text: Aliens vs. Predator banned in Oz Gaming 07 December 09 by Gus Mastrapa SEGA Australian censors have banned the forthcoming Aliens vs. Predator videogame and developer Rebellion Games' CEO Jason Kingsley isn't happy about it.The developer "will not be releasing a sanitised or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices," said Kingsley in a scathing statement. The game will be released in February.Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification is notoriously tough; sexually explicit art films like Salo and Ken Park met with ratings difficulties in the country.But videogames have a particularly tough row to hoe in Australia because the restricted 18-and-up movie rating does not apply to them. If a game in Australia is deemed by the government to be inappropriate for children, it is "refused classification" — that's doublespeak for "banned".Recently, game developer Valve edited some gore from its game Left 4 Dead 2 to pass Australia's censors.The OFLC didn't like what it saw in Aliens vs. Predator. In the official classification report acquired by Game Arena, the group decries the game for "close-up depictions of human characters being subjected to various types of violence, including explicit decapitation and dismemberment as well as locational damage such as stabbing through the chest, mouth, throat, or eyes.""In the opinion of the Board," the report continues, "the violence in the game causes a high playing impact due to its first-person, close up perspective, conceptual nature and the level of explicit detail involved in the depictions. The game is therefore unsuitable for minors to see and play and should be refused classification."So while porn movies like Anal Prostitutes on Film 7 and Slut Puppies 3 get a pass because they're segregated as adults-only material, anything that Australia perceives as kids' stuff has a problem. Edited by Katie Scott Comments AAARRGGHH...makes me so ANGRY!!!Fortunately I live in the UK for now, but the Australian classification system has been skirting the game classification issue for far too long. Wake up you neanderthals!!! Jesse Dec 7th 2009 Who is Neanderthal here? The classification board, or the people who want to play such horrifically violent games? Hmm?? Jen Dec 7th 2009 Because computer games can let you do it without doing it.And people are attracted to abnormal things.If a game would be real life, there would be no use in putting it in a game. corneel Dec 7th 2009 "Who is Neanderthal here? The classification board, or the people who want to play such horrifically violent games?"With that attitude, it seems appropriate to ban all violent R-rated movies, no?Australia is an ass-backwards country anyway, it's too bad citizens have to suffer through morons like Jen who believe they're so morally superior to everyone, that they should impose their stuck up views on everyone else.Go back to your castle princess, your opinions are not needed here you clown troll. Tom Dec 8th 2009 Thank god for ebay eh..LOL me Dec 8th 2009 Let me start by saying, Jen, keep your *opinions* to yourself, they are not wanted or needed here.Killing something in a video game does not automatically translate into real life.. and judging people for playing violent games is closed-minded, stupid and the mentality of the medieval ages.Jen, care to come out of the dark ages and join us in the new millenium?

Apple now offers "education pricing" for all iPad models, including the iPad Air and iPad Mini, a move designed to push the tablet maker deeper into schools.
While Mac owners have long enjoyed education discounts, Apple's tablet remained a full-price entertainment device for students and teachers. Apple's promotion is nicely timed as the iPad increasingly grows as a tool used in schools for education purposes.
Still, the discounts aren't exactly generous — they amount to just 5 – 6 percent off full price. The discounted iPad Air will cost students, teachers, and schools $469, while the iPad Mini starts at $379 — instead of $499 and $399 respectively.

Dead Genesis - Opening Scenedeadmanwalkin
Yesterday I posted news (here) on an upcoming indie zombie film - Dead Genesis. If you read the article, you know that with Dead Genesis, they want to "resurrect Romero's vision."
Below is the opening 5 mins of the film, and after watching it, I have to admit, I havent got that emotionally pulled into a movie so quickly, in a long time. They have me hooked, but will they be able to keep me? Take a look and let me know what you think.
Synopsis: Seven months have passed since the dead took over. Many cities and states have been abandoned and left to die. Society is trying to create a new order from the chaos. The military has been officially assigned the task of fighting the undead hordes. However several self sufficient hunting groups made up of everyday citizens have been established to take on the threat in a war aptly referred to as the 'War on Dead'.
In the midst of this global tragedy, media has redefined itself to try and capitalize on the new world order. Jillian Hurst, a former news writer and amateur documentarian, has set out to make a pro-war propaganda film to support the W.O.D. She joins up with a pack of renegade hunters known infamously to North America as 'the DeadHeads'. The moral dynamics and hardships of fighting in a war against the undead are told from several different perspectives.
Made up of Christians, atheists and men and women of varying ages, the disparate band of anti-heroes seeks to cleanse the landscape of the undead with each DeadHead motivated by their own personal agendas. Everyday brings the possibility of death and horror, but also offers new bonds that redefine family and friendship.
Dead Genesis is currently doing the indie film festivals in Canada... if you want to know more about this film, be sure to check out their official site.

I love a good deal. And when I was at Target a couple of weeks ago I spotted some $1 items that I thought would make awesome Valentine gift ideas. So I made some printables to go with them! (my techy husband helped me – he's so sweet!) I'll be sharing them throughout the day today
This printable would be fun for a Teen or Tween too. I found these clear bags in the dollar section. They are the perfect size to use as a little wallet or makeup bag in a purse. And we added some little icons at the top. You could pair the one with the ring with nail polish and some treats for the perfect Valentine pick-me-up. There's also one with a lip icon and you could put a tube of lip gloss with that one.
Here are the printables! They're in two versions — red and pink. Just download and print either or both!
Click the picture or this link to download the red PDF.
Click the picture or this link to download the pink PDF.
(I printed mine on cardstock at FedEx Office (Kinko's), but if you have a printer that likes cardstock, you can just print them at home!)

Earth Day Action: Clean Water for Swimming
Triathletes need clean, safe water for swimming. As we huddle in our wetsuits on chilly shores early in the morning, we often think about things we can't control: the water temperature, the current, not getting kicked in the face. But on this Earth Day, here's one thing we should not have to worry about: getting sick from sewage and runoff pollution in the water.
The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that up to 3.5 million people become ill each year from contact with sewage pollution. Contamination of the water, when detected in time, sometimes means that we can't use the water at all. In 2011, there were as many as 23,481 days of beach closings and advisories.[i] Imagine spending months training for a triathlon, only to show up and find out that pollution has closed the swimming area, cancelling the event.
Of all the goals of our nation's Clean Water Act, perhaps the one that matters most to us is the vow to make all of our rivers, lakes, and other waters "swimmable" by 1983. Unfortunately, 20 years after that deadline, many of our waters are still plagued by billions of gallons of sewage overflows and runoff.
A root cause of these pollution problems: asphalt and concrete surfaces prevent stormwater from naturally infiltrating into the soil. These materials create swift conduits for grease, toxins, and all kinds of bacteria, depositing them directly into our waterways, or flooding the capacity of our sewer systems, forcing the release of unprocessed sewage into our waters.
Solutions: fix our aging sewage infrastructure, design new buildings to minimize runoff pollution and retrofit existing development to do the same. Several cities and states are already taking some of these steps. The city of Philadelphia has instituted a precedent-setting program to retrofit downtown buildings using rainbarrels, rooftop gardens and other techniques designed to reduce this pollution. Rhode Island and Maryland have passed landmark standards to curb runoff pollution from new development. We need to build on these successes, and ensure that all of America's waters are protected by them.
That's why several environmental advocacy groups, including Environment America, are calling on the government to take the following steps now to keep the water we swim in clean and healthy: 1) introduce new, enforceable standards to curb runoff pollution this year; 2) advocate for full funding for sewage system repairs; and 3) complete EPA's work to ensure that every river, stream, lake, and other waterway in America is once again fully protected by the Clean Water Act.
If anyone should be speaking up for Clean Water on Earth Day, it should be we who swim in it. Let's take action to keep our water clean and safe.
John Rumpler and Leslie Feldman-Rumpler Gabbé: John Rumpler is a senior attorney at Environment America, a federation of state-based citizen supported environmental advocacy groups in 29 states. His sister Leslie is a USA Triathlon member, gearing up for her next race in Cohasset, Mass.

POSTED: 3:47 p.m. HST, Jul 30, 2014
LAST UPDATED: 5:29 p.m. HST, Jul 30, 2014
The Kahala Shell gas station on Waialae Avenue is changing ownership on Thursday and will no longer offer auto repairs.
Madeleine Snow, owner of the long-standing Kahala Shell Auto Care Inc. across from Kahala Mall, said the gas station and car wash will continue to operate under new management.
The service station's 35 employees can re-apply with the new operator or look for work elsewhere.
Snow has been with the company for more than 34 years and decided to shut down the business at the end of her lease term because landowner Kamehameha Schools has plans to redevelop the block, she said.
"The land lease for this whole block is short and we're at crucial point," she said. "They have future plans and it will no longer support a service station. It will only support a gas station."
Aloha Petroleum plans to continue operating the station under the Shell brand until the station is forced to close, the company said in a press release. Once rebuilt, Aloha Petroleum will operate the gas-only portion with the Shell brand and a new facility. The master development plan for the area is scheduled for mid-2016.

For some folks, this is the American dream -- a picturesque historic village with rolling rivers and mill ponds, a tree-lined boulevard with fine old homes and this house specifically -- first built in 1851, now fresh from a stylish renovation.
It's located on the boulevard once called Merchants' Row, a street of impressive houses built in the 19th Century by Milford's early business owners.
Since the house was built 162 years ago, it has been rebuilt and rebuilt again. An 1876 photo shows a Gothic Revival structure with a wide porch. But its history since then shows frequent changes. Some rooms were built on; other parts were removed. "There had been a lot of additions and deletions," says co-owner Michelle Roose Walter.
In the 20th Century, the big porch disappeared as the home was used and abused in different ways. Those include being carved into a two-unit duplex and then a CPA's office.
For Bill and Michelle Walter, this hacked-up history meant a good renovation had to come from the guts out.
They tore out the plaster walls, gutted the plumbing and replaced all the wiring. They pulled out the old oil-burning furnace with its radiators and put in two new forced-air furnaces and air-conditioners.
They opened up walls, added windows, moved stairs, installed a doorwall to a two-tiered deck, re-sided the house and built a beautiful landscape.
They reconfigured the second floor, dismantling a small apartment with its own stove, sink, fridge and bathroom.
They knew this would be a tough job, but it was worse than they thought. The foundation turned out to be unstable, so they had to reinforce it.
A low point came one Saturday when their contractor brought his children to help do some clean-up. The kids got fascinated with loose bricks in the fireplace, pulled out just the right one, and the whole fireplace and chimney stack collapsed into the basement, pulling the roof down with it.
It took a year from the time they bought the house until they could move in. "It was a huge, huge job," Michelle Walter says. "It almost killed us."
Today, the place looks like a show house, from the handsome interior to the extensive gardens outside.
The couple held onto vintage details including leaded glass windows, which they rebuilt, the old oak floors and the heavy woodwork. Where new construction needed more materials, they feathered in the old flooring and reproduced the heavy woodwork.
Meanwhile, they reconfigured the floor plans, so chopped up by previous owners.
The main floor now has a parlor, family room, dining room and a new long corridor kitchen with granite counters, built-in appliances and a full walk-in pantry.
They added windows to the family room and kitchen, moved the back door to complement their landscaping and raised the foyer to two stories tall by cutting back some of the second floor.
That formerly jumbled second floor now has just three bedrooms, three walk-in closets, two baths and a laundry room. The former attic is now a finished third floor with a fourth bedroom and a bath.
They're moving now to a house with three acres, still in Milford. Their plan had been to build a new house in Lake Orion.
"But we didn't realize that with all those hair-raising events, we grew roots here," she says. "We couldn't leave. We like that Milford is its own little world."

Ever wonder why a slice of watermelon seems so refreshing on a hot day?
It's likely because the melon is made up of 92 percent water.
That is one of the many facts about the summer treat posted on watermelon.org, a site run by the National Watermelon Promotion Board.
And Aug. 3 is the watermelon's very own national holiday.
On this day, everyone is encouraged to get out and take a bite of this tasty summer fruit.
Or is it a vegetable?
Well, it's sort of both.
It's botanically a fruit, according to watermelon.org. But it also is a member of the cucurbitaceae plant family of gourds, which might explain why watermelon mixes so well with cucumbers in one of Judy Bono's favorite recipes.
Bono, the owner of The Gardener of the Owl Valley in Hellam Township, said one of her favorite throw-together recipes is watermelon salad.
It's a simple five-ingredient combination that goes something like this:
Mix pieces of watermelon with feta cheese, mint, cucumber chunks and red onions.
Sometimes she sprinkles oil, black pepper and lemon juice over the salad.
Or, she said, turn a slice of watermelon into "pizza" with the same ingredients sprinkled on top.
"The sour and the sweet is just absolutely delicious," she said.
As for other recipes, she admits that she turns to Pinterest when she's looking for ideas and ways to use up leftovers.
And Chef Dawn McWilliams will likely have lots of leftovers to use this year because her garden is overflowing with 21 large watermelons right now.
McWilliams, who is an instructor at The School of Culinary Arts in North York, said she loves to talk about all the ways to use watermelon. From turning the rind into a bowl to freezing it as ice cubes, she rattles of many easy ways to enjoy the versatile summer treat.
Sure, you could make a smoothie, but McWilliams suggested making a watermelon puree, mixing it with some sugar water and then making ice cubes with the mixture. The watermelon cubes can then be dropped in a glass of water to add a sweet, refreshing taste.
How can you make a glass of iced tea even better? Just add watermelon. Here's a recipe to try:
Watermelon Pomegranate Tea
4 cups watermelon puree
2 cups pomegranate juice
4 cups strong prepared and chilled green tea
1 cup white grape juice
1 serving ice
Mix all ingredients together in a large container (except ice) and chill well. Stir before serving and serve over ice.
Makes 6-8 servings.
The rind of a watermelon can be many things, including its own bowl or basket. McWilliams said a basic basket can be carved out in five minutes. Or more adventurous cooks can spend a lot longer to make it more elaborate. One easy suggestion: Put grapes on toothpicks and then stick them around the "bowl" to add color.
McWilliams said watermelon salads like Bono's favorite recipe are popular. For added flavor, she suggested grilling the watermelon. Here's another recipe to try:
Mediterranean Watermelon Salad
6 cups torn mixed greens
3 cups seeded watermelon
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1 dash cracked black pepper
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except oil and pepper. Just before serving, toss salad mixture with oil. Garnish with pepper.
Makes 6 servings.
Spitting watermelon seeds is sort of unavoidable for anyone enjoying the seeded variety. For some, spitting those seeds is a sport. And for people who think they have what it takes to compete, the U.S. Watermelon Speed-Eating and Seed-Spitting Championships will celebrate its 46th annual Pardeeville Watermelon Festival on Sept. 6. in Wisconsin.
Where to find watermelon?
If you're looking for local watermelons in York and Adams counties, they are available at several area markets. For a list of where to stop, visit www.buylocalpa.org/york.
Watermelon history
Ever heard of The Great Watermelon Train Wreck in Seven Valleys?
On a July night in 1918, a northbound train carrying fruit stopped near the Seven Valleys train station. A few minutes later, a second fruit train -- with air brake problems — crashed into the back of the first train, according to yorktownsquare.com.
Three men were injured that night, according to the blog post written by local historian Jim McClure. "But what people remember today was what happened to the cargo," he wrote.
Fruit was everywhere, including thousands of watermelons that were salvaged by Seven Valleys residents.

You should refrigerate your watermelon when you get it home. It won't ripen any more after it's removed from the vine.
A ripe watermelon should sound hollow because that means it's fully matured inside.
Early explorers used watermelons as canteens.

Helicopter product manager leaves milestone legacy
October 11, 2012
By Sofia Bledsoe (AMCOM Public Affairs)
After going through three major acquisition milestones, battling through challenges such as a Nun-McCurdy breach, and countless days of travel associated with the job and being away from the family, the product manager for Apache Block III is retiring from the Army after more than 20 years in service.
Lt. Col. Dan Bailey relinquished his position as the product manager for Apache Block III during a change of charter and retirement ceremony Sept. 28 in one of the hangars at Redstone Airfield.
Assuming responsibility as the new product manager is Lt. Col. Brian Stehle, who recently came from the Technology Application Program Office at Fort Eustis, Va., where he managed Special Operations Aviation Helicopter Avionics Systems.
Bailey assumed responsibility for the Apache Block III Product Office in 2009. He has led the team to achieve major milestone acquisition decisions that led to the Limited User Test and the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation of the AH-64D Apache Block III, the Army's newest version and the world's most lethal attack helicopter.
During the ceremony, Bailey succumbed to his emotions about saying goodbye to a service and duty he has loved and believed in all his life.
"I've always been one of those guys that could not be defeated. I never thought I'd ever be here, even last night. This has been my life," he said.
Col. Jeff Hager, project manager for Apache Attack Helicopters and who was Bailey's predecessor, said that Bailey was the right man for the job at the right time. Bailey's experience and expertise as an experimental test pilot and education in mechanical engineering were instrumental in the success of the Block III program.
"Rotation brings new blood and new ideas," Hager said, adding that he knew the program, which was in its infancy at the time Bailey took the charter, could not have been in more capable hands. Bailey is also a Master Army Aviator with time in over 25 different aircraft, and is also airborne and air assault qualified.
"What I'm going to take away with me is what we as a team of professionals have accomplished," Bailey said. "But at the end of the day, it is all about the same motivation to protect and serve the war fighter today. I took the job and never expected so many opportunities to succeed."
Bailey summarized the last three years with the following accomplishments by his team. The Apache Block III Product Office has successfully completed or executed: more than $1.4 billion in contracts; 53 major contracts actions with three prime contractors; more than 1,000 minor contract actions; almost 1,500 contract deliveries; more than 100 different airworthiness releases; and three major acquisition decisions that led to the Limited User Test and Initial Operational Test of the Apache Block III.
"I have been honored to serve as your leader, and I want to thank you all as a team," Bailey said.
Bailey and his family will remain in the area in New Market, where he will have the opportunity to spend more time with his wife Dawn and three children. He received the Legion of Merit at his retirement ceremony.

The Nieuport 28 was rejected by the French Air Service as not suited to be front-line equipment. At the time, the American Army was desperate for any airplane they could scrounge, and 297 Nieuports were delivered to the "Yanks."
The first airplane Americans flew into combat, it was loved by some and feared by others. Flying 28s, Douglas Campbell and Alan Winslow each shot down a German fighter on April 14, 1918, becoming the first U.S. airmen to destroy a plane in combat. Famous ace Eddie Rickenbacker scored many of his twenty-six victories flying his Nieuport.
On the other side of the coin, Rickenbacker, America's beloved hero, was almost killed when the upper wing fabric on his 28 tore apart in flight. Teddy Roosevelt's son, Quentin, and ace Raoul Lufbery were also killed while flying Nieuport 28s.
The Museum of Flight's Nieuport 28 is an original, and both Robert Rust and Jim Appleby worked on its restoration before it was finished by Roger Freeman of Marlin, Texas in 1999. The plane has a Gnome 9-N, 165 h.p rotary engine and two .303 inch Vickers machine guns. The plane currently carries the paint scheme of Quentin Roosevelt.

Tuesday's game marks the 41st series meeting between Louisiana and Arkansas State with the Cajuns owning a 21-18-1 series lead.

text: Startup of the Week: JobVidi Silicon Europe 12 July 12 by Guest Author JobVidi JobVidi is a career management tool that bridges the gap between regular recruitment sites and social networks. Users can search and apply for jobs using a LinkedIn profile, keeping control over who sees any sensitive information. JobVidi -- currently in beta -- guarantees a response to any job that users apply for using their site. Those not actively looking for a job can also find out their value and marketability in other sectors. Wired.co.uk talks to founder James Brookner.Founders: James Brookner, Nabila Sadiq, Vic Daniels and Graham Morris Launched: June 2012 Funding: £100,000 seed capital Employees: 7What problem do you solve? JobVidi focuses on addressing the key frustrations people face when searching for a job online, either via social networks or traditional job sites.LinkedIn is the most powerful career networking tool around today, and JobVidi harnesses this, whilst providing greater flexibility when it comes to the amount of personal information they are comfortable with in the public domain.Another problem that both LinkedIn and traditional job sites both share is a huge black hole in the application process. Most applicants don't receive a response from recruiters, even for relevant jobs. One of the key features of JobVidi is to ensure that candidates will always find out the outcome of their application.How do you plan to make money? Our main objective in the short term is to build a significant user base, eventually charging a subscription to direct hirers and recruitment companies for using aspects of our service.Who do you view as your competitors? The social media recruitment space is a relatively busy marketplace, however the major players such as Jibe and Branchout are more focused on leveraging social networks to build referral-based models. We like to view our model as the inverse of our competitors; JobVidi makes the job seeking process more discreet, anonymous and like traditional job sites keeps the focus on the relationship between the candidate and the recruiter. We use social networks as a vehicle to make this process more efficient.Where did you get the idea for the business? JobVidi's eureka moment came during a period of unhappiness in a previous job. I began looking at other career opportunities and spent some time re-writing my CV, applying for jobs, and found myself increasingly frustrated by the lack of responses I received. My initial conclusion was that I must be doing something wrong, but the friends and colleagues I spoke to seemed to have shared the same experience.After this discovery, I became fascinated with online recruitment and how it could be improved. Social networks have provided an innovative platform for candidates and recruiters to engage, but have not eradicated a number of the pressing difficulties faced by job seekers. Only 2/10 applicants actually receive a response, the process can sometimes be too social on larger networks particularly for people with sensitive information, and finding out the answers to questions about your market value and marketability in another sector is not straightforward.What's the biggest misconception about your business? When people hear the term 'professional network' used to describe a web app like ours, the instant reaction is to assume we are building a product to compete with LinkedIn. This couldn't be further from the truth in practice. JobVidi is a complementary tool for LinkedIn users who are concerned about their privacy when looking for a job.Can you express in some tangible terms how the business has developed? For the last 3 months we have been conducting a private beta test, and have therefore controlled the number of candidates and recruiters using our product. However, since opening our doors to recruiters in late June, we have seen the number of registration double every day. Admittedly, we are at the early stages in this respect.What has been the most challenging time for the company? The biggest challenge for our company, an obstacle that we are still in the process of overcoming, is the unavoidable chicken-and-egg situation faced by companies like ours at the early stages. Recruiters want the site to be full of the best candidates, and job seekers want to browse from a large selection of jobs, and the challenge has been to find ways of attracting one segment of our target audience before the other.How did you overcome that? Our conclusion was to target recruitment companies first, so we opened up our doors to recruiters shortly before launching to candidates. We then built a model to incentivise early adopters with exclusive access to candidates on JobVidi, in return for posting jobs on our network.Do you have any advice for dealing with potential investors? Never approach investors when you desperately need the money. Our first round of investment didn't come at a point when we were actively seeking the funding -- but the boost it gave us in reaching our current position at faster pace is unquestionable.What is the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you? Getting it out beats getting it right. Open your business up to feedback as early and frequently as possible. Then listen, consider and iterate.Which business person do you most admire and why? LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and his incredible eye for successful technology businesses. As well as being the founder of one of the most successful social media start-ups, he has also invested in Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, and Ning.I also love the metaphor he uses for start-ups learning to fail fast: "You jump off a cliff and you assemble an airplane on the way down."Do you think your business is a contender for Startup of the Week?

Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey to interview for Hornets' head coaching job
Mavericks assistant coach Dwane Casey is one of several candidates who will interview for the New Orleans Hornets' head coaching position, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Casey joined the Mavericks shortly after a head coaching stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2005-07.
Casey's name has also been discussed as a possibility for the Clippers' job and the 76ers' opening.
The Hornets' list of possible candidates also includes former Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, a New Orleans native.
Johnson was fired as Mavericks' head coach on April 30, 2008, a day after Dallas lost in the first round of the playoffs to New Orleans. Since then, he has worked as an NBA analyst for ESPN and ABC.

Redesigning Mobile from the Chip Up
A chip maker is offering a software platform that seeks to integrate apps and devices.
Hardware manufacturers are building more software than ever before. Chip maker Marvell, for example, plans to launch Kinoma, a software platform complete with apps that can give people a consistent user experience across multiple apps—and even devices.
"The motivation is that hardware is not just a chip anymore," says Peter Hoddie, vice president of the Kinoma platform at Marvell. Hoddie ran Kinoma before Marvell acquired it, and he is overseeing the launch of the new version of the software. "People making hardware are expected to deliver a lot of software," he says, because to deliver plenty of features on a low-powered system like a phone, the close integration of software and hardware can really help.
Kinoma Play, a product built on the Kinoma platform, is designed to demonstrate Kinoma's power and provide a starting place for developers who want to extend the platform further. The software can function as the center of a user's interaction with a device, and it comes loaded with more than 50 apps built by Kinoma. (It can also incorporate apps from third-party developers.)
But Hoddie says that what sets Kinoma Play apart is the care its developers took to tie apps together and give users a consistent, high-performance experience regardless of what they're using the phone for. "It's a different take on how apps behave," he says. "We have a world where the apps are cooperating and combining with each other."
For example, Kinoma Play includes a photo viewer that scrolls smoothly through hundreds of pictures, loads images at full resolution, and allows users to zoom in deep with the touch of a finger. When another app calls for viewing photos, the platform is designed to tie into that photo viewer so the user can retain Kinoma Play's look and controls.
Other features of Kinoma Play more explicitly pull apps together. If a user searches for "Nirvana," for example, the results will come not just from Google but also from other apps the user has downloaded, such as Twitter, YouTube, Pandora, and Wikipedia.
Hoddie notes that these features will run even more smoothly when the company finishes integrating the Kinoma platform with Marvell's hardware.

A major expansion is in the works at Asheville's Highland Brewing Co., a project that will increase the brewery's production by more than 50 percent, and eventually much more.
To fund it, Highland is exploring issuing $6.5 million in industrial development revenue bonds.
A team from Highland will meet Monday with the Buncombe County Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Authority to discuss the expansion, brewery founder and president Oscar Wong said. "It's really just the first step," toward possibly issuing bonds, he said. ...

What is the definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of heat measurement that tells us how much energy is contained in a food. This is a complex process to find this exact information in each individual food item, but to make it easier we just round all carbohydrates and proteins to containing 4 calories or 4 heat units and fat to containing 9 calories or 9 heat units.
What are proteins, carbohydrates and fats?
These are the main class of nutrients that we classify food under. We use this classification system to quickly identify the total amount of calories that a food has. Proteins are mostly meats, fats are mostly nuts, seeds and oils, and carbohydrates are almost everything else including: sugar, vegetables, fruits, cookies, crackers, whole grains.
Why isn't a calorie a calorie?
Just because the label says it has a nutrient doesnt mean that you can absorb it
All foods react very differently in our bodies, based on our own variability
A sugary food can cause you to gain more fat than a protein food or a fat food
Proteins are harder for the body to turn into fuel, so it increases metabolism
Proteins and fats interact with hormones in the body to help you lose fat
Why is believing a calorie is a calorie a bad thing?
Food Quality. If we believe that all calories are equal than we turn our focus away from the good foods that provide lots of nutrition and focus solely on the amount of energy a food provides. The foods that provide lots of energy suddenly become bad and the other foods are then labeled good. With this approach we view 100 calorie snack packs of cookies or chips as good foods because they are only 100 calories. These foods offer very little nutrition, are easy to consume and leave us feeling hungry when we finish eating them.
Healthy Relationship with Food. This belief also turns our focus to hitting a certain amount of calories per day and when we eat too many; we say that we are bad.
Manually Regulating Calories. Having to track on a daily basis the amount of calories you take in and energy out, is equivalent to tracking breaths in versus breaths out. When we eat high quality food, the quantity can be easier to manage, because the highest quality foods are the ones that fill us up and leaving us feeling satisfied.
Your Only Tool. If your only tool to lose weight or become healthier is to track calories, then if it doesnt work the way it should, you have no other answers.

Growth is focus as City Council, Issaquah School Board meet
May 1, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
City and Issaquah School District leaders pledged coordination and cooperation as the city outlines a bold plan to add thousands of residences in the decades ahead.
Discussion about the Central Issaquah Plan — a proposal to transform more than 900 acres near Interstate 90 and state Route 900 — and possible changes to the school district, such as redrawing boundaries for schools to accommodate population shifts, dominated the annual joint meeting April 24.
City Council and Issaquah School Board members, plus Mayor Ava Frisinger and Superintendent Steve Rasmussen and other officials, gathered at Mandarin Garden a week after school district voters approved a $219 million bond to fuel a school construction boom. The planned projects include major changes for schools in downtown Issaquah.
The groups, seated beneath red lanterns and arranged around lazy Susans, sipped tea and nibbled on fried rice and roast pork as discussion unfolded about long-term development plans. (The city hosted the meal and spent $311.24 on food and beverages.)
"Both organizations have gone from fast-growing organizations to more stable, mature organizations with different sets of issues," Council President Tola Marts said. "So, now the challenge is how do we manage the remaining growth that we have?"
City planners proposed adding 2,000 to 7,000 housing units in the 915-acre business district as the Central Issaquah Plan comes to fruition in the coming decades.
The plan aims to transform the area from strip malls and low-rise office buildings into a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. Such a shift could mean more children headed to local campuses.
"If I wind up voting for something at the end of the year that's a development agreement, I want to have an idea of how the schools piece of it is likely to fall out before I vote on that, because I don't want to create fear, uncertainty and doubt in that area," Marts said.
Rasmussen said school district and city officials must operate "in lockstep" as development causes more students to join the district. However, challenges remain, in part due to limited space in the area.
"Finding another school site in the valley is going to take some coordination, to say the least," said Jake Kuper, school district chief of finance and operations.
'One of our best assets'
Closer on the horizon is a proposed project on land near the Issaquah Highlands.
The city and landowner Lakeside Industries Inc. embarked on a process late last year to transform 80 acres into businesses and residences. If approved, the initial phase could add homes near the Issaquah Highlands Park & Ride.
Construction in the area could mean more students for Grand Ridge Elementary School, a crowded campus and a popular school. The campus opened in September 2006, as construction boomed in the surrounding highlands neighborhood.
Changes authorized in the latest bond measure could alleviate development pressures, officials said.
"Clark, as a brand new school, I think, will have a lot more appeal to folks up on the hill," school board President Chad Magendanz said. "I hope that's the case. The same is true of Sunny Hills."
The bond measure also authorized dollars to rebuild Sunny Hills Elementary School on the Sammamish Plateau.
"If their kids are in the Issaquah School District — whether it's Grand Ridge, whether it's Sunny Hills — they are getting an Issaquah-level education, and what we want of our teachers at one school is what we want of teachers at all of our schools," school board member Marnie Maraldo said.
The joint meeting afforded city officials a chance to tout a reformulated planning and permitting process to school district officials.
The process could prove useful as crews demolish and rebuild Clark Elementary, Issaquah Middle and Tiger Mountain Community High schools in a careful choreography. The overall project cost to replace the downtown Issaquah campuses is estimated at $108.6 million.
City officials also said the school district is a crucial piece in a refocused economic development initiative.
"One of our best assets is the school district," City Administrator Bob Harrison said. "So, as we go out, there may be opportunities to recruit corporate headquarters or whatever that may be coming here, having a team not just of our Economic Vitality Commission but school representatives that can talk about what a tremendous asset it is is going to be really important."

This is a sweet form of daliya (porridge) traditionally served during Dushehra. You can add lots of nuts, khoya and make it an outstanding dish.
Easy to make coconut laddoos. I love the way they crumble.
This 'Khao Neeo Mamuang', is an authentic sweet rice pudding that you find in Thailand. It's creamy, smooth, garnished with sesame seeds and is just great for after dinner with a nice cup of coffee.
I love this rich, decadent, not too sweet chocolate pudding. It's the perfect snack with a cuppa chai on a Sunday afternoon. This year we're making 'pudding Rakhis'- organic, edible rose petals with a dollop of pudding inside, fringed with mint leaves. 'Rakhi' is a big festival in our family, all my cousins and uncles come home, we tie them rakhis and then have a traditional Punjabi feast.
If you are like me and enjoy besan in sweets, then you will love Besan ladoo. What is even better is that they're very easy to make and keep well for many days. Not that they will last that long!
Shrikhand is a Maharashtrian-Gujarati sweet dish, great for festivals. It can be eaten by itself or as part of a meal. I like it with pooris.
My mom used to makes this as a treat when I got good marks in tests at school.
This is one of the most famous sweet dishes in Rajasthan. This sweet dish is made on every occasion especially weddings.
This is our favourite sweet dish during the winter months. The almonds give warmth to the body as well as strength to fight the extreme cold.
Here's a delicious dessert for the whole family. I've used sugar substitutes for diabetics. You can adjust the sugar according to taste.

|Pharmacogenetic analysis of adjuvant FOLFOX for Korean patients with colon cancer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23314736 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|PURPOSE: Ethnic diversity of genetic polymorphism can result in individual differences in the efficacy and toxicity of cancer chemotherapy. METHODS: We analyzed 20 germline polymorphisms in 10 genes (TS, MTHFR, ERCC1, XPD, XRCC1, ABCC2, AGXT, GSTP1, GSTT1 and GSTM1) from prospectively enrolled 292 Korean patients treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin plus leucovorin plus 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX) for colon cancer. RESULTS: In contrast to previous studies in Caucasians, neutropenia (grade 3-4, 60.5 %) was frequently observed, whereas only 16.4 % experienced grade 2 or more sensory neuropathy. Neutropenia was more frequent in MTHFR 677TT [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.32, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.19-4.55] and ERCC1 19007TT (adjusted OR 4.58, 95 % CI 1.20-17.40) genotypes. Patients harboring XRCC1 23885GG experienced less grade 2-4 neuropathy [adjusted OR 0.52, 95 % CI 0.27-0.99]. MTHFR 677TT (p = 0.002) and XRCC1 23885GG (p = 0.146) genotypes were also more prevalent in Koreans compared to Caucasians. TS 'low' genotype (adjusted HR 1.83, 95 % CI 1.003-3.34) was significantly related to shorter disease-free survival. Overall survival was not significantly different according to the polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS: Polymorphisms in MTHFR, XRCC1 and TS are related to toxicities and disease-free survival in patients with colon cancer. The ethnic differences in frequencies of genotypes may explain the ethnic difference in toxicity profile following adjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy.

Little Rock Police: Stopped vehicle wasn't stolen
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Authorities say an SUV driven by a man who was fatally shot by Little Rock police wasn't actually stolen, although officers thought it may have been stolen shortly before the driver was killed.
Little Rock Police said Monday that an SUV driven by 26-year-old Deon Williams appeared to match the description of a stolen vehicle.
However, Little Rock Police spokeswoman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said Tuesday that the vehicle wasn't actually stolen.
Authorities say Williams fled from police and produced a gun before an officer shot and killed him.
Dozens of people gathered near the scene of the shooting Monday, protesting Williams' death and others killed by police while also decrying George Zimmerman's recent acquittal in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
Ark. AG rejects wording of abortion amendment
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Arkansas' attorney general has rejected the wording of a proposed constitutional amendment that would declare that life begins at conception.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Tuesday cited ambiguities with the measure proposed for the 2014 ballot by a group called Personhood Arkansas. McDaniel must certify the measure before the group can begin gathering the 78,133 signatures from registered voters needed to place the question on the ballot.
The amendment would require Arkansas to "protect the life of every unborn child from conception until birth."
Arkansas' constitution currently states it's the state's policy to do so as permitted by the federal constitution.
McDaniel wrote that deleting the reference to the U.S. Constitution doesn't address the impact federal laws would have on the state's ability to restrict abortions.

He also says the company has worked to cut other expenses while absorbing rising costs of supplies, increases in charity care and bad debt.
Bradley Co. therapist convicted of Medicaid fraud
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A speech therapist from Bradley County has been convicted of Medicaid fraud for allegedly billing for services she didn't render.
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office said Tuesday that 61-year-old Karen Carraway of Warren has pleaded no contest to a Class B felony. Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen sentenced her to three years' probation plus a fine of $18,000 and restitution of $6,000.
The restitution is to be paid to the state's Medicaid program.
Carraway provided speech therapy services clients younger than 21. The attorney general's office was alerted by a parent who said she believed Carraway was billing for services months after treatment ended.
Investigators found multiple false claims January 2010 through October 2011. McDaniel's office says the total included 15 false claims during a stretch when Carraway was hospitalized.
Talk with child leads to Ark. marijuana patch
JONESBORO (AP) - Two Craighead County sheriff's deputies keeping an eye on a marijuana patch got some inadvertent help from the suspect's son.
The sheriff's office says that a man and his 4-year-old son rode up on an ATV as deputies watched the area on Friday.
The Jonesboro Sun reports that one deputy questioned the father while the other waited with the boy, who was still on the ATV. Deputies say the boy volunteered that he and his father were there to water their "tomato" plants.
The deputy asked the boy if he could show him the plants, and the child led the deputy to several of the plants.
Police say the father acknowledged growing the marijuana but said it was a hobby and he didn't use or sell the 14 plants.
Archeologists to dig at Fort Smith historic site
FORT SMITH (AP) - A group of National Park Service archeologists is beginning an exploratory dig on the grounds of the Fort Smith National Historic Site.
The two-day project, which begins Tuesday, will focus on a section of land near the site's commissary building where sidewalk construction is proposed. The archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center in Lincoln, Neb., will be looking at what's below the ground before construction begins on the sidewalk.
The commissary is Fort Smith's oldest standing structure and was built between 1838 and 1839.

The Canopy Project
As part of its mission to protect natural lands and preserve the environment for all people, Earth Day Network developed The Canopy Project. Rather than focusing on large scale forestry, The Canopy Project plants trees that help communities - especially the world's impoverished communities - sustain themselves and their local economies. Trees reverse the impacts of land degradation and provide food, energy and income, helping communities to achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Trees also filter the air and help stave off the effects of climate change.
With the reality of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns and more frequent and violent storms and floods, tree cover to prevent devastating soil erosion has never been more important. That's why Earth Day Network made a commitment to plant 10 million trees over the next five years in impoverished areas of the world, and a billion trees worldwide in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Please join us to help make this commitment a reality.
Over the past three years, The Canopy Project, has planted over 1.5 million trees in 18 countries. In the US, projects to restore urban canopies have been completed in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Flint, and Chicago. In Haiti alone, where earthquakes caused landslides on deforested hillsides, leading to horrific devastation, Earth Day Network planted 500,000 trees. And in three high-poverty districts in central Uganda, we planted 350,000 trees to provide local farmers with food, fuel, fencing, and soil stability.
Our tree plantings are supported by sponsors and individual donations and carried out in partnership with nonprofit tree planting organizations throughout the world. We work in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme's Billion Trees Campaign. Each tree planted is counted toward A Billion Acts of Green®.

We planted 350,000 trees in three high-poverty districts: Kiboga-Kyankwanzi, Kayunga and Kamuli. The plantings were carried out in partnership with Trees for the Future and local farmers. In the Kiboga-Kyankwanzi District, farmers planted trees for fuel wood, animal fodder, construction materials, and intercropping. In the Kayunga District, families planted trees for timber, to prevent soil erosion and mitigate the effects of storms, and to create living fences to protect their land from being seized by corrupt and influential farmers. In the Kamuli District, farmers planted trees to create boundaries on their land and to provide fodder for cattle, which they are keeping to produce raw material for a biogas project in the district.

Diplomacy: Obama and Chinese President Xi Agree to 'Phase Down' Super Greenhouse Gases
7:38 AM, Sep 6, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER
The White House made a foreign policy announcement this morning: "United States and China Reach Agreement on Phase Down of HFCs," the press release reads. HFCs are hydrofluorocarbons, which are sometimes called super greenhouse gases.
"Building on their June 8 accord on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in Sunnylands, President Obama and President Xi agreed at their bilateral meeting as a next step to establish a contact group under the Montreal Protocol on HFCs to consider issues related to cost-effectiveness, financial and technology support, safety, environmental benefits, and an amendment to the Montreal Protocol," reads the diplomatic announcement.
