Talk me down, I'm ready to murder my NWZ-S544 / S545
Very frustrated. So, I had two portable electronic doohickeys, the iplod touch and a sansa fuze. I love the iplod for everything but actually playing music. Itunes if of the dev.null and I hate the way the plod organizes stuff. I want my mp3 player to be simple and work and fit nicely in an armband case for the gym and the fuze was beautiful for that. There were a few rough spots, some room for improvement but overall, a really solid offering.
My fuze died and I got a replacement. Two months in it disappears and now I'm left mp3-less. I go to the Buy More and they tell me the old fuze with the wheel is discontinued. Oh, here's the new version. I picked it up on the strength of my previous experience. What a mistake. The Fuze+ is a stunning disappointment. They got rid of everything that was good about the previous model and made it worse.
So after scouring the local stores I settle upon getting a Sony S series. I wanted to get something local so I could return it if there were problems.
I read the reviews, it had the least complaints out of any of the other players I could find and the S series did support audiobooks.
But now I see it's only the old S series. The new one, the one I have, Sony took away support for audiobooks and podcasts! No more bookmarking!
Seriously, WTF? Are they taking hints from the Sansa people or something? One of the things removed from the Fuze+ was folder browsing. I don't want the player to guess how I have my music organized, I want it to pay attention to the goddamn folder I put it in. Sony has folder browsing but they screwed up audiobook support. Has any of this been fixed in a firmware patch? Are there any workarounds?

put the hammer down..
what exactly is 'Audiobook support' ? just starting where you left off?
on my s745 it has a podcasts folder. which acts in the same way and i use that for my podcasts.
guess it was an included feature of this model. trying to check out the sony site for the S5XX but the site seems to be down or slow or something, maybe coz of my net connection.
No podcast folder, that's the problem. Present in last year's S model, missing from this year's model because the shinigami at Sony and cruel and capricious.
I'd read about that folder and assumed that's how I'd be using my S model. looked all over for it, couldn't find it, hit the forums and saw it was removed. Why, Sony, why? Why take away something that was working? ARGH. The player does everything else I need. Do I really need to have a separate player for audiobooks only? It'll remember the spot on a book track only if I don't move to any other track like listening to music or whatever -- move it and lose it. Seriously, lame.
I do have a second Sony player that I use for podcasts and audiobooks, but that's because of space. My current 8GB player didn't have enough space for all of my music when combined with my podcasts and audiobooks.

Well, they took that feature out of this player. I'm also surprised that the fast forward function doesn't behave like virtually every other player over the last ten years. You hold down FF. The longer you do so, the faster it moves so you can quickly skim through large files. Not so with this player!
What's also completely frustrating, the back and left buttons are right next to each other and get depressed simultaneously when in an armband. Therefore trying to move back in a track risks jumping up to the upper level in the file hierarchy and, if you try to navigate back to the file rather than stopping and restarting the player, you run the risk of opening the wrong file and thus losing your spot.
I need to setup a new site, anythingbutanything.com. Whatever the shortcomings of the ipod and Apple's totalitarian wish to control the universe, the other players have their own shortcomings equally as infuriating.
Can only speak about the FF/REW thing.
Yes, if like the Sony E series, this kinda sucks. To FF/REW very fast, you must first PAUSE the player and then hit and hold FF/REW.
Simple FF/REW is quite slow, but does provide audible clues - the PAUSE-FF/REW does not.

^ they work just fine, don't get me wrong. Both are useful, especially the slower one with audible clues for those who like audiobooks, need that kind of thing, etc...
I could do without having to first PAUSE the player though to scan quickly...

The buttons on my current Sony player are vastly better (both in arrangement and blind use) than those on the current generation of Sony players. It is one of the main reasons I haven't upgraded my Sony player to a current version with more memory.
On the issue of the two-modes of FF/REW, I haven't found it much of an issue. The two speeds (about 5 seconds per second when playing and about 1 minute per second when paused) are handy when dealing with long audio files, such as many podcasts (I have a few that are more than 3 hours long).

Last edited by CDMP3PlayerFan; 12-30-2010 at 12:12 AM. Reason: Clarification
From what I'm reading on this thread, I have helped my husband pick the wrong MP3 for his Christmas present. When looking at the store, we were told that this particular MP3...Sony S544...would work with audio books. My husband listens to audio books constantly and has hundreds of them. Therefore, we chose this player and since Christmas I've read and re-read everything I can find on line and in the manual that came with the player on how to put the audio book CDs onto my computer. I have iTunes and Media Player. I was able to import the CDs into MP3 format, but when I transferred the files to the player, they didn't stay in order and I can't find any way of telling the player to sort them in order. It plays the books well, but not in the right order. It's been very frustrating and I'm thinking I've wasted $100 on this player. We don't want to listen to music, just the books. Is there any place I can find some help for this problem? I'm guessing I need some way to sort the files within the audio book. Oh yes, the books seem to end up under Music instead of the Other category. Any help would be most appreciated.
On the issue of playing tracks in order, one possible reason the tracks don't play in order is that the track number is missing from the ID3 tag. You can verify that the track number is/is not in the ID3 tag by doing the following:
- In Windows Media Player the track number should be listed when you go to the library view, if the track number is there.
- In iTunes, you select the song, right click on it, and select "Get Info" from the pop up menu. The Info tab in window will show you the track number for the track.
If the track numbers are missing, you can add them automatically with a program called "MP3Tag." With this program, you can select a group of files and have it auto number them in sequence.
Based on my experience with my own player, the tracks will play in order as long as: (1) they all are in the same album, (2) the files have track numbers in the correct order, and (3) you select an album to play (when you select songs it plays them in alphanumeric order).
What I've done with my own audiobooks to avoid problems are the following:
- I number all of the tracks in the audiobook sequentially rather than restarting the numbering with each new CD.
- After renumbering the tracks, I change the album name to the same name for all of the tracks.
- I name the individual tracks in a manner so that they will play in order even without the track numbers.
To illustrate the above, I have an audiobook of the comic book miniseries "Infinite Crisis." It has a total of 13 CDs and is divided into two parts. I've done the following:
- I've named album for the first part "Infinite Crisis Part 1" and the album for the second part "Infinite Crisis Part 2."
- The tracks are numbered sequentially (going from 1 to 74 for the first part and 1 to 69 for the second part).
- The tracks are named beginning with "IC Part A01" for the first track in the first part and "IC Part B69" for the last track in the second part.
I could have used one album name for the entire audiobook, but due to the clear break between the two parts it seemed appropriate to leave it in two parts.
Sorry to be a bit wordy, but I hope this helps.

Thank you CDMP3PlayerFan... I had not found this Get Info area and it helps. In the Info window I'm showing:
Name.....Chapter 1a
Artist.....J.K. Rowling
Album Artist....
Album....Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [Disc 1]
Composer....Jim Dale
Genre....Spoken & Audio
then there's a little check box...Part of a compilation (not checked) should it be?
I didn't see anything mentioning IDtag. It does show track 1 of 17 and disc 1 of 17 and there's a space called BPM with nothing showing.
I'll go through my other books now and make sure all the spaces are filled in properly, but before I do, is there anything else I should add or change in this Info area? I'd rather do all the changes at once, rather than go back in several times. I consider myself computer literate, as I've used them for many many years; but I've never used a MP3 player so this is all new to me. Thanks.

Where it says "spoken & audio" you want "Audiobook"
Don't check the compilation thing.

If you have problems, try MSC mode, then google.com
I needed to take a break from what I was doing, so I sat and re-input the information for the book I was working with. Took a bit of doing, but I got it done and transferred it to the MP3 player. It won't play in order under the Music feature, but if I go to Playlists, it will show and play in order! Hallelujah! Thank you so much for the information on how to fix this and get it to work. Now, if I hadn't already packed all the audio books in boxes, I'd input some more. Now I'll have to wait till after the move to do the books. Thank you again!

On the subject of ID3 tags:
The ID3 tags are part of an MP3 file that contains information about the song. The following are just of the items that they can contain: song title, artist, album, album artist, genre, and album art. The following thread can provide you with more information on ID3 tags:http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10174
When I load files on my player, it reads the information on each song from its ID3 to create the player's library (its internal database). If information on a song is incorrect, I correct the ID3 tag and then reload the song on my player.
As far as what information is needed in the ID3 tag, it depends on the user and how he/she will use the MP3s. Also, many music management programs will automatically add tags, even if they contain no information. Some will format the information differently. An example is with the track number tag, some will format it as "1/17", others as "01", and still others as just "1". Some programs (such as MediaMonkey, which I use) will also allow to create and name a few custom tags of your own.
Some of my MP3s have been passed through many programs and each of them added tags (such as their version of ratings and other tags unique to them). When I examined the files with MP3Tag (which allows to see all of the ID3 tags contained in the file), I found a large number of old and unneeded tags. I was able to clean them out.
I hope this helps.

Looking at the above tags, you may want to change the name from "Chapter 1a" to "Chapter 01a" to ensure that the tracks sort in the correct order.
I figured this problem out and have put in the number of 0's needed to keep it in numerical order.

The following thread can provide you with more information on ID3 tags:http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10174
Okay, I read through this thread and followed some of the links there and read them. Then I went into iTunes and played around with the options and the only thing I could find that showed any type of ID was "kind" and it just says MP3 Audio File or AAC Audio File. Nothing that gave any specific tag numbers like ID3v1, etc. Is this necessary? Do I need one of those tag programs? Would I use that instead of iTunes or in conjunction? I can tell I've got a lot of learning to do.
I did find the track number tag and it shows "1/17" style. I'm going to do another book today and see if I can set it up and have it work on the MP3 Player. Setting up the information takes hours for a large book. I've been doing file by file....one at a time. I can't find a place to let me do a "fill down" like on the Artist or Album since they are all the same. I can see that doing the hundreds of books my husband has is going to take me some time.
Thanks for being so helpful.
I did a check in iTunes and it is possible to change the ID3 tag version for a file or a range of files. Just right click on a file and select "Convert ID3 tags..." Check "ID3 Tag version:" and select the version. I've found that Version 2.3 works best with my player.
Based on my reading, the version of the ID3 tag is important because some players can have issues with some versions of the ID3 tag. Also, some versions of the ID3 tag have limitations.
On the mass update of files, if you are using iTunes you can to a mass update of information of a number of files at the same time. Just do the following:
- Click on the first file you want to update.
-- If you want to update all of the listed items, hit Control-A. All of the listed files will be selected.
-- If you want to pick a range of files, hold the shift button and click on the last file you want to select. All of the files between the first and last will also be selected.
-- If you want to choose various items that are not together, hold the Control key while selecting the files. Each file you click on will be selected.
- Right click on one of the selected files and select "Get Info" from the pop up menu. This will bring up a screen that will allow you to update all of the selected items at once.
At this point, from this screen you can update all of the selected items.
As far as updating a series of items (such as updating a series of track numbers), one way to do it is to edit the information on the first file and then click on the "Next" button at the bottom of the window. It will update the change you made, and move on to the next item. The cursor will remain in the same place in the new file.
As far as using multiple programs, my own experience is that it is best to use only one program with your files. I use MediaMonkey to manage my music and it is the only program that I allow to access those files. Using two or more programs to access the same files can lead to tagging problems (such as if two programs tag the same information in different ways).

Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
Our Town Act Two Summary
- The Stage Manager informs us that three years have passed. He tells us what can happen in three years: babies start to talk, parents grow old, etc.
- He tells us that almost everyone in the world gets married.
- He gives us some handy tools for literary analysis: the first act is apparently called "Daily Life." The second act is called "Love and Marriage."
- Let's delve in.
- Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Webb prepare breakfast.
- Howie Newsome delivers milk to Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Webb.
- Si Crowell, Joe Crowell's brother, delivers newspapers. Howie and Si discuss what a pity it is that George is quitting baseball.
- Dr. Gibbs comes down for breakfast. He and his wife reminisce about their own wedding day jitters.
- George comes downstairs. He's going next door to see Emily. His mom warns him about the rain, so he comes back to put on some overshoes.
- Mrs. Webb almost bars George from entering the house, arguing that the groom mustn't see the bride before the wedding. Emily isn't even awake yet.
- Mrs. Webb invites George to stay and have coffee with Mr. Webb. Mrs. Webb goes upstairs to prevent Emily from seeing George by accident.
- Mr. Webb and George engage in some man-talk, meaning that Mr. Webb helps George through the wedding day nervousness.
- Mr. Webb then asks George about chickens.
- Mrs. Webb comes back downstairs. Emily wants George to leave so she can eat breakfast.
- The Stage Manager uses his time travel trick and takes us back to the day that George realizes Emily should be his wife.
- And vice versa.
- The Stage Manager takes us to the last day of school.
- George is carrying Emily's books for her. He confronts her about her strange behavior: she's been acting differently around him.
- After some flustered hemming and hawing, Emily tells George that he's become self-absorbed, not even stopping to talk to people anymore. Worried that she's upset him but determined to say the truth, Emily tears up.
- George takes Emily to Morgan's drugstore, where the Stage Manager adopts the role of Mr. Morgan.
- George orders two strawberry ice-cream sodas. He asks Emily to write to him if he goes away to State Agriculture College the next year. She agrees.
- George decides that he won't go away to college. He wants to stay with Emily. He confesses that he's been noticing her a while.
- The two reveal their mutual attraction.
- George doesn't have any money on him. Oops. He asks Mr. Morgan if he can return with the money.
- Mr. Morgan says he'll trust him ten years.
- The Stage Manager returns us to the day of the wedding. He now plays the role of the minister.
- Mrs. Webb cries and walks into place. George's baseball friends come and embarrass him.
- Nervous, George tells his mom that he doesn't want to grow old. Then he comes to his senses. He insists that he and Emily will go to his mom's for dinner every week.
- Emily runs down and has her freak-out moment of not wanting to grow up. Mr. Webb leads Emily and George to the altar.
- The ceremony starts. Mrs. Soames is a particularly vocal wedding spectator.
- After the couple kisses, all the characters freeze. The Stage Manager is all blasé and says that weddings are never interesting.
- The happy newlyweds run down the aisle. The Stage Manager calls for an intermission.

Just who is best QB fit for Miami Dolphins?
It's no secret the most hotly-contested topic in Miami Dolphins camp this offseason has been which high-profile quarterback Jeff Ireland should break the bank on. But depending who you ask, including our own Omar Kelly and our new Dolphins beat reporter Izzy Gould, who covered the Crimson Tide, you will get a far different answer. Omar and Izzy also discuss how much the University of Alabama's draft prospects can help this franchise in the first offseason installment of X's and Omar. See special video report below:

"I hear how they're so caring for the poor and so forth," Hatch said in remarks on the Senate floor Wednesday, in reference to Democrats. "The poor need jobs! And they also need to share some of the responsibility."
Hatch's comments were aimed at a motion that passed 74 to 22 to start debating a non-binding resolution that says millionaires and billionaires should play a more meaningful role in reducing the nation's debt.
Just one Democrat, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), voted against having the debate. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who had previously called the resolution "rather pathetic," nevertheless voted to move ahead on it.
But it was Hatch whose remarks Wednesday raised the idea that the wealthy are already doing too much, even as the nation's effective tax rates are at modern lows since the Bush administration slashed rates in 2001 and 2003. In his view, it seems, the middle class and poor should be picking up the slack.
"The top 1 percent of the so-called wealthy pay 38 percent of all income tax. The top 10 percent are paying 70 percent of all income tax," Hatch said. "The top 50 percent pay somewhere near 98 percent of all income taxes. 51 percent don't pay anything," Hatch said, suggesting the payroll taxes that the poor and middle classes pay towards Social Security yields them an especially generous benefit.
"Democrats say they [the 51 percent] pay payroll taxes. Well, everybody does that because that's Social Security. They pay about one-third of what they're going to take out over the years in social security," Hatch railed. "Obamacare -- a family of four earning over $80,000 a year -- gets subsidies. Think about that. That's what we call the poor?"
Hatch hedged that the the poorest of the poor shouldn't have to pay taxes. But he was clear that people who qualify for subsidies because they can't afford things like health care should dig deeper.
"Now, we don't want the really poor people who are in poverty to have to pay income taxes," he said. "But 51% of all households. And that's going up, by the way, because of our friend down in the White House and his allies."

ARMONK, N.Y. — Before you focus on the headline, let me ask you a few other questions:
- Why did you enter the Laundromat business?
- How much money did you invest?
- What was your expected rate of return on your initial Laundromat investment (ROI)?
Now let me pose some tougher questions:
- Are you still making the same rate of ROI?
- Should you expect the same rate of ROI?
- What has changed from when you acquired your Laundromat?
Raising your vend prices requires careful consideration and some analytical methodology. In following articles, I will detail how I determine if it's time to raise prices. Business 101 says that gross income minus your expenses equals your profit or loss. Let's look at the income-and-expense side of operating a Laundromat. Gross income is the amount of money that ends up in the moneyboxes. Currently, with high unemployment, a portion of the immigrant population has the choice of being unemployed here or unemployed in their home country. Some illegals have decided to go home, which has reduced our pool of customers and reduced our income. This loss may be slightly tempered by the increase in customers who own their own washers and dryers but have decided to forego replacing or repairing this equipment. The bottom line is that Laundromat income has dropped during the recession. How then do you generate the desired financial return?FOUR CONCERNS Laundromat expenses are increasing all the time. The four largest expenses are labor, lease, note and utilities. Labor expenses have been fairly stable, and are probably equal to or have even lagged when compared to inflation. Lease expenses are compounded expenses where the increases are on top of last year's increases. Lease expenses (especially if they include property taxes) never go down. Note payments, on the other hand, are the cost of equipment loans (or acquiring the business) and are usually the same month to month. Utility expenses have four components: electricity, gas, water and sewer. The cost of electricity is fairly stable and does not vary much in the marketplace. The cost of electricity is somewhat regulated by the local public- service commission. These rates are also tied to the cost of energy. More and more electrical power plants are using natural gas to generate electricity, thus creating an increased demand for natural gas. More demand equals higher prices. Natural gas is typically the largest component of a store's utility bill. Natural gas is widely deregulated, and a large number of Laundromats have been "burned" by locking in natural-gas prices at a high rate with energy companies. Some of us have been purchasing deregulated gas at a price above an industry standard (such as the Henry Hub price). Right now, natural-gas prices are historically low. Gas prices spiked during 2005 and 2006. Once the economy turns around, the cost of all energy sources will go up, especially natural gas. Again, it's a simple case of supply and demand. Water and sewer rates have increased dramatically during the recent years and show no signs of leveling off. It is commonly more expense to dispose of a gallon of water than to buy the same amount. Financing sewer plants and increased demand for improved water quality have led to skyrocketing sewer costs. Laundromat expenses increase every year. Armed with this information, Part 2 of this article will focus on Laundromat pricing vs. inflation and what we are really selling.Check back Wednesday, Feb. 2, for Part 2 of this story.

On April 8th, Boot Camp Digital will present Facebook Marketing 101 (http://bootcampdigital.com/facebook-marketing/) and teach a business-focused introduction to the world's largest social network. The Cincinnati social media training company is making this course available for live and on-demand viewing.
In 2004 Facebook began as a small university-only social network with no potential for business use. Today, Facebook is available to everyone and resides as the primary social network for connecting and staying up to date with friends and family, now hosting over 1.26 billion profiles.
Businesses have the unique opportunity on Facebook to connect with nearly their entire audience, and most of the world, on one platform. Even with the emergence of countless other social networks like Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+, Facebook remains the largest and most frequented network online.
Boot Camp Digital's Facebook Marketing 101 training is a business' introduction to the world's first and largest social network. Learn all the ins and outs of the website where more than 40% of Americans spend a portion of their day. Take advantage of the enormous audience and learn Boot Camp Digital's best Facebook strategies to help grow your business.
Boot Camp Digital will take you through the basics of Facebook marketing for businesses and get you started on the road to results. You'll learn exactly how to leverage your Facebook page to engage your current audience and create an even larger following. Businesses not currently on Facebook, or using Facebook improperly, are missing huge opportunities to develop a larger audience and grow their business through social media.
"If Facebook marketing isn't part of your social media strategy, you're missing out on an immense audience" says Krista Neher, CEO of Boot Camp Digital. "Because Facebook is by far the largest social network, it can' the ignored by businesses. There's tons of opportunity for local, startup, and large businesses on Facebook and I'm excited to share with them my best strategies."
Lead trainer Krista Neher is a professional social media speaker, an internationally sought after social media trainer, a bestselling author and an experienced social media educator. Neher has successfully used social media to grow her business since 2007. She speaks professionally about the benefits of Facebook marketing and is sharing her top strategies during Boot Camp Digital's Facebook Marketing 101 training program.
The Facebook Marketing Training will take place April 8th at 1pm EST. The training can be accessed online either streamed live on April 8th or on-demand after the live training. Participants can reserve their seat today: http://bootcampdigital.com/facebook-marketing/

What is a simple description of a fundamental domain of $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ acted on by $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb Z)$?
$\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ is the group of all real invertible matrices with matrix multiplication, $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb Z)$ the group of all matrices with integer entries, whose inverses also have integer entries, with matrix multiplication. $h \in \operatorname{GL}(n, \mathbb Z) \subset \operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ acts on $g \in \operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ by letting $h\cdot g := hg$
A fundamental domain $F$ is a subset of $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ such that for any $x$ in $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ there is exactly one $h$ in $\operatorname{GL}(n, \mathbb Z)$ such that $hx \in F$. I'm looking for an as clean as possible description of some $F$ in terms of the matrix entries. Clearly $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb R)$ can be replaced with any set of (possibly not invertible) matrices with $n$ rows (possibly with few or more than n columns). The case with one column and $n=2$ is not too different from finding a fundamental domain of the upper half plane with respect to Möbius transformations. Also, $\operatorname{GL}$ could have been replaced with $\operatorname{SL}$.
This appears as a very basic question to me, and if it turns out I'm ignorant of some useful tools or theorems I will accept pointers to such. In fact this would be even better than a direct answer to the specific question (since I have many related seemingly basic questions), as long as it helps significantly in answering the specific question.

A spirit of unity and warmth passed through Coppin State University's James Weldon Johnson auditiorium Saturday, July 5, 2014 as Keur Khaleyi (pronounced Keer Hah-lay-he) African Dance Company presented its fourth annual recital entitled 'Khaware'. The performances were the culmination of classes taken over the past year by adults, children and youth. The program was dedicated to Babacar N'Diaye, one of the group's mentors and instructors, from Senegal. N'Diaye is currently participating in a summer dance intensive with the Debbie Allen Dance Company in California.
After an introduction by Mistress of Ceremony Tracie Jiggetts (along with baby Truth), the program began with a libation ceremony to demonstrate respect and honor for God and the ancestors who paved the way. Led by Yoruba Priestess Chief Osunremi Aduke, the ceremony provided the start for the highly energetic performance to follow. Next came the African drum call, which included drummers Shakai Von Hendricks (lead drummer), Felicia Flournoy and Ayende Von Hendricks along with visiting artists Amadou Faye and Konate Primus. The drum call, along with the audience members, provided the energy the dancers used to work the attendees into several frenzies.
The dancers were very focused and seemed to enjoy the Senegalese language and dances which they performed. Arrayed in fine and colorful African costumes, produced by SuQuan Diop of Diop Traditional and Karla Diouf, the dancers gyrated their way across the stage to the heartbeat of the drums. The dancers included both adults and children. The members of the adult company are Atiya Cannady, Kamiyah Carver, Sabrina Hudson (apprentice dancer), Morgan Solomon, and Tayamisha Thomas.
The teen group included Jadzia Floyd, Talia Floyd, Marama Sonko and Diarra Von Hendricks. The youth ensemble included Konyel Cottman, Sierra Green and Diallo S. Von Hendricks.
Virtually stealing the show were the children, the youngest of whom is four, who danced their way around in their beautiful African attire. The children were Amira Alston, Jordyn Alston, Dela-Eden Miles, Jasmine Green, and Makaela King.
The Community Class, which also performed, consisted of Akili Brogdon, Rachel Mayo, Nikia Williams, Karla Wynn Diouf and Mama Shakoorah.
Spoken word artist Robert Hardy gave the performance a different flavor as he recited original works to the beat of Master Ayende Von Hendricks.
The program was replete with visiting drummers from the New York area: Sing Sing Rhythm.
The name, Keur Khaleyi, is from the Senegalese language of Wolof and means house of the children or children. The company, founded by Artistic Director Jihan Von Hendricks, has been in existence since 2010 and continues to grow. According to Von Hendricks, the company "supports the community with children and adult classes in the West African dance tradition. Each year we have fundraisers. These fundraisers are to help with funds for our summer showcase that will premier some of Baltimore's talented African dancers and drummers." (Von Hendricks is assisted by her sister, Ayana, as artistic director and make-up artist.)
The group operates from Baltimore's Eubie Blake Cultural Center (www.eubieblake.org), 847 N. Howard Street, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Audience member Gloria Solomon said this was her second Keur Khaleyi concert and she loved it.
Keur Khaleyi's website is www.keurkhaleyi.org.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Jeff Lewis Jenni Pulos lawsuit bares a similarity to Lewis' dispute with another Flipping Out cast member from years earlier: Ryan Brown. Jeff Lewis is suing Jenni Pulos (wedding photos below) claiming that she is allegedly trying to profit on his company. He claims that she is allegedly divulging details about the workings of Jeff Lewis design in her new 2013 book.
But if the accusation of a cast member trying to profit on Lewis sounds familiar, it should. The same accusation heated up the 2009 Flipping Out reunion showdown between Ryan Brown and Jeff Lewis. At the time, Jeff Lewis claimed that Ryan Brown – not through a tell-all-book but rather a website – was trying to steal Jeff's business.
Ryan told Andy Cohen "I had no idea the severity of the accusations and the length to which [Jeff] was going to try to … catch me in some kind of lie."

Jeff told Cohen at the time "I don't have any proof, but I really believe that the intention to take business was there. To repair our friendship, I would need some sort of sincere apology." Lewis shot back with harsh words against his former partner during the Bravo telecast.
At issue was a website that Lewis thought Brown allegedly established to divert business. Jeff called it "professional identity theft" and "false advertising".
Lewis' allegations against Pulos derive from a confidentiality agreement executed between the two. In it, Pulos asserts that she will not divulge nor profit on details of Jeff Lewis design. Pulos has not yet denied the enforceability of that agreement. But in court documents obtained by LALATE, Lewis claims that Pulos' upcoming 2013 creative project – not a website but a book – seeks to allegedly divulge details about Lewis' operations and profit on those operations.
Brown eventually exited Flipping Out. Pulos has yet to file her answer to the Lewis complaint. Her future on Flipping Out has yet to be confirmed by Bravo.

REVIEW: The Heretic Land by Tim Lebbon
by Tim Lebbon
PUBLISHER: Orbit Books
RELEASE DATE: 2 August 2012
FORMAT: Paperback, 408 pages
GENRE: Fantasy
Arrested by the Ald, scholar Bon Ugane and merwoman Leki Borle find themselves on a prison ship bound for the island of Skythe – a barren land and the site of long-ago wars. Warped and ruined by the ancient conflict, survival on the island is tough and its original inhabitants are neither friendly nor entirely still human. But something else waits on the island, a living weapon whose very existence is a heresy. Destroyed many years ago, it silently begins to clutch at life once more. (Goodreads)
REVIEWER: Melanie
The story starts with Bon Ugane and Leki Borle bound for Skythe, as punishment for their crimes. Bon fell foul of the law following the disappearance of his son Venden. Leki and Bon team up to try to survive and find themselves on the run for much of the story. It is perhaps the Slayers who hunted him for at least half the novel that were the scariest and potentially the best developed antagonist in the story.
Throughout the novel we are introduced to a number of characters including Juda who helps to rescue Bon and Leki from the Slayers and of course, Verdun who had gone missing years before and the reason why Bon ended up on the island in the first place. The plot centres on the resurrection of a long dead god Aeon and the history of the Skythians.
This is a very difficult review for me to write as I read this book in a bit of a fugue. I started out thinking this was going to be a gripping fantasy but found the lack of detail, the poorly developed characters and rapidly changing scenes caused me to lose interesting quickly and in the end it got rather tedious.
I wasn't adverse to the overtly religious context as sometimes this can really make a novel but the prose and writing style made this a chore to read. The story lost it for me when we were introduced to Milian Mu where one minute she was killing just about everyone then ended up with a shard of the god Aeon in her and ended up somewhat good. In the following scenes she went from just knowing Bon to being pregnant with his baby. This transition was too swift and with a minimal amount to non-existent background to this change. I wasn't even remotely interested when Venden was exposed to Bon as being alive and later subsumed by Aeon as the backdrop was so fractured that it was almost impossible to garner any empathy for the characters, let alone understanding of what was going on. Every chapter was a challenge to get through and the end result, in my opinion, wasn't worth the effort. Overall, this book was a disappointment.
I started out with THE HERETIC LAND thinking it was going to be gripping fantasy read but I really struggled to finish it. I thought the characters were under developed and the plotline chopped and changed with very little explanation of the world in which the story was set. I was generally quite disappointed with this novel and pure determination got me to the final page rather than any enjoyment for what I was reading.

ORONO, Maine – University of Maine football standout Brian Harvey has been named a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy, given to college football's best scholar-athlete, and was also named a candidate for the organization's National Scholar-Athlete Awards.
Harvey, a senior place kicker from Wayland, Mass., has been a steady force for the Black Bears during his tenure. Among his performances, his 39-yard field goal in overtime beat New Hampshire in 2010 while a 34-yard field goal he made last year with under a minute remaining at James Madison put the game into overtime where the Black Bears won.
Off the field, Harvey received his degree with a double major in marketing and management from Maine in May and is currently pursuing a master's degree in business administration. He is a silver medallion Maine Scholar-Athlete Award winner and was named to the CAA Football All-Academic Team last season.
Harvey and the Black Bears host Villanova on Saturday in Maine's CAA opener at Alfond Stadium. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.

Researchers at Scandinavia's largest research organization, SINTEFF, have been trialling a prototype GPS application to track dementia sufferers living at home, in institutions, and in other forms of shared accommodation facilities. The project has seen more than 50 dementia sufferers using the system for periods of up to a year and according to the researchers, people equipped with it felt safer, had more freedom to move around and enjoyed better quality of life.

Smart floors could soon be part of our smart homes. Scientists in Germany have developed a high-resolution pressure-sensitive floor that can accurately keep track of people and furniture in rooms. Dubbed "Gravity Space," the floor can detect poses, movements and collisions and create a mirror-like inverse projection of the goings-on above. The technology could have a wide range of applications ranging from home security and automation to interactive gaming.Read More
Scientists believe the genes of virus-resistant and long-living wild bats might hold clues to treating cancer and infectious diseases in humans. The theory is that when bats started flying millions of years ago, something changed in their DNA that provides resistance to viruses and helps give them a relatively long life. The researchers hope a better understanding of bat evolution could lead to new treatments for disease and aging in humans. Read More
In a breakthrough that could lead to more efficient and cheaper solar cells, scientists at Sweden's Lund University claim to have identified the ideal diameter for nanowires to convert sunlight into electricity. Read More
U.S. scientists are developing a technique that will target and kill cancer cells while simultaneously treating others in the same sample. Centered on fine-tuning the use of cancer destroying nanobubbles, the research holds promise for treating cancer patients in a way that's far more targeted than chemotherapy.Read More
With recent studies finding that – for the first time – more people now die from obesity-related illnesses like heart attacks and strokes than malnutrition, scientists have been tackling the fat problem. One of the latest breakthroughs in this field comes from the University of Indiana where researchers have found that combining two hormones into a single molecule could lead to improved treatments for medical conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.Read More
Earlier this year, a 58 year-old woman who had lost the use of her limbs was successfully able to drink a cup of coffee by herself using a robotic arm controlled by her thoughts via a brain computer interface (BCI). Now, in a separate study, another woman with longstanding quadriplegia has been able to feed herself a chocolate bar using a mind-controlled, human-like robot arm offering what researchers claim is a level of agility and control approaching that of a human limb Read More
Scientists at The Rockefeller University have found that harnessing proteins from the human immune system can suppress the HIV virus in mice. Potentially, this could lead to a therapeutic approach to treating the virus that does not require a daily application of drugs.Read More
The latest development in the quest for eternal youth concerns that most visible sign of aging – the skin. Scientists at the University of Michigan (U-M) have found that it might be possible to slow the decline of aging tissue by focusing not on the cells but on the stuff that surrounds those cells. By adding more filler to the fiber-filled area around the cells, they were able to make the skin cells of senior citizens act like younger cells again. Read More

Sept. 3, 2011
DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU volleyball team needed just three sets to beat Lamar Saturday in Moody Coliseum, taking their second match of the Doubletree Classic 3-0 (25-22, 25-17, 25-16).
Jessica Oliver led the Mustangs with 10 kills, and Dana Powell added a team-high 15 digs. Kelli Becerra had 36 assists, and Sidney Stewart had 13 digs for SMU.
In the third set, Lamar (1-4) matched the Mustangs (2-4) point for point early on, attempting to extend the match, but the Mustangs broke a 10-10 tie with five-straight points to break it open and never looked back. SMU went on to out-score the Lady Cardinals 10-6 down the stretch to close out the match with a 25-16 set win.
SMU survived a scare in the first set, coming from behind to take an early lead in the match. After SMU started with a 10-7 lead, Lamar battled back to take a 19-17 lead. The Mustangs fought right back, scoring the next four points and never trailed again, winning the set 25-22.
The Mustangs never let Lamar get close in the second set, jumping out to a 9-4 lead. SMU continued to stretch the lead, eventually winning 25-17 to go up two sets heading into the locker room.
SMU finished the game with 39 kills, 40 digs, and five blocks, led by Caroline Daly who blocked four attacks. The Mustangs will wrap up competition in the Doubletree Classic against Alabama tonight at 7 p.m.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Costa Rica, Osa Peninsula, Luna Lodge, travel
"So, this is a road that's on a map?" I kept asking Larry as he swung our car from side to side to miss the massive potholes in a rocky dirt trail down to Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. Larry assured me that this was the stretch we'd traced on the map, the one I had naively calculated would take us about an hour or so. We traveled from Dominical, on the central coast, to the very southern tip of the country (which is the size of West Virginia) in just over five hours. The road grew rockier and sometimes all but disappeared as the jungle grew thicker with muscular vines and birds of paradise flowers. "If where we're going is at the end of this road," my partner Pieter said as a scarlet macaw flew overhead, "this is going to be good."
In travel, as in life, tough roads lead to the best places. Luna Lodge, at the very tip of the Osa Peninsula, is tucked into a hillside overlooking Dulce Bay [CK], in a stretch of primary virgin rainforest that's home to hundreds of rare bird species and four species of monkeys. This is one of the most biodiverse spots left on the planet, a lush web of 13 ecosystems that National Geographic called "the most biologically intense place on earth." It's a paradise.
Lana Wedmore, a native Coloradoan who has been in Costa Rica for 30 years, built Luna Lodge on 60 acres abutting the spectacular Corcovado National Forest 11 years ago. It's the ever-evolving fulfillment of her dream, to build a small lodge where people could come to relax and appreciate what the rainforest has to offer. "We get disconnected, and nature is so healing," Lana said to me yesterday as we sat at a table in the large open-air dining and lounging area overlooking the deep, lush Carate River Valley and the Pacific Ocean beyond. "I built this place to share because I fell in love with the area. But it has to be shared with the right person."
Travelers looking for ecotourism with air conditioning will be disappointed at Luna Lodge. Those looking to immerse themselves in the rainforest's vibrations, hike to year-round waterfalls, enjoy morning yoga overlooking the bay and feast on home-grown mangoes, bananas, avocadoes and pineapples should follow the rough road. (You can take a taxi if you're not lucky enough to have Larry as your friend and driver.) Our domicile for the three nights that we're here is a round little hobbit house built of bamboo canes, with a soaring conical roof made of swita, or thatch. (When Lana built the cabins, swita was abundant on the Osa Peninsula. It became so popular that now it's scarce.) Our deck looks out over dense jungle canopy, a perfect spot for watching the sun over the ocean set before we join guests from the seven other cabins for dinner. Our stone bathtub and shower are completely open to the jungle.
Over New Year's Eve, Lana hosted guests from 14 countries. President Oscar Arias Sanchez and the Minister of Tourism have been here. Her goal is not only to give them an incredible experience but to send them away with lessons about sustainable living. Luna Lodge is powered by a micro-hydro system that is ample but requires some conservation. Guests are asked to be conscientious about energy and water use, especially during the day when the power load is especially high. It's many guests' first encounter with being completely off the grid, and it's a valuable experience. "We could be an example to the world of what sustainable living really means," Lana told me. I can't think of a more perfect place to get educated.

I am having trouble compiling coreutils-8.5 on Solaris 5.10 on the Intel platform using

The brand new campus on the grounds of CSULA has officially made it through the 2013 - 2014 year of art students and plans to graduate the class of 2014 utilizing their new buildings, theaters and architecturally exquisite campus. This offering from the dance department is aptly named: GRATITUDE.
Before the show began, a pre-curtain exhibition titled - THE CROSSING, with choreography by Alexa Kershner, was performed by the class of 2015. The parents were included in the first "environmental" art offering from the dance department. The audience was a part of free form environmental choreography. The student performers utilized the new exterior quad area and adjacent public areas of the campus as a theater in the round of sorts. The new campus has become the setting for so many different forms and mediums of artistic expression by the selected few students who are accepted into this elite student body. The parents were then escorted into the new black box theater, Caroline's LOFT to see the students in their Spring offering from the dance department headed brilliantly by Gina Buntz and the other skilled faculty at LACHSA.
As the lights dim, we all got to see the students perform in the new theater venue for the finest arts high school in Los Angeles; The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. The show is a mixture of dance styles and musical offerings from ballet and modern classics to the most exciting new movements of hip hop and modern technique. The many talented teachers created a fast-paced show that included classes and styles of dance through the eras of time.
I have included the slide show with photos from a brilliant professional photographer; Susan Sheridan who skillfully captured so many amazing images from the show. My most sincere thanks to all the people that made this wonderful show possible.

A Murfreesboro man will be arraigned Tuesday morning after being charged with trying to coerce a material witness in a Jan. 15 double murder investigation, according to a Monday afternoon news release from the Jackson Police Department.
Police said 19-year-old Roddarous Marcus Bond has been charged with attempted coercion of a witness, which is a Class D felony.
According to Tennessee Code Annotated 39-16-507, "A person commits an offense who, by means of coercion, influences or attempts to influence a witness or prospective witness in an official proceeding with intent to influence the witness to: 1.) testify falsely; 2.) withhold any truthful testimony, truthful information, document or thing; or 3.) elude legal process summoning the witness to testify or supply evidence or to be absent from an official proceeding to which the witness has been legally summoned."
Bond, who remained in Madison County Jail Monday night, will be arraigned Tuesday at 8 a.m. in Jackson City Court, via video feed.
Police have said that around 9:30 p.m. Jan. 15, officers were dispatched to an apartment duplex, located at 770 Walker Road. Chermaine Owens was lying in the front yard with a gunshot wound.
Her son, 21-year-old Arkansas State University defensive lineman Markel Demario Owens and his stepfather, 36-year-old Johnny Shivers were both found with gunshot wounds inside the apartment. Shivers was apparently deceased on the scene, but Markel
Owens was transported to the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Chermaine Owens was treated for her injuries and was released that night from Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
Johnny Lorenzo Wade, 19, and his cousin, 22-year-old Derrick Andreaus Wade, are both facing two counts of felony murder, with attempted first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, aggravated assault and tampering with evidence in the incident.
The men are being held with no bond because of the seriousness of the charges they face.
Their cases were bound over to the Madison County grand jury on Feb. 13, following a preliminary hearing.
Following the judge's ruling, the prosecutor requested that the suspects have no contact with the witnesses or potential witnesses.
The release said on Feb. 4, a material witness began receiving phone calls from the jail, but did not answer. Investigators learned that Johnny Wade had learned the witness' number and later directed Bond to locate the witness. Investigators also learned that Wade had talked about the murder case not being able to continue without the witness.
Investigators later intercepted a three-way phone conversation from the Madison County Jail between Wade and Bond. Wade asked Bond if he had found the witness and Bond said he could not find the witness.
Bond was arrested Sunday morning and booked into jail, the release said.
Police said they expect additional charges to be filed on Johnny Wade for his part in attempting to coerce the witness, the release said.
This is not the first time Bond, who has ties to Jackson, has been charged in connection with a violent crime.
In an August 4, 2013 incident in Jackson, Bond, who was 18 at the time, was facing charges of two counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, burglary of a motor vehicle and theft over $500.
Police said around 5:40 p.m. on Aug. 4, officers were dispatched to Royal Arms Apartments, located at 1580 N. Royal Street, after shots had been fired. Officers arrived and found shell casings in front of the 900 building.
According to an Aug. 16 news release, JPD then received a call to Trinity Food Mart, located at 1586 N. Parkway. A 19-year-old man told police that as he was sitting in his car, which sat in front of the 900 building, he was approached by two men. Bond was identified by investigators as being one of the suspects.
The release said the suspects demanded money and Bond reached into the victim's car window and took the man's wallet and money that was laying in the car seat. The victim drove away and the two men began shooting, striking the man's car numerous times. Neither the victim or his two-year-old son, who was also in the car, were struck by the gunfire.
Bond was brought by private vehicle to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital with a gunshot wound shortly afterward, the release said. Bond, who was listed in critical but stable condition, told officers and investigators that he was an innocent bystander who was struck in the back during the gunfire at Royal Arms Apartments.
The release said investigators determined that Bond was one of the robbers and that he was shot by his accomplice during the robbery.
But charges were dropped against Bond on Sept. 12, when Bond was brought before Jackson City Court Judge Blake Anderson. It was announced that the case against Bond was being dismissed because it was the second setting that the victim of the crime didn't show up.
Bond, who was shackled and wearing blue jail clothing, smiled and his family and friends in the courtroom celebrated.

Dr. Tabloski has committed her career to the teaching, practice, administration and research of gerontology since 1978. Dr. Tabloski maintained a clinical practice as an advanced practice gerontological nurse in collaboration with two physician colleagues and a multi-disciplinary team for 20 years. The team provided primary care to nursing home residents at all levels of care. Additionally, she established the first Geriatric Assessment Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and arranged rotations for many nursing, medical and social work students over the years. Dr. Tabloski conducts research to improve sleep and reduce agitation using non-pharmacological interventions. She has numerous publications, presentations and citations that attest to her accomplishments as a scholar and a researcher. She has gained a national and international reputation as an expert in the area of sleep and care of the elderly. She has just completed a text book entitled Gerontological Nursing (2006) Prentice Hall, which has been well received. The text focuses on normal changes of aging and common diseases of aging as the basis of nursing assessment and planning. The text also incorporates clinical pearls, Best Nursing Practices, drug alerts, critical thinking exercises and care planning examples. These same features will support the growth and knowledge acquisition of the Brigham educator/clinical leader teams.
Dr. Tabloski is an excellent colleague and supportive of others wishing to care for the elderly. She recently obtained funding for three full scholarships at Boston College for students choosing to study gerontology but lacking funds to pursue study. She presently is completing a study funded by NIA to conduct an intervention study to improve sleep by using individualized music at bedtime combined with an environmental noise light reduction program.
Dr. Tabloski teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in gerontology, end of life care, pharmacology and pathophysiology. She works with undergraduate, masters and doctoral students interested in care of the elderly. Her current clinical skills and over 20 years experience as an advanced practice nurse enrich her teaching expertise. While at the University of Massachusetts, she developed the first multi-disciplinary course on normal aging open to nursing, medical, social work and psychology students from the Worcester area. Students from all disciplines and levels of study have worked with Dr. Tabloski in the classroom, clinic, and nursing home.
Dr. Tabloski was selected to serve as a faculty mentor and scholar at the John A. Hartford Foundation, Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University in June, 2002. Additionally, she was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, School of Nursing in Manchester, UK. She has lectured on gerontology in Budapest, Hungary and Zhejiang Province, China. She serves on review panels for top-tier nursing journals, is a grant application reviewer, and maintains certification as an advanced practice gerontological nurse through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She is a member of Sigma Theta Tau, the national honor society of nursing, and the American Geriatric Society, serving on the Professional Education Committee for three years. She has been a member of the Gerontological Society of America since 1985 and was awarded fellowship status in 2002.

Edge of Tomorrow: "PG-13" (113 Min)
Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson, Jonas Armstrong
Directed by: Doug Liman
We realize that we are going to be in the minority when we say this but we found this film to be — while not entirely uninteresting — largely bloodless. It is a videogame set on endless repeat, where no matter how many times you die, you simply re-boot back to the starting point and have another go at it. While everyone who reviews this film is inevitably going to make the Groundhog Day reference, we could cite a half a dozen other "time loop" films that essentially do the same thing. The protagonist gets so far, runs into an impasse, then dies/wakes up/whatever, and is reset to the beginning only to try something slightly different and manages to get a little farther in their quest until Bingo, we're there and resolution…
Yeah, wake me when it's over.
Sorry kids, this is one of the reasons why we don't play videogames any more. The repetition is killing us. Actual forward plot movement is replaced with the illusion of forward movement. Don't get us wrong, the action is spot on, the acting is engaging enough, there is a fair amount of gallows humor to make the endless re-boots entertaining enough, but we simply can't get past the sameness of it all coupled with the obvious derivative nature of both the story itself as well as all of the visuals (the alien race looks like a cross between the Matrix creatures and Transformers, while the "drop wire" nature of the attack riffs on Starship Trooper (the book, not the crappy film adaptation); while the invasion of Normandy harkens back to Private Ryan; and then there's the whole Groundhog's Day thing again — yeah, this one didn't do anything for us especially as the ending of the film is telegraphed all the way through the film itself due to the very nature of the "Time Loop/Re-boot" scenario built into the plot.
OK, let's talk about that plot; it is based on the Japanese Young Adult Manga novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka about an alien race that has invaded the Earth in an unrelenting assault that has proven to be nearly unbeatable by any military unit. The invading forces have now conquered all of Asia and Europe, and The united allied earth forces are once again massing for an invasion from England into France. Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat (he was ROTC and went into marketing, but when the war broke out, his business collapsed, so he joined up to help market next-gen combat gear to combat the invaders). Unfortunately for him, he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission, the invasion itself, which the aliens somehow to know about in advance. Killed within minutes of hitting the beach, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop that forces him to re-live the same brutal combat day over and over, fighting and dying over and over again. However, as stated, with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). As Cage and Vrataski take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
Again, the visuals are interesting enough, the story isn't all bad, the acting is fine, and the characters themselves have depth, it is just the underlying package that leaves us cold. Your mileage may vary.

the experience of a lifetime
The 27th international final of the Elite Model Look contest was held in Shanghai, China, one of the world's most cosmopolitan metropolises. The city also had the honour of simultaneously hosting the 2010 World Fair. Known for its exciting atmosphere and incredible cultural attractions, Shanghai welcomed the 71 young Elite Model Look finalists from all over the world for 15 days.
Erjona Ala2nd winner International Final 2010 | more
The candidates, representing 60 participating countries, prepared to give their best during the grand finale: fittings, shootings, intensive rehearsals and meetings with the Elite agents … But the girls also had time to visit the sites of Shanghai – not to mention the World Fair! In summary, an eventful schedule that was a unique and emotional experience!
On October 10th 2010, the 15 winners of a three-year contract with the Elite modelling group were announced by the Elite Model Look jury, composed of professionals from the fashion and modeling industry, at the Waterhouse, one of the most spectacular design hotels in the center of Shanghai.
Karolina Tolkachova, a young Ukrainian, only 16-years old, won the first final of the decade. At her side, in 2nd and 3rd place respectively, were Erjona Ala (Norway) and Karin Savkova (Slovakia).
Alma Durand, the French revelation of the Elite Model Look contest
This young girl from Nantes had always dreamed of following in the footsteps of her mother, a former model originally from Finland. At 15-years old and 1.78m tall, Alma participated in the Elite Model Look France contest 2010 with a strong will to succeed. Her determination helped her to win the French final and a place in the top 15 at the international final in Shanghai! Encouraged by her family, Alma continued her schooling while managing her modeling career. During Fashion Week, she walked in Milan and then in Paris (Bluegirl, C'N'C Costume National, Issey Miyake, Lie Sang Bong, Carven, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac). The motivation and confidence that characterizes Alma allow her to foresee a future career as a top model.

I created a file, did chmod 000 to it and then changed the owner and group to root:root. I was still able to delete the file as the original creator of it (not root).
Who has permissions to delete a file?
The permissions of the containing directory determine the ability to rename and delete files.
Specifically, to delete/rename a file, a user needs to have write and execute (i.e. traversal) permissions on the containing directory, and the file in question must not be immutable. (Under these circumstances, a non-privileged user can even delete files owned by root.)
Restricted Deletion:
It is possible to restrict deletion of files to only the owner of the files (and privileged users), by setting the 'sticky bit' (also known as the 'restricted deletion flag') on the containing directory using:
Read Permissions:
You should note that the read permission on the containing directory is not required. Without it, you will still be able to delete the file, if you know its name, although you will not be able to 'read' the contents of the directory (e.g. without read permissions you cannot run
Immutable Files:
As a side point, by making a file immutable (i.e.
The owner of the folder where the file resides will, if they have write permissions on the folder, be able to delete the file even if it's mask is 000 or the file is owned by another user. If you really want to create a file that no one can touch/delete you should look into the command

I'm new to Topology and need a little help in working out a general intuition of how to build proofs. I have a question that is asking me to show that a quotient map (from a topology onto it's quotient topology, defined by an equivalence relation) is a local homeomorphism.
I know the definition of a local homeomorphism and I realise that I need to somehow show that there exists a neighbourhood of each point in the topology that when the quotient map is restricted to it it becomes a local homeomorphism, but what would constitute a complete proof that that is the case?
Asre there any good examples or templates for questions like these that anyone can recommend?
I can post the question if needs be, but I don't want an answer, just an explanation of what needs to be done for the proof to be complete.

The Burning Man Festival was marred by the death of a woman attending the annual event in the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. The dead woman is identified as 29-year-old Alicia Louise Cipicchio of Jackson, Wyoming, according to MSN News on Aug. 28.
Cipicchio was killed when she was hit by a bus that was carrying passengers around the playa a little past midnight. The accident occurred in the temporary village, Black Rock City, near Center Camp.
According to the New York Daily News, Police report the woman died "after falling under a large vehicle" at the desert event. Because this event is literally held in the middle of nowhere, Humboldt General Hospital in Winnemucca provides medical services on-site for the festival attendees, which draws over 60,000 people each year.
First responders pronounced the woman dead on the scene. The Burning Man Festival is about 100 miles north of Reno in the middle of the desert. Each year the desert comes a temporary home to this counterculture event filled with music and good times for the free-spirited set. The event takes place the same time every year during the week leading up to and including Labor Day.
Cipicchio is a 2008 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro where she majored in art. She was an employee of the RARE Gallery of Fine Art, which is located not far from Yellow Stone National Park in Teton County, Wyoming.

Let $f(x) = (1 − x)^{-1}$ and $x_{0} = 0.$
(a) Find the nth Taylor polynomial $P_{n}(x)$ for $f(x)$ about $x_{0}$.
(b) Find the smallest value of $n$ necessary for $P_{n}(x)$ to approximate $f(x)$ to within $10^{-6}$ on $[0; 0.5]$.
For part (a) I get $P_{n}(x)=1+x^{2}+x^{3}+...+x^{n}.$ I don't know how to get started with part (b), is it finding $n$ such that $|f(x)-P_{n}(x)| \leq 10^{-6}$? Thanks!

You might remember a post in early November that detailed a Riot Games concept artists skin sketches created for fans. Since then, Riot Penguin has been hard at work creating concept art based on fan submitted ideas.
Recently Penguin created a blog to answer some frequently asked questions and dump all of his works to one place for easy access.
"So here's the deal with these sketches - There are a LOT of skin ideas out there (from the Skins team, other Rioters, the community, etc) and we consider each one before moving forward with one," his blog reads. "That means during a brainstorm, I can definitely say 'Hey guys, check out this cool community idea!', but ultimately the final decision is made as a team."
He continues, "So yes, they are being made as fan art, not official Riot art - But no, that doesn't mean they're black listed from ever being made either. It just means that it's not up to any one person to decide which ideas we put into production."
The gallery above contains all of his creations since then including Twilight Leona (Basically a Diana skin), Wrecking Ball Orianna, and Styx Nami.
If you have your own ideas for Penguin to draw, make sure to check out the thread here. You can find him on Twitter as well.
Which of the skins is your favorite? Discuss in the comments below!

text: 10 March 2003 archive See all show photos ALEXANDER MCQUEEN has without doubt transformed himself from the one-time enfant terrible of British fashion into a designer whose imaginative vision and supreme cutting technique put him in line with Parisian masters, past and present. His show on Saturday was as theatrical as it was commercially viable - a combination that, in the present international economic climate, takes considerable genius. Reflecting the world mood, McQueen put his models in desolate, snow-covered surroundings, with some having to battle the elements of an enclosed wind tunnel (giving a 120ft, hand-painted silk cloak all the more drama), before making it to the catwalk. Stiff dirndl skirts, some of which had narrowly pleated layers rippling out from armour-like gold painted over-panels, stuck out stiffly under fitted Alpine jackets with fur running over each shoulder. There was elegance, in spite of the elements, in cleverly draped jersey trousers and a stunning selection of scoop-necked A-line sleeveless dresses, some in chiffon with gathered empire necklines and delicate sequin embroidery. And amid a sober palette of faded burgundy, olive green, grey, silver and metallic gold, there were definite references to Red Army uniform. Then came a legion of black and white, in tailored suits and dresses, as well as post-apocalyptic stretchy jumpsuits. Belted jackets and coats in speckled fur or quilted satin and one huge circular cape made of fur pom-poms protected wind-ravaged models in a show that once again haled McQueen as one of today's finest fashion minds. As if he didn't already know it: the invitations to his show were printed with scans of his own brain. (March 10 2003, AM) Continue reading Back to top
