Microsoft is reportedly in talks with Comcast and Verizon to bring in content for its upcoming Xbox 360 live television service. According to a report from Digiday, citing anonymous sources, the deal would allow Xbox 360 owners to sign up for the cable providers' services and watch their programming from Microsoft's game console. If everything goes according to plans the company could make the partnership official "within a month" or so.
The Redmond-based company first announced that a live TV service would be coming to the Xbox at E3 in June. Although not many details were shared at the time, Microsoft did say that it would "partner with TV providers" for its offering, which would include local channels, news, sports, and more.
So far they've already launched a partnership with AT&T for their U-verse TV service -- though that requires a separate device as a primary receiver. Partnering with Comcast and Verizon could accelerate their move into users' living rooms as Microsoft battles it out with Roku, Boxee, Apple TV and various Google TV enabled devices.
Commenting on the rumors a Microsoft rep said, "As we announced at E3, we are committed to bringing TV entertainment to Xbox around the world through partnerships with industry leading operator and content partners. We look forward to sharing more partner news in the near future, but we have nothing to announce at this time."
In addition to the Comcast and Verizon Fios tie-ins, talks are supposedly ongoing with television manufacturer Samsung to build some sort of Window Live gaming hub into the manufacturer's TVs.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Kinect as a TV controller appeals to me more than as a game controller. (Where is my d*** remote, anyway?)
However they need to find a way to output at least 1080i for me to adopt it.
What fascinates me most about this article is the one that it precedes -- the one that talks about Apple's "custromer satisfaction" quotient.
If Microsoft does indeed ink this deal, then satisfaction won't matter so much. Because Microsoft and Comcast will be rolling in so much dough that they'll be able to afford ignoring Apple forever.
Comcast is such a joke...the 'evil corporation' poster child just bleeding its customers while all the time reducing services/features and increasing rates.

Those in Whistler hoping to put forward a bid to relocate the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum (CSOFM) to the resort have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks.
The board of directors for the now defunct Ottawa museum has scheduled a meeting early in the new year to make a final decision on where its $1.5 million collection will be relocated.
Board member in charge of the efforts to find the new home Chris Edgell said there has already been a number of delays in the decision making process to allow more time for those interested to submit proposals.
The board met on
Dec. 5 to review the proposals submitted so far and to arrange site visits. But Edgell said another request from Whistler for a six-month extension was denied and a final decision is expected on Jan. 16 at a board meeting.
�I went to the board to try and get six more months and I failed � part of that has to do with being fair to people,� he said, noting at the time that complete proposals from other locations have been received. �There are legitimate proposals that can work already in and they have been given the opportunity to improve on those proposals and Whistler for one is saying they can�t get the capital funding in advance of saying what kind of project it will be.�
�The Ski Hall of Fame and Museum board of directors is unwilling to take a chance that they can come down to June 2013 and find out (Whistler) couldn�t get financing.�
The other contenders for the museum are Revelstoke, Rossland, Grouse Mountain and Mount Tremblant.
The Whistler bid would see the construction of a new building at the eastern corner of Whistler Olympic Plaza and would include relocating the Whistler Museum into the building, plus provide archive space to the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
A request to speak to Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden about whether council still had an appetite for the proposal and if the land was still considered as an option for the museum was denied by the municipality�s communication department earlier this month.
A local business group led by retired developer and ex-chamber board member Peter Alder took up the work of making the bid. He estimated a new facility would require fundraising of up to
$10 million. Alder also noted there are architectural designs for a museum space on the proposed location developed before the Olympics that never came to fruition.
Executive director of the Whistler Museum Sarah Drewery confirmed the resort�s proposal will be submitted to the CSOFM in time, but finding the money has been an issue.
�We beautifully match all the criteria except the big one, which is the funding and we really want it to come here, but it isn�t something that will happen very quickly,� Drewery said, adding fundraising efforts are ongoing. �It is a really good fit for Whistler and I think the Canadian Ski Museum would like to see it here because we have the visitor numbers.�
Linking the local museum with the national one, she added, would be great from a cultural tourism perspective and allow the Whistler Museum to expand as well.
�I feel like we are reaching a point of what we can develop while we are in this building,� Drewery said, noting the organization�s current space is restricted. �To be able to get the museum into a better position would be fantastic for us.
�The history of skiing in Canada and the history of Whistler has a strong correlation.�
Back in February in a story in The Question, Alder recognized the timelines set out by the board of directors for the CSOFM were optimistic.
With several delays to the original timetable for the relocation already, Edgell reiterated adding more time onto the process would not be fair to those who have met the deadlines.
Edgell added with 2013 being the year leading up to the Olympics in Sochi with a great men�s team competing, the museum wants to capitalize on that momentum.
�We don�t want to be in the backseat with no ski hall of fame and no museum � we have to get going.�
The museum has been on a hunt since the spring of 2011 for a new location because it could no longer afford its premises in Ottawa.
The Canadian Museum of History remains open to discussions with the museum and hall of fame to accept the collection there should the relocation efforts not come to fruition.

Install Win 7 on 2012 iMac
Hi all,
I have the 2012 iMac (SSD) and have spent the best part of the morning trying to install Win 7 via Boot Camp but without luck. It seems the issue is I am using an external DVD superdrive and it is not possible to finish the install using the Win 7 DVD. Looked at other options (new disk image from the DVD - rename cdr to iso, boot camp assistant to create USB install - which hangs) but nothing working so far! Is there an easy guide to this somewhere please? Just want Win 7 via the DVD to install! |
0 |
Jan 25, 2013, 03:15 PM | #2 |
How far through the install process is the install getting? One of the first things Win 7 does is copy the complete installation image to the HDD. After that's done the DVD is no longer needed.

Hi all,
This was much harder than I though. I couldn't get the install completed using a USB connected Apple Superdrive. In the end I downloaded an ISO (3Gb) from Microsoft and went through Boot Camp assistant to create the USB bootable flash stick. A few other pointers in case it helps others:
Otherwise all OK. Installed Kaspersky and all done. Not sure I am that pleased with seeing Windows on my shiny new iMac but need it for something. Good luck for anyone trying this. |

National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins, MD, PhD, announced the selection of Gary H. Gibbons, MD, as the next director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute(NHLBI). Dr. Gibbons is the founder and currently serves as director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute, chairperson of the Department of Physiology, and professor of physiology and medicine at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA.
Dr. Gibbons has served as a member of the NHLBI Advisory Council (NHLBAC) since 2009. Prior to being named director, he was also a member of the NHLBI Board of Extramural Experts, a working group of the NHLBAC. As director, Dr. Gibbons will oversee NIH's third largest Institute, an annual budget of more than $3 billion, and a staff of 917 federal employees. Dr. Gibbons will also direct his own lab at NIH, focusing on predictive health and genomic medicine in minority populations.
Upon earning his undergraduate degree from Princeton University, Dr. Gibbons graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Medical School and went on to complete his residency and a cardiology fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Prior to joining Morehouse School of Medicine in 1999, Dr. Gibbons was a member of the faculty at Stanford University from 1990 to1996 and Harvard Medical School from 1996 to 1999.
Dr. Gibbons' Cardiovascular Research Institute is preeminent in discovery science related to cardiovascular health of minority populations. He directs research in the fields of vascular biology, genomic medicine, and the pathogenesis of vascular disease, for which he has received several patents for related innovations and 15 NHLBI-supported grants since 1997. His program is involved in collaborations that focus on discovering the functional significance of epigenetic and genomic variations and their potential roles in susceptibility to cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Gibbon's illustrious career has earned him many honors. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Sciences, awarded the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Minority Faculty Development Fellowship, selected as a Pew Biomedical Scholar by the Pew Charitable Trusts, and recognized as an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association.
Dr. Gibbons is expected to join the NIH leadership team this summer. Dr. Susan Shurin will continue to lead NHLBI as the Institute's acting director, returning to her position of deputy director of the Institute upon Dr. Gibbons' arrival.

RIT is moving to semesters in Fall 2013. Our coursesand much moreare being changed. In particular, the Advanced Certificate in Statistical Quality Certificate will become the Advanced Certificate in Lean Six Sigma Certificate, and the Advanced Certificate in Statistical Methods for Product and Process Improvement will be changed and named the Advanced Certificate in Applied Statistics. The masters in Applied Statistics will be available in semesters. Links for the new information for each program in semesters can be found on each of their pages below.
Introduction Options for Study Full-Time and Part-Time Study BS/MS Programs Cooperative Education Online Learning Admission Procedure Transfer and Interdisciplinary Credits Non-Matriculated Students Financial Assistance Advising
Introduction Statistics is the science of making decisions in the face of uncertainty. Statistical thinking and methods are used over a broad spectrum of industrial, research, educational, business, and government activities. The Kate Gleason College of Engineering at RIT, through the John D. Hromi Center for Quality and Applied Statistics, offers a Master of Science degree in applied statistics that provides state-of-the-art statistical thinking and methods. The College also offers two advanced certificates. The advanced certificate in statistical quality is for students whose primary interest is in the field of quality. The advanced certificate in statistical methods for product and process improvement is for students who want to learn key ways to characterize and optimize processes.
The faculty of the Center for Quality and Applied Statistics is a distinguished group that includes winners of the American Society for Quality's Shewhart Medal, Grant Award, Brumbaugh Award, and Shewell Award; a past president of the society; and fellows of ASQ and the American Statistical Association.

Options for Study The MS degree, which requires 30 semester credits (equivalent of 10 courses), is available to both part-time and full-time students. Students working toward their baccalaureate degree in certain departments at RIT are eligible to apply for a joint BS/MS program. Cooperative education options are also available.
Many of our students are full-time professionals who want to learn state-of-the art statistical techniques to enhance their careers and their value to their companies. Other MS students are full-time professionals who want to change careers and become statistical consultants for their companies. MS students who do not fit the full-time professional category typically use the degree to gain employment as statisticians.
The MS program is primarily intended for those students who do not wish to pursue a degree beyond the MS. However, a number of our former students are either working on, or have attained a Ph.D. at other universities.
Both advanced certificates are available to part-time students. Most of our advanced-certificate students are full-time professionals who want to enhance their careers and make themselves more valuable employees. Courses are offered both in on-campus and online-learning formats and consist of a subset of the courses in the MS program. The online-learning option makes these certificates especially appealing to students who are not able to attend classes on the RIT campus. An eligible student wishing to continue in the MS program may apply all courses taken in a certificate program toward the MS degree.
All three programs are registered by the New York State Education Department and are accredited by the Middle States Association of the Council for Higher Education. (The United States organizes their accrediting bodies regionally, and the Middle States is the highest regional accreditation available. So this should be considered as a national accreditation.)
Full-Time and Part-Time Options Full-time students will normally take three courses per semester and can complete the MS degree in four terms. Students pursuing the MS on a part-time basis (one or two courses per term) typically complete the degree in two to four years. Students pursuing an advanced certificate on a part-time basis typically complete the requirements in four semesters of study.
BS/MS Programs The Center has agreements with RIT's Departments of Mathematics and of Industrial and Systems Engineering to allow students to earn both BS and MS degrees in less time and fewer courses than would be needed if both programs were pursued separately. The undergraduate departments handle entry into these programs.
Cooperative Education Cooperative education allows qualified graduate students to attend school on a full-time basis in certain semesters, and to earn a substantial salary in other semesters, typically as an employee in a corporation. To qualify for cooperative education, students must complete at least one semester of appropriate course work and receive department approval. Reverse cooperative education is also available, in which full-time employees get approval to study on a full-time basis, typically by alternating one or two semesters of work and study.
Online Learning RIT has distinguished itself as one of the premiere online learning programs in the nation. Since 1979, when RIT offered its first distance learning course, the Institute has been a leader in the use of electronic forms of communication for course interaction. Our online-learning courses have the same objectives, rigorous workload, tuition and academic credit as our on-campus courses. Both the MS degree and the advanced certificates are available through online learning. There is no distinction made between taking courses on campus or through online learning. In particular, programs earned partly or entirely through online learning are registered by the New York State Education Department and are accredited by the Middle States Association of the Council for Higher Education.
Every online-learning course offered by the center meets the rigorous standards required by RIT. Each course typically features either CDs or streaming video. Courses also include live chat sessions or asynchronous discussion groups, using an electronic medium that allows students and the instructor to interact.
Because online-learning courses are designed for the motivated professional who is not able to attend on-campus classes, we recommend enrollment of online learners to those over 25 years of age with at least 3 years of professional employment.
Admission Admission to the MS degree program will be granted to qualified holders of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university who have an acceptable GPA and mathematics credits, including acceptable grades in a two-semester (or three-quarter) sequence of university-level calculus, and acceptable probability and statistics college credits. An undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is strongly recommended. Applicants who fail to meet these requirements may possibly be admitted on a contingency basis - they will be required to complete these prerequisites prior to matriculation in the graduate program.
Admission to the certificate program in Lean Six Sigma requires a baccalaureate degree with a probability and statistics requirement but not calculus. Admission to the certificate program in Apllied Statisticsrequires a baccalaureate degree with a probability and statistics requirement and one course in calculus.
Entrance exams are not required. However, international students whose native language is not English must have a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based). Courses are offered on an open-enrollment basis.
Procedure To be considered for admission it is necessary to file an application, submit transcripts of all previous undergraduate and graduate work, obtain two letters of recommendation, and pay an application fee. (RIT graduates do not have to pay this fee.) Forms and instructions, including quarterly offerings and registration forms, may be obtained by writing to: Director of Admissions Rochester Institute of Technology Bausch & Lomb Center 60 Lomb Memorial Drive Rochester, NY 14623-5604. You can also apply online at the Online Application webpage .
Transfer and Interdisciplinary Credits Credit for courses of graduate stature from other universities in statistics, mathematics, computer programming, operations research, and other quantitative fields related to statistics may be accepted toward fulfillment of degree requirements at the discretion of the department with due regard to the candidate's objectives. A maximum of nine graduate credits can be accepted toward the MS degree, while three credits may be accepted toward the certificate. A course used toward fulfillment of another degree can only be credited if it corresponds to one of the core courses described below. Transfer credits for the certificate must be from a course covering the same subject matter as the course being waived.
To ensure credit toward the degree, the candidate should write the department indicating courses for which he or she would like transfer credit. Prior approval of such courses is required. While these matters would be discussed with the candidate's adviser at various times during the advisement process, it is essential that all agreements be documented in writing. A letter to the department will ensure appropriate recognition of any work completed externally toward the degree.
Non-Matriculated Students While we recommend that a formal application be made before beginning coursework, it is not necessary to be formally admitted or matriculated into the MS program in order to register for course offerings. If a student decides to register for a course before applying, we strongly recommend that the student first contact the department chair for proper course selection. In any event, students who desire to enter the MS program will be allowed to apply only four courses taken prior to matriculation into the program. This is done to encourage proper selection of courses and to allow for adequate administrative time for transcript review. Under no circumstances will grades earned in these courses be used to admit students who otherwise would not have been admitted into the MS program. Students who desire to enter the advanced certificate program will be allowed to apply only two courses taken prior to matriculation into the program.
Financial Assistance The department awards financial assistance on a competitive basis to qualified applicants. Assistance in the MS program is offered in several forms, including scholarships and graduate assistantships. Awards are generally given to full-time students, with some exceptions for qualified part-time students. For information on other sources of financial assistance, applicants should review RIT's Graduate Bulletin.
Advising In consultation with a faculty adviser, a total program structured to achieve individual professional objectives is worked out with each student.Students are encouraged to contact their adviser on a regular basis to review their progress toward meeting program requirements. Non-matriculated students who wish to be advised should contact the department chair.

Delph Leads Eagles Past Bearcats
Wilmore, Ky. - Adam Delph tied the game for the Asbury men late in the second half, then gave them the lead in overtime and added emphasis with a dunk at the end as the Eagles defeated the Brescia Bearcats 65-59 on Tuesday night in the Luce Center.
Delph (Louisville, Ky.) did a little bit of everything on this night, scoring 11 points, grabbing nine rebounds, dishing out four assists, swiping three steals and even blocking one shot. Delph started grabbing hold of the game with just under three minutes left in regulation and tied the game at 54-54.
Neither team would score in the final 2:57, and Justin Jones (Hazard, Ky.) blocked a shot by Anthony Ingram with three seconds left. Jones would finish with four blocks, four points and nine rebounds. In overtime Asbury would take an early lead on a free throw but Aaron Tandy quickly answered for the Bearcats with a driving lay-up.
Delph would give the Eagles their fourth and final lead of the game at 57-56 with two free throws with 2:47 left. Brock Hurtle (North Vernon, Ind.) would hit a jumper and Brian Johnson (Wilmore, Ky.) would add two free throws to push the lead to 61-57. Delph would then cap off his all-out-effort night with a breakaway dunk with 21 seconds left and a defensive rebound at the other end to seal it for the Eagles. Delph and Phillip Morrison would each add a free throw to bring the final to 65-59.
Morrison led the Eagles with 16 points but struggled from the field making only six-of-25 shots. He would also come up big with a game-high five assists. Johnson led the team with 10 rebounds and finished with nine points.
Brescia was led by Anthony Ingram's double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, but was limited to just three points in the second half as Brescia shot 19% in the second half and overtime combined. Both teams shot under 35% for the game but Asbury would hit nine-of-27 threes while Brescia made only five-of-23.
Asbury will travel to Pippa Passes to take on Alice Lloyd on Thursday January 28th at 8:00 pm before returning home to host St. Louis College of Pharmacy at 3:00 pm on Think Pink Day to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness.

I'm currently enrolled in an M.Ed program and will be student teaching in a couple of semesters. Does anyone have any suggestions for preparing for the first year of teaching?
Love to be part of this group! I think this is best platform to discuss and share tips on organizing and setting up classroom activity as well as welcoming preschool students to classroom management strategies and induce them with the skills of learning.
I have started a blog for teaching social studies and literacy. There are lots of resources for K-12 on the website. My two most recent posts are on First Week of School activities and on Teaching about Native American culture groups. Come by and visit. http://www.historyquesters.com
Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...
I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!
My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.
I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.
If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.
We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!
Our twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire
Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

At best, Joel Hanrahan is a good reliever. He strikes out a lot of batters (career 9.9 K/9), throws hard (consistent 96 MPH fastball), and possesses a good "out" pitch (slider has been worth 30.8 RAA in career). Yet, despite owning a perfectly projectable career 3.74 ERA vs. 3.78 xFIP, the righty's peripherally-putrid 2012 campaign casts a shadow on his recent jettison to Boston, and subsequent named-role as closer.

J.Lo Recreates Her Greatest Fashion Hits in New Video
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music2 days agoJennifer Lopez has gone old school in her latest music video by recreating some of her greatest fashion hits, while "flipping the script" by cavorting with nearly naked male hunks in the clip for "I Luh Ya PaPi," featuring French Montana.
The video opens with Jenny From the Block and her back-up dancers discussing the shoot's theme with a clueless male record company executive. After they ridicule his terrible ideas, one of her dancers asks, "Why can't we objectify the men?"
Following that, the mother of two 6-year-old twins opens the clip for the dance-floor banger sitting on a bed with a few naked men, wearing a jumpsuit reminiscent of the green Versace gown with the plunging neckline that she made famous at the 2000 Grammy Awards.
Trace Adkins: Out of Rehab and Back on Stage at the Opry
Craig Rosen at Our Country3 days agoFor Trace Adkins, the road to recovery included a surprise stop at the Grand Ole Opry Wednesday night. The "You're Gonna Miss This" singer hopped on stage with Exile to perform the band's 1978 hit "Kiss You All Over," which Adkins covered with group in 2013 on his "Love Will..." album.
Adkins looked mean and lean in a black long-sleeve T-shirt and black hat in a photo tweeted by the Opry, which also offered a supportive message.
Did you hear about tonight's surprise?@TraceAdkins came out to sing w/ Exile! Great to have him home! #Opry pic.twitter.com/b2eUhYZCas
Exile also offered props to its surprise duet partner.
How cool to have Trace Adkins with us to perform our duet of "Kiss You All Over" for the first time on the Opry!!... http://t.co/L7H3HJ5Bo4
How Justin Bieber Ranks: Most Overexposed but Not Highest Paid
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music5 days agoMore bad news for Justin Bieber. And this time it doesn't involve smoked-out planes or posing for police portaits.
A day after Billboard's list of Music's Top 40 Money Makers 2014 had the Biebs failing to crack the top 10, Forbes has released a new list of The Most Overexposed Celebrities and Bieber is on top thanks to a long list of bad-boy moments in recent months.
Justin Bieber Makes Surprise Appearance at SXSW — With Selena Gomez
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music6 days agoLeave it to Bieber. Not only did pop's most notorious/annoying bad boy make a surprise appearance Sunday night at South by Southwest, but he serenaded on-and-off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez from the stage.
Bieber's acoustic set at Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden featured "Boyfriend" and "As Long as You Love Me," the latter of which he dedicated to Gomez. "This next song goes out to my baby," the Biebs said, before launching into the tune. And Gomez, who is back on with Bieber, was there to take it all in.
André 3000 as Jimi Hendrix: Is He Experienced?
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music10 days agoRock biopics are tricky to get right. Sometimes it works — as was the case of Joaquin Phoenix's spot-on portrayal of Johnny Cash in the 2005 flick "Walk the Line" — and other times we wind up with Chad Lowe channeling John Denver in the cringe-worthy "Take Me Home."
"Jimi: All Is by My Side," the Jimi Hendrix biopic starring OutKast's André 3000 (real name André Benjamin) in the title role, won't have its official premiere until next Wednesday at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, during South by Southwest. So it's too soon to give the final verdict on André 's portrayal of Hendrix, but some footage from the film has leaked, and we thought it instructive to compare them with actual clips of Hendrix.
Word of warning: the scenes are strictly dialogue. The Hendrix estate didn't bless the filmmakers with any of Hendrix's classic original music. Instead, the final film will feature André as Hendrix cover the Beatles, the Troggs, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, and others.

Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music11 days agoBack in the late '80s, the Rave-Ups were a critically acclaimed Los Angeles-based band straddling the line between rock and country. Songs like "Positively Lost Me" led them to a major recording contract with Epic Records, while the connections landed them a role in seminal '80s teen flick "Pretty in Pink."
Frontman Jimmer Podrasky was dating Molly Ringwald's older sister, Beth, who eventually gave birth to Podrasky's child, Chance. After his son was born, Podrasky took time off from the music scene to raise Chance as a single dad. Now, he's back with his "The Would-Be Plans," his first new music in 23 years, released under the name of "Jimmer." Produced by former Smash Mouth drummer and current Dwight Yoakam sideman Mitch Marine, and featuring fellow Yoakam band player guitarist Brian Whelan, as well as multi-instrumentalist Ted Russell Kamp, it'll undoubtedly find a following with old Rave-Ups fans as well as new converts.
Wild Honey Stage All-Star Tribute to the Beatles for a Good Cause
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music13 days agoFollowing the onslaught of attention focused on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America last month, you'd think we'd have enough of the Fab Four for a while. But you'd be wrong.
The musical collective known as Wild Honey staged another Beatles tribute Saturday at the Wilshire-Ebell Theater in Los Angeles. This wasn't tied into the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first U.S. visit, but rather focused on performances of the albums "Revolver" and "Abbey Road" with an all-star cast of musicians donating their time, and it was for a good cause. The proceeds of the event went to benefit the Autism Think Tank and Children's Music Fund.
And it should be noted that Wild Honey isn't just jumping on the Beatles' 50th bandwagon. They staged a similar show last year in North Hollywood that was so popular they decided to expand and take the next one over the hill to a larger venue to accommodate the crowd.
Coldplay Sneaks Out Singles in Advance of New Album, 'Ghost Stories'
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music13 days agoUntil last week's release of "Midnight," Coldplay has been fairly quiet. Aside from the track "Atlas," released in the summer of 2013 on "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack, Chris Martin and company had been missing in action.
But now Coldplay is making up for lost time, announcing a release date for its new album, and dropping yet another new track. Coldplay's sixth album, "Ghost Stories," is due on May 19 and the first single from the album, "Magic," is available now for streaming and from iTunes for purchase or as an immediate premium if you pre-order the album. If physical product is more your bag, Target will issue a deluxe CD with three bonus tracks.
While the delicate and fey "Midnight" earned the band comparisons with indie stalwart Bon Iver, on "Magic," the band cranks it up a few notches. Driven by a minimalist beat, the band ingeniously adds more layers as the track progresses, with Martin's voice reaching new highs. Still, we wouldn't exactly call it a rocker.
Lorde's 'Royals' is the Latest Featured in Springsteen's Coverpalooza
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music13 days agoBruce Springsteen had a novel idea for his tour of Australia and New Zealand. At every tour date, the Boss and the E Street Band played a cover of a song that was originally recorded by an artist connected to the region they were visiting.
In the latest installment of the Boss' "coverpalooza," Springsteen busted out a cover of Lorde's "Royals" on Saturday and Sunday at Mt. Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand that swaps the teenager's modern beatbox sound for an acoustic guitar, transforming the song into a dustbowl ballad while Springsteen refers to himself as "King B."
That followed Springsteen's New Orleans-tinged take on the Bee Gees' 1977 classic disco hit "Stayin' Alive" on Feb. 26 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Once again, Springsteen tackled the cover as the set's opener, armed with an acoustic guitar; but he also let a string section, horns, and guitarist Tom Morello loose on his re-imagining of the dance floor favorite.
Why You Won't Be Seeing Lady Gaga Perform Inside a Giant Doritos Vending Machine at SXSW
Craig Rosen at Yahoo Music17 days agoIf your South By Southwest dream was to see Lady Gaga perform inside a giant Doritos vending machine, it's turned into a nightmare. The city of Austin has denied the necessary permits required for the Mother Monster to perform at the Doritos Stage during SXSW because of safety concern, city officials said.
For the past few years, Doritos has set up a stage that looks like a giant vending machine in the parking lot of Carmelo's Italian Restaurant. Although the venue is outside, Austin Police Cmdr. William Manno told KXAN-TV that the venue can only accommodate about 800 people. Doritos has had no comment on the matter.
"Those 800 will get in, but it's the thousands of others that will come and try to sneak a peak, and try to hear, that that particular area will just not accommodate," he said.

A person passionate about the internet and computers is ideally suited for a position in web development. A web developer is also known as a web content developer or a front-end developer. A Web developer is someone who programs web pages, and is more focused on the way a website works than how it looks. Some developers freelance their skills to various organizations. Others choose to outsource their skills to organizations by using their expertise to act as consultants or independent contractors.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
The front-end developer is responsible for programming the code that "tells" a website how to function. He or she is the first to design and write the code for a web site. A developer builds a web site from the bottom up, which means designing the web site in such a way that both old and new end users have no difficulty navigating the site. Site navigation includes designing a web site that can be accessed from any web browser, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, among others.
A front-end developer builds and maintains web sites with the client and consumer in mind. That is, the end design must include products offered and how clients may access services. Building a user-friendly web site is challenging and rewarding, not to mention an essential skill for front-end developers. Applying code to form function and design is an important part of web design. For example, a customer may want a form to capture an end user's e-mail to request additional information, provide a newsletter, or thank a customer for their business. A developer aware of the many facets of web design, from the smallest detail to end-user functionality, is the ideal person for this position.
Patience is likely the most valuable skill a front-end developer can develop. Customers can have extravagant, unrealistic expectations for the practical design of a web site. End users, such as customers, clients or company personnel, may accidentally insert code, or a simple design might be too complicated for end users. At times, dealing with clients and end users can be far more difficult than designing the required computer programming.
The ability to design and use a database is also important. Databases are used to determine accuracy and performance in web site maintenance and design. A database avoids repetition of code in a web site or design. Oracle, Structured Query Language (SQL) or MySQL are common database management systems utilized for web development. Oracle is a costly database management program and may not be appropriate for small business educations. Oracle is largely reserved for large corporations, government, or institutional intranets. SQL and MySQL are open-source platforms and are free to the public. The database enables an end user to access the items available through a web site, such as order forms, to access information or to capture credit card data.
A front-end developer needs to know how to provide web content in a user-friendly environment. This task provides a challenging aspect to web site development and maintenance. The web site should not be so simple that it does not appeal to advanced users, nor should it be so complicated that the beginner is easily lost in the process. In a very real sense, a front-end developer is in a position to educate others in the use of the web site or platform.
Experience is highly desirable in a developer, and a front-end developer can be self-taught. However, certification is required by many employers, and if one works as an independent, some customers may ask for a certificate. There are online courses that offer free web development certification courses, or a person may wish to gain an associate's degree in web development.
The workplace of a developer varies depending on the type of assignment the front-end developer chooses. A designer may work full or part-time in an office Information Technology (IT) department or may choose to conduct business at home. Travel may be involved if a developer freelances or moves from one company site to another. This flexibility in workplace or the ability to work independently enhances the career of a front-end developer. For example, a company may go bankrupt, but a person skilled as a web content developer has the option to move to another company or start an independent business.
The base salary for a developer is $50,000 annually with full benefits. They may also charge $15 to $20 hourly as a contractor or freelancer. Those who choose to be independent from a company are responsible for taxes and their own benefits, such as retirement and health care.

Introduction || Conservation || Census || Archeology || Forests Management || Special Projects || Constraints || Conflicts || Action Points
Introduction Bandipur Tiger Reserve situated in Mysore District of Karnataka State of India was among the first nine Tiger Reserves created in India at the launch of Project Tiger in 1973. It is contiguous to Madhumalai Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu state to south and Wynad Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala state to the south-west.To the north-west lies Nagarhole National Park. The highest peak is Gopalaswamy hill.
The main perennial rivers of the Reserve are Nugu, Kabini and Moyar. The Nugu river flows in the middle of the Reserve. Whereas, the Moyar river forms the southern boundary between this reserve and Madhumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. The Kabini river, across which a major irrigation dam has come up at Beechanahalli, forms the boundary between this Reserve and Nagarhole
National Park of Karnataka. The Kabini reservoir provides water facility and the grazing ground on the foreshore, for hundreds of elephants during severe and prolonged pinch period. Seasonal streams like Wadli, Chammanahalla, Aidasanahattihalla, Hebballa, Warranchi, Chippanahalla and Mavinahalla are also present.
There are a few natural & artificial saltlicks available in the Reserve and are being regularly used by the wild animals. This park is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve - the first 'Biosphere Reserve' of India.
^ Top
Conservation History A Sanctuary of 90 sq. km. area was created in Bandipur Reserve Forest in 1931. Venugopala Wildlife Park was constituted in 1941, extending over 800 sq. km. The Park was named after the deity, Venugopala of the shrine atop this hill. Bandipur Tiger reserve was formed by including most of the forest area of the then Venugopala Wildlife Park and its sanctum sanctorum at Bandipur, in the year 1973 and named Bandipur National Park. All the forests included in the Reserve are reserved forests notified prior to independence. Notification for proposed Bandipur National Park was issued in 1985.
Archeology Venugopala Swami Temples
Forest Types Dry deciduous scrub, Southern tropical/Dry deciduous & Southern Tropical Moist Mixed deciduous forests cover the reserve area. Major Flora Main Species Tectona grandis, Dalbergia latifolia, Pterocarpus marsupium, Adina cordifolia, Grewia tiliaefolia, Amblica officianalis, lagerstroemia lanceolata, Terminalia tomentosa, Anogeisus latifolia, Terminalia chebula, Schleichera trijuga, Odina wodiar, Butea monosperma, Cassia fistula, Dendrcalamus strictus, Bambusa arundinacea,Chloroxylon swetenia, Acacia catechu, Shorea talura, Randia uliginosa Major Fauna Main Species Tiger, Leopard, Elephant, Gaur, Sambar, Spotted deer, Sloth bear, Mouse deer, Wild dog, Four horned Antelope. Endangered Species Tiger, Four horned Antelope, Gaur, Elephant, Panther, Sloth bear, Crocodiles, Mouse deer, Python, Osprey, Pea fowl.
Management Practices, Achievements and Shortfalls The protection measures undertaken against cattle grazing, smuggling of forest produce, forest fires and poaching right from the creation of the Reserve have resulted in improvement of vegetation and multiplication of wild animals. The forest which were once hacked by the local villagers have responded extremely well in the form of spectacular natural regeneration of bamboo and other species with significant improvement in the canopy cover. Improvement of the floral composition supports larger number of wild animals. Gradual increase in the density of wild animals in general and the tigers in particular, natural regeneration of vegetation, improvement of water regimes, microclimate, ecology, environment and reduction in loss of soil run-off are major achievements.
Special Projects Salim Ali Institute of Ornithology (SICON), Comibatore : Habitat changes in the Reserve. Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore : Man-Animal Conflicts University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore : Mites. New Initiatives Eco-development To reduce the pressure on the Reserve by the people living adjacent to the park, eco-development works are being carried out in and around the villages situated on the periphery of the Reserve. Protection Squads / Patrolling 14 patrolling camps have been established to check the poaching of wild animals. Education and Awareness Environmental awareness camps for school children and teachers are being conducted regularly.
Constraints Human population There is no settlement inside the Reserve. 200 villages situated adjacent to the Reserve (within 5 km.) with a human population of around 1,60,000 (1991 census) lead to the problem of illicit collection of fuel wood and smuggling by head loads near Hnagala, Channamalllipur and Bargi. The commercial use of fuel wood for tobacco and turmeric curing is also going up. Livestock population The prevalence of illicit grazing in the fringes is by 1,80,000 (1991 census) livestock heads. Grazing Core of the reserve is more or less free from grazing pressure but there are 1,80,000 cattle heads in the five-kilometre radius of the Reserve. The prevalence of illicit grazing of livestock from the villages on the periphery of the Reserve affects the habitat and is potential source of diseases for the wild animals. About one third of the Reserve area is affected by cattle and has become unsuitable for the wild herbivore. The elephants, which were in the habit of foraging in the fringe in the rainy season, now visit cultivated areas outside the Reserve for foraging, and thus cause severe conflicts between people and the Reserve. Hence, the problem of cattle grazing is an issue, which needs special attention to resolve the conflict and also to reduce the pressure on the Reserve. Fire The Reserve suffers from frequent fires due to accumulated leaf litter and deadwood on the floor. Most of the fires are ground fires and man-made for the following reasons:
Poaching of fauna and flora The poaching of male elephants for ivory has been a major problem of this Reserve. The local people also connive and sometimes indulge in elephant poaching. Smuggling of timber, small poles and bamboo, and removal of firewood by head-loads is also prevalent. Poaching of wildlife
Offence cases during 1993-98
Criminals and Extremists During October 1997, notorious poacher and sandal wood smuggler, Veerappan, kidnapped some staff members and tourists from the tourism zone, who were fortunately released after a fortnight but the threat remains. Highways State highways Mysore-Ooty and Gundlupet-Sultanbathery are passing through the Park. Traffic is very heavy and occasional accidents of wild animals take place during night. Diseases Localised foot rot to spotted deer was noticed in the tourism zone around Bandipur in 1997. Weeds Invasion of habitat by the exotic plants like Lantana and Eupatorium has reduced fodder availability.
Conflicts Man-Animal Man-Animal conflicts are quite common in the Reserve due to depredation by the wild animals outside the Reserve
Wild Animals-Forest No serious damage to the forest by wild animals has been observed so far and it is not a cause for concern at present.
