UNITED NATIONS, Aug 11 2014 (IPS) - The world's 52 small island developing states (SIDS), some in danger of being wiped off the face of the earth because of sea-level rise triggered by climate change, will be the focus of an international conference in the South Pacific island nation of Samoa next month.
Scheduled to take place Sep. 1-2, the conference will provide world leaders with "a first-hand opportunity to experience climate change and poverty challenges of small islands."
DARUDU, 8 August 2014 (IRIN) - Building resilience to natural disasters in Timor-Leste, where most people are subsistence farmers, means improving the transport infrastructure and tweaking local farming practices, for example by encouraging crop diversification and building terraces. Such efforts, however, also require effective and transparent political leadership, experts and officials say.

Thousands to benefit from improved access to schools, hospitals, towns and markets with climate resilient roads
The Road Climate Resilience Project for Timor-Leste is working to deliver climate resilient road infrastructure to communities between Dili-Ainaro and ensure roads are better protected against natural disasters. Reduced road closures will allow improved access to local and regional markets and towns. Additional Financing for the project will upgrade additional road segments linked to the Dili-Ainaro corridor.
DILI, 18 July 2014 (IRIN) - Timor-Leste's current stability could be undermined by a sharp decline in oil revenues and leadership challenges if the country's first president and current prime minister Xanana Gusmão steps down later this year as announced.
After independence in 2002, the country experienced riots and conflict in 2006 due to dissent within the army, which displaced 150,000 people and resulted in international military intervention, but since then there has been a period of relative stability.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel have improved the lives of thousands of people in Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines as part of the largest annual multilateral humanitarian and civic assistance mission conducted in the Asia-Pacific region.

DILI, 30 June 2014 (IRIN) - Repeated bouts of violence in Timor Leste's recent past and a persistent sense of injustice have had a lasting mental health impact, new research shows. Researchers say recovery may require more than therapeutic interventions.
Results from a 2004-2010 mental health study showed that the conflict leading to Timor-Leste's 2002 independence had lasting mental health effects, and communal violence in 2006 which left 100,000 displaced exacerbated the situation.

Nanjing, China
It is my first time try to make down coat, style from picture (again hehe) and also combine with some idea of the styles I saw in the street.
The orginal idea was to put the check fabric on the right side of the collar, but while I put in on I found it seems better to let the shell fabric on the top…
It wasn't as difficult as I thought, and came out not bad for the first time. Will try to make more later, not put enough down this time,only about 80g, should put at least 120-150g, also the zip zap on the waist should be lower, and … too much need to improve…

Brattleboro Recreation And Parks Department207 Main St, Brattleboro, VT 05301
Email this business
(802) 254-5808 Additional Contacts
The function of the Recreation & Parks Department is to provide both active and passive recreational opportunities through program planning and park facilities. The Recreation & Parks programs and facilities are the heart of our community. Our facilities and programs refresh and rejuvenate our citizens, energize our economy, improve our environmental health and connect us as families and as a community. The benefits of Recreation & Parks programs and facilities are endless. In the early 1920's the Recreation & Parks Department was established. In the beginning the Department shared the community building with the National Guard. The building was built in 1922 and is now known as the Gibson-Aiken Center. In the early 1970's the Town purchased the building from the Guard and renovated it into a Recreation Center including a Senior Center. In the early 1950's, through a community-wide fund drive the Town purchased the Clarke Family Farm, now known as Living Memorial Park. The community along with many service organizations developed the Park into what we have today.

CHICAGO — Near the podiums on NHL media day Tuesday hung a picture, a larger-than-life Zdeno Chara, his mouth open in a scream of ecstasy, the Stanley Cup held over his head. A few yards away was the real Chara, serious, businesslike, as he answered questions from a horde of reporters that wanted to know how he has remained so good after playing so many minutes game after game after game.
The Bruins captain's ice time peaked in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, a double-overtime win over the Penguins that required 42 minutes 5 seconds of his sweat. That was nearly five minutes longer than he played in any game during the Bruins' previous Cup run, when Chara was two years younger and the Bruins hadn't hoisted the Cup in 39 years.

Worth Bateman's New Book of Poetry, X, Puts Poetry First
A new voice on the poetry scene, in "X: and Other Poems from A to Z" (published by Trafford Publishing), Worth Bateman explores life's hard truths, pleasures, and mysteries in a style that is thoughtful, ironic, good-natured and wise - qualities on display throughout this wonderful new collection.
After many years working in Washington on problems as diverse as the all-volunteer force and welfare reform, 10 years ago Bateman left behind his career in government policy and his Harvard training in economics to write poetry, trading what he calls the math of markets and the economy for "the math of life."
With intelligence and wit, he lets readers see familiar territory in a new light, often using the language of science or math to make a point or capture a moment, as in these lines from the title poem "X":
"I remember it was fun-
once we got the hang of it-
...perhaps a little taste of power
playing in this algebraic world,
solving for the unknown quantity;
not unlike the feeling I had a few years
later close dancing at the Junior Prom:
after a little bit of trial and error,
learning how to do it right,
then having the fun of solving for x."
For poetry, Worth Bateman is a late bloomer blooming, in this most original new work.
About the Author
Worth Bateman was born and grew up in Maryland, attended public schools and graduated from Western Maryland (now McDaniel) College. He won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and went to Harvard University where he earned a Ph.D. in economics. He served in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations, and directed the research program at the Urban Institute. For many years he also renovated and restored old houses, one on the National Register of Historic Places. Late in his professional career, he established a vineyard at his family's farm outside Baltimore, which he continued to operate after his retirement. It was during this time that he took up writing plays and poetry. Today, the vineyard is gone but the writing continues. He and his wife Grace live in Washington and also divide their time between the family farm near Westminster, Md. and the Delaware shore. They have six children and four grandchildren.

John Salley Says Michael Jordan Isn't One Of The Top Five Greatest Players Of All Time
John Salley, whom you may know from his days as host of The Best Damn Sports Show Period or perhaps his days averaging seven points and four rebounds per game en route to four NBA championships, is "a Michael Jordan fan." But while speaking to ESPN's Colin Cowherd, Salley said he doesn't put MJ in his top five players of all time.
He says Magic Johnson is the greatest ever. No mention of today's players or Chamberlain/Russell/anyone that played before his own era.
Watch the video:
Next, was Larry Bird. Then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbaar. The hardest guy I had to guard? Hakeem Olajuwon…and then Kevin McHale… And the greatest player I've ever played with… (mumbo jumbo about playing with MJ, Pippen and Kobe)… Isiah Thomas is the best player I've ever played with.
John Salley probably knows more about basketball than I ever will. But tell me your head didn't just explode.
His argument had something to do with some shot that went off the backboard (and went in and won a game, I think?) in 1981 that people "ridiculed" Jordan for, or something. And his big hands and updated hand-check rules. And something about technical fouls. Seriously, ISIAH THOMAS?
"(Jordan)'s a good player… he's a great player. But he wasn't the best. I watched Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman push him left and him shoot 32 times. So I was in a situation where we weren't worried about it. We just knew that if he pushed him left, and he picked the ball up, he couldn't pass it. *evil smile*
Again, here's the moment that started it all.
I just don't think he's the greatest player ever. I think the greatest player I've ever played against was Magic Johnson.
Here's his face, frozen, after that comment.
It almost appears that he's serious, but you can decide for yourself. If Skip Bayless ever dies — if trolls can die, that is — ESPN has found its replacement host for First Take.

There is a place in Cagayan de Oro called Divisoria. It is different from that crowded commercial district in Metro Manila, known for its insanely cheap albeit bootlegged items. Well, there are also similarities because the Divisoria that I grew up with was the go to place for all our needs - weekly groceries, hardware goods and food.
This blog post then is all about the latter. Over the years, I have been wondering what became of my favorite haunts in what most of us Kagay-anons consider to be the heart of CdeO. So when I got the chance to visit my hometown last December, I managed to squeeze in between some errands the food adventures below.Sinuglaw - JC or JZ Eatery
Sinuglaw perhaps is Cagayan de Oro's beloved surf and turf. This dish is made from the surprising combination of kinilaw (fish ceviche) and sinugba (grilled pork). Our version of kinilaw by the way is distinct with the use of mildly sweet tuba (coconut vinegar) and the tabon-tabon, a rootcrop that gives the fresh fish a slightly tarty flavor.

More than seven months after a vacancy occurred in the Decatur Police Department's detective division, it was formally filled on Friday as veteran patrolman and sergeant Leonard Corral Jr. was given the oath by Mayor John Schultz.

The City of Decatur is moving rapidly to get rid of one eyesore building and is hopeful of being able to remove a second, and more dangerous one.
City council on Tuesday night approved on two readings the terms of a contract to purchase for $30,000 the former sweeper shop (and onetime Holthouse Drug Co.) builging at Second and Monroe streets.
From staff, AP reports
At the rate we're going, 100-degree temperatures could be here soon.
Decatur recorded its fifth consecutive high temperature in the 90s on Wednesday, and it also marked the third day in a row that the high has been higher than the previous day. Wednesday's top mark was 97, a two-degree tick upward from Tuesday's 95.

Although the last Puddle of Mudd album came out in 2004, a lot has changed in music that affects how successful this band can be. Maroon 5 took a similar break between their two albums and the response has been amazing. Matchbox Twenty has had similar success, it would have been even better if they just released a new album and not a best of with six new songs. Puddle of Mudd attempt a similar trick with their new record "Famous." But there are a ton of things working against Puddle of Mudd. "Life on Display" was the band's last album before this and it was terrible. There wasn't a good song on that disc and there wasn't any single success from it either. So when you've been all but out of your audiences' minds since 2001 and you have to gain another audience with a new generation of kids… you're screwed in a lot of ways. I do think that the band, the label, and Scantlin knew that the songs that the band had done in the past weren't going to cut it at this point in time. So they went out and got some help, A LOT OF HELP. Some of the names attached to this disc; Howard Benson produced the latest single "Psycho." Brian Howes co-wrote and produced "Famous" and "It Was Faith." And Max Collins and Tony Fagenson of Eve 6 wrote and produced "We Don't Have to Look Back Now." That's just naming a few of the contributions with songwriting on this album. In terms of songs all of the songwriting helped out this effort a ton, but it's still not on par with "Come Clean." It is better than "Life on Display" though, and that's the best news any Puddle of Mudd fan can get. With the music… it's really hard to judge because there's so much help here. With all of the different co-writers and just plain song writers it makes this a little sporadic and less fluent than it should be. I can say this; where there's just a single songwriting credit from Scantlin the music is just as good as everything else; it's not that he lost his touch, he probably just needed some help. The other complement that I can give Puddle of Mudd with this record is Scantlin's vocals are better than they've ever been and this is the best produced Puddle of Mudd album, it sounds great. While it's hard not to criticize this album because the band had a lot of help, it has to be done. Judging the music alone: this passes, in that sense this is a good listen. But you can't help but wonder what kind of album this would have been if it were just a Puddle of Mudd record. Worth checking out, how serious you take it is completely up to you.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.
Michelle Manafy
Mar 16, 2007
Turns out a bedrock parental cliché—"you can do anything if you put your mind to it"—is true. Research reveals that, if you teach students that their intelligence can grow and increase, they do better.
Research psychologist Carol Dwek from Stanford University and her colleague Lisa Blackwell from Columbia University worked with hundreds of seventh graders, assessing which believed their intelligence was fixed and which thought that it could increase. The first group floundered over the next two years, while the latter thrived. The researchers then speculated that they could help by teaching the children who had the fixed mindset that they could actually grow their intelligence.
The struggling kids were divided into two groups: One was given a course in good study habits. The other was given an elementary neuroscience lesson about how the brain forms new connections every time you learn something new, which, over time makes you smarter. The second group showed remarkable improvement while those who'd learned new study skills did not..
Dwek extended what she's seen in her childhood-development research to apply to the population at large. Her recent book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, divides people into those who believe they are who they are, and go through life avoiding challenge and failure; and those with a growth mindset, who view themselves as fluid and life as being filled with opportunity..
In business, a "fixed" mindset causes the sort of leadership that relies on intimidation (that supposedly proves how "smart" the leader is). A "growth" mindset views challenges and setbacks as an opportunity to learn and to improve through experience. Dwek offers an entire section on business, including a look at organizations that grow and the leadership tactics they employ.
Examples of fixed and fluid organizations abound. There are those that rely on size and dominance to maintain the status quo and those which, even if they are large, stay nimble and evolve with the marketplace, in part by tapping the collective web whims and wisdom.
Google may be the poster-child for tapping the group-mind of its organization—it was number one on this year's Fortune list of best companies to work for and also made the Fortune 500. The company is notorious not only for its elaborate perks, but also for its "20% time" policy, through which all Google engineers are encouraged to spend about a day a week on independent projects. Interestingly, this "independent study" doesn't lead to defection, as several successful Google services like Gmail, Google News, and AdSense grew out of these efforts.
True to Dwek's premise, this culture of innovation and experimentation doesn't yield complete success. Some Google products remain in perpetual beta, while others are beset by detractors and litigators. Google Book Search gets written up a lot for copyright exposure but its older cousin Google News took a hit in February when Google lost a copyright lawsuit to Belgian newspapers that demanded that it remove headlines and links to stories for which it had not obtained permission. If confirmed, this case could set precedent, at least in the EU, for how search engines link to copyrighted material in the capricious area of web news..
I got the heads up on this decision via EContent contributing editor Ron Miller's blog, "by Ron Miller" (http://byronmiller.typepad.com). Miller was baffled by the existence of the suit at all, calling it "totally bone-headed." He argued that the Belgian newspaper "doesn't get this internet thing. It doesn't understand that when Google links to its site, the chances increase dramatically that people visit the site…and increasing traffic increases ad prices."
As luck would have it, I have another contributor, Heidi Gautschi, poised at the Belgian border to comment on just such events, so I shot her Miller's post. Gautschi (an American who has spent much of her life living in France) had quite a different take. "I think that, unlike in the Unites States, EU news- papers don't see the internet as a business opportunity …Europeans and Americans don't have the same vision of business or journalism," she says. "I thought it was a little odd, but in keeping with European copyright issues. I see how some things are interpreted through a cultural filter."
Miller also sees a cultural aspect. He wonders "if this is an overreaction to perceived American corporate arrogance, even more than a statement about how European publications should do business online."
Gautschi suggests that Google might need to invest some of its corporate culture in understanding others. "Google doesn't seem to mean any harm; they just don't seem to understand that things work differently in different places."
Ultimately, Dwek asserts that rigid thinking benefits no one. And both sides of this debate may need to do some mental stretching on this one. The good news: Research shows that anyone can change their mind.

Alarming picture as rebels prepare to leave city in CongoDecember 1, 2012 12:00 AM
Share with others:
NAIROBI, Kenya -- Lootings. Assassinations. A spreading sense of lawlessness.
That was the alarming picture that emerged Friday from Goma, a rebel-held city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, despite vows by the rebels to withdraw peacefully.
Human rights groups said the M23 rebels who captured Goma last week were going on an assassination campaign as they prepared to leave, creating a vortex of crime and confusion.
"I think it will be extremely chaotic over the next few days," said Ida Sawyer, a researcher for Human Rights Watch.
On Friday morning, residents in Goma reported that the rebels were piling cases of ammunition and other looted supplies onto trucks, with some of it heading toward neighboring Rwanda, while a new letter to a U.N. Security Council committee said that the Rwandan army had crossed the border into Congo and had helped the fighters capture Goma in the first place.
Rwandan troops "openly entered into Goma through one of the two official border crossings," said the letter, which was written by Steve Hege, the coordinator of a U.N. investigative panel, and leaked by a third party.
The investigative panel has accused Rwanda -- with help from Uganda -- of creating, equipping and commanding the rebels, and in his letter Hege contended that once the rebels and Rwandan soldiers chased the Congolese army out of Goma, "these troops together took control over the entire city, marching through downtown dressed in a combination of RDF and new M23 uniforms," using RDF to signify the Rwandan Defense Force.
Rwanda has strenuously denied any covert involvement in this recent round of conflict in eastern Congo, which is threatening to destabilize the country.
But Rwanda has sent thousands of soldiers marching across the border to overthrow the Congolese government at least twice in the past, later justifying such actions by blaming Congo for insecurity across the entire region.
Some of Rwanda's staunchest allies, including the United States, have recently cut aid to Rwanda amid the allegations of Rwandan meddling in Congo. On Friday, the BBC reported that the British government had suspended more than $33 million in aid, which Rwanda desperately needs to keep its government running.
Congo and Rwanda seem to be heading into yet another turbulent, acrimonious phase, with tensions growing by the day. It began this spring when more than 1,000 former rebels who had been integrated into the Congolese army mutinied. The rebels named themselves the M23 after March 23, 2009, the date of a failed peace deal between the two sides.
Most of the rebel commanders were Tutsi, the same minority ethnic group that dominates politics and the economy in Rwanda, and many of them had fought in the Rwandan army.
The rebels indicated this week that they would abide by a regional agreement, signed in Kampala, Uganda, last weekend, to leave Goma.
"And we are continuing with that plan," Bertrand Bisimwa, an M23 spokesman, said Friday afternoon.
He said the rebels had begun withdrawing from Goma and planned to station all troops about 12 miles outside of town, as the agreement in Kampala demanded.
But another rebel spokesman contradicted him, saying rebels would not be able to leave Goma for "logistical reasons" until Sunday, and it seemed the rebels were haggling with U.N. peacekeepers over an arsenal of looted ammunition that the rebels wanted to bring with them.
Aid workers in Goma said Friday that they could not see any sign of a rebel pullout.
"I'm not seeing big movements of soldiers," said Richard Nunn, a community services coordinator for Oxfam. "I still see some rebel soldiers in town. It's very difficult to say what's going on right now."
Other residents reported an increase in carjackings and break-ins, saying that Goma was becoming virtually lawless at night.world

Released in 2012 as part of New Belgium Brewing's Lips of Faith series, this ale was crafted in honor of alternative hip hop and blues musician G. Love, a huge fan of the brewery who has been home brewing since high school. The hand-drawn label mimics the cover of The Hustle, the album containing his "Front Porch Lounger" tune this beer is named for. This saison contains peach juice, molasses, grits, biscuit malt, lemon peel and Brettanomyces yeast. The peach juice adds a sweet complement to balance the spicy Belgian funk from the yeast; and the bevy of other ingredients results in a complex, citrusy and tropical fruitiness. At a sturdy 9.4 percent alcohol strength, this beer is meant for sipping. Since G. Love wrote "Front Porch Lounger" on a porch, we recommend a porch as your perch for this peach.
Price: $8.49 for 22 oz
9.4 percent ABV

Why studying duck genitalia is not a waste of tax dollars
AMHERST, Mass. -- In the past few days, the Internet has been filled with commentary on whether the National Science Foundation should have paid for my study on duck genitalia, and 88.7 per cent of respondents to a Fox news online poll agreed studying duck genitalia is wasteful government spending. The commentary supporting and decrying the study continues to grow. As the lead investigator in this research, I would like to weigh in on the controversy and offer some insights into NSF's process of research funding.
Basic science projects are periodically singled out by people with political agendas to highlight how government "wastes" taxpayer money on seemingly foolish research. These arguments misrepresent the distinction between and the roles of basic and applied science. Basic science is not aimed at solving an immediate practical problem. Basic science is an integral part of scientific progress, but individual projects may sound meaningless when taken out of context. Basic science often ends up solving problems anyway, but it is just not designed for this purpose. Applied science builds upon basic science, so they are inextricably linked. As an example, Geckskin is a new adhesive product with myriad applications developed by my colleagues at the University of Massachusetts. Their work is based on several decades of basic research on gecko locomotion.
Whether the government should fund basic research in times of economic crisis is a valid question that deserves well-informed discourse comparing all governmental expenses. As a scientist, my view is that supporting basic and applied research is essential to keep the United States ahead in the global economy. The government cannot afford not to make that investment. In fact, I argue research spending should increase dramatically for the United States to continue to lead the world in scientific discovery. Investment in the NSF is just over $20 per year per person, while it takes upward of $2,000 per year per person to fund the military. Basic research has to be funded by the government rather than private investors because there are no immediate profits to be derived from it.
Because the NSF budget is so small, and because we have so many well-qualified scientists in need of funds, competition to obtain grants is fierce.Congress decides the total amount of money the NSF gets from the budget, but it does not decide which individual projects are funded -- and neither does the president or his administration. Funding decisions are made by panels of scientists who are experts in the field and based on peer review by outsiders, often the competitors of the scientists who submitted the proposal. The review panel ranks proposals on their intellectual merits and effects to society before making a recommendation. This recommendation is then acted upon by program officers and other administrators, who are also scientists, at the NSF.
This brings us back to the ducks. Male ducks force copulations on females, and males and females are engaged in a genital arms race with surprising consequences. Male ducks have elaborate corkscrew-shaped penises, the length of which correlates with the degree of forced copulation males impose on female ducks. Females are often unable to escape male coercion, but they have evolved vaginal morphology that makes it difficult for males to inseminate females. Males have counterclockwise spiraling penises, while females have clockwise spiraling vaginas.
Our latest study examined how the presence of other males influences genital morphology. My colleagues and I found that it does so to an amazing degree, demonstrating that male competition is a driving force behind these male traits that can be harmful to females. The fact this grant was funded, after the careful scrutiny of many scientists and NSF administrators, reflects the fact this research is grounded in solid theory and the project was viewed as having the potential to move science forward as well as fascinate and engage the public. The research has been reported on positively by hundreds of news sites in recent years, even Fox news.
The commentary and headlines in some of the recent articles reflect outrage that the study was about duck genitals, as if there is something inherently wrong or perverse with this line of research. Imagine if medical research drew the line at the belt! Genitalia, dear readers, are where the rubber meets the road, evolutionarily. To fully understand why some individuals are more successful than others during reproduction, there may be no better place to look.
Generating new knowledge of what factors affect genital morphology in ducks, one of the few vertebrate species other than humans that form pair bonds and exhibit violent sexual coercion, may have significant applied uses in the future, but we must conduct the basic research first. In the meantime, while we engage in productive and respectful discussion of how we envision the future of our nation, why not marvel at how evolution has resulted in such counterintuitive morphology and bizarre animal behaviour.
Patricia Brennan has a Ph.D. in behavioural ecology from Cornell University. She is currently a research professor in the department of biology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where she continues her research on the evolutionary consequences of sexual conflict.

Abbots Langley am-dram group chosen for Royal Shakespeare Company production
9:50am Wednesday 16th April 2014 in News By Michael Knowles, Reporter
An amateur dramatics society based in Abbots Langley is set to feature in a Royal Shakespeare Company project.
The Abbots Langley Players have been chosen by the Royal Shakespeare Company to feature in its Open Stages project.
The project will see amateur theatre groups work with the RSC to create their own production and then present it at the amateur group's own venue. The Royal Shakespeare Company will provide training and mentoring throughout the project.
Abbots Langley Players will be performing Peter Whelan's "The Herbal Bed" and will be staged in April 2015, under the banner of a "Royal Shakespeare Company Open Stages Production".
Sarah Cunnane, committee member for the group, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled - when we put in the bid, we never dreamed that it might be accepted. To have our small village group recognised at a national level is a real source of pride for me and for the group as a whole and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the year ahead will bring."
While applying to the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Abbots Langley Players said that their project will involve as many local residents as possible and would reflect "the depth and diversity of cultural activity in the village."
A working Jacobean herb garden, which will feature in the set in the production, will be donated to Abbots Langley after the show.
Colette Holmes, director of the project, said: "We are thrilled to be one of fewer than 100 groups taking part in this prestigious RSC project. We are now keen to hear from village groups or individuals that might like to be involved in the production - the more the merrier."

AMD finally launches the Kaveri APU, its most important chip launch in years January 6, 2014 at 8:15 pm
AMD's first HSA core and the fulfillment of nearly a decade of work is ready for prime time and (almost) ready for review. But can Kaveri compete with Intel's best hardware? We'll find out soon.
Mobile computing in 2014: Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Samsung go head-to-head January 2, 2014 at 12:36 pm
2014 will see a number of major innovations from the key mobile players as they grapple for market share in the rapidly maturing smartphone industry. Nvidia, Samsung, and Qualcomm are pushing different advantages in the industry — we walk through the details.
Qualcomm unveils first 64-bit SoC: An efficient powerhouse in a cheap, mid-range package December 10, 2013 at 1:53 pm
Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 410 is a solid midrange chip aimed at budget phones and emerging markets — but this core could be the sleeper hit of 2014.
Reverse engineered PS4 APU reveals the console's real CPU and GPU specs November 20, 2013 at 4:33 pm
A new teardown into the PS4′s SoC reveals interesting facets of its design and Sony's need to balance performance against die size.
AMD reveals Kaveri details, release date: Can the first heterogeneous APU save AMD? November 12, 2013 at 6:28 pm
AMD has announced that Kaveri, its first truly heterogeneous chip — a CPU and GPU on the same die that can communicate directly and share the same RAM — will be available on January 14,2014. The flagship part, dubbed the A10-7850K, will be clocked at 3.7GHz, feature four cores (two Steamroller modules) built on GlobalFoundries' 28nm process, and will require the new FM2+ motherboard socket. There's no word on cost, but AMD will probably price it just below a comparable Intel part.
Radeon R9-290X: Hardware specs and benchmarks of AMD's Titan killer September 25, 2013 at 5:05 pm
Ahead of AMD's official unveil of the Hawaii line of GPUs, details, photos, and benchmarks of (probably) the Radeon R9-290X have leaked. The photos and benchmarks seem to confirm that the Hawaii XT (GCN 2.0) R9-290X has 2816 stream processors, split among 44 clusters. The leaked benchmarks peg the Radeon R9-290X as equal or slightly faster than Nvidia's GTX Titan, and around 10% faster than the GTX 780 — strong, and if it's priced right, it could put AMD back in the driving seat.
iPhone 5S reverse-engineered, confirms A7 SoC produced by Samsung, reveals M7 September 20, 2013 at 4:13 pm
We've found the M7! Chipworks analysts locate the diminutive chip power Apple's gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer and discover a tiny Cortex-M3.
GlobalFoundries may be stealing 28nm business from rival TSMC August 21, 2013 at 8:28 am

Could Bronson Arroyo be heading to the Yankees? He is according to this report. Not sure Arroyo would fare well against the big boys of the American League East, but he does seem to be a better alternative to Sergio Mitre. Let's just hope that if this does happen that the Yankees don't give up on prospects that could help the team down the road.
This Fan doesn't think losing prospects and spending a lot of money for a fifth starter makes a heck of a lot of sense. Mitre would pitch nearly as effectively and if you can win half your games with you fifth starter, that's all you can ask for. Arroyo is signed for another couple of years and what would the Yankees do with him next year when Phil Hughes is pegged as the fifth starter next year and Wang will be back?

Arroyo Going to the Yankees?
Posted by William J. Tasker at 7:19 AM

I think Garland is a better option. He's as much of an innings eater as Arroyo, and at this stage in their careers I'd give the slight edge to Garland. Believe it or not, he actually has 15 quality starts this year. That's more than anyone currently has on the Yankees. Burnett has 14. Sabathia has 11. Chamberlain has 10. Pettitte has 9.

How to block specific countries from certain pages of my website?
I want to know how to block specific countries from certain pages of my website. I want to block 4 countries or so from just my main page and another page. Can this be done cleanly? If so how?

- 9:57 am Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011 by Post Staff
Longtime Miami Dolphins star Jason Taylor will join Jack Nicklaus, Tim Tebow and Kenny G in the featured foursome of the Kenny G Gold Pro Am next Wednesday at the 2011 Honda Classic.
The group will tee off at 12:40 p.m. on the first tee of the Champion course at PGA National Resort & Spa.

A glittery headline group in the Kenny G Gold Pro-Am went off at midday Wednesday on the Champion course at PGA National Resort & Spa in advance of the Honda Classic.
See the Post's photos from the Pro-Am here.
It included the famed saxaphonist in the company of Jack Nicklaus, former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino and Super Bowl winning quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints.
"I'm the high handicap in the group," Nicklaus quipped.
Well, it was a talented foursome.

HERTFORDSHIRE, England — The site of Sunday's game between the 49ers and Broncos has a retractable roof. But Wembley Stadium's top is only partially retractable, meaning the field isn't protected from the elements, but the fans are.
This somewhat unusual feature isn't a problem for the Niners, who, apparently, wouldn't mind if Wembley also had a sprinkler system without an off switch.
The 49ers have done little to disguise their weather preference for Sunday's game — the wetter the better. Playing with a quarterback making his first start in three years against the Broncos, owners of one of the NFL's most prolific passing offenses, San Francisco is hoping for more of the periodic rains that have marked the first four days of their European adventure.
49ers Practice In England
"Yeah, pretty much," defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said. "We're a mudder football team."
In contract, the Broncos are a pass-happy bunch. Denver quarterback Kyle Orton is on pace to throw for 4,891 yards this season — that would rank third in NFL history — and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, a former 49er, ranks second in the league in receiving yards and has 14 catches of more than 20 yards, an NFL best.
In contrast, Denver (2-5) ranks last in the NFL in rushing yards per game (68.4), average yards per rush (2.9) and is the only team in the league without a run of more than 20 yards. Making matters worse, their leading rusher, Knowshon Moreno, tweaked a nagging hamstring injury Wednesday in practice although coach Josh McDaniels expects Moreno to play Sunday.
"It doesn't hurt," Niners defensive end Justin Smith said of possible game-day rains. "And if we can get them in a running game, that's even better."
Of course, not much has gone right for San Francisco (1-6) this season. And there's no guarantee the weather will cooperate. Sunday's forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of rain with a game-time temperature of 50 degrees.
Still, left tackle Joe Staley is hoping for the best — like something approximating the steady downpour during the Giants' 13-10 win over the Dolphins at Wembley in 2007.
"I think the weather out there is going to be old-fashioned football weather," Staley said. "Not really a finesse game, I don't foresee that kind of game at all. It's going to be a real physical game."
