This is the real deal. OK, I've been to Tokyo only once, two years ago, but based on that single overdose of eye-candy, Masu — the new, Japanese-forward café in Northeast overseen by a number of bold-name chefs — has jubilantly captured the tween dominance of its pop culture. (Translation: Over 21? Over the hill.)
Its gallery-white walls, sporting yummy lime accents, are decorated, variously, with munny toys, anime graphics and blinking Pachinko machines. A much-tweeted mural of the giant eyeball of a supermodel-in-the making hovers over black table tops fitted with a mini bonsai and collectible pottery ware, plus a simple glass tumblers awaiting the already-famous cocktails built from the contents of sake jars, huge and squat as sumo wrestlers, that serve as room dividers.
And the food! Think tapas, Asian-style. In addition to an A list of sushi are a dozen new-to-Minneapolis bite-size apps ($5–$7 range). Following our waiter/mentor's lead, we ordered three. Dainty, miniature spring rolls held crab and edamame (sweet and crunch ) sided by dips — one chili, modestly hot, one mayo-smooth. Then, a sextet of gyoza (fried dumplings) plump with ginger-scented duck, again accented by dual dippers; finally, the crispy pork hara-age, the only big mistake of the evening — way too much crusty, overfried batter per molecule of pork.
Next up, skewers from the robata (grill), $3–$5 range. I could have just said "yes," they all sounded so tempting, but as real life often interferes with fantasy, I was forced to choose. Loved the trio of succulent, spongy eggplant cubes bathed in sweet miso. Also the sweet, chewy grilled corn. Oh, and the asparagus. The list continues with seafood, chicken, beef, pork and bacon choices. From the latter, we picked another winner: three bitty hard-cooked quail eggs wrapped in bacon (breakfast on a skewer).
When I return, I'll concentrate on serious noodle worship (bowls $10 range). Before exploding, I managed to polish off one, the best-selling pork belly ramen — a bowlful of rich broth wriggling with vermicelli-like ramen noodles — a far cry from those of dorm days — tangled around meaty, fatty chunks of pork belly and shards of roasted pork and topped with a lasciviously runny poached egg. Somewhere in the mix appeared a fish cake, too.
My tablemate spied the list of set meals hiding at the very bottom of the menu, unheralded by our otherwise-excellent waiter, and I'd recommend that first-timers to Japanese food cast their eyes there, too: not only are they a great combo of styles the kitchen is saluting, but they represent a real bargain. For instance, my pal's selection of grilled ribeye, rosy-rare and juicy; delicate tempura batter dressing large, sweet shrimp; sweet corn robata; a cherry-tomato-bacon maki robata; and kani (snow crab) nigiri, all for $25 (and that's the most expensive one). Needless to point out, we didn't have room for dessert.

The ARG_PRESENT function returns a nonzero value if the following conditions are met:
In other words, ARG_PRESENT returns TRUE if the value of the specified variable will be passed back to the caller. This function is useful in user-written procedures that need to know if the lifetime of a value they are creating extends beyond the current routine's lifetime. This can be important for two reasons:
Suppose that you are writing an IDL procedure that has the following procedure definition line:
The intent of the RET_PTR keyword is to pass back a pointer to a new pointer heap variable. The following command could be used to avoid creating (and possibly losing) a pointer if no named variable is provided by the caller:
IF ARG_PRESENT(ret_ptr) THEN BEGIN
The commands that follow would only be executed if

Eagles QB Foles has concussion
Nick Foles has a concussion and Michael Vick is still recovering from a hamstring injury, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles uncertain of a starting quarterback next week.
Looking for the latest news from around the NFL? Our Insiders got you covered.
Foles was injured when he was sacked by George Selvie and Jarius Wynn on the final play of the third quarter in a 17-3 loss to Dallas on Sunday. Foles struggled against the Cowboys, completing just 11 of 29 for 80 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Vick has missed the last 2 1/2 games. If neither can play against the New York Giants, rookie Matt Barkley would make his first career start.
Barkley threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter in his first NFL action.

ClassicsOnline Home » CORP, R.: String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 / Country Matters (Wilde, Maggini Quartet)
Praised for his previous choral music albums, British composer and conductor Ronald Corp now makes his Naxos chamber music début with this disc. His First String Quartet takes its name from the world's largest, most stately and regal bird, the bustard, whose soaring flight and dance-like gait are evoked in this fascinating piece. His Second String Quartet celebrates a baby boy's birth with joyful and exuberant music. The composer describes his song-cycle Country Matters as 'poignant and riotously outrageous'. The Maggini Quartet are renowned for their authoritative interpretations of English chamber music, while tenor Mark Wilde also sings on several other Naxos recordings.
By Robert R. Reilly
Catholic News Agency
Ronald Corp (b. 1951)
String Quartet No. 1 'The Bustard' • String Quartet No. 2 • Country Matters, for tenor and string trio
A dear friend of mine suffers from depression, and would acknowledge that her symptoms mean that she is classified as bi-polar. When her depression descends she is of course in the depths of despair and in the blackest of holes. During one of these periods of depression there was a particular thought which sparked some lightening of the trauma—the thought that a flock of bustards had flown over and were watching and taking care of her. Why the bustard and not some other bird?—Well, because it was the largest flying bird in the world, and a most imposing creature, stately and regal. Naomi—that is my friend's name—had seen these birds on a website and had fallen in love with them, and fallen in love with the project which aimed to introduce them back to this country. They were farmed and eaten out of existence by our Victorian forebears, and now David and Karen Waters were trying to bring them back to their natural habitat on Salisbury Plain. From the fantasy of bustards flying over North London and being watchful of a depressed Naomi, now they were a reality and were flying around Salisbury Plain.
This is how I came to know about the bird, although as an amateur ornithologist I already knew what a bustard was. The stage was set to promote the bird through music, and I had the idea of writing a theme tune for bustards everywhere, perhaps to go on the bustard website! But my ambition grew and I knew that the string quartet I had planned to write for the Maggini Quartet should be dedicated to the bustard. My idea was to represent the bird and its characteristics in music, and the string quartet medium proved ideal for that. Something of the Elizabethan dance was suggested by the movement of the bustard as it walked on the ground, and the sight of the bustard in flight offered suitable inspiration for soaring melodies and rushing accompaniment figures.
My String Quartet No. 1 celebrates the bird itself and is a wonderful advert for the project to re-introduce the bustard to this country. It hopefully also offers solace to a marvellous woman who suffers depression and I trust that it also makes sense as a piece of music. The string quartet medium encourages composers to express themselves in a more intimate manner than is usual on the large symphonic canvas, and I have found that my inspiration (nudged by the bustard itself) has been very intense. The finished work is dedicated to the Bustard Project.
I have tried to avoid describing the bird in music, but have to admit that the opening of the first movement represents the bird 'taking off' as it begins to soar over Salisbury Plain. Once airborne, the music concerns itself with thematic argument and a number of themes are presented, some of which will become leitmotivs in subsequent movements. The whole movement nods in the direction of traditional sonata form. The second movement is an invocation of Salisbury Plain, perhaps at night, or at dusk. An element of folk-music pervades the landscape. The third movement is a scherzo and again represents the bird in flight. In the last movement I suggest the gait of the bird in the Elizabethan dance form of a galliard. The bustard has a most regal stance and appears, when moving, to be dancing an elaborate measure. The first main section of the movement represents this. Then follows a vigorous allegro section which uses a thematic sequence which occurs in all of the movements and which perhaps suggest a rustic, and less mannered, dance. The whole is rounded off by reference to music heard in the first movement.
I have composed a number of occasional instrumental pieces for friends over the years, but it was the première of my String Quartet No. 1 'The Bustard' by the Maggini Quartet in the Wigmore Hall in 2008 which unlocked the gates to a new world of instrumental composition. The success of the first quartet presented me with two happy outcomes. The first was the realisation that I could express myself effectively in non-vocal music on a larger scale, and also the enthusiasm of the audience encouraged me straight away to write a 'sister' work—the present String Quartet No. 2 (untitled).
This quartet has a specific point of reference, the birth of a baby boy called Sacha, and the piece is dedicated to him (a birthday present). So inevitably an element of joy and exuberance informs the quicker movements of the quartet, while the slow movement is perhaps less serene. In fact a slightly abrasive chord sequence pervades this movement and reference is made to these chords in each of the other movements of the quartet. These chords are always brushed aside, so if they suggest a more anguished mood, they are never with us for long.
The first and last movements are built on recognisable motives which are put through their paces in the same way that the classical composers such as Haydn might have done. These outer movements also share material to give the piece a sense of unity. A broad theme which appears at the end of the first movement also makes its appearance at the end of the last movement where it naturally flows from the quicker note motif with which that movement had begun. The Scherzo is placed second and is a whirlwind in five-eight time, and is definitely a close relation to the Scherzo in the 'Bustard' Quartet (which was in six-eight).
This second String Quartet shares the overall sound world of Quartet No. 1 and that was intentional—there seemed so much more to say. But I can already hear the sound world of my String Quartet No. 3 which will be quite different.
My passion for composition began in my school years in Wells, Somerset, and I collaborated with a number of school colleagues including the poets Tony Peters, with whom I wrote a series of 'rock operas', and with Steve Mainwaring. I composed a number of song-cycles to Steve's poetry, including a set for voice and violin which I first performed while an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford; I was the tenor soloist and the violinist was Wyn Davies, now a distinguished conductor. Country Matters also had its première at Oxford, in the Holywell Music Rooms on 17 November 1972, with the tenor Philip Cave. The seven poems are variously poignant and riotously outrageous and occasionally invoke the Somerset area around Wells in which Steve and I grew up.

You have some really good jump scares but the littles ones after that dont make much of an impact to scare me. im not feeling overwelmned.

One thing I just can't understand about this game is why is the house so tiny? This means that you'll have explored all of it within 5 minutes! I suppose though that the scares are kind of randomised and so you're exploring more for them rather than the house itself, but why not set it in a mansion? Or an office block or a block of flats. Also, why must does my light run out so quickly? I mean, what, a few minutes operation and that's it? I feel like I'm being rushed not because of ghosts, but because of design decisions. One day I'm sure I'll go back to this game because it has some nice scares, but for now I've had enough.

Can somebody give me some details /info on the book Kanz-ul-Amal ?
Also, how authentic are the hadith found in this book considered to be ?
Question: Is the work "Kanz al- `Ummâl" by Alî Muttaqî al-Hindî a reliable source of hadîth?
Answered by Sheikh Muhammad al-Turkî, professor at King Sa`ûd University
Regarding the book Kanz al-`Ummâl, if the questioner is asking if all hadîth mentioned in this book are authentic, then I would have to say: Definately not. The book is full of weak and false hadîth.
If you like to know where the author got the book's narrations from then I can tell you that this book is, in fact, a rearrangement of al-Jâmi` al-Kabîr and its annexes that was originally compiled by Imam al-Sûyûtî. When Imam al-Sûyûtî wrote his book, his intention was to gather together all the hadîth that he knew, whether they were authentic or not. Al-Sûyûtî openly admitted that there were some false hadîth in it.
Therefore, when the author of Kanz al-`Ummâl rearranged al-Sûyûtî's book, it was obvious that his book would also contain a number of weak and false hadîth, since the original work on which it was based contained the same
If you want the book wiht takhriz, i may give you in arabic.al-Muttaqi al-Hindi (d.975), Kanz al-'Ummal fi Sunan al-Aqwa wa'l-Af'al, ed. Shaykh Bakri Hayyani, Mu'assasat al-Risalah, Beirut 1409-1989.
Subject arranged collection by an Indian scholar who put together al-Suyuti's large Hadith-collections al-Jami' al-Saghir and its Zawa'id into one and arranged them in Fiqh-chapter headings as in a Jami' or Sunan book. It was one of the largest published works, containing an amazing number of 46.624 narrations. Al-Mutaqqi wrote several works based on al-Suyuti's collections, but this work is the most comprehensive and its culmination.al-Muttaqi al-Hindi (d.975), Kanz al-'Ummal fi Sunan al-Aqwa wa'l-Af'al, ed. Shaykh Bakri Hayyani, Mu'assasat al-Risalah, Beirut 1409-1989.

Continental Europe
Popular taste for expansively mounted adaptations of national classics seemed to be on the wane, and both Patrice Chéreau's toughly realistic interpretation of Dumas' La Reine Margot and Yves Angelo's adaptation of Balzac's Le Colonel Chabert proved commercial disappointments. Much more successful critically and commercially were the second and third parts of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Trois Couleurs trilogy, coproduced with Poland. Blanc (White) told of the breakup of an affair between a Polish man and a French woman and the man's return to postcommunist Poland; Rouge (Red), pursuing the unifying theme of coincidence and chance, was the story of a strange, edgy liaison between a young student and an embittered onetime judge. A very different box-office success was Luc Besson's stylized gangster story Léon.
In his two-part, six-hour Jean la Pucelle, Jacques Rivette retold, without adornment, the story of Joan of Arc, played touchingly by Sandrine Bonnaire. A coproduction with Italy and Belgium, Gérard Corbiau's Farinelli Il Castrato offered a finely staged and intriguing account of the career of the real-life 18th-century musical idol.
In Grosse Fatigue, one of the year's more notable comedies, Michel Blanc played a double role: his own real-life self and a double whose outrageous, even criminal behaviour becomes an increasing embarrassment. Marcel Ophuls, the undisputed master of the investigative documentary, completed the first of two parts on the media coverage and destructive folly of the wars in former Yugoslavia.
One of 1994's undoubted masterworks in Italy was Gianni Amelio's Lamerica, which related the odyssey of an Italian in postcommunist Albania as he progresses from would-be exploiter to identification with the destroyed population, distracted by the impossible dream of emigration. Carlo Mazzacurati's The Bull also examined the fortunes of postcommunist Europe, through the picaresque adventures of an Italian traveling from country to country, attempting to sell a stolen prize bull.
The most personal film of the year was Nanni Moretti's Caro diario, a series of musings on Rome, life, and his own troubled health. Mario Brenta's Barnabo delle mantagne was an austere yet richly textured study of a forest ranger, beset with moral anxieties, in the Dolomites in the 1920s.
In another lacklustre year, the most interesting German productions were Jan Schutte's Auf Wiedersehen Amerika, a charming, off-beat, melancholy, and beautifully played comedy about an elderly Jewish couple returning to Poland after 30 years in the U.S.; the actor Klaus Maria Brandauer's handsome, if somewhat remote, adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella Mario und der Zauberer; and Hans W. Geissendörfer's Justice, based on Friedrich Dürrenmatt's farce about a poor lawyer morally undone by a powerful client.
In Belgium the writer Jan Bacquoy made his directorial debut with La Vie sexuelle des Belges, a witty, unexpectedly charming recollection of a lifetime of sexual experience in the stifling moral atmosphere of his country as he sees it.
Finland's star filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki made a wryly comic road movie, Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatjana, about two dour Finns unwillingly involved with a pair of garrulous Russian women hitchhikers. The second film of the talented Veikko Aaltonen, Pater Noster, was an extraordinary composition of the past and present memories of a man returning to his home and the ghosts of his anxious childhood.
From Iceland, Fridrik Fridriksson's Movie Days was an evidently autobiographical reminiscence of a 1960s boyhood world, coloured by the excitements of the movie theatre. In Beyond the Sky, Berit Nesheim of Norway created a quirky and touching story about the friendship of a difficult teenage girl and a grumpy old teacher whom she helps to rediscover an ancient lost love.
The runaway commercial success of the year in Russia was Yury Mamin's neatly handled and human comedy Window to Paris, about a group of St. Petersburg citizens who discover a magical window in their awful apartment house that leads directly into the bewildering delights of the French capital. Several directors returned from working abroad. Andrey Konchalovsky's Ryaba My Chicken revisited the village where he shot his long-banned 1967 film Asya's Happiness to present a farcical view of the peasants' nonadjustment to the demise of communism. Konchalovsky's brother, Nikita Mikhalkov, played the main role in his own masterly Burnt by the Sun, which begins deceptively as a summer idyll at a dacha overflowing with an extended, Chekhovian family but then moves startlingly into the terror and betrayals of Joseph Stalin's 1930s. Mikhalkov also directed Anna 6-18, an assembly of home movies of his daughter. Boris Frumin, after 16 years of exile in the U.S., made Viva, Castro!, a reminiscence of the days of his own youth, and the confusions of farce and tragedy, cruelty and romance in the life of the early 1960s.
From Georgia came Eldar Shengelaya's mordant comedy Information Express, and from Kazakhstan, Talgat Temenov's enchanting lightweight romance Love Station.
Three Czech directors from Czechoslovakia's "new wave" of motion pictures in the 1960s returned to form--Jaromil Jires with a dark comedy-romance, Helimadoe; Karel Kachyna with a rural period drama, The Cow; and Jiri Menzel with The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin, a dated satire on the trials of a simple Russian soldier at the start of World War II. Also from the Czech Republic, Jan Sverak's science-fiction comedy about the power of television to suck the life force from humans, Accumulator 1, was rich in ingenious special effects.
From Poland, Dorota Kedzierzawska's The Crow was a small but exquisite study of a lonely little girl who runs away from home, taking with her a four-year-old whom she uses to fulfill her equivocal yearning to love and be loved, while Feliks Falk's Summer of Love was a sophisticated and elegant story of romance and manipulation in late Czarist Russia, based on an Ivan Bunin story.
Filmmakers in former Yugoslavia endeavoured to deal with the present reality. A collective of Bosnia and Herzegovinian directors exposed the anguish of their city in MGM Sarajevo (Man, God, The Monster). Boro Draskovic's Vukovar Poste Restante was a Romeo and Juliet fable about the love of a Croat woman and a Serbian man. A Serbian director, Zivojin Pavlovic, adapted Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "The Eternal Husband" to the conditions of present-day Serbia, centring the story on two friends caught up in the war in the devastated city of Vukovar.

Altos Los Romeros
Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
From the valleys of California and Chile to the rolling hillsides of the Bordeaux region of France, the one red wine grape varietal you will find in abundance is the Cabernet Sauvignon. This darkly colored grape has been cultivated since the mid 18th century, when it was borne from a cross of fine Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc varietals. Since then, it has spread around the world and has been received with pleasure by wineries looking for a varietal which delivers excellence of flavor and aroma, whilst being hardy enough to resist frost and rot and other such difficulties. Indeed, Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the most recognizable red wine grape varietal on earth, and is easily distinguished by its high tannin level and acidic nature, which is often so beautifully mellowed by being blended with Merlot and other such grapes.
Region: Cuyo
Argentina's Cuyo region has, for several decades now, been renowned worldwide for the high quality of its fruit-forward and remarkably flavorful wines. The arid region includes such famous provinces as the Mendoza, and wineries in Cuyo often have generations of experience when it comes to making the most of the mineral rich yet arid soils which typify the mountainous landscape. The Desaguadero River and its tributaries form many natural valleys through the Cuyo region, and as such, irrigation has long since provided the dry and dusty vineyard with a fertile and crystal-clear water source, straight from the snowy peaks of the nearby Andes. Although Malbec is the grape varietal most commonly associated with Cuyo, wineries continue to experiment with other varietals there, and the wine industry of Cuyo in Argentina continues to go from strength to strength.
Country: Argentina
It is said that the first Argentinian vines were planted in the Mendoza more than four hundred years ago by European settlers, and despite these early wines being used primarily for religious purposes, the fervor for wine making never left the area. Today, Argentina is keen to demonstrate its technological prowess when it comes to vineyard cultivation, by combining traditional methods of irrigation left over from the Huarpes Indians with modern techniques in order to make the dry, arid desert an ideal environment for growing grapes. Indeed, these ancient irrigation channels, dug hundreds of years ago and still in use today, bring mineral-rich melt water from the Andes via the Mendoza river, something which gives the grapes grown in this region some of their character. The primary grape of this and other regions of Argentina is the Malbec, which is highly susceptible to rot in its native France, but which thrives in the dry and hot climate of South America, producing rich and plummy wines which are highly drinkable especially when young.

The Honors ExperienceAsking questions and never settling for less than the best are standard practice for honors students. Here's how the honors experience at St. Norbert takes shape.
Honors Year One
First-year honors students live as neighbors in Bergstrom Hall and enroll in Honors 101, the common course that fulfills the intensive writing component of the Core Curriculum program.
Honors Years Two & Three
Students generally take one honors course each semester. The classes offer extensive interaction with a small group of other honors students meeting together with a professor. Twice during your four years, you may choose an honors tutorial instead.
Honors Year Four: The Final Project
Your senior-year honors project will be with a professor of your choice and in your major area of study. Your project might be an essay or thesis, an exhibit, or a performance. You might even want to leverage this project for future graduate-school research.
For more detailed information about admission requirements, please visit the admission to the Honors Program webpage.

New research: Blast injury predicts PTSD
VA San Diego study of 1,650 Marines sheds light on resiliency issue
"Individuals with TBI show a very high incidence of chronic pain. It's not necessarily due to primary injuries that occurred during combat. There is something more going on," she said.
That kind of pain interferes with treatment, Strigo said.
"It hampers a lot of the (mental) resources I needed for TBI rehabilitation. They are used up with the pain. It increases disability, and it makes patients suffer," she said.
Researchers tested 36 young post-Sept. 11 veterans in San Diego. Half had brain injuries; half didn't. Strigo applied five seconds of 117-degree heat to the forearm of each participant.
The MRI scans of the injured veterans showed changes in blood flow in response to pain. Their brainstems were working overtime to control the pain, but the subjects reported no relief.
This study is the first to do imaging of pain among blast-injury veterans. More work is needed before researchers can say what this means for treatment, said Strigo, who is designing the next project now.
"Our study showed that there is something going on. They are not just complaining and trying to get out of work," Strigo said. "So maybe it destigmatizes."
At the VA's San Diego Center of Excellence for Stress and Mental Health in San Diego, one of three similar VA centers in the nation, researchers are also looking to the next study.
Over the next few years, researchers there are hoping to extend the resiliency study.
Right now, they are using a magnetoencephalographic scanner to take images of the brains of Marines to study the effects of blast injuries. The scanner gives a detailed look at tissue and the current generated by the nerves inside the brain.
Perfecting diagnoses of these "invisible" injuries is one of the big projects ahead for the San Diego VA researchers in the next two to three years, Baker said.
Another is developing better medicines and alternative treatments.
A common complaint among veterans with PTSD is that drugs are prescribed too freely and that side effects are unpleasant.
Baker said they are working on modeling these disorders in animals to help move better medicines into regular use.
"We don't understand the physiology sufficiently to make some of the new medicines that we would wish to have that might have fewer side effects or have better efficacy," Baker said. "Our center is actively doing that."
Another project is developing techniques to help treat pain and PTSD without drugs.
Baker mentioned transcranial magnetic stimulation, when weak electric current and a magnetic field are used to stimulate nerves.
Another possibility is stimulation of the vagal nerve that leads to the brain. The process is now used to treat epilepsy and depression but it has prospects for anxiety disorder and migraines.

API - application program interface
API, an abbreviation of application program interface, is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. The API specifies how software components should interact and APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together.
Types of APIs
There are many different types of APIs for operating systems, applications or for websites. Windows, for example, has many API sets that are used by system hardware and applications — when you copy and paste text from one application to another, it is the API that allows that to work.
Most operating environments, such as MS-Windows, provide an API so that programmers can write applications consistent with the operating environment. Today, APIs are also specified by websites. For example, Amazon or eBay APIs allow developers to use the existing retail infrastructure to create specialized web stores. Third-party software developers also use Web APIs to create software solutions for end-users.
Popular API Examples
Programmable Web, a site that tracks more than 13,000 APIs, lists Google Maps, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Amazon Product Advertising as some of the the most popular APIs. The following list contains several examples of popular APIs:
2. YouTube APIs: YouTube API: Google's APIs lets developers integrate YouTube videos and functionality into websites or applications. YouTube APIs include the YouTube Analytics API, YouTube Data API, YouTube Live Streaming API, YouTube Player APIs and others.
3. Flickr API: The Flickr API is used by developers to access the Flick photo sharing community data. The Flickr API consists of a set of callable methods, and some API endpoints.
4. Twitter APIs: Twitter offers two APIs. The REST API allows developers to access core Twitter data and the Search API provides methods for developers to interact with Twitter Search and trends data.
5. Amazon Product Advertising API: Amazon's Product Advertising API gives developers access to Amazon's product selection and discovery functionality to advertise Amazon products to monetize a website.

In my continuing series of Organizations that "Get It," I would like to profile the good folks at Oregon Dairy. This is a third-generation diversified beef-dairy farm located in Lititz, PA. The farm, owned and managed by the Hurst family, also has a grocery store, retail store, and family restaurant. Their food is known as pure Pennsylvania Dutch and because of the abundant farmland, Oregon Dairy has the freshest produce, meats, cheeses, and awesome ice cream! Oregon Dairy is a family favorite, and more recently an environmental leader, for many of those living near Lancaster, PA.

are based on how good the teams are going into the season and NOT
how they're going to finish. Some teams have easier
schedules than others, some get tougher road games and some will
need a little bit of time to jell, meaning they might be better than
their final record indicates. Going into the year, these are
how good the teams appear to be from No. 1 through 124.
80. UCF Preview Relative Strengths: Running Back, Defensive Back
Relative Weaknesses: Receiver, Linebacker
What to watch for on offense: The battle at quarterback. The Knights appear fully committed to strong-armed sophomore Blake Bortles … until Missouri transfer Tyler Gabbert arrives this summer. While Bortles showed flashes late last year and in the spring, Gabbert was the 12th-rated quarterback from the Class of 2010. The newcomer lacks ideal size, but compensates with accurate throws, good timing and quick feet. The pair is going to square off, with a chance to become the face of the program for the next three years. Round 1 begins in August.
What to watch for on defense: Speed and pursuit of the linebackers. UCF loses productive middle linebacker Josh Linam, but will be just as fast to the ball as it was in 2011. On the outside, the Knights are going to feature dichotomous seniors Jonathan Davis and Ray Shipman who both go after the man with the ball like guided missiles. Linam's replacement, young Terrance Plummer, has great lateral quickness and a much better feel for the position than he had after arriving from Orange Park (Fla.) High School last year. This group of athletes is an underrated reason why UCF will continue to be difficult to run on.
79. Hawaii Preview Relative Strengths: Quarterback, Receiver
Relative Weaknesses: Running Back, Defensive Line
What to watch for on offense: A running game? It's not like Hawaii has totally ignored the ground attack over the years – it had a 1,000-yard runner in Alex Green in 2010 – the bread has always been buttered with the passing attack. Instead of the normal Hawaii spread passing game, Chow is implementing a high-octane pro-style attack that will still wing the ball all around the yard but will be balanced out a bit more. The offensive line has a good mix of underclassmen to build around while the stable of running backs is strong enough to keep feeding the ball to the hot hand. There's power with Joey Iosefa and Sterling Jackson, there's speed with Will Gregory and there's a ton of talent and upside with new recruit Steven Lakalaka.
What to watch for on defense: The secondary. The Warriors will stick with a 4-3 scheme under defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer and it'll continue to be aggressive up front, but the key to the season could be a secondary full of speed, athleticism and options. John Hardy-Tauliau spent last year making play after play at safety, but now he's moving over to a more natural corner spot to go on the other side of veteran Mike Edwards. Bubba Poueu-Luna and Mike Sellers are promising sophomore safeties who should grow into their jobs, but all the real star of the show could be Michigan transfer Demar Dorsey, a superstar recruit who could be the best defensive back in the Mountain West from the second he steps on the field – if he's eligible. Last year Hawaii had the same starting combination in the defensive backfield in every game but one, but the consistency wasn't there. This year the speed and talent have to translate into more production.
78. Toledo Relative Strengths: Quarterback, Receiver
Relative Weaknesses: Defensive Line, Defensive Back
What to watch for on offense: Only four starters return, but don't expect the MAC's No. 1 offense to take much of a step back. The one place the O is loaded is at quarterback, with the supremely accurate Terrance Owens and the efficient Austin Dantin able to make the case for being the two best in the conference. However, star target Eric Page and his 125 catches is gone meaning second-leading receiver Bernard Reedy has to take on a bigger role coming off a huge performance in the Military Bowl. David Fluellen takes over the running game with top backs Adonis Thomas and Morgan Williams both gone, and if he can get a little room to move he should be in for a great season. Only two starters are back up front, but they're good ones with Zac Kerin coming off of a second-team All-MAC season and sophomore Greg Mancz a rising star at right guard. Can the line allow nine sacks like it did last year? If it can, the Rocket offense will be dominant once again.
What to watch for on defense: Defensive coordinator Tom Matukewicz has to something with a secondary that gave up too many yards in chunks and a defense that has to come up with seven new starters. Strong safety Jermaine Robinson earned All-MAC honors and should be a statistical superstar, but the corners are going to be a problem with little experience and no proven depth. Getting one of the MAC's best ends, T.J. Fatinikun, will help a rebuilt line that has some good prospects but needs time and experience. The strength will be at linebacker with the return of Robert Bell and Dan Molls, who finished second and third on the team in tackles, respectively. Those two might be good veterans, but Michigan transfer Vladimir Emilien could become the best of the bunch. 77.
SMU Preview Relative Strengths: Running Back, Linebacker
Relative Weaknesses: Offensive Line, Defensive Back
What to watch for on offense: Ton & Shoot. The Mustangs aren't just balanced on offense. They're powerful and downright assertive on the ground, testament to June Jones' ability to adapt to the talent surrounding him. In Zach Line and Rishaad Wimbley, SMU has at its disposal nearly 500 pounds of muscle with which to soften defenses between the tackles. The pair is going to form an ideal counter to the quick-hitting passing style, keeping defenses off balance, and unable to target one specific segment of the offensive attack.
What to watch for on defense: The Hunt for notoriety. Prepare to get an earful regarding Mustangs DE Margus Hunt, who's on the verge of becoming a household name at least in Conference USA circles. The Estonian product, who arrived in Dallas on a track & field scholarship, has done well since taking up football a few years ago. Now that the 6-8, 275-pound gifted athlete has mastered blocking kicks on special teams, he's bucking to become a more productive pass rusher as well. If his bowl game performance versus Pitt, five tackles and three sacks, is a harbinger of things to come, Hunt could have NFL scouts flocking to SMU in the fall.
76. Southern Miss Preview Relative Strengths: Running Back, Defensive Back
Relative Weaknesses: Quarterback, Linebacker
What to watch for on offense: The ballyhooed arrival of rookie QB Anthony Alford. The true freshman from Petal (Miss.) High School could have chosen to continue his athletic career at Alabama, LSU, Clemson or any number of major problems. He chose to remain in state, in part, because he recognized the opportunity to play immediately. None of the three holdovers to replace Austin Davis, favorite Chris Campbell, Ricky Lloyd or Arsenio Favor, can even approach Alford's upside as a dual-threat. He'll have a lot to learn in August … and a lot to gain if he's able to quickly flatten the learning curve over the summer.
What to watch for on defense: The tackles to take on starring roles. Hey, no one will dispute that Bandit Jamie Collins is the front man of this unit, but it'll be worth monitoring the upward mobility of DT Khyri Thornton and NT Rakeem Nunez-Roches. Both linemen played well during the offseason, especially Nunez-Roches who has the size and strength of a much-needed run-stuffer. As the linebackers regroup on the fly, the middle of the line must be more effective at preventing running plays from extending to the second level. So far, it appears that Thornton and Nunez-Roches will be up to the task.
75. Tulsa Preview Relative Strengths: Running Back, Receiver
Relative Weaknesses: Offensive Line, Defensive Line
What to watch for on offense: RB Trey Watts to be a very busy man on Saturdays. Sure, he'll continue to share carries with speedster Ja'Terian Douglas, but he remains the starter, the player the coaches employ to get the tough yards between the tackles. The junior also has terrific hands out of the backfield, meaning he'll be used liberally on swing passes, and is even listed as a backup to Willie Carter at H-back. Watts is not the flashiest Hurricane on the roster, but he's plenty valuable to an offense that plans to milk all it can from him this fall.
What to watch for on defense: The battle at middle linebacker. The Tulsa D appears to be on solid footing, provided it can overcome the losses of DE Tyrunn Walker and MIKE linebacker Curnelius Arnick. Coming out of spring, the staff was unable to decide on Arnick's successor, listing junior Donnell Hawkins and redshirt freshman Trent Martin as deadlocked. Hawkins has the edge in experience and athleticism. Martin is bigger, with arguably the higher long-term ceiling. The wild card in the mix is former standout DeAundre Brown, who has spent the last two years dodging injuries and academic issues.
Kansas Preview Relative Strengths: Quarterback, Running Back
Relative Weaknesses: Defensive Line, Defensive Back
What to watch for on offense: Run blocking. Out of all the nightmarish stats to come out of last year, the worst was the scoring disparity early on. KU was outgunned 120-65 in the first quarter and 272-158 in the first half. By the time the teams got into the locker room the Jayhawks had to completely abandon the running game. The offense would come out firing and there was nothing to show for it. Keeping the chains moving and owning things on the ground is a must, and it could happen with a big tough line paving the way for a nice stable of backs.
What to watch for on defense: Lots and lots of new faces for the defensive front. Don't' get too comfortable with any sort of Jayhawk depth chart for the defense. Toben Opurum will start at one end, and as far as the other three spots it's … well … it's complicated. The hope is for John Williams to be a stud on the inside while redshirt freshman Ben Goodman is just one of several options about to be tried out on the right side. Throw in a bigger role for both Shane Smith and Pat Lewandowski in the middle, and KU has plenty of question marks for a line that got shredded at will.
73. Temple Preview Relative Strengths: Running Back, Defensive Back
Relative Weaknesses: Receiver, Offensive Line
What to watch for on offense: Coyer meets world. Junior QB Chris Coyer was a well-kept secret a year ago. And why not? He started just four games down the stretch for a program out of the MAC. However, now that he's a more established entity—and his Owls reside in the Big East—he could become quite a bit little less anonymous in 2012. While still developing as a passer, he was virtually unstoppable as a runner, a quality this offense likes in its quarterbacks. In fact, despite playing an abbreviated slate, the 6-3, 230-pound Coyer still rumbled for 562 yards and three scores on only 69 carries.
What to watch for on defense: Youboty call. In dire need of a capable pass rusher to emerge in the aftermath of Adrian Robinson's graduation, the staff is holding out hope that senior John Youboty can approach his once-sizable potential. The end, who originally turned down major offers to play for Mark Snyder at Marshall, transferred to Temple following a serious vertebra injury. Last year was spent getting comfortable being back on the field. The hope is that this year can be spent chasing down quarterbacks, and sparking the first line of the Owls defense.
72. Indiana Preview Relative Strengths: Quarterback, Running Back
Relative Weaknesses: Receiver, Offensive Line
What to watch for on offense: This is where the youth movement of last year should pay off. The attack couldn't score, the passing game wasn't efficient, and the line couldn't generate enough of a consistent push, but all of that should change. New offensive coordinator Seth Littrell's first job will be to get the line to be more physical, and it should be with four starters returning and with enough depth to form a decent rotation. The quarterback situation still has to be figured out with Cameron Coffman looking to push for time, but Roberson is good enough to be the face of the franchise for the next three years. The receiving corps has size and enough athleticism to get by, and the running back situation could be a surprise with several options to help out Houston. Expect more explosive plays and a lot more consistency.
What to watch for on defense: The brand new linebacking corps. It's a bit much to blame the problems of the woeful defense on the linebackers, but they weren't exactly a plus for one of the nation's worst run defenses. With one recruiting class the problem has been solved with the speedy and athletic Jacarri Alexander a ready-made option on the weakside and David Cooper stepping off the bus and into the starting gig in the middle. With sophomore Chase Hoobler back on the strongside and with several excellent freshmen coming in, this should go from being a problem area to a positive in a big hurry.
71. Air Force Preview
Relative Strengths: Running Back, Linebacker
Relative Weaknesses: Receiver, Defensive Line
What to watch for on offense: How healthy can the backfield stay? As long as quarterback Connor Dietz, fullback Mike DeWitt and tailback Wes Cobb stay healthy, everything should be fine for the mighty ground attack. However, there isn't another Dietz waiting in the wings in case the starter gets hurt. Mitch Griebel and Dano Graves have good potential, but there's a drop off. DeWitt missed all of 2010 with a knee injury and backup tailback Cody Getz is coming back after getting hurt late last year. Also trying to return healthy is Anthony LaCoste, a promising option returning from a torn ACL. There isn't a passing game to fall back on, so it could be a long, long season if the backs aren't in one piece.
What to watch for on defense: More aggressiveness. Defensive coordinator Charlton Warren has been around as the co-defensive coordinator for the last three seasons, but now he has the job all to himself and he's looking to make some changes. The defensive front wasn't nearly aggressive enough at getting into the backfield, finishing 98th in the nation in sack and 115th in tackles for loss, but that's nothing new for a defense that never, ever seems able to get into the backfield. Now the goal is to turn things up a few notches to try to come up with more big plays. The offense did its part at times throughout last year, but the D didn't do what it needed to. This year, though, the defense will look to start being more disruptive.

Exploring The Parks: Fossil Butte National Monument In Windswept Wyoming
Many national parks preserve aspects of the past, and in the case of Fossil Butte National Monument, that past goes back 55 million years ago, a time when the landscape of western Wyoming was very different from the windswept plains dotted with sagebrush that we see today.
Wet and tropical was the predominant feature here during the Eocene, when odd-looking animals such as Coryphodon, a type of rhinoceros with no known relatives these days, bats, small cats known as Miacis, and a distant relative of today's coyotes, the Prototomus, roamed. But there also were fish, such as gar, herring, and even sunfish, ancient relatives of many of today's freshwater species. They swam in three lakes that no longer wet this landscape -- lakes named Gosiute, Uinta, and Fossil. While those lakes are gone, the sediments they left behind have long since been compressed into stone, locking many of those species in place.
Bone hunters have been prospecting for these fossils since the mid-1800s, and while the bone wars here weren't as intense as those between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Marsh elsewhere in the Rocky Mountain region, they've generated a steady business for some. Fortunately, enough of this vast, fossil-rich landscape remained available for Fossil Butte National Monument to be established on almost 8,200 acres back in 1972.
Veer from your course up or down U.S. 89 for a short sidetrip down U.S. 30 to the monument and stroll into the visitor center and you'll be overcome by fossils of bats, turtles, fish, insects, and vegetation. You can even watch as paleontologists carefully wield drills and other tools to remove the substrate around fossils being prepared for display. Youngsters can use a rubbing table to create a fossil image they can take home as a momento of this unique landscape. (And don't forget your Passport to the Parks. The stamps here are some of the most interesting you'll come across in the National Park System; one stamp is the image of a Heliobatus radians, an ancient stingray.
Then walk past a crocodile's 13-foot-long fossilized remains -- perched, seemingly, on its snout -- and into the exhibit hall that contains hundreds of fossils. Here are the amazing remains of turtles, fish, insects, and bats that are locked in rock.
After exploring the fossil exhibit, and watching the 12-minute video that delves into the monument's background, head outside and onto the patio that wraps the center. You'll find a timeline running along the railing that notes the different periods of life that existed on the surrounding landscape tens of millions of years ago, as well as some of the life forms -- lemurs, elephants, various primates, deer, to name a few -- that were present during those times. Today plains and low hills extend in all directions, with taller mountain ranges off on the horizons. Two prominent formations -- the Green River Formation and Wasatch Formation -- are encased in this landscape, and within them are billions of fossils.
Once you've seen everything and asked all the questions on your mind, check to see if the monument's fossil quarry is open. At a small parking area a short distance from the visitor center you'll find a picnic area perfect for a quick meal. From there, a half-mile hike, mostly uphill, takes you to the quarry where you can see where some of the monument's fossils came from. During these programs, offered on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer months when the weather permits, rangers explain how fossils are pried from the sedimentary rock, and how researchers mark exactly where the fossils came out of the layer and how they were oriented.
As a bonus, you have sweeping views of the basin and range that once were underwater and teeming with life. From here you can see the Uinta Range in Utah and the Bear River Range in western Wyoming. And you can imagine how the low-slung hillsides in front of you cradled the prehistoric lakes. Harder yet will be trying to imagine forests of oaks, palms, willows and ferns that grew along the lakeshores, and the small horses that loped through them and the primates that climbed into the canopy.
Watch the landscape carefully as you hike the trail up to the quarry, and back down, as these days pronghorn antelope, elk, coyotes, and skunks roam here.
Superintendent Nancy Skinner tells me just about 18,000 people a year make the short detour to Fossil Butte, usually from their trips south from Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, or north to those parks,
"Most people find us along the way to Grand Teton or Yellowstone, or because they have an intense interest in science," she says. "This is like a biologist's dream come true."
If the fossil bug bites you, there are several other units of the National Park System well-worth your time. Dinosaur National Monument that straddles the Utah-Colorado border is not too terribly far south and showcases a hillside studded with the fossilized remains of some of the largest dinosaurs that walked the Earth. Down in Arizona you'll find Petrified Forest National Park with its colorful rock logs and fossils of animals that lived there about 225 million years ago.
Farther west of Fossil Butte, in Idaho, you have Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument with its fossilized horses, mastodons, and saber-toothed cats. Go all the way to Oregon and you can visit John Day Fossil Beds National Monument with a variety of fossilized creatures, including ancient horses and false saber-toothed cats. To the east of Fossil Butte, in south-central Colorado, lies Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, a haven for fossilized insects, flowers, and butterflies.
It'll take a while to hit all those locations, but if you're fascinated by the prehistoric past, you won't be disappointed.
A few years ago there were a couple of privately owned fossil quarries nearby where a family could try digging for fossils on their own. My kids certainly enjoyed it. (So did I.)
Lee, you are so right. We hit up Fossil Butte on our drive between Jackson Hole and Dinosaur National Monument. Its about 3 hours from Jackson Hole. Great visitor center but even better is the digging at adjacent quarries. Spent a good 3 hours digging up fossils with a private company. We have a lot of awesome fossils in a shadow box in our house. An awesome experience. If digging up fossils is your thing, check out http://www.u-digfossils.com/ which is in Delta Utah between Great Basin and Salt Lake City. Another great experience.

Re: new member with, perhaps, an odd question
Thanks Denise and Zeehag for the reply and info. I am torn over the rig configuration. In part because I am so unfamiliar with the junk rig and in part because I am going to be putting the boat into charter to help pay for it and I know the eye appeal a gaffer has. My experience is on gaff schooners and square riggers so I am confronting my comfort zone I guess. I have looked into the price of conversion and, yes, it is expensive, but from the drawings Mr. Colvin has sent to me, much of the existing rig can be used. Sails, gaffs, booms and additional blocks & line. On the other hand, the satisfaction level with the junk rig by other owners is very high. I'd like to talk with someone who has sailed both and would be willing to share their impressions.

YOUR KIDS OR YOUR ADDICTION; EXCLUSIVE Expert calls for ultimatum to junkies.
A TOP Scottish drugs expert yesterday called for addict parents to face the threat: "Give up your habit or give up your children."
Prof Neil McKeganey said they should be forced to make the choice - as the theory that kids are always better off with their mums and dads is folly.
He declared: "If that is true, it means we cannot provide a better environment for these children than one with chaotic, neglecting parents."
Prof McKeganey, head of the drug misuse research unit at Glasgow University, is one of a growing band demanding drastic action in addict homes.
He stressed: "The simple truth is that drug addicts make awful parents ... and children in these households are at risk.
"Parents who have a daily desperate need, who will do anything to secure drugs, are not the people to provide the security, safety and care children require.
"Drug addict parents will always tell you that they love their children.
"But loving is not the same thing as keeping children safe, fed, warm and clothed, taking them to school, helping them with homework or imbuing them with a sense of right and wrong."
Prof McKeganey will today be at the annual Child Protection Conference on Substance Misuse at Edinburgh's Napier University.
Pointing out that a girl of 11 collapsed at school after taking heroin this year, he said children of addicts are exposed to chaos, criminality and violence, have relationship difficulties in "empty" adult life and greatly risk becoming junkies themselves.
So Prof McKeganey - whose department reckons there are at least 50,000 children in Scotland with addict parents and 350,000 in the UK - said it was inevitable that contraception be considered.
MSP Duncan McNeil caused a recent furore by suggesting women addicts should be given contraceptives in their methadone.
But since then ex-health minister Susan Deacon has called for addict mothers to be offered contraceptive implants. And First Minister Jack McConnell has backed new rules for kids of drug addicts to go into care. The moves follow December's death of toddler Derek Doran after he swallowed methadone. The two-year-old's mother Lisa, 25, and father Derek, 21, of Tranent, East Lothian, are in custody charged with his murder and appeared in private for a judicial examination at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday.

My first encounter as a male sex worker rewrote my destiny. It was with a rich, middle-aged woman from Peddar Road who wanted "special treatment". Until then, I only used to give massages to men at Girgaum chowpatty.
She wanted sex. And I obliged. She liked the experience. In my profession, it helps that I am young (27 years old) and have a tough, muscular body.
The rich woman frequently demanded my services after that. Before I even realised it, I was transformed from a masseur to a gigolo.
That's not why I had left my hometown in Gujarat for. Seven years ago, when I first came to Mumbai, I started as a help at a wayside tea stall in Girgaum. Working at the tea stall wasn't something I liked, but I did it for the money.
One day, a middle-aged man — Satyapal — who often frequented the tea stall made a good offer as a maalishwala (masseur). At Chowpatty, I started giving massages to men. I used to earn Rs200 per client. At times, the men who came along used to ask me for a gulaabi maalish (code for a homsexual encounter).
It was one such homosexual who put me in touch with the Peddar Road woman. He used to sleep with her but was not really inclined. That proved to be a turning point for me.
From earning barely nothing at the tea stall to Rs200 a massage at Chowpatty, I've come a long way. Today, as a gigolo, I make good money as I cater essentially to high-profile women.
Now, I live in the suburbs – I've rented a house in Four Bungalows, Andheri (West) and live by myself. I shifted because
my first woman client — the woman from Peddar Road — moved to Andheri (West). Here, I've come into contact with more clients.
Today, I'm quite in demand. I earn about Rs5,000 to Rs6,000 a day. There are many women who seek my services. All are from affluent families but have problems with their husbands or their sex lives.
To advertise my services, I got my cellphone number printed on pamphlets that are tacked up on tree trunks around Lokhandwala Complex. I get flooded with calls from women. In fact, others in this vicinity go about it in a similar way.
Finding a private space for massages is, indeed, a problem. Women don't like to do it their homes; obviously they'd feel inhibited there. So, I used to rent a hotel room for them or sometimes ask trustworthy people to let out a room in their house to do business.
I have set a rule for myself — I do not cater to more than two clients a day. The demand is much more but I turn clients away. After all, the quality of my work and customers' satisfaction are of utmost importance.
Usually, the duration of my job is an hour. I respect the woman who come to me and give her the pleasure that she wants. Women tell me that they find me physically strong and attractive. This, they tell me, differentiates me from their husbands.
Rarely, when I confide in people about the work I do, some admit that they find it disgusting and morally and socially unacceptable for women to indulge in such acts. I do not agree with that at all.
If men can go around with prostitutes, why should anyone have a problem if women hire a man — who is an object of desire for them — and do similar things?
After all, women too have physical needs. Yes, this may not be socially acceptable and this is why they can't be as open about it as men. Thus, they do such things clandestinely.
There are other masseurs like me in the city who are in good demand. I do not feel it's a crime on the part of women at all. And then, I view it practically — for me, it's about earning money while for my women clients, it's about satisfying their sexual appetite.
(As told to Soumitra Ghosh)
