Where to Buy Neem: A Guide to Purchasing the Neem Plant and Its Products
Wondering where to buy neem? This popular plant has dozens of uses and is often packaged into organic soaps, shampoos, medications, even pesticides. Yet despite the large array of products that contain neem oil – this plant can be tricky to find. Fortunately, neem products are easy to obtain once you know where to look, and the question 'where to buy neem' can be easily answered.
A Quick Guide to Neem Products
Neem is a wonder-plant with a wide variety of uses. Its oils have been used to prepare cosmetics, treat ailments, and repel insects on organic farms. The Ayurvedic tradition has used the plant for thousands of years to treat a vast array of ailments from acne to fever to tuberculosis. In order to know where to buy neem – it's important to know what it will be used for first.
Consider the following products:
- Neem soap and shampoo
- Neem for dogs and cats
- Organic pesticides
- Neem Trees
- Neem Oil
Neem for Hair and Skin
For centuries the neem tree has been used for its medicinal properties. Today, neem soap and shampoo leave skin and hair clean and healthy while also battling a host of everyday issues. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of this essential oil help stave off problems such as acne, psoriasis, dandruff, and itchiness while also moisturizing and cleansing. Fortunately, this useful plant has gone mainstream and can easily be found in stores like Walmart and The Vitamin Shoppe. The key to purchasing neem oil at chain stores such as these is knowing what brands to look for.
Where to Buy Neem for Dogs and Other Pets
The medicinal properties of neem are beneficial to dogs and cats as well as humans. Using a neem dog shampoo or spray will promote a healthier coat as well as fight problems such fleas, mange, and ringworm. Neem leaf can be added to pet food to deal with intestinal parasites, although it is a good idea to discuss diet changes with a vet first. Neem pet products are easy to find at large chain stores such as PetCo as well as online.
Where to Buy Neem Insecticides
Neem can also be used as an organic pesticide to deter creepy crawlies such as snails, beetles, aphids, and mites. Safer than industrial applications, neem insecticides act as a repellant to deter insects from feeding. Neem oil can also affect certain hormones in insects to disrupt their life cycle. This organic pesticide, however, allows targeted application so beneficial visitors such as ladybugs and bees are not affected. Big brand stores such as Home Depot make the 'where to buy neem' list, however it may be easier to purchase this product online.
Where to Buy Neem Trees
Although buying pre-packaged products at a store can be convenient, knowing where to buy neem trees can save money and offer more options in the long run. Having a neem tree at home allows you to use all the parts of the tree including its leaves, bark, and oil. Finding a neem tree outside of India can be difficult, fortunately there are plenty of online options for getting your very own tree into your home.

Is Neem Oil Safe?
Neem oil is still relatively unknown in the West and so many people are approaching it with caution. Its many uses – from application as a pesticide to its use in cosmetics – can lead to confusion and hesitation. After all, how can something that kills bugs be good to put on one's skin? Neem's many uses however are backed not only by centuries of tradition but, more recently, by rigorous scientific studies.
What is in Neem Oil?
Neem oil is made of several compounds, the most active of which is called azadirachtin. According to the National Pesticide Information Center, run by Oregon State University and the EPA, neem oil is considered "practically non-toxic" to birds, mammals, bees, and plants. Azadirachtin, if ingested, can irritate the stomach and some people will find neem oil irritating to the skin. However, the substance should not lead to long term problems. In studies where rats were fed azadirachtin or neem oil throughout their lives, no effects were reported.
Why is Neem Oil in Pesticides and Soap?
Neem has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for centuries to combat problems such as acne, dandruff, and lice. It is also reported to promote shiny hair and healthy looking skin. According to the University of Rhode Island Landscape Horticulture Program in their 'GreenShare Factsheets', neem oil has little effect when applied on to insects. Rather, its effectiveness is mainly seen upon ingestion by insects. Neem is quite safe when used by humans externally.
Should I Buy Neem Products?
Any medicinal product should be used with caution and people will react to various substances in different ways. However, neem for human external use appears quite safe. Do check the product you're using and read all labels first. Also check what other ingredients may be in the product you're using.

URI Landscape Horticulture Program. GreenShare Factsheets – Least Toxic Pesticides. http://www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/sheets/leasttoxic.html (accessed April 5, 2013)
Neem for Dogs and Cats
Finding safe pet products is a concern every dog and cat owner has, yet knowing where to buy neem products that will help your pet is sometimes hard to figure out. Fortunately, neem is an all-natural product that has been proven through centuries of use. Neem pet shampoos and sprays are an excellent way to get your dog or cat clean , while also getting rid of ticks and fleas. Biting insects find neem particularly unpleasant and will be sure to leave your much loved pet alone.
Protection From Mites, Bites, and Worms
The neem tree uses a variety of compounds to protect itself from plants and these compounds can easily be transferred to protect your pets. Neem oil contains compounds called 'limonoids' which block insect growth. The oil does not kill insects – not immediately – but rather disrupts their ability to grow and reproduce. Using a neem shampoo or adding a few drops of oil to your pet's wash can help deter mites, fleas, mange, and ringworm. Many owners further argue that using neem oil not only fights bad bugs but helps create healthy skin, a shiny coat, and a radiantly healthy pet.
Using Neem Oil versus Sprays and Shampoo
Neem can be used in a variety of ways in order to help your pet. Recently, pet products containing this wonderful oil have proliferated on pet store shelves. Sprays and shampoos can easily be purchased either online or in stores. Purchasing a pre-mixed solution ensures the right amount of neem oil has been mixed in for an optimally healthy pet. However, it is also possible to buy neem oil and add a few drops to your pet's coat. Neem oil is strong however and could cause discomfort if undiluted. Instead, mix a few drops of neem oil with a lighter oil such as grape seed or almond (consider using a 1:10 ratio, with neem on the lighter end). Comb the mixture through your pet's coat. Although uncommon, keep an eye out for any irritation or stress. A little neem goes a long way in helping your pet be healthy and happy.
Where to Buy Neem for Pets
There are a variety of neem products available for pets, many of which are easy to find at local pet stores such as PetSmart or PetCo. For great deals or boutique products however, we recommend looking online. We've reviewed a few of our favorite products for those who want to do right by their pets without breaking the bank.
What is Neem?
The neem plant has been used for centuries in India to treat such a variety of ailments the tree is often affectionately called 'the Village Pharmacy' or 'Nature's Drugstore'. All parts of the tree have their traditional uses including the flowers, bark, and leaves. However, what the tree is best known for is its neem oil which is pressed from the plant's fruits and seeds.
All About the Neem Tree
The neem plant (Azadirachta indica)is a fast growing tropical tree native to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is particularly well known for its hardiness and resistance to drought, such that its ability to survive has made it a favorite for lining streets and city areas in South Asia. The tree tends to do best in temperatures of 70-90F. It averages a height of 50-66 feet but can grow as high as 130 feet. The tree is now grown in countries throughout Southeast Asia, South America, and in the warmer areas of the United States.
The Many Uses of Neem
Neem oil has many uses – some of which are more well-known than others. In the West, this plant is mostly used for its antiseptic qualities and as a pesticide. Neem oil can be found in soaps and shampoos to offer brighter skin and to fight off ailments such as acne and dandruff. The oil can also be found in pet stores and gardening aisles where it's sold as a safe, organic way to fight off fleas, grubs, and other pests. However, over the centuries, people have found plenty of ways to use neem, some of which are not so well known today.
- Neem twigs have traditionally been used to clean teeth
- Neem blossoms are used in Ugadi pachhadi, a type of curry
- Neem bark is used to make rope fibers
- Neem cake is used as a fertilizer
- Neem oil has been used in folk remedies for leprosy, tuberculosis, tetanus, fever and more
Where to Find Neem
Neem is easy to find in its home countries of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. However, those trying to find a safe, organic way to relieve ailments or fight off pests might struggle to find this miracle plant. Fortunately, the plant and its oils are becoming more popular outside of South Asia and various stores now offer neem products. First decide what product is needed (shampoo, insecticide, full grown tree), and then read our reviews on the various neem brands out there.

Hi, Casey! According to our research, here are the following recommendations for non-Hindu guests at Hindu wedding ceremonies: No black, white, or red (red is reserved for the bride). Cleavage/legs are somewhat okay at the reception, but not the ceremony - when in doubt, go for modesty and bring a silk shawl or wrap with you. Guests often sit on the floor at traditional Hindu ceremonies, so make sure your dress is comfortable and stretchy enough to do so. Here are eight lovely picks for you & your friends. Enjoy!
1 - Alberto Makali Grecian Inspired Evening Gown ($658)
2 - Adrianna Papell One Shoulder Beaded Jersey Gown ($188)
3 - Cynthia Rowley One Shoulder Georgette Dress ($204)
4 - JS Boutique Beaded Waist Jersey Gown ($198)
5 - Adrianna Papell Beaded Chiffon Gown ($238)
6 - Scala Halter Top Evening Gown ($198)
7 - Mignon One Shoulder Embellished Gown ($398)
8 - Tadashi Shoji Side Knot Silk Chiffon Gown ($358)

This post has nothing to do with me, but I have 2 cents to spare: #1 is really awesome, but that long sleeve might get really annoying. I love #8, but the back of it looks a little matronly; it also might not look good on a large bust. I am SO tired of one-sleeved styles; overdone. #4 is lower cut than I personally would be comfortable with, but I think it is really awesome.
I'm hindu and have been to numerous Indian weddings, both hindu and muslim,and I have never seen anyone wear a floor length gown. Usually, if girls are uncomfortable borrowing Indian clothes or just don't have that option it's perfectly acceptable to wear any form of knee-length cocktail dress attire. Yes, definitely do not wear mini-dresses or bare a lot of cleavage, and Outblush was spot on about the color choices, but aside from that you should be fine. Oh, and guests usually rarely have to sit on the floor - it's usually just immediate family for the ceremony.
ps - I absolutely adore #1.
Thank you so much for your advice, Ash! There was a lot of conflicting information online, so we decided to err on the side of modesty and formality and picked full-length dresses. Appreciate your help!
Also you might want to keep the weather in mind, it'll be winter time in november so you want to go with something with sleeves. I imagine most of it will be indoors but you dont want to be freezing during the time your outside
This really helped me find what to were to my husband's good friends wedding. I had no clue what to look for in stores. I love all of these dresses and the colors are amazing! I am going to get dress that is full length because the invite said that is was a very formal setting. thanks for the help!

"AS ABOVE SO BELOW" from Legendary/Universal opens Fri., Aug. 29, 2014.
STARRING: Perdita Weeks, Edwin Hodge, Ben Feldman and Francois Civil.
DIRECTOR: John Erick Dowdle ("Quarantine", "Devil")
SYNOPSIS: Archaeologist Scarlett Marlowe (Weeks) is in hot pursuit of alchemist Nicolas Flamel's legendary Philosopher's Stone the fabled artifact that has been said to turn metal into gold and grant eternal life to whoever possesses it. Her motivation comes from a desire to prove that her father, who went mad and killed himself in the same pursuit, isn't crazy. She also hopes to prove to everyone that the stone is real. To that end, she, her colleagues and several hipster explorers head into the underground catacombs of Paris to find the stone amongst grave that holds over six million skeletons.
Despite the French people's questionable usage of mass graves, there are several mysteries to be solved. For example, why this film is called a 'found footage' film. It's one way to explain the narrative approach but calling it found footage is a stretch.
Other films of this genre don't bother with any form of justification. Most of them just blunder into the story and trust the viewer to accept what happens. It usually works just fine for most people except those over-analytical critics who want a reason for fiction to be real. There's nothing that deep here. A reasonably pretty girl is semi-altruistic in herr effort to justify her father's suicide with her quest for the Philosopher's Stone. She and her friends go underground in Paris, a lot of creepy things happen and the ending is left open (more or less) for a sequel just in case this film makes a lot of money.
It's not a great film and it's difficult to care about these people. The part of the film that is the adventure ends much too soon. The rest of it that is the horror has been done to death. It might be time to bring this junk above ground where lighting tricks are easier for dull filmmakers to accomplish. Even the rank amateurs who make films for Chiller Network do better work than this. Some of those films are almost scary. This one is not.

These, above are shots of the interior main floor. They don't do justice to the space at all. I wish I had taken a better shot of the domed brick ceilings!
And these next three are shots off the veranda, catching in a bit of the pool, and down to the beach which is breaking just about 50-100 or so feet below.
Once again, the camera can't do it any justice. The view is absolutely breathtaking! And to hear the waves crash below as you sit by the pool is simply beyond mesmerizing.
This, below is a shot off the breakfast deck, showing Kirk, Jackie, and my husband Hal relaxing in the pool. It was the PERFECT temperature.

I found from indiegamer the driving force for making indie games. And the real reason behind making indie games is to get a chance to hear stories like this one: An eight year old boy bought indie game Dylo's World and with the help of his parents he started blogging about it.
He even produced (read: designed the concept and 'hired workforce' to do the sewing) a green Dylo creature that you can see on the left side pic.
Here are his comments about the outcome:
"It's not perfect, though. I forgot to draw the tail. And his shirt is blue instead of white because we didn't have any white fabric. But I still love him. He sleeps with me at night, and sometimes when the day breaks, I take him downstairs."
I think this is a marvelous story (and congratulations to southwindsgames too). If you GameProducer.net readers have a few minutes to spare, stop by at the fan blog and say hello to this fine young man.

I setup Dovecot and Postfix using the "Dovecot-Postfix" package with SASL and all that. The Dovecot part seems to be working fine but I'm having issues with Postfix.
Whenever I send a message to another address through the postfix server, two things happen.
the message never gets to the other address (even when I request a delivery notification, it says that it's been delivered but it's not in the spam box in the other inbox or anything)
The message comes back to my inbox through Dovecot as though I sent it to myself internally.
e.g. I send an email through my postfix server to my gmail account, 10 minutes later nothing shows up in my gmail account but the message comes back to me as though I was sending it to my internal address (with no errors)
Any ideas?

According to Friday's Fox 4 News, a United States Army Reserve Iraq war veteran crossed a busy interstate in Kansas City, Mo., and sat in the rain for hours, to save the life of an injured beagle who was struck by a car.
On Tuesday, Aaron Schneider saw the beagle get hit along Interstate 470 East; the driver who struck the dog did not stop, but Schneider did. By foot, Schneider crossed three lanes of traffic to reach the injured dog and he managed to get him off of the busy roadway.
After phoning 9-1-1, Schneider sat in the rain, by the dog's side, for almost three hours, waiting for help to arrive. Eventually, the dog who previously would not allow anyone to touch him, had enough trust in Schneider to make a move from the side of the road possible.
The dog's new, life-saving friend constructed a makeshift stretcher and carefully loaded the dog into a friend's truck.
Schneider stated:
At the end of the day, my combat lifesaver training kicked in, and I'm thankful I was able to use it to help him,"
"Having served in Iraq, you see a lot of loss, which is one of the reasons I was determined to see him make it."
The dog, dubbed "Buster," by staff at the Chipman Road Animal Clinic, was stabilized and then moved to BluePearl Veterinary Partners for specialized care. Though Buster has extensive injuries, including broken bones and internal bleeding, he is expected to recover.
Dr. Brian Lucas, a board-certified veterinary internal medicine specialist veterinarian with BluePearl Veterinary, credits Schneider with saving Buster's life:
Without question, had Mr. Schneider not have helped Buster get to a veterinarian, he would have died from his injuries,
The non-profit organization, Friends of KC Animals, has taken Buster, and his veterinary expenses, under their wing. Anyone hoping to contribute to his care can do so here.
Buster's owners have not been located - the man who saved him from dying alone on the interstate intends to offer him a permanent home as soon as Buster is healthy enough to leave the hospital.

Senior Drew Reynolds
April 4, 2014
HOUSTON, Texas - Drew Reynolds' two-out single up the middle in the ninth scored a pair of runs lifting East Carolina to a Conference USA series opening win over No. 12 Rice, 3-2, Friday night at Reckling Park.
With the game knotted at one-all heading to the ninth, ECU (18-12, 7-3 C-USA) sent seven batters to the plate scoring a pair of two out runs to take its first lead of the contest. Charlie Yorgen was hit by a Matt Ditman pitch to start the inning and moved into scoring position on Garrett Brooks sac bunt. Eric Tyler reached when he as hit by another Ditman pitch with one out and Hunter Allen loaded the bases with a single to shallow left field. After Dylan Brown popped up to short on an infield fly, Reynolds delivered with a shot back up the middle plating Yorgen from third and Tyler from second for a 3-1 advantage.
Rice (21-11, 9-4) made it interesting in the bottom half of the ninth pushing across a run, which cut the lead to 3-2. Shane Hoelscher and Connor Teykl laced consecutive singles off Ryan Williams setting up Michael Aquino's sac bunt that moved both runners into scoring position. Ford Stainback ground out to Allen at short for the second out, which allowed Hoelscher to score, pulling within one. Williams closed the game notching his third save when he got Blake Fox to ground out back to the mound on a high chopper, giving ECU its first opening series win against Rice since 2006 - the Owls first year in Conference USA.
Jeff Hoffman (2-3) was impressive on the night allowing one run (earned) on seven hits in eight innings of work. The right-hander, who punched out seven Owls and walked one, recorded at least one strikeout in six of eight frames with two coming in the eighth stanza. After allowing his lone run in the fifth, Hoffman retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced - four via strikeout - before turning the game over to Williams to start the ninth. Williams worked the ninth facing five batters where he gave up one run (earned) on two hits.
Ditman (2-4) suffered the loss allowing a pair of runs (both earned) on two hits with a walk and one strikeout in 2.1 innings of relief. Starter Zech Lemond scattered four hits over 6.2 innings with four punch-outs, two walks and surrendered one run (earned) before leaving the game with an injury.
Rice broke the scoreless tie in the fifth on Kennan Cook's RBI single up the middle. Fox got the inning started when he singled to right center with two outs. John Williamson and Cook followed with consecutive base hits back up the middle with Cook's knock scoring Fox from second.
The Pirates knotted the game at one-all in the sixth on Ian Townsend's base hit down the left field line. Allen started the frame when he was hit by a pitch and quickly moved to second on Dylan Brown's sac bunt. Reynolds followed with the second of is three hits before Zach Houchins reached on a fielder's choice putting runners on the corners and forcing Reynolds out at second. Townsend, who reached base twice in the contest, sent a hard shot down the line plating Allen to pull ECU even with Rice.
ECU will be back on the diamond Saturday, Apr. 5 when they take on Rice in game two of the conference series. First pitch has been moved up to a 1 p.m. (ET) start due to potential inclement weather in the area later in the afternoon.

Esperanza Rising
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Esperanza Rising Chapter 5 Summary
Las Guayabas (Guavas)
- They arrive at a barn, where Señor Rodríguez is waiting with a wagon and lots of crates of green guavas.
- Here's the plan: The men have built a false floor in the wagon. The women will lie down in the space between the floors, so that no one will see them leaving town. They'll take the cart to Zacatecas and catch the train there.
- It looks a little claustrophobic to Esperanza, and she wants to sit in the front with Miguel and Alfonso. But it's just not safe.
- Off they go. The women lie down and the men cover the floor with guavas. If anyone sees them on the road, it will just look like a farmer and his son are taking a cart of guavas to market. No big deal.
- To distract Esperanza, Hortensia tells the story of how, when she was small, they had to hide from some bandits who broke into the house.
- Here's the story:
- Miguel, Hortensia, and Esperanza hid under the bed, but what they didn't know was that Miguel had a mouse in his pocket. Great.
- The bandits were searching the bedroom when a pin poked Esperanza and she made a noise. No!
- But quick-thinking Miguel pushed the mouse out from under the bed, and the super-scary bandits figured the noise had come from the mouse. They left, and Hortensia, Esperanza, and Miguel were safe.
- To reward Miguel for protecting his most prized possession (his daughter), Papa asked Miguel what he wanted as a reward.
- Money? Toys? A lifetime supply of jelly beans? Nope. What Miguel wanted most was to go on a train ride.
- And that's the end of Hortensia's part of the story. Esperanza picks it up from there, though, remembering the train ride that Miguel earned as his reward.
- Miguel was eight, and Esperanza five. They had taken a day-long train ride from Aguascalientes to Zacatecas.
- The children wore their best clothes, and we're pretty sure Miguel looked ridiculously cute in his little bow tie.
- Their car had soft leather seats, and the dining car had white linens, silver, and crystal. When the waiter asked if he could bring them anything, Esperanza responded, "Yes, please bring lunch now." Well that's blunt.
- Papa, Miguel, and Esperanza had been the image of a doting father and two privileged children.
- In Zacatecas, a woman boarded the train carrying carved mangoes on a stick that looked like exotic flowers. Papa bought one for each of them.
- Back in the present, Esperanza wishes they could travel to Zacatecas in comfort, like they did that day when she was five.
- No can do this time. Now they have to take back roads, with the women hidden under a giant pile of guavas. Not exactly first class.
- It takes them two days to travel from Aguascalientes to Zacatecas in the wagon. When they arrive, they hide the wagon in a thicket of shrubs and walk into town.
- Esperanza is looking forward to a comfortable train ride, but they sure don't board the fancy car with leather seats. Instead, they board a car with wooden benches, crowded with peasants. It's dirty and smelly.
- Esperanza has never been around peasants before. She tells Mama that they can't ride in this car—it's not clean, and she doesn't think the people look trustworthy.
- Mama tells her daughter to check herself before she wrecks herself. This is all they can afford now.
- Esperanza sulks. Turns out being poor is no fun.
- She opens her case to check on the doll, and a little barefoot peasant girl runs over to see it. Esperanza quickly jerks it away—she doesn't want a dirty peasant girl touching her doll.
- Mama apologizes to the peasant girl's mother for Esperanza's bad manners, but Esperanza is appalled. She and Mama shouldn't even be sitting in this car—why is Mama apologizing to a peasant?
- Esperanza is in for a major lecture from Mama. She's acting like a spoiled brat.
- Mama tells Esperanza that being rude to people because they're poor is like being rude to her friends Hortensia, Alfonso, and Miguel. She needs to cut it out, and quick.
- Esperanza feels ashamed and sulks in the corner.
- The little peasant girl is still crying so Mama gets Esperanza to help her make a doll out of yarn. She gives it to the little girl, who is pleased as punch.
- It seems to Esperanza like the train ride is never-ending. And whenever they stop, Miguel and Alfonso get off the train with a mysterious package. Hmmm.
- Not surprisingly, Esperanza is super cranky. Miguel keeps chattering on about trains and how cool they are, and she wishes he would be quiet already.
- Miguel dreams of working for a railroad. Papa was going to get him a job, and Miguel gets misty-eyed just talking about it.
- Apparently, in the United States, you can get a job on a railroad without having connections. So hey, maybe he can make his dreams come true.
- On the fourth day, a woman gets on the train with six chickens. She sits down next to Mama and Hortensia, and the three women quickly warm up to each other.
- The woman's name is Carmen. She explains that she is poor, but she has everything she needs to be happy: her children, a rose garden, her faith, and the memories of her loved ones who have died.
- Mama finds this woman really inspiring. Soon enough, she loosens up and tells Carmen all about her troubles.
- Esperanza is really confused. Before Papa died, Mama would never have been this open with a peasant woman.
- She tries to tell Mama not to tell a peasant all their personal business, but Mama says it's all right—now they are peasants, too.
- When Carmen gets off the train, Mama gives her three of the lace doilies she has made, and Carmen gives Mama two chickens. They hug goodbye like they've known each other forever.
- In front of the station, a crippled beggar holds her hand out to a group of wealthy men and women. They ignore her, but Carmen gives the beggar some tortillas and a coin.
- Miguel points out this selfless act to Esperanza: "The rich take care of the rich and the poor take care of those who have less than they have" (4.96).
- Esperanza doesn't understand why Carmen has to help the beggar at all. After all, right next door is a market with all sorts of fresh food.
- Miguel can tell that Esperanza doesn't get it. He tells her that in Mexico, people with Spanish blood and light complexions are the wealthiest, and people with dark skin are poor. Esperanza feels guilty that she's never noticed this before.
- But she doesn't have to worry about that now—they're going to the United States, where she won't have to worry about pesky problems like racism and poverty. Right?

"Previews" Set the Stage for New Student System
"Campus Community." "Academic Structure." These terms can conjure up a number of images. In the world of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, they encompass some of the new concepts and opportunities that will characterize the University's new student information system.
Learning what these, and other, PeopleSoft terms mean and the concepts they represent is the first step to making decisions about how the system will work for U.Va. This learning is taking place through a series of "Previews," facilitated by consultants from CedarCrestone, Inc.
Over 200 people from across Grounds were involved in 39 Preview sessions – which also include topics pertaining to Admission, Financial Aid/Student Finance, Student Records, and University Services – held over 6 weeks in February and March.
"The Previews provided stakeholders with an opportunity to see how PeopleSoft looks and works, while also sharing our business and system requirements with the SSP team and consultants in the context of the new system," explains Charlie Grisham, SSP Director. "This exchange will help all of us make important system setup decisions in the very near future."

"I'm not bald! I've just got fine feathers, that's all!"Apollo (アポロ, Aporo?) is a cranky eagle villager in the Animal Crossing series. He also appears in Dōbutsu no Mori as a minor character. His name possibly came from Apollo 11, the first spacecraft launched by the United States to land a man on the moon. He is a bald eagle, specifically, the national bird of the United States of America, which ties in with his birthday being July 4 - Independence Day. His name also may come from the Greek God Apollo, who is also rather snobbish and hostile, referencing his cranky personality. He appears on the album cover for Soulful K.K.
— Picture quote, Animal Crossing: Wild World
Apollo is a bald eagle with a dark gray body, feathers, and a white head, a typical bald eagle look. This relates to his picture quote. He has a yellow beak and feet with white claws at the end of them. Apollo's wings slowly fade into a white color. His eyes are white semi circles embroidered with a black outline and all-black pupils. His original shirt is a Zipper Shirt which is black with a gray zipper pattern on it.
Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here.
As a cranky villager, Apollo will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. Sometimes when a female player meets Apollo, he will flirt a little bit. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace rather than competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy and normal villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with lazy and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.
HouseApollo's house is a modern and elegant mix of furniture that includes items from the modern series, the chess series, and some fossils. His stereo plays Soulful K.K. in all the versions - except New Leaf, where he plays K.K. Rock.
In the Animal Crossing Movie
|Warning: Spoilers start here.
Apollo is a minor character in Dōbutsu no Mori with his Animal Crossing name. He appears grumpy like in the games, and slowly warms up to Ai after the incident with Yu and Halberd (Alfonso) knocking over Ai into his flower patch, causing a small rift between them. He forgives her, but only because he did not realize Ai was still nervous around him. In the film, there are rumors that he and Bianca, the white wolf, were once a couple. This is apparent when they are close to each other, giving vacant stares at each other, and never really talking to each other. Also, in the end credits of the movie, a bouqet of blue roses appear in front of Bianca's doorstep and Apollo seems to be the only one in the village with a garden with blue roses.
|Spoilers end here.
E-Reader Card Info
Name: Apollo
Star Sign: Cancer
Clothes: Zipper Shirt
Pet Phrase: "Pah"
Profile: He may look scary, and he's a bit mean when you talk to him, but Apollo's not as bad as he seems. He's like a loud-mouthed older brother, but even more annoying. Oh, and don't ever call him a mooch.
- Oddly, despite his name, species, and birthday being related to the United States, he does not ask for an American-themed home request in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Instead, Peanut asks for that theme.

A Washington witness driving along Interstate 5 in Vancouver approaching the Padden Parkway overpass reported a 7-foot-tall, translucent entity crossed the roadway, according to February 8, 2014, testimony in Case 53965 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was approaching the overpass about 2:45 a.m. on January 31, 2014, and "slammed on my brakes" when the 'entity' appeared in the middle of the road.
"I saw a being hovering about 5 feet above the ground in the middle of the freeway of the fast lane (I think it was in the process of crossing the freeway)," the witness stated. "It was about one and-a-half car lengths in front of me. It was staring straight at me and all I could feel from it was extreme fear."
The witness described the entity.
"The being was translucent in appearance, about 7 feet tall. It had long lanky limbs. It did not appear to be clothed yet did not look naked as it was reflecting everything around it like you could see through it but it still obviously had a definite form. It had a human-like form except that it had two semi-long flaps of skin/hair (was hard to distinguish due to its translucence appearance) that was attached the the head (from its profile it looked like it had slicked its hair/flaps back. The head was smooth and graduated into those two flaps by the nape of its neck. They were about 6 inches long."
The witness reported that the entity immediately began to move.
"Then it faced east and took off running. However, it did not run like a human being or any animal I've seen. It ran with its whole body contorting/bending in half in a repetitive motion fast while hovering. It did this extremely fast, leaving sort of a trail or impression of itself across the freeway. It ran across the median to the other side and into the bushes on the other side of the northbound freeway where an on ramp meets the I-5."
The witness had come to a complete stop.
"The whole time I stayed idling in my lane on the freeway. From the time I saw it and slammed on my brakes to the time in took off running across the freeway, everything was in extreme slow motion, like time was altered. It felt like the whole event took 10 minutes, but in reality the clock had only changed a minute at most. I was the only car on the road. It was foggy, but the area where the entity was, the area had no fog and the street light gave a golden orange glow to everything. The entity seemed to absorb this light. The being did not seem to have defined features. Then I drove on, freaked out!"
Vancouver is a city along the north bank of the Columbia River and is the county seat of Clark County, WA, population 161,791. Washington has a UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports. Washington was the 6th highest reporting state with 27 reports in January 2014 - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
Recent reports of low flying UFOs from around the country include:
- Witness considering UFOs disguised as jets

I'm using MySQL 5.5.27. I currently have a BLOB column, that I want to convert to text to allow fulltext searching. The
ALTER TABLE command to create a text column is successful, but the
ALTER TABLE table ADD FULLTEXT INDEX index (column ASC) to create a fulltext index returns an error, saying I cannot create a fulltext index on that column.
When I go back and look at the specs for the table, it appears as BLOB, instead of text.
I'm using MySQLWorkbench, but I've generally been running the scripts by hand, instead of using the wizard.
I have tried setting a character encoding for the entire schema (none existed before) thinking that this would be needed for text columns, but it didn't help.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Adlai Stevenson, himself a notable speaker, often reminisced about his last meeting with Churchill. I asked him on whom or what he had based his oratorical style. Churchill replied, "It was an American statesman who inspired me and taught me how to use every note of the human voice like an organ." Winston then to my amazement started to quote long excerpts from Bourke Cockran's speeches of 60 years before. "He was my model," Churchill said. "I learned from him how to hold thousands in thrall."

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.

Called Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, the new program blends "improv" animation with the same type of improv comedy found in Carey's Whose Line Is It Anyway?, during which comedians perform an improvised comedy skit centered around a topic that's suggested by an audience member. But for the Green Screen Show, instead of performing the sketches on a regular stage, the dozen or so comics get their laughs on a greenscreen set, sans props and backgrounds. But that accounts for only half the show's fun.

JWC TO JEAN CARLYLE; December 1828; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18281200-JWC-JCA-01; CL 4:424-425.
Craigenputtoch / Monday [December 1828]
My dear Jane
Here is a very old coat, and some fractions of old trowsers which Carlyle bids me send to your Mother—with what view, I cannot possibly imagine; unless it be to nail currant bushes—or rig out a pottato-boggle [scare-crow].
I take the opportunity of sending at the same time my tin dressing-box which you may perhaps find useful in holding little sundries— The whole 'sendung' is of the most precious description; and it is to be hoped you will welcome it in your choicest mood.1
We are all quite well here but exceedingly cold and illnatured. I hope Carlyle told your Mother how much I was gratified by her kind present. I assure you I am very vain of the beautiful little shawl so vain that I rode to Templand with it above my habit. Jemmy would tell you of the gallant expedition2 which Mary and I executed in Carlyles absence? But nobody can have told you how we were bitten with the cold— or what temptation we resisted to halt for whiskey at a public house by the way. I shall not travel in a winter day again without a small phialfull in my pocket.
My kind love to you [al]l and a kiss to your Father, if any of you dare give it him.
I shall certainly see your Mother before long— She will come up hither if there is grace left in her; at all events I will be down—
I hear you are very diligent and very good. I on the other hand am very idle and bad. I have done no one useful thing for a week except making thee two daidlies3—
Affectionately yours /
Jane W Carl[yle]

"I was proud of the resiliency our girls showed in the second and third sets," Bulldog head coach Jenny Hazelwood said. "We fell behind early and had several calls not go our way late in the match but our girls managed to keep their composure and keep fighting. Kentucky is a solid team that plays well at home. In the end, we just did not play well enough to beat a top-15 team on the road."
UK stole momentum right out of the gate with a 9-0 run to break a three-all tie early in the first set. After taking the first point of the match, MSU managed to keep the set tied early but the Wildcats' .400 hitting percentage was too much as State dropped the opening set 25-13.
The Bulldogs put their early struggles behind them and pushed Kentucky to the limit in the second frame. Senior Dani McCree picked up three kills during MSU's first five points of the set to give State an early 5-4 advantage. The Dogs and Cats fought back-and-forth with eight ties in points 11 through 20. With MSU facing set point at 24-22, UK had seen enough and rattled off four straight points to take a 2-0 lead into intermission.
Mississippi State's momentum remained strong early in the third set as it managed to keep up with the Wildcats until five all. UK gradually took control of the clincher for a 25-21 win.
McCree finished with eight kills and only a single error for a .318 hitting percentage, while freshman Kimmy Gardiner paced MSU with 11 kills to go along with eight digs and two service aces.
Sophomore Taylor Scott tacked on five kills to go along with her team-best 11 digs, while the setting duo of Suzanne Horner (17) and Katlyn Mataya (11) combined for 28 assists. Horner also added seven digs and Mataya notched two service aces.
Feast or famine has been the case for MSU through seven conference matches as all have been three-set matches thus far. The Bulldogs are also nearing their home record for wins but have yet to win a true road match.
Sunday afternoon the Bulldogs will look to return to their winning ways as they travel to Athens, Ga., for a matchup with Georgia at 12:30 p.m. CT.
Next week MSU will travel to Alabama (16-5, 4-3) on Nov. 1 followed by a matchup with Auburn (12-7, 3-4) on Nov. 3 that will be televised by CSS. When MSU returns home on Nov. 6, it will face Ole Miss (11-10, 1-7) at 7 p.m. on ESPNU.

An unexpected day's adventure with an experience that has yet to be matched. Fresh into a journey to travel around the world recording the year of 2000. The con-crescent between one millennium and another and what the world "was" at that moment in time.
War is most certainly a fact of our existence and I was fortunate to skip it when turning 18 at the end of the Viet Nam war in 1974. I had learn to hunt and shoot as a natural part of growing up in Montana, but I have never had to take aim at a man and pull the trigger... not with a gun anyway. I shoot every image I take. Environment to eye, to mind, to heart, shoot.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Sounds different when it comes out of the end of the gun than the slam of motor drive winding. Grenades and smoke and hate and guns and nobody is to certain of all the why's. Bam! Bam! Bam! I got everything that I aimed at that day, not a bad day of hunting.

Hadi Mizban, Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A sharp rise in attacks on Sunni holy sites in Iraq is feeding fears that the country could spiral into a new round of sectarian violence similar to the bloodletting that brought Iraq to its knees in 2006 and 2007.
Majority Shiites control the levers of power in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. Wishing to rebuild the nation rather than revert to open warfare, they have largely restrained their militias over the past five years or so as Sunni extremist groups such as al-Qaida have targeted them with occasional large-scale attacks.
That may now have changed.
If it turns out that Iranian-backed Shiite militias are responsible for the recent attacks on Sunnis, it could signal a turn toward cyclical retaliatory violence.
At least 29 Sunni mosques were attacked between mid-April and early May, according to Mahmoud al-Sumaidaie, the deputy head of Iraq's Sunni Endowment, which oversees the sect's holy sites. At least 65 Sunni worshippers were killed, according to a tally compiled by The Associated Press from police reports.
By contrast, two Shiite mosques were hit in bombings that killed one person over the same period, police and hospital officials said.
In all of 2012, there were only 10 recorded attacks on Sunni holy sites, al-Sumaidaie said.
In a sign of increasing fears by the Shiite-led government that the country might be descending into sectarian strife, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned last week that terrorists and extremist groups are taking advantage of the turmoil by targeting "certain areas and mosques."
"The attempts to stir sectarian strife again by warlords, terrorists, and militia leaders will not succeed and we will confront them with full force," he said, adding that the army and police would boost security around houses of worship.
Even if the will is there, al-Maliki's government is considered too weak to ensure security and control militias and other extremist Shiite groups that are allegedly linked to and partly financed by Iran.
And many contend that al-Maliki's government planted the seeds for more sectarian tension by becoming more aggressive toward Sunnis after the U.S. military withdrawal in December 2011.
For the past five months, Sunnis have been protesting against what they claim is second-class treatment by the government and to demand an end to some laws they believe unfairly target them. Violence has flared on occasion between security forces and protesters.
But the matter came to a head April 23 after government troops moved against a camp of Sunni demonstrators in the town of Hawija, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) north of Baghdad. The clashes there sparked a wave of violence across Iraq that has killed more than 230 people, posing the most serious threat to Iraq's stability since the last American troops left in December 2011.
Al-Sumaidaie suggested the spate of recent attacks on Sunni mosques might be aimed at pressuring Sunni protesters to quit their anti-government rallies.
"These attacks aim to terrorize the worshippers and they might be a reaction on some issues such as the protesters," he said.
He also accused Shiite militias of being behind the recent attacks on Sunnis, but refused to specify which groups.
In February, Sunni households in mixed areas of Baghdad began receiving threatening leaflets signed by a militant faction known as the Mukhtar Army. The leaflets called Sunnis the enemy and warned them to leave the neighborhood. Their appearance raised new concerns among many Sunnis in the capital because overt threats like that had largely disappeared as widespread sectarian fighting waned in 2008.

Diamond Jubilee: Big Ben Clock Tower name change to Elizabeth Tower gets MPs' support
10:31 02 June 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
A plan to rename the tower which houses Big Ben as the Elizabeth Tower in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee has won the backing of MPs.
Forty MPs have signed a Commons early day motion calling for the east tower at the Palace of Westminster to be formally renamed from the Clock Tower.
The motion was tabled by Conservative Tobias Ellwood and has the backing of all three main party leaders.
A formal letter of support has also been circulated with more than half of MPs signing up to the proposal, Mr Ellwood said.
He has written to Commons leader Sir George Young to request that he raises the matter with the House of Commons Commission for formal consideration later this month.
Such a move would not be without precedent.
When the Palace of Westminster was rebuilt in 1860 the west tower, known as the King's Tower, was renamed the Victoria Tower to commemorate the long reign of Queen Victoria - the only other monarch to complete 60 years on the throne.

On April 15, 2014, Manalapan health Examiner Stacey Chillemi reviewed the 299-page book "Holistic Pain Relief by Dr. Heather Tick" This book offers an easy-to-follow plan that provides the reader with extraordinary information, tools and techniques that help heal pain naturally.
This 299-page book on holistic pain relief was intriguing. Packed with knowledge, informative information and the element of surprise, it was enjoyable to read all the interesting facts and research scattered throughout the book. She began the book sharing her own experience about her life, how she encountered her own pain and how she struggled to find the best solution to cope and rid her body from the pain she was enduring. Reading her own experience, made you feel like you were not the only one on this planet dealing with pain that causes you to feel frustrated, depressed and hopeless at times.
She goes on to discuss the success she had using acupuncture and chiropractic care. It was extraordinary to learn how these two holistic methods help cure her and made such a dramatic impact in her life.
As the book unfolds, you surprisingly begin to see how the health care system and the pharmaceutical companies do not always look out for the patient's best interest. One example, in the book discusses a study conducted by the Journal of the American Medical Association, which concluded that our health care system itself is the third-leading cause of death in the country. The study covered a host of causes including, errors, unnecessary surgeries, infections, and side effects of properly prescribed drugs approved by the FDA. This makes you stop and think and you begin to wonder maybe there is a better way. This is when my attention to the words in the book deepened and I began to develop a deep focus on what other holistic methods and alternatives are out there that could cure pain without having to rely on unnatural solutions that in the long run cause me more pain or health problems. This book covered all different types of ways to cure your pain naturally, so you could go on to live a happy, healthy and productive life.
Through reading this book, you begin to realize that our body was created to heal itself and using the right alternative methods, detoxifications, exercises and by eating properly, we can help our bodies heal itself from the pain that forces us to live in agony. This book is a life-changing book that I highly recommend to anyone suffering from pain.
Dr. Tick's, book is exciting packed with outstanding advice, tools and techniques and I find this book to be a motivating and enjoyable read. This book may be just what the doctor ordered for anyone experiencing any degree of pain. Dr. Tick was in a quest to find and save herself from the pain that entered her own life and with this book; she will undoubtingly save and change the lives of many.

For the past several months I've been involved with, but unable to publicly discuss, an exciting project called RubyMotion. My friend Laurent Sansonetti, creator of MacRuby, has now officially launched a serious alternative to Objective-C for iPhone and iPad development.
RubyMotion is not a bridge; it actually generates native applications that are as fast as the ones written in Objective-C . You can check out Ars Technica's exclusive article for more details on the project and watch the Pragmatic Studio's 50 minute free screencast about it to get a better idea of how RubyMotion works in practice.
For a limited time you can buy RubyMotion at an early bird discount rate of 25% off. It's such a productive and affordable solution, that I'm sure it will quickly become popular among Ruby developers who are interested in iOS development and testing, as well as among existing iOS developers.
Many of the questions you may have can likely be found in the FAQ section, but feel free to ask any additional questions here. Enjoy it.
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
So basically this compiles ruby code to objective C? It's kind of like mirah?
What is the difference between this and an app coded with MacRuby?
> We do not believe that Xcode makes a good environment for … development in general).
Why not just learn the right tool for the job instead of making Ruby fit every single task? You learn more that way.
Congratulations and Go get 'em!
Will I be able to write Mac apps with rubymotion?
Can you explain how MacRuby was modified to enable this? How is garbage collection handled/not handled?
I sincerely welcome and appreciate your comments, whether in agreement or dissenting with my article. However, trolling will not be tolerated. Comments are automatically closed 15 days after the publication of each article.

It took a while for the rising tide of craft beermaking to reach Chicago's shores. For many years, from the late 1980s until about a decade ago, it was Goose Island and not much else. But change -- which initially came gradually -- has become a flood, with dozens of new breweries coming on line just within the past few years.
This history will be documented -- by the glass -- over the next week in an event called "It Comes in Waves" staged by Fountainhead on Chicago's North Side. It Comes in Waves is the restaurant and craft bar's contribution to Chicago Craft Beer Week, which has spawned numerous events around the city and its suburbs.
From Wednesday through next Tuesday, Fountainhead will provide a rotation of beers on tap representing what executive chef Cleetus Friedman describes as the four waves of Chicago craft beer.
"There's the first wave, Goose Island, Three Floyds, Two Brothers, who are now the grandfathers of the craft beer movement," Friedman said. "Then you have the second wave, which is Half Acre, Metropolitan, Revolution. Then you have the third wave, which is a million. You have 5 Rabbit, Solemn Oath, Ale Syndicate, DryHop, Begyle, Pipeworks, Spiteful, Off Color, Penrose. The list goes on."
Friedman includes himself in the fourth wave, which is made up of one-off collaborations among brewers and between brewers and culinary types like himself. "I've done over 30 collaborations," he said.
In fact, a spirit of collaboration is one of the trademarks of craft beer nationally, a "rising tide lifts all boats" philosophy as producers in this sector work to erode the longstanding dominance of mass beermakers such as Anheuser Busch and MillerCoors. "It's an amazing community of people who just want to bounce ideas off each other.... It's this communal celebration of the craft that makes what we do so exciting. I've never seen bad blood among any of them," Friedman said.
Friedman is native of Baltimore, where he began his career in food before moving to Chicago in 1995. He added that there's an element of Midwestern nice that lubricates the clubby relationships within the Chicago beer community. "Me being from the East Coast, what I love about the Midwest is this mentality of friendliness. There's none of that, 'I'm gonna [expletive] take you down,'" he said.
He added that the recent proliferation of local breweries is forcing producers to up their game by experimenting with different styles and ingredients, something that will be in evidence in the beers on tap during Fountainhead's It Comes in Waves event.
"It's amazing to see the quality coming out of all of these people and how they differentiate. You can't just put out a pale ale because nobody's gonna care," Friedman said. "Our capacity for knowledge and our palate has become so distinguished that you have to put out something amazing and something different."
Fountainhead is located at the corner of Montrose and Damen in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood.
Note: Fountainhead is located in the Ravenswood neighborhood. The original post of this story mistakenly identified it as River North.

|Kayla heads to Australia
Kayla Mortellaro's first international adventure is going to be one to remember. She's playing in the 2013 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open – the first stop on this year's LPGA Tour.
"I'm going to just try to keep playing golf the way I always play golf – one shot at a time," said Mortellaro, the most successful golfer in University of Idaho history and the first Vandal to earn a playing card on the LPGA Tour. "It's a golf tournament; just golf. I can't make it any more than that."
But … "It's pretty exciting to be starting in Australia."
Mortellaro left last Saturday for the Land Down Under with a practice round scheduled for Tuesday and the tournament beginning Thursday – for Mortellaro. If you're going to be following the Australian Open online, Mortellaro's tee time is 6:20 p.m. Wednesday in the Pacific Time Zone and 1:20 p.m. Thursday at the Royal Canberra Golf Club.
"There's not a whole lot of time for adjustment to the time difference," Mortellaro noted but she's in the same situation as dozens of other golfers from around the world who will be teeing off in the 157-player event worth $1.2 million.
"This is a completely new experience," she said. "In an LPGA Tour event, there are going to be some nerves and some unexpected things that happen. I just have to eliminate the distractions and focus on golf."
That is exactly what Mortellaro needed to do to qualify for the LPGA last fall. After a grueling march to the Tour's final qualifying tournament, Mortellaro soared to a 79 in her first round of the five-day qualifier before battling back with a 67, two 69s and a 72 to earn her card.
"I tried to make it like it was just golf," she said. "You couldn't make it bigger than it was or you wouldn't be successful."
She took that mindset and a dogged determination with her to Australia.
"Overall, my game needs to be better," she said. "It needs to be consistent. That's the one key to being successful – the consistency within the round, within all four days of the golf tournament, throughout the year as well."
Mortellaro, whose equipment is sponsored by Ping with her balls and gloves provided by Titleist, knows four rounds aren't guaranteed. After the first 36 holes, the field is trimmed to the low 70 and ties.
"I'll either be playing Saturday or Sunday or seeing something of Australia," she said. "I'd much rather be playing golf."

Sears and Kmart launch streaming video service this ChristmasPosted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsAs physical media sales continue to drop it looks like the smart money is in streaming content.

ESPN3 comes exclusively to Xbox 360Posted on June 14, 2010 | No CommentsThe recently relaunched ESPN3 online portal is coming to Xbox 360 , as just announced during Microsoft's pre-E3 press conference. Trey Wingo and Josh Elliott from SportsCenter are on stage demonstrating with footage from a USC / Ohio State game, and of course it has built in Kinect controller support. 3,500 live sporting events, instant replays, highlights, polls all at your fingertips or by the sound of your voice. The PiP stuff will be familiar to fans who have already indulged online, but with the new control aspects (and of course, HD streaming) it could give a reasonable alternative to the existing channels. The usual requirement of Xbox Live gold is present, but beyond having a TV provider / ISP that's signed up for the package, there's no additional charge.

Microsoft's new lens tracks your face, steers 3D images to your eyes (video)Posted on June 14, 2010 | No CommentsGlasses-free 3D has taken several forms, but most have a critical flaw -- viewers have to stand in predefined locations to get the effect. That just won't do, so Microsoft's prototyped a new approach, and it's one of the wildest we've seen. Taking a cue from Project N... we mean Kinect, cameras track the face while a special wedge-shaped lens traps bouncing light, and after the beams have reached a "critical angle," it exits towards the viewers eyes, aimed by programmable LEDs at the bottom of the screen. Since the system can beam a pair of simultaneous images to two different places, the obvious use is stereoscopic 3D, but researchers found they could also send different images to different viewers, as a sort of privacy screen. If that sounds far fetched, you're not alone -- but you'll find a video proof-of-concept at the more coverage link.

NHK prototypes one-fourth of a 116-inch, 8K plasma set (video)Posted on June 11, 2010 | No Comments33 megapixel, 8K Super Hi-Vision displays for quite some time now. As the story goes, in 2005 the group's Science and Technology Labs estimated a necessary 0.3mm dot pitch for plasma screens in the 100-inch category to achieve the necessary 7,680 x 4,320 pixels for display. At the time, the best plasma could muster was 0.9mm, but now the researchers have created a prototype 58-inch screen with 0.33mm pixel pitch. Ergo, four such prototypes stacked together should create a 116-inch window to the world that just about displays 8K video. It's still a ways off from market, but be honest, are you really already griping about the visible pixels on your 1080p set? Totally inadequate web video version after the break.

The Internet has been set ablaze with news that Colorado's Governor John W. Hickenlooper has proposed a bill that would release those convicted on marijuana charges and expunge the conviction from their record. This is because of a "news" story called Colorado Governor Set To Release Those Convicted On Marijuana Related Charges, Expunge Records posted over the weekend by Chase Logan at National Report.
Here's something that everyone jumping all over this article seems to have missed:
*DISCLAIMER: National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental . The views expressed by writers on this site are theirs alone and are not reflective of the fine journalistic and editorial integrity of National Report. Advice given is NOT to be construed as professional. If you are in need of professional help (and you may be if you are on this page), please consult a professional. National Report is intended for a mature audience and not for children under the age of 18.
While the right thing to do may be to release people whose crime is now perfectly legal, there is currently no confirmed plan to do so. The National Report's story would best be chalked up to political activism, as the story ends by saying, "Contact Governor John Hickenlooper with your support here." Until the public demands it, they will continue to pay for people to rot in prison for something that is no longer a crime.
