EZ Cam Widget
500 - 1,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By FuzzyBubble Media
The easy-to-use camera widget can be added to your main home screen, allowing you to quickly take a photo or begin recording a video mere seconds from getting it out of your pocket. A variety of settings can be configured after installation meaning the camera will always be ready to snap a picture just the way you want it.
The features include:
- Easy to use camera widget with buttons to capture an image, begin recording a video and a link to the main application.
- Choose from your camera's supported flash modes.
- Choose from your camera's supported photograph resolutions.
- Choose from your camera's supported focus modes.
- Ability to disable auto focus for a speed shot, or enable it for better quality images.
- Choose from your camera's supported scene modes.
- Choose from your camera's supported photograph effects.
- Choose from your camera's supported white balance settings.
- Enable video resolution override for certain devices where the automatic video settings are incorrect. * (See note below)
- Toggle video flash on/off
How to Install:
1. To display the widget on your homescreen, enter the menu and select Add or Personalize. Alternatively touch the screen and hold it until the menu appears.
2. Navigate to Widgets » EZ Cam Widget and it should now be displayed on your current homescreen.
3. Start the EZ Cam Widget application from your Applications menu or from the button on the widget and navigate to the Settings tab. Change the camera settings to suit your needs.
4. Tap the photo button on the widget to instantly take a snapshot, or use the video button to begin recording.
5. The saved videos and photos can be found in the 'EZ Cam Images' and 'EZ Cam Videos' folders on your SD card and are viewable in your gallery.
* Note: EZ Cam Widget automatically detects the devices highest video settings, however the method provided by Android to do this has proved slightly unreliable on certain devices. A few devices used while testing the application showed this problem, these were the Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire S. With all of these devices the override resolution option needs to be used to set a supported recording resolution (see the known issues section below).
Please be aware that the camera hardware is different for almost every device, this makes it difficult to create an application that is compatible with every Android phone. If you have any problems with the application please email us with a detailed explanation of your problem and the Android device you are using. We take any problems with our applications very seriously and will help you solve your problem as soon as possible.
Known Issues:
A few devices have known issues and can be solved by using the manual resolution override option. Here is a list of known fixes:
- HTC Desire S - Ensure a supported video resolution is selected and the manual resolution override option is enabled.
- HTC Desire HD - Video will work but will record at lower resolution, this can be set to 1280 x 720 manually.
- Samsung Galaxy S2 - Problem with recording video at high resolutions, ensure manual resolution is set (max. 720 x 480).

The Lite version worked fine. When I change any settings the widget force closes. but on the second time it will work there after but it is using default settings. I didn't want to use the flash so I go into the app settings and turn off flash and then try again, it force closes and then on a second try it works fine but still flashes. It will do this with any settings change. Please fix or refund

"An unconventional, elaborate glance at the mathematics behind the Advanced Encryption Standard, geared towards the non-mathematician."
I appreciate your interest in that article of mine. I'm currently working on the second part, which will introduce definitions for each of Rijndael's steps, as well as a brief description of the block cipher "class" it fits into. I'll conclude with an opinionated rant on why I believe cryptographic standards, such as the AES, make sense. By all means, I would be grateful for any constructive criticism, as well as suggestions for AES-centric aspects you'd like to see covered in the next installment. Essentially, I'm aiming at closing the gap between the cryptography discussed in the academic realm, and that of which the general media supplies to the average layman; this has led to an experimentally casual style of cryptographic writing which is all about keeping the reader's attention while telling them something informative about a ubiquitous subject, that they probably didn't know. Cheers, and thanks again.

Kigali — A former journalist with a local daily The New Times Mr. Elenues Akanga was detained in the UK and now waits for the verdict about his asylum claim due next week, RNA has established.
According to sources, Mr. Akanga was held in London last week for 24 hours immediately he had arrived but was later released pending trail. He was apparently given a lawyer that has been helping defend him.
"He is free now but under surveillance. If you want more information you can mail him. Am sure he will answer you with more details", the source said.
A verdict is up for mention on August 16 to determine whether he merits to be granted asylum in Britain.
An official with the British embassy in Kigali however said there has been no official information provided from the foreign office in London about the case.
"We have not been informed about such a case by the foreign office. So we have no comment as for the moment", the official said on phone.
Mr. Akanga worked with The New Times but was sacked following a story on the continued abuse of journalists. Source from the daily say he was assigned to do the story but was later blamed when content fell to the wrong side of the establishment.
He joined up with Mr. Sulah Nuwamanya and Julius Mwesigye to launch the now banned Weekly Post closed just a day after its first issue. The trio has since tried to lobby for the reopening of the paper to no success instead the idea is slowly dying away from public concern.
In a report 'Journalists in Exile' released in June, New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said nine Rwandan journalists have been forced out of the country to date, with Zimbabwe being the worst culprit having 48 scribes out of the troubled country.
Since 2001, when the campaign group started tracking exiled scribes, it recorded a total of 243 from 36 countries worldwide. More than half are reported to hail from just five: Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Colombia, and Uzbekistan.
The ten major culprits included; Zimbabwe (48), Ethiopia (34), Eritrea (19), Colombia (17), Uzbekistan (16), Haiti (14), Afghanistan, Liberia - (10), Rwanda (9), The Gambia (6) and Iran (5).
Rwandan journalists that have fled have gone mainly to the United States, The Netherlands, Sweden and Canada.
The common case of account in Rwanda came in 2004, when Didas Gasana - then a reporter with the Rwanda Independent Media Group (RIMEG) fled the country through Tanzania citing "harassment from the authorities".
Reports however have it that the UNHCR received him but declined him asylum after investigations revealed his reasons for fleeing were not founded. It was later discovered that he had actually disappeared with embezzled funds from his employer.
He has since returned and now works with the same company.

Skype Call Recorder
Shawn Powers shows us how to install and use Skype Call Recorder for Linux.
Nice Looking App
Although I don't use Skype to much any more, this looks like a Nice Program. I like that it's Open-Source and hope that it gets into the repositories soon (So much more secure then website downloading).
Noticed in the video while installing it, it said, "Licence Unknown".
I can't Find a licence on the site either.
Not a huge deal for me, as long as the Source is available.
But I hope they slap a licence (Hopefully a GPL of some sort) on there to protect the developers.
buddy, Skype _is_ in the

Batman? Robin? What about USB sticks? Well, thanks to Mimoco, you can have both in one awesome package. We spotted these newly released jump-drives at the International Toy Fair and we gotta say -- they're actually quite detailed in design. The flash drives will cost you a pretty penny if you want more storage -- a 2GB dongle is $20 while the 16GB version is $60. If you're a DC Comics junkie and think that the company has sold out, ask yourself this: why so serious?

I'm still trying to love roll top closure, but I still prefer zipper (call me old fashion). The pack itself is not bad design, but didn't also like the water bottle holders (can't reach while worn), and pen sleeve inside takes long time to reach out. Orange interrior is huge plus in the dark. Also, side zipper is seperate pocket, not connected like SPEAR20, so be aware. Overall I'm returing it, and stick with Axios25. Comfort level wasn't that great on SPEA either.
Roll top is great I thought it would be difficult but it's way better then zippers. the inside is bright orange and helps a lot in the dark. plenty of pockets on the inside and the loops on the outside come in handy. It holds a lot more then I thought it would and is perfect for work stuff or camping. I pulled all the supports out and it still feels good on my back.

Just downloaded libcurl and built it on Windows, using VC2008. It came with a project, I build it, a static library (release). I use it in my console win32 app, it does not link, unresolved symbols. So I do a dumpbin /exports on the libcurl.lib and nothing. Puzzling...
As part of the libcurl distro, there is a curl project that uses the libcurl.lib. It does not have any problems linking to the same lib.
Any ideas, what i am doing incorrectly?
Thanks Reza

This is one of the few shows that I really look forward to each year. It really is getting to be the same stuff every year, with few differences. I wish they would change up the lineup a bit more than they do. One of the few things that has me excited about this new season is actually one of the captains that no one mentioned yet. JR. I don't know what it is, but I am really becoming a fan of his. Neese can suck an egg. Keith blames all his shortcomings on his crew. I like Sig and Edgar, but their schtick is getting old. The Hillstrands are ok in my book. Seem like regular joes, but always seem like they are hopped up on coke.
It also showed they put almost a Million dollars into the boat in that overhaul.
replacing both main engines to not only give them more power but to also cut fuel consumption by 30% and give them a better overall range and or allow them to spend less on fuel.
Replacing both mains and both generators as well as completely gutting and rebuilding the engine room really showed a part of the boat that rarely gets seen and how much it takes to keep it going.
all tech support threads will now be answered with possibly random and false information.
This is due to the retardedness of posters and answering posters in general.
thank you, have a nice day.

Re: SUNDAY PREMIUM SERVICE PLAYS
Drew Gordon
1. 300,000♦ Pistons
2. 50,000♦ Cincinnati
3. 50,000♦ Michigan State
1. Pistons- Clearly, having Rip Hamilton back in the starting lineup instantly paid dividends, as the Pistons beat one of the East's elite, Orlando, in their last one! Looking for them to build off that winner this afternoon, as they face down another of the East's best in Boston today, and here's why:
First and foremost, do would need any more proof that the Iverson trade was a bust? He doesn't play, Hamiton starts, scored 31 points, and the Pistons defeat the Magic with ease Friday. Formula seems pretty simple, as the Pistons core always depended on Rip getting his minutes and his shots, and FINALLY we saw some positive results from this Pistons squad because of it!
Along with the obvious Hamilton factor, you have to believe the Pistons are ecstatic to end their losing streak, and will go "full-bore" this afternoon to keep it going. Celtics are pretty much on cruise control at this point, and fact is, Detroit has far more motivation in this match up. True, they've been garbage all month, but the tide is turning for this Pistons team, and NOW is the time to jump aboard.
Also, its tough to ignore the fact Kevin Garnett will be out Sunday. Needless to say, he's the heart of this Celtics defense, and was their best player in their last meeting, as he totally outplayed Wallace. Garnett led the team in scoring and limited Rasheed to a 5 of 16 shooting night, dooming the Pistons to the loss, but not this time around! Look for Wallace to eat up Glen Davis and Perkins, as he follows Hamilton's lead, and get back on track this afternoon.
Bottom line, the win over the Magic was HUGE for this Pistons team, and I fully expect them to build off that win today in Boston. Celtics are damn good, but they will miss Garnett in this match up, plain and simple. Boston still wins this game, but look for Detroit to keep it well within the number!
Take the Pistons plus the points over the Celtics as your top-rated play of the day.
2. Cincinnati- No doubt this is a tough match up for the Bearcats, but oddsmakers went a little to far in instilling the Orange as considerable favorites today at home. Look guys, I was impressed as anybody by Syracuse's 87-58 ass-kicking of the Red Storm in their last one, but let's not get carried away! Syracuse has been notoriously inconsistent this season, and with the Bearcats needing a win here, I'm happy to side with the road dog.
Herein lies the problem, as we all know the Orange can score plenty, but their defense leaves A LOT to be desired, allowing 81 ppg on 48% shooting over their last 5 games! Guys, you're not going to cover many games when you play that kind of "matador" defense, and the same hold true today. Cincinnati on the other hand, despite losing 2 of their last 3 (2 losses against the cream of the Big East crop), have tighened up defensively of late, allowing 68 ppg on 43% shooting over the same 5-game span!
Look guys, fact is the Bearcats have covered the last two meeting between these two schools, including an outright win in their last one! More of the same today, as the Cincy may not win outright, but they know how to play "Big East-style" basketball, and will keep this game close because of it! Just as West Virginia how good this Bearcats team is?!
Bottom line, the Bearcats need this win, even after upsetting West Virginia, sitting at 18 wins, there's no question this game is HUGE. Granted, that doesn't mean they'll win outright, but I just don't see them losing by nearly as much as Vegas wants you to believe this afternoon. Play on the Bearcats to keep it close!
Take Cincinnati plus the points over Syracuse in this college hoops match up.
3. Michigan State- Make no mistake, this game will be close, but I'll take the superior team, with the superior offense in this one! Obviously, I'm talking about the Spartans, who despite a poor effort a Purdue in their last roadie, have more than enough talent to take it to the Illini this afternoon.
First, Illini-backers may be cheering at the bargain price to back their team in this one, but sharp bettors know better! How many times do I have to tell you: "if it looks to good to be true, it probably is!" Fact is, the line on this contest begs you to side with the Illini, and I for one, am not taking the bait!
Much like their last meeting - a 63-57 Michigan State home win and cover back on January 17th - you can expect a hard-fought defensive battle between two very good Big Ten teams. And once again, the better offense will prevail, as the Illini have balance, but lack the go-to player they need when the baskets stop falling. Spartans Kalin Lucas is coming off a terrible game against Iowa, albeit in a win, and fully expect he'll bounce back strong today.
Finally, I just don't like what I've seen from this Illinois offense of late, averaging just 56 ppg over their last 5 games. True, their defense is great, and a big reason why they've been so effective at home, but so is the Spartans D, plain & simple! In the end, both teams are playing well, but Michigan State is the better team and it'll show in this match up.
Take Michigan State plus the points over Illinois in this college hoops match up.

15 Dime: MISSOURI (plus the points vs. Kansas)
10 Dime: TENNESSEE (plus the points vs. Florida)
The Missouri Tigers are freakin' legit, folks. They're 24-4 on the season, including 11-2 in Big 12 play, and they come into Lawrence, Kansas, today riding a seven-game wining streak (6-1 ATS). The only non-cover during the streak came in a 62-60 win over the Jayhawks as a five-point home favorite on Feb. 9, but that was essentially two games in one that night. Missouri came out way too wound up and/or way too nervous, and the result was a 30-16 halftime deficit. That's right: A team that averages better than 82 points per game on the season scored just 16 in the first 20 minutes that night against Kansas.
However, the Tigers found their way offensively in the second half and, along with a swarming defense, they kept battling and battling and eventually prevailed on a last-second basket. The confidence Missouri gained in pulling out that victory was immeasurable, as the Tigers have gone on to destroy their next three opponents – Nebraska (home), Colorado (road) and Kansas State (home) – by margins of 23, 13 and 20 points. And there's no doubt in my mind that – even though they're playing in an intimidating venue today against a very good Kansas basketball team – the Tigers will not be overcome by the moment this time around.
Clearly, the oddsmakers agree with me, hence this relatively short number – in fact, Kansas hasn't been favored at home by less than six points all season. All you have to do to understand that these teams are on equal footing is look at the statistics: Not only do these squads have near-identical overall and conference records, but going back to their first meeting in Missouri – a stretch of five games – both teams are averaging 74.8 ppg, with the Tigers allowing 60.4 ppg and the Jayhawks giving up 64.4 ppg.
Missouri is 3-1 SU and ATS as an underdog this season, including outright Big 12 upsets at Oklahoma State and Texas. In fact, the Tigers have won and covered three straight conference road games and four of the last five. Finally, this series has belonged to the underdog in recent years, with the pup cashing at a 10-4-2 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings.
Bottom line: Kansas has been cashing tickets better than any team in the country this season … and yet the Jayhawks are barely favored today on their home court, where they've won 17 of 18 games this season. Doesn't that raise a red flag to you? It does to me. Grab the points with Mizzou, and don't be surprised to see an outright upset!
The record book shows that Florida is 16-0 on its home court this season, including 6-0 in SEC home games. However, the ONLY quality opponent – and I'm talking an opponent that has a chance of playing in the NCAA Tournament – that the Gators have hosted in Gainesville is South Carolina, and the Gamecocks took Florida to the wire before losing 97-93 as a 7½-point underdog.
Florida comes into this game in a 3-4 SU and 2-5 ATS slump as it continues a repeat of last season when it started out strong and petered out down the stretch. Now, I admit that Tennessee hasn't been much better. The underachieving Vols have lost two of their last three (0-3 ATS) and they've split their last 16 games, going 5-11 ATS. However, one of the wins and covers during this slump came at the expense of Florida, a 79-63 Tennessee rout as a four-point home favorite a month ago.
Also, half of Tennessee's eight losses during their recent struggles have come against top-notch opponents Kansas, Gonzaga, Memphis and LSU, all ranked in the Top 25 right now, and the Vols were competitive in each of those defeats.
Back to this rivalry: It has been completely one-sided recently, with the Vols winning the last four meetings (4-0 ATS) and going 8-2 SU and ATS in the last 10 clashes – and this goes back to the days when Florida was winning back-to-back national championships. That tells me that Gators coach Bruce Pearl has figured out Florida's Billy Donovan.
Finally, Tennessee has cashed in seven of its last 10 as a road underdog and 10 of its last 14 as a road pup of less than seven points, and the Vols have covered in five of their last seven trips to Gainesville. At the same time, Florida is 6-15 ATS in its last 21 home games, 2-6 ATS in its last eight as a favorite of less than seven points and 0-5 ATS in its last five when laying less than seven at home. There's a ton of value today with Tennessee today, and we're jumping all over it!
Re: SUNDAY PREMIUM SERVICE PLAYS
Karl Garrett
Could this line be a trap?
Sure could, as I am not sure why the Golden Eagles are getting this many at Louisville today?
The underdog has covered 7 of the last 10 meetings, and then there is the fact the Golden Eagles have looked very, very bad the last few times they have faced the Cardinals.
Louisville has won the last 3 meetings, and they have pounded the Eagles in the last 2 meetings, winning by 14, and 20 points!
This will be the first meeting between the schools with Buzz Williams at the helm, and I firmly believe he will have a few "X's" and "O's" in place to keep his team close today at Freedom Hall.
Since their ugly loss at Notre Dame, the Cards have ripped off 4 straight wins, and covers.
The 'Ville may win again today, but it ain't coming by the required impost.
Take the points!
Hot vs. Hot today in Lawrence, but my money is on the Jayhawks to avenge 62-60 loss in Columbia back on Feb. 9th. The Jayhawks were catching 5 in that game, and did cover the impost. Today we find KU laying the 5, and while the dog in the series is on a 10-4-2 run the last 16, I am siding with the Rock-Chalkers to come through with the win and cover.
Mizzou has been unconscious of late, and after getting some major ink in SI this week, expect Mike Anderson's team to be cooled off at the Allen Field House, a site where the host is 17-1 straight up, and 9-2-1 against the spread.
This game should stay tight for a while, but with Kansas owning wins in 5 of the last 6 meetings, look for the Jayhawks to once again prevail both straight up, and against the spread.
KU to KO Mizzou!
Indy played strong covering at Boston on Friday, while Denver defended their home court on Friday, and held the Lakers to a season-low 79-points.
The Nuggets have won their last pair, and 5 of their last 8, and the G-Man suspects they will win again tonight at Conseco Field House.
Denver is a money-making 8-1 both straight up, and against the spread the last 9 times these teams have met. The Nuggets did win this season's first meeting 135-115, and while the margin should not be that large, the result should still be another Denver win, and cover.
No doubt Indy has been playing tough hoops of late, but in the end, this is just not enough points for the home dog.
Denver rolls to # 3 in a row both straight up, and against the spread.

20 Dime Oregon State
10 Dime Rockets
Oregon State at Oregon
OREGON STATE - There must be something in the water in that state because a year after Oregon State was wrapping up a horrible season, Oregon finds itself in the midst of a 7-20 SU season.
After 14 consecutive losses, the Ducks finally broke through and picked up their first SU win of 2009 by beating Stanford 68-60. Over their last 15 games the Ducks have covered only four times and have covered only twice in their last eight home games.
For the season Oregon is only 4-9 ATS at home this year and is getting outscored, on average, 75.6-70.4. Keep in mind, also, that the Ducks have covered in only eight of their last 28 games overall.
The Beavers, on the other hand, come into this game having covered in three straight games, winning each of those SU by an average of 8.3 points per game.
Also, the last time these two played, Oregon State beat Oregon SU 57-54 on Jan. 31.
Oregon State has been hot lately and will cover tonight against the Ducks. Take the Beavers on the road in this one.
Rockets at Timberwolves
ROCKETS - It might be hard to argue because of a few other teams, but at this point in the season the Minnesota Timberwolves might very well be the worst team in the entire NBA.
Minnesota is 18-40 SU this season and has lost five consecutive games SU and has only covered once in that five-game stretch and has only covered twice in its last 11 games overall.
Things don't get better at home as the Timberwolves have covered only once in front of the home fans in their last nine games in Minnesota and have gone 8-20-1 ATS overall at home this season.
Now the T-Wolves battle a Houston Rockets team that's covered in four of its last five games and is 5-0-1 ATS its last six games against Minnesota, including covers in two consecutive games against the Timberwolves.
The last time these two met, less than a month ago on Feb. 7, Houston got over easily on Minnesota, winning 107-90 as a 7 1/2 point favorite.
Tonight, the Rockets are laying about six points, depending on where you play this, and will get over easily on the Timberwolves. Take Houston on the road in this one.

400-Unit NBA Sunday Sizzler - CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
This is the third meeting this season between these two with the home team taking the first two, but we're looking for the Cavs to put out the same effort they gave on Friday at San Antonio. Play Cleveland tonight in Atlanta.
Cleveland has won six of the last eight matchups with the Hawks and gotten the cash in five of the last eight. The Cavs are 6-1 SU and ATS in their last seven overall and they just beat the Spurs Friday night 97-86 as four-point road favorites. They've won three of their last four roadies SU and ATS.
LeBron James is going to deliver a solid night every team he steps on the court, and as long as a couple of the supporting cast comes along this team is tough to beat. Delonte West had 17 points and seven rebounds against the Spurs and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Cleveland is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings in Atlanta and the favorite is riding a 16-6 ATS streak in this series.
The Cavs are also riding ATS streaks of 19-9 against teams with a winning record, 43-19 overall, 5-2 against the Eastern Conference and 4-1 after a spread-cover. Atlanta is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven Sunday games and 2-5 ATS in its last seven against teams with a winning record.
Look for the Cavs to walk away with this one.
100-Unit NBA Slam Dunk - PHOENIX SUNS
The Lakers have owned this series lately, but don't think the Suns aren't going to come out fighting today in this nationally televised contest. Phoenix has been playing better lately and they'll deliver a surprise for the Lakers today.
The Suns are 5-2 SU and ATS in their last seven overall and they are coming off a 133-113 victory over the Raptors on Friday, easily cashing as 3 1/2-point home favorites. Shaquille O'Neal had his best game in six years, getting 45 points against Toronto.
Alvin Gentry has the Suns playing better and Friday they had all five starters in double-digits and bench player Louis Amundsen had his career high 20 points in the win.
The Lakers stumbled on Friday night in Denver, losing 90-79 as a two-point road chalk. it was the first time in six games they didn't reach at least 107 points, and it came the night after they put up 132 against these Suns in Los Angeles.
The lone matchup between these two in Phoenix this season came back on Nov. 20 when the Lakers got a 105-92 victory.
The Lakers are on ATS slides of 4-9 after a straight-up loss, 7-17 when getting one day off and 1-4 after losing a game by more than 10 points.
Meanwhile the red-hot Suns are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven at home and 5-2 ATS overall. If Shaq is feeling inspired like he was at home Friday night against Toronto. Play the Suns at home!

What is it?
The car to lend its shape to Jeremy's favourite M car of recent years - the 1-Series M. Alas, that's no more. Luckily, the rest of the range is almost as brilliant. The ride could be more comfortable, but the 123d is a fantastic real world car.
For 75 per cent of the time the 1-Series Coupe is pure BMW: nice steering, proper rear-wheel drive feel and a proper antidote to FWD hot hatchery. But start to really push and the lack of a locking rear diff can start to show (as per many BMWs) as the inside wheel spins away the power. Mind you, the traction and stability systems still get a relatively light workout - this is a nicely balanced, well-sorted car.
Run-flat tyres are the bugbear of many already fairly taut BMWs, and the 1-Series Coupe is no different. Unfortunately, not being blessed with Germanic levels of road repair, British buyers feel every pothole right in the colon. Can be a touch stiff for serious long distance cruising, though you do get used to it fairly quickly.
The Coupe One comes with six engine choices - three diesels and three petrol. There's the ultra-frugal 118d (a 2-litre) with 143bhp, the perfectly rapid 120d (the same 2.0-litre) with 177bhp, 142mph and the confusingly titled 123d - a 2-litre twin-turbo with 204bhp, 147mph top speed and a seven second 0-62mph time. All Golf GTI owners just winced at that one. Petrols come in 120i and 125i four and six-pot flavours. And if you don't want to just beat hot hatches but humiliate them, there's the 135i. Three litres and two sequential turbos that spell 306bhp, a limited 155mph top end and 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds. Quick, and discreet with it.
On the inside
It's basically the same layout as the boggo 1-Series from the driver's seat, so it's fine, if not the best that BMW have on offer. All the materials feel of decent quality and there's nothing iffy about the build, but it's simple rather than striking, solid rather than showy.
You bought this for the boot then? Well 370-litres is okay (ish), but the hatch is way more practical. There's plenty of room for the front seat passengers, rear travellers fair less well, as in die fast and cruelly. Weirdly, the inch chop on the Coupe compared to the stock 1-Series makes it's presence felt quickly in space terms. An inch. Who'd have thought it?
Both the diesels make good sense financially; you'll get mid-fifties mpg out of the 123d (that's good) and nearer 60mpg out of the 120d apparently (that's spectacular). The tax and C02 burden runs to 128g/km and 10-percent on the single turbo, 138g/km and 15 percent on the biturbo diesel. The 135i? It pumps out 220g/km and 32-percent, insurance group 17 (not bad considering the performance), but forget the claimed 30.7mpg unless you drive like a nancy of the highest order.

IBEROSTAR Bávaro Suites
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Bávaro Suites
John says: about 1 year
"This was our first time at Iberostar Bavaro and we enjoyed our time at the resort. The entertainment in the evening was delightful for the kids (except I would recommend eliminating the Michael Jackson show, it was pretty awful but I do give the dancers an A for effort). The food was fantastic and there was plenty of healthy options for those trying to "be good" on vacation. The rooms were just right and the house keeper was pleasant and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. We took advantage of a few of the free activities and I was impressed with the number of colorful fish we watched while snorkeling close to shore. We took advantage of booking a few offsite activities which were fun but we felt like we got taken advantage of on the price. I would try to book ahead or shop around for better prices. Great vacation!!!"Rating: 9,0

Fun in the sun!!
"We having been staying at iberostar hotels for 7 years and truly enjoy them. However, in the last two years we have found that it is difficult to find tiki huts/chaise lounges on the beach that have not been reserved by tourists covering up areas with their towels & then leaving them there for hours before they return to the beach. Something needs to be done about this situation. We had to be down at the beach by 7:00 a.m. in order to find an available place to sit, sun bathe, and lounge. They need to start patrolling this, & if no one is there then the personnel should remove the towels & let someone else use the area. We saw many tourists who didn't come back to the beach for many hours after saving their places. We also saw many people who walked down to the beach & left because they could not find anywhere to sit. This is no right & should be taken care of immediately. After all we vacation on an island in order to enjoy the ocean & beach. After discussing this problem with other tourists, we all agree that the resort will lose alot of our business it this reserving problem continues!!!!! However, I do believe that once you have found your hut & chairs that you should be able to enjoy them the rest of the day even while going up for lunch/bathroom breaks, etc."Rating: 9,0

In Photoshop CS5 New Features, author Jan Kabili introduces new features and productivity enhancements that include reshaping images with Puppet Warp, turning photographs into paintings, and Content-Aware Fill options. The course examines CS5 enhancements to existing features include significant improvements to High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo processing, selection and mask edge refinement, and lens-related photo corrections. A brief overview of companion applications, Adobe Bridge CS5 and Adobe Camera Raw 6, is included. Exercise files are included with the course.
Camera Raw 6, which comes with Photoshop CS5, includes a brand-new feature that allows you to add natural film style grain to a photo. In the past, adding grain was something that you could do only inside of Photoshop using a combination of features that you just had to know one of those secret handshakes. Now with the addition of the grain feature in Camera Raw 6, you have a choice. To show you the grain feature, I am going to open an image into Camera Raw that is not a raw image but rather a JPEG. You can do this with a raw image but I like this JPEG because I have sepia toned it and I had to go out of Camera Raw to do that.
So to open a JPEG into Camera Raw, either in Mini Bridge or in the standalone Bridge CS5, I am going to right-click on the thumbnail of the image and I am going to choose Open in Camera Raw. So yes there is a JPEG open in Camera Raw 6 so that I can use any of the features here in Camera Raw to adjust it. I am going to go to a new tab in Camera Raw 6, the Effects tab and there I'll find the Grain sliders. To get a true sense of how the grain will look on this image, I am going to make sure that it is set to 100% view.
Then I will go over to the controls and I am going to start with the Amount control. As soon as I move that the tiniest bit, the Size and Roughness controls come into view. The Amount control determines how much grain I'm going to add to the image. The further I go to the right, the more grain I start to see inside of the image. As I pull the Amount slider to the right, I start to see more and more grain in the image. I am going to take that back a bit. I think that's a little too much for this image. Then I will move down to the other sliders.
Then I'll fine-tune the grain in the image using the Size and Roughness sliders. The Size slider controls how fine each piece of grain is. As I drag to the right, the grain starts to be a little blurrier looking. So I am going to take that back until it looks just right to me, about there. And then there is the Roughness slider. The Roughness slider is kind of like a contrast setting. At low numbers, you can see that the grain is very contrasting and shows up very well. If I want a little less obvious grain, I will drag the Roughness slider to the right until the grain is more subtle and to my liking.
Now if I have other similar photos that I would like to apply the same grain settings to, I can save these as a preset. To do that I will go to this panel menu on the Effects tab and I will choose Save Settings. Here I can choose which settings I want to save. I don't need to save all of them. So I am going to go into the Subset menu and I am going to choose Details. And then I'll uncheck everything except Grain, and I will click save. I can give this a name. So I could call this sepia grain and I will click Save.
Then with any image open, I can come back to that menu, choose Load Settings and go find my sepia grain settings. So why would I want to add grain to a photo? Several reasons come to mind. As you see it here, grain can be used to add a sort of an historical look to a photo, particularly a black and white or sepia toned photo. Another reason to add grain is to simulate a particular grainy film stock from back in the days of traditional film. And if your attempts to control noise reduction had made a photo look too smooth, then adding a little grain can bring back some truth and texture to the photo.
So Grain is a nice little additive effect for you play with in Adobe Camera Raw 6.

atem Ben Arfa ended Newcastle\'s wait for a Premier League goal after 411 minutes to clinch a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
England: Hatem Ben Arfa ended Newcastle's wait for a Premier League goal after 411 minutes to clinch a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
The France winger cut in from the right and weaved through the defense before shooting past goalkeeper David Stockdale in the 86th minute.
Not only did he claim Newcastle's first league win of the season, but scored his team's first goal since the penultimate game of last season.
The northeast club have four points from their opening three matches, while Fulham have three.
In the other match, Nathan Redmond scored in the second half to give Norwich a 1-0 win over Southampton for the team's first victory of the season.
In a frenetic, end-to-end clash at a sold-out Carrow Road, both teams had what seemed like a clear penalty denied and the hosts' 19-year-old winger proved the difference as he capped a fine performance with the winner.
Redmond's pace often had Southampton on the back foot and he scored the decisive goal in the 68th minute by cutting in from the left to unleash a fierce drive from the edge of the box.
Southampton could have been ahead in the first half when Bradley Johnson clearly handled an Adam Lallana strike in front of Howard Webb, but the referee waved away those claims. Webb then also waved off Norwich's appeals in stoppage time when Robert Snodgrass was brought down in the area by Jose Fonte.

Mets Non-Tender Valdespin, Hefner, Atchison, Quintanilla And Turner
The Mets did not offer contracts to pitchers Jeremy Hefner and Scott Atchison, infielders Omar Quintanilla and Justin Turner, and utility man Jordany Valdespin, making the five free agents.
Report: Mets Reach Out To Free-Agent Shortstop Rafael Furcal
As far as free agents go, Stephen Drew and Jhonny Peralta are the cream of the shortstop crop, but they will be in heavy demand and will likely command top dollar. A cheaper option is 36-year-old Rafael Furcal.
Mets Looking Forward To Expanded Replay Following Controversial Loss
"It's tough," Niese said. "Obviously (if) we were playing next year we wouldn't be in that situation. That's the beauty of replay and how necessary it is. It is what it is. (Layne) made the call, and we just got to get over it and come back after the off-day."

Ike Davis will probably be sent down to Triple-A, but there are plenty of culprits to share the blame.
Kallet: Mets Need To Think Long And Hard About What To Do With Ike Davis
I sincerely hope Davis proves me wrong and suddenly finds his stroke. I hope he can be the .270, 40-homer guy that we all envisioned him being. But I just don't see that ever coming to fruition. And sooner or later, the Mets will have to make a decision about their first baseman.

Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Saturday blamed Raj Thackeray—led MNS for his party candidate's defeat in Maharashtra Council polls.
Alleging that MNS took money to vote the ruling party backed fourth candidate, Mr. Thackeray termed the party as 'Dhanase' (a pun on its acronym Manase).
"All the 13 votes of 'Dhanase' were given to fourth candidate of Congress Vijay Sawant in lieu of money, creating problem to Sena which is fighting for the cause of Marathi people," he said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece Saamana on Saturday.
Rubbishing Chief Minister Ashok Chavan's remarks that Congress has nothing to do with Sawant, Mr. Thackeray said, "how come Congress-NCP's second preference votes and 13 MNS votes were given to Sawant".
In fact, NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and Rural Development Minister Jayant Patil confessed that their party candidates won with the help of MNS, he said.
The Sena Chief also hit out at Congress for taking help from MNS in the polls. "On one hand Congress criticises parties like MNS terming them anti-Hindi and on the other, takes help from MNS and SP leader Abu Azmi during polls," he said.

New Research Reports on Interventions that May Alter the Course of Epilepsy Diagnosis and Management
Data to be Presented at 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society
Early diagnosis and treatment that quickly achieves seizure freedom with nominal side effects is the key goal to epilepsy management. Three studies highlighted at the AES annual meeting address this goal from different vantage points:
- The course to seizure freedom? Identifying factors that may change the landscape of epilepsy treatment to improve patients' quality of life.
- New EEG technology that may facilitate accurate seizure screening by non-specialists in urgent care settings.
- Task force report on disparity in standards for Epilepsy Monitoring Units amidst rise in number of epilepsy treatment centers.
"Each clue we uncover in understanding epilepsy and how to suppress the disruptions it causes for those affected takes us closer to the goal of successfully treating this chronic condition. Data from this year's meeting lead us towards answers about characteristics we can focus on to more effectively diagnose and treat epilepsy," said
Epilepsy Patients Achieving Seizure Freedom More Quickly, According to New Analysis
An analysis of epilepsy patients demonstrated that the time to seizure freedom significantly decreased by 10% every year from 1995 to 2005, according to data presented by
Dr. Peltola and his colleagues studied records of 571 epilepsy patients aged nine to 78 years, who were diagnosed and treated in
- Patients diagnosed in 1995-1998: 10 years.
- Patients diagnosed in 1999-2001: 6 to 7 years.
- Patients diagnosed in 2002-2005: 4 years.
"The first-line treatment protocol has not changed over the duration of this study in
New EEG Technology — a Seizure Vector Algorithm — Facilitates Seizure Screening in Urgent Care Settings
A group of researchers from Infinite Biomedical Technologies (IBT) and The
"Access to an EEG reading, the gold standard for identifying and classifying seizures, is limited in most urgent care settings. Often the EEG machine and/or technologists are not readily available to the Emergency Department (ED), and eventual diagnosis by a specialist may be delayed for hours, or in some cases days," said study author Peter W. Kaplan, MB, FRCP, Professor of Neurology, The
To address this problem, the collaborative team, with grant support from the National Institutes of Health, designed the Seizure Vector (SV) algorithm to express EEG readings as a numeric seizure score. Based on the score, ED staff could quickly classify and triage patients. Potential classifications include:
- Epileptic seizures: refer to a neurologist for further evaluation.
- Non-epileptic events: refer for neurological, medical or psychiatric evaluation.
The team's hope is that this technology, when used in the ED setting, will enable first-response personnel to screen for seizures in patients and make rapid triage decisions, such as timely referral to a specialist for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
To validate the algorithm, researchers collected EEGs from 40 adults with a variety of seizure types, and a blinded epileptologist classified them into "normal" or "seizure" categories. A total of 2,035 episodes of seizures and 3,867 episodes of normal data were recorded. When the SV algorithm was applied to the same recordings, it differentiated between "seizure" and "normal" episodes with 95.0% sensitivity and 95.2% specificity.
Surveys Reveal Lack of Consensus on Patient Care, Safety Measures in Epilepsy Monitoring Units
A new AES survey of physicians and nurses provided the basis for a working group discussion at this week's meeting regarding a need for the creation of standards in patient care and safety measures in epilepsy monitoring units (EMUs) across
Patients are admitted to EMUs to determine if they are having seizures, to consider if surgery is an option, for medication changes, or other diagnostic procedures. Some of the monitoring procedures require sleep deprivation and/or taking patients off medications to provoke seizures for simultaneous recording of symptoms and related brain wave activity.
The surveys evaluated EMU practices related to these monitoring procedures, as well as patient supervision. Results revealed discrepancies across EMUs in these areas, with relatively few physicians and nurses reporting that their facilities had protocols in place for seizure monitoring or patient supervision.
"In the continuum of patient care, EMUs are critically important and can significantly drive outcomes," said EMU Study Group member

negotiated provide both a local and a global perspective by which to consider environmental health.
Although there clearly is an interdependence between public health and the environment, workshop participants noted that we have limited resources for identifying and understanding challenges to health or implementing intervention strategies. Some of the higher-order issues, such as sustainability, must be addressed if we are to achieve better health, noted Rafe Pomerance. Another central quandary is the reduction and disposition of waste. We cannot continue to have consumption that outweighs the production capacity of our ecosystems, and we cannot continue to produce waste at a rate that outweighs our ability to assimilate it back into the ecosystems without negative impacts, said William McDonough.
A second challenge is to develop baseline data on different environmental stressors. Impacts of a poor environment on public health can be direct or indirect. Speakers noted that we have tended historically to focus on the direct effects of pollution on public health—for example, toxicity or adverse health effects—and less on the bioindicators that can measure direct and indirect effects through impacts on ecological systems.
To meet these challenges, several workshop participants stated that we need to develop more holistic and integrated approaches to environmental health that incorporate considerations of human biological and ecological health and achieve better understanding of these interrelationships. The systems view of the ecologist must be adopted as a new paradigm for the environmental health scientist.

View from the turtle during batting practice at this year's MLB Futures Game during All Star Weekend.
The Baseball Prospectus prospect team is constantly on the road, getting eyes on the top talent throughout baseball -- from the amateur ranks up through the majors. Moving forward I'll be working to bring you inside my travels (hopefully with contributions from others on the prospect team), including pictures and video. There will be a lot of baseball and some broader travel stuff if I think you might find it interesting.

Notes on prospects who stood out this weekend, plus an obligatory Gregory Polanco update.
Friday, May 16
Miles Head, 1B, A's (Midland, AA): 3-4, R, HR. Head is struggling once again, now in his third go-round in Double-A. It was already a tough profile as a right-handed-hitting first baseman, but Head's power outage is enough to diminish his status as a prospect. For what it's worth, Head also homered again on Sunday.

Mookie Betts, Travis d'Arnaud, and Jorge Soler are among those who came off the board between picks 29 and 56.
In the first episode of the BP Mock Expert Draft, we went over the backstory and parameters of this draft, so there's no need to rehash that here. Plus I know you're all just going to skip past the intro anyway to see who else got picked and when. Sometimes you just have to give the people what they want.
So, without any further ado, here are the next two rounds (three and four) of the Baseball Prospectus Expert Mock Prospect Draft with analysis from the participants themselves:

Notes on 12 prospects, including Reds lefty Ismael Guillon and Dodgers infielder Corey Seager, who slugged two home runs.
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Ismael Guillon, LHP, Reds (Low-A Dayton): 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K. Guillon had been scuffling in 2013, but he turned it around last night. He features a plus fastball and changeup. Guillon's command this season has been poor, to put it bluntly, and he looks destined for the bullpen.
Position Prospect of the Day: Corey Seager, SS, Dodgers (Low-A Great Lakes): 3-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 5 RBI. I recently spoke with a scout who feels that Seager has a chance to hit and hit for power, but thinks that he is a third baseman all the way. If Seager is forced to slide to third, that would put more pressure on the bat, but he should hit enough to make that irrelevant.

Dodgers Low-A shortstop Corey Seager slugged two homers on Friday, kicking off a weekend with tons of exciting prospect action.
Games of Friday, June 21
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Kyle Crick, RHP, Giants (High-A San Jose): 4.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 K. Crick entered the year as the Giants' top prospect. He excelled in his return from the disabled list. Crick uses a potentially plus-plus fastball, an easy plus curveball, and a solid-average cutter. He has an athletic delivery and a front-of-the-rotation ceiling.

The Dodgers have plenty of questions marks in the system, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to pay attention to.
