The Nokia Lumia 710 is a very solid smartphone with a pleasing operating system and it represents incredible value for the price.
Reviews summary
The ever ambitious Nokia is at it again with their very first Windows phone. The Nokia Lumina 710 boasts the Windows Phone 7.5 operating system and definitely offers bang for your buck. With its 3.7 inch LCD display at a 480x800 resolution, you'll get a crystal clear, colorful image even in direct sunlight.
The smart phone runs a 1.4 GHz processor and has 512 MB RAM which will give you a lightning fast and smooth experience, regardless of what you are using your phone for.
If you're concerned about the call quality, have no fear. The smart phone has remarkable clarity, and no one will ever miss a word with the well-adjusted volume on the speakers and microphone. If you don't get good reception in your area, you may not get the full benefit of your network's capabilities; but you will still get a decent connection.
The phone also has a very neat, concise and user-friendly interface; however, this only applies internally. The "start", "search" and "back" buttons are all placed on a single plastic bar which causes some difficulty when trying to select one option, and the buttons themselves are not as responsive as they need to be. This problem also carries over to the camera and volume buttons.
As far as multimedia goes, the Lumina 710 is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. The phone also will provide the user with access to the awesome Zune music service; and with an impressive, distortion-resistant external speaker you will be able to enjoy your music even without headphones.
Unfortunately, the Lumina 710 does not have the capability of having an SD card, and so you are limited to a tiny memory bank of 6GB. This phone may not be a groundbreaking juggernaut, but between the competitive price, great camera, good battery life, great UI and lag-free processing it will provide any user with a solid experience.
Need to know: Nokia Lumina 710
1. This phone exceeds its price range in terms of performance. You may not find another phone with the features and power of this one for such a low price. A solid entry-level smartphone for the first time buyer. (The Good)
2. If you spend a lot of time on the phone, the call clarity and reception combined with the bulky battery life will please you greatly. (The Good)
3. Unlike many smartphones, you won't be saving many pictures or songs on this one. With a miniscule 6GB of memory and no ability to expand it, you will feel pretty restricted in what you keep on your phone. (The Bad)
4. The physical user interface is not the best. If you are not particularly dexterous or used to small buttons, the plastic bar and volume/camera buttons may prove pretty frustrating for you. (TheBad)
Specs summary
The Nokia Lumia 710's screen is 3.7 inches with 800 x 400 pixels resolution.
There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 1.4 GHz processor (CPU).
The phone runs on the Windows Phone 7.5 Tango operating system (OS).
Internal memory is 8 MB. An external, MicroSD (up to 32 GB) expansion slot is available for increased storage capacity.
The phone is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), 1300 mAh battery. Nokia's performance ratings are 0.5 days standby time, 410 minutes (2G), 455 minutes (3G), 231 minutes Wi-Fi surfing.

The music began and the zombies lurched to life, moving together to the strains of Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Behind them, students held up signs: "RIP Philly's Schools."
Dozens of youths - members of the organizing group Philadelphia Student Union - gathered outside the Philadelphia School District's headquarters on North Broad Street Tuesday to protest a plan to close 37 city schools in June.
The zombies danced for a few minutes, then collapsed in a heap.
"We represent the students affected by the closing plan," Benjamin Franklin High School sophomore Hausim Talbot said later. "Our hopes would be dead."
District officials have said that if they do not shut schools, they will run out of cash to operate. They estimate the closings would save about $28 million, though that does not include transition and start-up costs for the next school year.

Acronym "Eat Better Tonight". Actually stands for "Electronic Benefits Transfer", which is the current method of distributing food stamp benefits. Many "EBT" cardholders are often seen purchasing high end food items like live seafood, high grade cuts of meat, etc.
I saw a couple in the market using their "EBT" card to purchase live Maine lobsters. I guess they'll "eat better tonight". Sad to see how my tax dollars are being spent.

To present national estimates of the prevalence and impact of chronic conditions for children from poor and nonpoor families by using data from the 1988 National Health Interview Survey.
Proxy responses to a checklist of child health conditions administered for 17 110 children younger than 18 years were used. Conditions were classified as chronic if they were first noticed more than 3 months before the interview or if they were the type that would ordinarily be of extended duration, such as arthritis.
While nonpoor families were more likely than poor families to report chronic conditions for their children, children from poor families exhibited a higher risk of experiencing severe chronic conditions. Children with chronic conditions from poor families also experienced substantial barriers to care; they were 118% more likely to be uninsured than were children from nonpoor families and 42% more likely to lack a usual source of care. Children with chronic conditions from poor families were found to use fewer ambulatory care services but more inpatient hospital care than their nonpoor counterparts.
Children from poor families experience chronic health problems that are inadequately addressed by our existing health care system.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1994;148:1143-1149)

The company picked up the tab and even gave the doctor $500 for his trouble.
Five years later, federal prosecutors are pointing to that trip and many others as examples of the kickbacks ISTA used to illegally boost drug sales.
The eye-care drugmaker admitted its guilt in a Buffalo courtroom Friday and agreed to pay $33 million to settle a criminal prosecution brought by the government and two civil cases brought by former sales representatives who blew the whistle on the company.
"This wasn't a rogue employee," said Daniel C. Oliverio, a lawyer for one of the whistle-blowers. "This was company practice. This went to the highest levels of the company."
The case, which dates back to 2007 and was under court-ordered seal in U.S. District Court until Friday, was based on allegations that ISTA improperly marketed one of its drugs, Xibrom, for medical uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA has approved Xibrom for use as an anti-inflammatory treatment for patients recovering from cataract surgery but the company, eager to increase sales of the drug, embarked on an illegal strategy of trying to convince doctors to use it for other non-authorized uses.
"ISTA Pharmaceuticals offered illegal kickbacks, illegal inducements to doctors," said Assistant U.S. Attorney MaryEllen Kresse.
As part of a plea deal approved by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara, ISTA admitted taking part in the scheme, which began in 2005 and continued until 2010.
"Conduct was occurring that should not have been occurring," Kristen G. Koehler, a lawyer for the company, told Arcara.
ISTA, which is based in California, admitted using kickbacks to doctors and an illegal marketing campaign as part of an elaborate scheme to increase its sales of Xibrom.
The scheme, outlined in detail in newly released court papers, ranged from company-provided instruction sheets for doctors to continuing medical education programs to promote the drug.
In many cases, ISTA employees were told not to leave printed materials behind in doctors' offices or to keep records of their meetings with doctors in order to avoid detection by others.
The company went so far as to offer speaking engagements and consulting appearances to doctors in hopes that they might use Xibrom for non-authorized treatments.
Doctors can legally prescribe drugs for non-FDA approved treatments, but drugmakers are prohibited from promoting their products for those uses.
"Essentially they entered into consulting arrangements to induce physicians to prescribe their drug," said Jeffrey I. Steger, a lawyer in the Consumer Protection Branch of the U.S. Department of Justice.
When Arcara asked if money was the doctors' motivation, Steger said yes.
"Thousands of dollars," he told the judge.
The scheme collapsed when two former employees filed lawsuits exposing the company's illegal activities. One of them, Keith Schenker, left the company after just six or seven months on the job.
He now stands to make about $2.5 million as part of his share in the $15 million civil portion of the settlement.
"There came a point when he realized what he was doing was a violation of the law," Oliverio said of his out-of-town client. "He basically decided, 'I can't do this anymore.' "
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathleen A. Lynch said the civil settlement also resolves the government's contention that ISTA's conduct caused false claims to be submitted to government health care programs such as Medicaid.
Once the whistle-blower suits were filed, the government's criminal investigation soon followed and ultimately led to Friday's criminal plea. The company pleaded guilty to conspiracy to introduce a misbranded drug in interstate commerce with intent to defraud and mislead, and conspiracy to violate the anti-kickback statute.
The California company also agreed to pay $18.5 million in fines and forfeitures to the government.
Arcara, who seemed genuinely shocked by the revelations of kickbacks to doctors, asked at one point if there were health or safety consequences associated with ISTA's scheme.
Koehler said the government is not alleging that in its court papers, but Oliverio said the potential for side effects still exists even if there are no documented cases of people becoming ill.
Arcara also wanted to know if the $33 million settlement was large enough to serve as a deterrent for a company that generated $160 million in sales in 2011.
"This will have national consequences in the pharmaceutical industry," Kresse assured him.
ISTA is owned by Bausch & Lomb, the Rochester-based eye care company, but the illegal conduct occurred well before Bausch & Lomb bought the company last year.

SOLON -- Officers involved in dealing with a drunken woman behind the wheel of a car at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 19, had to handle another crime at the same time.
Arrested were a Cleveland man, 49, and a Solon woman, 41.
Garnering the attention of police was a particularly bad idea for the woman, who had an active arrest warrant in Twinsburg.
The man was charged with disorderly conduct. The woman was arrested and taken to jail to await the arrival of Twinsburg police.

Louis Sullivan (American, 1856–1924), architect; George Grant Elmslie (American, born Scotland, 1871–1952), designer, Bank Teller's Wicket, copper-coated cast iron, 1907–1908. 41 x 23 in. Gallery 3
The American architect, Louis Sullivan, and his chief draftsman, George Elmslie, designed both the structure and the ornamentation of the National Farmer's Bank in Owatonna, Minnesota, where this wicket was installed. Originally one of eight in the bank, this wicket would have framed the teller's face and provided a barrier between the teller and the public as they interacted. The swirling foliage design was carried throughout the bank, because Sullivan believed that ornament was a metaphor for the inner vitality and function of a building. The fanciful and intricate leaves and plants covering the wicket would have suggested for Sullivan a lively space busy with activity and business transactions.

Teacher Workshops
School Year and Summer technology workshops for Teachers.
EdTechTeacher Summer Workshops 2009
For their 7th summer edTech has partnered with Boston University School of Education and Noble & Greenough School to offer an incredible group of educational technology experts who will lead a series of innovative hands-on summer workshops in Boston. Join educators from around the world who come to Boston each summer for a memorable and inspiring educational experience.
Summercore is a unique 5 day computer workshop that is designed to energize teachers into becoming far more involved in integrating technology into the classroom. Offered since 1985, Summercore has educated over 2400 teachers and administrators (mostly from Independent Schools); Summercore is a 5 day, 35 hour course which focuses on both skills and issues. Because they divide the skill sessions into JV and Varsity groups, Summercore works for both novices and tech coordinators (and everyone in between). In the spirit of Independent School philosophy and best practices, each Summercore session stays fairly small (around 25 people) so that they can address the computer needs of each participant in a meaningful way. Through lectures, round-table philosophical discussions, numerous hands-on skill sessions and experienced teaching, Summercore has empowered each and every participant to want to return to her/his Independent School to be part of the essential humanware needed to achieve meaningful integration.
The closest Summer 2009 sessions are at Horace Mann School , July 13-17, Riverdale NY just north of Manhattan; New Canaan Country School (CT) June 22-26; Berkeley Carroll School (Brooklyn NY) July 6-10.
Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach - Professional Development Workshops
The Tufts CEEO offers week-long workshops during the summer as well as day long workshops during the year. Workshops are structured to allow participants to engage in similar activities to their students. Most of the time is spent on hand-on activities and understanding how to present engineering to students - there is very little traditional lecture.
National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) 2009
June 28-July 1, 2009 - Washington, D.C.
For almost three decades, NECC has been the premier forum in which to learn, exchange, and survey the field of educational technology. This annual conference—presented by ISTE and keyed to the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS)—features hands-on workshops, lecture-format and interactive concurrent sessions, discussions with key industry leaders, and the largest educational technology exhibit in the nation.
Laptop Institute 2009
The Laptop Institute (July 19-21, 2009) is an international think tank for schools using or considering laptops or tablets as tools for learning. Created and hosted by Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, Tennessee, the Laptop Institute offers over 80 breakout sessions - from hands-on events to lectures, discussions and networking. Conference sessions meet the needs of educators, technology integrationists, technology support personnel and administration. In 2008, over 500 attendees from 29 states and 16 countries attended, representing more than 200 schools and school districts. Over half those attending are K-12 teachers who collaborate with peers and learn tips for using laptops and tablets in their own classrooms.
K12 Online Conference
The K-12 Online Conference invites participation from educators around the world interested in innovative ways Web 2.0 tools and technologies can be used to improve learning. This FREE conference is run by volunteers and open to everyone.

Solo Show Stables' Harold Chopping stuck to his game plan with Aiken-resident Paddy Ann Burns' Calando Z. The rider/horse combination decided to take the a-option, and come back into the ring for the jump-off, and that four-minute respite provided the Zangersheide gelding the opportunity to catch his breath as Chopping and the 16.2 hand chestnut would go double clear and win the Progressive Show Jumping Aiken Spring Classic Masters week $5,000 Welcome Stake Friday afternoon at Highfields Event Center.
The tracks were designed by Olympic Silver medalist and internationally renowned course designer Michel Vaillancourt. The Aiken resident's first round track featured 12, 1.35 meter obstacles and 15 elements. A field of 16 rider/horse combinations exhibited, and eight of those would have fault free rounds to return for the short course. The time allowed was adjusted after the first rider, being lowered from 83 seconds to 73 seconds.
However, it was Victor Segovia, riding The Romeo Group's Romeo, and the horseman and Royal Dutch Warmblood gelding by Cantero, would establish the first round's reference time as they stopped the timer at 66.526. The course proved technical enough as a number of entries had rails down as a result of the triple, 5abc, vertical, oxer, vertical, and the double 10ab, oxer to a vertical, with rider/horse combinations having faults on both the early and latter part of the track.
Aiken-based Gonzalo Garcia riding Renee Kvartek's Harley's Heaven, the rider/combination are no strangers to success at Highfields Event Center, would be the first to go double clear, as they completed the short course fault free in a time of 38.139.
Stephen Heinecke and Victoria Press' Cayenne 140 would also go double clear, stopping the timer in 41.127, good enough for fourth.
Segovia and Romeo would return for the jump-off, a track that featured seven obstacles. and the rider combination would turn in a flawless effort, moving into second place after completing the course in 39.687.
However, Chopping and Calando Z decided to take the a-option, and left the ring after the first round, returning after the final rider/horse combination left the grand prix ring. The brief respite proved beneficial, and the rider/horse combination would go fault free, in a time of 37.754.
"For him (Calando Z), it was our plan (to take the a-option)," said Chopping. "The bay horse, the first one I rode (Kendra Bullington's mare Patent Pending) was going to stay in the ring, and it would suit her to just do it once, and not to come out. She gets a little nervous. It's harder for her to pick up her canter again. Our plan with Calando Z was to come out, so I could pull up, and canter and flat a little bit, jump a tall vertical and go right back in. It gave him a little break to catch his breath."
Chopping walked the jump-off track prior to the competition, to determine what he would need to do as far as figuring out the fastest options, if he were to qualify one of his two rides for the jump-off. Chopping and Calando Z will return for Sunday's $25,000 Aiken Spring Classic Grand Prix.
"He's a really good horse," said Chopping. "He has enough experience to be able to work Friday and Sunday. So, I didn't mind going real fast and trying to be the winner. He jumped beautifully, so I was really pleased."

CANFIELD - Less than 24 hours after her first taste of the spotlight, Ursuline freshman Megan Ross experienced it again.
Her second hit to right field. Her second game-winning RBI scoring Maddie Christoff. And her second postgame interview with local reporters.
She felt more comfortable with all three events as the Fighting Irish downed South Range, 2-1, in a nine inning Division III district final at South Range High School.
"It was a good feeling - again," Ross said. "(The interview) was the same, kind of. (The hit) was fine to adjust to. They were playing in on me so I just tried to tap it over their heads. It was outside so I just drove it that way."
On Thursday, she pushed a ground ball to the right side after Christoff drove in three runs on a double in the bottom of the seventh inning against Newton Falls. Christoff, a senior, collected three hits on Friday.
"Between Megan and Maddie getting hot both days at the right time and being clutch is great," said Ursuline coach Michael Kernan. "They're hot hitters; we'll take it."
In his 12th year leading the Irish, Kernan is 7-2 in district title games. The Raiders also have a storied tradition in the tournament.
The senior class won four-straight Inter Tri-County League Upper Tier titles, lost just two league games and made two appearances in the regional tournament. They finished the season at 25-3, the best season since winning 27 games in 2009.
After committing just one error in its past eight games, South Range had five against Ursuline. It also stranded 10 runners on base.
"It's frustrating," Raiders coach Don Feren said. "But in their defense, they put the ball in play and challenged us to make tough plays and we didn't. Ursuline got the key hits and the key outs when they needed to. We left a lot of girls on in key positions that we should've got in."
Irish pitcher Makayla Shore escaped a jam in the eighth when Stevie Taylor led off with a single. Shore retired the next two batters, but allowed Lexi Naples to reach base when a dribbler up the middle snuck under her legs. Taylor advanced to third on the error.
"I knew that the game wasn't over, by any means, at that point," Shore said. "We definitely had to regroup and I wanted to make sure that I made the next out be as easy as possible."
After a 3-2 count and a 10-pitch at bat, Kara Taylor grounded out. Shore finished with four strikeouts. Her and Macey Gunther, the team's top batters, went hitless on Friday and combined to go just 2-16 in the district tournament.
"We worried about Gunther and Shore doing most of their damage and they didn't do anything," Feren said. "The younger girls stepped up."
Christoff plated Dana Creatore in the top of the fourth for Ursuline (20-9). South Range answered in the bottom half with Morgan Renforth's RBI double.
Carly DeRose, a Slippery Rock recruit, struck out six Ursuline batters. Anny Carroll had the Irish's only other hit, a third inning single.
"We knew we were a good enough team if we played to our potential that we could play with anybody and beat anybody," Kernan said. "We got in fights all year. South Range was going to be a heck of a battle and that's what we got."

yes looks like a SW problem. To be 100% sure, you should check the signal on
the TTL-side (output of your MAX491). To test the serial interface make a
loopback connection and check with minicom for instant echo. Flawed and
delayed behavior of the serial I/F could be caused by interrupts not coming
through. Do a cat/proc/interrupts to check wether the interrupts for the
serial are counting up. Problems could also be caused by floating handshake
Good luck

FOX is making an aggressive play for male viewers
With "American Idol" still the bedrock of its programming, FOX has made several pleas for female viewers in recent years, whether with comedy development -- "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project" live on, while "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" and "Ben & Kate" do not -- or on the drama side with failures like "The Mob Doctor." This season? It would appear that FOX is all about me. On the comedy side, "Dads," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Enlisted" and "Surviving Jack" all look to skew strongly male (midseason rom-com "Us & Them" is the exception), while dramas like "Almost Human," "Gang Related" and "Rake" look to be going the same direction. "The Following" has taught FOX that a male-driven show can play to all four quadrants, so maybe FOX is hoping that after several lightning-free years, lightning can strike four or five times.

Series description This is game engine development diary done by Ivan Mandić. I am a young developer, and I am working on my 3D Game-SDK (Game engine). FAQ: What is a game engine? Game engine is a software system designed for the creation and development of video games. There are many game engines that are designed to work on video game consoles and desktop operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The core functionality typically provided by a game engine includes a rendering engine ("renderer") for 2D or 3D graphics, a physics engine or collision detection (and collision response), sound, scripting, animation, artificial intelligence, networking, streaming, memory management, threading, localization support, and a scene graph. The process of game development is frequently economized by in large part reusing the same game engine to create different games. What is the purpose of the game engine? Game engines provide a suite of visual development tools in addition to reusable software components. These tools are generally provided in an integrated development environment to enable simplified, rapid development of games in a data-driven manner.

Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery Ben Shneiderman [University of Maryland--College Park] Abstract: Interactive information visualization tools provide researchers with remarkable capabilities to support discovery. By combining powerful data mining methods with user-controlled interfaces, users are beginning to benefit from these potent telescopes for high-dimensional data. They can begin with an overview, zoom in on areas of interest, filter out unwanted items, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design and efficient algorithms, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100msec updates even for million-record databases. This talk will start by reviewing the growing commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap and www.hivegroup.com. Then it will cover recent research progress for visual exploration of large time series data applied to financial, medical, and genomic data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher ). These strategies of unifying statistics with visualization are applied to electronic health records (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifelines2) and social network data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction and www.codeplex.com/nodexl).

DESIGNING FOR DENSE DATA, "FAT FINGERS," DIVERSE INTERACTIONS, AND FACE-TO-FACE COLLABORATION Tabletop displays with touch-based input provide many powerful affordances for directly manipulating and collaborating around information visualizations. However, these devices also introduce several challenges for interaction designers, including discrepancies among the resolutions of the visualization, the tabletops display, and its sensing technologies; a need to support diverse types of interactions required by different visualization techniques; and the ability to support face-to-face collaboration. As a result, most interactive tabletop applications for working with information currently demonstrate limited functionality and do not approach the power or versatility of their desktop counterparts. We present two specific techniques, i-Loupe and iPodLoupe, which illustrate how different design choices for addressing these challenges enable vastly different experiences in working with complex data on interactive surfaces. by Stephen Voida , University of Calgary Matthew Tobiasz , University of Calgary Julie Stromer , University of Calgary Petra Isenberg , University of Calgary Sheelagh Carpendale , University of Calgary www.its2009.org
Panopticon's Portfolio Performance, Attribution & Risk Solution is an advanced BI Dashboard that allows managers to view aggregated risk and performance data from all funds under management right down to the constituent level of a single portfolio. The solution supports collaboration within organizations as well as presentation of complex performance and risk data in intuitive ways. The software's flexibility and ability to handle large amounts of data from multiple databases make it a great fit for managing complex funds that hold a variety of instruments. The solution allows users to understand precisely the drivers of performance and risk - much faster than is possible with traditional methods - and enables business users to take immediate action on important findings. It lets you see all details of a portfolio in a single view and easily switch to view additional portfolios. You can drill all the way down to see details about the underlying instruments or aggregate up to the level you're most interested in. Analyze portfolio relative contributions, filter out constituents that do not merit attention and bring up complete details on those that do. This tutorial uses a Dashboard built using Panopticon EX but the same concepts and procedures apply to our Developer SDK.

Google Tech Talk September 24, 2009 ABSTRACT Translation by Iterative Collaboration between Monolingual Users. Presented by Benjamin Bederson. Human translation is expensive and slow, and often unavailable between uncommon language pairs. Machine translation is inexpensive and fast, but quality remains unreliable. In an effort to find a balance between speed and quality, we describe a new iterative translation process designed to leverage the massive number of online users who have limited or no bilingual skill. The iterative process is supported by combining existing machine translation methods with monolingual human speakers. We are building a publicly available prototype on the Web that is capable of yielding high quality translations at drastically reduced expense. In this talk, I will describe our translation model, and show our early prototype. This work is being done in collaboration with Philip Resnik at UMD. Benjamin B. Bederson is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and the previous director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and iSchool at the University of Maryland. His research is on mobile device interfaces, information visualization, interaction strategies, digital libraries, and accessibility issues such as voting system usability. He is also cofounder and Chief Scientist of Zumobi, a mobile media company.
Authors: Jeffrey Heer, Stuart K. Card, James A. Landay Abstract; Although information visualization (infovis) technologies have proven indispensable tools for making sense of complex data, wide-spread deployment has yet to take hold, as successful infovis applications are often difficult to author and require domain-specific customization. To address these issues, we have created prefuse, a software framework for creating dynamic visualizations of both structured and unstructured data. prefuse provides theoretically-motivated abstractions for the design of a wide range of visualization applications, enabling programmers to string together desired components quickly to create and customize working visualizations. To evaluate prefuse we have built both existing and novel visualizations testing the toolkit's flexibility and performance, and have run usability studies and usage surveys finding that programmers find the toolkit usable and effective.
Video courtesy of blprnt at Vimeo vimeo.com The visualization uses Twitter searches for phrases like "just landed in" "arrived at" to create a "real time" trend of movement based on social networking information. Possible uses included tracking flu outbreaks like searching for tweet related to H1N1 and then visually graphing them. blog.blprnt.com processing.org Here's what he says: "I was discussing H1N1 with a bioinformatics friend of mine last weekend, and we ended up talking about ways that epidemiologists model transmission of disease. I wondered how some of the information that is shared voluntarily on social networks might be used to build useful models of various kinds. I'm also interested in visualizing information that isn't implicitly shared - but instead is inferred or suggested. This piece looks for tweets containing the phrases 'just landed in...' or 'just arrived in...'. Locations from these tweets are located using MetaCarta's Location Finder API. The home location for the traveling users are scraped from their Twitter pages. The system then plots these voyages over time. I'm not entirely sure where this will end up going, but I am reasonably happy with the results so far.

Introduction Existing methods for displaying large amounts of stock market data do not easily allow comparison between companies, as the data is often presented in tabular format. Some solutions implement a price-over-time graph, with the option of layering on additional stocks or market indices for comparison. STOC, however, seeks to allow immediate comparison of hundreds or thousands of stocks, by mapping various stock-specific parameters to easily observable visual outputs. This visualization is particularly suited for comparisons between items, as one is able to immediately identify the largest, or reddest, or quickest item in the group. 2. Data Mapping The program uses mapping functions to adjust the raw data within ranges usable for visualization purposes. The data is mapped between inputs and outputs as follows: - volume of trading = planet orbital distance - comparison to S&P 500 = planet speed - percent change from prior close = planet color - market capitalization = planet size - P/E ratio = planet ...

The Voice Sends Two Contestants Home
To open the night, Christina Aguilera and Green performed the world premiere of "Make the World Move," from her new album Lotus. Guest Jason Aldean also took the stage, and Blake Shelton rocked out with his team to Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway."
Green's Trevin Hunte, Nicholas David and Cody Belew came together for a '70s inspired – bell bottoms and all! – performance of the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive." But was it a sign of things to come? Keep reading for all the results ...
All of Green's singers as well as Levine's Bryan Keith, Melanie Martinez and Amanda Brown felt the love from viewers at home, and will have another shot at next week's show.
America also saved Aguilera's Sylvia Yacoub and Dez Duron, and Shelton's Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott.
But without enough votes to keep them in the competition, Team Aguilera's Adriana Louise and Team Blake's Michaela Paige said goodbye.
Aguilera consoled Louise by reminding her that even she didn't win Star Search, but still made it to superstardom. Louise was grateful for all her coach's support. "You believed in me more than I believed in myself," she told Aguilera through tears.
Paige also enjoyed an uplifting experience on The Voice. "If I inspired anyone, that's all I wanted to do," Paige said. "Follow your dreams and believe in your heart." But her coach Shelton isn't too concerned about the aspiring singer's future.
"Her big old mohawk is going to be walking across the stage at the Grammys," he said, "and I can't wait."

Pace: Thunder – 92.9 (14th), Hornets – 92.5 (16th)
View from the enemy: Hornets 24/7
The Hornets are here blah blah blah the past blah blah 2005 blah. All that is pretty much out of my system now. I don't really give two poos about Chris Paul and David West anymore. They are the enemy and this is a big game. The Thunder can pretty much bury New Orleans from harming their playoff chances with a win tonight. Oklahoma City would own the tiebreaker over the Hornets and plus, it's one more game up on them with one less game to go.
New Orleans coming in: The Hornets have lost four of five, but most recently won Monday night against Golden State at home. But on the road, NOLA is just 11-21. And in their last 10, they're 4-6.
It's no secret anymore that the NOLA offense is completely point guard controlled. Darren Collison is doing a fairly excellent job in filling in for Chris Paul, or about as good as you'd hope your rookie backup would do. He's basically doing it by doing the same things. Taking his time, getting in the lane and finding a cutter or an open shooter. Basically it's pass, pass, pass for Collison and it's working well. He's got guys he can lob to in Julian Wright and Emeka Okafor. He's got shooters he can kick to in Peja and James Posey. And he's got midrange guys like David West, Morris Peterson and Marcus Thornton. It's a pretty well-oiled machine for the Hornets. At least offensively.
Russell Westbrook played extremely well against Collison the last meeting, but that was when Collison was just settling into his new spot. He's playing much better now so this will be a good matchup. Thabo will move over and play Collison some, but with new X-Factor Marcus Thornton scoring the ball well, Thabo will have to give attention there as well. The thing about Collison is that while he can pile up assists, he can also catch the turnover bug. So with OKC's hawking, pressure defense, I think this could be a good thing for the Thunder.
Peja can't guard Kevin Durant, but Posey did a solid job at the Ford Center back in January. David West typically abuses Jeff Green, Okafor is a load inside for Nenad Krstic and even without Paul, the scorers get their chances for NOLA. But what hurts the Hornets is the lack of a really productive bench, which is something OKC has on them. A good night from Serge Ibaka – who will probably see a lot of time on Okafor, as he did in the first two meetings – solid minutes from Nick Collison and some offense from James Harden should do the trick.
(UPDATE: Peja is out tonight. Julian Wright will start in his steed.)
Now isn't the time to start dropping home games, especially the important variety. The Hornets edged OKC last time in the Ford Center when the Thunder scored like four points in the fourth quarter. It was an ugly finish to a really exciting game. There can't be any of that tonight. The Thunder hasn't played great defense the last week or so, so now would be a good time to get back to that. Keeping pace in the West for seeding is important, but snuffing out any potential playoff spoilers is still the priority.
Tip at 7:00 CST. Go Hometown Thunder.

Dead Space 3 review
A limb severingly good shooting game experience
Killing Necromorphs still requires a modicum of skill, requiring you to target specific limbs and quite literally blow them to bits. To make up for Isaac's increased weapon arsenal, Visceral has increased the number of enemies Isaac has to fight. This means that while combat isn't as tense in the scary, permanently on edge way, it is still an adrenaline pumping experience.
At times we literally found ourselves backs against the wall firing our weapon on full automatic trying to slow down the sea of angry alien monsters assaulting our position.
We also found that the amended combat and weapon creation mechanics helped improve Dead Space 3's replay value.
Dead Space 3 features the same New Game+ mode seen on its predecessors. The mode lets you restart the game's story while keeping all the upgrades, items and weapon parts you salvaged in your previous play-through. Overall, while the plot didn't give us an overarching desire to take advantage of the mode, its weapon creation system did.
More often than not, we were inclined to investigate Dead Space 3's danger ridden environments because we wanted to find more parts to improve our weapon, not because we cared too much about the story.
Outside of its amended combat, Electronic Arts has also made a slew of changes to Dead Space 3's gameplay. Unlike the original games, Dead Space 3 isn't a completely linear game. While the story is still pretty much chapter based, tasking Isaac to go from one area to the next, Visceral has tweaked the formula, adding cooperative and side missions.
The optional side missions pop up every now and again and provide added insights into the game's world. Generally the missions appear when one of the game's non-player characters sends Isaac a message telling him they've found something interesting near his location.
These can include everything from an ammo dump, to an automated message asking for help. The missions are a welcome break from the general game's story and generally offer some interesting angles on the area you're in.
For example, in one mission we investigated an ammo dump only to find it had been booby trapped and controlled by a survivor of the original crew, who had long since gone insane. Playing through the mission, the crazed crew member would regularly scream interesting snippets of truth about the surrounding area's history at us, adding an element of intrigue to the game's otherwise by the numbers plot.

MIDLAND - Thursday's girls tennis matchup between Bay City Central and Bay City Western featured two teams with losing records, frequent interaction between opposing players and a cookout enjoyed by all players, coaches and parents.
And there was some tennis played too. Western defeated the Wolves 7-1 to capture its first win, and Saginaw Valley League victory, of the year, in a match that took place at the Midland Community Tennis Center.
It's safe to say it was little less intense then Joe Ricard and Tony Villano's past coaching experience.
Ricard coached boys varsity basketball for 25 years in stints at Birch Run, Saginaw Nouvel, Frankenmuth and Central. He won back-to-back state championships at Nouvel in 1990 and 91. Five years ago Villano stepped down after a successfull run as coach of the Western wrestling team. A few weeks ago, Villano decided to get back into coaching.
"I saw there was an opening and I've had a love of tennis since I was a kid," Villano said. "I saw this as an opportunity to get back into a game that I really loved."
Ricard is in his fourth year as coach of the Wolves. He also has coached the boys tennis team for the past 12 years.
"I don't think I've changed my coaching style at all," Ricard said. "What I've found out is it doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, or what you play, you still want to compete, or at least you still want to be taught to compete."
While a Thursday afternoon tennis match can't compete with a Friday night Western-Central varsity basketball game, or a Saturday morning SVL wrestling conference championship in terms of drawing fans or creating a buzz at school, both coaches agree that the players will to win is just as strong.
"The intensity level, and the 'win at all costs' mentality may not be the same in this sport," Villano said. "But that doesn't mean the girls don't want to win."
"It's different from the standpoint that there's no referee's, and there's less media attention," Ricard said. "But these are still high school kids and they still want to win."
The Western-Central rivalry is still there, but in this sport a picnic is involved.
"This has been a tradition for years," Ricard said. "The home team always feeds the visitor but this year, everybody brought something.
"Obviously the rivalry is magnified many times over in basketball, but that doesn't mean we don't recognize Western as a big match."
The varsity match started at 2 p.m. with the JV match taking place after all varsity games were complete. In between, players, coaches and parents enjoyed hot dogs, taco salad, potato chips and many other cookout staples.
The Warriors improved to 1-5-1 and 1-3 in the SVL despite playing without the services of No. 1 singles player Alex Nowlin who was interviewing for a possible academic scholarship.
In her first match at No. 1 singles, Western's Natasha Khang defeated Central's Sunni Nix in straight sets 6-1, 6-4.
Western's Lauren Morley beat Mallory Stevens 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 at No. 2 singles and teammate Nicole Skrzypczak downed Shawna Redfern 6-0, 6-0 at No. 4 singles.
Central's Bree Szczepansky earned Central's only win at No. 3 singles, defeating Anna Geneseo 6-2, 7-5. The Warriors swept the doubles as the duo's of Megan Escamilla/Casey Patterson (No. 1 doubles), Bekah Vanderwig/Melissa Venix (No. 2), Emily Gunther/Megan Guettler (No. 3) and Cecilie Jensen/Paige Plowdrey (No. 4) all emerged victorious.
Central falls to 1-3 in the Valley and 2-5 overall.

Mathew Prichard Has Been Caught in a Mousetrap for 25 Years—and Loves It
Murder—in the mews, at the vicarage, along the Nile or on the Orient Express—pays off handsomely, as Mathew Prichard can testify. Whodunit for him? His grandmother, the late Dame Agatha Christie. Prichard, 34, is chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd., the company that collects royalties and leases the rights for most of Dame Agatha's 88 books, 17 plays and 100 or so short stories. Prichard also received a very special gift when he was only 9. His grandmother signed over to him sole rights to her new play The Mousetrap. The mystery thriller has turned out to be the longest-running drama in London's history. More than 25 years later it is still being performed eight times a week in St. Martin's Theatre. Ticket sales in London alone—not to mention the 41 other countries where it has been staged—amount to more than $7 million.
Despite the author's death in January 1976 at 85, the tide of Christiemania continues to rise. The huge success of the 1974 film Murder on the Orient Express spurred sales of all Christie's books; there are now about 400 million copies in print. Curtain, the final chapter in the life of sleuth Hercule Poirot, and Sleeping Murder, the last Miss Marple mystery, were both best-sellers. Paperback rights to Christie's An Autobiography were just sold for $250,000, and the movie Death on the Nile (starring Bette Davis with Peter Ustinov as Poirot) will be released in October.
Besides Mousetrap, Dame Agatha parceled out exclusive rights to other works to relatives and friends. Her surviving second husband, archeologist Sir Max Mallowan, was given Sleeping Murder, while Curtain's royalties go to Agatha Christie's only child, Prichard's mother, Rosalind.
As watchdog for his grandmother's estate, Prichard is thrilled about all the ongoing projects except one—Agatha, a film in which Vanessa Redgrave plays the author and Dustin Hoffman a fictional American journalist. Agatha deals with the mysterious 11 days in 1926 when she disappeared after discovering that her first husband had a girlfriend. Dame Agatha always insisted that she lost her memory, and Prichard echoes that explanation. In any case, the subject was taboo within the household. "I never exchanged a word on it with my grandmother," he says. The family has gone to court to try to stop the movie.
Prichard's memories of Agatha Christie are, not surprisingly, far more benign. He often visited Greenway, her home in Devon, where grandmother served as umpire for family cricket matches and each day at teatime read aloud from her mystery-in-progress. Guests would try to guess the villain.
Prichard, whose father was killed in World War II, went to Eton and Oxford, then hawked books for Penguin publishers to learn the trade. In 1967 he married Angela Maples, a secretarial school student he had met at Oxford.
He now spends two days a week working in London but otherwise lives with his family in elegant comfort at Pwllywrach (pronounced pull-tha-rah), a 500-acre, 18th-century estate in south Wales. The art-filled gray stone manor could be the perfect setting for Christie's multimurder Ten Little Indians, but inside the scene is cheerful. Alexandra Agatha, 9, James, 8, and Joanna, 6, romp with Telfer, the family's black retriever, a terrier named Piddles and three cats. Treasure, a pony, is stabled outside.
For the moment Prichard is weighing offers to turn Miss Marple into a TV series. "I think we've been through the violence and sex," he says. "If my grandmother's last books help contribute to family entertainment, nothing would please her better."

Did you know?
EUR-USD has remained mired in a narrow range in the low 1.1200s, below the two-week high at 1.1279 that was seen on Monday. Bigger picture, EUR-USD has been in a broadly sideways chop centred around 1.1100-1.1300 since March-April of last year. Net capital outflows from the Eurozone (a consequence of the ECB's QE) and the Fed's path to tightening, albeit and a long and winding one, have been keeping a lid on the pair over this period.

The dollar traded mixed, making gains versus an underperforming yen, lifting versus the Canadian dollar while rising and then falling against the euro. USD-JPY recouped most of yesterday's losses in making a peak of 100.81. A stabilization in oil prices, after diving nearly 3% yesterday, helped European stock markets rally, along with an abatement in concerns about Deutsche Bank. The more risk-on backdrop in turn pressured the yen in the usual inverse ... Read More ►

The yen dove following Opec's decision to curtail crude oil output, while the Canadian dollar and other commodity currencies saw bouts of buying. USD-JPY rallied as the yen weakened as stock markets rose in Asia-Pacific on the unexpected Opec news, which is the first coordinated action to underpin oil prices since 2008.

And it's not only the jury's stunning verdict.
When Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, delivered the bombshell testimony that she was the one who performed the incriminating computer searches on the family computer, "It was annoying," the assistant state attorney tells PEOPLE.
"The main thing that went through my head was, 'Why are you doing this now? Now I have to go through the process of impeaching your testimony.' With the exception of that issue, Cindy had always been pretty honest about things."
As for Casey's father, George Anthony, Ashton says that he was combative during his deposition, but cooperated during the trial. "In the end, George and Cindy came to understand that we were doing what we needed to do," says Ashton. "They respected what we were doing, even if they didn't agree."
Of course, the prosecutor wasn't thrilled with the jury's finding either.
The Surprising Verdict
Sitting at the prosecution table when the verdict was read, all Ashton could say was "wow," before leaving the courtroom in stunned silence.
"We were definitely not expecting what happened," he recalls. "Disappointment is the best way to describe it. We put three years of intense work and sacrifice into the case, and to have it end that way, well, that's frustration."
Although Ashton is a fiery prosecutor who often raises his voice in the courtroom, he maintains that he is not mad at the seven women and five men who acquitted the 25-year-old Florida mom.
"You can't get angry at people who are doing the right thing," he says. "I would love to know how they perceived the evidence. I would love to know their take on things: the lies, the 31 days. It would be fascinating to know what they thought."
As for Casey Anthony, who could be a free woman as early as this week, "The verdict hasn't changed what I think about her case or what she did," says Ashton. "But now I am curious about what will happen to her. Who will hire her? Where will she live? What the heck is she going to do now?"
One thing he doesn't expect is for Anthony to provide any new insights as to how Caylee died. "She's like the boy who cried wolf," says Ashton. "We will never know the truth. The only person who can tell it is Casey, and no one will believe what she says. There are some mysteries that will never be solved."
