Lenovo kicks off IdeaPad home notebook line
updated 08:35 am EST, Thu January 3, 2008
Lenovo IdeaPads
Aiming directly at the same retail space dominated by the likes of Acer and HP, Lenovo today introduced its new IdeaPad line of notebooks. The company claims to borrow the build quality of the ThinkPad series but adds that the new range has features just for home users: every model has touch-sensitive media controls, Dolby Home Theater audio processing, and a facial recognition system that uses a built-in webcam for security and other features. The IdeaPads' construction is also unique among home notebooks: each has a "frameless" display that lets the LCD run nearly to the edges of the bezel, allowing the PC maker to place a large screen in a relatively small space.
The series is headlined by the 17-inch Y710. It focuses on gaming with programmable keys, an optimized directional keypad, and a four-speaker system with a subwoofer; it also boasts the strongest performance of the collection with up to a 2.5GHz Penryn-era Core 2 Duo, 2GB of memory, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 for video. The system will hold up to 500GB of hard drive space across two disks and has the option of a Blu-ray combo drive. It should ship in February at a base $1,199.
In turn, the 15.4-inch Y510 is pitched at a wider audience that wants the media features without the accompanying cost. It too shares the more elaborate four-speaker setup and comes with 2GB of memory but uses a newly introduced budget 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo to drop prices without compromising too much on performance. It should ship first, arriving by the end of this month for $799.
A final model, the U110, is one of the few home-oriented ultraportables on the market. The 11-inch system weighs just 2.3 pounds and measures just 0.7 inches deep; Lenovo has yet to supply full specs but notes that the computer will have the option of a solid-state drive as well as a conventional spinning hard disk. More details should be ready closer to the U110's estimated April shipping window.

During times of crisis Americans rightfully expect their president to be many things, including an Empathizer-in-Chief.
Given his presidency has been a complete failure when it comes to the economy, foreign policy, transparency, and job creation, one could only hope Obama would have tried a little harder to show us he can feel our pain. But, some things can't be faked. Empathy is one of them.
Ask Charles Woods, the father of the slain Navy Seal hero Tyrone Woods, who was killed during the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Sure, Obama appeared to be empathetic when standing near the four flag-draped caskets at the highly publicized memorial service at Andrews Air Force Base, but behind-the-scenes - not so much. Woods went public to say Obama refused to make eye contact with him at the service and said Obama mumbled a "totally insincere, more of a whining type, 'I'm sorry."'
Woods said Obama's handshake was "like shaking hands with a dead fish."
Dead fish. Okay, I get the lack of eye contact, considering certain facts and emails continue to surface pointing toward a full-fledged cover-up, but a "dead fish" handshake? Wow.
According to an interview with Fox News last weekend, retired intelligence officer Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer claims, according to his sources, President Obama was watching the attack go down, "in real time."
After being told to "stand down" twice, Tyrone (and five ot hers) made the gutsy decision to disobey orders to rescue those in harm's way. Tyrone's father told Fox News, "For seven hours, the cowards in the White House were watching something they knew that was going to potentially kill those 30 people and potentially kill my son"»they had a moral duty to send support and they chose not to"»".
Hours later, President Obama hopped on his jet to entertain followers in Las Vegas. He began his remarks speaking to the "tough day we had today"»" How nice it would have been if Tyrone Woods and three others could have lived to talk about theirs.
Lest you think President Obama's bizarre handling of Benghazi is an anomaly, think again. Remember Fort Hood?
Just hours after the attack as death tolls and injury numbers rose - a fairly jovial Obama made his first public statement about the shootings.
Obama's short statement about "a tragic shooting," came after his two minute lighthearted "shout out" (his words) to an audience member and talk about the necessity for healthcare reform.
The obvious disconnect was shocking.
Providence, by way of Hurricane Sandy, has granted Obama one last chance to show us that he is not the heartless clod he comes across as during times of crisis. I was almost impressed to see him at FEMA headquarters Sunday - just up until he jetted off to Florida for a campaign rally Sunday night; he was "coming early to try to beat the storm" according to the Huffington Post. Sure, he returned to D.C. hours later, but isn't that the least he could do after four years of campaigning?

I just donated something through the PayPal donation page.
It was in German and I couldn't get it to traslate to English, not even the login section.
Firefox said the certificate was authentic, so I donated anyway.
This may scare some people off, though. Just saying...
Robin Krom
Hi, thank you for reporting this and thank you very much for the donation, it arrived.
I understand this is confusing and we will check this out!!
Best wishes,
Steve Romanow
I saw this as well, but when I got logged in to Paypal is changed to
Jens Klingen
Hi everybody,
Thanks for your useful feedback! Indeed, I just found out that this is caused by a Paypal setting, which had "Germany - English" set. So that's what German English looks like ;-)
Anyway, I changed it, and now it looks like US English (which is far better of course).
Interesting side issue: the English page also has a link to switch language on top, the German page has none... strange...
Thanks again for letting us know :)
Best regards,
Agostino Sturaro
Thanks for fixing this quickly :-)

Book Signing Slated for What We Have, What We Share
Book Signing Slated for What We Have, What We Share
A Compilation of Stories on Breast Cancer Patients and Their Daughters
M. D. Anderson News Release 04/24/02
Dr. Eva Singletary, Alice Judkins R.N., M.S. and Holly Masturzo will be on hand to sign their inspirational book, What We Have, What We Share: Stories of Mothers and Daughters Bonding through Breast Cancer. The book signing will take place on May 8, 5-7 p.m. at Houston's River Oaks Book Store, 3270 Westheimer Rd. The book's sales benefit breast cancer education programs at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, where Dr. Singletary is professor of surgery in the Department of Surgical Oncology.
The paperback compilation features the emotional stories of 12 breast cancer patients and how facing their disease touched their own lives as well as their relationships with their daughters. Each chapter includes a photo of the woman with her daughter or daughters (by Karen Barfield) as well as the candid stories of their bond. For the little girls too young to articulate their feelings, crayon drawings show how they felt about their mother's experience, including the heart-warming rendering of "A Dance With Mom's I.V. Pole."
The book's title, What We Have, What We Share, originated from "having" the disease of breast cancer and "sharing," in addition to that common bond, a worry facing women family members forever: close vigilance for signs of breast cancer. The cover artwork (by Richard Soler) depicts three multicultural generations of women affected by breast cancer and is fashioned from clothing pieces of the breast cancer patients profiled within the pages.
Publication of the book was made possible by generous donations from the Stanford and Joan Alexander Foundation, Anita and Arthur Kotlen in memory of Gertrude Kotlen and an educational grant from the CYTYC Health Corporation.
Designed and printed by The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Printing Services in Houston, the book costs $14.95. What We Have, What We Share is on sale at the River Oaks Bookstore, 3270 Westheimer, and the shop is handling sales as a community service.

1980 Mercedes Benz 450slc • V8 2WD Automatic • 112 miles
I bought my first 450SLC from EBay and got ripped off bad. The dealer sold it to me as a drive accross the country car. Just get in and drive. Ya right! The engine smokes, knocks, drips and leaks, no a/c, heater, radio, steering has three inches of play at the wheel and the list goes on and on. I have many vacuum leaks and have fixed most all of them with a smoke tester. I see a vacuum trunk opener in the trunk behind a panel while checking for all vacuum leaks, and can not find the control to open the trunk in the cabin. Do you know where it is? What it should look like? Maybe it has been removed by the previous owner. I am a new owner of Mercedes-Benz and find an over engineered clustor of items in and behind the dash. Got a repair manual and have started to restore this old girl. I have had a shop charge me over $1.5K just to fix the A/C that quit working the next stop light. I found an old school mechanic that only charges $55 per hour and has fixed all the mistakes the first shop broke during the test. I will get even with them with all the documentation old school has done. So any help is greatly appreciated because I have exhausted my savings account on this old girl.

The opener should be on the door panel if it has one. It sounds like that is the least of your worries. I couldn't agree more with you are far as over engineering. They are great vehicles when they work, but when they break, you need to have a lot of money. Many of the vehicles of this caliber are the same. They are great when they run, but when they break, you'll wish you had an American car. Much cheaper to repair.

4 weeks ago today i was raped in my own home by my ex partner. That very night i went to bed celebrating 4 weeks without him . He manipulated his way into my home, i had never known him to be violent towards me so i trusted i should atleast be safe. No i wasn't , he did it and left. It was horrible, painful, aggressive and humiliating.
I reported to police the next day, it's all on. And anybody on here that has reported will know what i mean. I have good evidence, witnesses....etc
Great family, great lawyer already, great friends who i trust. But i find myself sitting here typing with tears that i cant stop. I have all this amazing support but i cant cope. I am not coping, i was already on anti depressants before the incident and will keep that going. I have my first counselling session with the appropriate networks this coming week. His arrest is not far away. I have already had 2 court appearances, I feel like on the inside i am screaming and cant stop that feeling.
I wish it had have happened to someone else, i want my old life back. I don't want to cry anymore !! i don't want to be angry anymore, i want to be able to do my job ( i cant even do that)....I am in fact HOPELESS....thats how i feel right now
sorry of this this is a really negative introduction, i have been reading for a few days and think its important for me to link in here if i can for some support.

Markets continued to retreat after Fridays big falls. In Europe, Spanish regional elections have done little to impact the EUR which traded 1.0350 and the GBP 1.6000.
Eurozone Debt to GDP rose to 87.3% which is closing fast upon the magical 100% which has lead to many individual national crises. In the US, markets were lower after further weak Corporate earnings and confidence on the slide. The focus is on the fast approaching Presidential Elections and the final Presidential debate overnight.
In Asia the mood was set with deteriorating Trade data from Japan with Exports declining over 10% and Imports on the rise.
In Australia, the Government has released a mid-year Budget update early to avoid inclusion of declining revenues form an economy impacting by falling global demand. The AUD held 1.0300 after the announcement, although does look vulnerable to the Global instability. The KIWI continues to trade around the 0.8150 levels.
Focus today will be political in Europe and especially the US!

Family Cycling in Montreal
"If you go this way, it will be about six kilometres." A sharp pain hit my chest as I heard those words. The young employee at Ça Roule, a cycling shop in Old Montreal, was tracing a course on a map with his finger. "It's an easy route."
Well, easy if you cycle every week, but not if you haven't taken your dusty bike out of the basement for over seven years. I do spend about ten minutes on an exercise bike sporadically, but I had a feeling that patchy activity I like to pass off as physical fitness wasn't going to be much help in this situation. And we weren't just talking about a few kilometres on a cruiser bike.
Getting Started
Our destination was La Ronde, an amusement park on Île Sainte-Hélène on the St. Lawrence River, an island known for being the location of Expo 67. I'd be walking around the park for a few hours and then cycling back to Old Montreal again, a very difficult and painful 12 kilometre round trip. And I would pretty much be on my own.
My husband, Phil, would have his hands full cycling with our six-year-old Madison on a Trail-a-Bike, a one-wheeled extension with pedals and fixed handlebars attached to the seat post of his rented bike. To further complicate things, dark clouds threatening to burst at any moment had now replaced the pristine, blue sky that had greeted us early that morning. I immediately began calculating how much it would cost to taxi the bike and myself back to the shop upon my likely collapse.
I guess I could back out, but that would disappoint Madison and my husband, a once avid cyclist. As well, I would look like a big chicken once this story got out, and believe me, it would get out.
With our helmets on and belongings strapped safely to the bikes, we got on our way. Or rather, Phil and Madison got on their way. While they biked across the street and started riding the trail going along the St. Lawrence River, I slowly walked my bike over to it. I decided to adjust my helmet again and contemplated applying sunscreen, although it was likely going to rain at any moment.
Finally, there was no more delaying it. I told myself it was time to go and I rationalized that broken bones heal and that helmets protect your head. So, with one final deep breath, I was off! I did some white-knuckle wobbling for a few metres but soon got the hang of it. I was going at a snail-like pace, but at least I was moving. The trail was smooth and well marked, so that was going to help me out a lot.
Our Route
Feeling more confident, it was time to enjoy the sights the St. Lawrence River had to offer. This was the more industrial area of the quay, but the large freighters – some quite rusty – were fascinating as they were docked in sleepy silence along the trail. I caught up with the Lance Armstrong wannabes. Lucky for me they had stopped, but Phil was looking perplexed at the map we had been given at Ça Roule. He wasn't sure if we were on the right track to Île Sainte-Hélène.
As we debated over our next move, a couple of uniformed bike riders stopped next to us. They were police officers in training whose job is maintaining order along the bike trails and helping out cyclists. While they spoke to us, another cyclist rounding a corner too quickly ended up taking a spill, so one of the women ran over to make sure he was OK as he sheepishly got up. I thought to myself, what a great idea to have these teams out and about.
But although they were extremely nice and really tried to help us, the two cadets weren't quite sure how to get to La Ronde on our suggested route. Well, the dark clouds seemed heavier than ever and we seemed to be lost in Old Montreal. Even our six-year-old was getting worried. It wouldn't have been a terrible idea to head back to the bike shop, but we weren't prepared to pull a cowardly lion just yet.
We retraced our steps and found a small bridge to go over, but we were now on Mill Street biking along huge factories and sharing the road with monster transport trucks. My confidence evaporated as my cycling became more erratic than a turkey drunk on brandy. After a few minutes we spotted cyclists whizzing by at alarming speeds at the end of the street and I breathed a sigh of relief. We had found the bike trail again.
We could now see the City of Montreal on the other side of the St. Lawrence. As we cycled along admiring the scenic river route to our left, we stopped in front of the remarkable Habitat 67 project. Built for Expo 67 by Moshe Sadie, a university student studying architecture at McGill, Habitat 67 was a vision of housing in the future. We marveled at the three-dimensional stacked cube design and wondered what vintage treasures might be furnishing the occupied units.
According to the map we had, it was time to leave the bike trail and go through some parkland. We were thrilled to see another Expo 67 remnant, a gigantic blue robot sculpture, standing guard in the quiet park. At almost ten metres high it was quite impressive.
We crossed the road to get to the bike trail again and within minutes we were on the grounds of the Biosphère, that enduring symbol of Expo 67. Although built to house the United States pavilion at that time, these days the structure is dedicated to the study of environmental issues.
My legs were telling me (actually screaming) that it was time for a break and this was the ideal place to stop. After we parked our bikes, Madison and I walked into the sphere while Phil explored outside. We didn't have time to check out all the exhibits, but just walking through it was an amazing experience. I felt as if I had stumbled on to the film set of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The intricate metal lattice that towered above our heads felt more in place in space rather than a Montreal park.
After our much needed break we realized we were only about five minutes away from our intended destination as we spotted roller coasters in the distance. We continued along the bike trail, went under the noisy Pont Jacques-Cartier, the bridge connecting Montreal to Île Sainte-Hélène, and voila, we had arrived intact, bikes and all.
"Half way there," I thought. Now that wasn't so bad, even if my lower extremities were numb, perhaps from use of muscles that didn't know what their real purpose really was until this moment.
La Ronde, Canada's second largest amusement park, was fantastic. We ate, rested, took in some rides, walked around and then it was time to leave at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Of course, the moment we strapped our helmets back on, those darks clouds made good on their threat. It began to pour, but we decided not to wait it out and go for it. As we began, Phil yelled over the rain and wind to be careful. The trail was now very slick and it would make it harder to break.
With no stops, the ride back took only 30 minutes. We were drenched, but as if on cue, the moment the yellow sign of Ça Roule was in our sightline the rain stopped and the sun came out to dry our helmets and rain jackets.
As we handed back the bikes, Phil and Madison had big smiles on their faces. And so did mine, but it was for a different reason. I couldn't believe how scared I had been just a few hours ago.

In October, I had the privilege of going to Washington D.C. on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight. It was an experience that I will never forget.
We toured the World War II, Korean, Lincoln, and Iwo Jima, Army, Navy, Air force, Marines and a few other memorials. We also went to Arlington National Cemetery and saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. At the tomb, it is eerily quiet. Hardly a word is spoken. The captain of the guard that day gave us veterans a salute. It is not a salute that most did not recognize. As they cannot do anything out of step, the salute was done by him dragging his foot in only one step. What respect these soldiers had for us.
It was a day filled with laughter and some tears. We exchanged some stories from years gone by. Some new friendships were formed. I was really touched by the way the people in our nation's capital treated us. When we arrived at Reagan International Airport, all the people we saw, which included all the shopkeepers and customers, the other people who were either flying out or arriving like we had, and even people who were just there waiting for someone to arrive, stopped what they were doing and applauded us. That really meant a lot to us.
After our day of touring, and on the flight back to Mosinee, we had mail call. It was kind of like being back in Korea over 60 years ago. Let me tell you about our experience when we arrived in Mosinee at the airport. There were so many people there with flags and banners and signs wishing us "welcome home" that most of us old veterans had tears in our eyes.
Originally, when we were discharged for the service, were we flown to Seattle or other cities. When we arrived at the airport in a city far from our homes in the Midwest, there was nobody to greet us. It was a different time then and mom and dad back home could not take time or have money to greet us at the airport half a country away. To drive to Seattle back then would have taken the better part of a week. The interstate highway system was nothing like it is today.
At Mosinee, there were the honor guards there from many Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, American Legion clubs and the Knights of Columbus. This also meant a lot to us. There was a marching band; I think as there was much music and noise.
So at this time, and I am sorry I took so long to do this, but I want to publicly thank all the groups, family members and friends who came out to the airport and welcomed us home.

Sam Loeffler and his brother Pete formed Chevelle in Chicago in 1995. After climbing to the top of the local hard rock scene, the band entered the studio with legendary producer Steve Albini and recorded their debut album Point #1 in 1999. After several high profile tours, Chevelle were signed by Epic Records, and in 2001 they entered the studio to record their second album Wonder What's Next. Propelled by the single "Send the Pain Below," which climbed to #1 on the Mainstream and Modern Rock chart, the album quickly went platinum and Chevelle were one of the main stage attractions at that summer's Ozzfest.
The next year, the band released the concert CD and DVD Live From the Road, and in 2004 they returned to the studio to record their third album This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). The disc continued Chevelle's winning streak; "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" climbed to #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart and "The Clincher" also received heavy airplay.
With the release of VENA SERA, Chevelle returned stronger and more tightly knit then ever. Not only does the album reveal the band's musical growth, it revels in a renewed sense drive and determination.
In 2014, CHEVELLE opened yet another doorway on their seventh full-length record, La Gárgola [Epic Records]. After nearly two decades together, six albums, and countless sold out gigs, the Chicago alternative rock outfit confidently sail through uncharted waters and emerge with a collection that's equally intricate and intimate.

NerdWallet ranks best states for homeowners to go solar
- Details
- Published: August 12, 2013
- Written by Chris Meehan
It seems like everyone is coming out with best state's lists these days. Just recently Environment America came out with its dazzling dozen list of solar-friendly states. Now NerdWallet, a financial advice site, has thrown its wallet into the fray with a list of top five states for solar. Among them are Arizona, California, Delaware, Hawaii and Maryland.
NerdWallet's conclusions are akin to Environment America's findings but has the top states in different order. For instance California topped NerdWallet's list while Arizona topped Environment America's list. However, Environment America's study looked at the amount of solar per capita, whereas NerdWallet is looking at what states offer the best combination of factors to make solar worthwhile for a homeowner.
Both studies attributed state solar energy policies as a key contributor to leading states' reasons for having so much solar. The two most important policies were net-metering policies and renewable energy standards, which require utilities to purchase solar, wind or other renewable energy sources. Another key was whether the states allowed solar leases or third-party ownership.
NerdWallet ranked the states based on four criteria: electric cost, economic incentives, amount of sunshine and amount of solar already installed. "Solar is most advantageous for consumers who already face increasingly expensive electricity bills," NerdWallet's Laura Zulliger. Hence California and Hawaii—two of the states with the highest electric rates in the U.S.—made the list. Hawaii, which has the most expensive electricity, was second on the list.
The study also looked at Solar Power Rocks' results regarding the quality of each state's incentive programs. "Many states, notably Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey and New York, have made commitments to helping residents' transition to solar and offer excellent incentives, tax rebates, grants, and subsidies for solar installation," Zulliger said. The study also looked at how much capacity each state has for solar electric generation.
NerdWallet gave California the highest rating because of its renewable portfolio standard, which requires utilities to 33 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. "This high goal encourages generous rebates from utilities to help cover the cost of installation in addition to cash back incentives once the system is in use given support from the California Solar Initiative," it said. "Cities and municipalities provide even more incentives: in San Francisco cash back incentives range from $2,000 to up to $10,000 depending on household income."
Hawaii, with electric prices of 36 cents per kilowatt hour was second. That state has a 35 percent tax credit for solar or a $5,000 credit. Arizona was third, since it has some of the best sun on earth for PV and offers up to a $1,000 rebate and some utilities in the state cover up to 50 percent of installation costs.
Maryland, which has a 20 percent renewable energy standard, was fourth. It offers a $1,000 grant for solar installations and a good net metering program. According to NerdWallet, a solar array in Maryland will typically pay for itself within eight years. Delaware was fifth. Its goal is to source 25 percent of its energy from renewables by 2026. In Delaware a system could pay for itself in five years, thanks to the state's incentive offerings and electric prices.

To nurture the next generation of food retailers, industry leaders and educators must find new ways to work together.
By Richard J. George, Ph.D.
This year, the food marketing enterprise at Saint Joseph's University is celebrating 50 years of education and service to the food industry. As we engage in a yearlong calendar of commemorative events, I am reminded of the great relationships we have enjoyed with food retailers and the food and allied companies that serve American families. Our primary goal is to prepare tomorrow's leaders for this terrific industry. We could not do this without the financial support of the industry as well as the commitment to hire these bright young men and women, whether for internships, cooperative experiences or their first job upon graduation. Likewise, our executive master's in food marketing is designed to insure "lifelong" learning for the industry.
However, there are even more opportunities for collaboration between industry and academia. Allow me to share a couple of examples of such collaboration that you might want to pursue with your local university.
Walmart Scholars
In the context of a food retailing class, students are given a specific "challenge" project developed by Walmart, a consumer package goods manufacturer (currently Nestlé), and Neill Crowley, a member of the food marketing faculty. Student teams conduct extensive primary and secondary research. Most of the students' time in conducting primary research is spent working in specifically assigned Walmart stores interviewing customers and working with store personnel to develop solutions to their "challenge" project.
In class, students are exposed to guest speakers from Walmart, Nestlé, Nielsen and other industry executives who provide valuable "real world" insights and information that the students can use in preparing their "challenge" solutions, recommendations, and perspectives. Some classes are held in Walmart stores and field trips to Walmart's distribution center are part of the course content. The intent is to provide the Walmart Scholar with a comprehensive "real world" understanding of how Walmart and Nestlé work together to solve a problem.
This past fall semester "challenge" project was entitled "Fully Servicing the SNAP And WIC Customer During High Voucher Redemption Periods." The Walmart Scholar teams conducted rigorous and extensive primary and secondary research and presented their strategic and tactical findings and recommendations as to how to achieve a better in-stock position on Nestle brands (as well as other family groups) during the first 10 days of the month while targeting a specific customer demographic and psychographic profile.
At the end of the semester, the student teams presented their findings and recommendations to a panel of judges from Walmart, Nestlé, the department and the Academy of Food Marketing. Feedback from all involved was one of unbridled enthusiasm. Cash prizes and other awards were presented to the winning team as well as the runners-up.
Summer Scholars
The university offers a summer scholars program whereby students work with selected faculty on common research projects. This past summer one of my summer scholars, Bridget Babson, developed "An Interactive Approach to Educating Philadelphia Youth and Their Families on Nutrition."
The research emanated from the growing nationwide obesity epidemic and the fact that Philadelphia is statistically the most obese among the ten largest cities. This unwanted distinction is no doubt a reflection of the high proportion of low-income families living in the city, since nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains often cost more than fast food or snack items. Access to these foods is another obstacle to establishing healthy eating practices, as many sections of the city have been deemed food deserts.
With this as background, Bridget developed 123.Eat: A Nutrition Education Toolkit for Children and Their Families. The toolkit covered areas such as calories, food labels, in the kitchen, getting food and getting fit. For each area she provided easy explanations and simple examples which could be understood by the intended audience. The toolkit is fun and easy to read and represents an opportunity for a retailer and manufacturer to give back to the community in an efficient and effective manner and at the same time develop a differential advantage.
I recommend that retailers and their CPG counterparts consider developing similar programs with a neighboring university. The investment is minor, but the results are significant. I would be more than happy to provide additional information on both of these collaborations as well as send an electronic copy of the Nutrition Education Toolkit.

On the corner of 7th and Market streets stands a colonial Georgian brick house that most of us walk right by without even noticing. It was in this structure in June of 1776 that Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, that famous document that oh-so-eloquently announced the beginning of a new and independent American nation. Within this document, Jefferson declares "all men are created equal ... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." Meanwhile, over the course of his life, Jefferson owned 600 people—scores of men, women and children—as property.
Later on in his only published book, 1785's Notes of the State of Virginia, Jefferson compiled information regarding the natural history, inhabitants and political organization of the state, including a most extensive discussion of his views on race. Like many others during the time, Jefferson believed that blacks were fundamentally inferior to whites. He questioned whether their low status was due to inherent inferiority or to generations of degrading enslavement. Even during his terms as president, Jefferson hinted at the idea of a gradual emancipation, though he made no real moves to incorporate these ideals into actual policy and remained publicly silent on the matter.
Through late October, the National Constitution Center will host and house Slavery at Jefferson's Monticello, a striking, in-depth look at the families of enslaved Africans who worked, lived and died at Jefferon's historic Virginia plantation. Focusing on the lives and trials of the Fossett, Granger, Gillette, Hemings, Hern and Hubbard families, the exhibit features more than 280 artifacts that represent each family's trade, as well as personal items of Jefferson himself. Guests are encouraged to explore the U.S.' brutal history of slavery in hopes that they will be curious about their own family's heritage—and celebrate how far, as Americans, we've all come. // KENNEDY ALLEN

Yummie, good enough to eat!
very sharp photo
like it.
Nominating Constructive Critique
This is a really good image.
For me what it lacks the "subject WOW" 3 of the strawberries are great "Stand In's", but the Star on the fore left did not win any awards.
Juicy Strawberries is what I relate to and I think most people, so when they are cut in half juice is what we expect - add some drops - give it a squeeze - get the juices following - make my mouth water - then you have a WOW image.
If you can not taste it when you photograph it then it will not work.
Still a good image and worth a vote.
Nominating Constructive Critique
nice sharp image
Nominating Constructive Critique
Very sharp, nice detail and rich color
Nominating Constructive Critique
Nice choice of subject and that front straberry is pin sharp.
I like you lighting too, really bright and fresh which is in keeping with your subject. I like the little highlights captured on the top of strawberry.
Not too sure about the straberry cut in half, the lighting on the leaf is lovely, but there is no real interest in the smooth inner part of the strawberry in contrast with the textured outer part.
Nice vibrant colours too.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hmm I like the cut strawberry, the fleshiness is a nice contrast to the shiny dimples of the other strawberries. The lighting is good, especially the backlit leaves, and you have even caught the tiny tiny hairs on the strawberries.
It would be good if the corner top left was completely filled with red strawberry (I think there is a bit of leaf maybe?) but overall I think this is a good sharp image with lots of detail and lovely colour
Nominating Constructive Critique
Nominating Constructive Critique
Great subject and it's very well executed. The lighting is just right for most of the image giving attractive highlights and backlighting on the leaves, the depth of field is spot on with the rear strawberries just starting to fade out and the front strawberries and leaves are perfectly sharp.
The composition is good but the distracting gap in the top left and the lesser one in the top middle might have been avoided by a fractionally tighter crop.
The sliced fruit should work but, for some reason that I can't figure out, doesn't quite do so for me. I think it's because the angle of light on it has removed any shadows so that there's no texture on it though there is more in the large version. Andy's suggestion above of water or juice droplets might well work. Perhaps a very slight rotation of that fruit to catch more light would have worked but then you'd have to be careful with the dof !!
Anyway, I really like the image so please don't take the minor criticism the wrong way. As you said on my image - it's not easy this critiquing is it ?
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks for all the comments. Totally agree with them all. It has been really useful to hear what others think, and certainly prompted a rethink of the shot.
The water droplet on the sliced fruit is a particulary good idea.
Hopefully this critiquing will become easier as time goes on.....
Nominating Constructive Critique
I have spent ages looking at this and it seems to me that the main light is coming from the left. I am wondering if it might have been better to have had the half strawberry on the RHS as the moisture on the cut surface may then have been more evident, always supposing it was freshly cut. I have done a couple of fruity images since this challenge and it is surprising how quickly it dries out.
Having said that, you have made the fruit look very appetising, with lovely detail and colours and overall the shot works well.
I am very nervous about giving critique, particularly on the technicalities and like you I am hoping that it will get easier.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi Les
Sorry, a bit late adding my critique!
I fall into the camp of really liking the contrast between the two halves of the strawberry which are so very different to each other.
I agree with a couple of others - there are slight distractions top left and top middle, but a tiny crop on both sides would solve these.
Really like the backlight on the greenery and also the way it isolates the subjects from the background. Just wonder whether a reflector could have placed a little more light between the two halves and maybe added some catchlights on the juice that is there and that everyone is wanting to see!
My only other comment is that I think I'd prefer a little more DOF coming forward just to bring out some more of the excellent detail of the seeds on the right
But all minor points in a great image
Nominating Constructive Critique
You can't go much wrong with strawberries can you? They are just by themselves, beautiful works of art.
I like the composition and the sliced one on the left contrasting with the seedy bodies of the others, I would like to see just a touch more light on the cut one, it feels like it's in shadow, and maybe some water glistening and dripping down it as it looks a bit dry and strawberries are juicy.
Hope that was OK

Product Description
Bonus Feature:
"The Making of The Captains"
Sitting in a starship captain's chair is a big job. Making a documentary about the actors whose posteriors have occupied that hallowed space through four decades of "Star Trek" and its spin-offs takes a big man. Thank the Vulcan gods that William Shatner was available.
In "The Captains," which Mr. Shatner wrote and directed, he interviews the five performers who have succeeded him as "Star Trek" leaders, on starships or space stations: Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine. The film will make its debut on Friday on the Epix premium-cable channel and epixhd . com as part of Shatnerpalooza, a conglomeration of television marathon, film screenings and live appearances.
A couple of observations: Mr. Shatner is pretty much always available. The Biography channel is now showing the second season of his interview show, "Aftermath With William Shatner." He has a new album, "Searching for Major Tom," due out later this year. He will accept your homage on Facebook (90,000 fans and counting) and let you know when he's coming to a convention near you.
And, as you might have guessed: "The Captains" turns out to be largely about William Shatner. That's not a criticism. Mr. Shatner's genial, relaxed self-absorption is a large part of his charm, along with his odd cadences and his unparalleled knack for blurring the line between pomposity and sincerity. He has a kind of reverse Midas effect: everything he touches should turn creepy, but somehow it doesn't.
Much of the fun of watching "The Captains" is waiting to see just how shameless a huckster and self-promoter Mr. Shatner can be. You don't have to wait long. He starts his journey by flying to England to visit Mr. Stewart, and on the tarmac he greets an executive of the aerospace company whose plane will carry him. It's a blatant product placement, but it's more than that: in the course of the conversation, it comes out that the man's career choice was inspired by "Star Trek." "He became an aeronautical engineer because of me!" Mr. Shatner says, with limpid satisfaction.
This two-for-one reciprocal endorsement is so good that it's brought up again near the end of the film, in a rather astounding monologue delivered to Mr. Stewart. Hearing the engineer's story, Mr. Shatner says, has cured him of his long-standing embarrassment about playing Capt. James T. Kirk. It's a lengthy anecdote that includes an ever so slightly bitter reference to the Emmy nominations Leonard Nimoy received for the original "Star Trek." Mr. Stewart can only nod, his face frozen in what looks like deep apprehension for what his supposed interviewer will say next.
"The Captains" has many more moments like that, which makes it pretty tolerable as vanity projects go. And it should be catnip for Trekkers and Trekkies, a number of whom are seen at a Las Vegas "Star Trek" convention reacting to Mr. Shatner's presence with appropriate reverence. ("Oh my God," a woman says. "I was this close.")
Striding among the booths, he encounters a series of actresses who are there to make money off their "Trek" connections -- Jeri Ryan, Sally Kellerman, Grace Lee Whitney (the ageless Yeoman Rand). Each time he turns to the camera and says, this was the most beautiful girl in the history of "Star Trek." And each time, you almost think he means it. -- The New York Times, July 21, 2011

Mavs coach on Howard's return: 'This is obviously a day we've been looking forward to for a while'
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said in his pre-game visit with the media that, indeed, forward Josh Howard will be active for tonight's game and will play. He wouldn't say if he'd start or not.
"The most important thing about this is he's gone through one process of having two surgeries in one day and basically a six-month rehab and now this starts another process of just getting back into being on the floor," Carlisle said. "I think it's important to understand what he's been through and make sure expectations are somewhat tempered, but this is obviously a day we've been looking forward to for a while. We'll see how it goes, but we're excited that he's available."
Forwards Drew Gooden, Tim Thomas and Shawne Williams are inactive tonight for the Mavericks. For Toronto, it looks like guard/forward Sonny Weems of Arkansas, forward Reggie Evans and guard Quincy Douby won't play.

Great scene! It's easily my favorite.
Another great show on FX network.
Laughed till I cried.
Louis C.K. keeps bringing the laughs, whether on TV or in the clubs http://bit.ly/9Pusf8
This show is only going to get better and better. Louis CK is a very funny man.
FX' Louie is funny, thought provoking, sharply executed. And the poker ep is only the 2nd of the series. i agree with commenter JC, this show is only going to get better and better.
Saw his new show for the first time last night and I laughed until I cried. It's definitely the funniest show on tv in a long time. I loved his visit to the doctor, you don't see that every day on tv. It's great fun.
This was a groundbreaking scene. Sh1t hot.
It says a lot about our culture that this is considered insightful or "groundbreaking". Having a basic sense of historical awareness and sensitivity is profound? Just like Rick, I think it can be ok to push limits, but it should go without saying that you also be aware of the possible impacts before doing so.

Focused on discovery and collaboration, a revitalized Moffitt Library will be dedicated to supporting undergraduate research.
Moffitt Library serves as a gateway for many Berkeley undergraduates, introducing them to the scholarly community. Yet the modes of scholarship for students have dramatically changed over the past decades, and the library must evolve to meet these new opportunities and demands. Flexible, collaborative, technology-rich spaces are required to support the current learning and research needs of our undergraduates.
The mission of a public university like Cal blends excellence and accessibility. In fact, fully one-third of incoming students are from low-income families, and one-third come from families in which neither parent has a four-year college degree. In this setting it is essential to offer a library that inspires undergraduates in developing their own research abilities and curiosity.
Moffitt Library Revitalization
Our goal is to serve the extraordinarily diverse, talented students at Cal - the young scholars who will be helping to create the world of tomorrow.

Brentwood track project could affect events
The Brentwood Football Stadium turf is ready for play, but the new track won't be finished for the start of the school year as planned.
The six-lane, 400-meter track at Brentwood Park now will be ready by about the end of September, Councilman John Frombach said Tuesday night. Inclement weather has caused delays in the $8 million park overhaul. Council on Tuesday voted to continue with the installation of the track.
The district leases the field from the borough for various activities. The delay will cause some scheduling conflicts for soccer, cross-country, and junior varsity football, said Rick Huffman, Brentwood Borough School District athletic director.
The varsity football team's first home game on Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m. against Serra Catholic and should not be affected by the installation, which will begin the week after when the football team is on the road.
Once the asphalt is in place for the track, there is a 15-day curing period before the surface can be installed. Laying the track surface could take an extra 10 days, officials said.
Heavy rain in recent weeks has slowed installation of the track, said Jim Sauer, president of J.T.Sauer & Associates, an engineering and design firm based in Washington County. The borough retained the firm to design the park plans.
"We kind of all knew that there was going to be some inconvenience involved. There's always inconvenience involved when there's progress," Huffman said. "It's all going to be good in the end."
