Article first published as IDW Publishing - New Release Reviews For January 16, 2013 on Technorati.
In major comic book news last week, a decisive decision was made concerning Superman. The 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals
ruled in favor of Warner Bros., regarding the rights to the Man Of
Steel. They found a prior ruling to be "wrongful," allowing DC Comics to
continue using the character. In 2008, a Federal Judge had ruled the
heirs of one of Superman's creator retained his rights, in a case that had begun in 2001.
DC Comics
claimed that the rights reverted back to them in a prior settlement.
IDW Publishing is releasing a new series by John Byrne, one of the more
well-known artist who have handled Superman over the years, as
well as five other comics this week. Titles are scored on a scale of 1
to 10 with 10 being the very best possible. We take the time to
read these books so your time isn't wasted.
The High Ways - Issue 1
John Byrne is back and he brought with him some excellent
science-fiction. Not just sci-fi but hard science fiction. Most
noticeably in the complicated space physics of interstellar travel. He
does a fine job of creating a futuristic civilization and creating
rules within that society.
Really, the weakest part were the characters
who were kind of flat. In particular is the lead who is extremely
passive. Still, the artwork is wonderful, as is the cover.
Score: 8 out of 10
Joe Schreiber's Chasing The Dead - Issue 3
Three issues in and this series isn't making more sense. Characters
suddenly are introduced and they are integral to the story, even if
doesn't make narrative sense. And then many of the mysteries are
answered with supernatural explanations, yet it still doesn't make
things flow any better. There are major revelations that seem to come
with no effort. The cover is pretty cool and the interior art is
Score: 5 out of 10
Mars Attacks Ghostbusters - One Shot
This seemed like a great idea until it was revealed that it is not the Ghostbusters that IDW has been publishing lately. It's a series called The Real Ghostbusters which
isn't as well written or drawn. In fact, it's just not very good at
much of anything. The covers are pretty excellent, though.
Score: 3 out of 10
Transformers Spotlight : Thundercracker - One Shot
This issue focuses on the Decepticon known as Thundercracker. Much like
many of the other series, they demand that the reader know every aspect
of this universe intimately, and know when all things are happening.
That makes things tricky for new readers and this one-shot is no
Worse, it's not all that interesting and it doesn't add much
to the character. The cover is outstanding. The interior artwork is
Score: 7 out of 10
G.I. Joe - Issue 21
This is a pleasant little self-contained story about Hawk, in retirement. It's not clear how it fits into the greater G.I. Joe
narrative but it is very entertaining and it shows just how dangerous
any of the Joe's are.
Some aspects are unbelievable as this seems to be
very important to Cobra Commander and the mission leader freely admits
not doing her home-work and some of the squad seems incompetent. The
cover is fun and the interior art is solid.
Score: 8 out of 10
Tranformers : Generation One - Issue 87
This series is difficult to hang on with because it comes before all the great newer IDW Transformers
series being published, so it's difficult to keep track of. The
violence, also, is had to manage from a stand-point of scale. And,
really, when is there a Transformers story where Optimus Prime doesn't leave everyone behind? Interior artwork is fine and the covers have varying quality.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
It was a "Super" week for DC Comics and a fairly decent week for IDW
Publishing. The new series from John Byrne as well as the new issue of G.I. Joe are worth good looks this week. Stop on back next week for more New Release Reviews.

UPS ® (NYSE:UPS) announced today plans to invest approximately $50 million to build an additional nine liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling stations, bringing the total number of stations to 13. Four were announced in April, and all should be operational by the end of 2014.
The enhanced LNG fueling infrastructure will support the operation of approximately 1,000 UPS LNG tractors that will displace more than 24 million gallons of diesel fuel annually. UPS has used LNG vehicles for more than a decade and has benefited from lower fuel prices compared to imported petroleum.
"The natural gas industry needs companies to commit to using natural gas to help establish a reliable alternative to traditional fuel, and that is just what UPS is doing," said David Abney, UPS chief operating officer. "The UPS strategy is both environmentally friendly and economically viable. LNG is becoming more readily available, plus it's more insulated from market volatilities than diesel fuel."
The expansion will include on-site fueling stations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Construction is already underway at previously-announced UPS facilities in Tennessee and Texas. Currently, UPS operates LNG tractors in Las Vegas, Nev., Phoenix, Ariz., Beaver and Salt Lake City, Utah, and, Ontario, Calif. UPS began using LNG tractors in its delivery fleet in 2002.
"Building these fueling stations is a solid future investment for UPS," said Abney. "Since vehicles represent approximately 35 percent of UPS's carbon footprint, a cornerstone of the company's environmental strategy is to support the development and use of lower-emission alternative fuels. By 2017, our goal is to reach one billion miles driven by our alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet. To accomplish this goal the company must continue to innovate and help pave the way toward more sustainable transportation solutions." UPS operates one of the largest private alternative fuel fleets in the industry with more than 2,700 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. This includes all-electric, hybrid electric, hydraulic hybrid, CNG, LNG, liquid propane gas (LPG), biomethane, and light-weight fuel-saving composite body vehicles.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

What You Should Know About Hot Tub Temperature ControlOct 24, 2001 (Updated Oct 13, 2008)
Popular Products in Garden
The Bottom Line Having your own hot tub is just another great part of life!
Review on Setting the Temperature on Your Hot Tub (October 24, 2001) Almost nothing beats a nice soak in a hot tub, after a long, strenuous day of hard work! The hot water soothes pains away, loosens up cramped muscles, and the billions of bubbles tickles your skin. The water vapor rises to your nose and breathing in the steam loosens up congestion. When you leave the hot tub, you feel relaxed and drowsy - ready for a good night's sleep. It is a wonderful experience each and every time! Being a long-term hot tub owner, several concerns have arisen concerning the health, safety and benefits of maintaining the water temperature. I researched this subject and I'd like to present to you my findings. To keep your good health, there are certain things you should know about maintaining the proper water temperature in your hot tub. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends never allowing the temperature of the water in your hot tub to exceed 104ºF. Water temperatures over 110ºF have caused a number of deaths, according to their findings. They site that high water temperatures can cause drowsiness to occur that may lead to unconsciousness and drowning. The hot water will raise your body temperature, and thus your blood pressure, that may lead to heat stroke and death. They advise against pregnant women (since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy) and young children (since their bodies do not get used to temperature changes as easily as adults do) using hot tubs before consulting a physician. Individuals suffering from obesity or having a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should also consult a physician before using a hot tub. Aside from these comments, many hot tub manufacturers recommend never drinking alcoholic beverages before, during, and/or after soaking in a hot tub. Alcohol expands your blood vessels and increases your body temperature. So does your hot tub! The combined effect may raise your body temperature too much, leading to a stroke or heart attack. It may also cause dizziness, nausea, and/or lightheadedness leading to unconsciousness and potential drowning or a slipping accident. This argument holds true for certain medications/narcotics that raise blood pressure of body temperature. To get really technical about increased body temperature dangers prolonged immersion in hot water that is warmer than normal body temperature can lead to Hyperthermia. This dangerous condition occurs when your internal body temperature increases above what is considered the normal body temperature of 98.6ºF. Hyperthermia may result in many of the symptoms listed above. This may result in an individual's inability to leave the hot tub or desire to leave the hot tub, if needed. For this reason, it is recommended that soakers take breaks during soaking and leave the hot tub after 15 minutes, to allow your body to cool down. Different people have different tolerances towards water temperature. My wife, for instance, finds the water is not hot enough if it is set below 100ºF (even at this temperature she will complain!). I prefer the water to be cooler opposed to hotter - 104ºF is too hot for me. Also, the outdoor air temperature will be a factor to consider when determining the right water temperature. In general, I find 102ºF to be accommodating to most soakers, and it is the best overall temperature. There are other things to consider in maintaining a specific water temperature level. An air (bubble) blower will cool down the water temperature. As soon as you remove the insulated cover, the water temperature will begin to drop at a slow, gradual pace. Adding cold water will also cool the temperature down. Also, adding more people in the hot tub will decrease the temperature slightly. Of course, turning the thermostat dial to a different temperature setting will also adjust the temperature, but it may take time for this change to take effect, as the volume of water is rather large. I've heard rumors concerning health risks about sitting in the hot water that I should dispel, while on the topic. A visitor refused to use the hot tub fearing that the hot water might make him infertile. (I've also heard the woman version of this rumor). According to doctors at the Mayo clinic, this is not so. The hot water can temporarily interfere with normal reproduction, but it will not have any long-term side effects. So, soak away! There is just one other health risk that is related to hot water risks that I would like to point out: Hot water tends to harbor a large amount of water-bourn bacteria. This is why it is so important to maintain a clean hot tub and add anti-bacteria agents to the water, such as Bromine. Although most bacteria that can be found in a hot tub are not fatal, it can lead to nasty skin rashes. Never soak in a hot tub that has a strong chlorine smell or has foam or scum floating on the surface. Water should be changed periodically. Now for the fun part! Let me tell you now about the good stuff. A discussion about setting the temperature in a hot tub would not be complete without telling you the many benefits of soaking in a hot tub. The benefits far outweigh the causes for concern. Soaking in a hot tub brings you many health benefits. One of the biggest benefits is that soaking in hot water will dilate your blood vessels. This will aid in your blood circulation and lower your blood pressure. This is the main reason people feel so relieved after soaking after a hard day's work! Buoyancy is yet another plus to soaking in a hot tub. The bubbles will help lift your limbs, relieving the weight, which reduces the workload for your heart by up to 20 percent. The hot water raises your body temperature, causing you to perspire, and rid your body of toxins via your pores. The hot water and increased pressure from the water jets also helps grow white blood cells and antibodies, that might travel to ailing body parts that require aid allowing healing to occur. Studies in the New England Journal of Medicine have shown many medical benefits of soaking in a hot tub. One study taken in Colorado has shown that people suffering from type 2 diabetes have significantly brought their blood sugar down by regularly soaking in a hot tub for 15 to 30 minutes each day. Doctors who conducted the study speculated benefits of hot tub therapy could be due to increased blood flow to skeletal muscles. Another study showed that soaking in a hot tub simulates exercising! The idea is that the hot water raises your body temperature increasing your blood flow in much the same way as exercising. Soaking in a hot tub prior to exercising is a great way to warm up and condition muscles for work. The National Sleep Foundation has shown that a short soak prior to going to bed can ease the transition into a deeper, more restful sleep. This is also accomplished by altering your body's temperature. Other studies in various medical journals have shown benefits of soaking in hot water of lowering back pain, relieving stress, reducing body pain, relieving fatigue, lowering body weight, and aiding digestion. Overall, sitting in a hot tub at what is considered a safe temperature is very beneficial to your body. If you have concerns about whether soaking in hot water is good for, I suggest you talk to your doctor. There is plenty of additional information available about health benefits and cautionary information on the internet. Aside from the health benefits of soaking in a hot tub, my favorite reason to soak is to just have fun! Thanks for reading my review and have a nice day! Edited 01/07: I made a typo in a couple of places here as pointed out by a couple of readers (thanks). I changed the reference to Hypothermia to Hyperthermia. Information provided within this article came from several sources provided to me by my doctor, health bulletins, and by the hot tub manufacturer! Mike |

VCU 2010 Accelerated BSN
0Jan 29, '10 by cheesetoeHello everyone,
I just thought I would start a thread on this topic since I have been able to find any concerning Virginia Commonwealth's accelerated BSN program specifically. I know that we should be hearing back around the first week of February, but of course I am anxious about it! I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet or wanted to share some concerns??? -
0Mar 1, '11 by Christina10483Hi hokie87 -- I just happened to find you on this forum. I'm going into VCU's ABSN program starting in May. I just thought I'd ask you, since you entered the program last year, how you like it? Is it extremely instense, or is it manageable? Do you ever get any free time off? How's the City of Richmond? (I've never been.) Anyway, anything you have to say about the program, pros and cons, would be really helpful! Thanks in advance!!

5 Stocks Flashing Insider-Buying Alerts
Ligand Pharmaceuticals
One name in the biotechnology and drugs sector where insiders have been very active in is Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND - Get Report). This is a biotechnology company that focuses on drug discovery and early-stage development of pharmaceuticals that address critical unmet medical needs or those that more effective and/or safer than existing therapies. This is a very interesting insider buy since an executive is paying up to own the stock with shares up over 70% so far in 2011.
This company has a market cap of $301 million and an enterprise value of $317 million. This stock trades at a very rich valuation, since their trailing price-to-earnings is 250 and their forward price-to-earnings is 95. Ligand's estimated growth rate for this year is 214% and for next year it's pegged at -78.1%. This company has a bit more debt on their books than cash, since their total cash position is $13.44 million and total debt is $30.11 million.
A director just bought 61,559 shares, or $805,350 worth of stock, between $12.54 and $14.21 per share. This same director has been steadily buying up shares of Ligand in August that now have totaled over $4 million worth of stock. From a technical standpoint, this is in a very strong uptrend with shares trading well above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. This stock has been displaying a very bullish pattern for all of this year with shares making higher highs and higher lows. This shows that large traders have been paying up to buy this stock anytime it has pulled back. The stock also recently broke out above some past resistance at $14.80 a share on big volume. If you're looking to buy this stock, I would let this name come in a bit since the relative strength index is over 70 which often times marks an overbought reading on any stock. Let this name pullback toward $14 or possible $13.50 a share before you jump in. If it doesn't pullback that much, then you could be a buyer as long as it holds above the key breakout level of $14.80.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Psychologist, PhD
"Dr. Carmen T Gonzalez believes that most coping skills are learned in early childhood. An oft-quoted, common sense definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results." Her approach is to help individuals learn to cope in more effective ways by developing new ways of thinking, reacting, and responding to life's situations. A clinical psychologist in private practice since 1983, she was one of the founding partners of Fauquier Counseling Center in Warrenton, Virginia. Dr. Gonzalez is now on her own offering more personal, and direct counseling services. Privacy is prioritized.

NASA's New Launch: Exploration Design Challenge
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
As a way of inspiring the next generation of astronauts, NASA has launched a new program, Exploration Design Challenge, which asks students to think about and design ways to protect space explorers from deadly cosmic radiation.
"America's next step in human space exploration is an ambitious one and will require new technologies, including ways to keep our astronauts safe from the effects of deep-space radiation," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden upon announcing the program. "That is the focus of this challenge, and we are excited students will be helping us solve that problem."
The program is the result of a public-private venture, or called the Space Act Agreement, between NASA and Lockheed Martin Corp.
"Space exploration has inspired and fascinated young people for generations, and the Exploration Design Challenge is a unique way to capture and engage the imaginations of tomorrow's engineers and scientists," said Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson.
The design challenge is focused primarily on NASA´s Orion project, which is dedicated to deep-space exploration. The project is part of NASA´s expanding pursuit of longer space missions that will take humans outside the protection of Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere. Along with its private partners, NASA is already developing new materials and designs to better protect future space explorers from the dangers of space radiation.
The first Orion test mission, called Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), is set to lift off in 2014. One section of the design challenge website asks teachers and student to enroll "as honorary, virtual crew members" for the upcoming flight.
"Exploration Flight Test-1 is set to launch next year, so participating in this challenge will give the students a real sense of being part of the NASA team," said NASA Associate Administrator for Education and former astronaut Leland Melvin. "They will be able to chart Orion's progress as it moves closer to the test launch. That's important because these students represent our future scientists, engineers and explorers."
In the challenge, younger students, grades kindergarten through 4 and 5 through 8, will analyze potential shielding materials that might be used to protect the crew inside the Orion craft. The student scientists will research and select materials that best block the harmful radiation.
High school students in the program will investigate radiation and human space travel in greater detail. After researching the necessary information, the students will then be asked to design a radiation shield that protects a sensor on the Orion capsule from cosmic radiation.
The space agency has a section on their website dedicated to the new design challenge where teachers can enroll their students and find educational materials, with separate sections for grades K-4, 5-8, and 9-12.
The 2014 Orion test flight will send an unmanned craft into orbit to run a series of tests and potential scenarios. In 2017, NASA will continue the Orion program by launching a craft atop the Space Launch System rocket, which is currently in development. That flight will send an unmanned Orion on a test mission around the moon.

When riding uphill, I pull over for downhill riders that are crushing it. If they are a gaper, I make them pull over for me. I wish the standard etiquette was for downhillers to have the right of way, because nothing is better than a full descent with no interruptions. To me, riding uphill is just a necessary evil.

But you do have to admit that the Mormon influence makes it really hard to find good beer...And the drinks at the bars are ridiculously weak. I have no problem with anyone's religion, but I do have a problem with how they selfishly affect non-Mormon's ability to drink a beer in Utah. Go ahead; be religious but why must you affect all the normal people who don't believe in magic? I went to a Supercross race in Utah, and they didn't even serve beer. I'm half joking here, but also half serious.

DEMO vs DEMO - Is Newer Better?
No offense Willie, but why are you so convinced that 650B is so much better than 26"? You have made 10 comments on this article alone defending 650B and knocking 26". You latch on to the 1 line in the article where he says the 2014 demo is "nervous", neglecting the fact that the article also uses the words playful and nimble in the same context. You have probably made over 100 comments over the past 6 months regarding how superior 650B is. Any other regular on this site knows what I'm talking about. You're obsessed man. Why do you care if other people disagree with you? If you are right about 650B, the future will prove you right. In the meantime, I suggest you stop referring to others as trolls and take a good long look in the mirror. That being said, I've ridden 650B bikes and I agree with you that they are better than 26" for trail riding. I just think you need to lay low for a while. Your opinion is very clear to the rest of us and your point has been made. Numerous times.

Wonderful crease colour! really nice deep brown! it's a matte and really pigmented!
Great for creating a neutral smokey eye!
I purchased this and bronze together, wasn't smart, they're the same color, except bronze is a shimmer. I like bronze better, but if you a matte person, this one is for you. It's a great crease color.
I love this color! It's my favorite brown color from MAC, I use it for the crease alot though. It's great for smoky eyes
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was my second MAC e/s and I just wasn't impressed. I purchased this in the refill pan it's a neutral black/brown in a matte finish, not a muted golden brown like MAC description.
I've read review where they've mentioned that the top layer had to be scraped off before they were happy with it. For me it should work just as I purchase it and this just didn't work. Chalky, not blend-able and to dark (harsh) for a natural look.
For reference I'm a NW/NC 25 or Light-Medium with Neutral/Beige Undertone
Espresso is one of my favorite eyeshadows from MAC! I like pairing this with Honey Lust & Brule for a great everyday neutral eye. Espresso is highly pigmented & blends well with other shadows.
More reviews by footballqueen07
Ohhh I love espresso !!
I've got NC20 skin, and dark brown hair and eyes. I started out using this as a brow colour and now I mostly use it as a liner and crease colour.
I LOVE using MAC's Brow Pencil in "Lingering," but it would really just runs out too quickly. This is a perfect alternative for me. It is a bit darker so I don't need as much product. I use a 266 angle brush for brows :) I naturally have sparse brows... to give you an idea that I need to use more than the average person!
What I love about it is that it does not leave my brows looking ashy or red-toned. It compliments my skin tone and dark hair, and is easily buildable as well. I now use Charcoal Brown which is a touch lighter and I prefer it for a more natural look.
This is a great eyeshadow color for girls with darker hair, also a great crease color blends great. Would def repurchase.
I purchased this on a whim not knowing I already had 3 colors that were very similar to this. I returned it the next day. :(
I have two all time favorite brown eyeshadows from MAC. One is Espresso (cool medium true brown) and the other is Corduroy (warm medium brown). Enough said ! :)

Old & fat, but strong; American, Chinese, & Indian (sort of); Ph.D. in C.S.; strategy, economics & stability theory; trees & machining.
"Highly Relevant to the 1980s"
I actually listened to the whole thing. I have a long commute and it?s mildly interesting; besides these days listening to the news it too depressing. But by the time I was 1/3 of the way through it had become really tedious.
It?s detail or tactically oriented rather than conceptual or strategic. As a result it?s hard to translate its insights to the realities of 2005.
The biggest problem is the lack of consideration of the Web, Goggle, the SPAM problem, or the privacy backlash.

Leaders christen neighborhood store, celebrate community
By Maria Miller
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -- A Johnstown neighborhood came together Monday to celebrate the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. and a dream the community shares. Neighbors also dedicated a new co-op store in Prospect that's set to open in the coming months.
"We worked real hard to get here and we still know that we have a lot of work ahead of us, but we're up to the challenge," said the Rev. James Britt, committee member for the co-op.
It's an idea that's been at least two years in the making. And while the Greater Prospect Store isn't yet open for business, its future is already being celebrated.
"It was the idea of the community that we needed to do something to revitalize our community," said the Rev. Sylvia King, president of Greater Prospect. "The churches got together and said, 'You know, if something is going to happen up here, we're going to make it happen. Nobody's going to come here and rescue us; we're going to have to do something for ourselves.'"
And they're on their way, already acquiring and remodeling a building along Route 271 heading out of the city. In just a few months they hope to open the store, providing groceries, prepared food and laundry services to anyone passing by and a place that will give back to the Prospect community with programs and a place to gather and employ.
Cleverly abbreviated as GPS, the hope is that the store will help shape a new direction for a community that leaders say has often carried a bad stigma.
"I believe it's going to spark some more interest and spark some inspiration in some other people that is going to want to do things up here," said Britt. "We have plenty of land; we can do a whole lot of things. We just need to work together to do it."
Monday's dedication ceremony was filled with scripture, music and togetherness centered around the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. and a dream shared by many.
"This building is a symbol of hope of what can happen in any community, to any people, if you just throw everything else aside and do it for the good of the cause," said King.

Four years ago, Gilbert Classical Academy opened its doors.
The school brought the Socratic method of teaching - which encourages students to ask questions and develop critical thinking skills - to the Gilbert Unified School District. The curriculum is advanced and rigorous, but any student can enroll. Hundreds of families expressed interest, with space only available for about 60 students in each grade level - seven through nine at that time.
In two weeks, those ninth-graders who stuck with it will don caps and gowns, becoming the first graduating class from the school.
The 29 seniors completed a tough program full of honors and Advanced Placement classes. And, they say, it's paid off. They'll all attend college in the fall, in schools from Arizona and Texas to Utah, Ohio and Indiana.
"The whole curriculum beat you into shape, work-ethic wise," said Hayden West, 18, who will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. "Some seniors (at other schools) slack off, but in college, you can't do that. Here, they won't let you."
"We had to know the material and know how to apply it ... It would help you to not just take the test, but learn," said Malynne Cottam, who will attend the University of Utah. "I don't think I'm a genius. I just have to be willing to work ... Now we're all set to go to these great schools."
With such a small graduating class, the students can almost finish each other's sentences. They've been through just about every class together for four years. They know each other's names, quirks and interests.
"I know it's given me a higher standard friend-wise, being so small (a class) and seeing them every day for four years," said Phelan Mahony. Mahony will attend the University of Arizona.
"I've made friends with all these people (outside school)," said Laura Youngblood, 17, who will attend St. Edward's University in Texas. "But I'm nowhere near as close to them."
They've crafted new traditions - and expectations - for the senior classes that will follow.
"Some of what they've passed on, the juniors are nervous to live up to it," said Maureen Barnabas, who teaches Advanced Placement English. "They have maintained this great dignity about themselves that's definitely demonstrated to the other students ... It's a very special group. We will miss them. We don't talk much about that last day. We'll start getting mushy."
Gilbert Classical Academy is one of two academies in the Gilbert Unified School District. Today, it has students in grades seven through 12.
The other academy is Neely Traditional Academy, a back-to-basics school for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Nokia targets Spotify with premium music service
Nokia is taking aim at Spotify with the introduction of a premium paid-subscription service as part of its free-streaming mobile music offering.
Nokia: launches Nokia Music+ service
The mobile manufacturer has launched its Nokia Music+ service for a monthly subscription fee of £3.99, undercutting the £9.99 monthly subscription for Spotify's premium service.
Nokia will continue to run its free Mix Radio streaming service, which allows users to stream music from pre-defined playlists, and will run the premium Nokia Music+ service as an optional extra.
The premium option will allow users to skip tracks an unlimited amount of times and download an unlimited amount of playlists, having previously been limited to four "mixes" via Mix Radio.
Nokia Music+ will roll out in the next few weeks and will also give users the option to access the service via their desktops through a web-app, which can also be accessed via smart TVs and other connected screens.
Jyrki Rosenberg, vice-president of entertainment at Nokia, said: "People love Nokia Mix Radio – it's the only smartphone music service out there offering access to millions of songs out of the box, without the need to sign up, sign in, or suffer adverts in between enjoying the music.
"Nokia Music is great for discovering new music, and we've found that there's a core of users that want even more of it. This is how Nokia Music+ came about. By introducing features like infinite skips and unlimited downloads, we're opening the doors for unlimited music discovery at only €3.99 per month."

Note 2 open chrome automatically opens youtube
My mom was messing around on her note 2 and I dont know what she did but now everytime we try to open google chrome it automatically opens the youtube app. We can only get past this if we press back enough times to get back to chrome but this happens every time and its really annoying. What do I do?
Odp: Note 2 open chrome automatically opens youtube
Go to applications settings in main settings, find both chrome and youtube and then press reset defalts. After that app should ask which application to use, if you want to pick every time dont set defalut
Re: Note 2 open chrome automatically opens youtube
You are probably leaving a page open that redirects to YouTube, which according to your defaults would open YouTube. You could try closing out YouTube pages after use. My guess is if you do what Shadowriver suggests it will end up opening to the prompt instead of going directly to YouTube.

County commissioners have begun planning for the next fiscal year – receiving updates on department needs, considering funding requests and creating legislative items to push for.
Since they are making plans for the new fiscal year and how they will run things in 2015-16, I want to speak out on one policy that needs to be rolled back to 2013-14.

We hear it all the time. Portions are getting larger and larger. Trying to manage portion size can feel like a constant, impossible task. Every day face we're faced with huge portions at restaurants and surrounded by oversized packages of processed foods at every turn. It can get overwhelming!
This may not seem like an earth-shattering point, but so many people think of portion control as deprivation. That's not it at all! You can control your portions and still feel satisfied — and it's easier than you think.

This popular classic salad, including all the tableside showmanship by waiters when preparing it tableside, became a sensation in America back in the 1920s. It is widely accepted that Caesar Cardini, a restaurant owner and chef in Tijuana, Mexico, whipped up a salad from scratch with leftover ingredients for a gathering of hungry Hollywood notables.
To many, including me, this is the king of salads. It was probably the first main coursesalad, and topped with chicken or fish, is truly a main course.
While officials are examining the potential for retail and other economic growth in Brunswick County using up-to-date data and input from residents as well as visitors, it is important to remember the overwhelming majority of the county's employers are small businesses.

Madison County Sheriff Ben Stewart reports that on Monday, August 11, at 4:32 p.m., investigators of the Madison County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force stopped a van in the CVS parking lot after the investigators witnessed the van cut across all lanes of travel nearly striking an oncoming vehicle.
When investigators approached the female driver to discuss the traffic violation, they detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from within the vehicle. The driver apologized for her driving actions and stated that she was not paying attention. Investigators questioned the driver about the odor of marijuana; she stated that her grandson, who was the passenger, hid something behind the glove box up in the dash as they were being stopped. The driver asked the investigators if they would locate and remove the concealed item from her vehicle's dash.
Investigators then made contact with the passenger and identified him as James Waples, 27, of Madison. Waples was questioned but denied hiding anything in the dash and further denied having any marijuana or illegal contraband. Investigators conducted a search of the dash interior behind the glove box and located a plastic bag containing marijuana.
Waples informed investigators that he was currently on probation and the marijuana belonged to his grandmother, the driver. It was clear to investigators that the driver had no knowledge of what Waples hid in the dash of her vehicle. Waples was arrested without incident and transported to the Madison County Jail. He was charged with possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.

Soy is an ancient staple in Asian cuisines, but lately it's gotten a lot of bad press. Is soy good for you, or bad?
The short answer is that soy can provide many health benefits if it's consumed in modest amounts and in a form that is either fermented or as close as possible to the whole state of the soybean. Soy sauce, tempeh, miso, natto, edamame and tofu are all excellent choices. Soybean plants are native to southeastern Asia, and soy has been an important part of some Eastern diets for more than 5,000 years.
Unfortunately, soy derivatives have become commonly used in a shockingly high number of packaged foods, so many of us are at risk of consuming much more soy than we realize – and in a form that is highly processed and less desirable. Soy lecithin, for example, is an emulsifying ingredient used in a large number of packaged foods, ranging from chocolate bars to salad dressing. These processed soy foods have little in common with the soy consumed in Asia for thousands of years.
Soy is one of the top eight most common food sources of allergies. Since 2006, food manufacturers have been required to state on the label whether or not a product contains soy. Individuals with soy sensitivities and allergies must be vigilant, because soy derivatives are in medications and vitamins. In addition, consumers looking to avoid genetically-modified foods would do well to read soy-containing product labels carefully. Most of the soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified. Unless the label notes that the soy is organic, odds are in favor of the soy being genetically modified.
Another soy concern stems from chemical substances called isoflavones, which occur naturally many beans and especially in soy beans. Isoflavones interact with human hormones, behaving like estrogen in the body. This aspect of soy has sparked worries and research related to unwanted effects of isoflavones, but early research suggests that soy may be helpful in alleviating menopause symptoms and preventing hormone-related cancers, like prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and breast cancer.
Other benefits of soy are clear and well-documented. Soy is high in protein, and this protein is of a very high quality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has publicly declared support for studies linking moderate soy consumption (25 grams of soy protein per day) with a lowered heart disease risk.
So consider enjoying whole soybean dishes, like tofu and steamed edamame, as well as fermented products like soy sauce, tempeh, miso, natto. Avoid highly processed foods whenever possible, and avoid soy supplements. As with all foods, enjoy everything in moderation, soy included. And talk to your doctor or nutritionist if you have any questions about whether soy is right for you.
Here's one of my favorite soy preparations: a very simple, healthy protein meal. You can eat this with brown or white rice, with vegetables or on its own. I prefer firm tofu because it holds the shape and it won't fall apart when you boil them in the water.
1 ounce firm tofu, sliced
3 green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili paste (if you want it spicy)
1. Boil Firm tofu in the water for 10 minutes and drain.
2. In a small bowl, mix green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil and chili paste.
3. Cut tofu in cubes (or any size you like) and put it on a plate.
4. Drizzle the soy sauce mix over tofu. Enjoy!

ANDOVER — Private land will now be looked at for the proposed plan to build a fire substation in Ballardvale.
The Ballardvale Fire Station Building Committee is putting together a request for proposals (RFP) for the town to purchase land for the station. Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said the RFP is still being "fine tuned" by the town's purchasing office and should be released in the next few weeks.
The proposals should be available for the committee to consider by November, he said.
Dan Casper, chairman of the building committee, said some of the RFP's requirements include lot size and shape, amount of street frontage and topography.
The current recommendation of the building committee is to build the fire substation on the South Elementary School's ball field at the corner of Andover and Woburn streets with the field being relocated behind the school. The plan also includes several improvements to the South School property, including additional parking and several traffic alleviation measures.
The proposed station would replace the Ballardvale Fire Station on the corner of Clark Road and Andover Street, built in the late 1800s to house horse-drawn fire apparatus.
But the plan has been met with opposition from a number of residents concerned about a number of issues, including traffic, hazards to children, changing the feel of the neighborhood and making the school less desirable to potential home buyers.
Casper said the RFP was crafted in response to the concerns raised by the neighbors. But the Ballardvale Fire Station Building Committee continues to present the South School location as its top recommendation.
"We'll throw a net out there and see if there is anything else," Casper said.
The South School site was first presented to the School Committee by the Ballardvale Fire Station Building Committee in January for information only. The building committee would have to seek approval from the School Committee to build at the school site.
Diane Lewis, of Bayberry Lane, said there are other options for the station and the South School site should be avoided. She recommended land near the Spring Grove Cemetery.
"There's only the dead on the other side," she said.
Many residents have recommended building the station in that area on land abutting Recreation Park.
"We looked at it and it doesn't work," Casper said. "We can't look at it more and make it work."

Gleason had a great year in 2011. In 15 starts, she recorded six top-10 finishes, with her best finish in the Symetra Classic finishing second. She is tied for first with the most top-10 finishes this season.
Here's what Gleason has to say about her 2011 Futures Tour seasons and she shares a little about herself:
LPGA: How would you describe your 2011 season on the LPGA Futures Tour?
GLEASON: Consistent. Out of my eight years on tour this past season was by far the most consistent one I have had yet. I believe that almost half the time I teed it up I shot under par. There are a lot of things I can attribute to this but not one that I would say made a huge difference. Everything started to come together last off-season and it was nice to see some results after working hard the past two years. I got a new fitness trainer in the off-season of 2009 and decided to make some necessary swing changes too. It was nice this year to trust what I had trained and asked my body to do.
LPGA: Many would not have stuck out eight years on the Futures Tour. Why did you?
GLEASON: You know I have chosen to play this crazy game as my career and as you all know out there it can be a "love-hate" relationship sometimes. In all my years on tour I have had both the high's and low's. But I would not trade it for anything in the world. Winning twice in 2005 on the Futures Tour was one of my favorite moments in my career and I'm constantly looking for that third win. The desire that I have to compete and get better has unsurpassed anything else. I am very blessed to get to call a golf course my office :-)
LPGA: How do you feel about earning your LPGA card for 2012?
GLEASON: Receiving my tour card in Albany was a great way to end the year. We travel all over the country for six months out of the year and tee it up each week hoping to finish at the end of the year in the top-five on the money list for a full LPGA Tour Card. It was a great awards ceremony. I wish all my family and friends could have been there to celebrate with me.
LPGA: Are you planning on attending LPGA Qualifying Tournament – Final Stage?
GLEASON: Yes I am going to LPGA Final stage of Q School. Unfortunately, there is a night and day difference between fifth and sixth on the money list. Finishing six to 10 on the money list puts you in a pretty low priority to get into LPGA events for the 2012 season. If I want to continue to live my dream and play full time on the LPGA I need to attend Q School and finish in the top-20 to receive full status. Goodness knows I have been there a few times...I could probably name you every target on both course without my yardage book in front of me.
LPGA: What are you doing to prepare for the tournament?
GLEASON: I have started preparing for Q School out in Texas. I will be back in Florida the beginning of November. October is my favorite month in Texas and it has been perfect weather to get a lot of work done with my golf. However, there are many more important things besides the ball beating on the range to prepare. I of course have been drinking lots of coffee, shaving my legs every morning (very important to get the day started right), making sure my toe nails are painted, eating lots of chips and salsa, enjoying an occasional adult beverage or two and watching all the cartoon network I can handle. I should be good to go by Nov. 30th!!!!!!
LPGA: Have you set any goals yet for the LPGA Tour?
GLEASON: Oh I don't know...Let's get crazy and say WIN!!!!!!!!!
LPGA:What are your plans for the off-season?
GLEASON: I haven't really thought about the off-season yet but I know that it will involve at least one ski trip to Colorado at some point. I also might pick up sewing and maybe start writing my book titled "The Story of the Traveling Tee" Life of a mini tour golfer.
LPGA:What did you learn most about your game this season?
GLEASON: I will have to give a shout out to my good buddy Lisa Strom who has moved on and retired from professional golf. We figured out something about my golf game back on a putting green in Florida in January. I can't release all my secret because if I told ya I would have to kill ya. I learned that no matter what stage you are in your career there is always room for learning and improvement. And then to get really good at it you have to work at it and practice it till your blue in the face.
LPGA:When the top-10 Futures Tour players earn their cards, they get giant replicas of their LPGA Tour card. Do you still have your big card?
GLEASON: You betcha I still have that thing. After flying all over the country with it I am happy to say that it sits on Angela Stanford's mantel in Texas.
LPGA:If you weren't a professional golfer what else would you do?
GLEASON: If you ask my family or friends they would say I could pretty much do anything. I have always wanted to drive a garbage truck even since I was a little kid. Maybe be a singer on Broadway someday or work for NASA and put people on the moon. But I will say that I am very very happy at both jobs that I have.
LPGA:We know you can play golf, so tell us if you have any other hidden talents?
GLEASON: I'm not sure if you would call this a hidden talent but I do everything left handed except golf. The first golf club I picked up was right handed so I didn't know otherwise and that's how it all began. I've always wondered what would have happened on the other side of the ball.
