Intel's mobile division has lost an astonishing $2 billion so far this year July 16, 2014 at 7:15 am
Intel's Q2 results are excellent and the company's profits much improved — but its mobile divisions continue bleeding money. When it called this contra-revenue, it wasn't kidding.
TSMC is finally making 20nm parts for Apple's next-gen iPhone, iPad July 10, 2014 at 2:42 pm
TSMC has reportedly begun shipping Apple 20nm chips in volume, setting the stage for an introduction and launch later this year. The iPhone 6 will be the first 20nm SoC on the market — will Apple use that advantage to extend its lead over its rivals?
Intel's new 14nm Core M chip will finally bring big-core x86 CPUs to fanless tablets June 3, 2014 at 3:28 pm
Intel debuted its upcoming Broadwell Y CPU and Llama Mountain prototype at Computex yesterday. The new chip is the centerpiece of the thinnest, lightest x86 tablet we've ever seen fielded with a "big core" x86 processor inside.
AMD's next big gamble: ARM and x86 cores working side by side on the same chip May 22, 2014 at 2:42 pm
AMD has already announced that it plans to build ARM and x86 cores on a common platform going forward — but what if that's just the first step in the company's long-term plan? We examine the case for a future ARM-x86 combined processor family, with both architectures sharing space on the same SoC.
Snapdragon 805 benchmarked: Krait's last hurrah, and the arrival of a new GPU king May 22, 2014 at 9:08 am
Qualcomm has finally taken the wraps off the Snapdragon 805 SoC. The Snapdragon 805 is the mobile industry's last great hurrah for the aging 32-bit ARMv7 architecture, and also Qualcomm's Krait CPU swan song. Truth be told, though, the Snapdragon 805 isn't really about the CPU at all — much more importantly, it's the vehicle for the introduction of the new and incredibly powerful Adreno 420 GPU, and some new buses and other logic blocks that allow for 4K display and 4K video capture. Just how powerful is the Snapdragon 805? Read on for more details and benchmarks.

Ahead of its official release on April 11, reviews of Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, have started to trickle in. If you're an Android fan, it's good news: The Galaxy S5 reviews are almost universally positive.
Qualcomm unveils 64-bit Snapdragon 808 and 810 SoCs: The Apple A7 stop-gap measures continue April 7, 2014 at 2:30 pm
Qualcomm is known for its custom Krait cores, but those are still 32-bit. As 64-bit support becomes another spec sheet checkbox, Qualcomm is turning to ARM for off-the-shelf Cortex cores in the new Snapdragon 808 and 810.
Apple's A7 Cyclone CPU detailed: A desktop class chip that has more in common with Haswell than Krait March 31, 2014 at 8:48 am
Some six months after Apple shocked the world with its 64-bit A7 SoC, which appeared in the iPhone 5S and then the iPad Air, we finally have some hard details on the Cyclone CPU's architecture. It seems almost every tech writer was wrong about the A7: The CPU is not just a gradual evolution of its Swift predecessor — it's an entirely different beast that's actually more akin to a "big core" Intel or AMD CPU than a conventional "small core" CPU.

Metro travellers by Alex Raventós Cardús
We love this collection of Barcelona metro travellers. So very charming!
Audiobus 2 Has Arrived and It Is Fantastic
Launch day
The much anticipated update to Audiobus has been released today and it is very exciting news for the iOS musician community.
We are sure Audiobus needs no introduction to most of you and Version 2 has some great new features as well as a newly designed interface (looking a lot flatter than before).
Audiobus 2's New Features
- Multi-Routing (In-app purchase for $4.99 / £2.99 and well worth it!) - this introduces parallel pipes for multiple inputs via different processing apps into multiple (or one) outputs - very impressive and from our initial testing it works really well, even on our older iPad 3rd gen.
- Presets - saveable and shareable (via email, Twitter and Facebook)
- State-Saving - for compatible apps, no more setting your apps up every time you want to reproduce a sound you crafted before. We are expecting this feature will be more widely supported very quickly
Slight Technical Issue
Just a small issue for Version 1 users with the In-app Purchase for Multi-routing. The Audiobus team are aware of it and have already submitted a fix to Apple, but is awaiting approval.
If you do make the $4.99 / £2.99 purchase you will probably experience crashing of the app (we certainly did), but it is easily fixed. This is from the Audiobus forum post on the issue:
***IMPORTANT FOR EXISTING Version 1 USERS: If you're encountering a crash when purchasing the In-App Purchase, please delete the Audiobus app, reboot your iDevice and then install it freshly again. You won't be charged twice. We're submitting a bug fix right now. ***
Since we followed the above advice we have had no issues at all.
The Future of Music Creation is Bright
With this Audiobus 2 update we think the creative possibilities of the iPad and other iOS devices has been massively expanded and with faster iPad hardware on the horizon we can't wait to see where iPad musicians take this new functionality.

'Night soup' and 'Passing time' by Nikolai Lockertsen
Followers of Nikko's work will notice a slightly different style and colour palette on these two iPad paintings. Is it the perspective chosen, the use of colour, or just an extraordinary attention to detail that draws you in to his paintings? Whatever it is, it's an incredible skill and one that is pretty much unrivalled.

'We Got The Beat' iPad GarageBand Tutorial
Francis has been busy. Yes it's another cover of a classic 80's track, but this time, with the video split into 4 video 'tracks' it becomes much easier to see exactly how Francis composes each track. GarageBand is the crown jewel of iPad apps, especially for those looking to take their first steps into the very large and beautiful field of music creation with the iPad.
Huge thanks to Francis for continuing to share his work.

Made with Gadgets
So this time our Tune-in Tuesday feature highlights some of the tracks we have enjoyed listening to over on Soundcloud, all created on the iPad with Korg Gadget:
Multiplex (Korg Gadget 5) by Two Hawkes
In the rain (Korg Gadget) by Mulperi
Inception (Original Club Mix) by Sensadark
Turner (Korg Gadget + MorphWiz and BIAS) by Marcus Padrini
Dubfunk (Korg Gadget) by Groovemaster303
At the Kingston Arcades (Korg Gadget for iOS) by ChrisE1G
Had to sneak in one Chiptune at least.

Cosmic Procreate iPad Painting by John Seru
Cosmic from john seru on Vimeo.
We like the way this timelapse video starts with a paper sketch of John Seru's Astronaut. His Procreate iPad painting is all the more interesting if you watch to the end and see what the Astronaut has seen in his visor.
Video: Brilliant Cover by Dawson using Loopy HD
Dawson is "an acclaimed singer/songwiter, multi instrumentalist and session musician", plus a talented loop master.
He also says on his website that he's beginning to explore iOS as a looping device and this al fresco performance goes to prove that his talent transfers very nicely.
Video: How I Paint Cherries on the iPad
Illustrator Karien Naude shared this lovely image painted on her iPad with Procreate and we very much enjoyed seeing how she created it. We hope you do to.
You can see more of Karien's illustration work on her site and we are sure she will be sharing more videos to her YouTube channel in future.
Video: Apogee Showcase iPad's Creativity
The iPad Music Creation Revolution from apogeedigital on Vimeo.
iPad Content Creation
We don't think anyone visiting iPad Creative can claim the iPad is not a content creation device.
Just a quick browse around this site will reveal some of the wonderful things people are creating with their iPads in areas such as Art, Music, Animation, Books, Photography and Video.
Apogee Get the iPad's Creative Power
Apogee Electronics know this and they have thrown their considerable weight behind the iPad and iOS, producing products such as the high fidelity Apogee JAM, Apogee MiC and even high-end interfaces such as the droolworthy Quartet.
The video above shows Apogee's commitment to the iPad platform and gives some nice examples of how your iPad can help you create great sounding audio. We hope you enjoy the video as we did.
Tune-in Tuesday: New Guitar Music Made on an iPad
We are delighted to say that our Soundcloud group for iPad using musicians is still very active. There are some really fun, creative and sometimes quite bonkers tracks being shared by Soundclouders, if you haven't visited the group before please check it out.
Here are a few original tracks that have caught our attention in recent weeks and this time we've gone for a Rock theme:
Cannibal Rat Ghost Ship by Nathan Jon Tillett
We love this song "sitting somewhere between Iron Maiden and Spinal Tap, this one has the OTT tongue-in-cheek dial turned up to 11!". Recorded partly on GarageBand for iPad using the Apogee Jam and iRig Mic (both highly recommended by the way) it is brilliant fun and an enthusiastic performance makes this one of our favourites.
Back To You by LoungeBots
As massive Back to the Future fans we were more than happy to see this (also tongue-in-cheek) tribute, just for the cover art alone. Made completely on an iPad too:
"Produced, recorded and mixed on iPads using NanoStudio, Auria, GarageBand, BeatMaker2, JamUp Pro and a variety of additional iOS synth apps."
Too Many Friends by Gaffbass02
Another original track recorded completely on an iPad using GarageBand and we think it sounds great as a demo. Here's what Gareth says about the recording of the song:
"I record this in my basement in an afternoon on an iPad 3 using an apogee jam to connect an sm58, and a cheap behringer condenser. All drums, keys, strings etc are from the iPad, and there's no external EQ etc, just straight into the GarageBand app."
Bonus Track: Budda 30 demo by Derek Buddemeyer
Some great lead playing and a very tight arrangement in this short demo from Derek that perfectly shows off the authentic sounds you can get from apps like AmpKit on the iPad.
Over to You
We hope you liked listening to our selection of tracks but if wailing guitars isn't your thing don't worry, next time we will be focussing our attention on more electro driven tracks.
In the meantime you could always explore our Soundcloud group for hundreds of tracks from all genres, we are sure you will find something there you like.
If you would like to share your iPad created sounds please feel free to join our group and add your tracks or click on the 'Send us your sounds' link in the sidebar. Thank you.

Peyton's room was fantastic for my girlfriend and myself as we stayed in Melbourne for the streetfood festival and prahran market. Everything was as described with a fan as well as an air con to cope with the heat. Would highly recommend Peyton and her room to anyone who wants a little bit of prahran and Melbourne.
Excellent communication from Peyton. The apartment was in a great location which made it very easy to see Melbourne. We liked the op shops and cafes nearby. The apartment itself was as advertised, very neat and tidy. Overall a great experience.
Peyton was great - clear communication and everything was as she said it would be.
The apartment was a great place for one person to base themselves for a few days.
Peyton was a great host and made the whole airbnb experience super easy. The location of the apartment was also fantastic and just as described. The only slight issue we had was with the size of the bed which didn't quite sleep 2 comfortably and was a tight squeeze for two adults.
Thanks Emma!
Peyton is a nice host and gave simple direct instructions to get to the apartment. I like the neighborhood very much - quiet street, friendly and feels safe, short walk to Prahran station with lots of nice restaurants. The place is a small studio apartment, no air-conditioning but the weather's nice so no problem, good wifi which is very important for me. Though there is no dedicated parking space, there are plenty of off street parking so I managed to park right in front of the building all the time.
Overall, totally met my expectations.
Thanks for staying King and I appreciate the tips!
We had a comfortable stay in Peyton's apartment and although we didn't meet her she was a great host and made our first airbnb an easy and enjoyable one. Thanks Peyton!
Thanks again for the suggestions, they've been added!
Peyton's lovely little place was perfect for a quick trip to Melbourne on a budget. It's in a great neighbourhood and while centrally located, is still very quiet. It's a small place but perfect for one person, or perhaps a couple. A little kitchen for making breakfast, a generous and sunny balcony, good bathroom, a desk for working, wi-fi to connect to, all made this ideal and homely. Peyton was really friendly and easy to liaise with, very responsive and flexible. I would definitely recommend renting from her. This was my first airbnb experience and it was really positive. Thanks Peyton!
Nadia, thank you! I'm glad you had a positive first experience. Keep using airbnb, it just gets better. Take care!
Great location is a cute, cosy and tidy apartment. Peyton also made it incredibly easy for me, confirming my same-day booking and leaving the keys and place ready within hours.
The bed itself is very comfy and the space is really well laid out. If it was just myself I'd absolutely stay again. Probably not suited to a couple as the bed is small (king single I think) but as the listing states a couch can be brought in if you really need to accommodate 2 guests.
I didn't meet Peyton but den;t need to as this is my old neighbourhood so I was pretty comfortable with everything however she left a lovely little note and I felt she would have been more than happy to answer any queries if I'd had any.
We had a great stay at Peyton's place. Although we never got to meet her, everything was just as described. The studio is in a great part of Melbourne, easy walking distance to Chapel street and all that it has to offer. The studio is small, but comfortable and pleasant. Thanks for everything, Peyton...
Peyton was a fantastic host and her place is in a great location!
We loved having Peyton stay with us! Even though she had a busy itinerary, the time we spent with her was easy; like having an old friend stay. We hope she gets to Sydney so she can stay with us again!
Peyton is a very friendly, respectful and kind person, we had a very good time with her and we defenetely reccomend her to all!

City Pages and a dozen other alternative weeklies across the country are implementing stricter standards for their advertisements after a company split with controversial ad website Backpage.com.
In a post dated Wednesday, but made public the day before, Will Bourne, the new editor of The Village Voice, said that his paper along with the other weeklies "across the entire Voice Media Group chain" are implementing stricter standards in an effort "to make sure that our advertising is as ethical as possible." The policies will come "at no small cost to the bottom line of our young enterprise," Bourne wrote. Jaimen Sfetko, a spokesman for Voice Media Group, said Wednesday afternoon that the changes would be "effective immediately" at all of the group's publications including City Pages.
In September, parent company Village Voice Media split with a group of its executives, buying out City Pages and 12 other weeklies and forming Voice Media Group. The company's founders will operate Backpage as an independent entity. Backpage has been heavily criticized by activists and authorities for classified ads on its adult-ad section that have been linked to child sex trafficking.
According to Bourne, the new policies include: all direct advertisers must provide ID proving that they are over the age of 18, all agency advertisers must contract that every client in their ads is over the age of 18 and that all photos are of actual clients and all advertisers must submit to the publications that they do not conduct illegal activity. New rules also forbid suggestive language and allow only headshots in adult ads. Any advertiser known to engage in illegal activities will be permanently blacklisted from doing business with the papers.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
'Zombies' protest toxins in waterways
Activists demand action and more information on chemical pollutantsGreenpeace activists dressed as zombies protest against alleged government inaction over industrial water pollution. (Photo: Jed Delano/Greenpeace)
- ucanews.com reporter, Manila
- Philippines
- September 27, 2012
The activists demanded the government establish a "Right-to-Know" system regarding chemicals, and adopt a policy to eliminate hazardous waste released by factories into rivers, streams and lakes.
The protest was staged on the eve of International Right-to-Know Day.
Greenpeace Southeast Asia campaigner Beau Baconguis said the organization "laments" the fact that the government "has not been vigilant in monitoring hazardous chemicals to prevent their entry into our water systems."
The Philippines passed a law on hazardous chemicals 20 years ago, but the government's Department of Environment and Natural Resources has so far issued only five "Chemical Control Orders" for mercury, asbestos, cyanide, polychlorinated biphenyls and ozone-depleting substances.
Baconguis said many of the chemicals discharged into rivers and lakes are carcinogenic and can cause mental disabilities and damage to vital organs.
Greenpeace first launched its water campaign in 2007, and since then, has been urging the government to be more decisive and uncompromising on water protection.
"It is obvious the government has failed to protect us from toxic contamination. Worse, they keep us in the dark about these pollutants," Baconguis said.
Greenpeace urged the government to establish a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register policy that would make information publicly available as a first step to eliminating toxic pollution.
"Unlike zombies which are plain make-believe, poisons in our water pose a real threat and need government's urgent attention and action," Baconguis said.
Earlier this month Greenpeace launched a three-week event where more than 100 volunteers traveled by boat, bike or on foot along 85 kilometers of Manila's waterways to document potential industry polluters and raise awareness on toxic pollution.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Windy conditions for Motown
Chicago swept the Red Wings; Kings favoured to rule Sharks
Full disclosure: The first name yours truly scribbled atop my Hart Trophy ballot before submitting it late last month -- and it was done without a nanosecond of hesitation -- was Jonathan Toews.
Full disclosure, part deux: When the National Hockey League announced last Friday its three finalists for the Hart -- awarded to the player "adjudged to be the most valuable to his team" -- and the Chicago Blackhawks' captain wasn't among them, the first reaction from this corner went something like:
'What the...?!'
Now, this isn't to suggest that Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and John Tavares are not worthy. It's just that "Captain Serious" has come to represent everything that makes the Blackhawks championship-calibre: He has that coveted combo of skill and will, and the fact he was overlooked borders on criminal.
Here's evidence of what we think makes Toews worthy of the Hart and wearing the Blackhawks' "C": When the finalists were announced last week, he was naturally approached by the media, who were seeking some sort of reaction to being snubbed.
"There's another guy across the room that deserves it just as much, probably more," Toews, referencing Patrick Kane, told the Chicago Sun-Times. "To have two guys in the talks like that, it always shows that you have a great supporting cast. It's nice. It's an honour. But you don't get to that point if your team doesn't have success the way we did this year. So huge credit to those guys."
That's the kind of leadership -- with a nod toward their depth -- that helped the Blackhawks to a five-game, first-round decision over the Minnesota Wild. It's also why it says here that Chicago, not Pittsburgh, has been the best club in the NHL through the regular season and remains so as the second round is about to begin.
With that in mind, here's a closer look at the two Western Conference semifinals, which begin tonight in Los Angeles with three of the top four seeds -- Anaheim, Vancouver and St. Louis -- already having exited in Round 1:
Chicago Blackhawks (1) vs. Detroit Red Wings (7)
Game 1: Wednesday, 7 p.m., United Center, Chicago
Head to head: The Blackhawks went 4-0 vs. the Red Wings this year, winning twice in a shootout and once in overtime.
Why the Blackhawks will win: Chicago breezed by the Wild without a goal from either Toews or Kane but with production from their other stars such as Patrick Sharp (five goals) and Marian Hossa (three goals) and their assortment of foot soldiers like Bryan Bickell (three goals) and Michael Frolik (two). A stat worth noting that highlights the Hawks' depth: In their five-game series against Minny, 11 of the 13 forwards who dressed registered at least one point.
But the Hawks don't get it done by overwhelming their opponents with one barrage after another from their offensive firepower like the Penguins. Their deep defence, led by Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and goaltender Corey Crawford, allowed only seven goals in five games and completely shut down the Wild power play, which was an anemic 0-for-17 in the series. That commitment to defending, plus the expectation that Toews and Kane will start producing offensively in the second round -- and, in the process, perhaps breathe life into a moribund power play (two-for-13 vs. the Wild) -- leaves the distinct impression the Hawks, as good as they've been, can still find another gear or two.
Why the Red Wings will win: Detroit scrapped and clawed just to get into the post-season, winning four straight down the stretch to clinch their 22nd consecutive playoff berth, and that desperation was still in their game against the Ducks. Even with all the talk this winter about how the Wings would manage without Niklas Lidstrom, there remains considerable star power with the likes of Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg and solid secondary scoring from Justin Abdelkader, Johan Franzen, Valtteri Filppula and Daniel Cleary.
What fuelled Detroit's first-round upset of the Ducks was the work of some of their young and emerging stars, including goaltender Jamie Howard, Damien Brunner, Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson. There is a solid mix of young and old, skill and brawn all being exceptionally deployed by one of the best coaches in the biz in Mike Babcock.
Tim Campbell picks: Chicago in five.
Gary Lawless picks: Chicago in seven.
Ed Tait picks: Chicago in five.
Los Angeles Kings (5) vs. San Jose Sharks (6)
Game 1: Tonight, 9 p.m., Staples Center, Los Angeles.
Head to head: The Kings were 2-1-1 vs. the Sharks this season.
Why the Kings will win: They are the defending champs and, in dispatching a solid St. Louis squad in the opening round, showcased just why they are built to repeat. They are big, deep, skilled and backed by a superb netminder in Jonathan Quick. The Kings, like the Blackhawks, were able to advance past the Blues -- who won the first two games of the series -- without real production from their top line. L.A.'s top trio of Anze Kopitar centring Justin Williams and Dustin Brown got stronger as the series progressed, but it was the Mike Richards line, featuring Jeff Carter and Dwight King, that was especially effective. Winkler's Dustin Penner is also coming alive, having scored twice in the series -- including the Game 6 clincher.
The Kings' already deep defensive corps has been bolstered by the addition of Robyn Regehr, who is paired with Drew Doughty, while Slava Voynov might be one of the most unheralded players in the entire NHL.
This is a team that knows how to win and, after rolling into the post-season as the fifth seed in the West, seems to be finding its spring mojo again.
Why the Sharks will win: Lost in all the hand-wringing in Vancouver about San Jose's sweep of the Canucks was the solid work of the men in teal and black. The Sharks might just be undergoing a bit of a metamorphosis, transforming from a team long dominated by players like Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle to one now led by Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture, among others. The move of Brent Burns from defence to wing gives the forward crew more oomph, while the trade-deadline acquisition of Raffi Torres has offered another element of speed, grit and depth. The Sharks were scary-good at home, going 17-2-5 in the regular season and reeling off two more against the Canucks in the opening round.
Finally, but not to be forgotten, the Sharks are getting world-class goaltending from Antti Niemi who was outstanding against the Canucks and will be even busier against the Kings
Tim Campbell picks: San Jose in seven.
Gary Lawless picks: Los Angeles in seven.
Ed Tait picks: Los Angeles in six.

Mariah Carey Takes Over NBCUniversal to Spread Festive Love and Cheer with "Mariah Carey's 12 Days of Christmas"
Carey joins NBCUniversal to give an exclusive, never before seen look into her favorite time of year on various NBC shows and platforms
"Mariah Carey's 12 days of Christmas" will feature a wide variety of stellar performances, exclusive one-on-one interviews, an unprecedented glimpse of the icon's holiday moments, and much more.
NEW YORK, NY– Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and eighteen Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (seventeen self-penned), more than any solo artist in history. The superstar is synonymous with Christmas thanks to her self-penned and produced #1 timeless classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The evergreen holiday smash hit, which she wrote and produced early in her career, is the annual bestselling holiday single, hitting #1 on Billboard's Holiday Digital Songs, Holiday Hot 100 and Holiday Streaming Songs charts.
Mariah's holiday opus, "Merry Christmas" is the perennial bestselling global holiday album, having sold over 14 million copies worldwide to date. And now, for the first time ever, NBCUniversal has unprecedented access into the icon's yuletide festivities.
Last week, Carey opened and closed NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center Treelighting special which garnered the highest ratings in seven years. Following the highly rated performances, Carey will officially kick off her "12 Days of Christmas" live from her chic Tribeca triplex in New York City on the Today Show on Wednesday, December 11 at 8am.
Mariah will make appearances on all three hours of the Today Show across numerous days and will also spread holiday love and cheer with appearances on Access Hollywood, Extra, Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, and Al Sharpton's PoliticsNation on MSNBC. The superstar will share Yuletide cocktail recipes, spend time with the Fresh Air Fund children and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and for the first time, allow cameras exclusive access into her home decorated for the holiday.
Carey is confirmed to headline NBC's 2013 New Year's Eve broadcast with special performances you won't want to miss! The ordained "Queen of Christmas" will also grace the stage with Michael Buble for his special airing December 18th. For a complete list of dates and up-to-the-minute information please go to mariahcarey.com and @mariahcarey on twitter.
Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and eighteen Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (seventeen self-penned), more than any solo artist in history. With her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Carey has defined the modern pop performance. As a singer/songwriter/producer, she has been recognized with multiple Grammy Awards, 21 American Music Awards, Billboard's "Artist of the Decade" Award, the World Music Award for "World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium," and BMI's "Icon Award" for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few. Mariah Carey's ongoing impact transcends the music industry to leave an indelible imprint upon the world at large. Recently, she's made a substantial mark in film with her critically acclaimed roles in Lee Daniel's Precious (2009) and The Butler (2013). A Congressional Award recipient, Carey has generously donated her time and energy to a range of philanthropic causes near to her heart including Save the Music, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, World Hunger Relief, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, among many others. A tremendous supporter of children's charities, both domestic and international, Mariah Carey, in partnership with the Fresh Air Fund founded Camp Mariah, a retreat for inner city children to explore career development.
Mariah is currently in the studio, writing, recording and executive producing her next album for Island Def Jam Music Group.

During his talk, Dupri mentioned that technology and music are driving down a very similar path, but when he comes to tech events, he's the only musician there. But that's why it's so important for him to go; mixing and interacting with a new culture is one of the most interesting parts of life.
In fact, culture and the way people come together to create things is the most inspiring thing to Dupri, period. The tech startup scene is a perfect example of mixing different cultures, which is one of the elements that Celebrate focused on. It's those type of situations where you learn more about yourself, your culture, and how you fit into the world.
Stephen Jackson Ready To Step In For Clippers
Stephen Jackson arrived in Boston just 12 hours before his first shootaround with his new team.
But he was already prepared to make his mark as a Clipper.
Jackson, who officially signed late Tuesday night, pulled out a pair of custom Jordan Brand sneakers in Clippers' colors and his initials stitched on the outer side. He talked about defense, and what it meant to be back in the league after the 35-year-old former champion watched the first six weeks of the NBA season from his San Antonio home.
"It's a blessing just to be back and get another opportunity to play again," Jackson said. "The way the season ended last year I just wanted to get back and approach the game different this year and get back and do what I love to do and that's play basketball. I'm just thankful that the Clippers gave me an opportunity with some great young guys, a great team and to just be a part of it."
Bringing in Jackson, a 6-foot-8, versatile guard/forward, became a necessity due to injuries on the wing to Matt Barnes (torn retina), Reggie Bullock (sprained ankle) and J.J. Redick (fractured hand and torn ligament in his wrist). He will be available Wednesday night against the Celtics.
"That's a guy you can bring in and hopefully he can give you something right away," Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said on the eve of his return to Boston. "He fits that bill for us, a guy who can hit shots and defend and give us some toughness, so I thought it was a good fit. After doing all our research and talking to a lot of people we thought we'd take the jump."
In 13 seasons, Jackson has appeared in 72 postseason games, including starting all 24 games for the world champion Spurs in 2002-03 and 11 more starts as one of the leaders of the "We Believe" Warriors in 2006-07 where he played alongside Barnes and former Clipper Baron Davis.
"We welcome it," Blake Griffin said of the addition of Jackson. "We need the help. He's obviously done it for a long time and been with a lot of teams so I think he has experience coming into new situations and contributing. I thought he was good for the Spurs for the last two years. We welcome it."
During Jackson's time with the Spurs Tim Duncan called him the "ultimate teammate," and Jamal Crawford, who briefly played with Jackson in Golden State, thought he would be a good fit for a Clippers team that has aspirations to go deep into the postseason.
Jackson is the only player on the Clippers' roster who has won a title and one of two players (Redick) to play in the NBA Finals.
"Stephen has played well [in the past]," Rivers said. "He's been good enough to be on a championship team."
Jackson thinks he fits well, too, and said for him it starts on the defensive end of the floor.
"I think from the start, the thing I know right now is to defend," Jackson said. "That's something I love to do. I'm going to take on that role with a lot of pride right now."
Toni Braxton (@tonibraxton) & Babyface (@KennyEdmonds) On The Cover Uptown Magazine
"I was in a small place in my life and I was going to retire. It's not even a question. I said, 'I'm tired of fighting.' I was feeling sorry for myself. I was depressed over where my career was going. I was also down with my health." Toni Braxton on her depression and whether suicide was ever a thought: "[I was] not suicidal, but it was a close relative. I've got my kids to live for, but I was in a hopeless stage in my life." Babyface on Toni Braxton quitting the music business: "Toni was kind of just talking about giving up, just not really wanting to record anymore-she was not just having fun at it anymore. I didn't think that was a very good idea. I talked her into changing her mind … You know, you can get frustrated with the music industry, but I never get frustrated with the music. The music is what drives us to begin with. So I don't think I ever lost sight of that." Babyface on how Love Marriage & Divorce got off to a rough start: "Working with Toni was a little bit different than working with her years ago, because now, we're dealing with a grown-up Toni who certainly has her own opinion in how she thinks things should be. So we went through a lot of compromises putting this record together."

The first large chunk of his work that I heard was Everything is Wrong, his 1995 Elektra debut. I had heard some of his dance stuff--most notable the Twin Peaks-sampling hit "Go"--and thought it was all right, but never really considered him anything more than an inch-above-average techno guy. Then I gave Everything a full listen and my interest was piqued: Here's someone, I thought, jettisoning dance-floor purity for a uniquely open-armed musical hunger, unafraid to craft a record that flits from rock to techno to house to punk to pop to goopy New Age--in a good way. But the honeymoon was short-lived.
Animal Rights, Everything's follow-up, was a straight-ahead rock record. Cool, I remember thinking before hearing a note: He's confounded my expectations again. Thing is, Moby's not an especially good rocker. He can get it up all right in a pinch, but it's really forced. Even worse, the stuff is suffused with an obnoxious zeal that belies his outsider status. Still, I wasn't ready to write him off completely. Trying on new clothes is a sometimes painful process, I reasoned; let the model have his mood swings. But then there was Play, a bloated, yawn-inducing hunk of treacle that confirmed Moby's status as the Top 40's most shameless heartstring-puller. I have no problem being manipulated--I love it when Britney whines about how hard it is being famous while crossing her fingers behind her back, raking in another million--but I can't stand Hallmark Movies of the Week. Every time I hear "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad"--a title so earnest it hurts--I'm reminded that Moby doesn't know the first thing about subtlety, always taking the easy way out, letting another layer of synthesized strings do the talking for him.
I've never bought a Wyndham Hill sampler for a reason. I don't appreciate Moby's attempt to slip one by me.

Col. Chuck DeBellevue earned a Bachelors of Science in Physics from the University of Southwestern Louisiana and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the USAF in 1968. He attended Undergraduate Navigator Training and upgraded into the F-4.

While there, Chuck flew 220 combat missions, 96 of which were over North Vietnam and is credited with the destruction of six North Vietnamese jet fighters in aerial combat, four MiG-21s and two MiG-19s. Chuck is the leading "ACE" from the war in Southeast Asia.
He then attended Undergraduate Pilot Training and served in a number of squadron, staff and command positions including: commander 432nd Combat Support Group at Misawa Air Base, Japan and 95th Air Base Wing at Edwards AFB, CA, and the AFROTC Detachment at the Univ. of Missouri-Columbia.

Ryan Sickler
If the adage is true — that tragedy plus time equals comedy — then Ryan Sickler has paid his dues on the left side of the equation. Born in Baltimore, Ryan lost his father when he was 16. After that, he bounced from one relative to another. And while his early years might have seemed rocky, that tumultuous childhood gave him both fodder for material and armor against the relentless onslaught that is life as a standup comic.
His television appearances include The Pete Holmes Show, Comedy Central's Tosh.O, Live At Gotham, Cutman and The Late Late Show.
Beyond standup, Ryan Sickler is an engaging storyteller. You can catch him every Tuesday (Toozdee) on his podcast, The CrabFeast. Inspired by his hometown, the show celebrates the things Ryan loves most — storytelling, family, friends and laughter.
Jay Larson
With appearances on TOSH.0, The Late Late show, The Smoking Gun Presents, Conan and his own half hour special on Comedy Central Jay has come a long way since he moved to Los Angeles in 2000. After flunking out of college, then finally getting accepted back after many attempts, Jay threw away his diploma to pursue a career in Stand Up comedy. After living in a condemned house for 14 months, I mean who hasn't, Jay started opening for comedy greats such as Nick Swardson, Daniel Tosh and Pablo Fransisco. He soon became known as a comedian with a whacky, original voice who tends to get a little weird. Since those early days Jay has continued climbing the ranks with multiple TV appearances, many internet short films and his first album, "Self-Diagnosed". His voice continues to grow as he has delved into the world of interacting with strangers and creating conflict with people he doesn't know. Jay is a fantastic storyteller, showcased weekly on his podcast, "The Crabfeast" on Jay Mohr's Fake Mustache Studios. With TV projects in development, be sure to catch Jay now before he ignores everyone...forever...seriously...he will.

Nesco Roaster/Slow Cooker for $5???
Am I missing something, or is this as good as it sounds?
Sorry for the separate post, but I was hoping that those of you who already responded to my other post would take a look and tell me what you think.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nesco for $5
Yes, I know, I'm impatient. I was afraid I'd miss the deal, so I went ahead and ordered it. $5 + $7.95 shipping. Total $12.95. Just checked the link again to see if they sold them all (I think there were 11 available when I placed my order). There are still some left, but now the price is $102! Scared me, so I checked what I had been charged and sure enough I paid $12.95.
I'm still hoping it's a good roaster and I didn't get taken, even though it was only $12.95.
I wonder if it was an error that Amazon corrected after I placed my order.
Something strange is going on. After it went to $102 I waited a while and checked again and it had gone down to $99.95, then later up to $107 and now it is $99.95 again. What the heck? I'll bet I get a refund instead of a roaster. I'll let you know.
This morning I checked my Amazon account and the order has disappeared. I requested a rep at Amazon call me, which they did. The rep said that she could see the order and said that the seller had cancelled the transaction. Their contract states that they can cancel an order for any reason. She gave me contact info for the seller so that I could appeal to them myself. And to help relieve my great disappointment they gave me a $30 credit on my amazon account to be used whenever I wish. I've heard it said, and now I know it's true - Amazon's customer service is stellar.
Bryansda, that is exactly what I plan on doing. But now, I am going to do a bit more research and I have to decide how big a roaster I want. I know many here swear by their Nesco roasters, but some of them have gotten bad/mixed reviews. So now, I guess I'd like to know from those of you who have one, specifically which model you are in love with.
We had an after Thanksgiving turkey dinner at a friend's house and she had another brand of roaster that she cooked her 12 pound turkey in. Other than the fact that the skin didn't really brown, DH and I were really impressed with it. But DH never said anything to me about it until I told him about what happened yesterday. He said that he would love to have one. But I want to have one that I can love back, LOL.
Donna I have a Kenmore 18 qt and a Nesco, 6 qt Ivory with the porcelain cookwell. The Nesco I bought on walmart.com for $34 with free to the store shipping. I got the large one to bake a turkey in, but still haven't done a whole turkey yet. I have done 4 of the whole frozen boneless turkeys at once.
Donna I'm happy with both. I haven't used the 18 qt as much as the 6, but both have worked well for me. There are just the two of us at home now, so the 6 qt is what works here. I usually take the 18 on vacation with us when we're going to have all the kids (4 plus spouses) and grands (10) joining us.
Trust me, chas045, it was originally for the roaster at $5. I have had dialogue with someone from the company and he said that the person that posted all of their sales that day made serious errors and they were inundated with orders for products at impossible prices. And since they are a very small company (only 2 employees), they couldn't possibly fulfill those orders. The error has (obviously) been corrected.

A Call for Action Over Sudan's Horror
Published: June 23, 2004
To the Editor:
Re ''Sudan's Final Solution'' (column, June 19):
Thanks to Nicholas D. Kristof for his tireless reporting to remind the world of the continuing horror of ethnic cleansing in Sudan.
One hopes that it will not be long before the Khartoum government, pressured by the prayers and cries of concerned citizens around the world, puts a stop to the Janjaweed Arab militia's genocidal campaign.
As one who serves in loco parentis for several ''lost boys of Sudan'' relocated to the United States three years ago, I see daily the effect that the news from Sudan has on their psyches.
Despite the horrors that the past has visited on these young men, they remain ''people of hope.''
Let's not let the perpetrators of violence in Sudan take away the little hope that these ''lost boys'' have of one day being reunited with a loved one in Sudan.
Let's keep the pressure on our elected officials to keep the pressure on the Sudanese government to end the strife and chaos in that land.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
A new report commissioned by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce says the city's NHL franchise, the Blue Jackets, is losing around $12 million annually. Those losses have led to fears that the team might be sold and/or moved elsewhere. That would be a disaster for the Arena District says the top chamber official.
When the president of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce talks about the Arena District he describes its growth as nothing short of miraculous. Once home to the Ohio Penitentiary, Ty Marsh says the area has been transformed into a vibrant entertainment district with 170 businesses and 5,000 employees. Marsh says it's a major revenue producer for the city, the county and the state
"It is generating over $30 million a year that goes into our tax coffers of our government entities. We believe all that is the result of the catalyst of the Blue Jackets," Marsh says.
The chamber's findings are contained in a study conducted by Ohio State finance professor emeritus Stephen Buser. Buser says that at present the NHL team is hemorrhaging cash to the tune of $12 million a year. Part of that amount is rent that the Blue Jackets pay to lease Nationwide Arena. Buser says most other hockey teams have lease agreements more favorable to the team.
"The Blue Jackets have to pay a large amount of money to rent the arena and it's provided free of charge to most NHL Teams," Buser says.
There was talk several months ago about the sale of Nationwide Arena to Franklin County. The county would then negotiate better terms for the Jackets. Nothing has come of that plan. But some form of public / private partnership might be necessary to keep the Blue Jackets in Columbus.
"Columbus is sitting in the power seat right now. They've got a good position for retaining the Blue Jackets. But if they choose not to take action I'd personally be surprised if the Blue Jackets would decide to stick it out and continue to take these massive losses they've been incurring," Buser says.
The report lays out a range of possible options but does not make recommendations. However, Buser says the loss of the team would likely result in the loss of jobs and declining tax revenues.
"If we lose them I think it's going to be a real bad outcome financially," he says. "For the non-hockey people like myself, we're going to suffer because we're not going to have as much tax revenue coming in."
The chamber's Ty Marsh says the report should serve as an incentive to get community discussions started. But he says the matter must be settled quickly; by the end of the year if possible. "This again is not just about saving the team. It's about saving the catalyst for growth in that area and surrounding areas. They're generating a lot more business activity down there and we want to keep that growth and prosperity going," Marsh says.
In a statement acknowledging the value of the team, Mayor Michael Coleman said he would not divert city tax dollars away from basic services. But he called on the public and private sectors to search for options that would keep the Blue Jackets in Columbus. A more vaguely worded statement from the Franklin County Commission says it will take time and effort to determine what's best for Central Ohio during tight economic times.
