The National Wrestling Alliance, the oldest governing body in professional wrestling, was stagnant and many promoters were unhappy but unwilling to speak out against the Board of Directors. A fair number of promotions left the organization as well but one promoter, with an understanding of the business many were unaware he had, was a visionary. Bruce Tharpe had worked behind the scenes of Florida Championship Wrestling with Eddie Graham as a young man and now he would find himself at the forefront of what many would call a hostile takeover of the NWA, getting criticized for his actions and garnering heat from many longtime NWA fans. Through it all Tharpe stood firm and now, with the resurgence of the National Wrestling Alliance, though this be madness, yet there is method to it, is the only way to describe how Bruce Tharpe redefined the NWA.
Now that the reorganizational phase has been completed the organizational phase has begun and with success that the "old regime" failed to realize. Tharpe has solidified a prosperous relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling and has become even more selective in which promotions are allowed in the NWA saying that he was "quality over quantity."
"We are looking at several international promotions to become part of the NWA as well," Tharpe said.
The NWA, under the guidance of Tharpe, has made several changes that have been well received by fans and promoters as well as cynical naysayers including putting the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on former WWE SuperStar "Ironman" Rob Conway and pitting Nitro against Lou Marconi for the NWA National Heavyweight Championship which is also part of The Fold v. The Lords of KAOS feud which is one of the most exciting and intense rivalries in wrestling. After Conway lost the title to Satoshi Kojima he and newcomer Jax Dane became the NWA World Tag Team Champions and continued to represent the NWA well.
Top promotions for the NWA include NWA Smoky Mountain, which is often called the flagship of the NWA, NWA World Wide Wrestling, NWA CIW, NWA SAW and newcomer NWA Appalachia are all part of the core of the NWA. While based in Texas and with NWA Houston being an integral part of the company, the strongest promotions for the NWA continue to be in the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-South and Mid-West.
While Tharpe weathered the storm that followed his takeover of the NWA, working quietly in the background was second in command Chris Ronquillo. Ronquillo was an important part of managing the incoming and outgoing promotions and helping the company to solidify what the NWA has become.
"Without Chris, much of this, the NWA would not have happened. He has been just as an important component as I have, as the promoters have, as the wrestlers have," Tharpe added.
"Bruce Tharpe has done something no one thought he would be able to do, he brought the NWA back from oblivion," veteran wrestler and NWA World Championship contender Cueball Carmichael said.
When the takeover happened, there were a number of people who went of the offensive against Tharpe and Ronquillo, attacking every move they made and providing a monumental amount of misinformation especially on some message boards and social media. Though second-guessed at every turn Tharpe soldiered on, never once wavering.
"Early on I was called a bully, by I believe you Dr. Wiseman, and that is untrue, I am not a bully," Tharpe told me. "I stood up to the establishment and challenged those guys because it was the right thing to do - we won - and now look at us today - the NWA is moving forward – quickly," he added.
The National Wrestling Alliance is making strides, progress and moving forward by looking into the global market, adding quality promotions, using the best available indie talent and there are rumors that the NWA will have some sort of television deal by the end of 2014 which will showcase the best of the NWA.
Former NWA National Heavyweight Champion Lou Marconi said of Tharpe, "his (Tharpe) business mind was a breath of fresh air for the NWA and wrestling."
Many doubted Bruce Tharpe and Chris Ronquillo when they essentially became the NWA but there are few who doubt them today. The turnaround for the NWA has been phenomenal and the future is limitless which is one thing the "NWA Insider" a "confidential source" thought would be impossible.
With champions like NWA World Junior Heavyweight title holder Chase Owens (considered the best talent not to have been signed), NWA United States Tag Team Champions Damien Wayne and Lance Erickson, North American Champion Byron Wilcott (a potential superstar), Marconi, NWA National Heavyweight Champion Phil "Nitro" Monahan and regional champions like NWA Smoky Mountain TV Champion Jeff Connelly and the phenomenal Jason Kincaid, the NWA has talent on par with the big two promotions (WWE/TNA).
The National Wrestling Alliance is poised to become the number three promotion in the wrestling world surpassing the complacent Ring of Honor and as TNA continues to flounder, the NWA could move into the number two spot especially if they get TV.
Bruce Tharpe has redefined the NWA and indie wrestling by holding fast to his dream, his vision, and his quest to restore respect to one of the most historic governing bodies in all of wrestling.
As in Hamlet, though this be madness yet there is method to it, Bruce Tharpe has proven his method works and the NWA continues to grow.

MAG: "Tortured" Katie Holmes "Can't Escape" Tom Cruise
Katie Holmes is "helplessly trapped" and "can't escape" Tom Cruise, despite their divorce, according to a sensationalized story from the National Enquirer.
How so?
The supermarket tabloid explains that Cruise "remains in constant contact to keep tabs on their beloved daughter Suri, so Katie can't ever feel completely free."
A purported "insider" for the mag notes, "The ongoing communications between Katie and Tom about Suri's schooling, visitation, her health or his financial obligations are certain to be a constant reminder of the control that Tom will probably always have."
Um, what "control"?
Holmes has primary custody of Suri.
Anyway, the Enquirer goes on to claim that Holmes is feeling "tortured" and "lonely" because of the pair's upcoming wedding anniversary on November 18, as well as the supposed fight over Suri during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The so-called "friend" alleges, "There will be a battle over Suri's affection for the holidays," adding, "There's always the worry that Tom will outdo Katie and make her feel inadequate as a mother."
But Holmes supposedly has more to worry about than just Cruise.
The tabloid claims Holmes still lives in fear of Scientology, saying, "Katie must have buckled at the knees in fear when she saw one in a series of Scientology recruiting posters in the subway near her home."
Another "source" guesses, "The proximity of those posters to her home must have chilled Katie to the bone. It's like she can never escape him [Cruise]."
Gossip Cop would just like to point out the mag's language in those two paragraphs.
It says Holmes "must have bucked at the knees," and the posters "must have chilled Katie to the bone," meaning the statements are nothing more than dramatic speculation and that the tabloid (and its "sources") actually know nothing about Holmes.
We'd also like to add that the Enquirer is the same publication that Cruise threatened to sue over a false, baseless cover story titled, "Tom's House of Horrors."
In any case, a Holmes friend tells Gossip Cop the tab's tale is once agin completely untrue, and that the actress is feeling fine and on amicable terms with Cruise.

On last night's Food Network episode of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," Guy Fieri took the Camaro to Florida and Utah in this episode titled "Cross Country Comfort Food."
Guy went to Miami to visit Blue Collar called a hidden gem where chef and owner Danny Serfer was whipping up braised oxtails that had Guy just in ecstasy, along with the customers, where regular's names were on the wall. Then he made something that made Guy's eyes pop out, called the Big Ragout Sandwich, a giant hollowed-out crusty bread containing pork & veal shoulder, brisket, sausage, pancetta, fresh mozzarella and parmesan, sitting atop a mound of French fries. Ouch!
In Utah, he first stopped in Park City; he went to Sammy's Bistro to meet a local boy who makes gourmet food at local's prices. Skier Sam Harris has been serving his faithful patrons since 2011, and they love the Savory Chicken Bowl with the chicken slow-roasted with poblano peppers, onions and Asian spices over jasmine rice then topped with strips of tortilla chips, that Guy called it funky comfort food. Next he made a sandwich from Uruguay called the "Chivito" Club, made with pork tenderloin, bacon, fried eggs, lettuce & tomato, on a hoagie roll with cilantro sauce.
Next stop was in the same town, at the Silver Star Café. Jeff and Lisa Ward bought the place in 2010 at the bottom of a ski lift. They hired Dave Bible to be their chef, and the rest is history. Dave showed Guy how he makes the tomatillo broth for the Pork Osso Bucco, he seasoned the pork shanks, browned them and put them in the oven with chicken stock, peppers and onions. When they came out, Guy was having a moment, but waited until they were placed on chipotle grits and then covered with the tomatillo salsa/broth and topped with queso fresco. He made spaetzle for the mushroom stroganoff, with several kinds of mushrooms, roasted vegetable stock, sour cream, and a few spices. Yum! Before he left the area, Guy had to have the crispy pork belly with the awesome Carolina barbeque sauce before waddling out the door and into the car.
If you cannot hop in the red Camaro with Guy, tune in, and he may be coming to a place near you on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."

Oleg Gnedin investigates the formation and evolution of galaxies and star clusters. He uses numerical simulations with adaptive mesh refinement to resolve galactic structure on fine scales, while simultaneously modeling a large region of the universe. This powerful tool has allowed him to describe how galaxies, and massive star clusters within them, have grown and evolved under the influence of gravity, radiation of cosmic gas, and other critical physical processes. The results of these numerical simulations help illuminate the origin of the observed galactic structure.
Gnedin developed the first widely accepted solution to the problem of "missing satellites" around large galaxies. While recent models of galaxy formation have made accurate predictions on large scales, they predicted far more small galaxies than are actually observed. By accurately modeling the energy transfer within cosmic gas, Gnedin was able to show that many gas-rich areas were absorbing too much radiation to collapse and form these smaller galaxies.

Because of a higher than normal percentage of Priority Children, many who have been waiting for more than a year for a sponsor, Compassion is implementing a change, effective immediately, in the process for all child packet orders. The changes include:
A recent World Bank report found that 721 million fewer people lived in extreme poverty in 2010 – defined as under $1.25 a day – compared to 1981. Roughly 400 million (about 1/3) of those living in extreme poverty are children. It is worth noting that among the extreme poor, 78% live in rural areas, 26% have access to clean water, 20% have access to sanitation and 49% have access to electricity. These numbers highlight the importance of your advocacy in partnering with Compassion's efforts to find the deepest pockets of poverty and along with our CIV focus helping deliver aid where it is needed.

Actor Meshach Taylor was terminally ill and died Saturday night. This comes as a huge surprise to many who remember the Emmy-nominated actor for his role as Anthony Bouvier in the sitcom, "Designing Women." USA Today reports June 28 that Meshach was surrounded by his wife, children, and mother when he passed away at 10:47 p.m., according to his son, Tariq Taylor and agent, Dede Binder. He was 67.
Taylor was in hospice at his family's home in Altadena when he died.
For those who remember, Meshach portrayed an assistant to four women who were fashion designers in "Designing Women" and starred Dixie Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts, and Jean Smart. He famously played window dresser, Hollywood Montrose in the film, "Mannequin," that came out in 1987 -- and the sequel in 1991.
Among other roles the actor had, The Hollywood Reporter goes to report that Meshach had also appeared on "Dave's World," "MASH," "Cagney and Lacey," "Golden Girls," and the "Drew Carey Show," among many others. The actor also had his own HGTV show titled, "The Urban Gardener."
Meshach Taylor had been terminally ill for a while after a long battle with cancer, TMZ reports exclusively.
Meshach's family posted this statement on his Facebook page June 27:
"It is with love and gratitude that we sorrowfully announce that our darling, amazingly brilliant and dynamic, Meshach, the incredible father, husband, son and friend has begun his grand transition."
Taylor married actress Bianca Ferguson ("General Hospital)" in 1983 and is also survived by his children: Tariq, Yasmine, Tamar and Esme.
When Meshach Taylor was terminally ill, he seemed to have the genuine support and love of family around him. He played beloved characters and will be missed by many co-stars he appeared on television with.

Reviews for Perfect Peppermint Patties
"Just like store bought if not better! I've been asked by several people for the recipe!"
"I love this recipe! I just tried it last week for the first time and it came out very well. I'm making it again today. I don't know why people keep saying that they have problems dipping because mine came out perfectly...I just made sure the patties were frozen solid first."
"I have been making these for several years and everyone loves them. I agree with sus_anne27, they need to go in the freezer. Now my daughter makes them for her family and it is a must every year at Christmas. I use milk chocolate for the coating since it is my favorite."
"Mmmm I love York's, and this is a great way to make my own. I haven't found the easiest way to coat them with the chocolate so they looked weird but the taste was great! Perfect with a cold glass of milk!"
"I have been making these for 3 years now and everyone LOVES these. A word of advice, make your patties and put them on parchment paper. Put them in the freezer and leave them for a couple of hours. When you are ready to dip them, grab a few out of the freezer at a time, that way they stay hardened and will not melt as easily. They do soften a big but are still manageable. Out of 6 or 7 candies I make at Christmas, these are the messiest but well worth it!"

After days or weeks of snow and cold we get the itch to get out and do something adventurous. If the weather warms up for a few days, try some winter kayaking.
There will be very few paddlers and boaters out on the water during this time of the year so you may have the entire waterway to yourself.
Dressing properly and taking a few precautions can make this one of your best paddle experiences of the year. Two of the most important safety issues are: don't go alone and always wear your PFD! All persons in Pennsylvania must wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD or life jacket) during the cold weather months from November 1st through April 30th while underway or at anchor on boats less than 16 feet in length or any canoe or kayak.
It is best to go only on bodies of water you are familiar with. Don't go if weather conditions aren't favorable. If there are high winds, high waters or ice chunks all over the water; STAY OFF! Rivers can be fast from melting snow and winter winds can play havoc on large lakes and ponds. You really need to use a lot of common sense at this time of the year.
Wear several layers of clothing to stay warm. Make sure you wear a knit cap, waterproof gloves and even a wetsuit if you have one. Take extra clothing along if you get wet. Also, take a camera (put it in a dry bag) for some potentially great photos and don't forget to take along some drinking water.
Getting wet when the water is cold is not something you want to have happen. Cold water removes heat from the body 25 times faster than cold air. So your entry and exit better be perfect. For the novice or beginner it is best to wait for waterways to warm up in late spring or during the summer.
Remember, hunters use many waterways during extended fowl seasons during the cold months. They may be in a boat which is highly camouflaged and have decoys in the water; so stay clear. For more info on hunting seasons in Pennsylvania visit the PA Game Commission website.

BACKGROUND: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2542151 within the gene locus region encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) has been associated with Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), type-I diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. We have previously shown that PTPN2 regulates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and cytokine secretion in human THP-1 monocytes and intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Here, we studied whether intronic PTPN2 SNP rs1893217 regulates immune responses to the nucleotide-oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) ligand, muramyl-dipeptide (MDP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA samples from 343 CD and 663 non-IBD control patients (male and female) from a combined German, Swiss, and Polish cohort were genotyped for the presence of the PTPN2 SNPs, rs2542151, and rs1893217. PTPN2-variant rs1893217 was introduced into T(84) IEC or THP-1 cells using a lentiviral vector. RESULTS: We identified a novel association between the genetic variant, rs1893217, located in intron 7 of the PTPN2 gene and CD. Human THP-1 monocytes carrying this variant revealed increased MAPK activation as well as elevated mRNA expression of T-bet transcription factor and secretion of interferon-γ in response to the bacterial wall component, MDP. In contrast, secretion of interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor were reduced. In both, T(84) IEC and THP-1 monocytes, autophagosome formation was impaired. CONCLUSIONS: We identified a novel CD-associated PTPN2 variant that modulates innate immune responses to bacterial antigens. These findings not only provide key insights into the effects of a functional mutation on a clinically relevant gene, but also reveal how such a mutation could contribute to the onset of disease.

Doing this the apps will appear as if they have been purchased from the app store and even presumably get update notifications. Apparently the hack only works for apps that don't fully implement Apple's recommended verification techniques, so it�s up to developers to take make sure their software isn�t susceptible to this simple trick. Apple could also test for this in its application approval process to avoid such issues.
Meanwhile a group known as Hackulous, which has previously broken the copy protection systems used by the iPhone and iPad, says it has developed a program called Kickback that can break the protection on any piece of App Store software. They don�t plan to release their work until at least next month when the store's been established, because they �don't want to devalue applications and frustrate developers.�

Specifically, it seems Light Peak will debut using copper wires for the transmission of data instead of the technology's signature fiber optics. According to Cnet, however, the shift away from optical networking to traditional electrical interconnections won't affect the planned speed, which is still set at 10Gb/s bi-directionally. Intel hasn�t confirmed or denied the reports but if true it remains to be seen how this affects plans to eventually hit 100Gb/s.
Despite the move to copper cabling, Light Peak is said to be on track for a commercial rollout in the early first half of 2011, with Sony and Apple expected to be among the first to use the technology in its products.

Just hours ago Warner Bros. released a first look at the costume for The CW's new series "The Flash." Based on the DC Comic character, the red and gold costume was created by three time Academy Award-winner Colleen Atwood for "Alice in Wonderland," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Chicago."
Grant Gustin (Glee) will portray Barry Allen, an assistant at the Central City Police Dept.'s Criminal and Forensic Science Division. After a freak accident at S.T.A.R Lab, Gustin becomes the fastest man alive. The superhero becomes known as The Flash in this "Arrow" spinoff series. Gustin's role started in two episodes of this season's "Arrow," the second being the episode in which he got his powers and the origin story for The Flash.
"The Flash" will also star Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order), Tom Cavanagh (Ed), Danielle Panabaker (Shark), Rick Cosnett (Vampire Diaries), Candice Patton (The Game) and Broadway's Carlos Valdes.
The network has already started production on the new series

Sank by ice, large hail and record heat top the list of Michigan weather events on this day in history. From the National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center (SPC) archives here are the weather events that happened on April 15.
1904 - A two day snowstorm ended in Saginaw. The storm left the city with 12.5 inches of snow.
1909 - The wood steam tug Fred B. Hall was damaged by ice and sank near Susie Island, MN in Lake Superior.
1943 - Temperatures plunge into the teens as snowflakes swirl in the arctic wind. Record lows include 16° at Muskegon, 18° at Grand Rapids, 6° at Houghton Lake, and 11° at Sault Ste. Marie.
1976 - The county of Midland was hit by an F1 tornado at 3:30PM causing $25,000 in property damage.
2002 - A four day stretch of record warm weather peaks across Lower Michigan with Grand Rapids hitting 84°, Muskegon 80°, Lansing 84°, Alpena 82°, Flint 84°, and Houghton Lake 82°. A record high temperature 76° occurred at the Weather Forecast Office in Marquette. Some of these records would fall in 2003 and 2010.
2003 - A weak disturbance kicks off some early evening thunderstorms in Wisconsin. Part of Northern Lower Michigan also sees the active weather. In Wellston, 1" hail falls to the ground. Click here for a radar loop of the storms. The slideshow on the top has more weather maps from this day.
Warm air with this disturbance sets new record highs with a few cities, equaling or surpassing the records set one year earlier. These new records include Grand Rapids and Lansing both tying 2002 with a high of 84°. Alpena also ties their 2002 record with a high of 82°, but in 2010 that record falls as they climb to 84°. Flint and Detroit both see a new record with 85°.

Danny and the Three Platforms
By dannycoward on Feb 02, 2006
Hello World !
Someone once described their programming style to me as 'every program is an edited version of Hello World' (hi Tim). Ah, but what editing.
I realised this morning that I am the Goldilocks of Java Platforms, having worked on the J2EE platform, the J2ME platform and now starting in on the J2SE platform. Except I'm not so fickle. Or blond.
If you know me already, you may remember me from the heady early days of J2EE while we were still struggling through the three letter acronyms, not realising how much better four can be. Or perhaps from one of the hats I wore in the J2ME platform team, where I think even my willingness and ability to discard the shackles of job function were stretched close to the limit. Perhaps you knew that I most recently spent some quality time with myself and a small selection of other popular langauges to see how the other half live. More on that soon, I promise, but can I just say that sometimes we all need to log out, ring off, close the door and do something fun ?
But now I've found the J2SE platform, I think its going to be just right ;)

Drew Carey tools around the tree-lined lot at Disney Studios in his new black Miata convertible. His crew-cut defies the wind, but his 1954 Cleveland Indians replica jacket looks pretty good in the L.A. sun. He whizzes past Grumpy, Sleepy, Dopey and four other Seven Dwarfs (which are actually columns on the executive office building) and deftly maneuvers his way around the massive soundstages. He lurches to a stop at a plain gray trailer. It's here where his "development deal" with Disney has him writing the Patty Heaton/Gaby Hoffmann sitcom, "Someone Like Me."
"Drew! Dreeew!" 11-year-old Gaby rollerblades around the corner at alarming speed, stops with Olympic accuracy and whispers a nugget of set gossip into her pal's ear. Carey gives a deep staccato laugh. "See you after break," she chirps and skates off, pigtails and knapsack flapping in the breeze.
His car. That's the only thing that's changed since the 36-year-old Clevelander moved to Hollywood, made Johnny Carson laugh and landed himself on a sitcom. He's still John Lanigan's favorite guest. He still wears the Tribe jacket ("I never thought I'd see the day when you had to know somebody to get Indians tickets.") And his signature black suit and skinny tie, which he bought at a Lorain Road Salvation Army store near his mom's house in Old Brooklyn, remain his standard garb on stage. "I even have a Cleveland watch," he says. The glasses and hair are remnants of time spent in the Marine Corps Reserve.
"Don't I look like the guy in the Forest City Auto Parts sign?"
— from "Drew Carey's
Big Ham Sandwich," June 1994
Carter Bays on ...
How I Met Your Mother's Ted Mosby is just a regular Cleveland guy living in New York City. Shaker Heights native Carter Bays is the creator and executive producer of the popular CBS sitcom.
I have not met Drew Carey, which is kind of a shame, but I have always been a big fan of his. I was 20 when his show came out and hearing the theme song, "Moon over Parma" was very exciting.
Other shows from back then were mostly set in generic Midwestern towns and clearly written by someone who wasn't from that town. Drew Carey's show had jokes that you would only get if you were from Cleveland. It was just neat feeling like comedy was being tailored to such a specific segment of the audience at a time when most network comedy was very big tent. It was a valentine to Cleveland.
You could probably draw a direct line from that to us mentioning Superhost on How I Met Your Mother. We try to work in those kinds of things, as long as it's not too confusing to viewers not from Cleveland. We'll find a way to get Lanigan and Malone in soon.
— as told to Colleen Smitek
"She keeps surprising me. She's getting to be more a pain in the ass every week."
— Betty White discussing her Hot in Cleveland character, Elka, in our January 2011 issue. A few months earlier, we flew to Los Angeles to interview White and her co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves on the set of their TVLand show.

My friend Brooke {check out her great blog here} has done it several times and I've always thought, "I should try that sometime." The point of it is to blog every day for the month of November. So that means 30 days of posting in a row. Yikes! I hope I can make it.

Included in this book are my comments on everything from the photos to my ideas on man and the environment . My preference for wildlife photography which is not a very high paying endevor compared to fashion or wedding photography has to do with my preference for company in the outdoors. I perfer Herons, Foxes , Squirrels and occasionally another outdoor photographer over most people. I've gathered some of my favorite images for this book so my grandchildren can see what I've been blessed to see.
For 30 years I have been photographing nature at its best and worst campaigning against wetlands being destroyed and uncontrolled development. To stop pollution of the waterways has been another battle I've been involved in , particularily the Chesapeake Bay. I've recently joined NANPA to help protect nature and promote nature photography.

deoxygen says Nice collection of images Patrick. Both wildlife and nature shots were quite pleasing.

Ooops! Apple did it again. In the arrival of the new iPad a.k.a iPad 3, many Apple fans all over the world were frustrated with the slight hardware improvements. If you can still remember, the frustration also happened in the released of the iPhone 4S. On the outside you cannot see any major design improvements not until you see the detailed specs below.
But as expected the new iPad (the name given by Apple and not iPad 3 or iPad HD) is a little bulky compared to the iPad 2. It's because of the hardware improvements on the battery to support the upgraded (A5X SoC) processor with enhanced graphics capabilities. If you're a game or movie addict you should see a huge difference between iPad 2 and the new iPad because of the Retina display that boasts a total resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels enclosed in the same 9.7 inch display.
In addition to the high-definition display thanks to the Retina technology, the consumers of the new iPad can also enjoy capturing HD videos at 1080p @ 30 fps using the improved 5 MP rear camera compared to the 0.7 MP of the iPad 2. And last but not the least, the newest iPad as expected by many has included the high-speed 4G LTE connectivity. This means that instead of browsing at 7.2 Mbps using your iPad 2, you can now reach a maximum speed of 73 Mbps on the new iPad. Of course this is dependent on your location and local carrier if they already rolled out LTE for you.
Oh and I forgot the new iPad doesn't have Siri installed but they added voice dictation for emails and messaging. Maybe that is why Apple is not calling it the iPad 3 similar to the iPhone 4S in which Apple fans expected it to be the iPhone 5. Can we call it the iPad HD? Maybe. If you listened to the iPad video very closely they did mentioned the word 'third generation iPad'. Does it mean that it is indeed the iPad 3?
Given these improvements on the display, CPU, camera and LTE connectivity would you consider buying the newest iPad? Let us know by posting your comments below.

City v Arsenal: Paddy Power Tevez special
- 18 September 2012 09:34
- Posted by David Clayton
Two of the Premier League's unbeaten records are on the line at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
City have won three out of the last four league games against the Gunners at home and, at a price of 3/4, are odds-on favourites with Blues official betting partner Paddy Power for the contest.
However, Arsenal's new-look front line has found an eye for goal recently. They thumped six past Southampton last week and the Gunners are 4/1 to win. It is 5/2 that the game ends all square.
The last three fixtures between the champions and Arsenal have ended 1-0 and it is 13/2 that the Blues win by that score line on Sunday.
The shortest priced correct score bet for the match is 1-1 which is 6/1. If it does finish in a draw Paddy Power will generously refund all losing first goalscorer, last goalscorer, scorecasts and correct score bets on the game.
Sergio Aguero found the net against Arsenal in last year's Carling Cup – now Capital One Cup - quarter-final and he is 4/1 to open up the scoring against Arsene Wenger's side on Sunday.
Carlos Tevez is currently City's top scorer in the league with three goals in four games and he is also 4/1 to score first. The Argentine is evens to find the back of the net at any time.
A David Silva goal separated the two teams at the Etihad in the league last season and the Spaniard is 6/1 to repeat the trick and score first again. Anyone who fancies Silva to score and City to win can secure an 11/4 wincast bet and Silva to score in a 1-0 win for the Blues is a 25/1 scorecast bet.
The last four games between City and Arsenal have been goal-less at the half-time break and it is 11/5 to be 0-0 when the whistle goes after 45 minutes on Sunday. It is 7/2 that the teams are level at the interval with City going on to win.
***Limited Time Enhanced Offer*** - Get Tevez to score ANYTIME vs Arsenal at 3/1 plus New Accounts get a FREE £20 Bet once they place a £10 stake.

You've probably noticed that there are a few versions of REAPER on the download page. 32-bit or 64-bit. This is a big source of confusion for new users.
I heard that 64-bits sounds better or something. LOL
OK, the first thing to understand is that this has nothing to do with how REAPER sounds. You see these numbers used a lot with digital audio, for the operating system, file types, program coding, and mixing bit-depth. In this particular case it makes no difference to the sound quality.
Which one should you use?
If you run a 32-bit operating system, such as Windows XP, your choice is simple. 32-bit. [editor's note – XP is 11 years old and was officially non-supported in 2009. UPGRADE NOW!]
Windows 7 is available in 32 or 64 bit (64 is recommended) versions, and OSX 10.7 Lion is 64-bit. With a 64-bit operating system you can use either REAPER 32-bit or 64-bit.
I still don't get it
The real difference is a matter of two factors.
- How much RAM do you need?
- Are all your plugins 64-bit?
With the 32-bit version of REAPER running on a 64-bit system, there is a limit to how much RAM can be used at once. You will see a warning when you exceed 1800 MB, stability will be very questionable past that even if your computer has 4GB or more. The 32-bit version doesn't seem like a good choice now.
The 64-bit version of REAPER running on a 64-bit system has access to every last bit of available RAM in the system. 64-bit is generally the better option, but maybe not, see the next point.
The Bridge
This part is all down to how your plugins are coded. When you run the 64-bit version and not all your plugins are coded in 64-bits, you have to deal with the bridge. The bridge allows you to run 32-bit plugins in the 64-bit environment.
The issue with the bridge is that those 32-bit plugins are now a separate program and often get hidden by the main REAPER window instead of floating on top. Also your key commands like starting/stopping playback don't work while these floating windows are active. This takes some getting used to and if you have a lot of 32-bit only plugins it can get annoying very quickly.
There is also a 64-bit bridge for when you want to run a 64-bit only plugin in 32-bit REAPER, but that's pretty rare.
Seriously, just tell me which one to download!
To summarize: 64-bit version has access to way more RAM than the 32-bit version but the bridge can get annoying if you have a lot of plugins. The 32-bit version is limited to a relatively low amount of RAM but since there are very few 64-bit only plugins, you don't deal with the bridge unless you want to.
We here at the REAPER Blog recommend the 32-bit version and run your RAM hungry plugins (usually just samplers or sample-based instruments) as either separate or dedicated processes. The relatively low RAM limit doesn't matter this way because the RAM hungry stuff is outside of REAPER. We've found this to be the best solution.

Everyone that has ever been a parent of a student has been faced with this dilemma at one time or another. How do you show appreciation to a teacher that puts up with, not only your little genius, but also 20 other little genius' all day long? We all recognize that most teachers are underpaid and overworked, yet most of us are dealing with the current economic crisis and are not able to be as generous as we would like to be when it comes to thanking them with a gift. Here are a few ideas I've accumulated from both personal experience and some field research that would put a smile on any teacher's face;??
- Gift Cards: I know, I know, a perennial favorite but also overused. Borders and Starbucks are usually a good fit. Why not try a gift card to a teacher supply store (since most teachers have to pay for a lot of classroom materials on their own). A few good ones to check out on line are www.schoolbox.com or www.teacherstorehouse.com.
- Or, for the younger grades, a gift certificate to the local dollar store to supply the ever-present "treasure box" might make sense. Better yet, visit the dollar store on your own and present her/him with a box of ready made giveaways for prizes!??
- Make lunch/breakfast for your favorite teacher(s): Why wait for teacher appreciation week or the last day of school. Teacher's need support all year long. Find out their favorite snacks/latte flavors and gift them in the middle of state testing week. Always a hectic time of the year for the staff and a much better time to offer relief than mid-June.??
- Volunteer your time: If you are on a strict no-spending budget, why not volunteer to be a class aide once a week or even once a month (make coupons to give the teacher as a representation of the time that you can commit). The schools are woefully understaffed and any teacher would appreciate an extra pair of hands to help out.??
- Photo Book: There are a myriad of websites that can help you make a photo scrapbook from pictures that you (and other moms) have accumulated throughout the school year. They are inexpensive and easy to put together. Plus, you can make an extra copy for your child as a memento of the school year. Check out www.shutterfly.com or www.snapfish.com to get a quick tutorial on the process.??Whatever you decide to do for your child's teacher, remember, the price of the gift does not have to be extravagant to make an impact. It is the thought and the effort that really count.

Helen Levitt (1913-2009)
Monday 30 March 2009
Yesterday, a great poet of the streets and an inspirational woman in history left us forever.
Helen Levitt was born on August 31, 1913 and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Levitt quit school and began her career in photography aged 18, while working in a portrait studio in the Bronx. There she acquired her technical skills, but her inspiration to make images came from art and photography exhibits and from films and theatre.
While other photographers of the 1930s were documenting social injustice around the country and the world, Levitt chose to devote a long career to a place and people just blocks away from her home. She was also well known for her photographs of street life in Mexico City.
Her passion for life was evident in everything she did. She had a natural aesthetic flair and was one of the pioneers of color photography. She knew how to combine intuition and intellect in order to create compelling compositions, and her photographs are simultaneously subtle, honest, rich and mysterious.
Levitt's pictures have love without being sentimental. She pursued her dreams for nearly 70 years and inspired generations of artists. She will always be known as one of the greatest poets of everyday life. Her legacy and art will live forever.
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Harbor project shifting out of neutral
Jodi Summit
TOWER- While permitting issues are still being finalized, the city of Tower is moving ahead on bidding for the dredging of the city's planned new harbor and sections of the East Two River.
The dredging is the next big step in the long-range plan to redevelop the city's harborfront area. The U.S. Army Corps and the Department of Natural Resources have yet to issue permits for the work, but city officials now expect to have those permits in hand by the end of the month.
The bid opening for the dredging will be on Aug. 28 at 10 a.m., with dredging to begin around Sept. 8.
The city is planning a harbor dredging ceremony to coincide with the beginning of the work. The initial groundbreaking for the harbor was held almost exactly seven years ago, and while city officials knew this was going to be a long-term project, some have doubted that the actual harbor would ever become a reality.
The city's Harbor Committee met on Aug. 4 to work on the final draft of the agreement with a hotel development firm, Wisconsin-based Cobblestone Inn and Suites. City Clerk-Treasurer Linda Keith said city officials expect to have a signed agreement by the end of the month. Results from the soil boring showed several sites suitable for either a one- or two-story facility. Cobblestone has expressed interest in building a 36-unit hotel, at an estimated cost of $2.25 million. A market study paid for by the city of Tower earlier this year confirmed sufficient demand to support the hotel project.
The committee will now set up meetings with interested condominium developers. Two sites have been tentatively identified as suitable for harbor-area housing, one on the rear of the harbor site near the cross-country ski parking area where water and sewer are already available, and the other on the opposite side of Highway 169, on the land recently purchased by the city from Ron Abrahamson Sr.
Harbor Committee members are also looking into installing a webcam at the harbor, so people can watch the harbor construction in real time.

Favorite Christmas commercials
It seems that this particular spot helped Walmart knock Target off the top of the list of this year's favorite Christmas commercials.
Target – which has some pretty clever spots - has taken the top spot since 2005 in the survey by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association.
Other top retailers – and a peek at some of their ads:
Those oh-so-jolly rappers at the Gap
The stiffer "spokespeople" for Old Navy
So besides touching or amusing us, how effective are these ads?
According to the survey, 16.8 percent of shoppers said their favorite holiday commercial motivated them to shop with that retailer and nearly one-third (32.8%) said there was no impact as they regularly shop there anyway.
