"Who does not see that knowledge precedes faith? Nobody believes unless he knows what to believe."
~ Augustine of Hippo, convert, bishop, theologian, Father and Doctor of the Church, Saint; noting that the assent of faith is a rational act; before it can be made, it must be known for certain that there is a God, that He has spoken, and that what He has spoken is known.

Members of the public recently criticized County Judge Barbara Shaw for her decision to move public comments to the end of the meeting agendas without first consulting with the rest of the court.
The item was placed on the agenda by County Commissioner Shelby Dupnik, but before Dupnik addressed the court, Bernice Stimson expressed her own public comments on the topic.
"I would like to applaud Commissioner Dupnik for placing this matter – the citizens to be heard – on the agenda," Stimson said. "All of the commissioners should follow his example."
Stimson expressed support for moving public comments back to the front end of the meetings, instead of at the end. She said the recent decision to change this had infringed upon the public's First Amendment right to free speech.
"The presiding officer has arbitrarily, without the vote of the commissioners, moved the citizens' comments from the beginning to the end," Stimson said. "It appears to be an attempt to prohibit citizens from participating in the discussion."
Stimson presented the results from a survey of neighboring counties that found that five of the six neighboring counties routinely place public comments at the beginning of the meeting. Six of the six allow for five minutes of speaking, instead of the current limit of three minutes enforced at Karnes County Commissioners Court meetings.
"I urge all of the members of Commissioners Court to support moving Citizens to be Heard from the last item on the agenda back to its original position on the agenda after the pledge of allegiance," Stimson said.
County Clerk Carol Swize interrupted Stimson to let her know her three minutes of speaking time had expired.
Commissioner James Rosales made a motion to extend Stimson's speaking time, and Stimson continued with no objection voiced by any member of the court.
Stimson urged the court to also extend the speaking time for members of the public from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.
"You have moved us to the end of the agenda in the hopes that we will tire and leave before being heard," Stimson said.
Commissioner Dupnik said several people had contacted him regarding the decision to move public comments to the end of the meeting agendas.
"Mrs. Hall, last week, made a very eloquent and very strong and profound statement about this – about where the comments on the agenda were," Dupnik said. "It has always been at the forefront."
"Some people want to come just to speak and leave and they are having to wait through the whole meeting and that is not, to me, respectful to any citizen or taxpayer," Dupnik said.
Public comments, however, should never be allowed as a forum for people to attack one another, Dupnik emphasized.
County Judge Barbara Shaw said she made the change to help move county business forward more quickly.
"The heart of Commissioners Court is county business," Shaw said. "So much stuff that comes in here has nothing to do with county business."
"Freedom of speech is anywhere," Shaw said. "You can picket outside the rooms. You can do anything. You can picket anywhere or do anything like that. In here we are supposed to take care of county business."
Commissioner Tracey Schendel expressed support for moving public comments back to the front of the meetings.
"I think it ought to be at the front of the meeting," Schendel said. "Get it over with, and then we can go on."
Commissioner James Rosales then made a motion to move public comments back to the beginning of meetings.
"We have a lot of things to do," Commissioner Pete Jauer said. "What do y'all want? We can't accommodate everybody and make everybody happy."
Shaw expressed concerns related to keeping order in the meetings.
"But then do we just violate all the open meetings acts and just say, 'Okay, everybody just talk together – how do y'all want this done?" Shaw asked.
Dupnik read from the courts own rules of decorum, reminding the court that there are provisions within their own rules that allow the presiding officer to keep order during in the meetings.
"This has been moved to the back and it has created controversy," Dupnik said. "I am tired of so much controversy in the county. We have got bigger fish to fry than worry about putting somebody to the back."
Commissioner James Rosales also expressed support for moving public comments back near the top of the meeting agendas, and he said it would take the same amount of time, regardless of where it was placed.
Rosales said it should be the option of anyone who makes a public comment to choose whether to speak at the beginning of the meeting, or to speak later when the agenda item they wish to address comes up.
Commissioner Schendel seconded the motion made by Rosales.
Shaw called for all in favor to say "aye." The motion apparently carried, although it was unclear which members of the court voted in favor. County Clerk Carol Swize said that when she reviewed the recording, Judge Shaw asked who was in favor, but did not ask who was opposed. Also, Shaw did not say whether or not the motion carried. However, since no one spoke up to oppose, Swize said that she recorded the action of the court as carrying on a 5-0 vote.

What Makes Special Education Special?
The current promising future of children with disabilities and their families stands in sharp contrast to conditions before IDEA.
Special education features instruction and interventions designed to meet the individual needs of each child with a disability. Through special education, the United States has developed instructional curricula and programs for teaching core competencies to children with disabilities. Key examples are early reading (e.g., progress monitoring), behavior (e.g., multitiered, schoolwide interventions), assessment (e.g., accommodations, including students with disabilities in accountability systems), early childhood education (e.g., Individualized Family Service Plans), and universally designed instruction (e.g., captioning). Additionally, special education has developed a variety of rigorous evaluation methods (e.g., single-subject designs and qualitative ethnographic techniques) that can be used to carefully examine the impact of instruction on individual children with disabilities as well as all students in the school. Finally, IDEA has invested in a research to practice model that has helped the country support improvements in special and general education. This infrastructure, in turn, has contributed to improved results for children with disabilities and their families over the last quarter of the 20th century and through the first decade of the 21st century.

Wild, windy weather caused plenty of problems on Presidents' Day. Those gusty trades kept emergency and electric crews busy over the holiday, because as the winds picked up a number of things came down.
"It gets windy but not this windy. It's really bad this time," said Aiea resident Gary Yamamoto.
The whipping winds attacked Aiea Monday afternoon, and stripped the shingles off one home. Residents were shocked at just how strong the winds have been.
"It's like a small tornado when it has been occurring. I've never seen anything like this in the 27 years we've been here," said Aiea Resident Bob Young.
Those gusts proved to be no match for the shake roof of Young's neighbor. Emergency crews had to be called in to help homeowners weather the blustery conditions.
"We clear the area of debris and put on felt paper to keep water out and keep the house stable, so they can make some more permanent repairs later," said Capt. Howard Naone, with the Honolulu Fire Department.
After roof tiles were sent flying in the winds, worried neighbors came over to the damaged home to see what happened.
"I had things, my chairs all over the yard, and I noticed the shakes and tar paper in my yard and I was concerned," said Yamamoto.
Homes were not the only objects to bear the brunt of the gusty trades, power poles were knocked loose by the powerful blasts of air.
In Waikiki, one had to be propped up by residents to keep it from falling down.
Another, in Kuakini, wavered in the winds until crews came to anchor it in place to protect the power lines.
Parts of a large tree were also ripped off, and broken branches blocked two lanes of traffic along Vineyard Boulevard.
Traffic was also stopped along Kalihi Street, after a power pole came crashing down onto several cars in a parking lot below.
A nearby transformer was also destroyed when the pole came down.
"I was walking up the street and saw the pole falling and the transformer exploding. It was lucky nobody got hurt," said Kalihi resident Bryson Koko`o.
The wind damage did leave many homes in Kalihi Valley in the dark. Hundreds of residents not have electricity because the downed line cut the power connections with other lines in the neighborhood.

d'Omah Hotel Yogyakarta is located in the village of Tembi in rural Java – but only twenty minutes from the centre of the bustling artistic city of Yogyakarta governed by Sultan Hamengku Bowono 10th. A respite at d'Omah offers the unique experience of savoring life in a Javanese village untouched by the ravages of time, of enjoying breakfast on the edge of rice fields ever changing according to the season, to walk the cobbled streets with the friendly charming people of the village and also importantly to have a base with all modern conveniences from which to explore the important attractions of the area Borobudur, Prambanan, the Sultans Palace and others.
d'Omah also now offers the facilities of a retreat, spa and fitness centre within the compound as well as the opportunity to practice yoga, follow detox programmes and learn and enjoy the most simple and comprehensive health programmes directed by local and international experts.
Tembi was just a typical Javanese village until Indonesia's handicraft guru Warwick Purser decided to move there and establish the design, production and export facilities of his company Out of Asia. The purpose was to explore how a rural community and a commercial enterprise could work hand in hand to each group's benefit. Profiled in TIME Magazine and many other international and national media, Tembi is now one of Indonesia's major bases for handicraft production.
Tembi has also become a centre of art, with young overseas artists taking up temporary residence and working together with their local contemporaries. The Tembi Contemporary Gallery, five minutes walk from d'Omah is already well known for its efforts to promote the work of young Yogyakarta artists.
Despite these new influences Tembi remains a traditional Javanese village with the early morning prayer call from the mosque, the sound of ducks and geese playing in the water and farmers harvesting the rice. That is the music of Tembi.

Telaprevir is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection. Telaprevir is always used in combination with the medicines peginterferon and ribavirin. HCV is an opportunistic infection. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the HIV-related use of telaprevir to treat chronic HCV infection (genotype 1).
Before taking telaprevir, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from telaprevir. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
Take telaprevir according to your health care provider's instructions. Your health care provider will tell you how much telaprevir to take and when to take it. Before you start telaprevir and each time you get a refill, read any printed information that comes with your medicine.
More information about telaprevir is available:

AAFP CME Program Succumbs to "Integrative Medicine"
For many years I have been using Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs offered by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). The FP Essentials program consists of a monthly monograph with a post-test that can be submitted electronically for 5 hours of CME credit. Over a 9-year cycle, a complete family medicine curriculum is covered to prepare participants for the re-certification board exams. Some examples of typical subjects are skin cancer, hand and wrist injuries, valvular heart disease, and care of the newborn. I rely on these programs to learn, review, and keep up-to-date in my specialty. Imagine my dismay when I opened the latest package to find a monograph on Integrative Medicine.
First it was called various names like folk medicine, quackery, and unproven/untested treatments, then all of those (the less rational right along with the more rational) were lumped together under the umbrella term "Alternative Medicine," then it became "Complementary and Alternative Medicine" (CAM), and now it has been re-branded as "Integrative Medicine." The term is designed to make unscientific treatments seem more acceptable to science-based doctors. "Integrative Medicine" is a marketing term, not a meaningful scientific category. It is a euphemism for combining Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) with mainstream medical practice, unproven with proven, magic with science. It has been critiqued many times on this blog. We have stressed that there is only one medicine, and that when a treatment is proven to work by good evidence, it is just "medicine." When the evidence for a CAM treatment is not good, it essentially amounts to experimental treatments and/or comfort measures. Worse, sometimes CAM even persists in using treatments that have been proven not to work or that are totally implausible, like therapeutic touch or homeopathy. (more…)

Valentino Rossi returns to Yamaha on a 2 year deal. Pretty much guarantees that Cal will be wrestling with the Ducati next season.
Well, I was wrong about Cal. He's staying at Tech3 Yamaha, and will be joined by fellow Brit Bradley Smith. Dovi's off to ride the career-killer instead.
Carnage yesterday at Misano, riders falling off left, right and centre, including Dani Pedrosa, which was a shame (and not his fault).

My 23rd Birthday and a Win Over the Phillies
"Nobody likes you when you're 23."–The great words of Blink-182 in their song "What's My Age, Again?"
Yesterday was my 23rd birthday and I could not have picked a better way to spend it: with my dad at the Yankees-Phillies game. It's almost as if I received two presents in one; I was privileged to go to the first game of the 2009 World Series rematch and the Yankees won 8-3.
It doesn't get any better than that.
A few weeks before my College Graduation, I told my dad that the Yankees were playing the Phillies on my birthday. I expressed interest in going to the game, but because the game was such a hot ticket (it being a World Series rematch and all) I wasn't sure if my dad could get the tickets.
In the end he was able to get them and I couldn't have been happier.
Our seats were in the Terrace section on the first base side–in the front row. At first this frightened me, because I am deathly afraid of heights. The Terrace section, although not the highest part of Yankee Stadium, is pretty steep. When we walked into the Great Hall, I'll admit I was a little apprehensive of going all the way up.
But once my dad and I reached our seats and the starting lineups were announced, I felt a little better. All of a sudden my feelings seemed content and the heights did not bother me at all. It was time for me to have some fun and be liberated of my acrophobia; after all, it was my birthday!
Not long after first pitch, a few people came in to sit in our row. As fate would have it, a young man (about my age) wearing a Phillies hat sat next to me. Thinking out loud, I said "Oh no! I'm sitting next to a Phillies fan?"
Everyone in our section heard me and laughed.
The kid looked at me, smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not one of those obnoxious fans!" I could tell he was a good guy so I laughed, shook his hand, and said, "OK."
I wound up talking a lot of baseball with him for the rest of the night. My birthday actually came up in one of our conversations and he even wished me a happy birthday.
To start the game, Roy Halladay shut down the Yanks 1-2-3. "Was he going to toss another perfect game tonight?" I wondered. Not on my watch!
In the bottom of the second, Brett Gardner tripled to score Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada, giving the Yankees a quick 2-0 lead. Not long after that I received a text message from my friend Dave that read, "Why is it that Brett Gardner triples every time you go to a game?"
Of course he was joking. But I was at the game last May when he tripled and hit the inside-the-park home run–that's why he kidded with me about it.
In the third inning, Curtis Granderson stepped up to the plate. A lot of fans in our section were hoping for something to happen. I jokingly shouted, "Come on Curtis! Halladay is not a lefty, you can hit him!"
And hit him he did.
Granderson proceeded to belt a long home run to right field, a solo blast to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead. It was Granderson's fifth home run of the year.
After Granderson's solo job, it got better.
Later in the frame, Nick Swisher stepped up to the plate and smacked a two-run home run, his 11th round-tripper of the year. The Yankees were now leading 5-0 and the Phillies fan I was sitting next to suddenly became very silent. I think he had a feeling at this point that his team was not winning the game.
He may have piped down for awhile but in the fourth inning got loud again. The Phillies rattled Yankees' starter CC Sabathia for three runs. Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez both cracked RBI singles, and Ben Francisco grounded into a fielder's choice (thanks to a "mental lapse" by Sabathia) to score Ryan Howard.
Sabathia did not cover the bag at first on what should have been a double play. The man behind me had been drinking and yelled, "Hey CC! Pretend there's a cheeseburger at first base and cover the bag!"
It was said out of inebriation, but it was still funny. The drunken fan provided me with more entertainment than the actual game…I think.
The next inning Mark Teixeira stepped up to the plate against Halladay. He pulled a fly ball that seemed to keep on tailing toward the right field foul pole. At first I thought it was a foul ball. But the crowd erupted and I looked over to my left and saw Teixeira rounding the bases; that's when I knew it was a goner.
A solo home run to give the Yanks a 6-3 lead. The ball literally just cleared the 314 sign in right field–not the most glorious home run, yet I was happy he left the park. It was Teixeira's 10th home run of the season.
The game moved on to the seventh inning and the Yankees tacked on two more runs. Francisco Cervelli singled to score Teixeira and Jorge Posada, giving the Yanks an 8-3 edge. A few sections to my right I noticed a girl (again, probably my age) holding a sign that read, "Francisco Cer-SEXY."
I immediately thought of Virginia over on Live, Eat, and Breath Yankees. She always posts about Cervelli and how she likes him. I suppose there are many young ladies out there who think the Yankee backstop is a heartthrob!
The Yanks scored those two runs off reliever Antonio Bastardo. I don't want to get into too many details about what the drunken man behind me had to say, but I'll just say he had a lot to say about Bastardo's last name.
Again, the fans probably entertained me just as much as the game.
Right after the eighth inning, the Phillies fan who I chatted with for the better part of the night was heading out. He once again shook my hand and wished me a happy birthday. He knew the game was just about over and the Yankees were going to win.
No hard feelings, though.
Chan Ho Park finished off the game against his former team and shut them down in the ninth. Park tossed a perfect ninth inning to end the ballgame and notch the win. The Yankees took down the almighty Halladay and beat the Phillies in the first game of their regular season World Series rematch.
It was a fantastic way to end my 23rd birthday yesterday.
As my dad and I were leaving Yankee Stadium for the train back to Westchester, I noticed an enormous amount of Phillies fans shuffling out; it looked like a sea of red hats with the letter "P" mixed in with white and navy blue pinstripes. A few Phillies fans were hearing it from the Yankee fans; in fact, a pair of Phillies fans were heckled by a couple of Yankee Stadium vendors.
"The Phillies got smoked tonight!" the vendor exclaimed.
"Yeah, well the Phils will be back tomorrow," one of them responded.
"That's right they'll be back tomorrow–to lose to the Yankees again!"
Realizing they weren't winning the argument, the two Phillies fans walked away.
When I got on the train, I sat across from a couple who was coming in from Manhattan; he and his girlfriend had gone to see Hair on Broadway. The gentleman was asking me how the game went and I gave him the full game report. He was pretty happy the Yankees won and I had a nice conversation with him about sports for the majority of the ride home.
When I got home plopped down on my bed and smiled. "I'm glad they won for me today," I said to myself in exhaustion. "This was a great birthday."
Dating back to last year, the Yankees are 6-0 in games I have attended at the new Stadium. Hope they keep up the trend, because on Sunday I am going again. My sister got me tickets to see the final game of the Subway Series.
I can only hope they keep up the winning while I am in attendance!

Wow! Great pictures and great play by play of the game yesterday. Happy Birthday and many more. My oldest son's initials are AJ as well. He's also 23 years old l. Isn't it great when you meet someone new and you have a great conversation with them? I love those opportunities! Well, now you've met another avid Phillie fan that is nice, respectful and can control themself– me .🙂 Drop by and visit my blog again. I'll visit yours.
A.J.: Great post, and awesome pics! I'm glad they won it for ya😉 Yes, Cervelli is sexy…but it sort of annoys me when other girls say that. I mean, I was the FIRST one to fall in love with him. Ever since that fateful spring training day when his wrist was broken…and then he made it to the bigs…then I remembered he played for team Italy, and how we are both Italian…then I had this DREAM once….I wish I didn't wake up that night…♥…maybe I'll tell you about that later, but I don't want anyone else to see…
Wow. What a great birthday gift! So glad you got to see a win – and such an impressive one at that. Happy Belated Birthday!!!

June 10, 2013 —
The stand-out scene in the anti-fracking documentary "Gasland" where a homeowner's water is set afire is sensational but misleading, said Phelim McAleer, director of the pro-fracking documentary "FrackNation," which was screened Saturday at Sidetracks Bar & Lounge.
"It was very dramatic but untrue; it's not journalism, it's showbiz," the Northern Ireland native said during a question-and-answer session after the screening, which was attended by about three dozen people and took place simultaneously to a "Gasland Part II" screening next door at Callicoon Theatre.
McAleer claims the director of the "Gasland" movies, Josh Fox, is more interested in drumming up fear than seeking the facts. The water-on-fire scene is misleading because, McAleer said, it was caused by naturally occurring methane in the area's water, not by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
"It's very emotional, but it's not rationale," McAleer said. For decades people have been able to light water on fire, he said, noting that George Washington set fire to a river in New Jersey.
"FrackNation" tracks McAleer, an independent journalist, as he travels the U.S. and Europe, questioning "green extremists" in an effort to find the truth and to uncover the science he says is being suppressed by environmental activists who want fracking banned.
"Our goal … was to make an honest film that tells the truth about fracking. We wanted to put it in full context: economic, personal, scientific, political, historical. The truth needs to be out there," McAleer told his audience, most of whom were impressed with the film.
Alan Scott of Long Eddy said the documentary shed fresh light on the subject. "It was very interesting and it gave you the other side of what's going on." Scott bought a CD of "FrackNation" and plans to pass it among his friends and acquaintances.
John Sutliff of Abrahamsville in Wayne County also had a positive reaction, saying the film did a good job of exposing the misleading aspects of "Gasland."
"I'm pro gas," Sutliff said, noting that years ago he had relatives in Oklahoma, where natural gas drilling was occurring, and they had no pollution to their water.
The issue is particularly relevant in New York and northeastern Pennsylvania since the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has put a moratorium on natural gas drilling within the basin. At one point in "FrackNation," McAleer confronts Carol Collier, executive director of the DRBC about her on-screen credit in "Gasland." She claimed her name was used without her permission and subsequently terminated the interview, then tried to confiscate the footage.
Drilling is allowed in Susquehanna, PA, where the tiny town of Dimock – population about 1,500 – has been "ground zero" for the fracking movement. Eleven residents of the town have filed a lawsuit claiming that fracking has contaminated their water. In "FrackNation," McAleer talks to numerous residents who say fracking is not the source of the pollution and that such allegations have been overblown.
"Eleven people filed the lawsuit – 1% of the population," McAleer said. "Dimock is not a 'gasland,' it is beautiful."
McAleer said the moratorium is a detriment to farmers. If drilling is allowed, it would be a financial windfall for the farmers who are now struggling to pay their bills. Fracking can make America one of the world's leading energy producers, if not for the extremist environmentalists with influential backing, he said.
"It seems that Hollywood is with Josh Fox, and the farmers are with us," McAleer said, noting that though Fox currently lives in Milanville, PA in Wayne County, he was born in New York City.
Daniel Fitzsimmons, president of the Binghamton-based Joint Landowners Coalition of New York, said there is no legitimate reason why drilling should be held up. He said gas drilling can be a safe enterprise if best management practices are followed.
"We need to let them know we want drilling in New York," Fitzsimmons said. "Drilling can be safe and beneficial. Talk to your neighbors, talk to your friends – let's get the word out."
McAleer said the $212,000 he raised to fund the film came from Kickstarter.com, a website where "ordinary people" can pledge money for creative projects they feel are worthwhile.
No confrontations at the screenings
About 350 people turned out to the Callicoon Theater for the screening of Gasland Part II and about 35 turned out for the showing of FrackNation at the Sidetracks Bar and Lounge next door.
There were three police officers on hand. Some people may have been expecting, or hoping for, some sort of public confrontation between the two crowds, but that was not to be.
According to several people at the events, FrackNation director Phelim McAleer had a camera operator in tow and attempted to talk with several people connected to the other screening, but those people would not engage.
The directors of both films have used on-camera confrontations to tell their stories, but these screenings will not likely be used in any upcoming film about hydraulic fracturing.

Stocks to Watch: Wal-Mart, HP, Tesla
NEW YORK -- Wal-Mart Stores(WMT) , the world's biggest retailer, is expected by analysts Thursday to post fourth-quarter earnings of $1.57 a share on revenue of $128.85 billion.
Analysts expect Wal-Mart's namesake U.S. business to post a same-store sales increase of 1.4% in the quarter.
Last year, Wal-Mart earned $1.45 a share on net sales of $122.47 billion.
Federal Reserve, Wal-Mart Fear the Same Thing
Personal computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) is forecast to have earned 71 cents a share in its fiscal first quarter on revenue of $27.79 billion.
HP is expected to issue its earnings report after the stock market closes Thursday.
HP earned $1.5 billion, or 73 cents a share, on revenue of $30.4 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Excluding accounting charges, earnings were 92 cents a share last year.
Tesla Motors'(TSLA) fourth-quarter earnings were mixed, with revenue beating Wall Street estimates but losses coming in wider than expected.
Tesla reported a fourth-quarter non-GAAP loss of 65 cents a share on revenue of $306 million. Analysts were looking for a loss of 53 cents a share on revenue of $298.2 million.
"During the quarter, we delivered approximately 2,400 Model S vehicles. We delivered the remaining North American Signature Series cars and shipped exclusively cars with the 85 kWh battery pack. We also saw strong demand for options such as the Performance version and Tech Package. Finally, we sold most of our remaining Roadsters during the quarter," CEO Elon Musk wrote in a letter to shareholders.
In the first quarter, Tesla said it expects to be "slightly positive net income, on a non-GAAP basis. We also expect to be near breakeven on cash flow from operations."
Tesla Shares Slip on Wider-Than-Expected Loss
Boeing(BA) is expected to launch on Friday a formal plan to get its grounded Dreamliner back into service, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the details.
Senior Boeing executives are scheduled to meet with Federal Aviation Administration officials in Washington to discuss the proposed 10-point package, emphasizing changes to the plane's lithium-ion batteries, the people told the newspaper.
Chesapeake Energy(CHK) , the second-largest U.S. producer of natural gas, is expected by analysts Thursday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 14 cents a share, down from year-earlier profit of 58 cents a share.
Wall Street expects Safeway(SWY) , the grocery store chain, to report fourth-quarter earnings of 76 cents a share on revenue of $13.7 billion.

I'm a SAHM and breastfeed my baby. Since I'm always with her I didn't purchase a pump or any bottles and have never needed either of them. See how things go after you have the baby. Hope that helps
I'm a SAHM and breastfeed my baby. Since I'm always with her I didn't purchase a pump or any bottles and have never needed either of them. See how things go after you have the baby. Hope that helps
I agree with the suggestion of asking at the hospital. Although health insurance is all different, my insurance also covered a medela hand pump. They didn't offer it to me, but when I asked they provided it.
I think you might want to have some EBM to have an opportunity for an occasional time away. Even running to the store or going to dinner, etc. I work outside the home, so I pump a lot, but even when I was on maternity leave, I needed an occasional couple hour break. My 2nd LO ate 12-15x a day, which made even running to the grocery store difficult. Once we introduced a bottle it helped. I no longer got the call to come home ASAP when I'd only left the house 20 minutes earlier. Good luck.
That makes a lot of sense --- and yes, if i run out of the house to the grocery store and my husband is calling me frantically...well, that sounds a little crazy for me.
I have heard good things about the medela hand pump and the avent (spelling?) isis.....any thoughts on either? Both of them are affordable -- between $30-$40 -- so since price isn't an issue, any preferences?
Finally - any recommendations on bottles? I have heard that dr. brown's bottles are good...any one have good experiences w/ this or another brand? Thanks again ladies!!
some moms find that hand expression works well for a few bottles every once in a while. no need for special equipment.
Since I pump frequently, I use the Medela PIS Advanced. I'm not familiar with the hand pumps. For all 3 of our LO's, we used the Gerber drop in bottles with the silicone natural flow nipples. The main reason was the drop in liners so we didn't have to sterilize bottles all the time. They've worked great for us.

What is in this article?:
- Deadline approaches as new farm bill lingers
- Senate bill
- Sticking points
- Thirty-nine days remain until the current farm bill expires.
- While it may be a while before a farm bill is earnestly tackled by the full Congress, a new FAPRI study compares the programs already proposed by both the Senate and House.
The clock is ticking. Thirty-nine days remain until the current farm bill expires.
Despite this – and the fact that merciless drought continues across much of the nation – there seems to be few concrete answers about what Congress will do to address the situation when lawmakers return from August recess.
The Senate, said North Dakota Sen. Kent Conrad this week, "carefully negotiated a new five year bill that enjoyed broad bipartisan support. We are prepared to negotiate a compromise with the House, but before we are able to do that, they need to reverse course and make the bill a priority."
Full farm bill coverage here.
With a national election season in full swing there is little chance for House farm bill action to occur soon.
"There's no indication that the House will be able to pass a standalone farm bill anytime soon," says Pat Westhoff, director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI). "At least it won't pass one before November, it appears."
While it may be a while before a farm bill is earnestly tackled by the full Congress, a new FAPRI study (see study here) compares the programs already proposed by both the Senate and House.
Westhoff was interviewed by Farm Press on August 21. Among his comments:
On the FAPRI study…
"We looked at the bills passed by the full Senate and the House Agriculture Committee. The bills do have a lot in common. Obviously, both include the elimination of direct payments and the creation of new programs intended to provide help to farmers and lenders when some bad thing happens, whether they face low prices or low revenue.
"The basic notion behind the two bills is pretty similar with similar levels of spending expected by the taxpayers. We shouldn't be too surprised that our results show that the overall impacts on average levels of farm income are also pretty similar.
"There are some important differences, though."
On the House Agriculture Committee farm bill…
"The House bill puts more of its emphasis on the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. In some ways that's like our current counter cyclical payment program.
"There are two major exceptions. One is that the target prices are higher than under current law. Second, just as importantly, payments are tied to how much you plant rather than historical base acreages. It's also important where those target prices are set. In our analysis it would result in significantly larger payments for some crops than for others."

International Politics and International Science: A Study of Scientists' Attitudes, 1967 (ICPSR 5519)
Principal Investigator(s): Teich, Albert H.
This study contains data from interviews with 384 scientists in the summer of 1967 on their attitudes, perceptions, opinions, and views on a range of scientific issues, as well as biographical and professional background information. Respondents were asked questions about working in an international laboratory, political issues on which the majority of scientists and engineers shared a common outlook, their nations' adoption of a unilateral nuclear disarmament position, the detente between the West and the European Communist countries, the proposed non-proliferation treaty, and the effects of international perspectives on issues and on their nations. Also elicited were respondents' views on a world government and the possible transformation of the United Nations (UN) into a world government, the possession of thermonuclear weapons by respondents' nations and by a future European military force, nuclear arms limitations, space exploration, and the chances for the United States or the Soviet Union to be the first to reach the moon. Demographic variables include respondents' place of birth, sex, nationality, marital status, occupation, education, international travels, languages spoken, and patterns of electoral participation in their nations.

One of the most common criticisms lobbed at Cracked columns is the generality of the subject matter and/or why I never publish nude photos. I refuse to answer the latter again. Suffice it to say, the surgery went poorly. But as to the former, if I write an article about the 10 worst hookers you'll hump in Branson, someone will explain in the comments how they've never had a bad hooker experience in Branson, or conversely, how the hookers they hump have way fewer legs and teeth and antibodies than the ones I mentioned, and why am I writing articles about my own life and pretending that it applies to everyone?
First, every Cracked article applies to everyone except you when you think it doesn't, meaning you're the weirdo, not us. It's entirely possible you were born in an egg. It happens to platypuses, what makes you think you're any better? Before you answer, remember, you're the weirdo. Second, some things we just mean in a general sense. Like not everyone hates Donald Trump, just good people who add value to society. But we say that everyone hates him because it's easier.
The article you are about to read does not include generalities. This is all literal. I mean that. Literally. This is a definitive list of the four things neither you nor any other human wants another person to see. And if you feel inspired to say some or all don't apply to you, take heed! You'll be outing yourself, platyperson.
4 Your Mattress
My mattress terrifies me. It is the most horrible thing on Earth. That sounds hyperbolic, and you might think, "Felix, has your mattress murdered innocents? Does it cause hunger and flooding? Did it write that horribly racist column you posted at the end of January?" No, of course not. It's a mattress.
My bare mattress looks like a Wild West crime scene, all sepia toned and dreadful. I've never murdered anyone on it, nor do I routinely douse it with herbal teas or the delicious sap of the tree we call maple. Now, I don't want to get into the myriad specifics of precisely what happened on my mattress -- I'm a gentleman, after all -- and what a man does with his own furnishings is his own business, but I will say that, as a swinging bachelor with almost a college education and a really keen haircut, I've entertained more than one lady friend in my day. Or at least entertained some thoughts whilst in a horizontal position, if you follow me.
I'm saying there's lovings on my mattress.
Drive around the block twice and I'll be done with your mattress when ya get back.
Now the thing is, my lonely perversions aside, I have helped about a dozen friends move in my day as well. Every time I did so, I had that awkward moment when it was time to clear out the bedroom and we came upon the mattress (so to speak) that still had the fitted sheet on it, of course, to hide the terrible shame that was immediately present on the opposite side once we took it out of the room, because every time you really badly mess up your mattress, you flip it over.
I suspect there are two kinds of people in the world who, right now, have very clean mattresses. There are ultra pervs who saw this coming, likely from a previous hellscape of a mattress, and now use a protective sheet to keep the mattress pristine, and the insane. Not all the insane, of course; some of them probably have very filthy mattresses, but others are like my aunt, who may not even sleep on her mattress for fear of it ever actually getting dirty. Did you know that she has three sets of silverware that are never used? And there's a chair in her living room that is encased in plastic, and even if it weren't, even if it were free, it's carved from such cruel, Edwardian-era wood and brass knobbly bits that if you were to ever dare sit on it you would immediately be stricken lame with scolipoliosis.
For the rest of us, through no real fault of our own, but rather the biological processes of being human and the poor choices made by mattress manufacturers when they choose the color and material for these things, our mattresses are abhorrent. They're like a large, floppy window into our dark souls. Gross.
3 Internet History
It's a given that no one wants anyone to see their search history, and har har, if I die, make sure it's deleted before my parents come over, and whatever else has been written on T-shirts about it. But when's the last time you stopped to appreciate just how dreadful your search history is? And maybe not even as a result of direct searches for porn. Everyone looks at porn on the Internet; if you judge someone for looking at porn online, it just means you're probably a bad person and maybe no one likes your genitals.
You ever read something and not really understand one part so you Google it and find out that what you were just reading has something to do with ritualistic torture in the 17th century? And you think "Oh, weird" and close the window and move on, and then two days later maybe you're looking at Reddit and you click a link and it opens a pic of a dude who had to have his wang surgically removed from a steel pipe and then you think, "This isn't pleasant at all, I shall away from this terrible place!" Yeah, bang, right there. Someone gets on your computer and you're the guy who looks up ritual torture and pipe fuckers, just like that. Suddenly you're not invited to the family reunion because no one thinks you should be near kids.
The Internet is constantly out to sabotage you, totally by accident. It's not alive, it has no intention or motivation, it's just organized in such a way that wherever you turn, you're going to run face first into something awful. It's a carnival fun house of depravity with stuff jumping out from every corner, and it's not your fault if you get hit by a bus and have to be laid up in the hospital with no way to stop your mom, who's trying to be helpful, from turning on your computer and seeing that your friends from school have emailed you at least 30 separate movie clips of lady boys peeing off of balconies. It's not you! But no one cares. Because that combined with the obviously disgusting state of your mattress indicates that you're a deviant of the highest order.

Spring forward
March 13, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The clocks moved forward, adding a man-made accent to the already lengthening days. This followed a snowy day that saw many schools close, hopefully for the last time this winter. Miraculously, it seemed the weather turned enticingly balmy, as bright sun and mild temperatures were an encouraging sign to the spring athletes champing at the bit for the long-awaited first official day of spring sports on March 11.
Aside from John S. Burke, Catholic's boys team's impending fourth consecutive trip to the Final Four in Glens Falls, all other Section IX basketball teams have now seen their hoop seasons finish; indoor track nationals are history as well. College basketball is still in the news with March Madness looming, while locally the Sullivan County Generals are hosting the NJCAA Finals from March 14-16. The Generals, who are the Region XV Champions, are hoping to bring home another national championship. We'll have coverage of that tourney next week, as well as the Sullivan West Winter Sports Awards slated for March 13. Tri-Valley will stage its winter awards just one week later.
But for now it's time to look ahead to the school year's most glorious season.
Following a couple of weeks of practice, held either in gyms or outside weather permitting, the first week in April will feature a docket of track meets, boys and girls golf matches, baseball and softball games and boys tennis matches. While early spring weather can be quite chilly and/or wet, it gives way to gorgeous sunny days and, eventually, to daunting heat by the time the sectional meets, matches, games and the ensuing post-season glory quests are front and center.
Spring brings the promise of renewal and hope to a beleaguered world at large, and sports is no exception to that universal longing. As teams meet for the first time this week, coaches will assess their new configuration of veterans and newbies, and begin drills and conditioning as a run up to the daunting schedule that looms ahead. Spring has its own set of rivalries, many of which will be elucidated in the weeks to come.

Beaver safari in the Malingsbo-Kloten Nature Reserve
Photo: © Peter Cairns
Moose safari - meet the Swedish National Symbol in the wild. Beaver safari - a real nature experience.
Imagine the splash of water when a massive 650 kg bull moose jumps into the small lake right in front of us. On foot, we hike in pathless terrain through one of the most heavily moose-populated wilderness areas on earth. We see many wild moose on each safari. It is promised that participants will see moose (the safari is moose guaranteed!).
Beaver safari - A spectacular show. A large splash breaks the silence and water rises spectacular towards the sky. A few seconds later, the water droplets descend back and melt into the surface of the lake once again. A beaver dove- flicking the water up with his long, flat tail. At sunset, while the sun goes down behind undulating forests, we paddle out on a beaver safari. Through the beaver-rich wilderness area, we move as silently as possible in Canadian canoes. The chances of seeing wild beavers in their natural habitat are very high. Many beavers were seen on all beaver safaris during the last few years.
The beaver and moose safaris are arranged in one of the most wildlife-dense areas of Sweden, the Malingsbo-Kloten Nature Reserve. The wildlife safaris includes: A 5-6 hour guided safari, a three-course dinner with many ingredients from the forest, a one-night in a double room, sheets, towels, breakfast with home-made bread and cereal. Over dinner we listen to an experienced and knowledgeable native Swedish wildlife guide, who informs us about the wild animals in the forest.

Forest fires rage out of control this time each year, as Arizona reminds us, because we manage our federal forests poorly. Scientists say we've created the "monster fire" era.
It has become so common the public is almost numb to it. A fire gets out of control, luxury homes burn, and when it's over the country is left with scorched earth that cannot recover for generations. New flooding danger emerges in areas that once had vegetation to consume moisture.
Our forests have become disasters waiting to happen and our forestry policy is one of disaster management.
It doesn't have to be this way.
The U.S. Forest Service goes about forest management with an every-tree-is-sacred mantra that has led to an unnatural obsession with fire suppression rather than tree and fuel maintenance.
Without human interference, fires are a natural part of forest survival. Lightning ignites fires, which burn dead limbs and tree needles that have fallen to the ground. The fires turn the fuel into nutrients that nourish the trees. When this process is suppressed, and trees are not thinned and fuel is not cleared from the ground, fuel accumulates for decades. Forests grow unnaturally thick, interfering with the hunting practices of some raptors and other wildlife. The abundance of fuel makes fires so hot that most trees burn from top to bottom. The intense heat of the fire destroys nutrients, greatly delaying a forest's rebirth.
"It has been over a decade since the last timber mills closed in Arizona's mountains, and in that time under the management of the United States Forest Service (USFS) over 1,700 square miles of the state's forests have burned," wrote Arizona state Rep. Brenda Barton, a Republican, in a recent press release.
Barton complains that people in Arizona's mountain communities have implored federal forest officials to adopt a more proactive approach to forest management: "One that allows for an aggressive program to clean and clear the forest floor. It's here in what is called the 'fire load' that otherwise healthy lightning strike fires become catastrophic and devastate hundreds of thousands of acres in a relatively short period of time."
She continued: "In contrast, Sweden, arguably one of the most progressive environmental nations in Europe has in the past six years turned away from the U.S. practice of au natural forests and has aggressively begun a forest management program which grooms and utilizes the timber while cleaning the forest floor."
Germany has begun a similar program, and England's enviable and attractive forests are managed with a commitment to thinning of trees and clearing of fuel.
Before wildfires ripped through Arizona this year, Barton toured forests managed by the Apache tribe and the state of Arizona. Those forests were "properly cleaned and cleared." The federal forests were "deplorable."
Study after study tells us that what Barton argues is true.
President Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, lead the way in dramatically changing our country's management of forests. Let's start nurturing forests with more aggressive thinning and clearing, so we can waste less time and money on crisis control.

Nvidia Corp.'s surprising decision to start selling graphics boards under its own brand probably caught its partners unaware when the first Nvidia-marked graphics adapters emerged in Best Buy last week. However, it looks like for at least EVGA it was not a complete surprise as Nvidia had discussed appropriate plans before. As result, EVGA believes that Nvidia is not a direct threat.
"No comment. It is something [Nvidia] has always talked about, and now it's finally here," said Joe Darwin, a spokesman for EVGA, a premium supplier of Nvidia GeForce add-in boards, in an interview with Cnet News.com web-site.
It is natural that EVGA will not attack its supplier of graphics processing units and it given the relationship between two companies will even maintain exclusive relationship with Nvidia and will not start offering graphics cards based on Radeon graphics processors. Still, Nvidia's own-brand graphics adapters can hardly make EVGA or other suppliers of graphics boards glad, even when Nvidia's initiative is limited to U.S.-based Best Buy stores.
On the other hand, in the recent twelve months Nvidia lost two significant partners in the U.S.: BFG Technology ceased operations, whereas XFX ceased to sell Nvidia-based graphics cards. As a result, it is natural that market share of EVGA is about to increase, whereas market share of Nvidia GeForce has decreased over the past year, partly due to lower number of partners and mostly because of massive delays of Fermi-generation graphics processing units.
EVGA hopes that level of support and quality it provides will differentiate it not only from other vendors, but also from Nvidia itself.
"We are going to keep building Nvidia cards, and we're going to keep offering the best service. [...] Definitely our level of customer service and our programs and our community. All of our tech support is in house, 24-7. There are actual EVGA employees that do the support here; it's not sourced out. They get all the training from our product team. Our RMA service averages two to three days to turn around products coming in to us [for repair]. We haven't seen anyone else that can compete on that level," added Mr. Darwin.
At present Nvidia has no plans to sell its own built graphics cards in Europe, which is a good news for EVGA as well as other vendors.

12 Best Chanel Products -- and the Worst
See which items from this luxe brand are the best beauty products and worth the splurge and which one product you shouldn't spend a dollar on
Why: The biggest complaint many readers have with this cream -- it's "very expensive." It "will give you soft glowing skin but so will many other less expensive creams," says a reader. It also "didn't offer me any benefits I could see after a month of use. It felt tacky and icky on my skin," says another. One reader sums it up, "I'll save my money to spend on [Chanel] lipsticks, glosses, liner, etc."

Jesus gave us an assignment to love one another as we love ourselves. If you are a disciple, you love one another. You do not get to choose who you love. Neighbors are all around us. Neighbors watch out for us. You should not lie or slander but speak well of your neighbor.
The newly completed Good Shepherd Lutheran parking lot is the churches gift to the neighborhood. Attention and care went into the process of planning and the completion of the parking lot for the congregation. The plans speak of love for ourselves, love for the Lord and love for our church congregation as for ourselves.
Through Christ we are part of an estate plan. Being an heir with Christ is God's family means we simply accept what has been planned and accomplished for us. The hard decisions have been made. Our part is to receive the love, care, compassion, and assurance of our inheritance through Christ. We experience joy and gratitude as we review our loves and think about what legacies we want to pass on after we've gone on to inherit what God has planned for us.
God is never far away. Parents are never far away from their child. We must not always reach out to protect the children in such a way that they will not learn. So God is with us - never far away as He watch over us. As He is with us, we should remember the Lord in our minds, our lips and our heart.
God loves us as He loved his son. Joy, comfort and peace comes to us from God. These emotions pass all understanding as we seek to be neighborly. As the Song of Day explained we must console to be consoled, pardon to be pardoned, understand to be understood, give to receive and love to be loved. To one another we should give hope to those who despair, light to those in darkness, and joy to those with sadness.
Visitors are welcomed to come worship at Kenedy's Good Shepherd Lutheran at the 8:30 a.m. Contemporary Service, the 9:45 a.m. Adult Sunday School, and the 10:45 a.m. Traditional Service.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II Review - The Sony RX100 II updates the award-winning RX100 with the addition of Wi-Fi, hotshoe and a vari-angle screen. Can it improve on an already excellent model?
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II Review
It arrives with a host of improvements, including Wi-fi, NFC functionality and a new accessory point hotshoe. Lets see if these improve the RX100 II…
Sony RX100 II Review – Features
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II's sensor shares the same resolution and dimensions to the RX100, however the 1in 20.2MP Exmor R chip is now back-illuminated to increase the amount of light that's captured to help improve its low-light performance.
Compared to the RX100's 125-6400 sensitivity range, the RX100 II provides a 160-12800 ISO range that's equivalent to a 1EV gain at the high end. Set to overlay burst shooting mode, it's also possible to expand the ISO further to an equivalent of ISO 25,600.
Sensor and sensitivity aside, the RX100 II adopts the same 3.6x optical zoom lens as found on its predecessor. This fast 28-100mm lens is engineered by Carl Zeiss and features a maximum aperture of f/1.8 at the wide end that closes to f/4.9 at full telephoto.
To prevent the lens protruding too far from the body when it's switched off, Sony have used an Advanced Aspherical (AA) lens element to keep it as slimline as possible, while the lens also features a 7-blade aperture diaphragm to produce pleasing Bokeh (out-of-focus areas).
Users of filters and conversion lenses should note that lens doesn't support a filter thread, but there is now an option to set the zoom in step increments, with 28,35,50,70 and 100mm settings all available to choose from.
To counteract the affects of handshake, the RX100 II incorporates Sony's Optical SteadyShot system. Active and Standard modes can be set when recording HD video, and the zoom can also be used when shooting HD video, which is unlike some other compacts and smartphones.
LCD screen
Improving on the Sony RX100's fixed screen, the Sony RX100 II features a 3in, 1229k-dot display that's the tilting type. It utilises Sony's White Magic technology and is designed to display brighter images and preserve battery power. Additionally, a new Multi interface shoe opens up possibilities for creative photographers who'd like to attach additional accessories to the hot shoe, such as an electronic viewfinder, external flash or remote control.
Not to forget its new connectivity options, it's also Wi-fi equipped and becomes Sony's first camera to be NFC enabled – allowing one-touch image transfer between the camera and NFC enabled devices.
Along with the standard P,A,S,M settings, scene modes and the option to shoot in the versatile Raw format, the RX100 II offers a selection of five Creative styles to create punchy and dramatic results straight out of the camera.
Adding to all this, the RX100 II can fire a continuous burst of images at 10fps in its Speed Priority mode, and HD video is supported in AVCHD or MP4 formats at 24/25p and 50/60p.
Sony RX100 II Review – Design
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II has a similar design to the RX100 and when they're viewed side-by-side, it's difficult to spot the differences. The hot shoe on the top plate is the clue we're looking at a camera with subtle design changes and it feels slightly bulkier in the hand with the addition of its new flip-out screen.
This can be tilted up by 85 degrees to make it easier to compose images from low angles, or alternatively, it can be tilted downwards by 20 degrees to get a clearer view of what you're shooting when it's held up high above your head.
Finished in aluminium, much like the RX100, it has a premium and hardwearing feel. Regrettably, it lacks any form of handgrip or rubberized material at the front and if this was added it could potentially improve the handling and prevent it from slipping from your hands when they're wet or cold.
Control set-up
The arrangement of the RX100 II's buttons hasn't changed either and all the exterior controls are kept to the bare minimum. Advanced photographers will appreciate the mode dial on the corner of the body and this offers instant access to the P,A,S,M modes, as well as Sweep Panorama, Intelligent Auto and Movie mode.
As we found out, it's possible to fire the shutter and change shooting modes single handedly, and though most of the buttons at the rear of the camera are small, they offer a reassuring click when used.
The Sony RX100 II's control ring that's wrapped around the zoom can be setup to control a host of functions, including White Balance, Creative Style, Shutter Speed, Aperture or Zoom. It doesn't notch into place or offer audible clicks like the RX100, but this prevents it affecting audio when video is being recorded.
After setting up the control ring to control the zoom, we took advantage of the new five-step preset focal lengths. Though the zoom operates no faster than if you were to use the zoom lever, it's useful to have a 35mm equivalent readout reference.
As you'd expect on a compact, a small pop up flash is found to the left of the hot shoe, while the function button (Fn) provides quick access to frequently used settings, such as exposure compensation, ISO, white balance and D-range optimizer.
Sony RX100 II Review – Performance
The RX100 II's menu is split into seven groups and the white on black text will be a familiar-looking interface for any Sony Alpha DSLR/SLT users. From an operational perspective, we found it odd how the scroll dial has to be spun anti-clockwise to increase the ISO after accessing it via the function button. Usually, the scroll dial is rotated clockwise to increase the shutter speed or close down the aperture and the result of having it the other way around for the ISO is that it's easy to lower the sensitivity when you want to increase it and vice versa.
While the Sony RX100 II's contrast-detect AF system might not be as sophisticated as the hybrid systems you'll find on CSCs and DSLRs, it's impressive by compact camera standards. For quick snaps, the multi-area AF mode works well, but if you'd prefer to select the point of focus yourself, Flexible spot lets you position the AF up to the edge of the frame and very near the top.
Without a touchscreen though, you're reliant on tapping, or holding the directional buttons to reposition the AF-point – something that's been made much easier with the introduction of Touch AF technology on touchscreen cameras.
The fastest autofocus is achieved in Single AF mode (AF-S) and it adopts the same AF acquisition speed (0.13secs) as the RX100 – dropping to 0.23secs in low light. Focus tracking works well when you'd like the camera to automatically follow a specified subject in the frame, but it's best suited for slow-medium paced subjects rather than fast action which it struggles with.
Speed and EVF
Switching the RX100 II to Speed priority mode and loading it with a Lexar Class 10 Premium Series SDHC card allowed 7 JPEG+Raw images to be captured simultaneously. Switching the file format to Raw only enabled 10 shots to be taken, and when we set the camera to JPEG (Fine) it rattled out the same number of frames before the buffer required a breather.
The option to attach an electronic viewfinder to the Multi Interface Shoe is very well received. The Sony EV1MK (£329) displays a crisp, high-contrast view just like the screen, albeit smaller and at closer distance to your eye. The unit slides effortlessly onto the hot shoe and provides a quick transition between the LCD feed and EVF feed thanks to the responsive eye sensor.
The extortionate price is the only aspect of the electronic viewfinder that's likely to put people off, especially when you consider it's more than half the price of the camera and would bring the total cost with the camera above the £1000 mark – a price that's well above and beyond what a majority of people are willing to pay for a compact camera.
Sony RX100 II Review – Image Quality
Colour and White Balance
With the White Balance set to auto, the Sony RX100 II produces neutral colours that appear neither too warm nor too cool. There are eleven other presets to choose from, which include Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent: Warm White, Fluorescent: Cool White, Fluorescent: Day White, Fluorescent: Daylight, Flash, Colour Temp/Filter and Custom.
As previously mentioned, there are also five Creative styles to choose from if you'd like to enhance, or reduce, the saturation of colour in-camera. These include Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset and Black and White. If any of these Creative styles are used, we'd advise shooting in the Raw+JPEG format so you can always retrace your steps back to the original saturation from the Raw file if required.
The Sony RX100 II put in an identical tone and exposure performance as produced by the RX100. The camera's metering system gives you the choice of either Multi, Centre-weighted or Spot modes, but it can take some time to find from the main menu and we'd prefer it if they could be selected directly from the function button.
Set to Multi, the exposure system handled high-contrast scenes very well, but we did occasionally find ourselves dialing in -0.7-1.0 EV to preserve maximum detail when we were shooting scenes with exceptionally bright highlights. There is also Sony's D-Range Optimizer with an Auto mode and 5 selectable levels.
This is used to produce a more natural looking result than Auto HDR, with in-camera processing applied to a single image to improve detail in both the shadow and highlights.
With the same sensor as the RX100, albeit now back-illuminated, it's no surprise that the RX100 II delivers identical resolution results to its predecessor. The 1in 20.2MP sensor delivers outstanding detail for a camera of its size and resolved an impressive 26 lines per millimeter at ISO 100 on our resolution chart.
If you're after a compact with a greater detail performance than this you'd need to look at model with an even larger sensor, such as the Nikon Coolpix A or Ricoh GR. The disadvantage of both of these models however is their size, and they're not as light or as small as the Sony RX100 II. The 28-100mm lens produces exceptionally sharp images through the range. The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture allows you to shoot with a super shallow depth of field at the widest end of the zoom, but a faster maximum aperture at the long end would be preferable.
Image Noise
The RX100 II produces a clean, noise-free performance at the low end of its sensitivity range, and for the very best results, you'll want to keep the sensitivity between ISO 100 and ISO 400. At ISO 800 noise begins to creep in to images, but it's not detrimental to the overall image quality and can be quickly removed using noise reduction techniques in Camera Raw.
At ISO 1600, colour noise becomes more noticeable when images are inspected closely and the furthest we'd push the sensitivity to in low-light is ISO 3200. Beyond this point, luminance and colour noise becomes more of an issue, while the saturation also becomes more muted.
Saying that, the detail that's resolved at ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 is very impressive and only starts to drop off slightly when you push up to the ISO 12,800 limit.
Sony RX100 II Review – Verdict
When we reviewed the Sony RX100 last year, it stood out as the best pocket-sized compact that money could buy. The new features that have been added to the RX100 II might make it seem like a basic upgrade, but they all add up to make it a better all-round compact. Great for amateurs or enthusiasts who'd like a smaller camera that's less cumbersome than a DSLR, but isn't a CSC, the RX100 II ticks all the boxes a compact camera should.
The pairing of the large sensor and fast lens allow you to produce images of exceptional quality, and the shallow depth of field effects you can create at f/1.8 are remarkable when you consider there's little trade off in regard to image sharpness.
The back-illuminated sensor delivers an improved performance in low light at high ISO, while the addition of Wi-fi and the way it can communicate wirelessly with smartphones or tablets via Sony's Play Memories app will appeal to those who'd like to shoot and share in an instant.
The only downside is its price, and at £649 it's one of the most expensive compact camera on the market. It's more versatile than the Nikon Coolpix A with its 3.6x optical zoom lens and is more practical too if you're concerned about size and how well it fits in the pocket. If it's out of your budget, the original RX100 remains a great buy and will continue to be sold alongside the RX100 II up until Christmas, by which time we expect the price of the latter to fall below the £600 mark.
To sum up, the RX100 II is a sensational compact capable of producing astounding image quality. Its petite body makes it great for discreet shooting, travelling, or when it doesn't seem suitable to carry a larger camera. It's a camera that can be picked up and used instinctively, with the only downsides being its price and the cost of the optional electronic viewfinder.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II Review – Sample Image Gallery
These are just a small selection of images captured with the Sony RX100 II. For a full range of images, head on over to the Sony RX100 II review sample image gallery.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II Review – First Look
Sony has today announced the RX100 II – a premium compact camera that's designed to sit beside the RX100 at the top of Sony's compact Cyber-shot range.
Just like the RX100, the RX100 II employs a large 1in 20.2MP sensor and as such firmly put a premium on image quality. The sensor itself is now back-illuminated to give the camera an improved native ISO range of 100-12,800, which is extendable to an ISO equivalent of 25,600 when the camera's overlay burst shooting mode is selected.
Focal range
The RX100 II employs the same 28-100mm f/1.8-4.9 lens as the RX100. A new step zoom feature lets users instantly choose from five popular focal lengths (28, 35, 50, 70 and 100mm) using the control ring – an intuitive alternative to zooming in and out when attempting to compose a shot in a hurry.
The Sony RX100 II also features an all-new multi interface shoe and multi terminal expand possibilities for the creative photographer who'd like to attach an electronic viewfinder, stereo flash, or stereo microphone.
At the rear of the camera sits a 3in display that utilises Sony's impressive 'White Magic' imaging technology. The display itself is one of the main areas of improvement over the RX100, as it's now of the vari-angle variety and as such can be tilted away from the camera's body.
In addition to being Wi-fi enabled, the RX100 II is the first ever camera from Sony to feature NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. NFC technology is becoming ever more prevalent in compact cameras and it provides an easier way of transfering images – simply touch the RX100 II against any other NFC-enabled device and you'll be able to transfer images wirelessly
Completing the RX100 II's impressive specification is Full HD video capture. This is also an upgrade on the RX100 in that it now features the addition of 24p/25p shooting for smooth results that mimic a cinematic feel.
Available in the UK from mid-July, the RX100 II is expected to cost £650, with the production of the RX100 continuing up to Christmas.

Today in Knicks history
December 18, 2006 Stephon Marbury hits a driving, buzzer-beating layup to give the Knicks a 97-96 (OT) win over Utah at Madison Square Garden. Knicks dressed the minimum, eight players in the contest, as it was the first game following a melee with the Nuggets.
Recent meetings
October 30, 2013 The New York Knicks opened the teams 68th season of NBA basketball at the newly transformed Madison Square Garden with a convincing victory over the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 90-83 for its first win of the 2013-14 season. New York was led by Carmelo Anthonys 19 points and 10 rebounds over 38 minutes for his first double-double of the season. Raymond Felton added 18 points, three assists and three steals over 34 minutes of play. Iman Shumpert posted 16 points and four rebounds over 33 minutes. Milwaukee was paced by Gary Neals 16 points and five assists off the bench. Caron Butler added 14 points. Milwaukee was short handed as they saw its starting guard Brandon Knight leave the game two minutes in. New York, once up 25-points, saw their lead dissolve but thanks to a Tyson Chandler put back dunk and two straight Anthony jumpers late in the fourth quarter put the Knicks up five points, a lead they would not relinquish. New York, after a slight hiccup, regained its control over the game and cruised to a 90-83 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on opening night. April 5, 2013 On a night where the New York Knicks honored the 1972-73 NBA championship team, the Knicks had a first half to forget before scoring a season-high 42 third quarter points- 18 points from Carmelo Anthony and 12 from J.R. Smith- as they rolled the Bucks in the second half outscoring Milwaukee 65-38 en route to a 101-83 victory to extend its winning streak to 11-games. The 11-game winning streak, which is tied for the third longest in franchise history, is the longest since the 1993-94 season (15-games). Carmelo Anthony posted 41 points on 17-28 shooting and 14 rebounds over 37 minutes for his seventh double-double of the season. This was Anthonys third consecutive 40-point performance tying the franchise record for consecutive 40-games (Bernard King- three straight in 1984). J.R. Smith recorded 30 points on 11-22 and 10 rebounds over 34 minutes for his seventh double-double of the season. This is the second game this season that both Anthony and Smith each posted at least 30-points in the same game. Milwaukee was led by Brandon Jennings 25 points and four rebounds over 37 minutes. Larry Sanders added nine points and 12 rebounds over 31 minutes.
Knicks forcing Tyson to return tonight .. Amare yelling on twitter "Im not injured" .... are there any truth to this Knicks organization
ye i heard that Dolan will be involved in any trades current Gm Mills or some1 is dumber than idiot [if this is possible] bcoz he cant do anything wright
Losing to the Wiz the other day was bad, losing to the Bucks would be a disgrace.
Looks like we're going to see alot of Toure Murry so people like myself will see if he's worth begging for anymore haha. Also Chris Smith is obviously going to get time too so....be prepared lmao
We're all aboard a flaming garbage truck that's been pushed off the top of Mt. Everest. It is a long way to the bottom, but it's been looking more and more like a sure thing we're going to get there. As for myself, I don't care if we hit rock bottom so long as we don't make a single move that kills our future flexibility in two offseasons. Might as well give Toure Murry and Chris Smith some burn along with THJ, Shump, Aldritch, and Tyler when he is available. Let's go Knicks!
they CANT loose this game.
next is Memphis 12noon east time and then OKC christmas blow out
We're already hit rock bottom, but with this franchise and the worst team assembled in Knicks history....is there even a rock bottom? A loss to the Bucks would just define us the worst team in the NBA by far.
I'll Bet Shump runs a lot of the point tonight
Pregame show says that Toure will be first PG off bench. Not sure how much playing time that means if we use other guards at the point. Further shake up of a team with bad offensive chemistry probably won' t bode well, but why not at this point?
we are the bucks biggest challenger to tanking
Knicks should take 3 Quick time out before the shotclock runs out just to make a point.
Any word on Tysons minutes? 20-30 or?
