A lack of garbage cans in one area of Queens is creating a messy situation. NY1's Susan Jhun filed the following "NY1 For You" report.
Loose litter lined up along streets with no garbage cans. Residents say it's a familiar sight in one Astoria neighborhood.
"It really gets frustrating. I look at the streets, they're dirty, there's no place for anybody to put a coffee cup in, a napkin, there's no place to put anything here. You have to take your garbage home with you," says Denise Toro, an Astoria resident.
"The garbage is terrible," says Austin, another Astoria resident.
Within an 18 block radius, from 31st Street and Astoria Boulevard all the way to 49th Street and Astoria Boulevard South, residents say there isn't even one public garbage can.
"As the population has increased with the restaurants and just in general, we now have less basically of the garbage bins," says Dorothy Setari, an Astoria resident.
"They said they had them, they took them out because store owners and home owners were abusing them. Why can't you ticket those people who abuse them instead of making everybody suffer," says Toro.
After people in the neighborhood contacted NY1 the station called the Sanitation Department. A spokeswoman explained Astoria Boulevard South from 32nd to 48th Streets is a residential area that doesn't meet the department's criteria for litter basket placement, which is busy transportation and shopping hubs and areas with high pedestrian traffic. She went on to say the department will continue to work with the community and elected officials on cleanliness issues.
It's a response that leaves residents frustrated and confused.
"They talk about don't litter it's against the law you can get a fine, where are we supposed to put the garbage?" says Toro.
If you'd like "NY1 For You" to look into a problem, call our 24-hour helpline at 212-379-3599 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Former Central High principal John Rist tapped to fill spot at Manchester West High in wake of McGorry resignation
The school board voted to authorize Superintendent Thomas Brennan to move forward with hiring a principal at West on a part-time basis at its meeting Monday night, following the same closed-door session in which Brennan recommended that the board approve the terms of the resignation of former West High principal MaryEllen McGorry.
McGorry was suspended at the beginning of the school year for reasons district officials have not disclosed to the board or the public. Under the terms approved by the board, she will be paid through April and will receive health benefits until June 30.
Brennan told the board during the non-public session that he intended to hire Rist for the remainder of the school year, according to several sources.
However, filling the position has been held up due to a motion at Monday's meeting from board member Art Beaudry requiring that it be in accord with New Hampshire Retirement System law that prohibits those receiving a pension from working more than 32 hours a week. Beaudry questioned how realistic it was to expect a principal to perform the job on a part-time basis.
The board ended up approving a motion allowing Brennan to hire a "part-time, short-term principal," along with Beaudry's amendment requiring him to verify its compliance with state pension law.
"We are circumventing the law when we put per-diem people in there that are collecting a pension from the NH Retirement System," Beaudry said ahead of the vote. "That is the double-dipping that they keep talking about up in Concord."
The vote on the amended motion was unanimous, except for one abstention and a no vote from Mayor Gatsas.
Gatsas said in an interview that he believed Rist could perform the job within the 32-hour-a-week limit. "I think he'll do a great job," Gatsas said. "I think somebody who has the experience of John Rist has the ability to do that."
Superintendent Brennan said on Wednesday that "no selection or assignment" has been made regarding the interim principal post at West. "John is one person is we're looking at," he said, adding that he has to get an answer from the Retirement System. He said expects to get one by the end of the week.
Several board members also objected to the rate of pay being considered for Rist, said to be around $90 an hour, which is higher than the usual rate.
Rist had led Central High and the Manchester School of Technology for 23 years before he retired in 2011. He is now a member of the State Board of Education, although his current term is set to expire today.
It's not clear what Rist's intentions are regarding any pension he receives from the state system. He did not return a call for comment on Wednesday.
School board member Beaudry has long been critical of re-hiring retired school administrators on a per-diem basis.
Last year, the school board approved the hiring of Elinor Murphy to serve as the interim principal at Parker-Varney Elementary School. She had been the longtime principal at Beech Street School until she retired in June 2012.
"There's no way anybody can run on a high school on a part-time basis," Beaudry said, referring to the prospect of hiring Rist. "We're deceiving the public, we're deceiving ourselves, and we're deceiving the Retirement System," he said, adding, "It's demeaning to the rest of the principals, who put in hundreds of hours of work a week."

Into e-books? Then you might find this of interest-
Publishers Weekly reports that Amazon.com has notified its publisher and author clients that it plans to cease offering e-books in the Microsoft Reader and Adobe e-book formats.
In the future, the online retailer says it plans to offer only e-books in the Kindle format (for wireless download to its Kindle reading device) and the Mobipocket format, both of which are owned by Amazon. The online retailer's note asks publishers and authors to make sure that Amazon has written permission to offer their books for sale in the Mobipocket format.
A piece appearing on the Time magazine site looks at the future of traditional and 21st century publishing and reading habits.
"A lot of headlines and blogs to the contrary, publishing isn't dying. But it is evolving, and so radically that we may hardly recognize it when it's done. Literature interprets the world, but it's also shaped by that world, and we're living through one of the greatest economic and technological transformations since--well, since the early 18th century. The novel won't stay the same: it has always been exquisitely sensitive to newness, hence the name. It's about to renew itself again, into something cheaper, wilder, trashier, more democratic and more deliriously fertile than ever."
The Science Fiction Blog io9 has a shorter post summarizing the Time article.
Error Correction of Project Gutenberg eBooks: This is a great and wonderful thing because the one thing in the history of eBooks that separates Project Gutenberg is an everlasting continuing process of improvement.
Hundreds of our eBooks are reissued each year with a variety of improvements, some technical, some in format and/or style of presentation, many with various error corrections.
Seeking to be everything to everyone, Nintendo is set to launch the 100 Classic Book Collection for the Nintendo DS. Since it's UK-specific, the cartridge with cost £20 (US$30) and will headline dead British authors William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and more. Presumably, if British consumers are willing to shell out £20 for a collection of public domain works, Nintendo will release similar collections around the globe.
Could book lovers finally be willing to switch from paper to pixels? Some could...but others, to quote the Times, "maintain an almost fetishistic devotion to the physical book".
According to the New York Times "the ebook is starting to take hold". Many Kindle buyers appear to be outside the usual gadget-hound demographic. Almost as many women as men are buying it, Mr. Hildick-Smith, president of the Codex group said, and the device is most popular among 55- to 64-year-olds. Codex is a book market research company.
Nobody knows how much consumer habits will shift. But the technology may have more appeal for particular kinds of people, like those who are the heaviest readers.
Perhaps the most overlooked boost to e-books this year — and a challenge to some of the standard thinking about them — came from Apple's do-it-all gadget, the iPhone. Several e-book-reading programs have been created for the device, and at least two of them, Stanza from LexCycle and the eReader from Fictionwise, have been downloaded more than 600,000 times. Another company, Scroll Motion, announced this week that it would begin selling e-books for the iPhone from major publishers like Simon & Schuster, Random House and Penguin.
All of these companies say they are now tailoring their software for other kinds of smartphones, including BlackBerrys.
Here is the opening paragraph of a thoughtful essay about the future of books and reading.
"The book is modernity's quintessential technology — 'a means of transportation through the space of experience, at the speed of a turning page,' as the poet Joseph Brodsky put it. But now that the rustle of the book's turning page competes with the flicker of the screen's twitching pixel, we must consider the possibility that the book may not be around much longer. If it isn't — if we choose to replace the book — what will become of reading and the print culture it fostered? And what does it tell us about ourselves that we may soon retire this most remarkable, five-hundred-year-old technology?"
One of my favorite comments: "For an increasing number of librarians, their primary responsibility is teaching computer research skills to young people who need to extract information, like little miners. But these kids are not like real miners, who dig deeply; they are more like '49ers panning for gold. To be sure, a few will strike a vein, stumbling across a novel or a poem so engrossing that they seek more. But most merely sift through the silty top layers, grab what is shiny and close at hand, and declare themselves rich."
First Brain Age and now ebooks. The Nintendo DS expands beyond games according to this London timesonline article:
"Nintendo, the Japanese video games company that brought us Donkey Kong and Mario the Plumber, is to announce a deal with the publisher HarperCollins today to make literary classics available to read on its DS portable games consoles.
The 100 Classic Book Collection ranges from Shakespeare and Dickens to Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. It will cost about £20 and will be available initially only in Britain. "
For the physical design, it looks ugly, it feels flimsy, and seems a bit tacky. You can't even hold the device in your hand without accidently pushing one of the buttons. It's not a case of having sausage fingers, it's more the palms of your hands which end up mashing the buttons. Whilst I'm aware this is a technology website, I never thought I'd recommend people stick to their books rather than a device which is meant to revolutionise reading.
Top publishers are revving up their libraries of digital books to capitalize on the presumed success and hype of the Amazon Kindle — actual sales are still based on speculation — but one big name is putting its money on a device that has proven its popularity: the iPhone.
"We're very bullish on that as a platform. We think it's gonna be a great competitor to Amazon," said David Langevin, VP and director of electronic markets for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.
Digital Textbooks Gaining Favor: As printed books get more expensive, electronic versions are on the rise as a popular, cost-saving alternative. Mary Hughes Stone, a psychology professor at San Francisco State, often directs her students to iChapters. Stone says it's an "optimal system" for visual learners and she sees "definite value" in the multimedia components. Because the e-books are distributed on the Internet, they also have the advantage of being weightless and easily accessible from any computer.

Mike was happy. He leaned in toward me, eyes wide, smile wide, arms wide. I leaned in until our foreheads were but inches apart and he erupted in laughter, giddy, giggling laughter.
Twenty minutes later, Mike was unhappy. A scowl on his face, he screeches, "'Side!" indicating he wants to go outside. He cries when told he must wait. The swing does not sooth him; the computer game is not amusing.
Another 20 minutes pass and Mike is happy again. This time the happiness continues the rest of the day. Raised eyebrows are paired with a chuckle. There are frequent requests for familiar games¬? "I'm gonna get you!" Mike is cheerful and content.
What happened? All day was great except for 20 minutes of a really unhappy guy. Oh, of course, he was asked to do something new. His schedule was changed.
"There is comfort in consistency, but growth in change." I am thinking of hanging that quote everywhere I go to remind myself. One in my house, one on my desk, maybe one in the van, all to remind myself of these two very important, very conflicting settings we create in our environments, consistency and change, the yin and yang of education, in fact, of life.
It is true for most people; it is certainly true for me. In menial, everyday actions, I find comfort in consistency. Driving the same route, wearing the same clothes, shopping at the same stores, listening to the same music, all of these things bring me comfort.
But it is when I stretch, when I change, that I grow. I find a new song I really like, drive by a pond I didn't know existed or I discover a flavor of tea that brings me new joy.
For me to stretch can be uncomfortable, it can make me nervous, anxious, maybe a little afraid, but it isn't too difficult for me to change. Then again, I'm neurotypical.
As I watch Mike, I see that change is much more difficult for him. Of course, he is affected by autism. His brain is wired so that noises can be quite painful (I know this because I have watched him howl in pain multiple times from unexpected, loud sounds.) He is also very sensitive to touch; a bump I wouldn't even find annoying can cause him to shed tears. This hyper-sensitivity can make life a lot less pleasant and make change a more frightening prospect.
So, as educators, we are sensitive to Mike's needs. We understand that Mike needs to feel safe to learn and if things are changing, Mike does not feel safe, therefore, Mike will not learn.
But wait ... isn't my new favorite quote, "There is comfort in consistency but growth in change?" How can I keep things consistent and still help Mike grow?
There is our balancing act. We must change, but it needs to be one thing at a time, in a controlled manner.
We work hard to keep the schedule consistent and to signal changes with both a verbal and a visual warning.
If Mike could control his curriculum, it would consist of familiar tasks done at the same time every day. But this would not teach Mike. So, I need to go against one rule, "Ensure children feel safe," to access another rule, "Teach the children." Mind you, the children always are safe; they just may not feel they are safe when things change.
Fortunately for Mike, he does adjust fairly quickly. We frequently remind ourselves, "Remember, the first time is the worst time."
Second go-round is much better, and by the fourth/fifth time, Mike has accepted the new activity into his schedule and he is rolling with it. All will be well until he has mastered that task, and we move on, changing his routine again.
Of course, hopefully, this curriculum of change will not only teach Mike reading, math, language and writing, but also teach him to accept change. Ah, now there is the prize.
So tomorrow, I will wear something different, drive a new route and scan for a new radio station. I may find my new shirt is itchy and hangs weird. I might get lost and be late for work.
Perhaps all of the other stations will have awful music or talk about subjects I am not interested in.
But I will take those chances for Mike. For tomorrow I will also ask Mike to change, and he shouldn't have to do it alone.

Which Project Runway Contestant Should Be the Fan Favorite?
by Entertainment 37 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Instead of letting us see the remaining designers' Bryant Park collections tonight, Project Runway is bringing us big egos, catty comments, and never-before-seen footage in the form of the annual reunion show. In addition to seeing all the crazy moments that didn't made it on the air, we'll find out who wins this year's Fan Favorite award, which comes with a $10,000 check. We know from Bravo's preview that the winning designer got the most votes "by a landslide." So, who is it? Did Christian's cockiness win viewers over or turn them off? Will Chris March's gregarious attitude win him the prize? Or will it be a sentimental favorite like Sweet P or Jack?

I was expecting it to be Chris, so when Christian won fan fave, I was surprised, but I do have to say I find him rather endearing. Yes, he's arrogant, but there's almost a sense of self-parody to it in a way. I dunno how to put it, but I've just found him to be a lot of fun throughout the season.

Boehner refused for weeks to accept any rate increases, and simultaneously accused Obama of skimping on the spending cuts he would support as part of a balanced deal to reduce deficits, remove the threat of spending cuts and prevent the across-the-board tax cuts.
Last week, the Ohio Republican presented a Plan B measure that would have let rates rise on million-dollar earners, well above Obama's latest offer for a $400,000 threshold.
Facing defeat, Boehner scrapped plans for a vote, leaving the economy on track for the cliff that political leaders in both parties had said they could avoid.___ Associated Press writers Alan Fram and Andrew Taylor contributed to this report.

A precision resistor of NiCr or SiCr has a refractive and thermal barrier layer beneath the resistor. The refractive barrier is a layer of refractory metal. The refractory metal prevents the incident laser beam of a laser trimmer penetrating lower layers of the device. Unwanted reflections and refractions caused by lower layers are avoided. The reflective barrier layer is a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, TiSi2 l3,14, CoSi2 15, MoSi2, TaSi2 and WSi2.
1. An integrated circuit with a precision trimmable resistor comprising:
a semiconductor device substrate;
one or more devices or an integrated circuit formed in the substrate;
an opaque reflective layer disposed over the substrate for reflecting a trimming laser beam;
a trimmable resistor layer disposed over the reflective layer; and
a transparent insulating layer disposed over the substrate between the reflective layer and the trimmable resistor layer.
2. The integrated circuit of claim 1 wherein the reflective layer comprises refractory material.
3. The integrated circuit of claim 2 wherein the refractory material comprises a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, TiSi2 13,14, CoSi2 15, MoSi2, TaSi2 and WSi2.
4. The integrated circuit of claim 1 wherein the insulating layer is silicon dioxide or silicon nitride.
5. The integrated circuit of claim 1 wherein the device substrate is oxide bonded to a handle substrate.
6. An integrated circuit with a trimmable precision resistor layer comprising:
a handle substrate;
a bond oxide layer for bonding the handle wafer to a device substrate;
a device substrate;
a refractory, reflective barrier metal layer over the device substrate for reflecting incident laser light;
a thermal barrier on the refractory, reflective barrier metal layer for insulating superior layers from heat generated when laser light strikes the refractory, reflective metal layer;
a laser trimmable precision resistor layer over the thermal barrier layer;
a planarized oxide layer over the laser trimmable precision resistor layer; and
a passivation layer over the planarized oxide layer.
7. The integrated circuit of claim 6 wherein the reflective barrier is a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, TiSi2 13,14, CoSi2 15, MoSi2, TaSi2 and WSi2.
The invention addresses the general problem of thin film microcircuit resistor fabrication and adjustment, and the specific problem of improving laser trimming to achieve circuit parametric values for such resistors.
The technique of laser trimming to bring thin film resistors to their circuit parametric values is well-known in the art. See Elshabini-Riad and Barlow, sections 5.6.4 through 5.6.7, Thin Film Technology Handbook, McGraw-Hill (1998). Current practice requires the tight process control of the thickness and optical properties of layers of the semiconductor wafer that lie below the thin film resistor layer, in an effort to avoid irregularities caused by non-uniform laser energy beam interference.
Consider the structure of a typical precision resistor as shown in FIG. 1. It has a silicon handle substrate 90 that is oxide bonded 80 to a silicon device substrate 70. A thermal oxide 60 is grown on the device surface. Layers of deposited dielectric materials 50 cover the thermal oxide 60. A precision trimmable resistor material 40 of NiCr or SiCr is deposited on the field dielectric layers 50. Another oxide layer 30 is deposited on resistor layer 40. The top oxide layer 30 is planarized and coated with a passivation nitride layer 20. Incident laser light 10 passes through all the layers until it is finally reflected or absorbed by the handle substrate 90. The reflections are shown by the arrows 55, 65, 75 and 85. Note that the path 10 of the laser beam is altered as it passes through the different materials that form the device.
After the incident laser beam passes through the NiCr or SiCr resistor, the beam encounters a number of other layers. The layers and the interface of one of the layers with another layer have different indices of refraction. As such, the laser beam is deflected from its incident path in accordance with Snell's law: the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction equal the ratio of the refractive indices of the materials. The laser beam is reflected by one or more of the lower layers onto the reverse surface of the resistor material. The reflected laser may be strong enough to chemically alter some of the resistor material and thereby alter the resistance in a manner not desired.
Thus, the quality of laser trim of precision thin film resistors can vary due to constructive and destructive interference of the laser's beam energy with layers above and below the resistor material. Trim quality is affected by optical properties and thickness of layers above and below the NiCr resistor. This effect has been confirmed both empirically and with computer simulation of optical effects. Consequently, many production wafer lots may be delayed due to poor laser trim. Laser trim quality is subjectively evaluated and some wafer lots are scrapped as a result of poor laser kerf quality, which can vary across a wafer or even across a single die. As a result of this problem, it may take an operator or an automatic laser trimming machine several cycles of operation, measurement and retrimming in order to trim the resistor to the precise resistance required by the integrated or thin film circuit.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,608,257 relates to laser cutting of a fusible link. It acknowledges the problem posed by a complex of underlying reflective and refractive layers. However it provides no solution to the problem posed by precision resistors.
The invention inserts a refractory material which acts as an optical barrier below the thin film resistor layer, and a dielectric film separating the refractory material from the thin film resistor in order to preserve the resistor's electrical behavior in the circuit. These layers eliminate the interaction of the laser trim with the lower layers of the semiconductor wafer including the silicon and dielectric layers, eliminating the need to control tightly the thickness and optical properties of these layers.
The proposed invention requires the addition of a refractive layer, and a dielectric layer, both below the laser-trimmed resistor films. This innovation ensures quality trim by eliminating laser energy interaction with device silicon and bond oxide layers below the barrier refractive layer. Since such device silicon and bond oxide lower layers can no longer affect the local intensity of the laser energy, the uniformity of laser trim and kerf is improved.
FIG. 1 is an overview of the current system and the manner in which laser energy used for resistor trim penetrates and is reflected by the layers of material in the semiconductor product.
FIG. 2 is an overview of the proposed system, showing the use of the refractory/barrier metal to eliminate reflective laser energy during resistor trim.
Refer to FIG. 2. The integrated circuit incorporates a device silicon layer 70 which includes one or more semiconductor devices or an integrated circuit. Such devices and integrated circuits and their respective fabrications are conventional. The device substrate 70 may or may not have a handle substrate 90 that is oxide bonded 80 to the backside of the device substrate 70. After formation of the devices or integrated circuit, the devices or integrated circuit are covered with a suitable insulators such as deposited or thermal oxides 50,60. These layers are covered by the refractory/barrier layer 100. In a device made in accordance with the invention such insulator layers are required to separate the devices from refractory barrier metal 100 which may be conductive. The layer 100 is deposited over the substrate and comprises a refractory material such as tungsten, titanium, molybdenum and refractory suicides such as TiSi2 13,14, CoSi2 15, MoSi2, TaSi2 and WSi2. A refractory material is desired to withstand the heat of the incident laser beam. A barrier oxide layer 110 is deposited on top of the refractory layer 100. The barrier layer 110 acts as both an electrical and thermal insulator to protect superior layers from excess heat generated by the incident laser on the reflective layer 100. That layer and the superior layers are substantially the same as conventional laser trim resistor layers discussed above.
Refer to FIG. 1. During semiconductor circuit design, precision trimmable resistors are incorporated into circuits as defined areas of a thin film of resistive material 40 such as NiCr or SiCr. Film 40 typically lies above bond oxide layer 80, device silicon layers 70, thermal oxide layer 60, and deposited field dielectric layers 50. To trim a resistor in film 40 to its required circuit parameter values, focused laser energy 10 is applied to chemically alter resistive material from film 40 in one or more patterns well known in the art. The laser effectively encases, mixes or otherwise combines the oxides on either side of the resistor material with the resistor material that is struck by the laser. The resistor becomes electrically discontinuous at that location. Some portion of laser energy 10 normally penetrates layers 50, 60, 70 and 80, and each of layers 50, 60, 70 and 80 reflects some portion of the incident energy upward toward resistor film 40. The wavelengths of incident laser energy 10 are sharply defined and highly coherent; consequently any variations in the thickness of any of layers 50, 60, 70 and 80 may result in significant interference-based variations in reflected trim laser energy 55, 65, 75 and 85. Such variations may in turn cause uneven kerf in the trim process, resulting in unreliable trim effects on resistor electrical behavior.
Refer to FIG. 2. The invention incorporates a refractory layer 100 and a thermal oxide/dielectric film 110 below each resistor in layer 40 to absorb laser energy which would otherwise penetrate to device silicon layers 70 and bond oxide layer 80 below the resistor. Layer 100 lies below layer 110, and its etch profile is sized beneath each projected resistor in a size sufficiently large to insure acceptable protection of the laser trim from stray laser energy that might otherwise escape into deeper layers 50, 60, 70 or 80. The invention tailors the thicknesses of layer 110 so as to minimize variations in reflections 55. Once resistor layer 40 is in place fabrication is completed by the application of normal vias in layers 30 and passivation nitride layer 20.
In a typical application a laser beam of 1.06 microns in wavelength had a wavelength of 1.06/1.45 microns or 7310 angstroms in oxide and 1.06/3.54 or 2994 angstroms in silicon. As the light is reflected off the reflective layer, constructive and destructive interference is created within that layer with a period of half of the wavelength in that material, or 1497 angstroms in silicon and 3655 angstroms in oxide. The amount of light escaping that layer also goes through minima and maxima, which is eventually detected as reflectivity of the NiCr layer. The reflective layer is typically a refractory material such as tungsten, titanium, molybdenum, TiSi2 13,14, CoSi2 15, MoSi2, TaSi2 and WSi2. Since the refractory material is conductive, it is electrically insulated from the resistor layer by a suitable, transparent insulating layer such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride.
The consequence of the use of the invention's process and design is the elimination of resistor-driven thickness control constraints on device silicon and dielectric layers, and significantly increased assurance that laser-trimmed thin film resistors operate within their planned circuit parametric values.
The description and summary above, together with the figures, present the invention's benefits in reducing inaccuracies in behavior of thin film resistors when laser trim is used. Apart from the refractory/barrier metal layer, the thermal barrier/isolation oxide layer and the resistor layer, the number and character of layers of insulating, conducting and semiconducting material may vary without affecting the operation and structure of this invention. Further, the invention's benefits apply across all forms of circuit produced in VLSI semiconductor fabrication, wherever thin film resistors are used and trimmed using laser methods. Finally, any constraints on device silicon and dielectric layer thickness imposed by the laser trim process for thin film resistors are relieved by the invention.
Although the description, embodiments and illustrative material above contain many specificities, these specificities should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations and examples of some of the preferred embodiments of the invention.
Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given above.

How to control Apple TV with a third-party remote
Here's a cool Apple TV feature that you probably didn't know about, particularly if you're like me and the third-generation Apple TV is your first foray into Apple's "hobby" device. In addition to the pre-packaged and somewhat spartan remote and Apple's more full-featured Remote app for iOS devices, it turns out you can control your Apple TV with virtually any third-party remote control. We first wrote about this feature about a year and a half ago, but we're guessing there are a lot of Apple TV newbies out there since the recent update, so it's worth a refresher.
On your Apple TV, head into Settings > General > Remotes. There, you'll find an option called "Learn Remote." From there, it's a simple matter of following onscreen instructions; press and hold the button on your remote that you want to have control the corresponding function you see on your TV.
In addition to the basic navigation functions, you also have the option to program more advanced playback functions. This will allow you to set up fast-forward, rewind, next chapter, and a handful of other functions on your third-party remote.
The whole procedure is pretty drop-dead simple, but results will vary depending on your remote. I didn't have any issues setting up the basic navigation functions on the remote that came with my surround sound system, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get the playback controls to pair up with my Apple TV. At the very least, having the basic nav functions let me toss the standard Apple TV remote in a drawer, so that's something.
This is one feature that Apple doesn't go out of its way to advertise, but like many other things Apple's done, I now find myself wishing everything worked this way. If my TV had a programming function like this, I could finally get down to one remote control without having to shell out extra money for a universal remote.

Man pleads guilty to tax evasion for funds from Krzyzaniak scam
May 15, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS—Earlier today in federal court, a Twin Cities-area man pleaded guilty to failing to file taxes knowing that his income was obtained from a $20-million investment scam. Harry Michael Quinn pleaded guilty to two counts of failure to file a tax return. Quinn, who was charged on April 5, 2012, entered his plea before United States District Court Chief Judge Michael J. Davis.
In his plea agreement, Quinn admitted that for tax years 2005 and 2006, he failed to file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), knowing that $113,665 of his income was given to him by Michael Joseph Krzyzaniak, who orchestrated the investment scheme. In February of 2012, Krzyzaniak was sentenced to 151 months in prison on one count of wire fraud and one count of income tax evasion.
For his crime, Quinn faces a potential maximum penalty of one year in prison on each count. Judge Davis will determine his sentence at a future hearing. This case is the result of an investigation by the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian S. Wilton.
Per U.S. Department of Justice policy, the U.S. Attorney's Office is not allowed to provide the age and city of residence for defendants charged in criminal tax cases.

The developer who wants to bring a controversial new mosque and Islamic center near the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan spoke exclusively with NY1 for his first extensive interview.
Sharif El-Gamal told NY1's Josh Robin that he blames the media for the furor over the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" and maintains the project will combat Islamic extremism.
The developer said he will not abandon his plans for the Cordoba House, which are drawing international attention, and insists he never anticipated the outrage his plans unleashed.
He also dismissed the suggestion he was being naive in thinking a mosque so close to the World Trade Center site would sail through without a hitch.
"It's not about being naive at all. I understand that there was such a misperception about Muslims and Islam. That's what this brought to my awareness, that there's a tremendous misperception about Islam..., that we are terrorists," said El-Gamal.
He said the media has only been interested in seeking out opposing viewpoints from the families of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
"The media went out and started looking for 9/11 family members that are opposed to the project, and they were specifically looking for people opposed to the project," continued El-Gamal. "Because on May 5, there was nobody opposed to the project. There was a unanimous vote from the community board, and that community board, everyone looked at each other and said, 'Wow, can you guys please build this sooner?'"
Critics, including Republican candidate for governor Rick Lazio, are raising questions about funding for the center.
El-Gamal said those who bought the building are all American citizens, but would not identify them.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who is also criticizing the proposal, recently took to her Twitter account asking that Muslims "refudiate" the mosque.
"I just started laughing. I could not believe that a potential presidential candidate cannot spell or cannot use the English language correctly," El-Gamal said.
The developer said fundraising for the center has not even started, but said he is already talking with security experts and will talk with the state attorney general's office about ensuring due diligence.
Lastly, El-Gamal says the sounds of prayer will not waft from the mosque to the World Trade Center site, addressing a key concern from those who lost family members in the terrorist attacks on September 11th.
"This isn't about converting people, this has nothing -- we don't need any Muslims, I have to be very honest with you," said El-Gamal.

Just looked at my Guide for tonight (DirecTV).
My guide is currently showing the Toronto/Boston game on CNBC from 7-8PM. CNBC is the correct channel according to NHL.com and NBC.com, but the game is going to last longer than one hour. So anyone recording that tonight needs to keep an eye out for that. And I guess all the games as the guide data hasn't been able to keep up with the NHL schedule updates.

Pfizer Rises As Analyst Expects Dividend Increase
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ Shares of Pfizer Inc. rose Wednesday after a Credit Suisse analyst said the world's largest drugmaker is likely to raise its dividend up to 20 percent later this month, less than a year after slashing its payout.
Analyst Catherine Arnold said it's likely Pfizer will raise its dividend to 18.5 cents from 16 cents, the start of a series of dividend increases over the next few years.
She said the decision could come as soon as Monday.
In morning trading, Pfizer shares picked up 39 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $18.15.In January, the New York company halved its quarterly dividend to 16 cents as it needed to pay for its $68 billion purchase of rival Wyeth. Arnold said a dividend increase to about 18.5 cents or 19.25 cents ¿ 74 to 77 cents for the full year ¿ would please most investors. She added that Wall Street expectations for Pfizer's drug pipeline are very low even though it will report late-stage clinical trial results for three drugs in 2010, with others due the following year. She said those could boost its stock. Pfizer will report trial data for its Prevnar 13 children's vaccine, its chronic pain drug tanezumab, and Alzheimer's disease drug Dimebon next year, she said. Pfizer did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

.- Bishop Filomeno do Nascimiento Vieira Dias of Cabinda, Angola, has issued a statement denounce the acts of violence and vandalism carried out in his diocese by groups that reject his episcopal authority.
In his statement, the Angolan bishop denounced groups and individuals that are "disturbing the normal functioning of the Catholic community of the Diocese of Cabinda, threatening priests and the laity who participate in liturgical celebrations." Priests and laity alike have been attacked with rocks and verbal assaults in recent weeks. Radical groups have occupied some parishes and committed acts of vandalism as well.
Bishop Vieira Dias exhorted Catholics to be courageous witnesses of fidelity to the Pope and to the Church, by "denouncing the authors of such acts to the competent authorities, as we are dealing here with persecutors of Christians and disturbers of the public order."
The bishop concluded his statement underscoring that "Catholics are those who serve the People of God according to the norms of the Church, because the opposite is to improperly take advantage of the name Catholic for purposes inconsistent with the life of the Church."

How Did Samsung Win With Smartphones? 'The Great Phone Incineration of 1995'
Originally published on Mon April 1, 2013 11:16 am
Businessweek has a great piece describing how Samsung came to dominate the smartphone industry. One secret of their success — quality control:
In 1995, Chairman Lee was dismayed to learn that cell phones he gave as New Year's gifts were found to be inoperable. He directed underlings to assemble a pile of 150,000 devices in a field outside the Gumi factory. More than 2,000 staff members gathered around the pile. Then it was set on fire. When the flames died down, bulldozers razed whatever was remaining. "If you continue to make poor-quality products like these," Lee Keon Hyok recalls the chairman saying, "I'll come back and do the same thing."
The lesson stuck. In May 2012, three weeks before the new Galaxy S III was to be shipped, a Samsung customer told the company that the back covers for the smartphone looked cheaper than the demo models shown to clients earlier. "He was right," says DJ Lee, the marketing chief of Samsung Mobile. "The grain wasn't as fine on the later models." There were 100,000 covers in the warehouse with the inferior design, as well as shipments of the assembled devices waiting at airports. This time, there would be no bonfire—all 100,000 covers, as well as those on the units at the airports, were scrapped and replaced.

The Hill House scarf was inspired by the high-back chairs designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for The Hill House, the house which he designed and furnished for the publisher Walter Blackie. It is double-knit, making it completely reversible and extra cosy.
30 stitches × 38 rows = 4" (10cm) in unblocked garter stitch.
28 stitches × 36 rows = 4" (10cm) in blocked garter stitch.
For the squares to be square when the scarf is finished, your blocked gauge needs to have a 4:6 stitches to row ratio.

"You earn reputation, and then you give reputation. If lots of people follow you, and then you follow someone--then even though this [new person] does not have lots of followers," his tweet is deemed valuable because his followers are themselves followed widely, Singhal says. It is "definitely, definitely" more than a popularity contest, he adds.
Makes sense, as long as they can filter out the automated junk.

Bringing my first warstory, and by title, you can guess it's a sunny team! I have a love for sun abusers.
Now, my opponent, unfortunately, doesn't get on Bulbagarden, but since he goes by it, I'll call him Aura.
Now our teams:
My team:
Pretty much, looking at his team I knew what to expect other than Azumarill. But still, he did put up a fight.
Onto the battle! (my name ingame is Crona)
Aura sent out Azu! (Azumarill)
Go! DEOXYS!
Figuring it's just pure offensive, I'll go for the Stealth Rock right away.
DEOXYS used Stealth Rock!
The foe's Azu used Waterfall!
Deoxys lives with only 37 HP! Assuming he'll go for Aqua Jet, I just go ahead and use Spikes anyway in case he doesn't even have it.
DEOXYS used Spikes! Spikes were scattered all around the feet of of the foe's team!
The foe's Azu used Substitute! The foe's Azu put in a substitute!
The foe's Azu restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Oh great, I do have some hazards but now he has a sub... guess I'll still use Spikes, no idea what he's gonna do.
The foe's Azu used Aqua Jet! DEOXYS fainted!
The foe's Azu restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
So he's got Aqua Jet... Oh well, I need my sun now.
Go! Holo(Ninetales)!
The sunlight turned harsh!
Mkay, first thing, I need to break the sub. He's not going to OHKO me and Aqua Jet can't even finish me off after a Waterfall. Let's go, SolarBeam!
Holo used SolarBeam! Holo absorbed light! The substitute took damage for the foe's Azu! It's super effective! The foe's Azu's substitute faded!
The foe's Azu used Waterfall! It's super effective!
Holo restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
The foe's Azu restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Ninetales lives with a good chunk, over a 3rd of its HP. But I know it can't KO Azu, so it's time to switch to a bulky monster.
Holo, switch out! Come back! Go, Shinigami (Dusclops)! Shinigami is exerting its Pressure!
The foe's Azu used Waterfall!
(skipping leftovers and such now)
Wow! Dusclops is a bulky mofo with Eviolite. That was only 1/8 of its HP! Now to burn Azumarill so it'll quit hurting my team...
Aura withdrew Azu! Aura sent out HeraBOSS (Heracross, duh)!
Shinigami used Will-O-Wisp! The foe's HeraBOSS was burned!
Should've thought through that more... now he's got an attack boost and probably scarf, this is bad.
The foe's HeraBOSS used Shadow Claw! It's super effective! Shinigami fainted!
Dunno if he's actually scarfed, but I'm betting he is. Either way, I don't wanna deal with it.
Go for it! SQUAWK (Zapdos)! SQUAWK is exerting its Pressure!
Aura withdrew HeraBOSS! Aura sent out Horny (Nidoking)!
SQUAWK used Heat Wave! The foe's Horny was burned!
Nice! Sadly, it's only got a sliver of HP so it's good for one attack, and this Zapdos is a bulky set so it won't kill it in time. However, I can soon fix that!
The foe's Horny used Ice Beam! It's super effective!
SQUAWK used Agility! SQUAWK's speed sharply rose!
SQUAWK restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
The foe's Horny was hurt by its burn! The foe's Horny fainted!
Aura sent out Aura (Lucario)!
The foe's Aura used ExtremeSpeed!
SQUAWK used Heat Wave! It's super effective! The foe's Aura fainted!
2 kills! All thanks to Zapdos's excellent bulk.
Aura sent out iHax (Porygon2)! It traced SQUAWK's Pressure!
I see what's gonna happen here...
SQUAWK! Enough! Get back!
You're in charge, Holo!
iHax used Toxic! Holo was badly poisoned!
Aura withdrew iHax! Aura sent out Azu!
Holo used Heat Wave! The foe's Azu avoided the attack!
I missed...
Holo used SolarBeam! Holo absorbed light! It's super effective!
The foe's Azu used Waterfall! It's super effective! Holo fainted!
Time to bring the pain.
Go for it, RAIKOU!
RAIKOU used Thunderbolt! It's super effective! The foe's Azu fainted! RAIKOU lost some of its HP!
One down.
Aura sent out iRock!
RAIKOU used Weather Ball! It's super effective! iRock fainted!
2 down, bet he didn't see Weather Ball coming!
Aura sent out iHax!
RAIKOU used Calm Mind! RAIKOU's Special Attack rose! RAIKOU's Special Defense rose!
The foe's iHax used Recover!
RAIKOU used Aura Sphere! It's super effective!
The foe's iHax used Toxic!
RAIKOU used Aura Sphere! It's super effective! The foe's iHax fainted!
Aura sent out HeraBOSS!
Here I will find out if he's scarfed or not. He has a chance to win if it is.
The foe's HeraBOSS used Stone Edge! RAIKOU fainted!
Just a little more! Hang in there, SQUAWK!
The foe's HeraBOSS used Stone Edge! It's super effective! SQUAWK fainted!
This is gonna be close...
Your foe's weak! Get 'em, Victini!
The foe's HeraBOSS used Stone Edge! It's super effective!
Victini used Trick Room! Victini twisted the dimensions!
The foe's HeraBOSS was hurt by its burn! The foe's HeraBOSS fainted!
In the end, max HP max Attack Victini wins... Reason I used Trick Room was because I have Life Orb, and if he had brought me down low enough, it'd have been a draw from the recoil.
Closest battle I had in Black and White so far!
