|Britt earns All-Region honor
NEW ORLEANS - University of Idaho sophomore cross country runner Barry Britt was honored on Monday as an All-Region honoree by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Britt (Hampton, B.C., Canada/Georgia State) finished 24th in the men's 10,000m race at the NCAA West Region Championships on Saturday with a time of 30:38.17.
The USTFCCCA honors the top 25 finishers in each of the nine regional championship races with the award. Britt is the second Vandal man to earn the distinction. Jan Eitel took 19th at the 2002 West Region Championships and also earned the honor.
The regional award caps off an impressive first year for Britt, who transferred to Idaho in January from Georgia State. He was honored once as a Western Athletic Conference Men's Athlete of the Week during the season and earned first-team all-WAC honors two weeks ago after finishing sixth at the WAC Cross Country Championships.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Horizon Discovery and H3 Biomedicine have launched a technology partnership program known as SyntheTx, which they hope will help identify oncology targets and early-stage drug discovery programs for the pharmaceutical industry. H3 Biomedicine is a biopharma focused on the discovery and development of patient-tailored cancer treatments, and is essentially the first partner to join the program, which will be overseen by Alan Ashworth, M.D., professor of molecular biology at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). Additional biotech and pharma partners will be sought over the next 12–18 months.
SyntheTx will combine Horizon's platform for generating human isogenic cell lines that recapitulate specific cancer genotypes, with both Horizon and H3's high-throughput RNAi and bioinformatics platforms. The aim is to carry out screens to identify genes that exert synthetic lethality in specific cancer genotypes. H3 and Horizon will initially screen 50 currently undruggable cancer genotypes to identify targets that can be optimized for further development. Any targets identified that won't be taken on by either Horizon or H3 will then be made commercially available to the pharma industry.
"Proof-of-concept synthetic lethal screens have shown significant promise in uncovering novel targets, but these studies have so far been unwieldy, difficult to understand, and cannot represent all genes of interest," comments Chris Torrance, Ph.D., Horizon's CEO. "Isogenic disease models created using our Genesis gene-editing technology will for the first time allow large-scale, timely, and systemic synthetic lethality screens, incorporating any patient-relevant context."

U2 played the next-to-last show on their 360° World Tour on Tuesday at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. I was fortunate to have been there to witness this amazing spectacle. The tour kicked off back in 2009, ostensibly in support of the band's No Line on the Horizon album, and it has grossed more than $700 million. The stage set is unbelievable, with a claw-shaped stage structure that is 168 feet tall, with massive video screens. I've never seen a stage set that comes close to this one.
U2 opened the concert with four songs from their 1991 Achtung Baby album: "Even Better Than the Real Thing," "The Fly," "Mysterious Ways" and "Until the End of the World." They then played "I Will Follow" from their 1980 debut album, Boy. "Get on Your Boots" and "Stay" followed. Astronaut Mark Kelly, the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, then appeared on the giant video screens to say, "Hello, Pittsburgh!" and introduce the next song, "Beautiful Day." From that point, the show continued to get better and better, as U2 played hit after hit, including "Elevation," "Pride (In the Name of Love)," "City of Blinding Lights," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Vertigo," "Walk On" and many more. The encore began with "One" and then a great version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," "With or Without You," "Moment of Surrender" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" followed, before the band finished the show with a rousing version of "Bad."
I have probably seen about 100 U2 shows in the last 31 years, and this one has to rank near the very top. I first saw U2 in a school gymnasium in Coventry, England, in 1980. As a writer for Rolling Stone at the time, I was the first American journalist to interview the group. They were amazing, and when I came back home and wrote my story, the editors put the headline "U2: The Next Big Thing?" on the story. And, indeed, they did become the next big thing. I wrote several more stories about the band during my tenure at Rolling Stone, and successfully campaigned to get them on the cover. During that period, Bono and I would exchange CDs and books. One time, I gave him a book about Martin Luther King, Jr., and he now says that book inspired him to write "Pride."
Over the years, the group has been very generous to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. When I first became the Museum's curator, I contacted them about getting some artifacts for an exhibit. This was back in 1994, and they had not yet been inducted, so they thought it would be weird for them to be in the Museum. I explained that the Museum included exhibits about inductees and non-inductees, and then suggested we could do a small exhibit that focused on their early years, the pre-The Joshua Tree years. They liked that idea, and we put a small exhibit together. Then, in May 2001, they came to Cleveland during their Elevation tour, and they visited the Museum. Our major exhibit at the time was John Lennon: His Life and Work, and U2 loved it. They said they would be willing to work with me on a major U2 exhibit. I took them up on their offer, and in February 2003, the Museum opened In the Name of Love: Two Decades of U2. That exhibit ran until March 2004. Since then, U2 has always had a presence at the Museum. We are fortunate to have a nice collection that includes instruments, stage outfits, lyric manuscripts and other items, including rejection letters they received from record companies when they were first trying to get signed.
Prior to the Pittsburgh show, I went backstage with a group of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame supporters. Bono came out to greet us, and he was as kind and generous as he always is. He is an amazing human being, and I feel very, very lucky to have gotten to know him over the last three decades.

This simple piece of legislation proves that you can make a difference at the local level. We need a lot more of this type of thing all over these United States. As I have said many times, it's not that I am against drones in all capacities; however, we must be vigilant about how these things are used and must have serious safeguards in place to protect civil liberties. Kudos to the Rutherford Institute for leading the charge here.
From US News:
Charlottesville, Va., has become the first city in the United States to formally pass an anti-drone resolution.
The resolution passed by a 3-2 vote and was brought to the city council by activist David Swanson and the Rutherford Institute, a civil liberties group based in the city. The measure also endorses a proposed two-year moratorium on drones in Virginia.
Councilmember Dede Smith, who voted in favor of the bill, says that drones are "pretty clearly a threat to our constitutional right to privacy."

My weekend included lots of travel, but the SLC highlight, of course, was my interview with the Neon Trees before their sold-out show at Velour, in Provo.
Look for Neon Trees stories in the November and March issues of Salt Lake Magazine (and online, too--hint: They'll be back in Utah next month). Until then, here are some deets:
*These folks are super duper cool. Tyler Glenn happily posed for photos (he is a rock star in every coolest sense), and the band sat chatting for a half hour in the sweltering heat, all so we could bring you their story.
*They LOVE Utah. None of them were originally Utahns (bassist Branden Campbell came to Provo via Las Vegas, drummer Elaine Bradley made her to way to BYU from Chicago, and band founders Glen and guitarist Chris Allen hail from Temecula, CA).
*All four love Provo and feel that the music scene is organic and about the 'art' of it more than the 'scene.'
*They are natural role models.
*They don't have much free time these days, but Campbell relishes the small things when he comes home (like his list of everyday chores) and Glenn sees movies. Allen likes watching Twilight Zone episodes on his computer. They're not club-scene folks.
*They're still excited about their dream coming true. Bradley got psyched when she heard their hit, "Animal" playing at a Chili's, and Glenn cried after a Milwaukee concert because the crowd's reaction to their music was so moving.
*I said they were super cool, right?
Stay tuned for more on the Neon Trees. They'll be playing in SLC at the Candlelight Serenade, August 21.

Say no to chain slap and yes to component simplicity
When you view anything within the technological realm, it quickly becomes clear that a system is only as good as components that comprise it. And with the new SRAM XX1 group, this ideology becomes transparent, with each piece engineered to perform flawlessly both individually or as a collective. Leaving no room for debate, the X-Horizon Rear Derailleur embodies this design principle. Reinventing clutch technology and parallelogram design, the XX1 X-Horizon Rear Derailleur is creating a new path in mountain bike component technology.
XX1's parallelogram design isn't new to derailleur technology, but a horizontal parallelogram design is, and this feature plays a major role in what sets the XX1 X-Horizon Rear Derailleur apart from its competitors. Unlike a typical derailleur, the X-Horizon derailleur knuckle only moves side-to-side -- not up-and-down. This limits the movement to the horizontal axis, making ghost shifting nonexistent. Looking at the derailleur pulley wheels, you'll notice the offset of the upper-pulley. Unusual in design, the upper-pulley provides a constant chain gap through all of the gear ratios.
With the combination of the X-sync chainring, pulley wheels, and a Roller Bearing Clutch, a chain guide isn't needed with XX1. Your chain is tensioned with the derailleur and locked in place with the pulleys and chainring. This system prevents chain drop in all-mountain scenarios. Also, combining the Roller Bearing Clutch and parallelogram design means that you'll never get chain slap -- saving your chain stay from looking like the marmots got to it. Taking a step even further, SRAM even made the derailleur to withstand repeated hits while you're navigating through a rock garden in order to eliminate the chance of throwing the chain. SRAM has gone as far to say that you have a better chance of dropping your chain with a front derailleur than you do with an X-Horizon rear derailleur and X-sync chainring.
The Cage Lock technology on the X-Horizon derailleur adds convenience to your bike maintenance. While installing a new chain, swapping tires, or changing a flat on the trail, you can lock your derailleur in place for easy adjustments. Just push the cage forward to create some slack, and lock it into place while you work on your bike. No extra tools are required to make this happen, making trail emergencies where you need to remove your wheel a simple fix.
The SRAM XX1 X-Horizon Rear Derailleur is available in the color Grey/black and has an approximate weight of 220g. Please note that it's not compatible with a double or triple crank. In fact, it is only compatible with the XX1 shifter and cassette.

Crisp and buttery
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Sram XX1 Rear Derailleur is flawless - well, as long as it's installed and adjusted right, like any derailleur.
The shifting feels very positive and crisp under your hand - it's easy to shift, but you can feel that instant, powerful response.
As you move into a lower or higher gear, the transitions feels smooth, as in barely noticeable. Maybe that's due to the purely horizontal plane this derailleur moves in, but it feels like it glides from cog to cog better than any other system I've used.
Lastly, the Cage Lockout button makes life pretty easy - any time you need to take your rear wheel off or put on a new chain, the lockout holds the derailleur in position.

Hit or Miss
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So I've sent plenty of time racing bikes with the XX1 system. I've found that you either have a good one or a not so good one. Mine is not so good. I knocks when the rear suspension is active and on a $12K I'd expect it to be quiet. The system is great for sure, and it's always nice to drop a full pound off a race bike, but it better be quiet.
highly engineered
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
the XX1 is an awesome drive train system and Sram has done an excellent job engineering each piece of equipment involved. The rear derailleur is very nice and the locking clutch system makes it extremely easy to remove the rear wheel. Light weight too and durable. Highly recommended.
Perfect Derailleur
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I just upgraded to XX1 and my initial impressions were great! This derailleur is very well thought out. It virtually eliminates chain slap on descents and even in Moab where I expect to throw my chain it held true and smooth. The locking clutch on the derailleur is awesome as well. It makes it incredibly easy to take off and put on the rear wheel. This derailleur/ the full upgrade saved me a lot of weight even though I'm not a weight wienie. Overall I am very impressed with this derailleur and the full XX1 system. If you have any questions about XX1 drive train feel free to give me a call.
Here is my contact information: My direct line 801.736.6396 ex. 4389. Feel free call to me anytime, I'm always happy to talk about bikes or gear or the weather. Whatever works! I'm here Mon, Tues and Friday 1:30-10pm MST and Saturday 9-5:30 as well as Sunday 10-7. I look forward to speaking with you.
The Lock Button
Locked Open
Nearly perfect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this derailleur is impressive; my only complaint is that it is sometimes hesitant to shift to smaller rings. my LBS and i have swapped turns tinkering with it, and i think we have it about dialed it, but it was a little more finicky and 10 speeds. That being said, it may just be a little learning curve and totally my fault.
Now the good parts: it's shifts to bigger rings before you're even done pushing the trigger, you can make it through all 11 rings with two big shifts, the clutch is baller, only a little chain slap on super rough decents, never dropper a chain, and the cage lock is really nice when working on the bike (easier that a normal derailleur without a lock).
it was user error. shifts perfect 99% of the time now.
extra thoughts: mine has taken some gnarly direct hits and is gashed up but still works like new. i've been riding in Sedona a lot lately and it's been getting dusty. i've found that the derailleur creaks when i pedal hard and i have to give it a really good cleaning everytime and lube the clutch. i've dropped a chain twice in a year. both times when pedaling on really chunky terrain.
Laser precise and silent
I made the switch to XX1 this year (2013) and I am in love, I have been a long time X.0 user and have always thought the SRAM solution was unbeatable. But getting rid of the front derailleur and having such a wide range of gearing options in just 11 gears is absolute perfection. I can't imagine ever going back to the old system.
XX1 is butter smooooth
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used the system now for 2 wet central VA months . Mostly short climbs with technical single track, and it has performed flawlessly . The only complaint I have is that it is not quite as smooth on the 11 tooth . I also changed out the 32 ring for a 38 .I have been riding ss for years now , so I thought I cloud push the bigger ring and it is right where it needs to be .I think the 32 that comes with it is too small .It is set up on my Kona Ti 29er hardtail

ZF-2712: Add NotEmpty validator when element is required
As discussed on #zftalk, we need to do the following with Zend_Form_Element:
- If an element is required and does not contain a NotEmpty validator, add one to the top of the validator stack with the breakChainOnFailure flag set to true
- Add a flag and accessors that allow disabling the above behaviour on request.
This will enforce the semantic meaning of the required flag.

Beware of barbecued bugs
Published: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
Editor: Whatever happened to the good old days when the worst things we had to fear on the Fourth of July were traffic jams and wayward fireworks?
According to the Department of Agriculture's Meat & Poultry Hotline, this year's top threat is food poisoning by nasty E. coli and salmonella bugs lurking in hamburgers and hot dogs at millions of backyard barbecues. The hotline's advice is to grill them longer and hotter. Of course, they don't bother to mention that the high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also forms lots of cancer-causing compounds.
Luckily, a bunch of enterprising U.S. food manufacturers and processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety of healthful, delicious and convenient veggie burgers and soy dogs.
These delicious plant-based foods don't harbor nasty pathogens or cancer-causing compounds. They don't even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs or pesticides. And, they are waiting for us in the frozen food section of our supermarket.
This Fourth of July offers a great opportunity to declare our independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgers and soy dogs with our family and friends.

As we reported, Canonical is taking community input on what the core applications (e-mail, calendar, clock/alarm, weather, file manager, document viewer, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter) should look like.
While an early version of the operating system is supposed to be released as open source code in late February, we haven't been able to go hands-on with Ubuntu for phones just yet. Still, it's fun to take a look at the application designs developers have come up with for core Ubuntu phone apps. So we're going to show you a sampling of them in this gallery.
If you see any designs you hate, don't worry. These mockups are suggestions from Ubuntu community members rather than designs made by Canonical's phone team. This is part of the building process: the best aspects of community proposals will hopefully make it into Ubuntu phones when they finally hit the market sometime toward the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.
David Planella of Canonical told us the goal is to "enable interested community members to participate in the design process of the core phone apps by providing their input," and "support the core app developer teams with a source of inspiration and reference for the implementation."
The project is still in the very early stages. "The Design team at Canonical is currently working on a set of application design guidelines which will land very soon," Planella said. "But until then, the core app developers can get started on the implementation by using some of the design ideas submitted by the community." There's no telling what will end up in the final version of the apps, but Planella said community-contributed mockups "will all provide very valuable input to developers."
If you want to contribute some of your own designs, check out the project guidelines here. There's also a site for developers to help them build third-party apps for Ubuntu phones. In the meantime, take a look at the images to see some of the best designs so far for the phone platform's core apps.
This mockup of an account manager would let users manage their Facebook, Google, Twitter, e-mail, Skype, and other accounts from the phone's settings.
This mockup of an account manager would let users manage their Facebook, Google, Twitter, e-mail, Skype, and other accounts from the phone's settings.
This calculator mockup displays the memory recall function.
The multitude of virtual sticky notes shows the different ways users can manipulate the calendar.
A potential design for switching between day, week, and month views.
Similar to other phone platforms, this design includes a timer, stopwatch, and alarm with the main clock app.
E-mail is a critical app to get right, of course. This mockup proposes a way to display and move through e-mail threads.
What reading an individual e-mail might look like.
Facebook will be a Web app as opposed to a native app. But Web apps in Ubuntu will run independently of the browser and have access to system services, making them similar to native apps.
Ubuntu for phones will have the full power of Ubuntu for desktops underneath, so naturally it will have a robust file manager.
Another look at how users might navigate the file manager.
If you click on a document from the file manager or elsewhere, this is the view you might get.
Setting up the RSS reader could let you define the refresh interval and rules on whether to update over cellular or Wi-Fi.
An RSS feed with headlines and the ability to refresh and mark entries as read.
Don't be intimated—this is only for advanced users. Ubuntu phones will come with a Terminal to give Linux power users access to the command line.
Devoted Twitter users get angry when their platform of choice doesn't have a good Twitter app (See: Windows 8). The pressure's on!
The Weather app might support looooong city names and a five-day forecast.
A fairly standard YouTube app design, which lets you hide the controls and just watch the video by swiping up or down.
Andrew Cunningham
Finishing up with something prettier, we saw Ubuntu running on a Galaxy Nexus at the Consumer Electronics Show. As soon as the Ubuntu phone code becomes publicly available, we plan to test it out ourselves.

The 2013-14 season marks Wayne Phipps' fourth season as Idaho's Director of Track & Field/Cross Country and his 19th overall year with the program. He served as co-head coach from 2000-09 and was an assistant before that from 1995-99. In his time at Idaho, he has been honored 10 times as a conference coach of the year and has led the Vandals to a record 13 total conference titles.
Since 2000, Phipps has overseen an Idaho track and field/cross country program that has produced five individual cross country champions, 46 indoor track and field champions and 103 outdoor champions. Vandals have claimed 19 conference athlete of the year awards, broken 15 conference records and qualified for the NCAA Championships 79 times. Since 2000, Vandal athletes have broken 30 indoor school records and 23 outdoor records, and at least one school record has fallen every year at Idaho during his tenure.
Additionally, Idaho has a very strong academic reputation as regular honorees among the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division I All-Academic Teams in both men's and women's cross country and track and field. Since 2005, five Idaho track and field athletes have earned the Western Athletic Conference's prestigious Stan Bates Award as the top male or female student-athlete in the conference, and the team's athletes have been recognized with a combined 442 WAC All-Academic honors.
In 2007, Phipps led the women to their second cross country title in three years as four runners finished in the top 10. In 2008, he coached yet another WAC Champion, as Allix Lee-Painter won the women's cross country title and the women finished second as a team. In 2010, Idaho claimed its third WAC title in five years, as the team put five runners in the top 15 to claim the crown. Making that title especially sweet was the fact that it was held in Moscow, and was Idaho's first time hosting a WAC Championship event.
Phipps competed for the University of Montana and the University of British Columbia, where he graduated with a degree in exercise science in 1991. Phipps earned his master's of science from the University of Oregon in exercise and movement science, with a sports medicine major and minors in biomechanics and exercise physiology.

ZF-8163: Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap connect method throws possibly misleading exception message on socket open failure
Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap->connect() throws an exception this way is fsockopen fails:
$this->_socket = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, self::TIMEOUT_CONNECTION);
if (!$this->_socket) {
* @see Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception
require_once 'Zend/Mail/Protocol/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception('cannot connect to host : ' . $errno . ' : ' . $errstr);
So for example, in case of a timeout, the exception has the following message:
cannot connect to host : 110 : Connection timed out
When I got this trying to connect to an IMAP server, I figured the Zend-based software was trying to connect via POP3, which uses port 110, and that for some reason the error missed the hostname but only showed the port. I realized in the end that 110 wasn't a port but an errno. It is not entirely wrong though to expect a hostname after "host :". I would suggest this form instead:
'Cannot connect to host. connect(): error ' . $errno . ' (' . $errstr . ')'
Thank you for report and sorry for patience, Filipus.
Solved in svn r18730 (trunk), r18731 (1.9branch).
Come on... I've rarely seen issues treated so fast.
Thank you

How Vehicles Are Tested
Fuel economy is measured under controlled conditions in a laboratory using a standardized test procedure specified by federal law. Manufacturers test their own vehicles—usually pre-production prototypes—and report the results to EPA. EPA reviews the results and confirms about 10%–15% of them through their own tests at the National Vehicles and Fuel Emissions Laboratory.
Estimating MPG with Laboratory Tests
In the laboratory, the vehicle's drive wheels are placed on a machine called a dynamometer that simulates the driving environment—much like an exercise bike simulates cycling.
The energy required to move the rollers can be adjusted to account for wind resistance and the vehicle's weight.
Measuring Fuel Use
For vehicles using carbon-based fuels (e.g., gasoline, diesel, natural gas, etc.), a hose is connected to the tailpipe to collect the engine exhaust during the tests.
The carbon in the exhaust is measured to calculate the amount of fuel burned during the test. This is more accurate than using a fuel gauge.
This method does not work for vehicles using non-carbon-based fuels, such as fuel cell vehicles and electric vehicles.

Apology rejected ... spokesman Steven O'Riordan (C) with, Marina Gambold (L-R), Mary Smyth, Maureen Sullivan and Diane Croghan, at a "Magdalene Survivors Together" news conference. Photo: Getty Images
DUBLIN: Survivor groups have rejected an apology by the Irish Prime Minister for the suffering endured by thousands of women locked up in Catholic-run workhouses, after an inquiry found that 2000 of them had been sent there by the state.
Enda Kenny said the workhouses, known as Magdalene laundries, were the product of a ''harsh and uncompromising Ireland'' and that he was ''sorry for the people who lived in that kind of environment''.
But he angered many of the victims by stopping short of a full apology on behalf of the Irish government. Mr Kenny also failed to offer any financial compensation for what survivors have described as inhumane treatment.

The inquiry, led by Senator Martin McAleese, found that 10,012 women were sent to Magdalene laundries between 1922 and 1996. Ten laundries were in operation at various times, run by four orders of Catholic nuns.
Girls and young women who were homeless, orphaned or deemed to be ''troubled'' or morally ''fallen'' were sent to the industrial laundries to work unpaid. Each woman had her Christian name changed and her surname was unused.
The McAleese report said 2124 of those detained were sent there by the authorities often for crimes as minor as not paying for a train ticket.

Justice for Magdalenes, an advocacy group, said it was aware of at least 988 women buried in laundry plots in cemeteries and who therefore must have stayed for life. The inquiry could certify only 879.
''To those residents who went into the Magdalene laundries from a variety of ways, 26 per cent from state involvement, I'm sorry for those people that they lived in that kind of environment,'' Mr Kenny said.
Surviving women rejected the apology and demanded a fuller admission of responsibility from the government and the religious orders involved. ''That is not an apology,'' said Maureen Sullivan of Magdalene Survivors Together .
Mary Smyth ... 'I will go to the grave with what happened.' Photo: AP
Mary Smyth, a former inmate, described inhumane conditions in a laundry, which she said was worse than being in prison. ''I will go to the grave with what happened. It will never, ever leave me,'' she said.
The report was commissioned in 2011 after the United Nations Committee Against Torture called for an inquiry.
Dr McAleese found no allegations of sex abuse and ruled out reports of torture and beatings. But he described the laundries as a ''harsh and physically demanding work environment'' where ''verbal and psychological abuse was common, alongside the deep hurt felt by the women at their loss of freedom''.

Post subject: The Affaire De Coeur/Romantic Times Controversy
Have you been following the controversy about Affaire De Coeur magazine?
Mystery author/blogger Lee Goldberg dug up some interesting problems with them. First, he did some digging and found out that AdC's advertising director is a co-owner of Light Sword Publishing -- and books published by Light Sword get good reviews and even cover space from AdC. Naturally, he saw this as a huge conflict of interest. Goldberg was also angered by AdC's policies concerning reviews and ad space.
You can read more here:
In a later post, he also criticized both AdC and Romantic Times for their policies about reviews and ad space:
What do you think of this? Does it seem that authors are "buying" reviews in AdC? And how many people know that publishers and authors can buy
cover space
from these magazines? (The same goes for Publishers Weekly.)
Also, what do you think about RT's policy, which seems more gray? From what I understand, they may have felt they had to institute their policy because so many small press books (including e-books) came in for review. RT doesn't promise a positive review to small press authors who buy ad space, and in fact, those authors often get one-star reviews. But what about avoiding the appearance of impropriety?
By the way, does anyone still subscribe to AdC? I still read RT, but I haven't seen a copy of AdC in years. I've seen opposing reviews about AdC. Some people think it's a great magazine, but it has also been criticized for terrible layout errors and even worse, for publishing dubious articles. For example, they will publish "puff pieces" from small press publishers of dubious reputation. Also, they recently published an article that made bold declarations about how headhopping; the lack of romances with castles or Indians; and erotic romance were destroying romance -- and the article turned out to have been written by a vanity press author.
Sigh. Not my idea of an expert. With all the authors and reader reviewers/columnists out there, surely they could have found a better source for an article?
I read a couple of copies of the original version of AdC, and I thought the reviews were good. On the other hand, I wasn't impressed by the typography as it was a very plaink-looking magazine. (That could be a good thing as it was less glitzy than RT.) It's sad to see them come to this.
The current version of the magazine is under new ownership, and I wonder if that makes a difference. From what I understand, the original ownership wouldn't have done this sort of thing.

I heard about this on a couple of other blogs tonight.
I've haven't read RT in several years and never read AdC. Can you imagine how this would go over if it were Publisher's Weekly or the like? It just sounds crooked to me. With AdC, it is a conflict of interest and just plain wrong.
I read Carol Stacy's post on another blog re RT's "reasoning" for allowing the e-pubs and small presses to "pay" for a book review; however you try to justify it, it sounds bad.

I still like to read RT, but I pretty much flip through the historical reviews.
I do read the paranormal, series, etc. reviews, and they do sometimes offer insights, but they're
too short
The issues are just right for reading in the bath tub, while watching TV or doing stuff on the computer, etc.

If PW did this, both publishing and the Internet would blow up.
There seems to be a division in trade magazines -- some will sell cover space, others won't. Some will succumb to pressure from advertisers, some will not. Years ago, glossy SF magazine
Amazing Stories
had a great review section, but one day, they stopped running the criticial reviews. Word on the street was that one of their major advertisers (I have a theory about which one) complained because they had given negative reviews to some of their books. So they stopped publishing negative reviews at all.
And that made the magazine less fun to read, besides feeling like a betrayal and a total "wimp out." (And I couldn't imagine a publisher having the gall to complain about reviews!) Also, the magazine was owned by a company that produced roleplaying games, so I wondered if that influenced how they reviewed their games and novels.
I think many commercial specialty "review" magazines are the same. Wise readers seem to be able to tell the difference. For example, readers complain that some computer gaming magazines love everything, while others aren't afraid to piss off advertisers.
But at least in computer gaming, readers have a variety of magazines to chose from. That's not true in print romance reviews.

I can sort of understand why they did it, but I also think there were other things they should have tried instead. Also, as the market changed and small press authors became more respectable, maybe they should have changed the policy, at least for the bigger e-publishers and popular authors.

"Raintree County Memories" by Mark S. Orr.
Revisit the wondrous days of the summer of 1956 when all of Hollywood gathered in Danville, Kentucky to make a movie about Henry County, Indiana. A movie based on the classic novel by Hoosier author Ross Lockridge Jr. about his real life family dating back to the early 1800's. A movie about the mythical tree planted by Johnny Appleseed from a single and unique seed from which would grow the magical Raintree, the finder of which would know true happiness and life fulfillment. See the stars of the film as never before...read stories about days on the set that summer when Hollywood came to Danville. Hear about the real life Indiana pioneers and places the story was based on. Read an eye-witness account of the assassination of President Lincoln. Follow Lincoln's funeral train as it passes through Indiana and see new and vintage photos of the place that came to be called Raintree County.

Tell the UN that the status quo is unsustainable for our planet's three billion young people
In June 2012, presidents, prime ministers and other world leaders will come to Rio de Janeiro for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. With more than 50,000 participants expected, the event will mark the 20th anniversary of the historic first Earth Summit held there in 1992. The "Rio+20" gathering will set the agenda for the next decade or more for action on critical global challenges.
For the youth of the world, much stands to be gained or lost from the Rio+20 Earth Summit. That's because young people, more than any, understand how they will be affected if world leaders fail to take action on the intertwined environmental and economic pressures they face. There are already plenty of unfulfilled promises in scores of treaties and action plans, and the world's youth are expecting this summit to do much more than just deliver another agenda with lofty goals for the distant future.
As world leaders prepare for Rio+20 they must ensure that young people are a top priority by taking real actions to immediately put us all on a more sustainable path. The Earth Summit is about more than just the planet, it is about our future.
The United Nations is requesting public comments concerning the conference through November 1st.
What to do:
Send a message, before the November 1st, 5pm EST (2100 GMT) comment deadline, urging the United Nations to ensure that the world's youth will be a top priority at Earth Summit 2012.

Sample letter
Subject: I stand with the world?s young people in calling for a transformative Earth Summit 2012
Dear United Nations,
I am writing in support of three billion young people who are worried about their -- and their planet's -- future. The current degradation and exploitation of our Earth?s resources is simply unsustainable, and world leaders must respond in full measure when they meet next June in Rio de Janeiro.
First, we need all world leaders to recognize the urgency of the current situation. They need to understand and inform their own people about the dangers of not acting to move us toward a green economy and a more sustainable future. Youth are worried about the inequity and corruption that contribute to the overtaxing and mismanagement of critical natural resources and ecosystems and undermine the basis for ensuring decent livelihoods for the next generation. The United Nations should urge presidents and prime ministers from every nation to commit as early as possible to come to Rio and to initiate their preparations for the Earth Summit.
Second, world leaders must deliver more in Rio than another agenda with lofty goals for a distant future. Over the last half-year, young people meeting around the world have called out the weak Implementation of scores of existing treaties and action plans adopted at previous summits. These young people are demanding that the next Earth Summit instead generate specific commitments to real actions from governments at all levels, corporations, communities and civil society groups. I agree, and the United Nations should ensure that we are holding everyone accountable for their promises.
Third, governments and corporations need to commit to major new investments in education, employment and empowerment of young people in the transition to a green economy.
We cannot wait another generation for sustainability; the world's young people need their leaders to act now.

It is important to know that the swelling and bruise may appear to spread and go down the cheek or to the other eye. This is normal. Consult your child's physician if the bruising and swelling does not resolve on its own.

ASK IRA: Is the Heat opening schedule unfair?
Q: Is the NBA trying to prevent the Heat from going wild the first week, giving them three games in four nights? Let's say the Heat win the first two games (or go 1-1), that back-to-back game vs. Philly, even with a win, could tire them out to face the Magic at home, with just one day's rest. Or am I just paranoid? — Martin.
A: With this lineup, five games in five nights shouldn't be an issue. Considering this team has a somewhat older bench, there might be something to playing one of its back-to-backs earlier in the season, when, basically, the Heat will be coming off a week's rest from its exhibition finale. This team has no right to complain about anything, including a schedule that will have it heading west three times this season. It is a classic case of being at the mercy of the television schedule.
Q: Do you think it's a done deal that one of our big three will be on the court at all times? I would love to see the look on the opposing teams' faces when Wade, LeBron and Bosh get up off the bench and notify the scorer's table that they're checking in. Talk about total intimidation. — Brad.
A: I think the goal is intimidation during those minutes when the clock is running. Outside of a blowout, I can't fathom Erik Spoelstra ever having all three on the bench.
Q: When you are writing about the potential contributions from Jones' shooting, Magloire's bulk and Anthony's defense, do you ever remind yourself that these guys were sitting on the bench or in suits for most of last season? Why don't you just say the truth: These guys are highly paid practice players to help keep LeBron, Wade and Bosh in shape for games. — David.
A: Think back to those successful Bulls teams, of how bit players were allowed to play to their specialties, be it Steve Kerr's shooting or Will Perdue's size. These guys will look a lot better playing with such top-tier talent.
Q: Hi, Ira. I think that James could average a triple-double for the next five years. His scoring may be down, but all other numbers I think will be going up. With Wade, Bosh and shooters on the team, I see him scoring in the mid 20s, his rebounds at about 10, with 10-12 assists per night. Do you agree? — Erik.
A: My gut feeling is that is exactly what might happen, that in the wake of how this summer played out, LeBron well may try to cast himself more as Oscar Robertson than Michael Jordan.
Q: If you had to offer a guess, who would make the team: Hasbrouck or Beverley? — George.
A: I think Hasbrouck is much further along than Beverley when it comes to NBA polish and potential.

I am the mom to three kiddos: three-year-old twins (Little Dude and Miss A) as well as a five-year-old daughter (Miss C). I'm also a "retired" social worker as well as the wife to a sweet husband. I currently stay home with our kiddos and try to manage the chaos that is our life. I started quilting during my free-time when the kiddos were tiny and all napped at the same time. We no longer have naps, but I still try to squeeze in my sewing time to maintain my sanity. My blog is named for my sewing chair that I refurbished.
With an impromptu vacation to my mom's house due to a broken AC unit, I actually got a bit done this past week. I took my sewing machine and sewed as late as I wanted after the kiddos went to bed. First off I turned these stacks of fabric into these bags!
I used the Jane Market Bag pattern again. It has become a favorite. These guys just need handles now. It's really fun having a stack of bags on hand that are perfect for a simple gift when you need it. I do have a few favorites in the stack...they might find their way into my closet instead.
I finished sewing my HST Flea Market Fancy quilt top. Now I'm just debating on a design for the back.
I've also made some fun progress on my Heather Ross quilt. I wanted to keep this design simple to focus on the fussy cut prints. All the solids are Pure Elements from Art Gallery. I really like how this one is coming along. I'm planning to make it 5 blocks x 7 blocks. I'm just working on it as I have time. I think I'll back it with some grey minky I have on hand, and it will possibly be my favorite quilt all winter long.
Finally, this WIP is starting to take shape. I asked the ladies in two of my quilt bees to send me grey and yellow paper pieced stars. I've received four so far and have made two of my own. I'm so excited to see it slowly come together. This is not a quilt I would have expected myself to make even just a year ago. I love the mix of the modern color scheme and the very traditional paper-pieced stars. I can't wait until this one takes over my design wall.
And that, my friends, is what I have been working on lately! What have you been up to? Here are the linky rules:

Student Spotlight
Adrienne King
In 2005, Adrienne King entered the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Science (IBS) program, pursuing a Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences. Her research focuses on chronic alcohol associated defects in mitochondrial function and how this is related to changes in mitochondrial calcium handling and the mitochondrial phosphoproteome.
When asked why she chose UAB to pursue her graduate studies, Adrienne replied, "I am originally from Alabama and have always known that UAB is nationally known for its biomedical research. I was also interested in Environmental Health and knew that UAB had an outstanding School of Public Health with an Environmental Health Science program. I wanted to combine these two areas and felt that UAB was the best place to be able to combine both interests."
Adrienne has special people in her life who have influenced her academic career and motivated her in her research. She credits her mentor, Dr. Shannon Bailey, to be her greatest influence at UAB. She explains, "She has and continues to be very supportive in my academic work as well as my research. She is teaching me the necessary tools that are needed to be an outstanding research scientist." As for her motivation, Adrienne adds, "One of my motivations for my academics/research is being able to know that I may be making a difference in someone's life. Another motivation is my family especially my late father. He and my husband were my biggest cheerleaders when I decided to go back to school to get my PhD after working for 3 years."
After graduating Adrienne plans to continue expanding her knowledge and develop more specialized research skills through a postdoctoral fellowship in academia. She then wants to pursue an academic position in order to continue her research.
Adrienne advises other graduate students to work hard, love what you do, ask questions, listen, and take time out for yourself. She also believes in striving hard to reach goals and never giving up.
Adrienne L. King is currently a 3rd year doctoral student in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences under the mentorship of Dr. Shannon Bailey. She was recently selected to serve as the student representative on the Occupational and Public Health Specialty Section for the Society of Toxicology. In this capacity, she will assist the specialty section in achieving one of its goals to improve and increase student participation and elevate student interest in research in the area of toxicology as it pertains to public health.
For more information about the Society for Toxicology, the Occupational and Public Health Specialty Section, or student involvement contact Adrienne at email@example.com.

Recovery in Control Panel includes several options that can help you recover your computer from a serious error.
Open Recovery by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type recovery, and then click Recovery.
Before you use Recovery, there might be an automatic troubleshooter available in Control Panel that can fix the problem. For more information, see Troubleshooting in Windows.
System Restore is a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e‑mail, documents, or photos. System Restore is the best choice if you installed a program or driver that caused an unexpected change to your computer or Windows, and uninstalling the program or driver didn't fix the problem. For more information, see What is System Restore?
If System Restore returns an error, try using a different restore point. If you still receive an error, try running System Restore from the System Recovery Options menu. Using System Restore this way requires manually restarting your computer and choosing System Restore from the System Recovery Options menu. Also, you can't undo System Restore when using this method. For more information, see What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
Recovery also contains two advanced recovery methods that you can use if Windows is badly damaged or otherwise unusable. The first method replaces everything on your computer, including Windows and all of your personal files, with a backup or a recovery image. The second method reinstalls Windows in its entirety. Either method might delete any programs that you have installed.
These advanced options can help resolve software-based problems by returning your computer to an earlier state, but because they can delete personal files and programs, it's best to try them only if nothing else has fixed the problem. Before using the advanced options, you should first read Choosing an advanced recovery method.
If you choose one of these advanced methods, you'll have the opportunity to back up your personal files to another location, such as an external hard drive, before continuing. After the recovery is complete, you'll then need to reinstall your programs and restore your personal files from the backup. For more information, see Back up your files.

Hello All,
I am somewhat new to the world of Lejos programming with NXT, and I'm having a great time.
My current project requires me to establish a bluetooth connection with the NXT brick so that I can send commands down to it (a remote control program running on the computer talks to a program running on the brick -- fun!).
I'm having NO LUCK getting a happy bluetooth connection.
I'm running this on an iMac running Mavericks.
2 issues:
* We downloaded and ran the install for the latest version of the Fantom drivers from NI. (from Nov 2013. 631 KB). We do manage to pair with the brick from the Mac, but we lose the connection in a minute or two, despite the fact that the brick remains on. And to make it reconnect, we have to remove the device from the bluetooth list and connect again.
* When calling the .connectTo() method of NXTConnector, we see this in the eclipse console: "Native library bluecove not available". I did download the bluecove jar and add it to my project's build path, but that didn't solve the problem. I read a couple of posts about 32 and 64 bit and java's library path, but I couldn't make any headway with them.
Any help much appreciated.
