Between "Portlandia" and "Saturday Night Live," I don't have a lot of time off. When I do get to see a live music show, there's one Brooklyn-based I'll follow anywhere.VIDEO
I am an art gallery hopper. I could spend an entire weekend working the shows.
I recently met an inspirational public school teacher who brings Broadway theater into the classroom in really exciting ways.
They say there are 8 million stories in the city. At this event, at least of 10 of them are guaranteed to be incredible -- and you can participate.
I was there for a party ages ago and I just remember saying to my wife: "Wow, what a weird place."
It offers a great and affordable way to expose children to culture and the arts in a way that is both entertaining and educational.
It's one of my favorite places to hear music and there's always a good chance you'll spot a celebrity.
It's spin class meets upper body workout meets '80s dance party and it's totally exhausting.
When I think about New York, I always think about the city that I knew as a Brooklyn kid in the '60s and '70s: the dangerous New York.VIDEO
It's an afternoon dedicated to the legacy of Dr. King and the ongoing fight for equal education.

SPECTACULAR EFFORT: Gurminder Singh of Police on his way to winning the +105kg gold. Photo: R.V. Moorthy
YAMUNA NAGAR: Services men pushed Railways off the track while Andhra women maintained their sway as the two teams won team championships at the 58th men's and 21st women's National weightlifting championship here on Thursday.
Services lifters kept to the plan in the two heavyweight categories on the final day of the championship, while Railways' over-exuberance cost it heavily.
Maharashtra took advantage of the situation and edged ahead of the defending champion Railways.
Andhra pips Manipur
In the women's section, Andhra Pradesh, with 518 points, just about defended its title. Manipur (514) nevertheless showed it had a mine of women lifters despite institutional teams taking away the best of the lot. Police came third with 453 points.
Men's super heavyweight class brought curtains down on the five-day championship that saw just one new National record being set.
Police's Gurminder Singh tried a swipe at the oldest standing men's record of Dalvir Singh, but ended twitching his back when he hauled up 203kg in jerk.
In the plus 105kg, Gurminder cleared 190kg in his first attempt in jerk, but increased the weight to 203kg. Dalvir's record of 202.5 was set in 1999 at the Manipur National Games in Imphal.
Gurminder held the weight on his chest for a while but when he went for the jerk he ended twisting his back before dropping the load. He decided it was risky going for the third attempt.
Having lifted 150kg in snatch, Gurminder tied with Maharashtra's Samsher Singh on 340kg total, but his lower bodyweight, 113.05kg against 125.2kg, earned him the gold medal.
Services' G. Damodaran, who won in jerk by virtue of his lower bodyweight than Gurminder's, took the bronze with a total of 330kg.
Railways' plans go awry
In the men's 105kg, Railways' calculations went wrong when Sanjeev Nehra failed to clear any weight in jerk.
Nehra won the snatch with a lift of 146kg, but failed all three attempts with 168kg in jerk.
Madhya Pradesh's Bhagat Singh, who saved his best for jerk after finishing fourth in snatch with 140kg, took the overall gold with a total of 315kg. Jammu and Kashmir's Kulwinder Singh won silver with 310kg while S. K. Mawai (303) of Services took the bronze medal.
Commonwealth championship gold medallist, Geeta Rani of Police, won the women's plus 75kg class with a total lift of 228kg. Geeta, who topped snatch with 96kg, won the overall gold ahead of Romi Devi (201kg) of Haryana.
Arunachal Pradesh's R. Edwin, who won men's 56kg class beating international Vicky Batta, and Andhra Pradesh's Shailaja Pujari, the winner of women's 75kg category, were declared best lifters of the championship.
The results (read as snatch, clean and jerk, total):
105kg: 1. Bhagat Singh (MP) (140, 175) 315, 2. Kulwinder Singh (J and K) (141, 169) 310, 3. S. K. Mawai (Ser) (136, 167) 303.
Plus 105kg: 1. Gurminder Singh (Pol) (150, 190) 340, 2. Samsher Singh (Mah) (155, 185) 340, 3. G. Damodaran (Ser) (140, 190) 330.
Plus 75kg: 1. Geeta Rani (Pol) (96, 132) 228, 2. Romi Devi (Har) (86, 115) 201, 3. Sonia Prabha (Pun) (90, 90) 180.
Team championship:
Men: 1. Services 599 pts, 2. Maharashtra 478, 3. Railways 471.
Best lifter: R. Edwin (Arn)
Women: 1. Andhra Pradesh 518 pts, 2. Manipur 514, 3. Police 453.
Best Lifter: Shailaja Pujari (AP)

Wasatch Front Regional MLS to Debut New, Improved Version in '09
By Rattle, Barbara
The Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service is in the process of developing a new and improved MLS, which provides services to approximately 15,000 real estate professionals across Utah.
Dubbed Metis – the first spouse of the ancient Greek god Zeus and a personification of wisdom and advice – the new MLS is slated to debut next year. A committee of 13 industry professionals overseeing the MLS redesign has met two times and will continue to meet every other Thursday until the project is complete, said Rebecca Jensen, Wasatch Front Regional MLS president.
"Basically our customers are the ones that are driving all of the features and all of the priorities on this project," she said. "The committee defines what it is the software needs to do and sets priorities, so we're working on the most important things first. Our in-house developers, during that two-week period between meetings, mock it up and do a prototype and present it back to the user group and the user groups either passes off on it and says yes or they say no and add more detail and modify it a little bit. It's in beta version and we have a forum up. They can also e-mail us. We're trying to involve the users as much as we possibly can in this project to make it more successful."
Wasatch Front Regional MLS has hired Sarah Kelly to broaden subscribers' awareness of the Metis project and to encourage their participation in its development.
The original MLS was created in-house approximately eight years ago. While it has been continuously enhanced, Jensen said, subscribers have indicated the underlying database is inadequate. While the MLS currently has a two-page listing input sheet, the firm has received a number of requests for the addition of different fields so that both home-shoppers and real estate agents can look for homes with a number of currently unlisted characteristics such as telecommunications capabilities (DSL, cable, etc.), accessibility for the handicapped and "green" elements such as xeriscaping, LEED certification and EnergyStar-rated appliancees.
In addition, Metis will incorporate a number of Web 2.0 features, Jensen said. Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of Web sites to a full-fledged computing platform serving Web applications to end users. It refers to a second-generation of Internet-based services such as social networking sites, wilds, communication tools and folksonomies that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users.
When Metis is launched will depend entirely on its users, Jensen said.
"Since we developed the last one we're under no license agreement or expiration date so the release will be 100 percent based upon our customers and if we feel they're ready and trained and they're satisfied with the new system," she said. "Then we'll cut over. Right now the system updates the data every 15 minutes; we do not allow people to input data into the new system yet because it's not compatible with the old one. But we will reach a cutoff date when we don't let any new data into the old system, but we don't have that date set."
While the Wasatch Front Regional MLS has not yet completed its 2009 budget, Jensen said she does not foresee fee increases as a result of Metis. Currently, MLS users who pay on a monthly basis are charged $25 per month. Those who prepay for a year pay $21 monthly.
"We're one of the most competitive MLSs on price," Jens said. "A lot of that, again, is because we do a lot in house."
The Wasatch Front Regional MLS is a for-profit corporation established through a corporate agreement between the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, Weber/North Davis Association of Realtors and the Utah County Association of Realtors.

Today I discovered that the Splash Mountain drop is the same length as the first Pirates of the Caribbean one. I do realize that the Splash Mountain one is quite steeper. But it made me wonder just how big the second Splash Mountain drop actually is in comparison to the final one. It's quite dark so you can't really tell how far it is that you're dropping, but it feels almost the same length as the last one.
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how long it is and the angle.

It wants donors to avoid laying down tough conditionalities
India will suggest a more humane approach to dealing with Afghanistan's under-development when the international community gathers for a brainstorming session in Tokyo on Sunday.
Armed with recommendations of a first-ever meeting of countries and companies hosted in New Delhi last month on investment issues in Afghanistan, the Indian delegation will want to seek the Tokyo outcome document to heed some of the points made by the Delhi Investment Summit.
The New Delhi meeting, bulk of whose attendance was from countries and companies from around the region, felt the international community should look at companies following some corporate social responsibility norms when in Afghanistan.
It also wanted donors to avoid the temptation of laying down tough conditionalities. "The desire of donor countries to see their tax-dollars utilised with integrity and efficiency should be balanced against the reality that optimal benchmarks are difficult to achieve in a conflict situation," informed sources said.
"Good governance is crucial to the building of a strong and legitimate state. But good governance also requires a strong state that has full control over its territory," the sources said while outlining the dilemma facing governments that wished to help Afghanistan.
Another area of emphasis for the Indian team in Tokyo will be the regional dimensions of terrorism, including safe havens. India believes that Afghanistan " continues to be a country that faces an existential threat from terrorism emanating from beyond its borders — a threat that it is fighting every day, and that it is ill-equipped to repel" in the absence of substantial assistance from the international community. The international community's continued assistance is therefore essential.
India will also draw attention to the need for incentives and additional instruments to bolster the confidence of corporates stepping into a relatively high risk market.
On the fiscal side, countries could consider suitable incentive schemes for investing in Afghanistan.
In addition, the international community could explore the possibility of providing adequate insurance covers and guarantees to promote trade and investment.
"Although security conditions have improved tremendously in Afghanistan, challenges remain. In this context risk mitigation and investment protection will be a key requirement to make Afghanistan an attractive destination for foreign investment," said the sources.

What do you say to someone who is diagnosed with cancer, outlook grim? I'm a nurse and often work with cancer patients.
I am a cancer colorectal survivor and I think it is key to be genuine and concerned. A newly diagnosed person is still working through denial and will only be hearing a small amount of what you are saying. If I could give one special thing you can do, it would be to give them contact info to ask you questions later. but only if you have the energy to follow up. The people I still count as friends are the ones who left the door open for me. I could list a stream of facts about how treatments are making people live longer but that is not often the comfort being sought. the medical community is great at prolonging the quantity of life without listening to the patients wishes about the quality of life. Thanks for asking the question, many don't consider the patients feelings well.
It seems like your doing pretty good,just answer question sif they have any,or just be there to support them if possible!
My mom and dad both died of cancer. They both told me that they didn't need me to SAY anything. The important thing was that they NEEDED to be able to talk about it. Most people didn't want to hear what they were thinking or feeling. Everyone was trying so hard to say something encouraging and all they wanted was to talk; not be told how a cure is just around the corner.....yadayadayada.
all I know is I wouldn't want my last moments of my life of people feeling sorry for me or being depressed around me or towards me.

how would you want to be treated?
there you go. all you can do really. :]
Honestly, there is not a "right thing" to say to someone who is going through something like that. Especially if you have not gone through it. I would just tell them that you are sorry and that you are there for them if they need anything. Support is the most important thing, often when people have cancer they feel alone. Do whatever you can to help them not feel completely alone.
There's no one right thing to say to someone in that situation. Sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all.

Gun Safety Activists Plan to Rally at Statehouse
July 22nd, 2014
BOSTON (AP) — Police chiefs are joining with gun safety activists to press lawmakers to give them discretion over issuing firearms identification cards needed to buy rifles or shotguns.
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis and Oak Bluffs Police Chief Erik Blake — president of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association — are planning to rally at the Statehouse Tuesday morning.
The police chiefs and activists including John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence, are criticizing the Massachusetts Senate for stripping the FID provision out of the House version of the bill.
Gun rights activists — including the National Rifle Association and Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League — praised the Senate action.
It's up to a six-member House and Senate conference committee to hammer out a single, compromise bill.

After battling out Bollywood heroes Hrithik Roshan (Jodha Akbar), Salman Khan (Dabangg 2) among others on screen, Nikitin Dheer will now be seen giving tagdi takkar to the Badshah Shah Rukh Khan in an upcoming film. The actor has bagged the role of the baddie in Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express and those who've seen Nikitin in the portions shot so far insist that the actor's rippling frame will be one of the highlights.
"Nikitin has one of the best bodies in B-Town. In fact, he even looks convincing taking on action heroes like Hrithik or Salman in films, which is why he is fast becoming a preferred choice for the baddie roles. He has the perfect physique to carry off the villainous acts and really seems like someone who could give a fight to the heroes," says an insider.
Having starred in films like Mission Istanbul and Ready, Nikitin has come a long way in a short span of time. "He is an industry kid (Nikitin's father is well-known actor Pankaj Dheer) but he believes in his work doing the talking instead of the name," shares a source.
The source adds that for his role in Chennai Express, Nikitin has been given a brief to put on more bulk and muscles and Nikitin is taking it very seriously too. "Nikitin is very committed when it comes to his workouts. He also takes his work very seriously," says a member from the production unit.
As for his performances on screen, a source reveals that the actor is said to be thrilled with working with the Khans. "He insists that working first with Salman and now with Shah Rukh have been brilliant learning experiences. For him working with the senior stars like the Khans, is like going to school," adds the source.
However when contacted, the actor said that for him more than anything, being directed by Rohit is a dream come true. What's an added for the actor is that his performances have been appreciated by his co-stars, the industry and the audience.

Fair enough. If iOS is "doomed" as a platform, then I expect the number of new apps in the App Store to shrink very, very fast. For some reason, I don't see that happening. Devs are going to continue to make apps for iOS for a long time to come.
I get it: some people like to tinker, but they are NOT the only ones that matter. The end user matters just as much IMO. The end user wants a phone that just works. No flashing, tweaking, rooting, etc.

I can't wait till you have an issue with your crApple iphone. Though, I guess all the people posting about issues with their iphones on forums must be lying. Same with the android users that don't have any problems. Both sides have people that have had issues with their devices. Simple as that.
Every has played this card around here lol. I base my judgement on the phones that I've personally owned, worked on at my job and managed through family and friends.
I know that owns an Android dislikes their phone for one reason or another; poor app selection, Marketplace not having X app, slow phone, bloatware, etc.
I personally had the original Droid 1, tweaked the heck out of it and still never got it to a stable state. Now I have an iPhone 4 and it's been 0 problems since day one. Call it what you will, but I call it like I see it.
Android does have potential and I respect it for what it is: a tweaker's heaven and a regular user's nightmare.
I have my opinion and you have yours.

It is similar. I finally got tired of tweaking my stupid gaming PC and wanted something that worked right out of the box. So many hours wasted on that tinkering crap (and Android) that I wish I had back; I do enough of that crap at work.

London, the present. Soon after leaving prison, Eddie has his eye cut out by a loan shark chasing an old debt. Eddie's other eye will only be spared upon repayment. Desperate for cash, Eddie phones Linda, a childhood sweetheart. She lives in Saxon – a ghost-town of grim flats run by a corrupt council. Linda is very wealthy. Her husband Kevin won a million pounds on a TV quiz show. But Kevin has gone missing, feared dead. Eddie offers his services as an amateur sleuth, and so embarks on a comically gruesome journey through the surreal underworld of Saxon: the place where he grew up, the place where his mother works as a prostitute, the place where he murdered a bailiff.

MGM Asks State to Delay Casino Fee Collection
April 17th, 2014
By PHILIP MARCELO, Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Casino giant MGM is asking Massachusetts gambling regulators to slow down the process of collecting required state fees for a casino license in the state's western region as it seeks to open an $800 million casino in downtown Springfield.
MGM Springfield President Michael Mathis suggested Thursday that the state Gaming Commission award the company a license, as expected, by the end of May.
But he requested the commission consider holding off finalizing the process and collecting the required state fees, pending the outcome of an effort by gambling opponents to repeal the state's 2011 casino law.
The proposed anti-casino ballot question is currently before the state's highest court.
"Repeal the Casino Deal," the group that is pushing for the referendum, said MGM's request is a sign the "landscape for casinos has shifted" in Massachusetts.

No. 5 Michigan State beats Texas 92-78
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Like it did against North Carolina, Texas controlled most of the first half against Michigan State. The only difference was how the Longhorns performed in the second half.
Texas was outrebounded, 25-13, and allowed the Spartans to take 29 free throws in the final 20 minutes. Adreian Payne scored 19 of his career-high 33 points in the second half as Michigan State picked up its most lopsided win over Texas in school history during a 92-78 victory.
Yet it wasn't rebounding, defense or shooting that Texas head coach Rick Barnes was most displeased about.
"The biggest area we need to improve in is listening," Barnes said. "We didn't listen the way we needed to. If you don't listen, you're not going to execute."
Payne hit 10 of his 13 shots from the floor and knocked down 11 of 12 attempts from the free throw line. He hit a pair of free throws to complete a 14-2 run Michigan State used to put the game away over a 4:22 stretch midway through the second half.
"Payne got off scotch-free in the second half because we didn't make him defend," Barnes said. "Michigan State, they weren't No. 1 a couple weeks ago for no reason. They beat us. We really needed to make Adreian Payne defend. We didn't do that."
Appling, battling a hip pointer, had one of the worst shooting days of his career, connecting on only 2 of 11 attempts from the floor.
Payne was one of six Spartans to score during that 14-2 run. Branden Dawson, who had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, started with a layup. Gary Harris, who missed three of the previous four games with an ankle injury, followed with a 3-point play.
Between Gavin Schilling's putback and Travis Trice's 3-pointer, Appling got a layup to go, one of his few bright moments. But the way he responded after the game was one of Izzo's favorite moments of the game.
"Listening to him after the game, thanking the guys for picking him up was maybe as big a part of this as the win," Izzo said. "We came down here Thursday night because of plane issues. I wasn't really happy about that but it turned out to be really good because we got to spend a little team time. I think our team grew a little bit."
Cameron Ridley scored 13 of his team-high 17 points in a first half mostly controlled by the Longhorns, who was coming off an 86-83 win at No. 14 North Carolina. Texas opened the game on an 8-2 run and Michigan State led for only 56 seconds in the first half when Dawson gave the Spartans a 21-19 edge with a layup.
But the Longhorns quickly reclaimed the lead on two 3s by Damarcus Croaker. Javan Felix hit a 15-footer in the final seconds of the first half to give Texas a 38-36 lead going into halftime. His only 3-pointer of the game put the Longhorns on top 47-43 early in the second half but they never held that large of a lead again.

Ashley Zeckman | June 25, 2014 | Comments
A sizeable 62 percent of consumers believe that social media has no influence on their purchasing decisions. But is that really the case?
Understanding the key factors in your consumers' purchasing decisions is invaluable information for marketers. Without it you'd simply be taking a stab in the dark and hoping that your SEO, social media, advertising, and overall marketing strategies are sound.
Fortunately, companies like Gallup help take the guesswork out of consumer habits. Gallup recently released their new report "State of the American Consumer: Insights for Business Leaders." Here are the highlights.
Today's consumers are much more educated than consumers of years past. It doesn't matter if they are spending $10 or $10,000; they're doing their homework before forking over their hard-earned dough.
In addition to having a good product, you must also find a way to connect with these buyers through your marketing initiatives. While they are clearly doing their due diligence to make sure the investment is sound, they are also purchasing based on how they feel about your brand.
Gallup has created a Customer Engagement Score (Gallup CES), which includes three metrics that have proven to be linked to customer behavior. These items are:
It's also important to remember that your engaged customers are worth more to your bottom line that those that are actively disengaged. In fact, Gallup found that on average your engaged customers represent a 23 percent premium while your actively disengaged customers represent a 13 percent discount.
Maintaining or gaining a positive perception of your brand from consumers doesn't require a hefty marketing and advertising budget, but it does require attention to detail and some creativity. Consumers expect companies large and small to deliver what they promise. Gallup discovered that consumers invest twice as much when they are aligned with a brand.
Every employee within your organization is a representation of your brand. It is the job of the management team and marketing department to make sure that employees understand what it is that differentiates you, and are able to speak about it eloquently.
Unfortunately, most companies have done a poor job of arming their employees with the proper information to speak about their brand.
According to Gallup's research, only 46 percent of managers and 37 percent of non-management employees strongly agreed with the following statement: "I know what my company stands for and what makes our brand(s) different from our competitors."
It looks like it's time for marketing to focus on training internal staff on their brand elements.
The real question is, how can you get better aligned? Gallup recommends that brands:
Seventy-two percent of U.S. adults state that they utilize social media channels several times a day. So naturally it would make sense for online marketers to utilize social media as a channel for brand engagement.
First, though, we need to understand why it is that people are utilizing social media. Marketers would like to believe that people are on social networks simply to interact with their brand. However, that isn't the case. In fact, the breakdown is as follows:
Gallup interviewed 18,000 consumers and asked them what influence social media had on their buying decisions. As marketers, the results aren't ones we would consider favorable:
While 62 percent of consumers may believe that social media has no influence on their purchasing decisions, we have to take a look at what that really means. Sure, users may not click on your advertising and make an immediate purchase, but that doesn't mean that your social strategy isn't having an impact on how they feel about your brand.
Customers are people, not numbers. They want to be engaged and have trust in your brand before they'll make a purchasing decision.
We also need to recognize that while there is a significant amount of value in utilizing social media as a marketing channel, we need to be realistic about what we will gain by interacting socially. We may not see immediate gratification (a conversion or purchase) but we're spending time interacting where are customers are spending their time, and working to build trust in the process.

In keeping with our promise of more coverage of the upcoming World Cup, Ronan and I thought it would be fun to invite everyone to share stories from the mish about soccer.
My home town was small enough that our high school didn't participate in all sports, with
soccer football being the most notable omission. However, when I was a junior in high school, plans announced to field a competitive high school team in a few years, and we started a community league and a club team to develop players. Although I wouldn't be around to play on the official school team, I had always enjoyed playing soccer football and was eager to join the teams. Though I was certainly no Pelé, I had a decent enough kick and reasonable reflexes and found that I was fairly competent relative to my peers.
About a year after playing my last game in my community league, I was shivering from a chilly breeze in Savonlinna, Finland. I was a greenie missionary, and my companion and I had been invited by the young men from the branch (all 3 of them!) to come play
soccer football at the local pitch with some guys from their school. I stared around the field, wondering how on earth anyone could call this hard, grassless dirt a " soccer football field" and immediately assumed, in true American fashion, that I was clearly going to be playing with novices who likely didn't even understand the sport, and certainly wouldn't be able to compete with me.

I asked Miles what actions have been taken against these health professionals who have abandoned medical ethics. "Only very minor reprisals," he said. "A medic who watched some abuse. A nurse who witnessed other abuses. But no one higher has been disciplined." A source at Physicians for Human Rights tells me: "It's been a complete whitewash."
Not only Army interrogators and doctors are committing these war crimes under our own War Crimes statute. Two years ago, The Washington Post's Dana Priest reported that in a CIA Rendition Group of kidnappers, "case officers, paramilitaries, analysts and psychologists . . . figure out how to snatch someone off a city street, or a remote hillside. . . . "
The famed anthropologist Margaret Mead wrote that in ancient times, when a physician arrived, a patient was not sure whether the doctor had come to treat him or kill him. So much for advanced civilization. But why, I wonder, are American doctors who are not in our military prisons remaining silent?

Time to zoom in on the universe
The telescope is just over 400 years old. In terms of human history, that's the blink of an eye.
For most of humanity's existence, reality was mostly what we could see unaided. Then in 1608, a Dutch lens maker named Hans Lippershey created the first practical telescope. It boasted a magnification power of just three, but it was immediately popular, particularly among traders who used the newfangled device to search the horizon for incoming ships and thus beat their competitors to market.
In Italy, a University of Padua professor named Galileo Galilei read descriptions of the telescope and built one for himself the following year. But instead of turning to the sea, Galileo looked to the sky. In doing so, he forever changed our sense of place in space.
"Starting with Galileo realizing that the sun did not revolve around the Earth and that we were not at the center of the universe, we have come to realize how, in one way, insignificant we may be," said Alison Coil, an assistant professor of astrophysics at the University of California San Diego who is involved in several deep-space telescopic surveys. "The universe is far more vast than we ever imagined."
Vast indeed. And often very strange. Ever-improved telescopes have revealed a universe fraught with sometimes inexplicable phenomena: the big bang, black holes, brown dwarfs, quasars, pulsars, cosmic rays, exosolar planets, dark matter and dark energy, and the fact that there are more (a lot more) stars and galaxies in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth.
There's more to come. In this, the International Year of Astronomy, stargazers and universe-watchers are gearing up for many more discoveries using new telescopes. Here's a survey:
In March, NASA is scheduled to launch Kepler, an orbiting telescope whose primary goal will be to look for Earth-like planets in or near the habitable zones of stars. The telescope is named after Johannes Kepler, the 17th-century German astronomer best known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion.
In May, space shuttle astronauts are scheduled to make their final trip to the 19-year-old Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting roughly 350 miles above Earth. They will install a new camera and other instruments, extending the usefulness of a remarkable telescope already credited with precisely measuring the age of the universe, finding evidence of dark energy and snapping thousands of astounding pictures of galaxies far, far away.
If everything goes as planned (hardly a given these days), a successor to the Hubble will be launched in 2013. The James Webb Space Telescope, named after NASA's second administrator, is roughly the size of a tennis court. It will hover far beyond the moon, fixed in space 931,500 miles from Earth, and will use infrared light detectors to see farther and deeper into the universe, piercing cosmic dust clouds to watch the birth of distant stars and solar systems.
Big things are happening on Earth, too. Big, in fact, is the byword.
Currently the largest visible-light telescopes have mirrors no larger than 10 meters, or about 33 feet. The Giant Magellan Telescope, being built in Chile by a consortium of universities and space agencies, will employ a mirror only 8.4 meters (27.6 feet) across. But it will have seven of them. Their combined resolving power is expected to produce images 10 times sharper than those from the Hubble Space Telescope. The tentative completion date is 2018.

Conn. lawmakers OK compromise Newtown privacy bill
HARTFORD, Conn. State lawmakers passed an 11th-hour compromise bill early Wednesday, the final day of the legislative session, preventing the release of crime-scene photos and video evidence from the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and other Connecticut homicides, concerned such records would be spread on the Internet.
The bipartisan legislation came after days of closed-door talks and speculation about whether an agreement could be reached before the midnight Wednesday adjournment. But once agreement was reached, the bill was quickly and overwhelmingly approved. It passed the Senate 33-2 shortly after 1:30 a.m. The House of Representatives then passed it a half hour later by a vote of 130-2. It now moves to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's desk for his signature.
Malloy's office initially had been working privately with legislative leaders and the state's top prosecutor to come up with a bill addressing the concerns of the Sandy Hook families, bypassing the traditional legislative process of a public hearing or committee votes.
"My goal with this legislation was to provide some measure of protection for the families affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But the fact is, all families have a right to grieve in private," Malloy said in a statement.
According to the bill, a new exemption is created under the state's Freedom of Information Act. It prevents the release of photographs, film, video, digital or other visual images depicting a homicide victim if such records "could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the victim or the victim's surviving family members."
With several family members of the 20 first-graders and six educators killed in Newtown on Dec. 14 looking on, Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr. said the bill closely tracks language from an exemption in the federal Freedom of Information law.
"We have tried our best as Democrats and Republicans to work together to protect the interests of these families, these parents, these relatives sitting behind me, at the same time honoring our tradition as a free and open democracy," he said.
The bill also creates a one-year moratorium on the release of certain portions of audio tape or other recordings where the condition of a homicide victim is described. The exemption does not include 911 emergency call recordings, however. Additionally, it creates a task force to consider and make recommendations about the balance between victim privacy under the FOI Act and the public's right to know. The task force must submit its recommendations by Jan. 1.
Family members of the Sandy Hook victims were at the state Capitol throughout the day, waiting on any legislative action. Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed at the school, told The Associated Press that he knows of individuals and groups that want the information. And given today's technology, he said one photograph can be distributed worldwide and remain accessible forever.
"It's these strange individuals and fringe interest groups that have expressed a very real need for this information and they don't have any business having it," he said. "Nobody would benefit from it. On the contrary, it would do so much harm."

Take a Hike: Little Black Loop Trail
NORTH COUNTY The 1,554-foot summit of Black Mountain usually offers a 360-degree view from the ocean to the west and mountains to the north and east.
Even the 1,200-foot summit of Little Black typically reveals far-reaching views.
But the October day I was on the Little Black Loop Trail, from about 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the fog never lifted. It wafted across those chaparral and sage scrub hills and obscured any long views. But it also made for a far cooler climb up those hills where there are no trees to provide shade.
It's a pretty steep climb up that Little Black Loop Trail. In this part of Black Mountain Open Space Park, the trails sport a 30 percent slope making them among the steeper climbs for their mileage.
I began on the Nighthawk Trail, which also heads up to Black Mountain Summit itself. But instead of going to that microwave-towered summit, I headed east up the Little Black Loop and the South Point View Trail. The views were actually better from Little Black than that South Point, even if the fog hadn't been there.
Black Mountain Open Space Park originated in 1964 when the City of San Diego acquired it under the "Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1926," a federal policy administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The city of San Diego owns and manages the 2,352 acres.
A couple of placards on the way up give some interesting facts about this coastal peak. The first one suggests hikers to look up in search of Black Mountain's birds, including cliff swallows, black ravens and red-tailed hawks. If you're really lucky, you might spot a Golden Eagle.
The second one notes that you are on a "Trail to the Past," where the Kumeyaay lived for thousands of years. Evidence of their village lives is found in this open space park, mostly in the creek beds of its northwestern area where morteros and metates on the rocks reveal where Kumeyaay women would grind acorns into meal.
The chaparral and coastal sage scrub vegetation on the Little Black Loop and South Point View trails is far dryer, dominated by shrubs of laurel sumac, toyon, ceanothus and black sage.
Sage, in particular, was very important to the Kumeyaay. They would spread its leaves and branches on the floors of their dwellings to repel fleas and ticks, according to the placard. Fresh leaves were mashed and applied to wounds, and were sometimes used to flavor food, including that bland acorn mush. Tea made from sage leaves was used to treat colds and bronchial infections.
Today if you simply rub its leaves between your fingers, you'll enjoy its fragrance.
Lining both sides of Little Black and South Point View trails were lots of laurel sumac, its blossoms turning nearly black in October. Orange berries of the toyon, sometimes called Christmas berry, added color to the season.
I saw a couple of desert cottontail rabbits. Other wildlife here include coyotes, mule deer, and bobcats, and a sign at the trailhead noted a mountain lion had been spotted recently.

What brought them here? True love. Hassan married a Minnesotan, who chose snow banks over desert sand as any local, brought up to distrust pleasures, would insist.
Which means lucky us. Not only is the food delicious and service sweet, but, try your best and you cannot spend more than $10 and change for an entrée. We started with a brimming soup bowl of harira — a comfort dish of beef broth married with tomato sauce in which lounged chickpeas, lentils, spaghetti strands, celery and onion, seasoned modestly with parsley and cilantro. It's served with house-made bread, as are all entrees, so irresistible, alas, that we polished off two baskets of the fluffy, slight sweet and slightly salty stuff — fashioned in a layer cake pan, then cut in wedges.
It makes a grand conveyor of the eggplant salad that's also gratis with entrees. But this evening, they'd run out of eggplant, so dual salads took its place: long-cooked, straight-up lentils and a far more intriguing salsa built of crunchy tomato and onion bits with snippets of cilantro, all spiked with a lovely, ice-melting dash of harissa.
Then, on to the tagines — the signature slow-simmered stews of Morocco. Choose chicken with tart olives and preserved lemon; beef with veggies; kefta meatballs topped with eggs poached in tomato sauce; a fish version; or our winning selection, fall-apart-tender beef cubes stewed with sweet and juicy prunes in a succulent gravy, all topped with slivered almonds and a dusting of sesame seeds. Heartwarming.
But the bastilla has fast become customers' favorite, according to our server, and with good reason. In Morocco, it's a complicated, labor-intensive preparation composed of layers of puff pastry alternating with pigeon cooked with nuts, raisins and spices. Here, you may be happy (or not) to learn, the pigeon has been replaced by chicken, joining aromatic saffron, ginger, cilantro and almonds between phyllo layers, then baked under a shower of powdered sugar and cinnamon. It's thus sweet and savory at the same time, like eating a hot-dish dessert.
We also tried the couscous, opting for the vegetarian version that heaped chickpeas, carrots, zucchini and onions atop a generous heap of the grain, clearly cooked from scratch and not a packet. The dish, however, came across as merely bland and boring.
We didn't order dessert, but — salaam — out it came: a beyond-sweet twist of phyllo drenched with rosewater and honey under a toss of almonds, and a biscotti-like cookie, dusted in cinnamon, to dip into our second pot (salaam again) of mint-flavored tea.

PORTLAND - At least 300 people gathered in an auditorium on the University of Portland campus Thursday to cheer for the USA Olympic soccer team.
They had good reason to be excited. One of their former stars, Megan Rapinoe, is a leader on the team.
Inside the building, the face of Rapinoe appeared everywhere as the school handed out small signs with her face attached.
It's gonna get crazy, said Sarah Bridges, a current member of the UP soccer team.
Sitting next to her friends and fellow players and watching the action on an enormous screen allowed Bridges to almost feel like part of the game.
Sometimes you re like 'oh man should have passed it there or something' like you see other options so in that aspect, she said.
When the Americans scored first, the Portland crowd erupted in a deafening roar.
The soccer coach gave his women the day off so they and he could watch the game. Many dreamed of the day they d be on the Olympic team.
Ha, ha I wish! That would be really cool. That s every little girl who grows up playing soccer s dream, said Bridges.
Not far away, 10-year-olds Ava Bayley and her best friend Emmerich Williams, soccer players themselves, dreamed of the Olympics too.
I hope so but that s a ways away so I m trying to work up to that, Ava said.
There s a lot these girls like about soccer.
I like that everyone is working together and that you really have to push yourself to get what you want to have happen, happen, said Emmerich. And while their Olympics may be a ways off, the UP players were only a few rows away.
It seemed like a good place to meet their future. I m going to go up and see them, said Ava.
After smiles and autographs, the young girls and the college women settled in to watch the second half of the Olympic gold medal match.
There were moments of tension, but in the end they were not disappointed as the USA won 2 to 1.
It s a good bet that in Portland and around the country, the dream of women s soccer is alive and well.
