HTC Touch Find, rounded version of HTC Cruise
A family of HTC Touch devices seems to be growing bigger and bigger.
Only last week we told you about 3 upcoming additions to this line – HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro and HTC Touch Pro Dual. And today we have another one – HTC Touch Find.
I'd like to say that HTC Find is an upgrade to a location focused HTC Touch Cruise, but it's not.
It's actually the same HTC Touch Cruise, in a slightly different case. More rounded corners, and overall a bit more sleek case, and that's it. HTC Find comes with the same specs, services and features as HTC Cruise.
The news about HTC Touch Find already sort of got out via Telefonica Spain, though I haven't seen this handset officially announced anywhere else.
HTC Touch Find specs include:
- Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS, EDGE, 3.6 Mbps HSDPA connectivity
- 2.8″ QVGA 240×320, 65K color display
- 128 MB RAM, 256 MB of ROM
- Qualcomm MSM7200, 400 MHz CPU
- 3 megapixel camera with autofocus, front camera for video calls
- Built-in GPS, Tom-Tom navigation software
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- FM Radio
- microSD memory card slot
And if you want to see how HTC Touch Find looks live, you can check out this video:
The price for unlocked HTC Touch Find should be pretty similar to the one HTC Cruise fetches – somewhere between 500 and 600 EUR.

Women's Water Polo Tops Hartwick to Gain CWPA Finals Berth
For the third straight year, the Princeton women's water polo team will play for the CWPA's berth in the NCAA tournament.
The No. 9 Tigers gained a spot in Sunday's 1:30 p.m. final with a 10-7 win over No. 16 Hartwick, improving to 2-0 against the Hawks this season. No. 12 Indiana, which drew the top seed in the CWPA Championship despite being ranked three spots lower than Princeton in the national poll, stands in the way of a third straight NCAA berth for the Tigers. (Live stats here)
Princeton last faced Indiana a season ago at the Bucknell Invitational in a 4-2 Hoosiers win. Indiana has won the last four against Princeton with the Tigers' last win in the series coming in 2007.
Though the Tigers never trailed against the Hawks, Hartwick had the game tied as late as 3-3 before Princeton scored twice in the final three minutes of the second half to open a 5-3 lead. The last goal of the half came from Molly McBee with just a second on the clock.
Hartwick was again within a goal at 5-4 following an exclusion less than two minutes into the third quarter, but Princeton scored the next three to gain its largest lead at 8-4. Hartwick scored 26 seconds apart late in the third quarter to pull within 8-6, but the Hawks got no closer.

Philosophical Control Of Washington State Senate Hangs In Balance
OLYMPIA, Wash. – Two southwest Washington legislative races are headed for hand recounts. They are that close. One of them could hand control of the Washington state senate to a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats.
One hundred and five votes. That's all that separates incumbent Republican state Senator Don Benton from his trailing Democratic challenger Tim Probst. The two men are battling it out to represent the Vancouver area in the Washington legislature.
The outcome of this closely watched race could have statewide implications. If Benton ultimately wins re-election, that could revive a bipartisan philosophical majority that earlier this year seized control from Senate Democrats.
But first the race has to be decided. Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey says the race is so close there will be an automatic hand recount of the ballots after the election is certified later this month.
"The manual recount is really the ultimate test of a voting system."
In that same southwest Washington legislative district there's also an open House race that's also too close to call. That election too will be decided by a hand recount.

I am a mother to two little girls who entertain and challenge me. My mother and grandmother crochet and this is something I learned (albeit not prettily) along the way.

The final report of Governor Tim Kaine's Virginia Tech Review Panel has been made public, and video games are NOT identified as a factor in the massacre.
Quite the opposite, in fact. The only game cited as being played by Cho is Sonic the Hedgehog. An overall non-involvement with games is detailed by his college roommates.
In Chapter IV, Mental Health History of Seung Hui Cho, video games are mentioned several times, but not as any type of causal factor in the April 16th shootings:
Sun and her parents recall that Cho seemed to be doing better. He was enrolled in a Tae Kwon Do program for awhile, watched TV, and played video games like Sonic the Hedgehog.
None of the video games were war games or had violent themes. He liked basketball and had a collection of figurines and remote controlled cars. Years later when he was in high school, Cho was asked to write about his hobbies and interests. He wrote:
I like to listen to talk shows and alternative stations, and I like action movies…My favorite movie is X-Men, favorite actor is Nicolas Cage, favorite book is Night Over Water, favorite band is U2, favorite sport is basketball, favorite team is Portland Trailblazers, favorite food is pizza, and favorite color is green.
…Cho's roommate never saw him play video games. He would get movies from the library and watch them on his laptop. The roommate never saw what they were, but they always seemed dark. Cho would listen to and download
heavy metal music…
…Cho went to bed early and got up early, so his roommate just left him alone and gave him his space. The only activities Cho engaged in were studying, sleeping, and downloading music. He never saw him play a video game, which he thought strange since he and most other students play them.
The report will be well-received by the gaming community, which over the past few months has endured supposed video game links to the shootings as espoused by Jack Thompson, Dr.Phil, and the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee.

Misunderstandings will run rampant. Red herrings will be strewn about with wild abandon. Accusations will be made. Frayed emotions will erupt fiercely.
All this is promised at Keighley Playhouse presents the Agatha Christie whodunnit Murder On The Nile from Monday to Saturday next week.
Audiences will be taken back to the last century for intrigues, arguments and bumpings-off to a backdrop of about ancient Egyptian ruins.
When a sensational young heiress flees to an Egyptian riverboat for a private honeymoon, she is shocked to see a boatful of familiar faces.
The characters are a stereotypical bunch - an overbearing matron, her put-upon niece, a socialist who looks down on the rich, a clergyman, a doctor, newlyweds and the jilted girlfriend.
Each has a skeleton in the closet and is any of them who he or she seems?
Director Patricia Henny said: "Agatha Christie was famous for her colourful characters, rich settings, unexpected plot twists and of course everyone is a suspect.
"She had a way with plotting and a psychological insight into behaviour that served her novels well."
The Playhouse promises that the story will twist and turn with frightening rapidity, the seemingly guilty soon deemed as innocent and the meek and mild taking no time to reveal murderous tendencies.
Patricia added: "Agatha Christie may not have originated it, but she certainly subscribed to the theatre rule that if you produce a gun on stage, someone better well use it before the end of the play.
"So the minute it does appear, you can be sure that shots will be fired and the consequences will be dire.
"Bullets follow blackmail and bodies follow bullets in this jagged love triangle with razor-sharp edges. Everyone in the audience suddenly becomes a detective!"
Patricia promised that the final scene of a solution that many would not see coming. Book on 08451 267859.

Parking hearing on Oct. 7
September 26, 2013
City residents will have a chance to weigh-in on the city's parking study during a special public hearing before the Lake Geneva Parking Commission scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 7 in the council chambers at city hall.
The public hearing will precede the Lake Geneva City Council's Committee of the Whole.
Attending the hearing and the committee of the whole meeting will be staff from Rich & Associates, Southfield, Mich., which did the study.
The committee of the whole meeting will allow city council members to also weigh in on the study before they receive the report as the city council and decide whether to follow its recommendations.
On Sept. 18, the parking commission made one last review of the preliminary parking study that included a conference call with Annaka Norris of Rich & Associates.
During the call, Norris clarified that Rich is recommending that two-hour limited parking be imposed only on a few key areas within the city's business district, and not for the entire downtown.
The commission had said that it would not support a return to two-hour parking downtown. The limit now is five hours.
Mayor Jim Connors, who attended the meeting, noted that the report indicated some parking lots are mostly empty, even during peak hours.
However, those lots and parking spaces are privately owned.
According to the preliminary study, while city-owned lots are averaging 80 to 85 percent full, during peak hours during the tourist season, nearby private lots are registering about 28 percent full.
Norris suggested the city might negotiate with private lot owners to find a way to get at that additional parking space when the private owners and their businesses are not using the spaces.
While that might sound like a good idea, Alderwoman Sarah Hill, the council's representative on the parking commission, warned it might affect the city's bottom line.
Visitors would park in the private spots before going to the pay parking, Hill said. That might result in lower revenues for the city, she said.
Although the Rich report recommends construction of a parking structure, that was not addressed by the commissioners.
Instead, they continued to focus on creating more parking in city streets and in city lots.
The city would gain about two dozen stalls in the Sage Street lot with a reconfiguration that would also eliminate bus and trailer parking there, said Connors. Buses and trailers could be sent to the lot on South Lake Shore Drive near the McDonald's restaurant.
And parking in front of the former Geneva Theater is still on the table.
Connors said the city needs to determine whether the owner intends to use the building as a theater.
If not, parking may be reinstalled there.
Connors said the city is also continuing to study adding parking by changing some streets from parallel to angle parking. However, streets must meet a minimum width before the city will consider angle parking, he said.
In other business:
n The commission is looking into promotions and finding ways to make parking enforcement kinder and gentler.
Discussed was creation of a prepaid parking card, which would allow residents to pay for parking in advance.
The parking kiosks would read the card like a credit card.
The commission is also researching the use of coupons and parking validation by merchants to discount the cost of parking.
As a way to soften the image of the city's parking enforcement (sometimes referred to as "parking Nazis" in the survey conducted by Rich & Associates this summer), the commission also talked about creating "courtesy tickets."
The tickets would be issued to one license plate number per year as a notice that a car is overparked, but no fine will be issued.
n Members of the city's Business Improvement District are asking for free parking on Maxwell Street Days, which will fall on Aug. 22-24 next year.
In the past, the parking meters were working, but enforcement wasn't strict, Connors said.
However, business people apparently misunderstood the city's loose enforcement policy and told customers that parking wasn't being enforced.
While free parking would clear up communications problems and encourage more people to visit downtown, it comes with a price tag.
Free parking on Maxwell Street Days will cost the city about $24,000 in parking fees, said Hill.
"Parking revenue is an incredibly important revenue stream for us," she said.
n Even as the city tries to maximize its parking, the parking commission was asked to eliminate four parking spaces in front of the Subway sandwich shop, 647 W. Main St.
Eliminating parking there will lengthen the right turn lane at Center Street and get cars turning right out of the lane of westbound traffic more quickly, Connors said.

Dry Skin? No Problem! Try an Avocado and Orange Juice Face Mask
This entry was posted on September 30, 2012.
It' s the fall time and your skin is dry. Already. Isn't it frustrating?! Even though you're dealing with dry skin that is itchy, flaky, and downright annoying, there are special masks that you can make to counteract this problem! Are you ready? Here's a recipe and information about it that will help you get your smooth skin back. Moisturize it and go!
Oh, and remember that this will work well for you all fall and winter long if your skin gets dry again. It's important to moisturize your face through the colder seasons so that it won't become too dry, which will only make it harder to manage.
This mask will help exfoliate your skin, which will allow your dry skin to dissipate and make way for new and vibrant skin growth. Avocados come with excellent nutrients and oranges have plenty of vitamin C, which makes both of these fruits wonderful to use on your skin.
In particular, avocados help eliminate dead and dry skin and will help open up your pores, getting rid of any dirt that may be built up inside of them. Orange juice is fantastic for skin that suffers from acne as well because it will help clear up your current breakouts and it will also exfoliate your skin simultaneously.
Enough talk about these great fruits, though. It's time to create a mask that contains honey as well, which is another great ingredient that will help soothe a sunburn if you have one and also treat acne. Together honey, orange juice, and avocado make a fantastic face mask team.
Here is the recipe and this is what you will need:
1. 3 tbsp of avocado
2. 1 tsp of honey
3. 50 milliliters of orange juice
4. a few drops of oil like chamomile
Method of Preparation:
1. Find a bowl and blend the ingredients together.
2. Gently apply the mixture to your face and your neck with your fingers.
3. Leave the mask on your face for a half an hour.
4. Rinse your face and pat it dry with a warm wash cloth.
Now your face should feel revitalized and ready to greet the day acne free! Use this mask throughout the cold months for an instant revitalization tool when your skin is feeling dry, broken out, and irritated.

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam's news Tuesday of cutting teacher pay raises from the 2014-2015 budget comes only days after Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre released initial details to local media sources of intentions to include 3% pay raises for teachers in the upcoming Knox County Schools budget, according to WATE 6 News. The Knox County Schools budget proposal, reviewed by WBIR on Monday, also outlined cuts in custodial staff positions, the number of contract days for some assistant principals, the central office budget, Project GRAD, and after-school tutoring.
At this point, the implications of Haslam's announcement for Knox County Schools and other districts across the state are unclear but foreboding, and community members are left wondering what other aspects of our public education system will suffer at the hands of state level policy making. WBIR also reported that Knox County School "Board member Indya Kincannon said she was disappointed to learn of the governor's news" and that "this governor has said he wants Tennessee to be one of the fastest increasing teacher salaries in the country. And yet, he's not keeping up with that promise."
Washington County Department of Education Library Media Specialist Jennifer Hite reported her outrage about state budget decisions to Examiner.com in light of the state's failure "to provide schools with the technology needed to even meet all the testing demands."
Several bills like Senate Bill 2057 which "[would require] the department of education to reimburse [school systems] for the costs of implementing and the ongoing costs to use common core state standards and PARCC assessments" are bogged down in the bureaucracy of the branches of Tennessee legislature education subcommittees at this point and have yet to reach a vote in either the house or the senate. However, in the mean time, regardless of whether bills like these eventually pass or not, school districts are required to purchase enough technology for all students to efficiently take the PARCC assessments on working computers within state mandated testing windows.
"Our state continues to put such high demands on teachers and students but refuses to truly support either," said Hite.

The season of giving is under way as the annual Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket fund has collected more than $2,600.
In its second week of collections, the Christmas Basket fund raised $1,720, for a total of $2,620. Elaine Adkins, executive director of HOPE in Lancaster which is organizing the fund for the second straight year, said donations are steadily increasing. There were 26 donors to the fund last week.
With more than 250 volunteer firefighters working in the county, Lancaster County Council discussed a new way to thank them for their efforts.
At its Nov. 30 meeting, council considered a proposal from the Lancaster County Fire Commission on how to recognize qualified volunteer firefighters in the county. In a letter to council, commission chairman Robert Baker presented an idea to buy $30 gift cards for these firefighters.
A trip with 90 World War II veterans wouldn't be complete without a few war stories, and local vets shared a few during the Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., on Saturday, 21.
Here are a few:
Remembering Iwo Jima
At the Iwo Jima Memorial, which features a statue of the infamous photograph of Marines posting the American flag, veteran Hazel Adams of Lancaster recalled that battle. He was on a mine sweeper as a sailor in the U.S. Navy, and swept 224 mines the day that famous flag was raised.
The 90 local World War II veterans who went on Saturday's Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II Memorial weren't the only ones who were moved by the experience.
The vets were accompanied by 50 guardians. Some simply wanted to accompany the veterans on the trip, while others had a more personal reason for going.
Kershaw Town Councilwoman Genny Hendrix helped organize the flight and was a guardian to veteran Woodrow Pitts, who was with the Army's 3rd Armored Division and drove Sherman tanks.
Tinian. Anzio. Saipan. Cassino. Bastogne.
These were places I don't remember hearing of before I began cramming about five weeks ago for a trip with local World War II veterans.
Although I had written stories about World War II veterans before, my knowledge about geography and chronology about the war was always a little fuzzy.
Scott Bruntmyer is hoping to grab the attention of Lancaster County officials.
As a member of the nonprofit advocacy group Friends of Indian Land, Bruntmyer has been working to inform county officials about problems he and other residents are having with four concrete plants in the Panhandle. His organization recently sent a letter of complaint to the county about the plants, which are located inside the Highway 521 Perimeter Light Industrial Park.
When Derrick Watts applied for a job at the Lancaster Walmart, he didn't expect to get a response so soon.
In February, the former U.S. Air Force dispatcher submitted his application and decided to do a little shopping since he was in the store. When his cell phone rang a few moments afterward, he was shocked to hear a Walmart representative on the other end asking to schedule an interview.
That same day Watts was interviewed, completed the required screenings and was hired as a cashier.
The Lancaster Area Literacy Cooperative board of directors has named Kathy Wilds as executive director of the Lancaster Area Literacy Cooperative.
Wilds is known throughout the community for her work over the last 21 years in the field of behavioral health.
She was a founder and former executive director of the Learning Institute For Tomorrow (LIFT). Prior to her work with LIFT,
Wilds was employed by Catawba Community Mental Health Center in the Lancaster office.
Expecting a quiet day at work, Dr. John Catalano was surprised to hear a commotion outside his office Friday morning.
Catalano, dean of the University of South Carolina at Lancaster, was one of only a handful of staff at the school on the day after Thanksgiving. As he was finishing up some paperwork about 10 a.m., Catalano was startled to hear a loud crash near his office in Hubbard Hall. The building houses the office of the dean and other offices.
INDIAN LAND – Indian Land's growing population has prompted some residents to ask if the area's emergency services have become too strained.
That was one of the hot topics at the Indian Land Action Council's Nov. 16 meeting. Leading the discussion was Belair resident Linda Singer, who outlined problems facing the county's emergency responders, as well as a potential solution.
"While we have some of the lowest tax rates in the country, we do not have the needed standard of emergency services that we should," Singer said.

Added a product review for Morewood Bicycles Zula Frame 12/9/2010 4:12 PM
The XC bike that likes to DH!!
The Good: It descends incredibly well! I have it set up with a single ring in the front and it is fast! I race XC and this is my race bike! It pedals well but really likes to go DH! great handling.
The Bad: The only bad thing I can think of is the weight. Its not the lightest bike.
Overall: This bike is a very good trail bike! you can race XC with it and even shred the downhills with a little fiddling with the rear shock. I race XC and Super-D/All Mountain. I like this bike because I can still pedal it really well and then I change the rebound nob like 2or 3 clicks and it has a squishy rear end that's really fun for the more DH courses. Its a great all around XC/ Trail Bike. It is a very well handling bike too. you can point it where you want to go and it will go right there!!

Recently President Obama released a selfie that included him flanked by Neil degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye that was taken at a recent White House event. This caused NASA Watch's Keith Cowling to grouse, in a tweet sent on February 28, 2014, "Neither person in the selfie w/ the President are (sic) interested in having humans in space - only robots. #WhatIsNASAFor"
Actually, NASA Watch is in error concerning both gentlemen.
Tyson, an astrophysicist and media personality, is a warm supporter of human space exploration. In a 2012 interview in Forbes, Tyson advocated the doubling of NASA's budget in order to give it enough money to accomplish a return to the moon and human expeditions to Mars. He has been a critic of President Obama's stingy budgeting of the space agency. In a 2010 interview with Stephen Colbert, Tyson touted human space exploration as a motivating factor for students studying science.
Nye, a former children's science educator and TV personality, is president of the Planetary Society. In July, 2013, he posted on the Planetary Society's website advocating human Mars exploration.
Indeed the evidence seems to suggest that among the people in the selfie, the president of the United States is the one least interested in having humans in space.
Mark R. Whittington is the author of Children of Apollo, The Last Moonwalker and Other Stories, and The Man from Mars: The Asteroid Mining Caper

The leaked screenshots show an interface somewhat similar to Windows Defender, offering the typical variety of options such as quick, full and custom scans, as well as virus and spyware definition downloads and scheduled scan settings. There's not much more we can infer with regard to the software's functionality from these shots, but ZDNet is reporting that Morro will be almost entirely cloud-based, although exactly how that would work remains unknown.
Morro is expected to provide simple anti-malware features and compete with similar free products from other providers. Although it will likely debut in its final form around the same time Windows 7 launches, it should be available as a separate download to avoid anti-trust concerns, and will also work with Windows Vista and XP.

What is dry hopping?
Dry hopping is the process of adding hops, usually in secondary, to a beer to add more of a hop aroma to your beer. Traditionally the technique is used for beer styles like pale ales and I.P.A.'s, but people are doing this process in many other styles as well. You aren't extracting any of the oils from the hops because you would need to add heat to do that, but you are adding aroma. Being that almost 75% of human taste comes from smell, then you can see why people take this extra step with their beers. If you are a big hop fan, dry hopping is a must.
Dry hopping methods vary, so find which way gives you the best results:
- We prefer to add the dry hops with 3-5 days left before you plan on bottling, or kegging, the beer. The reason for this is because the idea is to have the hop aroma infuse with the beer without having the aroma fade. By adding the hops only a few days before bottling, you get the freshest hop aroma throughout your beer without much loss of taste.
- Another method is to add the hops to the secondary 2 weeks prior to bottling. This allows the hops enough time to blend with the beer well. We tend to feel that you lose some of the hop aroma with this much time, but you do get a better blend.
Hop Backs
- For those that are extreme about your hops, then a hop back might be the item for you. In most cases this is a house filter that has been modified to allow the addition of hops in the unit. A standard filter takes up too much space to add hops, so some modification is necessary. We are in the process of developing a hop back for the homebrewer, so check out our site to see when it is completed.
- How a hop back works is you attach the unit between the liquid lines on your keg set up. Hop backs only work with kegging systems. The beer flows into the filter unit with the fresh hops, and then continues on to your tap. This is the ultimate way to get the freshest infusion of hops into your beer. We will warn you; sometimes the effects of a hop back can be pretty strong, so watch out.
What type of hops are the best for dry hopping?
Most of us prefer the use of leaf hops, as they are easier to deal with when you transfer, but pellet hops will work as well. As far as the type of hops itself, that is up to you. Most brewers will use the same type of hops that they used in making the beer. You might want to buy an extra ounce, or two, of either the aroma or bittering hops that you used to make the beer.
Be careful of the quantity of hops that you use because you can easily overpower a beer by using too much. Usually, an ounce or two is all you need. Start with one ounce, and then see if you need to add more the next time.
How do I add the hops to a carboy?
Most of us are going to use a funnel and pour them right into our secondary. You cannot use a hop bag as the hops are going to absorb liquid while in the carboy and expand. It is very difficult to get the bag back out of your carboy when the hops are all swollen from liquid.
If you don't want to deal with the mess of adding hops directly to your carboy then we do have a product that will work well for you. The Brew Infuser is a great product to use when dry hopping because it fits down the neck of the carboy easily and you can remove it easily. We would recommend using pellet hops with this unit because you can get more hops into that way, but leaf hops will work as well.
Give dry hopping a try as you will love the results. It isn't hard, it doesn't take that much time, and you get that little something extra in you beer that might have been missing before.

DALLAS (AP) - Continental Airlines and Delta said today they will reduce service to Mexico, as swine flu fears keeps many U.S. travelers from venturing south of the border.
Houston-based Continental, the biggest U.S. carrier to Mexico, says it will cut by half the number of seats it sells to fly to Mexico beginning Monday. The Houston-based airline says it will work with travelers to get them where they need to go, although schedules and routes might change.
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines announced late today that it too will reduce its Mexico service to match declining demand, but it didn't indicate how deep the cuts would be.
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines doesn't fly to Mexico, but its chief executive says bookings within the U.S. may have softened in the past week in response to concern about flying.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie poster with Jamie Dornan has fans of the movie chatting up the story line as it goes from book to film. With the first look of the new poster released on Friday, everyone is checking out all the details of the image. According to The Stir on Saturday, viewers are not disappointed at looking at full window pane look of the city and the back of the sexy billionaire Christian Grey.
After looking closely at the poster, people might notice that the backside of Jamie Dornan looks photoshopped. In particular in the crotch area the image comes up to a perfect point in the center of Dornan's legs. Seeming to stretch the fabric tight about the butt, the rest of the pants don't bunch up like it would in real life. Also, on the left side, the wrinkles of the pant legs are in perfect alignment. If the pants were ironed, there would be possibility for a similar look, but in this case it appears that the image was digitally manipulated to make the wrinkles zig-zag unrealistically as clothing doesn't fold like it is seen on the poster.
While some fans of the books might argue that it doesn't matter if the picture on the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie poster is manipulated, it does offer plenty of disappointment to fans who wanted the story on film to be genuine. Building up a gradual climax to when the movie is released, viewers want to see how the story in put together. Digitally altering images doesn't necessarily offer any great insight for the viewers and the images could just as well be shot on a green screen and reworked on a computer by a graphic artist with a vivid imagination.
Take a look at the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie poster. Do you see where the image was photoshopped?

BA launches Windows 7 mobile boarding app
Published: 24/05/2011 - Filed under: News »
British Airways has teamed up with Microsoft to bring mobile boarding to Windows Phone 7 users.
While the airline already offers mobile boarding apps for iPhone, Blackberry and Android users, this is the first time the functionality has been extended to Windows 7 customers. Some 20,000 BA customers a week currently use the airline's apps for mobile boarding.
Like BA's earlier apps, the new one is available only to Executive Club members and is free to download.

Also stored here are your gate number and up-to-date information about your flight status, as well as a map of the terminal and your miles balance. The app can also be used to check in 24 hours before you fly.
During a pre-launch trial of the app, I was impressed by how using the app made my boarding and departure smoother, and all the information I needed was a couple of seconds away. For a full review of my flight with BA's new app, click here.
Nick Hedderman, head of apps strategy and marketing at Microsoft UK, said: "By taking advantage of Windows Phone 7's engaging platform, British Airways' customers will experience a fresh, intuitive app that enables them to access vital information."
The app will be available on the Windows Phone Marketplace from June 1.

Any reason why the flight departs before you have to be through security and the gate closes? Faulty screen shots are not good pr!

Great extension to the range of e-services offered by BA. Am I being too beady-eyed? But I did notice on the boarding card that Mr Jack Gold is travelling Club Europe from T5 to JFK... interesting.

Raphael Katzen begins the interview by discussing his family background and childhood. He attended an all-boys high school, DeWitt Clinton, in New York and graduated from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1936. While an undergraduate at Poly, Katzen became acquainted with his mentor, Donald F. Othmer. Othmer, the generous and helpful man that he was, aided Katzen whenever possible by finding Katzen summer employment, taking Katzen on off-campus consultations, and requesting permission for Katzen to obtain his master's degree in absentia while working at Northwood Chemical Company. After receiving his doctorate in 1942, Katzen became involved with the acid hydrolysis of wood in the production of ethanol at Vulcan-Cincinnati Incorporated. With nearly seventeen years experience behind him, nine years at Vulcan, and seven years in the operating industry, in 1953 Katzen decided to start his own company, Raphael Katzen Associates International, Inc., focusing on process design engineering and consultation. Katzen Associates, now known as KATZEN International, Inc., has consulted and reorganized numerous companies over the last fifty years, such as Vulcan-Cincinnati, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and Union Carbide Corporation. Katzen concludes the interview with a discussion of his current work with Raphael Katzen, PE, his marriage to and life with Selma M. Katzen, and his friendship with Donald and Mildred Topp Othmer.

Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 5 tablespoons cocoa
- 5 egg whites
- Filling:
- 1/2 pint heavy cream whipped and mixed with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions:Beat egg yolks until thick. Add sugar. Beat thoroughly. Add cocoa, beat thoroughly. In a separate bowl beat whites until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/4 of beaten whites into chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remainder. Spread on jelly-roll pan covered with waxed paper or baking parchment. (Do not grease pan or paper!)
Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Turn out at once on lightly floured tea towel. Remove paper quickly and roll the cake lengthwise, rolling the towel in as you go. Allow to cool, then unroll and spread with the sweetened whipped cream. Reroll and chill before slicing.
Additional Notes:The Yankee Cook enjoyed this delicate, flourless cake even more when she doubled the whipped cream and folded in 1/2 cup finely crushed peppermint candy. Omit the sugar and vanilla if you follow her example. Roll half the cream inside the cake and use the remainder to frost.

On March 17, 2014, world news reports that fashion designer L'Wren Scott committed suicide shocked the nation. The 49-year-old fashion guru was respected by celebrities for her designs. Previously, she made public headlines for her relationship with Mick Jagger. According to a report by E Online! L'Wren Scott was found hanging by a scarf in her Manhattan, NYC apartment. While an official reason for her suicide is unknown, the Daily Mail reports that Scott was over $6 million in debt.
Mick Jagger is reportedly devastated over the loss and was not in New York at the time of the tragedy. Jagger is in Australia on tour with the Rolling Stones. The report states that Jagger had offered financial help to his girlfriend of more than a decade, yet she refused. While the report focuses greatly on financial reasons, and though they may have contributed to feelings of helplessness and despair, suicide is often a result of clinical depression. It is unclear whether Scott sought treatment for any depression that may have resulted due to financial stress or feelings of anxiety or despair.
L'Wren Scott was also a model and stood a statuesque 6'3". She was not only revered for her beauty, but her talent and joyous personality as well.
News of her death prompted many celebrities to offer condolences on Twitter. It is unclear at this point whether Mick Jagger will cancel or postpone the tour.

Copulas and Cults
But that's only part of the problem. Far more serious, because it extends to all of finance not just to a single model, is the poor education that people get in university financial engineering programs and also the blind-following-the-blind behaviour that is so common throughout the industry.
The copula model is not robust to changes in model assumptions. Black-Scholes is. Did you know that? Or maybe I'm wrong. Would you like to know the truth?
Yes, I could tell you. I could spoonfeed you. You've got used to being spoonfed, haven't you? But you're passing the buck there, putting an awful lot of responsibility on my shoulders. I can cope, as I'm sure David Li can cope. But you're a big boy/girl now, you should be able to think for yourself. Isn't that part of your job description?
It's getting quite tedious me telling people to get off their backsides and test the models for themselves. Don't believe anything I say, don't believe anything Nassim, also quoted in the Salmon article, says. Question everything. Switch your brains back on.
In the late 1970s I had the dubious pleasure of attending a Billy Graham evangelical event for the followers of the christian cult, as a guest of some born-again nutters. Over the last decade I have had the equally dubious pleasure of attending many conferences on credit, listening to various academics, let's say "Professor X," for example, preaching about the copula cult. I use the word 'cult' in this context because of the similarities between the unthinking adoration I witnessed at both types of event. I found the Billy Graham event hilarious, I found the credit events disturbing. In both cases the audiences were intelligent people, in both cases there was only one non-sheep among them: me.
Paul Volcker recently spoke about financial engineering and it being, er, not quite what it's made out to be. Setting aside the obvious discussion of what took him, and so many others, so long to realise this, he did make one point that matches my experience. And that is the use of the "Nuremberg Defence" by financial engineers, "Don't blame me, I was only following orders." I agree with Volcker that this is pathetic. And I've heard the same excuse from hundreds of people over the years, well before the recent crisis. I will be teaching people about the boundless possibilities of mathematical modelling, far beyond anything in most textbooks and certainly beyond anything in university programs, or I'll be explaining the dangers of Value at Risk, etc. and the audience will almost invariably say that they'd like to try out the new ideas when they get back to their office...but...but...but they won't be allowed to because the bank's policy is to use 'here insert name of stupid model that they've never properly tested.'
Gentlemen, and ladies, look in the bottom drawer, or wherever it is that you put them, and get out and dust off your cojones. Stand up, be counted, and stop bleating.

Tropical Weather Discussion...corrected
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1605 UTC Thu Jun 30 2016
corrected ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH section
Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is
based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and
meteorological analysis.
Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...corrected
The monsoon trough extends from 09N79W to 09N92W to low pressure
near 10N101W 1010 mb to low pressure near 13N114W 1011 mb to
14N124W to low pressure near 14N126W 1010 mb to low pressure
near 12N132W 1008 mb to low pressure near 09N135W 1011 mb to
beyond 06N140W. Numerous moderate to strong convection is seen
from 04N to 08N between 77W and 82W. Scattered moderate to
strong convection exists from 10N to 15N between 93W and 102W.
Scattered strong convection is within 30 nm of axis between 89W
and 92W, and also between 120W and 121W.
N of 15N E of 120W:
A NNW to SSE oriented trough will remain over the Baja California
peninsula and northern Gulf of California through this weekend.
The trough will maintain gentle to moderate S flow across the
Gulf waters.
Northwest swell generated by strong to gale force winds along
the California coast will cause seas N of 26N and W of 118W to
build to between 8 and 9 ft on Sat. The swell will begin to
subside on Sat night, and allow for seas in this area to subside
to less than 8 ft on Sun.
A high pressure ridge extends southeastward from 23N120W to
18N109W. Gentle anticyclonic winds are noted in the vicinity of
the ridge from 20N to 25N between 110W and 120W.
Fresh north to northeast winds are pulsing across the Gulf of
Tehuantepec this morning. Resultant seas of 8 ft are due to
northeast wind waves mixing with long period SW swell. The winds
will become light and variable by this evening with seas subsiding
to just under 8 ft. Winds will then become briefly become fresh
north to northeast in the mornings each day through Saturday and
light and variable in the afternoons.
S of 15N E of 120W:
Gentle to moderate monsoonal flow prevails S of the monsoon
trough, while gentle to moderate NE to E winds are observed N of
the monsoon trough.
Fresh NE winds are occurring through the Gulf of Papagayo, and
west to 91W with seas to 8 ft as the NE wind waves mix with SW
swell. Lighter winds and seas less than 8 ft are expected tonight
through Saturday. A similar gap wind event on Saturday could lead
to seas to again build to 8 ft in the Gulf of Papagayo.
Long period SW swell mixing with smaller swell components are
maintaining combined seas just above 8 ft from 02N to 15N between
94W and 112W, and from 05N to 11N between 90W and 94W as indicated
a recent altimeter pass. The swell energy is forecast by
wavewatch guidance to gradually dissipate through early Saturday
afternoon allowing for seas to subside to less than 8 ft.
Numerical model guidance continues to suggest that the low
pressure near 10N101W will become better organized by late on
Friday under more favorable upper level atmospheric conditions.
The low is forecast to gradually strengthen while tracking in a
general west to west-northwestward direction through the weekend.
W of 120W:
A broad ridge dominates the EPAC waters N of 15N. A swath of 7 to
9 ft seas dominated by NE swell is observed within 150 nm either
side of a line from 30N129W to 21N136W. These conditions will
spread SW through tonight. A reinforcing surge of large N swell
will allow for seas north of 24N to build to between 8 and 10 ft
on Sat. These swell will begin to subside on Sat night and allow
seas in this area to drop below 8 ft by Mon.

WGAW Statement on Verizon-Cable Deals
LOS ANGELES -- The Writers Guild of America, West has released the following statement regarding the Verizon-cable deals:
"Consumers and content creators were dealt a blow today with the approval of the Verizon-cable company transactions. Despite the limitations put in place by the Department of Justice, some of the largest providers of video, broadband and wireless services will still be able use their power to control these markets. This amounts to a sanctioned collaboration among supposed competitors that will, in fact, reduce competition in telecommunications and close the door on the development of a robust wireless video market that could increase the variety and diversity of content offered to consumers."

This afternoon the Pittsburgh Steelers made it official that the organization has signed strong safety Troy Polamalu and tight end Heath Miller to new three-year contracts that will keep the two veterans with the team through 2016. No details on the financial terms of the deals were released. While Miller was rumored to have made a deal earlier this week, sources within the Steelers organization itself did not verify it at that time. News that the Steelers are continuing to bolster their defense by re-signing Polamalu is encouraging.
Originally drafted by the Steelers in the first round (16th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft, Polamalu has earned a spot amongst some of the greatest players to wear the black and gold. Polamalu was selected to the Steelers' 75th Anniversary Team in 2007, won the Joe Greene Great Performance Award (given to the top rookie on the team), and was the Steelers' Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2010. Polamalu has earned eight Pro Bowl selections, AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors seven times and has been named to both the first-team and second-team AP All-Pro lists. In 2010, Polamalu was named the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2010 and the 2000's NFL All-Decade Team.
Polamalu's tenacity on the football field are rivaled only by his sense of humor off of it. Polamalu has recorded 32 career interceptions, tying him for seventh-most in Steelers team history. Add to that five career defensive touchdowns that tie him for second-most in franchise history. His hard-nosed play has garnered him respect among NFL elite and endured him to Steelers fans. His spots for Proctor & Gamble's Head and Shoulders brand shampoos have showcased Polamalu's ability to not only have fun with himself, but illustrate a side that isn't often witnessed by those who aren't in the locker room with him. In a recent interview with defensive end Brett Keisel, Polamalu's antics were a topic of humorous conversation.
Miller was drafted by the Steelers in the first round (30th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. His current streak of 81 regular season games in which he had at least one reception is a personal-best. Miller's team-best is the second longest in team history behind former wideout Hines Ward. As he heads into the 2014 season, Miller sits in the top ten of all tight ends in franchise history at third place in receptions (466), fifth in receiving touchdowns (40) and fifth in receiving yards (5,273). Combining those numbers, Miller has more than any other tight end in Steelers history.
Miller has also earned honors during his time in the NFL. In 2012, Miller became the first tight end in team history to be named Steelers' MVP. In 2005, he was the Joe Greene Great Performance Award recipient.
With Polamalu and Miller signing new contracts, the Steelers have stayed on task with Kevin Colbert's statement that the team would use extensions as a three-part way to meet compliance with the 2014 NFL Salary Cap. Keeping both veterans through the 2016 NFL Season will help the Steelers build a competitive team with two highly talented players and mentors; a tradition that has often paid off for the organization.

You call the film condescending and remark on the jokes revolving around the fact that they're old. Yet you start off this review with mentioning films are targeted to 12 - 24 and that it is nice that Marigold Hotel, Quartet and now Song for Marion cater for an older age. Just because the cast of the film is old, doesn't mean the audience has to be to enjoy it. Aren't you condescending older people by thinking those mentioned films are "for" them. I'm sure there are "older" people who enjoy Clout Atlas, Batman etc. The films jokes ARE funny because the characters are old. Just like School of Rocks jokes ARE funny because the characters are kids.

He may have attracted the largest crowd at last weekend's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, but Eric Clapton's focus on laid-back blues power and lack of hits, left the crowd unsatisfied. That will surely not be the case when Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band perform tonight.
Here are 13 reasons why Saturday at Jazz Fest will be The Boss's Day:
1 – Last summer, after asking writers, industry figures and artists, "Rolling Stone" rightfully placed Springsteen at the top spot of the 50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now. And with the immense success of his current tour, it looks like Springsteen & E Street won't budge from the number one.
2—Jazz Fest audiences will be treated to not one, but two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts tomorrow evening. As Springsteen was inducted in 1999 as a solo artist, and the E Street Band followed as they were inducted during last month's event.
3– The extended E Street Band now contains 17 members, including a five-piece horn section, three vocalists and a percussionist. Springsteen makes sure that everyone is involved and receives deserved time in the spotlight; all for the good of the song's performance.
4 –With this band, Springsteen's able to deftly move from the twist-and-turns of "Kitty's Back," to the modern touches of an electric "The Ghost of Tom Joad," to the gospel and soul influences on "Shackled and Drawn" and "Land of Hope and Dreams."
5 –Despite five decades as a musician, Springsteen takes nothing for granted and gives his all in marathon shows. It will be interesting to see if he breaks his usual three-hour mark onstage since the Jazz Fest schedule has him starting at 4:15 p.m. and ending at 7 p.m.
6 --His concerts always celebrate with a nod towards locale. The Pittsburgh show included "Youngstown," which is a town located nearby. The Cincinnati performance of "Pay Me My Money Down" already looked like a second line working its way down Bourbon Street, while the lines of "Wrecking Ball" -- "Hard times come, hard times go" – should hit an emotional note for the Crescent City.
7 –His concerts also offer contemplative moments in the form of a tribute to Vietnam veterans and those who didn't make it out alive ("The Wall"), social commentary ("American Skin (41 Shots)"), and emotional uplift ("The Rising").
8 – Springsteen takes audience requests in the forms of signs, balloon sculptures and artwork created by fans to heart and often incorporates them within his shows.
9--Those requests can lead to much more. A man celebrating his birthday in Cincinnati not only got "Growin' Up" played but Springtseen then called him onstage to help him belt out the final verse.
10 –Current shows regularly change up the setlist and have offered numerous surprises (i.e. opening with a cover of The Clash's "Clampdown" in Pittsburgh).
11--He's not afraid to get involved with his audience. Springsteen often crowd surfs during "Hungry Heart," dances with someone during "Dancing in the Dark," and if he's thirsty, chugs your beer when he's standing right in the middle of the crowd.
12–Springsteen also doesn't skip on the hits and deep cut favorites like "Born to Run," "Badlands," "Light of Day," and "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out."
13 –Finally, because, as he professes onstage, he's "just a prisoner of the everlasting power of rock and roll!"

A Lilburn clerk's quick thinking ensured the safety of her co-worker and thwarted a would-be-bank robber Monday afternoon, officials said.
The incident happened shortly before 1 p.m. at the PNC Bank at 4014 Lawrenceville Hwy., according to Lilburn police. The man entered the bank and identified himself to the teller as "Seth" from "Cali," telling her that he wanted to open an account, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But then he handed the teller a portfolio and threatened that if she did not stuff it with $2,000, it "would not be good for her," according to police.
The teller told him that she would have to get the cash for him and left with the pretext of obtaining the money, but instead the quick-thinking clerk locked herself and her co-worker inside the money vault, police spokesman Capt. Thom Bardugon said. They called the bank's security company, which called 911, the AJC reported.
It's unclear how long the man waited before he realized the clerk would not return. He fled before officers arrived, Bardugon said. On Tuesday police released photographs of the suspect, hoping someone would be able to help identify him.
The cameras also captured the man as he waited for several minutes for the tellers to return before leaving and walking calmly toward an I-HOP restaurant, Capt. Bardugon told the paper. It's unclear if any customers were in the branch at the time.
Still, police said the tellers should have called 911 first, the paper reported. If the tellers had called 911 first, Lilburn police who were only a short distance away, might have responded in time to make an arrest, Bardugon said.
Police are asking anyone with any information on the attempted robbery or the suspect to call Investigator Cody Belcher at (404) 516-0657.
