Networking & Communications Software
PC Magazine provides up-to-date coverage and product reviews of Networking & Communications Software
Bottom Line: Spiceworks Network Monitor is a slick network monitoring package with enough extra features to be a one-stop IT shop for small to midsize businesses (SMBs).
Bottom Line: Metageek Wi-Spy + Chanalyzer 5 not only displays information about a wireless environment in visually stunning layouts, it informs you about interference sources and just about everything else happening with Wi-Fi in your network.
Bottom Line: The Rotten WiFi Android app gives users the ability to call out the awful and reward the good when it comes to connectivity at hotels, airports, and other public hotspots. It's the voice of the people, backed by numbers from a reliable Internet speed test.
Bottom Line: The inSSIDer Wi-Fi Helper app is a good starting point for average users seeking to boost wireless performance, but it lacks specific advice on how to optimize a Wi-Fi network.
Bottom Line: Wickr makes it easy to send self-destructing messages securely, and it now adds photo editing to the mix. It's the best secure messaging service for Android.
Bottom Line: Even though inSSIDer for Android is lacking a few of the capabilities of the desktop version, you still get the same important Wi-Fi-optimization information. If you use Android devices, it's worth adding to your digital tool belt.
Bottom Line: This Networking-as-a-Service solution lets you quickly spin up a network in the cloud made up of physical computers, servers, virtual machines, and now mobile devices. Pertino is a maturing and increasingly intriguing platform aimed at regular users, though it still requires some networking know-how that may be beyond non-IT types.
Bottom Line: The Cloudcheck app for Android helps average users troubleshoot wireless and Internet connection problems. An audio counter that gauges Wi-Fi signal strength may be useful; otherwise, this app is light on features.
Bottom Line: NetHero for Android helps give you a deeper understanding of your home networks, but it's not that useful for actively helping you fix network problems
Bottom Line: NetHero helps give you a deeper understanding of your home networks, but it's not that useful for actively helping you fix network problems.

Democrats choose partisan zeal over participating in the great Arizona recovery
Republicans passed a budget this week and, as usual, we did so without the help of Democrats.

Lawmakers, Brewer plan $50M sweep of money intended for foreclosure crisis
Housing advocacy organizations are crying foul over a proposed sweep of $50 million from a multistate mortgage settlement, and one group is threatening to sue to stop Gov.

Budget doc reveals money stashed for 'rainy days' ahead
Lawmakers and the governor plan to set aside $450 million to offset anticipated deficits in the state budget in two years.
That's money that won't be available for critical needs now, but depositing it in the state's "rainy day" fund reaffirms a fiscally conservative outlook that has dominated the Capitol following the fiscal crisis that led to several years of incessant budget slashing.
GOP compromise budget gives $450M to rainy day fund, $7M to tourism
As Republican lawmakers begin to receive briefings on the budget deal that GOP leaders and the Governor's Office agreed to in principle April 25, details are beginning to emerge.
The major sticking point between the two sides has been revenue projections — not just for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1, but also for the following two years. Though Gov. Jan Brewer had been unwilling to adopt the Legislature's more cautious revenue estimates, it appears she had a change of mind.
Despite Brewer's demand for a budget, lawmakers passing – and holding – other bills
The Legislature is sitting on at least a dozen measures it has already approved instead of sending them to the governor, a decision that follows Gov. Jan Brewer's threat of a blanket veto of all bills that land on her desk before a budget is adopted.Read More »
Republican budget talks moving again
Gov. Jan Brewer and legislative leaders resumed talks on the budget Thursday, three days after the governor told them to stop sending her bills until they get the state's spending plan completed.
The meeting seemed to reaffirm the two sides' commitment to negotiate the state budget within the Republican Party. The meeting came as some GOP lawmakers considered the possibility of joining with Democrats to pass a veto-proof budget.
Republicans mulling Dem alliance after veto threat
After weeks of budget talks with no agreement in sight, Gov. Jan Brewer gave legislative leaders an ultimatum, telling them she would veto bills until work on the state's spending plan is complete.
But rather than force a quicker budget resolution, it could result in more heartburn between the two sides. In fact, there were indications some Republicans might be taking a look at abandoning negotiations with the governor in favor of working with Democrats to ensure a veto-proof super majority behind a budget.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Volkswagen is the latest carmaker to say it is not interested in acquiring money-losing Chrysler from DaimlerChrysler (DCX). But at least four private-equity groups have had preliminary talks about buying Chrysler, according to a report in the Financial Times newspaper.
Christine Ritz, a spokeswoman for Volkswagen, said Friday that Europe's biggest automaker was not interested in acquiring the U.S. unit of the world's fifth-largest automaker, if it is put up for sale.
VW joins the Renault-Nissan auto alliance and Hyundai Motor, which said earlier they were not interested in acquiring Chrysler.
DaimlerChrysler, which said last week that all options were on the table for its U.S. division, is planning to offer detailed financial information about Chrysler only to selective buyers, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The automaker and its investment bank, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), are working together to explore a sale, the paper reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
Meanwhile, at least four private-equity groups have had preliminary talks about buying Chrysler, according to a report Friday in the Financial Times newspaper.
Apollo Management, the Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group and Cerberus Capital Management, along with several European private-equity groups, were contacted about a potential buyout before DaimlerChrysler announcement, the newspaper said, also citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
DaimlerChrysler had no comment Friday. The company has kept quiet since announcing last week that it had not ruled out any options for Chrysler — which, until a year ago, had kept the automaker profitable amid quality issues at the Mercedes Car Group.
But a failure to discern American consumers' changing tastes for more fuel-efficient models instead of light trucks led the German-American automaker to announce plans to eliminate 13,000 jobs in the U.S. and Canada, or about 16% of its workforce, and shutter a plant in Delaware in a bid to shave costs.
DaimlerChrysler's fourth-quarter earnings plunged 40% on weaker demand at the Chrysler unit, where sales fell 7%. Chrysler had an operating loss of 1.12 billion euros ($1.47 billion) for the year, compared to a profit of 1.53 billion euros in 2005.
Chrysler Group Chief Executive Tom LaSorda told the company's U.S. and Canadian dealers Thursday that Chrysler will make it through the current tough times.
He said the company will continue to invest $5.7 billion to $6 billion per year on future products, rolling out 20 new vehicles during the next three years and 12 updated ones between by 2009.
"Do these sound like the actions of a company uncertain about its future?" he asked. "Obviously not."

New York Couple Lives In Cemetery
Here's a creepy Halloween story for you…this couple has lived in a cemetery for the past 13 years. Oh yeah, they're alive too.
The couple has been living at the cemetery RENT free for the past 13 years. All they have to do is pay attention to the grounds and keep trespassers away. So, it's a pretty easy gig.
A puppy as well as two cats even live with the couple in the Queens, New York abode. Well, there's the 70,000 neighbors to contend with as well. LOL
The duo has several grandchildren who, they say, aren't afraid to play outside. We know we wouldn't be able to.

Arizona Proposition 204: Similar to Obama stimulus act
Supporters of Prop 204 are passing around an email loaded with misleading information.
First of all, they claim that the passage on infrastructure funding was included because "noted economists" advised them it would create jobs. "The quickest way to turn around the economy was to invest in education and infrastructure, specifically highway and roads", a supporter of Prop. 204 breathlessly writes.
Really? That sounds like almost the exact same thing that supporters of President Obama's trillion dollar stimulus package said when it was passed in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Nearly a trillion dollars was added to the national debt as a result of economists' claims that building roads and spending on schools would create jobs. It didn't, and unemployment continued to increase before eventually stalling out at over 8%, where it remains today.
Laws aimed at stimulating the economy through government spending do not create jobs. All they do is take money from taxpayers — in this case, one cent at a time — and redistribute it to causes aligned with the Democratic party base. For example, this law would direct not only hundreds of millions of dollars at (unionized) teachers every single year, but also send funding to construction contractors, universities, child health care programs, public transit, and various other spending items.
The email also claims that Prop 204 would increase per-pupil spending by $625 each year. Perhaps that's a bloated figure – taxes rarely raise as much revenue as their advocates believe they will – but it's closer to the reality of what Prop 204 will feel like for those paying the bill than the "one cent for education" concept. Yes, Prop 204 only raises taxes by one cent per dollar spent. But how much is that really over the course of a month or a year?

"Brick Mansions" requires taking too many bricks to the head

After what seemed like way to long to get done Diablo 3 will be gracing your game screen on May 15 of this year. (more…)
It's pretty obvious that Microsoft is looking at 2013 for the release of their next generation Xbox console. I've been reading a ton of rumors out there, and I wanted to consolidate some of them and re-iterate some that seem pretty likely.
1. It'll be out in 2013 – There is a lot of speculation that 2013 E3 will be the premiere of the new xbox.
2. Some codenames for the new box might be the Xbox "Loop" or Xbox "Durango" – Microsoft doesn't usually use their code names as the final product name. For example: Kinect was originally called Project Natal.
3. Cloud storage and no discs – I've been seeing on a lot of MS rumor sites that they are considering using an all internet delivery/gameplay system. While I can see that as cool since I love being able to download games whenever I feel like it, but that would essentially kill the used games. I also am cautious about how MS will market this. Having all digital games would indicate that games would be cheaper since you don't have to pay for things like plastic and box art. However, on demand games are usually not that much cheaper. This also leads me to think they're considering killing off the whole MS points thing which sucks anyway.
4. Windows 8 – One of the more interesting ones out there, but considering MS is going with an single OS ecosystem on its computers it would make sense to have a similar experience on their gaming console. Would be an interesting move to offer all of the Win8 apps and options on a T.V. console.
5. Lots and lots of Kinect – Love or hate it, but Kinect is here to stay. MS crushed the motion controls market and the last update added more Kinect functionality. I'm sure games will all have voice controls and you'll be able to do even more gesture things with the new Xbox.
As I read about any other things I'll post them up here. I for one am looking forward to checking it out.
I've been on this planet for 31 years and about 25 of those have been spent playing video games. Now that you read that you are clearly jealous. Despite all of the games I have played, there area I have always had this list of games I have never beaten. This year I've decided I'm going to start a "bucket list" of games I want to beat. This is the list of Nintendo list. (more…)
Decided to become an audio snob recently. So after doing some research I found a DIY project that, in the end, leaves you with a pair of headphones that compete with the big boys.This exact mod I did was named "thunderpants" by the original creator (Smeggy) from www.head-fi.org. If done properly, a $100 pair of Fostex T50RP headphones will turn into a pair of custom wood headphones which, on frequency charts, match up to $1000+ pairs such the Hi-Fi headphones by Audeze , HiFi Man , Sennheiser and BeyerDynamic.

The Will Turner of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy has nailed a role in the coming-of-age drama set in 1960s entitled 'An Education'.
The blacksmith-turned-pirate in "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy Orlando Bloom has landed himself a role in drama film "An Education". According to Variety, the 31-year-old movie star will be joining the already star-studded cast, including Peter Sarsgaard, Rosamund Pike and Emma Thompson.
Though it still isn't clear which character he will be portraying, it is understood that he will act alongside recent casting members, Alfred Molina and Sally Hawkins, as well. In this coming-of-age film, the co-star of Kirsten Dunst in "Elizabethtown" will be acting under the direction of Denmark filmmaker Lone Scherfig.
Penned by Nick Hornby, "Education" is set in 1960s London and tells the story of a 17-year-old girl, played by rising actress Carey Mulligan, who fell head over heels to a man way older than her because of his dazzling high profile life. Scheduled to start filming in London in March and April, the film is slated to hit theaters sometime in 2008.

Here you can find the most frequently asked questions.
If you cannot find the answer to your question please contact us for further assistance.
Q. Are LED's really as good as traditional bulbs?
A. YES! Our LED's are equivalent in not only light output but also colour replication. Other LED's on the market have previously produced a very dull or low light, as well as taking time to get to full power and having a blue colour tone. Our bulbs are true replacements for your traditional lamps without compromising on power or performance. To see what our customers thought please read our testimonials.
Q. Are the LED's environmentally friendly?
A. Yes, our bulbs do not contain any Mercury or lead, or produce harmful UV or infrared beams. They run cool which means they only heat up to maximum 55° Celsius unlike traditional lamps that can heat up to 400° Celsius. This cool running mean you are less reliant on air conditioning to cool the room and produce far less C02. But the big difference is the 50,000 hour lifespan*, this means our lamps last up to 25 times longer than a tradition 2000 hour halogen bulb. That's 25 less ladders to climb! For information on government incentives please read our environmentally friendly page.
Q. Are the LED's dimmable?
A. Most of our LED range in dimmable, but you may need to change either the module on the back of your dimmer or the dimmer itself. This is because most dimmers work with a minimum load, if the minimum load is not reached it will not power the lights.
As an example if the minimum load is 30w per switch and you have 2 traditional bulbs running 50w each the total load is 100w, but 2 led's may only draw 4.5w each with a total load of 9w thus not reaching the minimum power required to power the bulbs. What this basically means is that the LED don't draw enough power for the switch to notice!
Q. What are the main advantages of LED's?
A. These are the main advantages
- They use far less power, meaning you could reduce your lighting bill by over 90%
- They have huge lifespans, meaning you could change the lamps 25x less than existing lamps
- They are retro fit, so no need to change existing fittings
- They run cool, meaning they don't heat up past 55° Celsius so less need for costly air conditioning
- They are robust, as they are not gas pressured or have a filament they are much less delicate than traditional lamps.
Q. What are lumens?
A. Lumens is the way we measure light emanating from its source. The higher the lumen the more light is produced. For a more in depth look at lumens please see our lumen page.
Q. What are Kelvins?
A. This is the way of measuring the colour temperature in light. Our colour temperatures range from 2700 kelvins which is a yellow colour (warm white) up to 6000+ kelvins which is a brilliant white colour (cool daylight). Choosing the right colour temperature can make a big impact on the feel of the room, for more information on the colours please see our description page.
Q. What does ROI mean?
A. ROI means Return On Investment, this shows how soon you make your money back on you initial investment. So as an example if you initially spent £200 on lights the ROI is how many months it will take you to save £200 in your energy bills. To see how this has worked out for our customers please see our case studies.

MasterCard, which had sponsored the World Cup for 16 years, will drop its sponsorship of the next two World Cups under a $90 million settlement with FIFA announced on Thursday. FIFA will pay $87.5 million by June 30 and $2.5 million by Sept. 30.
"We have made a decision after taking a hard look at the facts and circumstances, that substantial financial compensation to MasterCard, along with severing the relationship between our two companies, at the end of the day was in the best interests of MasterCard's customers and shareholders," MasterCard's general counsel, Noah Hanft, said on a conference call.
MasterCard sued FIFA in April 2006 after FIFA awarded the sponsorship for the next two World Cups to rival Visa. MasterCard claimed it had right of first refusal on future sponsorship agreements. MasterCard won in U.S. District Court, but an appeals court last month ordered a review of that ruling. FIFA wanted an arbitration panel in Switzerland, where it is headquartered, to decide the matter. According to FIFA, the settlement also covered a protracted marketing dispute between FIFA and MasterCard regarding the two hemispheres logo.
As part of the settlement, FIFA and MasterCard agreed to terminate legal proceedings in the United States and Switzerland.
"FIFA has, first of all, resolved a problem," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said, "and, secondly - much more importantly - has paved the way to a good, new partner that will support it and its manifold activities efficiently all around the world."
Visa will be one of only six FIFA partners as soccer's world governing body narrows down its main sponsors. The others will be Adidas, Hyundai, Coca-Cola, Sony, Visa and Emirates Airlines.

They said that the security forces have been placed on high alert.
The move comes ahead of a warning by rebels that big businesses will be forced to close from Tuesday.
The rebels also say they will block roads linking Kathmandu with the rest of the country from Wednesday in protest over "government repression".
'Serious consequences'
The home ministry said adequate security measures have been put in place, but did not elaborate.
The BBC's Sushil Sharma in Kathmandu says that there have been concerns of violence following Maoist threats to shut down some big industries in Kathmandu and neighbouring districts.
The rebels say that Tuesday's move is aimed at protesting over the alleged exploitation of labourers.
In a statement last week, the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry - an umbrella organisation of Nepalese entrepreneurs - called for an end to attempts to disrupt business.
The All Nepal Trade Union Federation - the labour wing of the Maoist rebels - had earlier warned of serious consequences if the businesses defied the call for a shut-down.
They threatened to force an indefinite closure of 10 big business ventures including a leading hotel in the capital, Kathmandu, with effect from 17 August.
"We had placed an 11-point demand including the release of our federation activists and stopping the exploitation of workers but the government ignored our request," federation chairman Salikram Jamkatel said in a statement.
The industries and businesses concerned have denied the allegations.
The rebels have also threatened to block roads linking Kathmandu with the rest of the country with effect from Wednesday, in protest at the alleged repression of their supporters by government forces.
They have been engaged in an armed struggle since 1996 to replace the monarchy with a communist republic.
Nine thousand people have died in violence between the rebels and the security forces since then.
Violence has risen sharply after peace talks broke down last year.

In his Nowruz message to Iran, President Barack Obama is using the most effective diplomatic tool at his disposal - his new face.
The line put out by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the rightwing Iranian press is that Obama is just a continuation of Bush by other means – American imperialist business as usual. But by sending out a video on satellite television and online, with a direct spoken message, Obama undermines that claim and drains some of the fuel from Ahmadinejad's anger-driven political machine.
The dilemma that faced Obama and his advisers was how to extend a hand to Iran without giving a lift to Ahmadinejad's campaign for re-election in June. They did not want him to be able to claim that his hostile stance to the west had made the US and its allies softer and more compliant. They needed to show that the Iranian president's policies and personality were exacting a cost to Iran, but that it was an unnecessary cost.
The reference to "threats" is instrumental. Obama is drawing attention to the boorish side of Ahmadinejad, the menacing tone towards Israel and questioning of the Holocaust, which makes many of his fellow Iranians cringe. It serves also as a sly means for Obama to disown his predecessor's style.
The 600-word address is perhaps most noticeable for the words left out. For once there is no mention of Iran's nuclear programme – something most Iranians support in principle but which is the focus of the standoff with the west. To have rehearsed those arguments would have signalled business as usual, the same old impasse, and detracted from the "new beginning" theme. Make no mistake, all of that is still on the table, but Obama is reasoning that on first introductions, it pays to stick to what you have in common.

Robertson Colony Collection Office Records:
A Guide
Historical Note
In 1976, The University of Texas at Arlington was given the opportunity to purchase a portion of the Sterling Clack Robertson family papers belonging to Mr. Thomas Sutherland, a Robertson descendant and cousin of Dr. Malcolm D. McLean, compiler and editor of the series entitled, Papers Concerning Robertson's Colony in Texas. At that time, Dr. McLean was on the faculty at Texas Christian University and had most of the Robertson papers in his possession, including Mr. Sutherland's portion. In addition, he had already completed three volumes of the series dealing with these papers.
It became apparent that if the university purchased Sutherland's portion of the Robertson papers it would seriously disrupt Dr. McLean's work. It was at this time that a plan was devised whereby UT Arlington would be able to purchase Sutherland's share and also hire Dr. McLean to finish his lifelong work on the papers at UT Arlington. As Dr. McLean modestly described it, "I came along as part of a package deal." The truth of the matter was that the university realized the importance of Dr. McLean's work and did not want to miss an opportunity to "acquire" him as well as the papers.
An office was designed on the 6th floor of the library to house the Robertson Colony Collection. It was in this office that Dr. McLean continued compiling and editing the series beginning with Volume IV. Dr. McLean retired from UT Arlington on September 1, 1992, after he had completed preparing the manuscript for Volume XVIII, the final volume in the series.
The papers that make up Collection AR341 reflect the daily operation of the Robertson Colony office. This includes all business correspondence and the papers dealing with the processing, compiling, editing, and publishing of the series.
Scope and Contents
Correspondence Series (Boxes 1-37) contains copies of all correspondence to and from Dr. McLean dating from the early 1960s to 1993. This is a collection of letters, which generally are of a business nature. However, there is some personal correspondence. The material also includes office memos, invitations to functions and newsletters from various organizations. The files are arranged alphabetically.
Biography Series (Boxes 38-71) contains biographical material on individuals with connections to the Robertson Colony. These files are arranged alphabetically.
Manuscript Series (Boxes 72-124) contains Dr. McLean's handwritten drafts for each volume of the Papers Concerning Robertson's Colony In Texas. These files are arranged chronologically by the date each volume was published.
Folder File Series (Boxes 125-154) contains a variety of documents ranging from invitations to Dr. McLean's "autograph parties," which were held to announce the publication of his latest book, to newspapers clippings on bluebonnets. In this series can be found a small collection of maps on Texas and Mexico as well as copies of various Texas newspapers. Materials are filed alphabetically.
Publicity Series (Boxes 155-167) contains reviews of the Papers Concerning Robertson's Colony In Texas, as well as articles on Dr. and Mrs. McLean that appeared in various newspapers and magazines. This series begins in 1937 and continues up to 1993. It is filed chronologically.
Open for research.

Potential Test Questions:
1. Describe the structure and proposed mechanism of action of the ionophore valinomycin. How is the structure of valinomycin suited to its role? Contrast valinomycin with the structure of the lactose permease. How does the mechanism of solute translocation for a carrier protein like lactose permease differ from that of valinomycin?
2. Diagram and describe the structure of the gramicidin channel. Explain the fluctuations in current observed when a voltage is applied across a membrane containing gramicidin, bathed on both sides with salt solution. What is thought to be the mechanism of gramicidin gating (channel opening and closing)?
|3. Describe the Ca++-ATPase (SERCA) of endoplasmic reticulum membranes, including its reaction cycle, its functional activity, and its homology to other known ion pumps. On the diagram at right, indicate the approximate location of each of the following domains, and indicate their roles: membrane domain, cytosolic domain, Ca++-binding sites, Asp351. What is the role of Asp351?
4. a. What is the basis for the fluctuations in recorded current
in a patch clamp recording from a membrane containing a single ion channel? Diagram and explain how
channel conductance is determined from such a patch clamp recording.
b. How can current amplitude histograms (summarizing occupancy of different current levels during patch clamp recordings) be used to test for factors that regulate channel gating? What would be the expected effect on the current amplitude histogram of a reagent that induces channel opening?
Studio Exercise: Patch Clamping Data Analysis
|A brief recording of current from an excised patch containing apparently a single ion channel is shown
below. Current was recorded with the voltage clamped at -60 mV, in medium of 150 mM K+. Each line of recording represents 102 milliseconds.
In the diagram below the bar at left is a scale marker designating 20 pico-Amperes of current (20 X 10-12 Amp). Note that at a negative voltage, channel opening results in a downward deflection, corresponding to a larger negative current (see at right).
|The current
amplitude histogram at right was generated
with the program PCLAMP. It summarizes the occupancy of current levels during a few
seconds of the same recording. The vertical axis is a compilation of the amount of
time the channel spent at each current level.
If the patch contains a single channel that fluctuates between 2 states, open and closed, there should be 2 peaks in the current amplitude histogram, representing open and closed states. The baseline current, when the channel is closed, is due to leakiness of the seal between the membrane and the patch pipet, and permeability of the bilayer membrane.
Recall that, according to Ohm's law, resistance (units of ohms) equals voltage divided by current, while conductance (the reciprocal of resistance, designated in units of Siemens) equals current divided by voltage.

Best Monster Movies on Neflix: Nosferatu
Monster movies started with Universal, and the 1929 film Nosferatu is one of the most iconic (and creepiest) of the Universal Horror lot.
Nosferatu is a a take on Dracula, but the plot of the film is actually much less inspiring than Max Schreck's haunting performance as the vampire Count Orlock.
While Universal would later go on to include an official adaptation of Dracula in its string of monster movies, Nosferatu remains one of the most iconic depiction of vampires on film.
So if you're looking for the best monster movies on Netflix, why not start with one of the classics?

Hooded Merganser Featured on New Alaska Duck Stamp
The Alaska duck stamp design for this year is from an acrylic painting by Don Moore of Monona, Wisconsin. Moore has won the Wisconsin waterfowl stamp competition three times and this merganser design took third place in the federal duck stamp contest.
The Hooded Merganser is the smallest of the three species of mergansers in North America. The common merganser and the red-breasted merganser are more abundant in Alaska than the hooded. On the West Coast, the range of the hooded merganser extends up to southeast Alaska. Their wintering areas extend to southern California.
The male, shown on the 2005 stamp, is distinguished by the large flashy white crest on its head and narrow serrated black bill. The males will raise and lower the crest in display. Females are generally plain with muted dark gray and brownish plumage, but they also have a crest. Like some other sea duck species, these birds nest in tree cavities or man-made boxes near freshwater lakes. These birds are excellent divers, and swim underwater using their wings and their feet. They feed on fish, insects, small animals, crustaceans and plants.
The Alaska duck stamp is $5 and 36,000 regular stamps are printed.

Ron Howard and Peter Morgan are a pair to draw to — and "Rush" deserves to draw an audience.
Howard has helmed some outstanding movies during the past two decades, including "Frost/Nixon" and "Cinderella Man." And Morgan wrote "Frost/Nixon," along with "The Last King of Scotland" and "The Queen." In "Rush," the two have created a dual character study that combines drama, sports action and the kind of tension you'd normally associate with a thriller. It's delivered deftly by an expert cast, and will most likely receive more than one mention when awards season arrives.
What makes the movie even more effective is that it's based on a true story about the rivalry between two Formula One race drivers and the fact that the ensemble performing it does not involve household names. Although Chris Hemsworth has earned an appreciative audience as Thor and Olivia Wilde will be familiar to many moviegoers, it's not a "star vehicle" per se.
The setting is the 1976 championship competition between racers James Hunt (Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl, "Inglourious Basterds"). Hunt is an arrogant ladies' man who parties his way through life, while Lauda is an all-too-serious curmudgeon who has no time for social niceties.
Neither man is depicted as the "hero" for whom we automatically root. Instead, both are shown as determined racers. Both have flaws. And both are fascinating in the way they pursue their goals and continue to bait each other as the run for the championship continues. Each experiences a series of setbacks. If you're a racing fan familiar with what transpired in 1976 (and I admit that I had no idea about the outcome of this rivalry), then what happens here will come as no surprise. If you are becoming acquainted with this story for the first time, you'll be riveted.
The look of the movie and the era are flawless, and the actors who portray real-life characters not only take on their characteristics but also their physical appearance. The racing sequences — and there are many of them — look and sound true to life. At one point, while the racers were revving their engines, I could feel the liquid vibrate in the bottled water I had purchased at the concession stand.
This is one of the first "serious" movies of the fall, the release of which is purposely late in the year because the studio wants voters for a variety of film awards to remember its top-notch quality. It's a film for those who enjoy sports tales, those who enjoy history and audiences who enjoy character studies.

Matt Sumpter • Outfielder
The flag pole's javelin of shadow dwarfs us,
our hard-case chatter, our shy longing
for dip. Women stir in their spirit-wear
like cinders. We spit and chant, but no one talks
about the crow strung up in the batting cage.
I found him twisting, barrel-rolling, choking himself
with the acrylic net. I barely made the team,
so when the coach said Somebody put it down,
I grabbed a bat. The crow was far ahead of me.
His body sagged. His wingtips reached
for the shadows they were made from.
At dusk, the ball will disappear that way,
becoming movement, sound, as we cut
our names in dirt with metal cleats,
believing fields of onion grass are endless.
After the crow died, one wing shifted
with the wind, flickering through shades of black
like puddles catching moonlight in the parking lot.
I lifted the weightless bones. A teammate called,
It is what it is. Forget that shit.
Matt Sumpter's work has appeared or is forthcoming in Boulevard, West Branch Wired, Los Angeles Review, and elsewhere. He is an MFA candidate at Ohio State University and lives in Columbus.

Pitt quarterback Bill Stull is out indefinitely after requiring surgery today to repair torn ligaments in the thumb on his right (throwing) hand.
"We feel very disappointed for Billy," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. "He worked incredibly hard during the off-season to earn the starting job and those efforts showed in his strong play last night. Knowing Billy, he will be very diligent in his rehabilitation and be back as soon as possible."
The injury forced Stull to leave in the third quarter of Saturday's season-opening 27-3 victory over Eastern Michigan at Heinz Field. An Eagles defender tried to strip the ball from him, but pulled the thumb backward instead.
Redshirt freshman Kevan Smith replaced Stull, and completed 2 of 4 passes for 18 yards. Wannstedt, however, declined to name a starter for Saturday, when the Panthers (1-0) play Grambling State (1-0) at Heinz Field. Freshman Pat Bostick is Pitt's only other scholarship quarterback.
"We will work this week to get Kevan Smith and Pat Bostick ready to play against Grambling," Wannstedt said. "Their performances at practice this week will determine our starter for Saturday."
A 6-foot-2, 200-pound junior, Stull completed 14 of 20 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown in his debut as the Panthers' starter. Pitt was leading, 21-3, when he left the game with 5:50 to play in the third quarter.
Stull won the job despite suffering another thumb injury in training camp Aug. 10, when he hit the same thumb off a teammate's helmet and opened a crescent-shaped cut. The wound required five stitches, but Stull missed only one practice and returned wearing a glove for better grip. Stull wasn't wearing the glove against Eastern Michigan.

We've got a chop saw and a radial arm saw, and there *was* an angle grinder but I am pretty sure it went to Alabama with Scott (it being Scott's). Ā

A sanding table would be another awesome thing to build.

 Good on you for doing a shop class... but intentionally being loud as
 some sort of passive-aggressive / just-plain-aggressive move to force

Man who shot at cops sentenced to hospital
A Tucson man who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of aggravated assault was sentenced to 10½ years in the Arizona State Hospital on Wednesday.
Pima County Superior Court Judge Deborah Bernini sentenced Rodney Bruce Woodville on three counts of aggravated assault after his plea of guilty except insane.
Woodville was accused of shooting at Pima County sheriff's deputies in May 2012 when they responded to his home on the 5600 block of West Louisiana Street after neighbors reported hearing a loud argument. When deputies arrived, they realized Woodville was alone.
He fired a weapon at the deputies and hid inside the house. Woodville later set off a homemade explosive device before deputies arrested him.
At the sentencing, Woodville said his strange behavior was the result of an untreated snakebite and exposure to radon gas. He also said the radon exposure had caused previous residents of the house to become ill.
Woodville's attorney, Kevin Burke, noted his client was experiencing many "psychological difficulties" at the time of the incident.
Drug bust near Sells nets $2M-plus in pot
More than $2 million in marijuana was seized Tuesday west of Sells.
Agents on the ground and in the air discovered two vehicles, a silver Chevrolet extended-cab truck and a red Hummer H2, hidden under camouflage-patterned tarps and concealed in the dense brush.
A third vehicle, a dark-color Dodge truck, was found nearby, hidden under a camo-tarp and concealed with brush.
The three vehicles were loaded with a total of 4,311 pounds of marijuana that had an estimated street value of $2,155,500.
The vehicles were seized, and the drugs were transported to the Casa Grande Border Patrol station for processing.
"It was a good seizure," said Agent Brent Cagen, of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Need evidence? The following are some recent arguments I have had with my three children:
Me: Ask Santa. And its CLONE Wars.
Hawk: No. You're wrong. It's CLOWN Wars.
Me: No. It's clone. Like all the soldiers who look exactly the same are actually clones. Clone Wars.
Hawk: You don't know what you're talking about.
Me: Dude, there are no clowns in Star Wars. Why would they call it CLOWN wars if there were no clowns in it?
Hawk: I'm just not going to argue with you. I'm out. (leaves the room)
Argument #2: You May Not Borrow the Car until 2019
6 yr old daughter: Mommy, can I please drive to school?
Me: Of course! Hop in your booster and get buckled!
6 yr old: No. I would like to drive.
Me: Honey. Don't be silly. You can't drive a car. To begin with, you don't have a license.
6 yr old: (earnestly) Yes, I know. I understand. And I'm way too young. But I've been watching you very carefully and I'm pretty sure I know how to do it. You don't even have to tell me what to do because I already know.
[Editor's Note: I call this little beauty Thumbelina... It's like every time she talks, butterflies come flying out of her mouth, she's that damn cute. But it's evil cute because she has an ABSOLUTE agenda and bends everyone to her will. Even me, and 1) I'm evil and 2)I don't bend. So it's weird. Have to say, I admire Lydia's restraint. If it was me, cops all over our city would be saying "WTF?! Is that a child driving?" And I'd be in the back seat drinking a cappuccino. She's a blond-hair, blue-eyed Mini Me. Adorable as all get-out but planning on annihilating all of us. She's awesome... --Kate]
Me: Um, wow. I'm sorry but no.
Thumbelina: (starting to get visibly upset) You're. Not. Listening. To. Me. I can do it. I know how to drive. I just need you to let me try.
Me: Well for starters, it's against the law. I would got to jail.
Thumbelina: (sobbing) You are not listening! I can do it! Please let me drive to school! Please! (anger and frustration coursing through every fiber of her small body)
Me: (stunned) No. I.... no.
Thumbelina: (eyes swell to ten times their normal size and glisten with extra large tears, heart-brokenly murmurs) Why don't you believe in me?
Her pain is so palpable that I nearly hand her the keys to the BWT. But I don't. But I actually thought about it.
Argument #4: Obviously, Mommy is Wrong (Also about Star Wars)
Hawk: What?
Me: STORM. Trooper.
Hawk: Dat's. Not. Right.
Me: Storm, not strange. Trooper.
Hawk: Mommy, sigh... One person in this house knows everything about Star Wars, OK? And that's me and Daddy.
Me: Fine. Ask Daddy then.
Hawk: DADDY! DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!! DADDY!!!
Cap'n: What?!
Hawk: Who in our house knows everything 'bout Star Wars?
Cap'n: We do.
Hawk: Right. So Mommy says it's not Strange Troopers. She says it's some other thing.
Me: Stormtroopers.
Hawk: So who's right?
Cap'n: Obviously Mommy is wrong. She knows nothing about Star Wars.
Hawk: (oozes smugness. says nothing. glances in my direction once with pity in his eyes and leaves the room with his father.)
Argument #4: With the Baby. Who is Essentially Non-Verbal.
Me: (holding 13 month-old bundle of cuteness) Sweet, sweet girl. I WUUUVVV you.
Baby: Momma! (peals in a sweet, clear voice of adorable-ness. Then out of nowhere, slaps me hard across the face. Makes a sound like 'FWAP'. Also, she scratches me a little.)
Me: SONOFA!! That hurt! No, no! That is NOT OK!
Baby: (smiling, cooing) Aaahhhhhh... (FWAP! This time she drags her nails across my eye and cheek. Pretty sure I'm bleeding.)
Me: DAMN IT! Ow! Bad Baby! That really hurt!
Baby: Hee hee hee hee heee! (literally rolling around on my lap laughing uproariously. At me. At my expense.)
Cap'n: Why are you cursing at my baby? What happened to your face?
Me: (handing him the still laughing baby) She slapped me. Like a pimp. SLAPPED. And she needs her nails cut.
Cap'n: Aw... my sweet, sweet girl. Daddy wuvs you!
Baby: MMMMMMMmmm.... KISS! (plants huge kiss on her Daddy and laughs in my general direction as he carries her off).
Me: Oh yeah? Try biting his nipple at 4am. See what happens then, you little ingrate.
Baby: (throws fat, little arms around daddy's neck, stares into his eyes and calls him...) Momma.
So, basically. I can't win. I don't know why I bother to watch the Clown Wars. I'm clearly living the Clown Wars. At least those who will defeat me are cute.

The Singleton Beach area is redefining Hilton Head Island. The proud family name evokes images of unspoiled natural beauty and new luxury homes. Choose from 4 – 7 bedroom homes that can sleep between 8 and 16 friends and family. It is truly a breathtaking sanctuary located in the heart of the island at the 6-mile marker just north of Palmetto Dunes.
This unique development, buffered from the town's main thoroughfare by natural parklands, has been carefully designed to provide spectacular oceanfront views as well as the panoramic display of an open salt marsh fed by tidal streams. You'll be mesmerized by the constant ebb and flow of the tides and entertained by the abundant waterfowl that feed along this natural piece of beach. Chaplin Park also borders part of Singleton Beach and includes 4 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, 3 multi-purpose fields, a playground, a dog park, walking trails, beach access, restrooms, outdoor showers and free parking. An Island institution marks the entrance to Singleton Beach – Harold's Diner, where the motto "Eat here or we both starve" is not for the shy, as good natured ribbing comes with your breakfast or lunch. There is also Coco's on the Beach for a refreshing cocktail and an amazing view of the beach. Being on the right side of "the folly" allows for bike riding on the beach all the way down to Sea Pines if you have the energy.

Harry Styles: Another Night at Taylor Swift's Hotel
Getting a late start on the day, Harry Styles exited Taylor Swift'shotel in New York City this morning (December 5).
The "What Makes You Beautiful" singer wasn't in the mood for shutterbugs as he kept his head down and scurried out the door.
In related news, Eminem's daughter Hailie Mathers recently repented for her cruel Twitter comments regarding Taylor and Harry's budding romance.
She previously tweeted, "If @taylorswift13 is really dating the love of my life @Harry_Styles I will not be happy!" followed by, "Dear @taylorswift13, please stop wh*ring around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album… I am never, ever, everrrrr, listening to your music againnnn @taylorswift13. LIKE EVER."
However, once Team Taylor swarmed Hailie's feed, she recanted- "Wow. I didn't mean for people to react to my tweet in the way that they have it was just a bit of fun! Sorry @taylorswift13 for my immaturity."
"I believe I'm entitled to my own opinion, but that got out of control. I don't understand why there are 'news' articles written about it !"
Enjoy the pictures of Harry Styles leaving Taylor Swift's hotel in NYC (December 5).

Pitchfork's Ryan Schreiber on Running the Empire, Print, Music (Ugh) Writing...
PItchfork founder Ryan Schreiber spoke with Mediabistro about founding and running his empire.
On the day-to-day:
Besides the core, full-time staff at Pitchfork, there's also a whole extended family of contributors as well, and they also kind of suggest things. They'll pitch track reviews and things like that, or album reviews. So, for me and Mark Richardson, who's editor-in-chief, and our entire editorial team, pretty much 99 percent of our days are spent listening to and discussing music. So it really comes down to that. It's something that you live and breathe and it's what we're super passionate about, so it's just a matter of staying current and loving what you do.
Trying to be a "music writer:"
... be willing to put in the work for a long period of time for just the love of it. Today, more so than any other time, it seems really difficult to make a living in the media, especially in the music media. It's just so crowded, and at this point the publications that are really able to establish themselves are the ones that are the most passionate and the most relatable.
I think if you're going to be able to do a print publication that works in 2013, it has to really take advantage of that format, and the things that that format offers that are much more difficult to execute on the Web are having really expansive, beautiful layouts for your articles and features and making it feel like a desirable object. So, I think publications like Fader and Wax Poetics potentially could sustain, because they look great and the writing is really good.

Amanda Knox is "hopeful of being cleared" of murder, her lawyer told an Italian court yesterday.
Carlo Dalla Vedova added: "She just wants the nightmare to end."
Knox, 26, has refused to leave America to attend the hearing in Florence. But Mr Dalla Vedova said she was following the case closely.
And he insisted she had nothing to do with the death of student Meredith Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, seven years ago.
Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, 30, were initially convicted of murder and given 26 and 25 years respectively. But they walked free after four years when the verdicts were overturned.
The prosecution then appealed and demanded Knox's sentence be increased to 30 years. A verdict is expected on January 30.
