New warning that 'one in two smokers' will die early unless they quit
12:10am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Barry Nelson, Health & Education Editor
SMOKERS in the North-East are massively underestimating the risks of dying prematurely, according to a new TV campaign which reveals one in two long-term smokers will die early.
This is the message of the new "Don't be the One" advertising campaign from the council-funded campaign group, Fresh, which is urging the North-East's 460,000 smokers to quit and live longer for their loved ones.
Meanwhile, the number of adults smoking in England has fallen below 20 per cent for the first time in probably 80 years, according to experts from University College London.
''Smoking was rare at the start of the 20th century but increased relentlessly until the publication of Smoking And Health in 1962, by which time over 70% of men and 40% of women smoked," said the researchers.
''The decline in prevalence started in the 1970s and has since averaged 0.6% a year. In 2013 it was slightly higher, at 0.8%.''
The survey of North-East smokers by Fresh found
• nine out of 10 smokers seriously underestimate the risks, with some believing only 1 in 20 smokers will die as a result.
• More than six out of ten say their family worries about them smoking.
• Eight out of ten wish they had never started
• 68 per cent wish smoking could become a thing of the past for future generations.
The TV ad shows the impact of smoking on families will encourage smokers to click on DontBeThe1.tv for support to quit and to order a free Quit Kit online.
Anyone concerned about a friend or relative smoking can also send an e-card telling them they care and urging them to stop.
Ailsa Rutter, director of Fresh, said: "It is a shocking message but smoking tobacco is much more harmful than most people think. These are odds nobody would want.
"Quitting lowers your risk of dying early at any age, but the sooner you quit, the better.
"This is why we are encouraging everyone who smokes to make a real effort to quit this time, because they have parents, partners, children, grandchildren who love them, worry about them and want them to be there."
There are more than 4,000 smoking-related deaths every year in the North-East.
It causes more than a dozen types of cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung disease and increases the risk of diabetes, dementia and blindness.

Lorinser tunes the Mercedes S-Class to 530 HP
Lorinser has introduced their new tuning program for the Mercedes S-Class at the Essen Motor Show.
Looking rather controversial, the sedan has been equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes modified bumpers, a revised grille and numerous carbon fiber flaps. The car also has a sports exhaust system and unique alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the S500's 4.6-liter V8 engine can be tuned to produce 530 HP (390 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 75 HP (55 kW) and 100 Nm (73 lb-ft) of torque. Performance specifications were not released but the standard model can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Surface: anybody charged twice?
I pre-ordered Surface RT from the UK on the 25th and have just checked my bank account.
The Microsoft Store transaction hasn't appeared yet, and the money not taken from my balance - but my available balance is £1,118 short.
Obviously I expect the £559 I have paid for the Surface to be unavailable, but £1,118 is double that - Microsoft have clearly charged me twice.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Perhaps the greatest player to ever don the red and black is celebrating his 92nd birthday today. Charley Trippi, a member of both the Pro Football and College Football Halls of Fame, was dominant in his days as a Bulldog and changed the face of pro football, becoming one of the first players ever to receive a signing bonus and was the subject of a bidding war between the NFL and the now-defunct AAFC. Bear Bryant called him "the greatest to ever play college football."
Trippi in 1946 photo:UGA Sports Information
Trippi came to UGA from his home in Pennsylvania. He had been a standout prepster, and it attracted the attention of a Coca-Cola bottler, who offered him a scholarship to play football at Georgia. (Is it just me, or does this sound like an Auburn plotline? But I digress.) He played halfback on the undefeated freshman team in 1941, and moved to varsity for the 1942 season. All-American and future Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich was seemingly entrenched at halfback, but less than halfway through the season, Wally Butts moved Sinkwich to fullback and inserted Trippi at halfback. The move worked; the Dawgs won the SEC and the Rose Bowl and won their first consensus National Championship. Trippi rushed for 1239 yards that season, capping it off with a 130-yard performance and Rose Bowl MVP honors in the win over UCLA in Pasadena. Trippi also punted for the Dawgs that day, returned four kicks, and was the Dawgs' second-leading tackler.
He left the University after the 1942 season, and spent the next two years serving in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. Trippi obtained his discharge at the end of the war in time to come back to play the second half of the 1945 football season. In a 33-0 pounding of the Nerds at Grant Field, he set SEC records for passing yards and total yards in a single game. For Trippi's senior year, he was the best player on the 1946 team that went undefeated and won the Sugar Bowl, and Trippi won the Maxwell Award, as the best college football player in the country. Trippi was also a baseball standout, and he'd been named an All-American for the Diamond Dawgs the prior spring.
A bidding war erupted for Trippi's services in pro football. The New York Yankees of the All-American Football Conference offered him $100,000, but the Chicago Cardinals bettered that offer, adding a $25,000 signing bonus giving him a total contract equivalent to approximately $8.1 million in 2013. Between leaving UGA and going to Chicago Cardinals, he played for the Atlanta Crackers minor league baseball team, hitting .334 in 106 games.
Trippi's NFL rookie card via
He won an NFL championship as a rookie, returning punts of 44 and 75 yards for touchdowns. He totaled 201 yards that day. Trippi's professional highlights would include starting games at quarterback, halfback, fullback, kicker, punter, kick returner, punt returner, and defensive end. He is the only player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with at least 1000 yards passing, 1000 yards rushing, and 1000 yards receiving for his career. Read that last sentence again.
Charley and Peggy with Greg McGarity via dawgsports.com archive
Charley and his wife Margaret (nicknamed Peggy) still live in Athens. I've been fortunate to get to know him. He's the consummate gentleman; humble and unassuming. He talks of his love for the game and how much the University of Georgia gave him. He is still in great shape, mows his own grass, and walks in his neighborhood to stay active. Stan Mullins, the sculptor who created the Vince Dooley statue next to the Spec Towns Track and Butts-Mehre is currently working on statues to commemorate Trippi, Frank Sinkwich, and Herschel Walker. If you'd like to help, you can find Stan on Facebook and provide some financial backing, or you can contact Greg McGarity and voice your support for commemorating these Georgia greats.

K-Love hits a 17 PER
The big men are making their way to the top of Hollinger's player ratings. Marreese Speights, Kevin Love, Greg Oden, JaVale McGee, Roy Hibbert, Brook Lopez, and Mark Gasol take up 7 out of the top 10 rookie spots. O.J. Mayo and Derrick Rose have fallen out of the top-10 and guys like Kosta Koufos and J.J. Hickson are moving up. This year's draft is shaping up to populate front courts around the league with more than serviceable players for years to come. As for the guards, Russell Westbrook is still hanging strong and any talk of the ROY race being a 1 or 2 man affair should be thrown out the window at this point. It's wide open with several big men and Westbrook outperforming the 2 early front runners by a wide margin over the last month and change.

United India to take up motor detariffing with regulator
Our Bureau
Mr K. Garg (left), CMD, United India Insurance Co Ltd, and Mr Pravin Kumar Tayal, Chairman, Bank of Rajasthan, at a press conference in Mumbai on Friday. - - Paul Noronha
Mumbai , Oct 7
UNITED India Insurance will take up the issue of detarrifing of the motor portfolio along with the other tarrifed lines like fire and engineering with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), said Mr M.K. Garg, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, United India Insurance.
Currently, the roadmap laid out by IRDA for detarrifing by December 2006 excludes motor insurance, which accounts for 40 per cent of the business of general insurance industry.
Mr Garg said that the detarrifing of the fire portfolio could result in a drop in premium as well as commission from reinsurance companies.
"Motor insurance is a bleeding portfolio which is already having an impact on our balance sheets. Detarrifing the motor portfolio would help in reducing the losses to a certain extent", he said.
Speaking at the inking of a bancassurance tie-up between the Bank of Rajasthan and United India Insurance, Mr Garg said that the company was preparing to enter the detarrifed mode by improving connectivity between its branch offices.
"Data is extremely critical for functioning in the detarrifed phase. By March 2006, we hope to achieve connectivity between all our branches, so that data can be collected and we are able to arrive at claim ratios", he said.

Lexington, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Tre Coggins led the way with 20 points as Air Force knocked off Army, 79-68, for the third straight year at the All- Military Classic.

Max Yon and Darrius Parker each had 12 points for the Falcons, who used a second-half run to take command of the game.
Army took a 30-28 lead at the half. However, that changed after the break when with 11:08 remaining and trailing 49-44, Air Force went on a 26-10 run over eight minutes to break the game open.
Yon began the run with a steal for a fastbreak dunk, then proceeded to tie it at 49-49 by knocking down a three with 10:29 left. Darrius Parker ended the burst with a jumper for a 70-59 lead. Air Force cruised to the finish from there.
Williams scored 12 of his points in the second half.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
If you're using sunscreen every day, congratulations -- you're doing your skin a huge favor. But if you're like the vast majority of us who haven't quite been able to make slathering it on a regular habit, consider putting a bottle of the stuff in the medicine cabinet right next to your toothpaste. "Applying sunscreen should be as automatic as brushing your teeth," says Sandra Read, MD, an instructor of dermatology at Georgetown University and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
Here's why: More than 1 million new skin-cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States this year, 90 percent of them sun-related. Using sunscreen only when you go to the beach or work in the garden leaves you vulnerable to a huge amount of day-to-day sun exposure. "The good news is that wearing sunscreen every day and taking other sun-protective measures helps prevent both skin cancer and cosmetic changes -- dryness, wrinkles, and irregular pigmentation," notes Dr. Read. Protect your skin, starting today.
Sunlight contains two types of harmful rays -- ultra violet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays cause wrinkling and premature aging; UVB rays are responsible for sunburn. (Remember: "A" for aging, "B" for burning.) Both cause skin cancer, but damage from UVA is sneaky. "Even when these rays have severely harmed the skin, signs don't show up right away," says Dr. Read.
When UVA and UVB rays penetrate the skin, they alter the DNA that controls cell growth and division. Too much damage can cause cancer. UVA rays also weaken the elastic fibers and harm the collagen that keeps skin smooth and youthful, says Dr. Read . It's UVA that causes dark-pigmented "age" spots.
The newest generation of sunscreens guards against both types of UV rays, not just UVB, as used to be the case. Look for UVA-blocking chemicals, such as Mexoryl (in L'Oreal and La Roche-Posay sunscreens) and Helioplex (from Neutrogena). It's never too late to start. "The skin has a natural repair process," explains dermatologist David J. Leffell, MD, professor of dermatology and surgery at Yale University. "If you keep it protected, you'll repair some of the damage."
1. Am I using enough sunscreen?
Typically, people don't use the sunscreen amount they need to get the SPF protection promised on the label, according to a study in the Archives of Dermatology. One ounce -- enough to fill a shot glass -- is the minimum amount you supposedly need to cover your face and body at the beach. "But unless you're a very petite woman, you should use two ounces," says Dr. Read. Be sure to reapply at least every two hours and right after you swim or perspire heavily.
2. Should I apply sunscreen even if I'm just running errands?
Yes. Little bursts of sun can add up to big-time damage. "Think of sun exposure as cumulative," says Amanda Jacobs, MD, a dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic.
3. Do I need sunscreen on a cloudy day?
Yes. Up to 80 percent of the sun's UVA and UVB rays can pass through clouds.
4. Does an SPF 30 sunscreen protect much better than a 15?
It doesn't provide twice the screening power. "You'll get 3 to 4 percent more protection with SPF 30 compared to SPF 15," says Dr. Leffell. Above 30, higher numbers will give you even less additional benefit. However, if you skimped on how much you applied, a higher SPF may add a little extra insurance.
5. Which is better -- a spray or a cream?
Used correctly, they're about equal. "It's best to spray on one coat and then respray," says Allan C. Halpern, MD, chief of dermatology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. It's easier to cover hard-to-reach places with a spray, and sprays have a lighter feel. Creams are often greasier, so it's easier to tell if you've skipped a spot.
6. My moisturizer has SPF 15. Do I need to wear sunscreen, too?
Experts don't agree. "If you're just going back and forth to your car, your moisturizer should be sufficient," says Dr. Leffell. But Dr. Jacobs thinks using sunscreen under moisturizer is a better daily habit. "You'd have to really slather on your moisturizer to get adequate SPF protection," she says. And if you're at the beach or pool, you definitely need to use sunscreen.
7. Do some ingredients work better?
Two of the most effective ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, compounds that physically block UVA and UVB radiation from penetrating your skin. They sometimes last longer than two hours -- what you get from a typical sunscreen -- but older formulas leave a chalky residue on the skin (if you were a lifeguard growing up, you may remember covering your nose with white zinc oxide cream). Most sunscreens rely on lighter-weight chemicals that act by absorbing and dissipating harmful radiation.
Is it considered safe to use sunscreen around my eyes?
Yes, says Dr. Halpern, but if it gets into your eyes it will burn. Products for babies or kids may sting less; washing your fingers after applying sunscreen will help if you accidentally rub your eyes.
In the past 30 years, the incidence of basal cell carcinoma tripled in women under age 40; squamous cell carcinomas have quadrupled and melanoma has doubled. All are highly treatable if found early. Check your skin monthly.
What basal cell carcinoma looks like: Pink or red patch; or shiny pink, red, or white bump.
What squamous cell carcinoma looks like: A scaly pink or red patch or raised warty growth.
What melanoma looks like: Tan, brown, black, or multicolored patch, often with an irregular edge.
Doctors use the following guidelines for diagnosis:
A - ASYMMETRY Half of mole does not match other half.
B - BORDER Edges are irregular or scalloped.
C - COLOR Entire mole is not the same color.
D - DIAMETER Mole is over 1/4 inch in diameter.
E - EVOLVING Look of mole changed over time.
You've taken all the right precautions. You think you're safe. Here are some instances in which that may not be true.
Sitting in or near a sunny window. While UVB rays usually can't penetrate glass, UVA rays (the wrinkle-causing ones) can sail right through. "If your furniture and carpet are getting bleached by the sun, UVA rays are the culprit," says Dr. Halpern.
Fix: Wear SPF 30 or block the sun with opaque drapes, shades, or blinds.
Having a picnic under a shady tree. If a tree screens out 90 percent of the sky, its shade is only equivalent to wearing an SPF 10 sunscreen, according to Purdue University researchers.
Fix: Find a totally shady spot in the shadow of a wall or under a tree where no sun seeps through.
Driving, even with car windows closed. A 2007 Saint Louis University study found that drivers who spent a lot of time in their car without wearing sunscreen had higher rates of skin cancer on sun-exposed areas, such as the left side of their face and neck and their left arm and hand. While front windows are made of glass that filters out UVB and most UVA rays, typically side and rear windows (except some tinted ones) aren't.
Fix: Keep broad-spectrum sunscreen in your glove compartment and apply it before you drive.
Lounging under a beach umbrella. Beach sand reflects 25 percent of the sun that hits it. "UV rays can bounce off the sand and find you under the umbrella," says Dr. Halpern.
Fix: You still need SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Watching a softball game protected by a long-sleeve shirt. A lightweight white T-shirt gives you protection equivalent to SPF 4; a dark, tightly woven one raises the coverage to 10.
Fix: Invest in clothing that's been pretreated with sun blockers or save money (sunscreen garments can be pricey) by washing several long-sleeve shirts and long pants in an SPF laundry additive. Or just apply sunscreen to your arms before dressing. And remember to wear a hat.
May Is National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month
The American Academy of Dermatology is partnering with dermatologists across the country to offer free skin-cancer screenings. To find one near you, log on to aad.org/public/exams/screenings.
Sight Savers
Long hours in the sun sans protection may contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). "A hat with a brim will prevent up to 50 percent of UV rays from reaching the eyes," says AAO spokes man Stuart R. Dankner, MD, assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Use sunglasses rated to block at least 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays (both types penetrate some plastic lenses).
Don't Go There
Research shows that the UVA rays you get at a tanning salon are three times more powerful than rays from natural summer sunshine.
Chemical Controversy
A recent report produced by the Environmental Working Group questioned the safety of the sunscreen ingredient oxybenzone. Some dermatologists dispute the research behind it. "While laboratory studies of individual chemicals have raised some concerns, it's important that we rely on solid science and clinical testing," says Sloan-Kettering's Dr. Halpern. Translation? Nothing we know yet is solid enough to challenge the pluses of using sunscreen. The new label guidelines being prepared by the FDA should give consumers more information about the safety and effectiveness of each product.

It's 11 p.m. Do you know where my load is?
That's a shipper asking a trucker the whereabouts of the trailer or container carrying his cargo. He's not asking about a tractor and its driver; he wants to know about his load. From that point of view, it's odd that trucking companies attached the first satellite and cellular-based tracking devices to tractors years ago, when products became available.

NJIT Overseers To Award NJIT Physicist New Prize and Medal for Design, Development and Construction of New, Top Solar Observatory
The first NJIT Excellence in Research Prize and Medal will be awarded to Philip R. Goode, PhD, distinguished professor of physics by the NJIT Board of Overseers and NJIT President Robert A. Altenkirch on March 26, 2008. Goode is director of the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research which has led a five-year project to build the world's most capable solar telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), Big Bear Lake, CA. First light has been slated for May, 2008.
"The purpose of the award is to elevate the image of research on campus and in the community," said NJIT Board of Overseers Chairman Emil Herkert. "Many professors at NJIT do notable work and we thought it long overdue that the research of these unique individuals be celebrated on the campus and in the region." The NJIT Board of Overseers serves as the governing body for the NJIT Foundation and provides a key advisory link with a wide range of organizations in the business community.
(ATTENTION MEDIA: Please join us March 26, 2008, at a media conference 2 p.m., Room 37, in Kupfrian Hall, with Goode and others. An award presentation and lecture in the Jim Wise Theatre, Kupfrian Hall, will follow. For reservations and directions call Sheryl Weinstein, 973-596-3436.)
Goode http://www.njit.edu/news/experts/goode.php has been director of BBSO since NJIT assumed leadership of the facility in 1997. Big Bear was developed by California Institute of Technology beginning in 1969.
BBSO's new solar telescope will be a 1.6 meter clear aperture, off-axis telescope featuring the world's largest solar aperture. The telescope will feed the high-order adaptive optics system, which in turn will feed the next generation of technologies for measuring magnetic fields and dynamic events using visible infrared light. The new instrument also features a parallel computer system for real-time image enhancement.
Goode, of Westfield, has studied for many years the oscillating waves of the sun's atmosphere, known as helioseismology. Goode's research has also focused on magnetic fields. He is expert at combining BBSO ground-based data with satellite data to determine dynamic properties of the solar magnetic fields. His other areas of interest include working to place a lower limit on solar irradiance and to probe the solar interior. Such studies impact scientists' understanding and ability to predict space weather.
In recent years, industry, government and scientists have begun placing increasing attention upon space weather to learn more about which solar magnetic storms can have deleterious effects on satellites, the terrestrial power grid and telecommunications.
Since 1998, Goode has focused on climate studies in which the Earth's large-scale reflectance has been measured using earthshine. He and BBSO researchers have spent time modeling their earthshine data for the Earth's reflectivity using satellite cloud cover and found appreciable decadal variation of reflectance due to cloud changes. BBSO is building a global network of earthshine telescopes to measure the Earth's global reflectance and spectrum.
Herkert, of Hanover Township, has been a longtime friend of the university. The now retired former chairman and chief executive officer of Hatch Mott MacDonald Infrastructure and Environment, Herkert has long championed the advancement of the university, serving in many volunteer roles.
The NJIT Board of Overseers is a special resource for the university. An overseer is a critical link between academe and the business community, providing information on corporate and state priorities and assisting NJIT in meeting research and funding goals. The corporate perspective of the overseers helps to clarify the university's research focus and indeed, may introduce entirely new research directions for consideration.

High demand for Jamaican items in Dalston market
BY INGRID BROWN Associate editor — special assignment firstname.lastname@example.com
LONDON, England — Vendors in the Dalston market here in Hackney, East London who stock Jamaican T-shirts and souvenirs say they have been doing extremely brisk business as Jamaicans and foreigners alike rush to secure these items to wear during the Olympic track events as well as for Jamaica Independence celebrations here.
Unfortunately, the flags, arm bands, earrings and T-shirts — especially those depicting the image of sprint king Usain Bolt and which are flying off the shelves faster than the vendors can stock them — have all been made in China, as the Asian country capitalises on Jamaica's popularity at the Games and in the United Kingdom.
"I buy them from a wholesale near here and I don't question where they got them from because people have been asking me to stock these items from three months ago," said Howard Frazer, a Jamaican vendor who has been selling in the Dalston market for the past six years.
He told the Jamaica Observer that the items are also being bought by a lot of non-Jamaicans, some of whose connection to Jamaica is only through friends or previous relationships. He explained further that some of his customers are ex-girlfriends, wives and 'baby mothers' of Jamaican men who still remain connected to Jamaica even after the relationship ends.
"We find that everybody supports Jamaica, and because we have the record holder and the fastest man, the world is following us and wants to identify with us," he said, before stopping to see to the needs of a customer.
"Even Caucasians are buying up a lot of these things to wear," he added.
The hot-ticket items on his stall, he said, are the bracelets, Jamaican T-shirts with Bolt's image and the tax disc holders for cars.
The Westmoreland-born vendor who also sells a lot of Rastafarian products, said he is preparing for the rush this week as it draws closer to the track events and the Independence celebrations.
He is also making sure that he has items to suit the pockets of everyone as bracelets sell for as low as £1 each and T-shirts are around £10.
Non-Jamaicans are also capitalising on Jamaica's popularity as many of the vendors of these items in the market hail from other countries.
Nigerian-born Kate Okoh, a vendor of souvenirs in the market, said the Jamaican items are going faster this year than in any other year.
Although she stocks souvenirs and emblems from a number of other countries, Okoh said the Jamaica items are the real money earners.
"The items for other countries are going very slow, but people are buying a lot of the flags and T-shirts, both for the Olympics and Jamaica 50 anniversary," she said, adding that she is getting a lot of requests for Bolt T-shirts.
She is, however, disheartened that the products were not made in Jamaica instead of China and questioned why.
"Why can't Jamaicans do this and let China be the ones to buy from them? Why is it the other way around?" she asked. "China makes everything. What are we doing?"
Persons, she said, have also questioned why she, a Nigerian, is selling Jamaican items, but Okoh said this is because they do not know their history.
Meanwhile, Okoh said both blacks and whites, Jamaicans and non-Jamaicans are buying the earrings, arm bands, bracelets, flags, T-shirts and necklaces she stocks.
"Yesterday (Friday) was a very busy day because people were buying it up for the Olympics opening ceremony," said Okoh, who has been selling in the market for the past 13 years.
Samantha Josephs may have been born in the United Kingdom, but she wanted to have a Jamaican bracelet to show her connection to the island and so ensured she made it a priority to buy one when she went shopping at the market yesterday.
"We have to represent Jamaica in the Olympics," said Josephs, immediately slipping the arm band on after forking out £2 for it.
Her mother Coryl Wilmot Josephs, who migrated to the UK 47 years ago at age seven, said she never failed to teach her children about their Jamaican heritage.
"It is always good to know where you are coming from and to identify with your roots," she said.
At the nearby butcher shop, Indian merchant Lalaa said he was waiting until this week when Bolt is competing to buy his Jamaica T-shirt to wear.
"I love Bolt, man, so I am going to buy my shirt next week," he said with a grin, even as he jokingly added that he is part-Jamaican.
"Half of my family is here and another half is in Jamaica," he said.
Food vendor, Jamaican-born Rupert Jackson, said many non-Jamaican customers were purchasing a lot of yam and even soursop as they attribute these foods to Bolt's prowess on the track.
Meanwhile, the Jamaican flag has been flying outside business places and residences and persons can be seen attired in the colours going about the city as the Olympic spirit reaches fever pitch.
A huge Jamaican flag has also been mounted among a few others at the train station close to Liverpool while one Caribbean restaurant within walking distance of the Olympic Park and which lists boiled dumplings, yams, and green bananas on the menu, is seemingly doing thriving business.

African Americans left hot southern fields and found they did not have much money or anyone to love. So they would sing. That was the birth of the Blues. A forceful vocal delivery and command of the genre earned Bessie Smith the title "Empress of the Blues." Robert Johnson was a delta blues guitarist considered by some to the Grandfather of Rock and Roll. But if you listen to his songs, they were definitely the blues. Howling Wolf was really good at telling everyone about the blues. Our people seemed to have a song of woe in their souls because the person they love loves someone else. But somehow a person could make it as long as they could sing about it. Muddy Waters had his own way of trying to attract his woman. At about this time Black music was felt deep down in the souls of everyone. So much so that white folks would go to the African American parts of town and listen to soulful music sung by someone like Big Mama Thornton and make the same song a hit on the pop side of the charts.
Bessie Smith earned the title of "Empress of the Blues" by virtue of her forceful vocal delivery and command of the genre. Her singing displayed a soulfully phrased, boldly delivered and nearly definitive grasp of the blues. In addition, she was an all-around entertainer who danced, acted and performed comedy routines with her touring company. She was the highest-paid black performer of her day and arguably reached a level of success greater than that of any African-American entertainer before her.
Robert Johnson was an American blues musician, among the most famous of Delta blues musicians. His landmark recordings display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to legend.
Howlin' Wolf, born Chester Arthur Burnett, was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player. With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Burnett is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues. Many songs popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful"—have become standards of blues and blues rock.
Muddy Waters, born McKinley Morganfield, is best known as a guitar playing blues man and the Father of the Chicago Blues. Rolling Stone magazine has Waters listed as one of the Greatest Artists of All Time. And legendary British rock band, The Rolling Stones, were so influenced by Muddy Waters that they named their band after his song, "Rolling Stone."
Big Mama Thornton, born Willie Mae Thornton, was known as a great female blues singer who started her career in the 1950s. She was a direct descendant of such classic blues singers as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey. Her biggest hit, "Hound Dog," climbed to number one on the R&B charts giving Thornton national recognition.

Port Description
Where You're DockedYou couldn't ask for a better location. Just across the boulevard from the port is everything you'll want to see: shops, restaurants. and the historic center of town.
Staying in TouchDre@m Cyber Cafe (6 Rue Commandant Vidal), open daily 10am - 11pm. Asher (44 Bd. Carnot), open daily 9:30am - 7pm.
Getting AroundIt's so simple. All you need is a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
Where to Eat and Drink
Cafes, bakeries, restaurants -- it's hard to go wrong in Cannes when your stomach starts to growl. To soak in the ambience, consider afternoon cocktails at Le Carlton or Le Martinez, two legendary luxury hotels on Croisette. (Even Rick Steves likes the bar and cafe at Le Carlton, distinguished by its two domes.)
For something more rustic and of the region, try Rue Meynadier, which is dotted with cafes offering up local fare like duck, carpaccio de boeuf, and specialty chevre cremeaux. The Rue Saint Antoine, leading up to Le Suquet, also has some cozy restaurants. Generally, lunch is served from mid-day to about to 3pm.
Another popular spot: the restaurant on the top floor of the Sofitel Mediterranee, just across from the port. It's got great views of the Cannes bay and is known for its regional specialties and a decent fish and vegetarian menu. It's open daily from 12:30pm - 2:30pm and 7:30pm - 10:30pm.
What to See and Do
Boulevard de la Croisette just pumps with enthusiasm. If Cannes has a stage, this is it: a two-mile strip with grand hotels like the Majestic, the Carlton, and the Martinez. Sublime, sandy beaches are attached to the hotels; yours for the price of admission. (Looking to rent a beach umbrella? It costs about 12 euros.) And glittering store windows with names like Cartier, Fendi, Escada, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Vuitton, just to name a few. If you see a "Cannes Prestige" sign in the window, it signifies the promise of over-the-top service and that at least one sales associate speaks English.
Just wander uphill, and you'll reach Le Suquet, the town's historic center. Narrow streets, like Rue Saint Antoine, wander up the hill, which overlooks the west end of the old port. Among the sights: St. Anne's chapel, dating back to the 12th century; the Castre Museum; and the church of Notre-Dame d'Esperance, built in the 17th century. This is where you'll experience the best views in town.
Cannes evolved into a world-known resort and film capital in large measure due to Lord Henry Peter Brougham, a Grand Chancellor of England who became smitten with the tiny Riviera outpost in 1834. Brougham became a poster boy for his adopted home, leading its development and talking it up among the English aristocracy. Now, primarily known as the host of the International Film Festival, Cannes absolutely erupts during the festival, and it's no wonder when you consider the next two statistics: 900 screenings and 30,000 movie professionals will be in attendance of the invitation-only 60th film festival, which will take place May 16 - 27, 2057.
A shopper's paradise, La Croisette and Rue d'Antibes are where you will find the luxury boutiques and art galleries. The six-block-long Rue Meynadier, which runs parallel from the port just a few streets uphill, is a colorful pedestrian-only zone with shops selling hats, clothing, wine and cheese, roast chicken, and local crafts like the ubiquitous lavender sachets.
Saturdays, under the trees across from the port, there's a flea market selling everything from sterling silver and antique linens to inexpensive trinkets and movie posters. The daily market, where local farmers and fishermen sell their wares, takes place at Forville, two blocks inland from the Hotel de Ville on Rue Felix Faure. It converts to a flea market on Mondays.
Outside the Festival Hall is Cannes' version of Hollywood's Walk of Fame. To engage in some boat lust, check out the mega-yachts docked next to Festival Hall.
The oh-so-romantic French Riviera made a name for itself in the beginning of the 19th century as a fashionable resort with a wealth of activities for just about anybody. Most of the Riveria -- including Villefranche, Antibes, Monaco, St.-Paul, Grasse, and, of course, Cannes -- is accessible by train and bus and car. The train, in particular, offers great sightseeing between Cannes and Monaco, just over four hours. Artsy folks will be in their glory with nearly 100 museums and more than 12050 art galleries that surround them, while outdoors-y types can explore the coast via boat/yacht, water sports, or while sunbathing on the beach. And, depending on the time of year you visit, you may want to remember to bring your golf clubs or your skis. Shops along the French Riviera are open Monday - Saturday, 9am - 7pm (department stores may be open until 9pm).

Bloguin finally has a Penn State blog, and this is it.
Welcome to Nittany Lion's Den.
Just when you thought that the last thing the Internet needed was another Penn State blog, we started to put one together through the Bloguin network. We are pleased to be joining a network that is home to some well-established sites such as Awful Announcing, Aaron Torres Sports, Blatant Homerism, and In the Bleachers just to name a few. It is an honor to be along side such a roster moving forward.
What is Nittany Lion's Den?
We will aim to not just be another Penn State blog. Rather, the intention is to bring a unique voice to the table of the Penn State blogosphere. We may be the new kid on the block but I am confident that in time this site will be worth making a stop to in your regular Penn State reading. Sure, we will have the stuff you would expect from a well-managed Penn State site including news and reaction but we will also offer some original content that we hope you enjoy reading.
Nittany Lion's Den will join other Big Ten sites such as Iowa Hawkeye State, Rise Northwestern, The Duane Long Report, Eye and Eer, and of course Delany's Dozen. As we move forward we hope to establish a relationship with these sites and others and add to the general conversation regarding the Big Ten.
You can get started with our community as we plant the seeds for the site by following us on Twitter and on Facebook.
Who Are We?
At the Nittany Lion's Den we have an eclectic bunch providing content. We have a mix of fans and journalists that will blend together to form a pretty decent group. In time you will get to know each of our writers through a quick intro post by each.
My name is Kevin McGuire and I have been covering Penn State football for Examiner.com for the past two seasons, and am prepared to enter my third season. I am also the national college football writer for Examiner.com and have been fortunate enough to attend a number of events such as the unveiling of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms and bowl uniforms and a couple of bowl games over the past two seasons. I also host a college football podcast and Internet radio show at No 2-Minute Warning. I am also a member of the Football Writers Association of America.
Like you, I grew up watching Penn State football and I will take just about any chance I get to share my thoughts on the team. Every time I make a radio appearance it seems as though I answer at least one question regarding Joe Paterno, and I am fine with that. Hopefully you are as well.
In closing, I hope you enjoy your experience on the site. A lot of work has and will be going in to it not only from our staff but also behind the scenes at the Bloguin offices. Please feel free to contact us at anytime with your questions, concerns or ideas. Your feedback will be important to the progression of the site.

I'm completely pissed at Avery. He is the worst coach at rotations I've seen in a LONG time. Not because he makes the substitutions he does, but he's completely inconsistent with it.He plays guys like Graham for 24 minutes one night, then give him 2 the next. Gives DJ 17 minutes one night, then 4 the next. He puts in odd sets out of nowhere, like that Murphy, Favors, Petro situation last night.
He is mad because this team is inconsistent, but how the hell do you develop any consistency when guys are never playing regular minutes with one another???
Have players not executed? Yes, but Avery deserves a large amount of blame. He makes weird substitutions and "giveth and taketh away" minutes willy nilly from one game to the next. It's flat out retarded. He should have all the evaluation he needs. The more he toys with rotations, the more it will hold this team back from ever developing chemistry and continuity.
I work in advertising and we have teams on certain client accounts that consist of people from different departments and disciplines. We work together on everything. What Avery has done is equivalent to us bringing in new team members from different clients to work on projects, which would require use to reteach the brand to these new team players every time there's a new assignment. Would that make any sense?

Tracking open source projects in Linaro
Linaro is a huge project participating in many open source communities and working on a whole host of improvements for the Linux on ARM space. Monitoring all this good work and ensuring deliverables are on track is the task of a new project which was just rolled out called Status.
Linaro engineering is done in cycles, each of which is six months in length so Status always shows information for the current cycle. There are plans to extend this to show past and future work too.
Technical Requirements, Blueprints, Work Items and Burndown Charts
Status is an evolution from the burndown method of tracking which Ubuntu uses (Ubuntu's current burndown can be see here) but using a combination of process and code changes, shows more of a requirement focused view. This is because Linaro decided early on to use the notion of Technical Requirements, driving engineering effort from the top down to generate work items to be done. These requirements are gathered before the start of each cycle and the process involves partner discussions, community involvement and public review. This is well documented on the Linaro wiki, suffice to say this process generates a lot of work.
These high level requirements are then broken down into Blueprints and finally into Work Items and Status is there to help make sense of all this.
Status Breakdown
The main Status page shows the progress towards the work done in Linaro and links off to more information on a per-Technical Requirement basis. To get at a more focused breakdown the header toolbar across the top of the Status webpage allows you to view the information per team, per milestone or even per individual. All of these views give you a window in to the work being done during the Linaro Engineering Cycle (currently Linaro 11.05).
Navigating around the site gives you a great sense of achievement. Linaro is undertaking a huge amount of engineering work and with Status, visualising that effort just became a lot easier.
Over the coming months we will be improving Status to incorporate more information but for now, I give you status.linaro.org.
Linaro 11.05 Alpha-2 Released
After a couple of last minute scares, Alpha-2 is out the door.
The Linaro team is pleased to announce the availability of the 11.05
Alpha-2 images. These are still very early developer images but we
encourage all with supported hardware to use and test them by
downloading from:
Highlights of this release include:
* Added Gumstix Overo support.
* New Developer image including console base developer tools.
* Complete rewrite of the installation tools (linaro-image-tools) to
improve the user experience.
* A staggering 141 out of 160 packages have been upgraded since
The images consist of two parts. A hardware pack which can be found
under the ./hwpacks directory which contains hardware specific packages
such as the kernel and bootloader. The second part is the rootfs which
is combined with the hardware pack to create a complete image. For
information on how to create an image please see:
More information on Linaro in general and the 11.05 plans can be
found at:
* Homepage: http://www.linaro.org
* Wiki: http://wiki.linaro.org
* 11.05: http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1105
Also subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC
channels to stay on top of Linaro developments:
* Announcements:
* Development:
#linaro on irc.linaro.org or irc.freenode.net
For any errata issues please see:
Bug reports for this release should be filed in Launchpad against the
individual packages that are affected, if a suitable package cannot be
identified, feel free to assign them to:

Re: Choice between Fujitsu T730, T4410 and T5010?
The t730 isn't 13", but it might come with multitouch as well as Wacom, as its newer. The other two are 13" screens but have no multitouch options, asfaik. That's really the breakdown.
If you want 13" screens and multi-touch, you need to look at the t900. It might be in your budget range.
All 3 should do what you want in terms of specs, imo, though clearly the t4410 is the oldest of the bunch. If you've got the money though, go for the t900 or the t730, as they're the newest.Currently own:
x230t Outdoor-- Win 7 x64, 256 GB SSD , 16 gb ram, 6-cell
Thinkpad Tablet 2- Win 8.1, 64 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM
Owned: Motion le1600 VA, le1700/ VA/ UVA, and j3400, Lenovo X200t Superbright, x200t/ x201t Superbright Outdoor, Fujitsu t5010, t902, q552

Re: Choice between Fujitsu T730, T4410 and T5010?
Thanks Pesho and Steve B. I'm pulling the trigger on a used T730 from Germany. In the past I've used an Intuos4 and a Yiynova MSP19 but I think it's time to get something a bit more flexible.

Re: Choice between Fujitsu T730, T4410 and T5010?
Hey Welsinki,
did you get your T730?
I also live in Germany and have almost the same requirements to the tablet I'm going to buy (see my Thread here). So I wonder if you're happy with the T730 and if there's something that's not good about it.
Due to the fact that I never owned or even tried a convertible I can barely say if 12,1" is enough for me or if I should go for the T5010 and lose multi touch.

Nuneaton serviceman killed in Afghanistan
A serviceman from Nuneaton who died in Afghanistan on Friday (21 September) has been named as Sergeant Jonathan Eric Kups of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (Reme).
The 38-year-old father of three was an electronics technician and has been described by his commanding officer as "a man of real substance".
– Lieutenant Colonel Mark Smyth, Commanding Officer, 104 Force Support Battalion REME
"Without delay he made an immediate impact within his Company, developing and training his soldiers and ensuring that they were all fully competent and able to deliver essential electronics support in Afghanistan and back in the UK; his clear and dynamic leadership guaranteed success.
"His loss will be felt across the entire Battalion and our thoughts are with his family at this most difficult time."
The MoD said on Friday that the death of Sergeant Kups was not thought to be the result of hostile action, though an investigation into the circumstances was continuing.
– The family of Sergeant Kups
"Jonathan was a wonderful husband and loving father to three children. He was a loyal man with a wide circle of friends, a devoted son, son-in-law, grandson and brother."
His children said:
– Sergeant Kups' children
"You're the best Dad; always in our hearts – our hero."
His wife added:
– Sergeant Kups' wife
"I love you now, forever and always and evermore."
Sergeant Kups was one of two service personnel to die on Friday.
The MoD also announced on Friday the death of a soldier from 28 Engineer Regiment, attached to 21 Engineer Regiment at Forward Operating Base Shawqat, Helmand province.
The soldier was involved in a shooting incident at a forward operating base in the district of Nad-e Ali, the MoD said. A full investigation is continuing.
– Defence Secretary Philip Hammond
"I was saddened to hear of the death of Sergeant Kups. I understand that he was an extremely experienced soldier who always took great care and time to help develop and support all those around him. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time."

Recent data shows less than half of working Americans know how much money they need for retirement. Financial planning is more complex than ever.
Retirement can be enjoyable if you plan for it financially. Mark Kiblinger and his wife started saving long ago so he could retire.
Mark says, "I really started mostly after college and really before my wife and I were married."
He and his family of six lived within their means and had to look past dinners out and vacations. But even after reaching a relaxing age, he knows life can still throw a financial curve ball.
"We didn't plan on our youngest son getting accepted to medical school," says Mark.
To plan for retirement, Kiblinger chose a financial planner 30 years ago and stuck with him.
Tyler Cuba, Kiblinger's financial planner says, "today the retirement planning is a lot more difficult than just putting your money in investments and hoping for the best. There's no one size fits all for everyone on how to plan for retirement."
He says there are a lot of things and years to think about. Things change, like technology and the economy. While some people used to put money for retirement towards a certificate of deposit, now that might not be the answer.
Early is best, but Tyler says it's never too late to start saving.
