New ultra-thin glass is just two atoms thick, earns Guinness World Record
A new record for the world's thinnest sheet of glass has been set, and it comes in at just two atoms thick. The ultra-thin glass, now recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, was an accidental discovery by scientists at Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm. As they were working to produce pure graphene, the researchers noticed a formation of "muck," but closer analysis revealed a glass layer composed of silicon and oxygen. In other words, this major discovery was something of a stroke of luck. Scientists suspect that an air leak prompted a reaction between copper foils being used for the graphene work and a quartz furnace.
And despite the glass pane's barely-there size, it's providing scientists with a wealth of…

Logitech announces Ultrathin Keyboard Folio, Folio Protective Case for iPad mini
Logitech just can't stop making keyboard cases for iPad minis, and its third set in six months includes the new Ultrathin Keyboard Folio, which melds familiar elements — water-repellant materials, Bluetooth connectivity — with a few novel ones. Namely, iOS shortcut keys for copying and pasting and a magnet system called SecureLock to keep your slate anchored. What the firm is claiming is its thinnest and lightest keyboard folio to date will cost you $ 89.99 — that's the same price as March's version, or $ 10 more than February's model. Also fresh is the key-less Folio Protective Case that does double duty as a multi-position stand, and will sell for $ 49.99, about $ 10 over Apple's own Smart Cover. The good news is that if you dig either of these, they'll be available direct from the manufacturer later this month. If not? Well, there's bound to be a different model or two by the end of next week.

A preview of the future: Fujitsu's ultrathin 3200 x 1800 ultrabook
Fujitsu's UH90 is the company's first Haswell ultrabook — the world's thinnest, it says, at 15.5 millimeters, and with a new construction method that lets enables it to support up to 440 pounds. But what really sets it apart is Sharp's IGZO display, which, at 3200 x 1800 pixels and 262 ppi, is one of the brightest and sharpest we've ever seen.
The screen performs admirably next to a 321-ppi iPhone 5 display — colors look a touch washed out, but otherwise very impressive. It measures 14 inches, but thanks to the incredibly slim bezel (one of the benefits of IGZO), Fujitsu was able to cram it into a body that's just a hair wider than Apple's MacBook Air.

Seagate ships 5mm Laptop Ultrathin hard drive to ASUS, Dell and more
Western Digital may have been quick to release a 5mm hard drive, but it doesn't have a lock on the category: Seagate is entering the fray by shipping its own slim disk, the Laptop Ultrathin. Like its rival, the drive stuffs as much as 500GB of conventional, rotating storage into SSD-like dimensions ideal for Ultrabooks and some tablets. It even costs the same $ 89 as its WD counterpart, although we're more likely to find the disk built into our next PC than pick one up as an upgrade. Both ASUS and Dell have chosen the Laptop Ultrathin for new models, and we suspect they won't be alone.

Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)
Other Names - Barlow's Syndrome, Floppy Valve Syndrome and Ballooning Mitral Valve Syndrome.
The mitral valve controls the flow of blood between two chambers of the heart called the left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood flow has to occur only in one direction (from the atrium to the ventricle). In mitral valve prolapse (MVP) the valve fails to close properly. The flaps of this valve bulge (prolapsed) upward or back into the atrium during contraction of the ventricle. This may lead to leakage of blood backward into the left atrium.
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is a relatively common but highly varying clinical syndrome. MVP is more common in females especially those between the ages of 15 and 30 years. Older people (commonly males) above 50 years may also be affected. MVP is not life-threatening in most of the cases and may not requirement treatment.

Experts say recent weather not unusual
Piles of golf-ball sized hail filled the streets of Santa Rosa earlier this week.
"I'm 72 years old, this has never happened in all the time I've been coming here," said resident Denny Duran.
Two feet of hail dumped on the city. Even though most called it strange weather, experts say it's not an anomaly.
"It's actually not all that unusual, it just happened to be right over I-40, right over the city and got a lot of attention," said Jennifer Palucki with the National Weather Service.
The storm broke a 100-year-old window at a church and caused a carport to collapse.
"A lot of times it occurs where there are no people so we don't get pictures or reports of it," Palucki said.
Hail and rain also hit Albuquerque this week. Meteorologists say it's just the time of year for it.
"We always have to have a thunderstorm with hail," Palucki said. "The one here in Albuquerque, we had up to nickel-size hail on the east side of the city, that storm was moving (a) little quicker, so we didn't see the piles and piles of hail we saw in Santa Rosa."

Hello, is w3c capable of PUT on https server? When I run: $ w3c -o w3c-https-put.log -put mytest.txt -dest https://localhost.localdomain/test/free/test-put.txt Read (0% of 1K) ...nothing happens, I have to kill w3c with Ctrl+C Is this command OK? What does "Read (0% of 1K)" indicates? When running wireshark, it captures no packets. Server is hopefully OK, because of curl uploads file as expected: $ curl --upload-file mytest.txt --insecure https://localhost.localdomain/test/free/test-put.txt Any thoughts?

Hawaiian sets company record for passengers in 2013
Hawaiian Airlines set a new record in its 84-year history with 9,935,743 passengers transported in 2013. That's up 4.8 percent from the previous year.
Hawaiian has led all U.S. carriers in on-time performance for each of the nine past years, as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Consumer surveys by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and Zagat have all ranked Hawaiian the highest of all domestic airlines serving Hawaii.
Hawaiian is Hawaii's biggest and longest-service airline and the largest provider of passenger air service from its primary visitor markets on the U.S. mainland. Hawaiian also offers non-stop service to Hawaii from more U.S. gateway cities than any other airline, along with service from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa and Tahiti.
New non-stop service will begin between Honolulu and Beijing in April 2014, subject to government approvals.
Hawaiian provides about 160 jet flights daily between the Hawaiian Islands.

How many single people really choose to be single? That's a question I am asked fairly often, typically by people who are skeptical that even one person would really want to live outside of Married Couples Land.
One way to approach that question is to look at survey data. For example, a 2010 Pew Research Report described the results of a national survey of single people. Asked if they wanted to get married, only 46% said yes, for sure (Taylor, 2010). Twenty-five (25) percent said no—these are the single people who are choosing to be single. Another 29% said they were not sure.
Among those single people who had been married in the past, even more of them—46%—are choosing to stay single.
What we do not know is how many people would choose to be single if single people were not the targets of stereotyping and discrimination and all of the other forms of singlism. What if society regarded single life as just as valid as any other life? Then how many people who choose to be single?

Bank of America's earnings soar 70 percentBy CHRISTINA REXRODE
The Associated Press | July 18,2013AP PHOTO
A Bank of America branch is seen along Peachtree Street, Tuesday in Atlanta.NEW YORK — Bank of America says its second-quarter profits soared, helped by higher earnings from investment banking and cost-cutting.
The results, reported early Wednesday, beat analysts' expectations. The bank earned $3.6 billion in the quarter after payments to preferred shareholders. That was up 70 percent from $2.1 billion a year ago.
Per share, that worked out to 32 cents. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected 25 cents per share. The bank's stock rose 1.7 percent in late morning trading.
Bank of America, the country's second-biggest bank by assets, has been slimming down and cutting jobs since CEO Brian Moynihan took over at the beginning of 2010, a departure from the empire-building of his predecessors. The strategy meant to make the bank easier to manage and to escape potential extra scrutiny from regulators.
In the second quarter, the bank slashed expenses about 6 percent, to $16 billion from $17 billion a year ago. It also cut about 18,300 jobs over the year, or nearly 7 percent of its work force. The bank now has about 257,000 employees, down about 11 percent from its peak of nearly 289,000 in early 2011.
In a call with reporters, Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson noted that some of the job cuts were in the unit that services troubled mortgages, which is shrinking as the bank works through those loans. He also said the bank had added jobs in the unit that makes new mortgages.
The bank has also been closing branches. The number of branches fell to about 5,300, down by about 260 over the year.
Thompson said the bank would continue to trim branches, and indicated that the bank would sell branches in more rural areas — in locations "outside of our principal operating areas" and where the bank didn't have "a critical mass of consumers."
Bank of America benefited from lower litigation expenses, having already settled several high-profile lawsuits related to its mortgage unit earlier this year. It also was able to shrink the unit that services troubled mortgages.
The bank funded nearly $27 billion in home mortgages and home equity loans, a jump from 41 percent a year ago, though the loss in its overall mortgage business widened as the bank wound down its troubled mortgages.
Thompson said it was difficult to predict the effect that higher interest rates might have on its mortgage business. Though they're still near historic lows, mortgage rates have been inching higher since the Federal Reserve indicated that it might pull out of some of its programs meant to support the economy.
Thompson noted that higher rates often indicated an improving economy, which could lead to more people buying homes for the first time. But higher rates will also reduce demand for refinances, which have been driving the mortgage business at Bank of America and other banks in recent quarters. About 83 percent of the mortgages that Bank of America funded over the quarter were refinances.
The net result, Thompson said, "is very difficult to predict until you see the environment you're in."
Investment banking and wealth management powered Bank of America's earnings more than its consumer business did.
Total revenue was $22.9 billion after stripping out one-time charges, up 3 percent from a year ago. That was better than the $22.8 billion expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
Bank of America's stock rose 24 cents to $14.16. It's up 22 percent this year.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Can the U.S. Full StoryJACKSON CENTER, Ohio Bob Wheeler still gets the question sometimes when people find out he runs...

Pretty Little Liars Season Finale Review: That Was It?!?by Teresa Lopez at . Comments
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" had a lot of exciting and thrilling scenes that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Still, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the season finale. The show has made it a habit to give a few answers just to take them away again. Remember Spencer and the hotel room? Or how about the trophy incident? The same thing happened this week, even though the promos suggested some real revelations. A is always a hundred steps ahead of these girls and it's getting a little ridiculous.
So, after months of speculation and hours of entertaining teenage angst, what do we know?
Well... Ian killed Allison and videotaped all the girls, including Jenna - and that's about it. Everything else that happened this week just raised more questions. To be fair, some interesting information was revealed about Jenna, Ian, and newcomer Officer Garrett. HOWEVER, nothing was really resolved.
Ian's dead, but then he's really not. At the very least, this one loose end should have been tied up. Now Ian will haunt the series like a bad horror movie villain, never dying, and always ready to pop out from behind a dark corner to scare the girls. Just like Mike Myers or Jason. I think we have enough mysterious, hooded figures on the show.
The Jenna and Garrett thing also felt a little too convenient. We just met him a few episodes ago, but it turns it out he's a major conspirator on Jenna's behalf. Does he know what's on the video that she desperately needs back? Does he know she was forcing Toby to have sex with her and lying about it? It definitely seems like the kind of information that would kill a relationship.
Luckily, he didn't recover the flash drive, but then, who did? If Ian had it in his pocket, he could still have it or A might have taken it. See what I mean about all the new questions?
Other than Ian, Jenna revealed that her part in this mystery is really all about self-preservation. Her new version of the story of Ali's visit made more sense given what we know about Ali, and her relationship with Garrett seems particularly useful for her needs. I'm guessing she's has no real connection to Ian because Ian seemed to know A and neither she nor Garrett could have been in that bell tower. We'll find out how the Jenna-Garrett angle plays out next season.
In other news, it was great to see Lucas come back as our hero. Disregarding Mona's "generous" offer to transform into someone cooler, he picked up Caleb so that he and Hanna could resolve their problems. It's still sad that he can't be a romantic interest for her, but I was glad to see him again.
Emily's moving to Texas for a year, which could prove detrimental to all of her relationships (both old and new) and make A's harassment a little more difficult. The long distance probably won't keep her out of danger, but we might get a little less Emily in the future, which is kind of a relief. Her plot lines have been kind of slow lately.
Aria's little tantrum over Ezra's ex showing up at the faculty mixer was just ridiculous. Just when she starts to act like a mature adult, she ruins it with petty jealousy. They were finally free to date openly (at least until her father finds out) and she had to create drama. It's true that unexpectedly seeing your boyfriend's ex is alarming, but her accusations were a little extreme.
This was an entertaining, although somewhat unsatisfying, finale to the show. Luckily, we won't have to wait too long for the new season (June!) and, hopefully, for some more answers.
What did you think of what we learned?
i bet it was toby who knocked ian off..because at spencers house he said "if you need anything tonight, ill be there" and spencer definately needed help..
@Artesia Nor Con really? NO WAY!
Okay so I'm going out on a limb here...but could A be Sean? I mean, think about it; his dad is the reverend so if he was to drag Ian out of the church before the cops showed up, he'd no the fastest way to get out or any short cuts. I know it's a stretch but this show is already confusing. Would it really be surprising if they threw this curve ball at us?
i saw noel was back, who knows he could have been the one helped spencer, and on a different note, is there going to be the usual round table ??
Umm, seriously how many seasons do you really think were gonna have to wait for the who is A? Unfortunately I'm done. Wait an entire season for that. I can't imagine anything worse then if the show is on for a couple of years and being texted by A.
Has no one else noticed that NOEL WAS BACK!!!??? He showed up at the end of the episode standing outside the church just watching the girls. Seriously, am I the only one who reads the list of guest stars when the show comes on? It said Brant Daughtery! And I definitely saw Noel standing there at the end! What could that mean!?
I had the feeling that Caleb and Lucas where in the car that crushed into Spencer and Melissa's. Am I the only one who thought that? xo xo from Spain
A few things: if Ian is still alive, then he has to explain his disappearance from the church--OR, he's going to play it off as if it never happened and Spencer is imagining things. Except the other girls heard him through the phone. We don't know, for sure, who else may have known that Spencer was going to the church. She was obviously followed by Ian--but someone else knew, as well, and we can only speculate who that was. As to Aria getting jealous--geez, she's a kid--of course she's going to feel threatened by a beautiful, accomplished WOMAN who was recently engaged to her boyfriend. That reaction should be proof to Ezra that he needs to get out of that relationship--fast. One other thing about the flash drive--the girls stopped watching the videos. Maybe there was something else on that drive, that they haven't seen, that implicates yet another person in the whole mystery...
I was so surprised watching the whole episode; i watched it twice. So when Alison told Jenna that she'd "bury" her... was she not aware that it would be her instead. I mean the whole Ian + Ali thing, that video... i think Melissa was there and her & Ian had killed Alison. Why? well, in the video, it doesn't show Ian hurting her, she just falls to the ground. And maybe Melissa had suffocated her because in the show, Ian said she commited suicide. But, Spencer said she suffocated. Maybe thats why Spencer can't trust anyone, including her sister. She probably knows more than she should. And i think that whole accident seen with Melissa and how she convienently needed a ride and "forgot" her phone was all just to trick Spencer into going to the church. I bet the car accident was all planned out, maybe it was officer garrett? I think it could have been him because him, jenna, and ian all had something to do with eachother. And that whole part about Ian trying to hurt Spencer... what a creap! I think Ian knows who A is and they were working together to trick the little liars. I mean... how could he be hanging so perfectlly in that rope. Maybe A and Ian did this just so the girls could get into trouble for trying to blackmail him. And maybe A is closer to them then they may think. I hope that next season we'll see if Hanna's relationship with Caleb actually happens, If Emily and Maya, Paige, or Samara workout, If Spencer and Toby last... afterall, Toby was someone she should've been watching out for.. and now it may be Spencer he should be watching out for, and last of all Aria and Ezra.. their relationship is sort of boring. I think if Aria and Ezra both found new interests that would be better because they are constantly fighting over the lamest things. A- is yet to be revealed.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" (PS3)

I never played any of the other Elder Scrolls games, but Skyrim seems to have transcended the series and become perceived as a title unto itself.
At first, while I liked it okay, I just found myself thinking, "What was all the fuss about?" I generally don't like open world games, because having a whole world of limitless possibilities to explore is just over... read more
Description: The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself ... (more)

Why Gold Is Crashing
Assuming a decline in the gold price to only $1,300 per ounce, gold stocks probably have another 25% downside, at least, before this cyclical bear market in gold runs its course. For example, Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) can probably ultimately be bought for less than $25, whereas Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) can probably be bought in the $11 range within the next three months.
The reason is that many gold miners simply can't justify their current lofty market capitalizations on the basis of projected earnings and cash flow, even with gold prices at $1,300.
And a few gold miners that have been caught wrong-footed in the midst of expensive capital expenditure projects will be shut out from capital markets and will face insolvency and/or the need to make highly dilutive secondary offerings.
The distress of just two or three companies in the sector will typically set off panic selling in the whole group, as the majority of gold stock investors have no idea whether the stocks they own could become the next distress situation.I doubt the secular bull market in gold is actually over. But a cyclical bear market in gold is upon us now, and it will not have run its full course until it has inflicted maximum pain on the speculative holders of "paper gold," effectively running the weakest hands out of the market, properly setting the stage for a possible final leg in the secular bull market in gold.

Mayor referenced the use of the bicycle as compared to writing.
"How many of you didn't crash the first time you rode that bicycle?"
No hands went up.
"Yes, it takes practice. I wrote six turkeys before getting published. At least I asked what I needed to do to improve my craft," he said
When asked his favorite book, Mayor said, "That would be my next book, which is up here in my head."
Mayor's advice included the following:
•Avoid stopping at the end of a chapter.
•Leave open-ended sentences so that when you go back to it, you can keep the flow going.
•Never give up your full-time job since the odds are against you.
Fascinating for most was that Mayor lived in Europe and Argentina most of his life and still does not understand our English language.
He asked students-"Can you please tell me what an adverb is? I have no clue. That's why I have five different editors."
Mayor lived in 30 different places since his father, who died at age 99, had the family moving around a lot.
"My dad said, 'Never quit, always get fired.'"
In 1988 Mayor had three books published, two history books and one novel.
"I quit my job not taking my father's advice," he said.
Old-fashioned curiosity and nosiness involved Mayor involved in forensics. "I wanted to know why do we do what we do to each other."
The question of "CSI" and "NCIS" television shows popped up; Mayor said that although he does not get to watch much T.V., he loves "CSI Las Vegas". He agreed that "NCIS" was more true to life.
At Yale Mayor majored in U.S. history so that he could learn about Americans and why people did not care for them in the other countries he had lived in.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chevrolet says it is assessing a fire in the trunk of the pace car at Daytona international Speedway.
The car manufacturer says the Chevrolet SS pace car has an auxiliary electrical kit in the trunk. The kit operates the car's numerous caution lights.
Chevy has not linked the electrical kit to the fire.
Black smoke began billowing from the pace car right before the third segment of the Sprint Unlimited race. Flames could be seen shooting from the rear of the car as it sat on the apron. The pace car driver and passenger safely exited the vehicle.
A replacement pace car was brought out to finish the race.
Race winner and Toyota driver Denny Hamlin quipped, "Should have been driving a Camry."
