Genome Thyself
A recent Supreme Court ruling opens the door for more comprehensive and accessible genetic testing – and discovery of previously unknown links to cancer and other diseases.
Tree of Genetic Predispositions
-The graphic above is based on autosomal dna charts like the one presented to ovarian cancer survivor Jan Coggins.
-Coggins has an alteration in the PALB2 gene, which increases her risk for cancer of the ovaries, breast and pancreas.
-Coggins' sisters also both showed alterations in their palb2 genes; as a result, one underwent a prophylactic hysterectomy.
-Genetic tests can indicate genetic predispositions for numerous other cancers and diseases, as imaginatively illustrated above.
Where the Wild Things Are
The fate of stray horses in Heber could depend on just how feral we think they really are.
Everybody's a wise guy on Twitter. Even the Arizona Department of Transportation. "Reports of burros on SR 74 near I-17," it posted January 8. "Please slow down in area. However, no sign of this guy"– a picture of cartoon character Shrek.
It was a reference to an incident that made the rounds on the Internet: Days before, an ADOT highway cam caught the burros from an odd angle, making them look vaguely black and beastly in the snow, sparking speculation of a Bigfoot family reunion.
Middle of the Road
A new Phoenix ordinance that bans loitering on medians hits panhandlers hard – but is nothing more than a safety measure, according to law enforcement.
A drive down Peoria Avenue west of the I-17 around lunchtime used to be an adventure in traffic – vehicular and otherwise. People clutching cardboard signs asking for money – or maybe just a blessing – peppered the sidewalks while the 9-to-5ers drove around to pick up their lunches.
Cars still fill the streets today, but after a new city ordinance passed last November, the pedestrian-perilous spaces between them are relatively empty.
Have Darkness, Will Marvel
Oracle State Park earns accolades from astronomers and a rare global designation for its dark skies.
The heavenly disk of the Milky Way can be seen clearly in all seasons as it glides above Oracle State Park, 40 miles north of Tucson. In this age of blazing LEDs and fluorescents, it's a seldom seen sight – so unusual, in fact, that Tuscon-based International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) named the park an International Dark-Sky Park in November 2014, recognizing it as a world-class destination for starry-sky viewing.
Mumps County, USA?
The anti-vaccination movement in Arizona continues to spread like, um, a virus. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, the percentage of coverage for measles, mumps and rubella for kindergarten students dipped from 95.3 percent to 93.9 percent from 2010-2104.
Brews or Booze?
Arizona Beer Week & Arizona Cocktail Week once again ask imbibers to choose – and their organizers are OK with that.
Barb Harris was among the first to buy VIP tickets for this year's Arizona Strong Beer Festival. Every February, she and her husband, Scott, meet a group of "beer buddies" at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix for the kickoff event of Arizona Beer Week.
Celestial Seasoning
Fountain Hills' annual International UFO Congress has become the Barrett-Jackson of the flying saucer set. Are you ready to believe?
If the words "UFO convention" immediately bring to mind a dank ballroom full of off-the-fringe oddballs arguing Area 51 conspiracy theories, top extraterrestrial abductions and best shaman stone frequencies, hold on to your tin hat.

By LIM TEIK HUAT
PETALING JAYA: Malaysian divers got their campaign off the ground with a creditable fifth placing by Loh Zhiayi in the girls' platform Group B (aged 14-15) at the World Junior Championships in Adelaide.
The 15-year-old has certainly made a big impact in her first major outing by scoring 352.90 points despite having the second lowest degree of difficulties among the finalists.
Her rapid improvement – from a Sukma gold medallist to a World Junior Championships finalist – could not have been possible without the guidance of diving head coach Yang Zhuliang, whose current contract is until the end of this month.
The coach is in two minds about staying on as he also has an offer from Australia.
But the National Sports Council (NSC) are ready to counter it by offering him a revised two-year contract, with an option for another two years, when he returns home later this month after the world junior meet.
NSC director general Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong said Zhuliang's salary will be raised as "we want him to stay and take charge of the preparations leading to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro".
Although Zolkples did not reveal the amount, it is learnt that NSC are offering him a US$2,000 pay rise.
The Chinese coach, who guided Pandelela Rinong to an historic bronze medal at the London Olympics recently, is believed to be getting US$5,000 a month now and the new salary will make him the highest paid foreign coach in Malaysia.
Former Olympic gold medallist doubles legend Rexy Mainaky was the highest paid – US$15,000 a month – but he left for the Philippines earlier this year.
"We have drafted a new contract and we hope it will be favourable to him. He was supposed to discuss his future with us by next week after the world junior meet but he will not be back yet. The discussion should take place later this month," said Zolkples.
"Zhuliang has done a lot for the sport here and we hope he'll agree to continue working here."
Zhuliang boasts a perfect resume of having delivered medals for Malaysia at all levels of the sport since he agreed to come back in 2009 after a four-year stint as the development coach with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Adelaide.
Zhuliang first came in late of 2001 but left in 2005 to take up the coaching offer in Australia, where he was subsequently given citizenship.
It will be crucial for him to stay here if the current batch of juniors are to continue to rise through the ranks as Zhiayi showed yesterday.
Zhiayi, who won two gold medals at the Kuantan Sukma in July, impressed by qualifying fourth highest for the top 12-final after the preliminaries.
China had a one-two finish with Si Yajie amassing 425.15 points to finish on top ahead of team-mate Lian Jie (379.55). Mexico's Alejandra Orozco (373.20) took bronze.
Zhiayi, who has the potential to take over from Pandelela, will compete in the 3m springboard on Saturday.
Chew Yiwei just missed out on the boys' Group A (16-18) 3m springboard final when he finished 13th in the preliminaries.

Short for virtual LAN, a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same wire even though they may actually be physically located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. One of the biggest advantages of VLANs is that when a computer is physically moved to another location, it can stay on the same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration.

TUESDAY, July 1, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The cost of breast cancer screening for older women has soared because of increased use of new technologies, but that hasn't led to earlier detection of breast cancer, a new study shows.
Researchers compared data from 2001-02 and 2008-09, and found that the use of screening mammography for Medicare-enrolled women without a history of breast cancer remained at about 42 percent.
There was a large increase in the use of digital mammography technology, which is more expensive than standard film technology ($115 versus $73 per mammogram). But the newer technology has not been shown to be more effective in detecting breast cancer in women aged 65 and older, the Yale School of Medicine researchers said.
They also discovered a significant increase in the use of other newer, more expensive technology for breast cancer screening and related procedures.
Overall, Medicare spending for breast cancer screening and related procedures rose from $666 million in 2001-02 to $962 million in 2008-09, according to the study in the July 1 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
"Screening mammography is an important tool, but this rate of increase in cost is not sustainable," study co-author Dr. Brigid Killelea, an assistant professor of surgery, said in a Yale news release.
"We need to establish screening guidelines for older women that utilize technology appropriately, and minimize unnecessary biopsies and over-diagnosis to keep costs under control," she added.
Further studies are needed to identify which women will benefit from screening, and how to screen effectively and efficiently, study co-author Dr. Cary Gross said in the news release.
"But we cannot simply adopt new technologies because they theoretically are superior -- the health system cannot sustain it, and more importantly our patients deserve a sustained effort to determine which approaches to screening are effective and which ones are not," said Gross, director of the Yale Cancer Outcomes, Public Policy and Effectiveness Research Center.
"In some instances, breast cancer screening can save lives. But no woman wants to undergo testing if it is likely to cause more harm than good," Gross said.

All related to women's problems
KOLKATA: The All-India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) set up seven commissions related to women's issues on Sunday, concluding day of its four-day long eighth national conference here.
The commissions are on dowry, single women, water management, panchayats, self help groups, health, and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA).
The conference expressed concern over the alarming increase in the practice of dowry and the way it was expanding to different communities, including Muslims and tribals. On single women, the AIDWA feels that it was necessary to prioritise their needs in government programmes and put an end to discrimination against single women, especially widows when it came to social practices and property rights.
On the job guarantee Act, Kiran Moghe, all-India secretary, said the productivity norm should be revised. "Because of the high productivity norm, women are not able to realise even minimum wages." Further, the growing privatisation of the health sector and inadequate childcare and healthcare services for women was a cause for major concern.
The conference took note of the fact that unlike in West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala, where there is 40 per cent presence of women in the local bodies, in many other parts of the country the role of women functionaries in panchayats was greatly undermined. The meet also came down strongly against discrimination of dalit women at the panchayat level.
On Sunday, a new 98-member central executive committee was elected, with Subhasini Ali as president, Shyamali Gupta, working president and Sudha Sunderaman as secretary.
The AIDWA has a membership strength of 1.86 crore. Over 900 delegates from 23 States and two foreign delegates — from Bangladesh and Palestine — took part in the meet.

This Friday 7th March, 2014 from 6pm, there will be a world wide screening of the movie "Girl Rising" globally in 12 countries of which Kenya will feature. The premier in Kenya will be hosted by Nailab Accelerator Limited (The Nailab) in partnership with Google and Intel.
The organizers of the local premier are True North Leadership and Broad Horizons Ltd. It is clear that empowering a girl is empowering a nation. The screening of this movie and the discussions that will result from the occasion present a great opportunity for all stakeholders to generate progressive conversation with industry players and leaders on the role of women in entrepreneurship and technology.
ICT and Entrepreneurship are key in jobs and wealth creation. Empowering girls and women in these areas will play a big role in the attainment of Vision 2030's social pillar. For a nation where ICT is male dominated, the movie comes at a time when the industry is being spurred on to encourage, inspire and recruit more females as this would spur growth in the country's job creation and ease of doing business for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), whose growth is expected to drive the economy to higher levels.
To become part of the visionary team that will lead this discussion join us on Friday evening where you will engage with experts and listen to girls and women with dreams and aspirations as well as share a global platform with partners like Google+, Intel, Seven Seas Technology, #girlriseathon
On the panel we shall have:

POOLER, Ga. (WJCL) – Christine Hulme says she's still shaken when recalling the events that took place on July 10 where her kindness nearly got her killed.
"I have a great life and it all just came crashing down, I started getting a little bit shaky thinking about it again," said Hulme.
She said it started as a typical day running errands as she made her way down Grand Central Blvd. in Pooler. It wasn't until she realized she didn't have her wallet that she pulled over on Southern Junction Blvd.
"I was looking in my purse and a car came by me and just got in front of me," said Hulme
Hulme said a woman then got out of the driver's side of the vehicle and started walking toward her car.
A police report says Hulme also stepped out of her vehicle to see what the lady needed.
"She walked up and said 'Hi, I need some directions' and boom, just like that" Hulme said. "The pain was excruciating; I couldn't begin to describe it."
Hulme said the woman hit her in the head and back repeatedly with an object as she fell to the ground.
"It wasn't just, 'I'll punch you and keep you distracted while somebody steals your purse'. This was literally wanting to hurt you," said Hulme.
The police report also pointed out a male then entered Hulme's car taking her purse.
"I just want the community to know that what happened to me isn't an illusion, said Hulme
Hulme describes her attacker as a slim white female with cornrows and sores on her arm. She was possibly driving a dark blue vehicle with a broken left tail light.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pooler police.

PNB attracts P5 B in long-term deposits in record time
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Philippine National Bank completed a P5-billion offering of long-term deposits covered by negotiable certificates on the same day the product was launched on Thursday, one of the fastest fund-raising exercises seen in the local capital market to date.
The banking arm of taipan Lucio Tan announced on Friday that it had successfully raised the amount through a public offering of long term negotiable certificates of time deposits (LTNCDs) at a record-low interest rate for this instrument.
PNB reported that with an oversubscribed book early in its offering, the 5.5-year LTNCD issuance was priced at 3 percent per annum, the lowest ever coupon for such an instrument. The public offer period was supposed to run for three days, from July 25 to 29, but it was closed on the very same morning it was launched due to strong demand, the bank said in a press statement.
"We are overwhelmed by the confidence and support of our investors in PNB. This fund-raising exercise will allow us to support our asset growth, and make us even more competitive in the banking industry," PNB president Omar Mier said.
HSBC acted as sole lead arranger and bookrunner for PNB's offering of LTNCDs, which are negotiable certificates of time deposit with a designated maturity or tenor representing a bank's obligation to pay the face value upon maturity as well as make periodic coupon or interest payments during the life of the deposit. Interest is paid quarterly, and is tax-exempt for qualified individuals if held for at least five years. The minimum denomination of the LTNCD is P500,000 with additional investments of P100,000 thereafter.
These deposits are covered by insurance with the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. up to P500,000 per depositor.
"Raising P5 billion just a few hours into its first offering day, and pricing the LTNCD at the lower end of pricing guidance is a testament to PNB's franchise. We congratulate them on this remarkable achievement," said Wick Veloso, HSBC Philippines president.
PNB merged with Tan's Allied Banking Corp. earlier this year, making PNB the fourth largest privately owned bank in the Philippines, in terms of total assets.

KUNA -- The community of Kuna continues to rally support for Boone Bartlome, the Kuna High football player seriously injured in a game against Bishop Kelly.
The Paul's Market in Kuna held a silent auction Saturday to raise money for Bartlome's family. Paul's Market manager Charlie Long said, our goal is to reach $5,000, we raised $2,100 yesterday, so we've got about $3,000 to go today. And everything goes to Boone and his recovery efforts.
But at the end of the day the community far surpassed that goal and donated $6,020.85.
Also, the Idaho Steelheads are offering special priced tickets on November 29th with proceeds going to the Boone fund.

I setup my projects to run as REMOTE Web site. My projects contain thousands
of files.
A bit later in the day, our company web sites go down.
"What the heck is going on?"
I call our server provider and after a bunch of talk find out our company is
currently sending 100s of packets of data at their web servers and our IP has
been black listed.
At this point the server provider suggest we have some malware on one of our
machines or possibly a malfunctioning program.
Long story short, I install wireshark (packet monitering software) and find
100s of packets being sent out from netbeans.
Not exactly sure what Netbeans is doing, I presume it's syncing files and or
checking for code changes etc.
Shouldn't there be a limit to how many files it can scan / upload / download
in a certain time period?
Why is Netbeans doing this and is this a bug in the software?

Juventus refused to join in Chelsea's Oscar ceremony on Wednesday.
Playing some wonderfully fluid football, the champions of Italy recovered from the Brazilian's double to secure a deserved Group E point through Arturo Vidal and Fabio Quagliarella.
It was a frustrating night for Chelsea, who shortly after the half-hour were singing the praises of their new boy from Brazil. When moving to the Bridge in the summer, Oscar told the club's website that he saw himself as "an elegant type of ball-player" and he lived up to his words here, particularly with his sublime second goal. Nothing seems to faze the 21 year-old.
Having been handed the Brazil No?10 shirt as a teenager, Oscar is clearly used to dealing with pressure. When given the No 11 shirt, Oscar hoped he could do "justice" to such an important number in Chelsea's recent history.
Having won the Champions League through their muscular No?11, Chelsea began their defence with their new sinewy No?11. Oscar had taken the shirt from the departing Didier Drogba and immediately kept the number in the limelight for his new club.
Chelsea had hardly been reserved in reminding everyone of their exalted status secured in Munich in May. Military personnel paraded the Champions League trophy before kick-off, suggesting that it would need special forces to take it away. "We know what we are,'' crowed the inhabitants of the Matthew Harding Stand in that self-knowing way of theirs, "champions of Europe, we know what we are.'' Juventus were greeted at the Bridge by a fans'
banner that read: "Welcome to Chelsea FC; first London club to win the Champions League". They were also met by Oscar.
Winning the Champions League is one thing, retaining it is quite another challenge and the recruitment of the likes of Oscar for pounds 25?million had been designed to give a resilient side a more refined feel.
Juventus still represented an obvious threat, particularly the presence of Andrea Pirlo, the Old Lady's beloved beau. The bearded midfielder sat deep in front of Juventus' back three and sought to orchestrate Juventus' attacks. Chelsea had a plan for England's Euro 2012 nemesis; Oscar played off Fernando Torres, dropping back to challenge Pirlo, although he soon demonstrated the more creative instincts which Roman Abramovich had lavished so much money on.
It required half-an-hour before Oscar's skill was fully on show.
Helped by Oscar, Chelsea were quick to close down Pirlo, Torres showing quick thinking and quick feet to nick the ball off the Italian international and speed upfield. Torres picked out Eden Hazard but Andrea Barzagli was swift to cut out the danger. Hazard then attempted to return the compliment, lifting the ball to the far post for Torres, whose header was guided to safety.
Before the Oscar ceremony, Juventus had constantly worried Chelsea. When Barzagli swept a long ball forward, Claudio Marchisio was played onside by Branislav Ivanovic. Marchisio darted through and only the alertness of Petr Cech rescued Chelsea. Greater composure from Mirko Vucinic would then have brought Juventus the lead. First Vucinic hesitated, allowing Frank Lampard to block. Then Vidal released Vucinic, who fired wide.
That was enough sparring. Two heavyweights now went at it, Chelsea landing the first two blows. It was quickfire stuff, the first goal arriving in the 31st minute. Hazard slid the ball to Oscar, whose shot seemed destined for the well-positioned Gianluigi Buffon until it caught Leonardo Bonucci and diverted away from the Juventus keeper.
It was a sign of Oscar's popularity that he disappeared immediately from sight as he was engulfed by his team-mates. The Chelsea players clearly admire the Brazilian's technique and imagination, gifts paraded spectacularly two minutes later.
Found by Ashley Cole's pass, Oscar did brilliantly to spirit the ball past Pirlo on the edge of the Juventus area, (almost) reviving memories of the way Dennis Bergkamp tricked Nikos Dabizas 10 years ago. Oscar imparted spin on the ball, taking it away from Pirlo, actually away from goal. He ran after it and then curled it elegantly past Buffon from the edge of the area. In thought and deed, Oscar was a step ahead of Juventus.
Cole won the race to be the first Chelsea player to congratulate the smiling Oscar. Not all were bowled over. Speaking on Sky, Graeme Souness argued that Oscar's first touch had been fortuitous, yet the Brazilian's eyes were on the ball throughout, indicating he knew exactly where he was manouevring the ball to escape Pirlo and fashion the scoring opportunity.
Juventus refused to bow to Oscar. Within five minutes, the Italians had pulled one back. Vidal had already given notice of his threat, moving forward into promising positions but he was helped by hesitancy in Chelsea's defence. Granted a yard of room, Vidal threaded a low shot past Cech.
Chelsea went hunting a third in the second half. Lampard went close with a free-kick. Then Hazard was desperately unlucky not to be awarded a penalty after being pushed twice by Bazargli and then falling amidst a tangle of legs. Hazard looked bemused when Pedro Proenca awarded the decision to Juventus.
Juventus grew in strength as the half progressed. Willed on by their fans, who rarely settled back in their seats and certainly rarely paused from their exhortations, the Italians kept charging forward in search of an equaliser. The tiring Oscar left,
having felt a hard challenge from Bonucci, but Juan Mata was there to keep up the creativity levels. Yet Juventus were hungrier, leveling with 10 minutes remaining. Mistakes littered Chelsea's half; first John Obi Mikel erred, inviting Juventus forward. John Terry was sluggish in realising Quagliarella's run and the substitute coolly slotted the ball past Cech. Moments later, Quagliarella turned and clipped the bar.

Taxi Makeover
Thursday, March 29, 2007
Charles Burnett's 1977 film, Killer of Sheep, has been called "a vision of African-American angst" and "a lost masterpiece." On today's show: why it's taken 30 years for the film to get a theatrical release. Also: a Vietnam vet and his son travel to Vietnam to try to make sense of what happened during the war. Then we'll find out why some want to give NYC's yellow cabs a drastic makeover. And on today's Underreported, a look at our endangered species policies and whether they're working. Plus, a new plan that could save the future of fishing.
Underreported: Is the Endangered Species Act Endangered?
Since George W. Bush became president, 57 species have been declared endangered, usually as a result of lawsuits. That's fewer than under any president since the Endangered Species Act was signed by Nixon in 1973. Now Bush administration officials are reviewing proposed changes to the way the ESA is enforced.
Underreported: Fish for the Future
Scientists have warned that fish in the seas could be extinct by 2048. Now a group of experts has come up with a way to prevent sea extinction, rebuild fishing stocks, and restore fishing communities. David Festa, director of the Oceans Program at Environmental Defense, tell us the details ...

TUCKED away about 17km from Pengkalan Hulu in Perak is Gua Gendang. A river from Gunung Baling flows 1km through the underground enclosure.
At some points of the cave, one, who has to wade through in waist-deep water, must be armed with a torchlight to move around as it is pitch dark inside.
Before entering the mouth of the cave, we had to trek for some 500m through a rubber estate.
The water level at the cave opening where a rivulet flows down from the Gunung Inas mountain range was at thigh-high.
As we move our torchlights all over the cave walls and roof, the awesome sight of the lovely stalactites and mineral water flowing from the ceiling of the cave greeted us.
Our quiet but sharp-eyed guide, Sipong, a 65-year-old Thai-Malaysian who goes by the name of Pak Din, sipped droplets of water from the stalactites.
"The water's refreshing and drinkable," grinned Pak Din. We were not game to the idea but we tasted a bit anyway just to make him happy.
Although we did not see any fish or marine life in the water, our guide told us that there were hundreds of freshwater ikan baung (catfish family) in the cave.
As we walked, we came across some rugged limestone rocks and sodium carbonate formation.
"In the past, people had blasted the rocks to make tabletops," said Pak Din.
He said the pavements in the cave would make a great picnic area as the soil there was firm.
Gua Gendang had carved a reputation during the insurgency period, he said.
According to Pak Din who was a former soldier during the Japanese Occupation, the communists had used the cave as it had a secret vent inside that leads to Baling town.
"A ray of light shines like a beacon inside the centre of the cave as the sun passes through the secret vent during the day," he added.
A short distance before we reached the other end of the cave, which leads out to the lovely sunlight and the river, we rested on one of the huge boulders and turned off our torchlights to experience pitch darkness and deafening silence.
We also stopped at a spot inside the cave called Lubuk Kerbau, which is favourite spot for anglers.
We swam for a while in the cool river just outside at the cave. That marked our hour-long trek inside the cave, which was a wondrous experience for us.
How to get there
Drive from Baling to Pengkalan Hulu via the new Butterworth-Gerik Highway. Once in Pengkalan Hulu town, head towards a small Thai village called Kampung Tasek.
Pak Din will be happy to be your guide if you want to make a trek to Gua Gendang. He can be reached at 019-3705287.

Now, I would like to introduce Peter Leparulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Novatel Wireless.
Peter V. Leparulo
Good afternoon and thank you for joining our call today. While Q3 was a difficult and challenging period as we anticipated, we have made substantial progress towards our goals, a clear and driving focus of Novatel Wireless is to return to profitability and position the company for long-term and sustainable growth.
I want to spend our time today discussing some of our key business decisions of the quarter and how we believe this will positively impact our business moving forward. After our prepared comments, Ken and I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
As you know, we have three primary businesses, Mobile Broadband, our OEM business selling to laptop manufacturers and our M2M business, which consist of embedded solutions and integrated platforms. Mobile Broadband had a down quarter in Q3 and as expected, we experienced hike in competition on our largest customer, as we share the channel in the quarter to lower price Chinese competitor. This competition will continue in Q4.
Our products are in many channels, including company-owned stores, direct B2B sales, local and national retail and others. Although, year-to-date sales were actually higher in direct B2B channels for quality and security are highly valued, we have been impacted in consumer channels or differentiated device pricing impact sales at a more cost driven. Our focus to address all of these channels in Mobile Broadband is to continue to lead the market in innovation, expand our customer base and expand our product set at existing customers, all built up on our industry leading type of portfolio.
Earlier this quarter, we announce that we will be launching our touch screen MiFi 2 with AT&T, which individually achieved sort of these goals, technological leadership and expanding our customer base. Our MiFi 2 being marketed by AT&T as a MiFi Liberate introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch interactive color display, setting users control the MiFi device with the touch of the finger, added functionality minimal its design, a great through user experience, and industry leading performance have been among the positive feedback that the product has received in preliminary reviews.
MiFi's results were media hub, which allows users to share movies, music and presentations. Importantly, this is also our first joint development product with AT&T. As started what we heard will be a long-term partnership with this important customer. We'll be happy to discuss the unique features and performance of the MiFi 2 after the formal launch of the product in select channels later this quarter, followed by a broader distribution rollout in the first quarter.
One of the advantages of developing products for the 4G frequency band is supported by AT&T is that, there is technology commonality with other carriers worldwide. As a result, we expect to launch the MiFi 2 with other carriers in 2013. Additionally, we are launching two new products with our partner Verizon Wireless, which we believe will allow us to recapture the two most important product slots at our largest customer.
The first product which we just launched is an expanded battery MiFi 4620, which takes over the best-in-class slot with this carrier. The second product which we hope to launch in the fourth quarter, but made cushion to the first quarter is a streamline MiFi, which will become Verizon's lead product in those channels, which are more cost driven end user sales.

AS THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS' One O'Clock Lab Band winds down, a few instruments at a time, director Neil Slater asks, "How did that one go again? I can't figure out what we did before." The band was rehearsing an adventurous piece written by UNT undergraduate Alan Baylock. It's one of roughly five thousand compositions in the UNT jazz library, maybe two thousand of them by students, but there's a hitch today. When last year's lab band recorded the tune, they revised the score, and nobody can remember precisely how it went.
"Oh, well, then, forget it," chuckles Slater, a round-faced 61-year-old with a salt-and-pepper beard who wears a blue polo shirt, faded jeans, and shiny new Reeboks to class. "We're going to do a couple more fast ones, some music to help you lose weight by, and then we'll play a slow one to finish." The students—collegians dressed in baggy shorts, T-shirts, and the odd gimme cap—jump deftly into another roaring number.
You'd never guess from the players' cohesiveness and feel for the music that this is the first day of school at UNT in Denton, home of the first jazz major ever established at a university (1947). The One O'Clock is the flagship of nine lab bands—student jazz orchestras, really, with 20 to 25 players each—and Slater is both director of the One O'Clock and chairman of the division of jazz studies within UNT's college of music. In a music school that typically enrolls 1,300 to 1,500, the jazz division accounts for about one third of the students, and about half of them play in a lab band.
By the sixties, the One O'Clock could be counted on to win at any college jazz festival it entered. Since 1967, however, though lower-ranked UNT bands have competed, the One O'Clock has not. As Slater explains, "We were a little too good. If other schools found out the One O'Clock was coming, they didn't go."
Denton and the One O'Clock have their critics, to be sure. Those detractors say that the school has fallen behind the times and discourages creativity in favor of cranking out mainstream musicians for cruise ships and the so-called ghost bands of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Woody Herman. Or, the argument goes, students have been channeled into jingles work, movie and television scores, or any other kind of gig that requires sight-reading skills and the ability to pick up on someone else's unfamiliar music rather than pursuing their own. But having voiced their concerns, these critics ask to stay off the record, and most admit that UNT and the One O'Clock continue to dominate college jazz.
Denton alums represent a range broad enough to include Lyle Mays, keyboardist with Pat Metheny; Lou Marini, saxman for the Blues Brothers; Jeff Sturges, who's been music director for both Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck; bassist Marc Johnson, whose own group has recorded for fusion jazz cornerstone ECM Records; drummer Greg Bissonette of the hard-rock David Lee Roth band; Bruce Fowler, trombonist with Frank Zappa; and saxophonist John Giordano, conductor of the Fort Worth Symphony. More predictably, three Denton vets now back up Harry Connick, Jr. The recently released Best of the One O'Clock Lab Band (Amazing), a compilation of tracks from previous lab band albums, includes fourteen musicians who have played for Maynard Ferguson and twelve more who have been in one of Woody Herman's various Herds.
But the late Stan Kenton casts the longest shadow over the program. Upon Kenton's death in 1979, his collection of more than two thousand compositions passed to the lab band library. "He did that because he didn't want a professional ghost band," says Slater's assistant Mike Bogle. "But, in effect, the One O'Clock is the Stan Kenton ghost band."
The connection goes back to 1960, when Kenton was one of the judges who awarded the Two O'Clock Lab Band (then the top guns on campus) first prize at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival. Kenton began recruiting new band members out of Denton because they sight-read flawlessly. At one time fully half his orchestra was made up of North Texas players.
The pioneering Denton jazz program began to build its reputation from its founding, when M. E. "Gene" Hall created the curriculum so that there would be bands to play the charts that his scoring and arranging class produced. There was furious resistance to the new division from the department's classical music establishment; Hall had to call the program's focus "dance band" because "jazz" was considered seedy and dangerous. When Hall left in 1959, he turned the program over to Leon Breeden, a former director of high school and college bands.
Breeden was a devout, firm-but-fair leader who cosigned loans for needy students. He wouldn't hesitate to call a nonconformist into his office for a talk if the youth was neglecting non-music studies, dressing sloppily, or otherwise playing into the prevailing negative image of the jazz misfit. During Breeden's 22-year tenure, the division soared. He instituted a Fall Concert that brought such notables as Kenton, Marian McPartland, Louis Bellson, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Joe Williams, Clark Terry, Thad Jones, and Mel Lewis to work with the One O'Clock. His bands and soloists won nearly fifty national awards. In 1967 the One O'Clock began recording at least one album a year, with the 1975 and 1976 sets both nominated for Grammys. The One O'Clock then toured Mexico, followed by several trips to Europe and the Soviet Union. Somewhere in there they even started calling it jazz.
Slater, a New York pianist who established the jazz program at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, took over in 1981. He has put more emphasis on small groups and added a master's program, which has improved the overall quality of the lab bands (the One O'Clock includes eight grad students). He has also formally integrated jazz studies classes with lab band experience. Like his predecessors, he has sought to develop all-around musicians who are less likely to find themselves, at age forty and with

From the Publisher
Judah L. Magnes was the Jewish maverick personified, the perpetual dissenter from conventional wisdom and establishment politics. Though he was all his life a leader in the Jewish community, he nevertheless always remained the outsider, the critical voice, the political conscience, the moral castigator. More often than not the causes he espoused--in the Jewish community as in the larger society--went down to defeat, to end up in the dust bin of history.
Professor Arthur A. Goren has now rescued Magnes from oblivion, dusted him off, and brought him and his causes once again into the light. This splendid collection of Magnes's writings restores him as he was, always at the center of history in times thick with history. Magnes's mind and eloquence were equal to the great themes which he engaged and the great controversies he argued: war and peace, Zionism and Jewish nationalism, religion and the nature of Jewish identity, social idealism and politics.
It is a striking testimony to Magnes's depth of intellect and breadth of interest that his writings speak to us today with relevance and even urgency. A stimulating thinker in his time, he speaks to us also in our time. The great and still pressing issues of Jewish communal and political existence are alive in these pages. Magnes himself comes alive in Goren's vivid portrait of the man and his world."
Judah L. Magnes was a striking combination of an American with a turn-of-the-century highmindedness, East European Jewish passion, and a devotion to pacifism. He was a Zionist who demanded equal justice for Jews and Arabs. His was a unique career in both America and Palestine. In this book, a lonely giant is remembered.

I was wondering if there is any way to get my hands on all of Ditko's Mr. A/Question stories aside from chasing down six million dollar comics that only five copies exist of ^_^. Despite being a bit heavy on exposition (due in part, no doubt, the brevity constraints) I love these books but I can't find any kind of way to get them, even illegitimately haha.
Any suggestions or resources?

The 20th century
The beginning of the 20th century brought with it a new renaissance in Russian poetry and drama, a "Silver Age" that rivaled, and in some respects surpassed, the Pushkinian "Golden Age." The civic orientation that had dominated Russian literature since the 1840s was, for the moment, abandoned. The avant-garde's new cry was "art for art's sake," and the new idols were the French Symbolists. The first, "decadent" generation of Russian Symbolists included the poets Valery Bryusov, Konstantin Balmont, and Zinaida Gippius. The second, more mystically and apocalyptically oriented generation included Aleksandr Blok (perhaps the most talented lyric poet Russia ever produced), the poet and theoretician Vyacheslav Ivanov, and the poet and prose writer Andrey Bely. The Symbolists dominated the literary scene until 1910, when internal dissension led to the movement's collapse.
The period just before and immediately following the Russian Revolution of 1917 was marked by the work of six spectacularly talented, difficult poets. Anna Akhmatova's brief, finely chiseled lyrics brought her fame at the outset of her career, but later in life she produced such longer works as Requiem, written from 1935 to 1940 but published in Russia only in 1989, her memorial to the victims of Joseph Stalin's purges (particularly her son, who was imprisoned in 1937). The Futurists Velimir Khlebnikov and Vladimir Mayakovsky engaged in innovative experiments to free poetic discourse from the fetters of tradition. Marina Tsvetayeva, another great poetic experimenter, produced much of her major work outside the country but returned to the Soviet Union in 1939, only to commit suicide there two years later. Boris Pasternak, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958, produced lyrics of great depth and power in this period, and Osip Mandelshtam created some of the most beautiful and haunting lyric poems in the Russian language.
Many of the writers who began to publish immediately after the 1917 revolution turned to prose, particularly the short story and the novella. Those who had been inspired by the recent revolution and the subsequent Russian Civil War (1918–20) included Boris Pilnyak (The Naked Year [1922]), Isaak Babel (Red Cavalry [1926]), and Mikhail Sholokhov, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965. Others described life in the new Soviet Union with varying degrees of mordant sarcasm; the short stories of Mikhail Zoshchenko, the comic novels of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov, and the short novel Envy (1927) by Yury Olesha fall into this category. Writing in Russian also flourished in communities of anticommunist exiles in Germany, France, Italy, and the United States, as represented by writers as various as the novelists Vladimir Nabokov and Yevgeny Zamyatin and the theologian-philosophers Vladimir Nikolayevich Lossky, Sergey Bulgakov, and Nikolay Berdyayev.
In the first decade after the revolution, there were also advances in literary theory and criticism, which changed methods of literary study throughout the world. Members of the Moscow Linguistic Circle and of OPOYAZ (Obshchestvo Izucheniya Poeticheskogo Yazyka; Society for the Study of Poetic Language) in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) combined to create Formalist literary criticism (see Formalism), a movement that concentrated on analyzing the internal structure of literary texts. At the same time, Mikhail Bakhtin began to develop a sophisticated criticism concerned with ethical problems and ways of representing them, especially in the novel, his favourite genre.
By the late 1920s the period of Soviet experimentation had ended. Censorship became much stricter, and many of the best writers were silenced. During the late 1920s and the '30s, there appeared what became known as the classics of Socialist Realism, a literary method that in 1934 was declared to be the only acceptable one for Soviet writers. Only a few of these works produced in this style—notably Fyodor Gladkov's Cement (1925), Nikolay Ostrovsky's How the Steel Was Tempered (1932–34), and Valentin Katayev's Time, Forward! (1932)—have retained some literary interest. The real masterpieces of this period, however, did not fit the canons of Socialist Realism and were not published until many years later. They include Mikhail Bulgakov's grotesquely funny The Master and Margarita (1966–67) and Andrey Platonov's dark pictures of rural and semiurban Russia, The Foundation Pit (1973) and Chevengur (1972).
With Stalin's death in 1953 and the subsequent "thaw," new writers and trends appeared in the 1950s and early '60s. Vibrant young poets such as Joseph Brodsky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, and Andrey Voznesensky exerted a significant influence, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn emerged from a Soviet prison camp (Gulag) and shocked the country and the world with details of his brutal experiences in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1962). "Youth" prose on the model of American writer J.D. Salinger appeared as well, particularly in the work of Vasily Aksyonov and Vladimir Voynovich. By the late 1960s, however, most of these writers had again been silenced. Solzhenitsyn—who was charged with treason shortly after the publication of the first volume of The Gulag Archipelago in 1973—and Brodsky, Aksyonov, and Voynovich had all been forced into exile by 1980, and the best writing was again unpublishable. Practically the only decent writing published from the late 1960s through the early 1980s came from the "village prose" writers, who treated the clash of rural traditions with modern life in a realistic idiom; the most notable members of this group are the novelist Valentin Rasputin and the short-story writer Vasily Shukshin. The morally complex fiction of Yury Trifonov, staged in the urban setting (e.g., The House on the Embankment [1976]), stands somewhat apart from the works of Rasputin and Shukshin that praise Russian rural simplicity. Nevertheless, as with the 1930s and '40s, the most important literature of this period was first published outside the Soviet Union. Notable writers include Varlam Shalamov, whose exquisitely artistic stories chronicled the horrors of the prison camps; Andrey Sinyavsky, whose complex novel Goodnight! appeared in Europe in 1984, long after he had been forced to leave the Soviet Union; and Venedikt Yerofeyev, whose grotesque latter-day picaresque Moscow-Petushki—published in a clandestine (samizdat) edition in 1968—is a minor classic.
Some of the best work published in the 1980s was in poetry, including the work of conceptualists such as Dmitry Prigov and the meta-metaphoric poetry of Aleksey Parshchikov, Olga Sedakova, Ilya Kutik, and others. The turbulent 1990s were a difficult period for most Russian writers and poets. The publishing industry, adversely affected by the economic downturn, struggled to regain its footing in the conditions of a market economy. Nonetheless, private foundations began awarding annual literary prizes, such as the Russian Booker Prize and the Little Booker Prize. The so-called Anti-Booker Prize—its name, a protest against the British origins of the Booker Prize, was selected to emphasize that it was a Russian award for Russian writers—was first presented in 1995 by the Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Tatyana Tolstaya began to occupy a prominent role following the publication of her novel The Slynx (2000), a satire about a disastrous hypothetical future for Moscow. Some critics considered the decade the "twilight period in Russian literature," because of the departure from traditional psychological novels about contemporary life in favour of detective novels. Indeed, such novels were among the best-selling fiction of the period, particularly the work of Boris Akunin, whose Koronatsiia ("Coronation") won the Anti-Booker Prize in 2000.

Pork Tenderloin with Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sauce
"Dr Pepper coned to the rescue" by Elizabeth Karmel, AP. There is a long tradition of cooking with soft drinks on the competition barbecue circuit, and some "legends" credit it as the secret to their success. Dr Pepper offers more complexity and deeper flavor then cola. Leftover sauce is great for pulled pork sandwiches, chicken, shrimp, hot dogs, barbecue pizza, burgers or baked beans. Recipe published in the Winston-Salem Journal: December 21, 2011.
Yield: 6 servings
Community Recipe from
Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
- For the sauce:
- 4 tablespoon(s) butter
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 clove(s) garlic, chopped
- 1 cup(s) ketchup
- 3 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
- 1 12-ounce can(s) Dr Pepper soda (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup(s) cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup(s) Worchestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground ancho chili powder or New Mexican chili powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) white pepper
- 1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
- For the tenderloins:
- 2 pork tenderloins (1 1/3 pounds each)
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper or your favorite barbecue rub
- 1. In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes. Continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
- 2. Let the sauce cool for about 10 minutes, or until it is warm but no longer hot. Using an immersion of traditional blender, puree the sauce. Let cool and, if not using immediately, pour into a clean glass jar. The sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated for 2 weeks.
- 3. To grill the pork, heat the grill to medium.
- 4. Wrap the tenderloins in paper towels to remove any surface moisture. This will help to get great grill marks. Brush the dry meat with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place the meat directly over the heat to sear. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once or twice, or until good grill marks appear.
- 5. Switch to medium indirect heat and move the meat to the center of the cooking grate and cook for 30 to 35 minutes total, turning once during cooking and brushing with the barbecue sauce every 5 to 7 minutes until the tenderloins are done and the sauce has created a glaze. Using a meat thermometer, make sure the tenderloins read 145 degrees at the thickest part.
- 6. Remove the tenderloins from the grill, allow them to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice on the bias.

Virtual Machines Allow Kent State Trumbull Students Access Software Packages at No CostPosted Feb. 6, 2012
Kent State Trumbull's remote desktops provide students enrolled in a number of computer technology classes with access to and use of software packages free of charge in order to complete assignments.
Kent State University at Trumbull students enrolled in a number of computer technology classes are afforded savings on software packages, courtesy of the university's remote desktops.
Based on research conducted by Kent State Trumbull Assistant Professor Anthony Zampino and computer lab technician Mark Natale, the university oversaw the installation of remote servers, housing a full suite of Adobe and Microsoft software, which students will be able to access remotely from anywhere in the world.
The remote desktops will provide students with access to and use of those programs free of charge in order to complete assignments.
"For example, Adobe has a 30‐day trial for their CS products," Natale says, "Obviously classes last longer than that timeframe and would otherwise require students to purchase the software, which is well over $800 for the Masters Collection.
"By using the virtual machines, we can provide access to these programs remotely to the students at no additional cost. This allows students to focus on learning, instead of worrying about whether or not they have a computer that's powerful enough to run the software in the first place let alone the cost.
"All they need is access to the Internet. All the workload is handled on the university's end, by our servers. We can even allow students to setup their own servers and operating systems virtually. Basically, what this allows us to do is offer in‐class computer lab classes online and provide students with the ability to use specialized software that they otherwise wouldn't have access to."
Additionally, students won't have to worry about losing their homework, since the programming is housed remotely on a virtual machine. If something were to happen, such as a hard drive crash, or students were to get a virus on their personal machine, the data is kept on the campus machine with 24/7 access.
More than 200 students from more than half a dozen classes took advantage of the remote desktop in the Fall 2011 Semester.
For more information about Kent State Trumbull's virtual machines, contact Natale at email@example.com.

- ESET Smart Security: efficient antivirus and internet security suite will protect your PC but not slow it down - it's just a little light on features
- AhnLab Internet Security
- Avast Premier 2015: the same great protection as Avast's free antivirus, but this paid for security software feels slightly over priced
