Narragansett, R.I. -- April 14, 2003 -- The Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting and The Providence Journal are co-sponsoring Science Beyond Politics, a seminar for news editors, on April 24-25 at the Providence Journal Building in Providence.
The seminar will feature, on Thursday, an opening lecture by Dr. Margaret Leinen, Assistant Director for Geosciences, National Science Foundation, titled "Balanced News Reporting: A Challenge for Science and Journalism." Her lecture will focus on how scientists and editors can work together to explain issues fairly and accurately.
The day-long seminar on Friday will highlight a number of topics, addressed by noted scientists, journalists, and environmental policy experts. In a lecture on the "Constituency of Ignorance," Cornelia Dean, Science Editor, The New York Times, will discuss how science makes the news. Eric Schaeffer, Director, The Environmental Integrity Project, will speak on "Environmental Reporting: Distinguishing Opinion from Fact."
The news editors will take part in a panel discussion on "Brayton Point: Explaining Complex Stories," moderated by editor Bud Ward, that will focus on how editors can provide guidance to their staff in covering science-based stories, pitfalls to avoid, and what makes an issue like Brayton Point a page-one story.
Other workshop leaders include Rick Greenwood, Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission, Mark Van Noppen, The Armory Revival Company, and Sandra Whitehouse, Environmental Consultant, who lead a walking tour along the Woonasquatucket River in Providence. Journalist and author Ross Gelbspan will speak on the current and potential impacts of climate change in "Climate Change: Drama Camouflaged as Science."
The seminar will close with a roundtable discussion on "News in the Near Future."
The Metcalf Institute was established in 1997 with an endowment from the foundations of three news organizations: A.H. Belo Corporation, owner of the Dallas Morning News and parent company of The Providence Journal, The Providence Journal Company, and the Philip Graham Fund, the foundation of The Washington Post. Additional funding was provided by the Telaka Foundation. The institute was established with the intent of helping journalists become better informed about science and research and to strengthen communication between journalists and scientists.

Founder Gus Belt got Steak 'n Shake off the ground in Normal, Illinois back in 1934, luring customers in part by grinding steaks into burgers while they watched. Today the chain has more than 380 locations in eighteen states throughout the southern and Midwestern U.S., including several in St. Louis, and its brand still revolves around upgrading the traditional hamburger sandwich with patties made from higher-grade beef. Shoestring fries, baked beans, and one of Steak 'n' Shake's signature cold dessert drinks (milkshakes in mocha, peach, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and banana flavors) make one heck of a big meal, especially if one opts for the Double Steak Burger, which is not only enormous but allows its eater to dress it him or herself, as the pickle, lettuce and tomato are served on the side. Steak n' Shake is easy to track down on Voice Places.

This course covers the entire photographic workflow in Apple Aperture, from import to enhancement to output. Author Derrick Story covers organizing image collections with star ratings, labels, and Smart Albums, and using the image editing tools to adjust exposure, retouch flaws, and correct color balance issues. And one of the most noteworthy features in Aperture is explored in detail: its ability to store video clips alongside the stills from digital cameras, then combine them to create stunning multimedia slideshows.
This course was updated on 10/03/12. Updated movies cover the features added through version 3.3, including Retina display support, iCloud photo sharing, streamlined integration with iPhoto, and much more.
There are a variety of third-party Export plug-ins that are available for Aperture that allow you to do fun stuff like send your photos directly to Facebook. Or if you do a lot of FTP transfer, you can use a plug-in to send your photos directly to your FTP site. You can find these plug- ins on the Aperture page. You go to Apple.com/Aperture, click on the Resources button there, and you will see another link for all of the plug-ins.
So, let me show you a little bit how this works. Let's say that I wanted to send this photo directly to my Facebook account. Well, there is an export plug-in for that. So, I just click on the photo, and then I go up to File. I go to Export. I will see any plug-ins that I have loaded from the Resources page on Aperture, right here. Now you'll notice that it says 32-bit. So, we're in a bit of a transition phase right now, and it depends on when you're listening to this movie.
If you're listening to this movie five years after I recorded it, the transition is probably over. If you're listening to this movie soon after I recorded, we're still in the middle of this transition. But Aperture 3 is written in 64-bit. It's a 64-bit app. That means it can take advantage of more memory. You have performance enhancements, especially when you're running it with Snow Leopard or later. A lot of the plug-ins that are out there are in 32-bit. So, what you actually have to do is move from 64-bit to 32-bit mode if you want to use an older plug-in.
It's not that painful, but I'll let you decide for yourself. So, I'll go ahead and just click on this right here, and I'll get this message right here. If I click the Reopen button, what Aperture is going to do is reopen in 32-bit mode. So, I can use that plug-in. So, we'll do that. It's going to relaunch right now. Now we haven't set up this particular plug-in, so I'm going to go ahead and just close this, and we'll just say Fine! So, then we could go ahead and start using our plug-in in 32-bit mode.
I'm going to cancel this. But now we're in 32-bit mode, which means when we go back to work, we're not taking advantage of maybe all the memory that we have or some of the performance enhancements. So, how do we get back to 64-bit mode? Well, it's really not that hard. All you have to do is just basically quit Aperture. I'm going to show you one thing before we relaunch. The short answer is then you just relaunch Aperture, but while we're here, let's get info. I'm going to do Command+I. If you wanted to just switch to 32-bit mode on your own, this is the way you do it.
You just do Command+I, and then you check this box right here. But we don't want to do that. We want to go back to 64-bit mode. So, now, all we have to do is just launch Aperture again, and now we're back in 64-bit mode. So, this was as much a movie about 32 -bit versus 64-bit as it was for the Export plug-ins, but I'll tell you, this is the spot where you're really going to run into this issue is with the Export plug-ins and also some of the edit with plug-ins.
So, I wanted you to be up to speed, so you knew what was going on if you had this show up on your screen.

The Festival of Pirs is an ethnographic study of the religious life of the village of Gugudu in Andhra Pradesh. It focuses on the public event of Muharram, which is practiced by urban Shi'i communities across South Asia, but takes on a strikingly different color in Gugudu because of the central place of a local pir, or saint, called Kullayappa. The story of Kullayappa is pivotal in Gugudu's religious culture, effectively displacing the better-known story of Imam Hussain from Shi'a Islam, and each year 300,000 pilgrims from across South India visit this remote village to express their devotion to Kullayappa. As with many villages in South India, Gugudu is mostly populated by non-Muslims, yet Muslim rituals and practices play a crucial role in its devotion. In the words of one devotee, "There is no Hindu or Muslim. They all have one religion, which is called 'Kullayappa devotion (bhakti).'" Afsar Mohammad explores how the diverse religious life in the village of Gugudu expands our notions of devotion to the martyrs of Karbala, not only in this particular village but also in the wider world.

Crooked Paths: Reflections on Socialism, Conservatism, and the Welfare State, by Peter Clecak
Skeptical Socialist
Crooked Paths: Reflections on Socialism, Conservatism, and the Welfare State.
by Peter Clecak.
Harper & Row. 206 pp. $10.95.
Peter Clecak is a chastened socialist. In his previous book, Radical Paradoxes, Clecak was critical of some influential American left-wing thinkers, arguing that they were insufficiently committed to democracy. In Crooked Paths he is critical of the democratic-socialist tradition itself. He comes to the camp of his conservative, neo-conservative, and liberal enemies with white flag in hand—not exactly surrendering but at least willing to admit that he is "more skeptical than ever about the theoretical coherence and moral aptness—not to mention the political utility—of democratic socialism."
He comes, moreover, with a bill of particulars: democratic socialists have been self-righteous, presuming their notions to be morally superior to all others; they have been simplistic, grouping all opponents of an extended welfare state with the reactionary forces of the Right; and they have been evasive, not facing up to the difficulties inherent in governmental responses to social and economic problems.
Clecak also shrewdly acknowledges that a growing number of persons have a vested interest in an expanding public sector: media people, administrators, social scientists, consultants, educators, public-advocacy lawyers, urban planners, and mental-health professionals. As Clecak knows, many people—including many poor people—are sick of the government's continual meddling in their lives. Governmental intervention, he insists, is not necessarily the best medicine for all our social ills, but one would not know that if one only read liberal and Left commentators who, Clecak says, "have brushed aside far too cavalierly" legitimate questions about the proper nature and degree of state activity.
A democratic socialist's "confession"—for Clecak still thinks of himself as a socialist—is unexpected, useful, even appealing. Many people, I suspect, will praise this book for its absence of ideological passion as well as its ecumenical piety, since Clecak asks "liberals . . . to reconsider becoming democratic socialists, and democratic socialists . . . to adopt elements of a conservative vision, [and] conservatives . . . to entertain socialist ideas. . . ." Who can resist this truism dressed up as political wisdom?
Yet at the risk of appearing to shoot a man when he is humbly offering a peace pipe, I should like to argue that Clecak's book is not only slipshod, it is also much less critical of socialism than it at first appears to be. (In addition, the prose is dreary—the book often reads like a committee report.)
Taking a cue from Robert L. Heilbroner, Clecak argues that the notion of relative scarcity has forced socialists to change their long-range strategies and short-run tactics. Because the future promises to be one of diminishing resources, it will be impossible to realize a society where, as Marx would have it, each will be rewarded according to his needs. Yet Clecak never clearly says what, precisely, is required of socialist theory now that it cannot lure mankind on with dreams of an abundant future. In fact, it is hard to know where Clecak stands theoretically, since his book exists in that dim zone where politics, economics, and culture intersect—a zone that befuddles all but the most rigorous of thinkers. And Clecak is not rigorous.
As a political theorist, in fact, Clecak fails badly. Though generous to liberals and conservatives, he does not seem to have grappled with the best liberal and conservative thought. It is not true, for example, that those who question socialist assumptions are those who "stress moral visions above all," for the most sophisticated defenders of limited constitutional government and the mixed economies of the West—men like Raymond Aron and F.A. Hayek—are suspicious of moral approaches to politics and political economy. And Michael Oakeshott, the English conservative, explicitly eschews any connection between politics and morality. It is not enough to pay one's respects to one's enemies; one must know the precise nature of their argument against socialism.
In any case, Clecak's theoretical generosity is somewhat misleading, for when he gets down to making practical proposals we discover the old socialist animus against the marketplace. Clecak wants to find a mechanism of allocation that can provide a "just distribution of goods and services"—one that displaces the "supremacy of the economic marketplace" as the final arbiter of a person's intelligence and ability. According to Clecak, once a basic portion of income and wealth is distributed equally, the state should "develop genuinely meritocratic criteria for allocating the rest."
Clecak assures us that these criteria should be arrived at by democratic means, yet the implementation of such criteria would enormously increase the ressentiment of the country's citizens, placing constitutional democracy under a well-nigh intolerable burden. People are inclined to accept their economic fate when it is the result of their luck in the "neutral" world of the marketplace—and when they know it is not directly related to their intrinsic worth. They would be less inclined, I think, to accept their share if it were seen as a judgment on their social and personal worth. And it would not matter if that share were to be assigned to them by democratically-elected politicians, since Americans tend to distrust even those whom they vote for.
Such ressentiment, moreover, would probably exist even if there were no question of relative scarcity, for even in a cornucopian society people would be envious of someone else's bigger portion if they thought it came by way of political connections or deals. It is doubtful, then, that the state could maintain its authority and legitimacy if it ventured so extensively into distribution. Does not the experience of the past twenty years in the United States support the following "iron law": the more the government tampers with the daily lives of its citizens, the less authority it ends up having?
Clecak not only thinks the government should assign people their income, he also thinks that it should at times tell them how to spend their money. The state, he says, should get rid of "tasteless opulence," and it should also make sure that there are "fewer plastic goods." Finally, like many socialists, Clecak conjures up "rights" that are ill-defined and virtually meaningless—e.g., "the equal right to a secure life and the equal right to live well."
If clecak is less than satisfactory in his reflections upon domestic questions, he is even weaker when he comments upon foreign affairs—something, I should add, that he does only in passing, perhaps because he is convinced that this area is much easier for a socialist to deal with. For Clecak socialism means supporting a reduced defense budget and fighting militant anti-Communism—which is, he says, the stock-in-trade of "ambitious political figures." Clecak sees anti-Communism as a tedious American pathology that has been used to bolster defense spending and that has resulted in "protecting a host of tottering, often corrupt regimes. . . ." One hates to bore him with historical details, but he seems to have forgotten about the Marshall Plan.
Like an instant breakfast food, Clecak's recipe for American foreign policy has a few simple directions. Most of the world, it seems, is rapidly turning socialist; therefore, if we want to get on with them, we too must turn socialist. American socialists, unlike American conservatives, can negotiate these rapids because, qua socialists, they have a better understanding of global currents. They also have a better rapport with their fellow socialists throughout the world.
Clecak's sketch of a socialist foreign policy is simply inadequate—less a sketch than a few random jottings. The carelessness with which he treats the subject is puzzling, since one assumes that a socialist would be especially concerned about the global problem of an unequal distribution of income and resources. Some socialists, in fact, see this as the main item on the socialist agenda; Richard Lowenthal, the German social democrat, has recently argued that socialism must concern itself with negotiating "a fairer deal for the poor, underdeveloped countries. . . ." Yet, preoccupied with devising strategies of absolute fairness, Clecak scants this question and others—détente and international trade, for example—that have a direct bearing upon domestic socioeconomic arrangements. Perhaps it is not fair to ask Clecak to have written a different book, but one can say that Clecak's brand of "conservative democratic socialism" is not adequate to the task at hand. The paths to the future are crooked indeed—more crooked and more various than Clecak cares to consider.

Nick Page
Comedy Writer
Nick Page got into comedy for a bet, he's still not sure if he's won. He turned professional 4 months after his first open mic appearance, helped by working with Steve Coogan's 'Baby Cow' production company and an approach from the BBC who needed someone with a knowledge of property and a bit of life for a new series. That offer turned into 3 series (so far) of 'Escape to the Country', which attracts daytime audience share of over 30% and has moved to prime time as well.
Despite gaps in his gigging schedule caused by filming, Nick is performing all over the country, and is at home compering a rowdy Friday night comedy club as he is doing a one man show at a corporate event
His material is a surprising mixture of cynical observation and storytelling, drawing on his useless degree (International Politics and Far Eastern History) and inability to do a proper job (he was an estate agent but is mostly cured).

It's no secret that we're obsessed with the notion of celebrity. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that according to a UK Daily News report, 86 percent of mothers view celebrities as their inspiration for maintaining a good work life balance. Or, maybe it is surprising.
Victoria Beckham ranked first on the list, while the classification for non-celebrity mothers came in at number nine. Can this really be true? Are we more inspired by Posh Spice's ability to check her kid's math homework after jet-setting across the globe than we are a single mother working a double shift at a diner who still reads her kids a bedtime story every night? While it may appear to be that way at face value, there some other data points in the survey that add a bit of much needed context for this statistical phenomenon.
It is interesting to note that this same survey found that 96 percent of mothers feel money is the least important factor in raising good kids. Nearly all the mothers interviewed would prefer to be a good person than to make a name for themselves and earn lots of money. This may seem odd because celebrities obviously are known for making a name for themselves and getting paid lots of money to do it. However, there are some celebrity parents who are known for valuing their family life above their career aspirations. I think this notion of sacrifice and service played a big role in the survey responses since names such Angelina Jolie and Princess Diana are featured on the list. These two women are known for their charity efforts and having a close bond with their children.
In my opinion, the survey shows us that regardless of any mom's socio-economic status, we are all faced with the same challenge: how to meet life's demands and still be present for our kids. We don't always have to find inspiration from those who are living life from the same vantage point as we are. I think we can be inspired by those who face similar circumstances, but are at the other end of the spectrum and have found a way to make it work.
Celebrity moms have a tremendous amount of pressure and competing demands for their time simply because of their notoriety. They are faced with the challenge of not only being present for their kids, but they also have to work to protect their kids' privacy in ways that many everyday moms do not. Their work obligations can make it difficult to be home and tuck their kids in at night or drop their kids off to school in the morning. These are simple things that the average mom might take for granted, but are a central part of ensuring that the child has a balanced life.
For this reason, I do think a lot of normal moms find it inspirational when a celebrity mom is willing to make the necessary sacrifices to be present for her kids and give them a normal life. If we can admire Victoria Beckham for wearing a great pair of shoes, surely we can also admire her for being ever-present in her children's lives despite the demands of her business?
I don't care who you are or how much money you have, being a mom is still the toughest job on the planet. I am inspired by any mom who does whatever she has to do to put her kids first whether she is a celebrity, or not.
Who is your motherhood inspiration?

The Dr of the NFL's Fearless Forecast
AFC Championship Game-New England @ Denver
Is there some sort of immutable law that states that if, in the pre-season, you pick a team to go to the Super Bowl, that you are not allowed to pick against them in the championship game? If so, I'm in a difficult spot. Before the year began, my prognostication was a Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl, more on Seattle shortly, but I'm leaning against Brady and company today. Here's why. Too much is being made about last week when New England ran over Indianapolis. As we pointed out, Indy couldn't stop the run all year, so let's make LeGarrett Blount out to be Jim Brown just yet. The Broncos run defense has been stout all year [ranked 7th in NFL] and they will provide much more resistance than the Colts did. Look for Brady to come out throwing in this game vs. a porous Broncos secondary that just lost its' best corner in Chris Harris and is without their best pass rusher in Von Miller. I fully expect the Pats to consistently move the ball and Brady to amass at least 350 yards passing.
Bill Bellichick has a conundrum in this match up vs. Peyton, if he stacks his chips to stop Denver's running game, Manning will devour his secondary, and if he stays in a cover 2 to prevent the big play, Peyton will audible into a run and Knowshon Moreno and company will run up and down the field on a terrible Patriot run defense [ranked 30th in NFL]. People forget that because the Colts couldn't take advantage of it because they were a poor running team, Denver will.
In what promises to be a high scoring shootout, TD's over FG's will be the difference. Which team will convert in the Red Zone? Peyton completed 72% of his Red Zone passes and threw 37 red zone TD's with zero INT's during the regular season, look for that trend to continue. In addition, New England will be playing a road playoff game for the first time in 7 years. The Patriots are 1-5 vs. the spread in their last 6 road contests, and are 0-5 vs the number in their last 5 games played on glass. Broncos advance to the Super Bowl.
Denver 37 New England 30.
NFC Championship Game-San Francisco @ Seattle
I've been going back and forth on this one all week. Seattle's been the best team all year but the 49ers are red hot and playing better right now. Home field is huge in this one but the 49ers front 7 vs. Seattle's erratic O-line can quiet things down. Russell Wilson concerns me, he's not played well the last 4 or 5 games and he'll be without Percy Harvin. But Colin Kaepernick has been awful in both games he's played in this building.
As good as Seattle's defense is, you can run it occasionally on them. The 49ers ran for 163 yards in week 14 win against Seattle, can Gore and company repeat this on the road? This is the key to the game, if Gore is producing, the 49ers can sneak out with a win, if not, Seattle will pressure Kaepernick, contain his rushing lanes, and force him into mistakes. Much has been made of the 49ers resurgence on offense since the return of Michael Crabtree, but Richard Sherman will effectively eliminate him and Vernon Davis will have his hands full with Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas who are the best Safety tandem in the league.
I think San Francisco must get off to a healthy start to take the crowd out of it, otherwise things could snowball. Kaepernick completes just 54% of his passes when he's trailing. Their offense is built for long drives, not short ones. This is why Gore is the key to the game, by establishing the run and sending a physical message, it could set the 49ers up for the upset. We all know that Seattle is near invincible at home but San Francisco is better equipped than any other team to pull this off.
So who wins? In a game that promises to be a tight, low scoring affair, I think it's Seattle's year. I trust Russell Wilson more in this spot not to make a critical error than I do Kaepernick. If both teams struggle to run it, which I expect, it gets to which QB will avoid the big mistake. No defense is better than Seattle's at stopping the opposing QB, with the combination of pass rush and coverage ability. Look for Seattle's secondary to get the best of Kaepernick and with the homefield to back them, Seattle returns to the Super Bowl.
Seattle 19 San Francisco 13
There are 3 universal constants in the galaxy, death, taxes and Rafael Nadal winning the French Open. Sunday, with his straight set demolition of David Ferrer, Rafa captures Paris for an amazing 8thtime! He is now the only man to win a grand slam event eight times. His lifetime record at Roland Garros is 59-1. He has now won the French Open 4 straight times, twice!!!
I begin to run out of superlatives. Winning the most grueling major 8 times in 9 years? Seriously? Imagine Tiger Woods winning at The Masters eight times in nine years, that is what Rafa has accomplished in tennis. Lets add to this that Nadal is coming off a 7 month layoff due to injury. Since his return his record is 43-2 with 7 titles and 2 runner ups. Oh, and he's now won 22 straight matches. How to stop him? Try kryptonite.
Nadal's major count is now at 12, he passes Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver, trailing only Sampras at 14 and Federer at 17. For 30 years I've always felt that Borg was the greatest clay court player of all time, until this physical freak from Mayorca came along. Nadal not only owns the most French titles, but in the 3 other big clay court events, he has won Monte Carlo 8 times, Barcelona 8 times and Italy 7 times. The guy should play with a cape on!!!

But we also know that some things in the game have absolutely no effect on your fighting skills whatsoever, and yet these are some of the items in highest demand. Non-combat pets, unique mounts, cute outfits, and so on.
So now imagine that you get hired for Blizzard just to design more of these non-combat items. What kinds of items would you create? What would you make players do in order to get them? What do you think they would add to the game that isn't already there?

Border TilesSome ceiling tiles have a cross-section such that partial/border/edge tiles don't sit well along the cut edge and we've found that many customers prefer using a different tile around the perimeter of their ceiling in these cases.
Icon Relief White 2x2 Ceiling Tile (Box of 12) is one such product and we've shown below the border tiles that match both the size and color of this tile. Please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about border tile installations.
European inspired design offers a unique aesthetic appeal. Sculpted pattern controls light reflectance. An attractive solution for professional and private office, medical treatment room, conference room, music room, retail, hotels/resorts and offices. Our Pro-Series ceiling tiles can be washed over and over with zero damage making them ideal for commercial applications where a sanitary environment is a must. Available to residential users, our Pro-Series ceiling tiles are an investment that will last a life time.
Installation Requirements
Pro-Series panels quickly and easily fit into almost any ceiling grid system. Our lay-in ceiling panels are available in the same sizes as 2'x2' fiber-based ceiling tiles.. If you are using the standard grid size for 2' x 2', the Pro-Series will easily install into the existing system. There are some grids that use a "stab and connect" system that may cause the corners of the tile to sit higher than the rest of the tile.
To cut Pro-Series panels, mark and score the face of the tile with utility knife and snap tile at cut. A skill saw or table saw can also be used in cutting multiple tiles at once and a RotoZip or hole-saw for odd sizes shapes and circular holes – like sprinkler heads or can lights. You may also use a metal angle ruler to score and then snap the tile.
To clean Pro-Series panels, a mild soap and water solution works well and most household cleaners. Just spray the cleaner onto a clean rag and wipe. Powers washing Pro-Series panels is also an option, but avoid placing the spray nozzle tip too close to panel in order to prevent damage to tile face. The tiles are unaffected by most corrosive chemicals, but you should avoid using acidic cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleansers to scrub.

I'm looking through my drive now so you might see this post get edited several times in the next few minutes. Other non big name titles that I think are awesome:
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
Deadly Creatures
Metal Slug Anthology
ObsCure: The Aftermath
Tenchu: Shadow Assassins
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed
Those are probably all of my favorites that i don't hear mentioned all of the time like the big name Nintendo titles. If I can think of others I'll add them later. I kind of was scanning my drive pretty fast as it's almost bed time for me.

MBP early 2008 - Battery
I own a MBP early 2008 15". For a couple of days my battery appears swollen. But looking at the system profiles for battery cycles, it says, battery is normal after 86 cycles. My MBP is nearly 3yrs old. Most of the times I use it connecting to the AC power.
It is still under Apple Care. I wonder, would they replace the battery or I should buy one. In the second case, I seek you suggestion where to buy?
Many thanks in advance for all your insights...:)
They probably won't replace the battery free of charge, but, if it's swollen and they decide it's faulty, there is always a chance.
I would take it into an Apple store on the chance.
If it's swollen, and you have Applecare, I'd be willing to bet they'll replace it.
You'll never know until you take it in and let them have a look at it.
And if no Apple near you, maybe take a picture of it to send them.
I agree with bobtomay - my early 2008 MacBook Pro had its battery changed out by Apple twice due to some weirdness with it. And it wasn't anything as bad as it swelling.
Also note that if it's swollen, you really don't want to use it. Just pop it out for the time being until you've had a chance to call AppleCare (that's what I did and they swapped it out with no fuss).
Thank you guys,
Will try with Apple Care and post my experience.;D

Bryan, TX We've recently told you about 8-year-old Libby Stewart of Bryan who has type one diabetes. She can't tell when her blood sugar is low and needs a specially trained diabetes alert dog which costs $28,000.
The local Boy Scouts raised $2,000 selling American Flags as a special project and will be presenting their donation to Libby and her mom at a special meeting at 7 P.M. Monday.
That's happening at their building on 28th Street next to First United Methodist Church in Bryan.
Libby now needs about another $5,000 to meet her goal and hopes to have a dog by the end of summer.

Betting on Rugby Union
Bigger TV sponsorship deals and a growing international market combined has created massive global interest, and has invariably led to a huge desire to bet on rugby union. Competitions, domestic and international run pretty much all-year round, which keeps the markets busy, with more and more Rugby Union tipsters taking advantage of live in-play odds, tournament outrights etc. However, it seems that more often than not there are a lot of shorter priced favourites, so outright winners might not be where the real money is. It's probably worth checking out rugby union handicap betting, where your chances of winning more cash is greatly increased, because the Rugby Union odds are predominantly offered to level up the market (normally the 'smaller' teams don't win so often). Thus a selection deemed inferior to the opposition team has a greater chance of winning the said rugby match.
Rugby Union Betting Tips
If you're looking to bet and find the best Rugby Union odds it might be best to try your luck betting in one of the many international competitions, these include the Rugby Union World Cup, the Lions rugby union tour, the RBS Six Nations Rugby Championship and The Rugby Championship, which is held in Europe and the Southern Hemisphere respectively.
Six Nations Rugby Championship
This annual rugby union tournament features six of the best European teams, which includes Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy. The 6 Nations Rugby tournament and Six Nations fixtures take place between Feburary and March each year.
Rugby Union World Cup
The Rugby Union World Cup is contested every four years between 20 teams and is hosted by winning bid nations in the north and southern hemisphere.
The last Rugby Union World Cup 2011 was won by New Zealand rugby against France in the final. The next Rugby Union World Cup 2015 will be hosted by England with the final venue at Twickenham in London. The first rugby world cup was hosted in 1987 and the winning team every time since is awarded the coveted William Webb Ellis Cup.
The Rugby Championship
The Rugby Championship is a re-incarnation of the Tri-Nations rugby tournament with the 2012 Rugby Championship being the inaugural re-launch of the series, featuring the southern hemisphere's four best teams, New Zealand rugby, Australia rugby, South Africa rugby and Argentina rugby unions.
The 2013 Rugby Championship in August will be hotly contested by current holders and rugby World Cup champions New Zealand rugby union.
Lions Rugby Union Tour
The Lions rugby union (or alternatively known as the British & Irish Lions) is a team made up of the best players from the British and Irish regional rugby clubs. The tour takes place every 4 years against competing southern hemisphere teams such as Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. The 2013 Lions tour saw the side beat Australia 2-1 to clinch the series.
Rugby Union Betting - Domestic Leagues
In the UK, the top rugby union leagues are Aviva Premiership rugby and RaboDirect Pro12 rugby, both leagues respectively host teams from the UK, Ireland and Italy.
The biggest rugby union league, with the most financial clout and sponsorship backing from television companies such as Sky Sports is the French Top 14 rugby.

It's my 6th rezday (I feel so old) and over the years, there's been lots of changes. I've worked, I've quit, I've RPed, I've started blogging. I gotta say, the past few years have been my favourite so far, probably because in the process of keeping busy, I've made a bunch of good friends.
But enough about my boring existence, cause I want to show you Rustica's Skymoon. It's not old enough to be new, but it's recent enough for you to not know what it is. This skydome is amazing, and with 24 sky textures and 27 ground textures, there's.. well, there's a whole lot of different combinations you can come up with. You can do the math.
Besides the fact that it comes with options for every season, my favourite part is that it comes with a selection of grasses, and even rocks and mountains that have the texture change script inside. There's hundreds of different things you can do to create whatever environment you want, which makes this probably the best skydome I've seen yet.
