Seth points to this article, an excellent look at a new resources and how we handle them.
"And this is the other thing about the size of the cognitive surplus we're talking about. It's so large that even a small change could have huge ramifications. Let's say that everything stays 99 percent the same, that people watch 99 percent as much television as they used to, but 1 percent of that is carved out for producing and for sharing. The Internet-connected population watches roughly a trillion hours of TV a year... One per cent of that is 100 Wikipedia projects [the whole of Wikipedia] per year worth of participation.
I think that's going to be a big deal. Don't you?"

|Portable social groups: willingness to communicate, interpersonal communication gratifications, and cell phone use among young adults
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
|This study looked at young adult cell phone usage patterns. Results of a survey of 182 students at a large southern university revealed that respondents typically used their phones an average of 10.5 hours per week – the overwhelming majority of that with traditional calling. Features and services that were regularly utilised related to interpersonal communication. Limited support was found for the hypothesis that cell phone use may be utilised to avoid communication apprehension events. Stronger support was found for the hypothesis that interpersonal communication motives are positively correlated with cell phone usage gratifications.

Indiana Jane and masterpieces by women
In love with Florence, her mission is to save its works
By Elena Duranti
La Nazione – Italian Daily
November 2009 Her search is for forgotten artists of Florence. Jane Fortune, an American collector from Indianapolis whose passion is art, fell in love with Florence when she was a university student—so much, in fact, that she decided to live here six months of the year. For some time now, she has been dedicated to her mission: to save works by women artists. It's this quest that has earned her the name of 'Indiana Jane'.
She has worked to rediscover hidden masterpieces by women painters whose work has often never been seen by the public. Several of these artists lived during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, and were often overshadowed by the 'male' genius, of their painter fathers, husbands or bottega masters. These women, nonetheless, deserve their share of fame. Fortune, an American collector, is chair of Advancing Women Artists and The Florence Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, entities created to restore and promote works of art by women, past and present. She is the author of Invisible Women a book-guide spotlighting works by women from time periods that are stored in Florence's palaces and museums.
Was your research a long, painstaking process?
'Yes, I've spent the last five years searching though archives, inventories and collections in hopes of recuperating works by 'Invisible Women' in Florence's history. These paintings are authentic artistic treasures stored in local warehouses or deposits. Little-known and sometimes in danger; they often need restoration.'
How did your passion for this project start?
Several years ago, I went to a book fair at Palazzo Corsini where I found a book in English about Suor Plautilla Nelli, a sixteenth century nun who was the first known woman painter of Florence. Few Florentines knew of her, yet her story fascinated me immediately. When I saw her works—which were in dire need of restoration—they took my breath away and a question started to form in my mind.
Which question?
It was a question that became my passion: how many other works of art by unknown women were there hidden or decaying in the city's churches, archives and museums?
Since then, you've funded the restoration of some of these works.
With Advancing Women Artists and The Florence Committee several paintings have been restored, but many still need to be saved. Everything began with the Lamentation with Saints by Suor Plautilla Nelli which graces the large Refectory in Florence's San Marco Museum. To see it be given 'new life' was a truly emotional experience. Little by little, the figures emerged from beneath the layers of time, acquiring color and power.'
How are your restoration projects chosen?
We chose to restore works of art by women because they have often been relegated to storehouses for centuries. We ask Florence's museum directors, who usually are also women, to prepare an estimate with costs and a project plan including information about a painting's condition. So far, we've received proposals regarding 47 works.
Is the restoration of Artemisia Gentileschi's masterpiece the most important restoration project you've supported?
David and Bathsheba. It was a marvelous restoration, full of bright moments—but it also brought up a difficult issue.
Which is?
For centuries the work was stored in the storage rooms of Palazzo Pitti and, despite the splendid restoration, it was not exhibited permanently for public viewing. The painting was returned to a room that could not be visited by the public without prior written permission from the museum's director, who is currently looking for appropriate spaces where Artemisia's masterpiece can be exhibited. (Note: since this publication, the work has been placed on public view in the Sala delle Nicchie, Pitti Palace).
What's your newest restoration project?
Next Monday, two newly restored lunettes will be inaugurated at San Salvi: Saint Domenic and Saint Catherine, both by Suor Plautilla Nelli, which were commissioned in 1570 for the Convent of Santa Caterina. These paintings will be permanently on public view in the Andrea del Sarto Last Supper Museum.
Plans for the future?
I'm working to fulfill another dream—to create a permanent exhibition space for works of art by women. The proceeds from Invisible Women will go to support this project. '
'Invisible women' …even if they were genius
A book leads them into the spotlight
By Elena Duranti
La Nazione – Italian Daily
November 2009Marietta Robusti had to dress like a boy to be able to accompany her father, the talented Venetian master Jacopo Robusto—better known by the name 'Tintoretto' in the 1500s. Giovanna Garzoni, an expert still-life painter, had the good fortune of gaining the favor of Grand Duchess Victoria, wife of Ferdinando II de' Medici. If Artemisia Gentileschi is the most famous off all women artists, then almost no one knows Suor Plautilla Nelli or has seen the sensual eighteenth century drawings at Villa La Petraia by Giovanna Fratellini. In 1994, the United States postal service selected Elisabetta Siriani's 'Virgin and Child' to be printed on 1.1 billion Christmas stamps, yet few Italians know of this painting. Siriani was a great artist, who died in 1665 when she was only 27 years old.
The above-mentioned painting can be found at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C.. Elisabeth Chaplin donated her entire body of works to Florence. Fifteen of her works are on show at Palazzo Pitti's Modern Art Gallery, while almost 700 are in storage. Why are so many masterpieces by extraordinary women artists hidden from the public eye and from the enjoyment of visitors?
With her book 'Invisible Women', published by The Florentine Press, Jane Fortune strives to give new dignity and visibility to these women artists. The book will be presented this afternoon at the Uffizi Library by Superintendent Cristina Acidini. Precisely at the Uffizi which, together with Palazzo Pitti, hosts the majority of the 1,500 forgotten works by women artists in Florence. 'The vast majority have not been visible for centuries,' the author explains. The American researcher brings attention to over 1,300 letters written by women who, from 1770 to 1859, asked to copy masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery; Some 366 women arrived from far-away places such as Australia or the United states—of these, 150 (many more than history remembers) were classified as professional painters. These letters indicate that 1,027 standard-size oil paintings and 169 miniatures were created by women. Twenty-one women have the honor of having their self-portrait on exhibition among the 400 present in the Vasari Corridor. To salvage and uphold the collective memory of these artists who have remained without glory, without restoration and without exhibition space, the book's proceeds will go to support projects sponsored by the Advancing Women Artists Foundation and The Florence Committee, not-for-profit organizations whose aim is to recuperate, restore and exhibit works of art by women artists in Florence and around the world.

'Indiana Jane' strikes again'
by Alexandra Lawrence
(Originally published in The Florentine - Issue no. 110. October 22, 2009)I recently sat down with Jane Fortune, author of Invisible Women: Forgotten Artists of Florence, due out later this month from The Florentine Press. 'Indiana Jane' has spent the past five years scouring archives and haunting the recesses of some of Florence's most revered museums in an effort to uncover every single 'hidden' work of art by women.
The Florentine: How did the idea for the book come about? Jane Fortune: Several years ago I was wandering through a book fair at Palazzo Corsini and came across a volume in English entitled Suor Plautilla Nelli: The First Woman Painter in Florence by Jonathan Nelson. I snapped it up and was instantly intrigued by the story of a sixteenth-century nun whose works were virtually unknown to most Florentines. I began to wonder how many artworks by unknown or 'invisible' women might be hidden in the city's churches and museums. That was when my quest to learn more about women artists in Florence became a personal mission: to help invisible women artists in Florence become more fully visible.
TF: How does one begin to search for 'hidden' artwork in Florence?
JF: Because scholars and museum administrators have rarely focused on gender when classifying artwork, I knew that it was going to take some serious digging in the archives of local museums. Luckily, through my work with The Florence Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts I have developed relationships with the majority of the women museum directors in the city. Every director was extremely generous with her time and resources when she learned of my mission to create a 'women artists trail' spotlighting art by women. Some even turned their computer databases over to me and said, 'Go for it!' Others showed me handwritten archives-'systems' of index cards and ledger books.
TF: What were some of the biggest obstacles you faced in doing your research?
JF: One of the most difficult things was that many of the artists cited in museum archives are listed by first initial and last name. Obviously this isn't a problem for well-known individuals, but what about lesser-known artists whom even the archivists have never heard of? Does 'G' stand for 'Giovanni' or 'Giovanna'? Sometimes even further research doesn't provide the true identity of the artist.
The greatest difficulty was the inconsistency among the various archives. Although directors and archivists made themselves available for questions and provided information, there is simply no consistency within the archives themselves, making research extraordinarily difficult.
TF: What is your response to Linda Nochlin's oft-quoted question, 'Why have there been no great women artists?'
JF: There absolutely have been great women artists throughout history; it is simply a question of poor access. For centuries, women's artwork has been relegated to dark, unprotected corners of museum storerooms, where rats scurry and rain drips on canvases caked with dirt and pigeon droppings.
TF: To our knowledge, this book is the first that has begun to catalogue works of art by women in Florence. What are your hopes of finishing what you started?
JF: First, I would like to stress that this is just the beginning of the project; it is far from completion. The book is the result of five years of research in the city's archives and is really a starting point to reclaiming every single piece of art by women in order to fully celebrate their accomplishments. I hope my work serves as a rallying cry to all those who share this mission and would like to be part of making these women truly visible.
Book reviews and related articles
'Indiana Jane' pens another Florence Book / Indianapolis Star 'Indiana Jane' pens another Florence book It would be difficult to find someone who loves Florence, Italy, more than Indianapolis philanthropist Jane Fortune . Fortune lives there with her partner, Bob Hesse , about four months out of the year. As evidence of her soft spot for the city, she has done everything from penning "To Florence con Amore," a 2007 book about the art-filled city's best behind-the-scenes places, to starting a foundation aimed at restoring and preserving Florentine female artists' work — pieces Fortune says have been largely overlooked. She added to that list last month when her latest book came out: "Invisible Women: Forgotten Artists of Florence," an art history book that spotlights the work of women. Fortune is known as "Indiana Jane" for her efforts in the Italian city, where her culture column shows up in "The Florentine," a biweekly publication for English speakers. In Indianapolis, she is better known for her recent support of the inaugural performance of the Indianapolis City Ballet. "Invisible Women," ($28, The Florentine Press) made its debut in Indianapolis this month.
To celebrate, Fortune's local friends (and Hesse, to whom the book is dedicated) gathered for a book-signing party Dec. 8 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Fortune explained that the proceeds of both books are channeled to her foundation, which helps advance Italian female artists. The IMA gift store carries both of Fortune's books, and they can also be ordered online at shop.imamuseum.org. Equal access to holiday fun The Italianate home of Ken Ramsay and Joe Everhart on the Old Northside created some holiday magic for Indiana Equality this month. It's where the organization brought in more than $50,000 in a Dec. 10 fundraiser, "Holiday IN the Old Northside." According to the event program, civic leaders William Fortune and Joe Blakley donated more than $10,000 to the effort to end discrimination in Indiana based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Nearly 300 people — among them philanthropists, educators and politicians — showed up for the soup-tasting event held inside Ramsay and Everhart's lavishly decorated home. (The house used to be a clubhouse for a German-American singing and social group.) Tom John , chairman of the Marion County Republican Party; Edward T. Treacy , chairman of the Marion County Democrats; and Timothy Maguire , chairman of the county's Libertarian Party, all attended and even got together for a photo at one point. Setting the stage for sing-off Supporters of Michael Feinstein 's effort to bring the music of the early and mid-1900s to high school students are preparing for next year's incarnation of the Great American Songbook High School Academy and Competition.
The June 2-6 event will mark the second time students will face off in an Indianapolis vocal competition, trying to win a chance to perform with Feinstein — a pianist, singer and archivist of American popular songs — in his New York City club. To do so, they must perform a selection from Broadway, Hollywood musical theater or the Tin Pan Alley era of the early to mid-20th century. Trying to raise awareness for the unique competition, Mag Cole Russell (cousin to famous Great American Songbook contributor Cole Porter ) and Indiana arts philanthropist Richard Ford co-hosted a Dec. 3 event at Woodstock Club. Laney Wilson , Indianapolis, who earned third place last year in the first Songbook competition, performed during the event, which was attended by former Indiana first lady Judy O'Bannon; John Herbst , president and CEO of the Indiana Historical Society; and Indianapolis Symphony President and CEO Simon Crookall , among others.
Making the invisible visible
Jane Fortune brings women's art to light
by Alexandra Korey (issue no. 113/2009 / December 10, 2009) Women is an expression of love for the female artists of Florence's past. Jane Fortune has dug through the archives of the Florentine museums in search of women's names and their works, which are often in storage and away from the public eye. We learn that Florence conceals a dark and dusty world of female artists who, throughout the centuries, were born here or came here from Venice, Rome or from as far away as England, and who left works in the Medici and the state collections. In this lavishly illustrated volume, we are invited to learn about these women's lives, see some of their paintings and discover the works on our own by following the 'Women Artists' Trail,' a map at the end of the book.
Fortune emphasizes that she is not an art historian or a scholar but an art lover, collector and philanthropist. Like the artists about whom she writes, Fortune finds her voice and communicates her ideas in an approachable manner. Likewise, the design and layout of the book by Marco Badiani and Leonardo Cardini is suited to a general audience. In this way, the greatest possible number of readers may become aware of Florence's overlooked female artists and their paintings. Despite Fortune's claims not to be a scholar, Invisible Women is impeccably researched and contains valuable resources for further scholarship, thus inviting art historians to expand upon the work begun by Fortune or extend her method to other cities or countries.
The book's 26 short chapters might better be termed 'articles' as they are approximately the length of a feature news item. They are gathered into six thematic sections (plus the introduction and conclusion). Most of the chapters provide a biography of the individual artist, a presentation of her works in Florence and their locations. Many of the chapters address self-portraiture or still-life painting, which accurately reflects the dominance of these genres in women's art: women generally lacked access to the academy and thus to the training in painting nude models required to get a good base in figural depiction.
Fortune's book brings to light many artists about whom I had never heard, despite being rather up to date on the scholarly bibliography in this field. Recent art history has paid quite a bit of attention to early sixteenth-century Italians such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Lavinia Fontana and Sofonisba Anguissola. That the names Giovanna Fratellini, Arcangela Paladini and Teresa Berenice Vitelli are less known reflect not only the struggle of the female artist, but also the fact that Tuscan artists of seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are not on publishers' hot lists. (Art historians consider Florence to have lagged artistically behind Rome and Venice during this period.)
Fortune writes in an informed manner about this impressive range of artists, from the first known female artist in Florence, Suor Plautilla Nelli (1524-1588), to Emma Bardini Tozzi (1883-1962), a landscape painter who taught art to needy children at the Istituto Demidoff in the San Niccolò quarter. Finally, Fortune contributes a great deal to the English-language biography of Elisabetta Sirani, a prolific painter who died tragically young. Fortune highlights the artists' personal or artistic achievements in a way that is both historically sensitive and interesting to the modern reader.
Reading along, we notice common factors between artists across the centuries. For example, we learn how, in the nineteenth century, Louisa Grace Bartolini used a 'shield of devout Catholic virtue' that enabled her to enjoy a degree of freedom not known by her contemporaries (p. 129), a fact I find interesting in its parallel to the lives of the various artist-nuns of the sixteenth century, like Suor Plautilla Nelli whose ability to 'hobnob with prominent male painters' surely depended on her chaste habit (p. 33). The women in this book enjoyed success unusual for their sex: Artemisia Gentileschi was first woman admitted to Florence's Accademia dell'Arte in 1619, while Rosa Bonheur was invited to exhibit at the male-dominated Paris Salon in 1841. Fortune's chapters are interspersed with contributions by other authors, including a curator, a restorer, and an art historian-all women, of course! I particularly enjoyed the tightly written essay by Sheila Barker recounting her archival study of women who applied for permission to copy from the great masters inside the Uffizi Gallery, a project nicely framed by the dates 1736-1859. Based on documented permission to female artists, which even included examples of male artists being made to wait until women finished copying, Barker's heartening conclusion is that museum bureaucrats were indifferent 'to the applicant's gender and professional ranking' (p. 114).
During this period copying from the masters was considered the best font of professional formation; at the Uffizi, men and women had the same access. Fortune closes her book with one resource for art enthusiasts and another for scholars. Visitors to Florence are encouraged to visit works of art on public view by following the numbers on the map on pages 194-195. This enlightened idea for residents or return visitors to the city is just part of what makes this book a great gift for the art-lovers on your holiday list. The art-lovers (and even scholars or aspiring art historians) on your list will especially appreciate the 22-page inventory that lists all the women artists that Fortune has located in Florentine collections organized by last name, with a short biography and the inventory numbers of each of their works. Fortune says this work is incomplete, but her five years of research have certainly turned up an impressive number of 'hidden' drawings and paintings. In my opinion, this inventory is her greatest gift to the study of women in art, providing not only a list to follow for future study in Florence, but also an example to anyone who wishes to embark on a similar, ambitious project in another city.

Farmers weighing 2012 acres
Just a few years ago, USDA's late-March planting intentions report kicked off what is now commonly known as the battle for acres. Now, the acreage battle for 2012 seems to already be underway before this year's crop is even in the bin.
Last week, USDA released crop production and supply numbers that sent the grain markets shooting skyward.
And, the reports led many farmers to start looking ahead to next year's crop -- one that most say will have to be a bin-buster if the U.S. is to keep up with world grain demand. "The battle for 2012 corn acres has begun with the August 11 report," says Agriculture.com Marketing Talk member BrookfieldTwp.
It could make it tough to reach the acreage number of 95 million, which some farmers say is what we'll need to raise next year to keep up with demand.
"Where will all the corn acres come from for 2012? Only 75 million to rotate into from soybeans, may grab some from wheat and some lesser crops like dry beans in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Michigan," BrookfieldTwp adds. "Will we see a lot of corn-on-corn for 2012 which would mean lesser yield? If demand holds, may not catch up until 2013?"
A big crop next year is especially vital with many looking forward to a letdown of bushels in this year's crop, especially for corn, when the combines roll this fall.
"American farmers will plant corn fence row to fence row and take out the fence and plant it as well if these prices hold up until next spring. The price of inputs and the relative price of soybeans will have an effect, but only at the margins," says Marketing Talk member and veteran contributor DW11. "As of this moment, I predict 95 million planted corn acres in the US next year. If we get some late season rains that save the beans and the corn is a bust, some of the fringe areas will plant more beans next year. However, on the whole at these price levels it is going to be wall to wall corn."
The only hitch in the acreage equation for 2012, at least in some areas, is a lot of acres are needed for other crops, too. Hay and forage crops are already in short supply, so farmers will need to keep those acres up to avoid too much of a shortfall for livestock feed.
"Not too many places to gain corn from around here, maybe a little CRP," says Marketing Talk member and senior contributor Nebrfarmr. "Hay ground already getting scarce, and continuous corn doesn't work on dryland most years."
Continuous corn may be the answer. That system typically raises lower yields, but the needed bump in acres created by a combination of corn-on-corn and land in other crops this year could help the equation work out.
"I think you are right to expect a ton of corn-on-corn acres," says Marketing Talk member and frequent contributor justinbarnes710. "Even no-tillers like myself are considering a couple hundred acres of corn-on-corn for 2012...maybe even pushing that 95 million-acre figure higher."
One final wildcard is input costs. Land costs -- which continue to surge -- alone may help push the move to more continuous corn. "I think we will see alot more corn on corn acres for next year due to the fact that many cannot justify raising beans on $300 an acre or more rental land," adds Marketing Talk member and contributor farmandfire. "That leads to following the money which tends to be in the corn acres."
If that happens, look for a lot more farmers to lock in other crop inputs, like fertilizer, earlier on. That's Marketing Talk member and senior contributor Jim Meade / Iowa City's plan at this point.
"I would think that if one really believes that 2012 will mean a lot of local corn acres, they'll get their seed bought early, get their fertilzier prices locked in and be thinking of storage (and drying costs) and marketing in a little different way than they usually do," he says.

This review is from: ASUS ROG G750 Series G750JH-DB71 Notebook Intel Core i7 4700HQ (2.40GHz) 24GB Memory 1TB HDD 256GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 17.3" Windows 8 64-Bit
Pros: -POWERFUL; will run games like Battlefield 4 and War Thunder on maximum settings with little or no noticeable frame drops.
-FAST; Main Drive SSD and 24GB of memory make for a quick boot and fast access to your primary games.
-EFFICIENT; Low temps in the most demanding gaming. Battery will last hours on a dimmed screen and no backlit keyboard if you're word-processing or browsing the internet.
Cons: BATTERY FAILS; Six months in, I started getting a blinking battery LED. I tried multiple things, from reinstalling battery charge drivers to rolling back the BIOS to even wiping the computer with a fresh copy of Windows. No joy. Swapping batteries with a fellow G750 owner revealed a faulty battery. Fortunately, his is holding up. UN-fortunately, the battery is proprietary and will take until World War 3 to receive from ASUS. Their customer support has been unresponsive, at best.
SSD; Solid-State Drives have limited writes. It will eventually die. Great for the OS and your primary games while it lasts, though.
INTERMITTENT KEYBOARD; Various keys ranging from F and R to T and N have habits of not properly keying when you stroke them. This can be a huge pain when typing reports for school or even writing a review like this. Suggest opting for an external keyboard if you can spare the slots.
SLOPPY BIOS; Every iteration of BIOS release has had a bug of some sort. It started with heavy CPU throttling from the factory in battery mode, to intermittent backlighting in the first upgrade. The newest is still too new to really dial down the issues with it, but the apparent "fix" for WHQL support wasn't much of a fix.
WINDOWS 8 and BLUETOOTH; Not the worst OS, but its driver support is funky. Because of this, the Bluetooth drivers tend to cause false shutdowns and restarts if they're not disabled.
Other Thoughts: For the price of the laptop, I expected better product quality in things like the keyboard and battery. Things like that should not be prone to failure within the first six months of ownership.
The driver support of Windows 8 and this laptop are AWFUL. You have to disable the Atheros Bluetooth drivers if you encounter any issues shutting down or restarting the laptop.
I wanted to give this laptop a 3.5, but halves are not featured in the egg ratings. Bummer, because it just doesn't deserve four eggs, let alone five, for the deficient keyboard and battery issues that seem to plague MANY who have bought this laptop.
This review is from: Razer Orbweaver Gaming Keypad
Pros: -Many, Many Buttons.
-Razer Synapse permits the most extensive customization and macro-writing on the market.
-Fire-and-forget syncing to your game .exe files for specific profiles.
-Works in any USB type.
-Can potentially halve your reaction time for firing off abilities in MMORPGs or setting up weapon/seat switching in games like Battlefield and Planetside.
Cons: Only one con: It's a large keypad, and it's easy to fumble and "fat-finger" keys in your first few weeks of use. This can be as frustrating as it is intimidating, but as you develop the muscle memory, your reaction time will result in boundless improvement in MMORPG PvP and even first person shooters.
Other Thoughts: Despite the one con, I've had such great success with this piece of equipment (paired with the formidable Razer Taipan Mouse) that I felt compelled to keep it at five eggs. Now I think I understand why Swifty (of World of Warcraft fame) swears by these products.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Saitek X52 Pro Flight System Controller
Pros: -As far as range of motion goes, this is one of the most accurate and precise sticks on the market.
-Many buttons means you won't have to multitask between a basic stick and a keyboard.
-Extensive customization.
-Software-friendly (I've bound this stick to games as old as X-wing Alliance and as new as War Thunder)
-WORKS with Windows 8.1.
-Can work in USB 3.0 with proper, up-to-date Windows 8 drivers and Saitek Smart Programming Software.
Cons: Unlike its downgraded, stock cousin, the Pro suffers from some sort of quirk outside of the box. The first was improperly-installed (or aligned) microswitches in the dual trigger, which resulted in frequent misfires or the stick not firing at all. I had to RMA that stick because of it. The second, replacement unit suffers from an overly sensitive x-channel in the virtual mouse thumbstick on the throttle. Fortunately, this can be disabled in software or by disabling its HID-compliant mouse driver. Shame, though, because it is useful for panning your view in the cockpit of an airplane or ship in sims.
Other Thoughts: Saitek is starting to slip in product quality. Ever since they were acquired in 2007 by Mad Catz, their entire line of sticks suffers from some kind of failure out of the box. I bought both myself and my ex each a Saitek X-52 in late 2004, shortly after the original release. Until I purchased my Pro, the original 52 was still working.
I sought the Pro because of its alleged more-precise range of motion, which is no fluke. Its curves are more stable, allowing for better aim in games like War Thunder (which is currently dominated by mouse-aimers). The overall range of motion is better, and the LED customization is a nice touch. Plus: IT'S Freaking Black. I'm just bummed that I didn't buy one before Mad Catz bought Saitek. Since 2007, Saitek's quality just hasn't been the same.

The Harsco Infrastructure 53rd 12ft Skiff Interdominions on Moreton Bay will be proudly hosted by the Brisbane 18 footers in January. Up to 40 skiffs from Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand are expected to attend this year's regatta. It will be high performance sailing at its best, with current Interdominion Champion Nick Press of Australia looking to win it three years in a row.
Last years winners - Nick Press and Andrew Stevenson - 52nd 12ft Skiff Interdominion Championship
The world's leading access, formwork and industrial maintenance service provider, Harsco Infrastructure is proudly supporting the event.
Racing in Queensland and New South Wales has been close this season with a number of competitive crews on the water in the lead up to the event looking forward to taking on the New Zealand crews. All the skiffs will be looking forward to stretching their legs in the consistent breeze and open space of the bay in what will be a strongly contested regatta.
The trophies up for grabs include the Silasec Trophy for the overall champion, the Don Brooke Trophy for the winning Australian or New Zealand team and the Miner's Trophy for the Underall champion, who demonstrates the most spectacular and consistent capsizing through the event.
Starting from humble beginnings, the 12ft skiff has grown and endured to become one of the last true development classes racing today. With only nine class rules limiting hull size and weight at 45kgs, sailors are free to create and race the boat that they want. The result of this is an extreme 12ft boat that regularly becomes airborne under the power of its massive spinnaker.
The racing will start on the fourth of January from the Darling Point Sailing Squadron at Manly Boat Harbour so if you are interested in checking out the skiffs, the competition or the competitors then come along!

Josh Jones remains hospitalizedCreighton senior guard Josh Jones will undergo further testing after passing out before the Bluejays' game against Nebraska on Thursday.
"I want to let everyone know that I am in good spirits and doing well. The support from Bluejay nation has been overwhelming and proves what the Creighton family is all about," Jones said in a statement issued by the school.
Coach Greg McDermott also issued a statement.
"Josh's condition has stabilized and he is in the process of being transferred to Omaha for additional testing," McDermott said. "His health is our number one priority right now, but he will be off the court until results of some further testing comes in."
McDermott said after Thursday's game that Jones fainted during pregame warm-ups. He was taken out of the Devaney Center on a stretcher.
Jones was diagnosed with a bacterial infection -- infective endocarditis -- early in his senior year at Omaha Central High School. He underwent open-heart surgery to replace his aortic valve with one formed from cow tissue.
He resumed playing basketball in December 2007 and hadn't had any heart issues since.

CSU forward Greg Smith watches in anticipation for the Rams to be announced to the NCAA Tournament field Sunday at the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. / John Eisele/CSU Photography

Mountain West in NCAA Tournament

|La Salle
Greg Smith hadnt even looked up from his phone when he heard everyone cheer.
The NCAA Tournament Selection Show had barely started when CSU was announced as a No. 8 seed, matched up with No. 9 Missouri.
So much for anticipation.
I was still texting on my phone because last year we had to wait so long. The next thing I knew, I heard Colorado State, Smith said. Its great knowing that, first off, youre in, and two, where youre going so soon.
Its a fun opportunity to go out and play Missouri.
Colorado State University was in the second game announced on Selection Sunday as more than 250 people watched during the schools official viewing party at the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant.
It was a big change from a year ago, when the Rams (25-8) were one of the final teams announced to make the field.
CSU entered the postseason with an RPI ranking of 18 and figured it would be an NCAA Tournament team ahead of time, but knowing for sure is a huge relief, forward Pierce Hornung said. Still, the Rams have a tough draw in Lexington, Ky., on Thursday at 7:20 p.m.
Missouri (23-10) is one of the three in college basketball with better overall rebounding numbers than CSU. The Tigers average 41.4 boards per game (ranked second in NCAA), compared to 40.4 by CSU (fourth). Theyve won five of their last eight, which includes toppling then-No. 5 Florida, finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference and are battle-tested with five straight NCAA Tournament appearances.
The Rams said they wont look past Missouri, but even if they win, a third-round game with No. 1 Louisville is likely waiting for them. The Cardinals will play the winner of former CSU coach Dale Layers Liberty Flames and North Carolina A&T.
Bad luck for a CSU team that finished second in the Mountain West, ranked as the toughest conference in college basketball according to RPI.
I cant question (the seeding), I dont know. Thats where they (the selection committee) felt like we belong, CSU coach Larry Eustachy said. Weve constantly been battling who we are and what were trying to do. You just have to win.
Fellow conference teams UNLV (RPI No. 23) and San Diego State (33), which both finished the regular season behind CSU in the standings and split their home and away meetings, received better seeds. The Rebels are a No. 5 and SDSU a No. 7.
New Mexico, No. 3, and Boise State, No. 13, also made the NCAA Tournament representing the Mountain West.

The offshore workers don't pay Florida taxes because they're not working in Florida, so the taxes local contractors would pay don't cycle back into the state budget. 3. The offshore workers aren't buying that much from Florida businesses, so those tax revenues are also lost. However, according to my calculations, if you visit Disney World, one day's admission will run you the equivalent of Rs 2591.99. Not including Florida Sales tax, which should be about Rs 155 more.

Michele Palardy, a Winooski resident, displays a leaflet Tuesday morning that questions the basing of F-35s at Burlington International Airport. Palardy and others launched a petition drive in Burlington's Ward 1 to place the issue on next year's Town Meeting Day ballot. / JOEL BANNER BAIRD/FREE PRESS
The possibility of F-35 jets based at Burlington International Airport prompted opponents of the controversial aircraft today to begin a citywide petition with the aim of getting the issue on next years Town Meeting Day ballot.
A popular vote could pressure the Pentagon to site the noisier F-35 elsewhere by squeezing the airport budget, said Bristol-based attorney Jim Dumont at a news conference outside Ward 1s polling place at Mater Christi School.
Burlingtons landlord-tenant relationship with the U.S. Air Force and the Vermont Air National Guard allows city residents to weigh in on future funding, Dumont added.
Burlington Attorney Eileen Blackwood issued a statement Monday with the opinion that the City Council, not the public-at-large, holds the airports purse strings.
Currently, F-16 fighters are based at the airport, which Burlington owns, and which is located in South Burlington.
The airport is on the Air Forces short list for bedding down the advanced F-35. Opponents to the plan have highlighted the substantial increases in noise that would affect adjacent residential communities.
Dumont has filed a request with the local Act 250 board to require a more stringent environmental permitting process for the F-35s.

Britney Spears' Fantasy Twist Commercial Unveiled
Featuring four distinct looks -- which we'll call nightclub Britney, flapper Britney, Madonna-wannabe Britney and Cleopatra Britney -- the new ad for Britney Spears' Fantasy Twist perfume is out, and it's a doozy. In the commercial, Brit-Brit struts, sashays and shimmies down a hotel hallway as creepy onlookers peer out of holes in the walls to catch a glimpse of her. Even without the crucifix-centric outfit, which could have come straight outta Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video, the whole thing smacks of Madge, especially the peeping toms who remind us wee bit too much of the dudes spying on our favorite "Material Girl" in her mid-'80s video for "Open Your Heart," a song which just so happened to have shown up on Britney's 2002 flick, "Crossroads." Coincidence? Check out the vid and tell us your thoughts in the comments … (DailyMail)

Love INC of Otero County has numerous programs to assist those who are struggling to make ends meet; however Susan Payne, executive director, points out that the organization is here to give a hand up, but not a hand out. She cites their clothing program, "Dress for Success," as an example. Love INC keeps clothes that are designed for the job market, job hunting, the pieces and parts of uniforms which may be required by a specific employer for a certain color scheme, if not a specific uniform.
Another example is their food bank, where people allowed to shop for themselves, picking only those items they will use rather than being handed a specific package. The food program has some limitations, not only in terms of quantities, but in the number of times a family or an individual can use their service.
Love INC does not receive federal funding or grants. Instead, Love INC works with churches and businesses throughout the community, and Payne noted that the 'INC' stands for Love 'In the Name of Christ.' "The federal government will not fund us because we ask people to volunteer or because we want to say a small pray with our clients."
Love INC partners with PNM's Good Neighbor Fund, where people can get assistance if they are having trouble paying their utility bills.
The organization maintains three warehouses of furniture to help the homeless who have recently found housing set up a household. They can supply small appliances—such as coffee makers—linens, pots, pans, dishes and cutlery. On Tuesday, Payne announced the organization was going to signed a contract with Home Depot to obtain scratched, but brand new and fully functional, appliances or discontinued lines for their home.
Again limitation exists. They will supply a family or an individual only once. If someone loses a home a second time, then Love INC may send the person to First National bank for some financial training.
The organization has a rental assistance program, but Love INC will pay only one third of one month's rent and the renter must pay the remaining two-third of the rent before any funds are turned over. "We don't just hand them the money, unless we can be assured the rent will be paid," Payne said.
They can provide bus passes, but no gas vouchers.
Love INC acts as a repository and a referral service. "We find out what they need. If it is a domestic violence situation, then we refer them to COPE, or a person has cancer, we will refer them to CAPPED."
Love INC has medical supplies, including bath or shower chairs, wheel chairs, walkers, canes or hospital beds, for the sick. The organizations can assist if people are having trouble paying for prescriptions.
Payne explained they are outgrowing their facility. "We have the offices for Supportive Services for Veterans. They are completely autonomous, but we do similar work. SSV helps house homeless vets.
She expressed concern over the lack of shelters for the homeless. "We would like to see a homeless shelter in the city. Some city commissioners don't think we have homeless in Alamogordo. Mayor Susie Galea, though, understands. She's very supportive. She is just great," said Payne.
The Love INC facility will not take walk-ins to pick up clothes or furniture, or have specific days to hand out food as other organizations do. The individual needs to call their office (575) 439-4812 and reserve a time, to check their food shelves, clothes racks, medical supplies, or housewares.
Payne explained that they can get between 150 to 200 calls a day.
The backpack program helps feed area children during the school year. She thanks the people, churches and businesses for their contributions. "People donate to us because they know we give to people who need it."
The children's backpacks are filled with nonperishable food items, cereal, applesauce, fruit cups, puddings, individual serving containers of ravioli. "We stick with items that do not have to be cooked. We have many latch-key kids who might need a snack but cannot cook," Payne said.
The teachers, counselors or school nurses recommend those students. "That way we know there is a legitimate in need."
Last week, Love INC received 1,000 snack Clif bars for their backpack program. "We are thrilled to get donations from the Alamogordo Women's Golf Association," Payne said. "We haven't named the program yet. We haven't named any of the programs besides the Dress for Success program."
Love INC operates with minimal staff. Payne works full time. There are two part-time employees and 35 to 40 volunteers.

Naturalization records can help your family tree research. Naturalization is the process of assuming or being granted citizenship of a country, usually a country other than that of the person's origin.
In the United States, you may find clues to ancestral origins in naturalization records created after 1906 when the forms were standardized, as these forms contained more personal information.
Prior to 1906 you may find the occasional record with a detailed place of origin, but often only the country is listed.
There are four main documents associated with naturalization records in the United States:
- Declaration of Intention
- Petition for Naturalization
- Oath of Allegiance
- Certificate of Naturalization
>>> Search Naturalization Records in the Immigration Collection
The Declaration of Intention (or "first papers") is signed by the immigrant expresses the person's intent to become a citizen of the United States after all the requirements are meant. It also renounces citizenship in the person's previous country and any allegiance to the country or ruler.
The Petition for Naturalization (or "final papers") is the application the person submits to request the granting of citizenship after all residency requirements have been met and first papers filed.
The petitioner signs an Oath of Allegiance upon being granted citizenship, swearing his or her support and allegiance to the United States. This document may or may not be included in the naturalization records for your ancestor.
The Certificate of Naturalization is the formal document issued to the person to certify that they have been naturalized as a citizen of the United States.
Between 1906 and July 1, 1924 a Certificate of Arrival document was often completed. This document contained the place from which the immigrant immigrated, the arrival point in the United States, the date of arrival and the vessel on which the immigrant arrived.
Alien Registration forms were used in 1940 to 1944 to register every alien as they applied for admission to the country, regardless of their origin.
Passport applications can be another useful source to research your family tree. If an ancestor traveled back home to visit relatives, he may have requested a passport which could also bear the name of his hometown.
Ancestry.com has collections of the naturalization records available through their immigration collection.
Your local library or genealogical society may have access or sign up for the free trial to determine if information about your ancestors is available.

"Get back in the fucking car!" the Yellow Cab driver screamed.
"No way! You were going the long way," one of the four of us responded.
Our meter for the ride home was $10 more than what it cost to get to our destination—and we weren't even home yet. It was around 2 a.m.
"I was not! Give me my fucking money!" he said, screaming in the middle of the street.
We told him he didn't deserve it because he was cheating us. We had brought this up in the car; after he haughtily disagreed, we decided to ditch the ride at a red light and just walk home. He continued to scream at us, frantic and shrill; we argued back until a resident of some nearby apartments screamed out the window to shut up. Eventually, we threw a wad of cash at him and walked home.
I admit it—we probably could've handled the situation better. But between the taxi driver's sour attitude throughout the night and his blatant attempt to overcharge us, we had to stand up for ourselves. I've rarely bothered with a traditional taxi since—and I'm not the only one.
Over the past couple of years, alternative taxi services have exploded in the form of small networks of independent drivers and providers who'll drive you home in your own car. Then there are apps such as Uber, SideCar and Lyft. They don't own any vehicles or directly employ any drivers, instead working as electronic middlemen to connect passengers and drivers of luxury sedans, but absolving themselves of any responsibility should you get hurt or have any problems whatsoever with the driver or ride. Despite such murkiness, these services have become so popular and taken away so much business from traditional taxi services they have caused controversy in major markets including New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. (Uber is the only one of the three to service Orange County, though SideCar says it plans to expand here soon.) LA bureaucrats even sent cease-and-desist letters to Uber and other such apps in June, essentially telling them to knock it off.
"It's basically the electronic equivalent of hitchhiking," says William Rouse, president of the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association (TLPA) and general manager of Los Angeles Yellow Cab. "People stopped hitchhiking a long time ago because of the known dangers."
Rouse admits ride-sharing and ride-dispatching apps have unquestionably affected the traditional taxi industry. He says these "bandit cabs" are undercutting the entire business structure because their services are not regulated by the Orange County Taxi Administration (OCTAP) or the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC, which sets the standards for the state's licensed cab companies), and don't ensure their drivers are either. They're less taxi companies and more a Craigslist of rides.
On the other hand, OCTAP-approved taxi companies have to abide by a myriad of regulations, including criminal background checks and drug tests for drivers; vehicle inspections including cleanliness and proper functioning of the car and meter; and set fare prices—all features that prove his industry's superiority, Rouse says.
"I'm not aware of a single regulator in the entire country that has endorsed the business model of these apps," Rouse says. "To us in the industry, it's patently unwise to have these operating on the streets. . . . There are decades and decades of regulations put there for a purpose. We shouldn't have to learn those lessons all over again."
Has the meter run out for traditional taxis? It's too early to tell, but it's too late to stop the rebel-cab revolution.
* * *
If you ask Ace ("Just Ace," he says. No last names, no first names, just Ace) of Fat Taxi, an independent black car and limousine service in Huntington Beach that's one of the local pioneers of the anti-taxi movement, the so-called bandit cabs are a long time coming.
"Taxi companies are in fear of services like Uber, and it's their own damn fault," he says. "[The taxi companies] changed the industry by letting [independent contractors] come in and wreak havoc. They overcharge, take the long way, try to pick up on the women. When I started, if a driver did that, they'd be fired."
The difference between Fat Taxi and a traditional cab is in the details. It's cheaper than any regular cab, determining its cost by mileage, not a meter. The fleet mostly consists of black Town Cars, with one limousine. It's a much smaller operation, with about five regular drivers, so it services mainly Huntington Beach and surrounding cities. The company doesn't have an app (hell, some of the guys still use flip phones), but it is a fully insured and licensed car service whose drivers have to pass drug and alcohol tests, have a DMV-provided driving-record check, and have to adhere to similar regulations as those of the legit taxis licensed by OCTAP, with others (such as Fat Taxi) by CPUC.
Ace, both a dispatcher and a driver, is a grandfatherly type, with a gray beard and a traditional cabbie cap. He's a storyteller who speaks with a deliberate diction and a collection of quips and jokes, including "Why do you make the ugly one sit up front?" to which he follows with, "Ah, that one's older than you are, kid."

Justin Bieber Opens Up About Gomez Breakup In New Song
Justin Bieber (Photo: Larry Marano)
Justin Bieber (Photo: Larry Marano)
The tune, "Nothing Like Us," details a "perfect" and "true" partnership that went wrong—with a girl who ended up pushing Bieber away. When questioned if he was heartbroken over Gomez, the singer told Billboard that he's not feeling his best lately:
"I'm not in the happiest place that I've ever been. I'm trying to get through what I'm going through," he noted. "I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going."
Bieber also told Billboard that much of what fans are hearing regarding the breakup is totally untrue. "There's so many rumors. People say I call Selena every day and she won't pick up the phone or I'm chasing her down, and these are all fake stories.," he said, adding that he doesn't keep track of gossip personally.
However: "People tell me if something happens on the Internet. It gets back to me, definitely."
To those who might scoff that Bieber's problems are minute in the grand scheme of things, the star asks everyone to look back at their own youth and the issues of transitioning into adulthood. "It's funny when people are like, 'You're 18. What have you really gone through?' I'm thinking, 'What do you mean? When you were 18, you don't think that you went through stuff?'"
Bieber also touched on his shutout from this year's Grammys, saying that he won't be attending the awards—but that he'll be rooting for the controversial Chris Brown to win that evening. "His music is really good. That's what they should focus on: The music."
Bieber's new set, Believe Acoustic, features eight reworked tracks from his 2012 smash-hit album Believe, plus three new songs including "Nothing Like Us."

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico City residents are thankful to have a
home where the buffalo no longer roam.
Police say residents of a west-side neighborhood called to
report buffaloes standing in the street, saying they didn't know
what to do.
Two officers were dispatched to the scene Monday, and used a
flashlight to herd the animals back to a pen from which they
appeared to have escaped.
A man showed up at the pen saying he was in charge of the
buffaloes and thanked the policemen for returning them, but police
say they will investigate whether the animals are being properly
held there.
More than 20 million people live in the megalopolis that is
Mexico City and its surrounding suburbs - an urban home where
buffalo aren't known to usually roam.

|Parathyroid enlargement at dialysis initiation in patients with chronic kidney diseases.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23379489 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The kidney chiefly maintains homeostasis of water, electrolytes, and other solutions. When kidney function is reduced, mineral metabolism is disrupted. Mineral and bone disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease associates with increased cardiovascular risk and mortality; however, management of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in predialysis patients remains controversial. This study investigates the association between parathyroid enlargement at dialysis initiation and hyperparathyroidism management in dialysis patients. We enrolled 72 patients at dialysis initiation in this study. Using parathyroid sonography, we categorized patients based on presence (detected group; N = 18) or absence (undetected group; N = 54) of enlarged parathyroid glands and assessed the clinical characteristics and laboratory findings. A literature review of ultrasound evaluations of secondary hyperparathyroidism was conducted. Ultrasonography revealed enlarged parathyroid glands in 18 patients (25%). Serum intact parathyroid hormone levels were high in patients with enlarged parathyroid glands; however, of the 29 patients with intact parathyroid hormone levels <240 pg/mL, four had enlarged parathyroid glands. Eight of the 29 patients with serum phosphorus and calcium levels within the optimal range had enlarged parathyroid glands. Twenty of these 29 patients were followed up at 38 ± 17 months (at least 3 months): enlarged parathyroid glands were detected in 6. During follow-up, serum intact parathyroid hormone levels were significantly higher in the detected group compared with the undetected. In conclusion, enlarged parathyroid glands are frequently detected at dialysis initiation, potentially predicting the persistence of secondary hyperparathyroidism and the need for strict management.

ASHWAUBENON The Green Bay Packers are tearing down one of the buildings they own west of Lambeau Field.
The former Big Lots store at 1177 Lombardi Access Road and several adjacent storefronts in the same building have been empty for some time. Big Lots moved to Green Bay Plaza on Military Avenue last year.
The Packers own 28 acres near Lambeau Field, most of it on the south side of Lombardi Avenue from Ridge Road to Marlee Lane, which they plan on redeveloping into a sports and entertainment district.
The organization is working with real estate developer James Strohschein of Ashwaubenon on some of the properties.
The Packers have said final plans will be part of a larger conversation with Brown County, Green Bay and Ashwaubenon officials about redevelopment of the area between Ashland Avenue and U.S. 41.
"Rather than maintain the building through the winter, the best thing seemed to be to raze it now," said Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey of the former Big Lots building a large, old structure.
He said the demolition, being carried out by Ostrenga Excavation Inc. of Green Bay will be complete within the next couple of months. Short-term use of the site could be parking, he said.
Popkey said storefronts occupied by Green Bay Cellcom Marathon, 1173 Lombardi Access Road, and St. Vincent de Paul, 1171 Lombard Access Road, will remain.
