Despite temperatures in the mid- 50s Chicago beaches are now officially open. While no one will mistake Chicago for Miami Beach it does have some very nice beaches, 24 to be exact. Yes, Lake Michigan does freeze in the winter, but it heats up rather quickly in the summer. Water temperatures at the beaches regularly reach 80 degrees in August.
Most Chicago beaches are fairly quiet and somewhat secluded. A few are very lively. High on the list of party-scene beaches is North Avenue Beach. Throngs of teenagers and young adults hit the beach every time the sun comes out. On weekends there is barely enough room left to put down a beach towel. North Avenue Beach has the best amenities on the lakefront. There is a café and bar, small convenience store, snack shop, bathrooms and outdoor showers. There are a number of rental companies as well, including jet skis, paddle boards and bikes. North Avenue Beach has dozens of sand volleyball courts, although you do have to bring your own ball and net and some are reserved for clubs and groups.
Also downtown is Oak Street Beach which can be a bit of a madhouse on weekends. It is the view that makes this beach special. Set between the high-rises of N Michigan Avenue and the tranquil waters of Lake Michigan, it is a great place to people watch. Amenities here include a restaurant with seating and walk-up service as well as a bar. This beach also has bathroom facilities.
Those looking for a more family-friendly beach near Navy Pier can head to the end of Ohio Street to the aptly named Ohio Street Beach. You still get the great city views, calm water and wide beach space but without the mass of teenagers. There is a nice restaurant and bar set on the beach for those looking for the beach experience without all the sand.

Seattle Lawyer Snared in Parking Garage Sting
It sounds like a scandal Draco Malfoy might have been accused of at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: malicious mischief in the second degree.
But the culprit is no wizard. Attorney Ronald Clarke Mattson, 63, was charged recently with keying three cars in the garage of the Columbia Center, an office skyscraper in downtown Seattle, the Seattle Times reports.
In the first two instances on March 9 and 11, Mattson also left behind offensive notes denouncing the drivers' parking jobs, since the cars had been improperly parked over two parking spaces. The notes Mattson wrote – which were composed on Washington Athletic Club notepaper and left on the windshields of the cars – called the drivers "dweeb" and "idiot," according to the charging paperwork as cited in the Seattle Times.
Mattson was caught March 15 after Columbia Center security staff parked a "bait car" straddling multiple parking spots. The successful sting operation produced footage of Mattson driving by in his silver Porsche, backing up and keying the side of the bait car, which is when security staff called the police.
Although he originally denied causing the more than $6,000 in damage to the three vehicles, Mattson later confessed and, according to his attorney, has "expressed his great remorse and shame for what he did," the Times reports. Given that Mattson has formally apologized to the victims and paid for the damages incurred, regulars at the Columbia Center can now perhaps be hopeful that no more cars will be scratched.
But that's not to say they won't ever see the suit-and-tie clad lawyer cruising around the parking garage in his Porsche: he still works in the building for Wechsler Beckler, LLP, as a specialist in family law.
The Law Blog has reached out to Mattson for comment.

One of the new films in theatres right now is "Muppets Most Wanted," which is a follow-up to 2011's "The Muppets." This movie was the first in the popular franchise based on the landmark contributions of Jim Henson in many years. Those new to the "Muppet" community might well want to take in the 2011 version.
"The Muppets" begins with the familiar "separated at birth" plot point. Walter is a Muppet who has grown up with a loyal human, Gary (played by Jason Segel). Recognizing some commonalities, Walter grew up loving the "Muppets" television show. He gets a chance to visit the now abandoned studio with Gary and his patient girlfriend, Mary (played by Amy Adams). When they arrive, Walter overhears that Tex Richman (played by Chris Cooper) is planning to drill under the studio for oil. Gary, Mary and Walter realize that if the Muppets do another show, they may be able to save the studio. So they visit Kermit, and with him, they start bringing the Muppets back together. Again, this is a familiar storyline, perhaps best executed in "The Blues Brothers," but very well done here as well.
The cast of the film is strong. Jason Segel, Amy Adams, and Chris Cooper are all excellent in the human roles. The Muppets are also great characters, especially the always responsible and sincere Kermit, who has a complicated relationship with the vane but affectionate Miss Piggy.
Like the other "Muppets" films, this movie has a lot of catchy musical numbers. One particularly memorable number is "Man or Muppet," which won an Academy Award.
"The Muppets" will please those who know a lot about the franchise, as well as those who are new to it.

April 10, 2000
SEATTLE - University of Washington pitcher Jeff Carlsen, along with Arizona State's Jon Switzer, has been named the Pacific-10 Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week, the conference office announced today. Stanford third baseman John Gall won the Player of the Week award.
Last Friday, Carlsen, a right-hander from Poulsbo, Wash., out-dueled Arizona ace Ben Diggins, breaking Diggins' eight-game winning streak as the Huskies prevailed, 3-2. Carlsen threw a complete-game four-hitter, allowing two runs and only one walk while striking out seven.
With the victory, the 6-foot-7 ace improved to 5-1 on the season and 21-5 over his three- year career. He currently sits fifth on the UW career wins chart, six short of Mike Smith's UW record of 27.
The pitcher of the week honor was the second of his career.
Switzer shut out Oregon State last weekend, throwing a six-hit complete game and fanning 10. Gall went 12-for-18 (.667) with three homers and 11 RBI in four Stanford wins last week.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or on stackoverflow, so apologies if its in the wrong place.
I have about 7 php scripts running on a centOS VPS. Each of these scripts contacts a game server and processes the logs, with the logs it either does some database queries or sends info back to the game server.
I am having an issue where some of the scripts will randomly become REALLY slow to respond and I don't know where to start with my debugging. Each script connects to its own database schema but on the same MySQL server. Each script will do about 4 inserts per second and twice as many select statements on their respective databases. I thought a database lockup may cause the issue but some console messages that are read from the database are sent to the game servers console without issue every 30 seconds, even when the script is slow to responding to other commands.
Non of the scripts are using a lot of memory or CPU power. About 0.1% each.
I know this information is really vague but I don't know linux very well at all (in fact, top is about my limit) and I really don't know where to start debugging this.

The book that launched environmental history now updated. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos,Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.

Paperback Cover of "State of Fear"
In a radio speech last week, venezuelan president Hugo Chavez proclaimed that the Haiti earthquake was caused by a secret weapon developed by the US government. According to Mr. Chavez the weapon is a powerful seismic generator that can create destructive shockwaves in the form of directed temblors quake like to an specific target. He also added that such a tragedy was a plot engendered by the US to set permanent camp in the island. Without discussing the political implications or veracity of such a claim we can say that Mr. Chavez, which quite often surrounds himself in controversy, has unwillingly described a plot that has been somewhat previously explored by several Sci-Fi authors.
A noteworthy novel called "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton has its central plot in the usage of mother nature as a powerful weapon of mass destruction. In his work he explores the consequences of mankind using natural phenomena to instigate fear in the population. In the plot a group of bio terrorists wants to raise awareness to the environmental problems of our planet by creating a series of natural disasters artificially. What is most amazing by this novel is the fact that Michael Crichton also elaborates on his novel on a quite relevant topic: How much do we know about the destruction of the planet and how much several groups have an economical interest in making sure that everyone is fearing the final disaster. In a very responsible way, he tries to show us that there is a lot of myth surrounding our current problems with the environment. Crichton prompts the reader to look at the topic with a more skeptical attitude and make sure that we have all facts squared out before taking sides on the battle. For instance, what a lot of people do not know is that the "Global Warming" is an unproven theory. No scientist has been able to prove it with hard data or in a conclusive way. There are scientists, a few of them, that actually believe that the "Global Warming" is not even real or that it is part of the regular cycles of Earth's environment. In his book, Crichton also prompts us to check the sources and reveal that behind the whistle blowers in favor of mother nature there is a multi-billion dollar business that lives off of donations (like environmental protection organizations) and scientists (That depend on picking hot and popular topics in order to have grants guaranteed). Therefore some may have an interest in making sure that things look much grimmer than they are because this means success in collecting donations for their causes. The book is a pleasure to read and a real page turner. A must read in days like ours in which a lot of things are being said about our environment and where some of it is just lip service to ensure donations from us, concerned citizens. It is a good start (or even a must read) for any one seriously concerned with the future of our planet.
A second masterpiece is brought by Arthur C. Clarke and Mike McQuay (who sadly died before seeing his work published) who wrote a novel called "Richter 10" which tells the story of Lewis Crane who is, at the age of seven, severely traumatized, crippled and orphan after an earthquake hits the region where he lives.
Lewis, like a futuristic version of Moby Dick, nurtures a hatred for earthquakes that is quite short of being maniacal obsession. Like any man on a mission, Crane will not stop until he finds a way to eliminate temblors from the face of our planet. Using a mathematical model of our planet's geological evolution he develops a method to foretell where earthquakes will hit next. As the story moves forward the protagonist comes up with a plan to fuse the tectonic plates of the planet using nuclear devices and, therefore, stopping the mechanism that creates temblors altogether. What is most fascinating about the book is the carefully laid out plot in which different forces act in order to protect their own interests. The ability to predict earthquakes is seen by many as a powerful method of controlling and/or subduing political and economical foes. The authors are very good in describing the world of tomorrow and the picture they draw is compelling and, at the same time, scary.
In both novels, one message can be taken: Mankind's usage of technology may have placed us on a very difficult spot. Nonetheless, the same technology is the only weapon we have to fix the problems and ensure the long term survival of our species. This is true regardless if the threat is man made or if it is nature made such as the tragic events that we have all witnessed in Haiti. Our future depends on all of us by doing our part to protect the future of our planet and, together, the future of our species.

Venus de Miles Women's Bike Club
Submitted by David on
Tanja Wiant, Full Cycle
March 1, 2009
Venus de Miles Women's Bike Club Registration is Now Open
Boulder's only recreational bike club for women is quickly growing
BOULDER, COLO. - Women cyclists from throughout Boulder County are
welcoming a long-absent club from their mix - a club for beginner and
intermediate riders. Why is this unique, you ask? While Boulder is
known for its elite athletes, its amazing cycling, and its boundless
enthusiasm for outdoor sports, resources for recreational cyclists can
be hard to come by. The Venus de Miles Women's Bike Club, launched
this month by the locally-owned bike shop Full Cycle, is designed to
give beginner and intermediate women cyclists a place to develop their
cycling skills and have fun in a non-competitive, friendly group. The
Club opened its registration last week and is already seeing an
overwhelmingly positive response.
The Venus de Miles Club will bring women together to learn about
cycling and improve their fitness in a fun and supportive environment.
The Club offers weekly road rides, skills clinics, presentations on
nutrition and training, maintenance classes, social events like wine
and cheese nights, and theme rides like Sadie Hawkins, mountain bike,
and cruiser rides. Abilities of Club members range from women who have
never ridden on the road before to women who love to cycle but don't
want to ride with the more competitive women's clubs and teams in the
"A lot of women out there want to ride more because they know it's
fun, great exercise, but they don't know how to get started or who to
ride with," says Karli Gronholm, Club co-founder. "Riding on the road
can be scary, especially when you haven't mastered skills like looking
over your shoulder while maintaining a straight line. The Venus de
Miles Club aims to make women feel comfortable riding and excited
about the sport."
Interested women can register for the Club now, or they can
participate in a series of events leading up to the start of the
season before deciding whether or not to join. The Club Kick-off party
will be March 18th at Full Cycle's Pearl Street location, complete
with wine and food, drawings and contests, shopping discounts and
presentations. Any woman is welcome to attend the party to learn more
about the Club. Other events, such as free Spinning classes offered by
RallySport Health & Fitness Center, will lead up to the Club road
rides beginning in late March.
The Club is the brainchild of the organizers and participants of the
Venus de Miles Ride, which premiered last August as the first
women's-only bike ride in Colorado. Over 600 women participated in the
ride, and many expressed an interest in riding in such a fun and
non-competitive atmosphere year round. Karli Gronholm and Tanja Wiant,
two of the co-owners of Full Cycle, are leading the Club with the help
of volunteers from throughout the community.
Like the Venus de Miles Ride, the Club benefits Greenhouse Scholars, a
local non-profit that provides mentorship and scholarship support to
high-performing, under-resourced college-bound Colorado students. The
Club celebrates empowering both women and students to achieve their
goals, and will provide volunteer opportunities for its members to
give back to the community.

The Moxie Teenz girls are putting on the pink for Valentine's Day! These trendy fashion dolls have been pulling everything pink out of their closets in honor of Valentine's Day, and even Gavin has found a suitable red vest on eBay that he can wear.
Melrose, Arizona and Tristan have all found a bit of pink in their own wardrobes, but they have borrowed heavily to round things out: a pink Bratzillaz cape and shoes, a home-made pink skirt, a pink jacket and two pink-pattern skirts from the Ty Girlz, a home-made pink striped sweater, a skirt from Elf on the Shelf, and a shirt and jacket from Cody Simpson help round out the fashionably pink ensembles.
It is too bad MGA Entertainment decided to discontinue the Moxie Teenz line of dolls. Although they were a little pricier than other major toy store dolls, with their ball-jointed limbs, rooted eyelashes, inset glass eyes and interchangeable wigs, they were much less expensive than comparable 14", 16" or 19" dolls. In addition, they remain much more fun to sew for and to pose than most dolls. Have a look at the slideshow to see how cute they look.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day from the Moxie Teenz dolls!

Why Olark.com is better than their competitors
So I have been pretty quiet about it for the last couple of months, but I have a new venture coming out that I believe will hopefully make a few waves. In looking at ways to better my customer support, I happened across a sweet chat widget called Olark.
Basically the widget sits in the corner of your site (like most do) and allows anyone who visits your site to chat with you via a standard IM client (iChat, Adium, Gtalk, etc…). It will hopefully help keep current customers happy, and maybe convert a few people who would otherwise have clicked away.
At this point you may be asking "Well what makes them better?" and I could easily say that what makes them better is;
- Olark took less than 5 minutes to install
- Olark allows me to customize my chat widget to match the colors of my site
- Olark saves transcripts of my sessions for further review
- Olark encrypts my chat sessions
- Olark is very affordable
But I won't. Because that is not what makes them better. You see, what makes them better in my opinion is their awesome customer support.
It began with a follow-up question. Now to be clear, I had visited Olark.com, clicked in their very own Olark widget, running on their very own site, got no response, so I left. I figured that would be the end of it, but then a guy named Matt shoots me the following email.
Hi – I saw you just signed up for olark.com, let me know if there is anything I can do to help
Awesome! A dialogue has begun.
So our correspondence went on for several days. And it could have been awkward, it could have gone bad, but no, Olark's group have a very deft touch at helping out their customers. At one point I guess I was even speaking with one of the co-founders, and the exchange ended up going so well that he wrote.
Awesome, we definitely buy into the "smaller is better" mantra. Most of our customers are small businesses like us in fact 🙂 If you ever stop by the SF bay area drop us a line.
How sweet is that? I seem to have made some friends!
So to sum this up, you could use Olark for all the reasons I listed above. But the reason that you should use Olark is because they are actually human beings and treat you like a person and not a paycheck.

What materials did you use? These earrings feature beautiful glass lampwork beads. The the base is a cream colour with little metallic beads. The accent "bubbles" are a mix of an orange under tone blended with a raspberry colour with an iridescent shimmer of purple and blue depending on the light; really hard to fully capture in picture form. The lampwork beads are accompanied Thai silver beads that have an imprint of a flower. All metal components are sterling silver.
Love those beads, very lovely!

FREE (and bargain) books for the Kindle - July 2011
It's a new month and there are new freebies. Several bargains from last month remain, so be sure to check the previous thread, HERE.
This is the sticky thread for free and bargain books in the Kindle store for July 2011. Rather than try to update the first post with a list of all the books, which is continually changing, instead new books will be posted at the end of the thread and each month there will be a new thread, letting the old one drop off the top of the forum. Anyone can post to the thread, but there are a few rules:

Tuscan Holiday, by Holly Chamberlin
Book Description
In this smart, tender, insightful new novel, bestselling author Holly Chamberlin introduces two very different women who, over the course of two unforgettable weeks, learn about unbreakable bonds, unshakeable love, and the chances that come once in a lifetime -- and change us forever...When Elizabeth Caldwell planned a trip to Florence with her daughter, Marina, she secretly hoped for a warm, fuzzy bonding experience worthy of a Lifetime movie. But Marina -- twenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mom in many ways -- has always been more the PBS type: dependable, practical, and completely in control. Elizabeth knows Marina wants to avoid the kind of "stupid mistake" that left Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and she's bitten her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fiance who gives her everything she thinks she wants. After all, Elizabeth? -- unable to bring herself to fully commit to the man she has dated for years -- is hardly an expert in romance. Still, a lot can happen on vacation, especially in Tuscany, where every scent borne on the warm breeze inspires delight, and every view makes the heart soar. There, on streets once walked by Dante and Michaelangelo, Marina is blindsided by a gorgeous Italian named Luca who shows her how gloriously unpredictable passion can be, and Elizabeth finally lets go of the role that has defined her for so long to embrace her own uncertain future...

Bake Sale Murder, by Leslie Meier, is the thirteenth in her Lucy Stone series.
Book Description
Ever since local developer Fred Stanton and his wife, Mimi, built five modular homes next door to Lucy Stone's farmhouse, life just hasn't been the same. With Mimi complaining about everything from the state of Lucy's lawn to another neighbor's lovable dog, quaint Tinker's Cove, Maine, is now entangled in cul-de-sac politics and backstabbing. And when Mimi doesn't show up for her shift at The Hat and Mitten Fund bake sale, the scent of burnt sugar leads Lucy to a shocking discovery: Mimi, face down on her kitchen floor--with a knife in her back.
While the police start their investigation, Lucy gets busy writing up the murder for the local Pennysaver--and following a few leads of her own. Lucy knows the women in her neighborhood didn't like Mimi, but they certainly didn't want her dead...right?

Hunted By The Others, by Jess Haines
Book Description
They are the Others--the vampires, mages, and werewolves once thought to exist only in our imaginations. Now they're stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again. . .
In A Town Like This, Being A P.I. Can Be Murder
Shiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm--if it doesn't kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York's most powerful vampires.
As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend--a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing--and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil--whether she likes it or not. . .

The Romance of Tristan and Iseult, by Joseph Bedier, Vincent Nicolosi (Editor) and Hilaire Belloc (Translator), published by Fonthill Press, is free in the Kindle store (as is a scanned edition of this classic). Likely a pricing error or short-term promotion, as the hardcover edition is coming out in October.
Book Description
The most complete and beautiful version of Joseph Bedier's classic ever to appear in English includes Gaston Paris's original Preface, Bedier's historic essay "On the Nature of the Legend of Tristan and Iseult," and Vincent Nicolosi's Introduction, which sheds light on the tale's Celtic nature and origins. Joseph Bedier published Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut in 1900 in Paris. A few years later, Hilaire Belloc introduced the English-speaking world to this marvelous tale-or rather part of this tale. One shortcoming of Belloc's otherwise compelling and exquisite translation is that he omitted, suppressed, so very much-in fact, four chapters, either in their entirety or in part, along with a scattering of sections, phrases, and single words. Some of Belloc's omissions were inexplicable, though he obviously found certain passages too steamy and indelicate. Now, Fonthill Press makes available the most complete, exquisite, and definitive edition of Joseph Bedier's The Romance of Tristan and Iseult to ever appear in the English language.

Admittedly the 2011 Spin the Bottle Cabernet Sauvignon has me a bit conflicted. Unlike the Red Blend and Chardonnay which had several strong features that hid the lack of depth and layering of flavor this wine is a good example of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape without singular highlights to set it apart from the other budget Cab wine available in the area.
A light garnet color in the glass the nose is a nice blend of dark berry fruit set against an earthy dried tobacco aroma. The flavor is just as subtle and simple as the aroma, black cherry fruit with a sense of sugary sweetness and spice on the backend. The lingering essence of flavor makes for a pleasant finale, however, the very, very soft tannin while sure to make this wine more accessible to a lot of beginning wine drinkers, fails to provide the structure and framing to the fruit that can make a Cabernet Sauvignon a memorable meal pairing. Instead consider this a nice standalone choice for an evening in or an evening starter before a night out with friends. If you do choose the meal route avoid a lot of heavy and robust beef entrées, go with a less marbled cut of beef or even a pork loin with rustic vegetables on the side.
Like the Chardonnay and Red Blend you can find the 2011 Spin the Bottle Cabernet Sauvignon through Total Wine and More for under $10, not a bad deal for a very drinkable red wine. So what is my conflict? As an entry point or budget wine for a party with friends this would be a good choice, but I found little to set it apart from many other value priced Cabs crowding our local wine shelves.
So would I buy it, yes for a house wine when a glass or two seals the evening or for one of my wife's casual get together events and in the end that seems to be the winemaker's intent for a line called Spin the Bottle with a quirky animated label. Bottom line this is a sound, true to the varietal and accessible wine at a reasonable price, like the picture shows, this is a wine for casual times.

2013 game against Rutgers at Yankee Stadium imminent
PITTSBURGH — Miami AD Kirby Hocutt said tonight that a 2013 game against Rutgers at Yankee Stadium is imminent.
Myself and your favorite beat writers from the Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post ran into Hocutt at Lidia's, a nice Italian joint here in the Steel City. In case you were curious, Hocutt had the entree featuring three different pastas.
Anyhow, Hocutt was also there having dinner with a few folks, including a member of the New York Yankees administrative staff — John Mosley.
No real news here except that the opponent will be Rutgers.
Hocutt hinted it probably would be a Big East opponent a few weeks ago after visiting Yankee Stadium. He was in NYC for the unveiling of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms.
The 'Canes and Scarlet Knights last played each other in 2003 — a 34-10 UM win. The 'Canes have won all 11 matchups, the last 10 by at least 21 points.

Hammock naps and summer hikes may be hard to come by in Yellowstone in January, but don't rule out this national park as one of the best destinations in the West—even at ten degrees below freezing. Grab your mittens, furry boots and earmuffs, because a Yellowstone winter getaway is closer than you think.
Sure it may be sunny now, but you don't want to get stuck in hibernation in the dead of winter with no plan for activity. Ensure your winter getaway now to the nation's first national park, Yellowstone.
Xanterra Parks & Resorts is offering great deals on amazing winter packages that include unlimited ice skating, round-trip snow coach transportation, cross country skiing and use of the snowshoeing and snowmobile trails.
With the Mammoth resort, you can enjoy a luxurious stay at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel with a week filled with ice skating and snow exploration. But then again, if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you can invest in the Old Faithful package that includes lodging at Old Faithful Snow Lodge and unlimited ice skating and round-trip snow coach transportation around the park.
If you were to try to buy all these activities separately along with food and lodging, you would be spending 20 percent more on them than if you were to buy them in a package deal.
The deals go on sale at the beginning of 2013, so stick to your budget and start saving for an anti-hibernation winter trip at Yellowstone. Only a few hours' drive from Salt Lake City and you're smack dab in a winter wonderland of your very own.

IT runs on the cloud, and the cloud runs on Linux. Any questions?
A recent survey by the Uptime Institute of 1,000 IT executives found that 50 percent of senior enterprise IT executives expect the majority of IT workloads to reside off-premise in cloud or colocation sites in the future. Of those surveyed, 23 percent expect the shift to happen next year, and 70 percent expect that shift to occur within the next four years.

Android and iOS continue to fight for the US smartphone market and according to a recent NPD study, both companies saw an increase in marketshare for Q2 2011. Android takes 52% of the marketshare whilst Apple plays with its 29%. webOS, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile all stuck with 5% shares with no yearly change which left BlackBerry OS to have an 11% decline. Google's new toy, Motorola, saw a 3% year-on-year decline, with [surprisingly] the biggest loss coming from Android-based unit sales.
This was a 50% drop to 22% of the market. Interesting, isn't it? Maybe Google can swing things around for Motorola now that they own them. Only time will tell.

On Aug. 2-3, Park City Standup Paddleboarding (PC SUP) is hosting a two-day paddle festival (the PCSUP Cup) at Jordanelle State Park at Hailstone.
"There's going to be music. There's going to be food. Fun in the sun," said PC SUP owner Trent Hickman. "It's a community event. The proceeds from the event go to benefit the Ed(ucation) Fountain, the recycle center and the Park City Community Foundation."
Hickman said the races will be divided into a number of different categories according to the age and experience of the contestants and the type of paddleboards they own.
"I'd like to emphasize that, even if you've never done a paddleboard race before, don't be afraid, don't be intimidated. The races are fun. It's the same idea as running a 5K. You don't run a 5K only because you're the fastest person in the world. You go out and participate and be a part of the event."
And if you're worried about taking a spill, the state park's website reports that the water temperature has now reached 75 degrees.
Among the unique events at the PCSUP Cup are a coed tandem race and a surf contest. "As far as I know it's the world's first SUP wake surf contest," he said. "That's happening on Aug. 3."
"We will also be having a doggie paddle parade, which will be a strut your mutt event," says the event's website,

On this page are several organizational information sample sections.
College of Saint Benedict Organizational Information
CSB and its coordinate partner, SJU, were founded in the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. During the 2008-2009 academic year, CSB enrolls 2,068 undergraduate women; SJU enrolls 1,897 undergraduate men. CSB and SJU are private, residential, liberal arts institutions in the Catholic and Benedictine traditions, sharing a joint faculty and curriculum but maintaining separate governance and residential campuses. The liberal arts curriculum, as the center for disciplined inquiry and a rich preparation for the professions, public life and service to others, is guided by the Benedictine principles of the two sponsoring monastic communities.
The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and its partner in education, Saint John's University (SJU), were founded in the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th. In the 2008-2009 academic year, CSB enrolls 2,068 women; SJU enrolls 1,897 undergraduate men. CSB and SJU are private, residential, liberal arts institutions in the Benedictine tradition, sharing a joint faculty and curriculum but maintaining separate residential campuses. CSB was the first women's college west of the Mississippi and the 13th in the country. Each institution is governed separately by a Board of Regents (SJU) and a Board of Trustees (CSB). The College of Saint Benedict is located approximately 70 miles west and north of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
In 1913, Saint Benedict's Monastery opened the College of Saint Benedict, the first women's college west of the Mississippi River and 13th in the country. Saint Benedict's Monastery established the college during a period of debate among Catholic hierarchy concerning the appropriate role and place of women in society and the vocational call of women. Like other women's religious orders who also established postsecondary institutions during that time, the Benedictine sisters fervently believed that there was a great need for new and expanded educational opportunities for women, both for professional purposes and for personal vocational development.
The College of Saint Benedict retains its governance, campus, and identity as a single-sex institution while sharing a joint faculty and curriculum with nearby Saint John's University (SJU)-a men's university. The coordinate relationship between CSB and SJU has increased educational opportunities for the students of both institutions-by providing coeducational and gender-specific learning opportunities-and has ensured the long-term viability and vitality of each.
The College of Saint Benedict is governed by a 38-member board of trustees, employs a staff of 430, and enrolls approximately 2,000 women. Our combined CSB and SJU faculties include approximately 350 professors, among them Benedictine and lay professors with diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. In addition, our students, faculty, and staff have opportunities for significant learning and relationship building with the sisters and monks of Saint Benedict's Monastery and Saint John's Abbey.
Saint John's University Organizational Information
Located in Collegeville, Minnesota, about 70 miles northwest of the Twin Cities, Saint John's University was founded as a college for men by Benedictine monks in 1857. It is situated on a 2,450-acre campus of lakes, pine and hardwood forest, oak savannah, and prairie on the grounds of Saint John's Abbey. Saint John's is one of four remaining all-male colleges in the United States.
The University's college of arts and sciences operates in a coordinate relationship with the College of Saint Benedict, which is an undergraduate women's college founded by Benedictine sisters in 1913. It is located six miles to the east of Saint John's and is one of 75 women's colleges in the United States. Together, the two schools enroll approximately 4,000 undergraduate students and the School of Theology and Seminary (SOT), 150 graduate students. They are two of the three most highly ranked Catholic liberal arts colleges in the nation.
The undergraduate program of the University's college of arts and sciences is Saint John's largest division. It is one of four divisions operating within the monastic corporation of the Order of Saint Benedict. The president of the corporation is abbot of Saint John's Abbey and University chancellor. The other corporate divisions are Saint John's Abbey, a monastery of 190 men who live in community according to the Rule of Saint Benedict; Saint John's Preparatory School, a day and residential college preparatory program for grades 7-12; and The Liturgical Press, a publisher of pastoral and academic resources focusing on liturgy, theology, scripture and religious life. The University also includes a graduate school of theology offering master's degrees in theology and ministry.
Saint John's University and the College of Saint Benedict are classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as Baccalaureate (Liberal Arts) I. Though they offer a common educational program, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools separately accredit each.
Saint John's has been a laboratory for creativity and innovation, having spawned numerous prominent educational, cultural and religious institutions and projects, including the Institute for Ecumenical and Cultural Research, the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library, a radio network that evolved into Minnesota Public Radio, the Jay Phillips Chair in Jewish Studies, the Saint John's Pottery, the Saint John's Arboretum, The Saint John's Boys' Choir and most recently, The Saint John's Bible.
Saint John's University was founded by Benedictine Bavarian Monks who came to Central Minnesota in 1856 to minister to the German Catholic population of the area. It is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the Midwest. The mission of the University is to renew the fabric of community from one generation to the next, ever striving for excellence, ever grounded in Benedictine tradition. SJU enrolls around 1,900 men from 40 states and 37 foreign countries. Saint John's and its partner in higher education, the College of Saint Benedict (which enrolls around 2,000 women), have a common curriculum, identical degree requirements and a single academic calendar.

2006 Paraduxx Napa Valley Red Wine
92 Points
Robert Whitley, Wine Review Online
This has always been a most interesting Napa Valley red blend -- primarily zinfandel and cabernet sauvignon, with small amounts of merlot and cabernet franc -- and one that the Duckhorn folks literally built a winery around. The '06 is luscious and ripe, yet well balanced, exhibiting aromas of blackberry, damson plum, raspberry, mocha and spice. I love this wine with roasted pork loin or grilled lamb chops.
94 points, two puffs
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
This deep, impressively extracted version of this perennial CGCW favorite marries well-defined blackberry fruit with a layer of ripe currants, a good dose of sweet oak and touches of milk chocolate. Its sense of layered richness and its accents of sweet earth speak to classic Napa Valley character, and, thanks to its provenance, its unique mix of grapes and the attention that the Duckhorn folks pay to it, it continues to be a more sophisticated wine than Zinfandel typically yields.

May walked along the streets of the city in the Lucky Star realm with Konata at her side. Right now they were headed to the cosplay cafe where they both worked. May smiled and spoke, "So, Konata, what do you suppose the theme is today?"
Konata smiled deviously, "Hehehe, well I specifically requested one that you might like. One of your favorite animes to be exact..."
"Hetalia?" May asked curiously. Her mind then shifted to a daydream of her cosplaying as the female version of Japan. That'd mean she'd be able to act with his personality... His amazing... Adorable... Hot... Personality...
Konata poked May on the forehead, "May, are you in there? The theme isn't Hetalia, it's Tokyo Mew Mew, and you know what that means?"
May tilted her head confused, "I don't know, what does it mean?"
Konata fist pumped in the air, "It means bunny ears and nekomimi galore! I can't wait to get my hands on some to try on Miyuki!"
May facepalmed, "The choice wasn't for me was it..."
* * *
They reached the cafe and went to get ready. Once done, May stepped out of the dressing room in her usual pink meido outfit, but this time with an added ribbon (in which she decided she'd keep on there) and a pair of fake bunny ears. She looked over at Konata who'd went for a cross between Mint and Zakuro. She had the blue meido outfit, but wolf ears instead of bird wings. It honestly fit her well for sure, totally considering the color.
May was take by surprise when Konata put a pair of glasses on May, "There! Now we've boosted you're moe factor to over 9,000!"
May became confused as of why she'd decided to boost her moe factor. Hadn't she known May wasn't looking for attention from anyone else but Kiku? May sighed, "Konata, why did you put these on me... I told you I don't want anymore attention-..." May was cut short with the flash of a light from a camera causing splotches of colors to appear in her vision.
Konata looked at the screen of the camera and smirked, "Hehe, success! I'll surely win that 'make someone you know look even moe then they already are' contest for sure!"
May became infuriated, "C-contest?! Why didn't you tell me! And why of all people would you even want to enter me? What about Miyuki!"
Konata smiled with a cat like smile, "Well, you're the easiest to fool. You're completely oblivious half the time!"
May looked down to the ground disappointed, "Yeah... I guess you're right..."
Konata smiled, "Haha, I knew it! Now let's just get out there and serve some customers!"
May was still sulking, but she walked out the door anyway.
* * *
May pulled open the door and walked in, "Kiku, I'm home."
"Oh, May, welcome back. How was your day?" Kiku asked in a cheerful tone.
May suddenly went to sulk in a corner, "I-I don't wanna talk about it..."
"It was that bad huh?" Kiku replied.
Author's Note: Never ask May about her day when Konata does something stupid to her.

San Diego didn't worry about linebacker Manti Te'o's shortcomings or the weird controversy that became what he is best known for.
The Chargers traded up to the 38th overall pick. And then they made one of the most intriguing picks of the draft, taking the Notre Dame linebacker.
When former Chargers safety and longtime television announcer Jim Hill announced the pick, Radio City Music Hall got loud with a mix of disbelieving yells and what seemed to be boos.
[Related: Chargers give Manti Te'o chance at a fresh start]
With the pick, the Chargers are banking on Te'o's college production carrying over to the pros.
Te'o won seven national awards and was second in the Heisman Trophy race last year. No defensive player has ever taken home that kind of hardware in one college football season. But when the new year started, the story of Te'o took a crazy turn.
First, he was manhandled by Alabama in the BCS Championship Game. He looked slow and unable to disengage from the Tide's enormous blockers. That allowed analysts to really study his tape and pick apart some clear weaknesses. Then came the bombshell that Te'o will always be known for, a Deadspin story that revealed the girlfriend Te'o said died during the season never existed. That set off jokes that continued through Te'o being drafted. A poor combine with a slow 40-yard dash time didn't help matters.
The Chargers don't care about any of that. They're hoping that the locker room accepts Te'o, who was well known for his leadership and production on a Notre Dame team that went 12-0 in the regular season last season, and they get the same guy who was a tackling machine in college for the Irish.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper is high on Te'o, and he made the inevitable comparison to longtime Chargers linebacker Junior Seau.
"Manti Te'o can have that similar impact, I believe," Kiper said on the broadcast.
Te'o has a lot to live up to. But after what he's been through the past few months, getting a new start on a team that coveted him might not be the worst thing.

here is a good math movie. what is your favorite software to make math movies? I used Mathematica, GeoGebra, Sketchpad. But they are not perfect. Also, could you recommend some interesting math movies?

There is no "perfect" software for making math visualization videos. The better movies of this kind were likely made using standard 3D animation software such as Cinema4D, Maya, 3d studio, XSI and such. You'll probably have to export data from a math application such as Mathematica into these suites and do the renderings in there. It's possible to render with just POV-Ray but working with a 3D suite can get you much better results.

Galleria Dante Features Four Mexican Artists
Published Jan 23, 2013, 12:05pm -
In its next exhibition, opening reception to take place on January 25 with cocktails 6 - 10 pm, Galleria Dante and it's sibling, AnDante, will showcase four Mexican artists: Guillermo Brockmann, Alvaro Zardoni, Israel Zzepda and Edgar Martínez. Guillermo Brockmann, better known as Pipo, was born in Mexico City and raised in Guadalajara. He is the son of a Mexican architect and an American painter. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of design and his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Alvaro Zardoni, born in Mexico City's "Colonia Roma" neighborhood, studied painting and drawing at Irene Lindroth's studio from 1975 to 1988. He started to work in sculpture in an independent way, experimenting with various materials until he settled on bronze. His sculpture, mostly figurative, is usually accompanied by different found objects that reinforce the original idea of each piece.
Israel ZZepda who was born in 1971 just celebrated his 26th Anniversary as a professional artist. He has been painting and drawing for more than 35 years, but also sculpts in paper mache, bronze & cast aluminum. Edgar Martinez born in Toluca, Mexico came to Vallarta at the age of 6. He studied art for 5 years in Guadalajara. He feels inspired and influenced by the great masters, but has worked diligently to create his own style, compositions and perspective through his study of their masterpieces.
The exhibition takes place alongside Basilio Badillo's Southside Shuffle, an excellent opportunity to acquaint yourself with the popular's street many offerings, including art galleries, jewelries, restaurants and much more.
