It only took 28 seconds for six-time land speed record holder and one of the world's fastest BMW motorcycle racers, Valerie Thompson, to shatter the East Coast Timing Association's one-mile record in the MPS/Modified Class during the recent Ohio Mile competition. Thompson piloted her BMW S 1000 RR to 208.71 mph, easily breaking the former record of 205 mph. Thompson's new record also qualified her for membership in the exclusive ECTA 200 MPH Club while claiming bragging rights as the fastest RR in the MPS/F-1000 Class.
"Going into this event, my confidence was very high. I had just completed the California Superbike School held in Birmingham, the best motorcycle racing course school in the US. We made a few modifications to my DoubleR by adding new HP Race Parts provided by BMW Motorrad USA, Akrapovic exhaust systems and additional horsepower with Magic Bullet Advance Fuel Treatment. The wonderful folks at NorthStar Battery also helped us with special delivery of their excellent batteries, which was a great help," said team owner and rider Thompson. "It is a great honor and achievement to be the newest member of the ECTA's 200 MPH Club, especially since I am only the 3rd female of less than 100 members. I'll be wearing my ECTA 200 MPH Club lifetime member shirt proudly," added a smiling Thompson.
The ECTA hosts four speed trial events at the Airborne Park facility in Wilmington Ohio each year. Prior to moving to the Airborne Park location in 2012, the ECTA held the competition in Maxton North Carolina from 1995 through 2011 and was named the Maxton Mile.
Thompson and her BMW team now turn their sights on setting new land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats during the August speed trials. For details, visit ValerieThompsonRacing.com.

[sylpheed:21224] Sylpheed has become slow to start.
Charles Sullivan <cwsulliv <at> triad.rr.com>
I recently upgraded my system from Red Hat 7.2 to Red Hat 9, and at the same time upgraded Sylpheed from 0.8.9 to 0.9.3. The upgrade was a fresh install of the / directory but I kept my existing /home directory and saved mail files. When I clicked on its panel icon, Sylpheed previously popped up on the screen in less than a second. Now the basic Sylpheed window pops up in about that same time but it takes about 5-6 seconds for the various mail folders to appear. (I manually click to download new mail so Sylpheed isn't being slowed down by that.) Are others experiencing the same delay? If not, are there any suggestions for restoring Sylpheed's previous snappy behavior? Thanks for your help and advice. Regards, Charles Sullivan

It's not self-serving to say that Vera's Guardianship Project does extraordinarily important work. It's simply true.
Every time our team helps an older adult or a person with disabilities for whom we serve as court-ordered guardian return home from a nursing facility, avert eviction, get his finances in order, receive the home care and other services needed to stay at home, or, at the end of life, die with dignity, I'm reminded of this fact.
But sometimes, telling the project's story through the lens of one client's experience is the best way to convey its importance, as shown in our recent article published in the American Bar Association's journal BIFOCAL: Bar Associations in Focus on Aging and the Law.
Read the story of Mr. R and I'm convinced you'll see why The Guardianship Project is a promising, cost-effective model for addressing challenges facing an aging society, one that strives and succeeds—against often seemingly insurmountable odds—to maintain people in their homes and communities whenever possible.

I have really wanted to use one of
Matrix Orbital's new USB LCD's in a project for quite some time now,
and the opportunity recently presented itself when I reviewed the
Eclipse keyboard from Saitek—you can read that review here. My
only real beef with this awesome keyboard is the fact that Saitek
got it so right that I couldn't think of anything I would mod on
it—and as you know, stock is not an option around here. Having
painted their gaming version of this keyboard, I had had a good look
at the inner workings, and changing the LED's from the sexy blue to a
red or green was not really something I wanted to do.
If there wasn't anything that needed
changing, then I would just have to add something. A quick trip to
CrazyPC turned up the very nice USB LCD's from Matrix Orbital. Now
we had a plan, and as you can see, it turned out rather nice. Read
on for a review of the LK202-24-USB, a quick look at some very handy
software called LCDC used to run your LCD, and a short how-to for
those who might want to make their own Orbital Eclipse mod.
The LK202-24-USB is equipped with the following features:
As we won't be mounting our LCD in a
5.25 inch bay on our PC, I opted for the LK-202-24-USB because it
comes without the face plate for mounting and saves a few bucks. If
you wanted to mount it in your PC, be sure to look at the MX2 kit
versions that include a face plate with 7 key keypad, USB power/data
cable, and a copy of LCDC. You may also want your LCD in a different
color and you're in luck as they come in all the colors shown

Ok, here is the setup. I'm outside the local network and connecting to my home network using iSSH (on iPad), so far so good, I used to redirect my home mediacenter to
localhost by creating a tunnel . So I can enter
localhost:8080 in my address bar and browse my mediacenter at home, it was:
local port : 8080
destination host : localhost
destination port 8080
That worked well.
Now I would like to go a step further and tell the mediacenter I'm connecting to, to redirect
192.168.1.112:8800, that's the machine I'd like to access from the mediacenter and basically use the mediacenter as a gateway. I assume I'd have to use
ssh -L but I`m not too sure if it's the right way to go about it.
How do I create this tunnel?

Nobody expected that Chilumba Village in Karonga district, Malawi, could shine like it does - their homes are like stars lighting up the night.
It all started with a large macrosolar installation on the Teacher Development Centre (TDC), using power from the sun, to light class rooms. This was successful, attracting students from their homes to study into the evening. However, as good as it was, their lighting problem remained unsolved. Because, the moment students and teachers went home, they had the same old light in their homes - mainly candles, battery powered torches and kerosene lanterns.
For safety, students leave the TDC campuses at 8:00pm, so the question might be: is studying in the classroom enough for them to excel in their education? The answer is a definite no. If they are to gain good grades then they need to continue study at home. This is why we have a targeted schools campaign, which sells students solar power but at an affordable price.
Chilumba Village now operates as our hub, where we sell small and portable solar desk lamps to residents throughout the Hangalawe Zone, which has 18 schools and is headed by the Primary Education Advisor (PEA) Mr E Jabu.
Located at the foot of a beautiful mountain, Bundi is one of the schools which benefit. They have no electricity, not even one power line, but they do have a large solar panel installation, which, although beneficial to the immediate community, cannot reach those further afield. Making matters worse, there is a river which cuts the school off from others close by, when there are heavy rains. Consequently, students struggle to attend class. It is, therefore, of huge benefit for these students to study at home - our portable solar lights are perfect for this.
It is very hard to gain access to Bundi, but we managed it. I'll let you know how we get on very soon.
To help us sell even more solar lights and eradicate the kerosene lantern then please make a donation.
I recently caught up with Mr Chisale, a citizen of the beautiful district of Likoma Island. Mr Chisale had just bought a SunnyMoney solar light, or as he refers to it, the 'lion of brightness'. Having worked with the District Commissioners Office, he did not need much explanation about the benefits of solar and snapped up the system straight away. Below, Mr Chisale discusses the benefit in switching to solar, resorting to diesel for light and how he wishes to give a special thank you to The Body Shop Foundation:
Brave: Why have you chosen to buy this product?
Mr Chisale: I need reliable light.
Brave: Before purchasing a solar light, what were you using as a source of light?
Mr Chisale: Candles, kerosene and sometimes diesel since kerosene is so scarce here, being an Island.
Brave: How much have you been paying for them each?
Mr Chisale: Hoch (high), my friend, quite a lot. A candle costs MWK 50 each and every day. Kerosene, I do not know since it has been a long time since we had it here. Diesel is MWK 400 per litre, which would keep us going for a week and a half as a family.
Brave: But, diesel is very dangerous to your health, why were you taking such a life or death risk?
Mr Chisale: We had no choice my son. As you have seen for yourself we have had no other choices in Likoma. We really have to thank you for this wonderful thing that you have done, bringing these products here, that we people of Likoma never thought of.
Brave: We have them here because of the support from The Body Shop Foundation, what is your word to them?
Mr Chisale: I really thank and plead with them to continue with this wonderful work. It might sound simple to them but to us it is a great thing. My life is different today because of them and if there is a chance, let my words touch their ears on behalf of the entire Likoma population.
More news and updates soon.

A quick update to say that I was thrilled to re-visit Usisya village, Nkhata Bay North, and discover that the SunnyMoney microsolar business we had helped develop a few months ago was now fully operational. Indeed, working so well that the shop we visited to buy some eggs from when I arrived had a Firefly solar lamp in the front room!
Located along the lake shore and at the foot of beautiful mountains, Usisya is an isolated community connected by tough roads with limited transport by boat - a situation which hinders Usisya's development. What's more, like many rural communities, the people here are far from the electricity grid. Traditionally, they have only had access to expensive and dirty generators for power and toxic kerosene for light. Now, renewable energy is taking over as the necessary power source and the community are viewing solar as the solution to a energy crisis that they have faced for decades.
The village chief told me how kerosene had all but vanished from his village: "This is the development we need in this community, I'm very happy today that SunnyMoney has come to the rescue of 30,000 people. Our houses will now shine with these products and all worries are gone. I cannot remember the last time I smelled kerosene because you cannot easily find it here."
So, back to those eggs from the first paragraph! I spoke with the shop keeper about his experience with solar and he told me how much he prefers his new product to old lighting methods: "I'm very happy using this product. It is much better than the cheap torches and it saves money as I do not buy kerosene anymore and can charge my phone with it. The amount of lighting it is producing is satisfying, bright enough to see anything; I also use it when selling from my shop at night".
Later we gathered at Usisya Community Day Secondary School and interest in our latest solar products blossomed. The function was attended by all key stakeholders in the community, including chiefs, organisational representatives, fishermen, workers' representatives and other community members.
All in all SunnyMoney garnered tremendous success while we were there, thanks to our demonstration of new products and villagers' testimonials. I can't wait to see how much further solar has taken off next time I visit and I shall enjoy my solariased eggs!

Mr McDonald Nyambose is a Primary Education Advisor (PEA) and beneficiary of the Engucwini Teacher Development Centre's (TDC) microsolar programme. This particular TDC supplies local schools with resources including microsolar lights. McDonald acquired a Ravi solar lamp in August last year to alleviate energy sourcing problems.
Engucwini is one of the remotest areas in Mzimba district and isolated from active trading centres. Consequently, the area has limited access to traditional fuels such as kerosene. As a teacher without an alternative, kerosene has been an absolute necessity to enable McDonald to prepare lesson plans in the evenings. However, the nearest resource is Mzuzu city, 80 kilometres away. The trip costs MWK 1000 (£4) in transport fees and MWK 146 (60p) for every litre of kerosene. Because of the long distance McDonald had been forced to buy in bulk and store the highly flammable kerosene in his house, despite the risk of fire and toxic inhalation associated with the fuel. McDonald has used cheap torches and candles as alternatives, however, these methods are not only expensive, but, with candles, a fire risk.
McDonald's life has been transformed with the purchase of SunnyMoney microsolar lights. He said : "I'm happy with the way these products function. They are clean, portable, robust, healthy, safe and affordable. I use one to light the kitchen at night when my wife is cooking delicious food for the family. It is more efficient and safer to use compared to kerosene, plus the smell of kerosene often spoilt the food. After cooking, my daughters and son, who are at secondary school and primary respectively, use it for studying. Our other system is mainly used for lighting the living room because it is a brighter model. The savings I now make from not using kerosene and batteries are used to support my family's day to day basic needs.
As an education advisor in this area I have a big role to help the community, therefore, I find the microsolar systems useful as educational aids to explain better to community members about the difference solar can make to their lives."
Mcdonald has been working with the Head PEA, Mrs Ester Ng'oma, to educate local people on the value of solar. Ester said: "As the Head PEA of this zone, I am happy to be part of the SolarAid programme, both micro and macro. My work is now easy since I'm able to work at night time and consequently better organise my day. I applied for access to the power grid two years ago but nothing has been done to date and I do not know when it will be. SunnyMoney products have provided an immediate solution. They have eradicated most of the energy related challenges we have been facing in this area and other parts of the country. I will work hard to distribute more throughout my community."
Please enable us to help more rural communities discover the benefits of solar by making a donation.
I recently paid a visit to the Kanjuchi Teacher Development Centre (TDC) to supervise and monitor the distribution of microsolar products to local schools. In Malawi, TDCs are a resource for neighbouring schools and consequently are a great way to facilitate the distribution of our SunnyMoney microsolar lamps.
Despite being the last TDC in the area to have access to our products, Kanjuchi recently purchased 455 systems, of which 230 were sold in just two months, generating MWK 365,000 (£1,500). The availability of solar lamps has stimulated huge demand from the community. This allows Kanjuchi TDC to generate a profit and fulfill their commitment to pay a contribution towards the installation of a SolarAid roof-top installation, and buy new computers for students. The extra light in the evening also allows for better time management for teachers and consequently improves teaching standards.
Mr John Stone Nkhoma, a primary school teacher at Mgoza Primary School (a beneficiary of the Kanjuchi TDC) told me how he is using his new SunnyMoney light: "I like this product, it has given me more time to prepare my work than before. I used to have to walk 10km to buy kerosene or charge my phone. When it's not needed for light I can use my Ravi to power a radio. I listen to an education programme together with my pupils; which is great for their learning and helps with my teaching. My health has also improved since I'm now using clean energy that does not produce any poisonous gas."
It is so encouraging to be in the field witnessing how SunnyMoney products are changing people's lives. I was amazed to see children flocking towards me with words of thanks for their new solar light. Some were singing "Ungweru! Ungweru!" meaning "Light! Light!". They were excited because they will no longer have to use jasko (lighting grass commonly used in villages) as a source of light.
Please help us bring clean affordable light to as many school children as possible by making a donation here.
A few weeks ago I brought you news on the success of Mr JB Nyirenda's SunnyMoney kiosk in Nkhata Bay. Since then I have managed to catch up with two beneficiaries to discover how the acquisition of microsolar has changed their lives.
Mr BM Longwe is a Community Day Secondary School Teacher in Nkhata Bay and one of the first end-users to acquire a SunnyMoney lamp from Mr Nyirenda's kiosk.
When asked about the difference microsolar has made, Mr Longwe said: "I'm so happy using this wonderful product, it has positively changed my life in a short time. Before I acquired this product, I bought kerosene from the filling station which is very far (about 12 kilometres or a three hour walk) from where I work. On average I was spending MK800 (£3.30) per month on four litres of kerosene. When kerosene wasn't available (it can be very scarce) I would buy candles and torches, often spending MK1,200 (£4.90) on two torches each month and MK562.50 (£2.30) on batteries, because of their poor quality.
"Now, with SunnyMoney, all my money that was spent on light energy is saved and used to buy food, clothing and medication for the home. I also no longer spend time searching for sources of light. Consequently my working output has increased, and I can do work preparation in the evening as opposed to during the daylight hours. This gives me more time to organise my work and improves my efficiency."
Mr Meleke Zidebe Banda (above) was the first customer to purchase a SunnyMoney lamp in Nkhata Bay Central, in May 2010.
Mr Banda now has five products, mainly used by his grand children for studying at night and to light his house generally. He told me: "I'm a happy man today because I no longer spend money on kerosene, candles and torches. These microsolar products save me money because they do not have ongoing costs. My kids are happy with them because now they can study much more at night. Their performance at school has improved incredibly since they started using these products.
I would like to personally encourage donors to keep on supporting this organisation as they touch and change the lives of many in this country."
Please help us continue to support entrepreneurs and reach rural Africans in Southern and Eastern Africa with solar light by donating here.
I recently caught up with Mr JB Nyirenda, a successful entrepreneur operating in Nkhata Bay District in Northern Malawi. Mr Nyirenda began working with SolarAid in 2008 when I was a leading entrepreneur in the region and he was a key Sales Representative of mine. Since then I have developed my role and now operate as Field Coordinator for SolarAid in Malawi.
Mr Nyirenda was trained in 2009 by SolarAid volunteers to assemble and sell microsolar products to his community. The business quickly became the main source of income for his family, encouraging him to work harder and attain even greater sales. From a group of ten members, Mr Nyirenda is the best performer of all, registering more units sold than any other member.
In May 2010, Mr Nyirenda was nominated to manage a SunnyMoney kiosk in Nkhata Bay District. The kiosk is now the main distribution point of solar products in the area. In fact, since opening the shop, over 150 products have been distributed, generating an average income of MK28,500 per annum (£122) - a good wage in Malawi.
Mr Nyirenda said: "This business has had a very big impact on my life. I have stable income to support my family's day to day needs and I can pay school fees for my children, one of which has just graduated at the University of Malawi. My status in the community has also changed. Now I'm recognised as an important person because of an improved financial status and a social network with other important people in the community. They consider me a role model to inspire the young ones to work hard for success. Plus there is improved health since my family no longer uses kerosene as a source of light."
It is very important that we continue to support entrepreneurs such as Mr Nyirenda. Please make a donation to help bring clean and affordable light to as many people as possible.
Seeing is believing. Today in Luwinga, orphan Ruth Banda had tears of joy, excitement, appreciation and encouragement after receiving relief from the Kwithu Community-based Organisation (CBO). The group, a dedicated team of women, support orphans and other less privileged children in Luwinga township. I watched as they gave Ruth tablets of soap, salt, maize grains, beans and clothes to help her care for her family of sisters. You can find more about their work from a previous blog here.
The CBO are able to support people such as Ruth partly through the profit they generate from SunnyMoney microsolar sales. This also gives the entrepreneurs the opportunity to provide education support for Ruth and her sisters. In fact Ruth's younger sister has recently been offered a scholarship to study at Mzuzu Academy (a newly opened international high school, in the city of Mzuzu) - fantastic news.
So, let's all put our heads up, hands together and walk the same step as Kwithu CBO to support more poor communities as they look to escape poverty.

Towards the end of my stay in Malawi I visited a women's group, most of whom were widows using SunnyMoney to benefit their local community. In Malawi, when you are widowed, you usually lose everything and end up in severe poverty. To combat the norm, this group is working together to train women in skills that could help provide income for their families. Although local crafts such as jewellery and embroidery are encouraged, in recent times three of the women have gained success as SunnyMoney franchisees.
With the money generated from SunnyMoney sales, the group has put some aside to buy food for orphaned children. They also pay for special soya porridge for those with HIV and other food types to ensure these children grow up with a balanced diet generally.
The SunnyMoney products are the best selling items that they have, selling 35 units since February this year. If a panel sells for MWK 1,500 (£6 ), MWK 1,000 (£4) goes to the entrepreneur and MWK 500 (£2) to the group. This has increased income by 50% for the entrepreneurs and allowed them to better provide for family support, food, bills and school fees.
One lady commented that before SunnyMoney she could not send aid to her brother who has a mental disorder, but after becoming a franchisee, she can afford to send him instalments of MWK 2000 (£8) to help him support himself.
To help SolarAid recruit more SunnyMoney franchisees and bring clean light to some of the world's poorest people please make a donation.
On my recent trip to Malawi I visited two entrepreneurs to learn more about their new profession as SunnyMoney Franchisees.
Lusungu Nkhowani owns a SunnyMoney kiosk in Mzuzu town market where she supplies 20 agents who sell our SunnyMoney products. She has been running the kiosk for two months since finishing high school. Now she says she can find money to pay for her five year old daughter's school fees, pay for her house rent, buy better food for her small family and pay the bills.
When she first started running the kiosk, Lusungu bought herself a three bulb Kadzuwa (the locally produced microsolar product). Now she is saving to buy a Ravi, which sell for 6500MWK (£28), Lusungu says it is a "good price for the customer".
John Nyirenda owns a kiosk in Nkata Bay, Malawi. He sourced the money to open the shop by selling one of his cows called Chimwemwe for 85,000K (£370), which is how the shop got its name. He has been running the store for six weeks and has managed to sell 11 Ravis.
SunnyMoney is now John's main profession but at home he is still a dairy farmer. Because of his new business, John is able to buy more food for his family and send his grand-daughter to secondary school. Without the business he would have had to sell all his cattle to keep her in school.

She stood on the House of Blues stage, in a purple one-piece jumper, switching between a guitar, a cowbell and a tambourine. Corinne Bailey Rae (CBR) is an English singer/songwriter who stole our hearts with her self-titled debut album, back in 2006. Her fans are proud to have her back, as she tours with the release of her new album, The Sea.
Maureen, from North Carolina, was visiting family in Boston and came down to check out the show. She had this to say about CBR, "My teenage daughter introduced me to her a couple of years ago and I liked her songs. It's just a different kind of vocal – really intriguing. I immediately loved her music. It was fun and mellow and that's exactly what you need."
Michela from Jamaica Plain shared, "This is my first Corinne Bailey Rae show. I'm very excited. I like her music. She's a litter hipster with some edge and soul. I like the soul side." Nikki from Roslindale added, "My friend Traci got me into listening to Corinne and I really enjoy her."
Right up front was Angel, who traveled with her husband all the way from Texas, just to see this show. "I'm really excited. I didn't get to see her last time and so we did everything we could do to be here today." Angel was lucky enough to meet Corinne after her Boston set, saying, "She really is one of the nicest people that you would ever want to meet. She seemed genuinely surprised and appreciated the fact that my husband and I love her music so much, that we flew all the way from Houston just to see her in concert."
Deb from Pembroke and her fiancé, Jay are getting married in June. "We have to say that 'Put Your Records On,' was our little song for awhile. I used to sing it so much in the shower that he actually had to go buy the CD, because he got tired of hearing me sing it. So, we love CBR and we're so thrilled to be here. Love her new album – I know it has meaning for the right reasons – but honestly, her original CD is a little more upbeat. I'm anxious to see how the 2nd CD sounds live. We love her and we welcome her to Boston."
Kimya, from Austin, TX, goes to school locally, "I've loved Corinne since I was in high school, so about 6 years ago. The first time I saw her perform, her husband was in the band. So, I expect this one to be a little more somber. I'm interested to see how she's switch it up. It's a sad, sad truth, but most performers do very well after personal tragedy. I'm excited to see her and I love her."
Lonnie from Groton, CT, "I saw Corinne open for John Legend and she was an angel. We stayed for Corinne and we left after that. Her voice is like butter – she's just amazing. I love the new CD and I love the old CD. I think the dynamic between the first and second CD was such a range, that I'm excited to see the difference in her tonight."
Corinne's set was fantastic, although her old fans (including myself) were dying to hear everything off the first album. She did a reggae cover of "I Only Have Eyes for You" and was backed the entire night, by a 5-piece band. Shoutouts to Steve.

We are adults and it's about time we started dressing our ages (which we won't ever reveal). We have to give up thinking that jeans are acceptable for anything and everything that happens between 5:00pm on a Friday and 8:00am on a Monday. Sometimes, these Moschino Cheap and Chic Tapered Wool Pants ($625) would be more appropriate. Yard sales? Probably not. Weekend outings to the aquarium with our families and friends? Definitely yes.

CLUJ, Romania (AP) -Robin van Persie scored with an exquisite finish plus a more fortuitous attempt Tuesday as Manchester United came from behind to win 2-1 at CFR Cluj in the Champions League.
Trailing 1-0 to Cluj's 14th-minute opener, United leveled when Rooney's cross struck Van Persie's head then shoulder to loop over the goalkeeper and land in the net in the 29th.
If the Netherlands striker's first goal was lucky, his second was pure class - and again Rooney was the provider. The England forward chipped the ball through a hesitant Cluj defense, and Van Persie slipped into space and clipped it into the corner with the outside of his boot in the 49th for his sixth goal for United.
It was the first match the pair had both started since Van Persie moved in the offseason from Arsenal, and Rooney's willingness to drop deeper to collect possession troubled Cluj's defenders all match.
"I think there are good combinations between all the players in attacking positions. The strength of this squad is in attacking positions," United manager Alex Ferguson said. "If you look at the way they kept going to the end, they're good crossers of the ball.
"The best quality of both two men is that they can turn a game and this is an important feature of both of them. I think we've got a real good pair of players, top players who can finish and change a game."
United has a maximum six points in Group H, three ahead of Cluj and Braga. Galatasaray has zero. Braga won 2-0 at Galatasaray in the other game.
Ferguson wasn't entirely happy with this trip to Transylvania, his team falling behind for the sixth time in nine matches this season after a counterattack from the Romanian champions.
Rafael Bastos swept a pass out wide to Modou Sougou, who exposed United left back Patrice Evra's defensive frailties and then whipped in a low cross that Pantelis Kapetanos finished in fine style.
"Losing that goal the way we did is a shocker. An absolute shocker," Ferguson said.

- Merriam-Webster adds new words to the dictionary every year. This year, "carbon footprint" made the list. It describes how much carbon dioxide something emits. So did "Green-collar", any job working with the environment, and "Locavore", people who eat locally grown food; via Fresh Greens.
- Dr. Fuhrman's friend and veggie advocate, Heather Mills, has opened an organic vegan cafe in Hove Lagoon in West Sussex in the United Kingdom, called The Vbites Café. Heather is a big proponent of a meat-free life and may soon launch her own line of frozen vegan faux-meat foods; TreeHugger explains.
- Electric cars are already very popular in Europe, but experts speculate the sales of electric cars in the U.S. could jump 86%, by 2030.

CONGAREE NATIONAL PARK, S.C. — After spending 60 hours lost with his two children in the vast woods and swamps of the Congaree National Park, drinking foul water and trying unsuccessfully to eat raw turkey eggs, J.R. Kimbler says he knows what not to do next time.
Kimbler, 43, had planned a quick nature hike with his two children during their visit. He took no water or snacks, nor his daughter's asthma medicine or a trail map.
''I feel like the world's worst father. But I guess I did pretty good because I kept everybody alive for three days,'' Kimbler told reporters just before they were released from the hospital Tuesday.
Kimbler and his kids, 10-year-old Dakota and 6-year-old Jade, were rescued Tuesday morning. Doctors said they were fine except for some dehydration, scratches, and bug bites.
Kimbler said the signs on the trails confused them Saturday afternoon and they ended up lost among the giant trees, deep in the undergrowth and marsh of the 27,000-acre park. The trails were especially tough to follow.
As the sun set, Kimbler realized they were hopelessly lost and sent a short text message to a friend. Right after he hit send, his cellphone died.
Kimbler is a taxi driver with no Boy Scout or survival training. ''Closest I got to that was watching the 'Survivor' series on TV,'' he said.
So he did what he could. They drank scummy, terrible-tasting water that collected in puddles after picking out the bugs and leaves. They kept walking toward the sun, because Kimbler figured they would run into something or someone. They tried to find food, and Kimbler thought they hit the jackpot after scaring away a wild turkey and finding six or eight eggs. However, that didn't go well.
''I grabbed one of the eggs and said, 'We can eat these — crack them open and swallow them whole!' I cracked it open and the bird was too developed. It was gross,'' Kimbler said.

In a old mfc application i've some fields that are the decodification of others fields. For example, in the image below, i can edit the "title" dropdown with values Mr, Mrs ecc, and in the field next to it, i see the entire description "Mister"(this field is never editable):
Now, i want give my app a look more modern (flat), so I would remove sunken style. I have the doubt how to change it: - if i leave border in the control, the field description could be interpreted as an editable textbox disabled -if i remove border, it seems a label
Any idea to make clear the concept that the field description is not editable, but is different from a label and from a textbox?

A year ago, the Cardinal dealt the Ducks their lone loss of the season and a potential trip to the National Championship game with a thrilling 17-14 overtime victory in Eugene. Oregon is undefeated again this year and has won every game by at least three touchdowns.
"I'm already done thinking about Oregon State and the effort tonight, but it wasn't good enough to beat Oregon or good enough to be in the game against Oregon," said David Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football after Stanford's hard-fought 20-12 victory at Oregon State on Saturday night. "We have a bunch of stuff that we need to make sure we do in the next 12 to 14 days to play one of the best teams in the nation."
Jump-starting the offense will be a priority. With the exception of running back Tyler Gaffney, who paced the 7-1 Cardinal with 145 yards on 22 carries and three touchdowns, it was another uneven performance by the group, which produced only 88 yards passing, 13 first downs compared to Oregon State's 23, and once again kept its defense on the field too long, the Beavers running 81 plays to Stanford's 51, and piling up a 17-minute time of possession advantage.
"Offensively, we did not play well enough," said Shaw. "Bottom line, we missed too many things in the passing game – quarterbacks, receivers, coach, blame us all."
Fortunately, the Cardinal defense came up big, especially linebacker Trent Murphy, who collected 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and blocked an extra point. Josh Mauro and Kevin Anderson also kept the heat on Beaver quarterback Sean Mannion.
Playing short-handed much of the way after losing Ben Gardner to a shoulder injury, Mauro posted 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack, while Anderson added 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. All told, Stanford recorded 13.0 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks, stopped Oregon State four of five times on fourth down – four times in Cardinal territory -- and limited the pass-happy Beavers to 17 net yards rushing.
"That's a senior group that's been a good unit for a long time," said Oregon State head coach Mike Riley. "You have to be spot on against them and that's why we had more negative plays than we've had all year and had a hard time sometimes with protection. That's why they're a good football team."
Shaw gave much of the credit to Derek Mason, the Willie Shaw Director of Defense.
"It was a great game plan by coach Mason," he said. "We executed very well. I thought we played extremely well against the No. 1 quarterback and No. 1 receiver in the nation. We knew they were going to make some plays, but to hold them down was phenomenal."
Mannion completed 41 of 57 passes for 271 yards and one touchdown, while Brandin Cooks had nine receptions for 80 yards. But the Cardinal did a nice job containing both.
"We've said since the beginning of the season that we have to have guys that are ready to play," said inside linebacker Shayne Skov. "Going into the season we found ourselves having great depth and now it's time for that to show. Hopefully the guys that are banged up can get healthier for the next game."

Extra Points
The Oregon game is a sellout, although some standing room-only tickets are available … Stanford has now forced a turnover in 33 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in the country behind Missouri (38) … Inside linebacker A.J. Tarpley finished with a game and career-high 13 tackles … Punter Ben Rhyne had a busy night, kicking seven times and finished with a 40-yard average … PK Jordan Williamson missed his second straight game with a pulled muscle in … Stanford professor Michael Longaker was the honorary captain.

This Week
The Arizona softball team enters the meat of its schedule - conference play - with a three-game Pac-10 home stand. UA plays the No. 6 Washington Huskies (24-7) Friday night, No. 2 UCLA Saturday night and UCLA Sunday afternoon. Washington is the team that gave UA its only loss of the season, 7-6 in the title game of the Kia Klassic in Fullerton March 21. The Bruins (26-1) were the top-ranked team in the country until a March 14 loss gave Arizona the top spot. The Bruins play Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday in Los Angeles and at Arizona State Friday in Tempe before its action at Hillenbrand Stadium in Tucson. Sunday's game will be televised by CSTV.
The Coaches
Larry Ray (Idaho State '74) is 36-1 in his tenure as acting head coach of the Wildcats. Including five seasons (four of competition) building a Florida program he has a career record of 205-107. His work with the Arizona program dates to 1986 and he was Candrea's top assistant for 10 years. Acting associate head coach Nancy Evans, a former Honda Award winner as a player, has been an assistant at UA since 1999. UA's start of 34-0 to open the year gave Ray the best start in Arizona history.
The Coach
Arizona's Mike Candrea carries a career record of 982-191 in 18 years at UA, but put it on hold this season while he's on partial leave to be head coach of the U.S. Olympic Team. The eight-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year is a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He has led Arizona to six national championships and seven Pac-10 titles. Candrea has led UA to 16 consecutive College World Series.
Last Week
The Cats welcomed Mike Candrea and Team USA for an exhibition game on Friday, and saw why the club is the two-time defending Olympic gold medalist. Former UA star Jennie Finch struck out 13 in five innings of one-hit pitching to get the 6-1 victory, though she did give up a home run to UA freshman Kristie Fox - the only run scored off Finch in the Olympians' 25-0 "Aiming for Athens" tour. The U.S. team had only six hits but little trouble getting some runs against UA's Alicia Hollowell, mostly with short-game and gap hitting. On Saturday, UA slipped past former players in the annual Alumni Game, 2-1, in five innings. On Sunday, the Cats returned to regular-season play and swept Nevada-Las Vegas, 11-3 (6 innings) and 6-4. Hollowell came on in relief in the second game with the game tied 4-4, and earned her 23rd victory of the year by retiring all 10 batters she faced - nine of those on strikeouts. The Cats banged out 23 hits in the two games including 14 in the first game, to hit .423 in the series. The victories moved UA to 36-1 on the year, one of its best starts ever. The 1994 team started the year 31-0 and moved to 41-1 before losing a second game, the best in UA history. The two official games in one week marked a lull in UA's season. It had played in six tournaments and had one three-game series in each preceding week of the year.
The Rankings
UA held on to the No. 1 ranking last week, giving it the top spot in the NFCA poll at least once every year since 1993. Arizona was ranked No. 2 in the preseason NFCA poll, and No. 3 in the ESPN/USA Softball poll. Feb. 11: 2/3. Feb. 18: 2/3. Feb. 25: 2/2. March 3: 2/2. March 10: 2/2. March 17: 1/1. March 24: 1/1. UA has been ranked steadily since 1988 by the NFCA.
Players of the Week
Pitcher Alicia Hollowell earned the Pac-10 weekly honor four times this year - Feb. 24, March 2, March 9 and March 22. She also was USA Softball National Player of the Week March 22 after five victories at the Kia Klassic. Outfielder Autumn Champion won league Player of the Week honors Feb. 17 and Wendy Allen won Feb. 24. Those are the 88th honors for UA, and ninth for Hollowell.
Wildcat Softball Notes
...Reality check arrives this week. Last year UA hit .303 in 21 Pac-10 games. The Cats take a .357 mark into the weekend, but now face the likes of Washington's Tia Bollinger or Ashley Boek - who combined to beat UA in Fullerton -- and UCLA's Keira Goerl (15-0, 0.39) and Lisa Dodd (10-1, 0.48), etc. The hits won't come as easily in the next six weeks of league action... Of course, all league teams were ranked last week and that's likely this time around, too... ...Alicia Hollowell has a live streak of 21 and two-thirds scoreless innings pitched entering the weekend. She won her second game in relief Sunday, pitching to 10 batters and striking out nine. She has allowed only one run in the past 28 and two-thirds innings pitched... Her season ERA is at 0.52 and she has 302 strikeouts in 149 innings pitched - 14.2 per seven innings. That's the fourth-best season total in UA history. She's 92 K shy of the school record she set last year with 394 in 297 innings... her 23-0 record is six victories short of reaching the UA season Top 15 chart - atop which she sits with her 40-5 mark in 2003... With 63 career victories she already has won more games than all but six Wildcat All-Americans... She has struck out 10 or more 17 times this year, including a school-record 20 in a perfect game against Indiana... She has 17 or more K four times... ...Arizona has a team fielding percentage (.972) that's better than five of the six UA clubs that won NCAA championships. The 2001 titlists set the school record with a .981 mark, the third best in NCAA history... UA led the nation last year with a .976 mark...The Cats have only three errors by its outfield and one by catcher Mackenzie Vandergeest... ...The Cats continue to steal bases, with seven last week, pushing the season total to 103 in 117 attempts. That figure is the seventh best season total in UA's 23 seasons of Division I ball... The record is 136 by the 1998 team. Freshman leadoff hitter Caitlin Lowe leads the way with 38 thefts in 39 tries, already the sixth-best season total in Wildcat history. Ten more moves her past Lauren Bauer (38 in 2000 and in 2001), Vivian Holm (41 in 1990) , Bauer (43 in 1997) and Alison McCutcheon (47 in 1997) into the No. 3 spot... Autumn Champion is behind Lowe with 22 SB in 25 tries... ...Champion and Lowe are contending for the team batting lead, with Champion back on top the past two weeks, now at .500... She was a first-team All-America pick as a freshman in 2003 when she hit .434... Lowe is hitting .482 and leads the team with 55 hits, 10 for extra bases...Lowe has a marvelous runs:hits ratio of 1:1. She's scored 55 times... ...Three-hole hitter Wendy Allen continues to lead the team in runs batted in, with 53, plus has the best slugging percentage at .775... She could reach a hallowed run-production list - the season top 10 chart - with continued success. Every UA player on the list earned first-team All-America honors those seasons. No. 10: Leah Braatz with 78 RBI in 1997... Odds & Ends... Arizona has a nice edge in scoring - 277 runs to 42 by opponents... UA set a school record with seven home runs against Boston University this year... Vandergeest slugged her second grand slam of the year against No. 7 Oklahoma two weeks ago. She's No. 4 in UA history with 55 career blasts... Jackie Coburn, a junior, is one yard-ball shy of reaching the No. 10 spot with 40... Lowe and Champion have two or more hits in 16 different games, but freshman shortstop Kristie Fox is picking up the pace with 12 two-or-mores... UA has trailed in only five games this year - vs. Missouri, Stanford, Georgia, Mississippi and Washington... ...Arizona has three no-hitters this year - two by Alicia Hollowell (perfect game against Indiana, against Missouri) and one by Leslie Wolfe against Dayton... The Cats have 19 shutouts, led by Hollowell with 10 solo and three combined, three by Wendy Allen (plus one combined) and two by Wolfe (plus four combined)...Three players have been named to the 'watch list' for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award -- Hollowell, Vandergeest and Lowe...

A New Approach to Strategic ControlHallin, Carina Antonia; Andersen, Torben J.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent advances within the dynamic capabilities view emphasize the "sensing" of employees as an important part of the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities: By putting in place organizational processes that mobilize and exploit information gathered by individual employees from their operating environment, firms can update insights about performance outcomes and improve strategic decision-making. We test empirically the extent to which firms can ascertain performance outcomes by drawing on employee knowledge. Our empirical setting is the Scandinavian hospitality sector with respondents among frontline service employees. Using a time series approach, we show that employee respondents (collectively) assess medium-term organizational performance better than management and the financial models available to them.

The Sensing of Frontline Employees Against Executive ExpectationsHallin, Carina Antonia; Andersen, Torben J.; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The literature suggests that important strategic initiatives can derive from employees within the organization as they respond to needs and opportunities observed in daily operations. This seems to indicate that employees have a good sense of the firm's operational capabilities observed through direct interactions with colleagues, customers and partners. Executives make their own judgments about the corporate capabilities from discussions with various managers, other executives and industry specialists. But, the information gathered by executives may be qualitatively different from the conditions sensed by the employees. So, we arranged a contest between operational capabilities assessed by employees and executives and the relationship to subsequent firm performance. Based on more than 400 individual data points collected from two medium-sized organizations over a period of eighteen months, advanced distributed lag time-series analyses show that the sensing of front-line employees (surprisingly) is a better medium-term predictor of organizational performance than executive judgments. These results have implications for the way organizations set up their management information and communication structure. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8471

Strategic Orientations of Internationalizing Firms: A Comparative Analysis of Firms Operating in Technology Intensive and Common Goods IndustriesAndersen, Torben J.; Joshi, Mahesh P. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The strategic orientations of global integration and local responsiveness (the I-R framework) continue to dominate analyses of internationalization strategies and identify the basic strategy typologies of multinational enterprise. Much effort has been devoted to verify the generic strategies established within the original I-R framework but few studies have investigated their implied performance effects. In conformity with the foundations of the I-R framework we characterize the strategic orientations by their implied corporate decision structures and strategy processes and analyze their performance associations in two distinct industrial environments. The evidence from this analysis contradicts predictions in the conventional I-R framework. We explain this conundrum from a resource-based perspective as firms operating in technology intensive environments outperform when they have access to diverse multinational resources whereas firms in common goods businesses gain economies from global product standards.

20 Stats That Explain Why Marketers Still Struggle to Measure Social Media ROI [Data]
- October 11, 2012
- Website Analytics
When it comes to social media, many marketers are still figuring things out as they go. This is especially true in terms of justifying their investment of time and money into social media marketing efforts.
But LinkedIn launched 9 years ago. We've had 8 years to get to know Facebook, and 6 to wrap our heads around Twitter. So why are so many of us still struggling to report on the value of social media? For quite a few reasons, it turns out. We've compiled data from a handful of different recent studies to break apart this question and zero-in on the key challenges social media marketers are struggling overcome. Let's dive in.
Marketers' Social Media Usage & Measurement
1) 84% of B2B marketers use social media in some form. (Source: Aberdeen) Tweet This Stat
2) The majority of marketers (59%) are using social media for 6 hours or more each week. (Source: Social Media Examiner) Tweet This Stat
3) 83% of marketers indicate that social media is important for their business. (Source: Social Media Examiner) Tweet This Stat
4) 53% of social media marketers don't measure their success. (Source: Awareness, Inc.) Tweet This Stat
5) 52% of marketers cite difficulties in accurately measuring ROI as their biggest source of frustration in social marketing. (Source: Adobe) Tweet This Stat
6) 96% measure number of fans and followers, 89% measure traffic, 84% measure mentions, 55% track share of voice, and 51% track sentiment. (Source: Awareness, Inc.) Tweet This Stat
What These Stats Say About the Struggle to Measure Social Media ROI
For one thing, they say that marketers are scrappy. We'll use any tool within reach to assess our effectiveness and help us move from a gut feeling to a proven method. But the reason fan, follower, and traffic volume are at the top of the list has far more to do with ease of measurement than with priority. Social media channels come equipped with a handful of useful metrics to measure reach and engagement, but what's missing is something that ties that activity to a marketer's core business and bottom line. We've identified three core reasons why this is the case:
Reason #1: Lack of an Integrated System
7) By 2013, lead management campaigns integrating 4 or more digital channels are expected to outperform single- or dual-channel campaigns by 300%. (Source: Gartner) Tweet This Stat
8) 60% of businesses do not have an integrated social media strategy. (Source: Satmetrix)

Secrets of Success
Air conditioner is sick.
Thursday, May 03, 2012
Back to black well almost. More of a deep brown at this point. Our air conditioner went out last night. We have fans running now. I called the repair man this morning. He maybe able to come tomorrow if not it'll be Saturday. The humidity is what gets to me not the heat so much. I'm hoping the guy can fix it. I hope it isn't dead. I would like to get a little more out of it.
I didn't sleep well again. I'm very tired. I don't know what to do to get better sleep but some is needed. I go to bed tired. I sleep deeply for about 2 hours then I'm up again. What to do? Sleep just teases me.
We ran lots of errands today. DD was mad at me because I mad her change her shorts. I wasn't going to let her go out in those short shorts of her's . She wear them here at home but not out in public or down the street. House and yard only. Ok the beach would be ok too. That's it.
Grandma said something to her about the shorts she ended up wearing. I decided to let Grandma say something than me. I'm getting tired of doing all the teaching. I need a vacation. Super glad one is coming up.
Fun fact about Honeymuffin: She LOVES air conditioning. LOL!!! Yep, one of my favorite things. Heat in the winter. Air in the summer. How did they manage to get anything done in the summer before air conditioning? I'm using my not sleeping to get stuff done at night when its cooler. So back to work with me.

We need to figure outow to turn you back to yellow! Your trips coming up will help, I hope :)
I know I'm weird but I LOVE humidity. I think it's a consequence of only ever experiencing real heat and humidity when I'm on vacation so I associate humidity with good things :)
I'm sorry you're not sleeping well again :( I wish I had some tips for you. I had a while there when I was having a lot of trouble sleeping (always exhausted, but never sleeping through the night and falling asleep at 7 or 8 at night kind of thing). Thank goodness it seems to have subsided! I know you talked to your Dr about some other stuff, but did you mention your sleepin problems to them?
I think before A/C siestas were way more popular. They still are in really hot places, unless I'm completely off base.
Get some rest, chickadee!

While the 2010 Winter Olympics roar ahead in Vancouver, Canada, it's easy to forget how dramatically the last North American Winter Olympics played out on the white slopes and stunning landscape of Park City, Utah, in 2002. The Utah Olympic Park is still there on a mountainside outside of town, now the U.S. training center for American winter Olympic athletes and one of the best destination bets in winter and summer both
Some of the fun is pricey -- $200 per person to ride in the four-man Olympic bobsled at speeds of up to 80 mph with up to 5 G's of force in the 15 curves. The sleds of course are driven by professionals including Pat Brown, a former Olympian and famous as the Jamaican bobsled team protrayed by John Candy in the movie Cool running (the clownish amateurism of the Jamacian athletes, the slobbish obesity of the Candy character and much of the rest of the story completely fabricated, according to Brown).
In summer, the bobsleds run on wheels and go a mite slower, up to 70 mph and 4 G's. Winter and summer, the public can also ride the world's steepest zipline, the Xtreme Zipline, 1,454 feet down above the Olympic slopes; or the Quicksilver Autoboggan, rocketing down the mountainside on a stainless steel track.
Nobody has to go Xtreme to enjoy the park, of course. Admission is free to the park's Joe Quinney Sports Center, including the Alf Engen Ski Museum, the 2002 Eccles Olympic Winter Games Museum, with a museum shop and theater.
The park's 45-minute guided tours (just $7 per person for adults with price breaks for the young and old, families and groups) are often guided by former Olympic athletes who know what they're talking about and have plenty of illuminating "war stories" to share. Visitors are bused to interesing points on the tour, where they get out to take a closer look, at the top of the bobsled, luge and skeleton track, for example, fastest on Earth until the 2010 Olympic track in Vancouver (which only beats it by a second or two anyway).
The tour visits the giddy heights at the top of the world's highest Nordic ski jumps and the bottom of the freestyle aerial jumps, and at all of these points visitors may see athletes in training for Olympics and other compeitions. In summer, for example, the Nordic ski jumps are still busy, with athletes skiing and landing on slopes of synthetic material suffused with running water. The bobsled, luge and skeletons used for training in summer run on wheels. And the aerial freestylists end their flight in a pool of water.
Frestyle aerial jumping was once banned from the Olympics because of all the hideous spinal and other injuries that can happen when the athletes soar tumbling and spinning up to 60 feet in the air before slamming down on the slope. Now it's back, thanks to the ability to train by landing in a pools like the 750,000-gallon splash pool at the bottom of the freestyle jumps at the Utah Olympic Park.
It's hit or miss whether visitors get to watch the awe-inspiring sight of these athletes in training, but in summer the public can make sure to see a good show by attending the Flying Ace All-Stars Freesyle Show on Saturdays.
Best of all, the Utah Olympic Park is just one of the attractions in one of the nation's most scenic venues. Park City itself, home to the famous Sundance Film Festival when celebrities swarm like cockroaches, is an old mining town with quaint and narrow streets lined by 19th Century buildings. The historic streets today are gussied up to an unearthly level of old-western charm, fine dining and fancy shopping.
And of course, there is the skiing. When people talk about winter fun in Park City, Utah, they're really talking about a tight cluster of 11 ski resorts within one hour's drive by car -- or by the regular-running buses from the airport -- from Salt Lake City up into the Wasatch Mountains.
Park City is especially congenial for folks from the Denver area, since it's at most a 7-hour drive, up to I-80 and along the bottom of Wyoming, so Coloradans don't have to suffer the hell of winter holiday air travel. And they can bring along a lot more junk than on a plane.
Skiiers and snowboarders come here for the famous "Champagne Powder" snow of this dry air environment, where the westerly winds winds come up the mountains from the Great Salt Lake desert basin. There's cross country skiing, huge tubing hills and plenty of other winter fun.
Summer may be an even better time to visit Park City, especially for those who don't care that much for snow and winter sports. Even at the Utah Olympic Park, it's a lot more fun riding the Xtreme Zipline when the wind isn't driving snow in one's face.
Summer lodgings, for one thing, can drop as much as 75 percent from the winter peak prices. Visitors can still ride the ski lifts in summer for the views and mountain-top hiking, or just the pleasant experience of hiking downhill and not up. At three of the ski areas -- Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and The Canyons Resort -- mountain bikers can take their bikes up the lift with them for a one-way downhill ride or a selection of high-altitude biking trails
Park City knows how to provide plenty of events for summer as well as winter visitors, with bike races or cross-country runs nearly every weekend and relentless festivals and cultural events.
Utah has come along way from its alcohol-prohibiting past, a development owing much, some say, to the cries of outrage from European and other visitors to the 2002 Winter Olympics. People driving from Denver no longer have to stop in Wyoming on the way to load up on beer and wine and booze.
If one is in Park City's restaurants scanning the beers on the menu, however, it's a good idea to ask which are alcohol-weeak 3.2 beer and which are real beer. People are often surprised when they order a familiar beer and find it's watered down. Of course, up there in the mountains, it's always good for visitors from sea level to take in plenty of extra water.

Curt Ramm, Dan Moretti, Bill Cunliffe: Tired Corn
Tired Corn
Curt Ramm (trumpet), Bill Cunliffe (piano, organ, electric piano), and Dan Moretti (tenor sax, soprano sax)
Foundations (Foundations Jazz Records)
Curt Ramm (trumpet), Bill Cunliffe (piano, organ, electric piano), Dan Moretti (tenor sax, soprano sax),
Marty Ballou (acoustic and electric basses), Marty Richards (drums).
Composed by Curt Ramm and Bill Cunliffe.
Recorded: Unknown
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
Sometimes, it's all about attitude. "Tired Corn" has that, a cocksure strut the sets a late-night tempo. Richards and Ballou form a tight rhythm formation, as Richards sets forth a shuffling beat he decorates with cymbal clouds and Ballou's strut is slow and sure. The other attractive contrast going on in this song is between the clear, acid tone of Ramm's trumpet and the cozy layer of soul from Cunliffe's Rhodes. Moretti makes his tenor sing the blues over the same electric piano, and before you know it, Cunliffe himself steps out front and making a few probing chords that peaks outside but never quite goes out the door.
Good performances all around (especially Richards' propulsive drumming), but the main appeal lies in the tone of the proceedings. Sometimes, it's all about attitude.

'Doctor Who' is infamous for sexy ladies (ESPECIALLY AMY POND!) that the Doc keeps around as "companions". So I figure this would be the best ring for the Doctor to give to his lovely ladies. Don't ya think? Fashioned to look like the TARDIS police box, Etsy jeweler CsCharms of Montreal, Canada has these awesome rings available for sale. Made of tibetan silver (similar to pewter), the charm measures at one inch tall and features an adjustable ring band. Considering the quality of the ring, it's a steal at less than $10USD. For those of you that don't really like rings (unless its a Green Lantern power ring), CsCharms will have more jewelery available in the near future such as necklaces, cuff links, brooches, and earrings of the same TARDIS charm. I would buy ten of these rings for each of Karen Gillen's (Amy Pond) lovely fingers. Did that just come off a bit creepy? sigh.
Where to buy: CcCharms Etsy shop

Twitch released its broadcast schedule Monday for E3. In the process, the game-centric video-streaming site also gave everyone a rough estimate of how many new games will be announced for the PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PS3 and PS Vita. This is just a minimum number of new games that will be announced from each though as this is only what is being shown via Twitch, there will likely be more.
The streaming will begin the morning on Monday, June 9 with Microsoft's Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing and continue throughout the week until the convention ends Thursday afternoon. Microsoft will show "Sunset Overdrive," "Killer Instinct: Season Two," "Fable Legends" and "Project Spark" but there are three games listed on Twitch's schedule as "Unannounced" and one as "TBD."
One of those four unnamed games is surely the just revealed "Forza Horizon 2" while another is likely the "Halo 2" HD remake or the "Master Chief Collection" HD remake. That means there will be at least two new and unexpected exclusives for the Xbox One announced during the show.
On the Playstation side of the ledger, there are only two unannounced exclusives listed on the Twitch schedule. One is a PS4 and PS3 title while the other is a PS4 and PS Vita digital title. Go ahead and start placing your bets on if the PS4 and PS3 title is the long-awaited "The Last Guardian."
Those won't be the only titles at E3 for Sony, however. "Uncharted 4," "Driveclub" and "The Order: 1886" will be joined by Sony Santa Monica's recently announced "Hohokum," "Planetside 2: Playstation 4 Edition," "Helldivers" and "H1Z1."
As for Nintendo, there are four unannounced titles listed with no indication which are for the Wii U and which are for the Nintendo 3DS. "The Legend of Zelda" for the Wii U is not listed so that's always a possibility with one of the four games.
Outside of that, the only Nintendo event scheduled to be shown on Twitch is the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. However, the company will have its own streaming events available all through the convention week.
Many of the publishers and developers attending the show also have unannounced titles listed in the Twitch screen but don't get too excited about the Bethesda Softworks one. That will be the recently revealed "Battlecry" free-to-play game. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has two unannounced games to show along with "The Crew," "The Division" and "Far Cry 4." Electronic Arts has only one new game to show and Warner Bros. Interactive has two.

This Saturday January 16. 2010, join Blended Events at J Lounge Downtown for an evening of turning wine into water.
The First Annual 'A Winter Wine Affair' that will take place at J Lounge tomorrow evening is a wine and cheese tasting event that will benefit the Wine to Water charity organization that was founded in 2004. The charity, founded by Doc Hendley, focuses on bringing clean water to the 2.6 billion people in developing countries that do not have access to sanitary water and living conditions. Wine to Water raises money and awareness through national wine-tasting events and will present an array of wine to sip throughout the tasting.
Joe Park of Blended Events believes this event will not only bring clean water systems to those in need, but will also bring Downtowners together in the spirit of giving.
J Lounge-1119 S Olive St, LA, CA 90015
Tasting beings at 9pm
