Air Force print news (Dec. 11, 2003): officials announce EELV contract award.
This was a sole-source contract award to Lockheed Martin, officials said. The Boeing Company was ineligible to compete. Three Boeing integrated defense business units are currently under suspension from competing for government launch contracts.
"This (EELV) will launch a critical national security space capability that will provide information this nation's leaders and warfighters so critically need," said Peter B. Teets. He is the undersecretary of the Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office director.
The Lockheed Martin Atlas V and Boeing Delta IV are the two families of EELVs developed with the Air Force to modernize and reduce the cost of the nation's space-lift operations while providing the United States with assured access to space, officials said.

A dream of a time on the dream
We have just returned from spending 2 weeks, including Christmas and New Year, sailing around the Caribbean on the Thomson Dream. I can honestly say it was the best holiday ever! We were very impressed with almost everything about the cruise from beginning to end. The staff were the friendliest, most helpful people we have ever encountered on any holiday, from the cabin steward to the bar staff and the restaurant staff. Everyone went out of their way to make our holiday as wonderful as possible. The ship was very clean and although some people were heard complaining about having to use disinfectant gel in the restaurants and on returning to the ship, they were obviously the sort of people that had to have something to complain about, probably the people that wrote the review entitled Nightmare! We thoroughly enjoyed all the entertainment on offer and there was something for everyone, whatever your taste in entertainment. We had paid extra for the drinks package and felt it was worth More
the money as we were able to have whatever we wanted (including branded drinks like Bacardi and Gordon's gin!)without having to pay any extra.
The food in the Orion restaurant was of a very high quality and we never once had cold food or had to wait for a meal..the only minor complaint would be that there was no iced water on the tables but that didn't matter too much as the wine stewards were very quick at topping up our glasses with cold wine!
We visited some wonderful islands and went on some very enjoyable trips...we were disappointed that we were unable to dock at Grenada but it couldn't be helped and we'll just have to make sure we do that island next time! We spoke to various other guests on board and they all said that they were as impressed as we were with their holiday, in fact many of them were repeat Dream cruisers. We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end and can't wait to cruise on the Thomson Dream again as soon as possible! Less

JIVR folding e-bike ditches the chain
Folding electric bicycles are becoming increasingly popular, although the presence of a chain (or an external belt drive) can complicate the folding procedure. Additionally, chains can transfer grime onto users' pants. That's why British start-up JAM Vehicles created the JIVR Bike. It has a chainless sealed drivetrain, along with some other interesting features. Read More
Grundorf releases folding guitar maintenance table
Though the tone of a guitar won't be affected by regular maintenance, removing the accumulated gunk, giving it a good polish and paying some attention to the hardware will not only help it retain its looks, but it should play better, too. Trying to find a suitable surface to perform these essential tasks, having all the necessary tools at hand and making sure that the instrument is adequately supported can be quite a challenge. Grundorf's portable GMT-004 folds out to accommodate acoustic or electric guitars, includes compartments for stowing away tools, strings and supplies, and features a pop-up support for the instrument's neck.

Klepper's solar-powered E-Kayak gives your arms a rest
Paddling lakes, bays and rivers by kayak is a rewarding experience, but it can also be quite tiring. That's why Klepper offers paddlers the benefit of a solar-powered electric drive in its E-Kayak. The paddler can kick back and let the small motor take over the forward-floating load. The design adds a little modern-day technology and convenience to Klepper's classic folding kayak. Read More
Helix bike is claimed to fold smaller than any other
The whole idea behind folding bikes is that they can be made very small and unobtrusive for transit and storage. It would follow, therefore, that the smaller they can be folded down, the better. Well, Toronto's Peter Boutakis claims that his company's Helix bike can fold smaller than any other. It's also got a snazzy lightweight titanium frame. Read More
Ultra X might be the world's lightest (non-weird) folding bike
Given that their design incorporates hinges and locking mechanisms, folding bikes aren't necessarily synonymous with light weight. Allen Sports' new Ultra X, however, tips the scales at just 18.75 lb (8.5 kg). The carbon fiber commuter may just be the world's lightest folding bike ... or at least, the lightest one that looks relatively normal. Read More
We've covered our fair share of last-mile electric vehicles here at Gizmag, but this latest to come to our attention may just hit the sweet spot between weight, top speed, and range.

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have appropriated a less-common technique of origami known as "collapse"-type, in which all folds are carried out more or less simultaneously, to create complex reversibly self-folded 3D structures around a millimeter in size.

Saliva test promises simpler diagnosis for autism
In lieu of an effective medical test, physicians rely on assessments of behavioural patterns and social skills to diagnose autism. But new research suggests that this process needn't be so prolonged and intrusive. A team of scientists has identified biomarkers in the saliva of children with the condition, potentially paving the way for earlier, and more reliable, diagnoses. Read More
New Samsung app aims to aid social development for children with autism
A new app released by Samsung aims to improve the lives of children suffering from autism by presenting a fun, smartphone or tablet-based developmental aid. Many who have the condition struggle to convey the simplest of emotions or form bonds with others, due to the behavioral development issues that prevent simple interactions such as eye contact. The app, known as Look At Me, is targeted at improving the quality of life for those growing up with autism by aiding in the development of basic social skills. Read More
Over a number of years, researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute have developed software to measure human emotion through face detection and analysis. Dubbed SHORE (Sophisticated High-speed Object Recognition), the technology has the potential to aid communication for those with disabilities. Now the team has repurposed the software as an app for Google Glass, with a view to bringing its emotion-detecting technology to the world. Read More
When experts look back over early home movies of babies later diagnosed with autism, they can see the early behavioral markers of the disorder. The average age of diagnosis, however, is 5 years old. The availability and cost of trained clinicians limits not just early awareness, but also research into autism on a large scale. At Duke University, researchers from different disciplines are using computer vision algorithms to make early diagnosis more likely, and even intend to create an app for parents to use at home.

Quick Trainer to help toilet train autistic kids
A new toilet-training device developed by researchers at the University of Rochester combines a wearable sensor pad, Bluetooth technology, an iOS device and accompanying app to help toilet train intellectually disabled children. Rather than just providing entertainment like the iPotty, the Quick Trainer issues an alert the moment the child starts to pee, so adults can take them to the toilet and encourage them to use it. If all goes well, they are rewarded with treats to encourage them to head to the toilet the next time the need arises. Read More

text: Kenyan breaks New York marathon record Africa Emerges Africa Emerges Money Africa Tristan McConnell on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya reacts as he crosses the finish line to win the ING New York City Marathon on Nov. 6, 2011, in New York. In two hours, five minutes and six seconds, Geoffery Mutai set a new record for the New York marathon, running it a full two minutes faster than the previous record-holder. The 30-year-old Kenyan also set an unofficial new world record for marathon running in Boston in April when he ran the course in just over two hours and three minutes. Officials said that Boston records do not count because the course is too flat and has too many downhill sections. Nevertheless, Mutai's victories, which are creeping every closer to the 2-hour Holy Grail of marathon running, make him a favorite for gold at next year's 2012 London Olympics. He is not alone. Kenyans have dominated distance-running this year. At the Athletics World Championships in South Korea this summer Kenyan runners took gold in the men's 800m, 1500m and marathon and the women's 5000m, 10000m and marathon. Another Kenyan, Patrick Makau, is the current world record holder after running the Berlin Marathon in September in a time just a minute and a half faster than Mutai. The victories are all the sweeter coming just months after the death of Sammy Wanjiru, a young Kenyan runner who won gold in the marathon at the Beijing Olympics at just 21 years of age. Wanjiru died when he fell from a first-floor balcony after a row with his wife. More: Kenya: The business of running

Lane or Lazy Boy??
Anyone with experience with Lane or Lazy Boy sofas?
ahhh.... no
Sorry... I took the question literally.
You just asked
"Anyone with experience with Lane or Lazy Boy sofas?"
and I let you know I did with La-Z-Boy.
You did not ask for specifics and I did not expound...
La-z-Boy's quality was bad, pattern was mismatched (but DH decided we could live with that), foam failed in two years. I would never do business with them again.
I've had La-z-Boy and Lane recliners. Had the same experience as luann with the La-z-boy: foam failure w/in about 2, maybe 2-1/2 years... the upholstry also split. Had the exact same experience with a La-z-Boy sofa - a huge split in the upholstry seam and foam failure. I'll never, ever purchase the brand again.
One Lane recliner is almost 15 years old and still in good, if slightly battered, condition. (DH uses it in the man cave.) No foam failure and the upholstry hasn't split anywhere.
I shopped for a new leather recliner a few years ago. It took me almost a year to settle on one; wound up choosing a Lane. DH loves it and the leather feels like an old pair of gloves... it's aging beautifully.
The quality of both of these brands has deteriated in the past 5 years. Many pieces are made in China now. They are considered lower end brands today. I would explore Palliser Horizons (its a Canadian Company), Massoud, Jaymar, some Flexsteel. These are mostly mid-line brands. Visit the Leathershoppes.com and look at manufacturer's ratings. Not all brands are included, but it may be helpful.
I bought a Lazy-Boy sofa a couple years ago. I am the only person in the home and do not use my furniture harshly. Within 5 months the foam on the recliner part (under where you put your legs) started breaking down- it was cheap, flimsy material- throughout the whole sofa. The furniture store replaced it and the same thing happened.
Lazy-Boy has become a low end, cheap company- not at all what it used to be. I will never buy Lazy-Boy again.
I didn't want to buy a terribly expensive sofa because I know I will be wanting to sell my home soon- and will want to sell the furniture as well. I bought A Broyhill leather sofa from an online dealer- it was HORRIBLE!! The leather was so hard and slick you couldn't even stay on the thing! Uncomfortable also. I sent it back and then bought the 'Brockton' (I think), the slightly rounded conversation model, from a local dealer. It is a better quality sofa from Broyhill and is WONDERFULL!! I have had so many compliments and it is soft as glove leather- the whole sofa is comfortable!
Stay away from LB.
I have experience with us.I thing Lane Recliners is a best of them.I like's future and luxuriate look.

Prague (9/1)
... think. The last stop we had a sample board with a few things to eat. Then the night came to an end. We asked Czech Cale for a photo, but at the time he wasn't wearing his glasses, and thought it would be a lil weird asking him to put his glasses back on. Photo attached. We finished our beers and made our way back to our hotel. As we did, we walked through the main city square and took a few photos. Wasn't long after we got back to our room that we crashed ...
Winging the trains of Europe
... us to look out for one in a particular colour. I learnt that the shops on the side of the River near to the castle were much more expensive than on the other side of the river! This side were charging 200 kroner, with the same thing being 150 kroner on the other side. As the kroner is about 20 to 1 to the Australian dollar, it isn't that much, but it is in kroner!
We did manage to lose Sarina for a while on the main bridge, but ...
Prague - an elegant fairytale city
... the hotel's neighbourhood, which is very well located in central Prague. We were very thankful for Greg and Glynis' recommendation after their recent stay. Wandering around Central Prague was very enjoyable, especially meandering at a leisurely pace!!! ...
Prague should be renamed to "City of Stairs"
Every where we seemed to go in Prague involved walking up stairs.
Go to the metro station, up 100 stairs. Go to Petrin Tower it seemed like 1000 stairs to climb. That was just to get there, to get to the top another 299 steps required climbing.
Petrin Tower is supposed to be a scale model but if you believe Wikipedia it's nothing like it.
Anyway Allison had a spare session so I met her at the Metro and we caught the train down and then walked around ...
... Headed away, back to get the little train to the big train and finally back to Prague! We were pretty tired..
Arrived back in Prague, went to a bar for a couple of drinks to kill some time then went and had curries for dinner before we head back to the hostel to hopefully find our bags where we left them! Luckily they were just sitting in the unlocked room..
Walked back to the train station, our train arrived and we set up camp in our wee 6 bed cabinette for the night! ...

Supreme Court will hear case of police accessing unlocked cellphone
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA—The Supreme Court of Canada is taking on the question of whether police can access information on a cellphone that isn't protected by a password.
The court has agreed to hear an appeal from Kevin Fearon, who was arrested after an armed robbery in Toronto in 2009.
Police obtained photos of a gun and cash, as well as a text message about jewelry, after taking a closer look at Fearon's phone, which was unlocked.
After he was convicted, Fearon appealed, arguing that police breached his rights when they examined the phone after his arrest.
The Ontario Court of Appeal said it was all right for the police to look through the phone in a cursory fashion to see if there was evidence relevant to the crime, but after that they should have stopped to get a search warrant.
Had the phone been password-protected or otherwise locked to anyone other than its owner, "it would not have been appropriate" to look through the phone without a search warrant.
The appeal judges referred to a decision in a murder case in which the judge did not allow evidence from a personal electronic device because it "functioned as a minicomputer," which has a high expectation of privacy.
The contents of that device were only extracted by a police officer using specialized equipment, the judges noted.
"There was no suggestion in this case that this particular cellphone functioned as a 'minicomputer,' nor that its contents were not 'immediately visible to the eye,'" the court said in its ruling.
"Rather, because the phone was not password-protected, the photos and the text message were readily available to other users."
Defence lawyer Sean Robichaud said that approach failed to take into account the amount of information many people keep on their cellphones these days.
Fearon also appealed over the issue of access to a lawyer, saying he was left in an interview room for five hours without an opportunity to contact counsel.
The Supreme Court, however, said the appeal will be limited to the cellphone issue.
As usual, the justices gave no reasons for agreeing to hear the case.

Commissioner Scott Soares
Commissioner, Department of Agriculture Resources (DAR)
Along a park next to the Boston Children's Museum earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending the first Boston Local Food Festival. After days of steady rain, the clouds cleared for a perfect fall day, which allowed upward of 30,000 visitors to enjoy the spectacular outdoor event. Months of planning by the Sustainable Business Network and the Boston Food Council went off without a hitch. The food, health and agricultural communities came together for this event to celebrate the vibrant food culture in Boston.
More than 120 restaurants, non-profit organizations, specialty food companies and farms participated in the festival! Blue Heron Organic and Red Fire Farms intermingled with restaurants like 3 Little Pigs and Stone Hearth Pizza. But the bounty didn't end there. There were 45 specialty food vendors like Ben's Sugar Shack, Hedgie's Hot Stuff and Taza Chocolate, all with samples that kept you coming back for more. And of course DAR was there to promote fresh food from farms across the Commonwealth.
The first Boston Local Food Festival was truly a landmark. It was a celebration of all that Boston and Massachusetts have to offer by way of healthy and delicious food. And as indicated by organizations in attendance it was a signal that the city is committed to making healthy food a top priority.
Here's some suggestions from our friends at the Department of Public Health on their blog about how to make healthy eating a part of your dinner menu.

Wine-Mono Isn't Too Fit For .NET
Published on 04 February 2013 05:14 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
Over the past few months there's been several Phoronix articles about Wine-Mono, a fork of Mono and a Win32 build of this open-source Microsoft .NET implementation for Wine. Wine-Mono can be used in place of Microsoft's official .NET framework when it's needed as a dependency for Windows programs running within Wine. Unfortunately, Wine-Mono doesn't always work out well.
Wine-Mono was talked about at the FOSDEM 2013 meeting in Brussels this past weekend in a presentation by Vincent Povirk. Wine-Mono is a specialized upstream Mono code-base that tries to avoid differences with upstream while also being a build for Windows itself -- upstream Mono hasn't been too interested in Mono on Windows but rather for Linux, various mobile operating systems, and other platforms. Wine can't use the Linux version of Mono because it needs to call back into Wine. This specialized Mono build also has registry keys and files for preventing programs from using/installing the native Microsoft .NET run-time. This forked version also bundles in some projects not directly in the Mono code-base, such as some VB class files.
Problems for some Wine users with using the official Microsoft .NET implementation is that its End-User License Agreement requires a Windows license to install .NET, .NET can't be used for porting applications also due to EULA restrictions, and there's a few rare cases where Wine-Mono happens to work better than .NET.
Unfortunately, Wine-Mono doesn't have a vibrant active developer community and its lead developer doesn't expect to achieve much success in the years ahead. "At the rate I'm getting work done, I don't expect much improvement in the next few years."
"I spend more time debugging than making useful changes... It's sort of discouraging," Vincent Povirk added. he also said that he's been overwhelmed by the size and scope of .NET and Mono. In the end the FOSDEM 2013 presentation on Wine-Mono came down to a cry for help in an attempt to attract more development attention to Wine and Mono.

The Odyssey Group at Morgan Stanley seeks long-term relationships with clients who desire a committed advisor in their financial journey. Utilizing a holistic financial planning approach, our team focuses on understanding your goals and objectives before providing specific recommendations.
See March On the Markets from the Global Investment Committee featuring
• "The Power of Three" Michael Wilson, chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, explains how three separate events in the global economy are coming together to help the recovery become more synchronous and sustainable.
• "Is Winning Losing and Losing Winning?" Perhaps it is in the NBA, where the worst teams get first dibs in the player draft. Adam Parker, Morgan Stanley & Co.'s chief US equity strategist, explains how winning by losing applies to investors.
• "Tax-Free Yields Near Taxable Treasuries" Municipal bonds typically sell with yields below those of comparable-maturity US Treasury bonds because municipal income is taxed by the federal government. Now, a confluence of factors has created a situation in which tax-free bonds are yielding nearly the same as Treasuries.
Plus, more on global equities, fixed income securities, currencies and commodities.

Nice scenery and taking care of business...
First thing this morning we looked out the window and saw some really different looking birds...good sized black birds with bright yellow heads and breasts. Not having a clue what we were looking at, we asked our next door neighbor what in the heck they were, and he said they are yellow headed black birds! Who knew (Marian H. of course, but who else?)! They were really striking looking birds and fun to watch...they almost seemed to waddle as they walked. Our ...
Friday, Day Eleven
... could attend a "Farewell Dinner" for someone at work. Keith and I ate at "Five Guys" for the first time (and maybe last). OMG! What a cholesterol hit that was!
A quiet evening at the house. Tomorrow we are headed downtown for the Street Market in the morning, and Celtic Festival the afternoon and evening.
I need to download some software to combine the 120 odd images I took at this location to make the star trail image, which I haven't done yet. The 'funny' story behind this group of shots is that Carol and I were out in the middle of no where, in the dark. We were out on a board walk that led out to a small lake in a meadow. All around us were hills / mountains. ...

That's all for now. I'll post a few photos when we arrive in Missoula. Should be there in an hour or ...

There was another weird string of coincidences that gave me nightmares too. My left ear has been itchy since I started the trip. I don't know why, and I doubt it is anything to worry about. But on this rainy night it was worse than normal. Well, as I slept on that ...

2013 Audi Allroad gets more power, better mileage
Though both vehicles are luxury wagons based on the A4 sedan, Audi isn't just swapping names back and forth between the two cars. When the Avant took over in 2006, changes were made, and the new 2013 Allroad is different from the A4 Avant it supersedes. The Allroad is 0.6 inches wider, 2.3 inches taller, and has 1.5 inches more ground clearance. Wheelbase length has been stretched to 110.4 inches, creating a smoother ride. Headroom for the driver and front-seat passenger has also been increased.
The 2013 Allroad (Audi stylizes the name by using all lowercase letters: allroad) is more powerful and gets better fuel economy than the original version. Mechanically, it comes one-size-fits-all, with a terrific 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, coupled with an equally impressive Tiptronic eight-speed automatic transmission and topped off with Audi's esteemed all-wheel drive system, Quattro (Audi lowercases that name, too: quattro).
Three trim levels are offered: Premium ($40,495), Premium Plus ($43,795), and Prestige ($49,695). These prices include a destination charge of $895.
Allroad's zero to 60 mph acceleration time is 6.5 seconds. The fuel economy rating is 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, and premium fuel is recommended.
The earlier Allroad was built to handle off-road driving, and at the car's press introduction Audi proved it by including a long and fairly rugged off-road segment in the all-day drive route. The new Allroad isn't intended for off-road use, but with 7.1 inches of ground clearance and all-wheel drive, it can be taken off-pavement onto rough roads if they're not seriously thrashed.
On pavement, Quattro provides a large dose of extra stability, especially welcome if the road is wet or white.
Audi's status as a luxury brand is reflected in the Allroad interior's impeccable workmanship and high comfort level. A 12-way power adjustable driver's seat and 8-way power adjustable front passenger seat are standard equipment. Other standard features are a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade, halogen headlights with front and rear foglights, and a 10-speaker Audi premium sound system that includes Sirius satellite radio, CD player and MP3 playback capability.
Also standard is a Pacific Northwest driver's dream: rain-sensing windshield wipers with a four-position adjustable sensor rate. I use windshield wipers as soon as there's a molecule of water on the glass, but I have a friend who's the opposite. She lets rain soak the windshield for so long before she does anything, you'd think her wipers weren't working. With the Allroad's adjustable sensor rate, both extremes, or close to it, can be accommodated.
The second-row split seat is foldable, creating 50 cubic feet of cargo space. With the seats upright, the rear cargo area measures 27 cubic feet and includes a retractable cover.
My tester was a Premium Plus model, whose $3,300 above the Premium model adds an auto-dimming interior mirror with compass, auto-dimming power-folding and heated outside mirrors, Audi music interface with iPod cable, Bluetooth preparation, driver information system with trip computer, heated front seats with driver-side memory, HomeLink garage door opener, Audi xenon plus lighting with LED daytime running lights, three-zone climate control, and a power tailgate.
On a base model whose price tag tops $40,000, it seems like these features should be standard. But the cachet of the Audi brand and the excellent driving dynamics of its German engineering come at a cost. For some buyers it's worth it. For others, not so much.

Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy:
SSA Continues to Approve Applicants, but Millions of Individuals Have Not Yet Applied
GAO-08-812T: Published: May 22, 2008. Publicly Released: May 22, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5491
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
To help the elderly and disabled with prescription drug costs, the Congress passed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), which created a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit (Medicare Part D). A key element of the prescription drug benefit is the low-income subsidy, or "extra help," available to Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources to assist them in paying their premiums and other out-of-pocket costs. To assess the Social Security Administration's (SSA) implementation of the subsidy, GAO is providing information on (1) the number of applicants approved for or denied the low-income subsidy and (2) challenges of identifying individuals eligible for the subsidy and targeting outreach efforts. This statement is based on a prior GAO report on the subsidy and associated spending issued in May 2007, selected aspects of which we updated in May 2008.
Of the approximately 7.2 million applicants for the low-income subsidy, SSA approved approximately 2.8 million as of March 2008, and SSA has improved some key measures for its subsidy application processes. SSA approved about 570,000 applicants, denied about 403,000 applicants, and determined that no decision was required for about 281,000 applicants in fiscal year 2007. Excess income was the primary reason applicants were denied benefits, while many other applicants were denied benefits because their resources exceeded program limits. Further, SSA has collected data and established some goals to monitor its progress in implementing and administering the subsidy benefit. No reliable data are available to help SSA identify the eligible population for its outreach efforts, and millions who may be eligible have not yet applied. SSA maintains that it would not be able to establish specific goals and measures for its outreach activities, as we recommended in our May 2007 report because, of the lack of reliable data on the total eligible population. Responding to another of our recommendations, SSA is working with the Internal Revenue Service to determine if tax data can help target individuals eligible for the subsidy. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Congressional Budget Office have estimated, respectively, that about 2.6 million to over 4 million individuals who may qualify for the subsidy are not receiving it. Various barriers, such as reluctance to disclose personal financial information or lack of knowledge of the subsidy, may prevent potentially eligible Medicare beneficiaries from applying for the subsidy. To solicit applications from individuals potentially eligible for the subsidy, SSA conducted an extensive outreach campaign from May 2005 to August 2006, but has decreased its outreach activities since then. Staffing constraints in SSA field offices may also limit SSA's ability to assist individuals with the subsidy and conduct local outreach to inform the public about the subsidy.

Igby Goes Down is a good movie, and has its exceptional moments, but time is already starting to drag on this one.
As Igby struggles with what to do with his life, and how to best avoid his mother, he's brought to many crossroads with his relationships with these two women.
Just like Salinger's hero, Igby gets kicked out of prep school and begins a descent into the gritty neighborhoods of New York City.

Mark Your Calendar: Folsom Street Fair Changing Date For First Time In 20 Years
Dec 22, 2011
Are public gay celebrations under attack? First came word that Chicago Pride was moving both the location and the time of its annual parade. Now producers of San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair have announced they're changing the date of the infamous erotic free-for-all for the first time in two decades.
Traditionally held the final weekend of September, Folsom will be held on Sunday, September 23, 2012—to avoid a scheduling conflict with Oracle OpenWorld, a massive telecom conference running September 30 through October 4.
It's not so much that their guest list will overlap (though you never know) as it is that Folsom producers are worried there won't be enough hotel rooms to accommodate everyone.
"We were told only weeks after this year's fair that nearly the entire inventory of hotel rooms for the city had been sold out for the last weekend of September 2012," says Folsom Street Fair executive director Demetri Moshoyannis. "So, we were faced with a decision: either move the 2012 fair date and risk upsetting some people who had booked way in advance or not move the fair date, knowing that tens of thousands of visitors would be unable to book rooms at all."

Jay Z, Beyonce and Drake Lead 2014 BET Awards Nominations
Chart-topping superstars Jay Z, Beyonce and Drake lead the nominations for the 2014 BET Awards.
Chart-topping superstars Jay Z, Beyonce and Drake lead the nominations for the 2014 BET Awards.
Justin Timberlake and friends pay tribute to Michael Jackson in the joyful video for 'Love Never Felt So Good.'
With Michael Jackson's posthumous album, 'Xscape,' releasing on May 13, the highly-anticipated first single, 'Love Never Felt So Good,' arrives featuring a very special guest.
Did you miss Justin Timberlake perform last year on his 20/20 Experience World Tour? If so, you're in luck. JT and his band, the Tennessee Kids, will make another go-around in the U.S. with more dates for his globally celebrated trek.
According to Billboard, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce made more dough last year than a bakery. The two pop superstars grace the publication's annual Rich List.
What a week for 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon. During his inaugural week, he successfully made funny parodies out of songs from R. Kelly and the Sugarhill Gang, respectively. On Friday (Feb. 21), Jimmy teamed up with Justin Timberlake to perform a fun rendition of the 'History of Rap.'
The thespian community is mourning over the loss of beloved actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. The 46-year-old film star was found dead in his New York apartment on Sunday (Feb. 2), according to ScreenCrush.
Some people wait for hours after the show to see their favorite artist leave the venue. Meanwhile, others will throw down ridiculous amounts of green to get seats close enough for them to take a selfie with the singer in the background. However, some fans tend to take things one step further and show their devotion in a more permanent fashion.
Jay Z left the Grammys with a brand new "sippy cup" for his daughter Blue Ivy. That's because he took home the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with 'Holy Grail' -- a Justin Timberlake collaboration off 'Magna Carta Holy Grail.'
Justin Timberlake made a splash when he returned from a eight-year hiatus with 'Suit & Tie,' and he continued the buzz with an extravagantly produced video for the song. Two platinum albums and almost a year later, it's time to reap the awards.
