Real-Time 3D Images Coming to a Blood Vessel Near You
Your doctor will now have access to detailed information about you –– at least of your blood vessels, arteries and heart that is. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology created a device that will allow doctors to capture real-time 3D images from inside the heart, coronary arteries and blood vessels. The microchip device is less invasive than other medical tools, catheter-based and small enough to operate in blood.

With no one yet able to predict the outcome of the developments in the Middle East and North Africa, safe haven buying and a wait-and-see attitude likely to prevail
GEOFF CANDY: Welcome to this edition of Mineweb.com's Gold Weekly podcast and joining me on the line is Carl Firman, he's a metals analyst at the VM Group. Carl there's been a lot of talk about what's been going on in the Middle East and in North Africa - clearly there's a lot of safe haven buying within the precious metals space, both in gold and silver. If we look at the gold market at the moment though, how much of this is safe haven buying and what are we likely to expect going forward?
CARL FIRMAN: The issues in the Middle East and North African regions have actually come to the rescue of the gold market. In January it looked as though the gold price was perhaps on more of a sustained decline, but by the end of January with these geo-political concerns, the gold price has made quite a significant rally upwards, and that is based purely on the fact of concerns of oil supplies that would relate into our food prices, higher inflation and therefore higher risk of further political upheaval - again uncertainty in global growth - higher oil prices will dampen global growth and that increases gold's uses, in ... and stored wealth. That's really what we've been seeing.
GEOFF CANDY: Is there not a concern though potentially from a gold bull point of view that gold should be doing more at the moment given the geo-political concerns and the fact that it isn't, could potentially mean that we're reaching a peak?
CARL FIRMAN: At the moment it's seems to be trading - it's a wait and see attitude and nobody - not I, not anyone - can actually predict what's happening or going to happen in the Middle East region and MENA region, so it's really a wait and see - there'll be spates, days, weeks where the confidence may turn, the gold price may ebb off and then along comes another protest or a further deepening of protest in another jurisdiction and the gold price will rise again. And what you're likely to see is a lot more gold scrap exports from fairly or less volatile countries. I know we've had problems in Tunisia, but there's been a big influx of Libyan refugees into Tunisia and you're likely to see a lot more gold on distress selling from refugees - therefore you're obviously going to see a lot more scrap gold which you could say is actually a bit negative because of increasing gold supply but on the other hand you're seeing a lot more safe haven demand which can offset that. And that's why you're seeing this wait and see attitude at the moment.
GEOFF CANDY: Sure - talking about inflation and clearly higher oil prices - higher food prices are likely to fuel inflation and potentially see an increase in interest rates sooner rather than later...
CARL FIRMAN: Yes, the higher oil prices will impact US growth. Just recently the US Federal Reserve predicted the US GDP would grow as much as 3.9% this year. If the oil price continues to rise or even stays at these high levels at the moment, you'd likely see that prediction come off slightly. And that is actually positive for gold - not so for equities, not so much for industrial metals either because the effect of higher oil prices will also filter into the emerging markets as input costs grow - so that will be difficult. In the short term, as inflationary hedge yes, gold is tenuous - the relationship between gold and the inflation overrule gold use as an inflation hedge but that would put pressure on governments to perhaps raise interest rates, which again is negative for the gold price. So it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next two years. But in the short term, in the next six months or so, you're not going to see interest rates rise, and it's going to be very much interplay between confidence in global growth and fears of uncertainty in this geo-political unrest and the oil prices.
GEOFF CANDY: Where does then gold get placed within that spectrum...
CARL FIRMAN: It was the ultra-hedge - safe haven place - if you have worries you buy gold - if your confidence rises, sell the gold and buy something more risky, buy an equity, buy an industrial metal.
GEOFF CANDY: That being said, if we look at the data that's just come out of the SPDR Gold Trust, it's the fifth consecutive month that we've seen holdings fall within that ETF. Is there a change in the type of ownership that we're seeing on the gold ETF front - is that something that we should be looking at?
CARL FIRMAN: There has been a noticeable change in ETF investment attitudes perhaps, but the bulk of investors have remained loyal, if I can use that phrase. I believe too much really has been read in the outflow - there have been outflows before - there may be some or a small amount of short term investors that have looked to perhaps go for better returns elsewhere. But on the whole, ETFs still are fairly substantial - the 15 that we measure are almost up to 66 million ounces - that is still a lot.
GEOFF CANDY: Going forward, what is the VM Group's view then of what we're likely to see of gold prices over the course of 2011?
CARL FIRMAN: At the beginning of the year - 2011 - most commentators, forecasters, including us, forecast quite substantially higher gold prices - some highs were actually up to around $1,600 - that looked to being dashed in January but the geo-political fears in the North Africa and the Middle East could very well see the gold price challenge those particular new record highs. So this year, on the inflationary concerns that are already in place, there are quantitative easing initiatives in the US and elsewhere, gold is well supported on those - now it's getting support from actual events in the Middle East and I can see gold doing very well. Our average is for $1,457 this year and I can see further price strength over the next quarter and a half.
GEOFF CANDY: Coming back to your initial comments around the fact that gold looked clearly to have lost some momentum in January, what were the reasons behind that, and if the Middle East region stabilises to any great extent, what is then likely to happen?
CARL FIRMAN: January - confidence had returned, sentiment turned, the US economy was expected to grow and grow quite robustly this year, following the injection of basic cash through the Federal Reserve - QE2 programme - that with continued demand from emerging markets gave rise to more confidence in stocks, equities, industrial metals and took away gold's allure as a safe haven that was no longer needed - growth was assured and that was soon dashed at the end of January with Egypt and Libya and so forth. If that does ease - the Middle East does ease and there is more clarity in the Middle East situation, I can't see it myself that this could be drawn over a long period, but if confidence does return, then I could see the gold price easing.

Victoria Beckham's collections have come a long way over the past 10 seasons. From that initial ambition to create the perfect dress, the brand's dizzying growth has now colonised the market in handbags, sunglasses and as we saw today the full gamut of clothing categories. It was the trouser and beautifully cut shorts that took centre stage today at Beckham's mainline presentation. "As soon as I launched VVB, it allowed me to move into separates and push in a different direction. Seperates are doing incredibly well for us which is why I really wanted to focus on the trouser. Trousers are really difficult to get right and I never want to put anything out there until I'm happy it's perfect," Beckham explained backstage.
So what does a VB trouser look like? Cut from menswear fabrics, with front pleats and a low waisted, slouchy silhouette, the designer's take on tailoring is decidedly masculine. "It's that boy meets girl thing. I still love a fitted dress but then there's the other side of me that wants to feel a little but more at ease, a little bit more relaxed. But still sharp," she qualifies.
That ease was the abiding theme of the day with flirty, frill edged tops layered over trousers and matched with curve cut jackets - an aesthetic the designer described as, "a feminine wave." Cute pleated, flippy mini dresses were paired with sheer panelled bombers complete with hand stitched appliqués.
The key motif was the equilateral triangle, heat bonded on to organza tops and repeated on chic totes. As far as palette was concerned Beckham kept things clean and monochrome with pops of claret and fuchsia, grey and powder blue cutting through. Shoes designed once more in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik included polished mule wedges and elastic wrapped heels.
And what of her ridiculously photogenic family? Mr Beckham and little Harper were seated on the FROW cheering her on - how does she manage to juggle it all? "If Im being honest, I do find it very difficult. I think as a working mum you always feel guilty and that's not a great emotion to carry around with you. My family is my priority but I love my job." Has David been standing in more now his work is done on the pitch? "Actually he's busier than ever," Victoria laughs.

I live in the USA. Groats?
Ive read the word Groats?
I read that word way back.
Think Abilene spoke of it.
I thought it was a type o. Meaning oats. No biggy.
And now i no it isnt a type o.
Me scratching head.
Groats are whole oats. Netrition carries them.
I've seen whole oats at Whole Foods, but have been hesitant to try them. I really need to pick some up!
Adi, I'm pretty sure you've posted recipes, but my addled brain is too tired to search. Is there just a very, very basic set of instructions you have that I can play with on my own?
Thanks so much!
Sorry Eieio but groats are not oatmeal. They are whole. Not rolled, not ground, not pulverized. The husk is removed and the whole grain is left. That is why it takes so long to cook them. Maybe they are the original original whole grain.
Keira's mom,
The kind from Bob's has directions for cooking them but it is basically:
1 cup whole oat groats to 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, put a lid on the pan and let sit overnight. They will be done in the morning. Need to cook them the night before.
A normal serving is one cup and this will make 4 cups of cooked groats. Kind of crunchy but not really. I sprinkle cinnamon on mine. You could add a sweetener if desired. I have been eating 1/2 cup with a t of oat fiber and 1/2 t of gluc added so I can stay full longer. Good for DD's.
Thanks. The version I've seen has been in the bulk section with no instructions, but I didn't think to look where the Bob's stuff is. I think I'm going to pick some up. So bring it just to a boil, cover, then turn off the heat and leave over night? Sounds like something I can't screw up! :hyst:
In the morning I measure my portion, reheat in the microwave and put the rest in the frig for another morning. Bulk would sure be cheaper but not so good not having the nutrition info and directions on how to cook.
thanks for those cooking instructions adillenal-I am going to look for those the next time I am in Job Lot they have lots of Bob's products-sounds like a great DD breakfast!!

Can Radio Shack Be Saved? August 6, 2014Posted by Peter Varhol in Education, Software platforms, Technology and Culture.
Tags: Radio Shack, Raspberry Pi
add a comment
Nothing that I can say or do will be the magic potion that rescues Radio Shack from oblivion. I certainly hold no influence over its financial or strategic direction, and of course any solution I might suggest could well be recognized by anyone else as pure hokey.
But I am sad to see the demise of an institution that represented its own brand of counterculture in my youth. That counterculture was embodied in the likes of Popular Science and other periodicals of the day that told us that the sky was the limit on our technological achievements. Radio Shack followed up that exhortation by telling us we could build it ourselves, and in many cases showing us how to do so.
If you walk into a Radio Shack today, you are bombarded with cell phones and subscriber plans that you can get in a dozen different stores within walking distance. The rest is a hodgepodge of electronic components, gadgets, and leftovers from a bygone era. My last purchase at a Radio Shack was a USB turntable, for which I had grandiose notions of using to convert my ancient LP trove into MP3s (the sound quality is terrible).
I wonder if it would be possible for Radio Shack to go back to its roots? What brings that to mind is my recent foray into Raspberry Pi, the small and inexpensive computer board that was developed and sold with the idea of promoting the teaching of computer science in schools. It's probably marginally profitable (the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a non-profit), but for thought leadership it is pure gold.
But what if a small and focused engineering team at Radio Shack had developed something like this instead? And it was a headline promotion in every store? At one time there were people in Radio Shack who understood the technology sold by the company (Heath Kits, anyone?). Even the clerks were more nerds than sales people.
Granted, what I'm describing isn't the enormous retail network that Radio Shack had become at its height. It's not even clear that this could be a for-profit entity, at least in and of itself. But Radio Shack would once again stand for something, at least to get people in the door. It would certainly be no worse than anything else tried by the company over the last twenty years.
And products like this have the potential to excite the imagination of all people. We could build things with our own hands and understand how they work, rather than just take the technological complexity of our daily lives for granted. It may seem like a small thing, but people tend to better control that which they understand. And a little of that could benefit every one of us.
Just What is Silicon Valley Up To These Days? July 9, 2014Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms, Technology and Culture.

add a comment
I think a lot of us, both in and out of that geographical location and state of mind, wonder just the same thing. When we see fledging companies getting a million dollars or more to develop an app that lets you grab a parking space, or pay for an already-made restaurant reservation, something is clearly wrong.
The question is where is the innovation? The press seems to congregate around those startups that exploit an imaginative though trivial niche. And, to be fair, so do the venture capitalists.
Slate (I still don't know why we pay any attention to these folks) claims that innovation is being done by established companies these days, rather than by the startups.
I seriously question large companies trying to encourage and fund true innovation. Google does moon shots; Intel throws billions of dollars at a next generation set of chips that may or may not succeed, true. But that's what established companies do.
But there is little room for true, market-breaking innovation in Google, Intel, HP (especially!), and the rest. Established companies simply have too much invested in their existing products to enable an innovation that threatens a billion-dollar business. These companies did their innovation, and now they are just trying to hang on.
But the Slate article is completely wrong on several accounts. For example:
>> true startup companies like Apple and Microsoft, which lacked those ties to academia and government, innovated only in the consumer sector.
Um, no. That's not how Apple and Microsoft succeeded. Both desperately pursued the business market, Apple with the LaserPrinter, and Microsoft with Office. Microsoft ultimately succeeded more, but at the expense of longer-term viability.
Academia has been irrelevant as an innovator for a long time. Those that see Xerox PARC as a part of academia are seriously mistaken; it was very much industry, without a way to commercialize. Same with AT&T (not the same AT&T today, you should be aware) Bell Labs.
I do believe that innovation occurs in waves. The fact that we see so many "me too" social interaction companies today says that we are in a period of consolidation, not innovation. Still, innovation will happen again, but the companies of today, even the leaders (are you listening, Facebook?) will not be the true innovators ten years from now.
Facebook and Foundations of Psychology Experimentation July 2, 2014Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms, Technology and Culture.
Tags: Facebook, psychology
3 comments
By now most of us are familiar with the study done by Facebook in 2012 in which about 700,000 users were unwittingly subject to more emotionally negative content in order to determine if that content had any influence on their moods (based on the published results, the answer seems to be "no"). This became public when Facebook published an academic paper on the topic, and the principal researcher expressed misgivings in a blog post.
One of the more notorious psychological experiments was conducted by Stanley Milgram, circa 1963. Milgram described it as a learning experiment in which purported subjects (actually confederates) were given fake electrical shocks by the actual subjects as punishment for incorrect answers. Under the urging of the experimenter, many of those administering the electric shock applied the maximum amount of voltage.
I would like to think I know something of psychology, with a couple of university degrees in the subject and my own (very modest) human experiments during that time. Many psychology studies use deception in order to measure aspects of behavior that the subject isn't cognizant of. If subjects were aware of the true purpose of an experiment, that knowledge would almost certainly influence their behaviors, rendering any results useless.
But all subjects in all legitimate psychological studies are aware that they are part of an experiment with a defined beginning and end. That is truly where Facebook fell down. The catch-all Facebook terms of use is clearly inadequate in this regard; no one should expect that they can be an experimental subject at any time.
This means that at any time you are on Facebook, you are subject to being, well, a subject. Will that change how you interact with Facebook or other social media site? Well, maybe, and that could once again render any results useless.
Universities have ethics committees that evaluate prospective studies and determine whether or not they meet published ethics guidelines. While I won't say that such committees make appropriate decisions in all cases, these processes are relatively transparent and well understood. It's difficult to make the same case for any ethics decisions made by Facebook (my snark causes me to add "if any").
Moreover, I have to ask what the purpose of such a study was. In academia (I was also a tenure-track academic for five years), researchers conduct experiments to generally advance the human body of knowledge (yes, and to get published, and obtain tenure, etc.). At Facebook, these studies must out of necessity be viewed with much more of a profit motive. Now there is truly an arresting thought.
Just what the heck is Facebook up to?
Google Glass My Ass June 29, 2014Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms, Technology and Culture.

add a comment
I think the onward march of wearable computers is both desirable and inevitable. And I love the idea of being able to find and research any bit of information, at any time. Almost two decades ago, Bill Gates introduced the concept of "information at your fingertips,", but it was ultimately Google that delivered on the reality.
But, this article in Wall Street Journal describes the use of Google Glass as the essential tourist companion, able to let you research your activities ahead of time, and get information of any type as the need or desire strikes. Imagine being face to face with the Acropolis in Greece, wondering about a particular column design, and spending a minute or two on taking a photo and comparing images online to get a detailed background on the work.
But I think that the bad outweighs the good here. I caught the travel bug later in life, courtesy of my many conference speaking activities. I've been fortunate to mostly avoid the usual tourist hubs in favor of secondary but perhaps more colorful locales. I've done a few guided tours, and paid an extra few bucks once or twice for the self-guided audio tours.
The audio tours, which might be uncharitably compared to a poor man's Google Glass, fall flat. They are mostly boring and difficult to sync up with what you are actually seeing. Guided tours are uneven; if the group is small and homogeneous, they can be fun and informative; large and diverse groups tend to be distracting.
But when you're a tourist, what you really need to do is, well, talk to people. My collaborator Gerie Owen and I had just arrived in Tallinn, Estonia a few weeks ago, and after registering for our conference (Nordic Testing Days) went out to walk around. We happened to stumble up to Toompea Tower, adjacent to the Parliament Building, which just happened to be open to the public (35 people at a time, the old stone stairs were so narrow). While in line, we struck up a conversation with an older gentleman, who told us that he was last there on the day Estonia declared independence from the old Soviet Union. You can't buy such an impromptu conversation for any price.
Experiencing new places involves a combination of seeing things, understanding what you are seeing, and integrating the cultural perspective. Google Glass can play a minor role in a part of that, but it also risks crowding out the actual experiences of being there. We might be too busy engaging searches for similar sites, or nearby restaurants, or just about anything other than where we are and what we are doing at the moment.
I think there is a heck of a lot of value in what Google Glass has to offer society in general. But I also think it will be far too easy to lose sight of the reason we are there.
And sorry about the title to this post; it was just too precious to pass up.
Can Our Shopping Cards Save Our Lives? March 17, 2013Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms, Technology and Culture.

add a comment
I'm a bit of a throwback when it comes to certain applications of technology. In addition to not using Facebook, I don't have supermarket rewards cards, or even use a credit or debit card at the supermarket. My reasoning for the latter is simple – I would prefer not to have the supermarket chain know what I'm eating. I realize that I may be giving up coupons or other special deals by not identifying myself, but I'm willing to accept that tradeoff. It's not a big deal either way, but it's how I prefer to make that particular life decision.
But now there seems to be better reasons to use your supermarket reward card – according to this NBCNews.com article, it may save your life. Really.
The story goes something like this. When there is a known food contamination, health officials can see who bought that particular food, and approach those people individually, rather than send out vague alerts that not everyone sees or hears.
Count me as dubious. This is really a sort of pie-in-the-sky application of Big Data that people can dream up when they picture the potential of the data itself. It would take weeks to reach all of the buyers of a particular contaminated product, even if you could match all of the different systems and databases together somehow. By then, the scare would have run its course.
The reality is that such data is stored in hundreds or thousands of different systems, without any means of pulling them together, let alone using it to query on a specific product across millions of purchases.
And then, of course, there are people like me, who still insist on dealing in cash, and remaining somewhat anonymous. Although they could take my photo in the supermarket, and rather quickly match it up to my other identified photos on the Internet, where I am well known as a speaker and writer.
The idea is intriguing, but it falls into the same tradeoff as many other applications of technology in society today. We can do things to make ourselves safer, but at the cost of providing more information. Some don't seem to have a problem with the latter, but I, in my doddering middle age, do.
My Cell Phone Becomes Useful February 24, 2013Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms.
Tags: cell phone, US Cellular
add a comment
Since cell phones are actually computers these days, this title is slightly misleading. But I am done having to work around the limitations of my old and flawed device. This started a couple of days ago. Actually, it started much longer ago. My old HTC Merge, a US Cellular phone, had a very limited ability to actually make and receive calls at my home, in southern New Hampshire. I generally couldn't make calls from most places in the house, and when I could, it indicated that the phone was roaming.
But my problem was that the phone stopped making or accepting calls at all. Instead, I got a message indicating that the phone was tethered to no network. Almost three hours on technical support over two days with US Cellular led to a belief on their part that it was due to a switch on a nearby Sprint network. I was asked on multiple occasions how long I had been outside of the local coverage area (not at all).
I finally hoped that a new phone would solve my problem. The salesman at the local US Cellular store took one look at my Merge and said that it was a problem with the phone; specifically that the antenna wasn't working properly. I came away half an hour later with a new Motorola Electrify 2, running Ice Cream Sandwich. It works so much better, it's not even funny.
There are a few things that I learned here. First, don't trust technical support, even if they sound like they know what your problem is. Try to confirm independently. Had I not contacted a separate support group through Twitter who offered me different advice, it would not have occurred to me to get a new phone.
Second, if things with your gadget or software don't seem right, they probably aren't. In retrospect, the old phone never worked properly within my local coverage area, and I should have recognized that. I was fooled into thinking that roaming was my normal mode of operation, because it is when I travel, and even when at home I'm at the edge of the local coverage area.
Last, don't accept substandard performance from your gadgets. They are better than that today.
I May Need a Kindle February 15, 2013Posted by Peter Varhol in Publishing, Software platforms.

add a comment
I don't have anything against a Kindle. Amazon is the world's largest bookstore, the Kindles generally get decent reviews, and the company has released its ebook format so that others can adopt it.
The latter, of course, was my biggest concern about Kindle and Amazon, and it's been over a year, and I'm seeing an increasing number of sites (I mean you, Gutenberg Project) making out-of-copyright books available in the format for free download.
I have a Barnes and Noble superstore down the street, and while I don't browse that much anymore, there is a certain comfort in knowing that I still can.
But more and more interesting books are coming out in electronic, rather than paper form. And more and more are coming out on the Kindle first, and ePub later, if at all. I have already bought one book that is only available on a Kindle, and am considering two others.
I suppose I can get a tablet, and use the Kindle reader. For the Kindle books I have bought so far, that's what I do, on my laptop. But I'm unready to commit to a tablet, wanting to see a little more maturity in the market before I make a selection (it probably won't be an iPad; I just can't see buying into the Apple ecosystem).
But I fear that this trend portends larger issues for Nook, and Barnes and Noble in general. Authors are increasingly going to ebook formats only. That's a good thing, because it's increasingly difficult to get a paper book published without going the self-publishing route. There is nothing inherently wrong with self-publishing, but it does mean that authors are also their own marketers and publicists, which most would prefer not to do.
For those who are seeking an inexpensive way of getting interesting work out to a small audience, the ebook is a natural. But there is a cost and time commitment to place an ebook in multiple formats on multiple reading platforms. Some authors prefer supporting a single platform only. Given that Amazon and Kindle have the majority of sales and readers (65 percent? I've heard various figures that give about two-thirds to Amazon, slightly less than 30 percent to Nook, and a smattering elsewhere.), authors want their works to reach that majority.
As more individual authors make the decision to support the most popular platform, more readers will move to that platform. There will always likely be a place for an alternative, but the best and most interesting work will appear on Kindle, and readers will follow them.
Does Blackberry Stand a Chance? January 30, 2013Posted by Peter Varhol in Software platforms, Strategy.

I don't spend a lot of time and money with smartphone technologies. It's simply too easy to go down a black hole in expense and time with gadgets like that. When I finally upgraded to a smartphone, in 2009, I got a Blackberry, mostly because I already had one in my job at the time.
The Blackberry of that time wasn't all positive. When the network went down, for hours or in a couple of cases days, I felt for the loss of instant email. Web browsing was possible, and I did it occasionally, but using the Blackberry button as a pointing device was painful.
When I needed a phone upgrade, about two years ago, my requirement was for a world phone due to my occasional travel in Europe, and my carrier offered two choices – a Blackberry or an HTC Android device. After pondering the question, I decided to go with the Android.
Now we have the Blackberry Z10 (not available in the US until March, and probably longer than that for my second-tier carrier). It sounds very good at a high level, and most analysts and reviews are giving it good marks.
What Blackberry really had in the past was an app problem. I went to one of their developer conferences, circa 2009, and talked to some developers. There were one or more groups within RIM that encouraged developers to build apps for the still-robust platform, and provided tools and interfaces to do so. And when those apps were completed, they were systematically shot down by RIM's legal department. Talk about a bait and switch!
Nevertheless, Blackberry still has a lot going for it today. It has loyal enterprise users and IT departments (my small employer still runs a Blackberry Enterprise Server). The independent network, despite occasional well-publicized outages, is a huge advantage, far better than anything available from anyone else. And it has QNX, the OS vendor RIM acquired to build the Blackberry 10 operating system. QNX is a POSIX-compliant multi-tasking OS that is small, fast, and, well, inherently multi-tasking. You can actually run multiple apps on your phone simultaneously, and do so easily and transparently.
The battle for third (and likely last) place in the smartphone platform wars is between Blackberry and Microsoft Windows Phone. It's difficult to predict these things, because it comes down to so much more than technology. Preston Gralla says the Windows Phone will win entirely because Microsoft has the bigger ecosystem. But Microsoft has had a phone OS years longer than Apple or Google, and look at what that ecosystem has bought it. Nothing.
But in a partially technical but primarily emotional response, I hope Blackberry wins.
And yes, I am currently interviewing for employment at Microsoft. Go figure.

Edwin van der Sar hopes winning the Club World Cup will set United on their way to more glory.
The Dutchman played a major part in the victory, making a string of fine saves when the Reds were down to ten men after Nemanja Vidic's dismissal. It's his second world title - he also won one with Ajax - and he's determined to add to his medal collection again next May.
"It's great to win this tournament again. Hopefully we can go on from here and do well for the rest of the season," he told ManUtd.com.
"It's important that we make sure we prepare ourselves properly for Stoke on Friday and get back into the normal timezone, although I don't think that will be hard because I feel like I haven't even arrived into this one [in Japan]! But it's great to be going into the game on the back of winning a trophy."
Van der Sar felt United fully deserved the victory over LDU Quito after dominating for long periods.
"I didn't have much to do in the first half so you're hoping to go on and get a couple of goals," he said. "They put a bit of pressure on us after we scored, but I had a good eye on the shots and they were nice saves."

'halfway' between Berkeley and Sacramento??
I have a friend who's visiting CA on a business trip and is 'stuck' in Sacramento. I live in Berkeley. We're trying to see if we can arrange to meet up for dinner somewhere roughly in between, on Sunday. I'm not at all familiar with ANY place to eat North of Albany, really! If my friend drives most of the way down here, I'd at least like to shorten his driving time a little. Can anyone recommend a decent place to eat, near either side of the Carquinez bridge, say? Or just as far from Berkeley going North as you can go and still get decent food :)
I'm hoping for somewhere definitely NOT a chain restaurant, and preferably not in a mall (stop laughing!). A more-elegant-than-storefront setting would be nice. Cuisines : "Cal-med", Italian, good seafood, Thai maybe... would be good choices for us. Steakhouses or Mexican - no not our thing.
I know it's a bit of a tall order, but, any advice?
Thanks so much!
Though this is a long-ago report, The Old Post Office in Vacaville might fit the bill.
I do keep hearing good things about them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... it is a sort of local chain and not amazing, but you might consider Dead Fish in Rodeo with a GREAT view and at the foot of the bridge. Skip the dead fish, stick to the mussels and I hear the prime rib is decent.
If you want, I'll dredge up a restaurant in Vallejo that is on the water that serves 'continental cuisine'. I wasn't amazed on my one visit, but they just opened at the time ... though I would doubt it got any better.
Sort of more in the Berkeley area ... so it is a push for your friend ... but Pear Street Bistro in Pinole is as good as most Berkeley restaurants and better than many.
re: rworange
I had an excellent lunch at The Old Post Office; however last I saw the are closed on Sunday. I can recommend Merchant & Main, they do Sunday brunch, very good.Address is 349 Merchant Street (surprise-- at the corner of Main)
Have you tried looking for places in Benicia? I'm not all that famliar with the town, but at least it's not a mall and you're less likely to find chains. If your friend coming down from Sac. cuts over to the Benicia road--I think it's around Fairfield--the drive is faster and prettier than staying on 5.
re: ML8000
Eh ... I'd say that for fish itself, Nantucket has the edge. It is a divy sort of place and decent, sort of, if not amazing. Do NOT order the cioppino. Different view closer to the water.
Benicia .... yeah ... do a search ... or post a fresh query. It is nice enough though I haven't found greatness there food-wise yet ... goodness, but not greatness.The fact that I would have to check my notes to see what I ate there might say something.
Vacaville's the halfway point.
There are some old reports on the California board, even though Vacaville's in Solano County and thus belongs on this board.
While you're there you might check out Pure Grain German Bakery. http://www.puregrainbakery.com
re: Robert Lauriston
Yeah, but Murillo's is Mexican which the OP wasn't interested in. Haven't eaten there ... just finally stepped inside ... ok-ish, but didn't feel compelled to eat there. However an actual review beats my non-eating impression .. still ... Mexican.
re: rworange
Oops, I was skimming and missed the "no not our thing."
re: rworange
Just as well...Murillo's is only just okay. Now don't have a heart attack, but I read that a lot of people rave about the meatballs at Mary's Pizza Shack - there is one of those along 80 somewhere around Dixon/Vacaville - closer to the Sacto side of the locations.
re: dinnerout
There are branches of Mary's Pizza Shack in Dixon, Fairfield, and Vacaville, but they're in malls and not more elegant than a storefront.
re: Robert Lauriston
Understood - I've been to the one in Sonoma many times as it is a favorite of my very picky goddaughter. My post wasn't really intended as an endorsement, merely tossing out a name as I am clueless on where else one could go between Berkeley & Sacto. I'm happy so many others had good suggestions.
depending on where he is in Greater Sacramento, Napa's not really half-way, but close enough, about 55 miles from Sacto and 40 miles from berkeley. It's closer than driving to Vallejo or Benicia from Sacto. That's where I meet my friend who lives in Davis. You have many, many options in Downtown Napa and he'll get a chance to see one of our prime tourist destinations.
re: Melanie Wong
Great suggestion. You can eat about as well in Napa as in Berkeley or SF.
re: Melanie Wong
I'd second what Melanie says - "A more-elegant-than-storefront setting" and "no chains" throws a lot of Solano County restaurants out in general, sad to say.
re: josquared
Thanks, you guys are great! :) Vacaville I already had pegged as a likely 'um.. no'... But, Benecia I'd not even thought of. And Napa! An excellent idea, surprised I didn't think of that. Sounds like our best bet; I don't think he's ever been there.
I'm surprised no one here has mentioned Suisun or Fairfield. While Vacaville is technically the half-way point, a few miles west (maybe 5 or 10?) produces a handful of really decent eating establishments that I think are far superior to what is found in Vacaville.
Immediately to mind is Coyote Sam's BBQ (amazing), Yo Sushi, Bab's Delta Diner, Mankas Corner, Omodaka Japanese, etc...
re: Carrie 218
Carrie, we haven't had a report on Bab's Delta Diner for a while, please tell us about it.
re: Melanie Wong
Well, the whole thing about Bab's is that they close at 2:00 and are a huge breakfast/lunch spot. I've actually only eaten their breakfast and adore their scrambles.
My sister also recommends the Greek restaurant that is in the same area and advised that the only local high-end restaurant (695 Main) is being taken over by the guys who own Vacaville's Old Post Office, so she's encouraged and excited that something really good will go into that space.
re: Carrie 218
Where is Bab's Delta Dinner?
re: Stitcher
Babs Delta Diner is Suisun City, which is next to Fairfield.
Re the Delta, I know someone who lives in Rio Vista (Solano County) and visits Berkeley regularly, and she doesn't have much good to say about the food in RV.
The moderators moved the Locke / Walnut Grove (Sacramento County) posts off to the California board:
re: michele_corum
Good point, better call to confirm anyplace you want to go is open.
We drive Sac to bay area a lot and like to stop at the Dead Fish in Crockett--excellent fish!
Pear Street Bistro in Pinole is north of Albany, but not halfway in between.. If you ever get the chance, check it out.

Increased containment of the Eightmile Fire in eastern Fremont County is expected by Sunday evening, despite Red Flag fire conditions, according to incident commander Dan Dallas. Officially, the fire burning near Phantom Canyon Road between Penrose and Canon City remains 10 percent contained and around 500 acres, but Dallas said at a media briefing Sunday afternoon that firefighters are making good progress on the fire and "much more" containment should be expected by Sunday evening.
230 fire personnel are battling the fire, which was sparked by lightning on June 23. No structures are immediately threatened, however 16 residences about a mile from the fire in the Red Rocks subdivision remain on pre-evacuation notification status, meaning they should be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice if fire behavior should suddenly change.
The fire is named for nearby Eightmile Creek.

I would like to buy the new Monkey Island game, but I can't find any info on your pages about delivery.
It says on the page that you get one episode pr month, will this be sent to you by post or will you be able to download it from the webpage?
The reason I'm askin is because the Norwegian government will tax me if I order something over 200 NOK (20GBP)
If the game is sent out by post and monthly I could get taxed for each package since the price is over the limit.
While if I could download the game there would be no problem what so ever.
I gladly pay the price for the game, but I would like some more info about delivery options before I pay.

Great NJ Beer Stores
- Jim Leff Jul 5, 2011 10:09 AM
There are some really great beer stores in NJ, and I used to keep a list. Problem is I could drive near any of them on a highway and not realize which town I'm in; I'm not great on Jersey geographics. So I'm trying to figure our which are accessible when driving thru the state.
Two highly accessible beer stores I know about:
Fort Lee: Linwood Wine 102 Linwood Plaza....super convenient to GW Bridge, and
Hoboken: Sparrow Wine and Liquor 126 Washington St.....super convenient to Holland Tunnel
So......are there any really great beer stores within a couple miles of the Turnpike, or 80, or 17? Not "good" beer stores, I mean great ones?
And: are any of these (from my old list) still open, still good, and/or near Turnpike, 80, or 17?
Manasquan: Spirit of '76 Wines & Liquors 119 Taylor Ave 732-223-3180 ·
Boonton: Liquor Outlet Wine Cellars 289 Myrtle Avenue (866) 454-7688
Mahwah: Mahwah Wine and Liquors 340 Ridge Road 201-327-3600
Wayne: Gary's Wine & Marketplace 1308 Route 23 North (973) 633-3900 great beer store
morris plains: bottle king beer 201-285-1226 34 miles
South Plainfield:Oak Tree Discount Wine and Spirits 902 Oaktree Ave. 908-561-0051 great beer store, they have limfjords porter
North Plainfield: sell rite beer n. plainfield 908-756-0400 31 miles
Clinton: clinton beer wine and spirtis in clinton 908-735-9655 59 miles
Ramsey: ramsey beer 47 W Main St 201-327-0353 28 miles
Total Wine in River Edge is pretty good with a large selection of beer and MicroBrews. It's 5-10 minutes from Fort Lee and the GWB with easy access off and back onto Route 4
Shop Rite Liquors in Caldwell. Nick and his staff have a wide variety and are extremely knowledgeable.
Some good ones there including Oak Tree and Ramsey. Have only been to so many myself but Ill throw in:
Martin's Liquors (State Highway 38 & Marter Ave, Mt Laurel, NJ (856) 235-2273) which you could hit with a softball from the Turnpike. Has a decent selection (and a Dunkin Doughnuts has replaced the deli...).
Theres also a Canal's in Marlton that has a selection worth checking out. (www.joecanals.com/marlton.php)
Hops & Grapes is a nice shop in the Total Beverage style of liquor stores. (810 North Delsea Drive, Glassboro, NJ (856) 582 - 8110) although it is 7 or 8 miles off the Turnpike.
Super Savor in Pennington (used to be Circle Liquor) is a bit out of the way but is infamous for having some crazy beers available. Not sure how they get them. As in like the full line of Samichlaus going back 15 years. Even was rumored to have sold Westy 8's on more than one occasion. And their regular every day selection is pretty solid too.
Spirit of '76 in Manasquan is close to 40 minutes from the Turnpike and even further from Routes 17 and 80. More importantly, the beer selection, though having improved in the past 2 years, is short of great. A better beer store in the area is Jonathon Ron Liquors, 629 Higgins Avenue, in Brielle.
Funny, we just went to Oak Tree for the first time this weekend. They did have a good selection though it was a bit picked over due to the holiday. But I'm looking forward to going back once they have a chance to restock.
Joe Canal's in Woodbridge/Iselin not only has a good beer selection but it also offers growlers. The growlers are usually of beers that you wouldn't find at your normal beer stores.
Thanks all.
I just want to restate that I'm looking for GREAT beer stores, not "pretty good" ones.
Just to bring you up to date on Linwood Wine and Liquor in Fort Lee- for the past two years (due to the last ownership change) the beer section has steadily improved. Personally I have no need to go anywhere else anymore; it always seems to suit my ever changing moods.
The newest releases are there right when expected, you can usually find what is being 'talked about', the selection of bombers/750s is well thought-out (especially in terms of Belgian beers), in general all of the bases are covered and then some. From time to time they will even get limited releases (though you have to ask - they're not stocked on the shelf). And they don't let the stock sit around too long: if it doesn't sell they move it out of the store and replace it with something else. Tom and Jake are doing a great job, much better than the last iterations of the store.
Considering the scene in NJ I think one could make the argument that they are a great store. You won't be able to find 'everything' there, but I don't know of many places around here that you could say that about.
FWIW- there has been a lot of scuttlebutt about a Super Buy Rite in Jersey City that does offer a huge selection. I haven't been there personally, but it might be worth looking into.
re: TongoRad
They may be on an upswing, but they're on a longer-view downswing. It was much better under the prior owner, Carl Russo. I agree that it's still pretty good, but:
" I don't know of many places around here that you could say that about."
But this thread isn't about the "many", it's about the few worth traveling out of the way to.
Another mention for Jonathon Ron Liquors, 629 Higgins Avenue, in Brielle which has one of the best craft beer selection in the shore area. Also try any Wegmans that sells wine and beer for a decent selection of craft beers.
Well, I have this argument all the time on what makes a "great" beer store since it seems for most people it's simply a big selection and, maybe thrown in is the "cool beer guy".
I don't know, any idiot can just continue to order every beer the distributors are carrying but if I pick up a 22 oz. bottle of Anchor Bock and see it's from 2009 or find some cold Pikeland Pils in the cooler only to see that instead of the "Best Before" date of two months ago that's on the warm shelf, the cold six was "Best Before" last December, well, I'm not so impressed by the huge selection. Many of these places are "beer museums", with any recommendations having to be qualified with "...but watch the date codes and don't buy anything that's not dated...".
I don't know, I see a lot of these "big selection" stores with absolutely no concept of freshness, rotation or how to store beer properly. It's sad that often the nice dark beer coolers are filled with cases of cans of Old Milwaukee and Bud Light but the much more fragile, slower moving and expensive "craft beer" sits at room temp under bright florescent lights- sometimes even near the windows. The "please keep refrigerated" notices on many cases are routinely ignored.
As for the "Beer guy" - while "talking beer" with the help is always nice, the "knowledge" I usually want from a store is not esoterica like hop rates or yeast strains but just "Can you get XYZ Lager?" or "When is ABC Ale suppose to be released?" And those questions usually meet with a blank stare.
In addition, correct prices on the shelves (since most NJ stores read bar codes for pricing) and discounted case prices (not 4 X the 6 pack price) are also important factors for me.
re: JessKidden
You raise very pertinent points. The production and distribution of craft beers has outpaced the knowledge and ability of the vast majority of retailers to properly deliver the products to consumers. I expect that the situation will not be remedied soon as these same sellers still have trouble doing the same things with wine after decades of experience. (I've seen liquor stores with storage areas for beer and wine devoid of any climate control.)
re: willwork4beer
This one may not meet the location criteria, it's a suggestion for the rest of us that have a need right at Exit 88 off the Parkway, it's across from Home Depot.
Wine Academy has a great Craft beer selection http://www.wineacademysuperstores.com/
Don't let the name fool you. Even though it has a vast wine selection, it also has one of the best Craft beer selections I've seen with more than fair prices.
Shoppers Vineyeard in Clifton on Bloomfield Ave has a great selection of beer including a few that I've not seen elsewhere.
If you are driving thourgh Delaware into Maryland, make sure to stop at:
State Line Liquors
1610 Elkton Road
Elkton, Maryland 21921
(800) 446-9463
Here are some reviews from the folks at Beer Advocate:
In 2010, Rate Beer rated State Line Liquours 18th in the World as far as retail outlets go:
There are a couple of stores in South Plainfield, NJ and Poughkeepsie, NY that finished higher on that list and would probably be closer to you.
Good luck!!
re: genevapics
Yeah, that's a dandy destination. Not far from 95, either!
While Sparrow in Hoboken has recently improved their beer selection, I would definitely say that the new Super Buy-Rite in Jersey City (even closer to the Holland Tunnel than Sparrow) has a much larger and more complete craft beer selection
I have yet to go yet, but have only heard good things about it: WineWorks in Marlton. It got an A based on 10 ratings on beer advocate. I've driven by this store many times, and it definitely has the space to be a good store. I will probably be heading there sometime this week, I'll report back on how it is.
re: tzanghi
WineWorks turns out to be fantastic. Although it's selection of wine is astronomically larger, the craft beer selection is pretty good. Large selection of single bottles, pretty good selection of six packs and a huge aisle of bombers. Also has all the usual domestics and a large cold section of bottles, bombers, and packs. Prices are just ok, not good not too bad.
re: Gastronomic
I second the Rutherford Wine Shoppe. They are very helpful, and their selection is impressive.
re: glutton
And what is really great about Phillips is they have dedicated a room for aged beers... its in the back off of where the American Zins/Chardonnay/ are. Do not know many wine stores, especially one that is as small as Phillips have dedicated that much room to specialty one off beers and stored them in the right way.

Murderer rushed to hospital on day of parole hearing
Breest, 74, formerly of Hooksett, has spent about 41 years behind bars for the brutal murder of 18-year-old Susan Randall of Manchester, on Feb. 28, 1971. Her body was found in the Merrimack River in Concord, after Breest tossed it off a bridge.
Breest has been detained at the Massachusetts Correctional Institute-Shirley since 1995.
In 1973, he was sentenced to 40 years to life for first-degree murder. At the time, there was no sentence of life without parole for that murder charge, according to state corrections spokesman Jeffrey Lyons. Breest reached his minimum sentence years ago, and in 1996 was granted parole. He was never freed because he did not meet conditions set for his release, which included he admit he killed Randall and complete a sexual offender program.
Sally Hembree and Paula Hembree, both of Manchester, and Randall's sister and niece, respectively, arrived promptly at the prison to testify at the parole hearing. Breest had notified officials earlier that he was not going to attend, but the two women planned to be there anyway to let the board members know they believed he should never be released.
"I didn't sleep all night," said Sally Hembree who feared the State Adult Parole Board would grant Breest parole, just as it did in 1996.
Prison is where Breest belongs, she said, although she thinks Breest should have been put to death years ago.
Instead of admitting what he did, Sally Hembree said Breest has chosen to continually go to court, filing appeals and over the past few years winning approval for DNA testing of blood found under Randall's fingernails. DNA testing didn't exist in the 1970s, and Breest maintained the test results would exonerate him.
That didn't happen. Two DNA tests were done, results of which were inconclusive, his lawyer said previously, while prosecutors said the DNA found was consistent with Breest's. Sally Hembree said the second DNA test was 99 percent conclusive for Breest. Breest, however, still has not given up and is asking the court to approve a third DNA test.
Sally Hembree is angry that the Innocence Project of Massachusetts continues to seek and pay for the DNA testing.
"It's given us 40 years of sorrow," said Sally Hembree of the continuous legal proceedings. "My mother is gone. My father is gone. My husband, who ID'd the body, is gone. This is what we have left."
Paula Hembree asked Andrea Goldberg, executive assistant to the State Adult Parole Board, to ensure if Breest is freed that a condition be imposed that he not contact any of Randall's family members.
Goldberg said a man who is a convicted murderer and sexual offender when paroled has to meet stringent conditions and would be under intensive supervised release.
The Hembrees believe that when Breest is paroled it will be to Shirley, Mass., where his wife resides.
Goldberg said the Bay State would have to agree to accept Breest ,who would then have to comply with conditions,more stringent than in New Hampshire for sexual offenders.

Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant are the NBA's new torchbearers
BY KYLE KOSTER | Commentary May 17, 2011 12:16PM
A new era is dawning in the NBA, and the two faces at the forefront of this generational transformation are Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant. | AP
Updated: May 17, 2011 1:59PM
Ignore that madman when he raves that he has seen the future, because when it comes to the NBA, so have you. In fact, it's already here.
One need look no further than the conference finals for real, tangible proof. Derrick Rose, once Chicago's special little secret, is now an A-List star and currently the league's most valuable player. He's got the trophy to prove it.
Then there's Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City. All he's done in his four pro years is win two scoring championships, along the way making every fan reconsider the heights to which a sharpshooting big man can soar.
This tandem of 22-year-olds have skipped the growing pains associated with the Association and dominated from Day One. And one of them could walk away with a world championship next month, finishing the fast-tracked coming-of-age journey at breakneck speed.
Don't look now, but maybe — just maybe — we're witnessing a passing of the torch unlike one we've ever seen before. One in which the current torchbearers are not players in the twilight of their career, but rather not far removed from its peak.
Over the past half decade, the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have been the most successful and most-feared teams in the NBA. Unceremonious exits from both squads in this year's playoffs, as well as the ticking of Father Time, signify a difficult road ahead.
The Celtics' Big Three, collectively, is 102 years old. Their future is tied to Rajon Rondo — a nice player, but one who pales in comparison to both Durant and Rose. The Heat didn't oust the great Celtics, they ousted the ghost of the great Celtics.
The Lakers will have to replace a coach who reached the NBA Finals in 65 percent of his seasons. Kobe Bryant is still one of the most dynamic players in the world, but with each passing year, the wear and tear of his tenure accumulates. In addition to his 15 regular seasons, Bryant has amassed 208 postseason games. That's another 2.53 seasons of high-intensity, do-or-die basketball. He can't do it forever.
Since he broke into the national spotlight as a teenager, LeBron James has been pegged as the heir apparent to Michael Jordan. Well, outside of Chicago at least. Such talk locally will land you in trouble. Now 26, James has yet to clear that final hurdle of hoisting the championship trophy. Then there's the larger issue of his role with the Heat.
He went to Miami to join Dwyane Wade's team, to be a second fiddle. He took an irreparable hit in the public-perception forum. Fair or not, he won't ever be accepted as the face of the NBA. Look, he very well could win multiple championships, but that is a different animal from being the man.
Rose and Durant have proven to be be capable of having such weight placed on their shoulders. It's impossible to not be impressed with the remarkable poise each possesses. Think of what you were doing at 22. Now think of how they're handling all that's thrown at them.
Of course, talent helps. And neither lacks any of that.
But they're doing it right now, when it matters most. Durant leads all postseason scorers, averaging 28.9 per contest. Rose sits at 28.8.
Also telling is the businessman-like way they go about their duties. Each is calm, cool and collected, acting like they've been there and done that when, in reality, it's uncharted territory. They let their games do the talking. There is little — if any — youthful brashness. You see that in Rose's matter-of-fact answers. You see the same in Durant's.
"Coach Thibs, you see how he focuses and prepares for the game, it makes you want to do the same," Rose said after Game 1. "Stay in the office after the game. Not have a life."
Then he gave this even more telling admission when asked if he wants to have a life during the playoffs.
"Not right now. I have to sacrifice a lot of things."
Exactly what you want to hear from a player.
There's no guarantee the success will always be there. Rose's high-flying style leaves him to take a lot of punishment. There are questions about Durant's lack of bulk. Hopefully, for fans and the good of the game, they can keep it up.
The argument isn't that Bryant and James aren't great players. They are. The argument is that the league is a fickle beast and there is no set timetable from when one era begins and the other ends.
What we can say for sure is that Rose and Durant aren't the faces of the future. They're the faces of right now.
And those faces have plenty of reasons to smile.

why are you calling run after you setIsRunning(true)?(now your in a loop inside the input function)
if that's not the problem, idk because you barely posted any real code.
what we need to see is:
Initialization code
--Main game loop(is this controlled by "isRunning", because if so, setting it to false should break the loop.)
---Where you check for input(is this inside your main loop, which is controlled by the "isRunning" flag?)
because my approach was to pause the game. The only way to do it is to break out of the gameLoop. If I unpause the game, I need to call the run method which execute the game loop to keep things drawing again. the run method needs to be called by the programmer. the key events are in the keyPressed method of the Game class since the Game class will be responsible for controlling the pause/unpause nature of the game.
Are you sure you saw my code?
think about what it means to start an infinite loop inside your input logic thread. and as far as i can see, that infinite loop does not check your input.
so yes, we need to see more code(unless my above assumption is correct, and that is why you can only pause/unpause once)
insead of doing:
void run(void){ while(isRunning){ } }
void run(void){ while(!isDone){ if(isRunning){ //game logic here } }
