A unified messaging interface and associated methods that enables mobile communication device users to initiate the creation of a message for a recipient without being required to explicitly specify the type of message that is to be created. The mobile communication device supports multiple message types, such as voice, text, and picture messages. The user begins providing message content to the communication device by, for example, speaking, entering text, or clicking a shutter of a camera. The unified messaging interface detects the nature of the content and creates a corresponding type of message. The user can indicate a desire to create and send a message by performing "one-click" action. The one-click action is an operation performed on the device that can be instantiated as a single button-press on the keypad; selection of a single soft key by depressing a button on the keypad or touching the screen of the device; or issuance of a single voice command.
1. In a wireless communication system in which messages can be created and transmitted to recipients, a method for initiating transmission of a message using a unified messaging interface, comprising:

No. 10/661,033, filed Sep. 12, 2003 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,183,687. The foregoing patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.
1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an application for authoring a voice or text message on a communications device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a unified authoring interface for a communication device that allows both audio and text input without the user explicitly selecting the mode of communication, such that delivery of the message can then be optimized.
2. The Relevant Technology
The popularity of all types of communication devices, such as mobile telephones and telephony-enabled personal digital assistants (PDAs) is undeniable. In addition to circuit-switched and packet-switched voice sessions, numerous messaging applications, such as Email, Short Message Service (SMS) messages, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages, and Instant Messaging (IM) are available today on a wide variety of mobile communication devices. Also, services that assist users with information and updates, such as stock quotes, news alerts and driving directions, or services that improve personal productivity or provide customer services, can all be accessed and engaged via mobile communication devices. Furthermore, applications and services that deliver media content or other types of entertainment and are accessible via mobile communication devices are increasingly popular.
While applications and services that can be accessed via a mobile device deliver significant value to users, enhanced messaging services and the large modality of different ways of communicating (picture messaging, voice messaging, text messaging) have made these devices more complicated, inhibiting their use. It is well known in the art of user interface design that each additional step required for a user to reach an objective diminishes the chance the user will complete the task.
Mobile phones started out as very simple devices from a usability standpoint. The user merely entered the number and pushed the TALK key—an experience familiar to almost everyone. With the advent of SMS Messaging, the user could leave a text message for another user with a mobile phone. This additional option of authoring and sending a text message is now well understood and widely adopted in the mobile phone industry. Over the past few years, additional services have been introduced to allow users to author audio messages or picture messages and exchange them with other users. These technologies are seeing broader adoption, but the interface for selecting between messaging technologies is now much more complicated, which restricts their use.
To allow the user to choose between these various options, the communications devices have become much more complicated. Instead of simply selecting a recipient and selecting "message" rather than "talk", the user must now select what kind of message is to be sent: a text, audio, or picture message. This is typically done from a menu, since devices do not have dedicated keys for these operations. This has increased the complexity of messaging from one key press to two or more, a 100% or more increase in complexity. In many situations, and for frequent users who desire "rapid-fire" communications, this extra key-press inhibits use.
These new technologies have introduced the richness of communicating through a wide variety of means at the expense of simplicity. What is needed is a user interface that retains access to the rich communications without the added complexity of additional keys or button clicks.
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for authoring a message on a communications device through a simplified interface that uses the actions of the user, rather than explicit user instruction, to author a message and determine the appropriate means for delivery of that message.
According to one aspect of the invention, the message sender chooses a recipient from a contacts list, and then selects a "Send Message" key. The device then presents an interface that allows the user to start recording to author an audio message, start typing to author a text message, or press the camera shutter button to author a picture message. If the user takes no action, an audio message is recorded. If the user types in text characters, a text message is authored, and if the user clicks the shutter, a picture message is created. The delivery of the resulting messages is performed as soon as the "SEND" key is pressed.
Thus, this aspect of the present invention permits users to easily create text messages, record and transmit instant voice messages, or take and send a picture all from the same user interface to any recipient with just "one-click" on a mobile device.
The "one-click" action to launch the unified user interface can be physically performed on the device, such as a single button-press on the keypad of the mobile device, selection of a single soft key by using a button on the keypad, or by touching the screen of the device, or it can take the form of an articulated command.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The features and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. These and other features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
In order that the manner in which the advantages and features of the invention are obtained, a particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not, therefore intended to be considered limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
The present invention is directed to systems and methods to streamline the user interface on wireless communication devices for the purpose of authoring messages.
I. Operating Environments Within Wireless Communication Systems
In the embodiment of
Additional details of the wireless communication system 100 of
II. Unified Messaging Interface
Now described in reference to
In the foregoing manner, voice or text messages can be quickly authored with a unified authoring interface with "one-click" access on a sender device. Alternately, the Unified Messaging Interface can provide a single interface for composing and sending a picture message in addition to voice and text messages. In particular, the option of creating and sending a picture message can be provided by the Unified Messaging Interface with a key that initiates that mode. In general, the principles of the invention, which include detecting the action of the user as the process of creating a message is initiated, can be extended to substantially any combination of two or more different types of messages, including those that exist now (e.g., text, voice, picture) and those that will be developed in the future.
III. Examples of Use of Unified Messaging Interface
While embodiments of the invention are described in detail herein, the invention can be further illustrated by presenting specific examples of the efficiency gained using the methods of the Unified Authoring Environment. It is noted that the following example is presented only to illustrate the invention, and the specific implementation described hereinafter does not limit the scope of the invention.
According to a first example, the user selects the recipient from her mobile phone contact list, and clicks on a soft key to invoke the Unified Authoring Interface. She begins to speak her message and when done, presses the "send" key. Alternatively the user could hold the message key while speaking, and upon letting go the message is sent. This removes another user action from the system, further simplifying the interface. Using this technique, the user has authored an audio message with one (if the button is held while speaking) or two clicks (one to begin, and one to end/send).
Similarly, if the user were to desire to send a text message, she would start to "triple-tap" on the keyboard to create the message rather than to start speaking into the device. When she is done, she would press the send key.
According to a second example illustrated in
If the user instead begins entering text to the wireless communication device before voice content is received or before a full amount of voice content is completely received (decision 516), the unified authoring interface of the invention recognizes the fact that text has been entered and initiates creation of and sends a text message that incorporates the entered text (step 518).
Optionally, this example can also extend to the use of a wireless device that has camera capabilities. In this case, the user can activate the camera shutter prior to completion of a voice message. If the wireless communication device detects activation of the camera shutter prior to the creation of a complete voice message (decision 520), the unified authoring interface of the invention initiates creation of a picture message using the picture that has been obtained by the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device then transmits the picture message to the recipient (step 522).
As these examples show, the decision of whether to send a voice message, a text message, or another type of message (e.g., a picture message) is made implicitly by the system based on the user actions. In this way, the system is simplified from traditional mobile phone message authoring solutions.
IV. Telecommunication Devices and Computing Environments
Embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in connection with a special purpose or general purpose telecommunications device, including wireless telephones and other telephony-enabled mobile devices, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, or other mobile special purpose or general purpose computers that are adapted to have telecommunications or data networking capabilities. Embodiments within the scope of the present invention also include computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or electronic content structures stored thereon, and these terms are defined to extend to any such media or instructions that are used with telecommunications devices.
By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of computer-executable instructions or electronic content structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer, or other computing device.
When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer or computing device, the computer or computing device properly views the connection as a computer-readable medium. Thus, any such a connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media. Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and content which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, special purpose processing device or computing device to perform a certain function or group of functions.
Although not required, aspects of the invention have been described herein in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by computers in network environments. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, and content structures that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract content types. Computer-executable instructions, associated content structures, and program modules represent examples of program code for executing aspects of the methods disclosed herein.
The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as exemplary and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Preventing Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths for men and women combined. When men and women are considered separately, colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of death in each sex, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). (For men and women, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, prostate cancer is the second leading cause for men, and breast cancer is the second leading cause for women.)
Your risk for developing colorectal cancer increases with age, but other lifestyle factors and genetics also play a role in increasing risk.
The risk for colorectal cancer increases after age 40. The risk rises sharply beginning around age 50 and continues to increase with each passing decade.Learn more about preventing colon cancer ›

For decades there has been a mismatch between the expectations of the operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate prediction community and the model research and development community. The principal measure of success of work that is supported by a typical short-term (e.g., 3-year) research grant is the number, quality, and impact of the research publications that result from any project. Researchers receive no reward for developments that become "operational," so there is little incentive to do what is viewed as extra work to transform research results into operational methods or procedures. There is a view that the scholarly publications speak for themselves, which has been described as a "loading dock" approach—the research results are made available to the operational prediction community via peerreviewed publications (left on the loading dock), and it is up to users to figure out how to use the results. There are some nascent efforts in which the transition to operations is the objective rather than a by-product of research, e.g., the NOAA Climate Test Bed activity.4
From the operational community point of view, there are a great many constraints imposed by operations that should be taken into account by the researchers who seek to improve the operational predictions. In order to effect a transition from research to operations, they argue, the research community needs to modify its developments to conform to the constraints of operations so that their results can become useful, and the operational center needs to provide infrastructure support for the research community to use the operational model to conduct its research. The mismatch between the two communities' expectations has been called the "valley of death," that is, a communication and interaction gap. There is clearly a need to better align the two communities and provide adequate resources so that good ideas can be more rapidly and effectively transformed into operational practice.
Finding 9.3: The expectations of the research community and the operational prediction community are not well aligned.
As indicated throughout this report (Chapters 1 and 10), a market for climate model information already exists. Given the growing need for information about future climate from climate models, involvement of the private sector could be beneficial. The private sector is already engaged through consulting companies that provide customized and downscaled climate information. A number of private companies successfully sell climate information that depends on climate models.

Quick question about Canon printer.
New to Mac & setup my Canon i950 without a glitch but I cannot find anything in the software to check ink levels like I could with Windows XP. While printing it did warn me once that black level was low but no graph, just a warning. I'd like to check the levels before doing some serious printing!:)
If anyone has any experience with the i950 or similar Canon printers please let me know.
Your printer may need to warm up / print a page first.
I found this on the Apple forums:
Apple - Support - Discussions - cannot see ink jet cartridge levels ...
Also, did you try Cannon's driver? (select your OS to see the driver / software downloads)
Support - Photo Printer - i950 Series - Canon USA Consumer Products
Yup, found it. I don't know my way around a Mac yet. It's a little work getting to Utilities. Then, Maintenance defaults to Cleaning, but, there's a drop down list that takes you to levels.
Sure thing.
We have to check out iChat some time so I can show you around your Mac from 600 miles away :)

A self hearted, 2-faced bitch. Most likely thinks she's super pretty but is really an ugly fuck head. She thinks she has an amazing fashion sense, but really just looks like cheap white trash. She may appear nice at first, but on the inside is a truly hideous person. She may also be a try hard and a wanna be. No one likes a rachel, especially with her excuses. She's a fake, and backs everything up with the same sob story. Bitch.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State softball team defeated Seattle U 6-1 on Friday, March 28 at the NM State Softball Complex. The Aggies opened Western Athletic Conference play with 11 hits, improving the record to 19-15 on the season and 1-0 in league play.
"I thought it was a solid day for us. We hit the ball pretty well and our defense really stayed on behind our pitchers," head coach Kathy Rodolph said. "Our pitching was solid, but I still think this is a series we have to work for. It's going to be a battle."
Junior centerfielder Staci Rodriguez went 2-for-3 on the game with a pair of singles. She also plated two of the Aggie runs. Sophomore Emma Adams had the big hit of the night with a solo home run over the centerfield fence to lead off the fifth.
Redshirt sophomore Karysta Donisthorpe and senior Celisha Walker teamed up in the circle to hold SU to six hits and just one run on the game. Donsthorpe started the game and worked three innings with two strikeouts and the win, while Walker came in to close the final three innings with four strikeouts.
The Aggies plated a run in each inning. Rodriguez singled her way on base in the first and was brought around off an error in the Seattle U outfield. The second inning saw a run brought around off a double by senior catcher Alyssa Ruiz.
NM State hit three singles in the third with the RBI coming off the bat of Adams. She hit her first season home run in the fifth, lifting NM State to the 6-1 lead and eventual win.
The Aggies allowed an SU base runner in all but the third inning, but kept the Redhawks from reaching third in all but two frames with the lone run coming off a two-base hit in the fourth.
The Aggies and Seattle U close out the WAC-opening series on Saturday, March 29. The doubleheader is slated to begin at 4 p.m. with the series finale tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. Game one of the day will have live video available on NMStateSports.com and ESPN3.com.

The committee is responsible for selecting the recipient of the Boydston Essay Prize, established in 1995 by Jo Ann Boydston to honor the best essay or review published anywhere during the previous two years , the primary focus of which is the editing of a volume of works or documents.
Jo Ann Boydston was an internationally renowned expert on American philosopher John Dewey. She acted as the longtime director of SIUC's Center for Dewey Studies, where she directed the publication of thirty-seven volumes containing all of Dewey's major philosophical pieces. "The Collected Works of John Dewey," produced at the rate of more than one volume each year, was the first such collection of writings by a classical American philosopher to apply the methodology of modern textual scholarship. It was also and one of the first projects to receive funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. In addition to overseeing the publication of the definitive edition of Dewey's papers, Boydston created a guide to Dewey's work, a record of its translations, a list of the contents of his personal and professional libraries, and a collection of his poems. She served as president of the ADE in 1984-85.

Jessopp delighted to be stuck between rival team-mates
Posted: September 13, 2012|
DESPITE struggling whilst on the track, Martin Jessopp has revelled being sandwiched between two team-mates gunning for glory when back in the garage.
The Rapid Riders Performance Technical Racing rookie from Yeovil has just one point to his name from 11 World Supersport outings. However, experienced team-mates Sam Lowes and Jules Cluzel have enjoyed far better fortunes on the same 600cc Honda.
Frenchman Cluzel and Brit Lowes have two wins each to their name this year, the former most recently pipping the latter to the chequered flag at Silverstone last month.
With two races left, Turkish rider Kenan Sofuoglu is odds-on favourite to lift the crown but will face stern competition from second-placed Cluzel, who is currently 38 behind the leader.
Jessopp said: "This is the biggest team in Supersport and I have four great, really fast team-mates. They are all younger than me, they have all raced only 600cc or smaller so have great experience on these little bikes.
"I am learning as much off them as they are learning off me. In the garage I am sat in the middle, Jules is at one end and Sam is at the other fighting for the Championship.
"Unfortunately it is over for Sam now and all but over for Jules barring a mechanical mistake from Kenan in the final rounds. There is a lot of rivalry in the garage and I'm bang in the middle of it."
Jessopp finished 20th at the Nurburgring, Germany, on Sunday, having qualified 30th. A gamble to take the outside line at the first corner helped him pass rivals, but Jessopp had still left himself too much to do.
"By the time I had got passed he slower guys there was a bit of a gap," he said. "I got past one guy to make my way to 22nd and in the last parts of the race I was just racing myself and my pit board again. We had a gearbox problem as well and with a tight first corner my bike was struggling to select first gear. I was losing about 0.4 secs which doesn't sound too much but when you are around a track where you are fighting so closely is it a lot.
"I was losing that time but still managing to match the times of the top 12. I find myself saying that again and that it is down to qualifying again."
PTR team manager Simon Buckmaster added: "Martin had too much too do after qualifying, we need to do something about that."
The World Supersport series heads to Portugal and the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve next week for the penultimate meeting of the series. It could also be one of the final outings in the World Superbikes support series for Jessopp as he mulls over options for next year.
However, Jessopp said his immediate focus is currently on a week of training ahead of his journey south.
"It is back to work and back to training," he said. "We will be flying down to Portugal as it's a good two-day drive to the Algarve, which is too long for us to be away. It is back to normal, back to training and getting as fit as possible before the next round."

Tag: Joe Biden (page 3)
CNN just read a statement from John McCain. Completely predictable. He points out that Joe Biden said Barack Obama is not qualified to be President. I guess we can expect that video to be replayed ad nauseum.

Joe Biden to the New Hampshire Leader in 2007:
Biden was generally critical of the far left wing of his party and of the strategies the frontrunners are using to win the nomination.
He said Democrats would do better if they stopped dividing the electorate by playing to their base and instead brought people together. He criticized the left wing of his party for demonizing the rich and Republicans.
"Rich folks are as patriotic as poor folks, but we don't talk that way," he said.
Biden also talked about his electoral strategy:[More...]

ABC says Biden backtracked a little on his denial that he is Obama's Veep pick. My response:
And a shout-out to Jerome at MyDD.
It's also looking less likely Hillary or Kathleen Sebelius will be the choice. ABC News says Obama's been using the "he" pronoun today rather than his customary "he or she."
I still say it's more likely Kaine than Biden.

Earlier, Big Tent Democrat made another case for Hillary as Vice President. I'll make another case against Sen. Joe Biden. My specific arguments are contained in these posts:
- Report: Kaine, Biden, Bayh at Top of Obama's Veep List
- Joe Biden is No Progressive on Crime Issues.
- Joe Biden Feels a Draft
- Delaware's Shame: Prison AIDS Crisis

Joe Biden left for Georgia today to meet with its President.
Either Obama is not naming his VP candidate Monday or on a more hopeful note, it's not Biden.
I'm wondering if Bill Richardson could be back in the running, even though he has a speaker slot at the convention. Obama will be in New Mexico Monday, and New Mexico is one of those states (with its five electoral votes) Obama is trying hard to win but he faces a lot of resistance among Hispanic voters in the southern half of the state.

Problem: If Joe Biden is the nominee, count me out. I couldn't even clap for the ticket.
Other reasons: His saying we may need to rethink the military draft. His inability to cure rampant injustices in his own state, where one of every four prisoners who died in prison since 2000 died of AIDS-related diseases and the states' prisons suffer from an atrocious lack of medical care.
I'm just warming up. I so hope Obama doesn't pick Biden. He is the antithesis of change and the embodiment of your father's Oldsmobile. [More...]

Per CNN, Joe Biden says he's withdrawing from the Presidential race. Good. He's the one Democrat running I would not have supported for President -- the last thing we need is another law and order President.
Joe Biden is bad on crime issues.
Joe Biden brought us the Rave Act and has been a supporter of increased rights for law enforcement and wiretapping. Here's his voting record on issues of import:
- Voted YES on loosening restrictions on cell phone wiretapping. (Oct 2001)
- Voted YES on prohibiting same-sex marriage. (Sep 1996)
- Rated 60% by the ACLU, indicating a mixed civil rights voting record. (Dec 2002)(Note: he improved in subsequent years.)
- Rated 36% by NARAL, indicating a mixed voting record on abortion. (Dec 2003) (Note: he improved in later years.)
He also introduced this doozy of a bill:

See Joe Biden on Meet the Press this morning. Crooks and Liars has the video in which Biden says he won't vote to cut off war funding.
When asked by host Tim Russert if he would vote to cut off funding for Iraq if President Bush refuses to accept a withdrawal date, Biden moves directly to the "cutting off funding means you don't support the troops" mentality pulled straight from the pages of the RNC playbook. Instead of speaking the truth, that it means appropriating funds to begin a safe and smart withdrawal from the country, not abandoning out troops, Biden instead says he won't vote to cut off funding and chooses to chastise Democrats who support it.
It's infuriating to say the least to see Biden falling for the White House framing– not one single Democrat in Congress wants to leave our soldiers stranded in the middle of the desert with no food, water, ammo or protection–and cutting off Bush's funding would not do that–and Senator Biden should know better.
Update: See below for some of the reasons I've never favored Joe Biden.

Sen. Joe Biden's 'Rave Act' (renamed the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act of 2003) is still drawing well-deserved criticism. Biden slipped the Act into the Amber Alert bill that became law on April 30, 2003. Critics charge that the law
... could not only throw innocent promoters in jail, but also scare off property owners from renting out halls, clubs and fields for any event - from concerts to political rallies - where someone might use an illegal drug. That, they say, could violate Americans' rights to free speech and free assembly.
"The law is so wide open that it could shut down anything, like a Rolling Stones concert, a hip-hop show, any kind of show," says Alex Virasayachack, a Cleveland promoter and disc jockey. "It's a pretty Draconian thing," says Marvin Johnson, a counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "Owners and promoters can go to jail for something that they have no control over."
As evidence of their charge, critics point to the DEA's actions in Montana last month which resulted in NORML cancelling a benefit.
The Drug Enforcement Administration has acknowledged that an Eagles Lodge in Billings canceled a May 30 concert scheduled on its property after a DEA agent showed up that day with a copy of the new law and suggested the lodge could be held liable if concertgoers used drugs. The concert was a money-raiser for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Ed Childress, a DEA spokesman in Washington, said the incident appears to have resulted from a misinterpretation of the law by the local DEA agent.
The DEA says it has drawn up guidelines for the enforcement of the Act.
Prosecutions will be aimed, he said, at people holding events "for the intended purpose of promoting" drug use or sales. The agency also has directed agents to coordinate any enforcement of the law with headquarters, he said.
....The real targets of the law, he said, are people who promote electronic-music dance parties known as "raves" in a way that makes clear that drugs like Ecstasy will be available.
The assurances of the DEA that concert promoters and business owners won't be charged just because patrons illegally use drugs at a concert is somewhat reassuring. But, these are guidelines only, which means they could be revised. Guidelines are not law. The law still needs to be amended to make this point clear. [link via What Really Happened]

Fructose is a fruit sugar that naturally occurs in the body. Man-made fructose is used as a sweetener in many foods, including baby food and drinks.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Causes This condition occurs when the body is missing an enzyme called aldolase B. This substance is needed to break down fructose.If a person without this substance eats fructose and sucrose (cane or beet sugar, table sugar), complicated chemical changes occur in the body.

Paula Deen
Dancing With The Stars Wants JWoww, Tim Tebow & Paula Deen Next Season! Plus Plans For An All-Star Season?
Fans anticipate the casting drama of Dancing With The Stars almost as much as they anticipate watching the celebs strap on their dancing gear and compete. Well, casting for season 14 is about to begin and already a whole host of names are being thrown around as possible contenders!
HollywoodLife is exclusively reporting that JWoww and Tim Tebow are both topping DWTS' producers wish list and have already been approached to participate in the show. Eeks – Can you imagine what JWoww would wear to dance in!?
And following the announcement by Food Network's star Paula Deen yesterday that she has Type II Diabetes, the show producers now want the 64-year-old on the show! "'DWTS' suits love good stories," the source says. "It's good timing. Paula just confirmed she has diabetes and this could help her a lot."
The source also reveals that the show is hoping to get some failed presidential hopefuls on board by asking Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain to consider the show. Also, if Rick Perry or Ron Paul leave the presidential race producers are apparently hoping to entice one of them as well. That seems like one politico too many!
In other DWTS news two-time winner Cheryl Burke recently hinted that fans may get their wish for an all-star show! Cheryl taught a dance class in Mountain View, CA over the weekend and participated in a little Q & A session about the show, which was tweeted live by the peeps at Mountain View Patch.
Among some of the juicy tidbits Cheryl revealed, she mentioned that an all-star show could be in the works in time for season 15! Cheryl also talked on-set egos and revealed, "Some male dancers on the show have egos, but I stay out of it." I wonder whom she could be referring to…
Cheryl also pointed out egos have never been a problem with male celebrities! Cheryl also shared that she takes Len Goodman's advice the most seriously because he's a real ballroom judge.

Ai ya ya! Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is proving you can be sexy at any age!
The 40-year-old mother of one, who gave birth to daughter Krishna just one year ago, showed off her amazing bikini body as she took a dip in the ocean on Sunday in Nassau in the Bahamas.
As for how she snapped back so quickly after giving birth, Padma credits water. "I drink a ton of water," she told UsWeekly last December. "Water really flushes everything out."
Padma is currently in the middle on a nasty custody battle with her daughter's father Adam Dell, brother to billionaire Michael Dell of Dell Inc. Adam filed a suit for full custody on Jan. 25, with his lawyer, Bill Zabel, stating Adam is upset with the amount of time Padma allows him to have with his daughter.
Sources reveal Adam is also upset with the name Padma chose for his daughter and is unhappy he is not even listed on her birth certificate. According to the filing, he's asking for his name to be officially listed as the father and for Krishna to take his last name along with Padma's.
Moving on to tonight's episode of Top Chef's All Stars. On the all new episode titled 'For The Gulf,' the remaining meal mavens employ a deep fryer in an attempt to please culinary star Paula Deen's precise palate. Later, the chefs serve up seafood at an event that benefits fishermen of the Gulf region. Paula and chef John Besh are guest judges.
Thoughts On The Season – I finally caught all the episodes of this season thanks to Monday's marathon and whoa! I have been missing out. What a great season with the all stars! I was a bit disappointed to see the hotness Angelo go home on the last episode as I honestly thought Tiffany should have been the one to go. My favorites are Carla, Antonia, and Dale. I think Carla and Dale are both neck in neck to win it all. It's been a while since I've watched Top Chef but I'm definitely hooked on this season. Plus I had missed Padma's extreme enthusiasm for her job. With that said, can't wait to watch tonight! I plan to start writing more about it.
More bikini photos of Padma below!
Kate Gosselin might be one step closer to having to work a regular 9 – 5, as RadarOnline is reporting she has been axed from a new TV show that she shot a pilot for because the executives thought she was too controversial.
Kate shot the pilot for the show back in September. She was to be one of the several hosts for the Momlogic TV pilot. She joined Food Network star Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and former Early Show co-host Rene Syler. The show, which has been described as The View for working moms (umm isn't The View for working moms as well?), is said to be on life support and will likely be canceled all together.
It is however still on schedule to be sold at the convention where TV shows are pitched, but an insider said there is little chance it will make it. A source close to the situation told Radar that the high-level executives believed Kate was too controversial for the show and didn't think she was ready for a full-time hosting job, even as part of a panel.
This unfortunately does not mark the end of Kate on television. As we reported earlier, TLC is developing a show for her, that should debut sometime in the spring. The concept of the show has yet to be made public, but TLC is reportedly very committed to the new show.
In breaking news, Jon Gosselin is now demanding TLC stop filming his eight children for the hit reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8.
This news comes just two days after TLC announced its plans to phase Jon out of the show, and rename it Kate Plus 8. RadarOnline reports Jon sent a letter to TLC stating all filming and production crews are banned from his family's Wernersville, Pennsylvania home.
"Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon's family home for any reason. In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers," his lawyer Mark J. Heller wrote to TLC.
The letters from Jon's attorney to TLC were dated Tuesday, the same day the network announced it was minimizing his role on the show and changing the name to Kate Plus 8.
Jon states that both he and Kate both own the property where the show is being shot, that he has joint custody of the kids and that he is able to make decisions about their welfare.
According to Radar, Jon says he found out about the show's name change in the media. He now says he believes it is not in the best interest of the children's welfare to continue with production of the show.
Jon is currently in Los Angeles for a press tour and will be a guest on Larry King Live on Thursday.
UPDATE: TLC has now suspended production on Jon & Kate Plus 8. They gave the following statement -
"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic…. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."
Tell Us – What Are Your Thoughts On This New Development?
A lot of changes are occurring in the Gosselin family following the public divorce of Jon and Kate Gosselin after 10 years of marriage and eight kids.
On Tuesday, TLC announced that the show will be renamed Kate Plus Eight, beginning Nov. 2, reports US Weekly. As usual, the show will continue to focus on the lives of the young Gosselin twins and sextuplets, but will now also focus on Kate's role as a single mother.
"Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family," TLC president Eileen O'Neill said in a statement. "The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate's journey really resonates with our viewers."
A source tells PEOPLE, "Given Jon's recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on." Those recent antics include dating 22 year old Hailey Glassman, and the most recent one occurring this weekend when he decided to add Hailey's name to the official Gosselin family website. Hailey's name has since been removed.
The show's rating continues to decline weekly. The show premiered with a whopping 9.8 million viewers but now has fallen to a season-low of 1.7 million.
Earlier this month, Kate appeared on The View as a guest host and recently filmed a pilot for a daytime talk show with Paula Deen.
"I've been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?" she said at a women's conference earlier this month.
Jon was also reported to be shopping around for a reality show called The Divorced Dads Club, costarring Michael Lohan, among others.

<US Airways has corrected a previous
comment that it does not intend to codeshare
with Gulfstream
International Airlines>
Airways says it is still considering forging a codeshare pact with Gulfstream International Airlines, reversing a
previous comment that it does not intend to codeshare on the Florida-based carrier's proposed
essential air service (EAS) at four US
for the US
major told ATI that the Star Alliance
member would not codeshare
with the Florida-based carrier.
a US Airways spokeswoman now says the carrier is "still looking at codesharing".
nothing has been decided yet, the carrier is "still considering it", she adds.
Gulfstream president David
Hackett says he has not received an answer from US Airways on the codeshare proposal. "We're
waiting on US Airways. They're kind of busy these days," he says.
DOT selected Gulfstream's

For someone who adores her camera and documenting every single memory I can, there is one thing I absolutely HATE with a passion. Photographs of me. Don't get me wrong, I like natural shots with my babies, and I love the odd 'selfie' on my iPhone but ask me to pose for a photo and I end up looking incredibly uncomfortable.
However as a Mum I don't get to treat myself as much as I used to. Before children my money used to go on exciting things such as holidays, bags and clothes. Nowadays I have much less and it goes on mortgage payments, bills and clothes for them. Therefore when Florence and Fred got in touch to see if I would like to try some of their range I thought I would put aside my serious 'being in front of the camera' anxiety and channel my inner Kate Moss. If you want a laugh keep scrolling down.
I must admit I don't buy a huge amount of clothes from Tesco for myself. I have the odd thing from there, and my girls probably have over half their range every season, (it washes so well for the price!) but it's not somewhere where I would particularly shop for things for me. However I was so impressed with the amount of things they had on their website and I had a great time picking out some bits and pieces from their collection.
Aside from being uncomfortable and tense in these photos, I also don't have the luxury of Mario Testino photographing me, instead I had a slightly grumpy husband who had just got home from work and wasn't impressed with my modelling. But here is what I purchased...
Awkward pose and expression aside I love this spotty pinky jumper. I teamed it with my own shirt and jeans, and it is something I know that I will wear a lot.
Kate Moss so wouldn't leave the coathanger plastic thingy out. Rookie mistake.
Nervous laughter and Kate Moss would definitely have had one of her assistants pull those unsightly weeds up. But I do love this flowery dress, I have a fair few family things coming up so will wear this when I want to be smart casual with tights and boots. Note to self- remember to straighten hair properly next time.
A solution! Grab a baby to pose with- that will make it easier. I really like this white chiffon top, it doesn't cling to my tummy and is smarter than just a t-shirt. Love the pumps as well, I have a thing for neon.
Love them- perfect for Spring.
Love my Russian Doll necklace.
The smallest model was starting to get fed up by this point, and was a little embarrassed about standing outside our house posing for all the neighbours to see. But I do love this neon striped top, it's perfect for wearing on my endless exciting and glamorous trips to soft play. Basic but pretty.
Did you know that F&F also do gym stuff? Nope I didn't either. I am happy in this one as I am about to run away from the camera, love this neon orange vestt!
I also got two beautiful little sets of dungarees for the girls (can't beat kids in dungarees in my opinion!) but they are shorts for summer and are a little big at the moment so they will fit in time for our holiday. I am really pleased with the outfits that I selected and it was so lovely to be able to treat myself to some things for me. Definitely worth ten minutes worth of awkward photo taking. I am pretty sure Kate Moss won't be concerned about me taking any work off her soon!Thank you so much Florence and Fred.
NB. I was gifted £100 to spend online at F&F as part of their #ffontrendmum campaign. All thoughts, opinions and horrendously awkward poses are entirely my own.

When I was about half way through my pregnancy with Mads I started looking at clothes to cover my growing bump. There was not much in the maternity sections that I liked. Why just because you are pregnant does it give you an excuse to look like a 'Mum.' Don't get me wrong, there are a few nice places to buy maternity clothes that don't cost the earth- think ASOS and Gap, but most of the ones I found were not me at all.
Therefore I mostly boycotted the maternity sections and lived in leggings and slightly bigger sizes in tops that I would have worn pre-Mads. I think I bought a couple of maternity jumpers and tops and that was it.
This time I seem to be encountering the same problem. My bump is big already so I am already out of my normal jeans. This time I am open to suggestions, and I am determined to find a nice pair of pregnancy skinny jeans that don't have one of those over the bump panels.
My dilemma at the moment is that in certain clothes I don't look like like I have got a bump- more like I have eaten slightly too many burgers, so I have been wearing tight things that show it off. Tight equals bump. Baggy equals people at work trying to guess if I have had a 'big lunch.'
I most certainly don't claim to be the most stylish person in the world, far from it in fact, but this is what I have been clothing myself and the bump in over the last few weeks of my pregnancy. It works for us, although Mr E has a bit of a phobia of patterned leggings. He says I look like his Grandma. If his Grandma had worn patterned leggings I would be very concerned.
NB. If anyone knows where to get a nice fitting pair of maternity skinny jeans please let me know. You would be my saviour! Or just nice maternity clothes.

Last week when Lucy and I decided the theme for this weeks Pretty.Little.Things I decided I was going to make sure I got my camera out and take some new photos of Mads. Or I was going to do a collage of photos of her in her 'Favourite Colour.'
Fast forward to Thursday night and as usual I have been so incredibly busy I haven't had time to do any of the things I wanted to do. So please excuse the quality of my photo but here is Mads in her favourite colour. She is pulling a face which I happen to think is quite cute because I told her off for touching the television!
NNow I know Mads is only fourteen months old and therefore doesn't actually know what her favourite colour is yet, and I know it is a terrible cliche but I just love her in Pink. I think it really suits her skin tone and she just looks so cute dressed up in her little pink outfits. I am not one of those people whose baby has to be in pink non stop though, I do love her in other colours. You can get some really gorgeous baby outfits in purples, navy and red. Although if I had to choose my favourite, pink would get my vote.
I want Mads to be a happy and well adjusted little person so if as she gets older she decides she wants to be a tomboy then that would be fine by me. I just 'secretly' hope that she wants to be like her Mummy and like fashion, girly things and being creative. Only time will tell but in the meantime I will enjoy dressing my little lady up in dresses and skirts before she tells me otherwise.
If you would like to link up and tell us your favourite colour for either yourself or your little one then head over to Dear Beautiful Boy as she is hosting this week. Next week the theme is 'Favourite Place to Relax.' Where do you like to unwind and get away from it all? Come and join me here next week and let us all know.

I'm pretty sure EEG's never gonna be good enough for the kind of cursor control gamers are thinking about. People have been trying to work with the signals for a long time, and even though they can get crappy 2D control now, the signal to noise ratio is just too high for anything much better.

Comment P300 Explanation and Anecdotal Info (Score 2, Informative) 99
This system has been around for a while; I've seen it demonstrated live twice, and it didn't work at all either time. In my opinion, even in best conditions (bald patient, shit-tons of electrodes, professional setup, well-trained subject) it doesn't work well enough to fuel science-fiction fantasies, and probably never well. For locked-in patients, who can do nothing but move their eyes, though, it's an awesome technology. They made a movie recently about such a patient who spent years using it to write a novel: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401383/.
Here's how it works - metal electrodes on the brain (EEG) pick up an analog signal, and *any* stimulus which is particularly salient to a subject creates a spike in the signal 300ms after that stimulus appears (this spike is called the P300, there's a good wiki article on it). If you have a dude staring at a grid of letters, you can tell which one he's looking at by hunting for the big spikes 300 ms after the right letter flashes. The only problem is the signal-to-noise ratio, which is notoriously terrible in EEG, though of course there are people out there working on improving it.
Comment Don't believe the hype (Score 5, Informative) 154
Last I checked, their marketing videos are ridiculously flashy while showing no real control capability. My belief: EEG headsets like these, at best, will be controllable only by facial muscles (which completely overshadow the electrical potential generated by the brain) and by alpha rhythm amplitude, a very slow control signal demonstrated in "BrainBall", which was posted to slashdot some time earlier. At worst these headsets will be near-worthless devices, their sales supported entirely by false promises and media hype.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A man allegedly slashed his neighbor with a sword during a fight Monday afternoon.
Don Miller, 36, was arrested on the 2700 block of Rio Linda Boulevard around 12:30 p.m. when a dispute between neighbors escalated into a sword attack, Sacramento police said.
"It cut straight through the muscle - it cut straight through the bone," said 22 year old Mark Johnson, who said at first he didn't even realize he'd been cut."
"As soon as he swung and I swung at the same time with this arm. I put this arm up to block like this and he sliced it right through there," Johnson said, adding his doctor said the slash to his upper right arm nearly cut his artery.
Neighbor Dave Coleman, an Army veteran gave Johnson first aid as he slipped into shock.
"I wrapped it and put some pressure on it and elevated it and made him sit down,"Coleman said.
Johnson was taken to a nearby hospital.
Miller was also injured in the fight.
From the Sacramento County Jail, where he's being held for assault with a deadly weapon, Miller said he was just defending himself.
"And they started swinging at me. One of them, as you can see, hit me twice in the face," Miller said, showing some lacerations on his face where he said he was hit by a shovel.
He said he was attacked by three neighbors with shovels and a length of pvc pipe, after a dispute over the use of colorful language by his wife.
"I just started swinging it, like trying to get 'em away from me. All I wanted was to be left alone," Miller said.
Police said Miller had several warrants out for his arrest.
Ironically, Miller said he'd been friends with his attacker until the altercation.

Atomic Standard for Pressure
Above 300 kPa, NIST's pressure standards are commercially manufactured piston-cylinder sets. In operation, both the piston and the cylinder deform significantly with pressure and the piston rotates continuously to insure gas lubrication. Because of these complications, piston-cylinder sets are calibrated using NIST's primary-standard mercury manometer below 300 kPa and the calibration is extrapolated to higher pressures using numerical models of the coupled gas flow and elastic distortions. The data used for extrapolation exhibit poorly understood dependencies on the gas used and its flow rate; therefore, the extrapolation is not fully trusted. The extrapolation cannot be checked with existing technologies; however, the atomic standard of pressure will reduce extrapolation uncertainties.Major Accomplishments:
