Case makers plan for Apple 'iPad HD,' Best Buy expects accessories March 11Ahead of next week's anticipated iPad unveiling, case makers are gearing up with parts for a so-called "iPad HD," while Best Buy's system shows third-party accessories will arrive on March 11.
Alleged part listings from accessory companies Griffin and Belkin obtained by Gizmodo both refer to an "iPad HD (3)." The listings could be an indication of what Apple intends to call its third-generation iPad, though it's also entirely possible that the case makers are just guessing until Apple makes any name official.
Generally referred to as an "iPad 3," Apple's next touchscreen tablet is expected to feature a high-resolution Retina Display that will pack more pixels than a 1080p television. That would justify the "iPad HD" name, if Apple were to in fact use that moniker.
Separately, Best Buy's internal inventory system is showing a handful of third-party "iPad 3" accessories that are scheduled to arrive on March 11, just four days after Apple's media event next week. The inventory listings at Best Buy, sent to TUAW, include ZAGG's InvisibleSHIELD device protectors.
The Best Buy listings make no mention of the "iPad HD" name used by Griffin and Belkin, and turned up in the system via a search for "ipad3." In addition to the name, the arrival date is also likely to be a placeholder, as March 11 is a Sunday.
Last year, before it was officially announced, Apple's fifth-generation iPhone was generally known as the mythical "iPhone 5." But Apple chose instead to call the device the iPhone 4S, as it features an external design largely identical to the iPhone 4.
The third-generation iPad is also expected to look very similar to its predecessor, the iPad 2, as numerous leaked components show a device with the same form factor, aside from a slightly thicker body measuring 0.81 millimeters larger than the iPad 2.
Whatever name the next iPad has, it is expected to feature high-speed 4G LTE data connectivity and a faster internal processor, in addition to the high-resolution Retina Display. Apple's iPad media event will begin next Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern.

ket today. The key to adapting this technology to meet energy-related applications in the future is cost reduction and performance enhancement. The Department of Energy has already identified several technology objectives relating to electrolytic hydrogen production.
Hydrogen can be made from renewable sources, enabling a perfectly sustainable energy path. The falling cost of renewable energy resources and the improving cost and efficiency outlook for electrolysis contribute to the prospect that renewably sourced electrolytic hydrogen may be competitive with other hydrogen supply in at least some instances.
Electrolyzers typically operate from grid-quality power, so a new variety of power control and conditioning equipment needs to be developed in order for electrolyzers to operate efficiently from renewable sources. The prospect exists for good efficiency in converting renewable power to hydrogen, insofar as electrolyzers require direct current and renewables generate direct current, so there are no losses associated with ac/dc conversion.
The production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources is often stated as the long-term goal of a mature hydrogen economy (Turner, 1999). As such the development of cost-effective renewable technologies should clearly be a priority in the hydrogen program, especially since considerable progress is required before these technologies reach the levels of productivity and economic viability needed to compete effectively with the traditional alternatives. Thus, basic renewables research needs to be expanded and the development of renewable hydrogen production systems accelerated.
Of all the renewables currently on the drawing boards, in the near to medium term, wind arguably has the highest potential as an excellent source for producing pollution-free hydrogen, using the electricity generated by the wind turbines to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. The issues for its successful development and deployment are threefold: (1) further reducing the cost of wind turbine technology and the cost of the electricity generated by wind, (2) reducing the cost of electrolyzers, and (3) optimizing the wind turbine-electrolyzer with hydrogen storage system. This section discusses current costs and projections for future costs of electricity produced by wind energy and then looks at the cost of producing hydrogen using an integrated wind turbine-electrolyzer system. (Discussion of electrolyzer technology is presented in the section "Hydrogen from Electrolysis.") This section focuses on wind energy systems that would be deployed on a distributed scale.
While wind energy has been one of humanity's primary energy sources for transporting goods, milling grain, and pumping water for several millennia, its use as an energy source began to decline as industrialization took place in Europe and then in America. The decline was at first gradual as the use of petroleum and coal, both cheaper and more reliable energy sources, became widespread, and then it fell more sharply as power transmission lines were extended into most rural areas of industrialized countries. The oil crises of the 1970s, however, triggered renewed interest in wind energy technology for grid-connected electricity production, water pumping, and power supply in remote areas, promoting the industry's rebirth. By 2002, grid-connected wind power in operation surpassed 31,000 MW worldwide (see Figure G-11).
In the early 1980s, the United States accounted for 95 percent of the world's installed wind energy capacity (see Figure G-11). The U.S. share has since dropped to 15 percent in 2002. Other countries dramatically increased their capacity starting in the mid-1990s, while the U.S. capacity essentially stagnated until 1999, when more than 600 MW in new capacity were installed in a rush to beat an expiring production tax credit for utility-scale projects. This credit has since been extended through December 31, 2003. In 2001 and 2002, the total installed wind capacity doubled in the United States, and in 2003 it was expected to increase another 25 percent, to more than 6000 MW, with installations of 1400 to 1600 MW of new wind power (AWEA, 2003).
The decline in the U.S. capacity world share can be explained by a combination of economic factors and changes in government-sponsored support programs that impeded the development of new capacity. The U.S. wind industry was born in 1981 in the aftermath of the world oil crises of 1973–1974 and 1978–1979. Wind energy was not cost-competitive with fossil fuel energy, but federal legislation guaranteed a market for wind-generated power and offered generous tax credits to developers of wind energy. However, 1986 marked the beginning of the slowdown in U.S. wind energy development. The availability of relatively cheap oil and natural gas and improvements in gas generating technology, coupled with the expiration of federal tax credits at the end of 1985, meant that wind energy remained significantly more costly than fossil fuels. The tax credit incentives had been more effective in building capacity than in maintaining productivity, and as a consequence electricity generation from wind did not grow as rapidly as initially anticipated. This trend appears to have reversed itself in the past 5 years, with more than a 22 percent annual increase in installed generating capacity since 1998, despite the recent problems permeating the electric utility industry. This recent growth, coupled with progressive state policies—30 states have installed wind capacity—the continuing extension of the federal wind energy production tax credit, and maturing wind turbine technology, appears to have signaled a rebirth for the industry in the United States.

Customer Reviews of Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1850 Hybrid Video Recorder For System Builders - PCI Express - ATSC, NTSC - White Box
Works great with XP MCE 20052/24/2008
This is my 4th Hauppauge card, after 3 successes with the PVR-150 series. This went into a mATX HTPC build where the only available slot was a PCIe slot. I am only using the Analog input from a DirecTV Receiver with this card, which seems to be on-par with the HVR-150. The drivers loaded without issue and it works flawlessly with XP MCE 2005, which is one of th reasons I stick with Hauppauge. I expect it will serve me well, as my other Hauppauge cards have. However, I do question why Hauppauge doesn't support component in jacks on this card for HDTV feeds from HDTV receivers. Some of the competing products do, but who knows if they actually work as promised.0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Censorship of movement2/23/2008
I bought the WINTV-HVR-1800 PCIE card for primarily the HDTV, currently have Angel II MPEG for analog for cable TV. I found a hack that allowed me to use all three analog encoders plus the HDTV in Microsoft Vista Media Center. Unfortunate I soon discovered that the encoder of the WINTV-HVR-1800 is of poor quality. The primary problem and one I tried to resolve with the support (Brice W.) from Hauppauge, is censorship of movement. If you are like me when watching a show, you like to see the action but this TV-tuner censors action; wherever there is movement in the picture that area becomes granulated (square blocks almost as if it is being censored). A secondary, less annoying issue is color, this encoder dulls out the color comparing it to the other one I have. I have been looking at this company for some time now, been interesting in making a DVR, using MythTV, currently use windows media center, still plan an making a separate DVR but will not use a tv-tuner from Hauppauge and suggest you look else were as well. The good thing is that it captures the OTA HDTV signal, at least some of them. The Fox channel is just blank but I do not know if it is the card or they are not broadcasting yet, most likely the card. The radio tuner works fine.
Slow, No HiDef Channels, Bad Customer Support12/1/2007
Stay away from this product. It does not work as advertised. I split the same TV cable signal into this card and my Toshiba HD TV. The Toshiba displays all 10 of my free / un-encoded HD channels. This card only picks up two of them, and then only sometimes, and then is a bad aspect ratio. The user software is pitiful, and painfully slow to use. It takes over 30 minutes to scan for channels, and if it does it wrong, you have to do it again and wait another 30 minutes. I used a Hauppauge card years ago and it worked fine in the days of std cable channels and Windows 98. The software interfaces haven't changed in the 7 years since I bought the last card! The configuration is difficult. How many people will know to check the boxes to allow VMR mode vice Allow Overlay / Force Primary / or DIB draw. I had to check this box to make the software not crash on my VISTA machine even though the box says to check it for WinXP only! And this config file was in an undocumented program called "Primary." The tech support person I reached at Hauppauge could care less about my problem and was not able to help me. He assured me that my card was working and that I must be doing something wrong. Card does work reliably using Windows Media Center, but still can't get the card to detect and display any High Def channels. Had an old Avermedia card whose operational software blows this card's software away. And did I mention slow? You can count to two in between channel changes. Avermedia was instant. This card is not worth it. Happauge needs to do get serious with software and possibly firmware upgrades.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 supports protection of computers in workgroups and untrusted domains using local accounts and NTLM, however in scenarios where an organization does not allow creation of local accounts this solution does not work.
System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager (DPM) now allows you to use certificates to authenticate computers in workgroups or untrusted domains. DPM supports the following data sources for certificate-based authentication when they are not in trusted domains:
DPM also supports these data sources in clustered deployments.
The following data sources are not supported:
The purpose of this article is to provide you with a walkthrough of setting up System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager and a protected server with certificate authentication. This process will cover four phases:
We are operating under the following assumptions:
1. An existing Certificate Authority (CA) and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) are already installed, online and the proper template is configured for web enrollment. See Appendix A for the steps used to create a template and enable it for web enrollment. You can request a certificate in many ways, such as using the MMC if the template is Enrolled, or via Autoenroll with Active Directory. Information on configuring the template for Enrollment or Autoenrollment can be found in Appendix B.
2. DPM is installed, healthy and functioning in the domain.
First we will have to generate a certificate with the following parameters:
These options for the template are configured on the CA for us to be able to request them.
Phase 1: Install a certificate on the DPM server
In this phase, we will request a certificate from a Certificate Authority. Once complete, the default location where the certificate is kept is the User store. This is important to note, as we will need to export this certificate from the User store to the Local Computer store for us to use it. In the example provided below, we will request the certificate via web enrollment.
1. We request a certificate from a CA.
2. Select "advanced certificate request".
3. Select "Create and Submit a request to this CA".
4. A certificate template has already been created with the following parameters as mentioned above. In this case the template name is DPM Authentication. The highlighted areas below will need to be completed.
Certificate Template: Created on the CA for us to choose for web enrollment. Name: You must specify a name. Any descriptive name will do. Key size: This selection must be at least 1024 or higher. Mark Key as exportable: This must be selected. Friendly Name: You must specify a name. Any descriptive name will do.
5. Select "Install this certificate".
6.) As mentioned the certificate is placed in the User store and we need to export and import it to the Local Computer Personal store. As such lets go ahead and add the mmc snap-in for both stores.
Verify that the certificate is in the User store. Here we see the User personal store has the certificate.
7. Move the installed certificate from the User store to the Local Computer store. This involves exporting the certificate from the User store and importing the certificate into the Local Computer store.
Exporting the certificate
Right-click the certificate and select "all tasks" then "export". The Export wizard will start, select "next". Select "Yes, export the private key", then "next".
In the next screen except the defaults and then "next".
Supply a password then select "next".
The next screen you will have to give the export cert a file name and a location.
You will note the extension of the file is *.pfx. Select "next".
Here you can see the export choices. Select "Finish".
Importing the Certificate
In the Local Computer\Personal\certificate store, right-click Certificate, All Tasks and then Import.
Select "Next" on the welcome screen. The File to import screen comes up.
Browse to the location where you saved the certificate. Click the drop-down and select "All files", or select *.pfx in order to see the certificate that you exported.
Next you will be prompted to input the password that you used to export the certificate. Make sure to select "Mark this key as exportable".
You can select the default to "Place all certificates in the following store"
Select "Next" and you will now see the "Completing the Certificate Import Wizard".
8. Now that the certificate has been created and placed into the right store, we will use PowerShell to set the DPM credentials to use the certificate. Before we do that we will need to obtain the thumbprint created for this certificate. Go to the certificate in the Local Computer\Personal\certificates store. Note the certificate now imported there. Double-click on it. Select the "Details" tab and scroll down to the thumbprint. Click the thumbprint and in the bottom pane you will see the thumbprint in use. You will have to highlight the thumbprint and copy (Ctrl+c).
Paste the thumbprint into Notepad and remove the spaces as such. This is a very important step as we will supply the thumbprint in our next step. Any spaces present in the thumbprint will cause the command to fail.
9. We will be using the thumbprint to set the DPM credentials. The syntax will be as follows:
Set-DPMCredentials –DPMServerName DPM2012.contoso.com –Type Certificate –Action Configure –OutputFilePath C:\Temp -Thumbprint 493f27f35b2105804afbd49bb5a59bf2e380e00
NOTE The syntax above will have DPM create a *.bin file that will need to be copied to the clients we are protecting. Take note of the syntax above, specifically the c:\Temp directory. A directory needs to exist ahead of time in order for the bin file to be saved to that location. You can name the directory anything you want. In this case we created one named C:\Temp.
10. Once this is done you will go to the C:\Temp directory and retrieve that bin file and copy it to the client server. Copy it to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\bin directory. It's not mandatory to copy the file to the bin directory if you do not you will need to specify the full path of the file as a value for "-DPMcredential" parameter.
Phase 2: Installing the certificate on the client
On the client we will assume that the DPM agent is already installed.
This method will be the same as it was for the DPM server and we will select the same certificate parameters as listed above. For clarity I will go over them again for the client side.
1. On the client via web enrollment "request a certificate"
2. Submit an advanced certificate request:
3. Select to "Create and submit a request to this CA
4.During the request we specify the following
5. We then choose to install the certificate. Once done, we need to open up an MMC and add the certificate snap-in for both current user and local computer. Remember that by default the certificate will be installed into the current user store.
We will need to export the certificate and import it into the Local Computer personal store. You can use the steps above to export the certificate as we did for the DPM server. Make sure to choose "Yes export the private key". Once it's exported, please import that certificate into the Local Computer store.
Phase 3: Running the setdpmserver command on the protected computer
We will now configure the protected server to recognize the DPM server as being authorized to perform backups. The DPM agent will need to be installed on the protected server before we run the setdpmserver command. If the agent is not already installed, this can be done via the DPM installation media. From the DPM media, launch setup.exe. From the DPM launch screen, choose Install DPM Protection Agent. This will install the files needed to run SetDPMServer.
Now that we have a certificate on the client server to be protected, we will need the thumbprint from the certificate properties.
1. Open up the certificate in the computer personal store that was imported and go to the details tab.
Here we will need the thumbprint of the protected server certificate. Copy the thumbprint and paste it into Notepad. Once done, remove the spaces as in the example below:
We will have to use this output as a parameter for the setdpmserver command.
2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manger\DPM\bin directory. Here we will use the following syntax:
setdpmserver –dpmCredential CertificateConfiguration_DPM01.contoso.com.bin –OutputFilePath c:\Temp -Thumbprint <ClientThumbprintWithNoSpaces>
Successful results will be displayed as below:
"CertificateConfiguration_DPM01.contoso.com.bin" is the name of the bin file copied from the DPM server to the client server. Just like on the DPM server, you will have to create or use an already existing directory for the client to save it's bin file. This bin file, once created, will be placed on the DPM server.
NOTE During the System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager beta, if you did not have the firewall turned on during this command then you would get the following error:
This is no longer an issue in the RTM release of System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager.
3. Go to the C:\Temp directory to retrieve the .bin file created and copy it to the DPM server. Again, you can copy this file to any location on the DPM server but you will need to specify the full path for the 'PSCredentials" parameter. By default, "Attach-ProductionServerwithCertificate.ps1" checks for the file in the Windows\System32 directory. If you copy the file to this directory then you can specify the filename instead of the full path.
Phase 4: Attach the Client from the DPM server
This is done not via the DPM agent management tab but rather by PowerShell. With the .bin file created by the client copied from the client to the DPM server, we will now open PowerShell and perform the attach. Once the .bin file from the client is saved to DPM, open up PowerShell and type the following command, then hit Enter:
You will see the following prompting you for values:
Supply values for the following parameters: DPMservername: DPM01 PSCredentials: CertificateConfiguration_MemberServer.bin NOTE The PSCredentials is asking for the name of the bin file created by the client. Specify the full path unless you copied the bin file to Windows\system32 directory.
IMPORTANT Upon running the Attach-ProductionServerWithCertificate.ps1 command, it is important that you specify the protected server created *.bin file. If you specify the DPM server *.bin file then you will remove all of the protected servers configured for certificate based authentication.
The attach should be completed with no issues and the protected server should show up in the DPM GUI.
NOTE If you do not place the file in the \system32 directory and you do not specify the full path then you will see the warning below.
Appendix A: Creating the DPM certificate template
To create a DPM template for web enrollment, we can copy an existing template from within the "Certificate Templates" snap-in on the Certificate Authority. We will need to pick one that is listed as client authentication and server authentication for intended purposes.
In this example above, the "RAS and IAS Server" template is selected. It is highlighted and we select "Duplicate Template". We will be prompted for a selection as below:
Leave the default at Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and click OK. Change the Template display name to something distinguishable. In this example we have chosen "DPM Authentication" as the template display name.
There also needs to be a check in the check box for "Publish certificate in Active Directory". In the Request Handling tab, the Allow private key to be exported should be selected.
Now that we've created a new template for DPM authentication, we now need to make the certificate template available for use. Open the Certificate Authority snap-in.
Right-click on "Certificate Templates" and select "New" then choose "Certificate Template to Issue".
Once this is done you will be provided with a selection of certificate templates to chose from. Select the template we created and click OK.
Appendix B: Configuring the DPM Template for Enrollment or AutoEnrollment
During the creation of the DPM certificate template, you can optionally configure it for Enrollment or Autoenrollment.
a. Selecting Enroll will allow it for selection via MMC. b. Selecting Autoenroll will allow the certificate to be automatically assigned to computers in the domain.
For Enrollment, if the request will be done directly through the MMC (much easier method), then use Build from this Active Directory information radio button. Change the drop down to use Common name, and the check the box for DNS name. Click OK to accept that.
Only if using the MMC method to request the certificate, go to the Security tab and select Enroll for Authenticated Users. Once done, close out the certificate properties.
Optionally, if Autoenroll is selected, this certificate will be automatically assigned to computers in the domain.
Now that the choice has been made to Enroll the certificates, we should now be able to request the certificate via the MMC. On a server to be protected, in the Certificates (Local Computer) snap-in, expand the Personal store and right click "certificates". Select "All tasks" then "Request New Certificate"
You should see the certificate enrollment wizard initialized.
Select "Next" and you should see the choice to select "Active Directory Enrollment Policy".
Select "Next". You should now see our template that we created as a selection.
You can expand the "Details" and see the properties.
When the properties page opens, select the "General" tab and give it a friendly name. In this example we give it the name of "DPM AuthTest"
Once you select Apply, select Next and you should see a confirmation that the certificate is installed successfully.
Go back to the Certificate Computer personal store and double click on the certificate. Select the "Certificate Path" tab. You can see the friendly name of "DPM AuthTest"
You have now requested a certificate for DPM use via MMC instead of web enrollment.

Man, I really want to debug my account... gibt's irgendwelche hil? Heeeeeeelllllpppp! (00353)214365877
I follow your blog post. I create the same certificate template.
But when I execute the command on the client server, I have the error with the ID 33234.
I have DPM 2012 SP1 UR3.
Thank you for your help.
Hello J.C.,
I have a question about the use of certificates to authenticate computers in an untrusted domain with DPM2012 R2 (4.2.1292).
We have a primary forest (domain level 2008r2) where we have a DPM2012 R2(4.2.1292) server running on Windows 2012R2. We also have a second forest (domain level 2012) running in a separate network. These networks are not connected, they share no DNS, and there
are no trust relations. Currently we use client protection with NTLM authentication to back-up data in the second forest to our DPM2012 server in our primary forest. We want to replace the NTLM authentication with certificate authentication. To achieve this
we used the following guide:
The network traffic between the DPM server, the CA and the servers in de second forest is allowed and the FQDN's are placed in the host files. The CA (enterprise) server is installed on a 2008R2 DC with default settings, web enrollment is used. If we follow
the guide within the primary forest and use a Windows 2008 server DPM target then everything works directly and smoothly. If we try to run the procedure on a Windows 2012 R2 server in the second forest then we get an error when we run (phase 4) Attach-ProductionServerWithCertificate.ps1
on the DPM2012 server with the error:
There is failure while attaching production server with certificates C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\DPM\DPM\bin\Attach-ProductionServerWithCertificate.ps1 : DPM CPWrapper Service on the servername.LOCAL computer has encountered a failure and
may be in an unusable state. Exception Message = The socket connection was aborted
Is there any advice you can offer, and can someone confirm this is a supported scenario.
what needs to be done on. seconday dpm for workgroup protection?

Comment: Re:Not the Republicans, but certainly the Neo-cons (Score 1) 84 84
Republicans aren't what they used to be.
GWB puts shame on the whole party.
I don't know what is worse, that he is acting as if he has a mandate when he just barely one, and some are even contesting the legitimacy of the election, or that the media doesn't seem to be questioning this.
Politicians have always been scumbags, but while they used to be wallowing in a Cesspool scumbags, now they are wallowing in a septic tank scumbags.
Think about it. Compared to what is happening today, was I really that bad of a President?
Republican and Democrat politicians are scumbags. The media are a bunch of scumbags. The people, well I guess the people are just stupid, or at least deluded. But there are a few good, and smart people here and there, and you can't tell who they based soley on if they are a Republican or a Democrat.
I think the Democrats want their party back too.

It's still early to be making any sweeping statements, but this product could have a huge impact on the developed world's obesity epidemic.

'Walking Dead' companion series script coming 'any moment,' says Gale Anne HurdAdd to Favorites | The Walking Dead
All is quiet on the "Walking Dead" companion series front, but that might not be the case for very long. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd tell Zap2it during a San Diego Comic-Con 2014 interview that Robert Kirkman, who penned the story, and "Sons of Anarchy" writer Dave Erickson are expected to deliver a script "any moment."
AMC announced the companion series in September 2013, and since then there have been few details about what the show will actually be about. Hurd says there's no target date for having the story delivered, because "we'd rather have it right than right now."
Though Hurd kept mum on specific story points, she did say the new show is "not the same city, it's not the same cast." As for the tone, "it's not going to be a musical comedy, it's not going to be a satire, but it is going to be essentially following other characters -- and not characters from the comic book either."
There's also a chance the companion series might not follow the ensemble format "The Walking Dead" does so well either. "Given that the world lends itself to having multiple characters, I don't know that it's going to be as large an ensemble," Hurd admits. "I'm sure that we'll be following more than one [character]."
"The Walking Dead" Season 5 premieres on Oct. 12, 2014 on AMC.

Remember when we wondered aloud whether the Times was trying to imply that there is something less than masculine about Gossip Girl star
Chace Crawford Nate Archibald? Well, apparently he heard us, because when he went out on the town to do a similar article with Canada's National Post, he was careful to choose a bottle of Steam Whistle, a local brew. "This is a great beer," he told reporter Shinan Govani, who dutifully OMG-ed. "I love Canada." Naaaaate, don't change who you are because of the pressures of the media! We love you just the way you are, you shrimp-and-avocado-salad eater, you. In fact, one of the things we love about you is your wispy haircut. Unlike Zac Efron's well-conditioned, floppy version, Nate's bangs have a dried-out, Aquanetted look that surely doesn't require obnoxious, ponylike head flicks to handle. Govani agrees with us, declaring in the National Post story that Crawford is the icon of the latest male-bangs movement. He says that he's given masculine dudes everywhere the confidence to get new, more fashion-forward dos. Now that's more like it. Let's all get behind Nate's heterosexuality, huh? Govani even has a new nickname for Nate: Mr. Man-Bangs! Hey, wait
Meet Mr. Man-Bangs [National Post]

CEDAR RAPIDS The Indian Creek Nature Center formally announced its 6.9 million dollar Amazing Space rebuild project Tuesday.
The new nature center will feature a sustainable campus, outdoor amphitheater, and butterfly house.
In addition, nationally-certified outdoor Nature Explore classrooms will be available to area kids.
Getting kids to learn, getting families to experience all the great things nature has to offer, that's really why we exist, said John Myers, executive director of Indian Creek Nature Center.
The project is expected to break ground in spring 2015, and be completed by the end of 2016.
It also will be the only Living Building, in the United States. That means 100% of the electricity used will be generated on site and geothermal technology will heat and cool the building.
We committed to sustainable principles many, many years ago, Myers said. But now we're seeking a certification called the Living Building Challenge,' and it challenges buildings to look to true sustainability.
The new center will be located a half mile away from the current nature center on Otis Road SE.

Yahoo is regaining its appeal among investors a lot faster than with the online advertisers who generate most of its revenue but the Internet company's third-quarter numbers released Tuesday are the latest to underscore the challenges facing CEO Marissa Mayer even as Yahoo's stock continues to soar under her leadership. The shares have more than doubled since Yahoo lured Mayer away from rival Google Inc. 15 months ago,largely because investors prize Yahoo's 24 per cent stake in Chinese Internet star Alibaba Group Holding.
Alibaba is already making far more money than Yahoo while growing at a rapid pace that bodes well for the future. Yahoo is leaning on Alibaba and another investment in Yahoo Japan for most of its income,a trend highlighted again in the latest quarter.
Yahoo Inc.,meanwhile,is still struggling to revive its revenue growth even though marketers are spending more on online ads. Most of that money,though,is flowing to search leader Google and social networking front-runner Facebook Inc. Both of those companies have built addictive services and networks that have proven to be more effective marketing vehicles.
After subtracting the commissions paid to its partners,Yahoo's ad revenue during the three months ending in September dipped by 2 percent from the same time last year.
"It was a pretty dismal quarter," said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis. "They are very fortunate to have Alibaba."
A change in the way Yahoo will eventually have to sell its Alibaba holdings seemed to please investors. Under a new arrangement announced Tuesday,Yahoo will now be required to sell 208 million of its Alibaba shares in an IPO widely expected to occur next year. That's down from 261.5 million under a deal reached 17 months ago. The revised terms will be a boon for Yahoo if Alibaba's stock soars above its IPO price,as often happens with promising technology stocks.
Yahoo's stock gained 26 cents to $33.64 in extended trading after Tuesday's news came out.
Mayer,38,is pleading for patience to get Yahoo's own business in better shape,saying it may take another year or two before Yahoo's sales are growing at the same rate as the overall market. In the first half of this year,Internet ad spending climbed 18 percent from the same period in 2012.
In an online video presentation Tuesday,Mayer sought to shift the focus to signs that Web surfers are relishing the changes she has been making to Yahoo's products. Her revisions are an attempt to bring in more people on mobile devices and persuade them to stick around for longer periods of time. She said the number of digital pages on Yahoo's services is now back to the levels of two years ago and predicted ad spending will eventually rebound,too.
"I am more encouraged than ever in Yahoo's potential for growth in both the near and long-term," Mayer said. "It will take some time for increased engagement to translate into revenue but I'm confident we are on the right track."
Mayer's optimism couldn't mask the third-quarter declines in both of Yahoo's advertising categories: The Sunnyvale,Calif. company sold fewer display ads at lower …continued »

Re: Day Of Defeat: Source this month, with HDR!
I understand the disappointment of CE owners.. but a few things:
1) valve hates vivendi. they arent going to add more to retail packages than they needed to by contract. they wanted to lure people to use steam so vivendi would make less -- hence getting DOD with the silver/gold packages.
2) it was no secret what games were included with each version. those of us who knew we wanted DOD for SURE included with our purchase went silver or gold.
3) you can still buy DOD:S as an upgrade to your current account (the price seems reasonable) or you can buy the more expenseive CS/DOD retail pack.
i think at this point a lot of people are mad because valve "gives away" a lot of stuff with their games that people expect DOD:S to be free. well unfortunately not this time... :-\

Sony Opens Android Developer Site
Site created with Google TV in mind.
Sony becomes the first third-party manufacturer to open an Android development site based around the Google TV platform. The development site launch coincides with Sony's demonstration of its first line of Google TV-powered products. Sony is the first television manufacturer to incorporate Google's television search indexing and Internet browsing platform directly into their televisions with four HDTVs in 24-, 32-, 40-, and 46-inch models. Sony has also announced a Blu-Ray player with Google TV onboard that costs around US$ 400.
With Google TV running a modified version of Android 2.2, the platform features its own, specific apps such as a Netflix, CNBC, NBA Game Time, and an Amazon.com app for streaming media, but the platform is also compatible with smartphone apps, which can be downloaded from an Android user's phone onto the platform via the cloud. Google TV apps can also be purchased from the App Marketplace on a desktop and pushed directly to the platform.
There's nothing much to do on Sony's developer site at this time. Developers can register a developer account and then will receive updates when additional tools go live on the dev site. As Google TV gains popularity, expect more sites like Sony's to pop up in the future.

COLUMBIA - Whatever sweat Mike Davis worked up had long evaporated by the time he plopped in a chair to chat with the media after South Carolina's spring game.
His white skull cap and Gamecocks T-shirt were dry. His shoulder pads were long removed. There wasn't much reason for a trainer to wash them, not with two first-quarter carries and the rest of the afternoon standing on the sideline.
It was an easy spring for the most talented player on South Carolina's football roster. Davis summarized his offseason with one startling word.
"Relaxing," he said.
The real work happened away from the field. In the hallway underneath Williams-Brice Stadium, following the Gamecocks' spring game April 12, the junior tailback waited outside the media room with senior quarterback Dylan Thompson. They passed time talking about different defenses, what to do against certain formations.
Davis can regurgitate the information like a veteran. It's a sign of how far he's come in a short time. A year ago, he wasn't a household name. Davis was interlocked in one of the fiercest positional battles on the team, trying to earn the right to follow legendary running back Marcus Lattimore.
Now, Davis is a star. Nobody doubts it. No reason for extra reps in the spring when a heavy workload is coming this fall.
"Mentally, studying film, looking at the things I can do better," Davis said of his offseason goals. "Basically, reading defenses, knowing what's going to come. . Seeing the things that I was (seeing) last year, being able to just recognize it more easily."
By the time South Carolina opened spring practice, Davis was healthy after injuring his ankle at the Capital One Bowl in January. Instead of taking a physical beating, he put his focus and energy into "mental reps," continuing to learn the game.
He hopes it helps him build off a breakout sophomore year. Davis led the SEC in rushing at the season's halfway mark, before multiple injuries limited his production in November. Still, his 1,183 rushing yards were just 16 fewer than Lattimore's career high with the Gamecocks, exceeding almost everyone's expectations.
That doesn't mean Spurrier will stop prodding his star, urging him to improve. Asked what Davis needs to do better this fall, the Head Ball Coach didn't hesitate.
"Not fumbling!" Surrier said, bold and brash like always. "Oh, you're not supposed to say that, are you?"
He paused.
"Ball security! That's what he needs to concentrate on. We lost that one at UCF. We lost one at Missouri on the 2-yard line. Somehow or another, we came back and won those game, but that's going to cost you one. If you keep fumbling on the 2-yard line, you're going to come out a loser someday. We escaped those, but Mike knows that. He knows that. He's a very good runner, powerful runner. Just a little extra ball security."
Davis, who lost all three of his fumbles last season, was relayed Spurrier's critique. He smiled, knowingly.
"The game he looks at the most, I would say, is the Central Florida game where I fumbled it on the 1-yard line, and I could've had a record four touchdowns," Davis said. "He never lets that go."
Davis said he had no fumbles this spring, not that there were many opportunities to carry the football. If he stays healthy and corrects the only blemish in his game, there's no telling what heights next season could lift him. Davis certainly seems to think so.
On Sunday, he sent out a tweet foreshadowing what may be ahead.
"The best is yet to come."

'An Awful, Awful Thing'
For folks in the suburbs, April showers bring daffodils. For New Yorkers, they bring piles of disposable umbrellas made in China. I must have three or four at home—those black, generic fold-ups that cost $4 at the deli (or $3 on the street, or $5 when it's raining). You know the model: It turns inside out at will, it's barely wide enough to shelter a troll and the faux-pebble handle resembles a deformed talon from some monstrous bird of prey.
Shopkeepers say that customers who buy them often offer an excuse: "I left my real umbrella at home." No one wants to be seen with the $4 umbrella. It's like eating at home with plastic forks—it doesn't say "frugal," it says "flaky and cheap."
Still, based on a highly scientific survey that entailed counting on the street, I'd say roughly one in eight umbrellas carried in this town is of the $4 variety. Assuming the average person buys two umbrellas a year, that's roughly 1.3 million rain roaches hiding in our desk drawers and closets, and every time there's a strong wind, half that stash winds up in the trash or tossed on sidewalks. I've often wondered—is anyone getting rich off this mess?
I started by asking a handful of deli owners and newsstand attendants. The $4 umbrella, it turns out, is a strong seller that offers a decent profit margin. John Woo, who says he sells 10 $4 umbrellas a week at Lee's Apple Tree on Brooklyn's Court Street, says they cost $2 wholesale. He once offered a nicer, $7 model, but the margins were smaller and they didn't move. "It's painful to buy a $7 umbrella and lose it the same day," he surmised. "This one does the same job."
The retail guys all said they buy their umbrellas on West 27th Street. Nearly every store on this wholesale strip between Sixth and Seventh avenues, it turns out, carries the notorious bumbershoot. At Chanon Inc., where I bought a carton of 12 for $16, Kwong Ip estimated that there are 50 local wholesalers selling the identical model. But when asked about the importer, he clammed up: "I cannot tell you." I wondered how much he paid. "That is my secret."
Down the block, a manager at Manhattan Wholesalers told me his supplier imports a whole shipping container—66,000 umbrellas—every two weeks. The Chinese factory, he says, sells them for $9 a dozen; the importer tacks on a few dollars, and the wholesaler adds another buck. While he, too, declined to reveal his source, he showed me a stack of umbrella boxes piled high in the front, alongside cases of Orange Crush. Finally, I had the product name: "Umbrella For Man."
Armed with the proper nomenclature, I tried one last wholesaler. He told me to search online. "Why don't you try umbrella-factory-in-China-dot-com?"
I think he was making fun of me. But the online hunt was a good suggestion. When I searched for Chinese umbrellas on Alibaba.com, a site that connects buyers with overseas manufacturers, one of the top results looked just like the infamous $4 umbrella. It's made by Shangyu Ping'an Umbrella Co., a factory in China's Zhejiang province. If you buy direct (minimum order, 5,000 pieces), the "Umbrella For Man" can be had for as little as 85 cents. I requested a price quote and crossed my fingers.
Meanwhile, I walked over to Rain or Shine, the Midtown umbrella store, to meet Gilbert Center. Mr. Center, 87 years old, grew up making umbrellas in his father's shop, Essex Umbrella Corp. Back in the 1930s, New York was home to a dozen umbrella makers; they relocated to 32nd Street from the Lower East Side before the industry moved overseas. Now, the only umbrella making that goes on in this town is in Mr. Center's Brooklyn workshop. He does repairs and custom jobs—he made the umbrellas for "Wicked" and "Spamalot."
'They make a good computer, why can't they make a good umbrella?'
When I presented the $4 umbrella to Mr. Center, he popped it open and made a terrible face. "It's an awful, awful thing," he said. "I wouldn't call it an umbrella."
Peggy Levee, who owns Rain or Shine, folded her arms and nodded. "It's an insult to the industry."
Mr. Center wasn't done. "It's an awful thing," he said again, shaking his head at just how awful it was. "You're better off using a newspaper."
He enumerated the canopy's defects: the metal fittings are actually plastic. The fabric is cheap, coated polyester. A decent umbrella has five tacks binding the fabric to each rib; this model has three.
The two evaluated a second deli umbrella and agreed that the compact, tri-fold "ladies" model represents a step up in quality for the same price, but still isn't up to snuff. Mr. Center wondered about the folks overseas: "They make a good computer, why can't they make a good umbrella?"
I made a half-hearted effort to get a comment from Shangyu Ping'an Umbrella Co., but my emails were all countered by a sales rep offering increasingly better deals on a 5,000-piece shipment. I asked my editor about visiting the factory, but he said that unless Zhejiang is in one of the five boroughs, I could save myself the trip. Stingy!
I know you are as curious as me about the company, so I did do some online sleuthing. Going by the photo on the factory's website, the umbrellas are made in a beautiful lakeside temple surrounded by lush natural woodlands under a cloudless blue sky. Who knew? The company statement is also reassuring: "We survive on high quality, tell and urge grasping sincerely aim on develop, wholeheartedly joyous to meet the masses of old and new customers."
Try to keep this in mind the next time your umbrella turns inside out.

Pretty soon Samsung is going to own the entire ecosystem. Google is ensuring that margins stay razor thin. They're going to have to cut manufacturers in on their profits from content and advertising. A race to the bottom does not excite me.
It's only destructive if the Nexus 4 is successful. To the mass market I don't think it will be, even though it's a very cool phone.
To your average Joe/Sally comparing a Windows, Apple, and Google phone it is one of the most expensive out there (because afaik they aren't offering it subsidized) and it doesn't have LTE. Not a recipe for success.

Weed for one, an herbal remedy for another! I am very angry with myself, as I should know the name of the first one. Comes out early spring, as it was once used as an early cough remedy. That and carving out a suede I sem to remember doing over 30 years ago when the children were young! The second one is Borage. The leaves are rather prickly and rough, but the bees love it. Borage and Comfrey are very similar. Both excellent for the bees, and for adding to recycling bins. Comfrey you can make liquid compost from, but Monty Don says it stinks!
Ah! I cheat then. The perennial weeds go in the council compost wheelie bin. Heat...sun No we don't get them here, unless it is when I am at work in the middle of a warehouse taking calls all day long. I don't see the outside world then. Bang on retirement, only another 5 years!
I had 2 compost bins then a work colleague gave me another bigger one. Oh how I save every veg and fruit scrap, used tissues and a bit of cardboard to make sure I keep these bins well supplied.The weed we clear from the pond is also put in them as well. I have even started buying a box of veg from my local farm store to eat healthily, but also to put any left overs on the heap .I cannot get enough compost and still have to buy bags of it, as well as the horse manure from another work colleague. Yes it has made a big difference. Also I have started planting higher plants, and not just the low, ground cover ones as when I first started. Be bold and go for it!
This time of year I have a number of small fungi on my back lawn,and I love to see them there. I don't touch them, just have a good look and pass on. Nature has a purpose for everything and I just hate the fact mankind seems to want to kill or destroy everything it does not understand. Not having a go at anyone on this site, just a bee I have in my bonnet!
Being so cold and wet in Tiverton, our plants are always struggling to flower before the winter frosts, and only now any annual geraniums I bought for the pots are showing buds. So I stick to hardies and perenials that come back every year. This has been through trial and error, and too many favourite plants being eaten by the ever present slugs in our draughty garden !
I bubble wrapped around each pot in my plastic green houses last year, rather than the greenhouse itself. They would have survived and all did very well, until the slugs got them and destroyed the lot! I was heart broken. The large pots I cannot move I actually put hay in the last 2 years. They got very soggy, but seems to have helped the plants and climbers survive. We do ge tvery cold and very wet here.
Where ever I have moved there has never been anything in the garden. Neither plant, bird nor bee. So I have always had to start from scratch. But as my brother pointed out I have always left a garden full of food for these insects and birds.7 years later, I have done it again! Also a pond for any other vertebrae that might need to eat and breed. All we could do with in Tiverton is some sunshine and warmth, but as there is a shortage of this I plant what does grow
I love the way Alys Fowler seems to garden. She doesn't differentiate between plants and veg. She just puts them all in the same beds. Mature plants mean established insects which will help you in years to come. Join the local library, read up as much as you can, see what suits your style. My husband is always talking about weed killers and pesticides. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM think of the bees, we have hundreds visiting my flowers and plants.
My grand daughter loved the red rum joke. She read it to her grand dad.
Could be eaten by slugs. Slugs eat every thing in my garden. Or did. I am afraid husband has declared war on them this year! He couldn't stand seeing me so upset when all my plants were eaten every year so far. A bearded iris we planted at the edge of our pond with feet in water did brilliantly.I though it was a common purple one when we planted it last year, but turned out to be a large cream/white one. Monty would have been proud!

With his success, Christie forever embedded himself and his unique three-octave vocal range into American musical history.
Highlights from Christie's performing career include touring on Dick Clark's "Caravan of Stars," performing on the hit television show "American Bandstand," and performing for Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family. Christie has shared the stage with numerous artists, including The Rolling Stones, The Who, Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis.
In 2004, Christie released his first concert album, "Greatest Hits Live at the Bottom Line."
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Coast Casinos box office, by calling 702.636.7075, or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.

South Shore restaurants, rebuilt after Sandy
Take a walk through Long Island's South Shore towns and you may have a hard time believing that, a mere eight months ago, superstorm Sandy set tables and refrigerators floating down streets, ripped out sections of buildings and submerged entire kitchens and dining rooms. It took superhuman strength -- of spirit and body -- to navigate the insurance maze, renovate and rebuild. Although many restaurants never made that comeback, a surprisingly large number have. --JOAN REMINICK, firstname.lastname@example.com
