It's easily one of the most anticipated films of the summer, and the cast of "Guardians of the Galaxy" was thrilled to get promotions started for their upcoming superhero flick on Monday night (July 21).
Chris Pratt looked incredibly handsome while showing off him slimmed down figure on the red carpet of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, CA as he posed with his lovely wife Anna Faris.
Giving fans the first like at a scene in the film, Marvel released a clip from "Guardians of the Galaxy" on Friday (July 18).
Starring Chris Pratt, the clip takes a look at the character Peter Quill after realizing he's the target of a bounty hunt for stealing a mysterious orb. The object is sought after by the villain Ronan, who happens to threaten the entire universe.
He's gearing up for the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and during promotions, Chris Pratt scored a feature in the August 2014 issue of Redbook.
During his chat with the magazine, the "Parks and Recreation" star chatted about his braiding skills and who steals the funny spotlight in the home, his wife Anna Faris or himself.
It's almost time for some intergalactic madness, and Marvel just unveiled an extended teaser trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Making good on all the pre-release hype, the forthcoming flick has a star-studded cast of crazies like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and the voice of Bradley Cooper.
It's going to be a massive movie event of epic proportions and "Jurassic World" stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard chatted with "Today" anchor Jenna Bush Hager.
Giving us a deep look into the character development, Marvel UK released a new international trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Set for a later summer release, the James Gunn-directed film follows a group of outlaws on their journey to save the world.
It won't hit theaters for another year, but The A.V. Club gave fans a sneak peek at the upcoming film "Jurassic World."
The new flick's plot is still a mystery at this time, but we do know that it stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Judy Greer and Jake Johnson.
It's a day of celebration and remembrance in the USA and today (May 26) even celebrities are giving it up for our troops for the Memorial Day holiday.
The Twitterverse is chock full of encouraging messages from various famous folks, giving thanks for freedom as well as the men and women who have fought to keep us safe.

CEOh-Snap! iPhone Can Has Momentum Says Microsoft's Ballmer
Microsoft CEO and current CES Keynoter Steve Ballmer, prior to the original iPhone 2G's launch, had quite a bit to say:
"You can get a Motorola Q for $99. [...] [Apple] will have the most expensive phone, by far, in the marketplace." [...] "There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."
Flash forward 2 years, where Apple's $199 iPhone was the best selling smartphone -- and all around phone -- in the late-summer quarter, and the cost of unlocked Windows Mobile handsets like the Xperia X1a rocketed past the $800 price point, and what does everyone's favorite internet dance sensation have to say? According to the Financial Times (Registration annoyingly required, text via Ars Technica):
Ballmer conceded that Apple's iPhone (and RIM's BlackBerry) have "clear market momentum." Indeed, Windows Mobile has suffered in the face of strong competition from RIM and Apple.

CEOh-Snap! iPhone Can Has Momentum Says Microsoft's Ballmer
Bill had a little smugcerity which I also always enjoyed. I think his day-to-day presence will be missed by Microsoft, and Microsoft users.
Ballmer is a ass clown.... lack of wisdom!
All true. But you'll all change your opinions of Balmer after he wins the next season of Dancing with the Stars. He's going to break some hearts - I guarantee!
The phrase is "fast forward." Do a Google search on "flash forward" and look at the number of counts vs. "fast forward." Back in the dark ages before you were born, there were things called tape decks, and later, VCRs. There was a button called "fast forward," which made the tape go forward, but in a fast way. Then Generation-Pwn came and took every catchphrase and got it wrong. What does "flash forward" literally mean?
@Anon, Flash forward and fast forward are different in kind. Flash forward is the opposite of a flack back. The TV show LOST gives great examples of both flash backs (early seasons) and flash backs (later seasons).
Hope this helps!
You don't need to be an Apple fanboy to have seen (even then) that it was a pretty stupid statement with a high probability of being proven wrong.
I don't know the man but watching him on the web he strikes me as an annoying twit. He really makes me switch off.
Your quote is misleading. Here is the excerpt from the Ars Technica blog:
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance," said Ballmer. "It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."
The $500 iphone didn't gain much market share in the global cell phone market of 1.3 billion.
Ballmer was right.

With a net worth estimated to be at least $10 billion, Ka Yee (Carrie) Wong Perrodo and her family are set to be one of the wealthiest new entrants to the Forbes list of Global Billionaires this year. The family has previously been listed in the French media with a net worth of 2.8 billion euros.
A former model who in the 1970s founded a modeling agency that continues to this day, Carrie Perrodo (believed to be 65 years old) is more notably the widow of oil tycoon Hubert Perrodo, who founded and built the international oil company Perenco. Mrs. Perrodo remains stunning to this day, as shown in a picture of her here, presenting the Hubert Perrodo trophy for polo; here at a fashion party; and here at a luncheon. This Chinese-language site even features some vintage modeling photos of Carrie in the 1970s.
Perenco is almost as glamorous. The oil company operates in far-flung locales like Gabon, Nigeria and Egypt, has continued to grow since Hubert's death and now enjoys net production of at least 175,000 barrels of oil (and gas equivalents) per day. According to the company, which is believed to be 100% owned by the Perrodo family, its 2012 revenues were $5.9 billion (up from $3.5 billion in 2010). Its 2012 capital spending budget was $1.2 billion.
That year it bought ConocoPhillips' Vietnamese operations for $1.29 billion. And acquired North Sea fields from BP for $400 million. Last year it bought oil fields in Colombia from Petrobras for $380 million. And in Peru, Perenco is attempting to develop oil fields in a section of Amazonian rainforest still populated by indigenous people living in "voluntary isolation." Last year in Peru the company suffered a tragedy when a helicopter crash killed 12 contractors and one employee.
Perenco's founder Hubert Perrodo was a daring entrepreneur who hailed from the fishing towns of Brittany. During his youth he served in the French navy. In 1967 he spent a summer exploring the eastern coast of the United States. There his adventures one day had him working on a yacht owned by big Gulf Oil shareholder Jack Walton. A conversation with Walton convinced Perrodo he wanted to get into the oil business. In the years to come he worked at drilling company Forex, and marine operator Comex, traveling to the likes of Iraq, Gabon, Indonesia and Singapore. In 1975 he acquired some boats and launched his first business Cosnav, renting out barges to oil companies. In 1981 he founded offshore driller Techfor, which he sold in 1992 before forming Perenco. He moved to Gabon where he soon acquired an aging offshore oil field from Amoco. From there Perrodo perfected that model of buying Big Oil's hand-me-downs, building up his company until his death while hiking Courchevel in the Alps in 2006. He was 62. (See the family's tribute to him here.)
Although Hubert's estate has not yet been divided up among his heirs, it is clear that his wife and three children will inherit the fortune. Eldest son Francois Hubert Marie Perrodo (born Feb. 14, 1977) has assumed the role of chairman of Perenco. Francois is also a sometime race-car driver, who competed in last year's European Le Mans Series, driving this Porsche 911. The other children are Nathalie Perrodo (born 1980) and Bertrand Nicolas Hubert Perrodo (born 1984).
In an interview in the British press, Perenco executive John Sewell explained the Perenco strategy of buying unloved assets from bigger companies, then breathing new life into them. Sewell also made it clear who he works for. "We are owned by the Perrodo family, we are not answerable to shareholders, and financially we are in a good position so we can react quickly to opportunities that come along."
CEO Jean-Michel Jacoulot confirmed that in a 2011 interview with the Financial Times: "Being family owned gives us a long-term view. Our value creation comes from cash flow, not share price," Jacoulot said.
The Perrodo family is very private. Through a spokesman, they declined Forbes' request for an interview and also declined to participate in any factchecking for this story.
Much of what we know about their ownership stake in Perenco comes from documents stemming from a dispute between the company and PetroEcuador, the state oil company of Ecuador, which claimed Perenco owes some $300 million in back taxes.
Perenco in 2002 entered into a consortium to develop oil exploration blocks in the Ecuadorian jungle. The development proceeded and oil flowed, but in 2006 (once oil prices had started to rise) the Ecuadorian government enacted a law calling for oil companies to pay Ecuador up to 99% of the "extraordinary income" they were generating from fields there. Perenco complained about the tax; in 2009 Ecuador seized its oil field there, but got no buyers in an auction of 1.4 million barrels of Perenco's oil.
Perenco has fought this seizure by claiming that because the company is owned by French nationals, Ecuador cannot confiscate Perenco's oil revenues without breaching its obligations under a 1994 Bilateral Investment Treaty between the countries. PetroEcuador counters that Perenco Limited Ecuador isn't a French company, rather it is incorporated in the Bahamas.
The whole tete-a-tete is laid out in this 2011 report from a tribunal from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Regardless of the ultimate resolution of this dispute, what the documents reveal clearly is the assertion from the Perrodos that since Hubert's death, "the entire Perenco Group has been fully owned and controlled by Mr. Perrodo's heirs, consisting of his widow and three children. All are French nationals and his eldest son is now Chairman of Perenco Group."
So then, given that Hubert Perrodo's estate has not yet been distributed, how is anyone to know which Perrodo heir owns what? A declaration made by a Perrodo attorney states that "Ms. Wong, as the surviving spouse, inherited, at her discretion, either the totality of the estate in usufruct or full ownership of one fourth of the existing assets of the estate. The three children are also recorded as heirs to the estate." (I had to look up "usufruct." It means the legal right to use and enjoy the fruits or profits of something belonging to another.)
With that in mind, until the Hubert's estate is settled, we've decided to include the Perenco fortune on the Forbes list of Global Billionaires and list it under Carrie Wong Perrodo's name.
How to value an oil company like Perenco? The best way is to look for publicly traded companies with similarly diverse assets see what valuation the market gives them relative to their revenues and production volumes.

The Transition to Adulthood (T2A) Alliance and the University of Birmingham have today published a new guide for probation practitioners to help them take account of maturity when completing an assessment of needs and risks for young adult offenders aged 18-24.
Earlier this year, the practice guide was trialled with the two largest probation areas; London Probation Trust and Staffordshire and West Midlands Probation Trust. It was found that, by using the guide, probation staff could strengthen the quality and effectiveness of Pre-Sentence Reports (PSRs) and proposals to sentencers. As well as explaining what maturity means in a criminal justice context, the guide poses a series of questions that will help practitioners to make a sound judgement about a young adult's level of maturity.
Since 2011, adult sentencing guidelines published by the Sentencing Council for England and Wales have stated that consideration should be given to 'lack of maturity' as a potential mitigating factor in sentencing decisions for adults. Furthermore, in 2013 the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) issued a new Code of Conduct which for first time included maturity as a factor for consideration of culpability as part of its public interest test. These changes to policy and practice have significant implications for agencies working with young adult offenders throughout the criminal justice process, including the police, the CPS, the probation service, sentencers and practitioners delivering services.
In July, the Probation Chiefs Association (PCA) held a round-table on young adults in the criminal justice system at which the guide was welcomed by practitioners and policy-makers.
The maturity practice guide (funded by the Barrow Cadbury Trust as part of its T2A programme) is intended to be used in conjunction with the Offender Assessment System (OASys) tool.

Reversible USB Type-C connector finalized: Devices, cables, and adapters coming soon
- By Sebastian Anthony on August 12, 2014 at 12:25 pm

Share This article
The USB Promoter Group has announced that the greatest invention in the known universe — the reversible Type-C USB connector — is finally ready for mass production. The USB Implementers Forum will now take the Type-C spec and start building devices, cables, and adapters that support the new reversible connector. We could begin seeing Type-C USB devices over the next few months, but considering the lack of backwards compatibility (an adapter is required), and the fact that the existing Micro-USB connector is mandated as the standard mobile phone charging connector by several governments around the world, it may take a little while for Type-C to reach critical mass.
The reversible Type-C connector is roughly the same size as the existing Micro-USB connector at the bottom of your smartphone, but it's reversible. If that wasn't enough, there will also be new USB cables that have a Type-C connector at both ends, finally giving consumers the feeling that they are the ones in charge, not some pesky cable. Just take a moment to imagine it: In a few months, you'll be able to grab a USB cable and just plug it in without a care in the world. I'm not entirely sure why we had to wait 15+ years for such a breakthrough, but I'm glad we're finally there.
The Type-C connector, which has 18 pins, is essentially two USB 3.1 SuperSpeed connectors (which have the standard four pins, plus five more to enable 10Gbps connections). If you plug the connector in one way, the top set of pins are used; if you plug it in the other way, the bottom set of pins are used. It's pretty simple. The Type-C connector also supports the new USB Power Delivery spec (also finalized today), which allows for up to 100 watts to be carried over a USB cable (enough to charge a laptop or power most peripherals, including a monitor).
As you have probably worked out, you sadly can't plug a Type-C plug into older USB sockets — but it is possible to create a standard Type-A-to-Type-C cable (from your older PC to a new Type-C smartphone perhaps). The new USB Type-C spec also outlines the creation of adapters — for example, from Micro-USB to Type-C. As you can see in the various diagrams below, the new 18-pin Type-C still has the original four USB pins — they're just in a different position. The USB Promoter Group says the Type-C connector is rated to the same 10,000 cycles as Micro-USB, though I'm sure the more-complex design and smaller pins might cause some issues.
With the Type-C spec finalized, it now comes down to the USB-IF to actually implement the sockets, plugs, cables, adapters, and devices. The problem is that there are billions of existing USB devices and cables that will need adapters and new cables to work with new Type-C devices. It's a lot like when Apple released the Lightning connector, but on an even grander scale. Further exacerbating the issue is the fact that China, the EU, and the GSMA have all agreed that new mobile devices use Micro-USB for charging — though it might be as simple as including a Micro-USB-to-Type-C adapter with every new smartphone.
Considering just how happy reversible USB cables would make consumers, though, I imagine it'll be adopted pretty quickly. Hopefully we'll start to see some motherboards with the Type-C socket in the next few months, and then some cables and adapters soon after that. We'll probably see the first Type-C smartphones in 2015. Expect some of these Type-C connectors to support the new Power Delivery spec, too (especially in laptops and desktops). In the meantime, of course, be sure to read our guide on how USB charging works, and how to avoid blowing up your phone.

I think it's funny that one of the unintended (but easy to see from a mile away) consequences of the EU's idiotic mobile phone cable law is potentially on the horizon so quick.
actually it was not an idiotic lab if they did not make it than we would still have 12 different charging pins for low end phones. i think a small adaptor would do the trick to (it are just 2 pins). i'm certain that the EU could update it quickly so all new phones are type C and all chargers are C + an micro adaptor.
The law was passed by the EU, and it still has to go to the Council of Europe made up of various ministers. At that point, it's voted on, and then each country must incorporate that law into its national laws. There are about 2 years for all of this to happen. Do you honestly think that votes in two separate EU groups, then incorporations into national law are things that are fast?
If standards change, then official laws have to be updated in the EU charter and then on national levels.
I appreciate your optimism, but I don't think it's founded on anything that has ever really happened in the EU. :)
in computer terms there certainly should have been put a "pointer" or "reference" in the article directly to the standard so the law automaticly updates with the standard.
to bad that they didn't design it better so it would still fit on the usb micro for charging and the other way around and thus build around the law. but atleast almost all phones use usb to charge.
its just stopid that all governments hava so much overhead they should cut down the number of layers stages and thus significantly improve speed and flexibilety.
but its better to have lots of people in an institution than having like 5 persons in the FCC.
Bryan Shepard
The thing is that governments love to adapt new standards, but they do not want to outsource their own national law to a third party. The only way that any national government would include a "pointer" to the specification is if one of their own agencies were responsible for its creation and maintenance.
maybe a pointer to an other instance that can say if the new standard from the same standardisation body should be adopted or not. this should be done with no or little votes so a shortcut instead of a long road. but i understand that the design that doesn't allow backward compatibility was just a bad idea i wonder if they couldn't design it better so the micro type would fit but maybe only in 1 way.
in my opinion they should standardise the screw bits in the same way. Because this is going on for far to long.
Does that mean that iPhones sold in Europe have USB ports? I didn't know that…
i guess they are making a gamble selling X gadgets, chargers ,cables using lighting and sell extra stuff so costumers don't lose there gadgets. until they get a lawsuit against them if they have more profit than the fine than why not try? its like a delivery company that drives above the speed limit if there difference in earnings is bigger than the fines it is economical worth it.
but i still hope an huge antitrust because of lock-in and usb micro fine will come.
http://meelahi.wordpress.com/ Manzoor E Elahi
They don't have USB port, but they are sold with the necessary adapters for free.
So phones shipped with reversible USB 3.1 Type C connectors could just include adapters. Good to know.
In other news, Micro-USB cables have hit commodity pricing and likely purchasers have all the Micro-USB cables they could ever need…
no they will become the "paper" currency worth 100 bottle caps after a nuclear war.
Marc Guillot
Hurray, this deserves first page on mainstream newspaper :-)
i think that the governments will make type C standard if but it has to have an usb micro adaptor for the next 10 years. so all new phones have to have C while chargers have to have C and B.
this connection is actually smaller than the usb micro because it is usb 3.x.
while micro usb 3.0 looks like this.
Could someone explain to me why this is better than the existing standards?
usb 3.0 micro looks like this and is big
secondly it is just easier like DVI replaced by a display port. also the micro usb might not be able to deliver the 100W.
Are you saying that the new 3.0 micro standard will deliver less energy than the 2.0 it's replacing?
no i'm stating that the micro usb 3.0 is that big connector in the picture.
secondly micro usb might not be able deliver 100Watt.
hence the new standard type C.
So the new one is smaller, and subsequently more breakable? How's that better? USB Micro plugs already are WAY too easy to break. This is not a good move.
Neutrino .
Only if you're a ham fisted gorilla that shouldn't be playing with tech in the first place.
the usb mini was weak yes. but the C and micro are much stronger. i only had one problem with he micro and it as a bended pin and thus a bad connection.
most of the connections look like through hole and cannot be ripped off the PCB.
Alex Fischer
Current USB gets plugged in with the right side up, if you flip it around it will not fit in, because it is keyed like every other computer cable.USB Type-C will eliminate this problem and can be inserted without having to be aligned the right way.
hapless moron
wow i dont know how i ever managed to survive the non-reversible era – it was hell on earth every day
i feel like the world is now a safer place filled with butterflies and rainbows and cakes
Standard USB has 4 dimensions, we all know it. That's why a simpler 2 dimensional socket was needed.
faces or sides is a better word that dimensions.
Standard USB has 3 dimensions. The new standard C USB has 3 dimensions as well.
http://www.mrseb.co.uk/ Sebastian Anthony
I never thought a story on USB would devolve into discussion of DIMENSIONS.
What if USB connectors exist in a supersymmetrical universe??!?
Well… then we're condemned to use Lightning.
Looks nice, small and symmetric
Reversible in both connection and direction
Designed to replace all USB ports
Will allow for much thinner laptops and other electronics
100W – Can be adopted to be a charger port for laptops
Jack Hsiung
useless stupid invention.
if it retains compatibility with existing USB cable, then it'll work.
since it is not compatible, this will fail.
a small dumb adaptor (just wires) could make it compatible and usb has a lot more force than things like the more expensive thunderbolt.
it will succeed. i guess a lot of hardware maker would even want to swap out the usb A if this would be cheaper.
it will succeed because all new computers will use this standard. No one likes fumbling for the usb port wondering if it will be going in upside down or not. This eliminates that. It's more a matter of convenience.
Jack Hsiung
the usb is already "keyed", not much to fumble with. the usb is already standardized, no one want to buy a whole bunch of adopters for each and every item they buy.
yeah no doubt you are right. This tech will never take off because big tech cares about the 5 usb cords you own and how you will have to buy an adapter, or buy a new usb cable. That's what keeps them up at night.
the adaptor could be <1cm in size it would just be an wire connection because it still uses the usb signals etc.
it costs 2.5 euro max and it would be even smaller between micro and C type.
Jack Hsiung
i understand an adopter is available. what i don't like about it is the fact that it REQUIRES an adopter…. since its just essentially 2 normal usb stacked together, an adopter shouldn't be needed… just make the opening wider so it'll accept current usb devices.
hapless moron
aww, was it all a bit difficult for you?
there, there – have a cup of warm milk and a cry and you'll feel much better
Jack Hsiung
since its just essentially 2 current usb stacked together, an adopter shouldn't be needed… just make the opening wider so it'll accept current usb devices. is that a difficult logic for you?
seems to me they just wanted to sell adopters.
ok which genius just thought hey one side is top the flip it for bottom and didn't think hey fuckers usb 4.0 bitches power on both motherfucking sides and stop fiddledicking with 3.0
maybe something limited it back in the time, or nobody tought of that because everything was keyed in that time. even now display port hdmi etc are keyed.
the bigest fault was making it un feelable which side was the right one which was later solved by usb mini.
It'd be really nice if they'd put a colored line or something on the Type C cables so they'd be easily identifiable since they are so close in size to the micro USB
The UE law is easy to fix. they just have to declare the type C as a "micro USB" also. laws are funny that way. far as the old cable hassle, the cable has a symbol on the top just look and/or feel, and remember which way it goes. With my S4 the symbol goes up. too easy.
The law was passed by the EU, and it still has to go to the Council of Europe made up of various ministers. At that point, it's voted on, and then each country must incorporate that law into its national laws. There are about 2 years for all of this to happen. Do you honestly think that votes in two separate EU groups, then incorporations into national law are things that are fast?
If standards change, then official laws have to be updated in the EU charter and then on national levels.

I wonder how many man-hours have been wasted by the human race trying to plug in USB the right way.
Also, I wonder why they didn't go the route Apple did and make the plug a male and the connector a female instead of the weird male with a female opening in the center and female with a male set of pins in the center.
"female with a male set of pins in the center."
I believe those are very popular in Thailand.
I assume they wanted to be distinguishable from Apple's FireWire.
http://www.photo-hh.com/ -hh
Close … I'd assume that they don't want to admit that Apple's Lightning connecter is really the correct solution, but they didn't want to pay Apple's licensing fee … so they spent a bag of money to go come up with a "same, but different" solution.
…not to mention how much money is wasted on products where the flimsy micro USB plugs break rendering the device useless???

"Also, I wonder why they didn't go the route Apple did and make the plug a

opening in the center and female with a male set of pins in the center."
Because as headlines have shown, that makes the connectors susceptible corrosion…google "rusty lightning connector".
bob lebart
Yes! We need to see different connectors hit the market every few years to make us feel uncool about our current set of connectors, and help feed the poor starving companies who scheme- I mean, invent this junk.
hapless moron
i cant believe people are getting so wound up over a bloody connector ffs!
Magnus Holmgren
But surely this has to be the final, ultimate connector??
bob lebart
Yes, The Ultimate- if we just upgrade once more, never need to again!
We aren't ready for this kind of technology. 2025-2030 at the earliest.
I am happy to read this. Much like a lot of other people, I swear I don't know how I get the orientation "wrong" two times in a row…but I nearly always try one way…it doesn't go in, then I try the other way…it doesn't go in, so I try the first way again, and it does.
Same here. I also have this problem with keys.
Because standard USB is a 4 dimensional connector. We all know it.
The current usb design is a total disaster and had to be gone away with
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix it much. Sure the flip idea is nice, but the plugs are very fragile and easy to break. They need to put more energy into THAT problem first.
hapless moron
did you find them a difficult? after all, they were designed for people with an IQ of more than 25
you appear struggle with the caps lock key too
is both sides used for power?
So the only advantage of the new cable is that you don't need to worry about which side is up? But actually using it week require all the old cables, devices, and receptacles to just disappear?
Prediction: Will not be a successful standard.
The old cables cannot disappear overnight , they will transition to the new standard slowly, and it is about time they killed the micro usb too
The new standard also allows more current to be delivered through the cable. No more needing to worry about if your phone will charge slowly when connected to a computer or non-official charger.
Does it make the plug stronger and less easy to break? No? Fail.
You are right that there is a new standard for faster charging. But the new standard is USB 3.1, not the Type-C connector.
USB 3.1 uses the same plugs as we already have for USB 3, not this new plug. The USB 3.1 standard lets devices demand higher currents and supply voltages. Mobile phones will definitely be using USB Micro plugs for the next decade because it's the law in many regions.
This reversible plug is an extension of USB 3.1 that's not backwards compatible with anything. It's not more durable and it costs more to manufacture. The only advantage it has is this flippable aspect. Maybe non-compatibility is a plus for some companies such as Apple that want non-compatible plugs to make customer lock-in. But Apple doesn't like to take standards products, they want something unique that nobody else can grab.
I might be wrong, but it's my guess that this new style of plug will not catch on until USB 4.
Paul Arbour
But it isn't simply about the connector itself, the standard is also about adding USB 3 speeds to the smaller connectors, and having power to go over the cables.
Many years ago USB was promised to us as the salvation of humanity, we could replace every cable with just one single cable and never have to worry about configurations or drivers.
This puts us ALMOST there, i.e. because it carries 100W of power you could get rid of the power cord on your monitor, since it also has 10Gbps capacity you can drive your monitor with it, So no more VGA/DVI/HDMI/WHATEVER cable needed, one standard cable. external hard drives, same deal, no more power brick needed. Phones, computers, even your pet monkey, all powered and data driven by the same cord.
Salvation at last.
Julien Pierre
And in another 15 years, we might get genderless connectors & cables, too.
Excellent news , my laptop is due for replacement in the next year or so , I can't wait
Laptop? Wrong cable end. Your laptop USB plug won't change.
i'd rather the cable was compatible than have another type of cable kicking around….. 3 or 4 types of USB, DVI, HDMI of various types now. most USB connectors have that little trident on the top,– it isn't real hard to plug em in rightside up
The connector still looks extremely thin and extremely breakable! I hate to say it but Apple did the connector correctly, as it's MUCH more robust and strong.
Jack Hsiung
not really, my friend's iphone connector broke at least 5 times since it was purchased 5 month ago…
for charging, qi standard is the way to go.
let it be implemented early on as a new standard and let those legacy connectors connect through an adapter, we need to get rid of that pesky orientation
hapless moron
small things amuse small minds:
"the greatest invention in the known universe"
get a life and stop spouting bs – its only a connector fgs!
Silent Hunter
I miss RS-232.
What happened to the "Universal" in USB
http://rednetworkblog.net Térence Vigan
Nice…But, why not simply putting a led on the side which is actually good to be plugged in ? Or the problem isn't only visual ?
Kris Krajewski
Is the this one invented by Polish 10-year old boys years ago ?
It's derivative of Apple's Lightning connector, but not as robust. My hope is that now Apple will create a double-ended Lightning connector with a Lightning port on all future Macs.
Magnus Holmgren
What will happen if you try to connect a computer to itself?
Ban wasteful Bad Ideas
No backwards compatability with the billions of cables already produced?
The new design should be banned.
USB 3.0 on a Samsung Note 3 can connect easily to any USB 2.0 cable, and that is the way they should go.
Owners should NOT have to landfill thousands of tons of copper cable just because some small group of people are to stupid to understand the consequences of incompatability. I hope the EU bans this new design.
Oh, and for people complaining about 'flipping around' the cable to plug it in – One side of most cables has a name / or logo / or graphic printed on it – that is the side that faces you.
The 'blank' side faces away from you, to the back of the phone / portable hard drive / etc.
I will petition the governments to ban this Million Euro Landfill design.
Wasteful Idiots.

This weekend, families and Natural History Museum scientists will be heading down to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset for the Marine Parade Lyme Regis Fossil Festival.
Have fun in the sand at the Marine Parade Fossil Festival
One of the best family-friendly festivals on the south coast, the Fossil Festival is packed with arts and science for the whole family.
This year, the free Marine Parade festival focuses on marine reptile fossils that the Jurassic Coast is famous for, and the amazing diversity of creatures in the seas today.
There will be nature walks, rock pooling, and performances in the Marine Theatre, as well as fun talks, many by Museum scientists.
A snakestone ammonite fossil. Ammonites became extinct the same time as dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Museum talks includes topics such as the ancient human occupation of Britain, oil from the sea, reconstructing the environments of the dinosaurs and Charles Darwin and marine biology.
Taking place on the Jurassic Coast, England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Fossil Festival is the perfect place to learn about rare habitats, the history of life on Earth, and the links between biodiversity and geodiversity.
A fossil ichthyosaur, Ophthalmosaurus icenicus, like many Mary Anning uncovered on the Jurassic Coast
The Jurassic Coast is famous for uncovering some spectacular fossil specimens and most of these discoveries were made by a local woman, Mary Anning.
Born in 1799, Mary Anning made some of the most significant geological finds of all time, including many ichthyosaurs, providing evidence central to the development of new ideas about the history of Earth.
Marine Parade Lyme Regis Fossil Festival is open to the public Friday 29 April to Sunday, 29 April - 1 May.

Ohio's system for evaluating teachers (Ohio's Teacher Evaluation System) provides educators with a rich and detailed view of their performance, with a focus on specific strengths and opportunities for improvement.
State law (Ohio House Bill 362) brought changes to the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System for the 2014-2015 school year and beyond. The first change will allow less frequent evaluation of teachers receiving skilled and accomplished ratings, while still providing them with feedback on their work.
The second change will allow districts a choice between: 1) the current (original) teacher evaluation structure (based on teacher performance rating and student growth rating, each at 50 percent; and 2) the new alternative teacher evaluation framework, which weights teacher performance and student growth equally, but also includes an additional component as 15 percent of the total.
Evaluations have two components, each weighted at 50 percent:
Based on the evaluation, teachers receive one of four ratings.
Each teacher will be evaluated according to Ohio Revised Code and an evaluation framework that is aligned with the Standards for the Teaching Profession adopted under state law.
The electronic Teacher and Principal Evaluation System (eTPES) is the required accountability system for conducting and documenting educator evaluations and calculating ratings. Click here for more information.
The Educator Evaluation Process Review is in effect supporting educator evaluation implementation statewide as required by law. Each Ohio district will participate in the review once every four years. The purpose of the process review is to ensure districts are able to implement the Ohio Educator Evaluation systems with accuracy.

French studio Cercle introduce their new annual magazine and it's magnifique
When I was showing off the inaugural issue of French magazine Cercle to the rest of the editorial team, everyone commented on how darn good it smelled. But it turned out that these olfactory pleasures were just the start – this annual, thematic publication has set itself a high standard. This first issue is all about the forest but the editorial approach is anything but singular. The opening spread features a beautiful Gustave Doré drawing and interviews range from a forest manager to artists and writers plus there's a plethora of visual treats too, not least a host of excellent illustration.
Only certain bits are translated but those features are lively and enlightening while there's a coherency and confidence about the design that shows why Cercle Studio wanted to bring their own publication into the world. 2014's issue will be themed around science-fiction, and I'm already excited to see (and smell) it.

The Rotary Club of Los Alamos selects one student each month of the school year to honor as a Student of the Month. This year's recipients reflect a combination of both LAHS seniors and juniors; next year, only juniors will be recognized in hopes of inspiring their interest in Rotary programs that fall during the summer following junior year. Students are nominated by their teachers and chosen on the basis of their academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, and, in particular, their service to the community.
Phillips's involvement in school and church activities demonstrates the important role community service plays in her life. With interests in serving the disadvantaged, Phillips has traveled with the youth group from her church, Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran, to feed homeless people in Denver. Through similar church activities, she has had the opportunity to cook meals for the needy at St. Elizabeth Shelter in Santa Fe, which provides emergency lodging, food and counseling for the homeless.

Midfielder Liam Noble grabbed a goal in each half to give the Cumbrians victory at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday night and end Rovers' six-match unbeaten home run.
Abbott said: "The lads were terrific - every one of them right through the team.
"They all did their jobs and stuck to the game plan against a difficult team on a difficult surface.
"The last thing we wanted was to concede an early goal and we defended superbly right from the start.
"Without being disrespectful to Doncaster we looked comfortable and won a tad comfortably in the end.
"I'm pleased for Liam Noble because he's not shown off his best in the last few games but he can be a top player if he develops other sides of his game.
"He was top drawer in this game. In fact, the midfield was really dominant and the effort and determination we have shown in the last few games has been tremendous."

Tories see off demands for Hunt inquiry
Posted: June 14, 2012|
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt breathed a sigh of relief last night after MPs voted down a Labour demand for his referral to the Prime Minister's independent adviser on ministerial standards for investigation over his handling of News Corporation's bid to buy satellite broadcaster BSkyB.
Despite Nick Clegg's decision that Liberal Democrat MPs would abstain, Conservatives easily saw off the challenge by 290 to 252.
The vote came after David Cameron told MPs that his adviser, Sir Alex Allan, had written to him to say that he could not "usefully add to the facts" in the Hunt case uncovered by the Leveson Inquiry into media standards.
But Labour dismissed Mr Cameron's comments as an ineffective "smokescreen" and said that the Prime Minister's judgment in appointing Mr Hunt to a quasi-judicial role in the BSkyB bid was in question.
Mr Hunt gave a robust defence of his actions in the Commons, describing Labour allegations that he deliberately misled Parliament as ''disgraceful''. He admitted he may have inadvertently provided incorrect information when he claimed in the Commons to have released all his correspondence relating to the deal, but insisted he corrected the record at the earliest opportunity.
But Labour MP Chris Bryant accused him of lying to Parliament by failing to disclose a memo which he sent to Mr Cameron days before being given responsibility for the BSkyB bid, in which he argued the case for News Corp to be allowed to buy up the 61% of the satellite broadcaster which it did not already own.
Mr Hunt denied having allowed his personal views to influence his impartial handling of the bid, telling MPs: "The real story of this bid was insistence by me at several key stages on decisions that News Corp did not consider in their interests. This was not an easy process, nor was it ever likely to command popular support, but the decisions taken were done so fairly and my department deserves enormous credit as a result."
Deputy PM Nick Clegg gave his strongest defence yet of the Culture Secretary.
Giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry, the Lib Dem leader said: "On the specific point on how he handled the bid to make sure that he was insulated from accusations of allowing personal bias to drive the process, I think he has given a full, good and convincing account to this inquiry."

This study argues that the domain traditionally covered by 'coordination' and 'subordination' in English can be subdivided into four distinct construction types. The constructions are defined on the basis of differences in their 'interpersonal' structure, i.e. the grammatical encoding of speaker-attitude and speaker-interlocutor interaction. It is shown that the four types constitute syntactically, semantically and pragmatically coherent categories, with differences in interpersonal structure defining and motivating distinct syntactic behaviour, distinct pra

Our most familiar human activities are transfigured in the eucharist and bring us into life-giving contact with God in Jesus Christ. This statement lies at heart of this thought-provoking work. In this essay of "meditative theology," which incorporates aspects of contemporary philosophy, anthropology and linguistics in relation to eucharist, the author reflects on the intimate connection between food and language in the Eucharist. Tracing the progression from the act of eating to the celebration of a festal meal, he then moves to language, because the festal meal often concludes with a disco

By 2050, the demand for water to sustain world agriculture will increase by seventy-five per cent in order to feed an estimated nine billion inhabitants. Increased amounts of water will be required for irrigation and for industrial and domestic use. Natural ecosystems will be threatened by the expansion of agricultural land and by a reduction in water availability, while climate change will exacerbate the situation. Management of available resources, particularly groundwater, will become more critical and aquifers will need to be managed for the benefit of all. These selected papers were f

Federal Courts
This course addresses the role of the federal courts in the American system of federalism and separation of powers, as well as their role in the development of substantive federal law and constitutional rights. A central premise of the course is that the institutional, political, and constitutional features of federal court litigation cannot be understood without engaging the historical context, especially the social, political, and legal movements, in response to which the federal courts have developed. Thus while many of the traditional aspects of federal court jurisprudence will be covered (e.g., federal common law including implied rights of action, justiciability doctrines and other doctrines of restraint, congressional power to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts and to create "legislative courts" outside of Article III, Supreme Court review of judgments, state sovereign immunity, litigating against the government, and federal habeas corpus), doctrine will be placed alongside interdisciplinary readings on social, political, and theoretical accounts that reveal how the courts and ordinary Americans have come to understand the distinctive role of the federal courts, as well as claims for expansion or contraction of their powers. The course is strongly recommended for students interested in pursuing a career in litigation and/or judicial clerkships in the federal courts. Elements used in grading: Class attendance, class participation, take home exam.

-By Doc Coyle
Compiling a list of the most influential modern metal guitar players is intimidating. There was no way to do this without pissing a bunch of people off. I did my best to quantify which guitar players' mark was being felt the most by the up and coming generation of new bands and musical movements in the realm of all things heavy. Whose legacy stood the test of time? Why is player "A" more influential than player "B"? Is there empirical evidence to support these arguments? These are the burning questions. There are some tremendously phenomenal players who did not make this list because their significance will not be known for some time. There are some players who made a big splash initially, but stature has waned in recent years. There are some genres like Black Metal where I had difficulty pinpointing 1 or 2 specific players that stood out among the slew of pioneers.
It (arguably) all started when Tony Iommi lost his fingers in a machinist accident, but metal guitar has come a long way in 50 years. Enjoy this list in all of its imperfect glory!

What is eye swelling?
Swelling around the eyes is a common symptom of allergy, infection, inflammation, or even physical irritation. The medical term for swelling involving the skin around the eyes is periorbital edema. Chemosis is the term used to describe swelling of the outer coats of the eyeball (common with eye allergies). Eye swelling results from excess fluid (edema) escaping from inflamed blood vessels into the soft tissues surrounding the eyes. It may occur in conditions affecting the eye area itself or in association with more generalized conditions, such as colds or hay fever.
Inflammation of the surface of the eye (conjunctivitis) and inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis) are common causes of swollen eyes. Other common causes include crying, lack of sleep, or excessive rubbing of the eyes. Wearing contact lenses can also result in eye swelling. Depending on the cause, swelling may occur in one or both eyes, and it may be accompanied by redness, pain, itching, excessive tear production, or other types of discharge from the affected eyes.
Allergic reactions can lead to swelling of both eyes and, sometimes, of the entire face, especially in severe cases such as anaphylactic reactions. In rare cases, eye swelling is a symptom of serious infections of the soft tissues around or behind the eye, such as orbital cellulitis. The thyroid condition known as Graves' disease may be accompanied by swelling of the conjunctiva (chemosis) in addition to bulging eyes (proptosis). Injuries or trauma to the eyes, including corneal abrasions, orbital bone fracture, and foreign bodies in the eye, can all lead to swelling.
Eye swelling can be a sign of a serious condition.Seek prompt medical care if eye swelling is persistent or causes you concern. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you experience eye swelling along with facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or fever, or if you experience eye swelling as a result of head injury or trauma. Other symptomsthat require immediate medical care include swelling around the eye with fever, chills, pus, or redness around the eye. These are symptoms of orbital cellulitis, which, left untreated, can rapidly lead to serious complications, such as meningitis or a blood infection.
What other symptoms might occur with eye swelling?
Eye swelling may be accompanied by other symptoms, depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition. Symptoms that frequently affect the eyes may also involve other body systems.
Eye symptoms that may occur along with eye swellingEye swelling may accompany other symptoms affecting the eye area including:
What causes eye swelling?
Eye swelling results from excess fluid in the soft tissues surrounding the eye. Allergic reactions are a common cause of eye swelling. Such reactions may be caused by pollen (hay fever), animal dander, foods, or medicines.

Pad Thai Noodle Recipe
Pad Thai is probably the most popular dish of Thai cuisine. It is also known as one of the national dishes of Thailand. Pad Thai is a dish of stir fried rice noodles with eggs, fish sauce, bean sprouts, chili peppers, green onions among many other ingredients and condiments. The great thing about Pad Thai is that you can add and subtract whatever ingredients you like as long as it has the main sauce in it along with eggs.
Many people judge a Thai restaurant on their Pad Thai. A good Pad Thai dish has firm, dry noodles that has a complex and balanced flavor. The noodles should be red to brown in color. It should not be deep red but a light red/brown color. A good Pad Thai should not be oily and it should be fresh.
Some good Pad Thai around the San Francisco area that I have tried are King of Thai Noodle and Sai Jai Thai. Both always have solid Pad Thai among other dishes.
Here is a recipe I found online on this site. This site is all about Thai recipes and is pretty legit. So here is an authentic recipe if you would like to try out Pad Thai at home.
- 1/2 banana flower (Optional)
- 1-1/3 cup bean sprouts (Optional)
- 1-1/2 cup Chinese chives (Optional)
- 1 egg
- 4 teaspoons fish sauce
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper
- ground pepper
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tablespoons peanuts (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon preserved turnip (Optional)
- 1 minced shallots
- 1/2-1/4 lb shrimp (Optional)
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1/2 package Thai rice noodles ( I used the noodles I used in my Pho recipe here)
- 1/3 cup extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Start with soaking the dry noodles in lukewarm or room temperature water while preparing the other ingredients.
- Getting the noodles just right is the trickiest part of making Pad Thai. Make sure that the noodles are submerged in plenty of water.
- By the time you are ready to put ingredients in the pan, the noodles should be flexible but not mushy.
- Julienne tofu and cut into 1 inch long matchsticks. When cut, the super firm tofu/pressed tofu should have a mozzarella cheese consistency.
- You can fry the tofu separately until golden brown and hard, or you can fry with other ingredients below.
- Cut the Chinese chives into 1 inch long pieces. Set aside a few fresh chives for a garnish. Rinse the bean sprouts and save half for serving fresh. Mince shallot and garlic together.
- Heat up a wok on high heat and pour the oil into the wok. If you do not have a wok, any big pot will do.
- Fry the peanuts until toasted and remove them from the wok. The peanuts can be toasted in the pan without oil as well.
- Add shallot, preserved turnip, garlic and tofu and stir them until they start to brown. The noodles should be flexible but not expanded at this point.
- Drain the noodles and add to the wok. Stir quickly to keep things from sticking. Add tamarind, sugar, fish sauce and chili pepper. Stir. The heat should remain high. If your wok is not hot enough, you will see a lot of juice in the wok at this point. Turn up the heat, if it is the case.
- Make room for the egg by pushing all noodles to the side of the wok.
- Crack the egg onto the wok and scramble it until it is almost all cooked. Fold the egg into the noodles. The noodles should soft and chewy. Pull a strand out and taste.
- If the noodles are too hard (not cooked), add a little bit of water. When you get the right taste, add shrimp and stir.
- Sprinkle white pepper around. Add bean sprouts and chives. Stir a few more times. The noodles should be soft, dry and very tangled.
- Pour onto the serving plate and sprinkle with ground pepper and peanuts.
- Serve hot with the banana flower slice, a wedge of lime on the side, raw Chinese chives and raw bean sprouts on top.
- As always, in Thailand, condiments such as sugar, chili pepper, vinegar and fish sauce are available at your table for your personal taste. Some people add more chili pepper or sugar at the table.

Hypnotized by
water diamonds brilliantly
shining on the lake
and by the melodic sound
of song birds,
I am in a peaceful
In this moment
I know no anxieties,
worries or pain.
From this realm
of utter chaos
oblivion breaks the chain.
I close my eyes and bask
in this mode of
sanctuary stillness,
while the symphony of
nature's true joys
take away my sorrows
and leave me with
spiritual wellness.

New Delhi: The infamous Inter Milan coach has responded to Sir Alex Ferguson's comparisons between Ronaldo and all-time greats Pele and Diego Maradona, claiming that the United ace is over-rated.
Earlier this month, Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned as European Footballer of the Year, following an unforgettable club year with Manchester United, where he won the the Premier League, Champions League, and finished the 2007/08 season with 42 goals to claim the European Golden Boot.
However, the Portuguese has always divided opinion, with many people claiming that he fails to perform in big games, against better opponents in the crunch matches.
Yesterday, his club manager Sir Alex Ferguson compared Ronaldo to footballing greats Diego Maradona and Pele, but Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex and indeed Ronaldo's rival during his time in charge of Chelsea, has laughed off the comparisons.
"Ronaldo is a good player, but he is not the best in the world," 'The Special One' told Simona Ventura on RAIDUE show 'Quelli Che il Calcio'.
"He deserved the Ballon d'Or this year because his club side won the Champions League, the Premier League and he scored many goals."
Mourinho then stressed though that Ronaldo could not be placed in the same class category as Lionel Messi, Kaka and his own star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"When I think of how a player should be, I think of Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Messi [not Ronaldo]," he explained.
"Messi is a phenomenon, but in my opinion, Ibrahimovic is the best."
Mourinho then spoke about his concerns over whether troubled Brazilian striker Adriano will ever find his best form again, but it is his remarks concerning Ronaldo that have grabbed the headlines.
Inter take on Manchester United in the Champions League last 16 in February, and Ronaldo will be under pressure to prove Mourinho wrong.
