iPhone 4S Significantly Increased Apple's U.S. Smartphone Share During October-November
According to latest data from research firm NPD, iPhone 4S is turning the tables in the tough competition between Samsung and Apple. Analyzing U.S. smartphone sales data for November and October, the NPD found out that iOS considerably increased its share in U.S. smartphone sales, while the Android platform lost significant share to Apple (
Apple is working on Siri Dictation for the iPad, iOS 5.1 beta reveals
9to5Mac has reported a couple of hours ago that has discovered something potentially major: Siri Dictation references inside the iOS 5.1 beta 3 released today. Sonny Dickson (9to5Mac's tipster) was looking through the iOS 5.1 beta 3 settings application on the iPad and discovered a new section in the keyboard menu called "About Privacy and Dictation." When he opened it, as shown above, the iPad provides the user with the standard legal literature and feature information for Siri Dictation.
Dictation is not actually functional on the iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 beta 3, so perhaps this will be an iOS 5.1 launch feature for the iPad, or it may be an iPad 3-exclusive feature; a similar process to the iPhone 4S exclusively gaining Siri and Siri Dictation support in iOS 5.0. We're also hearing this link/document is also appearing on retina iPod touches as well.

Saurik makes contribution towards iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak
It looks like iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak will truly be a team effort. Recently another hacker Saurik joined the team and made "some major contributions" yesterday.
Last week Pod2g announced that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja joined his effort to release an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (A5 CPU devices).
Today, MuscleNerd noted that the team has received some major contributions from saurik:
Pegatron reportedly lining up orders for third-gen iPad ahead of March launch
Upstream supply chain sources claim that Apple manufacturer Pegatron is believed to have received a "small volume" of orders for the third-generation iPad, which is rumored to launch in March. DigiTimes reported on Tuesday that this year Pegatron focuses on production of future generations of the iPad while Foxconn focuses on iPhone manufacturing. In that case, the company's strategy is to decrease risk while improving the quality of its products.
"Pegatron Technology has reportedly already landed a small volume of orders for the upcoming "iPad 3" (generally called by supply chain players)," the report read, adding that Pegatron declined to comment on the rumor.
Pegatron is said to see a "significant increase" in orders when Apple will be ready to launch a so-called "iPad 4" in October with an initial volume of 7-10 million units.
Apple sold 1.2M MacBook Airs over holidays, new models with Ivy Bridge loom
According to DigiTimes sources, Apple sold 1.2 million of its thin-and-light MacBook Air over the holiday buying season. These numbers are 200,000 more than Apple achieved in the September quarter. Thanks to MacBook Air sales, Apple became the only vendor that managed to maintain its total notebook shipments from the third quarter to the fourth of calendar 2011.
DigiTimes also claims that another strong performance for the MacBook Air comes as Apple is expected to refresh the ultraportable notebook line in the coming months with Intel's next-generation Ivy Bridge processors. Apple PC competitors are doing their best to replicate MacBook Air success, and going to launch their own notebooks based on the "Ultrabook" specification from Intel. Lenovo, Acer and Toshiba reportedly plan to price comparable models $50 to $100 below Apple's MacBook Air pricing.
54% of future smartphone buyers will choose Apple's iPhone
ChangeWave Research yesterday released the results of its new survey of North American smartphone customers. The survey demonstrates that over a half of those looking to purchase a smartphone over the next 90 days are planning to buy an iPhone 4S. But the 54% share of future buying plans held by Apple as of December was down from 65% in September.
The late December survey looked at smart phone demand trends going forward, and finds Apple iPhone demand remains incredibly strong more than two months after the iPhone 4S release.
Among respondents planning to buy a new smart phone in the next 90 days, better than one-in-two (54%; down 11-pts) say they'll get an iPhone.
Apple has never dominated smart phone planned buying to this extent more than two months after a major new release.
AT&T Announces APIs For HTML5 Web Apps
Mobile carrier AT&T is running its annual Developer Summit in Las Vegas at CES 2012 and CEO Ralph De La Vega addressed around 2,500 visitors from 33 different countries. Explaining why AT&A holds this summit, he said:
"What's good for developers is good for customers".
Apple wins $920K tax refund from 1989
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that California's Supreme Court has affirmed a $920,000 tax refund for Apple dating back to 1989, but it refused to hear the company's request to lower its tax bill for income earned abroad. The court upheld an appellate ruling earlier this week that returned $231,000 in taxes to Apple, along with $689,000 in interest.
However, it is only a partial win, as the Supreme Court rejected Apple's request to reevaluate tax rates on foreign-earned income. "Apple argued that its foreign dividends from that year should be attributed to income from previous years that had already been taxed," the report read.
Smartphones eat up 5.9 percent of the electronic gadget market
According to market research firm NPD Group, sales of general purpose smartphones are causing the market for standalone gadgets such as cameras, camcorders and GPS devices to shrink, falling 5.9 percent overall during the holiday season in the US.
Sales of camcorders dropped by 43 percent, digital picture frames by 38 percent, GPS navigation devices by 33 percent and both MP3 players and "point and shoot" cameras were down 21 percent, all apparent casualties of the general purpose smartphone. Sales of electronic devices that don't directly overlap in functionality with the smartphone fared better, with PC and TV sales down just 4 percent. Desktop PCs were down 2 percent overall, while notebook sales were down 5 percent.
Survey suggests 50% growth in enterprise spending on Apple products in 2012
Forrester Research issued its Global Tech Market Outlook for 2012 and 2013 on Friday where the research company argued that Apple will "reshape the computing equipment market." The study cited the adoption of iPad and Macs among professionals as proof that Apple is "dramatically disrupting" the corporate market traditionally dominated by Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, and HP.
Analysts have been predicting that cloud computing — specifically, infrastructure-as a service (IaaS) — will reshape the server and storage market… Actual adoption of IaaS remains limited…The biggest disruptive force in the computer equipment market thus is not IaaS, but Apple. This is a surprise, because Apple has not and does not directly address the corporate market, while turning a wide variety of consumer technology markets upside-down. But its rapid growth in the corporate market has been the big surprise of 2011, and it will be even more of a factor in 2012.
According to the survey, the business sector will buy $10 billion worth of iPads this year, up from $6 billion in 2011. IT departments are also projected to spend $9 billion on Macs in 2012, up from $6 billion in 2011. Mac and iPad spending will rise to $12 billion and $16 billion, respectively in 2013, according to the survey.
Apple projected to reach 116M iPhone, 55M iPad sales in 2012
Analyst Michael Walkley with Canaccord Genuity expects that combined iPhone and iPad sales in calendar 2012 to reach more than 170 million in another record breaking 12-month span. He sees 2012 being another banner year for Apple, with sales of 116.4 million iPhones and 54.6 million iPads. Walkley believes that iOS mobile operating system share will reach 18 percent, and will take the second place behind only Google's Android with 51.9 percent on sales of 335.5 million handsets.
"We believe Apple sold through at least (12 million) iPhone units in the U.S. market during the December quarter," Walkley wrote. "With some channel inventory built for the new 4S, we believe the U.S. market could exceed (14 million) iPhones sold into the channel during the December quarter."
Step-by-step Tutorial: How to Untether Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3GS Using RedSn0w 0.9.10 (Windows) [iOS 5.0.1]
UPDATE: Apple released iOS 5.1 that is only tethered jailbreakable with redsn0w. Apple has stopped signing iOS 5.0.1, so you can NOT restore to 5.0.1 any more (both original and custom), unless you have saved your SHSH keys for 5.0.1. If you are on 5.0.1 you can jailbreak with redsn0w.
This is step-by-step instructions on how to perform untethered jailbreak of your iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.0.1 firmware using RedSn0w 0.9.10 for Windows.
Untethered jailbreak means that each time you restart your device you will NOT need to connect it to a computer and run utilities.
Important: If you need unlock and have 05.13 baseband or lower - do not update to Apple firmware, use RedSn0w or Sn0wBreeze to create custom firmware!
If you need unlock Redsn0w will provide you with choice of updating your baseband to 06.15. If you have new iPhone 3GS that was made after 35 week of 2011 upgrading modem will not help to unlock.

Apple to ship high-res 'iPad 3' in March, 'iPad 4' in October
Citing component makers in Taiwan, DigiTimes reported on Friday that the so-called "iPad 3" will launch in March with a high-resolution Retina Display, while an "iPad 4" will arrive in October of this year to counter a rumored Google-branded tablet as well as touchscreen devices running Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system.
Apple will ship the so-called "iPad 3" with a full HD display in March and then "iPad 4" - named so by its component suppliers - with killer applications in October, according to industry sources in Taiwan. [...]
But a true battle for market share will arrive in the second half of the year when Apple ships its iPad 4 in October, about the time when Microsoft releases its Window 8 and Intel unveils its Clover Trail-W platform, the sources commented.
The 9.7-inch iPad 4 is expected to come with much upgraded hardware specifications and integrated applications so as to compete with an array of Android-, Wintel- or WoA (Windows on ARM)-based tablet PCs to be released in the fourth quarter, said the sources.
Finally, Digitimes suggests that Apple will continue to sell the current iPad 2, but will drop its price to $399, much like Apple currently does with older iPhone models, to counter lower priced tablets that are available, such as the Kindle Fire for $199.

MULLAN, Idaho (AP) - The president of a mining company in northern Idaho says that a miner trapped underground nine days ago is presumed to be dead.
Hecla Mining Company President Phil Baker said in a video release posted Sunday on his company's website that officials now believe 53-year-old Larry Marek was buried beneath a section of the Lucky Friday Mine that collapsed April 15.
Baker says that "words cannot express the deep sorry we feel at the tragic loss of Larry."
Marek and his brother, Mike, had just finished watering down blasted-out rock and ore in the mine when the ceiling collapsed in the 6,150-foot deep tunnel. Mike Marek escaped unharmed.
No cause has been established for the cave-in.

text: Sen. Levin Wants Vote on Hagel 'As Soon as We're Ready' Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 7 Feb 2013 post a comment Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) has indicated that he wants to schedule a committee vote on the confirmation of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) as Secretary of Defense "as soon as we're ready to have a vote," according to CNN. Levin criticized Republicans for raising objections to Hagel's failure to disclose sources of foreign funding to organizations with which he has been involved, including the Atlantic Council. "He's been asked for things no prior candidate has been asked for," Levin told CNN. On Wednesday, Levin postponed a vote that was to have taken place on Thursday. In his most recent comments, Levin gave no specific date or deadline for a vote on Hagel.

chose wisely, you have to have sex with this person till you die.
I hate summing up shit with one sentence, so I'll select one of my favorite 'quotes' about love that's worth 1000 words:
chose wisely, you have to have sex with this person till you die.
I really don't have a love quote because I can't remember any that I have read. Hmmm.....
Maybe one this one will do..
"Love one another as you love yourself." :] Thats always a good one.
Take a chance ... if you love and were rejected nothing will change... if you love and were accepted then it is a risk worth taking.. what do you got to lose?
I actually just told this one to a friend today.
Love is when that special person holds your heart and sometimes you say "hey give it back" but most of the time you say "please don't break it" even if your watching it crack.
That's my stand point on love. I say that because you don't choose who you love. Sometimes the person you love treats you like your nothing and you want your heart back while other times you just have to hope the person doesn't break your heart even if you're sure they will and that person may surprise you by not breaking it but they may also do what you were sure they would.
I suppose Santa Claus doesn't go around delivering semi-automatics, extra mags, and cans of tear gas.
This is a quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (I had to look up who said it because I couldn't remember). Anyway, here it is:
"Love doesn't consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction."
I don't remember where I first heard this quote, but it's one of my favorites.
"you know you're in love,when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
got that one frowm dr.seuss;D
※∞※de nihilo nihil※∞※
do not conform to this world
O Ive got one ! ...some rochester dude said once that
Love , like little boys
Cries for hearts as they for toys

Assessing the Contract
Patricia LePore, JD
Managed Care Resource Center
For many of you, preparing to enter the job market is the culmination of long hours of study and work. Take your time and make sure the opportunity facing you is one that you can live with. To make sure your first foray into the work world is successful, experts recommend the following:
Consult a Professional. Consider hiring an attorney to review the provisions of the employment contract. You will be bound by the agreement you make now for the next year (or more). Make sure the agreement is one you can live with, and that you can fulfill the requirements of the job. A contract is a legal document containing many terms that require a professional to interpret.
Check with your local medical society for the names of attorneys who work with physicians and specialize in employment agreements. Employment contracts are legal documents that can be quite complicated. And don't make the mistake of assuming the contract is not negotiable. An attorney skilled in employment agreements can both interpret the contract language for you and make suggestions for changes beneficial to you. He or she can also negotiate any changes on your behalf with the practice or hospital you are considering joining.
And most importantly, take the time right in the beginning to make sure everything you need is covered in the contract. Once you sign, you will have lost any leverage to make changes to the agreement, at least or until it is time to re-negotiate.
Contractual Issues. Your employment contract will cover both economic and non-economic issues. The most important economic issue will be your compensation. Again, it is important here to have the advice of an expert familiar with how physician compensation is typically structured and what will be most beneficial in your particular case. It was not long ago that most physicians joined an existing practice and applied part of their income to the practice until they earned their way to partnership. This method of compensation and route to partnership is becoming much less prevalent. Straight salary is also less popular because it provides less incentive for physicians to practice efficiently. More common is a compensation package that includes salary plus incentive. Under these types of arrangements, as much as a quarter of a physician's income can be tied to quality indicators - patient satisfaction scores, utilization reviews, productivity, contributions toward administration of the practice, etc. Typically, a percentage of a physician's salary is "withheld" or put into a risk pool. The pool is then distributed based on how efficiently a physician manages his or her patients.
In addition to the salary or compensation clause, probably the most important clause for physicians to understand is the non-compete clause. Non-compete clauses or "restrictive covenants" are included in most employment contracts. They restrict the physician from engaging in practice within a specific geographic area and for a specific period of time should he or she leave the practice. Non-compete clauses can seriously hamper a physician's ability to earn a living with the same general community. They should be reviewed carefully by an expert. Non-compete clauses, like most contract clauses, are negotiable, but you may have to accept less compensation in exchange.
More Specifics About Physician Compensation. Compensation is related to the type of setting you choose as well as the demographics of the market and the region of the country. A survey by Medical Economics published November 16, 2007 showed that the total median compensation for internists in 2006 was $170,000. However, compensation varied by group size, with solo practitioners earning the least, at $152,000, and those in groups of 3-10 physicians earning the most, at $174,000. Other factors influencing compensation for all primary care physicians include geography, where earnings were highest for those practicing in the Midwest. Suburban and rural doctors also did better than urban and inner city practitioners. For more information, look at the Medical Economics article.
Another article reporting data from this survey and published in Medical Economics December 7, 2007 issue showed that 45% of internists earn revenue from capitation. At the median, internists with capitation contracts earn about 20% of their revenue from capitation.
Other Negotiable Issues. Physicians should recognize that anything is potentially negotiable. The amount of paid vacation, continuing medical education, signing bonuses, moving expenses, and the like are all open to discussion. The best time to negotiate any of these issues is before you sign a contract. Once that contract is signed, you have lost any leverage with your potential employer.

Apple's FaceTime for Mac debuts with security holes
If someone has physical or virtual (VNC) access to your mac then I presume that your itunes account would be the least of your worries.
This is a huge non-problem. Either the attacker has to use malware to plant remote login software or someone has to have physical access to your mac. Unless the first method of attack (malware) has been proven and is currently wild then the only people who can take advantage of this 'security hole' are those around you everyday.
If someone has physical access to your mac then the likelihood is that you'll have auto-fill/autologin enabled on loads of sites and therefore they'd be able to reset your account anyway.
Basically this is a bug not a security lapse - just as it would be if it occurred on any other platform.
Mandybill: All the Commons drama
Why not spend the money that's going to this on incentives for media companies to get their stuff online and create new business models. Just look at the options for watching movies - iTunes and....pirating.
Why not create a Steam style shop where you can buy films and have your collection available where ever you are? Oh no, deep packet inspection is obviously the way forward.
People will always pirate is this good - no, of course not. However it's like Police who go after the guy selling some drugs to his friends instead of the guys who are importing it. Going after this little guy is a waste of time and doesn't actually stop piracy (look at sweden's IPRED law) - all it does it make money off consumers (some completely innocent).
A step in the right direction is seesaw.com - basically an aggregator for UK online on-demand services.
IPCC Rainforest eco-tastrophe claim confirmed as bunk
The IPCC again?
How people can still believe a word these so-called 'experts' say it beyond me.
Here is how I see it: climate change is happening - just as it has since the earth began. I don't believe that it is human driven in the slightest.
Ignoring that, I still believe that green energy is the way to go. I'm fed up of all these ridiculous claims being purported by the media. We should want renewable energy for the sake of having renewable energy, not because some heavily subsidised scientists or hardline environmental groups say the world is going to end in a few years.
Why not take the money away from scientists who are paid to find the many ways humans are supposedly altering the earths weather patterns and put it into proper energy research. The world will change regardless of whether we change with it, we should think about the future of housing, food production and power generation instead of wasting pointless hours on trying to prove or disprove human involvement.
Adobe apologizes for festering Flash crash bug
Apple didn't create the flash plugin...
...so why blame them?
Flash on mac is poorly coded anyway and this has nothing to with apple, more the laziness of adobe. All the CS4 products (demos) crash on my mac and Flash often decides that a simple 2D game needs 80% of my CPU (3.06GHz Core 2 Duo).
According to you logic I could import some low quality tire for my car then when it went flat blame the car and buy a new one.
I'm not just on about Macs either, it's the same with AVs on Windows - so many of them have bad coding which makes them run incredibly slow .

Well, I'm glad he's gone, I just wished it would have happened sooner before the end of the line here.

Although I don't believe Mattel or Scott (he's hired to promote the line) really care that much about customer service. That's why they hired the pro's at Digital River. ...

Yeah, I'm sad for the diehard DC fans and Ghostbusters fans that it didn't go through for them. I collected all of the Ghostbusters figs from Matty, but an Ecto-1 toy is just not worth $215 to me. ...
That would be a great lineup!!!

Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuela's government has granted U.S. diplomats access to a California man who is being held while he awaits trial on charges of espionage and fomenting unrest.
An Embassy spokesperson said Thursday that officials have been permitted to meet with Timothy Tracy, who was arrested by intelligence agents following Venezuela's April 14 presidential election.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because Embassy personnel are not authorized to discuss Tracy's case.
Tracy's relatives say the filmmaker had been making a documentary about Venezuelan politics for six months before his was arrested.
The Embassy spokesperson said no additional details of Tracy's arrest or status could be discussed due to privacy considerations.

Liquor commissioners reject booze surcharge
Jun 12, 2013
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Good news for those who like booze.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission on Wednesday narrowly rejected placing an additional 25-cent-a-bottle surcharge on the price of distilled spirits.
If the surcharge had passed, it would have raised a projected $16.2 million for the upcoming two-year state budget cycle. Though not a tremendous amount of money in a budget that will top $15 billion, it was revenue legislators had been counting on.
Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, the chief budget writer in the House, said lawmakers wanted to use the money to increase spending on law enforcement, the judiciary and health care. The money would have helped cover the societal costs of excessive alcohol consumption, he said.
"It's definitely not a plus that this went down," Buckley said.
Liquor commissioners Michael Harper, Rob Patridge and Bob Rice opposed the fee in a vote taken by conference call. Commissioners Cass Skinner and Pamela Weatherspoon supported it.
The commissioners, all of whom were appointed to their posts by either Gov. John Kitzhaber or former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, have the legal authority to approve surcharges on liquor without the electoral fear of angering voters. But the commissioners who rejected the added fee said the Legislature is ideally the body that should handle taxation.
"The Legislature is currently in session and has the full authority, power and, I would argue, responsibility to deal with these revenue issues," Rice said in a phone interview.
Commissioners recently extended a temporary 50-cent surcharge that has been in effect since April 2009. Rice, who owns the Virginia Cafe in downtown Portland, said he supported that fee four years ago because the state was in the middle of a financial crisis.
"Now, here we are four years later, and the 50 cents that was for a short-term emergency has become essentially institutionalized in government funding, and I don't think that's appropriate," he said.
Adding another 25 cents would have been "egregious," he said, particularly since it was only directed at distilled spirits, not other types of alcohol.
The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States praised Wednesday's vote, saying the "hidden tax" would have hurt consumers and the state's hospitality industry.
Commissioner Patridge, who is also the Klamath County district attorney, said the across-the-board, per bottle increase was inequitable.
"Should the $10 bottle of vodka and the $50 bottle of vodka pay the same tax?" he said. "It creates an unfair situation, frankly. It puts a higher burden on those who choose to buy more inexpensive alcohols."

To test the potential value of more frequent QT interval measurement in hospitalized patients.We performed a prospective, observational study.All adult intensive care unit and progressive care unit beds of a university medical center.All patients admitted to one of six critical care units over a 2-month period were included in analyses.All critical care beds (n = 154) were upgraded to a continuous QT monitoring system (Philips Healthcare).QT data were extracted from the bedside monitors for offline analysis. A corrected QT interval >500 msecs was considered prolonged. Episodes of QT prolongation were manually over-read. Electrocardiogram data (67,648 hrs, mean 65 hrs/patient) were obtained. QT prolongation was present in 24%. There were 16 cardiac arrests, with one resulting from Torsade de Pointes (6%). Predictors of QT prolongation were female sex, QT-prolonging drugs, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hyperglycemia, high creatinine, history of stroke, and hypothyroidism. Patients with QT prolongation had longer hospitalization (276 hrs vs. 132 hrs, p < .0005) and had three times the odds for all-cause in-hospital mortality compared to patients without QT prolongation (odds ratio 2.99 95% confidence interval 1.1-8.1).We find QT prolongation to be common (24%), with Torsade de Pointes representing 6% of in-hospital cardiac arrests. Predictors of QT prolongation in the acutely ill population are similar to those previously identified in ambulatory populations. Acutely ill patients with QT prolongation have longer lengths of hospitalization and nearly three times the odds for mortality then those without QT prolongation.

DLKW Lowe hires two as creative directors
DLKW Lowe has hired Amber Casey and Lovisa Silburn as creative directors.
Casey (l) and Silburn: team
The pair met at DDB in 2002 but have never worked as a team before. They will oversee a range of clients and report to Dave Henderson and Richard Denney, the joint executive creative directors.
During her time at DDB, Casey created the D&AD Award-winning "fashion victims" for Harvey Nichols and a spot for The Guardian. She has also worked at Bartle Bogle Hegarty and Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R on British Airways, the BBC and Oxfam.
Silburn has previously worked at Lowe and Fallon Minneapolis, and has won a D&AD Pencil and Cannes Lions for work on Stella Artois. She also produced the "royal wedding" online film for T-Mobile, which was the UK's most-watched ad on YouTube in 2011.
Henderson said: "They have an incredible appetite for work, an infectious enthusiasm and a proven ability to write the hits. Rich and I are very pleased they want to make this their home."
In January, Havas Worldwide London poached DLKW Lowe's Andy McAnaney, Christian Sewell and Jamie Craven.

Cozy and Comfortable
Had a great two-night stay at Roger's Cabin. Cabin is definitely small (one small room plus a bathroom) but cozy and comfortable. Linda and Andy were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. Easy to find with their directions and very close to the highway. A little over an hour to the grand canyon, and reasonably close to WIlliams for groceries etc. we cooked out on the (Weber) grill both nights and had delicious sunset dinners. My only complaint is that the cabin is not as isolated as I had expected. it's in a cluster of cabins and these are even close to another backyard. The forest on one side of the cabin extends quite a ways, but the view out the front door is less exciting. All that said, I was very happy with my stay and would definitely do so again.

The aromas of curry and spices draw passersby into Jolly's Indian Bistro, where flickering candles and ambient music create an intimate atmosphere. In the kitchen, Chef Jolly Kumar, who learned to cook from local dhaba chefs during his childhood in New Delhi, prepares fragrant masalas and meaty kebabs in a traditional tandoor oven. Bartenders concoct tropical beverages and pour sweet wines to complement Chef Kumar's spicy sauces, fresh chutneys, and savoury paneer, which were showcased in Vancouver 24 Hour. Ornate iron sconces cast shadows across colourful ceiling drapes and floral, latticed wall panels, providing elegant surroundings to match the refined flavours of Kumar's upscale Indian cuisine.
Boondockers Restaurant was a Snohomish County favorite for decades, thanks to its classic burgers, fries, and milk shakes. So after buying the restaurant, the Bala family made sure to continue serving juicy burgers and old-fashioned ice-cream shakes while also giving the menu a new twist?a sidebar of carefully curated Indian and Pakistani fare.
Originally from India, the Bala family flavors favorite recipes with vibrant spices, yielding savory curries, kebabs, and samosas cooked to perfection. In addition to a full lunch and dinner menu, sweet and savory breakfast fare can be enjoyed with mimosas until 2 p.m., when the champagne flutes turn back into plastic sippy cups till the next morning.
You could say that the art of food preparation is in chef Manish Rawat's blood. An India native, his culinary passion started early on by observing his father's restaurant and catering business. That experience formed the kind of chef he is today: one who is passionate about artful cuisine and the lengths to which he can bend flavours. That's nowhere more evident than in the way his kitchen staff at Chef's Kebab blends herbs and spices to craft his extensive menu of vegetarian and meat-based entrees and tandoor-baked breads.
But dinner at Chef's Kebab is a treat for the other senses, too. The restaurant's use of white plates makes the chef's colourful food pop, whether it's the ochre glow of a cashew curry with lamb or the vibrant green of a cumin-spinach puree with farmer's cheese. Inside the tandoor oven, skewered black tiger prawns, peppercorn-flavoured lamb, and yogurt-marinated jack fruit might be found roasting over an open flame or perfecting their tan lines.
Curry Sensation celebrates the rich culinary heritage of India with a menu that spans many of the subcontinent?s diverse regions. The bistro lays out an extensive spread of tandoori-baked chicken and lamb, fresh seafood curries, fluffy loaves of stuffed naan, and colourful vegetable stews. Artfully arranged tapas plates sate smaller appetites or giant appetites for sharing with batter-fried fish pakora and chili-dusted paneer cubes. Main courses include Indian favourites, such as basmati-rice biryani, butter chicken, and okra masala. Matching the rich flavour profiles, the interior swims with crimson curtains, clay-toned walls, and hardwood floors. There, dining guests sip wine and cocktails, break loaves of spinach-filled naan, and sword fight with skewers of lamb kebab.
Ice Cream 64 & Snacks not only cools down taste buds on a hot day, but it also spices them right back up again. That's because the ice-cream shop doesn't just scoop out its signature 64 flavours of ice cream—it also cooks up a select menu of spicy Indian favourites such as samosas, bhel puri, and butter chicken. Alongside these savoury options, they also prepare sweeter Eastern treats such as mango lassis, lychee smoothies, and 26 flavours of bubble tea. All of their treats can be combined into party packages that feature ice-cream cakes.
Part sports bar, part restaurant, Desi 2 Go Pizza & Curry's amalgam of East and West is the brainchild of Chef Jazz Grewal. Trained in restaurants and hotels in India, Grewal draws upon his experience to oversee a vast menu of familiar Indian eats served amid the glow of flat-screen televisions and flowing taps. The roster of 12 beers on tap includes Stella, Sapporo, Guinness, 1664, and their own house brew called Desi Lager. From a British flag to a large drum tantalizingly out of reach on a shelf above, the interior emanates an ambiance of worldliness.

Toledo's triple option will test NIU's defense on Tuesday night
BY Lacy J. Banks email@example.com October 31, 2011 9:32PM
Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren (right) is looking forward to his second season at the Huskies helm. NIU released its scheduled Thursday. | PHOTO COURTESY NIU
Updated: December 2, 2011 8:06AM
TOLEDO, Ohio — Quarterback Chandler Harnish and Northern Illinois' high-powered offense can only take the Huskies so far.
Unless the defense improves, NIU (5-3, 3-1) has little chance of beating Toledo (5-3, 4-0) on Tuesday night at the Glass Bowl.
"We'll be seeing two of the top-scoring teams in the Mid-American Conference," Huskies coach Dave Doeren said.
The Huskies are averaging a MAC-high 38.5 points. The Rockets are averaging 36.5.
"Toledo is a very, very good football team at home and has been so for years," Doeren said.
Especially against the Huskies, whom the Rockets have beaten 18 of the last 20 times at home.
Last year in DeKalb, the Huskies routed the Rockets 65-30 on their way to winning the West Division.
With a victory, the Huskies would share the West Division lead with Toledo.
Harnish will be the best player on the field. He ranks among the conference's top 10 in passing, completing 135 of 215 passes for 1,697 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also has carried the ball 94 times for 738 yards and eight touchdowns.
But the Rockets are more balanced. Their two quarterbacks, Austin Dantin and Terrance Owens, have completed 165 of 251 passes for 1,959 yards and 16 touchdowns. Plus, running back Morgan Williams has rushed for 489 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Huskies' defense will be hard-pressed to contain the triple option, which has given it fits all year.
NIU has given up 32.5 points a game, one of the worst averages in the MAC. Toledo has given up an average of 25.
"This week, there's no third-down-package guys because it's triple option for 70 straight plays," Doeren said.

Top Junglers imo:
Mao - Great team jungler. Great disrupts and ult -- some of the best early game ganks -- but again VERY team dependent. If your team knows how to use you, he's king, but if not, he cannot carry noobs nearly as well as other jungles
Skarner - In S3 he took a little hit indirectly with black cleavers but that has been fixed somewhat... Still he has the best perma CC in the game and does decent damage and can carry while still feeling tanky.

November 28, 2014
A Wisconsin district attorney has stopped allowing veterans to enroll in a court program designed for them, saying it's costly and doesn't meet national standards.
The Veterans Treatment Court was set up in 2009 to help service members charged with drug and alcohol violations, along with other crimes. Defendants get treatment through the Department of Veterans Affairs and can see charges reduced or dismissed if they successfully finish the program.
Thirty veterans have participated in the program, including 11 who are still enrolled.
But Rock County District Attorney David O'Leary has told his staff to stop accepting people into the program. He says one concern is that drug tests aren't as frequent as they should be. He tells the Janesville Gazette the problem also eats up staff time.

1/10 Could Kerry Wood leave Cubs?
Kerry Wood sounds as if he is moving on. Wood appeared on WGN Radio's Sports Night on Monday night, and said he wants to keep pitching. But he has yet to reach an agreement with the Cubs for 2012.
"Regardless of what happens, we're still in Chicago, we're dedicated to the city," Wood said Monday. "Things will work out for me in the city of Chicago because we're dedicated to the city, we're dedicated to the community, we're dedicated to helping children and again, we're staying here, we're raising our family here.
"I'm a Texas boy, but I feel like I've become a Chicagoan, so we're happy to be here whether I finish here or whether I don't, we plan on being here a long time."
Last year, Wood unveiled the Wood Family Foundation, dedicated to helping children in the Chicago area. On Friday, he will host "Woody's Winter Warmup" at Harry Caray's on Navy Pier, a fund raiser for his foundation. Theo Epstein was scheduled to attend. Wood has been part of the Cubs since he signed at 18, returning last season when he agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal. He understands the fans want him to stay.
"There's always time for change and there's always room for it so we'll just have to wait and see," Wood said.
Last week, Epstein said the team was negotiating with Wood's agents about a new deal.
"Kerry Wood is exactly the type of guy we want to build a winning culture here in Chicago," Epstein said. "I would be greatly, greatly disappointed if we're not able to bring him back."
The Phillies are one of the teams that has shown interest in Wood.

1/9 Kerry Wood to make decision
Kerry Wood expects to announce Friday if he's returning to the Cubs. Wood told NBC-5 Chicago on Sunday night he'll make a decision by then, which is when the Cubs Convention opens and also when he hosts a fundraiser for his foundation in Chicago. The Phillies are reportedly interested in the right-hander, according to ESPN.com. Before the 2011 season ended, Wood said he will retire rather than pitch for another team. However, the Cubs and Wood apparently have been unable to agree on length of contract or money. Wood gave the Cubs a hometown discount when he signed a $1.5 million contract last December. Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly reports Wood is seeking around $4 million. The 34-year-old right-hander was 3-5 with a 3.35 ERA in 55 games last season, which ended in mid September after he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. He had surgery in October.

Madson to Anaheim possible?
That still remains to be seen. But on Wednesday afternoon — after the Red Sox acquired Andrew Bailey from the Athletics in exchange for three young players — it became more possible than ever.
With the Red Sox, a team with money to spend, filling a huge need in the back end of its bullpen by acquiring the young Bailey, the market for Madson has reached a new low. It's now pretty clear that the 31-year-old right-hander won't get anything close to what the Phillies reportedly offered him before turning their attention to Jonathan Papelbon (a four-year, $44 million contract).
But just how much of a pay cut he takes is the big question.
It'd have to be a pretty sizeable one for the Angels to be a fit, now that the team has committed more than $330 million to Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. But it's interesting to note that Wilson turned down a larger contract from the Marlins in order to sign with the Angels and return to Orange County, Calif. — where Madson was also born.
Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said during the Winter Meetings that his mission was to "complement [closer] Jordan Walden, not replace Jordan Walden." In tune with that, he signed veteran right-hander LaTroy Hawkins to potentially help lefty Scott Downs in a setup role. But getting Madson would be a far bigger step towards improving a bullpen that was tied for first in the American League in blown saves last season.
So far, it appears the Rays and Reds are the two main teams that still need a closer. But the Reds and Francisco Cordero reportedly want a reunion, and the Rays don't have the financial wherewithal to allocate a lot of money to the ninth inning.
Time for Scott Boras to get creative with Madson.

Rox, Cuddyer reach three-year, $31.5 million agreement
The Rockies are putting the final touches on a three-year signing of outfielder Michael Cuddyer to a three-year, $31.5 million contract, a Major League source confirmed to MLB.com on Friday morning.
The right-handed hitting Cuddyer, 32, hit .284 with 20 home runs and 70 RBIs for the Twins last season. He has hit at least 20 homers three times in his career, including a career-high 32 in 2009. In 1,139 career games, all with the Twins, Cuddyer is a .272 hitter with 141 homers and 580 RBIs.
Cuddyer figures to fit in the lineup in left field, but also could move to first base on days Todd Helton is not in the lineup. The Rockies could use him in the No. 5 spot behind shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, or at No. 6 if the Rockies want the left-handed hitting Todd Helton to continue to bat behind Tulowitzki.
The Rockies also were looking to re-make the flavor of the clubhouse, after finishing 73-89 last season and not showing the toughness that had become a trademark of the club in recent seasons. The team has added a pair of veterans via free agency – catcher Ramon Hernandez for two years and $6.4 million, and Cuddyer.
The Rockies still aren't likely to be done with building the 2012 roster. Left-handed hitting left fielder Seth Smith is the team's main trading chip, who figures to be supplanted by Cuddyer, is the team's main chip in attempts to deal to fill other holes. A key one is the need for a starting pitcher capable of 200 innings, with left-hander Jorge De La Rosa having to come back from Tommy John elbow surgery and out until sometime around June .
The Rockies rid themselves of $7 million in salary by dealing relief pitcher Huston Street to the Padres and further trimming the payroll of a projected $2.6 million when they sent arbitration-eligible third baseman Ian Stewart to the Cubs as part of a four-player trade, the Rockies achieved enough payroll relief to make an offer to an outfielder.
But signing Cuddyer means the Rockies will not be able to continue to pursue Hiroki Kuroda, a right-hander reportedly looking for a one-year deal in the $13 million range.
The Rockies began pursuing Cuddyer early in the free-agency period, but needed the market to fall into place. That occurred on Tuesday, when news surfaced that outfielder Josh Willingham moved toward accepting an offer from the Twins. The original thought Twins were not going to sign both players, but the Twins remained in the running.
According to reports, the Phillies and Mariners were still trying to sign Cuddyer as of Thursday.

Rox talk to Cuddyer; Twins back in the mix
Negotiations continued Thursday between the Rockies and free-agent outfielder Michael Cuddyer. The Mariners, Phillies and a somewhat unexpected suitor, the Twins, are also in the mix. It's not clear how quickly the Rockies or anyone else can come to an agreement.
Cuddyer has spent his entire Major League career with the Twins, who made him a three-year offer. It was believed that the Twins were no longer a possibility when outfielder Josh Willingham signed for three years and $21 million. But multiple reports said the Twins had not dropped out of the running.
The Rockies' prime focus is Cuddyer. The team has expressed interest in six-time All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran, but he is considered a longshot for the Rockies, mainly because of health concerns. Beltran has dealt with serious knee issues, including arthroscopic surgeries on both of them before the 2007 season and a further surgery on the right knee in 2010. The Mets had to be careful with his playing time early last season. Beltran put up strong numbers after being traded to the Giants for their lat-season run. However, the Giants have not signed him even though they have a need in the outfield.
Cody Ross remains a possibility to be signed to work in a tandem in left field with Seth Smith. If Cuddyer is signed, expect the Rockies to attempt to trade Smith to fill other holes.
– Thomas Harding
Low-cost pitching options abound for Angels
The question is how long they're willing to wait out the likes of C.J. Wilson and Ryan Madson. As The Los Angeles Times pointed out on Monday — Day 1 of the Winter Meetings — new general manager Jerry DiPoto plans to meet with Wilson's agent here in Dallas. Frankly, why wouldn't he? The real question is whether it's possible — or even practical — for the Angels to fork over most of their remaining payroll on one arm, to address the best aspect of the team no less.
If they don't want to go that route, or commit to Madson — remember, the Phillies reportedly offered four years at $44 million — there are a few low-cost options to be had.
Starting pitcher-wise, Mark Buehrle is the logical fit. Problem: A lot of teams want him, and he's said to be looking for a no-trade clause as part of at least a three-year deal. Some other lefties to keep in mind: Jeff Francis (4.82 ERA in 31 starts for the Royals last year), Erik Bedard (3.62 ERA in 24 starts for the Red Sox and Mariners) and Paul Maholm (3.66 ERA in 26 starts for the Pirates).
As for the right-handed bullpen arms, there are plenty from which to choose. The most intriguing may be Octavio Dotel, because of how well he pitched down the stretch for the World Series-champion Cardinals and because of his experience as both a setup man and closer. Dotel (38) shifted from a Type A free agent to a Type B under the new CBA, so he won't cost the team that signs him a Draft pick.
Some others: LaTroy Hawkins, Francisco Cordero, Takahashi Saito, Frank Francisco, Mike MacDougal, Scott Linebrink and Luis Ayala, among a host of others.
– Alden Gonzalez
Pence: 'I love Houston'
With the Astros possibly getting closer to a deal to trade Hunter Pence, the right-fielder admitted following Thursday night's win over the Cardinals that he couldn't help but think it might have been his last game in an Astros uniform.
"What can I say? I'm not in control," he said. "I love these guys, I love Houston. That's all I know."
The Phillies are pushing hard for Pence and could be willing to offer pitcher Vance Worley, outfielder Domonic Brown and a Minor League pitcher.
Pence went 2-for-4 with two doubles on Thursday to raise his average to .309, saying he benefited from a day off.
"Sometimes when you get to watch a game you know it kind of slows things down for you," he said. "Things were piling up and was making mistakes of the past and trying to do too much just to make up for it. It made me realize…slow the game down."
– Brian McTaggart
Padres have attractive pieces to move
San Diego general manager Jed Hoyer has been busy in recent weeks fielding calls from other teams about relievers who are expected to be available — three-time All-Star Heath Bell, Chad Qualls and, quite possibly, Mike Adams.
The Padres are also looking to move left fielder Ryan Ludwick to a team looking for a right-handed, middle-of-the-order bat.
But, make no mistake, the relievers are getting the most hits.
Bell will be a free agent after the season, so he might end up a rental for a team. If that's the case, it won't be easy to land a big prospect package.
Qualls, after a terrible 2010 season, has reestablished himself as a viable late-inning reliever as his hard sinker has returned.
Adams is a wild card here. Many view him as a future close, a spot he figures to land in if the Padres traded Bell.
He's under team control through 2012 and would get the Padres the best package of prospects if they decided to deal him.
What are the Padres looking for?
Keep this in mind: Upside, impact players. Their farm system doesn't have too many players ready to graduate to the Major League level. I would expect the Padres to ask for a shortstop/second baseman and catcher in return when they choose to make a deal.
The Phillies and Reds have more of these pieces than, say, the Cardinals. The Cardinals aren't going to part with Shelby Miller and they don't have a lot of prospects close to the Major Leagues.
The next two weeks should be interesting. Teams aren't nearly as willing to part with prospects as they once were. Will the Padres land the upside/impact prospects they covet?
Stay tuned.
