Francis Carver: Bloody hell and back.....
A really small, 1/1.7-inch sensor camera....
With only an amusingly small 4x range zoom lens....
Without a viewfinder of any type..... and without a 3.5mm jack for an external microphone.
That records video clips in only a single frame rate.
And despite of all these shortcomings, the Olympus STYLUS XZ-2 iHS is going to be listed for US$599.99.
I guess I am not getting this one at all, either. Quickly, somebody from the Oly camp pls explain what it is that we must just love with this cutie-pie new baby?
What we love is the lense and sensor combination. Stop living in specs.
Having a large sensor is not everything. Some people have already explained it here, but having a large sensor and constrained glass (like many cameras in this price range) does not work.
I dont know if you've noticed lately, but the camera's in high end phones - like the iphone and the Samsung Galaxy S3, are able to take some really fanastic photos. You are artificially restricting your camera choices by focusing on the sensor. Small cameras do not pair well with big sensors, regardless of what you might think.

Should SEO Copywriters Worry About Word Count?
We've seen the studies. People tend to read less on the web. Instead of diving right into a great piece of content, they skim the waters and pick up tidbits of information here and there. Does this mean that all SEO copywriters should craft content that's short, sweet, and to the point?
Well, kind of. Sort of. Maybe. Let's talk about it more.
The Trouble with Length
You see, most SEO copywriters are tasked with creating content that's both valuable and friendly to search engines. It's a tough job, but it's not impossible. In terms of length, many SEO copywriters get nervous about crafting something that's too long or dragging. They have to keep up the pace with internet readers without being redundant. Sometimes, that can take 100 words. Other times, it can take a thousand. There's really no hard and fast rule when it comes to length of an article, blog post, or section page. It all depends on three huge factors:
1.) The Audience: What do they want? Do they really have time to read this? Do they tend to like more explanation? Will they actually get what I'm writing about? Be familiar with your audience, their traits, and the language they prefer.
2.) The Subject: Does the copy speak to the subject? Does it provide enough detail? Am I providing information that's useful? Am I avoiding being redundant? Know your subject and know what information to convey.
3.) The Purpose: Do you want to inform? Convince? Convert? Decide on a goal before you start writing.
These three factors (and all of these questions) can be great indicators when it comes time to think about length in a piece of SEO content. So, to answer the initial question: SEO copywriters shouldn't be so concerned with length, as long as they're communicating clearly.
But What About Best Practices?
Now, there are also a few schools of thought when it comes to SEO copywriting best practices concerning length. You want to serve your purpose and be creative, but what about space? Do you have too much space to fill? Too little? What can you do to actually streamline the copywriting process so that you have a length that's good for web readers? Well, here are a few tips that I use when it comes time to write some SEO-friendly copy.
Make it Easy to Read
Internet readers, as I mentioned, tend to skim, so it's important to write content that's easy to read. One way to break up text so that it's reader-friendly is to use lists, bullet points, and different headers (or categories, sub-categories,etc.) You'll see that I did it with this post. Remember - white space is your friend!
Use Common Sense
Web readers
abide by
the same rulesSuit the length to the medium. If you're working on a section page, use common sense. You want to have enough text to inform the visitor without pushing products or other valuable information below the fold. Consider the space you're given to work with and then go from there. If you have a blog post to write, think about the reader. Will they have to scroll to keep reading? Can they click to read more? Think about these things when you get concerned with length.
Short and Sweet
Remember all of that stuff you learned in grammar school about the meaty, 3 paragraph essay structure? You know, having a neat and tidy introduction, body, and conclusion all constructed out of thick sentences? Toss it out. Web readers don't abide by the same rules. Instead, they look for pieces that look easy to read and *gasp* interesting. Keep your paragraphs and sentences trim.
...And To The Point
Avoid redundancy. If you feel you have to repeat yourself over and over, you're probably not communicating your idea clearly. Go back and edit. Proofread. Make sure everything fits and get to the point. Internet readers are short on both time and patience. Tell them what they need to know and do it quickly. Just make it interesting.
Feel Free to Play
Speaking of interesting, it's paramount that you utilize your space wisely. Get the reader wanting more with an attention-grabbing headline and shorter paragraphs. Then, make things visually appealing by adding an image or graphic. Work with the medium; it's so much more fun that that lined piece of notebook paper your teacher gave you to work with!
Don't Sweat the Word Count
When it comes to word count, don't focus in on a number. Instead, think about what your purpose is and what information you have to convey. Then, consider the language and length that would be most appropriate to your audience. If you can say it in fewer words, go for it. If you can't, don't stress.
Breaking Up Isn't Always Hard to Do
Worried about being long-winded or lengthy? Don't be afraid to break up a large piece of text or article into several shorter pieces that are easier for a reader to digest and better yet, remember. Just think, that huge blog post you've been working on can now be stretched across several days!
These are just a few suggestions on how you can work with length in SEO copy. The truth is that there really is no official rulebook when it comes to crafting content. As long as it provides value, is interesting, and incorporates SEO best practices, consider yourself on top of your game - and in the good graces of internet readers.

Hi Mandy. I don't think word count is a huge issue unless you have been given a specific requirement. The main thing to remember is who you are writing to and if your content gets the point across.
.-= Aaron recently posted: Sharp AQUOS LC46LE700UN 46-Inch LED HDTV Review =-.
Hi Mandy,
Interesting topic since many seem to agree that keyword density does not exist. Is there a minimum that the engines want to see? Using multiple keywords in an article can get you over the minimum, it is exists, without writing more. Just make sure all keywords fit neatly together in the title and url as well.
Hi Patrick,
Great points!
I don't think there's necessarily a minimum because in one website, you may find a variety of content sizes and lengths. I think the length should suit the area that you're writing for. For example, in an e-commerce site, product descriptions should be shorter than a dedicated article in a resources section since most buyers want item descriptions to very direct and easy to digest. I think it has to be enough to get the point across to the searcher while establishing context.
Search engines aren't just looking at keywords you're targeting. They're also considering other words and variations in the text to make sure that the content, no matter what its size, makes sense and is valuable. Plus, keywords that establish context tend to occur naturally anyway, so there's no worrying about trying to squeeze tons of keywords into one piece of content.
Hi Mandy,
I think word count doesn't really matter to search engines these days, and it's always best to keep your readers interested with the content you are offering to them. In my opinion, what's best for both your audience and to search engines is to keep the quality of the content in a manner that it will look natural, whether it's a 350 or 2,000 word entry. The only real "trick" is to make it relevant and must contain valuable information. As a reader myself, I do bookmark those over-delivered posts that I found for future readings. So I guess, there are no standards for post's word count. It really depends on the topic sometimes.
.-= Jason Acidre recently posted: Edu and Gov Sites Advanced Link Building =-.
I think the problem is that many people (particularly those in the online marketing community) operate on the premise that the more words a page contains, the higher the chance of ranking. On a similar note, many feel the need to stuff a page with content, in order to improve 'keyword density' a factor which is becoming less and less important in SERPS.
I definitely agree. More content does not mean better rankings. You can have a site that has thousands upon thousands of words on it but that doesn't mean that it'll do well in the SERPs. Keyword density isn't a focus anymore. It's now more important to create content that's well written and relevant. In most cases, the keywords and necessary variations will occur naturally, but it never hurts to do a little extra research. I think the key is understanding that content can't just have keyword phrases and length to it. It has to offer value.
Hey there , I am a beginner so I took point of almost everything , the thing I am most interested in learning is , how to chose a good title , so It would be attractive , promising , yet when people come to read the content , they wont feel betrayed by a "Advertisement heading" … ? I am up for any suggestion.
Hi Ali!
I actually wrote a post on here awhile back about headlines. I hope it could be of some help:
I always worry about the word count of a post, what bother me is that I think a short post, says 300-400 words post wouldn't be able to brand a blog. I'll stick to at least 500 words a post even I'm out of idea. But what I found out from the readers is that they only read the points of the article, usually they just read the title and point, they don't even bother to read the introduction, that's what I observed.
I agree with you Mandy, as long as the post tells the main point, the length of post isn't important.

Increases Your Website Visitors, Qualified Leads and Profits.
The MDZ 5-Step Strategy™ is significantly different from what most internet marketing providers are doing. It doesn't involve shoot-from-the-hip guesswork, and it doesn't use shady-short-term tactics.
Regular SEO focuses in helping you get more visitors via search engines such as Google. The problem with this is that you are putting your business future at risk by relying on one source of traffic.
Other problems with regular SEO is that most "SEO experts" use low quality link building, shady tactics, and other short-term solutions, and most of them do not have a clear and systematic process or strategy.
We do things differently. We utilize a proven and systematic process to design a modular and sustainable marketing strategy that focus on what matters the most to business owners:
To do this, we use a simple little equation that over the past 12 years and based on thousands of hours of research and real life case studies has proven that it is the best way to grow a business.
That simple little equation is…
Think about this…
Nothing happens online without visitors and leads.
You can't generate leads without visitors.
And you most definitely can't sell your products or services without leads.
Massive online footprint:
With regular SEO all your traffic is from Google. But with MDZ 5-Step Strategy™, besides ranking and bringing traffic from Google and other search engines, we create traffic sources from the 1000's of places online where your business, phone number, address, business hours, pictures, videos, your website link, your content; the most important information about your business can reside. It's like having 1000's of mini websites all over the internet working for you.
MDZ 5-Step Strategy™ taps your website into a whole universe of traffic that most SEO consultants don't know how to access.

FOSSIL feathers have always been rare in the geological record, but now two British palaeontologists have discovered that they are not feathers at all. Rather, they are fossilised bacterial mats that preserve the shape of the long-vanished feathers. The discovery implies that bacteria may play a much larger role in preserving soft tissues than palaeontologists previously supposed.
Paul Davis of the University of Bristol studied the early stages of fossilisation by submerging bird carcasses in oxygen-deficient swamps in the Florida Everglades. Just a day later, he found that the feathers were already beginning to decompose, their surfaces covered by a micrometre-thick layer of unidentified rod-shaped bacteria.
Davis and his colleague Derek Briggs then looked at a variety of fossilised feathers under a scanning electron microscope. They found that the fossils consisted of "swarms of bacteria-shaped rods, parallel aligned and end-to-end, like flowing mats" (Geology, vol 23, p 783). None of ...

About Me New Pet Owner
Bought this for our 2month old Pup. We first used the potty training diaper for a week which worked only when he is in his pen, but once we let him out he poops and potty all over the house! I am so happy we stumbled on this product. We left it in his pen for 3 days and finally can let him roam the house because when he needs to go he automatically goes to the potty mat. Great product.

Great product!

I bought this to help aid in the potty training of a new 6 month old puppy. She started using it all on her own in a few days. I didn't even have to introduce her to it. I put a peeped under the grass for easy cleanup.
Great stress relieving way to train :)
By Jwelder
from DuBois, PA
I got this product for my chihuahua who is actually already potty trained to go outside, but hates going out in the winter and I feel bad watching her shiver. Well she didn't want anything to do with it (she is very committed to going outside). We recently got an Australian Shepherd pup though and never picked up the potty patch, the very first day we brought her home she surprised us by going over and using it. We have had her for 4 days now and not one accident in the house, she is using the potty patch religiously and it relieves all of our stresses about leaving, and nighttime! Unfortunately we got the small dog size, so we have to buy a bigger size eventually, but it stays out of the way, stays in place (even the grass), is lightweight and easy to clean out afterward. I have nothing bad to say about it, yet have only been using it for 4 days.

Dog takes lasix, urinates more frequently than other dogs. Needed place for her to go in basement. She uses all the time. However the fake grass had become hard to clean started to smell. Had to throw out. Also the size for the large dogs is just two trays with a connector that is useless. That has been thrown out as well. Needs work. New grass and better construction for large dogs.

Rare brown crow spotted in Plymouth
Posted: February 11, 2013|
A Plymouth woman has captured photos of what she believes to be a rare brown crow in Plymouth.
Crows are generally black, but a genetic condition called leucism - similar to albinism - can cause them to lose some of their colour pigmentation.
This means that some of the feathers that should be black may instead be brown - or sometimes in patches of white.
A leucistic bird featuring all-one colour is even rarer - with patches of abnormal feathers the more usual result of leucism.
Cheryl Garniss, an instructor at Plymouth's Art of Dance studio, first spotted the crow a few months ago - but has been unable to get a clear picture of it.
She said: "The picture was taken this morning, Saturday, at about 8.30am.
"I first saw it when we moved to the area in May, so I couldn't say when it appeared."
Art of Dance studio owner Sam Remmer, who first saw the crow last month, said: "Plymouth has a leucistic crow - these are very rare and very pretty."
She added: "I first saw it two weeks ago in Patna Park, it has also been spotted in Pennycomequick."
Sightings of leucistic crows are uncommon. The condition itself is rare and the change of colour can make the animals an easier target for predators.
The lack of melanin in the feathers can also reduce their weather-protection.
Plumage also plays a part in bird courtship rituals, making it hard for leucistic birds to find a mate.
Leucistic crows are also difficult to identify clearly, as the birds can turn out to be the closely related jay, or a juvenile jackdaw.
The British Trust for Ornithology carried out a survey in 2011 and found 49 sightings of crows with abnornmal plumage across the UK in one month - ranging from small patches of white feathers to full albinism.
A spokesman for the trust said: "Leucism is a very unusual condition whereby the pigmentation cells in an animal or bird fail to develop properly. This can result in unusual white patches appearing on the animal, or, more rarely, completely white creatures."

Sausage came in second. These two topping favorites did not vary by state.
Anchovies, tomatoes and peppers were among the least favorites.

Clergy Coalition Launches Campaign to Educate Village Voice Media's Top 50 Advertisers about Sex Ads of Minors on Backpage.com
Following Similar Effort by Four U.S. Senators, Auburn Seminary President Invites National Brands Advertising in Village Voice Media Publications to Help Combat Child Sex Trafficking
New York, NY — A coalition of clergy launched a campaign this week to educate the top 50 advertisers in Village Voice Media (VVM) publications about the sex trafficking controversy surrounding VVM's classifieds Web site Backpage.com. This advertiser education campaign is being organized by Groundswell, the social action initiative of Auburn Seminary and convener of a coalition of over 600 clergy calling for Backpage.com's Adult section to be closed. Yesterday, a group of U.S. Senators announced asimilar effort in which they contacted advertisers of Village Voice Media, citing the same concerns as the clergy.
In an electronic communication to the companies on April 18, Auburn Seminary President Rev. Dr. Katharine Henderson asked these advertisers to examine their relationships with VVM publications while Backpage.com provides an Adult section of its Web site where underage children and teens have been sold for sex through ads placed by others. She wrote: "I urge you to consider your ongoing relationship with publications owned by Village Voice Media and to work with us to encourage the company to shut down the adult section of its Web site until it can be certain that nochildren or teens will be exploited through the section."
On April 12, U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (R-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and John Cornyn (R-TX) contacted numerous organizations advertising in Village Voice Media publications to inform them that VVM's Backpage.com has been linked to dozens of child sex trafficking cases. The Senators stated, "We are writing to strongly encourage you, as well as other leaders of major employers, charitable organizations, and public, educational and cultural institutions that advertise on Village Voice publications, to use your economic influence to end the online child sex trafficking facilitated by a Village Voice Media subsidiary, Backpage.com."
Village Voice Media's top 50 advertisers to whom Groundswell reached out span a wide range of industries, and include retail; restaurant/food/drink; sports; cinema; entertainment/art; telecom; travel; banking; and social media/TV/radio. Combined, the companies have advertised in all 13 of Village Voice Media's weekly publications, which are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, NewYork, Texas, and Washington.
"Businesses advertising in Village Voice Media publications must be informed of the controversy surrounding the sex ads of minors on Backpage.com. Once these companies become aware of all the facts, we are confident they will join us in encouraging Village Voice Media to take the morally right step and shut down the Adult section of Backpage.com," Rev. Dr. Henderson said.
After learning of the controversy over Backpage.com's sex ads, seven advertisers and other affiliated businesses have expressed their displeasure to Village Voice Media, decided to stop advertising in Village Voice Media publications, or stated that they do not have future plans to advertise in Village Voice Media publications. These advertisers are AT&T, Live Nation, MillerCoors, Crown Imports LLC, TRIBECA Performing Arts Center, NYC Film Forum, and High Times.
Backpage.com came under intense scrutiny following an August 2011 letter to the company by the National Association of Attorneys General, which stated that it has "tracked more than 50 instances, in 22 states over three years, of charges filed against those trafficking or attempting to traffic minors on Backpage.com" and that "many more instances likely exist." This coalition of 51 of the nation's attorneys general called on VVM to shut down the Adult section of its Web site.
Groundswell made its first public appeal to VVM to take action and close Backpage.com's Adult section in October 2011, when it published an open letter to VVM in a full-page ad in The New York Times. It also launched at that time a petition on Change.org, which to date has gathered over 225,000 signatures. Last month, Groundswell organized a rally outside the office of Village Voice Media flagship publication The Village Voice in New York City todeliver the petition signatures.
Today, 19 U.S. Senators, over 600 faith leaders, 53 leading anti-trafficking experts and organizations, state and city lawmakers around the country, and more than 225,000 individuals have added their voices to the attorneys general's and appealed to VVM to shut down the Adult section of Backpage.com, which services nearly 400 markets.
In the last several weeks, as the sex trafficking controversy surrounding Backpage.com has heated up and gained more public attention, at least two firms with investments in the privately-held Village Voice Media -- Goldman Sachs and Trimaran Capital – reportedly have agreed to sell their shares back to the company. Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder calling for the Obama administration to pursue possible criminal prosecution of Backpage.com.
Village Voice Media does not agree with Groundswell's view that Backpage.com's adult section should be shut down. Here's a statement they provided to Nicholas Kristof in January 2012 explaining their position: http://media.villagevoicemedia.com/Backpage-statement-to-nicholas-kristof.7585803.0.pdf

As a participant in an effort to call attention to the critical issue of child trafficking, I am concerned that [COMPANY] advertises in publications owned by Village Voice Media – including [LIST PUBLICATIONS] – while the Adult section of Village Voice Media's classifieds Web site (Backpage.com) has been used by others to advertise the sale of children and teens for sex.
Village Voice Media's adult advertising has received national media attention, including several recent columns written by Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. One of Kristof's columns vividly profiles a young woman who was sold for sex by pimps advertising her online (The New York Times, 3/18/12). Although Village Voice Media disputes that Backpage.com was used in this particular instance (Village Voice News, March 21, 2012) you should know that the National Association of Attorneys General has stated that it has "tracked more than 50 instances, in 22 states over three years, of charges filed against those trafficking or attempting to traffic minors on Backpage.com" and that "many more instances likely exist" (National Association of Attorneys General).
For the sake of the children who have been sold for sex by individuals advertising them on Backpage.com, I urge you to consider your ongoing relationship with publications owned by Village Voice Media and to work with us to encourage the company to shut down the adult section of its Web site until it can be certain that no children or teens will be exploited through the section.
You should be aware that Village Voice Media does not agree with our view that it should shut down the section, maintaining that it has implemented a number of safeguards that seek to prevent children and teens from being advertised on the site and that the company actively cooperates with law enforcement to help investigate any illegal activity. For example, in various postings on its Backpage.com blog, Village Voice Media explains its position and various actions it is taking (e.g., July 11, 2011 and September 29, 2010).
Despite these efforts, recent instances of advertisements with tragic consequences demonstrate that these measures don't ensure that there will not be more human tragedies like the one described in The New York Times. In a response to Kristof, even Village Voice Media itself has admitted that, regardless of their implemented measures, there will continue to be "a small percentage that involve human trafficking and that are difficult to detect and eliminate."
As President of Auburn Theological Seminary, I represent a coalition of nearly 600 faith leaders from different religious traditions who have joined 51 of the nation's attorneys general (NAAG letter), 53 leading anti-trafficking experts and organizations (NGO letter), 19 U.S. Senators (senators' letter) state and city lawmakers around the country, and over 225,000 citizens calling on Village Voice Media (Change.org) to shut down the Adult section of Backpage.com, where advertisements placed by others have resulted in the sex trafficking of girls.
The demands for Village Voice Media to shut down the Backpage.com adult section are growing quickly. The New York City Council is considering a resolution echoing our concerns about Backpage.com (New York City Council). The Washington state governor signed into law a bill aimed at cracking down on the adult ad business and Backpage.com (The New York Times, 4/1/12). Connecticut is considering similar legislation (The New York Times, 4/1/12). And Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) recently sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder calling for the Obama administration to pursue possible criminal prosecution of Backpage.com.
Following public criticism of Backpage.com, at least two firms with investments in Village Voice Media have reportedly agreed to sell their shares back to the company (Reuters, 4/1/12; Reuters, 4/5/12). Nicholas Kristof wrote recently that Goldman Sachs, which held a 16% stake in Village Voice Media, was "mortified" when he "began inquiring last week about its stake in America's leading Web site for prostitution ads. It began working frantically to unload its shares, and on Friday afternoon [March 30] it called to say that it had just signed an agreement to sell its stake to management." A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that a second firm, Trimaran Capital Partners, would sell its holdings in Village Voice Media back to the company (Reuters, 4/5/12).
I hope you that will examine your ongoing relationship with Village Voice Media and its various publications, while Backpage.com provides an Adult section of its Web site where underage girls have been sold for sex via ads placed by others in the past. This is an important opportunity for your company to do the right thing.
For a fuller description of our position on this critical safety, security, and health matter affecting children and teens right here in the U.S, please visit our Web site:
Given the urgency of this issue and the very real possibility that more girls could be exploited by others through advertisements in the Adult section of Village Voice Media's Backpage.com in the coming weeks, I ask that your company consider these issues as soon as possible.
I look forward to your prompt reply and to joining together to do the right thing, right now, to protect our kids.
Please do not hesitate to be in touch with any questions or thoughts about our efforts.

There's a system call named "stat" on both Unix and Windows, that
retrieves three times. "Access" time and "content modification"
time have the same meaning on both systems,
That's interesting to me because it's a significant difference between
what I see on iSeries where "Access" time and "content modification"/
"Changed" time values seem to be handled in a more logical or "correct"
way ?

I'm an easy-going laidback person who loves to laugh. My friends would describe me as someone who's loyal and caring and generally good-hearted. However, I will admit that I'm not that good-natured in the morning, lol. I have a great sense of humor and can be sarcastic/witty but moreoften than not, my humor tends to veer towards the dark side. I have a fair number of tattoos, I'm into body art and piercings (even though most of mine were removed for a new job, whatever) I don't really have a specific "type". I'm just looking for someone who likes to spend time with family and friends, has a great sense of humor, is equally comfortable going out or staying in for a quiet night at home. But, I will admit to having a soft spot for guys who like motorcycles and classic cars...

I haven't traveled a lot but Hawaii and the Carribbean would definitely be at the top of my list. St. Kitts was great too, finally went ziplining there. Of course any place could become a favorite place depending on the person that I'm with...

My favorite tv shows are rather gory, True Blood is a favorite and I also like the books that the show is based on. I like all different types of music, from GreenDay to Prince to Mary J. Blige and everything in between.
Hmm, what do I like to do in my spare time? I think it depends on my mood and the company that I'm in. I love going to Napa with a group of friends, having a spa day and wine-tasting or just going to the movies, concerts or reading a good book.
Hmm, the last book that I read was called dead Streets. I won't go into too much detail but it involves a P.I. who happens to be a zombie...

this game makes me sleep, it's so slow, fifa is really the best (:
What's the point of posting this video on your site? I'm sure you could have found gameplay of someone that knows how to play.
well there's 2:40 i'm never getting back. Could have chosen a bit where something actually happened FFS...
is it just me or is the audio out of sync? i wanted to hear the new audio properly!
Aleast its luks better lets wait for the demo,pes ar tryin to improve
if ur gona show off gameplay get people that know how to play.
Let's hope it puts up a fight against Fifa.
It's really hard to judge sports games by watching game footage, especially watching player vs. player as you don't even get insight into the quality of the AI....
So much of it is based on how the game responds to you the player, will have to wait for a demo to get a feel for it and see whether Pro or Fifa will be ruling the roost next season....
The players´ movement doesn´t look that real, the players must run naturally, I thought I was going to be better but I will still prove it actually.
@shaunchgo maybe because this is the only gameplay we got? (actually there are two gameplays) and it was played by one of the developers at E3? -_-

Hyper-Texting and Hyper-Networking Pose New Health Risks for Teens
Texting while driving can be a deadly combination for anyone. Yet, new data reveal that the dangers of excessive texting among teens are not limited to the road. Hyper-texting and hyper-networking are now giving rise to a new health risk category for this age group.
Scott Frank, MD, MS, lead researcher on the study and director of the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine Master of Public Health program, presented the findings at the American Public Health Association's 138th Annual Meeting & Exposition in Denver.
Researchers surveyed a cross section of high school students from an urban Midwestern County and assessed whether use of communication technology could be associated with poor health behaviors, including smoking, drinking and sexual activity.
According to the research, hyper-texting, defined as texting more than 120 messages per school day, was reported by 19.8 percent of teens surveyed, many of whom were female, from lower socioeconomic status, minority and had no father in the home. Continue reading …

OK, yes I think you have a Armstrong regenerative radio there, but it certainly isn't designed for optimum performance, IMO. Still, what you are doing is providing yourself with some wonderful and interesting experiments and it's teaching you many things.
Yes, I suggest you copy an existing HF design when you go to make up a "real" radio and go from there. However, you do have many of the elements already.
If you want to continue to experiment, here are some suggestions:
The way you "couple" (or don't couple) the antenna to the tank circuit won't work at HF unless your antenna is really short because there will be too much capacitance in the circuit. You really need to couple the tank circuit to the antenna using a small value capacitor or (better yet) an antenna coil that is inductively coupled to the tank circuit.
The way you are controlling the regeneration and tapping off the audio is not really very good.
In the old days, the regeneration control was called the "throttle" and "throttling" is still best done with a variable capacitor. I would suggest removing R1 and R2 from their present locations, put a 1-2 MH choke coil in where R2 is now, discard R2, put a variable "throttle" cap between the top of the tickler coil and ground for smooth regeneration control and then relocate R1 so it's between the choke coil (opposite the tickler coil) and the battery. Tap the audio off at R1 using the blocking cap C3 as shown.
Have fun.

How could a stranger be an authorized user on another stranger's credit card account? The phenomenon is a byproduct of our capitalistic system.
"The unscrupulous got ahold of the idea and started charging people with poor credit a fee to be added on to a person who has good credit. I am certainly foursquare against that, but as far as the legitimate use of piggybacking, I don't have a problem with it," Cunningham says.
The practice was due to be banned --
at least as far as the benefit to credit scores --
in the updated FICO 2008 scoring model. However, the
change did not end up in the final design, so legitimate
authorized users continue to benefit from the system.
Use alternative credit scores
In 2004, FICO introduced the Expansion score as an alternative to the classic FICO score to reach the unbanked market. It uses alternative payment data to compile a score for consumers.
"Instead of relying on one credit bureau's
information, the Expansion score instead pings a number
of small specialized credit bureaus that keep track
of fairly interesting things -- but those things are
usually not something that consumers are aware of
being tracked by credit bureaus," Watts says.
For instance, the kind of information included could be gym memberships, payments to utility companies, or rental payments to a landlord or apartment management company.
(One such alternative credit bureau
is PRBC, recently acquired by MicroBilt. Both companies
cater to small and medium-sized businesses. PRBC compiles
data provided by consumers, while MicroBilt receives
trade line data directly from small businesses.)
Besides the Expansion score, there are other, similar, scores available to lenders, but so far none are as widely used as the conventional scoring models measuring traditional credit data.
"When you introduce any new technology
or advancement for lenders, they spend a long time
kicking the tires," Watts says.
"Some credit card issuers are using
Expansion scores today, but the score hasn't really
taken off with mortgage lenders," he says. The reason:
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have had an enormous influence
on the risk-management tools lenders use and require
specific scoring criteria before purchasing mortgages.
Until the new scoring models are widely
accepted, consumers with little to no credit may be
able to benefit from them in building their credit
histories, but they likely won't be offered a mortgage
on the strength of that score alone.
However, over time, as the Expansion scores prove their predictive abilities, lenders will be more likely to use them.

'True Detective': 6-minute final shot in 'Who Goes There' explainedAdd to Favorites | True Detective
With each passing episode, "True Detective" surpasses the levels of quality expected on television. The HBO anthology series debuted its most impressive shot yet in episode 4, "Who Goes There," when director Cary Fukunaga helmed a six-minute long take that followed Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) into a heist, through shootouts and eventually into Hart's (Woody Harrelson) car.
The long take is something that Fukunaga is familiar with. The director/cinematographer employed the technique in two of his films, "Jane Eyre" and "Sin Nombre," but the striking piece of camera work is rarely seen on the small screen. He tells MTV News he knew from the get-go that he wanted to have a long shot in "True Detective" (he directed all eight episodes), and decided upon reading Nic Pizzolatto's script for episode 4 that the heist was the right moment to execute it.
"The best ones, you don't even realize that they're oners [long takes]," Fukunaga tells MTV. "They're the most first-person experience you can get in a film."
To film the sequence, Fukunaga shot in an actual housing complex. He plotted out "the most interesting path, but also the most logical path," which eventually took Cohle and Ginger over a chain-link fence. Having the camera pass over the fence along with them was one of the trickiest shots to film.
"At one point, we were going to build a ramp, and the operator was going to walk up it," Fukunaga says. "But that wasn't very safe." Having a Steadicam operator ride a weighted crane over the fence and back down to ground level again was how the final version was filmed.
Fukunaga shot seven versions of the scene. The version of the take seen in "True Detective" was truly shot all in one attempt.
"We had ADs [assistant directors] all over the neighborhood because we had to release extras, crowd running background, police cars, stunt drivers. There were actual gun shots and stones being thrown through windows. There were a lot of things to put together," Fukunaga tells MTV.
He continues, "Even the action, the stunt sequences were complicated. We're working on a television schedule. It isn't like a film where you can spend a lot of time working the stunts out with the actors. We only had a day and a half to get Matthew and everyone else on the same page."
"True Detective" airs Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

NPR's Michele Norris hosts Obama
President Barack Obama attended a cocktail party at the home of NPR host Michele Norris Johnson on Monday night, according to a pool report.
Norris and her husband, Broderick Johnson, who was an adviser on the Obama 2012 campaign, hosted the president, the first lady and others at their home in West Tisbury, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard, where the Obamas are vacationing.
Norris, a former host of NPR's "All Things Considered," left the organization in October 2011 after her husband accepted a senior adviser position with the Obama campaign. She returned in February 2013 in an expanded role as both host and special correspondent.

DRASTIC measures such as river barrages and floating buildings may be needed to protect people in New York, Boston and other US cities on the Atlantic coast from flooding. That's the message of yet another study showing that the north-east coast of North America will bear the brunt of rising seas.
Regional currents keep sea levels on the continent's eastern seaboard lower than elsewhere, but they will probably be disrupted by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. If the melting continues at its current rate, seas in the region could rise by half a metre more than the global average by 2100 (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2009gl0379980).
East-coast seas could rise by around 1 metre overall. Sea walls 2.5 metres high in Boston, buildings that can float during floods or even a barrage across New York's Hudson river may now be prudent, says Paul ...

Just another wild Saturday in college football
It's one of those Sundays when you feel as if you spent all of Saturday watching a foreign film without subtitles. You think you figured out what happened, but you're not sure you understood all of it.
Chase Daniel and Missouri could not stay unbeaten and fell to Oklahoma State.
Anyone who needs order is granted permission to look forward to college basketball season. The 2005 season, when USC and Texas began and ended the regular season ranked first and second, is a long-ago memory.
But if it makes you feel any better, Texas is back. Hang on to that palliative while we recap the rest of the carnival ride of a college football Saturday.
Three of the top four teams lost and gave up an average of more than 41 points per game while losing. Oklahoma began Saturday No. 1. The Sooners ended it tied for fourth in the Big 12 South with Baylor.
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel threw three interceptions in the second half of the second-ranked Tigers' 28-23 home loss to Oklahoma State. Daniel had thrown only one in Missouri's previous five games this season.
Northwestern and Vanderbilt are no longer unbeaten. That doesn't necessarily surprise anyone, but it's not a sentence you get to write very often.
Michigan lost to Toledo 13-10. Repeat the last sentence of the previous paragraph. The Wolverines, at 2-4, have three games against ranked teams remaining on their schedule: against Penn State, Michigan State and Ohio State. Michigan will have to defeat one of them to extend the sport's longest bowl streak of 33 seasons that began during the Ford administration, college football apparel.
Penn State and USC are the only teams in the top 10 that won by dominant margins. The Trojans defeated Arizona State 28-0. The Nittany Lions played their best game of the season at Wisconsin, winning 48-7.
But Penn State and USC are the exceptions. On this kind of Saturday, it made more sense not to play. Alabama, by remaining idle, stands as the last unbeaten team in the SEC.
California, by remaining idle, took over sole possession of the Pacific-10 Conference lead after Arizona lost 24-23 to a Stanford team that was playing a third-string quarterback.
Georgia Tech, by remaining idle … oh, wait a minute. Turns out the Yellow Jackets actually played a game Saturday. But it was hard to tell whether they knew about it. Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan tipped a 43-yard field-goal attempt on the final play of the game to preserve a 10-7 victory over FCS squad Gardner-Webb. A week earlier, Gardner-Webb lost by the same margin to Charleston Southern.
If you can make sense of that, please share.

Young alum lands position at well-known ad agency
- 09/22/10
Courtney Faudree '09 says she learned plenty while she was at Roanoke College. A business administration major with a marketing concentration, she was active on campus in several organizations and used her time at Roanoke to the fullest. After graduation, Faudree continued to learn—but this time about patience.
Ask any recent college graduate. Embarking upon the world and starting to find your way in the midst of an economic recession is far from easy. Faudree didn't lack motivation, either. She began looking for jobs and putting out feelers in November 2008, sending résumés and asking potential employers to let her know if they foresaw any openings around her graduation date. She looked online and in newspapers every day for open positions but still was unable to find anything.
"Not being able to find something was quite frustrating. It was a weight on my shoulders at all times," Faudree says. "I told myself that if I was competing for jobs with people who had 20 years of experience, what was going to make me more appealing, being young and inexperienced?"
In addition to patience, Faudree learned that things can turn around quickly. She landed a job at an advertising agency—and not just any advertising agency. She went from spending her days searching for a position to working for The Martin Agency, named U.S. Agency of the Year in 2009 by Adweek. Faudree was hired in December 2009 in a temporary position in the business management department but soon was moved to a full-time position as a project coordinator.
"It was overly exciting when I got the news of the permanent position," Faudree says. "I was no longer hanging in limbo. It was a great sense of security."
Every day has been different since Faudree started her new position. She has spent her time working on multiple accounts. When she began, she spent her time shadowing a project manager on accounts such as Discover, Barely There, Hanes and Just My Size. Since then, she has started some individual work for Moen, Morgan Stanley and the American Cancer Society. Faudree recently worked on a new campaign for the American Cancer society which includes television spots with famous musicians singing "Happy Birthday," and a website www.morebirthdays.com where different products are available.
Faudree says that working at Martin is exciting and that everything is fast-paced. "There are always opportunities to learn more about technology advancements, changes in advertising, communication skills and the like," Faudree says. "We're growing, and it's a great company to work for. Being awarded Agency of the Year is just further proof that a company in Richmond can stand up to those in New York, which we're so often compared to."
The things Faudree learned at Roanoke have helped her a lot, in her time now at the Martin Agency and in her time spent looking for a job. She says that working with career services helped in preparing for interviews, building a résumé to best highlight her accomplishments and keeping calm about the tough economy. Now that she has found a position, she's been able to use her education even more. "I feel like I can take a piece of each class and use it in some way daily," Faudree says.
Working with many different types of people in the organizations she was a part of at Roanoke has also been helpful to her. "You need to be flexible, learn to work through difficult interactions and often times be neutral when you have an opinion," Faudree says. All of these traits I learned through my experiences at Roanoke."

The club was resident at several Windsor locations over its lifespan and in later days included clubs in Guildford, Hounslow and High Wycombe, but its most famous venue was the Windsor river-side mansion at Clewer Mead.
They also put on gigs at the Drill Hall at Maidenhead in 1963 and had bands like Yardbirds, Pretty Things and the Stones. The original venue for the Tick was upstairs in the Star and Garter pub. It then moved to another pub called the Thames Hotel, not in Peascod Street Windsor but down on the Thames river front, before moving to Clewer Manor. Sunday nights saw the Disco-Tick evenings with Fridays and Saturdays given over to live bands. Geno and the Ram Jam were regulars as were Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, The Alan Price Set and others including Herbie Goynes, John Mayall and Zoot Money. The "Tick" also helped introduce Motown to the UK with The Supremes, Temptations and Stevie Wonder all appearing. There was also an in-house "Boutick" where you could buy great shirts and other clothes of the day.
Ricky-Tick can also be express quickness in the way something might be accomplished i.e. "This needs to get done most ricky-tick." Used often in US Military and Law Enforcement.

Berlinale Filmfest
The Internationale Filmfestspiele in Berlin is taking place this week. There will be more on this later....for now click here
On Saturday, the Associated Press released an article that appeared on several websites titled "Chinese Film Wins Top Award in Berlin" This is the 57th festival and it began on Feb. 8th and will end on Sunday, Feb. 18th. This article takes a fairly non-bias approach its reporting on the collection of films that were recognized at this festival. Robert DeNiro's film,The Good Shepherd, won the award for outstanding artistic
Although I couldn't find this exact coverage of the festival covered by another newspaper, I found an indie film website that focuses on the diversity that international filmmakers are bringing to this festival and also the impact that these films and industries are having on the European marketplace. Overall, this article is longwinded and not very entising. There is no kicker or vibrant lead but it does provide crucial feedback from Universal Studios co-chairman David Linde on the outlook of independent film.
I think the author of this article on the Indie website had to be conscious of his stance when portraying a prominent figure such as David Linde and had to deal with providing the public with a clear idea of where he stands on the future of independent film.

'Cougar Town' Season 4: TBS invites you to 'Spill the Wine'Add to Favorites | Cougar Town
It was perhaps inevitable that "Cougar Town" would end up using "Spill the Wine," the 1970 psychedelic groove by Eric Burdon and War, in one of its promos. In fact, it's not hard to wonder why it took this long.
(Oh yeah. Because ABC didn't do a ton of promotion for the show.)
TBS, however, is putting some marketing muscle behind its new acquisition, which begins its cable life on Jan. 8. The new teaser features the song, some appropriately trippy graphics, and the cast spilling wine all over their white clothes, with Courteney Cox getting the last and biggest splash.
It also got us thinking about how Cox's two most famous characters would react. Monica Geller would likely be appalled at all the mess, while Jules Cobb would have to be wondering why the cul-de-sac crew was wasting so much perfectly good wine.
Hit play at the top of the post, enjoy the new "Cougar Town" promo, and just try to keep "Spill the Wine" out of your head the rest of the day.

Musical revue for moms and dads has fun with familiar family topics
So I took my cousin Kristine from Kinnelon, NJ, to see the new musical "Rated P for Parenthood," which opened on Wednesday at the Westside Theatre.
Since "Rated P for Parenthood" offers songs and skits about raising kids, and I am but a clueless uncle (at best), I figured that Kris' current experiences as a mom dealing with two young girls would be helpful in determining the validity of the entertainment.
Somewhere early in the show, between the funny bit about responding to a tyke's query on "how did a baby get into mommy's tummy?" and a gentle song concerning a daughter's very first day of school, Kris whispered to me, "This is my life."
Scampering along at a quick 85 minutes, "Rated P for Parenthood" begins with birth and runs through packing the kids off to college.
2 a.m. feedings, overbearing in-laws, pink eye, dads bonding on the playground, thumb sucking, the tooth fairy, the hunky soccer coach, homework and similar kids-related stuff are among the familiar parental topics treated lightly for lots of laughter. Some of Sandy Rustin's material seems generic, but a segment about gay dads supervising their triplet sons' internet browsing is surprisingly fresh.
Dan Lipton and David Rossmer composed the more rocking than not tunes. A comical hip-hop treatment of a parent-teacher conference and a wildly operatic depiction of a mom teaching her son to drive are among their upbeat score's highlights.

Royal Review | The Good The Bad & The Ugly: Rich Forever
After being name "Man Of The Year" by The Source Magazine, Rick Ross is at a point in his career where there's only one way to go; down. Rick Ross could either get lazy with the success he's garnered or breeze into the elite class of MCs. In December, Def Jam pushed Rick Ross' highly anticipated album God Forgives I Don't so Rick Ross drops Rich Forever to hold us over.
The Good:
"They say I'm getting money Must be illuminati/ talking to the holy ghost in my Bugatti/ he knocking at the door don't let the devil in!!" I don't know whose idea it was to get Diddy on Ross' mixtape interludes but the idea changed Ross' career, no exaggeration. It's impossible to not lose your mind while Diddy is talking cash shit and Ross is flowing with so much enthusiasm.
Beat Billionaire & Rick Ross collaborations flows like water once again with "MMG Untouchable" "Yella Diamonds" and "I Swear To God." "Triple Beam Dreams" serves as Ross' plea to Nas to hire him as an A&R. That's #noshade. We all know Nas couldnt choose a good beat even if Kelis agreed to give all the child support money back. Nas! What are you thinking?? Hire this man, NOW.
The Bad:
