Mobile phone updates and buzz!
In: Carriers|Mobile News12 Aug 2009
I am hoping someone can clarify this for me, because I don't quite understand this. It seems that the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 release hasn't been nerly as aggresive as all the efforts that went into the myTouch 3G release. You should just see the mytouch 3G Unboxing.
So it is the eve of your company launcing a phone that has been highly sought after for the last 6-12 months and you are the first company who will launch it in the United States and possibly have an exclusive for a few weeks. The device might be the most powerful Pocket PC on the market and your first 3G Power Business user phone. Your company still hasn't released a lot of official information. On your website's home page you have your featured pictures set to the mytouch 3G, Samsung Highlight/Comeback, Sidekick LX and a Motorola W490. Bloggers and media outlets are confirming and speculating 5 different price points for your product. Supposed confidentail internal memos and documents circulate the internet with varying information regarding pricing. Something doesnt quite make marketing sense to me. I know T-Mobile is not alone in having this approach that other carriers play.
Here are a few thoughts that I have. T-Mobile was rather organized with their launch of the myTouch 3G. They announced in advance when there pre-ordering dates will be and even provided pricing. They conducted their pre order period in an orderly fashion and had their release. They kept control of the information. It is clear they know how to do it right. Building a stong marketing campaign ahead of time in conjuction with the manufacturer could go along ways in building more demand especially when you might have a situation where you have an exclusive for a short period of time. Even the iPhone gave definitive informatin in the weeks leading into their launch. Needless to say a lot of people out there like me who have been following the device for the last few months sound exhausted and finally ready to just buy the phone and move on. Below you will find an Unboxing of the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 from Phone Dog. You can also go to CNET for their offical review by Bonnie Cha.
It always seems that a couple of times each week I am in a situation where I am running out of battery power. Between Google Maps, Skyfire, and SlingPlayer Mobile I frequently run out of juice. If only my back pack or travel bag that I carry with me everyday could function as a charger. Well today I was happy to learn from Afrigadget.com that one will be available soon. It will be called the FLAP Bag. FLAP stands for Flexible Light And Power.
Afrigadget will be distributing solar powered bags that function as a light and a charger. The solar panel will be on the flap of the bag, and wil have a USB extension and a LED light. You can see the unboxing video below. The bags will be distributed in Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya as a trial project (FLAP Bag Project). You can follow the progress of this project at afrigadget.com or on twitter @whiteafrican.

Beware, an Android device will be attacking a cell phone store near you. Last year we came to know and respect the G1. Most analysts found the phone to be exciting and adequate for a first try for Google, however many experts insisted that at the time there was nothing game changing about the G1. Over the course of this year Google has aggressively worked to provide updates to their devices and introduced many cool application such as Google Latitude (an LBS location based service). They have wisely made their apps available to non Google phone customers. This strategy has worked well as a method to pluck away windows mobile and iPhone users.
Google's newest North American Phone, My Touch 3G will widely be available here in the US this week. Early reviews of the phone have been positive, however I dont see this as a game changing device. It's just more evidence that Google is taking another huge step in the right direction.
The HTC Hero is the latest Android device that is making a lot of noise in Europe. The Hero is rumored to be headed to Sprint sometime in the late fall. Every week that goes by another new Android device rumor is appearing. Sources have recently revealed that 18 new Android devices may be released this year. HTC has also revealed that it expects to potentially have 50% of their product line be Android based phones next year. Google is also branching out from HTC and planning on working with Motorola, Acer, and Samsung. Microsoft and Apple just keep hearing the Android footsteps coming. The real question is; are they diversifying their product line too much and too fast? Only time will tell. Here are a few other Android Headlines.
Android Netbooks coming from Acer this year after all.
Android to challenge Rim for Enterprise Users
As the clock ticks by I keep getting updates and rumors on when the Touch Pro 2 is going to be released. The rumors keep flying June, July, August. The strongest rumor seems to be August 12 on TMobile's network (originally it was suppose to be today July 22). This is somewhat surprising, considering ATT has been the carrier who often takes the lead on HTC's high end phones. TMobile is aggressively keeping their name out there as the carrier who will release the phone first.
While I am eagerly waiting for the release, I wont be shocked if the release doesn't happen till closer to Thanksgiving. I know this would be very disappointing to many including me. Unless HTC is changing things, I have usually seen about a 6 month waiting period from the European release versus US based release of their Windows mobile phones. At least as far as ATT is concerned, Thanksgiving has been the time when they have historically had big splashes. Carriers could also be waiting for Windows Mobile 6.5, so that devices can ship directly with this build. Consumers have been complaining about windows 6.1.
Lets hope I am dead wrong and we all have our 3G Touch Pro 2 phones by August 12.
Is it just me or has Sony Ericsson failed at successfully entering the mainstream US smartphone market. Its unclear to me as to why Sony Ericcson hasn't been competing in the US with HTC, Samsung, RIM and Apple. Not too many people would say that SE makes poor quality phones. They certainly dont suffer from lack of technology. So it is rather strange that several of their phones were never properly introduced to the US market.
The P900, 910, 990 and 1. are good examples of very sophisticated smartphones but no US carriers backing them. Additionally SE was was not very disciplined with their release dates. I recall several delays on the P990. This actually drove me to HTC. Last summer I was convinced that the SE Xperia designed by HTC for SE wotj Windows Mobile's OS on it would definitely be their arrival in this space.
The much hyped Xperia X1 never was picked up by a US carrier and never really hit the US market. All these SE phones were only available if you were able to pay the premium for a non branded unlocked phone. SE did however aggressively market their walkman type phones in the US.
SE has just announced that they will be introducing an 8.1 Megapixel camera called the Cyber Shot C905A to AT&T this month and another Walkman phone. The C905a was announced over a year ago and released about 7 months ago in other markets. I also recently did read that SE was planning to expand their Xperia series of phones this month. The phones are again heavily loaded and 1 of them is rumored to be an Android Phone. Will SE finally join the mainstream US smartphone market or is this another episode that we have seen before? The US market remains small and soft for unlocked phones. Only about 5 percent of the phones sold each year are unlocked and available from somewhere other than a carrier, SE needs to step up their strategy.

The iPhone is to blame for the growing smartphone frenzy.
It was only about 3 years ago when the average US based cell phone user didn't know what an app or a sim card was, then along came the iPhone. Most US based users felt they simply wanted a phone to talk and occasionally text. A phone with too many features was too complicated for the average user to figure out. Phones like the Palm Treo were for power smartphone users and left every day users simply perplexed. Unlocked smartphones like the Nokia Communicator series were far too complicated for people to figure out . Not to mention the $500 plus price tag seemed ridiculous. Many users who attempted to tackle these phones ended up frustrated and unable to fully utilize them.
The iPhone simply put these matters to rest. An out of the box, app friendly, high-end phone. Today average users are asking for more apps and features. They are not afraid of the hefty price tag and see their phone as more than just a means to text or make phone calls. The iPhone deserves a lot of credit for the growth in popularity of US based smartphone users. The iPhone put the competition on notice. They either had to make their phones fun and user friendly or else!! Some companies still haven't got it and are losing market share. For example if you put a phone with Windows Mobile 6.1 in someones hands versus giving someone an iPhone, you will get a lot more overall interest from the iPhone, meanwhile the Windows Mobile phone may actually suit that individual better and have more features. Some of the latest updates to the iPhone 3Gs were features that existed on other phones for the past 3 years however that did not slow sales down one bit. As of January this year iPhone sales were up 88%. The iPhone keeps winning new users every day.
While the competition has to hate the iPhone, they also must thank them at the same time for bringing more users to the smartphone market.
For years now HTC has been making their phones with just a mini USB port. This basically meant it was a major pain if you wanted to use your normal 3.5 mm headphone. I have bought and lost so many mini USB to 3.5mm audio adapter over the past 3 years. This doesn't include the many times the adapter was left at home or in a friends car leaving you without headphone use for the day.
HTC has now committed to including 3.5 mm audio jacks on future devices that are not already road mapped. This change comes after years of crying from many dedicated HTC customers. A recent youtube video shows the a version of the new Touch Pro 2 with the 3.5mm audio jack.

Spb software has a great application called Spb Online. Spb online is a gateway to all spbonline products. Spb calls it the "single entry point for online services". On a much smaller scale its like the iphones app store. It has great online television module, which includes many foreign channels. My favorite channel is Vox Africa. The TV has a cool feature which is very similar to picture in picture. I like the variety on here especially for the foreign channels. I give it a thumbs up over Mobi TV (for its variety). Mobi TV doesn't offer me anything too different. Mobi TV is probably better for American programming.
Spb online also includes a streaming internet radio module which allows you to stream radio stations from all over the world. If you have the streaming URL address for your favorite station you can just play it through their radio module. It stays connected and plays smoothly in the background while you surf the web or run other apps. It also has a news reader, weather tab, games, themes, ring-tones, and an app store. The app store will introduce you to all of Spb's great products (like the new Spb Mobile and games like Air Islands). Most of them are offered on a Free 2 week trial. Check out Spb's website for other apps for iphone Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile. www.spbsoftware.com

For the past 8 years Amazon has slowly been building their wireless sales unit. I have watched them for years offer mostly GSM devices for a lot less than the actual carriers. Initially I had a lot of skepticism and there was a lot of fine print which made me nervous. After witnessing how the process works and seeing new phones delivered for less, I began to trust Amazon. Initially it was primarily targeted at new subscribers but now they also work with upgrade eligible customers. Amazon has found a way to streamline the rebate process (which we have all dealt with) and create a very user friendly step by step process. Their current Beta is on offering 120 phones from AT&T and Verizon (TMobile and Sprint coming soon). At this program expands, watch retailers start to offer more discounts up front and eliminate long waits for rebates.

Hi. Have not been able to find any explanation on exactly how the XYZ rotation order influences the XYZ constraints that can be set for a ball joint selected from the Motion tab/constraints drop down menu. I was working with a robotic structure, using the rotation tool to rotate a leg from the hip along a specific axis and getting unexpected results such as the leg suddenly reversing it's rotation direction on releasing the mouse or not being able to move the leg all the way to the end range of its set rotation. I changed the XYZ rotation order and everything works perfectly but I'm not sure I understand why. Is it something to do with setting the XYZ rotation order so that the axis allowing the greatest range of motion is first, and the one with the least range (or locked altogether) is last? (I'm currently running Carrara 6 Pro.)

WV Historical Markers - Let's Find All 700

Travelers' Rest
This marker is located in Kearneysville, WV at the intersection of RT 9 and Leetown Road, across from the Sheetz station.
Travelers' Rest is located south of Kearneysville on Bower Road about a mile on the right. It is visible from Bower Road.
Extensive rehabilitation has been performed on the main house. Other structures have become ruins with the exception of the spring house, which has been restored.
1956 photo:
From Wikipedia:
Traveller's Rest
is the home of General Horatio Gates. Gates and his family sailed from England to Virginia in 1772 and bought 659 acres on the Potomac River near Shepherdstown in what is now West Virginia. He built this limestone house and became a slave owner, a local justice, and a lieutenant colonel in the militia. In 1790, he sold the home, freed his slaves and moved to New York City.
This one will stand out for me. While putting this post together, I realized I had taken pictures of the wrong house! The archive photo did not look like what I had at all..So I ran back and checked...sure enough, I took pictures of the wrong house. I suspect that over the years some of these markers have been moved due to road construction, rerouting etc. Distances and directions from the markers to the sights they represent may vary...

No matter what the immediate impact to your financial aid is, please keep in mind that dropping courses now may have an impact on your future financial aid eligibility. See the section on Satisfactory Academic Progress for specific information.
When a financial aid recipient withdraws from a semester or unofficially withdraws by ceasing to attend classes, federal regulation require a Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculation to determine if any federal Title IV aid must be repaid. Federal Title IV aid includes Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, and PLUS loans.
The amount of federal Title IV aid to be repaid is calculated based on the percentage of time completed within a semester, which involves calculating the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student, and the amount of institutional charges for that semester. Please contact us at email@example.com prior to withdrawing in order to determine the impact to your financial aid.
When unearned federal Title IV funds are repaid, they are returned by program and up to the disbursed amount for each program. Unearned federal Title IV aid will result in a reduction to each aid program in the following order: Unsubsidized Direct Loan, Subsidized Direct Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, Pell Grant, and SEOG. Additional reductions may be made to the Florida Student Assistance Grant, Florida Resident Access Grant (FRAG), and Bright Futures according to state regulations.
You will be notified by mail no later than 45 days after the determination that you withdrew during the semester. Your notification will provide detailed information on the aid programs which were repaid. If the notification includes eligibility for a post-withdrawal disbursement, you will have fourteen days to respond to accept or decline the award. The return of these funds typically results in additional charges to your student account that is the student's responsibility to pay.
Withdrawing from the semester may impact future eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. See the section on Satisfactory Academic Progress for specific information.
In order to receive financial aid at Rollins, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Beginning July 1, 2011, the 2011-2012 SAP standards will change in accordance with federal regulations. These standards will go into place beginning with the Fall 2011 semester.
Note: These standards apply to federal, state, and institutional need-based aid; however, merit-based scholarships (including Bright Futures and Rollins Scholarships) may require higher renewal criteria.
The Office of Financial Aid monitors SAP annually at the end of each spring term. Notifications are mailed and emailed to students who are not meeting SAP no later than June 1st each year. You may also view your status on Foxlink.
Students must successfully achieve a cumulative 2.0 gpa. Course taken outside of Rollins (with the exception of Rollins affiliated study abroad courses) do not count towards your Rollins cumulative gpa.
Students must successfully complete 67% of coursework in order to meet SAP standards (defined as completion rate or pace). Transfer hours accepted into Rollins count as both hours attempted and hours completed. Incompletes and withdrawal grades count as attempted hours, but not toward completed hours.
|Completed Hours Attempted Hours
|= Completion Rate
Please note: if you have transfer hours, add the accepted transfer hours to Earned Hours and Attempted Hours in the calculation.
Example: If Student A attempted 20 credit hours in the fall and completed 12 credits plus attempted 15 credit hours in the spring and completed 8, then the completion rate would be 57% (20 completed hours divided by 35 attempted hours). In this example, Student A would not meet the Completion Rate SAP standard.
Students must complete degree requirements within 150% of the published semester hour length of the academic program. Undergraduate degree requirements are 140 credit hours and, therefore, the maximum degree completion time frame is defined as 210 credit hours attempted.
Students must meet all of the Qualitative and Quantitative Standards as outlined above in order to receive financial aid. If you do not meet one or more SAP requirements, a letter will be mailed to your permanent address on file as well as an email to your Rollins account. A notification in your Foxlink account will also appear.

- Please provide a typed personal statement explaining the mitigating circumstances and what actions you are taking to ensure future academic progress.
- Provide any relevant documentation to support your appeal.
- If approved, you will be placed on financial aid probation for the upcoming semesters. Your SAP probation letter will outline the requirements needed to continue receiving financial aid in subsequent semesters.
The committee will review your appeal within 10-15 business days after receipt of your completed appeal form and the required documentation. Decisions are made after a careful review of your circumstances, federal regulations, and Rollins guidelines. You will be notified of the outcome via your Rollins email account. Regularly monitor your Rollins email for additional information.Deadlines: Submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval of aid eligibility. As such, the earlier you submit your appeal, the sooner you will know if your aid can be reinstated. Decisions are made after a careful evaluation of your unique circumstances, Federal Title IV regulations, and Rollins guidelines. You will be notified of the committee's decision via your Rollins email account. During this time, you will be responsible for any and all charges on your account (including late fees). We encourage appeals to be submitted no later than one month prior to the beginning of classes in order to receive a timely decision. You may submit an appeal after that time; however, you may not know the outcome of your appeal prior to the end of the 100% refund period which may result in charges.
Rollins Scholarships and Florida programs (Florida Student Assistance Grant, Florida Resident Access Grant, and Bright Futures) have separate renewal critieria. Please review these specific renewal criteria.

San Francisco opens first commercial B20 biodiesel station

Gold to go in diesel enginesApril 15, 2007
Hummers and muscle cars go greenApril 9, 2007
The city's first commercial B20 biodiesel refueling station opened Tuesday at an Olympian fueling station in an industrial neighborhood known as Dogpatch. B20 fuel is a mix of 20 percent recycled biomass--mainly oils--and 80 percent traditional diesel fuel. The advantage of B20 is that most commercial diesel vehicles can use it without any modifications to the engines.
The station's opening is critical to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's plan to convert the city's entire fleet of diesel vehicles to biodiesel by the end of the year. Thus far 39 percent, or 539 of a possible 1,500 vehicles, have made the switch to B20, he told a crowd of reporters, environmental activists and city officials. Next on the list is to convert the city's public bus system to B20.
The alternative fuel is made out of grease collected from businesses, public utilities and restaurants around the city and converted to B20 diesel. That process is seven times more energy efficient than converting petroleum to regular diesel or even growing crops to turn into biodiesel, said Jeff Scott, the Environmental Protection Agency's waste management director for the Pacific Southwest.
Newsom said he hopes other cities will get on board.
"It's not that difficult," he said. "There's no excuse, if I may be so brazen, for other cities not to follow our lead."
The Olympian fueling station is the same site of the first B100, or pure biodiesel, station in North America, which first opened in 2001. It was in business for just two years before it was shuttered in favor of an ultra-low sulfur diesel station, which at the time was considered an alternative fuel, and more economically viable, said Randall von Wedel, a biofuel consultant who helped open the biodiesel station on both occasions. The B100 station made about $3,000 per month, and an ultra-low sulfur diesel station can bring in $3,000 per day, he said.
Walt Dwelle, owner of the station, thinks the prospects are better this time around. "Though the volume is small, we think the demand is high," he said. Right now, the average price of one gallon of B20 biodiesel costs $3.15 wholesale, but companies operating such vehicles are eligible to receive $1 per gallon in federal tax credits, essentially bring the price down to $2.15 per gallon, just 10 cents above the average price for a gallon of traditional diesel.

- just wondering about the resturaunts
- I have very little knowledge of how the conversion works but I work at a resturaunt and was just curious how they can use the stuff thats come out of these things. I mean, fried chicken, frys, corn batter, steak, the list goes on. After it's been used, even filtered can this stuff really be used for bio fuel?

Fraternal Life Insurance
and Annuities

Serving our members for over
125 years.

Our History
William Penn Association was founded on February 21, 1886 in
Hazleton, Pennsylvania, by thirteen Hungarian coal miners. It was
chartered by the State of Pennsylvania in December of that same year
under the name "Verhovay Aid Association." The goal of the founders
was to extend a helping hand to each other and to the many Hungarian
immigrants who worked and suffered in the mines and industrial
centers of America at a period in its history when insurance of any
sort was still in the far away future. With no sick benefits, no
unemployment compensation, and no death benefits for their families,
and with the immigrants being maimed and killed by the thousands in
the ever-recurring industrial accidents, they had no other recourse
but to turn to each other for help. This is how fraternalism was
born in America, and these are the same conditions that prompted the
thirteen founders to establish the Verhovay Aid Association.
After nearly four decades of growth, and with well over three
hundred chapters throughout the northeastern states, in 1926 the
Home Office was moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By this time the
Verhovay Aid Association had grown into the largest, wealthiest and
most successful of all the Hungarian American fraternal
organizations. This growth was also speeded up by mergers with a
number of other smaller fraternal societies. The most significant of
these mergers included the Workingmen's Sick Benefit Federation (Munkás
Betegsegélyzo Egyesület) of East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the
Hungarian Budapest Society (Magyar Baptista Egylet) of Cleveland,
Ohio; and the Rákóczi Aid Association (Rákóczi Segélyzö Egyesület)
of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The merger with the Rákóczi Aid
Association in 1955 was most significant, for here two of the
largest Hungarian-American fraternals came together to form the
William Penn Fraternal Association to preserve and to perpetuate the
Hungarian culture in America. In 1972 the name of the joint
organization was changed to "William Penn Association," which is
regarded to be identical with the original Verhovay Aid Association,
but also a direct descendent of the Rákóczi Aid Association founded
in 1888.
Although by now the dominant and unrivaled Hungarian-American
fraternal society, during the past decade it continued to grow by
additional mergers. These included the merger with the American Life
Insurance Association (Bridgeporti Szövetség) in 1979; the merger
with the American Hungarian Catholic Society of Cleveland, Ohio in
1980 and the merger with the Catholic Knights of St. George of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1983. The last of these mergers was
again very significant because it brought a major local fraternal
society, founded nearly a hundred years earlier in 1881, into the
fold of the William Penn Association.
Today the William Penn Association stands as the unrivaled major
Hungarian fraternal society in America. Its goals are to provide
benefits to its members and their beneficiaries; to provide housing
for its elderly and disabled members; to render other fraternal
services to these members and their families (including scholarships
for their children); and to aid in the preservation of Hungarian
culture and Hungarian ideals in this great land of America, and to
do so in accordance with the goals of the Founding Fathers of both
the Association and of the United States.
While the Society exists to promote and support the study of
Hungarian culture, to unite American Hungarians and to perpetuate
the language of the homeland, one does not have to be of Hungarian
descent to join the society.
of Directors
There are 10 members of the Board of
Directors elected by the General Convention for a term of 4
years. The Board administers the corporate powers of the
Association; protects its Charter; construes the By-Laws of the
Association and performs any and all other things it deems
advisable to carry out the objectives of the Association.
Office Staff
The William Penn Association has an
excellent working fraternal team. The National Officers and Home
Office staff contributes his or her talents to the ideals of our
Association's mission statement "To provide financial security
to our members through quality life insurance and annuity
products; and to support fraternal, ethnic, cultural,
charitable, educational, patriotic and religious works."
We are licensed in the following states: CA,
WV, and WI.
The Home Office
William Penn Association today is headquartered in the so-called
"Darlington House" on the Northside of Pittsburgh, formerly the
independent city of Allegheny. It came into the possession of the
William Penn Association through its 1983 merger with the Catholic
Knights of St. George, an originally German Fraternal Society founded in
builder of the mansion, Harry Darlington, was himself a self-made man,
as were most of the industrial magnates of the Gilded Age. Born in
Philadelphia in 1838, he moved to Pittsburgh at the age of twenty-two,
where he made his fortune in beer brewing, steel, railroads, gas, and
coal ventures.
decided to have a mansion constructed in the then fashionable Allegheny
City, favored by many of the new millionaires. His choice fell to the
area around the meeting of Ridge Avenue and Brighton Road (709 Brighton
Road), where he had a handsome brick home constructed in the early
French Renaissance style. It was a highly decorated mansion with a
magnificent staircase and elaborate woodwork throughout the house.
officers of the William Penn had the Darlington House restored to its
original splendor and beauty in 1983. The Darlington House now stands
like a jewel among its neighbors, many of which are now part of the
campus of the Community College of Allegheny County.

How to Remove "Computer Section" from Windows 8 Explorer Navigation Pane
Many of us don't want that cluttered up Explorer navigation pane section in Windows 8. As the "Computer" section makes no sense with all the things available on right-side of the section. And if you want to clear up that, leaving minimalistic and simple look, here is the simple trick you can use to do that.
By enabling the navigation pane in Windows 8, it shows minimum 4 items,
- Favorites
- Libraries
- Computer
- Network
How to do it?
1. This can be done by tweaking some registry settings. Press Windows key + R and type "regedit" to open registry editor.
2. Locate the folder
3. Now you need to create DWORD value "Attributes" in the right-side section. For this you need to get permission, right click on Shell folder and select permission.
4. A new window will pop up. Select Administrator and click on OK. (Allowing Full control and Read Permissions)
5. Right click on right-side section and create "Attributes" DWORD value and set its value to b094010c.
6. All things set! Now log off and restart your system and "Computer Section" will no longer present in Explorer Window.
This is the short and simple way to make your Explorer Navigation Pane simple with less number of items. However, if you want your Computer Section back in Navigation Pane, just delete "Attributes" DWORD created before.

Alexandria on the Acesines
Alexandria: city in the southern Punjab, modern Uch.
When Alexander founded the city, it was considerably larger, but when the Chenab shifted its course, it took away nearly half the citadel. The location of the lower city of Alexandria is not known; it may be beneath modern Uch, in which case it may perhaps one day be excavated; or it may be to the west of the citadel, in which case the river has destroyed the site.
When Alexander founded the city, he was recovering from the nearly mortal wound he had received during the siege of a large city in the country of the Mallians, which is probably identical to modern Multan. When the news of his wound had reached Gandara and Sogdia, the Greek colonists that Alexander had settled in those satrapies revolted against their Macedonian lords. This caused tensions in Alexander's army as well, which resulted in a Greek's suicide after a gladiatorial contest had taken place between a Greek and a Macedonian soldier (text). As a consequence, the king decided not to leave Macedonians and Greeks behind in the new city. The settlers were, therefore, Thracians.
The town flourished; in Buddhist texts, it is called Askandra. The mausoleum of Bibi Jawindi, which dates back to 1494, is even as a ruin a splendid sight.

The Department of Neurology and Psychiatry will host Grand Rounds in two different locations from 8-9 a.m. Thursday, April 7.
The neurology division session will be held in the SLU School of Medicine, 1402 So. Grand, Schwitalla Hall, lecture hall 1. The entrance is through the Learning Resource Center, 3544 Caroline Mall.
Heather MacArthur, Ph.D. will present "Parkinson's Disease(s): Different Pathways to the Same End-Point."
MacArthur is an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Science at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
MacArthur obtained her bachelor's degree in pharmacology from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and earned her doctorate in pharmacology from the William Harvey Research Institute, St. Bartholomew's Medical College, London.
She completed her post-doctoral research fellowship in the Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Science at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
In 1997, Macarthur joined the faculty in the Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Science at Saint Louis University.
Her primary research interest is the role that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species have in modulating catecholaminergic signaling pathways. To date, her work has demonstrated the significance of this modulation in cell and healthy animal models, as well as in animal models of hypertension and septic shock. Most pertinent to this presentation is her work on the role played by oxidative stress in the neurodegeneration of central dopaminergic pathways associated with Parkinson's Disease.
Specifically, she has studied the effect of dopaminochrome, an oxidized form of dopamine, on neuronal cells derived from the midbrain region of mice, as well as in intact rats. Her work shows that dopaminochrome is indeed present in animal models of neurodegeneration and, when applied exogenously either in vitro or in vivo, is capable of causing neuronal cell death in a programmed manner.
MacArthur has received NIH funding for her research. She also has published more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and made multiple research presentations at both national and international scientific conferences.
The psychiatry division program will be held in Monteleone Hall, 1438 So. Grand Blvd., Classroom A, basement level. Entry is through the rear parking lot.
Ravinder Goswami, M.D., will present "Psychosis and Anti-Psychotic Medications. "
Goswami did his adult psychiatry residency training from University of Kansas in June 2010. He is an adjunct faculty at SLU since July 2010 as well as working in private practice with psych care consultant.

Lesson Plan
Cape Lookout and the Water Cycle
- Grade Level:
- Eighth Grade
- Subject:
- Anthropology, Architecture, Colonial History, Earth Science, Economics, Engineering, Geography, Geology, Maritime History, Wilderness
- Duration:
- 45-50 minutes per class visit
- Group Size:
- Up to 24 (4-8 breakout groups)
- Setting:
- indoors or outdoors
- National/State Standards:
- 8.E.1.1, 8.E.1.2, 8.E.1.3 8.E.1.4, and 8.P.2.1
OverviewUsing Cape Lookout as an example, students will identify the major elements of the water cycle and how this process is important to people biologically and politically.
The learner will be able to:
• Using Cape Lookout National Seashore as an example, describe the water cycle's major elements and their roles in supporting life on earth
• Understand why the water cycle is important to us, biologically and politically
• Understand the need f or conservation of water resources
• Describe the major pollutants in our water, where they come from, what they harm, and what can be done about them
• Understand the components of a healthy marine system and the need to preserve our beaches, barrier islands, wetlands, and oceans
Pre-Site Visit Activities: TEACHER COMPLETED
Knowledge Assessment (in post-site materials)
Water Cycle Introduction
• Split students in groups of 2-3 and give each group a water cycle poster
• Have them reed the "Quick Summary of the Water Cycle"
• Use the discussion points below to guide students through the materials
• Have students complete the "Water Cycle Vocabulary" and review as a class
Discussion Points
• Although we depict the water cycle as a circular mechanism flowing continually from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and back to the ocean, these elements do not follow each other in order. All of these elements are in play at the same time.
o For example: Evaporation happens not only from the ocean, but at the same time from the land masses, and from surface runoff.
o The water cycle is the constant movement of water on, in, and above the earth changing from liquid to vapor to ice and back again.
• The water cycle is a closed system.
o The water contained on the earth is all the water we have. No new water is coming into the system.
• While the water cycle is a closed system, the water on Earth is all interconnected.
o Water from Egypt may end up in England. Glacier ice from the Antarctic can find its way to the faucets of townhouses in Raleigh.
• Water originally came from superheated magma when the earth was first formed.
o As the magma cooled, the water it contained evaporated cooling the atmosphere enough to allow water to accumulate on the surface as a liquid.

more reporting, less generalism, more beats, less objectivity
How to do it, if you're a young writer on the come up? I don't have any advice for how to make money, but I do have a few ideas about what would be valuable.
1. More reporting. I know this gets trotted out a lot, but it happens to be true. There are a ton of people (like me) offering opinions, analysis, commentary, etc. What I think can really distinguish someone coming up is actual reporting-- interviewing, going to the scene of events, etc. Obviously, this is a lot of work, easier said than done, and still requires contact with old media for practical purposes. There's a lot of places you can't get access to and people who won't bother to talk to you without media affiliation. But if you want to make a direct impact on the stories that matter, that's the most direct path. Also, reporting doesn't mean giving up on commentary. I would point to Adam Serwer and Dave Weigel as two guys who, from different political backgrounds, do a good job of synthesizing reporting and commenting. Which brings us to point 2.
2. Abandon objectivity, maintain fairness. Again, this is a well-worn idea, but still important. Looking at Serwer and Weigel, you're talking about two people who don't make many bones about their ideological commitments. That's not a failure to be appropriately professional as journalists; it's instead an acknowledgement that they are human beings with human biases and beliefs. As others (such as Jay Rosen) have pointed out repeatedly, the illusion that any reporter can maintain perfect objectivity actually makes bias more dangerous, because it creates a false sense about what the news is and compels journalists to ignore their own natural inclinations in one direction or another. What's important to remember is that you can be evenhanded without being objective; that is, you can do your best to represent what the arguments of each sides are, without pretending that you don't have an opinion or that both sides are equally accurate. If you're a journalist, you're gathering facts. If you have a functioning intelligence, you're going to generate an opinion on those facts. Don't pretend otherwise, just make sure that you understand and present the strongest possible arguments for the other side.
3. We don't need more generalists, so have a beat. This one does strike me as good advice for employment and professionalization, actually. There are plenty of generalists out there writing about whatever strikes their fancy. (Like me!) To distinguish yourself in a crowded landscape, it helps a lot to have a specific focus and to know what you're talking about. Make sure you have a strong grasp on the basic contours of your beat. Going to school helps a lot, because school (it's true) is still the best way to learn things, eduhacking nonsense aside. Develop contacts within that field. Find fresh angles. If you want to remark on a larger controversy, relate it to your field. Good examples of people who have developed a particular niche and work it consistently are Dana Goldstein, who writes brilliantly on education, and Dave Roberts of Grist, who writes about environmentalism and climate change.
Taken altogether, I guess I'm saying "be like Mike Elk." Elk is a great labor journalist whose work appears in In These Times and The Nation. I don't agree with everything Elk believes, but I am in great agreement about his primary focus, which is unions and labor. Elk is an honest-to-goodness old school reporter, someone who gets interviews and follows leads and pursues neglected stories. He does it all without hiding his pro-labor sympathies and with an interest in getting the facts right. There aren't nearly enough people on the left doing the kind of work he does; there's lots of opportunities to be had there, although probably not a lot of money.
I am 100% willing to cop to this post being a lot of boilerplate. But I think it's important boilerplate. (And read Mike Elk.)

It helps foster the myth that there is this thing called The News, which presumably speaks in the voice of Walter Cronkite.

Exactly so.

I basically agree with you, but I think you're giving short shrift to the semi-anonymous ranks of newspaper and newswire reporters who actually do a huge amount of the fact-gathering on which other writing is based, and who are very much focused on narrow beats. Maybe that's not quite what you're writing about, though.

That's a fair point. In the past I've complained about how Deadspin simultaneously makes fun of sports beat reporters while relying on them for so much of what they talk about.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, left, and Defence Minister Ismet Yilmaz, right, sit in parliament during a debate on Turkey-Syria relations, in Ankara,on October 4, 2012. PHOTO/ADEM ALTAN
DAMASCUS: Syria on Monday accused Turkey of having made a "political and diplomatic gaffe" with its suggestion that Vice President Faruq al-Shara take over from the country's embattled President Bashar al-Assad.
"What (Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet) Davutoglu said amounts to a flagrant political and diplomatic gaffe," Information Minister Omran al-Zohbi said, quoted on state television.
"We're not in the days of the Ottoman Empire any more. I advise the Turkish government to give up (power) in favour of personalities who are acceptable to the Turkish people," he fired back.
Davutoglu said on Saturday that Shara was "a man of reason and conscience and he has not taken part in the massacres in Syria. Nobody knows the (Syrian) system better than he."
The Syrian opposition, which Turkey supports, "is inclined to accept Shara" in place of Assad, he said on the public television channel TRT.
Ties between Ankara and Damascus, which have been tense since the March 2011 start of a revolt in Syria, worsened sharply after Syrian shellfire from across the border killed five Turkish villagers last week.
Turkey, which hosts nearly 100,000 Syrian refugees on its territory, openly supports rebels from the Free Syrian Army and has openly called for Assad's ouster.
It has systematically retaliated for several days for Syrian shelling that has hit Turkish territory.

Taxes On America's Favorite Beverage: Soda
35 States have an additional sales tax on soda, which can be compared to the 'sin' tax added to cigarettes and booze. However, will higher soda tax rates have the same effect as other 'sin' taxes at preventing unhealthily behavior? Will adding a soda tax raise enough revenue to put a dent in the nation's deficit? This infographic looks to answer those questions.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 4 1/2 hr (includes chilling)
Make pudding and glaze pecans:
Lightly beat yolks in a medium bowl.
Whisk together 3/4 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small heavy saucepan. Slowly whisk in milk, then boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until pudding is thick, about 3 minutes. Gradually add hot pudding to yolks, whisking constantly, then whisk in bourbon and vanilla.
Cover surface with wax paper and chill until cold, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Warm remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar with honey and water in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Stir in pecans, tossing to coat, then transfer to a lightly oiled 4-sided sheet pan.
Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and shiny, about 15 minutes. Transfer pecans with a metal spatula to a rack to cool. Coarsely chop, reserving 4 halves for garnish.
Make spongecake and syrup:
Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Butter and flour cake pan. Warm eggs (in shell) in hot water 5 minutes.
Whisk together flour and salt.
Beat eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer at high speed until tripled in volume and thick enough to form a wide flat ribbon that holds its shape on top of batter when beater is lifted, 7 to 8 minutes in a stand mixer or 14 to 16 with a handheld.
Transfer to a wide bowl. Sift flour mixture, one third at a time, over batter, folding gently but thoroughly with a rubber spatula after each addition. Stir together butter and about 1/4 cup batter in a small bowl until combined, then fold butter mixture into batter gently but thoroughly.
Pour batter into cake pan and smooth top. Bake until golden brown and edges start to pull away from sides of pan, 12 to 14 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring bourbon, water, and remaining tablespoon sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
Transfer cake in pan to a rack, then run a thin knife between cake and side of pan and cool 5 minutes. Invert cake onto rack.
Assemble dessert:
Cut off one third of cake, reserving for another use. Brush remaining cake with half of bourbon syrup. Carefully turn cake right side up and brush with remaining syrup. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Cut cake into 1 1/2-inch squares. Thinly slice bananas.
In 4 bowls or 10-oz glasses make 2 layers each of pudding, bananas, cake (use all of it), and chopped pecans, then top with a third layer of pudding, bananas, and chopped pecans.
Chill, loosely covered, 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
Whip cream with sugar until it holds soft peaks, then dollop on top of each dessert. Garnish with reserved pecan halves.
Cooks' notes:
Pudding can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.
Glazed pecans can be made 3 days ahead and kept (leave whole), layered between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container, at room temperature.
Cake can be baked and cooled (but not soaked with syrup) 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature. Brush with syrup before using.
Store-bought spongecake can be substituted for homemade.
Assembled desserts can be chilled up to 6 hours.◊

Changing Gardens through Time
The Science Museum of Minnesota and the National Park Service worked together to create a garden about the Mississippi River. Step back through time and see how American Indian gardens along the Upper Mississippi River changed over the past 2,000 years. By 1,000 years ago, vast stores of food produced through active gardening were required to support towns like Cahokia, near St Louis, where nearly 20,000 people lived. Each of the large villages near Red Wing, Minnesota, may have supported and fed hundreds of people at this time.
View the 2012 Garden Cam Animation
Three Sisters Garden
The Science Museum of Minnesota's collections include 167 plant specimens and 90 food processing objects collected by Wesley Hiller. Hiller was a dentist in Minneapolis, and an avid amateur anthropologist. He spent years persistently building his seed collection during the 1930-1940's, focusing on ancient indigenous species.
Each year, the museum deaccessions plant seeds from the Hiller Ethnobotany collection for research purposes.
Since 2004, staff has successfully germinated seeds from the Hiller collection, which we plant yearly in the Big Back Yard. A symbiotic planting of beans to fix nitrogen in the soil, corn which acts as a trellis for the beans, and squash, a natural shade plant, is known as the Three Sisters Garden.
In successive years, we will experiment with germinating and planting different seed varieties from Hiller's original collection and hope to work with Native American communities on critical issues such as diabetes and diet.

ORANGE — Chapman University Prof. Ronald M. Huntington, who taught religion and philosophy at the school for 42 years, died last week. He was 64.
A resident of Santa Ana, Huntington was an accomplished organist who performed throughout Southern California for 20 years. He also taught others how to play.
"Ron not only studied the confluence of worship and the arts, he lived it," said Chapman President James Doti in a message to the campus.
"During his four decades of service to Chapman, we were fortunate to share in his gifts, as were the residents of our wider community who heard his many organ performances at churches and in concerts," Doti said.
