Q. Should we call you Dr. Coach Phil Jackson now with this great accomplishment or some other accolade?
PHIL JACKSON: No, it's just fine just the way it is, thank you.
Q. Your team started strong, they stayed strong with the Jazz, then Houston, then Denver and now you've finished strong winning the championship in Orlando. Talk about the strength of yourself and the team.
PHIL JACKSON: We went into the playoffs and we thought that we'd helped ourselves by getting Andrew Bynum back again to give us some depth at the interior part of our game, shot blocking, rebounding, size wise, and we came into Utah, Utah played us the last game of the season, so we had a look at them. They lost Okur, one of their steady ball players, one of the few three point shooters for centers in the league, and it changed up how we were able to play that series a little bit and got ourselves through that series quickly. That was a benefit for us.
Houston was a different story altogether. They were fast, they were very driven, team ball play, they did a good job in spacing out the court, getting accomplished what they wanted to do. They had two defenders to throw at Kobe in Artest and Battier, and so they were a really worthy opponent, pushed us to seven games. I thought that really made us the team that we got to be in the playoffs. We understood what we had to get accomplished, and we did the job from that time forward, played good basketball.
Denver was physical and quick. They're an elite team. They played extremely well at the end of the year, and we were able to come back after a 2 2 start in that series and finish them off.
This obviously was a game we expect tonight, to be honest with you. I thought we'd have to struggle a little bit. We got a run in the second period and were able to get some distance and play our game from then on.
Q. I asked you before the game tonight about the historic aspects of it, and I know you were a bit reluctant to talk about that. Can you take a step back now? You have done something no coach has ever done, won more championships than any coach in NBA history. What does that mean to you? And can you talk about the historical significance of it?
PHIL JACKSON: I can, but I'd like to say that it's really about the players; it's about Kobe Bryant, about Derek Fisher's leadership of the team. I tried to take them through some of the build up things that we had to do last year as a basketball club. They came together this year and were self motivated, and for a coach that's always a positive sign. When a team is ready, they're aggressive, their learning curve is high, and they wanted to win. I've always felt as a coach you have to push your team, and I told them they had to push themselves. I wasn't at the stage of my life where I could get out and do the things that I had done 10 years ago or 15 years ago to push a team. And they pushed themselves, and I really feel strongly that this is about them.
However, having won ten championships is a remarkable accomplishment, there's no doubt about it. Watching those games clicked down, and a championship of all different forms and fashions, on the road, at home, players that vault themselves into team play is a remarkable thing to have watched.
I think I've always said this before, the journey is what's really important, and it's important for the players and the coaches to watch these kids come together and form a unit and be supportive of each other, and this was no exception, this team.
Q. On a night you passed Red Auerbach, would it be hard for you to not think of your Coach Red Holzman in the days leading up to this? And would you imagine he probably would really enjoy watching you pass the other Red?
PHIL JACKSON: Well, he took a lot of pride in his coach Les Harrison, who coached the Rochester Royals. I was at the Hall of Fame induction at one point for Walt Frazier, and the two of them came over and said, "You know, you're really our grandson. You're his father and I'm his father, so you're really my grandson." Harrison was obviously one of the founders of the NBA and a great basketball coach in his own right.
So there's a legacy that came that direction with me. But I've had a lot of people that have supported me. Tex Winter, obviously, who's back in Portland recovering from a stroke, and obviously my college coach Bill Fitch, who's a big strong supporter of me over the years, have all been very important in my coaching career.
Q. You've never gone this long between championships. Does that make it a little more important, maybe impressive in your book?>

Q+A: What If Baby Cries on a Plane?
Q. My husband and I are going to Florida, and it'll be the first time our son, 3 1/2 months, is on a plane. I'm having such anxiety about how others will react if he cries. What do I say to people if he cries uncontrollably?
A. Good news: I doubt you have as much to worry about as you think; you've likely built this up into a bigger deal than it needs to be. Your son is only 3 1/2 months old. I've got a 5- and a 3-year-old to corral in airports and entertain and feed on flights, so from my perspective flying with an infant is a relative piece of cake. Nine times out of 10, they either nurse or take a bottle, then fall asleep for the duration of the flight, or at least a huge chunk of it. Maybe it's the thrum of the engines. I flew with my older son when he was your son's age. The only problem I had was that he slept in my arms for four straight hours and cut off my circulation! And even if your son does act up (if the pressure gets to his ears and the breast or bottle doesn't do the trick), people tend to be much more forgiving of a crying infant than they might be of an older child raising a ruckus. If they do shoot eye daggers at you? Smile warmly, apologize once, then turn your attention back to soothing your child. Getting up and walking up and down the aisle with him can help, especially if he seems bored and understimulated. But don't get flustered -- this will only make things worse. If it gets really bad, you can offer to buy your seatmate a drink.

Techies ponder computers smarter than usposted by Dark0ne Game NewsMove along if you're looking for gaming or Elder Scrolls news here, this ones just something that interested me.
Yahoo! News have a small article up on a recent event in San Fracisco, dubbed "The Singularity Summit: AI and the Future of Humanity" where the thought of near-future computers being smarter than humans is exciting some people. Interestingly, some nerds also predict a date for this event: 2029.
Amusingly, I'm pretty sure my computer is smarter than some of the folks I know, and certainly some of the people who have posted (or still post; no names!) on the forums. Looks like it's 2029 folks.

The Grand Buddha in Rongxian County
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/4/26
The Grand Buddha (Dafo), built in the Tang Dynasty, is 36.67 meters high, carved into a cliff face overlooking the scenery of the whole county. Dafo's head is 8.74 meters long, shouder is 12.67 metres broad, and the insteps, 3.5 meters, is wide enough for a picnic. With its magnificent manner, graceful lines, benign face and romantic charm, it receives the acclaim of "Enjoying the magnificence of Leshan Dafo and appreciating the beauty of Rongxian Dafo".
A building used to shelter the giant statue was crashed down during a Ming Dynasty war. After several renovations, the present protective building shows the visitors all kinds of angels on Buddha. You can go to the top, opposite the head, and then descend to the feet for a Lilliputian perspective.
It would be a mistake to think of Rongxian as one big Buddha. For the Grand Buddha is situated in a monastery, Dafo Monastery, there are many other Chinese traditional monastery buildings, such as the temple for Mother Buddha, the building for arhat, Hall of Sakyamuni, and depository of Buddhist scriptures, ect. The whole buildings group is, in picturesque order, like a goose getting ready for flight.

North County group disputes 'cult' depiction
In 2001, the New York attorney general cracked down on the group for child-labor violations, fining two businesses $2,000.
Rick Ross, who runs a religious watchdog institute in New Jersey, said the group exploits its members.
"People are basically working for room and board. … If you can staff a cafe, a restaurant or a business and have virtually no payroll cost and no benefits, you have basically no overhead, and it is very easy to make a profit," Ross said.
He and others believe that Spriggs is building an empire. The Boston Herald reported in 2001 that Spriggs leads a lavish lifestyle, "bedding down in palatial homes in southern France, Brazil and Cape Cod while his followers lead humble lives of hard work in his many businesses."
Cult awareness activist Steven Hassan of Somerville, Mass., said the group used to set up first-aid tents at Grateful Dead concerts to lure drugged-out youths.
"I think any group that says its leader is the sole prophet of God on Earth and he understands the Bible better than anyone else … is a problem," Hassan said.
"They want total commitment. They want you to turn over your money and your property and your free will."
Twelve Tribes spokeswoman Jean Wiseman said allegations that the group is a cult are "untrue and pure gossip."
"We own what we own and share it with our friends voluntarily," Wiseman said. "Yoneq makes no salary either. Our needs are met according to the most pressing need, as commanded by Scripture."

I"d back off that statement about "ripping" every rallyball as hard as you can swing, but aim to a safer spot idea. That is really blind tennis.
Even in young, fit, athletic kids, some rip like Courier, but other's message and feel like Gilbert, Rios, and Mecir.
Don't make the mistake of insisting every player has the same mentality or physical determination to just rip the ball every time.
I know the idea of simply swing hard and getting it in sounds romantic and a reachable goal, but it really is a fantasy for most players.
This coming from an old fart with rotator cuff problems on both shoulders and no ability to run.
I'm going to be 50 in a couple of days and I take a pretty serious rip at rally balls for exactly the reason that 5263 says. I'm hitting hard, lots of pace and spin, hitting to areas but not intentionally going for lines, usually cross court, and just trying to get get my opponent to cough up something I can attack. Being able to take that big cut but maintain a reasonable level of consistency has been my mission for the last couple of years. It's been slowly getting there. I can definitely look back a year and see the improvement. I'm fortunate to have a couple of guys that I play with who can really push me.
Everything still works. I haven't injured myself yet.

A quiet haunted man, Paul Cable walked away from a lost cause hoping to pick up where he left off. But things have changed in Arizona since he first rode out to go fight for the Confederacy. Two brothers—Union men—have claimed his spread and they're not about to give it back, leaving Cable and his family no place to settle in peace. It seems this war is not yet over for Paul Cable. But no one's going to take away his land and his future—not with their laws, their lies, or their guns.
Elmore John Leonard, Jr., popularly known as mystery and western writer Elmore Leonard, was born in New Orleans on October 11, 1925. English was an early favorite subject and Leonard earned a Ph.D. in the subject from the University of Detroit in 1950. Prior to enrolling in college, Leonard served in the United States Naval Reserve from 1943 to 1946. Leonard wrote short stories and western novels as well as advertising and education film scripts. One of his most famous early short stories, "3:10 to Yuma," a western, was adapted to film in 1967. Leonard continued to publish both westerns and crime novels throughout the coming decades. In 1967, he began to write fulltime and received such awards as the 1977 Western Writers of America award and the 1984 Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe award. His novel Hombre was judged one of the top 25 all-time westerns by the Western Writers of America. It was later adapted to film, starring Paul Newman. In both his westerns and mystery crime novels Leonard often chooses as his main character a person seemingly reserved who eventually seeks justice openly and concretely. Elmore Leonard has been married twice, to Beverly Claire Cline in 1949 and then to Joan Leanne Lancaster in 1979. He has two daughters and three sons. Leonard successfully conquered alcoholism in the 1970s; details of his struggle with the bottle appear in author Dennis Wholey's 1986 book The Courage to Change.

Be Glad the 'Mad Men' Season Is Over!
Maybe we need some time apart from Don
The breathlessly anticipated Mad Men Season Four finale-extravaganza has finally aired, and as soon as America's equally breathless postmortem has finished ("Seriously? Megan?" "I LOVE KEN COSGROVE," "Betty Draper is another Hitler"), our nine-month period of national mourning will commence, until that stifling August night when the newborn Season Five emerges from Matthew Weiner's ever-fertile, meticulously vintage-sourced womb. While this period of silent gestation may indeed be bleak, forcing us to focus our lonely, hungover Sunday nights on nothing more compelling than Boardwalk Empire, let's try to look on the bright side: There are also a few very good reasons to be thankful for our collective leave of absence from the firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
1. A Break From Don Breaking Up With Smart Awesome Jewesses. I hate to get all Hubbell/Katie on this; I'm not Carrie Bradshaw. But the demises of Rachel Mencken (although that was really her decision) and Bobbie Barrett were hard enough. Now with the fall of the lovely Dr. Faye Miller, I'm feeling a little dejected. Do we always have to lose out to the uncomplicated shikses, even if the prize is a workaholic, alcoholic, deception-prone, serial womanizer? Can't a nice Jewish girl get a break?
2. The End of Trend Pieces about Christina Hendricks's "Curves." Look, I am one of the few people on Earth who isn't a Joan fan, but I imagine that even her most ardent defenders are tired of article after article that seem to treat the body of the woman who plays her as a strange and miraculous hybrid of Helen of Troy and Dottie the circus Fat Lady. How long before she gets so sick of having "voluptuous," "Rubenesque," and other "We think you're kind of fat but we wouldn't kick you out of bed" signifiers tacked on to her name that she loses 30 pounds and no one cares about her anymore? Wouldn't it be nice if her dress size merited no attention at all?
3. No More Condscending Blog Posts/Internet Comments Proclaiming "Betty Draper Is a Child." Betty Draper Francis is not a child. Betty Draper Francis is an adult, and the ugly truth is that most adults, except on very good days, often behave like children. If acting like an adult means owning up to your mistakes and/or taking responsibility for your own happiness, then nobody on Mad Men, with the possible exception of the inimitable Ken Cosgrove, would qualify. Also, all the people who mention Betty's interaction with childhood items—dollhouses, Sally's bedroom—forgets that Betty is the only major character on this show who ever has to interact at any length of time with actual children. Betty is spoiled, petty, vindictive, short-sighted, blinkered, and often a prize bitch. But that, in the world of this show, is what makes her a grown-up.
4. Maybe Now They Will Start Making Nice Purses Again That Can Fit Actual Things In Them. I have enjoyed all the latest Mad Men fashions from Paris as much as the next hopeless shopaholic. But I also have a Blackberry, a cosmetic bag, about 500 out-of-date dry cleaning slips, three paperbacks, a notebook, a variety of crumpled magazines, a fine dusting of loose tobacco and tampon lint, and an enormous wallet full of maxed-out charge cards that I must carry around with me at all times. We can't all be the Queen of England.
5. Another Break, This From the Don Draper/Dick Whitman Tension. I don't know about you, but to me the secret identity of Don Draper has always been the Original Sin of this show: Something that sounds exciting in a pitch meeting but is a struggle to keep going in the show itself. Mad Men has handled it as gracefully as possible, but did we really need a literal hobo/deserter/whoreson/almost-bigamist back story to drive home the point that people's outsides do not always match how they feel inside? Would Don Draper really have been any less compelling a character if he was really Don Draper?
6. No More Invitations To Mad Men Dress-Up Viewing Parties. Dear Friends. I love you very much. But the last thing I want to do is put on Spanx, spike heels, and a full face of makeup to go watch TV on a Sunday night. I've already been doing that all weekend, thanks. Besides, I'm only going to have to watch it all over again as soon as I get home because none of you can stop talking through the whole damn thing anyway.
7. Now We Can Finally Give Boardwalk Empire the Attention It Deserves! Which is about the same amount as it's already getting. I'm sorry. I know it's very expensive and fancy. But I just am having a very hard time with that show.
8. There Is Again a Chance of Getting a Modicum of Work Done. Without approximately 700 different Mad Men recaps to read, write, parse, comment on, criticize, link to, and blog about, coastal workplace productivity is projected to rise at least 75 percent over the next nine months. Ladies and Gentlemen, this could be the economic recovery we've all been waiting for!

Norse Roll In Sectional Opener Over Warriors
February 28, 2012By Gary Andrews of Three Rivers Conference
If anyone had any doubt if Northfield was looking past North Miami to meet Oak Hill Friday night, the Norse erased that thought after the first four minutes of the game, dominating the Warriors 73-34.
North Miami started the scoring on an Ethan Beech jumper before Ryan Givens and Ryan Keaffaber hit layups to give the Norse a 4-2 lead. Beech would hit again to knot the score. After Austin See hit a three pointer to give the Warriors a 7-6 lead, the Norse began to take over. Givens hit another layup to give the Norse the lead and start a 12-0 run to end the quarter. During the run Keaffaber and Collin Dawes hit back to back three pointers to make it 14-7 and ended the quarter with buckets from Keaffaber and Givens to make it 18-7.
The Norse run would not stop at the first quarter buzzer. Northfield would score the first 7 points of the second quarter behind Dawes and Keaffaber to open a 25-7 lead. Paul Hayes would stop that run on a layup before the Norse started their next run, this time 7-0. Chad Glasscock scored 5 of the 7 points, including a three pointer to make it 32-9 with 1:55 to go. North Miami would score the last four points of the quarter, all by Hayes to make it 32-13 at the half.
Chad Glasscock would hit a three to get the third quarter started and then create a steal for a layup to make it 37-13. After a Warrior turn over Keaffaber would connect on a three to push the lead to 40-13. Ty Musselman would then hit a layup for the Warriors when the Norse went on an 8-0 run behind Glasscock, Givens and Keaffaber to make it 48-15 with 3:26 to go. Alex Borse and Paul Hayes hit, followed by two Ty Musselman free throws to make it 48-21. At 52-23 Ryan Keaffaber hit an acrobatic three pointer at the buzzer to give Northfield a 55-23 lead with a quarter to go.
Hayes hit to start the fourth quarter before the Norse would go on one more run. Glasscock hit two free throws to start a 9-0 run that ended with a Keaffaber layup with 4:35 remaining to make it 64-25. Jared Richardson hit a three pointer to make it 64-28 when Northfield scored the next 5 points that ended with a Jon Richardson layup. Tanner Wilcox would score the final bucket of the game, as the Norse dominated 73-34.

You can cook the prawns in the oven for 10-12 mins, they just may not go as golden.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Arrange the chips on a baking tray, drizzle with the oil and season. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden, turning halfway through.
- Mix the prawns in the beaten egg and tip the crumbs onto a plate. Lift the prawns out with a slotted spoon so that any excess egg drains off and toss them in the crumbs with your hands so they are coated. Transfer to a baking tray.
- When the chips have 10 mins to go, heat grill to high. Cook the prawns for 3-5 mins each side, until crisp and cooked through. Serve with the chips, some tartare sauce and lemon wedges, if you like.

I've tried importing both 3ds and dae formatted building into Bryce, but with limited success. The 3ds formats have imported with a few pieces out of place to a bunch of pieces out of place. And the dae formatted buildings import without added textures; the textures are in a separate folder from the model.
So, is there a secret to importing 3ds and dae formated building so they look like they're supposed to?

Thank you Haaretz for updating on this. Israel is to magnificent to hide her from the world! Take care out there, lots of love from chilly Holland! JK
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Google Street View went live in Israel on Friday morning, two days before the official release scheduled for Sunday.
The Google application offers 3-D views of streets around the world based on actual photographs, enabling users to feel as if they're experiencing these locations firsthand.
Within Israel, Google Street View is so far offering images of Gush Dan towns including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. The Google Street View car spent seven months photographing streets in these cities prior to the release.
The Justice Ministry conditioned allowing the Internet giant to upload images of Israel's streets on it automatically blurring out faces of people and license plates.
However, this feature isn't working perfectly, as users noted: Some faces aren't blurred, while images on ads and posters − including models and kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit − are indeed blurred. Take for example the poster outside Tel Aviv's Beit Lessin Theater, above.

The North Carolina legislature plans to cut both the number of weeks of benefits unemployed people are eligible for and the amount they can collect weekly. What's more, that action would cause federal benefits to be cut off for many long-term unemployed people. Acting Secretary of Labor Seth Harris is so disturbed by this prospect he issued a statement ahead of the North Carolina state legislature's final vote on the cuts:
"The North Carolina legislature is considering legislation that would reduce state Unemployment Insurance benefits. If enacted, the legislation also would cut off all federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation—that is, benefits after 26 weeks of unemployment—to 170,000 unemployed North Carolinians. This cutoff is automatic under federal law. I have no discretion to stop it. As a result, families struggling to secure their place in the middle class will suffer a grievous blow, and the state's economy will lose $780 million in federal funds that are vital to reducing North Carolina's high unemployment rate.But anything to avoid the dread raising business taxes, amiright? Then, if North Carolina's economy ever recovers and unemployment is low again, a future legislature can use that as an excuse to cut employer unemployment taxes yet again, while keeping these benefit cuts in place.
"We know that for every dollar spent on Unemployment Insurance benefits, nearly two dollars are generated in the local economy. Unemployed workers and their families spend these benefits in local grocery stores and small businesses, and use them to stay current on mortgage or rent payments and utilities. For these reasons, UI programs are vital to economic growth in difficult times, particularly in states like North Carolina with high unemployment rates."
12:34 PM PT: The state Senate took the next step toward the cuts Tuesday afternoon:
The Senate voted 36-13 in favor of House Bill 4 on second reading. A final vote is expected Wednesday, after which it would need to return to the House for agreement on minor changes.
Gov. Pat McCrory has already said he will sign the bill into law.

Jeans banned at Indian school to curb harassment
More News from Agence France-Presse
NEW DELHI – An Indian college announced on Monday it had banned girls from wearing jeans, short dresses and T-shirts to crack down on sexual harassment, sparking outrage from pupils and rights campaigners.
The Adarsh Women's College in Haryana state, 70 miles (110 kilometers) west of New Delhi, said students would be fined 100 rupees (1.8 dollars) each time they broke the dress code.
"We have imposed a ban on jeans and T-shirts because these are completely Westernized and (so) are short dresses," school head Alaka Sharma told the NDTV news channel.
"The small dresses don't cover students and that is the reason why they have to face eve-teasing."
"Eve-teasing" is a common phrase used in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan to cover offenses ranging from verbal abuse to sexual assault, though it is often criticised as a euphemism that hides serious crime.
"Jeans and short tops invite attraction and also distract the students," Sharma said in a separate interview.
Skinny jeans, T-shirts and other Western fashions have rapidly grown in popularity among young Indians, spreading from cities to rural states such as Haryana, though many older people disapprove of such clothes.
Pupils at the Adarsh college, which teaches girls between 16 and 19, complained that they were being punished unfairly instead of being protected from harassment.
"A ban on wearing jeans and T-shirts doesn't mean that there will be no crimes and boys will not pass lewd comments on you," Ritu, a college student, said.
"Men who want to eve-tease can do it if a girl has donned Indian clothes also. I don't think dressing in Indian attire will bring a change."
Mamata Sharma, head of the National Commission of Women, told reporters that sexual harassment in India could not be tackled by ordering girls to wear saris and other traditional styles of dress.
"Our country is progressing, we have entered into 21st century and it is very disappointing to hear or see such things," she told reporters.
"The government should take action against the college management or such institutions who impose diktats on girls."

Reading an old book can be a very sensual experience. Pick it off the shelves of your study and the aroma of the ageing paper wafts up to you, as do the memories that are tied to it. Your school days, spring cleaning with your family, the leaves you dried between the pages and the friends that you lent it to…a book carries all of these with it. The charm of a book also lies in the fact that it too ages with its owner… Dog ears, torn pages, peeling covers and even the silver fish!
But today and in the future, we are going to be reading books in an entirely different way – digitally. The ebook and its reader are not in the realms of science fiction anymore, nor are they inevitably elitist.
After more than a handful of companies joined the race to digitise our reading experience and the consequent crash in prices happened, the urge to go digital is likely to take over the minds of many more readers.
Will you marry convenience and digital permanence or would you rather stick with the frailty of a paperback? I pondered over that question, with the new Amazon Kindle DX in my hands. How close is it to the experience of reading a real book? Here's what mine felt like.
First Impression
The Kindle DX has a white body with a plastic finish that feels very nice to hold. The device itself is probably as thick as a glossy magazine. Once slipped into the executive-looking leather cover that the Kindle is shipped with, it could easily pass off as a personal diary in your hand; it weighs as much.
The bezel has the Amazon Kindle logo on the top with the 5-way scroll and menu buttons to the left of the panel. The keyboard has keys fit for a baby's fingers! With the space dedicated to the keyboard on the bezel, they could have easily designed slightly bigger keys to make typing easier. Our guess is that this has been done in accordance with Kindle's statement that 'the top design objective was for the Kindle to disappear in your hands'.
The Kindle DX has an inbuilt accelerometer that can be locked in any viewing mode while you read an e-book. When you rotate the unit, the 5-way scroll adjusts itself to the viewing mode and you can navigate through books and menus easily.
The best part about the Kindle DX was the e-ink display. It was nothing short of brilliant and when we say brilliant, for a change, we don't mean impressively backlit with brilliant colours. We mean it's a black-and-white, no-frills display which is as easy on the eyes as reading a book, if not better. Apart from the letters of the alphabet, the keyboard has four special function keys — Caps Key and ALT to the left, and Text Size Key and Symbol key to the right of the space bar.
One feature that will actually save you a lot of fretting and fuming is the Kindle DX's ability to synchronise last page read between devices. Suppose you fell asleep while reading the 16th page of Atlas Shrugged, the next time you open the book on your Kindle or any other device where the Kindle app has been installed for eg. the iPhone or iPad, it'll directly take you to the 16th page when you select that book stored in your unit.
With this feature, the Kindle is ahead of its competitors but the likes of the Barnes and Noble Nook are trying to quickly catch up.
Organising the Home screen is easy if you do it as soon as you transfer a single file from the PC or download it from the Kindle Store. Do not procrastinate because you'll then have a long list of files and categorising each one can be a tedious affair (you can't select multiple files and move them to a folder).
You can create new Collections on the unit, name them to your liking, and move files to these Collections. So you can have one folder containing all books from your favourite author, one for sci-fi novels and another for music or audio books and so on.
You can choose to view your content sorted according to author name, collection name, book title or the most recently chosen file.
You can add a note or highlight only on books purchased from Amazon and not downloaded samples or e-books that you've sourced from elsewhere.
We tried a couple of audio books on the Kindle DX and the audio playback was clear and loud enough to be heard in a book club of ten people or more. There isn't much you can do with audio books except skip forward or rewind the track.
The Kindle DX comes with 4GB memory (3.3GB of which is usable), which, the company claims will allow you to store up to 3,500 books, periodicals and documents. Despite this, an expandable microSD slot would have been a sensible addition, considering most e-readers these days have it.
The wireless connectivity of the Kindle DX was ace. It detected and almost effortlessly connected to a hotspot where even the iPad failed. Connecting to the Kindle Store didn't take long either.
The samples that we downloaded from the Amazon Store were delivered to the device and displayed on the Home screen within minutes of us having chosen it.
With a couple of books downloaded from the Amazon store, we tried the Text-to-Speech option provided. It had three reading speeds and a male and female voice to choose from, but the enunciation was slightly…well, robotic. Also, not all the samples we downloaded had this option.
The battery life of the Kindle DX was very impressive. Running on the extremely low-power consumption display and with the Wireless turned off, the Kindle can easily go on for more than a week without running out of juice. You can either plug it into your computer and charge it via USB or connect it to a socket with the U.S. adapter provided.
Close to 15 e-book readers were introduced last year and about three or four have been launched this year already with the Acer LumiRead L600 being the newest kid on the block. What beats the Kindle DX is the fact that most of the rival companies like Sony Portable Reader ($399), the dual-screen enTourage eDGe($499) and QUE proReader ($799) have a touch screen interface, which makes reading an ebook as close as reading a paperback. Surely, its glaring absence is felt in the Kindle DX.
Although the e-ink makes reading on the device a pleasure, we couldn't help but wonder how beautiful certain magazines would look on the Kindle DX if only it supported colour.
Yes, you also won't be able to read at night with the lights switched off because the Kindle's display isn't backlit. But the absence of a backlight means there's no strain to your eye whatsoever when you read it under ambient light. This is also the reason why you can read the Kindle's display even under direct sunlight.
While the grapevine is rife with rumours of a full-coloured version of the Kindle being worked on, the competition has already been flagged off with Fujitsu pulling the covers off FLEPia — an 8-inch e-reader that displays books and images courtesy a proprietary colour e-paper technology - last year.
Our Verdict
The Kindle DX would have been perfect if only the user interface was touch-based and incorporated a colour display. The spruced-up version of the Kindle DX will be the first to be based on E-ink Pearl that offers about 50 per cent better contrast and 'sharper images, darker fonts and clearer text', but no colour yet. Amazon has recently slashed the prices of the Kindle DX. It could be well worth a try if you are not considering using a tablet to do the job of being your e-reader.
LOVE – E-ink display, long battery life
HATE – Lack of touch interface and colour
Reading tip
With some books you might want the fonts displayed to be bigger. But refrain from increasing the font size. Why? If you increase the font size you'll have to scroll horizontally to finish every line displayed and this is a rather slow process. Instead, switch to landscape mode where all the text fits the width and the display is bigger and better. The size that the text can be tweaked to varies from one book to another.

Echinacea is a flower that's known to have medicinal value. It's mainly taken to help support the immune system but it's not typically used for dogs. Nearly all of the testing done on this herbal supplement focuses on humans. So how about the potential for a pet?
Your dog typically won't need help boosting their immune system. They don't have to deal with the same daily stresses that we do. Some owners say they've used it successfully for treating their dog's infections, including urinary tract infections. However, most vets will advise against it and recommend other solutions.
Aside from those common uses, there's not really any valid reason why your dog would need an echinacea supplement to lead a healthy and happy life. One good thing about dogs is that they get the nourishment they need from a well-formulated dog food. It's pretty easy to keep them at their healthiest.
Can I Give My Dog Echinacea? Answer: Not Recommended
There are better ways to help your dog rather than using Echinacea.
It's true that people use this medicinal flower for all sorts of things including skin problems such as wounds, burns, eczema, psoriasis and even insect bites. One other ailment people turn to this popular herbal medicine for is UTIs.
It's understandable that if your dog is experiencing any of these, you'd consider using some echinacea extract to treat them as well. You may not want to hear this but you should get a recommendation from your vet first, especially if your dog comes down with something like a urinary tract infection.
Your veterinarian can give you prescription antibiotics that will be more effective. The reason this herb is so popular with humans is that it's all natural. Many people believe it can help maintain health when the common cold and the flu are going around. But this isn't likely to benefit a dog in the same way, not to mention it's fairly expensive as a long term supplement.
The K9 Immune System
Echinacea is known for its immune system strengthening properties, but that's for people. Without getting into too many details, the immune system of a dog is different. The vast majority of the time it will be functioning properly, as long as your dog is well-fed and getting regular exercise.
Yes, although rare, it's possible for dogs to have trouble with their immune systems as well. There are herbal remedies that can work, with the most popular being milk thistle. Also known as Silybum marianum, it acts to cleanse the liver and provides trickle down cleansing benefits to the rest of the body.
As a Laxative Solution
Humans sometimes take echinacea to help with constipation. For a dog, this isn't really the best treatment. You can either let the condition pass on its own, or give your dog something like canned pumpkin to help move things along.
Opting to wait, since dogs have relatively fast metabolism, is usually prudent because constipation likely won't remain a problem for long. If it does happen more than occasionally, consider upgrading their dog food so that they get a better mix of ingredients with less filler.
Conclusion on Echinacea
A few vets give dogs echinacea while many others see no use in doing so. Honestly, there's no hard and fast rule about whether this is something you should give your dog. It's always best to err on the side of caution rather than give them something unproven or possibly harmful.
Natural remedies will often pop up as possible solutions for all sorts of things. While often these herbal medicines show signs of efficacy in humans, it doesn't necessarily translate to canines. Providing a good quality dog food, fresh water and lots of love form the basis for health rather than herbal remedies like echinacea. Of course, for serious problems, your vet should have your back.
Remember, dogs don't have the same sort of stress levels that we do. They don't worry about the future or regret the past. They keep in a constant state of presence. This inherent happy-go-lucky disposition tends to keep them healthy and their immune system in top shape without the help of things like echinacea.

A former official from the New York City Department of transportation outlines some ideas for reducing traffic congestion in the city, including a plan to reduce the amount of taxis and limousines on the streets.
"For a couple of days, there were 25% to 30% fewer cabs on our streets - but it really wasn't that much harder to hail a taxi. True, group riding helped a bit, but the real boost was due to higher traffic speeds. Everyone I've spoken to noticed that traffic was moving faster. And when traffic moves faster, cabs can get rid of their passengers and pick up the next fare sooner."
"In traffic science, here's how it works: Let's say you have 100 taxis traveling through midtown at 5 miles per hour, including stops. If you could reduce that number to 90 taxis and get them traveling just 1 mile an hour faster - 6 mph on average - you could actually increase the number of trips they provide. To the public, it would seem that there were more cabs available, when in reality, there would be 10% fewer taxis on the road."
"So, one way to reduce congestion is to reduce the number of taxis - permanently. I did the math when Iwas traffic commissioner and found that the optimum number of taxis was just under 12,000. We now have more than 13,000. With taxi medallion prices at $400,000, it would be too heavy a lift to buy back 1,000 medallions all at once. Instead, the city should purchase 100 medallions a year over 10 years."
Less transit equals less congetion?
Hey, why not get rid of all taxis and ...?
Taxis are not like transit. In New York they often carry a single riders, and unlike single occupancy vehicles, they add to traffic even when they are "empty" as the driver cruises for a fare. Their big advantage is that they don't require parking.
Also, in addition to this proposal, the article recommends a congestion charge for Manhattan, and eliminating free parking perks for government employees. Otherwise, the new found capacity might disappear as more drivers attempted to crowd into the City.

BSP MP Dhananjay Singh, who along with his wife Jagriti Singh has been charge-sheeted in connection with the murder of their maid, was on Saturday granted interim bail for two months by a Delhi court.
Additional Sessions Judge Lokesh Kumar Sharma granted interim bail to Mr. Singh, a sitting MP from Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur constituency, on a personal bond of Rs. one lakh and two sureties of the like amount.
However, despite getting interim bail, Mr. Singh, who was arrested on November 5 last year, will have to remain in Tihar Jail under judicial custody as he has not been granted bail in a separate rape case in which he is facing trial.
During the arguments, Delhi Police opposed the bail plea of Mr. Singh saying there was no new ground or change in circumstances for releasing him on bail.
The police, however, told the court that the two prime witnesses in the case have been provided security in pursuance to the order passed by a magisterial court last year.
Senior advocate Hariharan and advocate S.P.M. Tripathi, who appeared for Mr. Singh, argued that since the two key prosecution witnesses in the case had already been provided protection by police, there was no likelihood of him trying to intimidate them.
The defence counsel also argued that there was no possibility that the MP would tamper with evidence or influence the witnesses in the case.
They also said that Mr. Singh has to look after his ailing father and as charge-sheet has already been filed, no useful purpose would be served by keeping his client in custody.
Earlier, the court had directed police to apprise it about whether they have provided protection to the key witnesses in the case.
Mr. Singh had approached the court after his bail plea was dismissed on February 22 by the court on the grounds that, being an influential person, he could intimidate the witnesses who are yet to be examined.
The magisterial court, while dismissing the bail plea of Mr. Singh on November 20 last year, had directed police to provide protection to the principal witnesses till the time their statements were recorded.
Mr. Singh was charge-sheeted for various offences under IPC, including alleged destruction of evidence and abetment of the offences of murder and attempt to murder.
Ms. Singh has been charge-sheeted for offences under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 344 (wrongfully confining for 10 or more days), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC.
The couple were arrested on November 5 last year in connection with the death of their 35-year-old maid Rakhi Bhadra, a resident of West Bengal.
The police, in its charge-sheet, had alleged that Ms. Singh used to "mercilessly beat" her three domestic helpers and had "compelled" them to work by holding them captive.
Bhadra's body, with injury marks on her legs, chest and arms, was recovered from Mr. Singh's South Avenue residence on the evening of November 4, 2013.
Earlier, police had charge-sheeted Mr. Singh in a separate case for allegedly repeatedly raping a 42-year-old railway employee for nearly four years.

Pune: As the search for the missing Malaysian flight enters the thirteenth day, anxious family members of Kranti Shirsath are in a helpless condition. Kranti's husband told dna that he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister but has not received any response yet.
Kranti (44), a former chemistry lecturer, is one among the 239 passengers who were on board traveling on the Beijing-bound plane before it went missing on March 8.
Kranti's husband Pralhad who works in a Malaysian NGO had planned to return with her to India in the first week of May.
Kranti's husband Pralhad who returned to India alone last week told dna, "As soon as I came to Pune I had mailed a letter to Prime Minister of India explaining my family's condition and the present help and support that I got from Indian authorities."
He added, "Over three days have passed but I have not received any acknowledgement from the PM's office. I had high hopes from them so had approached them. I have requested them to expedite the search operation. My wife is a mother of two children. We are depressed."
He said, "My younger son Yashwant (11) who daily calls his mother's cellphone cries after not getting any response.
He asks our relatives too helplessly. I have sent him to our native place in Beed. We get the update on the airlines from the news channels and also people from the airline call us. I am in touch with other passengers' relatives too and check for updates with them." Prahlad is keeping his fingers crossed and hoping that his will return home one day with a smile on her face.
"I fail to understand that despite living in a world of technology, we are not able to trace the flight. What is the use of claiming ourselves to be so advanced," he said.

Finn McCool and the Great Fish
Posted April 2, 2010
Cool McCool!
This was a great story to 'tell' to my five classes of 1st/2nd grade elementary school kids in connection with St. Patrick's Day holiday last month. Most kids in this age group (7 and 8 yr. olds) have already heard or read about the most famous mythical Irish giant, Finn McCool, but this new book by Eve Bunting depicted him in a somewhat different light than earlier tales have done and delivered an important message that I thought they would like to hear. So, with a little elaboration and acting out on my part, Finn McCool and the Great Fish was not only a very fun story to tell, but was engaging for the kids to listen to, as well. Normally, when I do my telling, I don't bring the book or books with me that my stories come from, as the main idea behind storytelling (as opposed to story-reading) is to try and inspire the kids to use their OWN imagination in visualizing what the author's characters might look like in their own minds. Thus, books with colorful, intriguing covers sitting on my lap while I'm telling would become a distraction. However, this particular book is so awesomely illustrated that AFTER the 'telling' I brought it out and turned each page for the kids to ooh and ahh and comment over... I think this Finn McCool story will be one they'll remember in connection with the March Irish holiday for many St. Patty's Days to come.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
For this book R. R. Palmer has translated selections from the abundant writings of the versatile French political figure and writer Marc-Antoine Jullien, weaving them together with his own extensive commentary into an absorbing narrative of Jullien's life and times. Jullien's hopes and fears for the "progress of humanity" were typical of many of the French bourgeoisie in this turbulent period. His life coincided with the whole era of revolution in Europe and the Americas from 1775 to 1848: he was born in the year when armed rebellion against Britain began in America, he witnessed the fall of the Bastille as a schoolboy in Paris, joined the Jacobin club, took part in the Reign of Terror, advocated democracy, put his hopes in Napoleon Bonaparte, turned against him, and then welcomed his return from Elba. Under the restored Bourbons, he became an outspoken liberal, rejoiced in the revolution of 1830, had doubts about the July monarchy, welcomed the revolution of 1848, and died a few weeks before the election of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as president of the Second Republic.
Drawn from books, pamphlets, reports, letters, book reviews, magazine articles, poems, and private notes and memoranda, Jullien's comments are supplemented here by letters that his mother wrote during the early years of the French Revolution and by articles by Jullien's collaborators in the Revue Encyclopédique. In Palmer's skilled hands, these selected materials from a now forgotten life vividly portray France's transition from revolutionary republicanism and the Terror through the Napoleonic years to the more placid liberalism of the nineteenth century.

Police step up arson patrols in Brampton after five thatched cottages torched in one night
Posted: August 26, 2014|
Julian Makey
Police are continuing to mount extra patrols in the Brampton area following a series of arson attacks aimed at thatched homes.
As reported by the News, four properties in the village had their roofs set alight in the early hours of Thursday morning and a fifth home was torched in Offord.
Police are looking for two men seen in the area.
Cllr Mike Shellens, vice-chairman of Brampton Parish Council, said: "The word manslaughter comes to mind – they could have been looking at 15 years."
The men are described as being white and aged 25 to 30. One was 6ft 4in to 6ft 6in tall, of thin build and wearing a dark hooded top and dark trousers. The second was shorter, of stocky build with brown wavy hair and wearing a grey hooded top and black trousers. They were in a red hatchback with a loud exhaust.
Information can be given to police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

NEW DELHI: The executive committee of the Delhi University Teachers' Association met on Thursday and elected its four office-bearers. The Indian National Teachers' Congress-Academics for Action and Development combine candidate Aditya Narain Misra was elected DUTA president over a month ago.
Vinay Kumar Singh is the new vice-president, while Dinesh Adlakha is the new secretary. Sanjay Kumar and Sanjay Kumar Sharma are the new joint secretary and treasurer, respectively. The executive committee has also co-opted through election the following five members: S. K. Mishra; Sunil Kumar Tewari; Sangeeta Rai; K. B. Gupta and Parveen Kumar Garg.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Teachers' Front has termed this as the "unscrupulous post-election alliance of the Congress-led teachers' groups with the communal forces represented by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Teachers' Front".
