I didn't expect to cry. I was caught completely off guard. I don't even like cats. Jesus.
PART TWO: One of her daughters was Primal Coach Kitty's mother. She has appeared in these pages as the cat that slept in the pothole. Even prettier than the generations before, sadly, her IQ had again been halved. It led to a bright but brief life. Her first litter of kittens actually was a litter of kitten. It fell out of her as she walked across the living room. She turned and sniffed it with a 'what the hell is THAT?' look on her face, and then walked away in disinterest. Again, College Gay Panda's Stealth Spay Program went into action, but it took me a while to save up enough from tips when I was also paying tuition, and she had a few litters first.
She figured out a way to climb onto the roof and could not figure out how to get back down. Hunger held no sway over her. She would run back and forth on the roof yowling sadly for days. Finally, I would get the ladder and bring her down. After a meal and a quick nap, she'd be back on the roof pacing in confusion. Dying in the pothole was inevitable.
And you've met Primal Coach Kitty. One day I will post her picture with the face that she makes whenever I play Katy Perry. She is not as pretty as her mother, but traded up an IQ point. Still, she has managed to set her tail on fire, fall through a skylight, trap herself behind the washing machine, roll off the entertainment center, and have her head sat on by Lady Friend. Primal Coach Kitty has a bad habit of waiting until you start to sit and then diving under your buttocks. Every day, I'm a brand new friend in a shiny new world, and would I like to make her bacon? And listen to her yowl in the shower for the superior acoustics? And watch her chase and attack her tail, and then cry out piteously because it hurt?
The Stealth Spay program was in high gear by the time Primal Coach Kitty was born, and I managed to get her fixed before her genes were passed on even once. The Panda Parents had lost interest in the show hall and were just keeping the cats in cages at that point, making periodic trips to the pound to dump off a few. I fixed every single one that I could and found them other homes. The last five I took with me when I moved out, looking like some neurotic cat person at age 21 who is substituting feline love for human.
Primal Coach Kitty had spent the first two years of her life in a cage seeing nothing but birds, and didn't even know that people were for petting when I moved her in with me at my new place. She flopped over on the floor and stared at the ceiling for hours. Then she flopped onto the other side and stared at the ceiling for hours. I'd poke her to see if she were still alive, thinking of news features about institutionalized children with vacant stares because they sit in cribs all day by themselves. That was pretty much Primal Coach Kitty right there.
When she stood, she moved her head jerkily, just like a bird pecking for grubs. It took years for me to convince her to be friends, and even today, she doesn't quite get how to approach for petting. She crab-walks with her head at a funny angle until she hits my fingers. Now she's much more animate, bitching when I'm in the shower because she wants her turn (she licks herself in the shower) and shrieking after Benign Poltergeist. It took this cat a decade to become a kitten, and her brain has permanently peaked there.
Why is this journal entry about my cat? You know why. I dared to eat three fingerling potatoes on Tuesday, and the panda body is still in revolt. Talking about myself was too depressing today and I am in a funk. So you got a long story about nothing at all, and I apologize.

UPDATE: (in explanation of *)
I have met some breeders who are absolutely fantastic people. They know everything about whatever it is that they raise. Their cats are well-kept and get lots of affection and good medical care and the breeding programs are very controlled. Every kitten is found a home, not taken to a pound. Females who have produced enough litters are fixed and become pets. These breeders aren't in it for the money (good luck with that if you are), they are simply geeks for a certain breed. While this is not a hobby that I would take up myself, I don't condemn them. I know what it is to love history and want to keep it alive.
The problem is breeders like my parents, and the legions like them. True hobbyists are outnumbered by those who are in it because A: they like the attention in the show hall; B: they think that they're going to make money; C: they think kittens are cute. Litters are produced carelessly and by the bucket load, and one particularly cruel breeder that I knew as a cub culled kittens in her freezer rather than even try to find homes. Some are kept in tiny cages and denied medical care (because vet bills reduce profit). If you don't want an animal from the pound or a rescue agency, and you are in love with a certain breed, do as much research on the business creating them as you can. Never trust the pictures on a website.
Primal Coach Kitty is doing so much better. She has forgotten 99.9% of her life before. The .1% that she remembers is only when she is at the vet for something and is put in a cage there, and she gets this frightened glaze to her eyes that just kills me. Luckily, she is a very healthy cat and almost never has to go.
They may not be psychic, but it would seem that they have excellent vision. They can see a sucker coming from miles away :-)
Ah hahahha!
I bet Benign Poltergeist is mad at being called a Fuzzy Yellow Thing
Pleeeaase post pics of Primal Coach Kitty!
I love your big cat-lovin' Panda heart.

I would love to post a pic of Primal Coach Kitty doing her I-Hate-Katy-Perry face, but it will take me a while. (Never posted a picture before and I don't know how. I may have to wait for Lady Friend in December when she learns about this journal, because she is tech-savvy and Gay Panda is not.)

I am a cat lover too. Our cats are all SPCA rescues who are neutered before they can reproduce. No specific breeding, just your everyday ordinary cats, but I sure do love them.

Awwwwwww. I haven't had a cat since our last one died when I was 4 >.< However, I'm not complaining because I cannot afford any more pets. I'm going to be broke in half an hour because I need to take my remaining money out of the bank to buy hay and shavings and frozen mice. -_-
Oh, the toils of the animal loving artist Pixie.
Maybe if you took Benign Poltergeist to the Physics, they could counsel him and help him not to goad Primal Coach Kitty so much? Perhaps his persistant 'yo mama' jokes stem from previous Poltergeist Parenting issues?

i need to help me somebody for making a code in assembly land or c lang on 8051 microcontroller for serial communication that it should increment and decrement for 1 and 10 and it should clear the stack and turn in previously state. the values should be given from keyboard by hex values...
Re: help
Could you restate the problem more clearly please? That hardly makes any sense. Which language do you prefer - C or assembly?
What keyboard? In fact, what hardware are you using? Is it an embedded system of some kind, or a software emulator, or something else?
Re: help
i`ve said i need a code because it is my exam.It should be in assembly language or C (important one of them) for 8051 microcontroller.
the exam is that the code should increment and decrement (+1 and -1) the 7- seg display of developed motherboard and increment and decrement (+10 and -10) and alos should clear registers(stack) on previous state (if the state was on 7 seg display 0000 it should be so).
i just need a source code...
Re: help
I mean after executing a code on hex by ASSEM or KEIL it should increment +1 (e.g. 0000,0001,0002,0003,...) decremnt -1 (0019,0018,0017....),increment +10 (0001,0010,0020,0030,0040...) decrement -10 (0040,0030,0020,0010...) and clear it turn it to previous state (if a inciallization state was 0000 then it should clear registers and turn to this state).
a communication between pc and motherboard is serial communication (RS232) DATA CABLE.
increment and decrement on 7 seg display should be inicialized from 5 keys on keyboard ( e.g. CTRL +1,ALT -1,TAB +10,SHIFT -10 AND DEL clear and previous state)
Re: help
When you say it's for an exam, is that an exam that tests YOUR ability to write code?
It sounds like you're using specialised hardware, so only someone with that hardware will be able to provide code that works. Have you tried asking your tutor for the code?
Re: help
yes it is exam to test my ability to write code. And Im using specialized hardware and it is MIKROELEKTRONIKA -DEVELOPMENT TOOLS WITH 8051 MICROCONTROLLER, You can log on website :[http://www.mikroe.com/en/tools/easy8051a/[U]] there you can see more details ..
Re: help
OK, well I don't have this hardware, and I can't get the 8051a kit anyway because it's out of stock.
Looks like it's been superseded by http://www.mikroe.com/en/offer/8051/easystart1/
If you get me this kit, I'll give you the code you want. $360 isn't unreasonable for a few hours' work, done by a professional developer and more or less guaranteed to get you the pass you want.
When is the code due? I'll need at least a week after receiving the hardware.
I can't guarantee it'll work on the 8051a of course, you'll have to make any changes necessary.
I also can't guarantee that your professor won't suspect cheating.
Re: help
no thanlks..and im sorry for takin a time.

"There is no cause for panic," reminds Christine Amstutz, the Hart District supervisor of health services. The emergency declarations by the U.S. Department of Health and the State of California are simply necessary to release monies and resources in case an epidemic does materialize.
In the meantime, Hart District schools are emphasizing basic health precautions for students and families:
* Wash hands frequently, especially after coughing and sneezing. Soap and water are effective, as are alcohol-based hand cleaners.
* Cover nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and dispose of the used tissue in the trash. If no tissue is available, use the inside of the elbow rather than the hand to screen a cough or sneeze.
* Children running a temperature of 100 degrees or higher should be kept at home.
* Face masks are unnecessary for members of the general public unless they are sick or working with a sick person.
"Swine flu is treated in the same way as regular influenza-with good hygiene practices and plenty of rest at home, away from work or school," Amstutz continued. "This type of flu can be treated with an antiviral medication if it is started early. Check with your physician first."
The Hart District provides hand cleaning stations at all of its schools with an alcohol-based hand cleaner. Students are encouraged to use wash their hands before and after eating and to avoid putting their hands to their mouths or noses.

The times were tough but Super Retail Group, the owner of Supercheap Auto, BCF, Ray's Outdoors and Goldcross Cycles, was able to maintain its sales and succeeded with a 60 per cent increase in net profit after tax to $24.9 million for its half year results of 2011.
Super Retail Group managing director Peter Birtles said the results were a testament to the resilience of the businesses and the of continued investment in store development, range development, trade partnerships, supply chain and team member development.
"These results build on the strong momentum we've established throughout the group and reflect the strength of our business model," he said.
"We are particularly pleased with the positive outcomes we've achieved from our investment in strategic initiatives over the past five years, which are evidenced in these results.
"During the period, we've successfully managed to maintain sales growth, while also investing in our store network and delivering improvements in our business operations."
The company's flagship store, Supercheap Auto, reported like-for-like sales growth of 3.4 per cent, against like-for-like sales of 6.1 per cent in the prior comparative period. Goldcross Cycles' like-for-like sales growth was negative 13.5 per cent, reflecting the slowdown in the bicycle market.
Meanwhile, the opening of 15 new Ray's Outdoor stores contributed to a 60 per cent sales increase of $201.4 million. BCF's like-for-like sales growth was 1.5 per cent, against like-for-like sales growth of 8.8 per cent in the prior comparative period.
"This positive result was respectable given the number of wet weeks along the East Coast of Australia during the period," the company said.
According to Birtles, the group will keep at its business model, which includes looking at growth opportunities.
"We plan to continue to grow our store network, opening two to three new Auto & Cycle stores and four to six new Leisure stores during the second half."

To the Editor: Dr Ekelund and colleagues1 reported that time spent sedentary is unrelated to established cardiometabolic risk factors after adjusting for time spent in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA). Although the authors studied 20 871 children and adolescents and measured sedentary time in an objective way, we believe it is premature to conclude that sedentary time is not associated with adverse cardiometabolic health outcomes in children.

What's Next in Sequencing Platforms?
8:30 Chairperson's Remarks
Tim Harkins, Ph.D., Director, R&D, Advanced Applications & Collaborations, Life Technologies
Nanopore Sequencing
8:35 Nanopore Graphene-Based Electronic Devices
Marija Drndic, Ph.D., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania
Graphene is an exceptional material for high-speed electronics, as well as a revolutionary membrane material due to its strength and atomic thickness. Nanopores in suspended graphene membranes are currently regarded as candidates for ultrafast DNA sequencing. When a single DNA molecule passes through a nanopore, it blocks the field-driven ions passing through the pore and is detected by measuring the ion current reduction. Due to the thin nature of graphene membranes and reduced pore resistance, we observe larger current signals than in the case of traditional solid-state nanopores. Use of graphene as a membrane material opens the door to a new class of nanopore devices in which electronic sensing and control are performed directly at the pore.
9:05 Noise and Bandwidth Optimization for Nanopore Sensing at Sub-Microsecond Timescales
Jacob Rosenstein, Research Scientist, Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University
We describe the integration of solid-state nanopores with custom low-noise complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, in which the electronics are directly exposed to the electrolyte. As a result of this close integration and careful design, sub-microsecond temporal resolution has been demonstrated with nanopore recordings. Speeding up the electronics, complements recent efforts to control and "slow down" DNA translocation, leading to faster and more accurate reads.
9:35 Solving the Challenges of DNA Sequencing for Molecular Diagnostics
Stefan Roever, CEO & Founder, Genia Technologies
Genia has developed a versatile nanopore-based platform which allows for single molecule, electrical, real-time analysis without the need for complicated optics, labels, amplification, or fluidics. The sensor itself is truly transformative and allows very small electrical signals (~0.2 pA current levels) to be seen high above the noise floor. The data shows that with highly accurate analog electronics and clever data analysis techniques, single base discrimination is possible, and adequate SNR can be reached to perform DNA sequencing.
Moving Toward the Clinic
10:05 HLA Typing from Genomic Data Using Omixon TargetAttila Berces, Ph.D., CEO, Omixon BiocomputingNext generation sequencing offers inexpensive determination of the HLA type at the highest possible resolution, but the analysis is challenging. I show results obtained with Omixon Target from targeted amplification, HLA-seq kit, exome kits and whole genome data from Illumina, Ion Torrent and Roche454 sequencers and validation on HapMap samples.
10:20 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
11:00 Scientific Advancements using Ion Torrent's PGM
Tim Harkins, Ph.D., Director, R&D, Advanced Applications & Collaborations, Life TechnologiesDr. Timothy Harkins will discuss several emerging applications performed using the PGM. The PGM is a bench top, next generation sequencer that is able to scale in throughput to meet the individual needs of a project. This presentation will cover several advancements from low frequency variant detection in cancer to shotgun metagenomics to de novo sequencing using long read chemistries.
11:30 Towards Enterprise-Scale Genomics: The Gene Partnership Project at Boston Children's Hospital
David Margulies, M.D., Executive Director, The Gene Partnership, Children's Hospital Boston

Structural Variation
1:45 Chairperson's Remarks
Kevin Davies, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, Bio-IT World
1:50 Rapid Detection and Characterization of Structural Variation in Hundreds of Human Genomes
Ira M. Hall, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics; Center for Public Health Genomics, University of Virginia
Structural variation (SV) is a major source of genomic diversity in mammals, but accurate detection of SV from NGS data remains a challenge. Here, we present a multi-sample version of our breakpoint detection algorithm, HYDRA, that can simultaneously detect and genotype SV breakpoints in hundreds to thousands of whole genome sequence datasets while using minimal RAM. We further outline a general framework for the characterization of both simple and complex SV in cancer genomes, and present results from an initial study of 64 tumor/normal pairs.
2:20 Discovery and Functional Impact of Structural Variation across 1000 Genomes
Ryan E. Mills, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics; Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan Medical School
Genomic structural variants (SVs) are a poorly understood class of genetic variation. Through the 1000 Genomes Project, we have analyzed sequence data for 1,092 individuals across 14 populations and have precisely identified many variable regions that have been assessed for functional implications. We have additionally constructed integrated maps of genetic variation incorporating a subset of high quality SNP, INDEL, and deletion variants in these individuals onto phased haplotypes. These data sets will help further our understanding of the formation and prevalence of common and rare chromosomal rearrangements, informing future studies investigating the impact of such variation in human health and disease phenotypes.
2:50 Refreshment Break, Last Chance for Exhibit and Poster Viewing
3:15 Poster Awards Sponsored by Quantum
3:30 Combining Effects from Rare and Common Genetic Variants in Exome-Wide Association Study of Sequence Data
Hugues Aschard, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Harvard University
Next-generation sequencing has the potential to revolutionize complex trait genetics by directly measuring common and rare genetic variants within a genome-wide context. Strategies that model the effects of both common and rare variants could enhance the power of identifying disease-associated genes. We evaluated various strategies for association of rare, common, or a combination of both rare and common variants on quantitative phenotypes in unrelated individuals using the Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 data.
4:00 Taking NGS into the Clinic
Gholson J. Lyon, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Human Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; Research Scientist, Utah Foundation for Biomedical Research; Adjunct Assistant Professor, Psychiatry, New York University Child Study Center
For the implementation of genomic analysis in the clinic, it will be critically important to optimize and standardize pipelines with high sensitivity and specificity for variant calling. This includes having sufficient sequencing depth as well as high quality of sequencing data. One way to reduce false positives could be to use variants called by two or more variant calling approaches on one set of sequencing data. We are using various tools such as ANNOVAR and VAAST to prioritize variants from various families for follow-up in case-control and biological studies.
4:30 Tools for Processing Next-Generation Sequencing Data
Mark Gerstein, Ph.D., Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Yale University - Download Podcast
A central problem for 21st century science is annotating the human genome and making this annotation useful for the interpretation of personal genomes. My talk will focus on annotating the bulk of the genome that does not code for canonical genes, concentrating on intergenic features such as TF binding sites and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and structural variations and pseudogenes. Much of this work has been carried out within the ENCODE and 1000 Genomes projects.

text: Penning hard-core terrorists up at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba was a bad idea, President Barack Obama has said. Making men dedicated to slaughtering Americans think they might be about to die by drowning is just wrong, his administration has held. But actually killing people, including Americans, with strikes from remote-controlled drone aircraft - with little evidence, and no proceedings other than an OK from the White House - that's all right.

More Sony Odin and Yuga concept renders appear to illustrate size and specs difference
0. phoneArena 28 Nov 2012, 09:33 posted on
After we got crude outlines of the upcoming 5" flagships from Sony - the Odin and the Yuga - compared to a Galaxy S III and Droid DNA in terms of size and specs, we now have more fleshed out renders, this time comparing the two against each other.
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

The design is very simple, so everything will depend on material and build quality.
Hopefully Sony will have some nice functionalities for the phones.
23. sid07desai (Posts: 290; Member since: 03 May 2012)
build quality should be elegant an strong at the same time. They are using Dragontrail glass (still a rumor). But Sony has previously launched many devices with D-trail glass. It is supposed to have 10x more tensile strength than Corning's gorrila glass.
25. MeoCao (unregistered)
tks for the info dude. 10 times more than Gorilla, very impressive.
Hopefully this will be a breakthru for Sony.
31. simplyj (Posts: 404; Member since: 23 Dec 2009)
Not according to Wiki:
Dragontail - with a Vickers hardness test rating of 595 to 673.
Gorilla - with a Vickers hardness test rating of 622 to 701
40. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Is hardness and tensile strength same? He talked about "tensile strength" and not hardness. Diamond is hardest but is brittle :)

Yes. The large iPad screen gave me Retina Cancer.

Oh Wendy-man, eye cancer eh? Haha...
What if this was resolution was adopted by Apple?
The first thing you'd say is, "1080p? Take my money Apple"
You might add that it would cure short-sightedness, or even cure cancer (opposite of what you said)...

There should be awards for the most ridiculous comments.. this would win for sure.
43. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Yup. I find 5inch screen size for a mobile phone too much.. It's like talking to a tablet during calls.
7. Grishm (Posts: 54; Member since: 18 May 2012)
I see the battery listed as 2400-2800 mAh. If it is true, then that's a major step up by Sony. Addition of Micro SD slot is a huge plus too.
If all goes well, we might get to see some serious competition for Samsung Galaxy S IV from Sony.

They are definitely going to be much more awesome !
10. nyamo (Posts: 274; Member since: 19 Mar 2011)
looks like from a design stand point non removable battery :( hope that isn't the case but if it is deal breaker for me
12. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Thats only a concept. But the waterproff one should be something with a non removable battery.
22. Coolkid (Posts: 25; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Actually Xperia V is waterproof too... But it has removable battery... So you can't be sure that Yuga will come with non-removable battery cos of waterproof...:)
28. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Oh I see, Intresting info right there mate.
37. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
The Motorola Defy is Water and Dustproof too, but have removable Battery.
But this Dragontrail glass in the back, probably is non removable...
I prefer other materials for the phone's body. But if this is really a Dragontrail, with good thick (not too thick, to be light and not too slim, to be resistant) I could get used with it.
11. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
I'm still skeptical if the supposed Quad S4 Pro of those phones can keep the phone smooth in the long est run.
13. Thephonegeek (Posts: 118; Member since: 22 Nov 2012)
One thing is clear. Sony won't use custom Jelly bean UI. They will be using their own beautiful timescape UI. The concept makers should've focused on that.
15. cnyte (Posts: 28; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
better looking phones than the current offerings
16. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
THIS LOOKS AMAZING! please let it come out like this sony
18. Jyakotu (Posts: 844; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
Since I'm so used to seeing the TimeScape UI, stock Android doesn't look as attractive as the phones. Granted, the Xperia PLAY for Verizon had stock Gingerbread, but even then, it looked awkward to me.
19. siluro (Posts: 46; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Looks like Sony finally caught up with the times. These new phones have a beautiful new and elegant look. Much better than previous models that were terribly generic (with the exception of the Xperia S). Other makers will have something to fear!
26. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
"Much better than previous models that were terribly generic (with the exception of the Xperia S)"
really :O? the Arc, V, Ion, Sola, Go, Ray all have terribly generic design?
you can't be serious. sony (ericsson) was and always will be the company that has the most beautiful designs, whether in software or hardware.
50. emes360 (Posts: 13; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
Exacly. That's one of the things i've always liked about Sony. They try to get a different design with each line of phones, and different to all the other companies. (Unlike Apple or Samsung; bassicaly all Samsungs look the same, the SIII and Note(II) being exceptions.)
20. thunderising (Posts: 232; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
Love the smaller one. A 5" phone fitting into the space of a Galaxy Nexus which sports a 4.65" display
Now that's what I'm talking about!
21. xtroid2k (Posts: 518; Member since: 11 Jan 2010)
I love the design concept, but will it fit in my pocket and I probably would end up getting a bluetooth earpiece as I would refuse to put such a large screened piece of hardware to my ear. I feel that as we get more advanced, the concept of a phone will be lost. The phone should be the most important part still of any "cell phone"
24. exynos5 (Posts: 21; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
by the time it releases it will be outdated by gs4 or some other thing
35. redmd (Posts: 1269; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Yes Sony is always late to release. relevance is diminished thru time.
27. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Another easy to shatter glass phone...sony, give it up.
30. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Looks wonderful.
Simple yet elegant and distinctive, with truly high end specs .
You can actually tell it's Sony despite of the simplicity.
Great products!
33. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
best part about it......is if the concept holds up to be true, it is slightly smaller and more compact than the Galaxy S3!! .....now that would be amazing
34. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
That's what I've been saying all along..manufacturers aren't that crazy to increase the mainstream phone above the limit set by the S3.
Instead, they will use the space to the maximum.
32. StreetNerd (Posts: 819; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
if only they make WP8 devices =(
36. redmd (Posts: 1269; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
seriously people, that leaked design similar to Xperia X2 was way way better than this. this looked to me like an LG phone.
38. KolyaAk (Posts: 2; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
Agree, it looks like Vu from LG which is already an outdated model since last month LG released Vu2 (unfortunately only in Korea but hopefully coming soon to other markets) with a greater design and unique remote control features seamlessly integrated in noti-panel and lockscreen.
39. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
That LOOKS SOO DAMN GOOD even though SONY dont use STOCK ANDROID. BUT CAN WE PLEASE PLEASE WAIT till CES 13'? It's too damn early I'm looking at the ODIN or the GS IV. Com on guys STOP TEASING FOR ONCE
41. MC1123 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
looks very good..but i know sony.. it could be better... and is this a nexus device? and im deffinetely getting one! then again.. i'll buy an android but only nexus or made by sony (or motorola) since they make good looking device!! stylish at its best!
42. pliskin1 (Posts: 59; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
Nice looking phones, but 5" screens are too much.
On a side note, horray for an IR blaster and FM tuner! Can you say TV remote =D.
Seriously, I can't understand why more manufacturers can't put these in the phones.
44. XYZ360 (Posts: 53; Member since: 01 Jan 2012)
Could have done better in design
45. bipinm (Posts: 124; Member since: 07 Oct 2012)
i love it...i want it...
47. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
looks great but I know it won't feel as good in the hand.
that is the reason I love the xperia t how it feels in the hand is brilliant.
48. Jasondt (Posts: 1; Member since: 30 Nov 2012)
2 things are concerning me... How about the release of the Odin and Yuga? Different site's are telling me that the Odin will release in Europe and now the Yuga will release in Europa? There's nothing sure until CES. And then there is Battery life? 2400-2800? I won't complain as i wan't 1 of these.
49. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
wish to see you soon "YUGA"
51. Googlethis (Posts: 179; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Judging by the high praise by some of the commenters im asuming sony is a very good phone production comapany. jw have a few sony phones never really used them beyond adding them to my collection.

This review is from: PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire Intel Haswell Ready Power Supply
Pros: Delivers 12v to two Visiontek 4870 cards, x6 processor, and 4 HDDs without a ripple. This is exactly what a power supply is for. Quality power delivered without hesitation.
Cons: This has a lot of cable to it. Do not purchase this power supply if you are not willing to make an effort with the cable management. PC Power & Cooling has made it clear that they don't do modular... and why.
Other Thoughts: For the price I can not think of a finer power supply. It earns its reputation, and its 5 eggs.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: HTC Mogul Gray CDMA 1xEV-DO Sprint Cell Phones
Pros: Excellent keyboard, touch sensitivity, speed, overall a great little PDA Phone. 8GB SDHC card confirmed with the upgraded ROM. Settings -> Task Manager -> Button -> End programs by tapping "X" ... That clears up the background processes getting out of control. GPS Navigation built in.
Cons: Small touchscreen, and fairly low resolution. On par for this category however. Not really a Con exactly...but For this much money HTC could have made it a bit bigger.
Other Thoughts: With the addition of a few programs, and making a few settings changes the HTC Mogul is one of the best PDA phones available. Spend a bit of money on some software such as Opera browser, Spb Pocket Plus, and Google Maps. This will improve your experience by a great deal. Good luck.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket 939 89W ADA4200DAA5CD Processor
Pros: This is pretty much the last that you will see of the Sckt 939 X2 processors. As usual AMD has the best bang for the buck... and this is no exception. I have purchased 3 of these processors. And on stock air cooling the average overclock was a bit over 2.7GHz
Cons: N/A

Everything Buckley did was to help poor children
I would like to say a few words about Debbie Buckley, who was the subject of The News' lead story on Jan. 13.
First of all, it is clear that she overstepped her bounds, as the story stated. But what wasn't said was that everything she did was to help the poor children of Buffalo. None of the money she spent was for her personal benefit.
Buckley was able, through hard work and dedication, to lift herself out of poverty and succeed first as a nurse, then as an outstanding teacher and finally as a member of the Buffalo Public Schools administration.
When she worked as a math teacher at Waterfront School, she felt broken-hearted that so many students with good potential were failing and no one seemed to care. She began tutoring them after school at area churches, then opened the Mastery Center and recruited volunteers to help. My husband, a retired engineer, and I, a retired science teacher, were two of those volunteers. We worked with the kids, and were able to help them gain math and reading skills, pass Regents exams after previous failures and increase self-confidence. We never received any remuneration. In fact, when Buckley needed rent money to keep the center going, we gladly wrote some checks.
She and her mother, the Rev. Dalphne Coleman, are both deeply spiritual women. They prayed fervently that a way would be found for them to continue the good work we had begun. I am sure that when she was given the position as a grant manager, she saw it as an answer to her prayers.
No training was given to her. There was no oversight by the administration or the Board of Education. Buckley saw a lot of money being wasted. She knew what worked and was determined to follow through.
Buckley certainly made mistakes, but her heart was always with the children. I'm sure it still is.

Hudson River group's benefactor dies at 106
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Once Kathryn Wasserman Davis got a taste for kayaking on the Hudson River, it wasn't easy keeping her outings limited to the calmer coves and bays, even when she reached 100 years of age.
"She always wanted to go out into the main channel and feel the wind and waves. She wanted to stay out for hours," said Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson, a Poughkeepsie-based environmental and cultural preservation group that received a $20 million donation from Davis after she turned 100.
Davis' family said in a statement that the globe-trotting philanthropist died Tuesday at her home in Hobe Sound, Fla. She was 106.

Its only 11 days till Christmas, so if you have not done all your Christmas shopping yet then you better hurry! More consumers than ever this year will be doing their shopping online (up to 78% according to a survey from Tesco Direct!) so I thought I would share with you a few of our favourite shopping sites.
Don't worry that you can't make it to your nearest shopping centre, it is easier than ever (and very often cheaper) to purchase what you want online. Not wanting to write this article just about shopping, the sites I refer to are established digital leaders loved by members of the Zeta team, and like the contents of a Christmas stocking this article offers a variety of surprises including: a few insider e-commerce tips from Zeta, some shopping tips from me and a gift or two!
Fashion, Jewellery and Accessories
Whether you are buying for male or female, young or old there is something on ASOS for everyone. The site which launched in 2000, provided fashion to mimic celebrities styles but today has over 35,000 own label and branded fashion goods. The site combines fantastic usability and visually exquisite design to bring the traditional high street fashion shop window right onto your desktop.
Careful looking at the site at work though, it's very easy to lose hours looking at the pretty things.
Make sure you follow these guys on Twitter @asos for great offers, news and discount codes. Once more they are also doing FREE worldwide delivery for a limited period!
CDs and DVDs
CDs and DVDs are an easy gift for anyone, and reportedly the most common purchases made online.
Not an e-commerce site, but rather a clever price comparison site: www.find-dvd.co.uk and www.find-cd.co.uk lets you compare prices of DVDs and CDs from across the web in order to find you the best shopping deals, but is it any good? Yes.
I was thinking of buying a friend the Gossip Girl box set – thanks to find-dvd I saved myself £5 by purchasing from Amazon instead of Asda.
Well worth a look if you are on the hunt for CD's or DVD's!
If you want to buy someone some music but you are not sure what they like then try a Digital Music gift card! These are great if you want to give music as a gift as the recipient can download music that they want using a prepaid card so you don't need to worry about buying a song or artist they will enjoy. This might be a good gift for teenagers who like to download music from iTunes where parents do not want to register their credit cards incase their children go download crazy.
Got kids to buy for? Try ebay for new or nearly new kids toys. The site has gone from strength to strength over the years, letting users buy new, used or vintage items from private or professional sellers.
Apart from purchasing gifts ebay is also great for selling those unwanted gifts come the New Year.
No idea how to use ebay? People are making money from selling other people's stuff online. If you are based in London check out www.stuffusell.co.uk. These guys come and collect your items, sell them on ebay for you and give you the cash! (There is a slight commission fee in it for them of course!)
When it comes to books, Amazon is king. I will always be brand loyal and purchase books from Amazon. Why? Because they are reliable and have always given me excellent service and discounts. Amazon's adoption of the long tail is much admired, successfully creating endless choice which results in unlimited demand. It works on me, I go on to search for one book and end up purchasing four or more after Amazon cleverly tells me I might also 'like these'. Famous for books, maybe, but Amazon now extends to beauty, electricals, cds, dvds, games and more.
Why does Amazon continue to be a perfect case study for e-commerce design?
Well one answer lies in Amazon's constant AB testing and design. Things like simple, well designed forms and one click ordering set them apart as an industry leader. For any one looking to increase their e-commerce conversion rates we would highly recommend purchasing the econsultancy checkout optimization guide and making sure that you or your web developer are conforming to all design best practices.
You cannot really go wrong with chocolates. A site I like is Hotel Chocolat. Their chocolate is absolutely divine and they have a varied Christmas gift selection. The site conveys clear last order Christmas delivery on their home page as well as easy navigation when choosing gifts. Allowing the user to browse by occasion, product or person. They also do corporate gifts!
Their best seller is the Classic Christmas Selection at only £20:
Gourmet Food
For the speciality food lovers out there, Real Food Direct offers an amazing choice of yummy treats and festive favourites. Clear and simple to use, the site offers a great choice of luxury food stuffs from small family run business to speciality dealers from all over the UK. As this time of year grows nearer Real Food Direct offer some of the finest Christmas hampers on the net. Real Food Direct a wide range of hampers, each filled with either an assortment of Christmas goodies, fresh organic food stuffs or a range of indulgent chocolates, all of which may be quite difficult to give away!
Need a gift for someone special? Why not try a memorable experience. Whether it is a theatre night out, a weekend break, a spa treatment or a day of Zorbing, there is a lot out there to choose from,
Wahanda and Red Letter Days both offer an excellent choice of days out and nights to remember. I have also found a 10% discount code from that will save you even more:
Got something specific to buy?
When you have something specific to buy, a branded item maybe or an electrical appliance and you are after the best price then try Google product search. Obvious as it might seem, many people do not know about it. Google product search acts in a similar way to a price comparison sites, simply search for the product you are after and Goolge will return you a list of items and allow you to compare prices meaning you can buy what you want at the most competitive price. User reviews also make Google product search even better as you can narrow down your choice according to customer feedback of various sites.
Check out this demo search for an iPhone 4 16GB: iPhone 4 16GB Google Product Search
Unusual Gifts
Do you know about Etsy? The social shopping site. An online community putting buyers and sellers together. Well it has a pretty cool tool for helping you source gifts for your friends based on their Facebook profile, take a look here: http://www.etsy.com. You log in via the Facebook api and select your friend. The application then delivers a variety of gift solutions from Etsy sellers that your friend may like based on the content of their profile!
Achica.com is the new private member's online department store which launched this year. Apparently it has been causing a stir in the world of homeware and interiors by offering leading luxury lifestyle brands at up to 70% off RRP.
I don't really like the fact that you need to register before you can browse items, I think in terms of usability this will put people off – although I understand the business model these guys are trying to achieve, this will be a huge limitation.
I quickly signed up and it seems that the site has 1 day only shopping events for different categories and exclusive discounts, however the text layout and navigation of the site fails to communicate this well, leaving me nothing to return for.
Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!
Our gift to you!
A 30% off code for all purchases from econsultancy: simply enter the following code on all purchases or downloads from the site: ECRF1084.
Well, I hope I have given you a few ideas to help fill those stockings for Christmas day. If there is anything particular you are after but are having trouble finding please drop us a comment or ask us @ZetaAgency and we will be happy to point you in the right direction! Seller or service provider? Maybe we can help you with your ecommerce website for Christmas 2011!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year All!

Two studies of how bird flu could mutate into forms that spread faster between humans should not be published until a better threat assessment has been carried out, health experts decided yesterday.
The research, in the US and in the Netherlands, studied the mutations needed to make H5N1 bird flu transmit between mammals. Just a few mutations would make it as infectious as normal flu, the researchers said last year.
The US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity fears the information could be used by bioterrorists and in December asked two leading journals, Science and Nature, to withhold details of

King Richard II is today considered one of Shakespeare's most important history plays and one with many unique qualities. In writing King Richard II in 1595, Shakespeare was returning to the subject of English history which had led to four plays a few years earlier in his career-- 1, 2, and 3 Henry VI and Richard III (the so-called first historical tetralogy), probably written and performed between 1591 and 1593. King Richard II in turn was the first of four additional connected history plays (the "second tetralogy") depicting events in the era preceding the earlier ones. The first tetralogy had depicted the bloody Wars of the Roses, an aristocratic civil war between the houses of York and …

Android 4.3 is inevitably headed our way, but while the HTC One might have just been injected with Android 4.2.2, the
But don't worry, it's coming. At least that's what a so-claimed insider speaking to Temefy reckons, saying that the 4.3 Jelly Bean update is well underway. And right now the plan is for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 to leap over 4.2.2 to get there.
The report goes on to tell us that the next update for the two handsets will arrive in November or December this year, making it very likely that 4.3 is on the cards.
Delayed droid
Finally, we're told that the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 2 will all be upgradeable to the next major Android overhaul - ie 5.0 Key Lime Pie. However, the release across the devices will be somewhat staggered.
About a month ago we heard that Android 4.2.2 for these devices was to be delayed beyond its expected June/July release date, so we're hardly gobsmacked.
It's all just rumours right now but it does a fair amount of sense if 4.3 is imminent. After all, what's the point of getting 4.2.2 if the next best thing is just around the corner?

That's not for me, and it's certainly not what the Reuse Everything eXperiment is about.
Case in point: our new driveway.
Instead of the standard slab of boring concrete, I thought it would be fun to create a basketball half court and inlay used brick from the old furnace chimney. Two weeks later, the forms for the brick have been poured.
We're going to make a family project out of putting in the bricks. I've never worked with concrete before, but what the heck. I've nearly built a house without a Dumpster, so how hard can it be to lay brick?
Shannon Quimby is building a new house on Southeast Rex Street by using the pieces of an old house rather than putting a scrap of it into the landfill. She writes about the project -- called the Reuse Everything eXperiment -- each Tuesday and Thursday.

'I was surprised that his order came so soon'
I am following up on George Talbot's Sept. 2 article, titled "As the Big Storm Loomed, Confusion Reigned on the Gulf Coast." It was a great article and the details were accurate. I would, however, like to expand on a couple of points.
First, I did not cancel the governor's mandatory evacuation order. Like everyone else on the coast, I was surprised that his order came so soon, and without local input. The result was a great deal of confusion that Sunday and the following Monday.
The toll bridge on the Foley Beach Express is a good example. By contract, the operator of the toll bridge is required to open the northbound lanes at no charge to citizens leaving the island when a mandatory evacuation is declared. At the same time, the company is required to close the southbound lanes to prevent entry or re-entry to the island.
While I do not believe Gov. Robert Bentley was aware of this when he made the declaration, it nonetheless created a great deal of operational confusion. Residents who commute to and from the island, and businesses that rely on commuters from off the island, had no idea if or when anyone would be allowed to cross the bridge.
Similarly, we fielded many phone calls from Mississippi and Louisiana residents who wanted to come to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores to ride out the storm but were not sure if they could do so.
That stated, let me also say that I never doubted that the governor's decision was made with our best interest at heart. He was genuinely concerned for our safety and the welfare of residents.
When we spoke with the governor on that Monday and made him aware of the problems caused by the evacuation order, his response was swift and practical. He turned over management of the evacuation to the coastal mayors, recognizing that it was the best way to deal with a situation that was changing hourly.
Second, the article implies that I was marketing Orange Beach as an "evacuation destination." That phrase was a tongue-in-cheek comment made by a constituent during the town hall meeting that was held on Monday at noon. There were approximately 150 people present, all of whom were very concerned about what was happening. The comment was simply intended to bring a little levity to a tough situation.
To be perfectly clear, I would never disregard the governor's order. I did want folks to know that we were open for business, but I made those remarks with the governor's permission.
To summarize, I want to thank the governor and Art Faulkner, EMA director, for working with us and fixing a confusing situation in a very short time. I truly believe this was a very useful learning experience for all of us.
We are now better prepared to deal with any upcoming situation, and our relationship with the governor's office is better than it has ever been.
Orange Beach
Use common sense and vote 'yes' on Tuesday
I noticed in the Sept. 10 "Political Skinny" column that a group called the Common Sense Campaign is backing a "no" vote to move funds from the oil and gas reserve fund to the state's General Fund.
Really? Let's use a little common sense.
Why would two Republican governors (former Gov. Bob Riley and current Gov. Robert Bentley) and the current Alabama House and Senate leaders tell you there is a funding crisis if it weren't true? Wouldn't that be political suicide ?
Gov. Riley was saved by the federal stimulus. That money is gone. This is about maintaining basic, minimal Medicaid coverage for children, the disabled and the elderly, with no increase in taxes and no revenue for administration.
One of the biggest drivers of rising health care insurance premiums is uncompensated care. Hospitals are required to treat anyone who shows up in the emergency room, even if they lack the ability to pay for services. That expense is passed on to those who are insured.
Do you really want to end Medicaid in Alabama?
Should be listing Obama's failures, not accomplishments
Regarding the Sept. 9 letter, "President Obama's list of accomplishments is long," the war in Iraq was closed out under President Obama, but not because of anything he did. In fact, his refusal to listen to the generals on the scene actually lengthened the chaos.
As for Afghanistan, Obama has given the Islamo-fascists a time line for renewing their terrorist attacks.
As for the Obama administration's economic successes, they have resulted in the greatest national debt in history, using money borrowed from China to mortgage the future for all Americans.
The economic trouble is blamed on President George W. Bush, but it can be traced to January 2007, when the Democrats took control of both houses of Congress and began pushing their bankrupt agenda.
Contrary to the writer's claim that Obama has "decreased our dependence on foreign oil and increased domestic oil production while encouraging research into alternative energy sources," he has stonewalled increased domestic production by killing the Canadian pipeline project and new drilling leases in the Gulf of Mexico.
The so-called Affordable Care Act doesn't solve any insurance problems. The cost will be passed on to the consumers in the form of higher premiums, which will hit the lower and middle-class policyholders the hardest.
I call Obama's "accomplishments" a litany of failures.

We should have seen the signs.
We should have known when we got the 7am train from Budapest to Bratislava that things were not going to go well when Julie's chair broke underneath her, sending her, legs akimbo, across the train compartment.
Then our plane from Bratislava to Dubrovnik was delayed for about 40 minutes, which the pilot cheerfully informed us mid-flight was because the plane had sailed through a flock of Norwegian geese on the last trip, and it caused more damage to the plane than they had expected
We arrived in sunny Dubrovnik, and armed with our hostel booking, we were preparing to be picked up from the bus station by the hostel rep. Turns out there is no hostel, and we were taken to some dude's house where we were put up in a private room.
We should have known when he said his name was Homer Simpson.
This bogan's house was about as far from any sort of attraction you can imagine - we were seriously one block from the wilderness on the outskirts of the city. It took us about an hour to walk to the Old Town, where we arrived parched, and upon ordering a soft drink without looking at the menu, we were charged $7 for the pleasure.
When we decided to walk home that evening, it turns out Homer Simpson's wife has marked the wrong street on the map _ and I genially say to that, HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU BOGAN!!! We walked around for an hour looking for their shitty little house to spend a fitful night, while their entire extended family came around and held a World Cup party in the room right above ours.


text: I'm my sixties, retired last summer, and have done low carb for several years, then primal since December. I'm very bad with the journal I started here, but keep a private one which is more important to me. I feel better than ever, but noticed that any non-primal carbs seem to cause me more problems now like heart palpitations, etc; I rarely have regular carbs now which may mean my body feels a kind of shock when I do. I've lost about 36# since last summer, but kept stalling because I was eating too much protein and fat. I have to cut my calories, no matter how primal, until my body lets go of the stored fat. Despite an active life, I have a slow metabolism, and have had to get very low calorie along with very low carb.Most people on primal don't have to work this hard, but I do. I am working on losing the last 30# of the weight I put on going through the perimenopause years, and getting there little by little. (Paleobird had a great thread the last few days on this issue of calorie counting.) I know my spouse and I will continue on this primal path, for besides weight, it seems to help with lots of other issues related to aging; e.g., my husband's skin began to look much better after we started using coconut oil and milk. I'm regularly told I don't look my years, and I certainly don't seem to be as "old" as many of my friends of the same age. I row crew, walk several miles a week, do weight training, and balance exercises. This is the only blog/forum I've ever gotten interested in, though I'm clearly one of the elders here. I find this generally a sharp group of people (a few notable exceptions), and there is a steady stream of information of all kinds, and lots of great recipes. Search just about any topic and you will find lots of responses. Hope to see you around.

Winery website: http://www.silveroak.com
Silver Oak winery has been not only the envy of California Cab lovers for decades but also a great example of how to build and preserve a solid brand-identity in such a competitive market segment like wine. This 2007 Napa Cab has gone through 25 months of barrel aging and another two years of in-bottle aging – I was excited to give this one a whirl for sure.
Technical Data:
- Composition: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
- Alcohol: 13.9%
- Harvest dates: Sep. 5 – Oct. 10
- Cooperage: 100% American Oak for 26 months and another 24 months in-bottle.
- Release date: Feb. 4, 2012
- Price: $100
Nose: At this "young age" of only 5 years, the oak is still very thick right off the bat – Silver Oak makes this wine so it'll go 10-20 years of down-time. There are some nice notes of raspberry, cherry, cola, coffee, chocolate black peppercorns, tobacco and tar bubble.
Taste: Clearly, a new-world style cab that makes no apologies for its heavy use of 100% new American oak – it's "oaky" all the way and I know tons of people who'd love it. All the characters of a new-world cab is here with its roundness of mouthfeel, vanilla, and finish. It is a definite steak-house wine and one that demands to be pounded with reckless abandon with a thick piece of meat. I'd love to try it again in another 5 or 10 years to see how it's coming along – for now, however, it's going to impress the folks who love this style of cab.

Leave it alone
Hitchcock Parkway should be left alone. Traffic has decreased according to some studies. The taxpayers need to have an honest and correct answer about the number of vehicles. The speed limit on the Aiken-Augusta Parkway is 45 miles an hour most of the way.
Drug problems
There is a crack house on East Pine Street in New Ellenton.
It looks like there is a drug problem in New Ellenton, and it looks like people know where the drug dealers are. What is going to be done about it?
Big crooks
Why is it whenever anyone has done something wrong, he or she have to go before Congress? Congress is the biggest crook in the world and no one does anything to them.
Gas terminals
Several gas terminals are located in Greenville, so there is less of a cost. There is a cost to bring the gas to Aiken.
You can leave the shoeboxes at several places around Aiken. Millbrook Baptist Church and the YMCA come to mind.
Meet the mayor
The Burnettown mayor is at the town meetings. You should go, you could meet the mayor.
Career ended
The Aiken voters should end the career of Joe Wilson. We need someone who represents the people.
To the dump
I live in the county, and the County does come out and pick up the litter, but within a few days, it looks just as bad as before. Everyone should take their trash to the dump.
Need to pass
The Parkway should be widened. There was a policeman in my lane who needed to pass and the person in my lane couldn't get over. It's a bad situation when you don't have time to react. A four-lane would have kept that from happening.
Six bucks
The last time Social Security increased, Medicare also increased, and I ended up with $6.
Sick of pink
I'd like to apologize for the person who was sick of pink.
Mix the peaches
Graham has become ineffective and is doing the country a disservice. Look forward to attending the swearing in of Nancy Mace, the first female graduate of the Citadel. Graham can sell peaches when we get Nancy in office. Tip for Mr. Graham ... learn to make change and mix the hard and soft peaches 50/50.

OJ's 'Acquittal Party' Planner: Worst Job Ever?
In the midst of all this political hoopla, important stories can often fall through the cracks. Important stories like the conviction of longtime murderer-at-large (or persecuted superstar, if that floats your boat) OJ Simpson, who faces life in prison for a complicated plot involving guns, sports memorabilia, and massive quantities of chutzpah. Chutzpah like planning an acquittal party for the day the verdict is to be read.
But as much as getting convicted on the thirteenth anniversary of his prior acquittal must have stung Mr. Simpson, it's important to remember one thing: his life wasn't the only one affected that fateful day.

PennyMac Looks Iffy Despite Upgrades
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- PennyMac Financial Services
PennyMac shares hit a multi-week high of $18.69 on March 24 but fell sharply in subsequent days after the company announced that Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund would sell 6.1 million shares, equal to 8% of the total outstanding. Fidelity acquired the shares at the time of PennyMac's initial public offering, according to a report from Jefferies analyst Daniel Furtado Tuesday.
Furtado upgraded PennyMac to "buy" from "hold" in his write-up, arguing the company will be a "long-term beneficiary [from] US residential mortgage reform." His upgrade follows one from Wells Fargo analyst Joel Houck Friday.
PennyMac shares, which hit a recent low of $15.80 March 27 were up 3.45% to $17.21 Tuesday morning.
But the potential for further dilution is still very real. Even after the sale by Fidelity, Furtado's report notes that "only about 25% of authorized shares currently float with three large investors holding concentrated positions."
On the other hand, Furtado's argument for recommending PennyMac seems a bit thin. His report states that PennyMac will be a beneficiary as "the mortgage market evolves away from heavy government intervention."
But that transition will inevitably take longer than everyone thinks. Government moves at a snail's pace even when the appetite for reform is great. But when it comes to mortgage reform, no politician is eager to risk stalling or potentially crashing the fragile recovery by removing government support.
Furtado further argues PennyMac has an advantage over other non-bank servicers such as Ocwen Financial Corp.
While this may be true to an extent, it isn't a compelling reason to dive into PennyMac shares. Ocwen is adept at enlisting support from consumer advocates , which will likely help soften the ire of regulators, and Nationstar has undoubtedly studied Ocwen's moves pretty closely. At the same time, PennyMac Chairman and CEO Stanford Kurland always has the potential to become a lightning rod for industry critics since the former Countrywide Financial President is now profiting handsomely from a mess he in some respects helped create. Further, PennyMac is a shadow bank, and while shadow banks benefit from lighter regulation as a result of not being banks, it seems hardly a month goes by without some regulator warning about the risks from shadow banks. Also, Ocwen and Nationstar originate their own mortgages too, and plans by those companies to do more of their own mortgage origination will create competition for PennyMac.

Dental Program students help provide day of free dental care to seniors
December 14, 2012 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Students, faculty and staff in Grand Rapids Community College's Dental Programs teamed up with area agencies to provide a free day of preventative dental care for senior citizens on December 14.
Seniors received preventative dental care – X-rays, cleanings and an exam – in GRCC's dental clinic, located in room 301 Cook Academic Hall, 143 Bostwick NE. About 70 students in the Dental Program greeted and admitted patients, and worked with dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants on the x-rays, cleanings and exams.
"This project provides much needed dental care to those in need within our community, while allowing our Dental Program students valuable hands-on experience working with senior s and dental professionals," said Eve Sidney, director of GRCC's Dental Auxiliary Programs.
The Area Agency on Aging for Western Michigan identified 45 low-income seniors who need dental work but have no regular access to it. Dentists screened them to make sure that preexisting medical conditions were taken into consideration before the patients underwent dental work. Throughout the day, dentists identified seniors who need further dental care, which will be provided at a later date by Cherry Street Health Services.
A total of 101 volunteers were involved, including six area dentists, 15 hygienists and six dental assistants. GRCC partnered with Senior Neighbors, Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan Care Management, United Methodist Community House, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and Native American Family Services to hold this event.
GRCC's Dental Program also runs a clinic that regularly provides preventative services such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, X-rays and sealants to the public for a nominal fee. For more information on the clinic, visit www.grcc.edu/dentalclinic or call 616-234-4237 to schedule an appointment.
Grand Rapids Community College, established in 1914, offers opportunities for over 30,000 students annually in degree courses, certification and training programs, workshops and personal enrichment classes. GRCC holds classes on the downtown Grand Rapids campus as well as several additional locations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties.

Lori Nichol: Michelle Kwan, Sale/Pelletier, Fumie Suguri it became dry after that
Its the skaters and how they deliver the program that makes the program that something special.
It's almost criminal that this poll doesn't have Camerlengo.
Lori is absolutely amazing! All her choreographed performances are so captivating
What made David Wilson so outstanding?
Ha! Daisquale is even not on the list. Lol.
I voted other for Tamara Moskvina. Although mainly thought of as a pair coach, I always wondered what kind of magic she could work with a talented singles skater or dance team. Tamara is special!
A nod also to Sandra Bezic.
IMO: talanted skaters should work with different choreographers to further develope their artistic abilities. Sasha and Michelle come to mind.
