Wide receiver was upset when Aaron Hernandez got paid Brad Biggs
Ready for another bizarre story involving Percy Harvin, the talented yet sometimes disruptive wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings.
Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Vikings could be poised to part ways with Harvin, who is under contract through 2013, if they land Mike Wallace, the prize of the free-agent market in the estimation of many.
Surely, the Vikings will have to overpay for Wallace, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. That is the nature of free agency. But landing Wallace could then allow the Vikings to shop Harvin, something that general manager Rick Spielman has adamantly denied is happening to this point.
Cole reports Harvin believes he has value approaching Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions and is a class above Vincent Jackson and Dwayne Bowe, who have established market value at about $11 per season, well short of the $16.5 million Johnson's deal averages.
So, it would be difficult for the Vikings to sign Havin for the long haul at this point and after repeated run-ins with the franchise, could Minnesota trust Harvin? According to Cole, Harvin threatened to walk out on the team before the start of last season after New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, a teammate of Harvin's at Florida, received a contract extension after only two seasons in the NFL.
Harvin has said his issues in the past with the club were not about money. The old adage, of course, is when they say it's not about money, it's only about money. The Vikings will need a lot of it to lure Wallace, who might not be excited to play with quarterback Christian Ponder. If they can, it will make it easier to deal Harvin but the Vikings will need to find a club secure enough to handle the volatile playmaker.

There could be a Colt McCoy sighting in Oakland this Sunday.
That's because Brandon Weeden left the Browns win over Pittsburgh (read that several times real fast) with a concussion. Weeden was hurt when Jason Worilds spun him around and threw him to the ground like a rag doll. As he landed, Weeden's head hit the leg of Joe Thomas, who was blocking James Harrison.
Had Weeden hit Harrison's leg, it could have been said that Harrison knocked another Brown out of the game, without even trying.
Alas we digress.
Weeden did not return to the game, and McCoy replaced him, but he did not throw a pass — a decision as much a result of the situation as anything. I think.
The Browns led, and were trying to run out the clock. So they ran six times — and Trent Richardson gained 10 yards and got away with a fumble because of a poor ruling by Ron Winters that his forward progress was stopped.
That fumble could have changed the result, but the ruling was not reviewable.
Weeden was hurt with just more than five minutes left.
"He's being treated for a concussion," coach Pat Shurmur said. "But we'll see where that goes. Some guys come back quickly, some guys don't. We'll just have to see where that's at. He was responsive."
Given the Browns are flying cross-country later this week, it's possible the Browns will leave Weeden in Cleveland if he's not completely and fully recovered.
Because this much is certain: Given the hit involves the Steelers and a Browns quarterback, the Browns will be super-extra careful regarding Weeden.

Osho continues:
"A part of man will remain in the past and part of man will remain in the future – the yet unborn. And these two will go on continuously fighting within the heart of man: the good and the bad or the night and the day, life and deathor whatsoever you want to call the polarity.
"Because of this polarity, whatsoever you do is only halfhearted. It never gives satisfaction. You cannot withdraw from it and you cannot be committed in it totally. You love, but the love is halfhearted. Nothing happens out of it; you remain the same. You meditate, but the meditation is halfhearted. Nothing happens out of it, because you have never moved in it totally. And all happening is possible only in total involvement: when you are not left behind – you have moved completely, utterly completely, there is no holding backa jump. In that jump the past disappears, the future disappears. Just here and now, being arises.
"That being is what we mean by God. You carry that possibility within you, but you go on fighting within the opposites, and because of this fight and turmoil you cannot see who you are, you cannot feel that which you are already, Deep, hidden within your own being, is the truth. But the enemy is also within and the friend also. The beloved is within and the wicked one also is within you. This has to be understood, because the very understanding will become a freedom, a liberation.
"One of Jesus' very significant parables has lost completely. In Luke just a reference is made, but the complete parable is not in any of the authorized gospels, not even in the fifth gospel of Thomas. But some hidden sources, some secret societies, have continuously been meditating on that parable. I would like to tell you. The parable is so significant that maybe because of its significance it has not been included in the authorized gospels. The parable seems to be dangerous. The implications of it are of tremendous import and significance.
"The parable is about someone secretly sowing weeds in a wheat field while the master and his servants were sleeping. The servants were all for cutting them out quickly, but the master said that one could separate the wheat from the tares more effectively at harvest time."

Boyfriend chase leads to crashes, then arrest
By DOUG CARDER, Herald Senior Writer | 5/2/2014
WILLIAMSBURG — It wasn't exactly demolition derby. But it was close.
Kevin Hartpence didn't like what he saw in his rearview mirror.
WILLIAMSBURG — It wasn't exactly demolition derby. But it was close.
Kevin Hartpence didn't like what he saw in his rearview mirror.
The 31-year-old Williamsburg man called the Franklin County 911 dispatch center to report he was being chased by his girlfriend Sidney Hansen. The 18-year-old Quenemo woman was bearing down on his dark-colored sport utility vehicle with her 1998 Buick LeSabre.
The pursuit began around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in front of a residence in Williamsburg after the two had been in an argument, according to a Franklin County Sheriff's Office report. The chase lasted for about 15 minutes — winding through rural Franklin County before ending in Williamsburg, the report said.
During the chase, Hansen wrecked her LeSabre twice — once in the 1300 block of Alabama Road when the vehicle struck a guard rail, and again at the intersection of Ellis Terrace and Alabama Road when the car went into the ditch and struck a fence post, according to a sheriff's report.
Unharmed, Hansen remained behind the wheel and returned to Williamsburg, where the dented LeSabre was stopped by Franklin County Sheriff's deputies in the 100 block of West William Street, the report said.
Hansen was arrested by sheriff's deputies at 8:13 p.m. Wednesday and charged with two counts of reckless driving and two counts of leaving the scene of the accident in connection with the two wrecks, the report said.
She remained in the Franklin County Adult Detention Center, 305 S. Main St., Ottawa, Friday afternoon, awaiting a court appearance.

Monroe County cuts ties with Navitech
Rochester, N.Y. - Navitech, the company whose owner is under indictment in a public corruption case, will no longer manage contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars for Monroe County.
The county and the local development corporations, or LDCs, that oversee these contracts will sever ties with Navitech this spring.
The boards of two LDCs met Thursday morning and announced they plan to cut ties with the company by April 1, or May 1 at the latest.
For years, Navitech has managed two contracts totaling more than $300-million dollars of taxpayer money.
One contract focused on phone, computer, and technology systems. The other handled a county-wide build-up of public safety and security systems.
A key project is nearly complete.
"We've been working on this launch project for several years now and the launch project is nearly 99-point-something percent done and it just seemed a natural termination point with Navitech's contract to finish the launch project and then move on from there," said Hank Stuart, chair of UTS and M3S boards.
But these LDCs came under fire in November when four men were indicted on criminal charges.
One of those men is Navitech's owner, John Maggio, who faces ten criminal charges. These LDCs will now take Navitech's place in managing these projects.
"I think the LDC has a very strong board," said Stuart. "I think it serves its purpose well and I think the LDC will continue as an organization, for sure."
Following the arrests of those four men last year, County Executive Maggie Brooks called on the LDCs to end the contracts with Navitech.
A specific reason as to why that request was made has never been given.
**UPDATE: The lawyers for two men charged in a Monroe County public corruption case are asking the judge to dismiss some of the charges against their clients.
Navitech owner John Maggio's lawyer cited legal issues and statute of limitations problems in arguing that charges be dropped against his client.
Dan Lynch, a salesman and consultant, is named in all 25 counts of the criminal indictment and his lawyer is asking the judge to dismiss 15 of those charges.
A hearing on these requests is scheduled for March.
Read the documents filed by Dan Lynch's lawyer here and here.

Alumnet Simmons College
300 The FenwayBoston, MA
Commitment to Education Inspires Gifts Benefiting Students, Faculty
$350,000 Supports Scholarship and New Award for Teaching
(February 4, 2013) -- Trustee Toby M. Sloane '60 and husband Carl S. Sloane share a commitment to supporting education with their philanthropy. Their latest gift to Simmons adds $250,000 to the Sloane Family Scholarship Fund, and provides $100,000 to establish a new award recognizing excellence in "student centeredness" in teaching.
Trustee Toby M. Sloane '60 and husband Carl S. Sloane
"For many students, money for tuition is tight and hard to come by. But if you help a student afford an education, it's something they'll have forever. No one can take it away," says Toby Sloane, who notes that her husband originally created the family's scholarship fund to mark a special birthday of hers. "If any Simmons alumnae were helped, I encourage them to give back and help others." This year's recipient of the Sloane Family Endowed Scholarship is Ellen Girouard '14.
"I cannot express how thankful I am to have received the generous Sloane Family Scholarship. Simmons has been a great experience both inside and outside the classroom; I feel as though I am getting a top-notch education from the professors. The College has helped me become a stronger woman and gain valuable life skills."
- Ellen Girouard '14
Carl Sloane also initiated the Toby Sloane Award for Student Centeredness in Teaching in his wife's honor. "There are extraordinary teachers in this world who touch students in ways that really alters their life trajectories. We should celebrate those teachers at Simmons who take an extraordinary interest in their students and really impact their lives," he says.
Creating a student-centered culture is a strategic priority for Simmons, and the Toby Sloane Award supports it by providing an annual award of up to $10,000 to the faculty member who makes the most significant contribution to the student experience in a particular year. The first "Toby" award was presented to Professor Donna Beers of the mathematics department.
In addition to her current service as a trustee, Toby Sloane's active support for Simmons has included membership on the Alumnae Association Executive Board, and establishing the Toby M. Sloane Endowed Fund for Hillel at Simmons. Last spring she was inducted into the College's Lifetime Giving Society.
The first Toby Sloane Award for Student Centeredness in Teaching was presented to Donna Beers, a professor of mathematics, who has been at Simmons for 27 years. The annual award provides prizes of up to $10,000 and was created by Carl S. Sloane in honor of his wife, Simmons Trustee Toby M. Sloane '60, to recognize and promote excellence in student-centeredness in teaching.
"The fact that this award honors student-centered teaching is especially meaningful to me. That's what Simmons is all about," says Beers. "Students come to my classroom to learn the beauty of mathematics, but also the real-world applications. I hope they come away nurtured and encouraged to make a difference."

British fans feelin' handball fever
Inside the Olympic Park, the handball venue is the "Box That Rocks."
DID YOU KEEP TRACK?Luckily for you, we did. Nation-by-nation medal count.
The so-called Copper Box is earning a reputation for generating some of the wildest and loudest crowds of the London Games — a surprise for many in a country without an Olympic handball history or victory.
The cheering, whistling and roaring comes from the stands, while the grunts and cries emerge from the parquet as bodies crash into each other. Luckily for fans, this physical and fast-paced sport is teeming with national rivalries and delivers plenty of goals.
"The buzz in handball is incredible. It's beyond our wildest dreams," Britain men's player Mark Hawkins said. "(The Copper Box) is the best place in the world at the moment."
Handball sees players dribbling and passing their way up and down the court, often relying on no-look passes and neat flicks to help open up the tightly packed defense. The continued pulse of banging bodies seems to be striking a cord with the public as players fly through air toward goal, hanging as long as possible for the goalkeeper to reveal an open spot where they can send a 62-mph shot into the net.
"We came here because it was the only ticket we could get. We watched for the first time last week, and it's really fast and not too technical, so we were really excited to get down here and it was even better in real life," said Adrian Green, 43, and from Hertfordshire, who was watching alongside his 10-year-old son Luis. "It's attractive because you think how great a sport it is since you can play that on the beach or with your friends."
The sport was developed in Denmark, Sweden and Germany in the late 19th century and was first introduced into the games in 1936. It has long been dominated by European countries, most notably from Scandinavia and southern Europe, with France the reigning Olympic men's winners and Norway holding the women's title.
Britain's men and women's teams were forced to build from scratch after London won the right to host the Olympics back in 2004.
TWEET-NESS!How are the athletes adjusting to the Olympics being over? See their latest tweets.
British players were identified through camps and scouting, and convinced to quit their studies or jobs and travel to a sports academy in Aarhus, Denmark, to receive the training needed to provide quality opposition at the Olympics. The women are led by a Danish coach, the men by a Serb.
The British teams haven't won a game so far — or even come close to a victory — but still regularly leave the floor to a standing ovation.
Like the fans, the players seem convinced that the reception received means this could be a sport with long-term possibilities in Britain.
"It's like everybody is loving handball, discovering handball and loving it and we are really proud that they are enjoying it and instigating that," said women's player Marie Gerbon, who scored nine goals in Britain's 31-25 loss to Angola on Friday. "I've never played in such a big hall. I've already been in crowds like that — in the crowd cheering, not playing."
Britain's women have rallied around the tag line "From Zero to Hero."
"It was never going to be easy. (But) this is just the beginning for us, I hope everyone realizes that," Britain left wing Holly Lam-Moores said. "We've worked so hard the last six years. We're just learning to walk now, in four years we'll be running and eight years we'll be sprinting to win medals."
For all of the organizers' talk about Olympics legacy, handball may be one that sticks.
"This is my first time at the Olympics and I am very impressed with the overall atmosphere which is very inspiring especially here at the Copper Box," South Korea's Sim Hae-in said on Friday. "I was surprised how popular handball was and how many fans turned up to watch a handball game. It's brilliant."

@feruze-- Salametti is just "small salami" so the history of salami and salametti are pretty much the same.
I know that the word "salami" comes from "salare" which means "to salt". Salami and other Italian charcuterie are made by salting and drying.
I don't know when salami and salametti were introduced to other regions but I think it's probably fairly recent. The history of salametti goes back to the 16th century and mostly it was made from pork. Beef salametti itself is much more recent than pork. If pork is not eaten at all in the Middle East, they may have been introduced to it much later when beef salametti became popular.
It might have been developed simultaneously too. I think all nomadic cultures have a history of using salt to preserve foods. So I wouldn't be surprised if different versions of salami and salametti were made simultaneously in other parts of the world.

CHARLOTTE -- Nelson Mandela inspired millions to fight for civil rights and social justice, including his own grandson, a student at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte. Dr. Ronald Carter, the president of JCSU, said in a statement:
"We at Johnson C. Smith University are deeply saddened by the death of former President Nelson Mandela...His life's work will stand as an example for people around the world who are committed to social justice, social change and affirming the human dignity of every individual." JCSU student Zwelabo Mandela, Nelson Mandela's grandson, is committed to serving the city of Charlotte. He's carrying on his grandfather's legacy to help revitalize one of the city's blighted neighborhoods. "I've been here two and a half years," said Zwelabo, in an interview with News 14 this August. "I've fallen in love with the people. I've fallen in love with the town." In August, Zwelabo talked about a JCSU initiative to revitalize the area around campus. "It's a juxtaposed position," he said. "As soon as you walk out the door you see the city here, and then you look to your left and there's Beatties Ford Road and it looks like it's eroding and it's really sad." It's clear Zwelabo shares his grandfather's optimism and passion, as he echoes one of Mandela's most famous quotes: "It always seems impossible until it's done." "We can do something really great," Zwelabo said. "Because this is a beautiful place." Zwelabo cites Mandela as an inspiration in the work he's doing in Charlotte. "When I'm just talking about my grandfather, removing the titles and all the work that he's done, there's basically what he's instilled in my life, and that's a hard work ethic as it pertains to education," said Zwelabo Mandela.

Supporting the SOPA/PIPA strike
This site has opted not to be among those striking in protest over the SOPA and PIPA measures in Congress; we chose to explain our view here instead. But we do strongly support the effort, and agree that those two measures – billed as anti-piracy but carrying a prospective reach much broader and much more dangerous – must be stopped.
Some of the leading figures in working to stop these measures do come from the Northwest, including Senators Ron Wyden – one of the first to stand up on it, bring national visibility to it, and the prime backer of a filibuster-if-necessary – and Maria Cantwell. Most members of the Northwest delegation haven't yet made a clear statement of support or opposition to the bills. A request from here: Urge them to oppose the bills, and soon.
A good but simple introduction to the problems involved is available. The strike's page is online (at last check).Share on Facebook

They're Back! Fisher Price Picture Disk Camera & Change A Tune Piano
Here at BG we're all major lovers of vintage Fisher Price toys (lot of stalking of eBay plus car boot sales / church fairs good) and I'm loving the reintroduction of the classic Picture Disk camera from 1968 and the Change A Tune piano from 1969 for modern kids to fall in love with all over again and big kids to get all nostalgic over and have a not so sneaky play with.
The camera, £22.95, comes with three picture disks, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, nursery rhymes, and animals and their babies, which as I'm sure we all remember, the disks are inserted and your child presses the shutter to move the images along. Wind the dial on the side of the piano, £24.95, for tunes or they can tinker around with the keys and play their own tunes. From Hackney based Hop! Toy Shop both online and in store.

Well, my little girl just saw this post, pointed to the camera and stated 'oooooo like this one'. Girl's got taste, it's officially on the Xmas wish list now!

Very intelligent workforce; excellent salaries, benefits, bonuses; many avenues for learning - rotations in departments, training programs, and some really good people who are willing to teach you things and share their ideas. We can challenge ideas freely. While there's always a lot of change going on, it's a great company and our CEO is really approachable and totally gets it. There is a friendly, family-like atmosphere, very casual. It's easy to look forward to going to work.Cons
We could update some of our internal technologies and maybe run certain areas more efficiently but the company is always looking at ways to improve so I have no complaints!Advice to ManagementAdvice
It seems like the board of directors has always been too conservative to give good advice to a tech company so I would say to try and get more tech savvy and younger members on the board. They should be more willing to take risks on future technologies. We are extremely smart engineers and management has good ideas. I always have gotten the impression that the board blocks a lot of the more risky and interesting ideas.RecommendsApproves of CEO

This is my submission to Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival for February 2013.
This is in response to the post 20 Days of Gold Making – Community Idea from Auction House Addict.
Question #1 is: When did you start gold making & what triggered it?
I started attempting to make gold as soon as I started playing WoW. It seemed to me like an obvious and natural part of the game. For a while, I figured it was something everybody did. Auctioneer was the first addon I installed. After every play session I would hearth back to Darnassus to scan the auction house and post my various meats and gear and whatever else I happened to find. This was before I realized how convenient a bank alt would be and way before I figured out how to get my Night Elf to Stormwind where the Auction House/Bank/Mail Box juxtaposition is much more convenient (or actually just roll a human and run him over). I didn't really know what I was doing. I was just blindly following the recommendations of Auctioneer. Despite my inexperience, I had enough small AH victories to keep me in the gold making game for the long haul.
Stay tuned for Day 2: If you set yourself a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?

text: Did you know that December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month? Alcohol and drug-impaired driving is a serious issue on our roadways. The annual costs alone for accidents related to impaired driving is more than $51 billion. If that isn't enough to make you stop and think, consider this; someone is killed every 48 minutes because a driver made the irresponsible decision to get behind the wheel while under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. Unfortunately, impaired drivers are not the only people causing chaos on the roads; thanks to technology, we have a new breed of distracted drivers hitting the streets. Last year, an estimated 421,000 people were involved in accidents where the driver was engaged in some activity that kept his/her eyes off the road. Those under the age of 20 are especially vulnerable. Cells phone use is one of the biggest culprits, but drivers have also lost their lives while playing with their iPods, watching videos, or using their navigation systems. Many organizations are concerned with the increase in deaths among young people and have launched programs to help educate today's youth about the dangers of drunk or distracted driving. Some are even offering scholarships for those who pledge to be responsible when sitting in the driver's seat. Here are just a few making the rounds right now.

Great Lakes:
A Comprehensive Strategy and Monitoring System Are Needed to Achieve Restoration Goals
GAO-04-782T: Published: May 21, 2004. Publicly Released: May 21, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The five Great Lakes, which comprise the largest system of freshwater in the world, are threatened on many environmental fronts. To address the extent of progress made in restoring the Great Lakes Basin, which includes the lakes and surrounding area, GAO (1) identified the federal and state environmental programs operating in the basin and funding devoted to them, (2) evaluated the restoration strategies used and how they are coordinated, and (3) assessed overall environmental progress made in the basin restoration effort.
There are 148 federal and 51 state programs funding environmental restoration activities in the Great Lakes Basin. Most of these programs are nationwide or statewide programs that do not specifically focus on the Great Lakes. However, GAO identified 33 federal Great Lakes specific programs, and 17 additional unique Great Lakes specific programs funded by states. Although Great Lakes funding is not routinely tracked for many of these programs, we identified a total of about $3.6 billion in basin-specific projects for fiscal years 1992 through 2001. Several disparate Great Lakes environmental strategies are being used at the binational, federal, and state levels. Currently, these strategies are not coordinated in a way that ensures effective use of limited resources. Without such coordination it is difficult to determine the overall progress of restoration efforts. The Water Quality Act of 1987 charged EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office with the responsibility for coordinating federal actions for improving Great Lakes' water quality; however, the office has not fully exercised this authority to this point. With available information, current environmental indicators do not allow a comprehensive assessment of restoration progress in the Great Lakes. Current indicators rely on limited quantitative data and subjective judgments to determine whether conditions are improving, such as whether fish are safe to eat. The ultimate success of an ongoing binational effort to develop a set of overall indicators for the Great Lakes is uncertain because it relies on the resources voluntarily provided by several organizations. Further, no date for completing a final list of indicators has been established.

Healing with music
Updated On: May 10 2013 06:20:00 AM EDT
Whether it's pop, hip-hop, country, or classical, we all have favorite songs that make us move or simply move us. But could music help as we battle different diseases and conditions?
Danielle Decosmo's stage is a hospital room.
"It just uplifts you," said Virginia, who is a cancer patient.
The hospital volunteer plays for cancer patients like Virginia.
"It does a lot towards helping you get the right attitude to heal, instead of feeling down and sorry for yourself," said Virginia's husband David.
"I do see a change often," said Decosmo. "I definitely think music helps people heal."
Board Certified Music Therapist Elizabeth Stegemoller knows it does.
"Music stimulates multiple areas of the brain," she said.
The neuroscience PhD specializes in Parkinson's and says walking in time with music can help patients overcome walking difficulties.
"If you have a person with a motor disorder, you can use music to help facilitate movement," explained Stegemoller.
She tells us after singing training, Parkinson's patients' speech can improve too.
A program at Saint Louis University is testing if music improves cancer treatment by decreasing patients' stress. Research at the University of Kentucky found it did reduce surgery patients' pain and recovery time. And it's been shown to increase Alzheimer's patients' cognitive function. Stegemoller says, more research is needed to find out what music changes in the brain.
"There's a lot of theories out there as to why it's working, so now those theories need to be tested," Stegemoller said.
In the meantime, music seems to be making Virginia's treatment a little more bearable.
"You just feel good," Virginia said.
Music programs for vets with P.T.S.D. are showing promise. A study funded by the VA found vets given six weeks of guitar lessons reported a 21 percent reduction in overall symptoms and a 37 percent increase in health related quality of life.

Makeover Story: Kids Guest Room
See how one couple gave their spare space a playful yet chic update
By Ayn-Monique Klahre
Room to Spare
Though Susan and Mark Edelstein's son and daughter long ago left their Pacific Palisades, California, home, the 65-year-old couple still has children sleeping under their roof once a week. And it was important to them that the kids—grandchildren Lulu, 11, Presley, 6, and Dashiell, 2—have a room to call their own. "I wanted a space for boys and girls so they'd all be comfortable," says Susan. Enter interior designer Erinn Valencich of Erinn V Design Group, who created a fun yet functional room full of childproof furnishings so that everyone can rest easy.

It's hard to imagine how anyone so joyfully sharp-tongued could have worked so long in the shadows, singing background harmony for the likes of Morrissey, former lead singer of the Smiths, and the Rolling Stones. Kirsty MacColl daughter of Scottish folksinger Ewan MacColl did record an album of her own in 1981. But it was released only in England, where two singles became chart hits.
Now she explodes in a jangle of massed guitars as many as five at once singing country-tinged songs notable as much for their point of view as for their sound and melodic snap. Her targets include men who sleep with women and then act as if they'd never seen them before (''Don't Come the Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim''), party girls who don't know they'll have to grow up (''What Do Pretty Girls Do?''), and the policies of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (''Free World'').
Other songwriters have shot arrows at those targets before. But one thing that sets MacColl apart is her tartness. ''There's Suzy-Ann with her tits and curls,'' she spits in ''Fifteen Minutes,'' a song about empty glamour and temporary fame. And here's how a coldhearted cowboy ends a romp with some poor deluded woman: ''The boots just go back on/The socks that had stayed on.''
MacColl can be tender, too, even sonically. She cushions the blare of all those rampant guitars with violins six at a time and the bright harmony of her own voice multitracked against itself. But it's her edge you're likely to remember.

Data Security | News
Microsoft released Security Advisory 2501696 in response a scripting vulnerability in Internet Explorer that affects all versions of Windows.
The security hazard is found in the MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML (MHTML) protocol handler. The attach mechanism is similar to a server-side cross-site-scripting (XSS) exploit, in which a malicious script could run on a user's computer after clicking on a link.
While this vulnerability could be exploited by hackers, the chances of an attack are slim, according to some software security analysts.
"At first glance today's advisory looks grim because it affects every supported Windows platform," wrote Andrew Storms, director of information and technology at software security firm nCircle, in a released statement. "However, even though the proof of concept code is public, carrying out an attack using this complicated cross site scripting-like bug will not be easy."
While there currently is no patch to fix the vulnerability, Microsoft suggested a workaround. This mitigation approach disables MHTML handler scripting by setting all corresponding keys in the Windows registry. Microsoft issued a "Fix it" in a KnowledgeBase article to automate the workaround.
Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, offered another option to avoid the vulnerability: use an alternative browser.
"While the vulnerability is located in a Windows component, Internet Explorer is the only known attacker vector," Kandek wrote in a blog posting. "Firefox and Chrome are not affected in their default configuration, as they do not support MHTML without the installation of specific add-on modules."
The hole was first brought to the attention by individuals on the WooYun Web site. This is the same site that divulged information about the vulnerability in the CSS handler of Internet Explorer in December.
Coupled with a handful of security concerns last month, Microsoft has been busy with multiple vulnerabilities as of late. "2011 is not off to an auspicious start for Microsoft's security staff," wrote Storms. "In early January Jonathan Ness posted an explanation of five public security bugs Microsoft was tracking to the SRD blog. Today, just two short weeks later, we have another one to add to the list."

Recent Trends in Private Student Loans
The market for private student loans is constantly changing. As recently as three years ago, scores of lenders participated in the private student lending business, offering a wide variety of products for different types of students at competitive rates. However, the credit crisis of late 2007/early 2008 sparked a major shift in how private student loans are funded, and thus offered to you, the consumer.
The credit crisis has changed, perhaps forever, how you obtain a private student loan from a lender, a dynamic that is helpful to understand as you shop for a private student loan.
Follow along below for a detailed analysis of these trends and what they mean for you as you consider a private student loan.
The Credit Crisis – a Meltdown that Affected Everyone
Everyone has heard of the credit crisis and how the mess on Wall Street has affected Main Street. Private student loans are no exception.
In 2007, there we more than 80 lenders offering a variety of private student loan products to students. The reason there were so many lenders is because Wall Street made "oceans of capital" available to these lenders. Lenders would make loans to students and then eventually sell these loans to a Wall Street facilitated "Issuer" of Asset-Backed Securities (ABS). An investor could invest in a slice of this ABS and have comfort in knowing that the Issuer's debt was guaranteed/backed by the cashflows earned by the private student loans underlying the ABS.
Because there was so much demand for these securities (also known as "liquidity") lenders had many options for how they could fund their loans. In the old days, it was fairly simple: banks used the deposits they collected from their customers and then lent those deposits out as private student loans.
However, with all this new liquidity there was a new form of lender, known as a finance lender, who could participate in the market without having to be a deposit-collecting bank. A Finance Lender could obtain a line of credit from another bank or financial institution, lend private loans to a student, and then earn income from the "spread" or difference between the income the lender paid for the line of credit and the interest the lender collected from the student. The Finance Lender also earned a premium for selling those loans to an Issuer who would add those loans to the pools underlying the ABS.
When the credit crisis broke out, the Liquidity dried up and the ABS market was shut down completely. With nowhere to sell their loans, Finance Lenders saw their credit lines pulled from their funding sources. The private student loan market dropped from over 80 lenders to less than 10. The only lenders remaining were those who could continue to tap bank deposits to fund their loans and hold those loans on their balance sheets.
After the Crisis – Advantage Big Lender
What do you think happens when a market of 80 lenders reduces to a market of less than 10 large banks? You guessed it – decreased competition. The lenders who were left standing found themselves in a more advantageous position than they were before. 2008 marked a tough year for students. With less lending capital available, students were faced with rising rates and stricter credit criteria. It was not uncommon to see students and co-signers with good credit scores see rates of 10-12% with 4% or higher origination fees.
Enter the Credit Unions and Small Banks
2009 was not much different than 2008, but with a glimmer of hope for students. Out of nowhere over 100 credit unions and some smaller community banks entered the private student loan market. These lenders, often not-for-profit, offered very attractive rates with credit criteria that were less strict than many of their competitors. Students were starting to see rates of 5-8% with zero origination fees. Unfortunately, these credit unions only had so much capital to offer the market. In a market of $10 billion, credit unions and small banks represented only $300 million – a small market share.
2010 – The Year of the Consumer
As credit unions and community banks continue to enter the space, the market is experiencing more competition. In addition, with the elimination of the FFELP loan program, it is more important than ever for lenders to win private student loan business in order to establish a relationship with the coveted "millennial consumer." Over the course of the past few months, the largest lenders have lowered their rates in response to increased competition from these smaller lenders who have entered the space. As of this writing, there are more than 250 small banks that have entered the lending space. These lenders are contributing more and more capital and eating away at the market share of the largest lenders. In addition, families can now take advantage of expert tools such as the Student Loan Marketplace to assist them with finding the most favorable rates and terms on their loans.
What does this mean for your family?
Make sure to comparison shop for the loan that best fits your family's financial situation, taking into account loan options from both national banks and from credit unions or community banks. By carefully comparing loan rates and terms such as Total Cost, Monthly Payment, Interest Rates and Fees, you can determine which loan option is the best for your future.
The Student Loan Marketplace is a great starting point for this task, as we provide you with accurate, side-by-side loan comparisons with "apples-to-apples" calculations of these rates and terms.

The Site for Home Theater and Movie Reviews
Denon AVR-3311CI Home Theater Receiver Review
Sometimes Change is Good
I don't deal with change very well. My wife once moved my pear preserves from the bottom shelf of the fridge to the one right above it. They may as well have been in a refrigerator in Guadalajara in an alternate universe, as far as I was concerned. When Sunfire added protruding knobs to its fifth-generation Theater Grand Processor, I threw a hissy fit of Sheldon proportions. In print, no less.
Turn and Face the Strain
So the first time I fired up Denon's AVR-3311CI A/V receiver and found myself faced with a shiny new interface unlike anything I've ever seen from the company, I very nearly boxed it back up and returned it, un-reviewed, with a terse note attached: "To whom it may concern, It is to Denon receivers of old that I dedicate this note, in honor of the holiday they seem to have taken from these parts and in recognition of the imposter that stands in their stead." Never mind the chintzy remote that comes with Denon receivers these days (two, in fact), in contrast to the beautiful, hefty controllers from just a few years ago; it's been ages since I used a pack-in remote, anyway. Mess with my menus, though, and I take it personally.
I've been reviewing and recommending Denon receivers for years, and I've set more of them up for friends than I care to count. That old Denon interface was one I knew and loved, one I could navigate deftly and easily. And yes, it's been a couple of years since I cracked open a new Denon box. I expected and looked forward to new features -- Audyssey DSX! AirPlay! Height channels! Oh, my! -- but an entirely new menu system? Balderdash. Shenanigans. Bah and humbug.
Apparently Christmas miracles do happen, though, and apparently I am amenable to change when it's for the better, because before I could add Regards and a signature to my pithy missive, I found myself falling in love with Denon's new GUI. It exudes the sort of elegance that the receiver's exterior deserves, although, truth be told, I'm making a lot of fuss about menus that you'll see briefly, probably only once, and soon forget about. Because for as much as it does, the AVR-3311CI is incredibly quick and easy to set up. Perhaps the calculations for the Audyssey MultEQ XT speaker setup and room correction took a bit longer than I remember regular old MultEQ of old taking, but then again, it nailed the distance and level settings for my subwoofer automatically, which may well be the first time in the history of history that has ever happened.
Look out, you rock and rollers
Even network setup was way easier than it had any right to be. The instant I plugged an Ethernet cable into the back of the AVR-3311CI, it made itself at home on my network and, after a quick installation of Denon's control app on my iPod Touch, opened up access to my entire music library at the touch of a virtual button via DLNA. No muss, no fuss. Just a bit of lag. The Denon app is intuitive to navigate, no doubt, but sometimes it feels like it takes longer to begin playing a song than it did to set up the networking in the first place. Then again, only networked audio device I've set up recently that offered less resistance and did a better job of streaming music was PS Audio's $4000 PerfectWave DAC, which says a lot for the Denon.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to check out the AVR-3311CI's AirPlay capabilities, because that update hasn't come down the pipe yet (look for Denon to add AirPlay to the 2010 network-enabled models sometime in January). It's hard to imagine it being much easier than this.
If you're looking for a more direct connection, AVR-3311CI is also iPod compatible out of the box, without a separate dock, via USB. The first time I hooked up my touch, it took quite some time to locate the device, but thereafter, I found it to be quick and responsive, and the onscreen interface is as intuitive as one could hope for.
Watch... err... hear the ripples change their size
And so it goes with everything about the AVR-3311CI. In addition to all the expected codecs and surround options (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.), there are a few less common options. I really didn't tinker too much with the receiver's million-and-three (or maybe it's just seven -- who's counting?) DSP sound modes, but this was my first chance to pit two different surround enhancement options - namly Dolby ProLogic IIz and Audyssey DSX -- head-to-head in the same receiver. And I walked away from the comparison with even more respect for Audyssey.
PLIIz is a nice enhancement to the AVR-3311CI's familiar sound (if you're heard a Denon receiver at this price point, you know what it sounds like: not as bright as other receivers in its class, but beautifully balanced, with exceptional detail and wonderful, natural midrange), adding ambiance and dimensionality to the surround experience. I'm just not sure it's enough ambiance and dimensionality to justify the two additional speakers. At least until there is some real PLIIz-encoded material.
DSX, on the other hand, takes a more aggressive approach to z-axis (height channel) processing, and yes, that means it does occasionally generate a slightly wonky height effect here and there, but on the whole, I found myself more engaged in movies and less focused on the technology with DSX's height channels engaged than with PLIIz, if only because I wasn't constantly wondering if there was anything coming out of my height channels. Somehow, more is less distracting.
Just focusing on the height channels alone ignores the fact that DSX is also capable of adding two more channels to the mix: front width channels, at ±60°, on the same vertical plane as your main speakers. And yeah, when I first read about it I made the face you're probably making now. But after taking my height channels down off the wall and moving them to the sides for an afternoon of testing (my room isn't really conducive to permanent wide-front-channel placement), I'm inclined to agree with Audyssey that extra width adds something genuinely valuable to the mix when properly processed -- way more than surround back channels, in my opinion. With width channels engaged, soundtracks like Inception and Toy Story 3, and especially on-the-fly 5.1 game mixes like Gran Turismo 5's raucous aural experience, really approach that mythical, lifelike, three-dimensional soundfield we all long for.
It's just a shame I couldn't try out Audyssey DSX's height channels and width channels at the same time. Both height and width via DSX are such valuable -- and such different -- additions to the mix that I'd like to hear them together, but the AVR-3311CI only offers seven channels of amplification, so you have to take your pick as to where you want those extra two speakers. That's all the better in my case, because permanently rearranging my furniture is down there with prison sex and injecting botulinum toxin into my face on the bottom of the list of things I want to do, but if you're looking for the full DSX experience, the receiver's lack of amplification channels might be a concern.
What do you know? This thing can trace time
In addition to all of the audio processing, the AVR-3311CI sports above-average video upconversion and noise reduction, with full support for 3D passthrough via its six HDMI 1.4a inputs, analog-input to HDMI-output conversion with 1080p upscaling, as well as Audio Return Channel, Deep Color, and x.v.Color Support.
With my Denon DVD player connected via component and set to 480i, the AVR-3311CI performed satisfactorily with Silicon Optix's HQV Benchmark DVD, passing the jaggies tests when upconverting to 1080p, locking onto the "Super Speedway" film cadence test in less than a second, and even doing a pretty admirable job of noise reduction (not superb, but admirable), with no egregious DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) artifacts even at the highest settings.
Of course, if you're looking for more extensive video processing, the AVR-3311CI's big brother (AVR-4311CI) does offer such, along with two more channels of amplification to complete the full DSX audio experience, along with Audyssey's new XT32 MultEQ room correction processing. But given how much the AVR-3311CI does, and how well it does it, it's hard to justify the additional $800 expense of the 4311. If you can live with choosing between height and width (assuming you don't need surround back channels, and really, who does?), the 3311 is an amazing value.
Turns Ons
- Audyssey DSX Processing
- Exceptional sound quality
- Amazingly intuitive interface, given the sophistication of the receiver and its numerous features
- 3D capable with native support for all of the latest lossless audio formats
- No iPod dock necessary
- Robust networking capabilites
- Wonderful build quality and aesthetics
Turn Offs
- Craptastic remote, may I suggest a universal instead?
- Not enough channels of amplification to use both height and width channels with DSX
- iPhone/iPod Touch app is a little slow
Final thoughts
At its price point, the AVR-3311CI is very nearly the perfect receiver. It's easy to complain about the lack of extra amplification channels, but at this price, nine channels is a lot to ask. All things considered, aside from the remote, I wouldn't change a thing.

Space Archaeology » Entries tagged with "Johannes Kepler"
Space Archaeology turns 400!
Astronomy recently celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first observations with a telescope. His discoveries, including four moons of Jupiter, were published in a sensational treatise, Sidereus Nuncius (The Sidereal Messenger), in 1610. German astronomer Johannes Kepler received a copy of the Sidereal Messenger in early April that year. His response, the 'Conversation with the Sidereal Messenger', was completed and sent to Galileo on 19th – 400 years ago next month. A slightly revised version was published on May 3. In it, Kepler made the first observation of extraterrestrial artificial structures – circular fortresses on the moon! Galileo had remarked upon these features, but it was left to Kepler to argue that because of their geometrical perfection, they must be artificial. … Read entire article »

These cookies are absolutely delicious. I didn't use the cherries because I didn't have any, but they were still great. I'll definately add the cherries next time I make them. Btw, I was reading the reviews for this same recipe on the Food Network Web Site, and some people noted that there is an error in the recipe in that Gale didn't cook them a second time, like the recipe notes.
