Making It
Ex-Microsofties Unveil Paper, An iPad App For Ideating And Sharing
Two of the incubation leads from Microsoft Courier create an iPad app that gives a taste of what Courier could have been.
There are a lot of sketch apps. I mean a lot. Layers, Brushes, iDraw, SketchBook Pro, SketchPad HD, SketchyPad, Draft, and Penultimate, to name a few. If you build in the concept of ideating, the list only grows longer, with apps like Evernote, MindNode, Adobe Ideas … well, I think we all get the point. It's a saturated market.
But a new app called Paper, by a promising new company named FiftyThree, is jumping right in.
"There are many note taking applications which are useful, but boring," FiftyThree co-founder Georg Petschnigg tells Co.Design. "Then there are paint programs, that require a lot of skill to make something beautiful. Paper is where productivity and beauty come together."
In this saturated marketplace, Paper stands out in a few ways. It's free to download. It's extraordinarily simple to use. It's beautiful. And FiftyThree itself was co-founded by two of the incubation leads on the late Microsoft Courier project, Georg Petschnigg and Jon Harris (together, the entire FiftyThree team has developed Xbox controllers and laptops, created short films, and designed graphics for TED talks).
In other words, Paper is, at its heart, a small taste of what the Courier could have been. Well, the small taste that isn't from the iPad's other Courier-team-developed app, which also just released, called Taposé.
"It was that humbling realization that when people 'need to get creative,' they'll reach for a legal pad, whiteboard, or sticky note," Petschnigg tells Co.Design. "That's pretty humbling for a team that made laptops, mobile devices, and Microsoft Office for a living! We realized that we use pen and paper like everyone else, because it is simple, beautiful, and lets you express your ideas freely. So we set out to bring some of that simplicity and beauty to software. We wanted a tool that works more like we think."
I know what he means. The first thing I think about when loading Paper is actually 37signals' competing product, Draft. Draft's approach was to create a scribble app with extreme limitations—black pages, red and white inks—to free the user's mind to focus on the idea. The result was easy to use but far too clinical. There's nothing less satisfying than looking back at an ugly idea. I paid $5 for Draft and used it once.
Paper defines itself by restraint, too, but it doesn't suck your creative soul to do so. By paring down options, it sneaks in a niche that's simpler and more satisfying to use than the heavy dashboards of both art and note-taking apps. You start with a page in a Moleskine journal. Rather than choose any color in the world, Paper offers just nine that coordinate. Then they use a metaphor that we all understand—it's "paper" of course—to build out their pen (and pencil and watercolor tools, which are each unlocked through a $1.99 in-app purchase) that allow you to sketch in varying texture and intensity. And to undo any action, you simply circle back with two fingers, like a jog wheel.
The resulting app pulls out the wishy washy creative decisions behind sketching a quick flowchart. It's like shopping for furniture within a single matching collection—maybe your living room will resemble someone else's next door, but at least it will look good on its own.
You can also create new notebooks, skinable with photos and patterns (a simple effect that looks fantastic on screen). And you can share sketches on your Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter accounts. But that's about it. You can't zoom into sketches, you can't create layers, and the app's home screen isn't designed to support portrait mode, which is a bit ironic, as you're supposed to be drawing in a portrait-based Moleskine. (But there's nothing stopping you from just turning your iPad while sketching, as you would a piece of paper.)
It's interesting that, despite the rising ubiquity of the iPad and Android tablets, none is driven by that elusive killer content creation app. Paper isn't that app. Rather, it seems like a warm-up lap from a team destined to do more. That said, it's a pretty darn good warm-up lap.

The day I read this article, I went out and bought a Wacom Bamboo (thanks ) and downloaded this app. As a former Industrial Design school drop-out from Cal State Long Beach - I immediately understood what they've done.
This is a gorgeous app. Combined with the stylus, the tools are weighted exactly as they should be. The limitations in the app are well framed: You can't alter the palette, you can't change the brush size, and you can only undo the previous 3-4 moves you've made. It also runs great on a 1st generation iPad. There's a noticeable hiccup in screen performance when drawing fast, but that's clearly not the app's fault.
I get that people are complaining about the $2 tools... I went straight for the $8 "all-in" and it left me completely satisfied. I wouldn't be surprised if future updates provided an option to create other color palettes, but otherwise I think they've nailed it on pricing and features. If you're going to pick, I'd buy the pencil first, and the watercolor second. Those 3 tools (ink, pencil, watercolor) will get you through most designs just fine. The marker & the fine point pen are specialty tools that come in handy for specific pieces but generally stay on the "shelf" (just like in real life).
A+ work from the FiftyThree team. My only *wishlist* item would be the ability to export to the photo-roll and/or dropbox integration. Thanks FastCo for featuring this app!!!
The app is good but the nickle and dime pricing structure is a major turn off. Basically, the vendor sells each tool individually. They violate the simplicity purchasing model that people love about the other app purchases - $1.99 to $14.99 in one scoop. Coming from Micrsoft, it is understandable that they love to make things complicated.
I am sure, other sketching app will be there soone. Their 15second fame will be out soon as they fail to excite the demand.
You need to buy the Brushes and you call it a free app? That's like saying you can take a poop for free in the public toilet but you've to buy the toilet paper yourself!
To bad a stylus on an iPad isn't the best idea for content creation. Hoping for a tablet with Wacom technology, probably with Windows 8 on it.
What is the stylus called?
I think it's the Bamboo by Wacom
Is not sold in Venezuela: Bummer

Guillotine, a machine for beheading persons condemned to death. The device was introduced during the French Revolution at the suggestion of Dr. Joseph Guillotin. The machine consists of a heavy base, two upright posts joined by a crosspiece at the top, and a heavy, weighted knife that moves up and down in grooves of the posts. The knife is raised to the top of the posts; the victim is bound at the base, face downward, with neck directly beneath the knife; and the knife, released, falls by its own weight.
Machines similar to the guillotine had been used for centuries. The guillotine was introduced in 1792 and was set up on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Here nearly 4,000 persons met death. Dr. Guillotin narrowly escaped this fate. The guillotine continued to be used in France until capital punishment was abolished in 1981.

Not only did Brian Cashman get an iPad for pretending to want Carl Crawford, he also got the Red Sox to (in retrospect) overpay.
Speaking to ESPNNewYork.com, the Yankees general manager admitted he didn't really have any interest in the left fielder, instead, he just wanted his rivals to have to shell out more money. In the end, Crawford signed a seven-year, $142 million contract with the Red Sox.
"I actually had dinner with the agent to pretend that we were actually involved and drive the price up," Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com. "The outfield wasn't an area of need, but everybody kept writing Crawford, Crawford, Crawford, Crawford. And I was like, 'I feel like we've got Carl Crawford in Brett Gardner, except he costs more than $100 million less, with less experience."
For the $14 million that Crawford is making in 2011, he's hit .259/.295/.410 with 11 home runs, 55 RBI, 18 stolen bases and scored 63 runs. Gardner, two years younger than Crawford, made $530,000 this season and is arbitration-eligible after the season. He's hit .261/.347/.374 with seven home runs, 36 RBI, 46 stolen bases and 83 runs scored. He's also the better defensive player, so it's obvious Cashman made the right choice -- at least for this season.
Cashman said the team's pursuit of Cliff Lee, on the other hand, was very much real. Cashman also said he was ready to send catching prospect Jesus Montero to Seattle to get Lee at midseason.
"You take all the players traded when Lee went to Cleveland to Philly, Philly to Seattle, and Seattle to Texas, and Montero would've been by far the best player moved in any of those deals," Cashman told the website.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @eyeonbaseball on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

gjournal — control utility for journaled devices

The gjournal utility is used for journal configuration on the given GEOM provider. The Journal and data may be stored on the same provider or on two separate providers. This is block level journaling, not file system level journaling, which means everything gets logged, e.g. for file systems, it journals both data and metadata. The gjournal GEOM class can talk to file systems, which allows the use of gjournal for file system journaling and to keep file systems in a consistent state. At this time, only UFS file system is supported.
To configure journaling on the UFS file system using gjournal, one should first create a gjournal provider using the gjournal utility, then run newfs(8) or tunefs(8) on it with the −J flag which instructs UFS to cooperate with the gjournal provider below. There are important differences in how journaled UFS works. The most important one is that sync(2) and fsync(2) system calls do not work as expected anymore. To ensure that data is stored on the data provider, the gjournal sync command should be used after calling sync(2). For the best performance possible, soft-updates should be disabled when gjournal is used. It is also safe and recommended to use the async mount(8) option.
When gjournal is configured on top of gmirror(8) or graid3(8) providers, it also keeps them in a consistent state, thus automatic synchronization on power failure or system crash may be disabled on those providers.
The gjournal utility uses on-disk metadata, stored in the provider's last sector, to store all needed information. This could be a problem when an existing file system is converted to use gjournal.
The first argument to gjournal indicates an action to be performed:
Configures gjournal on the given provider(s). If only one provider is given, both data and journal are stored on the same provider. If two providers are given, the first one will be used as data provider and the second will be used as the journal provider.
Additional options include:
Checksum journal records.
May be used to convert an existing file system to use gjournal, but only if the journal will be configured on a separate provider and if the last sector in the data provider is not used by the existing file system. If gjournal detects that the last sector is used, it will refuse to overwrite it and return an error. This behavior may be forced by using the −f flag, which will force gjournal to overwrite the last sector.
Hardcode provider names in metadata.
−s jsize
Specifies size of the journal if only one provider is used for both data and journal. The default is one gigabyte. Size should be chosen based on provider's load, and not on its size. It is not recommended to use gjournal for small file systems (e.g.: only few gigabytes big).
Clear metadata on the given providers.
Stop the given provider.
Additional options include:
Stop the given provider even if it is opened.
Trigger journal switch and enforce sending data to the data provider.
Dump metadata stored on the given providers.
See geom(8).
See geom(8).
See geom(8).
See geom(8).
Additional options include:
Be more verbose.
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
Create a gjournal based UFS file system and mount it:
gjournal load
gjournal label da0
newfs -J /dev/da0.journal
mount -o async /dev/da0.journal /mnt
Configure journaling on an existing file system, but only if gjournal allows this (i.e., if the last sector is not already used by the file system):
gjournal label da0s1d da0s1e && \
tunefs -J enable -n disable && \
mount -o async /dev/da0s1d.journal /mnt || \
mount /dev/da0s1d /mnt

Two people are in custody after the stabbing death of Dodgers Fan Jonathan Denver on Wednesday.
Police say it occured shortly after 11:30pm during a confrontation between two groups of men but won't give any more details. Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter also said she had no information but wanted people to know it took place several blocks away from the stadium.
The Dodgers and Giants are long time rivals and fan violence is not new. Back in 2011, Giants fan Brian Stow was beaten outside Dodger Stadium and ended up with severe brain damage.

Tuesday March 6, 2007Jacksonville Edges Baseball, 6-5
Gainesville, FL
Gainesville, FL
In the final stanza, JU senior Pete Clifford drew a
leadoff walk from junior Josh Edmondson
We were up 5-2 and our guys fought hard to keep it close, so it was a tough loss, said head coach Pat McMahon. We didnt pitch or defend as well tonight, and there were a lot of errors. It is also difficult to be successful out of the bullpen pitching behind the count, so we need to work on that. We play at Texas A&M this weekend, and they are one of the outstanding programs to compete against. It will be a great challenge for us, and we will be working hard this week to prepare for that series.
The Dolphins jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the
opening frame against freshman Kevin
Chapman (
I started the season slow with hitting, and Coach Parenton took me in and worked with me for a while, Tignor said. I see the ball a lot better, so that worked well for me tonight. As a team, there are so many new starters that it is going to take time for us to mesh together out there. The older guys are doing a great job of trying to keep us level-headed.
In the fifth, the Gators used back-to-back home runs by Figueroa and LaPorta to seize a 5-2 advantage. Townsend was hit by a pitch with one down and Figueroa mashed Browns 3-0 offering over the scoreboard in right field for his team-leading sixth round-tripper. LaPorta then stepped to the plate and belted a 3-1 pitch into the left-field bleachers for his fifth HR, ending the night for Brown (4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R).
The next inning, Clifford tied the game at five
runs apiece with his third homer of the campaign. The blast cleared the wall in
center and prompted a pitching change, as Edmondson took over for
Although UF committed two errors in the eighth and
a wild pitch left the Dolphins with runners on second and third, Edmondson had Opachich ground out to third to preserve the stalemate.
Freshman Clayton Pisani
The hosts held an 8-6 advantage in hits, as Tignor went 2-for-4. Ferreira and Opachich
were each 2-for-5 for the Dolphins. The Gators six errors matched a season

Every major offensive in World War II was preceded by heavy attacks from the air. A long-range program was started very early to prepare the way for the invasion of France and Germany. Some air enthusiasts hoped to knock out Germany by the use of air power alone, but generally overestimated the results that were obtained.Allied air power eventually devastated Germany.
Britain's Royal Air Force adopted a policy of night saturation bombing. The first such raid took place on May 30, 1942, when 1,130 planes dropped 1,500 tons (1,360,000 kg) of bombs on Cologne in 90 minutes. The U.S. Army Air Forces favored high-altitude daylight bombing of specific targets. (This was called precision bombing, but postwar investigation showed that only 20 per cent of the bombs fell within the target area in such raids.) The first American bombing raid, against Rouen, France, took place on August 17, 1942; the first against Germany, January 27, 1943.
As the air effort grew, the United States designated the Eighth Air Force, commanded by General Ira Eaker (later by General James Doolittle), for strategic bombing. The Ninth, commanded by General L. H. Brereton (later by General Hoyt S. Vandenberg), was for tactical fightingthat is, direct support of troops.
The strategic bombing targets in 1942 were submarine bases and construction yards. Since these were well protected, success was limited. Ball bearing factories became a primary objective in 1943. In a raid on Schweinfurt, Germany, on August 17, the Eighth Air Force lost 60 B-17 bombers out of 315 taking part. On October 14 the losses were 60 out of 291. These losses discouraged bomber attacks without fighter protection, but long-range P-47 and P-38 fighters were soon available.
Attacks on 14 principal aircraft plants were made in late 1943 and early 1944. An attack in 1944 on oil production was highly successful. Each of 13 synthetic oil plants was hit and by September production was cut from 316,000 tons (286,675,000 kg) a month to 17,000 tons (15,422,000 kg). In United Press International later phases of the air war, the destruction of German planes in the air became an objective. In the first three months of 1944 the Germans lost 3,400 fighters. According to German sources, only 80 fighter planes were available to oppose the invasion of France. Immediately before the invasion, heavy attacks were made on bridges, railway yards, and other vital points of communication. These severely crippled German efforts to hold back the Allied forces.
Germany's last offensive effort in the air was the robot bomb campaign launched against Great Britain and Belgium shortly after the landings in Normandy. These bombs consisted of the V-1 pilotless airplane and the V-2 rocket. The V-1 was used from June until September, 1944, when Allied troops captured its launching sites. Of the more than 9,000 V-1's launched against England, 30 per cent penetrated Allied defenses. They destroyed more than 25,000 British buildings, with casualties of more than 5,000 killed and 17,000 injured. Antwerp was bombarded with 8,000 V-1's.
In September the Germans began using the V-2, against which there was no defense. Allied air raids had delayed its development and prevented its perfection, but 500 of these missiles reached London and 1,600 hit Antwerp. It was seven months before the Allies put the V-2 out of action by overrunning its launching sites.
In the long run, the V-1 and V-2 had little effect on the outcome of the war. If they had gone into action six months earlier, however, they might have prevented the Normandy invasion.
During the war the Allies dropped some 2,700,000 tons (2,450,000,000 kg) of bombs on Germany in 1,440,000 sorties. Germany had 300,000 civilians killed and 780,000 injured, while 3,600,000 homes were struck, 20 per cent of all in Germany. The British lost approximately 22,000 planes and 79,000 airmen in action; the Americans, 18,000 planes and 79,000 fliers.

Undergraduate Program
Biophysics is a highly interdisciplinary field which attempts to bridge the gap between biology and physics. The bridging of the two sciences can be either experimental (e.g., applying novel spectroscopies or microscopies to important problems in molecular or cellular biology) or theoretical (e.g., applying soft condensed matter theories of mechanical, phase transition, or thermodynamic properties to biological membranes or complexity theory to understanding biological self-organization). Often in biophysics, both experimental and theoretical work is done in the same group. In the Physics Department at the University of Michigan, a number of physics faculty members devote all or much of their research efforts to biophysics, and over the years many students have achieved Physics Ph.D.'s with a specialty in biophysics.
Some of the biophysics research at Michigan is centered in LSA Biophysics located in a contiguous complex of modern laboratories near the Physics Department. Faculty from several departments - Physics, Biology, Biological Chemistry and Chemistry - comprise the division, and faculty from Pharmacy, Physiology, Cell Biology and Anatomy, Dermatology, Pharmacology, the Dental School, and others frequently collaborate in research.

If your mom or dad has a bunion (we'll get to bunionettes in a minute), it doesn't mean you're going to get one. Bunion prevention is very possible. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
The biggest problem with the "genes argument" — for any health issue — is that it knocks personal responsibility out of the picture. Sure, genetics might play a small role in bunion development. For example, those who walk with more weight on the inside of their foot (overpronation) are at a higher risk. But it's hardly their fate to get a bunion. Whenever there is prolonged pressure on the toes, they have to compensate somehow. If left ignored… well, let's dig deeper.
There are some who say shoes rarely cause bunions. That just can't be. If both men and women can develop bunions, then why do women develop them so much more frequently? Hmm? Here's what a Dr. Hartley Miltchin says on the issue: "We're meant to walk on flat feet [bare] so that our body weight is distributed equally between the ball and the heel of the foot. When we wear heels, 90 percent of the weight is on the big toe joint."
90% of our weight. Forced onto the big toe joint.
It's a very simple process. The big toe is forced inwards (yes, by shoes), towards the other toes, and sometimes overlaps them (yikes!). With the increased pressure from, say, high heels or ill-fitting work boots, the tissues surrounding the big toe joint become inflamed and warped. And voila. You're looking at a painful (and unsightly) swollen nodule. A bunion.
A bunionette — or Tailor's Bunion — is just like a big toe bunion, but it develops near your little toe instead. Some even call it a 6th toe (how fun!). Tailors used to get this particular toe deformity because they sat cross-legged most of the day with the outside of their foot rubbing on the ground. This produces an intense tissue buildup on the bottom and side of the pinky toe joint.
Bunionettes are directly linked to wearing shoes that are too narrow. Our feet expand as we get older; causing the metatarsal joint on the fifth toe to be increasingly pressed against the inside of the shoe. Our joints, when exposed to too much pressure, try to create protection in the forms of calluses, corns and other nodules of tissue. This "protective covering" often comes with irritation and pain.
For the "genes argument" folk out there: over-pronation (tendency to put pressure on the inside of the foot while walking) leads to bunions, while the opposite, under-pronation (pressure on the outside edge of the foot) is the major culprit for bunionettes. Shoes exacerbate this pressure, leading to bunions, bunionettes and overlapping toes.
One study by Dr. Shulman, a podiatrist, looked at barefoot groups in India and China. Those studied either wore sandals with no arch support or went barefoot. Generally, they labored and played with nothing on their feet most of their lives. His results were surprising (not for us, of course): many of those surveyed, who had never worn Western-style shoes, had very few foot defects. Additionally, their ranges of foot motion were remarkably great.
This is a study many health professionals point to as strong evidence that barefoot is best. We're not suggesting that you go barefoot all the time, even though that would be really nice. But, the study does show we need to take a much closer look at how we treat our feet in the West.
You can't look at foot and toe problems in isolation. Only by taking a holistic view does bunionette and bunion prevention come into focus; conventional understanding is just... inadequate. There's no such thing as a foot in perfect health save for a big honkin' bunion. That bunion is a symptom of prolonged abuse. It would only be a short time before other foot and toe deformities sprung up.
Bunions get the most "spotlight". But, hammer toes, claw toes, Plantar Fasciitis, Deep Vein Thrombosis and flat feet are just as painful and debilitating. Mobility and independence are incredibly vital to everyone's happiness. That's why it makes perfect sense to keep your feet as healthy as possible, just as you do with your teeth or eyesight.
YogaToes® are specifically designed to fit between, below and above the toes. This design gently stretches the toes apart from each other and away from the balls of your feet. People young and old — with foot problems or not — love how their feet feel after just a few minutes in YogaToes®.
The therapeutic effect of YogaToes® has been noted by both everyday people and medical researchers. Just recently, YogaToes® were used in a neurological study by a Henry Ford Hospital doctor. Participants in her study, who were patients with movement disorders, found great benefit from wearing YogaToes® over a period of three months.
There are literally hundreds of reviews by people who love YogaToes. People who got incredible results from using them daily. Injuries undone. Vanished bunions. Foot pain reduced dramatically. We're not making this stuff up!
25% of the body's bones are located in the feet. Why? They're propping up your entire body! And with incredible finesse, we might add. Feet are continually making adjustments and must spread out the pressure to all joints.
So, you ask, are YogaToes® for me? You're darn right they are. Until we live in a stress-free, barefoot society, they'll always be a good decision. YogaToes® come with a 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee. What's more? Bunion prevention is included with each and every pair.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The state's independent budget analyst says California will take in $3.2 billion more than Gov. Jerry Brown estimated, providing Democratic lawmakers the opportunity to increase spending.
The Legislative Analyst's Office released its assessment of Brown's budget revision on Friday, just days after the governor's revised budget. It said the administration's figures do not reflect the improving economy, including higher capital gains from stock sales.
Assembly Speaker John Perez says no one should interpret the number "as an automatic green light to increase spending." But he says there is strong pressure from Democratic lawmakers and advocates to restore past program cuts.
Brown proposed a $96.4 billion spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1. He wants to funnel more money to K-12 schools but limit state obligations.

ATLANTA (AP) - Heavy thunderstorms have sent hail crashing down
on Georgia, disrupted flights, toppled a tree into a house and shut down electricity service for thousands of residents.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning until 10 p.m. Friday for urban areas and small streams in central Fulton County and northwest Clayton County.
Meteorologists say a low-pressure system from the Great Lakes is moving into the Tennessee Valley, raising the chances of thunderstorms across north and central Georgia.
Hail struck northern Atlanta on Friday afternoon. Firefighters said they had to dig out a grandmother who became trapped in a south Atlanta home when a tree fell on it.
The storms caused delays at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and interrupted electricity service for thousands of Georgia Power customers.

On removing her Marilyn Monroe tattoo:
"I started reading about her and realized that her life was incredibly difficult.
RELATED: 75 things men don't know about women
"It's like when you visualize something for your future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative. She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay [Lohan]. She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable. ... She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered. I'm not interested in following in those footsteps."

Vietnam – Harvey Nash promotes commercial opportunities
Paul Smith, executive chairman for London-based IT services firm, Harvey Nash Outsourcing, has told UK businesses to take advantage of growing commercial opportunities in Viet Nam.
Smith offered his recommendation at a Viet Nam-UK Trade and Investment Opportunities conference, organised by the Vietnamese Embassy for Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the UK-ASEAN in London on Tuesday.
Harvey Nash Outsourcing had been doing business in Viet Nam for 12 year and operates a software development centre in the country. Smith said its offices now generate 30 per cent of the company's total revenue, as well as 30 per cent year-on-year growth, adding that revenue in 2011 was US$836 million and profitable. Harvey Nash is believed to employ 4,500 people in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City .
Smith also enthused about the country's entrepreneurial spirit, drive and the energy of his Vietnamese colleagues, describing them as hardworking, loyal, trustworthy, honest and highly skilled and added that despite the challenges encountered when doing business in Viet Nam it had been well worth the effort.

|Conceptual priming in semantic dementia: A window into the cognitive and neural basis of conceptual implicit memory.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21049346 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The present study examined the impact of impairment in semantic memory on conceptual repetition priming by means of the longitudinal study of a patient with semantic dementia. ST was tested in four consecutive years, during which his semantic memory progressively deteriorated. On each occasion, he performed an abstract/concrete verification task and a verb generation task. In both of these tasks, performance during a test phase was compared for stimuli previously processed in a study phase and stimuli first seen in the test phase. Control subjects showed priming, as indicated by faster responses to studied than to baseline stimuli. ST showed intact priming that was of normal magnitude in the first two years of testing, but failed to show priming in the subsequent two years of testing. This pattern of results is interpreted with reference to the differential decline of item-specific and superordinate knowledge. The implications of these findings for the neural basis of conceptual priming are also discussed.

COLLEGE STATION, TX -- Johnny Manziel will kick off his campaign for a second straight Heisman Trophy on the bench. ESPN reports Texas A&M has suspended Manziel for the first half of Saturday's season opener against Rice.
ESPN also reports Texas A&M and the NCAA have reached an agreement on the length of the suspension, ending the current investigation of Manziel.
The NCAA has been investigating Manziel for nearly a month, since reports surfaced he accepted cash to sign autographs on multiple occasions during the off-season. Manziel reportedly met with the NCAA for six hours on Sunday, denying allegations he accepted money for his signature.
Manziel led Texas A&M to an 11-2 record last season, including an upset of top-ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He completed nearly 68 percent of his passes for 3,706 yards and 26 touchdowns, while rushing for more than 14 hundred yards and 21 more scores, becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
With Manziel on the bench for the first half on Saturday, the Aggies will start either, junior Matt Joeckel or freshman Kenny Hill.

US climate change and energy policies haven't been getting enough attention in the run-up to the US presidential election. But three US presidential candidates have agreed to discuss it in a forum tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 17 at 2 pm Pacific: Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Dennis Kucinich. "All Democratic and Republican presidential candidates were invited to attend," writes Grist, one of the event's sponsors; kudos to these three for taking up the invite.
Click here to go to video and audio feeds of the forum. And check out Grist and Outside Magazine's interviews with and info on the candidates' environmental and energy positions.
(Full disclosure: I sometimes write for Grist.)
Kucinich is a serious candidate & his administration will be known as the Works Green Administration. I hope people will begin to see this man, who has the integrity & courage to stand up for the people, as their next President. He will lead this country to renewable energy by 20% in only 6 yrs. He does not tell rhetorics unlike other candidates. Look at his voting records on environmental policies, and you'll know you're looking at the right candidate. No need to look for others. And his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Kucinich had a Master's degree in International Conflict Resolution. She will also play a great supporting role to her husband's new vision for America "Strength through Peace." I'm voting for Kucinich!
Only Kucinich offers a comprehensive and substantial environmental policy. Sadly, voters will be kept in the dark about it because it threatens the status quo and the interests of the multinationals that now own the media that (just barely) gives him any coverage whatsoever.
Please be independent in yur research of the candidates, voters - and you'll see why Dennis Kucinich is truly the only honest choice for making the country - and the planet - a better place for all of us.
www.kucinich.us is a great starting place.

Your First Look At Anastasia Steele Is Here
While her leading man Jamie Dornan has been stealing hearts in slick suits, Johnson's mild-mannered outfits are a little less steamy. We're talking backpacks, basic tops, and yes, Uggs. Because nothing says "take me" like sheepskin-lined boots.
Not that it's all dull, mind you. That green miniskirt she's wearing in the above image does have a certain Britney/naughty schoolgirl aesthetic. We can only imagine what Mr. Grey has in mind for that baby.

SANTA FE >> Environmentalists were celebrating and a lot of energy companies were grumbling after the Obama administration rolled out new Environmental Protection Agency regulations on Monday but New Mexico's largest utility company was taking a wait-and-see attitude.
Saying that the EPA draft rule "is a lengthy and complex document," Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) senior vice president of public policy Ron Darnell said in a statement that "it's too early to tell how it will affect PNM specifically."
Or, how much extra it will cost PNM customers.
The new EPA rules will set national guidelines on carbon dioxide on existing power plants for the first time, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions 30 percent nationwide.
One of the primary targets of the new regulations is the coal industry.
PNM's San Juan Generating Station in the northwest corner of New Mexico contains four coal-fired generating units and the company has put forth a proposal to retire two of the coal units as a way to reduce regional haze. The other two units plan to be retrofitted with pollution controls.
Since the PNM plan, which received non-binding approval last year from the EPA and the New Mexico Environment Department, aims to reduce emissions 50 percent, PNM officials have been guardedly optimistic that Monday's announcement will not effect the San Juan proposal.
"We appreciate that the EPA rule provides each state with significant flexibility in developing a compliance plan that recognizes unique opportunities and challenges," Darnell said.
The San Juan plan still has to be approved by the Public Regulation Commission as well as the EPA.
With or without the new EPA regulations, PNM customers were going to pay more.
In early 2013, PNM estimated its proposal would cost the company between $400 million and $430 million. Judging from rough estimates made at the time, the plan would cost PNM customers a little more than $30 more per year.
"On the one hand, I'm pleased that (New Mexico appears) to be well positioned," New Mexico Environment Secretary Ray Flynn told Associated Press. "On the other hand, I still remain concerned about impacts to consumers. There's no question that EPA's action is going to result in increased costs for electric generation around the country."
Nationally, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claimed the EPA regulations could cost up to $50 billion a year in GDP and keep 224,000 jobs a year from being created.
"Sure, energy companies are going to howl, but they can't get a free pass to dump harmful waste into our air any longer, and they're fully capable of innovating their way to solutions," said National Audubon Society president and CEO David Yarnold.
The EPA says the regulations will save 6,600 lives and more than $50 billion a year in health care costs tied to air pollution.
Both of New Mexico's U.S. senators, Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall, hailed the decision.
"Climate change is a fact that is a problem in New Mexico today and not just at some far off date in the future," Heinrich said. "The longer we wait to act, the more difficult and expensive the solutions will be and the more unpredictable our weather will become."
But the only Republican in the New Mexico Capitol Hill delegation blasted the new regulations.
"The president and the EPA are using these regulations to force states into using cap-and-trade systems that could not even pass in the Senate with a filibuster-proof Democratic majority," said Rep. Steve Pearce, R-New Mexico. "The administration's radical war on coal is nothing more than a war on the poor."

Does anyone know how to remove a logo without harming the nylon fabric?
yes, with a black texter...........Franco(Sharpie over there...)
Edited by Franco on 01/02/2008 22:05:07 MST.
I've used a Sharpie, with middling results. Grey's it out so it stands out less. Taking off patches is much more satisfying.
Ben2,How much weight will that save?
Edited by FamilyGuy on 11/10/2013 11:51:38 MST.
Ha ha...I will be using this pack for a trip to the Middle East, and would rather not be walking through bazaars and medinas with a pack that's got a huge KELTY emblazoned across. Actually, that's a secondary reason -- the primary one is that I just plain hate stuff with logos.
OK. Here are another couple of helpful solutions:1) put an American flag on top and make your self a "too obvious " target( in most countries people tend to avoid lunatics)2) Buy a Texport tent . Cut the logo from the stuff sack and stick it on top of the Kelty. This should be cheaper than buying the label alone and nobody will want to steal that.
If it is a thread logo like many Kelty packs, you should be able to cut or break the threads. You will have to do this a few at a time so it may take a while, and will also leave holes where it went through the nylon, but it will get rid of it.The easy way is the black Sharpie idea.
You could put this over it:Seriously though, maybe a pin is a viable option.
Edited by HechoEnDetroit on 01/02/2008 22:19:01 MST.
Edited by FamilyGuy on 11/10/2013 11:51:08 MST.
Sew a scrap of 1.1 black nylon over it.I wonder if your Kelty pack has more international cachet than my Rick Steves daypack? :-D
Ben, send it to me. I'd remove or cover it up for you ;-)
Buy a large peace sign to sew over the logo...
Embroidered labels are hard to remove without damaging the fabric, but a seam ripper (available at sewing stores) is a great aid. Just use patience and care.
why don't you just get a seam ripper and rip the threads out. If it is like every other kelty sign I've seen its all thread. Just rip it out.
My pack should arrive on Friday. Right now, I don't know whether the stupid logo is "painted" on or sewn on. Assuming the latter, wouldn't there be a million holes after I rip out the logo threads???
Edited by ben2world on 01/09/2008 12:12:51 MST.
Some fabrics 'self heal' more than others, but yes there will be holes left and if you're that worried about it, take the excellent advise ALREADY offered of a sharpie/black ink, or a custom patch or black fabric applied. Better yet, make your own pack.
I don't know how much it will help you in the middle east to just take off the logo. I was in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Aman, and all over the west bank in April and May of 2005. No matter what you're going to stick out, even with wearing neutral clothes. I stuck out, but I also was careful were to go.
Hi Ben,If all else fails, you might consider sewing a Peoples Republic of China or Vietnamese flag over the offending logo. Neither country has a history of mistreating Arab countries, or Israel, for that matter. Used to be a Canadian flag, but not since 2001 and the invasion of Afghanistan.

1 cop killed, 2 others shot amid manhunt for ex-LAPD officer - CBS News
According to documents from a court of appeals hearing in October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans. Dorner said that in the course of an arrest, Evans kicked suspect Christopher Gettler, a schizophrenic with severe dementia.
Following an investigation, Dorner was fired for making false statements.
Richard Gettler, the schizophrenic man's father, gave testimony that supported Dorner's claim. After his son was returned on July 28, 2007, Richard Gettler asked "if he had been in a fight because his face was puffy" and his son responded that he was kicked twice in the chest by a police officer.

Nearly three years after his unexpected passing, Terry Porter's work remains a vital part of our community's film culture. To many, he was known as the intensely knowledgeable store manager at Video Renaissance, Sarasota's only independent film rental shop, but loyal patrons and friends also got to know the depth of his passion for film. He had an eye for the underdog, for all things strange, new and wonderful. In honor of Terry's work as a tireless advocate for emerging voices and cinematic expression, and for his tremendous friendship with The Sarasota Film Festival, we proud to present the third annual Terry Porter Visionary Award to COMPUTER CHESS, a film that captures Terry's inquisitive spirit, energy and passion for new forms of cinema.

Banpu Koh Chang Hotel
A tropical vibe
What we say:
With a name that translates from Thai as "Crab House" (so stop your snickering kids), Banpu has frontage on both the beach and the main street, with a small but attractive beachside swimming pool and terrace restaurant. Set in front of a small two-storey block of rooms, concrete villas are painted brown, topped with low-hanging thatched roofs and packed tightly into a lush garden. Most rooms are not huge, and a little dark, but pleasantly rustic with hardwood floors and walls, tasteful art and mosquito nets hung over comfortable beds. All rooms come with air-con, TV, fridge, safe and attractive bathroom done up with translucent green tiles. The villas are a little closer to the beach than their hotel block counterparts, though only the ones all the way at the front have sea views. There's a distinct Swiss Family Robinson vibe going on here, very tropical, with mustard yellow umbrellas to punctuate the browns, tans and greens. The beach is decent here too; just be careful when wading, as there are quite a few boulders in the shallows that sit ready to stub toes. Staff are friendly and the small resort has a cheerful mood about it.
