Phoenix Suns
Suns' Dudley to miss second straight game
Playing the NBA's number-one team is tough enough, let alone doing so minus your second-best shooter and third-leading scorer.
Yet that is what the Suns face Monday when they host the 29-8 Oklahoma City Thunder.
"I just think right now it wouldn't be in the best interest of the team for me to go tonight," Jared Dudley said following shoot-around Monday.
Dudley did not play Saturday at Chicago after hurting his right wrist the game before at Brooklyn. He got a finger stuck inside Nets guard Joe Johnson's jersey, causing some swelling on top of the hand.
Dudley said the swelling has gone down some allowing him to rotate his wrist more, but he still can't bend it all the way back.
"It's just more when I put pressure, dribbling the ball, shooting (the ball) from long distance (the hand) hurts," he said.
"If I think I could help the team be effective I would be out there. I think today, if I was open in the corner not being able to shoot 3s and it hurting, I wouldn't want to put my team in jeopardy."
With Dudley sidelined, Shannon Brown will make his second straight start at shooting guard.
"Another day of rest," Dudley said, "and then we don't play until Thursday so I can get two days of practice and strength stuff and hopefully more time to heal."
Dudley, averaging 12.1 points shooting 48.5 percent, did not appear to be missed when the Suns beat the Bulls to end their five-game losing streak.
"Never not worried," he said with a smile, "because I'm always the top cheerleader on the team."

Hog futures rose as signs of ample demand for U.S. pork fueled speculation that last week's price slide was exaggerated. Cattle declined, capping the longest slump since 2008.
Hog futures climbed for the fourth straight session on an outlook for strong demand before the U.S. Labor Day holiday and as equities advanced. Cattle also gained.
Pork stockpiles in the U.S. rose 16 percent at the end of July from a year earlier, the government said, as production increased and higher prices curbed demand.
Hog futures fell the most in 10 weeks as the dollar's advance reduced the appeal of U.S. meat exports, and on signs that U.S. pork supplies are climbing. Cattle also declined.
Cattle futures rose to the highest in more than a week on signs of improved demand for U.S. beef. Hogs were little changed.
Hog futures plunged the most in three weeks as a rally in the dollar eroded prospects for U.S. pork exports. Cattle prices rose.
Pork stockpiles in the U.S. rose 12 percent at the end of March from a year earlier, the government said, amid increased production of the meat.

Attempts have been made to have federal agencies preempt certain restrictive covenants. For example, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) attempted unsuccessfully to have the FCC pre-empt restrictive covenants related to amateur radio towers. The FCC found that restrictive covenants are private contractual agreements, not state or local regulation, and not subject to the FCC pre-emption policy.
A restrictive covenant differs from a zoning regulation in that its creation and enforcement is a matter of contract between the landowners whose properties are affected by it, rather than an exercise of the governmental police power.

I recently received a form from my auto insurance company, asking me to either promise to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle, or to purchase a required additional twenty-thousand dollars of coverage for the privilege of going helmetless.
It was for me a no-brainer — pardon the pun. If I agree to expose myself to probable skull and brain trauma when I crash, I have to pay extra for that? That's like asking me to pay extra for the right to weld without wearing goggles. Or charging me more to cut firewood if I promise not to wear gloves. It's like asking me to pay a dividend to go without a warm jacket in a snowstorm. Are they nuts? Of course I signed the form promising to wear a helmet when I ride.
I've been riding a motorcycle on the road for more than thirty-five years. It's one of my favorite and most economical modes of transportation for exploring the wilderness I love. My motorcycle gets twice the mileage of my truck, it unsnarls traffic jams nicely, and I almost never have trouble finding a place to park. In summer, it's an ideal form of transportation.
I ride a lot on dirt and gravel roads. It's just a feature of the territory where I live. There are two paved roads within twenty-two miles of here, so it's inevitable that I ride on roads that sensible road-bikers would rather avoid. My last two motorcycles have been 650CC for that reason, because I need a bike that's not too heavy to throw around. It'll still do a hundred miles and hour, and it has no problem accelerating uphill while carrying a passenger. Yet it's light enough that I can handle it when the road under my tires tends to move.
But that's not why I never get on the bike without a helmet. I don't ever intend to use that piece of equipment for its intended purpose. But I do use a visor, because I've had too many June beetles, hornets, rocks, and even birds bounce off it to even consider going without face protection. A baldface hornet hitting you on the unprotected cheek at seventy miles-per-hour is like a hard punch to the face. The impact of being hit in the head at highway speeds can, and has, unseated a driver, and caused more accidents than you can shake a stick at. Besides, I sometimes have to ride in a pounding rain, passing cooler-looking riders in half-helmets and Ray-Bans sitting out the storm in highway rest areas while I'm pressing on.
Ride without a helmet? Why do you even need to ask me that question?

KSR back for 3 more yearsBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | February 12,2013KILLINGTON The town has signed a three-year contract to sponsor the return of an internationally renowned cycling event.
The Killington Stage Race will return for the fourth straight year Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-27. Killington along with fellow sponsors Long Trail Brewing and athletic apparel manufacturer Champion System has paved the way for individual races, time trials and a grueling 60-mile run that concludes with a climb up East Mountain Road.
It turns a ghost town into a destination, said Town Manager Seth Webb, who in 2010 brought the race back to the area after a 10-year hiatus. Events like the stage race, the concert series, the junior golf tournament, these are all efforts by the town to make this a four-season resort.
This year, the town will spend $25,000 to sponsor the race, down from $32,000 in 2012. Since 2010, the Killington Stage Race has brought a combined $1.1 million to the local economy, according to a press release Webb issued.
The race originally ran from 1987 to 2000 and attracted more than 1,000 racers from across the United States, as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
To bring the event back to Killington the race has proven itself as a great investment for the town. Each year weve spent less and attracted over 500 to 600 riders. We look forward to continuing this tradition in 2013 through 2015, Webb said.

Arizona has two games in New York in the Preseason NIT to prove to itself (let alone the cynics) that it's tough enough to contend nationally.
Sunday's 18-point loss at Virginia opened up old wounds that festered last season with criticism the team is soft and lacks overall focus.
The Wildcats, thought to be the class of the Pac-10, finished third last season. They only had one win against a high-major NCAA Tournament team an early-season 91-83 against Texas in New York. They lost to Florida in Springfield, Mass., (albeit on a final possession) were swept by Stanford and lost three times to Washington. Their first-round NCAA loss to Seton Hall capped off a season of missed chances.
Throughout this preseason, the staff professed that this team was different and more attentive to detail.
Not so.
"We didn't play well, we didn't attack and it was all us," Arizona associate head coach Jim Rosborough said. "We didn't push the ball up court and we weren't tough. We were all concerned about that and told them all fall about our reputation. People call us cream puffs and that we're not tough."
There had been some concern that scheduling a desperate Virginia team on the way to New York was a dangerous move. With the ACC to deal with in six weeks, the Cavs needed a high-profile non-conference win not only for their own confidence but also to give the alumni reason to keep faith in the direction of the program.
On the surface, scheduling Virginia did backfire, but it could prove to be the best thing for the Wildcats if they can rebound in New York. Arizona has a shot to change the opinion on this squad with victories against Michigan and then either Wake Forest or Providence.
"We need to come in and play well," Rosborough said. "We've been in this tournament three times and won it. If we're able to go in and win the thing against very, very good competition, then we'll be right back where we were as one of the top teams in the country. Sunday, we weren't at all. We need to play well and get a couple of wins."
This isn't Arizona's only shot. The Wildcats scheduled up more this season because coach Lute Olson believes he has a national contender. He doesn't have any downright dogs on the schedule and faces games against Wyoming (just beat Princeton on Monday), Mississippi State in the John Wooden Classic in Anaheim (potential SEC West champ), Utah (top-three MWC team), at Marquette (5-0 through Monday), Manhattan (potential NCAA team again) and possibly Richmond (just won at Seton Hall) in the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Tucson.
The Wildcats will have plenty of chances to shed their soft label before they get to the Pac-10. But if they are to change their rep, they'll need more productivity from Isaiah Fox. Fox was suspended for the two exhibition games and the season opener. He lost his starting job to slender sophomore Ivan Radenovic. Randenovic was a non-factor against the Cavaliers with five points. Fox played just seven minutes and didn't score.
But the staff isn't going to hand minutes to Fox, who is still trying to show that he's recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of all but two games last season.
"We need a big body in there," Rosborough said of Fox. Fox would be a buffer for the Wildcats' starting center Channing Frye. The senior held up his own against the Cavs with 17 points and 11 rebounds, but he could use the help of a bruiser in the post.
"He's 260 pounds and we need him in there," Rosborough said. "But he's got to earn the time."
Sophomore point guard Mustafa Shakur has emerged as the leader of the team. That makes sense, but Shakur's got to get senior wing Salim Stoudamire to be in sync. Stoudamire shot just 4-for-11, (3-for-10 on 3s) for 13 points at Virginia after making 9-of-14 from behind the arc in Arizona's first two games.
"[Stoudamire] has to make shots to be a valuable guy for us," Rosborough said.
Hassan Adams, one of the top athletes and most versatile players in the country, brings toughness. The coaches would like to get more from the bench, from players like backup guard Chris Rodgers. The top freshman so far has been 6-foot-5 Jawann McClellan, who could be on the court more often if the Wildcats opt to go with a smaller frontline.
. "We're still evolving," Rosborough said. "We've got good players but the question is are we tough and are we willing to defend."
The answers could come in New York.

Issue with Powerlink
By Greg

Comments about SRAM PC-1091 10-Speed Chain:
Size the chain, but when I put it on the bike, the powerlink that came with the chain got stuck halfway and would not fully connect. I tried forcing it with no luck and then it would not come off. Had to use a chain break to remove the link and use the powerlink off the chain I was replacing. Other than that, the chain worked as expected.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

High Quality Chain at a Reasonable Price
By Splashboy
from Hobe Sound, FL
See all my reviews
I use this chain on my Fuji Gran Fondo 3.0 on which I have had Shimano 105 shifters and derailleurs, and Dura Ace shifters and derailleurs. I use an Ultegra 12-25 cassette. As long as I have the derailleurs adjusted properly and, most importantly, have the shifter cables' tensions adjusted properly, this chain purrs through the gears. Using different chainring systems has had no effect on the chain's performance. It is smooth with the three I have used.

A while back there was a post about the PMA expo in Melbourne & mention of a new distributor for Kentmere & Rollei in Australia. The firm importing these products is INDEPENDENT PHOTOGRAPHIC SUPPLIES PTY LTD
I contacted them about buying some Kentmere paper in Sydney & they referred me to 3 retailers for NSW - Madsens, Les Porter & Blanco Negro. I'll be buying some from Blanco Negro in Surry Hills as I can easily drop in there. Blanco Negro is a high quality custom B&W lab & the man who runs it is a nice guy.
The email from Independent also mentioned the Rollei films & other products to come.
Good news, I reckon.We are also about to release a brand new range of Rollei branded B & W film in Pan, Ortho, R3, 100 & 400 Speed daylight films and Infrared type emulsions, these will be complimented with a comprehensive range of film and paper developers, stop baths, fixers and toners etc.
Our website will feature updates shortly.

TEMECULA: Residents rally against quarry
Event prompts some heated exchanges with project supporters This story has been updated since its original posting
TEMECULA -- Residents fighting to keep a proposed granite mine from being built in the hills south of Temecula spelled out their opposition to the project Sunday -- literally.
About 1,000 people arranged themselves to form the phrase "NO QUARRY!" on an athletic field at Patricia Birdsall Sports Park in south Temecula.
As aerial photographers passed overhead in a plane and helicopter, participants chanted "No quarry, no quarry" -- a common mantra among area activists since early 2005 when Granite Construction Inc., of Watsonville, proposed building a 155-acre open-pit mine on 400-plus acres just north of the San Diego County border.
While some were content to voice their opposition passively, others preferred to be a little more vocal, mixing it up with a handful of quarry proponents who were in attendance.
Kathleen Hamilton, president of Save Our Southwest Hills, the quarry's main opponent, said more people turned out at this year's event than came out for last year's.
"People are starting to realize that this hasn't gone away," Hamilton said of the high turnout. "This is still a threat."
Hamilton added that she believes the large number of advertisements Granite has been running in local media has raised awareness among many residents who didn't know about the proposed mine, dubbed Liberty Quarry.
Granite has been waging a public relations battle with quarry opponents such as Save Our Southwest Hills and Rainbow Against the Quarry -- who were co-sponsors of this event -- and other area residents.
Among the many issues raised by opponents, the possibility of increased air pollution caused by the mine was the most common concern voiced at the event.
Casey Evans, a representative of Friends of Liberty Quarry, said Granite has hired independent scientists, such as medical doctors and geologists to examine the potential effects of the mine.
"Our scientists say air quality will not be an issue," Evans said, dismissing questions raised by area doctors who are opposed to the quarry. "We believe their facts are most likely biased."
One such opponent, Dr. Reg Watts, of De Luz, said he did not agree with Evans' assertion.
"They are liars," Watts said. "And you can quote me on that."
Watts said he is concerned that fine particles of dust called silica might be released into the air during blasting and then carried over neighboring areas by wind. That claim has been dismissed by proponents as a scare tactic.
While Evans and other supporters of the project may dismiss air quality concerns, opponents see it as the defining issue.
Temecula resident Holly Swenson said she brought her 4-year-old daughter, Kelsey, to the event because, she said, she believes the quarry is a threat to her family and others in the area.
"I don't want to breathe that stuff. I don't want my kids breathing that stuff," Swenson said. "And I don't believe a word they say. This is about money to them."
Swenson was not alone in her emotional response. Distrust and anger were in the air, and as the event got under way, some representatives from Friends of Liberty Quarry found themselves under verbal fire.

The team blog of the Expression Blend and Design
One of the features that we added in Expression Blend 3 is the ability for you to create Silverlight projects that come associated with a Web site. In this brief post I will jump between describing why this is useful and how Blend provides access to it.
Let's start with the easy part. You can access it directly via the New Project dialog where we created a Silverlight 3 Application + Website project template:
Once you create your new project using this template, you have successfully used this new feature! For the most part, nothing really should seem or feel different for you, for this feature is more about what we do behind the scenes. There are a few exceptions. One immediate difference that you may notice is that your solution now contains a node for your Web site along with your Silverlight application:
There are several reasons why we decided to create this Web site project by default. The main reason is that you get all of the benefits of building a traditional Silverlight application where all of the content you incorporate gets embedded into your XAP and downloaded by default when your page loads. What is new, though, is that you also get the added benefit of being able to load content on demand using your own loading and preloading mechanism. That functionality is provided for you via Blend's support for Web sites.
If I had to visualize this, it would look as follows:
You build your XAPs like always (Silverlight Project), but you have the added bonus of being able to think outside the XAP (Web Site Project). When you hit F5 to build and preview your application, the XAP gets built, copied into the right location on your website, and the HTML page that already exists loads and gives you a preview. We do not re-generate the HTML file each time you build, so this means you can customize your HTML page without worrying about your changes getting overwritten the next time you build.
Beyond just changes to how your projects behave and build, we added some extra functionality to make it possible for you to easily reference and visualize on the artboard the content from either your Silverlight Application or your Web Site without having to write XAML manually.
If you have images that live in both your Silverlight application and Web Site, our path picker for an Image control's Source property displays the images from both locations:
This is significantly different from what we've had in Expression Blend 2 SP1. While you could always open a solution authored in Visual Studio that contained both a Silverlight Application and a Web Site (my article describes that to a certain detail), hitting F5 in Blend would be unpredictable. You also didn't have the extra support for treating all assets as being equal despite where they are being loaded from.
Let us know what you think of this feature. This features was designed to seamlessly blend into your workflow and "just work", but if you had any ideas or suggestions on what more can be done or things you think we should change, feel free to comment below to let us know.
Cheers! Kirupa :)
PingBack from http://asp-net-hosting.simplynetdev.com/thinking-outside-the-xap-%e2%80%93-blend-3-and-support-for-web-sites/
Thank you for submitting this cool story - Trackback from DotNetShoutout
That's nice! I've already finished with a couple of silverlight projects would have been easier to build if I could have done the previewing in blend rather than having to switch between Blend and Visual Studio. I'm a designer (that knows a little asp) and I much prefer blend when building SL apps.
Sean - you should still be able to preview your app when your solution has a Web Site associated with it. In Blend 2, you have to set the HTML page in your web site as the Startup, and you have to actually set the Web Site as your startup project.
Both of these commands can be found via right-clicking on the HTML file and the Web Site icon in your Project pane.

I am a student at Coventry University on MSc in Computing and I am currently working on my dissertation called "Return on Investments for SEO and PPC", therefore I am working on search engine optimization for one website.
I would like to ask you for a small help. I need to get some relevant back links for the website I am doing the optimization for. Would it be possible to get one from any of your articles? It does not have to be permanent, but just for a couple of months, so I can measure the effect and get some relevant results for my dissertation.
I would really appreciate. Please, if you are willing to help me, contact me back and we can discuss the details.

The White House Blog: The Vice President
President Obama Helps Dedicate the New Edward M. Kennedy InstitutePosted byon March 30, 2015 at 5:58 PM EDT

President Obama, Vice President Biden, and the First Lady traveled to Boston today to celebrate the opening of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. The building — complete with a full-scale replica of the United States Senate chamber — honors the life and legacy of Edward "Ted" Kennedy, who served as a U.S. Senator from 1962 to 2009.
Located adjacent to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, the Institute offers interactive exhibits, a replica of Sen. Kennedy's D.C. office, and historic documents and memorabilia from the Senator's life.
"The John F. Kennedy Library next door is a symbol of our American idealism. The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate is a living example of the hard, frustrating, never-ending, but critical work required to make that idealism real," President Obama said today.
Watch the President's full remarks here:
The Incredible Kid-Ingenuity on Display at the Fifth White House Science FairPosted byon March 23, 2015 at 5:51 PM EDT
President Barack Obama talks with Sergio Corral and Isela Martinez while viewing science exhibits during the 2015 White House Science Fair celebrating student winners of a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) competitions, in the State Dining Room, March 23, 2015. The two 17-year-old students are current leaders of the robotics program from Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix, Ariz., which was chronicled in the recent documentary "Underwater Dreams" where their under-served high school beat out MIT and other colleges in an underwater robotics competition. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy)
Today, the halls of the White House were packed with science projects -- robots, 3D-printed objects, computer programs, apps, and extraordinary scientific discoveries -- all built, invented, designed, and brought to fruition by students.
At the fifth-annual White House Science Fair, President Obama welcomed more than 100 students from more than 30 states for a celebration and showcase of their truly remarkable achievements in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
As part of the Science Fair, approximately 35 student teams exhibited innovative projects -- including discoveries and insights in key areas such as disease diagnostics, clean energy, and information security -- as well as inventions ranging from the "why didn't I think of that?" (automatic page-turner for people with arthritis) to the "who'd have ever thought that possible?" (a hiccup-curing lollipop!).
The President personally viewed some of these projects, marveling at the incredible ingenuity on display from student innovators across the country including some as young as six years old.
Being Biden: The 5th Anniversary of the Affordable Care ActPosted byon March 23, 2015 at 2:37 PM EDT
The Vice President sent the following message to the White House email list today, sharing his personal audio reflections on the five-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Didn't get the email? Make sure you're on the list to receive them in the future.
Today marks five years since 11-year-old Marcelas Owens and I watched the President sign the Affordable Care Act into law.
Marcelas lost his mom to an illness when he was a younger boy. She didn't have insurance, so she couldn't afford the care that she needed. No family -- no child -- in America should have to go through what his family has experienced.
That's why we fought so hard for this reform bill. That's why the President -- whose own mother argued with insurance companies in her final days as she battled cancer -- signed this bill into law.
And that's worth remembering today.
I sat down to reflect on that day, and what's happened since then. Have a listen, and then pass this on to anyone you think who needs to hear it.
Week in Review: A Royal Visit, Leading on Climate, and The First Lady's Travel JournalPosted byon March 21, 2015 at 5:35 PM EDT
This week, the President announced a new executive order that will allow America to lead on climate, traveled to Ohio to answer a few questions at The City Club of Cleveland, hosted the the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, and celebrated St. Patrick's day with the Prime Minister of Ireland. The First Lady also had a busy week, heading to Japan and Cambodia to launch key partnerships for the Let Girls Learn initiative.
Find out more about the past week in our latest weekly wrap-up.
Leading by Example
President Obama signed an executive order on Thursday that will help us cut greenhouse gas emissions and set a bold example to other nations. This week's order positions the federal government to cut their carbon pollution emissions by 40% over 10 years. This would save taxpayers up to $18 billion in energy costs and increase the share of electricity the federal government uses from renewable sources to 30%.

This week, the President broke bread with My Brother's Keeper mentees, sat down with the President of Liberia and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, shared the stage with Eric Holder and Aretha Franklin, and welcomed law enforcement officials and Peace Corps volunteers to the White House. While the Vice President was in Guatemala to discuss investing in Central America. That's February 27 to March 5 or, "Just a Souvenir!"
Previewing Vice President Biden's Trip to GuatemalaPosted byon March 2, 2015 at 10:30 AM EDT
Continuing the Administration's active engagement in Central America, the Vice President is traveling to Guatemala City on Monday to meet with the Presidents of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and the President of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Last November in Washington D.C., the leaders of these countries rolled out their Alliance for Prosperity plan to tackle the endemic violence and poverty that have held the region back while the rest of the hemisphere has prospered. The Vice President also outlined how the United States, the international community, and the private sector could support the plan's implementation.
This week in Guatemala City, the presidents will update Vice President Biden on their progress. The presidents of the countries have already taken courageous steps to target criminal smuggling groups, root out corruption, and promote the transparency of their institutions.
West Wing Week: 02/27/15 or, "Where Are My Hawaiians?'"Posted byon February 27, 2015 at 2:26 PM EDT
This week, the President hosted civil rights and consumer protection advocates, filmed a Let's Move sketch with the First Lady, sat down for a heart-to-heart with a White House mentee, held an immigration town hall in Florida, and honored Black History Month at the White House.
West Wing Week: 2/13/15 or, "Just Say the Word"Posted byon February 13, 2015 at 11:07 AM EDT
This week, the President spent time with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Hoosiers, BuzzFeeders, veterans, and public health warriors -- while the Vice President traveled to Belgium and Germany.
Being Biden Vol. 19: The State of the UnionPosted byon January 17, 2015 at 4:46 PM EDT
In this edition of Being Biden, the audio series that gives you an inside look at the vice presidency, Vice President Joe Biden recounts his experience with past State of the Union addresses -- and highlights what will make this 2015 speech so special.
He reflected on a photo where he's leading the Senate -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- from the Senate chamber onto the House floor for the President's address.
The State of the Union address is where "every President lays out where the country is at the moment, and where he thinks he should try to take the country from this moment on." This year, President Obama will give that speech on Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.
Vice President Joe Biden closed with a thank you, as well as a piece of advice for those who want to watch the President on Tuesday: "Thanks for listening, and make sure you tune in to WhiteHouse.gov to hear the President's State of the Union speech."
Listen to Volume 19 of Being Biden, then go to WhiteHouse.gov/SOTU to learn more about the speech.
Email from Vice President Joe Biden: "The State of the Union"Posted byon January 17, 2015 at 2:10 PM EDT
Last night, Vice President Joe Biden sent a message to the White House email list, letting readers know that the very best place to watch the State of the Union is at WhiteHouse.gov/SOTU.
Didn't get it? Make sure you sign up for email updates here.
We're heading to the Capitol this Tuesday, where President Obama will deliver his sixth State of the Union address since taking office in 2009.
Now, the idea of the State of the Union is as old as this nation itself -- it's literally written into the Constitution.
But new technologies have transformed the address from a simple letter to Congress into something that was broadcast over the radio and then over the television -- and the Founding Fathers wouldn't believe how folks are able to watch the speech today.
I'm telling you this because now the very best place you can watch the speech is not on the House floor -- it's at WhiteHouse.gov/SOTU.

Just a note for those that might have missed it…I'm one part of a three part post over at TechSource on the Kindle 2 and libraries. I'm pointing it out mainly because of the fact that I did the very first, I think, video for TechSource, showing off the Kindle 2's Text-to-Speech feature. Go take a look, and let me know how you think it came out.
Tag Archives: amazon
The Kindle and Reference 2.0
Ok, so we've all seen the press, read the Newsweek story, and if you're reading this you probably read my take on the Amazon Kindle. Here's a new feature that wasn't heavily marketed for the Kindle, that has a direct impact on library efforts…and the surprising thing is, it has nothing to do with reading a book.
I'm talking about Amazon NowNow.
It's an "experimental" feature on the Kindle, but NowNow is a human-powered answer engine that uses the Amazon Mechanical Turk group to search and answer questions for users. The service is in beta, and has been for a year or so (Jessamyn blogged about NowNow back in January).
So what's the big deal? Well, the Kindle is an always-on internet appliance…anywhere you can get a cell signal, you can be online with the thing. Which means that you can ask a question and get an answer, from nearly anywhere, from a human, emailed directly to the device you used to ask the question in the first place. And this is built into the device…yes, Amazon might decide to charge for this, but right now they aren't.
Is this Reference 2.0? Imagine being asked a research question by a patron, finding the perfect article for them, and being able to send that article to the device they are going to use to read it. Yes, I realize that laptops sort of fill this goal already, but the Kindle is certainly a more user-centered way of getting at this process. The patron doesn't have to find a way to ask us questions…the device they are using is a direct line to us. It might not be that distinct from a webpage with a meebo widget…but I think it is qualitatively different somehow.
More on the Kindle
The Kindle is for sale at Amazon right now, and the details of the device are intriguing. More highlights:
- It connects to the net via cellular networks, specifically EVDO. So anywhere you can get a cell signal, you can buy a book. And there is no charge for the connectivity…Amazon is underwriting it.
- There looks to be subscription models for newspapers, magazines, etc, all delivered automatically in the background. Wake up every morning and the Times is waiting.
- New York Times® Best Sellers and all New Releases $9.99, unless marked otherwise.
And, my favorites:
- Includes free wireless access to the planet's most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia—Wikipedia.org.
- By using the keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes, highlight and clip key passages, and bookmark pages for future use.
- The source code for the device appears to be available…one can only guess that they leveraged some open source software and are complying with the license. Except that it's machine readable source…hmmmm.
Here's the bad:
- They are advertising "more than 250 top blogs…" I take this to mean there is no open RSS reader built in. That seems a nearly criminal omission from the Kindle. I mean, RSS is the backbone of content choice on the web right now…come on Bezos!
- It does support ebooks via Audible…so you can read or listen, as you choose.
- From the License Agreement: "Amazon provides wireless connectivity free of charge to you for certain content shopping and acquisition services on your Device. You will be charged a fee for wireless connectivity for your use of other wireless services on your Device, such as Web browsing and downloading of personal files, should you elect to use those services. We will maintain a list of current fees for such services in the Kindle Store."
- And here's a good one: "You agree you will use the wireless connectivity provided by Amazon only in connection with Services Amazon provides for the Device. You may not use the wireless connectivity for any other purpose."
Ah, and here's where eBooks and physical books diverge, and is the source of 99% of my frustration with the format (also from the License Agreement):
Use of Digital Content. Upon your payment of the applicable fees set by Amazon, Amazon grants you the non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy of the applicable Digital Content and to view, use, and display such Digital Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Device or as authorized by Amazon as part of the Service and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Digital Content will be deemed licensed to you by Amazon under this Agreement unless otherwise expressly provided by Amazon.
Restrictions. You may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, broadcast, sublicense or otherwise assign any rights to the Digital Content or any portion of it to any third party, and you may not remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Digital Content. In addition, you may not, and you will not encourage, assist or authorize any other person to, bypass, modify, defeat or circumvent security features that protect the Digital Content.
That book you bought? Not yours. Can't sell it. Can't even give it away.
Oh, and for those librarians who still hold tight to the privacy bandwagon:
Information Received. The Device Software will provide Amazon with data about your Device and its interaction with the Service (such as available memory, up-time, log files and signal strength) and information related to the content on your Device and your use of it (such as automatic bookmarking of the last page read and content deletions from the Device). Annotations, bookmarks, notes, highlights, or similar markings you make in your Device are backed up through the Service. Information we receive is subject to the Amazon.com Privacy Notice.
They know when you are reading. They know what you are reading, and that you bookmarked the sex scenes. Oh yes, they know.
So, exciting new product? Yep. Amazon, like Apple before them, has realized the power of a closed market segment, where they control the distribution and the consumption of media. The real test will be whether this survives the 2-3 year adoption cycle and moves into the magic price point range ($100-150).
Amazon Kindle
"The vision is that you should be able to get any book—not just any book in print, but any book that's ever been in print—on this device in less than a minute." –Jeff Bezos
How's that for a librarian's dream? The Kindle, Amazon.com's new eReader, launches tomorrow, and Newsweek has an article online about the new, possibly revolutionary, product.
I can't do a complete thinkpiece on the Kindle right now, but over the course of the week I'll get to my take on the device. There are still lots of questions unanswered (the wireless connectivity charge, for one), but here's the quick take to be expanded on later:
- This could very well be the iPod for books. It is revolutionary.
- Libraries seriously need to get their heads on straight regarding copyright law and licensing. If we don't do some very, very serious lobbying very, very soon, eBooks will kill the current library model. We really need to do some serious thinking about how this impacts us.
- It is too expensive. For $400 I can buy a laptop (or two!) and do many more things on it.
- I want one.

Read Poems by
Brittany Childress
My thoughts at war,
Locked in combat.
I don't know which way to turn,
Or which way is right.
Sometimes I want to run and hide,
Other times I want to stand and fight.
To many emotions are at play at once,
It's hard to understand it all.
It all seems like a bad dream,
And I'm still waiting to wake up.

Exploring Beneath Steinbeck's Wake
Mission Specs:
When: March 11 - 31, 2003
Where: Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California)
Who: Dr. Edie Widder - HARBOR BRANCH Oceanographic - Bioluminescence Dept.
What: Midwater Bioluminescence Survey
Back in 1940, famed author John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts completed the first major scientific research cruise around Mexico's Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California. Sixty three years later, arriving just a few days before the date Steinbeck and Ricketts did, and climbing aboard a boat by the same name, Western Flyer, a group of American and Mexican scientists are completing another scientific first. The team is using the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's (MBARI) advanced Tiburon Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to view for the first time ever the depths about which Steinbeck and Rickets could only imagine based on a few samples from nets during their trip.
Dr. Edith Widder, a marine biologist from HARBOR BRANCH Oceanographic Institution, is one of the fortunate participants on this historic scientific adventure. For the next three weeks on @Sea, Edie will be sending back first-hand descriptions of her research and discoveries on the Sea of Cortez during the third leg of a seven-leg mission organized by MBARI and dubbed the "Gulf of California Expedition." The team is aboard the Western Flyer, a SWATH (Small Water-Plane Area Twin Hull) oceanographic research vessel 117 feet long (36 meters) and 53 feet wide (16 meters).
Edie will be using specially designed equipment attached to Tiburon to record and study the bioluminescence, or chemically-produced light, of the myriad deep-sea animals that produce it. One instrument, called SPLAT (Spatial Plankton Analysis Technique), was originally developed for use on HARBOR BRANCH's deep-diving submersibles the Johnson-Sea-Links. SPLAT stimulates bioluminescent organisms so that they glow with their own unique light signature that can be captured on film and later analyzed to learn what animals are found in the region. In the lab, Edie will be using two high-resolution digital cameras and an intensified video camera to record collected animals in the lab to study their behavior.
Besides all manner of marvelous deep-sea oddities, Edie and her colleagues are virtually guaranteed to discover and study never-before-seen animal species, given that they will be operating in a region never explored using an ROV or submersible. So, be sure to check @Sea regularly during the expedition to be one of the first to hear the details when they do.
For in-depth coverage of the entire seven-leg expedition from February 19th through May 30, 2003, go to: http://www.mbari.org/expeditions/GOC

All the A's needed was for Stephen Vogt to get seriously hurt and it appeared he did in the sixth inning on Wednesday. With John Jaso having a concussion and Derek Norris a broken toe Vogt was the only healthy catcher on Oakland's roster so when manager Bob Melvin accompanied by assistant trainer Walt Horn hurried to check on Vogt it was a here-we-go-again moment. Fortunately for the A's Vogt was OK to stay in the game. Unfortunately for the A's the run-scoring play on which Vogt was knocked over by Dustin Ackley was a momentum-changer in a 5-3 A's loss. "We're lucky to have Stephen Vogt" Melvin said before the game "but we're down our two catchers with Derek and Jaso and that's not desirable. You deal with injuries and go forward but losing both your catchers can be tough. "But Stephen Vogt has done a nice job for us." The A's led 3-2 in the sixth inning and A.J.

Remembering September 11
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
The tenth anniversary of September 11 is right around the corner. Somehow, it seems like forever ago and just last week, all at the same time. I have to say that I have an entirely different perspective on the event at this point than I did when it actually happened.
The morning of September 11, 2001, I was seventeen, in my senior year of high school. I was in biology lab, and I vividly remember that I was dissecting a fetal pig, because it was disgusting. One of my classmates raced in, yelling that a plane had hit the World Trade Center and something about fires on the National Mall and that they were pretty sure the world was ending. My reaction was pretty much a frightened and confused "huh?" but then it was time to change classes, and I went to English class, and there the teacher turned on the TV. He turned it on just a few minutes before the second tower fell.
Dead silence in the room. We were all scared. It was hard to believe that something so unbelievably catastrophic could be happening less than two hours away from where we sat.
All day, we watched news coverage, and then I went home and watched some more. For me, it was the first time in my young adult life that I could tell that no one in authority really knew what to do or say. The newscasters seemed bewildered. My parents seemed stunned. Everyone seemed afraid. My mom hesitantly told me that I should stop watching it, but then she sat down and watched it with me. No one knew what to do and to a kid, who is used to following and obeying, that is a really scary and unsettling thing to realize.
That day, I was a kid. On this tenth anniversary of that day, I have a kid. I live in a completely different world now than I did then. (Although I guess, in a way, we all do.)
What would I say to her, if this happened again, and she was the one who was seventeen? If it happened while she was preparing to leave home for the first time in her life to go to college several states away, like I did? It's a terrifying thing, when it dawns on you that something so terrible has happened that your parents cannot protect you and in fact, they are terrified themselves. How do you explain to a kid the concept of evil?
I have no idea. And I hope that I never have to figure it out.Add a Comment

What opened in 1876 as a club for noblemen became a hotel for visiting Soviet bureaucrats to stay while on official business and now is a homey if somewhat outdated place to stay in the city center with high ceilings, skirted bedspreads, and tasseled lampshades. A restaurant serves a conservative range of European dishes, there's a cozy bar, and just up the block there's Gogol, a trendy and inexpensive café that serves traditional Russian food. The Kremlin is also just a short walk away.

After much searching, I chose the Budapest mainly based on price and location. The location was indeed very good. My room was more than a bit faded, old draperies, stark bathroom (but quite large) with poor lighting, and a worn down bed (sagging in the middle). Staff seemed disinterested whenever I asked directions. Wifi just plain wouldn't work in the hotel so I had to go to nearby internet cafe to use my laptop. I have no basis of comparison,
but compared to the prices I saw for other hotels in the area, I feel I probably had a pretty good value for Moscow.

Although it is by no means swanky, in fact it tends toward shabby, this is still a good choice for a value hotel. The carpets may be stained and the furniture from IKEA, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is great and the staff is pleasant and very helpful at about half the price of other nearby hotels.
No Thanks

YIELD: Serves 8
In a kettle cook the onion, the celery, and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the fennel seeds, the clam juice, the Tabasco, the mushrooms, the potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces, the thyme, and the basil, and simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are barely tender. In a small bowl whisk together the cream and the cornstarch, whisk the mixture into the potato mixture, and boil the mixture, whisking, for 1 minute. Stir the monkfish, the scallops, the shrimp, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and transfer the mixture to a 3-quart oval baking dish.
On a floured surface roll out the puff pastry into an oval to fit the dish and brush the edge of the dish with water. Arrange the pastry over the edge of the dish and roll the rolling pin over the edge of the dish to cut the pastry. Bake the potpie in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is puffed and golden brown. To serve, cut the crust into 8 pieces, arrange 1 piece on each of 8 heated dinner plates, and divide the filling among the plates.

Against the creaminess of the polenta it was just soooo good.
Heading into the small makeshift kitchen inside his shack he retrieved a large jar of polenta.
Jumbo crabmeat and avocado, Colorado rack of lamb with tarragon jus, and Parmesan polenta cake was eaten by candlelight.
Old English polente, from Latin pollenta, polenta, literally "peeled barley," related to pollen "fine flour," from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (1) "flour; dust" (see pollen). Later reborrowed from Italian polenta, from the Latin word.
