Have you read the wiki page on STRM (wiki) files? Once you have made the file it should just show up like any other playable file.
Full disclosure: I work for WeTek. However, this is my personal account, and my words and opinion are my own.

- for immediate publication –
Hamburg, Germany - March 8th, 2012 – The wait is over: Valkyrie™, the first add-on for the award-winning science fiction epic Galaxy on Fire 2™ by Fishlabs Entertainment, is now available in High Definition for iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and does already support the new iPad (aka iPad 3) Retina display. The add-on takes up where the main game Galaxy on Fire 2™ left off and puts the series' protagonist, Keith T. Maxwell, right in the middle of another impending crisis with evil aliens, ruthless space pirates and power-crazy wretches all casting a dark shadow over the universe. Mac users will presumably be able to experience the add-on about four weeks after its iOS release: Valkyrie™ Full HD is currently scheduled for April 2012.
In the last couple of months, the complete graphical overhaul of Fishlabs' popular outer space adventure's first add-on was right on top of the company's agenda together with the development of the recently announced second expansion pack Supernova™. With elaborate new 3D assets for all space crafts, space stations and heavenly bodies as well as spectacular new post-, explosion- and special effects, Valkyrie™ HD looks more stunning than ever before and offers its fans a cinematic experience in AAA-console game quality.
To celebrate the release of Valkyrie™ HD and say "Thank you" for the loyalty and support of its long-time fans, Fishlabs also has two nice surprises up its sleeve. One the one hand, the regular version of Galaxy on Fire 2™ (SD) will be sold for half its original price ($ 4,99/ EUR 3,99/ GBP 2,99) until March 11 th, 2012. And on the other hand, all fans, who own the afore-mentioned SD-version of the game, will be able to unlock the red-hot HD-version of the add-on for free. However, the installation of Valkyrie™ HD still requires the possession of an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 as well as the previous purchase of HD-version of the main game Galaxy on Fire 2™ (HD).
Simultaneously with the new add-on, Fishlabs has also released a free Retina update, which optimizes all iOS versions of the main game Galaxy on Fire 2™ and the add-on Valkyrie™ (SD and HD) for the new iPad. Hence, all space adventurers exploring the galaxy on the new iPad will be able to fully showcase the new hardware and enjoy Fishlabs' flagship title in stunning 2048 by 1536 pixel resolution as soon as Apple's highly anticipated new tablet is available on the market. As a matter of course, the title's user interface and all control elements have been re-adjusted for a perfect gaming experience on the new iPad.
Features of Valkyrie™ HD:
• All 3D models rebuilt from scratch for console-quality visuals and a crystal-clear gaming experience on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
• Assets, such as jump gates and asteroids, feature even more textures and up to four-times the original resolution
• Individual texture sets for all 30 spaceships including diffuse, normal, and specular maps in High Definition
• Enhanced background images and resolution on space environments and planets for a crystal-clear gaming experience on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
• Additional light sources for atmosphere and breathtaking realism
• Additional OpenGL shaders and post effects as well as heavily revised explosion, engine flare and muzzle flash special effects
• Native support for HD resolutions of 2048 by 1536 pixel (new iPad / iPad 3), 1024 by 768 pixel (iPad 2) or 960 by 640 pixel (iPhone 4S)
Valkyrie™ HD is now available via in-app purchase for the price of $ 4,99/ EUR 3,99/ GBP 2,99
In the course of the launch of Galaxy on Fire 2™ HD – Valkyrie, Fishlabs has also made the infamous Kaamo Club available in High Definition. This floating den of iniquity can either be obtained in-game or purchased via in-app purchase and used as a storage facility for valuable goods and additional space ships.
About Galaxy on Fire 2™ HD - Valkyrie:
The new storyline of Valkyrie™ HD confronts Keith T. Maxwell, the hot-headed protagonist of Galaxy on Fire 2™, with a sly and devious opponent. When a high-ranking scientist is kidnapped and the prototype of a revolutionary new technology is stolen, Keith has to team up with the secretive Deep Science society once again in order to save the universe from its impending doom on the hands of a power-crazy maniac. On board of the mysterious Valkyrie station, which is commanded by the shady weapons dealer Alice, he ends up right in the middle of a tight net of betrayals and intrigues, whose sudden conclusion results in an unexpected twist and thundering show-down that puts the safety and freedom of the whole galaxy at stake.

The largest square in medieval Europe, the Market Square (Rynek Główny) is now a broad expanse with the vast Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) at its centre, ringed by magnificent houses and towering spires. Originally a collection of outdoor market stalls, the Cloth Hall was first built in 1300 and reconstructed during the Renaissance, and still houses a bustling covered market. To its south is the tiny copper-domed St Adalbert's, the first church to be founded in Kraków. On the east side is the Gothic St Mary's Church (Mon–Sat 11.30am–6pm, Sun 2–6pm; 6zł), the taller of its two towers, which you can climb during the summer months (May–Aug Tues, Thurs & Sat 9–11.30am & 1–5.30pm; 5zł), topped by an amazing ensemble of spires. Inside is the stunningly realistic triptych high altar (1477–89), an intricate wood-carving depicting the Virgin Mary's Quietus among the apostles.

Legend has it that during one of the thirteenth-century Tatar raids, a guard watching from the tower of St Mary's Church saw the invaders approaching and blew his trumpet, only for his alarm to be cut short by an arrow through the throat. Every hour a local fireman now plays the sombre melody (hejnał) from the same tower, halting abruptly at the point when the guard is supposed to have been hit.

A WESTERN Pennsylvania lawmaker wants to cut state funding for the database used by gun dealers to check prospective buyers' criminal and mental-health records before selling them a firearm.
State Rep. Tim Krieger, R-Greensburg, contends that the database, the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS), wastes money because such a check can be made in a federal database, the National Instant Check System (NICS). Legislation he introduced in January requiring dealers to make presale checks with NICS instead of PICS is under review in the state House Judiciary Committee. Thirty-four other lawmakers signed on as co-sponsors.

Former Wave coach Keith Tozer to hold news conference Tuesday
Keith Tozer, formerly the face of the Milwaukee Wave, plans a news conference Tuesday to discuss his departure from the franchise.
In a text to the Journal Sentinel, the former coach said it had been a difficult time for him and his family. The Wave announced Friday that the franchise had parted ways with Tozer after 22 seasons.
Tozer said the news conference would be held at 10 a.m. in the east atrium of the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Tozer has not commented on the situation with the Wave.
The franchise is no longer affiliated with the Major Indoor Soccer League and is apparently attempting to connect with the Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL). The Wave also is attempting to secure a new lease to play at the U.S. Cellular Arena.
On Saturday, Kevin Milliken, commissioner of the PASL, said in an email that "The Wave is more than welcome in the PASL, this has now been made clear directly to them, and we expect them in the PASL."

Saint Mariana of Jesus de Paredes, O.F.S. (Spanish: Mariana or María Ana de Jesús de Paredes y Flores; October 31, 1618 – May 26, 1645), is a Roman Catholic saint and is the first person to be canonized from Ecuador. She was a hermit who is said to have sacrificed herself for the salvation of Quito. She was beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1853 and canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950. She is the patron saint of Ecuador and venerated at the La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús in Quito. Her feast day is May 26.
Mariana de Paredes was born in the city of Quito, in the New Kingdom of Granada (modern-day Ecuador), on October 31, 1618, and died there on May 26, 1645. Born of aristocratic parents on both sides of her family, her father was Don Girolamo Flores Zenel de Paredes, a nobleman of Toledo, Spain, and her mother was Doña Mariana Cranobles de Xaramilo, a descendant of one of the best Spanish families. Mariana was the youngest of eight children, and it is claimed her birth was accompanied by most unusual phenomena in the heavens, clearly connected with the child and juridically attested at the time of the process of her beatification.[1] Orphaned at a very young age, she was raised by her older sister and the latter's husband.
Church testimony states that, almost from infancy, she gave signs of an extraordinary attraction to prayer and mortification, of love of God and devotion to the Blessed Virgin; and was, on a number of occasions, miraculously preserved from death. At the age of ten, she made private vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. She desired to convey the light of faith to less fortunate people and to later enter a monastery as a Dominican nun. But when neither of these pious desires came to pass, she made for herself a hermitage in the home of her sister where, apart from all worldly cares and closely united to God, she gave herself up to the practice of unheard of corporal austerities.
She received the habit of the Third Order from the Franciscans in her native town of Quito.[2] It is reported that the fast which she kept was so strict that she took scarcely an ounce of dry bread every eight or ten days. The food which miraculously sustained her life, as in the case of Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Rose of Lima, was, according to the sworn testimony of many witnesses, the Eucharist alone, which she received every morning in Holy Communion.[1] At some point early in her life, Mariana entered the Third Order of St. Francis and took the religious name of Mariana of Jesus at that time.
Mariana possessed an ecstatic gift of prayer and is said to have been able to predict the future, see distant events as if they were passing before her, read the secrets of hearts, cure diseases by a mere sign of the Cross or by sprinkling the sufferer with holy water, and at least once restored a dead person to life.[2] During the 1645 earthquakes and subsequent epidemics in Quito, she publicly offered herself as a victim for the city and died shortly thereafter. It is also reported that, on the day she died, her sanctity was revealed in a wonderful manner: Immediately after her death, a pure white lily sprang up from her blood, blossomed and bloomed, a prodigy which has given her the title of "The Lily of Quito".[1] The Republic of Ecuador has declared her a national heroine.
Monsignor Alfonso della Pegna initiated the first preliminary steps towards her beatification, and instituted the process of inquiring into and collecting evidence for the sanctity of her life, her virtues and her miracles. The Sacred Congregation of Rites, having discussed and approved of this process, decided in favor of the formal introduction of the cause, and Pope Benedict XIV signed the commission for introducing the cause on December 17, 1757. The Apostolic process concerning the virtues of the Venerable Mariana de Paredes was drawn up and examined in due form by the two Preparatory Congregations and by the General Congregation of Rites, and orders were given by Pope Pius VI for the publication of the decree attesting the heroic character of her virtues. The process concerning the two miracles wrought through the intercession of this servant of God was subsequently prepared and, at the request of the Very Reverend Jan Roothaan, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, was examined and accepted by the three congregations, and formally approved on January 11, 1817, by Pope Pius IX.[2]
The General Congregation having decided in favor of proceeding to the beatification, Blessed Pius IX commanded the Brief of Beatification to be prepared. The Very Reverend Peter Jan Beckx, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, petitioned Cardinal Costantino Patrizi Naro to order the publication of the Brief, and his request was granted. The Brief was read and the solemn beatification took place in the Basilica of St Peter, Rome on November 10, 1853. Many miracles have been claimed to have been the reward of those who have invoked her intercession, especially in America, of which she seems pleased to show herself the especial patroness.

One thing Malina's kept hush-hush until now? He hasn't really been live-Tweeting Scandal alongside the rest of the Gladiators on Thursday nights.
"We moved up an hour [from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m.]," he told the crowd at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Sunday night. "I don't even get the East Coast feed, and I'm making dinner for my kids." (To that, he added faux self-importantly, "Because I'm a remarkable man.")

But that may be coming to an end: The lovebirds tell us they've been looking at properties in – drum roll please – Florida. Seems they've been renting a vacation home there since the Survivor: All-Stars finale, and they are excited about how far their million-dollar-plus winnings could go compared to the sky-high prices of the Northeast. "(We) could buy (a house) that's right on the beach," Amber says of Florida. "So that's what we're thinking about doing. We like it down here."

The Whole Two Yards: Giraffe Neck Growth Patterns
Extreme adaptations seem to serve as canvases upon which people paint their various pet theories about evolution. The origin of the giraffe's nearly two-meter long neck has long served as fodder for "just-so" stories, and has been featured in everything from Rudyard Kipling's tales as a metaphor for self-improvement to countless biology textbooks as the default illustration for Lamarck's theory of evolution via inheritance of acquired characteristics. Amongst the speculation as to why any reasonable species would develop such an extreme feature, two hypotheses predominate: 1) Giraffe necks elongated in order to enhance resource access, either through a co-evolutionary dynamic with Acacia tree height or through competition to obtain more browse material than shorter ungulate species; or 2) long necks are the result of sexual selection, akin to peacock tails, that result in more successful mate acquisition for longer-necked individuals—either because female giraffes think long necks are sexy or because males use them as weapons to compete for mates. It also could have been a combination of both, or long necks could have enhanced capacities for thermoregulation, or for vigilance . . . or something else. The debate over which mechanism applies in this case has defied resolution to this day.
The giraffe's neck actually contains the same number of cervical (neck) vertebrae found in nearly all other mammals. (For a discussion of the very few mammals to deviate the magic number of seven cervicals, see this Endless Forms post). The rate at which these vertebrae develop relative to other parts of the giraffe's body, including its head and overall body mass, however, has not been adequately explored.
The gangly, awkward teenage period is painful enough even for those of us that are not destined to end up as awkwardly gangly as giraffes for the rest of our lives. This state of comical disproportion (in our eyes, of course) is not an entirely lifelong condition for giraffes, however: they are born with extended but not extremely long necks, and their cervicals don't begin to extend rapidly until later in life (Van Sittert et al. 2010). But just how rapidly, relative to the rest of the body? Is there a difference between male and female growth patterns? What can the answers to these questions tell us about the evolutionary roots of the giraffe's long neck?
These questions motivated a group of researchers from the University of Wyoming and the Centre for Veterinary Wildlife Studies at the University of Pretoria to investigate growth patterns of the necks and heads of giraffes, and their findings appear in a recent issue of the Journal of Zoology (Mitchell et al. 2013). They analyzed numerous morphological measurements in order to determine whether neck growth scaled allometrically with head and body growth—ie, whether the neck maintained a consistent size ratio with the rest of the giraffe's body, or whether a giraffe goes through an "awkward teen phase" with proportions that are skewed relative to those of mature adults. The researchers also compared growth patterns between the sexes and examined sexual dimorphism to determine whether developmental patterns differ between males and females.
It turns out that there is no significant difference between male and female giraffes in neck growth rate (measured by both neck mass and neck length), but that in both sexes the neck length did indeed increase at a faster rate than body mass. The rates of neck and body growth rates are similar to one another in youngsters, but the necks outpace body mass once puberty hits, elongating out of proportion to the growth of the rest of the body. In other words, there is now scientific evidence that giraffes go through a gangly teenage stage.
Interestingly, a giraffe's head actually grows at a slower rate than its overall body mass. Males did end up with slightly heavier heads and necks, due to thicker ossicones and skull bones. The researchers attribute this to basic differences in sex steroid levels, and it should also be noted that males have a much longer total growth period during their lives than do females. These factors underlie the slight male:female body size differential typically found even in mammals that lack significant sexual selection dynamics. Giraffe head and neck growth rates and the ratio of neck mass to total body mass both remained similar between the sexes, meaning that they differ a bit in size but not in basic growth pattern.
This low degree of sexual dimorphism in skull and neck proportions has important implications for our understanding of giraffe evolution and biology. If giraffe necks had developed due to pressures from one form of sexual selection, dubbed "female choice," we would expect to find one sex (in the mammal world it would typically be the males) with profoundly more extreme features. In this form of sexual selection, extreme features would provide the basis for the other sex (typically the females, sorry guys) to choose a mate from their array of suitors based on display characteristics of some sort, some more exaggerated than others. In the other type of sexual selection--"male-male competition"--giraffes would use their massive necks to battle for access to mates, which themselves would exhibit little aesthetic choosiness and would just go with the males that were the most successful at winning fights.
There are popular video clips of giraffes engaging in dramatic bouts of "necking", in which they appear to fight by swinging their long necks and heavy heads at each other like weapons. On the surface, it seems like this may represent sexual selection via male competition. Mitchell et al., however, point out that studies have shown that large males rarely participate in these activities, and it's more often immature males with female-like head and neck sizes that do all of the "fighting" in order to establish a dominance hierarchy. Most importantly, the winners of the fights don't go on to acquire more mates (Pratt & Anderson 1982).
Giraffes possess an extremely exaggerated feature, to be sure, but the lack of difference between males and females tells us that it's unlikely this was due to sexual selection. This makes it much more likely that some form of enhanced resource utilization or physiological efficiency was the mechanism for neck elongation over evolutionary time.
The issue is far from resolved, however. Alternative mechanisms require further research and testing before they can claim to have "won" as evolutionary explanations for the length of giraffe necks. Moreover, there have been noteworthy back-and-forth on the validity of these theories. Some studies have suggested that giraffes rarely browse at the full height that their necks can reach (Young & Isbell 1991). Also, in order to "out-reach" other browsers, they would only need to reach two meters into the canopy, not five meters, and being that high off the ground actually makes it harder to see predators such as lions that slink along the ground (Cameron & Du Toit 2005). Conversely, although Cameron & Du Toit (2007) found that 57% of the forage consumed by giraffes grew below two meters, i.e. in the height range of other herbivores, they suggest that the giraffe's long neck allows it exclusive access leaves in the center of shrubs and bushes by reaching down from above. All of this will require broader and deeper investigation, of course, and in the end it is likely that the selective pressure that have produced such long necks is attributable to more than one precise factor.
Although it is most famous for its long neck, the giraffe exhibits an array of highly specialized features, and Mitchell et al. review a few fun facts about giraffe morphology. For example, relative to total cranial mass, the sinus cavities of giraffes are massive relative to those of other artiodactyls, allowing the development of such an enormous head without the skull becoming debilitatingly heavy. In addition, the cervical vertebrae close to the head are lighter than those lower in the neck, further decreasing the mechanical stress of holding a head that high on a neck that long. The occipital condyles, which allow the head to rotate on the neck, have such a wide range of motion that the giraffe can actually partially lay the top of its head along its neck while feeding, a sort of reverse flamingo strategy. Fancy, no?

WAIEHU - Police are investigating arson and suicide in the death of a man whose body was found in a home on Kakae Place in Waiehu after firefighters extinguished flames that burned the back portion of the house Wednesday morning, police said.
The body is believed to be that of the 52-year-old homeowner, said Lt. Jayson Rego of the police Criminal Investigation Division.
Three family dogs in the house also died in the fire, with a fourth injured dog turned over to an animal rescue organization for treatment, Rego said.

Rego said police officers responding to the 6:19 a.m. call of a possible abuse in progress at the Oceanview Estates home were told that the man had set his house on fire and had fired several gunshots in the home. Officers saw the rear of the residence engulfed in flames and heard several gunshots from inside the home, Rego said.
Firefighters, who responded to extinguish the flames, located the charred remains of the man, Rego said.
He said the victim had not been positively identified, with the investigation in its beginning stages because of the time it took to douse the flames and debris from the fire.
The fire was brought under control by 7:11 a.m., a fire official said.
A Wailuku fire crew remained at the scene until about 10:20 a.m. to extinguish flare-ups in the blaze.
Rego said investigators were sifting through what remained at the residence for evidence and indicators of the cause of the fire, including whether accelerants were used.
The fire damaged the back portion of the house and wasn't readily visible from the street.
Seattle resident Shannon Smith, who arrived on Maui on Tuesday to visit his daughter who lives on Kakae Place, said he had left the street to go for a walk to the golf course at about 6:10 a.m. Wednesday. He was near the 15th tee when he first saw a little smoke, then "tons of black smoke." Soon after, flames were shooting about 30 feet in the air.
"It went to flame so quick, it had to be some accelerant," he said. "Normally, you wouldn't see flames that quickly. They were so high and so hot."
Once firefighters arrived, "it didn't take them long to knock it down," Smith said.
Police closed Kakae Place, reopening the cul-de-sac at 9:28 a.m.
Dennis Burns of Valley Isle Animal Rescue, which picked up the injured dog from the home, said the shepherd mix was scared but otherwise doing OK on Wednesday morning. The animal was being checked for smoke inhalation at At Home Veterinary Hospital in Kahului.

Five Tips for Reaching Your Genealogy Goals
We all know the scenario. You set an objective for yourself and your research, and fire yourself up with the ambition to achieve it. You go for it with all your energy, but then get distracted, slow down, and become occupied with something else. Before you know it what you've been aiming for is left by the wayside.
Whether you've set yourself the objective of setting up a genealogy blog, finding your way through a particular 'brick wall' in your research, or simply sharing your tree with the extended family, it helps to be able to stick with your goals. Here are a few tips which may help you with this, and to avoid letting big plans lay forgotten.
1. Write down what you're trying to achieve, and set a timeframe for it
It's nice to have a goal, but it's very easy to put it off unless you have a 'when' as well as a 'what'. If you've got an objective in genealogy, set yourself a provisional deadline. If you don't meet it, it isn't the end of the world; but having a timeframe in mind should help give you a sense of urgency as you go about your work.
2. Leave reminders for yourself
One of the biggest problems in losing sight of our goals is simply forgetting about them, or putting them to the back of our minds. You can counter this by leaving yourself reminders. These needn't be post-it notes on the refrigerator (although they could be that); they can be anything to a note in your calendar to a scheduled email to yourself every week. The key is to make sure your objectives are fresh in your mind.
3. Tell other people what you're trying to do
It's a lot easier to stick to your commitments if you have other people nagging you about them, so tell others about your plans. They don't need to know the ins-and-outs of what you're doing, and they don't even need to be genealogists, but if you let these people know what you're doing you'll have some accountability for what you're doing.
If you don't want to tell people in real life, why not make an announcement on your blog? It may not give you in-person reminders, but you'll still have made a public commitment to what you're doing.
4. Set regular time aside for when you can do it
It's helpful if you can make regular progress on whatever genealogy goals you're trying to reach. It breaks up the workload, and makes the task a regular feature of your life. So if you're waiting for that big free weekend before you get started on the whole thing, it may be worth reconsidering. Just an hour or two every week can make a big difference.
5. Start right away
Talk is cheap, and making progress is what matters. So if you have a genealogy goal, it makes sense to stop dithering and make an initial start on it right away. All too often tomorrow turns into the day after, and the day after turns into never. Don't let that happen with your genealogy goals!

Cleveland nurse charged in murder-for-hire plot
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- An Ohio man hatched a plot to kill a woman he was in a home-ownership dispute with, authorities say, by approaching an emergency room patient at the renowned hospital where he worked as a nurse with the question, "Ever killed anyone?"
No, the Cleveland Clinic patient replied, but I once shot a man.
That was good enough, authorities said, for nurse Andrew Martin, 23, who allegedly tried to resolve the dispute by offering the patient $10,000 to kill the woman, who was never hurt.
Martin, of the town of Bristolville about 50 miles east of Cleveland, has pleaded not guilty. His trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 7 in U.S. District Court in Cleveland.
NASA, Europeans uniting to send spaceship to moon
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA is teaming up with the European Space Agency to get astronauts beyond Earth's orbit.
Europe will provide the propulsion and power compartment for NASA's new Orion crew capsule, officials said Wednesday. This so-called service module will be based on Europe's supply ship used for the International Space Station.
Orion's first trip is an unmanned mission in 2017. Any extra European parts will be incorporated in the first manned mission of Orion in 2021.
NASA's human exploration chief, Bill Gerstenmaier, said both missions will be aimed at the vicinity of the moon. The exact details are being worked out; lunar fly-bys, rather than landings, are planned.
FBI: Dozens arrested in U.S. trash-hauling case
NEW YORK -- Federal authorities have charged 32 people, including a dozen alleged mobsters and associates, with using threats of violence and shakedowns to control garbage pickup routes in New York City's suburbs.
FBI agents arrested 30 of the defendants on Wednesday on racketeering conspiracy, extortion and other counts during morning raids around the city and its northern suburbs, as well as in New Jersey. Two more were expected to surrender later in the day.
An indictment identifies 12 of the defendants as either official members or associates of the Genovese, Gambino and Luchese organized crime families. The crime families have a long tradition of infiltrating and extorting trash collection companies at a cost partly borne by paying customers.
3 killed in shooting in Kentucky college parking lot
HAZARD, Ky. -- A gunman fired into a vehicle, killing a man and a woman and wounding a 12-year-old girl late Tuesday, and police have charged a 21-year-old with murder in the incident, blaming it on a domestic dispute. The girl died at a hospital hours after the shooting.
The violence in a college parking lot locked down the campus for more than an hour as police searched the two buildings of Hazard Community and Technical College in Hazard, in southeast Kentucky. The campus was closed Wednesday. Hazard police Chief Minor Allen said Wednesday that Dalton Stidham, 21, was charged with three counts of murder.
Allen said the shooting resulted from a dispute between Stidham and the woman who was killed, 20-year-old Caitlin Cornett.
School bus drivers go on strike in New York City
NEW YORK -- Tens of thousands of New York City children who usually ride school buses took subways, taxis and private cars to school Wednesday as more than 8,000 bus drivers and aides went on strike. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said police were called after some strikers blocked buses from leaving.
Union head Michael Cordiello said the drivers will strike until Bloomberg and the city agree to put a job security clause back into their contract.

Here's a little fact about me. I am a total homebody from Sunday-Thursday. I don't want to go out to eat. I don't want to meet up for happy hour (well… an occasional Thursday happy hour's kinda' nice). All I want to do is eat a warm meal, pack my gym bag, prep my lunch, and throw on my pajamas. Lucky for me, Jenn's weekly blog-hop party doesn't cut into my pajama time.
Snack 1 = apple
Lunch = cauliflower veggie bowl with brown rice and curry powder
Snack 2 = Marathon Mix (unplanned but all 210 calories were so worth it)
Snack 3 = 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (Daisy = fav brand)
Dinner = adapted turkey muffins and broccoli
I wanted to make spaghetti squash with turkey meat sauce, but when I saw the store was out of squash, I was lost and confused. (Y'all know how I get without my store list.) I just made turkey muffins last week, so I knew I had all the other ingredients already.
I guess my macros come to approximately (very very very approx) 1430 cal, 38 fat, 184 carb, 101 protein

Why I Have Turned Bullish On $RIMM... 0 comments
I had bought Blackberry Playbook along with my Lumia 900 around July/August 2012 and back then I wasn't aware that Blackberry had a plan to release BB10 platform - how ignorant of me. What I was most impressed about the Playbook was its front and back 1080 camera and mini HDMI port along with their QNX operating system and BBM. I have worked in the past with real-time OS'es and had also implemented one myself (the one I wrote was good enough to run cruise control and other apps in a car with limited compute and memory resources) and I had studied early incarnation of QNX back then and was thoroughly impressed.
Around that time I was pretty impressed with my Lumia 900 and so I did a lot of technical due diligence on Windows Phone 8 platform and Nokia's differentiation at the level of hardware, application and eco-system and came out pretty impressed with what Microsoft and Nokia had done. Unfortunately because I wasn't aware about Blackberry's BB10 phone I didn't buy Blackberry when their stock was at $5.80. My only grip about Blackberry Playbook was that at that time I couldn't install and run Android applications (that support came later in the OS 2 release) - apparently BB10 now allows one to run Android applications (although my initial take away was that they were a bit slow). I also had found that their internet browser was slow as well. I did write about this on my earlier post. Over last two days I have seen all the latest demo videos out there and it has blown my mind on what BB10 provides as a platform.
As far as $RIMM goes I think they have truly carried forward the idea of Microsoft's Windows 8 Live Titles to a new level and have not only neatly integrated the Live Tiles UI with their Messaging Hub (BBM) but, have also truly changed the playing field in terms of application level integration.
Microsoft and Nokia have also achieved application level integration in the current Windows 8 platform but is currently limited to certain specific applications (e.g. look at Camera and the extensions that you can drop into it).
The differentiator as far as the BB10 platform goes is that they have integrated cross cutting features as "aspects" and make them available to any application (and these can be pulled in seamlessly with simple finger gestures).
Apart from some of the features like peek, flow, cascade, etc. they also seamlessly integrate all forms of messages (emails, tweets, etc.) as incoming events - which to me is a key differentiator over and above their secure email exchange. Microsoft/Nokia also supports this capability but as far as I know it is not bubbled up as transparently as on finds in the BB10 platform.
Last but not the least they provide means to run Android applications - I think this will be a key driver that will drive $RIMM sales and take a bite out of Samsung revenue. It won't be too far fetched to say that in the next few months BB10 will be to Android what Usain Bolt is to Sprint. If that was not all, they have made their entire platform open - which means a lot of school/college kids and hackers will also be gravitating towards it.
On the financial side, $RIMM has >$2B cash in hand and their market cap is 6B which means market is really valuing them at less than $4B - which is a 30% discount on $RIMM's current stock price!
IMO, BB10 doesn't necessarily have to be blockbuster for the stock to move higher (and that is why I took a long position in $RIMM at $11.98). With no debt on their books, I don't believe that $RIMM is going bankrupt; and, since their stocks outstanding (float) is comparatively small ~500M coupled with the fact that 65% of that is held by financial institutions and the short interest is ~30% - I think there is a very high possibility of a true short squeeze occurring on $RIMM's stock.
All in all, I am thoroughly impressed by the work that both $RIMM, $MSFT and $NOK have done to build an eco-system that can stand on its own and truly compete with the likes of $APPL, and Samsung. I am personally convinced that together $RIMM and $NOK will take a sizeable bite out of the share of Samsung (and to a much lesser extent Apple). Last but not the least I am also of the opinion that BB10 very likely will use $NOK maps.
I am long $NOK and now $RIMM.

Background: Adults and children in the United States get two to six colds per year. Evidence that zinc is effective therapy for colds is inconsistent.
Objective: To test the efficacy of zinc acetate lozenges in reducing the duration of symptoms of the common cold.
Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Setting: Detroit Medical Center, Detroit, Michigan.
Patients: 50 ambulatory volunteers recruited within 24 hours of developing symptoms of the common cold.
Intervention: Participants took one lozenge containing 12.8 mg of zinc acetate or placebo every 2 to 3 hours while awake as long as they had cold symptoms.
Measurements: Subjective symptom scores for sore throat, nasal discharge, nasal congestion, sneezing, cough, scratchy throat, hoarseness, muscle ache, fever, and headache were recorded daily for 12 days. Plasma zinc and proinflammatory cytokine levels were measured on day 1 and after participants were well.
Results: Forty-eight participants completed the study (25 in the zinc group and 23 in the placebo group). Compared with the placebo group, the zinc group had shorter mean overall duration of cold symptoms (4.5 vs. 8.1 days), cough (3.1 [95% CI, 2.1 to 4.1] vs. 6.3 [CI, 4.9 to 7.7] days), and nasal discharge (4.1 [CI, 3.3 to 4.9] vs. 5.8 [CI, 4.3 to 7.3] days) and decreased total severity scores for all symptoms (P < 0.002, test for treatment × time interaction). Mean changes in soluble interleukin-1 receptor antagonist level differed nonsignificantly between the zinc group and the placebo group (difference between changes, −89.4 pg/mL [CI, −243.6 to −64.8 pg/mL]).
Conclusion: Administration of zinc lozenges was associated with reduced duration and severity of cold symptoms, especially cough. Improvement in clinical symptoms with zinc treatment may be related to a decrease in proinflammatory cytokine levels; however, in this study, the observed differences between changes in cytokine levels in zinc and placebo recipients were not significant.
Fifty percent of the zinc recipients were well in 3.8 days, and 50% of the placebo recipients were well in 7.7 days.
Values are given as the mean ± SE. Repeated-measures analysis indicated a significant effect for treatment × time between the zinc and placebo groups over the 12 days of the study ( = 0.002).

Tuna Halloween Costume 2007
p.s. Gerry please note that this is what Marc does during lunch when I can't come home. I think you need to call him more. He's lonely.

Your husband is also very talented. Please tell me you are going to make that. Please. I love how he made the back legs a working part of the costume.ReplyDelete
Now, will Tuna cooperate with something like this? Is Tuna very Chuck-like?
The Chuck link didn't work for me (is Chuck a cat too?), but I can say that Tuna will NOT cooperate. My husband is still very jazzed about the idea. He wants me to sew it. It seems like a lot of work for the 5 seconds she would be in it before she scratches our eyes out.... but it might just be worth it to see her tail way the fish tail.ReplyDelete
Chuck is a dog and gets photographed everyday by his owner:http://www.dooce.com/archives/daily_chuck/09_19_2007.htmlReplyDelete
She's been able to get him to do almost anything. Too bad about Tuna, it would be cute.
OMG for the love of Tunie PLEASE Don't do it! Ok now that I spoke up on behalf of Tuna I would LOVE to see her in that costume. You know...if you have any of the left over medication from the vet to tranquize her you might want to give her some before attempting to put on the costume!ReplyDelete

With the uncertainty and tanking involved with the Los Angeles Lakers 2013-14 season, next season's roster is as clear as a Winter day in Minnesota…
When you think about this Los Angeles Lakers season, it's like one big tryout. Young guys, with little to no chemistry together, trying to somehow put wins together.
With Pau Gasol being the only established veteran player on the team, a lot of uncertainty is on the horizon for these young guys. Kobe Bryant has been vocal about who he wants back, and it's Gasol, of course. With Bryant being very vocal about his frustration and impatience with the whole rebuilding plan, it's difficult to know what players will be returning next season
A multitude of factors go into bringing players back. You have to remember, L.A. wants to swing for the fences, which means big names who currently are not on the Lakers. Will guys be willing to take another year of a pay cut if they could possibly get more money someplace else? Also, will guys be willing to take another one year deal to save the team money? After all at the end of the day these players are human, have families and want stability. So this process is a long one.
Gasol and Nick Young are more than likely top on the Lakers want to keep list. Gasol has been unbelievable when healthy. Averaging 17.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and almost 4 assist a game. Great numbers for the Spaniard. With this being his last year under contract, the Lakers are going to have to do some great bargaining with Gasol, along with Bryant helping by voicing his wanting for him to stay a Laker. There will be plenty more offers for Gasol, but his heart is in L.A. The front office has to do whatever to keep him.
When it comes to Young, it's a bit different. He has a player option at the end of this season, meaning he can opt out and test the free agency market, or opt in and remain a Laker for his final year under contract. There's no doubt offers will be there for Young if he chooses free agency. He's had a great season – averaging 17 points and just about 3 rebounds per game coming off the bench.
Young was easily the leading candidate for sixth man of the year before going down with a knee injury. Gasol and Young have given the Lakers great play when healthy despite the terrible season the team is having. I think it's safe to say those are the top guys the ororginaztiaion and fans want to see remain a Laker. From the on court production, to in the locker room. Gasol and Young deserve to remain in the purple and gold.
After Young, Gasol, and Kobe. It's a gamble for mostly everyone else. Only Steve Nash and Robert Sacre are under contract. With the speculation of LA potentially going after big names this summer, and having a lottery pick it's realistic to say many of these Lakers under their current 1yr deal won't be back. The Laker Sumner of 2014 will be a true Hollywood Story to say the least.

Whenever a skill position player goes down to an injury, that player's replacement always seems to have a claim from every team on the waiver wire.
It seems like the Jaguars running back corps has had more claims than just about any other corps in fantasy football this season.
But you might want to hit the brakes when trying to pick up Montell Owens after Rashad Jennings left this week's loss against Buffalo with a possible concussion.
You have to remember that Owens was No. 4 on the depth chart at running back for the Jaguars. Yes, those Jaguars.
Jalen Parmele wasn't producing, Rashad Jennings wasn't producing, and heck, even Maurice Jones-Drew himself was struggling before his injury.
There's no guarantee that a replacement player is going to come in and light up the world. Not everyone can be Bryce Brown (who I hope you picked up, he's the main reason my team is going to the playoffs).
So forget Owens, you probably have much better options. There's also some other running backs that aren't likely to even make a dent on your fantasy score.
Here are those running backs:

Voltage-gated ion channels and neuronal excitability
Voltage-gated ion channels play a fundamental role in regulating neuronal excitability. The distribution and properties of these channels within subcellular neuronal compartments (axons, dendrites and soma) varies. We are interested in understanding how these ion channels contribute to regulating excitability within these individual compartments and how they may affect neuronal output (action potential initiation and synaptic release) under physiological conditions as well as pathophysiological states such as epilepsy. To study this, we utilise a variety of techniques including electrophysiological patch-clamp recording (soma, dendrites and synaptic terminals), multi-photon imaging and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. By using this multi-disciplinary approach we hope to develop a better understanding of the mechanism(s) by which these ion channels affect cellular and neural network activity.

(2) HCN channel plasticity and cortical synaptic transmission

As a history major at Wofford you'll start by taking foundational courses that give you a basis in Western history from Antiquity to the present. You'll also be required to complete a course in historiography, "the history of history", that encompasses basic research methodology and schools of historical thought.
Once you reach your upper division courses you'll enjoy the freedom to take courses on topics that range from Witchcraft and Magic in Early Modern Europe trials to the history of Imperial Russia to Modern Latin American History. By the time you graduate you'll have taken courses that cover a range of time periods and geographic locations.
In addition to the talented historians who are on the faculty, upper level students, usually during their senior year, have a chance to study with a visiting professor that will teach a specialized course on a topic not usually found in the department.

For example, if you Google the keywords "toy store Montreal" the first website that comes up sees 4210.526% more traffic than the 6th result. RobboDesign will show you how to manage and grow your SEO company.
Now, there are other outside elements that might effect the click-through rate to your website. For example: your website description, how much the user trusts your brand over your competition's brands, etc. However, I think it it safe to say that higher placing websites will almost always get exponentially more traffic. Alex Becker has just released an awesome SEO guide which you can read a review for more information on how you can rank on page 1.
In terms of traffic, Google is the number one website in the world and the number one search engine with nearly a two-thirds market share. As you can see from our research, ranking high on Google has never been more important. Another search that many use in the health and fitness niche is "metabolic cooking review" which can help users lose weight with healthy weight loss recipes.

RE THE letter "Center City driver frustrated by bicyclists" (Oct. 28):
Mr. Bockman wrote, "It is becoming ever more frustrating to have to share the road with bicyclists." But if all bicyclists were driving cars instead, they'd be taking up three times as much road space sideways, and at least twice as much lengthwise! It's the other drivers who are in the way, not the bicyclists.
A bicyclist has a legal right to take as much road space as necessary while riding as far to the right as is practicable. If a bicyclist is riding on the right beside parked cars, the cyclist has a right to ride far enough out to avoid getting hit by an opening car door, even if that means taking the lane in front of a car.

GRANDVILLE -- A woman who left her Chihuahua in the car while she did some shopping pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and abandonment resulting in death.
Duong Thuy Nguyen made an unscheduled appearance Monday in Grandville District Court, a tactic often used to avoid media attention, where she was ordered to pay $203 in fines and also will have to repay the city of Grandville for emergency services provided June 14 outside RiverTown Crossings mall.
Grandville police say Nguyen, a 36-year-old mother of two from Grand Rapids, left her male dog, Lucky, in her car while she shopped at the Grandville mall June 14. The outside temperature was 78 degrees when firefighters freed the dog. Investigators estimated the car's interior temperature at 100 degrees.
Emergency responders from Grandville gave the dog oxygen through a mask and squirted water into its mouth from a syringe, but it died as they aided it in the parking lot.
The car had been parked about three hours, with the windows cracked an inch, before the dog was rescued just before 5 p.m., according to police.
At a previous hearing, Nguyen told The Press through an interpreter she was very sorry her pet who slept with family members in their beds had died.
"It was not intentional -- it was being just stupid," Nguyen said. "We loved the dog."

The table below shows how and when herbs can be planted in the garden.
Bay is usually planted as a shrub or a tree, from October to April. Bay makes a good feature when planted in containers, but it will live happily in the garden, as long as it is in a sheltered spot, protected from cold winds.
Rosemary and Sage can be planted as seed or cuttings in April.
Parsley,is sown as seed in April or September. The seed takes a long time to germinate. This is speeded up by bruising the seeds or covering the seed row with boiling water.

To the Editor.—
The article by Marty et al entitled "Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Infected by Campylobacter fetus" (1983;249:1190) had some descrepancies that I would like to call to attention.The author identified C fetus subspecies fetus as the cause of the infection in the case presented. In the "Comment" section of the article, he mentioned that this subspecies has a predilection for infecting the debilitated, immunosuppressed, or elderly patient. To support that statement, he referred to two articles, one by Guerrant et al and the other by File et al.Neither of those articles documented a human infection caused by C fetus subspecies fetus; similarly, I have not been able to find a case report of a human infection caused by this subspecies.There are two possibilities to this case: (1) that the organism was correctly identified and that this represents the first documented infection in a human caused

After going topless, wearing a mantard, enduring sloppy seconds in a kissing contest, bunk beds and a truckload of trash talk, David Good and Natalie Getz, have been named the winners of Bachelor Pad's $250,000 prize.
"It feels fantastic and surreal to be a hundred-thousandaire. I hope I wake up tomorrow and it's still real," says Good, an entrepreneur from Dayton, Ohio, who feared for his chances when it came down to a vote by the contestants he had a hand in eliminating. "I thought we played the game well, but I was sweating it."
Getz, currently a L.A. bartender, was also worried. "I could see my heart beating. It was a 50-50 shot," she tells PEOPLE. "I kept doing the vote in my head trying to figure out who were our friends, but you don't know what people would base their vote on."
One reason they thought they'd lose was that their competition, Kiptyn Locke and Tenley Molzahn, were two of the Bachelor franchise's nicest alums. "No one wants to see them lose. They are awesome, sweet people. It isn't an act. They really do poop rainbows and smiley faces," said Good, 28, who plans to use his winnings to promote his upcoming book, The Man Code, and finance a fun day for his hometown's military families. Getz, 28, added, "They found love on the show. They're the perfect couple. Everyone likes a happy ending."
After the vote, the dating duo was separated and had to choose whether to share or keep the money. If one picked keep, the money was theirs alone. Two keeps meant the prize would have been divided among the castoffs, but they ultimately both chose to share. "I feel pretty lucky sharing this with one of my best friends," said Getz, who will use her half to pay off student loans, start a prostate cancer charity in honor of her dad, a survivor, and get a styling business off the ground. "I may end up with the money and the guy," she says. "I'm just glad I didn't win when I was 21 and would have blown it shopping."

Diaz' hearing postponed; 25 subpoenas on the way
The Arizona Boxing Commission rarely has to deal with dozens of subpoenas and the prospect of 10 hours of witness testimony for a simple licensing hearing. Yet that's exactly the scenario that was laid out by Joe Diaz' attorneys this morning.
