Enjoy the Intellectually Stimulating Conversations You Expected When You Entered Academia. Join Your Colleagues, And Integrate IRC Participation into Your Academic Goals
AY12-13 Interdisciplinary Research Clusters
Interdisciplinary research clusters at UNH enable faculty to engage with each other in stimulating research- oriented environments. They are faculty led; membership is open to all faculty and researchers. Individual faculty may be members of more than one cluster. Research clusters may conduct a range of activities such as: discussing literature, best practices, and current issues; exploring areas of overlap between the academic interests of individual faculty; hosting talks and presentations by members and guests; promoting faculty involvement with external professional organizations, funding agencies, and publishers; and promoting collaboration on grant applications, research, and publications. Some institutional financial support is available for activities that enhance the goals of the cluster. For more details about the structure of IRCs go to http://www.newhaven.edu/5762/grants/210468/.

Skirt: H&M (similar); Shoes: Urban (similar)
I got this jersey cotton skirt at H&M for way cheap because it was so comfortable... and then I went home and realized it made me look like a pseudo business woman. This immediately sent me into flashback mode to my business school days filled with stressful presentations, tense competition and cringe-worthy phrases like 'leverage' and 'low-hanging fruit'. So I instinctively went into defense-mode and threw on this happy scarf and floral wedges and just destroyed that thought cloud.

|ESA-164 Amalgamated Sugar FINAL PUBLIC REPORT
|Written by USDOE Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
|Friday, 15 July 2011 09:20
ESA-164 Amalgamated Sugar FINAL PUBLIC REPORT:
The Amalgamated Sugar Company's Nampa, Idaho facility processes 12,500 tons of sugar beets per day. The plant produces 20,000 cwt of granulated sugar, 25,000 cwt of thick sugar juice, and 600 tons of dried pulp.
The factory has three coal-fired boilers, one gas-fired boiler, two turbine-generators, and several mechanical drive steam turbines. Process uses of steam include several multi-stage evaporator trains, sugar crystallization pans, numerous heaters, and a new steam pulp dryer. The predominant fuel is coal, although natural gas is the impact fuel for most of the energy savings opportunities during the annual 125-day sugar beet campaign. The plant self-generates most of its electric energy needs with two backpressure turbine generators. The plant imports approximately 2.8 MW (annual average).
Objective of ESA:
The objective of the Energy Savings Assessment (ESA) was to:
Focus of Assessment:
Coal- and gas-fired power boilers, steam turbines, associated steam systems, process uses of steam
Approach for ESA:
The approach of the training assessment was to provide training on DOE Steam Tools suite and use them to identify and analyze potential opportunities.
General Observations of Potential Opportunities:
Annual Energy Consumption:
1 1TBtu=1TeraBtu=1x1012 Btu
Additional Potential Opportunity:
Excess condensate heat recovery – The factory pumps approximately 500 gpm of hot (185 F) excess condensate to a cooling pond. If the factory could find a use for this waste heat, it could recover approximately 25 MMBtu/h in heat and offset approximately 30 MMBtu/h in boiler fuel.
Implementation Considerations:
The potential savings opportunities can be categorized as follows:
Management Support and Comments:
Amalgamated Sugar took a very active interest in the training assessment. They will use the DOE Steam

White & Dark Chocolate
Whether you call them "cake balls" or "truffles," the flavor is the same ... these sweet confections are delicious and festive. I have an ongoing (fatal!) attraction to any variation on red velvet. So I'm going to try
this easy recipe from Bakerella for my family this Christmas.
Bakerella says,
"I first tasted these two years ago at a Christmas party and immediately had to have the recipe. It's based on a mix, but I imagine you can follow the same directions substituting from scratch cake and frosting (I'll try that one day). You can also try it with other cake combinations."
• 1 box red velvet cake mix (bake as directed for 13 x 9 cake)
• 1 (16 oz.) can cream cheese frosting
• 1 package chocolate bark, regular or white chocolate
• wax paper
1. Crumble the cake into a large bowl after it is baked and cooled.
2. Add 1 can of cream cheese frosting and combine thoroughly. (Some cooks find it easier to use their bare hands to mix these two ingredients together. Could be a ton of fun for kids!)
3. Roll cake and cream cheese mixture into balls the size of a quartr and place on a cookie sheet. (Yield should make 45-50.)
4. Chill cake balls for several hours in refrigerator. (Or put them in the freezer to speed up the process.)
5. Melt white or dark chocolate in microwave as directed on the package.
6. Using a spoon, roll balls in the chocolate tapping off the extra. Let them set on wax paper until firm.
7. Decorate with sprinkles or crumbs when balls are still soft, or drip melted chocolate across the them.
Note: Work with only a few pieces of melted chocolate bark at a time.
It's easier to coat the cake balls with when it's hot.

Buffalo And Erie County Greenway Standing Committee To Meet April 25
Rob Daly
March 15, 2012
LEWISTON—The Buffalo and Erie County Greenway Fund Standing Committee will meet on Wednesday, April 25, to announce this year's funding recipients for projects that enhance the Niagara River Greenway in Erie County. Twelve projects were submitted in this round of funding and were reviewed publicly at a meeting in February. The committee has approved 19 projects to date, committing more than $7.9 million to the establishment of the Niagara River Greenway.
The meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Marcy Casino, Hoyt Lake at Delaware Park in Buffalo. The meeting is open to the public. More information on how to submit a project can be found at: http://niagara.nypa.gov/RelicensingGreenwayFunds/BuffaloErieGreenway/BEdefault.htm
The committee is composed of one representative from Erie County, City of Buffalo, Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, and the New York Power Authority (NYPA).
The Buffalo and Erie County Standing Committee receive funds from NYPA as part of a settlement agreement in 2007 related to the 50-year federal license received by NYPA in connection with its operation of the Niagara Power Project. During the term of the license, the Buffalo and Erie County Standing Committee receive $2 million a year.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Free Concert Friday, Sept. 27
Lime Rock Park has organized a free concert the evening of Friday, Sept. 27, showcasing the talents of British blues-jazz-rock guitarist Davy Knowles. The show is 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., to be held in the big concert tent located on Lime Rock's Upper Infield Midway.
The Davy Knowles show is part of the Grand-Am Championship Weekend Presented by BMW, but you don't have to have tickets to the race to see it. People may begin arriving for the show after 5:00 p.m. at the track's main gate, 60 White Hollow Road.
A cash wine-and-beer bar will be open, too.
Knowles, 26, draws his musical influences from Dire Straits, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac founder) and Eric Clapton. Celtic music – Ireland being a figurative hop, skip and a jump away from his Isle of Man birthplace – also tinges his repertoire. Knowles, who has toured recently with Jeff beck and Joe Satriani, has gotten "hot" of late thanks to well-received performances at the South by Southwest Festival, Coachella, Lollapalooza and the Bonnaroo Music Festival.
The Lime Rock show is sponsored by Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Guitars, a marketing partner of Grand-Am.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (203 votes).
In short: Best feature was the cakes at the endDate of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Always a worthwhile challenge.Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: A very, very cold start but worth it for the good scenery and atmosphere1Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Don't be put off by the climb - the way down is worth itIn full: Yep, the 1st 3.5 miles are up hill but are followed by a great cruise downhill for the next 3.5; dig in on the way up and enjoy the rest of an altogether enjoyable race. Drivers were largely very considerate on the long A road sections. Pity some of those leaving didn't treat those still coming up the Loseley Park driveway with quite such respect. As pointed out by many before me, a re-jigged finish would solve this. Thank you GGAC.Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Big hill in the middle, little one at the endIn full: More toilets required at start. Finish area could be planned better. Good marshalling. The Hogs Back ascent wasn't as bad as I imagined. I still can't belief my pace on the descent. The little climb in the last mile was a killer though!Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Nice race, the sum was better than the partsIn full: Enjoyed my first visit to the Hogs back. A bit of a queue for the toilets at the start and a rather subdued atmosphere, but it was very cold. Once the race began, it lived up to it's name and was tough as old boots. Lots of fun and a nice place to finish. Have to agree that it's difficult to get out at the end, but the baggage people were briliant. Not many spectators, but overall a good fun race which is different to most in the areaDate of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Nice run, lucky with the weather!!Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Challenging but funIn full: An excellent run with good marshelling. Could be improved by having a well defined control or similar at start and revised finish. As stated in earlier comment, too many people leaving as runners still finishing down narrow road.Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: Fourth year I've done this race and as well organised as ever. In full: A nice still morning helped the climb up to the half way point. Lovely drop through Compton and a teasing climb in the last mile make for an interesting course. Definately, injury baring!, back for the 50th running next year. Date of review: December 14, 2008
In short: A good eventIn full: About four miles of steady climbing, then a second half that's mostly downhill or flat and fast. Great finishing venue, start venue is very bleak and bare - I reckon a tea wagon would do a good trade. Smoothly organized, very efficient baggage handling, plenty of vocal marshalls, overall a good day out. Date of review: December 14, 2008

Intel Corp. and Dell have both sued Psion Teklogix, the company that claims that it has trademarked the word "netbook", in the U.S. Federal Court and demanded that the court would cancel the registration and allow every computer of microprocessor maker to use it.
Back in December '08 Psion Teklogix, a maker of rugged mobile computers that once made consumer-oriented devices, reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to manufacturers of various small form-factor mobile computers asking them to stop using the term "netbook" as "netBook" is a registered trademark of Psion that was used to market ARM-based computers of sub-notebook size with limited functionality.
At this point of time Psion Teklogix no longer manufactures any netBook-branded computers and the term "netbook" is widely used to describe a presumably inexpensive personal computer that is designed for very basic tasks, such as email reading, Internet browsing and so on. Naturally, neither Intel, which Atom processors power the absolute majority of netbooks, nor Dell, the world's second largest maker of personal computers, want to stop using the term "netbook" as it describes the class of devices just perfectly.
"We think 'netbook' is a generic term used to describe a broad class of computing devices, much like the term 'notebook' or 'ultra-mobile PC'. It is widely used, all over the Internet and more. We are just asking the court to agree with us, that we have a right to continue to use it. Meanwhile, we continue to use it, as do many others," said Bill Calder, a spokesman for Intel.
Dell said in its lawsuit against Psion Teklogix that the latter had not used the netBook brand for over five years and it was not evident that the company would like to resume shipping products under that name; that the term "netbook" had become generic name for small and inexpensive laptop computers; and that Psion Teklogix mislead the U.S. Trademark Office when it prolonged the registration of the netBook trademark in late 2006.
Psion Teklogix has not yet issued any comments on the matter.

Best Practices: A Guide to Practical Database Monitoring
With so much important data at stake, many enterprises have come to realize that database activity monitoring is a critical element of both data and database security. DAM products are a mainstream data security technology, used by more than half of Fortune 500 companies. They help secure information and address compliance requirements in a manner no other product can. But sometimes the practical realities of DAM tools and practices are different than they look in a vendor demonstration. In this report, we take a look at how DAM operates in a live enterprise — what works, what doesn't and how some of the benefits sold to customers are theoretically possible but often impractical.

3. What is the US Department of State doing to help the youth of the world to hope for a better and brighter future for themselves and the world?
Ben in California writes:
Here are some questions for the interview:
1. Why does the U.S. opposed Al-Qaeda and related groups when they are attacking the U.S., but support them when they are attacking Syria, Russia, or the former government of Libya? Has there been any discussion of reconsidering this approach?
2. The government of Saudi Arabia is known to be the chief funding agency for Al-Qaeda and Salafist/Wahhabist militant groups of all kinds. Under the circumstances, why does the U.S. Department of State maintain such friendly relations with the Saudi regime? Did the State Department approve of the decision to extend "trusted traveler" status to Saudi nationals? Why is the 28 page section of the 911 Commission Report which deals with Saudi government support for the 911 hijackers still classified?
Sidney C. in Michigan writes:
Why cannot we develop Public Private Partnerships with collaborators in Less Developed Countries?

Liz in Washington, D.C. writes:
Building buy-in for foreign policy spending during what some call a budget "crisis" is difficult. There are false claims that America spends 20% or more on foreign aid, for example, when in reality the U.S. spends less than 1/2 of 1%. How do you work to dispel myths about the real cost of and the real impact of foreign-spending?

Can the State Dept do something positive coming out of .. Conversations With America: Making Foreign Policy Less Foreign ..about the situation in countries in the Underbelly of the US
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Well we generally think of foreign policy (as conjunct to domestic policy) as being outside our national boarders, when in fact all policy (or politics for that matter) are "local" and thus one has to properly define the notion of "foreign" when trying to engage in common human understanding on the policy level.
So my question to Mr. Hammer is, how do you put policy into "plain speak" rather than "diplo-speak"?
Do you do away with all acronyms for starters, being that most folks probably don't know the difference between an FTO and a FTA?
If a citizen were to ask you (and I'm asking) if what I'm witness to in Syria constitutes genocide on the part of Assad's government? Would you be able to answer that with a definitive "yes" or "no" and eleaborate on how you came to your conclusion logicly, having evolved over time on behalf of this government, by , for, and of its citizens?
Thanks for taking this question, there's nothing "foreign" about what is taking place, we've witnessed it all too often on this planet. Only by defining a common human understanding of it can one hope to put a stop to it.
Jean Claude K. writes:
First question. Talking about the conflict between Israel and the Paslestinians, it is clear that America has notyet been successful in resolving it; are you confident that someday you will be able to resolve it? Second question. What are you planning to do with the many information at your desk concerning the old Jews relocated in Africa Cameroon, and the knowledge that America and no country in the world will be able to solve the Israeli-Palestinians crises without taking into consideration the old Jews in Cameroun, thanks a lot for any attempt to providing responses.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Chris211 Happy 9 year old son I bought this jersey for my son. He really likes it. We washed it and it appears the same. I have bought other jerseys that fell apart after you was them, so it passed that test. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was $50 and not on sale. May 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buckwheat2 ABryant's #24 Replica Jersey It was great. Adding to the Jordan, O'Neal (the ones my son wore when he was a child) jerseys that I had framed for his room. It goes with his autographed shoes of Magic Johnson, original first Michael Jordan (boxed never worn shoes) and other original memorabilia that I was able to acquire when things were better for me financially.

In October 2007, WBGO recorded a studio session with the Nicholas Payton Quintet. The band had just finished a week-long run at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, and they had just recorded the music for Payton's debut on Nonesuch Records, Into the Blue. The record hit stores this week. Check out the studio session on NPR Music. It posted earlier today. Funny how that works....Timing is everything.

Hello there, need a tutorial that explains how to autosave fields of a form with AJAX. Thanks.
Looking forward to the near future I guess I have to ask something. But now I am doing okay.

Actually I am interested in learning ruby as a web programming language. Please suggest me some easy to learn tutorials specifically for ruby web programming.
Many thanks
PS: I am on ubuntu 9.04 with apache 2.2
I was wondering if anyone was interested in writing a tutorial on how to make a basic movie database website like with users that can comment on movies. Possibly also add resources we can look for to add additional features such as:
Star ratings
Autocomplete movie titles
Making the site overall more secure
Optimizing the site's performance
...whatever else would go with something like this.
Another request... if it's possible:
This may sound confusing, but is it possible in Rails to build a very basic app whose on job is to redirect what people type in for that site to something on another site? Here's an example:
Let's just say that a netflix.com URL to a movie is something like netflix.com/search?category=Fantasy&name=Heroes&blahtechnical-stuff
Could you make a really simple app in Rails at say the domain netflixit.com that allows people to just type in like netflixit.com/fantasy/heroes and be instantly directed to the netflix version? So, I guess it has to convert and change the URL, but I don't know how. The website would be pretty much blank. The only thing it would be used for is automatically redirecting to the netflix site. The idea is just to give people an easier way to find something in a database type site if they already know what they are looking for.
It may be really simple, if so, could anyone point me in the right direction as for already made tutorials or something?
EDIT: Another feature it could have would be a counter for every URL it redirects.

1. How to use Git along with Rails
2. How to install plugins with Rails
Rails 3 Dynamic Nested Forms (or a refactoring of the complex-forms railscasts code for Rails 3) would be very helpful.
Hey guys, a want a rails engines tutorial ;}
A rails3 tutorial that guides one through the creation of a model for time calculations.
The format is time_in and time_out with the ability to do a calculation to give one the total hours as an integer. For example:
08:00am to 04:15pm giving one the total hours of 08.25 hours.
The view should show these fields horizontally aligned across the page. And of course, as if I am not asking enough already, as you enter these fields they use unobtrusive javascript and update the view adding row after row in the form with and edit button and a locked button next to each entry.
Ok...I know that I am asking a lot but I willl gladly pay if someone is willing to create such a tutorial.
Thanks for your time and generosity.
I searched on the web and nothing,
please somebody can put here

Is there, an up to date tutorial covering UJS?
I have been looking but so many of them are just snippets, or out of date (different file locations etc, assets vs public etc etc).
Also, how up to date is the tutorial list on this site? I would read through them but it does not appear to have been updated since 2007.
All I am trying to do is have a link button submit with POST data, then update a div with content from a different controllers action.
The tutorials I have read so far either are full of bugs, are out of date, or skip many steps, particularly in choosing what kind of JavaScript approach to use, JQuery, CookieScript, I just cannot find something which explains setting it up, then performing what used to be ridiculously simple tasks in Rails 1.
For the simple things I am trying to do it seems needlessly convoluted, I get the idea of code separation blah blah blah but I am one step away from just writing old fashioned JS myself.
Ruby and Rails that with one click install. Within minutes and install the latest version of Ruby, Rails, GIT, SQLite, etc. It will run up to you.
I'm planning to work on a beginners..

Focus on our roads?
I don't want to complain about our government or our president because that rat's nest will never be solved.
I would just like to request smoother roads for summer. Now that we have up-to-date security systems in all of our schools and fantastic bike trails that the walkers and skateboarders love, can we please focus on our roads?
We just received a million-plus grant for road repairs, so where is this money?
Why do people have to steer into the next lane just to save their vehicle?
I'm so very displeased that our community can spend money on advertisement warning citizens on these terrible pot holes, yet they don't have the money to repair them?
I am so disgusted with how our tax money is divided up and spent in this community. These roads are embarrassing to have tourist drive on, not to mention unsafe.

Living in "paradise" everyday, we are reminded how precious our environment is and how privileged we are to be faithful stewards of that environment. The College's mission statement includes these values, "We are dedicated to scholarship, academic achievement, creative accomplishment, cultural enrichment, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship."
Sustainability has been an active cornerstone of the curriculum since 1986 when the first Sustainable Development class was taught. This class evolved into a Sustainable Development Minor in 1999. Along with the Environmental Studies major, these programs have seen a continued growth in students interest and declaration of this major and minor.
Students began in 1999 to oversee the campus' recycling program which is still active to this date and has renamed itself the Sustainability Program. Under the 'umbrella' of this program, students collaborate with campus departments and student organizations through recycling, fair trade, a campus bicycle program and various events along with policy revisions to make environmental and sustainable changes on campus.
Facilities Management has been working to reduce energy consumption, water usage and many other initiatives for the past 15 years. Their work, along with changes in purchasing policies and dining services, have been significant in the efforts to become a greener, more sustainable campus.

Pulaski (24-4) won its first State boys basketball championship in school history with a 48-40 victory over Wisconsin Lutheran in the Division 2 title game Saturday evening.
The Red Raiders imposed their deliberate style in the first half, limiting possessions with offensive efficiency. They shot 64 percent from the field to take a 21-13 lead into the locker room at the half. Their 1-3-1 defense limited the Vikings to 17 shots and 23 percent shooting through the first two quarters.
Just when Wisconsin Lutheran appeared to be staging a comeback in the third quarter and pull within four points, Pulaski scored seven straight points. Cody Wichmann connected on a 3-pointer and a lay-up off a steal to extend the lead to 11 at the end of the period.
The Red Raiders eliminated any chance of a Vikings comeback victory by connecting on 11-of-14 free throws in the fourth quarter, preventing the Vikings from getting their deficit any lower than five points.
Wichmann led the Red Raiders with 17 points, five rebounds and four assists. Luke VanLanen and Jordan added 13 and 10 points, respectively. Deiondre Cunningham led Wisconsin Lutheran with 19 points.

Hospital Board To Discuss Possible Buyer
The board of directors for the Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York will be discussing a potential buyer for the Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving this week.
Though not commenting specifically on the current potential purchaser, Lake Erie Regional Health System spokesman Scott Butler reiterated on Saturday evening that the group has been looking for a buyer.
Others connected to the hospital also expressed hope for the sale, but said more information is needed.
Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York is currently working in an arrangement with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
On Oct. 16, the Lake Erie Regional Health Board announced the January closing of Lake Shore Hospital. In the news release, it stated 460 jobs would be impacted by the closing.
Lake Shore Health Care Center became part of the Lake Erie Regional Health System in 2008 when it merged with Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk. The merger of the two facilities happened after the Berger Commission recommended the closure of the care center in 2006.
Before the merger, Lake Shore had serious financial issues. And, after a devastating flood in 2009, the facility received federal aid that boosted its bottom line. This year, however, the facility is on track to lose $7 million.
Woes of the facility began in March when former Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Lawrence was removed from the post. Later, in the summer, some 100 layoffs at both Brooks and Lake Shore took place.
Currently, the hospital is slated for closure on Jan. 31.

Minnesota jobs report could be better
The Minnesota Jobs Report for July came out Thursday, and while the numbers look encouraging, they could be better.
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) said the state gained 4,300 jobs in July, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 5.2 percent. That compares favorably with the national unemployment rate of 7.4 percent.
But while overall numbers are up, we'd prefer to see more growth in some of the major categories with higher paying jobs that indicate stronger economic growth. Manufacturing, for instance, saw a loss of jobs, down 1,400. Construction jobs were down 1,700. The big gainer for the month was government, which added 4,000 jobs. Leisure and hospitality were up 1,400 jobs, and financial activities were up 2,300 jobs.
Over the past year, the state has seen an increase of 71,940 jobs, with 55,820 coming in the private sector. The rate of growth is higher than the national rate, according to DEED.
Only one sector of the jobs report showed a loss of jobs, but again, it was a big one, manufacturing.
The figures for July are good, but until manufacturing starts to take off, with more full-time, bettery paying jobs, we aren't ready to say the economy is back on its feet.

NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) — Mauritania's Minister of Communication says President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has been lightly wounded by friendly fire after his vehicle was fired upon by the military on the outskirts of the capital, Nouakchott.
Hamdi Ould Mahjoub said that Aziz was shot in the arm when the military unit opened fire on his convoy. The president was returning from a trip to the desert and the incident occurred 40 kilometers (24 miles) north of the capital.
Mahjoun said the president's life was not in danger. He is being treated at the military hospital in Nouakchott.
It's unclear why the military opened fire on the presidential motorcade Saturday, but reports in local media indicated the military unit had not been told of the president's trip.
Mauritania has been destabilized by an al-Qaida affiliate, which has launched attacks in Mauritania from neighboring Mali.

But what TV technology is best? Which is the best LCD TV? Which screen size is best for your living room? What's the difference between LCD and LED TVs?
The answers aren't always obvious. In fact, buying a new TV can be a stressful experience even for the tech-savvy - there are so many brands, so many features, so many screen sizes, colours, technologies and flavours to choose from.
So which one is right for you, your family and your living space? In this buying guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about buying a new TV.
What types of TV are out there?
TV Guide
14 tips for getting the best picture quality out of your TV
There are a lot of different screen types out there, all working in different ways to produce the same results. Each technology has its own unique strengths and weaknesses so here are some basics to consider:
Until recently, all LCD TVs were backlit by always-on, CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent) lamps. This ageing technology has been superseded by the superior LED method on more expensive sets, but is still standard on some cheaper models.
LED TV: Direct LED
These displays are backlit by an array of LEDs (light emitting diodes) directly behind the screen. This enables localised dimming – meaning immediately adjacent areas of brightness and darkness can be displayed more effectively – and greatly improves contrast. LED TVs are also more power efficient and capable of a wider colour gamut than CCFL sets. Because of the extreme cost of mounting these arrays of LEDs, Direct LED TVs have largely been out muscled by Edge LED...
LED TV: Edge LED
With these TVs, LEDs of the backlight are mounted along the edges of the panel. This arrangement enables radically slender displays and offers superior contrast levels to CCFL, but can't achieve the same picture quality as directly lit LED sets. However, they do come in far cheaper which is why most LED TVs out there now use this technology.
The backlighting on OLED (organic light emitting diode) sets is achieved by passing an electric current through an emissive, electroluminescent film. This technique produces far better colours and higher contrast and also enables screens to be extremely thin and flexible. This is the holy grail display technology and only in 2014 did a bigscreen OLED TV go on sale. So it's brand new, it's expensive and the top brands are still struggling to get their heads around it. To date, only LG has been able to release full sized OLED TVs.
Plasma TV
PDP (plasma display panel) TVs use glass panels containing millions of tiny cells filled with a mixture of inert gases. Electricity excites the gases, causing them to illuminate the pixels across the screen. Plasma, while arguably superior to LCD in terms of contrast and colour accuracy, is only viable on large (42in+) screens and has been dropped by all but a handful of manufacturers. You'll be lucky to find one on the shelves these days.
Curved TV
Some manufacturers are now making TVs that have slightly curved screens. But unlike old CRT TVs, the curve is inwards rather than outwards. The idea is that this makes every pixel equidistant from your eyes, delivering a more satisfying picture. However, there are drawbacks for this type of screen - the main one being that if you sit far enough to one side – more than 40 degrees or so – the curve clearly starts to affect the image's geometry, foreshortening content near to you and compressing the image's centre.
What resolution should I go for?
HD TVs come in two resolutions. Sets with the HD ready are required to be able to display a minimum 720p picture, and generally has a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Meanwhile, full HD TVs have a higher resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. It's highly advisable that you don't go for anything less than full HD in this day and age.
Ultra HD and 4K
The resolution of Ultra HD is exactly four times higher than full HD - 3840 x 2160. It means a far more detailed picture, with content requiring a lot more bandwidth and storage space. 4K TVs tend to be good at upscaling HD video to Ultra HD but there are currently very few options for watching native 4K content.

What kind of tuner do I need?
TVs in the UK come with two types of tuner: DVB-T2 (Freeview HD) and DVB-S (Freesat HD). Some TVs such as many sets from Panasonic have both tuners on board, but most do not. So which should you go for?
Freeview HD
Freeview is the natural successor to the analogue TV signal of old, flying the flag for free-to-air TV through a traditional aerial. So your decision of which tuner to go for could well be decided according to what receiving devices you've already got strapped to your roof. If you've got a traditional TV aerial only, Freeview is the obvious option. Equally, if you're buying a TV for a second room, you might have to rely on a portable aerial which again would make Freeview your best bet.
Freesat HD
Freesat is similar to Freeview in that it's free-to-air, but different in that it's delivered through a satellite dish. Freesat uses the same satellite as Sky HD - the Astra/Eutelsat satellite which sits in the sky at 28.2E. That means if you've got a Sky dish, you can easily plug a Freesat TV or box in without having to move it. Freesat HD is ideal for large living room TVs as it delivers slightly higher quality pictures than Freeview, has fewer problems with signal, and also has a much larger selection of channels both in standard definition and high definition. It'll also likely be the first to carry 4K TV channels when they eventually launch.

Best 32-inch TVs
The perfect size for bedroom TVs or sets for smaller rooms
Most living rooms can't physically take a TV much bigger than 32-inch, making this size by far the best for a lot of people in the UK. But within this size division, there's plenty of choice. A basic HD-ready set can be found for less than £300 is you search hard, though it's just as easy to spend over £2k on the best ones. There's only one certainty at this size – your new TV will be a LCD TV. If you're lucky it could have LED backlighting, but it won't be a plasma; LG used to make plasmas at this size, but there's not one on sale currently.10 best 32-inch TVs in the world today
Best 40 and 42-inch TVs
The sweet spot for plasma TVs offers lots of bang for your buck
Once known simply as 'plasma screens' in the collective consciousness, the 40-42-inch size is where the flatscreen dream started in the late 1990s - and where it's still at its most innovative and best. Now a lot more varied, with plasmas rubbing shoulders with (and quickly being outnumbered by) LCD TVs and their ultra-modern LED TV makeover, 40-42 inches is still the sweetspot for anyone not overly concerned with ruining the interior design of their living room. As well as being the fastest growing sector of the market, this size also offers possibly the best value TVs around. Serious home cinema addicts have moved on to 50-inch and bigger screens, leaving this category a swarm of slashed prices. 10 best 40 and 42-inch TVs
Best 46 and 47-inch TVs
Offering the pinnacle of performance, this is where it gets serious
There was a time when plasma screens reigned supreme in the 46-inch TV market. But in much the same way as a meteor strike killed off the dinosaurs, the second coming of the LCD TV is the invasive species that has done for plasma. We're still huge advocates of plasma on TechRadar, don't get us wrong, but the tech is dying out at this size. Old-school CCFL tech has been replaced by LED backlight scanning and technical wizardry to make LCD tech viable in large sizes. So the majority of TVs in this size bracket are now from the LED side of the wall, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. LED TVs these days are brighter than plasmas, they're thinner and there's a lot more variety on show. So here's our selection of the best 46-inch, 47-inch and now also 48-inch TVs for your perusal.. 10 best 46, 47 and 48-inch TVs
Best 50 and 55-inch TVs
Where the home cinema experience begins
The size where a home cinema turns from dream to reality, it's also at this 50-55-inch TV screen size that 3D starts to become immersive enough to convince and impress. This size, last year dominated by full HD models, is now being overrun by Ultra HD 4K models. While LED tech has gone a long way towards condemning plasma to a role on the outskirts of the TV industry, at 50-inches and above, plasma really comes into its own if you can find one. Most home cinema buffs still swear by plasma, with its cinematic colours and deep blacks making for a real movie-watcher's paradise. But 2014 sees the first batch of 50-inch LED-backlit panels off the production line, a development that further marginalises plasma technology at one of the sizes it previously dominated. If you're looking for a dream movie-watching experience, check out these home cinema beauties. 10 best 50 and 55-inch TVs
Best 60 and 65-inch TVs and above
If you want the best, you'll need to pay the best
If you're feeling extravagant or want to furnish your big living room with a similarly big TV, 60 inches or more of television will certainly make a statement. There are some truly massive TVs available these days, with Ultra HD-toting 84-inch screens such as the LG 84LM960V,Toshiba 84L9300, Sony KD-84X9005A andSamsung UE85S9ST. But for most of us, 65 inches of screen space is luxurious enough, while still being manageable. Gone are the days when the over-60s were mere monitors; expect to find all the niceties a good living room-ready TV should have, such as Freeview HD tuners, perhaps even Freesat HD tuners, too, plus smart TV apps and 3D compatibility. There's a smattering of plasmas here - it's the size category where the original flatscreen TV tech truly excels. But as plasma fades, the real story in this category is the rise of the 4K LCD. So what's the best 60-65-inch TV for you? 10 best 60 and 65-inch TVs in the world today
Best 4K Ultra HD TVs
The latest big thing in big screens
Everyone wants an Ultra HD 4K TV! Yes, okay, we all know there isn't much 4K source material to properly showcase the stunning picture quality, but Netflix has at least started to offer 4K content. There could also still be a 4K Blu-ray format later this year, and before you know it there'll be test transmissions and perhaps even a 4K TV channel from Sky or the BBC. It's all about future-proofing, though there's slightly more to it than that; some of the first batch of Ultra HD TVs pump out best-ever Blu-ray images, thanks to some wonderfully adept upscaling tech. The birth of 4K could also lead to the re-birth of 3D – it just looks so much better at this higher resolution. The big stumbling block – as always – is money, but already there are relative bargains to be had and, better still, some sumptuous designs stuffed with new innovations. The race for 3840x2160 pixels is on. 10 best 4K TVs in the world today

What if this happened at Sandy Hook?
Breaking news: An auto traveling at high speed slams into children waiting to board school buses at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Multiple casualties are reported.
Update: Police report that 20 first grade students are dead. Six teachers including the principal are also deceased as well as the driver of the car who went on to strike the school itself.
Update: The driver of the auto has been identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. When police entered the home of the deceased they discovered the body of his mother who had been bludgeoned to death with an aluminum baseball bat, presumably while she slept.
Update: People familiar with the suspect say he was a troubled young man, a loner with mental health problems.
Update: As grieving families and the country struggle to make sense of this tragedy, the media is crying out for more controls on automobiles and their drivers. Some have said the founding fathers could never had envisioned today's powerful vehicles when they guaranteed our natural right to travel, outlined in the Bill of Rights. Some 45,000 people die every year as a result of vehicles and that has to stop, they cry.
Update: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has promised to end the carnage with new laws limiting the power of automobiles. He wants a halt to sales of any high powered automobiles in New York. Existing automobiles must be limited to two cylinders instead of four, six or eight. No auto can travel faster than a horse at full gallop, about 30 miles per hour. Cars that look sporty must be registered with the state or they will be confiscated and the drivers charged with a felony. Owners of sporty looking cars must have their licenses renewed every five years. Such licenses will be subject to revocation for the slightest misstep.
Update: Children who have written to President Obama with their concerns about these dangerous cars are invited to surround him as he outlines his plan to prevent these kinds of tragedies. The media praises him for caring so much and taking such positive action in face of strong opposition from the auto lobby.
Somehow I don't think we would see this kind of reaction if the killing was done with a car. Instead we would be concentrating our efforts on why some people are becoming so violent and where they get their ideas for mass murder from. I'm sure they didn't learn it in Sunday School. The dangerous mentally ill used to be kept and cared for in institutions. Now they're just given some pills and left to sulk around in our midst where no one pays attention until it's too late.

Comments about Learning Resources Where is Howie's Owie?™:
Learning Resources offers a fantastic selection of toys that will delight your children. Where is Howie's Owie? is no exception. This toy is simple, but has entertained my son for countless hours.One side is magnetic, you make a owie on Howie with a dry erase marker and your child identifies the owie and places a magnetic bandage on it. The opposite side is not magnetic, but you can use a dry erase marker on it too. It has lines for easy labeling of body parts. I liked that this toy helps to build vocabulary and it helps children with body awareness. My son also likes to draw on Howie with dry erase markers whenever the opportunity arises.I think this is a great toy for any preschool age child. It combines fun and education, it is durable which is important. My son can be rough with his toys, this sturdy easel has held up well with daily play. I would recommend considering any toy from Learning Resources this holiday season for the special children on your shopping list.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Speech Therapy POV
By SLPjenna
from Ohio
Where is Howie's Owie? is a fun activity that will target expressive and receptive language targets. The item comes with a two sided easel stand. One side is magnetic and has Howie on the beach, the other side has lines drawn for labeling Howie! The easel comes with colorful magnetic bandages, enough to give Howie 20 Owies! There are many learning targets that Howie lends himself to in the speech room. My preschool student and I worked on vocabulary and following 1 and 2 step directions with temporal and conditional directions. I even snuck in some concepts such as 'top, middle, bottom, under, next to, between, corner.' We developed simple sentences for /k/ carryover and said 'Doctor fix ___' for each band aid we added to poor Howie! We answered WH questions while we added band aids too ( ie: "Where is the purple band aid?") Lastly we targeted some basic inferencing skills. The second time we applied Howie's band aids, I gave clues and scenarios and the child had to decide where the band aid should go. For example, 'Howie tried to catch a a bumble bee in his hands! Ouch! Where is Howie's Owie?'During a literacy group we used Howie at circle time to work on Phonological Awareness skills. Each student added a band aid to a body part. Then they name that body part, a word that rhymed with it, the initial and final sound in their body part, and how many syllables that word contained. I can't wait to use Howie in our Health and 5 Senses week next year during preschool! Speech Room News was provided a copy of this product for review. No other compensation was provided.
Great Educational Fun for Little Ones
By MyFourMonkeys
from Richmond, VA
Where is Howie's Owie? is a super cute learning tool for helping your little ones develop body awareness, vocabulary, and even reinforcing colors. It's a table-top easel board with the picture of a little boy in swimming trunks on both sides. One side is magnetic and both sides are able to be written on with dry erase markers and wiped off (markers not included).The back of the board even has lines on it for labeling the body parts. We're talking simple body parts like elbows and knees, eyes, ears, and all those general parts that preschoolers need to know. Our favorite part of the Where is Howie's Owie? board are the 20 magnetic bandages! They are so cute, durable (made from nice thick magnet sheet), are in a variety of bright cold colors, and come in two sizes - a small square, and normal bandage shape.My three year old really loves his Where is Howie's Owie? board. It's been great fun reinforcing body awareness, and even learning a few new body parts that he was a bit confused on. He kept calling elbows 'knees', but thanks to Howie, he now confidently names all the body parts well. Since he knew most of the main parts, we've tried to focus on things like the chin, neck, cheeks, and lips, and the Where is Howie's Owie? board makes it super easy. Plus, we play fun games like `guess which body part I'm thinking of', and incorporate colors as well by asking him to do things like `place the green bandage on Howie's belly button.' The board also includes an activity guide for parents with several great ideas for using the board with your child(ren).The Where is Howie's Owie? board folds flat to store which is great for space saving!*I received this product free of charge for the purpose of this review.*
A Fun Way To Learn Body Parts
By Dragonfly Sweetnest
from South Webster, OH
When I received the 'Where Is Howie's Owie?' I knew right away that my kids would have so much fun playing with this and also learn at the same time. Since my little girl knows all of her body parts except a few like forearm or shin I knew this would be good for her. My little boy also knows all of his main body parts except when it comes to his elbows, wrists or ankles. I could tell from the start that this would really help him achieve the next level in learning body parts.The set up of 'Where Is Howie's Owie?' was very easy. All I had to do was pop open the stand and set it on the floor, then pop out the magnet bandages. Also, required is a dry erase marker and cloth which aren't included but are common enough to not be an annoyance.The image of Howie is very kid friendly for young kids. I love how on one side the board is magnetic so the magnetic bandages stick to the board with ease. They do connect very well, the bandages don't slide down, which I have seen with other magnetic toys. On this side you can ask your kids different questions like "Howie, got hurt on his chin. Where is his chin at?" You can also tell them to use a certain color bandage, this allows them to practice their colors as well.On the other side it is not magnetic but, you can use a dry erase marker on it. There are lines down both sides that you can write on and put a line to the spot you are talking about. This side is really nice to help teach the body parts without playing a game. I found this side to be very helpful with my eight year old. I would ask here where the shoulder was and have her write it on a line and draw a line to it. There are several different ways you can have your kids interact with 'Where Is Howie's Owie?'. I am sure your family will find this product as much fun as our family did.

About the Author: Ertharin Cousin serves as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies in Rome.
As the sun sets and the prayer calls ring out, I wrap up the day in Jijiga, Ethiopia, just 65 kilometers from the border with Somalia. Camels walk gracefully across a horizon dotted with temporary dwellings of the pastoralists who make their home in this area. I am here on the first stop of a five-day journey that will take me and a few embedded reporters from Europe and Africa through the easternmost region of Ethiopia and then to northern Tanzania.
As the newly-arrived Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies in Rome, I am on my first overseas trip to observe how the UN food and agriculture organizations help reduce hunger in rural communities and how their expertise can be brought to bear for more sustainable agricultural growth.
In Jijiga, livestock are the lifeblood of the community. Wealth is measured in the number of cattle, sheep, goats, and camel an individual owns. Members of this community are working hard to manage these precious assets by attending Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)-supported training to better monitor and report on animal disease and through selling their wares at an active livestock market built with USAID funding.
I was taken by surprise by the gratitude expressed to me for U.S. assistance here in this Muslim-majority region which borders Somalia. Thanks came from women my age that did not attend school but assured me that both their sons and their daughters are in school today. Appreciation flowed during conversations with female entrepreneurs who run make-shift coffee and tea "cafes" at the livestock market.
In terms of clear measurable impact, the most impressive program I learned about in detail today was the World Food Program's (WFP) Hubs and Spokes delivery system. It is a shining example of successful partnerships that the UN nurtures with the local community. Joint committees of federal, regional, local, and military reps plus WFP field staff at the "hubs" make for more efficient food assistance delivery and distribution through the "spokes."
Check back tomorrow for more snapshots of this fascinating region and its resilient people.

Intel Corp. on Wednesday said that it joined Linux foundation and LiMo foundation in support of Tizen, a new Linux-based open source software platform for multiple device categories. While Intel does support a number of open-source Linux-based projects, the current project signals Intel's drop of MeeGo operating system.
"Tizen builds upon the strengths of both LiMo and MeeGo and Intel will be working with our MeeGo partners to help them transition to Tizen. The initial release of Tizen is expected in Q1 2012, enabling the first devices in the market mid-2012," a statement by Intel reads.
Tizen is a standards-based, cross-architecture software platform, which supports multiple device categories including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
Tizen combines the open-source technologies from LiMo and the Linux foundation and adds a robust and flexible standards-based HTML5 and WAC web development environment within which device-independent applications can be produced efficiently for unconstrained cross-platform deployment. This approach leverages the robustness and flexibility of HTML5 which is rapidly emerging as a preferred application environment for mobile applications and the broad carrier support of the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC).
Intel believes that HTML5-based applications will eventually be more widespread and competitive that programs designed for particular eco-systems, such as Apple iOS or Google Android.
"We believe the future belongs to HTML5-based applications, outside of a relatively small percentage of apps, and we are firmly convinced that our investment needs to shift toward HTML5. Shifting to HTML5 doesn't just mean slapping a web runtime on an existing Linux, even one aimed at mobile, as MeeGo has been. Emphasizing HTML5 means that APIs not visible to HTML5 programmers need not be as rigid, and can evolve with platform technology and can vary by market segment," said Imad Sousou, director of Intel open source technology center, who helped to develop Moblin and MeeGo platforms.
Intel's support for MeeGo has been bumpy from day one. Firstly, the MeeGo was chosen in favour of the company's own Moblin platform in a bid to have the same operating system with Nokia, at the time the No.1 maker of mobile phones and smartphones in the world. Unfortunately, Nokia itself decided to ditch MeeGo in favour of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone, which essentially killed all the benefits for MeeGo. As a result, it now makes a great sense for Intel to support "universal" Tizen hoping that Apple and Google will also support HTML5 apps.

Citizens says it's ready for the task
Its chairman says the insurer can cut rates and still expand its role in the market.
By Tom Zucco
Published January 23, 2007
They will need to add hundreds of employees at a sizable cost and convince them they will have jobs for more than a year. And the companies they will compete against insist nothing good can come out of an expansion.
But the chairman of Citizens Property Insurance thinks his people can manage the growing pains the agency will feel this year as a result of legislation passed Monday.
The state-backed property insurer of last resort is being told to do something asked of no other insurer in the state - juggle a rate decrease as it expands its role in the market.
But Citizens says it can do that.
"What I see coming out of this is really good," Citizens board chairman Bruce Douglas said Monday. "It gives us an opportunity to help stabilize the market and reduce rates, at least temporarily."
And while House Speaker Marco Rubio referred this week to Citizens as "the worst insurance company" because of its poor customer-service record in the past, Douglas promised to throw everything he had at the problem.
"We'll educate our 8,500 agents," Douglas said, "and we're sending letters out to the agents clearly stating what it means to them."
Citizens was created as a last-ditch insurer for those who couldn't find property coverage in the open market. The ideal scenario: Private insurers would be enticed by bonuses to take policies so Citizens would shrink as small as possible. Now, pending approval of a business plan by regulators, the Legislature is institutionalizing Citizens with a broader mission.
Still uncertain is how many employees Citizens will have to add to its 750-worker base and the cost.
How the new law that allows Citizens to compete with the private market and take in new lines of coverage will affect the state market as a whole depends on which side of the fence you're on.
For the most part, Citizens officials and consumer groups like it; the private market doesn't.
"When you have the campaign rhetoric we had of lowered premiums, it makes it difficult to reach the end result," said Jeff Brewer, a spokesman for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
"This (legislation) does not solve the problem of the Florida homeowners market. We didn't have any storms in 2006, and that gave insurers the opportunity to start to recover from the 2004-2005 seasons. It takes a number of years to rebuild our capital."
It has been a tough pill for most legislators as well. Broadening Citizens' base is something they've opposed adamantly for years. The state wants private companies, not Citizens, to be the big player in Florida.
But lawmakers are caught between the philosophy that Citizens should be shrinking, and the reality that it's now the largest property insurer in the state and is growing at a rate of about 50,000 policies a month.
To some, allowing Citizens to compete is simply an extension of the free market.
"I believe (the private market) will expand to the extent it chooses to," said Sen. Jeff Atwater, R-North Palm Beach. "What we're doing is placing the consumer in the position to challenge the private market carrier. To say, 'Take me back, but take me fairly.' "
Others take the notion further.
"I think it's a positive step because up until now, the Legislature has been giving away the store to the industry," said Bob Hunter, insurance expert for the Consumer Federation of America.

Comic books are great, but the question this article poses is: "Do comic books innovate and improve reading habits for children, --do they lead to more enriching material?" I like the idea, but unfortunately, I cannot side with the idea that comic books improve the reading habits of children.
The digital generation is upon us, and video is king. Comic books are not going to pull young readers into books without pictures, --they're just a cop-out for trying to get kids to read more. There are illustrated classics already in existence, --and as cool as it is that Marvel is converting classic literature into graphic novels, is it possible that instead of introducing classical literature, we're just introducing kids to comics?
