Our work in Niger is far from over. We continue to see food shortages and malnutrition that affect not only individual families and villages, but the entire country. That being said, keeping people alive remains our top priority, and our teams are dedicated to making this happen.
Thanks to you, we were able to do some incredible life-saving work in Niger:
As 2013 progresses, we will continue these successful efforts to eradicate malnutrition. Plus, because of your donation, we have been able to start a new program to address food security in Niger. We are now working in the regions of Maradi and Zinder – where malnutrition is highest for children under five, and particularly for children under age two. This program is especially important for women and girls, too. In our nutrition education classes, they learn how to diversify their food sources, and how to stay healthy during pregnancies. They also learn new ways to generate income, and diversify food production to feed their families.
Because of your contribution we are able to keep moving forward with our emergency relief and long-term programs in Niger. Your support has touched many lives and you have brought hope to one of the world's toughest places.
Please check out our website for more information.
In gratitude,
More than a year has passed since we began our work in northern Mali, a region continuing to grapple with severe drought, conflict, and political crisis. Because of your generosity, Mercy Corps has been able to remain in the country and provide those affected with vouchers for food and other basic provisions. These vouchers allow these women to buy the food they need most from the local market.
We have also been able to expand our operations in the country and help feed more than 18,000 people by providing vouchers for food and other provisions - covering up to 50% of a family's basic needs for one month.
Looking ahead, Mercy Corps is gearing up for the rainy season and the potential for cholera, which hit the region hard last year. The next round of vouchers given will include a portion designated to hygiene and water purification goods only. We are also training households on good hygiene practices and helping the women and youth who transport the water learn how to properly clean their equipment.
With your support, we have been able to provide hope to the families and communities devastated this past year. But Mercy Corps is also committed to long term solutions, and is implementing an innovative agricultural program for these communities. This will ensure that families gain resiliency and never have to worry about a food crisis again.
As we move forward in this year, I will continue to send you updates on both our food voucher program and our long term plans for the Sahel region. Thank you for your support that enables us to help these families.
With gratitude,
As we ring in the New Year, we spend time reviewing what has been done in 2012. Because of you, we at Mercy Corps were able to do some real life-changing work this year!
You are the reason we were able to provide emergency food in the Sahel region, vocational training in Afghanistan, and Hurricane Sandy relief in Haiti -- among our many other projects and programs around the world. Thank you.
We like to see the people you impacted, and I bet you do too. Over 17,000 photos were collected this year and we would like to share some of them with you!
Check out our slide show of the ten best images from 2012 and witness photos of:
And many others!
These images capture the resilient and strong-willed spirit of those we work with, but there is still so much to be done.
As you consider your end-of-year giving, I encourage you to donate to a Mercy Corps project through Global Giving. Choose this one or pick a different project to make a lifesaving difference for families in need:
With you, in 2013, we will continue to make it a brighter, healthier year for families in the world's most desperate places. With your support, we can make it happen - together!
In gratitude,
Carlene Deits
While crises were going on this year in the Sahel region, and continue even today, you have helped to save and change the lives for many men, women, children - and whole communities - in this part of the world.
Because of your compassion and generosity we were able to achieve so much in 2012. You made change possible!
The accomplishments shared below are a testament to the more than 70,000 donors (including you!) who've made this work possible. Because of you this is what we were able to do in Niger, Mali and the Sahel Region as well as other parts of the world:
To show our appreciation, we have put together a slideshow to share how much we were able to accomplish because of your contribution. Check out how you have changed and transformed lives!
And if you haven't received a free 2013 Mercy Corps calendar we still have some left! Just e-mail your address to email@example.com and we will happily send you one!
On behalf of the millions of people our work has touched this year, thank you!
In gratitude,
Carlene Deits
Thank you for your support. Because you have put your caring into action to Mercy Corps through GlobalGiving, we are able to make a positive impact on lives throughout the world. To show our appreciation, we'd like to give you a Mercy Corps calendar as a thank you and daily reminder of how you are changing lives!
Because of you, in the communities where we work in Niger, you can see the impact in thriving vegetable gardens, brimming wells, healthier livestock and smiling faces. We could not have had that positive impact without you!
To receive your free 2013 Mercy Corps wall calendar, please send an email to email@example.com with your mailing address! Your address will not be used for any other purpose than mailing you this calendar.
If you are a resident of the Portland, Oregon metro area, please keep in mind that Mercy Corps has several upcoming free events that we would love for you to attend. Tuesday evening on October 30th, we have team members share their stories from the field of how positive changes are being made. Please click here for details of this and other upcoming events and exhibits. If you'd like to attend or receive a monthly email of these events, let us know!
As the end of 2012 quickly approaches, thank you in advance for keeping Mercy Corps in mind as a donation option to change additional lives for the better.
Again, thank you!

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Limitless Horizons Entertainment sent us these exclusive screenshots of their upcoming MMORPG, Mourning.
My Jehovah's witness friend, Nate, spoke. "If you can write about anything then why don't you write about this - two guys going to a bar?" Nate has no problem being friends with me even though my rejection of the teachings of Jehovah makes me ineligible for eternal life and other valuable cash prizes. Anyway, my point is that if this drought of writing material continues don't be surprised if you see an update about two guys going to a bar.
"What are you doing down here in the basement?" C said.
"Surprise!" I said. "I spent the last three days painting this elaborate mural depicting the combine's glorious victory over the forces of earth."
"You did all this in just three days? Are you on speed?"
"No. Unless the green stuff seeping out of the cracks in the basement floor is speed because I've been eating a lot of that."
"Hey, you know how the other night we were accosted by those two muggers in the park and all of a sudden you flew ten feet into the air and as if on cue the full moon emerged from the clouds and cast a glowing blue nimbus on you as you produced a single black rose and blew on it, creating a maelstrom of razor-sharp petals that fended off the muggers? I was just wondering, were you ever planning on explaining that to me?"
"I think I might be a goth."
Goth is a beautiful song playing over the speakers at the mall food court. I'm fucked if I ever get into a car accident because my spiked dog collar will puncture the airbag.
I remember C and I's first kiss. We got awesome that night. For those of you who aren't familiar with the phrase, getting awesome is what would happen if you took the best thing ever and somehow made it better. An example would be flashing someone the sign of the devil as you ride past them on a motorcycle dressed like Axl Rose. And I don't mean the early pseudo-biker Axl Rose. I'm talking about 90s era Axl Rose with the kilt and everything.
Limitless Horizons Entertainment assured us these are actual in-game screens and not prerendered cinematics. Color us impressed!
"I can't believe you're satisfied with your entry level position as a combine soldier." C said. "You obviously have the intelligence and motivation to be a combine assassin."
"Well, combine assassins do make more money but it's also more hours and more responsibility." I said. "This job is just a temporary thing until my goth metal band, Silent Cemetarium, makes it big. I'm not a very good singer but I know how to play my strengths."
"Uh, being able to sound like Stevie Nicks vomiting into a metal coffee can isn't a strength."
Somewhere a lone vortigon was discovering he could produce a variety of notes by blowing into the hollow stalk of a plant native to xen.
C and I watched Demonic Toys. Watching a movie while jacked up on valkyr often yields startling insights into the filmmaker's vision. Suddenly I was there at the production meeting listening to the director say "What can we add to our movie to make it even edgier? Well, we've already got an evil jack-in-the-box so it must be a doll that uses the word "fuck"."
C and I went christmas shopping. If anyone reading this would like to help me with my christmas shopping I'm willing to pay $50 for a demonic Art Carney doll mint in box. It doesn't have to be the original box, just a box. Preferably one it can't escape from.
"You take the blue pill, the story ends." C said. "You wake up in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
"Oh sure, pop a pill. That's our generation's answer to everything, isn't it? We've got instant coffee, instant news, and now we've got commercials telling us we can have instant happiness through pharmaceuticals."
C and I surveyed the urban sprawl of Loudon road. I refused to believe this was the same land that the ancients once gave up their immortality to tread upon. It was another frigid New Hampshire winter. At absolute zero any piece of matter becomes a superconductor. Not that I minded the weather. I was a man-who-wished-he-was-a-woman for all seasons. Someday I would leave this place. Watch me fly above Concord like a shadow on the sky.
Is it a wine glass or an evil plant? The mystery surrounding this sprite adds a palpable tension to Mourning's gameplay.
"Well, you and your car both survived the accident." the tow truck driver said. "Although I can understand if you're a little shaken up."
"All the fear is gone." I said. "In its place is a sublime comfort that tantalizes the nightmaren who speak its name. Also, during those few seconds where I stared death straight in the eye I realized something: I want to have larvae."
C and I watched The Red Green Show. As a slight aside, here is a hilarious comedy sketch I've written that Red Green may use free of charge:
I'm telling you, men and women are so different. Now if a man had a vagina he'd find a more practical use for it. He'd get a bottle opener installed in it because you can never find a bottle opener when you need one, am I right?
"The scientists have it all wrong." C said. "It isn't an airborne virus that's reanimating the corpses. It's radioactive earthworms burrowing into their spinal cords. That's why headshots have been so ineffective. They have to aim for the spine. Oh, and I threw out that rotting tree branch in the closet that had all those Derek Walcott poems taped to it."
"My poetree."
Now I'm 50 years old. All the rock stars I idolized in my youth are dead, although part of me would like to believe that their brains live on in metal cylinders on their way to the home planet of a Lovecraftian crab people. The last time I saw C she was at Cafe Eclipse surrounded by government officials. I recognized the look in her eyes. It was the look of a S.T.A.R.S. member preparing for what they knew would be their final assignment.
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further
The Something Awful front page news tackles anything both off and on the Internet. Mostly "on" though, as we're all incredible nerds.

The present invention is directed to a cassette arrangement for cable sleeves or distributors, which arrangement is composed of a plurality of individual cassettes for the distribution and acceptance of light waveguides having an excess length thereof and also light waveguide splices.
German DE 44 39 853-A1 discloses a connecting, branching and distribution sleeve for light waveguide cables, wherein excess light waveguide lengths in the sleeve space are held by loop formation of the light waveguides in deflection pulleys or elements. The individual deflection pulleys are successively slipped on a pin and fixed. The excess length of the light waveguides is loosely guided in loops, and the splice holders are arranged within the loops of the waveguides. The removal of a light waveguide loop occurs by taking a splice holder out of the arrangement.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved accessibility and manipulation upon removal of light waveguide loops, whereby the guidance and deposit can be suitable for individual fibers, multi-fiber loose buffers or bundles and for light waveguide ribbons.
This object is inventively achieved with a cassette arrangement of the above type having spaced apart deflection elements, such as two deflection elements or pulleys, with at least partially circumferential channels being arranged on every cassette at a distance from one another and that the cassettes are mounted at one end in a bearing block for pivotable movement and that each cassette can be individually pivoted out of the cassette union or arrangement and can be fixed with a releasable lock in the pivoted-out condition. The cassettes include clamping arrangements at their introduction for the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons and the guide elements for the light waveguides or, respectively, the light waveguide ribbons are provided for motion compensation during the pivoting event.
Advantages with the cassette arrangement of the present invention are to be particularly seen wherein the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons are introduced on the pivotable cassettes and can be potentially deposited with the splices. The pivoting of the cassettes out of and the locking in working position considerably improves the accessibility for service jobs, since only the respectively required cassette is pivoted out of the cassette union or block and wherein the individual light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons initially remain in their ordered position. Given normal cap sleeves, two levels of cassette blocks can be arranged above one another on a splice carrier. Each of the cassette blocks can contain up to 30 cassettes with a maximum of 12 splice connections per cassette or a total of 360 light waveguide connections per cassette level. Splice cassettes that, for example, should not be accessible can be correspondingly locked and closed off so that they are secured against open access. Such a cassette arrangement can be utilized in universal sleeves or distributor housings that can be mounted in the ground or on a pole as well.
Due to the guidance by the deflection pulleys on the respective cassette, both individual light waveguides as well as light waveguide ribbons can be guided, since an intersection between the deflection pulleys or elements is no necessary due to corresponding diagonal guides. This also enables that the splices are placed obliquely in the splice holder, which is illustrated in the Figures.
In addition to the cassette arrangement, a free space in which uncut light waveguides or reserve leads can be accommodated is provided on the cassette carrier.
The introduction of the light waveguides or light waveguides ribbons exposed in the sleeve space from the multi-fiber loose buffers or bundles into the individual cassettes occurs after the intercept via a simple clamp mechanism, so that the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons are then introduced into the cassette into guide elements that allow a motion compensation of the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons during a pivot or swivel event of the cassette. The cassettes are expediently combined into cassette blocks and are seated in a bearing block on a shaft. When a cassette is swivelled or pivoted out of the cassette block into a horizontal attitude, a fixing or, respectively, locking occurs that, in turn, can be unlocked after the work has been completed.
The insertion of the light waveguides or, respectively, light waveguide ribbons into at least partially circumferential channels of each of the deflection pulleys or elements occurs in a simple way, wherein a securing against unintentional removal of the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons takes effect simultaneously with the insertion. The insertion and fixing is thus simple and time-saving.
For the splicing, the corresponding light waveguides or, respectively, light waveguide ribbons are then taken from the channels of the deflection pulleys and guided to the splicing apparatus. A removal of the cassette during splicing is thus not necessary. The return into the channels of the deflection pulleys and the depositing of the splice between the two deflection pulleys in the splice holder occurs after splicing. In the standard cassette technology, the entire cassette was removed from the carrier and deposited in the splicing apparatus, whereby certain difficulties, such as the removal of the cassette with respect to the additional length, were established for the delivery to the cassette. A considerably improved facilitation of the given service work is achieved by the technique of the present invention, whereby the surveyability of the overall system is preserved in every phase.
An arbitrary number of cassettes can be joined to one another, and correspondingly large lines can be compiled dependent on the size of the housing. The possibility of employment in large distribution systems is thereby also provided. In addition, each cassette can be mounted to face in the opposite direction in each of the bearing blocks so that access is also possible from the other side of the cassette.
Other advantages and features of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, the drawings and claims.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view with portions in elevation for purposes of illustration of a cassette arrangement of the present invention within a cap sleeve;
FIG. 2 is a side view of a cassette arrangement of the present invention with portions in cross section for purposes of illustration showing the principles of pivoting from a storing position to a working position;
FIG. 3 is an end view of a cassette arrangement with one cassette being pivoted from the storage position to a working position;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the arrangement of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a retainer for the light waveguides which retainer is received in the deflection element of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a side view of the retainer of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 is a plan view illustrating an arrangement of cassettes to extend radially from a central portion of the cap sleeve.
The principles of the present invention are particularly useful when incorporated in a cassette arrangement, generally indicated at 1 in FIG. 1, for example, which are arranged on a seal member 8 of a cap sleeve 7. To this end, a cassette carrier 3 is arranged on the seal member 8 in appropriate holders 9, which are preferably swivelable. Bearing blocks 19 in which the cassettes 2 are combined in cassette blocks 28 are arranged on this cassette carrier 3, wherein each individual cassette is rotatably mounted in the bearing blocks. Additional intercept devices 6a in which the light waveguide mutli-fiber loose bundles can be intercepted and held are expediently arranged in the cassette carrier 3. From here, the light waveguides or light waveguide ribbons are introduced into individual cassettes 2. Additional clamp elements 5 that, for example, can be employed for clamping lines to ground are provided on the cassette carrier 3. In addition, a receptacle container 4, for example in the form of a frame with a corresponding retainer for uncut light waveguide leads, light waveguide ribbons or light waveguide reserve leads, is located on the cassette carrier 3. Here, the cassettes 2 are arranged to extend parallel next to one another in the cassette blocks 28. It is also shown that the seal member 8 has introductions for the light waveguide cables which are provided with introduction connections 10 that are sealed in a traditional way, for example with appropriate shrink hoses or press-type seals.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the principle of the present invention is that each of the individual cassettes 2 can be swivelled or pivoted out of a vertically arranged storage position of the arrangement 1 into a horizontal servicing or working position. It becomes clear that the two deflection pulleys or members 11 are fully accessible while the cassette is in the swivelled-out or working position so that the light waveguides proceeding therebetween can be correspondingly processed. The pivoting or swivelling occurs around a shaft 12 that is arranged in the bearing block 19 of the cassette carrier 3. A double-arrow indicates the pivoting direction. The arrangement of the receptacle container 4 for the acceptance of uncut light waveguides, light waveguide ribbons or reserve leads also is clear in this end view. It is indicated in this embodiment that the intercept devices 6b can also be directly attached to the seal member 8 so that the introduced light waveguide cables or light waveguide multi-fiber loose bundles are already fixed here.
More details of the structure of each of the cassettes is illustrated in FIG. 3, wherein the excess length of the light waveguides 17 between the two deflection elements 11 are guided in the circumferential channels on the cassette so that corresponding retainers prevent the light waveguides or, respectively, light waveguide ribbons from jumping out of these channels. These retainers are inserted into the channels so that only their catch noses or pads 20 on the outside can be seen in this Figure and are received in openings in the sides of the members 11. The light waveguides are guided diagonally between the two deflection elements 11, whereby the splices are held in obliquely arranged channels of an interchangeable splice holder 13. The light waveguides 17 first introduced into the clamping mechanism 14 are subsequently introduced into a guide element 18 that is provided on the cassette 2, which guide element prevents the light waveguides or, respectively, light waveguide ribbons from jumping out in an uncontrolled fashion but, on the other hand, also allows a motion compensation during the pivoting event of the cassette 2.
These guide elements 18, for example, are of a U-shaped arrangement, whereby the opening is expediently provided with an elastic element or is fashioned as a spring lip so that unintentional disengagement is prevented. In addition, bent-in angle tabs 30 are arranged at the edges of the cassette as further retaining elements for the light waveguides. In the limited condition of the swivelled-out or pivoted-out cassette 2, the locking in this servicing position occurs by snapping a catch nose 15a provided in the bearing block 19 into a catch channel or recess 15b of the cassette 2. After the servicing work has been finished, this locking can be unlocked and the cassette can then be pivoted back into the upright storage position in the bearing block 19.
Each cassette 2 has an introduction channel 32 at the end at which it is placed onto the shaft 12 in the bearing block 19. This introduction channel 32 tapers conically inward and comprises a catch mechanism of reinforcement 31 on the end that takes effect when slipped on so that the cassette snaps in on the shaft and will no longer fall off by itself. The catch mechanism, however, can be manually overcome when the cassette must be completely removed for servicing work. It is also shown that the catch notches 15b are present on both sides of the cassette so that the catch mechanism with the catch nose 15a also will take effect when the cassette is inserted after being turned through 180�, as shown with the cassette 2.n in FIG. 4, which is the farthest to the right.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, a cassette block is composed of a plurality of cassettes 2.1 through 2.n. It can be seen therefrom that a respective elastic ring 25 is inserted into the circumferential channel 29 of each of the deflection members 11, and this elastic ring 25 comprises outwardly directed leg pairs (not visible in this view), whose ends have elevations or projections 21 of elastic material directed toward one another. In this way, it is possible that the light waveguides or, respectively, the light waveguide ribbons can be introduced into the channel by being pressed in, whereby the light waveguides, however, can no longer unintentionally be disengaged from the channel. Moreover, grip-like angle pieces, flanges or tabs 22 or 23 are attached to the cassettes and these tabs can be grasped for the pivoting of the cassette out from the left or, respectively, from the right. The second cassette 2.2 from the left is shown in the servicing or working position. In this case, it is indicated that the light waveguides or, respectively, light waveguide ribbons 17 from a multi-fiber loose bundle 24 proceed for introduction to the cassettes 2.1 through 2.n, whereby the individual light waveguides or waveguide ribbons are fixed in clamp mechanisms 14. In this case, two oppositely directed angle bends are provided and the particular light waveguide or light waveguide ribbon is threaded through these members. The two oppositely-directed angle bends 14 are dimensioned such in length that it is no longer possible for the introduced light waveguide or, respectively, light waveguide ribbon to jump out from the installed position.
The ring 25, as best illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, is fashioned as a retainer for the light waveguides that are drawn into the circumferential channels of each of the deflection elements. The ring 25 is composed of elastic material so that the introduction can occur without difficulty by pulling up over the channel edges. In this case, three outwardly-directed leg pairs 26--26 are provided and each of the legs has an elevation or projection 21 which faces toward the projection on the other end. These elevations or projections resiliently touch one another when the retainer is drawn into the channel and the projections elastically close the channel, as mentioned hereinabove. The leg pairs 26 are additionally provided with outwardly-directed pads or elevations 20 that, during the drawing-in into the channel, are engaged into corresponding apertures of the deflection element, as shown in FIG. 3. In this way, the elastic retainer is secured against falling out and against turning.
As best illustrated in FIG. 6, each of the leg pairs 26--26, on their free ends, comprise the projections 21 with the catch elevations 20 on the opposite side. When the ring 25 is pulled into the channel of the deflection pulley, the leg pairs 26--26 are pressed together and form the elastic closure of the opening with the oppositely-directed projections 21. When the ring 25 is pulled into the channel, the catch elements 20, as mentioned above, are anchored in the catch openings of the deflection members.
Instead of arranging the cassettes in blocks, as illustrated in FIGS. 1-4, the cassette arrangement can have a star-like arrangement, as illustrated in FIG. 7, wherein the central cassette carrier 27 is then expediently provided, and this can likewise be arranged in the seal member 8 of the cable sleeve. Moreover, all disclosed features of the invention can likewise be utilized here in this embodiment, wherein the individual cassettes extend radially outward from the member 27, either individually or in groups.
Although various minor modifications may be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that we wish to embody within the scope of the patent granted hereon all such modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of our contribution to the art.

BERLIN A Munich disc jockey held for five hours as a sex slave by a 47-year-old German woman said on Monday he would press charges of sexual coercion and deprivation of freedom against a woman he had met just a few hours earlier in a local pub.
The 43-year-old disc jockey named Dieter S. told Munich's T.Z. newspaper that he had to call police to rescue him from the woman's flat in Munich after she locked him inside, hid the key and forced him to have repeated sex with her.
"She was sex mad and there was no way out of the flat," Dieter said. He told the daily, which had also earlier published a police report about the incident, that he had consensual sex with the woman three times earlier that day on Easter Monday.
"I was having a beer at the pub after work and met this woman -- and we hit it off right away," Dieter said, referring to their meeting at a pub in Munich's Ludwigsvorstadt district. "She was quite attractive," he added.
But after the first consensual rounds, Dieter said he wanted to leave. He discovered she had locked the doors from the inside and hidden the key so he could not leave. He thought about trying to flee over the balcony but it was too high, he said.
"I realised I was trapped and had to keep going until she fell asleep," Dieter said. "So we had sex five more times."
As soon as the woman fell asleep, Dieter said he went out to the balcony and placed an emergency call to police on his cell phone. Police arrived 10 minutes later.
The woman unlocked the door to let the authorities in. She then promptly propositioned the officers, police said.
"She tried to persuade the police officers to join her in 'related activities' -- albeit unsuccessfully," Munich police wrote in a press release.
The woman was taken into custody and later released. She now faces charges of sexual coercion and deprivation of freedom.

Ballmer changes tune on iPhone, says no Zune phoneMicrosoft chief executive Steve Ballmer, who once laughed off the iPhone, has now conceded to Apple's edge in the market while hinting at a very different future for his company's Zune players.
Ballmer told the Financial Times (registration required) that the iPhone and BlackBerry have "clear market momentum" in the smartphone business.
Shortly after the iPhone was announced at Macworld 2007, Ballmer lambasted the Apple handset as the "most expensive phone in the world" while noting that Microsoft sells "millions and millions and millions of phones a year" while "Apple sells zero."
"I'd prefer to have our software in 60 percent or 70 percent or 80 percent of [mobile phones], than I would to have 2 percent or 3 percent, which is what Apple might get," he said. And just this past September, the Microsoft headman predicted that the iPhone's tight integration with all things Apple would cause it to "lose out" in the long run.
As for the Zune, Ballmer said this week that consumers "should not anticipate" a Zune phone. Instead of persisting as a Microsoft-built hardware product, the device's core could eventually be integrated into other Windows-powered mobile devices, he explained.
Ballmer reacts the to unveiling of iPhone in 2007.
Ballmer also said he believes the market for portable media players is in decline and will be replaced with general purpose devices like the iPhone and iPod touch.

Website of the day: Art Detective
If you're one of those people who says "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like," this site might not be for you, unless you just like looking at nice pictures.
It's a bit niche, we'll admit, but the people behind Art Detective need our help.
Across the UK there are countless works of art that are a bit of a mystery. Nobody knows who actually produced them.
Paintings change hands all the time. They get bequeathed to collections, sold at auctions, sit in attics for decades - any number of things can happen to get in the way of proving the provenance of a work of art. It's frustrating for the owners, the museums and the galleries, and that's why the Public Catalogue Foundation has embraced the digital age to try to crowdsource a few answers.
They're asking for anybody who knows a bit about art to take a look through this site to see if they can name the artists.
It's a great use of modern technology to clear up centuries-old mysteries.

Automated detection of lesions in retinal images can assist in early diagnosis and screening of a common disease: Diabetic Retinopathy. A robust and computationally efficient approach for the localization of the different features and lesions in a fundus retinal image is presented in this paper. Since many features have common intensity properties, geometric features and correlations are used to distinguish between them. We propose a new constraint for optic disk detection where we first detect the major blood vessels and use the intersection of these to find the approximate location of the optic disk. This is further localized using color properties. We also show that many of the features such as the blood vessels, exudates and microaneurysms and hemorrhages can be detected quite accurately using different morphological operations applied appropriately. Extensive evaluation of the algorithm on a database of 516 images with varied contrast, illumination and disease stages yields 97.1% success rate for optic disk localization, a sensitivity and specificity of 95.7%and 94.2%respectively for exudate detection and 95.1% and 90.5% for microaneurysm/hemorrhage detection. These compare very favorably with existing systems and promise real deployment of these systems.

Great cookbook for those interested in low-fat cooking.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eat More, Weigh Less: Dr. Dean Ornish's Life Choice Program for Losing Weight Safely While Eating Abundantly (Paperback)
This book has become something of a family tradition! My brother bought it for weight loss reasons, I use it becasue I follow a low-fat diet for health reasons and my father just bought it following heart bypass surgery. If you like cooking, don't want to sacrifice taste and want to eat low-fat food for any reason then this may be the book for you. Many of the recipies are complex but can be simplified with very little effort. The medical bits at the beginning are eye-opening too. Bon appetit!

To Behold
(Stony Plain)
US: 21 Jun 2011
UK: 21 Jun 2011
Monkeyjunk is a Canadian blues-rock trio built around Steve Marriner's vocals, guitars and harmonica, with more-than-capable contributions from Tony D on more guitars and vocals and Matt Sobb on percussion. Although it plows the familiar blues-rock groove of, say, The Black Keys, the band puts its own stamp on rocking tunes like "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)" and "You Don't Know", with its snaky guitar/harp line. The best tune on the album is easily "Let Her Down", a swampy, classically heartbroken blues lament that Marriner delivers with complete conviction. Not all the tunes are great, but the musicianship is solid throughout and there are enough standout cuts to make this album worth a listen for any fans of hard-charging, rootsy music.

I've talked shit about Lopez but it's usually to make fun of his retarded fanboys and for ducking Caballero. However dude has my backing 100% and is exciting to watch. He fights back and didn't quit like a bitch when the going go tough and fought like a true warrior. Even if it's a PPV I'll gladly pay for it in support of JuanMa.

Yeah, he's still fun to watch. He'll never beat Salido, but he still has enough to beat some other top guys.
His main problem is that he's in love with his power and forgets that his defense is absolutely terrible.

Juanma's chin is not good enough and even when he moves up in weight he will have problems against anyone with a decent punch but he is worth watching because of the exciting fights he's in.

Is he worth watching? Only an idiot would say no. That man is pure excitement. Will he ever be #1 in the division? It's debatable. If he corrects some things it's possible. It'll be interesting to see what weight he comes back at. If he comes back at 126lbs I'd absolutely love to see Donaire or Rigo move up and fight him. I may get hated on for this but after seeing how Rigo might have a chippable I'd actually take JuanMa over him. Actually in a lot of ways that would actually make a lot of sense for Top Rank to make that fight.

Govt not targetting individual accounts, websites: Sibal
New Delhi: The government today sought to downplay its action in the cyberworld in the wake of problems in the northeast, saying it is not targetting individual accounts and websites but wants to block objectionable content.
Minister of Communications and IT Kapil Sibal said the government is ready to hold discussions with stakeholders to find a "permanent solution" to the issue.
"The difficulty is that Twitter is a site, which operates from outside India and the server of all such sites are outside the jurisdiction of India... They have said that they are ready for talks with us. But the solution to this problem should be a permanent one," Sibal said in an official statement.
The government has received widespread criticism from netizens for allegedly trying to block individual accounts on microblogging website Twitter.
"That will only happen when we talk to all the stakeholders and form such a mechanism under which any objectionable content is removed," he added.
The Prime Minister`s Office (PMO) had complained that six accounts on microblogging site Twitter were carrying content with "communal overtones", which could be mistaken as the official account of the Prime Minister and should therefore be removed.
There were also reports that the government has asked Internet service providers to block select 16 Twitter accounts, including that of some journalists.
Twitter, on its part has replied that it has "removed the reported profile(s) from circulation due to violation of our Terms of Service regarding impersonation".
The government had ordered blocking of 310 webpages where morphed and inflammatory contents were uploaded allegedly with the aim to incite Muslims in India leading to the mass exodus of people of the northeastern region from places in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
Sibal said social networking site Facebook and Google are cooperating with the government and the names of objectionable sites provided to them were closed down.
Talking about Twitter, Sibal said, "We can take action but in that case, restrictions are also imposed on people who are right on their part. So, we don`t want that to happen. So, we have provided 28 URL numbers under which objectionable material is being shown.
Now, the government does not know that who is behind these URL numbers, only Twitter and other sites are aware about it."
He added that since the government doesn`t know the identities of these URLs (internet addresses), the accusations that it is "aggressively" targeting individual accounts or websites are incorrect.

Two well-known experts from the world of antiques go head to head over a week of challenges to find out who can make the most profit buying and selling collectables, all of which will be donated to a charity of their choice. Our dealers are in a different buying location each day: an auction house, a car boot sale, a foreign antiques market and a UK antiques fair. They then sell their purchases for as much profit as possible.
At the end of the week, the duelling experts compete to make the most profit in the ultimate dealers' showdown - a 48-hour buying and selling challenge. Once the deals are done, one expert will be crowned the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is overall weekly champion.
Charlie Ross and Catherine Southon head to the Ciney antiques market in Belgium to do battle in this no-holds barred dealing competition. But which dealer can translate those Belgian bargains into more brass back in Blighty?
