Vintage aircraft, military jets wowed the crowd
Adrian Cruz, 6, of Port St. Lucie plays with his toy plane as aerobatic planes and military jets soar above him and the thousands who attended the Stuart Air Show at Witham Field on Sunday.
World War II veterans Bill Uphoff (left) of Jupiter and Woody Sproul of Hobe Sound head over to the C-47 that Sproul used to be a radar navigator in the Ninth Air Force of the Army Air Corps while at the Stuart Air Show on Sunday. Uphoff, 94, was a B-17 pilot in the Mighty Eighth Air Force division. The two were part of the Living Legends exhibit which gave people a chance to meet and honor the veterans.

Introductory classes in electronics are big on circuit diagrams involving different combinations of resistors, capacitors and inductors. Now, researchers say that they have discovered a fourth fundamental passive circuit element, one that complements those well-known three and fills in a gap in the basic equations that describe the relationships between voltage, current, and magnetic flux. The possibility of such a circuit element, known as the 'memristor,' was first described in 1971, but until now no one has found a device with the properties of that missing element. A group of scientists at HP Labs found that in nanoscale materials, however, the 'memristance' property becomes easier to see.
The find could lead to lower power, instant-on computers, as well as novel types of circuitry. We'll talk with one of the discoverers of the modern memristor about the find and its potential applications.

Cinegeek: Giorgio Moroder Presents METROPOLIS
|Fritz Lang
|Alfred Abel, Gustav Fröhlich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
In 1984, Academy Award-winning composer Giorgio Moroder (Midnight Express, Flashdance) introduced Fritz Lang's science fiction epic METROPOLIS to a new generation of moviegoers.
Working in collaboration with film archives around the world, he supervised a special reconstruction of the film, with color tinting, fewer inter-titles, and newly restored footage. A pioneer in the field of digital music, Moroder backed this special edition with a throbbing new score, punctuated with pop songs from some of the biggest stars of the early MTV era: Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar, Adam Ant, Bonnie Tyler, Loverboy, Billy Squier, and others.
Unavailable on home video for more than two decades, Kino Classics is now proud to revive the 1984 edition of METROPOLIS, an historic achievement in film restoration, and a dramatic vehicle for the visionary music of Giorgio Moroder.

Japanese telecommunications company Softbank will purchase an ownership stake of 70% in Sprint for $20 billion that includes $8 billion in stock. Softbank is calling their new acquisition "New Sprint."
Sprint is the U.S.'s third-largest mobile carrier behind Verizon and AT&T. The Sprint purchase is the biggest-ever overseas acquisition by a Japanese company. It's the latest consolidation among big players in the U.S. mobile industry. (T-Mobile recently announced their partnership with MetroPCS.)
Softbank's CEO Masayoshi Son stated his case for this being a good partnership for both companies. One big reason is that they are both developing LTE on the same frequency. Combining their efforts will move the process along more quickly and cost less to implement.
If nothing else, Softbank/Sprint will present some big competition for AT&T and Verizon – companies that almost completely own the U.S. telecom market. The technology required to bring the latest phones, national networks and high-speed connectivity to the market is too expensive for all the smaller carriers. As Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO, described it "This is pro-competitive and pro-consumer" because it helps fight the "AT&T and Verizon duopoly."
With some of the Softbank cash infusion, Sprint can focus on improving its unlimited data plan for smartphones. Sprint is the only one of the three that still provides unlimited plans to new customers.
Right now Sprint is also the only major carrier that still offers both the iPhone and an unlimited plan. If Sprint can expand its 4G network to more markets, they will have a very valuable product for consumers.
When the news hit yesterday, it crashed the Sprint website. It's back up now.

About this project
Update #6 - Gameplay Video added
Due to fan request, we just added the video we've been working on for a week to give backers and potential backers an idea of the gameplay and characters in Class of Heroes 2. Enjoy!
Update #1 - New reward tiers added
All Deluxe Packs at $100 or above will receive digital download copy in addition to UMD. Digital supporters at $20 level will receive full digital arranged soundtrack. Check out the updates tab for more information.
What's this project and who is handling it?
This project is by Victor Ireland, who headed up Working Designs before starting Gaijinworks. It's focused on providing a physical Deluxe Pack for Class of Heroes II as well as increasing funding to expand the scope and depth of localization from digital download supporters.
- Meeting the Kickstarter funding will allow:
* A Physical Deluxe Pack to be made
* English Voice Acting in the Digital and Physical releases
* English Opening Song and Video in both releases
* Extended game fixes and features (extra save slots, better controls, etc) for both releases
* Translation and release of Class of Heroes II webcomic series during development
- Exceeding the funding limit by 15% will allow:
* Additional language localizations
* Clear license to retain Japanese audio option
What's in the Deluxe Pack?
* Deluxe blind-embossed box
* Soft faux-leather embossed manual/art book
* Arranged soundtrack CD
* Character Standees
* Game UMD
Three additional items will be voted on by backers from this list:
* Watch
* Pendant
* Cloth map
* Dagger letter opener
* Coin bank
* Inflatible sword
* Pen/pencil set
What Happened to the flow of cool J-RPGs?
The life of a J-RPG fan is not an easy one these days. A seemingly constant web-crawl of news from the East trumpets one cool-sounding Japanese RPG after another. Many of these are on the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, which is extremely popular in Asia. Unfortunately, many of these and other games never make it out of Japan, stamped with a scarlet letter "U" for Unprofitable here, whether or not that's true on a game-by-game basis. Some games' initial releases in the West have had their sequels languish in Japan, waiting for localization that will never come. Many others just never made it at all, condemned to obscurity.
Fan Power Trumps All
But hold on. I started Gaijinworks for these fans. MonkeyPaw Games exists for the love of J-Games as well. We know the fans are there. We feel it…we're fans, too! We know that with the right games, with the right localization, with the right timing, with the right presentation, and the right distribu…well let's not talk ourselves out of this yet. Suffice to say, we think there are enough fans like us out there that want to see more J-RPGs with great localization and presentation. Fans that want their J-RPG experiences to be memorable regardless of the platform. We know that this silenced J-RPG fanbase, under-served and forgotten, isn't thrilled with where things are going. So, now's the time to speak up and get our happy tomorrow.
Enter Kickstarter
Gaijinworks has been working closely with MonkeyPaw Games, laying the groundwork for licenses, expanding relationships with Japanese publishers, and setting up a structure that will allow us to test Kickstarter as a method to, well, kick start the US J-RPG market. Here is the chance to help grow the segment and prove that there is a market for great J-RPG games, regardless of the platform.
Take a Bow
So what's the first project? We've licensed the Class of Heroes™ series from Acquire Corp. We'll start with Class of Heroes II for the PSP® system. The game is a charming take on the Wizardry-style dungeon crawl games with a twist – all the party members are drawn from a pool of newly-enrolled students at a Sword and Sorcery School. The game features 10 classes to choose from: Novice, Fighter, Swordsman, Ranger, Monk, Ninja, Sorcerer, Puppeteer, Idol, and one Mystery Class. Once the party is created, quests are offered and the party can choose their adventure path, unlocking ever more distant and dangerous areas to conquer as they grow in power and confidence. Monster parties can be more than one level deep in a single combat episode, leading to epic encounters of up to 12 or more monsters at a time, where managing a party's ranged and melee skills can be the difference between victorious life and an ignominious death. No dungeon crawler would be complete without an occasional boss, and CoH2 doesn't disappoint there, either, with nail-biting super-encounters littered on the path between your party and ultimate victory.
We're aiming to release all the games in this series, as long as we can end up in the black on each, or maybe even kinda dark grey. You get the point. We don't think it's that hard to do this because we're dedicated to the genre - and we know you're just as dedicated to making a special experience like this happen by supporting our effort to push the industry in the right direction and supply these games digitally and physically to give the fans ultimate choice.
Why Kickstarter, then?
Our wish list of upgrades and features on Class of Heroes II is quite big-boned (some really old-school gamers might call it husky). If you played the only Class of Heroes released here, you know there are a few things we want to upgrade already. Fan Kickstarter support will allow us to make the games even better than they are, adding features like extra saves and better controls, smoothing out the user interface experience, and adding perks. In essence, it will allow us to hit the familiar level of quality we reached at Working Designs. But that's not the thing we're most excited about. It's two new things Kickstarter will make possible.
Our Kickstarter project is designed to allow fans that plan to download it digitally to support the game now, helping it reach the funding threshold and expand the scope and depth of localization for BOTH the digital and physical releases. In return, they get their names encoded into the final product, and those that pledge at the $20 level will also get a Limited Edition Game poster, in essence getting preorder-type swag for a digital download they buy in the future.
Second, this project will allow us to prove that a physical/digital hybrid release can work. Digital download is convenient, but if you're a collector, it's the pits. You know it, I know it. I like the convenience of download, but I still want a physical copy of games I love with cool packaging and real-world extras that make me love the game even more. I think many of you out there want this as well. Prove me right and help make a statement to the industry that can change its course, just like LUNAR: Silver Star Story did for Deluxe Packs.
Right, so about that Deluxe Pack...
We're offering a Physical Deluxe Pack of Class of Heroes II for the PSP® system that will be the craziest Deluxe Pack we've ever done. And if you know our work at Working Designs, that's a pretty high bar already. This will NOT have digital content you download. It will NOT have codes for in-game armor or weapons. It will NOT have a picture flip book passed off as an art book. It will not ship with DLC on the disc you have to pay for again later. It will NOT come in a tin box passed off as Steelbook. It will NOT be what's usually advertised as a Collector's Edition in 2012 - a wimpy, atrophied shadow of what a real Deluxe Pack should be.
It will be an awesome Deluxe Pack with real, collectible, limited, awesome stuff based on the game, including an arranged soundtrack.
We'll be shipping these Deluxe Packs directly to fans, hot off the press. This will be an exclusive, very limited, one-time release. It will not be in stores or anywhere else. Starting at the $59 ($49 for the Deluxe Pack w/$10 shipping) level, you will get one of these Limited Edition Deluxe Packs and some sweet swag perks for supporting this effort. In fact, more swag than we've ever done for one game - more swag than any other console game I know of. This is epic stuff.
With your support, Class of Heroes II on the PSP® system will have a digital and Limited Deluxe Pack release. We chose the PSP® system version as the Deluxe Pack because there was already a PSP® system release of the first game in the series and our goal is to get them all out. So if you're along for the whole ride, you'll eventually have a line of awesome Class of Heroes games on your shelf.
Rewards and Revelations
The rewards for this project top out at $10,000 due to Kickstarter limitations. However, there are two reward levels go beyond that $10k max. They are insanely great for any game fan. Even if you can't afford them, head over to www.gaijinworks.com or www.monkeypawgames.com and just fantasize about what it would be like to get them. It's more access and perks than any US J-Game publisher has offered to the general public - at any price.
We're excited about this project, and grateful Kickstarter has glanced their light across a possible path to the ultimate gamer+publisher relationship. I believe that once our first project is completed it will be a revelation to many in the console gaming industry about what's possible with this model. Join us and help change the future, putting fans back where they belong in the industry - front and center.
Yes. Canada, please add $10 to your pledge to cover the extra costs of shipping this to you. All other locations outside the US, please add $15. Also, please note that for the physical version of the PSP game, you need a PSP capable of playing North American region PSP games.
The Vita has PSP backward compatibility and we are working to insure that the downloadable version of the game works on Vita using this mode on day 1. The physical UMD-based version of Class of Heroes II will not work on Vita, for obvious reasons - no UMD slot. All backers who select reward tier at the $100 level or above will receive a digital download code in addition to the physical UMD in the Deluxe Pack so it's ready to play on Vita right away.
* Deluxe blind-embossed box
* Soft faux-leather embossed manual/art book
* Arranged soundtrack CD
* Character Standees
* Game UMD
Three additional items will be voted on by backers from this list:
* Watch
* Pendant
* Cloth map
* Dagger letter opener
* Coin bank
* Inflatible sword
* Pen/pencil set
ALL the reward levels at $100 or above now include BOTH a physical UMD and a digital download code for the game.
If a Kickstarter project doesn't make the funding goal, no one pays, and the project doesn't happen. There's no risk to you. But, obviously we want to reach the goal, so tell your friends about the project!
Because there are production minimums for the Deluxe Pack components. We set the project to less than 7,000 Deluxe Packs to fund, which is a very small run for a portable console game. We need to hit at least that, or the cost per unit to make them increases quickly. If, for example, we offered digital release packages and we ended up funding with a 50-50 split on digital codes vs deluxe packs, we would actually lose money on the project. It's the same reason you don't see a parallel "regular" PSP box. The market for this project and PSP in general is so small that slicing and dicing it makes it not work.
If we can't get support for less than 7000 Deluxe Packs, there's no way to do it, the project won't fund, and we'll just have a basic localization on Direct Download available and call it a day. I don't want that, and I don't think many people will be satisfied with that once they PLAY Class of Heroes II. Unfortunately all they have to judge on right now is Class of Heroes 1, and CoH II is NOT that game, it's substantially better.
No. The code will not be packed inside the sealed Deluxe Pack, so you can play the download version without having to open the box.

The state legislature of Florida has approved a bill protecting citizens' rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment from being abrogated by a federal government about to launch thousands of drones into the domestic skies. The bill has been sent to the desk of Governor Rick Scott.
The state House unanimously passed the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act (SB 92) on April 17 by a vote of 117 to 0. In so doing, House members followed in the footsteps of their Senate colleagues who had earlier unanimously passed the measure 39 to 0.
If signed by Governor Scott, the bill would forbid federal agents "from using a drone to gather evidence or other information" on citizens of the Sunshine State.
Should a state citizen be the target of an unlawful search and seizure in violation of this bill, he or she would be authorized "to initiate a civil action in order to prevent or remedy" that violation.
As some commentators have observed, the bill is not perfect. Section 4(a) of the bill carves out a dangerous exception to its otherwise commendable constitutional protections.
Section 4(a) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to launch a drone over Florida (and seemingly violate the Fourth Amendment's protection of "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures") "to counter a high risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization."
That is an enormous loophole, one just large enough for a Hellfire missile. Such an occurrence is not unthinkable in this era when the United States has been declared a battleground and Congress has given the president the power to indefinitely detain any American he believes to be aiding enemies of the state. Ostensibly, drones would be the perfect tool to accomplish such round-up of potential prisoners.

Read: All the NHL Wants Is To CRUSH The PA
At The Hockey News, Ken Campbell writes that the NHL seems so dead set on making this CBA as "iron-clad" as it can be so that if they are declared winners when this CBA negotiation ends they can stay the winners unlike the 2005 lockout.
He says "Almost everyone acknowledges that the league has already won. Now all that is to be determined is the margin of victory. That's what everyone was saying seven years ago, too, but the NHL is intent on making those words prophetic this time. "

Is Sriracha a substitute for 'chili sauce'?
- October 9, 2011 at 11:15 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Wondergoat,
Nope. Chili Sauce isn't spicy at all---it's sweet, and is a mixture of tomato sauce, dried mustard, onion powder, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. it's housed in the Ketchup aisle-- you can make your own (google it) but it's more cost-effective to just buy the bottle.

I've actually been looking for a rib recipe and this looks like a great one. I think I'll try it out this week...after I get some liquid smoke. I've never had much call for that before :)
- October 9, 2011 at 11:38 AM
- Melissa @ The Alchemist said...
Oh wow, these look delicious. I think I'm going to make this.
- October 9, 2011 at 2:00 PM
- Heather of Kitchen Concoctions said...
I love cooking ribs in the slow cooker because of how tender the meat becomes. And I love that this recipe does not require pre-cooking or browning the meat before hand, letting my slow cooker do all the work!
- October 10, 2011 at 8:51 AM
- This American Bite said...
I don't have enough faith in my slow cooker. That has to change becuase these ribs look awesome!
- October 10, 2011 at 11:48 AM
- Althea Preston said...
These look so yummy! There really isn't any other liquid than that little bit and the onions? Definitely have to try these.
- October 10, 2011 at 5:01 PM
- StephanieLayne said...
I just put this in my slow cook! Only problem is that it's 3:00 (Couldn't get to the store earlier!) Can I cook this on high for a couple of hours and then kick it back to low, so we can eat closer to 7 or 8?
- October 11, 2011 at 12:16 PM
- Sarah said...
This is in the crockpot now! I tasted the sauce and I have a feeling it is going to be a keeper. Thanks!
- October 11, 2011 at 1:09 PM
- Tiffany @ Eat at Home said...
I think chili sauce is a wonderful "secret" ingredient. It's fantastic in meatloaf, baked beans, bbq...yum!
This recipe looks like it would make my boys very happy. They are in the "age of meat", when they crave protein.
- October 11, 2011 at 1:53 PM
- MPMommy said...
Put this in my crock this morning and I'm so glad I did! Not only does it smell delicious, but it's like 100* out today and I do NOT want to cook. I had thought about baking potatoes to go with it, but not anymore. Too hot to turn on oven. Thanks for the recipe!
- October 12, 2011 at 3:13 PM
I had been craving ribs and bought some last week; they'd been sitting in the fridge while I tried to figure out how to cook them long enough to be tender, with my busy life. Your recipe came just in time... but I was lazy. Used a rub in the pantry, and BBQ sauce that was in the fridge. Cooked them for 9 hours... SO tender, SO yummy. Thank you!
- October 12, 2011 at 7:32 PM
- StephanieLayne said...
Turns out 2 hours on high and 3 hours on low worked just as well! They were delicious! Tender, moist - finger lickin, fall off the bone good!
- October 13, 2011 at 11:07 AM
- Sheena Jade said...
Wondergoat, I used sriracha in mine and they turned out spicy and YUMMY! I omitted the Worcestershire, used 10 oz of sriracha, added an orange pepper, and browned two of the three ribs I used- the browned ones turned out tastier IMO. Served it with sour cream to balance the heat and it got rave reviews.
- October 13, 2011 at 12:57 PM
These are delicious! I used boneless pork ribs, shredded the meat (it was falling apart), and we've been eating it all week. SO good and easy.
- October 13, 2011 at 7:40 PM
These ribs were awesome! I'd still be eating them if I could! I was just spooning the sauce in my mouth..that good! I followed the recipe exactly using St. Louis pork ribs...cooked on low for 6-7 hours & were so tender that falling off the bone. Definitely will be a keeper for years to come!
- October 15, 2011 at 6:57 PM
- Ashley said...
I made this yesterday and we were blown away at how good these ribs were! My husband has made several attempts to make ribs (oven/grill) and we were never pleased...he felt a little defeated, but it was okay because he had a happy belly :) Will definitely make again!
- October 16, 2011 at 7:35 AM
- glo bug said...
I made these ribs and they were great! I didn't have any liquid smoke so I added some smoked paprika. served the sauce over mashed potatoes. yumm
- October 17, 2011 at 6:04 PM
- Kevin said...
I used some smoke-flavoured bbq marinade because I haven't had luck finding liquid smoke in Sydney stores. I'll substitute with smoked paprika instead next time. This recipe is great!
- October 26, 2011 at 1:34 AM
Oh my goodness, I made this today, and I'm not even a ribs person. It was soooooooooo good. Over 10 hours on low (it was a long day at work) and those bones just fell to the bottom. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...
- October 27, 2011 at 7:50 PM
These were DELICIOUS. I made some no-yolk egg noodles to go along with the ribs and poured the sauce/onions all over the noodles. The sauce was the perfect blend of flavors!
- May 29, 2012 at 6:15 PM
- ftoluloro said...
Mine are cooking as we speak! I can't wait to see how they turn out. The house is already smelling delicious :)

trying this recipe today, omitted liquid smoke (only because I didn't have any), nor did I have chili sauce but modified recipe with a combo of ketchup,sweet chile dipping sauce & some garden cocktail....will post results later, but it smells really good !

AWESOME! I made these last night. Spare ribs were on sale for Memorial Day week-end. I have never cooked spare ribs in my life, but these were sooooooooooooooo delicious. I can't wait to make the sauce for BBQ.

Black Insoles (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 8809
The Superfeet concept is to give your feet firm support without the cushiony feel that other insoles give you right away. Eventually those soft ones wear out, but with Superfeet, immediately they start working by giving you better balance and stability and putting your foot in its natural state instead of its conditioned existance. Giving you more energy, less leg and foot fatigue and for some people the end of back pain.
If you haven't tried Superfeet before, here is your chance.
The Superfeet sizing chart ranges from A-J. Each letter specifies the size of your foot or shoe. Click on size chart.
- Provides stability and comfort
- Great for tight fitting shoes
- Helps your foot to find its natural state
- Improves the comfort and fit of your shoe
- Perfect for shoes without removable insoles or limited space in the shoe
- Thinner than other Superfeet insoles

This Devils Food recipe is straight from my mother, Angelina Recchiuti, and as a kid I remember snacking on it after school with a glass of cold milk. For a special Valentines twist, you can cut the cake into heart-shaped servings and garnish it with your favorite topping. The individual cakes are perfect for a romantic evening at home or whenever you just want to share some love.
Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. A nonstick pan may be substituted.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together into a bowl. Stir the baking soda into the espresso in another bowl and then stir in the oil, milk and pure vanilla extract.
Combine the sugar and egg in a medium bowl and whisk together by hand. Whisk in the flour mixture in 2 additions, alternately with the coffee mixture in 1 addition. Fold in the orange zest with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the pan.
Place on the middle shelf of the oven and lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick at 25 minutes and then again every 5 minutes until the toothpick comes out moist. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Lightly grease a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter and use to cut into individual servings.
Plate and serve with a dusting of confectioners sugar and a drizzle of warmed Extra-Bitter Chocolate Sauce. Garnish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional.)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup espresso, brewed and cooled
1/4 cup flavorless vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon
1 cup granulated cane sugar
1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon orange zest
Extra-Bitter Chocolate Sauce, for garnish
Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for garnish (optional)

Whether you're buying a high-tech token of affection for that special someone or a birthday gift for Mom, everyone loves gadgets. Finding the right gift, however, can be a challenge with so many compelling products vying for your attention. Fortunately, we've picked the best products to get you started.
From budget-friendly Chromebooks to the fastest tablets and the sleekest-looking bags, these are the hottest gadget gifts available now. For even more ideas, see our full list of 100+ gift recommendations on Tom's Guide.
Proving that Chromebooks can be affordable and sexy, Toshiba's Chromebook 2 sports a gorgeous 1080p display in a silvery textured design that's just as portable and compact as the MacBook Air. This $329 stunner also impresses with its loud and clear Skullcandy-powered speakers. The Chromebook 2's 2.58-GHz Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM combine to provide silky smooth performance, whether you're surfing the Web, updating Facebook or playing games. Add in nearly 8 hours of battery life and you have a lightweight laptop anyone would love.
The water-resistant polyester exterior of the Samsonite Xenon 2 will keep things dry in the rain, while the adjustable and padded straps will make sure this laptop backpack always fits perfectly. It's TSA-friendly, so you can take this bag through airport security quickly. Plus, the simple black design is perfect for any occasion.
To store 9 hours of RAW 4K video, you'll need about 1TB of storage space. With the same amount of space, photographers can hold up to 320,000 high-resolution photos. Music buffs can store 17,000 hours of music. Or, you may just need to back up your computer. All of those are great reasons for grabbing the Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 1TB drive. If you're storing the entire contents of the Library of Congress, though, you'll need 174 of these drives, but for one person, this ought to be plenty.
Sometimes, you just need more ports, and the Anker USB 3.0 4-Port is ready to travel wherever you are. It measures just 3.4 x 1.8 x 1.1 inches and weighs just 2.9 ounces. The aluminum exterior will reduce scratches that result when you repeatedly plug in various USB keys and accessories.
Amazon set the tablet market on fire with its super affordable Fire HD 6, which performs like a much more valuable slate. For just $99, this little puppy offers 8 hours and 27 minutes of battery life combined with an accurate and bright 6-inch display. Thanks to the company's excellent parental controls and separate profiles, the Fire HD 6 is perfect for families. Plus, Amazon Prime ($99 per year) members will enjoy tons of free e-books, music and videos.
Proving Chromebooks aren't the only affordable laptops on the market with great battery life, the Asus EeeBook X205TA comes with Windows 8.1 preloaded. Its slim design and excellent endurance (12 hours and 5 minutes) make this model great for an avid traveler who needs more than a tablet, but would rather not carry a 15-inch laptop. And for $199, the bright screen, Intel Atom processor and one year of 1TB cloud storage make this almost impulse-buy worthy.
The edge-to-edge display on the Dell XPS 13 will turn heads. The quad-HD touch screen is gorgeous, and essentially puts a 13-inch screen in an 11-inch carbon-fiber body. Starting at $799, it also includes an Intel Core i5 processor, which makes it more powerful than other machines in its class.
Laptops and tablets keep getting thinner, so your security options have to keep up. The Kensington MiniSaver Mobile Lock features the company's Cleat Locking Technology, which means this little cord can be inserted into any security lock slot. It's specifically designed with Chromebooks, 2-in-1 hybrids, tablets and Ultrabooks in mind. The carbon-steel cables pivot and rotate to stay out of your way.
The eye-popping display on the Galaxy S6 is just the beginning of its appeal. On the inside, Samsung and Android 5.0 Lollipop work together to add some helpful user-interface improvements, such as split-screen mode. On the outside, the sexy metal design combines with a top-of-the-line smartphone camera to make a stellar smartphone option. All told, this is the best Android phone right now.
Inside this sleek, polyester exterior you'll find a padded compartment fitted for laptops of up to 15.6 inches, as well as a plum interior lining with a zippered accessory pocket and an organizer section. Outside, metal feet protect the bottom of the bag. The metal studs around the top edges add an extra touch of personality.
Adding an SSD to your laptop can greatly increase your processing power. The Samsung 850 EVO SSD offers sequential read speeds of 550MBps and sequential write speeds of 520MBps. Its energy efficiency could even improve your machine's battery life by up to 50 minutes. Plus, it's backed by a five-year warranty.
Alienware continues to impress with its 17-inch (2014) gaming laptop. With crystal-clear audio from Klipsch, top-of-the-line graphics from Nvidia with 3GB of RAM, and a 4th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, you can light up your opponents at ease. Speaking of lighting, the customizable backlit keyboard is the best in the business. To top off the package, a swift touchpad, a roomy keyboard and a stunning redesign all fit inside one sexy chassis.
One of the most unique gifts of the year is also one of the most powerful. The Shield Tablet is an Android slate and gaming console in one. The optional $60 wireless controller turns this tablet into a gaming powerhouse, letting you play the latest first-person shooters with deadly precision. And if the gamer on your list has a gaming desktop, he can stream the latest PC games right to the device, which you can plug into your TV. Bonus: a built-in stylus lets them take notes or draw in between fragging sessions.
The average table height is 29.5 inches, but the average eye level for a person is somewhere between 40 and 50 inches. Avoid eyestrain with a simple laptop stand, such as the aluminum Rain Design mStand. As the tilt design increases airflow around the laptop, it becomes healthier for your machine, too. It even offers a handy place to store your cables on the underside.
The 3.5-inch, multitouch touchpad to the right of the keys will be the first thing you notice about the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400. That touchpad also features two buttons. It's wireless, is powered by two AA batteries and weighs just 1.1 pounds, so it's also easy to use anywhere. The company claims that the keyboard has a wireless range of 33 feet.
Microsoft's Designer Bluetooth Mouse pairs wirelessly with your laptop or tablet via Bluetooth 4.0. The ambidextrous, black-matte design is sleek and simple. It runs on two AAA batteries, meaning it should last up to 6 months on a charge.
The incredibly helpful Satechi 10-Port Aluminum USB 3.0 Hub adds seven USB ports to your computer and three charging ports to provide power to other devices. With data rates of up to 5 Gbps, you shouldn't see any lag. Plus, its aluminum finish keeps your desk looking classy.

Parents react to TUSD circus
Reporter: Jessica Chapin
TUCSON (KGUN9- TV) - The circus surrounding the Tucson Unified School District is enough to cause some parents to re-think their choice for their child's education. Parents are reacting to recent events with a range of strong emotions after Tuesday's board meeting ended with protests and a smoke bomb.
The smoke bomb came just as board members voted to drop the director of Mexican American Studies, Sean Arce. Former students, community members and TUSD staffers in favor of the decision spoke for hours during public comment. The continuing controversy leaves some TUSD parents questioning their children's edition.
Edward Lopez's daughter is in kindergarten, but he says he's not sure TUSD is where she should stay.
"I have thought about moving her out of the district to see if there's anything else out there that would help her learn about her ethnicity and things like that," he said, adding that he didn't think the program needed fixing.
"It never hurt anybody and now it's just causing more of a distraction with everything that's going on," said Lopez.
The images of demonstrators zip-tied to one another, chained to chairs or setting off smoke bombs are disturbing for parents like James Parke and other parents who trust the board and school system to keep order in the learning process. Parke says he doesn't fear for his children at school, but feels the whole controversy is getting out of hand.
"I think it's inappropriate that they have to do that or they feel they have to do that," he said, "I think it's dangerous for any child to be put in that position or feel that they have to do something like that to react to something."
Other parents regard the protests as purely political, and as long as they stay out of the classroom, their children will stay in.
"The way that the school district's going is I think on the right direction," said TUSD parent Richard Powell, "Sahuaro and Gridley and Gale where my kids have grown up are awesome."
TUSD Superintendent Dr. John Pedicone released a statement Wednesday clarifying the board's decision to terminate Sean Arce's contract, and referred to Tuesday's smoke bomb in the letter:
"TUSD School Safety officers appropriately responded to and handled the incident he said They maintained a level of safety while working to identify the person responsible for the act.
The district is sensitive to concerns about how decisions impact staff, faculty, and our programs. We are committed to improving the quality of education for all our children."

|With the official presidential campaign season now fully underway, we'll get an update on voting machines around the country. After a problem-riddled adoption of various electronic voting systems following the 2000 election, many states are now moving towards systems that can provide a voter-verified paper trail to ensure an accurate vote. In some states, voting machines that are only a few years old are being sold for scrap or auctioned on Ebay. But are there enough of the new machines to go around -- and are some areas of the country better equipped than others? And what about ballot design? We'll talk with Larry Norden, author of "The Machinery of Democracy: Protecting Elections in an Electronic World," about voting technology around the country.

Focusing on the Coaching Search
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
As was written about a few days ago there's been a host of coaches (nine at last count) who have parted ways in some capacity with the Jets. The Jets have made it clear that they would hire their GM first before announcing a rash of coaching moves. Pettine looks like he's doing all he can to take as many guys with him as possible … guys like Anthony Weaver and Jim O'Neill. So if the Jets are close, what are some of the other moves they are about to make?
Offensive Coordinator — Sounds like Pep Hamilton is the favorite for this post for the Jets. Look to see his name as the Jets top choice.
Defensive Coordinator — It's a forgone conclusion that Dennis Thurman will be bumped up from his secondary post to the defensive coordinator spot.
Special Teams Coordinator — It's no secret that Westhoff's assistant Ben Kotwica will be bumped up with the absence of Mike Westhoff.
Quarterbacks Coach — There's not much solid intel here, but there was a rumor that the Jets were interested in the former QB Coach for the Bills and Dolphins, David Lee. Lee of course was the man who brought the Wildcat to Miami from Arkansas.
Other Key Spots — The Jets linebackers coaching spot is bare and the Jets will need to address the spot as best they can. With some big changes likely at that spot coming this offseason, the Jets should do their best to hire as good a group of coaches as they can.

Lake Bell Gossip
Lake Bell gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Monday night dinner club
SPW/ Splash
Last night at Katsuya in Studio City. That's where we all should have been. Because that's where this girls' dinner was going down: Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Lake Bell, Nicole Richie... Just yesterday G Instagrammed a photo of herself on the mountain in Utah: 20 years later and I still got it 😉🎿 #justlikeridingabike #ididntbreakanything ! @moncler @montagedeervalley Full Story
Lake Bell's wedding dress and guests
I really liked Lake Bell in What Happens In Vegas. She and Rob Cordry cracked me up. Still...I never thought I'd spend money on Lake Bell exclusive photos. But there's a lot going on here that's worth a look. First, obviously, since it's a wedding... The dress. It's Marchesa. Full Story
Why Is
Camilla Belle? It's a super fun game Duana introduced last week over email, starting a chain with me and Michelle that lasted a solid hour beginning with this question: Why is Lake Bell? "Why Is" is an art. "Why Is" does not apply to Megan Fox. You might hate her, and I might hate admitting it, but Megan Fox is not irrelevant, sorry. Full Story
He tried
And we quivered. My friend Duana was in Ireland recently for a family wedding. Being half Irish, she kinda has an Irish thing. And a Colin Farrell thing. So she's been keening for Colin and this won't help the ache… Because last night in New York at the Pride & Glory premiere, Colin Farrell actually tried. Full Story
Bitches at Sundance
Hands down, without a doubt, the two biggest bitches at Sundance – Teri Hatcher and Kristen Bell aka Veronica Mars. First Teri – saw her hangin' off her man (ex boyfriend of Eva Longoria) arriving at the Village at the Lift where the Fred Segal suite was open for business. Pappies were flashing, she seemed smug and sated about finally finding herself a fool willing to date her, and at the same time desperately aware of the absurdity of the situation – he is, after all, a decent looking man with prospects. Full Story
Worst Friend of Jennifer Aniston: Courteney Cox
No matter which way you slice it, this dress sucks donkey ass. ASS. All of it is ass - the fabric, the way it cuts off her arms, her makeup…all of it is ass. Southern. Belle. Ass. But curiously enough, those are also some very healthy looking breasts. Like expectant breasts. Shall we start a new rumour? Is Courteney Cox pregnant again? Source Full Story
Keith Urban: summoned to Australia
You might be sick of my tagline but even the most amateur of gossips, the most hardcore of Nicole believers has to concede at this point that this recent well timed photo opp, in Australia no less, is much more Conspiracy than it is Coincidence. Especially since some flooze decided to blow the top off of her long term relationship with Keith, complete with illustrations and suggestive photos, to expose the fraud that is the Kidman/Urban marriage. Full Story
Ginger & Blue
SOOO cute! Geri Halliwell with her daughter BlueBell Madonna – for the record, I adore the name BlueBell – bundled up for chilly temperatures. They look great, non? Especially Geri. In fact, since Blue, Geri has never looked better. Check her out earlier this week at a premiere in London – radiant, fit, healthy, and accompanied by Kenny Goss, George Michael's longtime lover… Faghag for life, right? Love, love, love. Full Story
How the Pitts gush
Angelina Jolie gets cheesy…who would have thought? But if there was ever a week to show a "softer" side, this would be it. Because tattoos and airplanes won't win over the MiniVan Majority and there's nothing like a cheesy, gushy, public proclamation of love to chip away at the MiniVan insecurity complex little by little. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: a friendly black dress
Even by her standards, this is orange, non? Does she ever NOT tan? Check out Jen supporting Courteney at the premiere of Dirt on Saturday wearing…wait for it, wait for it… yes of course, a little black dress – totally appropriate on this night. Courteney, after all, is her fiercest ally, her shoulder to cry on, again and again and again and again. Full Story
Britney Becoming Cam
It's not that I don't think she looks good – she does look good. Going dark takes away the redneck chicken fried vibe of her previous weave and it's never a bad thing to scale back on the trash. Problem is the timing. The timing sucks. Because even though Britney has shown vast improvement, even though the body is on its way back, even though the spotty Cheeto blemishes have largely receded, she still hasn't totally achieved fighting form. Full Story
Britney Spears: lazy is as lazy does
Too posh to push and too lazy to work out…that just about sums up Britney Spears. NW Magazine reported recently that Britney arranged for a tummy tuck last week immediately following her c-section, eager to get a jumpstart on losing weight. Not surprising, of course. She is after all the poster princess for sloth, as reflected in her choice of husband, and considering that her diet consists of Taco Bell, french fries, and Starbucks I suppose going to the gym to sweat it off the old fashioned way probably isn"t too appealing of an option. Full Story
On Sutton Pierce Federline
SPF v2.0, initials to match his older brother, a name chosen presumably for its air of old money and class, amusing enough considering the Spears/Federline family tree probably hasn't extended itself beyond trailer thug territory but admirable also since Britney clearly aspires to a certain distinction for her children, no matter how much Taco Bell is coursing through their blood.

NARRAGANSETT – Two steps forward, one step back.
All of the good vibes Lincoln High gained in beating previously undefeated Moses Brown the previous week went up in smoke Saturday at Zepp Field. Turnovers and several ill-timed penalties were the major bugaboos in a 23-7 setback to Narragansett High that places the Lions squarely on the bubble of the Division III playoff scene.
"We completely beat ourselves," was the quick-to-the-point assessment Lincoln head coach Dave Waycott offered after his club slipped to 3-3 in the league, a record now shared by the Mariners.
Added senior quarterback Ryan O'Dell, "All of the wins we had earlier in the season, they don't mean anything now. We've got to fight for our lives to make the playoffs."
The Lions were guilty of 10 penalties for 85 yards. The two that stuck out the most came with the Mariners facing fourth-and-short yardage. In both instances the Lions were whistled for encroachment, which automatically resulted in fresh set of downs for the home team.
The transgressions loomed even larger after Narragansett capped off both drives with scores. In the second quarter the Mariners went from fourth-and-three to Chris Salomone drilling a 26-yard field goal as time expired. The play capped off a 10-play, 62-yard drive that also featured quarterback Mark Griffith picking up 17 yards on a third down scramble, which no doubt Salomone was thankful for as the Mariners took a 9-0 lead into halftime.
Lincoln's inability to wait for Narragansett to hike the ball surfaced again late in the third quarter, this time the Mariners facing fourth-and-one from the Lions' 42-yard line. Once again Lincoln paid the price for jumping the gun, as Narragansett's Julien Nelson widened the gap courtesy of a 1-yard score three plays into the fourth quarter.
On a day in which the Lions were assessed 60 yards in personal fouls, it was two penalties totaling 10 yards that loomed large.
"We were our own worst enemy today," said Waycott. "We had five penalties (against Moses Brown) and I thought we were going in the right direction, but apparently that wasn't the case."
After a lackluster first half that saw O'Dell briefly leave after absorbing a shot to his neckline, Lincoln started the second half with a score on its initial offensive series. Junior Anthony Palombo finished off a 9-play, 79-yard drive by beating several Narraganett defenders to the right corner, the play covering 4 yards.
The good vibes quickly went out the window on the ensuing kickoff. In the words of Narragansett head coach Dick Fossa, senior captain Kieran Kenny was able to "squirt" free from a sizeable scrum near the Mariners' 30, taking off for a 90-yard kickoff return that placed the Lions in a 16-7 hole.
There were other mistakes too, as Lincoln committed two fumbles after receivers had made the catch. There was also the recovered kickoff by the Mariners deep in enemy territory in the second quarter, as not a single Lion picked up the ball after it had rolled the required 10 yards.
"The previous two kickoffs had sailed out of bounds and they thought (the one eventually recovered by the Mariners) would do the same," said Waycott.
Like the loss to Burrillville earlier in the month, Saturday's defeat to Narragansett has the potential of coming back to haunt Lincoln. All three schools are in contention for the final playoff berth. If it comes down to tiebreakers, then the Lions have no hope of playing meaningful football after their Thanksgiving Eve date with Central Falls.
Lincoln has two league dates remaining (next Saturday at Classical and Nov. 5 at home versus Middletown).
"Maybe we need to play desperate in order to see what works," said O'Dell, who finished with 139 passing yards on 10 completions.

LACKAWANNA, N.Y. - The Bethlehem Steel Administration Building might have one last chance Friday to escape the wrecking ball. A lawsuit will be filed Friday against the owners of the building, Gateway Trade.
Preservationists say that a new engineering report directly contradicts other reports that said the building was structurally unsound. Lawyers say this information was never presented to the Lackawanna City Court.
The lawsuit calls for the owners to cease all demolition work until an investigation can take place into the findings of the report.
The group that wants to save the building would like to complete an adaptive re-use study.
2 On Your Side attempted to reach out to the Mayor of Lackawanna for a response, but were not able to contact him.

Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer Facts
Breast cancer is cancer arising in breast tissue. Cancer is simply a group of abnormal cells that have abnormal growth patterns.
The breasts are made of fat, glands, and connective (fibrous) tissue. The breast has several lobes, which are divided into lobules that end in the milk glands. Tiny ducts run from the many tiny glands, connect together, and end in the nipple.
precancerous changes, called in situ changes, are common.
When cancers spread into the surrounding tissues, they are termed infiltrating cancers. Cancers spreading from the ducts into adjacent spaces are termed infiltrating ductal carcinomas. Cancers spreading from the lobules are infiltrating lobular carcinomas.
The most serious cancers are metastatic cancers. Metastasis means that the cancer has spread from the place where it started into other tissues distant from the original tumor site. The most common place for breast cancer to metastasize is into the lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone on the same side as the cancer. Other common sites of breast cancer metastasis are the brain, the bones, and the liver.

SDSU drops conference opener
The South Dakota State women's tennis team dropped its league opener 6-1 at the cluster versus Fort Wayne.
Fresh off of its spring trip to Florida, the Jackrabbits faced the Mastodons as part of a three-meet, Summit League cluster in Kansas City, Mo.
IPFW swept doubles for the team point with identical 8-2 scores at the top and bottom spots. The Mastodons also won at No. 2 doubles by one break of serve.
In singles, all matches were decided in straight sets and IPFW won five of the six matches.
Tacy Haws-Lay was SDSU's lone winner, a 6-4, 6-4 victory versus Marcy Huck at No. 5. The match was the fourth to finish.
Two matches needed bonus games in one set to determine the outcome, but both went the way of the Mastodons.
"We made a conscious decision today that we were going to give IPFW all the respect in the world," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "They are a great program and one of the favorites to win the league, but we have the talent to compete with them. The major difference is they had belief and were mentally stronger. We need to wake up tomorrow morning and believe we belong and can compete with anyone. It is not easy to do, but that will be the difference as we move forward in Summit League play."
The Jacks drop to 8-8 on the season and 0-1 in The Summit League. SDSU has a short turnaround for its second and third meets of the week. The Jacks play two meets on Tuesday: host Kansas City at 9 a.m. and Western Illinois at 2 p.m.

The Namesake: A Novelby Jhumpa Lahiri
2004 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist
"In her 2000 Pulitzer Prize-winning collection of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies, Jhumpa Lahiri introduced us to people who left behind family and friends and the familiar heat and bustle of India to build a new life in America — a cold, bleak land of strangers and new customs. Lahiri's sweet, sometimes deep, sometimes quirky first novel, The Namesake, picks up on these beloved themes and then expands on them, following the Indian-American immigrant experience through to the next generation as she tracks the members of the Ganguli family." Amy Reiter, Salon.com (read the entire Salon review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Jhumpa Lahiri's debut story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, took the literary world by storm when it won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. Fans who flocked to her stories will be captivated by her best-selling first novel, now in paperback for the first time.
The Namesake is a finely wrought, deeply moving family drama that illuminates this acclaimed author's signature themes: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the tangled ties between generations.
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of an arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Ashoke does his best to adapt while his wife pines for home. When their son, Gogol, is born, the task of naming him betrays their hope of respecting old ways in a new world. And we watch as Gogol stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With empathy and penetrating insight, Lahiri explores the expectations bestowed on us by our parents and the means by which we come to define who we are.
"Lahiri's first novel amounts to less than the sum of its parts....By any other writer, this would be hailed as a promising debut, but it fails to clear the exceedingly high bar set by her previous work." Publishers Weekly
"[Q]uietly dazzling....[A] wonderfully intimate and knowing family portrait...a debut novel that is as assured and eloquent as the work of a longtime master of the craft." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Lahiri's short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize, and her deeply knowing, avidly descriptive, and luxuriously paced first novel is equally triumphant." Donna Seaman, Booklist
"[B]eautiful....[A] bigger, untidier, and ultimately more involving book [than Interpreter of Maladies]....[Lahiri is a] sophisticated, gimlet-eyed chronicler of contemporary urban American life. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
"[P]oignant...a rich, stimulating fusion of authentic emotion, ironic observation, and revealing details. Readers who enjoyed the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning short story collection...will not be disappointed." Library Journal
"Jhumpa Lahiri expands her Pulitzer Prize-winning short stories of Indian assimilation into her lovely first novel, The Namesake." Vanity Fair
"Though Lahiri writes with painstaking care, her dry synoptic style fails to capture the quirkiness of relationships....A disappointingly bland follow-up to a stellar story collection." Kirkus Reviews
"This eagerly anticipated debut novel deftly expands on Lahiri's signature themes of love, solitude and cultural disorientation." Harper's Bazaar
"Pulitzer Prize-winner Jhumpa Lahiri weaves an intricate story of the cultural assimilation of an Indian family in America. Their bumpy journey to self-acceptance will move you." Maire Claire
This quietly beautiful family portrait "deftly expands on Lahiri's signature themes of love, solitude, and cultural disorientation" (Harper's Bazaar), the very themes that made her collection of stories an international bestseller.
Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies established this young writer as one the most brilliant of her generation. Her stories are one of the very few debut works — and only a handful of collections — to have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Among the many other awards and honors it received were the New Yorker Debut of the Year award, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the highest critical praise for its grace, acuity, and compassion in detailing lives transported from India to America. In The Namesake, Lahiri enriches the themes that made her collection an international bestseller: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the conflicts of assimilation, and, most poignantly, the tangled ties between generations. Here again Lahiri displays her deft touch for the perfect detail — the fleeting moment, the turn of phrase — that opens whole worlds of emotion.
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of their arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An engineer by training, Ashoke adapts far less warily than his wife, who resists all things American and pines for her family. When their son is born, the task of naming him betrays the vexed results of bringing old ways to the new world. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name. Lahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With penetrating insight, she reveals not only the defining power of the names and expectations bestowed upon us by our parents, but also the means by which we slowly, sometimes painfully, come to define ourselves. The New York Times has praised Lahiri as "a writer of uncommon elegance and poise." The Namesake is a fine-tuned, intimate, and deeply felt novel of identity.
About the Author
Jhumpa Lahiri was born 1967 in London, England, and raised in Rhode Island. She is a graduate of Barnard College, where she received a B.A. in English literature, and of Boston University, where she received an M.A. in English, M.A. in Creative Writing and M.A. in Comparative Studies in Literature and the Arts, and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Studies. She has taught creative writing at Boston University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Her debut collection, Interpreter of Maladies, won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. It was translated into twenty-nine languages and became a bestseller both in the United States and abroad. In addition to the Pulitzer, it received the PEN/Hemingway Award, the New Yorker Debut of the Year award, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Addison Metcalf Award, and a nomination for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Lahiri was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002. The Namesake is Jhumpa Lahiri's first novel. She lives in New York with her husband and son.

The presidential field seems complete now that confirmed conservative Fred Thompson finally announced he is running for president on The Tonight Show last week. His entrance into an already crowded field, at a time when elections in the past most candidates were still weighing the idea of running. Everything is certainly happening earlier than we are used to.
But this earlier than ever election process that is going on doesn't do away with a set of circumstances that we have only had twice before during a presidential race year. That circumstance happens to be that of no standing president running during a major war our country is involved in.
The only other two times this has happened is in 1952 when Harry Truman decided not to run for a second term (although he had actually served almost two terms at that point because he had taken over for deceased Franklin Roosevelt in 1945) while the Korean War was going on.
The second was when Lyndon Johnson decided not to run for another term in a similar manner in 1968 during the height of the Vietnam War.
Whether Truman or Johnson would have won if they had run is just speculative conjecture. Truman would have been up against Dwight Eisenhower, a George Washington kind of figure to the American public at the time because of his triumph during World War II in commanding all European forces.
Johnson would have probably faced Nixon just as his vice president Hubert Humphrey did and based on what was going on at the time there is a good chance Nixon would have defeated him. In both cases people wanted a change.
This time a sitting president cannot declare again because of the two term limitation put in place after FDR's unprecedented four wins in row from 1932-1944. And not only that, the vice president is not running either.
But there are some real parallels. Unrest in the public concerning domestic and foreign policies today look a lot like both these other races. But the center of it all seems to be the Iraq war. Our country seems to be trapped in a quagmire just as we were at the time of the election in 1951 and 1967. No reasonable person will say that we can just clear out of Iraq, yet no one seems to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel for when it will end either. In both the other conflicts we were involved in a world wide struggle against communism, or the Cold War as it has been called. Those two earlier wars were fought on the grounds of defeating communism.
We of course are also fighting this war in conjunction with a world wide operation: the War on Terror. However, while it was quite clear that the wars fought in Korea and Vietnam were against communist regimes, it is still very unclear whether the invasion of Iraq really had anything to do with the present larger conflict.
The war in Afghanistan against the Taliban is also still raging. Many who dispute our reasons for being in Iraq, proclaim that the war in Afganistan is totally justified. It is after all where many of the enemy who directly contributed to the 9/11 attack reside, plan and train for more attacks on the west.
It is pretty clear that the American people want some kind of change in Iraq policy. In the two other wars, the party not in power claimed large victories in those presidential elections.
Will that happen this time? It's hard to tell. All but one of the present Democratic candidates want out of Iraq. On the Republican side all but one candidate wants to "stay the course" rather than just pull out.
What is different in this election is the divisions within the country. While the public is polarized about the war in Iraq, they are also polarized on other issues from immigration to abortion. While middle America is scared of the idea of liberals running the government once again, they are just as disgusted with the conservatives that have had the reigns for the last seven years.
Once again for those in the middle of the right and the left, there seems to be little choice, particularly with candidates who can raise money and win the final election. Moderate values are truly lacking in the field of candidates on both sides, and the money and power to get the nomination seems to fall at both end's of the scale, rather than in the middle.
What a turning point in our history this could be. We could elect the first woman president. We could also elect the first African-American or Hispanic president. We could also elect the first Mormon president. On top of that we could have another actor in the White House.
On second thought, Thompson might be the only one with a actors guild card, but they should probably all have one considering what has been going on.

Less stress than to have to put together a power-point show and have information on Italy. I am better suited to discuss the food and related Italian-American culture.
The reason for the inadequacy is I was asked if I had anything to contribute to the small display promoting the evening. I have a small Italian flag and a few postcards. That's.it.I.have.no.more. I feel so sad. I have photos from my dad's trip, not of interest unless you are part of my family. I have heirlooms of my grandmother's but none of them are Italian made. They are American items from the 1950s, things many Americans owned, not just Italian-Americans. I have cookbooks but the library has many of those plus a whole lot of fiction and non-fiction books as well. I did offer one of my four pasta makers because I don't need that many for any of my fall classes as of yet. So I am going to loan the library a manual pasta machine for their display. Whoopee!
No linens, no leather items, no dishes, no nothing! I must get to Italy! I must shop!

The UK's pre-eminent DJ and dancefloor tastemaker heads up one of his first commercially available mixes - for London's Fabric institute. One year on from his diverse and killer Rinse mix, the focus here is firmly on the spectrum of house music, contextualising vintage material from Mr Fingers, Herbert and Fluxion alongside fresh cut grooves from Juniper, Jam City and Blawan, and all shades between. Combining 28 tracks in 72 minutes, Ben's mixing is measured and well paced, rather than rushed and pacy, juicing the natural structure of stripped-down grooves to build a sensual session greater than the sum of its parts. In the first section the groove dilates and contracts between NYC-style house from Delroy Edwards and Sex Tags Mania, and Hessle aces including an exclusive run of Pev & Kowton's 'Raw Code' swagger, moving thru Midwest nuggets from Chicago Skyway and K-Hand to a wicked sequence of Minimal Man's 'Consexual' - Jam City's 'Club Thanz' - Herbert 'Take Me Back'. He's inspired again with Mr Fingers' amazing 'I'm Strong' threaded into Shackleton vs Kasai Allstars' 'Mukuba Special' and Kyle Hall & Kero's 'Zug Island', or flexing from Juniper's 'Jovian Planet Ace' into A Made Up Sound's 'Malfunction (Despair)' and Grain aka Artwork's 'Untitled' rarity to Bandshell's 'Perc' exclusive for Liberation Technologies, just like it ain't no thang. It's a clinically judged yet intuitive approach and effect that's earned him tonnes of followers and is bound to connect with folk far beyond the house mainstream.
