Stonewall Jackson defensive tackle Tim Settle has long been on college coaches' radars with a rare mix of speed and power that is rarely seen on the high school level. His skills earned him an invite to the Nike Football Training Camp (NFTC) last season, but he left without an invite to ESPN-televised The Opening combine in Beaverton, Ore.
With his eyes set on making his first trip to the Pacific Northwest, the 10th ranked player in the nation according to ESPN forgot his basketball shorts for Saturday's NFTC at Centreville. Instead of heading home to grab a pair, he put on a pair of gray sweat shorts that he happened to have with him for the day's camp. Settle was the only player at the camp without basketball shorts.
To make matters worse, the first-team All-Met suffered a leg injury in the early morning drills while pulling Forest Park 6-foot-5, 315-pound defensive lineman Jean Luc Childs with a bungee cord attached to his waist. The injury may have been a byproduct of a lack of water on the warm afternoon, and he said it wasn't anything to worry about long term.
And when it came time for one-on-one drills to end the day the slight injury was the last thing on his mind, and he turned his focus to earning one of the seven spots for The Opening.
"My goal was to go to The Opening," Settle said. "[Quince Orchard's] Adam [McLean] and I fought it out for the MVP award, and I respect the decision for him to get the award. Getting to go The Opening is a once in a lifetime experience."
Settle was especially impressive in the one-on-one sessions with opposing linemen struggling to keep the 6-foot-2, 307-pound player in front of them time and time again. See Settle below against Friendship Collegiate OL Quarvez Boulware — and his gray sweat shorts.
And Settle has yet to get into football shape because he in the midst of baseball season with the Raiders as a left fielder, third baseman and pitcher.
After his drill sessions to end the afternoon, Settle said he will have a top 13 list of colleges before two-a-days begin for the Raiders in August. He recently visited Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and said he plans to visit Georgia Tech in a couple of weeks. He also has visited Penn State with good friend Hylton DL Matt Burrell Jr.
"It was really fun, it was a great time," Settle said of his Oklahoma State visit. "Their weight room was top notch. It had everything you needed that most colleges don't have, and their training coach was amazing. The campus was beautiful."
Settle has around 40 offers from the likes of Alabama, Arizona State, USC, Texas A&M, Florida State and Stanford. And he won't make a decision until the 2015 Under Armour All-American Game in early January or National Signing Day on Feb. 4 of next year.
As the top-ranked player in the area, it can bring added pressure. Settle, though, said he hasn't felt it.
"Its no pressure," Settle said. "My personality is great, I'm not the type of dude to try to show off or anything like that."
After five overtime games this season McLean's girls' soccer team is battle-tested and off to a better start than when the program won the school's first girls' soccer state title in 2011. The defense for the Highlanders (6-0-3) has shut out seven teams through nine games.
–The Howard and Loudoun County boys' lacrosse teams are both undefeated as the postseason nears in Maryland and Virginia. Howard clinched its first Howard County title in 23 years, while the Raiders are coming off a pivotal win over Woodgrove on Monday.
–Blair's softball team faces Montgomery County foe Blake on Thursday and top-ranked Sherwood on Saturday as the Blazers put their undefeated record on the line. Woodgrove has reloaded in 2013 and in search of a second state title in three years.
–Reservoir ace Cody Morris is the ace in the Gators rotation and is taking care of his arm with an innings limit and other activities outside of baseball to remain healthy. Madison junior John DeFazio threw the first perfect game in the Northern Region since 1997.
–The rain has forced an abnormal amount of postponed games, and this spring's wind has rowing teams preparing for championship season with inexperience on the water.
–West Springfield forward Kyle Petit has come back from a medial collateral ligament tear and hamstring injury to score nine goal in nine goals for the third-ranked Spartans.
–Whitman girls lacrosse has emerged as a Montgomery County power with the addition of Bitoni sisters as coaches. Both won a WCAC title with Good Counsel in high school.
Postponements and rescheduled games. After three days of heavy rain, games will be shifted today as schools drain the water off their fields. There's no rain in the forecast today or Friday, so expect a full slate of games as teams look to play catch up before the postseason begins.

Eventually I adapted (except for Vista which never, ever, saw the interior of my hard drive). But this whole going mobile thing is just not what I want from a personal computer. And I look at Metro and see nothing else but plain and pure ugliness. My bad, I'm weird, I should come to my senses, I'm an idiot and all that. I know. Whatever.
Look, thing is, ever since Vista, I've been way-way-way distanced from Microsoft OS. I put up with Windows 7 because it's robust and Microsoft forced me into it over its strategy of purposely not support XP with the new versions of some of its technologies. But I no longer feel for this company OS the desire to remain a loyal user.
The only thing that really forces me today is Visual Studio, games, and the annoying general adoption of Microsoft operating systems by businesses everywhere. My work forces me to adopt this OS. But I'm very seriously contemplating an end to all that. The opportunity rose to spend the next 5 or 10 years developing for Unix systems and I can afford to keep Windows at home just as a gaming machine, and once and for all move completely into home Linux.
I don't identify with any of this stuff ever since Windows Vista. And it's just distancing itself ever more from my personal preferences of what I want from a home computer. To hell with it.

This article has piqued my interest. Not sure about Metro. But does it matter? Even if it's an utter failure and nobody adopted it, they'd just fix it and rebrand it as Windows 9. They're big enough they can afford complete and utter failure.

Personally I like the way things look in Windows 8. I really don't open the start menu that often, since my most used apps are pinned onto my task bar. So if it doesn't hinder what I normally do, is faster, and looks cooler, then I'm for it.

I don't know.
On one hand, they needed to do exactly this to address the increasingly mobile-centric users out there. And there are a half-dozen fixes and optimizations done under the hood, such as the unloading and stopping of idling services instead of leaving them running in memory as 7 does, the upgraded copy/transfer/download dialog with pause, resume, and priority download support just to name two of my favorites. But on the flipside... there was no reason they had to go out of their way to disable the age-old interface design they've practically ensured most of the worldwide user base is familiar with. From what I've read previous registry hacks to bring back the 7-esque interface were permanently disabled in this release. Only a paltry tiny number of desktops have touchscreens and in many situations a desktop with a touchscreen isn't practical for use even if they have one.
have the feeling I'd be in a similar boat with this guy. Granted the author in this one article doesn't seem to know many of the gestures needed as apparent by the comments, but a desktop user shouldn't be forced to use an alien, woefully inadequate interface if the old one is better suited for the machine its running on. I'll install the OS native just to form my own opinions of it, but unless they fix this mobile-only, touch-only interface of theirs by allowing the 7 interface to be used I'm probably going to skip upgrading to Eight.
Opera uses a large number of mouse gestures and in general I dislike them, most commands are easier to just move and click or use keyboard shortcuts. Half the time it interprets normal movement as a gesture. Either way forcing regular desktop users to use mouse gestures is not the way to go.

Personally, I really like it! It's different and quite original. However, I think Metro is more of a tablet thing than a desktop thing, but who knows, I think it might just grow on me.

I'm quite a fan of the new styling, but partially simply because it's NEW.
We were talking about this the other day on IRC, actually, and I think that Marfig and I - though having similar goals - are oddly disparate on this.
I have wanted a reason to like Windows again ever since Windows 2000 died. XP was alright to me but as I grew more interested in security and operating efficiency, I grew to realize what a bloated monster it truly was and how little of a space it had in a security- or productivity-focused environment. I tried, first, to redesign my UI with programs like LiteStep and other shell replacements...but I just couldnt' get away from the overarching design. I grew to hate using it at home and work, and over time I gave every computer I had to Linux and MacOS.
Media Center Edition (both XP and Vista/7) was a disastrous attempt to slap an ugly 10' interface veneer over a desktop, and it felt just like what it was - an add-on that showed MS was not serious about the idea that people were using computers differently than a desktop. There was no true understanding that the data and its uses were changing.
MS has consistently stuck with the "desktop, startbar, icons" since Windows 95, and outside of the office, people don't use computers as a repository of editable documents anymore. Computers are instead portals to content - be that websites, social media, games, video, or music. We use computers now to consume much more than we do to produce, and the UI has not changed to catch up.
Given this, whether Metro is just what the doctor ordered or a complete and utter bollocks attempt to force a tablet interface on a desktop, I am for it. It's the first time I've looked at an MS operating system and said "Now THAT will allow me to interact differently with my system." It's designed for media consumption and it *could* work at 10', 2', tablet AND phone sized interfaces.
As far as a home-use OS goes, I'm excited to see whether this turns out well. And if it doesn't, I hope MS doesn't take the wrong message home that we need to go back to the desktop/startbar/icons. I personally want to see more of this "ditch the desktop", and hopefully they'll pair it with the Kinect SDK.
THAT would be something to see... :-)

I don't see how the Linux DEs were much better. Until Gnome 3, they were desktop, startbar, icons, etc. Gnome3 sort of crashed and burned, and KDE still uses the desktop paradigm.

Meanwhile, a sizable and important part of the Windows customer base is exactly businesses. You know, the ones that didn't adhere en masse to Windows Vista exactly because of the big changes to UI that invariably force companies to incur into training costs and temporary loss of productivity.
Nevertheless, the issue isn't so much whether I feel Metro looks nice or not. Instead I think the whole thing is just one big lie since there won't be any significant increase in user experience. We get this sort of talk every new version of the operating system, since Windows 95. Not to mention all sorts of third-party attempts, including full 3D desktops. And yet the real conundrum of computer interfaces is the tools that we use to command them; the mouse and the keyboard. As long as these remain de facto standards, any pretense Great UI(tm) is always be Just Another User Interface.
If it matters, these pad-like interfaces aren't even new. This thing has been around forever. Windows Blinds had some, for instance. But no one cared.
Now, what I do understand is the desire for some to have access to something new and exciting. I'm not an old crone bent on complaining against new things. What is unacceptable is forcing me into new usage paradigms with every freaking version, not allowing me to retain the former look, or feel, or usage patterns.
I feel this whole "now we got a great UI" fantasy is just a way to sell new versions of an operating system that hasn't seen any major technology enhancements for the past 10 years (with the exception perhaps of UAC). We get thrown into a spiral of fake improvements to an area of any operating system that can hardly be improved further. It's all just a lot of smoke and pretty lights.
Freeware operating systems have an easier time dealing with the problem of a current lack of OS technology drive. They don't have to justify to their users the need to sign a new check. But commercial operating systems like Windows, do need to throw in some sand, smoke and lights into their users eyes so they empty their pockets in the false belief things will get better or prettier. They won't. All that Metro is is another user Interface that will result in we doing with our computers what we have been doing all these years.
And Windows 9, we all know how it goes. Windows 9 will say Windows 8 great new UI is not that great anymore... yawn!

You should also visit the FixingWindows8 site this article refers too. As for Chris Pirillo, he may be a stranger to some of you, not sure. But he runs one of the oldest Windows advocacy and news websites in the internet. He changed the format of his websites during the years, but back in the mid 90s he was already there. I used to subscribe back when he also ran a usenet room.

Sony CEO Lays Out New Plans to Make Company Profitable

Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai
(Source: guim.co.uk)
Changes to digital imaging, games, mobile and TV are on the list
Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai announced his "One Sony" approach today, which consists of a series of initiatives that aim
to turn the company around
Hirai, who became CEO starting April 1, has quite an agenda for the sinking ship he has inherited. He laid out five key ideas for transforming Sony's electronics business, including strengthening core businesses (digital imaging, games and mobile); turning around the television business; expanding business in emerging markets; creating new businesses and accelerating innovation, and realigning the business portfolio and optimizing resources.
Hirai announced previously that the three core pillars of Sony's business would be digital imaging, games and mobile. In today's "One Sony" presentation, he noted that he hopes to generate 70 percent of total sales and 85 percent of operating income for the entire business from these three pillars by fiscal year 2014 (FY14), which is the year ending March 31, 2015.
To break it down further, Sony hopes to leverage key digital imaging technologies like image sensors, lenses and signal processing via consumer products and has a total sales target of 1.5 trillion yen for the consumer, professional and image sensor businesses by FY14.
As far as games go, Sony will continue offering gaming experiences through its PlayStation hardware as well as the PlayStation Network, but plans to expand its catalog of downloadable game titles and subscription services. Sony hopes for one trillion yen and an operating income margin of 8 percent by FY14.
With mobile, Sony wants to pull its VAIO, smartphone and Sony Tablet businesses together to offer superior mobile devices that feature the Sony Entertainment Network. Sony is looking for sales of 1.8 trillion yen in FY14.
While the three core pillars remain the primary focus of the company, the TV business still holds a special place in Hirai's heart. He has said before that he wants to turn it around after years of consecutive losses, and even said he'll be directly running this unit himself.
correct the TV business
, Hirai plans to improve design engineering efficiency, reduce the number of models by 40 percent from FY11 to FY12, and enhance the quality of its BRAVIA LCD televisions with OLED and Crystal LED Displays. Hirai hopes to make the TV unit profitable by FY13 by reducing fixed business costs by 60 percent and operating costs by 30 percent from FY11 to FY13.
Other changes that Hirai plans to implement around the company is increased sales of electronics in emerging markets from 1.8 trillion yen in FY11 to 2.6 trillion yen in FY14; entry into the medical industry by creating medical equipment, targeting sales of 50 billion yen in FY14, and implementing overall restructuring costs of 75 billion yen in FY12.
By completing all of the above, Sony hopes to generate 6 trillion yen and operating income margin of 5 percent for its electronics business in FY14. It also hopes for sales of 8.5 trillion yen and operating income margin of over 5 percent for the Sony Group overall in FY14.
Sony could certainly use all the help it could get. One of its worst issues was the LCD TV business, which had eight years of consecutive losses. After
shaking up this unit
in 2011, Sony finally sold its 50 percent manufacturing stake to Samsung in their LCD joint venture called S-LCD Corporation.
In February,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services confirmed an unfavorable outlook on
Sony's long-term corporate credit rating
where the
long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings dropped from an "A-" to "BBB+."
To make matters worse, Sony then announced that it would
cut 6 percent of its global workforce
as soon as the end of 2012. It then announced that it expected an
annual net loss of $6.4 billion USD
"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." -- Sony BMG attorney Jennifer Pariser

Make the Break (If You Can) (original 2012; edition 2013)
by Reginald J. Exton
Work details
Make the Break (If You Can) by Reginald J. Exton (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm not sure who the target audience for Make the Break (If you can) is, I assume it is targeted at either religious believers, in an attempt to convince them of the wrong-headedness of their beliefs, or at atheists in need of further support for their non-beliefs. Its weak arguments against the validity of religion makes it unlikely to cause religious believers to change their minds about their faiths and its format and writing style make it unlikely they would read it anyway. Atheists looking for support would be better of looking to Dawkins, Dennett, or Hitchens, who have all made similar arguments to Exton's, but better done.
Make the Break (If you can) seems more like a book proposal than an actual book. Perhaps Der. Exton will go back expand this into an actual book; the additional space might allow him to better explain his points and arguments.
I received this book as a part of the Library Thing Early Reviewer program and I would especially like to thank Brian Magee of the Humanist Press for making sure I received it.
Second, while the author should be listened to by people of faith, his arguments are ultimately unconvincing. Whereas I was expecting some very detailed evidence grounded in his profession, much of it was a regurgitation of things I have already read by those who have said it better, like the popular atheists on best-seller lists.
So, it is worth having the book as a resource, I do not believe it accomplishes what it sets out to do. I have absolutely no desire to "make the break."
Exton lacks focus in pursuing the topic of his essay. He attempts to describe the development of religion among prehistoric man; and then summarizes the world-view of major religions such as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. All of these should be studied in their own right and there are many fine books on the subject, information provided here is trivial at best. Exton then attempts supplant these mystical ideologies with fact-based scientific ideology. Again, the aforementioned authors all do a much better job. Often. Exton targets proponents of "Intelligent Design," and while occasionally mocking their utter lack of factual basis, he rarely attempts to present their views before he ostensibly tries to bring them down.
This book could have been a side-by-side debate presenting each side, which the ID arguments, lacking substance, would lose on every point. Distilling material already provided by Dawkins, Hitchens, and I'll add Carl Sagan could provide a concise, compelling document that accomplishes what Exton sets out to do. This book won't push anyone off the fence...it won't even ruffle their hair. The Secular Humanists certainly could use more advocates...the message is strong, there is no need for a such a weak treatment like we have here.
The second chapter is a brief synopsis of the world's major religions, both ancient and modern with some comparison of similar concepts. The chapter on evolution begins with spectroscopy, the analysis of light from other stars and galaxies. Then Exton compares the rate of occurrence of eleven elements in the universe, sea water and the human body. After summarizing Darwin's The Origen of Species and DNA, Exton veers off to a discussion of language development and fear as the source of religion.
Chapter 4 deals with the influence of the family on children as well as televangelists, the pursuit of happiness and the nature of discovery. Chapter 5 is very short: cathedrals are beautiful, Intelligent Design does not lead to any scientific discoveries and religion has been the cause of many deadly conflicts. The penultimate chapter discusses the vastness of the universe and the high probability that inhabitable planets exist. The full-color illustrations are worthy of a coffee table book. Exton offers an alternative to religion: take the best of parts of religions and philosophies. He does not address how we should decide which parts are good and which parts should be discarded or how to persuade others to accept our choices as their own.
Exton's writing style is erratic, bouncing off one idea after another with very little evidence of a coherent plan. It is not clear if he wants to convince readers of the majesty of the universe or that religion has little to offer the modern world. He is very fond of exclamation points. A five page list of References is included but there is no index.

Member Stories – Jeff
I always considered myself over-qualified for life. I grew up in Waterford, Michigan and was always popular. I was the student council president in junior high; I was blessed with a gift for music and won numerous awards for solos and ensembles in statewide high school competitions. I sat first chair playing the baritone horn in symphonic band and was captain of the high school marching band.
My nightmare began when I was a junior and grew rapidly by the time I graduated with honors from high school. My first hospitalization was a year later when I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The medications they put me on helped and my life began to improve.
I worked several jobs for the next seven years until I had my next hospitalization. My medications were adjusted and I was discharged. Four years later I stopped taking my medication and landed in state hospital for thirty days. I've been improving ever since.
About this time, I started attending a day program for people with mental illness. One of the people there suggested that we begin a Schizophrenics Anonymous meeting. I co-led the group and it helped me get along better with people. It also makes it easier for me to accept my schizophrenia. Instead of hiding my illness, I would like to think that I am helping to erase stigma. More honest and steady attendance at Schizophrenics Anonymous meetings has enabled me to open that closed door a little more each time and come into life's sunlight.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:20am
Millon Lacrosse, the nation's premier provider of youth lacrosse instruction is excited to announce expansion into Florida. Millon lacrosse will run its first ever event in the Sunshine state on December 27-30, 2013 at the world renowned Vero Beach Sports Village.
"I am really excited to partner with such a great facility and expand my camps into one of the premier emerging markets in the country for lacrosse. The amount of kids playing down south and the talent coming out of the area is wonderful. There are currently some great instructional opportunities down there, I just feel with 20 years of experience we do things a little differently and the end of the day it's just another chance for kids to get better," said Mark Millon, director of Millon camps.
The camp will run from the afternoon of December 27 through the morning of December 30 at the famed Vero Beach Sports Complex, formerly Dodger town, spring training home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Millon Holiday Getaway will have very limited space and will be available to campers as overnight as well as a commuter option. The facility features on site housing in 88 hotel style villas, dining facilities, a gorgeous pool complex, and many multi-surface playing fields all in close proximity.
"What's better than enjoying the Christmas Holiday with your family then heading south in the warm sun in order to work at improving your game, getting in some game action, and having a blast with your buddies....then pack up and be home well before heading out for your New Year's Eve plans," said Millon.

Other Eastside selections included Bellevue's Hank Bethke and Eric Hael, Eastside Catholic's Colin MacIlvennie and Ross Komenda, Inglemoor's Jacob Cartwright and Emily Sokol, Interlake's Camille Sullivan and Issaquah's Suzy Emerson.

Islander Named Conference Carolinas Men's Lacrosse Player Of The WeekMarch 19th, 2014 at 2:37 pm by Joseph Livarchik
Islander Daniel Shields, a senior playing lacrosse at the University of Mount Olive, has been named Conference Carolinas Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week, the University of Mount Olive posted on its website yesterday.
"Daniel Shields, who helped University of Mount Olive outscore its opponents 43-9 in a pair of wins last week, has been named Conference Carolinas Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week. The award is Shields' first this season.
A senior attack from Mercer Island, Wash., scored nine goals in two games as the Trojans posted a pair of 17-goal wins. In Mount Olive's 20-3 victory over Alderson-Broaddus, Shields scored the first goal of the game and three of his five goals during a run that gave the Trojans a 16-0 lead. He added four goals in the Trojans' 23-6 win over Ohio Valley. Shields had a goal and an assist during a 10-0 run that broke a 2-2 first period tie.
For the season, Shields is tied with his brother, Matt, for the team lead with 23 goals. He also has eight assists for 31 points."

Bellevue High School, which has appeared in several national and regional prep lacrosse rankings this spring, has caught the attention of another prominent national online lacrosse magazine. But this time, the Wolverines aren't the only boys high school lacrosse team from Washington state on the list.
In its first regional ranking of the 2014 season, Inside Lacrosse ranks both the two-time defending state champion and rival Mercer Island High School among the top 10 boys high school programs in the West among its Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse Regional Rankings for Week 1 of the high school lacrosse season.

Mercer Island football has bye week in Week 2 of seasonSeptember 4th, 2013 at 10:19 am by Megan Managan
Thanks to some unfortunate timing, the Mercer Island football team will only play eight games this season, one less than usual.
The Islanders were originally scheduled to play a non-conference opponent in the second week of the season, but after the original team wasn't available, the Islanders started looking for a new team to play.
Making things more complicated, observance of Yom Kippur, which begins on the evening of Sept. 13 would have moved week 2′s game to either Thursday, Sept. 12 or Saturday, Sept. 14.
Unfortunately, this close to the beginning of the season, few teams were available on Friday, let alone available to play on a Thursday or Saturday during the regular season.
Despite one less game this season, the team will kick the season off this Friday with a 7 p.m. away match against Redmond. Mercer Island will play it's first home game on Friday, Sept. 20 – homecoming – against Lake Washington.
ROOT to broadcast Washington high school football gamesAugust 20th, 2013 at 11:47 am by Megan Managan
Its been a while since there's been much of any high school sports news to blog about, but things are going to start kicking into high gear faster than I can believe.
Once again this fall, ROOT Sports is going to be broadcasting a football game of the week, starting Sept. 7 with the big match up of Bellevue vs. Skyline.
Mercer Island is not one of the teams with a game featured, but ROOT will also show the playoff games, as well as the state championships.

Following the Saturday opener, High School Football on ROOT SPORTS will move to its usual Thursday night schedule and will include nine regular season games along with WIAA District Playoffs and 3A and 4A Championship games.
The slate of games will be known as the ROOT SPORTS High Football "Game of the Week" presented by Papa Murphy'swill feature teams from throughout the Seattle/Tacoma area. Games will air on Thursday evenings at 7:00pm PT and will be shown throughout ROOT SPORTS Northwest's five state region.

Multiple indicators of ambient and personal ultraviolet radiation exposure and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (United States)
Freedman, D. Michal, Kimlin, Michael G., Hoffbeck, Richard W., Alexander, Bruce H., & Linet, Martha S. (2010) Multiple indicators of ambient and personal ultraviolet radiation exposure and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (United States). Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 101(3), pp. 321-325.
Recent epidemiologic studies have suggested that ultraviolet radiation (UV) may protect against non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but few, if any, have assessed multiple indicators of ambient and personal UV exposure. Using the US Radiologic Technologists study, we examined the association between NHL and self-reported time outdoors in summer, as well as average year-round and seasonal ambient exposures based on satellite estimates for different age periods, and sun susceptibility in participants who had responded to two questionnaires (1994–1998, 2003–2005) and who were cancer-free as of the earlier questionnaire. Using unconditional logistic regression, we estimated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for 64,103 participants with 137 NHL cases. Self-reported time outdoors in summer was unrelated to risk. Lower risk was somewhat related to higher average year-round and winter ambient exposure for the period closest in time, and prior to, diagnosis (ages 20–39). Relative to 1.0 for the lowest quartile of average year-round ambient UV, the estimated OR for successively higher quartiles was 0.68 (0.42–1.10); 0.82 (0.52–1.29); and 0.64 (0.40–1.03), p-trend = 0.06), for this age period. The lower NHL risk associated with higher year-round average and winter ambient UV provides modest additional support for a protective relationship between UV and NHL.

But in spite of all this, in spite of the many obstacles that encircle us and limit us, humanity is accomplishing great things among the stars.The latest of our successful cosmic explorers is the Rosetta spacecraft, a mission of the European Space Agency.

• This week, Bob McDonnell, a.k.a Virginia's former "Governor Ultrasound", was convicted by a jury on multiple counts of corruption. The schadenfreude-y part is that McDonnell ran for office as a religious-right, pro-marriage, Christian-family-values candidate, whereas his defense at trial basically consisted of arguing that his own marriage was a shambles and that everything he said on the campaign trail was a lie.• In weird and cool biology news: two unclassifiable animal species … [Read more...]

Romas have endured constant prejudice and hatred in Hungary which has led to a desire on the part of many to seek new places where they can be accorded respect as humans. A Canadian immigration official noted his nation has been witnessing a dramatic surge in refugee claims from Hungary, and many of these immigrants are of Roma background. The number of Hungarians applying for entry into Canada has risen from 172 the initial three months of the year to 750 during the next quarter.
Finnish immigration authorities report a surge in application from Romas to their nation. :When an EU citizen seeks asylum in any member state, it is considered a safe country of origin," noted immigration sources. Until Hungary addresses issues of discrimination against Romas hundreds, if not thousands, will be leaving for new destinations.

Big Boi Inks Solo Deal With Def Jam
In July of 2009, OutKast's Big Boi enthusiastically announced that he was in the process of inking a solo deal with Def Jam Records. The switch from Jive Records would give him the opportunity to do some more work with L.A. Reid — the record executive and iconic figure responsible for signing OutKast to their first record deal. The ATL rapper expressed confidence that the legal issues would only take a matter of weeks, but it wasn't until this past weekend that the paperwork finally became official.
Big Boi made the announcement on his personal Twitter account on Friday (March 19) writing, "The ink is on the paper!!! 'Breaking News!!!!' It's official! Big Boi signs solo album deal with Def Jam!!!" According to reports, he has inked a one-album deal with the label in order to release his long-anticipated album 'Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty.' Big Boi has been promoting the album heavily in the past few weeks, since it was originally scheduled for a 2008 release.
During a recent interview with XXL magazine, he talked about plans to shoot videos for every single. "The album is done. Right now I'm just shooting videos. I'ma shoot a video for just about every song on the album," he said. "I shot like five videos so far, for the past three weeks. I've been editing those videos…it's coming man, it's coming. I know everybody's been waiting and I'm anxious to give it to them."
'Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty,' is currently slated for a May release. It was previously scheduled to hit stores on March 23.

Amplifiers and cost constraints.
I don't know whether such an irrelevant topic is suitable for discussion here.
Everyone has his methods on how to design Hi-Fi power amplifiers, his favourite topologies, BJTs FETs cascodes, A/B/C/D/E/.../Z class, reg/unreg PSUs etc so that the best result is achieved.
I guess that sometimes, some of us have to design amplifiers having cost in mind, like 'an X watts amp that costs up to £150 or 200', ie cost dictates everything and several sacrifices must be made.
I wonder how would you distribute that £150-200 budget among PCBs, PSUs and semiconductors assuming that:
0. the product must have decent Hi-Fi performance and worth every penny of the £150,
1. assembly and test costs are negligible,
2. the finished product will have 2yrs warranty, therefore all sorts of protection will be included in the design and all parts should last at least that long,
3. the unit must be suitable for small volume production (10-12 units per day)
4. only a few measurements and adjustments needed to test and calibrate the product,
5. all parts should be readily available and from many sources.
In an amplifier apart from the electronic parts, several other pretty ordinary things are needed, like switches, fuse-sockets, chassis, knobs, indicators, heatsinks, fasteners, sockets, nuts, screws etc. Please include them in your budget.
If you think that the cost distribution can't be calculated because it's either too complex or time consuming or country-dependent or just irrelevant, then please tell the cost % of the subsystems in the amps you have built. (not purchased)

Define 'decent H-Fi'. Retail or wholesale cost? Genuinely CE compliant?
You appear to be asking for significant but free product development consultancy. Many of the issues are irrelevant to DIY audio.
Class E (and F!) won't work too well for audio unless you want a single sine wave at a frequency known and fixed at design time.

The CE compliance isn't a priority for now, it's too premature though it would be in the wish list should the prototype be successful.
I can't define the 'decent Hi-Fi', at least with numbers. An entry level amp for a student or a poor man in a small flat, capable of delivering 10W+10W (at least) with good figures or "merit", ie 0.1% THD+N, 0.1% IMD, 10Hz-40kHz etc. All the numbers aren't exact or mandatory. Can be better or worse. Basically as good as it can be done subject to the £150.
If you think that for any reason it can't be done or you can't disclose, it's OK.
BTW I guess you have built many amps, you don't spend 90% of the cost in the enclosure and flashy panels...
What do you think?

FWIW I wouldn't even attempt to build a budget amplifier,
a good expensive one is an entirely different ball game.
Many moons ago my sisters boyfriend stuck a copy of Everyday
Electronics (I think is was) in my face enthusiastically saying
he wanted to build the £70 kit amplifier featured that month.
A hideously cheap thing to meet that price, as would be £150
today, the grimness of it I can't quite recall, but it was bad.
I got him in his car and we drove to Comet. I pointed at a £50 Trio
amplifier (half price I recall), and said " just buy that", and he did.
Nowadays my favourite budget amplifier is the Pioneer A-300X.
Superb build quality with parts that would cost a small fortune
at an ordering level of 10 a day, for about £70 to £80 used,
and sometimes a lot less, under £40 the last one on e-pray.
It also sounds rather splendid for what it is, decent phono too.
I'd estimate what you could build and make a profit with in the UK
for £150 would look pretty much like £30 offerings from China.
Its a non-starter, you have to go up market for UK manufacture.

Build and debug an amplifier in 1 day? It would have to be a straightforward case of 'datasheet designing' of a chip amp. Much of the cost would be hardware: metal bashing, switches, sockets etc. plus a decent mains transformer.

One day build is well and truly possible, but to achieve this you need to productionse the design. This would be things like buying in batches of loaded pcbs, CNC punched and machined cases and brackets etc.
This represents a major up front investment.
Along the same lines, getting materials costs down requires link g up suppliers with large orders, again up front costs.
Integration and test requires skilled staff with test jigs, procedures and in my experience automated test equipment. Not hard but expensive.
You could do the above, but need confidence you have the ability to sell the (rather large) stack of product you have.
The quality of build you get without the above is almost always "really good" but just that bit home made. It doesn't fuss most of us as hobbyists - we look through the bling and see what lays beneath. Most of your customers don't.
Then there is the route to market. .....

Aren't you guys able to assemble a simple gainclone in one day, let's say, 12 hours of hard work?
I think that the deciding factor would be enclosure workmanship, it can range from already factory made to scratch work from raw metals.
I you already have the case (let's say a Modushop one), soldering components to boards is no more than 1-2 hours, then drill all proper holes in the case, another 1-2 hours, and how much do you need to cable two dozens of wires?

For the second time in three weeks, Boston College put up a fight against a top 10 team, taking a lead into the fourth quarter before falling to third-ranked Clemson (6-0) at Memorial Stadium. The defense was a particularly bright spot for the Eagles, who fell to 3-3 on the season, against a Clemson team that averages more than 40 points per game.
The Tigers marched downfield on their first drive, but a rare missed field goal by kicker Chandler Catanzaro from just 25 yards was a harbinger of the struggle that lay ahead. Running back Myles Willis scored his first career touchdown early in the second quarter on a 38-yard run to cap off a 10-play, 93-yard drive and put BC on top. The Eagles' defense recovered two Clemson fumbles and forced two turnovers on downs in the quarter, but the offense came up against the Tigers' own stout D, with quarterback Chase Rettig having a pass picked off by safety Korrin Wiggins. As time expired in the first half, Catanzaro booted a 35-yard FG to put Clemson on the board.
The Clemson offense finally broke through midway through the third period, when QB Tajh Boyd hit wide receiver Sammy Watkins for a 48-yard TD. But Rettig bounced right back, connecting with WR Alex Amidon for a 69-yard score on the first play of the next drive, putting BC back on top 14-10.
Early in the fourth, Boyd ran the ball in himself from six yards out for what would prove to be the go-ahead TD. On the third play of the ensuing drive, Rettig was sacked and lost the football, which defensive end Vic Beasley picked up and returned 13 yards for the score, putting the nail in BC's coffin. Neither team's offense could get within FG range the rest of the way.
Boyd finished the day 30-for-44 passing for 334 yards, with Watkins recording seven receptions for 101 yards. Rettig had 192 passing yards while completing 13 of 21 pass attempts. Amidon racked up 121 yards on six catches.
The loss was Boston College's second in Atlantic Coast Conference play, dropping the Eagles to fifth place in the Atlantic Division standings. They will now have next weekend off before facing the second half of the season, where they will look to continue to play .500 ball.
Next Eagles game: October 26 @ North Carolina (1-4), time TBD
UMass was the victor in a battle of winless teams at Gillette Stadium, taking its first win of the season over Miami (OH) (0-6). The game was as ugly as could be expected, with intercepted passes, missed field goals and punts on full display.
Massachusetts quarterback A. J. Doyle threw his first pick of the game on the first drive, with defensive back Heath Harding coming up with the ball in the red zone. On the next possession, Doyle found wide receiver Elgin Long for a 22-yard touchdown. On the third drive, the Minutemen again made it into Miami territory, but kicker Blake Lucas missed the long field goal attempt.
The RedHawks were finally able to capitalize early in the second quarter, tying the game up with a 13-yard TD pass from QB Austin Boucher to tight end Steve Marck. Later in the period, UMass DB Khary Bailey-Smith had a red zone interception of his own, but Doyle followed that up with his second pick of the game, to DB Chrishawn Dupuy with less than 10 seconds to go in the first half.
Miami took the lead early in the third period on a 45-yard FG by kicker Kaleb Patterson, but the Minutemen responded with a nine-play, 81-yard drive, capped off by a 47-yard Doyle TD pass to TE Rob Blanchflower, which put them up for good.
On the second play of the fourth quarter, Bailey-Smith again picked off Boucher and returned the ball 25 yards, and Lucas subsequently scored a 25-yard FG to widen the UMass lead to seven points. The RedHawks made it all the way to the Minutemen's 23-yard line before turning the ball over on downs, and their next possession ended with Boucher's third interception of the game, this one coming courtesy of DB Devin Brown. Lucas missed a 44-yard FG that would have put the game out of reach, but Miami couldn't make it out of its own territory on its final drive.
Doyle finished 19-for-35 for 249 yards, two TDs and two INTs, while Boucher only completed 14 of 34 passes for 166 yards, with one score and three picks. The win was doubly valuable for the Minutemen for being in conference play, as it moved them up to fourth place in the Mid-American Conference's East Division. UMass only won one game all last season, and with two of its next four games coming against the two worst teams in the MAC, the Minutemen have a good chance of surpassing that total in 2013.
Next Minutemen game: October 19 @ Buffalo (4-2), 3:30 pm ET

If the activity of the past few days is anything to go by, it seems social mobility is the one area of government policy all are agreed on.
Who needs an announcement on a third Heathrow runway when you can have a handful of announcements on social mobility?
But one minister tells me he's warned Brown of a possible flaw in the Big New Idea – diagnosing where the middle classes tenaciously grip hold of professions – and that's ... nepotism.
The minister sees a trap being created by one of the government's policies.
"If you insist that 50% of children must go to university, you devalue university degrees," the minister sighs.
"This means that employers are more likely to look to applicants who come with more than a degree, and often it's that little something extra – the pedigree of arriving through a well known contact or the intellectual confidence of the middle classes – that does it.
"That's the exact network [Alan] Milburn is now tasked with banishing. I've told Gordon."
Apparently, the prime minister nodded.

First glimpse: This leaked Japanese brochure image looks to preview the next Subaru Forester, due here in early 2013 (source: Carscoop).
25 September 2012
By MIKE COSTELLO
SUBARU'S next-generation Forester compact SUV looks to have broken cover in a series of leaked Japanese brochure shots, around two months ahead of its planned global outing.
Due to emerge in full in December, the fourth iteration will be the largest yet, and borrow much of its mechanicals and cabin technology from the current Impreza small car (and its XV spin-off).
The car will then touch down in Australian showrooms by February, according to Subaru Australia national corporate affairs manager David Rowley, as a replacement for the current model that has been on sale since the beginning of 2008.
For much of that time, the Forester has been the top-seller in Australia's compact SUV segment, although this year it has slipped to fourth place behind the Nissan X-Trail, Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5.
Likely to be based on a modified all-wheel-drive Impreza platform, the new Forester will have more boot capacity (505 litres, up from 450 previously) and will be 35mm longer, 15mm taller and 20mm wider than before.
The leaked images (first seen on Carscoop) refer to a 2.0-litre Boxer engine – almost certainly the 110kW/196Nm unit from the Impreza and XV – plus a more potent version of the same engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger.
Expect this to be matched to either a six-speed manual gearbox or automatic continuosuly-variable transmission (CVT), replacing the outdated five- and four-speed units used in the current model.
It is unclear if Australia will get this engine or the larger 2.5-litre unit that will almost certainly be available for international markets, while a turbo-diesel option is also a safe bet – this time available with an automatic or CVT.
The family influence extends to the evolutionary exterior design, including its cleaner grille and sleeker headlights, and the interior, which is expected to feature more soft-touch surfaces.
The cabin in the leaked images includes a large integrated navigation system, racy drilled metal pedals and a similar overall layout – including high-mounted information display, chunky round dials and three-spoke steering wheel – to both the Impreza and XV.
The leaked shots show two Japanese-market specification levels – the 2.0 XT and 2.0i-L (the latter badge is in-line with Subaru's new nomenclature, while the XT moniker carries over from the current Forester).
The silver XT variant features chunky five-spoke alloy wheels reminiscent of those on the XV, aggressive front bumper intakes and off-road cues including silver scuff plates and roof racks.
The brochure also confirms certain Forester variants will be equipped with Version 2.0 of the company's EyeSight safety technology, incorporating adaptive cruise control, automatic pre-collision braking, lane departure warning and vehicle sway warning among others.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The international envoy for Syria fears the country could turn into a new Somalia unless its crisis is resolved, warning of a scenario in which warlords and militia fill a void left by a collapsed state.
In an interview with the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, veteran Algerian diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi played down the risk of sectarian and ethnic partition of Syria, but said: "What I am afraid of is worse ... the collapse of the state and that Syria turns into a new Somalia."
The Horn of Africa country has been without effective central government since the outbreak of civil war in 1991.
"People are talking about the risk of partition in Syria. I do not see partition," said Brahimi, who was appointed as U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria in August to replace former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
"I believe that if this issue is not dealt with correctly, the danger is 'Somalisation' and not partition: the collapse of the state and the emergence of warlords, militias and fighting groups."
Brahimi's job is complicated by international and regional differences on how the 19-month-old conflict should be resolved.
It began as a peaceful uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, inspired by revolts against leaders in other Arab states. But an armed struggle developed within months as Assad deployed military force to quell protests.
Asked how long the conflict could go on, Brahimi said: "Everyone must face a bitter, difficult and scary truth: that this type of crisis - if not dealt with correctly day by day - can go on for a year, two years and more."
"I hope that it doesn't go on for this period, and it might not if everyone inside and outside (Syria) does what he should." Continued...

Rear cargo cover rattle
1 Attachment(s)
Does any one have the same problem? or is it the spare tire making that noise. Just got the car 3 months ago and this rattle is driving me crazy and its also a lil embarrassing for a 50K BMW. Anyone have any suggestions??
Mine too.Isn't it aggravating?Rip it out ,or extend it and hook it to the rear hatch.Does the '04 also have this problem?I'm ready to trade and upgrade to the 4.8,but I wouldn't want a noisy rear cover,again.Not at that price.
I thought it was the spare tire, so I tightened everything down and that did not take care of it. Then I thought it was the plastic handle that is used to hoist the tire out of the well, or perhaps another plastic part rattling around down there so I secured everything I could find to no avail.
The whole rear gate seems to rattle with every bump...it sounds like it hasn't been closed securely even though I know it has. This is on my list of issues for the dealer when I drop the X5 off tonight.
I hope it can be fixed, but from what I have been able to read on the forums it seems to be somewhat normal. Given BMWs attention to every sound their cars make, I am really suprised this by this one.
Couple of things to try:
It might be the rear seat latches - Fold the seats down and if the rattle disappears, it's from the latch. This was an issue in the earlier models but haven't seen it recently. Easy fix is to wrap the latch bar with some electrical tape. Also, the leather rubbing can be annoying and I've read using leather conditioner helps
Other rattle might be coming from the top hatch. On either side of the hatch are rubber stoppers. Loosen the torx screw that holds the stopper and rotate the stopper 1/2 to 1 turn out, then re-tighten the screw.

thanks for the ideas...i'll try them out but its probablly going to be a while...it's too freakin cold here in NY...so i'll keep you posted.
X5 Rattle
[I have had a rattle for over 1 year. I have taken it in twice to be repaired and each time was told it was fixed. Not so. I think it comes from the hatchback and not the spare tire. My own feeling is that the hatchback is hung incorrectly or is out of alignment.
I had a rattle
in the rear of the car. I tracked it down to the trunk. It was actually the carpet on the left side. It had drooped away from the rear quarter panel and flopping against the side of the car when I would go over a series of small bumps.
I just got my X5 back from the dealer and they adjusted the catch so that the hatch closes tightly. I have to close it with a bit more force now...but it doesn't rattle at all, which has made a huge difference. It has taken a bit of practice to get it to close every time (a few times it has closed, but when I get back into the car the light on the dash is on indicating that it is open.) I have a feeling that the rattle will be back over time though....not sure why but it just seems like it may work itself loose again.
BTW..this was covered under my CPO warranty.
