Help Feed Kids in Their Critical First 1,000 Days
This World Food Day, you have the chance to give a baby a healthy start to life.
The first 1,000 days is the most crucial period of any child's life, but far too many do not get the food they need to survive. The consequences of malnutrition during this critical window—from pregnancy through age two—are severe and irreversible. Last year 3.5 million children died of malnutrition. These deaths are 100 percent preventable.
That's why World Food Program USA is committed to breaking the cycle of malnutrition by getting mothers and their babies the right foods at the right time.
Hunger is the world's greatest solvable problem. Together, we can give babies a strong and healthy start to life.
Join WFP USA and pledge to help feed kids in their first 1,000 days. Be a part of the solution this World Food Day with this simple pledge.
This World Food Day, I'm joining World Food Program USA to help change the lives of young children.
I pledge to support vital nutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child's life. It is one of the smartest investments anyone can make, as it will give a child a lifetime of better health and real hope.

Subscriber Services
Horowitz: I think that through our research, and the ideas that I developed in Inside of a Dog, I reminded people of the huge interest in understanding the dog's point of view. In other words, looking at dog behavior from the dog's side as opposed to from an owner's perspective or the perspective of a comparative psychologist, who is interested primarily in mapping nonhuman animals to human animals.
So I think for many people, I helped re-spark the interest in the dog qua dog, and I'm very pleased and happy about that.
McConnell: I would say it's my focus on the natural history of both humans as primates and dogs as canines, and using these evolutionary heritages to explain and enhance our interactions. My two favorite species have always been people and dogs, and I'm as fascinated by our own behavior as I am of canine behavior.
What needs more research or remains unresolved about the dog?
Otto: I have a sense that working dogs, dogs with a purpose and dogs who have things to do live longer and happier lives. Many pet dogs are frustrated, bored, inactive and fat; it kind of amazes me that a lot of dogs' lives don't even meet the environmental- stimulation standards required for rodents living in research labs. We need to think about how stimulation, or the lack thereof, affects dogs' quality of life.
Miklósi: A better understanding of what makes for good social relationships between dogs and humans, particularly cooperation. For example, "working together" might be quite selfish for dogs in that they are working for a reward, like play or food. Alternatively, research could investigate whether cooperation can be organized such that dogs are cooperating for the sake it.
McGreevy: What I call "dogmanship"— the science of how the best dog folk interact with their dogs. I'm also interested in understanding how our behavior frustrates and confuses our dogs.
McConnell: We still need lots of research on communication: how dogs interpret our behavior, how we interpret their behavior and how accurate our perceptions and interpretations really are. I think that's most important for companion dogs. Nutrition, diet, physiology and behavior need to be researched as well. I think there is so much in these areas that we haven't explored yet and need to. Also, research could look specifically at aggression and investigate precipitating factors, putting it all on the table: nature, nurture, genetics, physiology and diet, experience, and learning.
Bradshaw: The whole area of the dog's olfactory abilities is waiting to be properly understood. We use those abilities, but I don't think we fully understand them. We know very little about the dog's vomeronasal organ, and we don't even agree as scientists on when dogs are using it. I don't know what the implications of this knowledge would be for companion dogs, but sometimes the most exciting findings arise when doing research for the sake of it; practical value is a byproduct.
What do you wish the average dog owner knew about dogs?
Miklósi: You get out what you put in. If you want a dog as a social partner, that doesn't mean lying in bed together and watching TV, but going out together actively. That could include learning, teaching, talking or solving problems together. I wish people understood that if they do this, they both would have happier lives.
A great example is olfaction. People think that dogs have fantastic abilities when it comes to smell, but that's an oversimplification. Dogs have a fantastic potential for smelling, but if the dog spends its whole life in an apartment and never uses its nose, then I would assume that dog would have poor smelling abilities.
The same goes for social interactions. If the dog has no experience meeting other dogs or people, or has never had a task, then that dog will not function properly. And I think this is also a welfare issue. In some cases, street dogs who are rescued and taken to Western countries are worse off because they are alone, have no experiences and sleep all day.

Recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest residential project with grand river views in China, Shanghai Shimao Riviera Garden features a cluster of buildings covering a gross floor area of 800,000 square metres, extra high green coverage rate of 70%, and a clubhouse with a gross floor area of 15,000 square metres. Adjacent to the east bank of the Huangpu River, seven modern high rise residential buildings in a layout of rows enjoy great river views. The project, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower combine to form a unique urban skyline.
Located in the new CBD in Pudong, the project is really a masterpiece that combines scenic views of the 1 km-long waterfront and the prosperity of downtown Pudong while keeping a considerable distance from the urban uproar. Accounting for more than 70% of the total land area of the project, six world theme garden areas, namely the Chinese-styled Suzhou Garden, US-styled Hawaii Beach, German-styled Swan Lake, British-styled Great Lawn, French-styled Maze Garden, and Olympic Sports Garden, promise unlimited enjoyment and enable private meditation. No external triviality upsets your peace of mind. No visual obstacles obstruct your sight. An unprecedented view of life emerges over the Bund ablaze with lights on the west bank of the Huangpu River.
With its pioneering "Riverside Model", Shanghai Shimao Riviera Garden ranked first by sales in Shanghai for four consecutive years, namely 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Shanghai Shimao was also won the gold award of the so-called "Green Oscars" in Canada, namely "International Awards for Liveable Communities 2004 – Environmentally Sustainable Project Awards".
As a magnificent residential project with waterfront gardening, Shanghai Shimao Riviera Garden is realizing your extraordinary dream of life!

Ventura woman pleads not guilty to killing daughter
A Ventura woman accused of drowning her 8-year-old daughter last year entered pleas today of not guilty to murder and child abuse charges in Ventura County Superior Court.
Blair Marie Stockdill's lawyer, Donna Forry, said her client also denied the special allegations — inflicting great bodily injury during the commission of a felony and causing an injury that resulted in death.
The 25-year-old Stockdill has a history of mental illness and is accused of killing her daughter, Alaina Stockdill.
On Sept. 20, Alaina was found dead lying on her side in an empty bathtub, her head resting on a small pillow. Authorities said she likely had been dead for several days before she was found on the morning of Sept. 20.
Alaina had last attended Elmhurst Elementary School on Sept. 15. Her mother called the school the next day to say her daughter was ill and would not be in, authorities have said.
Blair Stockdill lost custody of Alaina about five years ago. Her father, Michael Stockdill, took custody of Alaina in 2005. By October 2009, however, Alaina had been living with her mother for two years, and Stockdill sought to officially end her father's guardianship. His guardianship was terminated in December of that year, court records show.
Prosecutor Chrystina Jenson said in an interview that discovery or exchange of information is under way between the district attorney and Forry, who works at the Public Defender's Office.
Forry declined to comment as she left the courtroom.
Jenson said Forry can raise the insanity defense at anytime, which automatically suspends the criminal proceedings.
Judge Edward Brodie set the next hearing for March 24.

BOISE (AP) — State officials negotiating with computer suppliers to arm every high school teacher and student with a laptop under Idaho's contested education reforms say they're still on track to get the program started this fall.
The laptops are a cornerstone of public schools chief Tom Luna's "Students Come First" reforms, which go before voters in November. But the plan to arm teachers with the devices first, during the upcoming school year, hit a snag last month.
That's when Idaho officials abandoned the original bidding process meant to provide the devices, citing insufficient competition. As a result, the state Department of Administration is negotiating directly with providers of computers and services.
Late last week, the agency reported negotiations were proceeding as planned and they're still on track for the laptops this fall.

Finding the right gift for dad on his birthday can be a challenge for any son or daughter. Dads often seem to have at least one of everything already and some even claim not to want a birthday gift at all. However, most dads do like getting a gift, especially one as practical and enjoyable as our Braun shaver parts.
Types of Braun Shaver Parts
From cartridges to cleaners, there are many different types of Braun shaver parts that any dad would be pleased to receive. For a dad who travels, either for work or for pleasure, an extra charger or protective cap might come in handy. One of our new cartridges will extend the lifespan of the shaver by many years. All replacement parts are available for all types of Braun systems, so dad can rest assured knowing his shaver will be with him and working well for many years to come.
Benefits of Using a Braun Shaver
Our Braun shavers give dad the close shave he desires. With flexible control, dad can easily create a custom look for his beard and/or mustache. We have shavers that are small enough to fit into any duffel bag or carry-on luggage or even a gym bag for a quick shave after a workout. Using our genuine replacement parts to repair a shaver means that the item will give dad many more birthdays' worth of use.
Our parts for Braun shavers cost less than buying dad a totally new shaver. Every time dad gets out the system to groom himself, he will be reminded of his son or daughter's thoughtfulness and generosity on his birthday. He might even be proud to have brought up such a practical-minded son or daughter who cares enough about him to only give the best!
Men's shavers are expensive tools that are needed to be used most commonly on a daily basis. That is, men typically use their electric shavers once a day on end and typically try to get a maximum of two years out of the life of their shaver. Braun, an industry leader in home electronics has developed highly advanced and technical men's electric shavers that are durable and of the highest quality in the industry. When shavers are used at a high level and need to be fixed or repaired, it is lesser expensive to purchase parts for the shaver versus having to buy a whole new system. Braun shaver parts are available and can easily fix the mechanism and the tool by simply replacing specific parts instead of having to purchase a whole new system.
While many would feel that men are the most to use electric shavers, there is also steady demand for women's shaving products. At the end of the day, the average consumer (both men and women) will shave once a day. In that, these products are used more than 350 times per year which makes them highly susceptible to requiring a replacement or repair.
Braun is a well-known industry name for their leading innovation and quality of products. Using a product from this line of company is highly recommended as consumers crave high quality in addition to innovation and product pricing. Braun shavers for both men and women are highly durable and advanced products that are in constant demand by households everywhere.
What type of parts can require replacement for shavers? The most common are the blades and heads of the electric shaver. That is, the blade and the precision and sharpness of the head are the most important component of the shaver. Over time, these wear down due to extensive usage and will need to be replaced. Having a very sharp blade on the end of the electric shaver is important to ensuring a precise and accurate cut is being made each time. Another important replacement part is the power adaptor cord. While this seems as though it is not in high demand, oftentimes the adaptor cord is misplaced and it is challenging if not impossible to find. The majority of Braun electric shavers are rechargeable internal batteries that require to be plugged in to the wall after use to recharge. Countless times these cords can be easily misplaced and the shaver can be left without a charge.
Replacing certain parts of an electric shaver is more cost effective than replacing the unit as a whole. Consider replacing parts individually to save time and money.
Men often need to dress up and look clean-shaven. When dressing up, it is important that they shave with the proper blade. Shaving with a dull or cheap blade gives people a scrubby looking appearance. Other people notice this, and they think less of you if you show up somewhere looking like you just rolled out of bed.
Some men can get away without shaving every day, while others need to be clean-shaven on a daily basis. Shavers and shaver parts make the perfect gift for men of any age. There are tons of shavers on the market for both those who only shave occasionally and those who need to shave every day. The only thing you need to look out for is the quality of the shaver you use.
The highest quality shavers on the market are manufactured by Braun. Braun shavers ensure a close shave with no nicks and cuts. If you use an electric you don't have to use any shaving creams, soaps, or pastes. Using an electric makes shaving a lot easier and more convenient. If you know someone who still shaves with a razor, you may want to get them an electric razor as a gift. Once they try, it they will love it.
When purchasing a shaver, make sure you don't forget to get the accessories that come with it. Braun shaver parts help men get the smoothest shave possible. Some of the most common Braun shaver parts are the foil and cutter, which help with a close shave.
If you know someone that absolutely refuses to shave with an electric razor, Braun makes accessories for them as well. You can always buy some Braun Clean and Sharp Blades. These blades are extra sharp, and they stay that way longer than traditional blades.
Braun shavers and parts make the perfect gift for any occasion. Men love getting these gifts because they are extremely useful, and it can be annoying having to go get the stuff yourself. Men often need to look clean-shaven, and they will appreciate the fact that you bought them a gift that makes that easier.

DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.

The majority of the Mumbai professional female models who are interested here don't have the foggiest idea about that a normal individual with ordinary looks likewise can have a space within the modeling business domain. A hefty portion of the individuals who had entered the fashion modeling coliseum in Mumbai or some other related employments have really gotten to be superstars.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (November 26, 2013) Heavy rains earlier this year have put a big dent in South Carolina's pecan crop, and prices are likely headed up.
Perry Arant shells the sweetmeats for small growers at the OMC Feeds company in central South Carolina.
He said his storeroom should be bursting, but has been pretty empty in recent weeks.
Arant and other processors say heavy spring rains hit pecan trees hard this spring, preventing good nuts from forming.
There is plenty of demand for pecans from China, too, which means prices for the nuts prized on the holiday table could rise.

On Thursday, Demi Lovato sat down on E!'s television series Chelsea Lately, where she discussed her "Neon Lights" tour as well as the Jonas Brothers.
Recently it was announced that Nick Jonas was hired as Lovato's musical and creative director for the "Neon Lights" tour.
Chelsea Handler asked Lovato whether or not she has previously dated one of the Jonas Brothers, notes E! News. Lovato confirmed that she did.
Handler was quick to ask, "Which one's the cute one," prompting her to decide one whether brother was the cutest. Lovato remained speechless for a moment before she replied her answer.
"They have a new niece," Lovato said, mentioning Kevin Jonas' daughter Alena Rose, "and she's really, really cute."
Handler joked that it was "great answer." Lovato, who had previously dated Joe Jonas, was then asked how it feels to be working with an ex-boyfriend's brother. People assume that there must be some awkwardness between the stars. However, Lovato doesn't see it that way.
"We dated for like a month," Lovato explained. "Everyone made it seem like it was this big, big deal."

VERONA, Wis. -- Jon Leuer and his teammates sat on a row of folding chairs in the center of the room. In front of them, the largest throng of interrogators they'll face all year.The questions came fast and furious."Jon Leuer, do you think you can play in the NBA?""Hey Duje Dukan, what did you work on over the summer?""Mr. Nankivil, what do you want to be when you grow up?""Mike Bruesewitz, are you the bestest player on the team?"Instead of a press conference full of reporters, five members of the Wisconsin men's basketball team recently faced an equally intimidating firing squad.An all-school assembly of over 400 elementary school kids.On one of the team's recent off days, Jon Leuer, Keaton Nankivil, Mike Bruesewitz, Duje Dukan and Dan Fahey traded the Kohl Center court for a gymnasium floor at Glacier Edge Elementary School in nearby Verona, Wis. to participate in the school's Read-a-thon fundraiser. Spending time in the community has always been an important part of being a Wisconsin student athlete. Leuer's nomination for the Senior CLASS Award - which is given to the nation's top senior based on excellence in community, classroom, character and competition - is a testament to that.So when fifth-grade teacher Lindsay Herb contacted the men's basketball program about getting involved at her school, the basketball players jumped at the chance like a weak-side rebound.During a 20-minute welcome and question-and-answer session, the five Badgers fielded questions on a wide range of topics.When asked why he plays basketball, part of Leuer's answer was to stand back-to-back with the inquisitive third grader. The nearly three-foot height difference said enough and drew laughter from the crowd.The players often steered the conversation back to the reason for their visit, to promote reading and explain the value of learning. The topic of favorite books came up and Bruesewitz spoke a language to which the children could certainly relate."I really like the Harry Potter books. In fact, I went back and re-read all of them again this summer," the sophomore forward said. "I actually like the books better than the movies because you can visualize the characters how you want and make up your own thoughts."But Mr. Leuer, how does reading have anything to do with playing basketball?"We actually use reading every day," Leuer explained. "We have to read our playbooks and we have scouting reports on other teams and players that we have to read before each game. Plus, we're students too and we need to read in all of our classes."When Bruesewitz was asked if he knew a slam dunk was worth two points. He laughed and replied "Yes, I'm aware of that." He then turned to the freshman teammate on his right and insisted he show off a dunk. Dukan, who later admitted to being scared stiff in front of the all-school assembly, obliged putting down a hammer dunk and sending the crowd into hysteria.The five Badgers then split up and read to all 24 classrooms on an individual basis. The Glacier Edge PTO purchased books like "Knuffle Bunny Free" and "Chicken BIG" for each player to read, which were then donated to the school's library. Each player read a book out loud to the children before taking questions in a smaller setting and signing autographs.Before leaving, the five players each signed a poster for every classroom as well and a basketball for the school's display case.Keaton was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he responded, "I actually think I want to be a teacher. My favorite subject is science because you get to learn all kinds of new things and do experiments. That would be fun to teach."Nankivil and his teammates may not realize it now, but they're already teaching.

SQL Server Change Tracking Performance Troubleshooting
|By: Rajendra Gupta | Read Comments (9) | Related Tips: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | More > Functions - System
SQL Server 2012 introduces two new analytical functions, LEAD() and LAG(). In this tip we will be exploring these functions and how to use them.
These functions access data from a subsequent row (lead) and previous row (lag) in the same result set without the use of a self-join.
The syntax for the Lead and Lag functions is:
LAG|LEAD (scalar_expression [,offset] [,default]) OVER ( [ partition_by_clause ] order_by_clause )
Let me explain using this example which creates table Test_table in database TestDB and inserts some data.
CREATE DATABASE [TestDB] --Create testable to hold some data CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_table]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Department] [nchar](10) NOT NULL, [Code] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Test_table] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [id] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO --Insert some test data insert into Test_table values('A',111) insert into Test_table values('B',29) insert into Test_table values('C',258) insert into Test_table values('D',333) insert into Test_table values('E',15) insert into Test_table values('F',449) insert into Test_table values('G',419) insert into Test_table values('H',555) insert into Test_table values('I',524) insert into Test_table values('J',698) insert into Test_table values('K',715) insert into Test_table values('L',799) insert into Test_table values('M',139) insert into Test_table values('N',219) insert into Test_table values('O',869)
Our table data will look like this:
Now the query for lead value and lag value will be:
SELECT id,department,Code, LEAD(Code,1) OVER (ORDER BY Code ) LeadValue, LAG(Code,1) OVER (ORDER BY Code ) LagValue FROM test_table
In the above example, for the first row the Lead value is the value of the next row because the offset is set to 1. The Lag value is NULL because there were no previous rows.
Now if we change the Lead offset to 2 and Lag offset to 3 the output will be as follows:
One thing to note is that NULL values appear, because there are not values for the Lag or Lead. To replace NULL values with zero add 0 in Lead\Lag function as shown below.
SELECT id,department,Code, LEAD(Code,2,0) OVER (ORDER BY Code ) LeadValue, LAG(Code,3,0) OVER (ORDER BY Code ) LagValue FFROM test_table

To Tony C - I have used something similar to create an effective date range.
I have values that are changing on an occasional basis (readings from a power station). By using the Lead function in Oracle, I have been able to generate a date range (i.e. a From_Datetime and To_Datetime columns). This proved very useful for retrieving the value for a particular point in time. The alternative (using a self join and MIN statement) was very slow on a 250m row table!
The Oracle SQL is here (should be self explanatory):

Seems to be borrowed to some extent from Oracle's analytical functions...LEAD, LAG (, , ) OVER ()

No doubt about it, Kendrick Perkins has had a busy off-season. The Oklahoma City center set his mind to getting in better shape since his Thunder were bounced in the 2011 NBA Western Conference Finals by eventual league champion Dallas. And during the Thunder's visit to American Airlines Center on Sunday night to face those same Mavericks in the preseason opener for both clubs, getting a first look at the slimmer Perkins, who has dropped some 32 pounds since the end of last season, was a bit jarring, at least at first. The big fella who is still only 27 but is entering his 10th year in the NBA has definitely put the work in and now the Nederland, Texas native is ready to reap the dividends of his extensive lifestyle change over the summer and the Thunder are also ready to see those payoffs. Perkins, the 27th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, came over from Boston in February in a deal that sent Jeff Green to the Celtics. He hadn't played much with the Celts last year as he wa...

We know filmmakers today have many creative choices. We also want to let you know that we are working closely with the labs to maintain quality processing and printing for our loyal customers who continue to choose film.
Today we kick off a blog series that will highlight the many positive changes that are occurring on the lab scene today.
IMAGICA WEST Corp. - Osaka, Japan
Recently they purchased a new ECP PHOTOMEC processor to continue to provide the industry with stellar images. The lab strives to not only have the best equipment but also to employ talented professionals.
"Our employees are quite diverse," says Hiromi Inatsuchi, president of IMAGICA WEST, a subsidiary of IMAGICA Corp. "Our workforce is young, with the majority still in their 30s, but we also have a number of highly-skilled employees in their 60s on the front line, which may be rare in today's film laboratories. The younger ones are eager to learn something new, as well as something old (past techniques, history, etc.) from such senior employees. … Film will exist for a long time from now. … And we want to be the place where experts gather."
"Film is the most superior medium, especially in handling mixed colors," adds Inatsuchi. "Experts are very aware of the advantages, thus as long as budgets allow, film will be in demand for a long time." (www.imagicawest.com/westcom)

Expert industry opinions, recent news and happenings, anything shareworthy within the film community will be delivered to your inbox regularly.

TiVo offers refurb TiVo HD for $180
The TiVo HD can record up to 20 hours of HD video or 180 hours of standard definition television. Of course, you need to factor the price of a monthly, annual, or product lifetime service plan. Those subscription fees quickly add up and wind up costing more than the unit itself. But it's always nice to save a few bucks up front.
[via TiVo Blog]
Buy a Samsung TV, get a free TiVo HD
If you happen to be shopping for an HDTV and a TiVo HD, Amazon has a deal that could let you kill two birds with stone. Or you know, two digital media products with one credit card payment. Here's how it works. You order both a TiVo HD and a qualifying Samsung HDTV and when you get to checkout, the cost of the TiVo HD should disappear.
The offer's only good through June 9, and the deal is limited to three TiVo HDs per customer. So if you were planning on buying 4 flat screen televisions for $1000+ a pop, it looks like you'll have to pay for the TiVo box to go with that fourth unit.
[via Gizmodo]
Amazon Unbox to offer HD video... eventually
Amazon Unbox is probably one of the simplest non-Apple services for renting and buying downloaded TV shows and movies on a PC. The service is also compatible with TiVo, but I know a few folks who refuse to pay for any video unless it comes in high definition. And so far, HD video has not been available via Amazon Unbox.
Bu it looks like that could be changing. TiVo Vice President Jim Denney tells TV Week that HD capabilities are coming to Amazon "in the not too distant future." And judging from the source, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that means you'll be able to download and watch HD video using a TiVo HD or TiVo Series. As MegaZone at Gizmo Lovers suggests, it's likely that Amazon will use the H.264 codec, which would let the company distribute high definition videos with relatively small file sizes (relative being the key word here).

TiVo offers Blue Moon special: $698 TiVo HD lifetime service bundle
Of course, if you expect to scrap your TiVo within a year or two, you can save a few bucks by picking up a $299 TiVo HD and signing up for an annual or monthly contract. But if you plan to keep your TiVO HD for 3 years or more, it's hard to beat this price. Oh, and TiVo will throw in a plush toy. So there's that to consider.
The offer is good through June 16th, but TiVo loves to extend offers like these. I mean, don't come hunting me down with burning torches if this offer really does expire, but I think it's a safe bet that once this promotion expires, TiVo will offer a different one.
TiVo to add YouTube to its lineup
- TiVo isn't really focusing on Series2 development much anymore
- TiVo may be waiting for YouTube to officially roll out higher resolution videos before launching the service.
Get a TiVo HD for $180 today only
If you're not familiar with Woot, it's an online retailer that sells just one item per day, and as soon as they sell out of that item, it's gone. So this deal ain't going to last.
If you sign up for a 1 year monthly plan, you can also use the code 3FREEHD to get 3 months of free service.
TiVo to kill off Series3, focuses on TiVo HD
Lou Jacob of TiVo reseller DVRUpgrade received a letter from TiVo letting partners know that the company would be accelerating the Series3's end of life process. Jacob then forwarded the letter to TiVo Lovers, so we're going to acknowledge that we're getting our information thirdhand and there may be some inaccuracies.
But reportedly TiVo managed to sell through quite a bit of their Series3 inventory thanks to some ongoing promotions. The problem is there's a component shortage, which means it would be difficult for the company to replace the sold units. So rather than have a temporary Series3 shortage for up to half a year, Tivo has decided instead to focus its efforts on the TiVo HD.
There are still Series3 boxes available, but there's no telling how long before the inventory is exhausted. So if you really had your heart set on getting a TiVo with an OLED front display and a backlit remote control, you might want to think about picking one up soon.
TiVo offers Spring rebates, extends product lifetime service offer
- The TiVo HD product lifetime offer which had been set to expire on January 7 has been extended through April 1.
- The $200 rebate on Series3 boxes and $150 rebate on dual-tuner Series2 units has been extended through April 5 (PDF link).
- The $170 rebate on single-tuner Series2 units has been dropped to $150, and is also available through April 5.
[via TiVo Lovers and WeaKnees Blog]
TiVo extends $199 product lifetime transfer offer through February
The original offer expired on November 8th, but TiVo Lovers points out that TiVo appears to have extended the deal through February 3rd.
Keep in mind, this does not mean that new customers can buy a TiVo and sign up for a lifetime service plan. Rather it means that TiVo Series1 or Series2 owners who have already paid for a product lifetime plan can transfer that plan to a new box for $199. All told, you'll have to shell out $500, since you also have to buy a new $300 TiVo HD to qualify. But if you're looking to upgrade to HDTV, you're going to want a new box anyway, as standard resolution recordings look pretty ugly on a high resolution display.
Modded 2TB TiVo stores 292 hours of HDTV
Unless you're willing to upgrade your box or pay someone else to do the dirty work for you, that is. A stock TiVo Series3 TiVo has a 250GB hard drive which is large enough to store about 30 hours of HDTV or 300 hours of standard definition programs. TiVo reseller WeaKnees has long been offering upgraded TiVos that let you store an obscene number of shows for a slightly less than obscene price.
Now WeaKnees may have topped itself by offering a 2TB TiVo capable of storing 292 hours of programming. If that doesn't sound like much, think about it this way. It would take you 12 days to watch 292 hours worth of television. Sure, you'll zap past the commercials, but that's still 9 days worth of TV.
Things get even crazier when you realize that not every show you record will be in high definition. The 2TB TiVo will store a whopping 2777 hours of standard definition television. You'd have to plop down in front of your TV for 115 days without sleep or bathroom breaks to watch that much TV. The price for all this glory? Just a modest $1599 (after a $200 rebate).
TiVo Series3 adds support for external hard drives
TiVo HD/Series3 owners should notice their boxes downloading version 9.2 of the TiVo software in the next day or so.
Once you get the upgrade you should be able to expand the storage on your TiVo unit by plugging in an external hard drive. No more mucking around inside the case and voiding your warranty. TiVo 9.2 also includes an update for Amazon Unbox users. Now you'll be able to watch videos as soon as you start downloading them without waiting for the download to finish first.
Get a TiVo HD and transfer your lifetime subscription for $199
Of course, if you aren't planning on watching any high definition TV for a while, you might as well keep the box you've got. But if you were going to pick up a $300 TiVo HD anyway, this is a pretty good deal. You'd wind up spending over $150 on a one year subscription for your new box, which makes an extra $199 look like a pretty good deal.
There's no indication TiVo plans to offer newer customers a lifetime service option. This offer is geared at getting older customers to upgrade their boxes.

Carnivorous, alcohol-loving Rick Wakeman was always at odds with the health-food mindset of the other Yes members, though his brash pomp was at the heart of their sound. When he was replaced by Patrick Moraz (late of '70s prog obscurites Refugee and Mainhorse), it freed the band up to dive headlong into the ethereal, spiritually oriented themes that had always been Jon Anderson's stock in trade. Thus, RELAYER consists of three extended cuts (the 22-minute "Gates of Delirium" was once jokingly assessed as the reason punk became necessary). Even on the inside cover's band photo, the Yes boys look like they're in the middle of a prayer meeting. The elaborately structured arrangements take the band's loftier side to previously unreachable heights (even compared to TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS). However, it's all done so skillfully (with much credit going to Moraz) that RELAYER draws you in to its complex sonic web and fully captivates you.

On Becoming a Hairdresser
The Basics
For many, the art of cosmetology is a calling, for others, it is merely a trade that can be counted on as a fall-back position. Whether you are the child who spent his days playing with the hair of dolls or brushing, braiding and fussing with the hair of any willing female who would let you, or are the sensible young woman who wants a skill that she can count on to give her the ability to be flexible in her life, being a hairdresser is a career choice that has as many variations in practice as there are hairstyles.
But lets start with first things first: terminology. Over the years, the people who make it a career to cut, color, and style hair (and generally perform cosmetic enhancements to the appearance) have been called many names. My mother referred to the woman whose salon she visited every other weekend as her beautician. Years later, when chain salons popped up and both men and women could be found in salons in even numbers, the common term was stylist. And yet, the technical term for the classification of the skill sets involved in this particular career path is cosmetologist.
It may seem a minor consideration, but the terms used today are often overlooked in their importance. The titles for the skill sets and licensing for Cosmetologists and other cosmetic and esthetic service workers indicate the degree to which they are trained and certified to provide specific services. The breakdown of these categories and the services which different titles refer to may vary from state to state in the U.S. and may be different in other countries.
For instance, in the U.S., three common cosmetic/esthetic service fields which require licensing are esthetician, nail technician and Master Cosmetologist. The nail technician is as it sounds someone who is trained to give proper manicures and pedicures and to generally care for the hands and feet. They are trained to be able to safely apply and work with artificial nails of different types. However, they are not allowed to perform other cosmetic procedures with a nail technicians license.
The esthetician works with skin care and facials. These services can include body hair removal in the form of waxing, sugaring and epilating; the application of exfoliating and other skin treatments as well as make-up application. They are not, however, allowed to make any physical or chemical changes to the hair of the head.
The Master Cosmetologist, on the other hand, not only is licensed to cut, style and perform chemical treatments on the hair of the head, but is also trained and licensed to perform the services of an esthetician, and nail technician. It is a more comprehensive program of study at
hair and beauty schools
and therefore offers a broader base of ability.
What Makes A Good Hairdresser
The person for whom Cosmetology is a good fit is definitely going to be a people person. You cant go into a service-oriented industry unless you enjoy working with people; at least, one-on-one. You need good social skills and the ability to make small talk and keep a conversation flowing when its appropriate. Someone who makes their living serving the needs of others cant afford to be cranky or have a bad mood. You may not always feel 100% or be totally happy, but you cant put that feeling over onto your clients if you expect to stay in business.
A good cosmetologist also needs an eye for aesthetics, and be able to recognize what others might find appealing. This doesnt necessarily have to be an innate ability, as you can learn the basic rules of design and can follow trends in magazines and learn to recreate popular looks. It does help, however, if you have some artistic sensibility. A cosmetologist who can create and innovate new looks on his own, can really increase his earning potential. Plus a good sense of artistic aesthetic helps in working with haircolor especially.
A good cosmetologist also needs to be organized. There are countless things to keep track of in dealing with a client base. You need to keep records of the services performed for various clients and the products used especially since some products are not compatible and would result in unfortunate reactions if inappropriately or erroneously applied. (For instance, if you dont make a record of the haircolor used on a particular client and use an incompatible shade the next time, you can create some unpleasant tints in the hair.) You must also keep track of scheduling your clients, and when to send reminders for follow-up services, as well as maintaining a working inventory of products and supplies so that you can always provide the services a client may desire.
Finally, a good hairdresser has to be self-motivated and a little aggressive. Of course, you always want to be as courteous with your clients as you can, but you should never hesitate to suggest follow-up appointments for maintenance services, or to suggest additional services that you feel would benefit your client. Sometimes, when you take the soft sell approach and let the client make the first move they can interpret it as you not caring about their business. Always make your client feel that he or she is the most important person to sit in your chair. If you make them feel important, youll become important to them.

MOVING UP: Dallas Clark (44) needs one catch Sunday against the Ravens to break the franchise record for receptions by a tight end. He considers breaking John Mackey's record "a great honor.''

Dallas Clark is in position to one-up the man who helped revolutionize the tight end position, appropriately enough in the city where John Mackey became a Hall of Famer and remains a legend.
With one reception Sunday afternoon in Baltimore, the Indianapolis Colts' veteran breaks Mackey's franchise record for career receptions by a tight end. Don't think for a second, though, that Clark envisions himself surpassing Mackey.

Do Karaoke On The Go With Sony's New E450 Walkman
A/V 92 Views
People love karaoke. Okay, not everyone, but a lot of people do (especially the Japanese). Which is why Sony's new E450 Walkman sounds interesting, though it's sadly only hitting Europe at this point. It's got a Karaoke Mode in which you sync lyrics of a song to the device, which then reduces the singer's vocals in the song using some custom software. Just make sure that you're not bothering other people when you start belting out "Don't Stop Believin'." There's video playback on the device as well, which should get you a ten hour battery life, or fifty hours with music only.
The Walkman E450 is available in August, with pricing currently unknown.

Stuck brakes?
So, for all of you guys that have a sticky brake issue, I have a possible free fix. I just changed out my front rotors and pads. I did the rear a few weeks ago, but the pads looked good up front. A shake just started up when I brake at speed. Knowing the rears to be good I went ahead and did the front.
One of my slider pins (that's the name for them today since I'm brain farting proper terminology) was stuck in a bad way. I wasn't even able to get the caliper off until I took apart the whole assembly. I thought I just had a bad angle with my clamp. So I go through the process get everything changed out and cleaned up. I went to reinstall the caliper and I couldn't. Further investigation showed the slider pin wouldn't budge. Not it, not out.
I used the clamp on it, nothing. I beat it with a hammer, nothing. I tried beating it out with a punch, nothing.
Kinda pissed me off, but some back and forth work with a 13/16 open end wrench and pressing with the punch got it out. It took a good 15 minutes, once I got a system down. Total time on that side was about 45 minutes. Yeah, happy times. Anyhow, I got the pin out, cleaned them both up with a wire wheel, then cleaned out the hole with a bore brush from my gun cleaning kit. .45 brush was a tight fit, but working it around got everything cleaned up. Turned the boots inside out and cleaned the old gunk off. Greased everything up and it all slid nice and easy.
While I didn't have sticky brakes, I could see that being a contributor. It was certainly a contributor to my shaking, as that is now fixed.

Four-by-mile relay challenge: break 16 minutes
The challenge is to break 16 minutes in the men's four-by-mile relay.
Three teams, led by the University of Oregon's "A" squad of Galen Rupp, Andrew Wheating, Matt Centrowitz and Scott Wall, will take part in the quest in the final event of Saturday's Oregon Twilight Meet at Hayward Field.
Race time is 8:30 p.m.
If the Ducks are successful, they will shatter the American, Hayward Field and collegiate records in the seldom-run event.
Technically speaking, any such mark would officially be known as a "best" because the four-by-mile relay is no longer afforded record status by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
No matter.
The goal is to run fast and UO director of track and field Vin Lananna knows that it will take good weather conditions and a supportive crowd for any one of the teams to have a shot of dipping under 16 minutes.
With that in mind, he plans to offer some help.
"For this event only, we're going to let the crowd onto the track," Lananna said. "If we can generate enough excitement and enthusiasm from the crowd to get these guys fired up, then I think they can do it."
Although Lananna and his staff are still tinkering with the exact order of the "A" team, he said the Ducks would also enter a "B" team which will include Shadrack Biwott, James Withers and "two other guys we haven't figured out yet."
The Eugene branch of Oregon Track Club Elite will be the third team in the race. They're expected to bring Stephen Pifer, Gabe Jennings, Tom Brooks and Russell Brown to the starting line.
"This will be a fun exercise," Lananna said. "We were looking for stuff for our guys to do heading into the Pac-10 championships and we thought this would be a fun opportunity. I know the kids are excited about it."
That would be an understatement.
Even though breaking 16 minutes would set new American (16:08.54), Hayward Field (16:05.0) and collegiate (16:04.54) standards, the Ducks believe the "world best" of 15:49.08 set by Ireland in 1985 is still in play.
"I was thinking about that earlier," said Wheating, a junior, who clocked his mile PR of 3:58.16 last season.
"If you figure we've got three guys that can probably go right around 3:55 for a mile, that knocks off 15 seconds, right there. If we can get a guy to run 4 minutes flat, there you go, that's pretty impressive."
Said Lananna: "Andrew is the eternal optimist. That's why I love him."
You can read the entire story in Saturday's Register-Guard, plus check out a complete meet schedule and updates on the Pac-10 men's and women's multi-event championships.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005.

FedEx welcomes first Boeing 777 Freighter
September 22, 2009
By Wayne Risher
FedEx and Boeing on Tuesday introduced FedEx's first 777 Freighter, a game-changing cargo carrier that is key to the express delivery company's global growth strategy.
FedEx officials said the plane, christened Saad (pronounced SAHD) after the son of a company auditor in New Jersey, should be making a 2,000-plus-mile flight from Washington state to Memphis shortly.
The 2091/2 -foot-long plane, with a wingspan of 212 feet, 7 inches, is destined to become a fixture in the skies over FedEx hubs; the company ordered 30 with an option to buy another 15. A new hangar was built off Winchester at Memphis International Airport to house the 777 and other aircraft.
It features longer range, better fuel economy and lower emissions than the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, a transcontinental freighter it is replacing. FedEx officials say it will carry the company's service to new heights, eliminating refueling stops and shaving one to three hours off transit times between Asia and North America.
FedEx officials traveled to Boeing's factory in Everett, Wash., to celebrate completion of the plane, which is scheduled to begin flying between continents in April after several months of flight checks and shorter routes.
Boeing said it is the ninth 777 Freighter delivery and the first to an American global freight carrier.
"The 777 Freighter will allow FedEx Express to operate point-to-point routes that save valuable flying time, coupled with outstanding fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility," said Kevin Schemm, a Boeing vice president.
"The 777F is a game-changer," added Michael L. Ducker, president, international, of FedEx Express. "Our customers around the world will benefit from more point-to-point routes and the shorter flight times, increasing their competitiveness in the global marketplace."
FedEx officials said shorter transit time means later pickup deadlines in markets served by the 777s.
"The Boeing 777 is an extraordinary testament to our dedication to fleet enhancement, allowing FedEx Express to provide unmatched services to our customers around the world," said David J. Bronczek, president and CEO of FedEx Express.
FedEx spokesman Jim McCluskey said, "It's a technological masterpiece, and it's going to elevate us competitively in the global market that we're in."
McCluskey said FedEx plans to have four 777s in service by April and 15 in the fleet by the end of fiscal 2014.
The 777 orders also have played a role in FedEx's battle against a proposed change in the labor law covering FedEx Express workers.
FedEx made the order for the second 15 planes and 15 options contingent on Express workers continuing to be covered under the Railway Labor Act.
The 777F's price tag has been estimated at about $225 million apiece.
A posting on FedEx's Citizenship Blog said the first 777 is named for the son of Kashif Zia, an input auditor who joined FedEx in 1998 at the Newark Airport. Zia said Saad means "good luck" and "lucky."
All 650 planes in the FedEx fleet are named for children of team members.

David Baldacci
David Baldacci's Chinese Horoscope
About Chinese Horoscope
The Chinese Zodiac also knows as the Shēngxiào Chinese 生肖 relates an animal for each year and its attributes which are used in a twelve 12 year mathematical cycle. Popular in many East Asian countries like Korea, Japan, and China. The Chinese zodiac has many similarities to the Western zodiac, including the twelve 12 month cycle and both label names of animals. There are major differences between both the Chinese zodiac and Western zodiac. The 12 part cycle from the Chinese zodiac refers to years, instead of months like in the Western zodiac. Also the Chinese zodiac uses 12 animals, where in the Western zodiac not all signs are animals. In the Chinese zodiac, the animals are not associated with constellations. The 12 animals found in the Chinese zodiac are, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. There are also animal signs for hours known as secret animals, days known as true animals, and months known as inner animals. In Chinese astrology, animal signs represent how you present yourself, and what others perceive you as being.
Ox, Dragon, Monkey
Symbol Meaning
