MSC's newest Wi-Fi Module from H&D Wireless AB ideally made for Home Control
MSC Technologies is presenting H&D Wireless AB (Sweden) newest WLAN-Module HDG820 for 802.11.b/g/n. It is incorporating a complete IP protocol set running on an internal ARM Cortex core.
The HDG820 SiP-Module including the Controller, WLAN transceiver and Memory is delivered in an extremely small SMD package of 8x 8x 1,2 mm3. It can be controlled via UART / SPI which is also the interface for data transfer. With a power consumption of max. 220 mA and 250 µA in Sleep mode and an RF performance of +17dbm in Tx and -96dBm in Rx, it is fulfilling all requirements for typical building and home applications, like heating control, white goods and more. Extended temperature of -40 to +85 C is making it an ideal platform for Wi-Fi enabled sensors in industrial applications. In addition to the compact size only very few components need to be added to the BOM list, e.g. antenna and capacitors, which is generating a competitive Total-Cost-of-Ownership. The HDG820 module is pre-certified for CE and FCC and of course Wi-Fi certified.
But even more interesting is the list of supported software features. Protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP and more as well as features like Soft-Access Point, Wi-Fi Direct and also security features like WPA are available and fully integrated. The Pico oWL™ API is designed to be compiled and executed on multiple processor platforms from 8 bit to 32bit and makes configuration really easy also enabling full control of the module. Even a Linux design environment exist, if that is preferred.
Furthermore the Griffin™ Software also delivered by H&D Wireless is supporting full Cloud computing capabilities and easy APP integration is available due to reference App's provided. Of course all software features like "pico Owl" and APP support are available for free.
Development Kits and demo Applications and of course the modules itself are available at MSC Technologies.

The project B4 examines the physical decomposition processes during machining of the inhomogeneous multi-phase material concrete with diamond tools. An improved understanding of the chip removal process will be obtained by differentiated examination of the single components and different phase boundaries of concrete. Due to the large number of influencing parameters, models of the process behaviour are developed using statistical design of experiments. By this, an optimisation of wear behaviour and the material removal rate can be facilitated by adapted tools and process parameters.

NEMHS Asks Residents To Complete Vital Mail Survey
Written by Jaimee Green
Community members in Wolf Point and Poplar will receive a survey form in their mailbox this week from Northeast Montana Health Services. The public is being asked to take the time to complete the survey in an effort to improve their access to quality local healthcare. Survey responses will be a guide toward determining new services and programs offered by NEMHS.
Those who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for a $250 Visa card.
The Community Benefit Survey is a federally mandated assessment survey that must take place every three years to ensure NEMHS is able to continue providing health care services as a designated 501(c)(3) organization.
By completing the survey, residents are helping NEMHS recognize local health care concerns and determine what services the community would like to see provided locally.
"We understand that people are very busy, but it is vital we receive a high return rate on these surveys or we will have to repeat this entire process. We want residents to be active participants in their health care and part of that process includes assisting us with knowing what services is a priority to them," said Peg Norgaard, CEO, NEMHS.
The survey has been mailed to a random sample of residences throughout Poplar and Wolf Point and will help NEMHS identify the health services needed in the community. This information will be used for strategic planning, grant applications, new programs and by community groups interested in addressing health issues.
The survey will help the NEMHS governing board prioritize assets. One of their most recent priorities has been the purchase of a 4D-Echocardiogram machine which will allow healthcare providers to detect certain cancers and monitor heart conditions.
Survey results will also help determine future medical equipment purchases.
"While obviously there are some services, such as brain or heart surgery, we will likely never be able to provide, this survey is a great opportunity for community members to voice their opinions on services they want that we can provide for. It also gives us an opportunity to explain why some services are simply not possible," Norgaard said.
The assessment process promotes health care as a local affair. Quality health care delivered in rural areas is necessary to the good health of the entire community. Citizens in Poplar and Wolf Point can take responsibility for the health of their community by completing the survey they receive in their mailbox.
"Most communities face complex issues in providing quality health care to their rural citizens. Survey responses will help NEMHS engage in effective problem solving, which is the most important factor in the survival of rural health care services," said Tina Strauser, community relations director for NEMHS.
Residents who return a completed survey in the pre-stamped envelope provided will automatically be entered into a drawing for a $250 VISA card from NEMHS through Independence Bank. The drawing winner will be announced Dec. 20 through local media and contacted personally.
The National Rural Health Resource Center in Duluth, Minn., is assisting NEMHS in the analysis of local needs, use of local health care services and overall community health. This process was developed to maintain quality health care to serve the continuing and future needs of the area.
Surveys must be mailed to the National Rural Health Resource Center by Dec. 17.
For more information, contact Strauser at 768-6113.

Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery | Dick Honig (of 1961 and '62 U-M team)
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Wilpon Complex)
Score: Minnesota 4, Michigan 1
Records: U-M (15-29, 6-10 Big Ten), Minnesota (17-18, 9-7 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, May 7 -- vs. Minnesota (Wilpon Complex), 1 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Despite six strikeouts and 7.2 innings of work from junior Brandon Sinnery (Worcester, Mass./Worcester Academy), the University of Michigan baseball team fell to Minnesota, 4-1, in the first game of a three-game Big Ten set on Friday night (May 6) at the Wilpon Complex, home of Ray Fisher Stadium. The game was televised on the Big Ten Network.
Minnesota posted the first run of the game in the third inning, but Michigan came right back with a run in the bottom of the third. Sophomore Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child) walked and moved to third on a single from redshirt sophomore Kevin Krantz (Traverse City, Mich./Central). Biondi then scored on a squeeze bunt from freshman Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty), tying the game, 1-1.
The Golden Gophers scored the eventual game-winning runs in the fourth on a two-run shot over the brick wall in leftfield.
Both pitchers kept the offenses in check. Sinnery allowed eight hits and three earned runs with two walks and those six strikeouts, while Minnesota's TJ Oakes gave up just four hits and a run with three strikeouts and a walk in 6.2 innings of work.
Minnesota added an insurance run in the eighth for the 4-1 final.
Tom Windle went the last 2.1 innings for the Golden Gophers, allowing a hit and striking out a batter to pick up his first save.
Before the game, the 1961 and '62 teams were honored on the field. The teams were in town for a reunion and John Kerr (1960-62) threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the contest.
The two teams will match up Saturday afternoon (May 7) at 1 p.m. It is Military Appreciation Weekend at the Wilpon Complex. All military personnel -- active military and veterans -- and their families will receive free general admission seating while supplies last. Fans will just need to show their military ID at the Wilpon Complex ticket office.

Winter Clothing in High Demand
With temperatures that have yet to reach 60 degrees this year, many Floridians have had to expand their normal winter wardrobe. However, finding proper winter clothes isn't necessarily easy.
Beth Parrish thought she would be safe giving away her warm clothes as she headed south to a warmer climate, but now she wishes she had kept some of her North Carolina clothing. The selection of coats, hats, and gloves at Belk in The Oak's Mall is slim. "When we left North Carolina I gave away all of my Cuddle-Duds, I gave away all of my gloves, I gave away all of my warm slippers..."
Belk Management says items that are not normally fast sellers are now in high demand. They are expecting Woman's Coats and Men's Gloves to be sold out within the next few days. One manager says the last time Belk sold out of outwear was more than twenty years ago.

Taco Bell Rolls Out Protein-Heavy Menu For Gym Enthusiasts
Fast food chain attempts to offer healthier options for its fitness fanatic customers.
Taco Bell has never been the healthiest fast food option but it seems the chain is trying to turn things around. The chain is set to debut a new menu called "Power Protein" that will be aimed at their most enthusiastic demographic: young men.
Summer is a time when many people try to achieve and maintain their beach bodies, and a high-protein low carb diet combined with frequent exercise has proven to provide beneficial results. Creating gym-friendly fast food could see the creation of a new customer base for the brand.
Even though the menu will be packed with protein, it doesn't actually make use of any new ingredients. The burritos and bowls will have the option for double portions of chicken or steak, as well as toppings such as corn, guacamole or reduced fat sour cream.
The burritos and bowls have more than 20 grams of protein and less than 450 calories; they cost between $3.59 and $5.19 depending on whether they feature steak or chicken.
Taco Bell plans to start their tests from July 25 at about 40 locations in Dayton, Ohio.

sorry for your problems. that's way my dog is an out side dog.
About 20 years ago I had a Doberman that could open any door in the house if it wasn't locked. He never messed with my things but my ex-wife, and the kids things were fair game if he felt neglected or was mad at them about something . He'd find a piece of thier clothing and chew it up. He got the ex's fur coat out of the closet and destroyed it.
I sure do miss that dog.
Dogs are always full of suprises.
Gary, you are a class act.

His cheeks bright red, his chin wet with spittle, the Helot would weave and stagger and totter until he passed out in the dirt.
Just at the moment of starting a Helot approached him with a small roll directed to "Zeuxis, the unrivaled painter of Greece."
Still the Helot had in him the common sentiments of our nature.
Celeste insensibly fell into a passive attitude, and became what Brigitte wanted her,—a Helot.
From the king to the Helot 143, the spirit of covetousness spread like a disease.
His Helot has unlocked the world behind appearance and made him free of the Spirits of Natural Fact who abide there.
Paragot did not include my seeing him make a Helot of himself as part of my education.
This is not the middle ages; I am an Englishman, not a Helot.
But this was a rare spark of self-respect on the part of the Helot.
We have likened the Norman to the Spartan, and, most of all, he was like him in his scorn of the Helot.

The 29-year-old former Open champion, who missed out on a second major at Augusta when he lost a play-off to American Bubba Watson at Augusta, finished 17 under par at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club - three shots ahead of Scotland's Stephen Gallacher.
Oosthuizen had admitted that the 30-hour journey from Georgia had made things tough, but he coped admirably with the jet-lag this week and carded four sub-70 rounds. He completed his third round (69) earlier on Sunday after storms prevented him from doing so on Saturday, before keeping his cool to post a final-round four-under 68.
The victory lifted Oosthuizen to second place in the European Tour Race to Dubai behind US Open champion Rory McIlroy.
Oosthuizen held a one-shot lead overnight and began the day by producing a steady level-par end to his third round - bogeying 13 before gaining the shot back on 16.
Gallacher briefly joined the leader with birdies on 15 and 16 but a bogey on 17 ensured it was Oosthuizen who led going into the final round.
Oosthuizen continued where he left off as he sought a fifth European Tour crown, and birdies on three and five gave him daylight over Gallacher.
His third bogey of the week at the sixth hole set him back, but he responded superbly. He kept his cool to sink testing putts for birdie on seven and 13 and then made the most of a slice of luck in narrowly avoiding the water on 16 to pick up another shot there and open up a comfortable cushion.
Gallacher remained the nearest challenger throughout and signed off with a bogey-free final round of 70, but could not close the gap.
England's Danny Willett (71), Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello (71) and American David Lipsky (70) were tied for third on 12 under.

LumberKings rule over Wisconsin
Clinton tops Rattlers 3-1
By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | July 26, 2013 7:53 PM ET
GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Clinton LumberKings defeated the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 3-1 on Friday night at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Tyler Pike allowed three hits over six scoreless innings and the LumberKings scratched out single runs in the fourth, seventh, and eighth to beat Wisconsin.
Clinton (49-53 overall, 16-17 second half) scored a run in the top of the fourth without a hit. DJ Peterson walked to start the inning and went to second on a wild pitch. A slow grounder up the third base line got him to third base. Gaby Guerrero drove in Peterson with a ground out to third.
Wisconsin (42-56, 13-20) did threaten in the bottom of the sixth. Pike got the first two outs of the inning. But, Mike Garza and Parker Berberet followed with singles. Pike escaped the inning with a strikeout. He ended his six innings with five strikeouts.
The LumberKings added a run in the top of the seventh. Tim Lopes doubled to start the inning. A single by Ketel Marte drove in Lopes for a 2-0 lead. Lopes added a run scoring fielder's choice in the top of the eighth to drive in Gaby Guerrero for a 3-0 lead.
Tyler Roberts doubled to start the Wisconsin ninth inning against Oliver Garcia. Roberts was the first Rattlers batter to leadoff an inning by getting on base. Roberts was still at second base with two outs. Then, Chris McFarland singled to right to knock in Roberts to help Wisconsin avoid the shutout and bring the tying run to the plate. Tyrone Taylor hit it hard, but right at the centerfielder to end the game.
The loss knocked the Timber Rattlers to a season low of fourteen games under .500.
The Timber Rattlers begin a three game series with the Burlington Bees on Saturday night at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Jorge Lopez (4-6, 5.54) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Burlington sends Nic DellaTorre (0-3, 6.30) to the mound. Game time is 6:35pm.
Saturday night is the Super Ropes Candy Bonanza at the ballpark. What is the Super Ropes Candy Bonanza? You'll have to attend to find out, but as a tease, there are candy surprises during the game. Plus, the Super Ropes Beach in right-center features a Sand Castle Building Contest with the winner receiving a one-year supply of Super Ropes!
Also, Fly Away Saturday means one lucky fan will win airfare for two from Funjet Vacations and Fox World Travel at this game. The evening wraps up when FOX 11 presents a postgame fireworks display!

Want to sell original British PIAT(projector infantry anti-tank), 95% complete with around 75-80% of the original paint. It was de-milled at some point by removing the main driver spring and cutting the connector rod that links the buttplate to the bolt. In overall good shape,inside is spotless, outside has some patches of surface rust from storage. I aquired an original main driver spring, and had gone as far as making a print of connecting/cocking tube from a complete unit, but was one of those projects I just couldn't get to. Everything else is all there and I'm also including an original de-milled bomb that is filled with plaster of paris. The cocking tube is probably a 5 hour job or less for a skilled machinist.
Pictures on request.
ATF removed the PIAT from the NFA list years ago, and it is not considered anything(other than a paper weight), great for the reenactor or collector.
Asking $1000, and am flexible on the shipping

What Would You Like To Do?
If you've been searching for an effective anti-ageing product that is totally safe, then you know how frustrating the process can be. Well, not anymore and that's according to the manufacturers of Instantly Ageless.
Simply put, instantly ageless is an innovative anti-wrinkle cream, which promises to decrease aging in 2 to 3 minutes. Sounding perplexed? Well believe or not, the product is clinically engineered to actually produce results in the shortest time possible. While other products can take weeks or months to work, the product shortens the anti-aging curve by producing results quickly and more importantly safely.
How Instantly Ageless™ works?
The manufacturers of this revolutionary of this product have been hailed as true visionaries. This is because the product is an actual alternative for people, who would otherwise go the cosmetic surgery route to reduce the aging process.
The product basically works by naturally tightening the skin, smoothing out lines and wrinkles in order to make your looks youthful. Additionally, the cream is also effective as a skin lightening agent, a feature that helps diminish dark circles and hyperpigmentation.
When I heard of the product, I was very weary initially, but got convinced because of the positive reviews the product was receiving online. To cut the story short i finally purchased the product and got the opportunity to try it out. I was amazed how it works because in 2 to 4 minutes my aging face was transformed in an amazing way. Additionally, the cream improved my skin texture tremendously probably because of its powerful moisturizing ability.
Anti Ageing Cream Instant Impact
To say the least, I was totally amazed how the cream worked, because it transformed my whole face by tightening my totally sagging skin I a short time.
What's even more amazing is that the changes were instant as I could feel my face rejuvenated again after applying the cream on my face. Aside from sagging skin, I've been battling aging issues such as dark circles around my eyes and dry skin.
The product helped me get rid of dark circles around my eyes, something I will always be grateful for. While aging is a natural process, acquiring the ideal self-image is totally possible with science. In summary, the formulated cream was able to sort me out and as result I avoided cosmetic surgery which would have cost more.
Is Instantly Ageless™ Safe
It's an unbelievable product and is available through Instantly Ageless UK official distributor Bodyago. It produces astounding results yet it's very safe to use. The moment I applied the cream on my face, I was scared of the results because of how quick they would occur. What will happen to me now? I asked myself many questions that I could not answer. Luckily, I was assured of quality after browsing through the official website and learning how the product works.
Eventually, I was able to muster courage and use the product without any problems, so I can confidently confirm that it is safe and effective. Additionally, I've been using the product of late and am a happy to report there are no negative side effects for using the formula. But don't take my words for it, go to their website and learn more, before making your purchasing decision.
Fragrance Free
I was also impressed by ageless fragrance free formulation. The cream doesn't have any fragrances meaning that you transform your face without worrying about how you smell. Additionally, fragrances are known to react and damage the skin.
Instantly Ageless UK Customer testimonials
Without customer testimonials of Instantly Ageless, it would be hard to believe the effectiveness of any product. Luckily, the cream manufacturers have numerous positive reviews on their site and other online review sites. I too was skeptical initially like anybody would be, but I decided to try it out and the product worked miraculously. In the end, it is very important to do enough research about any anti- aging product in the market first, before opening your purse strings.
Available From Distributors & On Line
Aside from being available online, I was amazed to find out that I could actually buy the product directly from official Jeauness Instantly Ageless UK distributors. While most products similar to ageless anti-wrinkle cream can be bought exclusively online, the product availability offline was a game changer for me. This meant that I could trust the manufacturers of the product even more.
Where to buy Instantly Ageless UK
As mentioned earlier, the product can either be ordered online or from distributors. I logged on to their websites and found a ton of information on how the cream works from articles to videos. What I can recommend as a user of the product is that you must make sure that you purchase the product on the official website if you do decide to conduct your business online. This is because getting scammed by websites purporting to sell the same product could happen to you, if you are not careful. I also checked their shipping schedule and was impressed how easy their logistical arm works.
Instantly Ageless UK – Conclusion
I never vouch for products that do not work. For instance, I would never promote a product if it did not work for me. Simply put, the moment I applied this anti ageing cream on my face, is the time everything changed for me. In a nutshell, I felt my skin tighter and smoother and to my amazement my rather sagging skin was transformed a beautiful piece of work. Suddenly, I felt more confident and youthful, again all because of instantly ageless UK. I would recommend the cream to people looking to decrease aging in a more natural and safe way.

Published on 15 November 2012
An international team of researchers has unravelled the genetic code of the domestic pig and the wild boars from which they are descended.
The genome (or complete set of genetic material) of a single Duroc female pig was sequenced and compared to genome sequences for wild boar from Europe and China and to the genome sequences of several other domesticated pigs.
The study shed light on the evolution of pigs. As in other species genes involved in immune responses are amongst the genes showing rapid evolution. The pig genome was also revealed to contain the largest repertoire of functional olfactory receptor genes amongst the mammals whose genomes have been sequenced. A sense of smell is evidently important to this scavenging animal.
The research, published in the journal Nature, confirmed that pigs have a similar number of protein-coding genes (~21,500) to other mammals, including humans, mice and cows. In a separate study published as a companion paper in BMC Biology, Roslin scientists have examined the expression of these genes in over 40 different tissues and cell types.
The comparison of the genomes of several individual pigs and the comparison of the pig genome to the human genome revealed several possible disease-causing genetic variants that extend the potential of the pig as a biomedical model.
The research was conducted under the auspices of the Swine Genome Sequencing Consortium and led by scientists at The Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the University of Illinois in the United States.
"The greater understanding of the genetic control of economically important traits that will be enabled by the genome sequence is likely to translate into accelerated genetic improvement in pigs"
Professor Alan Archibald
The study involved more than 40 institutions in 12 countries and was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, the European Commission, and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and The Wellcome Trust.
The research also received funding from pig industry groups in Europe and the United States. Professor Alan Archibald said "The pig industry has a track record of effective exploitation of new knowledge and technologies. The greater understanding of the genetic control of economically important traits that will be enabled by the genome sequence is likely to translate into accelerated genetic improvement in pigs".

Customers would be able to see how much tax companies pay – under a rule proposed by Labour.
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said the move would shame giants such as Starbucks and Amazon into curbing their avoidance, the Sunday People reported.
Companies reveal their outgoings in regular reports but they are complicated and packed with accountancy jargon.
The new rule would make them also provide one figure of how much they give to the nation – a total of corporation tax, national insurance and business rates.
The overall amount would be published by the Treasury so customers and shareholders can judge if business making a proper contribution.
Mr Umunna said: "Clamping down on tax avoidance by big corporates should not stand in the way of celebrating the contribution the vast majority of businesses make."
Starbucks volunteered £20million to the Treasury after an outcry because it avoided corporation tax for three years.

Weir, who also won in 2002, has recovered from a heavy cold to take part in the race, organised by Disability Sport Events, and warmed up for his challenge with second place behind Australian Kurt Fearnley in last month's Los Angeles Marathon.
Fearnley is the current king of the distance and he will be chasing his seventh consecutive marathon win when he makes his London debut.
Also in the field are South African Ernst van Dyk, who crashed in last year's race and Mexico's Saul Mendoza, the winner in 2004 and 2005.
But Weir knows that Fearnley is a real threat to his crown.
"Kurt is a strong all-rounder, even if he doesn't know the course as well as I do, and it is difficult to break him," he said.
"He is good on the uphill and downhill sections and also on the straight but he's done so many marathons that maybe he will be tired by London.
"I will be sticking with him wherever he goes in the race because he will be challenging for the lead, and I know he will do the same with me. It could be a real battle to the end, although you don't know who else will be in the pack.
"The pressure of being defending champions isn't something that bothers me and being the one that the others want to beat makes me train harder.
"Because we don't have a major championship this year, this is one of my most important races of the year."
Among the other British competitors are Brian Alldis, who was fifth last year, and former Paralympic wheelchair basketball player and BBC Television personality Ade Adepitan.
Adepitan is making his marathon debut and will be raising funds for WheelPower and the Brain and Spine Foundation. He has been given some training tips from Weir, who is impressed with how well he has done.
"I think Ade has taken to the training very well - much quicker than I thought he would and he looks like he could be a very good sprinter if he wanted to keep it on," he said.
"I've given him some advice and I think he will do well and certainly get around the course."
Blackpool racer Shelly Woods leads the British challenge in the women's race, with the 20-year-old hoping to make it third-time lucky after second place behind Italy's Francesca Porcellato in the last two years.
"My training has gone well and my performances and times this year show I'm going in the right direction," she said.
"Francesca has won four times in a row in London and is the world marathon record holder so it will be tough but I'm confident.
"I would love to win because it is a big race for any British athlete and it is the most high-profile race I get to compete in at home."

Event Details
Building Blocks of Reading for Younger Students: Presented by Dr. Mary Dahlgren. The building blocks of reading are the same for all readers, but they look different at different ages. In this session, we'll take a look at how the understanding of speech sounds (phonology), letter patterns (orthography), and meaningful word parts (morphology) impact reading for early childhood and lower elementary students. These building blocks allow students to become good decoders which leads to them being successful readers. Teachers will learn systematic and explicit ways to address these building blocks in the classroom, improving reading for all students.

Kobe is compared to Mike, whether Cheese Eyes himself or any of his minions will admit to the validity of it.
[Phlip note – we can leave it to the nice folks of bleacherreport.com to explain their argument for the validity of comparison]
Carmelo Anthony has a lot of George Gervin in him, in the sheer number of ways he can find (and make) his shot.
Kevin Durant is Larry Bird; not a freak athlete like his peers, but more than makes due with effort and the use of the skillset he does have.
I could go on and on, but I would rather get to the point.
LeBaron James…
[Phlip note – yes, I know it feels like I am picking on the guy… well I am]
I am inclined to compare him to Dominique Wilkins more than I am the first person that people try to compare him to; Magic Johnson.
Perhaps it has a great deal to do with the fact that I am a Lakers fan since my Granddaddy was and Magic is a legend in Lakers lore, so I do not have it in me to rate lesser beings on the level with such.
Bust the facts…
Lebaron James:
- 6'8"
- 250lbs
- 2003-04 Rookie of the Year
- 1 x NBA Scoring Champion
- 6 x All-Star, 2 x All-Star MVP
- 2 x NBA MVP
- Named after the worst car that Chrysler ever made.
Dominique Wilkins:
- 6'8"
- 230lbs
- 1 x NBA Scoring Champion
- 9 x All-Star
- 2 x NBA Slam Dunk Champion
- Euroleague and Greek Cup Champions (MVP of both, 1996)
- Named after fake diamond product sold on QVC
Disparity MIGHT be noted on their weights – never even minding that LeBaron's is rumored to be more than his listed 250. Personally, I don't buy that shit when considering his knees are not already fucked with the way he plays.
Understand that Dominique came up in a league where anyone 6'8" and 230 might as soon play power forward and would surely find himself guarding centers sometimes… But he didn't. With that said, a 6'8" and 230 pound dude, when counted in 1982 math is equal enough to a 6'8" and 250 pound one in 2010 money.
Several parallels can be drawn to between their careers beyond just physical size. Both were prolific scorers when going to the hoop and used their physical gifts – both at their times unheard of to the league – to make someone a poster on any given night.
[Phlip note – in fact, the earliest "in my poster" that I STILL remember is a 3-footer that my older sister had on her wall if Dominique defining what we would come to know as the definition of "embarrassed" to a defending player]
Spotty jump-shooting, questionable defensive habits erased by simply bullying the shit out of the opposing player, or simply being able to jump higher than normal human beings to erase those flaws. Each was/is overrated to the point where their shortcomings were/are overshadowed by their physical gifts.
Both players are/were reluctant passers. The edge falls to LeBaron in that while he has NEVER learned to play without the ball, he will at least enter a play with the possibility of making a play for someone else, and a +4.5 assist average will easily speak to that. Where LeBaron passes as a means to getting his name on SportsCenter, 'Nique DIDN'T pass en route to becoming the highlights that made a not-yet-born LeBaron WANT to be on SportsCenter.
One more place where their careers share a dubious similarity is in the playoffs. Personally, I am more inclined to place Dominique's losses on his generally one-dimensional game being more easily exposed by competition. Having to play in the eastern conference during the reigns of Detroit's Bad Boys, Bird's Celtic teams and of course the Cheese Eyes-led Bulls regime(s) is an ugly fucking proposition. They showed, making the post season in all of his years in Atlanta, only twice seeding in the bottom half the standings – twice even first – but never even made the NBA finals.
LeBaron, coming from a more terrible beginnings with the team – joining via draft (and during Carlos Boozer's screwjob) and not via trade – would not make the playoffs until his third season. From there, he would always be in the top of the conference, having had the league's best record two of them and surprising the world, carrying the team to the NBA Finals before being swept. That feat would be the similarity to 'Nique's 47-in-a-loss in Boston in 1988. From there, it would be big showings, blowouts and sideline dancing during the regular season, followed by unceremonious exits from the playoffs just short of all expectations, followed by excuses.
Now to the "end," which would be the downswing of 'Nique's career – in which his most oft-compared rival was racking up rings, taking adventures
Following the season, he signed in Boston but split town when he saw that rebuilding was coming, instead choosing to go to Europe and monster on their leagues, winning two championships and MVP awards, with one attempted return to the NBA and one final hoorah before retiring. Yes, it was as much a hall of fame career as one could expect from someone who, for all his actions, came from his career with not a lot of hardware.
LeBaron's story is fresher in our collective memories, so I can probably skip it… Dragging a team from the depths of hell to the league elite, only to fail on the biggest stage – twice with no excuse and appearing to have quit – then escaping, via a TERRIBLY carried out process to what should have been greener pastures, only to have found trouble in paradise way earlier than most thought possible.
To his credit, his story is still being written, but damned if it ain't starting to look like something we've seen before. Luckily, we also know the means to fixing the shit, but to his criticism, he seems totally oblivious to his own culpability in this mess. I know that he did not single-handedly bring this Miami Heat fiasco to be, and was acting within his rights to change teams, considering that he too was stuck with a bad organization… The fact remains that he is the FACE of the team, damning what anyone says about it being "Wade's team." Dwyane Wade's name is not on a sneaker. The wins will be credited to the dude with the biggest highlights on ESPN every morning, and so shall the losses.
If he wins, there is no question as to whether his name is welcomed in the Parthenon of the greats.
If he doesn't, then EVERYTHING worth questioning (and a bunch of shit that isn't, but will be anyway), then he joins the ranks of Mitch Richmond and Dominique, who were forced to sit and watch their peers win the big shit that matters. His Cleveland Cavaliers were to the Lakers and Spurs as 'Nique's Hawks were to the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls.
And while that is a career that can and has netted people entrance into the hall of fame, it has to feel REAL empty to have not led one to the promised land.
For now, the similarities are more to those who have ALMOST done it than it is to those who have.
And we all know that close only counts in horseshoes, hand-grenades and shit-fights.

Mexico seeks new tourists despite drug wars
By Victoria Bryan
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Mexico is relying on travelers from countries like Russia and Brazil to boost its tourism numbers this year after the drug war plaguing the country deterred U.S. visitors, its largest source of tourists.
The number of international tourists arriving on flights is expected to rise between 9 and 10 percent this year from the 22.7 million in 2011, Tourism Minister Gloria Guevara told Reuters in an interview in Frankfurt.
"We are diversifying by promoting culture and gastronomy and broadening the base of nationalities who visit," she said. "Before we were too dependent on the U.S., and sun and sand."
She said international arrivals by air had risen 7 percent between January and March, with tourist numbers from Brazil up 70.5 percent and Russia up 63 percent, helped by easier visa application processes.
The rise in tourists from Russia is similar to that seen in Tunisia and Egypt after the Arab Spring uprisings shattered bookings from traditional markets like Britain, France and Germany, while the increased spending power of the Brazilians has made them attractive consumers.
However, the arrival figures given by the minister do not include 'excursionists' - those coming in via car across the U.S-Mexico border.
While the number of people flying in has increased over the last few years, arrivals from across the border have slumped from around 80 million in the early 2000s to under 60 million, according to ministry statistics.
"Yes we have an issue, but you can't generalize," Guevara said. "There are of course towns near the U.S. border that have problems, but does that mean the whole border area is unsafe? No." Continued...

I am a pretty laid back person and fairly low maintenance. I would rather spend more of my time enjoying myself than getting ready.
Music and photography are my biggest interests.
Been far too busy lately, but love to just go for a walk around the city with my camera.
On the music end of things I will listen to anything once,I really enjoy finding new artists.
My idea of the perfect evening is just going to a nice lounge and listening to some jazz then maybe walking around the city.
I also love Ice Hockey...I am an Anaheim Ducks fan for life, but also support the NY Rangers (as long as they are not playing the Ducks).
Got into football (the real one where you play with your feet) a few years ago. Decided on Liverpool as my team. Still learning but I think I got most of it down. I will gladly take some lessons in exchange I can teach you the hockey rules :)
Also hockey fans, there are three teams in the immediate area yet fans are so hard to find...why is that?
Oh if you are a Brit who happens to like hockey...you might as well just step right up to the front of the line ha ha.

I joined the morning after the election. Now I am working on getting others to join. Not sure what else one man can do.
SIgn up for the NRA/ILA email list. Then when they put out a bulletin that some bill is being voted on, immediately contact your representatives and senators and let them know your position.
Be a good ambassador. Study up, have the right calm collected answers and present yourself as an educated calm individual.
Thank you for joining the NRA.
I have been a member since Junior High School, then when had my first semi-steady job bought my Life membership.
Join the NRA, SAF, GOA, SAS, and JPFO - send money to all when you can.
The NRA is good about emailing about ways to support local politicians who are pro 2A. The key is to act on their advice. I usually take it a step further and let all my friends know who are 2A supporters so they can get involved.
Getting involved does work. That was one of the lessons learned in the last Presidential election.
I just joined again after letting it lapse for years. The next two years might be scary.
I went to life member status and my baby sis just e-mailed that she's just joined -- both because of the recent election.
All preceding suggestions are excellent.
What else can we do?
Joining the organizations is a great first step. The next step is to be involved in the process of your government. Too many people believe that their membership in the NRA, GOA, etc., takes care of thier duty to protect their rights as gun owners and citizens. Just like many believe that voting for president once every four years takes care of their need to be involved in government. We must become involved in a dialogue with our legislators. Here on this board we are concerned with 2A rights, but it is our duty as citizens to be involved in all the workings of the government. By the end of next year the staff at the offices of your representatives in government should recognize your letters when they arrive. We have to keep on them all the time about everything. Our 2A rights will mean little if we let them continue to bankrupt the country, and do all the other things that are turning us from the proud, strong, independent nation we should be into just another has been on the world power scene.
We gave congress their lowest approval rating ever, yet the majority of incombents were re-elected. We have to wake up and get involved. The politicians have no fear of their constituents, they believe they hold the power of government, not the people. The more you get involved on 2A and all issues the more power the people have, and the more you will really know what your representatives do. I voted against my pro-2A legislators because they failed me in every other area of their job at representing me. That means they don't listen. That means their pro-2A stance is just a convenience and when it comes time that they will gain power in some back-room deal, my 2A rights could be sold down the road just like anything else.
Gun Owners of America
I have been debating this very thing. Then I read some piece of propaganda that makes me have ill will. (that is what propaganda is intended to do I guess.) The most recent article was "Has the NRA lost it's clout"
I just became a life member...and, I'm buying lots of extra ammo.

Students Learn Importance of Ethics, Professionalism in Study and Practice
September 5, 2012 – Cooley Law School kicked off its fall semester with its annual Professionalism in Action programs held at all five campuses.
Before incoming Thomas M. Cooley Law School students step into their first law school class, they are oriented to the importance of attorney ethics and professionalism through a collaborative program between the State Bar of Michigan and Cooley, called Professionalism in Action. Begun in 2009 by then State Bar of Michigan President Edward H. Pappas, the program brings students, local attorneys and judges together to discuss the role and importance of ethics and professionalism in both the study and practice of law.
In Grand Rapids, attorney William W. Jack Jr., of Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge PC, served as the keynote speaker. He urged students to "take the higher road" and stressed the importance of consistently ethical behavior. Bruce Courtade, the president-elect of the State Bar of Michigan, provided welcoming remarks and introduced the speaker.
In Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County District Court Judge Cedric Simpson served as the keynote speaker. He stressed the importance of honor and integrity in the practice of law, and told students to strive to be an honorable attorney in how they conduct themselves with clients, other attorneys, and in their practice. He administered the Commitment to Honor to the students. Roundtable discussions on issues of ethics and professionalism, a hallmark of the Professionalism in Action tradition at Cooley Law School, followed the oath.
In Lansing, State Bar of Michigan President Julie Fershtman served as the keynote speaker. Following that presentation, incoming students participated in roundtable discussions on ethics and professionalism with lawyers and judges. Ms. Fershtman emphasized to students the importance of civility, honesty, and competence.
In Auburn Hills, the Hon. Cynthia Stephens, a judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals, gave the keynote address and talked with students about practical professionalism issues. Assistant Dean Lisa Halushka gave opening remarks while Cooley graduate Thomas Romach, secretary for the State Bar of Michigan, introduced the speaker.
In Tampa Bay, 13th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Christopher Sabella gave the keynote speech, administered the Honor Code Oath, and led a discussion group. In addition to Judge Sabella, program volunteers included Cooley alumni Nick Martinez, J.D. Pierce, Manuel Franco, Aaron Hubbard, James Amarosa II, Charles Jones II, Julianna Rojas-Butcher, J. Chad Self and Bradley Butcher, as well as Tampa Bay Campus Deputy Director and alumna Carly Wolf, judges Emily Peacock and Daniel Sleet of the 13th Judicial Circuit Court, Tampa Bay Campus Director and alumna Dionnie Wynter, Tampa Bay Campus Assistant Director for the Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism Amy Bandow, Judge Sabella, and Dara Cooley, Jacqueline Ambrose, Peter Farren, Victoria Cruz-Garcia, Robert Nader, and Brittany Maxey.

I thought a bit more about this, and I can see that HoldAll is necessary
so that the unknown variable can be made local to FindRoot.
For example,
a = 3;
FindRoot[a^2 == 2, {a, 1}]
Out[2]= {3 -> 1.4142135623730951}
works, but it still returns 'a' in the result ({a -> solution}), which
is then replaced with 3. So even though 'a' is local to FindRoot, it is
not a good idea to use it as the unknown if it has a value.
> 2. Or prevent FindRoot from evaluating the equation before the unknown
> has been substituted with a numerical value.
The problem with this is that in certain cases it will make it necessary
to use Evaluate[]:
eq = a^2 == 1
FindRoot[eq, {a, 1}]
Whether having to use Evaluate[] in certain situations is a greater
disadvantage than the current problem with NIntegrate etc. is debatable.

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Ebola and Marburg haemorrhagic fevers are caused by the Ebola and Marburg virus respectively, both belonging to the same virus family. Both are rare diseases, but have the potential to cause high death rates. There are five species of the genus Ebolavirus (Filoviridae family): Zaïre ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, Reston ebolavirus, Taï Forest ebolavirus and Bundibugyo ebolavirus.
Ebola virus disease is not an airborne disease and only symptomatic patients are contagious. Transmission requires direct contact with blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of dead or living infected persons or animals. Therefore the risk of infection is considered very low if precautions are strictly followed.
Clinical illness starts as a flu-like syndrome, rapidly evolving to severe disease with bleedings. No treatment or vaccine is available for either disease.

Michelle L. Marshall
Mullen Advertising Agency
Vice President, Director of Digital Media
Winston-Salem, N.C.
Age: 38
When Michelle L. Marshall discovered her passion for advertising as an undergraduate at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., she changed her major from computer information systems to marketing/advertising and never looked back. Today, buttressed by 12 years' experience creating digital media strategies for Fortune 500 companies, she is the vice president, director of digital media for Mullen Advertising Agency, tasked with leading the digital media strategy, planning, negotiations and performance analysis for the firm's digital accounts. Since joining Mullen, she has worked on a few amazing brands, Embarq Corp., now CenturyLink; Dickies apparel brand; SunTrust Bank; Kumon Learning Center; and chemical giant BASF Corp.
Marshall's interest in computers served her well with the advent of digital media, enabling her to quickly understand the industry's technology infrastructure and leverage that understanding to serve her clients. "I still smile and get chills when I talk about digital media," she says. In the digital world, however, new technology and innovations seem to emerge every day. To stay ahead, Marshall knows that she must always be "on her game" — a welcome challenge for someone who says she "loves not being comfortable."
Marshall began her career in advertising as an assistant media planner for W.B. Doner & Co., working on the Greater Michigan Ford Dealers, Motrin, Long Drugs and Red Roof Inn accounts. She moved into positions of increasing responsibility at such top agencies as J. Walter Thompson, Starcom MediaVest Group and PHD. To date, she has worked on more than 55 global brands, including HBO, Capital One Bank, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co.
Away from advertising, Marshall can be found making jewelry, an occupation she considers her personal stress buster. She treasures the time she spends with her husband and two daughters. She says, "Having a strong support system through family and friends is a key ingredient in my success."

Marino Córdoba: Afro-Colombians and the Colombian Civil WarSkip other details (including permanent urls, DOI, citation information)

In past months, the Residential College organized a visit of Marino Córdoba, legal representative for AFRODES (National Association of Displaced Afro-Colombians).
In 1991, the assembly debating the current Colombian Constitution spoke for the first time of the need for recognition of traditional identity and land rights for Colombian Afro- and Native Americans. Acknowledging the existence of a diverse, multiethnic, and multicultural population was of utmost importance in a country which has for centuries taught its children a history loaded with the origins and cultures of the European colonizers of the land but nearly nothing of the Native Americans colonized nor of the Africans enslaved and brought in steadily beginning in 1520.
The 1991 Constitution is, in many ways, one of the most progressive constitutions in the world today. Organizations such as the Proceso Comunidades Negras (Black People's Processes) and the Organización Campesina del Bajo Atrato (Small Farmers Organization of the Lower Atrato—OCABA), of which Mr. Marino Córdoba was a prominent member at the time, played an important role in advocating the long overdue recognition of Afro-Colombians as a "distinct ethnic group" with a right to territorial autonomy and development according to its own cultural values. This was a significant step in undermining a process by which one of the largest populations of African descent in all Latin America—one which has been building the nation for more than 400 years and has nowadays important representatives in politics, sports, music, and in all other scenarios of national life—had been silenced and made invisible, a process aimed at exclusion and whitening initiated with the first republican document of 1819 and continued through the Law of Abolition of Slavery in 1851, which conceded citizenship to "blacks" but didn't go as far as calling them "free men and women."
Despite the important legal rights achieved through it, the 1991 Constitution has also given rise to new and deadly challenges, placing many Colombians in a quagmire. This is especially true for inhabitants of the territory which stretches along the 1,300 km on the Pacific Coast, along the numerous rivers, and in the vast valleys of the rainforest region of El Chocó. Three-fourths of these people (around 2 million) are of African descent.
The department of Chocó was created in 1945, in a region which some historians contend used to be a broad palenque, where a large population of cimarrones (fugitive slaves) like the legendary Benkos Biojó fought for their freedom and independence. Governmental neglect and discrimination, a pattern of displacement and the ransacking of natural resources have made of Chocó one of those regions where immense poverty and enormous wealth coexist in contradiction. It lacks all infrastructure to meet basic human needs, health care is poor or non-existent, infant mortality rises to 110 per 1,000 live births, per capita annual income is $500 (compared to a national average of $1700), and access to education is extremely limited (2 out of every 100 Afro-Colombians go on to college, and mostly to the lowest ranked institutions). At the same time, Chocó boasts one of the greatest biodiversities in the world, untapped oceanic resources and deposits of strategic materials like gold, platinum, magnesium, uranium and plutonium.
It is not the modest peasant economy that armed factions of the Colombian conflict are seeking to control in Chocó, but the territories which will house huge economic projects and also serve as strategic passages for the profitable 2-way traffic of drugs (and the chemicals needed for the production, which are largely provided by U.S. industries) and illegal weapons. The IMF / World Bank Structural adjustment that took place in Colombia throughout the 1990s gave way to policies which determined that Coastal communities would become beach resorts with megahotels, forests would be harvested for timber, and minerals would be extracted from mines and riverbeds. Projects to tap the genetic diversity of the region for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology also emerged, as well as plans for the building of an inter-oceanic canal. Taking advantage of a legal device which states that Collective title expires if the community is not there to claim it, the army and paramilitaries—whose connections have long been signaled and underscored by international organizations—and guerrilla groups have massacred entire communities or forced their displacement through the use of terror or blockades of food and medicine in order to depopulate their traditional ancestral lands, denying their rights to active neutrality and territorial autonomy. The U.S. has also made presence in the conflict in both official (hundreds of troops deployed for "training" missions) and unofficial numbers (Dyncorp and other companies hire militias of actively involved "private contractors" like those recently brought to the spotlight by events in Iraq).
This is what has been going on over the last ten years in places like Riosucio, where in 1996 Mr. Córdoba was targeted by paramilitaries and forced to flee for his and his family's life along with those other members of the community who were not massacred. At the time Mr. Córdoba worked as a special advisor to community councils which assumed administration of collective land titles, member of the Peace Council and Mediator in Alternative Dispute Resolution in the municipality. This happened just days before a law transferring land to the community was to pass. Similar events occurred in Juradó, Bojayá, Quibdó, San Juan and Naya Rivers, to name only a few places in Chocó that have contributed to the scandalous death rates and the massive forced displacement that now nears 3 million people in a country of less than 45 million, making Colombia the worst scenario for these occurrences worldwide. A large percentage of those internally displaced are Afro-Colombians. And for those who choose to cross the border into Panamá and other neighboring countries, repatriation without guarantees for safety is tantamount to a death sentence.
Three years ago, distinguished documentary filmmaker Marta Rodríguez was on the U-M campus presenting Nunca Más/Never Again, one of the latest in her works on ethnocide in Colombia, which features the displaced people in Chocó and Urabá regions. Massacres of Afro-Colombians were then and still are taking place in Chocó and elsewhere in Colombia. Victims of this type of violence like Mr. Córdoba, first President and legal representative for the National Association of Displaced Afro-Colombians (AFRODES), have taken upon themselves the task of traveling around the world as means of counter-information, giving audiences like us the privilege of witnessing the events that keep going on largely unreported by the world media. Mr. Córdoba has received numerous peace awards and invitations to speaking tours in various countries of Latin America as well as in the United States and South Africa. In 2001, he ran as a candidate to the City Council of Bogotá, representing the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons who have in recent years swelled the population of the marginal neighborhoods of the capital. Shortly after, he was wounded in a new attempt against his life and was forced to flee the country following the failure of the Colombian Government to provide the necessary conditions to guarantee his and his family's life and livelihood, even when this was explicitly requested by the Human Rights Commission of the Organization of American States. He is now residing temporarily and seeking asylum in the United States, where he works and travels to denounce the deplorable situation for human and civil rights in his homeland, and in particular, to garner support for the cause of Afro-Colombian communities besieged by the violence of war.
Felipe Gomez is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at U-M.

§ 3105.
(a)Property Subject to Sequestration.—
Any income from property in which the debtor has a substantial nonexempt interest may be sequestered pursuant to a writ of sequestration in an action or proceeding against a debtor on a claim for a debt and may be held as security to satisfy such judgment, and interest and costs, as the United States may recover on such claim.
(2) The amount of income sequestered shall not exceed the amount by which the sum of the amount of the debt claimed by the United States and the amount of interest and costs reasonably likely to be assessed against the debtor by the court exceeds the aggregate value of the nonexempt interest of the debtor in any—
(b)Availability of Sequestration.—If the requirements of section 3101 are satisfied, a court shall issue a writ authorizing the United States to sequester income from property in which the debtor has a substantial nonexempt interest, as security for such judgment (and interest and costs) as the United States may recover on a claim for a debt—
(1) in an action on a contract, express or implied, against the debtor for payment of money, only if the United States shows reasonable cause to believe that—
(c)Issuance of Writ; Contents.—
Subject to subsections (a) and (b), a writ of sequestration shall be issued by the court directing the United States marshal of the district where income described in subsection (a) is located to sequester the income.
Several writs of sequestration may be issued at the same time, or in succession, and sent to different judicial districts until sufficient income is sequestered.
(3) The writ of sequestration shall contain—
the identity of the court, the docket number of the action, and the identity of the cause of action;
(d)Execution of Writ.—
(2) The United States marshal shall file a copy of the notice of sequestration in the same manner as provided for judgments in section 3201(a)(1). The United States marshal shall serve a copy of the writ and notice of sequestration on—
in the same manner that a summons is served in a civil action and make the return thereof.
(e)Deposit of Sequestered Income.—
A person who has possession of the income subject to a writ of sequestration shall deposit such income with the clerk of the court, accompanied by a statement in writing stating the person's name, the name of the debtor, the amount of such income, the property from which such income is produced, and the period during which such income is produced.
(f)Return of Writ; Duties of Marshal; Further Return.—
A United States marshal executing a writ of sequestration shall return the writ with the marshal's action endorsed thereon or attached thereto and signed by the marshal, to the court from which it was issued, within 5 days after the date of the execution.
The return shall describe the income sequestered with sufficient certainty to identify it and shall state the location where it was sequestered, and the date and time it was sequestered. If no income was sequestered, the return shall so state.
(g)Reduction or Dissolution of Sequestration.—
If an excessive or unreasonable sequestration is made, the debtor may submit a motion to the court for a reduction of the amount of the sequestration or its dissolution. Notice of such motion shall be served on the United States.
The court shall order a part of the income to be released, if after a hearing the court finds that the amount of the sequestration is excessive or unreasonable or if the sequestration is for an amount larger than the sum of the liquidated or ascertainable amount of the debt and the amount of interest and costs likely to be taxed.

Ad blocking has become quite the popular feature in Opera for the desktop and the company behind the browser is now looking to port this time and data saving feature to smartphones.
More →
Opera launched version 9 of its Mini browser for iOS today, bringing a Video Boost feature that cuts down on video load times by incorporating a compression technology. The browser has also been optimized for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Opera Mini has been updated for the first time since October 2012, applying a fresh coat of paint to the app and adding a few new features in version 8. These features include Data Savings, themes, and a new way to discover content on the web.
Opera Mini Web browser for Phone, and now iPad, has received a big update. In addition to support iPhone and iPad, Retina Display, and Facebook and Twitter, Opera Mini has received stability improvements and is much more pleasurable to use.
If you pick this one up, let us know what you think!
[Free - iTunes link]
So we've had a couple of days to play with Opera Mini for iPhone and it's clear why the new proxy browser is so divisive -- it's got a fantastic feature set, and is fast for people on slow EDGE connections and cheap for people on roaming data, but its UI is kludgy, it doesn't render HTML as well as Safari, and it has trouble with dynamic websites.
Whether you love it or hate it will likely depend on a couple of things:
The more of the above that applies to you, the more you'll want to keep Opera Mini handy. And hey, even if none of it applies to you, it's free so you can stick it on a back page (or in an iPhone OS 4 folder) for emergencies.
It's also a 1.0 release, so Opera will no doubt improve it going forward. Either that or complain to the EU and try and force a browser-ballot onto the iPhone... (We kid! They invented tabbed-browsing, we heart them!)
How's Opera Mini working for you?
Opera has just announced that their Opera Mini browser for iPhone has been approved [Free - iTunes link]. According to Engadget, it's already popping up in some international App Stores and should/could be in your App Store any time now. Update: looks like it's live now, go get it!
This also means it doesn't use as much data, and can thus usually display web pages faster and with slower data connections than a full-on browser -- especially useful for people on roaming data rates or on EDGE connections.
It breaks SSL encryption by necessity however (https sites), so while you may want to use it to traveling the outskirts, you'll like want to avoid it when mobile banking downtown.
(You also might want to use it for it's on-page text search feature -- something even iPhone OS 4 still lacks.)
Let us know when Opera Mini appears in the App Store for you, and if you try it, what you think of it. Video of Dieter checking out the pre-release version after the break!
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
Live from CTIA 2010, Dieter takes a look at Opera Mini for the iPhone, just now submitted to the App Store.
Watch along after the break!
Opera PR tells us they've submitted their Opera Mini browser for iPhone and iPod touch to the iTunes App Store. If that reads a tad non-plussed, there's a reason for it. We're posting it because it's "big news" but it smells manufactured. No doubt tons of apps were submitted to the App Store today and there's no way we could post about all of them, but due to Apple's perceived reluctance to approve a "rival" browser to Mobile Safari, and Opera's use of that for their own PR purposes, tech sites all of the internet are carrying the story. So good for Opera.
As to the app itself, I'm sure I'll appreciate it when roaming internationally or when caught on really slow EDGE connections, because Opera's proxy servers probably already have most popular sites pre-cooked and ready to render. I won't be using it for banking or highly interactive sites though, because proxy browsers by their nature break SSL encryption and don't offer real speed boosts for non-pre-rendered content.
I do like the idea of diversity and choice in the App Store, however, so hopefully it gets approved and those who want it can have it. (And Apple really needs to add a similar search-for-text-in-page feature to Mobile Safari already).
(Note: for Jailbreakers who want a proxy browser but don't want to wait, @antonioj points us to UCWEB which he says does pretty much the same thing as Opera Mini but is already available on Cydia.)
Opera Mini video after the break...
We had the opportunity at Mobile World Congress to sit down with Opera co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner Jon S. von Tetzchner and talk Opera Mini browser for iPhone. Now the good news: We've seen the Opera Mini browser on the iPhone, and it is wonderful. The bad news: While we can talk about it till the cows come home, we weren't allowed to take video or even a still picture of it. Them's the breaks.
Opera, makers of mobile web browsers popular on those platforms that don't yet have a WebKit browser (ouch, but yeah) has announced that they're going to show off a version of their Opera Mini proxy browser at Mobile World Congress (MWC) to partners and press.
I'm not a huge fan of proxy browsers in general -- where web data is rendered on Opera's servers, compressed, and then sent down to your phone. They remind me of those old "dial-up internet accelerators" that just cached everything locally. As broadband grew, the need for them evaporated. They also break secure connections, since they're doing the actual web calls on their server, so things like online banking become an issue for the paranoid.
Opera makes a good point, however -- for people in countries where data isn't "unlimited" but paid-per-megabyte, or for people roaming in other countries, proxy and compression can be a big money saver.

How Does False Information Spread Online?
By Farida Vis | Published: April 16, 2014
There's lots and lots (and lots) of information pumping through the internet. This, argues Farida Vis, makes it doubly important to verify what's out there and then determine how to deal with the patently false.

Teaching Internet Ethics
By David Canter | Published: June 11, 2012
Letters to the newspapers from killers and other criminals are as old as newspapers, but there is something about the immediacy and anonymity of the internet and its ability to grab attention from a great mass of people who may not have a voice that will be listened to by authority that encourages its villainous use.

SCHS Basketball, Soccer Players Sign
A number of Stephens County High School winter and spring sport athletes sign on the dotted line to play at the next level.
Those student-athletes, along with a number of fall sport athletes who also signed, were recognized in a ceremony Monday at the Currahee Arena at Stephens County High School.
Lady Indian basketball player Charity Major signed to play basketball collegiately at nearby Emmanuel College.
Major said Emmanuel is a good fit on and off the court.
"I like their athletic program," said Major. "They built a new athletic arena and it is nice. It is two courts. It is great all around. They also have a good computer science program and that is what I am majoring in."
Meanwhile, Indian boys' basketball player Cody Helgeland will play basketball at Waycross College next year.
He said Waycross provides him with a good opportunity.
"There is a lot of competition up there and it is a junior college, so I'll be trying to move onto another college to play basketball at a higher level than I already am," said Helgeland.
Helgeland says he wants to study physical therapy in college.
Moving to spring sports, Dalton Fowler signed to play soccer at Erskine College in South Carolina.
Fowler said Erskine was the best choice for him.
"They just opened up the opportunity for me and I took it," said Fowler. "I like the college."
Fowler said he wants to study to be an athletic trainer.
A number of fall sports student-athletes also signed Monday.

Robert and Hazel (nee Hedlund) Williamson, residents of Redlands for 45 years, recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with an open house at their home.
They met on a blind date, arranged by Robert's sister, Nancy, while he was home on leave from the Air Force. They dated for a week before he had to report to Panama City, Fla. During his Christmas leave, they dated for another week, while he was stationed at Castle Air Force Base in Merced. Hazel invited him to her sorority's (Chi Omega) spring dance at the Montecito Country Club. He arrived with an engagement ring and she accepted his proposal of marriage.
They married Oct. 19, 1953, at Angelica Lutheran Church in Los Angeles.
The anniversary celebration was hosted by their three children, Valerie Williamson of Redlands; Bill Williamson and his wife, Ruth Ann, of Garland, Texas; and Dr. Robert Williamson and his wife, Beth Anne, of Fairfield, Calif. Gerrards Market catered the affair for 80 guests.
Special guests included Jodi Little of Arcadia, a bridesmaid in their wedding, and Mary Jo Norman of Santa Rosa, their guestbook attendee. Jodi and Mary Jo have been friends of Hazel for 75 years.
Frank Caringella of Monterey Park, an usher in their wedding, and 11 nieces and nephews attended the party, including Rick Dion of Houston; Frankie Sue Merkt of Placitas, N.M., flower girl in the wedding; and Michael Williamson of Grover Beach, Calif., their ring bearer.
Claudine Hedlund Long, a second cousin of Hazel, formerly of Goteborg, Sweden, and now of Winchester, Calif., also attended with her husband, Jamey Long.
All six of their grandchildren were able to attend the party. They are Rob Williamson of Davis, Calif.; Meg Williamson of Gaithersburg, Md.; Mary Oliver of Germantown, Md., mother of their great-grandson Garrett Oliver; Greg, Jaymie and Erin Williamson of Garland, Texas. During the festivities, Erin's boyfriend bent down on one knee and proposed marriage, which she accepted.
Robert began his Air Force career in 1951 as an enlisted man and was trained to be an airplane mechanic. During the Korean War, the Air Force was in need of more pilots and opened pilot training to those who tested well.
Robert did and was inducted into the pilot training program at Marana Air Station in Tucson. He had his advance training in multi-engine aircraft at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas. Upon completion of his training, he was commissioned a second lieutenant and began his flying career in the C-119, dropping troops and equipment, while stationed at Sewart Air Force Base in Smyrna, Tenn.
His next duty station was Evreux, France, for four years, and he flew many missions during the Lebanon crisis and the Belgian Congo crisis. Then he was assigned to Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Va., and he flew the C-130 as a standardization/evaluation inspector. He served a year in Vietnam as a communications officer.
He returned to Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino and served in the inspector general's office for three years. His final assignment was to Fuchu Air Station, 5th Air Force Headquarters, Japan, and he served as base commander for three years. He retired from active duty as a lieutenant colonel in 1973. After retirement, he worked in the motor home industry and as a building inspector for San Bernardino County.
Robert earned his bachelor's degree in history after many years of night classes at various bases and a six-month stint at the University of Omaha (now University of Nebraska).
Hazel graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in home economics, and she also earned a teaching credential.
The couple has been active members of First Lutheran Church of Redlands for 45 years. Robert served on the Church Council, cooked for the Men's Powerhouse breakfast for 25 years and has served as chairman of the ushers. The couple has served in several capacities at the annual fall apple butter festivals.
They have been volunteers in every community in which they have resided. Both have supported and attended the Redlands Symphony Orchestra for 40 years.
Robert is a member of the Order of Daedalians, an organization promoting programs for future generations of pilots. They also are members of the Orange Empire Military Officers' Club, which provides scholarships for youth who are interested in the military.
Hazel was active in the PTA and Scouting all through their children's school years. As a member of the Norton Officers' Wives' Club, she was book club chairman for 12 years. While in Japan, she served as president of the Fuchu Officers' Wives' Club and as vice president and scholarship chairman. She also served as adviser to the NCO Wives' Club.
Hazel served as recording secretary for the Associates of the Redlands Bowl, and was active for several years before becoming a sustaining member. She was honored four years ago with a life membership.
Hazel also is a member of the Norton Officers' Wives' Alumni Group.
Robert and Hazel said they feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in many interesting and beautiful places and to have traveled to several countries in Europe and Asia.
While their grandchildren were in their early teens, they took each one to a national park in the United States. They now enjoy visiting their children and grandchildren, taking cruises and flying to Hawaii each spring.
Though they have traveled extensively, they said they believe that Redlands is the greatest place to live.
