So when exactly will you get iOS 5 on your device? That's easy -- it'll be available this coming fall with a developer seed arriving today. And what devices will be capable of running iOS? That's another easy one as well. It'll support all the same devices as last time. For those of you who might not remember what they were last time:
No surprises there, everything is as was expected for iOS 5 releases. Now all we have to do is wait it out until fall rolls around.
[Image via Engadget]
Will this iOS be split up so that AT&T will get it first then Verizon or will it just be launched to everyone?
This sounds very promising all of us....well except for RIM (hahahaha)
So if I sign up to become a developer, can I get iOS 5 today?
yep, for $100 (I believe that's the price point... but I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong. I'm talking to you, d00d. lol)
You should read the comments on the dev boards, from people who manage to get in there from purchasing access from online sites.
This is a BETA, and not for the average user, which people like you don't understand. It is supposed to be installed on a SEPARATE device, not your main device, as it can disable features or whatnot.
The average user doesn't understand this, and freaks out when they get a bug. I've seen comments cursing Apple about glitchy releases, then get verbally beat down by REAL devs, explaining the definition of BETA!!!
Ignore Ethan. Apple never releases a beta that'll damage your iDevice. Just get on PirateBay later tonight when it's released to devs (someone's going to seed it, I promise) or something and get a torrent for it. I did that with iOS 4.3 weeks before it was released through iTunes and had no issues with it.
Nobody said it would damage your device. However, seeing as it was just released yesterday none of the apps will be supported and half the stuff on your phone may not work at all. I'd say that'd be reason enough not to screw around. The point here is for DEVELOPERS to get the beta and work out the BUGS, and make sure their APPS work with it, so that WE won't be cussin' and spitting venom when it is released to the average user.
I have an iphone 3GS and have been on the fence on upgrading to Iphone4 or a newer version if announced or going to android. I really want to say that ios5 won me over but it didn't. Other than notifications, nothing else was that great. Even then, notifications was just on par with everyone else. Without new hardware, I don't think iphone has won me over.
As an Apple fanboy who was stuck with an Android (Samsung Captivate) phone for six months, I can assure you iOS is way better than any Android phone. And iOS 5 is going to show it.
As an apple fanboy, nothing you say about Android OS has any merit.
I'm a recent convert from iOS to android, and have to say that after the initial learning curve (where did patience go, anyhow?), android allows the user much more freedom, albeit without all the hand-holding that iOS offers.
Do you want a semi-auto .22 pistol with a safety? Or do you want a fully-auto .50 machine gun that destroys everything in your sights?
I was a bit underwhelmed by iOS 5, I'm not gonna lie. I'm much more excited about iCloud, free(ish) MobileMe, and OS X Lion. Oh well, there are only a few more things, I suppose, that Apple can do to improve the iPhone (whilst maintaining great battery life). So I guess we'll hafta wait until iOS 6 and iPhone 6. That will probably finish off everybody's iOS wish list, I would imagine.
I sure hope that there is a way to disable the twitter features, since I'm not a sociable person.
SMS custom tones please!
Not even a mention of new hardware and that angers me. IOS 5.0 looks good but not even a mention.
Well, with the only exception of having to wait til fall for iOS 5, I'm pretty happy with what they've announced today. I'm OK with waiting a few more months if it means getting a better and more refined final product in the long run. For me the main things were notifications and wireless synching, which were long overdue. Everything else was pretty nice, too. Today was about the software; maybe tomorrow or Wednesday they'll bring out some hardware.
Will there be a way to install the seed to a non-dev device? I have seen this before, am I correct?
for iOS4 I know you could download the GM candidate before it was publicly released because I think somebody just uploaded the file (illegal I'm sure)..I want ios5 NOW!!
Don't download and install the beta without being a dev!
It verifies your device against a list in the developer program and so will fail to update, potentially bricking your device.
(info based on iOS4 release)
Never try to put the iOS gm seed on your iPhone if you aren't a developer. When you become a developer your device is put into the system as a dev device and any standard device won't have this. That means that you won't be able to update and apple may find out. This could also brick your iPhone and not let you access it.
why such a long delay? It is still spring. This wont come out until Fall? 4-6 months away?
Did I miss the comments about the new iphone 5?
No mention of any hardware ruined the WWDC for me...I skipped upgrading to the ip4 so I could hold out for the 4S or 5..whatever they are gonna call it. OS5 looks good, but no new hardware mention killed it for me.
My cracked-screen 3G has lost true GPS (only triangulation works now) and WiFi strength is slowly dropping. I was really really hoping for a new phone to be announced.
Maybe I need to get one of those $49 3GS models. Does anyone know if I can get one without screwing myself out of an upgrade to the new one this fall? (I'm on month-to-month contract since December)
I'm afraid not, Kirbini. If you accept the phone at the 49 dollar price you must sign away your upgrade along with a new contract. I'd advise keeping an eye on Craigslist someone in my neighborhood posted an iPhone 4 32gig for 225 bucks, just because they got the white one. If only I hadn't been dead-broke at the time. :( I'm still holding onto my 3GS with it's dead power button.
Unfortunately, that reply didn't answer the question thoroughly... could you please tell us the exact release date of iOS 5 and iPhone 5? Exactly what date will it be released on? That would help, thanks.

After months, days, or several minutes of speculation depending on how far gone you are, the September call-ups are finally here. The list:
Johnny Monell - C
Francisco Peguero - OF
Nick Noonan - INF
Juan Perez - OF
George Kontos - HR
Ehire Adrianza - SS
Jake Dunning - RP
Heath Hembree - RP
Okay, that was mean. I still like Kontos, and his problem was likely overuse -- he's still just three innings away from the lead in the bullpen despite missing more than a month. But I'm also a weak man with a penchant for cheap shots.
Those are the names. Now it's time to rank them by how excited you are to watch them play. Unfortunately, I have to put them all on one page because of technical difficulties. Curses.
8. George Kontos
Sorry, it's not because I don't like his potential as a pitcher. I still believe. But how excited are you to see him again? As a friendly face, maybe. But it's not like he developed a gyroball over the last four weeks. You know what he features. He'll absorb some innings, but he's the least-exciting call-up by a healthy margin.
7. Nick Noonan
A solid runner-up. Maybe he has a future as a utility guy -- the best utility players weren't exactly tearing up the minors or majors when they were 24 -- but it's hard to see him being a major contributor in 2014 or 2015, even. As such, every at-bat ranks somewhere in the middle of the Juan Melo/Kevin Frandsen Excitement Scale that scientists have used for years.
6. Jake Dunning
I like watching Dunning pitch. But like Kontos, it's not like he's going to show up a foot taller and throwing from the left side. We've seen him, which tempers the excitement just a touch
5. Francisco Peguero
I don't believe. He hit .316/.354/.408 in the PCL as a 25-year-old, and the league average is .270/.342/.414. But I was told there would be tools, so I'm stubbornly going to cross my arms and wait for them. Any day now. Aaaaaaany day.
4. Juan Perez
The homegrown Jeff Francoeur has never been burdened with the expectations of a prospect, plus he's a dynamic center fielder. We've seen him before, yes, but he was doing fun, exciting things when he was up. In the field. Fun, exciting things in the field. Which makes for half of a fun, exciting player! I'll take it.
Anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that if the Cardinals developed him, he'd be on his third All-Star appearance by now. Yeah? Well, TWO IN THREE YEARS, EVERYONE, TWO IN THREE YEARS.
/puts on sweatpants
/watches GIFs from 2012 for three hours
/sighs a lot
3. Ehire Adrianza
It's worth noting again that he's ahead offensively of where Brandon Crawford was at the same age, or at least in the same zip code. But Crawford was kind of a freak development story -- I would have given him a five-percent chance of ever having even one league-average season. Expecting the same from Adrianza is silly.
But I'm excited to see the defense. Because if it's Jose Iglesias/Andrelton Simmons-style magic, it's worth being patient for. If it's Brandon Crawford-type defense, it's worth being patient for, and that would probably make Adrianza as valuable, if not more, than Joaquin Arias already.
2. Johnny Monell
He gets a Beastie Boys song stuck in my head, but I'm sure that will last only for the next five or six years. He's not a prospect -- 27 years old with oft-maligned defense -- but he's left-handed with power. Those kinds of catchers make very valuable backups. They're rare, too. Here's a list of the left-handed or switch-hitting catchers who have hit more than 15 homers in a season. It's not exactly an exclusive club, but not exactly common. Now, hopefully Monell never has a chance to hit 15 homers with the Giants, but he probably could get there if he had the at-bats.
More important to the success he could contribute to the 2014 Giants, though, I'm more interested in him making the team next year to give Hector Sanchez time in Triple-A. I mention this only every other week, and it takes great restraint to do so. I wish I knew what kind of prospect Sanchez could have become with a normal development path. Maybe Monell forces the Giants to find out, albeit belatedly.
1. Heath Hembree
The closer of the future since 1988 or so, Hembree has finally made progress with his control and command, shaving almost two full walks per nine innings off his 2012 totals.
Do you like micro-splits? I like micro-splits when they tell a story I want to believe. In July, Hembree supposedly made a mechanical adjustment. To the micro-splits!
Split | W | L | IP | H | HR | BB | SO | ||
April | 1 | 0 | 1.000 | 2.19 | 12.1 | 9 | 2 | 3 | 13 |
May | 0 | 1 | .000 | 5.73 | 11.0 | 14 | 2 | 2 | 14 |
June | 0 | 1 | .000 | 7.84 | 10.1 | 15 | 2 | 6 | 12 |
July | 0 | 1 | .000 | 2.53 | 10.2 | 8 | 1 | 4 | 15 |
August | 0 | 1 | .000 | 2.38 | 11.1 | 8 | 0 | 1 | 9 |
He has a good chance to be in the bullpen next year. Excited to watch him. More excited, even, than the other seven call-ups, as you might guess by this ranking.
There you go. September baseball. You're going to see a lot of these guys over the next 25 games or so. Act excited. Make your own list! Be polite.

Balancing Cost and Emissions Certainty: An Allowance Reserve for Cap-and-Trade
On efficiency grounds, the economics community has to date tended to emphasize price-based policies to address climate change -- such as taxes or a "safety-valve" price ceiling for cap-and-trade -- while environmental advocates have sought a more clear quantitative limit on emissions. This paper presents a simple modification to the idea of a safety valve: a quantitative limit that we call the allowance reserve. Importantly, this idea may bridge the gap between competing interests and potentially improve efficiency relative to tax or other price-based policies. The last point highlights the deficiencies in several previous studies of price and quantity controls for climate change that do not adequately capture the dynamic opportunities within a cap-and-trade system for allowance banking, borrowing, and intertemporal arbitrage in response to unfolding information.Download Info

For international students, the cross-continental journey usually doesn't consist of considering intramural sports.

You may not know her, but Joan Kjaer likely wants to know you.
The Iowa City resident is curious about others.
"I've just always, always been interested in meeting people," said Kjaer, who has a warm, motherly air about her. "I'm just always interested in people and their stories. I just like meeting new people. It happens very rarely that I don't feel some connection with someone."
By Emily Busse, The Daily Iowan
A new recruitment effort in the nation's capital could help University of Iowa officials bring in more international students.
For the first time, UI representatives traveled to Washington, D.C., and met directly with international embassies to recruit students.
And fewer than three months after the face-to-face meetings, officials said the trips have already begun to generate results.
For the past 20 years, Maureen McCue lived her childhood dream of becoming a teacher through her work as an adjunct clinical professor in The University of Iowa's College of Public Health and as an adjunct professor in UI International Programs. Although the Milwaukee native always has had a passion for teaching, many of her personal and academic interests have focused on global health. She has traveled to many countries in an effort to understand, lend support, or respond in some way to the global health challenges facing the area.
In a nearly jobless economy, William Boyd has found an alternative — leaving the economy behind and teaching English in Spain.
The UI senior, who is majoring in Spanish and international studies, is one of a growing number of students planning to become educators abroad.
"I don't have any firmed-up plans for a job right out of school, and this is my opportunity to master the Spanish language," he said.

Iowa City Press-Citizen
Fabienne Bertrand said she remembers experiencing her first earthquake when she was 5 years old and living in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
"I saw the television coming," Bertrand told a group of students at Willowwind School on Monday afternoon. "It's so weak, guys. It lasted a couple of seconds."
One freshman from Hungary learned about the UI through his grandparents. A Chinese student heard about the campus through a friend. Another discovered it on the Internet.
Some international students find the UI on their own, but university officials are hoping increased recruitment efforts abroad will help them.

Can one person own a sound?
Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod ask that question in their new documentary, Copyright Criminals, which will première nationally tonight on "Independent Lens," a PBS documentary series. The film will be shown on IPTV World at 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and 7 p.m., Wednesday. Iowa Public Television will also air it at 11 p.m. on Jan. 24.

An invisible cape flaps behind visiting scholar Qian Sun wherever she goes. Not only does the native from Shanghai teach Chinese language classes for the UI Confucius Institute, she also serves as an ambassador of Chinese culture battling against misconceptions.
By Kellie Petersen, The Daily Iowan.
In response to suffering the largest cut in state funding for higher education nationwide, UI officials are looking to bring in more out-of-state and international students than ever.
University officials are actively seeking applicants from beyond Iowa's borders to cope with the massive cuts, UI Provost Wallace Loh told members of the Faculty Council on Tuesday.
International Programs is helping coordinate the University of Iowa's response to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti Sunday. While the International Student & Scholar Services has contacted UI's Haitian students and Caribbean student groups, other offices are helping to get out the message about how the UI community can help those in need.
The UI Center for Human Rights (UICHR) sponsors the annual Burns H. Weston International Human Rights Essay Prize and is currently accepting submissions. The 2010 deadline for submissions is Feb. 1, 2010.
WorldCanvass was featured in two news stories this week, being heralded as a fresh option for offering Iowa City a taste of culture and art from around the world.
Lisa Enloe vividly recalls when her 8-year-old daughter sat down across from her at the dinner table and announced she was going to "get rich" when she grew up and then move to Africa and help people improve their lives.

Java: The Complete Reference provides a comprehensive coverage of the Java programming language for beginners and professionals in the subject.
Summary Of The Book
Java is a widely used language in the computer industry. Its importance and influence is strongly felt as it's still the first and best choice when it comes to writing programs for developing web-based applications. It's used not only across PCs and laptops, but also in smartphones. Android programming, for instance, uses Java.
This edition of Java: The Complete Reference comes about as a result of the language's dynamic nature. Java regularly undergoes change and upgradation, primarily for the purpose of keeping up with the new and ever-changing demands of the computing world. The release of this new edition reflects this dynamism.
The book has a large intended audience, catering to the needs of both the inexperienced and professional programmers. The fundamental aspects of Java are covered in sufficient detail so that the beginner doesn't get lost in the subject matter. And at the same time, the professional is provided with a coverage of the more advanced features of Java.
Java: The Complete Reference is a handy manual that contains the fundamental programming principles, keywords, and syntax generally used when writing programs based on Java. It consists of four parts, and in each part a different area of the subject is emphasized. There are thirty four chapters in all, some of the chapters being An Overview of Java, The History and Evolution of Java, Introducing Classes, Data Types, Variables, and Arrays, String Handling, Networking, Exploring NIO, Introducing the AWT: Working with Windows, Graphics, and Text, Java Beans, Servlets, and Financial Applets and Servlets.

This is an exceptional book for beginners into programming. Its the best book for people who with to know everything about Core Java.
However, I rated it 3 Stars because it does a very poor job when it comes to Swings, There is no JDBC, there is nothing about security.It has over emphasized on Applets, which became extinct last decade.
PROS: Great to begin learning Java.
CONS: Horrible for Advanced Java learners.
Short and simple examples
Extensive coverage of all topics including JDK7
Easy to understand language
Too much coverage of AWT and less of Swing
Great for a beginners book, but for professional understanding, need something like Horstmann's Core Java. Although a beginner cannot directly understand Horstmann's Core Java
In Java: The Complete Reference, Eighth Edition, bestselling programming author Herb Schildt shows you everything you need to develop, compile, debug, and run Java programs. Updated for Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 (Java SE 7), this comprehensive volume covers the entire Java language, including its syntax, keywords, and fundamental programming principles. Youâll also find information on key elements of the Java API library. JavaBeans, servlets, applets, and Swing are examined and real-world examples demonstrate Java in action.

Coverage includes:
Data types and operators
Control statements
Classes and objects
Constructors and methods
Method overloading and overriding
Interfaces and packages
Exception handling
Much, much more
If you are a novice programmer or a pro..this book will entertain your every need, certainly IT IS A COMPLETE REFERENCE.
Java is best learned when you have pre knowledge of C/C++ and I would always recommend anyone to learn C/C++ first before diving into Java, and that's what this book keeps in mind. It mostly compares topics to C/C++ concepts to better learning and make your learning speed faster than ever.
Everything is well organised and written in professional but easy language with no irrelevant or childish examples as most other books do.
Speciality of the book---
Everytime I go thru some topic, I wonder "what if I do 'this' thing??", and the next moment I find that exact point in the next topic.
Also this book is from OraclePress which certifies it's accuracy.
Fully updated latest JDK 7.
I had ordered this book the previous day and I got the book the next day even though there was no 'in a day delivery ' guarantee ! Book quality is ok ok since it is a Indian addition and not a Flipkart's fault ;) Got awesome offer. ( price was 695 and got it for 345 ! (for 3 copies=1037!)
No wonder in future flipkart's delivery will competate with a pizza delivery !
Value for money. !
About the book:
Very good book for those people who are familiar with c++ and want to learn java . Helpful to all computer engineers since most of the technical universities will have this book as a TEXTBOOK for the course.Not much space is provided for making notes and markings .But the shades at the end of the page will surely help to find the content easily. Simple language . Not so crowded with example ( examples are perfectly given where exactly is needed )
can only reduce half a star for page quality, so that makes 5 stars rounded off ;)

Tax Reform: Implications for the State-Local Public Sector
Article Citation
Courant, Paul N., and
Daniel L. Rubinfeld. 1987. "Tax Reform: Implications for the State-Local Public Sector."
Journal of Economic Perspectives,
1(1): 87-100.
DOI: 10.1257/jep.1.1.87
DOI: 10.1257/jep.1.1.87
We analyze the effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 on the level and distribution of state and local spending, and on the mix of revenue sources employed by state and local governments. We expect state and local spending to fall by between 0.9 percent and 1.9 percent, with the lower end of the range the more plausible. The conclusion that aggregate spending is unlikely to change very much does not imply that the Tax Reform Act is unimportant to the state and local public sector. The fiscal and economic circumstances of state and local governments vary enormously, and the federal tax reform will therefore affect them very differently. The relative fiscal attractiveness of localities within metropolitan areas will be altered. From both efficiency and equity perspectives, these effects on local governments are likely to be much more important than the aggregate effect on either state or local spending. Over the longer run, apart from the obvious incentive to move away from the nondeductible sales tax to other deductible taxes, the effect of tax reform on the mix of revenue instruments is difficult to predict. The new tax bill also has major implications for bond financing as it it limits the use of the tax-exempt bond instrument.

This is all about balance and the integration of power and finesse, with finely honed acidity supporting flavors of quince paste, dried black cherry, spun honey and candied orange zest, while rich notes of roasted walnut, coffee liqueur and toasted cardamom resonate on the finish. Hard to stop sipping. Drink now through 2028. (9/ 2013)
Krugs NV Brut Grande Cuvee ID 112001 disgorged already over the winter of 2011-2012 but then further aged before release reinforces the belief that, thankfully, even wine lovers of modest means who occasionally splurge on Krug Grande Cuvee will be rewarded with a wine that need not fear comparison with this houses more limited and far more expensive bottlings, nor for that matter with any other wines of Champagne. The harmonious juxtaposition of creaminess and lees enrichment with bright, juicy citricity and of expansive richness with levity is stunning....Citrus zest notes segue seamlessly into the fine stream of CO2 without bitterness, while succulent white peach garlanded in lily-of-the-valley is laced with rich, subtly piquant nut oils and saliva-liberating salinity. Emerging suggestions of shitake and shrimp shell reduction compound the sense of capital-U umami in a vibrantly interactive and refreshing finish. A day after opening, this is even more vividly complex than it had been initially, with hints of fresh red raspberry lending an invigorating tang and sensation of berry seed-crunching that delivers strikingly harmonious counterpoint to both the luscious brightness of fruit and the nutty low-tones....The team at Krug has long taken pains to emphasize that the task of assembling their Grande Cuvee from a hundred or more lots reflecting reserves of widely varying ages is mind-bogglingly complex. So is the result. (11/ 2013)
Light yellow-gold. Highly aromatic bouquet of fresh tangerine, candied fig, pear skin and ginger, plus a smoky mineral overtone. Tangy, precise and concentrated, offering a complex blend of citrus and orchard fruit and floral flavors underscored by chalky minerality. Juicy, tightly focused, youthfully angular Champagne, with nervy acidity adding cut to the long, sappy finish. I can see why some long-time Krug fans might be perplexed by this bottling but I think that it will be a really outstanding bottle with another five-plus years of cellaring. (12/ 2013)
Substantial, complex and heady, this current release of Grande Cuvée is in a constant state of change. Its flavors range from dark fruit to bright, sunny citrus, from nutty and pleasantly bitter to creamy and sweet. It carries electricity through the mineral resonance of its flavors. Masterfully blended. (12/ 2013)

Petersen: Kleichen and a Man by George Szirtes
50 secs, poem text
Most days, I listen to someone reading poetry, even if it's just clicking on the Poetry Foundation Poem of the Day in my news reader. I also stop listening very quickly if it doesn't go right, and by that, I mean, does the reader establish an end-of-line note and keep returning to it throughout the reading? If not, I'll keep listening. George Szirtes (about whom I know pretty much nothing else) avoids this phenomenon, and I like that.
Test your own reading. Pretend the reading is a musical performance for a solo instrument and listen to the note that sounds at the end of most of the lines. If you hear the same end-of-line note repeated throughout the reading, go back and deliberately vary it each time. It's a trap easily fallen into (speaking from experience here) but, once identified and acknowledged, also easily escaped from.

Johnson Hopes To Join Idol Mears As Four-Time Winner At IMS
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Share |
Mears, Johnson Turn Laps Around IMS Video | Photos
Defending Brickyard 400 winner Jimmie Johnson and Indianapolis 500 legend Rick Mears visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, June 10 to trade stories about their respective triumphs at The Racing Capital of the World.
Johnson can join racing legends Mears, A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, Jeff Gordon and Michael Schumacher in the four-time IMS winner's club if he wins the Brickyard 400 on July 25.
"I think it would be great if he could win a fourth one," Mears said of Johnson. "It's a heck of an accomplishment to win four of anything, anywhere, anytime. The more, the merrier."
Four-time "500" winner Mears took to the track with Johnson, a three-time Brickyard 400 champion, riding in the passenger seat of a Chevrolet Corvette for several laps around the famed 2.5-mile oval. After driving around the track, Mears and Johnson sat down for a 30-minute question-and-answer session streamed live on www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com during which they answered questions submitted by fans via Twitter.
Johnson admitted during the chat that he idolized Mears when growing up in Southern California.
"It was fun to ride around the track and bench race a little bit," Johnson said. "To have that opportunity here today was really cool. Going around the track riding with him, although it wasn't at speed in a race car, was still a pretty special moment."
Said Mears: "We started out talking about lines around the track. Then we got to bench racing about different types of racing and our old racing."
Both legends spent significant time early in their careers off-road racing in their native California before switching from dirt to asphalt, with Mears moving to Indy cars and Johnson stock cars.
IMS tickets: Established in 1909, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has long prevailed as an icon of motorsports excellence. In 2009, the Speedway began the three-year celebration of its Centennial Era, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the facility in 2009 and the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in 2011.
Tickets for the Brickyard 400 on July 23-25 and the Red Bull Indianapolis GP on Aug. 27-29 can be purchased online at www.imstix.com at any time. Tickets for groups of 20 or more also are on sale. Contact the IMS Group Sales Department at (866) 221-8775 for more information.

Attention home theater shoppers: Think twice before buying a center channel speaker!
First things first--center channel speakers do one thing really well--they anchor dialog to the screen for listeners sitting over to the left or right sides of home theaters. So if your family or friends watch movies together, I'd definitely recommend using a center channel speaker.
But for one or two people sitting directly in front of their TV a center isn't necessary, and almost always sounds less good than the left and right speakers. Center speakers tend to sound boxy, so Denzel Washington sounds like he's in a box. Ditch the center and your A/V receiver … Read more

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Three Eagles reached career-highs in points as the FGCU women's basketball team picked up a huge, 76-70, non-conference win over LSU Friday night at Alico Arena.
"This is a great win for our program," said head coach Karl Smesko. "We haven't had the greatest start to this season, but we have five wins against teams in the RPI top 125 and I don't think any team in our conference, men or women, have more than one. So some of our demise has been a little bit exaggerated."
With the win, FGCU improves to 7-5 overall and snapped the Tigers' four-game winning streak, while LSU falls to 8-4 on the season. The win also gives the Green and Blue their second win (seventh all-time) over a BCS opponent this season.
The Eagles, who are 16th in the nation in three-point field goals per game (7.8) this season, knocked down seven shots from behind the arc, led by four treys from senior Joyce Iamstrong (Chicago, Ill./Thornton Fractional South HS/Jefferson College).
Redshirt junior Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) finished with a career-high and game-high 30 points, her 11th double figure scoring performance of the season, on 7-of-12 shooting from the field, 2-of-4 from long distance and a perfect 14-of-14 from the charity stripe. Hansen registered the second 30-point performance in FGCU's Division I history and the first since Feb. 12, 2009 (Adrianne McNally). The McKean, Pa. native also tallied nine rebounds, three assists and three steals. Iamstrong tied her career-high with 20 points and added five steals, four rebounds and three assists. Senior Brittany Kennedy (Spokane, Wash./Lewis and Clark HS/Oregon State) finished with nine rebounds, six assists and two steals to go with her career-high 19 points.
After the Tigers took a one-point lead (36-35) into the locker room at the half, FGCU opened the second period with a 10-5 run, highlighted by five points from Hansen, to take a 45-41 lead with 16:19 left in regulation.
Following a Kennedy layup that gave the Green and Blue a 47-46 advantage (13:48), the two teams would battle back-and-forth tying the game five times, with the last tie coming at the 8:41 mark (54-54).
LSU's Theresa Plaisance (19 pts, 6 rebs) fouled out of the game with 8:27 left after picking up her fourth personal foul and being hit with a technical. FGCU capitalized on the departure of LSU's post presence with a 5-2 spurt, capped by a bucket from Kennedy, to go ahead 59-56 (7:38). The Lady Tigers retaliated with a 6-0 run to take a 62-59 advantage with 5:12 left in the contest.
FGCU would not fold and went on to outscore LSU 11-2 over the next 3:51 to take a commanding 70-64 lead with just over one minute remaining (1:21).
The Lady Tigers ratcheted up their defensive pressure and cut the Eagle lead down to two points (72-70) with 26 seconds on the clock, but Hansen and Iamstrong combined to go 4-of-4 from the charity stripe in the final 20 seconds as the Green and Blue went on to upset LSU, 76-70.
LSU shot 46.2 percent (24-for-52) from the floor and were held to just 3-of-12 shooting from behind the arc on the evening.
FGCU shot 40.4 percent (23-for-57) from the floor and hit seven of their 30 attempts from behind the three-point line. The Eagles also registered 15 steals, forced 16 turnovers and tallied 18 assists on 23 made baskets.
The Eagles will now head to the 'Peach State' to open A-Sun conference play. FGCU will face Kennesaw State on Dec. 31 (2:30 p.m.), before heading to Macon, Ga. to take on the Mercer Bears on Jan. 2 (5 p.m.).

What is 'extreme' citizen science?
Citizen Science is hardly a new concept, but during
the last decade it has seen a rise in both academic and popular interest for
the topic. This trend is in part driven by an increased
interest for open paradigms, as well as, Information Communication
Technology (ICT) innovations such as smartphones, mobile Internet and cloud
computing. This has given rise to the emergence of a growing and highly diverse
crop of new – and often innovative – initiatives that are being, or could be,
labelled as Citizen Science1.
Whilst there are often big differences between projects, for instance when it comes to power relations – "Who is working for who?" – or the determination of goals and outcomes – "Who is solving whose problems?" – there is hope that, at the very least, this rediscovery of citizen science might lead to a renewed mutual interest, and perhaps understanding, between scientists and the general public.
Most citizen science initiatives are set in affluent
areas of the world, and by and large they target an educated, or at least
literate, public. Extreme Citizen
Science aspires to extend the reach and potential of citizen science
beyond this restricted context.
We collectively define 'Extreme Citizen Science' as:
Extreme Citizen Science is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world.
1Related terms include: Community Science, Citizen Cyber Science, Community Sensing, Participatory Mapping, Participatory (Mobile) Sensing and so on.

by happy buyer, stole last of the 2008s on 04/29/2009.
Trim: 2008 Kia Sorento LX 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
omg the price. Best bang for the buck for a 15/20 mpg mid size SUV. Nothing comes close.
NO 3rd row. Old style looking dash with no big fancy LCD screens or stuff. Kinda looks like my old 1992 ford taurus.
Overall review:
5yr bumper to bumper and 10yr powertrain warranty. Mine was one of last 2008 on lot. Sticker was 25k. I bought it for final selling price of 15k. I added leather seats ($1200) and extra warranty to make it 10yr bumper to bumper ($1000, I plan to keep this car to the end). Total out the door price was $18970. Not bad for a 10yr bumper mid SUV 4x4 with leather! Basically no other car comes with that package. Similiar equipped Hyundai Sante Fe I got priced at 20k out the door (but that has a 3rd row).
Anywho, I am at least happy about the price I got this car for. It drives like an SUV, nothing spectacular and nothing bad. All is smooth...so far. But hopefully the warranty is a no hassle deal if it breaks.
Note: dealer showed me even with a 15k sale price, KIA still profits 4k from the sale! WOW. Imagine paying sticker for the car...14k profit!

Great Brand
by DM of Detroit on 04/02/2009.
Trim: 2008 Kia Sorento EX 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
I get more car for my dollar with great performance, the manufacturer really stands behind it and they check that dealers meet high standards. I have purchased 3 new and 1 used Kia and haven't had any issues with any of them. (2003 Sportage, 2004-05 & 09 Sorentos)
The paint has a tendency to scratch easily but as this is only cosmetic, I just get the vehicle clear-coated at purchese.
Overall review:
I like this brand well enough to recommend it to anyone purchasing a car or SUV. I find that they stand up to all conditions well ( I am in Michigan) they are attractive vehicles, good performance, low maintenance, comfortable and value for the price.

Great vaule, great price, greate SUV!
by An MSN Autos Consumer on 02/26/2009.
Trim: 2008 Kia Sorento EX 4X2, Owned less than 1 year.
I purchased my Sorento 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it. The MSRP for this vehicle was 27k, since it was the last 2008 on the lot (it had 34 miles on it) I was able to purchase it for only 19k. This includes a 100,000 mile warrantee.
Mileage could be better the 20 gallon tank has only a 400 mile range. My Accord achieves that same range with only 13 gallons. But after all it is a Honda.
Overall review:
Great vaule, great price, greate SUV!
