Vance Allen, 26, of 4356 Airline, was bound over for trial Wednesday in two separate cases.
In one, Allen waived a 60th District Court probable-cause hearing on charges of using a computer to communicate with another person to commit a crime; accosting children for immoral purposes; and aggravated indecent exposure.
In the other, after a probable-cause hearing, Judge Michael J. Nolan ordered Allen to stand trial on three counts of child sexually abusive activity and three counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
In both cases, he is charged as a fourth-time habitual offender based on a 2005 conviction on three counts of possessing child porn.
The child soliciting/indecent exposure case stemmed from a Nov. 16 incident that involved Allen chatting with a detective from the Battle Creek area.
Police said Allen exposed himself to the detective while believing he was communicating with a 14-year-old girl. He also allegedly solicited the "girl" for sex.
The second case stemmed from child pornography that detectives said they found on Allen's computer and on a storage device called an "SD card," or Secure Digital Memory Card, during the investigation of the first case.
According to testimony by Norton Shores Police Detective Tony Nanna, police acting on a search warrant seized a mini-laptop computer from a bedroom identified as Allen's in a house he shared with a married couple. They found the card hidden in the back of a picture frame hanging on the wall of the same bedroom, Nanna testified.
Cross-examination by defense attorney Shawn P. Davis focused on the issue of whether investigators could be certain that neither of the home's other occupants had created the images. No fingerprints were obtained from the picture frame, the computer or the card, Nanna testified.
Muskegon Police Detective Kurt Dykman, a specialist in computer-crime investigation, testified about procedures used to determine what images were on the hard drive of the laptop and on the card.
Under cross-examination, Dykman said there was no way to determine who was logged onto the computer at the time the image was apparently transferred to the card.

While most infantile hemangiomas are benign and uncomplicated, a minority may have associated internal involvement that can lead to significant morbidity.1,2 Multiple cutaneous hemangiomas have been recognized as potential markers of underlying hepatic hemangiomas.1- 4 Two recent retrospective studies suggest that infants with large (≥5 cm in diameter) and/or segmental cutaneous hemangiomas are also at risk for hepatic hemangiomas.2,3 These reports have led many clinicians to screen infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas for hepatic hemangiomas. An algorithm for the evaluation and management of hepatic hemangiomas in asymptomatic infants with multiple (≥5) cutaneous hemangiomas, based on retrospective data, has recently been published.4 However, controversy remains regarding the number of cutaneous hemangiomas that should serve as the threshold at which to perform such screening.5 Definitive guidelines regarding the workup for hepatic hemangiomas in asymptomatic infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas, particularly within the first few months of life, are lacking in the literature. The true prevalence of this association is also unknown because, to our knowledge, no prospective studies of infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas have been undertaken. To assess this risk, we report results from a multicenter, prospective study in which infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas were systematically evaluated for hepatic hemangiomas.
Infants aged between 1 and 6 months referred to a pediatric dermatologist with fewer than 5 and at least 1 large hemangioma (>30 cm2) were consecutively enrolled between 2006 and 2008 at 4 Hemangioma Investigator Group sites. This study was a nested study within a larger study looking at infantile hemangiomas with a risk of morbidity related to either size of the hemangioma or number (≥5). Institutional review board approval was obtained at each site. A standardized questionnaire was completed on each infant. The hemangiomas were classified based on morphologic characteristics and size, with size determined by measuring 2 perpendicular surface diameters with a flexible measuring tape. Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography were performed on each infant.
Demographic and clinical characteristics are summarized in the Table. A total of 60 infants with at least 1 large hemangioma (>30 cm2) were enrolled. The mean (SD) hemangioma size was 73.6 (38.4) cm2. At the time of enrollment, all infants were clinically asymptomatic without signs of hepatomegaly, abdominal distention, or congestive heart failure. No hepatic hemangiomas were identified on ultrasonography.
To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to prospectively assess the risk of hepatic hemangiomas in infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas, an association found in none of our patients. It is important to note that study recruitment occurred in pediatric dermatology clinics, which may explain why none of the patients presented with clinically symptomatic hepatic hemangiomas. The predominance of segmental hemangiomas in our report is not surprising because segmental hemangiomas typically have larger surface areas of involvement.6 The preponderance of term infants is explainable because unlike localized and multiple hemangiomas, which are more common in preterm infants, segmental hemangioma incidence is not affected by gestational age.7
Our findings suggest that infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas (>30 cm2) may not be at an increased risk for concomitant hepatic hemangiomas as initially reported in the literature and as seen in infants with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas. Hughes et al3 retrospectively reported the cases of 25 infants with solitary, large (≥5 cm) cutaneous hemangiomas, 3 of whom had clinically asymptomatic hepatic hemangiomas identified on abdominal ultrasonography (12%). Metry et al2 also noted the association of hepatic hemangiomas and solitary segmental cutaneous hemangiomas in a retrospective report of 4 cases of patients with segmental cutaneous hemangiomas and a literature review of 47 others; however, no prevalence could be estimated since all infants had visceral hemangiomas. The authors recommended that infants with solitary, segmental cutaneous hemangiomas be screened for visceral involvement when clinically indicated.
Based on the results of the present study, routine screening ultrasonography for hepatic involvement in asymptomatic infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas may not be necessary unless clinically indicated. However, because some infants may present with significant hepatic hemangiomas with few or no cutaneous hemangiomas, and until the true risk of this possible association is known, infants with large cutaneous hemangiomas should continue to be clinically monitored, especially during the first 6 months of life when the risk of complications associated with hepatic hemangiomas is considered to be the greatest. Signs or symptoms suggestive of hepatic hemangiomas that would indicate the need for further workup include a history of poor growth or feeding, tachypnea, cardiac murmur, abdominal distention, or hepatomegaly.

A lot of people have been asking me what the next book in the ARSON series is about. Is it epic? Is there gonna be tons of action scenes? Who's gonna die? And I've been pretty mum about the topic. The main reason for this is because I'm a really big jerk who likes to watch you squirm. There, now that we're all just being honest…
This last apocalyptic blizzard kinda got me thinking about ARSON. When I started writing it, I had no idea what it would one day become. I realize that sounds somewhat cheesy or cliché, but it's the God's honest truth. Originally, it had a different title and was going to begin and end with just one book. But after a few conversations, the ARSON universe expanded, and stuff started getting even more interesting. I think one of the main concepts in my series is the idea of duality and wearing masks. It's one of those themes that shows up even when he's not invited, which must mean that I'm wrestling with it at the subconscious level. (Feel free to now start analyzing my dysfunctional author brain at any time.) But this thread of masks, and how we wear them, this thread of identity—and what that really means—this notion of two-sidedness, just leaps off the page, and really gets me thinking about my own life. What does this have to do with a Northeast blizzard? Well, a lot.
Humans are kinda weak. You can say I'm nihilistic or cynical or whatever, but we really are. I can't tell you how many times I've just been walking and twisted my knee/ankle or been working out (ladies…) and threw out my shoulder or been overly freaked out about getting into a car accident because one head-on collision could spell the end of evega. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. How about stubbing your toe in the middle of the freaking night or banging your shin because you tripped walking up the stairs? (Yes, I am that lame.) And I'm not even gonna begin to dive into topics like lost love or abandonment issues and what that can do to screw up a once functioning psyche. The bottom line is we're fragile creatures. If you don't believe me, go shovel for five hours and then the next day do it again and then we'll talk. We have a limit and then a breaking point. We get exhausted. We work and then our bodies pay for it later. We invest our love and energies into a relationship or a business or a faith, and a lot of times, we find ourselves falling flat on our faces, feeling isolated and defeated.
But there is another side to that coin. There is a part of us that fights it, isn't there? A part that knows it sucks and chooses to keep warring, to endure through the struggle and the sorrow and the fear. This duality is so very real; at times it scares me because I know my heart and mind are capable of the darkest things (most of which I write about, lucky you…or maybe, unfortunate you?), but my heart and mind, like yours, is capable of the good too, an action—an art—in and of itself. We'll never be perfect, at least not in this world, but we can choose to keep fighting. To endure this insane game where at times we are the hypocrite and at times we are the saint. This is the frustrating, painful, invigorating, powerful, fruitful, failing, chaotic arena called life. Because in this struggle, we are purged and we become. This is power, when humanity becomes something more. Sometimes this is a bad thing, and sometimes it's not. I guess it depends who's holding the power and at what stage in their life they're currently residing. There, chew on that for a while, peeps.
What's ARSON PART TRES about? A lot. It seeks to answer some questions, but probably not all of them. After all, I can't give you everything. The main point of this book, and this series, I'm learning, is about getting to the souls of these characters, to the souls of humanity. Giving them justice and hope. It's about rediscovering who you are, about fighting until there's nothing left. Yes, there are cool, intense fight scenes and remarkable secrets coming to light, one of which is a nifty little…oh, not yet. And yes, there still is that hint of romance, though ish has the potential to get mighty complicated, for sure. Yup, some peeps might have to bite the bullet, as they say. But these are all things you've come to expect in a third book, right? To set your minds at ease, no, it will not suck. I've already written more than half of it, and things are getting pretty crazy.
Thanks for stickin with me. There's gonna be some surprises with this one. Promise.
Be fearful of the thoughts of men…Be wary of the traps of the end.

Yeah, I was mad when I wrote this, but I stand by it.
Now I hear with the economic bailout plan we could have actually purchased these companies 10 fold, yet we're giving them money so they can horde it. Now they are asking for more.
**** the big three. They are a bad business and they deserve to go down to the Japanese manufactures who employ Americans to build their cars in America. The big three have worked every angle to screw over America for the past 30 years. They have consistently been caught with design flaws that killed people, look up the ford pinto case, opposition to seatbelt requirements ect... The workers dont deserve to be out of a job but I heard a representative claim that their problems are caused by the UNIONS, are you serious??? Yeah the unions make Americans not want your **** cars, instead we want Japanese cars because there are no union workers in Honda plants, OH WAIT...

The collection grows5 2
Having a small number of shots like 12, 8, 6 on a roll with cameras like the Belair and Spinner, I wondered if there was a solution that would see me spend more time shooting and less time reloading film. A quick ebay browse later and I decided on the Holga 135TIM Half Frame Camera. There was something about the crazed "smile" on the yellow body. That and the fact it will get me 72 shots on a standard 36 exposure roll. Happy days to come!

Sorry about the lack of exact measurements, I eyeball everything when I cook.
What you will need:
Food processor
Couple chicken breasts, baked and shredded
Cooked ground chorizo
crumbled goat cheese (cheddar would also work)
18 eggs
fresh cilantro
fresh oregano
green onions
chipotle peppers in adobo
fresh garlic
smoked paprika
ground red pepper
salt & pepper
unrefined palm oil and/or light olive oil
-Set aside a few egg yolks for the aioli.
-Put all of the spinach and half of your cilantro, oregano, garlic, and green onions in a food processor, add the majority of your eggs and remaining egg whites and blend until eggs are completely yellow. Combine this mixture with the chorizo, chicken, goat cheese, and spices. Pour into a muffin tray, pie tin, or cookie sheet, and bake at 325 until eggs have set. I believe mine took about 20-25 minutes, but you'll need to watch it to be sure. Remove when still slightly undercooked, since residual heat will finish the eggs.
-For the aioli, put your egg yolks in the food processor (make sure you have enough that they're touching the blades), and blend while slowly drizzling in olive oil. When the mixture has emulsified, but is still runny, add palm oil until you reach your desired thickness. Throw in the rest of your cilantro, oregano, garlic, green onions, chipotle peppers, spices and blend.

Harmeet Kaur, an aide to Councilwoman Melissa Noriega, will finish her final day of work at City Hall on Thursday by organizing a candlelight vigil in honor of those slain in the Wisconsin Sikh temple shootings.
The vigil will be by the City Hall reflecting pool starting at 6:45 p.m. Kaur said the local Sikh Coalition has already received 400 RSVPs on its Facebook page. Mayor Annise Parker plans to participate.
"Our main goal right now is education and awareness," the lack of which is why the shootings happened, Kaur said. "The motive is still unclear, but it's clear we were singled out."
She started the education with this tidbit: "99 percent of turbaned Americans are Sikhs."
Kaur will be attending law school at the University of Houston.

KKCenterHK sent me two types of lashes for review purposes quite some time ago and I will review the upper lashes first. If you like length and natural types, these might be for you :)
These lashes are very suitable for a long fluttery eye look. They are thin and light so volume isn't the main purpose of these, though they do add a bit of volume. The length factor of these are just great though! Also, the lash ends are long and can easily be pushed down for that droopy lash effect that many like :)
unless you aren't a fan of cross types lashes or aren't aiming for length over volume.
But they do have a large variety of lashes and you can still definitely check out their store to see what's available:
Valid until Jan. 31st 2013
That's it for today.
More circle lens reviews coming up next!

Is there a Flash flood coming?
Subject: General Tech | March 25, 2013 - 12:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: spintronics, racetrack, pram, molybdenum, micron, memristor, IBM, hp, graphene, flash
Over the past several years we have seen actual production of phase change memory from Micron, though no benchmarks yet, transistors whose resistance can be altered to be used as non-volatile storage which HP has dubbed Memristors and IBM's Spintronic Racetrack Memory; all of which claim to be the replacement for NAND. There is no question we need a new type of flash, preferably non-volatile, as it is likely that there will be a limit on effective speed and density reached with traditional NAND. It is also true that the path to our current flash technology is littered with the carcasses of failed technology standards, whether RAMBUS is willing to admit it or not.
Now there is more details available on yet another possible contender based on molybdenum disulfide which sports a charge-trapping layer to make it non-volatile. The Register was told that by layering MoS2 between layers of graphene they get a NAND cell smaller than traditional cells but unfortunately there was no report of the speed of these cells. We may soon be living in interesting times, with process shrunk traditional flash and these four technologies competing for market share. You can bet that they will not be compatible and that each will likely spawn their own breeds of controllers and make purchasing SSDs and other flash storage devices much more complicated, at least until one standard can claim victory over the others.
"A Swiss government research lab has reinvented flash memory using graphene and molybdenite in a way that should be faster, scale smaller, use less energy and yet more flexible than boring old NAND.
Molybdenite is MoS2, molybdenum disulfide, which is similar to graphite and also has a lubricating effect. Atomically it is a layer of molybdenum atoms between top and bottom layers of sulfide atoms. It is a semiconductor and can be used to create transistor."

HP Announces New 14" Chromebook
Subject: General Tech | February 5, 2013 - 07:08 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: pavilion 14, hp, google, Chromebook
HP recently launched the Pavilion 14 Chromebok, which is a notebook running Google's Chrome OS operating system and suite of web applications. The Pavilion 14 Chromebook is a 14" laptop measuring 0.83-inches thick and weighing 3.96 pounds.
The new Chromebook is based on one of HP's existing Windows laptops–the Sleekbook 14-b010us. It features a 14" screen with a resolution of 1366x768, full qwerty keyboard and track pad, and a webcam.
External IO includes:
- 3 x USB 2.0
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x Ethernet (10/100)
- 1 x Card reader
- 1 x Headphone jack
The system is powered by a dual core Intel Celeron 847 clocked at 1.1 GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a 16GB solid state drive (SSD). Dual-band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 radios are included, but unlike other Chromebooks there is no cellular connectivity out of the box. Further, Google is providing 100GB of Google Drive cloud storage for free (for two years). HP estimates system battery life at 4.25 hours.
The Pavilion 14 Chromebook is available now on HP's website for $329.99. That makes it one of the most expensive Chromebooks on the market. Chrome OS has come a long way, and even includes a minimal desktop. The hardware looks nice, but I would have liked to see a higher resolution display along with cellular modem for the price, however. It will be interesting to see how well the larger 14" form factor sells.

While consumers know HP for its substantial market share in the world of desktops and notebooks, perhaps more important to HP's bottom line is the company's server and workstation business. While we all know what servers do there might be some confusion about what a workstation is and what it does.
Workstations are usually defined as computers used by content creators and despite that fact that you burned that DVD of your family vacation, that's not quite the same. Brands like Xeon, Quadro, FirePro and Opteron are what you will find different in a workstation class computer versus a standard computer or laptop. And while technology enthusiasts will debate the actual differences between these components, the fact is that the market demands them.
Today we are taking a quick look at the HP Z1 Workstation, a unique workstation in that it resides in the shell of an all-in-one computer. But not just your normal AIO - this is a 27-in 2560x1400 display with a chassis that opens up for easy access to components inside.
Once we show you how the processor, SSD, Quadro graphics and everything else works inside I think you will see the appeal of this kind of system even for professionals that require the stability and software support of a workstation class device. Check out our Video Perspective below and then continue on for some more photos and benchmark results from the HP Z1 Workstation!
The side profile shows the HP Z1 is slim enough but still holds a lot of hardware.
You'll find two USB 3.0 ports, Firewire, audio connections and a card reader near the bottom.
The power button, activity lights and eject button live up top.

HP Becomes Platinum Member of Linux Foundation
Subject: General Tech | November 7, 2012 - 11:51 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: servers, linux foundation, linux, hp, hardware
The Linux Foundation announced today that PC OEM Hewlett-Packard (HP) is upgrading its membership status to Platinum – highest level of membership. HP joins Fujitsu, IBM, Intel, NEC, Oracle, Qualcomm Innovation Center, and Samsung.
As a Platinum member, HP will have a seat on the Linux Foundation's Board of Directors and will be able to influence the future direction of the organization. Reportedly, the OEM is making Linux a priority and is looking to further integrate the open source software into its hardware offerings. For $500,000 a year, HP will also be given priority at events like LinuxCon. HP's branding will also be on the Linux Foundation site and as sponsors at any events.
According to Jim Zemlin, the executive director of The Linux Foundation:
"With one of the richest and most recognized stories in technology, HP has a history of innovation and market success. Because of this history and innate knowledge of software development, HP understands that Linux and collaborative development can benefit its business across its product portfolio. We're looking forward to the work we can accomplish with HP."
It is certainly an interesting move, and hopefully one that means HP wants to commit more to the direction of Linx and its adoption on HP hardware. You can find the full press release on the Linux Foundation's website.
HP isn't out of the tablet business yet
Subject: General Tech | August 20, 2012 - 03:51 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: hp, tablet, webOS
According to what The Register has heard HP and webOS are headed back into the tablet business. After HP relinquished their hold on webOS and made it open source, as well as the PSG stop developing the TouchPad, it was thought that HP was done with tablets. A new branch of HP has been recently created, bearing the name Mobility Global Business Unit, which has spawned numerous questions about their plans. Will they design an ARM based tablet or look to another supplier? Will they use webOS or perhaps MeeGO as the operating system, which will run on ARM? So far we have more questions than answers so hopefully HP will publish an official announcement some time in the near future.
"If you thought HP's decision to spin off its webOS division into a new subsidiary signaled the end of its adventures in the mobile market, think again. According to reports, the PC maker is reshuffling its Personal Systems Group to launch a new business unit aimed at getting HP back in the tablet race."

Introduction and Design
Just when you thought that books would stop being ultra
Subject: General Tech | June 26, 2012 - 02:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ultrabook, Ivy Bridge, hp, dell
About the only nice thing to be said about the Ultrabook is that it is doing better than the previous CULV form factor Intel tried. While there are a group of consumers who praise the Ultrabook, the machines never actually lived up to the specifications Intel used to define an Ultrabook. Battery life and size have for the most part lived up to the design specifications but boot time and price certainly have not ... at least at the same time. The inclusion of an SSD capable of quickly resuming from sleep tends to move the price north of the $1000 price limit, as do the materials used in the chassis to keep the size and weight down.
Ivy Bridge is helping, as the price of the processor comes down as does the thermals but DigiTimes suggests that this may be overshadowed by a shortage of both thin screens and metal chassis which will offset any reduction in processor expense. That hasn't stopped Dell who have announced two new Ultrabook models, the XPS 14 base model has an i5-3317U, 4GB DDR3-1333 and a 500GB HDD for about $1200 or the larger XPS 16 whose base model has an i5-3210M and a GT 630M as well as a HDD which will go for roughly $750-800USD. Both models are over 2kg and neither truly fits the definition of an Ultrabook nor does The Inquirer find anything more attractive about them than a Macbook. They are better than the HP Envy which was recently released at $600 which is inexpensive but as Matt Smith pointed out, that AMD A-Series in that Envy sleekbook is going to disappoint a lot of buyers when it comes to performance.
"Dell's range of XPS laptops, which are now labeled as ultrabooks in order to keep in step with Intel's latest branding, has been headed by the well received XPS 13, however the company has significantly updated its XPS 14 and introduced the XPS 15. According to the firm the XPS 14 is all about battery life while the XPS 15 is pitched at those who want to do content creation and video playback."

HP Updates EliteBook Lineup With Ivy Bridge Notebooks
Subject: Mobile | June 4, 2012 - 03:03 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: notebook, Ivy Bridge, hp, elitebook, business
HP has updated its EliteBook lineup by adding three new Ivy Bridge powered notebooks. The 14" 8470W, 15.6" 8570W, and 17.3" 8770W notebooks all pack either dual core Core i5 or quad core Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors and discreet graphics cards. They will each be available for purchase in June for prices starting at $1,329, $1,449, and $1,699 USD for the 8470W, 8570W, and 8770W respectively.
HP has announced an update to its business W-series EliteBook lineup that includes Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors and recent discreet graphics cards. The new EliteBooks nestle the hardware in a dust resistant magnesium aluminum chassis with other nice features like glass touchpads and aluminum-alloy hinges. The 15.6" and 17.3" models can further be outfitted with an optional IPS "HP DreamColor" display. Other technology supported by the EliteBook W-series includes Intel's Smart Response Technology, SRS Premium Sound PRO, and HP Performance Advisor.
The HP 8470W notebook features a 14" diagonal HD display (though the press release did not state a specific resolution), an Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor, and AMD FirePro workstation-class graphics. The HP 8570W and HP 8770W are larger versions of the EliteBook line that can be upgraded beyond that of the HP 8470W with SSD options, Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors, NVIDIA Quadro Kepler-based series graphics, and IPS displays. The new notebooks also support USB 3.0 and up to 32GB of DDR3 1600MHz RAM.
The three notebooks will be available later this month for prices starting at $1,329 for the HP 8470W, $1,449 for the 8570W, and $1,699 USD for the 8770W. Personally, they are bit too "boxy" looking for my liking, but they otherwise look pretty sleek (I am really liking the brushed metal texture and laptop lid design) for business-class machines! More photos of the HP laptops can be found here.
HP to cut 27k jobs over 2 years. More depressing layoff news.
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Mobile | May 26, 2012 - 03:10 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: hp
ZDNet reports that HP will cut 27,000 jobs over the next two years which represents approximately 8 percent of their global staffing. The company claims that it will take those savings -- which are expected to be slightly over 3 billion dollars -- and re-invest them in research and development.
Yes that is right: 27k as in 27,000 jobs over two years.
CEO Meg Whitman made a statement that over the next couple of years HP will cut around eight percent of their workforce to refocus on research and development. They expect that with their projected cuts they will be able to recover $3-3.5 billion from wages to spend on their research into "cloud and big data" technologies.
Let us hope that they can keep their projected revenue even with the lessened workforce.
So many printers -- but none print money.
And let us just think about the announcement for another second. The expectation is to lay off all those employees over the course of two years to reduce the short-term morale dip.
So instead you have practically all of your employees dust off their resumes in case their Russian roulette chance is not an empty chamber?
Congratulations HP -- you now probably have a company full of paranoid personnel.
Once again the loss of jobs is under 10 percent and thus I hesitate to make any guesses about the health of HP as a company. My general rule of thumb is that you can very loosely tell how bad a company is off depending on how many employees they lay off percentage wise. Up to approximately 10 percent is tragic but somewhat standard restructuring for a larger company. Up to 30 percent is seriously hard times. Approximately 100 percent means the company is either attempting to reboot or get picked apart for liquidation.
Again, that is just my rule of thumb when I look at these stories.
Reasonably priced memristors may be coming soon thanks to a botched LED experiment
Subject: General Tech | May 23, 2012 - 01:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: hp, memristor
Over two years ago we heard about a project at HP to design a memristor, a possible future replacement for non-volatile flash memory. The actual resistance of a memristor component can be changed, allowing it to be used as an effective storage medium due to the incredibly short time that it takes for the medium to be written to or read. That speed was measured in picoseconds when last we heard about advances with this storage medium, just before Christmas. One of the main hurdles that HP has been facing with adoption of the memristor was the price, but thanks to a failed experiment designing silicon oxide LEDs that may no longer be a problem. The Register reports on the experiment which seemed to have developed unstable LEDs but when one of the designers investigated the problem further he realized the film they had created predicatably flipped between conductive and non-conductive states as power was applied. HP's memristors may be arriving sooner than we had thought.
"The HP-popularised memristor device is a form of ReRAM – resistive RAM – and is fairly expensive to make. Metal oxide-based ReRAM technology promises to combine minimum memory speed with NAND non-volatility and be able to provide higher capacities than NAND, which is thought will cease to be usable as process geometries go down past 10nm. ReRAM dies will need less electricity to run and will take up less space than equivalent capacity NAND."

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 9 -- You're backstage, well-rehearsed and ready to go. You've got power and charm to inspire. Sometimes it's even more effective from the wings. Have another person succeed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- A lazy morning hits the spot. What adventure for today? You know the right road to take, so go for it. A little sweat seems a small price for such fun. Get out and move.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- As long as you're going through a pensive phase, you might as well consider new career opportunities. Thinking outside of the box is highly recommended.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Speak your heart's desire, but don't forget to stop and listen. Communication goes both ways. You find treasure in a friend's words. Let them know.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Finances could pose a challenge today. Focus on doing what you love and try not to worry about the money. Keep in action, and it will come. Value your work highly.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- A surprise reveals a fresh perspective, much to your amazement. Don't worry about the work ahead. Check the money angle and make adjustments. The outcome is brilliant.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 5 -- If travel has been on your mind for a while, don't delay. Pack lightly and hit the adventurous road. It doesn't have to cost much. A picnic would satisfy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Stop and smell the roses. Meditation provides some answers (and peace) during challenges today. Good fortune comes along with change. It gets easier by afternoon.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Don't make decisions about money, if you can avoid it, but keep bringing in new ideas for increased productivity at work. The details will sort themselves out.

Federal prosecutors allege that reputed mob associate James Martino attempted to hire a contract killer on behalf of a colleague to whack a purported child molester as reported by Eric Heisig for Cleveland.com:
The colleague wanted a "former" family member killed for sexually assaulting a child, according to the complaint, and Martino arranged an introduction in April 2013 with someone he thought was a hit man. But the hit man was actually an FBI informant, who helped the FBI to foil the plot.
Of course, if the supposed child molester were an actual wise guy, then the mob would have let it pass as boss Vito Genovese did for soldier Salvatore Granello.

God emptied his cosmic bucket on Auckland the day I collected Triumph's Trophy SE, water coming down so thick and fast the motorway disappeared, signs receded into the murk and cars pulled over to wait.
Me? I switched the heated seat to high, set the heated handlebar grips to "toasty", and flicked the switch to lower the windscreen enough to see over it, as rain sluicing both screen and visor cut vision to an unacceptable degree.
Then I dialled the radio to a news channel for the weather forecast and pointed the Trumpy's nose east, towards a brightening sky.
Given bad weather and a deadline, a top-spec tourer is the way to go; you'll still get wet but your luggage, snug inside lockable panniers, stays dry while your warm butt and fingers create an illusion of comfort to keep your brain on the job.
Which is fortunate, for when the tyres began to aquaplane and the 301kg behemoth to weave sinuously down the road, my reflexes remained sufficiently sharp to recover the mighty beast, aided by the Trophy's wide bars, beautiful balance, and a set-up that stresses control and underplays weight.
Without heated grips my hands would've been too numb to respond at speed, but what happened to the stability control that should help keep the big bike upright? Seems that while setting the electronic suspension from "two passengers and luggage" to "solo rider" I'd also accidentally disabled it, leaving me in sole charge of this $36,990 machine. Perhaps next time I'll read the instructions, but I was too keen to get going - eager to see how the Explorer's 1215cc three-cylinder engine would work in a tourer.
Triumph altered the engine's tune for this application to deliver a whisker less power over a broad rev range, with 100Nm of the 120Nm total on tap anywhere from 2500 to 9800rpm, neatly overlapping the 8900rpm at which the 99kW power peak arrives.
While not keen to get too vigorous with the throttle in the wet, I soon confirmed the Trophy pulls strongly from low revs, isn't too fussed about inept gear choice, and will cruise comfortably at 100 for hours, which is handy given the 4.7l/100 average I achieved allows over 500km on one 26-litre tank.
The Trophy's designed as a tourer capable of corner carving, with steep lean angles promised. It certainly feels stable at even slow speeds but it's a bit less tractable when you stop, for it carries its 301kg a tad high for this short rider, even with the 31-litre panniers and optional ($948) 55-litre top box empty.
And unlike Honda's admittedly much heavier Goldwing, there's no reverse. It doesn't have many of the Honda's other goodies either, but the trade-off is the lighter weight, and enough features to please most. There's that radio, the heated seat and grips, Bluetooth, a USB port and iPod compatibility, a tyre pressure monitoring system and a power socket in the glovebox to charge your phone, plus one of the best screens in the business. At least, the $549 after-market touring screen is. It's wider and taller than standard and adjustable across a super-wide range to suit both shorties and beanpoles.
Were this my bike I'd spring the $669 for the heated rider seat and $379 for the grips, plus that screen; I'd dispense with the top box as the panniers carry enough for most purposes, and negotiate favours from my pillion in exchange for the $599 heated passenger pew.
Then I'd wait for a fine day to ride it - for though it proved a well-specced tourer and is perhaps the only bike to manage a deluge in reasonable comfort, those conditions were far from a two-wheeled touring ideal.

He's not even 2, his short term memory is VERY limited. We do cold turkey. It's always easier to just get rid of it and be done with it. He may have a tough night or 2 but kids are very adaptable. As long as you give it to him at all, he won't forget about it. With that said, we let our son keep his until he was 3 (he had it only for sleeping after he was 18 months). The dentist said it was fine. If you want to get rid of it, get rid of it. If things are working with it, it won't hurt his teeth or anything to have it for another 6 months or so...
Just take it away. Simple as that. We took my son off of his paci at 1 year and we just cut him cold turkey and he fussed for about 3 days and then he got over it. When my daughter was born, he would try and use hers and we reminded him that paci's are for babies and hes not a baby, hes a big boy and he stopped.
He's going to cry either way, hang in there. He will forget about it after a few days, I promise! :)
Quoting Nikkijessie:I guess I just need to suck it up and take it away. His teeth have already curved around the paci so I thinks I just need to do it now. Thanks I was just worried about him going crazy because we don't give it to him. I tried before n he screamed all night and woke up in the middle of the night crying n I caved n gave it to him. I'll try wearing him out tommarow and see if he makes it without his paci I won't cave this time
cold turkey. Dont slowly do it. He will get over it. i promise. dont give in. Just do it
Our oldest DS gave up the bottle and binky at 10 months old when he got RSV. Then with our youngest DS, we took the binky away completely around 5-6 months I believe, just because we didn't want to fight him later on when he got older. We took the bottle away around 13-14 months with him. Taking it away cold turkey worked best for us and sure it makes for a looong few days but you just have to stick with it. It will get better, I promise :) With this baby, we will take the binky away around 6 months or so again and bottle around a year old again. Good luck and just stick with it and be strong!! ;)
mine never took one, thank God.

By GARRY BROWN
Baseball's trading deadline came a little early this year.
It's really July 31, but when the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs grabbed front-line pitching well ahead of schedule, there went much of the drama usually reserved for deadline day.
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired CC Sabathia on July 7. A day later, Rich Harden also joined the National League Central race when the Chicago Cubs got him (along with Chad Gaudin) from the Oakland Athletics.
So where does that leave the other contenders? More to the point, where does that leave the Boston Red Sox?
Given the state of their farm system, the Sox aren't likely to make a big move at the deadline. General manager Theo Epstein has shown that he can deal in deadline drama when the need arises, as he did in 2004 when he dumped one of Back Bay's darlings, Nomar Garciaparra.
In came Orlando Cabrera to play short, Dave Roberts to back up the outfield, Doug Mientkiewicz to back up at first base. It was a whirlwind of activity, one which reshaped the Sox for their run to a world championship.
Of course, there can be deadline clunkers, too, as in Epstein's acquisition of Eric Gagne last July. The Sox won another world championship in spite of that deal.
The chances of Epstein making a major move depend on the health of David Ortiz. Boston's resident designated slugger who is now taking rehab swings with Pawtucket, with the hope of having him back in the No. 3 spot by July 25. That just happens to be opening night of a Fenway Park series with the New York Yankees.
If Papi's good to go, there would be no need for a big plunge into the trade mart. If the Sox have any questions about him, though, they could go to Plan B by trying to land Mark Teixeira, a switch-hitting power man who likely will be made available by the Altanta Braves.
Even if Big Papi's OK, the Sox could make a move for an extra bat. One veteran National League scout says that could be Raul Ibanez, a veteran left-handed hitter now playing in obscurity with the Seattle Mariners.
The Sox also could look for help at shortstop and in the bullpen (lefty Brian Fuentes?).
And how about the Yankees? They usually can be counted on to add big names (and big money) at the trading deadline, but their times are changing. Hammerin' Hank Steinbrenner, son of George, has said that the Yankees like their farm system and want to keep building from within. We shall see. If the Yankees don't do well in that July 25-27 series with the Red Sox, they could feel the need to do something dramatic at the deadline.
As for the AL's division leaders, they all seem to be pretty well set, but watch out. With bold traders like Epstein around, you just never know.

Manufacturing productivity in the second quarter
August 19, 2003
Productivity in the manufacturing sector—as measured by output per hour of all persons—grew 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2003.
Manufacturing productivity's growth in the second quarter reflected a decline in output of 2.1 percent and a decline in hours of 6.1 percent. In the previous quarter, productivity in manufacturing rose 4.0 percent, reflecting decreases in output and hours of 0.7 and 4.5 percent, respectively.
In durable goods manufacturing, productivity rose 3.8 percent in the second quarter as output dropped 3.1 percent and hours of all persons fell 6.7 percent. In nondurable goods manufacturing, second-quarter productivity increased by 4.4 as output declined 1.0 percent and hours fell 5.2 percent.
These data are from the BLS Productivity and Costs program. Data are subject to revision. For more information, see the "Productivity and Costs, Second Quarter 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-411—note that there are corrections to this news release for fourth quarter 2002 and first quarter 2003 data for manufacturing and nonfinancial corporations. This Editor's Desk article was revised on August 29, 2003, to reflect these corrections.

NAME: Michael Blakemore
DESCRIPTION: A triple threat in "Country Life."
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: Seasoned stager taps Chekhov for laughs.
Playing a boor and a lech who also happens to be a hypochondriacal theater critic in Miramax's "Country Life" might be construed as Michael Blakemore's way of getting even with the breed. After all, he wrote the part in his free adaptation of "Uncle Vanya," and he directed the film as well, moving Chekhov's rural Russian family to New South Wales following the end of the first World War.
But in truth, Blakemore has rarely suffered at the hands of critics. As a young man he moved to London from his native Sydney after three years of studying medicine (another Chekhov parallel) to pursue an acting career, spending several seasons on tour and at Stratford. That period in his life was rich enough to provide the material for "Next Season," his first (and thus far only) novel, about a life in the theater. The book was published 25 years ago and is just now being reissued by Applause Books.
It is as a director of West End and Broadway shows, however, that Blakemore made his mark, beginning in 1967 with Albert Finney in Peter Nichols' "A Day in the Death of Joe Egg" and continuing up to the present with a series of acclaimed productions, from Michael Frayn's "Noises Off" to the complex musical comedy "City of Angels" to the current Off Broadway hit "Death Defying Acts," a triad of one-act plays by David Mamet, Elaine May and Woody Allen.
Blakemore concedes that turning Chekhov's third-rate academic Serebryakov into the equally third-rate critic Alexander Voysey was "a bit of naughtiness." But the role was written for Nigel Hawthorne. He, Greta Scacchi, who plays Alexander's beautiful young wife, and Sam Neill, who plays a hard-drinking, conservationist country doctor, all were committed to the film for years. But Hawthorne scored with "The Madness of George III" on stage and in its film incarnation as "The Madness of King George," and so when the $3 million "Country Life" finally went before the cameras in Australia two years ago, Blakemore took over the role.
While "Country Life" has more comedy than "Uncle Vanya," the film is "not un-Chekhovian," Blakemore insists: "His farces are savagely funny."
Savagely funny is also one way to describe "Central Park West," the Allen play that is the ballast of "Death Defying Acts," the biggest Off Broadway hit of the past season.
Some critics found its nastiness central to a brilliant, bitter comedy. Others found it hard to swallow – and too redolent of the public breakup of Allen's relationship with Mia Farrow. When Blakemore calls it "shockingly vulgar," he means it in the nicest way.
"It's like a Restoration comedy," he says. "It concerns an elite group of people with enough money and enough time to get into trouble in their private lives. It's about people who are constantly justifying their deplorable behavior."
But "Country Life" proved to be a more personal undertaking than most of his projects. "It's the most overpowering thing I've ever done," he recalls. "I spent my childhood on a property like that, and we did have mutton for every meal. It is an Australia which has largely vanished."

Beats me. Let me know if it works!
I think so, use plenty of egg to bind and fry the batter. If doesn't work consider coconut alternatives that what I use for all my bread substitutes its a bit lighter too.
No more diets. No more stress. Health made easy. Living made incredible.
I don't know how to make the "dry" tortillas, but if you search for "primal enchiladas" you may get something close to what you're looking for! Basically, you just mix eggs with some heavy cream (or half and half) and fry "crepes" from the mixture.

Not Acceptable
And this page marks the start of a new on going storyline for J&C. I think this is perfect timing. If I delayed any more then it would be incongruous. I was running out of ideas until I realised I could go back to this and so I am.
When this is all over, sometime around Christmas, I shall have more ideas.
You all remember Computer right? From here? And you of course all read this page, right? Or at the very least read these pages on dA? If you haven't done any of those things… do them now. We'll wait for you.
I am still adjusting to my new laptop, the new aspect ratio makes it rather hard, which is why the art quality dances all over the place in the first four panels. Hopefully those last two panels make up for it.

The move towards common standards is picking up steam. Many who agree on the need for "fewer, clearer and higher academic standards" see collaboration among states as a strong.mechanism for creating such standards.
While many believe the state consortium model protects the common standards movement from undue federal influence, uncertainty about the federal government's role in supporting the common standards movement persists. Questions about the federal role loomed large at a House Panel yesterday.
The committee hearing featured a lot of rather vague talk -- most of it framed in the now-familiar "education for economic competitiveness" argument.
Except for AFT President Randi Weingarten, who in less than five minutes gave an impassioned and persuasive plea to end the "triage approach to public education" and stop "just tinkering around the edges". Instead, she called for a "comprehensive approach" to improving education, including "better, fairer" assessment and accountability systems aligned with a "content-rich, sequenced curriculum".
Video of her testimony is worth watching:
Thanks for the link, MItchell. As you may know, AFT is a member of the Learning First Alliance, which sponsors this site. Randi is extending a long tradition at the AFT--which is why it was shocking to see so many commentators write that AFT had "finally come around" to this reform idea.

We might never know, but one thing is for certain, according to MLive Lions Insider Tom "Killer" Kowalski, Detroit's better off with the Auburn defensive tackle having slipped to its No. 13 overall pick.
"Actually, if the Lions had made that huge move, to trade all those picks to move up, it probably would've been a huge mistake," Kowalski explained on WDFN-AM 1130 Detroit. "Think about that."
Atlanta made a trade to move into Cleveland's No. 6 spot - the pick just after the Cardinals'. The Falcons wanted Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones and paid dearly for the opportunity - they gave up this five picks: this years first-, second- and fourth-round selections, and next year's first- and fourth-rounder.
Meanwhile, Detroit entered the 2011 NFL draft with just six picks - one in each round. When the Cardinals balked at the team's offer of this year's first-, second- and fourth-round picks, there wasn't much room to move.
It just might have been for the better.
"Now I'm not saying that Fairley is as good as Patrick Peterson," Kowalski said, "but if you look at it - what they would have had to give up to get a guy like Patrick Peterson at five (isn't worth it) when, standing pat, they get a guy like Fairley."
"So, it's one of those deals where one of the best trades you make are the ones that you don't make."
Listen to the full interview to hear Killer reveal the other reason Detroit had no chance to trade up for Peterson:
