Swansea 0-0 Aston Villa
- From the section Football
Swansea and Aston Villa played out a sombre 0-0 draw as the game was overshadowed by the death of Wales manager Gary Speed.
Speed, who won 85 caps for Wales, was found dead at his Cheshire home on Sunday morning.
A pre-match minute of silence at the Liberty Stadium spontaneously gave way to respectful applause and chants of "there's only one Gary Speed".
Substitute Leroy Lita had the game's best two chances for the hosts.
He fired wide with only Shay Given to beat with 20 minutes left, before the Villa goalkeeper saved well with his legs from Lita's close-range effort in the closing stages.
But the game seemed of secondary importance on an emotional day in south Wales.
Swansea's Joe Allen, Neil Taylor and Ashley Williams - as well as Villa's James Collins - had represented Speed's Wales squad, while Given, who played alongside Speed during his spell at Newcastle, was in tears prior to kick-off.
Substitute Jermaine Jenas also knew Speed from his spell with the Magpies, and Swans midfielder Leon Britton was signed by Speed during his time as manager of Sheffield United.
There were questions as to whether the game would go ahead, but Swansea confirmed less than an hour before the scheduled start time that it would be played at 1330 GMT as planned.
When it did begin, the Swans started brightly, mounting plenty of pressure on the visitors' goal. Scott Sinclair and Joe Allen both had efforts from the edge of the area blocked by a stubborn Villa defence.
But the away side soon settled and they forged a succession of chances, Gabriel Agbonlahor firing straight at Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm from 15 yards out, Richard Dunne heading over from close range and Agbonlahor sending another effort from the edge of the box just wide.
Agbonlahor's pace down Villa's right continued to cause problems for the hosts, who lost defender Angel Rangel midway through the first half.
And the away side felt they could have been awarded a penalty just prior to the interval when Emile Heskey appeared to head the ball against the arm of Williams in the Swansea box from Charles N'Zogbia's cross.
In the opening minutes of the second period, Fabian Delph's sweeping left-foot pass picked out the advancing Alan Hutton on the right-hand side and the Villa defender brought it down well on his chest before firing a right-foot volley just over the top.
The home team were dealt a blow soon after when in-form striker Danny Graham was forced off through injury, to be replaced by Lita.
Agbonlahor continued to be Villa's stand-out man as the game wore on, cutting in from the left before sending a fierce right-footed drive towards the top corner, which Vorm unconvincingly tipped just over the crossbar.
And Villa were beginning to boss proceedings with N'Zogbia, returning to the starting line-up in place of the injured Stiliyan Petrov, enjoying some space inside the Swans' half, and Delph, in for Carlos Cueller, grabbing the initiative for the visitors in the middle of the park.
But the hosts gradually came back in to it and they had the better chances to take all three points.
Lita was fed through by Mark Gower with 20 minutes left, turning Dunne before placing his side-foot effort just wide of Given's left-hand post from inside the box.
Shortly after, the ever-threatening Sinclair received the ball on the left and jinked beautifully past Alan Hutton before his goalbound shot was blocked by Collins.
Sinclair then fed Lita inside the area with 10 minutes to go, and the substitute got away from Dunne before his close-range effort was well saved by Given.
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers:
"I thought it was a massive respect to both teams in terms of the performance level they put on for the spectators.
"We wanted to play the game today for Gary Speed - he was such a good player and a great football man.
"Overall our performance level was excellent; just the final pass and the final shot to score the goal was missing but I was really proud of how we passed the ball and some of our movement."
Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish:
"It was devastating news for the whole of football and certainly for Gary Speed's family.
"We did try to use it as part of the motivation to say 'go and put on a spectacle for Speedo'.
"We played a very good Swansea team - they keep the ball well, they pass it well and I felt we only got penetrated in the last 10 or 15 minutes."

Victoria Beckham Glams Up the 2011 British Fashion Awards
She's always been a huge force in the fashion world, and Victoria Beckham was spotted arriving at the 2011 British Fashion Awards earlier tonight (November 28).
The former Spice Girl showed up at the Savoy Hotel and Theatre in London, England looking absolutely fabulous in a floor-length black halter-style gown as she posed for the paparazzi before heading inside.
And Victoria was more than just a mere spectator tonight - as she was up for a pair of awards while winning Designer Brand honors though she lost out on the Red Carpet Award to Stella McCartney.
At the nominee announcement ceremony earlier this year, British Fashion Council Chairman Harold Tillman proclaimed, "This year's nominees demonstrate the breadth and creativity London has to offer. The fashion brands and designers that are based here set the trends across the globe – the latest of which will be shown on the catwalk from Friday 16th September when the international fashion crowd will descend upon London for the start of Fashion Week. In addition, we are thrilled to be working alongside Save the Children on their Born to Walk Tall campaign, championed by our BFC Ambassador Samantha Cameron, this year."
Enjoy the pictures of Victoria Beckham at the 2011 British Fashion Awards (November 28).

Nexus - Ramez Naam
Nexus is a drug based on nano technology which in its most common form allows a sort of mind sharing between individuals who are close together. A team of young scientists cracks the Nexus communications protocol which lets them run their own software in Nexus, effectively creating a operating system to run software in the human brain.
Now what would a young man, who is perhaps a tad nervous around girls, do after discovering this revolutionary technology? Why not run a simulation of Peter North inside your head to help you score with a hot lady? This is exactly what Kaden Lane, one of the scientists, decided to do. A grown man, like me, would have run some more tests first to iron out the worst bugs, but we would have missed out on some gold comedy writing.
This is just one example of what Nexus is capable of. Kaden Lane and his fellow nerds are perhaps most fascinated by the ability to share their minds with each other, in effect creating a hive mind. Ramez Naam makes these sessions fascinating, to say the least, creating an experience which is both spaced out and emotional.
Kaden Lane and his group only see the benefits of Nexus whereas other powers see the potential for abuse, and the U.S. government already suspects the Chinese are using a similar technology for mind control. The young hackers are caught between some powerful players, who are all prepared to make any sacrifice to reach their goal. Kaden Lane is black mailed by the U.S. government to spy for them, and he is being carefully watched by a homeland security agent, Samantha Cataranes. She is equipped with the latest body enhancements, and while she might look like a slim, athletic woman, Samantha could easily punch through a wall and survive gunshot wounds. I don't think Neal Asher or Richard Morgan would be disappointed by agent Cataranes.
It's an interesting world Ramez Naam shows us. It might be early days for enhancing the human body, but it is mature enough for a black market, and it is already widely used by the military and the underworld. Nexus is arguing both for and against technologies which could make us less human. The people involved are all doing what they think is best, there is no evil present, just different points of view, and possibly too much dedication to a cause.
Nexus is a terrific read, covering a highly interesting topic in a entertaining way. It's a book brimming with action and gun fights, which also has a lot of technical content made accessible by Ramez Naam's skilful penmanship. Don't miss the chapter after the novel where the author explains the real world technologies which inspired Nexus.
Nexus weighs in at 448 pages, and is published by Angry Robot Books.

President Farish, Mrs. Farish, Trudy Coxe, members of the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, distinguished guests and parental units – and if I may do this without embarrassing her, my special friend, Mary Woodward – but most of all, members of the Class of 2012, good morning and I'm so happy to be with you.
I want to begin by thanking you for this invitation and to be here for the honorary degree, which I will treasure. As our graduates this morning can testify, a degree is indeed a precious thing that requires years of work and is hard to earn. So you can imagine how pleased I am to receive one just for showing up.
As a professor and the mother of three college graduates, I love academic surroundings and it's a special pleasure to visit this fine university. After all, Roger Williams is one of the rising universities in the Northeast featuring an outstanding new president, a host of options for study abroad, a commitment to community service, a beautiful waterfront campus and a Commencement process led by bagpipes. So, what's not to like? Especially on this amazingly gorgeous morning!
To the parents who are here, I suspect that your emotions are a little bit mixed. You feel both incredibly proud that this moment has finally arrived and yet also astonished at how brief the interval can seem between diapers and diplomas. To the alumni, today's ceremony will in fact bring back memories of your own college years, which in my case took place about halfway between the invention of the iPod and the discovery of fire.
But above all, this is an occasion to honor you, members of the Class of 2012. As the Commencement speaker, I feel a particular responsibility because I am the only obstacle remaining between you and your degrees.
Now the theory behind a Commencement address is that an older person will share the wisdom of his or her generation with the young based on the older generation's superior insight into life. I'm not sure that there's a young person alive who actually subscribes to this theory. In fact if I were sitting where you are today, I might well have some very serious questions.
For example, if older people are so smart, why haven't we done more to create good jobs so that this year's graduating class could look forward with less anxiety and more opportunity? Why have we stood by and allowed such an unconscionable gap to grow between rich and poor in our own country and overseas? Why in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence have we done so little to safeguard the environmental health of our planet? Why do our politicians so often remind us of kindergartners who refuse to share the swings? And why are older people in general so clueless about wireless communications?
It would be natural then, if in addition to the excitement of this graduation day, you're feeling a little sorry for yourselves because the world you're about to inherit is a troubled one. But to those who see this imperfect request as unfair, in the words of Bradley [Bermont, RWU Student Commencement Speaker], get over it! Every generation has its burdens.
In mine, we faced the possibility that Cold War tensions would bring us to the threshold of nuclear conflict. School children routinely practiced hiding under desks as if that would provide an effective shield against the deadly effects of radiation. At the same time, our country was only beginning to heed the call of a young Baptist minister who urged us to confront the ugly reality of racism. There followed years of struggle including Martin Luther King's tragic assassination, leaving behind both a challenge and a dream.
As for women back then, we were still expected to exist primarily as satellites of men. The United States had few women ambassadors, but they were all single. If they got married, they also got fired because it was thought that no woman could possibly cope with the twin duties of family and job. As you might suspect, this did affect my own options. Until long after I left college, I couldn't imagine ever becoming Secretary of State. And it's not that I lacked ambition – it's just that I'd never seen a Secretary of State in a skirt. Now, my youngest granddaughter, when she turned seven two years ago, said, "What's the big deal about Grandma Maddie being Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretary of State."
I mention this ancient history only to show that the Class of 2012 is far from unique. The human condition requires that we struggle. And whether you're an individual, a county or a generation, you will be tested and forced to choose your own path. But not every test or choice is the same.
Over the past four years, you have sharpened your capabilities, identified the areas of study that intrigued you the most, gained vast amounts of knowledge and become familiar with people who are much different from you, whether they live across the ocean or in a dorm room down the hall.
But you've also learned how to ask questions and acquired, I hope, an unquenchable thirst to learn more. Because the college degree you will soon receive is more a beginning than an end, recognizing less what you have already done than what you are now prepared to do.
It used to be that when coming of age most people had a fair idea of where they would live and what careers they would pursue, many following their parents' footsteps or finding a niche in a stable profession. However, today stability is an alien concept. In the past decade alone, many of the brand names that flourished when you were younger – from Toys 'R Us to Blockbuster and MySpace – have fallen under hard times. Meanwhile, such fields as law, business, engineering, healthcare, journalism and education are being transformed.
So as you look ahead, you realize that the demands of the workplace will continue to change and that maintaining a certain level of knowledge is no longer enough. Whether your primary goal is personal success, community service or a combination of the two, you will have to keep learning because there's always more to know. For this you should be grateful because the quest to learn more is a vital part of what it means to be alive.
It is what prompts us to look at an ocean and want to find ways to preserve the miracle of life within it. To create an innovative work of art that will excite experts and non-experts alike; to design a building in a style not previously attempted; or to develop fresh strategies for taking on the international axis of evil – poverty, ignorance and disease. The desire to do everything you can with the time you have will, if you let it, enable you to reach new frontiers no matter how far from home you actually travel. But as you explore the world in this era of constant change, I advise you also to bear in mind what does not change.
And here I must confess to feelings of envy. I teach at Georgetown University. Now, this is a great school but it was named for King George II – a pompous man who disliked books almost as much as he loathed children and whose only true love was the mirror. Roger Williams, on the other hand, was a spectacular human being, dedicated to the quest for truth, compassionate toward others and gutsy as they come. Because of his convictions he was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and compelled to flee alone in the midst of a January blizzard.
Now, it may be hard for us to relate to Roger Williams – we know him best as a statue or in portraits with his 17th century clothing and long white hair. So it might help to envision him as someone more familiar, perhaps Orlando Bloom in a starring role. Then we can picture him trudging through the wind and snow until being saved in the nick of time by Native Americans whose only language only he among other European settlers had bothered to learn.
We can observe him insisting that Massachusetts rightfully belonged to the Wampanoag and Narragansett, who were entitled to compensation for any land that was transferred. We can hear him declaring that no government could dictate to its citizens what to believe about matters of conscience and soul. And we can imagine him founding a colony of independent thinkers called Rhode Island, for a time the freest society on Earth.
Roger Williams could have pursued a comfortable life. Instead, by defying bigotry and despotism, he lived a memorable one. He never stopped asking questions nor did he ever fail to do right by others when pursuing his dreams. I can offer you no better model for living than that.
In closing, let me say to the Class of 2012 that is has not been my desire to place the weight of the world upon your shoulders, for that will always be your parents' job. But I do hope that when you accept your diplomas you will do so determined to make the most of life despite the problems handed down to you by my generation. And that you will use your learning and skills to keep pace with technology while also understanding that there is no technological answer to the tests that matter most.
I invite you to live each day with the knowledge that your actions and choices truly do count and that every challenge surmounted by your energy, every problem solved by your wisdom, every soul awakened by your passion and every barrier to justice brought down by your courage will inspire others and enrich your own journey on this Earth. Thank you very much for making me a member of your class.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Steve Sullivan scored the tying goal in the third period, and James Neal and Evgeni Malkin connected in the first two rounds of a shootout to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to their eighth straight victory, 2-1 over the Florida Panthers on Friday night.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots and was perfect in the shootout for his 36th victory of the season, putting him one behind Nashville's Pekka Rinne for the NHL lead.
The Penguins extended the league's longest active winning streak by overcoming a third-period deficit for the eighth time this season, tied with Tampa Bay for the most in the league.

Thomas Fleischmann scored his 21st goal of the season for Florida, and Jose Theodore made 33 saves but the goaltender was outclassed in the shootout by Neal and Malkin, who easily beat Theodore over his glove on wrist shots.
Pittsburgh has been arguably the best team in the league since its last game against Florida, a 4-1 victory on the road Jan. 13 that snapped a six-game losing streak and propelled the Penguins to an eight-game tear.
Pittsburgh was supposed to be refreshed following a welcomed day off, yet the Panthers were the ones who appeared to be a step ahead at times. They held the high-flying Penguins in check for most of the night and stayed out of the penalty box.
Fleischmann opened the scoring midway through the second period on a give-and-go of sorts. The left winger worked the boards and fed Wojtek Wolski in the slot before darting to the net. Wolski's shot went wide of the goal and took a big bounce off the boards and onto Fleishmann's stick. Fleury never had a chance and the Panthers had the lead.
It lasted until early in the third period when Jordan Staal created a turnover and fed the streaking Sullivan. The veteran slipped the puck by Theodore for his 14th goal of the season.
The Penguins appeared to move in front with 11:07 to play in regulation when Pascal Dupuis stuffed the puck by Theodore. The goal was waved off following a review, with officials ruling the puck didn't go all the way over the red goal line before Theodore swiped it out of danger.
Pittsburgh had several chances to end it before the shootout, none better than Staal's wide-open rebound that somehow flew over the net.
No matter, Malkin and Neal continued their superb work in shootouts, easily handling Theodore to prevent the goalie from picking up his 21st career victory against the Penguins.
Red Wings 4, Kings 3
DETROIT (AP) — Darren Helm scored with 1:13 left in regulation, lifting the banged-up Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.
Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg scored twice and assisted on Valtteri Filppula tying goal with 4:02 left, less than 2 minutes after Dwight King put Los Angeles ahead 3-2.
Joey MacDonald made 21 saves for the Red Wings. Jonathan Quick stopped just 11 shots for the Kings.
Los Angeles pulled Quick to have an extra skater and had a 6-on-4 advantage on a power play with 23.2 seconds left and a faceoff in the Detroit end. The Kings got the puck, but MacDonald stopped Jeff Carter's shot with 15.2 seconds left and they could not get another shot on net.
Detroit had lost five of seven to slip behind Western Conference and Central Division-leading St. Louis.
Blackhawks 4, Rangers 3
CHICAGO (AP) — Defenseman Johnny Oduya scored his first goal for Chicago with 5:56 left in the third period to snap a tie in the Blackhawks' 4-3 comeback victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night.
Chicago handed the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers their third straight loss and fourth in five games.
Oduya connected from the left point with a shot that sailed past Henrik Lundqvist on the glove side to give Chicago a 3-2 lead, its first of the game. Oduya was acquired from Winnipeg just before the trade deadline.
Patrick Kane added an empty-net goal with 53 seconds left to make it 4-2. It stood up as the winner after New York's Brad Richards connected from the left circle 8 seconds later.
Chicago's Patrick Sharp scored 1:02 before Oduya to cap a nifty passing play with Marian Hossa and Kane, and tie it at 2. Rookie Andrew Shaw also scored to help Chicago win for the third time in four games.
Artem Anisimov and Brandon Prust also scored for New York.
Flames 5, Jets 3
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Miikka Kiprusoff made 42 saves to help the Calgary Flames beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-3 on Friday night in a showdown between teams fighting for playoff spots.
Kiprusoff improved to 30-19-8, reaching 30 victories for the seventh straight season.
Alex Tanguay had a goal and three assists, and Jarome Iginla added a goal and two assists for the Flames.
Mark Giordano, Matt Stajan and Curtis Glencross also scored.
The Flames picked up five out of a possible six points on a three-game homestand to move into a three-way tie for ninth in the Western Conference with Colorado and Los Angeles, one point behind eighth-place San Jose.

opinions on the ACC Boss Hog converter?
anybody here have any experiences with the ACC "Boss Hog" torque converters? I put in a B&M holeshot and can't tell any difference from the stock converter. the guy at the local tranny shop looked at it and told me my converter was nothing special, it was just a p6, whatever that is. anyways, I am pretty disgusted with the B&M so far as the money I put out and the performance I didn't get. I'm looking at a 3600 stall ACC, but they are considerably cheaper than the B&M, not that this is a bad thing. anyone have any experiences good or bad with them? if it matters the car is a lemans (kinda heavy I spose) 455, powerglide and 4:10 rears.
ive used 4 of them in a 68 camaro and a 86 pickup t0 a 68 elcamino.they have all worked great.i cant tell any difference between them and the high dollar convertors. it appears as though acc has the hot rodders in mind that have other obligations to spend their money on besides their cars. i would call them and tell them your combo and see wich one they suggest. they havent steered me wrong yet. also dont forget to run a auxillery cooler.

New York, Sept. 16 (ANI): French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has stirred fresh controversy after illustrators from the publication were criticised on social media for mocking Europe's response to the migrant crisis with cartoons of dead Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey this month, prompting an outpour of sympathy for refugees.
According to The New York Times, the latest edition of the magazine focused on the image of the young boy's body as it was discovered, face down on a Turkey beach.
However, two of the cartoons, deviated from their context, were condemned by angry commentators in England, the United States and elsewhere as images that mocked the dead boy.
Meanwhile an Egyptian artist Ganzeer argued that the cartoons were not mocking the boy, but Europe. (ANI)

Seriously though. I would buy it, and it would make it worth A) having a landline again, or B) carrying around a briefcase for it.
Geez. I actually have one of those 1915 vintage candlestick phones in my store room. That would be a fine mod!
But I can assure you that the audio quality is terrible. It sounds like you're talking through a Dixie cup.
sparkfun already makes something like it.

HP Pavilion dv7-6163cl
REVIEW DATE : October 31, 2011
PROS: Strong quad-core performance. Switchable graphics provide strong 3D performance and help increased battery life. Sleek and strong aluminum chassis. Beats Audio delivers outstanding sound. Two-year warranty.
Why mess with success? Like the model that preceded it, the HP Pavilion dv7-6163cl is a well-designed and powerful 17.3-inch media center laptop that delivers big audio, a big battery, and a bigger-than-average two year warranty. An update to the Editors' Choice HP Pavilion dv7-6143cl, we reviewed earlier this year, the Pavilion dv7-6163cl gets a slight CPU upgrade and more hard drive capacity while shaving $50 off the price. The rest of the feature set remains unchanged, though, oddly, Bluetooth goes missing. Available at Costco for $949.99, the HP Pavilion dv7-6163cl retains the Editors' Choice award the previous model earned. We think it offers the best combination of design and performance and support of any media center laptop that costs less than $1,000.
The Pavilion dv7-6163cl tips the scales at 7.4 pounds. There isn't a 17.3-inch media center that you'd want to take on your daily commute, but the preceding Pavilion dv7-6123cl was a little lighter at 7 pounds. The weight discrepancy is likely due to the second hard drive found in the dv7-6163cl. And if you are looking to save even more weight, the Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320 ($849.99, 3.5 stars) is a relatively svelte 6.6 pounds.
The Pavilion dv7's keyboard features chiclet-style keys and dedicated number pad, but no backlighting. There are no dedicated media control keys; play/pause, fast forward, rewind, and volume functions are located on the row of F keys. They are reversed mapped, however, so you don't have to hold the Function button to pause a track, for example, or mute the volume.
Below the keyboard is a large, responsive touchpad with two dedicated mouse buttons. In contrast to the soft feel of the keyboard, the two mouse buttons feel thin and cheap and create a fairly loud clack when pressed. The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures such as two-finger scrolling and pinch zooming. Many times multi-touch gestures can be jumpy, but we found that not to be the case here; two-finger scrolling, for example, was smooth and accurate.
The 17.3-inch display features a 1,600-by-900 resolution, which is what you'll find on similarly priced and sized models, such as the Dell Inspiron 17R-3530DBK ($879.99 list 3.5 stars), HP Pavilion dv7-6123cl, and Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320. For true HD (1080p) you'll need to pony up for a larger 18.4-model, like the Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839 ($1,499.99 street, 4 stars) or a much pricier 17.3-inch model, such as the Sony VAIO VPC-F215FX/BI ($1,799 direct, 4 stars). Movie trailers played in 720p on Apple's site looked crisp on the Pavilion dv7-6163cl and loaded quickly. An HD Webcam sits above the display that can capture video up to a resolution of 1,280-by-800.
The ports remain unchanged from the model we reviewed this past summer. There's a pair USB 3.0 ports on the left side, and a pair of USB 2.0 ports on the right. Also on the left side are HDMI and VGA video ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a mic jack and two headphone jacks. A tray-loading DVD burner sits on the right side along with the power connection. We were hoping a Blu-ray player might have been added this time around but, alas, it remains on our wish list. The Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320 costs less and features a Blu-ray drive (though it lags in other areas, namely graphics). On the front edge resides a media card reader that supports the SD and MMC formats. The Pavilion dv7-6163cl also features a fingerprint readeran unusual choice for a laptop designed for home use. It's located on the right side of the wrist rest below the number pad.
Wirelessly connectivity comprises of 802.11n Wi-Fi and Intel's Wireless Display 2.0 (WiDi 2.0), which lets you wirelessly stream the laptop's contents to an HDTV (provided you buy the Netgear Push2TV adapter for your HDTV, a $99 extra, to receive the signal). Bluetooth, which was present on the previous Pavilion dv7-6143cl, is absent on the Pavilion dv7-6163cl.
One area where the Pavilion dv7-6163cl offers improvement from its predecessor is hard drive capacity. The Pavilion dv7-6143cl featured a 750GB hard drive, while the Pavilion dv7-6163cl serves up two 500GB hard drives for a full 1TB of storage space. And we must applaud HP for refraining from using some of this capacious capacity for bloatware. Other than a handful of free games, in which you may or may not have an interest and a desktop shortcut encouraging you to "Discover HP webOS," the laptop features software that provides utility. Cyberlink YouCam is on board for use with the Webcam, and HP's SimplePass 2011 works with the fingerprint reader. Other HP utilities include Recovery Manager for creating backups and restoring your system and CoolSense to keep the CPU running smoothly.
As a Costco model, the Pavilion dv7-6163cl comes backed with a two-year warranty instead of the usual one year of coverage. Also, Costco's Concierge Service provides members with troubleshooting and setup help.
On PCMark 7, the Pavilion dv7-6163cl's score of 2,438 points topped the Core i7-2630QM-based Dell Inspiron 17R-3530DBK's score of 2,368. On our Photoshop CS5 test, the dv7-6163cl's time of 3 minutes 37 seconds was 15 seconds faster than the dv7-6143cl (3:52). And with a time of 1:30, the dv7-6163cl finished our Handbrake benchmark 7 seconds faster than the dv7-6143cl (1:37). Its Cinebench R11.5 score of 5.32 was also a bit better than the older model (4.97).
There were similar upticks in 3D testing. On 3DMark06 at a resolution of 1,024-by-768, the Pavilion dv7-6163cl scored a 12,050 to the dv7-6143cl's score of 10,983. On our Crysis (DirectX 10) benchmark run at 1,024-by-768, the dv7-6163cl averaged 52.9 frames per second (fps) to the dv7-6143cl's 50.4 fps.
The Pavilion dv7-6163cl takes a slight step back, however, with battery life. Perhaps powering a faster CPU and not one but two hard drives reduced its MobileMark 2007 score. Using a 9-cell (100Wh) battery, the dv7-6163cl ran for 8 hours 24 seconds on the test. By comparison, the dv7-6143cl ran for nearly an hour longer, with a time of 9 hours 13 minutes. Still, the Pavilion dv7-6163cl is one of the better options compared to other media center laptops, like the Acer AS8950G-9839 (5:22) and Toshiba P775-S7320 (5:04).
Because it makes so few sacrifices as a sub-$1,000 do-it-all media center laptop, the HP Pavilion dv7-6163cl earns itself the Editors' Choice award. It made some small strides by upgrading the CPU and lowering the price by $50. If you are looking for an affordable quad-core desktop replacement that delivers strong application and 3D performance, long battery life, and booming audio inside a stylish and sturdy enclosure, look no further than the HP Pavilion dv7-6163cl, our new Editors' Choice for media center laptops.

I think broken hairs can be white on the tip. I remember when I used to flat iron every day there would often be a broken area in the hair shaft, which I could just snap by pulling lightly.
It can be hard to tell if your hair is breaking off with it curly... when it is straightened you might have a lot of flyaways that are shorter than the rest of your hair.

Rakesh and Vimmi are determined to leave the small-towns where they grew up, and make it big in the city. But when their plans go wrong, they forge a career as con artist folk heroes.
It's well-nigh impossible to review a Bollywood movie by any rational standard, and this is no exception. The plot - Bonnie-and-Clyde-meets-Robin-Hood - is nonsensical; the tone veers wildly between melodrama, action and broad comedy; emotions are not so much acted as pantomimed; and the song-and-dance numbers call to mind German Eurovision entries circa 1984.
Still, there is fun to be had here. The leads throw themselves into their whiny, lazy characters to occasionally hilarious effect, and their heists and cons are carried out with all the panache of Ocean's however-many. Despite the near-three-hour running time, it's well paced - except for the dance numbers which are interminable. But it remains difficult to take any movie seriously when the lead actor still thinks having a quiff and dancing like Elvis is the height of cool.
There are laughs to be had, but for the most part you're laughing at not with the characters.

you're probably going to have trouble taking the convolution of those
two functions since their integrals diverge. convolution of f and g is
defined as:
convolution[f_,g_,x_] := Integrate[f(y)*g(x-y),y]
you can plot convolution[Func1,Func2,x] like any other function.
1) convolution is also the inverse fourier transform of the product of
the fourier transforms of the f and g
2) use the discretized approximation Sum[f[x]*g[x],{x,-M,M}] where M is
a large number. if you use this method, it's probably much faster to
build up a list (with Table) to represent the convolution over a
specific interval at a specific gridsize...then use ListPlot to plot

I was born and brought up in the city of Patna which stands on the bank of river Ganga. It has been 10 years now living away from this place but I have memories of playing with the sand on the banks of this river. Today when I came to know about the newly started tourism initiative "Ganga Vihar – The Floating Restaurant of Patna", I did not want to miss the chance to have a ride. Its not that first time I was to experience a ship cruise but it was first time at the place where I grew up. I was curious to check out the new destination on the tourist map of the city.
Ganga Vihar – The Floating Restaurant
Gandhi Ghat along River Ganges
Driving through the narrow lanes of Ashok Rajpath we reached Gandhi Ghat behind NIT Patna. There was a ship with the label M.V Ganga Vihar parked on the bank. The lower deck has a small restaurant with seating facilities. Its not a fully operating restaurant as of now but you can have some snack and coffee while enjoying the evening cruise.
Evening view of Ganga from the Cruise
The cruise starts at fixed time and it goes through other ghats till the famous Mahatma Gandhi Setu. The depressing thing is that the water is not clear or pristine as it should be. You can see how much polluted the river is. So if you just want to enjoy, don't look into the water and just enjoy the silence of the Ganga.
If you opt for the last cruise you can also enjoy the Ganga Aarti which happens every evening at the Gandhi Ghat. Enjoy a small video of the aarti (don't mind the low quality video. This is a first attempt on the video)
Ganga Aarti at Gandhi Ghat
So next time when you are in Patna you can have an experience of this cruise along the ghats of Ganga.

Kelly Hu is bringing some evil to Starling City on Wednesday night as she makes her debut as China White on The CW's "Arrow."
The actress, who was last seen on The CW in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 3 (as Pearl), was actually handpicked for the crime vixen role by executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, who previously wrote for the character while penning "The Green Arrow and Black Canary" for DC Comics.
PLAY IT NOW: Stephen Amell Aims For Justice In Arrow
Flattered to have been asked to bring to life a bad, bad woman who encounters Stephen Amell's Arrow while trying to take out prosecutor Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) for an associate, Kelly headed to Vancouver (where the show is shot), familiarized herself with knives and brushed up on her own martial arts background.
A big fight scene between the two characters will occur in Wednesday's episode, one of the many things she spoke about with AccessHollywood.com.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Scenes & Stars From The CW's Arrow
AccessHollywood.com: You said Andrew called you directly about this part. How did he sell the role?
Kelly Hu: He didn't even have to sell it (laughs). I was like, the new Green Arrow? China White? Sure!
Access: She has an out-of-Starling City background with Oliver Queen/Arrow, but I imagine they changed that for the show, because the previews show you in his town, in present time.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Arrow Star Stephen Amell
Kelly: They haven't really touched on the background in the show, so I think it's still pretty open as to how they would know each other or if they even know each other. It doesn't even touch on that yet. But I have a feeling there's gonna be some stuff coming up later.
Access: A few weeks ago, Stephen told us he was so excited because while shooting with you he got to speak Mandarin.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Sexy Ladies Of Sci-Fi
Kelly: Yeah! He did really well too (laughs). He's just amazing. This guy can do anything. He's so athletic and he's just so smart, like he really could be this character. If Stephen actually got abandoned on an island for five years, I would not doubt that he would come out as Arrow (laughs).
Access: How are we going to find you fitting into the drama this week?
Kelly: [On Wednesday,] my character gets shown for the first time. I'm so excited... I am actually part of the Triads, the Chinese mobsters, and I am sort of the right-hand man to the bad guy... Gosh, it's so hard to know exactly how much I'm allowed to say, but there is an amazing fight scene with me and Stephen that happens in this silo and it's really, really well done.
Access: Will we have a really good sense of who China White is at the end of the second episode?
Kelly: I think it's still gonna be a bit of a mystery because it's still a mystery even to me (laughs) exactly what her background is. I'm only told what I need to be told and that's about it.
Access: Did you get to use a much of your martial arts background for the fight scenes?
Kelly: Yeah, I did. Just a little bit. It's been quite a while since I've had to do martial arts. I did a little bit on 'Breakout Kings' and that was actually the last time that I had to do a fight in a while. It's been years, actually, so it had to come back to me. This kind of stuff, if you don't use it you lose it, so, it's been quite a trip to try and get back into shape and back into fighting form, but I have amazing stunt women (laughs).
Access: Does this fight scene go on for a little while?
Kelly: It's a pretty lengthy fight scene, pretty significant, especially for TV, because you can't take up like five minutes of fighting on-screen because a show is only 40 minutes. But yeah, it's a pretty complicated fight and pretty vicious as well.
Access: I hope you leave him in a bit of pain and with a few more scars.
Kelly: Right!?! (laughs) I have these really cool curved knives I use, which was something I had to start [practicing] with, twirling them around my fingers... I got to take them home... and play around in my hotel room with these knives. They went flying everywhere (laughs).
Access: You get to be, basically, the first real signature villain from the comics on the show. Exciting?
Kelly: It is. To tell you the truth, I didn't really know a whole lot about the Green Arrow.
Access: I suppose it's fair to say he's not the most popular character from the brand. (DC also has Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.)
Kelly: And that's, I think, what makes it so interesting too. It's a real introduction for a lot of people. And the cool thing about him, it's not like he's got super powers... He's a real guy who spent a lot of time alone (laughs), and developed these insane skills with a bow and arrow and martial arts and stuff like that, so he's not indestructible. And everybody on the show is sort of the same way. It's not like people come in with these superpowers, they just have super refined skills.
Access: You're coming back after this week's episode?
Kelly: I do, I come back for a few episodes...I know that we had fantastic ratings last week when we opened, so hopefully we can keep it up and we'll get more episodes to do this season and they'll bring me back for more.
Access: So she can really be a thorn in his side then!
Kelly: I plan to (laughs).
Access: Did you get to spend much time with Stephen aside from the on-screen work?
Kelly: I [did] and he's lovely. Really, really a lovely guy and we spent a lot of time just talking and I liked talking to him about the newness of it all because although he's very confident and everything, this is all quite a new game for him.
Access: It's his first real breakout role.
Kelly: Yeah, first thing and I've had a lot of friends on other shows (Maggie Q, Ian Somerhalder)... and I just know that The CW is great and they have such amazing, dedicated fans and so I know that he's gonna be worked really hard and have such a great following and he's gonna get to go to all of these press junkets and everyone is gonna know who he is. He's got that star quality. He's gonna be around for a while.
"Arrow" airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.

In addition, infection of a fetus in the first 150 days of pregnancy can give rise to a persistently infected calf that sheds the virus for life. This is a major means of dissemination of the virus to naïve animals and herds. BVDV is lymphotrophic and acute infection results in depletion of lymphoid tissues, even with BVDV strains of low virulence. The limited in vitro studies of host cell response done to date were performed in epithelial cells and compared cytopathic and noncytopathic strains without regard to virulence in vivo. Our research has shown that cytopathology in vitro does not correlate with virulence in vivo. We are taking a functional genomics approach, using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), to determine the molecular events that take place in the infected lymphoid cells that contribute to the disease syndromes observed in vivo. SAGE is a powerful technology that allows quantitation of transcripts in cells and direct comparisons between libraries and experiments. For these studies, we used the B-cell lymphosarcoma cell line BL-3 and compared virus strains of differing virulence (virulence was based on previous in vivo studies). To date, we have constructed and sequenced SAGE libraries from mRNA derived from non-infected cells, as well as cells infected with high and low virulence BVDV strains. Data analysis is ongoing. Preliminary results from the non-infected cells showed the normal metabolism of these cells with corresponding gene expression levels. When compared to results from BVDV-infected cells, a remodeling of cellular functions was observed that reflected changes that, overall, benefited the replication of the virus. These effects included changes in protein translation, transport and ER processing, intracellular signaling, and some important housekeeping functions. Also observed was a decline in expression of proteins that are involved in detoxification, particularly reactive oxygen species. Some of these changes have suggested new lines of research that should lead to elucidation of the mechanism(s) behind immunosuppression and viral persistence.

"This card is great! I chose to have my front photo in black and white so it really made the colors of the hearts stand out. Can't wait to hand out these sweet cards."
"I ordered these for my daughter to give to her friends. They are adorable and the perfect size. I like that they don't have a "to:" line, so she can pass them out without having to fill in specific names first. One will make a cute keepsake for me too."
"I just received these cards today & I was so delightfully surprised at how small they are. I must not have read the sizing & assumed they were going to be a 4x6" they are approx 2x3" didn't measure though. They are perfect for what I got them for: my daughter's class valentines & for her doctors & nursing staff. The come with high quality little envelopes perfect for giving. I also was able to add a picture inside & edit the words, colours, font & sizing. Also I was so happy to receive them a day earlier than the earliest expected to Canada on regular shipping. So glad I ordered early enough as I had really needed them to be on time. I will definitely plan to order tiny prints again for next year."
"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Yes I have the old version and after reading the advice given here today I went back and tried a few things, sure enough there is some improvement but still a lot to be desired. I understand drill point geometry and have been sharpening bits for years freehand by using a good grinder and a point gauge, as I said earlier I still prefer this method for bits over 1/4" but much smaller than that can be hit or miss. In any case I have the darn thing and it would be a neat tool for any bit if I can get it to work properly.
Truth of the matter is I am finding myself needing a magnifier these days to see what I am doing when sharpening any bit , so it would be nice if it can be made to work.
drill doctor.
I had a problem when one of the iron workers tried to use mine. and had the chuck come apart. I was at a show and the rep showed me how to put my old one back together. I have sharpened hundreds of bits with It. When we built a 40 X 120 , 16 ft sides metal building I kept the iron workers in sharp bits and they were very happy. For large drill bits I use an old general sharpener against a 10 inch sanding dist on my combination 6 X 48 belt sander disc combo tool, then manually cut the back relief on the belt sander.

|That's fine - if you have a newer version. Unfortunately what Oldred is describing is on an older version which doesn't have the adjustable settings like that - or at least mine doesn't at about the same 10 year old age. Everything beyond the built in setting is a guestimate with the older version
Hope We can Help!

Thanks for letting me barge in.
|Yes leave the bit loose, loose enough to rotate so that the fingers can grab it, position it and draw it to the stop. Then tighten collect. Great tool easy to use, mindless really.
|Don't feel bad, I borrowed a "Drill Doctor" and had the same experience. Maybe I'm just really stupid but the directions were worthless to me also. After a couple of drills I took a deep breath and gave it back to my friend......who couldn't use it either.
|Irelands child
Aren't they FUN!!
I had about the same problem but after trial and error "figured out" a little trick.
Since all drills are not the same as far as spiral, you have to juggle the settings when those two adjusting fingers move in to the cutout/spiral. Holding the drill bit after doing the initial setting and just snugging the collet down, rotate the bit as you look at the non cutting end. Go a degree or two by guess clock wise. What that does is move the drill heel to a negative angle against the sharpening wheel and therefore lower then the cutting edge. I only give the point a thinning cut (split point) if it's 135* and 3/8" or larger - but that's an eyeball cut and usually wont be worth a dam' as it's usually inconsistent, side to side. IMO.
And as always, it works for me and am happy with my 'gadget'

Drill Doctor
I have a new/old Drill Doctor (750), I say new/old because it's new from lack of use but about 10 years old-that's how long it's been gathering dust in my shop. I can't get the thing to work, I watched the "how-to" video that came with it and that thing is just a joke, I have tried every setting it has but so far it's been useless. If I grind a bit so that the point is right the relief will be wrong, grind it so the relief is right and the point won't cut. It will grind a good cutting edge with the proper relief that will drill like a new bit IF there is a small pilot hole drilled first but if the point is ground correctly there is not enough relief for it to drill properly and the bit will get hot. I have for many years sharpened bits by hand and actually prefer this method on 1/4" or larger but anything smaller is more a matter of luck than anything else, besides if I could get it to work properly it would be a neat tool to have. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated but at this point I am considering a big hammer and a trash can!

Hi guys!
I can't seem to find a way to view a bitmap's restricted color pallette in PS7. Is there a way ?
Also, when I edit some colors I'd like PS7 to show me if those are inside or outside the current choice of colors, or correct the 'out of pallette' colors for me.......is there's any way to do this too ?
Problem is, I'm working on some textures within a restricted pallette and I have to correct some colors, but it seems that PS7 saves the new colors in the pallette without asking.
Thanks a lot!

With the transfer window finally closed and with Newcastle now having 9 new players in the squad we thought it might be a good time to conduct a poll to see where Newcastle fans think the club will end up in the league this season.
Most of us thought top 8 would be great, because that will put us back into Europe. However, it may be that some fans think we can even do better than that given the acquisition of some good players in the summer, especially defenders.
As we all know defense has been our big weakness for at least 10 years.
Sam Allardcye – probably wants to keep expectations low – we don't blame him
Just as a reminder and a level set these are the positions we have finished in over the last 4 seasons with the number of points and the manager at the time
Season Pos Points Manager 2006-2007 12th 43 Roeder 2005-2006 7th 58 Roeder 2004-2005 14th 44 Souness 2003-2004 5th 56 Robson
We'll have six overall positions Bottom 10, Top 10, Top 8, Top 6, Top 4, Top 2

In-Line Microphone item created by A1945, Aug 8, 2012
Pros - Strong bass, durable, good length cord
Cons - Ear pads are stiff when new, connector doesn't work with everything
First let me say that I LOVE these phones, the have awesome bass, decent mids and tamed highs which is what I like, if you're someone who likes sparkling highs, these aren't for you. These also work very well if you are like me and wear your headphones on the back of your neck.
A couple things I don't like, the connector has the 3 rings on it so that when you connect it to a phone it will power the in-line microphone but this kind of prevents it from operating on older equipment. I have an 11 year old Sony CD Walkman and this headphone will not work with this Walkman because the connector is made for modern devices.
The other thing is the ear pads were horribly stiff when I first got them, so much so that I switched therm out for a pair of pads off a pair of Panasonic's I had, after doing this it made them quite comfortable to wear.
Long and short of this is I would highly recommend these to someone who loves bass heavy headphones.

In early August Electronic Arts filed a lawsuit against social gaming giant Zynga for its new Facebook game The Ville.
[More from Mashable: Despite Zuckerberg, Facebook is Still 'Bullish' on HTML5]
"The copying was so comprehensive that the two games are, to an uninitiated observer, largely indistinguishable," said Lucy Bradshaw, General Manager of Maxis (the EA subsidiary that produces all Sims games) said at the time.
Zynga finally responded to the claim Friday -- by accusing EA of copying Activision's Little Computer People when it created The Sims to begin with. It also accuses EA of copying Zynga when it comes to social games.
[More from Mashable: Dr Pepper Facebook Ad Ignites Evolution Debate]
"Zynga's YoVille, released in 2008, three years before The Sims Social, was the first commercially viable life simulation game on Facebook, " Zynga says in court papers filed Friday. "YoVille allowed players to: customize a virtual avatar by selecting its skin color, facial features, hair color, hair style, and clothing; decorate and arrange furniture within a virtual home; work a virtual job; and socialize with other players by visiting them and sending them virtual gifts. "
Zynga adds, "In other words, it was Activision—not EA—that first developed the ideas found in The Sims Social, and it was Zynga—not EA—that first brought the concept to Facebook."
In a CNN interview in 2000, Sim's creator Will Wright acknowledged playing Little Computer People, and receiving "valuable feedback" on the game from its creator Rich Gold.
Zynga claims that EA actualy copied it when it started making social games for Facebook, noting that EA's SimCity Social was launched a year and a half after Zynga's CityVille.
"A side-by-side comparison of Zynga's CityVille and EA's SimCity Social shows that EA draws heavily on elements found in Zynga's CityVille game. In fact, in promoting its game, EA explicitly played on Zynga's popular CityVille: "More City, Less Ville."
EA's lawsuit against Zynga regarding The Ville isn't the first time the company has been accused of copying games. The company often releases games that are exceptionally similar to other popular games on the market. FarmVille, for instance, was released after a similar game Farm Town took Facebook by storm.
The company acknowledged that tradition in Friday's court filing.
"Zynga did not achieve its success in the social gaming sphere by launching games that users don't want to play. It achieved its success by innovating in popular genres, a tradition it has continued with The Ville."
What do you think? Is EA or Zynga in the right? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
1. Bejeweled vs. Ruby Blast
The genre of "match three" games is largely uninventive — plenty of games have tried to put various spins on the same puzzle concept. But Zynga's Ruby Blast (right) borrows very heavily from one gameplay mode in PopCap's popular game, Bejeweled. In Bejewled's "Diamond Mine" mode, you need to match groups of three or more gems to dig deeper into a mine to explore for buried treasure. The further you dig successfully, more time is added to your clock. Ruby Blast, released just two weeks ago, employs this same gameplay technique: Players search for buried treasure to increase their experience, and race against the clock to dig deeper into a mine.

HELENA - Some of the fish inhabiting the East Fork of the Bull River in northwestern Montana would be captured and moved, under a plan designed to help two sensitive fish species.
The proposal advanced by energy company Avista Corp., and supported by federal and state agencies, calls for the capture of brook trout and brown trout in a nearly two-mile stretch of the East Fork near Noxon. Hundreds of fish would be moved to the main Bull River several miles away.
The goal is to help populations of native bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout in the lower Clark Fork River and its tributaries, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said. The bull trout is on the federal threatened species list, and westslope cutthroat is classified in Montana as a species of special concern. Brook and brown trout, which are introduced species, compete with them. For both bull trout and westslope cutthroat, the East Fork is an important area for spawning.
''We're trying to enhance native fish,'' said Joe DosSantos of Avista's aquatic program. ''Sometimes we need to make more room for them, and this is one way to do it. You can only fit so many beans in the jar.''
The fish project is part of an agreement for the federal licensing of the Cabinet Gorge Dam in Idaho and Noxon Rapids Dam in Montana. They are part of the power generating system run by Avista, based in Spokane, Wash. Avista supplies power to customers in northern Idaho.
An environmental assessment of the project was released last month and public comment will be taken Tuesday at a meeting in Noxon. Avista, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Fish, Wildlife and Parks plan to have representatives there.
The Avista office in Noxon is accepting written comment until May 22.
Project managers say the work, first proposed a couple of years ago and sidelined for further research, would begin this summer and continue until about 2013.
Some of the fish would be captured by placing a fence of sorts across the East Fork to force them into traps, and others would be gathered after receiving electric shocks.
Concerns the project has raised include its effect on recreational fishing. Project managers say anglers would have the opportunity to catch brook and brown trout moved to the main Bull River, and eventually would have an increased population of westslope cutthroat trout for angling in the East Fork.

Heir-apparent's hair's apparent in North Korea capital
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean heir-apparent Kim Jong-un's slicked-back, high-sided haircut is a fashion hit in Pyongyang where young men are apparently queuing up for a similar cut.
Kim, believed to be in his late 20s and known as the "Young General," is packaged to look like his late grandfather, the secretive state's founder, Kim Il-sung.
The chubby youngest son of the current leader, Kim Jong-il, slicks his hair back at the top, and has it trimmed to the scalp to about an inch above the ears.
Completing the Kim Il-sung look, which experts say is designed to help win over the public's support for dynastic succession, the young Kim wears dark Mao-style suits.
The young Kim's haircut is dubbed a "youth" or "ambition" hairstyle in North Korea, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper has reported.
Earlier this week, North Korean state news agency KCNA quoted barber An Su-gil as saying the short-cut, medium-cut and square-cut hairstyles are now popular among young men.
North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun wrote in September that neat and short hair for young people makes them "captivating."
"A young man with (an) ambitious high sided haircut looks so sobering and stylish," the paper added.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said that North Korean young men prefer short hairstyle for sanitary reasons, not just because they want to look neat and ambitious. Continued...

Mayor Annise Parker named Nicole Casarez, University of St. Thomas professor of communication, to be a founding member of the Board of Directors for the proposed Houston Forensic Science Local Government Corporation, which will oversee the new crime lab the city is forming to be independent from the Houston Police Department.
"I'm honored to have been nominated by the mayor," Casarez said. "The other members of the board are stellar in their accomplishments and I'm humbled to be a part of this team. This is a real step forward for the city Houston."
The proposed Houston Forensic Science Center LGC will provide the city and area communities with accurate and timely analysis of forensic evidence and related services.
"The people I have selected have varied backgrounds in science, law enforcement, public policy, business and defense of the accused," Mayor Parker said. "Their perspective will be invaluable as we proceed forward toward my goal of a crime lab that is truly independent from law enforcement, prosecutors and political influence."
The City Council is expected to confirm the formation of the nine-member board at its meeting on June 6.
Casarez is an attorney and teaches journalism, media law, public relations and media ethics at UST. Her investigative journalism students have investigated many capital and non-capital cases, including the case of Texas death row inmate Anthony Graves, which garnered state-wide and national attention when he was found innocent after 18 years in prison.

Canada's Winter Olympics Campaign Highlights The Spirit Of The North
The #WeAreWinter campaign goes in-depth into the Canadian national athletic identity.
As the beginning of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia approaches, Canada, with the help of Toronto-based agency Proximity Canada, is throwing its support behind its winter athletes with a high-octane campaign featuring 17 Sochi medal hopefuls, including Kaillie Humphries, Mark McMorris and Mikaël Kingsbury, as well as some all-star voiceovers: four-time Olympian and Lillehammer 1994 Olympic gold medallist Jean-Luc Brassard and Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic gold medallist, Steve Yzerman. The first 60-second spot aired nationally during CBC's coverage of the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic® on January 1 on CBC-TV and online at cbcsports.ca, and the campaign will continue to broadcast until the games begin.
"The essence of this campaign originated from conversations with our athletes who all said the same thing: Winter defines them and defines who we are as a country," said Derek Kent, Chief Marketing Officer, Canadian Olympic Committee. "We wanted to inspire Canadians by showcasing the drive, determination and grit of our athletes as they train for the Olympic Games. We wanted Canadians to really get to know our athletes and their remarkably inspiring stories. We are proud of what we have built and that we are putting a brighter spotlight on our national sporting heroes." Canadian director and producer Henry Lu shot more than 100 hours of footage of the athletes as they trained on location at such famous spots as Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City and Whistler.
One of the more innovative forms of engagement will be through the hashtag #WeAreWinter/#NousSommeslHiver, which will accompany the very first Canadian Olympic Committee Social Media Partnership. Canadian Olympic Team partners will be able to promote Canadian Olympic tweets from approved athlete handles and official Team handles: @CDNOlympicTeam and @OlympiqueCanada. The re-launched olympic.ca and French language olympique.ca will also offer immersive experiences for visitors, including all the broadcast spots, seven short documentaries, and downloadable wallpapers and social media covers. Catch the excitement beginning on February 7th, and check out the 60-second spot and some behind-the-scenes photos below.

Here are the latest pictures from this morning. My mobility was hampered by the stroller I was pushing, but my toddlers were patient in my silly excursion.
First, the exterior of the Apple Store. The hoarding has been disconnected from the walls and this morning there was major work to be done on the bare wall on the left side. Apple was not satisfied with the look and requested it be redone. This section of wall is done with limestone slabs not stainless steel as previously reported. The workman said that this re-do is going to cost Apple a lot of money.
Here is a photo showing the limestone slabs to be installed.
I spoke with one of the workmen and he told me that all of the construction has to be completed with a drop dead of the 19th (this Thursday).
I ventured to attempt a frontal picture from the glass doors but a drywall partition blocked me from getting any closer.
As you can see there are makeshift coverings of cardboard to try and obscure the otherwise wide open cracks. This is the best picture I could take under the circumstances. I could observe that workers were completing the point-of-sale cabinets at the very rear of the store and, that the floor that was previous jackhammered a couple days ago has been repaired and replaced. The tables are still askew from their final positioning.
