New wireless technology appeared, and the use of online video exploded. Privacy issues received new attention as online social networks took off and disparate consumer databases were to be merged. The music industry seemed poised to embrace advertising-supported free music.
New Technology
The introduction of the Apple iPhone, which was really a handheld computer running a version of the firm's Macintosh operating system (OS), was easily the biggest event of 2007 for consumers. It combined an Apple iPod, touch-screen controls, and a cellular telephone that exclusively used AT&T's wireless network for voice and data.
The iPhone went on sale in the United States at the end of June, and more than one million units were sold in less than three months. It was introduced in Europe late in the year. Apple's initial European agreements were to provide the iPhone to Germany through T-Mobile, to the U.K. through O2, and to France through Orange. One concern was that the iPhone was not technically capable of taking advantage of faster European wireless networks that sped up Internet use.
The iPhone became one of the most quickly marked-down electronic gadgets, undergoing its first price cut—from $599 to $399 for the most popular model with 8 GB (gigabytes) of storage—in only two months. Apple CEO Steven Jobs said that the price cut was intended to increase demand for the iPhone during the all-important holiday shopping season, when sales of consumer electronics products typically hit a peak. Although price cuts generally were popular with consumers, the move angered those American customers who had paid up to $599 for their iPhones immediately after the product was introduced. Apple tried to mollify them with $100 store credits.
The number of Internet services delivered to cellular telephones continued to grow. The main developers of wireless Internet software were Symbian, Microsoft, Palm, and Research in Motion, plus some smaller players that used the Linux OS. The hottest area was so-called interactive Web content, including music, games, and video. More evidence of the broadening Internet-ready cellular-telephone market appeared when RealNetworks said that it would cooperate with MTV to sell songs that were downloaded over the Verizon Wireless cellular-telephone network for use on cellular telephones and handheld smart devices. Some new services, such as Twitter, were crossovers that served computers and cellular telephones. Twitter provided networks of friends with short messages so that they could stay constantly in touch, via either computer-based instant messaging and Web forms or cellular-telephone text messaging.
The iPhone added momentum to the trend of accessing the Internet via Wi-Fi (wireless-fidelity) hot spots, which were found in restaurants, hotels, and coffee shops. Smart telephones equipped with Wi-Fi could reach the Internet at several times the speed of cellular networks. Some experts believed that Wi-Fi Internet access would rival cellular, both for data and for voice calls that used Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which had begun to catch on with consumers. Sprint Nextel was one cellular-telephone company that took the threat seriously. It planned to spend as much as $5 billion over three years to build a high-speed voice-and-data network that used a next-generation wireless Internet technology called WiMAX, which exceeded the speed and range of Wi-Fi. The status of that strategy was in doubt, however, after the company's CEO resigned.
Apple also took advantage of the Wi-Fi trend with its new iPod Touch (essentially an iPhone without the cellular-telephone capability), which for the first time allowed an iPod to download music directly from Apple's iTunes online music store via a Wi-Fi hot spot. Previous iPods required first downloading a song to a personal computer.
Municipal Wi-Fi networks, widely seen as a way to provide ubiquitous broadband in cities and to offer lower-cost service that more people could afford, suffered their first setback as high-profile projects in San Francisco and Chicago were dropped over cost issues. Wi-Fi network builder EarthLink, which announced internal cutbacks and layoffs, declined to pursue a contract with San Francisco to build a citywide network. Chicago dropped its plan for a citywide network after it was unable to reach an agreement with either AT&T or EarthLink, the two companies bidding to build the network. Meanwhile, municipal Wi-Fi networks were up and running in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Anaheim (Calif.), and Corpus Christi (Texas) and were under construction in other cities, such as Minneapolis (Minn.).
Microsoft introduced its new Windows Vista PC operating software at the end of January, but after most of a year in the marketplace, it generated so little enthusiasm that Microsoft agreed to keep selling its older Windows XP for several months after it was to have been discontinued. User complaints about Vista included error messages while copying files, OS crashes, and problems with attached printers. Several PC makers, including Fujitsu, provided easy ways for customers to "downgrade" their new computers from Vista to the older XP operating system. Google claimed that the OS made it difficult to use non-Microsoft programs for "desktop searches" (scanning a PC's hard drive for information). To avoid a lawsuit, Microsoft agreed with the U.S. Justice Department and 17 state attorneys general to change Vista so that consumers could more easily use alternative desktop search programs.
Microsoft said that it would begin to market a commercial computer for information kiosks that used a touch-sensitive screen and had the ability to recognize some physical objects. Called Microsoft Surface, it was a pedestal-shaped device with a 12-cm (30-in) screen inside a tabletop. Besides physical touch, it could recognize input from a digital camera or the bar code on a plastic ID card placed on its screen.
Two scientists received the 2007 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery of a physical effect that was soon used to reduce the size of computer hard-disk drives. Albert Fert of France and Peter Grünberg of Germany in 1988 independently discovered the effect, called giant magnetoresistance. (See Nobel Prizes.) Giant magnetoresistance made it possible to read fainter magnetic signals on a magnetic disk, which in turn made it possible to increase the density of data on the disk. The first hard-disk drive that used the discovery was introduced in 1997.
Corporations in the U.S. were forced to deal with a potential computer problem created when the country extended Daylight Saving Time by a month. The clocks inside most computers were programmed to recognize the old daylight-time schedule established in 1986. Although no major problems were attributed to computers' or smart telephones' being out of sync with official time, publicly traded U.S. corporations spent an estimated $350 million to fix the problem with software patches.
The One Laptop per Child Foundation, which was trying to provide less-developed countries with low-cost portable computers that could use a pulley for hand-generated electrical power, said that it planned to begin full production late in the year. The Massachusetts organization said that although initial computer units would cost $200, it expected the price to drop to $100 per computer by the end of 2008. One reason for the low price was the computer's use of the free, open-source Linux OS, although it also would be able to run a version of Microsoft Windows XP.
IBM said that it had developed a way to remove computer-chip processing bottlenecks by swapping one type of memory technology for another. By speeding up a traditionally slower type of chip memory called dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM, IBM was able to substitute it on computer chips for static random-access memory, or SRAM. The swap allowed the amount of memory on a computer chip to be tripled, which eliminated a bottleneck caused when data could not be pulled into the chip's processor fast enough from an adjacent memory chip. The modification allowed the processor chips to work up to twice as fast.
Meanwhile, chip manufacturers Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel continued their competition to put the most processors on a single chip. AMD released its latest Opteron chips—for computer servers—which each contained four processors. Adding more processors per chip increased the chip's calculating speed and energy efficiency. Intel previously had offered Xeon server processors that combined two chips with two processors each. Intel also said that it had made an experimental chip that contained 80 computer processors capable of handling more than one trillion operations per second while using less electricity than an ordinary chip, but the company said that the device was only for research and would not be marketed.
The two types of high-definition DVD players, Sony's Blu-ray and Toshiba's HD DVD, continued to battle over which one would become the industry standard, much as VHS videotape recorders competed with Betamax recorders to become the consumer TV-recording standard in the 1980s. Blu-ray, which offered the greater disc capacity, appeared to be gaining ground in retail disc sales over HD DVD, which offered a simpler manufacturing process. The uncertainty over the outcome continued to slow consumer acceptance of high-definition video recorders.

- Particle verbs and the conditions of projection (2000)
- In this paper I discuss the properties of particle verbs in light of a proposal about syntactic projection. In section 2 I suggest that projection involves functional structure in two important ways: (i) only functional phrases can be complements, and (ii) lexical heads that take complements and project must be inflected. In section 3, I show that the structure of particle verbs is not uniform with respect to (i) and (ii). On the one hand, a particle always combines with an inflected verb; in this respect, particle verbs look like verb-complement constructions. On the other hand, the particle is not a functional phrase and therefore is not a proper complement, which makes the combination of the particle and the verb look more like a morphologically complex verb. I argue that syntactic rules can in fact interpret the node dominating the particle and the verb as a projection and as a complex head. In section 4, I show that many of the characteristic properties of particle verbs in the Germanic languages follow from the fact that they are structural hybrids.
- Left dislocation in Zulu (2004)
- This paper examines left dislocation constructions in Zulu, a Southern Bantu language belonging to the Nguni group (Zone S 40). In Zulu left dislocation configurations, a topic phrase in the beginning of the sentence is linked to a resumptive element within the associated clause. Typically, the resumptive element is an incorporated pronoun (cf. Bresnan & Mchombo 1987), as illustrated by the examples in (1) and (2). In these examples, the object pronoun (in italics) is part of the verbal morphology and agrees with the noun class (gender) of the dislocate. This situation is schematically illustrated in (3), where co-indexation represents agreement: ...

The Music Room (Jalsaghar)
Reviewer: Philip Tatler IV
Rating (out of five): * * **
Over the opening credits of Satyajit Ray's 1958 The Music Room (Jalsaghar), a chandelier drifts out of the darkness, slowly swaying into view like some luminescent deep sea creature. This chandelier, one of several that hang in the titular room, will come to symbolize the flickering (pre-electric) light of a way of life that is quickly disappearing.
The Music Room is a fin de siècle story along the lines of The Leopard or The Magnificent Ambersons, detailing the last member of a feudal dynasty's slide into obscurity. When we first see Lord Roy (Bengali matinee idol Chhabi Biswas), he is alone on the roof of his decaying palace, lost in thought. A sparse exchange with his servant (Kali Sarkar) reveals that Lord Roy has no idea what month or season it is.
His stupor is interrupted as he hears the strains of music coming from his neighbor's house. The neighbor Mahim Ganguly (Gangapada Bose) is a commoner who has made his fortune as a money lender and doesn't hail from the same pedigree as Lord Roy. Hearing the music stirs Roy's memory, catapulting him back a few years to the beginning of his decline.
Lord Roy's family wealth has all but run out. His ancestral home is being slowly eroded by neglect (and the nearby Padma River). Nevertheless, it is vital to Roy to maintain the appearance of opulence, especially in the face of Gunguly's encroachment on Roy's territory. Roy hocks and mortgages the last of his valuables to throw lavish musical performances at his palace. It's never quite clear to the viewer (or, most likely, Lord Roy himself) whether these concerts are arranged for the love of music or for the sake of keeping up with Gunguly's own soirees.
Despite Lord Roy's declaration that Gunguly is "a dwarf reaching for the moon," Roy remains enslaved by the need to prove his superiority. Ultimately, this need to out-perform his neighbor (and to stay relevant in a changing world) comes at too great a personal and financial cost for Lord Roy. A tragedy destroys his ability to enjoy music altogether and we are back on the roof with a lost, hopeless Lord Roy. English, electricity, and automobile engines have encroached into Roy's world and his response is to wither gracefully.
However, he is soon coaxed out of his isolation by (what else?) the need to once again trump Gunguly. This culminates in one of the most exciting, exotic musical set pieces I have ever seen.
The film is buoyed by a solid performance by Biswas, who's in nearly every frame. Biswas walks the line between wistful and arrogant, perfectly portraying a man who's resigned himself to obsolescence in the face of modernity. Ray's especially fond of lingering on Lord Roy's face; we see him think more than we hear him talk, whether he's lost in the music or plotting another way to one-up his interloping neighbor. Bose is also perfectly cast as Lord Roy's foil and perfectly balances a sort of oily sycophancy with an irreverent confidence.
Even though Ray is probably best known for his Apu Trilogy, it was an eight-month Parisian run of The Music Room in the early 1980s that sparked a Ray renaissance in the Western world. In 1992, the year Ray received a lifetime achievement Academy Award, extensive restoration of Ray's films began. The Music Room represents the first fruits of this effort to preserve Ray's work and bring it to larger audiences. The film has been resurrected from negatives damaged by heat and humidity, polishing Subrata Mitra's black and white cinematography to its original stark beauty.
As usual, the Criterion Collection's DVD comes generously supplemented, the highlight being a two hour documentary that delves deep into Ray's life and work.

Short Week for Legislature
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – Maine lawmakers are returning this week for a short session during which they'll debate both new issues and old.
The Democrat-controlled Legislature returns on Wednesday for the 2014 session.
Among the items on the agenda will be a renewed effort from Democrats to expand Medicaid coverage to roughly 70,000 Mainers under the Affordable Care Act. Republican Gov. Paul LePage vetoed the bill last session.
LePage has said he's going to push for legislation next session designed to reform the state's welfare programs.
LePage says he plans to introduce a bill that would require some welfare recipients to show that they've applied for jobs. He also plans to introduce a bill that would repeal some exemptions of work requirements for recipients.

(CBS) Starbucks customers who are used to getting their decaf grande mochachino after lunch will have to wait a little longer than usual to get their fix.
Caffeine-free coffee will be made-to-order only after noon, which should add about four minutes to the wait time, according to an e-mail statement from the company issued Tuesday.
"For many of our stores, the demand for decaf is greatly reduced in the afternoon," the company said in the statement. "With our current standard of continually brewing decaf after 12 p.m. regardless of demand, we have seen a high amount of waste."
Bloomberg reports that the world's largest coffee chain is cutting off the decaf after noon in an effort to save $400 million in the next eight months.

Jersey Shore
Jersey Shore Review: Rate Season 5, Episode 3 "Dropping Like Flies"
While the episode started a bit somber this week with Vinny leaving the house, the Seaside crew quickly snapped back to normal by coping like any normal humans would — getting incoherent and having a drunken daytime dance party (Snooki and Deena), getting into fights at the club (The Situation), and smushing random girls in Vinny's bed (Pauly D).
Just as our hearts were breaking while the roommates spoke on the phone with Vinny, we got some comic relief watching Pauly D's Bosnian booty call leave the house and immediately come back to try and get with Mike.
The comic relief continued when The Situation went into self-loathing mode, excused himself from Pauly's birthday dinner, and fell asleep on a couch at the classiest restaurant in Seaside, Rivolis.
As the episode was coming to an end, Mike had a borderline emotional breakdown and seemed to leave the shore house. Talk about a dramatic week for this crazy crew!

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 1997 The mobilization insurance program has problems, but beneficiaries will be paid, misleading news reports to the contrary, said DoD spokesman Air Force Maj. Tom Schultz.
"People who have signed up and are due benefits will eventually be paid in full," Schultz said. "There is a shortfall of funds, so for the time being, they're being paid a temporary prorated 4 percent of their benefits. No matter what happens, DoD and Congress are committed to working together on this problem."
Deborah Lee, assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs, said DoD is asking Congress to approve a $72 million special appropriation to cover the insurance fund until the end of fiscal 1997. "They will get the full payment down the road," Lee emphasized. "We want to get the word out to as many troops as possible. Yes, we've had a tough start, but we're going to make sure they get their benefits -- partial benefits on time and the balance as soon as we have it worked through Congress."
Mobilization insurance costs $12.20 per $1,000 worth of coverage, Lee said. A reservist can choose coverage from $500 to $5,000 per month, and insurance kicks in if the member is involuntarily activated. The insurance doesn't cover volunteers.
The Ready Reserve Mobilization Income Insurance Program went into effect Sept. 30, 1996 and is supposed to be self-sustaining -- that is, contributions cover the benefits, Lee noted. She said the start-up has been difficult because of the low enrollment and the timing of the call-up for Bosnia.There has been little time to build a fund.
"As a result, we owe more money each month than we have coming into the fund," Lee noted. "But we're taking quick action to remedy the situation. If the troops will be patient with us, they will get paid. We are going to get it resolved as quickly as possible."
The plan covers only those under current or future involuntary presidential call-ups, Lee noted. "Which, at this time, means guardsmen and reservists participating in Joint Guard," she said. "There was no involuntary call-up for Zaire."
Personnel currently serving in the Selected Reserve were notified in October and November and given 60 days to enroll. "If they decline coverage, they won't get another chance to opt in unless Congress allows another open enrollment period in the future," Lee said.
New personnel joining the Selected Reserve get 60 days from the first day of the first full month after the member is first notified or the member is automatically enrolled for coverage.
Schultz pointed out participants don't receive benefits the first 30 days they're on active duty. The plan kicks in the second month, and if they work only a portion of the month, they'll get a partial payment.
Lee said surveys of reserve component personnel after the Persian Gulf War ended revealed about two-thirds of the nearly 268,000 reservists activated for the conflict suffered economic loss. DoD officials were also concerned about the effect this would have on retention as the military services increase their use of the reserve components.
"We discovered that between 60 and 70 percent reported they'd suffered substantial or severe income loss when they left their civilian occupation and went off to the conflict for a year or more," Lee said.
"That's a quality of life issue, and that's why we got involved and why we care about the program," Lee noted. "We've worked very hard to implement mobilization insurance because we consider it to be an important quality of life initiative for reservists, who are being asked to do more in the post-Cold War era."
Reserve and National Guard members should look at this insurance as a long-term career decision before choosing how much coverage to take. They should consider their income earning potential and the future impact on their families if they are called up, according to Schultz.
"Once a guardsman or reservist picks a certain amount of coverage, the law doesn't allow them to increase the amount as their income rises. For example, an E-2 picks the lowest level of coverage, then in five or 10 years the service member is an E-7. On the civilian side, that same person moves from an apprentice to a journeyman position. He or she would have inadequate coverage."
The military's dependence on the reserve component personnel means there is a strong possibility reserve component members will be called up in the future, therefore they should consider the insurance program over the long haul, Lee said.

About newborn Kits
Baby chinchillas are born fully developed. Their eyes are open, they have teeth and can move around as soon as they are dry. Normally they will nurse for around six weeks and may even try to eat chinchilla pellets when just a few days old. It is not advised to give them raisins or treats at an early age. They need their mum's milk. They usually stay with mum until they are 8-10 weeks old. To separate them from mum it is best to have them caged with kits of their own age.
This is one of the hardest task any breeder has to do. If mother has died, or has deserted/abandoned her kit, or is too sick to tend her kit. Please read on...........
First and foremost strict cleanliness and hygeine. Always wash hand with antibacterial soap or hibiscrub(may be bought from a vet practice)which should really be at hand and stored in your chinchilla first-aid box
To Feed a baby you need to read up on it here feeding or supplimenting
Always maintain strict sterilising of all materials used in hand rearing. A chinchilla kit can fall ill all too easily from infection passed on by unclean utensils.
As said on the page in link above, feed every two hours at first (throughout night too) As kit takes more, the feed will last longer and the time between feeds may be slowly increased. After a few days you will find the baby will tell you when it needs fed. It will come to the front of the small cage or carrier you have it in and look for you. A reminder here too. after each feel always remember to wipe its face and then massage its bottom with a cotton wool ball dipped in warm (not hot) water to stimulate the kit to pass urine and droppings just as mum does for it.
Teaching kit to bathe
A few days after birth try to teach the kit how to bathe in a sand-bath. This part is fun, you will enjoy it.
Put some sand in a butter/margarine tub. not a lot, just a small layer to cover the base, Into this tub put the kit. Carefully sprinkle some sand on its back. Avoid eye and head area. ruffle the sand into its fur on it's back, just as you would shampoo your own hair.
As you do so and with your other hand play with the sand, letting it run through your fingers etc as though bathing your hands. Make sure the kit sees you do this. as the days go on, encourage the kit to roll over by gently coaxing him/her by placing him in the sand on his side as you place him in the tub, this way he has to twist to stand up and shake. Within a few days your kit will be rolling quite happily.

Deglazing v. flambée-ing
I am planning on making steak au poivre, and while looking at a couple of recipes for approaches to the pepper sauce, I noticed many of them recommend flambée-ing, but do not explain why.
I know that deglazing (adding booze or other liquid to a hot greasy pan) and flambée-ing (lighting booze on fire in a warm greasy pan) are both ways to add boozy flavor to a gravy while getting rid of the alcohol, but what are the differences in result between the two, if any?
Thanks for your wisdom.

2012 Honda Odyssey Performance
This performance review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
With a car-like ride and handling that's responsive for a minivan, reviewers agree that that 2012 Honda Odyssey is the best-driving minivan on the market. While a few point out that the Toyota Sienna has more power in its V6, others don't notice a difference on the road, thanks to the Honda's refined transmission. While saying that no minivan is truly invigorating to drive, reviewers note that, of the bunch, the Odyssey is the most enjoyable.
- "Performance and handling may rank pretty far down on the list of mommymobile priorities, but Honda strove to improve these areas, too. Acceleration feels considerably brisker with the six-speed, and stopping distances are improved by upsizing the rotors an inch all around." -- Motor Trend
- "Feeling somewhat like a slightly overweight Accord Sedan, the 2012 Honda Odyssey minivan is a well-rounded vehicle that is easy to live with on both urban and rural roads." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "If we were to pick a single attribute of the Odyssey that most impressed us, we would have to go with how little the Odyssey drove like a traditional minivan of yesteryear. A quick spin won't make you forget that there's a huge people-and-junk-hauling cabin behind you, but the Odyssey's agility is remarkable." -- Left Lane News
Acceleration and Power
The 2012 Honda Odyssey is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 248 horsepower. LX, EX and EX-L trims have a five-speed automatic transmission, while Touring models have a six-speed automatic. Reviewers say the powertrain works well, delivering adequate power for all situations, but a few complain that there's no manual shift mode with either transmission.
Models with the six-speed automatic transmission get an EPA-estimated 19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway. With the five-speed automatic, those numbers drop to 18/27 city/highway.
- "Touring models are a bit more responsive thanks to their six-speed automatic transmission that executes shifts quickly and smoothly. Even though the Odyssey is outpowered by the Toyota Sienna's 266-hp V6, this new powertrain feels just as lively, with either minivan able to confidently merge onto the highway or pass slower moving traffic." -- Edmunds
- "Acceleration is adequate in all situations, with a good jump from a stop and decent passing power. Both transmissions upshift smoothly, but the 5-speed doesn't always downshift promptly in passing maneuvers; the 6-speed is better in this regard. Cylinder deactivation, which is used to save fuel, is virtually seamless." -- Consumer Guide
- "The six-speed transmission is smooth, but even the five-speed does the job superbly. I recommend against making a trim-level decision based on the transmissions; there simply isn't a big enough improvement when moving up to the six-speed. If you opt for the Touring, it should be because of all its added gizmos and features." -- Cars.com
- "A slight press on the throttle sends the Odyssey off the line with confidence. Around town, there is more than enough torque to move around smartly and weave between the tourists who obviously aren't under any type of schedule. We spent about 15 minutes on the surface streets, never bumping much over 50 mph. The transmission shifts smoothly. … The power from the engine is exactly what you would expect from a six-cylinder eight-passenger minivan." -- Autoblog
Handling and Braking
Reviewers say the 2012 Honda Odyssey is the best-handling minivan on the market. Of course, that's not saying much. Still, critics can't find fault with how the Odyssey feels on the road. They say it's as smooth and stable as a sedan, and while it doesn't invite spirited maneuvers, it can still hold its own on the twisties.
- "The ride is as comfortable and poised as before, with body roll remaining minimal for a minivan. A new variable-displacement power-steering pump reduces effort slightly, but a bit of steering feel has been lost along with it; the average minivan buyer likely won't mind, and the Odyssey remains the driver's choice in the segment." -- Car and Driver
- "Sporty for a minivan. Odyssey exhibits only moderate body lean in fast turns. The electrically assisted power steering feels very light at all speeds but maintains good response. Response is a bit sharper with the Touring models' 18-inch tires." -- Consumer Guide
- "What's more, Honda has now developed the ride and handling of its front-drive minivan to such a high level that I speculate how far back in history we have to go to find sports cars that didn't handle this well. Probably not all that far." -- Road and Track
- "To our surprise (and delight) the Honda's Odyssey minivan handled everything we threw at it, although not always with the poise of a Porsche. Our Odyssey minivan did well in emergency maneuvering, performing multiple rapid stops and remaining on course through some crazy fast turns. If your doubts about owning a minivan center around thoughts of poor handling and acceleration, the 2012 Odyssey will put your mind at ease." -- Kelley Blue Book

American Electric Power reported electricity out to a little more than 6,000 customers in Huntington and its surrounding area, as of 6 p.m.
In Cabell County, 1.823 customers were without electricity.
Elsewhere, American Electric Power's website was still reporting 2,796 customers without electricity in Wayne County; 997 in Putnam County and 650 in Mason County.
In Lawrence County, Ohio, 136 American Electric Power customers were without power.
In Kentucky, Greenup County had 191 customers without power, according to American Electric Power's website.
Cabell County 911 reported downed trees across the county. It was much the same story in Lawrence County, where a dispatcher confirmed several roads are shut down due to downed trees or utility lines.
Initial reports to Cabell County 911, included a tree that fell on a car in the 1800 block of 12th Avenue. The road was momentarily closed.
Dispatchers also received reports of downed trees at 5th Street and 5th Avenue and another on three cars at a marina in Guyandotte.
Additional rain and storms are possible through Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston.

Heart Issue
I find it troubling that a few who appear to espouse the more moderate viewpoint and tone on this site would make light of spirited opinion offered by persons who hold conservatism close to their heart or even seek to decry the effort of some to shout forth the glaring difference between a conservative GOP and the democrats.
I am a RedState member for the very reason that I did not join a bluestate or purplestate site.
I took time to read the 2008 GOP platform and happily found that I could embrace the document in it's entirety. I think that a respect for life is the most important belief a person can have except for a belief in God. I have concerns about the direction that the country has taken since the 1960s and I do not have as much hope for the future as I did in the 1980s. I am one who thinks Rush is right much of the time. I do not have any desire to see a GOP tent that would include folks who share more beliefs with the democrats than with those outlined in the platform. I wish they would leave the party and halt their misrepresentation. I do not think a person can reconcile supporting President Obama and making a claim to be a member of the GOP.
Republicans were once known as a party that would cast a silhoutte from the light of conservatism being shone on and around it. In the past few years the silhouette is losing it's definition. If the party does not cast that silhouette, it will be indistinguishable from the group of dems.
James Kennedy told a story on different occasions about Alexander the Great meeting a young boy who had fled from a battle. The boy was to be executed for deserting the battle line. Alexander the Great saw how young he was and he asked him what had happened during the battle. As he listened, he felt compassion and decided to give the boy a pardon. He then asked him his name. The boy replied "Alexander." Alexander the Great became troubled and asked again – " What is your name?" The boy replied "Alexander, sir." Alexander reportedly became very angry and shouted at the boy " Change your conduct (behavior) or change your name."
I think we have some politicians who are viewed by the media as party spokespersons who need a change of party name. They act like dems, they support dem candidates. They need to leave. This is not about seeking a blind pledge of party allegiance or trying to obtain one hundred percent conservative purity. It is about being able to readily identify persons who publically represent the GOP as conservatives. It is about embracing the GOP platform. I am not smart enough to even attempt to say at what point an individual should no longer be affiliated with the GOP but I think that some of these folks already know that they truly do not belong.
Our nation is at a crossroads similar to the one we faced when Jimmy Carter was in office. The GOP was not trusted by many and the dems were forcing all types of wrongheaded issues on the public. Thankfully, RWR cast a well defined silhouette in the latter part of Carter's term. President Obama is hypocritical novice who is pushing the country into a financial and social quagmire. My hope is that the GOP will soon find the RWR for this decade and the next and that conservative candidates will flourish in 2010.
My heart to your eyes,
the dude

While the highlight of Sony's 2013 Gamescom press conference in Cologne, Germany, may have been the announcement of PlayStation 4's November 15 launch date, a few shots were fired across the bow of its competitors - Microsoft in specific.
"While others have shifted their message and changed their story, we were consistent in maintaining policies and a model that is fair and in tune with consumer desires," said Andrew House, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
The comment was made in reference to Microsoft's numerous reversals in policy and stance in regards to that company's upcoming home entertainment console, Xbox One. Since the device's debut this Spring, Microsoft has made an about-face on its always-on requirement, digital rights management, and Kinect requirement. The turnarounds on such policies have earned the system the derogatory nickname of "Xbox 180".
Sony's PlayStation 4 lists at $399, a cool $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One, which is scheduled to release in the same month. Nintendo's next-gen console, Wii U, launched last November at $299 and $349 depending on specs.

DePaul Teaching & Learning Blogs
3-step interview
What is it? Students interview a partner and report back to a larger group.
Good for: Introductions and icebreakers; helping students cover a lot of material (e.g., sharing what they learned from readings); starting class discussion¬; allowing all students to speak without taking a lot of class time
How to: Have students split into pairs. Each person interviews the other, with questions provided by the instructor. Then the pair finds another couple and forms a quad. Each person takes turns introducing his or her partner and a summary of his/her responses to the group.
Round Table
What is it? Students take turns responding to a prompt or question.
Good for: Brainstorming, collaborative writing prompts, identifying key points from a reading/lecture; defining a key term; midterm/final review
How to: Have students form small groups. Then give the students a question or problem and have them state their ideas aloud as they write them down, each taking turns. Ideally students will not skip turns, but if one gets stuck, he or she may "pass."
Think – Pair – Share
What is it? A quick activity that allows students to think before sharing their responses with a nearby partner.
Good for: Giving students time to think independently before responding to prompts or answering questions; efficient group activity (i.e., all students can speak without taking a lot of class time)
How to: Give students at least 30 seconds to think prior to responding to a question or prompt you give them. Then have students turn to a partner and share their responses.
Knotty Problems
What is it? Individual students get feedback from peers on resolving obstacles to complex problems.
Good for: Identifying obstacles or roadblocks to solving complex problems or assignments; giving students opportunities to learn from one another
How to: Divide students into small groups. One student in each group has two minutes to explain the obstacle he/she has encountered. During this time no one is allowed to interrupt with comments or questions. Then each of the other group members has two minutes to share ideas about possible solutions. After the first person's problem has been discussed, another student can go next, and then another, repeating the same process until each student has had time to discuss their obstacles (time permitting).
What is it? Small groups of students work on different aspects of one problem, then present their findings in a logical sequence.
Good for: Allowing students to become "experts" in subtopics; giving students opportunities to learn from one another; letting students get up and moving about
How to: Break students into small groups. Each group is tasked with solving some aspect of one problem or prompt. After working on the assigned matter, each group takes turns explaining their piece of the puzzle. Note: if there is a large whiteboard, each group can have its own space to report their work.
Speed dating
What is it? Pairs of students share ideas with one another in quick succession.
Good for: Introductions and icebreakers; receiving feedback on new ideas; helping students identify partners or teams for group projects
How to: Give students a list of questions or prompts--either ahead of time or during class--to respond to (e.g., "What is your topic?", "What is your research question?", etc.). Then divide the class into pairs and have them stand facing one another. In 3 minute rounds, students share their responses and their "date" gives suggestions and/or feedback. One member of each pair will stay in place while the other members circulate down the line until each set of pairs have spoken with one another.
Discussion leaders
What is it? Prior to class, students prepare quotes, questions, and insights from the course readings in order to lead a discussion.
Good for: Allowing students to become "experts" in subtopics, motivating students to come to class prepared; receiving feedback on students' reading comprehension; teaching students how to ask good questions; giving students opportunities to learn from one another
How to: Give students an idea of about how long they can expect to facilitate a discussion in class. Each student should prepare to lead a discussion by 1) preparing at least two quotes from the reading they want to discuss in more detail 2) preparing two questions for class discussion and 3) offer two implications for the course. The quotes students select could represent central points from the piece, aspects of the article they found confusing and want to discuss more, or provocative statements they'd like to hear others' take on. Then during class, randomly select a student or two to lead discussion.

These were great. The only place I've had a better crepe is in Paris. Service is fast and friendly and it fits into the LES atmosphere. Seating is nearly non-existent so take out is probably your best bet. Once again, good crepes for a decent price.
Posted by Jonathan on 02/05/2006
Creperie has the best tasting crepes in NYC. They have this incredible crepe called the "famous" one with with Nutella. Bananas, and Strawberries that will almost make you lick the plate, since it is so good. If you are in the bars all night and want a late night snack definately go to this tiny little place. When I went last night there was a line out the door and I had to wait about 15 minutes to get a crepe, which I never had before. Truthfully, I would now rather a crepe than a slice of pizza and beer. This French dessert really hits the spot! Recommended to any New Yorker! Zagat should rate this shop.
Posted by Laura on 12/22/2005
Definitely go on the weekends at around 10pm and have yourself a nutella, strawberry, and banana crepe. It is absolutely delicious! The service was friendly, the decor was unique and "fit" in with the lower east side. There are plenty of bars and clubs nearby to go after you have a great crepe. Definitely one of the best Crepe restaurants in New York City!
Posted by Charly on 12/20/2005
Having lived in France, I was happy to find this place and had certain expectation since the staff was clearly from Europe (but not France, soon I found). Well, I have to say I've had better crepes.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/30/2005
The crepes are overpriced and mediocre at best. Service was friendly, it's open late and it's a cute hole in the wall.
Posted by Susan on 09/15/2005
The perfect last stop after a night at the Delancey or Pianos. It's got that hole in the wall charm with great food. I don't know where they find young french students to do the cooking, but it adds to the authentic charm. Definitely worth ruining the diet over.
Posted by Dana on 07/01/2005
A few months ago I ordered the strawberries and nutella crepe. It was amazing. The service was great, as well as the employees who are extremely enthusiastic to pleasing their customers. I recommend this place. Go now and get your crepes from HAVA!

Choosing the right cloud infrastructure is relative
While walking around claiming that cloud is gaining momentum is accurate, the fact of the matter is that companies are embracing different types of cloud technologies. When the cloud first emerged, pundits and corporate decision-makers believed Software as a Service was where the industry was heading. More recently, however, experts began to realize that implementing a cloud infrastructure was more reliable and cost effective.
A recent Enterprise Irregulars report highlighted this notion, stating that Platform and Infrastructure as a Service models are quickly gaining momentum in the workplace. Yet choosing to implement a private or public cloud infrastructure can also be a tricky decision, as both offerings have their benefits and setbacks.
In many cases, organizations opt for the public version because executives believe that it keeps costs low. While this is accurate, it does not necessarily hold true for the long run, as maintaining extensive solutions in a public cloud infrastructure for a long time will often drive costs up. Conversely, the private cloud is more expensive upfront but provides executives with complete control over their cloud resources and will be more cost effective in the long run.
A recent study by eWeek found that approximately 36 percent of businesses are using the private cloud, with another 29 percent are planning to use the technologies in the coming years. This suggests that many decision-makers recognize and are capitalizing on the benefits associated with managing their own cloud infrastructure.
Conversely, a separate report by IDC revealed that worldwide spending on public cloud services is forecast to expand at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 22 percent through 2016, eventually reaching $12.2 billion. These predictions demonstrate that a large chunk of the business world is still interested in the public model, likely due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the global economy.
While these two studies suggest that businesses are taking various approaches to the cloud, together they show that the cloud is becoming a top priority for most organizations, regardless of which model executives find more appropriate to support their operations. Although some may find managing a private cloud infrastructure is more beneficial to them, smaller firms may appreciate the outsourced responsibilities of the public cloud more advantageous. For this reason, decision-makers need to take the time to assess every cloud option, weigh the pros and cons and select the technology that best aligns with their long-term objectives.

TICONDEROGA - North Country students are preparing to compete in North Country History Day on March 13 at Fort Ticonderoga.
Twenty-nine students from five regional schools will compete for the chance to advance to New York State History Day, held in Cooperstown April 30. Portions of the competition are open to the public; public hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Students from Ticonderoga Middle School, St. Mary's School in Ticonderoga and Moriah Central School will participate.
"This is the second year Fort Ticonderoga has coordinated the North Country contest for New York State History Day," said Rich Strum, director of Interpretation & Education at the Fort. "We have twice as many students participating this year as last, and there's growing interest from other schools to participate next year."
Gifts from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Ticonderoga and Champlain National Bank help support North Country History Day.
Students compete in two divisions: Junior Division (grades 6-8) and Senior Division (grades 9-12). They may partner with classmates or create a project on their own in one of several categories: historical papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries, and websites. The variety of formats helps to include those that may feel daunted by a conventional report.
Each project must relate to an annual theme selected by National History Day. This year's theme is "Innovation in History: Impact and Change."
Projects are judged based on historical quality, relation to the annual theme, and clarity of presentation. Fifteen educators, museum professionals, and community members will serve as judges for the contest.
Last year's theme was "The Individual in History." Projects covered a wide variety of historical people, from Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci to Bob Fosse and Oscar Schindler. Students submitted artwork, papers, films and poster presentations.
All History Day events take place in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center at the fort. Guests may also visit the fort's temporary exhibition "The Face of War: Triumph & Tragedy at Ticonderoga, 1758 & 1759" which will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Four-try Monahan puts Gloucester on brink of European quarter-final
Posted: December 15, 2012|
TWO tries in the final five minutes of the first-half turned this game totally in Gloucester's favour.
Just as the hosts were beginning to labour without reward, up popped fearsome strike-running wing Shane Monahan.
All Black scrum-half Jimmy Cowan drifted off a left-wing ruck, delayed the pass – and Irish barnstormer Monahan blasted through the line, arced out left and outgunned Tom Homer into the corner.
Moments later, Irish dropped a restart short and wide, hoping to catch Gloucester out.
Instead Tongan brute Sione Kalamafoni collected, spun out of the tackle, raced down the left flank – drew last man Homer, and sent Monahan cantering home.
Gloucester boss Davies admitted it was a quickfire salvo that totally broke the London Irish spirit and resistance.
"The first 20 minutes was a real arm wrestle as you would always expect," explained the Cherry and Whites rugby director.
"We didn't always play in the right areas of the field in that opening sequence, because we tried at times to force things too much from deep.
"But once we settled we started to gain reward, we managed territory a little better – and in the second-half eventually once we got through one phase in their half, we scored."
After the turnaround Gloucester cut loose and floored Irish, seeing them off for the second time in as many weeks.
Monahan plundered his third and fourth tries, and Rob Cook and Dan Robson got in on the act too.
After last week's 29-22 victory over the Exiles, this six-try hammering leaves Gloucester in near total control of Amlin Challenge Cup pool one.
See off Mont de Marsan and Bordeaux after the turn of the year, and the Kingsholm men can look forward to a home quarter-final – and Davies was in no mood to disagree.
"That's a huge result, a huge statement and it maintains the momentum we've got going into a very crucial festive period," he conceded.
Irish could only muster one penalty from Homer's two first-half shots at goal.
It was a woeful afternoon from the struggling Reading men, who still cannot get to grips with Shaun Edwards' new defensive system.
After the break full-back Cook countered from a poor clearance – and punished an even poorer kick chase, to bisect the dog-legged defence and race under the posts.
Not even a yellow card to Will James for a professional foul at a ruck could halt the Gloucester charge.
The Cherry and Whites were totally dominant at the scrum from the start, and as events unfolded at the breakdown too.
Monahan's hat-trick try came after a marauding break from Charlie Sharples, who arced off his wing to race from one 22 to the other.
Gloucester recycled at pace, and Monahan went in at the corner.
That was the bonus-point score on the hour, and Irish simply had no answer.
A fine wide pass from Burns set Molenaar away in the Irish 22, and from the ruck Monahan popped up for try number four.
Irish made some attempt at a rally, but the error-strewn visitors were unable to convert several half-chances.
As time wore down Jim Hamilton sauntered to halfway in the 13 channel, Nick Wood cut up the middle and drew the defence – and sent half-back Robson jinking home for the final score.
So Gloucester take charge of their European situation then – and now for the testing Christmas run.
Neither Exeter at Kingsholm nor Leicester at Welford Road will be anything other than total wars of attrition.

How are you guys liking the demo so far? As a Bears fan, I'm used to inept Offensive Coordinators and crummy playbooks, so getting a look at the 4 playbooks these teams offer is great. The 49ers playbook might be lethal with it's power running formations and balanced Shotgun looks. And that Power I with a DT in at Fullback is sweet!
Really excited for the game this year. I've played as each team going 3-1 on All-Pro. So to lose to the CPU and it not feel cheap is pretty spectacular.

"Small but lovely, clean site. we booked early as only…"
Small but lovely, clean site. we booked early as only a few pitches with electricity in the rally field. Free hot showers and although site busy not packed out. Small on site shop and pub in a walkable distance. Nice play round in the centre of the site and rally field great for the kids to run around and play ball games.
The location was just right too with all Whitby, Scarborough, and Bridlington not too far away. Steam train at Pickering was nice - my son thought he was off to Hogwarts! Will go back but will book early - great vlaue at 5 nights for under 100 with electricity.Read moreLess
