MWC 2011: HTC finally gets into the tablet game with the 7 inch HTC Flyer
Summary: I have been waiting patiently for a 7 inch HTC Android tablet and it looks like the HTC Flyer may be the one for me. I have to see how it does with a bit lower specs than the flashiest new ones, but this may keep the price reasonable too.
I love my Samsung Galaxy Tab and there hasn't been a single new tablet that has interested me because I want something in the 7 inch form factor. It looks like HTC may have just jumped to the top of my want list with its HTC Flyer 7-inch Android tablet. This baby has some decent specs, great form factor, and features that appeal to me.
Specifications for the HTC Flyer include the following:
- HSPA radio, including AWS for T-Mobile USA
- Quad-band GSM
- 1.5 GHz single core CPU
- 32GB Flash storage
- 1024x600 resolution display
- Aluminum unibody construction
- Dual cameras (5 megapixel on the back and 1.3 megapixel on the front)
- 4000 mAh battery
- microSD card slot
- Bluetooth 3.0
- 802.11 b/g/n WiFi
- Integrated GPS receiver
HTC also has a pressure sensitive capacitive stylus and technology that is supposed to give you a "groundbreaking pen experience".
Interestingly, the Flyer will ship with Android 2.4 and not 3.0 Honeycomb like the other new high-end Android tablets. Then again, HTC will offer its customized Sense stuff on there that might rival Honeycomb features.
I will have to see this in action before deciding on one, but have time since it won't be out until Q2 2011.

The fourth team was of course South Africa who were famously done in by the rain against England.

COP14 – Poznań
At Poznan, there were 500 young people from over 50 countries, working together in a spirit of collaboration, learning and action. The international youth caucus organised a two-day conference before COP, which proved to be a powerful forum for sharing ideas, sharing resources, and planning for coordinated action and campaigns throughout 2009.
International youth delegates at the Conference of Youth before the COP 14 in Poznan, Poland, 2008
Five young Australians decided to 'Be the change that they wish to see in the world', and travel from Australia to Poznan in as low-carbon a way as possible. The 5 volunteers met with youth climate campaigners in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and China along the way, blogged on their journey, using new social media to outreach to thousands of youth, and reduced their emissions from travel by 40% along the way. Their journey served as an inspiration, a reminder of the global interconnectedness of the climate movement, and a reminder of injustice and inequality as they travelled between such economically diverse areas as Cambodia and Moscow.
The Indian Youth Climate Network was founded to give a voice to the next generation of India in the climate dialogue. In their most recent project, 10 members travelled for 34 days more than 3500 kilometres through India in solar plug-in 100% electric cars and a tree oil powered truck. They visited more than 15 cities including Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Udaipur, Jaipur and Delhi, with climate communication and events in every location. The journey included clean-tech showcases, art, dance and music programs with local musicians and artists, to communicate the climate message in as many ways as possible. Along the way, the team conducted climate leadership trainings at more than 15 universities, training 500 new climate leaders.
Project Survival was an international youth initiative that arose from the coordinated youth efforts at Poznan, based on strong relationships between the youth caucus and struggling AOSIS nations. The campaign focused on the 'Survival principle' – that any international agreement must safeguard the survival of all countries and peoples. The survival principle sets minimum criteria for the Copenhagen agreement, which, if not met, would mean that entire nations and peoples will not survive – most notably indigenous peoples and Pacific Island nations. An agreement satisfying the survival principle means a collective level of ambition to stabilise climate change below 350ppm, and strong commitments to adaptation funding, among others. It is a principle to which governments can be held accountable.
Within three days at the conference, delegates from over 80 nations – including many major developed nations – had signed the 'Survival pledge'. As a direct result of the campaign, the principle was recorded in the COP President's summary of the Ministerial Roundtable – one of the key outcomes from Poznan. It is one of very few examples where civil society organisations have directly influenced the text of the outcomes at a COP.
The partnerships formed between youth and AOSIS nations in December 2008 has led to the establishment of a youth internship programme, 'Project Survival Pacific', where five Australian youth to be placed in the Solomon Islands for six months, working with government, NGOs and local youth groups, sharing skills and gaining invaluable inter-cultural experience. These five interns, plus five pacific youth, will attend the Copenhagen meeting, as part of the project.
Planning after the morning youth caucus at COP14 in Poznan, Poland, 2008
The event in Washington DC at the start of March brought 12,000 young people to Washington, to hold US elected officials accountable to the next generation. It builds on the success of the 2007 event of the same name, at which the Energy Action Coalition brought over 7,000 youth from around the country to Washington for a long weekend of climate learning and action. PowerShift included three days of intensive trainings and workshops to empower climate leaders.
A key aspect of PowerShift is the lobby day on Capitol Hill, where thousands of youth rally and met with every single Senator and Congressperson, sharing their common vision of rebuilding the US economy and reclaiming our generation's future through bold climate policy. Powershift provides youth with an opportunity to learn about climate science, politics, democratic processes, and the theory of social movements – and then it puts all this learning into action.
More than 2,000 young people joined with US environmental leaders in a non violent direct action at the Capitol Coal Power Plant in Washington, DC. After months of planning and communicating the event to legislators, the Capitol Coal Plant was transitioned to run on natural gas only two days before the scheduled shut-down. The march continued, gathering media attention and powering thousands to return to their coal plants across the nation for similar events.
Because of the collaboration of youth at Poznan and previous COPs, 'Powershift' events were also run in Australia, India and the UK in 2009, with great success.

Judge: Bartender beaten by cop can take 'code of silence' claims to trial
BY NATASHA KORECKI AND FRANK MAIN Staff Reporters February 23, 2012 3:51PM
Former Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate leaving court in 2009 after he was sentenced to two years of probation for beating up bartender Karolina Obrycka in a caught-on-video attack that went viral. Brian Jackson/Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: March 25, 2012 8:14AM
A jury can hear a bartender's claim that Chicago Police officers engaged in a "code of silence" to protect a cop who beat her in a videotaped attack seen around the world, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve denied the city's attempt to dismiss bartender Karolina Obrycka's 2007 lawsuit against Chicago and former police Officer Anthony Abbate. But the judge did toss out one of the counts against the city.
The Feb. 19, 2007 incident happened while Obrycka was working at Jesse's Shortstop Inn. Abbate, who was off duty, went behind the bar and punched and kicked Obrycka after she refused to serve him. Abbate was convicted of aggravated battery and sentenced to two years' probation.
In her ruling, St. Eve outlined evidence suggesting a code of silence among police after the incident and showing the city attempted a cover-up.
The judge noted responding officers Peter Masheimer and Jerry Knickrehm didn't include in their initial report that Abbate was a police officer or that the incident was captured on the bar's cameras. She said Abbate and his partner called other cops and detectives after the incident took place.
She also noted that city employee Gary Ortiz went back to the bar after the incident and "told Obrycka that Abbate had offered to pay for her medical bills and time off if she did not register a complaint or file a lawsuit against Abbate. The city concedes that Ortiz's action was an attempted 'bribe.'"
"A reasonable jury could infer that these numerous telephone calls and Officer Masheimer's and Knickrehm's conduct constituted an effort to protect Abbate from police brutality allegations or to cover up Abbate's misconduct," St. Eve wrote.
The Independent Police Review Authority found Masheimer and Knickrehm violated department rules, but it's unclear whether they were disciplined. Ortiz wasn't charged with a crime, officials say, and the city's web site lists him as a $70,000-a-year truck driver for the Streets and Sanitation Department.
St. Eve also noted testimony from Steven Whitman, a statistician hired as an expert by Obrycka's attorneys. Whitman found the rate of complaints of police brutality sustained by the police department was far lower in Chicago than in other cities.
Whitman found Chicago sustained as few as 0.5 percent of complaints in 2004, compared to a national average of 8 percent, according to a 2006 report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. In the Grand-Central District, where the incident took place, not one of the 147 excessive force complaints filed between January 2005 and February 2007 was upheld.
Terry Ekl, Obrycka's attorney, welcomed the chance to move ahead with the case. "The trial of this case will expose the extent to which the CPD will go to impede the proper investigation of police office misconduct," he said.
City officials pointed out that the judge did not rule on the merits of the case but said "these issues should go before a jury."

text: On April 19, 1999, at 1800 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140 airplane, N32458, was substantially damaged following a hard landing on runway 15 at the Cleburne Municipal Airport near Cleburne, Texas. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight which originated from Hicks Airport near Quinlan, Texas, at 1730. The aircraft was owned by a private individual and operated by Split-S Aviation of Fort Worth, Texas.According to a pilot rated witness, located on the approach end of runway 15, the accident airplane "came in hot and fast, hit the nose first and bounced up then nosed over again and impacted again [on the] nose." The witness added that the nose wheel separated and the airplane slid 100 feet down the runway, where it came to rest upright.During telephone interviews conducted by the investigator-in-charge, the pilot stated that he had "made a perfect approach;" however, when he got closer to the ground the airplane had "produced a very high sink rate." The pilot stated that the airplane would not respond to his control inputs to try and stop the descent. The airplane impacted the runway, bounced once, impacted the runway a second time, and came to a stop. At 1555, the weather observation facility at Carswell Airport (located 28 miles north of the accident site) reported the wind from 190 degrees at 18 knots. At 1553, the weather observation facility at Arlington Airport (located 30 miles northeast of the accident site) reported the wind from 230 degrees at 9 knots. The pilot reported that the wind at the time of the accident was from 180 degrees at 15 knots gusting to 25 knots.The pilot had accumulated 190 total flight hours, of which 40 hours were in the same make and model as the accident airplane. The pilot was endorsed for his biennial flight review the day of the accident.An FAA inspector examined the airplane and reported that the nose gear had separated, and the engine mounts and firewall were buckled. Additionally, he confirmed flight control continuity subsequent to the accident.

text: On May 22, 2011, about 1945 eastern daylight time, a Flightstar Inc. Flightstar II experimental-light sport aircraft (E-LSA), N194PG, operated by a private pilot, was substantially damaged after it experienced a loss of engine power while maneuvering and impacted terrain, in Grantville, Georgia. The certificated private pilot and a passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local personal flight that departed from Newnan-Coweta County Airport (CCO), Newnan, Georgia. The flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records, the airplane was manufactured in 1993 and issued an E-LSA airworthiness certificate on December 8, 2006. It was purchased by the pilot on March 16, 2010. The pilot reported that he departed CCO and flew to an airport about 5 miles to the southwest without incident. He conducted a low-pass over the grass runway, and then applied engine power to climb. The airplane experienced a momentary loss of engine power, which was followed by a sudden total loss of engine power. The airplane subsequently impacted trees and came to rest on a road. It sustained substantial damage to the forward portion of the cockpit, and the boom that supported the empennage was fractured.According to maintenance records, the airplane was equipped with a two-cycle Rotax 503 series engine, which had been operated for about 55 hours since new. The airplane had been operated for about for 965 total hours, which included 30 hours since its most recent condition inspection, which was performed on May 25, 2010. Initial examination of the wreckage by an FAA inspector did not reveal any obvious mechanical malfunctions. The engine was rotated by hand and compression was noted in both cylinders. Two spark plugs removed from the engine were brownish in color and exhibited "normal" wear when compared to a Champion spark plug chart. Approximately 5 gallons of fuel consistent with automotive gasoline was observed in the fuel tank and fuel was observed in the fuel lines to both carburetors. A subsequent disassembly of the engine by the pilot revealed scoring and other damage consistent with the rear piston seizing during engine operation. The safety information section of the engine operators manual stated the following, in part:"WARNING: This engine, by its design, is subject to sudden stoppage. Engine stoppage can result in crash landing, forced landings or no power landings. Such crash landing can lead to serious bodily injury or death.WARNING: This is not a certificated aircraft engine. It has not received any safety or durability testing, and conforms to no aircraft standards…."

Last season's infamous Champions League destruction of Roma has already been filed away as one of the classic European nights at Old Trafford.
The atmosphere around the ground in April last year was one of the most memorable in the club's history, with Sir Alex Ferguson admitting afterwards that United supporters can play a huge role in such nights.
"The fans can make a hell of a difference, there's no doubt about that," he said. "I think human nature means you respond to emotions, and the emotions of fans in games like Roma were absolutely magnificent, and the players responded accordingly."
With United 90 minutes away from reaching the 2007/08 Champions League semi-finals and Roma again providing the opposition, fans are being encouraged to again turn Old Trafford into a cauldron of noise and colour on Wednesday night.
The Stretford End Flags supporters' group are urging fans to bring scarves and flags for the match, and SEF will also have volunteers waving huge flags on the pitch before kick-off. Supporters are encouraged to bring the free red and white scarves distributed by the club before this year's Manchester derby.

Stafford County man charged in Walmart case
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
MORE: Read more Stafford County news
By KEITH EPPS
A Stafford County man was arrested Sunday after he returned to a county store to complain about a gift card that police said he'd obtained illegally a short time earlier.
Sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy said the man first entered the Walmart at 217 Garrisonville Road about 3:30 p.m. and took a 20-gallon aquarium that he hadn't paid for to the service desk to get a refund.
He had no receipt, but Kennedy said the store gives gift cards to customers with proper identification.
The man had his driver's license and left the store with the card.
About four hours later, Kennedy said, the same man returned to the store. This time he took a coffeemaker off the shelf and returned to the service desk for another refund. An employee put an additional refund on the same card, giving the man about $150, Kennedy said.
Shortly after the man left the service desk, someone realized that he'd been there twice already and an internal investigation began. Authorities were called and the gift card was deactivated.
Deputy Robert Kulveth was in the store talking to a loss-prevention officer when the man returned to the service desk for the third time. This time he wanted to know why his gift card had been deactivated.
Randolph Byrd, 49, was charged with two counts of obtaining money under false pretenses. He was placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under a $1,500 bond.

Tony Bennett, our cover star from the Winter 2012 issue of Zoomer magazine, turns 87 today. He was born Anthony Dominick Benedetto on August 3, 1926 in New York, and his musical career spans several decades and genres including pop standards, show tunes and jazz. He is revered for his smooth, musical delivery, with his first number one hit 'Because of You' released in 1951. But his most well-known, signature song is the classic, 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco.'
Singing has long been a family affair. His father, Giovanni Benedetto, who left Italy in 1906 to immigrate to New York, was also known to have quite the voice. "The legend from all my relatives was that he used to stand at the top of the mountain in Podargoni and the whole valley would hear him sing," Bennett told Reuters.

murasaki akai
Purple and red is a royal color combination. For this kimono, I used a range of murasaki purples, from usuki (pale violet) to fugi (wisteria) to ebi (red violet) to koki (deep violet). Th e front and back panels feature garter-stitch short-rows that create triangles and rectangles in a bold graphic. Th e center back panel is attached to the side back panels as it is knitted. Akai (true red) bobbles are added at the end.
Light cotton unlined kimono are typically worn in the summer months; the matte cotton I used for this design is comfortable for all seasons. Colors for kimono, layering, and for surface decoration vary with the season and the month within the season. A traditional school of Japanese etiquette lists lavender and burgundy as the color scheme for September. Th is kimono not only fi ts with tradition, it is also contemporary in its presentation and wearability.

-- If you don't believe plans change within WWE on a regular basis, the t-shirt being sold for Extreme Rules last night in Chicago listed the Intercontinental Title Match between Cody Rhodes and Big Show as "Cody's Choice: Tables Match."
This indicates that before the shirts were printed, the plan was for Cody to pick the stipulation of a Tables Match. Sometime between then and Friday's SmackDown, WWE officials came up with the idea of the Roulette Wheel that we saw on the pre-show.
Original plans also called for Kharma to squash Nikki Bella in a surprise return. They went with Layla at the last minute. As noted late last night, Kharma was backstage at the event despite her storyline tweets stating otherwise.
-- The general consensus backstage last night at Extreme Rules was the pay-per-view came off well. The CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena matches received rave reviews.
There was a lot of chatter about Cena going over Lesnar in the main event. The feeling among most was that WWE should have waited before having Lesnar lose because getting a dominant former UFC Heavyweight Champion back on your roster doesn't happen often and now Lesnar appears as just another talent on the roster that has lost to Cena.

Authorities say it could be weeks before we learn what happened in a Marathon County accident that killed three people Thursday afternoon.
This weekend we talked with local law enforcement to find out what goes on during a crash investigation.
Investigators say it takes weeks to piece together wrecks like the one that took place last Thursday on Highway 51.
Looking at information gathered at the scene from skid marks, to radiator fluid spatter, to the final resting position of the vehicles. Officials gather crucial information for court hearings and insurance companies.
"Because it's always somewhat of a mystery you wanna know why the crash occurred," said Deputy James Toth, "and with these reconstruction tools we can do that."
Toth also says new equipment helps speed up the process. On average, the marathon county sheriffs department takes about two to the weeks to complete most investigations.

Discrimination against Roma
Despite anti-discrimination programmes, discrimination against Roma continued, especially in housing, education, healthcare and employment. A poll conducted in April revealed the prevalence of prejudice against Roma, with nine out of 10 respondents indicating they believed that having Romani neighbours would constitute a "problem". In August, the UN Human Rights Committee (HRC) expressed regret that the Czech Republic had failed to adopt an anti-discrimination bill.
Hate speech
In April, Roma rights activists lodged a criminal complaint regarding hate speech against Deputy Prime Minister and Christian Democrat leader Jiří Čunek, mayor of the town of Vsetín, when Romani families were evicted from the municipality in 2006. He was quoted in the tabloid Blesk (Lightning) as saying that "in order to be entitled to state subsidies like Roma, other people would need to get a suntan, behave in a disorderly way and light fires in town squares before politicians would regard them as badly off."
In October, the police shelved the criminal complaint. In response several Romani NGOs filed a constitutional complaint against the police. Jiří Čunek resigned in November, following allegations of corruption.
Housing and forced evictions
Ombudsperson Otakar Motejl concluded that the eviction of several Romani families to very isolated parts of the country from the town of Vsetín in 2006 was a "mistake". Thomas Hammarberg, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, and UN Rapporteur for Housing Rights Miloon Kothari issued a joint statement in October saying that the Czech Republic was in violation of the right to housing, where Roma were concerned. They also criticized local public offices for supporting escalating intolerance of Roma and pointed out that forced evictions of Roma from city centres to isolated areas had become part of public policy. In November, it was announced that a governmental Agency for Removing Social Segregation in Roma Localities would start working in 12 localities in January 2008.
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) expressed concern that Czech law failed to clearly prohibit racial discrimination in the right to housing, and the HRC condemned the persistent evictions and continued existence of Roma "ghettos".
In November, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights concluded, in a landmark case, that the Czech Republic had discriminated against Romani children by placing them in special schools for children with learning difficulties solely on the basis of their Romani origin. Following the ruling, the European Commission called on the Czech Republic to take concrete measures on the ground to "bridge segregation" and to end discrimination against Roma children.
Although the HRC and the CERD acknowledged that the Czech Republic had phased out placing Romani children in "special schools" for children with learning difficulties, concerns remained that a disproportionately large number of Romani children were segregated into Roma-only classes in mainstream schools, where they followed different curriculums to the majority of the population. In addition, the curriculums lacked sensitivity to the cultural identity and circumstances of Romani children.
The HRC expressed concern at reports that high numbers of Roma children were being removed from their families and placed in social care institutions.
Police ill-treatment
The CERD and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture raised concerns about allegations of ill-treatment and excessive use of force by police officers, in particular against Roma and children, including their detention and coercion into confessing minor crimes. In July, the Supreme Court upheld a two-year prison sentence on a former Brno police officer for blackmail and misuse of power by law enforcement officials against a 14-year-old Romani boy. Reports of police misconduct continued, particularly against Roma and other marginalized groups, especially at the time of arrest and detention. The CERD regretted the failure to establish an independent body with authority to investigate complaints of unlawful conduct by the police.
- In July the Prague City Court of Appeals acquitted Yekta Uzunoglu, a German citizen of Kurdish origin convicted of the blackmail and torture of a foreigner. Yekta Uzunoglu alleged that he had been subjected to torture and ill-treatment when he was arrested by police in 1994. Amnesty International urged the authorities to investigate alleged procedural violations of Yekta Uzunoglu's right to a fair trial.
Forced sterilization
The HRC and the CERD expressed concern that women, most of them Roma, had been subjected to sterilization without their consent. Despite a 1991 ruling to stop such operations, sterilizations without the informed consent of women were carried out as late as 2004.
- In January the High Court in Olomouc delivered a ground-breaking verdict in the 2001 case of the illegal sterilization of Helena Ferenčíková, requiring the hospital which performed the sterilization to issue a formal apology. However, the High Court did not award Helena Ferenčíková the 1 million Czech koruna (approx €35,400) which she had sought as compensation for physical and psychological damage.
Mental health
The HRC concluded in August that mental health care in the country was inhuman and degrading, and called for far-reaching reforms. The Committee expressed concerns about the persistent use of enclosed cage beds in psychiatric institutions. Another concern was the forcible detention of those with mere "signs of mental illness" and inadequate control by courts of the process by which individuals were committed to psychiatric institutions.
Suspected renditions
There were allegations by HRC and other organizations that Czech airports had been used as transit points for rendition flights to countries where detainees were at risk of torture or ill-treatment. The HRC requested an investigation of possible transits through Czech airports. The government denied any knowledge of such incidents.
The Czech Republic remained the only European Union member state not to have ratified the Statute of the International Criminal Court.

For Immediate Release
ACTION ALERT: Protect Our Prairies
Your call could save taxpayers nearly 200 million dollars and protect critical grassland habitat
Washington, D.C. - March 22 -
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever urges its members nationwide to contact their House Representative and ask them to protect vital pheasant, quail, and wildlife habitats that have never been farmed.
Tell them to co-sponsor Protect Our Prairies Act - HR686.
This legislation, introduced by Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD), would reduce crop insurance assistance for the first four years for crops grown on native sod and certain grasslands converted to cropland. Reducing crop insurance assistance so it is proportionate with the production capability of this land, rather than insuring it at the same rate as land that has been farmed for years, could save taxpayers nearly $200 million over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office's estimate from the 112th Congress.
We are not alone in working to pass this Act; instead, Quail Forever is one of the many conservation groups voicing support for this legislation.
"Prairies and grasslands are treasured resources playing a critical role in reducing soil erosion, improving water quality, and enhancing wildlife habitat. It isn't often we can encourage proper land stewardship and provide savings to taxpayers. We applaud Representatives Tim Walz, Kristi Noem and other sponsors for doing just that. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are pleased to support the Protect Our Prairies Act," said Dave Nomsen, Vice President of Government Affairs for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever.
Importantly, this legislation does not prevent producers from making their own planting decisions.
Specifically, the legislation would:
- Limit crop insurance coverage to 65 percent of the applicable T-Yield until the acreage has four years of crop production.

If you have a chance to try it, Mises.org works really great on the iPad. With the new Stanza catalog, all the audio and most video, and of course the full website, it makes for a great Austrian economics consumption device. Please comment below if you have any other ideas for sharing our content with the world.
Mises.org on the iPad
{ 5 comments }
- September 3, 2010 at 9:24 am
A device, ipad, Kindle, whatever, pre-loaded with the Mises.org content and with a good index by subject, author, etc. and perhaps a few suggested reading lists by LvMI scholars is my dream. I would need to buy any other book as reading that material would probably take the rest of my life.
Congratulations for all you are doing!!!
- September 3, 2010 at 9:30 am
I have had the Mises catalog incorporated into Stanza on my iPad since it was announced, and the catalog adds to what is really is an embarrassment of riches for economic thought available for portable devices. Several times a day I check my current RSS news reader of choice (Pulse) to keep up with the Mises Blog and daily articles, along with other individual Austrian commentators' feeds. The other day I spotted the announcement that Jeffrey Tucker's Bourbon for Breakfast was now available in epub. I popped open Stanza and was reading his first essay in the book within two minutes. At this point, for anyone interested in Austrian analysis, the only challaenge is how to triage the plethora of resources available.

I've also been using stanza since you first posted about it and love it. It is very useful for the mises academy classes I've been taking. The only thing I can think of as an improvement for me would be if I could watch the lectures live on my iPad. Oh, and if Walter Block would teach a class for the academy I would be thrilled.

So, is there any way to browse the multimedia catalogue and stream your favourite audio lecture on your iphone without using Safari? Would be great to have while driving when you shouldn't manouver on the tiny screen trying to hit the tiny play button. It would be great if you could get a multimedia catalogue just like the ebook catalogue now available through Stanza. Anyway, great work Chad and the others behind the scenes making this available!
- March 26, 2011 at 9:23 pm
This is awesome. I have my work cut out for me. Thanks. Best thing I can do with my iPad 2. Btw, epubs are easier to read than PDF.

PCC Students wearing bright red hard hats and yellow vests are catching construction in action at the Southeast Center site this spring term.
Thanks to a collaboration between PCC Community Education, the Bond Program and O'Neill Walsh Community Builders, nine students enrolled in a pilot digital photography class entitled "Building Stories: Photographing PCC Construction Site," are learning how to develop and refine their photographic composition skills in the context of a dynamic construction site at Southeast Center. As students have full access to the construction site during hours of operation, they are able to capture – from a student's perspective – Southeast's transformation into a comprehensive campus.
The PCC Bond Program and Southeast Center will work with the students to publish their work (print and web) and display their works in the new buildings at Southeast.
With high interest in the class this term and positive responses from current students, PCC will be offering the Community Education photography course again this summer. The class will meet on Wednesdays, 2:00 – 3:50 pm over a period of six weeks. Click here to view informational flyer.
Photo gallery in this post features the first round of the students' work. Photographers include: Bernie Doran, Chris Gaede, Jaimee Lynch, Leo Li, Marty Crisp, Michael Horodyski and Patrick McGovern.

01.22.2010 - 13:07 | LimecatI saw this in theaters! Being a 12 year old kid, I loved everything I saw (hell I even liked the Resident Evil movie as a kid, and I know that it sucks). But I don't remember this movie being terrible enough to warrant a beatdown. I mean, this is in no way comparable to Beverly Hills Cop 3 or Steven Seagal.
EDIT: Scratch that, this movie IS terrible. But the time machine itself is fantastic. Wonder why they didn't just go with CGI. Would have saved them a lot of money.

10.01.2009 - 21:28 | alazryeah this was just an okay movie. In fact the only reason I watched this movie in the first place was, because they did some of the filming in my city(schenectady). In fact they park they used was right next to my middle school.

10.01.2009 - 21:43 | ThatRedshirtWithThePhaserA lot of things irked me about this movie but one I remembered when I watched your awesome beatdown was that the Moon would have coalesced back into itself as I doubt the rocks were in the Earth-Moon Lagrangian points L4 and L5 and even then they're not big enough to handle large rocks. Also it must have been a TREMENDOUS amount of energy released to do that to the Moon. But I digest. Still a crappy movie which needed more jigowatts to make it better.
10.01.2009 - 21:44 | Hewylewis
10.02.2009 - 11:52 | moviebuffmel90I would have to agree with you on that part. It did have some moments, but still I guess it is best to stick to the book rather than go off and do what you feel like. Shame about the directorial switch. Wells propably had something better in mind than Gore. Also, it changes the tone of the feature as mentioned. All I can say is it's not the best, but it's modest. (Note: Decent is better than modest. Modest is half and half, while decent in my dictionary is the equivalincy of good.)

10.01.2009 - 22:28 | LUrabbiThis film was so bad, they couldnt even come up with a decent tagline for the poster. "Where Would You Go?" No one even rubbed two brain cells together to make it "When Would You Go?" like it should've been.
Another excellent review FB. What a travesty, considering the brilliance of the source material.

10.01.2009 - 22:46 | jnywestGood episode. But I disagree about one thing. I don't really see the resemblence between the Uber Morloc and the Borg Queen. That is to say, i don't think that the film makers were ripping off First Contact.
This could have been funnier, there were a lot of missed opprotunities for jokes, but I nit pick.
10.01.2009 - 22:53 | Ed-SchweitzerBack when I first saw this movie I thought it was bad and back then I didn't even know that it was an "adaptation" of a book.
One thing I noticed now is that in this movie the Über-Morlock looks A LOT like a certain Kain from the Legacy of Kain games. Don't believe me? See it for yourself.

Why Can't Scots Have One Signing Day Ceremony?
Forgive me if you've heard this before, but I have to complain about the way the powers that be at Highland Park High School handle National Signing Day. This is a made-for-the-media event; an athlete's letter of intent is just as binding if he/she signs it in the privacy of his/her own home, and his/her scholarship will be no less valuable. Schools schedule Signing Day ceremonies just so the kids can get some much-deserved recognition. They get that recognition only if the media show up with cameras.
That's why I don't understand why the Highland Park coaches make our job harder than it has to be. (And I say "our" because I doubt any media outlets besides Park Cities People will be at HPHS on Wednesday.) Instead of scheduling one ceremony where we can interview all the athletes at once and get their smiling faces in a single photograph, here's how the coaches have arranged things: At 2:30 p.m., there will be a ceremony for football players in the coaches' office. FIVE MINUTES LATER, a separate ceremony for the girls soccer team is scheduled to begin in the cafeteria. I hope nobody gets too verbose in the football ceremony. Otherwise, my staff — and, presumably, principal Walter Kelly — will be running to the cafeteria to make sure they don't miss the soccer signing.
Meanwhile, Dallas ISD has somehow managed to schedule a single ceremony for its dozens of scholarship athletes from multiple schools. What a concept. Why don't you try it, Scots?
5 comments to "Why Can't Scots Have One Signing Day Ceremony?"
That just makes entirely too much sense, Dan.
The Highland Park ISD communications office just announced that the soccer ceremony has been pushed back to 2:50 p.m.
Stop the presses: We just got another update from the Highland Park ISD communications office. All four athletes (two football, two soccer) will sign their letters during one ceremony at 2:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. Thanks to whoever made this happen.
I bet you might be able to thank yourself.
Way to go, Dan. We should sic you on the school finance/Robin Hood issue.


text: On October 3, 2000, at 1430 hours Pacific daylight time, an Aerospatiale AS350BA, N189ND, made a hard landing after experiencing a loss of directional control at Gillespie Field Airport, El Cajon, California. Vortex Helicopters, LLC, operated the helicopter under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The helicopter sustained substantial damage when the tail boom contacted the ground. The airline transport pilot and one passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the positioning flight, and no flight plan had been filed. The helicopter had been returned from another operator after 15 hours of training flights in which a series of full autorotations to the ground were conducted. The purpose of the accident flight was to reposition the helicopter from the ground onto a landing cart for storage. While over the landing cart, the pilot experienced difficulty maintaining directional control. He suspected an antitorque failure and initiated an autorotation. The pilot stated at the time the landing cart was partially beneath the helicopter. The pilot maneuvered away from the cart in order to land on the ground and prevent a partial landing on the cart. As he increased power to maneuver away from the cart, there was a further loss of directional control. After clearing the landing cart, the subsequent hard landing resulted in the tail boom contacting the ground.In an interview with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, the pilot stated that while he was attempting to land on the cart, he saw something fly off the helicopter prior to losing directional control. During the on-scene investigation conducted by the FAA inspector, the aft tail rotor drive shaft coupling was found remotely located from the main wreckage. The FAA inspector noted that three bolts retain the coupling. One bolt was found attached to the coupling with no nut. He stated that there was no evidence of the nut having stripped the bolt. The second bolt was found on the ground with the threads intact. He was not able to find the third bolt or the other two nuts. The FAA inspector reviewed the maintenance logbooks and noted the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, North Dakota, performed the last annual on March 9, 2000. The University of North Dakota performed a track and balance inspection on the tail rotor system about 48 hours prior to the accident. According to maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer, the balancing is accomplished by placing washers under the nuts used to secure the bolts that attach to the aft drive shaft coupling. These were the same nuts that were not located at the scene of the accident. A caution to the maintenance instructions specifies that the bolts in this area should be checked for proper torque and safety after an inspection.The FAA San Diego, California, Flight Standards District Office reported the accident to the Safety Board on October 12, 2000.


text: There is a great amount of conflict brewing. We can all point fingers at who each of us thinks is responsible and what acts have been committed, words said, etc. That will do no good so lets all just skip that. Quiet conversations and emails have seem to done little to settle things and inadvertently seem to have added a sense of paranoia about who is saying what and who has what goals. My staying silent on many things in the hopes of a natural equilibrium of sorts hasn't helped either. I don't expect everyone to like each other. That is naive. I do expect everyone to act with a certain amount of respect for each other. I do expect us to be able to work together. If this group is to remain it is required that we do that. There can be no us and them. There is only Bonwicke. To that end I request that everyone who can make this populace do so. Everyone who has something to say show up and say it. Everyone who has a question about the group, it's future, anything, show up and ask it. This is not a democracy, don't get me wrong in that. The decisions I make, I make for what I see as the greater good of the Barony as a whole. They will not always be popular, they will not always be made without the expectation of sacrifice. It is not the job of a leader to do nothing distasteful, it is their job to do what must be done for the good of the group they lead and the attainment of the goal that group shares. I do however want to know your opinions, your ideas. I want to hear your concerns and solutions. If you just want to show up and call me a son of a bitch, well that's fine to if it makes you feel better. Angry mutters, snide emails, and silent protests however will get no one anywhere. All voices will be heard, and hopefully at the end we'll have a better understanding of things and each other. This is a game, if we're not having fun we are doing it wrong. Lets get together and figure out how to do it right. HE Gerold Baron of Bonwicke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
