For those of you who have ever been frustrated with the fact you can't download apps through BlackBerry App World without a data connection, the next update -- App World 3.1, is said to correct that. Being tested internally at the moment, BlackBerry App World 3.1 is also said to include 'gifting' of apps where you can purchase apps for others and also, what is referred to as 'begging' where you can request that another user pay for any application within BlackBerry App World. No time frame for release has been noted but it shouldn't be all that long before it shows up in the BlackBerry Beta Zone. Seems like it has been a long time coming but those features will be greatly appreciated once they arrive.
BlackBerry App World 3.1 coming soon -- Includes WiFi support and 'gifting' of apps

BlackBerry App World 3.1 coming soon -- Includes WiFi support and 'gifting' of apps
"Includes WiFi support" This exists already today....my daughter downloads apps all the time using wifi without using a data plan???
Begging? I can't see ANY problems with asking someone else to pay for an app on your phone HAHAHAHAHA!!
I wonder why you can't get Appworld gift cards like you can with iTunes. That would make my wife's Christmas/Brithday shopping so much easier. I guess this is as close as we'll ever get.
Wow. This guys are busy!
They are rolling out BB Traffic with voice navigation.
They just rolled out BBM Music
They are launching stores all over the place.
They have purchased JayCut, newBay, and signing deals for content. BB Movies, Newspapers, etc.
They are giving us 100 bucks in free apps.
They have rolled out a ton of tools for developers with TAT assistance
The new OS7 devices are just awesome.
I think it is a good time to be a BlackBerry owner. These guys are working for our business.
It really bothers me, today some local news anchors on the radio were talking about how if RIM wanted to survive, they'd need to "sell out and split into different companies", and whenever they talk about RIM all that they can do is hate. When BBX phones are announced, even though they will have modern specs, they'll criticise them anyways just because they're not iCrap.
I remember when the Torch 9850 was announced they criticised it because it lacked the famous physical QWERTY that Blackberrys are famous for, and then they criticized the Bold 9900 for having a small screen when they could've got rid of the keyboard and made it all touch. Oh well, haters gonna hate, and we can just hope that the media's had enough RIM bashing for now. Go shoot something like webOS that's already dead, don't criticise RIM as they're doing well and have great devices.
yeah they're busy.. totally busy, but THANK GOD for this update! i'm looking forward to seeing the new Appworld here. it should have to work on wifi, Thank God RIM will bring it back, now, don't put it on beta testing for too long.
also.. yeah, release the OS 7.1!! can't wait for using the wifi tethering for my playbook rather than using the bluetooth (apart from the bridge browser..)
How about gifting us with a UI thats easier on the eyes and doesn't look like a 5th grader drew it
You have been busy, RIM. I will give you that.
How about "regifting" of apps.
This should be interesting.
Add me 3247B828
I have longed for this idea. This would be a great addition for App World; easier for kids, teens who have a BB Phone and/or a Playbook but don't have a credit card.
Also could make it easy as an impulse buy item at the tills of stores in the same way that PS3, Xbox, Itunes has their cards on display at the check out counters of most electronics stores.
Also increases their name being out there whereby you see BB App World cards everywhere you realize that they actually have a store.
I have no idea why this hasn't been done before but in this day and age, it would be heaven sent and can only bring nothing but benefits to BB.
What about unsupported countries and no BIS? ?_?
I must agree, RIM has been busy! When they released BlackBerry Traffic I thought it was ok but wondered how they thought they were going to compete with Android/Google without turn-by-turn spoken navigation. Well, now we have it (beta)! It seems to work great. Between that and my free Vlingo reading texts etc. my trusty 9800 has a new lease on life and I no longer feel compelled to upgrade it.
Great to see some progress from RIM and love the gifting idea but what about coupons - DEVELOERS need coupons for contests and giveaways, etc... Uuuggghhh!!!!
I was a die-hard blackberry fan but not being able to access the App World through wifi is just insane. I mean why do RIM even want to do that in the first place? The App World is already quite limited and by limiting the App World only through BIS/BES is just out of the world. I'm glad RIM is fixing that now, but it's a little too late (for me) as I've already jumped ship to my Samsung Galaxy S II. I do wish RIM all the best in the future of the upcoming BBX phones and really hope they can sustain the hype for QNX platform. Just my thoughts..
Ok, so this means its possible to access app world, even tho i dont have a service plan to support it?
There is only one provider in Norway that got the service plan for blackberry, unfortunately that provider sucks.
I was able to access and download apps on my 9300 before the last update, after that, no joy.
And now, with my 9900 i cant access it, because im not on the service plan. So if this update means i can finally download some apps again, im stoked.
And, is this a server side update? Or do we, the end users update something aswell ?
now, in the best interest of RIM's future, completely allow people to use all other apps on wifi only, wihtout any BIS, and also pressure skype to make an app that works on wifi only wihout any sim card in the phone and there might be hope that I wouldn't leave when I get around to buying a android or iphone (i need skype, I hate data plans when I have wifi everywhere)

Sometime Sweet Susan (1975)
** (out of 4)
Even if you're not a fan of hardcore films you might remember this title as it was on the marquee of the theater where Travis took his date to in TAXI DRIVER. This was originally an XXX title but the version released on the "Skin in the 70s" collection is an R-rated cut that runs (according to the IMDb) about nine-minutes shorter than the hardcore version. With that said, what remains here would still easily get a NC-17 rating. The film has Harry Reems (DEEP THROAT) playing a doctor trying to break through to a patient named Susan (Shawn Harris) who at first won't talk but deep down is having sexual fantasies about him, her nurse and another flashback that is haunting her. It's really hard to review this film because this was meant to be a porno, no matter what else they tried to edit it into. This R-rated cut really doesn't work for several reasons including the fact that there are a few cases where the "action" goes to a freeze frame while the songs just keep on playing. This is really distracting but it also doesn't help that the film, in this form, is full of bad edits. This R-rated version just doesn't work as any sort of entertainment but I do want to see it uncut as its reputation is pretty strong. I was a little surprised to see how much story was actually here and many of the performances were better than you'd expect. Reems isn't too bad in his role even though I still didn't believe him as a doctor. The real reason to see the film is for Harris and I was shocked to see that this was her only movie credit. The movie probably wouldn't have ran so long if it weren't for all the slow motion scenes throughout and these did start to get annoying after a while. We also have a few songs written just for this movie and I'm not sure how many adult films could say this. So, in the end, this film really isn't all that bad but it's still rather hard to judge a cut version.
Sometimes Sweet Susan XXX version
*** (out of 4)
I had watched the R-rated version of this earlier in the year and I could tell that I was watching a decent movie yet it was nearly impossible to judge since it was missing all the hardcore scenes. I went back and viewed this hardcore version and it certainly improved the film so there's no doubt as to which version someone should watch. The story is pretty simple as a doctor (Harry Reems) tries to reach patient Susan (Shawn Harris) who refuses to talk about anything, although she is secretly having a sexual crush for the doc. This hardcore version, as I said, is certainly the version to watch for a couple reasons. The film is more drama than porno so I think a lot of people will watch this and be shocked at how few hardcore scenes there are. We get around four different scenes but none of them are overly graphic and I'm sure the "bump and grind" crowd might be disappointed. The film really does focus in on the drama of Susan and her reasons for keeping quiet and to herself. This hardcore version features the "real" reason as to why she's so quiet as most of this sequence towards the end of the film was cut out of the R-rated version. This here is the main reason to check the film out uncut. Another reason is that the hardcore scenes are quite erotic and certainly a lot better than the stuff we saw in more mainstream films like DEEP THROAT and DEVIL IN MISS JONES. Another problem with the R-rated cut is that a lot of footage was slowed down or just paused on so that they could edit out the hardcore sequences. The freezing effect really hurt the flow of the picture but thankfully all of that is gone here. On this second viewing I was even more impressed with Shawn Harris who certainly had a true acting talent and could do more than just the sex scenes. It's a shame this here was apparently her only movie.

I have been trying to install a plugin for wordpress and I've had one problem after the other:
I have tried to visit the /wp-admin/plugins.php page, but I get the message "cheatin' uh". Upon Googling, it seems other people have had this message:
However, they cite the occurrence of this message upon upgrading to a new theme and attempting to upload an image - NOT attempting to access the plugins page. I am definately an administrator of the site and it's definately wordpress.org NOT wordpress.com
The reason I'm attempting to go through the plugins.php page is becqause I have the case of the missing "plugins" button from the admin bar.
According to the linked thread, the generic troubleshooting steps are:
1. - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the
I can't do that since I can't access the plugins page
2. - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
I am currently using Custom Community theme, version 1.8.2.
3. - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin.
Again, I can't access the plugins.
Any suggestions? I have FTP access but no access to Hostgator. I would appreciate any help even just in understanding why I get this message, how to make the message screw off, or how to make my "plugins" button appear.

they have Bri'onte Dunn as #4 under RB????
My bet is that JT had Syndesmotic screws removed during his 2nd surgery, these screws are placed from to the fibula to the Tibia to help the syndesmotic ligament heal. problem is these screws must be removed prior to allowing him to walk. usually 10-12 weeks. once screws are removed then walking can begin. Problem being if you walk with syndesmotic screws, then you run the high risk of the screws breaking.

I was on a previous birth control that has been discountinued. My doctor reccommended this pill in place of the other. I had a light period for 19 days, experienced sever moodiness and felt very emotional after a week of these pills. I also had weight gain which never was a problem before. I will be switching birth control pills!

I have migraine headaches and this medication worked really well for me, since I was getting the same dose of medicine everyday. I especially liked being able to cycle 9-12 weeks apart instead of every 28 days, similar to the seasonal brand where you "skip" periods, one every 3 months. I could plan around vacations and holidays, which is great!

Previous work indicates that stress levels of circulating glucocorticoids can impair retrieval of declarative memory in human subjects. Several studies have reported that declarative memory retrieval relies on the medial temporal lobe. The present study used \mathrm{H}^{15}_{2}O-positron emission tomography to investigate whether acutely elevated glucocorticoid levels affect regional cerebral blood flow in the medial temporal lobe, as well as in other brain regions, during declarative memory retrieval in healthy male human subjects. When measured over four different declarative memory retrieval tasks, a single, stress-level dose of cortisone (25 mg) administered orally 1 h before retention testing, induced a large decrease in regional cerebral blood flow in the right posterior medial temporal lobe, the left visual cortex and the cerebellum. The decrease in the right posterior medial temporal lobe was maximal in the parahippocampal gyrus, a region associated with successful verbal memory retrieval. Cortisone administration also significantly impaired cued recall of word pairs learned 24 h earlier, while drug effects on performance in the other tasks (verbal recognition, semantic generation and categorization) were not significant. The present results provide further evidence that acutely elevated glucocorticoid levels can impair declarative memory retrieval processes and suggest that such impairments may be related to a disturbance of medial temporal lobe function.

It happened a few times that I hit Publish instead of Save Draft. Despite immediately deleting the erroneously published drafts, it seems they had already escaped into other people's RSS Readers, and there's no way to delete them there.
In order to prevent mistakenly publishing a draft, I wonder if it would be possible to add a pop-up feature saying "Are you SURE you want to publish?" every time the Publish button is hit.

Fares skyrocket at WNC airports
Published: Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 7:23 a.m.
Air travelers in Western North Carolina better be prepared to open their wallets when they fly.
Airports in the region are some of the most expensive in the country, according to an analysis by Forbes Magazine.
Two reporters for Forbes Magazine studied data from the U.S. Department of Transportations origin and destination survey. They calculated the average fare per mile for airports across the country.
The Asheville Regional Airport was rated as the 25th most expensive airport, with an average per-mile fare of $.34 a mile.
Charlottes Douglas International Airport was the seventh most expensive with an average fare per mile of $.37. Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport was rated the fifth most expensive with an average fare per mile of $.38. Johnson City, Tennessees Tri-Cities Regional Airport, was the third most expensive airport with an average fare per mile of $.39.
The Forbes article doesnt tell the entire story, Asheville Regional Airport Director of Marketing and Public Relations Patti Michel said Wednesday. The airlines set fares, not the airports, and the costs associated with airport operations is only a small part of a fares price, she said.
We want to make sure air travel is safe and secure, Michel said. We are disappointed in the Forbes articles.
Airport costs account for only 4.3 percent of an airlines operating expenses, according to a study by the Airports Council International. The costs come from maintaining the terminal, baggage area and runways.
That is charged back to the airlines, Michel said.
She said airport officials make sure the Asheville airport is competitive, and do not believe the airport ranks as the 25th most expensive airport.
We monitor fares, Michel said. If we see anomalies with area airports, we call and contact the carriers.
The Asheville Regional Airport has become more competitive in recent years, said Lisa McKinney with AAA Vacations of Asheville. The airlines understand people will drive to other airports to find a less expensive rate, she said.
In the past, there has been a situation where Asheville was not competitive, but its not the airports fault, McKinney said, adding, Over the past four or five years fares have come down.

With normal crops, you can plant them in rows along with fertilizer sticks to increase the star ranks of the crops grown. How do you fertilize trees if they take up a 3x3 grid and displace furrows?
Fertilizer can be applied to trees by planting them next to the space the tree takes up like so.
Fertilizer applies to every spot in a 3x3 grid centered on the stick, so in the previous example, the tree would gain 3 star points a day. This means that one stick can fertilize four trees if planted like this:
Warning: Do not plant fertilizer sticks in furrows/trenches when trying to fertilize trees, they will not work in this manner.

Erie, PA - "truck tires" search results
About Truck Tires
Most auto shops provide all accessories and auto parts for automobiles of different sizes and models. Truck tires are no exception and they too are available at many of these auto shops. The interesting thing about trucks is that their performance and longevity can be put in control by having good truck tires. This means that when you have a truck in your possession, it is always important to have the best tires for the truck because only then will the truck perform to its best. Most trucks have many tires and usually there are several spares that should be kept nearby. This is to solve the unexpected occurrences of tire problems which are a common thing especially for trucks that are on the road often. Many local truck tire shops will provide truck tires to similar to the ones you have previously had and this is the recommended thing to do. However, one might want to change the sizing or kind of tire which might make them veer off the course a little but at the end of it all still achieve the best performance and great look on their truck because of the tire. After using truck tires for a certain period of time, it is not uncommon for the tires to require retreading. There are many truck tires that are actually retreads. Retreads are simply tires that are originally worn but have been sort of upgraded and reconstructed to make them more useful and to make them last a little longer than usual. The advantage they have is that they are actually less costly than the original new ones therefore many local auto shops are sure enough to have them in supply all the time. In addition, retreading is a recommended thing especially for truck tires because they have an environmental friendly thing about them. This is simply because they actually re-use the old and used tires making it important not to discard the used tires.

More on Truck Tires
There are many important things about tires, whether for trucks or for any other automobile. Firs of all, it is important that before you embark on any driving, you need to monitor the pressure of your tires because the right pressure (as normally recommended by the manufacturer) will lead to more improved handling, less fuel consumption and a lot of other advantages. When manufacturers out tires to the auto shops for sale, there are certain guidelines they provide to help drivers keep within range and get the best out of their automobiles. Certain things like speed rating, load rating, service rating and inflation pressure are some of the things that you need to look out for when you head down to your local auto shop in search for truck tires. Most local tire shops offer all relevant information and accessories about tires and they usually are located in several places for easy access by drivers who are always in search of truck tires to replace the ones that have been on their trucks.

This paper is concerned with the problem of maximizing capacity utilization of the battery power source in a portable electronic system under latency and loss rate constraints. First, a detailed stochastic model of a power-managed, battery powered electronic system is presented. The model, which is based on the theories of continuous-time Markovian decision processes and stochastic networks, captures two important characteristics of today's rechargeable battery cells, i.e., the current rate-capacity characteristic and the relaxation-induced recovery. Next, the battery-aware dynamic power management problem is formulated as a policy optimization problem and solved exactly by using a linear programming approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing heuristic methods for battery management by as much as 17% in terms of the average energy delivered per unit weight of battery cells.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Every week, I will spotlight strange but ultimately endearing comic stories (basically, we're talking lots and lots of Silver Age comic books). Here is the archive of all the installments of this feature. Feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com if you have a suggestion for a future installment!
Today we look at a strange Superman tale that is made even stranger by the fact that it was written by Superman's co-creator, Jerry Siegel. Read on for the story of "The Case of the Living Trophies," from 1947's Superman #45 by Siegel and artist John Sikela (and maybe inker George Roussos)…
The issue opens with Superman doing a lot of super stunts, making himself a total show-off. We eventually find out why he's acting like such a ham – some alien is showing up and kidnapping notable figures around the world (like a famous boxer, a famous scientist, famous reporter Lois Lane, etc.) and he has to get the alien's attention…
They battle, but the alien gets the upper hand and throws out a bizarre pun as he chokes Superman out…
So the alien shows him off to all of his friends…
This leads to Superman out of nowhere debuting two powers, made all the weirder since it was Superman's co-creator who came up with this! I mean, telepathy?! What the heck?!?
And now Superman plays on the alien's stupidity in a brilliant "plan"…
The day is now saved. Superman then destroys the interdimensional traveling device (even as a rich guy offers him millions for it).
What a bizarre story. Less than ten years into Superman's existence! And by his co-creator!
I love this story! I used to have this in a giant sized comic of reprints and it had a footnote added that said "Superman has powers in this story that he no longer possesses." Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lane!
That that Martian Manhunter! Turns out you're even more of a copy-cat that we knew
One of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a Superman comic.
"The pressure's all mine!" Man, even Peter David would groan at that one.
i knew superman stoires were crazy way back when some times but to find one by one of supermans own creators interesting. mostly how the alien proved to be dumb enough to fall for superman using the old i call your bluff on your machine.
It's difficult for us to imagine Superman having the 'wrong' powers after 75 years of continuity, but he was once a fictional character, being made up all along the way. He didn't start off with freeze-breath and super-ventriloquism and the such. The original creators tried things, and some of them just didn't work out.
One of my favorite bits of trivia is that Roger Stern, as the creator of the DC's 1988 Starman, decided to build a brand new superhero using chiefly the powers Superman had discarded, including the shape-shifting abilities shown here.
I don't know if this was the first time, but it was not the only time Superman re-arranged his features. It's the most extreme though.
Neil, that Roger Stern gobbet is fascinating – is there somewhere we can read, or hear, more?
*Many years ago*
Superman, "Time to go to Metropolis and assume a secret identity. Hmm, I could use my amazing shapeshifting abilties to hide who I am. Nah…the humans are pitifully stupid. I'll just buy a pair of cheap glasses and comb my hair in a different way. They'll never figure it out."
It is fascinating what sticks and what doesn't.
I wonder why J'onn J'onzz became the Swiss Army knife of superheroes and Superman was able to freely discard powers that didn't fit the template. Moreover, why did much later examples of Superman being "over-powered" (i.e. pushing the Earth in DC Comics Presents) stick when earlier stuff got dropped.
I think they had Superman using the power of being able to use his muscles to change his face so that Clark looked different than Superman for a little while too. Then that was forgotten.
What I find more bizarre is that Superman somehow wasn't already more famous than a boxer and a beauty contest winner.
Wow, looks like Superman vs. The Shaper of Worlds!
With legs…
The Martian Manhunter debuted six years later, so it's not possible to make a connection between the two stories. If not for that, I'd call this a "backdoor pilot" for that character!
I know, it's a stretch.
It's interesting how fluid things like characters' powers and power levels and back stories were in comics – and in long-running TV shows like Doctor Who. Things were added, dropped, tried out and randomly introduced for years in that show – and even today, writers aren't above introducing a new power!
I wonder at what point these things started to matter to the readers and at what point the creators started to respond to that fan desire for tighter continuity.
A bit of an aside but that's a great looking 1940s Superman, Sikela definitely captures the tough guy aspect of the character during that era.
A famous fighter…
A scientist…
The prettiest woman in Metropolis…
And Lois is there because she is "A woman who calls herself 'brainy'"…
Never seen this one before. Definitely a crazy one! I've even seen one of the old Superman stories where he used his precise muscle control to alter his face, but nothing on the level of this.
What I find more bizarre is that Superman somehow wasn't already more famous than a boxer and a beauty contest winner.
It appears that the alien's journey was sort of haphazard. He would show up somewhere and just grab the first famous person he could find. So that's why Superman had to make sure that the alien saw him.
According to Fleisher's Superman Encyclopedia, shapeshifting goes back to 1942, so this wasn't the debut.
As Neil points out, it's not so crazy in an era where Siegel was constantly pushing Superman's limits. In fact I'd pick super-kissing, which showed up in a few stories, as a goofier power.
Did Stern really base his Starman on the 1940s Superman power set?
Actually, this powers make more sense than many that were developed later and stayed (flying like a jet plane is cool, but, seriously…).
It's quite acceptable that Superman might have full control of his facial muscles so to alter his looks, as this is theoretically possible and happens in real life: think about botox. Of course, getting huge bat-shaped ears is a bit of a stretch, but making Clark's face a bit different would be likely (and clever).
Even some form of telepathy should be at hand for a super-brain, as many suppose all humans have unexpressed ESP capabilities. Of course, kryptonians may not, and, again, a Jedi mind-trick is pushing it a bit too far.
All this capabilities are also likely to require some training and might not show spontaneuosly as super strength or super hearing/vision, so I wouldn't say never to the possibility they may show up again in the new 52 universe (gasp).
I think a lot of readers assume there was no continuity and no developments in the Golden Age. There was, just not as tight as later. As pointed out above, these powers didi not just suddenly pop up and the disappear.
More information regarding the Starman tie in might be interesting, but did Superman ever radiate/fire heat like Starman?
@Dean Hacker
If I remember right, Martian Manhunter had 'mind over matter' powers that made a pond or small lake disappear in his first appearance. That was one power that he did drop.
kdu: Superman still fires heat, through his eyes.
When he's changing shape, he looks like the 'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' monkeys (then think no evil – he is a telepath in this story).

My 12 yo DD made this for her annual 4-H Foods Revue as part of her assigned category for a "Kentucky Derby Day Brunch/Tea". This was the first julep either of us has tasted. While I found the lemon and mint a nice combination, I didn't care for the syrupy sweetness so much. I believe having some bourbon or even brandy would definitely cut the sugar! Of course, 4-H'ers wouldn't be serving that, :-) so we didn't add it, but I sure would for a home-serving of it! I would make again, but with less sugar and more lemon and gingerale. I can see how it would certainly be refreshing in the hot summertime (we had it in April) under the shade of a leafy tree, looking out across the verandah! We added several lemon zest strips to the bottom of the glass--which the judge thought was a nice touch, too--with a lemon slice notched to the edge of the glass for a sunny burst of color.
A great refreshing drink. Made these for a birthday party, and everyone said "Wow". I like that the syrup is not cooked. Instead of letting it stand for 30 minutes, I let it stand in the refrigerator for a couple of days, then poured over ice and added the ginger ale. Thanks for a great summer, nonalcoholic drink!
Wow! I was curious about these, but as I've never had a mint julep (since I don't drink booze), I had no idea what to expect. These are very tasty indeed. I skipped the lemon garnish, as I just made a glass of it instead of a pitcher. The lemon goes very well with the ginger ale, and the mint flavor is subtle but not overwhelmed. Overall a very refreshing, summery drink!
These were awesome. I added a bit of sweetened lime syrup and Limes instead of lemons and I like mine really minty so I added a bunch more mint leaves . I will make these again and again.They were also a definite kid pleaser.

All Rise...
Like Sydney Bristow, Appellate Judge Mac McEntire was once reunited with his long-lost Argentinean sister and found himself part of a secretive black ops organization working for a power-hungry sociopath who claimed to be on the road to redemption. But what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Alias: The Complete First Season (published January 5th, 2004), Alias: The Complete Third Season (published December 8th, 2004), and Alias: The Complete Fifth Season (published March 28th, 2007) are also available.
The Charge
"What's your real name, Charlene?"
Opening Statement
It's been a whirlwind few years for CIA agent Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner, Elektra). At one point, she was a double agent, working for the bad guys while secretly undermining them for the good guys. Then she saw several people close to her either die or betray her. Following that, she experienced lost time, which complicated her sizzling romance with fellow agent Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan, One Hour Photo). Not to mention the fact that she's traveled all over the world on dangerous spy missions, adopting various disguises and beating up underworld henchmen as needed. Most of these missions had to do with documents and artifacts left behind by an ancient mystical seer named Rambaldi. And it was all captured during the first three seasons of Alias.
This fourth season saw a major change in the series, one even more potent than all the surprise reveals of the previous three. Behind the scenes, Alias was reworked with a new goal in mind—drawing in new viewers. Does this gamble pay off?
Facts of the Case
Fed up with all the bureaucracy and the paperwork at the CIA, Sydney joins an elite government black ops group called APO ("Authorized Personnel Only"), one that allows her and her cohorts to take out international bad guys outside of the system. The gang's all here—her now-boyfriend Vaughn, her mysterious father and fellow agent Jack Bristow (Victor Garber, Titanic), and her stoic field partner Dixon (Carl Lumbly, The Ditchdigger's Daughters). They're later joined by wisecracking agent Eric Weiss (Greg Grunberg, Heroes), over-caffeinated gadget expert Marshall Flinkman (Kevin Weisman, Clerks II), and Sydney's recently-discovered long-lost sister Nadia (Mia Maestro, (Poseidon).
Now the bad news: In charge of APO is none other than Arvin Sloane (Ron Rifkin, Pulse), the sociopathic mega-criminal that Sydney has spent her CIA career pursuing, and the man responsible for the deaths of several of her friends and loved ones. Sloane says he's changed his ways and that his evil past is behind him, but the others aren't so sure. Now, Sydney and her teammates must keep an untrusting eye on him while saving the world.
The Evidence
It took 30 agents working around the clock for 12 weeks to break the encryption on this episode list:
• "Authorized Personnel Only" Parts One and Two
• "The Awful Truth"
• "Ice"
• "Welcome to Liberty Village"
• "Nocturne"

Love them or hate them, the first three seasons of Alias were very serialized. Most episodes ended in cliffhangers; plotlines lasted for several episodes, or for entire seasons. Although many criticized the writing for being too complex, I felt that the epiosdes really held up after watching them recently. Thanks to the luxury of DVD, where you can view several episodes at a time, Alias comes across as one gigantic multi-hour spy movie epic. Until you get to Season Four, that is.
In an effort to draw in new viewers, Alias was significantly retooled for this year. This is evident in the opening two-part episode, in which all the characters are quickly reunited and reintroduced in simple, bite-sized chunks of exposition. Once everyone is neatly in place, then it's immediately off for knife-fighting villains on trains and other such action thrills. Yes, in one way this does make the show accessible to new viewers. On the other hand, it cheapens a lot of the character interaction that happened before this. These characters have been to hell and back in the previous seasons, and at times they've even been bitter enemies. With Season Four, the "reset button" has been pressed, and the characters spend most of their time acting like the past never happened. Sure, there are some references to what happened before, and everyone's suspicious about Sloane's alleged reformation, but for the most part, the creators are taking the show back to square one.
Keeping to this mandate, most of the episodes this season are stand-alone stories, which stands in direct contrast to the serialized nature of the previous seasons. Earlier episodes would start by resolving the previous one's cliffhanger, followed by a look at Sydney's home life or her interaction with her spy coworkers, after which she would head off on another mission, which in one way or another would tie into a larger, far-reaching plot. In Season Four, however, the missions are the point of most episodes, instead of just one element of them. We spend the majority of the episode with the characters while they're working undercover. We get to know the people they meet while doing so. Suddenly, the conflict in each story is situation-based, not character-based, which changes the tone of the series considerably. We're suddenly more wrapped up in whether Sydney will acquire and/or destroy the McGuffin of the week rather than being wrapped up in her relationship with Vaughn or with her father. Speaking of McGuffins, the Rambaldi plotline gets a handful of mentions this season, but it's nowhere near the driving force it was for the characters in the three previous years. There are a few ongoing arcs, such as Jack's illness and Vaughn's investigation into his father's death, but even these take a back seat to the standalone plots.
So Alias has been dumbed down a little. Fortunately, Season Four is not a total loss. This show gets a lot of praise as a modern-day Mission Impossible, so much so that creator J.J. Abrams was tapped to direct Mission Impossible III. Alias, though, is Jim Phelps' true successor. Although Garner is the star, most episodes feature a whole team of experts working together on a mission, with high-tech gadgets, disguises, near misses, gunfights, and more. Add to that plenty of cleverly-choreographed fight scenes, and you've got a thrilling set of adventure stories to pour through on this set. It's a lot of fun, but it's lost a lot of its depth.
The actors continue to make the most of the scripts they're given. Garner shines when playing an assortment of aliases, adopting different accents and languages for many of them, but she can also bring a lot of heart to scenes in which she worries about her friends and loved ones. It's Victor Garber who is the real standout. Most of the time, he's the cold, calculating agent, willing to go to any lengths, no matter how ruthless, in order to get the job done. He, too, gets to show his human side later on in the season as Jack's health deteriorates. Unfortunately, Ron Rifkin isn't given much of a chance to shine. He seemed at his best when Sloane was a fugitive, surrounded by the criminal element and always one step ahead of our heroes. Seating him comfortably behind a desk all season has removed of a lot of the drive from the character. Michael Vartan and Carl Lumbly have their tough guy roles down to a science by now, and Kevin Weisman and Greg Grunberg fill their comic relief roles just as nicely.
That brings us to Nadia, the new addition to Sydney Bristow's life this year. Notice how Nadia is only referred to by name about half the time. Sydney always has to refer to her as "my sister," and to everyone else she's "Sydney's sister." The emphasis isn't on who she is, but on what she is. This is carried over from Season Three, when Nadia spent most of her time on screen either unconscious or in a trance. Season Four is our first chance to really get to know her. There are some hints that she might be loyal to Sloane, but for the most part, we don't really get inside her head until later in the season, after learning about her growing up in Argentina. Mia Maestro portrays Nadia with confidence, as a slightly more serious version of Sydney, but I'm still left with the feeling that even more could have been done with the character.
Special mention must be made of the final episode, which, unlike so many other episodes this season, actually rewards viewers who have been following the series since day one. It almost defies the criticisms that the writers are making it all up as they go along. The Rambaldi plotline would seem to reach its height here, as do a lot of the character beats that have been building over the season and over the series. On the negative side, all the new viewers for whom the creators have so carefully structured this season will likely be confused by the sudden influx of continuity from years earlier.
Alias was broadcast in high definition for this season, so it's a no-brainer that the picture quality here is razor sharp. Audio is equally good, especially during gunfights and when the show's trademark techno score kicks in. The four episode commentaries are good ones, combining behind-the-scenes information with amusing trivia. The interview with Jennifer Garner is similarly good, but suffers from some bad audio—it was recorded as the crew built a new set behind her. Mia Maestro's interview doesn't have quite as much information, but shows her enthusiasm for joining the show. Another featurette has some of this season's notable guest stars share their thoughts in quick interview snippets. The "Director's Diary" featurette follows the production of the episode "The Descent" and the insane amount of work that went into making it. "Anatomy of a Scene" is really about special effects, with a look at how computer technology transforms a bluescreen stage into a moving train, and how the California skyline was replaced with France for one action scene. On the more humorous side, "Marshall's World" has a camera crew following Kevin Weisman around the set for one day as he horses around with his co-stars, "Agent Weiss' Spy Camera" has Grunberg sarcastically narrating a slideshow of photos he took during production, and the blooper reel offers plenty of cheap laughs as the actors crack up and/or blow their lines. Overall, it's an excellent collection of extras for a TV box set.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Realism is not a friend to this series. It's always been a conceit that Jennifer Garner could beat up thugs twice her size, and now it's even more so that the petite-looking Mia Maestro can do the same. Also, no matter where on the globe these characters travel, they're fluent in the native language? Not to mention the constant stream of crazy gadgets, swanky nightclubs, outrageous escapes, surprise double crosses, ancient booby-trapped crypts, and much more. Some might argue, of course, that the over-the-top silliness inherent in the show just makes it that much more fun. Just know that as far as espionage thrillers go, Alias is one of the more cartoony ones.
Closing Statement
If this had been the show's premiere season, I'd be praising it much more. But because I've seen how much better Alias has been, that makes this one a slight let-down. The action is great, but the story just isn't up to par. For die-hard fans, there's a lot to enjoy, but there's also a lot that will frustrate. If you're new to Alias, I say start from Season One, and see where the ride take you from there.
The Verdict
Alias: The Complete Fourth Season is found not guilty for being a solid piece of entertainment, but it must nonetheless be sent to a secret CIA brainwashing room to re-watch the first three seasons to reclaim what it's lost.

"Marysville, Kansas" Marysville by basstbn
Marysville Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 35 photos
Not only is Marysville, Kansas, home to the first home station on the Pony Express route, it was on the junction of many of the important early trails such as the Oregon Trail, Mormon Trail, etc. That home station is still intact in its original location, and may be visited today.
Marysville has the unusual distinction of being the home of numerous black squirrels not native to the region. How did that happen? Read about it in my Things To Do tips.
Two parallel main streets set very close together - dating back to territorial days before Kansas was a state. The story behind that is found in my Things To Do tips.
- Pros:Amazing number of interesting sites (and sights) for a town of this size
- Cons:A little, no a lot, out of the way, unless you're traveling US 36 (which is a good idea anyway)
- In a nutshell:Warm friendly people plus interesting things to see = a very nice visit!

Soul Singer Ayo Has 'Nothing to Hide'
The latest musical sensation from Europe, German-born singer Ayo Ogunmakin is celebrating the U.S. release of her new album, Joyful, which has already seen double-platinum success in France.
Born to a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter — whose name means "joy" in Yoruba — has experienced her share of hardship and pain.
As a youngster, Ayo was sent to foster care after seeing her mother descend into heroin addiction. She says her experiences have influenced the openness that many have come to appreciate about her music.
"When I started singing about my life ... suddenly, it was my own voice," Ayo says.
That voice works in a soulful and eclectic mixture of genres.
"I call it regg-afro-folk," she says, referring to a mix of reggae, R&B and folk sounds. "You can't really name it. ... It's like a big mix."
The mix seems to come naturally to Ayo. Her father was a '70s disc jockey, and that helped foster her appreciation for a range of artists, from Bob Marley to Donnie Hathaway to Pink Floyd.
In addition to the breakout success of her first solo album, Ayo is experiencing the joys of motherhood with the birth of her son, Nile.
Here, Ayo performs songs from Joyful and talks about her plans to take the music world by storm.

Rafael Nadal reached a seventh consecutive final since returning from a seven-month injury layoff with 6-0, 6-4 win over compatriot Pablo Andujar at the Madrid Masters on Saturday.
The 26-year-old will next face Stanislas Wawrinka who beat Tomas Berdych 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
World number 113 Andujar was blown away in the opening set, winning just nine points, as Nadal broke three times to take it 6-0.
Victory extended Nadal's incredible run to 31-2 since returning from the tendinitis problem in his knee.
He is a huge favourite to win his third title in Madrid after a week of surprises which saw exits for the world's top three ranked players, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray.
Berdych is in fine form at the moment having won on clay in Portugal last weekend.

Fortunately, the apps don't appear to be malicious. But the presence of the free apps -- Rose Wedding Cake Game and Pirates Island Mahjong Free, which have been downloaded by between 15,000 and 60,000 people -- on the Google Play site calls into question whether Google is now scanning for apps that abuse the so-called master key vulnerability that was discovered by Bluebox Labs in February and detailed by Android hackers earlier this month, as well as a similar vulnerability that was disclosed last week by researchers at Android Security Squad in China.
"We always advise people to stick to applications that are delivered via Google Play," said Bogdan Botezatu, the senior e-threat analyst at BitDefender who discovered the apps, speaking by phone. "But we just saw applications manifesting this behavior on Google Play. So what do I advise my users and readers?"
In the meantime, he's notified Google about the apps and emphasized that "they do not pose a threat for users." In addition, he said, "We also notified the developers because at the moment we do not know if this is a voluntary behavior or if this is a side effect of them using a specific software development toolkit," which in this case was Adobe AIR. It's also possible that a simple coding mistake is to blame for the apps sporting two duplicate PNG files with the same name and extension being located in the same folder. "This is not a good practice, because the file system was not designed in such a way to allow two files with the same names and the same extension to be in the same folder -- it's going to lead to confusion," said Botezatu.
[ ReKey app patches major Android vulnerability, but devices must be rooted. Read more at Android Users Can Patch Critical Flaw. ]
Regardless, the apps won't be allowed to execute by the latest version of Android, or if users have installed antivirus or security software designed to block the master key exploit.
But given that Google was first alerted to the vulnerability in February, it's curious that its automated Bouncer application security checks didn't intercept the apps, which were last updated in mid-May and mid-June. "I'm not sure if Google Play didn't flag these applications as malicious because they didn't have malicious behavior, or if they weren't able to scan these applications for the vulnerability in Google Play," Botezatu said.
A Google spokesman didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment about the apps, or whether Google is now actively scanning all apps to detect if they appear to exploit the vulnerability.
From a patch standpoint, Android quickly patched the master key vulnerability in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) after learning of the vulnerability in February, and some recently released devices -- Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One devices running Android 4.2.2 or above -- have a related patch. Likewise, the developers behind the third-party Android firmware CyanogenMod have updated their firmware with patches for the master key vulnerability identified by Bluebox Labs, as well as the more recent vulnerability identified by Android Security Squad.
How can other Android users protect themselves against the vulnerability? The easiest approach is to use an Android antivirus app that's been updated to block any apps that attempt to exploit the vulnerability, and both BitDefender and Webroot updated their Android antivirus software Tuesday, with Botezatu noting that BitDefender's software also includes a patch for the flaw spotted by Android Security Squad. Alternately, more advanced Android users can install ReKey from Duo Security, which will patch the vulnerability, but only on rooted devices.
Unfortunately, however, the majority of Android may have to wait months -- if ever -- to see a related operating system update for their device from their handset maker or carrier. "The thing is, not for users of Cyanogenmod, but rather who are part of the huge ecosystem that's Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread [or earlier], they are highly unlikely to receive any security updates from carriers," said BitDefender's Botezatu. "That's why we rushed the fix for our antivirus, because everyone can install an antivirus, but not everyone can upgrade their device. It's difficult for a regular user to root their phone and install a third-party ROM."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Hi all,
I'm building a site where I've got images attached to pages. I'd like to be able to display thumbnails on respective pages, which I've got the code to make happen, but I want to have the first thumbnail actually be the medium-sized version of the image. In other words:
first image - medium-sized version
remaining images - thumbnail sized versions.
Any thoughts? I've seen documentation where people use an offset but that's been done when displaying images from posts, offset by a post.

Phoenix Cop Pete Bennett Shot by Man Stopped for Not Having a Bicycle Light, Records Show
Although Phoenix's chief of police wouldn't go into detail about why Officer Pete Bennett approached the man who shot him several times on Sunday, court records state that 28-year-old Brandon McCabe was pulled over for riding a bicycle without a light.
According to the court documents obtained by New Times, Bennett -- driving his marked Phoenix PD Chevy Tahoe -- flipped on the lights and told McCabe to stop for not having a light on his bicycle, as required by state law.

At a press conference earlier this week, Police Chief Daniel Garcia didn't get too detailed about why Bennett approached McCabe, other than for "suspicious activity." The chief said the area is a "high-profile enforcement area," where robberies and assaults are more common.

Court records provide the supposed violation for stopping McCabe, leading up to the shooting, which was the light-less bicycle.
"McCabe stopped in the roadway and immediately began protesting that he had done nothing wrong," a Phoenix police detective writes in a probable-cause statement.
After ignoring Bennett's instructions, then pedaling away, then dropping the bike and running away, McCabe fell over as he was being chased by Bennett, according to the documents.
Bennett apparently didn't see that McCabe was pulling out a handgun, but once it was out, Bennett tried to control McCabe by his hands.
When Bennett lost control of McCabe's hands, Bennett backed away, and broadcast his situation on the police radio, the documents state.
McCabe, who was still on the ground, then fired his first shot from the .380-caliber handgun, striking Officer Bennett in the face. The bullet hit him on the side of the chin, and went out through his cheek.
According to the probable-cause statement, that shot knocked Bennett to the ground, and McCabe walked over to him, stood over him, and fired off more shots.
At some point during this, Bennett was able to pull his gun on McCabe, hitting McCabe in both hands before he ran away.
Although the initial report from police was that Bennett was shot six times, with three of those bullets being stopped by a bulletproof vest, these documents state Bennett was shot five times, with two of those shots being stopped by his vest.
The three other bullets landed in Bennett's cheek, thigh, and arm. Still, just a couple days after the shooting, Bennett was able to walk around and talk to the media.
As for McCabe, he dropped the gun at the scene, and hid in someone's shed for a bit before officers found him.
McCabe's been charged with attempted first-degree murder, misconduct involving weapons, resisting arrest, and criminal trespassing. His bond was set at $1 million.

A word of warning to San Francisco fans who are, rightfully, getting geeked up about the 49ers' 9-1 mark. One of the key stats in forecasting the possible playoff success of a team is how much of a differential there is between yards a team gains per play and how many it gives up. Championship teams are usually at .6 more yards per play. For instance, if a team allows 5.0 yards per play, a potential title team is usually around at least 5.6 yards gained per play. For the 49ers, they are only at .1, gaining a pedestrian 5.3 yards per play while allowing 5.2 yards per play. In short, the 49ers have the statistical numbers of a team that should be closer to 6-4 than 9-1.
Thats all you got Cole
Well we lead the league in Turnovers so maybe we don't to gain a lot of yards on offense to get points!

BowLeven to Start Oil Exploration in Kenya After Adamantine Deal
BowLeven Plc, the U.K. oil explorer that's focused on Cameroon, will start searching for oil in Kenya after buying a 50 percent stake in an onshore exploration block from Adamantine Energy Ltd.
BowLeven will fund two years of exploration at an estimated cost of $10 million in Block 11b extending over 14,000 square kilometers (5,400 square miles) in northwest Kenya, where U.K. explorer Tullow Oil Plc made the country's first oil discovery earlier this year, according to a statement today.
"This new acreage affords the company exposure to an exciting new hydrocarbon province for a minimal capital commitment," BowLeven Chief Executive Officer Kevin Hart said in the statement.
The block covers the Loeli, Lotikipi, Gatome and South Gatome basins, north of the Lokichar basin where Tullow's Ngamia-1 well found oil in March this year. Geological analysis suggests the basins are similar to Lokichar, BowLeven said.
"The two companies have complementary technical and operational skill sets and we can draw upon the outstanding track record of BowLeven's technical team in Cameroon," Adamantine Energy's CEO Chris Matchette-Downes said.
BowLeven will provide technical support to Adamantine Energy and the initial exploration program will include an airborne geophysical survey and the acquisition of 2D seismic, the company said.
