Is it, generally speaking, safe to carry large amounts of cash (US$4000) in Japan?
Generally speaking, yes. However the same common-sense rules apply everywhere. Don't leave it alone in a bag somewhere, don't flash it about, etc. The only time I had anything stolen was my bag, in an ex-pat bar in Roppongi. Says a lot.
More: Japan is still a rather cash-based society given how early and frequently banks close, and I found that my UK bank card would only work in post office cash machines. Basically post-5pm you'll struggle to get cash. This particularly applies to anywhere rural or villages / small towns - part of the reason for this is Japan still has a very large percentage of small / family businesses (much higher than the US / UK), and if it's anything like the UK the cost of processing card payments is far too high for small-value purchases. Of course in large chains and cities this is much less of a problem. As such, people tend to carry around larger quantities of cash than in other countries... though $4000 is quite a lot!
EDIT I should add 7/11 convenience stores seem to accept many foreign-issued cards. I live in Japan but get paid in Pounds Sterling, and usually withdraw it there. Of course any foreign transaction fees will be applied by your bank. Best to check the terms and conditions of your account.
Japan has ATMs, but couple of things to know
Now, in Japan Banks will shutdown ATMs during some public holidays (May and September mostly).
I would recommend taking 2 ATM cards, one always in one of your pockets, the other one in your backpack. Japan is pretty safe, in case you lose anything, report it to the Police (Koban) immediately, they usually find wallets within 1 to 2 weeks. Have a safe trip.
Even if you weren't worried about crime, you'd need to watch out for accidentally losing it.
Japan does have ATMs. Were you asking because you were planning to take in all the cash you needed for your trip?
The largest denomination of Japanese yen (actually pronounced "en") is 10000, lately worth around US$127. In other words, you'd still be carrying around a bunch of those, even if you converted half of your funds into yen.

One in four deaths in America. 600,000 deaths each year. The number one killer in the country. Do you know what it is?
It's heart disease, and February is the month we hope to raise awareness and learn how to our risk of disease. The good news (well, from a food-blogger's perspective) is that diet is one of the major ways we either help or hurt our hearts. So I've pulled together a week's worth of recipes that feature foods rich in fiber, phytonutrients, healthy fats and more, to help keep hearts in tick-tock shape.
Chocolate (the darker, the better). It's not for nothing that chocolate and heart-themed Valentine's Day are paired up in our collective consciousness. Full of heart-friendly flavonoids, chocolate can help control blood pressure if you eat the high-cocoa content stuff (70% or more) regularly. And if you try it in my chocolate veggie enchilada recipe, you'll also get some healthy fats from avocado and a good dose of vegetables.
Nuts. Your heart goes nuts for the mono- and polyunsaturated fats and phytosterols in foods like walnuts and almonds. And the little buggers are tasty, too, especially when ground up into creamy nut butters like the simple maple walnut butter from Eating Well With Janel.
Legumes. Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you… reduce your risk of heart disease! Yeah, my version isn't as melodic (or amusing to first-graders), but it casts these fiber-rich, vitamin-packed legumes as the nutritional powerhouses they are. Give lentils a while in my curried lentil shepherd's pie, or check out Bean Week for more recipes.
Berries. Blueberries, cranberries, cherries, elderberries, and more – they're all packed with phytonutrients (flavonoids, carotenoids, polyphenols) that have been shown to promote cardiovascular health with regular consumption. Work them in easily as a snack or dessert with Cooking Light's blueberry orange yogurt parfait.
Green vegetables. Well, duh, green vegetables are healthy for you. But foods like broccoli, spinach and others are especially good for the ol' ticker because they're rich in carotenoids, fiber, and potassium, among other nutrients. Epicurious has a simple, colorful side-dish recipe for chard with pine nuts and golden raisins that can ease anyone into the green-vegetable habit.
Orange vegetables. Carotenoids give foods like carrots, acorn squash, and sweet potatoes their lovely orange hue, and contribute to their associated with lower risk of heart disease. So orange you glad there's a recipe like carrot "pasta" with kale parsley pesto from Betacyanin?
Fatty fish, flaxseeds, and other omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods. There's some confusion about unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids' role in heart health, because supplementation hasn't conclusively been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease. But there's ample evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3s does reduce your risk. So if you put down the pill bottle, pick up your fork (or spoon) and try adding fatty fish, nuts and seeds, and other good food sources to your diet. Cooking Light has a pan-seared salmon with jalapeno-pineapple relish recipe that sounds great for fish eaters, and veg-heads like me might want to throw some flaxseeds on their yogurt or into a bowl of oatmeal.

The training wheels are barely off BlackBerry 10, the operating system and last hope of Research In Motion, and already the vultures are circling again among a wave of bad news and dead air. The company unveiled sad sales numbers following the launch of its Q10 and Z10 phones and has now revealed that a promised BlackBerry 10 update for its Playbook tablet has been shelved, leaving the adopters of the device twisting in the wind.
The news began with the revelation that BlackBerry shipped only 2.7 million BlackBerry 10 equipped devices. While the company did move 6.8 million total phones, it's troubling to think that for all the razzle dazzle of the BB10 unveil, that only 40% of their sales revolved around their new devices. With the being said, that has been the moral of the story with BlackBerry over the last couple years. Sure, they keep trying, but for whatever reason the excitement just doesn't carry over into sales. The buzz is never there for BlackBerry
In the shadows of those numbers, the news creeped out that BlackBerry had decided to pull the plug on its first and only tablet, the Playbook. BlackBerry called the audible some time after BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins declared that tablets were obsolete. BlackBerry committed a cardinal sin with this announcement. BlackBerry, a company which depends on a niche, betrayed that sliver of the market after blowing its promise to support its now abandoned tablet with its new operating system.
The fact of the matter is this. BlackBerry is going to fail if it doesn't find a way to excite both its existing customers and potential new users. Its troubling numbers and broken promises are leading BlackBerry down a path it nearly road-tripped down in the past. The road to ruin is a slippery slope, and you don't usually get a second chance.

Women who are trying to conceive
Women ages 18-44 without a history of fertility problems who are in a stable relationship with a male partner who have regular access to the Internet and have been trying to conceive <3 months.
Detailed Description:
There is a dearth of knowledge regarding the role that preconception health plays in fertility and early pregnancy loss. Classical methods of conducting prospective pregnancy studies with preconception enrollment to answer these questions are time-consuming in terms of recruitment efforts and expensive to carry out. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of conducting an Internet-based prospective pregnancy study with preconception enrollment in the United States using the gold standard data collection approach of daily diaries during the trying to conceive period. We will accomplish this by enrolling 200 females of reproductive age who attempting to conceive and following them for up to 12 months and through pregnancy for those who become pregnant. Feasibility will be assessed by measuring: the number of women who screen eligible, the number of women who enroll, and compliance with journal use over time. We will also estimate the incidence of infertility, pregnancy and pregnancy loss as well as compare the demographics of women who enroll to the demographics of women who participate in community-based prospective pregnancy studies with preconception enrollment. The data from this project will be used to assess the feasibility of launching a larger prospective pregnancy study that is appropriately powered to examine the impact of preconceptional lifestyle factors on the incidence of infertility and early pregnancy loss.

Ike Davis & Jon Niese on BA's All-Rookie Team
Ike Davis and Jon Niese were named to the 17-player All-Rookie Team by Baseball America, which describes Davis as having 25- to 30 home run potential, and Niese as having a 'bright future.'
The comparison this off season is going to be Davis and Prince Fielder, because there will be a debate this winter whether to trade Ike for Prince. Not that I think this will or can happen. I'm just saying, inevitably, it will be debated… you can count on it.
There is no question that I'd rather have Davis and Niese, and five or six years of each under team control, and the financial flexibility to sign other needed players, than have Fielder, with two years left on his contract, looking to eventually test free agency and get a $100 million deal.
Davis is far superior in the field than Fielder, he'll hit five or so less home runs, he'll have less walks but also less strike outs, and he'll show a lot more athleticism, youth and give you more money to spend on other positions… not to mention, it will cost additional young talent to get Fielder here in the first place.

Liver Transplant
Published On 01/23/2013
Patients come from across America to receive a liver transplant at the Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2011, our program was ranked the 4th largest liver transplant program in the country for volume and outcomes.
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure performed to replace a diseased liver with a healthy liver from a deceased donor. In 2009, Apple CEO Steve Jobs received a liver transplant at the Transplant Institute.
A liver transplant is recommended for individuals who have serious liver dysfunction and will not be able to live without having the liver replaced. Our surgeons perform life-saving liver transplants for patients with the following diseases:
- Cirrhosis
- Acute hepatic necrosis
- Biliary atresia
- Metabolic disease
- Liver cancers
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Liver damage from overdose of medications toxic to the liver

Okay - You have decided to install Linux and you want to know how to set up the hard drive. This PET will cover installing Linux stand alone or having Linux share a hard drive(s) with other operating systems. Like trying many new things getting over the fear is 90 % of the battle. But if you take this one bit of advice you can set up your hard drive with out worry of loosing any data: BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE FIRST.
In order to do this we need to set up partitions, the tool I like to use for this is fdisk Whats a partiton?? A partition is a section of the hard drive which is indepentdent of other areas of the hard drive.
Why all of this partitioning stuff?? If your are reading this then odds are you have tried automatic partitioning and something went horribly wrong.
Why should I use fdisk?? Because it is a tried and true way of setting up you hard drive and you will be able to see how the hard drive is set up which is very useful in diagnosing problems.
Alrighty! With that out of the way of the way we can manipulate the drives all we want because there is no fear of losing any data. There are quite a few ways to do this and to cover all of them would make this document longer than I would like. Here a few tools which are available
Ranish Partition Manager Web site: http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/This is free and I have heard good things about this partition manager. This runs under windows and can resize FAT16 and FAT32 partitions. Get version 2.4.0. There is even a simulated version which helps one get familiar with the tool before actually committing any changes. This runs under a DOS shell.
FIPS Web site: http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/This is also a free utility for for resizing partitions. Be sure to use version 2.0 for FAT32 support. This has been around for years and is included with many distributions. It is released under GNU public license. Red Hat includes this in the directory dosutils and also runs under a DOS shell.
Partition Magic Web Site: http://www.powerquest.com/ This is a commercial release which Mandrake has included with some of its releases. It has support for quite a few different partition types and is reported to be easy to use. This is listed for $69.95 at the Power Quest Web site and there is a demo available.
Assumptions: You are using Linux on a x86 platform (Intel, AMD, or Cyrix processor) and you are installing Linux on the first hard drive of you computer and this is an IDE hard drive. While this PET should work just fine with SCSI I have much more experience with IDE. The other operating systems I have dual booted with are Microsoft DOS 6.0, Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98.
You are using Linux with another operating systemThe majority of users probably fall into this category for one reason or another. First lets get familiar with the partitions which are going to be needed. This will include a partition for the other operating system and at least two partitions for Linux, one for a swap partition and the other for everything else. Many people (myself included) have more than one partition to be used by Linux, but in the interest of keeping this PET as clear as possible I will only write about using one partition for data and programs. Here are the partitions which will be needed.
The extended the rest of the drive is where both of the Linux partitions will reside. These can all be created with Linux fdisk. If you have chosen to resize you partions then windows is already installed. We are now ready to use the Linux fdisk command, distributions I have used have all had the option to use fdisk at boot up. RedHat has the a small box in the upper right hand corner which says use fdisk or a check box which says manually partition with fdisk (experts only) for the GUI installer and Debian will ask if you would like to prepare you disk and will use fdisk to do this. Please check out your distributions method of accessing fdisk, although odds are it will be available durring installation. Okay now pop that Linux CD in, boot from it and start fdisk when you get a chance too. First lets see what partitions are there, use linux fdisk to check which partitions are there. This is done with the p command. Here is the output from a typical hard drive:Code:Partition Type Microsoft Designation /dev/hda1 vfat/fat32 (type b) C:\ /dev/hda4 Extended (type 5) Extended partition - no drive letter /dev/hda5 swap (type 82, Linux swap file) none /dev/hda6 ext2 (type 83, Linux file system) none
fdisk tells us that on this drive has 255 heads, 63 sectors and 2096 cylinders, it is the number of cylinders which are of concern to us. We see that there is one partition and it is for Windows 95 and set up for fat32. It starts at cylinder 1 and ends at cylinder 702, this means we can create out extended partition starting at cylinder 703 and end it at cylinder 2096. This is done with the n command with in fdisk. It will ask which number, what type logical or extended, the start cylinder, and the end cylinder. The number should be four, then choose extended for the type. Now we need to create logical partitions for Linux within the extended partitions. Create these, again we use the n command. fdisk will ask if this is to be a logical or primary partition, choose logical, and then select 5, this will create /dev/hda5 which will be out swap partition. next we select how large it is supposed to be, a pretty safe number is 64M , here you can enter +64M. This is much easier than attempting to determine how many megabytes are per cylinder. Now we need to set this to type swap, hit t and then enter 82, you can hit L to list all of the partition types which are supported by Linux.Code:Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2096 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 702 5638783+ b Win95 FAT32
Finally we will create the last partition, /dev/hda6. Again we hit n ,select a logical partition and then the number 6. It asks us the start cylinder and the last cylinder, here the defaults can be selected. It will be the next unused cylinder and the last cylinder. Now lets type p to make sure it looks good. If there is any problem you can delete the problem and recreate it or simply quit fdiskby hitting the q key. [i]Writes to the partition table will *only* happen after the w command is entered while in fdisk. Both commands will exit fdisk. Here is a list of commands which are available in fdisk:
After the partitions are created then install away and just follow the instructions.Code:Command Action a toggle a bootable flag b edit bsd disklabel c toggle the dos compatibility flag d delete a partition l list known partition types m print this menu n add a new partition o create a new empty DOS partition table p print the partition table q quit without saving changes s create a new empty Sun disklabel t change a partition's system id u change display/entry units v verify the partition table w write table to disk and exit x extra functionality (experts only)

The Clippers add Jason Williams:
The Los Angeles Clippers made arrangements Thursday to bring in yet another new player by reaching terms with free-agent point guard Jason Williams. Williams' agent, Bob Myers, told ESPN.com that the 32-year-old -- who spent the past three seasons with the Miami Heat and who started at point guard for Miami's title-winning team in 2006 -- has signed with the Clippers.
Financial terms were not immediately available, but NBA front-office sources said Williams is receiving a one-year contract.
Williams will thus become the ninth new player acquired by the Clippers in the wake of a disastrous 23-59 season, which was followed by Elton Brand's free-agent defection to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Los Angeles native Baron Davis headlines the group of newcomers, which also includes center Marcus Camby, Williams' former Miami teammate Ricky Davis, first-round draft pick Eric Gordon, veteran forward Brian Skinner and sharpshooter Steve Novak, whom L.A. landed Wednesday in a trade with the Houston Rockets.
Williams is the third point guard to join the Clippers this summer, along with Davis and Jason Hart, who was acquired from the Utah Jazz in a July 23 trade for Brevin Knight.
The addition of Williams -- who recently attracted serious interest from Israeli giants Maccabi Tel-Aviv before Maccabi signed Orlando Magic free agent Carlos Arroyo -- all but ensures that the Clippers will not re-sign point guard Shaun Livingston. L.A. renounced its free-agent rights to the injury-plagued Livingston on July 9 to help create the requisite salary-cap space to officially sign Davis to his five-year, $65 million contract but the Clippers did have the option of trying to re-sign him.
As the report indicates, this effectively ends Shaun Livingston's career as a Clipper.
Not sure what this means, other than the Clippers have determined after years of Brunson, Parker, et al, that you can never have too many point guards. Williams hasn't been effective for a few seasons now. Last year with Miami, he shot below 40% from the field, and hasn't averaged more than two FTA/G since his second year in the league. He's an awful defender, and one of the worst rebounders in the game. But as sentient beings go, he's a better option than Smush Parker -- his turover and assist rates confirm that.
UPDATE: From Lonnie White's report in Friday morning's LAT:
Livingston, who did not receive a qualifying offer from the Clippers after the season, recently turned down a reported one-year guaranteed deal from the team.
"At this point and time, we had to move on," Baylor said about re-signing Livingston. "Shaun is not ready to make a commitment."

7-Inch Tablets Gobbling Up Market Share
Seven-inch tablets are rapidly gaining favor with consumers, and that could put Apple in a pickle. Its 10-inch iPad is currently the leader in the tablet segment, hands down. However, if Apple debuts a smaller version to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7, as expected, the result could be cannibalization of its larger, more expensive, and presumably more profitable model.
Sep 18, 2012 11:39 AM PT
The media tablet market is poised for robust growth -- driven in large part by the emerging 7.x-inch form factor, according to new figures from IHS iSuppli.
Tablet shipments will reach 126.6 million units this year, the firm predicted, which amounts to a 56 percent annual increase.
The largest portion of the market is the 9.x-inch segment, iSuppli said. However, the 7.x-inch tablet could wind up eroding a significant share of the 9.x-inch tablet market.
iSuppli is not the only one tracking this trend.
"We have seen very strong growth in the 7-inch-sized tablet, and it is a trend that we think is very important to the industry," IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell told the E-Commerce Times.
It is still smaller as a percentage of the total market, but it is clearly the fastest-growing segment, he said. "Will it become the dominant size in the tablet market? No, we don't think so -- but we do believe it will get very close."
Gaining Fast
For the moment, the 9.x-inch tablet market is the dominant one by far. Currently, approximately 74.3 million units, or 59 percent of all tablet display panel shipments are expected to be 9.x-inch models, iSuppli said. These tablet shipments are forecast to rise 35 percent this year, from 55.2 million units in 2011.
But the 7.x-inch tablet market is gaining fast. Shipments will amount to 41.1 million units this year, nearly double from 20.8 million units in 2011. Put another way, the 7.x-inch category will control 32 percent of the tablet display space this year, compared with 26 percent last year.
Giving Up Market Share
Already, the 9.x-inch sector is giving up some market share in the face of growth this year, iSuppli said. The trend will accelerate as more of the lower-priced, smaller tablets come to market, including a widely anticipated 7.x-inch tablet from Apple.
There are, in fact, a lot of drivers behind the growth of the 7.x-inch tablet's share, with Apple's expected entry just one factor, Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times.
The 7.x-inch tablet hits a sweet spot for a lot of consumers, he said: It is small enough that it doesn't turn into a substitute for a laptop, which means it is easy to toss into a briefcase or purse. But it is larger than a smartphone and thus more attractive as a media consumption device.
"The 9-inch and 10-inch tablets are large enough that most people will make a choice to leave it or a laptop behind because it is too much to carry," King pointed out.
Apple's Problem
This dynamic will be a tricky one for Apple to navigate when it launches its 7-inch tablet, King continued.
"One of the reasons why the iPad was so successful was that the company was careful to make sure it did not overlap or erode sales of its standard Mac notebooks," he said. It was able to do that by keeping the operating systems and app ecosystems of the respective products entirely separate.
The question is, will Apple be able to keep its 7-inch tablet from cannibalizing the 10-inch? "It is a real danger, and it may be the reason why Apple has been resisting a smaller tablet," speculated King. "It is leery of putting out a similar device which is less money than the traditional iPad but still a better user experience than the iPhone."
IHS iSuppli did not respond to our request for further details.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team dropped a hard-fought decision to UNCW, 61-52, on Tuesday night at Kaplan Arena. The College built a 14-point second half advantage but the Seahawks rallied for the victory. The loss drops the Tribe to 2-11 on the season and 0-2 in CAA play, while UNCW improves to 2-11 on the year and 1-1 in league competition.
Senior Emily Correal led the Green and Gold with 12 points and eight rebounds. Classmate Janine Aldridge also netted 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point range. Senior Jaclyn McKenna finished the evening with nine points, while junior Kaitlyn Mathieu chipped in with six points.
The Tribe finished the night shooting 21-of-51 (41.2 percent) from the field, while it netted five 3-pointers on 14 attempts. Defensively, W&M forced 27 Seahawk turnovers, which turned into 22 Tribe points. For the night, the College held the advantage in points in the paint (32-22), while it shot 5-of-8 (62.5 percent) from the free throw line.
UNCW got off to a fast start, scoring the night's first 12 points as Jessica Freeman's free throw capped the opening run at the 16:41 mark. The College answered with a 17-4 run over the next 9:28 as it took its first lead of the night, 17-16. Aldridge ignited the outburst with a trifecta at the 16:35 mark, while McKenna gave the College the upper hand with a lay up at the 7:13 juncture.
For the remainder of the half, both squads traded buckets, but it was the College who took a 23-22 lead at intermission after a Correal lay up at the 1:38 mark.
In second half action, the College stormed out of the gates on a 10-2 run as it pushed its lead to 33-24 with 16:24 left to play. Another Aldridge 3-pointer got the surge going, while sophomore Kyla Kerstetter's coast-to-coast lay up closed the run. With 14:00 remaining in the contest, Aldridge's fourth 3-pointer of the night pushed the W&M margin to 40-26.
However, the Seahawks responded with a run of their own, as it regained the advantage, 49-48, with 5:09 left in regulation. Sophomore Anna Kestler's lay up through traffic at the 2:40 mark broke a 50-50 tie as W&M went ahead by two. UNCW regained the lead on its next possession with a 3-pointer as it went on to score the night's final 11 points en route to the win.
Tawanna Lee led UNCW with 16 points, while Kelva Atkins chipped in with 15. The Seahawks finished the night shooting 48.9 percent (23-of-47) from the field and 56.3 percent (9-of-16) from 3-point territory.
The Tribe continues CAA play with a trip to Northeastern on Thursday, Jan. 10. Tip-off from Boston, Mass., is slated for 7 p.m.

Peter Carlson has graduated with his B.F.A. in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design in May 2011 and is currently living in his studio/home located in Downtown Sarasota. Peter specializes in Figurative Art, with a particular focus on Traditional Drawing. Peter also has extensive digital illustration, animation, hand drawn typography, web design and paper craft experience that he demonstrates in his personal and freelance work.
From a young age he has been interested in painting and drawing, inventing imaginary figures, landscapes, and other compositions in whatever media was available. When he reached the age of seventeen he received a scholarship to the Maryland Institute College of Art Summer Pre College program. This program influenced him greatly and eventually led him to pursue his passion as an Illustrator.
While attending Ringling he developed his familiarity with the human form. At the same time he began to study the old masters extensively, copying many master drawings and paintings in an attempt to absorb some of the spirit of their work, as well as more specific technical lessons to be gained from these artists. During his time at the Ringling he exhibited his work in multiple Illustration competitions juried by world renowned artists including: Andrew Hem, Greg Manchess, Irene Gallo and more.
Peter has a great appreciation for highly realist painting as well as more loose expressive gestural work. He enjoys the challenge of accurate drawing, as well as the beautiful transparent qualities of paint and spontaneous brushwork. He has been influenced by many different painters and techniques, and the qualities of color, drawing, and surface in his paintings reflect artists from Phil Hale, to Alan E. Cober, to Bernie Fuchs. Peter loves to share and communicate new ideas and techniques in his never ending journey as an artist.

|Woman Flips SUV Off of US 321
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 03 June 2013 15:33
A busy afternoon for emergency services here, with a fire in Blowing Rock and a wreck on a busy stretch of US 321. The wreck was apparently spectacular to see, but was fortunate to have not caused serious injury. A Lincoln SUV ran off 321 approaching the Boone town limits at about 2:45, a woman
reporting that she saw the incident unfold, and said the woman crossed the on-coming lanes, flipped over a guardrail, and landed well off the road, the SUV hung in the trees. A woman was pulled from the wreckage of the SUV with few, if any, injuries, and taken into custody. The state patrol is investigating.

Mobile phone giants HTC and Samsung ended last week on a rough note, falling short of sales expectations. HTC, in particular, was hit hard by a 83% drop in profits from last year, while Samsung, who still banked a cool $8.3 billion, fell short of their goals for this past quarter.
Cutting into both companies profits heavily were larger than usual marketing costs as both companies heavily pushed their flapship phones, the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. Both gadget companies' fortunes now rest on their next wave of phones.
HTC is putting all their eggs in the HTC One Mini basket. The HTC One Mini is a smaller version of the highly-rated HTC One, and will reportedly feature a smaller screen and somewhat slower processor. For fans of the HTC One, don't worry, this phone still features that solid aluminum body that really makes the phone feel excellent in your hands.
Likewise, Samsung is pushing their own miniature device. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini follows the pattern of HTC's mini phone, featuring a smaller screen, and poorer performance to go with a less sophisticated camera.
Both phone companies are betting it all on smaller being better in the next wave of the phone battle. The battle is particularly important for Samsung, who rely on their mobile phone division to bring in up to 70% of their total profits. Samsung is also a world leader in electronic components and other consumer electronics. The company is also looking to up its cash flow to fund five new research centers to boost their Research and Development department. Also, not far down the road is the next phone from electronics giant Apple. Both companies have to have their eyes and ears open to see what the heavyweight smartphone maker has coming down the pipe and how it will effect their bottom line.

More than $2 million is being spent with local vendors in support of the Braidwood Generating Station Unit 2 scheduled refueling and maintenance outage that began at 11 p.m. last night.
Braceville, Illinois - More than $2 million is being spent with local vendors in support of the Braidwood Generating Station Unit 2 scheduled refueling and maintenance outage that began at 11 p.m. last night.
"In these challenging economic times we are fortunate to have companies like Exelon continuing to invest in their Braidwood facility," said John Greuling, Center for Economic Development President & CEO. "Exelon's refueling project is a major win-win for the local labor force, vendors and suppliers and the community as a whole."
During the maintenance outage, workers will perform more than 9,500 inspections and maintenance activities on a variety of plant components and systems. This includes replacing one-third of the reactor's fuel. Many of the activities performed during the maintenance outage cannot be performed while the unit is operating.
To complete the project, the station will employ the talents and expertise of more than 1,600 additional workers – many of whom are from local union halls. Other workers are from nearby Exelon Nuclear sites and specialty vendors who travel to the area for the outage.
"The additional support from our temporary workers and local vendors is a vital part of our overall refueling outage plan," said Braidwood Station Site Vice President Dan Enright. "The work performed during the outage will enhance the station's ability to provide safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity for many years to come."
Braidwood Unit 1 will continue to supply electricity to the area while Unit 2 is offline.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts net at full power - enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Hi Guys,
hope this type of question is ok for this forum...
I am customizing a Joomla extension( RSform PRO) and I need to add a variable to a path.
I need to browse a file directory for specific users.
So for example USER1 has files in this folder: /userupload/user1
I have a form that is now able to pickup the "user1" folder name (which is in fact the "user_id"). And I need to "append" this to the path of the uploaded files.
So I need to add "/user1/" to the "/userupload" path.
Any suggestion? What I have been able to do is to just pass my defined variable using this:
$my = & JFactory::getUser();
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
if ($my->get('id'))
$db->setQuery("SELECT `user_id` FROM `#__briefcasefactory_files` WHERE `user_id`='".$my->get('id')."' LIMIT 1"); // THIS IS THE QUERY TO THE EXTENSION DEALING WITH UPLOADS IN THE USER FOLDER
define("userfolder", "910"); // THIS IS MY "SIMULATION" OF VARIABLE
$items = "|Please Select[c]\n";
$files = JFolder::files($RSadapter->config['absolute_path'].'/slideshow/'.userfolder);
$items .= implode("\n",$files);
return rtrim($items);
the problem is that instead of passing my "userfolder" variable, I should pass the "$db" variable which, after the query is indeed giving me the "folder" name of the user.
Sorry, as you already figured out....I am not a PHP programmer so I guess I am writing silly things!

The demonstrators, who have blocked a key highway connecting Iraq to Syria and Jordan for the past week over the alleged targeting of their Sunni Arab minority by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, threw water bottles, stones and shoes at Mutlak before grabbing and hitting him.

Although President Obama has announced the closure of the Guantanamo Bay camp, it appears that the CIA will still be able to use special techniques in handling terrorist suspects.
The executive order signed by Obama last month does not ban the so called "extraordinary rendition" programs. However, the issue appears to be less controversial than it seems, according to numerous press reports.
They quote an anonymous Obama administration official as saying that the government needs some means "to go after the bad guys."
At the same time, officials are at pains to stress that the administration has created a task force to reexamine the practice, which has drawn fire from many quarters at home and abroad, to make sure that they do not result in detainees being tortured or having their human rights infringed upon.
Tom Malinowski, the Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch told the Chicago Tribune, "Under limited circumstances, there is a legitimate place" for these types of practices provided that there is a system in place to prevent abuses.
The extraordinary rendition practice, authorized by former President George W. Bush, includes provisions for detention and interrogation of terrorist suspects in third countries.
An investigation by the European Parliament, which strongly condemned the practice, found that the CIA had operated more than 1,200 flights in European airspace after 9/11.

It looks like T-Mobile and Garmin-Asus have finally settled on a release date for the much anticipated Garminfone. This new mobile device with a GPS slant will ship in June for $199 on a two year contract. The Garminfone will run its own heavily customized Garmin UI over the Google Nexus One Unlocked Android operating system. In addition to this slick UI the Garminfone will come with a 3 megapixel autofocus cam, microSD expansion that supports up to 32GB, WiFi and full HSPA. The phone will also come bundled with a charging dash/windshield mount.
The Garminfone has been one of the more highly anticipated Unlocked smartphone releases in recent memory. Definitely geared towards the GPS junky the Garminfone also has features that will appeal to anyone looking for a new mobile device. The 3 megapixel camera and microSD expansion up to 32GB are extremely nice touches. While you are using your Garminfone to travel the countryside without getting lost you will be able to take many pictures along the way and store them on your phone to share with friends and family.
One of the best features about the Garminfone is the windshield/dashboard mount that comes with the device. Since this phone is manufactured by a GPS company it would make sense that the GPS function of the phone is its best quality. Since many users will be using this device as a GPS unit it only makes sense that they would want a dashboard or windshield mount to accompany their new GPS unit. Instead of selling the mount separately Garmin is including it with the purchase of the mobile phone to allow their customers to easily use this navigation device while driving in their cars.

CANTON A Waddington man faces up to 16 years in prison after a jury found him guilty Monday of multiple felonies stemming from his rape of a 15-year-old girl last year.
Patrick R. Wright, 31, of Tiernan Road, was found guilty in St. Lawrence County Court of six of the 10 counts he was facing. The jury of seven women and five men found him guilty of third-degree rape, three counts of third-degree criminal sexual act, endangering the welfare of a child and first-degree unlawfully dealing with a child.
Wright was found guilty of having sex with the teenage girl on Feb. 2, 2013. The victim had been alone with Wright at his mothers 169 Tiernan Road home, where the victim testified he gave her 3� vodka-based drinks and smoked six bowls of marijuana with the teen before he had oral sex and intercourse with her.
The jury acquitted Wright of the top count of first-degree rape, as well as three counts of first-degree criminal sexual act, all class B violent felonies, and all indicators of forcible sex acts. The charges on which Wright was found guilty were all related to the age of the victim.
Had Wright been found guilty on all charges, he would have been facing a maximum of 116 years in prison.
Wright was sent to St. Lawrence County jail without bail by Judge Jerome J. Richards. Sentencing is set for April 21.
Following the verdict, the now 16-year-old victim and her mother said while they were satisfied with the jurys decision, they would have liked to have seen Wright receive guilty verdicts on the charges of forcible rape.
Im satisfied, though, because now he has to register as a sex offender and he will be going to prison, the teen said.
She said she was thankful for the support she had received from District Attorney Mary E. Rain.
She did an awesome job and was really supportive throughout the trial, the teen said.
Her mother said the family had been in the dark leading up to the trial, but once they began dealing with Ms. Rain, they were continually informed of proceedings.
Hopefully now we can start to rebuild, her mother said.
In a statement, Ms. Rain said she respected the jurys verdict.
I only wish that somehow the sentence could ease the victims pain, yet understand that this is something this child will have to carry the rest of her life, Ms. Rain said. It is my sincerest hope that he receives an appropriate sentence for these crimes.
Defense attorney Denise Smith said the age-based charges Wright was found guilty of were brought into question during testimony.
Its an appealable issue, Ms. Smith said. We heard her age in court, but there was no testimony or evidence of her date of birth.
Ms. Smith said she will be seeking a concurrent sentence for Wright.

MORRISTOWN State police are seeking the publics help locating the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed a 19-year-old Lancaster man on County Route 6 on Sunday night.
The suspected vehicle, a Honda CRV with its windshield shattered and damage to its passenger side hood, was discovered Monday on Mansion Avenue in Ogdensburg. The car was reported stolen from a store in Edwardsville about an hour after the accident occurred.
Troopers said the accident occurred at 8:58 p.m. Sunday in the vicinity of 3320 County Route 6. Struck was pedestrian Benjamin M. Schick, 19, of Lancaster, who had been walking on the side of the road with John A. Robinson, 19, also of Lancaster. State police Lieutenant John R. Coryea said the two were staying at a nearby camp owned by Mr. Robinsons family.
Mr. Robinson, who was not injured, described the car that struck his friend as a dark-colored SUV that left the scene. The vehicle was traveling toward Ogdensburg, and the two were walking in the same direction. He told state police the car continued toward the city after it struck Mr. Schick.
It is presumed that he was hit from behind, Lt. Coryea said. We have to wait for the autopsy to determine that for sure.
Mr. Schick was transported to Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg and pronounced dead by Dr. Florentino Nilooban. An autopsy was expected to be conducted Monday evening.
Ogdensburg City Police received a report at 10:17 p.m. Sunday that a 2001 Honda CRV, New York registration GDT5129, had been stolen from the parking lot of the Echoes on the Lake convenience store, not far from the accident scene.
City police Lt. Andrew D. Kennedy said since the car was reported stolen from a location outside the city, the caller was referred to state police. He said no incident report about the call or who placed it was filed in the departments blotter. He said all information about the call was turned over to state police.
We assisted them in looking for the vehicle, Lt. Kennedy said.
Lt. Coryea said state police located the car on Mansion Avenue at about 10 a.m. Monday. He said state police are withholding the name of the vehicles owner.
We obviously want to conduct our investigation before we go associating anybodys name with it, he said.
State police accident reconstruction and violent crimes investigation teams assisted, and St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� was notified.
State police are asking anyone with information regarding the accident or the stolen vehicle to call 393-3350 or 379-0012.
Sundays accident was the second fatal car-pedestrian crash in St. Lawrence County since Friday. Edward Remington, 46, of Massena, was struck by a vehicle Friday night while he was crossing East Orvis Street in the village of Massena. He died from his injuries Saturday. The driver of the vehicle which struck him, James A. Berry, Park Avenue, Massena, was jailed on $100,000 bail and charged with second-degree vehicular assault and a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated.

Beached whale's tale captivates Oregon Coast
FLORENCE, Ore. -- A whale first spotted Friday fighting for its life in the surf north of Florence beached itself on Saturday near Heceta Head and the Sea Lion Caves.
Marine biologists studied the whale Sunday for clues to why it died. After initial guesses Friday that the whale was a humpback, biologists revised their opinions and guessed it was a sei whale. Upon further inspection, biologists now believe it is a fin whale.
If you saw the whale and took photos or videos, post them to KVAL.com.
A YouNews reporter helped break the news Saturday that the whale had beached itself.
Here are some still images from KVAL News footage of the scene:
