perfect for beginners

Best Uses
This product is perfect for a beginning roaster. It's a bit too loud, so you can't really hear the 1st or the 2nd crack, but unlike other roasters, the time between the 2 cracks is really long, so it's really difficult to make a bad roast with this. I think you'd need to pay at least double the price of this unit to get any improvement on roasting. Also, thanks to the cat. converter, there's absolutely no smoke from this unit. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Unfinished business. Defiance. Hope, strength and resilience.
They used different words but the meaning was the same for thousands of people who were stopped by twin bombings at last year's Boston Marathon and came back this year to finish what they started.
The 118th running of the storied race from Hopkinton to Boston on Monday was run under the long and still-sharp shadow of the 117th, which turned tragic when two bombs exploded near the finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others. For this marathon, there was no choice but to remember, reflect and even confront the past, but the athletes found it easier _ and more fun _ to celebrate.

Brevard College Falls to Carson-Newman 3-1 in SAC OpenerSeptember 16, 2008
Jefferson City, T.N. – The Brevard College women's volleyball team opened up their 2008 South Atlantic Conference slate on Tuesday night, as the Tornados fell on the road to the Lady Eagles of Carson-Newman 3-1 (17-25, 25-17, 25-23, and 25-18).
The loss drops the Tornados to 7-4 on the year and 0-1 in SAC play, while Carson-Newman improves to 8-6 overall and 1-0 in conference play with the win.
The Tornados came out of the gates strong in the first ever SAC match taking a quick 10-3 lead and then holding on to win the first set 25-17.
Junior Brooke Seaman had four kills in the set as the Tornados won nine-straight points to turn an early 3-1 deficit into the lead. Sophomore libero Rebecca Schoonover had nine digs in the set.
Carson-Newman answered back to tie the match at 1-1 with a 25-17 win in the second set.
Juniors Jessica Schachleiter and Caitlin Schlegel combined for 11 kills as C-N evened the match. Senior Allyson Cohrn had 14 assists in the set, while as a team the Lady Eagles had six aces in the set.
In the third set, the Tornados grabbed an early lead at 15-9, but the Lady Eagles rallied to cut it to 17-17, eventually holding off BC down the stretch to pick up the 25-23 win and take a 2-1 lead.
In the fourth set, the Lady Eagles were able to hold off the Tornados to pick up the 25-18 win.
Seaman led Brevard with 15 kills, two solo blocks and one block assist. Freshman Chelsea Larsen added 12 kills of her own. Senior co-captain and setter Jami Perry dished out 27 assists for the match to go along with her five digs.
Schoonover recorded a team-high 24 digs, while freshman Lindsey Rogers had 18 digs.
For Carson-Newman, sophomore Carly Mozgai led the way with 13 kills, including five in the decisive fourth game, while Cohrn added 36 assists.
The Tornados will travel back to the Volunteer State of Tennessee for their next match for a 2 p.m. date on Saturday, September 20 with SAC foe Lincoln Memorial. Carson-Newman will return to action this weekend at the Francis Marion Tournament in Florence, S.C.

Step 1: Gather tools and turn off the power to the switch
It doesn't take long to replace an ordinary light switch with a full-feature dimmer. But while you're at it, to make your home safer, you should upgrade the wiring to meet the latest requirements of the National Electrical Code. Our step-by-step instructions will show you how to install the dimmer, concentrating on details that will guarantee a safe installation.
The tools you'll need are inexpensive and will come in handy for all your electrical projects. You'll need a screwdriver, wire stripper, inexpensive voltage tester and needle-nose pliers to install a dimmer.
To begin, turn off the power and double-check for hot wires in the box. Turn on the light and have a helper watch as you switch off the circuit breakers, or unscrew the fuses one at a time until the light goes out. Leave this circuit turned off while you work.
In Photo 1, we're using a non-contact voltage detector to double-check for voltage before removing the switch. These detectors are available at hardware stores and home centers. I prefer this type of tester because it'll detect voltage without direct contact with the metal conductor. That's huge—it means you can check potentially hot wires before you handle them.
After you unscrew the switch and pull it away from the box, probe around inside the box with the detector to make sure there are no other hot wires from another circuit.
Caution: Call an electrician if the original switch is connected to two white wires. This may indicate a dangerous switched neutral.
If you have aluminum wiring, don't mess with it! Call in a licensed pro who is certified to work with it. This wiring is dull gray, not the dull orange that's characteristic of copper.
Step 2: Make sure the box is large enough
Too many wires and devices stuffed into a box can cause dangerous overheating, short circuiting and fires. The National Electrical Code specifies minimum box sizes to reduce this risk.
To figure the minimum box size required by the electrical code, add: 1 for each hot and neutral wire entering the box, 1 for all the ground wires combined, 1 for all the clamps combined, and 2 for each device (switch or receptacle) installed in the box. Multiply this figure by 2 for 14-gauge wire and 2.25 for 12-gauge wire to get the minimum box volume in cubic inches.
To help determine the gauge of the wire in your switch box, look at the amperage of the circuit breaker or fuse in the main electrical panel. Fifteen-amp circuits are usually wired with 14-gauge wire and 20-amp circuits require 12-gauge or heavier wire.
Compare the figure you get with the volume of your existing box. Plastic boxes have the volume stamped inside, usually on the back. Steel box capacities are listed in the electrical code. We've listed the volume of the most common steel boxes in Figure A.
If you have a steel box, measure it (Photo 2) and consult the chart to see if it's large enough. If your box is too small, replace it with a larger one. It's possible to replace a box without cutting away the wall, but it's a tricky job. I'd recommend just removing about a 16-in. square of drywall or plaster and patching it after the new large box is installed.
Tip: If the circuit breaker is labeled "15 amp, " the wires are probably 14-gauge, or 12-gauge for 20-amp circuit breakers.
Figure A: Common Metal Box Sizes
Height/width/depth (inches) Volume (cubic inches)
3 x 2 x 2-1/4 10.5
3 x 2 x 2-1/2 12.5
3 x 2 x 2-3/4 14.0
Step 3: Test your ground before you connect it
New dimmers have either a green grounding wire or a green ground screw that you'll have to connect to a grounding source if one is available. Houses wired with plastic-sheathed cable almost always have bare copper ground wires that you'll connect to the dimmer. But test first using the procedure shown in Photo 3 to verify that the wire is connected to a ground.
Some wiring systems, like ours, rely on metal conduit for the ground. If you have one of these systems, Photo 3 shows how to test the metal box to verify that it's grounded. If it is, attach a short ground wire to the metal box with either a metal grounding clip as shown in Photos 4 and 5 or a green grounding screw screwed into the threaded hole in the back of the box. Then connect it to the dimmer.
If testing reveals your box isn't grounded, you can still install the dimmer, but you must use a plastic cover plate and make sure no bare metal parts are exposed.
Step 4: Install the new dimmer
Photo 7: Connect the wires
Hold the wires together with the stranded wire protruding about 1/8 in. beyond the solid wire. Match the size of the wire connector you're using to the size and number of wires being connected. Check the manufacturer's specifications on the package to be sure. Twist a plastic wire connector clockwise onto the wires to connect them. Stop twisting when the connector is snug.
Some dimmers, like the one we're installing, have stranded wires attached. Photos 7 and 8 show how to install this type of dimmer. Others have screw terminals instead. For these, strip 3/4 in. of the insulated covering from the wires in the box and bend a loop in each with needle-nose pliers. Place the loop clockwise around the screw terminals and close the loop around the screws with the needle nose pliers. Then tighten the screws.
It doesn't matter if you reverse the two switch wires to a single-pole dimmer. But if you're replacing a three-way switch with a three-way dimmer, label the "common" wire (it'll be labeled on the old switch) when you remove the old switch so you can connect it to the "common" terminal on the dimmer.
In most cases, the two switch wires will be some color other than green or white, usually black. But one of the wires may be white if your house is wired with plastic-sheathed cable. Put a wrap of black tape around the white conductor to label it as a hot wire.
Buying Dimmers
If the switch you're replacing is the only switch controlling the light, buy a standard single-pole dimmer. If the light can be switched on and off from two or more switches, buy a three-way dimmer switch. But you won't be able to dim the lights from every switch location unless you buy a set of special dimmers with advanced electronics and install one at each switch location.
Most dimmers are designed to handle 600 watts. Add up the wattage of all the light bulbs you'll be dimming. Then read the dimmer package to make sure it can handle the load. Heavy-duty 1,000- and 1,500-watt dimmers are also readily available. Read the package if you'll be installing dimmers side by side in the same electrical box because the wattage rating is reduced to compensate for extra heat buildup.
Finally, you have to use a special device, not a dimmer, to control the speed of ceiling fans and motors. Most fluorescent lights can't be dimmed without altering the fixture.

NEW YORK CITY -- Jason and Maxine Zahler, the nine- and six-year-old children of Steve Zahler, co-owner of Modern Pinball NYC, were featured on the Sunday (Dec. 15) Today show. The program put its national spotlight on pinball machines in a special segment called "The Pinball Wizards: Classic Arcade Game is Bouncing Back."
Young players are part of a growing trend moving toward the rebirth of pinball. Today's Jenna Wolfe, who hosted the segment, got some pointers on how to play a flipper game from the Zahler kids; Modern Pinball NYC in Manhattan and the Today studio served as the backdrop. "We're really good at pinball," Maxine told Wolfe.
"Pinball is now more popular than ever, more so than I've ever seen in the 20-something years of this," said Classic Pinball Corp. president Kevin Charles McHugh, who was interviewed for the piece. [The mid-1990s was the beginning of the Great Pinball Decline, culminating with the closure of WMS Industries' Williams Electronics Games in 1999.]
Wolfe noted that membership in the International Flipper Pinball Association in the past three years has grown more than 50% to over 8,000 players and that restored machines sell from $5,000 to upwards of $20,000.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" both a rollicking and rocky mission
Published May 17, 2013
With all of that in place, it would seem the sequel's phasers would be all set to stun. But something's off. There's a sequence where the starship Enterprise is flying at warp speed when a big, clunky-looking vessel comes up from behind and nudges it off its exhilarating track. That's pretty much "Star Trek Into Darkness" in a nutshell, except replace the big, clumsy vessel with a big, clumsy story.

Chapman Named Walter Camp Player of the Week
Chapman Named Walter Camp Player of the Week
Nov. 4, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Following his three-interception game against No. 24 Oklahoma State, Kansas State senior defensive back Allen Chapman was named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week, the Walter Camp Foundation announced Sunday.
It is the Wildcats' second honor of the year from the foundation as quarterback Collin Klein earned the offensive nod following the West Virginia contest.
Chapman led a K-State defense that picked off four passes and forced five Oklahoma State turnovers, which resulted in 21 points, in the Wildcats' 44-30 victory. His three interceptions were tied for the second most in school history and were the most by a Wildcat since Chris Canty had three against Akron in 1995, while Chapman is one of six players with a nation-leading three interceptions in a game this season.
A product of San Francisco, Calif., Chapman's first interception was returned 29 yards for a touchdown to give K-State a 31-17 lead in the second quarter. It was the second pick-six of his career, both coming against Oklahoma State as he returned one 60 yards for a score last year. His second pick of the evening halted an OSU drive in K-State territory towards the end of the first half, while his final interception was in the end zone late in the fourth quarter with the Wildcats' clinging to the 14-point lead.
In addition to his interceptions, Chapman recorded five tackles and batted away two other passes.
No. 2 Kansas State will travel to Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday to take on TCU at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The contest, which kicks off at 6 p.m., will be televised nationally by FOX, while the game can be heard on the K-State Sports Network.

CME Group said on Tuesday it will reduce the nearly non-stop trading cycle for its U.S. grain and oilseed markets and consider halting trading for major agricultural reports if other exchanges did the same.
IntercontinentalExchange, which forced CME to expand its trading hours by launching rival grain contracts last year, said it would keep its markets open for crop reports.
CME, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade, said it had not yet determined what the new trading hours will be.
The exchange operator expanded electronic trading hours to 21 hours a day from 17 hours a day in May to fend off competition from rival ICE. The increased hours kept markets open for the first time during the release of key monthly reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which often cause sharp swings in prices.
Traders formerly had two hours to analyze data in the reports before trading resumed, and some have called on CME to pause trading so they can digest data.
"CME Group understands the frustration of many of our customers, and we are open to considering a market pause allowing participants to evaluate the data if all exchanges and trading venues would do the same," CME wrote in a letter to customers.
CME launched a survey last week asking customers whether trading hours should be reduced and decided to reduce hours before the survey period ends on Thursday.
Traders had complained the longer cycle spread out volume, reducing liquidity and increasing volatility.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission will need to approve a change in trading hours.

Design of bearing arrangements
Abutment dimensions
To maximize the effectiveness of the insulation, SKF recommends the following guidelines for dimensioning the shaft and housing shoulders . For bearings with a coated outer ring (designation suffix VL0241, fig. 1), the abutment diameter in the housing should be ≥ Da min (→ product table). For bearings with a coated inner ring (designation suffix VL2071, fig. 2), the abutment diameter on the shaft should be ≤ da max (→ product table).
During mounting, INSOCOAT bearings should be handled in the same way as standard bearings. When using an induction heater, the INSOCOAT layer must not be damaged by the vibration of the heater. For bearings with a coated inner ring (designation suffix VL2071), use a protective sleeve or an additional support block made of plastic.
In cases where springs are used to apply preload or lock nuts are used for axial clamping, SKF recommends inserting a steel spacer ring between the bearing and the preload or locking device (fig. 3).

Brevard, N.C. – Brian Dice homered twice and drove home three runs as Lenoir-Rhyne topped Brevard, 12-3, Sunday afternoon at Gil Coan Field. The win completes a three-game sweep for the Bears in the South Atlantic Conference weekend match-up.
Greg Conrad (4-1; Charlotte, N.C.) picked up the win, allowing three runs and five hits in six innings of work while striking out nine. Trent Davis (Valrico, Fla.) pitched the final three innings for the save, his second of the year. Ryan Toney (1-4; Johnson City, Tenn.) pitched 2/3 of an inning, allowing five runs (one earned) to take the loss.
Dice (Hickory, N.C.) and Chris Tucker (Hawthorne, N.Y.) each had three hits for Lenoir-Rhyne (20-6, 6-0 SAC), while Max Loveland (Bradenton, Fla.) drove home four runs. William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa) hit a three-run home run to account for Brevard's scoring, while Ben Pacey (Swain County, N.C.) had two hits.
The Bears struck with a five-spot in the top of the 1st inning. Loveland tallied an RBI groundout, Evan Taylor (Charlotte, N.C.) scored on a Tornado error, Alex Cooks (Tampa, Fla.) scored on a passed ball and Dice jacked his first bomb of the day, a two-run shot, to make the score 5-0.
Two more Bears scored in the 2nd. Loveland doubled home a pair with two out to put the visitors up by a seven.
Lenoir-Rhyne scored four more in the 6th frame. Dice led off the inning with a home run, Rob Knight (Sterling Heights, Mich.) had an RBI double, Michael Pleau (Vero Beach, Fla.) scored on a wild pitch and Loveland notched another RBI double to make the score 11-0.
Brevard (7-18, 1-10 SAC) scored all three runs in the bottom of the 6th. After Josh Miller (Hendersonville, N.C.) led off the inning with a walk and pinch hitter Vance Crook (West Union, S.C.) had a base hit, Scholer drove a 3-1 offering from Conrad over the left field fence, his third blast of the season.
The Bears scored once more, in the 7th, when Knight came through with an RBI groundout.
The Tornados return to the Gil Coan diamond Tuesday when they face North Greenville at 2 p.m. Lenoir-Rhyne plays at Limestone Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Some changes to Ohio's youth prison system are a model for the nation, an annual report on the system concluded, while highlighting continuing problems in the system with gang violence, education classes and medical care.
Department of Youth Services administrators have done commendable work reducing the number of offenders in secure confinement and spreading services for youthful offenders around Ohio, according to the report released earlier this month by a court-appointed monitor.
"I take great pride in the work we have done together to improve conditions in Ohio's juvenile correctional facilities," Will Harrell, monitor of an agreement between the state and youth advocates who sued over conditions in the system, wrote in the report.
But he also noted "ongoing deficiencies" that must still be addressed.
The Indian River Juvenile Correctional Facility in Massillon, for example, still has too many incidents of violence, Harrell said.
"Changes in programs, youth population, and the addition of the Mental Health Units have resulted in fluctuations in violence reflected through assaults, fights, physical restraints, and incidents of seclusion," the report said.
"Youth gangs still exert a powerful negative influence at Indian River, and concerns remain about the high rate of fights and physical restraints," it said.
Teacher absences contributed to a number of cancelled classes at Indian River and the Scioto Juvenile Correctional Facility in Delaware, the report said, and some teachers aren't getting the job done.
At Scioto, "some staff demonstrated an inability to effectively maintain order, and youth in several classrooms slept, walked around, or engaged in conversations unrelated to school," the report said.
The report found problems with medical files at all four state facilities, and said records aren't always accessible to everyone trying to create treatment programs for youth.
In addition, psychiatric services and hours at all the prisons are inadequate and a disproportionate number of black inmates aren't placed on mental health units, the report said.
Six years ago, the state settled a 2004 lawsuit that alleged a culture of violence permeated the youth prisons system. That settlement called for ongoing review of the state's progress in making changes that have been agreed upon.
The state says the agency is a different organization today and that the agreement should be concluded given the amount of progress that has been made.
"We are carrying out our mission of improving Ohio's future by habilitating youth and empowering families and communities," Youth Prisons spokeswoman Kim Parsell said in a statement.
She noted the agency is almost finished complying with 1,000 goals and objectives that both sides agreed upon.
Lawyers for youth inmates note the recent report found possible violations of inmates' federal rights in 44 separate areas.
These advocates also say the proposal to end the agreement comes when possible budget cuts to Youth Prisons could "put a severe strain on its ability to achieve constitutional compliance."
One of the agency's biggest successes -- reducing the number of youths held by the state -- is also a continuing source of its problems. With many youthful offenders now housed in county facilities close to their families, the state holds only the most violent offenders, who are also the oldest and often hardest to rehabilitate.
From more than 2,000 juvenile inmates at one time, Ohio now houses about 600.

I would like to colour terracotta clay with oxides, what is the outcome thereof and what quantities should be mixed? The colors I'm looking for should be dark and intense to be used with plain terracotta clay in combination, like wedge wood jasper ware.

The ITU-T has announced (Word) the approval of ITU-T Recommendation J.122 (Second Generation Transmission Systems for Interactive Cable Television Services IP Cable Modems). From the prepublished Recommendation J.122: "As cable operators have widely deployed high-speed data services on cable television systems, the demand for upstream bandwidth has increased, particularly with the popularity of more symmetric data applications. The current Recommendation has been created for the purpose of increasing channel capacity and improving noise immunity. The intended service will allow transparent bidirectional transfer of Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, between the cable system headend and customer locations, over an all-coaxial or hybrid-fibre/coax (HFC) cable network." Cablelabs has issued an associated press release:

On 10 December 2002, I participated (with experts from the ITU BDT) in a brainstorming session hosted at the WMO on the topic of "Triangular Cooperation for Cost Effective Access to the Internet in Africa", sponsored by the Third World Academy of Sciences and the Special Unit for Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (SU/TCDC), part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). I made a presentation and was asked to provide some more references to related resource materials. Here are a few: ITU Workshop on Improving IP Connectivity in the Least Developed Countries, Africa and the Internet, AfrISPA: Association of African Internet Service Provider Associations, The Halfway Proposition (PDF): Proposal for African traffic aggregation and "digital arteries", Mike Jensen's site on African Internet Connectivity, Balancing Act: Newsletter covering connectivity developments in Africa, and Mike Jensen's Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Africa: A Status Report (September 2002 Word Advance Copy). As I come across materials on ICT Development, I'll post them on a general ICT Development page.
"Sender-keeps-all" or "bill-and-keep" accounting mechanisms are simple accounting schemes common in the deployment of new telecommunication technologies. However, in asymmetric traffic environments or where highly diversified service offerings emerge (e.g. those requiring guaranteed bandwidth), these models tend to shift to revenue sharing mechanisms among operators and/or content providers. In some cases, this can lead to new market dynamics. One example is the success of NTT Docomo's i-mode service, which some argue is mostly related to its billing gateway technology, permitting revenue sharing and encouraging the growth of new external content providers.
Many previously "free" Internet services are shifting to subscription or metered-based schemes and there's a lot of standards activity underway focused on charging, accounting and cross-operator settlement schemes for IP-based networks. In the public switched telephone network (PSTN) world, which is focused on a single service, voice, accounting mechanisms are primarily built around call detail records (CDRs). In the IP-based world, the service offerings can be much wider (voice, email, web, streaming access), so the challenge has been to develop a more flexible format that can capture the relevant metrics for a wide range of service classes. An interesting development is the Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR).
ITU-T Study Group 3, who deal with tariff and accounting principles including related telecommunication economic and policy issues, are currently meeting at the ITU. At this meeting, the Internet Protocol Detail Record Organization (IPDR), has given an interesting presentation (PDF) on its latest activities, particularly with regard to the emerging Network Data Management Usage (NDM-U) specification. This is a development to keep an eye on in the future.
Looks like Hutchison 3G UK, a unit of Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa, will be the first to deploy 3G production services in Europe branded "3" although the launch date is still unclear (there's a "Founder" program for early users).

On 20-22 November 2002, the ITU Strategy and Policy Unit hosted a workshop on Competition Policy in Telecommunications. The workshop offered an opportunity for competition and telecommunications policy-makers, national telecommunications regulators, user groups, experts and industry, to exchange information and experiences on the issue of competition policy and law in telecommunications regulation. The background and objectives of the workshop, workshop documents, which includes country case studies for Denmark (PDF), India (PDF) and the United States (PDF), presentations made at the workshop, as well as the Chairman's report (PDF) (recommended) are available on the ITU web site.

Somebody once said that the open source movement is a modern-day equivalent of communal barn-raising. It's a surprisingly innovative force that policy-makers worldwide need to understand. Why has open source hit the radar scope of governments? The simple answer is that the public policy stakes have become much higher. The development of advanced info-communication networks is now a key policy objective for almost all governments around the world. Not only are these networks seen as an important determinant of national competitiveness in an increasingly globalized knowledge economy, they are also seen as offering new opportunities in areas such as education, health and social advancement. Its no surprise that almost every government in the world has put a high priority on improving access to advanced info-communications technologies, promoting digital literacy and improved access to government public services (e-government). Not surprisingly, open source is increasingly seen as another tool toward this goal, in both developed and more particularly in developing countries. O'Reilly Network has recently published an interesting timeline from 1995 to the present documenting the use of open source software by governments around the world.
On that note, in October 2002, I participated in Georgetown University's Open Source Summit: Public Interest & Policy Issues, which was spearheaded by Dr. Linda Garcia and her smart group of students at the Communication, Culture & Technology Program at Georgetown. Across town, I see that as a follow-up to their October 2002 conference on Open Source for E-Government, the Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute (CSPRI) of George Washington University is organizing a conference on "Open Source for National and Local eGovernment Programs in the U.S. and EU" to be held in Washington, DC, USA, March 17 - 19, 2003. Here is the call for papers. Slashdot has a related thread.

RIPE NCC operates the K-root server (k.root-servers.net). They have recently published a draft on Distributing the K-Root Service by Anycast Routing of 18.104.22.168. The application of anycasting to providing DNS services was explored in a number of Internet drafts which eventually became the informational RFC 3258: Distributing Authoritative Name Servers via Shared Unicast Addresses. RFC 3258 describes how authoritative name servers with the same IP address could be replicated at different locations. The route to these servers would be advertised for each location and the routing protocols would direct traffic to the topologically nearest server. See my earlier note on this topic.

Coinciding with ITU TELECOM Asia 2002, the ITU has published its 5th edition of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunication Indicators. A presentation (PDF) with highlights and extracts is available as is a related summary of the report. The report demonstrates the Asia-Pacific region has now become the world's largest telecom market. Asia-Pacific also leads in advanced Internet technologies such as broadband access and mobile data. The Republic of Korea and Hong Kong, China, are the top two economies in the world in terms of broadband Internet penetration. In mobile Internet, Japan and the Republic of Korea were the first two nations to launch third generation cellular networks commercially. The region also has the largest percentage of Internet users. These exploits corroborate the view that the global telecommunications epicentre is shifting from North America and Western Europe to the Asia-Pacific region. Also see the related ITU Press Release.
Readers will have noticed that I've been "on vacation" for a long time and this blog hasn't been updated. The reason is that I'm working on the implementation of a multi-author weblog that leverages the collective expertise of the staff in the ITU Strategy and Policy Unit and integrates with the ITU web publishing system. This is going to take some time but hopefully the results will be worth it. More news when it's available.

In a follow-up to my note last month referencing the INTUG paper on Mobile Termination Rates, the UK telecommunications regulator, OFTEL, has formally asked the UK Competition Commission to investigate whether the charges that the four mobile network operators make for connecting calls to their networks are too high.
Talk about timely. CommsDesign has a recent piece on the development by Motorola of an "isochronous network, developed with input from Nintendo Co. Ltd., Sony Corp. and other game platform developers, [that] will be extended into other markets to serve as a "feeder" for future ad-hoc mesh-based piconets that use 802.11 wireless technology as their underlying infrastructure". Slashdot also has a related thread. Isochronous ad-hoc mesh-based piconets? This almost seems like it could have been generated by dack.com.
Last month, in Watch this airspace and parasitic networks, we flagged the emergence of mesh networks, where end user devices can also be routing devices. Wired Magazine has a short article: A New Spin on the Wireless Web this month and mentions the interesting start-up Mesh Networks. Mesh networks, where user devices and routing nodes can get co-mingled, might be an interesting twist on Metcalfe's law, which says the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users or nodes. Think about it. Where all user devices are also routing devices, it's pretty obvious that, at least for the beginning part of the 'S' innovation curve, the value of network externalities is even greater. This has some interesting implications for seeding 'core' networks by seeding the 'edges'.
Last month, I mentioned the arrival of "Wind-up Mobile". There's now a first review of the Motorola Freecharge in ZDNet UK. Just like prepaid rechargeable GSM cards, I imagine this will become very popular in developing countries.

Hi Rebeccamommyof2,
What a hard situation for all involved. The girls aren't getting along which is causing you and your husband not to get along. The 11 year old is resentful of you and your daughter and she's definitely letting you both know.
So what's a mother to do? The first thing I would try is to see if you and your husband can put together some "household rules" and come to an agreement on discipline. Once the two of you are on the same page, it will be MUCH easier for the girls to adjust. They already know what they can get away with, but if you take control and don't let them get away with as much they will respect that and you will see attitudes change.
This is different than running to your husband because "his daughter" did something to "your daughter" (or told her to do something that's not her responsibility). Don't pin him against you by using his daughter. That simply won't work. But rather, leave his daughter out of it, and start with your daughter. What can we do together to help "my daughter". Once he feels like the two of you are on the same page with her, then he will be much more open to working on "his daughter". I gave you some suggestions on how to work with your daughter here.
And if your husband simply doesn't want to discuss "his daughter" then you will need to pay constant attention to what is happening between the two girls, and you will monitor things. This is going to take a lot of your time, but it can be done. Have the 11 year old bake cookies with you. Have her help you with the cooking, have her go to the grocery store with you, while your husband stays home with the 1 and 7 year olds. You'll want to develop that relationship as if it's more of a friendship simply because she is showing signs of resentment at this time ("I don't have to call you mom.").
You can control the situation better. You can plan out exactly what each girl will do after school so they aren't having any "alone" time. You can play a game with them, do their homework with them, have one in one room doing something while the other is in another room. Once the resentment wains and the relationships blossom then you won't have to spend as much time watching over everything. But for now, resentment often times accompanies the mixing of two different families and it can be easier to work on a friendship before becoming a "parent". My mum died when I was 16, and my dad remarried a year later. It was REALLY hard for me to accept her. I was dealing with the grief of losing my mum (your step-daughter is dealing with the grief of losing her family due to the split). I found it was easier for me to take direction from my dad (i.e. clean the kitchen) then it was to take that direction from my step-mother.
I wish you all the best on this one. It can be tough, but I know that with some work you'll be able to make the transition and everyone will become happier.
Warm regards,

Bristol, Va. - The Brevard College softball team pulled off a pair of late-inning rallies to complete the sweep of Virginia Intermont on Thursday evening, and Kayla Clemens picked up a pair of wins as the Tornados defeated the Cobras 8-2 and 10-7.
Brevard improves to 22-21 on the season, while Clemens improves to 14-13 overall with the pair of victories. Virginia Intermont falls to 19-26 in 2012.
Game One: Brevard 8, Virginia Intermont 2 (8 inn.)
Box Score
Brevard erupted for six runs in the top of the eighth inning, sending all nine batters to the plate in the frame, with six different players driving in runs as the Tornados topped the Cobras in the tone-setting first game.
The Tornados placed a run across in the top of the first to open the game as Brittany Fowler reached on a leadoff single, advancing to third on throwing error by the pitcher on Brittany Tuckers sacrifice bunt attempt. Chelsi Mallory followed with a sacrifice fly, scoring Fowler for the first run of the contest.
Mallory again came through in the clutch for the Tornados in the third inning, driving in Brittany Jones with a two-out RBI single to double the Brevard lead through three innings.
Virginia Intermont battled back in the sixth, tying the game with two runs in the frame as Kelli Porter hit a one-out solo home run, while Ashley Fields singled in Rachel Cook to even the game.
Clemens and VIC starter Bailee Packett matched each other with scoreless frames in the seventh, sending the game to extra innings.
Brevard responded with a huge inning in the top of the eighth as Tucker, Alyssa Miller, Meredith Davenport, Emily Boykin, Brittany Jones and Fowler all drove in runs in the frame as Brevard put six hits on the board in the inning to take an 8-2 lead heading into the final at-bat.
Clemens retired the side in order in the bottom half of the eighth to close out the game for the Tornados.
Fowler, Mallory and Davenport all had two hits apiece for the Tornados in the contest, while Mallory led the way with her two RBIs. Clemens went the distance in the game, striking out six while scattering five hits in the win.
Game Two: Brevard 10, Virginia Intermont 7
Box Score
Brevard plated 10 runs over the final three innings, with Tucker providing the pop from the plate with a bases-loaded double in the sixth, and followed with an RBI single in the seventh to propel the Tornados to the season sweep over the Cobras.
Samantha Perry-Shifflett opened the scoring in the game, snapping a scoreless tie in the bottom of the third with a solo home run to give the Cobras the early lead.
Brevard battled back with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth as Mallory singled in Fowler and Clemens followed with an RBI base hit plating Tucker to give Brevard a short-lived lead as the Cobras came out swinging in the bottom half of the frame.
Virginia Intermont plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth, chasing BC starter Miller from the contest. Amber Palmer tied the game up, drawing a bases -loaded walk to knot the contest with one out in the inning. Porter put the Cobras ahead, reaching on a BC error, while Katelyn Mitchell added an RBI single. Tamara Campbell put the exclamation point on the frame, hitting a two-run single scoring Porter and Mitchell, before Clemens retired the side to end the threat.
Brevard continued to battle back in the top of the sixth, with Tucker swinging the big bat in the inning, hitting a bases-clearing one-out double to the gap, scoring Fletcher, Jones and Fowler to cut the Cobras lead to one at 6-5, heading into the final inning.
An error gave the Tornados their first base runner in the top of the seventh, and Brevard took advantage of a second Cobras error to plate the tying and go-ahead runs as Fletcher and Boykin scored on Fowler's drive to right field. Tucker and Clemens added RBI singles in the inning, while Mallory recorded an RBI double to push the Brevard lead to 10-6 heading into the final three outs.
Porter and Cook hit doubles in the bottom of the seventh, plating the final VIC run in the inning, but Clemens retired the final batter on strikes to close out the contest in favor of the Tornados.
Tucker, Mallory and Clemens all had three hits apiece in the game, with Tucker driving in four runs in the BC victory. Miller went 4.1 innings in the start, striking out four, while Clemens picked up her second win of the day after the BC comeback.
Brevard returns home to the BC Softball Field on Saturday, April 14th, as the Tornados welcome Carson-Newman College for Senior Day, as well as their final South Atlantic Conference series of the season. The Tornados will recognize four year seniors Chelsi Mallory and Maddie Fletcher in-between the games of the doubleheader. First pitch between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for 1 p.m.

From the first time you sat in a cardboard box and made "Vroom! Vroom!" noises to the first time you put playing cards in the spokes of your bike, you've wanted to be a racer... but your dad wants you to go into the family business and make those stupid "#1" foam fingers, and he stands between you and the keys to the family Datsun. You've got two choices: steal some of mom's Valium to numb the pain, or hop onto the Sega racing circuit and show your old man who's really number one.
Gameplay: Unlike most race-car drivers, who have to actually sit in their vehicles, you get to watch your car from several hundred feet above as you race against time and your opponents. Unlike most race cars, which confuse the hell out of you with several "gears," your Turbo racer keeps it nice and simple: Choose between L and H. (Free strategy tip: "L" stands for "Lose this race because you didn't shift into 'H,' stupid.") Pass 30 cars before the time runs out, and you get to try the next level. Pass enough levels, and you get to see a "Winner's Circle" graphic before the whole thing starts over. Take that, Dad! Who's number one now, huh?
Could be mistaken for: Pole Position, Monaco GP.
Kids today might not like it because: The act of racing as fast as you can and not actually getting anywhere is a little too much like trying to get to second base at the Junior Prom.
Kids today might like it because: They can go as fast as they can, and crash as many times as they want, without any consequences... just like in real life.
Enduring contribution to gaming history: Turbo came in both stand-up and sit-down versions, which paved the way for sit-down versions of classics like Spy Hunter and Star Wars. Wil Wheaton

Unlike many Latin American countries, Brazilian artists were free to produce nudes, and almost all major artists produced a reasonable amount of them, both as a part of history paintings, and also as a theme of its own. Amongst these works, we can cite Victor Meirelles The Bacchante, Pedro Américo's David and Abizag, Carioca and The Night surrounded by the genii of Study and Love, Léon Pallière's Faun and Bacchante, Zeferino da Costa's Saint John the Baptist and The Pompeian, and Rodolfo Amoedo's Maraba (which is also Indian themed) as well as his Study of a Woman.
Brazilian painters were also prolific in producing genre paintings. Almeida Junior (who studied under Cabanel in Paris) painted The Rest of the Model, and Frederico made In the Studio, produced in Italy. Rodolfo Amoedo (with Bad News), Belmiro de Almeida (with Tiffs) and Zeferino da Costa (with Charity) chose to portray social themes. Pedro Weingartner studied in Paris with a scholarship granted by Emperor Pedro II, after a letter written by William Bouguereau to the Brazilian monarch interceding in favor of his student, who was practically starving in Europe. Weingartner was especially keen to regional genre painting. In Arrived Late, he depicts the moment when a traveling salesman arrives too late to make a sale; another one has already arrived.
Lastly, one of the main sources of income for Brazilian painters, as elsewhere, was the production of portraits. That is arguably the genre of 19th century painting most abundant in Brazilian museums. Although the main models were the Imperial Family, the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, portraitists have left some interesting images of 19th commoners, as Augusto Müller's Manoel Correia dos Santos - Sumaca Master, A Seaman, and Correia de Lima's Portrait of the Intrepid Sailor Simon, and Coal Worker of the Steamboat "Pernambuco", another seaman famous for having saved 13 shipwrecks.
Unfortunately, The Academy of Fine Arts in Rio did not have many sculptors. Among those we can cite Chaves Pinheiro, Nicolina Vaz de Assis, one of the first prominent women artists in Brazil, and Rodolpho Bernardelli, who would become Director of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1890.
1 By the time the Brazilian Academy was created, in 1822, Portugal had not yet an academy of her own. The Fine Arts Academy of Lisbon was founded in 1836, by Dona Maria II, queen of Portugal, daughter of Pedro I of Brazil. The first American Academy of Fine Arts was, however, the San Carlos Academy in Mexico City, of 1783, founded under the auspices of Spanish King Carlos III, grandfather of Queen Carlota Joaquina, wife of King Dom João VI of Portugal.
2 Professor João Zeferino da Costa would complain as late as 1883: "The models posing for the History Painting class (men, women, children) are not professionals, because there isn't such a profession in our country.

HTC Primo Leaked Image and Specs Surface
5.0By Ruben Yunatanov January 23, 2012 09:12 PM
Htcpedia news:
What the heck is this thing? Your guess is as good as ours. Yet another mysterious phone by HTC! HTC, why do keep teasing us like this, why, why? This is the third pictured rumored phone in the past few weeks that we've been hearing about, and the MWC is over a month away, its just not fair.
Today, rumors emerged of the HTC Primo. The Primo is said to be a min-range smartphone with a 3.7" screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 5MP camera, running on Android 4.0 (ICS), and featuring built-in Beats Audio Technology. Furthermore the HTC Primo is expected to be alongside the HTC Ville/Endeavor, and HTC's other anticipated devices to be released at MWC in Barcelona starting Feb 27th.
Speaking of "mid-range" HTC devices, this does remind me of a previous post where we heard of a device coming to Verizon, ranging in between the Thunderbolt and the Rezound, where they did mention 4G/LTE World capabilities. Could this be the HTC Fireball Verizon bound?

A lot of teams will be tapping their feet impatiently this March, awaiting their fate from the selection committee.
A handful of programs in the Mountain West will be having the same reaction, but not necessarily because they'll be out of the tournament. Where they end up in seeding could be interesting.
Perhaps no conference is quite the victim of its own success like the Mountain West. At one time, it seemed as though six teams from the conference could be in the mix. Some analysts called it the second- or third-best conference in the country.
Now, five NCAA berths could be a stretch, and barring one dominant run to finish out the regular season, it could be tough for anyone to get better than a No. 4 seed.
What has beaten up the MWC? Mostly itself.
New Mexico is probably still top dog. It has the best AP ranking (No. 19), it leads the standings, and it has a few solid nonconference wins, though none are spectacular. But a conference loss to San Diego State shows it is not without blemish.
Against the Aztecs, the Lobos struggled to shoot, rebound and take care of the ball. New Mexico was essentially stripped bare in a 55-34 loss. And the Rebels stung further with their athleticism in a 64-55 loss.
But those are the kind of teams the Mountain West has this year: Nobody's perfect.
Colorado State has fallen to San Diego State and New Mexico. The Aztecs got blitzed by UNLV, Air Force and Wyoming. UNLV has bounced up and down as much as any MWC team, falling to bottom-feeder Fresno State last week.
The Mountain West is certainly not alone in its propensity for beating itself up. Aside from Miami and Florida, no power conference team has fewer than two conference losses at this point in the season. The top spot hasn't been a safe place virtually all season for any team not Indiana, not Louisville, not Michigan.
But the Mountain West, not traditionally grouped among the "major conferences," is arguably more susceptible to a tumble. It doesn't have the banner team that's consistently ranked in the top 10, and losses hurt more in the NCAA Tournament profile.
It's not fair, but that's the way it is: Power conference programs at the top of their leagues get the top seeds. It's arguable that at the moment, the Mountain West doesn't have a clear leader at the top that obvious candidate for a Final Four run. That's why only two MWC programs are in the AP's top 25. Think that won't trickle down to the selection committee?
Even in a strong basketball year, when the Mountain West is still seen as one of the best basketball conferences in the country, it's still trying to fight off second-class status. This time, strangely, it has itself to blame.

text: Yahoo: TRADING UP FOR JaMARCUS? BATON ROUGE, La. – Where will JaMarcus Russell land? It's still too early to tell, but the trade whispers have started to circulate around the potential No. 1 pick in the draft. A prominent one has the Washington Redskins taking a keen interest. According to a source with intimate knowledge of the situation, Redskins owner Dan Snyder has become enamored with the idea of drafting Russell, which has in turn fueled speculation Washington could be targeting Oakland's No. 1 pick in a trade scenario. The trade could involve Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell, the team's first-round pick in 2005, getting dealt to another team, or to the Raiders as part of a package to move up in the draft. Russell has impressed the Raiders thus far, both with his skills set and his quiet-but-confident demeanor, which the team got to see over dinner at Ruffino's Italian Restaurant on Tuesday night in Baton Rouge. But coach Lane Kiffin insisted Wednesday Oakland was going to explore trading the No. 1 pick. As it stands, Russell is set to take visits for personal workouts with Oakland, Washington, the Detroit Lions and Cleveland. If Washington were to be involved in a trade with the Raiders, a move to the top choice would likely cost the Redskins a healthy package of picks and possibly players. And it's worth noting Washington doesn't have a second-round pick this year to use for ammunition, having already dealt that choice away to the New York Jets (who sent the pick to the Chicago Bears as part of the Thomas Jones deal). – Charles Robinson

The picture of Comrade bannerman shaking his fist at the trainload of "plutes" lingered with me.
Well, no doubt bannerman's informed you that she's not here.
I was called in, and suddenly found that I had bannerman in my power.
bannerman explored every inch of the wreckage and returned to the garage empty-handed.
The figures that I furnished Comrade bannerman surprised him.
If bannerman could get in some time later, they could have got out some time earlier.
Towards us Mr. bannerman showed himself most hospitable, yet in a perfectly unostentatious manner.
His name was bannerman, and he came aboard here at Brisbane.
So one captain asked three of us and bannerman to go over to his schooner.
"Well, I can stand it, if you fellows can," answered bannerman bravely.

Alhambra is a club located in Idlewood, Los Santos that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Carl Johnson can take both Denise Robinson and Helena Wankstein to the club during a dancing date. The club and its grounds are a turf that can be won after the mission Doberman (available until The Green Sabre) and after returning to Los Santos. Its interior is the same in design used for all other clubs like the Gaydar Station in San Fierro.
Inside, Carl can partake in a Dancing Minigame with three levels of difficulty. Although walkthroughs indicate that this minigame is only unlocked after the mission Life's a Beach, the minigame (and the interior of Alhambra) is accessible from the start. During dancing dates with Denise and Helena the minigame is played. Two Sprunk vending machines, a snack vending machine and Duality, Let's Get Ready to Bumble and Go Go Space Monkey arcade games can also be found in the club.
It is based on the real-life Los Angeles Herald Examiner Building in Los Angeles, but the name is taken from the Spanish Alhambra of Granada, a monumental Arab style palace-fortress complex built in the 14th century, finalist to be named one of the New Seven Wonders of The World in 2007.
- A graffiti tag can be found on the wall of the right most corner from the entrance.

The University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center is looking for Sumter County residents to share their experiences and ideas about promoting physical activity in five Sumter County communities.
Researchers are looking for ideas on the best ways to promote walking in the Rembert, Salterstown, Cherryvale, Dalzell and Broad Street areas. Participants will take part in group discussions, and their recommendations will be used to develop a walking program specifically for Sumter County. Participants must be 18 and older, and they do not have to be physically active to be part of the group. Participants can receive up to $30 for taking part in the group discussions.
If interested, call Lili Stoisor-Olsson toll-free at (866) 363-8906.

by HopewellQ: Are the Duggars Quiverfull?By their own admission, Jim-Bob and Michelle were so "grieved" after reading the information pamphlet in a birth control pill package that they turned their fertility over to God.

Photo Gallery: Black ice
Black ice caused as many as 11 vehicles to crash on the 259 Freeway in San Bernardino this morning.
The California Highway Patrol received a call about the crash at 8:08 a.m. on the E Street off-ramp from the northbound 259 Freeway. The 259 runs between the 210 and 215 freeways.
A motorist reported that the freeway sprinklers came on, spraying water onto the road. The water froze on the freeway, causing slick conditions.
The CHP received a second call at 8:41 a.m. that another seven or eight vehicles crashed in the same area.
The E Street off-ramp from the northbound 259 has been closed. The duration of the closure is not known.
Sub-freezing temperatures also led to icy road conditions in Redlands.
City spokesman Carl Baker said city crews worked through the weekend, spreading sand on canyon roads, Citrus Avenue at Judson and Lincoln streets and Palo Alto Drive near Country Club Drive.
At least four car crashes were reported in the city from slick roads.

I wasn't surprised to learn many years later that Griffith was indeed a rock-solid liberal.
Griffith Stadium would play a key role in sports history more than five decades later under the Kennedy Administration.
More to the point, Mr. Robinson, is whether Griffith would get the award today.
It took Griffith a while to remember who Knox was, at first.
This rapprochement was The Birth of a Nation that Griffith evoked when he changed the name of his movie from The Clansman.
So Griffith had to sit with her, and excellent likenesses the man produced; but a horrible one of the child.
The way to melt the heart of a Mrs Griffith is to eat nothing.
Doctor Griffith, chaplain and surgeon in the Virginia line, on business highly important with the commander-in-chief.
Had advantage been taken of opportunities, Griffith might have been a wealthy man.
Griffith was specially interested in the study of Cryptogamic plants.
masc. proper name, from Welsh Gruffydd, probably from Latin Rufus, from rufus "red."

transcript:
This garter snake can eat almost anything: rodents, reptiles, insects, fish, birds-and swallow them whole.
And this shrew would make a tasty snack.
But first, the garter snake has to catch one.
The shrew lives life in the fast lane.
Under stress, its heart can beat up to 1,300 times a minute.
To maintain all that energy, it eats constantly, digging up worms and grubs in this rich garden soil.
With its strong jaws and swift bite, the snake seems to have the advantage.
But the shrew's saliva can paralyze prey.
So in this fight, the first bite wins.
The shrew goes right for the neck.
The snake's muscles go slack as the venom takes hold.
And the shrew starts to eat him alive.
Size means nothing when you have the right weapons.

Individual Healthcare Identifier numbers for babies
This was just released by the ACM Weekly Newsletter
The Department of Human Services (DHS) has made provision for hospitals and midwives to record a newborns verified IHI in its Newborn Child Claim for Paid Parental Leave, Family Assistance and Medicare (FA101) form in the July 2013 version of the FA101 form (Reference FA101.1307). The form is supplied to hospitals and midwives in the DHS Parent Pack.
Effective from 1 July, the Proof of Birth page of the form (page 16) enables a verified IHI number for a newborn to be recorded.
DHS has advised that until such time hospitals have the software to create a verified IHI for a newborn, the hospital should select No to the question on page 16 - Was the newborn childs Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) created by the hospital?
