Along with the Nikon D4s announcement, Nikon yesterday also announced a long-awaited upgrade to Capture NX2. Called Capture NX-D, this Nikon RAW converter is being offered for download while in beta form. Public beta testing is something Nikon has been reluctant do to in the past, and it's something I applaud them for. I downloaded the beta of Capture NX-D to see what it would do. Unfortunately, it is clear to me that this new product is more notable for what it lacks than what it offers. Continue reading

The Sensor Plane Photography Podcast: Episode #1
Welcome to my latest project, a video blog called The Sensor Plane. In digital photography, the sensor plane is where light rays interact with technology. Starting today, I'll be hosting a regular segment where I'll talk about the technical and creative sides of digital photography.
In today's episode, I'll start off with a review of the two Nikon 70-200mm zoom lenses:
Here my thoughts on the practical aspects of these lenses in the video episode below. If you have suggestions for future topics, please feel free to leave a comment!

Understanding the Camera Calibration Module in Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom relies on the Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) rendering engine to convert camera RAW images. The default color and contrast settings are something called "Adobe Standard" which look different than what you might see on your camera LCD when reviewing your images. However, Adobe offers alternate Camera Profiles which emulate the as-shot settings from many Nikon and Canon DSLRs. You'll find these settings in the Camera Calibration panel in Lightroom and ACR.
In this example, I have placed an image of a Colorchecker card on the screen so you can see how the colors and contrast change between camera profiles. For this image, I get options based on the Nikon D800 that I used to capture the RAW file. Note that you can only make profile changes to RAW files. If you see "Embedded" under the profile option, it's because you're looking at a TIFF or JPEG image in Lightroom. Choose from any of the profile presets in the drop-down menu to change the baseline color and tone curve of your image, and you can fine-tune it with the sliders if you wish.
If you have a ColorChecker card, you can use the ColorChecker software from X-rite to create a custom profile for your camera. Each custom profile is specific to the camera you use to create the image. You can further tweak those profiles using Adobe's DNG Profile Editor software (free download from www.adobe.com).
Once you have a profile that you like, you might wish to change your defaults to always use that profile going forward. If you do change your default settings, note that ANYTHING you modified in the Develop section gets applied, so keep your adjustments minimal (Calibration, sharpening, lens corrections) so that you don't over-process your images. Defaults are only applied automatically when you import new images into Lightroom. Existing images will not be changed; you'll have to adjust them manually or use the "Reset Settings" option in Lightroom to do so.
South Texas Birding Workshop Report 2013
I brought a group of four photographers to south Texas, where we had the opportunity to photograph birds and wildlife from private blinds. In wildlife photography, the challenges are numerous. For birds, especially, it is extremely difficult to get close enough to fill the frame, even with a super-telephoto lens. Here are the main challenges with wildlife/bird photography: Continue reading

Stephanie Traweek Principal, Stephenville High School
This will be our 6th year and with it, come some changes. A couple of years ago, Dr. Troy Robertson (Tarleton State University) and I spoke about bringing in a power-house conductor that could invest time towards the work at TSU as well as benefit all of us involved in FMO. It took a year in advance to secure him, but we are so honored to have Dr. Andre' Thomas from Florida State University coming! He is respected all over the world for his work as an educator, composer and conductor. He will be a blessing and a challenging conductor for us. I am excited to know someone of this caliber is coming to Stephenville! We will be expecting more singers this year because of his coming so mark your calendar for February 20-21, 2015. You will not want to miss it!!

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler: Expecting a Boy!by Free Britney at . Comments
Kristin Cavallari is about to be outnumbered at home.
The pregnant reality star, 25, and fiance Jay Cutler, 29, are expecting a baby boy, revealed his Chicago Bears teammate Tuesday on WSCR-AM 670's.
"New toys, a baby on the way ... he's having a boy ... I'm really excited for Jay," Bennett, 25, said of his fellow NFL star. "It's a great time [for them]."
The first-time parents have yet to confirm their baby's gender publicly, but now the cat's out of the bag. Looks like a little QB on the way for KC.
The couple, who briefly ended their engagement before reconciling in 2011, have put wedding plans on hold until the arrival of their baby boy.
Congratulations to the couple on their impending arrival! In other celebrity baby news, Jessica Simpson gave birth to a baby girl yesterday!
@Bebe Don't say "we" when you really mean "you". Because some of us actually love naked pregnant bodies, sexually and non-sexually. If we didn't, there wouldn't be so many people taking pictures of themselves naked. I guess some of us aren't 5 years old and realize nudity is okay and if you have a problem with it you can look the other way. So really, there's no "we" about it. ;D.
@estreilla talk english
She note gone sat bitsh anymore to her baby boy but she looks gorgeous
Her face looks so weird in this picture but at least it's a clothed picture! Pregnancy is beautiful but we don't all have to see your pregnant celebrity (and non) bodies

The Report by Abhishek Purohit
December 23, 2012
New Zealand 169 for 2 (Guptill 101*) beat South Africa 165 for 5 (Du Plessis 63, Davids 55) by eight wickets (D/L method)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Related Links
Players/Officials: Martin Guptill
Series/Tournaments: New Zealand tour of South Africa
Teams: New Zealand | South Africa
Captain, dethroned unceremoniously, pulls out of a big tour. Inexperienced side, with four debutants, gets rolled over in the opening game. You would have expected New Zealand to collectively scrap after that, you would have expected them to compete. What you wouldn't have expected was a solo riposte so dominating and so explosive that it turned New Zealand around from an eight-wicket loss to an eight-wicket win within a couple of days.
In hindsight, it probably helped that Martin Guptill was not scarred by the thrashing New Zealand received in Durban, having missed that game with a stomach bug. He came out a fiercely determined man in East London. Nothing could stop him tonight. He had the power, he had the timing, he had the focus. And even fate was on his side. A couple of catches went down, by Robin Peterson, with Guptill on 62 and 89, a couple of close leg-before shouts were not given, he was caught off a no-ball. And Guptill continued clubbing six after six.
He needed to find the boundary off the last ball of the game, to take his side to victory. He did, swatting Rory Kleinveldt to the cover rope. And also moved from 97 to 101, becoming only the second man after Richard Levi to make a hundred while chasing in a Twenty20 international.
Guptill's assault was so thorough it needed his partners to just hang around at the other end, which they managed to do. He had partnerships of 76 and 73 with Rob Nicol and Brendon McCullum, their contributions being 25 and 17. New Zealand were handed an asking-rate of just under nine, and throughout the innings, Guptill never allowed it to go over 11 - it touched that mark only for the final over. Whenever it did threaten to escalate, a Guptill six was always around the corner.
Smart stats
Guptill began by cutting and punching Kleinveldt for successive boundaries. Soon, he was launching Morne Morkel for six and thumping the spinners, who found it difficult with some dew around. He was particularly severe on the debutant left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, who he carted for three sixes and two fours. Guptill's strategy was simple - he mostly slog-swept and swung down the ground, adjusting to sweep or hitting straighter when needed to. He was able to sustain that hitting for 69 deliveries, with the final stroke bringing an exultant release of emotion.
South Africa had posted what seemed to be a challenging score. Henry Davids and Faf du Plessis reached half-centuries on either side of a 52-minute interruption due to one of the floodlight towers conking off. The break reduced the match to 19 overs per side, and raised the target for New Zealand to 169.
McCullum had chosen to bat in Durban, and New Zealand had self-destructed their way to 86. This time he put South Africa in, but to New Zealand's dismay, the hosts' batting followed the same pattern it had in Durban. Levi had his eleventh failure in 13 international innings, after being dropped on 2, but Davids and du Plessis were hardly bothered.
Davids, dropped by James Franklin on 36, dominated the 68-run partnership with du Plessis, who did the same during his 79-run stand with David Miller. Davids may be turning 33 next month, but in his second international game, he displayed an uncomplicated, fresh approach as he looked to hit mostly down the ground.
Nathan McCullum was the only bowler to tie the batsmen own as he flighted the ball and also varied his pace greatly. It took a spectacular catch to remove Davids as Jimmy Neesham sprinted back several yards from mid-off, dived full-length, caught the lofted ball and managed to stop himself before the rope to complete the stunner.
Du Plessis took over now, slamming boundaries through his favoured extra cover. Miller, too, began powering the fast bowlers for boundaries over extra cover, before the South African charge was halted by the floodlight failure in the 17th over. There had been issues with one of the towers in the previous international match played at the venue as well, in January this year against Sri Lanka. Both du Plessis and Miller carried on in the same vein on resumption, before Guptill took over for the night.

Tiger Pass, Louisiana
October 23, 1996
NTSB Number PAR-98/01/SUM
NTIS Number PB98-916501
About 4:50 a.m. on October 23, 1996, in Tiger Pass, Louisiana, the crew of a Bean Horizon Corporation dredge dropped a stern spud into the bottom of the channel in preparation for dredging operations. The spud struck and ruptured a 12-inch-diameter submerged natural gas steel pipeline owned by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company. The pressurized natural gas released from the pipeline enveloped the stern of the dredge and an accompanying tug, then ignited, destroying the dredge and the tug. No fatalities resulted from the accident.
The safety issues discussed in this report are the adequacy of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company's practices and procedures for locating, marking, and maintaining markers for gas transmission pipelines through navigable waterways; the lack of Federal requirements for placing and maintaining permanent markers where gas and hazardous liquid pipelines cross navigable waterways; and the adequacy of Bean Horizon Corporation's vessel emergency and crew accounting procedures.
As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued safety recommendations to the Research and Special Programs Administration, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, Bean Horizon Corporation, the Western Dredging Association, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of American, and the American Petroleum Institute.

Insights Into the 'Wild West' of Social Media
Managing the social media presence of a large travel company is a young field rife with experimentation and risk-taking.Travel Market Report spoke with two experts whose firms are out in front in social media. We wanted to learn more about what larger travel organizations are doing with social media and hear their thoughts on how smaller agents can take advantage of opportunities in the space (see sidebar).Gregg Tilston, global social media leader for Flight Centre, spent years working for startups and now manages a worldwide team of 11 full-time social media and marketing executives from his office in Toronto.Andrew Hickey, social media manager for the adventure tour company G Adventures, got his start as a travel blogger and has managed G Adventures' social media presence for more than two years.As an organization, how do you approach social media?Tilston: I see social media as a new avenue, so we try a lot of things. Some of them work, and most aren't so successful. My personal rule is to try 1,000 things and keep the 300 that work. Social commerce in the travel space is a challenge, so we need to find ways to increase our productivity and exposure. Hickey: When you're hired at G Adventures, they ask you to join Twitter and do a Twitter 101 class where they show you how to tweet and who to follow. There are over 1,200 employees at G Adventures, and every day I talk to our tour leaders and other employees about social media. Twitter is definitely most popular in-house and our Twitter feed is not heavily travel. We tend to be more topical, cultural. How important are Facebook and Twitter to your social media operations?Tilston: I've seen Facebook explode, in terms of size of user content. An advantage in the travel space on Facebook is that people love to share their Facebook stories. If we can increase engagement as a business, we get people in our stream more and more. If people talk to you about what you're putting out, the opportunity is massive. What about blogging?Hickey: Don't discount blogs. Blogs get boring after a while, so when I gave ours more of a voice our engagement went up on Twitter and Facebook. We got way more re-tweets with sarcastic comments, 'did you know' tidbits and fun facts. They get people talking much more than the typical 'Top 10 Beaches."What are the biggest challenges you face in reaching potential customers?Tilston: The biggest challenge is that there are so many channels out there you can drive yourself squirrely going in a thousand directions. So figure out which channels your customers are on and really focus on those channels. If that is Facebook, use Facebook and work at that. Things change so quickly in social media. How have those changes affected how you operate?Hickey: Today you're being held accountable for a return on investment, since more money is getting spent on social media. Now it's more seeing what we can get with our good content. While having a million Facebook fans is cool, you have to make sure they're the people you want. We work with Salesforce and Wildfire [to generate leads] as well. We now promote on Twitter, and we couldn't do that four years ago.Tilston: People now realize customer service [via social media] is a huge opportunity, but we see social media as more for inspiring people. I would say now social media is more of the Wild West than four years ago; we've come to a point where we know what works and what doesn't, but things are always changing rapidly.
My personal rule is to try 1,000 things and keep the 300 that work.Gregg Tilston, Flight Centre
While many agents are active on Facebook, Twitter might be more rewarding, according to Andrew Hickey, social media manager for the G Adventures."Agents would have more fun on Twitter. Facebook is still great, but Twitter has more interaction. Agents can be involved on Twitter chats, #travelagents and other places; you can talk to travel agents much more easily," Hickey said. "Twitter is a great place to create leads and develop an audience," he said.Facebook is more suited for brands, said Hickey, who finds he rarely interacts directly with people on Facebook. Getting startedFor agents who are new to social media, Hickey suggested they "start with Twitter then do Facebook until you grasp those two. "Agents don't need to spend a lot of time on social media, advised Gregg Tilston, global social media leader for Flight Centre. "Even if you spend just 20 minutes you can do a lot of damage if you focus." Consistency is critical, Tilston added. "You can't go on and post just once a week and expect to grow; people get frustrated in the beginning, but it's a long-term strategy."

-- Mary Elizabeth Dallas
TUESDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Although physical activity can help boost your immune system, people who are sick should tone down their workout or skip it altogether, experts advise.
"Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress and sleep better at night. This helps boost your immune system. However, vigorous exercise and extreme conditioning can have a negative impact on your health if you're sick," Joe Berg, a personal trainer and fitness specialist at Loyola Center for Health, said in a Loyola University news release.
"When fighting a viral illness, it's best to keep your exercise session short and not as intense. If you have a fever or stomach bug it might be best to hold off," Berg added.
For those recovering from an illness, it's best to ease back into a workout routine slowly. Berg recommends starting small with some light aerobics, such as walking and cycling at an easy pace as well as body weight squats, push-ups and planks. In the plank exercise, you rest your weight on your forearms with your elbows directly beneath your shoulders, keeping your body in a straight line from your head to your feet.
"These exercises cover the major muscles of the body and when performed in moderation, can help boost your immune system," explained Berg.
For people worried about being exposed to germs at the gym, Valerie Walkowiak, medical integration coordinator at the Loyola Center for Fitness, pointed out that heading outside or working out at home may be a good way to stay healthy and fit during the cold and flu season.
"Weather permitting, it's always great to just get out of the house and walk or run to get in some cardio exercise. Just make sure you wear the proper clothes to keep warm. This includes layers of clothing, a hat, scarf, gloves and appropriate shoes," said Walkowiak.
When the weather makes exercising outdoors impossible, there are ways people can work out at home -- even if they don't have special equipment. Walkowiak said you can get your heart rate up without leaving the house by climbing the stairs, jogging in place or doing jumping jacks. She added that a home-based circuit training routine can be created by alternating two to three minutes of these cardio exercises with 30 to 60 seconds of strength-training moves, such as push-ups, squats, seated rows or heel raises.
"You don't have to have dumbbells, bands or tubing to get in some strength training at home. Try using household items to add resistance such as soup cans, gallon jugs of water or your own body weight," Walkowiak noted.
In order to target all the muscle groups, Walkowiak recommended doing the following exercises:
Anyone who does go to the gym should remember to wipe down machines and wash their hands often, the experts advised.

Bill O'Reilly: In Defense of Evil White Men
Hey, listen there, person. If you're planning to go on the offensive against "Evil White Men," and you think you're gonna get away with it, think again!
Bill O'Reilly will not have you besmirching the good (evil) name of his people…
If nothing else, it's nice to see that O'Reilly's been coming to terms with his place in the world.
Here's the Maureen Dowd column that got his evil, white hackles up in the first place.

Liberalism Sure Isn't What It Used to Be
Change truly has come to the nation. Change of all kinds. Even some words are changing their meanings. Like, for example, "liberal."
Balloon Juice points us to this…
Forbes.com has its list of the "The 25 Most Influential Liberals In The U.S. Media". Here's some of the people on the list: Maureen Dowd, Tom Friedman, Chris Hitchens, Andrew Sullivan, Fareed Zakaria, Fred Hiatt.
Come on! Where's Christopher Buckley? He said something nice about Barack Obama once. What about Joe Scarborough? He's on MSNBC; that must qualify him as a liberal, right?
Wait a minute! Scott McClellan's not on the list? He wrote a book that was critical of his time spent in Bush's administration. If that doesn't make you a liberal, what does?
And, really, couldn't we get Sean Hannity on that list? He supports the Emancipation Proclamation. Doesn't that qualify him for consideration?

Maureen Dowd Owes Me Five Dollars, Goddamnit!
Last night, after Hillary Clinton blew the roof off Denver's Pepsi Center with her fantastically energizing speech, Allison from First Draft bet me five dollars that the media spin would be that she did such a good job as kind of a "fuck you" attempt to upstage Barack Obama.
I begrudgingly took the bet, expecting to lose my money.
And I lost my money…
She added insult to injury by coming out Tuesday night looking great in a blazing orange pantsuit and teaching the precocious pup Obama something about intensity and message. She thanked her "sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits," and slyly noted that Obama would enact her health care plan rather than his.
She offered the electrifying fight that the limpid Obama has not — setting off paranoia among some Democrats that they had chosen the wrong nominee or that Obama had chosen the wrong running mate. "It makes perfect sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together in the Twin Cities because these days they are awfully hard to tell apart," she said.
You can always rely on Maureen Dowd to be reliably unreliable.
(Thank you, Allison, for letting me use your photo. And please choke on that five dollars.)

Shark Week Sharktacular!: Bull Shark or Maureen Dowd?
Hey, everybody! It's the most jolliest time of the year! Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! (And no, we're not being sponsored by the Discovery Channel; I'm just an exceptional nerd.)
Back in January, we were all fired up about maybe calling the big primary day Shark Week Tuesday, but then it turned out that if we did that we'd have "legal issues," and we'd all "lose our jobs" and have to go back to "giving handjobs for money," and it was all just too much of a hassle. Who needs it?
But, now that Shark Week is actually upon us (and I have something else to think about besides seeing The Dark Knight for the eighth time), I thought it would be fun to celebrate it on this blog by running a week-long series asking you to see if you can find the difference between two different kinds of shark: the kind that eats surfers and the kind that eats presidential candidates.
Let's kick this off two of the scariest sharks. Which of these attributes belongs to the Bull Shark and which belong to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd? (No cheating!)
a) Named a Woman of the Year by Glamour magazine in 1996.
b) Is extremely territorial, will attack other animals that enter its territory, and is responsible for more human deaths than any other type.
c) Has written that Al Gore "is so feminized and diversified and ecologically correct that he's practically lactating."
d) Has a diet that includes rays, dolphins, turtles, birds, molluscs, echinoderms, crustaceans, and terrestrial mammals such as rats and dogs, and can reach a weight of up to 700 pounds.
e) Has been accused of inserting ellipses to change a quotation's intended meaning.
f) Is found all over the world in many different areas and has been known to travel long distances.
g) Was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its series of columns on the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
h) Tends to hunt in a pack.
Answers after the jump.
a – Dowd; b – Bull Shark; c – Dowd; d – Bull Shark; e – Dowd; f – Both; g – Dowd; h – Dowd

Hello, I am Erik featured on AIGA.
Little Big Books Trailer
Despite, or because of, the ubiquity of televisions and computers, picture books have remained popular with kids and parents. These books have also not lost their appeal for illustrators and publishing houses—not least because a hit children's book can serve as the lucrative basis for TV programs, video games, toys, or other merchandising. In addition to its presentation of cutting-edge visuals from around the world, Little Big Books offers insightful texts for those who hope to create or market visual content for children. These include interviews with experts about the educational aspects, make-up, and psychology of children's picture books as well as the significance of children's book awards and practical advice on publishing rights and licensing. The publication is rounded out with an introduction that puts current work into the historical context of classic books by the genre's seminal pioneers.

Vladimir Putin is not reviving the Cold War. Rather, the U.S. failed to end it when it had the chance.
Regions / Russia
The last time the U.S. accused Russia of downing a civilian airliner, nuclear war nearly broke out.
Gone are the days when the U.S. accounted for over 40 percent of the world's billionaires, with Western Europe and Japan making up most of the rest.
They had been on the State Department's watch list, but were further downgraded in this years's Trafficking in Persons report.
Republicans oppose U.S. cooperation with Russia on NATO missile defense.
Hasn't Chechen separatists' beef always been with Russia?
In part, the Vietnam War was perceived as a message that the U.S. would not be intimidated by a Chinese nuclear-weapons program.
During the Cold War, nuclear deterrence failed to thwart crises, which were subsequently solved with good, old politics.
Historian Ward Wilson pokes holes in the mythology of nuclear weapons.

U.K. department store debuts look book with unconventional models
It's long been the subject of controversy; the use of extremely thin models. But one United Kingdom-based department store has debuted a new look book shucking the conventions.
Debenhams just released their Spring 2013 look book, and it's chock full of women that look like 'real' women. The department store has been in the news before in the past for banning the use of airbrushing and using plus-sized mannequins in store windows.
But the "High Summer Look Book" includes women under five feet tall, three models over the age of 40, a woman who is an amputee and women over six feet tall. There's also a size 18 model in a two-piece swimsuit, notable even for plus-size models because the standard for plus-size models generally falls between sizes 8 and 14.
According to the Huffington Post, Debenhams wrote on their blog: "Here at Debenhams we believe that anyone can look fabulous in our range – which is why we've decided to break with convention…
By becoming the first high street retailer in the UK to promote its latest fashion collections by using models in a diverse variety of ages, sizes and looks – the imagery in our 'High Summer Look Book' turns its back on the industry norm of young thin models."

JonnyMoley | 21/05/2012 | See all JonnyMoley's reviews (17) What an amazing game - graphically it's spot on, with an amazing opening scene (visually) and strong visuals throughout. Even on lower settings it still looks great. Enemies are by far the scariest and well thought out in ANY game and shooting arms and legs off is loads more fun than standard old head shots. Play this game in the dark on your own and you have a serious recipie for wetting yourself. It's unbelievably atmospheric and the music is perfect. The boss fights can be intense and after certain parts of the game, you just have to just sit back and have a break from the utter madness and intensity. There's so much originality in this game, from the environments to the general gameplay. The game flows really well without cut scenes, and the story is really clever. It's delightfully gory and messy at time, climbing over a pile of pieces of necromorphs that you've just cut to pieces. I also love the various deaths scenes of isaac, again a very good addition that many games don't have.Overall, this is a truly terrifying and incredible game; certainly my all time favourite, and the greatest of the horror genre of all time I would say. If I was Isaac, I definately would've shot myself in the face at the very start... it's just so damn intense!

Pittsburgh, PA

I bought these boots because they were on sale and I needed some steel toe waterproof boots. I tried some Muck Boots and found that their steel toe was much too small for my foot. These boots fit perfectly and have order three more pairs since my original purchase.
Port Washington, WI

My husband loves them
Clinton, OK

These boots are great. They are roomy, have great traction, the liner adds warmth yet I wore them outside in the garden today in 85 degree heat and they didn't feel hot.
Chester Springs, PA
via sears.com
Went to many stores shopping for a boot that was not only comfortable, but was great price and kept my feet dry when working out in the snow/rain. I highly recommend this boot.
Riverdale, MD

Nettleton, MS
via sears.com
These are great boots. They are padded and have a steel toe. I thought they may be too heavy to be used every day but I was wrong. They are light and great for every day use.

► The cyber assault continues. Hacker group LulzSec hacked the U.S. Senate Web site on Monday and released a small portion of data the Los Angeles Times reports. "The data made public is relatively harmless but could signify that the hackers have more sensitive information on hand," the Times reports. "We did it because they couldn't stop us…We always deliver," the group posted on Twitter.
► The head of the British Navy says Britain won't be able to sustain a continued role in Libya because of budget cuts, The Telegraph reports. Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope said another three months is all they could support without dramatically scaling back other operations. Stanhope said the Navy has already been forced to ask the U.S. to resupply their submarines with Tomahawk missiles.
► According to China's own figures, anti-government protests have become increasingly common in rural areas. Now, "waves of unrest" in China are exposing the government's limits in controlling the urban population. The Wall Street Journal reports that Chinese authorities have deployed paramilitary police and armored vehicles in three cities in the last month to quell rioting protesters who often target government buildings. The protests don't seem to be part of a mass movement, however. Rather, they are sparked by individual incidents. Rioting in the town of Zengcheng began Friday after security personnel pushed down a pregnant woman in a market, for example.
► A security guard in Islamabad was killed after he tackled a suicide bomber who tried to enter a bank, reports The International News. The bomber, described as 17 to18 years old, tried to push past security after setting off a metal detector. The guard wrestled with the bomber, and as a guard from an adjacent bank came to assist, the bomber blew himself up. The last suicide bombing in Islamabad was more than a year and a half ago.
► The Dayton Daily News reports that hospital violence is on the rise and highlights several incidents from the last year. Experts interviewed said that increased hospital violence is a reflection of increased violence in society. The article comes after an attempted suicide Saturday at a military hospital near Dayton.
► In other news, Wired reports that Russia may have revived a project to build an airborne laser weapon; The Voice of Russia reports that Russia and India are joining forces to create a drone aircraft capable of firing a cruise missile; And an Internet video shows a prototype for a spherical Japanese drone.

401: Contract Basics
Procurement and Contract Services Policy & Procedures Manual
Section 400: Contracts
Effective: 7/01/2010
Revised: 4/17/2012
401-001: Contracts Outside PaCS Purview:
The purchase and contract responsibilities under PaCS purview do not include authority for processes managed by Real Property and Leasing, Inventory Control, Human Resources, Risk Management, Research Office, Office of Sponsored Programs, Technology Transfer, University Advancement or authority not allowed under ORS or OAR 580-042-0010.
401-002: Contract Form
In order to acquire goods or services, the parties should enter into some form of a written contract regardless of the dollar value. Written contracts may be in a variety of forms including but not limited to: Purchase Orders, Personal Services Contracts, Use Agreements, and Rental Agreements. Contracts do not need to be labeled as such to be legally binding as interpretation is typically based on the content. There are different types of instruments used to formalize the obligations and expectations of the parties.
401-003: Oral Contracts
Oral contracts are not an acceptable form of contract and are not binding on the University.
401-004: Contracting in Good Faith
OSU contracts in good faith. It is our obligation to ensure that OSU contracts are enforceable, legal, fair, and represent terms and conditions under which OSU can agree. ORS, OAR and the Oregon Constitution contain certain restrictions which can obstruct or limit our ability to enter into agreements. A contract must accurately represent the obligations, expectations and the time in which the contract is valid.
401-005: Independent Contractor
Contracts may only be issued to individuals or businesses that qualify as Independent Contractors. An evaluation of the relationship between an individual and the University must be examined before determining independent contractor status. Facts that provide evidence of independent contractor status fall into three categories: Behavioral, Financial and the Relationship of the Parties. The degree of importance of each category varies depending on the type of work and individual circumstances. An Independent Contractor Determination form must be completed whenever the university is contracting with an individual whether by PSC or other form of contract.
401-006: OSU as a Contractor
OSU may perform work as a Contractor to other entities only under certain conditions; the work must be consistent with OSU's mission; and the fee charged must be approved and published in the OSU fee book. Office of Sponsored Programs and Procurement both execute contracts on behalf of the University where the University acts as the contractor. To determine whether PaCS or the Office of Sponsored Programs would handle the contract, refer to the Contract Type Characteristics matrix at http://oregonstate.edu/research/osp/submission/TestingAgreements_000.htm
401-007: Non-Negotiable Public Contracts

Nowadays the final bankruptcy of U.S. colleges and universities is usually proceeded by loss of accreditation because students cannot obtain federal grants and loans if they attend colleges and universities that are not accredited by federally recognized accreditation bodies. Accordingly, the location of the vast majority of HBCUs in the nation's southern states makes the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges the ultimate arbiter of the survival of the HBCU community.
This compact site enables readers to find most of the information they want about HBCUs with a few mouse clicks. It hosts the "Gateway to HBCUs" (left column) that links to data about HBCU academic activities. The site also links to HBCU media, statistical reports, an op-ed blog, tech news (daily), and a magazine (weekly) that emphasize online, blended, and competency-based programs, plus efforts by HBCUs to become centers of Internet-based innovation and entrepreneurship.

We've hand-picked half a century of the most iconic Red-letter days. These moments are in no particular order, but there can only be one place to start…
1. Sir Matt leads United to a first ever European Cup, 29 May 1968
The United story doesn't start here, of course, but much of what the club has come to stand for can be traced back to this epochal moment. The 4-1 European Cup final victory over Benfica in 1968 was hugely significant. Not only were United the first English club to lift the trophy, it was the realisation of the long-held vision of Matt Busby. When Busby became United manager in 1945 he and his backroom team – his inestimable right-hand man Jimmy Murphy and those men of football science, Bert Whalley, Tom Curry and Bill Inglis – set their vision of youth as the way forward. Busby first took his young charges into Europe in 1956 (see number 2) but the tragedy of Munich in 1958 blew a hole in Busby's masterplan. Busby's side were aiming for a third consecutive league title and European glory when disaster struck, claiming the lives of eight of his braves and so nearly his own. Those who knew him best said he felt that he owed it to them to go on. A decade later, against Eusebio and co on a sweltering Wembley night, the United flag was finally planted at Europe's summit. Vindication came courtesy of two goals from Bobby Charlton, fellow Munich survivor; and one apiece from George Best, the game's first superstar, and Brian Kidd, who turned 19 that day. Busby's glorious dream came at a terrible price, but this was a night where the guilt he felt was, in a small but significant way, assuaged.
2. United defy the Football League to enter the European stage, 22 May 1956
The stiff shirts at the Football League scoffed in 1955 when Frenchman Gabriel Hanot proposed a champions club cup for which the cream of Europe could compete. 'Learn something from Johnny Foreigner? Pah!' – or words to that effect – was the attitude of Football League secretary Alan Hardaker. If the Football League squeeze worked on Chelsea, champions in 1954/55, it didn't affect Busby 12 months on after his swashbuckling Babes

The Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta is set to commence on September 29, EA has announced.
The beta will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Gamers who pre-order the digital PC version of the game from Origin and all customers that pre-ordered the limited edition of Medal of Honor will be granted early access to the beta beginning on September 27.
Here's the official word:
The beta is set in Paris on the Operation Metro map, where players work their way from lush parks on the outskirts of the city to a dark, bombed-out metro station, to the vibrant streets around the Paris stock exchange.
Two elite tactical units square off in the series' popular Rush Mode. One side takes the offensive by attacking M-COM stations while the opposing squad defends and protects.
Gamers in the beta can also log onto Battlelog, the game's free social media network that allows gamers to communicate and compete with friends, track their stats and share their progress. Battlelog extends the in-game experience to be accessible anywhere, whether on a PC, console or handheld device.
Players are also invited to join the EA Gun Club for the latest shooter news, and to receive in-game benefits including access to the M1911 pistol and distinct badges in Battlefield 3. The M1911 pistol will also be available to registered Battlefield veterans.
Yesterday EA launched the first official, full-length Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 gameplay trailer, showing off the Operation Guillotine mission.
