yes, they do. I thought by changing our coach and bringing Rick in, it would take a longer time for this team to come together and to do well. I mean, we were 13-2 in the month of November. We've been through some tough times; we had a tough month in December where we were on the road a lot. And yet their focus has remained the same. And that, you can't always predict. But (the changes) pointed out what we were worried about: that if we went into the season and we weren't sure if our team would come together again and had to fire a coach at that time, it's not the most ideal time to do that.
Q. Has Jermaine O'Neal progressed to the point that he should be considered a legitimate MVP candidate?
A. Absolutely. It's hard to say that because, as good as he is right now – which puts him on that level – you also see that this guy is going to continue to get better and better. I think it really speaks well for both the way he's played this year and the kind of talent he is. This guy is a unique talent in this league, and I don't think it has hit as many people as it probably should.
Q. How do you feel about the way Ron Artest has woven himself into the fabric of the team?
A. Ronnie is unique in his own way. I don't think I've ever been around a player as unique as Ronnie, and nine-tenths of it is due to how hard he works. Obviously, he has a lot of talent. But it's how hard he's worked in the offseason, how much improvement he's made since he's been here, and how hard he's worked to make that improvement. But I can say that for a lot of these guys on the team because they all fit a piece in the puzzle. We wouldn't be here if we didn't have Al Harrington, if we didn't have the point guards we have, if we didn't have Jeff Foster, and now Scot Pollard is coming around. A lot of things are falling in place for us.
Q. What have you learned about Rick Carlisle since hiring him as head coach?
A. The only things I've learned about Rick are head-coach things. I already knew he was a good coach. I didn't worry about this personality issue everybody was talking about, because I knew him and (Larry) Bird knew him and there was no problem with that. What I've learned is mainly his bench behavior. And I think he's been as good as anyone I've seen as a bench coach at sensing the other team's run and cutting it short with timeouts, at having his team prepared for all the situations you can run into and, for the most part, calling the right shots. And he's sticking to what he told the team before the season, that he wanted to be a defensive team because he believed that would carry you through the playoffs. Everything he said before the season he has carried out. So I think it says more about his philosophy about a coach than it does his talent as a coach, because I've been able to see him take his philosophy, put it in place and make it work. I already knew he was a good coach. I already knew he was a good guy. But to watch him do this as a head coach has made me more impressed with him.
Q. Are there any other developments that have caught your eye?
A. I'm gratified to see Austin playing the way I know Austin can play. Scot Pollard can be a very important part of this team, and lately he's showing how. The thing I want to see happen is Jonathan Bender come back to our team because he adds a special talent and size to our team that could help us. But from one to 15, I think everybody has worked hard in the same direction.
Q. Are you thinking about an NBA title yet?
A. I never think that. I'm thinking about the next game. That's the way the team's thinking, that's the way Rick has been thinking. Don't worry about the record. Whatever the record is, it is. You play the game you're playing, then you forget about that one and move on to the next one. That's the way you should think, because you can't get too far ahead of yourself.
Q. Given what he has been through and how he has emerged from it, how do you assess Jamaal Tinsley's performance?
A. I am really both happy for Jamaal and proud of Jamaal for what he's done. I knew he worked very hard in the summer and that was evident in how he came into camp. But then he got hit with something he didn't expect, and that was not playing. I felt he handled that really well in the sense that he kept working. I'm sure he was disappointed but he didn't let it affect what he was going to do. So when he got his opportunity, I thought he was a step ahead of where he's been before because he had some mental strength with it. And I think all those things have showed. He's a better defender. He's hitting threes. He's hitting clutch shots. He's running the team and showing that he can be a great point guard in the future. You can go down the line with all the great point guards in this league, and it took them a long time to get to the point that they were great point guards. Most of them were traded two or three times before they emerged to the stature they have now. So this speaks well for him.
Q. The NBA Trading Deadline is less than a week away (Feb. 19 at 3 p.m.). What is the likelihood of the Pacers making a deal?
A. I don't think anything will get done, but I wouldn't rule it out if we hear the right thing. We like our team. We're not looking to change our team but, on the other hand, if somebody calls us up and offers something we have to look at, we'll look at it. It's not like we're making a proclamation that we'll never change this team. We're saying we don't think we have to change this team. It's a good team. Everybody's on the same page and doing the right things, and we have a good enough team to win with. But if something comes up, we're open to it.
Q. What would you identify as the team's biggest need?
A. Shooting. That's the only thing I can think of. And if you put Austin out there, put Jonathan out there, then even that gets better. All of our players have improved their shooting – Artest is improving, Tinsley, Anthony Johnson. But I'm talking about Reggie-type shooting. There aren't a lot of teams that have that but at one time, we did. When we had (Chris) Mullin, Reggie, Rik (Smits), we had a lot of great shooting on that team. So we don't have shooting like that team had but that'd be about it. We do have some advantages over that team. We're more athletic, and we have a lot more mismatch possibilities with this team.
Q. Why are you confident this team can avoid falling into the same downward spiral that pulled the Pacers down after the All-Star break last season?
A. I don't see anything that's happened up to this point that would indicate that would happen. I think this year, we haven't had the kind of things happen that kind of gave you some forewarning that you've got to be careful. Last year, the schedule was very difficult coming out of the All-Star break. This year, we don't have the same kind of schedule and hopefully we won't have the same kind of incidents that were beyond everyone's control.
Q. How has the working dynamic between you and Bird evolved?
A. I love it. It's everything I thought it would be. I love working with Larry. I've always liked that, but in this role, I value him being here because I think he's more recent to playing days – which is an advantage – he's got great ideas, he's very clear about the way he thinks, he's very focused about it. I'm looking forward to the day I can just give it to him.
Q. What is your favorite All-Star memory?
A. Rik Smits throwing a behind-the-back pass (during the 1998 All-Star Game). That's it. That's my only favorable All-Star memory.

Ever since the meteoric rise of the internet and social media, many traditional media outlets have faltered in their ability to adapt. Arguably the world's most well-known and important media outlets, The New York Times finds itself at a crossroads of sorts. Having developed a new modified paywall system earlier this year to mixed results, the institution finds itself battling shrinking ad sales in its traditional newspaper format. Page One follows The New York Times through a period of one year as we're given a behind-the-scenes look into a giant which is seemingly looking for its bearings in a sea of ultra-competitive media. The movie is slated for release on June 24.

Egyptian priest Nesmin digital forensic facial reconstruction for Dr. Branislav Andelkovic with the University of Belgrade. The mummy is from approx. 300BC.
Meresamun: 2800 Year Old Mummy Forensic Facial Reconstruction
I have been asked to return to the Chicago Humanities Day Festival at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago this October to to reprise my talk about the Meresamun facial reconstruction! In mid 2009 I reconstructed the face of 2,800 year old mummy "Meresamun" from 256 CT scan database for The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. Meresamun was an Egyptian woman who was a singer in the Interior of the Temple of Amun. She lived in ancient Thebes in about 800 B.C. and was the subject of an exhibition presented by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.
I developed a 3D digital reconstruction process that is perfectly suited for reconstructions where the skull is physically unavailable, too fragile to be handled, or too valuable to risk damage or contamination. Also, it is more accurate than traditional sculptural techniques alone because of the ability to reference the skull continuously to maintain & confirm proper tissue depths & contours. The approach also offers many options in coloring, lighting, and is easily accessorized with hair, jewelry, etc. It was a perfect match for this project. The groundbreaking detail of the Meresamun CT scan offered such a unique opportunity for visualizing & studying such a fascinating piece of history without disturbing it. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to give her a face.
I gave a lecture at the 31st Annual Chicago Humanities Day Festival regarding the reconstruction. Besides the Oriental Institute's Meresamun Exhibit, the reconstruction was also featured in Archaeology Magazine, KMT Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, on MSNBC, & Fox News, & countless other feeds on the internet. An interview with me regarding forensic art was also featured in Archaeology Magazine.
