Some connectors will fall apart easier than they will disconnect and can take several minutes to slowly work apart. It is VERY easy to break small components that are expensive to replace. Depending on your individual skill level you may have more of a chance of breaking something than fixing something so if your laptop is important to you, please let an experienced technician handle it.

I bought this laptop in Aug 08 and within 6 months the screen was flickering… badly! Then it went away for a few months and returned with a mission to destroy my life. So I downloaded the repair manual and with the help of the notebookreview.com forum I repaired it. This is the film of the book of the story. EDIT – I have uploaded a second video to show the screen disassembly and repair to the other end of the LCD cable.

Everything a micro should bee
Image by suzy_j
In the heady days of 1982, a small group of people got together here in Sydney to build and market an all-Australian computer. They used a Zilog Z-80 for a processor, and gave the computer powerful graphics, based on Dave Griffith's "DG-640" graphics card. Matthew Starr wrote a BASIC for the machine, and Owen Hill sold them, initially as kits and later as pre-assembled computers through his Applied Technology storefront.
The Microbee was far and away the most successful Australian designed and made computer. Many thousand were sold in the 1980′s, and they were in most Australian schools. The advent of the PC clone killed the company off, along with many others, and a great Australian icon was lost.
Here's one of mine – one of the early ROM based models. It has 32K of battery-backed RAM, BASIC in EPROM, 4K of video memory (2K for 64 x 16 characters, plus 2K of programmable graphics characters), and a Z-80 processor running at all of 3.375 MHz.
But it worked. It ran pretty good versions of space invaders, pacman, and joust (Emu Joust), as well as having a really good BASIC. A whole generation of Australian kids learnt computing on these, including me.
I recently cleaned this one up, including removing much of the yellowing from the case and keys using hydrogen peroxide solution and UV light.

Since 1975, the Annunciation of The Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church has been bringing Fort Myers a taste of Greek culture every year at the end of the winter. The Greek Fest is similar in many ways to any local church carnival. Rides and games provide both the attraction and a source of fund-raising that makes the enormous amount of work worth-while. But it's the differences, mainly in food and entertainment that set the it apart from the ordinary.
The 39th annual Greek Fest begins this Friday, February 28, 2014, and will continue through Sunday the March 2nd. The authentic Greek menu provides delights such as gyros, souvlaki, moussaka, Greek salads, baklava and saganaki -- the one and only "flaming cheese." Entertainment also provides a taste of Greek culture including live Greek music by the Alpha Omega Greek Folk Dance Troupe.
If you are a lover of Greek Food (or simply want to expand your horizon), you will want to stop in several times over the weekend and treat your palate to the wide variety of delicious, expertly prepared Greek dishes. The kitchen at the festival expects to serve about 25,000 people over the weekend. The variety of foods offered is impressive. In the sit-down café, you can try traditional Greek delicacies such as pastichio (a lasagna-like dish), dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), Greek-style chicken and moussaka (a beef and eggplant dish). You can also try souvlaki (pork or chicken kebab), lamb roasted on a spit and even a brandy-flamed cheese called saganaki.
The Greek Fest will be open between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the hours will be noon until 5 p.m. Admission for the entire weekend is $5. Children under 12 are free. The food prices are downright frugal for restaurant-quality Greek food. You will not only enjoy great food, but you will be helping support local charities as well. A portion of the profits from the food sales at the Greek Fest will go to the Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida and Meals on Wheels.
The Greek Fest will be held at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 8210 Cypress Lake Drive, Fort Myers, Florida.

NASA reported on Monday that the Cassini space probe may have witnessed the birth of a new moon of Saturn. The findings were the result of observations taken of Saturn's outer most ring on April 15, 2013. The observation provides some insight as to how some of Saturn's icy moons were formed in the first place, soon after the solar system was formed.
NASA scientists have postulated the existence of the new moon, now informally known as Peggy, because of disturbances created in the outer ring system. The disturbances were likely created by a hitherto unknown object, it is suggested. The new moon is too small to actually image directly, however, measuring perhaps a kilometer across. It may even be falling apart due to Saturn's gravitational forces.
Scientists theorize that Peggy is an ice moon that formed out of the material in Saturn's rings and is now moving slowly away from the planet. They suspect that in eons past, the rings of Saturn were much bigger, but then some of them coalesced to form some of the larger moons such as Titan and Enceladus, depleting the rings as they were created and moved away from the planet. Indeed a similar process likely created the planets of the Solar System, including Earth, billions of years ago.
Cassini, launched in 1997, went into orbit around Saturn in 2004 and has been studying that planet, its rings, and system of moons ever since. Saturn has proven to be a richly diverse system. It includes the ice moon of Enceladus, with its plume and possible subsurface ocean and Titan with its hydrocarbon lakes and streams. Cassini included the European Space Agency's Huygens probe which landed on Titan and provided spectacular images of a alien world. Cassini's mission is scheduled to continue through at least 2017.

While Crockett and his partner, Tubbs, utilize much of the natural terrain for their gardening, from the sun to the water, which naturally comes out of their artesian wells hovering around 250 ppm, with a 6.0 to 6.5 pH level, it's misleading to consider their plants a full expression of Central Valley terroir.
For starters, they don't grow them in the ground, but in 200-gallon Smart Pots using a medium familiar to most growers. For outdoors, Crockett uses a mixture of bat guano, earthworm castings, seabird guano, oyster shells and green sand, along with a blend of forest products and perlite sourced locally in the Sierras. Crockett will "tease" out the plants early in their development with simple fertilizers and then bring liquid fertilizers into the mix as they grow, favoring organic products such as Earth Juice and Roots Organic.
Cartel growers in the parks, on the other hand, routinely use nitrate- and phosphate-laden mineral fertilizers in bulk quantities, leaving the unused bags to leach into the soil and seep into the creeks; the ensuing environmental damage from these practices is well documented. Crockett refuses to use such products, and so should you.
For air circulation in their growrooms, Crockett and Tubbs have developed an airflow filtration system specially tailored to the hazards of growing in the mountains. Vents from outside move the air from an initial antechamber into a "lung room" where the temperature is regulated and pollen, pests and other impurities can be screened out before it enters the veg and flowering chambers. "In the summertime, I'll bring my air in through the bottom [of the wall] and then, in the winter, vice versa. It gives me about a three- or four-degree swing when I flower during the days," Tubbs points out. "It's forced through the room, where it comes out on the top through a 10-inch max fan to kind of get a vortex working across the room, and then it pulls the air up and out."
Crockett steers clear of LEDs, since he finds them unsuitable for larger grows. Instead, he favors Galaxy 1,000-watt digital ballasts with metal halide (MH) lighting for the veg room and high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights for flowering. For pre-veg, Tubbs nurtures his fledgling buds in a small cabinet within his lung room. There, they sit on heating pads and feast on the light from a 400-watt MH lamp until the vegetative phase.
As for watering, Crockett's outdoor mountain buds are hand-watered with 10 to 15 gallons per plant. (He'd love to give them 25, but water's at a premium in the area.) On his own property, he uses two to three bubbler emitters on his plants, while Tubbs waters his indoors by hand using the lift method, checking the ppm in his runoff and then fertilizing accordingly.

First year - Courses, Lab Rotations, Selection of Mentor
Courses. First year students in all Graduate Biomedical Sciences Themes take a common 13-week core curriculum emphasizing the fundamentals of biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. Students in the Immunology Theme will continue their first semester coursework with a nine week survey course, Introductory Immunology, which will cover the basics of this broad discipline. More specialized courses will be offered in the second semester. A passing grade of B or better is required in all courses. Students who make less than a B must retake and pass the relevant course in the subsequent year. Students who fail more than two courses during the first year are subject to dismissal from the program.
Laboratory Rotations. During the first year, students participate in three laboratory rotations of their choosing. Lab rotations allow the student to identify specific research areas and mentors with whom they will ultimately perform their dissertation research project.
Second year and beyond - Qualifying examination, courses, journal clubs, research, completion of degree.
Journal Clubs. From the second year until completion of the program, students participate in a Journal Club related to their specific area of interest. The purpose of the journal club is to enhance the ability to critically read the literature and to stay abreast of current findings in the field. A listing of Journal Clubs can be found here.
Immunology courses. Three advanced courses in areas relevant to the student's area of interest are required and may be completed anytime from the second year on. Students are encouraged to take these courses as early as possible in order to achieve the most benefit in their training. A listing of advanced courses can be found here.
Qualifying Exam and Admission to Candidacy. All students, before the end of the third year, must develop their thesis project into the equivalent of a small NIH grant proposal to be presented in written and then oral form to their thesis committee. This is a combined qualifying exam and admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. Students must demonstrate a strong background in general scientific knowledge, the relevant literature for their thesis area and the ability to defend the testable hypothesis at the heart of their proposal.
Dissertation research. After completion of the Qualifying Examination, and no later than the third year, the student forms a dissertation committee comprised of five faculty members (including the mentor) whose expertise will be beneficial in helping direct the research and course of study. At the first meeting of this committee, the student presents a proposed plan of study and any preliminary data. Satisfactory performance at this initial meeting constitutes Admission to Candidacy.Awarding of the PhD degree. The PhD is awarded upon completion of the academic requirements and defense of the dissertation. The dissertation consists of a written document that is expected to include published papers or manuscripts in preparation, along with a scholarly introduction and discussion of the work that has been completed. A successful private defense of the dissertation in front of the dissertation committee is then followed by a seminar presentation and public defense of the dissertation as the final step in completion of the PhD degree.

R&B/Soul singer – Ledisi is poised to release her new album March 11, 2014 on Verve/UMG. The album is entitled, "The Truth," and it contains thirteen tracks. The first single – "I Blame You," was released last December and peaked at #11 on Billboard's Adult R&B Charts and gained significant radio plays (Shown on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart according to Billboard as of 2/1/2014). Chuck Harmony produced the single and the music video (directed by Derek Blanks) debuted on YouTube's Vevo music channel Dec 5th 2013. Since then the video has gained over 200 thousand plays.
The new album can be pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon with an additional availability of another album track – "The Good Good."
"I changed my life!" Ledisi says with a laugh. "With every album I grow, and with The Truth I am really starting to accept myself fully. I mean, I've always felt great about myself, but this time I've gone to a new level."
The result is an album filled not only with Ledisi's trademark soaring ballads but also something unexpected: a generous collection of up-tempo, beat-driven celebrations of love and lust. Ledisi describes the effort as "vibrant, sensual and fun. Of all of my recordings, this is definitely my favorite album ever."
Over the past 13 years, New Orleans native Ledisi Anibade Young has recorded six albums, gained eight Grammy nominations including a nod for "Best New Artist" in 2008, performed six times at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama, and earned a place in the pantheon of the best soul singers of her generation. With "The Truth," Ledisi, known for her rich and evocative ballads says it's time for something new.
The Truth – A superlative. The greatest or most positive form it is possible for a person to be. Taken from the Urban Dictionary
Upcoming Events:
Hard Rock Café: Ledisi celebrates her new release "The Truth" LIVE at Hard Rock Cafe in Washington D.C. on March 11th! Doors open at 6pm. All are invited; so don't miss this special appearance! For more information call 202.737.7625

Dani is the best host ever!!! We had a wonderful time in Barcelona. The flat is wonderful and has everything you need for a perfect stay. Everything is nearby: supermarket (2min), fruit shop (1min), underground (2min) and the Sagrade de Familia (8min). Dani is more than friendly, waited the whole night for our delayed flight and helped where he could. We will be back soon ;-)
Thank you for everything!
Just Perfect .......
Handover upon arrival and departure super time
Nice apartment, clean and tidy.
In the kitchen and everything else available.
We can safely recommend the apartment actually.
Einfach Perfekt.......
Wohnungsübergabe bei An- und Abreise superpünktlich
Schöne Wohnung, sauber und ordentlich.
In der Küche und auch sonst alles vorhanden.
Wir können die Wohnung eigentlich bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.
Good service. Dani was quick to answer my inquiries. The checkin process was very uncomplicated and the girl meeting us was nice to deal with.
The refrigerator was out of order but after I called Dani in the morning he quickly came over and took care of the problem. When we came back in the afternoon the refrigerator was working again.
The apartment was reasonably clean and the bedrooms were acceptable. One room has no a/c but all the other have. All a/c are modern and silent.
We used to take a taxi to the marina and the drive is about 10 minutes and quite cheap. I would recommend Dani and his company for anyone who wishes and uncomplicated stay in Barcelona.
The location was perfect for exploring the city, the apartment was great value for money and I would recommend it to anybody who is visiting the city.
it is not 5 star but you do get a clean and well presented apartment which is sufficient and serves its purpose.
I would not hesitate to reserve this apartment again when I am next visiting the city.
Dani was very flexible and really done his best to accommodate us all as we were a party of 6 who arrived/departed at different times on different flights, well done Dani and thank you.
My stay was very nice, spacious, well located, no noises apartment, everything within reach, transportation, supermarkets, shops ....... Sagrada Familia .... a terrace for gatherings and no unpleasant surprises, take the opportunity to say hello to Dani, my first contact, as José María already received your lady I was in the farewell. I recommend it.
Mi estancia fue muy agradable, el apartamento muy espacioso, bien situado, nada de ruidos, todo al alcance: medios de transportes, supermercados,tiendas ....... Sagrada Familia ....una terraza para las tertulias y nada de sorpresas desagradables, aprovecho para saludar a Dani, mi primer contacto, como a José María que me recibió y a su señora que estuvo en las despedida. Lo recomiendo.
The apartment is highly recommended. Newly renovated, clean, centrally located, well equipped. Located in the 2nd floor is accessed via a narrow staircase or a small lift to fit into the two persons.
The living room is oriented toward the street to the front, the bedrooms situated to the rear in the direction of a courtyard and quiet. Also, from the other inhabitants of the house we have / barely heard anything.
Check with Dani was smooth, he is friendly and accommodating, answered questions and, upon request, advice on restaurants or shopping. For small children I would flat area and not necessarily found with it.
We were 6 adults there, including 3 pairs. That was just right!
Thank you Dani, we will come back
Die Wohnung ist absolut empfehlenswert. Frisch renoviert, sauber, zentral gelegen, gut ausgestattet. Im 2 Stock gelegen ist sie über eine schmale Treppe oder einen kleinen Aufzug, in den 2 Personen passen, zu erreichen.
Das Wohnzimmer ist nach vorne zur Straße hin gerichtet, die Schlafräume nach hinten in Richtung eines Innenhofes und ruhig gelegen. Auch von den anderen Bewohnern des Hauses haben wir nichts/kaum etwas gehört.
Einchecken mit Dani war problemlos, er ist freundlich und entgegenkommend, hat Fragen beantwortet und auf Anfrage auch Tipps für Restaurants oder Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gegeben. Für kleiner Kinder würde ich Gegend und Wohnung nicht unbedingt empfehen.
Wir waren mit 6 Erwachsenen dort, davon 3 Paare. Das hat einfach gepasst!
Vielen Dank Dani, wir kommen gerne wieder
If you are looking at this apartment, I will definitely suggest you to book it straight away! 3 bedrooms (with proper double bed in each one), 2 bathrooms, a HUGE living room and kitchen, all together they make the perfect accommodation for small groups like ours. The whole house was very tidy, with clean linen and towels provided. It is also conveniently located as the central Placa Catalunya is only 15 minutes walking distance away. Dani is a very professional person, always available for any kind of request. I strongly recommend this place!
The apartment is very nice and in a good location. the only objectionable thing is, that Alex (his phone number was also given to us) couldn't be contacted by the phone. Thanks a lot. We had a pleasant stay.
Vere nice host that had to wait for us for 45 minutes because it took longer time from the airport than expected. Excellent location in the centre of Barcelona, although not in the shopping district. Flat on almost the top level with hight speed WiFi and fabulous terass. One of the bathrooms very small (yes, you touch the cold walls with your back when being in the shower) and a little run down; but still ok. I missed soap and schampoo in the bathroom but otherwise ok. Would recommend this flat to customers of Wimdu.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

In Oregon, when two teenagers "sext" by sharing explicit photos, they could face a felony charge and get a sex offender label. It's that or nothing. There's no middle ground. It's time to change the laws.
Two bills proposed during the 2011 Legislature tried to better scale the consequences. Both died in committee. State Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, plans to introduce legislation in 2013 to provide some middle ground. There are no details of the legislation, yet. (See related story on Page 11A.)
Oregon's laws are in place for a very good reason – to stop child pornographers. But lawmakers didn't know that teens would one day be able to easily make and share explicit photos of themselves.
The law in Oregon became more of a problem in 2010 after the passage of Measure 73. Among other things, that measure increased minimum sentences for certain repeated sex crimes. So if teens exchanged explicit photos at two different times, the punishment goes to 25 years if convicted.
Legislators and prosecutors agree there is a problem. The author of Measure 73, Kevin Mannix, has said so, too.
It would be wonderful if teenagers would stop sexting. Because we can't see that happening, it's all the more important for parents to talk to their children about the consequences of shipping sexual images around the Internet.
Oregon needs laws that capture perverts. Oregon needs laws that protect teens. We can't imagine, though, the best way to deal with most teen-to-teen sexting is in court.

Half-Past Dawnby Richard Doetsch
Between life and death, between the deepest dark of night and the first rays of dawn, in that moment where we begin to drift from sleep to wakefulness, is where anything is possible . . . Jack Keeler wakes up one bright June morning to the shock of his life. He gazes in the mirror and sees a half-healed gash over his right eye and a hastily stitched-together wound in his shoulder that looks suspiciously like the result of a bullet. He also notices an intricately designed tattoo--words written in a foreign script--covering the length of his forearm. He's alone, his house eerily silent without the delightful chatter of his wife and two daughters. He has absolutely no memory of how, when, or why he ended up in such gruesome physical condition. Jack gropes his way down to the kitchen to call his wife, Mia--an FBI agent--and to find some answers. But before he can pick up the phone, his eyes are drawn to the front page of that morning's paper. He takes in a large photo of a bridge, the guard rail missing, a skein of tire marks on the roadway. Above the photo, in large black type, a headline that simply reads NEW YORK CITY DISTRICT ATTORNEY JACK KEELER DEAD. From this mind-shattering opening scene, Richard Doetsch takes readers on a twisting, turning adventure as Jack struggles to find out not only what happened to him, but to his missing wife. As fragments of his memory return, and with the help of a loyal friend, he reconstructs the events of the previous night, which culminated in his being shot and Mia's abduction. He has only until dawn of the following day to uncover an ancient mystery hidden in the depths of one of the country's most heavily guarded prisons. Just when Jack thinks he has put all the pieces together and has saved Mia's life, a final twist occurs that changes everything. A thriller spanning time, an Asian people out of legend, an assassin who will stop at nothing to avenge his death sentence, and a diary whose contents foretell the future, Half-Past Dawn is a race through the borders of life and death, insanity and reason, and dreams and reality. In the dim light of half-past dawn, nothing is as it appears to be.
The Thieves of Darknessby Richard Doetsch
An irresistible treasure, two master thieves, and a secret as old as mankind . . . Michael St. Pierre, a reformed master thief, thinks he has left his criminal days far behind him, when he receives word that his best friend, Simon, has been locked up and sentenced to die in a brutal desert prison. Breaking into jail for the first time in his checkered career, Michael is stunned to discover that his new girlfriend, KC, is connected to Simon's case. With a madman on their heels, the three adventurers make their way to Istanbul in search of the mysterious artifact that landed Simon behind bars in the first place: a map containing the location of a holy place lost to the mists of time, a repository of knowledge and treasure predating Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Testing their courage and wits, Michael and his team are forced to plot a series of daring thefts that take them inside some of the city's most celebrated (and heavily guarded) sanctums, from the imperial harem of Topkapi Palace to the tombs of the Hagia Sophia itself. More than priceless artifacts are at stake--the lives of loved ones and perhaps the fate of humanity itself hang in the balance. A globe-trotting adventure that wings from the glittering banks of the Bosporus to the highest peaks of the Himalayas, The Thieves of Darkness confirms Richard Doetsch's place as the modern-day master of pulse-pounding suspense.
The Thieves of Faithby Richard Doetsch
Beneath the Kremlin lies a shocking ancient truth. And it's about to be stolen. Since the times of Ivan the Terrible, generations of Russian leaders have turned the Kremlin into a fortress within a fortress, stocking its labyrinthine underground with secret vaults, elegant chambers, and priceless treasures. Now a master thief has the ultimate motivation to stage an assault on the Kremlin's inner sanctum. Two lives depend on it. Thousands of years of religious faith hinge on it.
The Thieves of Heavenby Richard Doetsch
The most closely Guarded treasure on Earth. An explosive ancient secret. A breakneck journey into the heart of the Vatican. In a small, heavily fortified room just north of the Sistine Chapel, a master thief is about to strike. All he needs is an instant-to steal the most important treasure in the Vatican museum: two antique keys-one gold, one silver-that protect the secret of salvation.... But a surprise awaits Michael St. Pierre deep inside the Vatican, an ancient secret so explosive, it sends him running for his life-from the streets of Rome to a small stone church in Israel-with two stolen keys and a terrible realization: the consequences of his desperate, brazen act are far greater than he could ever have imagined. For the treasure he has uncovered-the gleaming prize buried within the most clandestine structure on earth-is about to bring him face-to-face with an enemy more shocking, frightening, and insidious than anyone can guess. . . . From the Paperback edition.
The Thieves of Legendby Richard Doetsch
In a world of dark and light, where East meets West, a horrific act of violence propels former thief Michael St. Pierre into a mystery that began five hundred years ago. . . . In Richard Doetsch's next unforgettable Thieves thriller, Michael and his ex-girlfriend KC Ryan have been blackmailed by a U.S. Army colonel. They are to travel to opposite ends of China, and each is responsible for stealing a piece of an ancient puzzle: a diary and a compass. With their lives dependent on each other's success, they must face off against the complex underworld of the Chinese triads, a twisted female assassin, and a madman whose only desire is to possess the secrets held within the pages of the diary--knowledge that would give him enormous power and lead to the downfall of nations. Moving from the glittering casinos of Macau to its dark and dangerous backstreets; from the palace at the heart of China's Forbidden City to the medieval castles of Spain; from the seaside mansions along the Amalfi Coast to an uncharted Pacific island, Michael is in a race against time. He has less than five days to uncover a five-hundred-year-old mystery--and to save KC from certain death.

Plan-B Theatre Company is celebrating its 10th Anniversary SLAM, a performance/process/collision in which the company creates, rehearses and performs five 10-minute plays in 24 hours.
Daisy Blake Perry, a veteran of SLAM, discusses the agony and ectasy of the process:
"SLAM is . . . an all-you-can-eat buffet of fear for me. Let's just put this on the table, yes, I act, but I also have OCD, a hard time with change and a strong dislike of the unknown. Oh yes, and this year I started having panic attacks.
And that's exactly why I'm doing SLAM for the fourth time. To walk through the fire. Every time I finish, I resolve that this will be my last one, and then enough time elapses that you think 'Oh, this'll be fun, a good challenge, face my fears!' "
Saturday, May 4, 8 p.m.

SSC Napoli took a huge hit on Sunday morning as the team lost to Atalanta BC at their adversary's stadium. Despite the advantage of slightly dominating the game, Napoli lost 0-3 to Atalanta and their Argentinean attack.
As reported by ESPN Deportes on Sunday, Napoli did not find way to score against Atalanta at the Atleti Azzurri D'Italia Stadium. Napoli had all the stats to win the game, but failed to establish any goals.
The three goals scored by Atalanta were made by Argentine striker German Denis (47th and 64th minute) and by Argentine midfielder Maximiliano Morales (70th).
The loss against Atalanta was a huge hit as Napoli was trying to catch the Serie A leaders Juventus FC. The Naples team is now 12 points behind the leader, still sitting at third place; however, Juventus has a game to play this afternoon and could extend the lead even more.
The loss could also affect the momentum Napoli needed to face AS Roma on Wednesday for the Coppa Italia tournament. Roma is currently holding the second place position in Serie A and going strong, so the match on Wednesday, for SSC Napoli team, will be tough.

Thomas Hamill escapes from Iraq and gets drafted into the cult of American Heroes.
By Jeff Sharlet
First there was Jessica Lynch, then there was Pat Tillman, and now, for awhile at least, there's Thomas Hamill. Hamill, the Mississippi dairy farmer who kicked his way to freedom on a farm in rural Iraq, is the latest American Hero to emerge from the media war in Iraq.
That sounds cynical, doesn't it? Let me qualify: There's no disputing Hamill's bravery. His determination to save his own life and return to his family is indeed heroic, in a small-h kind of way. But that has little to do with the media's attempt to anoint him a minor deity in the pantheon of "characters" with which it sells the war. Who says it "sells" the war? The bottom line. The media must make money from its reportage on Iraq, so it has to sell a story. It can be anti-war or pro-war, but it's always a product.
Hamill and his family should be applauded not just for their stoicism in the face of fear, but for the ways in which they've inadvertently resisted the media canonization. How? By giving all credit to an interventionist God that the press just can't make sense of. Not that thanking God isn't part of the usual pressthink for close calls, near misses, and miraculous escapes; it's just that there's a formula for that liturgy. It's not a sellable story unless God gets his props, but the "peace" and non-stop prayer with which Hamill's family and neighbors in Macon, Mississippi responded to his captivity have derailed the narrative by exploding the "God character" out of his proper confines.
Consider Erica Hill's May 2 interview with Hamill's grandmother, Vera Hamill, on CNN:
HILL: … Have you had a chance to speak with Kellie Hamill, your grandson's wife?
V. HAMILL: Yes, look. Kellie, she has so many calls and she's just had heart surgery and I just was going to wait a while before I say anything to her. And she's going to church.
HILL: Mm-hmm.
V. HAMILL: And I don't go to church much because I got arthritis so bad and I'd have to go in a wheelchair.
HILL: Mm-hmm.
V. HAMILL: And I just look at the preachers on TV.
HILL: Well, I'm sure your phone will be ringing off the hook as well, as well, Mrs. Hamill….
Hill tries to change the subject, since this line of questioning is leading nowhere. Or rather, it's leading the story into the murk of a messy American faith that's all-consuming, fatalistic, and eerily similar to that of Iraqi fundamentalists who claim no responsibility for their actions, instead giving all credit is to Allah. That doesn't fit the script, since Macon, Mississippi, has to be "normal" if it's to stand in for Smalltown, America. Which is to say, it shouldn't be extreme about anything, including faith.
Those who charge that the U.S. media is hostile to the Christian God are missing the real story: the fact that God is not only welcome, but required, subject to a quota. This much religion we must have; any more pushes the story over the edge into the kooky Americana of "preachers on TV." And that makes it hard to crown Thomas Hamill an all-American everyman hero.
So Hill's co-anchor, Renay San Miguel, tries to normalize the situation by cutting Hamill's religion down to size:
SAN MIGUEL: Ms. Hamill, this Renay San Miguel anchoring with Erica Hill this morning. You talk about your faith an awful lot. I mean has that helped you get through and the family get through these very difficult few weeks? .
V. HAMILL: It sure has [helped] me. It's certainly been good. I had a peace in my heart that God was going to bring him home.
Hamill could be auditioning for the job of presidential press secretary – she never veers off message, responding to every question with praise for God. That's ok with the press, but she makes it awkward by adding that she never worried, since her grandson was in God's hands. Within the spectrum of American belief, the serenity with which the Hamills responded to the situation does indeed seem extreme, so San Miguel decides to investigate:
SAN MIGUEL: So, I mean, we're obviously, you know, we keep talking about faith and things like this. Do you get together regularly for Sunday services with your family? I'm not sure what your faith is, but I mean, is this something that you do every week?
Perhaps hoping for something sweet about Sunday services in Mississippi, San Miguel gets the "wrong" answer again: Vera Hamill says her arthritis is too bad for her to go to church, so she spends most of her time – every day, in fact – watching the "preachers on TV."
The New York Times' Andrew Jacobs is to be credited for taking these responses seriously. Two days later, his story "In Escaped Captive's Hometown, Deliverance" ran on page A22 of the paper, next to a photograph of four men seemingly bowing before a banner painting of Pat Tillman in uniform (football, that is) and a little boy dressed in cammies inspecting his American flag. (The Tillman report notes that the football player will be posthumously awarded a Silver Star; it continues to neglect the question of who he was fighting when he died. Such details are irrelevant to canonization.)
"In the end," writes Jacobs, "the people of this deeply religious farming community say, the round-the-clock prayer brigades and the weeks of nightly candlelight vigils paid off."
That's a good first step into an unusal variety of religious experience, but from there on, Jacobs seems flummoxed by the strange faith of Macon. "To residents here," he writes, Hamill's escape – in which he kicked open a loosely-barred door and ran after a U.S. Army convoy he heard pass by – "was proof that a higher power had listened to the town's entreaties.
" 'It's like God opened the door and showed him the way out,'" one local tells Jacob. Those who accuse the press – especially papers like the Times – of hostility toward religion take note: Jacobs lets that stand as the final explanation. Indeed, he subtly endorses this idea of an interventionist God, reporting that "More than two dozen religious congregations can be found here, and everyone, it seems, attended services on Sunday to give thanks."
Since Jacobs isn't prepared to report on this story – that'd involve questions about the particulars of fundamentalist faith – he turns to a more familiar matter, the question of race in Macon, writing that "this community where black and white residents rarely mix united to pray for Mr. Hamill's safe return. After a quick nod to those who note that segregation remains entrenched there, Jacob gives God the last word: "'I don't care if they're black or white, young or old, we'd all pray together,'" says an old woman, "Bible in hand." "'lt proves that all of us are served by a great God and that good things can come out of terrible situations.'"
It took months for the real story of Jessica Lynch to emerge – the one about the Pentagon's deliberate obfuscation of fact in order to make her an action hero, and the media's more-than-willing collaboration, as government flacks and media hacks raced each other to report the miracles that would ensure her canonization. With Pat Tillman in the grave, it's a safe bet we never will get the real story – that is, an investigation into who killed him and under what conditions – and so we'll have to settle on a faith-n'-football filled TV movie. Tillman, it seems, was not a very religious man, so his story will be framed first and foremost by civic religion, his devotion to God and Country – and let's not ask too many questions about what either of those terms mean.
Hamill will likely receive the benediction of fictionalization as well, and all's the better – maybe a movie-and-book deal will allow him to really come home instead of returning to Iraq, where, reports say, he'll continue to attempt to make enough money to spring his family from its prison, the bankruptcy and economically bleak landscape of Macon.
Perhaps good things can come out of terrible situations.
But not, in this case, good journalism – the kind that asks complicated questions. Nor, for that matter, good religion. Skeptics will wince at the way the press signs off on a fatalistic faith it doesn't understand. And believers will find that same ignorance condescending. One imagines, though, that Muqtada al-Sadr, watching CNN, understands perfectly. This mix of nationalism, faith, compliant media, and cult of personality is his kind of religion.

With the sharp increase in popularity of e-Cigarettes, deemed as a safe non-tobacco product and accessible by all, the extra exposure has commanded careful consideration as to how it should be regulated.
e-Cigarettes are considered an intermediate step in the journey to quit smoking. That is one of its marketing strengths. In what used to be a fairly free marketplace, newer sellers may find themselves bound by restrictions.
If the Food and Drug Administration has its way, the new vapor industry may just find itself choking to death.
The FDA plans to regulate the emerging, yet hearty, vape business. This will require any elecronic cigarette product produced after 2007 to get FDA approval before being sold.
This equates to hiring experts to medically research each device to determine its impact on health, which can take months and will cost approximately $3-4 million. Each application for approval will require 5,000 hours of processing time.
Considering the size of most e-cig establishments, most will not carry the clout to foot the bill to get approved; and although several states have bans on vending these vapor machines, they are popping up faster than mushrooms during monsoon.
"There's no vape shop anymore if this [law] goes through," Greg Conley, former legislative director for the Consumer Advocates for Smokefree Alternatives Association (CASAA), told me. He's now president of the American Vaping Association (yeah that's a thing), and working with other advocates to convince the FDA to revise its rules.
The only manufacturers of e-cigarettes that will be able to pay for permission to sell are the larger tobacco companies, who are hailing the new invention after reeling from attacks on tobacco.
However, vaping aficionados argue that there is a difference.
e-Cigarettes that are mass produced and pre-loaded are just not as good as the ones you get at local establishments. The DIY models, revered by the vaping community, are like comparing a custom brewed cup of java handed to you by a barista, as opposed to a cup of Folgers.
e-Cig manufacturers looking to get past any FDA ruling will see value in persuading the FDA that "permitting such tobacco product to be marketed would be appropriate for the protection of the public health." Stressing a product's ability to help in the process of quitting, and thereby promote healthier living, may help while treading these new waters.

My difficulty is the title problem. In the problem that is asked, I am attempting to show that there exists a positive continuous function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ so that $f$ is Lebesgue integrable on $\mathbb{R}$, but yet $\limsup_{x\rightarrow\infty} f(x) = \infty$.
The hint (title) tells me how I should construct my function.
I'm stuck because I'm not sure how to make $f$ continuous. I calculated my segment for values of $n=1,2,3$ and know that:
$f(1) = 1$ on $[1,2)$, $f(2) = 2$ on $[2, 17/8)$, and $f(3) = 3$ on $[3,82/27)$.
It's clear that the function's gaps get larger and larger as $n$ grows, and I'm not sure how to remedy this to make $f$ continuous. Hints/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Dom

A growing trend among PlayStation 4 gamers has been using The Playroom feature to create and distribute sexually explicit videos.
According to an in-depth look by Kotaku along with some input from The Escapist published on April 9; more people are using The Playroom to film and distribute home made sex videos than actual gaming videos.
Luke Plunkett of Kotaku stated,Give people a camera and a means to broadcast and you can bet that, sooner or later, they'll use it to film themselves doin' some sex. Even if it's using a PlayStation 4.
The Playroom is a pre-loaded game on the PlayStation 4 that serves to demonstrate the PlayStation Camera and the DualShock 4 controller. It also allows gamers to film themselves playing and then upload the video to You Tube or another video distribution website.
Reddit has grown to become the most popular site to share and distribute these sex videos. It has become so ramped that the The Playroom sub-Reddit has been designated "Not Safe For Work" (NSFW).
Alex Co of The Escapist comments on the trend are as stated, I do feel bad for Sony, though, and I can see them acting swiftly to take action against offenders. Let's hope they don't outright discontinue The Playroom itself for the sake of those using it legitimately.
Yet this has not been the fist time the service has caused problems. The popular video game live-streaming site, Twitch banned all The Playroom videos in late 2013 in response to a volume of non-gaming channels.

Combine unusual materials and construction techniques to create this knockout topwater bass bug.
by Craig Riendeau
Nothing excites a bass angler more than a monster-size largemouth blowing up on a topwater fly. The grass and lily pads move as the fish hunts down your fly, alerting you to its presence. The bass thunderously explodes on your bug in a wall of water that looks like someone tossed a brick into the pond. It is a thrilling visual and audible experience, and after the strike, the ensuing slugfest to get the fish out of the weeds is almost anti-climatic.

Trip Easter Egg
Jay and Becca put an "Easter Egg" on the trip itinerary. They wouldn't tell us where we were going, and wouldn't even let us help navigate. We had to drive through Mystic to get to the location of the "Easter Egg" – LOL.
This is the scenic overlook by the road where you can see Mystic Seaport and all the sailboats in the bay. It's so much prettier in person. The camera phone picture just doesn't do it justice.
The owner was really nice and helped us take this photo. I think he felt bad when he saw Brian laying on the pavement to try to get us all in frame.
The trip "Easter Egg" turned out to be Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, CT. The wine tastings are not free, but they give you a free wine glass with your $8 tasting fee. The experience is totally worth it. Just ask Brian and Jay.
Jay and Brian hung out with Paul while Becca and I explored the vineyard.
The property is really pretty.
I'd never had a trip "Easter Egg" before, but I have to say this was the best "Easter Egg" ever! Totally worth the trip to Stonington!

He said that he would much like to get eSpeak working under Windows via SAPI 5, but he doesn't know very well how to accomplish this. At eSpeak web site, he wrote: I've made an expertimental version of eSpeak which runs as a SAPI5 TTS engine on Windows. This runs OK on my computer when I compile it, but unfortunately I don't know enough about Windows or its Registry to make an installer for it. So I need help.

College Hockey:Chucko's OT Goal Lifts Gophers
Minnesota Sweeps Minnesota State
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota downed Minnesota State, 3-2, in overtime on a goal off the skate of freshman phenom Kris Chucko. The goal was contested, but stood for the Gopher victory.
"We have been talking about it all week. Try and go to the net hard and good things will happen. It went off my skate. If I had kicked it in, we would still be out there," said Chucko.
Minnesota State coach Troy Jutting had a different take. "If it goes off a skate, it's no longer a goal."
But Minnesota coach Don Lucia thought otherwise.
"Not to my knowledge. It's the same as your shoulder or leg. You just can't kick it in," said Lucia. "The referee called it a goal right away."
From the replay it appeared Chucko was just starting to turn away from the net as he approached the crease on the centering pass from senior Garrett Smaagaard. The puck hit his skate and deflecting in, beating Mavericks netminder Jon Volp at 1:48 of overtime.
"It's always tough to swallow an overtime loss," said Jutting.
Nonetheless, for the Mavericks it was a much better defensive effort than their 9-2 Friday night loss.
"I think we were 100 percent better defensively tonight. We played smart," said Jutting.
Lucia agreed. "We had to work hard tonight. There was not much space 5-on-5. They played much tighter. They probably got their butts chewed for last night."
The more defensive game caused for a slow start for both teams, as crowd spotting was one of the only highlights of the first period, which was marred by penalties and dismal power plays.
Minnesota failed to muster a shot on goal for the first 15 minutes of the stanza, while the Mavericks squandered a minute of 5-on-3 midway through the period.
Eventually, though, the ghosts and goblins of Halloween came out a night early at Mariucci to provide the excitement for Gopher fans. A glance through the crowd revealed Batman, the Green Hornet, Marilyn Monroe, Ninja Turtles, M&M's, a butterfly, a nurse, a hippie, a convict, a few princesses, men in drag — or were they just ugly princesses? — and a blind referee.
If one looked hard enough they might have found Waldo. Goldy the Ghost even entertained the crowd in the first intermission.
The hometown skaters did provide a treat for the crowd by scoring the only goal of the period on their third shot at 15:51, by freshman defenseman Derek Peltier on the power play. Peltier cheated in from the right point on the weak side, and Gino Guyer found him on a cross-ice centering pass.
Despite having to kill off three minor penalties, Minnesota State carried the play in the second. The Mavericks had numerous quality scoring chances on fast breaks, but seemed to suffer from a case of bad puck luck.
Minnesota showed its youth with numerous mistakes, and simply could not put together consecutive passes, even on the man-advantage. The Mavericks beat the Gophers to loose pucks and caused the inexperienced Gophers to make bad decisions with the puck.
"They did a good job pressuring us," said Lucia.
The Mavericks' hustle finally paid off at 3:34 of third when David Backes forced a turnover by Minnesota defenseman Chris Harrington at the right blueline. Backes stole the puck on a pass off the boards and broke in one-on-one with Harrington, beating Minnesota netminder Kellen Briggs to his glove side on a screened shot.
That goal opened up the game for both teams. Minnesota continued the third period fireworks when sophomore sniper Ryan Potulny tapped in the rebound off a Tyler Hirsch shot at 7:18 on the power play.
The Mavericks tied it up on a power-play goal at 12:39 on Backes' second of the game. It was a beautiful 1-2-3 goal where Minnesota State moved the puck around the circle. Steve Johns and Kurtis Kisio were credited on the assists.
Next week Minnesota State plays host to Bemidji State, while Minnesota faces off against rival Wisconsin at home.

Since the dawn of human existence wars over land, resources and religious beliefs have segregated populations creating vast instability and inequality. Our primitive notion on life has created a system of win or lose odds. Who ever can obtain the most wins, if
someone else has something we do not,we lose.This back and forth game we play has hindered our ability to grow and prosper as a human race. If we can change our global attitude to a system of win/win a a greater more successful future is much more attainable.
Changing how the world views and treats women is one step closer towards a greater future. A shocking 70 percent of people living in poverty are women. Giving women access to good affordable health care, a decent source of income and the ability to become self sufficient will tackle the underlying causes of gender inequality and promote economic growth around the world. Moreover, Research done by UNIFEM and the World Bank has shown that the countries with higher gender inequality experience greater poverty, slower economic growth,and poor governance.
For millions of the worlds poor, access to financial services such as microfinance institutions (MFI's) have pulled them out of poverty and into self sufficiency. Microfinancing is a service that has provided women with the ability to invest in a business that they own and operate themselves. By allowing women to participate in the business market, microfinancing helps to engender productivity and maximize economic output. Furthermore, studies have found that the majority of the income women earn is more likely than men to be put into the household and family needs including health care, education and food.
Microfinancing may provide many women with greater opportunities to achieve a higher financial status and become less dependable, but most importantly they focus on promoting change at the individual level. In order for microfinancing to become an agent of change for women, it must begin with the individual creating a powerful impact within their own community. Historically women have suffered from disadvantages in access to resources,credit,property, and income. With individual successes, women will be able to alter the way they are perceived and treated within their own communities, creating empowerment in a generally dis-empowered world.
In the past microfinancing has received a bad reputation for being ineffective due to
corruption. It is true that when in the wrong hands businesses can exploit the impoverished with high interest rates, making it almost impossible for the borrowers to help themselves. However, the correct hands, microfinancing can open the door for many opportunities. Microcredit can be improved with greater transparency and accountability from lending organizations. They must be able to monitor how the funds are being used and discontinue funds to institutions that charge very high interest rates or have been accused of corrupt lending practices. With responsible businesses running the microfinance institutions, ground-up development becomes highly possible and brings us one step closer to creating a win/win society.
