Identity Crisis: Breaking Out of Stale Roles
Get fit. Get organized. Get a better job. Sound familiar? Along with "Be a better person," "Get out of a rut at work" is one of those resolutions that has a way of showing up year after year on midlifers' New Year's lists.
Before you tune up your resume to switch companies or even fields, ask yourself, "If I move to a new place, will I simply run into the same old me?" Jobs come and go, but our work styles and habits — even admirable ones — have a way of sticking with us and getting us stuck.
One of the best ways to diagnose the problem is to look back to the traits you developed in girlhood. Personally, I have a lot to choose from, starting with my can-do reflex and terrier-grip persistence. But the childhood quality that put me in the corner office was my compulsion to feel responsible for everybody and everything. On the plus side, I ended up in jobs with lots of authority. But I also dug my own ditch of workplace anxiety: sleepless nights, tossing and resenting. ("Why is it always on me?") It wasn't until I delegated some power to my staff that I was able to shift from worrier-in-chief to partner.
A workplace persona — and the frustrations built into it — can take many forms. Do you find yourself continually cast as the office mom, thanks to your nurturing, team-building talent? Are you relegated to life as the detail diva because you're so good with numbers, even though you crave a leadership role?
However eager you are to move on, it can be surprisingly difficult to break out of such roles. Often, there are hidden dividends: We're comfortable. Colleagues like us this way. We may secretly enjoy being everyone's favorite office historian or go-to rescue artist. And we may reap more tangible rewards: pay, perks, title. But being pegged can stall us, bore us, and deplete our self-respect.
It may seem simplest just to abandon ship, and sometimes that's the best approach. But you don't want to give up hard-won knowledge and contacts. Meet some women who had the courage to look in the mirror and get out of their ruts while preserving what they value.
Let Go of Your Fears
Margaret A. Gomez had struggled with her shyness for years. Even as she made her way up in her field, human resources, she knew that her behavior often sabotaged her aspirations. Working at one advertising firm for 12 years, she rose from executive assistant to vice president and director of human resources. But, like many successful people, she often feared that she would be "found out," that she wasn't really executive material, and wouldn't advance further. Although she tried to change her style, she says, it was hard: "It's like being in a family that knows you in a certain way."
Her moment of truth came some years ago at a business function, when she ran into a senior executive she had once worked with. "He'd always had a very strong presence," Gomez says. She found herself acting subserviently around him, even though he wasn't her boss anymore. Determined to change her patterns, Gomez began to take action. She carefully observed people around her to see how they presented themselves. She took communications courses and received the certification she needed to move up in her field.
As she found new ways to operate, Gomez noticed that changes were percolating. "It was like little time-release capsules going off inside me," she says. One of her best tactics: When she met someone new, she would remind herself, "They don't know I'm an introvert. I'm free to create who I need to be to get the job done."
Gomez held several jobs in corporate human resources, but found the most satisfaction in using those skills to run her own coaching and recruiting business. Lately, the fears that once dominated her, Gomez says, have dissolved into a sort of white noise in the background. She feels more relaxed and has seen herself shine. "I walk right to the edge of my fear," Gomez says. And she encourages other people to do the same. She recently gave a speech titled "Unleash Your Inner Tycoon."

My instincts tell me that I should like this. I like Akron/Family, after all, and of all the freaky folk-styled bands out there, Akron/Family's not a bad one to sound like, which Au's self-titled debut often does. Even so, getting through the 34 minutes or so of Au always feels like a letdown. For its first half, Au actually sounds like it has a chance—opener "Boute" is an intriguing mix of flowing pianos and deathly flat, hollowed-out vocals, though it has a huge "la la la la la" break in the middle of it that pretty much makes the song. After hearing it a few times, it's easy to find yourself wishing the "la la la"s would show up until they do, the point after which you start wishing they'd come back. "Sum" appropriately adds together a whole bunch of rather noisy (in the traditionally instrumental sense) elements to create a sea of barely-organized chaos, while "Shelter" is a pretty and ethereal mix of extended synth chords and piano melodies. Perhaps fittingly, it's "Death" that throws the album off-track, itself a tuneless, floating piece of too-intentionally artsy space junk. After "Death", it's hard to take anything else seriously. It's too bad, because Au's Luke Wyland seems to have the right idea, with his commitment to individuality and willingness to go where his muse takes him; regrettably, that muse isn't quite ready for prime time, and the result is an album for which "interesting" is the greatest compliment available.

An astute film music fan who still buys physical CDs will undoubtedly notice a rather finite set of labels on their shelves. Film music is a niche market and only certain record companies have mastered it, to a point where knowing more about the label itself could instruct a consumer about prospective purchases.
There are two great types of releases: private and commercial. Some actually delve in both, but usually a company will specialize in one.
Private releases are almost always limited printings (from 500 to 5000 units) and feature film scores from an earlier era (either a score that was never printed at the time of the movie's release, or an expanded re-release of a previously incomplete pressing). They can only be ordered at specialized online retailers and usually sell for $20. They feature lovingly crafted inserts, with several pages of pictures and liner notes.
The history of private releases began in the late 80s when Varèse Sarabande (already an established commercial soundtrack label) came out with the "Varèse CD Club", a mail-only collection of limited edition soundtracks. Experts agree: it was ahead of its time. Ten years later, with the advent of the Internet and social media networks, things were different. Labels like Film Score Monthly and Prometheus began spewing private releases. Even Varèse started a new "Varèse CD Club", this time enjoying a much greater success. This craze of private releases is even what saved Intrada, whose commercial releases were becoming very few and far between. In fact, the Intrada Special Collection tackled the market with such aggressiveness that they eventually took Film Score Monthly out of the running. New players still active today also joined the fray. The following is a description of each label.
Film Score Monthly
Film Score Monthly releases, although no longer forthcoming, are a treasure trove of older material. They usually go as far back as the golden age of cinema, with composers like Max Steiner, Franz Waxman, Bernard Herrmann and Miklós Rózsa. They also feature early works by contemporary legends like Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams.
Intrada usually prefers to aim for items in hot demand (from the 60s through the 90s) rather than finding lost gems of film history, which may explain some of their success.
Varèse Sarabande
The new Varèse CD Club's mission statement lies somewhere in the middle between Film Score Monthly and Intrada, balancing older archival work with high-demand releases. It always pays to keep an eye out for new Varèse titles.
The people at Tadlow/Prometheus do more than merely release older scores: they often re-record them entirely. They are not very prolific but they print top quality material.
Buysoundtrax is an opportunistic label. They go in for contracts that are easily attainable yet boast a good measure of appeal for the public. They also sell cheaper. A lot of contemporary masterworks you never knew existed can be discovered on this label.
The highly prolific La-La-Land is nothing if not thorough. Just like Intrada, they go for the hot and trendy releases, but in addition they will often latch onto a franchise (such as Batman or Star Trek) and start re-releasing beautiful complete editions of every score in the series.
Kritzerland has a gift for picking titles from around the 60s and 70s that sell insanely quick. Their packaging is sparser than their competitor's but that doesn't hinder the overall worth of the releases.
Staying afloat of the private release market is quite draining, especially on the wallet. Faced with the inability of buying everything, one often is forced to prioritize and try to predict the market.

Harry Styles wins injunction against photographers
One Direction's Harry Styles has won permanent High Court orders against four members of the paparazzi in his legal battle to end the "crazy pursuit" of him.
The injunction prevents the photographers from pursuing the singer by car or motorcycle.
It also stops them from placing him under surveillance, loitering or waiting within 50 metres of his place of residence to monitor his movements or take photos of him.
His barrister told a judge in London today that four individuals had so far been identified since harassment proceedings were launched last year.
All four were handed permanent injunctions while efforts to identify others are ongoing.
In December, One Direction star Styles, now 20, went to court as a last resort after trying to persuade a number of photographers to stop their behaviour voluntarily.

Court grants Harry Styles protection from paparazzi
Singer Harry Styles has won a court order stopping the paparazzi from harassing him.
The 19-year-old One Direction star applied to the High Court as a last resort after trying to persuade a number of photographers to stop their behaviour voluntarily, said counsel David Sherborne.
He told Mrs Justice Nicola Davies, who first granted the order against the unidentified individuals: "This is not a privacy injunction. Mr Styles is not trying to prevent fans approaching him in the street and taking photos. He remains happy to do that, as he always has.
"Rather, it is the method or tactics which have been used by a certain type of photographer."
The injunction against "Paparazzi AAA and others" prevents them from pursuing the singer by car or motorcycle, placing him under surveillance, loitering or waiting within 50 metres of his place of residence to monitor his movements or take photos of him in such circumstances.

New Park Next to Pitillal River Inaugurated
Published Jan 12, 2010, 12:57pm - (Updated Nov 28, 2011, 6:28pm)
City officials opened the first stage of a new park at the Pitillal riverfront, a corridor, which is the start of an ambitious project that will eventually extend for 7 km. This is an ideal recreational environment for families living near the river or for those looking for a tranquil place to exercise outdoors.
The Pitillal river is located on the popular neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta that bears the same name, and it meets the ocean between the Holiday Inn and Plaza Peninsula, on Fco. Medina Ascencio. Pitillal was once a separate town adjoining Puerto Vallarta, but thanks to its growth, it is now part of our destination. To learn more about Pitillal and its attractions, click here.

I would like to buy a new computer for my old home server, so the only things that remain are the HDDs.
I know that under WinXP you can't do this, because the HAL will have problems and it'll probably BSOD at boot.
I have been told that I should boot the new computer with a LiveCD, mount the root filesystem, and do update-initramfs, and after that do a grub-update, or something like that.
Are there any other things that should be done? I'm particularly interested in RAID, I have two RAID1 volumes, managed by mdadm, will those work fine, or do I have to reassemble them in some way?
Also, are there tools for generating the /etc/fstab file? Like, I mount all my partitions to the same way as they were on the old system, and now I want to take a "snapshot" of the currently mounted volumes and write to fstab.
Can someone please walk me through this procedure step-by-step?

LONGVIEW — An inmate who collapsed at the Cowlitz County Jail died Thursday at a Vancouver hospital.
The Clark County medical examiner's office will conduct on autopsy, and the Cowlitz County sheriff's office is investigating what happened to Jenny Lynn Borelis, 28.
She hit her head Sunday when a Kelso police officer used a stun gun to stop her from running away. She was wanted on arrest warrants from the Department of Corrections.
Borelis was examined at a Longview hospital before she was booked into jail. She collapsed Wednesday and was taken to another where she died.
Borelis had told police she used heroin and meth, and was infected with hepatitis C.

UA Mall Cinemas 1-2-3-4
333 Los Cerritos Center,
6 people favorited this theater
UA Cinemas-Cerritos was the first of three United Artists locations to open at Los Cerritos Center, a large suburban venue in southeast Los Angeles County. One of the first fourplexes, it opened with the center in 1971, the address given was 333 Los Cerritos Center. Inside an indoor mall corridor, the theatre was officially designated UA Mall Cinemas 1-4, to distinguish it from two additional screens outside in the parking lot that opened the following year (UA Twin Cinemas A & B). In earlier days of commercial development it was not unheard of to have two separate movie complexes (sometimes even operated by different chains) in different parts of the same shopping center.
Each of UA Mall 1-4's auditoriums was minimalistic (like most multiplexes then): long and narrow, aisle straight down the middle and no premium picture or sound. With utilitarian paint and drapes, each auditorium was done in one of four primary colors: Red, blue, yellow or green. These colors were tied to the old 'punch & fold' ticket system in which colored, pre-printed tickets connected patrons to their auditorium (see photos section for details).
The four colors were echoed in the lobby (including giant numbers above the auditorium entrance doors) but carpet, panelling and fixtures made for a dark interior. Identical to UA City-Orange (across the line in Orange County), UA Mall-Cerritos had a no-nonsense layout: snack bar on the left as you entered from the mall and auditoriums straight ahead. There was also an open-air satellite box office (out front in a foyer of poster cases).
UA Cerritos Mall (as it was colloquially known), though inelegant, performed extremely well. With busy traffic and fun amenities of the surrounding center, it had high energy and volume. Strongly booked, it sold out frequently. Morning shows ran daily. Cerritos Mall was the perfect place for children's fare, horror movies, cult favorites and teen audiences. In the late-1980's, UA Mall still out-grossed larger and newer complexes (even driving its closest competitor, AMC Alondra 6, into sub-run status). Both the Mall and the Twin, however, were eventually supplanted. In 1998 the UA Galaxy, an eleven screener with stadium seating, opened elsewhere in the center.

This was a great place to work in the mid 1980s. I was the last union theater technician to work in Southern California.
Hey, that did not bother me because I was about to become a radar air traffic controller at ZLA, the air route traffic control center in Palmdale, CA. Finally, UA fired me, but two weeks later, I was at the FAA academy in OKC, OK.
What was cool about this place is that it had Norelcos to run 70mm in a four-plex. Yes, 70mm and six-track Dolby stereo. Man, that had to hurt AMC, also in the mall. Why? AMC only had 35mm and mono sound. Ouch!!!
I managed this dump ,for 6 months it was really a grind house it opened at 10 am and ran 1045pm shows in the evening, UA didn't spend a dime on this place the twin was in the parking lot, my friend Josephine was the Manager of the twin, it was a lot nicer than the 4 plex in the mall and it had great sound and 70mm, it played all the big first run films and then they moved them to the mall after they were dead. Marsha Naify was the District Manager any one know where she is? still in Long Beach?
When I was there, Josephine, an Asian lady, was the DM and Naify was back up to San Francisco.
A few things… The UA Mall didn't have 70. You're thinking of someplace else (perhaps the UA Twin out in the parking lot). Also, AMC was not in the Los Cerritos Center shopping mall, but a short distance away on Alondra. In fact, it was called AMC Alondra 6. Alondra 6 became a discount house by the late 1980s. Marsha Naify, of the Naiy family that once owned United Artists Theatres, was a Southern California DM for UA as well as a film booker for that chain. I believe she did work out of San Francisco for a while (when UA's main office was there) but eventually she did bookings from Encino. I saw her name in (I believe it was a horse racing) article a couple years ago. Anyone know where Mark Naify is now?
Zubi, You are right! I was thinking of the Twin out in the parking lot. Whoops! Honestly, I have worked at so many theaters that it is hard to remember them all. I have a newpaper clipping with me holding a "UNFAIR" sign and standing outside with other brothers in a photo when we were striking. hahaha. Then, I got my job back as a technician, not a projectionist. Well, for a while anyway. tee-hee. Man, I need to dig that out that article and reminisce.
Thanks for the clear-up Zubi!
Um, wonder what the Naify's are doing today???
I just read that Marsha Naify married a women named, Ana Pinheiro.
First time I went to this theater was as a kid in the 70s for a James Bond triple bill…Dr No, From Russia With Love, and Thunderball.
I worked there for a few months in the early 80s (late 82 I think) when the manager was Mr. Tarantino (probably Tarantex?). This was also at the same time as the projectionist strike Meredith is referring to. I used to help the manager and assistant managers with running the projectors.
I also worked for Josephine when I first started earlier in 82 at the UA Marketplace in Long Beach when she was the manager there.
I was there in 79/ 80 I loved Joesphine she was so Damn nice Didn't speak good English but she tried, She was Sharp, I helped her run the Twin , and taught her how do handle crowds, the thing I liked most she wasn't afraid to get dirty if something broke, I am glad she made it too District Manager Where is she now?? I know Marsha got married shes so Happy now, Those were Fun Times in the olden days.
Nice pictures, Zubi. Love that early 1970's look.
The finish line store that took the place of this theater right after it closes has moved to another part of the mall. The door to this space was left open this past week and you could stare right into the old theater space. It has been gutted again. What's going in now who knows.

Many of you play video games, and have favourites among them. Most gamers even have a favourite game developer, and often times a game will become popular, more because of its developer/publisher, and less due to its own charm. This automatically gives some companies the edge over others. Now you probably can't make money while playing games, but apparently, you can make a fortune at making them, as some video game companies have shown. Ever wondered who the richest game maker is? Here's a list of the top 10 Richest video-game companies in the world in 2013.
Most of these game companies are game developers, as well as game publishers. Often, they acquire smaller game studios, or form mergers to become a whole new company (like Activision-Blizzard). Now, it is worth noticing that out of the top 10 richest game companies, six are based in Japan, whereas only three are U.S based. So you gotta hand it over to the Japanese for your PlayStations, and your Hitman, Tomb Raider, and Pro Evolution Soccer series!

A certain set $\cal P$ of primes is defined by two assumedly independent conditions:
The first condition on a prime $p$ can be characterized in terms of the type of splitting of $p$ in certain Galois extensions of $\Bbb Q$. The natural density of the bigger set ${\cal P}^\prime$ of primes satisfying this condition can be estimated under the usual independence hypotheses using Cebotarev's theorem.
Let $v$ be a non-zero vector in ${\Bbb Z}^2$. For each $p\in{\cal P}^\prime$ a certain $1$-dimensional subspace $V_p\subset({\Bbb Z}/p{\Bbb Z})^2$ is defined. The second condition is then that $p\in{\cal P}$ if and only if $v\bmod p\in V_p$.
Thus, a prime $p\in{\cal P}^\prime$ is actually in $\cal P$ with "probability" $c_p=\frac1{p+1}$.
I am tempted to consider the quantity $$ \delta({\cal P})=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac {\sum_{p\in{\cal P}^\prime_n}\ c_p} {|\hbox{primes $\leq n$}|} $$ where ${\cal P}^\prime_n={\cal P}^\prime\cap\[1,\ldots,n\]$. What is unclear to me is if this may be taken as a good estimate (or "guess") of the natural density of $\cal P$ or not.

New models evaluate the 'total' costs in receiving and storing materials for a refinery
[spare parts]
Optimizing the reordering of raw materials and maintenance spare parts is a problem
extensively studied in the academic field, but poorly solved.
This project focuses on the problem of reordering points and
batch sizes via a commercial discrete-event simulation
software. A product for reordering points was developed and
tested. It was successfully used to optimize the reordering
points and batch sizes of several critical spare parts for a refinery. The satisfactory results
enabled reducing the total ordering, storage and backorder

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Let $G$ be an operator on Hilbert space $H$ such that $\ker G$ is different from $\{0\}$.
Let also $P$ be the orthogonal projection onto $\ker G$, $G_1$ the restriction of $G$ on $\ker P$ and
$G_2$ the restriction of $G$ on $\operatorname{Im} P$.
My question is: can I say that $\sigma(G) = \sigma(G_{1})\cup\sigma(G_{2})$?

Only stuffed toys which have been issued a certificate as provided in section 4 of this act may be sold, distributed or given away in this Commonwealth.
The provisions of this act shall be administered by the department. The secretary or his authorized representative may take for analysis samples of stuffed toys from manufacturers, retailers or distributors thereof.
If any manufacturer of stuffed toys or any stuffed toys are found in violation of this act or the regulations thereunder, the department may suspend the sale of such toys by the manufacturer and prohibit the sale or giving away of such toys by retailers, distributors or other persons having such toys. In pursuance of the above, the department may confiscate such toys pending an appeal, by any party injured, to the Industrial Board; such appeal shall utilize the procedures set forth in section 4 of this act.
Prosecutions for violations of this act or the regulations thereunder shall be in the form of summary proceedings before a district justice. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this act shall, in a summary proceeding, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than three hundred dollars ($300.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense, and in default of payment thereof, undergo imprisonment of not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days.
This act shall take effect in sixty days.

"You better brush and floss daily to take care of them if you want to have them till the day you die." The dentist, your parents and even the teacher in first grade hounded you over it. Taking care of your teeth is the most common way to prevent dental caries, brown holes in your teeth.
Those past a certain age grew up being told there was nothing you could do about a cavity "Now let the dentist drill a hole in the tooth and fill it with that pretty silver." Not so, it's not "new news" but a holistic health habit that too many do not practice. Eating a variety of good food and fat soluble vitamins for children and making sure real minerals via real butter, cod liver oil, and Vitamin D milk are a practical part of the diet.
Why do cavities happen People these days are not educated about what causes a cavity and how to prevent the damage and high dentist bills. Calcium is leached out of the teeth through various parts of the body. The dentist calls it demineralization. And yes it is passed down from one generation to the next, the teeth becoming weaker with each generation if you don't take the steps to intervene. Fat and water soluble vitamins also known as minerals Vitamins B, C and a whole lot of A, D,E, and K. plus calcium will make all the difference in the world to your teeth and the next generation's.
The dentist who write the book on healing cavities, Ramiel Nagel Foods that heal your teeth. ½ teaspoon of Green Pasture's Royal Blend fermented cod liver oil/butter oil, two to three times a day equaling 1.5 teaspoons per day. http://www.curetoothdecay.com/
- 1-4 cups of raw grassfed milk or
- four ounces of raw grassfed cheese.
- Two cups of bone soup/broth daily made from the organs and bones of chicken, beef or fish.
It is possible to avoid root canals and cavities, for new tooth enamel, and increase your overall health and vitality. Cavities are just one of the signs from the body that it is deficient in vitamins and minerals. You can heal your cavity and I does take some time.

DIGBY — The funeral for a Digby-area teen killed in a car crash Friday will be held in the school he attended at 11 a.m. on Christmas Eve.
Services for Brenton Joseph Merritt, 17, will take place at Digby Regional High School.
Merritt was killed sometime after 3:30 a.m. Friday while driving from Conway, near Digby, to Centreville on Digby Neck.
Merritt worked aboard his uncle's lobster boat and was on his way to work.
His car left Highway 217 and struck a tree, somewhere near the Trout Cove Road in Centreville, Digby RCMP Cpl. Tim MacDonald said Friday.
RCMP did not release Merritt's name, but the time of Merritt's funeral was published by Jayne's Funeral Home in Digby.
Merritt was wearing a seatbelt and was still inside of his car when a passing motorist stopped and called 911.
Merritt's uncle also arrived at the scene a short time later, police said.
The young driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Highway conditions were reported to have been slippery in some areas and the roadway was also rutted there.
Deer had been seen in the immediate area and police speculated Merritt may have swerved to avoid an animal or may have lost control because of the condition of the road.
An online obituary asked that donations in Merritt's memory may be made to the Digby Neck fire department or to a rugby-soccer bursary at Digby Regional High School.

On Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi issued a tweet claiming that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would magically create 85,000 jobs, Twitchy reported, causing many to school the California Democrat once called "mind-numbingly stupid" by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy.
"Joined @askgeorge and @USDOL today in calling on GOP to #raisethewage to $10.10. If we do, we can create 85,000 jobs," Pelosi tweeted, referencing Rep. George Miller, another California Democrat.
A number of people took Pelosi to task for her comment, Twitchy said.
"Why not just raise the minimum wage to $100/hr so we all get rich. Wouldn't that work?" one person asked sarcastically.
"Make it $500. Are you racist or something??" another person said in response.
"How does raising the wage can create 85,000 jobs. You should say we will lose 85,000 jobs," another person tweeted.
Another person asked how raising the minimum wage would create jobs in the first place, something Pelosi never explained.
"Or like Obamacare math you'll [create] 85000 new jobs while destroying 3 million other jobs," another person observed.
The minimum wage was created in 1938 as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act in part, to help stabilize the post-depression economy and create a minimum standard of living.
But some have decided they want to see that minimum standard become a "living wage."
Some, like Kshama Sawant, Seattle's new Socialist city council member, are calling for a $15.00/hour minimum wage, and others want Obama to unilaterally decree a minimum wage hike through an executive order.
This isn't the first time Pelosi has called for a $10.10 minimum wage.
Last March, GOPUSA reported that Pelosi called for a hike to $10.10.
"If we are going to honor our commitment to the middle class, we have to reflect that intention in our public policy," she said.
Ironically, Pelosi recently said Republicans are heartless for wanting job creation.

- Nancy Pelosi scolds reporter for saying 'Obamacare'

Stanford – 26 • 31 = 57
Connecticut – 39 • 37 = 76
• Stanford fell to 9-6 all-time to Connecticut, and has lost nine of the past 12 meetings. Monday's loss was also the first for the Cardinal at Gampel Pavilion. The Cardinal entered the game 1-0 in Storrs, having captured a 68-54 win on Feb. 20, 1993.
• Amber Orrange set a new career-high with 22 points, breaking her old mark of 20 set last March 10 in the Pac-12 Tournament title game against UCLA.
• Chiney Ogwumike posted her 60th-career double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.
• Freshman point guard Lili Thompson hit her first collegiate 3-pointers, going 2-for-3 from behind the arc and scoring six points.
• Chiney Ogwumike and Amber Orrange combined for 38 of Stanford's 57 points.
• The last time that Stanford lost its first game this early in the season (second game) was in 2008-09, when the Cardinal dropped its second contest of the campaign, SCORE, on Nov. X at Baylor.
• All five of Stanford's freshmen saw action Monday, combining to score 14 points led by six from Lili Thompson, and grabbing 11 rebounds, led by seven from Kailee Johnson.
• Stanford's total of 21 personal fouls was its highest since committing 24 in a 67-55 loss to California on Jan. 13, 2013 at Maples Pavilion.
• For the first time this season all available players (13 tonight) saw time on the court for the Cardinal.• Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer remains five wins away from becoming just the fifth women's basketball head coach to reach 900 wins. Her career record after Monday is now 895-204 (.814).

AT&T launches 12mpx Sony Xperia ion LTE camera flagship. Marks the end of Sony Ericsson
The end of Sony Ericsson is here.
We knew that it was coming this year. But since the deal for Sony to acquire the Ericsson's stake in their joint venture has not closed yet, we kinda expected for Sony Ericsson to live at least few more months. Apparently that won't happen.
Today AT&T announced the new Sony Ericsson made LTE handset in its portfolio – Xperia ion. And the Ericsson name is already gone from all the promo materials. It's all Sony now, with a small disclaimer that the 'use of "Sony" brand is subject to regulatory approval'. I guess that by the time Sony Xperia ion ships in a month or three, Sony expects the deal to be approved and closed.
Sony Xperia ion itself looks pretty good and comes with:
- 4.6 inch HD resolution (1280 x 720) display
- 1.5 GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 CPU
- Adreno™ 220 GPU, OpenGL
- 16GB of internal flash storage.
- 12 MP rear camera with Sony Exmor R™ for mobile with fast/capture to go from standby to first shot in 1.5 seconds and 1080p recording
- front camera with 720p recording
- GPS and Glonass support
- HD sharing through DLNA, HDMI and BRAVIA
- PlayStation™ Certified and access to entertainment services from Sony Entertainment Network, like Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited.
Knowing Sony Ericsson's former experience with Cybershot photo flagships, Xperia ion camera quality should be among the best , if not THE best among Android smartphones. But we'll have to wait for some reviews to be sure about that.
The bad news is that Sony Experia ion will not have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at launch. You will have to do with 2.3 Gingerbread version of the OS for a few months, until the upgrade arrives.

HUNTINGTON BEACH The wait was certainly worth it for Servite's Jason Cone.
With his match against Los Alamitos' Mason Kumashiro tied at 1-1 in the third period, Cone scored a takedown to pull off the 3-1 upset victory in the 195-pound match Monday night at the OCWCA All-Star Classic at Marina High. The loss was the first of the season for Kumashiro, who was the Five Counties Invitational champion Saturday.
"I've wrestled him before," Cone said. "We had a plan of what we needed to do. My coach and wrestling partner showed me a move they thought would work. I tried it and it worked.
"My coach keeps telling me it is all mental. I just need to be strong in the mind because it can be your worst enemy or a great weapon. My coaches kept telling me and I've kept working, running … I've been working for this."
Both wrestlers nearly scored takedowns in the early stages of the match. Kumashiro got an escape with 1:00 left in the third period to tie it. Cone, with instructions from Coach Alan Clinton, stayed focused on the task, eventually getting the winning points.
"That's something we've tried to work on, the mental aspect of his wrestling," Clinton said. "We felt that he wasn't there yet, but this was a huge steppingstone of just staying in a match. If anything, out of the whole thing, is just staying in the match and staying focused and working against that caliber of a wrestler.
"That's a big one for us."
There were some other upsets in the dual. At 220, Santa Ana's Anthony Farias defeated Peter Eggert of Laguna Hills, 7-2. Steven Goltra of Pacifica defeated Kodsart Denaro of Northwood, 6-5, in a match at120 pounds.
At 126, Irvine's Ramtin Kianiazar defeated Calvary Chapel's Peter Cunningham, 7-5. Kianiazar took the county's top ranking at 126 with the victory.
The match counts toward the wrestler's 40-match season limit.

Full of adventure, 80s nostalgia, puzzles, and "nerdy romance" Ready Player One ($18) is a novel about protagonist Wade Watts, a man who prefers to spend his life playing in OASIS, a virtual reality world, rather than live in the grim world of reality. Through the novel Wade goes on a quest to find three keys left by OASIS' creator Halliday, hoping he'll inherit his vast fortune left behind. Although OASIS is a virtual reality, the dangers associated with finding the keys are real. Full of action, drama, and suspense, this is a book you won't be able to put down.

In Outlook I'm a fan of the "Pick a new color when replying or forwarding" option, as each reply getting its own color helps me with tracking/rereading complex conversations.
The one thing I don't like is the pool of colors it uses -- some aren't very readable, and others don't carry a professional look. Is there a way (via editing registry keys or otherwise) to customize the pool of colors Outlook uses for this?
The feature in question is pointed out below:

We seriously don't have penis envy or anything, but we would like some effin' pockets that actually work (wallets popping out of our jeans gets old fast). Play up sexy boots and carry your cell or other knick knacks at the ready with LoPockets ($30). So much better than cargo pockets.
I didn't even notice the pocket thing. All I saw were those hot boots.
Hey now...
Great mind think alike. I was thinking to myself.. I want that pair of boots. Come on. How much is and on website it on ?!! That is what I would call a great kick butt and men getting boots. LOL

Embrace China, but for just a moment
Author: Derek Scissors, AEI
Shiro Armstrong recently claimed in these pages that China is Australia's most important economic partner, indicting Australian government endorsement of the US for the position. The defence of the US offered by Australia's foreign minister Julie Bishop and others is unsatisfying, and the case for China is reasonable. However, Australians and others should be mindful that China's current importance is probably transient and there are subtle reasons to regard the US as Australia's key partner.
One way to argue for the US over the PRC, as Australia's foreign ministry has, is to cite the larger stock of American investment in Australia as trumping Sino-Australian annual trade volume (which is much larger than US-Australian volumes). Armstrong is quite right to dismiss this. A trade dollar is not comparable to an investment dollar and merging them in one overarching 'relationship' figure does not make sense.
The stock of investment accumulates over time while trade is reset annually. If only annual transactions are compared, trade is much larger and swamps investment. More important, individual trade transactions are one-time while investment transactions constitute a continuing relationship. Hence trade and investment are separated into the current account and capital account, respectively, in the balance of payments.
There is also a practical reason not to stress American investment as crucial in determining the most important partner: American investment in Australia may not always outstrip Chinese.
American outward investment around the globe ebbs and flows, soaring in 2011 but slipping in 2012 and 2013. To this point, Chinese global investment, while it remains far smaller than American investment, has steadily increased. Further, Australia is more important to the PRC as an investment partner than Australia is to the US. So investment in Oz may not always be a bastion of American pre-eminence.
Meanwhile, Australian goods and services trade with China was more than twice as large as with the US in 2012–13. Perhaps more important, Chinese demand for Australian goods surged as the global recession hit in 2008 and accelerated through 2010. While other countries struggled with government borrowing and loose money as policy responses, Australia enjoyed very effective stimulus, courtesy of the PRC.
Oddly, though, it is trade that illustrates flaws in deeming China as number one. Growth in Australian exports to China has slowed considerably since 2010. While understandable, this is also set to continue. It may even be that exports will contract.
Iron ore, of course, dominates the trade relationship, accounting for about half of total exports and 30 per cent of all trade, including services. And iron ore exports have much more downside risk than upside.
There are two scenarios for Chinese steel production: no growth and outright decline. China has refused to rein in steel for some time. Regardless of whether or not Xi Jinping's government is different from Hu Jintao's, though, the industry cannot get bigger. Overcapacity is too extensive, exceeding demand by perhaps one-third.
If the current government in Beijing is actually serious about overcapacity, as it claims, steel is first on the chopping block. The process may have already started in the top provincial producer Hebei. In that case, total iron ore imports are likely to decline, threatening Australian producers.
Chinese urbanisation will not be riding to the rescue, as many commodities producers still hope. The wildly expensive forced urbanisation program bandied about a year ago all but disappeared at last month's meetings of the National People's Congress (thankfully). While it will still be discussed, it is highly unlikely to materialise. One reason: the size of China's debt is prohibitive.
The same story holds for less-important metals such as copper and nickel. Other commodities could emerge as replacements, but Australian competitiveness in supplying China with coal, gas and wheat is unclear. If metals exports are capped indefinitely or shrink, Sino-Australian trade will be sizable but no longer exceptional.
As Armstrong notes, a painful contraction in metals exports would indeed prove China's current importance to Australia. But that importance will also prove temporary, whether metals contract or just stagnate. Those espousing China as number one may be buying at the peak.
It is true that China being overvalued does not automatically make America undervalued. Australian trade with the US will remain considerably smaller even if China decisively curbs its steel industry. Dollar figures will still cast doubt on the US as top partner.
But dollars don't reveal the full value of the US economically — something Singapore has not forgotten and Australia should not, either.
China has demonstrated ability to inhibit progress at the WTO, but not to lead it. The US is currently disengaged from the WTO but has certainly led in the past. Despite American missteps, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is an attempt at a deeply liberalising, even transformative agreement. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership is far less ambitious.
If the global economy is going to be changed for the better, it will be done based on principles established by the US and with indispensable American participation. China is nowhere near this kind of global partner and does not look to be one anytime soon. This is also part of valuing an economic relationship.
The embrace of China as number one that Armstrong and others want should be a short one.

You clearly accept the key analytic propositions in my argument and I have no dispute with you there.
It is not a matter of me *wanting* China to be number one, as you suggest, but the simple fact is that China is Australia's most important economic partner now, a point on which you agree.
A forecasting game on the Chinese economy is not the purpose here but I would caution against thinking of the economic relationship as all about commodities trade, now or in the future. The forecasting game requires a much more sophisticated analysis and understanding of Australia's role in the regional economy than is given here.
Trade in a large range of goods and services, as the Australian Asian Century White Paper suggests, is set to increase even as the trade in iron ore levels off. Australia will continue to be an important raw materials supplier to China because of its low cost intra-marginal supplies (just as it has continued to be for Japan) and, indeed, as many in the business argue, market share in China is likely to increase rather than decline.
Mr Armstrong is correct, but i feel both of you are looking at short term rather than long term implications and should concentrate on more micro data like the difference in personal savings rates.
Chinese consumers have greater potential for growth now than Americans with a steady and stable manufacturing economy whereas while some manufacturing has returned to the US, events like Detroit declaring bankruptcy, more Americans being reliant on food stamps and the general lack of secure employment with a reliance on low income service and retail sector jobs makes America seem less dynamic as a market and source of investment.
This isn't to discount America's potential and power, but at the moment China's potential as a high end consumer market that'll have greater demands beyond infrastructure and more like those of other first world markets is becoming a real possibility that Australia would be foolish to ignore, it'd be like ignoring Japan's booms in the 60s and 70s or Taiwan and SKorea booming in the 80s and 90s.

Singapore – Lunabee today is delighted to announce the release today of a significant upgrade to its highly successful password manager app, oneSafe. This upgrade incorporates an exciting new "Secure Sharing" feature with the iOS and Mac versions of the app. Secure Sharing allows users to share passwords and other information with their friends, family and work colleagues with complete security by using an impregnable encryption process.
Here's how it works:
The information to be sent is encrypted before being forwarded to the recipient. The recipient cannot decrypt this information until she/he receives a separate message from the sender giving her/him the authentication PIN. This process ensures that only the intended recipient(s) will have access to the information and thus avoids any possible threat from hackers.
"oneSafe has always protected users' passwords and other confidential information with watertight security," said Lunabee's managing director, Olivier Berni. "But sometimes the need arises to share certain information with friends, family or work colleagues. And often this is sensitive data that users don't want to send through an unencrypted form like email. So that's why we've introduced Secure Sharing. oneSafe users can now share their confidential information with others without having to worry that their data might be hacked or could fall into the wrong hands."
Since its launch in 2011, oneSafe has gone from strength to strength, developing new features and platforms to continuously respond to users' changing needs. oneSafe is currently available for the iOS, Mac, Android and Windows Phone platforms.
To celebrate the launch of the new upgrade, oneSafe for iOS and Mac will be available on the App Stores at the discounted prices of $4.99 and $9.99 (USD) for 4 days. This offer starts on June 18th and ends on June 22nd EOD, after which oneSafe for iOS and Mac will return to their regular prices of $9.99 and $19.99 respectively.

According to a report today from Official Xbox Magazine, Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer has indicated that more Xbox One exclusive games could be coming down the pipeline in 2014.
Taking to Twitter to answer questions from fans, Spencer said more announcements would head out this year, hinting that Microsoft could have an explosive E3.
"We will have announces in 2014, already working on the plan," Spencer said. "I want to have a great E3 this year."
OXM pointed to three potential examples of what Spencer could be talking about introducing soon, a new exclusive from Black Tusk, a rumored project from Lionhead, and an unannounced project from Epic Games.
Xbox One exclusive Titanfall has been the subject of much news over the last few weeks as the much next-gen mech first person shoot rolled out its alpha testing Friday.
Word from Respawn is that there is no word about a potential Titanfall open beta before the game drops on March 11 other than it could possibly happen.

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South
America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the
Equator to 32N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.
Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
Tropical wave in the east Tropical Atlantic extends from 16N27W
to 8N24W moving west 10 to 15 kt over the past 12 hours. Wave is
trailing a broad 700 mb trough as seen on the global models and
is along the leading edge of a surge of moisture as seen on the
SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. No associated deep
Tropical wave in the central Caribbean extends along 74W/75W
south of 15N to inland over South America moving west 20 to 25
kt over the past 24 hours. Wave is trailing a 700 mb trough as
seen on the global models and is embedded within a broad area of
moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery.
No associated deep convection in the Caribbean waters.
The monsoon trough extends across Africa into the east Tropical
Atlantic near 11N15W along 8N17W to 6N31W where the ITCZ begins
and continues along 8N49W to South America near 6N57W. Clusters
of scattered moderate to isolated strong convection are within
60 nm south of the ITCZ between 39W-46W and within 120 nm north
of the ITCZ between 39W-53W. Clusters of isolated moderate
convection are from 6N-10N between 15W-22W.
An upper ridge is anchored over the south Mexico near 20N100W
extending a ridge axis northeast along 25N95W to over the north
Gulf coast near the Louisiana/Texas border. Scattered showers
and possible isolated thunderstorms are within 90 nm along the
coast of Mexico south of 25N west of a diurnal surface trough
that extends from 21N93W to over south Mexico near 18N93W. A
second surface trough extends over the central Gulf from 27N86W
to 22N91W generating scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms within 90 nm southeast of the trough north of 24N.
A surface ridge covers the north Gulf extending from the west
Atlantic across northeast Florida to a 1019 mb high near 29N85W,
then continues to the Texas coast. This is giving the remainder
of the Gulf mostly clear skies this morning. Surface ridge will
persist through the middle of the week.
An upper low/trough over the west-central Atlantic extends a
trough axis across Puerto Rico into the Caribbean to 14N72W then
west to over Nicaragua/Honduras near 14N85W, then north-
northwest across the Gulf of Honduras to north Belize on the
Yucatan peninsula. An upper ridge anchored over the west
Tropical Atlantic covers the east Caribbean east of the above
upper trough. This upper ridge is advecting moisture across the
the far east Caribbean with scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms southeast of a line from the Virgin Islands to
northeast Colombia including the Lesser Antilles. Remnant
showers and thunderstorms dot the area from 16N-19N between 75W-
79W. The monsoon trough extends along 10N from Colombia across
Costa Rica generating scattered showers and thunderstorms south
of a line from Nicaragua near 14N83W to Panama near 9N79W.
Tropical wave will move across the south Caribbean through
Sunday night, then over Central America Monday. Fresh to strong
trade winds will persist across much of the central Caribbean
through middle of the week.
Skies have cleared across the island again this morning. The
upper trough will move east of the area early Monday giving the
island westerly flow aloft. The easterly trade winds coupled
with daytime heating will continue to generate afternoon/evening
showers and thunderstorms across the island through the first of
the week.
An upper trough over the far west Atlantic is north 32N
supporting a cold front that extends north of the discussion
area and is generating scattered to numerous showers and
scattered thunderstorms from 30N-32N west of 70W to the coast of
Georgia and northeast Florida. An upper trough extends through a
series of upper lows from the northeast Atlantic near 33N33W to
a low near 31N39W, 29N57W, and 20N65W then continues as a trough
across Puerto Rico into the Caribbean. A remnant surface trough
is in the west-central Atlantic extending from 31N61W along
26N60W to 23N56W with scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms, associated with an upper low, from 24N-30N
between 54W-58W. A second weak surface trough extends from
21N48W to 15N50W with isolated showers within 75 nm either side
of the surface trough. The remainder of the Atlantic is
dominated by a surface ridge anchored by a 1037 mb high north-
northwest of the Azores and a ridge axis extending through
32N63W along 29N75W across northeast Florida into the Gulf of
Mexico. The surface ridge will persist through the middle of the
week. A weak front will sink south into the northwest waters
later today through Monday night where it will dissipate. A weak
low pressure may develop along the front before it dissipates.

Lenovo K860i launches in China as an upgraded version of the K860
Lenovo has upgraded its K860 smartphone, even if just slightly, and it's calling the refreshed device K860i. Very innovative, you'll agree. But a new model number certainly wasn't needed for just a few upgrades here and there.
The Lenovo K860i will be sold in China, just like its lesser-endowed sibling. The new phone will come with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz (that's 200 MHz more than its predecessor), 2 GB of RAM (instead of 1 GB), and 16 GB of internal storage space (which is twice what the 'vanilla' K860 had).
Of course, these are all welcome additions, but as you can see there's nothing really earth-shattering in there. The Chinese company has just brought its high-end device on par with the competition. In terms of looks, the K860i is identical to the K860. In the image above, the white phone is the new K860i, while the the black one is the K860. As we said – they look exactly the same.
They both run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and have a 5-inch 1280×720 touchscreen, are powered by a Samsung Exynos processor, have an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front-facing unit, as well as a 2,250 mAh battery.

"Za'atar" is unrecognized and unappreciated in the American kitchen due to the fact that its ancient cultural significance is known mainly throughout Middle Eastern regions. Za'atar is a spice blend, consisting typically of dried herbs, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt. It is a centuries-old mixture that dates back to the 12th century. The assortment and proportion of herbs vary from culture to culture, as well as from family to family. Additionally, there are significant regional variations of the spice. Lebanese za'atar tends to have dried orange zest, while in Jordan, za'atar is particularly heavy on sumac. Also, Israeli za'atar often incorporates dried dill. Despite the variations, za'atar always incorporates the same basic herbs that include thyme and oregano, which make up the bulk of the blend.
Ironically, za'atar does not actually contain the "real" za'atar herb. Ecologists found that wild za'atar was on the verge of extinction, and in 1977, Israel passed a law that restricted the harvest for fear that the shrub might become extinct.
You're probably wondering how to use this wonderful spice. Well, the most common use is with some olive oil and bread. It is also commonly used on breakfast foods such as eggs and yogurt. Additionally it's common to eat za'atar as is – out of hand, or sprinkled on popcorn.
Za'atar has developed a reputation for containing some medically beneficial properties over the centuries. Some health benefits (such as providing a brain-boost) have never been scientifically proven (at least in humans), but most benefits are backed up by scientific research. Za'atar is full of health-enhancing properties. This is because thyme, oregano and sumac (which make up the majority of za'atar) are full of flavonoids and organic compounds that are key dietary sources of antioxidants. There is also scientific speculation that za'atar can also boost mood and cognition.
Sumac has anti-fungal, anti-viral and cancer-fighting properties, as well as quercetin (which also have anti-inflammatory agents that are effective against cancer).
Thyme and oregano are rich in organic compounds that have antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Thyme, specifically, has an abundance of additional health benefits. The antioxidants contained in thyme are powerful enough to fight off acne-causing bacteria, can help minimize respiratory cough symptoms, and can also weaken strains of diseases that cause bacteria (such as Salmonella).

Beaumont/Port Arthur
U.S. Department of Justice press release:
A 5-year old Jasper girl is recovering from injuries sustained from a Friday, Sept. 12 accident in which she was run over by a vehicle driven by a 52-year-old Jasper man, who is being charged with intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury.
According to an incident report obtained by the Examiner, Jasper Police were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. Friday to the area of Burns and Dennis streets in Jasper in reference to a young child who was ran over by a vehicle and that the driver, Joseph Bryant Adams, was supposedly intoxicated.
While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 6 Americans is sickened by foodborne illness annually, resulting in about 3,000 deaths each year. It is estimated that the overall negative economic impact of foodborne illness in the United States, including medical costs, quality-of-life losses, lost productivity, and lost-life expectancy, may be as high as $77 billion per year.
Bad behavior by two students and one parent resulted in difficulties for an area educator and a bus driver in separate incidents, police in Orange report.

Police in Port Arthur are investigating the apparent suicide of a missing man whose body was discovered deceased in a wooded area near where his vehicle was found on Sept. 19.
A joint operation conducted by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the Vidor Police Department and the Texas Department of Pubic Safety into metal thefts in the area led to the arrest of six people on miscellaneous, unrelated warrants and resulted in the solving of one felony theft case, OCSO reports.
According to sources near the investigation, a Beaumont Independent School District teacher's North End home was raided on Thursday, Sept. 18, in the course of a federal case involving the possession of child pornography. The Examiner is withholding the identity of the suspect due to the allegations still pending against the longtime educator.
From the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas – The former Director of Finance and Comptroller of the Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) have been sentenced to federal prison for federal violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
A 23-year-old Forsyth, Missouri man serving time at a Beaumont federal prison has been sentenced for the deadly assault of another inmate in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.

Small Town Murder Songs
Small Town Murder Songs only runs 75 minutes, but it is a film where no shot is wasted and nothing is unimportant. The director, Ed Glass-Donnelly, unfolds the story in a slow and deliberate fashion. Careful attention is given to exterior shots, music, and the large quotes that are flashed on the screen. This creates a palpable atmosphere, rich in texture and full of life. This quiet yet bold film-making imbues the film with a creeping tension almost from the first scene. It is a tension that builds so slowly that it is almost unnoticed. But when it is, the effects are powerful.
This movie is worthy of a larger audience. Watch it for the way the town becomes another character, watch it for the moral dilemmas, watch it for the excellent soundtrack, watch it for the (surprisingly) emotional impact, watch it for the meditative shots of the land or watch it just for the fun of seeing a great and different sort of film. Most importantly, just watch it.
