The Artis Q product line — Siemens Healthcare's new line of premium angiography systems — embodies enhancements such as syngo DynaCT Micro in addition to numerous other innovations such as Q.zen. In the Q.zen configuration, advances include a newly designed digital crystalline silicon detector that allows better detail visualization at lower radiation dosages. These new systems incorporate Siemens' second generation of proprietary X-ray tube flat emitter technology, which also contributes to higher dose efficiency of these systems.
Siemens Healthcare can be deemed the first vendor to bring functional imaging to a clinical setting during interventional procedures. Similar to its hybrid interventional imaging solution, Siemens' parenchymal blood volume (PBV) technology, syngo DynaPBV, is another industry first. Following its release in 2009 as a breakthrough neurology application for brain imaging (syngo DynaPBV Neuro), syngo DynaPBV Body applies 3D functional imaging to a whole new set of interventional radiology procedures.
The highly sophisticated algorithms that constitute the CARE (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) and CLEAR software packages represent another layer of product differentiation for Siemens. The CARE portfolio builds on the legacy of cutting-edge dose reduction, monitoring, and reporting techniques and is delivered to customers as standard — not at added cost — in all of Siemens' Artis zee, zeego, Q, and Q.zen systems.
"As an established interventional radiology vendor of choice in the largest number of university and academic hospitals in the U.S., Siemens Healthcare is best suited to address the needs of newly consolidated hospital networks," noted Daher. "It is also strategically placed to help in the creation of clinical specialty centers of excellence in cardiology, trauma and oncology."'/>"/>

A better way to have fun despite the scorching sun
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANLA Philippines – Gadgets of all kinds have satisfied people with its wide array of indoor entertainment.
But as the summer season scorches in, what better way to make the most out of it than to have fun under the sun just as children should have been doing anytime of the year, and just as grownups used to enjoy.
On March 17, Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion is set to give people of all ages just that with its "Banana Boat Great Outdoor Fun" event at the spacious Quezon City Memorial Circle where children and the young at heart will be treated to a free-spirited fun under the sun.
"We invite families and barkadas (groups of friends) to spend that fun-filled day with us. We promise that there will be plenty of exciting activities and good times in store for the entire family," Banana Boat Senior Brand Manager Claire Guevarra said.
For P250, families and friends in a group of four people will be able to enjoy different rides and activities within the park, including Banana Boat products, a Banana Boat premium item, free entrance to the Circle of Fun, and lots of fun and recreation hubs within the confines of the area.
Circle of Fun's amenities include carousel and bump cars, as well as the Pedal and Paddle—a spot that offers pedaled go-karts that can be used to go around the park, and pedaled boats to go around the lagoon.
Guests can also admire a bird's-eye perspective of the grounds on a zip-line ride, or just simply coast on a relaxing bike ride around the area.
Participants can also join a friendly game of Futkal or "Futbol sa Kalye" (street football), or learn something fun and new through the kite-making activity. A photo booth will also be available for groups who want to capture the fun.
Moreover, guests can get a chance to take home prizes from different games, and can also enjoy other fun activities including interactive magic and bubble shows.
Registration starts at 9 a.m.
Sweat it out, but be protected from the sun
But while sweat is worth the fun and excitement, anything that's too much is never good, including a prolonged exposure to the sun.
In a recent press conference, Todd Montgomerie, managing director of Energizer Philippines, said too much exposure to sun not just cause premature aging, but can also lead to skin cancer.
"The UVA and UVB radiation from the sun that causes cellular damage to your skin . . . can lead to melanoma. Not guaranteed, but it can," Montgomerie said, adding there is a direct link between exposure to the sun and risk of getting melanoma.
He said one can get burnt skin in seven minutes in a full midday.
"And your risk of skin damage is directly related to how badly you were burned and how many times you were burned all through your life," Montgomerie said.
To this, Banana Boat offers skin protection against the sun with its array of sun screen lotions.
With their core products of Banana Boat Ultra Protect SPF-50 and Banana Boat Ultra Protect SPF-80, the brand doesn't only aim to protect; it also offers an invigorating dose of Aloe Vera, Vitamin C and Vitamin E which takes extra care of the skin.
Formulated with its patented AvoTriplex Technology, Banana Boat Sun Screen Lotions makes use of a three-way approach against sunburn using its advanced UVB protection and against long term skin damage with its improved UVA protection which lasts longer than ordinary solutions.
Their line of sunscreen lotions also includes the Banana Boat Sport SPF-50 and SPF-110, designed for active users because of its non-greasy, sweat and water resistant protection. The Banana Boat Kids SPF-50, on the other hand, ensures a mild and gentle, tear free protection.
Cara Tecson, Banana Boat marketing manager, explains that the SPF number simply tells that one is 50 times protected versus not wearing sunscreen if one uses the one with SPF 50.
She also said that it is advisable that sunscreen lotions be applied at least 30 minutes before heading out under the sun so as to give your skin ample time to absorb the lotion.
But as to the frequency of application, Montgomerie said two hours is a good average, but people can always opt to decide on their own depending on their needs.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: There appears to be no early respite for residents of Chennai and those living in other parts of coastal Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the heat wave conditions over the coastal areas of the two States for over a week now may continue for two more days.
Speaking to The Hindu, an IMD spokesperson said there appeared to be no possibility of any change in the weather conditions, as there seemed to be no indication of any movement of the monsoon.
The monsoon current, remaining stationary since May 11 after advancing into the Andaman Sea and the south-east Bay of Bengal about a week earlier than the normal date of onset over these area, is likely to stay put at least for another two days.
Mathematical models showed that a vortex could develop over the Arabian Sea in the coming days and thus help the monsoon to move forward. But, these were only early indications. One has to wait and watch, the spokesperson said.
Consequently, the expectation, he said, was that the westerly and north-westerly winds will continue to blow, bringing hot and dry air from the north-west and western regions to the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and at the same time blocking the sea breeze from setting in. There was, however, a possibility of more rain over the extreme southwest peninsular region.
Under the influence of a western disturbance as an upper air system, scattered rain or thundershowers are likely over the western Himalayan region during the next 48 hours. Isolated to scattered rain/thundershower accompanied with squall is also likely over the plains of northwest India during the same period.
Isolated thunder-squalls are likely to occur over Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu division of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal and Sikkim, while isolated heavy rainfalls are likely over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya after 24 hours.

Important Notice: We purchased and installed this classified ads software because we thought it would be a genuine enhancement to the GT classified ads system. I still believe it is a far better
alternative for a classified ads
section than the forum software, but people just don't seem to agree. I had hoped that people would take to the system and see its benefits after having used it for a while, but that hasn't happened.So, I am going to admit defeat and move the classified ads
section back onto the old message board forums. Posting permissions have been turned off in this software and the old classified ads forums have been reactivated. We will leave this software up through 27 June, 2014, so that people can refer to the old ads. Please
place all new ads in the classified ads forums. They can be found on GT's forums index, below the Armory section. Here is a direct link to that area: The Want Ads
Forums.In the coming weeks, we will be adding some features to the classified ads forums that will make them better suited for that purpose, while keeping the features and functionality of that system that people have shown they want.Please
keep in mind that all forum rules apply to the classified ads threads. Additionally, do not post in someone's ad to haggle or arrange a deal. Please contact them directly to negotiate. Also, if you think you know where someone can get the advertised item cheaper, or
you think the person is charging too much, or you don't like the product or seller, etc..., please keep it to yourself. Posting such things in someone else's classified ad thread is not allowed. If you see anyone violating the posting rules, or know of or suspect
that there is a problem with a post or thread, please report the thread or post. Thanks and enjoy the new/old system.

Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (Nasdaq:OSH), a neighborhood hardware and garden store focused on paint, repair and the backyard, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended April 28, 2012.
First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
- First quarter net sales were $155.0 million compared to $163.8 million in the prior year period. Comparable store sales (1) decreased 3.1%, reflecting softness in outdoor and seasonal merchandise during the period.
- Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $4.5 million compared to net loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
- First quarter Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, below) was $7.5 million compared to $11.2 million in fiscal 2011 and primarily reflects lower year-over-year gross margin, as well as costs associated with being a public company.
Mark Baker, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Although first quarter sales were softer than we expected, we continue to anticipate that comparable stores sales will be positive for the full year. We are increasing our focus on marketing, promotions and customer communication initiatives designed to drive traffic and sales. Additionally, our team is continuing to execute on our turnaround initiatives, including new store openings, remodels and refurbishments to enhance the store portfolio and leverage Orchard's strong local market presence and 80-year history."
Balance Sheet and Cash FlowAs of April 28, 2012, inventories totaled $173.4 million compared to $178.6 million at April 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter were $22.4 million. The Company generated $2.9 million of cash from operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Additionally, the Company completed the sale of land and a sale-leaseback transaction during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, generating $6.6 million of net proceeds, $2.5 million of which were used to repay debt. As of quarter-end, total debt and capital lease obligations was $266.0 million.

Ipad stands
I just found a cool ipad stand, is like the stands they are displayed on in the store, but made of wood. It looks much better than the pic they have of it on the website.

Er...it's a block of wood. And a colour swatch for fence stain. And it's $59.99 plus shipping. I'll pass.

Looks like a wooden version (ripoff) of the clear plastic (or glass?) pedestals that they use for displaying the iPad at the Apple store......

Does anyone know of a good stand which will hold the iPad in both the vertical and horizontal position? I can't seem to find a good one. The ones i can find are just vertical, how are people finding it? Is it enough to just have it vertical? It would be nice to know as these ones can charge as well.
Thanks in advance.

Google Skadoosh Stand for iPad. Getting some good reviews and currently at a promotional price for a limited time (apparently). Also look for Griffin A Frame for iPad - works in both horizontal and portrait modes.

I got a 5 dollar A-frame stand from Target. I have yet to find anything significantly superior to it.

I have created an accessory tab on the spreadsheet for BAGS/CASES/SLEEVES...only made sense: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...nV2p5eHc&hl=en
I tried an A frame at a store, for like a plate...even when I went to a 5x7, it was too wobbly.
For the house, I am currently using two 5x7 picture frames held together with a big band. Actually, it is three 5x7 frames...one of the original ones got cut down to make the level. I like it because it works in multiple positions, with the usb cord plugged in. The problem is that it is not portable.
Not all acrylic frames are created equal...some are too thin. I tried some I had around the house...and came up with some older, thicker (bends less). I have yet to make it Target to see what they have. I want something that will fold up and slide in my netbook bag.
Here is a link to a list of some acrylic frames:

the picture of it is crap, it is much nicer than it looks, but yes is like the stand at the store. I like it anyway, looks good on my desk

My homemade stand
This is what I have come up with so far...
Other pictures:
I had several of the acrylic frames around the house. They are not all created equal...some are too thin.
So I ended up with the two sturdiest I had. As you might be able tell, I inverted one to be the front side. Inside of the open end that is facing downward, I took part of a third stand, which was actually a flimsy original I tried with, and I cut it down to make a little lip. I even notched the lip to allow for the plug to not be bent.
Because of the design of the incase grip, the lip was only kind of necessary as the grip and gravity kept the pad in place for the most part. But it would slide...and end up making contact with the USB cord.
The way the design works now, I can easily rotate from vertically, to horizontal, to fully inerted, and the pad fits perfectly.
Now if can just make 100k of them. I haven't been able to find this exact version of 5/7 acrylic frame. It is not like the bent acrylic that are more common. I actually tried several bent acrylic but they were all too flimsy and the wrong angle. This particular one is the type that will allow a photo to stand straight up.
I just wish it would be portable. I shopped several stores looking for something that would be ideal to carry around and be available for use. I loke my grip...and bag to carry it with...but it would be nice to have a portable stand.
I tried some a fram picture holders, but they were too flimsy.
Tonight, I came up wih an idea. I am going to use a slim DVD case...and attach a bar inside of it to keep it open at the eact right angle. I like the idea of the slim DVD case...very light, then enough, and can even be used to hold paper, etc. Now I just need to figure out a way to keep it open at that exact angle as you see in the last picture.

I have thought about trimming one of the feet of the back off (the underside)...that would then give me two angles but still allow for an extened lip. But, as it is, I haven't ruined either straight up acrylic frame. I did just notice this morning that one of the sturdier ones open at the top...and the other at the bottom as I made another one for the kitchen...for when cooking, etc.
All kinds of options.
I see you have a pretty cool case. One thing I am curious about...not just with yours...but lots of others...why go all the way to the edge of the screen? Like, instead of have a 1" front bezel...why not make it 1/2"? This would allow better access to the edge of the screen...especially with something like SB settings that is accessed by sliding across the top edge...that could easily be on any side.

History will laud Stern for his vision on a sure bet
For the millions of Americans who gamble on sports, predominantly with illegal bookmakers or nefarious Web sites, the arrival of NBA All-Star Weekend to Las Vegas is equivalent to the Berlin Wall coming down.
The NBA, NFL and other pro leagues have become multi-billion dollar industries in no small part because of the passion created by gambling. The relationship is nurtured by the leagues who feed out the daily injury reports that keep the point spreads honest.
In public, however, the same leagues equate gambling to a parasite and claim to wish that sports betting never existed -- knowing full well their leagues wouldn't be nearly so popular if that wish came true.
All of that is about to change. I'm betting 50 years from now the groundwork being laid this week by commissioner David Stern, which will ultimately produce an NBA team in Las Vegas, will go down as one of the most important and innovative moves of his career. It will spike interest in his league, make his owners richer than ever and change the way all pro sports are run in this country.
Stern has long maintained he would have nothing to do with Las Vegas so long as the local sports books accepted wagers on NBA games. That changed in 2004 (around the time SI was preparing a story that predicted Las Vegas would receive a pro sports team within the decade) when, according to a senior league official, the NBA began looking informally into Las Vegas as a potential site for All-Star Weekend. The same idea would occur to Joe and Gavin Maloof, the owners of the Sacramento Kings as well as the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. With Stern's endorsement, they arranged for the local sports books to take the 2007 All-Star Game off the board.
But the key point here, as the official insists, is the NBA had already been considering a relationship with Las Vegas.
The NBA understood putting its showcase event in Las Vegas would open the door for a team to relocate there. Las Vegas is one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, with a bottomless clientele of hotel-casinoes to buy up the suites as giveaways for its most lucrative customers, and high-rollers who will pay for the courtside seats and luxury amenities that drive NBA revenues these days. That's a huge consideration: Unlike the NFL, which makes most of its money from national TV contracts, the majority of team revenue in the NBA still comes from the gate, and especially the most expensive seats nearest the court.
Now that Stern has altered his position on Las Vegas, conceding publicly for the first time this week he must essentially let his owners decide whether a team should play there, you can be sure the NBA will be moving to Las Vegas soon. (Insiders maintain relocation by an existing franchise is far more likely than expansion.) "They'd like to put five teams there,'' jokes the NBA senior official.
On Wednesday Stern invited Mayor Oscar Goodman to come up with a compromise on sports betting that would further encourage an NBA team to move to Las Vegas.
With revenues plateauing, NBA owners will welcome the shot of fresh revenue and energy Las Vegas will provide. But I don't think they realize the enormous possibilities that should go with their new appraisal of sports betting.
Let's say the NBA compromises with the city on a pro version of the UNLV rule, in which the Vegas sports books will agree to take games involving the local NBA team off their boards -- though wagers on other NBA games would be permitted. That rule will be a temporary measure. In a few years it will probably go away, just as the original UNLV rule did in 2001 when the authorities realized it served no purpose. There has been no hint of scandal in the six years UNLV games have been on the board.
The byproduct of putting a team in Las Vegas will be a wiser and ultimately more profitable approach to sports gambling.
It is true people should worry about the effects of sports gambling in cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Miami -- everywhere except Las Vegas. In those other cities, sports betting is illegal. It goes unpoliced. It is a threat understood by everyone and discussed openly by no one.
Las Vegas is the one major city that deals with sports betting head-on. A staff of 100 agents from Gaming Control Board polices sports betting in Nevada. In 1994 they helped expose a basketball point-shaving scheme at Arizona State.
You cannot get rid of sports gambling. (The leagues themselves obviously don't want to get rid of something that generates so much interest in their product.) Those who maintain that gambling is a threat ought to do something about it. They should legalize it so that they can police it, as Las Vegas has done.
And then they can tax it. Of the $2 billion wagered legally on sports in Nevada in 2002, the sports books made $111 million profit and paid $6.8 million in taxes to local government. Other states around the country would gladly collect that kind of money without any kind of moral or ethical complaint -- after all, 48 states currently oversee lotteries or other forms of non-sports gambling.
The NBA will inevitably confront these issues as it marries itself to America's gambling capital. It's about time somebody took a new, enlightened approach to sports betting, because the subject has been ignored for too many years.
In the English Premier League, the top soccer league in the world, you can bet on the game just before you see it. The betting window is in the stadium. Years ago I went to see Chelsea play Tottenham Hotspurs in London.At one concession window I bought a hot chocolate, then walked 10 feet to the next window and bet 2 quid somebody in particular (I think it was Juergen Klinsmann) would score the first goal for Spurs, even though he was getting low odds.
In return the NBA will reap plentiful rewards. Imagine the potential consequences if the NBA realizes sports betting is a less dangerous threat if it is legalized. If the NBA becomes the first league to permit betting on its games, I guarantee you the league's popularity will shoot up. (Why do you think March Madness is so popular? Don't you think it has something to do with the betting pools?) People that didn't care about the Grizzlies against the Hornets will suddenly have a personal interest now that they've put $10 on the game. As the idea of betting on pro basketball gains acceptance, more states will want to accept bets on NBA games in order to generate tax revenue.
In the end new fans will be created for a league that currently appears to have maximized its revenue potential. And nobody will complain the new fans are bettors, just as nobody complains about the teenagers who like the NBA because of the XBox video games or the office workers whose interest grows out of an NBA fantasy league.
As for those who assume Stern will be embarrassed by having to deal with sports betting after decrying it for so many years, think again. He went to a lot of trouble to bring the All-Star Game to Las Vegas. He knew what he was doing. He is growing his league by creating a new stream of fans and revenue.
If betting is permitted on NBA games, Stern will serve as the perfect transitional leader heading into the new era. He will declare himself a puritan who was against the idea but gave in to the wisdom of his owners, and as such he will preside over his players, coaches and referees like a hanging judge, the Kenesaw Mountain Landis of his day. He will promise to do everything he can to make sure his league remains untainted by gambling -- and it will be an easier promise to keep, knowing he'll have more police than ever investigating this issue.
The other leagues are going to be left behind on this issue, and I think it is going to hurt them.
Fifty years from now, when everyone looks back and wonders how we ever could have been so uptight about something so natural as betting on a sporting event, David Stern is going to look very, very smart.

I've been training my partner to do my keywording and uploading to stock libraries, but the old iBook she's been using only has a 30GB hard drive, and so is not up to the task. We could get a MacBook for her to use, but we need to buy a netbook to use whilst we're traveling and hotdesking in cafes, so would be happier to just buy one of those if it could be used for the task of keywording and uploading to our stock sites. It would also be useful if it could run Lightroom, as that is what we do our keywording in.
Any thoughts? Anyone using one for this purpose? I

Curious for any feedback from those using a netbook in the field. I'm considering an Asus to run PhotoMechanic and Photoshop (Elements to keep it minimal). But don't know if those two apps would overpower the netbook.
I'm shooting raw and editing in Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS3. I've got 2gb of ram, but I'm regretting not putting in a larger hard drive. It came with an 80gb drive, but I think you can get one now with a larger drive. Storage space aside, I'm really happy with this machine. Lightroom can lag a bit (takes a couple seconds to load an image while editing) when it's creating previews, but on the whole the performance is pretty good.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
I do know that a number of people are running Lightroom in their netbooks without material problems. And mine has three USB ports, so getting significant storage by attaching an external "pocket" drive such as a Passport (WD) or a FreeAgentGo (Seagate) is not a problem.
So for me my netbook is a great field computer (and I just schlepped the thing all over Vietnam…lots lighter than my regular laptop!).

LOS ANGELES – Inside the cavernous building with the grungy pink exterior, Ellis Yunseong Cha squints out through metal bars at the traffic zooming on Florence Avenue.
The cars are a blur, but Cha's memory of this place is clear.
Twenty years ago, he ran a furniture store in this building, in this South Los Angeles neighborhood, just 1.5 miles away from the flash point for one of the worst urban riots in U.S. history.
Not much has changed, he says. The city has put up some signs to designate the area a "Furniture and Decorative Arts District," but otherwise the neighborhood still bears the signs of economic struggle and the omnipresent threat of crime.
Cha, 59, was luckier than many merchants. His furniture store, and the mattress factory he owned nearby, weren't touched during the days of violence that some prefer to call "civil unrest." In particular, he remembers a woman he called "Sister," a Korean immigrant like himself. Her hamburger stand, a couple of blocks from this building – a place he frequented regularly – was torched.
So too was his sense of place, and the sense of security he'd felt as an immigrant working to improve his economic lot in his adopted country.
"The Rodney King case, the riots, got me all mixed up," he says. "Where am I? What am I supposed to be?"
Cha, who lived in Anaheim at the time, soon sold his factory and leased out his store. Before 1992 ended, he bought ABC Liquor & Mini Mart in Orange across the street from the Crystal Cathedral. He is still there.
Cha is reluctant to improve his Florence Avenue property. His tenant sublets the forlorn space for Victory Outreach church services and weddings. Sunday afternoons, he stages Lucha Libre wrestling matches, a reflection of the neighborhood's demographic shift from predominantly black to Hispanic.
Weeds push through cracks in sidewalks lined by a hodgepodge of small shops – beauty salons, used auto lots, dry cleaners, fried chicken and hamburger joints. In nearby neighborhoods, the homes are protected with bars on the windows and security doors.
"When I think about doing something, the riot is still here," Cha says, pointing to his head. "It's like building a castle in the sand – it can be blown away. Driving down the street, it doesn't look safe."
Cha instead found a way to reinvent himself and to start building the kind of community relationships that didn't exist in the world he fled.
That's what brought him back to South Los Angeles a few days before the 20th anniversary of what Korean immigrants refer to as "Sa-i-Gu," or 4-29.
Cha was in downtown Los Angeles on April 29, 1992, having a couple of beers with his lawyer to celebrate a victory in a lawsuit. At 3:15 p.m., the TV riveted his lawyer's attention.

WASHINGTON — Software companies that make cellphone apps are being investigated to determine whether they have violated the privacy rights of children by quietly collecting personal information from phones and sharing it with advertisers and data brokers, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday. Such apps can capture a child's physical location, phone numbers of their friends and more.
The FTC described the marketplace for mobile applications — dominated by online stores operated by Apple and Google — as a digital danger zone with inadequate oversight. In a report prepared by the FTC's own experts, it said the industry has grown rapidly but failed to ensure the privacy of young consumers is adequately protected.
Of the 400 apps designed for kids examined by the FTC, most failed to inform parents about the types of data the app could gather and who could access it, the report said. Others apps contained advertising that most parents would find objectionable and included links to Facebook, Twitter and other social media services where kids post information about themselves.
The report said some mobile apps can siphon data to invisible and unknown third parties that could be used to develop a detailed profile of a child without a parent's knowledge or consent.
The FTC also said it was investigating whether any of the software companies that produce apps engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices, which would be illegal.
In one case, an app that allows children to paint pictures and save them in an online photo gallery didn't indicate that it includes advertising. But investigators said the app ran an ad across the bottom of the screen for an online dating service that said, See 1000+ Singles.
The agency is considering major changes to a 1998 law, Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, that would impose tougher online safeguards for children under 13.

Dem AG Candidates Try to Get Primary Voters' Attention
Around the State
With a month until the primary, the two Democrats looking to topple Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi are picking up the pace, even as a recent poll shows most likely primary voters have no idea who they are.
Democrats are tuning out of the primary race to see who challenges Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in November, a new poll finds.
A poll from Gravis Marketing and conservative magazine Human Events released over the weekend shows the overwhelming majority of likely Democratic primary voters -- 67 percent -- remain unsure of who they will vote for to challenge Bondi. The primary will be on Aug. 26.
Former DCF Secretary George Sheldon, who ran for attorney general in 2002 after serving as then-Attorney General Bob Butterworth's deputy, takes 18 percent in the poll. Florida House Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, garners 15 percent.
"The race is a clear tossup. With a whopping two-thirds of the respondents unsure of who to vote for, the race is clearly up for grabs," said Doug Kaplan of Gravis.
The poll of 792 likely Democratic primary voters was taken from July 23-24 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.
Sheldon took to the airwaves this week as he tries to make a splash in the primary. On Monday, he released a radio ad in which he attacks Bondi's record.
"Pam Bondi repeatedly looks the other way when corporations and her big contributors try to rip off Floridians," the narrator of the ad says. "If big companies want a favor from Bondi, she takes their money then cues the crickets."
Sheldon continued that theme in a video released on Tuesday. In the video, he says Bondi's "contract shouldn't be renewed" and, if he had any confidence in her, he would not have entered the race.
Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.
Thurston, on the other hand, has been hitting various forums and Democratic events around the state in recent days. Reeling in the backing of a former colleague in the House, Thurston announced last week that Mayor Rick Kriseman endorsed him.
In the meantime, Bondi continues to unveil the support of the business community's leadership. Earlier this month, the Florida Home Builders Association and the Florida Chamber of Commerce endorsed Bondi's re-election efforts.
"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the primary advocate for businesses in the Sunshine State," said Bondi after she won their endorsement. "In addition to the economic benefit that businesses bring to communities, many businesses in Florida have gone above and beyond in becoming vital partners in the state's efforts to address the human trafficking problem we are fighting. I look forward to the ongoing collaboration my office shares with the chamber and the business community."
Besides the organizational support, Bondi has a huge lead over foes in the money chase, having raised almost $1.5 million by July 18, using almost $900,000 of in-kind donations and spending less than $129,200. Sheldon had raised more than $285,850 but spent more than $268.725 of that by July 18. Thurston had raised less than Sheldon -- barely $169,850 -- but had more on hand since he spent less, having spent $85,117.
In the meantime, Tallahassee attorney Bill Wohlsifer, the Libertarian nominee, continues to showcase his support for the legalization of marijuana.
"There will be a huge demand for marijuana and industrial hemp in Florida's future," Wohlsifer noted on Monday. "Don't let the Legislature close you out of it ... I will do all I can to shape MMJ and future hemp growth, processing, sale and distribution into open-market competitive industries."
So far, Wohlsifer has raised $12,130, relies on $7,200 in loans and $7,325 of in-kind donations, and spent around $18,870.

Alleged screenshot from LG G3 reveals flat Android UI
Alleged screenshot captured from the yet to be announced LG G3 made the rounds online. The screen capture reveals that the next version of LGs proprietary Android user interface will feature a flat look.
Alleged LG G3 screenshot (click to enlarge)
Should the new Android UI debut with the LG G3, the Korean manufacturer will join the likes of Apple and Samsung in offering the increasingly popular design. Apple introduced the flat user experience with iOS 7, while Samsung revamped its TouchWiz UI in a similar fashion in the Galaxy S5.
LG G3 is expected to debut next month, on May 17. Rumored specs of the smartphone include 5.5 display with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC.

Japan's lower house approves doubling sales tax
TOKYO Japan's lower house voted Tuesday to double the country's sales tax to 10 percent over three years in a bid to rein in a bulging national deficit as an aging population burdens the nation's social security system.
The vote, however, may have weakened Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's grip on power as the measure faced strong opposition from a group within the ruling party led by power broker Ichiro Ozawa that believes the tax hike is premature and will further weaken the economy. Ozawa and his supporters have threatened to bolt the party over the tax issue.
The bill passed easily by a vote of 363-96, with support coming from the two biggest opposition parties. The tax bill still must pass the less powerful upper house to become law, which is expected.
It calls for raising the sales tax from 5 percent to 8 percent in 2014, and then to 10 percent in 2015.
Noda, who has been in power only since last September, has said the tax hike is needed to reduce Japan's bulging national debt, which is more than twice its gross domestic product. He has made the tax move the centerpiece of his efforts to tackle Japan's structural woes.
Finance Minister Jun Azumi said he hoped the vote would send a message to the world that Japan is dealing with its economic problems. "I think this shows the international community that although we had been criticized as indecisive, we are taking action," he said.
Japan was hit hard by last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami but has been sputtering for years with a stagnant economy and under one of the largest public debt burdens in the developed world. The country's aging population, meanwhile, has put a strain on the social security and tax systems, with Japanese aged 65 and older now making up about a quarter of the nation's population - a figure projected to rise to 40 percent by 2050.
"This reform is not just for our generation, but for our future," Noda declared before the vote.
But even Noda's government projects the step will take only a modest bite out of Japan's deficit. The Cabinet Office forecasts that doubling the sales tax will boost revenues by 13.5 trillion yen ($170 billion) annually by 2015. Japan currently runs a deficit of about 45 trillion yen ($563 billion) a year.
Some economists warn that the tax hike will end up undermining Japan's economy by weakening consumer demand at a time when wages are stagnant and people are already holding back on spending. Key auto and electronics exporters, meanwhile, have been battered by a strong yen and intensifying competition from Asian rivals.
While last year's tsunami disaster has made many Japanese more willing to make sacrifices to help their country recover, they are concerned over how the higher taxes will affect their personal finances.
"The tax hike will bring about another headwind to the economy, which is weaker consumption," said Hiromichi Shirakawa, Credit Suisse's chief Japan economist. Shirakawa argued that the tax hike will end up dragging on economic growth and erode income taxes and corporate taxes, thus worsening Japan's debt burden over time. He said that instead, the government should focus on ways to cut public spending and bolster the economy, and then raise the sales tax.

Distinguished Harris Lecture
2014-2015 Distinguished Harris Lecture
David Joselit
Distinguished Professor, Art History, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Pick-Laudati Auditorium
Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art
40 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston
This event is free and open to the public.
Heritage and Debt
Debt is a financial and a moral force in global relations, which has its analogue in the visual—it arises when the migration of western art practices outside metropolitan centers is condemned as derivative, or indebted to their inventors. One means of "paying" this debt is by accessing and reinvigorating local traditions—or heritage. Hence, heritage and contemporaneity are far from opposing terms, but rather qualities that must be reconciled within individual works of art in order for them to circulate as global.
David Joselit's art-historical work has approached the history and theory of image circulation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from a variety of perspectives, spanning Marcel Duchamp's strategy of the readymade, in which commodities are reframed as artworks, to the mid-twentieth ecology of television, video art, and media activism, and the current conditions of contemporary art under dual pressures of globalization and digitization.
Working as a curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, during the 1980s, Joselit co-organized several exhibitions that helped to define the art of that decade, including Endgame: Reference and Simulation in Recent Painting and Sculpture (1986). He taught in the Department of Art History and Ph.D. Program in Visual Studies at University of California–Irvine from 1995 to 2003, and at Yale University from 2003 to 2013, where he served as Department Chair from 2006 to 2009.
Joselit's art criticism has spanned all visual media and recently has engaged extensively with contemporary painting. He is author of Infinite Regress: Marcel Duchamp 1910–1941 (MIT Press, 1998), American Art Since 1945 (Thames and Hudson, World of Art Series, 2003), Feedback: Television Against Democracy (MIT Press, 2007), and After Art (Princeton University Press, 2012), and he is a contributing author to the second edition of Art Since 1900 (Thames and Hudson, 2011). He is an editor of the journal OCTOBER and a frequent contributor to Artforum. - See more at: http://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Doctoral-Programs/Art-History/Faculty-Bios/David-Joselit#sthash.263ILiSe.dpuf

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Because of limitations on the number of matches high school wrestlers are able to participate in each season, it was only within the last six years that Punxsy saw its first 100-win wrestler in Matt Means, who graduated in 2006. Means finished his career with 110 wins.
Last year, 2011 graduate Kody Young joined Means in the 100-win club and surpassed Means' win total to become the winningest wrestler in PAHS history with 144 individual victories.
This season, two Punxsy grapplers joined the 100-win club, in seniors Neko Cappella and Seth Spack.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Last Saturday, fifth-grade basketball teams from Indiana, Homer City, Brookville, Purchase Line and Butler traveled to Punxsutawney for the fifth-grade elementary basketball tournament hosted by SS.C.D. and the Punxsutawney Community Center.
A pair of Punxsy teams competed, one in the boys' division and one in the girls'.
The girls' team finished with a 3-1 record, with its only loss coming to Ligonier Valley.
Punxsy started the tournament with an 8-6 victory over Indiana Saturday morning.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — After Thursday's examination of the lightweight seedings and anticipated matchups for the District IX Individual Championships, which will be held at Clarion University Saturday, today's edition of Spirit Sports examines the other end of the spectrum: The heavyweights.
Three of the four Chucks wrestlers in the top six weight classes enter the tournament as seniors, knowing this will be their last run to states, and overall, Punxsy head coach Eric Eddy anticipates and hopes for big things from his big men.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — While many children dream of one day playing in the NCAA's March Madness, known as the "Big Dance," most will never reach that level.
What took place this week at PAHS, the boys' elementary tournament, gives the children a taste of what it's like to take center stage just as the college players do every March.
This year's tournament, coached by the varsity and JV players and put on by the boys' basketball coaches from all levels, was a glaring success and concluded with five games Thursday night.
Sixth-grade: Penn State 34, Ohio State 14
I used to be Kobe Bryant in my driveway. And Michael Jordan. And Shaquille O'Neal, who I really didn't like all that much.
Whether it was because I lived out in the country, or that I just didn't have enough real friends, I used to play one-on-one basketball in my driveway... against myself... with two-man teams.
I liked Kobe and MJ back then, so the "team" I always wanted to win consisted of those two players.
The rules were simple.
Since I was the only player, and I was lazy, I never had to take the ball back to the three-point line.

With a little hindsight, I would now consider this ride as going through the backdoor to this region. With a counterclockwise, east to north then west orientation, it's a bit more interesting to me. Most folks seem to drop in through Chihuahua and hit the larger, tourista areas first. This route brings you in to the region and backwoods before you ride through those areas. It gives me a lot of appreciation for CeeBee blazing this path.....
In fact, I would really enjoy his original route of riding south through Baja, ferrying across from La Paz to Topolobampa then riding Barrancas del Cobre and leaving to the north.......Who's IN........?............
What timeline are you thinking of? I know CeeBee, just don't remember the ride your referring to...... it's probably in my head someplace.
Well, Baja, Mexico, cheap cervesa, ...... humm, where's the down side of this.
