Results of the study were published in the online journal PLOS Currents: Outbreaks.
Dr. Khan, an infectious disease physician, is the founder of BioDiaspora, a web-based technology that uses global air traffic patterns to predict the international spread of infectious disease. The BioDiaspora platform has been used by numerous international agencies, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organization to evaluate emerging infectious disease threats, including those during global mass gatherings such as the Olympics and the hajj.
"With millions of foreign pilgrims set to congregate in Mecca and Medina between Ramadan and the hajj, pilgrims could acquire and subsequently return to their home countries with MERS, either through direct exposure to the as-of-yet unidentified source or through contact with domestic pilgrims who may be infected," he said.
Dr. Khan's team found that of the 16.8 million travelers who flew on commercial flights out of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates between June and November 2012 (the period starting one month before Ramadan and ending one month after the hajj) 51.6 per cent had destinations in just eight countries: India (16.3 per cent), Egypt (10.4 per cent), Pakistan (7.8 per cent), Britain (4.3 per cent), Kuwait (3.6 per cent), Bangladesh (3.1 per cent), Iran (3.1 per cent) and Bahrain (2.9 per cent).
Twelve cities--Cairo, Kuwait City, London, Bahrain, Beirut, Mumbai, Dhaka, Karachi, Manila, Kozhikode (India), Istanbul and Jakarta--each received more than 350,000 commercial air travelers between June and November 2012 from the four countries where MERS cases have

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 2/6/13
One year later, we have the sequel: Major League Baseball vs. Ryan Braun, Part II. Days before the start of spring training, MLB drug sleuths have a fresh opportunity to pursue allegations of performance-enhancing drug use against Braun. That is the biggest takeaway from Tuesday night's Yahoo! Sports report, which said Braun's name appeared in records of the Biogenesis clinic at the center of the recent South Florida steroids scandal. Braun's successful appeal of a failed test for elevated testosterone from October 2011 represents the most public defeat of the MLB drug program. In the aftermath of the decision by arbitrator Shyam Das last Feb. 23, MLB issued a statement saying it "vehemently" disagreed with Das' ruling. MLB vice president Rob Manfred publicly took issue with Braun's assertion that baseball's testing program was "fatally flawed." Months later, MLB fired Das. So, it would appear that a number of important people at the commissioner's office believe a guilty man ska...

27 year old woman | Richmond, CA, USA | Seeking men 26-29 within 50 miles
The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters." ― Audrey Hepburn
Hi, my name is Shirlee. I just moved back to the bay area after having lived in Israel for 7 years and serving in the IDF. I am a bit of a party girl, like going out and having fun but Im more the bar type of girl rather than big clubs, but am dedicated to furthering myself in life at the same time. Just began studying again, double majoring in Business and Psychology. I love the outdoors, backpacking, hiking, camping and such. I'm not afraid of getting dirty and having fun. When I have a weekend off I try to get out to nature, either backpacking or hiking close by, and I always take my best friend with me (my 2 year old puppy-dog). I love to hang out and have fun, laughing is definately the remedy for everything bad in life. Looking for someone who can share my craziness be spontanious, and drive in life to succeed. Someone who shares my love to get out and try new things, loves the outdoors, and can just have fun. Im NOT looking for someone who is over the age of 30 so please dont message me if you are.

I have a beautiful two year old puppy-dog..He hasnt quite understood that hes not so small anymore.

Worth a closer look
My friends and family describe me as a down-to-earth, even-keeled, sporty guy who is known for my fun-loving sarcasm. While some tell me that I come off as quiet at first and, yes it's true that I'm not a fan of asking girls out in bars, I value my relationships immensely and my friends are almost always my friends for life. I also feel super lucky to have a supportive family that I am very close with – my folks live in New York, older brother (father of my adorable niece and nephew) lives in Maine, and twin sister lives in San Francisco. Growing up with a twin sister as one of my best friends has hopefully taught me something about living with the opposite sex ?. While I was born in the Boston area, my family moved to the Bay Area when I was 16, so I now love both coasts. After five years in the Midwest for grad school and work, I am now thrilled to be back in San Francisco. I currently work for a business consulting firm. My favorite trips over the past few years have been hiking in Patagonia, exploring Petra, and lobster fishing in Belize. I'm looking for a kind-hearted, intelligent woman who likes to travel and explore new places and who can make me smile and keep me on my toes.

Old English fleogende "flying, winged," present participle of fly (v.1). Flying buttress is from 1660s; flying fish is from 1510s. Flying saucer first attested 1947, though the image of saucers for unidentified flying objects is from at least 1880s. Flying Dutchman, ghost ship off the Cape of Good Hope, attested since 1803 [John Leyden, "Scenes of Infancy," who describes it as "a common superstition of mariners"]. Flying colors (1706) probably is from the image of a naval vessel with the national flag bravely displayed.
Useless; worthless •Used to emphasize terms meaning ''something of little value,'' all probably variations and euphemisms of a flying fuck (1940s+)

It's just not worth it if you don't laugh together...
You know when you decide for yourself that you really want to be with someone. And you know it's what you want, because you find yourself thinking of them constantly. You picture them in your mind and you look forward to being near them for all the right reasons. Reasons that are right to you, because you know you've finally found what you've alway been searching for. And then suddenly, you realize just how readily you are to make time for this special person you are now connecting so strongly with. And how the world seems brighter and more fulfilling because they are in your life. Well, that is what I'm looking to find in a partner. Basicly I want to find a woman that is comforable in any situation. Someone who likes to dress up but doesn't mind running around in sweats and a ponytail. Who could hold a conversation with the President of my company or a homeless guy while serving food at a shelter. I also love the idea of having a little girl one day. Ive always liked the thought of having daddy's little girl to spoil ;). But most importantly, I want someone who makes me laugh. It's just not worth it if you don't laugh together!!! I'm someone with a pretty diverse interests. I am just as happy to go snowboarding, shark diving, or even to the Smith Center to see wicked. I love to joke around, and the perfect evening for me is to just sit at home, cook a nice dinner together, open a nice bottle of wine, and sit at the table listening to how each others day went. Not enough people do that anymore and relationships are the worse for it. Growing up my parents would always watch all these old movies set in the 30's and 40's where the families would make an event out of every meal (dressing up for them and lighting the candles) at the time I hated having to watch them. As I've gotten older and maybe little more nostalgic I tend to love the idea of that.

If its winter you will definitely find me on a mountain somewhere snowboarding, and of course, summers were made for the beach!
Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, Baton Rouge, LA
Snowboarding, scuba diving, bowling, going out to dinner, staying home and cooking. Although, truth be told, I'm not a very good distance runner, I would love to run in the Great Wall of China Marathon on of these days....
I guess it all depends on what's s happening that week. Some times I just want to sit at home, cook a nice meal and watch a movie. But I also like to go to wine tastings.I also enjoy checking out different bands playing in town.
I love to read but I stay pretty busy so I usually listen to audio books instead. I'll download them and listen to them while working out. I go through about four or five a month. I just got done listening to "To Catch a Spider" by James Patterson.

The project could improve traffic on Wolf Road, which features a number of commercial buildings that generate a high volume of cars, Van Keuren said.
Doug Myers, a spokesman for Albany International Airport, said airport officials have been pushing for better access to the airport for years and quipped that if there was an exit three, "you'd already be on the Northway."
John O'Donnell, chief executive officer of the Albany County Airport Authority and a civil engineer, said he is aware that DOT is interested in a bridge replacement for exit four sometime down the road, but is hopeful that a larger commitment could be made.
"We would like to see a much greater investment in that intersection," he said.
O'Donnell said other options are being discussed by DOT, such as a single point urban interchange, or SPUI, that would increase traffic flow at exit four without creating a new exit, but that alternative is not a first choice.
"You can move a large amount of cars through at one time," he said of a SPUI.
While a SPUI is something being considered by DOT O'Donnell said he would consider that a compromise. And prefers a full-on construction of an exit south of exit four.
The construction to exit six, just north of the airport is a SPUI, and O'Donnell said DOT will have the benefit of gauging its success before moving forward with this project.
O'Donnell said his biggest concerns are traffic flow and easy access to the airport, which could be confusing for people who do not know the area well.
He said with the growth of Latham, Colonie and Tech Valley, and with contributors like Global Foundries, the region is expected to rapidly grow in population and traffic, and any construction to the bridge over I-87 or a new exit should reflect that possibility.

On Islamic banking
• Stakeholders should have an open mind as they further engage
In the last two years, the myriad of reform policies initiated by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, have come to acquire a life of its own. The clamour for more far-reaching reforms in the banking sector has continued unabated. One of the raging issues at the moment is the planned introduction of an Islamic banking model into the Nigerian financial landscape, which has naturally raised apprehensions.
Given the nation's secularity, we perfectly understand the basis of the apprehensions and here, we must say it is tempting to dismiss the model off-hand on the grounds of pandering to one of the nation's dominant religions, Islam. Because religious matters have great potentials for divisiveness, there are those who would argue that the CBN had better things to dwell upon than get involved in the Islamic banking controversy at this point in time. Moreover, not a few have raised the question of whether the Islamic banking model would not be in grave violation of the nation's secular status.
Valid as these apprehensions appear to be, some of the concerns that have been expressed seem to us as entirely misplaced. To start with, we agree that the CBN has done a rather poor job of informing Nigerians about the whole essence of the Islamic banking model in terms of what it is and what is not. And, doubtless, the tag "Islamic banking" has only helped stoked fires of mutual distrust in our peculiarly religion-sensitive environment.
But that can hardly justify the clamour to throw away the baby with the bathwater.
The truth is- the model does not pretend to be anything other than an alternative model to the current conventional banking model. Aptly described as non-interest banking, it is what it claims to be – non-usurious. Its selling point is profit and risk sharing – as against the extortionate usury. Its great merit lies in its ensuring that both lender and borrower not only share joint responsibility in the transaction chain but also in the dividends. If there is anything" religious" in the model, it is only reason of its deep roots in the two leading religions of Christianity and Islam –both known to be averse to the usury.
What is even more important is that the model does not seek to displace the conventional model, but is rather an addition to the league of financial service providers to which citizens can choose from. It certainly offers great potentials for competition and further diversification of banking products and services. While we can understand the natural aversion to change, the fixation with the conventional model to the exclusion of other models even when their merits are unassailable, and in spite of its great appeal to a sizeable segment of the population seems, clearly, unreasonable.
As for the argument that Islamic banking is in conflict with the nation's constitution, we find nothing in the provisions precluding the apex bank from setting out guidelines for the model or indeed any other model for that matter. Indeed, the development is in tandem with the quest to further liberalise the financial services landscape. The CBN should consider removing its religious colouration while putting in place also, safegaurds against any form of discrimination.
Of course, we agree that the apex bank may not have demonstrated enough sensitivity on the matter by its approach. For something as sensitive and novel (at least in these parts), we would have expected it to have embarked on wider consultations with relevant stakeholders. As it is, not many Nigerians – and this includes those clamouring for the model – can claim with any measure of confidence, sufficient knowledge of its modus operandi let alone its famed advantages over the conventional model. This is why we encourage relevant stakeholders to have an open mind as they further engage on the issue.

How do i find new Active Directory accounts that have been made in the last 90 days?
does anyone know who to do this? I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance.
For posterity, dsquery is designed for this kind of search. AD does keep a 'whenCreated' field, which makes it easy to search with your tool of choice.
dsquery * -filter "(whenCreated>=20101022083730.0Z)"
As an example. You can programatically create the timestring based on now - 90days.
Using PowerShell and the Quest ActiveRoles Tools for AD (found here - http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx) ,
will give you output to the console or wherever you redirect of all users created in the last 90 days.
Try the following to pull users created in the last 30 days.
You can do this pretty easily with
Here's an opposite but related problem
Here's an example from another site of someone retrieving all AD accounts sorted by creation date:
You can get the creation date for each account from Active Directory. Every AD object has a WhenCreated and WhenChanged attribute. You can dump these attributes into a flat file using the LDIFDE utility, or you can dump them into a comma-delimited file using CSVDE (both utilities come with Windows 2000).
Here's the syntax to dump the two attributes for the user objects in an OU called Phoenix in a domain called Company.com to the console for viewing (the entire entry should typed as a single line):
ldifde -d ou=phoenix,dc=company,dc=com -l whencreated, whenchanged -p onelevel -r "(ObjectCategory=user)" -f con
If you wanted to save the dump to a file, change the -f switch from con to a file name.
The last logon timestamp uses this format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, with the hour shown in Universal Coordinated Time. A time stamp of 20040115182937.0Z corresponds to Jan 15 2004 18:29:37 UCT.
USRSTAT is slow, and the report you get has to be merged with the LDIFDE dump. So, I put together a script that searches for user objects at each domain controller, then lists the local logon time and the creation time. The user logon timestamp requires conversion from a long integer. I borrowed the conversion code comes from Richard L. Mueller (www.rlmueller.net/Programs). Richard's full script also takes the local time zone from the Registry and converts the time from UCT to local time. Nifty

Fall 2015 Final Project Forms
- Timeline for IMP Seniors
- Final Project Approval Form (submit one per sponsor)
- Final List of Courses for the IMP Major
- Sponsor Schedule Sheet (submit one per sponsor)
- Student Schedule Sheet
Important Dates:
September: Meeting with Professor Williams to discuss your final project. Kristen will contact you individually to arrange a time.
November 13: Final project deadline. All materials are due in the IMP office by 5 p.m. They must be in their final forms and approved by your sponsor(s).
November 30–December 18: Final Project Reviews
December 19: Commencement
- Overview
- Submitting a Final Project Proposal
- Final Project Materials
- Approval by Sponsor(s) and Submission of the Final Project
- Final Project Review
- Followup
Each student is required to complete a final project — the culmination of the IMP. The final project is directed by the student's faculty sponsor from start to finish and is generally carried out during the senior year. It may take any number of forms ranging from a scholarly paper or analysis of field research to a performance, film, exhibition, multimedia presentation, or internship. The project must reflect the successful fulfillment of the educational goals embodied in the student's individualized curriculum. After the student has completed the final project, prepared the required documents, and secured his or her sponsor's approval, the IMP office will schedule the student's final project review. At the conclusion of the review, the committee will decide whether the work required for the individualized major has been successfully completed or whether further revisions are needed.Back to top
Submitting a Final Project Proposal
A final project proposal is due in writing at the time of each student's Mid-Program Assessment. (Students should make sure their sponsors have reviewed the proposal prior to the Mid-Program Assessment.) The proposal should specify the type of project: research, performance or exhibit, other creative project, or internship.
For research projects, the proposal should clearly articulate the question or questions that the project will seek to answer and indicate a general idea of the length of the resulting paper. Research project proposals should also make a compelling connection between the nature of the research and the content of the major.
For other types of projects, the proposal should assure the committee chair that the performance, internship, or other undertaking proposed represents a satisfactory integration of the courses, tutorials, and other experiences that comprise the major. The proposal should also preview the approach the student will follow in the analytic essay. All project proposals must include a timeline for completion.
Students are required to enroll in at least three credit hours of IMP-I460 during the semester of the final project (usually the student's final semester).
IMPORTANT: Students whose final projects involve human subjects must abide by the procedures set out by the Institutional Review Board.Back to top
Final Project Materials
The required documents for a final project vary from student to student depending on the nature of the project.
General Requirements
All projects must include the following:
- Retrospective Statement (3 copies): A three- to five-page, double-spaced essay reflecting on the student's overall program of study. See guidelines and examples here.
- Student Schedule Sheet
- Sponsor Schedule Sheet(s) (one per sponsor)
- Final List of Courses for the IMP Major (3 copies)
- Final Project Approval Form(s) (one per sponsor)
- Additional materials depending on the type of project: Research, Performance/Exhibit, Creative (non-performance), or Internship
Research Projects
If the final project is a research paper or other report on research, the student must submit the items in the General Requirements list plus the following:
- Research paper/report (3 copies)
Performances and Exhibits
If the final project is a performance or exhibit, the student must submit the items in the General Requirements list plus the following:
- Video of the performance (3 copies) or photographic documentation of the exhibit (3 copies). Students should notify the IMP office and their committee members in advance of the performance or exhibit so they can make an effort to attend. The IMP office can provide contact information for committee members.
- Program notes (3 copies)
- Analytic Statement (3 copies): The analytic statement is a 10- to 12-page essay explaining how the final project integrated the various other elements of the student's IMP curriculum. See guidelines and examples here.
Creative Projects
If the final project is a creative production such as a film, novel, or musical composition (but not a performance), the student must submit the items in the General Requirements list plus the following:
- The creative project itself, e.g. a film, book, CD, etc. (3 copies).
- Analytic Statement (3 copies): The analytic statement is a 10- to 12-page essay explaining how the final project integrated the various other elements of the student's IMP curriculum. See guidelines and examples here.
Internships can serve as final projects when they are not only learning experiences but opportunities to put into practice the sum total of what the student has learned in the IMP. If the final project is an internship, the student must submit the items in the General Requirements list plus the following:
- Analytic Statement (3 copies): The analytic statement is a 10- to 12-page essay explaining how the final project integrated the various other elements of the student's IMP curriculum. See guidelines and examples here.
- Weekly reflections from I450 (3 copies): See I450 for details.
- Internship Evaluation Form (3 copies)
Approval by Sponsor(s) and Submission of the Final Project
Deadlines for submitting final project materials are posted each semester. Before submitting any materials to the IMP office, students must obtain the approval of their sponsor(s) via the Final Project Approval Form. By signing the form, sponsors indicate that they have read and approved all parts of the project in their final versions.
Students should provide each of their sponsors with a complete, final copy of all project materials (this is in addition to the three copies that are submitted to the IMP office).
Once the final project has been submitted, the IMP office will schedule the student's final project review.Back to top
Final Project Review
The final project review is similar to the admission interview. It is attended by the student, his or her sponsor(s), a two-person faculty committee (often, but not always, the same committee that attended the student's admission interview), and the IMP director or assistant director.
With a few exceptions, final project reviews are 90 minutes long. The time given to each section of the review will vary, but the following outline offers a sense of what may take place:
- Pre-discussion Conference (15 minutes): Before the review begins, committee members, sponsor(s), and the IMP director/assistant director exchange their views of the project, conferring briefly on its overall quality. Identifying and discussing areas of concern in advance enables the chair to structure the review in the most relevant and helpful way.
- Discussion with the Student (30 minutes): This segment often begins with the student summarizing the work that went into the final project, suggesting what he or she learned from the project, and showing the project's connection to the larger IMP experience. This segment is followed by a group discussion of the final project's strengths and weaknesses with the goal of clarifying the project's significance and value.
- Confidential Faculty Evaluation (15 minutes): In the light of their assessment of the project itself and of the student's comments on it, the committee will consider whether to accept the project as is or whether to require revision or expansion. For projects that are judged to be acceptable, the committee will consider possible nominations for honors and prizes.
- Conclusion (15 minutes): The committee members will explain their decision to the student and offer their recommendations and advice.
Upon successful completion of the final project review and any required revisions, the student will be cleared for graduation (assuming all other graduation requirements have been completed). Students should apply for graduation several months in advance so as to be made aware of any outstanding requirements.
Students who have been awarded an IMP Special Expenses Grant for their final project expenses must submit original receipts to the IMP office in order to receive reimbursement.
The IMP holds its own graduation ceremony each semester. Graduating students will receive information about the event via e-mail. Information about IU's Commencement ceremonies is available on the Commencement Web site.Back to top

LG will unveil the world's first webOS-powered smart TV at CES
LG purchased webOS nearly a year ago, and is finally using its investment. The South Korean electronics giant announced today that it will be showing off its first webOS-based device at CES 2014 in January.
The company will be unveiling a new webOS-powered TV at CES, which will feature a dual-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz and 1.5GB of RAM. The TV should be multi-task-capable, too. With LG's current 'smart' TVs, most consumers aren't using most of the smart features, but the company is optimistic that its new webOS-powered TV can change that.
NVIDIA begins its G-Sync push, starting with the ASUS VG2480QE
We were in Montreal, Canada when NVIDIA announced its glorious, V-Sync killing G-Sync technology, but now you can buy monitors with the game-changing technology built-in.
The first off the production line is the tweaked ASUS VG2480QE, which is a 1920x1080-pixel monitor at 144Hz, which has a G-Sync module installed into it. Digital Storm is offering the panel with the G-Sync module installed for $499, or you can bring in your own VG2480QE, and Digital Storm will install G-Sync goodness into it for $299.
If you want some of the most bleeding edge gaming technology available, and think the next-gen consoles are for peasants, well, your meal ticket is right here. We'll have one in the labs ASAP, and I'll be all over that.
AOC unveils an all new 27-inch 2560x1440 monitor
In today's world, a serious gamer, developer or designer needs to have a serious monitor and that is where AOC comes into play. Today, the company released its latest 27-inch high-resolution beast, the q2770Pqu. The monitor is a 27-inch WQHD unit that features a resolution of 2560x1440.
The new Ultra-HD monitor boast a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees and a response time of just 5ms. A built-in USB 3.0 hub is present to add more connectivity to the desktop, while Dual-Link DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI handle the video input. AOC says that the monitor draws only 29W of energy while in Eco-Mode, and we can expect it to retail for around $500.
DisplayPort 1.3 standard will support 8K, oh and 4K in 3D
DisplayPort technology is continuously improving, with DisplayPort 1.3 now being teased with some huge improvements. DP 1.3 will feature a bitrate of 8.1 Gbps per channel, up from 5.4 Gbps found in DP 1.2.
We should see a wonderful world where multiple 4K displays are supported from a single cable - something I'm longing for as I type this on a 4K display - and DP 1.3 will allow this. DP 1.3 will see support for 8K thanks to its insane bandwidth of a theoretical 32.4 Gbps. We should also see 4K 3D support ushered in with DisplayPort 1.3, which will be another awesome addition going into 2014.
What I would like to see, is some confirmation that we will indeed be seeing 4K in 3D, and whether this means I'll get what I've been waiting for, for quite sometime now: 4K at 120Hz. Unfortunately, we won't see the fruits of high-resolution labor until sometime in 2014 - where we'll see it announced, but it won't be pushed into devices until 2015.
Dell's UP2414Q is nearly here, 24-inch 4K display goodness
Dell already has the Ultrasharp UP3214Q, 32-inch 4K display in its corner, but it looks like it's about to have a smaller, cheaper brother. The 24-inch monitor will arrive with the usual 3840x2160 resolution, which will see 183 pixels per inch on the display.
We also have 178/178-degree viewing angles, 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB, 10-bit, 10.7 billion colors and connectivity is covered by HDMI, DisplayPort, mini-DP, four USB 3.0 ports and a 6-in-1 card reader. We should expect it as an IPS-based panel, but we can't confirm this yet. The price should be cheaper than the UP3214Q, which is still around $3500.
RumorTT: Apple preparing 27- and 32-inch 4K displays
Most people, including myself, have expected Apple to unveil a 4K-capable Cinema Display, but we're not quite there, yet. Well, now we have a tease thanks to Reddit, that Apple could be working on some 4K panels.
There are two panels, a 27-inch panel, and a bigger, 32-inch display. Both panels offer 3840x2160 resolution, and would use Thunderbolt 2 technology to drive the display past the usual 2560x1440 resolution of the current Apple Thunderbolt Display. The more exciting tease here is that could not use the 16:9 aspect ratio (which provides the 3840x2160 resolution) and push a little bit further for 16:10, which would push out a resolution of 4096x2160, or the "Cinema 4K" standard.
LG admits to some of their TVs spying on you, but will be fixed soon
LG will be releasing a firmware update regarding the issue of their Smart TVs overriding privacy settings and sharing your history of media you have been watching. A user discovered that his LG Smart TV was sending his personal data including media from an external hard drive to an LG web address even when he had his privacy settings turned on. LG says that some over their TVs have failed to apply the settings and that they've been sending data to their servers. LG mentions that the data that is being sent to the servers is not being retained.
LG's comments about the privacy issue: "We have verified that even when this function is turned off by the viewers; it continues to transmit viewing information although the data is not retained by the server. A firmware update is being prepared for immediate rollout that will correct this problem on all affected LG Smart TVs so when this feature is disabled, no data will be transmitted."
Analyst says that Apple's TV isn't coming until 2015 or later
If you were like me, and expecting Apple to unleash a TV set next year, then you'd be wrong. One thing that could've dug Apple out of its financial mess on the stock market, would've been a TV set, but according to a KGI Securities analyst, it won't be happening next year, and maybe not even the next.
Ming-Chi Kuo, who is usually spot on with Apple rumors and insider talk, told investors today that he doesn't expect Apple to unveil a TV set until at least 2015, if not 2016. Kuo says that one of the big reasons behind this is that the supply chain for TV set production is a huge problem for Apple, as it continues to struggle getting additional content deals.
The analyst believes that integrating TV content, an App Store, and other services are absolutely necessary to Apple being successful with a TV. I agree, and I think if Apple wants to bring a TV to the market, it won't be cheap. If it's not cheap (which it won't be), then it needs to have its services, and content, nailed down, firmly.
Samsung to intro foldable displays by 2016, flexible is so yesterday
Samsung really is at the bleeding edge of technology right now, with its own curved smartphone, but what about 2014 and beyond? Well, according to Samsung's Analyst Day held in Korea, the company has teased the future of its technology.
You can see from the image above, that display technology is currently at the curved part, next year and into 2015 we'll see bended displays, but then - bam, technology barriers broken - and voila: foldable displays! This would be quite the boon to the technology market, especially tablets and Ultrabooks. Mobile devices will also see an injections of pixels from the 1920x1080 that we have now on most of its high-end Galaxy devices, to 3840x2160 - yes, 4K by 2015 on mobile devices.
MultiTouch unveils a new prototype 84-inch 4K interactive display
MultiTouch has just unveiled one of the largest portable touch-screen displays in existence. MultiTouch showed of off the new 4K resolution, 84-inch multitouch display prototype earlier this year at its company's developer conference in Helsinki Finland and now we are getting more information on the mammoth display.
The 84-inch display features all the benefits of the company's MultiTaction Cell technology which includes ultra-fast response times, simultaneous pen and touch support and the ability to precisely track multiple points of contact simultaneously from hands and fingers. The display is supported by the company's Cornerstone 2 SDK which allows developers to build stunning interactive applications, and greatly simplifies 4K Resolution scaling from single displays to walls featuring several displays up to 50-megapixels in resolution.
"Our 84-inch MultiTaction Cell prototype represents a giant leap not just in screen size but in resolution too," explains Hannu Anttila, VP of Business Development at MultiTouch. "Customers who take advantage of the pre-ordering programme will not only be among the first to benefit from this ground-breaking technology, but will also be able to purchase the complete package at a discount of more than 20%."

Because of the unpredictable weather, fall is a tricky time to travel. Forget the Caribbean where hurricanes can wipe out beach dreams. And in Europe it can get chilly in autumn, so when my sister invited me to Vienna, Austria, for a long weekend I packed lots of sweaters and read up on the museums and coffeehouses to visit.
To my great surprise, the sun was out and, with the wine harvest going strong, we headed to the Viennese countryside to hike and bike -- with more than water available to quench our thirst.
Using Vienna as a base, over the course of three days we ventured out beyond the city's limits to Grinzing; to the villages along the Danube in the Wachau valley; and to the north by the Czech Republic -- all perfect day trips packing in exercise, sightseeing and tasty treats.
The wonderful thing about vacations is that you don't feel any urgency. Touring around the verdant vineyards with the smell of grapes sweetening the crisp autumn air crystallized that feeling. It also helped that I had knowledgeable guides at my side.
My sister and her husband live in Vienna, so these day trips ranked among their favorite outings. On the first day we ventured to the city's northern limits among the rolling hills, just beyond the traditional village of Grinzing.
For centuries Grinzing has been an important center for Austrian winemaking and because of its proximity to the city (just a tram ride away), the wine taverns tend to be fancier, but you can still get a taste of the local wines in a quaint setting. Look for a bunch of pine branches hanging over the heavy wooden doors of certain establishments, an indication that it's a heuriger, a tavern featuring new wine. A law dating back to 1784 allowed Viennese wine growers the privilege of selling their wine and home-cooked food 300 days out of the year without paying exorbitant taxes. The modern-day "open" sign never replaced the branch-like wreath and to this day, heurigers doll up their entrances with bows, branches, and berries to welcome patrons.
We had gotten a late start on the first day so we had lunch before walking around. Going beyond Grinzing up the steep hill, we settled at the sturdy wooden tables on the terrace of a small cottage-like heuriger abutting their vineyard. My sister and her husband ordered a round of sturm, telling me that this was an Austrian tradition that I couldn't pass up. Out came thick beer glasses filled with a yellow, milky concoction looking like a pilsner gone very wrong.
I should have ordered a glass of wine, I thought. It didn't take long for me to change my mind.
Sturm is actually semi-fermented grape juice from the first grape harvest of the season. It's low in alcohol and marks the official start of autumn for many locals. It comes in red or white and acts as a perfect accompaniment to the traditional sausage-heavy, carb-packed meals.
I noticed that plenty of Austrians drink the slightly-sweet carbonated liquid at either lunch or dinner. And I now understand why busloads of German tourists opt out of the crowded Munich Oktoberfest and come to Austria to imbibe gallons of the stuff.
We didn't drink up a storm, so we could make the climb to the overlook and admire the Viennese cityscape.

28 year old woman | Sharpsburg, GA, USA | Seeking men 21-32 within 30 miles
Just looking
I like to surround myself with people who make me laugh, are there for me when I cry, and know the value of silence. My family is the most important thing to me. I'm the most reliable friend you'll ever have. I love children but i'm not positive I want any of my own. I enjoy going out and experiencing new things but most of the time I like to relax at home with family and friends.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Aerobics, Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
My BFF and I usually end up at El Ranchero for some food and then back to someone's house to hang out.
Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA
I'll listen to pretty much any kind of music but preferably something I can sing or move to. I love Shameless, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Bones, Fringe, How I Met Your Mother, etc.
I'm always up for a movie or sporting event but usually I just stay home and chill out with my family and friends. I spend a lot of hours just playing the Wii or catching up on my DVRs.
Guilty Pleasure: I still like reading teen novels. The last thing I read was The Secret Circle series. When I find some time, I would like to sit down with The Hunger Games.

it was so hot in kas that we stopped for some fruit shake and lemonades..those were so good that we drank several our holidays..
Kuytu means obscure/secluded. It abdolutely is. I liked it. Friendly staff, good food & coctails! One of two placed I hung around in Kas.
The food was good but not worth to wait 75 minutes! The worst part is that they think that's normal..
A cute little locally run cafe with a good vibe, away from the more touristy larger places you find down by the sea. Good interesting food cooked with passion and flavour. Friendly staff and super real coffee from a espresso machine. The Frozen fruit drinks are increadbly refreshing after a day of touring ruins in the hot sun.
Very delicious main courses, breakfast and salad..
Special Mediterranean kitchen..
Very different sauces..
I do suggest..
If you are looking for another taste, yes you have to be there. Dont think lot , best price and best taste. They have small hidden garden. Try homemade burger and thai chicken and also they have more meals. We went there last year and again we went there, the taste was the same , i mean te best:)
İf you go Kuytu before 10pm in evenings, ıts very hard to find a suitable table and i think its because of kuytu is well-known with its meals and the kitchen closes about 11pm. We went to Kuytu two times, (after 10pm) so couldnt eat something but drink nice coffee and fresh fruit juices. I suggest you to drink lemonade,...
Happened across this place by chance at lunchtime and was not disappointed. Fresh fruit juices were lovely and both dishes we ordered we couldn't fault. We had the Meatballs in Honey and Mustard sauce and Chicken and Mushroom Linguine which were really tasty. Ambience was great as well as it had a chilled out, hippy vibe that wouldn't have been...
Lovely little cafe bar found on las night ,little gem only small lovely setting,menu bit different too,Tai curries ,chicken and apple curry both very tasty,check out the spicy potatoes yummy,real quirky little place lovely. .
lively and social place, either for breakfast or for dinner. nice place to meet people. exceptional quality of staff, excellent music! this place truly makes you feel home.

Exercise is the key to healthy aging. Many older adults have heard of the benefits of exercise but may be unsure of where to start. There are many benefits of exercising as you age, and one of the best side effects is keeping you young. The more you move, the better you'll feel. You don't have to do anything too vigorous, nor is it recommended when just getting started with an exercise program. Starting slow is the way to go.
There are a few steps you should take before beginning an exercise program. First, you should get medical clearance from your health care provider especially if you have a pre-existing condition. They will tell you if there are any exercises you should avoid.You will want to start an exercise program slowly. You should not go "all out," but instead ease into a program a little bit at a time. Make sure to take the time to learn proper form and technique for all exercises to avoid injuring yourself.Learn to recognize problems. If something doesn't feel right, you should stop. Exercise should never hurt or make you feel bad.If you experience pain, feel dizzy or short of breath, experience chest pain or pressure, or break out in a cold sweat, you should stop exercising right away and contact your physician.
When developing a program you should remember to keep it varied. It will break up boredom and help to improve your overall health and wellness. Try to include the following four variables into your weekly routine.
Cardio exercise increases the body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and helps remove toxins over a sustained period of time. In seniors, it can help lessen fatigue, promote independence, and improve endurance. Examples of cardio exercise can include walking, cycling, swimming, hiking, tennis, dancing, etc.

This photo provided by the Myrtle Creek Police Department shows a Jeep that authorities say a toddler crashed into an home in Myrtle Creek, Ore. (AP Photo/Myrtle Creek Police Department)
MYRTLE CREEK, Oregon: Police say a toddler crashed a Jeep into a home, then ran back to his home to watch cartoons.
Authorities say the 3-year-old boy who was wearing only a diaper climbed into the Jeep Tuesday evening and knocked it out of gear. Witnesses say it rolled down the street, through an intersection and into the house, causing minor damage.
KPTV reports (http://bit.ly/1rhWlK6) an officer found the boy on a couch watching TV.
He said his parents weren't home and another relative was sleeping. Police cited 22-year-old Brennan Pennington for failing to supervise a child.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 2/19/13
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. The past is a distant memory for Yunel Escobar, something hed rather sweep into a dustbin and forget forever. For good reason, he wants to keep his gaze fixed on the path ahead. His uniform has changed, his colors are different, the clubhouse culture he enters with the Tampa Bay Rays is loose and free. Still, a player's record is never discarded so simply or tucked from view despite the passing of time. Theres a reputation that follows the seventh-year shortstop, acquired by the Rays from the Miami Marlins in December, and he vows to do maintenance on how hes perceived. Its a new year, new team, said Escobar, through catcher Jose Molina as a translator. What happened (in Toronto) could be a mistake, could be bad. But thats last year. This year is a new year. New team. What happened in Toronto was misguided and embarrassing, but it could become a pivot point for Escobar if he allows. On Sept. 15, 2012, he played with a homophobic slur written in his eye black in...

As part of its efforts to develop alternative materials to realize a lowcarbon and resource-recirculating society, Ricoh is working on the development of components and toners for copiers that utilize biomass resins. Biomass resins have been receiving increasing attention recently as they are recyclable and contribute less to global warming than their petroleum-based counterparts. In 2002, we started development of biomass plastic for application in our copiers, and in 2005, rolled out the industry's fi rst multifunctional digital copier equipped with biomass components (50% biomass content1) in its main unit. As collection and recycling of toners after printing is rather diffi cult, it is important to reduce the environmental impact of their components—currently, petroleum-based resins constitute the primary components. Ricoh has worked on the commercialization of biomass toners since2 2006, releasing them onto market in November 2009.
Ricoh plans to continue technical development toward improving biomass content and expanding the use of biomass resins. At the same time, Ricoh plans to search for possibilities toward commercialization of technology for effectively using limited resources in other materials as well as by reducing the use of resources that are highly likely to dry up and focusing on alternative resources.
|Began developing biomass plastic components as materials for copiers
|Became the industry's first to employ plastic with 50% biomass content in the main component of a multifunctional digital copier
|Began efforts toward commercialization of biomass toners
|Released the imagio MP C2200 model, which employs a newly developed plastic component with roughly 70% biomass content
|Released the imagio MP 6001GP, equipped with "for E Toner," and became the world's first manufacturer to employ a biomass toner (25% biomass content)
