Is smiling flirting?
just wondering peoples opinions on this
Most Helpful Opinion
I think it as simple flirting borderline friendly but I'm not always sure if the guy is just being friendly or showing interest...thats the thing with smiling, can't be so sure! smiling is sort of like common courtesy when you speak with someone or you're holding a conversation..sort of...its not necessary but you want seem friendly and nice right ha ha ha so if you're trying to signal to a girl that you're interested...you're gonna have to do more than that but smiling doesn't hurt...the whole world should smile more often lol sorry went off topic there :)
What Girls Said 5
What Guys Said 4
Haha, oh goodness no. There are smirks which can be pretty flirty, but smiling in itself is innocent. Unfortunately, a lot of guys take it as something more and than when they try to act on it they get rejected. Smiling for me just means that you're friendly. If I smiled at someone and they smiled back I would take that as an invitation to approach them and nothing more.
Have an opinion?

Baltimore Orioles (2-5) at New York Yankees (4-3), 1:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Baltimore - Wei-Yin Chen (0-1, 6.35)
New York - Ivan Nova (1-0, 3.18)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Yankees try to win their fifth game in six
tries on Tuesday when they continue a three-game series with the Baltimore
Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter made the most of his final home opener on Monday, as he went 1-
for-4 with a run scored, while Hiroki Kuroda tossed 6 2/3 solid innings in the
Yankees' 4-2 win.
"It was a great day," said Jeter. "The fans were energetic like they usually
are. Home openers are special here at Yankee Stadium."
Kuroda (1-1) held the Orioles to just two runs on eight hits with four
strikeouts, while Jeter opened New York's two-run fifth inning with a double
that just missed clearing the wall in left field.
Jacoby Ellsbury plated Jeter with a single and finished 2-for-4, while Kelly
Johnson and Yangervis Solarte added an RBI apiece in the win.
New York did all its damage against Baltimore starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2),
who gave up all four runs on eight hits and five walks over 4 2/3 frames.
Matt Wieters and Nelson Cruz each went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Orioles,
who have lost five of their last six games since opening the season with a win
over the Boston Red Sox.
On Tuesday, New York will hand the ball to righty Ivan Nova, who beat the
Houston Astros in his opening start. Nova held the Astros to a pair of runs
and six hits in 5 2/3 innings of that one.
"Well, obviously, we think he's got the talent and the stuff to have a big
year, and that's important if we want to get to where we want to get to,"
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "But that's important for all of our
starters to have good year, because you're going to need to win a lot of games
in our division to win our division and to move on.
"We believe he has the stuff to have a big year."
Nova is 5-2 with a 4.46 ERA in 12 career games (11 starts) against the
Baltimore, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Wei-Yin Chen, who was banged
around by the Boston Red Sox on Thursday for four runs and 12 hits in 5 2/3
"Basically, it's the breaking ball," Chen said of getting back on track. "It's
not working 100 percent the way I want it to be. Hopefully, I can get it to be
It may not get any better for Chen on Tuesday, as he is 0-2 with a 4.86 ERA in
three career starts at Yankee Stadium.
On the injury front, New York placed closer David Robertson on the 15-day
disabled list Monday with a strained left groin. The Yankees, who had put Mark
Teixeira on the DL over the weekend, will now likely hand the ninth inning
duties to righty Shawn Kelley.
Also, Baltimore shortstop J.J. Hardy may miss a third straight game because of
back spasms.
New York narrowly won the season series a year ago, 10-9.

The Gambia is working towards the formulation of a National Intellectual Property Policy and Strategy document. Stakeholders are meeting at the Kairaba Beach Hotel for a two day forum to formulate the said document. The forum which opened yesterday is organised by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO) in collaboration with the Gambia Government.
In his opening remarks, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice Lamin Jobarteh said the importance of intellectual property in this modern age of the knowledge based economy cannot be overemphasized. He noted that the progress of a society is no longer dependent on the favours of nature such as the amount of gold, silver or crude oil found within a state's territory. "Instead the development of societies and states are increasingly driven by the knowledge and skills of its people and the ability to harness and exploit its knowledge and resources", he said.
Minister Jobarteh explained that the Gambia had Intellectual Property Laws in existence since the pre independence era but were not underlined by any identifiable policy objectives. He stressed the importance on the formulation of an Intellectual Property Policy and Strategy cannot be emphasised. He noted that intellectual property has great potential to contribute to the economic advancement of a nation and its people.
The Justice Minister explained that in the past two years, his department embarked on an intensive effort to clear the heavy backlog of intellectual property publications in the national gazette. He said it has now started printing the intellectual property certificates to its rightful holders.
In January 2011, said Minister Jobarteh, the industry property regulations came into force which simplifies the gazetting and registration procedures for registration of industrial property. He stated further that the Copyright Office also formulated the first set of draft copyright regulations on registration of works which were adopted. Registration of works made in the Gambia began in the second quarter of 2011, he said.
Also speaking at the opening was Francoise Wege, Deputy Director, Regional Bureau for Africa, WIPO who spoke on behalf of the Director General of WIPO.
She said one of WIPO's strategic goals is to ensure that member countries make effective use of intellectual property (IP) in ways that are appropriate, productive and logically related to national development objectives.
Mrs. Wege added that WIPO seeks to build countries' capacity to increase their intellectual property assets to contribute to engineering development and sustainable growth. She stressed the importance of intellectual property in creating wealth, noting that if strategically utilized it can contribute significantly to stimulating economic growth. She added that it also contributes to improving competiveness on the global market.
Mrs. Wege noted that during the two days forum, participants will have the opportunity to collectively examine the preliminary findings and recommendations of the experts as well as policy options for developing IP system that will stimulate the Gambia's industrial, commercial and cultural sectors.
For his part, the Director General of ARIPO, GIFT Huggins Sibanda said ARIPO has the mandate to promote, develop and harmonise intellectual property in Africa. This mandate, he went on, can only be achieved if member states of the organisation have appropriate IP infrastructures and frameworks to absolve the deliverables of ARIPO and other like organisations such as WIPO. He expressed hope that the forum will provide participants the platform to share views on varying issues in the field of intellectual property.
Mr. Sibanda added it will also afford them an opportunity to review the preliminary findings and recommendations of the experts by key stakeholders and partners. He stated further that the forum will be an opportunity to understand the country's vision and priorities to sensitise stakeholders on how to best leverage intellectual property for economic development/ it will also be an opportune time for stakeholders and partners to have a consensus on the targets and time frame for the implementation of the IP policy and strategy.

The Fall
The Fall: The Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of A New Era (Paperback)
The Fall: The Insanity of the Ego in Human History and the Dawning of A New Era (Paperback)
Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds and How to Control It (Paperback)
In his book The Fall, Steve Taylor presents a psychological and spiritual overview of human history which explains why so much human behaviour - both individually and collectively - is insane. Our insanity can be traced back to an "Ego Explosion" which occurred several thousand years ago. The powerful sense of ego this created is the root of warfare, male domination, environmental abuse, materialism and other human pathologies - all of which were absent during prehistoric times. In a survey of more recent history, Taylor suggests that for the last three centuries or so we have been in the midst of an evolutionary movement which is returning us to sanity. The Fall has been described as 'an astonishing work' by Colin Wilson and as 'Fascinating and important, highly enlightening and readable' by Eckhart Tolle.
Steve Taylor joins us during October 2008 on our Author of the Month message board to answer queries from posters and to discuss his work.
If you asked them what life was like in prehistoric times, most people would conjure up an image like the famous opening scenes of 2001: Space Odyssey - groups of hairy savages grunting and jumping around, foaming at the mouth with aggression as they bash each over the heads with sticks. Most people take it for granted that life was much harder then, a battle to survive, with everyone competing to find food, struggling against the elements, men fighting over women, and everyone dying young from disease or malnutrition.
A whole branch of "science" has grown up around this view of the human race's early history. This is relatively new discipline of evolutionary psychology, which tries to explain all of the negative sides of human nature as "adaptations" which early people developed because they had some survival value. Evolutionary psychologists explain traits like selfishness and aggression in these terms. Life was such a struggle that only the most selfish and aggressive people survived and passed on their genes. The people with gentle and peaceful genes would have died out, simply because they would have lost out in the survival battle. Evolutionary psychologists see racism and war as "natural" too. It's inevitable that different human groups should be hostile to one another, because once upon a time we were all living on the edge of starvation and fighting over limited resources. Any tendency to show sympathy for other groups would have reduced our own group's survival chances.
But fortunately we don't have to believe any of this. There is now a massive amount of archaeological and anthropological evidence which suggests that this view of the human race's past is completely false. Life for prehistoric human beings was far less bleak than we might imagine.
Take the view that life was a "struggle to survive". The evidence suggests that the lives of prehistoric human beings were a lot easier than those of the agricultural peoples who came after them. Until around 8000 BCE, all human beings lived as hunter-gatherers. They survived by hunting wild animals (the man's job) and foraging for wild plants, nuts, fruit and vegetables (the woman's job). When anthropologists began to look at how contemporary hunter-gatherers use their time, they were surprised to find that they only spent 12 to 20 hours per week searching for food -between a third and a half of the average modern working week! Because of this, the anthropologist Marshall Sahlins called hunter-gatherers "the original affluent society." As he noted in his famous paper of that name, for hunter-gatherers, "The food quest is so successful that half the time the people do not seem to know what to do with themselves" (1).
Strange though it may sound - the diet of hunter-gatherers was better than many modern peoples'. Apart from the small amount of meat they ate (10%-20% of their diet), their diet was practically identical to that of a modern day vegan - no dairy products and a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, roots and nuts, all eaten raw (which nutrition experts tell us is the healthiest way to eat.) This partly explains why skeletons of ancient hunter-gatherers are surprisingly large and robust, and show few signs of degenerative diseases and tooth decay. As the anthropologist Richard Rudgley writes, "We know from what they ate and the condition of their skeletons that the hunting people were, on the whole, in pretty good shape." (2) The hunter-gatherers of Greece and Turkey had an average height of five feet ten inches for men and five feet six for women. But after the advent of agriculture, these had declined to five feet three and five feet one. An archaeological site in the lower Illinois Valley in central USA shows that when people started cultivating maize and switched to a settled lifestyle, there was an increase in infant mortality, stunted growth in adults, and a massive increase in diseases related to malnutrition.
Hunter-gatherers were much less vulnerable to disease than later peoples. In fact, until the advances of modern medicine and hygiene of the 19th and 20th centuries, they may well have suffered less from disease than any other human beings in history. Many of the diseases which we're now susceptible to only actually arrived when we domesticated animals and started living close to them. Animals transmitted a whole host of diseases to us which we'd never been exposed to before. Pigs and ducks passed the flu on, horses gave us colds, cows gave us the pox and dogs gave us the measles. And later, when dairy products became a part of our diet, we increased our exposure to disease even more through drinking milk, which transmits at least 30 different diseases. In view of this, it's not surprising that with the coming of agriculture, people's life spans became shorter.
The transition from a nomadic hunter-gatherer way of life to a settled agricultural one began in the Middle East at around 8000 BCE, spreading into Europe and Asia over the following millennia (and developing independently in some places). Many of the world's cultures have myths that refer an earlier time when life was much easier, and human beings were less materialistic and lived in harmony with nature and each other. In ancient Greece and Rome this was known as the Golden Age; in China it was the Age of Perfect Virtue, in India it was the Krita Yuga (Perfect Age); while the Judeo-Christian tradition has the story of the garden of Eden. These myths tell us that, either as a result of a long degeneration or a sudden and dramatic "Fall", something "went wrong". Life became much more difficult and full of suffering, and human nature became more corrupt. In Taoist terms, whereas the earliest human beings followed the Way of Heaven and were a part of the natural harmony of the universe, later human beings became separated from the Tao, and became selfish and calculating.
Many of these myths make clear references to the hunter-gatherer way of life - for example, the Greek historian Hesiod states that during the Golden Age "the fruitful earth bore [human beings] abundant fruit without stint," while the early Indian text the Vaya Purana states that early human beings "frequented the mountains and seas, and did not dwell in houses" (i.e. they lived a non-sedentary way of life). The garden of Eden story suggests this too. Originally Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge, until they were forced to leave the garden and forced to "work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything." It appears that, at least in part, these myths are a kind of "folk memory" of the pre-agricultural way of life. The agricultural peoples who worked harder and longer, had shorter life spans and suffered from a lot more health problems must have looked at the old hunter-gatherer way of life as a kind of paradise.

Strapping Project C4orce on the dyno for the last time was bittersweet. After putting an initial computer program together for the modifications we installed, we started tuning for drivability and making sure everything was running properly mechanically. After all the prelims were out of the way, we started turning the wick up and began tuning for power. It is very important to correctly tune a combination like this for reliability, drivability and power. With Geoff's years of experience in tuning LS engines and having gone through proper tuning classes over the years from prominent OEM calibrators, we correctly dialed in the computer system for years of fun and reliable driving times as the new owner, Roger Less, will quickly attest to. The final dyno numbers on Project C5X came out to be 411 RWHP, which was 116 more horsepower than stock. The tune in the car was so consistent that after the Roger took delivery of the car in Colorado, he had it tested and tweaked for his altitude change and his tuner came up with the same 411 RWHP figure. Right on!
On a closing note and with a tear in his eye...to Project C5X from Geoff Skorupa, God Bless and God Speed!

A computer virus similar to the Stuxnet virus that attacked Iran's nuclear program has been identified.
Duqu, with a malicious code similar to Stuxnet, was discovered on computer systems in Europe, the computer security firm Symantec said in a report issued Tuesday.
"Parts of Duqu are nearly identical to Stuxnet, but with a completely different purpose," Symantec said in its report. "Duqu is essentially the precursor to a future Stuxnet-like attack."
The report added that the creators of the Duqu program had access to the Stuxnet source code.
Stuxnet, the computer worm that some say has set back Iran's nuclear program by several months or years, affected some of Iran's computer systems and centrifuges used to enrich uranium after it was released last year. The New York Times reported that it was a joint project of Israel and the United States.
Iran had to replace 1,000 Stuxnet-damaged centrifuges at its main uranium enrichment plant at Natanz last year.
Duqu is designed to gather data such as keystrokes from computer systems that will help it to launch future attacks on the systems.

How (not) to find unused indexes
I've seen a few people link to an INFORMATION_SCHEMA query to be able to find any indexes that have low cardinality, in an effort to find out what indexes should be removed. This method is flawed – here's the first reason why:
CREATE TABLE `sales` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`customer_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`status` enum('archived','active') DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `status` (`status`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=65691 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
mysql> SELECT count(*), status FROM sales GROUP by status;
| count(*) | status |
|Â Â Â 65536 | archived |
|     154 | active |
2 rows in set (0.17 sec)
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM sales WHERE status='active'; # query 1
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key   | key_len | ref  | rows | Extra      |
| 1 | SIMPLE     | sales | ref | status       | status | 2      | const | 196 | Using where |
1 row in set (0.06 sec)
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM sales WHERE status='archived'; # query 2
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra      |
| 1 | SIMPLE     | sales | ALL | status       | NULL | NULL   | NULL | 65690 | Using where |
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
The cardinality of status index is woeful, but provided that the application […]
What to do with MySQL Full Text Search while migrating to Innodb ?
It is rather typical for systems to start as MyISAM but as system growths to move to Innodb. The reason of the move could be just desire for better data consistency guaranty or being bitten repairing multiple GB MyISAM table few times, though Table Locks is probably the most important issue – with modern multi […]

Nintendo DSi XL gets ripped apart
The Nintendo DSi XL has undergone the usual teardown treatment at iFixIt to reveal giant sized electronics and a few surprises.
For those really interested, rather than just looking at pictures of cool stuff dismantled, Nintendo is again using a custom ARM CPU, which is virtually identically to the DSi.
Battery capacity is significantly greater than the DSi. The DSi uses an 840 mAh battery compared to the DSi XL's 1050 mAh battery. Given the internal similarity of the XL to the original DSi, the battery boost is most likely for those large screens.
Interestingly the DSi XL weighs in at 314 grams, about 45% more than its smaller DSi cousin (only 217 grams). A significant portion of the heft comes from the larger screens, and 4 grams comes from the added battery juice.
iFixit worries that the XL is "really on the outer limits of what people consider to be portable" especially for a hand-held game console.
Those looking for a "Supersize Me" inscription on the inside, will be disappointed. There weren't any found anywhere on the internals.

I frequently stay at Hilton hotels and I was very disappointed. There was no phone service to call ahead for the valet and the place was filled with dust from the reno. we are both still wheezing from the environmental dust. Perhaps when the reno is over, it will be Hilton quality again. I paid way too much for a hotel room that was under par.

Baked Pasta Part 1 was pretty neat, chicken in a savoury cream sauce. Decided to change things up with beef this time, and added something missing from the chicken version: sourness in the form of a tomato sauce.
These are the ingredients you'll need. Serves 1-2.
- 200g pasta (any form will do, i used macaroni)
- 200g beef (i cut mine up into thick cube chunks because i like my beef chewy, mince will do fine as well)
- a couple cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 carrots, chopped into chunks
- a grab of grated cheese
- tomato puree
- herbs to taste (i used a lot of oregano and freshly ground pepper)
- pinch of salt to draw out the flavour in the beef
Here's how to do it.
Finely chop the garlic, over small fire, fry lightly with the butter in a saucepan. Very important to use a minimal fire here, you just want to lightly brown the beef to seal in the juices; if the beef starts to "sweat", then you're overcooking it. Sprinkle some salt.
Meanwhile, bring water to boil in another saucepan, chuck in the pasta and carrots together, and boil together for 6-7 minutes. The carrots in this dish really adds a delightful sweetness.
Once the beef is done (about 2-3 min max), carefully pluck it out of the saucepan onto a plate, leaving behind all the garlic and browned butter. Bring the flame back on, then pour in the tomato puree. Continuously stir to reduce over medium heat, about 5-6 minutes, or until it bubbles mildly. Sprinkle in the herbs. Don't overcook it, it burns easily and will leave a bitter taste.
Generally speaking, the beef and the sauce will be ready before the pasta and carrots are done.
Drain out the pasta and carrots, and pour into a baking dish. You may choose to add in a layer of cheese now, but i didn't in order to save the calories. Cheese here will thicken the dish considerably and give it a nice cheesy texture; without the cheese, it'll be a tad bit more saucy instead.
Arrange the beef evenly over the pasta and carrots, then pour on the sauce. The tomato sauce, enriched with the garlic and butter will be superb. Then sprinkle on the cheese.
Chuck it into the oven at 220 degrees celcius for 18 minutes.
Allow to sit and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Minimum condiments are required, i used Tabasco to balance out the sourness.

Criticism wounds. It's painful. Not all wounds are faithful wounds—some wounds come from reckless words that pierce like a sword (Proverbs 12:18). But I'm not talking about the sting of reckless words in this post. Today I am writing about the sting of criticism that comes even from a faithful wound (Proverbs 27:6). Even from a friend, criticism wounds.
But have you ever wondered what criticism wounds?
I think the simple answer is that criticism wounds the sin that has not been mortified. A wise, older pastor once said to me: "C.J., what hurts isn't dead yet." And that is often what criticism wounds—my still-living, still-breathing pride.
Receiving criticism and correction is necessary, because it reveals the blind spots in my life and the pockets of pride that have not been put to death (Colossians 3:5, 12). Therefore we need correction. But by saying this I am not arguing that receiving criticism will be painless or enjoyable. Far from it!
David got this. He understood the benefit, as well as the pain, of correction:
Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. (Psalm 141:5)
Say again? A kindness?
Left to myself I wouldn't share David's perspective. This kind of kindness I can do without!
But criticism from a faithful friend (and at times, even from an enemy) is a kindness. It is the kindness of the friend willing to bring an area of concern to my attention, and most importantly it is an expression of God's kindness, because often through the criticism I perceive my enemy that still lives—my sin!
I find this to be a helpful reminder when the sting of criticism arrives.
Receiving criticism hurts. It always will. I don't anticipate maturing to a point where receiving correction will become a pure joy. A wound is a wound. It leaves a bruise. It hurts. But I need it.
Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness.
Let me not refuse it.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.

Intel Celeron M: It is a Pentium M with halved level 2 Cache and limited on FSB 400. The characteristic of this processor is the speed, which is hardly slower than an equivalent Pentium M. However it can change the speed not dynamically like the Pentium M and therefore needs without load more current.
It is also available as Low Voltage Version with very small current consumption.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.5 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.

Violaceae (alternatively Alsodeiaceae J.G.Agardh, Leoniaceae DC. and Retrosepalaceae Dulac) is a family of flowering plants consisting of about 800 species in 21 genera. It takes its name from the genus Viola, the violets and pansies.
Older classifications such as the Cronquist system placed Violaceae in an order named after it, the Violales. However, newer classifications such as that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group locate it in the Malpighiales.
Plants are normally perennial herbs but some species are also annuals, or shrubs. The simple leaves are alternate or rarely opposite, often with leafy stipules or the stipules are reduced in size. Some species have palmate shaped leaves or deeply dissected leaves. Many species are acaulescent. Inflorescence with solitary flowers or paniculate like, some species have cleistogamous flowers produced after or before the production of typically petaled flowers. Flowers are bisexual, typically zygomorphic or actinomorphic with a calyx of five sepals that are persistent after flowering. Corolla with 5 mostly unequal petals, the anterior petal larger and often spurred. Plants with five stamens with the abaxial stamen often spurred at the base. The gynoecium is a compound pistil of three united carpels with one locule. Styles simple, ovary superior, ovules many. The fruits are capsules splitting by way of three seams. Seeds with endosperm.
Three subfamilies are recognized: the Violoideae, the Leonioideae and the Fusispermoideae.

Tritt Named National Blue Ribbon School for 2013
U.S. Department of Education
Office of Communications & Outreach, Press Office
400 Maryland Ave., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20202
September 24, 2013
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today recognized 286 schools as the 2013 cohort of National Blue Ribbon Schools, based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in improving student academic achievement. Secretary Duncan made this year's announcement live via the Department's USTREAM channel http://www.ustream.tv/channel/education-department, viewed by recognized principals, teachers, and students assembled across the country.
The Department will honor 236 public and 50 private schools at a recognition ceremony on Nov. 18-19 in Washington, D.C. In its 31-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,500 of America's schools.
"Excellence in education matters and we should honor the schools that are leading the way to prepare students for success in college and careers," said Secretary Duncan. "National Blue Ribbon schools represent examples of educational excellence, and their work reflects the belief that every child in America deserves a world-class education."
The National Blue Ribbon Schools award honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where significant improvements are being made in students' levels of achievement.
The program recognizes schools in one of two performance categories. The first category is "Exemplary High Performing," in which schools are recognized among their state's highest performing schools, as measured by state assessments or nationally-normed tests. The second category is "Exemplary Improving," in which schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds demonstrate the most progress in improving student achievement levels as measured by state assessments or nationally-normed tests.
To select National Blue Ribbon Schools, the Department requested nominations from the top education official in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and the Bureau of Indian Education. The Council for American Private Education (CAPE) nominates private schools. A total of 420 schools nationwide may be nominated, with allocations determined by the numbers of K-12 students and schools in each jurisdiction. The Secretary of Education invites nominated schools to submit an application for possible recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School.
NOTE TO EDITORS: A list of the 2013 National Blue Ribbon Schools is available at http://www.ed.gov/nationalblueribbonschools.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy may not grace our TV screens on a weekly basis anymore on Dancing With the Stars, but at least we got to see him do what he does best -- dance! -- on General Hospital!
Last week, Maks made his first appearance on the long-time soap with his bro Val Chmerkovskiy's former DWTS partner Kelly Monaco, and the result was hot, hot, hot! (As if we'd expect anything less from our fave sexy pro.) General Hospital recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the soap marked the occasion with Maks' on-screen debut.
It's time for the annual Nurses Ball, and you know what that means: dancing! The DWTS pro is playing Anton Ivanov, and from his first episode, it looks like he's one of the choreographers for the ball. Oh, and he has his eye on Kelly's character Samantha Morgan. We're already anticipating the ballroom dance scene!
Back in January, General Hospital Executive Producer Frank Valentini told Access Hollywood they wanted to bring Dancing With the Stars pro Val back to GH, and maybe have him do a little dance with his All-Stars partner, Kelly Monaco. However, we were warned that Val might be too busy with DWTS to return to GH this spring, and that's the case. We're not crying for him, since he's in a prime position to win Season 16 with Disney cutie Zendaya Coleman — and at least his brother was able to step in!
We knew we'd eventually find a silver lining to Maks taking off Season 16. Watch the episode below, and tell us what you think of Maks' debut!

NICEVILLE — Bruce Place power-walked early Monday morning at Turkey Creek Trail with a portable CD player in hand. The Valparaiso man says he walks four miles a day and has been doing so since the trail opened.
The City of Niceville wants to do more. It has applied for grant funding to extend the trail's boardwalk, acquired 65 acres of land off of College Boulevard and is in the final stages of purchasing another 9 acres off of John Sims Parkway.
View a slideshow from Turkey Creek.
"I would like a longer walk and different scenery," Place said as he made his way down the south end trail, which measures three-quarters of a mile. "Now, I walk up and down twice and then go halfway up and back to do four miles."
The trail is open year-round from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. for walking on the boardwalk and swimming in the creek that stays at a constant 67 degrees. Park Manager Joe Caudill said on summer weekends anywhere from 800 to 1,200 people are found in the water and on the trail.
Each morning, walkers and joggers exercise on the boardwalk, occasionally taking pause to look over the railing at turtles or other wildlife that frequent the wooded area.
For the past two years, according to Niceville City Manager Lannie Corbin, officials have been working to connect the gap between the north and south ends. Corbin said a grant for $30,000 has been sent out and officials will likely hear back this summer.
If the grant is not approved, Corbin said the boardwalk extension will be made in-house by city officials who built the original boardwalk.
"I think it's important to tie the two ends together," Corbin said. "We got approval for this grant awhile ago. It's been a long, drawn out affair but we're excited to do this for the community."
In addition to the boardwalk, Corbin said plans are being made for the newly acquired 65 acres, which cost about $420,000 and were paid for by a state grant. Corbin said the land is in a no-fly zone beside Eglin reservation, which means no permanent fixtures can be built there. Plans for the land include camping grounds and an area for hiking.
Corbin said he also is working on a plan for the 9 acres off of John Sims Parkway, which cost an estimated $1.4 million and were purchased through the state grant. Some plans include additional parking, reestablishing a stream once flowing through the land with a walkway over the water and possibly building an amphitheater or adding other recreational areas for visitors.
Plans are expected to move forward within the next year, according to Corbin. No firm dates have been set.
"Turkey Creek is our Central Park and it's just going to get better with the new additions," Corbin said.

LAKE NYOS in Cameroon, which nine years ago belched out a suffocating cloud of carbon dioxide that killed 1700 people, can be safely treated to prevent another fatal release, say French scientists. The claim, from a team led by Michael Halbwachs, a vulcanologist at Savoie University in Chambéry, is based on the results of an experiment at the lake carried out in March. But some critics say the team's method is useless, while others say it could even be dangerous because any disturbance to the lake bed could provoke another disaster.
In 1986, a massive eruption of CO2 from the volcanic lake killed people and livestock up to 25 kilometres away. Two years earlier, a similar release from nearby Lake Monoun killed 37 people

Good Things added to Nokia's Ovi Maps
Nokia has added a new feature to its Ovi Maps service that will allow users to find points of interest, but also to make contributions themselves. It's called "Good Things".
The idea is that locals know an area best, and allowing them to recommend great restaurants, hidden-away locations and other nifty little things that people who "aren't from round 'ere" might not know.
Earlier in the year, Nokia Interactive's head of sales - John Stoneman - laid the philosophical groundwork for the move, explaining how to monetise such an application:
"If users are just trying to find a route from A to B then advertisers will have to be fairly serendipitous to be able to guess what will interest them as they pass, or they're going to have to bombard them with so many ads that they will become frustrated - which will result in a bad user experience".
Good Things will be available in 25 countries, and should be launched on mobile handsets and on the Web imminently.

Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup
This classic 8-cup coffee press is still made with the same painstaking craftsmanship as the original from the fifties, but this latest version has a new chrome-plated steel frame and lid that will last for years. It features a wide, matte-black polypropylene handle that provides a cool, comfortable grip and adds to the modern style of the design. The borosilicate glass carafe is heat-resistant, and the entire press is dishwasher safe.

To make the finest coffee, use 1 rounded tablespoon of coarse-ground coffee for each 4-fl oz cup of coffee, and follow these simple steps:
- Add fresh, coarsely ground coffee to the pot.
- Pour in well-temperated water (not boiling) and stir.
- Wait 3 – 4 minutes.
- Stop the brewing process by gently pressing down the plunger.
Original coffee press design from the fifties is considered by coffee connoisseurs as one of the best ways to brew coffee.
Stainless steel frame and lid feature a durable, polished surface.
Heat-resistant borosilicate glass carafe holds up to 1 liter/34 fl oz.

Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
For me this coffee maker turns out great tasting coffee like I would drink in Europe. It is strong with good bold flavor, but not bitter. I have already told several friends about it.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
I received this as a gift from my wife for Father's Day. My first try at making coffee in it came out very well and I've even gotten better since. I love how easy the Bodum is to use and the ease of clean-up.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
Received this promptly. It works beautifully. Easy directions and as a coffee lover, it is great. There are no problems or disadvantages with it. Strongly recommend it. Really great procedure and easy to use.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
I have seen many different types of French Press, Starbucks has high quality French Press Coffee Presses in store.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
If you're debating between this 8-cup press and the smaller one, get this one!
I live alone and really enjoy a cup or two of quality coffee in the morning and on the weekends, so I thought the smaller size might be the way to go. Trust me, you want the 8-cup press. It's the perfect size if you're having a 2-3 cup kind of day.
Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to love.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
I love my coffee press and will recommend it to anybody that wants to have a delicious tasting coffee every morning :)
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
This Chambord french press is everything i expected. Its put together well, the glass pot does not move or shake at all, it fits snugly in its metal casing. Disassembly of the press is simple. The best part is that it gets the job done....well.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
I'm still experimenting with amounts and brewing time but having loads of fun doing so. The finished cup of java is grand.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
I've had other Bodum French press in the past. This one is by far the best one. Best tasting coffee. Won't ever go back to making coffee any other way. Highly recommend it.
Comments about Chambord Coffee Press by Bodum®, 8-cup:
We love our Bodum French Press. I have used French Presses for years (after a trip to France) when wanting a smaller quantity of coffee. I resisted for a while because clean up was messy but then discovered an easy way to clean up. Simply put a paper towel in the drainer of your sink. Put a little liquid in the grounds in the pot and then pour into the paper towel. Let it drain and then transfer the grounds and paper towel to the trash. I now will use my French Press instead of my large pots since clean up is so easy and the taste is fabulous!
In addition, I priced this French Press pot in a variety of coffee stores and the Starbuck's on line price is the best I could find.

Good quality drill happy with its performance and battery life
Richard wyndham | 14 July 2014
My old ryobi batteries were failingto hold a charge, so i bought this drill with the included lithium batteries - at a very good price. I was impressed with the power of these new batteries, drillingsuddenlybecame easy again. The batteries are not large capacity, but fine for home diy guys if you have other batteries and not super pressing time scales. The drill works fine for normal and hammer action work. So overall pleased with this purchase.
Richard mort | 14 July 2014
This is a really excellent bit of kit and so far has not let me down. The battery life is very good and the battery charges relatively quickly.

Whether it's software engineers and their compilers or electrical engineers and their oscilloscopes, engineers and makers of all kinds rely on tools to build great things every day. We depend on tools so much that we often take our ability to use them for granted. The NerdKits team was contacted by a blind mechanical engineering student, and combined technologies from two earlier projects to produce a set of talking digital calipers that turn a distance measurement into an audible readout. The video includes a clip where Terry explains his passion for engineering and shows how he uses the talking calipers in his job and classes, so be sure to take a look.
