Photography: Lydia Garnett's beautiful urchins in pride of place on her new website
Hands up if you dragged the front cover of LAW magazine off a blog on to your desktop to the special folder marked "favourites?" Well now's your chance to see some behind-the-scenes shots of that famous shoot from last year because Lydia Garnett is the woman behind the camera. Her new site – designed by Toby Jury Morgan – is brimming with exciting new work, predominantly lookbook shots and editorial, some for big names such as Supremebeing and Adidas Originals. This hardly comes as a surprise – anything Lydia turns her lens on suddenly becomes cool, including smoking, head shaving, reading and purple eyebrows. This new site is a credit to how much Lydia's career is taking off, so watch this space.

Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been making headlines with multiple press releases and statements which cover several drugs commonly consumed by Parkinson's disease patients. It is critical that the Parkinson's disease patient, as well as his or her family, fully understand FDA lingo. Below is information drawn directly from the FDA's website and from FDA press releases spanning the past decade.
A FDA Drug Recall refers to the removal of an over-the-counter or prescription drug from the market. The recall is usually prompted by unexpected safety issues not identified during clinical trials. Once a drug is approved, unexpected adverse effects occurring outside of a clinical trial may be reported to the FDA through a program referred to as MedWatch. A recall may occur "on a firm's own initiative, by FDA request, or by FDA order under statutory authority."
The FDA specifically defines and classifies drug recalls on its website:
"Class I recall: a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Class II recall: a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
Class III recall: a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
Market withdrawal: occurs when a product has a minor violation that would not be subject to FDA legal action. The firm removes the product from the market or corrects the violation. For example, a product removed from the market due to tampering, without evidence of manufacturing or distribution problems, would be a market withdrawal.
Medical device safety alert: issued in situations where a medical device may present an unreasonable risk of substantial harm. In some case, these situations also are considered recalls."
A few drugs important to patients with Parkinson's disease have been recently recalled and are summarized below:
Cisapride (Propulsid) was a drug used to help gastrointestinal emptying issues, but was removed from the market for heart related safety issues.
Tolcapone (Tasmar) was a drug used to treat on-off fluctuations in Parkinson's disease patients, and to extend the longevity of each sinemet dose. It was recalled due to several cases of fatal liver toxicity. It was however, reintroduced onto the market after the FDA mandated a black box warning. The black box warning is named for the black border surrounding an inserted text warning. The warning communicates a potentially serious or life threatening event that could be possibly encountered by using the drug. Tolcapone now requires liver function tests, and is considered by most experts to be safe, as long as there is adequate drug monitoring.
Pergolide (Permax) was a drug designed to stimulate dopamine receptors (a dopamine agonist), and it was removed from the market because it was associated with damage to heart valves.
Rotigotine (Neupro patch) was a dopamine agonist patch that was reviewed by the FDA, and ultimately recalled. The FDA will allow it back in the U.S. market after reformulation to prevent a drug crystallization problem.
Recently the FDA announced it was reviewing the drug Stalevo (a combination of carbidopa/levodopa and entacapone) for a potential increase in cardiac risk. Stalevo was originally FDA approved in 2003, and 154,000 patients currently take the drug. Seven heart attacks and one heart related death occurred in a recent Stalevo trial (STRIDE-PD). The issues seemed to be exclusively isolated to the study group consuming Stalevo, and not to the study group ingesting plain carbidopa/levodopa tablets. It is important to point out that there have been over a dozen trials of Stalevo reported without this cardiac issue. When the available cardiac data was analyzed without the STRIDE-PD study data, the cardiovascular risk seemed to disappear.
Interestingly, the STRIDE-PD trial also was recently placed under FDA review for potential prostate cancer risk (3.7% in the Stalevo group versus 0.9% in the carbidopa/levodopa group). Again, like with cardiovascular risk, it was not completely clear (from the small amount of data available) that this issue was actually Stalevo related.
Patients should be aware that the data currently being reviewed by the FDA (on Stalevo) was not collected with the purpose to assess cardiovascular or prostate cancer risk. Stalevo remains on the market pending this FDA review.
In conclusion, it is important for Parkinson's disease patients and their family members to be vigilant in following up drug related press releases, especially those concerning drugs under review or FDA recall. Patients should ask their doctors to discuss the risk-benefit ratio of any drug under current FDA review, and also they should inquire about potential alternative management strategies. In cases where a drug may remain available overseas after removal from the U.S. market (e.g. rotigotine), a risk benefit ratio and a management strategy discussion should be sought. Drug recalls, withdrawals, reviews, and safety alerts are an important reality for Parkinson's disease patients and family members. It is critical for patients to be ready on short notice to contact their treating physician, and to be flexible about formulating a reasonable plan. Parkinson's disease patients must maintain balance in their Parkinson's drug management, and also balance in their daily lives.

Fadel Shaker arrested for shooting son in-law
The entertainment world was in shock to learn that prominent Lebanese singer Fadel Shaker was arrested last week after being accused of shooting at a young man's house, who had asked for Fadel's daughter's hand in marriage and was turned down. It was said that the young man had agreed with Fadel's daughter to elope despite Fadel's strong rejection to the matter.
What had angered Fadel was that the young man had sent him disturbing and threatening messages to his personal cellular phone. After the messages, Fadel went immediately to the young man's home and a big dispute took place leading the singer to take out his gun and begin shooting.
Close contacts to the singer refused to make any comments regarding the incident. It was said that the singer was released on bail after a number of VIPs intervened.

I feel its time to reexamine the roll of unions on the west coast. They like to say they bring good jobs to the region but everyone I know working for them got there job through family connections. Unions aren't good for the rest of us. Unions are out for themselves.
I understand your point about the media, but the vast response here from people is that this is nothing new. People of color have never been made to feel comfortable in lake-o. its not as though one bad report has everyone in town murmuring against lake-oswego. This is something everyone's known for decades. Oswego's mostly white and anyone that looks different simply makes's them nervous. That's just a fact. When you look different that way, people don't treat you the same. This report simply reminds us all of something so common, people don't give it much thought.
While i agree with the sentiment, she's preaching to the choir. This is the message I'd like to be hearing on the national stage.
The cops and city attorney can paint this in as poor a light as they like, but the fact that the DA refused to prosecute AND a jury returned an award so quickly, speaks volumes... There are a lot of cops on the beat that never have to stand before a judge on brutality charges, let alone lose. This is a cop that LIKES hurting people, making him a liability to the city as well as his fellow officers.
You know, even with parking, airport security and flight delays, flying from Vancouver across the river to Portland might prove to be less stressful... and faster. Count me in.
I'm glad to see this company take it in the shorts on this one. The trouble with some management firm's is their absolute fear of shelling out any more money than the think they can get away with. Sometimes resulting in short sighted policy's like this. Any competent lawyer would have told them they were just begging to get sued. There are few legal requirements to operate as a property management company which attracts a lot of "low rent operators" that don't want to do there homework on these things. $500 for legal advice sounds like a lot of money, but its a lot less than $65,000 plus legal fees.
The irony is they likely hit submerged shipping container.
Hopeful the contractors insurance can take some of the sting out of this
These things are so frustrating. You educate folks to get the word out but there are always those who think it not going to happen to them. Condolences to the family.
If you simply take it down to the money something will cost, there are a lot of things that don't pencil out. But as Portland and the region grow into the 21st century, things like light rail and trolley projects make sense. The expense of initial outlay will always be higher than many people want to stomach but once its in, its in. If you simply look to the tourism draw a trolley makes sense. Who wants to ride to Lake-O on a bus? No one. But forget about that. Light rail is not only the way of the future for the region, but for the country as well. As fuel prices spike to ever higher levels, car and bus travel will make less and less sense to municipal planners. The day that gasoline moves north of $7, projects like this will look visionary. And that is where fuel prices are headed. Even the most level headed economist will tell you that the developing world economy's will soon outstrip demand. Electric power is created here, close to home and not subject to the whims of foreign powers. And of course a trolley system infinitely cleaner, even if you take into account that not all electricity generated in Oregon comes from hydro projects. I like light rail because its clean, modern and yes vaguely European. I like it because bus travel sucks. But none of that will sway anyone here. The truth is that as we travel together into the future, we will be revisiting the past. There will be too many people and not enough fuel, road space or even parking for everyone to live the way their parents did. Sure, I like having my own car. Who doesn't. But thats today with affordable fuel and room enough to maneuver on the roads. But as we grow as a region, getting from Lake-O to Portland is going to become a nightmare.
I've been waiting for this since they did it in Scotland ten years ago... Go Sam Go
Last Thursday is an unparalleled success, bringing visitors from every sector of Portland and beyond. Activists began opening the streets to pedestrians last year because they had to... there was literally not enough room on the sidewalks anymore to contain the multitudes coming here for a bit of culture and a good time... Has it become a little crowded lately? Yes. Is it out of control? Surprisingly no. But with crowds of this size we do need a security presence. I would resist charging sidewalk artists because they are such a large part of the draw. The fact that you can find fine art and found art sharing the same piece of curb is part of what makes the experience so compelling. You start charging for space and a lot of the fringe artists will be driven off, and replaced with safer, conventional fare. I would think that the brick and mortar shops would be the ones to ask for some financial assistance. Not that every shop on Alberta is making money hand over fist... but they are the ones who see a real month over month benefit from the fresh influx of people, who liked what they saw, and brought back there friends over the following weeks and months to do some shopping or try out a new restaurant. Last Thursday is better advertising for every shop on the street than anything they could ever hope to attract with a media purchase. Perhaps the answer lies in the city continuing to pay some of the overhead, acknowledging that they do indeed see much more revenue from the area than they did 5 and 10 years ago, with the shop owners ponying up something as well...
Then again, if the crowds continue and we find that the resource's to pay for there safety are lacking, perhaps its time to think about a summer festival in Alberta park as a fundraiser... Two days of food,spirits, art and live performances from some of Portland's best. How much do we need ? $80,000... $100,000 ? we could put a dent in those figures with a well organized festival. Is anyone looking into this yet ? Calling Magnus...

Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team in PDF Format
WORCESTER, Mass. - Holy Cross senior Brent Franklin (Grosse Point Farms, Mich.) has received the Atlantic Hockey Top Scholar Athlete Award, while the Crusaders placed 17 players on the 2007-2008 Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team, which were tied for the second most in the league. Franklin earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average this academic year to earn the honor along with Mike Field of AIC who also had a 4.0. Franklin also earned a spot on the Academic All-Star Team as a defenseman. He was the 2007-2008 Fenwick Scholar, which is the highest academic honor bestowed on a student at Holy Cross.
Franklin was joined on the team by senior Matt Burke (Milton, Mass.), freshman Matt Celin (Gibsonia, Pa.), sophomore Ian Dams (Manotick, Ontario), freshman Jamie Jelinek (Great Falls, Va.), junior Charlie Lockwood (Breckenridge, Colo.), sophomore Peter Lorinser (Marquette, Mich.), freshman J.P. Martignetti (Winchester, Mass.), junior Shane McAdam (Hamilton, Ontario), senior Bryce Nantes (Calgary, Alberta), senior Frank O'Grady (Kimberley, British Columbia), senior Dale Reinhardt (Livingston, N.J.), freshman Adam Roy (Feeding Hills, Mass.), freshman Everett Sheen (Lethbridge, Alberta), junior Dewey Thomson (Northbridge, Mass.), senior Matt Werry (Regina, Saskatchewan) and freshman Mark Znutas (Emerson, N.J.). O'Grady made the team for the fifth time.
To qualify for the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team an individual must post a 3.0 grade point average or higher in all of the academic periods during which his team was actively competing. 129 student-athletes were named to the team this season marking a new record.

Barack Obama, Election 2012, Email Scandals, Federal Judges, Judge of the Day, Politics, Racism, Rudeness
We mentioned this last night in Non-Sequiturs, but it merits more coverage. Judge Richard F. Cebull, current chief judge for the District of Montana, admitted to forwarding a racially charged joke about President Barack Obama from his courthouse email account. Chief Judge Cebull, a graduate of the University of Montana Law School and a former federal magistrate judge, was appointed to the district court by President George W. Bush in 2001. One of the readers who brought this story to our attention described Cebull as "a good judge."
A good judge who tells bad jokes. Let's get to what you all want to know: What was the joke? And was it offensive, or funny, or both?
Here's what the judge emailed from his chambers email account on February 20 at 3:42 p.m., to seven recipients (including his personal email address):
"Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.
"A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?'" the email joke reads. "His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"
WOOF. Offensive? Highly. Funny? Definitely not.
(Those are just my opinions; you are free to disagree, of course.)
When contacted by the Great Falls Tribune, which broke the story after a chain of forwards brought the email to its attention, Chief Judge Cebull explained himself as follows: "It was not intended by me in any way to become public. I apologize to anybody who is offended by it, and I can obviously understand why people would be offended."
In an excess of caution, I've characterized the email as "racially charged" (using the language of the Tribune). Some — e.g., the Huffington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and my colleague Elie Mystal — would call the email straight-up "racist." And, I have to say, the case for calling it racist is fairly strong. It's more clearly racist than this controversial email, sent out by a Harvard law student a few years ago. Even Judge Cebull himself seems to admit that the email's content is racist (emphasis added): "The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan. I didn't send it as racist, although that's what it is. I sent it out because it's anti-Obama."
But Judge Cebull denied that he is a racist himself:
"This is a private thing that was, to say the least, very poor judgment on my part," Cebull said. "I did not forward it because of the racist nature of it. Although it is racist, I'm not that way, never have been." ….
"I have never considered myself that way," Cebull said. "All I can emphasize is I've treated people in my courtroom all these years fairly. I don't think I've ever demonstrated racism. Nobody has ever even implied it."
Well, a whole lot of people are saying that now. Racist is as racist does — or emails?
Right now — it will probably be deleted momentarily — there's this comment on Judge Cebull's Wikipedia entry:
Cebull acknowledged that the content of the email was racist, adding that he did not consider himself racist because he hardly ever goes to Klan meetings anymore.
Now that was funny.
UPDATE (3/2/12): Here's more information about Judge Cebull's response to the situation.
P.S. What is up with Montana? The Treasure State has been a treasure trove of crazy stories over the years, involving law clerks getting slapped on the butt, unorthodox interior decor for law offices, and bizarre love triangles among attorneys.

This paper investigates the pricing of step-up bonds, ie, corporate bonds with provisions stating that the coupon payments increase as the credit rating level of the issuer declines. To assess the risk-neutral rating transition probabilities necessary to price these bonds, we introduce a new calibration method within the reduced-form rating-based model of Jarrow, Lando and Turnbull (1997).

On July 3, Tobias Harris and his four brothers were shopping in a grocery store in the Hamptons when their father called Tobias on his cell phone.
Harris listened, absorbing the good news his dad was telling him, and then he jumped gleefully onto one his brothers.
"What are you doing?" his brother asked.
"We did it!" Harris answered. "We did it!"
The Magic had agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal.

The Orlando Magic's struggles on defense last season were obvious to anyone who watched the Magic play, but the deficiencies were even more glaring to the people who played against the Magic.

Six months ago, Gov. Bill Haslam drew universal praise when he declared he wanted to make Tennessee the fastest-improving state in the nation in teacher pay by the time he left office.
His longstanding goal of increasing the number of college graduates in Tennessee to 55 percent of the population by 2025 has received similar acclaim.
But the governor's big education initiatives are being challenged by something that was always the caveat on getting them done: tax revenue — more accurately, not enough of it.

Injury Roll Call: Billingsley probably back on April 10 + Elbert gets PRP, return unknown
Chad Billingsley turned in an impressive minor-league outing on Friday in which he was able to throw his curve sans any finger or elbow issues.

The Dodgers don't technically need a fifth starter until Apr. 13, their 11th game of the ... Read More »

The Dodgers beat the rival Giants on Opening Day at home to begin 2013, but it wasn't so much the win that was surprising as how they did it.

Dodgers 2013 Opening Day roster appears set after team cuts 8
The Dodgers announced the cuts of eight players yesterday, moves that essentially set the Opening Day roster for the team. The club reassigned right-handers Kevin Gregg and Peter Moylan, utility man Alfredo Amezaga and catcher Matt Wallach to Minor League camp. In addition, the Dodgers optioned outfielder Alex Castellanos, right-hander Stephen Fife, utility man Elian Herrera and right-hander Josh Wall ... Read More »
A Dodgers Opening Day roster prediction with Gregg and Castellanos, but without Capuano
Opening Day for the Dodgers is Monday, and since Spring Training feels like it has taken forever, it's about damn time.

Every team has to deal with decisions on the 24th ... Read More »
Injury Roll Call: Billingsley on track, Crawford confident, Uribe still fat, Greinke bad but good
Chad Billingsley reported no pain in his injured finger following a minor-league start on Saturday. "In the past few days there haven't been any issues with any tenderness. The only issue is with my curve ball because I spike it with my fingertip, which pushes the nail back into the finger," Billingsley said. "I didn't throw anything yesterday, and didn't ...

Zack Greinke, who was out with elbow discomfort and forearm stiffness, received an injection after being examined by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.

The pitcher has been prescribed rest for two to three days and then a return to a progressive throwing program. ElAttrache's diagnosis confirmed an MRI taken ... Read More »

Zack Greinke missed a bullpen session on Sunday due to forearm tightness. Greinke had "a little forearm tightness and thought it best to give it a day to let it rest," pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "It's nothing to be alarmed about.

The other day I stumbled upon a Reuter's story about recent demographic trends in Germany. In short, the news is pretty grim:
The number of births in Germany fell to a post-war low last year despite government incentives meant to reverse a population decline in the European Union's biggest economy, and analysts blamed a lack of sufficient child care support…
The preliminary data released by Germany's Federal Statistics Office showed 663,000 children were born in 2011, down from 678,000 in 2010.
"As in every year since 1972, the number of people who died was greater than the number of children born. In 2011 the difference amounted to 190,000 people and in 2010 to 181,000," the office said in a report.
I try to follow demographic news pretty closely because I generally find the topic to be both an interesting and under-studied one. However even I didn't know that Germany's numbers were quite that grim: 40 straight years of natural population loss is a pretty shocking number. Since Russia's demographic indicators have recently been on a serious upswing, I thought I would quickly throw together a graph showing what has happened in Russia and Germany over the past 20 years. Taking German numbers from here and Russian numbers from my usual source here I came up with the following:
This graph is interesting for a few reasons that I'll detail below. First of all, I think it shows quite clearly that the 1990′s in Russia were, from a demographic perspective, basically an unmitigated disaster. No matter how hard people like Boris Nemtsov or Leon Aron try to sugar coat the numbers or tendentiously explain them away, Russia's demographic deterioration in the early and mid 1990′s is almost without historical precedent (indeed is a human tragedy of mind-blowing proportions). Russia will continue to bear the scars of its botched transition from communism for many years, and everyone ought to understand what ab absolute catastrophe it was for the Russian people.
Second of all, it's totally impossible to square the rapid improvement in Russian demographics since 2000 with the narrative of an increasingly hopeless and forlorn country crushed under Putin's jackboot: if Russians are so despondent and depressed why are they drinking less, living longer, and having more children? That doesn't mean that Russians are entirely in favor of Putin (nor does it justify Putin's many sins and transgressions) it just says that, objectively speaking, Russians are doing a lot better than they were during the 1990′s. This is something we ought to keep in mind the next time The Economist or The New York Times hop over to Pora Valit or to some random LiveJournal page and argue that everyone in Russia hates everything and is bolting for the exit.
Third, I think it shows pretty conclusively that, when it comes to demographics, the mainstream media is years behind the curve. Since 2009 Russia's demographic situation has been objectively better than Germany's and all indications are that this will continued for the next several years (because, at the moment, Russia's trends are all positive and Germany's are all negative). Have you ever read an article in Foreign Affairs talking about the "Dying Eagle?" Or seen a Guardian story about the "dramatic decline" in Germany's population? Of course not. Germany is part of the Western club, so even when its demographic problems are addressed (as they are here by Nicholas Ebstadt and Hans Groth) they are described in in boring, emotionless language of the sort you'd expect to read from a management consulting presentation: "downward pressures on household savings rates," "demographic stress test," and "adjustments to health and pension schemes." What you will never see are angry, moralistic denunciations of the ham-handed German leadership and its rapacious and selfish ways (i.e. exactly what you see whenever Russian demographics are addressed).
Fourth, I think the graph above shows that, given good economic policy and competent political leadership, a country can cope with a rather extended period of demographic decline without any noticeable problems. Germany will of course, at some point, have to increase its birth rate if it wants to retain any kind of relevance in the world economy: at a certain point it doesn't matter how "efficient" you are if there aren't any workers. But Germany has been in extended natural population decline since the early 1970′s and its economic role in Europe has, if anything, only increased since then. Is this the ideal way to go about things? No, of course not. But it does show that Russia is not ipso-facto doomed to irrelevance and perpetual decline if it suffers a modest annual natural loss in population, which is something the "dying bear" crowd should keep this in mind. Or put another way: Germany has been naturally shrinking for 40 years and it is neither a hell-hole nor an irrelevant spectator.
Now just because Russia is faring better demographically than Germany doesn't mean "everything in Russia is awesome:" the country, as I have tried to remind everyone, faces a number of very serious long-term problems. However, Russia has also made a great deal of under-appreciated progress in addressing these problems to that point that its natural population change is noticeably better than the largest member of the European Union. That Russia is now more demographically stable than Germany is something we should remember the next time there is an alarmist article predicting the immanent collapse of the Russian Federation or its eventual takeover by the Chinese, the Chechens, or whomever else is supposed to be ascendant these days.

Sony Xperia Z2 preview. 4K Video recording features to impress
Sony might have only just launched its Xperia Z1 Compact, but already rumours are rife for the next Xperia smartphone.
Also termed the Sony Sirius, the Xperia Z2 promises to be the best Sony smartphone yet, with an enhanced set of features and specs. The Xperia Z2 might not offer the most revolutionised redesign, but when it's being based on Sony's existing range of smartphones, how much better can it get?
Sony Xperia Z2 features
The Xperia Z and Z1 both proved pretty impressive devices when it came to features, and it looks like Sony is planning to extend this further with the Xperia Z2.
You might like: Sony Xperia Z2 vs Sony Xperia Z1 – Design, Timescape & Features
25MP Camera?
Although some Sirius rumours are hinting that we'll see a huge 25 megapixel camera on the back of the Z2, it's more likely that Sony will stick with the winning formula of its 20.7MP rear-facing camera. However, that is set to improve with a new Xenon flash, similar to that of the Nokia Lumia 1020. Rather than simply packing in more megapixels, Sony is instead concentrating on creating brighter, more natural-looking shots.
But will its mighty camera be a match for the upcoming HTC One+? Take a look as both rumoured devices battle it out!
A new user interface?
Leaked images revealed by the famous leakster evleaks suggests that we will also be getting an entirely new user interface on the Sony Xperia Z2.
Instead of the usual Sony Timescape UI we're used to, Sony is planning to release a slightly updated version with which to lace Android KitKat. Although the images don't look like we'll be seeing any ground-breaking changes, there are a number of new features set to make the Z2 stand out.
Some subtle differences include a new range of homescreen launchers, as well as an accessories menu, which we think might be designed for Sony's growing range of wearable devices. Another feature destined for the Xperia Z2 also includes a double-tap feature which will wake up the device to save battery, similarly to the LG G2.
4K recording
More leaked images circulating on the web show the Z2 will have enhanced camera features, including 4K recording.
A huge theme at this year's CES was 4K recording, and it looks like the Sony Xperia Z2 will might be destined to be one of the first smartphones with 4K video recording capabilities.
LG is allegedly working on a similar feature for its Pro 2 smartphone, and we're sure Samsung will jump on the bandwagon sooner or later, so it looks like a battle over 4K might ensue in 2014.
Some 'Sirius' specs
Although official Xperia Z2 specs are yet to be announced, evleaks has revealed that the device will sport a slightly larger screen than its predecessor, stretching from 5-inches to a 5.2-inch display. But the startling revelation about this isn't the screen size, but rather the screen's resolution. The latest rumours suggest we'll see a whopping 2560 x 1440 screen resolution with a 506 pixel per inch ratio, dwarfing the Z1's 441 ppi entirely.
Under the hood, the Sony Sirius is also rumoured to feature a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and a mega 3GB of RAM, to mimic the powerhouse that is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Xperia Z2 release date and price
So when will we finally get a glimpse of this mysterious device? So far the Sony Xperia Z2 release date is set for this year's MWC, but with the Z1 Compact only having been revealed at CES last month, it's difficult to ascertain whether Sony will be ready to launch its next flagship to the world just yet.
As with most smartphones when they're at this ambiguous rumour-stage, the exact price of the Xpeira Z2 is unknown. However, we can take a guess at the £550 mark, based on the Z2's closest rivals in the market right now.
A monthly contract price is also hard to ascertain, but if the Sony Xperia Z1's contract price is anything to go by, it'll be a steal. Visit our Xperia Z2 features and deals page for more info on this exciting smartphone release.

Green-Roofed Jeju Natural Heritage Center is Carved from South Korea's Volcanic Landscape

From above the center is almost indistinguishable from the landscape, as the stepped green roof [5] tops a pair of undulating wings. Views of the landscape dominate from this vantage point, which allows visitors to access the other side of the building. Two large outdoor pavilions at the entrances serve as natural gathering places.
The architects describe the project's design principle: "circulation strategy is central to the place-making, which forms a knot creating crossings and loops in [6], out, and around the roofscape, sunken terraces and the interior spaces." Visitors enter the building from the terraces as one would enter a cave.
The two wings join together in the daylit core and provide easy transitions between galleries, interpretive displays [7], and other offerings in the center. The sense of exploration is a core design component, and the sunken and undulating rhythm of the building provides a visceral gesture of the land it interprets. Pathways extend seamlessly out from the building, winding through the scenery and looping back again.

What happens to products you don't use?
I've been cleaning out today in anticipation of our big move in a month. We're leaving family housing at RPI to become regular, rent-paying citizens in the city of Albany. One drawback is our current bathroom has tons of storage space, and the new place — still nice, but not as much. So, we need […] [Read More]
Slipcovers, quilts on sale at Christmas Tree Shops
Image via Wikipedia Christmas Tree Shops is advertising sofa slipcovers for $39.99. I wish we'd thought of that when our couch was new five years ago. It might have made the unfortunate Dr. Pepper incident less traumatic. Now, there isn't much of point to it. They are also having their quilt sale again, with twin […] [Read More]
Is Ikea worth it?
I was at a friend's new apartment last night, and let me tell you – the livingroom looked like it was coordinated by a professional designer on one of those HGTV shows! It had splashes of black & red, but done so tastefully it was not overwhelming and the whole area just came together so […] [Read More]
I wish I lived in Georgia
Well — not really. But I wish I could pay the same price to live here. As I've mentioned before in this blog, it's become a hobby of mine to drive around looking at apartments and homes for sale. When not physically looking, I still can't resist a free pamphlet or apartment guide, even if […] [Read More]
Why rent when you can buy?
It's a question I've asked before, having never had my own place. My husband works for Residence Life at a college, and we've always been required to live on campus. It's not a bad deal really, and we've been able to live in some really interesting places. At the University of Georgia, for example, we […] [Read More]
SanDisk flash drives for $12 at Walmart
I always find back-to-school sales in July depressing. This one, I guess, isn't as bad because it's directed toward college students who do start earlier, but come on! July 4th was last Saturday!

Where to find furniture for an apartment
It's been 18 months since I moved into my apartment and it's still not completely furnished.

Mt. Vernon's Shakari Hawkins gives verbal commitment to Rend Lake.
Rend Lake Gets Verbal Commitment From Shakari HawkinsThe Rend Lake College Warriors added a third member to the 2014-2015 roster last week when Shakari Hawkins of Mt. Vernon made a verbal commitment.
Hawkins is a senior at Mt. Vernon Township High School, where he is a shooting guard. The 6-foot-2 inch shooting guard is known for rebounding on both ends of the court and putting up points in tight situations. He is the son of Shakira Lenora Williams.
Hawkins joins an already growing team with Perry Fairrow and Kourtlandt Martin, both of Evansville, Ind., who were welcomed to the team earlier last week.
Fairrow is currently a senior at Benjamin Bosse High School, where he plays as a shooting guard. The 6-foot-1 inch guard is 8-4 this season with an average of 25.5 points per game. He is currently ranked 57 in high school athletes in Indiana. Fairrow is the son of Stacey M. Gold and Perry Fairrow Sr.
Martin is also a 6-foot-1 inch senior, from Evansville Central High School. He will join the Warriors as a point guard next fall. Currently, Martin's record is 8-5 with 18.3 points scored per game. He is the son of Ka'Meelah Martin and is ranked 86 in Indiana.

Brailey Lisath, of Chillicothe, poses for a photo inside Smith Library on the campus of High Point University in North Carolina, where she is a sophomore. A 2012 graduate of Unioto High School, Lisath recently published her first novel.
- Filed Under
Brailey Lisath already had a novel under her belt by the time she stepped foot on her college campus in fall 2012.
Lisath was still in high school at Unioto when, during her winter break, she began writing what became "Compelled" - an e-book about a teen, Mason Patridge, who has a genetic mutation that allows him to control the minds of others.
"The idea came from a simple conversation with a friend. I took a simple concept and just made it literal but really wanted to make it seem raw," Lisath said in an email from the Czech Republic, where she's studying abroad. "That's why I used Chillicothe as my ...

"CPAP is the gold standard in sleep apnea treatment, and people should be encouraged to try it," Walsleben said. "If one mask isn't comfortable, there are others you can try." She said the machines have more options these days, and options such as a heated humidifier can make the device more comfortable to use. "It can take trial and error, but don't give up," she advised. "Talk to your physician."
Park agreed, saying that five to 10 common problems with CPAP can usually be solved with just a little effort. "Some people love CPAP," he said, but noted that some others just never get used to it.
Other treatment options include dental devices that push the lower jaw and tongue forward, and surgery if there are obvious airway issues, such as a nasal blockage from a deviated septum. In children with sleep apnea, Park said, removal of the tonsils often helps.
The bottom line, according to both experts, is that sleep apnea is underdiagnosed and undertreated.
"Sleep apnea is more common than you suspect," said Walsleben. "Snoring isn't something to just laugh about. You need to pay attention if your spouse tells you you're snoring."
And if anyone has doubts, remember that the disorder can have far-reaching effects, Park noted.
"A lack of quality sleep affects every part of your body and mind," he said. "People often get treated for other conditions caused by a lack of sleep from apnea, like depression or high blood pressure, but you have to treat the root of the problem."

The National Sleep Foundation has more about sleep apnea.

Walter Brasch: Bullied, harassed, and lied to, District 1 of the Amalgamated Association of Easter Bunnies, AFB-CIO (American Federation of Bunnies–Cottontails International Organization) went on strike, forcing a halt to this year's Easter egg hunts in Wisconsin.
Paging Dr. King
Tom Degan: That's what I love about this guy! American history is littered with "Christian" religious leaders. Try as you might, you can't escape them. The thing that sets Reverend King apart from most of these guys is the fact that he wasn't a hypocrite. He never tried to twist the words of Jesus of Nazareth into anything other than what they were – a call to love one another and for kindness and gentleness. The Trappist monk Thomas Merton is another celebrated American Christian who took the gospel seriously. So was Dorothy Day. Please give me a day or two and I might be able to name more, but at the moment none come to mind. Both Merton and King died in 1968, Day in 1980. They're gone and they're not coming back.

Fancy taking your pet pooch to dinner? Wild Bunch might be just the spot for you. Simon Thomsen reports.
Australians spend more than $6 billion a year on their pets, from $60 seaweed wraps to painted dog toenails.
If that sounds like you, then I've got just the place for a doggy dinner date: Wild Bunch Food & Wine.
Slap bang in the middle of the A3 menu are three "for our doggy diners" dishes. Well, there's something you don't see every day.
There's nothing for kids, cats or ferrets, just dogs: from $8 for rice and mince to two free-range eggs with tuna and sardines, $11. Leader of the pack is the "pampered pooch": 100g of wagyu mince and 100g of diced scotch fillet with a raw egg. A $22 dog meal makes Woollahra look mingy by comparison. Shaggy diners have an outside space beneath the kitchen, with bench seats for lead holders. The wagyu sells well, I'm told. Is everyone in Seaforth barking mad?
Wild Bunch is the brainchild of Chris Cranswick-Smith, an enthusiastic young chef who opened Emmilou Tapas Bar in Surry Hills four years earlier. He's teamed up with four Northern Beaches mates to take tapas into sleepy, white, middle-class territory with a wine bar, cafe and bistro, which opened before Christmas.
For two-legged eaters, the day starts with eggs several ways, including a burrito, $14, meaty fry-ups, a tin of sardines, $11, mezze for two of hummus and pita, $17. Lunch adds burgers, plus a menu that runs through to dinner, with breads and dips, shared plates and a handful of mains.
After pleasant hummus with harissa and grilled pita, $8, chicken wings with blue cheese and chilli, $12, strikes me as one of the four signs of the apocalypse and tastes like it too. Ordering a bunch of shared plates, sections of prosciutto-wrapped whiting amid rocket and salsa verde, $17, is enjoyable, but the standout is a cast iron bowl of four large grilled king prawns, $28, with broccolini, cider, dill and black garlic.
Alas polenta chips accompanying sauteed mushrooms, spinach and fennel seeds, $22, have a slightly crumpled look that would normally lead to dramatic music and frowns on a MasterChef contestant.
The wedge-shaped room is a glass bowl to the outside world and uses its spaces to good effect. Our waitress, Aimee, is pretty good, but the two blokes on the floor seem to be making up the numbers. A soup spoon for dessert says something about the attention to detail.
There are plenty of by-the-glass wines on a modest list that divides between the Antipodes and Spain and Portugal, with a little South American and French. It's good to see Chris backing the family with his dad's wine, the Cranswick Barossa shiraz $9/$44, on the list.
Among the mains, bread sauce with corn-fed chicken breast, broccolini and broad beans, $24, is a nice touch, and the 240g scotch fillet with mushies, asparagus, almonds and Cafe de Paris butter, $33, is pretty solid, but the crisp-skinned chock of slow-roasted pork belly sitting on an apple and red cabbage coleslaw looks like a train wreck and the flavours evoke one too.
Dessert is similarly disappointing with a solidly set orange-flavoured panna cotta, $14, that is, thankfully, offset by a quirky combination of chocolate parfait with tequila jelly and grilled figs, $15, that works a treat. It's a shame dogs shouldn't eat chocolate.

I am not a prince
And princess you don't have to be.
We need not to live happily ever after.
A touch of anger is allowed to smolder,
Sorts of quarrel will do.
At the end sure come to me,
Take me away
Leave only to love me again,
To fill the pages of our own fairytale.
A new beginning in our own way.

I literally stumbled on this place while I was walking around the area and went in for breakfast. I ordered the mushroom and swiss crepe and my friend had the spinach and feta crepe. They were both delicious! Being so small it would be hard to plan to go back there with friends, but if I am in the area, I will definitely go back for a quick bite to eat. It was great!
Posted by Allison on 03/06/2005
Creperie is by far the best crepe shop in the city. The nutella and banana crepe is amazing and also the spinach and feta cheese crepe is delicious. The service is great and it has a friendly atmosphere. I would definately recommend it to any New Yorker!
Posted by Dave on 12/21/2004
The Nutella crepe is delicious...however, I ordered it to go and they put it into a tupperware thing that made it steam inside and by the time I got it home the crepe was soaking wet and nasty...suggestion, put it into an unwaxed brown paper bag, it's also better then filling up landfills with plastic boxes shaped like crepes.
Posted by ichbinjenny on 10/28/2004
There's just nowhere to sit. A few stools and a teeny couch is all there is. Best to order it and bring it home or eat on the street. My roommie and I share--one strawberry'n'nutella, one chicken'n'swiss. They're all great.
Posted by be jammin on 08/01/2004
The sweet crepes are good. Especially the apple and caramel with vanilla ice cream. However... once i got the chicken and swiss cheese crepe and it was totally disgusting. Never get any of the savory crepes.

1. BrightS.exe - High-Power Integrated Sports Betting Software
Version 2.0, August 2013; software category: 5.4.
This is the most powerful roulette software application anywhere. It bundles in a convenient system the most important pieces of sport bet software created by Ion Saliu.
First, you need to become a registered member. Then, you need to download BrightS.exe from the main software downloads site. All newcomers must go there first to read all necessary information. BrightS.exe belongs to software category 5.4 (Sports Betting Software).
You can read also a new webpage that presents useful information on the so-called Command Prompt introduced in Windows 2000 and subsequent versions of the operating system.
The main menus are as follows:
The downloading is easy (if you are a registered member), but the installation might be a little tricky. The INSTALL.BAT file was designed for Windows 95/98. The best method is to go to the command prompt (Win 2000 and later). Create a directory (folder); e.g. C:\BrightS. You can do that in Windows Explorer as well. Download BrightS.EXE to C:\BrightS. Click on BrightS.EXE to decompress the file automatically. Read the README.TXT file. For the best results, work at the command prompt in C:\BrightS. Type SP (or sp) to start the main menu.
Start by creating a sports-betting data file or the real-scores file. It is the easiest possible step. The files are in ASCII (text) format. You can use any text editor to create a file, including "MDIEditor and Lotto WE", or Notepad (comes free with Windows).
The sports betting data file consists of real results recorded at the end of games. That is, you must record the game results manually. Or, you might be able to find Web sites that offer real scores.
This software bundle comes with one data file with real NFL results as ATS: Against The Spread. Filename: NFL.ODS. You need a data file for each American game you take care of (e.g. NFL, NBA, NHL, etc.)
The NFL data file must have exactly 15 teams per line. The teams must be separated by commas.
If the week had 16 games, then discard the Monday Night Football game; do not record that game in the data file. If the week had 14 or fewer games, simply add the word open at the end of the line representing that week. Count the items carefully, so that the number of teams plus the word open should add up to 15.
When updating the data file, keep in mind this rule: the latest (the most recent) drawing always goes to the top of the file, becoming the line number 1. The oldest drawing is the bottom line in the file. If your data file is not in this order, you need to use the included program UpDown.EXE. It reverses the order in a text file: the bottom becomes the top of the file.
2. The Main Programs and Functions
M = American Team Combinations
P = Sports Combos: 1, 2 or 1, X, 2
W = Repeat-Winning NFL Teams
G = Generate Truly 1X2 Full Combinations (Variants)
S = Skip-Systems for Sport Betting
* I highly recommend that you do the following. Put together all the information I made available in one file. Copy and paste everything in one file. Then, edit that file, using your own words. That would be the best way to use my software, systems, and strategies.
