Displaced families not offered employment
'Cement plants will cause environmental damage'
KURNOOL: CPI(M) district secretary T. Shadrak urged the government to enhance the compensation to farmers who lost their land for cement plants in the district to Rs. 6 lakh per acre.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said farmers in various villages lost nearly 15,000 acres in the district. But most of the farmers were paid a price of below Rs. 1 lakh per acre. He accused the factory managements of colliding with middlemen who snatched land from innocent farmers. Those who resisted were threatened, he alleged.
He said the displaced families were not offered any employment in factories.
Nearly half-a-dozen cement factories are coming up in the southern part of the district. In the long run, the plants would cause serious environmental pollution and the villages would become inhabitable, he said. He expressed concern over shortage of seed and fertilizer in the market.

IBMA Awards Nominees Announced; Opry to Host George Jones Birthday Celebration; Brad Paisley and Ronnie Wood Rock Out
- The Boxcarsare the band to beat at the IBMA Awards, earning nine nominations last night. George Shuffler and Del McCoury were also announced as the newest Bluegrass Hall of Fame inductees. The full list of nominees is here. Have no fear if you haven't heard some of those albums and songs up for awards: tomorrow we're having a supersized bluegrass giveaway.
- George Jones will be celebrating his 80th birthday this September at the Opry with a roster of special guests that includes Alan Jackson, Pam Tillis, and Jamey Johnson.
- Willie Nelson has a new song called "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die."
- Here's a video of The Goat Rodeo Sessions, a collaboration featuring Chris Thile, Stuart Duncan, Yo-Yo Ma, and Edgar Meyer. It's insanely good.
- Shooter Jennings' new song, "Outlaw You," set the internet abuzz yesterday afternoon. Check out what Rita Ballou and The Triggerman have to say about it.
- Jesse Keith Whitley is offering a free download of his version of "Don't Close Your Eyes" in honor of his father's recording, which hit #1 in August 1988.
- Montgomery Gentry have a new album, Rebels on the Run, slated for an October 4 release date.
- Edd Hurt of the Nashville Scene penned a lovely feature on Connie Smith, whose album Long Line of Heartaches is coming out next week.
- Vince Gill's upcoming album, Guitar Slinger, will drop on October 25.
- Speaking of dropping, remember when Shania Twain fell at the CMT Awards? She autographed the heels she was wearing and is auctioning them off for charity. The bidding is already over $7,500.
- Roots rockers Deer Tick recently announced a new album and are offering a free download of one of the tracks, "Miss K."
- Glen Campbell's new, final album Ghost on the Canvas got a positive review from Martin Aston of the BBC.
- Peter Cooper on auto-tuning technology: I even think I hear the buzzy, processed, tuning sound (it's kind of like if you swallowed a mosquito and could still sing on-pitch) on Reba McEntire's latest album, and Reba is a vocal powerhouse who needs Auto-Tune to hit a note like Joe Frazier needed Auto-Punch to hit a dude in the face.
- Keith Urban got a fourth-grade class out of homework. Also, two women were injured when a railing gave way at his Wichita, Kansas show.
- In fake news, Country California fake-reported that Carrie Underwood faux-punched some non-existent kittens.
- Bob Lefsetz on authenticity, burgers, and music: You perfect the product, you let people come to you, you play for the long haul. Publicity is passe. If you're great, the public will find you. Everything you knew in the nineties is history. People can smell the hype, they're craving authenticity.
- While he was in London, Brad Paisley rocked out with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood on "Let the Good Times Roll."
- Farce the Music redid some country album covers. The Lefty Frizzell one will make your inner 12-year old snicker.
- Check out the video for Martina McBride's new single, "I'm Gonna Love You Through It."

On tuning, notice that Vince was very precise in what he said. Fact is, as Peter talks around without making crystal clear, a lot of your favorite, most emotionally compelling, *realest* records are tuned. Timing is a skill like many others – it can be well or poorly done.
The Boxcars? If they don't play on the Opry or Music City Roots, I'm out of the loop! Crikey!
I really enjoyed last night's Music City Roots "IBMA Bluegrass Special" show through Sierra Hull's performance, at which point I had to tune out. I wish the IBMA festival concerts were streamed live in the same fashion! Gosh, that is some wonderful music and we sure can use all we can get out here in bluegrass concert starved Los Angeles.
I saw David Nail do an acoustic set in LA's tiny Mint Club last night as the 20 something gal dominated crowd sang along on pitch! This show was partially an "industry showcase" for Hollywood types but I don't think many showed up from the looks of the audience. Man do his fans love that "Red Light" song!
I also got to see and chat with Shelly Fairchild who is promoting her recent rockin' soul music release "Ruby's Money" (available on CD at her shows only). Even though Shelly has put her Nashville Big Label Music Machine experience behind her, she has fond memories of the whole process. She loved recording her "Ride" album, the music on it, and the people she got to work with in Nashville. Both Shelly and I agree its a shame her Top 40 country radio career didn't pan out. Shelly's friend songwriter Stephony Smith was in the audience and even joined Shelly on stage for a track off of "Ride" done funky style. If you like rockin', bluesy soul music sung with real intensity, then catch Shelly's show if she heads your way. Here's a short review from fangurl Patrice over at Nashville Hype:

by Goldman, William
Publisher:Ballantine Books
Acclaimed for such Academy Awardwinning screenplays as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and such thrillers as Marathon Man, not to mention the bestselling classic The Princess Bride, William Goldman stands as one of the most beloved writers in America. But long before these triumphs, he caused a sensation with his brilliant first novel, a powerful story of reckless youth that was hailed as a worthy rival to The Catcher in the Rye.
Ray Trevitt is coming of age in the American midwest of the late 1950s. Handsome, restless, eager to live life and to find his place in the world, Ray hurtles headlong through a young mans rite of passagesearching for answers and somewhere to belong. What he discovers is that within friendships and love affairs, army tours and married life, victory and tragedy, lie the experiences that will shape his destiny, scar his soul, and ultimately teach him profound lessons he never expected.

No Gold Watch for Jim Crow's Retirement:
The Abolition of Segregated Unionism
at Houston's Hughes Tool Company
the racially segregated Independent Metal Workers Union as the col-
lective bargaining agent at Houston's Hughes Tool Company. In a unani-
mous decision, the five-member board determined that the union had
failed to fairly represent all workers at the company and systematically had
discriminated against African Americans. The ruling ended nearly fifty years
ofJim Crow unionism at Hughes Tool, one of Houston's premier manufac-
turing plants.1
Ivory Davis, a black material handler and longtime employee at Hughes
Tool, filed the discrimination charge against the union that ultimately led to
its decertification. Davis's action against the union stemmed from the white
leadership's refusal to file a grievance on his behalf after the company's
management denied him an apprenticeship because of his race. The
union's labor agreement with Hughes Tool reserved apprenticeships for
whites only. In 1962, Davis and the black union leaders decided to chal-
lenge the validity of the racially biased labor contract between Hughes Tool
and the Independent Metal Workers Union (IMW). Davis's action was the
beginning of a two-year struggle that combined the efforts of the federal
government, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored

By LIZ KREUTZFormer – and potentially future – First Daughter Chelsea Clinton made the big reveal on Thursday: She's pregnant.She announced the news during a speech in New York City with her mother, Hillary Clinton, at her side."Marc and I are very excited that we have our first child arriving later this year," she said at the Lower East Side Girls Club at the end of a Clinton Foundation event dedicated to empowering young girls.Clinton did not say if she and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are having a boy or a girl. But she later tweeted that her due date is sometime this fall."I certainly feel all the better whether it's a girl or a boy that she or he will grow up in a world full of so many strong, young female leaders," she told the audience full of young women. "So thank you for inspiring me."Grandmother-to-be Hillary Clinton connected the announcement to the focus of the day's event, telling the crowd that she is not only excited for her family but for the future generations who may not have to face the same glass ceilings as she did."Obviously we are very excited about what's happening in our family," she told the young women. "But we're also very excited because of what we're doing that we hope gives confidence and support to so many of you across our country as you make decisions about the lives you want to lead and try to make sure there are no ceilings that are stopping you from going as far and as high and as fast as you can."Actress America Ferrera, who was moderating the event, noted Hillary's happiness: "I don't think anyone was smiling as big as your mom at that announcement.""I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child -- hopefully children -- as my mom was to me," Chelsea replied.Bill and Hillary Clinton both responded on Twitter shortly after the announcement Thursday afternoon. The news shouldn't come as a complete shock.In an interview with Glamour magazine last year, Clinton said that she and her husband were planed to make 2014 "the Year of the Baby.""We sat down and said, 'Here's what we want to do.' The first thing on the list was simple: We want, God willing, to start a family," Clinton told the Magazine. "So we decided we were going to make 2014 the Year of the Baby."At the time Clinton added, "Call my mother and tell her that. She asks us about it every single day."Indeed, Hillary Clinton has made no secret of the fact she's been eager to become a grandmother."I will certainly tell you, that's a title I would be proud to have," Clinton said last fall.And in September, former President Bill Clinton was asked the question by Charlie Rose: Would his wife prefer the title "president" or "grandmother"?"If you ask her, I think she'd say grandmother," Bill Clinton said, "but I have found it best not to discuss that issue…. My goal is to live to be a grandfather." Copyright 2014 Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Union Rags still the 1 in AP's Run to Roses Top 10
Picking the favorite for the Kentucky Derby may be as tough as picking the winner.
Without a breakthrough star heading into the May 5 Derby, there's a stable full of 3-year-olds worthy of the leading role as horse to beat when a full field of 20 spring from the starting gate at Churchill Downs.
Let's begin with Union Rags, who opened on top and now finishes No. 1 on the AP's final Run to the Roses' Top 10 list of Derby contenders. Other potential Derby favorites are Bodemeister, Creative Cause, Dullahan, Gemologist and I'll Have Another.
Union Rags comes into the 1 1/4-mile Derby off a third-place finish in the Florida Derby after winning the Fountain of Youth. Not the most stellar credentials, but by finishing with a flourish in his last race after a tough trip trainer Michael Matz is hoping Union Rags will be at his best on Derby day.
The colt worked four furlongs in 47.40 seconds at Keeneland last week. Matz called the work "nothing spectacular," but "we will ask more of him in his next work," sometime next week at Churchill Downs.
"If he has an exceptional work next week, he could wind up the favorite," says longtime Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia, who will set the betting line a week from Wednesday. "But in two losses, they made excuses for him. If he's as good as everybody says he would have been able to overcome that bad trip (in the Florida Derby)."
With that, Battaglia is leaning toward Bodemeister based on the colt's eye-catching, 9 1/2-length victory in the Arkansas Derby in just his fourth career start. Bodemeister is No. 3 this week.
"He ran a huge race in Arkansas, but the question is can he come back in three weeks and duplicate that?" says Battaglia.
Gemologist, No. 2 on our list, is unbeaten in all five of his starts, including a victory in the Wood Memorial. Dullahan, No. 5, came rumbling down the stretch and overtook Hansen in winning the Blue Grass, and the California-based duo of I'll Have Another and Creative Cause ran 1-2 in the Santa Anita Derby.
"They all have questions," says Battaglia, "which is why it's so wide open."

Animation of an endoscopic examination of the colon, part of the large intestine. A polyp is a fleshy outgrowth from the inner lining of the colon or rectum. If they are left untreated they can turn cancerous. Endoscopic examination can be used to identify polyps, which can then be removed. Once the polyp is removed, it can be studied to determine if it is precancerous or not.

Taking comfort to new heights.
Mavic's Stratos H20 Shorts are an excellent representation of what's possible when top-tier materials, chamois compatibility, and fit come together to address the needs of mountain bikers. And now that the H2O Shorts add Mavic's Rain Tech ST and Dura Rain panels, those in routinely wet climates finally get to be a part of the action.
Mavic's Stratos H20 shorts build on its standard models with the inclusion of Mavic's Trail Tech Plus fabrics. With these materials in tow, the shorts create the right blend of abrasion-resistance, stretch, and water-resistance. In fact, the built in stretch compliments the Stratos' semi-baggy cut in order to allow a total freedom of movement. So, by combining a semi-loose fit with the same stretch of an all-mountain baggy, Mavic has ensured that you'll avoid snagging a saddle or having the fabric bunch on you while pedaling.
Also preventing short migration are wide hook-and-loop closures located at each hip. Additionally, this adjustment system allows you to fine tune the fit at the waist. For storage, there are bonded zippers over the pockets on each thigh, and the pockets are just big enough for essentials like keys, phone, and a few gels. And in terms of ventilation, Laser cut Micro Vents at the hips aid in both moisture management and in keeping the ride from getting too hot and sweaty.
And while these are shell shorts, they're also able to be teamed up with Mavic's Stratos liner for added comfort and support in the form a chamois — available separately.
The Mavic Stratos H2O Shorts are available in the color Black and in four sizes from Small to X-Large.

Mavic Stratos H2O Men's Shorts

must-have for a serious all-season rider
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 6' 0"Weight: 155 lbsSize Purchased: Small
Strong material, yet flexible in the right places, great fit for a biking position (doesn't ride up or pull down),couple pockets, elastic waistband, some reflective features, waterproof, breathable - what else can you wish for? Mavic really thought this through. A friend of mine turned my attention to these and I dropped a bunch of money I would have never thought to have spent on a piece of biking clothing. However, having your butt dry while riding in mud, creeks, rain, etc. is soooo worth it. You can also layer it with some warmer knickers or tights for the colder days or just use under shorts (or underwear without the chamois as I do ;-) when the weather gets warmer.
A bunch of guys I ride with here in the Seattle area all have these and we always joke we're the "Team Mavic."
The only unfortunate thing is that Mavic seemed to have improved one thing in the newer version - they added velcro tabs in the waist area for better adjustment... but they have used a 2-layer material. The shorts on this page were made with a 3-layer fabric and it's much tougher than the newer version.
Also, these run big - I normally wear a medium and got a small for these and they're snug but fit much better than the mediums (I'm 6' tall and rather skinny - 155 lbs naked).
Mavic h20 shorts

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Sick bad weather riding shorts. They fit long which is nice for coverage.
The waistband is nice but i had beltloops added as i like wearing a belt with my shorts.
They are perfect for spring, fall and winter riding. They also dont hinder the use of knee pads.
What is the inseam measurement for these...
What is the inseam measurement for these shorts in L or XL?

Hey Alex,
These shorts both large and xl will have a 17" inseam.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens accepts Ice Bucket Challenge
|08.12.14 at 12:02 pm ET
On Sunday, I issued the Ice Bucket Challenge to Celtics coach Brad Stevens in hopes of raising awareness about ALS and benefiting The Pete Frates #3 Fund's mission of finding a treatment and cure for the disease. Within the allotted 24 hours, Stevens accepted the challenge in an email Monday with the subject line, "On its way tomorrow …" Sure enough, the Celtics posted their coach's response on the team's YouTube account Tuesday.
In addition to issuing an Ice Bucket Challenge for all Celtics fans to donate and participate, Stevens dedicated his ice-dumping efforts to friend Matt White as well as longtime Boston College sports information director Dick Kelley, who succumbed to the disease in 2011. Stevens first met White ' who still battles ALS in Cape Haze, Fla. ' prior to a December 2007 game against Florida Gulf Coast University. "Amazing the effort and time he put in to share his thoughts with our teams," Stevens shared in an email. The former Butler track athlete's moving speech to the Bulldogs prior to their Final Four win over Michigan State in 2010 is must-watch video.
The ALS Association, Pete Frates #3 Fund and Matt White Cure ALS Foundation are all currently accepting donations, and the Celtics are asking fans to send videos using #CelticsIBC on Twitter. Well done, coach.
As for Celtics players, NBA All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo already accepted an Ice Bucket Challenge.
UPDATE: Newest Celtics player Evan Turner also accepted an Ice Bucket Challenge Tuesday.

Paris, France
My Rating
Our guide, Marion, was spectacular. I think the d'Orsy was the finest museum the we have seen in all of our travels. However, marion made the day.
Paris, France
My Rating
Not worth the price. We used it for 15 minutes one day; we had a two day pass. There as several different buses that accept the Viator Voucher. With the traffic in Paris, we got off the Hop on- Hop off buss, after going about 10 blocks in an hour. Naration was peer because of the slow pace. We found that the Metro is the way to go, as you can get to any destination in Paris in a matter of minutes. I have utilized Viator in Boston,Barcelona,Naples,Rome and for four other Paris Tours which were excellent. This one was not worth the money. Not recommended!
Paris, France
My Rating
Another spectacular Viator Tour. Our guide related a massive amount of history and detailed background about the Eiffel Tower. He navigated us to each level of the Tower, including the very top level. Again, the guide made this tour an excellent investment.
Paris, France
My Rating
What a spectacular tour. Our guide was most knowledgeable. She made sure that we saw all of the important exhibits. Her knowledge of the Louvre History was most informative.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
We saw much more in Rome than expected.
This is perhaps the best way to see many important areas in a one day period.
The audio was most informative, and we controlled the time spent at any stop along the way.
Very affordable and we highly recommend this form of touring.
Naples, Italy
My Rating
In two and one-half hours we saw quite a few highlights of Naples.
The cost was approximately 60% less than the cruise ship cast for the similar tour.
We highly recommend this tour. It was stress free.
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
What a great way to see all the highlights of Barcelona.
We believe that this is the most inexpensive way to see it all.
You have total control of your time.
Highly recommended.
Boston, Massachusetts
My Rating
Two days of Hop-on Hop-off Touring, plus the included Boston Harbor Tour, for forty dollars, was the best deal that anyone could find in Boston.
Each driver was also an excellent tour guide.

"We're hoping this will be a yearly thing and that restaurants will be really interested in earning these titles," said Bennett.
While recognition of participating restaurants and businesses will be a big part of the event, so will raising awareness about the free services provided by NAMI: CV, said Bennett.
"We're hoping more people will become aware of our organization through this because we're one of those organizations you know is there but you may not know what it does," said Bennett. "It's invaluable to the community."
"A variety of ingredients mixed together make a healthy soup," added Bennett. "A variety of people working together makes a healthy community. A healthy community working together can battle stigma and enable everyone to reach their full potential."

Finding a place to mark the life of Dr. Hector P. Garcia
CORPUS CHRISTI - Plans are under way to cast in aluminum the legacy of civil rights pioneer Dr. Hector P. Garcia.
The location of where a Texas Historical Marker will stand in his honor is up for debate, stirring emotions of those who were close to him.
Some want it at his medical office, now shielded by a chain-link fence from the deteriorating neighborhood he served. Others prefer the county's indigent care hospital, where a family clinic is named for him, or the university plaza that marks the resting place of his scribed civil rights work.
The city's bayfront also has been named as a possible location because of the high tourist traffic.
The criteria, defined by the Nueces County Historical Society: The marker must be accessible and in a place that best represents the man.
Garcia, a physician and World War II veteran, spent a majority of his public life in his office, a red brick building with blue trim at 1319 Bright St. It was a longtime meeting spot for the American GI Forum, a civil rights group Garcia founded in 1948 to advocate for the rights of Hispanics and veterans.
The now-shuttered building was a first choice for the historical marker, his daughter Wanda Garcia said. She is leading the effort for a local marker and wants public input about where it should be placed.
"It's a really nice building," Garcia said. "It's just had some bad luck."
It has been vacant for 15 years, most recently embroiled in a family dispute about its restoration.
Four years ago the National Archives and Historical Foundation of the American GI Forum, the fundraising arm established by Dr. Hector P. Garcia to help pay for college scholarships and for a repository for GI Forum documents, lost a $250,000 federal grant to help. Board members were unable to raise the $750,000 matching funds required.
Through the years, the foundation struggled to gain community credibility after accusations of corruption, unexplained missing funds and lawsuits filed by Garcia's daughter Cecilia Garcia Akers and his widow, Wanda, now deceased, after they were refused board membership. Garcia's daughter Wanda and his cousin Amador Garcia, who is the foundation's chairman, are on the board.
That reputation has left the foundation inactive the past two years, Amador Garcia said.
He believes the marker should be outside the medical office, which could help the foundation raise money to restore the building.
"I know there is some concern about the part of town, but you know Dr. Hector didn't care about where he put his building," he said. "He put it in the Westside, and that's where he practiced his medicine. That's where he chose to earn his bread."
The building on Bright Street was a local and national symbol of the civil rights movement.
Dr. Hector P. Garcia and the American GI Forum gained national attention in 1949 with the case of Pvt. Felix Longoria, who was killed in combat during World War II. A funeral home in Three Rivers denied his widow's request to use the chapel for his burial because her husband was Hispanic. The GI Forum petitioned then-senator Lyndon B. Johnson, who secured a hero's burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Longoria's burial there became the catalyst for a national civil rights movement.
The only place the marker should go is outside Garcia's medical office, said Mexican-American filmmaker John Valadez, who wrote and directed "The Longoria Affair," an Emmy-nominated documentary chronicling Garcia's fight for civil rights.
"I don't know why there is a discussion, except that people are afraid to talk about race because it reminds us of how much more we need to do," said Valadez, who lives in New York City. "If people are afraid to see the marker there, maybe it's a commentary on us. Maybe we are the ones who have the problem; it's not the clinic or the place, it's us."
The clinic is where Garcia received visits from patients and politicians for more than 40 years and also helped plan a strategy for the landmark 1968 public school integration case Cisneros et al. v. CCISD.
Patients stood in line at his office, sometimes all day, to see Garcia — who didn't take appointments.
Everyone was treated equally.
It wasn't uncommon to see some of the community's poorest people sitting next to some of the area's most influential political leaders. He always put his medical practice first, said Cecilia Garcia Akers, who worked in her father's office for 10 years. She remembers the kindness and respect he had for everyone who walked through his door.
Another option being championed by community leaders is the family clinic named after him at nearby Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial, where he frequently treated sick patients when it was known as Memorial Hospital.
"It still serves the poor, the generation of those he used to serve," said Alicia Gallegos-Gomez, a South Texas radio personality. "Think of the thousands of people who go through those doors. It would be meaningful."
Garcia's daughters both said they are open to that idea.
Ultimately, the decision will fall to Wanda Garcia and the Nueces County Historical Society, said Anita Eisenhauer, society chairwoman.
The society oversees the historical marker process at a local level. Members agreed to fund Garcia's marker in the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. The marker will cost about $1,500 plus a $100 filing fee with the state, which must approve it. The process takes about a year, Eisenhauer said.
The Texas Historical Commission is processing a marker application for Dr. Hector P. Garcia in Hidalgo County, where he spent his early years.
One of the historical society's concerns is that people see the marker, Eisenhauer said. She worries that might not happen if it's outside an abandoned building, where it could fall prey to vandalism.
Several other options are being discussed.
Some believe Garcia's marker would reach the most eyes on the bayfront, the city's highest tourist attraction. Wanda Garcia has suggested Cole Park or the intersection of Morgan Avenue and Shoreline Boulevard.
Other suggestions include Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, which houses his extensive collection of historical papers and has a plaza dedicated to him. Or his grave at Seaside Memorial Park, where each year friends and family honor his life.
What would Dr. Hector P. Garcia do if he could decide?
"He would get on the radio," Gallegos-Gomez said, "and call a town hall meeting and take the pulse of the community."

Thermodo adds a thermometer to your smartphone
By Ben Coxworth
March 8, 2013
Today's sensor-packed smartphones can measure a lot of things, but ambient temperature generally isn't one of them. It is possible to buy separate Bluetooth temperature-sensing modules, and it's been suggested that mobile devices could use beams of infrared light to obtain spot temperature readings. The Thermodo, though, is considerably more straightforward – it's a tiny electrical thermometer that plugs into the phone's headphone port.
Here's how it works ...
The Thermodo itself is based on a standard four-pole audio plug, but it also contains a passive temperature sensor. An audio signal is sent through that sensor – depending on the temperature surrounding the phone, the sensor will attenuate the signal amplitude differently. The phone's microphone picks up the altered signal, and relays that data to the accompanying app. The result is a real-time onscreen display of the temperature.
The device draws its power from the phone, and reportedly uses less juice than a pair of headphones. When not needed, it can be plugged into a matched keychain carrier.
One of the Thermodo's limiting factors is the range of temperatures it can measure: -20 to 50ºC (-5 to 120ºF). The designers are quick to point out that the stated operating range of the iPhone 5 is 0 to 35°C (32 to 95° F), but that still may limit its usefulness for some applications.
Copenhagen-based start-up Robocat is currently raising production funds for the Thermodo on Kickstarter, and has already far exceeded its funding goal – apparently a lot of people want a thermometer for their smartphone. A pledge of US$25 will get you one.
More information is available in the pitch video below.
Source: Thermodo
The idea is awesome, but if it's dependent on the microphone...then it might not work in a noisy setting. Just a slight negative.Roma Khudoleyev
@Roma; it uses the microphone part of the jack, not the microphone built into the phone (unless by noisy you mean electrically noisy).
All in all a clever piece of kit, and i find myself wondering if the same approach could be used for other measurements.digi_owl
I like this one. To bad the $10 level is closed :(Snatr

The backyard has patio furniture, privacy fence, a small grill and palm trees! It is a perfect place for enjoying a cocktail before you hit the town!
I've lived in New Orleans for a total of nine years. I'm originally from Georgia, but once I came down to the Big Easy I never looked back! There's just something about this city that when it gets in your blood, you never want to be anywhere else. I'm a father of two lively boys, a loving husband and a civil engineer.
"America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." - Tennessee Williams
I chose the Irish Channel because its the quirkiest, liveliest, and most character-soaked neighborhood in New Orleans! It's located just a couple of blocks from the heart of bustling Magazine Street, which boasts the coolest bars, restaurants and boutiques in the city. It's centrally located between the French Quarter and Uptown/Audubon Park, with about a ten minute drive to either one.
Off-street Parking, Convenient Location
Four of us stayed here after a cruise out of the Port of New Orleans. This place is amazing. It's bigger than the pictures look. We had plenty of room and all the appliances were new. It's walking distance to Magazine Street (which has District donuts and Tracey's po-boys). The area is walk-able and we got "jazzy passes" for the public transportation ($3 for a day of unlimited travel on streetcars and buses), and it was easy to get around. We loved the record player with jazz records! Getting into the property was easy and we received our deposit back quickly. Will definitely recommend to friends.
This is a lovely home easily accommodating five adults who are very used to all the creature comforts. And this home did not disappoint; it was clean and well-appointed The bedrooms and bathrooms were great and the spaces for communal activities -- the kitchen, living room and dining room -- were perfect. The home is a quick bus ride to the French Quarter and within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants on Magazine Street. We could also walk to St. Charles to ride the streetcar and to catch Mardi Gras parades. In regard to hospitality, the owner (Mat) kindly provided some basic foods like fruit, milk, and juice, and he also left a list of favorite restaurants, bars, etc, that we referenced a number of times. I contacted Mat a couple of times prior to our trip to NOLA and he contacted me several times during the trip to make sure everything was okay, and he was always pleasant to deal with and very accommodating.
Due to the size of our family it has become difficult to visit our family in NOLA. This time we chose to rent a house and could not have been more pleased with our experience. The classic "shot gun" layout of the house seems almost as roomy as my >3000 square foot home! The house is beautiful inside and out and I loved the off street parking with gated front yard! I was able to let the kids play in the yard without concerns of them running into the street. We loved our stay so much that we extended one more night. Will definitely consider the property again in the future!
What a wonderful home. All the furnishings, the linens, the furniture, were very very nice. The interior of the home was decorated beautifully. We did not use the kitchen much but it was very nice. The home was very clean on our arrival. It was very cold when we were there so we did not get to use the nice patio table out back. The owner was very easy to work with and even understood when one of our group messed up the alarm system setting and set it off. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a spacious and very nice place to stay in New Orleans.
We were so impressed by Mat's beautiful home and recommend it without hesitation. The interior space is larger than it appears in the photos, and the layout makes it so conducive to hosting a group that wants to spent time together and then be able to retire to their private bedrooms. We appreciated the comfortable living room/dining room/kitchen space with all the amenities and enjoyed sitting in the sunny backyard as well. The location was awesome - walking distance to everywhere. We are a group that likes to walk and so it was easy for us to walk to the French Quarter, the Garden District and other relevant neighborhoods. The home was also surprisingly quiet. Mat was very responsive and super helpful, providing us with great recommendations for his favorite local haunts. We especially enjoyed Juan's Flying Burritos (definitely try the double margaritas). Overall, it was an excellent stay and we hope to come back! Thank you Mat for the awesome HQ for our family trip!
We stayed in this property for a girls weekend with four 40-something professionals. The home is beautifully furnished and decorated to perfection. The layout was extremely comfortable and the amenities excellent. We particularly enjoyed the record-player and comfortable sitting area in the "family room" right next to the kitchen.
The location of the home is also excellent - a short walk to Magazine St. for excellent shopping and restaurants. We had a rental car and easily drove to the French Quarter several times, and also explored the magnificent homes in the Garden District. Having parking at the home was great, and the gate made us feel extra secure.
Mat was fantastic to deal with - very responsive and accommodating to our requests and questions. He provided an informative welcome packet with several recommendations and lots of information about local attractions. And although we did explore all that New Orleans had to offer, much of what made our trip so wonderful was relaxing in this beautiful home gossiping with a cup of coffee or wine as we enjoyed our time together. I highly recommend this property!

Results Released as National Memory Screening Day Nears
NEW YORK, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --- An overwhelming majority of Americans with memory concerns had not discussed this issue with their doctors despite recent visits, and an alarming number of them reported that they have other diseases that are risk factors for dementia, according to results of a survey released yesterday at a national caregiver conference hosted by the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA).
These findings and others support the value of memory screenings, as well as the need to raise more awareness about the importance of being pro-active about memory problems, the AFA concluded.
"This is a call out to the nation. Individuals need to be pro-active about their own memory health, and healthcare professionals need to aggressively raise the issue and utilize available screening tools so that we can get a handle on this escalating crisis," said Eric J. Hall, AFA's chief executive officer.
The survey results were released as sites across the country ready to offer free, confidential memory screenings on National Memory Screening Day on November 13, an annual event initiated by AFA five years ago that coincides with National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month in November.
AFA announced the results t its National Concepts in Care Conference in Philadelphia for family caregivers and healthcare professionals.
The voluntary survey involved 1,902 people --- of an estimated 21,000 --- who underwent free memory screenings from coast-to-coast as part of AFA's National Memory Screening Day in 2006. The face-to-face screenings consist of a series of questions and tasks, and were administered by qualified healthcare professionals.
"The survey shows that we're effectively identifying people who need to
be screened, and we're encouraging them to seek appropriate healthcare
services," said Dr. Richard E. Powers, chairman of AFA's Medical Advisory

Autoimmune hepatitis type 2 associated with an unexpected and transient presence of primary biliary cirrhosis-specific antimitochondrial antibodies: a case study and review of the literature

Unlike other autoimmune liver diseases, primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) has never been reported in early childhood, while type 2 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is eminently a paediatric disease.
Case presentation
We describe a case of type 2 AIH with serological positivity for PBC-specific anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) in a 3-year old girl. We found this observation intriguing as AMA and indeed an overlap with PBC are virtually absent in Type 2 AIH, a pediatric form of AIH which is distinct precisely because it is characterized by pathognomonic anti-liver kidney microsomal type 1 (LKM-1) showing a remarkable antigen-specificity directed against cytochrome P4502D6. We also review the literature in relation to AMA positivity in paediatric age and adolescence. In our case, the presence of AIH-2-specific anti-LKM-1 and PBC-specific AMA was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), and immunoblotting and ELISA based on recombinant mitochondrial antigens. The clinical, laboratory and histological features of the child are given in detail. Interestingly the mother was AMA positive without other features of PBC. The child was successfully treated with immunosuppression and five years after the original diagnosis is on a low dose of prednisolone and azathioprine, with no signs of relapse. Anti-LKM-1 antibodies are still present in low titres. AMA were detectable for the first 4 years after the diagnosis and disappeared later.
This is the first case report in the literature of AIH type 2 with an unexpected PBC-specific AMA positivity in a young child. Response to immunosuppressive treatment was satisfactory and similar to that described in AIH. A review of published reports on AMA positivity in paediatric age shows that the antibody may arise in the context of immunodeficiency and is variably associated with liver damage.

This tour couldn't have been better. We got a fantastic tour guide named Steve who was extremely knowledgeable, and extremely funny. He had us in stitches the entire time. We got to see Bath, Windsor, Lacock (not mentioned in the itinerary, but it was one of the highlights of the day) and finally, Stonehenge. Everything was absolutely beautiful. We had just enough time at each place to wander around and soak up the Britishness of it before moving on to the next stop. The drives through the countryside were just breathtaking. I can't recommend this tour enough!

My Rating
I rate this one a three, not because the Lake District was bad (it was amazing!) but because it was SO badly managed. We arrived at the train station in the Lake District on time, as directed by our first tour guide. We were told that there, we would meet another guide. We waited for half an hour, and still no one showed up. We made many phone calls. The tour company that handles the actual Lake District part of the tour - never apologized for the inconvenience, or even admitted that it was their fault that they had had a mis-communication regarding our booking. They didn't even want to make an effort to let us at least see part of the Lake District. It was only after we absolutely insisted that they reluctantly agreed to allow us to join the latter half of a Japanese group's tour. We missed about half of the things that we had been looking forward to doing, and couldn't understand our Japanese guide. Thankfully, our driver was English and would put in his two bits for us Americans every now and then. My friends and I made the best of it, and ended up having a fantastic day (one we certainly won't soon forget!), but we will never work with this particular tour operator again.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Rating
Absolutely fantastic. The tour group, Rabbie's, was amazing and our tour guide had to be the best on the planet. We were able to see so many of the major places in Scotland, but we never felt either rushed or bored. Everything was perfect - if you plan on going to Scotland at all, use this tour!!

Kevin Dineen, Panthers enjoy tradition of rookie dinners
NOV 04, 2013 1:42p ET
"I think it's gotten to the point with the maturity of leadership in the NHL that instead of turning this into a 'We're going to get these guys,' it has turned into, 'Let's turn this into a really nice evening.' "
Over the weekend, the Miami Herald reported veteran members of the Miami Dolphins have been using younger players to finance meals and excursions. One example noted Dolphins rookies being on the hook for a $30,000 player dinner. First-year cornerback Will Davis said via Twitter the bill was split by multiple rookies.
Dineen noted there were different traditions when he broke into the league with the Hartford Whalers in 1984. He recalled having to dress up in a manner similar to what many Major League Baseball rookies endure today. But during Dineen's 21-year career, the rookie dinner became commonplace.
"Traditions have changed over the years since I was a rookie," Dineen said. "There were things (then) that probably are not acceptable these days. That's just the evolution of sports in general. It can be looked at a lot of different ways."
Florida held a rookie dinner at the end of last season, with Jonathan Huberdeau, Drew Shore, T.J. Brennan and Jacob Markstrom picking up the tab at the oceanfront SLS Hotel in South Beach.
"It was different because it was at the end of the year," Huberdeau said. "It was kind of the end-of-the-year party and the rookie dinner at the same time. It was cool. It brings all the guys together."
Huberdeau did not recall an exact figure for the event, but said depending on the team and location, a rookie dinner runs in the ballpark of $5,000 to $8,000 per rookie.
"I don't care," Huberdeau said of the cost. "It's a good time. Sure, it's a little money, but you get it back every year you go for dinner."
Huberdeau's only regret is that the Panthers were not able to hold the meal during the season, which is usually the tradition. A compressed game schedule due to the NHL lockout limited time for off-day events.
"It's better to do it during the season," Huberdeau said. "It brings all the guys together and builds chemistry."

Tokyo stocks leap 3 percent in early trade
popular .
TOKYO–Tokyo stocks jumped more than three percent on Friday, the first day of 2013 trading, following global rallies on a US deal to avert a "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and huge spending cuts.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which ended 2012 at the highest level since the March 2011 quake and tsunami disaster, was up 3.02 percent, or 313.80 points, at 10,708.98 after the first few minutes of trading.
The benchmark index opened up 2.01 percent and quickly expanded the gains.
"Japan's markets are opening relatively late after the US government acted, and thus they stand to benefit from the news as well as the enthusiastic response from other bourses," said SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi.
Nishi also noted the yen's drop against the dollar and euro, which is positive for Japanese exporters.
But he told Dow Jones Newswires that profit-taking by traders was likely to temper share prices.
Tokyo markets had been closed from the end of 2012 until Thursday for holidays.
The US House of Representatives late Tuesday passed a deal between the White House and Republicans to raise taxes on the rich and put off automatic $109 billion budget cuts for two months, lifting the clouds of immediate crisis.

Prep boys tennis: Short-handed CSN battles to claim 2nd at districts
CAPE CORAL - Class 1A-District 10 boys tennis tournament
Team scores
Canterbury 17, Community School 11, Seacrest 7, St. John Neumann 6, Evangelical Christian 1, Cape Coral-Oasis 1
Singles finals
1. Carlin (Cant) d. Casola (CSN) 6-0, 6-0; 2. Nagarajan (Cant) d. Prue (SEA) 6-0, 6-0; 3. Ilic (Cant) d. Dounchis (CSN) 6-0, 6-3; 4. Conroy (CSN) d. Glock (Cant) 7-6 (8-6), 6-4; 5. McCable (CSN) d. Hernandez (Cant) 6-4, 6-0
Doubles finals
1. Carlin/Nagarajan (Cant) d. Kaye/Thorne (SEA) 6-2, 6-1; 2. Ilic/Block (Cant) d. Conroy/McCabe (CSN), 6-3, 6-2
Even without its top three players, Community School's boys tennis team managed a crucial second-place finish in the two-day Class 1A-District 10 tournament that concluded at the Cape Coral Racquet Club on Thursday afternoon.
The families of freshman Jack Flagg, senior Jeremy Price and freshman Alex Nick already had spring break vacations booked by the time the district brackets came out, but they will be eligible for regional play when CSN travels to District 9 winner St. Petersburg-Shorecrest Prep next Thursday.
"Yeah, we'll be fine," first-year CSN coach Alejandra Aguilar said.
Canterbury won five of the seven finals to claim the six-team tournament and will host the District 9 runner-up Bradenton-St. Stephen's on Thursday.
"I think for the situation, they did great," Aguilar said. "I actually didn't expect this result and I'm very proud of them. They stepped up to the plate."
The short-handed Seahawks got big lifts from freshmen Michael Conroy and Philip McCade.
Conroy survived Canterbury's Logan Glock 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, to win the No. 4 singles title Wednesday.
"It was a very close match," Aguilar said. "He managed to come back and close it out in the first set with the tiebreaker. It was an intense, close, good win."
McCabe beat Canterbury's Manuel Hernandez, 6-4, 6-0, also on Wednesday.
"He played really well," Aguilar said.
Conroy and McCabe teamed up to beat Seacrest in the No. 2 doubles semifinal early Thursday afternoon, then fell 6-3, 6-2 against Canterbury's Imka Ilic and Block in the final a half-hour later.
"They knew they had to step up to be able to go to regionals, and they did so," Aguilar said.

Product description
Three teenagers with XP (a life-threatening allergy to sunlight) are a species unto themselves. As seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Allie Kim, they roam the silent streets, looking for adventure while others sleep. On a random summer night, while scaling a building like any other, the three happen to peer into an empty apartment and glimpse an older man with what looks like a dead girl. A game of cat-and-mouse ensues that escalates through the underground world of hospital confinement, off-the-grid sports and forbidden love.
