Doyle Dukes Was a Professional Watch Man
Mr. Dukes' Workshop: A personal farewell to a durable professional
For the last several years, I've always been pleased to notice that my watch has stopped. Getting a new battery was an interesting diversion. I'd leave my office in the morning and walk down Gay Street to No. 111, to the shortest brick building on its block, to find the sunlit workshop of Mr. Doyle Dukes.
It was a fascinating place; cluttered across his counter and up and down his walls were tools and parts of obscure purpose, gears, springs, pinions, lots of roundish metal objects most of us wouldn't recognize if we found them in a pocket. It was like something from a Dickens story or maybe a dark fantasy tale where a mysterious shop turns out to be a secret portal into a different dimension of unknown terror and delight.
Mr. Dukes was the small, quiet man behind the counter. He wore a visor, like an old-time teller, and thick glasses with an eye loupe that made him look much more sinister than he ever turned out to be.
A watch-repair shop is not a place you hang out, like a cafe or a pub or a barber shop, and I regret that I never hung out, never had an unusual repair problem, never got to know Mr. Dukes very well. He didn't know me well enough to recognize me, and truth be told, I wasn't convinced he could see me well. We never swapped any banter about the weather or the Vols or downtown these days. But I liked his place, and I admired a man who knew he was good at what he did, and did it.
Mr. Dukes would give me a number, a formality surely learned from 60 years of running a business on this once-busy block. He'd tell me it might be 20 or 30 minutes. Then I'd go a few doors down to Harold's Deli, and have some breakfast, and go back to the shop.
Without betraying any memory of my having been in there earlier, Mr. Dukes would ask for my number, and study it closely, and find my watch among his dozens of other orders. I admire a methodical professional. And so my watch was good for another year or two.
A couple of weeks ago we lost Mr. Dukes. He died on February 27 at age 91. At the library I ran across an interview with him by newspaperman Dudley Brewer. The late Journal columnist considered Mr. Dukes an interesting old codger even then, a guy who'd been fixing watches downtown every day for 30 years. And that was in 1969.
Dukes appears in library records as a jeweler, the proprietor of Gay Jewelry, but he was better known as a "master watchmaker" who had learned his trade from his dad, who before World War II had a shop around the corner on Vine. Other Dukes brothers ran watch-repair shops around town. There was not much that annoyed him, but one thing was the assumption that a watch couldn't be fixed. "Anything that's been made can be fixed," he would declare, as fact, and then proceed to prove his point.
He was known to work on Rolexes and Bulovas, but he seemed perfectly respectful of my Sharp, which I bought for $3 at a CVS closeout table. He showed no condescension; he was perfectly gracious about it. He knew it keeps as good time as the Rolexes.
He was an eccentric fellow, and there are credible stories that he kept all his cash, hundreds of dollars of it, in a Food Lion bag which served as his cash register. If he owed somebody some money, he'd just dip into it and pay them in wads of cash. That's the sort of detail I wouldn't reveal if he were still there.
He closed his shop a year or two ago. Until I noticed it boarded up, an interview with Doyle Dukes, downtown's most durable merchant, was on my long and ever-longer list of column subjects. He opened his place even before Harold Shersky bought the deli nearby in 1948. When he opened Gay Jewelers, passenger trains still came and went several times a day at the Southern station just down the hill, and Lowell Blanchard was still hosting the likes of Chet Atkins and Archie Campbell across the street at the WNOX Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round. Dukes was already an old man when the mission, Volunteer Ministry Center, moved in almost next door, but the multitudes of vagrants who congregated in front of his store didn't seem to spook him.
He worked until he was close to 90 years old. We like to claim that "50 is the new 40," and we try hard to believe it, but very few of us can expect to remain vital and gainfully employed at 90, doing something we still do well.
I like what's happened to downtown in the last few years. It's a much more fun place to be, especially after 6 p.m. and on weekends than it was the first couple of decades I spent a lot of time here. It's fun to finally see people on the sidewalks every day. But I can't help noticing that in gaining all the new stuff, we're occasionally losing good, modest, practical amenities that aren't being replaced.
Downtown used to support several shops where you can get your watch fixed. Ten years ago, when downtown was dead, there were at least three watch repairmen; 20 years ago, probably twice that many. Now, as far as I know, there aren't any. Part of it, I'm sure, is the technological shift; I hear watch-wearing has declined in recent years because people carry cell phones which show the time. But I worry with all its success that downtown is losing some of its depth: the modest, practical amenities that survived the bleak years when everybody else was giving up on the old neighborhood.

The following article was contributed by David Pincus and originally appeared on his blog Broken Leagues. To see more of David's work focusing on fantasy basketball, visit his blog and follow him on Twitter @brokenleagues.
Pittsburgh is one of the best sports cities in America. They have an historically-great football team, a thriving hockey team, and, at long last, a contending baseball team. Pittsburgh has so much going for it as a sports town that seemingly the only thing it lacks is an NBA franchise. But that wasn't always the case. Way back in 1946, a year before Jackie Robinson appeared in a game and when Harry S. Truman was still president, Pittsburgh had an NBA team: the Ironmen.
Well, a BAA team technically. In 1946, the Basketball Association of America was launched with 11 charter franchises, and of those 11, only the Knicks, Celtics and Warriors are still around today. In 1949, the BAA absorbed the National Basketball League, and the partnership of the two leagues officially spawned the NBA. The Pittsburgh Ironmen was one of the eight original franchises that didn't make the cut.
There's not much to say about the Ironmen other than that they were terrible in virtually every way. At 15-45, they were the worst team in the league, and considering they were worst NBA team in the first year of its existence, when the league was in all likeliness at its absolute worst, the 1946-47 Ironmen could reasonably be considered the worst team — talent-wise — in NBA history. Of the 17 players who suited up for the Ironmen in their inaugural/last season, just four of them would play another year.
The team did make history of a sort by rostering both Roger and Noble Jorgensen, becoming the first NBA team to feature siblings. (Roger averaged 1.5 points per game, and Noble averaged 4.4 points per game. So if you've never heard of them, you're excused.) Coulby Gunther led them in scoring with 14.1 points per game, which he accomplished despite shooting a ghastly 33.6% from the floor. And if you think that percentage is bad (and it is), you might be shocked to learn that his was the best on the team. Yes, the Pittsburgh Ironmen shot 27.1% from the field in 1947, and to indicate just how sucky pro basketball was at the time, the Ironmen were only the ninth-worst shooting team in the league. (The best? The Chicago Stags at 29.8%.)
The most notable player on the Ironmen roster was Pete Maravich's father, Peter "Press" Maravich, who averaged 4.6 points per game in his lone NBA season. But the most notable person on the 1947 Ironmen, without question, was head coach Paul Birch, an asshole of a man who only got the gig because he'd been a star at the local Duquesne University.
How big an asshole was Birch? "Birch was his era's Bobby Knight," Dennis Purdy wrote in Kiss 'Em Goodbye: An ESPN Treasury of Failed, Forgotten, and Departed Teams, "routinely screaming at and demeaning his players on the court, throwing basketballs at players' heads during practice, and throwing punches at their heads as well during games. At halftime, Birch was known to throw chairs at his players in the locker room. … Birch's aggression was hardly confined to his own charges. When he occasionally punched out an opposing player on the road, the crowd would invariably threaten to riot. … One time, when a crowd threatened to beat Birch, his players refused to help him. On more than one occasion, he punched out referees and opposing coaches."
Want more?
Mark Kriegel — Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich:
After an overtime loss, Birch threatened Press with a $100 fine if he so much as came out of the shower. … In Chicago, Birch threw him up against a locker. The players broke it up before Birch could get off any punches. That's not to say the coach didn't hurt him, though. As the season wound down, and the Ironmen were left with just eight or nine men, Birch would keep Press on the bench for entire games.
Charley Rosen — No Blood, No Foul: A Novel:
I'd played against him way back when, and knew him as a fire-breathing perfectionist who cursed his teammates every time they missed a shot. He was also the dirtiest player I'd ever had the displeasure to encounter.
Richard Birch, Paul's son, in an interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune:
He was Bobby Knight times 10. His modus operandi was fear and intimidation of everyone: referees, players, fans. That was his formula for success. He learned it very young and he never changed.
In essence, there was nothing even slightly redeeming about the Pittsburgh Ironmen. Their coach was a clown, their team was a joke, and the stadium that they played in, Duquesne Gardens, could only hold up to 7,000 people because it had been converted from a trolley car barn. The team did not return for a second season and it's probably just as well. A lot of cities would love to have an NBA team, but Pittsburgh probably doesn't need one nor does it want one, especially if it's just going to be as dysfunctional as the last NBA team that called the steel city home.
Bullet Points:
- The Knicks, Celtics and Warriors are considered the oldest NBA franchises, because the league recognizes itself as a continuation of the BAA. The oldest operating basketball team is really the Detroit Pistons though, who have been existence since 1941 when they joined the NBL as the "Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons."
- Pittsburgh did get an ABA team: the Pipers, who promptly moved to Minnesota after one year. In a bizarre turn of events, the Pipers moved back to Pittsburgh just one year later and later changed their name to the "Pittsburgh Condors."
- I only set out to write about the Ironmen because I was inspired by Matthew Wolff's re-branded logo for them, which looks pretty awesome. Plus, I can't imagine many people are writing about the Ironmen these days.

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded features many big names in the hip hop game which look good on paper (Lil' Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy, Nas, Camron, Rick Ross, Bobby V., Chris Brown, and 2 Chainzzz), until you hear it through your speakers. With the likes of her Young Money label mate Drake lending his talents on the track "Champion" (which also features Nas and Young Jeezy) the song is still weak and has a low replay factor. The highlight of the album is her third single, "Beez In The Trap," which features your favorite rapper's favorite rapper, 2 Chainzzzz. The track is catchy, creative beat, and of course features one of the most popular artists of 2012 spitting his simple,but witty lines everyone loves. The low-light of the album has to be her second single "Stupid Hoe." The beat sounds like it took noises from a 5 year olds favorite TV show and put it all together to make a lot of noise. She also goes on to say 'Stupid Hoe' about 100 times in 3 mins and 17 seconds, which becomes annoying after the first 30 seconds.
At the start of 2012 YMCMB Boss, Birdman, bragged that his label would drop about 15 albums this year, if this is the quality of the albums they are planning to release to the world, please keep them. Personally, I was a Nicki Minaj fan before her first album, and after Pink Friday. Now with Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, I can't stand her music. I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone, download "Beez in the Trap" and continue to live your life in peace. I am more than likely deleting this album from my iTunes once I finish this review.

Seeing Emily is still hanging around, Chris grabs her and pulls her into another room. He tells her to leave him and his family alone. Emily asks why he is really upset. Chris admits that Bob asked about Dusty when he woke up. He tells Emily that he has to focus on his family and leaves. Emily finds him a few minutes later and tells him they need to get their stories straight. Chris wonders why; Emily brings up MEMO21, the note and Dusty's death.

At the cottage, Will decides they have to call Sofie to set up some boundaries about Hallie. Gwen is reluctant but agrees. Gwen calls Sofie and asks her to come by the cottage that afternoon. Sofie drops everything to come to the house. Gwen asks Will for reassurance; he says they are absolutely doing the right thing. Sofie arrives with Aaron in tow a few minutes later. They try to talk to her but Sofie is more interested in talking about Hallie. When the baby cries she tries to go to her but Will and Gwen stop her. Aaron goes to check on the baby and Sofie asks what is going on. They tell Sofie that they need to have boundaries between them. "You're going back on your word," Sofie cries, calling Hallie her daughter. Will and Gwen stand firm and Sofie is heartbroken. Aaron comes out of the nursery with Hallie and Sofie asks to say goodbye. They offer to let her hold the baby but Sofie won't. Crying, she tells Hallie that she can't come around for a while and leaves. Aaron follows.
In Old Town, Sofie and Aaron talk about what she did. Sofie tells him she isn't okay with her decision any longer. Aaron tries to make her feel better but Sofie is very depressed and leaves.

DeLand, FL 32720
Man charged with tampering with evidence in DeLand fatal crash
Two 14-year-olds hit on Spring Garden Avenue; one girl died
By Jen Horton
posted Nov 14, 2012 - 4:25:21pm
The Florida Highway Patrol reported Nov. 14 that troopers had arrested 59-year-old James Hugh Hanna III and charged him with tampering with evidence and being an accessory after the fact in connection with the hit-and-run crash that killed 14-year-old Juliana Hobbs and injured her friend, then-14-year-old Rachel Russell.
The fatal crash happened in the evening March 17, as the girls walked along South Spring Garden Avenue in DeLand near Rachel's home.
The Highway Patrol said Hanna is the boyfriend of the woman troopers said was driving the car that hit Juliana and Rachel. Danielle Halverson of DeLand was arrested in October and charged with two felonies: leaving the scene of an accident involving death, and leaving the scene of an accident involving injury. The Highway Patrol said the girls were walking on the wrong side of the road, and that was a factor in the crash.
Halverson was not charged with the crash itself or with causing the girls' injuries; only for leaving the scene.
Hanna was booked into the Volusia County Jail, the Highway Patrol said.
Because of the ongoing investigation, details of the allegations against Hanna that led to his arrest are not yet available, the Highway Patrol said.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Rep. Mike McIntyre was in Brunswick County Tuesday afternoon to present a federal check to Brunswick EMC. We caught up with him to get his reaction to the state's proposed map for congressional redistricting.
The legislature's plan would change the 7th District, which serves southeastern North Carolina. The new map cuts Robeson County in half and adds Onslow and Carteret counties to the district, currently served by McIntyre.
McIntyre says he does not agree with the new proposed map.
"It's clearly a brazen and blatant over attempt to under cut the very support in my own home town and my very neighborhood," McIntyre said. "It's disappointing that they would do this very same thing to other rural counties."
McIntyre will return to Washington Wednesday and says he is against raising the debt ceiling and will vote against an increase.

Tamworth woman fined for 'blinging' her electronic tag
Posted: February 07, 2013|
A TAMWORTH woman ordered to wear an electronic tag must fork out £140 to the courts – after 'blinging' the item with fake diamonds.
Rebecca Gallanagh, aged 22, has hit out at the justice system for wasting time and money after she appeared before Burton Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (February 5).
She had used nail glue to attach dozens of diamante diamonds to the strap of the tag, even spelling out her initials.
But prosecutors from company Serco Home Affairs, who fitted the equipment, argued that decorating the item – which was attached to her ankle – "compromised the integrity" of it.

And magistrates told the Stonydelph resident during a 20-minute hearing that she had committed a "very serious offence".
The former Torc School student was handed a £35 fine, reduced from £55 due to her early guilty plea, along with £85 court costs and a £20 victim support surcharge.
Speaking after her court appearance, Rebecca told the Herald that the matter had been taken too far.
She said: "It's petty. I wouldn't have wasted my time doing it if I knew I was going to be fined for it.
"It's a waste of time and money. There are all these people who go out and breach their orders and then they [prosecute] me for decorating a tag, it's just not right.
"I was actually proud of decorating the tag at the time. I wanted to make it look nice while I had it strapped to me around the house, it was a personal thing.
"[Serco] say I damaged the tag but I didn't – I didn't touch the sensor, it was still working and I was being monitored. When they removed the strap they told me they were going to throw it away anyway."
It was only when Rebecca moved from Kettlebrook Road to Lintly, in Stonydelph, that staff from Serco discovered the decorated tag. Due to her change in address, staff had to replace the old tag with a new one.
"A lady said she had to report it for being decorated," she said.
"She cut the tag off with scissors and then put it in her bag.
"I thought nothing of it until I got a letter from the court last week."
Rebecca was fitted with the monitoring equipment on November 15 for committing a public order offence after fighting outside Bullit nightclub last year.
She was put under a strict curfew order, where she was required to stay at her home address between the hours of 9pm and 7am for three months.
She had to give up her job as a bar assistant at Strykers Bowl, which she hopes to return to.
The new tag was removed at 9pm on Tuesday – the day she appeared before magistrates.
And Rebecca claims it was staff from Serco who told her she would be able to decorate the item.
"The lady who fitted the item said she saw a girl from [Channel 4 TV show] My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding who had "blinged" her tag, and she said I could do that. I saw pictures of it online and checked the leaflet, and nowhere did it say I couldn't decorate it," she added.
Mum April Gallanagh, aged 48, said: "It's pathetic. Once her tag was replaced she didn't decorate it again as she had learned her lesson."
Mark Moore, who represented Rebecca in court, said: "This is a young girl who was coming up to Christmas – there were opportunities where she was out and about and she was trying to make the tag look nice."
Prosecutors for Serco said that decorating the strap "could affect the device" – but admitted that there had been no other breach of Rebecca's curfew order.
The Herald contacted Serco for a comment after the case, but they were unable to provide a response before the Herald's deadline.

Here is another mix of all the songs that follow the theme of AutoTune and synthesizers. I named it Please Forgive Me AutoTune… because I was on the anti-AutoTune bandwagon when it first started being used but it has slowly grown on me. I also was not feeling almost everything Kanye did on 808's & Heartbreak and still am not feeling it but think I have come along way from when all I used to do is hate on it. As you can see many artists get multiple tracks on this mix because of their love of it, like Kanye, S-Preme and Colin Munroe. I tried to include as little T-Pain as possible because honestly I could just stick his whole album up and it wouldn't matter haha, but he only gets two features on this mix. Colin Munroe is by far the most innovative with his use and go figure that someone who can actually SING only uses it to add something different to his songs and not as the basis for his tracks. So enjoy the love/hate that spews forth from this mix but I'm sure no matter what you initially think you will eventually be bumpin this mix everywhere and loving it. Click the break for the tracklist and download link. Enjoy!
EDIT: I know this isn't a mixtape and is more of a playlist of songs that I listen to but it is the only word that could get the point across that this is a group of songs to be downloaded and listened to together.

Hey sorry for the inconvenience with this album, on most computers no password is needed but some of them won't let you access it and since I never entered any password during uploading I am not even sure what it could be.
I would try all the links in the Sharebee link and if that doesn't work then please contact me with your email at email@example.com and I will ensure I get the zip to you securely over email.
MBBB I already hit your email with the zip.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience, I will fix this by my next mixtape.

The Brazilian goalkeeper was forced off at half-time during the 0-0 draw at Sunderland on Tuesday, and Rob Green may again be asked to deputise for Redknapp's first home game in charge of the R's.
Redknapp told the club's website: "Julio looks like he's done a groin.
"We'll send him for a scan on Thursday, once the swelling goes down a bit, and see what the extent of the injury is. We're lucky that we've got two top goalkeepers.
"Cesar has won everything there is to win in the game. He's a top goalkeeper. Rob is an England international keeper and made a fantastic save when he came on.
"He didn't have a lot to do apart from that, but when he was called into action he was fantastic."

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Is Teresa Giudice Spreading Rumors About Melissa Gorga?
Yesterday, Reality Tea had an exclusive interview with a source from The Real Housewives of New Jersey who, among other things, claimed Melissa Gorga never throws birthday parties for her children and purposely didn't invite Joe Gorga's parents to daughter Antonia's sixth birthday.
Melissa vehemently denied all of those rumors on Twitter, and even subtly hinted that she wouldn't be surprised if her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice was behind them!
Melissa retweeted a message from a follower that references Reality Tea's article and reads, "@melissagorga Also 'Not even cake at the house' Who else was obsessed with 'birthday cake' & parties this year. Wonder who their source is."
While the follower (nor Melissa) never mentions Teresa outright, she's the only party-planning, cake-crazy gal we can think of.
Do you think Teresa is spreading rumors about Melissa? Sound off below!

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Almost every photo can benefit from some enhancement, from exposure adjustments to cropping. In this course, author Rich Harrington shows how to improve photos using iPhoto. The course describes how to crop and straighten photos; remove red eye; improve exposure, color, and contrast; and refine images by retouching blemishes, removing noise, and adding special effects like vignettes.
This course was created and produced by Rich Harrington. lynda.com is honored to host this content in our library.
As you're working, you'll need to switch from one image to the next. I want to give you a couple of useful shortcuts to pull that off. One of my favorite ways is using the sorter across the bottom here. I could see all of my images, and that makes it easy to rotate. Now, I can also drag the scrubber bar, and that allows me to see all of the images. In this case, since I'm in an album, they're in the order that I arranged, and this makes it easy for me to quickly switch. You're seeing some images repeated here, because we're going to revisit a couple of the images a few times throughout our lesson.
Now, I can click on a thumbnail to switch. You'll see that it quickly switches to the next photo. You can also use the left and right arrow keys to navigate, and holding down one of those keys will fast scrub through the selected images. So, you can go quick or slow to find what you're looking for. Additionally, you can use the arrow keys at the top here to go ahead and navigate. If I want to, double-clicking will take me out of that view for the Edit mode, or I could go ahead and double-click again, and see a sorter view.
This makes it very easy to see all of the images in the album, and scroll through the list. There's lots of ways to navigate. It's a fairly straightforward process. Just be comfortable. The good news is, is I'm going to be going in a linear fashion today through the images in the library, so it should be pretty simple to keep up.
There are currently no FAQs about Enhancing Photos with iPhoto.

RoboScrum™ version 7.5 is finally here! It has been many years now since the last update to the free RoboScrum™ workbook that I first published in conjunction with my Agile2010 paper, Scrum Metrics for Hyper-Productive Teams.
The new version now supports all valid Sprint Lengths, from 1 to 4 weeks in length, and up to 1,000 Sprint Backlog Items! Yes, you still have to copy data around to the Trend and Scale tabs, just like before. I don't want to use scripts because they make portability a nightmare but I acknowledge it could be made much easier to use if I did.
RoboScrum™ remains free to use and redistribute; however, the name RoboScrum™ is a fully protected trademark of Rapid Scrum LLC and all rights are reserved. No support or warranty is expressed or implied.
I have been using this version in production for about six months in the 1-Week Sprints mode and have found no outstanding issues but YOU will find bugs! WHEN (not "if") you do, please EMAIL ME a copy of the errant workbook along with a detailed description of the problem you have seen and steps to reproduce it.
Instructions initially are minimal and there is little error checking of the sort that the previously published version had. So keep an eye on all of your tabs and be sure everything is up to date correctly before using any of the charts or metrics. And now, without further ado...

Today the Fahrnberger, located in the middle of the scenic Mostviertel Alps, presents itself as a thoroughly modern, up-to-date hotel. Göstling/Ybbs Göstling/Ybbs on the map An Ayurveda massage in the "Hüttn Spa" with panoramic views, followed by a visit to the cedar sauna, the aroma steam bath, or the infrared cabin, and then, as the culmination, a four-course meal at the hotel restaurant with fresh products from the surrounding organic farms: this could be one of your days at the Hotel Fahrnberger, in Lower Austria's Göstling an der Ybbs. Despite its easy accessibility from Vienna, this region surrounding the 1,808-metre Hochkar is still something of an insider's tip. Great emphasis is placed here on low-impact and environmentally compatible tourism: summer activities include hiking, Nordic walking, biking, and rafting, and in winter visitors can enjoy skiing on eighteen kilometres of prepared slopes, snowboarding in eastern Austria's first freestyle snowpark, and cross-country skiing, tobogganing, and snowshoe hiking. The ideal starting point for all these activities — or simply for a few wonderfully lazy days of kicking back and allowing yourself to be pampered — is the Hotel Fahrnberger. Renovated in 2008, the hotel now offers stylish and environmentally conscious lodging in rooms furnished completely with wood floors and natural fibres. Equally harmonious and lovingly appointed are the restaurant and the cosy breakfast pavilion. Be sure to check the Internet for attractive package deals — ranging from ski weekends in the winter and hiking weeks in the summer to intensive Ayurveda treatments — offering nearly anything a bargain-seeking holiday maker could ask for. www.hotel-fahrnberger.at Add to favourites article added to list of favourites Recommend Print Activate permanently and allow data transmission Facebook Google+ Twitter Pinterest By activating these fields, information will be sent to Facebook, Google or Pinterest in the USA and can be used and stored by these companies. 1 Click for more privacy: click here to activate Pinterest 1 Click for more privacy: click here to activate Twitter 1 Click for more privacy: click here to activate Google 1 Click for more privacy: click here to activate Facebook

Russian officials say almost a thousand people were hurt when a meteorite exploded over Russia Friday. Most of the injuries were from broken glass.
Experts estimate the ten ton meteor traveled at about 33,000 miles per hour. Windows shattered and the roof of a factory collapsed.
This is on the same day an asteroid half the size of a football field sailed closer to Earth than any other known object of its size.
An expert from RIT talked with News10NBC's Lia Lando on Roc City Tonight Friday.

Re: Drummers in Web Design
I think Flash was asking for trouble by naming themselves "Flash"- they should have chosen something like "substance" instead. Anyway, it sounds to me that a lot of complaints are about sites that are noticeably done in Flash-some of my favorites are ones I had to look in the source code before I even realized they were in flash. I must say these anti-flash opinions are not reflected in the choices many of my peers' websites. I should mention that we're mostly jazz musicians in a big city (Chicago), so there is less concern with reaching people with dial-up modems as they represent an insignificant piece of our demographic. Elitist? Well, yeah, that's what jazz often is, frankly.
Another debate is mp3 players- autostart or not? (I'm talking specifically about musician sites-one should NEVER autostart music on non-music sites IMHO) I know a lot of visitors complain when music starts automatically, but look at it from the musicians side. A lot of time and money is sunk in these sites with the hope of selling some music, and why risk someone not finding, or choosing to click the player? Is there an implied agreement when a visitor visits a musician site that he/she agree to deal with an automatically starting mp3 player? I just found a site that automatically starts the mp3 player but offers the opportunity to turn it off. Unfortunately it reloaded and turned back on on every page! That's definitely annoying.

The distribution coefficient is the ratio of the amount of compound in one solvent to the amount of compound in the other solvent. This can be expressed mathematically as the following equation:
In this case, caffeine has a distribution coefficient of 4.6 between methylene chloride and water can be used to find the amount of compound in the methylene chloride and in the water.
First, we plug in the value of the distribution coefficient into the expression above:
In this problem, solvent A is methylene chloride and solvent B is water. We can replace the variables with the actual solvents.
Next, since there are 52 mg total of caffeine, we know that the amounts in each of the solvents must add up to 52 mg. The equation from the previous section tells us the ratio between the two solvents. These two pieces of information can be combined and used to find the amount of caffeine in water:
Therefore, the amount of caffeine in water is 9.3 mg.
To find the amount of caffeine in methylene chloride, subtract the amount of caffeine in water from the total amount of caffeine.
There will be 42.7 mg of caffeine in the methylene chloride after extraction.

mophie juicepak air for iPhone 4 - battery charger review
The mophie juicepak air for iPhone 4 is a lighter charging solution for highly mobile users. If you need to keep going but want the minimum of bulk to slow your down -- if you need a case that can give your 70% of a charge at just about 70% of the size and slightly less cost than a juicepak plus, then here's your solution. To see how it held up for me under the rigors of CES 2011, read on for the review after the break!
As I said in my mophie juicepak plus review, trade shows are the ultimate test of any battery for me. I'm on the go for 18 hours a day and my iPhone 4 is my lifeline to the world. It keeps me in contact, it lets me help run TiPb, and on top of all of that it lets me shoot all the show video and photos you see here on the site. It's bad enough AT&T hits my iPhone 4 battery like a freight train but the constant usage would run any device down. Luckily the mophie juicepak air packs some extra charge in a fairly unobtrusive package.
The mophie juicepak plus is black with a painted silver band meant to match the aesthetics of your iPhone. Mophie told me at CES that they'd done a lot of engineering work to prevent breaks around the cutouts and increase protection and it shows. It is a slider case and there have been some worries about slider cases scratching the glass but I didn't have any problems. (I also wipe down my iPhone before sliding.) Also, it sometimes takes a few, wiggling tries to get the iPhone dock port lined up and properly seated.
There are cutouts for the 3.5mm headset jack, rear camera and flash, the mute switch and sleep and volume buttons. The cutouts are deep due to the size of the juicepak but didn't interfere with usage. Not having button extenders like the juicepak plus was a different kind of compromise -- less worry about them not depressing properly but you still have to dig for them sometimes.
The micro-USB charger is at the bottom right. Not using a dock cable to charge means you have to carry a separate micro-USB cable around with you, and doesn't let you use your existing dock-compatible car or video cables while the mophie is on. Understandable given the size of a 30-pin dock port but still annoying at times.
On the handy side there's a series of battery level lights so you can always tell how much of a charge your mophie is packing with the touch of a button
The juicepack air is the lighter, slighter charging solution in mophie's stable. It weighs less than the juicepak plus but it also provides less power. About 70% of a regular charge. That's still a good boost, though not as good as the plus given it's still significant size.
In my CES tests those results weren't just marketing. It's really tough to judge consistently since usage patterns always vary but when I slapped on the juicepak air I could pretty much go as long as I had on the iPhone-only charge. (I carried a juicepak plus with me as well -- them were long days!)
When you charge the mophie via micro-USB it passes the charge on to the iPhone as well, so at night you can charge them both without having to plug in multiple charges for each one, or get up and switch.
The mophie juicepak air is still bulky but not as much as the juicepak plus. It extends battery life but not as much as the plus. It doesn't cost as much either. If you're a hardcore road warrior the difference in bulk and price isn't a big deal -- get the juicepak plus. If you're light user who only needs a little boost now and then, save yourself a few ounces and bucks and go for the air.
Get your mophie juicepak air for iPhone 4 now from the TiPb iPhone 4 Accessory Store...
- Convenient case form factor
- 70% recharge for iPhone
- Pass-through recharge for simultaneous charge
- Solid construction
- Uses Micro-USB so not compatible with dock accessories
- 70% charge still means big case

mophie juicepak air for iPhone 4 - battery charger review
I really wish they'd thought about people using skins with slider and made it a little looser.
I use the Wrapsol drop protection skin and I love it. IT has saved my phone from drops. Even face down and back down drops...even a toss! So I never take the skin off unless I'm changing it.
anyway since it is thick, it makes it difficult to take the mophie juice pack air off.
So I'm gonna go with the external battery...the larger one that also works with the iPad.
I really wish Mophie had thought about skin usage during their design process.
Two questions:
- When connecting the juicepak (with an iPhone inside) with a computer via Micro-USB cable, can you also sync it with iTunes or does the juicepak connection only let through electricity but no data?
- When you have this case on the iPhone continuously, does it constantly charge the iPhone (so that the internal battery is only used when the juicepak is empty), or how does it work exactly?
The juicepack air charges and syncs to itunes with the case on.
Both batteries will be charged.
When you use it, you can choose to keep the iphone battery charged, or only use it when the iphones battery is near-dead. The second choice uses less power, so you can go longer than if it constantly charges the iphone.
All these questions are answered on Mophie's FAQ website.
This is looking very good and useful
NIce case, but I prefer the Pong Research <a href="http://www.pongresearch.com/science.html"> iPhone case </a>. Studies conducted by numerous scientific teams in several nations have raised troubling questions about possible associations between heavy cell phone use and serious health dangers. That's why I investigated ways to cell phone radiation protection . In the end though, I found a couple of reviews of Pong Research's cases, that convinced me to give it a try. This case is built with an antenna in between layers of the back cover, which reduces exposure to radiation while optimizing the mobile reception.

Super Mario Bros.
(NES, Wii )
First game I ever playedBy SupaKoopaTroopa Score:
May 01, 2010 10:15PM PST
Super Mario Bros. was the first video game I ever played. It was back in 1989, I was 2 years old, it was my 11 year old sister's Nintendo and game. We were sitting on the couch together, I was watching her play, and she gave me a turn.
I figured out how to run, stop, and jump on enemies, but I never quite could figure out how to simultaneously run and jump over a gap in the ground. I only played another 2 turns, doing the same thing, not getting passed the same gap, and I really didn't really play video games for a few more years.
When I was around 6 years old, we moved to a new house and we still had this game. My sisters and I stayed up late into the night playing.
The graphics were good for it's time, I don't know what to compare it to, there were games with better graphics on the Nintendo that came later, but Mario was more about the gameplay than the graphics. The game seemed so original, more so than Mega Man or Zelda. An Italian plumber that goes around jumping on mushroom, flying turtles and shooting fireballs out his ass.
The controls were fluid, unlike a lot of choppy controls in other games of the time. And the music were instant classics. You can ask anyone to hum you the tune of Super Mario Bros. This little game did everything right and had such a huge impact on society. It is truly deserves it's place in the history books of video game and digital culture.

Community Animated Shorts: Coming Soon to Hulu!
Finding the Community hiatus too excruciating to bear? With the show's return still more than a week away — new episodes begin on Thursday, March 15 — NBC and Hulu are hoping to mitigate hiatus woes with a trio of animated shorts that will air on Hulu beginning Wednesday, March 7. Collectively, the shorts tell the story called "Abed's Master Key," which follows Abed as he begins working for Dean Pelton as an assistant and finds himself in all kinds of trouble. They should be a great way to build anticipation for the show's upcoming return, and explore another little corner of the Community universe that doesn't make it to primetime.
"The show fits into the web world very well," explained Danny Pudi, who plays Abed, during a chat with EW at PaleyFest. "[They are] almost like the tags we do at the end of an episode. Sometimes they might tie-in loosely [to the regular episodes], but it's more about what other adventures these guys are up to."
We're feeling quite animated about these upcoming shorts ourselves!

Becoming a step family is weird
So, my kids are someone's stepchildren now. That's weird, right? Well, maybe not weird for you, but it's pretty weird for me.
This situation isn't surprising, given the divorced nature of my relationship with the boys' father. And I knew he was dating. And I knew when he got engaged. And knew when they decided on a wedding date. Hell, he even asked me for recommendations on wedding photographers.
We actually have a pretty good relationship, me and the ex. You see, when things came to a painful, obvious end, we knew we had to carry on civilly because of the kids. There was more than a decade of co-parenting to come, so why make each other miserable?
The end result of all that is my kids are stepkids. They have a stepmother and a stepsister now. And it's just weird. It wasn't that the ex got remarried. Seriously, I was thrilled he had found someone. He's a good person, deserves happiness, blah, blah, blah.
Part of what was weirding me out was the word itself, especially when it was going to be applied to my kids. What is a step person anyway? It wasn't something that struck me as positive. Did the origin of the word imply someone was stepped on or over? Was having a step person in your life considered a step down? A step up?
So away to the Internet I went. Apparently the word comes from the Old English "steop," which indicated bereavement. Basically at that time, any child who lost a parent was considered an orphan. When the surviving parent remarried, the child was said to be in bereavement for the lost parent and thus a "steopchild."
Well obviously in most cases when stepfamilies are formed these days, everyone is alive and well — just divorced. Hey, don't judge. Things happen.
And it wasn't like this was my first step-rodeo, to coin a phrase. Back in my other life, the ex's mother got married. More accurately, remarried. So as adults, he gained a stepfather and I stepfather-in-law. And with that marriage came a stepsister and stepnephew, trailing the in-law part for me.
There was also the stepfather-in-law's ex-wife and her husband — the step-sister-in-law's mother and stepfather, making them my step-in-laws father's monkey's uncle … ??
Pretty much the whole system just fell apart, especially given the fact that my father-in-law was still good friends with his ex-wife and her new husband. That resulted in a lot of Fourth of July gatherings, random weekends and birthdays spent with them.
At first, when people asked me if I had plans for the weekend, I'd trot out the family orchard — it was way too complicated to be a mere tree anymore — and try to explain who was what to who and why we were spending time with them.
Finally it just became too exhausting. I realized why everyone in small towns are just "cousins." Yeah, they're related by blood, marriage, a few divorces and some odd land splits but in the end, when push comes to shove, they're just "family."
So I resolved the word thing. I knew its etymology, but I was still feeling off about the whole thing. For this, I was going to have to dig deep. After some serious reflection, I knew I wasn't feeling off-kilter because my ex was getting remarried.
It was the fact that my little boys were going to be living with someone else. Another woman. Another mother. Not their mother, but still, a mother. And despite how much I try to eschew typical Mom behavior, there are still certain reactions, thoughts, instincts if you will, that I have about my children.
Yes, they are a sticky, smelly, loud couple of baboons for the most part. But do them harm? There's no place deep and dark enough you can hide.
And if I felt that way about my kids, then she felt the same way about hers and some of that would transfer to mine, and she would look after them like they were her own but they weren't and just who did she think she was?!
So the only logical thing to do was embark on some Disney-esque scheme to make sure they didn't get married, right? Yeah, no.
The only logical thing to do was to put on my big-girl chonies and sit down and talk with this woman — over a salad of course, because that's what real women do.
And that's when the weirdness became flop-sweat, junior-high-dance awkward. Sentences started simultaneously, followed by stereo "No, you go first," then long silences. The salads were good, so there was that.
We eventually hit our stride and began to have a conversation. Come to find out, she was worried about things, too. I guess you don't become something out of a Grimm's story every day. Apparently, popular culture hasn't done much to enhance the reputation of stepmothers.
So there we were, two women, two mothers and some soggy croutons, trying to figure out how to make this work. And the answer was, well somehow. It would be weird and awkward. We were probably going to end up knowing things about each other that we'd rather not.
But we had to because in the end, from now until it all comes to an end, we're family.
