wow! I don't think I've ever read a fic that treated Sybil with so much insight and dignity. Good chapter.
Author's Response: So glad I was able to portray Sybill in a new way. I've always felt there was more to this character than just comic relief. Certainly, in retrospect, it's clear that Dumbledore realizes she will be targeted by the Death Eaters and offers her a position at the school to keep her safe. Just look at how he defended her removal from school grounds after Umbridge's performance review; he didn't interfere in any of the toad woman's other staff reductions. In light of what we ultimately learn of Umbridge's true allegiances, I can't help but think that she had ulterior motives all along. Consider that while the other Death Eaters were trying to find a way to retrieve the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries, Umbridge had a Plan B to procure the source of the prophecy instead. Perhaps she was deluded enough to hope that Sybill could provide her dark master with even more prophercies. Removing her from the protection of Hogwarts castle would've been the first step in torturing her for information.
This story has had its ups and downs, but they are all in a better place now.I just wish everybody in the world could have a New Year with the same to look forward to. Happy New year to all fanfiction writers and readers.
Author's Response: And a happy new year to you as well! But don't go thnkng this story is winding down. I still have some twists and turns in store to get the characters lined up for their roles in the epilogue.
Ah -- so it seems that Pygmy Puffs may be related to Tribbles, eh? :-)
I find it interesting (and possibly curious) that the journalist cited last hadn't linked the alternate perspective with Harry's date for the evening.
So Percy does add value to the community after all -- good show!
Well done.
Author's Response: I hadn't thought about the Pygmy Puff - Tribble connection, but it certainly works! I was just thinking about a product that would bring the joke shop a quick proft without having to be engineered, a process which used to be handled by both twins together.
Granted, it could be that the journalist was totally clusless; the example of Rita Skeeter's story about Harry and Hermione's romance at the start of the First Task comes to mind. Knowing what we do about the Prophet needing to sell itself, however, it's also possible that her wording was intended to sitr up speculation thus guaranteeing readers would return for the continuing story. Using Harry's life to sell newspapers in nothing new.
Granted Percy's a bit of a tosser, but I don't think he was ever a convert to the dark side, either. More like he didn't want reality to derail his career, then finally growing the backbone to see that if he didn't fight back, there would be nothing left for anyone. So you could say he starts out a bit like Fudge and then realizes his error. Unlike Fudge, he won't have a career that is based on a series of lcleve fabrications and slight of hand.
Heh ... that was rather fun -- especially the interactions among the various folks. Aunt Muriel's appearances added a touch of ... "otherness," I think. (Aside from Aunt Muriel generally not approving of most anyone anyway, I doubt she'd approve of me -- so I suppose I don't need to be all that careful about wording on her account. :-})
Author's Response: Every family has an Auntie Muriel of sorts; she's really great fun to write. In this instance, everyone just laughs off her narrow-minded views; but in other instances, I can see how she could be a true thorn in the backside.
Fantastically brilliant as always!
Author's Response: Thanks! Hope you like the next part where we here from a new source.
I loved the memorial gallery. Beautiful chapter.
Author's Response: Glad you approve. I so wanted the victory celebration to have a more somber side, Otherwise, it felt too much as if they were dancing on the graves of others.
Wow!!! Great chapter. I really loved the Room of Remembrance (aka The Reliquary). You have created the most unique tribute to those who died for Freedom. I did notice that there wasn't a tribute to Harry's parents, or was that beyond where Kingsley stopped the group for the start of the Ball? I do hope at sometime in the future you will have Harry visiting that particular part, perhaps when Andromeda visits? Bravo I say, Otherwise your inventioness of each display was wonderous .Now the continuing development of Harry and Ginny's is just what I wanted. I look forward to your next.
Author's Response: I Hadn't really considered Harry's parents, seeing as they already have a memorial in Godric's Hollow. The Reliquarry tends to commemorate the heros of the Second Wizarding War. But then again, the incident with Wormtail killling all those Muggles was from the earlier conflict, so I guess you could say everything is all interconnected. Just think of the exhibits as a work in progress.
I absolutely loved this chapter. It was just what was needed. Some lighthearted friend time for Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron. I'm finally caught up. So feel free to write the next chapter. Great story.
Author's Response: Hope you enjoy the next chapter, which is actually a continuation of this one. Lots of lighthearted moments intersperced with some serious ones. I would've had it posted weeks ago had I not been buried in the Christmas avalache.
I think when they looked back at that day, they both knew it was worth facing the Heads displeasure. This was a Dumbledore that was less tolerant. Of course no one ever was in his favor as much as Harry. This was a very enlightening chapter. Thank you.
PS I know that by telling Harry (and Teddy) she brought the beauty of her and Ted's love alive again.
Author's Response: No doubt about it, a younger Dumbledore was not as smooth and polished a manipulator as we see later. Notice how he gives Andromeda and Ted the seeds to discover the Room of Requirement on their own, although they never do. Unlike Harry and Hermione who both remember Dumbledore mentioning it obliquely in offhanded moments.
I say it's about time, for Merlins sake!! The best friends are still helping each other out. It seems Harry just waited until Ginny was ready. She has had her start in Quidditch, she should be able to have a life, not orchestrated by Gwen. I must go to the next. I will say after the last two chapters, this one was very welcome.
Author's Response: Since we already know from the DH Epilogue that Harry and Ginny end up together, it was essential to have some conflict to make the tale interesting. Considering Harry's temper and Ginny's fiery nature (just like her mother, Molly), friction was inevitable. Since Harry's is the primary voice in many parts of the story, it also gave me an opportunity to balance what Ron and Hermione bring to the table..
Thank you for teaming up those who redeveloped the Deluminator. It was getting pretty deep on the other side. I still don't understand.why, but I will continue.
Author's Response: Didn't want you to think I was playing favorites with the "departed" characters which I revisited. Pettigrew, for one, is so much fun to write! Just about everyone had their cameo and those who weren't there are missing for a reason.... That's all I can say for now.
For what purpose was this? I must go on to find out. The worst and the best is to come.
Author's Response: This is the counterpoint to the railway station scene earlier, chapter title "On the Wings of a Thestral", where we learn which other characters have arrived at the heavenly way station. Not to mention that I wanted to explore how Snape would have integrated himself into his new surroundings. His dissatisfaction is a sign of unfinished business in so many areas of his life.
Lots to think about. But loads of wonderful parts. I do have a question. Why is Harry concerned about money? He should have more than enough, considering he inheirited everything from Sirius, and I think the Potters were well to do too?
Author's Response: I actually gave Harry's financial situation a lot of thought. We have Harry's estimation in PS/SS that his parents left him a mountain of gold in their, now his, Gringotts' vault, but can we really trust an eleven-year -old who has no real experience of the world? I found it noteworthy that when he gawks at the new Quidditch brooms in Diagon Alley a few years later, Harry resists the urge to empty out his bank account to have one. Conclusion: either he's very prudent with his $$ by nature, or there really isn't that much in his vault if the putchase of a broom would deplete his resources so much. When in comes to Sirius' townhouse, we all know that it's in a rather shabby state; perhaps funds were too low for Kreacher to do any upkeep while he was hanging about all those years. (He certainly had the capability as demonstrated when he took care of the trio at the start of DH.) Since Sirius, and most likely Remus, had been living in the townhouse during much of OotP, those funds would have been depleted even more. To me, Grimmauld Place gave the impression of a once glorious showpierce of a family who had since fallen on hard times.
Now take into account that Harry has recently bought a flat in the most expensive city in the world (if I'm to believe what I've read about London). He has to shop around to find something that won't "break the bank." Is it too extreme to suppose that he will restrict himself to living within his means? That way, he will still have a nest egg for the future.
P.S. So pleased that this chapter made you examine a number of things.
Oh how very cool. This was an unique view of Heaven. I am glad that Severus is part of the group now.
Author's Response: Couldn't resist catching up with the rest of "the gang." I think that's one of the things that made me write this story, i.e. I wasn't bound by the laws of nature as we know them. Therefore, so many of my favorite characters didn't totally disappear, they just relocated to a different reality.
A very interesting chapter. To counteract an Imperious curse with a potion? Outstanding. It seems like a more modern idea than most that have graced the Wizarding World in a while. I have an idea as to what Hermione is up to, but again I'll defer.
Author's Response: Love potions used to be Molly's specialty at school; I clearly remember reading that in one of the books. As her student, Harry's determined to impress her with his ingenuity. He knows that Hermione's thirst for knowledge guarantees that she, of all people, will not discount his idea as being too far-fetched. I didn't think of Hermione as having an ulterior motive, but perhaps you're right about that.
It's very hard to see Harry being ignored by Ginny. Or is it that the Harpies are not letting her letters through? Surely she put Harry on the list for personal mail that's accepted? At least he has his friends. Hermione and Ron would never let him down. I loved the memories of Ron being introduced to Muggle culture. He puts a different spin on it. Good chapter, But I've noticed that Dumbledores chocolate frog card has not been part of the story for a while. And when will Alistor be able to come back?
Author's Response: Dark days for Harry to be sure -- and Auror training's not a piece of cake, either. Makes him treasure those moments of silliness that he spends with Ron and Hermione. The contrast between our world and the wizarding world never ceases to make us see everyday things in a different light. Moody and Dumbledore will return, but you'll just have to let the story spin out as it will.
And the plot thickens. Pranks and secrets. Surprises and so much more. I do have an idea as to what Minerva is leading Ron to, but I'll wait.
Author's Response: A view of life at Hogwarts, post-Harry. Ron would certainly be the one to note that Fred's memory was living on.
I am of two minds about Mr Diggory. His thoughts after Lunas questions, made me a bit uncomfortable. But he did seem to be open to Hermiones enthusiasm when it comes to Magical beings and creatures. So I'll need to see a bit more before I completely trust him.
Author's Response: I imagined that Amos shared some of Cedric's fair-mindedness. As for Luna, she catches everyone unprepared; it's her trademark of sorts. ..
This is a different Amos than I remember. Wasn't he the one who was cruel to Winky in GoF? I'm sure he has heard a lot about Hermione and her fighting for the rights of other Magical beings. He would be remiss if he didn't recruit her for his department. He does sound like he is looking for reform. He could only triumph with Hermione working with him.
Author's Response: I, too, felt that Amos toed the Ministry's view of elvish inferiority the first time I read GoF. On rereading, however, I came to see him more as a hapless civil servant trying to put on a good show in front of a Ministry bigwig like Crouch Senior. Then having to backpedal when Crouch insisted on Winky's innocence. Crouch then sacking Winky in the next breath left poor Amos reeling with the hypocrisy of it all. Can you blame him for wanting to make a few changes when he finally finds himself at the helm?
Molly as Potions Professor, Brilliant! Having the Potions book that Lily gave Severus was a real surprise, yet it was simply right. It is a little strange that Ginny hasn't been mentioned. Usually Molly is all about what her family is doing. Yet here she is quite silent. All in all it was a wonderful chapter.
Author's Response: I can only imagine Ginny telling her mother to butt out. Besides, Molly will be too caught up in trying to manage her daughter's Quiddtich career to have any energy left over to straighten out her love life as well. Snape's legacy going to Lily's child made perfect sense after he shared his dying memories. Snape is by far one of the most complex and compelling characters in my opinion. IIn many ways, this story helps to keep his memory alive since I couldn't contrive a way to have him cheat death entirely.

Physicists have identified the "quantum glue" that underlies a promising type of superconductivity -- a crucial step towards the creation of energy superhighways that conduct electricity without current loss.
The research, published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is a collaboration between theoretical physicists led by Dirk Morr, professor of physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and experimentalists led by Seamus J.C. Davis of Cornell University and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
This is UIC physicist Dirk Morr, who worked with researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory, says the findings were the result of 'the close collaboration of theory and experiment.'

The earliest superconducting materials required operating temperatures near absolute zero, or −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. Newer unconventional or "high-temperature" superconductors function at slightly elevated temperatures and seemed to work differently from the first materials. Scientists hoped this difference hinted at the possibility of superconductors that could work at room temperature and be used to create energy superhighways.
Superconductivity arises when two electrons in a material become bound together, forming what is called a Cooper pair. Groundbreaking experiments performed by Freek Massee and Milan Allan in Davis's group were analyzed using a new theoretical framework developed at UIC by Morr and graduate student John Van Dyke, who is first author on the report.
Their results pointed to magnetism as the force underlying the superconductivity in an unconventional superconductor consisting of cerium, cobalt and indium, with the molecular formula CeCoIn5.
"For a long time, we were unable to develop a detailed theoretical understanding of this unconventional superconductor," said Morr, who is principal investigator on the study. Two crucial insights into the complex electronic structure of CeCoIn5 were missing, he said: the relation between the momentum and energy of electrons moving through the material, and the 'quantum glue' that binds the electrons into a Cooper pair.
Those questions were answered after the Davis group developed high-precision measurements of CeCoIn5 using a scanning tunneling spectroscopy technique called quasi-particle interference spectroscopy. Analysis of the spectra using a novel theoretical framework developed by Morr and Van Dyke allowed the researchers to extract the missing pieces of the puzzle.
The new insight allowed them to explore the 30-year-old hypothesis that the quantum glue of superconductivity is the magnetic force.
Magnetism is highly directional, Morr said.
"Knowing the directional dependence of the quantum glue, we were able, for the first time, to quantitatively predict the material's superconducting properties using a series of mathematical equations," he said.
"Our calculations showed that the gap possesses what's called a d-wave symmetry, implying that for certain directions the electrons were bound together very strongly, while they were not bound at all for other directions," Morr said. Directional dependence is one of the hallmarks of unconventional superconductors.
"We concluded that magnetism is the quantum glue underlying the emergence of unconventional superconductivity in CeCoIn5."
The finding has "lifted the fog of complexity" surrounding the material, Morr said, and was only made possible by "the close collaboration of theory and experiment, which is so crucial in advancing our understanding of complex systems."
"We now have an excellent starting point to explore how superconductivity works in other complex material," Morr said. "With a working theory, we can now investigate how we have to tweak the system to raise the critical temperature -- ideally, all the way up to room temperature."
In addition to those mentioned above, Cedomir Petrovic of Brookhaven National Laboratory is a co-author on the study.

Comparisons were made with the sizes of the holes in living mammals and reptiles, and their metabolic rates. Measuring mammals ranging from mice to elephants, and reptiles from lizards to crocodiles, one of Professor Seymour's Honours students, Sarah Smith, combed the collections of Australian museums, photographing and measuring hundreds of tiny holes in thigh bones.
"The results were unequivocal. The sizes of the holes were related closely to the maximum metabolic rates during peak movement in mammals and reptiles," Professor Seymour says. "The holes found in mammals were about 10 times larger than those in reptiles."
These holes were compared to those of fossil dinosaurs. Dr Don Henderson, Curator of Dinosaurs from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada, and Daniela Schwarz-Wings from the Museum fr Naturkunde and Humboldt University Berlin, Germany, measured the holes in 10 species of dinosaur from five different groups, including bipedal and quadrupedal carnivores and herbivores, weighing 50kg to 20,000kg.
"On a relative comparison to eliminate the differences in body size, all of the dinosaurs had holes in their thigh bones larger than those of mammals," Professor Seymour says.
"The dinosaurs appeared to be even more active than the mammals. We certainly didn't expect to see that. These results provide additional weight to theories that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and highly active

Customer Reviews
Didn't like this when they made the major change to the app. Still not so keen on the flying plane with blinks lights taking up much of the screen. But the app very clearly displays the key flight information at a glance--of the several flight apps this one is the easiest to use while cruising through an airport. The color coding helps show the flight status. And it has quick navigation to airport info and flight boards. The flight data sources seem to be improved and quicker to update. I think I'm returning to this app. Never cared for tripit (Worldmate and Kayak seem better to me) and don't use the email travel info service this one offers, so that didn't factor into my use of this
Great Upgrade
I used the old Flight Track Pro, and it's a great app, as is this paid upgrade. Like the original, I've been impressed with the developer's attention to detail in making a great iOS app. Flight Track 5 looks and works great on iOS 8.
As for what other reviewers mention, yes it is disappointing that sync now relies on Expedia instead of iCloud, however the trade off is that all you have to do is forward your email confirmations to Expedia to get them imported into your app. It's super slick and saves a bunch of time. Owners of the old Flight Track Pro can continue to use it if they're worried about sharing their travel plans with Expedia.
What happened?
I am rarely brought to the point where I feel the need to post a review (both positive and negative), but version 5 of Flight track is so much worse than version 4, that I just have to rehash what others have already said.
I never use TripIt, so I don't care that it doesn't sync anymore. But what I am angry about is that there is no more iCloud sync. The integrated Expedia sync service only works if you forward them your itinerary. No thanks. I want it to sync flights I enter manually. The new "beautiful" interface is difficult to navigate (someone else mentioned the extra taps required to find flights). Who needs to see a map of the flight path, this is nice eye candy if you want to look at it, but it shouldn't be the first thing you run into when you just want to take a quick glance at your upcoming flights.

At the Cactus Club on Friday night, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead created an extraordinary 3-D simulation of lighted fuses, anticipatory countdowns and shrapnel-filled explosions. »Read Full Article

We stayed three nights but found the power was very unreliable. We couldn't even run our microwave because the power dropped to about 108 volts. Couldn't get level either. WiFi worked sometimes but was most often unusable. Campground is well kept. No store or supplies on site but the Red Barn store is a minute down the road. Easy access to Cabot Trail. - mdjgcl
Sep 2014 - $32.00
This is a nice RV park. Roads are good. Park is clean. We had friends meet us and rent one of the cabins and they are definitely priced too high. Wi-Fi was good and when it went down the staff was quick to respond and reset. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Power was a little low but worked pretty good. Convenient to Cabot Trail and Baddeck. We would stay here again. - RayN
Jun 2014 - $20.00
Sites were roomy enough for our 38' rig. Lots of shade. Satellite TV is a challenge. Site 22 was perfectly quiet - no traffic noise. Wi-Fi was excellent (in June - park was almost empty). Rate is Passport America. We would stay here again. - SusanRon

This a great location for driving the Cabot Trail in either direction. Leave your camper here while you explore the scenic and steep road of the C.T. There is a sign on the road for the CG but the RV sites are not visible since there is a nice forest of evergreens on the paved entry road. Easy check in at office. The sites are on an uphill slope but we were able to get level without too much trouble. Our site had a buffer of bushes for privacy from the adjacent site but many do not. The picnic table was located on uneven ground however so we used some pieces of lumber to get that usable. The shower room is clean and well equipped. The stalls could be a little bigger. The onsite restaurant with limited menu is handy when you don't want to cook or drive to the restaurants in Baddeck. The office has DVD's you can borrow for free as well as a store for things you forgot to bring. Had a nice swim in their pool. The walk to the very small beach is quite long so wear something better than flip flops. WiFi variable and inconsistent. - Parker52
Aug 2014 - $34.00
Rate indicates a good sam discount. Check-in was very easy. However, the first site that we were assigned to was very narrow and not level in either direction. We went back to the office and asked for a different site knowing that we would be there for 3 nights. The woman working the desk appeared to be a little put off by our request. Another worker said that he would look at what he could do for us and that they needed a little time to look at all of the reservations. Sure enough they were able to give us a different site, which we were very happy with. The pedestal had great power and the best water pressure that we have had at any campground. Wifi was available at our site which was a great amenity. We were able to get 2 channels on our antenna. The campground overall has some positives and negatives. First the positives. The campground is in a great location so that you can access the Cabot Trail in either direction. The campground was clean, had a pool, and a small hiking trail along the lake. The negatives: The office closes at 8pm which was quite a drag as we never made it back in the evening before that so we could buy fire wood. We tried to purchase some wood at the local gas stations but they did not sell any either. This campground has several sites that I would not stay on. It is on the side of a hill and many of the sites have roots all over them. So when you step out of your camper you nearly twist an ankle. We also noticed that kids run around the campground and even through your site with no regards. Staff is no where to be found nor are the kids parents to patrol the campground and everyone just does what they want. If we were to travel in the area again we would try a different campground. - clw_man
Jun 2014 - $30.00
Very friendly and helpful staff. Extremely clean washrooms and showers (3). It was early in their season. We only needed 15A but office staff suggested 15A sites were further away from facilities, so they said we could find a 30A site closer to washrooms, etc. for the same price. We appreciated that as my wife uses a wheelchair. I would definitely recommend this campground and will stay there again when I am in the area. - DCM/JMB

This park is overpriced, poorly maintained, and our site was extremely small. I had to park our tow vehicle on the adjacent site which thankfully was not rented the time we were there or I would have had to put our truck somewhere that would have been quite inconvenient to the site. Our site had a weedy gravel patch for parking the trailer which was not level and severely mounded. Our picnic table sat in a muddy ditch adjacent to the site next door where we parked our truck. This ditch was about 5 feet wide and then you had the weedy gravel patch for the adjacent site. We noted that most of the other sites had a similar arrangement and that the other pads were also not maintained. The park did have good Wi-Fi, however. We would not stay here again. - User3589
Aug 2013 - $40.00
Well-run CG very close to Baddeck (Alex Graham Bell museum). Everything works well - hook-ups, Wi-Fi, etc. Very nice and helpful people. Good laundromat. Adequate but not generous spacing for sites. Access to the lake from a small rocky beach. OK for dog walking but not much open space. Just off the main highway, so try to stay further back towards the lake away from the road noise. - virginianola
Jul 2013 - $40.00
Very good experience. Best, most consistent Internet service of entire trip. Electric was 50 amps more or less. At 48 amps, it sometimes tripped breaker. They had just had lots of rain and mud was resolving. Pool was good, but not heated. Pleasant staff. Helpful. I would stay here again. - Freshtracks

In November 2008, Circuit City filed for bankruptcy protection. Circuit City had the same business model as Best Buy: selling electronic equipment in large retail stores. Other retailers with that business model are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with online sales from companies such as Amazon, eBay, or Walmart. Best Buy's store sales have fallen for the last eight quarters while expenses increase. Although Best Buy has a large cash buffer, many analysts believe it is only a matter of time before Best Buy also files for bankruptcy, perhaps in 2013.
To the extent they have not already done so, companies that sell products to Best Buy should consider how their rights will be affected in a bankruptcy case and what they can do now to minimize future losses and avoid litigation. Issues that should be considered are, among others, whether to retain or change existing credit terms, how to collect on unpaid invoices, how to reclaim goods in the event of bankruptcy filing, how to stop goods in transit, how to protect rights to be paid for goods delivered in the 20 days before any bankruptcy filing, whether to file a proof of claim, whether to accelerate termination of contracts, and the impact on intellectual property rights. Companies should also review their credit insurance policies to assess potential coverage and ensure compliance with notice requirements and other conditions.
Orrick's restructuring lawyers can help companies navigate through these issues, having worked on numerous retail bankruptcies, as both creditors' and debtors' counsel, including the Circuit City and Kodak bankruptcies. If you have questions or concerns about the Best Buy situation, please do not hesitate to reach out to any one of the following lawyers:

Visited in their Staten Island home, 88-year-old Maratea and longtime companion Daphne Samuels are most gracious, and have only kind things to say about Falade. Maratea has been active in real estate since he was 16, and ran twin real estate and food businesses for 50 years before undergoing open-heart surgery in 1995. He came to be regarded in the area, in his own words, "like the Godfatherthe good Godfather." Full of aphorisms ("If you give a wrong order to someone, they'll do it right away. If you give them a right one, it'll take forever" or "It's not wrong to be wrong if you're wrong"), Maratea suggests that Falade should quit his DEC job in order to stay on top of managing the properties. Of tenants, Maratea says, "You've got to minimize their ability to destroy. They know what to do not to pay rent."
Along with the lessons he's passed on to Falade, Maratea is also not shy about disclosing some of the fringe benefits of Falade's owning properties once his. It was Maratea who originally showed an 1122 New York Avenue apartment to and negotiated the rent with ex-tenant Sandra Marcano, the plaintiff in the rent overcharge case. When Marcano won the case, she was awarded future income from the building to compensate her for the excess rent she'd paid Olufemi-Nostrand Realty, the Falade company that bought the property from Maratea in 1995. Now that Maratea has foreclosed on Falade and is preparing to retake control of the building, he's also preparing to punish Marcano, who has moved out but is still expecting the repayment called for in the court judgment. Since Marcano's claim is subordinate to Maratea's mortgage, he announces with some satisfaction: "We're gonna knock her out."

Samsung brings smaller version of S4 to US
Thursday - 10/24/2013, 5:30pm EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Samsung is making a smaller version of its flagship Galaxy S4 phone available in the United States next month.
The screen is 4.3 inches diagonally, compared with 5 inches for the regular S4. Nonetheless, the Mini version is still larger than the latest, 4-inch iPhones.
Phone companies have been making their flagship devices in multiple sizes to appeal to a broad range of consumers. Some may prefer a smaller device that fits nicely in a pocket, while others want the larger text that comes with the bigger screen.
AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and U.S. Cellular will sell the Mini. Prices weren't announced, but they are likely to be about $100 with a two-year agreement. Samsung says a software update will make the Mini compatible with its new Galaxy Gear computerized watch.

The world of the M9 Girls
We are complicated, what did you expect? Anyway, let's try and tell you a little bit about us.
We attend college and, during our free time, work part-time for Professor T.X. in a science project. A science project that went thru a –uh– interesting turn recently. We have changed as a result, though we are the same fun-loving, sometimes geeky, girls.
The M9 Girls
The Allies
Vero (Golden). Reclusive and sullen, Vero prefers to be known by her alter-ego. She loves martial arts and has a way with gadgets and technology. Ironically, at college she hangs out with Karla, whom she considers her best friend.
Professor T.X. He holds Ph.D.s in Physics and Genetics. The Professor seems to have severed links with his past, living in auto-imposed exile. Though agreeable, most of the time he becomes lost in his inner thoughts.

HAMPTON-Cities and counties across the ABC13 viewing area are dealing with the aftermath of a deep snow.
Hampton received about 8 inches of snow Tuesday evening and into Wednesday morning.
High on the priority list is clearing the roads so people can safely venture out. The main roads, like Mercury Blvd., are fairly clear, but residential streets are icy and packed with snow.
A byproduct of plowing, though, is that snow gets pushed to the side, sometimes making it difficult to move in and out of some side roads.
City officials say they'll continuing to treat roads with salt and brine throughout the day Thursday.

Positioned as lesser-known ?little brother? to Adam Beyer?s globally renowned Drumcode brand, Truesoul has to varying extent existed in the shadows since its conception in 2002. Never designed to be a label that you could set your watch by, releases have come sporadically over the past nine years, albeit when they have come they have always made an impact. Notable examples include much of Beyer?s most recent material including his last studio album, Ignition Key; experimental work from Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull, Dustin Zahn and Nihad Tule; and contributions from Cirez D, Steve Rachmad and Ida Engberg. Originally established as a channel for more alternative material, Adam Beyer?s Truesoul label continues to provide a deeper, left-of-centre alternative to the Swede?s more functional Drumcode output with recent releases such as Joel Mull?s beautifully elegant ?Sensory? album, Maetrik?s chart-topping ?The Entity, Adam Beyer?s Diana Ross (!) sampling ?No Rain? and Patrick Siech and Gustav Sollscher?s sonically diverse ?The Watch Receiver? EP setting the tone for what is to come as Truesoul continue their push to become one of the go-to labels for fans of deeper techno and edgy tech house in 2012. The next chapter in Truesoul?s evolving story comes from Marc Antona. With discography highlights that include releases for Mobilee, Highgrade, Micro-Fibers and, most recently, his own Dissonant label, Antona is an already familiar name to followers of quality techhouse and the deeper, groovier side of techno. Impressive career credentials that have been galvanized by Marc?s appearances for Cadenza as part of their Vagabundos tours. With such experience behind the Ibiza-based producer, it comes as no surprise that this EP brings the kind of sunshine sensuality to Truesoul that has come to characterize the soundtrack of dance music?s Mecca with the sultry percussion and understated funk of ?Gloves Off? or the perpetual bass groove and twitching rhythm of ?Darwin?s Corner Stone?.

3 QC cops, tipster face robbery, extortion case
The Quezon City Prosecutor's Office has recommended that cases be filed against three police rookies and their tipster who were arrested last week for allegedly robbing a man and then extorting P10,000 from him.
Police Officers 1 Ryan Parungo, Dennis Maagda and Ronnel Biag—assigned at the Anonas police station of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD)—now face robbery and extortion charges along with John Dominic Laudio, an informant.
An additional charge of usurpation of authority was also recommended against Laudio by Assistant city prosecutor Diovie Macaraig-Calderon after he passed himself off as a policeman.
The three policemen likewise face administrative charges for grave misconduct and would undergo summary dismissal proceedings.
In a press conference on Monday, a QCPD official warned that policemen who commit illegal acts would not go unpunished.
"We would like to remind our policemen that being a police officer is a noble calling and should not be taken lightly or as a means for personal gain," said QCPD deputy district director for administration Senior Supt. Joel Pagdilao.
The three policemen were arrested on Thursday in an entrapment operation conducted by their fellow law enforcers from the QCPD Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit and Masambong police station.
Their immediate superior, Anonas police station commander Supt. Richard Fiesta, said that Parungo, 31, and Maagda, 26, were from the National Capital Region Police Office while Biag, 25, was an organic member of the QCPD.
A background check showed that Parungo has been in the service for five years while Biag and Maagda have served for four and three years, respectively.
"Our check also showed that so far, these three have not been involved in such cases in the past," Fiesta said.
Earlier, a 29-year-old man from Cavite province said a male sex worker known only as "Renz" approached him at a mall at North Avenue on Wednesday. The couple ended up at the fastfood restaurant in Philcoa where the victim said he was accosted by Parungo, Maagda and Laudio.
The victim said the three forced him to get into a police car where they took his cell phones, P800 in cash, two ATM cards and watch.
He added that the three initially demanded P25,000 in exchange for not filing alarm and scandal and drug charges against him although the amount was lowered to P10,000.—Julie M. Aurelio

Almodovar project is in ruins
Months after James Cameron's "The Last Tomb of Christ" documentary stirred controversy by claiming it had discovered the bones of Jesus Christ and his family, El Deseo has started preproduction on the feature-length film in co-production with Explora Films.
Documentary specialist Jose Manuel Novoa will direct the film that will combine the dig's discoveries with a re-creation of Sipan's life with elaborate set designs, including a pyramid and costumes.
According to El Deseo, the tale of the man who ruled Peru some 1,700 years ago includes sackings, murders and intrigue "in the purest style of adventure film."
Spanish pubcaster Television Espanola and the Spanish Geographic Society are supporting the project, which boasts a $1 million budget.
Calling it the "the main archeological discovery of the 20th century in America, comparable to the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb," El Deseo said it anticipates news in the coming months that will make headlines worldwide.
Archeologist Walter Alva discovered the tomb some 20 years ago and is heading the dig, which has already unearthed new graves, temples and multicolored facades.

Oil change after 8 month storage
Want to see what you guys think...
My 04 KTM 950 has been in storage for 8 months. Gonna knock out an oil change, but do you think I should warm it up first as during a regular oil change, or do you think I should drain it cold? I imagine all gunk/crap has settled to the bottom of the case. Do I want to start it up and have that crap disperse throughout the crak case/motor, or just drain it cold?
Warm it up. It has filters for a reason.
Add some fuel stabilizer to it...
If you didn't drain the fuel out of the bike before storage, I'd run a fuel treatment into it to help break down any fuel breakdown build up. I like the Yamalube ring clean.
also warming it helps to release deposits that might accumulate and not be drained
BUT, of course you changed the oil BEFORE you stored it? Otherwise the acids and water have had 8 months to etch all the parts.
Go ahead and warm it up. Ride it for 20 min or so. Open the filler cap and open all the drain plugs to get the hot oil out fast.
Sounds good
Sounds like the genereal consensus is to warm it up, will do.
Of note, oil was changed prior to storage and I topped the fuel off with ethanol free fuel (I only run ehtanol free fuel unless on a trip and can't find it), added a fuel stabilizer, and ran it for 15 minutes to get the stabilizer throughout the fuel system.
Thanks for the replies.
If you put in fresh oil before you stored it why bother changing it out now? :dunno
I'm in the same position but I bought the bike from a guy who had it sitting for two years! :huh
Will follow suggestions above for oil, what about changing out fork oil as well? Suggestions?
The oil drains from 4? places? I think it will drain ok cold. I don't guess the oil temp maters much.
The gas on the other hand.........
I would drain that shit out of the carbs and tank an run a mix of fuel cleaner and gas through it. Maybe run it and let it sit and run it and let it sit repeat etc. The carbs may be fucked up.
Yep, if it was sitting for 8 months with clean oil in it I would run with that oil for sure. It's not out of date and changing it costs money and wastes resources (No I'm not a greenie but seriously, that's brand new oil you'd be tossing!)
If you filled up with non-ethanol gas and added stabilizer I'd run the gas as well. I'm not certain how finicky the 950's carbs are but I've run real gas that old without issue on many other carbed bikes. On the other hand if you think the gas is questionable no harm in filling up the car with it and get fresh for the bike.
Oh and I'm in the always drain oil warm camp. Running before draining helps get the contaminants in suspension so they come out with the oil. The only time I would drain cold would be if the motor had ingested a good bit of water.

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed on what could be the final contract for the future Hall of Famer.
A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday that Nowitzki would get a three-year contract worth roughly $30 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.
Nowitzki tweeted out MFFL Thursday afternoon, a possible confirmation of the move.
Bringing back the German susperstar was the Mavericks' No. 1 priority in the offseason, so it's no surprise the deal got done expediently, though it can't be made official for another week. Dirk had said he would wait to re-sign until after Carmelo Anthony made his visit to Dallas.
The 36-year-old Nowitzki is taking a big pay cut with a contract similar in value and structure to the one Tim Duncan signed with San Antonio two years ago.
Duncan, who also took a much lower salary, is exercising a player option to return for the final season of his deal after helping the Spurs win their fifth title since 1999.
If reports are accurate on the money involved with the Nowitzki deal, the Mavericks would still have cap space to sign free agents.
The re-signing may be the first step toward abandoning the idea of Anthony in a Mavericks jersey, but the organization has flexibility to offer competitive contracts to Luol Deng or Chandler Parsons, who may each be available in the wake of Anthony's free agency resolution.
ESPN's Marc Stein reports the Nowitzki deal has a player option in 2016 and preserves the no-trade clause that existed in his previous contract.
Nowitzki is a 12-time NBAAll-Star and has averaged over 22 points per game in his 16 seasons with Dallas.

Santa Clarita residents only have a couple days to finish getting ready for the school year. The Newhall School District's school year begins on Tuesday for McGrath Elementary School and Wednesday for the rest of the district. The Saugus, Sulper Springs, and Castaic School Districts begin on Thursday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to you inbox.
Here is a list of back-to-school ideas to make the transition easier:
- Take inventory of last year's supplies to see what is left over and can be reused.
- Make sure to buy lots of extras before school starts and take advantage of back to school sales.
- About two weeks before school starts: begin going to bed and getting up on a school schedule
- If you have medical concerns, make sure to meet with the school nurse prior to the first day, especially if medicine must be given at school.
- Remember school dress codes when buying clothing.
- Create a homework center stocked with extra crayons and supplies needed to complete homework. Make sure it's not near a T.V.
- Get a couple of rolls of quarters and dimes; put them in a cabinet so you do not have to hunt for change at the last minute.
- Label all items that will be taken to school or worn and taken off at school
- Make a special box for your children to place forms from school which need special attention.
- Pack lunches and backpacks the night before and lay out clothes for the next day

SAY YOU'RE A Supersucker, one of four blasphemous Tucson boys who came barreling out of the desert in '91--via Seattle, natch--to preach a raucous gospel of beer, weed and punkabilly. Your last LP, 1995's Sacrilicious, was an obnoxious tour de force, a smart-assed amalgam of high-octane twang and poppy cowpunk send-up. To many, you're alt-rock's incarnation of Randall "Tex" Cobb's demonic biker in Raising Arizona. Question: Where to go next?
Answer: "... down that old dirt road to the country," according to the liner notes for Must've Been High. Between the ongoing No Depression vogue and the troublingly authentic C&W sound of Ween's last record, going the acoustic backwoods route ain't exactly a bold notion these days. But by preserving the snide self-awareness of their rowdier discography, frontman Eddie Spaghetti and company manage to turn down the amps and fire up the fiddler without inviting poseur tags, kicking some affecting tumbleweed tunage in the process.
Timeless old-timer Willie Nelson (who appears to make a phone-in cameo on the title track) has built a career on writing what he knows, come hell or high water. So when would-be progeny Spaghetti croons about drugs ("Non-Addictive Marijuana"), music press ("The Captain"), and concert security ("Barricade"), you can't fault him for pretense. On "Hungover Together," he pairs with Kelley Deal to squeeze romance out of a grisly morning-after, aided by seamless lap steel; Deal makes a charming Patsy-esque partner, too, and all the more poignant for her real-life recovery-girl status.
In the end, though, their country commitment feels fly-by-night, and the next Supersuckers chapter will likely find them back in their bad-ass rock saddle. But this here's a detour that just happens to be worthwhile.
Supersuckers play Thursday at the 400 Bar.
