"Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Brightcove, told CNBC, 'One of the really exciting things that we saw was the continued very broad based adoption of online video and these mobile apps; we grew our customer base almost fifty percent year over year and that was from almost every sector of society.'"

"Technology provider RAMP is announcing this morning that ABCNews.com and CNBC.com are now using its web closed captioning solution, and that it has made a number of enhancements in order to better meet the needs of customers. For those not familiar with web closed captioning, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act signed in Oct. 2010 mandates that by the end of 2012, all video originally aired on broadcast or cable TV networks, which is then delivered online, must include closed captions."

"CNBC's sophisticated business and investor audience demands the financial news, real-time market data and analysis they care about when and where they want it, across multiple platforms. The Google TV platform allows the opportunity to provide our audience with a personalized experience directly on the TV screen.
The CNBC Real-Time App not only gives users access to real-time stock quotes – before, during and after market hours, directly from both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Marketplace, but also uniquely allows them to personalize stock watch lists and view related news clips on their stocks."
"Read all about it…new in the Channel Store…Roku adds CNBC Real-Time. I just need a drivers cap and some suspenders, speaking of which, anyone remember Newsies? I digress. Anyways, here is a closer look at the new CNBC channel on Roku.
CNBC Real-Time:
CNBC Real-Time features live, real-time stock quotes directly from the NYSE and NASDAQ. Additionally, the channel offers a personalized watch list (with the click of the remote, you can edit your stock list), news alerts and CNBC's editor's picks for the most important news videos of the day."
CNBC, the business and financial news channel, has launched a real-time news app for connected TVs in the UK and EMEA regions.
"It's no secret that the line between print media and electronic media has been blurring for years as newspapers and magazines have created in-depth web sites and begun offering on-demand audio and video. Over at WSJ.com things are becoming even blurrier, as lately the site has been persistently live streaming its "News Hub" show prominently above the fold on its home page, creating a bona fide alternative to financial news networks like CNBC and Bloomberg."

A recent diagnostic study of the country's tax administration conduct by McKinsey &Company has shown that 65 per cent of eligible corporate tax payers, especially from the non-oil sector, are not filing returns to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, stated this yesterday at the FIRS Stakeholders Engagement Forum held in Lagos.
The minister who presented a keynote address at the event noted that the forum was being held on the heels of the successful hosting of the World Economic Forum on Africa (WEFA) by Nigeria, remarking that the Nigerian edition of the WEFA attracted 1,021 global participants, the highest attendance by any WEF, outside Davos; the headquarters of the forum.
She noted that there was a huge turnout by the international community because of the underlying strength of the Nigerian economy, remarking that the underlying strength of the Nigerian economy is not the oil sector but the non-oil sector.
Okonjo-Iweala explained that the recent rebasing of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) has also shown that tax contribution to the new GDP has fallen from 20 per cent to 12 per cent and there was need to step up to the plate in order to increase the country's tax to GDP ratio and ratio of oil to non-oil tax collection from the present level in line with the level of other emerging economies of the world.
She noted that the engagement of McKinsey, who provided technical assistance in implementing a Capacity Enhancement Programme (CEP) for the FIRS, has made the FIRS to embark on eight new initiatives in the areas of audits, arrears and debt enforcement, tax exemptions, evasion, registration, filing and improved communication, adding that the FIRS has already begun to see results from the implementation of these initiatives.
She said that one of the positive outcomes of the reforms in the FIRS is the recent payment of about N200 billion income tax by the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), which has been enjoying tax holidays to the FIRS.
In his welcome address, the acting executive chairman of the FIRS, Kabir Mashi, said the stakeholders' engagement forum is an initiative that flows out of their CEP which is a project designed to enhance the technical and human resource capabilities of FIRS towards improving non-oil revenue collection.
He said the forum is to reassure taxpayers that FIRS appreciate their efforts in contributing to national development over the years by paying their taxes.

We believe that it is especially when times are hard that we must recognise the efforts, dedication and commitment that people are making to face up to the difficulties and contribute to the development of the capital markets. This year's awards reinforce our belief that many of the factors that help us overcome problems may be decisively and positively influenced by all those who are an integral part of the capital markets ecosystem."
He added: "In a context where technology plays a more important role than ever, thus pulling the market players apart more often, the Awards also contribute to the promotion of a greater reinforcement of the human role which is fundamental to any activity."
And concluded: "We are confident that there are many opportunities for the development of the capital markets, not as an end but as a means for the economic development of our country. To that purpose, we hope that the Awards are an incentive to the winners and nominees as well as to everyone who contributes to the development of our market and consequently our country."

What an eventful year! With so much having happened, I wanted to reflect a moment on all of the blog-inspired changes made this year.

Me and my hair It's been awhile since we chatted about beauty routines and cleansing habits. Since starting a new job, I've eased up on the no shampoo thing. My scalp was getting increasingly irritated by the baking soda and vinegar which resulted in… flakes. What I have been doing is washing my hair every … Continue reading

One goal in each half gave Borough their second home league win of the season against a spirited Leatherhead side that were far better than their league position would suggest.
Dave Anderson made just one change to the starting line up with Reggie Savage replacing Mo Habu who was joined on the bench by new signings Will Viner and Aryantaf Tajbakhsh.
Leatherhead started the brighter and Nick Pope had to be alert to palm away a dangerous cross and the resulting corner. Boroughs first threatening attack was courtesy of a poor back pass that allowed Schoburgh to race clear but his shot was well saved by Ramos in the visiting goal.
Mid way through the first half Borough has a spell of continuous pressure, Garry Jones delivered two excellent in swinging corners from the right wing, one of which cleared everybody in the goal mouth and hit the inside of the far post but somehow rebounded back into play. A sweeping move down the left side involving Walters then Jones & Delgado who was able to feed J J Bates but his cross shot was blocked by Ramos.
From a corner on the left wing taken by Schoburgh the ball was hit low towards the near post Pestle completely missed his kick which wrong footed Ramos allowing Evandro Delgado to pounce at the far post to prod the ball home to give Borough the Lead
Leatherhead immediately hit back shooting from long range forcing Nick Pope to tip the ball over the bar at full stretch. Tommy Hutchings twice came within inches of equalising, first curling a free kick inches wide of the post, then just off target with another shot from well outside the area.
Leatherhead started the second half on the attack with a powerful shot that Nick Pope did very well to save. After just 5 minutes of the second half Leatherhead made a double substitution and continued to attack without any rewards.
Borough counter attacked with Delgado running with the ball nearly the full length of the pitch exchanging passes with Savage but could not get enough power on hit shot to trouble Ramos. Wolleaston then had a shot that was inches away from extending Boroughs lead.
Bradnock-Brennan had to be replaced by Joe Kelly at right back shortly before Leatherhead thought they had equalised but were denied by a linesman's flag for off side. Borough then had their best spell of the second half with both Jones and Savage going close.
Boroughs second goal arrived in the 78th minute, a flowing move with J J Bates feeding Schoburgh down the right wing, his powerful cross was steered home perfectly be Reggie Savage. The Leatherhead were defence appealing for offside more in hope than expectation.
Leatherhead were not finished, they forced Nick Pope to make a further save on his final appearance for The Boro before returning to Charlton at the end of his three month loan period. Then when Pope was beaten Kelly was able to clear from on the line.
Kelly himself had to leave the field due to a shoulder injury, leaving Borough to see out the six minutes of stoppage time with just 10 men having used all three substitutes .

Project Details
This artist's studio was created out of two bays on the second floor of a former warehouse. Sliding and pivoting 9'x9' wall panels run adjacent to the large, central wood beam and allow the 3,750 square-foot space to be reconfigured as needed. A "working wall" runs the entire length of the south wall, pulling away from the exterior wall in one area to provide space for a utility room and bathroom. A new steel stair was inserted to connect the ground floor to the studio and up to a small roof deck. A skylight tops the stairwell to bring daylight into the studio and down to the entrance. The building's history and its uses remain evident in the patina of the floors which were simply cleaned rather than resurfaced.

Police & Crime Commissioner, Alun Michael, and Chief Constable, Peter Vaughan, have reaffirmed their commitment to significantly reduce violence against women and girls, with a joint-action plan.
The aim is to build on existing work with partners to:
Tackling violence against women and girls is a policing priority in the Commissioner's 2014 Police and Crime Reduction Plan. The Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls action plan is the result of a thematic review and aims to help those affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence, stalking, female genital mutilation, trafficking, and so-called "honour" based crimes.
Gender-based violence is currently a priority due to the numbers of women and girls at risk but the Commissioner and Chief Constable are determined in their commitment to ensure all victims of abuse feel able to report crimes and are supported with the best possible service.
This work gives an opportunity to improve the safety of women and girls across South Wales by linking police action with the proposals of the Welsh Government in the forthcoming legislation on Ending Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence.
To view the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Plan please see below;
Violence against women is defined by the United Nations as any act of gender based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women. This includes the threat of such violence, coercion or loss of freedom, whether it happens in public or private.
It includes:
What about violence against men?
We know that men and boys can also be affected by this type of abuse and violence and we will ensure that the police continue to support male victims. However, women are known to be disproportionately affected in terms of the number and seriousness of incidents and this is why we are focussing on violence against women and girls.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales says that nearly one in three women will have experienced domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime and nearly one in five women will have experienced some form of sexual violence.
There are a number of organisations that can offer advice and help for anyone affected by violence against women and girls:

Two people were displaced from a home in the 1000 block of Franklin St. Monday when their home was damaged by fire.
The Monroe Fire Department responded to the blaze, which occurred around 5:45 a.m. The home, which was occupied by two people at the time of the fire, had "significant" fire damage in one room where the fire was concentrated.
"The room and all of its contents have fire damage," said Joe Mominee, deputy director of public safety with the City of Monroe.
A cat died in the fire. According to Mr. Mominee, there were no other injuries.
The Monroe County fire investigation team is checking into the cause of the fire, which remains undetermined.
"We believe it started in the living room but the cause of the fire still is under investigation," he said.
Due to extensive fire and heat damage on the first floor of the house, it is not livable. The family is staying with relatives.
The City of Monroe Police Department and Monroe Township Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Platypus - PlatyPreserve - 4 Pack
Quick OverviewKeep your wine fresh while in the backcountry
- Description
Whether you are a connoisseur, an enthusiast or a casual admirer of wine, one truth remains: the delicate taste of wine changes upon exposure to oxygen. That means wine is best enjoyed within a few hours of being opened. If not properly preserved, wine can go bad in as little as 2 to 8 hours. The PlatyPreserve is the best way to protect the taste of an opened bottle of wine by completely eliminating the presence of oxygen. While alternative methods might have you pump air out of the bottle or inject gas into the bottle- PlatyPreserve has you transfer your un-finished wine into an air tight reservoir to truly protect the taste of your wine so it may be enjoyed several days or even weeks later. It is also a lot easier and lighter to pack than glass bottles.
International Restrictions Apply

The agonising wait is over, the spring daffodils are here which can only mean one thing…Formula 1 is back!
For me I am as excited as ever for the first race this weekend, I have been watching Formula 1 for twenty-five years and as any F1 fanatic knows you should never take much notice of the winter testing performances of the teams. But for the twenty-fifth time I have been sucked in and I have hyped myself up, the whole pack seem closer than ever and I can't wait for the first practice session on Friday morning!
And so we head down under for the opener at Melbourne for the Australian grand prix, 'A great place for a race' as the slogan says which could not be more accurate. Melbourne, home to over four million Melbournians is one of the wealthiest and most beautiful cities in the world, it was officially declared a city in 1847 by Queen Victoria well before Formula 1 ever existed, but has become intrinsically linked in with the history and heritage of the great city.
This weekend will mark the 17th Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne and I have high hopes of it living up the past reputation and the slogan of a great race. The track it's self is officially a street track but it is far from what you would expect from a street race, its 16 turns stretch over 5.3 smooth kilometres reaching very high speeds whilst racing through public roads and car parks, which fortunately will not be in use this weekend! The track does have decent run off areas and gravel traps in case a driver while racing on the limit makes a mistake, these are certainly things of which the drivers will be extremely grateful. Just ask Martin Brundle who, in 1996 on lap one barrel-rolled his Jordan several times down into turn 2 and landed upside down only to climb out and run for the spare car…a real no-nonsense old-school racing driver! It does however also highlight the thrills and spills which Melbourne has given to us down the years and hopefully 2012 will continue in that same vein. The race will play host to six world champions on the grid for the first time in the history of the sport, which could indicate a more even playing field. This seasons testing does seem to corroborate with this, suggesting the gap between the teams appears smaller, especially in the midfield; the majority of the paddock are predicting a very close and tight battle and hopefully they are right.
As this is the Australian Grand Prix I would also like to mention one of the two Aussie racers on the grid this year, namely the one with more chance of victory, Mark Webber. He had a sensational debut race in 2002 driving for the Minardi team managing an amazing fifth place and subsequently a high scoring point's finish and who knows; maybe his fellow countrymen Daniel Ricciardo could replicate that achievement this time around!
Since that brilliant 2002 finish Webber's best finish was in 2009 finishing in 2nd place having failed to convert pole position into a victory. This season he is hoping to start off the new campaign by winning in front of his home crowd but he knows that he will have to beat his teammate Sebastian Vettel first who just so happens to be the reigning back-to-back world champion. The confident German has also amazingly declared himself hot favourite to win and won't give Mark any favours on home-soil. However, murmurings from inside the Red-Bull camp suggest that Mark has come back from the winter break a refreshed a revitalised man and you would think that given his superior experience Vettel's mind-games will do little to deter the man who races under the mantra of 'Aussie Grit' from taking his first home victory.
Now to McLaren, who have gone extremely well in testing this year. This is something that will certainly please team-principal Martin Whitmarsh after the team endured a dire 2011 testing season. Referring back once again to new Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle who has suggested that Lewis and Jenson's car looked the best handing car during the tests at Barcelona. This, along with the team's great history around the streets of Melbourne should ensure they will be hotly contesting victory come Sunday, they are looking in great shape; now they must turn this potential in to wins.
So, it's looking like a fight at the front between the Red Bulls, the McLarens and possibly even the Mercedes' of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher, the German team appearing to have closed the gap at least on the famous Prancing Horse of Ferrari if not the big two of McLaren and Red Bull. The midfield battle between the likes of Force India, Sauber, Williams and the Toro Rosso's is set to be more competitive than Formula 1 has seen in decades, also we must not count out Caterham in the aforementioned list that have seen a massive step forward in testing, undoubtedly aided by their brand-spanking new KERS. As I have already said all this is based on winter testing and it is debatable how much can be read into it, what is important now is that all the talking and murmurings about who handled better in Jerez has to stop. The gloves are well and truly off and we will find out for real who has done the best job over the winter come qualifying on Saturday morning.
My qualifying predictions are a customary pole position for Sebastian Vettel followed by the two McLarens of Lewis and Jenson with Webber 4th. Come race day my prediction is another Vettel victory with a McLaren and our returning champion Kimi Raikkonen on the podium and with both Williams' in the points. What are your predictions? Find out if you're right get an early night on Saturday we have a an early start…
My alarm is set and I can hardly wait…

The release notes state...
which in turn reveals...
This SDK release provides the same developer tools as the Android 1.5 SDK, Release 1, but provides an updated Android 1.5 system image that includes a security patch for the issue described in the oCert advisory below:
Interesting... also the probable cause of the Cupcake update delays perhaps?
Android, an open source mobile phone platform, improperly checks developer certificates when installing packages that request the shared user identifier (uid) permission.
Normally, Android applications will be allowed to share a uid if the packages are all signed by the same developer certificate and request permission to do so at install-time. This allows for packages from the same author to share data. Without enforcement of that behavior, it is possible for any application to be installed in such a manner that it gains access to another (existing) application's data.

I totally agree that the probability of a stone flipping up and punching a hole in my oil filter is slim, very slim. However, I do an awful lot of "looking around corners" trying to prevent or be ready for what may happen. The odds are higher that I may crash or be hit so I wear a Roadcrafter. I've had a few nail punctures of tires over the years so I always have the means to fix, inflate and get back on the road with me as 'just another tool'......
What goes through my imagination, beyond oil starvation/engine seizure, is my being unaware of the event temporarily and then losing it in the oil slick following the puncture.
I'm done.

A Rosh Hashanah Lunch Menu
4 comments | Leave Comment
We have lots of amazing Rosh Hashanah menus around here, but most are for dinner. Now don't get me wrong, dinner is one of my three favorite meals of the day. But with three (way past) overtired children, I sometimes prefer to entertain for lunch. Sure shul may go on until 2pm, but when we get back everyone is truly hungry and it is a perfect time to show off some yummy creations.
On Shabbat, I like to mix it up and serve different kinds of breads, but on Rosh Hashanah a round challah is a must! After filling up on my delicious Apple Challah for the first night, I go for a lighter Orange and Date Challah during the day.
A Pomegranate Guacamole is a favorite spread that is a perfect compliment to this Cucumber and Black Bean Salsa Salad.
For the main course, I am going to make a Mango Chicken that can be served hot or cold. On the side will be Yellow Rice with Cilantro and some Garlicky Green Beans.
If I am feeling wild, I will make these Margarita Cupcakes, but more likely I will go with my mom's traditional and incredibly Easy Honey Cake.
I showed you mine now it's your turn, what are you making for your YomTov?

St Andrew's Cathedral School is an independent, non-selective, Anglican, co-educational, day school located in the heart of the city of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school currently caters for approximately 1,100 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
As the school was founded in 1885, from the Cathedral traditions, St Andrew's is legally supervised by the Cathedral Chapter which appoints and approves members of the School Council which was formed in 1979. The Council is responsible for administering the School's policies and formulating its mission and vision as well as appointing successive Heads of School. A boys' school for much of its history, St Andrew's opened its doors to senior girls (Year 10 to 12) in 1999. In 2008, the school became a co-educational school with boys and girls enroled from Kindergarten to Year 12.
The School is a member of the International Choir Schools' Association, the Independent Schools Association (ISA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA).
The school announced that it anticipates introducing the International Baccalaureate program by around 2009.
St Andrew's Cathedral School was founded by the third Bishop of Sydney, Dr Alfred Barry. The School was opened on 14 July 1885 in the St Andrew's Schoolroom in Pitt Street, Sydney. At the School opening, Bishop Barry stated that St Andrew's was established to provide "the choristers with a high-class, free education on Church principles, in addition to a musical training". When it was opened, the School occupied the Old Baptist Church premises, on the corner of Bathurst and Kent Streets, where it remained until 1882. The School started with 27 boys, of whom 22 were choristers and although it was later nicknamed the "Choir School", provision was made for non-choristers to attend. Enrolments reached a total of 80 in 1892, but suddenly dropped to about 50 and remained at this number for many years.
St. Andrew's Church in Pitt Street (now Stafford House) was the next home of the School, and remained so from 1892 to 1914, when it was moved to St. Phillip's Church Hill.
The School made several subsequent moves to the old Deanery (Church House) in 1917 and to the "Worker" Building in 1937. In 1961 the Cathedral Chapter and Standing Committee, after years of deliberation decided to commence Stage One of a vast master plan to redevelop the Cathedral Site. As a result Stage One of the "New School was built along Kent Street, from the Bathurst Street corner and adjoining the old "Worker Building.
Many changes and developments have taken place since then, and for the three and a half years from 1973 to August 1976, the School was housed temporarily in the CENEF Building, Kent Street.
On Friday, 13 August 1976, St. Andrew's Cathedral School returned to its original site and occupied the seventh and eighth floors of the St. Andrew's House.. The School has its own entrance off Kent Street and a dedicated School lift to Levels 7 and 8.
The School commenced outdoor education in 1982 using hired properties. During 1984, the School purchased a 100 acre rural property at Penrose, near Moss Vale in the NSW Southern Highlands for its own outdoor education campsite.
In 1991, the School established a senior secondary learning centre at 51 Druitt Street, Sydney, in close proximity to St Andrew's House. The Premier of NSW, Mr. Nick Greiner, officially opened the Bishop Barry Senior Secondary Centre. In 1997, the School Council decided that St Andrew's students would be better prepared for post-school work, study and lifestyle choices if the School became co-educational in Years 10, 11 and 12. Accordingly in Term 1, 1999 the first 76 girls commenced in the Senior College. St Andrew's had become the only co-educational school in the City.
In 1999, the School's Student Business Club formed a working partnership with the Sydney 2000 Paralympics Organising Committee (SPOC) to raise awareness of the Games. In addition the students conducted a range of events over a two year period that ultimately raised $100,000 to help stage the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. In 2001, the School negotiated long term occupancy in St Andrew's House by signing a 120-year lease for its facilities.
The Reverend Canon Melville Cooper Newth OBE, the eleventh and longest-serving Headmaster of St Andrew's Cathedral School, died peacefully on 21 October, 2004, aged 90. Canon Newth served the School as Headmaster for 38 years.
2005 marked the School 120th years of education in the city. At the same time, Mr. Phillip Heath celebrated his 10th Anniversary year as the Head of School, having started at St Andrew's Cathedral School on May 8 1995. This year also saw the School Council confirm the decision to vacate the Leadership and Enterprise Centre at 495 Kent Street (fondly known as "495").
2006 was the centenary year of the Old Andreans' Association (OAA) which is the alumni organisation of St Andrew's Cathedral School. The OAA was originally the Old Boys' Union, with the name being changed with the entry of girls to the Senior College. The OAA was established by the School's third Headmaster, the Reverend Percy Simpson in 1906. The first president of the then Union was the Hon Mr Justice Webb, a judge of the Industrial Relations Commission of NSW. He held office for over 40 years. In the last five years, the OAA has become an incorporated entity, and has improved its governance arrangements greatly. It continues to provide a means of maintaining contacts between Old Andreans and their school. Some other distinguished members of the OAA include Mr Ken Tribe AC, Lt-Gen John Grey AC as well as Simon Tedeschi, Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, composer John Antill, Julian Hamilton and Paralympic swimmer Matt Levy.
On 13 March 2006, Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh and the Earl of Wessex, with representatives of Commonwealth nations, and Australian community leaders were present at the Commonwealth Day Observance in St Andrew's Cathedral. The invitation came from the Prime Minister and Mrs Howard, and the Dean and Chapter of St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney. The Choristers from St Andrew's Cathedral School sang at the service, which was led by the Dean of Sydney, the Very Rev. Phillip Jensen, who designed and wrote the service, including special prayers. The Archbishop of Sydney, the Most Rev. Dr Peter Jensen preached the sermon. The Prime Minister and the Premier of NSW read the Bible passages. The music at the service was under the direction of Ross Cobb, the School's Master of Choristers. The School was also privileged to be asked to carry flags of the 53 Commonwealth countries into the Cathedral before the service began. These students were chosen from the 250 people in the Senior College who volunteered for the task. In addition, the School Captains enjoyed the special treat of attending the refreshments at Admiralty House representing the School.
On 22 September 2006, a new entrance to the school was opened. The entrance was opened by former Archbishop of Sydney, the Most Reverend Sir Marcus Loane, KBE and attended by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, as well as many parents and friends of students. The entrance is directly opposite the west door to St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney Square and is spacious and has a contemporary design. The school's address subsequently changed from 474 Kent Street, Sydney to Sydney Square, Sydney.
In 2007, the School announced that it has successfully negotiated a five year lease on 499 Kent Street, just opposite the current St Andrew's House campus. This building includes two floors and an off-street storage facility. This building will be used for an examination centre, faculty and administration offices. At the same time, the School also successfully negotiated a lease with the Wentworth Park Stadium Trust commencing January 2008. This lease will allow the School to use the Wentworth Park sporting fields and stadium. The lease also includes the exclusive use of a 3 story building on the eastern side of the field and change rooms on the western side. The initial lease for Wentworth Park will be for one year only.

In addition, St Andrew's has a leasing arrangement with St Andrew's College within the grounds of The University of Sydney and the nearby Wentworth Park Sporting Complex. The School also uses the University's facilities for basketball, swimming, tennis and squash. St Andrew's also owns a rural property known as Kirrikee at Penrose, in the NSW Southern Highlands for its own outdoor education campsite.
During the 2006 speech night, the school revealed a plan to introduce full co-educational years from kindergarten through to the last year of school in 2008. In 2006, the youngest female student was enroled in Year 8, and is still continuing her education at St Andrew's. At the commencement of the second quarter, a second female student enroled (but later left, due to personal reasoning). To bring the total back up to 2, a third female student enrolled and is still continuing her education. During the year of 2007, 10 girls were enroled into the middle school (by requests made privately to the school). The School introduced twin classes (single-sex classes) in middle school (Years 7 to 9) for the key subjects of English, mathematics and science. All other subjects, including sport, and in all other years of the school, are taught in mixed classes. St Andrew's is the first independent school in NSW to choose this twinning model in a coeducation environment.
In mid 2007, the designs for the new Middle School girls uniform were completed and on display.
The houses compete for the Dean Pitt Shield.
On 23 April 2007, the School opened a school for Indigenous students, named "Gawura" (meaning "Whale"), on the rooftop of St Andrew's House campus. Gawura is the Australia's first independent campus for Indigenous children.
Students in Gawura studies Aboriginal language and culture, basic numeracy and literacy skills and all students are sponsored by members of the community, funded mostly through World Vision-style sponsorships.
During the planning stage, the school search for no fewer than 12 different sites in the Redfern area to built the Gawura campus, however, the school faced opposition from some members of the Redfern's community.
The Cathedral Choir can trace its origins to the consecration of St. Andrew's Cathedral in 1868 and this establishes this group as one of the oldest continuously active choirs in Australia. The choir comprises choristers and choral scholars from St Andrew's Cathedral School as well as a group of men, known as lay clerks who sing the lower parts.
Through overseas tours and recordings St Andrew's Cathedral Choir has won an international reputation and has accepted invitations to deputise for the resident choirs in such places as St Paul's Cathedral, London, York Minster and many other important centres of Anglican worship. In 2002 the choristers appeared before HM the Queen at a Golden Jubilee concert in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle and also made a significant contribution to the ANZAC day service in Westminster Abbey.
A number of choristers participated in the 2004 music tour to the USA although this tour differed from previous UK music tours because of the liturgy expectation in cathedrals visited by the School. In addition a number of cathedrals, including the Washington National Cathedral, offered mixed gender chorales so numerous female singers from St Andrew's also contributed to church choral music at these locations.
The choir has made several recordings and the latest CDs are 'Fairest Lord Jesus' and Choral Evensong. The latter was produced from a service broadcast throughout Britain on BBC Radio 3 at the time of the Sydney Olympics.
During the school terms the choir sings at the morning Sunday service at 10.30am and at Evensong on Thursdays at 5.30pm. The choristers also sing a service of Morning Prayer (Matins) each Wednesday at 8.00am
Since April 2005, the Girls' Vocal Ensemble sings Matins on Tuesday mornings.
Michael Deasey completed a 24 year stint as the School's Master of the Choristers in 2005, , and Ross Cobb from the UK was appointed as his successor. .
To celebrate 140 years of the Cathedral Choir , the Choir went on tour to England and Italy in July 2008. The first tour under the direction of Ross Cobb, the 11th Organist and Choirmaster of St Andrew's, the Choir was invited to sing at services and concerts in some of Europe's most historic and significant buildings, including Wells Cathedral, Dedham and Harwich Parish Churches, Bath Abbey, Bristol Cathedral, All Soul's Langham Place, Christ Church Clifton, the Anglican churches of Venice and Florence, St Paul's Cathedral London and, for the first time, the Basilica of San Marco in Venice.
This was followed up in 2005 with Godspell, performed in St. Andrew's Cathedral. The building was judged to be ideal for the material, although several technical difficulties had to be overcome, and viewing angles were limited.
The school's 2006 performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance was performed at the Seymour Centre in its Everest Theatre. 'Pirates' attracted an average of 500 people to each of its four performances.
The school's most complex challenge has been its 2007 production of Les Misérables. Unable to perform it in a professional theatre due to performance rights issues, the school elected to perform it in the Chapter House adjoining St. Andrew's Cathedral. Due to its limited capacity of only 250-odd seats, the school chose to double the number of performances - eight over two weeks (Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday Matinées).
The 2008 performance of Guys and Dolls took place at the Seymour Centre at the University of Sydney. This major success set the bar for future performances.
The School also offers more challenging optional overseas expeditions for older students, such as the students have walked the Inca Trail, climbed in the Himalayas and built play areas for the children of Indian and African villages. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is offered to all students in Year 9 and above.

Former Knox County school board member Bill Phillips, awaiting prosecution on drug charges, skipped out of rehab this weekend and ended up being arrested — twice — on domestic-related charges, authorities say.
Phillips, 47, faces drug and identity theft charges for allegedly attempting to forge prescriptions in July. He was in an inpatient rehab program for drug addiction prior to his arrest this weekend, his lawyer said.
"He was on a 72-hour involuntary commitment at Peninsula (Hospital) and was not allowed to leave, but evidently they allowed him to leave to get his clothes and come back," defense attorney T. Scott Jones said Monday.

In addition to drawings you can also import 3D objects into SketchUp as well and Again, SketchUp Pro gives you a lot more options in the types of objects that you can import. So let's go ahead and bring in a 3D object. So we are going to do Import, and then we have a number of options here 3DS Files which are of the type of files you get out of the 3ds Max and those actually can have textures to them, DEM, COLLADA Files which you would get out of stuff like rise, and a couple of other things Photoshop supports in this well.
We are just going to use AutoCAD Files and in this case we're going to look at DXF files. So I have this file here called Generator.DXF and let's just see what it is. Let's go ahead and Open it up and it looks like it came in big again. So Again, sometimes scale is not your friend when going between 3D packages. So sometimes if you're 3D packages measuring in meters and you're measuring in feet it may come in three times as big as it doesn't understand it just knows its 1 meter wide and comes in a little over 3 feet big in your package.
So this came in a little bit big, but Again, we can use our Tape Measure tool to scale it down. Now I know that from here to here is 3 feet 2 inches, so all I have to do is just tell SketchUp that's what it is. So I'm going to go ahead and select this drag over here I think its 29 feet. So let's go ahead and type in 3 feet 2 inches, hit Enter and Do I want to resize the model? Yes, I do, and just like with a drawing it scaled it.
So let's go ahead and bring that in. So you can see how I've brought in this model that it's really very-very straightforward. Now it's coming in as a Component if we want we can Explode it and if we do it will bring it out in two individual faces which can actually take awhile, because this is a complex object. You can see how I have my individual faces, but one of the nice things about it is that it did smooth it. So if I wanted to I could reselect this and then Make it to a Component or Group let's go ahead and Group this and now we've got this a little bit smoother.
If we want we could go through and actually use the Soften Edges tool and go a little bit further. So we can Soften coplanar which would kind of get rid of these on the end here. And we could also play a little bit more with our angle between normal. So if we want we can play with that a little bit more and just kind of see what works. So Again, when you bring objects in from outside 3D packages you have to pay attention to scale. So get a sense of how big the object is before you export it, so you know what the size is and that way you can rescale it once it comes into SketchUp.
Now once it's in SketchUp you can also use a number of tools to soften the faces and make the object look a little bit more organic.

|This greatest-hits package, the first from pop icon Celine Dion, gathers Dion's biggest chart-toppers of the '90s and also includes a handful of new compositions. In the album's liner notes, the honey-voiced singer offers heartfelt thanks to her fans and confirms speculation that she plans take time away from music to focus on her family.
|Hits include "Beauty and the Beast," "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," and "My Heart Will Go On," the impassioned theme song from TITANIC. Among the new songs, her dramatic, tremolo-drenched rendering of Ewan MacColl's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is marked by Dion's typical midsong climaxes. "All the Way" is a tribute to Frank Sinatra, delivered in a manner similar to Natalie Cole's tribute to her father, Nat "King" Cole, on "Unforgettable" -- Dion's vocals float with eerie effect among the ghostly strains of Ol' Blue Eyes. The song is also dedicated to Dion's husband, Rene, the man for whom Celine saves her greatest passion.

Artist Overview
Celine Dion's ascent from stardom in her native Canada to the upper echelons of international pop divadom is one of the 1990s' major success stories. Blessed with a formidable set of pipes and a preference for heart-in-the-throat ballads, the precociously talented Dion initially won over American listeners in 1991, ten years after her French-language debut, with the title track from Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. From then on, Dion became a music-biz phenomenon, with platinum record sales, sold-out concerts, and across-the-board appeal rivaling her idol, Barbra Streisand.

It mentions an optical/auxiliary port for connecting to multimedia devices.. so just to clarify would it connect to my tv for big movie sound??
- Asked by Louise C from Oro Station
Edifier E30 Spinnaker 2.0/2.1 Bluetooth Speakers
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
I don't think you should be expecting "Big" movie sounds from these guys. However, with an optical port you can connect it to your receiver or PS3..etc. Which would, in turn, give you speakers to watch movies with, mind, these would be a definite upgrade to anybody still using their tv's speakers.
- Answered by Ian G from Hamilton
Yes, you could connect to your TV for 'big movie sound' on the condition that you are using an external subwoofer AND that you aren't sitting too far away (i.e. no more than 8 feet). I find that the sound stage becomes too dispersed any farther away than that AND the on-board downward firing 4" woofers can't effectively reproduce blockbuster film explosions (they do very well, but c'mon... you need a SUB). Good luck.
- Answered by David M from Aurora
Yes, the optical connection is there precisely for that reason as long as your TV has optical. There are a number of consumers looking for a speaker design that looks fantastic and can serve as a multifunctional sound solution. Each of the speakers has a silk domed tweeter, 2 3/4" mid-range and a downward firing 4" bass driver which would serve very nice for movie sound. Consider that this speaker system isn't meant to be compared to a full home theatre speaker system driven by a component amplifier.

Warm muffaletta, chicken meatball Reubens, fizzy Kvas ... Market and Rye, Anda Piroshki, and All Good Pizza hit the spot
APPETITE Trekking around the Bay for what is not at all elusive — excellent food — is ever a pleasure. Finding it on the cheap? Options are endless. Sandwiches stand as one of the easiest ways to fill up for less, making the continued glut of sandwich openings unsurprising. (Check out the Richmond's new Chomp n' Swig — hard to top the Bacon Butter Crunch sandwich: white cheddar, tomato, bits of bacon, guacamole. Or in the Mission, the Galley inside Clooney's Pub at 1401 Valencia serves a meaty French Onion sandwich, yes, like the soup and oh so good.) Beyond mere sandwiches, here are some other affordable delights.
West Portal is lucky to claim new Market and Rye, from Top Chef alum Ryan Scott. What could be just another sandwich shop is instead an airy, high-ceilinged cafe in yellows and whites under skylights. Salted rye bread is made specifically for the spot by North Beach's classic Italian French Baking Company (IFBC's sourdough and wheat bread choices are also available).
Sandwiches ($8.50–9) offer enough playful touches to keep them unique, like Funyuns on roast beef or Cool Ranch Doritos adding crunch to chicken salad layered with avocado spread and pepper jack. I took to the Reuben chicken meatball sandwich on salted rye, its generous contents falling out all over the place, overflowing with 1000 Island dressing, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, red cabbage caraway slaw, and house chicken meatballs. I almost didn't miss the corned beef.
Build-your-own-salads offer healthy alternatives, while above average sides ($4 per scoop, $7.50 2 scoops, $10.50 3 scoops) are generous helpings of the likes of roasted zucchini tossed with cherry tomatoes and boccaccini (mini mozzarella balls), enlivened by mint vinaigrette. The side that didn't work for me was grilled broccoli. It appeared green and verdant, dotted with ricotta and walnuts in red wine dressing, but was so cold, its flavor was stunted.
Housemade root beer float "Twinkies" ($3.50) are a fun finish, though Twinkie-lovers be aware: these are dense, dark cakes filled with a dreamy root beer float cream, neither fluffy nor spongy.
68 West Portal Ave., SF. (415) 564-5950
A jaunt to Jerrold and Third Street leads to a food truck parked in a Bayview oasis: a parking lot filled with picnic tables, potted cacti, and herbs used for cooking. All Good Pizza — open weekdays only: 10am-2pm — just launched this month from neighborhood locals desiring healthy food and "good, sincere pizza," with a real commitment to the area (check out the site's community page).
The lot invites lingering over cracker-thin pizzas (a steal at $7), from a basic Margherita to a spicy pie dotted with peppers, fennel, mozzarella, and Louisiana hot links smoked on site. The trailer houses a 650 degree gas-fired oven. These aren't game-changing pies but there's nothing like it in the 'hood — nor are there many healthy salads, like a kale, radicchio, sweet potato crisps, Parmesan, balsamic reserva combo. There are also panini sandwiches ($7) such as a pig-heavy, super salty Nola Muffaletta: Genoa salami, smoked ham, olive salad, fior di latte mozzarella, and provolone cheese.
Italian sodas ($2.50) are all made on premises, like a candy sweet coconut soda evoking coconut oil, beaches and vacation. All this in a Bayview parking lot.
1605 Jerrold Ave., SF. (415) 846-6960, www.allgoodpizza.com

Systematic searches are revealing a plentitude of alien worlds
In the past 20 years astronomers have located several hundred planets orbiting distant stars. And they've only scratched the surface; in an area les than 1% of the Northern Hemisphere a group of 100 planets, called the Kepler planets, wer found. This visualization shows a representation of the known planets thus far.
The print version shows two hemispheres, the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. Star positions are projected on the hemisphere, and each circle around a star represents an orbit of an exoplant. A common view of the earth is to have two hemispheres side by side, but in order to make more efficient use of the page, the southern hemisphere is rotated and positioned at the lower left corner.
Two common star constellations, Ursa Minor and Crux, help the reader to orientate. Complementary to the main graphic are some specifications on the type of planets, as well as a subdivision of Exoplanets and non-Exoplanets.
At Malofiej 21, the premier international conference on infographics, the print version of this visualization has won a bronze medal.
The interactive version allows to transition between a hemisphere-view (image on the left) and a 'distance-from-the-sun'-view (the large image on top). Most of the exoplanets found are of an unknown type, but for quite a few this is known, such as Gas Giant, Hot Jupiter or Hot Neptune. The interactive version additionally allows for showing exoplanets by type, hiding the other types.
See the live visualization at the Scientific American website.

Ben Isitt: The evil genius behind the scenes at the Black Lake Haunted Asylum
"Those lab specimens … those body parts … Are they REAL?"
You may well be asking yourself that if you work up the courage to show up during "visiting hours" at the Black Lake Haunted Asylum at Freighthouse Square on one of its last four evenings this year: Thurs., Fri., Sat. and Sun., Oct. 28 through 31, from 6 to 10 p.m.
The creepy props and nightmarish scenery comes from the prolific imagination of designer/fabricator Ben Isitt (www.BensArtWorks.com), whose work experience runs the gamut from Hollywood movie sets to amusement park atmospherics, from commercial décor to parade floats, from fountains and other topiary sculpture to home entertainment spaces and – dare I say it? – kids' rooms!
Not that this should surprise anyone: The versatile Mr. Isitt, age 43, originally from San Pedro, Calif., and now of Puyallup, is a professional artist and hardly deranged – although you might suspect otherwise on seeing him throwing off all "restraints," so to speak, at the Haunted Asylum. But even there, in the dark basement corridors of Freighthouse Square, Ben surgically attaches humor to horror, schlock to shock, creating a tour experience that's part Hieronymus Bosch and part P. T. Barnum … or maybe Ed Wood and Ed Gein?
You decide … Meanwhile, I asked Ben about his work: His answers reveal some of the influences behind his inventiveness …
AmeriCollector: Have you always been a full-time artist, or did you do something else for a living before that?
Ben: I've always been a full time artist.
AC: Did you study art formally in school, or are you self-taught?
Ben: I studied art from an early age and eventually attended Phoenix Institute of Technology in California, for commercial art and pursued prop fabrication through apprenticeship and through hands-on work.
AC: Where is your studio located?
Ben: I have a shop on my property at my home in Puyallup as well as a work studio in the basement of the Freighthouse Square.
AC: Do you have any hobbies not strictly related to your artwork?
Ben: Yes, I enjoy building unique flying model aircraft from time to time.
AC: You specialize in sculpture and 3-D props, which is a lot different from working on a flat surface. What materials do you prefer to work in, and in what size: life-size or larger-than-life?
Ben: I enjoy the difference in scales differently. I don't really have a preference in size, but I enjoy working with six-pound urethane foam versus other products that are commonly used in prop fabrication.
AC: You do a range of work, from signage to statuary to parade floats – even costumes. Are there particular objects you especially enjoy creating, or themes that you like to work in?
Ben: I like the imagination and variety of working within the horror genre most because of the limitless ways to express one's imagination. And I use the "Haunt" (Black Lake Haunted Asylum) as a practical application for showcasing creations and frightening people at the same time.
AC: The Black Lake Haunted Asylum follows a classic carnival tradition, but it goes far beyond the usual cheap funhouse effects. How did you get involved in this annual event?
Ben: Having worked for Six Flags for 10 years and building props and creations for their Fright Fest influenced me to pursue these endeavors for myself and also appease the need to be creative in something that was relative to sculpture and prop fabrication.
AC: How much new stuff do you create each year, and where do you get your ideas? Do you decide what to create by committee, or do you have free license to do what you want?
Ben: It's hard to describe where these ideas come from. Each year, I try to incorporate something new and exciting but most of all unique. Often in haunts you see the same ideas happening in the same ways, with little difference, but I try to create things that no one has ever seen before.
I do have free license to create props for the haunt depending on the annual budget. Some years are better than others. This year, we added an organ-grinder/Gatling gun, complete with rabid zombie monkey perched on top. This takes a clichéd machine-gun effect and gives it an interesting new twist.
AC: The Haunted Asylum appeals to many people's desire, going back to childhood, to be frightened within a safe context, such as seeing a horror movie. Were haunted houses, horror films, Halloween and other scary but fun experiences a formative influence for you?
Ben: Absolutely. Whether it's old film or new, I always enjoy special effects no matter what capacity they are used and appreciate the ideas and the imagination behind them.
AC: What ARE your favorite horror films, anyway?
Ben: "The Thing," all of the "Alien" movies … I enjoyed "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and "Time Bandits."
AC: The mental asylum concept seems to generate an especially strong response in people. How do you explain it?
Ben: I think because most human beings fear the loss of their own mind, the power of thought or control, people are uncomfortable with the theme; however, we're not looking to promote the negative aspects of mental illness in itself, but rather point it in a direction of a fictional character, Dr. West, who through medical experiments creates his own monsters much like Frankenstein. This allows people to experience being afraid or uncomfortable in a safe environment. This is a haunt, after all: It's all theatrics and not intended to offend but rather entertain based on a time period when such places existed but also add a terrifying twist to the theme.
AC: Who are your artistic influences?
Ben: My artistic influences vary, but if I were to name a favorite it would be artist Judson Huss and designer of the Aliens from the "Alien" film series, H. R. Giger.
AC: What is your "dream" project?
Ben: I would enjoy working on a large intricate sculpted relief or frieze of a dramatic scene like something from Dante's "Inferno" or even "Alice in Wonderland," but perhaps combined with a contemporary setting.
The Black Lake Haunted Asylum tour is conducted in groups of four to six guests, lasts 15 to 20 minutes and is not recommended for children under 13. Admission is $13 but tickets are limited: Get them online at www.hauntedhousetacoma.com. Freighthouse Square is located at 2501 East "D" St., Tacoma. For directions, visit www.freighthousesquare.com.

The production of cylindrical targets involves numerous steps. These steps are shared in common with many other types of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) targets but no other single target encompasses such a wide range of fabrication techniques. These targets consist of a large number of individual parts, virtually all fabricated from commercially purchased raw material. As an example, the polystyrene used is synthesized in house from purchased monomer material. This material must be polymerized, purified, characterized and put into solution before it is even first used in the making of a target. Because virtually every manufacturing and assembly process we currently use is involved in the production of these targets, this paper is written as a way documenting the methods used.

Argo Predicted as Best Picture, Awards to Be Spread Far and Wide
February 24th, 2013
Voting is closed in our annual Predict the Academy Awards contest, and Argo is the clear favorite to pick up the Best Picture award, based on the opinion of nearly 500 entrants. Ben Affleck's thriller took an impressive 80% of the vote, more than six times the score of Lincoln, which took second place in the poll. Coincidentally, the contest has predicted the winner of the Best Picture Oscar 80% of the time in the 15 years we've been running it. Quite a few other categories have strong favorites, but there are also some really close calls, and it looks as though the awards will be shared by several films tonight.
- Votes in Each Category
- Predicted Winners in Each Category
The biggest favorite in any category is Amour, which received a 97% vote share for Best Foreign Language Film. Daniel Day-Lewis isn't far behind, with 96% of the votes for Best Actor, and Anne Hathaway gets a 93% score for Best Supporting Actress. The only other category with a 90% score or better is Best Song, with Adele's theme for Skyfall heavily favored.
Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Lawrence both received 69% of the votes in their categories (Directing and Best Actress respectively), so can be considered clear front runners. The other major categories are all much more closely fought.
Wreck-It Ralph gets 50% of the votes for Best Animated Feature, marginally ahead of Brave. That category looks like a toss-up, and our 90%+ (10 out of 11) record for Animated Feature looks under threat.
Tommy Lee Jones picks up 45% of the votes for Best Supporting Actor, but Robert De Niro and Christoph Waltz could both snatch a win in that category, according to The Numbers readers.
Given the weight of support behind Argo for Best Picture, it is quite surprising to see it only get 58% of the votes for Best Adapted Screenplay. Lincoln is again the second favorite in that category.
Django Unchained gets 53% of the votes for Best Original Screenplay, with Amour and Zero Dark Thirty looking for possible upsets.
Overall, no one film looks likely to dominate the awards. Argo, Lincoln, Les Miserables and Life of Pi are all predicted to win three times (with the last of the four enjoying wins for Visual Effects, Cinematography and Original Score), and the only Best Picture nominee that looks likely to get shut out completely is Beasts of the Southern Wild. Its best category is Adapted Screenplay, and even there it gets less than 2% of the vote.
