July 4 services and safety information
July 2, 2013
In observance of Independence Day, the city of Scottsdale will close all administrative offices on Thursday, July 4. Here's more information about other services and safety.
Trash and Recycling
Trash and recycling collection will not be affected. Place your containers in their usual spot the night before or morning of collection. Remember that collection begins earlier in the summer, so have your containers out by 5 a.m. the morning of collection or the night before. www.ScottsdaleAZ.gov/recycle.
Aquatic Centers
Cactus, Chaparral, Eldorado, and McDowell Mountain Ranch aquatic centers will all be open for public swim from 1 to 5 p.m. There will not be swim lessons on July 4. Regular pool admission fees apply. www.scottsdaleaz.gov/sports/aquatics.
McDowell Sonoran Preserve
Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve will close at 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 4, to reduce the threat of wild fires during the Independence Day holiday. Summer temperatures dry out vegetation and create an extreme fire threat that can endanger lives, property and the Valley's fragile desert. The availability and popularity of fireworks during the Fourth of July holiday increases that threat. http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/News/06-27-2013-news.
The use of fireworks is prohibited in Scottsdale, but sales are permitted. Fireworks should not be used in Scottsdale – or anywhere near a natural desert environment. http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/Fireworks.
Pets can become distressed by the additional noise, lights and commotion involved with Independence Day celebrations. Maricopa County Animal Care and Control offers these tips:
** Leave pets at home if you're heading out to watch fireworks. Large crowds and noisy fireworks can frighten animals, including those that are typically calm.
** Keep pets indoors. Many pets are terrified of fireworks and loud celebrations. They may panic and jump over or dig under a fence to escape if scared. Create a safe haven for your pets in a quiet part of your home. Make sure they have food, water, bedding and a few favorite toys. Consider turning on a radio or television to help drown out the sound of fireworks and parties.
** Make sure your pet has current identification.
** If your pets go missing, check to see if they're at one of the two county animal shelters. Visit the two county animal shelters every two days if you're pet goes missing. File missing pet reports at www.petharbor.com.
Heat Stress
The Scottsdale Fire Department responds to a number of medical calls related to Arizona's high temperatures. People suffer heat-related illness when body temperatures become overloaded. The body normally cools itself by sweating, but under some conditions, sweating isn't enough. In such cases, body temperature rises rapidly. Very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs. Know the signs which include heavy sweating, paleness, headaches, nausea, dizziness, shallow breathing and rapid but weakened pulse rate.
To help avoid heat-related illnesses, remember these warm weather tips:
** Increase your fluid intake regardless of your activity level
** Drink two to four glasses of cool liquid like fruit juice each hour during heavy exercise
** Avoid very cold beverages because they can cause stomach cramps, drinks with alcohol or salt tables (unless directed by a doctor)
** Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat
** Apply and reapply sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher and apply it 30 minutes before going outdoors
** Avoid hot foods and heavy meals as they add heat to your body. Also use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home
** Do not leave infants, children or pets in a parked car
** Dress infants and children in cool, loose clothing and shade their heads and faces with a hat
** Limit sun exposure during the mid-day hours
** Rest frequently in a shady or air conditioned area
Wildland Fires
The tragic wildland fires raging in Arizona have touched us all – a reminders that we are in the thick of wildfire season. Take these precautions:
** If you live in a natural desert environment, create a 30-foot defensible space around your home.
** Remove perennial grasses and thin overgrown bushes.
** Remove dead branches from living trees and dead vegetation from the ground.
** Keep a rolled up garden hose with a nozzle attached to an outside hose valve connection.
For more wildland fire prevention information, visit http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/wildlandfire.
Barbecue Safety
Each year, about 600 fires/explosions nationally occur with gas grills resulting in injuries to about 30 people. Follow these gas grill safety tips:
** Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.
** Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease
** Always keep propane gas containers upright
** Never store a spare gas container under or near the grill or indoors
** Never store or use flammable liquids, like gasoline, near the grill
** Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape
Charcoal Grill Safety
Each year, about 19 people die nationally as a result of carbon monoxide fumes from charcoal being burned inside. Follow these tips:
** Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents or campers. Charcoal should never be used indoors even if ventilation is provided
** Do not store the grill indoors with freshly used coals
If you're planning to escape to the cool pines over the holiday, check out these camping and campfire safety tips: http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/camping.

Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (ADR) (NASDAQ:ACTS)
The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops and markets integrated platform solutions, including SoCs, firmware, software development tools and reference designs, for manufacturers of portable media players.
This ten-year-old, Zhuhai, China-based company is a fablesss designer of the electronics used in hand-held consumer products, historically MP3 players.
They compete on the cutting edge of design and functionality for their products, up against companies such as ALi, Anyka, Broadcom, NXP Semiconductor, PortalPlayer, Rockchips, Samsung, SigmaTel, Silicon Motion, Sunplus, Telechips and Texas Instruments.
They IPO'd on the Nasdaq in Nov 2005, underwritten by Credit Suisse First Boston. They initially had very good success with their electronics, which peaked for them in 2006. After that, competitive pricing pressure and lower volume drove their revenue down from $170M/annum to $38M today.
As revenues declined, profits finally went into the red in 2009, entirely due to the necessity of continuing the expenditures for new product development. They stabilized in 2010, generating a small profit. Gross margins, once over 50%, are now relatively stable at about 40%.
Their R&D program has generated new products for the MP4 market, including applications in the automotive audio and boom box industries. Late in 2010 saw their first sales into the hand-held advanced-video game-player market with their Series G1000 product line. If these product launches are ultimately successful, Actions will start to see their revenue grow once again by mid-2011.
For the first quarter, ending March 31, 2011, Actions Semiconductor estimates revenue in the range of $7.5 to $8.5 million, gross margin will be approximately 40% and operating expenses higher on a sequential basis.
Analysts have largely abandoned the company. Rick Fearon of Accretive was the only questioner on the year-end conference call.
There are 430.6M shares outstanding and each American Depository Receipt (ADR) represents six shares. They have $233M in cash and marketable securities and no debt, which comes to $3.25/ADR. They have bought back 85.4M shares in the last three years. They do not pay a dividend and will not in the foreseeable future.
Disclosure: I have taken a small position, based on the value aspect. It would be a bit larger position if I had more evidence of how successful their new product lines will be.

Kindergarten students at IWA receive diplomas (Photos)
CORPUS CHRISTI - More than 30 Incarnate Word Academy kindergarten students celebrated a milestone as they graduated from kindergarten on Thursday.
Students and their families attended a Mass before receiving their kindergarten diplomas.
The Mass is important at the school because it is the cornerstone of Catholic education, said Sister Camelia Herlihy, principal of the elementary level.
"This is a significant milestone for them," she said. "In kindergarten it's a development time. In first, second and third grade they are moving to a more structured system."

Player-Run MMORPG By Former Ultima Online Devs Finding Kickstarter Success 33

from the +1-sword-of-smiting-as-a-stretch-goal dept.
An anonymous reader writes: Shards Online has returned to Kickstarter with a refocused plan and a promise to match pledges dollar-for-dollar up to their goal. With just a week gone by, they have already reached 75% of their goal. Project Lead Derek Brinkmann says, "If Ultima Online and Neverwinter Nights had a love child, Shards Online would be the result. By combining the persistent virtual world of Ultima Online with the freedom of community run servers and the ability to act as a dungeonmaster in Neverwinter Nights, we are creating a paradise for roleplayers where you are no longer constrained by the rules handed to you by the development team." The team now has their sights set on their stretch goals like more animations for roleplayers and an extra game world to be released at Alpha.

A mob of runners and many well wishers flocked to Tempe on Saturday for the ninth annual Pat's Run to honor one of Arizona's finest and pay respect to the victims of Monday's attack on the Boston Marathon.
Approximately 28,000 participants braved the early-morning start and warmer than preferable temperatures to run, jog and walk their way through the 4.2-mile course that ended on the 42-yard line in Sun Devil Stadium.
The race's end featured a familiar sight when Maricopa resident and elementary-school physical education teacher Ronnie Buchanan repeated as the event's champion. Queen Creek's Troy Davis won the wheelchair race.
For the non-elite runners, this year's Pat's Run represented a venue to celebrate the life of Army ranger Pat Tillman – the former Arizona State and Arizona Cardinal who died in a friendly-fire incident in Afghanistan in 2004.
"He had a career, and he left for something he believed in," said Phoenix resident and retired Army Sgt. Manuel Lopez.
Lopez finished the race for the third time, and was one of many who have run the course multiple times over the years. Some, like Gilbert resident and 41st overall finisher Blake Sacha, have found their way to Tempe every April for almost a decade.
"I've seen it grow from 100 to 30,000," he said.
Sacha keeps coming back to Pat's Run to remember Tillman and contribute to the Tillman Military Scholars program, which provides scholarships to active service members and veterans. According to the Tillman Foundation website, the organization has provided $3.2 million to 230 scholars over the years.
Many of the athletes recognized veterans and service members like Tillman and others by making their own T-shirts with Tillman's name on it or with the name and face of another departed soldier. Others wore either this year's grey tech shirt – complete with Tillman's number 42 on the back – or one from a previous race.
Another clothing choice that stood out among the sea of runners were blue caps with the letter "B" on the front that were used to recognize the three people killed and more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon on Patriot's Day. A slew of Saturday's participants wore official Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots gear, or attended the event in something a little more homemade. Sacha, who said he competed in the marathon's 100th iteration 17 years ago, had a black sign with the Boston skyline contrasted in white and the date 4-15-13 on it, while Gilbert residents Ken Buckwinkler and Jackie Heatherson donned shirts with the phrase "Run for Boston" in green letters.
One guy wore a red, white and blue full-body spandex suit.
"We want to represent for them," said Buckwinkler, in reference to friends he has in the Boston area and for fellow runners.
Monday's bombing didn't affect Buckwinkler's decision to run, although he said his co-workers were worried about security. Scottsdale resident Kathleen Boyer also had concerns about this year's Pat's Run, although her fears were assuaged when police officials announced on Friday they would increase security at the event.
With extra police and security present, no incidents were reported.
"It was nice to go online and see they posted that though," Boyer said.
Phoenix resident Nancy Douchet, however, said opting to stay home instead of coming out to run her first Pat's Run would be the wrong message to take away from tragedies like the Boston bombings.
"By not showing up, we let fear win," she said.

"Winning the Final Four and getting a ring is our biggest goal," Twymon said. "That is all we are worried about: getting to the Final Four and getting a ring to say we did it and we made it."
Getting knocked out of the Central Regional Tournament the past two seasons put a bad taste in Twymon's mouth. The freshman said playing in the Baller Prep Tournament over the Christmas break helped prepare her team for a postseason run.
"It helped us a lot," she said. "I remember the first year we went to regional, we had to wake up real early in the morning when it was still dark to go down there to play. Coach Smith gets us ready for early games. We are not used to playing early in the morning, we are used to playing at night. When we have those games in the regionals and the Final Four we will know what those games feel like."
Winterboro head coach Sheroderick Smith said he likes the confidence that Twymon is playing with this season.
"One thing I can say about Anslea, is probably one of my most coachable players," Smith said. " It is really hard to get on her, because she is always trying to make sure she is doing the right thing. The only thing I had to get on her during her eighth grader year is her confidence. She was always trying to impress other people and I told her 'hey you play for Coach Smith and if you believe in me, then I believe in you.' This year, she is being very aggressive. She took some key shots for us this year, especially the one at TC. I believe in my players. I don't care if they make the shot or miss the shot. If they have the confidence to take the shot that is what I look for. Anslea has it."
The last three seasons, Twymon has shown improvement on her game. As a seventh grader she averaged 5.3 points per game, as an eighth grader her averaged improved to 10.7 points per game and as a freshman she averages 12 points per game. She credits the improvement in her game to the work she put in the summer.
"I just try to work hard in practice during the summer and try to put extra time in the gym," Twymon said.
Smith said he didn't put any pressure on Twymon her first seasons of varsity.
"You don't want to put girls in a situation to where they are afraid to make mistakes, they are afraid to try and afraid to succeed," Smith said. "I don't put any pressure on them in seventh or eight grade. You don't want to blow their head up to early too. I actually feel that Anslea is growing up the right way. Right now, she is my second leading scorer. I know she passed the 500-point marker en route to the 1,000-point club. Being that she is one of my most coach able players I know during the Baller Prep Tournament she got attention from a lot of travel teams and that is good for our program. We have some players in our program. It makes Winterboro girls one of the most respected programs in the county, but we are trying to get that state respect."
Twymon said she has had a couple of memorable moments in the regular season.
"The TC game and the Lincoln tournament," the freshman guard said. " I remember in the Lincoln tournament that Jasmine fouled out and it was just us. We kept going to the free throw line. I believe the only reason we won that game is because of the free throws that we made. In the TC game, the score was going back and forth. We found a way to pull out a win that night."
Twymon hopes the Lady Bulldogs will have a memorable postseason. Winterboro takes on the winner of ASD-Westminster on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Class 1A Area 7 tournament.

The Navigo is a tactile bracelet that guides you to your destination with vibrations. Navigo wirelessly connects with your smartphone using Bluetooth and vibrates according to directions provided by a map app. As you walk, bike or drive, the vibrating wrist accessory leads the way.
In addition to helping you navigate, the futuristic bracelet also has three other functions. Navigo was built to act as a watch, compass and proximity guide. When you use it as a compass, the bracelet vibrates North so that you always know what direction you're facing. When you use the proximity and navigation functions, Navigo leads you to your destination.
If you don't have anywhere to go, you can use the bracelet exclusively as a sleek and minimalist watch. A visual dial on the Navigo indicates the time.

I hadn't been to Calle Ocho in years (before it moved to the Excelsior Hotel). I have a very hard time believing this is the same restaurant. First off, our food arrived about 6 minutes after placing the order. NOTHING takes only 6 minutes to prepare, unless it's not actually being prepared to order. Furthermore, when one of the dishes is paella, then 6 minutes is entirely unacceptable. The "sweet & green plantains" were fried plantain chips that were neither sweet or even warm. The Camarones were sweet shrimp on top of an unappetizing seemingly asian inspired avocado "salad." I love avocado, but this was bordering on inedible. The Paella tasted like Uncle Ben's rice that seafood was thrown on top of at the end. The rice had no flavor at all from the seafood, no toasted bottom, and the seafood was cold. You can't even pretend the seafood was cooked in the rice if it's COLD! The stuffed chicken was acceptable, but it's supposed to come with sausage and I got 1 tiny half inch diameter sliver of sausage. The only things I can recommend from Calle Ocho are the rolls.

its the best restaurant in the whole city. i loved the food and sangrias brunch its awesome. im coming BACK here every weekend.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/28/2013
I love this restaurant..the atmosphere was lively with a comforting ambiance. cant wait to go back for my favorite sangria
Posted by teresa on 05/20/2012
We had reservation for a party of 3 for 5:45, we arrived on time,the place is lovely we were escorted to our table and we ordered different drinks. I did not like the mojito it tasted too sour. I ordered a pitcher of white sangria it was wonderful. The food was great. i will come back.
Posted by anonymous on 03/04/2012
We had heard good things about this place and I am really glad we tried it out. The unlimited (free) Sangria is delicious! The bread basket is yummy with nice variety, also refilled when requested. And the entrees were very, very good. Service is great too. It is getting increasingly popular though, so make reservations well in advance..1 month or so. It is more than worth it!

Last night we enjoyed a fabulous Latin inspired meal at Calle Ocho. As soon as we entered this warm, beautifully decorated space our spirits were lifted to party mode! Before we even glanced at the menu we were sipping coconut mojitos and munching on Calle's complimentary warm corn biscuits and black bean spread. All that was just a prelude for the palate pleasing dinner that was to follow. For appetizers we had Calle's version of fried calamari - lightly battered and flash fried drizzled with a sweet sauce and topped with a crunchy cabbage and sprout salad. The consistency of the two together was a party in my mouth! We also had a green salad which in reality was so much more! Beautiful ruby red and golden yellow beets over greens with a dollop of creamy goat cheese and toast. The heirloom tomatoes topped by a goat cheese fritter surrounded by a trio of sauces was as much a treat for the eyes as it was to eat. For dinner, many of us chose the evening's special - a moist chicken breast marinated in a balsamic reduction tinged with cumin, along with glazed brussel sprouts served over a mound of fluffy mashed potatoes. Sea bass was the other choice which cooked to moist perfection and complemented by garlic sauteed spinach, tomato and bacon all atop creamy risotto. All of our entrees were complemented by a great bottle of Ontañón Crianza 2007 wine. The subtle fruit and silky finish of this Spanish gem from the Rioja region put this meal over the top!
Posted by Anonymous on 08/18/2011
The service was so weird here. Our waiter didnt know which apps to recommend when we asked him, and then proceeded to try to upsell us on the biggest priced items. Also he kept walking away from the table when we were talking to him. People kept taking drink orders and never bringing the drinks. The food was totally average. Killer rolls though.

Analysis: 'Straw purchasing,' background check law most important here
BY FRANK MAIN Staff email@example.com January 17, 2013 3:40AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, sitting next Supt. Garry McCarthy, gets ready to make remarks to the latest graduating class of Chicago Police Department detectives at Navy Pier on January 16, 2013. | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times
Updated: February 19, 2013 2:22PM
Strengthening the laws against "straw purchasing" of firearms and bolstering background checks for gun buyers might have a greater impact on Chicago crime than federally banning assault weapons, which have been banned locally for decades, according to law enforcement sources.
President Barack Obama's wide-ranging proposals to reduce gun violence were unveiled Wednesday in response to a madman's killings of 20 children at a Connecticut elementary school in December.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, appearing at a graduation ceremony for 32 police recruits at Navy Pier, applauded his former boss for his "efforts to bring a comprehensive approach to gun control."
Chicago crime fighters said they liked Obama's call for more serious punishment for straw purchasing.
That's important for Chicago because a large number of firearms get into the hands of criminals through straw purchasing in the suburbs and other states, according to federal and local sources who weren't authorized to speak publicly on Obama's plan.
Currently, no federal laws specifically outlaw straw purchasing, in which people with clean backgrounds buy guns for crooks. Straw purchasers typically face probation for paperwork violations. A real threat of prison would discourage the practice, the sources said.
They also said better background checks for gun buyers might help curb crime in Chicago, which had 506 murders in 2012 — a 16 percent increase over the prior year.
Obama said he's pushing for a law requiring all gun sellers to conduct a background check on their customers.
Chicago's criminals often travel out of state to gun shows to buy firearms from private sellers, officials say.
Currently, private sellers don't have to conduct background checks, yet they constitute about 40 percent of all gun sales, according to the Obama administration.
Also gaining favor among law enforcement sources was an Obama proposal to collect more information about mentally ill people deemed too dangerous to possess a gun.
Many of the mass shootings in recent years involved mentally ill people able to buy a gun.
Some states have been providing insufficient information on mentally ill people, with 17 states providing virtually no records, the Obama administration says.
In Illinois, there's a backlog of such records that need to be entered into the federal database, State Police Director Hiram Grau said last week. Grau said his office needs more money to do the job and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin responded: "I want to see what we can do."
Other Obama proposals would have less of an impact on crime in Chicago, sources said.
Among them is a proposed ban on "assault weapons" and high-capacity ammunition magazines. They were banned federally from 1994 to 2004, but they've been banned in Chicago and Cook County for the past two decades.
One key argument Obama makes for a federal ban on military-style semiautomatic rifles — or "assault weapons," is to reduce the number of mass shootings across the country. Many of the massacres, such as the one in Connecticut, involved those types of rifles, officials say.
But a federal ban on those weapons wouldn't have much of an impact on the number of shootings in Chicago, sources said. Only 300 of the 7,400 guns that police recovered last year were classified as "assault weapons" — and rifles accounted for a small fraction of the total murders and shootings.
Chicago's ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines carries a penalty of 60 to 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000 to $5,000. Emanuel is proposing boosting the penalty for those ordinance violations to 90 to 180 days in jail.
The mayor also is proposing jail sentences of up to six months for Chicagoans who fail to report guns that are lost, stolen or transferred to a new owner — an increase from the three-month maximum behind bars now.
On Wednesday, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Sheriff Tom Dart announced their support for a similar ordinance on the county level that would carry a $1,000 fine for failing to report lost, stolen or transferred guns.
"Guns are flooding and have flooded our streets for years, decades," Dart said. "We have to do something to curb that," Dart said.
Although the sources support such "lost, stolen or transferred" laws, they said the proposed city and county penalties still aren't harsh enough to persuade criminals to comply.
Former Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis, a former FBI supervisor, agrees with Preckwinkle's proposal, but said more consistent sentencing for gun crimes is key.
"Far too many people are not going to prison for the time they should, even on those convictions on offenses with mandatory prison time. Some people are just bad people; they need to be off the streets."

First of all the phone number on this site is incorrect. It should have been a sign when this was the only hotel in Piura that was available. The hotel was noisy, the rooms dirty and the staff, aside from one bellman named carlos, were completely unhelpful and incompetant. Every time we would go to the desk the story that we were given before changed or they had no idea who we were. There IS a transfer to the airport, oh NO there is only one way transfer FROM the airport not TO the airport. We DO exchange money, oh no we don't exchange money. In fact we don't even have change in our own currency. We won't charge a meal to your room because you didn't say in advance it was to be charged to your room, and oh yeah your credit card doesn't work and we only accept cash. If you are american do not come here unless you are fluent in spanish as well, since no one speaks one word of english, or so they say. Also it should have been a sign when there were fly swatters in each room. I was eaten alive by bugs, and left with no less than 30 bites. There was also a mysterious hole in the ceiling of our bathroom, the sink didn't drain nor did the shower. All in all our 4 days here was about 3 3/4 days too many.

CLEVELAND – First, the good news for Cavaliers fans:
Anderson Varejao practiced Thursday and is listed as probable for Friday night's game at Phoenix. Varejao, the Cavs' 6-foot-11 rebounding machine, missed Wednesday's loss at Golden State with right knee soreness.
More good news:
Both starting point guard Kyrie Irving and C.J. Miles played Wednesday with the stomach flu, and while neither practiced Thursday, both are also probable for the Suns.
Now for the somewhat-not-so-good (but-not-awful) news:
Rookie guard Dion Waiters is listed as questionable for Friday. Waiters suffered what the Cavs are calling a "right quad contusion," suffered against the Warriors. He was seen hobbling in the locker room after the game, and did not practice Thursday.
Irving leads the Cavs (2-3) at 24.6 points per game. Waiters is second (15.4 ppg) and Varejao is third (14.0). Varejao also leads the Cavs in rebounding at 15.0 per game.
FOX Sports Ohio's telecast of the Cavs-Suns game begins Friday at 8:30 p.m.

Hooking Up Your Converter Box
Digital conversion is just a little more than a month away.
So, the Federal Communications Commission is reaching out to seniors in El Paso to make sure they're prepared for the switch.
A crowd of seniors gathered at the East side community center to ask an important question...
"How do I hook up my digital converter box?"
The FCC demonstrated a group how to connect a digital converter box in two easy steps:
Step 1: Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna jack on the TV to the TV output on the box.
Step 2: Connect the antenna-plug to the antenna-input on the box.
"It's very easy, the only thing I missed on the first round was putting in the code for the TV," senior, Tom Soleau said.
Then the user has to program their TV:
First, turn on the television and use the remote that came with the converter box to access the menu.
Second, choose the "channel scan" option...
Your television should then give you a list of which channels are available.
But if your signal isn't coming in loud and clear, you might want to re-position your antenna toward the TV towers on the franklin mountains.

Why are so many responsive web designs crap?
Over 90% of responsive web sites are bloated. These sites may look good on mobile devices, but few people will ever see them because they take to long to load.
While the core tenets of responsive web design are easy to understand, doing it well is much more difficult. Slapping a few media queries on your existing site isn't enough.
The solution is mobile first responsive web design.
Mobile first and responsive web design aren't simply two great tastes that go great together. No they represent much more than that. Mobile first responsive web design is the responsible way to build responsive design. It is the best way to build something that is both responsive from a layout AND a performance perspective.
But if mobile first is the right way to do responsive design, then why are so few people doing it? In this session, we'll dig into why mobile first responsive design matters and the five techniques necessary to make it work.
If your company is exploring responsive design of even if you're already building responsive designs, you won't want to miss this talk.
A while ago we went through the process of becoming a non-profit in order to build a community device testing lab. Last fall, we decided to open up the device testing lab in a temporary location at the Cloud Four offices.
In this talk Surj Patel, co-founder of local Internet of Things (IoT) startup Smart Mocha, talks about the state of the "internet of things", focusing on cutting through some of the hype and hyperbole and looking at what opportunities the shift to everything being connected will enable.
Also he'll cover in brief some of the enabling technologies and in which areas the initial uptake's will occur.
We typically think of the Internet of consisting primarily of computing devices connected to the network. But already we're beginning to see the proliferation of everyday objects being tagged and connected to the Internet. The Internet of Things ranges from the Nest thermostat to RFID tags used in a store.
Surj Patel is a co-founder and CEO of Smart Mocha, a Portland-based startup focused on providing a simple out-of-the-box experience for sensor networks.
Surj Patel has more than 15 years of experience in the intersection of technology and media. Surj started his career in 1993 at the BBC, where he helped launch the original BBC web site. In later years, he formed an award-winning digital design agency in London, helped establish BBC Imagineering, studied at the MIT Media Laboratory in the Object-Based Media group, and became an Imagineer at the France Telecom/Orange advanced research lab in Cambridge, Mass.

My old showreel
I do a lot of standing around in front of a camera. Often, someone bothers pushing the record button and sometimes I'll do and say things of vague interest — or so I hear.
Once, to help me remember a few of these occasions, I made what some might refer to as a showreel. I, personally, wouldn't go as far as calling it that — it's far too long and features too many lingering shots of me spinning through the air in zero gravity (so what, it was cool) but if you fancy seeing some of my antics and you've got a couple of minutes spare, there hit the damn play button and prepare to be Rory-entated.

American Express Hit With $113 Million Fine
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- American Express (AXP) will pay $113 million, including $85 million to 250,000 customers, as it resolves federal charges of illegal card practices.
Several federal investigators including the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) alleged that American Express and its subsidiaries violated consumer protection laws between 2003 and 2012.
The credit card company allegedly charged unlawful late fees, discriminated against new applicants on the basis of age, failed to report consumer disputes to consumer reporting agencies and misled consumers about debt collection.
Consumers who were led to believe they would receive $300 under the "Blue Sky" Credit Card program also did not receive the money, the CFPB alleged."Several American Express companies violated consumer protection laws and those laws were violated at all stages of the game - from the moment a consumer shopped for a card to the moment the consumer got a phone call about long overdue debt," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a statement on Monday. "Today's orders require the American Express companies to fully refund about $85 million to consumers and it requires them to make specific changes in their business practices. The American Express companies will identify the harmed customers, notify them, and make sure they get back their money." Under the terms of the settlement, American Express will pay $300 to all customers who were promised the money for signing up for the Blue Sky Credit Card. Consumers who paid illegal late fees will be reimbursed with interest. Consumers who were promised their debt would be forgiven but were denied new cards because their debt was not forgiven will be given a pre-approved card and $100. Read more about the enforcement action here. Amex will also pay fines to the tune of $14 million to the CFPB, $9 million to the Federal Reserve , $3.9 million to the FDIC and $500,000 to the OCC. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

No Repentance without Punishment
Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal.
Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal.
Here is a Mormon model of the pre-existence. Christ presented a plan for us to experience mortality and Satan presented an alternate plan. Christ's plan allowed full scope for our free agency, so we'd sin, which He would repair by atoning for the sin. Satan's plan restrained our free agency through repression and tyranny and disinformation/propaganda and who knows, so that we wouldn't sin. We voted to accept Christ, but Satan and his followers wouldn't accept the vote, like king-men. Consistent with their plan, like king-men they then went to war to get by force what they had lost by vote. They lost this confrontation too and were thrown out. But the war continues. It has become a bandit resistance campaign of subversion and sabotage.
The model is wrong. (more…)

Here is a solution to the major problem of plastics in the ocean. Please give it your support!............... https://fund.theoceancleanup.com/
Published June 24, 2014
An international panel of former heads of state, government ministers, and prominent business leaders is calling for world leaders to protect the ocean by adopting a sweeping "five-year rescue package."
The report released Tuesday by the Global Ocean Commission recommends that the United Nations and national governments restrict fishing in international waters, eliminate fishing subsidies, step up the fight against illegal fishing, reduce pollution, and establish greater international cooperation on marine issues.
Nations must "intervene to reduce degradation of the ocean, and it must be forceful," commission co-chair Trevor Manuel tells National Geographic.
The independent, 17-member commission—launched in February 2013 by the Pew Charitable Trusts, the University of Oxford, Adessium Foundation, and Oceans 5—spent 18 months researching and drafting the report.
The commission's conclusions have been widely anticipated by policymakers at the UN and in many nations, in part due to the political clout of the commissioners. Members include Carol Browner, the former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; David Miliband, the former foreign secretary of the United Kingdom; and Paul Martin, a former prime minister of Canada.
Without swift action to combat overfishing, pollution, and other problems, the commission argues, the world's food supply and biodiversity are at great risk. The ocean, the commission notes, provides half of the planet's oxygen, absorbs half of man-made carbon emissions, and is the beginning of the food chain.
"It's clearly important that nations raise the bar on international cooperation around the ocean," says Manuel, a veteran politician from South Africa who served as the country's minister of finance for 13 years.
One of the commission's most dramatic recommendations is for subsidies for fishing in international waters to be capped immediately and eliminated entirely within five years. The move could essentially end fishing on the so-called high seas because the commission found that, without the financial assistance provided by ten nations, the practice would not be financially viable.
If such significant steps are not taken within five years, then the high seas should be closed to all fishing to allow stocks to recover, the report says.
More Fish for All
Although only about ten percent of the global fish catch is now taken from the high seas, completely cutting off that resource is "likely to face some opposition" from fishing groups, says Manuel.
Still, if such a serious measure is taken, it will eventually increase the amount of fish that spill over into territorial waters still open to fishing, he says.
Rashid Sumaila, an economics professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver who studies the fishing industry, told National Geographic that when he first suggested closing the high seas to fishing at a meeting in Cape Town a few years ago, "people thought it was crazy."
But he says the data show that the top ten fishing countries—Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Spain, the United States, Chile, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and France—are fishing the value out of the high seas even though "it is supposed to be owned by all world citizens." Therefore, many countries, especially developing nations, will support giving the high seas a chance to recover, which will eventually mean more fish for all, Sumaila says.
The commissioners also call for mandatory tracking of all vessels fishing in international waters and a ban on ship-to-ship transfer of fish at sea, a practice common in pirate, or illegal, fishing.
Both the Obama administration and the European Union have recently highlighted the scale of the global pirate fishing problem, which is estimated to be responsible for 20 percent of the total fish catch. Although a number of regional fishing entities are charged with regulating activities in different parts of the high seas, enforcement has been difficult, standards have been uneven, and the results have been mixed, the report warns. (See: "One in Three Fish Imported Into U.S. May Be Illegal.")
The report also calls for governments to do more to curb the flow of plastics into the ocean and to set binding regulations on offshore oil and gas development.
In addition, the report urges world leaders to create a stronger international framework for regulating the ocean. One step would be renegotiating 1982's UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which the U.S. never ratified but many nations did.
Manuel calls the convention "very useful" but says it has become outdated because of advancements in marine technology and scientific understanding of the ocean. The original focus was on allowing free navigation of vessels across the 64 percent of the ocean that lies outside national jurisdiction, but, Manuel says, "the world needs to think about the responsibilities that go along with that freedom."
Better Governance?
The proposal to increase UN oversight of the ocean is certain to draw opposition. In an article this week, conservative writer Luis R. Miranda accuses the UN of wanting to "confiscate the most important natural resource the planet has" by shifting power "from the hands of the many to those of a few global oligarchs."
But Manuel says that if current governance systems were working, "we wouldn't need to make such a radical call."
Lance Morgan, a marine ecologist and president of the Marine Conservation Institute in Glen Ellen, California, says, "It is critical that we get improved governance on the high seas."
Right now, different treaties cover such activities as navigation, seabed mining, fishing, pollution, and so on. "The idea of an implementing agreement through the UN is a step that is really needed to bring structure to the high seas," he says.
Ghislaine Maxwell, an ocean advocate who heads the TerraMar Project, which builds awareness around the high seas, adds, "Fish don't vote, but people do, so if people in enough numbers complain, then that combined with the high-level discussions of the Global Ocean Commission will drive the change that's needed."
The report also recommends updating the UN Convention to include provisions that allow for the creation of marine protected areas on the high seas.
President Obama's recent call for a vast marine protected area around remote islands in the Pacific is "a very important starting point" for discussing these issues, says Manuel, but "now we have to drive this agenda into the UN."
The report calls for the appointment of a special UN representative for the ocean and formal adoption of ocean health as an official sustainable development goal. That would set in motion funding opportunities through the World Bank, governments, and various other entities.
Maxwell believes that such a move could transform the world's approach to the high seas.
"Think about what happened to the issues of women's health, malaria, and HIV after they were included in the UN's Millenium Development Goals," she says. "Billions of dollars were unleashed and public-private partnerships were formed."

Everyone makes a good point. I just want to add that through a global agreement all nations that use the oceans must partake in cleaning the ocean. These huge stagnate floating trash piles out in the oceans must be cleaned up. Instead of taking pictures and saying awe too bad we should be cleaning them up.
Also through a global agreement all the local & international shipping lanes need to be reviewed and moved as necessary to prevent the massacre of thousands of whales each year due to collisions with commercial ships. The world has banned whaling but commercial shipping is killing thousands each year and this can be prevented.
As we are causing massive shifts in fish populations we cause massive shifts in predator fish which causes massive shifts in plankton & krill populations. And what do the plankton & krill populations have to do with anything you may ask, their population / migrations have one of the largest affects on the temperature of the oceans which directly correlates to the ocean conveyor belt and to the amount of rain and movement of the jet stream.
Let's protect and use our oceans, not ignore and abuse them.
What a massive endeavor, from getting and keeping human waste, garbage and trash out of the oceans to protecting the reefs, the spawning routes, replacing nets that trap porpoises, whales, sea turtles, policing beaches against vandals, enforcing poaching prohibitions--the list goes on, and to add pressure, requires the endorsement of all member nations! Yet there are millions more people worldwide who want to restore and conserve our oceans than there are greedy and/or ignorant people who see oceans as the last frontier of exploitation. National Geo, please follow this story; there may be ways we can help: a policy-making task force to join, a beach to clean up, a pro-ocean candidate we can support. (OK, that's a stretch)
We should protect the breeding habitat for all species throughout the year and especially during the spawn. Allow the spawn to happen and only fish post spawn habitats.
The far more immediate and delicious solution to saving the oceans is at hand. This is to restore and revive the oceans and their ocean pastures. We've demonstrated effective affordable methods and technologies to do this growing hundreds of millions of additional fish, returning salmon to levels of historic abundance in the NE Pacific. http://russgeorge.net/2014/06/23/worlds-first-commercial-scale-ocean-pasture-restoration/
20-30% of the ocean needs to be set aside as fully protected marine sanctuaries. Here in Canada only 1% of our ocean enjoys that kind of protection. Recent changes to government policy have eliminated protections that have been around for decades in the form of the Fisheries Act.
The ocean is often out of sight and out of mind to most of the population. Meanwhile the ocean feeds 1 billion people a year. Almost half of fish caught are ground into food for pigs and chickens. It doesn't take long to figure out that we are headed for a collapse of most of our ocean fish stocks.

Oh my, the Twins are melting before our very eyes.
I'm not talking about their record, which is poor enough. But the Twins are losing a player a day to injuries. And that means the Wings will pay dearly.
Twins pitcher Dennys Reyes will be re-examined on Thursday and is expected to go on the disabled list with degeneratoin of his rotator cuff and labrum. (Doesn't that sound terrible?). Twins manager Ron Gardenhire mentioned Wings lefty Jason Miller as a possible replacement.
Now, I really like Jason Miller. He's a standup guy, a true nice guy, but I never thought he'd be in line for a promotion so soon (even though he's put up solid numbers). Not with all the studs in the pitching staff at the beginning of the year. He's not even on the 40-man roster. But the Twins need help.
That's not all. Twins shortstop Jason Bartlett could be headed to the DL with a neck injury. He'll see a doctor on Thursday as well, and that could mean a promotion for Wings infielder Alexi Casilla. Too bad for Matt Tolbert, who leads the IL in hitting and might have made the jump to the majors, but he's sidelined with a strained oblique.
Another move could be coming around Memorial Day. That's when Joe Mauer is expected to come off the DL. Gardenhire wants to keep three catchers, so that's good news for Chris Heintz and bad news for either Jason Tyner or Lew Ford. One of those outfielders could be headed back to the Wings.
I don't understand Gardenhire's thinking on this three catcher's thing. If a catcher gets hurt in a game, you call a guy up from Rochester the very next day.
Today, someone named Jose Mijares was promoted from Double-A New Britain to the Red Wings. He's a left-handed relief pitcher.
Wings host Durham at 11:05 a.m. on Thursday. Well, what's left of them anyway.

iPad 2, Aflac Duck Voice: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "iPad 2" is a heavily searched topic following reports that the release of newest Apple (AAPL) tablet could be delayed because of the current crisis in Japan.
|You Don't Need the iPad 2
According to market research firm iSuppli, at least five major components of the iPad 2 are manufactured by Japanese companies. Now consumers are worried that supply shortages could potentially delay the release of the tablet.
"While some of these suppliers reported that their facilities were undamaged, delivery of components from all of these companies is likely to be impacted at least to some degree by logistical issues now plaguing most Japanese industries in the quake zone," iSuppli's Andrew Rassweiler said in a blog post.He said he expects that suppliers in Japan will encounter some difficulties shipping out needed products and parts.
"Aflac duck voice" is trending on Yahoo! as the insurance company continues to search for the new voice of its signature duck, after it fired comedian Gilbert Gottfried last week for making a number of distasteful jokes about the devastation in Japan.
"Japan is really advanced," Gottfried tweeted on Monday afternoon, "They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them." Aflac (AFL) quickly cut ties with the comedian following a string of similar comments.
"Think Quarterly" is a trending search term on the Internet after Google (GOOG), the Internet giant, launched its new online magazine.

text: Abu Dhabi GP: McLaren preview 4 November, 2011 Nov.4 (McLaren) Team and drivers preview the forthcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, round 18 of the 2011 Formula 1 world championship, at the Yas Marina Circuit. Lewis Hamilton "I have some fantastic memories of the Yas Marina Circuit. I started from pole position there in 2009, and I led the race until I was forced to stop because of a brake issue. Last year, I finished second and set the fastest lap, so we head there looking to convert all that potential into a race win. "I think we've got every reason to be confident for Abu Dhabi. This circuit should really suit the characteristics of our car – we should be able to capitalise on the layout to maximise the benefit of DRS and KERS, both of which are very strong on our car. "Red Bull and Sebastian [Vettel] may have clinched both championships, but I'm still determined to end the season on a winning high. I've won two grands prix this year, and I'd love to double that by the end of the year! It would also be a great reward for everybody at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes." Jenson Button "Abu Dhabi has special memories for me because it was my first race after I'd won the world championship in 2009, so it made racing that weekend a really fun and enjoyable experience – I remember I had a fantastic battle with Mark [Webber] and finished third. "The Yas Marina circuit looks and feels spectacular and futuristic: it's a unique place – the way the circuit changes from dusk to darkness is incredible, and must be an amazing experience for the spectators. The way it's built, the grandstands are almost on top the action so everyone gets a great view. "It's usually been quite difficult to overtake here, especially last year, but I think that DRS will change all that. The back straight is one of the longest in Formula 1 so I expect to see a lot of action there. It would be great to see the new rules turn this circuit into a place where overtaking is more common and more exciting. "Our car should suit this circuit so I'm very optimistic. We saw at the last grand prix that even though we didn't have the ultimate speed to catch and pass Sebastian, we made him work hard for the win. Tactically, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes ran a first-class race: I got all the right calls from the pit wall and the pit crew did a fantastic job. The championship may not be at stake any more but we're still aiming to win races and put on a tremendous show." Martin Whitmarsh, Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes "The Indian Grand Prix two weeks ago was a unique achievement for Formula 1, and next weekend's race in Abu Dhabi will be another pinnacle for the sport at probably the most futuristic and impressive circuit on the calendar. "Jenson was quick and incredibly consistent in India, putting us in a position where we could be a little bit adventurous with the tyre strategy and put the leader under greater pressure. I know Lewis was disappointed with the outcome of his own race but that will not affect his preparations for the next challenge. He has an extremely impressive track record in Abu Dhabi, starting from pole position in 2009 and setting the fastest lap on his way to the podium in 2010, so I'm very confident that he'll shine this weekend. "At Vodafone McLaren Mercedes we approach every grand prix with one aim: to win it. So while we can never be entirely happy with finishing second, as we did in India, we can be satisfied that we maximised the technical package we had and look at ways to go one better for the next race. "Even though we've secured second place in the constructors' championship, and Jenson has a very healthy margin in second place in the drivers' championship, the season isn't over for us by any means. We're continuing to bring new developments to our car and we'll be fighting every bit as hard as we did at the first race in Australia back in March."

Quoted from marjorie
question: how long does it take to get the wheat out of our systems? I am still not feeling well.
Quoted from Maria Giovanna
The gluten damage could be quick to heal if I do not have dairy together, Gluten plus dairy is a hell; I feel as I had taken opiates for hour or a day and cold, sinusitis or otitis. Now I can implement damage control with Deflect, pineapple and cranberry ( I as a teacher use also corn) for their mannose content. Pineapple has mannose and bromeline very useful this combination. Best wishes !
Quoted from TJ
...so I dug the steak package out of the trash can (ew ) and it was MARINATED. It had an INGREDIENTS LIST! Ridiculous. The front of the package said nothing about marinade. I am just blown away at how much more sensitive I've gotten lately. I guess now that my gut is really starting to heal, it's complaining a lot more loudly whenever I hinder its progress.
Quoted from ABJoe
New skin and raw nerves are much more sensitive than old... It is just the way life is... Think about how good you will feel when you get healed... I know, I'm still working on it, too...
Quoted from 10111
I never cheat with gluten. That tiny infinitesimal amount can do damage that takes up to two years to repair or cause scarring that lasts forever. I've even known people who have had to go on steroids because they "cheated" one too many times. BAD GLUTEN, BAD!
Quoted from Possum
Gotta be sooo careful eh being a nonnie!!??
Quoted from TJ
Here are the other ingredients in the steak I ate Tuesday night:"Up to 12% of a solution containing water, seasoning (sea salt, evaporated cane juice, sodium carbonate, natural flavoring, sodium acetate, salt sodium diacetate)." very fancy name for sugar - could this have been a problem?Maybe it was free glutamate in the natural flavoring.
