Yesterday, while visiting a nearby Barnes & Noble, I purchased Mortality, a collection of essays and final writings from atheist author and speaker, the late Christopher Hitchens. The essays follow his cancer diagnosis in 2010. It hit book store shelves Tuesday, September 4th, so if you're just finding out you're not far behind the curve!
As I hold the book, a choking sense of sadness grips my chest. I only intend to read it under the most appropriate conditions on my upcoming vacation. I will be posting a review of the book soon, but don't wait for me, go out and purchase it for yourself.

1st grade boy with speech delay experiencing psychological bullying at school
My 1st grade boy is tall for his age, however, he has a receptive and expressive speech delay that makes it difficult for him to make friends (kids think he is older, but when he speaks it is obvious something is "not right"). He is above average in his athletic skills. I have countered his challenges by working really hard to get to know the Moms in my community, invite kids for playdates, group playdates, sports teams, etc...as a result he was doing okay as he had a few kids who are friends. However, there is a group/clique of boys that are very verbal, more mature, athletic, etc.. and will tease him at school telling him he is "not cool," telling him he cannot play games that all of the other kids are playing (like tag) or "making him it," all of the time. The kids my son is friends with are less sure about their social standing, so while they do not participate, it is hard for them to "stand up for him." I am also finding that he is getting "shrouded" kids that were friends with him, are now not friends because they see him taking the abuse on the playground. It is quite heartbreaking, my son told me last night he wanted to be "normal," or another kid (who is well liked). I want to contact his teacher to start some discussion as to how we might help him, but want to make sure I am not overreacting, and to understand what my options are with the school to help him.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
A group of concerned citizens filled the Chetco Community Public Library in Brookings Monday to continue discussions about the homeless and how to help integrate them back into society.
The faces of homelessness are numerous: individuals, families, and unrelated groups who hang around together for companionship and safety. There are teenagers who couch surf and veterans who find shelter in the woods. Some seek refuge at the Outreach Gospel Mission in Harbor, others in tents at state parks and the backyards of friends.
They all have their own stories, said County Commissioner Susan Brown, who is heading up the coalition to address the problem of those who panhandle for food, alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
Challenges facing the homeless include housing — both affordability and availability — mental health support, literacy, work opportunities and drug and alcohol addiction.
One by one
Smaller factions of Brown's new group plan to address the various issues.
A housing committee plans to research availability and restrictions, transitional housing and shelters — and the costs of obtaining or maintaining each type of shelter.
"Housing programs such as public housing and Section 8 require a criminal background check, and landlords accepting Section 8 vouchers may have more restrictions," Brown said. "There is also a shortage of transitional housing and shelters in the area."
Literacy is another challenge, for both those who speak another language or those who simply cannot read.
"It's an impediment to many who do not understand or are unable to read and fill out applications to access resources that may be available to them," Brown said. "It also affects the ability to apply for work and maintain employment."
Mental illness is a major problem, and there are little to no services to help those in need in Curry County.
"It's staggering," Brown said. "Nationwide, about 60 percent of people who are chronically homeless have mental health conditions. Curry County has limited resources to assist mental illness, and even fewer resources to help the homeless with mental illness."
The group would like to see reinstated Pacific Crossroads, a drop-in center that served the homeless, mentally ill, addicted, seniors and disabled in the county. It was funded by a grant from Jefferson Behavioral Health through Curry County Human Services, but when the grant money expired, the center was forced to limit its outreach services as it downsized, Brown said.
This new group plans to research funding for a new location to provide a safe place where individuals can foster independence, friendships, and to offer resources, information and advocacy for a better future.
Other issues the group plans to tackle are trash and panhandling, the most visible and complained-about problems in connection with the homeless in Curry County.
"Unsightly trash left behind to be cleaned up by someone else is unacceptable," Brown said. "There are many volunteers who clean up after transients, and are looking for a better solution. Brookings has a healthy tourism industry and there is concern about visitors being offended by trash left by transients and panhandlers on the street."
The group agreed there should be options for those "flying their signs" seeking food or clothing.
"The cash isn't being used for basic needs," Brown said, adding that the group is working to get local merchants to participate in a coupon- or voucher-based system.
"Certificates could be purchased from local stores and redeemed for food, clothing or personal items," Brown said. "The idea is not to discourage giving, but rather to get people to give responsibly."
An incentive program discussed could include the opportunity for work in the community in exchange for goods, or a day-labor program, she said, with a central resource center acting as the clearinghouse for resources.
The group also believes mentoring could be an effective way to help people reintegrate into society, help students with school, employees with work challenges, and overcome other barriers that lead to homelessness.
Another possibility is to implement an addiction awareness program to educate the community about drug and alcohol addictions that often go hand in hand in homeless populations.
"It's a major cause of individuals and families becoming homeless and staying on the streets," Brown said. "And recovery is challenging even in the best of environments, much less while homeless. It is a complicated problem intertwined with issues of poverty, unemployment, lack of affordable housing and mental illness."
The next meeting, which is open to the public, is slated for 7 p.m. Jan. 29 at the Western Beachfront Inn in Harbor.

Pencil, Mechanical, Garland 35-P, Collins, Apollo 11
For taking notes and making alterations to flight plans during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, astronauts were issued sturdy metal mechanical pencils for their flights. NASA purchased a number of these from Lew Manufacturing of Rhode Island for the Apollo and Skylab programs. It is made of polished chrome with a twist-motion to advance the lead, and a piece of velcro was added to allow attachment to the inside of the spacecraft or other objects.
NASA transferred this pencil to the Museum in 1984.

From report to integrated fix in 9 hours - not bad! Especially since this was on a Sunday. Lots of people were involved in this, but the one how deserve the most praise is Dan McDonald.
Apart from this, the event resulted in a spree of emails on how we can improve - everything from the bug/development/rti process, to the external communication. I think we handled this first OpenSolaris fire drill very well, but it is far from perfect. We can certainly do better on the communications part - one should always strive to better oneself!
If you have feedback and/or suggestions on what we can/should improve in this process, let us know by posting here.

Summer youth unemployment rate lowest since 1969
August 24, 2000
The unemployment rate among youth 16 to 24 years old was 9.6 percent in July. This is the lowest summer youth unemployment rate since 1969.
In July, jobless rates were 9.7 percent for young men, 9.5 percent for women, 7.8 percent for white youth, and 20.3 percent for black youth. These rates were all slightly lower than in 1999, following the downward trend of recent years.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Because the focus of this analysis is the seasonal changes in youth employment and unemployment that occur every spring and summer, the data are not seasonally adjusted. Find out more in "Employment and Unemployment Among Youth -- Summer 2000," news release USDL 00-243.

Number: 51 (Dean) - 55 (Mitchell)
Height: 6-0 (Dean) - 6-3 (Mitchell)
Weight: 226 (Dean) - 249 (Mitchell)
College: Valdosta State (Dean) - Tennessee (Mitchell)
Experience: 3 (Dean) - 7 (Mitchell)
2013 Statistics: 16 games, 13 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery (Dean) - 16 games, 10 starts, 42 tackles, 1 passes defensed, 1 fumble recovery (Mitchell)
Career Statistics: 48 games, 27 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery (Dean) - 98 games, 13 starts, 171 tackles, 2 sacks, 5 passes defensed, 1 interception, 4 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries (Mitchell)
Outlook: Dean and Mitchell both completed their third seasons with the Vikings in 2013. Both were very good special teams players. Neither proved capable of playing significant time on defense.
Both players signed as free agents in 2011; Dean as an undrafted rookie and Mitchell as a four journeyman veteran.
Both may be pushed out of Minnesota because of the logjam the team has of backup linebackers. The Vikings need starting linebackers, not reserves. The Vikings have three linebackers drafted in the last two drafts and one signed recently that are more than capable of replacing Dean and Mitchell.
Neither are likely to be re-signed, but Dean has a greater chance of remaining in Minnesota.

Word choice depends on what aspect of behavior you emphasize — drinking, dancing, talking loudly.
A carouser is one who "engages in a noisy or drunken social gathering".
A reveller is "one who revels; a party goer". (To revel is "to make merry; to have a gay, lively time", with gay meaning "happy, joyful, and lively".
Some far-less-specific words often used in the context of bar patrons are regulars, denizens ("One who frequents a place. [E.g.] The denizens of that pub are of the roughest sort."), and habitués ("One who frequents a place; a denizen or regular [E.g.] A month ago the new smoking ban turned thousands of bar-room habitues into reluctant exiles...")
It is a slang. The activity of frequently visiting bars and clubs is clubbing.

July 4th is upon us and we will soon be celebrating 238 years of America's Independence. This time of year always sees many backyard BBQ's and American-themed parties. This article will ensure that when the big day rolls around, you'll have some simple recipes ready to bring on the patriotic spirit at every meal.
Your Independence Day celebrations can't start until you have had breakfast to prepare you for the long day of festivities head. Pancakes are an all-American favorite and seem like the perfect breakfast food to start your day.
To create 'Patriotic Pancakes,' simply make your favorite kind. These could be the 'shake and pour' kind or (if you are feeling ambitious) you may make them from scratch. Once the pancakes are done, arrange them on a plate and top them off with sliced strawberries and blueberries as well as a dollop of whipped cream. The fresh fruit and the pop of America's colors will be sure to get you in the spirit and ready to tackle the day ahead.
When lunch time rolls around, continue the Independence Day celebration with Red White and Blue Spaghetti – a pasta dish that would make even George Washington proud.
What you'll need:
· 1 lb. cooked spaghetti
· 1 teaspoon Americolor Red-Red Food Coloring
· 1 teaspoon Americolor Navy Blue Food Coloring
· 2 teaspoons olive oil
· 4 tablespoons water
1. Rinse 2/3 of the spaghetti in water, and then separate the spaghetti in thirds into three gallon size zip closure bags.
2. Place the red coloring in to one, the blue into the other and mix each with two tablespoon water. Blend gently until the colors are absorbed.
3. You can rinse the excess color off the pasta before mixing them together.
4. For the remaining 1/3 of the pasta, add the olive oil to it, so the other colors don't rub onto the natural color of the spaghetti.
5. Mix the spaghetti noodles together just before serving. Note that if you mix them ahead of time, the colors may transfer to the other noodles.
For dinner, you might have some type of BBQ planned or want to spend some time outside in the warm summer evening air. It's the perfect weather for something light and fresh.
Grilled Chicken with Red & Blue(berry) Salsa could be the perfect 4th of July dinner dish.
Red & Blue(berry) Salsa:
· 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, chopped
· 1/2 cup fresh whole blueberries
· 1/2 red bell pepper, seed and diced
· 1/4 red onion, diced
· 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
· 3 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
· 2 tablespoons fresh minced mint (optional)
· 1 tablespoon lemon juice
· Pinch of salt
1. In a bowl, stir all the ingredients for the salsa together and refrigerate until meal time.
2. For the Grilled Chicken, cook it however you'd like. Once the chicken is done, place some salsa on top and enjoy!
Once dinner is finished and the fireworks are only minutes away, wrap up the night with Fireworks Red, White and Blue Daiquiris.
· 2 cups ice cubes
· 1/3 cup blue passion fruit liqueur, such as Hpnotiq or Alize
· 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
· 2 tablespoons blue curacao liqueur
· 2 tablespoons white rum
· 2 tablespoons sugar
· 1 cup frozen strawberries
· 1 cup watermelon chunks, frozen
· 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
· 2 tablespoons white rum
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· 1 cup ice cubes
· 1 cup coconut sorbet
· 1/4 cup rum
· 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
· 1 cup ice cubes
Blue Layer:
Put 1 1/2 cups of ice cubes in the blender. Add some passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, blue curacao, rum, and sugar. Blend until slushy with no chunks of ice left, and add the remaining ½ cup of ice as needed. Place in the freezer while you make the next layer.
(*Rinse the blender before every layer.)
Red Layer:
Add frozen strawberries, watermelon, lime juice, rum, and sugar to the blender. Blend until slushy with no chunks of fruit. With the motor running, add the ice (a few cubes at a time), until thick and smooth. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water if the consistency is too thick. Store in freezer.
White Layer:
Add coconut sorbet, rum and lime juice to the blender. Blend until smooth and thick. With the motor running, add the ice (a few cubes at a time), and continue to blend until thick and no bits of ice remain.
Pour the red layer into the bottom of a glass (about 1/3 of the way). Then gently spoon 1/3 cup of the blue later over the red layer so that they remain separate. Finish the drink by spooning 1/3 cup of the white later over the blue layer.
Sit back and enjoy the fireworks show with this wonderful refreshing beverage to finish off the July 4th celebrations.

Eli Roth's Pennsylvania-set Gothic thriller series "Hemlock Grove" is to debut online April 19, Netflix announced.
"Through the investigation, the town's seamier side is exposed, revealing that nothing is what it seems," a synopsis said.
All 13 episodes of the series, which is based on Brian McGreevy's novel, will be available to subscribers the same day. The series stars Famke Janssen, Bill Skarsgard, Landon Liboiron, Penelope Mitchell, Freya Tingley and Dougray Scott.
"'Hemlock Grove' is unlike anything else in its genre," Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement Wednesday. "It's sexy, gripping, emotional and twisted, and we're certain viewers are going to be captivated by its intensity."
Famous for his horror films "Hostel" and "Cabin Fever," Roth is an executive producer on "Hemlock Grove" and directed the first episode.

City v WBA: Paddy Power specials
- 07 May 2013 14:40
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Check out the latest offers ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Baggies...
Free £20 Bet for all NEW Paddy Power customers
With the FA Cup final against Wigan at Wembley this weekend Roberto Mancini may decide to rotate his squad for City's penultimate home game of the season against West Brom tonight.
Squad rotation could really work in the manager's favour. Whilst allowing him to rest some players after a long season, the possibility of playing in a cup final at Wembley will be a massive motivation for any players brought in to the starting eleven.
Over the last 120 years the record between City and West Brom is closer than most would expect. In 142 meetings City have won 59 games to West Brom's 54, with 29 draws.
However, the last seven Premier League meetings have largely gone City's way with five wins and one draw. The Blues hold a goal advantage of 16 to 5 in those games, keeping four clean sheets.
Having also kept five clean sheets in their last six home games, City to keep a clean sheet tonight at 11/10 looks a solid bet.
There has also been a pattern of City strikers bagging multiple goals in these games. At The Hawthorns in October Edin Dzeko scored a brace in a 2-1 away win. Sergio Aguero scored a brace at home last season and Mario Balotelli scored two while Carlos Tevez scored a hat-trick in alternate games during the 2010/2011 season.
Dzeko is 7/2 to score two or more goals tonight with Aguero and Tevez both priced at 3/1.
All three are good shouts in the first goal-scorer markets, too, where Dzeko can be backed at 4/1 with Paddy Power. Aguero and Tevez are both priced at 7/2 to open the scoring should they start.
In the last three home league games against West Brom, City have won by two goals, then three and then four, in that order. If that pattern continued, the Blues should win tonight's game by five goals! City to win 5-0 can be backed at the rather profitable 25/1.
That score may be a stretch given West Brom's solid form this season and the spurious reasoning used to place that bet! However City -2 goals at 5/2 could be a great alternative.
City still need to pick up points to secure second place whilst West Brom seem destined to finish in eighth place, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season.
In summary and taking into account the Blues' home record this season plus recent games against West Brom and the carrot of the FA Cup final, this looks like a home win for City at 2/5.

Health & Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery - Planning for Birth
What to expect at the hospital
You may feel more calm and prepared for labor if you know what is likely to happen when you get to the hospital.
Most hospitals and birthing centers have birthing rooms where women can labor, deliver, and recover. Providing that you have an uncomplicated birth, you can probably be in the same birthing room for your entire stay. If your delivery becomes complicated, you can be quickly moved to a delivery room equipped to handle the problem.
If you arrive at the hospital or birthing center in early labor that is progressing quickly, you can expect some or all of the following:
- Your blood pressure, pulse, and temperature will be checked.
- You will be asked about the timing and strength of your contractions and whether your water has broken (your membranes have ruptured).
- Electronic fetal heart monitoring will be used to record the fetal heart rate as you have contractions. Fetal heart rate shows whether the baby is doing well or is in trouble.
- You will have sterile vaginal exams to check whether your cervix is thinning and opening (effacing and dilating).
- You may have an intravenous (IV) needle inserted, in case you need extra fluids or medicine later on.
- You may be encouraged to walk. Walking helps many women feel more comfortable during early labor.
Newborn care decisions
Before your baby is born, plan ahead about:
- Keeping your baby with you for at least 1 hour after birth, for bonding. (Many hospitals allow rooming-in, with no mother-baby separation during the entire hospital stay.)
- Preventing breast-feeding problems. You can plan ahead for breast-feeding support in case you need it. Check around for a lactation consultant. Some hospitals have them in-house. You can also make sure that hospital staff knows not to give your baby supplemental formula, unless there is a medical need.
- Delaying certain procedures-such as a vitamin K injection, a heel prick for a blood test, and the use of eye medicines-so that you have more time to bond with your baby in the hours after birth.
- Whether and when you'd like visitors, including children in your family.
- Whether to bank your baby's umbilical cord blood after the birth. (This requires advance planning early in your pregnancy.)

That whole "Apache, geometric, slightly ugly" fashion trend is still going strong (thanks, hipsters), and though we've thus far refrained from partaking in it, we did just come across this Cut Out Arrow Necklace ($65) by Low Luv x Erin Wasson. It's cute, we have to admit and would be the perfect simple accessory to a few of our favorite casual outfits. It's certainly better than donning a scratchy alpaca sweater three times too large and a pair of faded black skinny jeans three times too small!

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 27 December 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18531227-TC-JWC-01; CL 28: 355-357
Scotsbrig, 27 decr, 1853—
My dear kind Jeannie's Letter came this morning again, and is a great comfort to me in my solitude. I wish they wd get into the way of delivering their Letters regularly at Chelsea, amid their Christmas festivities: it is there, not here that the failure lies: I saw a Letter for you put into the Postman's hand, so as to be due at your breakfast time today; perhaps that also may be delayed till night in the press of the season.
I slept better last night; I am what may be called well in bodily health; full of sadness, all manner of late and early things walking in funeral procession thro' my heart; but there is something soft and sacred in them too; and my mind is in a more composed and human state than for a long while past. I am left well alone in this East room: her Corpse and I the only tenants upstairs. Jamie is kind and honest as a soul can be; comes and sits with me, or walks with me when I like; goes gently away when he sees I had rather be alone. Isabella is the best and politest of landladies; keeps the rooms, this and the next, glowing with fires all day, and almost all night; makes me excellent coffee in the morning &c &c, and effaces herself altogether when not wanted. I have been once or twice in that deserted white-sheeted Place; have looked, in silence, on the sight that passes all speech there. "I'm muckle obliged t'ye" (I fear, it was "t'ye," not "to thee"): these were about the last conscious words she spoke in this world. An hour after, when the laudanum began to operate, John asked her Are you easier mother? to which she answered "Yes"; and again some three hours later still, on his asking her, wd she have something (I think some sip of drink she had often been demanding earlier), she whispered "No": she never spoke again, nor indeed did we like to speak to her in the Presence that was now evidently nigh.— Oh yes, Oh yes, I am bound to be forever thankful that I got here in time! Not by my own wisdom either, or by any worth in my own management in the affair: had I staid at The Grange, and received the news there, it would have driven me half-distracted, and been a remorse to me till the end of existence. Good old Mother, I was privileged to give her yet one faint gleam of joy in this world; and to get from her, as you say, her last kind look; and those unforgettable words, "I'm muckle obliged t'ye"—a kind of summary of all her relations towards me since I first came to her in this world. God be thanked, God be thanked. A few minutes before, she had bidden them light Isabella down. The more I think of that last night of wrestle with the King of Terrors,1 and of such clear insight, patience, generosity, and simple dignity and valour, I am the more struck by it, and the gratefuller to God that gave me such a mother. May I be worthier of her for the years I may yet have to live: no other good, worth mentioning, or wishing, is visible to me at present.
Tonight Jamie goes with me in the dusk to poor old Grahame, whom I have now surely not many times to see again here. We have to be back at nine: the Middlebie Joiner—Ah me!2 I mean to look upon her face once again, and not more. John, Jean &c, they all come back tomorrow night; and next day is Thursday. Last night I address about 150 letters;3 Jamie, his son John & the little lassie assisting. It was as good as sitting in the company of thoughts; as good or nearly so. I have a kind of wish to see her poor small heritage parted suitably among the four five4 whom it belongs to, before I go: after that, Eternity holds all that was my Mother for me. I think it likeliest I shall be home to you on Saturday, late, about midnight; but do not yet know.— Meanwhile I am really well in health here, as I said: two days ago, I got my morning tub of water again, my morning walk &c. Our bright weather is changed suddenly into bright iron frost; the Burn all bridged; such a frost as I have seldom seen in one night. Today already I have been on the top of Stockbridge Hill (the Moor road we used to ride from Lockerby); I was close-buttoned, with my shag waistcoat, and not too warm tho' walking hard. The world is bright as a diamond everywhere; Queensberry rose white and huge, behind Lochmaben on my right hand, I fancied I might see among the dimmer heights the Craig of Drumcore, and old Localities of ours: all was solitary as Hades, silent except for the universal rushing of a strong northwind. If no snow fall till after Thursday, it will be well.— —
Yes, indeed, I do rejoice at your victory, gained for me, over those unendurable Roncas; it is as I predicted always, once you had taken it in hand: that sordid, base and yet immense annoyance is away,—thank Heaven, and you, for really I could do no more in it, and was as good as beaten there. I am glad too you can see with your Glass; provision was for a change of glasses if needful, but it will not be so. It was a great relief to me, also, that you had got your money: that notion of John's, about Gladstone's stamps, had been bothering me since yesterday; and I had arranged to send you today, if necessary, payment for Chorley at least.
Surely this is enough, Dear: I know not why I have written so long, with really nothing to say but what was presupposable I know not whether it is good to write such things even to you.— I have still two Notes to do: Neuberg, Thos Erskine; but a couple of lines is all that either of them will get. John did write to Liverpool, I think, and to Auchtertool. My Mother spoke several things about Helen,5 and had woven her tragedy into her own in the last days.
And now good night, Dearest: it is fairly past 3, and you cannot get this till afternoon tomorrow.— I say again, take care of yourself; and let us both try to be better by these stern sorrows.
Ever your affectionate
T. Carlyle

Teen CERT program trains youths to prepare for the worst
Hillcrest High School students learn how to respond when disaster strikes
Published: Friday, May 2, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 1:10 a.m.
There were a lot of jokes and laughs as Hillcrest High School students folded a cardboard box to create a splint around their classmate's leg Friday afternoon.
But joking aside, the teenagers took just a few minutes to craft an effective brace using skills they've learned this semester in a disaster preparedness class for high school students.
The Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training emphasizes light search-and-rescue, medical triage techniques and fire suppression that could be useful for anyone to know during an emergency situation.
"It's helped me gain a lot of confidence. I now know that I could actually help out during a disaster situation and not freak out," said Gavin Stephens, 17. He lives in the Taylorwood neighborhood, where an EF1 tornado damaged dozens of homes late Monday night.
Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Deputy Director Billy Green has been working with the students, who received the training as part of Foundations of Health Science class. On Friday, he attached photos of people experiencing medical emergencies to teddy bears that he scattered on the front lawn of Hillcrest High. The photos, some graphic, included scalp wounds, impaled legs and someone hit in the head with a brick. Students canvassed the lawn, as they would during a disaster, and explained exactly what they would do to help each situation they came upon.
The graphic photos of the emergencies are necessary, Green said, because it helps prepare people for what they'll actually experience in that type of situation.
"Part of this training is knowing what to expect when you're helping people," he said.
The teenagers learned the same skills taught in the CERT classes held for adults. As part of the search and rescue training, they learned how to recognize light, moderate and heavy structural damage and how to proceed in each case. They learned how to stabilize victims and classify the seriousness of their physical and mental conditions. Students were taught to treat bleeding, shock and other potential injuries.
It was all useful information for Taylor Owen, 17, who wants to become a medic in the U.S. Air Force.
"I've learned a lot about how to treat different medical conditions," she said. I've learned a lot about just basic safety during different situations, too."
The next free CERT training for adults will be during eight 31⁄2 -hour sessions in June. For information, email email@example.com.

During the Weimar period, the workshops were led by a craftsman as a master of works and an artist as a master of form. The intention was to absorb the arts into the crafts, but the artists had a greater representation in the masters' council and this resulted in an imbalance. After the orientation towards the new unity of art and technology in 1923, education at the Bauhaus increased its emphasis on mass production. This pushed the aspect of artisanship into the background.
The practical work in the workshops was at the heart of education at the Bauhaus. In keeping with the guilds, the titles apprentice, journeyman and master were used at the Bauhaus during the Weimar period. The students usually took their journeyman examination after three semesters. This was the requirement for them to start the building apprenticeship and receive the master craftsman certification. Throughout the Weimar period, the individual workshops adopted a dual approach: each master of form as the artist responsible for design and aesthetic aspects was supported by a master of works, a craftsman who imparted the technical skills and abilities related to the craft. Technical craftsmanship was understood as the ideal unity of artistic design and material production.
In the initial period, the painter and art teacher Johannes Itten – who was concerned with the education of the artist based on his or her own individual attributes – headed almost all of the workshops as a master of form. In 1922, Walter Gropius successfully asserted his concept in the sense of an orientation towards industry. László Moholy-Nagy was appointed as the new head of the metal workshop.
With Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche and Oskar Schlemmer , almost all of the masters participated in the move to Dessau. Former students took over the management of the workshops as junior masters. Josef Albers became head of one department of the preliminary course, Herbert Bayer became head of the printing and advertising workshop, Marcel Breuer head of the carpentry workshop, Hinnerk Scheper head of the wall painting workshop, Joost Schmidt head of the sculpture workshop and Gunta Stölzl head of the weaving workshop. In 1925, the company Bauhaus GmbH was founded to market the products.
With the move of the workshops to the new Bauhaus Building in Dessau, the masters became professors and all the graduates received a Bauhaus diploma. In the statutes, the secondary goal (after education) was "the performance of practical experimental work, especially for house construction and furnishings, as well as the development of prototypes for industry and the crafts". All of the workshops were more intensively aligned to cooperation with industry. Furniture and other everyday utility objects were designed as products that could be made on the production line, so that it became possible for broader groups of buyers to acquire high quality and reasonably priced goods.
Above all, this was emphasised by the guiding principle of the second Bauhaus director, Hannes Meyer, who targeted the "needs of the people instead of the need for luxury". The Bauhaus established workshops such as the advertising department, which was part of the photography workshop under Walter Peterhans. In the wall painting workshop, the Bauhaus created its most commercially successful product, the Bauhaus wallpapers. The third Bauhaus director, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, reduced the established structure and role of the workshops by orienting them towards an architecture that used contemporary construction methods and materials.

Continuing my twenty year fascination with northwest
rivers and streams, I explore the dynamics of mountain rivers
through close up compositions of rocks and rushing water in
a variety of media from watercolors, oil and soft pastel to carved tiles and woodblock prints.
As an artist, I have explored and practiced many avenues of expression from painting, printmaking and ceramic tiles to graphic design. My current focus is book design, guiding authors to self publish and helping individuals capture their family's memories and history. Paula Gill

So it's Valentine's Day and you still want to get in a workout. No problem, make it a couple's workout. Rule #1: make it fun for everyone involved.
1. Couple's Run, Ride or Swim
This is a triathlon article so the go-to workout for Valentine's for triathloning couples, a fun run, ride or swim. Make it short and sweet and fun.
2. House of Cards
Take a deck of cards to your local park, your backyard or your living room. Pick an exercise for each "suit" (aka diamonds = pushups; hearts = burpees, etc). Then, start flipping the deck and the number on the card correlates to the number of reps for the given exercise!
3. Keep it simple with a couple's walk/hike
This can be a family affair if you have kids or fur-babies. Go for a walk in the neighborhood or find a hike to take the family on. Hold hands and enjoy.
4. Yoga
Yoga is a great way to de-stress and relax, both great activities to do with your partner. Whether you find a class to take together or you do your own practice living-room style, find a place to put your mats side-by-side.
5. Try something new
Never been skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, paint balling, etc. Go try it TOGETHER. Find something that appeals to you both, be adventurous and go after it.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The "injury bug" that has seen eight fighters drop off RFA's fourth card over the past two weeks hasn't phased RFA officials, as they keep rearranging their roster of fighters to solidify RFA 4, which will mark the organization's first foray into Las Vegas, Nevada.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The "injury bug" that has plagued MMA lately isn't just targeting the UFC. The last few weeks have been equally tumultuous for the RFA, especially now that Alessandro "Zoio" Ferreira has become the fifth fighter on the RFA 4 fight card to be forced out due to an injury this month.

The Daily Start-Up: Are We Better Off 10 Years Later?
This morning's roundup of the latest venture capital news and analysis across the Web:
Today marks the 10-year anniversary of when the tech-heavy Nasdaq index reached its all-time peak of 5,048.62. From then on the market crashed hard, taking dozens of newly minted dot-com start-ups – the Pets.coms of the world – with it. (This is all well documented in our interactive 10-year timeline of the biggest news events in venture capital – check it out here.) As CNET points out, the index closed Tuesday 54% below that high – or 63% if the devaluation of the U.S dollar is factored in. "It's tempting, but wrong, to write off the tech mania as mass insanity by the ignorant and ill-informed," The Wall Street Journal says. Now, thanks to that tech bust and the credit bust of '08, public investors remain suspicious of new offerings. "It's been 10 long years since the economy has created real wealth, as opposed to easy-credit induced real-estate or paper wealth," writes Andy Kessler, a former hedge fund manager, in The Journal. "Amidst all the current confusion over health care and tax rates and energy and banking reforms, maybe it's time that the market transitions back to investments that drive productivity and increase living standards rather than just paper profits." But, says Mercury News columnist Chris O'Brien, "perhaps the best sign of the new attitude" in Silicon Valley is that companies like Facebook aren't rushing to go public….
Norwest Venture Partners is finally putting to work the massive (for these times) $1.2 billion venture/growth fund it raised late last year. Sister blog Digits reports the first investment from that fund is a $35 million financing for New York-based data warehousing and business intelligence firm 1010data, founded in 2000 by two Wall Street veterans….
A number of companies on WSJ's "The Next Big Thing" list are working in the datacenter, and with good reason. A flood of digital information – messages, files, photos, video – is crippling many companies' computer servers, which are increasingly complex and costly. That's creating a large market for companies that can enhance the speed and lower the cost of today's datacenters, says The Journal….
Jeff Bussgang, a general partner at Flybridge Capital Partners and a prolific blogger on the subject of venture capital, has written a new book called "Mastering the VC Game," due out this spring. Why did he write it? As he told his wife when he decided to write it a year ago: "[W]hen I was an entrepreneur, I couldn't find any good books on how this mysterious capital-raising process worked and how to harness the resources and knowledge of the VC industry to help build my start-up. Now that I've seen it from the other side, I want to explain to entrepreneurs how it all works to help them be successful."….
Investors have some good news and bad news for game developers. "While new platforms and mobile devices have opened up fresh avenues to exposure for independent game developers, it's still a tough road going from obscurity to a recognizable name and a decent paycheck," reports VentureWire….
Why not play a little Dot-Com Monopoly while we mark the 10-year anniversary of the tech bust? The 2000 game, which can be bought on Amazon.com for about $42, includes all the Internet favorites. Here's MarketWatch reporters Rex Crum and Shawn Langlois playing a quick round:

Fans can catch the games on the Saluki Radio Network over the air or by listening at SIUSalukis.com and selecting All-Access. Tip-off for both games will be at 6:30 p.m. CT. A video stream of Saturday's game versus Utah State will be available on All-Access.
Salukis lead series vs. UC-Davis, 2-0
The Salukis are 2-0 all-time versus UC-Davis, winning a neutral site game in 1959 and at home in 1972. The price of a gallon of gas the last time the teams met was 36 cents.
Barry Hinson versus Jim Les
Barry Hinson compiled an 8-4 record against Jim Les from 2002-08 while the former coached at Missouri State and the latter coached Bradley.
SIU leads MVC in scoring defense
SIU's defense allows just 59.5 points per game, which is tops in the MVC and ranks 54th in the nation. Last year, Southern surrendered 69.2 points per game.
Road Warriors
Southern is in the middle of an eight-day stretch of five games, with only one of those games at home. The Salukis are 3-2 on the road this year after posting a 2-11 road mark last season. A breakdown of SIU's non-conference schedule this season shows four home games, six road games and two neutral site games. No other school in the Valley plays less than five non-conference home games this year. The Salukis will play only one home game in the month of December.
Salukis 28th in field goal percentage
Southern Illinois is shooting .479 from the field this year, which ranks 28th in the nation. Only nine teams are shooting 50 percent or better. North Carolina State leads the nation at .527. A pair of MVC schools are in the top 10 (Creighton-7th at .508, Illinois State-8th at .507).
Transition baskets and points off TOs
Two of the reasons why Southern is shooting so much better this year (.479) compared to last (.414) are its ability to score in transition and off of turnovers. The Salukis are out-scoring opponents on fastbreaks by a 82-23 margin. They have a 163-93 advantage in points off turnovers.
No starter taller than 6-foot-5
Despite having no starters taller than 6-foot-5, SIU has managed to out-rebound its first eight opponents by an average of +5.0. The top rebounder is 6-foot-1 Jeff Early, who averages 7.6 boards per game. Desmar Jackson, at 6-foot-5, is second on the team with 6.0 rebounds per contest.
Quote from Utah State head coach Stew Morrill's press conference.
On Southern Illinois head coach Barry Hinson and getting a Missouri Valley Conference team to come to tournament:
"That, generally speaking, doesn't happen in this type of event. We were pleased when they decided to come. Barry Hinson got the job late and needed some games. The timeframe fit. They're off to a good start under a new coach. You watch them play and they play how his teams played when he was coaching in the Valley (Conference) before. They guard you really well, they're athletic, they run good stuff. It's a very good team to have in our tournament from a very good conference."

Primo Water Announces Q3 Results, Strategic Alliance With DS Waters Of America
Wednesday November 13th, 2013 - 10:06AM

Primo Water Corporation, a provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-serve filtered drinking water and water dispensers, has announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and a strategic alliance agreement with DS Waters of America, Inc.
Total net sales decreased 2.4% to $25.5 million compared to $26.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 as a result of a $0.9 million decrease in dispenser sales partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in water sales, Primo noted.
Water segment net sales increased 1.6% to $17.5 million for the third quarter compared to $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Sales in the water segment consist of sales of multi-gallon purified bottled water ("Exchange") and self-serve filtered drinking water vending services ("Refill"). The increase in water net sales was primarily due to a 4.6% increase in exchange sales driven by same-store unit growth of 8.5% for the company's U.S. exchange services compared to the third quarter of 2012. The improvement in exchange sales was partially offset by a 2.1% decline in refill sales.
Dispenser segment net sales for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 10.3% to $8 million compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. Despite the 3.7% decline in dispenser unit sell-in to retailers, the company realized its 15th consecutive quarter of growth in consumer purchases as dispenser unit sales to end consumers increased 2% to a 116,400 units for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 61.6% to $3 million from $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. The net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of the prior year.
Strategic Alliance Agreement With DS Waters of America
Primo has entered into a strategic alliance agreement with DS Waters of America, Inc., an operator in the home and office beverage delivery market. Primo will assume responsibility for DS Waters' current five-gallon retail exchange customers, including account management, billing and collections. Over time DS Waters will become the primary bottling and distribution partner in the U.S. for Primo's exchange services. It is anticipated that activities under the strategic alliance agreement will be phased in on a region-by-region basis.
"We are combining the strengths of two great companies," stated Billy Prim, Primo Water's CEO. "Primo has extensive knowledge of retail exchange while DS Waters has one of the largest bottling and distribution systems in the industry. We believe the strategic alliance will also allow us to add incremental revenue, reduce our distribution costs and is expected to lead to improved gross margin over time."
"We are excited to partner with Primo Water as we each leverage our core business competencies to create a first-class alliance in the bottled water industry," stated DS Waters CEO Tom Harrington. "We believe this strategic alliance will help us gain increased bottling and distribution volume from Primo's existing retail business as we continue to provide customers with superior product quality and customer service."
DS Waters of America, Inc. is a diversified beverage company providing bottled drinking water, brewed beverages and water filtration systems to homes and offices across the U.S., and headquartered in Atlanta.

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is feeding thousands of Nigerians who have fled violence in their home country. The displaced persons have sought refuge in northeast Cameroon.
WFP is finding alarming malnutrition rates among these refugees. Children are suffering the most. Jacques Roy of WFP says, "Local communities have helped as much as they can but these refugees are in dire need of food and other assistance. We have found worrying levels of malnutrition, especially among children. Addressing this is a priority for WFP and our humanitarian partners."
Northern Nigeria is where 200 school girls were kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram back in April. Since that time violence has only escalated in the region, forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes.
Crops cannot be grown during this unrest and food prices have soared in the area. WFP has moved in to help feed those who have crossed the border into Cameroon. Food distributions began in June, reaching 7500. WFP already had operations ongoing in Cameroon.
The focus of WFP will be to battle malnutrition, as during times of conflict it can threaten children the most. As children arrive in Cameroon WFP is assessing their level of nutrition. What they are finding is deeply troubling. WFP reports, "In one village in the Waza district, acute malnutrition rates were as high as 25 percent, well above the 15 percent emergency threshold."
Malnutrition can cause lasting physical and mental damage among children, or even death. WFP's plan is to distribute special nutritional products that can keep children nourished, even during times of crisis. Food to pregnant or nursing mothers will be prioritized as well. Funding will be critical. WFP relies entirely on voluntary donations.
It is estimated that at least 50,000 people will flee into Cameroon and need food assistance. WFP is also feeding refugees in Cameroon who have fled the war in Central African Republic. The UN food agency is facing one of its most difficult challenges ever, feeding the most refugees since the end of World War II.

PRESENTING: Mired in the Bayou, an Exhibit About the BP Oil Spill
BY: Diane Pham
Start Slideshow
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% Gallery
<big>THIS EXCLUSIVE INHABITAT NYC EXHIBIT OPENS OCTOBER 15TH</big>

 Inhabitat has covered the Gulf Oil Spill extensively since April, watching as the BP well poured millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and utter environmental devastation overtook the southern states of the US. So when we had the unique opportunity to be a part of an art show depicting how this disaster affected the lives of those who lived and are still living through it, we knew we couldn't say no. That being said, we're proud to announce that on October 15th Inhabitat with 99% Gallery will present 'Mired in the Bayou' a mixed-medium exhibit featuring the portraiture project of photographers Michael De Pasquale and Reed Young, with text and audio by journalist Erin Sheehy; and an installation by artist Graham Holly. Mired in the Bayou reveals not only the current situation of a place, but the history and dynamics of Bayou La Batre, a town now in despair. If you're in New York City this day, please join us for the opening reception of this amazing exhibit at 99% Gallery. Until then you can jump ahead for a sneak peek of the exhibit.1
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryALAN CLARK is an oysterman who worked for the BP Vessels of Opportunity program, which offers between $1,200 and $3,000 a day to local boat owners who help with the oil cleanup. Crew members make an additional $200 a day. Alan has been dissatisfied with BP's hiring policies, which initially did not privilege fisherman who, like Alan, were unable to work after the spill. The average yearly household income in Bayou La Batre is under $25,000. Alan's son's first invoice was for $23,000. He came home with $17,000 cash in his pocket and took the day off to shop for a Hummer.2
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryDo you think your kids will stay here?
 "I don't know. I won't encourage them to. What would keep them here? Seafood used to be good. It used to be lucrative business and there was potential to do something with it: big oyster shucking houses,shrimp shops, catering, your supply houses. At one time there was a lot of work. But now it's just falling falling, falling, and I don't know what else this area would have to offer."
 Alan's items: boat oil filter, plastic bags, plastic sandwich box, cleanup gloves, oil-soaked rags, oil-soaked boat flare, beer can, candy wrapper3
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryKYONG "KATHY" KIM came to the United States from Korea in 1969. She attended college, then married a Colonel in the US Army and lived in Virginia until two and a half years ago, when she opened a crab shop in Bayou La Batre. Her shop has been closed since the BP oil spill, and she has no plans to reopen it. She is moving to Mobile and collecting social security. All of her friends and family live in Virginia, but here, she says, "the price is right." Kathy makes beaded sculptures that sometimes sell for as much as $350. She says she is especially attached to her dog Cutie because she has no friends down here.4

- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryERVIN ROYAL is a metal scrapper from Coden, an unincorporated community that is contiguous with Bayou La Batre. Most of his customers are commercial fishermen. Ervin's fishpond was salinated after it was flooded with Gulf water during Hurricane Katrina. It is now a brilliant blue. Ernest Montgomery (left) is pictured here with Ervin (right), the former fire chief of Bayou La Batre. They've known each other for over 50 years.6
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% Gallery"During the years back, there was no blacks on the boats, the shrimp boats. Well, they wouldn't let them on the boats up to about the middle sixties, '66, okay, that's when the blacks began to work on the shrimp boats. I think what broke that in was, you had about a dozen boats that came in from Florida. See Florida had black captains on the boats and black crews and they would sort of mix it up. But this part of Alabama, the only thing the black guys would do is unload the boats when they come in. They could go and unload them and if they need some repairs they'd let them do them, but when the boat get ready, get fueled up, get ready to go back out, they couldn't go."
 Ervin's items: oyster shell, paintbrush, half-melted wires, spark plug, rag, metal rods, crushed shotgun shell, boat flare, melted wire, junction, hand-welded metal bracket, car lights and fuse, model plate, fallen leaf, rust, sand, dirt7
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryArtist Graham Holly compliments Mired in the Bayou with an installation that explores the physical condition of the Louisiana coastline on a more intimate scale.8
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryGraham's intent was to experience the effects of oil first hand, bringing that experience back to viewers and concerned citizens in New York and abroad.9
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryOnce reaching the coast at Pass a'Loutre, Graham was met with a headache inducing oil sheen and overtaken by boundless amount of oil -- he procured five samples of weathered crude from the beach and water at both Grand Isle, and East Grand Terre.10
- Mired in the Bayou Inhabitat Exhibit at 99% GalleryThe samples were stored in five gallon paint buckets and then driven to New York to be shown in newly fashioned plexiglass displays five days later on June 10th. Today, theses pieces continue to provide viewers with an opportunity to observe the actual crude emitted from the severed BP oil well head11

- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanIt's only been 3 months since a devastating earthquake and tsunami ripped through Japan, but the horrifying images have already begun to fade from the news and the public's mind - a situation that unfortunately isn't rare following these types of catastrophic events. But as fewer and fewer mentions of the disaster appear in the media and donations have stopped pouring in, the fact remains that thousands of Japanese are still homeless or living in emergency shelters without a real roof over their heads. Just because we no longer see photos of these displaced people on the five o'clock news doesn't mean that they've stopped suffering.2
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanFortunately, there are groups of talented and passionate people making it their job to help and rebuild, such as design non-profit Architecture For Humanity. AFH members have been hard at work collecting donations and trying to help the Japanese people rebuild their homes and communities by initiating local design-build projects that have a big social and community impact. One such project currently underway is the rebuilding of the Hikado Marketplace in Motoyoshi, Japan, which is a community marketplace for food and drink vendors made from debris wood scavenged from the tsunami.3
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanThe Hikado marketplace project was born when AFH design fellow Hiromi Tabei and a colleague were dispatched to Motoyoshi to see what could be done there to alleviate the small fishing community's troubles after the tsunami, which ranged from destroyed homes to much of the population being unable to work because so many boats were demolished. 50 temporary housing units had already been planned for the area so the decision was made that what the villagers really needed was a place to gather, converse, maybe grab a beer or some tea, and regain some sense of normalcy at a time that simply could not be called normal.4
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanThe plan developed further to include food stands and a wooden deck, all facing a beach that is, at last, peaceful - a sign that maybe things could get back to how they once were.5
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanThe marketplace, which will act as the new community center for the village, is being built out of materials that once made up the homes that stood there.6
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanTeam members have been collecting things like wooden beams, some over 100 years old, and shingles to reuse on the marketplace.7
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanAs Americans say, "When life gives you lemons...make lemonade" the Japanese might now say "When a tsunami leaves you with scattered pieces of wood...use them to rebuild your town." Aside from being much more sustainable than trucking in new materials from elsewhere, the act of using these salvaged pieces of wreckage symbolizes the resourcefulness and resiliency of the Japanese people.8
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanWe spoke to Tabei, who was born in Japan and came to the US to study cartography and architecture, about the marketplace and she sounded confident that it would be completed in a timely fashion.9
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in Japan"We're working with some really talented carpenters," she explained.10
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanMany of the craftspeople they've employed are local, making the project even more personal, with the workers knowing that their friends and family are counting on them to get the marketplace up and running.11
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanWe've read that Tabei herself, who is based in San Francisco, gets to work in the morning and doesn't leave until "Japan wakes up".12
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanThough still a work in progress, the marketplace is coming together nicely and there is even a mobile ramen noodle shop (run by a Hatakeyama-san) that is already up and running. Several of the neighborhood shops that had their storefronts destroyed by the tsunami have already signed up for stalls in the new marketplace. The unofficial deadline of completion for the project is August, when the townspeople hold their annual summer festival, and from the sound of it, they'll have a lovely new deck overlooking the ocean surrounded by tasty treats to celebrate it on.13
- Hikado Marketplace - Architecture For Humanity Rebuilding in JapanAs a website whose motto is "Design Will Save the World," we can't think of a more fitting example than Architecture for Humanity's work of what we mean when we say that.

The world gets its first glimpse of the PS Vita 2000 and Sony's TV connector box - although full release dates are not revealed.
12:05, UK, Tuesday 10 September 2013
Sony has launched a slimmed-down version of its PlayStation Vita handheld console - and another device it hopes will compete with Apple TV.
Unveiled ahead of the Tokyo Game Show, the PCH-2000 is 20% thinner and 15% lighter than the original model and features a 1GB internal memory card.
It has an extra hour of battery life and is designed to be "more casual and friendly for a wider range of users".
But while it will be available to Japanese users for 41,979 yen (£270) in six colours from October 10, no release date has been given for the UK and other countries.
Also unveiled at the event was Sony's TV connector box, PS Vita TV, which measures 6cm by 10cm.
Competing against Apple TV, Sky's NOW TV box and Google Chromecast, the device plugs into the TV, allowing users to play Vita and PSP games along with music and video streaming.
PlayStation controllers can also be used with PS Vita TV, while it is expected it will also be possible to connect it with the forthcoming PS4.
Sony has also announced that the much-anticipated new PlayStation console will be released in the US before Japan, the first time its declining home market has taken second place.
The company released earlier versions of the PlayStation at home before making it available overseas.
But the firm said the PS4 would be available in Japan in late February, several months after its November 15 release in North America.
The eighth-generation console will be released in Europe on November 29.

WAYNE (LALATE) – Melissa Gorga (photos below) joins Real Housewives of New Jersey with Giuseppe Gorga, Teresa Guidice's brother, next season. The pictures and fame coming to Melissa Gorga is something multiple reports have claimed Teresa has blocked since the series' inception.
As reported all week on LALATE, when Danielle Staub said on the Real Housewives of NJ reunion "Did you acknowledge your nephew?", Staub said it for a reason. It wasn't Danielle Staub running her mouth illogically. Rather Staub's question is consistent with online reports that Teresa does not speak to her Melissa Gorga. So why did Teresa get so upset? Teresa allegedly does not want Gorga on the show.
Melissa Gorga Pictures
Melissa Gorga Photo 1
Melissa Gorga Photo 2
Melissa Gorga Photo 3
Teresa Guidice was quick to defend herself saying she was at the hospital when Gorga's child (Teresa's nephew) was born. But Teresa doesn't mention Gorga by name, nor even mention it was her brother's wife that Danielle was referring to. Teresa has previously said of Danielle that she "does need to keep their names out of her mouth." But reportedly, Teresa doesn't want Gorga's mouth, nor face, to be seen on Real Housewives either. "They deserve their privacy" blogged Teresa after the reference to Gorga. Really? News reports have since verified that the Gorgas have been in public taping the next season of the show
Teresa says of Danielle "that she had been digging around my extended family and trying to find dirt on me." Forget Staub, Teresa's family members are doing the work telling Radar Online "Teresa and Melissa don't get along …They don't speak" and claiming Teresa has said "If she's going to be on the show, then I'm not going to do it!"

For many many years we were one scoring winger away from the cup. We got it in Franzen for '08, cup and almost another. I agree with NHL.com, one right handed D man who can take some of the load of Kronner and we'll be in serious contention.
The health of Weiss is pivotal. A healthy Weiss presents some serious match up issues for clubs. Really we need another Franzen kinda situation,.......we need a guy like oulette or sproul or hell even smith to come out of no where and hit next level. Achieve a ceiling none of us thought possible.

Hold on to your wedding gift card. One of Hollywood's most powerful couples just tied the knot. News is slowly trickling in that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had secretly gotten married on Saturday at their estate Chateau Mirval in Correns, France, according to a spokesman for the pair. Their marriage license had been obtained by a California judge who also conducted the private ceremony which was attended by an intimate group of family and friends. Pitt's manager said: "Yes, it's confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy."
The wedding day arrives after nine years of dating, two years being engaged and six kids later. And speaking of the children, it is also reported that Jolie was escorted down the aisle by her sons Maddox and Pax while Zahara and Vivienne participated by throwing flower petals. Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers.
During an interview in 2012, Pitt told the Associated Press regarding marrying the 39-year-old actress: "It's an exciting prospect, even though for us, we've gone further than that. But to concretize it in that way, it actually means more to me than I thought it would. It means a lot to our kids."
Jolie told People magazine in May of 2014, "We're just waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right."
Pitt, 50, collaborated with jeweler Robert Procop on the design of Jolie's ring. This is Pitt's second marriage with his first being to actress Jennifer Aniston in 2000. Jolie has been married to Jonny Lee Miller who plays Sherlock Holmes on CBS's "Elementary" and to Billy Bob Thornton formerly of FX's "Fargo" series. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are now officially Mr. and Mrs. Brad Pitt.

- " The hostel was really nice and it's located really central, in the old town. I really liked the terrace, was nice sitting there and chatting with other hotel guests. I was there with three friends and we booked the 10 bed female room. Actually, the room is separated in two separate rooms - so we only had 4 beds in our part, was nice. I would really recommend it.

- " The hostel itself was great, but is directly above a bar so it can be pretty noisy at night. If you are someone who would like to sleep at a relatively early hour I would recommend ear plugs. "

- " Location was excellent in the heart of old town and really close to the railway station and bus station. Staff was really nice and helpful. They organized a bbq-night at the hostel and the atmosphere was good. Only poor thing were the showers. I would choose the same hostel again! "

- " Excellent hostel and very good price compared to similar hostels in neighbourhood. One issue was the distribution of electricity sockets in the room. Some beds had 5 sockets and others had zero so you had to plug your things into sockets by other peoples beds. The only other issue are the floor standing lockers. They would be the perfect size to fit your entire backback inside but unfortunately they have metal shelves inside which means you need to empty your backpack onto the shelves. "
