Chrysler Betting Big on Dodge Dart
LOS ANGELES—Chrysler Group LLC expects December to be its best sales month to date for its new Dodge Dart compact car, according to a senior executive.
Chrysler expects Dart sales of around 5,000 cars this month, and the number to rise as a better mix of vehicles arrives at dealerships, Dodge brand chief Reid Bigland said in an interview at the Los Angeles Auto Show. December typically is a strong selling month for auto makers, he added.
"Into December, we expect to break through that 5,000 mark without too much difficulty," Mr. Bigland said.
The Dart, which went on sale in late June, is one of Chrysler's most important new models since it exited bankruptcy in 2009.
The vehicle is the first car to be produced from Chrysler's partnership with majority owner Fiat SpA and represents a major test of CEO Sergio Marchionne's vision for combining the two companies into a single, global auto maker.
It is also Chrysler's first new small sedan in nearly seven years, so its performance in the hotly-contested market for compacts is being closely watched.
So far, Dodge has sold 14,709 Darts since the car's launch in June, including 5,455 in October, according to researcher Autodata Corp. Dart sales in September were 5,235.
While sales are climbing, they're still about one-fourth of what other top models like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla sell in a month. The Chevrolet Cruze, a U.S. built compact car launched in 2010 by General Motors Co., reported sales of 19,121 in October.
Upon launching the Dart in June, Chrysler executives say they had planned for a gradual production ramp to ensure quality. The first Darts to hit dealer lots were equipped with stick shifts only, followed later in the summer by automatic transmissions. A high-mileage version of the Dart, called the Aero, that gets up to 41 miles on a gallon of gasoline in highway driving, began arriving this fall.
Mr. Bigland said the company is now delivering a more optimal mix of manuals, automatics and packaging options to its U.S. dealers. "We like the spot we're in with the Dart," he added.
Buyers are paying to add more options and features to the Dart, helping it fetch an average transaction price of $22,012, Mr. Bigland said. That is about $2,800 higher than the average for compact cars and about $5,000 more than its predecessor, the Dodge Caliber, he added.

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
Vision Statement:
Providing Today's Bounty and Sustaining Land Resources for Future Generations.
Mission Statement:
To develop procedures, strategies and systems that maintain or enhance beneficial soil
properties and environmental quality, retain a favorable ecological balance, and sustain
Program Rationale:
Sustainable agricultural systems and all land uses require a well functioning soil resource.
Soil's capacity to control water and solute flow, to serve as a nutrient reserve and the primary
location for nutrient cycling processes, to act as a purifying, filtering and buffering media for
waste, and to function as a structural support media enable it to function as the central
resource to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality,
and support human health and habitation. These functions are not only important to
agricultural issues, but directly affect many of our other current concerns - sustainable
development, biodiversity, global change and environmental quality. Mismanagement of the
soil resource has lead to the collapse of civilizations.
Agriculture understands the importance of soil and desires to maintain it. However,
sometimes in its desire to maximize yield rather than productivity (output per unit input),
agriculture has exacerbated some problems. It is imperative that there be a balance between
the short-term utilization of the soil resource, which can lead to abuse and misuse, with its
long-term sustainability. Intensification of agricultural production in response to population
growth and future food demand will place unprecedented stresses on soil and other
There is a need to holistically assess the soil resource to achieve the appropriate balance
between utilization and sustainability. There exists no comprehensive, coordinated approach
for this assessment. Therefore, land managers and resource conservationists are not able to
qualitatively or quantitatively evaluate (with necessary accuracy) the effects of land use
practices or management decisions on the soil resource.
Assessments without management strategies to improve degraded soils or maintain good soil
stewardship are of little value. Management strategies must consider the relationship between
soils and their surrounding environment and use in its totality. Best management practices that
focus on one factor to the exclusion of others do not lead to optimum soil resource use. We
may, for example, improve the short term fertility of soils at the expense of environmental
degradation or improve water quality by inappropriately curtailing food and fiber production.
With appropriate management systems we can use our soils for productive purposes while
conserving, restoring, protecting, and enhancing their quality.
The purpose of the Soil Resource Assessment and Management National Program is to
identify, conduct, evaluate, and coordinate research and technology transfer activities
conducted by USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS) scientists throughout the United
States. This provides a comprehensive, coordinated approach to develop management
strategies designed to restore, enhance, and protect the soil resource. These management
strategies must focus on sustainable systems that match plants, animals, tillage and other
manipulations with water supply, climate and soil conditions.
Other national programs address Soil Resource Assessment and Management issues.

MENLO PARK -- Sunset, the 114-year-old magazine that survived the San Francisco earthquake, introduced California to the backyard wooden deck and continues to be a must-read for foodies, garden lovers and armchair travelers, faces an uncertain future amid rumors of the planned breakup of the country's biggest magazine empire.
Sunset was sold to Time Warner in 1990 for $225 million and has continued to follow its popular formula of focusing on living in the West. But unconfirmed reports suggest that Sunset and its book-publishing arm could be part of a deal with Des Moines, Iowa-based Meredith Corp. that would allow Time Warner's magazine division, Time Inc., to retain magazines including Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated and Money while shedding properties including People, InStyle and Real Simple.
That has loyal Sunset readers worrying about the future of their beloved magazine, which has not been mentioned in news stories.
"Certain magazines have done well, and Sunset is one of those," said Tim Hendrick, who teaches advertising at San Jose State and has worked with some of Time Inc.'s magazines. "It's a very strong magazine and a great regional publication that focuses on cooking, travel and gardening. The Sunset brand itself is very viable on the West Coast."
Representatives for Time Warner and Meredith have not commented on a possible sale. Sunset's 12th and current editor, Kitty Morgan, referred questions to the magazine's public relations department.
David Renard, who tracks the magazine industry as the managing partner for New York-based mediaIDEAS, said the magazines most often mentioned for sale to Meredith "are much more news focused than entertainment and lifestyle focused. If that's the case, Sunset would probably fall in those titles that would be sold. ... Meredith has its own views on what's going to sell and what's not going to sell (among readers). So it's very difficult to predict how that could affect the editorial direction of the magazine."
Meredith publishes Better Homes & Garden and Ladies' Home Journal.
Scott Fosdick, who teaches magazine courses at SJSU, said "the good news for Sunset is that Meredith is a good publisher. They're likely to be more sensitive toward a regional magazine like Sunset than a publisher based in New York."
Other magazines, such as Good Housekeeping, have test kitchens like Sunset, and other competitors have succeeded by focusing on particular cities or regions. But few have put all of the pieces together like Sunset, which regularly invites readers and advertisers onto its picturesque 16-acre Menlo Park grounds, which include a garden where it tests new plants and concepts.
And few magazines have continuously published for so long, even through the 1906 earthquake that disrupted Sunset's then-San Francisco headquarters.
"Sunset's unique because they've got a wonderful property and all this real estate devoted to their own gardens and their own chickens, and they throw these great events that I've been to," Fosdick said. "Sunset has a lot of service in their magazine, defined as 'news you can use.' If you can get a reader to tear out a page and actually do something the magazine has recommended, you create a bond and a kind of loyalty you just don't get from reading and enjoying an article. You've actually changed their life in a small way, and Sunset excels at that."
Sunset -- and its folksy, midcentury "Sunset" logo -- continues to draw 1.1 million readers, who tend to skew older and female. The median age of Sunset's readers is about 52, and 71 percent are women, according to data on Sunset's website.
But Sunset has never been a traditional "women's magazine," said Michael A. Keller, a Stanford University librarian who wrote about the magazine for its 1998 centennial.
"I don't see it as particularly pitched to women at all," Keller said. "It's about Western living."
Keller, who was born in Colorado and educated on the East Coast, always had Sunset around the house as a guide for him and his family in the Bay Area.
"We looked to Sunset for advice about where to go and what to see," Keller said.
Sunset was born in May 1898 as a marketing tool for the Southern Pacific Railroad to get Americans excited about the potential of America's "Far West."
Sunset's first issue included an article on the wonders of Yosemite and pushed an early pro-environment bent that can still be found in its current emphasis on food, gardening, travel and the home, Hendrick said.
Early Sunset contributors included a young Jack London reporting on his journey to Alaska's Klondike, and authors John Muir, Sinclair Lewis and Western writer Zane Grey.
Sunset's current do-it-yourself focus began to take shape under former owner Larry Lane Sr., who also maintained Sunset's pro-environmental agenda by editorializing against the use of the pesticide DDT in home gardens in 1969. Sunset not only lost millions of dollars by dropping all DDT advertising, but its largest pesticide advertiser, Chevron Corp.'s Ortho subsidiary, later established its own line of books to compete with Sunset's book-publishing arm.
Sally Lehrman, a journalism professor at Santa Clara University, believes a potential new owner for Sunset should respect the magazine's legacy and its current editorial focus.
"We think of it as old-fashioned because it's what we grew up with," Lehrman said. "It was on our parents' dining room table. But the things that Sunset has stuck with are the things that matter to us today. And Sunset continues to tell the intimate story of the West in the home."

The Worst Dressed Celebs of the Week
Just as Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt are getting a little too old to fulfill our hottie- action-hero fantasies, along comes 35-year- old Sam Worthington, with his soulful eyes and the kind of deep, raspy voice that hits you right in the back of the knees. Our crush kicked in when the Aussie actor played a soldier with a heart of gold in Avatar and gained momentum as he showed off more skin and grit in Clash of the Titans. By the time he portrayed a Nazi-hunting secret agent in The Debt this past August, we were sold on him as our Fun Fearless Male of the Year. This month, we're psyched to see this A-list leading man in the thriller/heist flick Man on a Ledge, and he'll soon be donning that thigh- baring tunic again for Wrath of the Titans. Sam claims he's not like the lovable badasses he plays in movies, but after this convo, we're, uh, pretty sure he is.
Liam Hemsworth has an amazing year ahead of him. The 22-year-old Aussie will star in the thriller The Expendables 2, alongside action bigwigs Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone, and in the indie drama AWOL. And then there's that little movie called The Hunger Games, in which he plays the brooding good guy Gale Hawthorne. The flick, based on Suzanne Collins's best-selling book, comes out next month, and industry insiders are predicting it will rake in major bucks. Hunger Games fans are calling it the next Twilight Saga, which would make Liam the next R-Patz. Yeah, we think he's up for the challenge.

What the World Wants
ALEXA HIRSCHFELD: Is this something the world wants?
People always ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. In reality, that's a pretty loaded question and one that's dangerous even when posed to adults. (I, for one, wanted to be lots of things.) It turns out that the question we should really be asking is, "What does the world want?"
The first phone call I had about the idea for Paperless Post was with my brother and soon-to-be co-founder James. We'd conspired many times before on ideas for movies, stories, but most of our ideas to date had been motivated by our own passions and less by what other people would find useful. This time, when we talked, it was all about imagining what users would think and then working backwards from there. Imagining their needs and requests made it immediately clear exactly what this product would look like and what niche it would fill. Had someone been listening in on our conversation, it would have sounded like a conversation about a product that already existed.
Are you the right team to be building your product?
Frankly, if a product is valuable and easy to make, someone has already made it. If your idea is truly new and useful, it will be hard journey. Someone once told us, "Everything you think is going to be easy turns out to be really hard and to take a really long time. Everything you think is going to be hard turns out to be really hard and takes a really long time."
James and I had a clear vision of how Paperless Post should look and work from the beginning—that was the easy part. We knew that the crux of our product would be the design tool: a fun, easy, and responsive interface that allowed customers to create something that reflected their individuality and style, but also appeared as though a professional designer had designed it. We could even picture the exact palettes, fonts, and styles of the card designs.
At the time, I was barely out of college and James was still finishing his undergrad degree. We had no experience building a technology company from scratch and consequently had very little idea about how difficult it would be to build the tool we were envisioning. Ultimately, our passion was our savior. Because we as founders so believed in this design tool, we focused our energy on features that would eventually prove to be the product's key differentiators and hired a small team of developers and designers that were dedicated to the same end goals.
Working with the right people on problems you are all passionate about solving is the key to succeeding in the business you choose. If the key feature of Paperless Post had been payment processing, logistics, or fraud prevention, rather than our design tool, things would have turned out differently.
How can you overcome the fear of failing?
The day I left my former job in May 2008, I was 24 and living at home. Paperless Post was still a year away from being launched publicly and the belief that people would want our product was still just a belief. That day, at a meeting, an experienced entrepreneur told me bitterly, "This funny thing happens when you start a website. You make it—and then no one comes." When I got home from the meeting, my mom had made my favorite Greek dish, pastistio, and when I looked at it I felt so nauseated I had to leave the room.
Because I had just forfeited the income with which we'd been funding the company, we now had a specific time limit on our opportunity; at the end of twelve months we were either going to succeed or fail. For the first time, I imagined what that failure would look like. I thought of all the time and money we had already spent and would spend in the coming months and what it would be like to lose it all.
To prevent myself from becoming completely overwhelmed with that possibility, I tried to domesticate the threat of loss in terms of other things I might have enjoyed spending the same amount of money on. Missing out on the equivalent amount of vacations or things I could have bought seemed suddenly like a much smaller loss than the failure of a business I had devoted myself to. Pushing my fears aside with this line of thinking helped me cope with my anxiety about failing and allowed us to move forward. Twelve months later—despite my prolonged loss of appetite—Paperless Post launched and its immediate adoption proved that our belief about what consumers were looking for was true after all.

Missing at Samsung's Big Galaxy S 4 Unveiling: Google
At Samsung's big unveiling of the Galaxy S 4 last night, the terms "Samsung" and "Galaxy" were mentioned hundreds of times.
But one of Samsung's strongest partners Google, was hardly of note, if mentioned at all. Even when walking through the specs, Samsung spent virtually no time talking about Android, the software from Google that helped Samsung become the leader in smartphones.
Instead, Samsung focused most of its time talking about the Galaxy S 4′s improved camera, sharper screen and most of all, the dozens of new software features built by Samsung engineers.
In fact, the specs and actual device only accounted for about six minutes or so of the roughly hour-long presentation — before the event spun into a weirdly campy Broadway production designed around revealing the special features in the Galaxy S 4.
There are two things happening here:
- Samsung is making it abundantly clear that this is a Samsung phone, with Android just being the back-end. It has a navigator replacement with its own S 4 driving assistant — like Google Maps' navigator component. It has its own synchronizing system across multiple devices for things like files and photos — kind of akin to Google Drive. It has its own translation service. And so on and so forth.
- This phone is really not about the specs, but about the kind of extra features that Samsung has attached to the software. Nearly 20 minutes into the presentation and spanning to the end, Samsung representatives walked through the special features like health monitoring and its "Dual Camera" feature.
As we've reported before, Google executives worry that Samsung has become so big that it could flex its muscle to renegotiate their arrangement and eat into Google's lucrative mobile-ad business.
The relationship has become increasingly complicated, as Samsung has become one of the most dominant Android device makers — and is giving Apple a serious run for its money. And with the S 4, it seems like Samsung is trying to differentiate itself even further from Android with specific services, though it still runs Google's latest version of Android.
That being said, Samsung's mobile chief J. K. Shin disagreed with the assertion that there was tension with Google, in an exclusive interview with the Journal's Yun-Hee Kim:
WSJ: Samsung has become a dominant maker of Android-based phones. Has your relationship with Google changed?
Mr. Shin: We like Android and we plan to continue our good relations with Google. I don't think it's correct to say that there's friction.
Google has an insurance policy for this – Motorola is working on building a flagship device known as the 'X Phone' that it hopes will fare well against the Galaxy. But the unveiling of the Galaxy S 4 probably hasn't helped assuage Google's concerns over Samsung's heft.
Representatives from Google and Samsung weren't immediately available for comment.

Thanks to Gloria for getting what the book intended: a story meant to entertain and issues meant to make readers think about contemporary issues in the world and how their own lives are affected. Hopefully the conversations that follow will help solve some of today's pressing problems.
Gloria is a compelling writer in her own right. Her previous reviews and business articles are insightful and forthright. If I might suggest, she has all of the qualities of an excellent storyteller.
Thanks again, Tribune. People all over the Tahoe basin are talking about your efforts.

Using the fast forward to go 1.5x works, but anything faster and I just get "Network Error" messages (and I'm running on full wired gigabit, and using a Win7 PC on an intel i7 3.2 Ghz processor with 12 GB of ram).
What I really want is to use the >>| button to skip 30 seconds ahead, like I can in Media Center, as well as using the |<< button to go 10 seconds back. This single edition would make the most dramatic improvement in my PS3 Media Server experience. Please make it so!

A Kentucky man was arrested at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport for carrying a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage.
Transportation Security Administration officers said they detected a loaded .380-caliber handgun in the man's carry-on luggage Monday.
The gun was loaded with six rounds, an airport spokesperson said.
Police identified the man as 47-year-old William Rice Jr., of Union. He has a valid concealed carry permit from Boone County.
Airport police said the passenger was ticketed to fly to Atlanta. Authorities said Rice told them he forgot the weapon as in his bag.
Rice faces a possible fine of up to $11,000 for carrying the gun.
TSA policy allows for handguns to be carried in checked baggage only.

Thanks for that Jules, very interesting. Never heard of that Japanese medicine or herb before so had a look for it on MSKCC and came up with this link.

Perhaps Percy will have heard more of that. Thanks again for the link.
I did mention this Chinese herbal combination under "my personal case study" on 2/22/2012. please read the link below. It is not new, most the Chinese , Japanese and Far East older generation all should know about .
It is a complimentary medicine formula and not a therapeutic agent in the sense of the Western medicine practice.

God bless.
Thanks guys. Very informative Percy. I read your case study - this disease really is a roller coaster! My mum is going to take the shi quan da bu tan, to see if it helps with chemo side effects.
Fingers are crossed for your mum Jules that it helps! Good luck with it. And yes, all of this is definitely a rollercoaster!

AUSTIN (December 20, 2012)—Texas Gov. Rick Perry issued a proclamation Thursday declaring a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. Friday to coincide with Connecticut's Day of Mourning in memory of the 26 victims of the deadly shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn.
Perry also encouraged places of worships and other buildings with bells to ring them 26 times in honor of each of the 26 victims.
"Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we find hope in the stories of courage and bravery that have emerged in the aftermath," Perry said.
"This is an opportunity to join together in the spirit of healing, and in honor of those who were lost."
Meanwhile, Baylor's McLane Carillon will toll at 8:30 a.m. Friday in response to the request of Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy that bells across the nation be rung 26 times at 9:30 a.m. EST (8:30 a.m. CST) in memory of the lives lost last week.
Malloy has signed a proclamation declaring Friday a "Day of Mourning" in the State of Connecticut and requesting that residents statewide participate in a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. He also requested houses of worship and government buildings that have the capability, to ring bells 26 times during that moment in honor of each life that was taken.

SANTA CLARA -- Come Wednesday, the 49ers will learn what course they must set for their first Super Bowl win in 20 years. It'll be schedule-release day (5 p.m., PT).
It won't be an easy path to Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Ariz.
The 49ers rank in the top five for strength-of-schedule in 2014. Their upcoming opponents had a .563 winning percentage last season, tied for the fourth-highest mark with the San Diego Chargers. The three teams ahead of them are on the 49ers schedule: Raiders (.578), Denver Broncos (.570) and St. Louis Rams (.564).
Unlike last season, when the 49ers traveled conceivably more miles than any club in NFL history, this season will be more mileage friendly. Their only game in the Eastern Time Zone is against the New York Giants, and their next furthest games are those on the Mississippi River shores in St. Louis and New Orleans.
Of course, this is the 49ers' first season at the nearly completed Levi's Stadium, a $1.3 billion venue next to their long-time training facility in Santa Clara. Their regular-season home opener is not expected until Week 2, likely on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
Here's a look at their 16 games, ranked by potential intrigue in each matchup:
1. At Seattle Seahawks: Site of last season's end (and fateful end-zone interception).
2. Vs. Seattle Seahawks: They may be reigning champs but they haven't won in the Bay Area since 2008 -- or in 2,004 days.
3. At Denver Broncos: It's the Super Bowl runner-up show!
4. At Raiders: Rare Coliseum visit. Matt Schaub, watch out for Tramaine Brock this time.
5. Vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Welcome home, er, back Alex Smith.
6. At New Orleans Saints: Ahmad Brooks & Co. return to the scene of last year's crime (not to be confused with this offseason's crime wave.)
7. At Arizona Cardinals: Toughest division game outside of Seahawks matchups.
8. Vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense vs. the 49ers' elite but evolving defense.
9. At Dallas Cowboys: Classic rivalry, and first 49ers trip to Jerry's World -- outside of 2009 exhibition.
10. Vs. Chicago Bears: They were Colin Kaepernick's prey for his first career start.
11. At New York Giants: Will Eli Manning's ankle be up for this always-theatrical matchup.
12. Vs. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III floundered last season vs. the 49ers, but this time he has DeSean Jackson.
13. Vs. Arizona Cardinals: How did this division rival miss the playoffs last season with a 10-6 mark? Answer: 2-4 in NFC West.
14. Vs. St. Louis Rams: Did you know the Rams (L.A., version) spoiled the 49ers' Candlestick debut?
15. Vs. San Diego Chargers: Yes, it's coming on 20 years since the 49ers beat them in the Super Bowl.
16. At St. Louis Rams: They may play the 49ers tough, but the Rams haven't had a winning season since 2003 (circa: Dennis Erickson era).

Katie Holmes is seeing Jason Segel, according to OK magazine.
Tom Cruise's ex-wife and the "How I Met Your Mother" star met when Holmes appeared on the show in 2011 and have apparently reconnected recently.
Reps for both stars are denying they are dating.
We'll report it anyway. We're like that.
If it's true, it might mean Segel has a thing for "Dawson's Creek." He dated Holmes castmate from the show, Michelle Williams, for a year before splitting up in February 2013.
The only person Holmes has been linked with since her divorce from Cruise was Jamie Foxx, which was likely a rumor.

Here are some steps Contra Costa Health Services recommends be taken after safety sirens or other warnings are issued when a fire at a refinery is burning. They say that in the case of a chemical accident it is safer to be indoors than outside: -- Go inside your home or the nearest building
-- Bring in pets, if possible
-- Close doors and windows
-- Use window and door locks to create a better seal
-- Make sure your vents and fireplace flue are closed
-- Turn off heating, fans and air conditioning.
-- Avoid using the telephone unless you have a life-threatening emergency.
For more information, the county recommends turning on local radio or television news stations.

5 free things: Hanoi is full of life and charm
|This March 8, 2011 file photo shows many people around Hoan Kiem lake in downtown in Hanoi Capital, Vietnam to see a rare turtle that is sacred to the nation. The lake is the centerpiece of central Hanoi. Its shady banks are a meeting place for young teenagers chatting on mobile phones alongside aging war veterans playing chess. Early in the morning, the lake comes alive with crowds of Vietnamese doing an array of exercises, ranging from serene tai chi to booming aerobics. Take a walk around the water and look for the famous turtle that many Vietnamese believe is sacred. (AP Photo/Tran Van Minh, file)
But look beyond the sea of roaring engines and beeping horns and a land of old-world Asian charm awaits, with wide tree-lined streets shading old French colonial-style villas.
Vietnam remains very cheap by Western standards, so it's possible to grab a big steaming bowl of pho — a brothy, aromatic beef or chicken noodle soup that serves as the country's staple dish — off a sidewalk cauldron for the price of a cup of coffee.
Still, in a city dotted with sleepy lakes and Buddhist temples where much of life is lived on the street, some of the best experiences truly are free. Here's five picks:
The lake is the centerpiece of central Hanoi. Its shady banks are a meeting place for young teenagers chatting on mobile phones alongside aging war veterans playing chess. Early in the morning, the lake comes alive with crowds of Vietnamese doing an array of exercises, ranging from serene tai chi to booming aerobics. Take a walk around the water and look for the famous turtle that many Vietnamese believe is sacred. If you spot it surface, make a wish because it's considered good luck!
The embalmed body of Uncle Ho, as Vietnamese affectionately call their late founding president Ho Chi Minh, can be viewed inside an enormous granite mausoleum. For many Vietnamese, the trip to Hanoi to see the famous revolutionary who liberated them from French colonial rule is considered a must-do. The mausoleum offers regular changing of the guard ceremonies, but is only open during certain hours and days. Proper dress and a respectful attitude are required. Cameras are not allowed inside.
The 36 ancient streets that make up Hanoi's Old Quarter are a maze of madness filled with treasures. The streets are narrow and so are the houses, but that doesn't stop the constant crush of motorbikes and the increasing number of cars mixing with bicycles, tourists and rickshaws known as cyclos. Despite the chaos, the Old Quarter should not be missed. Its lanes are overflowing with everything from touristy trinkets to fine silks, along with the wares for which each street is named. Locals still go there to buy everything from bamboo to buttons. Tuck into a small traditional market within the Old Quarter or a big one, such as Dong Xuan, for another colorful glimpse of daily Vietnamese life and foods.
Hanoi is packed with beautiful Buddhist temples, many of them ancient. Just follow the scent of burning incense and step away from the chaotic streets to take a moment to reflect and soak in the calm. The One Pillar Pagoda is among the city's most famous sites, but many Vietnamese flock to the Tay Ho Pagoda overlooking the city's large West Lake to leave offerings and pray, especially on auspicious days. Another option is to visit St. Joseph's Cathedral or attend a mass inside the landmark neo-gothic Roman Catholic church with its weathered facade and stained glass windows.
Close your eyes on many wide, leafy streets in Hanoi, and it's easy to be transported to another century. A short walk from Hoan Kiem Lake stands the French-built grand Hanoi Opera House, which has been beautifully restored and is a favorite spot for young brides and grooms posing for wedding pictures. Just across the street is the landmark Sofitel Metropole Hotel — where Graham Greene penned parts of his famous novel, "The Quiet American" — and the nearby Government Guest House, both great examples of French colonial-style architecture full of history. The stately Presidential Palace near Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum is another popular site.

Hello there!
I got a little issue with ps3 media server. Is not a big deal tou, I think it must be an option wich I can´t find. Well, here it goes:
I don't have a pendrive (damn thiefs) So, I use pms to make a lan conection with the ps3 and download the archives from the computer to the ps3 to save them, not to encode them. So, I normally go into the folder, press triangle and choose copy. At first it goes smoothly, but, I begin to notice that the folder size is like 3 GB, But the download goes like 6 GB, so I cancel it. When I go to the folder I just download, I find some sort of mirrors of the files, with names like "No encode" "Encoder", wich doubles the folder size. How can I prevent this?

New leader, new mission at Twentynine Palms
Marines scale back counterinsurgency training, ramp up conventional warfare
The Marine Corps' premiere combat training center is getting a new commanding general next month, just as the service introduces a pre-deployment exercise for the post-Afghanistan era.
Brig. Gen. George Smith Jr., head of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center and training command at Twentynine Palms, is relinquishing his post Jan. 11 to Maj. Gen. David Berger.
Berger just finished his tour as commanding general of 1st Marine Division (Forward) headquartered at Camp Leatherneck, where he ran Marine ground combat operations in southwestern Afghanistan.
Smith, who took command of the Twentynine Palms Marine combat center in 2011, oversaw major infrastructure upgrades at the base. He also helped usher in a new combat exercise that begins next month for battalions and squadrons preparing to deploy overseas.
For units not deploying to Afghanistan, the Integrated Training Exercise replacing Enhanced Mojave Viper scales back counterinsurgency operations in favor of more conventional warfare maneuvers, such as tank battles and artillery attacks.
The Corps is rebalancing training to plan for a wider range of conflicts than the desert wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, including expeditionary battles where troops must support themselves as they move across terrain, and sea-based operations.
"This training will bring us back to general, or conventional, war-oriented training while retaining the lessons learned from the present conflicts," the Marine Corps announced.
"Our central training challenge is to find the 'sweet spot' between the high (combined arms) and low (COIN/stability operations) ends of the range of military operations."
The change is part of a broader push by Training and Education Command to prepare Marines for the next war while incorporating knowledge acquired during more than a decade of sustained combat.
The new training program at Twentynine Palms has its roots in the Combined Arms Exercise dating from 1975, which focused on large-scale battles involving brigades and battalions of Marines moving on foot and in vehicles.
That exercise was revised and scaled back in 2004 with an eye toward occupation duties in Iraq instead of fast-moving invasions.
Its replacement, Mojave Viper, was a monthlong exercise adding security and stability operations training formerly conducted at March Air Reserve Base. The "enhanced" version introduced in 2009 boosted counterinsurgency operations, such as interactions with civilians and tribal leaders in mock cities and villages.
Enhanced Mojave Viper brought together as many as 5,000 ground combat, logistics and air wing Marines training with live-fire small arms, artillery, mortars and bombing runs.
In the past some 1,000 role players posed as Iraqis or Afghans. Now Marines will act as local personnel during urban operations, while more geographically specific training continues at the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning, at Quantico, Va., the Corps said.
The outgoing exercise, which had its last run in September, helped prepare the Marines to fight and win in Afghanistan and "any future contingency operation," Col. Kip J. Haskell, commanding officer of Tactical Training Exercise Control Group, said in a release.
The new regimen, called ITX, includes 129 events integrating ground, logistics and air operations. Infantry battalions are expected to rotate through the training every two years.
Twentynine Palms will continue to host the Corps' most extensive combat training. "This is the best training venue where combined arms training, in a full-spectrum environment, can be performed," Haskell said.
The combat center received the Commander-In-Chief's Installation Excellence Award in 2012 for the third year running, a first for a Marine installation. Smith's leadership was integral to modernization of the base, including construction or renovation of five barracks buildings, a new family housing neighborhood, and recreational and family centers for the base's 28,000 full-time personnel, the Marines said.
Smith is deploying to Afghanistan to serve as deputy commander of the incoming 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force in Helmand province.
Under Berger's leadership, the infrastructure overhaul and expansion of renewable energy projects will continue, the Corps said.
The Twentynine Palms base, located about 175 miles northeast of San Diego, is more than 900 square miles, the largest in the Corps. Last year, it opened a new mock city with more than 1,500 buildings in a space the size of downtown San Diego.
The Marine Corps hopes to expand the base by two-thirds in coming years to allow for larger live-fire exercises with an expeditionary brigade of perhaps 15,000 Marines.
Off-road enthusiasts have criticized the proposed move into Johnson Valley, on land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. A decision by the Navy Department expected in September was delayed to allow time to review more than 1,000 comments on an environmental impact report, many highly opposed.

This rainy-day activity is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Zina Harrington. Keep the light of curiosity alive!
Goop. Gak. Flubber. Call it what you wish. This slimy, stretchy, science recipe is ideal for experimenting on a rainy day. When there's a lull in the action, introduce these ideas one at a time.
- Invite Roy G. Biv to play. Goop is great in its traditional white format, but color makes life more interesting. Grab the food dye and let the kids experiment with color. Tip: If you haven't already, you might want to grab a smock at this point!
- Snip, snip, snip. Put your pointer finger to your chin and say, "I wonder," pause for dramatic affect, and then hand your child a pair of child-safe scissors.
- Make it artistic. Pull out the crayons, colored pencils and markers and experiment. See which items show up on the goop and which do not.
Tip: Use water-soluble markers for easy hand cleanup.
- Grab your Melissa & Doug Shape, Model & Mold clay play set! The wooden rolling pins, unique patterns and stamping cubes are great with clay, but even more fun with goop.
- Pull out the plastic cookie cutters. Watch your children entertain themselves as they cut out shapes of animals, letters, numbers and shapes.
See these tips in action:
Bonus Tip: In experimenting we discovered that goop can be really loud. Yes, loud! Pop on over to Let's Lasso the Moon for directions on how to get giggles like this out of your little one.
Have you made Goop with your child? Do you have additional suggestions or ideas? Let's chat in the comments!
Zina is a Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador and the author of Let's Lasso the Moon, where she inspires parents and children to keep the light of curiosity burning. Let's Lasso the Moon features a collection of activities that help parents interact creatively with their children and enjoy the beauty of everyday moments. Currently Zina splits her weekdays Clark Kent-style: Mornings are spent innocuously working on creative photography projects, reserving library books and sharing ideas on Let's Lasso the Moon; afternoons are spent as the everyday superhero–Mom. Visit Zina today at her blog LetsLassoTheMoon.com, say "Hi" to her on Facebook and don't miss her amazing Pinterest boards!

Roger in fourth round
Roger defeated Marat Safin 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to register his 51st grass court win in a row and will now face experienced German Tommy Haas, who put out Russia's Dmitry Tursunov, for a quarter-final spot.
"I don't know if I played phenomenal, I just think I played the right way against Marat today," said Roger. "I really kept the balls in play, served well when I had to, moved well, returned pretty good."
The world number one broke in the fourth game of the first set and a combination of some over-hitting on the groundstrokes by Safin and some tricky changes of speed by Roger allowed the him to steam to a convincing lead. Safin fought back early in the second and even broke serve. But the defending champion seemed unperturbed. He broke back immediately and again in the seventh game, prompting some characteristic racket-throwing from the volatile Russian before Roger nailed the set with an ace. The third set went with serve and in the tiebreak Safin's forehand volley into the net gave Roger a mini-break and he served out the remainder to take it 7-4.
"I was very pleased with the performance because I knew the danger against Marat," concluded Roger.
Just wanted to make a note on ESPN commentator Luke Jensen who yesterday b

No one would dare say to me "pick up those socks and underwear, you pig." I let them lay there until the drawer with the clean stuff is empty and then I wash the clothes. I mix the whites with the colors, and if someone stares me down in the public laundry, I say, "What are you looking at?"
I love to cook and if the package has 16 to 20 wings, six pork chops or 22 ounces of London broil, I cook it all and eat as much as I please. I'll simmer a large can of hickory smoked baked beans and call it "vegetables for a week."
I fall asleep to the TV, on the couch, sometimes with my ski boots on, and dare someone say to me, "Are you coming to bed?"
I don't have to call anyone to say, "I'm not coming home tonight."
I don't eat breakfast. Drinking water is not part of hydrating, but coffee and beers are. I oversalt my food. No one yells, "You left the cap off the toothpaste again." I will run out the door only if I'm late for a tee time.
In other words, because of my singular freedom, there's not a whole lot holding me back or down. So why do I come home some days and want to kick the dog? (Just an expression. I don't have a dog.)
After many years of self analysis, I've come to the conclusion, and I'm absolutely positive, maybe, I think, it's because I don't have anyone steering me in a different direction.
Although many of my friends live their lives vicariously through me, I must make a half-hearted attempt to explain that being single is not all that it's perceived to be. Allow me to rattle off a few examples looking in from the other side.
I get real tired of having conversations with myself all the time. As interesting as I am, I find myself impossible to agree with. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to have someone tell me just that.
Eating more than you should isn't exactly a privilege. It can be considered a curse. There is no way that a half-gallon of rocky road ice cream with chunks of Heath pieces and Hershey chocolate sauce should be gone in two days if only one person knows it's there. Someone should be around to slap you in the face after that.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't mind if that person also took me to task and said, "Eat your damn vegetables and try a salad once in awhile. It'll keep you regular." Not to mention she could cook for me once or twice a month. That could be special.
I am so tired of going to parties, shopping, skiing, hiking, debates, church and Thanksgiving by myself. I wonder sometimes if a rent-a-mate is in my future. That, or get a dog.
If someone said, "Have a piece of toast with your coffee," I probably would say, "OK."
Anyone out there know what it's like to fall asleep to the TV and wake up with a plate of pasta turned over on your chest? Not good. Maybe, just maybe, I yearn for someone to say, "Turn off the TV, rinse your plate, brush your teeth, take off your golf shoes, and come to bed. And don't make me come back out here."
As far as "not coming home tonight," that is not a freedom. That means you fell asleep somewhere other than your own bed, and there is nothing good about that. You wake up the next day and have a kink in your neck or an ache in your head, or both.
So basically this is what it comes down to. If you're single do whatever you want, by yourself, and get used it. If you have a partner, tolerate the person who doesn't let you do anything by yourself, and get used to it."
On a day-to-day basis, I'm never too sure what I want.
See what I mean? It's hard to be me.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop
Parkinson's disease
with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors include:
Most people develop Parkinson's disease after the age of 50 (age of onset ranges from 35-85). It is relatively unusual to develop Parkinson's disease before the age of 40, although it is certainly possible.
Men are about 1.5 times more likely than women to develop Parkinson's disease.
Genetic Factors
A number of genes have been associated with Parkinson's disease. Generally, people with these abnormal genes develop Parkinson's disease before the age of 50. This type of Parkinson's tends to run in families. However, the vast majority of Parkinson's disease occurs in older individuals (over the age of 60), and the role of genetics in these individuals is less clear.
Ethnic Background
Research suggests that blacks and Asians have a slightly lower rate of Parkinson's disease than whites.
Environmental Factors
Exposure to chemicals, such as herbicides and pesticides, is thought to increase your risk of developing Parkinson's disease. You also have a greater risk of Parkinson's disease if you live in a rural area, drink well water, or live on a farm. This may be due to an increased exposure to herbicides and pesticides. People who smoke tobacco or ingest caffeine may have a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
Other Health Conditions
You may have a higher risk of Parkinson's disease if you had certain health conditions, such as:

2008;255(suppl 5):18-32.

The ethos behind Solé bicycles is: simple, sustainable, stylish, and of course, affordable. The brand was founded by schoolmates Jonathan Shriftman and Jake Medwell while they were still at USC. Enamored of the simplicity and coolness of fixed-gear cycles, but turned off by their often exorbitant prices, the duo set about contacting manufacturers, with the idea of making a bike that was more reasonably priced but maintained all of the cool of their favorite models. The result was Solé, which sold out of its first 200 unit run by word of mouth only — before its Web site was even operational. The cycles come in vivid colorways for maximum visual appeal, but as the founders put it, "Our bikes are about recognizing the essentials and usability."

Introducing the app.json Application Manifest
May 22, 2014 by Balan Subramanian
Developers want to spend less time setting up applications and start working with the code sooner. Setting up applications is error-prone, time consuming and interruptive to the development flow. Often, there are several steps to go from your code or other samples and templates that you find in repositories online, to a running application that you can continue to work on.
Today, we are excited to introduce the
app.json manifest.
app.json enables developers to define their applications' details, setup configurations and runtime environments in a structured way. Instead of providing step-by-step instructions, you can now add
app.json files to your applications' source code. You and other developers can then easily deploy the source code into fully configured apps on Heroku, ready for further development.
The new
app-setups endpoint in the Heroku Platform API leverages
app.json to make setting up of complex applications as simple as a single API call.
app-setups orchestrates the different steps involved in getting an application deployed and running, freeing up developers everywhere to quickly start working on the code in a fully configured application environment.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's soccer team has added a trio of transfers to its incoming class for the 2013 season, head coach Shanna Caldwell announced today. Rachel Keeley (Aberdeen, Md./Harford CC), Jenny Hwang (Manchester, Conn./Univ. of Bridgeport) and Aulona Velaj (Stamford, Conn./University of Bridgeport) will join Islanders Soccer in its debut campaign this fall.
"Rachel, Jenny and Aulona are three players who aren't just skilled, but have experience at the college level," Caldwell said. "With a predominantly younger squad coming in, they will bring leadership to the program both on and off the field. Additionally, being East Coast players, they possess a more physical style of play as well as a 'take no prisoners' attitude."
Keeley is a 5-foot-5 defender who helped Harford to Maryland JUCO titles in both 2011 and 2012. In her freshman campaign, she scored three goals with eight assists from her left back position, including a tally against Scottsdale in the national tournament. She followed that up with three goals and three assists as a sophomore while playing center back, and was a first team all-conference selection for her efforts defensively. She played for Matt Roberts at Aberdeen High School in addition to playing club ball for Greg Paynter with Baltimore Bays Chelsea. She will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Islanders.
"Rachel is a very tough player with a fierce determination and competitiveness," Caldwell said. "She is not afraid to get stuck in on a tackle, and she should serve as a good leader both on and off the field."
Hwang missed the 2012 season due to injury, and will have three years of eligibility remaining when she comes to the Island University. As a freshman, the midfielder played in 17 games, posting a goal and two assists in helping Bridgeport to an undefeated 16-0-2 season. She also picked up rookie of the week honors in her first week for the Purple Knights. She played four years in high school for Jon Cohn at Manchester High School with Islanders assistant coach Lauren Molinaro serving as an assistant on the staff for two of those years. Additionally, she represented Region I for the Olympic Development Program in 2007 for the international tournament.
"Jenny is a natural leader with a lot of charisma, and should help foster a positive, enthusiastic team culture," Caldwell said. "She's a hardworking player with experience at the college level, and we're excited to have her."
Velaj will join the Islanders after two years as Hwang's teammate at Bridgeport. The midfielder played in 13 games for the Purple Knights in 2012, posting a goal and an assist on the season. She appeared 11 times in 2011, scoring a goal, and was a member of the Dean's List her first year on campus. Velaj played for Westhill High School under Dave Flower in addition to a club career for Connecticut FC, where she was the MVP in 2007, 2008 and 2009. She was born in Kosovo, and was invited to play for the Albanian National Team in 2012 and 2013.
"Another hardworking player from the East Coast, Aulona is talented in 1-v-1 situations," Caldwell said. "Isolated on the outside, she has the potential to be very dangerous, and that will make her an asset offensively."
The trio will join the 19 players who have already signed on to join the 2013 class, including 18 February signees and freshman Meghan Cordero, who enrolled at the Island University prior to the 2013 spring semester. For all the latest on Islanders Soccer, be sure to follow the team on Twitter (@IslandersSoccer) and Facebook (Islanders Soccer).

New UA president's pay package worth up to $652,000
Published: Monday, September 10, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 11:36 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM | Guy Bailey received a substantial pay raise to leave Texas Tech University and become president at the University of Alabama, but his salary and incentives package worth as much as $652,000 annually still isn't in the same league as Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban's.
Bailey began work last week as president. The campus has about 32,000 students. The university, responding Friday to an open records request by The Associated Press, said Bailey's annual salary will be $535,000.
The Alabama native and two-time UA graduate will be eligible for a perform-ance incentive of $105,000 a year based on meeting certain goals, but university system spokeswoman Kellee Reinhart said those benchmarks have not been established. "That is something he will do with (Chancellor Robert) Witt," she said.
Bailey will receive an automobile allowance of $12,000 annually, plus a benefits program that includes insurance for medical, dental, vision and disability needs, plus life insurance. Reinhart said the value of the benefits package wasn't available. Bailey also gets to live in the President's Mansion, a three-story Greek Revival structure that dates to before the Civil War.
The package is larger than what Bailey earned as president at Texas Tech. He made $574,637 last year in salary, benefits and deferred compensation.
It's still only a fraction of what Saban earns as football coach.
Saban, whose team is ranked No. 1 nationally and won national titles two of the past three years, earns as much as $5.62 million annually under a two-year contract extension approved by trustees in March. Saban's salary is $245,000 a year; the rest is bonuses, fees for media appearances and other perks.
Bailey has said one of his main goals at Alabama is to bolster research. While he was at Texas Tech, the university's enrollment increased by about 14 percent, its graduation rate increased by 5 percentage points and its research spending grew 170 percent to almost $90 million.
Trustees hired Bailey in July to replace Witt, who left the job of president to become chancellor of the three-campus University of Alabama System.

Jeff Gluckman participated in AVODAH in 2007-2008 in Washington, D.C. He continues to work at his AVODAH placement organization, Metro TeenAIDS, as the evaluation and program development manager.
What motivated you to join the City Team?
After my year in AVODAH, I went from living with nine great people and being a part of a larger community to being on my own. I really missed creating programs for people I cared about, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to do it on a larger scale.
Had you been involved with the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership beforehand?
I just finished AVODAH in August and went to some of the alumni programming here in D.C. afterwards. I was part of the weekly Justice and Jewish Thought class, engaging with texts related to different topics in Jewish justice. It was informal peer-learning, and we traded off facilitating. It worked out really well; I got to meet a lot of great people from all sorts of places and create a mini-community of folks who are really engaged. I now have a good launching point to do future things.
What are your expectations for your year on the City Team?
I'm looking forward to doing broad outreach to places where we might not have reached out before. I know we've done a good job of engaging the alumni communities, but for other folks who may not have participated in programs with AVODAH or AJWS – who nonetheless are still really involved and have an active Jewish life and an active justice life – we are still looking to bring them into the community. I'm also looking forward to planning innovative programs that meet people's needs in terms of what they want to be doing with their time.
What are you working on right now with the City Team?
We are just getting started and doing one-to-one interviews with folks in D.C. who have leadership potential and are connected to other communities. We are talking to them about what kinds of things they might want to see in the city and how they might get involved. After that we'll start to plan some bigger events. There are a lot of great new ways the City Team can use our skills and connections to really broaden how folks tie together their Jewishness and their passion for justice. I think everyone on the D.C. team brings a lot of good experience and diversity to that quest.
What do you do when you're not at City Team meetings?
Professionally, I'm the evaluation and program development manager at a local HIV education and care organization called Metro TeenAIDS. That was my AVODAH placement and I stayed on in a different capacity. It's been great. I love being involved in direct service programming. We also take a step back and focus on identifying new needs for the communities that we work with and assess where our programs' strengths are and where they can be improved. In my spare time I spend a lot of time with my AVODAH community, having services, cooking and going to events.
How does Judaism play a role in your life?
I think Judaism gives me a framework that is really rich in history, mythology, theology and politics, to ground myself when I do my work. I feel like I can be much more productive in my social and political activism when I do it as a Jew. Working with Jewish history and texts and having a place of grounding and a community of support to sustain the work is fabulous.
