PICS! Dan Schneider's photos of One Directon on iCarly
One Direction's visit to the iCarly set to film their guest-slot seems to have spread joy and sunshiney warmth to absolutely everyone involved.
The man behind iCarly, Dan Schneider, posted these links to some snaps on Facebook of the boys on the iCarly set, from his Twitter account (@DanWarp), that's some intense social networking for you right there.
The pictures are from the filming of the boys' episode, 'iGot Jungle Worms', which sounds way too complex for us to even begin to try and understand.
The boys' appearance has caused a bit of drama amongst the 1D fandom; as fans protest Harry getting a bigger role than the rest of the boys. This comes after reports from America say that the boys' US management is pushing for Harry to be seen as a lead singer.
It all seems a bit of a headache, so we're just going to focus on the boys looking fit with some teddies for now.
That's better.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary
Following today's International Conference on Afghanistan, Secretary Clinton spoke with reporters about Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea and women's rights. Secretary Clinton said:
"This has been an important day because of the emphasis that the world community has placed on Afghanistan. And this conference has achieved everything we hoped it could. It has rallied and united the international community against al-Qaida, it has strengthened the United Nations, and it has increased our commitment to cooperate with every country represented here as we work to address our common challenge.
We have listened to leaders from around the world. We have heard them speak with a single voice. We all recognize the need to support the people of Afghanistan as they build up their security services, strengthen their economy and institutions, and work with their neighbors to build a safer region.
For the people of Afghanistan, I hope that this conference marks a new beginning. We are extremely grateful to the Dutch Government for organizing and hosting this event, and for the people of the Netherlands for their sacrifice and commitment to this mission. The United Nations has played a critical role today, as it does every day, and we support the United Nations in assuming even more responsibility going forward.
Over the course of the day, I've had a series of bilateral meetings that have opened up a number of opportunities that we will pursue. I met with President Karzai, who plays a critical role in providing leadership for his country. We discussed how we will work together to implement the recommendations of the strategic review that was recently completed at the direction of President Obama.
I met with Foreign Minister Qureshi of Pakistan and General Pasha and their delegation. As I said earlier, Pakistan's fight against violent extremism is an integral part of the challenge that we all face in Afghanistan. The work we began here in The Hague will continue at the Pakistan donors meeting in Tokyo on April 17th.
I also met with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in preparation for the meeting between our two presidents tomorrow in London. We are very pleased at the progress that we have made on a range of issues that will be discussed, including Afghanistan, between our presidents.
I also met with Foreign Minister Nakasone of Japan. Again, we discussed Afghanistan and the donors conference that Japan will host on April 17th for Pakistan. And we spent time, as you might guess, discussing our joint efforts to promote security on the Korean Peninsula.
We emerge from this conference even more committed to the common task of helping Afghanistan prevail against a ruthless enemy, and even more united in our efforts to address the broad agenda facing the international community."
Read the Secretary's press availability here.
Ron in New York writes:
The Nephew of the Lion of Afghanistan (Wadood) controls mines near the Pakistan border. USAID should fund his mining projects to keep colored-stones from the hands of Talibans doing business with crime groups and terrorists. Support Wadood; keep money from terrorists.
Maggie in California writes:
How does Secretary Clinton view the report in the Independent that President Karzai allowed the passage of the Shia family Law which "negates the need for sexual consent between married couples, tacitly approves child marriage and restricts a woman's right to leave the home, according to UN papers seen by The Independent."
Jennifer S. in West Virginia writes:
I am so happy to read Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks to the press following the International Conference on Afghanistan! This is why I love and admire this woman! She makes me so proud! In response to a question about how women in Afghanistan fit into our overall strategy in that country, the SOS said:
"Well, there's a continuing commitment to women and girls, to their well-being, to their education, their healthcare, to their full integration into society that I am very committed to, as is President Obama. So this is an area of absolute concern on the part of the United States. We're looking for ways that can produce even more opportunities for women and girls in Afghanistan.
I've briefly met with some of the women parliamentarians who are here at the conference. And my message is very clear: Women's rights are a central part of American foreign policy in the Obama Administration; they are not marginal; they are not an add-on or an afterthought.
I believe, as does President Obama, that the roles and rights of women in any society is a key indicator as to the stability and potential for peace, prosperity, and democracy of that society. So I would be committed to women's roles and rights because of my lifelong concern about women. But as Secretary of State, I am equally committed because it's absolutely the smart strategy for the United States and other nations to pursue.
You cannot expect a country to develop if half its population are underfed, undereducated, under cared for, oppressed, and left on the sidelines. And we believe strongly that that?s not in the interests of Afghanistan or any country, and it certainly is not part of our foreign policy or our strategic review. So we will continue to work very hard on behalf of women and girls in Afghanistan and around the world."
She makes me proud and hopeful!
Ronald in New York writes:

J.P. in Wisconsin writes:
Curious as to how, with the U.S. firm warning not to proceed with their missile launch, North Korea will be able to save face to maintain their "stability" inside their country?
Most likely, North Korea would outright refuse an offer from any American business to take on the launch of their commercial sattelite; however, if they're truly looking to launch a commercial sattelite, wouldn't the best way to allow that to happen and increase the success of multiple party talks be an arrangement by all involved to have China launch the satellite for them with observers from all parties? That would force them to pay up to their reason for launching the satellite and offer a chance for China to take a stronger role in stabilizing the region. Just a thought.

Topic: Problem in regular expression
Hi everyone,
I am new to Ruby and got struck in regular expressions. It may be not a big problem but i am not able to understand this:
Consider the following code:
1. for i in 1..100
2. print "Now at #{i}. Restart?"
3. retry if gets =~ /^y/i #here
4. end
Can anyone tell me what does 'i'(/^y/i) in line 3 means??

The fact that a handfull of players eligible for the rule five draft and available in the 16th round of the June draft turned out to be great, doesn't change the fact that 99% of them aren't very good. The same is true for players placed on waivers.
The fact that a player was once placed on waivers tells us bostloads about that player. It tells us that the odds are high that he will ever be at least a league average player. Sure some do, but the vast majority do not.
And while you are right that someone being placed on waivers probably tells us something about that player, it doesn't mean that there aren't exceptions. Edwin has generally been a solid hitter, it has been his defense that has been the problem in his game.
Edwin just clubbed another HR.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Speaking of EE, Josh Roenicke and Zach Stewart have been pitching out of the bullpen for the Rockies and White Sox, respectively.

Times Have Changed Since 1963
To The Reader's Forum:
How times have changed. When I was a student at Jamestown High School I took a Retailing class, Russell Abbott was the teacher. One of our assignment was to do a sales demonstration. I asked Mr Abbott if I could bring my new model 37 Ithaca shotgun for my sales demonstration. He said he would have to check with the principal if it was OK. He got permission from Principal Mead Anderson. The day I did my demonstration I brought the shotgun to Anderson office. I open the box assembled the gun for him. He admired it. I took it apart put it back in the box, kept it in his office until second period, picked it up took it to class and did my demo. Then returned the gun back to his office. The day I did my assignment was November 22, 1963. I think a lot of us remember that day. Boy have times changed!
Jim Elardo,
Russell, Pa.

VERDI Aida Price Gorr Vickers Solti 4782679
Solti motivates his account of Verdi's score with thrilling dynamism, fully displaying the music's grandeur and depth as well as deriving considerable refinement from his Roman forces. His cast is led by Leontyne Price, the Aida of her generation, her enriched soprano fleshing out the title role with heady sensuality. Opposite her, Jon Vickers is a Radames in the heroic mould, but with the character's sensitive side also to the fore in a comprehensively thought-through and superbly sung account. Rita Gorr delivers Amneris's outsize passions in the grandest manner and Robert Merrill makes a memorably complex Amonasro, observing such niceties as comforting the heartbroken Radames after his unwitting admission of Egypt's battle plan. Compelling.

Szott's There To Help Jets Young And Old
Posted 05 September 2010 - 05:34 PM
[b]Szott's There to Help Jets Young and Old[/b]
By Nick Gallo
Posted 11 hours ago
[list][*][url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-1/Szotts-There-to-Help-Jets-Young-and-Old/718f4b36-12a9-40c1-ae95-64bedb1a9d4a#"]a[/url][*][url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-1/Szotts-There-to-Help-Jets-Young-and-Old/718f4b36-12a9-40c1-ae95-64bedb1a9d4a#"]a[/url][/list] The rain was pouring down outside the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, so the Jets were holding practice on the turf inside their fieldhouse. As pads clashed and helmets crunched during running drills, suddenly the action stopped as rookie guard Charlie Tanner crashed to the ground with a teammate or two accidentally falling on top of him.
It was clear Tanner was hurt, and no one moved to his aid faster than Dave Szott.
I spend a tremendous amount of time with each rookie class, said Szott, the Jets' director of player development. We spend literally every day from the time they show up in mid-May to the time they leave in July, about seven or eight weeks there, where every day we have some type of programing. So I know these guys really, really well.
Szott has the gameballs he received during his 14-year NFL career displayed in his office to remind the players he mentors that he, too, was in the same position as they. From getting rookies set up with their first apartments to advising older veterans when and how to retire, Szott has a major impact on the lives of each player who steps through the Jets doors in Florham Park, N.J.
Szott is a great guy, tight end [url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/dustin-keller/32815cea-99f2-4f61-8b67-c6ca04e4612c/"]Dustin Keller[img]http://www.newyorkjets.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] said. Hes kind of the jack of all trades around here. Anything you need, hes there to help you out. No matter what time it is, hes always there. It doesnt matter if youre Sanchez being the fifth pick or an undrafted guy. He treats everybody the same and hell go above and beyond to do anything for these guys.
Tanners pain is something Szott could understand, since he suffered injuries during his career as well, including during his time as a Jet from 2002-03. After spending 11 highly productive seasons with the [url="http://www.kcchiefs.com/"]Kansas City Chiefs[/url], Szott played one year with the [url="http://www.redskins.com/"]Washington Redskins[/url] before joining the Jets. The Clifton, N.J., native and Penn State product was a two-time Ed Block Courage Award winner and started 160 of the 177 games he played in his career.
During his time in Kansas City, Szott made an indelible impression on current Jets fullback [url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/tony-richardson/37339d35-8bcc-4e51-bc9f-e567fafaf067/"]Tony Richardson[img]http://www.newyorkjets.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url].
He was a tremendous leader for us in Kansas City both on the field and off the field, Richardson said. Now being here and having the opportunity to work with him has been the icing on the cake for my career. Hes an awesome guy.
In fact, Richardson and Szott once lived together during the offseason and Richardson credits Szott with being the catalyst for a serious and lasting recommitment to his faith. Szott has the versatility to work with all aspects of players lives. Current Jets trust him because he goes extra lengths to be there, including visiting injured players. Szott dropped in on DE [url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/ropati-pitoitua/edb0350f-148a-4795-ad32-26ddd5aba8d9/"]Ropati Pitoitua[img]http://www.newyorkjets.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] after the Jets second preseason game against the [url="http://www.panthers.com/"]Carolina Panthers[/url] to get a gauge of where Pitoitua, who suffered a season-ending Achilles' injury, was emotionally, physically and mentally.
I help guys sift through their thoughts, their feelings, where theyre at in their career, Szott said. What you can be and what can you give to us on the field and in the locker room. The leadership is definitely instrumental in success because you have to bring these young players along and conveying those things to the older guys. Sometimes you just think of football, football, football. How can you add in other areas?
In a sense, Szott creates a personal continuing education program, encouraging players to mature and grow in a variety of ways. Through taking the players to the NFL's Rookie Symposium to going fishing to simply spending time with them, Szott gets a pulse on every player at the facility and has a chance to connect with them.
One player he's become extremely close with is DT [url="http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/kris-jenkins/e09dfe2e-16f8-44ab-a2f8-97fec4152b4d/"]Kris Jenkins[img]http://www.newyorkjets.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], who did a lot of soul-searching this offseason. Szott said that Jenkins has plenty of football left in his career and Jenkins spoke highly of the man to whom he can turn for advice.
Szott is like the 13th apostle, Jenkins said. He got dropped into this locker room by the Lord himself just for the sake of helping guys out with anything they need. Im talking about as far as emotional stuff, family things. Szott is here to make sure players develop.
Each player on the New York Jets is different, which is why Szott needs to get to know them all personally to figure out the best course of action for each. It takes a lot of time and effort, and it seems as though Szott is all at once focused on his responsibilities but calm and generous with his time. Its rare to see him without a smile on his face, even as hes juggling various duties.
In my role, Szott said, not every player development director has the support and resources that the Jets have allowed and given me. From Mr. Johnson to Mr. Tannenbaum to Rex Ryan, they allow me to really maximize this role with what the league intended it to be. With that regard, a lot of the success I do have in this position is due to the support they give me.

Small batches in Bosch Compact, Universal, Concept
June 16, 2013, 09:01:14 PM »
I got into making bread and pizza dough from home ground wheat flour, and started with small dough batches to test out various combinations of red and wheat flour. The first mixer I used was the Bosch Universal ( not the plus ) that I got off ebay. It had the dreaded dough wrapping around the center column with small batches. I then got a Compact, and it does a great job with small batches and high hydration, but can move around a bit. I saw a Concept on ebay that was not working, bought and get it working, so I decided to do a head to head comparison, before I sold off the Universal. The Concept is not well know, but came out after the Universal, but before the Plus - it was not a real success, and so it was stopped. It uses the same bowl size as the Universal and the Plus . When it first came out, it had what they later called European dough hooks - apparently a lot of complaints were made, so they started offering what the called the US or heavy duty dough hooks. I used the European Dough hook on the Concept because from a prior trial, I got the dough wrapping around the center column when using the US - Heavy Duty Dough hook. The first photo shows all 4 dough hooks. As you can see, the Compact Hook looks like a toy, and the Concept US Heavy Duty Dough hook is a monster.
The test was to knead a small batch of KABF - 200 grams Flour, 130 water, 4 grams Salt .3 yeast. My idea was to start all 3 mixers with the same stuff, then stop every minute and see how well each one did. It didn't work out exactly that way, because I soon realized that Speed 1 on the Universal, was much faster than Speed 1 on the Concept, and it was hard to judge the speed of the Compact because it has a totally different motion than the other two. So that threw everything off, but I did get some interesting results. First, I started all three by putting the water in the bowl, then using pulse on the Universal, and the slowest speed on the other two, then turned up the speed for the rest of the minute. By the end of the 3rd minute, the Universal had a pretty nicely kneaded ball, and the Compact had still not incorporated all the ingredients, the Concept was behind the Universal, though the Universal's first speed is probably about the same as Speed 3 on the Concept. By the end of the 4 th minute, the Universal had a pretty well kneaded dough, the Concept was slightly behind, the Compact lagged further ,but I had been running it at 2, so I turned it up to Speed 3. By the end of the 5th minute, they were all pretty close. Good enough to go into the fridge for long ferment, but no window pane. Right after I started after the 5th minute, the Universal got the dreaded wrap around the center column. I tried to move the dough back to the bottom, but it would go right back to the column. I measured the temp and it was 77.4. The dough in the Concept was 76.3 and felt a little lumpy, but passed the window pane test. By that time, I had turned the Compact up to speed 3 for a the last few steps, and the dough temp was 80.1. it felt smoother than the Concept, but did not do as nice a window pane.
So my conclusions were if you want to get a good knead, but don't need to hit a window pane, any of the three will handle very small batches of dough at 66% hydration. If you go just a little too far with the Universal, it will wrap around the column. It is possible that you can chill it to get it to knead again. The Compact seems less efficient, but it keeps chugging along and had no problem with this small batch. The Concept seems steadier than the Compact when mixing, and can handle a small batch with the European Dough Hook. With the US Heavy Duty hook, it was no better, and maybe a little worse, than the Universal.

National Center for Education Statistics
For some people, a master's degree just isn't enough. The personal and professional growth they desire requires more. For educational leaders who want to go further than their master's degree will take them, but who don't want to commit to a full PhD program, WMU offers an Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership.
People seeking an EdS degree should be certain about their academic and professional goals. It's not a PhD program, but it's no less rigorous. The program is designed for working professionals and is, therefore, incredibly flexible. Classes are scheduled to accommodate the schedules of busy students.
School administrators, teacher leaders, and educational directors in K-12 schools with at least three years of experience and a related master's degree are encouraged to apply.
Professionals who obtain the EdS in Educational Leadership can advance to leadership positions in Higher Education or K-12 settings, depending on area of focus and commensurate experience.
If your employer has a tuition reimbursement program, find out about WMU's deferment program for employer paid tuition.
Washington Monthly placed WMU on a list of national universities that offer "the best bang for the buck." WMU came in at No. 50 based on the economic value students receive per dollar.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (144 votes).
In short: Glad I did it - I needed to prove to myself I could still doi 10K!In full: Was surprised to have to pay to park out by the arena - pretty sure last time it was P&R, as were other runners, and there seemed to be no-one vaguely official around this year - not even car park marshals! The tram company have wised up too - buy tickets in advance, on the platform! The run was good - as ever, a Great Run organised event, and nice to see the elite coming homeward whilst I was still running out (no, really!). Those little (?) hills at the end though - ugh.Date of review: December 31, 2010
In short: Good organisationDate of review: September 20, 2010
In short: Still as tough as last year even with a flatter finish line!In full: There was a change to the course this year with a dog-leg on Penistone Road that meant the finish line was on Arundel Gate next to the start line. However, it didn't make it any easier at the end so an improvement of 2 minutes 29 seconds on last year's time was very welcome. Maybe not as many runners as last year but nonetheless a well organised and fun event. The bands on the course certainly add atmosphere but I didn't hear many of them as I had Lady Gaga in my ears for most of the way.This race ends my 2010 season and I'm still aching from the effort. Recommended race.Date of review: September 10, 2010
In full: My first ever race, so was pleased to finish in under one hour. Definitely be back next year. Now looking for another 10k to do in oct/nov.Date of review: September 8, 2010
In short: Great race on door step but bit pigged off with runners in Orange wave walking at 3k In full: realy enjoyed this ..will always support races on my door step but like many others have said costs is pretty expensive. Even though people starting in Orange wave where slower than me did manage to get a PB so very prud of myself. Hvae doen this race since it started and had trained for the last 400 metres uphill so this paid off - though race photos not taken at the best places ..mainly on Commercial st ..not going to make much money off those I reckon.Date of review: September 8, 2010
In short: My first proper run - enjoyed every minute. Even the last 1km!Date of review: September 8, 2010
In short: we did this as a family with 4 of us running, found the city warm and welcoming. agree about the road surfaces and the killer hill at the end on otherwise a fast course but the hill actually makes it special!!!!!! We will all be back. At 56 have founDate of review: September 7, 2010
In short: Enjoy the route - mainly flat except for the hill at the end!In full: This is the second year running I have done this race. It was fairly well organised for me but they do send the packs out very late. The start was ok but I always miss the warm up as its not well organised. Always seems to be a lack of toilets too (which dont have a huge queue). Route is enjoyable and goes fairly quick. Having the musicians is a nice touch and the run through shower was fun. The hill at the end isn't nice when you're worn out but its not enough to put me off. The bag I got at tne end had the wrong sized tshirt and 2 medals. My BUPA photos were poor...all taken on the hill, maybe not the best place. Quite expensive to take part in this but will probably do it again anyway.Date of review: September 7, 2010
In short: Start should have been marshalled better. Runners of all colours climbing fences to get to the front 2 pens.Date of review: September 7, 2010
In short: Good for a possible PB and a good atmosphereIn full: The start was a lot better than I remember previously, not as crammed in round the first corner.Some of the music was poor especially the one between 8km and 9km, some lass making noises in a microphone, bizzare.The drinks station was reasonably well organised.As per everyone else, the road surface is appalling, but that's what you get on a main bus route.Date of review: September 7, 2010

USA Canoe/Kayak's One-Year-Out Olympic Primer
***UPDATED March 13, 2012***
Wednesday, July 27, marks the official one-year-out date from the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games, July 27-August 12, 2012. Follow our journey toward London 2012 on USACK.org, Facebook and Twitter.
The 2012 U.S. Olympic Canoe/Kayak Team will consist of seven athletes competing in six events. Those events are:
- Sprint - women's single kayak (K-1)
- Sprint - men's single kayak (K-1)
- Slalom - women's single kayak (K-1)
- Slalom - men's single kayak (K-1)
- Slalom - men's single canoe (C-1)
- Slalom - men's double canoe (C-2)
The U.S. will field a full slalom team. Slalom events included in the Olympic program are men's C-1 and C-2 and women and men's K-1. A National Organizing Committee can qualify a second C-2 boat should the men's K-1 and C-1 representatives decide to pair up. Team USA qualified slots for men's and women's K-1 at the 2011 World Championships in September in Slovakia. The U.S. canoe athletes earned their slots by placing first at the 2012 Pan American Championships in March in Brazil, which was the last chance qualifier. The specific U.S. athlete that will fill these slots will be determined by performances at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Slalom Team Trials and the first stop on the 2012 ICF Slalom World Cup tour.
The U.S. will send two sprint kayakers to London. Sprint events included in the Olympic program are as follows: Men's K-1 200m, K-1 1000m, K-2 200m, K-2 1000m, K-4 1000m, C-1 200m, C-1 1000m, and C-2 1000m; Women's K-1 200m, K-1 500m, K-2 500m, and K-4 500m. Team USA qualified slots for men's and women's K-1 at the 2011 Pan American Games in October in Guadalajara, Mexico, which was the last chance qualifier. The specific U.S. athlete that will fill these slots will be determined by performances at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Sprint Team Trials and the first stop on the 2012 ICF Sprint World Cup tour.
The "hopefuls" that qualified the Olympic slots for Team USA are:
- Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) - women's sprint K-1
- Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) - men's sprint K-1
- Caroline Queen (Darnestown, Md.) - women's slalom K-1
- Scott Parsons (Bethesda, Md.) - men's slalom K-1
- Benn Fraker (Peachtree City, Ga.) - men's slalom C-1
- Eric Hurd (Woodstock, Ga.) and Jeff Larimer (Marietta, Ga.) - men's slalom C-2

Competing with Crohn's: Two-time Olympian Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2003, while rehabilitating a shoulder injury. The illness left her unable to train in the 2003 and 2009 seasons. Johnson's favorite quote "falling in life is unavoidable- staying down is optional" suggests she has not let the disease keep her from her beloved sport. She qualified a Olympic slot for Team USA in women's sprint K-1 with two gold medals at the 2011 Pan American Games. She finished as high as 6th place on the 2011 Sprint World Cup circuit.
Is Third Time the Charm? Two-time Olympian Scott Parsons (Bethesda, Md.) qualified the Olympic slot for Team USA in men's slalom K-1 with a 15th place finish at the 2011 Slalom World Championships. A potential third Olympics offer a chance to finally achieve his dream of winning an Olympic medal. He placed 6th at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Parsons will face tough competition from his teammates for the one men's slalom K-1 slot. He finished as high as 8th place on the 2011 Slalom World Cup circuit. He must beat out 2004 Olympian Brett Heyl (Norwich, Vt.) and Scott Mann (Bethesda, Md.).
A True Student-Athlete: Caroline Queen (Darnestown, Md.) is a sophomore at Davidson College in North Carolina, a short drive from the U.S. National Whitewater Center and site of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Slalom Team Trials. The 19-year-old is taking the spring 2012 semester off from school to focus on training for the Trials and, hopefully, her first Olympic Games. She plans to enroll in medical school after completing her undergraduate studies. Queen qualified the Olympic slot for Team USA in women's slalom K-1 with 37th place finish at 2011 Slalom World Championships. The 2011 U.S. National Champion faces stiff competition from Ashley Nee (Darnestown, Md.).
Four Years Wiser: Benn Fraker (Peachtree City, Ga.) was a carefree 19-year-old slalom canoe athlete at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. "I was a boy then, and I aim to return in London a man," Fraker said. His paddling as matured. He takes fewer risks and trusts his ability more. Fraker qualified the Olympic slot for Team USA in men's slalom C-1 with a Gold medal at the 2012 Slalom Pan American Championships. The 2011 U.S. National Champion has been pushed by the emergence of teammate Casey Eichfeld (Drums, Pa.), who finished second to Fraker at the Pan American Championships.
Like Fathers, Like Sons: The men's Slalom C-2 tandem of Eric Hurd (Woodstock, Ga.) and Jeff Larimer (Marietta, Ga.) are both following in the wake of their paddling fathers, Mike Hurd and Mike Larimer. The elder Hurd and Larimer trained with each other on the Chattahoochee River just north of Atlanta. Mike Hurd was also a high school All-American basketball player. Mike Larimer narrowly missed out on competing at the 1992 Olympic Games, but he was able to coach Team USA at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. Surprisingly, their sons have only recently joined forces in doubles canoe. But the duo quickly established themselves as the best C-2 boat in North and South America with a Gold medal at the 2012 Pan American Championships.
The Waterman Spirit: Ryan Kawika Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) embodies the spirit of the Hawaiian "Waterman." He excels at all paddle sports, which are important activities for many residents of the island state. The 22-year-old grew up surfing, fishing and swimming with his older brother, Patrick, also an elite sprint kayaker. He qualified the Olympic slot for Team USA in men's sprint Kayak with a bronze medal in K-1 200m at the 2011 Pan American Games.
There are two Olympic disciplines within Canoe/Kayak: flatwater sprint and whitewater slalom. Flatwater sprint races are often held at the same venues as Olympic rowing. The London 2012 sprint venue is at Eton Dorney, 25 miles west of London. Whitewater slalom courses involve paddlers making their way through rapids around gates, not unlike slalom skiing at the Winter Games. London 2012 slalom venue is the Lee Valley Whitewater Centre, 30 km North of Olympic Park. Both sprint and slalom involve canoes and kayaks, although women's canoe is not currently part of the Olympic program. Paralympic Canoe/Kayak was recently voted in for Rio 2016, but will not be part of the London Games.
USA Canoe/Kayak is a non-profit membership organization based in Oklahoma City, OK, promoting canoe and kayak racing in the United States. A member of the United States Olympic Committee, USA Canoe/Kayak is the national governing body for the Olympic sports of Flatwater Sprint and Whitewater Slalom and the official U.S. federation of the International Canoe Federation. Other paddling sports sanctioned by USACanoe/Kayak include Marathon, Freestyle, Wildwater, Stand Up Paddleboard, Canoe Polo, Canoe Sailing, Outrigger, and Dragon Boat.

Intel Corp. plans to launch its new mobile platform aimed at performance-demanding end-users on the 23rd of September, 2009, according to documents seen by X-bit labs. The code-named Calpella platform will open the doors to mass mobile quad-core microprocessors eventually, but initially there will be only three chips launched along with the platform and all of them will be quite expensive.
Intel Calpella platform will be based on the code-named Clarksfield microprocessors with four cores that will be sold under Core i7 trademark as well as code-named Ibex Peak-M core-logic that will be branded as Intel PM55.
Like desktop counterparts code-named Lynnfield, Intel Core i7 mobile processors will have integrated dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and will utilize a new interconnect bus. Initially, there will be three Intel Core i7 mobile chips: Core i7-720QM (with or without vPro technology), Core i7-820QM (with or without vPro technology) and Core i7-920XM that will operate at 1.60GHz, 1.73GHz and 2.0GHz, respectively. Thanks to Nehalem micro-architecture, the new chips will support HyperThreading technology and will be able to process eight threads at once. The mobile Core i7 processors will sport 256KB of L2 cache per core as well as 8MB (800- and 900-series) or 6MB (700-series) of unified L3 cache. The chips will use 989-pin mPGA packaging.
Since the new microprocessors are made using 45nm fabrication process, the Calpella will not be much more power efficient compared to current generation platforms. The Core i7 Extreme mobile processor will have thermal design power (TDP) of about 55W, whereas the other Core i7 mobile chips will have 45W TDP. In fact, thermal envelopes of the new chips are even higher compared to existing Intel Core 2 Quad for mobile processors, but keeping in mind that the new CPUs feature built-in memory controllers, overall power consumption of the whole platform should remain on about the same levels.
Intel expects the Core i7 mobile processors to offer tangible performance boost compared to existing central processing units, which is why Intel will sell the Core i7 models 720QM, 820QM and 920XM for $364, $546 and $1054, respectively, which is generally similar to comparable Intel Core 2 Quad mobile chips.
Officials from Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Hurricane Sandy may have created misery for millions of sodden East Coasters, but a blanket of white from the Halloween storm was a welcome side effect at U.S. ski resorts hoping for a rebound from last year's paltry snowfall and unusually warm temperatures.
The $6-billion-a-year ski resort business logged its worst season in two decades last winter, with a 15% drop in skier and snowboarder visits and the lowest national average snowfall since the early 1990s, according to a survey by the Lakewood, Colo.-based National Ski Areas Association. About half the responding resorts either opened late or closed early, particularly in the Southeast, Northeast and Pacific Southwest.
LAST YEAR: U.S. ski resorts hurting for snow
MORE: With snow a no-show, ski resorts are struggling
But given a flurry of post-Sandy snowstorms from California to Colorado, the USA's ski season is "launching into pretty high gear" even before the industry's traditional Thanksgiving weekend kickoff, says meteorologist Joel Gratz of OpenSnow.com.
At Lake Tahoe, where up to 28 inches of snow fell last weekend and cold temperatures have allowed resorts to crank up what are touted as the largest snowmaking systems on the West Coast, six of the region's seven resorts already are operating or will be by Thanksgiving.
Farther east, Utah's Wasatch Range got more than 4 feet over the same weekend — prompting Alta, Brighton, Solitude and Snowbird to open this week.
Such spectacular early-season dumps aren't unprecedented, Gratz notes, and they may or may not be harbingers of a snowy winter ahead. But, he says, "they sure get the juices flowing, especially after last year."
A sampling of what's new on the slopes at major U.S. ski destinations:
Cakes and candles
Several resorts are marking landmark birthdays this season, including Utah's Alta — where fireworks and a torchlight parade Jan. 13 will commemorate the debut in 1939 of the state's first chairlift (the 75-year-old resort opened a year earlier with rope tows).
Vail's season-long celebration of its 50th anniversary kicks off today with the launch of a 10-passenger high-speed gondola that features heated, cushioned seats and free Wi-Fi. Festivities continue with a birthday celebration Dec. 15 and the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships from Feb. 25 to March 2.
Deals and discounts
In an attempt to convince leery vacationers that a dismal showing by Mother Nature needn't deep-six ski plans, a growing number of resorts are touting "snow guarantees."
Winter Park, Colo.'s offer for arrivals/departures through Dec. 20 lets visitors reschedule their trips later in the season (on a space-available basis) as long as the resort is notified 48 hours prior to the original arrival.
In Lake Tahoe, Heavenly provides a refund or change of dates between Dec. 15 and March 31 if less than 50% of the resort's 97 runs are open between two and seven days before arrival.
Once aimed largely at locals, season passes are in the spotlight with this year's launch of the Mountain Collective Pass. The $349 deal, available through Monday, is good for two free days each at Colorado's Aspen/Snowmass, Lake Tahoe's Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows, Utah's Alta and Wyoming's Jackson Hole — plus 50% discounts on lift tickets after the two free days are used.
Vail Resorts' acquisition of Tahoe's Kirkwood this year means Kirkwood skiers and snowboarders are eligible for Vail's Epic Pass program, which offers unlimited season access to Colorado's Arapahoe Basin, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Vail, plus Tahoe's Heavenly and Northstar, for $699 per adult through Nov. 18. That's less than a seven-day holiday lift ticket for Vail, the company's priciest mountain. The deal also includes six discounted "Ski With a Friend" tickets for companions and automatic enrollment in EpicMix, Vail Resorts' online and social media program that tracks skiers' progress on the slopes.
Expansion and improvement
Given the one-two punch of a sluggish real estate market and last season's dip in skier visits, "you're not seeing as many capital improvements this year," says Marc Guido, publisher of the Utah-based FirstTracksOnline.com.
But Northeast resorts in particular have invested millions in snowmaking infrastructure and upgrades. And near Flagstaff, the 75-year-old Arizona Snowbowl Resort spent about $12 million on a new system that will use reclaimed wastewater to make artificial snow — the first in North America.
Long known as a "steep and deep" paradise for experts (its most infamous run is Corbet's Couloir, a near-vertical ribbon of snow that begins with a 10- to 30-foot free fall), Jackson Hole has dramatically expanded its intermediate terrain in recent years. This season, a high-speed quad lift in the midmountain Casper area will give intermediate skiers easier access to runs such as Sundog, a new trail running below the lift. The new ride is just 31/2 minutes, a full six minutes off the old version.
Off the slopes, the venerable Hotel Jerome on Aspen, Colo.'s Main Street reopens in mid-December after a four-month renovation. Now operated by Auberge Resorts, the 123-year-old Jerome was a hangout for late "gonzo journalist" Hunter S. Thompson, who used its J-Bar as campaign headquarters when he ran for sheriff in 1970.
'Rocky Mountain high' time?
Despite Colorado voters' decision to legalize recreational marijuana, the federal government classifies cannabis as an illegal drug, and state law prohibits skiers from being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Possession of up to 1 ounce will be allowed pending the amendment's certification, but sales from state-sanctioned stores wouldn't start until 2014.
And while Breckenridge powder hounds already sport "You're So High" T-shirts — the "Amsterdam of the Rockies" decriminalized marijuana possession two years ago — a reliance on family business means "they're not going to cash in and use the new law to tout the destination," says Dan Sherman of Colorado-based Ski.com.

At FALCO, Peter Maria Schnurr has found his own definition of culinary modernism – his cuisine passion légère© is unique, unusual and passionate.
Peter Maria Schnurr oozes energy and drive. On the basis of classic French cooking, he channels his almost boundless creativity, the highest technical precision and the finest ingredients into dishes that exist nowhere but FALCO. He expertly juxtaposes unusual flavour pairings, frames them with delicate textural accents and derives a defining lightness from perfectly proportioned fruit elements in the menu sequence. The passion that Schnurr brings to his task is reflected in his creations – dining at FALCO is a journey of discovery that will never be forgotten.
In his TON : STEINE : SCHERBEN – Foie @ FALCO 2012 – yoghurt powder : red fruits fluid & fennel seed extract Schnurr transforms the name of a legendary German rock band into a duck liver dish which he presents raw-marinated (Ton - Clay), combined with Malto (Steine - Stones) and as a wafer-thin dehydrated mousse (Scherben - Slices). The gelée of red berry compote might seem like a classic idea, but Schnurr uses fennel seed extract, drop by drop, to create a thrilling, intense herbal counterpoint. Equally exhilarating is the sole de petit bateau – souffléed pork crackling – pomegranate : sauerkraut tapioca : bay leaf – Schnurr seasons the sole indirectly with souffléed pork crackling with piment d'Espelette, adding a marvellous sweet-sour interplay with the pomegranate and the sauerkraut, and shedding a completely new light on the traditional combination of fish and bay leaf – absolutely sublime.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: An amazing race which will push your limits who ever you are!In full: Not a race to be underestimated. Superb organisation with excellent marking throughout the 30 mile and a bit route. The extra bit at the end had me spitting fire swearing i'd never do it again! Nevertheless I'm looking forward to round two.Painful but brilliant race can't recommend it enough!!!Date of review: October 3, 2011
In short: Ok but not great!!In full: First time I've competed in a multiple lap race and didn't particularly enjoy it. However very nice setting and enjoyable drive to Blenheim palace! The event had a very clubby feel to it, i'll give this event 5/10 and doubt i'll run this event again.Date of review: September 21, 2011
In short: Running doesn't get much better!!In full: I love hills and trails and was in my element. Excellent organisation with one minor mishap at the start. Brutal finish to the Marathon!!Trails at there best!!!!!Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: A few hills to test the legs then get ready!!In full: Very enjoyable race, first time i've wanted to walk in a 10k ever but was chasing a pb. Plenty of ups with a fast uneven downhill sprint to the finish, certainly gets the blood pumping and adrenaline flowing.Managed to beat last years time so will be back fitter next year hopefully. I'll book early next year as this race is getting very popular. Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: Great scenery, Good Value, Enjoyed almost all of it.In full: Absolutely stunning views of Goodwood racecourse made this race for me, you basically circle it on route.Such a shame the route was so poorly marked this really needs to be addressed as its not the first year its been critised for this reason. I ended up running 29 miles and stopped another bunch of runners from the same mistake all because of poorly positioned directions.Would I run the race again? Well the answer is definately Yes! but only because I know the course and its Glorious!!Date of review: July 11, 2011
In short: Date of review: May 31, 2011

Council reviews North Highland project
NEW ULM – The New Ulm City Council accepted the preliminary feasibility report during its Tuesday meeting for the proposed North Highland Avenue Improvement project, which seeks to do major roadway work on the road's length from Highway 14 to County Road 29 in 2014.
The project seeks to turn the gravel road into a bituminous road with concrete curb and gutters. While heading from Highway 14 to County Road 29 on North Highland, the left side will gain a concrete sidewalk while the right side will maintain the existing bike trail. Some landscaping around the road is planned.
The project is another piece of New Ulm's long term goal to have a transportation corridor from Center Street to Broadway Street at the northern edge of town.
The roadway improvement portion of the project is expected to cost $1.85 million. To fund the project, the City will have $576,000 in federal aid available and another $1.274 million from the City's Municipal State Aid account.
However, despite the road portion likely to be covered without cost to New Ulm taxpayers, the report notes that the City still has to determine how it wants to approach the cost and work is needed to develop a stormwater treatment pond in order to meet federal, state and local stormwater regulations. The report outlined three options available for the City:
First, the City could create a large centralized facility with a setup that would treat 80 percent of the watershed area. This option would cost $910,981.
The proposal would be a "dry pond" that only fills up on occasion when large amounts of excessive water is deposited in it. The "dry pond" approach is suggested to avoid FAA concerns and regulations with standing water becoming a home to birds, which would be a problem for aircraft. The "dry pond" would have a sand layer at the bottom and a series of underdrains that would filter the storm water.
The benefit of this proposal is that it would provide treatment for the entire upstream watershed, it would likely use less land area than the other options, and future maintenance would be only at one location. The drawbacks are that a large land parcel would be taken off the tax rolls, the facility would be expensive to build, and the cost of maintaining it would be on the City unless a stormwater district is created.
Second, the report proposed the same idea but with a regional treatment pond that treats 100 percent of the watershed. The plan would additionally utilize an existing small stormwater pond at 23rd North Street as a "pre-treatment site" that removes grit and sediment.
This option utilizes existing City property to save some time and cost involved with land acquisition, but it is more expensive since excavation and dirt disposal is necessary to reform the site into an acceptable design.
Finally, the report offers an option close to the road that only treats exclusively the runoff from the road itself. An business that sets up along this area would then be required to build its own stormwater treatment measures.
The plan utilizes existing treatment ponds along the route of the road and adds two new ponds. It would minimally meet the requirements of the treating the first one inch of runoff, with the rest being discharged into the existing storm sewer system.
This proposals would be smaller and reduce the need for time purchases. However, it would require timely maintenance such as weeding and it would be to the disadvantage of potential private developers.
Regarding funding available, the State Aid funding is typically available to 100 percent stormwater collection systems. Stormwater treatment ponds eligibility to funding is subject to the final MnDOT review of the design plans. MnDOT State Aid has a minimum participation rate of treating 55 percent of the runoff to be eligible for any possible funds.
The report recommends the plan that treats 100 percent of the stormwater in the pond. It notes the plan offers further eligibility options for state funding and better handling of the treatment regulation. The Council was generally supportive of this plan, though it will make its final determination at later date.
In other business, the Council approved the Conditional Use Permit for M.R. Paving and Excavating, Inc. for its takeover of the New Ulm compost and burn site. The business is seeking to take over the site through a lease with the City to be able to sell the compost at a price and gain new display area for its own products.
The permit is the last step required before the City proceed with the signing of the lease to give M.R. Paving control for five years. No date has been announced yet for the official signing.

January Jones was spotted gallivanting around Pasadena with her Chanel Chain-Handle Quilted Tote this past weekend. And of course, by "gallivanting," we mean performing totally mundane, everyday tasks, like buying groceries. Stars, they're just like us! Occasionally. They shop at Whole Foods! They buy overpriced juices! They get assailed by paparazzi while waiting patiently at the olive bar!
We're glad to see Ms. Jones out and about during the Mad Men off-season, and we also understand that, as a single mom to a one-year-old baby, sometimes it's nice to just throw on some pink pants and a butterfly scarf and have a perfectly normal, baby-free moment. But frankly, we can't wait for this broad to get back in the kitchen, slap on an apron, and start scowling at everyone, Betty Draper-style!

Kass: Egg on Your Facebook
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) --
" Surprise No. 18: Facebook's IPO fizzles. The new offering is priced at a $70 billion equity capitalization but opens flat and breaks issue price in the first day of trading."
-- Doug Kass (Dec. 30, 2011)
Back in late-December 2011, I cautioned in my 2012 surprise list that Facebook's (FB) IPO would quickly head for a fall. I again cautioned about the company's share price outlook in an appearance on "Fast Money" two months ago, during the week of the IPO.
Last night Facebook reported disappointing metrics in its first earnings release since becoming a public entity -- its shares dropped by another 10%.
There has been a lot of discussion over the past few months regarding who is to blame for the awful IPO.
Was it the investment bankers (who reduced their sales and profit estimates a few days before the offering) or the Nasdaq (software glitch)?
How about blaming the buyers?
I do.
Frankly, the buyers (both institutional and retail) were greedy, as they thought this was a freebie (a chance for instant profits).
How many buyers actually read the company's prospectus? I did, and that reading confirmed that my surprise would shortly be realized.
I also blame the business media, including CNBC and Bloomberg; they fueled the fire with nonstop hype over the past year.
Shame on all of them.
Revisiting my view on Facebook on "Fast Money" -- on May 22, I spoke about Facebook with Melissa Lee and the gang,
Let's go straight to the tape .
"This is a historic moment in which new media has truly come of age."
-- Steve Case, January 2000
"The Internet had begun to create unprecedented and instantaneous access to every form of media and to unleash immense possibilities for economic growth, human understanding and creative expression."
-- Gerald Levin, January 2000
In that appearance I likened the publicity and hype that led up to the Facebook IPO to the hoopla surrounding the merger of AOL (AOL) and Time Warner (TWX) 12 years ago. When that deal was announced, AOL's frothy price made it worth twice as much as Time Warner, even though AOL's cash flow was less than half that of Time Warner.
Back then, similar to now, superlatives had been bandied about, but little substantive analysis was delivered.
Both AOL and Facebook have been characterized as gateways to the Internet. But there were problems with the AOL-Time Warner merger (the largest in history) before the ink dried on the transaction. The same could be true for Facebook's IPO.
Following the merger, AOL's shares commenced a steady, multiyear price decline from the high $70s to nearly $10 a share.

Statewide Ban On Open Burning Begins This Weekend
New Yorkers who live in smaller communities should be aware that all residential brush burning is prohibited during the state's historically high fire risk period from Saturday through May 14.
"Since the open burning regulation passed in 2009, there are a fewer number of fires reported in New York state this time of year," said Joe Martens, state Department of Environmental Conservation director. "I urge everyone to be cautious with the risk of wildfires and remind all New Yorkers that the statewide ban is in effect through mid-May beginning this week."
In 2009, New York toughened restrictions on open burning to reduce harmful air pollutants and help prevent wildfires. While the regulation allows residential brush burning for most of the year in towns with a population of less than 20,000, it prohibits open burning in all communities during early spring when the bulk of New York's wildfires typically occur. The new regulation prohibits the burning of garbage at all times and places.
Several factors enable wildfires to start easily and spread quickly at this time, including the lack of green vegetation, abundance of available fuels such as dry grass and leaves, warm temperatures and wind.
Open burning is the largest single cause of wildfires in New York state. Data from DEC's Division of Forest Protection show that debris burning accounted for about 36 percent of wildfires in the state between 1985 and 2009 – more than twice the next most-cited cause. In addition, from 2000 to 2009, New York's fire departments responded to an average of 2,300 wildfires each year during the period of March 14 through May 16 or about 46 percent of all wildfires for the year.
Fire department data for 2010, 2011 and 2012 indicated a 35 percent reduction in wildfires during the burn ban period for those years when compared to the previous 10 years (2000-2009). In addition, 80 percent of all communities across the state had a reduction of wildfires as compared to the previous ten years.
Violators of the open burning state regulation are subject to both criminal and civil enforcement actions, with the minimum fine of $500 for a first offense. To report environmental law violations call 800-847-7332 or report online on the DEC's website at www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/67751.html. A list of questions and answers on the new open burning regulation is available at www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/58519.html.

A guest post by Dr Julian Smart
Finding ebooks a bit of a minefield? It's an exciting time for digital book technology but there's plenty of scope for confusion and decision-making paralysis. In this article I'll try to lay out the major alternatives for reading ebooks.
Why go digital?
First, a little bit of a puff for ebooks – skip this bit if I'm preaching to the converted!
Basic book technology hasn't changed significantly for hundreds of years so it's natural that there will be some resistance to a reinvention of them. Admittedly, less resistance given that most of us have been habituated to reading words on screens for the last few decades. We're also getting used to the fact that the way our content is delivered is changing – the advent of CDs, DVDs, digital movie downloads and streaming catch-up services have all made us less concerned with the physical media, and more aware that it's the content that is important. People also have limited space for books, and for some kinds of content, if you're only going to consume the book once and move on to the next, why accumulate the physical carcasses of your past reads? Of course, the pleasure of books as physical objects is never going to disappear, but not all books are destined to be kept.
Reading a book on a regular computer screen is a somewhat unsatisfactory experience. The fixed nature of the screen, the distractions of other applications and the eye-strain-inducing LCD monitor technology all degrade one's enjoyment and concentration. So the arrival of dedicated reading devices can be seen as a massive boon for book-lovers, who now have the flexibility and immediacy of digital book delivery combined with a portable and eye-friendly way to consume content. You can travel with a choice of hundreds of books now, and you can adjust text size to suit your eyesight. You can even have your book read out to you if your eyes are not up to it. Far from reducing the status of the book, the dedicated ebook reader is the ultimate compliment to the form: it turbo-charges your reading.
For authors, of course, the advantages are enormous since it allows circumvention of the conventional gatekeeping roles of publishers, agents and (to a lesser extent) retailers. The consequences of opening the floodgates presents a quality and marketing challenge that will not easily be solved, but the freeing of the book from the conventional arbiters of taste has to be an extremely positive force on balance.
Dedicated reader devices
The company making most of the running at the moment is Amazon with their Kindle reader, now at version 3 which means the new purchaser gets the advantage of many improvements over the previous generations. For an affordable price, the Kindle 3 provides a 6" grey-scale screen that's readable in sunlight, speech synthesis, a mini keyboard, and both USB and wireless links (WiFi and optionally 3G) giving almost instant access to 400,000 books to purchase from Amazon and many more free books from a variety of sources.
Unlike most ebook readers, the Kindle uses a proprietary book format, Mobipocket, and does not support the open standard Epub. This is probably the most glaring downside of the Kindle; there's a lock-in that you have to accept if you go the Kindle route. However, you can read Mobipocket books on the Kindle that have no DRM (Digital Rights Management) and you can easily convert files from other formats to Mobipocket, to read on your Kindle without going via the Amazon Kindle store. Also, most mobile and not-so-mobile devices have a Kindle app that allows you to read all your Amazon-purchased books. So you can read them on your PC, Mac, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, Android device and other gadgets, all synchronized so you don't have to worry about copying purchased files between devices. Buy "The Butchered Man" on your PC and you'll immediately be able to read it on your iPhone or Kindle. Stop reading a title on your Android phone, and pick it up at the same place on your iPod Touch later. This all works very smoothly, and Amazon have pretty much perfected the whole process of purchase and instant delivery to the consumer. The addition of a web browser and audio file support are icing on an already very tasty cake. (Don't expect to use the web browser a lot, though; it's a bit fiddly to navigate, but it's fine for accessing free books on web sites, checking your email or getting a quick news fix.)
You'll need a cover for the Kindle, although you'll initially wince a bit over the price. Amazon's covers do make it easier to hold the gadget without pressing buttons accidentally, and they provide good and stylish protection.
If you're not sold on the Kindle and Amazon way of life, you will probably be interested in the Sony readers. They're metallic and therefore shinier than the Kindle, so that's a plus right there if you're a magpie. One of the Sony's more serious advantages is the provision of a touch screen. As many people have commented, in this age of the touch screen, it's so tempting to try to prod the Kindle screen to turn pages or access options. Alas this will be in vain on the Kindle, but not on the Sony reader, which arguably has the edge in making digital book reading feel natural. However Sony have rather wiped out this advantage by not providing wireless internet, so all books must be transferred by a cable attached to your PC or Mac, or via a memory card. Maybe I'm lazy, but this feels very last-century compared with getting your books immediately over the ether wherever you are in the house (or in the case of the 3G Kindle version, anywhere you can get a mobile phone signal). The Sony readers are also considerably more expensive than the basic Kindle 3 model, which might be more forgiveable if they had WiFi on board. Sony readers do have expandable memory, but that's not really an issue when the Kindle has several gigabytes of memory and a much easier way of getting books onto the device.
Stateside, the book giant Barnes & Noble have taken an interesting path with their Nook reader, which now has a colour LCD screen instead of an E-ink display. So it's more like a general-purpose tablet device – they're sacrificing battery life and long-term readability for the ability to display magazines, comics, children's picture books and so on. It depends on what you'll use it for but if you're mostly a novel reader, it's probably not the best choice.
Other ebook readers to consider include the Elonex eBook, Bookeen Cybook Opus and Libresco Iliad (see links below). They may well be good, but they will find to hard to compete with Amazon and Sony, so one has to wonder about their long-term future and support.
Reading on existing devices
Of course, you don't have to use a dedicated ebook reader; as mentioned, you can use the Kindle app on most gadgets including the iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. Or you can buy your books from Apple's bookstore and read them in the Apple iBooks reader app. The iPad doesn't make the best ebook reader since it's relatively heavy and (except in the dark) the screen isn't so nice to read for long periods. Forget reading in direct sunlight, too. But then you probably weren't thinking of taking an expensive gadget like the iPad to the beach…
On the desktop you can use Kindle for Mac or PC, or Adobe Digital Editions if you want to read Epub books from the Sony store, for example. On Linux, Windows and some mobile devices, you can use the open source FBreader application for non-DRM'ed books.
To keep your purchasing decision simple, consider the Kindle 3 and the Sony PRS series, and give the other machines a look if you're feeling adventurous. Tablets, iPod Touch and phones make reasonable casual reading devices. However, if you mostly read monochrome books, don't assume that that an LCD-based tablet device will substitute for a dedicated reader – it's partly a matter of taste, but there's a reason that E-ink screens are used in dedicated readers; the consequent readability and long, long battery life are important, as you will find if you are a keen reader. Besides, do you really want the distractions of the web and apps when you're reading a book? The odds are high that you'll find your dedicated, E-ink-based ebook reader a relaxing and treasured companion.

Hi Bellas,
In case you haven't been following Sigma on twitter, you might not have known about some of the absolutely amazing products that they've recently debuted. Sigma Makeup has really stepped up their game by debuting some amazing new travel brush sets and more!
Click here for more!
I love my Sigma Premium Brush Set. I use it on clients all the time. Recently, they've debuted new travel sets featuring their premium brushes. They come in several colors and OMG one is hot pink, yay!
I really do use my original Sigma Travel Brush set. I keep it set aside in a makeup bag with doubles of makeup I use. It makes it so much easier to pack when you have specific items set aside for travel. The hot pink set is totally on my lemming list...the Tulip Powder Brush (F25)is amazing for powder and contouring and of course the tapered crease brush (E45) is a god-send for doing makeup on small eyes.
I think i'll be definitely picking up Miss Taylor to add to my travel makeup bag.
You can find these products at Sigma Makeup . According to Simone, they also have a new, colorful makeup collection coming out too. There are a lot of great things to come from Sigma.
Are you guys picking up any of their new items? Let me know!

A deserving toast to a helicopter pilotMonday, July 30th, 2012
I was enjoying a can of G'Knight (yes, good beer now is available in cans), an imperial red ale brewed by the Oskar Blues Brewery in Colorado. (A rather tasty one, too, I might add.) On the can was a cryptic comment about the beer's namesake–and an unassuming URL that looked like it could refer to an N number. As an aviation journalist I had to look it up.
Gordon Knight was a Nebraska native who flew Army helicopters in Vietnam, where he earned a Purple Heart. In 1988 he moved to Boulder and made the leap from home brewing to professional brewing. He also continued to fly helicopters–often as a aerial firefighter. Knight died 10 years ago today, at age 52, after his helicopter crashed while he was fighting a forest fire just outside of Lyons, Colorado. The registration of the helicopter he had been flying was N3978Y, anchoring the URL printed on the can.
Knight had worked at a number of Colorado breweries, but never Oskar Blues. Yet his peers in the brewery saw fit to name a beer for their colleague, who died while doing something he enjoyed–and while trying to make a difference. A gesture like that tells me a lot about a person.
Here's to you, Gordon Knight. Even though we never had the chance to meet, it's clear from what I've read about you that I would have enjoyed the opportunity.

Kingston, a leading supplier of flash-based products, on Monday released its new solid-state drive (SSD) designed specifically to speed up Windows 7 boot-up time and operation. The new SSDNow V-series does not offer substantial capacity or extreme performance, but they still do the job and just for about $115.
Kingston's SSDNow V-series solid-state drive offers 40GB capacity, which is enough for installation of Microsoft Windows 7 and certain additional applications, features sequential read speed of up to 170MB/s and sequential write speed of up to 40MB/s. The SSD is designed for Serial ATA-300 interconnection. Obviously, the device is based on multi-level cell (MLC) flash and does not support any advanced performance-boosting technologies, e.g. DRAM cache.
"The SSDNow V-series 40GB Boot Drive offers instant performance enhancement coupled with reliability and lower power consumption at a fraction of the cost of a new system. The 40GB Boot Drive is the latest offering in our V Series SSD line. It provides a low-cost upgrade solution that complements the installed hard-disk drive to extend the life cycle of existing desktop computers and workstations in homes and offices," said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager at Kingston.
Using the industry-standard PCMark Vantage Advanced HDD Suite, Kingston SSDNow V-series 40GB solid-state received a score of 13 883, whereas a 7200RPM hard-disk drive attained a score of 3708, according to Kingston's internal testing.
Unfortunately, Kingston's SSDNow V-series 40GB SSD only has 1 million hours mean time before failure (MTBF), which is lower compared to Intel Corp.'s MLC-based SSD's 1.5 million hours or OCZ Technology Agility's 1.2 million hours.
The Kingston SSDNow V-series 40GB Boot Drive has manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $115, a special bundle that includes cloning software, 2.5" to 3.5" brackets and SATA data and power cable extenders has MSRP or $130 and will begin shipping on November 9, 2009. SSDNow V-series is backed by a three-year warranty. For limited time only, Kingston will sell SSDNow V-series 40GB SSD for $85 at Newegg.com.

The stars of NBC's "Grimm" were put through an acting exercise while filming "Beeware," the latest episode debuting at 8 p.m. Nov. 11.
In the episode, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are called to a case where a flash mob results in a homicide involving a swarm of bees.
When fans watch the episode Friday, they'll see the bees. Giuntoli, Hornsby and their co-stars did not while filming.
"It was just bizarre acting with bees that weren't there," Giuntoli told me recently. "You look ridiculous on set, responding to a swarm of bees."
Giuntoli was used to acting in scenes in...

Mark Schultz was born near Philadelphia and raised outside Pittsburgh. He got his degree in Fine Arts in 1977 and worked as a commercial illustrator until 1986. That year, he submitted his first 'Xenozoic Tale' to Death Rattle Anthology #8. A year later, Schultz had his own 'Xenozoic Tales' comic book. Marvel and Topps published spin-off series later on, both titled 'Cadillacs and Dinosaurs' and under Schultz's supervision.

Topic: Acts_as_ferret Sitewide Search
The documentation recommends I put find conditions in my models. Thats all fine and good, but its definitely not DRY if I have to paste this in 10 different models to get sitewide search
def self.full_text_search(q, options = {})
return nil if q.nil? or q==""
default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
options = default_options.merge options
# get the offset based on what page we're on
options[:offset] = options[:limit] * (options.delete(:page).to_i-1)
# now do the query with our options
results = Member.find_by_contents(q, options)
return [results.total_hits, results]
I have a feeling that I need to create some kind of helper file in my lib folder, I'm just not sure how to specify the class.

Today there appeared new rumors in the web about the date of the upcoming announcement of the next generation graphics solution from NVIDIA aka NV40. We have already told you that NVIDIA will not announce their new graphics accelerator at the CeBIT computer show in Hanover, and today Extremetech web-site reported that NVIDIA would announce NV40 on April 13, 2004 in San Francisco. Our sources close to NVIDIA confirmed that NV40 will be announced "sometime in mid April".
As you remember, the next generation of NVIDIA's GPUs aka NV40 will be manufactured with 0.13micron technology and will contain 210 million transistors. The information circulating around the web says that the new NVIDIA solution will feature 16 rendering pipelines, and will support vertex shaders 3.0 and pixel shaders 3.0. NVIDIA expects NV40 to provide a significant performance boost compared to what their current solutions demonstrate.
Despite the tendency of the graphics solutions moving towards PCI Express, NV40 has no native support of this bus. NVIDIA expects PCI Express to be not so greatly demanded this year that is why NV40 based graphics cards will be able to support PCI Express but only via the additional bridge chip.
Competing solution from ATI also known as R420 will be also announced within the same timeframe and will support PCI Express natively. So far there is no objective info about the performance of the upcoming NV40 and R420 solutions.
NVIDIA's officials refused to comment on this report.
Manufacturers of NVIDIA based graphics solutions told our rerpresentative at the CeBIT show, Anton Shilov, that they were going to start mass production of NV40 based cards in May.
