Mike Nash is a corporate vice president in charge of Windows client operating systems product management. Previously, he ran the security team that created the new security systems and features in XPSP2. Charles got a chance to spend some time with him recently to have a very candid conversation about Windows Vista and to learn about Windows Vista SP1 (What's in it? Will it contain lots of new features like XPSP2? Etc…). Of course, with Vista being out in the real world for several months, Charles wanted to get a sense of how the OS is doing in terms of adoption and, equally as interesting to an OS head, how are the new Vista subsystems doing (that is, is Vista proving to be as stable as we thought it was going to be, as secure? – the data from the Vista telemetry systems will answer these questions). So, sit back, relax and get and enjoy this Vista status report interview and learn a little bit about Vista SP1.
Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks Rory!
For those in Connect, the beta is now online (confusing links but you'll eventually find your English / other language install)

Yeah, I was dissapointed there too. Although Charles did emphasise that he'd see Mike again soon, so.. who knows.

Nice, because one guy has connection issues we all get low bit-rate videos.

Why call it a Release Candidate if you have no intention of actually releasing that version? It makes so sense.

There's a lot that is said through facial expressions, they're worth studying. I like having a video focused on the person being interviewed.
Well, unless it's a video of a marketer and then the only thing I learn is that the delivery dates aren't going to be met as they say "yes we'll have it to you on blah-blah date" and then scratch their nose.
I could literally feel my intelligence going down as Nash spoke. For those that have been waiting for SP1, keep waiting until SP2 comes out. Maybe by then these guys will get it. I'm thoroughly disappointed.
I've been recommending to my Enterprise (many 100,000+) customers to wait until SP1 before even considering upgrading considering all the problems. I will have to retract that recommendation. Nash even downplays this as nothing but a glorified Windows Update.
I'm probably one of the biggest Microsoft fanboys there is. The thought of owning an IPod makes my skin crawl. Nash sounds more like he's running for Mayor of Seattle rather than really trying to address issues (or even acknowledge that there are any issues for them to address). XP SP2 was beautiful. I never saw a blue-screen with SP2 that wasn't caused by hardware failure. With Vista, I see at least 1 a week.
The security guys went too far and they know it. Rather than admit it and fix it, they rather go down with a sinking ship saying "It was the right thing to do." If the purpose of this interview was to lower our expectations, mission accomplished.

INWOOD - Age wasn't an issue for 12-year-old Caleb Johnson last year when he first got the idea of organizing a youth rally, he just knew this was something God wanted him to do.
"I had been sitting with my family, talking a little bit and God impressed me make a difference by having a youth rally. So I went to church the next day, asked my friend to help and he immediately jump on. And it's really just kept growing from there," Johnson said.
After recruiting his good friend Durrell Hess, 13, to help put it all together things really began to happen.

A major youth rally was organized by Caleb Johnson (center), 12, and his friend Durrell Hess (left), 13. It was held Sunday evening at Musselman Middle School and was supported by more than 100 Martinsburg Seventh Day Adventist Church members, including youth pastor Steve Finney, right.
Martinsburg Seventh Day Adventist church officials and members began to take notice and believed the two young men would be able to reach their goal.
That dream came true Sunday evening, when Johnson and Hess - assisted by about 100 friends, church and family members - prepared to open the auditorium doors at Musselman Middle School for "Come Alive 2013 - Reckless: Living Radically for Christ."
About 75 volunteers were on hand to help direct traffic, hand out programs and assist folks in finding a seat, watching with pride as the two young organizers ran through a sound check as part of the event's final preparations.
Although the facility has several hundred seats, Johnson said he would be satisfied with whoever decided to participate - as long as the event made a difference in someone's life.
"It's always just been about drawing people in because everyone needs Jesus. But I really would like to fill the auditorium so we can reach as many people as possible," he said.
Recalling that Sunday when he'd first been approached about helping, Hess said he never doubted Johnson's sincerity or ability to successfully organize a large event.
"I was all for it too," Hess said without hesitation.
Youth Pastor Steve Finney said it's exciting to see young people take responsibility in the church.
"They have had the support of our church members, their families and some people in the community, but it was ultimately about their vision and determination to make this happen. I've been at this church about 10 years, and this is the first time we've had something this big. It's really awesome," Finney said.
"And it's all being run by these young men who are behind this project. Right from the beginning, Caleb started to come to me with all these unbelievable ideas," he said.
In the end, the program included praise songs, Jeff Dunn and band, a performance by comedian Nazareth, Ben Roy's Go Science and drawings for doorprizes.
Guest speaker Dwain Esmond, who works as an editor with the church's Review and Herald Publishing Association in Hagerstown, said it was an honor to have been invited to be part of the event.
"When Caleb came to me, I just couldn't refuse. It's just such a beautiful thing to see this kind of powerful outreach from young people - I just had to be a part of it," Esmond said.
"It's wonderful that youth are not jaded, they believe anything is possible and you see that with Caleb. This is a testament to his faith and dream," he said.
Outside, Ashley Rooney, 15, and Jade Draper, 15, were happily handing out programs as people began to enter the school.
Rooney, who attends school in Maryland, said she hoped word about the youth rally had spread to Hagerstown. "It's just a great opportunity for a bunch of youth there to find out about Christ," she said.
Looking proud, Draper said she wanted to help her cousin succeed in this important venture.
"But if you know Caleb, you know there's no doubt he's going to make this a success. And I agree it is important to reach out to the community and let them know more about God," Draper said.

She comes to town when the children sing
And leaves them feathers if they fall
We found this little guy on front steps the other day, the yellowest bird I have ever seen. He was so beautiful that I couldn't resist taking his photograph. He both fascinates me and makes my heart ache.
This is not the first bird I've found on my steps, but I have finally realised that they are hitting the glass fence which surrounds our garden. (Who designed this anyways!?) I need to research and find the best way to help stop birds from flying into glass... Decals? Do you have any experience with this sort of thing? Do you have any ideas? Please share.

Over the past few months, I have had many thoughts going around in my head. But, I decided to wait and see how things panned out at the World Championships before posting them to the forum.
When the news broke about Takahashi and Tran splitting, we found out all the ins-and-outs of the Japanese rules on dual-nationality. And suddenly, a story from womens ski jumping that had been puzzling me suddenly made sense.
Atsuka Tanaka was born and raised in Calgary to a Japanese family. Growing up, she represented Canada, but we saw her switch to Japan at the start of the current Olympic cycle. Unfortunately for Tanaka, a Japanese wonder-baby in the form of Sara Takanashi came along around the same time.
For those that dont follow ski-jumping, Takanashi has built up really impressive record in the past few years:
1st in the girls competition at the Youth Olympics in 2012;
1st in the Junior World Championships in both 2012 and 2013;
2nd in the (senior) World Championships in 2013;
2nd in the 2011/12 season-long World Cup;
1st in the 2012/13 season-long World Cup.
And she is still only 16!
Understandably, Takanashi has been getting all the attention of the Japanese team. So, Tanaka switched back to Canada at the end of the 2011/12 season. I couldnt understand why she would switch in the middle of an Olympic cycle, until I found out a couple of months ago about the dual-nationality rules in Japan. Tanaka turned 21 at the end of January, so this was the last chance she had to switch countries.
This started me thinking.
Over the years, we have seen lots of ice dancers and pairs skaters changing the country they are representing, so as to have a better chance of getting selected for major international events.
Normally, in these days of cross-border partnerships, it is just a case of switching to represent your partners country. But, sometimes, it is due to a legitimate family claim to an alternative nationality (by which I mean, you have at least one parent or one grandparent of that nationality). Cathy and Chris Reed would be a good example of this, having switched from the USA (American Dad) to Japan (Japanese Mum).
But, you dont seem to see singles skaters changing the country they are representing, even if they do have a legitimate family claim. I dont really understand why this doesnt happen much, as there are some skaters who are not getting selected by the country they are currently representing, who would be guaranteed a place if they used an alternative nationality.
Agnes Zawadzki is a perfect example of this. Now, most people would be able to work out from her surname that Agnes is of Polish descent. As it happens, she has more than just the one Polish grandparent that would entitle her to represent Poland.
I am just amazed that Agnes has not opted to switch to Poland, given how competitive it is to get into the American Ladies team. She would without doubt be guaranteed a place in the Polish team. After all, Poland has not entered anybody into international Ladies competitions since Anna Jurkiewicz in 2009. (I quite liked Anna, so I would like to know: what happened her? I looked at the Three Nationals results for the past few years there now, and saw that Anna hasnt competed in Polish Nationals since 2011. Is she injured? Has she retired? I cant seem to find out anywhere!)
The first male skater that comes to mind is Elladj Baldé. He is currently skating for Canada, where it is very competitive for places in the Mens team. Given that Patrick Chan and Kevin Reynolds have both won major competitions this year, that means that everybody else is realistically fighting over the 3rd slot. If you look at the results from Canadian Nationals, the guys that finished in 3rd (Rogozine), 4th (Baldé) and 5th (Firus) are all good enough to compete internationally, but they are all fighting over just one place.
Admittedly, Rogozine and Baldé were both born in Moscow, but it is even more competitive to get into the Russian team, so I can understand why they dont even try. But, although Baldés Mum is Russian, his Dad is Guinean. Nobody is currently representing Guinea in any category. So, I do not understand why Elladj and his team dont take advantage of this and have him compete internationally as a one-man Guinean team.
Which brings us perfectly onto the team I want to talk about: Russia
We all know how competitive it is to get a place in the Russian team for international competitions. Indeed, for most of this season, a lot of threads on this forum have turned into debates (or, should that be arguments ) about who was going to get a place in the Russian team in both of the singles categories.
After watching Russian Nationals, and seeing how competitive it is amongst the skaters that we dont get to see at international level, it started wondering:
Do any of the Russian singles skaters (male or female) have a legitimate family claim to an alternative nationality?
For example, do any of the skaters from St. Pertersburg by any chance have an Estonian or Finnish grandparent? I dont know too much about the demographic make-up of St. Petersburg, but due to the location of the city, I would expect it to have quite sizable communities from Finland or the Baltic States.
Yes, it was the situation with Alena Leonova that started me thinking about this. I would hate to see her international career end now, as she has so given so much in recent years, and I truly believe she has so much more to give. Lets face it, it was only last year that she was winning the silver medal at Worlds.
But, we have to be realistic: Alenas career representing Russia is over. There are just too many brilliant teenagers coming along. But it would be great if she was eligible to compete for another country.
Incidentally, as well as Alena, 2 of the other skaters that we have been discussing are also from St. Petersburg. So, might Nikol Gosviani or Konstantin Menshov have this option as a back-up plan?
We have already seen one Russian girl take herself out the equation. Last week, Moscows Polina Shelepen announced that she is to switch to competing for Israel. And she said that it was because of family connections.
So, does anybody know if any of the other Russian skaters have the option of an alternative nationality due to a legitimate family connection (i.e. at least one parent or one grandparent of that nationality)?
For the moment, I would like this discussion to stick to the Russian singles skaters, as that is the team that we have all been interested in and discussing all season.
Although the ski jumping example I started with concerned a girl of Oriental descent, I would prefer it if this did not turn into a discussion about the Oriental Diaspora just yet. Frankly, there are so many skaters of Japanese or Chinese descent competing for other countries that we would be talking about them from now until doomsday!
And anyway, it is already very competitive to get into the Japanese and Chinese teams. So I dont think the respective Federations would like us giving them an even bigger selection nightmare by adding any more good skaters into the mix!

July can't come quickly enough for the Postrion family.
Currently serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Bryan Miller is due home July 1. Miller, who joined the Air Force straight out of high school, has already completed three overseas tours: Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, and now a return trip to Afghanistan.
The Blue Star Flag on Sam Postrion's lapel is a silent testament to her son's service. It's a pin that will remain in place until his safe return.
"It's an honor to know that he is serving our country and protecting people he does not know. But it's heartbreaking having him away and having him away for such long periods," Sam said.
A member of the Military Police, SSgt. Miller was deployed in January. "I am assisting Coalition Forces and NATO with giving over the primary role for Security Forces to the Afghanis," he said via email. Stateside, he's a member of law enforcement at Dover Airforce Base.
He sees a lot of positive things being accomplished in Kandahar. "The U.S. has been in Afghanistan since October 2001. The NATO program that I assist with directly impacts the growth of the Afghanistan Government. Since I've been here, I've seen the Afghani Military operate as it's own military force and limit Taliban influence around the area."
He's proud of his fellow patriots, their mission dedication, and unequaled brotherhood. "The best thing about my comrades is knowing without any hesitation they will have my back with any issue big or small," he said.
Family and friends also have his back here at home.
"I want him to know that I am behind him 100 percent with whatever he does in life, and I will always be there for him. Most important is that I want him to know how proud I am to be his mom," Sam said.
Asked if it's difficult to leave one's family behind, Miller said. "I get asked this question often; leaving your family for 8 months at a time is the hardest thing you're faced with. Every second of the day, you think about your loved ones and when is the next time you will see them. Getting rocket attacked or engaged with small arms fire, you are prepared and trained for that problem. Being away from home, there is no briefing or field manual to help you overcome that sacrifice. I measure the 'is it worth it' by the sense of pride I get when I do my job and the people standing behind me."
Touching base with those back home helps ease the miles in between. "I try to Skype call every day, the time difference (8.5 hours) makes it hard, but technology is great! Facebook and Skype keep me in touch. Just the smallest conversation makes the hardest day easier."
"He always asks what's going on with us and around town, always checks to see how his Grandma is," said his mom. "We never end a conversation without me saying, 'I love you and miss you.'"
As to what he misses the most back home, Miller shared, "I miss my soon to be wife, going on a motorcycle ride with her, and my English bulldog Bailey."
SSgt. Miller is due to be wed to his soulmate, Felicia Shannon, September 6, 2013, just two months after his return.
Is he proud of this woman by his side? "I am most certainly proud of her. She is working a full-time job, she is a full-time student (going for her dental hygiene degree), and also planning a wedding. The thing I love the most about her is her smile, and she never ceases to amaze me."
English writer G.K. Chesterton once wrote: "The true Soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
Asked his take on that poem, Miller replied, "I most certainly agree with this poem. I have no hatred towards the enemy. I'm in Afghanistan now to protect the rights of my family and friends. It doesn't matter if you live in Idaho or in the Helmand Providence of Southern Afghanistan. Our enemy believes in a cause and so do we. They are just willing to kill innocent people for that cause."
Asked if he believes in what he is doing, Miller replied, "This is a hard question for active duty military members to answer. Everyone has their own beliefs about what they are doing over here. Most of us keep those beliefs to ourselves, reason being is we don't want to undermine our leaders appointed over us or our Government."
It's an answer that may well be laced with the loss of friends. "I live in a 10 x 15 room with a roommate. My day starts about 6:00 AM every morning with a little organized physical fitness. I report into work by 7:30 AM. I work Monday through Thursday (to include Saturdays) 7:30 to 6:00pm. Friday and Sunday are my half days; I have a report time of 12:00 to 6:00 PM. The unbearable moments are so sporadic that they sneak up on you. For example, every day I walk by the base headquarters building and see the flag pole. Most of my unbearable moments come when I look up to that flag and see it is half mast (fallen comrade(s)). Keeping my military bearing, I render a salute and keep pressing towards my work compound."
What does he want people back home to know? SSgt Miller replied, "Support the troops. Without Americans supporting the Armed Forces our mission is irrelevant."
Note: Sam Postrion works at the Front Desk and Reservation Department at Woodloch Pines Resort.

Upcoming improvements to the ride on the No. 5 Metro Bus along Niagara Street sound enticing.
Gone will be the stop-start-stop-start experience. In its place will be a smoother and faster ride along one of the system's busiest routes. And it will be thanks to the ability of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to obtain federal grant money to cover most of the $4.5 million cost of developing a "high-quality transit corridor," from City Hall at Niagara Square to the intersection of Niagara and Ontario streets.
In addition to the 80 percent funding the authority obtained from competitive federal grants, New York State will pay for 10 percent of the project. That leaves the NFTA paying the other 10 percent.
One of the biggest pieces of this transformation has to be its enviable traffic signal synchronization. As reported, when a Metro bus on the new No. 5 route approaches an intersection, it will electronically send a signal to extend a green light. That will allow Metro to be able to develop faster runs and increase the chances of being on schedule.
Synchronized traffic signals in the city. Imagine that. But there's more.
The move into the 21st century also includes bus shelters, some even with heaters and several with electronic signs indicating the arrival time of the next bus; a neighborhood transit center with a park-and-ride lot and bus holding spaces where Route No. 5 intersects with several other major transit lines, and the purchase of five new buses powered by compressed natural gas.
The NFTA made a commitment to energy efficiency years ago by purchasing several hybrid buses. The system now has 94 hybrids out of 300 buses. Good to see that it is going further along that road with a study of enhanced, solar-powered shelters along Niagara Street at the intersections of Carolina, Hudson, Ferry and Delavan, although there are no definite plans yet.
The transit center is set tentatively for somewhere in the Riverside neighborhood serving Routes 3, 5, 23, 32, 35 and 40. Public input in the design phase will soon begin.
New shelters, new buses, a transit center and traffic signal prioritization are estimated to be complete by March 2015.
Solar-powered shelters, synchronized traffic lights to reduce bus idling and lower emissions from cleaner-burning vehicles are all encouraging steps and good news for the neighborhoods along bus routes.
These changes are designed to make commuting by bus less of a chore. That should entice new riders to the system, and increase satisfaction among current riders. In addition, the increased energy efficiency of the system should attract those looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to commuting by car, one person per vehicle.

I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here - thanks so much for these incredible articles! They are so detailed and so full of quotes from so many skaters! Very enjoyable to read. I'm heart broken for some of the skaters in various disciplines but it is really interesting and almost reassuring to hear/read them postmortem their skates and prepare for the next ones.
It's always great to get such detailed descriptions of the event. Thanks to the reporter!
I felt good about my quad toe and then calculated if I should add the triple toe after it, explained the 26-year-old (Daisuke). It could be better in order to get a higher score. That is what caused my mistake on the triple toe. I should not have been thinking like that. I am not happy about it, but my overall performance was quite good. I am satisfied that I was able to include a quad toe in my short program.
Did he mean 4T3T + 3Lz will score higher than 4T + 3Lz3T? Is that true?
Last edited by skatinginbc; 03-30-2012 at 10:54 PM.
In Takahashi's case today, since his 3T was the problem jump, it would have cost him less negative GOE value as part of the 3Lz combo than the quad combo because GOE value for 3Lz and 3Lz combo is lower. I don't understand why he thought the 3T well executed would be worth more as part of the quad combo.
May be Dai talk about that it is what he think at the moment (which is wrong)?
Or may be he think it will give better impact to the judges?
Thanks for the great article! It's so frustrating to read AP and Reuters articles about niche sports because they are always so full of inaccuracies.
To skatinginbc, Skate Figuring and treeloving,
Right after his performace, he told to the Japanese media as follow:
"When I landed his quad toe, I instantly knew the landing was not perfect. I had to make a choice upon landing, whether to tack a risky 3T or safer 2T to avoid negative GEO, or rather add a perfect 3T to my later jump which was 3Lz.
Then I thought to myself, with a fraction of a second, that without landing 4-3 combo in SP successfully, I had no chance for winning (against others), so I decided to go for it."
But he also admitted to the media it was a wrong decision to make, considering the landing of the quad was not perfect. That is why he said, "I am not happy about it."
So, I agree with treeloving.
If Dai could have hitted 4T-3T, 3A and 3Lz perfectly, the audience would have gone crazy, so that it would give better impact to the judges and raise his PCS even higher.
I understand, as some of you saying, that if he could have gone for a safer rout; 4T, 3A and 3Lz+3T, he could have scored almost on par with (or over) Patrick.
However, I liked he did not hesitate for going for 4-3. That's is very typical of Dai we knew all along and whom I love. If he wants to win, he will go all for it. He never takes a conservative strategy. Though it turend out a wrong decision to make, I am happy that Dai went for it and he seems to take its resposibility fully to himself (admitting it is his mistake).
^ deedee1, you (and Dai) are explaining things to Evan's mentality. I admire your patience.
Now, compare it to Chan's:I had to make a choice upon landing, whether to tack a risky 3T or safer 2T to avoid negative GEO, or rather add a perfect 3T to my later jump which was 3Lz. Then I thought to myself, with a fraction of a second, that without landing 4-3 combo in SP successfully, I had no chance for winning (against others), so I decided to go for it.
It tells me something wrong with Dai's training. Chan was so trained that he simply relied on what he has been doing in the daily practice. Dai was not trained for all possible scenarios so that he had to make a critical decision in a fraction of a second. If he had to think through so many things in just a fraction of a second, how could he expect himself to focus his mental and physical energy on the second jump of the combo?Sometimes the jump is not perfect or I am too close to the boards, so I have to resort to a triple Lutz-triple toe. If it happens as quickly as it did today, I dont even have to think about it, its automatic.
Thinking too much is Dai's biggest enemy. He should simply rely on his daily practice.

Thank you very much for your kind words.
Speaking of skaters dissecting their performances post factum, I stand in awe of Carolina Kostner for her ability to come up with something meaningful to say every time, even though she has been through this song-and-dance for more than a decade.
Her comment about crowd in Nice being so loud that she felt it were Torino Olympics all over again, really stayed with me. In part because she has indeed re-written her history, taking a nightmarish memory and turning it into a victory, which is a beautiful story in on its own right, but more so because it seems to indicate that even 6 years later that failure still weights heavily on her and is on the forefront of her mind. It makes me very sad, given how much she has developed as a skater in that period of time.

Plan your skate, skate your plan. I think that is good advice for 99% of skaters 99% of the time. Many times we see skaters trying to improvise later elements to make up for earlier mistakes, and it backfires more often than not.Originally Posted by skatinginbc
Chan, though, says "I can put a triple toe at the end of anything." If that is the case, then he has more leeway than anyone else. If his 4T+3T doesn't work out, he's got the 3Lz+3T in his back pocket.
In the LP, though, a teensy bit of indecision did cost him. On his 3Lz+half-loop+3S, he said later that the landing on the first jump wasn't all he had hoped for, so he got caught between going for the 3S anyway or scaling back to a 2S. He went for the 2S but his training gave him too much height for the lesser revolutions and the whole element went south.
Michelle Kwan used to practice two different endings for her program, one in case she hit her triple-triple, the other if she missed it.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Autism Speaks today said it awarded a $2 million grant to its nonprofit venture philanthropy affiliate Delivering Scientific Innovation for Autism (DELSIA) to partner with Seaside Therapeutics in discovering biomarkers toward development of new personalized treatments of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The partnership aims to find genetic and protein biomarkers for use in identifying patients most likely to benefit from arbaclofen (STX209), the most advanced program in the autism clinical pipeline, with potential to deliver the first medical therapy for a core symptom of autism.
"The broad heterogeneity of ASD suggests that optimal treatment will need to be personalized," Randy Carpenter, CEO of Seaside Therapeutics, said in a statement.
Arbaclofen is an oral selective gamma-amino butyric acid type B (GABA-B) receptor agonist designed to improve social and communication functions in autism and Fragile X syndrome.
In June, Seaside entered into an alliance with Roche to expand its efforts at developing treatments for Fragile X syndrome and ASD. Seaside agreed to license exclusively to Roche patents covering the use of mGluR5 antagonists for neurodevelopmental disorders, in return for Roche leading development and commercialization of the compounds for the treatment of FXS and ASD. Seaside also agreed to continue clinical development of STX209, but allowed Roche to hold options to commercialize the drug candidate upon completion of undisclosed clinical development phases in FXS and ASD.
Established in October, DELSIA works with for-profit partners to fund development activities intended to deliver treatments for the autism community's unmet medical and behavioral health needs.

Its wide open. Did you pick what this truck is gonna be? Mt,racer,basher,on road, sand rail, etc...?
If I am buying a stock roller, I want to keep as many parts stock, to achieve the initial goal. If I am going hog wild on a build, I will skip the roller, and just buy hop ups, and exactly what parts I need. I built a hog wild bandit up from a roller, and in the end, not 1 part of the original roller was left = wasted money on roller.
If you have the exact vision of what its gonna be, get the most expensive stuff first, that way the end of the build is accelerated. I would expect the most expensive parts would be the electronics.

"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour," reads an official statement from Kensington Palace. "The Duchess traveled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
With Prince William by her side, Kate was already in labor when she was admitted to the hospital just before 6 a.m. in London. The palace has also said her labor is progressing normally.
Shortly after they arrived, a loud clap of thunder was heard over west London.
Since her last official appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during a June 15 ceremony, Kate, 31, has been "winding down," as a royal source put it. William, also 31, has been on leave from his job as a Royal Air Force helicopter search and rescue pilot.
She's been seen browsing antique stores, quietly nesting at home, visiting her parents in Bucklebury, about 55 miles west of London, and conserving her energy. "She's been looking after herself – she just needs to make sure she's okay," a friend tells PEOPLE.
On Saturday, PEOPLE confirmed she and William were at home in Kensington Palace, waiting out the final hours of her pregnancy.
The statement announcing her hospital arrival was the first that Palace officials said they would provide. Once the baby is born, a notice will be posted on a wooden easel just inside Buckingham Palace railings, followed moments later by an electronic message to the media and the world.
Kate is being attended by a team headed by the calm and experienced hands of royal gynecologist Marcus Setchell, 69, and Alan Farthing. There are also thought to be some anesthetists, midwives and nurses attending to Kate.
As for William and Kate, "They are terrifically excited," the friend tells PEOPLE.

The community of Tiffin University came to together Thursday evening to celebrate the life of Andrea Glenn, a former TU student who was a victim of homicide over the summer.
Thursday was a beautiful 74 degree, sunny day. Glenn would have turned 21.
Jess Corns, one of Glenn's closest friends, helped organize the event.
"Andrea was a fun-loving person," Corns said.
"She was optimist and carefree," she said.
The Legacy Courtyard on Tiffin University's campus was filled with people who knew and loved Glenn.
A video made by her closest friends highlighted the fun and silly side of Glenn.
"Andrea was one of the most down-to-earth, real individuals," said Malcom Keith Jr., another close friend of Glenn.
"She was a blessing to have," he said.
Glenn's life was remembered with a candlelight vigil and a prayer.
Other members of the audience were asked to share stories and memories of Glenn.
"Andrea was a pure jewel to know and a good friend. I will miss her," Elisha Owens said.
People were asked to write personal messages on a balloon to be released.
"Walking to class is normally a five-minute walk, but with Andrea it took about 20 minutes because she had to say 'hi' to everyone," Corns said.
"I used to complain then, but now there is nothing I wouldn't give to walk to class with her one more time," she said.
"Andrea was the type of person that always lit up a room," Keith said.
According to information provided by TU, Glenn was attending classes in the fall of 2011 in the school of criminal justice and social sciences program.
Glenn also was a member of TU's track and field team.
"Andrea kept me motivated and positive. She was the glue of the team," Corns said.

5 Ways You Don't Realize Movies Are Controlling Your Brain
#2. You Were Raised -- and Educated -- by Pop Culture
Quick quiz: If you get arrested by the cops, how many phone calls are you legally allowed?
One, right? "I want my one phone call" -- somewhere there's a suspect saying that exact phrase to his arresting officer. He may even insist that it's in the Constitution.
And this is when the cop has to explain that it's an urban legend, and that he'd already know that if he read Cracked. This criminal, and you, only believe the "one phone call" rule because you saw it in movies and cop shows.
In fact, pretty much everything you know about the criminal justice system came from actors on a glowing rectangular screen. Have you ever been called for jury duty? Did you sit through the morning training session where they have to carefully explain that real trials are not like TV shows?
That's why movies are so effective at shaping your personality: because you subconsciously assumed that large parts of these fictional stories weren't fiction. Sure, you knew True Lies was a silly Schwarzenegger action movie, and you knew that, in real life, nobody could really ramp a dirt bike off a Washington, DC, skyscraper. But you didn't know that the city doesn't even have skyscrapers at all. Even though the movie was fiction, you didn't doubt that part, because you had no reason to.
No, seriously, that's DC's flatass skyline. You can't ramp shit there.
Now take this one step further, and think about how many other aspects of your life you've only experienced via Hollywood. If you're from a rural area, how do you know what it's like to live in the city? Or vice versa? If you've never been to Paris, where does your mental image of it come from? Some of you reading this very article loved The Sopranos because its depiction of the mob was so much more "realistic" than all those stylized movies that came before it. How do you know it's more realistic? What are you comparing it to? All those real mobsters who come over at Thanksgiving?
The reality is that vast piles of facts that you have crammed into your brain basement were picked up from pop culture, and for the most part, you don't realize that's where the information came from. This is called source amnesia, and I've talked about it before -- you know that giraffes sleep standing up, but you've long forgotten whether you heard that fact in school or in a tour at the zoo, or saw it in a cartoon. Either way, you will treat that fact as true until something comes along to counter it -- this is the entire reason MythBusters is still on the air.
And why they have become rich by telling people shit that seems to require just basic common sense.
OK, so who cares if gas tanks don't really explode when you shoot them? So what if a lot of your interesting party trivia isn't accurate?
What, you don't think this same principle goes for the important stuff?
When you went on your first date, you had a picture in your mind of what that should look like -- how both of you should behave, what type of activities couples do together, which one of you should pay, etc. Where did that picture come from? Did you take a dating class in elementary school? Did your parents sit you down and tell you? Bullshit. You saw it in a TV show, or a cartoon, a solid decade before you were even old enough to drive.
"One day, I'll meet the right grotesquely muscled deliveryman and settle down to a life of kissing on top of washing machines."
If your parents were poor, where did you get your idea of how rich people live? Where did you get your concept of what success looks like -- how successful people dress, or what they drive, or how they decorate their apartment? Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood -- the only reason you've heard of Armani suits is because the 1980 movie American Gigolo launched the brand. The reason you think smoking is cool is because you've seen a thousand handsome, smooth leading men smoke cigarettes.
"Not me. My friends and I all dress and think alike out of sheer coincidence."
In other words, fictional stories shaped your entire world. You will instinctively reject this idea because you hate the thought that anyone but you has made you who you are. But every single point of data will prove you wrong.
"Bullshit! I just watch movies and TV shows for fun! It's escapism, it lets me turn off my brain and relax while things explode behind Samuel L. Jackson!"
Right, but why does that relax you? Why have you been trained to feel a release of stress when you see a bad guy explode? Why do you prefer that world over your own?
Let me put it another way. "Escapism" and "fantasy" are fun because they let us leave this boring old world and go to a world that we would prefer to live in. And we are defined as a people by those fantasies -- after all, we will spend our whole lives trying to make the real world look like the fantasy. Science fiction came first, space travel came later.
Of course, their original thoughts on the matter were pretty stupid, but you get the point.
Mythology still drives us, and defines us. Now stop and ask yourself who we've entrusted to write it for us.
Which brings us to the heart of this whole matter ...
#1. Everything in Your Brain Is a Story
Let me ask you this:
Why was it so easy to rally Americans around the idea of winning World War II, to the point that we were willing to ration and sacrifice and send an entire generation off to war, when it's so hard to get us worked up about other things like curing cancer or fixing global warming?
I'll come back to it in a moment.
So, knowing the history of stories and all that stuff I talked about above, it makes sense that our brains are built to try to process everything we see as a story. We want all of our information packaged this way -- it's the way data has been fed to us for the last thousand generations, it's how you've been absorbing it since the first time your parents read you a bedtime story. And every story needs to have two elements: a defined set of good guys and bad guys, and a neat structure with a beginning, middle and end.
"Can anyone tell me why they were telling the man to squeal like a pig? Anyone?"
The fact that we need everything fed to us like this, and have trouble getting interested in a situation without it, actually makes solving some problems almost impossible.
For instance, the answer to my question above is that we cared about World War II because it was a story: it had villains (Hitler and the rest), it had heroes (the Allies), it had a distinct beginning, middle and end. Cancer doesn't have any of that -- there's no one guy we can blame for cancer, and "winning the war" against it is actually a series of tiny incremental advancements that may never result in "victory." Global warming is even worse, because there it looks like the villain is us.
So as a society, our entire process for figuring out and solving problems involves clumsily trying to make a story out of them. When we follow a complicated subject like politics, we need that distinct hero and villain, so we'll ignore the shortcomings of our guy and amplify the shittiness of their guy, to make them fit that mold. When we hear about a war, it's almost impossible to think of it in terms of multiple factions all acting in self-interest -- we need one side we can root for, usually under the guise of the underdog young rebels overthrowing the evil old empire (i.e., the Arab Spring).
"Look, all I want to know is which side is Han Solo."
Likewise, we lose interest if our news story doesn't have a clear beginning, middle and end (in the biz they call this the "narrative bias"). Are American troops still in Afghanistan? How is that going? Do you even know? When's the last time you checked? We were all on board for the first act of the story (the 9/11 attacks) and the second act (the military goes in and deposes the Taliban), but then the third act (the troops come home to victory parades and everything is back to normal) never came. So, we just kind of forgot about it.
Now here's the key: This innate urge to shoehorn every single piece of information into a story format is very well known to the people who run political campaigns, or write advertisements, or cover news stories. So, when there is a crisis, they know you need a bad guy. No problem can simply be the result of a flawed system or a bunch of factors that are nobody's fault (or, God forbid, the result of anything we did -- we're just the audience!). No, there has to be a villain we can pin it on.
Tim Jorgenson of Grand Rapids, Michigan -- we're coming for you.
That's why, to this day, we're still trying to figure out who "caused" the economic collapse, as if we'll find a cabal of a dozen shady bankers in a room who made off with all our money, rather than a flawed system that millions of investors and consumers drove into the ditch because of a steadfast refusal to think five minutes into the future. Look at the last few wars again -- we can't get past the idea that terrorism will end if we just blow the shit out of the bad guys. Why? Because that's the way it works in the movies. In Star Wars, when the Emperor died, all evil died with him. The same with Sauron, and Voldemort. If we kill/imprison all the drug kingpins, the drugs will go away. Right? Guys?
You can find this in your personal life, too. If something goes wrong at the office, somebody has to get blamed. Everyone goes into ass-covering mode, because they know the bosses will need a villain in their story. When you take on some personal project (a new job, losing weight, whatever), you expect the same three-act structure that you'd see in a movie (see problem, take it on, experience your darkest moment, eventually triumph), and you get depressed when it doesn't happen (that "triumph" part often never shows up). Why are people always so obsessed with the apocalypse? Because every story has an ending, and the idea that the human "story" can just drag on forever, aimlessly, never progressing toward any particular goal, is just unimaginable. We can't process it.
The reality is, it will probably still look like this, long after we've been exterminated by the robots we designed to protect us.
And our expectations of what these real world stories look like, and how they should play out, are programmed into us by pop culture.
So, yes, for the fucking love of God, movies matter. TV shows matter. Novels matter. They shape the lens through which you see the world. The very fact that you don't think they matter, that even right now you're still resisting the idea, is what makes all of this so dangerous to you -- you watch movies so you can turn off your brain and let your guard down. But while your guard is down, you're letting them jack directly into that part of your brain that creates your mythology. If you think about it, it's an awesome responsibility on the part of the storyteller. And you're comfortable handing that responsibility over to Michael Bay.
It's just something to keep in mind, that's all.

(3BL Media/Justmeans) - President Obama would like to create more jobs for American workers. One way he is attempting to do that is by negotiating more free trade agreements. Apparently he didn't learn anything from Bill Clinton, who pushed through the disastrous NAFTA trade bill and several others like it.

The new video, released Monday morning, shows similar scenes to the film's first look as Nick (Ben Affleck) joins the national search for his wife – now interposed with eerie voiceovers from Amy's infamous diary.
"I will practice believing my husband loves me," she whispers. "But I could be wrong."
The trailer also gives a glimpse of the supporting stars Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry.
Fans who haven't read Gillian Flynn's 2012 thriller can get a head start on solving the murder with the movie's new posters, which offer clues as to who killed Amy (Rosamund Pike).
The four posters, published Sunday by Entertainment Weekly, display evidence bags filled with objects linked to Amy's disappearance: a photo, scalpel, red thong and threatening note torn from her diary.
They sure looks suspicious, but as lovers of the book know, not everything is as it seems during the spellbinding investigation.
"I did not kill my wife. I am not a murderer," Nick insisted in the film's haunting first trailer.

A Family Trial
After her parents' 1989 divorce, Kourtney's family becomes even more divided when her father, Robert, defends friend O.J. Simpson following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

After Kim's infamous sex tape with ex Ray J surfaces, the family remains a united front, weathering the media storm together. Producer Ryan Seacrest sees TV ratings potential in the clan, and a new E! reality project called Keeping Up with the Kardashians is born. "At the heart of this series – despite the catfights and endless sarcasm – is a family that truly loves and supports one another," he tells Variety.
Reality Romance
Though Variety dubs the sisters "talentless tarts," Kourtney's love-to-hate-him boyfriend Scott Disick becomes a guilty pleasure on their reality show. The pair, who began dating in 2006, has no qualms about airing their dirty laundry. "The only stuff they show of Kourtney and Scott is their drama," Kim says of her sister's roller-coaster show-mance, which helps catapult the series to the highest-rated show on Sunday nights among women aged 18 to 34.

Spin-off City
After three seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloé embark on a new adventure à deux with Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami. The franchise also marks a new chapter in Kourtney's life: She splits from longtime love Disick. "I have made a ban for myself – to be single. I cannot have a boyfriend until at least a year," she tells PEOPLE.
A Bumpy Ride
Days before the premiere of her spin-off, Kourtney reveals some surprising news: She's pregnant with on-again love Disick's baby. "I definitely thought about it long and hard, about if I wanted to keep the baby or not," she tells PEOPLE of her agonizing decision. "God does things for a reason, and I just felt like it was the right thing that was happening in my life."

The Iroquois School District plans to use the retirement of transportation supervisor Bradford Masters Jr. as an opportunity to explore job-sharing, the district announced Wednesday.
Superintendent Douglas Scofield said Masters, a 30-year employee who oversaw 82 square miles of bus routes, will be missed.
"He's here before me and after me; he will be hard to replace," the superintendent said. "I'm going to reach out and see if any neighboring district wants to support a shared supervisor. I'm not sure if it will work out, but I want to explore it. It's come up at budget meetings, and it's a perfect time to look into it.
Board member Suzanne Wolff was skeptical that a shared transportation supervisor would work, particularly with the extended hours put in by Masters. His retirement is effective Feb. 28.
In other matters, Business Administrator Joanne George said rates used to calculate the district's New York State Teachers Retirement System bill are increasing and will cause a budget spike of about $800,000.
"It's one of the challenges we will be facing at budget time," George said. "I'm already looking at ways to mitigate it. This is one of those mandates we really need relief from."
Also, Mary Jo Dudek, assistant superintendent for curriculum, said the district is modifying current report cards by adding an insert that will more directly reflect student achievement. Teachers will address the changes with parents at conference time. Redesigned report cards will be implemented next year and are "truly standard-based," Dudek said.

Video: Patient brings Parkland safety crisis to commissioner's court meeting
In today's editions, our Dallas County government writer, Kevin Krause, reports on the Parkland Memorial patient who appeared at Commissioner's Court yesterday and surprised the audience by showing it the medical tube hospital staff left in his arm.
You may recall our previously stories on Parkland discharging patients unsafely in the last two years, a health-care failure regulators have corroborated. The hospital is under federally mandated monitoring because of its safety crisis — the largest in the U.S. to face such a penalty — as a condition to keeping hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding.
Channel 8 also was at commissioner's court and ran this 2-minute segment last night. It includes footage from the meeting and reaction from County Judge Clay Jenkins, who has become a leader in pushing the taxpayer-funded hospital to reform.

Most students pick either their favorite teacher who gave them the "easy A" or their coach to write their letters of recommendation. It's not necessarily a bad tactic, but being more strategic is likely to have greater dividends.
A strong letter of recommendation states more than the facts. The best letters tell a good story about the applicant; they provide context and detail that an admissions person can't get from any other part of the application.
Since a letter of recommendation can be a tipping factor for a student, the strongest ones share information about a student's personal growth and their interests outside the classroom. So, choosing which teacher to ask becomes an important decision.
If the college only requests one letter of recommendation, then it should come from a core subject teacher (English, math, science, social studies or foreign language). Letters of recommendation from elective teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, employers or family friends are supplemental. Remember, you are applying to college, not for a summer job.
Asking for recommendations can be a little nerve-wracking, sort of like asking for a first date, but here are a few tips to make it go a little more smoothly:
• Ask in person. Don't call and leave a message or send an email or text. You will want to see your teachers' nonverbal communication. Are they excited to do this for you or do you see a hint of hesitation? If you can tell from their reaction that they are already overwhelmed with other requests, you might consider asking someone else.
Here's what you might say: "Mrs. Jones, I have really enjoyed your class and learned a lot. I'd like to know if you'd be willing to write a strong letter of recommendation for me for my college applications. Out of all my teachers, I think you know me better than anyone else and I'd be pleased if you would write my recommendation."
• Provide updated information. Once a teacher has agreed to write your letter, you'll need to give them your resume. If your school has asked you to have your letters of recommendation sent via mail, then you will need to provide each teacher with a folder that has stamped addressed envelopes for each college admissions office. If the letters are being sent online, recommenders will receive instructions from the college or your guidance office.
• Send the thank-you note. Don't forget to let your teachers know how much you appreciate what they're doing. They're not compensated for doing this and it takes time. Be sure to keep them updated of your acceptances and your final choice.

Our future in yogurt
Our future in yogurt
Consumer demand for dairy products slid last year — commercial disappearance was down 1.2 percent. While this may be disappointing to hear, there is one product category that is making plans for serious growth in the U.S. market: yogurt.
One of the stars of the yogurt world is Dannon, owned by the French company Danone. You likely are most familiar with their U.S. brand Dannon which is the maker of products like DanActive, Stoneyfield Organic, Activia, and their children-focused product Danimals. Just last week, it was reported by Reuters that the yogurt giant is taking a big aim at the U.S. market. Gustavo Valle, the chief executive officer of Dannon, said the U.S. market is still very underdeveloped with consumption six times lower than in Western Europe. Six times lower. That's a lot of yogurt and that's a lot of milk. Europeans typically eat plenty of Greek yogurt — a strained, less sweet, thicker version of our sugar-loaded cups in addition to being part of meals other than breakfast. The CEO was even so bold as to say "In four years, we can double the consumption per capita." Currently, Dannon and its top U.S. competitor Yoplait (owned by General Mills) account for 67 percent of U.S. sales. With basement milk prices last year, Dannon cut prices by 3 percent to 5 percent in the middle of 2009. This move gave sales a 15 percent jump in the last half of 2009.
Mintel market research reported early in 2010 that sales of yogurt and yogurt drinks have grown in recent years. U.S. sales of product category grew 32 percent between 2004 and 2009 with sales at $4.1 billion. As far as yogurt production goes, the USDA annually releases information on yearly totals. Information released last may revealed that in 2008, 3.5 billion pounds of yogurt was produced at 110 yogurt plants in the U.S. In 2000, that production mark was just 1.8 billion from 77 plants.

End of an era for the TangoCMS project
After a long period of no development to TangoCMS, I can with sadness officially announce that this project has now ended (October 2013).
I'd like to personally thank everyone who has contributed to the project, be it via code, bug reports, ideas, or simply moral support. The following people were close core developers and without them TangoCMS would never have been.
- Robert Clipsham
- James Stephenson
- Evangelos Foutras
We were all volunteers working on TangoCMS for free during our spare time, and unfortunately other things within our lives have taken over and we just simply do not have the time to work on this project any more.
The projects forum, manual, demo, and development websites will be switched off, all of which will now redirect to this page. Very limited support will still be given within our IRC channel, #tangocms on irc.freenode.net. Our GitHub repository and existing project archives will remain avaialble, both of which are found by going to:
Again a huge thank you to everyone who has helped, and I wish the TangoCMS Project could continue but it has run its course. Maybe in the future it will come alive again based on the Kohana Framework? Who knows!
Alex Cartwright, lead developer
About TangoCMS
The TangoCMS Project, which was the collective name for many projects, had been created for the community to construct powerful websites with ease, without having to know the complicated technologies surrounding it. These projects are, and always will be, released free of charge under open source licenses.
TangoCMS started back in early 2006 when the founder and lead developer, Alex Cartwright, began to create a browser based game with a friend. Work had started on the back end first, however after the first few months of development, things started to slow down and then eventually stopped all together.
Shortly after, Alex continued working on the AdminCP which slowly evolved into a generic AdminCP. This is when the direction changed to become a small Content Management System for the purpose of Alex's Computer Graphics Portfolio, 3D Teapot.
Development continued using the same code base as the original AdminCP right the way through until around November 2006, and was then official called "TangoCMS". This was given to Joe Davison and Robert Taylor, who became the original users and helped the development advance. It was during that stage that the limitations of the code base had been reached. It was clear that a completely new structure and framework was needed to replace the old code base that was full with security issues, including many SQL Injection possibilities and major design flaws.
Work began on designing and creating a custom MVC framework within the first few months of 2007, and the basic structure of it was completed around April 2007. This new framework, called the Zula Framework (released under the GNU/LGPL 2.1 license), powers TangoCMS and has overcome the issues in the previous code base, giving developers a solid structure and framework to build on, creating new controllers (Modules) to provide additional features.
The first full release of TangoCMS to the public was released after a 5 day delay, 1.0.6, dubbed Osprey, was released on the 14th of December, 2007.

Why exactly is oral anticancer treatment important for myeloma and other cancer patients?
Through our advocacy efforts, the IMF seeks to influence the outcomes of local, state, and national policies, laws, and regulations to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure. Since 2010, the IMF has been working to pass legislation to increase access to oral anticancer treatments, like Thalomid, Revlimid and Pomalyst, for myeloma patients. These laws ensure that patients with private insurance taking these oral treatments pay the same out of pocket cost as they would for IV treatments such as Velcade and Kyprolis. Check out our new issue page that will give you the background on these critical laws.

LISBON - Finally, the day has arrived.
Election day. The day when Americans perform their civic duty and elect their leaders.
It also is a day of reprieve. From the relentless recorded political phone calls. From those nasty television commercials. From those political mailings found every day in your mail box.
Truth be told, most of it probably will continue right up to the time the polls close at 7:30 p.m. today.
While most of the focus is always on the presidential race, voters today will also be deciding the outcome of numerous other races for national, state and county office, not to mention state and local ballot issues.
Interest is running high, if early voting is any indication. Approximately 9,877 county residents have taken advantage of Ohio's early-voting law by casting their ballots before election day. This eclipsed the old record of 7,851 early votes cast in the 2008 presidential election, which is the first year the law took effect.
The number could go higher because there are still 654 outstanding early ballots that have yet to be returned to the Columbiana County Board of Elections. They can still be counted if the ballots are postmarked no later than Nov. 6.
These early votes will be counted tomorrow along with those cast election day.
The elections board was open over the weekend for those voters who still wanted to vote early, and elections board Director Adam Booth said they were busy the entire time, especially on Sunday.
"At one o'clock Sunday you couldn't fit another person in the lobby," he said.
Of the 9,877 people who voted early so far, 2,725 did so in person at the board offices.
For what's worth, more registered Republicans voted early than Democrats - 2,579 to 1,944, a difference of about 25 percent.
But the vast majority of early-voting requests - 6,088 - came from voters who call themselves independents.
The number of registered county voters for this election is 66,703, down from 70,068 in the 2008 presidential election. Booth is predicting about 70 percent of those voters will cast a ballot, the same as 2008.
The record for voter turnout since 1980 was 76 percent in 1992.
And what would a modern election be without some last-minute lawsuits. The latest one claims a voting system used in Ohio is vulnerable to being altered, although Booth does not believe it applies to the county.
The federal lawsuit filed Monday involves voting software and hardware systems manufactured by ES&S, which provides the paper ballot/optical scan system used by the county. Booth said the lawsuit appears to be over an uncertified ES&S system that is different than the one used in the county, which has been tested and approved by the state Board of Voting Machine Examiners.
