We appreciate the kind comments of Drs Krul and van Leeuwen regarding our study. They suggest that the informational newsletter may have contributed to or interacted with differences among families of low and high SES to reduce age- and sex-standardized BMI (zBMI). The intervention included a behavioral engineering device to reduce sedentary behavior as well as newsletters that were written at the eighth-grade level. It is possible that the newsletter interacted with the behavioral engineering device to reduce television watching and computer use to differentially reduce zBMI. Families of lower SES may have benefitted more from the information in the newsletter than families of higher SES, who may have already known some of this information. Krul and van Leeuwen also note that the families of higher SES showed greater zBMI changes than the families of lower SES, independent of group assignment, and they wonder whether this may have been due to the newsletters. While the families of higher SES did show larger overall zBMI reductions, the differences between the families of lower SES in the intervention group were not significantly different from the differences for the families of higher SES in the control or intervention groups at 2 years (− 0.19, − 0.22, and − 0.27 zBMI units, respectively). Newsletters were provided to both the intervention and control groups, but the newsletters were different between the groups. The newsletter for the intervention group included ideas about how television influences children and suggested ways to modify their environment and also included parenting tips, recipes, and activities, while the control-group newsletter provided no information on television and how it affects children or ways to change one's environment. Research is needed to determine the contribution of the newsletters when combined with a behavioral engineering device for preventing obesity in young children of lower SES and to determine whether families of higher SES could benefit from information provided in the control newsletter to reduce television watching and zBMI without the behavioral engineering device.

Kyle Blanks has always had tantalizing power potential, but never could break through in San Diego. Now he'll get a chance in a new area code.
Blanks, 27, has reportedly been dealt to the Oakland A's in exchange for Triple-A outfielder Jake Gobbert and a player to be named later. He had been optioned to Triple-A with the return of Carlos Quentin a few days ago after batting .200 in 10 at-bats in his latest go-round with the Padres.
Fantasy veterans are well-versed in Blanks' status as a power sleeper. He's hit 33 home runs in 141 Triple-A games spread out over the last five years. He also has 28 homers over 239 major league games, to go along with a .228/.319/.401 clip. Contact hasn't been his strong suit in the bigs – he's struck out in 30 percent of his at-bats. That number was better in the minors, but still just under 25 percent.
It's not entirely clear where Blanks will fit in for the A's. Josh Reddick is also struggling, hitting .228/.291/.333 with just a pair of homers in 37 games, so some time in the outfield is not out of the question. Designated hitter, where John Jaso has filled in the last two games, is also possible, though Jaso and Derek Norris are both hitting at the moment. Brandon Moss is doing well, so first base every day doesn't seem that likely. It's also not out of the question, since Reddick and Moss are lefties, that Blanks initially serves as the righty in a platoon. That would obviously limit his short-term value to just daily leagues.
AL-only owners should gamble on Blanks in case he grabs the full-time gig. Mixed-league owners should wait and see if how much playing time he's afforded before diving in.
And for those who are interested, Goebbert, 26, has not been able to scrape together much in the way of average in the parts of four seasons he's spent at Triple-A. He does walk a little, and has a respectable .371 OBP this season, to go along with a .257 average and .514 slugging. He'll serve as depth in San Diego and is not on the fantasy radar.

J. Arons (University of California)
I show that charged particles in force-free relativistic winds and conical jets from rotating magnetized compact objects undergo linear acceleration, with the particles' energies increasing with distance mc2 \gamma = mc2 (r \sin \theta / RL). Here RL \equiv c/\Omega \; \Omega = the angular velocity and \theta is the colatitude with respect to the rotation axis. This result applies to rotators whose magnetic axes make a non-zero angle with respect to the rotation axis, as well as to aligned rotators. The physical origin of the energy gain will be discussed - it is a consequence of the slow inertial drift of the charged particles across the magnetic field and along the electric field. Possible instabilities of the current sheets in the flow as a source of further acceleration will be indicated, and applications to the energization of pulsar wind nebulae and of AGN and GRB jets will be briefly outlined, as well as to the origin of high energy cosmic rays.

Once again, The News editorial board is interviewing candidates for the Nov. 4 General Election. We interview the candidates so that we can find out about them and make an educated recommendation to our readers before the election.
A candidate doesn't have to interview with us to receive our recommendation. We use every source at our disposal to find out about the candidates, whether they choose to come see us or not. We have a meeting after all the information is in, discuss each race and candidate, then vote on whom the newspaper will recommend. I don't agree with all of our recommendations; I don't think any of us does. But I do appreciate and respect the process, and if I was a voter who wanted to know who the best qualified candidate is, I'd certainly consider the newspaper's recommendations as part of my research.
What do you think? Do you have any particular questions you'd like us to ask the candidates? If so, tell me and I'll ask them. Do you follow newspaper recommendations at election time? Is this something we should be doing?

Antitrust scrutiny of Big Pharma could benefit hospital supply chain
Ruling has the potential to encourage increased development and availability of generic drugs
In a landmark case this June, the U.S. Supreme Court - in FTC v Actavis Inc. - permitted antitrust scrutiny of brand-name drug companies participating in reverse payment settlements, known as "pay for delay" agreements, with firms producing generic drugs.
Some experts suggest the ruling could mean significant cost reductions for hospitals.
Reverse payment settlements are situations where drug patent holders agree to make payments to potential competitors who have threatened to enter the market and challenge the patent holders' right to the patent. The agreements are intended to delay a competitor's entry into the market and maintain the high market price of the patented drug.
Intensified scrutiny of the practice, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in the ruling, will permit examination of payoffs in which the "patentee and the challenger gain; the consumer loses."
The ruling has the potential to encourage increased availability of generic drugs, as well as reduce the development delay of generic forms of new brand-name drugs. Stephen Tambolas, vice president of supply chain and facilities administration at Conemaugh Health System in Johnstown, Pa., believes the positive impact of the ruling could be seen relatively soon in hospitals, where cutting supply costs is key to staying afloat.
Once the word on rulings like this gets out, changes in hospital purchasing "tend to be very quick," Tambolas said. With rising pressures to cut costs without expense to patients, hospitals can't afford to waste any time.
With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act taking hold, and reimbursement reductions in the offing, many hospitals are being forced to cut costs by 10-15 percent, Tambolas noted. A category hospitals are paying closer attention to is discharge costs, he said.
"In today's environment," says Tambolas, hospitals "are becoming more and more accountable for the entire episode of care for a patient."
This is particularly true in the case of Medicare. The Readmissions Reduction Program introduced in late 2012 targets hospitals determined to have excess rates of readmission. If these hospitals readmit a patient within 30 days of discharge, Medicare will not cover the costs of care.
With this new accountability, Tambolas says hospitals are increasingly asking affordability questions of patients being discharged. We ask, "you're going home with this prescription for a drug - can you afford it?" If a person is unable to cover the cost of their medications, he says, "we'll find it's actually worth our while to provide those drugs for free before they leave. It actually becomes an increased cost for that episode of care, but in the long term it's a lower cost for us than taking the readmission and not getting paid for it."
With health systems like Conemaugh giving away such drugs in greater number, a reduction in pharma costs could have a real impact on the bottom line.
Tambolas said Conemaugh is participating in several initiatives designed to reduce costs and increase transparency. For instance, the health system provides its physicians with up-to-date information about the real costs of drugs. Transparency about drug costs encourages doctors to prescribe generics when available, Tambolas said, helping defeat the marketing efforts of pharma company sales reps who often emphasize the negligible benefits of brand name drugs over generics.

Good grief -- I've been wanting a P220 for months!!!!!
September 10, 2010, 11:41 AM
That's an awesome deal, but I would be weary. Look them over really well. Police Officers are well known for not taking care of their service pistols.
The good thing about the Police trade-ins is that the majority of them have been shot very little, but they have a lot of holster wear.
Below is a link to a "Sig Inspection" article on the Gray Guns website. It may assist you in picking out a good Sig.

well here in Houston, I have seen it sold for 450.
I usually buy locally because I can see the condition.

I hate to bring up the rear, but I too, would like to know the dealer's name. I have two P series SIG's, including a nickel 1996 P220, and they are great guns.

EAJ - have you or anybody else ever ordered from Express Police Supply? That's a nice price on the P226.........

The website is vanceoutdoors.com and it is only a 1 day deal. If it doesn't pop up when you go to the site just click the deal of the day banner. It is a local shop near me and I have bought alot of from them. Great guys...Russ
September 10, 2010, 09:23 PM
EAJ - have you or anybody else ever ordered from Express Police Supply? That's a nice price on the P226.........
No, sorry, I haven't. It was advertised in their weekly (email) sales circular. I would purchase one, but prefer the 9mm and already own 3 P226's.
September 10, 2010, 10:26 PM
That is an excellent price for a 220.
We had a police supply house that was selling the 226 9mm for $399 (remember this is in CA), but when they sold out the LGSs were selling the same gun for $450. The 229 is going for $479 and the 220 for over $500
You can't go wrong with a LE trade-in 220 for less than $400...unless you get the one belonging to the rare officer who actually practiced...most will only have holster wear
September 12, 2010, 08:59 PM
I've just sold my XDM, so I think I'm going to take the plunge an order a P229 40 from Express Police Supply. I just emailed them and retired military qualifies for their first responder price, so I might have to check out their new Sig's.............

September 12, 2010, 11:19 PM
Vance's is in Columbus Ohio. They got a whole bunch of I was told State Patrol guns recently. I bought my P220 there. It helps to go in person and select, some have more wear than others. I would have no problems dealing with them, they are the biggest/best priced gunstore in Columbus.
They did have these in the store for $449 with three mags, I guess this was a special deal.
The thing to watch for is wear on the frame rails; Sigs like some wet lube there or you can gall the aluminum rails. Mine was a German made 1996 model with slight holster wear and like-new inside.

Recently we began polling our Facebook fans and Twitter followers to find out which is better, drugstore or department store mascara. There's the obvious difference in price, but does a higher price mean it's a better product?
Personally, the majority of mascaras in my Mocha Moon Perez Beauty Case are a mix of drugtore and department store. I guess that makes me indecisive as to which is better!
We'd love to hear from you! Take our poll below and leave a comment letting us know which mascara brand you can't live without.

I find LashBlast mascaras work as well or better than their pricier dept. store cousins… and since they're inexpensive, I actually replace them when I should.
Shannon Nelson
That's a good point Natasha! I wonder if those who buy the $30+ mascaras replace them every 3 months.
I've done multiple tests for my blog & have found that it can vary across the brands, of course, but for example, the Ulta brand lengthening was actually a little better than Benefit's They're Real & a few other high end brands.
Kristi C. (@lov2read68)
Like Natasha I also like LashBlast (orange tube). At that price point I have no problem replacing every 3-6 mos like I should. There are some higher end mascaras that I do like – Lancome Defincils, Diorshow but I'm not willing to drop that kind of scratch every 3-6 mos! And in the last several years, drugstore mascaras have really upped their game IMO.
Shannon Nelson
Kristi, I love LashBlast too…have you tried their new Clump Crusher? Seriously, no clumping at all! I like to combine both mascaras.
Shannon Nelson
Jean, I've never tried Ulta's mascara, will have to look into it.
Crystal - Beauty or Bust
LashBlast is great, as are several L'Oreal mascaras, but I also love Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara. I generally use drugstore brands for every day looks, and pricier mascaras for special occasions and going out.

Lay Judgments of Judicial Decision-Making
Dan Simon
USC Gould School of Law
Nicholas Scurich
University of California, Irvine
July 18, 2011
Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Forthcoming
USC Legal Studies Research Paper No. 11-17
This exploratory study examined lay people's evaluations of judicial decision-making, specifically of the judicial decision-making process and the judiciary's legitimacy. Seven hundred participants were presented with three judicial decisions, which were portrayed as following on the heels of solid and appropriate legal procedure. Each decision was accompanied by one of four types of reasoning. Participants were asked to evaluate the acceptability of the decisions, focusing on the manner in which they were made and the legitimacy of the decision-maker, regardless of their outcomes. The study yielded four findings. First, lay people's judgments were highly contingent on the outcome of the judges' decisions. Consistent with the theory of motivated reasoning, participants found the decisions highly acceptable when they agreed with the judges' decision, but deemed them relatively unacceptable when they disagreed with them. Second, participants were indifferent to the modes of reasoning when they agreed with the outcomes of the decisions, but were differentially sensitive to the modes of reasoning when the judges' decisions frustrated their preferred outcomes. Third, when participants were sensitive to the modes of reasoning, they gave higher ratings of acceptability to decisions that openly admitted to good reasons on both sides of the case as compared with decisions accompanied by reasons that supported one side of the case exclusively. Giving no reasons at all was found to be more acceptable than giving a single, curt reason. Fourth, the findings replicated the coherence effect. Implications for the legitimacy of the judiciary are discussed.

In a Sutherland Cup Round Robin rematch, the London Nationals got the best of the St. Catherines Falcons. The Nationals exploded for four power play goals in the first period and soared to a 7-4 victory. Blake Thomas recorded a hat trick for London. Aaron Dartch added four assists and Derek Todosichuk scored once and added two helpers.
The Nationals' PP was almost unstoppable going 4 for 5 on the night at the Jack Gatecliff Arena.
The win gives London sole possession of first place in the GOJHL's Western Conference.
The Nats will host St. Thomas on Wednesday at 7:30 at Western Fair Sports Centre.

Police in Daytona Beach said they have arrested a woman who pulled a gun from her bra and robbed a bank.
Authorities said 36-year-old Jennifer Smith was captured on surveillance inside a TD Bank on Nova Road near Beville Road on Monday.
Investigators said a friend drove her to the bank because she wanted to cash a check.
That friend then saw the pictures on television and called police.

^ I dont see whats so funny about it since two of them are having puberty issues and Julia might be injured. Besides it is rather early at 16/14 to wait for them to dominate. But it is not small feat to have 3 of them among the top skaters.
^ I dont see whats so funny about it since two of them are having puberty issues and Julia might be injured. Besides it is rather early at 16/14 to wait for them to dominate. But it is not small feat to have 3 of them among the top skaters.
It's funny because TIME is the only thing they don't have. Boobs and booties don't make those jumps easier for these girls. They have a 6 months window to capitalize on their nonexistent hip. Once those hip start to fill, good bye jumps. Then they would be Leonova #2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...
Didn't she have an injury few weeks before she competed at Finlandia? It seems to soon to have another injury... I hope it doesn't become a pattern... I am not her biggest fan, but I want to see her skate happily in full potential and compete in the future without injuries.
Knowing Julia, she'll want to tough it out and skate anyway, but it would be much better to withdraw if all she ends up doing is worsening the injury or turning out a truly horrible program...
She withdrew because of illness (cold or maybe flu). Illness was absolutely real and began at the beginning of competitions. Her SP was good except fall on 3Lo (no UR, only fall). Before FS she had high temperature and withdrew.
At Junior nationals 2010 she did not withdraw and was 5th.

Sorry to hear that Julia has withdrawn from the French GP. She is a great wee skater, and is a great prospect for the future. So it will be a shame that we will not see her.
But, well done to Julia for being brave enough to accept that she would be better sitting out the competition rather than carrying on and risking hurting herself further. A very mature decision from a very young girl.
However, I do not like the tone that some of the replies in this thread have taken. Frankly, they are making me ashamed to be a member of this forum!
These are teenagers we are talking about - teenage girls at that! We should all know how self-conscious teenage girls are. So, comments like these are exactly what they don't need!
Have the posters of these comments really thought about the effect their words could have on these young girls?! There are already too many teenage female skaters about that look like they could do with a good feed. We do not want to drive these beautiful Russian girls (because they are all beautiful girls) into that category as well!
So, I really hope none of the young Russian girls are reading this thread!
Also, what is wrong with being like Alena Leonova?! I am a massive fan of Alena - to the extent that I was contemplating including her in my user name when I joined this forum. Alena is an absolutely brilliant skater (you don't get 2nd in the World Championships if you are not!) and, as I said in a post I am currently writing for another thread (link to added once I post it), she has a body to die for!!! So, why wouldn't the younger Russian girls want to be like her?!
What makes it seem even worse is that the posters of these replies are experienced members who have been on this forum for years and have made over 6,000 posts between them! Frankly, they should know better!
So, shame on you "fans" that are talking like this. In future, think before you post!
Oh nooooo I was soooo looking forward to see her, and how she does in comparison with Ashley and Liza... I hope there won't be any WDs from NHK, like Yuzuru or something - that would be the last nail in the coffin of this season's GP
Julia is still on the warm up
translations from russian forum:
Tuktamysheva - terrible tango. Immediately starts the other stoorny roller type that used to get there? 3/3t second nedokrut and fell. 2l. Wagner rotation. Tuktamysheva something on the teeth, Helgesson 2p. Lisa - track - oh, in my opinion is the hardest thing today was, until it was and began to pose. Then, of course, it was over. Lipnitskaya 3l/3t (in my opinion) - very cool. Tuktamysheva 2a Tano. Wagner 3 something. Yoshi 3t 2aLipnitskaya 2/2 and fell. Lisa something dirty land. Miete somewhere in bekgrounde rides. Probably. Lipnitskaya 3/3 - a little spun away from the second jump, but good. Lisa 3/2Music of Wagner.
Lisa 3 landed. Lipnitskaya continues 3/3 near the left rim

Sultan's Run Added to French Lick
French Lick Resort has signed a three-year management contract to operate Sultan's Run Golf Course in nearby Jasper, Ind. Sultan's Run will be the fourth course affiliated with the resort.
"I purchased Sultan's Run two years ago with the intent of restoring it back to its previous standing as one of Indiana's top public courses," said course owner Steve Braun. "With our strategic partnership with French Lick Resort and their demonstrated ability to run the top public courses in Indiana, Sultan's will get there quickly."
Sultan's Run opened in 1992 and was designed by Tim Liddy, a former associate of Pete Dye. The course occupies over 224 acres that were the former home of the race horse Supreme Sultan, who sired a record number of world champion American Saddlebred horses.
"We are pleased to add Sultan's Run to the list of French Lick golf options," said Dave Harner, French Lick's director of golf. "With our involvement and ownership's commitment to improving the caliber of the course, we are confident that this arrangement will help to make southern Indiana and French Lick Resort one of America's favorite golf destinations."
The newest course in French Lick's stable will be incorporated into the resort's stay-and-play packages. For more information about Sultan's Run, visit www.sultansrun.com or call 812/482-1009.

Kodak Wants Everyone to Print Photos On Everything
- Mar 10, 2007 5:38 PM EST
- [num] Comments
Kodak hopes a new software package introduced here at the PMA show in Las Vegas will make it easier for the average consumer with no design aspirations to print images in books, on mugs, in calendars, and so forth and so on. This type of software has been tried by many different companies both big and small for a number of years, but I like this new package, Kodak EasyShare Custom Creations. It has a very basic, yet dynamic interface. Kodak hopes this will mean that consumers will be able to complete projects on their own computers, then either download them to a CD and drop off at their local retail store or send via the web. On the retailer's side, the store could either create the project on-site using their own resources or through Kodak's Qualex service, which is where Kodak hopes to make money, since the software is free. For more, check out Kodak's website for more info.

The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products. If saving money and resources is important to you and you are not concerned with minor wear you should consider purchasing off-lease. Off lease products carry limited warranties through the original leasing agent or their third party refurbisher. See below for warranty details.

It's a good strategy to negotiate a sale before the property goes on the market.
BUYING a property before it goes to market, known in the industry as a silent sale, is a great way to maximise your opportunities and should be a part of any property-buying strategy.
For first-home buyers and investors looking to purchase property at the lower end of the market, bidding on properties before they go to market makes sense.
This is a good way to beat the strong competition that these properties tend to attract.
Median-priced properties close to CBDs, transport and leisure facilities will always sell and rent well.
Consequently, these types of properties are subject to strong competition once they are listed, and often sell at auction for 5 to 10 per cent higher than their true market value.
So if your goal is to buy at or below market value, you need to look at properties before they're listed.
Placing a property on the market brings with it marketing and advertising fees, so many vendors ask agents to show the property to their database before they embark on a formal sales campaign.
Other sellers find auctions risky and are nervous about whether buyers will attend or bid and may take a guaranteed offer beforehand rather than running the risk of an unfavourable sale at auction.
Often, professional investors and buyer agents handpick these listings before they go to market and the public gets what's left.
If you want to get ahead of the competition you need to become savvy and learn the techniques of industry professionals.

The S&P500 Dividend Aristocrats (2010 Edition)
|Email Print
The S&P Dividend Aristocrats are companies in the S&P500 index that have increased their dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. Companies on the list have been increasing their dividends since 1984 – meaning they've increased it through the economic malaise of the early 90's, the dot com bubble of the early 2000s, and the worst recession since the Great Depression!
Before you go out and snatch up a few shares of some of these companies, remember that there is only one reason why they are on this list – they have increased their dividends each year for twenty five years. It doesn't mean they are good companies, it doesn't mean they will continue to increase dividends (ten companies dropped from the list in 2009), and it doesn't mean they make good investments. Remember to do your own homework and that past returns are not indicative of future performance.
The S&P doesn't look at dividend coverage (how much of the dividend is covered by cash flow) or the yield, just that the total dollar amount of the dividend has increased every year for at least twenty five years.
Who are the Dividend Aristocrats?
There are currently 43 companies on the Dividend Aristocrats list. They are:
- 3M Co (MMM)
- AFLAC Inc (AFL)
- Abbott Laboratories (ABT)
- Air Products & Chemicals Inc (APD)
- Archer-Daniels-Midland Co (ADM)
- Automatic Data Processing (ADP)
- Bard, C.R. Inc (BCR)
- Becton, Dickinson & Co (BDX)
- Bemis Co Inc (BMS)
- Brown-Forman Corp B (BF/B)
- Centurytel Inc (CTL)
- Chubb Corp (CB)
- Cincinnati Financial Corp (CINF)
- Cintas Corp (CTAS)
- Clorox Co (CLX)
- Coca-Cola Co (KO)
- Consolidated Edison Inc (ED)
- Dover Corp (DOV)
- Emerson Electric Co (EMR)
- Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM)
- Family Dollar Stores Inc (FDO)
- Grainger, W.W. Inc (GWW)
- Integrys Energy Group Inc (TEG)
- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
- Kimberly-Clark (KMB)
- Leggett & Platt (LEG)
- Lilly, Eli & Co (LLY)
- Lowe's Cos Inc (LOW)
- McDonald's Corp (MCD)
- McGraw-Hill Cos Inc (MHP)
- PPG Industries Inc (PPG)
- PepsiCo Inc (PEP)
- Pitney Bowes Inc (PBI)
- Procter & Gamble (PG)
- Questar Corp (STR)
- Sherwin-Williams Co (SHW)
- Sigma-Aldrich Corp (SIAL)
- Stanley Works (SWK)
- Supervalu Inc (SVU)
- Target Corp (TGT)
- VF Corp (VFC)
- Wal-Mart Stores (WMT)
- Walgreen Co (WAG)
Changes for 2010
There were two additions to the Dividend Aristocrats (changes were made on December 18, 2009):
- Brown-Forman Corporation (BF.B) – manufactures, bottles, imports, experts, and markets several alcoholic beverage brands such as Jack Daniel's, Southern Comfort, Finlandia, Korbel, Fetzer, etc.
- Cintas Corporation (CTAS) – most well known as a provider of uniforms through rental and sales but they also provide other specialized products and services to business such as entrance mats, restroom products, first aid, document management, etc.
There were ten removals from the list – Avery Dennison (AVY), BB&T Corp (BBT), Gannett (GCI), General Electric (GE), Johnson Controls (JCI), Legg Mason (LM), M&T Bank (MTB), Pfizer (PFE), State Street Corp. (STT), and US Bancorp (USB). Remember, to remain on the list they have to increase their dividend, just standing pat will get you removed from the list. You might see them come back in twenty five years. 🙂
Poor Legg Mason, they were added when the list was adjusted in December 2008 (it's adjusted every December), and they lasted just one year!
There you have it, the kings of the dividend jungle!

Time Names 100 Most Influential People: Malala, Jennifer Lawrence, Jay-Z, Kim Jong-un
Category: Media & Culture
/ Apr 19, 2013 9:44AM EDT
Handpicked by Time magazine editors from around the world, a list of a hundred of the world's change agents for 2013 are soon to hit the newsstands. Time gathered 100 movers and shakers in different fields such as politics, the arts, science, and technology, who have been standouts in their professions. "Who are the people who are innovating, who are the people who are inspiring fear or admiration, or the utmost respect? And we get a lot of suggestions. We put together a team of editors to hash them out over the next four or five months," are some of the questions that Time magazine executive editor Radhika Jones asked fellow editors from different parts of the world. Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousufzai, took front and center in one of seven magazine covers. Yousufzai was shot by the Taliban for her advocacy of girls' education in Pakistan and currently goes to school in Britain, where she was treated for her injuries. "It remains utterly poignant that she's 15 years old. She simply is trying to get herself an education and advocate for that for girls around the world. I've talked to a lot of parents who say Malala is a real role model for them and for their girls," Jones said about Yousufzai, who is also an international figure as a symbol of resistance to Taliban efforts to deny women's rights. Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence, U.S. senator Rand Paul, and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, also had their turn in the spotlight, as artists, leaders, and titans. Jones and her team's mission was to recognize and reflect the biggest news stories and the people that have been making the headlines. Although, they anticipate that there will be a lot of disagreement and debate about some of the presence of the people in their list. "Some of them are influential in ways that most people would agree are not optimal. We have Kim Jong-un on the list this year. He's been in the news frequently or the last few weeks regarding the nuclear testing that's happening in North Korea," Jones said about their decision to add the North Korean leader to their list. On the other hand, U.S. President Barack Obama made the cut for the eighth time. "He's bringing something to his leadership style, he's pushing a more aggressive agenda. He has changed as a re-elected president and we wanted to bring that out," Jones said about the leader of the free world. The list has five categories: titans, leaders, artists, pioneers and icons. Although artist Jay-Z is widely known in the rap music industry, he was classified as a titan for reasons other than his musical talents. "You know, there are a lot of people who know Jay-Z as a hip-hop artist. He's really solidified his status as a mogul. He's incredibly ambitious as a business person, as an entrepreneur. And we wanted to draw out that side of him," Jones said. Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the World will be available on April 19. Video Source: Reuters

How good were Kindl, Ericsson, Quincey, or even Kronwall 66 games into their career?
Smith unfortunately has to develop on an already inexperienced blueline. Those other guys (especially the first two) got to develop under a very solid defensive corps.
This. I still don't understand why people can't understand this.

Blazers guard Brandon Roy will announce his retirement from the NBA, possibly as soon as today, ESPN.com's Chris Broussard reports.
Roy has been hampered by two degenerative knees, and most believe he would never have returned to the form that saw make three All-Star teams and be named NBA rookie of the year in 2006-07.
Roy made his decision after meeting with doctors on Thursday, a source told The Oregonian. After evaluating Roy's knees, the doctor flatly told Roy, "You can't do this. You might end up not walking."
Roy's knees have been operated on six times and no longer have any cartilage, The Oregonian notes.
Roy played in just 47 games last season, and averaged 12.2 points, 2.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds, all, by far, career lows.

A 4-piece drum miking strategy that's great for live sound reinforcement.
This DP-QUAD 4-piece drum mic kit from Audix contains the D6 bass drum mic, the i5 instrument mic and 2 ADX-90 condenser mics. While some drummers prefer close miking every mounted tom and floor tom, a compelling case can be made for the 4 piece miking strategy. The D6 is a great bass drum mic that sounds great wherever you place it, the i5 picks up the snare with crisp attack and full body, and two overhead ADX51s do a great job of picking up the toms, hi-hat, and cymbals. This 4 piece pack comes equipped with stand adaptors and individual pouches for each microphone.
1 x i5: The i5 works for snare (top or bottom) and toms (it is also an excellent mic for instruments or guitar cabs). It features a protective steel grill, is easy to set up and use, and has a clean accurate sound.
1 x D6: The D6 works for kick drum, floor tom, djembe, cajon and other low-pitched percussion instruments. It features extended low end for larger drums, accurate frequency response, natural sound.
2 x ADX51s: The ADX51 is designed to capture the acoustics of the instrument being miked while at the same time isolating it from the rest of the instruments on stage. It is especially suited to extended mid and high frequency signals.
Enhance your live drum sound with this simple, yet highly effective mic kit from Audix. Order today!

Comments about Audix DP-QUAD 4-Piece Drum Mic Pack:
This is a perfect mic set for both small and large kits. Yes you can close mic every tom, but that really just adds color to these 4 pivotal mics (kick,snare, 2 overheads). I prefer the shape of the AKG D112 as the mic cable on the D6 sticks out quite a bit. The snare (i5) mic is also considerably big esp. compared to the SM57. Comes with a nice case, snare mount, and a multitude of clips, adapters, and windscreens. Excellent value for a professional mic set that won't break your bank account especially if a promotion is running.

What is ScopifyROM?
Explore Museum objects
ScopifyROM is the world's first ScopifyTM smartphone app. It puts digital tools similar to those used by curators and scientists into your hands. Interact with selected museum objects in ways never before possible as you investigate, make discoveries and reveal the larger story each object represents: a story about life, history, or the planet.
Uncover exclusive ROM curatorial secrets by using your smartphone* as a series of "scopes":
- Add skin to skeletons and see what they looked like when alive

- See an object where it was discovered.
Suitable for both adults and families, ScopifyROM offers over a dozen objects to investigate, spread over the ROM's Ancient Cultures, Biodiversity, Fossils & Evolution, Earth & Space, and Canada collections.
Play games
Scopifying the ROM lets you unlock five games:
- Footprints: in this time-sensitive, Mix 'n Match memory style game, users are required to match up footprints to animals as quickly as possible. In a unique ScopifyROM twist, a right or wrong answer leads to a pop-up with more information about the animal they have selected.
- Bat Hunt: an arcade-style game where players let their device come alive in order to fly and steer one of three bats, using echolocation to avoid obstacles and catch prey.
- The other games are Coin Conundrum, Crossbow Defender, and Dino Dig.

No, not yet.
As you may know, the HP TouchPad comes with an ARM processor, so the only way to put Windows 8 on it, it's to install the RT version.
The problem is Microsoft doesn't allow to download - even legally - the .iso file of this version. In other words Windows 8 RT is comes only on OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
But I hope they will -even try- to put W8 on our Touchpad!

Nephew arrested in uncle's shooting death
Jerry King called 911 on Sunday to report incident
Investigators have arrested the nephew of a man who was shot to death in the driveway of his Northern California home.
Sacramento County sheriff's detectives say 31-year-old Jerry King called 911 on Sunday to report his 50-year-old uncle was shot and killed outside the Herald home.
The name of the victim is being withheld because relatives haven't been contacted.
King, whose relationship with his uncle was strained, told investigators he was inside the home when he heard a gunshot outside.
The Sacramento Bee says a gun was found Monday hidden in brush behind the house.
King was arrested Tuesday night and a sheriff's spokesman say he will be booked for investigation of murder.

These days, they may be living separate lives in Los Angeles. But there was a time – not too long ago – when Johnny Depp and girlfriend Vanessa Paradis lit up red carpets and glamorous Hollywood events together.
In fact, in June 2009 at his Public Enemies premiere in London, Depp recalls fondly when he first laid eyes on the French actress, answering an interviewer's question about whether or not he believes in love at first sight.
"Yeah," Depp said at the time. "We've been together for about 11 years and we have two children. [At the time], I saw her back about 30 yards away. I saw her back and her neck. [She] turned around suddenly and looked at me – and I was stupefied."
The actor, who has famously morphed into an eclectic array of characters over his career, also praised his family for their patience with him while he made his films.
"My family have seen more of my movies than I have," Depp said at a press conference for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010. "They've been angels through the process."
Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, are parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9. The couple have not appeared on a red carpet together for more than a year, and sources tell PEOPLE the couple of nearly 14 years has split.
Says one insider: "It's so sad."

Southfork Ranch draws 'Dallas' fans old and new
PARKER, Texas --
The white two-story home with stately pillars overlooking a green Texas pasture where longhorns roam is instantly recognizable: This is the power seat of television's famous Ewing family.
Tourists from around the world have been flocking to Southfork Ranch since the early years of the classic series "Dallas," which ran from 1978 to 1991, and the ranch is only getting more popular. With the premiere last June of a new "Dallas" series, the number of visitors at Southfork has doubled from 150,000 annually to more than 300,000, according to Jim Gomes, general manager of the Southfork Ranch & Hotel and vice president of Forever Resorts, which owns the property.
"We are obviously thrilled the new fans love Southfork as much as the original fans of 'Dallas,'" said Gomes.
The new show starts its second season Monday on the TNT cable channel. The recent death of Larry Hagman, who starred as conniving Texas oilman J.R. Ewing in both the original series and the new show, has also spurred fans to visit.
The 340-acre ranch is located about 25 miles northeast of downtown Dallas in the suburb of Parker. Patrick Duffy, who has returned to the role of J.R.'s brother Bobby, said that the biggest changes since he first filmed on the ranch are new tourist-related buildings and event facilities for weddings and meetings, along with the buildup of the surrounding town, including housing additions and a high school.
But any time he's back at Southfork, it doesn't take long for the magic to take over. "You drive down that road and you look across this pasture and there's the front of Southfork and it looks like the opening credits of the show and I know why people love it so much," Duffy said.
When the series first began filming at Southfork, the family that built the house in 1970 still lived there. And while they hosted tourists as the show's popularity grew, it didn't become an official tourist attraction and event location until 1985 after they sold it. Forever Resorts bought Southfork in 1992.
Most of the shooting for the original series was done in Los Angeles, though some of it was filmed in Texas. The new show is being filmed in the Dallas area -- at locations including the flagship Neiman Marcus downtown and the gleaming Cowboys Stadium.
Visitors start their tour in a museum featuring everything from the gun that "shot" J.R. to scripts from the original series to the wedding dress of Lucy, the niece of J.R. and Bobby, who was played by Charlene Tilton. For those puzzled about the complicated relations of the Ewing family, there's a family tree to peruse.
As tour guides take visitors through the barns and pastures on their way to the house, they point out where scenes from both the old and new series were filmed -- from the cottage where Elena Ramos, played by Jordana Brewster, lives, to the spot from the original series where the funeral was held for Bobby, who was later famously revealed to still be alive. The story of his death turned out to be part of a prolonged dream sequence.
Around the house, the pool and patio have provided spots for countless shots. And while interior scenes for the home on the series were never shot inside the 5,900-square-foot, four-bedroom house, visitors can still walk through and take in the rooms decorated in homage to the Ewings, with rooms reflecting the tastes of different characters.
Sally Peavy, tourism sales manager at Southfork, said scenes from reunion shows have been filmed in the house and that a scene in the second season of the new show was also filmed in one room, though details of the scene have not been revealed.
There's also a restaurant and two gift shops on the grounds. One sells items including hats and belts and has as its centerpiece family patriarch Jock Ewing's silver Lincoln Continental, which features "trunk sales."
Josh Henderson, who plays John Ross, was born in Dallas and spent much of his childhood here. Henderson said that when he got the part of J.R.'s son, his mother informed him that he'd already been to Southfork once, at age 3.
"I don't remember it but my mother definitely made sure I had that information," said Henderson.
Janice Johnstone of Vancouver visited Southfork in November while sightseeing in Dallas. An avid fan of the original series, she enjoyed hearing tidbits from the tour guides.
"I think just hearing the history of how people found out that that's where it was and they had all these people driving by constantly, I thought that was kind of interesting because those are things that you don't hear," she said. "I think it's definitely worthwhile going, anybody who has watched the show I think would really appreciate it."
When Larry White, who lives near Springfield, Mass., was in Dallas in November, a friend drove him by Southfork. Since he had a flight to catch, he didn't have time for the tour, but did make a quick stop in a gift shop and took a picture of the house complete with a longhorn.
"It's just clearly a piece of American history at this point," said White.
