Update: 1:43 p.m. Chrysler makes 200 name official.
Chrysler is showing dealers 14 new or upgrade vehicles hitting showrooms over the next few months, and revealed the new name of the Sebring, which will become the 200.
The 2011 Chrysler 200 gets a new powertrain lineup, featuring either the 2.4-liter I-4 World Gas Engine or the new Pentastar V-6 engine. The automaker has shown just a few sneak peaks at the car, including this shot of the rear light.
Among the options considered for the 200 name were also the Nassau and Newport, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Car naming is always a tricky thing, as automakers try to strike a balance between finding something memorable but not embarrassing themselves. Plus, there's always the problem of trademark violations (some automakers have names dating back 50 years that they still hold the trademark on) and translation issues:
But Nassau, Newport or 200? Chrysler still has rights to both Nassau and Newport -- they made a production model Nassau in the 1950s, and the concept car for the 300 used the same name. Newport was made for a long time as a Chrysler model, making both names retro Chrysler names back from when Chrysler used to name it cars after fancy resorts.
But 200 sounds like a junior version of the 300.
We were hoping the folks at Chrysler would come up with something better. We're not entirely sure what a Sebring is, beyond being a real racetrack, but it sounds fast. The 200 lacks a little something, despite the success of the Chrysler 300.
Which is not likely the marketing mojo they're looking for.
Dealers will also see the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which shouldn't surprise anyone in the room since it's already on sale, the Dodge Durango based off the same platform, Jeep Wrangle, Dodge Avenger, and the Fiat 500, among others.

Rheumatic Fever Investment Welcomed By Maurice Wilkins Centr
Media release
Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular
A Centre of Research Excellence hosted by
The University of Auckland
19 February 2013
Rheumatic Fever Investment Welcomed By Maurice Wilkins Centre
The announcement of funding for a trans-Tasman project to investigate potential vaccines for rheumatic fever has been welcomed by the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery, New Zealand's Centre of Research Excellence tackling major human diseases.
The Prime Ministers of New Zealand and Australia have committed NZ$3 million over two years for a project to identify vaccines that could be taken into clinical development.
The announcement aligns well with a workshop the Centre will hold next month, which is attracting world experts to discuss solutions and strategies for group A streptococcal infection, the bacterial disease that causes rheumatic fever.
Rheumatic fever, which can lead to life-threatening rheumatic heart disease, is one of the Maurice Wilkins Centre's strategic priorities. The disease, which is now rare in most wealthy countries, remains a major health concern in New Zealand and Australia, with Māori, Pasifika and Aboriginal communities having amongst the highest rates of rheumatic heart disease in the world.
At a national symposium on superbug threats in New Zealand convened by the Maurice Wilkins Centre in 2010, infectious disease consultants identified rheumatic fever as one of their greatest concerns. The Centre has strong capabilities in the biology of group A streptococcus, including deputy director Professor John Fraser's world-leading expertise, and as a result of the symposium rheumatic fever became a priority for the Centre.
"This is an excellent example of a national need being matched with national scientific strengths," says Director of the Maurice Wilkins Centre Professor Rod Dunbar.
As part of its subsequent work on rheumatic fever, the Centre is convening a high-level workshop, to be held in March, that is attracting the world's foremost experts on group A streptococcal biology and disease. A particular focus for the event will be discussion of how to develop an effective vaccine strategy for the Australasian region. Since there are many different strains of streptococcus, any effort to develop a vaccine would need to focus on the particular strains found in this part of the world.
"Our workshop aligns well with the recently-announced trans-Tasman strategy to fast-track the development of a vaccine targeting rheumatic fever," says Professor Dunbar. "We're delighted that the New Zealand and Australian Prime Ministers have made such a strong commitment to tackling this very serious disease, and look forward to the release of further details about the trans-Tasman initiative."
The Maurice Wilkins Centre is New Zealand's Centre of Research Excellence for the discovery of new treatments and diagnostics for human disease. It brings together leading biologists, chemists, and computer scientists to target serious diseases, focusing on infectious disease, cancer and diabetes. It includes researchers with world-class reputations for designing new drugs for these diseases, several of which are in clinical trials.
The Maurice Wilkins Centre is hosted by The University of Auckland and incorporates researchers from six New Zealand Universities, three Crown Research Institutes and a private research institute: The University of Auckland, University of Otago, Victoria University, University of Waikato, University of Canterbury, Massey University, Industrial Research Limited, Plant & Food Research, AgResearch, and the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research.

Cloud-10 Accountability and Data Ownership
R1:Accountability and Data Ownership
An internal cloud or a data center of an autonomous organization is under complete control of that organization. The organization is accountable and owns data in an internal cloud. Unlike internal cloud, for economical reasons, an organization may choose to use a public cloud for hosting business services. In the public cloud, the accountability and data ownership gets delegated to the cloud provider.
The cloud provider may store the data in its premises, or employ an Insfrastructure-As-A-Provider (IAAS) for data storage. The provider may use multi-tenancy architecture which collocates data of multiple cloud consumers in one physical storage. This poses the risks of physical security of the data, unauthorized data access, and lack of auditability.
For audit and compliance purposes, the specific location of data can be important. A cloud provider may have a geographically distributed storage architecture which conflicts with the regulatory requirements.
Upon a deletion request, a cloud provider may may nominally erase data. The remanant data can be accessed and stolen.

As we have developed tools to originate thousands of loans on behalf of our financial institution clients, we have developed tools that we now share with our clients, including the Best Offer WizardSM and the Income Portal.
LoanCraft has a strong history of maintaining a secure infrastructure, continuously improving and successfully passing a variety of state and bank audits for information security.
Our Tax Return Analysis provides a full analysis of income for self-employed borrowers, based on tax returns you upload to our secure portal.
Self-Employed Express is an end-to-end streamlined process for calculation of cash flow on tax returns. You go from e-signature to final analysis – we do all the work in between. But with Self-Employed ExpressSM, the process is easier and quicker for everyone.

The technology provides an easy, highly consultative interaction for the customer. We offer a range of innovative question types, and you can combine them in various ways and compare their results. It's like getting a full web development and analytics team, at your disposal.
The Best Offer Wizard screen is a significant improvement over rate sheets, because it instantly provides the rate without interpretation by the user. This will lead to a higher degree of accuracy in quoting rates, which is essential to customer care and compliance. And because the tool is so easy to use, the associate can concentrate more on the customer and less on the math of trying to figure out the rate.
The two keys to effective sales conversion are developing a relationship with the customer, and making the right offer to them. The Best Deal WizardSM helps the associate by structuring their conversation with the customer, and by using scripting prompts to help them probe for a customer's needs. The questions are a launching point for deeper conversations between the associate and the customer. Then, by applying the scoring algorithm, the screen guides the associate to choose from the program that most fits the customer's needs. Making the best offer for the customer is crucial – it significantly increases the chance of a "yes" and the customer appreciates the experience.

THREE Canadians who were setting up a clandestine drug lab while posing as players in a Crown poker tournament could go home in 15 months.
Brian Yuan, 47, Robin Ho Byun and Edward Eric Estrada, both 33, were on Friday sentenced to five years' jail, with a minimum of three years to be served.
They have already served one year and nine months on remand.
County Court Judge Michael Bourke said the trio joined a criminal enterprise aimed at "manufacturing a drug which attacks and hurts the Australian community".
The trio had stockpiled enough chemicals to make 25kg of methamphetamine.
Judge Bourke said he did not accept a proposition put by barristers for each of the men that they had come to Australia to gamble and they were recruited to the criminal plan after falling into financial trouble.
But he said he was not convinced that the men were recruited in Canada.
"I find beyond reasonable doubt that your involvement started very soon after your arrival in Melbourne," Judge Bourke said.
"It cannot be certainly said that you came here to offend ... this is probably a generous finding."
The men pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to manufacture a commercial quantity of a controlled drug.
They were arrested on August 15, 2012, the day they had planned to leave Australia.
By that stage the men had abandoned the enterprise, fearing the police were onto them or they were about to be attacked by a rival syndicate.
Judge Bourke said the men rented a home in Greenvale, which they used as their base between June and August, 2012, while they bought chemicals to set up a clandestine lab.

Have Pediatric Questions? Ask a Pediatrician.
I'm happy that you have asked me to assist you with your child and hope that you can benefit from my many years of helping parents like you.
Omnicef, like most antibiotics, can cause diarrhea and in infants actually make them have red stools!
Augmentin is even worse about upsetting the stomach but not the Zithromax you are taking while nursing.
Are you giving her any probiotics?
Her stools are a brownish color with a hint of orange color. I am feeding her yogurt, but it's the gerber yogurt and I don't know if it has sufficient probiotics.
Her last dose is tomorrow. I think it is causing stomach upset, because I hear rumbling every now and then. But she is eating well
Why don't you pick up some Florastor, a probiotic available without a prescription as it will work better.
Ok. Will it end after her antibiotic is finished?
It should and the probiotic will help.

Lopresti: Cole Hamels' honesty refreshing
Looking for honest answers this election year? Cole Hamels for Congress.
Cole Hamels for governor.
Cole Hamels for … never mind, the White House probably couldn't spare him every fifth day.
BLOG: Nationals GM calls Hamels 'gutless'
BLOG: Hamels: 'I was trying to hit him'
PHOTOS: Images of Bryce Harper
OK, maybe you didn't exactly like what the Philadelphia Phillies pitcher did, nailing phenom Bryce Harper and then cheerfully owning up to his intentions afterward. The general manager of the Washington Nationals hated it worse than if he had found rats in his grandstand, Mike Rizzo telling TheWashington Post the act was "gutless" and "classless" and that Hamels is "fake tough."
(We pause to note the promising animosity bubbling up between these two sides. And just in time, since the stormy New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry is in danger of being downgraded to a tropical depression, with one team in fourth place and the other in fifth.)
Perhaps Hamels' manners toward Harper were something less than a church greeter. But doesn't he get extra points for candor?
Look around. Advertisements exaggerate. Bloggers spin. Politicians pledge answers as straight as the fastball of a pitcher with a 5.89 ERA, then zig-zag.
Where can we go for the unvarnished truth?
We go to the Phillies clubhouse. There, Hamels was asked about his pitch that plunked Harper in the back. Any of the following would have been an acceptable form of denial:
A. "It got away from me."
B. "I was just trying to pitch inside."
C. "I'd never want to put a runner on base in that situation."
Not Honest Hamels. He went for D.
"I was trying to hit him."
More truthfulness like that, and we'd have fewer words that end in "gate."
By all accounts, Harper is a future star and thus a future threat. This was the old guard, uh, communicating. Welcome to the fray, Junior. Besides, the Phillies have had enough problems getting above .500 with all of their injuries to have a 19-year-old getting any big ideas.
"I'm just trying to continue the old baseball," Hamels said, "because I think some people are kind of getting away from it."
Quotes that blatantly direct are as rare as triple plays. The assembled news media should have carried Hamels off on their shoulders.
The commissioner was quick with a five-game suspension and an undisclosed fine. Truth can get expensive. Rizzo demanded action, even invoking the tainted names of the New Orleans Saints with The Post, which might be a bit of a stretch, unless Hamels went home with an extra C-note.
Know who the bad guy here is? Nobody.
Not Hamels. Not Harper. Not Rizzo.
The turf war between pitcher and hitter has been going on forever, and while the days of cold-blooded lawmen such as Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale were a long time ago, the battle continues. Many have done similar to Hamels, but few have been so splendidly unrepentant.
Harper reacted the perfect way. Go to first base, steal home a few minutes later. He signed for nearly $10 million at 17, and his confidence is a matter of record, not to mention awe. A pitch in the back shouldn't faze him.
Rizzo was sticking up for his player with the fire the Nationals will need if they are to reverse the course of impotent history.
Baseball would not want to miss something like this for the world. Just toss it on the pile of early intrigue. If the season had ended Sunday, the Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Indians would be in the playoffs, but the Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees and Detroit Tigers would not.
Washington has not seen a postseason game since the first year of the Roosevelt administration in 1933, and the Nationals are dousing the District of Columbia with new hope. They have to be making progress for anyone to go to the trouble of throwing at them.
But sooner or later, the Nationals likely will have to get past the Phillies. And the Phillies don't like to get passed. Thus, the pitch from Hamels, a confessed message sender.
I don't know if he's fake tough, but he would pass a lie detector test.

Xto7 for Final Cut Pro (by Assisted Editing) allows you to take your Final Cut Pro X timeline to Final Cut Pro 7. You can also go directly to other Final Cut Pro 7 XML workflow programs, as well as to Adobe Premiere Pro (and to After Effects via dynamic link). It's available in the App Store for $49.99.
Troubleshooting Final Cut Pro X Data and Settings Corruption Problems
If Final Cut Pro X won't launch, crashes while launching, or crashes while open, there are some basic troubleshooting tips you can follow to try to quickly get yourself back up-and-running. Check out this tutorial to equip yourself with the proper technical expertise!
Automatic Duck Plug-ins are now Free!
Automatic Duck, the Seattle-based conversion software distributor (known for their plug-ins that translate edited sequences between Final Cut Pro, Avid, After Effects, Quantel, Pro Tools), has recently revamped its cost structure for plug-in delivery. Now, their Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP, and Pro Export FCP (FCP7 and FCPX) plugins are available at absolutely no charge. But… at what cost?
Using Dropbox to Sync and Back up Editing Projects
Dropbox is an exceptionally useful application that allows you to store files within a designated folder on your computer—and with every Save, it instantly and safely backs up your files to the Dropbox servers, and also syncs your updated files to all of your other Dropbox folders located on other computers and mobile devices. Additionally, you can share folders within your Dropbox with any number of collaborators, so every time you make a change, everyone gets the update simultaneously. So, the question is… how does this work with editing projects?
Managing Transition Behavior in Final Cut Pro X
When you add transitions in Final Cut Pro X, the default behavior is to use material already edited in the Timeline, rather than to use material from your shots' handles. This makes the duration of your A-side and B-side shots—as well as the entire sequence—shorter with each transition you apply. Check out this tutorial to discover why this probably isn't the best workflow, as well as how to switch this behavior back to traditional methods.
CatDV Supports Translating Final Cut Pro Projects from FCP7 to FCPX
Want to open your Final Cut Pro projects in FCPX? CatDV is a third party application that acts as a "translator" of XML data…allowing you to open a cuts-only sequence of your FCP7 (or earlier version) in Final Cut Pro X and vice versa. Save time and keep your edits organized using this powerful support application!
Working with Markers in Final Cut Pro X
Adding markers is a great way to share information about your sequence with others, or to remind yourself of things you need to do. In Final Cut Pro X, there are quite a few marker-related shortcuts that will serve you well.
Video Tutorial: How to Create Subclips Using the Favorite Option in Final Cut Pro X
Final Cut Pro X doesn't include a formal subclip option, but you can mimic subclipping by using the "Favorite" command. Watch this video tutorial to find out how!
How to Use Placeholder Footage in Final Cut Pro X
Sometimes, it's useful to insert placeholder footage in your sequence for video you have yet to shoot or gather. Fortunately, Final Cut Pro X offers a unique Placeholder generator effect, which allows you to customize your temporary video—down to the very last detail!
Video Tutorial: Using the Precision Editor in FCPX
Final Cut Pro X's Precision Editor allows you to view the handles of your clips as you perform ripples and rolls. This lets you exercise extra control as you trim. Watch this video tutorial to find out how to use the Precision Editor!

The Tenerife region
Tenerife is the land of eternal sunshine, with annual average temperatures ranging from 72F in Winter to 85F in Summer, which also makes Tenerife ideal for those out of season breaks as well as the more traditional holiday periods. This is definitely the island that has something to offer for everyone, no matter what your interests might be! Tenerife has a wide choice of holiday attractions, sports and nightlife. It has varied and spectacular scenery, from lush banana plantations and pine forests to cinder deserts and cactus ravines - here you can travel from the subtropical temperatures to the snowline in less than 2 hours. There are several animal and ecology parks, two water parks for the fun-lovers, go kart tracks, a quad biking park, scuba diving, para gliding and much more for those of you looking for some adventure. On the other hand, you can just relax on the numerous beaches, pamper yourself with local spa facilities, or take in the beautiful scenery the island has to offer. There are boat trips to see the marine attractions, and jeep or coach trips to discover the many places of interest on land.
Playa de Las Americas
San Eugenio is another off-shot of big brother Playa de las Americas. You're ideally placed here for excellent beaches, and just a short walk from Puerto Colon harbour and numerous diving and pleasure boat trips. The pace is definitely slower here than in the heart of Playa de las Americas, and is a self contained resort with all you could need for a relaxing beach holiday. You won't be short of watersports choice, you've everything here from pedaloes to banana boat rides to jet skis and scuba diving. Nearby beaches in this area are all ideal for families, with excellent amenities close at hand. Access to the motorway is easy from here for those wishing to travel the island exploring. The new Siam Park has just opened and is within walking distance, and is said to be an Oriental adventure, not to be missed.
Lovely apartment with great location and sea view with two large balconies . We sat on the balcony every morning and evening, view was beautiful , we enjoyed it all the time.
We had a little misunderstanding with car parking but all resolved immediately -many thanks to Katya. We would love to come visit you again!
We just got back Friday 25th Nov 2016. Thoroughly impressed and pleased with the accommodation. It has everything it says in the advert. Loved it.
Ps we prearranged airport transport along with the accommodation. Worked like a dream!!!!
Thanks for a lovely holiday.
Set in a great location with sea views.Plenty of room for all 7 of us + everything provided .Recommended.Thanks to the owner.
Very comfortable and a good location, we have stayed at club Atlantis before and it is a well maintained complex, there was some initial confusion on booking but this was rectified with a quick response from the owner, we were met by Katia and her husband who were waiting even though our flight was early, a very friendly and helpful couple, the property was as described with very comfortable beds good uk tv reception and wi fi, very well equipped with a home from home feel. Good views from the top floor balcony with super sun beds and sun all day, my only criticism was the bits of old dried and plastic flowers and half full jars with goodness knows what in the kitchen, I understand that the owner has not had the property long and I hope that he has a clear out of all the junk that is about , having had that moan we would be happy to book again and recommend it to friends and family, thanks to Katia for your kindness.
We were a group of 5 people and stayed there for a week in February 2015. The place was exactly what the description said - 3 nice bedrooms, 2 big and comfortable baths, big and fully equipped kitchen and large living room, which we almost never used because of the 2 fantastic balconies with oceanwiev. Indeed the bungalow was clean and well maintained and the customer service was excellent. Having a garage (20 stairs away) really helped us feel safe about the rent-a-car. The location is perfect - on the promenade that goes next to the ocean. It is 5 minutes away from a very nice beach, 3 minutes from 24/7 Supermarket, 3 minutes from a complex with good restaurants that are not expensive. Also it is very close to a big shopping center. Best bars and discos (near Las Veronicas) are 15 minutes walk along the promenade away.
In my opinion a group 8 people can feel pretty comfortable in the bungalow and we already recommended the place to friends and relatives.
We would love to come visit you again Slava and Katya!

David Koch, a billionaire helping to bankroll ads attacking President Obama, will be a delegate at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
National Journal reports that the New York Republican Party lists Koch as an at-large delegate to the convention where Mitt Romney will be formally nominated.
Koch and his brother, Charles, are the major forces behind the conservative group Americans for Prosperity, which is currently funding a $27 million ad blitz against Obama.
In a statement sent to The Wall Street Journal, David Koch said he was honored to be one of New York's 95 GOP convention delegates.
"As Americans, we all have a role to play in the democratic process. From learning about the issues to participating in campaigns and voting, this is an opportunity, and a right, to help chart the course of our nation," Koch is quoted as saying.
A Romney fundraiser last month at David Koch's beachfront home in the Hamptons drew protesters, including some from the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Forbes magazine lists David Koch's net worth as $25 billion. He and his brother head Koch Industries, one of the largest privately held companies in the United States, with diversified holdings in oil, gas and chemicals.

KIIT Campus Placement:708 Students Picked Up By Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
Highest Placement Record in Eastern Region, Highest in India in Terms of Percent
KIIT University's strong brand continues to charm India's top recruiters with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) picking up a whopping 708 students in the campus placement on 18th September 2011. The selected students, who would be passing out in 2012, belong to B.Tech, M.Tech and MCA streams of the University. Job offer to so many students by a single company in campus placement on a single day is a record in Eastern India as well as another record in entire country in terms of percent.
Encouragingly, three out of four tribal students from Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) who participated in the selection process also got job in the IT major.
Recruiters from the Indian IT behemoth, who conducted the campus placement, were overwhelmed with the students' profile. KIIT students fared extremely well with 708 out of 915 students who went through the selection process making it to the final list.
Over the years, KIIT University has emerged as the favorite recruiting ground for TCS. Last year, the company had picked up 658 students in the campus placement from KIIT. It has been possible due to high employability of KIIT students due to their quality.
Like previous years, KIIT graduates continue to be in high demand both in IT and core companies. Besides TCS, companies including Shapoorji Pallonji, TATA Steel, Atkins, SAP and Deloittes also selected more than 100 KIIT students, whereas campus placement by companies like Wipro, Siemens, Capgemini, Aricent, Punjlloyd and Accenture are scheduled in the end of the month. It is just the start of placement season at KIIT and most of the students of 2012 passing out batch are placed. At the end of the placement season, each student is likely to have two to four job offers. Dr. A. Samanta, Founder, KIIT & KISS expressed his happiness at the selection of so many students (708) by TCS.

Phoenix Discussing Drone Legislation
(Kathy Cline, KFYI News) Taking and distributing pictures or videos via drone could be illegal in Phoenix by next year. District Six councilman Sal DiCiccio plans to introduce an ordinance against that soon.
"Individuals should be able to do anything lawful on their own property without an electronic Peeping Tom looking over their shoulder," he said.
District 7's Mike Nowakowski is co-sponsoring the legislation. Police would also need a warrant to use the drones over private property. Public hearings on the legislation should start in October.

Skype, other VoIP, may be illegal in China
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Internet, Software
According to a story in China's major newspaper, People's Daily, it appears that the Chinese government has declared all VoIP solutions not provided by the government's own China Telecom and China Unicorn to be illegal. This would make Skype, the most popular VoIP service, illegal as well. So far, Skype denies that it has been banned, and users in China keep using the service, but if the government were to apply this new rule, this would be a major drawback for Chinese users, and westerners traveling to the country.

The 3D Express Coach brings new meaning to 'Thru Traffic'
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Design, Science, Transportation
What do you do when you see a bus in the middle of the road? Drive through it, of course! Try that in America and you won't be around to see the results, but China may have the answer.
The Chinese engineer firm, Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment, is hard at work on a new transportation system, called the '3D Express Coach', that will allow road traffic to drive straight through their buses. This new bus design comes as a result of high traffic that has plagued China for some time now, to which the firm claims the 3D Express Coach will cut down on by 30 percent. The bus travels around 37 mph, and can transport over 1400 passengers.
Furthermore, to keep the risk of accident down, the 3D Express Coach will have alarms for cars travelling too close, or to signal when the bus is turning. As well as inflatable escape ladders à la the ones aboard airplanes to assist during emergencies. Construction on the 3D Express Coach will start later this year, with a pilot scheme in Beijing's Mentougou District beginning in the meantime.

Google: China Hackers Stole Valuable Source Code
Posted by Finnian Durkan Categories: Google, Internet
According to McAffee CTO George Kurtz the cyber-attacks that occurred in January targed a small number of employees who controlled source code management systems. These source code management systems handle the myriad changes that developers make as they write software, the breach of which can have a cascade effect across multiple levels of Google and as many as 30 other business targeted in the January attacks. Aside from being awesome and using 'cyber-attack' in a sentence, I also have some valuable source-code for sale at rock-bottom prices; check out my store at 'CyberNinjaAssassinCassanova138' on eBay.

LED Illuminated Message Board lights up your life, and drawings
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, Household, Misc. Tech
When I first saw the Illuminated Message Board, I wondered who could need such a showy product. Then I thought of all the businessmen who could use some extra attention-getter for their small shops, and I began to see a market for it.
You will notice that I didn't say who would want the LED Illuminated Message Board. The idea of owning a board that I could write glowing messages and pictures is a never-granted wish plucked from my own childhood. Sadly, the luminescent pics are not forever, but they do last 50,000 hours. All in all, it sounds like a good deal, as you should be able to get it at Chinavision for about $20.

YouTube Blocked By Chinese Government
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet
YouTube spokesperson Scott Rubin claims that the site is currently blocked in China and has been since Monday. It has not been formally determined whether it was purposeful or a technical glitch. This is not the first time this has happened, as earlier this month access was denied because of the 1 year anniversary of protests by Tibetans. Since January, the government has closed several sites that were popular with Tibet. Not the first to censor the site, China joins Turkey and Thailand's previous blockages.

Chinese Sites Apologize to Government
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet
Word has come down that after the Chinese government decided to limit Internet usage, 3 of the sites in question decided to apologize. Gaming sites NetEase and SINA were two of them. Baidu also issued one "to the netizens at large for the negative impacts we brought upon the society." They also claimed that they had deleted the content and links in question. The oddest remark came from the BBC's Micky Bristow who said China is trying to protect its young people. We will see where this goes and get back to you "youngsters."

China Limits Internet Usage, Cites Porn and Obscene Content
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Google, Internet
China has decided to cut back on their country's Internet access to porn and obscene content by blacklisting 19 portals and sites. Included in that list are Netease, Baidu and Google. The deputy director of the State Council Information Office, Cai Mingzhao, said "Immediate action is needed to purify the Internet environment."
Supposedly the Chinese Google has links to porn sites and although China's Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center asked them to take them off, nothing was done. A spokesperson there said, "Google is neither the owner of those Web sites and porn nor does it spread (that) information intentionally." We figure if someone wants to find that sort of content, there is always a way.

HK Lego User Group Beijing Olympics
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Toys
We love those Lego gadgets and couldn't pass this one up. About 4,500 people that comprise the Hong Kong Lego User Group were so inspired by the Beijing Olympics that they created their own version. The mini-tribute measures 10 x 26 ft. and took over 300,000 bricks. Included are the Birds' Nest Stadium, the Water Cube aquatic center (inside and out,) equestrians, cyclists, ping pong, and beach volleyball. It was recently on display at the Grand Century Palace in Hong Kong. We think it should go on tour. More pictures available via the link of the Daily Mail.

China Does A Milli Vanilli
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Editorial, Misc. Tech, Music
First we hear that some of the fireworks displayed during the opening night ceremonies in Beijing were a 3D CGI. Created by Crystal Digital Technology Co, the excuse was "for convenience and theatrical effects." Now we hear that China has used one little girl's pretty face to lip sync to another's voice. Okay, but is this the kind of image China wants to project? About 1 billion watched the ceremonies with about 34.2 million from the U.S. alone.

Words Written On Paper - Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom
Before you came into my life
the candle of love had burnt out
a long time ago
and I was left hard and cold.
I was left destitute by love and lovers
but you came into my life
and did change me,
you opened my eyes
and I found a deeper meaning to love
by words written in ink on paper
and with you,
you did bring the sun back
you lit up my life
with moonlight and starry nights
and you did woo me with verses of poetry
and with Shakespeare you did draw me
into you arms and I melted
and with you sonnets
you did convince me
to give love a second chance
and with your motorbike
you broke through the barriers of my heart
and you became my teacher and master
and you taught me about
rhythm and rhyme
and I became your protégée
and your poems were like bundles of roses,
like ointment that soothe the soul
and you did intrigue me and entangled me
and I was baffled and stunned by your knowledge
and you are my maker of words,
my word cavalier
and I was transformed, reborn
and my heart opened
and I was in love
and my knowledge increased
and you taught me
to look deeper than rhythm
and words on paper
and to see the poet's heart.
You introduced me to your old friends:
your books on the shelves
and we watched the biography
of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Platt
and we could relate to them
in many ways.
My world did expand
and my mind did evolve
and I fell in love
with stories and images
that was written on paper
and you did recite
some beautiful poems to me
and did draw me into
another kind of world
and I fell in love with you
when I saw your poetic heart
and today I do know
that I do love you so.

ANAHEIM -- He's been on a roll for a while now, but even to his manager, C.J. Wilson was a "notch above" Saturday night.
For the first time all season, Wilson pitched into the ninth inning, giving up no runs and only three hits, but was still aware of the slippery slope in his profession.
"Comfort's like a four-letter word in baseball," Wilson said after the Angels' 2-0 victory over Oakland at Angel Stadium. "You get too comfortable, and guys start whacking you all over the place. So you have to stay adamant and stay vigilant, I think that's what it is.
"It's like workplace safety - if there hasn't been an incident in 99 days, then you're looking to extend that streak and that's kind of the way it is."
With some defensive help from third baseman Alberto Callaspo and left fielder J.B. Shuck, Wilson (10-6) won his sixth game in his last seven starts. He was so effective, he was receiving a standing ovation from the crowd before Manager Mike Scioscia arrived to the mound to replace him in the ninth inning.
"It was command," Scioscia said. "His ball-strike ration was incredible up to about pitch 90. He had pitches he was getting ahead with, pitches he was putting guys away with, didn't have to get back into too many counts. Today, he was a notch above."
Josh Hamilton drove in a first-inning run with a sacrifice fly and Callaspo homered to lead off the seventh as the Angels recorded their seventh shutout of the year and shut down the A's for the second straight night following Jered Weaver's performance Friday.
For Wilson, it was the third outing in his last six that he did not give up a run. Since early June, he has whittled his earned-run average from 4.02 to 3.15.
"This whole year it's been more of a theme - my first-pitch strike percentage is up considerably, like 10 percent higher," Wilson said. "It's something I'm getting better at as I get my mechanics refined. Pitching is kind of like golf, the more experience you get, you learn how to stay within yourself."
And when the A's hit their spots, the Angels defense was there. In the sixth with one out, Coco Crisp lined a shot to hole but Callaspo dived to his left make the play. The next batter, Chris Young, looped a hit toward the left field line but Shuck raced in to make a diving catch.
"That was 100 percent awesome," Wilson said. "If J.B. misses that ball, Young is on second or third base. The play Callaspo made diving - he's kind of had his ups and downs throwing this year - he made a great play right there, so it was cool."
Following Wilson's exit after he gave up a single to Jed Lowrie, Ernesto Frieri came on to strike out two for his 24th save.
Wilson allowed two hits out of the first five batters he faced and then simply became untouchable for the next six innings, retiring 18 batters in a row.
All the while he was protecting a 1-0 lead after the Angels scratched for a run in the first inning when Hamilton drove home Mike Trout with a sacrifice fly. Trout reached base when he was a grazed by a pitch Dan Straily (6-3), then took third on a single to right by Albert Pujols.
It was the 13th consecutive game the Angels have won when Hamilton had at least one RBI.

Minnesota Man Pleads Guilty in Fatal Crash
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – An Eden Prairie man has pleaded guilty in a drunken driving crash that killed his passenger last August.
The Hennepin County Attorney's office says 48-year-old Randoll Guy Sloan pleaded guilty Tuesday, the day his trial was scheduled to begin.
Sloan pleaded guilty to the three counts of criminal vehicular homicide he was charged with. Sentencing is set for July 31.
Prosecutors say Sloan and his nephew, Kyle Boline, were driving Aug. 1 when Sloan's convertible missed a curve, hit a power pole and flipped over. Both men were thrown from the car.
According to the complaint, Sloan's blood-alcohol level was 0.19 percent, more than twice Minnesota's legal limit of 0.08 percent.

Course Summary – Populations and Ecosystems (1st Ed.)
The FOSS Populations and Ecosystems Course explores ecosystems as the largest organizational unit of life on Earth, defined by its physical environment and the organisms that live in the physical environment. Students learn that every organism has a role to play in its ecosystem and has structures and behaviors that allow it to survive. Students raise populations of organisms to discover population dynamics and interactions over a range of conditions. They learn that food is the source of energy used by all life forms in all ecosystems to conduct life processes. Reproduction, including limiting factors, heredity and natural selection are explored as ways to understand both the similarity and the variation within and between species.
For a description of each investigation in the Populations and Ecosystems Course and the correlations to the National Science Education Standards, download the Course Summary PDF.
To view the PDF version of the course summary, you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in. Acrobat Reader is available free from Adobe.

Canyon Ranch founder Melvin "Mel" Zuckerman was born in 1928 to Norman and Shirley Zuckerman in Jersey City, N.J. While growing up in Hackensack, N.J., his severe asthma limited his activity, but he excelled in his studies, graduating from Hackensack High School in 1946 and then earning a bachelor's degree in accounting from New York University.
While in college, in 1949, a childhood friend invited him for a visit him to San Francisco. During the trip, he fell in love with the West and decided that was where he belonged. But first he worked in accounting for 10 years in New Jersey and Florida.
When he married Enid Slotkin, in 1953, she made it known that she wasn't leaving her family in New Jersey. Their son Jay was born in 1955, and three years later, Enid decided she was willing to give the West a shot.
With Enid pregnant with their daughter Amy, the family left Hackensack. They drove for five weeks around the western United States, then headed to Yuma so his wife and son could rest and visit her sister. Zuckerman continued the search for a new home, eventually ending up in Tucson.
He visited Sabino Canyon and decided he wanted to live near the waterfalls, mountains and natural beauty. Once here, he decided he didn't want to be an accountant anymore and spent several months working for a building company and learning the trade.
In 1960, Zuckerman and a partner formed Harmony Homes. One of their early subdivisions was Melody Lane Estates, near Wetmore Road and La Cholla Boulevard. He chose the name because it went well with Harmony Homes, and he named two streets after his kids: Jay Avenue and Amy Drive.
In 1962, he bought 400 acres near Sabino Canyon Road for subdivisions to be called Sabino Vista. His goal was to create high-quality homes for lawyers, doctors and other professionals, but a serious decline in the economy made business tough. Along with financial stress and family difficulties, Zuckerman had gained a lot of weight on his nightly half gallon of ice cream and was in poor physical shape.
In the 1970s business began to improve and, in 1977, Zuckerman was president of the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association.
After his father died of lung cancer that year, he decided it was time to change his life. He went to a health resort in California in March 1978 and not only lost 29 pounds, but felt a calling to help others regain their health. "I want to feel like this forever," he told his wife on their way home.
The Zuckermans decided to open a health resort in Tucson. They visited the Double U Dude Ranch, south of Snyder Road, and felt the land had a magical quality, although the ranch was in disrepair. They bought the 42-acre ranch in May of 1978 and decided to call it Canyon Ranch, a name derived from Sabino Canyon and the Double U Dude Ranch.
They considered razing the old run-down ranch buildings but feared that tearing them down might damage the energy of the place and scare away the wildlife. They rebuilt them instead.
During construction, Zuckerman and his new partner, Jerry Cohen, needed more money to finish the project, but no banks would help. Jim Click, a fledgling car dealer at the time and partial owner of a bank, offered a loan and told Zuckerman, "We believe in you."
Canyon Ranch opened on Dec. 20, 1979, with 66 rooms and a staff of 88.
The Zuckermans soon moved onto the ranch, and while filling the role of president, Mel also carried bags, swept the portico and hosed down the driveway. His wife made beds, cleared tables and assisted guests.
Zuckerman hired fitness trainer Karma Kientzler, who had helped him lose weight in California, to run the ranch's fitness team, and he hired Phyllis Hochman to run the hiking program after she worked for free for months to prove it would be popular.
While Zuckerman was skeptical of the value of astrology, a session with astrologer Nancy Bissel convinced him it had a place at his new resort. He created a metaphysical department that includes astrology, handwriting analysis and clairvoyant readings.
In 1981, Canyon Ranch Drive, the main street through the resort, was recorded with Pima County.
In 1982, with business slowly climbing, Time magazine ran an article on the resort in its April 12, 1982, issue. Soon other media followed with Glamour, Vogue, Mademoiselle, Money and others running stories.
From 1985 to 1989, Canyon Ranch went from 66 rooms to 190 rooms with condominiums and private homes. It also opened the Health & Healing Center, with medical doctors who might prescribe meditation, acupuncture or reiki instead of drugs.
In 1989, the Zuckermans opened a second Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Mass., and later opened one in Miami Beach that also includes condominiums. They also have day spas at the Venetian and the Palazzo resorts in Las Vegas and on several cruise lines.
In 2010, Zuckerman wrote an autobiography, "The Restless Visionary," and the following year he wrote "Mel's Tips for Healthy Living."
Dec. 20, 2014, will mark the 35th anniversary of Canyon Ranch in Tucson. It is still operated by Zuckerman, now 86. He and his wife also are the namesake of the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona.

MONETA, Va. — John Crews doesn't believe in bad luck. Just bad execution.
The Virginian angler fished his way from a distant 89th place on Day One to 39th to 10th and ultimately finished in eighth place on the final day of the Blue Ridge Brawl presented by Advance Auto Parts.
"That first day was so frustrating for me," Crews said. "I knew where they were but just couldn't boat the big fish."
But Crews never got discouraged. Even with the added pressure associated with being the "local guy," Crews managed to regroup from the first day and stay focused.
Crews started the tournament at a spot he had known about for years. He hooked into a 3-pounder on a crankbait in his first few casts. But as he sped the fish closer to the boat and attempted to swing it onto the deck, the fish got loose. Perhaps he was overly excited or maybe it was the nerves, but Crews faulted himself harshly.
"I should have fought him and really tired him out, but I was just so fired up that I just tried to yank him into the boat quickly," Crews said.
For the remainder of Day One, he admitted to being scared to throw the crankbait.
The subsequent days, however, quelled those fears. Conditions forced him to revisit the crankbait, and he mixed it up by throwing the worm. Crews kept on the Blackwater side of the stream-fed lake, a side he knows best from fishing the lake from childhood, and he grew more successful and more confident by the day.
Kriet on personal privacy
Jeff Kriet was asked before the final weigh-in exactly why he didn't like spawn fishing, a key factor throughout the tournament.
"Man, if I was spawning, I wouldn't want anyone messing with me, would you?" Kriet asked the host.
The Oklahoma angler finished the tournament tied for 32nd place.
A zoo of a morning for Shimizu
According to Morizo Shimizu, he "has bad friends."
Fellow anglers who failed to make the final day cut found a giant, plastic giraffe head Saturday night and brought it back to Shimizu's room. Propping it against the Japanese angler's door, the fake animal was there to wish Shimizu good morning when he left for the lake around 4 a.m.
Dave Wolak's hideaway
Dave Wolak stayed away from the main lake for most of the final day.
"I stayed up at the top of the river because it was so clear and I hadn't hit it all week," he said.
Wolak had marked the spot on the first day and simply never had a chance to get to this hole. Wolak pulled a 10-pound day, good for 12th place, by throwing a little known craw called the "crawpappy."


text: LAHORE - Pakistan cricket team captain Misbahul Haq Friday said that he hoped his team would continue the winning spree of their one-day international in the Asia Cup which will commence in Bangladesh next week. Pakistan will open the defence of the title, which they won under the captaincy of Misbah in 2012, with a match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Talking to the reporters on the last day of a training camp, Misbah said: "For me, every team is favourite to win the Asia Cup but we definitely have the edge as we have won our last two one-day series." Pakistan won a three-match series in South Africa 2-1 before taking a five-match series against Sri Lanka in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 3-2 in December last year. Five-time Asian champions India, hosts Bangladesh and Afghanistan are the other teams in the event which runs until March 8. Misbah believed hosts Bangladesh were also dangerous. "In their home conditions, Bangladesh will also be very dangerous because the way they played in the last Asia Cup, beating India and Sri Lanka, they will be equally dangerous," the skipper added. Misbah said because of the twin wins, Pakistan had an ideal combination. "We have given good performances and because we won the last two series, the combination is good and when we are on a winning run, our confidence is high," said Misbah. Misbah refused to reveal his plans when asked about when he would hang up his boots. "I don't know why people are after me," said a visibly irked 39-year-old, who leads Pakistan in Tests and one-day matches. "I want to play with commitment as long as I play," said Misbah, the world's leading scorer in one-days in 2013 with 1,373. Despite his form, there remain concerns who will lead Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup to be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Pakistan will fly to Dhaka on Saturday.

Seth Rogen and Zac Efron Bring "Neighbors" to 2014 SXSW
Bringing their latest movie to an exciting event, Seth Rogen and Zac Efron premiered "Neighbors" at the 2014 SXSW Music, Film & Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas on Saturday (March 8).
While the scruffy funny man classed it up with a gray suit and light gray dress shirt with matching tie, his younger co-star went casual in a blue jacket, gray T-shirt, and blue jeans.
In the upcoming comedy, a couple with a newborn baby find a world of trouble with a fraternity moves in next door.
Directed by Nicholas Stoller, the film also stars Dave Franco, Rose Byrne, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. "Neighbors" hits theaters on May 9th.

The Greek physician Hippocrates of Cos (ca. 460 – 377 BCE), said once: "avoid all citations from the poets, for to quote from them argues feeble industry." He did not have a similar opinion about citations of scientific results.
These days, the Hubble Space Telescope has passed yet another milestone. There have been more than 300,000 citations in scientific papers to results based on Hubble data. To be precise, on November 5, 2009, the number of citations was 301,373.
Think about this for a moment. This means that on average, every day since Hubble's launch, there have been more than 40 citations to Hubble-based research!
One could hardly have expected a higher level of scientific impact. No wonder then, that when particle physicists expressed their ambitions for the Large Hadron Collider – the enormous particle accelerator near Geneva – they said that they "hope the machine will be a sort of Hubble Space Telescope of inner space."
