The Big Ten and ACC are generally considered the two best basketball conferences this season, which makes this year's Big Ten/ACC Challenge extra delicious. This league showdown is done the right way, with a dozen games spread across two nights of outstanding nonconference action. Here's a look at the slate's best games, in order.Start Slideshow
When: Today, 9:15 p.m., ESPNNext
Setting the scene: Michigan has struggled away from home this season (the Wolverines lost at Iowa State and to Charlotte in Puerto Rico), but a relatively undersized Duke squad has struggled to contain opposing post players. If Michigan big man Mitch McGary stays out of foul trouble and sees a consistent diet of entry passes, the Wolverines could pull off the upset.
When: Tuesday, 7:15 p.m., ESPNNext
Setting the scene: This is a rematch of the Sweet 16 contest between these two schools this March, when the Orange throttled the top-seeded Hoosiers with their zone, which left Indiana looking flummoxed much of the game. Indiana is learning to score without departed stars Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller and Christian Watford, but the Hoosiers are showing signs of learning how to take advantage of their raw athleticism. -
When: Wednesday, 7 p.m., ESPN2Next
Setting the scene: The last time a top program visited Charlottesville, the VCU Rams left with a victory in early November. Virginia coach Tony Bennett's squad has rattled off six straight wins, but that streak will be challenged by Wisconsin, which is 8-0 this season and showing newfound offensive firepower. It's the start of a big week for coach Bo Ryan's Badgers, who face in-state rival Marquette on Saturday. -
When: Wednesday, 9 p.m., ESPNNext
Setting the scene: The host Spartans are one of only two teams in the top 10 of both the kenpom.com adjusted offensive and adjusted defensive efficiency ratings. Ironically, the only other school is Louisville, the team North Carolina shocked with a 93-84 win on November 24. Don't expect similar magic this time around for the Tar Heels. -
When: Wednesday, 7 p.m., ESPNNext
Setting the scene: Ohio State's defense has been suffocating so far this year. The Buckeyes are holding opponents to 53.3 points per game, which is second in the country. And that's not just a tempo-driven statistic—they're also No. 1 in the kenpom.com defensive efficiency rating. -
When: Tuesday, 9:15 p.m., ESPN2Next
Setting the scene: The Irish have played five cupcakes and Indiana State, and they lost at home to the Sycamores by 13 points at home. They'll need to play much better—and the talent is there to do so—if they have any hope of winning at Iowa. -
When: Tuesday, 9:30 p.m., ESPNUNext
Setting the scene: The Seminoles are a few bounces from entering this game undefeated and ranked in the Top 25—they lost by two points to Michigan in overtime and by one point on the road at Florida. The Golden Gophers are coming off a disappointing trip to Hawaii (yes, that's possible), after losing to Syracuse and Arkansas, and needing a second-half comeback to beat Chaminade in the Maui Invitational. -
When: Tuesday, 7:15 p.m., ESPN2Next
Setting the scene: Hey, it's a rematch of last year's ACC-Big Ten contest between the Fighting Illini and Yellow Jackets. Illinois won that one, 75-62, but this year's squad has a completely different look after graduation did its thing to the roster. The Illini are young, but they're 7-0 and raised plenty of eyebrows when they went into UNLV and handed the Runnin' Rebels a two-point loss. -
When: Wednesday, 9 p.m., ESPN2Next
Setting the scene: Boston College has an outstanding one-two combo—point guard Olivier Hanlan is averaging 21.7 points per game and big man Ryan Anderson is at 19.0—and started the year with high expectations, but the Eagles lost four of their first five games and needed overtime to beat a one-win Sacred Heart team in their most recent contest. -
When: Wednesday, 9:30 p.m., ESPNUNext
Setting the scene: Nebraska might not be an NCAA Tournament team under coach Tim Miles quite yet, but Lincoln won't be a fun place for the Big Ten bigwigs to play this season. Miami will find out why on Wednesday. -
When: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., ESPNUNext
Setting the scene: These in-state rivals have played 145 times through the years, but not since a 2005 meeting that Pitt won by 37 points. Penn State has the edge overall in the rivalry, though (75-70). -
When: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., ESPNU
Setting the scene: Northwestern's eternal quest to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time hasn't started well. The Wildcats are just 4-4 so far this season, and can't really afford to lose any more games at all, especially to a rebuilding club like N.C. State.

Orange is hoping its latest branded smartphone, the Gova, will help make its LTE networks more popular.
Microsoft will soon offer an update to its Windows Phone operating system that will bring a number of new features targeted at enterprise users.
With developing markets in its sight, Microsoft is making a number of changes to Windows Phone that it hopes will result in a wider range of less expensive devices.
Samsung will soon put on sale two new smartwatches, the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo, which both run its Tizen operating system instead of Android.
The newer smartphone OS entrants competing to chip away at the dominance of Android and iOS are heading to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, and facing a landscape that has changed since last year's show.
Orange is hoping it can compete more effectively with over-the-top messaging vendors thanks to an upgraded version of its Libon service that lets uses chat with anyone who has a device with an HTML browser.
Faster and more flexible mobile networks enabled by small cells, virtualization and next-generation LTE are expected to highlight infrastructure trends at Mobile World Congress next week.
The first smartphones based on a mobile version of Canonical's Ubuntu Linux operating system will be launched this year, the company's CEO said Wednesday.
Alcatel-Lucent is betting big on operators wanting to virtualize their mobile networks using NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) technology, in order to become more nimble and less reliant on proprietary hardware.
The two most talked about smartphones ahead of this year's Mobile World Congress sit at opposites sides of the spectrum; the low-end Android-based Nokia X and Samsung Electronics' new flagship model, the Galaxy S5.
ZTE plans to unveil a range of "high-performance smartphones" in Barcelona next week, including the Grand Memo II LTE with a 6-inch screen.
European operators that want to offer their enterprise customers PTT (push-to-talk) services can turn to Ericsson and Kodiak Networks, which have launched a hosted platform they can use.
LG Electronics has introduced the third generation of its low-end L series, with three new smartphones that all run Android 4.4 or KitKat.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Best pants
Just bought my second pair of smarty cargos. Bought first pair 6 years ago. Same style. Wouldn't have needed the new pair if they didn't start to fit like spandex. Grew out of them ya!!! These pants will hold up through anything and hold all you need for a day of shredding. The only thing I miss with the new set that my old set had is the hidden tethered bottle opener in the leg. Imma drinker, not a smoker.

At a time when over 90% of the U.S. population lives in urbanized areas, far too many communities suffer from limited access to fresh, healthful, and affordable food. Alliance for Community Trees launched Community Groves℠ to offer a new path to improve the health and livability of neighborhoods through planting, maintaining, and harvesting fruit and nut trees.
Community Groves℠ demonstrates that the urban forest can play a critical role in urban agriculture. Community Groves℠ of fruit and nut trees will provide fresh food, educate residents about nutrition and agriculture, bring neighbors together, and revitalize vacant or derelict urban lands.
Support for Community Groves℠ grants is provided in part by the US Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry Program. "Planting fruit and nut trees is an effective urban practice for creating greener and healthier communities," said Janette Davis, Assistant Director for Urban and Community Forestry at the USDA Forest Service. "Community Groves℠ is a powerful national program that connects urban forestry and community agriculture."
2014 Community Groves℠ Grants
Community Groves℠ Grants provide funding to help local organizations grow fruit and nut trees. In 2014, ACTrees is pleased to offer 12 grants nationwide up to $2,500 for ACTrees members to plant Community Groves℠ in their communities. Grants require a 1:1 non-federal match. Learn more about 2014 Community Groves℠ Grants Recipients.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ernie & Wilbur!
Facts about Ernie & Wilbur
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ernie & Wilbur's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Just check out the picture of Ernie and Wilbur and you will fall in love with these boys. Ernie and Wilbur came to us when their family fell on hard times and were no longer able to keep them. Ernie is 8-9 years old and Wilbur is 5. We want to keep them together as they are so bonded. They are so sweet and loving and do great with other dogs, kids and just about everyone! Ernie is the older one and does have some arthritis but he needs to lose a few pounds and he will feel so much better. Both of the dogs will be neutered, current on all vaccinations and rabies. These two are total LOVE bugs and if you meet them you will agree. Their adoption fee is 300 for both of them.
Other Pets at Hope's Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ernie & Wilbur, a Ogden Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Ogden, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Ogden.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ogden already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ogden breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ogden paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi everyone! I have two questions. In a previous thread, I'd asked whom I should hire to install appliances and all of you said a GC was the best person for the job. Well, we had all but confirmed the GC recommended by the place we bought our appliances from ( Pacific Sales - Southern CA) when he told us today that he could not do the job as he had hurt his back. So we went back to the names given by Pacific Sales and only two others were available - one is a GC but said he does not do anything plumbing-related, which means he won't install the faucet, garbage disposer, air gap, soap dispenser. The other is a plumbing installer and he said he could install everything : dw, gas cooktop, garbage disposer, faucet/air gap/soap dispenser...*and* double oven, which latter I found strange as I was under the impression that double ovens are best installed by GC's or electricians. Should we just hire him for all *but* the double oven? My next question has to do with price; this is what he quoted us - I know that a garbage disposer install alone will be around 100 at least, but I don't know about the other prices. If any of you are in Southern CA and know of a good GC installer, please let me know. I'm finding it quite difficult to get a licensed installer, believe it or not; I look at the Licensing website and so many of the installers near where I live, have expired or suspended licenses! (Pacific Sales has a disclaimer saying they only recommend the people on that list but otherwise have no connection to their services and the customer is free to hire anyone else. So if anything goes wrong with the installation, we cannot hold them responsible.) Thank you, everyone! |

Are the appliances gas or elec. and is there a range hood, wood appliance panels and have the knobs and pulls been installed? |

snoonyb: Gas cooktop, electric double oven. No wood appliance panels. Yes, knobs and pulls have been installed. Cooktop is in its own brick-arched alcove which basically acts as a hood, with vent fan above ( vents to the outside). |

Those prices, including the DW, don't seem that bad. I know you question the DW, but it needs electric, water, and drain hook up plus leveling, testing, and securing to the counter or cabinets. It takes some time. If that includes removal/disposal of the current DW that would be a bargain. If all the ovens need is to be connected to the power via an already installed dedicated line, that should be something relatively easy. He's already doing basic electric hook up for other things, that would not be much different. If the oven hook up requires installing the dedicated line and then hook up, I'd hire an electrician. |

You are all so kind. williamsem: Thanks. Good to know the DW price is about right. Our old dw has been removed ( as have all our old appliances). snoonyb: thanks for the recommendation, though area code 562 is quite far from us. meek95: San Fernando Valley - thanks! |
You are correct. the farthest installation I have done for him was Ventura. Just as a comparison, my prices are about 80% of what you have been quoted and when there are an abundance of under sink appliances, it's time and material. It can get a little convoluted. |

Pacific Sales will install the dishwasher for free. |

snoonyb: Thank you! I guess the city location and time/materials are reasons why prices differ between professionals. jellytoast; I didn't know that. We bought the appliances from Pac Sales in Burbank way back at the end of May; at that time we were told the DW installation was also done ( at a price) by their recommended installers. Maybe this is a new promotion? Please let me know more details if you can, so I can call their store. Thank you so very much. |

Boone, I can't remember, it may have been that the dishwasher installation was a promotion, but they did install mine for free. When they delivered it, the guy said that installation wasn't included, but after he left, I was sure I remembered that it was supposed to be free, so I called the store ... I had to remind them that it was part of the deal. They sent the guy back and he installed it no charge. If you haven't paid for your appliances completely (maybe you've only paid a deposit), have them cancel the old order and ring it up as a new order. That way, you can get any current promotion which may include free installation on a DW. Also, some manufactures (KA, for instance) only want to give a warranty from the "sold by" date, not the installation date. If your receipt has an old date, that may cut your warranty short. Anyway, PS doesn't have a problem canceling the old paperwork and giving you new with a new date. |

I think you got lucky, jellytoast! I checked the Pacific Sales website and they only do free installs for fridges and laundry appliances. We paid for the appliances; our dishwasher is a KA. I'll call the Burbank store and check again. Thank you! |
My GC mostly works in South Orange County but I'll ask him anyway or maybe he knows someone else. |
- Posted by boone_2009 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 27, 13 at 14:42
meek95: Thank you for your kind offer but we decided to go with the GC who does not do plumbing and get the plumber to do the sink-related stuff. Both are close to our home and It actually works out less expensive that way. Thanks, everyone! :-) |
- Posted by boone_2009 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 20:39
Hi all, I need to ask you all about a real puzzle (to me): the GC charges 95 for the DW installation while the plumber asked for ( as in my earlier post above) 139. Williamsem ( above) had said that 139 was a pretty good price. Why then is the GC charging so much lower? I'm posting again today only because the GC ( both he and the plumber are supposed to install this week )is now raising his price for the double oven by 25 ( said we misunderstood)and the plumber is raising his price for the sink-related stuff to 300 ( from 250- he said he looked over the work to be done and made a mistake with his earlier price)... aieee. |
- Posted by boone_2009 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 3, 13 at 17:42
bump? :-) |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Thu, Oct 3, 13 at 18:44
Since your GC is already there at your house doing other things, he can afford to lower his price for the DW install ... that would be my guess. And plumbers always charge an arm and leg for whatever they do. It took about 30 minutes start to finish to install my dishwasher, from the time they walked in the door and un-boxed it, to to time they drove off. |
- Posted by bookworm4321 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 4, 13 at 7:29
i had paid for appliance store to install DW. When they removed the old one, they discovered the wiring was wrong. The GC had both plumber and electrician to fix the wiring, plus is charging $150 to fix the bad wood near top (sink ledge), and another sum to replace 2 wood floor boards that were ruined. My point? Be glad you had no water damage, which takes hours to repair, and probably costs the price of DW. |
- Posted by boone_2009 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 4, 13 at 13:47
Thanks, jellytoast, makes sense. Lol@ plumber charging an arm and a leg! It's really amazing *and* alarming how our costs have added up solely due to things like this - electrician, plumber, drywall guy etc. bookworm4321: my sympathies. We had water damage a few years ago and my heart was in my mouth when the demo was done but luckily we have a tile floor and the old cabinets were on a slab so all was well, whew! |

The widespread, long-term power outages wrought by Hurricane Sandy may have caused merchants nationwide to wonder: Do mobile-payment systems continue to function when there's no electricity?
Electricity vs. Mobile Phone Service
It's important to remember that the infrastructures that support electric utilities and mobile phone communications are separate from each other. Electricity is transported to users via power lines and cables above and below ground, while cellular signals travel through the air and hard-wired telephony networks.
Because it has miles and miles of connecting wires and cables, the electrical grid is more susceptible to inclement weather than the cellular network infrastructure, and electricity service can be interrupted by a single disconnected wire, a broken transformer, or an inoperative power substation. With mobile phones, all that is necessary for them to function is a working cell tower that is connected to a cellular substation — which requires of a much smaller number of cables and wires than the electricity grid. Of course, there's no guarantee that mobile phone service will remain uninterrupted in a storm. When Sandy rolled through New York City, AT&T and Verizon customers in Manhattan reported cellular-service outages because the mobile phone masts apparently had been toppled or damaged.
Mobile-Payment Ramifications
All you need to process mobile payments is a working mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. As long as its battery is charged, you can do business as usual without electricity. Once the device's battery is drained, the device cannot process mobile payments until it is recharged, which can be done with the aid of a portable generator (that might also power lights and/or heat in your store).
Many businesses obtain a mobile payments account even if they don't use the system on a daily basis as a backup. Because they are only assessed charges when a transaction is processed and do not incur monthly fees if the system goes unused, merchants commonly view mobile payments as a backup transaction-processing system in case of a blackout. Not only can they keep their businesses up and running during power outages, but they can take in revenue when their competitors are unable to do so. Talk about a competitive advantage!

Giant of Literature J.G. Ballard Passes Away at the Age of 78
(The cover art for The Collected Stories of J.G. Ballard)
J.G. Ballard (November 15, 1930 to April 19, 2009) rewired the brains of generations of readers and writers. A member of the largely British New Wave movement of the 1960s, Ballard wrote mind-bending stories that changed reader perceptions of space and time, along with novels that dealt with every conceivable major theme of the twentieth century. His fictionalized memoir of his childhood, Empire of the Sun (1984), was made into a movie that brought him more readers than ever before. Ballard's devastating satires of American politics, in particular his notorious jab at Ronald Reagan, went right to the edge of fictional possibility. But controversy and pushing boundaries were never problems for Ballard, as books like Crash, with its examination of literal auto-eroticism, proved. Such books also proved the lasting value of both literature and experimentation, being irreproducible in other media.
Another giant of post-World War II literature, Michael Moorcock, told Amazon, "Ballard and I, together with the late Barry Bayley, 'plotted' what became the New Wave revolution in the late 50s and early 60s. A regular and frequent contributor to New Worlds, he was a hugely inspiring and generous friend, if a little reclusive. Raised his three children single-handed after his wife died suddenly in Spain while on holiday and wrote a moving, exceptionally warm memoir, Miracles of Life, which was published in 2007, when he knew he was dying. His influence on a generation of writers in all fields, including Martin Amis and Will Self, was enormous and he remains perhaps the finest imaginative writer of his generation. He refused a CBE from the Queen in protest at the United Kingdom's involvement in Iraq, and because he thought the title of Commander of the British Empire a ludicrous title for a modern Briton. He leaves a partner, Claire Walsh, who was his companion for over forty years and nursed him through his long illness."
Born and raised in an American-controlled part of Shanghai, China, Ballard went on to study medicine at King's College at Cambridge, intending to become a psychiatrist. However, realizing that this career would not allow him time to write he left King's College in 1952 to study English literature at the University of London. Stints in the Royal Air Force and as the editor of a chemistry magazine were contiguous with writing short stories, and he soon found a home for many of them in the now-iconic New Worlds magazine. New Worlds would eventually become the flagship of the New Wave, which included writers like Michael Moorcock, James Sallis, and M. J. Harrison. In 1962, Ballard published his first novel, The Wind From Nowhere, and quit his day job to become a full-time writer.
Ballard came out of science fiction but, like other iconic figures, transcended the limitations of any particular genre. He dealt with issues like colonialism, worldwide disaster, sex, and, yes, such classic themes as love and death. Because of this, his influence was writ large. In terms of pop culture, Ballard also influenced bands like Radiohead, The Sisters of Mercy, and Joy Division.
Novelist Elizabeth Hand recalls "reading him when I was young in the 1960s, in some New Wave anthology or other...and then when I was older I sought him out wherever I could, and reviewed several of his later books. There was something so exhilarating about his vision of the world's decline, this combination of a very cold-eyed observation of humanity's greed and failings, and then a sort of glee in reporting it. His earlier work, things like The Drowned World (1962) and The Crystal World (1966), was so sensual in its detail; and then you ran head-on into stuff like The Atrocity Exhibition (1969)...fueled by that completely in-your-face rage and more of that inhuman glee, and so furiously intelligent--it was very heady stuff. My four dystopic SF novels and much of my earlier short fiction were inspired by Ballard."
Ballard was unflinching in examining humankind's ecological effect upon the world. But in placing most of his fiction, until recently, in projected futures or other speculative settings he ensured that it would largely remain timeless and undated.
Writer and reviewer Paul Di Filippo began reading Ballard in U.S. science fiction magazines around 1967, when he was thirteen years old. "He stretched my adolescent mind to new permanent fractal dimensions, an effect he had on many of my generation, and on plenty of adults as well, both 40 years ago and for the next several decades of unfaltering artistic accomplishment. He was the truest prophet and journalist of everything we saw going down around us during those tumultuous days. His astringent yet joyous take on all our self-inflicted dooms, technological, sexual, and cultural, assured us that the future would be much weirder than any Arthur C. Clarke prediction, even if we never left the surface of the planet, but only delved deeper into his patented realm of 'inner space.' The world is now deprived of a vital voice we still need, possibly more than ever."
On a personal note, I came to Ballard through his short stories while still a teenager, through collections like Terminal Beach (1964) and Vermillion Sands (1971). I first encountered Ballard on the back shelves of used bookstores, and thought he was one of the best treasures I ever discovered there. I always felt, reading his work, that I didn't process a Ballardian piece of fiction; instead, it processed me. I saw the world differently after reading Ballard. Often, while in the middle of one of his stories, I would literally feel as if the spatial dimensions around me were shifting and that I was adrift. Somehow, as Martin Amis has said, Ballard got to a different part of your brain than other writers. This sense of enveloping the reader in the unknown and alien had a huge influence on my own fiction, and gave me permission to experiment in a way I don't think I would've done otherwise.
"I think it's safe to say there are very few writers of speculative fiction who came of age after the 1960s who were not influenced by him in one way or another," Hand told Amazon. "He captured the zeitgeist of a world in crisis and wrote about it fearlessly, and while his work was often cruel, it was never cold. He was an iconoclast who seemed to revel in the sound of our world shattering."
The depth of that influence became apparent as messages on Facebook and Twitter from all types of writers flooded the internet Sunday afternoon. Reviewer and critic Ed Champion wrote "Ballard was one of the greats: an imaginative giant, a profoundly erudite iconoclast, one of those rare talents who came up with a warped concept if it was wild and provided the speculative heft needed to keep a thought experiment going." Experimental novelist Lance Olsen commented, "We're all poorer for the loss. It doesn't get much better, much more unhinged, than Crash or The Atrocity Exhibition. Ballard taught us worlds." And, as Czech editor Martin Šust said, "He was one of my favorite authors, especially for his short stories. He was a writer with international influence. His works are still unforgettable, and he is now immortal for all of us."
Ballard commented in his own autobiography that the imagination transcends death. In the eyes of the readers he challenged and the writers he inspired, this statement is by no means hyperbole. He will be missed. In addition to his devoted partner Claire Walsh, Ballard leaves behind three children: James, Fay, and Beatrice.

Asus Aura: iPhone Clone Plus
This cool phone from Asus channels many of its good looks from Apple's iPhone. The Asus Aura has a 3.9-inch touchscreen LCD, a 2 megapixel digital camera and a slim 6.9mm thick case design.
The Aura does one up the iPhone in a few significant ways by offering UMTS and HSDPA (3G) high-speed connectivity, expandable storage via an SD slot and a slide-out keyboard. The bad news? The Aura is just a concept design, and isn't expected to be produced any time soon.
Don't be surprised if more and more manufacturers start to clone the iPhone's full-size touchscreen display and other design touches. But like Mac OS X vs. Vista and TiVo vs. other DVRs, the difference still lies in the quality of the user interface and underlying operating system.

4 months ago i was amazed by asus P525 and P735.
but now here comes again a whooping asus aura. its really great! i will have to save money to buy this cool phone. thanks asus! it makes me proud of your brand from motherboard of my desktop to laptop and now mobile! -
Concept designs out everywhere begging to be the center of attention. Before the Iphone came out there was no such riot over an item such as a phone. This type of envy provoked was given only to cars and girls. Never was there such anticipation for a phone of all things. Jealous of the eye catching features everyone wants a piece of the spot light the Iphone is catching. Hell I want one too. With all its flaws it is the best engineered phone on the market. If you walk out of a cell phone with anything less, it only leaves you feeling second rate. http://adamcpennington.googlepages.com
I've got a satellite connecting, ultra fast, collapsible to 2″ tall and 1″ wide phone, that plays HD video seamlessly and can read your mind to dial or send email. I've REALLY upped the iPhone.
Of course, it's a concept phone I've designed.C'mon, report on real products and don't waste our time.
it is great. can any body , from where i purchase this in india
looks amazing :) … wats d price of this phone????
The Aura Video Station at http://www.aura.net
It is a wonderful device.I recommend using an Aura Camera, which is specifically designed for displaying aura and printing aura photos via a computer interface.Aura Cameras are used to give individuals a visual representation their bio energetic state. Based on such biofeedback technologies and Galvanic Skin Response and Skin Temperature, Aura Cameras can measure these physiological inputs and then convert this information into digital displays through a computer interface. The resulting display is typically a depiction of what is traditionally known as the human aura and chakra.
Some aura photography machines run in real time, giving the participant the ability to see changes from one moment to another. Others take still Polaroid pictures and do not run through a computer interface. The advantage of a real time aura system is having the capability to display the effects of products or services rendered during the session.
Another aspect of aura imaging systems is their ability to print extensive reports for given sessions. Please note only aura cameras that interface with a computer are able to accomplish this feature. The printing of reports can be a simple postcard size photo cards to multiple page documents detailing numerous bio data information.
Looks cool
Hey , this phone looks pretty awesome. I want it for my upcoming birthday, but I don't know how much it costs or where to purchase it. Can anyone e-mail me and let me know PLEASE and THANKS. firstname.lastname@example.com

Steep Ravine
"Trampin' On"
This young Americana quartet not only has a cool West Marin-inspired name, but also shows on this debut album that it's got a hip acoustic sound and tasteful style to back it up.
Lead singer-songwriter Simon Linsteadt, Steep Ravine's guitarist, and fiddle player Jan Purat began playing together in high school, meeting mandolinist Andy O'Brien and bassist Alex Bice while studying music at UC Santa Cruz.
Linsteadt, who sings in a gentle, sweet tenor, wrote nine of the 11 songs on "Trampin' On," proving to be an accomplished storyteller and intelligent lyricist as well as a master of the band's rootsy blend of folk, bluegrass, blues and swing.
His song "Lazy Tide" has the kind of captivating melody that sounds instantly familiar, a perfect tune for rolling down on a country lane, grooving to lines like "Hit the road, driving fast, that little town was feeling like a phantom of my past."
On "Wooden Floors," he takes a surprising turn to swing on a lovely lament that invokes images of "misty Colorado" and the longing to be "strung out in the springtime on lupines and birdsong."
Mandolinist O'Brien adds the jaunty instrumental "No. 37" to the mix, and Purat contributes the equally lively "Ponderosa," an instrumental showcase described as "alpine gypsy-grass" written on the back porch of Bice's grandfather's hilltop ranch in Watsonville, overlooking Monterey Bay. All four musicians have a chance to show what fine players they are, and all sing, adding rich harmonies behind Linsteadt's laid-back lead.
With "Trampin' On," recorded on analog at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, Steep Ravine announces itself as a hugely talented newcomer that is already taking its place among the very best bands on the Americana scene.
Buy it: "Trampin' On," Steep Ravine, independent, CD Baby, $15 CD, $9.99 download
Hear them live: 8 p.m. May 15, 142 Throckmorton Theatre, Mill Valley, $10 to $23

Evans Math Award
Nashua High School South teacher takes the prize
The award, given out by the New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics, recognizes one math teacher a year for their passion and knowledge of the subject.
"It means a lot to me. Especially to be recognized by your peers is always a nice thing, in this profession there can be a lot of negativity, for someone to even think to nominate me was in itself an honor," Gingras said.
"I've gotten to get to know Lisa. She is a truly gifted teacher; she connects with her students and understands he subject," District Superintendent Mark Conrad said.
South Principal Keith Richard said the school has come to rely on Gingras, as she is not only a great teacher, but also great with data.
"She is fantastic, a true asset to our faculty. She not only does an excellent job in the math department, but she is also a true leader in the building. She is always willing to help out and go the extra mile. She takes ownership of her classes and wants to see students succeed," Richard said.
Passion about mathematics comes naturally to her, Gingras said, because, "statistics is relevant to students lives, no matter what they do they will use it later in life. I love to see student's 'ah ha' moments, as a teacher that is what you live for."
Conrad said that being recognized for her work is nothing new for Gingras, as she was also given a No Bell award by the Honor Society at South three years ago.
Conrad said the No Bell award is given by honor students to the teacher they deem most worthy, and that it alternates between the North and South high schools each year.
Gingras was a finalist last year for the Richard C. Evans award.

Home › Academics › Centers and Institutes › Institute of Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology refers to the ability to construct products and materials with atomic precision. This requires contributions from various technical disciplines, including chemistry, engineering, and physics to achieve these objectives. Current research that is being done in our college in the areas of nanopower supplies, sensor technology, modeling, control and advanced nanostructured materials, fits into this area of concentration. The goal of this interdisciplinary institute is to stimulate further collaboration between faculty and students in this area. In addition, this institute meshes very well with what we now refer to as our "Laboratory for Micro and Nanoscale Characterization." This project is the first collaborative effort to use our new e-beam nanolithographic system, which was provided by Dean Bellovich to foster this group's interactions. These new nanomanufacturing capabilities and this project will set the stage for additional projects from this institute.
It is predicted that a density of 1Gb/cm2 of DRAM memory will be needed by the year 2020 if computers are to keep up with the current pace of technology. We propose to develop and characterize a novel nanoscale memory unit that can store bit patterns and develop a computer simulation model of this unit that can be incorporated into commercial computer-aided design programs. This nanoscale memory device is composed of arrays of batteries that are 100 nm in size (nanobatteries) that are accessed by a nanoscale crossbar system. The system that we propose has the potential to approach the 1Gb/cm2 value necessary for growth of computer technology of the future.
