Olympic record
Colombia made their debut at the Women's Olympic Football Tournament at London 2012, when drawn in a fiercely tough Group G against holders and eventual champions USA, France (who finished fourth) and Korea DPR. And though conceding just six times in three games, despite being up against some of the sport's most prolific attackers, Las Chicas Superpoderosas were unable to avoid three defeats and last place in the section.
The road to Rio
Las Cafeteras booked their place at the next edition after finishing second behind Brazil at the 2014 Copa America Femenina in Ecuador. Victors of Group A with four wins from four games and just one goal conceded, against Venezuela, Colombia went on to take second spot in the four-team final round thanks to a win over Ecuador and draws with Argentina and Brazil. The generation that should take the stage in Rio in 2016 will be a more mature and experienced version of the Chicas Superpoderosas crop that burst onto the global scene with a fourth-place finish at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Germany 2010 and impressed at the senior showpiece at Germany 2011.
The coach
Holder of a degree in Physical Education, Fabian Felipe Taborda was brought in by the Colombian Football Association in February 2012 to take charge of the women's U-17 squad – who he guided to qualification for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cups at Azerbaijan 2012 and Costa Rica 2014. Promoted to senior team coach in July 2014, just a couple of months prior to the Copa America Femenina, his steady hand took Las Cafeteras to the only available qualifying spot for Rio de Janeiro 2016, as well as a place at the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™.
Key players
Yoreli Rincon, Natalia Gaitan, Sandra Sepulveda
The stat
0 – the number of games Colombia lost at the Copa America Femenina, while the team also conceded just twice in seven matches.

Megan Frampton: An Author's Journey
Megan Frampton joined AAR as a reviewer during the summer of 2002. Her life sounded pretty glamorous to me - living in New York and working (as does her husband) in the music industry. Some of her child-rearing questions (she had a very, very young child at the time) seemed pretty out there to me, signalling that yet another member of AAR's staff was nothing if not unique. And she could write...wow, could she write wonderful reviews.
But at the start of 2004 it was time for her to go, though we still stayed in touch, and meeting her at RWA this year was a delight. Perhaps my favorite part of RWA was taking out Megan, Robin, Sandy, and Nora (Marianne was being feted by her publisher that evening) to a favorite restaurant, asking for a room in which we could be "loud," and sharing a wonderful meal. Her husband, who'd been writing for a music magazine, apparently collected old albums, and when she named the name of perhaps the most absurd, I almost did a spit-take with my wine. It was none other than Robert Mitchum Sings Calypso, an album I'd found during high school in my own parent's collection (and laughed like a hyena about with my best friend Jeff at the time).
That story says little about Megan but it says a lot about the friendships that have grown out of AAR. Although I miss Megan's reviews terribly I was incredibly happy when she emailed me earlier in the summer to say her first book, a traditional Regency, had sold. Knowing how informative and popular Marianne's Journal had been I asked if Megan might do something similar for AAR, and she agreed.
She sent me her first segment earlier in the month, which we held until her contract was signed. That happened this past week, and I am proud to present the first installment of Megan's Journal.

|East Carolina vs. UAB
Feb. 25, 2012 | 5 p.m. EST
Greenville, N.C.
TV: None
|Watch | Live Stats | Game Notes | Tickets | Gameday Central
The Pirates will be looking to end a four-game losing streak Saturday. Their last victory was an 82-68 win over Rice on February 4.
East Carolina is 3-11 all-time against UAB, but have never beaten the Blazers in Greenville. The Pirates are 0-5 versus UAB at home.
Since the Pirates defeated UAB in Birmingham on Jan. 28, the teams have gone in opposite directions. ECU is 2-4 since that game, while UAB is 5-1.
East Carolina is 9-6 at home this season, while UAB is 5-7 on the road. However, the Blazers are 4-2 on the road in C-USA this season and the Pirates are 2-4 against league rivals on their home court.
ECU has been a streaky team this season. Three times it has won three or more consecutive games and three times it has lost three or more straight games. The Pirates longest winning streak of the season is five and its longest losing streak is six.
After shooting a season-low 16.7 percent (4-24) from behind the arc against UCF, ECU shot 38.9 percent (7-18) from 3 at Memphis on Wednesday. The Pirates have shot over 35 percent from behind the arc in five of the last six games.
ECU leads Conference USA in steals per game (8.1). The Pirates have never been the league leader in steals at the end of a season in school history. Through 26 games they have tallied 210 steals, 23 shy of the school record of 233 set during the 1990-91 season.
8Senior Darrius Morrow has scored double figures in 16 of the last 19 games, shooting 54.6 percent from the floor (101-of-185). Morrow is averaging 13.6 ppg in conference play. He had 24 points in the first game against the Blazers this season.
Junior Miguel Paul leads Conference USA in assists per game (5.8) and total assists (150). Paul ranks third in the league assist-to-turnover ratio (2.1). He currently in fifth-place on the school's single-season chart.
Junior Shamarr Bowden netted double figures with 13 points against Memphis on Wednesday, sinking 3-of-4 3-pointers. He ranks among the top five in the conference in 3-point field goal percentage and 3-point field goals made per game.
Sophomore Robert Sampson is coming off his third double-digit rebounding performance of the season with 10 boards at Memphis. He has grabbed 10 rebounds in two of the last three games and is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game in those contests.
Junior Erin Straughn scored 13 points in the first match-up with the Blazers this year. However, he has not scored since taking an elbow to the face at home against Memphis. He missed the following game against Marshall (for an unrelated reason) and didn't scored in either of the last two games against UCF and Memphis.
UAB leads the all-time series, 11-3.
Darrius Morrow scored 24 points as East Carolina snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating UAB 73-66 on Saturday night. Morrow made 11 of 15 shots for the Pirates, who also defeated the Blazers the last time they met, 75-70 in last season's conference tournament quarterfinals. Morrow scored 22 in that game. East Carolina closed the first half with an 18-5 run to lead 36-26 and increased its margin to 17 points, 56-39, with 9:30 remaining. Cameron Moore scored 10 straight points to start a 17-7 run by the Blazers that trimmed their deficit to 67-64 with 28 seconds left. Four free throws by Miguel Paul and two by Robert Sampson secured the Pirates' victory. Paul scored 14 points, Erin Straughn 13 and Maurice Kemp 12 for East Carolina. Preston Purifoy had 17 points and Moore had 14 points and 13 rebounds for UAB.
Jamarr Sanders scored 17 of his game-high 26 after halftime as UAB rallied from a double-digit deficit in the second half to defeat East Carolina, 66-59, here last season. The Pirates outscored the Blazers 12-3 in the first 3:41 of the second half to turn a three-point halftime lead into a 12-point advantage, 39-27, making five of its first seven shots out of the locker room. Consecutive 3-pointers by Jamar Abrams and Erin Straughn capped the run as ECU scored six unanswered points. UAB then proceeded to go on a 22-10 run over the next 9:11 to tie the score at 49-all, with Sanders scoring 10. ECU guard Brock Young untied the game with a 3 to give the Pirates a 52-49 lead with 6:46 to play. UAB then scored 11 straight points to take an eight-point lead. Sanders' lay-up with 2:30 to play capped the outburst and gave the Blazers their biggest lead of the night at 60-52. Following a 3-pointer from Jontae Sherrod and a jumper by Abrams, the Pirates were down only three with 45 seconds remaining. However, Aaron Johnson made 4-of-4 free throws in the final 38 seconds to end the Pirates' hopes of a comeback. Sherrod and Abrams scored 16 points each. Young also finished in double figures with 10 points. Both teams shot the ball at a much higher percentage in the second half. UAB converted on 54.5 percent (12-22) of its field goal attempts after halftime, while ECU connected on 50 percent (11-22) of its second half shots. The first half was back-and-forth affair with five ties and five lead changes with neither side leading by more than five points. The final lead change of the half came just before the buzzer sounded with Abrams draining a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give ECU a three-point lead, 27-24, at intermission. The Blazers dominated the glass in the second half, grabbing 17 rebounds, including seven offensive boards, compared to eight total rebounds by the Pirates. UAB scored 10 second chance points after halftime and limited ECU to five second half offensive rebounds.
The Pirates will play their final home of the 2011-12 season Wednesday night against Marshall. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

We Won't Help Sell Your Apartments in New York, Manhattan
That's right, the odds of this luxury Manhattan real estate broker actually personally escorting a buyer through your door if you list with us aren't great. It is a long shot that we will be bringing you a direct buyer that writes the contract that leads to the actual sale of your Manhattan apartment. Chances that one of the other thousands of other Manhattan real estate brokers will bring the buyer for your home, are much higher.
Now– we're NOT saying is to hire any Manhattan real estate broker to list your home! Because the truth of the matter is the odds don't go up significantly that any one of them has that magical buyer either.
During the listing agent interview process you may hear "I have buyers!" to try to sway you into hiring them…Stop and think about that for a second.
What is the likelihood that any individual Manhattan real estate agent has a buyer that is:
a) looking in your borough?
b) looking in your neighborhood?
c) looking in your price range?
d) looking for a home with your EXACT characteristics, ownership stake & features?
I'm being honest with you when I state the odds just aren't good of having that perfect match. General industry statistics say that it breaks down to about once every 2 years if they are lucky, that this will be a perfect storm; in Manhattan that chance is even less.
But let's assume they DO have that perfect match, whether you list with them or not, they should be bringing that perfect match buyer to your home as soon as you're on the market, right? They should be first in line because they've already seen your home, KNOW that it matches their buyer and they'll want to have first dibs on your Manhattan apartment.
Basically, our role as top Manhattan listing agents is to be the procuring cause of the sale of your apartments in Manhattan, not necessarily to personally bring you the buyer. Again– chances are it will be one of the thousands of other agents working Manhattan that will have THE buyer for your Manhattan property. I work with you as a Manhattan home seller to get it priced right with minimal stress due to my working appraisal knowledge, rebut a low home appraisal if necessary, and prepare the Manhattan property to make your apartment the most appealing it can be to buyers. Couple that with an expert marketing techniques (see my Manhattan realestate Press Tab for proof) to increase the odds of that one right buyer locating your Manhattan apartment.
So hire your listing agent based upon their appraisal expertise, along with their ability to market your home better than anyone else–and NOT because they say "I have buyers!". Before hiring just anyone, ask your Manhattan real estate broker if they have a working appraisal background to offer you the highest level of true expertise on what's probably the largest investment of your life.

Trio Da Paz & Joe Locke
Live at JazzBaltica (MaxJazz 140701)
Joe Locke (vibes), Romero Lubambo (guitar), Nilson Matta (bass), Duduka da Fonseca (drums).
Composed by Romero Lubambo.
Recorded: live at JazzBaltica, Salzau, Germany, July 1, 2007
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Combine the technical prowess and passion of Joe Locke and Romero Lubambo, and you can't help but ignite fireworks, namely exciting Brazilian jazz. Add the other dynamic members of Trio da Paz, Matta and Fonseca, and the sky's the limit.
"Bachi"o" was previously recorded by Trio da Paz with Kenny Barron for the pianist's Canta Brasil CD, and remains one of Lubambo's most engaging compositions. The title itself mixes Bach with "bai"o," a Northern Brazilian rhythmic genre. After Lubambo's lyrical and poignant intro, the circular, strutting theme is introduced, which culminates in a "La Fiesta" type of hook. Locke solos first over the alluring rhythm set down by Matta and Fonseca, his solo concise but sizzling. Lubambo follows similarly, short and to the point. After Matta's elegant bass solo, Locke and Lubambo embark on an intense dual improvisation, totally in sync, their fascinating counterpoint perhaps a nod to the Bach part of the title. While enthusiastic applause crests and subsides, Fonseca begins his own solo using mallets exclusively, building inexorably to a possessed peak, before rather abruptly winding down.
A video of this track, which was broadcast on German TV and can be seen on Joe Locke's website, shows the appreciative glances and hand slaps between Locke and Lubambo, clearly affirming that this was no ordinary performance.

Nominations open for Qld senior LGBTI community awards
Not every older gay person has the celebrity profile of activist and actor Sir Ian McKellen; in fact, the invisibility of older people in a community obsessed with youth is one of the downsides of being an older LGBTI person.
Too often the media neglects the achievements and fails to reflect the interests of people who have strayed the 'wrong' side of 60, 50, 40; or whatever your definition of 'old' might be.
But older people do contribute to the community, often unseen and unacknowledged, and the Qld AIDS Council (QuAC) hopes to bring some of them out into the open with its inaugural 'Visible and Celebrated' LGBTI Seniors Awards, the nominations for which close July 26.
Helen Daintree from QuAC's Ageing Diversity Project told QP the awards are a way to start shifting our thinking towards older LGBTI people, both in our community and in mainstream society.
"As an older lesbian who had to remain invisible and hidden for a while, I think it's long overdue that all the contributions that we have made in our community and the mainstream become visible," she says.
Daintree says youth is valued more than age, wisdom and experience in mainstream society, so it's no surprise that cultural practices in our own community are similar.
"I was a sociologist," she says, "so I see cultural, social and economic factors at work to set forth cultural practices. You see themes repeated around ageing as being a negative state and a time when you're losing stuff and you're 'less than'.
"But I'd like to know: Who's our oldest student? Performer? Teacher? We just don't know about those contributions. We're going to uncover some real treasures."
The awards are open to current Queensland LGBTI residents aged 60 and over and you can nominate a person in one of 12 categories:
ACTIVISM on any issue;
MENTORING and EDUCATION of any kind related to mentoring support, teaching any age, anywhere (not limited to formal institutions of study);
LIFELONG LEARNING still doing formal study of some kind (not limited to university study);
PRESERVING HISTORY of LGBTI people or other people and places;
PERFORMING ARTS music, drama, dance, drag, etc;
VOLUNTEERISM with any group or organisation, local, national or international;
LITERATURE and FINE ARTS including writing, painting, sculpture, photography, etc;
SPORT and RECREATION active in competitive or recreational pursuits;
HEALTH and WELL-BEING e.g. Runs workshops on meditation, fitness, health research, etc;
RURAL and REGIONAL LIFE activities focused on people living outside the urban south east Queensland region;
ENVIRONMENT or SCIENCE e.g. A bush or wildlife carer, data collector, recycling projects; and
PERSEVERANCE and PERSISTENCE anyone who is an inspiration due to persistence in pursuing an issue.
Apart from being 60+, nominees must be a current resident of Queensland and identify as LGBTI.
Nominations close July 26.
Winners will be announced at QuAC's 30th Anniversary High Tea on August 24, 2014.

Energy Use
- There is a campus-wide effort to update lighting systems in each building. Morton, Jones, McGlothlin-Street, and James Blair Halls have all undergone lighting renovations in the past year. Adair is the next building to undergo a lighting renovation.
- Occupancy sensors are now in place in almost every office, lab, and building across campus. Swem Library alone has over 200 occupancy sensors, paid for by the first round of Green Fees project spending.
- The lighting at William and Mary Hall will be overhauled in the next year. Globe lights in the hallways will be replaced with linear fluorescent bulbs, and the rest of the incandescent lights will be replaced in the near future.
- The Facilities Management shops behind the Campus Center are receiving 12 LED wall pack fixtures for their outdoor light fixtures.
Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning
- Variable Speed Drives are now being placed in HVAC systems across campus; Washington and Tyler Halls were upgraded this spring.
- Direct digital control over HVAC systems in each building is the norm for all new and renovated buildings on campus. Morton is currently being upgraded to digital control. The Jamestown residence halls, the Rec Center, the Laycock building, Miller Hall, and the School of Education all have or will have digital control.
- A new HVAC chemical treatment program will improve energy efficiency and reduce water use all across campus.
- In buildings where there is no centrally controlled system (such as the Jamestown Road offices), individual programmable thermostats have been installed.
On-Campus Production
Each of the two on-campus steam power plants have been renovated.
- The plant behind Swem Library has been consolidated and renovated.
- The plant behind the Campus Center has been gutted; the decades old infrastructure has been replaced. #6 oil (which creates a high amount of greenhouse gas emissions) is no longer used in the plant. 99.9% of the fuel used in the plant is natural gas. Oil is used mainly as a backup fuel.
- A new chiller plant and new piping are coming soon to the Campus Center plant, each providing savings in efficiency.
- All chillers and towers are being replaced on buildings on old campus. These provide 30% of the campus's thermal load, and will see a large increase in efficiency.
- A new hot-water loop operates at a lower temperature than before.
- In the Sorority Court / College Apartments / Brown area, each building received a new heating system, each with individual natural gas controls, and new steam and hot water piping.
- Energy Star applicances are the standard for all applicance purchasing at the College.
- LEMA premium motors are the standard for purchased motors.
- The grounds & landscape equipment runs mostly on purchased biodiesel fuel.

Why does my child snore?
Alan Adler, MD, is a pediatric pulmonologist practicing at Cardon Children's Medical Center. You can reach him at (480) 614-6655.
Question: My son snores when he sleeps. Is this normal for children or could there be something wrong?
Answer: Snoring in children is very common. It is estimated that up to 25 percent of all children snore. People snore when air moving through their throat is not flowing smoothly. It is like water moving through a narrowed part of a river, it's noisy. People tend to snore at night because all their muscles including the ones in their throat tend to relax when they sleep.
Most often snoring is not a problem but it can be. Snoring may be a sign that your child is not getting enough air when they sleep. It is then referred to as Sleep Apnea. The consequences of this besides not getting a good night's sleep can be frequent headaches, being irritable and moody, or not being able to do one's best at school, at sports or at work. Severe snoring or airway obstruction can be the cause of learning or behavior problems and even chronic lung and heart problems.
The most common reason that younger children between the ages of 2 and 8 years snore is because their tonsils or adenoids are too big for their throat. As their facial bones grow, the tonsils and adenoids shrink creating room in their throats for the air to get through. There are certainly other reasons children snore. People snore when they have a cold, when they haven't sleep in a while and are sleeping very deeply. Snoring can be due to being over-weight, a deviated nasal septum, a small jaw and nasal allergies.
If you have concerns, you should discuss your child's symptoms with his/her doctor. It can sometimes be helpful if you bring an audio or video tape of your child sleeping. There a variety of tests that can help your doctor determine whether your child's snoring is a problem. The best part is that the problem is usually easily fixed and in many cases can leave you with a much happier youngster.

Ryan Gosling gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Ryan Gosling in the opposite direction
Steve Granitz /Jason LaVeris /Getty Images, FayesVision /WENN
Not too long ago, the answer to the question "Ryan Gosling or Robert Pattinson?" would have been, no hesitation, Ryan Gosling. Today? I could have never predicted it. But it's Robert Pattinson. Check out Ryan Gosling last night at the AFI Fest premiere of The Big Short. It's just not the same, is? I can't properly explain why. Full Story
Ryan honours Saoirse

Ryan Gosling was at the Hollywood Film Awards last night to present to Saoirse Ronan. He directed her in Lost River. She was given the New Hollywood Award. And that's basically why the Hollywood Film Awards are totally ridiculous. Since when is Saoirse Ronan "new"? She was nominated for an Oscar (for Atonement) SEVEN YEARS AGO. Full Story
Emma Stone Mia Wallace?
Will Butler just released a new video for his song Anna. And it's basically Emma Stone dancing her way around a cruise ship. As you can/will see, she's delightful. And expressive, expressive in a way we haven't seen much from her, which is saying something because Emma Stone is already pretty expressive. Full Story

I interviewed Josh Brolin for Gangster Squad a couple of years ago. Half our interview was about Ryan Gosling's balls…which wasn't actually what I was asking. All I did was throw Josh a question about Ryan, what's he like to work with, their chemistry, etc. And then he started talking about Ryan's balls and how they're like a "vineyard". Full Story

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are working on Damien Chazelle's La La Land. I think these are the first shots we've gotten of them in the same frame, so I'm attaching for you to look at, even though there's nothing new to say. It's a musical. They'll be singing and dancing. Full Story
Emma & Ryan in blues
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are working on their third film together called La La Land directed by Damien Chazelle. You know him from Whiplash. And Miles Teller recently told ESQUIRE that Ryan's role was originally supposed to be for him but Damien changed his mind, saying he was no longer right for it. Full Story
Emma Stone's pretty shoes
Emma Stone at the Irrational Man premiere in Hollywood last night. It opens in limited release next week. Reviews aren't great. I mean they're not terrible, but for the second summer in a row she's in a Woody Allen movie and no one's going to see it. What was that last one called? Midnight In The Moonlight? I don't even care enough to google it. Full Story
Ryan Gosling & Feminist Mad Max
Ryan Gosling was photographed yesterday in Hollywood, apparently on break from shooting The Big Short in New Orleans. He looks really good here. Last time I posted pictures of him he had dark hair (click here for a refresher) and I still haven't washed the bad flavour away yet. Full Story
Ryan Gosling goes dark
Have you seen Ryan Gosling in The United States Of Leland? It was years ago. His character had dark hair. He was adorable. Ryan Gosling is currently working on The Big Short. His character has dark hair. He is not adorable. Maybe it's age. OMG, in this case, a rare case, is age actually gender democratic? Ryan Gosling, the celebrity human pillow, now in his 30s, doesn't look good with dark hair. Full Story
Ryan Gosling's Lost River review
Bauer-Griffin, Splash News
Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River, opened to widespread scorn and general derision at last year's Cannes Film Festival. Now, it is available on streaming platforms and in three theaters nationwide in what distributor Warner Brothers says is absolutely the release they always intended for Gosling's debut feature film and is in no way a quick and relatively quiet shuffling off of an embarrassingly bad film from a high-profile rookie filmmaker.

Gillislee SEC player of the week after Gators victory over LSU
DeLand product scored two TDs in win; No. 4 UF faces Vandy next
Published: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 10:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 10:59 a.m.
DeLand High product Mike Gillislee was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, following Saturday's two-touchdown performance in the No. 10 ranked Gators' 14-6 win over No. 4 LSU.
No. 4 Florida at Vanderbilt
WHEN: 6 p.m. Saturday
RECORDS: Florida 5-0, 4-0 SEC; Vanderbilt 2-3, 1-2
LINE: UF by 7
Gillislee accounted for both of Florida's touchdowns and ran for 146 yards on a career-high 34 carries in the victory that elevated the Gators to No. 4 in The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday.
The 5-foot-11, 209-pound Gillislee had the best rushing game against LSU since Arkansas' Kniles Davis ran for 152 yards on Nov. 27, 2010. The UF senior came within 2 yards of matching his previous career best of 148 yards against Bowling Green earlier this season.
Gillislee leads the SEC with 548 yards on 103 carries for an average gain of 5.3 yards through five games. He has had three 100-yard outings, including two games against ranked opponents in which he averaged 130.5 yards (the second-best total in the nation for running backs with at least two games against ranked teams).
On Sunday, Gillislee was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation's National Offensive Player of the Week.
Florida junior defensive back Matt Elam was named the SEC co-Defensive Player of the Week for his role in leading a Gators defense that at one point held the Tigers to 33 consecutive snaps without a first down.
Elam led Florida with seven tackles and forced a fumble after a 56-yard LSU reception. That takeaway set up the Gators' game-winning touchdown.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Android 4.1 update now rolling out in Germany
The oft-promised update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is finally rolling out. It looks like the first country to get it is Germany, which is where the Wi-Fi-only Note 10.1 tablets have started to pop up update notifications to their owners.
The update is around 300 MB big, and after applying it you'll be running software version XXBLJ9 (Android 4.1.1). Of course, the rollout is staggered, so not all German Note 10.1 Wi-Fi tablets may have it. As always, if you're impatient you can manually check to see if it's reached your particular device yet.
If you're not in Germany, you'll still need to be patient. However, you can also be reasonably happy now – it's clearly only a matter of time until this update rolls out across the world.
The update brings with it more S-Pen functionality (on par with what's seen in the Galaxy Note II), improved multitasking, a few new apps, and a faster overall system, as well as the Jelly Bean-specific bits and pieces. So obviously a worthwhile update, this one.

It was just last year that Madonna's junior clothing line, Material Girl, made its debut with Taylor Momsen as the cover girl for the ad campaigns. However, it looks as if the company chose to go in a different direction after the announcement that Kelly Osbourne will become the new face of Material Girl. Kelly's rep confirmed the announcement in a statement, "Material Girl is thrilled to confirm that Kelly Osbourne is the new face for 2011. We will be sharing all the details on this exciting new campaign in the coming weeks". Kelly's own personal style has evolved over the years as she has grown up. Currently the star is a co-host for E! "Fashion Police".
The clothing line, sold exclusively at Macy's, features clothing and accessories ranging from $12 to $70. The pieces from the collection are young, with a rocker-chic style. Taylor Momsen, during last years promotion described her take on the line. "It was such an honor to be chosen by Madonna and Lola. Madonna is the original Material Girl. She's the one who did it for herself and did it to the fullest and -- without using profanity -- she said, 'This is who I am, and this is who I'm going to be' and she stuck to that all through her reinventions"
Be sure to check out the Material Girl blog for some fun fashion tips and inspiration, and then head to your local Macy's if your looking to find some funky pieces to your wardrobe.

Andy Bey: Lush Life
Lush Life
Andy Bey (vocals)
American Song (Minor Music MM 801117)
Andy Bey (vocals), Geri Allen (piano),
Paul Meyers (guitar), Kiyoshi Kitagawa (bass), Mark McLean (drums).
Composed by Billy Strayhorn.
Recorded: Englewood, NJ, November 2003
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
Andy Bey's voice is unique, but so is his phrasing, his diction and the atmosphere he can conjure up on almost any song he decides to sing. "Lush Life" is a special case because of the special connection the singer feels with Strayhorn's compositions. Here, Bey concentrates on singing and leaves the piano to Geri Allen. The result is great. The verse is played as a slow, full-of-depth duet with Allen before the rest of the band enters. When Bey is through with the words, he scats or rather improvises sounds while the instrumentalists create a loose environment that seems to float randomly around the singer's voice.

There was a dangerous form of staph infection that once lived in hospitals in the 1980s.
It started appearing in people in the 1990s - people who had never been to the hospital.
The germ, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, has ballooned into an Amarillo problem in the past three to four years.
The dangerous form of staph infection is resistant to most antibiotics and appears as a large pimple or boil.
People who have the highly contagious bacteria on their skin are three times more likely to have a surgical-site infection.
"An MRSA abscess can be very dangerous and harmful to a person if it continues to get bigger and bigger and doesn't go away," said Charlotte Wheeler, infection control practitioner at Baptist St. Anthony's Health System.
Now, community health officials are bringing area hospitals - once the only home for these problems - to join the fight in preventing the spread of this bacteria.
A coalition of nine public health officials and hospital infection control officers are examining ways for hospitals to control and track the bacteria, although they have nothing finalized yet.
"It's not just one hospital, all three hospitals are looking at it so it's seamless," Wheeler said.
The group has meet three times since April to discuss possible actions.
"We're all having trouble with MRSA, and it's out in the community," Wheeler said.
The Amarillo Public Health Department tracked just one case of community-acquired MRSA in 2002. That number moved to 233 in 2004 and almost 500 last year.
An MRSA infection presents itself as a little abscess that looks like a pimple but is hard to open.
The area becomes harder over time.
"People often mistake these things as spider bites," Potter and Randall County Health Authority Dr. Rush Pierce said.
The hospital advisory group, still early in the process of developing a game plan, has examined several options for control.
"We're looking at some things like doing prescreening for MRSA," Wheeler said.
Hospitals would check patients for the bacteria with a nose screening upon arrival.
The coalition also launched a public education initiative.
Hospitals are developing a system to isolate any patients with the disease.
Hospitals also have developed a system that helps health providers by flagging patients who have had MRSA in the past.
Pierce said doctors have more antibiotics than they did five years ago, but physicians also have to test for it more carefully than they did in the past.
Health providers need to break the chain to reduce the spread of the bacteria.
"The biggest thing with MRSA is that it's really contagious," said Hector Mendoza, Amarillo Public Health Department assistant director.
Mendoza said the health department started tracking the disease in 2003, but it has grown to be a serious problem.
"It's high enough to where Dr. Pierce has felt we need to have an advisory group," Mendoza said.
MRSA is relatively new to the arena of community acquired diseases.
"We're in the beginning process of seeing how we can control or take care of this," Mendoza said.
What is MRSA?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a strain of staph bacteria resistant to many antibiotics.
MRSA causes skin infections that resemble a pimple or boil.
Things to remember
Hand washing is important.
Keep wounds that are draining or have pus covered with clean, dry bandages.
If you have an MRSA infection, do not share personal items such as soap, towels or clothing.
See your doctor if you think you have MRSA.

Word on the street is that HBO wants to get us revved up for the season 4 premiere of "Game of Thrones." According to Matt Carter on Jan. 24, the network has cooked up a special preview that will be show on February 9.
The actual series premiere is scheduled for April 6 but until then, the folks at HBO want to give us a little taste of what's in store on the latest season of the George R.R. Martin adaptation. Part of the presentation will be a recap of season 3 but it will definitely include plenty of new footage.
The special will air at 8:45 p.m. ET that Sunday. The preview episode is entitled "Game of Thrones Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing." This is one week after the Super Bowl and there really won't be any other schedule conflicts unless you're heavily into the 2014 Winter Olympics which will be underway by then.
As February chugs along, HBO will begin churning out more promotional information, clips and pictures to keep us waiting patiently for that April premiere. Check back here often for updates, spoilers and news as it becomes available.

Browse the glossary by selecting a letter or by entering an arthritis-related term:
A condition in which the blood vessels in the fingers and toes spasm in response to stress or cold temperatures, resulting in pain, tingling and numbness. It can occur on its own or in conjunction with another condition, such as lupus or scleroderma.
The distance and angles at which joints can be moved, extended and rotated in various directions. Range-of-motion exercises put joints through the various planes of movement, which helps improve mobility and function.
A chronic form of arthritis that often occurs following an infection of the genital, urinary or gastrointestinal system. Features of reactive arthritis include inflammation of the joints, eyes and structures within the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts, such as intestines, kidneys or bladder.
A period when disease symptoms improve or disappear completely. Sometimes remission of rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, is permanent. More often, however, it is punctuated by flares the disease.
A condition in which legs feel uncomfortable and may have a crawling sensation while you are sitting or lying down. Getting up and walking may bring temporary relief, but the symptoms usually return when you lie back down. Although anyone can have restless legs syndrome, it is more common among people with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Diseases that affect the joints and soft tissues. They can cause pain and, in some cases, inflammation, tissue damage and disability.
A term used loosely (thought not as widely used as it was in the past) to refer to conditions that cause pain and swelling in the joints and supporting tissues.
An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation (with pain, stiffness, swelling) – and if not controlled, can lead to joint deformity. Most commonly, the smaller joints of the body are affected, such as those of hands and feet, wrists, elbows, knees and ankles. Inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis may also affect internal organs.
An autoantibody that is present in the majority of people with rheumatoid arthritis.
A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating arthritis and related diseases. To become a rheumatologist, a person must graduate from four years of college with an undergraduate degree; graduate from four years of medical school, at which point he or she is a doctor; spend two years beyond medical school as an intern, two years in an internal medicine residency and then an additional three years of clinical training in a rheumatology fellowship. Rheumatologists may also do research, teach or work in business fields.

The area of Cedar Glade/ Drake, Arizona is merely a ghost town now. Only foundations, adobe walls, and a cemetery remain off a trail along a forest road. The foundations are east of the railroad tracks. Drake Cemetery cannot be accessed from Drake Road as the old bridge over Hell Canyon is closed by a limestone quarry. The cemetery is not very large and not easily seen.
This area was a railroad shipping point and was named for William A. Drake who helped construct the line. Drake was originally named Cedar Glade—just a small town that grew due to the mining of lime and quarrying of sandstone. The old railroad bridge over Hell Canyon was completed in 1901. It connected Cedar Glade (north side of canyon) with Puntenney (south side of canyon). There was a hotel, general store, and a restaurant nearby. In 1920, the name Cedar Glade was officially changed to Drake. Today the historic ruins around Drake are off limits due to the construction of a large cement plant.
Hell Canyon was so named because of the rough and difficult wagon road between Ash Fork and Prescott. It was stated in 1864 by Judge Allyn, "About ten o'clock we got under way and an hour brought us to the most infernal canyon for wagons I have yet seen. It was about 300 feet deep and the sides nearly perpendicular, and covered with rolling stones."
A recent visitor to the tiny Drake Cemetery made a discovery as he was photographing the forgotten tombstones and surrounding landscapes. Something small and silver was glimmering from beneath the dirt. He dug it up with his pocket knife and examined it. Not knowing exactly what it was he found, he tucked it in his pocket and brought it home. Friends have advised him to return the item to the cemetery grounds.
After checking with a few friends it was determined that the small charm was not so "charming" after all. It was made in the likeness of a Loup Garou. In some Cajun legends, the creature is said to prowl the swamps around Greater New Orleans, and possibly the fields or forests of the regions. It is most often is described as a creature with a human body and the head of a wolf or dog, similar to the werewolf legend. Some believe that the Loup Carou dig up corpses from cemeteries and devour them. The only cure for the Loup Garou was exorcism, spilling blood or death!
Perhaps the charm was left there to curse someone---or curse anyone who might come along to desecrate the grave sites. Was it placed at the cemetery for protection, or did someone summon or have an encounter with a skin walker? It is important to never remove an item found in a cemetery whether it might be a piece of jewelry, pottery, or a beautiful rock. Leave whatever energy—good or bad—there at the cemetery you are visiting.
This is not the first tale of mystery that has been told along Highway 89 near Hell Canyon, Drake, and the Paulden, Arizona vicinity. Workmen at the local cement plant have seen the ghost of a young girl near the entrance of their work place. There is also an additional Cedar Glade Cemetery on the cement plant property that is not assessable to the public. Drivers commuting from Ask Fork to Paulden have witnessed a ghost on the Hell Canyon Bridge late at night that disappears as you drive across the highway structure.
Maybe it is something about the land…or something that occurred in the area many years ago. One should keep their eyes open and senses keen as they travel along Highway 89—something out of the ordinary seems to be happening there. Fasten your seat belt!

The primary use for this material is gasket fabrication. It also can be used for creating environmentally-friendly performance shoe insoles, and shock-absorbent material for mobile device cases. Additionally, Poron® can be used as a water retardant, spacer, motor mount, vibration isolator, EMI/RFI shield, sound dampener, and gap filler. According to the Rogers Corporation website, the following information is available about Poron®.
Most common method of processing Poron® is die cutting. For more information about methods used to process Poron®, refer to the following section.
Poron® Processing Methods
Die cutting - advantage is commonly throughput (allows many strikes per minute); disadvantages include setup labor and time, die acquisition and qualifying time (cost, wear, storage), difficulty with precision, difficulty with tolerance, and it can cause roll-over on edges (with thicker materials).
Waterjet cutting - advantages include minimal setup time, thick foam cutting (fairly fast with straight lines); disadvantages include the cost of equipment, possible water contamination, throughput (slower than other methods), and thin material or small features can be difficult to cut.
Computer controlled knife cutting - advantages include thin materials can cut well at high speeds with specialty machines; difficulty cutting thicker materials, blades can dull, pull, and distort softer materials, and it can be slower than other methods.
Laser cutting - advantages include that it works with the whole range of thicknesses of Poron®. However, this process works exceptionally well with thinner material and design files where precision is a necessity. Laser material processing allows the ability to produce scalable, accurate products using a non-contact method. No roll-over of the material edges is experienced with laser cutting. Complex pieces are easily cut with a cauterized and smooth edge quality. Parts drop out of the larger piece after cutting cleanly. Small parts work especially well with laser processing as it allows for tighter tolerance. For more information about Laser material processing, refer to the Laser processing section.
Laser processing is ideal for cutting or engraving Poron®, and works well with the whole range of thicknesses, 0.012 - 0.500 in. The following describes the different laser material processes that work best with with Poron®.

According to the Dark Sky Festival Harmony organizing team, " The purpose of the Dark Sky Festival at Harmony is to expose the general public to the marvels of astronomy and the importance of protecting dark skies - not just for astronomy purposes, but also for the values that darkness provides to area wildlife.
Our entire family-friendly festival is held outdoors in low light conditions on the streets, sidewalks and park located in Harmony Town Square.
Due to Harmony's efforts and the support of the County Commissioners, an ordinance now requires new lighting in the County to be protective of dark skies. In a county that includes portions of Walt Disney World and has extensive brightly lit tourist commercial uses, this was a significant event in itself. In addition, all County facilities were retrofitted to better protect the night sky.
Harmony is an environmentally intelligent community located in Central Florida and was chosen as the site for the Dark Sky Festival for several reasons:
Harmony Town Square, where the event is held, is in an area rated as Class 4 on the Bortle Scale of Light." There will be two special nights of festivities, February 28th and March 1st. The Festival starts at 5:00 P.M. and goes until 10:00 P.M. Get there for a good parking spot.
For more information you can email, firstname.lastname@example.com.
So until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.

Right off the bat, the Bayonets' just-released first album "Crash Boom Bang!," pulls no punches. The album kicks off with the dynamite title song with its retro music hooks and serves notice that the group is out to rock.
The band features Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray, drummer and songwriting partner and co-producer Oliver Leiber, son of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame songwriter Jerry Leiber of Leiber and Stoller fame and Lucrecia López Sanz of Argentina's Nube 9 on guitar and vocals. Ray has released two solo albums of his own in the past, "Mondo Magneto" and "This Way Up," which racheted up the sparks with each album.
"Crash Boom Bang!" brings the intensity that much higher. The title cut single from the album has gone Top 10 nationally and is currently listed at #9 on Media Base's Classic Rock chart.
Among the album's loudest and hardest rockin' tracks are "Smartphone," "Cotton Candy" and "Whatcha Got" where Leiber's drums are prominent and Ray's guitar and sassy vocals create a wall of sound. On the other hand, "Big Man Down" is a great slow gritty burner with a Western flavor.
The slow ballad "Vagabond Soul" features a special guest appearance by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. "We were really lucky to have Steven Tyler sing harmony with me and an amazing ripping blues harmonica solo," Ray said an interview. "He came into sing a harmony and ended up singing a whole wall of Steven Tyler." The song itself calls up reminders of the Rolling Stones with Tyler's Keith Richards-type vocals that also have a couple of Beatles touches for good measure.
Like the album's title says, "Crash Boom Bang!" is a turn-it-up and blast-your-neighbors type of album. Who knows where the Bayonets will take it from here? Wherever it is, it looks like it could be quite a fun ride.

Photos from the first weekend of the Barr Lake public fish salvage on Sunday, September 1, 2013, near Brighton, Colorado. The draught conditions on the eastern plains are causing farmers to call on the water stored in Barr Lake, which leaves good news for anglers with an appetite: As the water is drawn down to about a quarter of what's normally stored there, anglers can fish without limits with a license. The reservoir typically holds about 2,000 acre-feet of water and is about 34 feet deep. Parks and Wildlife began releasing water this week and will continue until the lake is at a "conservation level" of about 442 acre-feet, and about 10 to 12 feet deep.

With a surprisingly limited amount of buildup, Taylor Swift premiered her new song, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" during last night's web chat, telling fans that new album Red is just two months away (yay!) and that much of its inspiration comes from certain "semi-toxic" relationships she's had over the last two years. Looks like you're off the hook this time around, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and John Mayer. Allow yourselves a collective sigh of relief.
While Taylor's been most recently linked to 18-year-old Conor Kennedy, reportedly purchasing a home in Hyannis Port, Mass. just steps away from the famed family compound, there has been plenty of potential relationship fodder since the release of Speak Now in 2010. Below, we've compiled the most plausible—and most entertaining—inspirations for Taylor's lead single, an amalgam of individuals who may or may not call their exes repeatedly, and hold their taste for indie music above Taylor's tendency to pick up a banjo.
NAME: Jake Gyllenhaal, 31
EVIDENCE: Reports of their budding relationship surfaced in late 2010, after the pair were photographed going on super cute coffee dates around Brooklyn. Their public parade continued through the December holidays, making many a casual observer jealous of their coordinating winter accessories.
POSSIBILITY: With a decent age difference between them, we're inclined to believe that Jake would more than humor Taylor's occasional childlike persuasions, but wasn't above being condescending about some much, much cooler unknown band he heard about while on the Love and Other Drugs press tour with Annie Hathaway. ODDS: 3-1
NAME: Adam Young of Owl City, 26
EVIDENCE: Taylor Swift's song "Enchanted" was written, she said, about a mysterious dreamy loverboy she met in New York City after a series of emails in which the guy mentioned the word "wonderstruck." She put that word into the song as, you know, a Missed Connection or something; her liner notes, meanwhile, supposedly spelled out the name "ADAM" in the lyrics. Lambert presumably wasn't interested, and Levine would have had to cheat on Anne, but Young was available, the sort of guy who says "wonderstruck" and the sort of guy who'd release an answer song last Valentine's Day along with a gooey love note about Swift being "a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale."
POSSIBILITY: The chronology is perfect. And doesn't it just fit? Adam is totally the sort of guy who would call Taylor endlessly to have 23-minute conversations about her hypothetically taking him back. And he'd definitely take solace in indie records. ALL THE POSTAL SERVICE RECORDS. ODDS: 2-1
NAME:Sarah Jaxheimer, 22
EVIDENCE: Taylor went on and on about her former classmate's shiny hair and enviable look in an interview with Vogue last year, suggesting Jaxheimer's effortless cool was something that tormented her on a daily basis. As an adolescent, this is just the sort of thing you don't forget.
POSSIBILITY: Friends can break up too, right? While Jaxheimer insisted that there was no rivalry between her and Taylor during their high school days, you never really know how someone else feels until they sing about it. Only a person much stronger than either of us would be able to resist flaunting their own perfect curls and overflowing awards closet in the face of a former frenemy, and Tay is one of the normal ones, right? ODDS: 100-1
NAME: Mark Foster, 28
EVIDENCE: Taylor and the Foster the People lead singer were rumored to be dating in the spring of 2012, around the time word hit that he'd become the latest to sign up to work on her then-untitled fourth album. "We kind of just went into it casually, like let's just jam and just have fun, and something really cool came out of it," Foster told FUSE. In bed? (Too easy.) Decide for yourself whether that's in reference to a song or their relationship.
POSSIBILITY: While everything else is a somewhat vague description of a conflicted significant other who doesn't know what he or she wants, the nod to the indie scene within lyrics like "And you/ Would hide away and find your piece of mind/ With some/ Indie record that's so much cooler than mine" seems like a direct dig at Foster, whose band rode that wave to near mainstream ubiquity in 2011. ODDS: 20-1
NAME: Tim Tebow
EVIDENCE: Having been launched into sports and memetic legend by about 500 successive acts of divine intervention, the NFL quarterback had so many doors opened up to him, including the door that leads to meeting Swift. The two reportedly crossed paths at a pre-Oscar party, and later went to dinner at Toscanova in Century City, Calif., without their agents—who presumably were waiting outside.
POSSIBILITY: As much as we'd love to see people Tebowing during the "we-EEE!" bit—or to see Taylor do it in the video!—not likely. ODDS: 50-1
NAME: Ed Sheeran
EVIDENCE: The English singer-songwriter hasn't shied away from praising Taylor and her music; he's one of the few confirmed co-writers for her upcoming album, and can't help but gush about her greatness during his own interviews. "She is probably one of the nicest people that I've ever met in my professional career," Sheeran told us in June. "She's the sweetest and she's very talented." Taylor in turn has been supportive of Sheeran's U.S. debut, covering his single "Lego House" from the comforts of someone's kitchen floor, in what could have been a more-than-friends hangout.
POSSIBILITY: They've yet to receive attention from the tabloids, but there's a rich history of Twitter flirtation and public outings, which could be a sign of what's to come, or simply further example of Ed's unrequited love. Aww. If there's anyone we'd like to see her with, it's Sheeran. ODDS: 30-1
NAME: George Boedecker
EVIDENCE: Just days before "We Are Never Ever Breaking Up" premiered, the 51-year-old Crocs co-founder was being arrested for a DUI in Colorado, blaming his indiscretion on his "girlfriend," Taylor Swift.
POSSIBILITY: Taylor did quite the job keeping her new single a secret, so who knows what else she's been holding close to the vest. While she's dated older men before, her recent preference for those who have yet to graduate high school seems to kill any chance the rubber shoe king had at a believable story. Plus, he's the one who looks "batshit crazy," not Taylor. ODDS: 1,000,000-1.

Final Stats
NIU vs. CMU Results
MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - Northern Illinois put together its most complete meet of the 2013 season at Central Michigan Friday night, earning its season-high team total with a 194.025, but fell to the No. 21 ranked Chippewas at McGuirk Arena.
NIU's team score was 1.150 points higher than its previous season best, led by a stellar performance on uneven parallel bars where the Huskies started the meet by combining for a 48.700 team score on the event. NIU did not count a score lower than 9.700 on bars with Megan Melendez (Stafford, Va./North Stafford HS) and Lauren Africano (Bourbonnais, Ill./Bradley Bourbonnais Community HS) leading the way with 9.775 scores to tie for fourth place in the meet.
"We had a really, really good day," said NIU Head Coach Sam Morreale. "It was a great day for us on bars. We hit seven for seven [routines] on bars [including exhibition]. Lauren [Africano] did a great job starting us off and we were just steady. We stayed right in the 9.7 range the whole time so that was really encouraging."
The Huskies' 48.7 score on uneven parallel bars was .900 higher than its previous season best. Northern Illinois then moved to vault where freshman Jaelyn Olsen (Bethany, Okla./Putnam City West HS) performed her best vault of the year to earn a 9.825 and tie for first place. Olsen was part of a 48.475 total on the event.
On its third event of the night, floor exercise, Northern Illinois overcame a slow start to put up a team score of 48.550. Senior Natalie Sutter (Barberton, Ohio/Coventry HS) anchored NIU's line-up on floor with a season and career high 9.875 routine to win the event and record the top individual score of the meet. Marisa Liptak (Kendall Park, N.J./South Brunswick HS) added a 9.800 to tie for third on floor. Following the third event, the Huskies trailed the three-time MAC champions by just .175, 145.900-145.725.
"We were a little uncharacteristically bobblesome on floor," Morreale said. "We left a few things out there but our floor was solid again. On beam, we were a little unsure in the middle of the line-up, but felt really good about most of it."
Northern Illinois tallied a 48.300 on balance beam, led by Melendez' 9.775 mark. She tied for second place, while Amanda Stepp (Lapeer, Mich./Lapeer East HS) earned a 9.700 to tie for fourth.
"We really didn't count a miss all meet," Morreale said. "It's hard to be angry about our miscues when we destroyed our season high. This was definitely an indication of what we can do and we've got to keep plugging. We left a few things out there but we're getting to where we need to be."
NIU dropped to 3-2 with the loss and are 1-2 versus Mid-American Conference competition while Central Michigan improved to 7-4 overall, 2-1 in the MAC.

I agree with both!ReplyDelete
1) Il Gattopardo is a novel by Tommasi di Lampedusa, on which the film with the same title by Luchino Visconti (a gay film director) was based in 1960, starring Burt Labcaster among others.
2) Yes, it used to be better once!

as long as your horse is happy thats the main thing. im sure he doesnt mind only being ridden once a week as long as your managing to find time to spend with him. You could look for a helper to excercise him if you are concerned. x

I agree with gwinny.
A sharer is a good idea as it means your horse is getting good regular excerise and also a bit of money!!!!! If you can find some who you can trust and don't mind riding your horse once or twice a week, then it puts the pressure off you having to ride him all the time. It does also mean if you have some spare time with your horse you can ride him knowing that he won't be as fresh.
Hope you work something out!

I would soncider a sharer or part-loan. Are there any keen teenegaers you know who would love the chance to love and care for a horse without the financial burden on their parents? Horses don't have to be ridden in order to have a good life, as long as they have friends and an interesting daily life, they're generally fine. If he is happy and you are happy then I wouldn't worry - as long as he is fit enough to do what you want him to do and isn't getting bored then it sounds like a fine plan.
You never know, your lifestyle may calm down and allow you more time in the future. Sounds like he is a form of therapy for you, a great way to destress after your busy week.

HTC Snap / S522 QWERTY smartphone announced
HTC Snap is a brand new Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard smartphone that was announced today by HTC at CTIA Wireless 2009 (where else?).
The device measures only 12 millimeters in thickness and it looks like that HTC Maple leaked a while back.
Its feature-set is by no means impressive, but that's because HTC will probably launch it with a rather affordable price tag.
The strong points of HTC Snap seem to be its full QWERTY keyboard, the HSDPA connectivity, the 1,500 mAh battery and the new Inner Circle feature – which, according to HTC, "makes it easy for users to prioritize messages from the most important people in their lives at the press of a button."
Other specs and features include:
- QVGA display
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- 2MP camera
- 528MHz Qualcomm CPU
- 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM
The HTC Snap will be available starting the second quarter of the year.
Good news for North America: the smartphone will surely be released there as well, unlocked and called HTC S522.
