Salon regrets the error.

[Correction made 11/25/13]
The Nov. 13 story "Corporate America's new scam: Industry P.R. firm poses as think tank! inadvertently confused the American Beverage Association (ABA) with the American Beverage Institute (ABI).

The Nov. 3 story "Stop Calling JFK Conservative" mistakenly stated that a Kennedy Supreme Court nominee who'd written the dissent in Roe v.

It also erroneously suggested that Bauman tried to solicit sex from an underage male prostitute; but the male in question was 16, an adult under the laws of Washington, D.C. Bauman also did not resign from his reelection campaign; he lost in the general election. Salon regrets the errors. [Correction made 7/4/12]
The June 23, 2012, story "LGBT's Worst Foe: The Closet Monster" incorrectly said which state former U.S. Rep. Ed Schrock represented. He was a Republican from Virginia. We also had a photo of the wrong man accompanying the post. Both mistakes have been corrected. [Correction made 6/25/12]

The June 20, 2011, story "Could Flogging Solve Our Prison Crisis" initially stated that "the Corrections Corporation of America helped draft anti-immigration laws," a reference to the draft legislation that later became Arizona SB 1070.

The story has been corrected. [Correction made 3/8/12]

The Feb. 28 article "Proactiv's Celebrity Shell Game" incorrectly suggested that Dr. Benabio said the "before and after" pictures used by Proactiv were Photoshopped. The dermatologist did not make that claim. Further, the basic Proactiv system costs $19.95, not $59.95, as the article originally stated. Salon regrets the errors. [Correction made 3/21/11]
We have altered the language of the Dec. 30 story "Judith Miller: From the Times to the Nuts" after several media outlets amended their coverage and we received a request from Newsmax. We never intended to imply that its business practices violate any laws. [Correction made 1/18/11]
2010 Corrections
The Dec. 16 story "Keith Olbermann 'suspends' Twitter account over Assange furor" incorrectly stated that Assange had been charged in the rape case in Sweden. He had been arrested in London on an extradition warrant, but had not been charged. [Correction made 12/16/10.]
The Sept. 6 story "Inside the Strange World of Hoarders" stated that the Beales in the film "Grey Gardens" were sisters. They were mother and daughter. [Correction made 9/7/10.]
Joan Walsh's Aug. 25 blog post "Beck has a scheme" was originally accompanied by an iconic photo of Martin Luther King Jr. that was mistakenly used and attributed to the Library of Congress. The photo is actually the copyrighted work of Bob Adelman/Magnum Photos. Salon regrets the error. [Correction made 8/26/10]
The story "Jon Stewart Was Born to Bash Obama" contained three inaccuracies: Stewart began his "Daily Show" tenure in 1999, so the assertion that he had never done the job during a Democratic presidency was incorrect. The "Daily Show" segment on Obama's All Star pitch aired on July 15, 2009, not June 15, 2009. And the banner displayed during a satiric bit on the BP oil spill read "Commission Accomplished," not "Mission Accomplished." Salon regrets the errors. [Correction made 6/23/10]
The June 16 Broadsheet post "Study: Fat Women Starved of Sex" originally stated that "obese men had just as much nookie as average guys." It should have read, "obese men were just as likely to have had a sexual partner in the last 12 months as average guys." [Correction made 6/16/10]
The May 17 Broadsheet post "Miss USA Stripping Scandal: How Shocking!" incorrectly stated that Miss Nevada Katie Rees lost her title after the emergence of a "hardcore pornographic photo shoot." The photos in question were not actually pornographic. The story has been corrected. [Correction made 5/17/10]
The May 3 story "United and Continental Tie the Knot" mistakenly said that United and Continental logged 177 million and 133 million revenue passenger kilometers, respectively. That should be 17.7 billion and 13.3 billion. The story has been corrected. [Correction made 5/11/10]
A Broadsheet item about blogger Judith Torrea said that the death toll from the drug war in Ciudad Juárez was roughly 22,700. That is the figure for all of Mexico. The correct death toll for Juárez is roughly 4,324. The story has been corrected. [Correction made 4/15/10]

The Feb. 3 "James O'Keefe's Race Problem" reported that O'Keefe, the
conservative activist arrested on charges he plotted to tamper with
Sen. Mary Landrieu's phone lines, helped plan a conference on "Race
and Conservatism" that featured white nationalist Jared Taylor. The
freelance photographer who attended the event, and snapped O'Keefe's
photo there, now says the right-wing provocateur helped out at the
conference, but cannot confirm that he helped plan it. The story has been corrected.
The article also said that O'Keefe was terminated by the right-wing
Leadership Institute in 2008, after videos were released of O'Keefe
calling Planned Parenthood and offering to donate money to abort
black babies. He was let go in 2007. Leadership Institute co-founder Morton Blackwell told the New York Times O'Keefe "wanted to do
sting operations that would affect legislation; he made some calls
which have been covered in the news media to Planned Parenthood. That
was beyond the scope of what we had hired him to do. We are an
educational organization. We are not an activist organization." Blackwell says he told O'Keefe to choose between his job and his activism, "and he said he was committed to the activism," according to the Times. The
date of O'Keefe's termination has been corrected, and Blackwell's
explanation has been added to the story.
Also, David Almasi is the director of Project 21, not the founder, as originally

2009 Corrections
In Stephanie Zacharek's Dec. 9 review of "A Single Man," it was incorrectly
stated that Tom Ford designed for Yves Saint Laurent before moving to

acquired by Gucci in 1999. [Correction made 12/14/09]
In the Dec. 9 story, Price Check: Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label the article misstated the price differences between retail bottles of wine, and restaurant bottles. The price difference numbers provided included an erroneous extra 100%.

There is a newspaper columnist of the same name, but he is a different person. [Correction made 12/8/09]
The Aug. 14 story "Whose side of the road are you on," incorrectly stated that Samoa was the first country to change the side of the road it drove on since 1967. In fact, Iceland made the change in 1968 and Burma in 1970. [Correction made 8/13/09]
In the Aug. 12 story "Obama's Healthcare Horror," we incorrectly said that the White House counsel had been fired. In fact, there has been speculation in the press reports that the White House counsel will be fired — but he has not been. [Correction made 8/13/09]

Hamilton, were ineligible for the presidency because of the
circumstances of their birth. This paragraph was inaccurate and has been
deleted from the story. [Correction made 7/29/09]

The March 4 story "Predatory Lending With a Smiley Face" stated that "no-doc, option ARM, cash-out and other toxic mortgages" were still advertised on mortgage broker Ty Youngblood's Web site at the time of the story's publication.

Margie Pizarro knows what it means to struggle.
It's easy to see why a person might not think so after meeting her: the Summerville entrepreneur has three college degrees and founded her own law practice, Pizarro Law Firm; her wide smile and acute sense of fashion combined with her vibrant personality and empathetic heart prove she's beautiful inside and out; she's a mother of four; and she's a community philanthropist, volunteer and mentor.
But her story today is far different from when she moved to Summerville nine years ago, and Pizarro said she gladly tells the tale to anyone who will listen.
"If I can do it, anyone can do it," she said. "I always say that I want to write a book and if I do it will be called '$500 and a Car Full of Children' because that's all I had… and a dream."
That dream has gotten Pizarro far.
Far from her childhood in Walterboro, S.C., where she was raised in poverty by a single mother.
Far from becoming a young, single mother herself after one year at Clemson University.
Far from working as a 5th grade teacher in Greenville County.
Far from paying her way through a master's program at Columbia College while raising four children.
"I was in my twenties with four kids and no money and I just said to myself 'honey, this is not working for me!' and I made a change."
Pizarro credits her success to a combination of elements, including the help of community members who "embraced us" when her family arrived and her own determination and work ethic.
"People look for opportunities to help the underdog, and that's what I've always been," she said with a smile.
Pizarro is now looking for her own opportunities to help the "underdog," an approach she's adopted into her professional endeavors.
"I never really turn anybody down [as a client] if they don't have any money. I tell my clients that if you invest in your case, I will invest in you."
The mentality has fueled her community involvements, too.
"My story is one of hard work and determination. If you make the decision that you won't be deterred, then you will make it," she said. "People ask me all the time 'how do you do it?'… I don't know, I just do stuff."
For the self-described multitasker, that "stuff" includes being an active parent in her children's schools, working on the YEScarolina board of directors and as a mentor with the program, serving on the Columbia College board of visitors, and learning to dance for The ARK's Dancing with the ARK Stars last year, to name a few.
She said her involvements all come down to the reason we're here: "Our purpose in life is to help someone else."
And yet, despite all of her professional, personal and philanthropic accomplishments, Pizarro says she still wants more.
"I am happy where I am, I see where I could be, but I am by no means satisfied."
What does satisfy Pizarro?
She spoke with a smile of her goal to improve Pizarro Law Firm by taking on more complicated cases, her hope to write a book about her life, and her dream of one day sharing her unbreakable spirit with others by becoming a motivational speaker.
"My world view is that there's more of a difference that I can make," she said.
I don't know what that is yet, but I know I'm poised to make that happen whenever it comes along."

In Gmail every built-in view (e.g.: inbox, trash, read mail) is actually a label. So if you want to view all the unread messages from the inbox, you could search for: label:inbox label:unread.
You can combine these built-in labels with your labels and create interesting queries. But these queries can become long and hard to write. Fortunately, you can replace label with l and everything with still work fine. The previous query will become: l:inbox l:unread.
If you still think the query is too long, Gmail has shortcuts for the special labels.
^b chats
^f sent mail
^i inbox
^k trash
^r draft
^s spam
^t starred messages
^u unread mail
That means our query could become: l:^i l:^u. What about all the unread messages that aren't in the inbox? Search for: -l:^i l:^u.

A 1,700 mile bike ride to protest the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline has all but consumed Tom Weis since he set forth on his journey from the United States - Canadian boarder in Montana in mid-October of this year to follow the route of the purposed pipeline until he reaches Houston, TX towards the end of Christmas.
A 1,700 mile bike ride to protest the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline has all but consumed Tom Weis since he set forth on his journey from the United States - Canadian boarder in Montana in mid-October of this year to follow the route of the purposed pipeline until he reaches Houston, TX towards the end of Christmas.
Weis and his cohort, Ron Seifert, stopped in Antlers on Monday, December 5, 2011 to continue to spread the word about the wrong doings they feel are taking place at the hands of Big Oil. Although the weather wasn't favorable, both men were in a chipper mood as they shared their points of view.
Weis's had chosen to ride a route that closely follows the proposed TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline route that would connect parts of Canada to Port Arthur, TX. The proposed path would travel through an ecologically sensitive area that spreads over part of the Ogallala Aquifer and has been a lightning rod for opposition throughout the breadbasket of the Nation.
During their travels, Weis and Seifert have seen an outcry from environmentalists and landowners who are completely opposed to the proposed pipeline to transfer the Tar Sands across the breadbasket of the Nation into Port Arthur, where most of it will be exported to other countries.
Weis, of Boulder, CO., has made it his mission to keep informing American citizens of the truth about what this extension would mean when they fail to protect our nation's heartlands.
When Weis arrived in Antlers he was in his "rocket trike," a reclined tricycle with a bright yellow, submarine-shaped protective shell and small solar panels to power his lights and iPhone. So far, Weis said, the response has been very supportive, especially among the Native American communities along the way. Most of the people he meets don't know enough about the project, he said, but once he fills them in on the tar sands and the potential risk to groundwater, they often come to oppose it.
"We don't need to be building a tar sands pipeline for a foreign corporation," he said. "They reap the, however small and un-practical, benefits and our nation will have all the risks and devastation of thousands of miles of natural wildlife and foliage."
Part of what Weis is doing is talking to people along his trip, during which he covers 60 to 80 miles a day. During his trip, he spends about one-third of his nights in tents, one-third in motels and one-third with friends he meets along the way.
"I am meeting with ranchers, landowners, farmers along the pipeline route," he said.
He is putting videos of those conversations on YouTube and updates his website and facebook account regularly.
"Ranchers and farmers are really deeply dismayed by how they have been treated and disrespected by TransCanada," he said. "They are making a lot of people really angry."
One concern he has is the oil from the tar sands that will be flowing through the pipeline, as well as the fact he said once refined, this oil will be shipped overseas.
"There's nothing about it in America's interest," Weis said.
Instead of building the pipeline, he said America needs to be launching its own green energy industrial revolution, which he believes would put people back to work.
"We should use oil for the highest purpose rather than to propel vehicles when there are alternatives," he said. "The government is subsidizing the wrong industries."
"My feeling is we need a green energy moon shot," he said. "We have the technology; we have the know how – we need to ramp it up as a nation, " said Weis. "I want to plant seeds of resistance from Canada to Texas. I am hoping to galvanize enough Americans to stand up and say no."
He wants to get more Americans involved than just those who live along the route of the pipeline because if this is approved it will affect the entire Nation. And when it has a leak or spill, and it is a when not an if, our Nation's drinking and irrigation water will be contaminated along with the land.
"We've got to fight this. We've got to put Obama on the line. We need to put heat on President Obama now and demand an answer," he said. "The president's job is to protect America. Let's block this tar sands pipeline and get on with leading the world with a green industrial revolution."
His ride, called the "Keystone XL Tour of Resistance," is sponsored by All Earth Renewable, All Sun Trackers and EcoWatch. He blogs everyday on his Web site RideforRenewables.com. where there is also an online petition people can sign.

I love that so many people have said Juniper. That and Marigold are my favorite girl names, but my husband would not be too keen on them.
For a boy, Kass. My mother despises it, but I just picture him growing up into an introverted, intelligent rock star. Haha...
Not sure if this one has been mentioned..... Atticus
from To Kill A Mockingbird
Couldn't do it but like it :)
Back to add two to the girl list of rejected names:
I love both, but we already have an Elliot...
Distraction is not the same thing as play.

DS1, 8 years. DS2, 6 years. DS3, 2 years. DD1, due April 2015
I'm a very traditional namer, but every since I was pg with my son I have LOVED the name Paisley for a girl.
I'm 99% sure I would never have the courage to use it, though.
Sleepy mama to Colin Theodore 8-12-08 and Trevor Arthur 7-17-12.
I know a Paisley and I like it. I never thought it was a weird name, just not common. Use it. :)
Mama to three
I was looking through some genealogy information that my uncle printed out for me a couple of years ago. Here were some names I found interesting:
Tavender (This will be the name I pick if we are having a boy)
Redding (If only I knew my child would be a jazz musician!)
Absolom ( I LOVE this name)
Marcella (Like from the Robert E.E.Martin novels!)
Prudence (Always loved this name)
Just though I'd share. I picked Tavender because he was the uncle my grandfather always told stories about and I loved the name! Pretty interesting to think about. I bet some of these names people would jump on these days!
Artist wife to . Mom to DSS (3 yrs) and DD (04/12). (2/28/10).
csekywithlove: Wow! That's one neat family tree! Mine's all full of people named John. Johns everywhere. I poked around in our genealogical records (such as they are) for inspiration when naming DS, but there was absolutely nothing exciting (well, unless I wanted to go for Fergus). Clearly your ancestors were far more creative than mine!
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.

Honestly, I was pretty shocked. I believe that my mother's family tree wasn't as creative. If any ladies find these interesting, go for it! We are all about unique names in our family and have been for a while, apparently!

Also have a Jett and Storm.....middle names only:(
Living happily on a little island in the sun
I love Raine and River for a boy and Willow for a girl but DH said no.
My DH is Serbian and my Fav Serbian name for a boy is Vuk it means Wolf and when I suggested it for this bubba DH liked it. I can't think of a middle name to go with it however.
I loved the name Lilly actually Lilly Marlene was our choice if DS was a girl but now it is really popular.
Scarlett , DH Boris , DS 1/29/08 Julian DD2 6/7/12 missing our DD 1/06/06 Sonja and MC @ 9 wks 11/18/06 Satchel
alethea, my best friend (female) is named Eleri :) i really like the name.
Atticus is actually on our short list. i have always loved it and DP thinks it's awesome. it's pretty much the only name we are agreeing on, but i would still rather name a boy Rueben.
Karla (25), loving having and growing a family: my amazing DP, DS (2), DSD (7). Expecting my second early May and so excited to
Cool. I am enjoying going through this whole thread! I just made a thread earlier (HERE) about the "way out there" names I am so attracted to. I am not too chicken, I think.... There is some spark going off for me this time, and I am really jazzed by unique names and combos!
my baby #4 is Zayd, my baby name for him is Zaydie, like singing funny little baby songs and stuff :) I of course am partial to it.
Most of these are on the no list for us because they have been nixed by my mainstream-name-loving DH.
Boy names:
Odysseus (Odys for short, like Otis)
August (family name, but just too heavy for a little boy, I feel)
Paxton (turns out this is the name of the local elementary school near us after a recent move. Dang!)
Girl names:
Octavia (Tavi, tah-vee, for short)
Zadie-- actually, would love to use this, as it is a family name. But it sounds like a nickname, and I can't figure out a more formal name to base it on. Ideas?
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!
Saariyah (for a boy it is muslim and means : clouds at night) way too many mispronounciations and misspellings etc. but it is beautiful IMO)
Cove... too..i dunno,but i like it
I've been wanting to name a son Dima since I was pregnant with my son 7.5 years ago, but my husband will not go for it. We had a little pregnancy "scare" about 10 months ago and I agreed if our baby were born on 11-11-11, I would name him/her Dovahkiin. So I think it's only fair if he lets us name our child Dima - if it's a boy.
And Thadeus, but only because right now we have Dad & Madd and my daughter says "DadMadd" and it would just get out of hand if it was Dad, Madd, and Thad...
That's all I have, but I just wanted to mention how much I love all you Sci-Fi & Fantasy nerds! <3 <3 <3
I have a friend with a DD named Orla, DS named Rigel, and DS named Ford. Nigel made me think of it. Orla is probably the only one I'd ever consider using (I don't think the other's would fit any of my boys), but I think they are all great names!
I'm not pregnant, but love talking about names!
I really wanted to name both of my sons "Oscar Mateo", but dh said it sounded like a Mexican boxer, and we aren't of latin decent. Plus, Oscar has gotten to be very popular and trendy in my neck of the woods.
Other names I love but could never muster up enough guts for:
Penelope was on the list for my DD (who is 3.5 now). It was crossed off because my mother in law asked me if we were going to call her "Penny"
Anyways, it's always been my nickname. My mother used to call me Penelope when I was a kid. We ended up naming DD's stuffed Bunny Penelope. We've always pronounced it Puh-Nel-A-Pee
I've been really loving the name Penelope lately. Especially since DS named his new stuffed puppy that so I'm hearing it all the time. DH vetoed that one and I don't think anybody would know how to say/spell it anyway. Until I was like 15 I thought it was pronounced Pee-ne-lope because I'd never heard it said, just read it in books.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but I love Willa, but wouldn't use it.
Mama to three
Guilty name pleasure satisfied! I wouldnt have it any other way

Review: NewsGator Online Makes RSS Reading Simple, But Irritating
My day revolves around web-based RSS readers. Google Reader, Bloglines Beta, NewsGator...you name it, I've tried it. Unfortunately those services aren't conveniently rendered on iPhone's 3.5" display, and require lots of pinching, jiggering, and side-scrolling to view content. Adding to that frustration, Safari tends to choke on AJAX code which these online readers employ heavily - crashing the browser and dumping you back to the home screen.
Enter Newsgator Online for mobile users; a service designed for small screens with low overhead.
The biggest drawing card that NewsGator Online has in its favor is that it allows you to access your standard RSS feed list without any changes. No importing of OPML files, no creating special "mobile feed" list. Nothing. If you already have a NewsGator account (signup is free), just point your browser to m.newsgator.com and login to your account. Doing that will automagically kick you to NewsGator's mobile web-based reader, specially formatted for iPhone. As as I said, the beauty here is that no special privileges or footwork are required to use this service. Your list of feeds is staring right back at you, ready to be tapped. To view a feed simply select it, and the interface will then drill down to a page containing the entries in that feed, displayed almost exactly as it appears on the desktop version.
So far so good, right? Well not quite. Unfortunately the service falls apart at this point. Let's start with the issue of feed management. I have roughly two hundred feeds in my OPML list. NewsGator Online makes accessing those feeds almost intolerable. My feeds are categorized in folders I labeled for specific topics, like Mobile news, Mac, Windows, etc. All of these folders displayed properly on the iPhone, but they're open at the same time, displaying all 200+ feeds on one screen! If I want to view feeds that appear at the bottom of the list, I have to scroll scroll scroll to get to them.
When I first made that discovery my immediate reaction to this was..."no, this can't be right. I must be doing something wrong. There has to be an option to check off, surely." Nope, that's how the wheel spins, boss. NewsGator desperately needs to offer a way to collapse folders to free up screen real estate, and liberate my sanity. The tragedy is that if you look beyond that montrous shortcoming the remaining experience works slick as a greased doorknob. After you've strained your thumb scolling down your feed list, and made a selection, an animated page transition takes place, transporting you to that feed and its entries. The entries themselves are truncated, or abbreviated. If you want to view more, just tap on the "More" link appearing at the bottom of each post, which then expands the entry to its full content including photos (if available).
Once you've finished reading your feed of choice, hit the browser's back button to take you back to your soaring feed list. Here again another snag presents itself. In theory doing this should take you back to the last point of departure; to the spot in your feed list that was last viewed. Not quite. This works a bit unpredictably at times. Sometimes it works, but other times you may be taken back to the top of the list, again forcing thumb strained scrolling to get back. Not good.
So my overall impression of NewsGator Online is mixed. I love the convenience it affords by offering universal access to my RSS feeds, be it from a desktop or iPhone. But the experienced is muddied by lamentably inferior feed management and unpredictable browser behavior. Still, I would recommend this service to my readers, provided you are willing to tolerate its shortcomings and perhaps bypass them altogether by creating a smaller feed list with just the essentials - thereby shortening the load. Of course, doing that kind of defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it?
In the meantime, my advice to the folks at NewsGator is to keep working, you'll get there eventually.

Review: NewsGator Online Makes RSS Reading Simple, But Irritating
Kent, Google Reader's default is to dump you into the "all feeds" list, but at the bottom of the page (only a few stories down) is a set of links including "tags". Tapping on tags will display the list of your tags just like Google Reader does in a normal browser. You can then pick and choose which one you want to read from with ease.
Just spend a little more time with Google Reader. I also have looked at all the web based readers out there. I have landed on Google Reader for both my desktop RSS reading and mobile (iPhone) RSS reading.
I think the only thing missing on the mobile version of Google Reader is a way to tell it which view you want to start with. If they had that, it would be absolutely perfect.
Thanks for the tip, Dave. That's an improvement, but I still want to see better navigation implemented by Google.
Google Reader is my number one pick on iPhone and the desktop. Bloglines new beta service is a fairly close second.
I just took a peak at the Bloglines beta. Interesting. I finally was able to "unpin" some entries that were in my old account for 2 years. That feature has been buggy longer than I can remember. It's nice to see they finally fixed it. It's nice to see them doing anything with Bloglines other than running it into the ground. I'm going to have to take a closer look at it myself.
As to "Tommy's" post. I haven't seen that type of comment spam before. The site looks related, but on closer inspection, they have a blog roll to all kinds of unrelated sites. Plus, according to Alexa, they have over 80,000 sites linking back to them? If that's true, Tommy has been really busy posting links back to his site all over the web. I'm really glad I stopped taking comments. I just hate dealing with comment spam or spam of any kind.
I find it interesting that you complain of having to "pinching, jiggering, and side-scrolling to view content" when last week I mentioned the layout of this website and some of the feedback I got was along the lines of "what's wrong with pinching, etc?"
Don't get me wrong. I love this site and its content. However, the layout is more suited for reading on a desktop rather than on an iPhone.
First and foremost, I work for Newsgator and also use the iPhone app.
I think the issue you raised is a good one and quite frankly it's the one thing I don't like about the current iPhone app. Well, two things actually, the first being that the folders are not collapsed and the list gets unmanageably long as a result and the second issue is that when I hit the back button to go to the index of feeds I'm back at the top as opposed to down on the list where I left off.
You and I are probably in the very small subset of users that have a lot of feeds (I'm over 400) so while these complaints may not impact everyone I do think that addressing them makes for a better app. One thing I have done is create an group of feeds that I like to read but rarely take any action on (e.g. Valleywag, autoblog, etc.) and put that at the top of my listing so when I use the mobile client I see that group first and minimize scrolling.
Apple's attempts to control the iphone space and force app developers to use AJAX is commendable but the fact remains that if software developers were free to create non-browser apps like you can on Windows Mobile and Blackberry, well everyone would be able to build richer applications. But we can't do that for now.
This post was clipped to our internal Newsgator server (we have enterprise products in addition to client apps, you can clip, comment, forward, post individual feed items) so I'm sure the dev team will have a more substantive answer to your issue.
Hey Kent, great feedback and awesome timing... you and Jeff aren't the only ones annoyed with the flat feed/folder list. Rest assured - this is being taken care of right now.
I am working w/ our designers and resident iPhone junkies to make this issue go away! Keep an eye out for that change real soon. And Jeff, if you select the "Feeds" button at the top of the article list it will/should preserve your position in the list.
Thanks again and if you have any other feedback please pass it on - kevinc at newsgator.

The Incredible Hulk 2008
25 Jun 2008
H and I watched The Incredible Hulk 2008 at NCCC Mall Cinema Thursday last week. It was an instant decision to watch it when we called the cinema for the schedule since the NCCC web site is not yet updated. For me the movie was good enough though I say there are some loop holes and incredible scenes. It was more of visual and sound effects. We enjoyed the movie and did not regret watching it so we can at least relax from our daily routine.
I like the bonus teaser at the end of the movie because Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) appeared at the bar where Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross was drinking. There must be some alliance sparking up somewhere. Hmmm I can't wait to see what Marvel Studios have in store aside from the Iron Man Sequel after the success of the Iron Man.
And just a little trivia of the movie, Read more »»»

Growing up in sunny Florida, the Sunshine State, along the Indian River famed for its citrus groves, I am and always have been an orange girl. Winters meant dad's workbench in the garage groaning under the weight of brown paper grocery bags filled to bursting with navels, tangerines, grapefruits, Valencias and Tangelos. Winters meant trips in the old green station wagon to the groves on a chilly weekend morning where we could pick them ourselves or stopovers at one of the many roadside stands piled high with red, orange or yellow red mesh sacks, my small fingers laced through the netting, the feel of citrus rind smooth yet nubbly and tempting.
Winters meant thumbs pressed into the skin of an orange or a tangerine, the aggressive, fragrant spurt of oil and juice spattering my face and shirtfront as I dug my fingers underneath the skin and pushed back, the peel yielding, giving way to the flesh, juices running down my arms all the way to the elbows. Winters meant eating the golden treats one by one by one by one non-stop until well after the end of the season, until there was no more local fruit to be had.
As summer winds down and fades into autumn, as the stone fruits and berries turn mealy and flavorless and then disappear into a memory, I begin to crave oranges. It is as natural as my craving coffee in the morning and sleep at night, as natural as my craving for a hug and a kind word when I am feeling down. I can smell the citrus before they even show up on the market stands. I can tell by the shape and color of an orange, by the heft as I weigh them in my hand whether or not they are good for the eating or if I need to bide my time, put it off and wait another week or two.
But living far from Florida, I give in too soon and am willing to start my orange season just a tad early when the oranges might still be a bit too tart, not quite sugary sweet enough, the membrane encasing the sections a tad too tough. But with each passing year, I become just that much more impatient for my oranges and need to have them just to appease my thirst, quell my craving. It must be nostalgia.
Winters now mean bundling up in thick wooly socks and fleece sweatshirts, curling up together with the man and the pup on the sofa as the darkness sets in, deep and inky. Winters now mean stews rich with carrots, potatoes, onions and tender chunks of meat in a thick sauce, couscous and tagines, JP spending afternoons standing in the kitchen chopping and stirring. I watch with the excitement of a child as the Christmas lights go up, as that eerie, misty haze falls over the city hinting at future snow against the milky gray sky. This past week itself I have been to two exciting chocolate and pastry events, edited an article that will soon be published and helped my husband organize his trip down to say goodbye to his mother. The sons still fly in and out and all around me in a whirlwind and we realize that life carries on as usual. Well, almost.
Clem and his friend Valentin (of Voyage to Vietnam fame) came round for dinner the other night. Clem had requested cake. Requested, demanded… just a matter of semantics. We had barely finished the Chocolate Rum Chestnut Bundt which had come hot on the heels of the Chocolate Spice Bundt Cake with Black Cherries in Syrup, so it was time for a change from chocolate. I was craving oranges and had wanted to bake an orange cake since I began seeing citrus on the market once again. The autumn chill in the air, the occasional splash of sunshine stirred up sensations of those long ago Florida winters and I knew I had no choice. I found a recipe for an Orange Chiffon Cake in my mother's old Good Housekeeping Cook Book and decided that something ethereally light and fluffy would be the perfect change. So as JP prepared a beautiful Lamb Curry, I baked.
Adapted from the 1956 edition of Good Housekeeping Cook Book
2 egg yolks, preferably at room temperature
4 egg whites, preferably at room temperature
1 cup + 2 Tbs (150 g) cake flour
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar (separate out and reserve 1 Tbs)
1 ½ tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup (60 ml) neutral vegetable oil
Finely grated rind/zest of 1 orange
¼ cup (60 ml) + 2 Tbs total freshly squeezed orange juice –OR- replace 1 – 2 Tbs of the orange juice with Cointreau
¼ tsp vanilla
Pinch of cream of tartar, not more than ¼ tsp or pinch of the salt added to the recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Have ready a 9-inch x no less than 3 ½-inch deep ungreased tube or Bundt pan.
Separate 4 eggs, placing the whites in a medium mixing bowl, preferable plastic or metal, and reserve 2 of the yolks, saving the 2 leftover yolks in the refrigerator for another recipe. Add the cream of tartare or a few grains of salt to the whites and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift or stir the flour, sugar (less the 1 tablespoon reserved), baking powder, salt and finely grated zest.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, the 2 egg yolks, the orange juice and Cointreau and the vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended and then on medium for another minute until thick and creamy.
Change or wash the beaters.
Using very clean beaters, beat the whites on low speed for 30 seconds then increase to high speed and beat until thick and opaque; continue beating as you gradually add the reserved tablespoon of sugar. Beat until very stiff: do not underbeat; the whites should be very stiff, more so than for an angel food cake.
Place about a third of the egg whites in the batter and, using a spatula, fold until the whites are blended in and the batter has lightened and the volume increased. Now fold in the whites in 3 more additions, folding lightly but firmly in until well blended.
Pour lightly into the tube or Bundt pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 – 55 minutes until puffed up and firm when lightly pressed with the fingers. (You would lightly dust the top of the batter with slivered almonds if you desire).
Invert the pan over a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan – upside down.

Subaru gets up and dirty for trail riders with its XV Crosstrek, a compact, all-wheel-drive five-door hatchback.
SANTA BARBARA - If there is a more beautiful city in California than Santa Barbara, we have yet to find it. Broad beaches are set against lush vegetation and a hilly landscape that is nestled just in front of the picturesque Santa Ynez Mountains. An abundance of Spanish architecture completes a panorama that could just as well be a beautiful city on the Mediterranean.
TRACY – When it comes to looking at a new car, the 2013 Sentra might be considered a solid bet.
The 2013 Volvo T6 R-Design is the top-end halo sedan with all-wheel drive "instant traction." And instant traction is good for this 325-horsepower, turbocharged inline six-cylinder with a healthy 345 foot-pounds of torque that pours out briskly from 3,000 to 3,600 rpm. Volvo says that translates to 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds.
If bakeries and beer gardens are high on your list of vacation amenities, you couldn't do better than a visit to Solvang, the Danish-inspired theme community just a half-hour drive from Santa Barbara. Of course there is much more, but food is a great place to start.
NEW YORK (AP) - Tablets are at the top of many wish lists this holiday season. But what to get? The choice used to be pretty limited, with the iPad dominating the latecomers. But this year, the field is more even, as tablets from Apple's competitors have matured. In addition, Google and Microsoft are diving in with their own tablets, providing more choice.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The government should require automakers to make the latest collision prevention technologies standard equipment on all new cars and trucks, a move that could reduce fatal highway accidents by more than half, federal accident investigators said Wednesday.
The Infiniti JX is the three-row, seven-passenger alternative for those who do not need the big, truck-based Infiniti QX SUV for heavy-duty family duty and towing.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - Ford is bringing its smallest engine to the U.S. in the race to meet stricter government fuel economy rules.
The best kind of Christmas shopping is the kind that is fun. While some people actually enjoy going to the malls and standing in cash register lines 10 people deep, the really smart shoppers – in our opinion, anyway – are those who make the shopping experience a memorable occasion which they can remember with fondness.
The newly redesigned Kia Optima SX turbo is considered one of the best family sedans on the market.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Baby boomers started driving at a young age and became more mobile than any generation before or since. They practically invented the two-car family and escalated traffic congestion when women began commuting to work. Now, 8,000 of them are turning 65 every day, and those retirements could once again reshape the nation's transportation.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - It looks like a minivan. It has sliding doors like a minivan. So why isn't Ford calling its new seven-seater a minivan?
Springtime may not be the most likely time to think of Pasadena -- known worldwide as the site of the spectacular Rose Parade every January – but this Southern California city offers a surprising mix of attractions that makes it an ideal getaway just about any time of year.

Lola Tilly Commons
411 Tanana Loop
In 1963, the university built a common dining area on Tanana Loop, just below Stevens, Nerland and McIntosh halls. The building was dedicated to Lola Tilly in May 1985. The commons seats 460 students in the dining hall and has a small meeting room and a kitchen. Approximately 2,000 meals are served every day during the school year.
Lola Cremeans was born in 1898 in Wayside, Ill. President Charles Bunnell persuaded her to join the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in 1929. She served on the faculty until 1937 when she married engineer Gray S. Tilly. She resumed teaching in 1942. She taught classes in weaving and sewing as well as cooking, and her home economics teas were one of the social highlights of the year. In 1963, she retired as professor emeritus and received an honorary doctorate of humanities degree. A 1937 collection of Tilly's canned salmon recipes is one of the earliest publications of the University of Alaska.
The Gray S. Tilly Memorial Award was established by Lola Tilly after Gray's death. The award recognizes an outstanding senior whose education was interrupted because of family responsibilities, including financial hardship. Gray Tilly came to Alaska in 1923 and lived in southeastern Alaska for several years. He later moved to Fairbanks and was head of the Selective Service Board for 25 years.
