Short, Sweet Sports AnimeMost sports anime/movies/tv shows I've seen revolve around one of two concepts - defeat of the Arbitrary Rival School or the Dishonorable Coach/Rival Player.Read more
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club has neither of those things. It's a show about friendship and personal improvement, closer in similarity to an anime series about otaku or a non-athletic club than a traditional sports narrative. What you're getting ...
It's Not What You Think And Better.This anime is more than great animation, story pacing and character development.Read more
It's a great look at youth, passion and the illusions of friendship. It's a slice of time when whatever we are doing is the most important thing in the world and the belief that our friends will always be close to us.
The setting in a high school swim club is secondary to the themes involved. It does make it ...

I'm used to anime cliches so that didn't really throw me so much as the main character, Haru, being so incredibly odd. There was not a very deep plot to this anime, BUT I ended up falling in love with the characters (especially Rei, who I could totally relate to), and have watched the series multiple times. I even ...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:An Entertaining WatchI'm not much into sports, but I must say that I really enjoyed this anime. It is full of funny moments that just make you laugh. There are many moments throughout the anime that mess with your feelings. One moment they're super happy the next depressed, it's a crazy ride. The characters are fairly unique and each and an element to the series that is indispensable to the enjoyment of the anime.
The Only Thing You Need Are Hot BodiesThis show isn't very deep but it does have one very strong thing going for it.Read more
Hot. Almost. Nude. Men.
Yep, that's it. That's the story. Swimming boys review their mildly angsty childhoods while reforging old friendships and having a great time swimming. The animation is superb and the mood is really great. The ending song is so much fun with the bad boy Rin stealing the show. (those ...

The story I loved it, also the soundtrack was awesome, It got me pumped and sometimes emotional. I can't wait for season two and I never thought the anime was to be this great! I'm so glad I watched it it was a great story it got me motivated for summer and to get fit!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Fan service for girls and I still love itWhen I first started watching this show I thought to myself "fan service for girls obviously" but as it went on I got more and more intrigued and couldn't stop watching. Sure a lot of scenes are over the top, but that just adds its own flare to the shows entirety. This is one of the clear examples of don't judge a book by its cover, I love this show.The believable cast the non over the top story ...Read more
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful:The sports anime that made me like sports animeI started watching this because I heard that it was funny and really gay, but it's so much more than that. Yes, it has it's moments, but you can't help but love all of the characters and find their little quirks amusing. I was really skeptical of sports anime because I really don't like watching or partaking in sports, but this made me want to run down the the local pool and take a swim! Anyway, ...Read more
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Free - It's about Teamwork, Camaraderie, and FriendshipFree is a great anime about Teamwork, Camaraderie, and Friendship. It's not a "BL" as some seem to have labeled it. It's friends who are passionate about swimming, and the natural talents and hard work each one brings to the sport, and how they synergize as a team and as rivals.Read more

Impressed with le swimming anime!I was impressed with this anime! My first impression of it was "wow, this looks stupid and just full of yaoi fan service." But you know what? If there was fan service, I barely noticed it. The music was so fun to. MAKE US FREE NA SPLASH KASENETA!Read more

It's a chance to take on the NCAA champions
Original post made on Sep 10, 2011
The Stanford women's soccer match with defending national champion Notre Dame on Friday night is a certified sellout, but there's plenty of seats available for Friday's Stanford women's volleyball match against four-time national defending champion Penn State and there's no scheduling conflict.

Cook didn't play in a 4-2 system last year... she played in a 6-2 system. Six hitters (because Cassidy Lichtman both hit and set and Cook shared her rotation with a hitter... usually Hayley Spelman) and two setters.
The most interesting change on offense this year isn't the switch back to a 5-1 system... except for 1994, 1995 and parts of 2008, 2009 and 2010, that's been Stanford's norm... it's that Stanford has a middle blocker (Carly Wopat) not only regularly playing back row... the first since Barbara Ifejika in 1997... but regularly attacking from the back row. Carly might be the first Stanford MB to do that since Bev Oden, one of the greatest college (and international) players in American volleyball history.

"Cloud made Big Data what it is today," stated Scott Morrison, CTO at Layer 7 Technologies, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. "Cloud gave us the massively scalable infrastructure necessary to practically do Big Data," Morrison continued, "as well as the engineering mindset that made it a front-of-mind solution for organizations that may not have considered it before."
Cloud Computing Journal: The move to cloud isn't about saving money, it is about saving time. - Agree or disagree?
Scott Morrison: It's about both, but one or the other may be the driving motivator depending on the organization.
Cloud Computing Journal: How should organizations tackle their regulatory and compliance concerns in the cloud? Who should they be asking/trusting for advice?
Morrison: Definitely look to the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) for independent advice and guidance. Also consider engaging a specialist services firm that can provide advice from a technical, legal and organizational level.
Cloud Computing Journal: What does the emergence of Open Source clouds mean for the cloud ecosystem? How does the existence of OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and so on affect your own company?
Morrison: It makes it practical to build small private clouds with low risk and low cost. These have a tendency to take hold and grow fast, so organizations must be careful about choosing the right one early that will be able to scale effectively in their organization.
Cloud Computing Journal: With SMBs, the two primary challenges they face moving to the cloud are always stated as being cost and trust: where is the industry on satisfying SMBs on both points simultaneously - further along than in 2011-12, or...?
Morrison: Definitely further along than before. Amazon remains the benchmark for cheap and accessible public cloud infrastructure, and they've made tremendous strides in making a secure and trustworthy environment available that meets the needs of many SMBs and even the large enterprise.
Cloud infrastructure is also becoming ubiquitous enough that niche players are emerging offering highly secure and trustworthy environments. These often come at greater cost than Amazon, but the tradeoff may be in achieving a higher level of compliance to an organization's needs.
Cloud Computing Journal: 2013 seems to be turning into a breakthrough year for Big Data. How much does the success of cloud computing have to do with that?
Morrison: Cloud made Big Data what it is today. Cloud gave us the massively scalable infrastructure necessary to practically do Big Data, as well as the engineering mindset that made it a front-of-mind solution for organizations that may not have considered it before.
Cloud Computing Journal: What about the role of social: aside from the acronym itself SMAC (for Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) are you seeing and/or anticipating major traction in this area?
Morrison: The big challenge around cloud remains identity, and social identity is an important piece of this puzzle. The technology exists for effective identity integration across SMAC, but in practice it remains hard to do because of complexity.
Cloud Computing Journal: To finish, just as real estate is always said to be about "location, location, location", what one word, repeated three times, would you say cloud computing is all about?
Morrison: Accessibility, Accessibility, Accessibility. Cloud is about getting the resources you need, when you need them, with little or no friction.

The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads. Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy.

All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices - computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by 2020. This number will continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next several decades. Over the summer Gartner released its much anticipated annual Hype Cycle report and the big news is that Internet of Things has now replaced Big Data as the most hyped technology. Indeed, we're hearing more and more about this fascinating new technological paradigm. Every other IT news item seems to be about IoT and its implications on the future of digital busines...

IoT is still a vague buzzword for many people. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kavis, Vice President & Principal Cloud Architect at Cloud Technology Partners, will discuss the business value of IoT that goes far beyond the general public's perception that IoT is all about wearables and home consumer services.

This Internet of Nouns trend is still in the early stages and many of our already connected gadgets do provide human benefits over the typical infotainment. Internet of Things or IoT. You know, where everyday objects have software, chips, and sensors to capture data and report back. Household items like refrigerators, toilets and thermostats along with clothing, cars and soon, the entire home will be connected. Many of these devices provide actionable data - or just fun entertainment - so people can make decisions about whatever is being monitored. It can also help save lives.

"You'll find this dough to be a little wetter and tackier to work with than some of the others. Learning to work with a slightly sticky dough rewards you with a crust that is crisp and airy, yet chewy. In New York, most pizza dough is pressed, stretched, and tossed, but never rolled with a rolling pin. Keep your hands well dusted with flour and even though the dough feels tacky, your hands won't stick and tear the dough. As you press and stretch the dough, if it bounces back, let it rest for a few minutes before continuing to stretch and toss the dough. This is a great dough for practicing your tossing skills! Time does not include rise-time. Adapted rom Diane Morgan and Tony Gemignani, Pizza (Chronicle Books, 2005). For their topping recipe, see New York-Style Spinach and Ricotta Pizza"
Serving Size: 1 (1320 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"Awesome recipe, and you were right, it really was easier to work with, and a lot more on par with what I was expecting from a NY crust than the others Ive tried. Thanks for posting this!"
"I have never worked with pizza dough that went together so easily. I chose to knead by hand as I"ve never used my dough hook on my KitchenAid. So, never wanting to fix something that isn't broken decided to do it the old fashion way. I cut this recipe in 1/2 as I was only serving two and it rolled out (splendidly) into an 11x15 inch square on my stone cookiesheet. I did chose to add the italian seasoning to the dough to give it a little more taste. Topped with some home-made pepperoni's and sausage from the local deli along with some shredded moz and parm and this made a filling meal for the family. I'll be making this again as it's just a great all-around pizza crust. Made for PRMR."
"This was just excellent. I made 1/3 for a small pizza and skipped the refrigeration time and just let it rise for about 45 minutes after getting it all mixed and kneaded well. I used the Italian seasoning which really gives a lot of flavor to the dough. Very easy to work with and made for a great bacon, red pepper, onion and jalepeno pizza. Made for Cookbook tag. Thanks 2bleu."
"No stars at this time, I am working though "my" issues versus the recipe's issues. Somewhat OCD, I was thrown off by the lack of direction for completing a pizza. My dough didn't make a nice ball when I put it into the bag, although I would swear that I had played with it for at least 12 minutes. After I allowed the refrigerated dough to reach room temperature, I spread it out on top of aluminum foil over my pizza pan, and went to check common directions when adding toppings. It is possible that I took too long at that point. for when I removed the pizza from the oven, and cut it, the bottom stuck resolutely to the aluminum foil. Ergo, it would have been nice to know I should have spread some cornmeal on top of the aluminum foil before placing the pizza. I wore unpowdered latex gloves during kneading, which only seemed to complicate things; it reminded me why I normally purchased a crust. My pizza tasted good, but I couldn't separate a camera-ready piece.Made for Please Review My Recipe."
"This made a great pizza! I had to add a 1/2 cup of flour beyond what was called for to get the dough to come together, but other than that, I had no issues whatsoever. The dough was very easy to work with, and tasted great. It rose nicely, and had a nice bread-like texture. I used the optional Italian seasoning, and we all thought it gave the dough more character. I'll be very happy to make this dough again!"

NEW YORK The global refined copper market deficit narrowed to 69,000 tonnes in May, down 62.9 percent from 186,000 tonnes the previous month, as production increased 3.3 percent and consumption fell 2.8 percent, preliminary International Copper Study Group (ICSG) data show
World refined copper production increased to 1.89 million tonnes from 1.83 million tonnes in April, while refined copper usage of 1.96 million tonnes fell from nearly 2.02 million tonnes in the same comparison.
The global refined copper deficit for the first five months of the year totaled 466,000 tonnes in contrast to a 251,000-tonne surplus in the same period in 2013.
A 6.7-percent increase in world refined copper production to nearly 9.01 million tonnes through May was outpaced by a 15.6-percent jump in refined copper usage to 9.54 million tonnes. The rise in refined usage was led by a 29-percent gain in apparent Chinese demand to 995,000 tonnes, the ICSG said. Excluding China, global usage grew 6 percent, driven by an 18-percent gain in the European Union and a 13-percent increase in Japan.
Chinese bonded stocks at the end of May were about 160,000 tonnes higher than at the start of the year but were down by 315,000 tonnes compared with a year earlier.

On the influence of heat conduction on paramagnetic dispersion and absorption curves
Valkering, T.P. and Marel van der, L.C. (1970) On the influence of heat conduction on paramagnetic dispersion and absorption curves. Physica, 47 (3). pp. 412-424. ISSN 0031-8914
|Starting from the model of Casimir and Du Pré, which has been refined by Eisenstein, an expression for the differential paramagnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material, placed in a (gaseous or liquid) bath, is derived. This expression contains among others the coefficient of heat conduction and heat capacity of the surroundings and a heat resistance between sample and bath.
Numerical analysis and a short comparison with experiments show that in the temperature region of liquid helium the above-mentioned quantities have a remarkable influence on the dispersion and absorption curves.

A sailor caught in the web of Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" was just acquitted of all charges, after the judge ruled NBC engaged in entrapment.
Joseph Roisman was prosecuted for lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor, after allegedly arranging a meeting with someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl.
Judge Arthur Wick in Sonoma County, California, threw the case out after the prosecution presented its case, ruling prosecutors failed to prove Roisman had an intent to have sex with the decoy.
Roisman's lawyer, L. Stephen Turer, lashed out at the tactics of the people responsible for "To Catch a Predator," saying "They took everything away from this kid just to make a TV show."
Turer added, "This case is the poster child for the abuse in this program."
There were 29 arrests as a result of the Dateline sting. 28 of the defendants pled guilty without going to trial. This is the only case of the 29 that went to trial, and Dateline's tactics were squarely repudiated.
NBC could not be reached for comment.
That show did more to promote predators than eliminate them. Every perverted old man tha*****ched the show went away with the impression that there are loads of kids on line just waiting to have sex with old dudes if he's just careful not to get caught.
I hope he sues the network and/or the producers of the s***my show and wins a ton of money.
its now the begining of the end for this show.now EVERY perv will plea not guilty befor their trial.
He was prosecuted for the "attempt" of the act not for co mitt g the act as your article stated.
Well after all....this IS America.....where you can kill your kid, keep her in a trunk, dump her body and have a jury acquit you....so this doesn't surprise me at all.
It is a California Court - what else is the explanation. Now the preditor is free to strike again - this time he may be successful and harm a young person. Sad!
When will you kiddy's ever learn? A trial's outcome has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Rather, the outcome determines whether the law has been violated. And the process of determining same is based on a judge's subjectivity or jury members (some or all of whom can be illiterate, uneducated, etc.) Yup..greatest system in the world. Have I got a deal for you.....
How can you be charged with the intention of having sex with an underage girl when the decoy is over 18? Good for the judge on this one. There is enough real crime out there to prosecute!
I always thought entrapment was the domain of police... the chat transcripts proved what this person wanted to do.. and this creep brought exactly what the "13 year old" said to bring. That proves intent. One citizen can't "entrap" another when the other citizen is a willing participant. It's like the sting they did many years ago about child porn through the mail. They kept sending this one fellow offers, and he ignored them... but he finally capitulated and got himself some "juicy" kiddie porn. His defense? "I figured if I got the porn they'd stop sending me mail." Bull****.
This isn't pre-crime stuff... this is real crime. And Dateline, while shady... is just the display. PervertedJustice is the real group behind this. If you go to their site, you'll wish this turd was thrown in GP... so the rest of the inmates can show him what they do to child predators.
I think a lot of you are missing the point. Look no-one wants older guys banging 14 year girls. But its quite simple, the decoys NBC were using were NOT underage so no crime was committed. In fact, I dont think its legal for the anyone to use an underage decoy for anything in any state for any reason.
Sickening that anyone can defend these subhumans.... they mentally believe they are chatting with a child - doesn't matter if it's someone playing the part - I'm glad these pervs are outted on TV.... imagine the harm they could have done if it were a real situation and not a television production....
California Judges are fools. No wonder Cali has so many problems. Here's a freak thinking he's talking to a 13 year old on the internet about sex and then shows up to what he thinks is her house and he has no intent of having sex with her? POS! The creeper and the judge! I hate liberals!
This show is now "TRASHED" Good!
People were tired of seeing lives of individual's and their families ruined.
Some men were curious, stupid, or from countries were having minor's was ok (not a good excuse)
BUT ALL WERE ENTRAPPED IN THOSE NBC RENTED HOMES AND ROUNDED-UP LIKE HOG'S UNDER CAMERA LIGHT'S with the world watching. Cruel.
OOOOhhhhhh, I get it, it's okay for the 'PREDATOR" to entrap helpless victims , but is isn't okay for the GOOD GUYS to catch them at their game ?
Wow , i thinks we should take a closer look at some of these judges who make these rulings , i didn't hear the whole story but on its face His/Her Honor should err on the side of the the victims NOT the SHADY PERVERTS.
For once, justice has prevailed. It's good to see a judge smart for once and realize how terrible these kinds of shows are. I have said all along it's clear entrapment. I don't condone this type of behavior, but clearly it's a show setting up these people so they purposely put themselves in these situations.

CBS Earns 11.8 For Alabama-Florida, Best Non-Bowl Rating Since '06
Published December 7, 2009
|Saturday's Alabama-Florida SEC Title Game
Earns 11.8 Overnight, Up 13% From '08
CBS earned an 11.8 overnight rating for Saturday's Alabama-Florida SEC Championship game, up 13% from a 10.4 rating for last year's matchup between the same teams. The 11.8 rating marks the best overnight rating for the SEC Championship game since it was first held in '92 and the highest-rated regular-season college football game on the net since Notre Dame-Miami earned a 14.6 rating in November '89. Alabama-Florida also is the highest-rated non-bowl game on any net since ABC earned a 13.7 rating for Michigan-Ohio State in November '06 (CBS). In St. Petersburg, Tom Jones wrote the "normally solid CBS broadcast team of Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson had a rare off day calling" Alabama-Florida. There was a "bizarre reference to 'When Harry Met Sally,' ... a movie that came out 20 years ago." Jones: "It made the two sound 100 years old." However, CBS "absolutely did its job by showing a tearful" Florida QB Tim Tebow during the game's final seconds (TAMPABAY.com, 12/6).
GOOD TO THE LAST DROP: ABC earned a 7.6 overnight rating for its telecast of the Texas-Nebraska Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship on Saturday night, which featured Texas winning 13-12 on a last-second game-winning field goal. The rating is up 28.8% from a 5.9 for the comparable Oklahoma-Missouri matchup last year. Meanwhile, the Georgia Tech-Clemson Dr Pepper ACC Championship on ESPN earned a 1.9 metered-market rating. Last year's ACC Championship aired on ABC on a Saturday afternoon (THE DAILY).
PAC-ING THEM IN: In Portland, Rachel Bachman reported ESPN earned a 26.5 local rating in the market for Thursday's Oregon State-Oregon football game broadcast, the "highest-rated show on ESPN in the market since 2001." The game also marked the "third-highest-rated broadcast of any kind in Portland in the past year, sports or non-sports, behind the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl's pregame show." Meanwhile, Oregon State-Oregon earned a 4.2 cable rating and 5.7 million viewers nationally, making it the "second-highest-rated Thursday night game on ESPN this season" (Portland OREGONIAN, 12/6).

Extra sunscreen, extra bathing suit, extra pots and pans? For strictly kosher families, planning a vacation in an exotic destination means making room in luggage for what seems like half the kitchen.
But for Bryna Landes and Eve Berman, the founders of Kosher Casas, those days are over.
"If you've ever overheard two people who keep kosher talking about their vacation plans, most likely the first question is going to be, 'What will you eat,' and not, 'Wow, I've always wanted to go there,' " Ms. Landes said. "I dreaded packing for vacations because it inevitably involved packing my own food and cookware and knowing in advance my family and I would not exactly be eating gourmet food while on vacation."
Eager to lose the extra luggage and expand their destination choices to regions outside Florida and Israel, the two women have started their service in Costa Rica, giving travelers access to more than 80 rental villas that come fully koshered, from cutting boards to patio grills, by a local team supervised by the chief rabbi of the Centro Israelita Synagogue in San Jose, Itzhak Prober.

That is what Congressman Peter King said at a press conference in which elected officials called on the federal government to send resources to get the job done in turning power back on for all Long Island residents. On Friday, Nov. 8, 11 days after super storm Sandy devastated Long Island, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) reported that more than 81,000 Nassau County customers remained without power and more than 162,000 throughout Nassau and Suffolk. That was enough for King, County Executive Ed Mangano, Congressman Steve Israel, New York State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, to hold a press conference and ask the federal government to send the resources to do the job which LIPA has not been able to.
"Today, I along with Congressman Israel will be calling on the President of the United States to immediately harness all of the appropriate federal agencies," said King. Among the agencies that King is calling for are FEMA, the Department of Defense, the Energy Department and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"LIPA's management has become a disaster managing a disaster," remarked Israel. "We are now on day 12 of delays and excuses. We have no more time for excuses. We have no more time for delays. We need action."
Israel said that the army has the ability to do this as evidenced by their turning the lights back on in Baghdad and Kabul. He said he would call on President Obama to send those same resources to Long Island.
"We need the federal government to mobilize the full range of assets to assist in turning lights back on and getting the gas back flowing again," said Israel. "We don't need to turn the lights back on in Baghdad and Kabul, we need to turn the lights back on in Plainview, and Great Neck and the south shore of Long Island."
Israel further added that James Lee Witt, director of FEMA during the Clinton administration, is considered to be an expert in disaster situations. Israel said he had spoken with Witt, who told the congressman that he is willing to help out.
"He said he is ready, willing and able," Israel said of Witt. "LIPA is unready, unwilling, and unable to get the lights back on."
New York State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos joined with the congressmen in calling for federal help. Rockville Centre, where Skelos is a resident, has its own utility company. Skelos remarked that village had a plan and restored the power after five or six days, and if a small village could do that, it should have been done by a large organization such as LIPA.
"We are in a desperate situation," said Skelos. "Please, President Obama, this is our Katrina. Get the troops here, get the resources here, get the knowledge here, so we can start an immediate recovery."
"To put it into terms that Washington can readily understand, LIPA's power is at Defcon Two," said County Executive Ed Mangano in also calling for federal help. "I've requested that the federal government send every resource at their disposal to assist the management here at LIPA. LIPA clearly needs the technological and logistical assistance, right down to getting the information on a piece of paper, with clear concise instructions to our residents."
The lack of communication between LIPA and its residents was another issue that the elected officials attacked LIPA about. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray said that the town fields about 1,200 calls from residents per day and is frustrated that more information cannot be given to residents.
"There has been a total abrogation of responsibility by LIPA not only in delivering and restoring electricity to our residents but in communicating," said Murray as she blasted the power authority. "The bottom line is we are among the highest ratepayers for electricity in the country, and yet LIPA doesn't think we deserve a phone number to call to say when is my electrical inspector coming to my neighborhood, when should I expect them, what should I do, what can I do to help LIPA restore our electricity."
Murray also said that she had a conference call with LIPA COO Michael Hervey, who could not answer her question as to whether she, as a Town of Hempstead citizen living south of Merrick Road, needed an electrical inspection.
"Get back in our neighborhoods, repower our homes, and let us get back to a semblance of normalcy," she stated. "LIPA has absolutely fallen down on the job."
Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto expressed similar feelings. He remarked, "The lack of communication between LIPA and its ratepayers, the very people to whom they are beholden, has been incredulous since Sandy hit our area. Our residents and their customers deserve better."
When the storm struck, Governor Cuomo had remarked that he would closely be watching the performance of utility companies in restoring power outages. He sent a letter to the leaders of utility companies that operate in New York State, including Hervey. In that letter, Cuomo said he would take appropriate action against utility companies and their management if they did not meet their obligations to New Yorkers in this time of crisis. Since then, the governor has labeled the power authority as a "failure."
Brian Nevin, a spokesperson for Ed Mangano said that the county executive has called for the termination of LIPA management. Both King and Skelos said that change is needed.
"I think LIPA will be structurally changed, as the governor has indicated, and for the better," said Skelos. "What exactly that is going to be, we don't know right now. At some point, we will sit down and figure out how to make this responsive to people."
When asked if changes had to be made, Skelos replied, "Absolutely."

Two Long Island childhood friends, Scott Reich and Michael Winik, recently left their respective careers as an attorney and investment banker to pursue their dream of starting a business together, online food market OurHarvest.
"When Mike and I decided to start a business, we knew it had to reflect our shared love of food, address the lifestyles of our fellow Long Islanders, and be socially responsible," said Reich.

Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder
Sitting some where between Halloween and holiday present is the Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder. If you're not a Wii owner like me then it will probably take you a second or two to figure out what the hell this thing is.
The Nintendo Wii requires a sensor to be placed on the top of the TV in order for the controllers to work properly. If you own a Wii than you know how unappealing they can look. The Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder simply holds the sensor but makes it appear as though its Vader's Lightsaber. Yup, this might be the perfect gift for the Star Wars/Wii fan in your life.
Expect it to ship this November for $49.99.

Wipro Is First To Market With Global Run SAP Certification
Posted by Site Administrator on August 10, 2009

In recent interviews with client references, clients have told us that must haves in working with implementation services providers are tools or methodologies that lead to cost savings and a faster time to value. This is especially true for something like an SAP implementation, which is often a high profile undertaking that extends over several years and promises significant benefits.
In response, service providers are adopting the latest SAP methodology called Run SAP. Run SAP provides best practices, procedures, content, services, training, and tools for end-to-end solution operations. It focuses on application management, business-process operations, and administration of SAP solutions. It includes uniform tools and methods to reduce complexity, allows for the adjustment of standards to meet a wide range of requirements, and provides guidelines for knowledge transfer to employees tailored to the needs of a particular organization.
Wipro recently announced that they are the first SAP partner to be certified in Run SAP Methodology globally. Other large SPs like EDS and Keane are also certified Run SAP partners, but only in the United States, as well as niche players in local markets like Al Bilad Arabia. It's safe to say that other large providers will follow Wipro's lead and seek global certification, but for now, Wipro will certainly use this certification as an effective marketing tool for clients seeking faster value delivery and cost savings — but broader utilization in large SAP deployments and wider spread adoption in the SP community will be key to fostering its success

October 21, 2014
June 22, 2006
All across Virginia, steaming temperatures had people doing everything they could to keep cool. Temperatures reached up to 96 degrees in the area and that's before you factor in the humidity. It was enough to keep some people indoors, but not others who found the perfect way to beat the heat at the pool.
"I'm just trying to get out of the heat, it is so hot and humid today," said one parent.
While kids spent the day keeping cool in the pool, their parents made sure there was plenty of sunscreen and water to go around.
"We keep ourselves really hydrated with water and it's even fun to get an ice pop," said one mom.
The pool manager at Washington Park says the hotter it gets the more crowded it gets, so he constantly makes rounds to make sure everyone's okay.
"In our walk arounds, if we see people who are sweating profusely or see people who are looking kind of people, then we'll respond to that," said pool manager Bill Byers.
Over at the fire department, EMS officials were surprised they didn't have an increase in calls today, but say typically when the temperatures soar, so do the calls for heat exhaustion.
"A lot of time it's for people working outside or a lot of times for the elderly," said EMS Administrator Linda Johnson.
Fortunately, they are prepared. Each truck is filled with extra water, and fire crews can cut back on the gear the wear. With the temperatures so high though, officials warn to stay indoors as much as possible.
"Definitely hydrate yourself everyday, actually not just on hot days, if you keep up hydration throughout these summer months, you'll do a lot better with this type of weather," said Johnson.

She's best known for her ample posterior and bountiful bosom, but it turns out Kim Kardashian has a big heart as well.
In last night's episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," the "Disaster Movie" dame visited an orphanage in Thailand and ended up making a connection with a little girl named Pink.
She's always held family in close regard, so when Kim Kardashian read Adrienne Bailon's scathing words about her kin in the new issue of Latina magazine, she was furious.
There's little doubt that she loves to pose for pictures, and Kim Kardashian further reinforces the notion in the new bonus clip from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" that aired on Sunday (July 27).
In one segment, the "Disaster Movie" dame chats on the phone with her then-fiance Kanye West while vacationing in Thailand, discussing an upcoming photo book.
When Kim Kardashian married Kanye West in Italy back in May, the guest list was a who's who of famous folks and wealthy friends.
Enjoying all the milestones of motherhood, Kim Kardashian revealed that North West reached an important goal and couldn't wait to share it with her followers.
She's known for her signature style, but Kim Kardashian decided to change it up with a dark selfie on Sunday night (July 20).
In the Photoshopped pic, the 33-year-old reality star rocked black lipstick and a dramatic smoky eye while starring into the camera. Kim also switched up her locks to a funky shade of plum and finished off the look with a faux-septum piercing, which is a million miles away from her signature look.
Making for quite the embarrassing moment, Kim Kardashian accidentally flashes her step brother in the latest episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
Set to air tonight (July 20), the scene features Kim striking a few sultry poses when her brother Brody Jenner walks into the middle of the shoot.
When you're as famous as Kim Kardashian, every day is a holiday. On Thursday (July 17), the 33-year-old beauty shared a few gorgeous snaps of herself fully enjoying the hot, summer sun.
Lounging on a comfy chair, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stunning dropped her top and tanned her backside while wearing nothing but yellow bikini bottoms.

Reading residents outraged over lack of cleanup after building collapse
Updated On: Oct 15 2013 06:32:47 PM CDT
Residents in Reading are outraged as a collapsed building sits in disrepair.
Jim Bocian lives in the 1200 block of Buttonwood Street, just two doors down from the five foot pile of rubble lying on the sidewalk.
"Pissed off. It is a shame the city let this happen. For years and years they let this guy do whatever he wanted to do. So now everybody in the neighborhood has got to pay," said Bocian.
The home collapsed back on June 25. That is when 69 News learned that the building had been condemned and the owner had been living without water and utilities for years.
Neighbors say they are paying the ultimate price as they step out their doors every morning looking at the eyesore. And they're concerned about the safety of their kids.
"We were thinking they need to remove it because there is a lot of kids playing out there," said neighbor Marea Corts.
It has now been four months and neighbors say the building still looks the same as the day it came crumbling down. And they want answers as to when the city will demolish it.
"If they do not want to fix it then just put it down or do something with it," said Corts.
69 News first spoke with Mayor Vaughn Spencer's office by phone for comment. Staff referred us to the codes office. Now the codes department will not comment until it gets permission from the mayor.
"Clean it up. I know in my house, if the wall would fall down, they would give me so many days to clean it up and fix it. But now it has been months and it still looks the same way," said Bocian.
69 News tried contacting the mayor again but has yet to hear back from him.

A Northwestern University research team has found a way to manufacture single laser devices that are the size of a virus particle and that operate at room temperature. These plasmonic nanolasers could be readily integrated into silicon-based photonic devices, all-optical circuits and nanoscale biosensors. Reducing the size of photonic and electronic elements is critical for ultra-fast data processing and ultra-dense information storage. The miniaturization of a key, workhorse instrument -- the laser -- is no exception.
The results are published in the journal Nano Letters.
"Coherent light sources at the nanometer scale are important not only for exploring phenomena in small dimensions but also for realizing optical devices with sizes that can beat the diffraction limit of light," said Teri Odom, a nanotechnology expert who led the research.
Odom is the Board of Lady Managers of the Columbian Exposition Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and a professor of materials science and engineering in the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.
"The reason we can fabricate nano-lasers with sizes smaller than that allowed by diffraction is because we made the lasing cavity out of metal nanoparticle dimers -- structures with a 3-D 'bowtie' shape," Odom said.
These metal nanostructures support localized surface plasmons -- collective oscillations of electrons -- that have no fundamental size limits when it comes to confining light.
The use of the bowtie geometry has two significant benefits over previous work on plasmon lasers: (1) the bowtie structure provides a well-defined, electromagnetic hot spot in a nano-sized volume because of an antenna effect, and (2) the individual structure has only minimal metal "losses" because of its discrete geometry.
"Surprisingly, we also found that when arranged in an array, the 3-D bowtie resonators could emit light at specific angles according to the lattice parameters," Odom said.
