Sony Vaio Z: The thinner, lighter, Thunderbolt friendly Apple MacBook Air alternative
Sony has announced the launch of a new 13-inch Sony Vaio laptop, the Sony Vaio Z, that is thinner and lighter than the current Apple Macbook Air, but will cost almost twice the price; £2,699.
Well and truly taking the fight to Apple, the new Sony model will weigh just 1.18 kg (compared to 1.32 kg for the same sized MacBook Air) and be just 16.65mm thin (compared to 17mm). The complete dimensions are Approx. 210 x 16.65 x 330mm.
Sony has also managed to fit the Vaio Z with a backlit keyboard, something that the MacBook Air doesn't currently offer (it's rumoured a new model is due any day now).
"On-the-go usability is enhanced further by the backlit keyboard with extra-wide palm rest and ergonomic new 'button-less' touchpad," says Sony, adding: "With a resolution of 1600x900, the 13.1-inch VAIO Display Premium features an anti-reflective coating that cuts glare from direct light sources and ensures crisp colour reproduction."
Those happy to splash the cash will get an Intel Core i7-2620M 2.70GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.40GHz), 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and up to 256GB SSD RAID storage tucked away in it's ultra thin casing.
As with previous Sony laptops, the model will feature Quick Boot that promises to saves precious time when you're in a hurry, loading Windows 7 Professional up to 50 per cent quicker than conventional notebooks.
Embedded VAIO 'everywair' 3G WWAN on selected models connects via your mobile broadband operator. It will also have a biometric sensor to log in and unlock.
Those worried that the new thin size means they lose battery life, or a DVD drive and other input and connectivity options shouldn't. Sony is one step ahead of your concerns and has created the "Power Media Dock" and "Sheet Battery" ready to be snapped up as optional extras.
The Power Media Dock is described by Sony as a "monolithic expansion module" an brings with it Thunderbolt connectivity (labelled by its original name Light Peak), HDMI and VGA connectivity to connect up to four displays, and 1GB of RAM extra graphics courtesy of AMD to boost overall graphics performance. It also comes with a DVD or Blu-ray drive.
The Sheet Battery, as the name suggests, is a battery that you can place under the main chassis of the laptop giving you a further 7 hours in addition to the Sony Vaio Z's already impressive 7 hour battery giving you 14 hours in total.
There's a HD web camera powered by Exmor technology for video chat and those that really want to push the boat out can opt for the optional Full HD (1920 x 1080) LCD screen.
The new 2011 VAIO Z Series of ultra-portable performance notebook PCs is available from the end of July 2011 and cost over £1300 more than Apple's top of the line MacBook Air model.

Comment Re:Yes, but is is running well? (Score 1) 165
This is a problem with Windows 10 in general - vast areas of empty white space on a PC because it has a widescreen monitor which a mobile phone doesn't. Metro tiles which may make sense for a touch device but are just awful for a PC. Calling everything "apps" instead of programs (a bugbear of mine). And IMHO a terrible visual refresh that sucks all the colour out of the icons and replaces them with monochrome line art (icons are white-on-blue or white-on-red or white-on-green, settings screen icons are blue-on-white or blue-on-grey, etc.)
How anyone can call this an improvement on windows 7's UI I don't know.

Carrot Muffins with Pesto
- Active Time 46m
Makes 10 muffins
Rich pesto is the surprising layer within these moist carrot muffins.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 beaten egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup finely shredded peeled carrot
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons purchased basil pesto (such as Buitoni®)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper baking cups (you will only use 10 cups); set aside. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center. In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg, milk, carrot and oil. Add the egg mixture to the dry. Stir just till moistened. (The batter should be lumpy.)
Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup. Top with about 1/2 teaspoon of pesto, then with remaining batter, filling each cup two-thirds full. Sprinkle each muffin with about 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for about 20 minutes, or till golden brown. Remove the muffins from pan; cool slightly on racks.

Newly Adapted for the Modern Reader by David PurdieIvanhoe follows Wilfred of Ivanhoe, part of one of the few Saxon families at a time when English nobility was dominated by the Normans, who is out of favour with his father for his allegiance to the Norman king, Richard the Lionheart.

The Supreme Sacrifice to Hearts at WarIn November 1914, Hearts led the Scottish First Division. In the middle of a debate about the morality of continuing professional football during the First World War and a campaign to shame footballers into joining up, eleven Hearts players enlisted in Sir George McCrae's battalion on 25 November. Hearts supporters and players and supporters from myriad other clubs flocked to join as well.
$8.69Rocks may seem like boring, static objects—until you discover that a rock can spark a fire, glow in the dark, and provide shelters of all shapes and sizes. Laura Purdie Salas's lyrical rhyming text and Violeta Dabija's glowing illustrations show how rocks decorate and strengthen the world around them.

How to find a good fit Realtor in Blacksburg, VA?
Spagani, just following up with you about this message. If you would like to reach out, certainly feel free to reach out via my Zillow page. [Content removed by Zillow Moderator. Please see our Good Neighbor Policy]Sorry you've had trouble in the past, glad to speak with you privately to see if we might be able to help. No obligation, no expectation.- Jeremy
How to find a good fit Realtor in Blacksburg, VA?
Spagani, I'm sorry to hear that, but you're right - you've got to find a good fit. I tell clients all the time, you're gonna "date" your agent for a few months, you have to be sure you like them that much.If you'd like to take this off Zillow, I'd be glad to set up a time to meet at my office and discuss. My style isn't for everyone, of course, but I'm happy to walk you through some of the ways I like to handle a buyer search, and let you decide whether or not that works for you. Be wary of situations where folks will say "I can find you an agent" ... you want to find someone that YOU have selected, and vetted.Glad to talk more. [Content removed by Zillow Moderator. Please see our Good Neighbor Policy] if Zillow will allow me to post that, or you can reach me through my profile above. No obligations, no games.- Jeremy
Hi Cooter42 - your situation isn't unique to Zillow. I wrote about this back in 2007 [website hotlink removed by Zillow moderator]), the disparity between market value - what a buyer says your home is worth - and what the tax assessor says it's worth is way too broad. Zillow has improved its' algorithm since 2007, but it's still not accurate, particularly in Blacksburg. If you look at this link (http://www.zillow.com/how ... acyVA.htm), Blacksburg isn't even included in the list of areas they're tracking, so it's very hard to get information that's terribly valuable.If you're really interested in a market value assessment, I can help with that. Heck, even if you're just curious, I'll be glad to look at it sometime - you can reach me at [website removed by Zillow moderator]All the best!
Can you provide more details including structure, build year, home association fee, etc?
The home was built in 1968, and is a two-story Dutch Colonial design. The main living area of the house is on the upper level, with a lower level centered around a den w/ fireplace, laundry room and half bath, and the two-car garage with additional storage cubbies. There is NO association fee for this section of Northside Park.
Can you provide more details including structure, build year, home association fee, etc?
Can you provide more details including structure, build year, home association fee, etc?
This was a question I recently received from a Zillow user that I thought would be helpful for everyone. The home is a frame-built home with Southern exposure - we have no information on whether the exterior walls are 2x4 or 2x6, but the home is both brick and siding exterior. It was built in 1968 as part of the original Northside Park subdivision, and does NOT have an association fee.

Financial 411: Bleak Forecast for Benefit Programs
There's more bad news for Social Security and Medicare. The economy, rising health care costs and a drop in taxes have all shortened the life of the two entitlement programs.
That is, unless Congress and the White House take action. According to the annual trustees report, Medicare will run out of funds in 2024, five years earlier than expected. The Social Security trust fund will run dry in 2036, one year before officials thought it would. The trustees for the programs say today's news underscores the need for reform.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, chair of the trustee's panel, says larger, more difficult adjustments will help reduce uncertainty.
Inflation concerns
Rising food and gas prices are pushing inflation to its highest level in two and a half years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says inflation rose by more than 3 percent since April of last year. In New York, it rose slightly less than the national rate.
But even as consumers pay more, businesses are actually holding off on raising prices even higher as wholesale prices are increasing even faster. WNYC's "Slice Index" -- an informal survey of pizzerias in the 5 boroughs -- finds a slice of cheese pizza is pretty much holding steady at $2.50 on average. This, despite many owners telling WNYC that they are paying much higher prices for ingredients, like olive oil and cheese.
Stocks fell today, the second weekly loss in a row. Friday, it was worries about Europe's on-going debt crisis that left investors nervous.
The Dow Jones fell 100 points to close at 12,596. The S&P 500 lost 11 points, ending the day at 1,338. The Nasdaq fell 35 points, to finish off at 2,828.
Wall Street to the Garment District
This week, wiretaps made the case against a leading hedge fund manager, the governor continues shaking up "business as usual" in Albany and we're paying more for food and gas, but the Federal Reserve doesn't seem too worried. Also in New York's garment district, the question might not be, "Who are you wearing?" but "Who's still here?"
Greg David, Director of the Business and Economics Reporting Program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, shares his insight on this week's latest financial news, including analysis of Wall Street accountability, the state budget, and concerns surrounding several high-profile designers leaving the Garment district.

tasty--definitely a keeper recipeflag if inappropriate
Here it is Nov 4 and I am still picking Swiss Chard. Served it over Mark Bittman's polenta. Let's just say it was a fabulous dish. The carmelized onions made it taste like I had added sugar. I added parmesan cheese to the polenta and used next to no salt. Perhaps I'll get in another harvest before we get a deep frost.flag if inappropriate
This was a revelation! I never ate chard before and we loved it. My four-year-old ate it until it was gone. I made it a second time and had to avoid onions and garlic so used green onions and it was yummy still. 4-year-old added liberal balsamic.flag if inappropriate
Very good side dish, evebody liked it. Next time i'll put less butterflag if inappropriate
This worked well for me. I used only olive oil, not much, and added a splash of good balsamic to punch it up.flag if inappropriate
I have to disagree with all the rave reviews. Made this last night as written with chard from the garden and thought it was just OK. We really like chard, but didn't find that the onion added all that much. It was really pretty bland, and way too buttery for our tastes, as well. If I were to make it again I'd use just olive oil, maybe shallots instead of onions.flag if inappropriate
Delicious. The 2nd time I made it, I soaked some golden raisins in vermouth and threw those in as well. Wow.flag if inappropriate
Yum! Used chard right from the garden. It was more tender than store-bought, so it didn't need to cook as long. The stems were outrageous! Only deviation - didn't use butter - just olive oil. Saved the butter for the polenta. Made "buttery Polenta" on this site, adding a little more water and 1/3 c grated parm. Served chard on top of polenta. Beautiful and excellent. Could say it was very italian or southern!flag if inappropriate
This was fantastic! A friend brought over some gorgeous garden-fresh chard so we found this recipe and gave it a whirl. I loved it - tossed last night's grilled salmon on the top and it was delicious. I will definitely be eating more chard!flag if inappropriate
Delicious. I used less salt than called for but more garlic. Leftovers, drained of any remaining liquid, are great mixed into scrambled eggs.flag if inappropriate

IMDB says that Moffet was supposed to play Tom Baker.
There was a plan, possibly on the cutting room floor, or this was misdirection.

Tom Franklin's Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter begins with one of the most compelling first lines I've heard in a while: "The Rutherford girl had been missing for eight days when Larry Ott returned home and found a monster waiting in his house." From there, Kevin Kenerly's expert narration winds us through the empty storefronts, rusted out mailboxes, and weeded trailer lots of Chabot, Mississippi, where Ott pays the price every day for a 25-year-old crime no one can prove he committed. Silas "32" Jones lives on the opposite side of the law as the sheriff of this "hamlet", where he continues to build on his hero status (earned on the high school baseball field) by doing expert police work.
In addition to the murder, Franklin has woven into this tale a Faulknerian family mystery complete with unexplained photographs, hand-me-down coats, and shotguns earned in fistfights. 32's efforts to solve the Rutherford girl's murder lead him much further back into his past than he is prepared to go, back to a one-room cabin on the Ott property where he lived as a child with his mother.
Kenerly speaks in a journalistic tone showing neither judgment of Ott's isolated, suspicious lifestyle nor admiration of 32's heroism. A vehicle for the story in earnest, Kenerly allows us to follow Franklin's carefully placed clues about the Rutherford girl's murder and Larry and 32's mysterious and tangled past. Kenerly does this not only without giving anything away, but by adding a detached detective tone, carving out a space in the story for our emotions.
To the open-minded listener, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is an opportunity to atone for our playground sins not necessarily to straighten out our crooked letters, but to be redeemed into something more whole. Sarah Evans Hogeboom
In a small Mississippi town, two men are torn apart by circumstance and reunited by tragedy in this resonant new novel from the award-winning author of the critically-acclaimed Hell at the Breech.
Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were unlikely boyhood friends. Larry was the child of lower middle-class white parents, Silas the son of a poor, single, black mother - their worlds as different as night and day. Yet a special bond developed between them in Chabot, Mississippi. But within a few years, tragedy struck. In high school, a girl who lived up the road from Larry had gone to the drive-in movie with him and nobody had seen her again. Her stepfather tried to have Larry arrested, but no body was found and Larry never confessed. The incident shook up the town, including Silas, and the bond the boys shared was irrevocably broken.
Almost 30 years have passed. Larry, a mechanic, lives a solitary existence in Chabot, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion, the looks of blame that have shadowed him. Silas left home to play college baseball, but now he's Chabot's constable. The men have few reasons to cross paths, and they rarely do - until fate intervenes again.
Another teenaged girl has disappeared, causing rumors to swirl once again. Now, two men who once called each other friend are finally forced to confront the painful past they've buried for too many years.

"A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind." (David Wroblewski, New York Times best-selling author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle)
"A lazy river of a novel"
Though I was interested in the story and the characters, I found the novel to lazily meander through time with no real twists or turns in the plot. Once all the players were introuced the plot was predictable to the end.
"Could not put it down!"
It's been a long time since a book grabbed me like this one. I just couldn't put it down. The reader is great and the story just kept building.
tired teacher
"This mystery is no mystery"
Oh, this book had the potential of being a total knock-out. It has a great premise, good characters, good writing, all the ingredients, but it never had a plot twist or a surprise. I knew what would happen almost from the get go. It was so obvious as to be almost embarrassing. I kept reading because I just knew some fabulous twist was on the next page. It just never came. Taken from a relationship standpoint, it was pretty good, but what could have been a fabulous murder mystery ended up being no mystery at all.
One redeeming factor was that the narrator was really good.
"Good story, excellent characters and narration"
The atmosphere of the small southern town, the characters and the ways their lives intersect are all developed into an original story that is convincing and winning. It is at times a sad story but not dark or depressing, or smothering, as some southern fiction can be. This is a case where the narration adds so much to the story. I think Kevin Kenerly does a marvelous job, especially with the policeman Silas '32' Jones. When we're with 32, we're right with the world.
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"Deep in the Heart of Dixie"
Mississippi in the 1960s, when southerners were divided by race, Silas and Larry, a colored boy and a white boy became friends . . . a secret friendship that both boys cherish. Children don't see color, they see love. Adults teach them how to hate and how to lie. The sins of the father reach out to try to destroy innocent children, long after fathers are dead in the grave . . . But truth always lies just beneath the surface, a faint whisper, waiting to be heard . . .
"Reviews fooled me again"
I agree with Sherrie Dunford's review, so I'll direct you there. The reviews from those I follow made this an easy choice for me, but I was very disappointed. The reader was great, but I can't recommend the book. Three stars is being generous, actually.
Just D
As an AA female it got a bit tiresome having to hear the lovely and expressive "N" word said so many times and with such fervor to help me understand the true nature of the natives and their mindsets in this story at a time in our history when blacks were not houseguests normally received with opened arms.
I was born in Mississippi and spent many summers at my grandparents on one of their farms and was sheltered from the brutality and inhumanity that pervaded the south in my youth as I grew up in Illinois. However, in all truthfulness, I personally never actually experienced the racism that is well documented having occurred in Ole Miss, I received most of my lessons in Illinois. I knew it existed and that it was explosively dangerous, the news was very informative in this regard. My sole experience with it there came when a bunch of us kids were ushered to a back entrance at a movie theater and 'made' to sit in the balcony. It was cool to me, I always sat in the balcony at home anyway, but entering through the back was a bit creepy.
I didn't think that racism put Mississippi on the map, Elvis did that, so at 59, listening to this book is a grim reminder of just how far we truly have not advanced. We've made some progress, no doubt, but it left me unmoved. I say this because my great-grandmother was Caucasian and married to my great-grandfather, a black man, in a state that hung folks on trees like freshly washed laundry; this book didn't surprise me at all. I knew early on where it was going...
I think this book could have really delved deeper into interpersonal relationships, both interracial and intraracial ones, more substantially. It could've depicted stronger how daily life was for biracial persons trying to live innocuously between two worlds at differing points in time. It could've given a more realistic perspective of how crime really was handled by small town sheriffs and their deputies and how the law and the white citizens dealt with their 'perceived' notions regarding black on white crime then. The book touched on aspects of it, but what if it had gone deeper, more bolder and challenged 'US' in the now?
I was just hoping for so much more. I was sorely disappointed and this book left me u-n-i-m-p-r-e-crooked letter-crooked letter-e-d.
A bit late to wonder on this point now isn't it?
The performance was very well done.
I will not recommend it.
great reader
"Good, but hoped for more"
I don't feel like listening to this was a waste of time but it is not a book/audio recording I would recommend.
There was not enough difference between the character's voices. Silas and Angie's voices were excellent, every other woman and man sounded exactly alike.
I would enjoy a prequel more than a sequel with the story of Alice, Carl and Ina being fleshed out.
I wanted to love this novel but only liked it. Franklin blatantly telegraphed all of the revelations. There was no a-ha moment, nor was the resolution of either murder all that interesting.
Adams Consulting Group
"Intriging story that kept me guessing."
The story had many surprises and kept me in my car longer than needed many times because I didn't want to stop listening. The narrator changed tones for every character, he was amazing, like watching a professional performance in the theater. I highly recommend this book.
This book had been recommended to me for quite a while and when I found it on sale on audible I grabbed it and am I glad I did! I couldn't stop listening; the narration was mesmerizing and the story was as well. The characters were so well drawn I felt sympathy for all of them, even the bad guys. A drama, a thriller, a mystery. This book has it all!

The research, which has consisted of an international Phase III clinical trial conducted across several centres of research, has run for 7 months and involved 323 patients from different countries. These patients have an average age of 42 and for the most part are women (76%), a description that accurately reflects the profile of patients with chronic urticaria.
At 4-week intervals over a period of three months, participants were randomly given doses of 75,150, and 300mg of Omalizumab or a placebo drug using the double-blind method and their condition monitored. "In week 12, we can see a significant difference between the groups that receive doses of 150mg or 300mg of Omalizumab and those who receive a dose of 75mg or the placebo drug. The itching and the urticaria totally disappeared in 23% of patients administered a dose of 150mg, and in 53% of patients administered 300mg of Omalizumab", explains Dr. Gimnez Arnau. She also adds that "the therapeutic objective is the full remission of symptoms in order to continue the therapy over a number of months before gradually phasing it out, resulting in the complete elimination of the disease".
This drug, for which US and European authorities will begin the registration process for treating this condition, is superior to the immunosupressors currently used to treat serious cases in its very fast effectiveness in 90% of patients and ease of use (once a month), as well as the fact that it has many fewer side effects. If registered, it could be available for use in treating chronic urticaria in 2014.
This is the first of three international clinical trials and, while the results thus far are very promising, further research is required to determine the exact role of this drug, its possible side effects, and the doses to be administered. This research gives hope to many people who have been waiting years for a solution, people who suffer

Imaging Device Makes Chip-Sized Cameras a Real-World Possibility
Published: May 27, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
But with semiconductor features constantly shrinking, it has become possible to put an amplifier inside each picture cell to increase the charge, allowing it to be transferred off the chip on a common wire and making the CMOS approach practical.
Still, some attempts to develop such sensors have floundered because the images have been poorer in quality and resolution than those captured by C.C.D.'s. A particularly big problem has been noise, which produces unwanted lines or dots on the image.
So far, CMOS imagers have been used in only a few applications where low cost has been more important than image quality. VLSI Vision's sensor is used in the Kidcam, a black-and-white camcorder for children that is sold by Tyco Toys.
But now the quality is improving and the chips are starting to advance into mainstream products.
The Toshiba camera uses a CMOS imaging chip with 330,000 pixels, standard for consumer-level cameras. The camera, which is expected to sell for about $500 in the United States, can be plugged directly into a card slot in a personal computer to transfer the images for display on a monitor.
The Vivitar Corporation, a camera equipment maker based in Newbury Park, Calif., is introducing a digital still camera using a CMOS imaging chip from VLSI Vision. It will capture 800,000 pixels, the first such camera with that resolution to have a price of less than $500, said Alexis Gerard, publisher of Future Image Report, a Burlingame, Calif., newsletter on digital cameras.
At a technical conference in February, Toshiba announced that it had developed a CMOS imaging chip containing 1.3 million pixels, the highest resolution now supported by monitors.
Not everyone is so gung-ho on CMOS imagers. With C.C.D.'s, ''the picture quality is much better than with CMOS image sensors,'' said Nobukazu Teranishi, a senior manager in the sensor research laboratory of the NEC Corporation.
Sony, which has produced 50 million C.C.D.'s to date and now churns out nearly a million a month, is increasing its manufacturing capacity to meet increased demand.
A problem for producers of CMOS imagers is the head start that C.C.D. makers have. ''The C.C.D. is very mature technology and they have a very strong marketing capability,'' said Junichi Nakamura, a researcher at the Olympus Optical Company, which has a small research project on CMOS imagers.
But Vern Klein, who is in charge of selling LSI Logic's new camera chip to digital camera makers, disagreed. ''All our customers believe that CMOS sensors will be the way forward,'' he said.

Police: 4 dead, 4 injured in Ark. shooting
A gunman who shot and killed three people and injured four more in northeast Arkansas was an acquaintance or friend of the victims
Associated Press
JONESBORO, Ark. — A gunman who shot and killed three people and injured four more in northeast Arkansas was an acquaintance or friend of the victims, police said Sunday, but noted the motive still is unknown.
Jonesboro Police Sgt. Doug Formon identified the shooter as Porfirio Hernandez, 40, who recently had been released from a mental health treatment facility. Formon did not give further details in an email to The Associated Press.
Formon said police responded to a shooting about 1 p.m. Saturday. Chrisanto Islas, 38, and Floza Davila, 12, were killed there and four others were injured. Survivors and witnesses at the house identified Hernandez as the sole gunman and provided a description of him and the vehicle he was driving.
Police said three people are in critical condition in hospitals in Memphis, Tennessee: Augusten Hernandez, 43; Ayde Davila, 36; and Anquel Islas, 8. A 10-year-old boy, Brayam Davila, is in stable condition.
Jonesboro Police Chief Mike Yates said Sunday at a news conference there were several other people in the home who managed to run from the gunfire, television station KAIT reported.
Yates said that all but one of the victims was shot in the head, and Brayam Davila was shot in the hip. Hernandez said nothing as he opened fire and continued shooting through the home, according to witnesses.
Yates said it appears Hernandez had to reload the .357 magnum handgun because of the weapon's six-bullet capacity, KAIT reported.
About 20 minutes after the first shooting, police responded to a second shooting about three miles away, where they found Richardo Lopez, 31, dead. A witness described a vehicle matching the description from the Jonesboro home.
Investigators then received a report that a car matching the description of the shooter's had been located on a rural county road. Deputies discovered Hernandez dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
It wasn't immediately clear how Porfirio Hernandez and the seven victims knew one another.

NPR cancels Talk of the Nation, pairs with WBUR in bid to bolster middays
After more than two decades on the air, NPR's Talk of the Nation will come to an end in June to make way for the newsmag Here & Now.
Current.org (http://current.org/tag/wbur/page/3/)
After more than two decades on the air, NPR's Talk of the Nation will come to an end in June to make way for the newsmag Here & Now.
This item has been updated and reposted with additional information. After more than two decades on the air, NPR's Talk of the Nation will come to an end in June to make way for the newsmag Here & Now, which will be revamped under a new partnership between NPR and Boston's WBUR-FM. Talk of the Nation will air its last episode June 28, ending a 21-year-long run. The call-in talk show has helped launch big names in public media, including original host John Hockenberry, This American Life's Ira Glass and PBS NewsHour's Ray Suarez. NPR Chief Content Officer Kinsey Wilson said the network decided to end Talk of the Nation because a newsmagazine might pull a bigger audience in midday.
A growing number of public radio stations can now be found on mobile devices, their signature icons wedged between Angry Birds and Google Maps.
Boston NPR news station 90.9 WBUR-FM is wading into the Cape Cod resort market and going toe-to-toe with WGBH's network of stations with its planned purchase of 92.7 WMVY-FM on Martha's Vineyard. WBUR is buying the Tisbury, Mass.-based station for an undisclosed amount from Housatonic, Mass.-based Aritaur Communications Inc. The sale is expected to close in early 2013 pending FCC approval. Now broadcasting an adult alternative format, WMVY, known as mvyradio, will switch to WBUR's news format, reaching up to 60,000 listeners with a 3,000-watt signal. The market includes Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and coastal towns including New Bedford, Fall River, Falmouth and Westport. "We believe that the islands, Cape Cod and SouthCoast are important parts of the community we cover and serve," said WBUR General Manager Charlie Kravetz, in a statement.
A reporter for the NPR station based in Greeley, Colo., Hood earned the award for Investigating Colorado's Online K–12 Schools, a three-part report about for-profit education. The report found that the state's largest full-time online school was operating under questionable state oversight and delivering poor academic results. It aired in fall 2011. "Her reports demonstrated the likely abuse of millions of dollars in public funds for an online education that was producing decidedly inferior results while at the same time enriching the for-profit management company," said Schorr Prize judge Philip Balboni, c.e.o. of Global Post. Hood has also contributed to NPR's Morning Edition, the National Radio Project's Making Contact and Voice of America.
Underwriters of public radio programs increasingly want to link their names more closely to particular stories and reporting projects, according to station executives, a trend that is requiring journalists to be more vigilant in fighting perceptions of potential conflicts of interest.
In a move signalling its ambitions to extend its clout and influence in public radio, Boston's WGBH has acquired Public Radio International, the Minnesota-based program distributor of radio programs such as This American Life, The World and The Takeaway. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but the sale will help to stabilize the nonprofit program distributor PRI, which ran an operating deficit of $2 million in 2011, according to PRI spokesperson Julia Yager. "This is a deal borne out of shared visions," Yager said in an interview with Current. PRI began examining its options last year as its leadership considered the implications of various funding scenarios for public media. PRI looked for partners to help it continue distributing radio programming and found that WGBH was best aligned with its own mission and values.
NPR announced June 8 that Tom and Ray Magliozzi, hosts of the popular and long-running Car Talk, will lay down their wrenches and stop recording new episodes as of October. The show will continue, however, with producers repackaging calls mined from Car Talk's 25-years-deep archive.
... Building and maintaining a meaningful social media presence requires a significant investment of time — and it's not always easy to measure the return on that investment. What does social media success look like, anyway? Is it when you reach 1,000 followers? 10,000? ...

Surely this government could also be funding a creation science think tank, an anti-vaccination research centre, a gay conversion institute and a 9/11 conspiracy colloquium?

Can capitalism address climate change?
As James Plested argues in Red Flag:
The world's richest 85 people alone account for $2.1 trillion – equivalent to the combined wealth of the poorest half of the population. The top 1 percent is worth a whopping $134 trillion. It would only take a small fraction of this amount to drive the kind of large-scale rapid shift towards sustainability that we need. The technology and resources to do so are available. The money is there.

The US and China: a deal to save the planet – or to wreck it?
Posted by John, November 18th, 2014 - under Campaign against Climate Change, Climate change, Jonathan Neale.
Comments: 1
This is an appalling deal. Let's look at the numbers.
The US has agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 28% below 2005 levels by 2030. But 2005 was the highest year ever for US emissions. They have already declined 10% in 8 years. Obama is promising that they will decline another 18% in 15 years.
China has agreed to reach peak emissions by 2030. Chinese economic growth has been running 10% a year. If that growth continued, Chinese emissions in 2030 would be four times what they are now. But economic growth will not continue at that level, and there will be some progress in energy efficiency. Still, this is a promise to roughly double Chinese emissions by 2030.

Fans of Geoffrey Moore's Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado will certainly be attracted to The Chasm Companion, a step-by-step manual by longtime Moore associate Paul Wiefels that lays out specific ways to apply his popular tech-oriented business principles in our fast-changing world. But even those who never warmed to the earlier works--which proposed a pragmatic path for successfully navigating the ever-moving environment of "disruptive technologies that force changes in both strategy and behavior"--could find this book appealing. Designing The Chasm Companion as a hands-on field guide, Wiefels opens by explaining six "inflection points" in high-tech market development (the Early Market, the Chasm, the Bowling Alley, the Tornado, Main Street, Total Assimilation) that he and Moore insist everyone must carefully watch and properly react to as internal and external conditions evolve. He then outlines models and tools developed in the consulting practice he co-founded with Moore that enable individual corporations to carefully craft relevant strategies that they can align correctly with the appropriate market phases defined earlier. Finally, he presents initiatives (strategy validation, whole product management, marketing communications planning, and field engagement strategy) to help these firms actually implement their plans. Graphics and sidebars help Wiefels drive his points home clearly. --Howard Rothman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Wiefels and partner Geoffrey Moore are cofounders of the Chasm Group, a Silicon Valley high-tech consulting firm. This is a guide to understanding and implementing the market-development strategies described in Moore's best-sellers Inside the Tornado (1995) and Crossing the Chasm (1999). The partners have developed a model called the technology adoption life cycle (TALC), which describes how communities of people adopt innovations and integrate them into mainstream life. The chasm phase is a product-development black hole, a period of time in which products that show promise are ignored by the public at large. Other stages described on the path to total assimilation by the culture are the bowling alley, the tornado, and Main Street. The book offers real-life management formulas for guiding high-tech innovations through these treacherous phases of development. Wiefels' experience in the field gives readers an edge in anticipating the pitfalls unique to each phase. His introduction to the TALC is clear and informative; the descriptions of market-development strategies are exhaustive and detailed. David Siegfried

Having starred in numerous action films, 77-year-old Dharmendra was often referred to as the 'He-Man' as well as the 'Action King' of Hindi cinema.
"He was like a superman. I felt like he was the strongest man on earth. I was never bullied because I was Dharmendra's son," Bobby said.
Bobby, the younger one in the second generation of Deols, always looks up to his father.
"Fathers always give tips. My dad also gives me but at the end he says the decision has to be mine. Dad says do whatever your heart says is right and I am following this in my career. I feel lucky that he is my dad," the 46-year-old actor said.
Both Bobby and elder brother Sunny have shared screen space with Dharmendra in films like Yamla Pagla Deewana, Apne and Sunny.
Recalling an incident with Dharmendra, Sunny Deol said, "I have done quite a few films with dad. I remember during the shoot of 'Kshatriya' there was a sword fight and I accidentally hit him on his knee. I was so petrified that I fell down."
The three Deols will be seen in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, a sequel to the 2011 film of the same name. The trio is reprising their roles in the movie, set to hit cinema houses on June 7.
