Customer Reviews
Well, first there is the service! Shipped the same day it was ordered! How do you do that? In three work days I was unpacking the scale and in 9 minutes it was working! Unfortunately it is extremely accurate and consistent. I guess I will have to address how heavy the object are that are placed upon the scale for measurement (the diet is working a little). Five stars are really not enough to rate this company or the product. This is simply put the best buying experience I have ever had.Reviewed by: Jim Potts from Lake Charles, LA on (8/6/2014)
I'm very happy with the quality and workmanship.Reviewed by: Stan Allen from Kansas City on (2/5/2014)
I've had this scale for a couple months now. It was very easy for this grandmother to put together alone. It's consistently accurate. Finally a scale that gives true readings, even if I don't always like what it telling me lol. It's well made, sturdy and as long as you have the room for it I highly recommend it, oh and compared to like products this price can't be beat.Reviewed by: Leslye Joseph from California on (6/7/2013)

Ireland's Longitude Licensing Ltd and Luxembourg's Longitude Flash Memory Systems S.a.r.l. have filed a joint patent infringement lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit involves a whopping 13 counts of infringement covering most iDevices and iPod models. The plaintiffs are using former SanDisk patents that they now own against Apple. On longitude's "About" page they note that they recently partnered with Conversant Intellectual Property Management Inc. ("Conversant") to assist in maximizing the value of our intellectual property. Interesting to note that Core Wireless sued Apple earlier this month and they're a wholly owned subsidiary of Conversant. So it's becoming quite evident that this super-patent troll has Apple in their crosshairs. With patents in hand from SanDisk and Nokia, Conversant and their partners will certainly be keeping Apple legal busy for some time.

A working glove (1) has a finger-tip (3) for an index finger with a round surface (2) on the top. The round surface is supported by a detail, at least partly, made out of a polymer attached to the finger-tip (3) of the working-glove (1). The working-glove (1) enables a user, such as a worker at a ware-house, to perform an input of a user interaction to a touch screen without having to remove the glove or having to try to grip a peripheral, such as a stylus. With previous known gloves this is a particular problem at ware-houses with freezing temperatures, such as in the food-industry and at distribution centers of freezed food. The invention has advantages such as that the risk for erroneous input is reduced, the work efficiency increases, and valuable time is saved in the transition between packing and entering user interaction to the touch screen.
1. A device (1) for input of a user interaction to a unit with a data processing capability by means of touch screen characterized of
that the device (1) is entirely or partly similar to a working-glove which covers the user's entire hand;—that the device (1) has a finger-tip (3) for an index finger comprising a detail (4 a, 4 b) at least partly made out of a relatively hard polymer intended to transfer a force from the user's index finger to the touch screen;
that the area (2) on the finger-tip (3) for the index finger intended to be applied to the touch screen has a mainly round shape, alternatively a conical shape, with a small cross section diameter compared to the diameter of the index finger.

The invention at hand relates to peripherals and methods to use such a peripheral, such as a stylus or keyboard, for input of user interaction with a unit having a data processing capability, such as a server, a personal computer, a hand held computer or a mobile phone. In particular the invention relates to such peripheral which is intended for users in a ware-house, stockroom or similar.
There are several known peripherals for input of user interaction with a unit having a data processing capability. An example of such a peripheral is a mouse, a track-ball with buttons or a touch pad. Another example of a peripheral for user interaction is a stylus, such as similar to a pen or other object, used for user interaction on a touch screen. A touch screen may in this context have multiple areas with different functionality. For instance, one area may primarily be used for input by pressing or touching the screen and another area may be used for writing characters by means of a stylus or other object.
WO2004031933 describes a stylus-operated graphical user interface for a computer, which includes a sensing surface having an area corresponding to a data input field.
Input to a touch screen is common to certain applications. One such application is at a stock-house or ware-house where the device with data processing capability is intended to be used for communication with, for instance, computerized warehouse systems or logistic systems, which handles different kind of goods or products. Such goods or products may be placed in a package such as a card-board box, a package, a parcel or similar. A user, such as a truck driver or a worker, may have a task to retrieve a pack list or check handled packages on a display. A common used peripheral in such an application is a stylus shaped as a pen made out of a hard polymer. Such type of stylus is common for input through touch screens to devices such as hand held computers and to some cellular phones.
There are a number of problems relating to the use of the previous mentioned stylus used at a stock-house, ware-house or similar. One problem is that such stylus is difficult to handle for a user with gloves. Working gloves are often used to protect the user's hands, such as a worker handling packages. The larger the number of possible user interactions, the greater the problem is. The smaller the area for input of the touch screen is, the greater the problem is. With increased insulation/padding of the gloves the stylus becomes more difficult to handle for the user. To overcome the problem the user often removes a glove. This implies that with the mentioned stylus, time is lost that otherwise would be used to pack and handle packages. This is due to that the user removes and puts on the glove at input to the device. The time that on an annual basis is lost is substantial. For the owner or the operator of the stock-house, ware-house, or similar, this corresponds to a substantial cost.
A particular problem arises at stock-house or ware-house with a low temperature or a freezing temperature where gloves, due to the temperature, must be insulated/padded and due to that fairly thick. As a user repeatedly removes the glove, the user gets cold hands and fingers much faster than otherwise. In such a case the risk for input errors increases. As the user's hand gets cold, there is an increased probability that the user handles packages or goods in a destructive manner, such as dropping packages or goods. In order not to remove the glove some users solves the mentioned problem by keeping the glove and use the glove covered index finger for input. In such a case a problem is that the area on the touch screen intended for input is relatively small. It is then easy to perform incorrect input as the fairly thick glove is kept on. Another remaining problem is that certain type of input requires that graphics, for instance characters or numbers, are written on the touch screen, which is not possible wearing the glove without using the stylus.
In a stock-house or ware-house it is common to position a unit with a data processing capability or communicates with such a unit, such as a terminal, on a truck or at a wall at a package handling station. A user at a handling station for instance a worker handling packages or goods, moves around in areas remote from the device while handling packages or goods. For instance, after packing a pallet or cage with packages or goods the user signs off a bill of material by means of the unit. A problem is where to keep the stylus between the occasions of user input. A solution to the problem is to place an attaching element, such as a cramp, at the unit. A remaining problem is that the user regularly drops the stylus to the floor. The floor may have bars through which the stylus disappears. Another way of handling the problem is to attach the stylus to a string, for instance with a mechanism with a yo-yo function. This decreases the risk that the stylus disappears. However, the user will still drop the stylus from time to time, which not only means that the user gets distracted but also to loss of packing time. It has also been seen that in practice a string often is snapped off.
EP1405161 describes a computer input device on a glove, which includes fittings for a user's fingers and adjustable straps for fastening to a user's wrist. A tracking device for controlling cursor movement on a video display is affixed to the glove for positioning next to the end of one of the user's fingers. Pressure plates for controlling the various right and left mouse "clicking" functions are affixed to the glove for positioning next to the ends of the other of the user's fingers. EP1405161 describes a glove with which a user can interact with a computer. However, the previous mentioned problems remain. Other devices similar to a glove are JP2003015810 and EP1387242.
An object of the invention is to solve the previous mentioned problems and other problems with the previous known stylus. A device according to the invention is intended to be used for an input of a user interaction on a touch screen of a unit having a data processing capability, characterized of that the device is similar to a working glove, which working glove covers a complete hand of a user, where the working glove comprises a tip for an index finger adapted for input to the touch screen. The tip of the index finger comprises an element at least partly made out of a relatively hard polymer. The surface of the tip of the index finger which is intended to be applied to the touch screen has a round shape, alternatively a conical shape, with a diameter less than 3 mm in cross section. A device according to the invention may be adapted to be used in a stock-house or ware-house where the user, in addition to the previous mentioned input, uses the device for moving and/or packing packages. Examples of alternative terms for packages are boxes, wrapping, pieces of goods, parcels or tubes. The user may pack them on a pallet, a trolley, truck or similar. In a preferred embodiment the device is padded with insulation. The tip of the index finger should be adapted to withstand repeated use in freezing temperature.
An advantage with the invention is that the user performs heavy work that inflicts wear and tear on the device, strokes on the device and forces from squeeze, and with the same device uses it for input to a touch screen. In this manner valuable time is saved when the user goes from a work-operation of packing, to a work-operation of performing input. This compared to previous known technology where the user often removes a glove in order to perform an input operation by means of a stylus, such as a pen shaped element, or keeping the glove on with an increased risk of failing to grip or losing the grip of the stylus. The invention is also an improvement compared to the glove like devices previous mentioned in the section describing background art which are either too expensive or unable to manage the wear and tear that comes with packing.
The present invention will be described in more detail in connection with the enclosed schematic drawings.
A device according the invention can be manufactured in several different ways, and accordingly several embodiments are possible.
A device 1 according to the invention may in an embodiment be similar to working-glove and having qualities such as being durable and facilitate for the user to keep the grip of packages which the user handles during packing. In an embodiment 6, shown in

Negligee Continues on Turf in Sands Point
A grade I winner on Polytrack as a juvenile, Negligee tries to proves her talent on turf against seven 3-year-old fillies, including a pair of recent grade III winners in the $150,000 Sands Point Stakes (gr. IIT) on Memorial Day at Belmont Park.
Sovereign Stable's Negligee made her turf debut April 29 in the Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs after making the first five starts of her career on synthetics. The daughter of Northern Afleet finished a solid second, missing by a half-length under Javier Castellano. John Velazquez will be in the irons this time in his first start aboard the bay filly.
"She's doing really well," said Terranova of Negligee, the 3-1 favorite. "We're looking forward to running her on Monday. She's handled the turf with no problem. She was a little rank early on in her race (at Churchill) but came running at the end. We are getting her back into top form."
In her 3-year-old debut, Negligee finished a disappointing seventh in the grade I Ashland on the Keeneland Polytrack. That was the site of her biggest win, which came in the Darley Alcibiades (gr. I) last October as a juvenile. John Terranova trains Negligee, who was bred in Kentucky by Twin Creeks Farm and is out of the Relaunch mare Naughty Notions.
Brereton Jones' Check the Label will carry top weight of 121 pounds. The Stormin Fever filly enters off a victory in the Appalachian Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Keeneland, her first graded stakes score. All three of Check the Label's career wins have come on firm turf, which is the likely footing for the Sands Point since there is little rain in the forecast for the holiday weekend. Ramon Dominguez will ride the bay filly for the first time for Graham Motion.
Mary and Chester Broman's Khancord Kid exits off a tiring fifth-place effort in the May 14 Black-Eyed Susan (gr. II) on the Pimlico dirt, but goes back to her preferred surface in the Sands Point. Two starts ago in the grade III Herecomesthebride Stakes on the Gulfstream Park turf, the daughter of Lemon Drop Kid pulled off an 8-1 front-running upset win in her graded stakes debut. Regular rider Rajiv Maragh will keep the mount for John Kimmel.
The other five starters will be making their graded stakes debuts, including Ultimate Class, Strike It Rich, Hit It Rich, and Crescenda, who all enter off allowance wins. More Is Better broke her maiden last out on the Belmont turf.

County Cork Things to Do
St Finbar's Cathedral
In a country like Ireland, you would expect he most splendid church building to be Catholic. However, the Gothic Revival period – one of the most chraracteristic in British history – coincided with a period of British dominance (not to say opression). That left some late 19th and early 20th century Protestant churches in Ireland. Cork Cathedral...more
Old Head of Kinsale
This is one of my favourite places in County Cork, this windswept rocky promontory reaching out into the ocean. There is a lighthouse at the end of it but you can't get to it - the road ends with a gate a long time before it and a fence on both sides tells you in no uncertain terms you won't be welcome there. Unless... unless you join the exclusive...more
St. Colman's Cathedral
The Cathedral has its roots in the diocese of Cloyne which was moved to Cobh in 1769. At this time, the repression on the Catholic church was still subject to repressions and it was not until the 19th century when Cobh had the legal and financial possibilities to build an adequate Cathedral. Consturction started in 1867 but was not completed until...more
Blarney Castle
Southwest Ireland is considered one of the most visited regions in Ireland, and anyone passing through there can understand why. This is thanks to the extraordinary combination of monuments, quiet roads, lively pubs, and most important: bike-friendly paths I decided to dedicate this post on our trip out to Cork, the "Gateway City." Cork is...more
The Scilly Walk
This fairytale yellow cottage is about halfway between Summercove and Kinsale and everybody always stops to take photographs. In summer the hollyhocks grow almost to the roof. I often wonder about the family who live here and if they object to people taking photographs but I've never seen any of them. Occasionally an old fat laborador dog comes out...more
The Queenstown Story
Cobh, named Queenstown between , has been long associated with the age of ocean steamliners and the Irish emigration of the late 19th and early 20th century. It was in this time that the city was named Queenstown after becoming the first Irish town to be visited by Queen Victoria. Therefore, Cobh's history comes back to life in an exhibition called...more
Shopping / Streets / Areas
I forgot all about the English Market until we came upon it wandering around and regrettably we had already had lunch. But I did stop and get a few chocolates from the Chocolate Shop which purchases their supply from different European chocolatiers. The English Market has been in business since 1788 and claims to be the oldest market of it's kind....more
Town centre
The centre of Kinsale is lovely - its winding narrow lanes are pure bliss for the eyes - I have never seen so many colourful houses anywhere, and all of them matching their neighbours. I wonder if Kinsale has an architect or an artist whose task it is to coordinate the decorating. In addition to the colourful walls, there are floral decorations on...more
The Lusitania Memorial
Although the Titanic drives more tourists to the sights of Cobh, the sinking of the Lusitania (1915) has deeper roots in the citiys memory. When the Ocean Liner was sunk by a German submarine off the Irish coasts, local fishermen helped to save survivors and later helped to get the deceased ashore as well. The hotspot that day was the Cunard Line...more
Cork City Gaol
Poverty-related crime in 19th century Ireland became a key issue in the counry's history and is well explained in the former City Gaol. The history of the prison and the building complex is put into the bigger context. Cork's City Gol was opened in 1824 and was expanded and altered several times. The prison is built in a way, allowing guards to...more
James' Fort
James Fort was constructed between 1601 and 1603. It is a pentagonal shaped fort with a covered walkway leading to the fort. This fort was the harbours main defence until the construction of Charles Fort across the way. It is within walking distance of the town of Kinsale, and you will get wonderful views along the way, and from the fort!more
Heritage Centre
If your an American of Irish descent visiting Cobh, you are probably here to see where your family departed from Ireland. I am of Irish descent, but my family immigrated from the port in Dublin. My partner Mark's family immigrated from Cobh. So seeing the harbor and the port was fascinating for him. The museum here at the Heritage Center is an...more
A lovely day trip to the colorful harbour city of Kinsale is a must do. It is only a 40 minutes bus trip from Cork city (25km). Kinsale is a pleasure for gourmet but not only... a walk around the city will give interesting views on the harbour and the colorful houses. After your walk many traditional pubs will welcome you for a refreshing and...more
Kinsale Harbour
We went sailing with the guys in Sovereign Sailing down at the Trident Hotel Marina. I had never sailed before but they took 4 of us out on a new 34ft sailing yacht. It was Fantastic. They gave us all the sailing gear and safety jackets then as soon as we left the marina I was given the wheel. What an exeperience!! While the girls enjoyed the views...more
The Titanic Memorial
Though the sinking of the Lusitania evokes more memories in the history of Cobh, the sinking of the Titanic is also associated with this harbour town. Cobh (then Queenstown) was the last port of call for the infamous ocean liner on April 11th 1912. From the 123 people who embarked in Cobh (almost all of them third calss passengers) only 44...more
Hugenot Quarter
A nice area of Cork which is known for its cafés, bookshops and an alternative style of life. However, you will quickly notice that it is also pretty small, comprising only the three pedestrianised streets between Paul Street and St. Patrick's street. Nice to walk through and to have a coffee, but don't expect too much. Especially if you are...more
Wine Musuem
Desmond Castle was built around 1500 by Maurice Bacach Fitzgerald, Earl of Desmond. A hundred years later it was used as an arsenal by Don Juan Aguilla during the Spanish occupation of the town which lasted for 100 days before the Battle of Kinsale. In the 17th century the castle became known as the 'French prison' as it was here and in the huts...more
Fota Island
Fota Island is a 780 acre island that is just outside of the island that Cobh is on in Cork Harbour. There is a golf course and golf club where you can get a light lunch. They also have a great wildlife preserve, rose gardens, an arboretum and a Georgian era house to be explored. Paths follow along the enclosures. Most of the enclosures are open...more
Fitzgeralds Park
It was a brillant day out for me and my friends because there was this very nice man who showed me around and told me about differnt things around the park . For my firends and I we loved it we got some really nice pictures . this park is kept very clean and tidy. If you want some nice pictures along side the River Lee this is the place to go even...more
Chairmans Lane.
Probably the most colourful of Kinsale's pretty streets, Chairmans Lane runs down towards the harbour directly opposite Desmond Castle. Anecdotes abound about the 'whys' and 'wherefores' of the name of the lane, so please have a read of the blog by Celly O'Brien, owner of the "Giants Cottage",...more
St Ann's Church
St. Anne's Church was first mentioned in 1199, but surely much older. However, the present building barely dates from 1772. The bells of St. Anne's Church have been immortalized in a poem. Today's bells are unfortunately not the original anymore, they had to be recast in 1865 and 1906. The clock is called the "Four-faced liar" because usually all...more
Harbour Tour by Boat
A great way to see the harbour, also the town and Charles Fort from a different angle. Nice traditional music, interesting commentry, coffee and bar service available. The trip lasts for 55 minutes and goes right to the mouth of the harbour and a little way up the Bandon River. Adults EUR 12; Children EUR 5; Family of four EUR 28. Jerome, the...more
Next to Blarney, a trip to Cobh is the other popular day trip destination from Cobh. This cute town has been Corks gateway to the sea - as well as the gateway to the world to svereal millions of Irish emigrants. The city has an emphasis of two ship disasters which were linked to it: The sinking of the Titanic and the sinking of the Lusitania. That...more
St Multose Church
Dating back to 1190, St Multose Church is the oldest building in Kinsale and has been in continuous use all this time. Its appearance has been considerably changed since then, some of the original features being kept though. I didn't have much time to have a good look inside as a concert was starting soon. Still, I did notice the interesting wooden...more
Blackrock Castle
No mediaeval town could do without a fortified castle and Cork was no different. Cork's Blackrock Castle is located where the River Lee flows into Lough Mahon. Built for defensive purposes, to protect the town from pirates and other possible invaders, the castle had a round tower added to it in 1600 by the Elizabethan government at the request of...more
Leaving Charles Fort via the drawbridge, pause to look at the three plaques in Irish, English and Spanish unveiled in 2001, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Battle of Kinsale. This spot high on the hill is obviously a great place for first impression photos of Kinsale, lying tantalisingly off in the distance. Going down the steep hill...more
Off the beaten track
A nice neogothic church which stands out by the use of red sandstone as a building material. Construction started in 1851, severe storms damaged the construction site in 1853 so that the church was not consecrated until 1856. The church is located on a rock spur and has an unusual heights to with ration, which allowed the installation of high...more
Charles' Fort
Even though it was raining I enjoyed my visit to the fort and the walk to it from the centre of Kinsale. It is run by the OPW and it is 3 Euro 70 to enter. The best thing about our visit was the free tour given by a well informed and friendly guide. I think tours are run regularly, our tour set off at 11am.more
University of Cork
Of all the University campuses I have visited in Ireland UCC has to come out in the top two. Trinity College Dublin is magnificent and probably tips ahead of UCC, but the sense of serenity and space present in the Cork's university campus is unequalled elsewhere. Someone also had the clever idea of putting the very large lecture halls underground...more
Tourist Office
If you lack the stamina for all of the above or have a short amount of time then I would recommend the one-hour 'Historic Stroll in Old Kinsale' which leaves the tourist office at 11.15 every morning. Cost is EUR 6 for adults and EUR 1 for children.more
Information on the city
Bishop Lucey park is right in the centre of the city. It's a perfect place to sit and recharge your batteries while sightseeing and somewhere people come to at lunchtime to eat their sandwiches or just get some fresh air. At the back of the park there is a very pleasant fountain. Around this fountain there are seats and this is someplace I always...more
One of Cork's top addresses for food and a real experience: The English Market is the place where you get fresh vegetables, meat, fish, cheese and many more. Coffee stalls and bakeries round it up. There has been a market on that spot since 1788, but the current building was erected in the mid-19th century. Though the building was damaged by fire...more
Cork Opera House
Saturday night, after our meal at Market Lane Restaurant, we followed Katherine (Ekaterinburg) into the cold and rain. Winding across town, we arrived outside Cork Opera House! I wasn't quite sure why we'd come here at first-it was a bit late for watching a performance! but Katherine had realised that this would be a good place to enjoy a drink and...more
The Old Midleton Distillery
This distillery houses one of the three Irish Whiskey Visitor Centres where the making of Jameson's and other Irish whiskeys is explained. There are very interesting daily tours, and the whiskey tasting session afterwards is very interesting as well... ;-) Opening times: 10.00-18.00 hrsmore
Shandon Tower
Though not as vibrant as the city centre, the area of Shandon has its quiet charm. Situated on a hill overlooking the River Lee, it sometimes opens onto the city centre as you walk along its narrow sloping streets lined with colourful little houses. There is no better place if you want to get the feel of old Cork. Shandon, whose name derives from...more
Macroom Castle
Sight seeing is one thing you should really do. I visited The Macroom Castle. It still has it's construction well built. It has a great guided tour throught out the castle. The Macroom Castle is one of most popular castle by the locals in Macroom (inside Cork).The castle in the town was the scene of many a siege, particularly in the 16th and 17...more
Crawford Art Gallery
The Crawford Municipal Art Gallery is the venue of permanent and temporary art exhibitions. Their permanent collection includes paintings by Irish and international artists from the 17th century to the present day. Admission is free. Disabled access.more
Going to the dogs is the Cork way of describing a night at the Greyhound track at Curaheen Stadium. Greyhound racing is really popular in Ireland with major tracks accsessible from most locations. In Cork 'A Night at the Dogs' consists of betting on all or any of 10 races, having a drink and something to eat. Catering consists of full sitown meals...more
Art gallery
The Glucksman, Cork's newest Art Gallery has already in its short lifetime won many architectural awards. Though extremely modernist in design it blends seamlessly with its more mature companions on the UCC campus. Inside, windows jut right out into the surrounding trees, and visitors enjoy the space almost as much as the artworks. Exhibitions tend...more
When going around the Ring of Beara, it is a nice idea to visit Dzogchen Beara which is Buddhist Retreat Centre. Many retreats take place there, but it is a lovely place to just visit in passing. There is a nice coffee shop and a shop where you can buy all sorts of books and items on Buddhism and spirituality in general. The actual place is lying...more
Skibbereen Walking Group
Every second Sunday a group of people joint to walk around the West Cork country side. Newcomers are very welcome. I have found it a great way to see more of the beautiful landscape and make friends at the same time. It is a lovely way to get to know West Corks highways and byways, of which there are many. The walks usually take about 2 to 3 hours,...more
This was our last stop before heading back for Cork. The place looked really pretty with its colourful houses lining the streets but we only had enough time to take a few pictures and have a snack at a local restaurant. If you wanted to learn about its past, which strongly reflects Ireland's history from pre-Christian period to the present, you...more
The island of my dreams
The beauty of Cape Clear Island cannot be described in words, except by a poet. There is something so romantic in the rugged coastline, the hills covered with heather, gorse and wild flowers and the blue of the omnipresent ocean appearing at every turn you take. It's a heaven for hikers, birdwatchers, scuba divers, anglers, windsurfers, canoeists...more
Boat trip to Cape Clear Island
The boat trip to Cape Clear Island was for me the nicest part of our day trip. Roaringwater Bay is not named this for no reason. The boat was rolling and it was hard to keep your balance without holding on to something. At one moment I got up to get a better view of one of the islands we were passing and instantly almost sat down on the lap of an...more
Schull (pronounced like 'skull') is situated on the Roaringwater Bay of the Atlantic and commands a great view of the sea and the marina. It's a very pretty place with colourful houses and hotels gathered along the coast and with many palms and exotic plants reminiscent of the Mediterranean. If you didn't want to go on the boat trip you could stay...more

Early Modern Nordic Art Loaned to Scandinavia House
Luminous Modernism: Scandinavian Art Comes to America, 1912, an international loan exhibition of paintings by Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Anders Zorn, and other Scandinavian pioneers of modernism at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America. The exhibition, which remains on view through February 11, 2012, brings together approximately 50 works by leading late 19th- and early 20th-century Nordic artists from more than 20 public and private collections in Europe and America.
The final of three exhibitions presented by The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) in recognition of its centennial, Luminous Modernism revisits the landmark ASF-sponsored exhibition of 1912-a ground-breaking display of contemporary Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish painting that gave many in this country, including emerging modern artists, their first introduction to Scandinavian art.
While Luminous Modernism features 20 of the same artists and 8 of the same works presented in the 1912 exhibition, it has been expanded in scope to encompass all five Nordic countries, including Finland and Iceland, illustrating the richness of artistic expression throughout the region during this period. Ranging from the visionary landscapes of Munch, Harald Sohlberg, and Akseli Gallen-Kallela, to the intimate domestic interiors of Hammershøi and Harriet Backer, to depictions of rural life by Carl Larsson and Lauritz Andersen Ring, the exhibition reveals the varied and original ways Scandinavian artists responded to modernist innovations at home and abroad.
Luminous Modernism has been organized by the ASF in collaboration with an international team of scholars headed by Patricia G. Berman, Professor of Art History at Wellesley College and the University of Oslo. A leading specialist in early modern Scandinavian art, Dr. Berman is the author of numerous important scholarly publications in the field. She worked closely with the late Kirk Varnedoe on the memorable exhibition Northern Light: Realism and Symbolism in Scandinavian Painting, 1880-1910, which toured the United States in 1982-83.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- It is well documented that police officers have a higher risk of developing heart disease: The question is why.
In the most recent results coming out of one of the few long-term studies being conducted within this tightly knit society, University at Buffalo researchers have determined that underlying the higher incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis -- arterial thickening that precedes a heart attack or stroke -- may be the stress of police work.
"We took lifestyle factors that generally are associated with atherosclerosis, such as exercise, smoking, diet, etc., into account in our comparison between citizens and the police officers," said John Violanti, Ph.D., UB associate professor of social and preventive medicine, who has been studying the police force in Buffalo, N.Y., for 10 years.
"These lifestyle factors were statistically controlled for in the analysis. This led to the conclusion that it is not the 'usual' heart-disease-related risk factors that increase the risk in police officers. It is something else. We believe that 'something else' is the occupation of policing."
Results of the study appear in the June issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Violanti and colleagues have been studying the role of cortisol, known as the "stress hormone," in these police officers to determine if stress is associated with physiological risk factors that can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
In a study accepted for publication in Psychiatry Research that looked at the male-female differences in stress and signs of heart disease, Violanti found that female police officers had higher levels of cortisol when they awoke, and the levels remained high throughout the day. Cortisol normally is highest in the morning and decreases to its lowest point in the evening. The constantly high cortisol levels were associated with less arterial elasticit

I love Dashboard (like I had to tell you that), but for a while now it has been a bit ignored. Especially recently—there's no place for widgets in the Mac App Store, and because of that it looks like there will be no iCloud support for widgets. So I decided it was time to at least start learning how to make a full Mac app, so I have more options.
It's shocking how completely different similar frameworks are in Cocoa compared to Cocoa Touch. Lion's view-based tables helped a lot here, but even if you go Lion-only there are major differences.
Right now I'm trying to come up with some custom window buttons that communicate clearly but aren't too obtrusive. I think I'm fairly happy with these.
I considered getting rid of the non-essential buttons (minimize and zoom), or even moving them, but I think keeping them in this configuration is important in making it clear what they do. Especially since I'll also have a larger plus icon (without a circle) in the bottom corner, for adding a new note.

A handsome, sharp-featured actor who has played everything from action baddies to charming romantic comedy leads, Australian actor Richard Roxburgh became a familiar face to international audiences thanks to roles in such high-profile Hollywood features as Moulin Rouge and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Born the youngest of six siblings in Albury, Australia, Roxburgh's interest in acting wasn't sparked until he became somewhat disillusioned with studying economics (his father was a successful accountant) at A.N.U. in Canberra. An interest in acting prompted the young Roxburgh to enroll in Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Arts, though it wasn't a successful film career to which he aspired, but one in the theater. He gained a reputation as a talented actor and stage director capable of both classic and contemporary work, and soon found his star rising in Europe as well. The actor had an early supporting role in the made-for-TV feature The Saint: Fear in Fun Park, which showed the stage-oriented actor possessing remarkable onscreen charisma.
Though he continued to work on-stage, Roxburgh also began making appearances in television miniseries, and grew increasingly comfortable in front of the cameras. After more supporting roles in such features as Billy's Holiday (1995) and Children of the Revolution (1996), Roxburgh landed his first feature lead in the country & western-themed road movie Doing Time for Patsy Cline (1997) -- a role that earned the rising star an AFI award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. That same year, he charmed Australian audiences opposite Cate Blanchett in the romantic comedy Thank God He Met Lizzie as a reluctant groom whose fantasies about an ex-girlfriend threaten to sour his wedding day. Though Roxburgh's onscreen exposure, to this point, had been limited mostly to European audiences, all of that changed in the early 2000s. Cast as the villainous henchman in John Woo's high-profile sequel Mission: Impossible II, Roxburgh made quite an impression despite his limited screen time. The following year, he made even more of an impact on international audiences thanks to a role as the sniveling Duke of Worcester in Baz Luhrmann's breakout musical hit Moulin Rouge. Roxburgh's later role as legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes in 2002's The Hound of the Baskervilles courted controversy by depicting Holmes as a drug addict, and, in 2003, he suited up to fight crime once again in the comic book adaptation The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Roxburgh played another famous character -- Count Dracula -- in the eagerly anticipated horror feature Van Helsing in 2004.

September 20, 1997 in Nation/World
Abdul-Jabbar Helps Pitch Academic Competitiveness Black Leaders Discuss Need To Set High Standards For Kids
Although he has six Most Valuable Player awards and 17 All-Star games under his belt, basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says black youths today need to strive for academic - not just athletic - success.
"Because the expectation of achievement is on white kids, black kids come to think of themselves as expendable, useful only as athletes or entertainers," Abdul-Jabbar said Friday. "They don't hear about the black man working on Wall Street. They don't know that's an avenue of success wide open to them."
Abdul-Jabbar joined a group of black educators and advocates on a taping of "America's Black Forum" to discuss the gaps in academic performance between black students and white students and ways to narrow the margin.
"It's not a matter of genes. It's a matter of agenda," said Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mfume said preparation needs to begin even before children enter the classroom.
Although panelists pointed out disparities in income and access to education, some said the problem stems from an acceptance of lower standards. Shelby Steele, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, said expectations for black students must be set high and should not be lowered through programs such as affirmative action.
"A preference is an institutionalization of a low expectation. Look what it does to the dignity of the black community," Steele said.
Educators said a broad approach, with parents and community involved in the educational process, would give black students a more solid footing.
"To expect a teacher to be a surrogate for all that ails us is unrealistic," Howard University President H. Patrick Swygert said.
The one-hour special will air during October and November in various cities nationwide.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown Across From Circle Centre
Great hotel
If you are looking for a hotel with a 1st class staff and lodging this is it. Never disappoint. Staff is top of the line. Know answers to questions and always willing to help. Valet staff is 1st class. If you need somewhere to stay downtown this is it!
Great location, great staff
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was very spacious with wonderful high ceilings. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. The location was perfect for anything you might want to do in downtown Indianapolis.
Good Hotel
Two night stay October 26-28, 2005. Easy to get to, extremely friendly staff. Car was always waiting after phone call to valet. Rooms are well appointed and very clean. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
My buddy and I stayed at the Hampton Inn on 12/18-12/20. We were in town for Ravens vs Colts. While the game result was less than desirable, the hotel certainly wasn't. It's centrally located within easy walking distance of many bars, restaraunts, Conseco Field House and RCA Dome. The hotel staff was extremely helpful. In turn, the room was kept clean. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling for business or pleasure.
Great Hotel
I stay at this hotel every time I travel to Indianapolis. Location is convenient. rooms are clean and have high speed internet for free, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for business or pleasure.
Nice clean hotel
Compared to the Omni Severin, the Hampton is wonderful. The hotel is clean, convienent, and close to all the downtown attractions. Wonderful people and very nice to stay. Breakfast was good, and coffee service is good. I will stay here again.
Wonderful location
I stayed here with my friends for a girls night out. It was a nice hotel. It was a little pricey but clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good.
An A++++ to the Staff!!!
What a wonderful place to spend ANY evening. The staff from the manager to the valet could not have been any nicer! Everyone bent over backwards to accomodate our every need.
An A++++ recommendation.
Appreciate the staff at the Hampton Downtown
We were only able to stay one night at the Hampton but were overwhelmingly pleased not only with the facilities, but also with the friendly and courteous staff who went out of there way to be helpful. We would positively stay there again.
Great Place, friendly and good continental breakfast
This is a well kept up older hotel in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. I have no complaints with this hotel. The room was HUGE and VERY VERY clean! They had a coffee pot in the rooms with complimentary free coffee. A blow dryer, iron and ironing board in each room. They have free complimentary continental breakfast which included bagels, toast, muffins, boiled eggs, biscuits, milk gravy, oatmeal, fruits, cereals, coffee, tea, cocoa. The breakfast was excellant. The staff was very friendly. I will stay in this hotel again when on business in Indy.

South Park offends, repulses, and disgusts many television viewers. To those people, I quote the great Eric Cartman: "Screw you guys." To celebrate
American Idol's 13 finalists South Park's 13th season (which begins tomorrow night), we've compiled our favorite baker's dozen episodes. Don't agree with the list? Read the above Eric Cartman quote. (give the clips a few seconds to load.)
Hey--any chance to make fun of Jennifer Lopez AND have Cartman give Ben Affleck an HJ is okay with me. Taco-flavored kisses for my Ben!
12. Towelie(season 5)
"Don't forget to bring a towel!" "Wanna get high?" "I'm so high, I don't even know what's going on." Irresponsible? Probably. Hilarious? Absolutely.
11. Woodland Critter Christmas(season 8)
Furry little forest creatures who just happen to worship Satan? Adorable!
10. Major Boobage(season 12)
No one looked at their cat the same way after watching this Heavy Metal parody. Kenny uses cat pee to trip away to every kid's dream: a land of fantasy and large breasts.
9. Up the Down Steroid(season 8)
Jimmy turns to steroids to win the Special Olympics, but beats up his girlfriend in a fit or 'roid rage. Cartman pretends to be "special" to win the $1,000 cash prize. Priceless. Morally bankrupt, offensive on all fronts, and revolting, but priceless.
Let's move on to numbers 8 through 5!
8. AWESOM-O(season 8)
Cartman pretends to be Butters' robot friend in order to keep a secret safe, but ends up under a cardboard box for much longer than he hoped. In the end, he pitches ideas for Adam Sandler movies and almost gets molested by a Hollywood executive.
7. Casa Bonita(season 7)
Cliff diving! A cave with pirate treasure! A puppet show! Mariachis! Sopapillas! Juvenile Hall! What makes this episode even better is Casa Bonita is real.
6. Le Petit Tourette(season 11)
Cartman discovers Tourette's syndrome, and sees it as a way to curse whenever he wants. Then the s*** hits the fan.
5. Best Friends Forever(season 9)
My PSP is merely a paperweight now, but Kenny's turns out to be a weapon of God. Trey and Matt tackle the Terry Schiavo case in this episode, with Kenny turning into a vegetable and saving the world once the plug is pulled on his life-support machines.
And now for the final four!
4. Imaginationland(season 11)
Care Bears versus the orcs from Lord of the Rings! Strawberry Shortcake versus the Woodland Critters! It's good versus evil in this three-episode epic. But the best part? The goofy song one must sing to get to Imaginationland.
3. Good Times with Weapons(season 8)
When the boys find some martial arts weapons, they turn into anime-style ninjas. But of course Butters takes the brunt of the damage by getting a ninja star in the eye, dog pee on his arms, and puppy poop all over.
2. Make Love, Not Warcraft(season 10)
Trey and Matt go after online gaming in this episode, which features in-game graphics and leet speak from World of Warcraft, one of the greatest dangers to a functional society.
1. Scott Tenorman Must Die(season 5)
After purchasing pubic hair from a ninth grader to enter manhood, Cartman's best revenge ever involves a fellating horse, a chili cook-off, and Radiohead. The tears taste soooooooo good.
South Park's 13th season premieres tomorrow night on Comedy Central at 10 p.m.
