Taste Test: Nonfat Greek Yogurtby Dana Angelo White in Taste Test, June 22, 2010
When we did our vanilla yogurt taste test a few weeks back, everyone asked about Greek yogurt. We shopped for the brands our Facebook fans asked for — find out how they stacked up. Plus: Our favorite ways (sweet and savory) to use this creamy treat.
Greek-style yogurt is thick and creamy because it is strained to remove some of the water. It has a velvety texture and tangy flavor that makes it handy for both sweet and savory applications (more on ways to use it below). We scoped out nonfat, plain varieties and used our 5-point rating system (5 being the highest) to rate taste, consistency and nutrition.
For nutrition, we paid special attention to calories and protein. Greek yogurt is higher in protein per ounce than regular yogurt because there's less water. All brands were fat-free, contained probiotics and had very small amounts of sodium (100 milligrams or less).
Rating: 5
Cost: $1.69 (6-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 90 calories; 15 grams protein
Our Take: We can see why this was one of the favorites on our Facebook page. It was the creamiest with a mild and pleasant tang –- a perfect snack or light breakfast with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.
Rating: 4
Cost: $1.99 (5.3-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 80 calories; 15 grams
Our Take: You'll pay a little extra (for less yogurt) in this case, because it's organic. It was a little thinner and less pungent than some of the other guys, but still a solid choice overall.
Rating: 4.5
Cost: $1.25 (6-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 100 calories; 18 grams of protein
Our Take: A close second to Fage, this yogurt had great flavor and a slightly lighter texture. It was also highest in protein — 3 grams above the others.
Greek Gods
Rating: 3
Cost: $1.25 (6-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 60 calories; 6 grams protein
Our Take: Lowest in calories and protein, this yogurt didn't have the same creamy texture or tangy flavor that Greek yogurt is famous for. This brand also contains two thickeners, pectin and inulin. While these are considered very safe to eat, they are used to replace some of the milk. That's how they got the calories so low, but also why its protein content was a mere one-third of the others.
"Skyr" Icelandic Yogurt
While perusing the yogurt section we came across Skyr (pronounced "skeer") yogurt. Native to Iceland, the two flavors we tried were less tangy than Greek-style varieties, but they were more dense and creamy. They were also much more pricy! Here's the rundown.
Cost: $2.69 (6-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 100 calories; 17 grams protein
Cost: $2.79 (6-ounce container)
Nutrition Info: 110 calories; 22 grams protein
Ways to Enjoy Plain Yogurt
Use plain Greek yogurt to thicken smoothies and salad dressings or as lower fat alternative to sour cream. We love it in this mini parfait of fresh cherries, slivered almonds and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar (pictured below).

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Please also refer to the Code of Good Practice for Taught Masters Programmes: Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Lectures are an integral part of your programme and you are strongly advised to attend, although attendance is not monitored. Every lecture course at the LSE is open to all students, so if you would like to attend additional lectures of interest, and your timetable permits, do take advantage of this opportunity.
Please note that it is up to the teacher responsible for each course to decide on practice in relation to the availability of lecture materials/notes.
Attendance at graduate seminars is recorded. You are expected to participate and it is highly recommended that you do so.
If you are having difficulty with lectures or seminars, the first person to approach is the course teacher concerned. Request an appointment and explain the problem to them. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, or if you still have concerns, consult your Academic Adviser or Programme Director without delay.
At the start of your degree programme, you will be assigned an academic adviser. This is usually a member of the Department teaching staff. Your academic adviser is expected to guide and assist you in your learning development and is also available to help with any personal difficulties.
The academic adviser's responsibilities include:
The onus is on you to make arrangements to see your adviser and you should aim to do so at least twice each term, or more frequently if you are having particular difficulties. As office hours are intended to be used for general student enquiries, you can also see your adviser outside these times by making an appointment. The adviser may arrange this directly or alternatively post an appointments sheet outside their office so that you can book a convenient slot.
Students should regard their academic advisers as their first port of call in relation to both academic and welfare matters. Any issues that cannot be resolved with your adviser can be taken to a member of your programme team, your Programme Director or, ultimately, the Dean of Graduate Studies.
A Programme Director is appointed for each taught masters programme. The responsibilities of the Programme Director include:
If you are asking an academic to write a reference for you, you should be aware of the following guidelines:

The case of the Missing Letters
It appears we have a mystery on our hands!
Last week my friend Shinead and I came across all these beautiful piles of plaster letters laid out on the boardwalk on Granville Island. We waited around for awhile hoping someone would come along and explain what they were for. Shinead noticed a whole pile of O's and we thought it would be fun to quickly shoot an image for the header of the site. Eventually a girl came along and asked if we had removed the letters from the hill around the corner. We hadn't. She informed us that they were part of an art project by a student at Emily Carr University but didn't know much else about them. We waited for a little bit longer and then left.
Yesterday I received an email from Shannon McCubbin expressing her surprise to see her letters being used as our new header graphic! She attached the following image of her installation on the hill:
Sadly, Shannon informed me that the letters have all gone missing! They were quite expensive to produce and she is trying to track them down. I'm sure someone grabbed them thinking they were free. I was tempted to take a letter when I came across the piles too, but then I remembered I'm not a THIEF (haha sorry). But seriously, if you are the person who took the letters I'm sure Shannon won't be mad, she just wants them back!
Email Shannon any info, an apology, or a word of encouragement here.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Retailers banking on back-to-school sales to jump-start revenue heading into the fall may be in for an unpleasant surprised. According to an annual survey by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics, back-to-school sales this year are expected to fall compared to last year. After strong spending in 2012, families with school-age children are expected to spend an average of $634.78 on apparel, shoes, supplies and electronics, 8% less than they spent in 2012, the survey forecasts. Total spending on back-to-school is expected to reach $26.7 billion. Total back-to-school and back-to-college spending combined will reach $72.5 billion, the survey says. "The good news is that consumers are spending, but they are doing so with cost and practicality in mind. Having splurged on their growing children's needs last year, parents will ask their kids to reuse what they can for the upcoming school season," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement. "As they continue to grapple with the impact of increased payroll taxes, Americans will look to cut corners where they can, but will buy what their kids need. It's important to note, however, that spending levels are still well above where they were a few years ago." On a positive note, consumers are already out shopping for school items. The survey found that 24% of respondents said they will begin shopping at least two months before school begins - the highest percentage seen in the survey's 11-year history. "We continue to see a shift in shopping patterns during big spending 'events', where consumers typically head out early to take advantage of fresh inventory options and initial markdowns, then see a lull only to rev back up again when final sales appear," said Prosper Consumer Insights Director Pam Goodfellow. "Hoping to spread out their budgets, but still reap the benefits of getting the products their children want, parents this back-to-school season will comparison shop online and around town at their child's favorite stores, potentially even more than once, as they seek to find bargains and products that offer the best value."

Between the fusillades of scathing ad hominem attacks by the state's gubernatorial candidates, one agreement has been made: the New Mexico Rail Runner needs to be re-examined.
At least in car country, the train is easily seen as a charity case: Its annual operating expenses are more than $24 million, and it earns only approximately $3 million from fares.
Both Diane Denish and Susana Martinez have promised to take a serious look at the Rail Runner's operations. In an emailed statement to SFR, Denish says:
"I would immediately undertake a review of how the RailRunner is being used to make sure its schedule and rate structure are optimized for maximum ridership, and I would allow for the sale of advertising space on RailRunner trains as an additional source of revenue. Additionally, I would push to make sure that the RailRunner was being better used and marketed for special events and tourist activities."
Martinez' campaign did not respond to calls. But in a Sept. 24 article in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Martinez echoes Denish's promises: "We need to explore how the train can become more of a self-sustaining operation and less reliant on taxpayer dollars."
Martinez doesn't elaborate on how that self-reliance would occur.
"They're doing what they have to do to get elected, but reality will set in on Nov. 3," State Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela, D-Santa Fe, says. Varela chairs the Legislative Finance Committee, which helps manage the Rail Runner's finances. Varela says he's not sure what would have to happen to increase fare revenues, but "I'm open to any ideas."
Aside from initiatives to increase ridership and improve advertising dollars (which rarely account for a substantial portion of revenues), two possibilities remain: Raising fares and cutting service.
But public transportation advocates see several fallacies in criticisms of the Rail Runner. For one, trains are generally not expected to fully support themselves.
And, in the Rail Runner's case, it's a new endeavor embedded in a small, highly car-centric market, where use of public transportation isn't standard and where there simply aren't as many riders. In that context, its small 12.5 percent ratio of fares to expenses ($3 million in fares to $24 million in expenses) might not be best compared to more self-sufficient transportation centers in dense metropolitan areas such as New York and Philadelphia, which pull in half their own weight.
"If you're a new line, which the Rail Runner is, you're still building ridership," Virginia Miller, a spokeswoman for the American Public Transportation Association, says. "So, in a way, what I want to suggest is it's a little unfair to compare them against a really long-established commuter rail system that's been around for quite a while."
Since the train began in 2007, ridership has more than doubled, from nearly 500,000 rides in 2007 to 1.2 million in 2010, and is up 32,000 from last year.
Compared to systems such as the Utah Transit Authority's commuter rail, which has a 14.8 percent ratio, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit's system, 8.1, the Rail Runner is on roughly equal footing.
But criticisms of the Rail Runner may also stem from lack of information.
"I think there are some major misunderstandings of how the operation of the Rail Runner is funded," Chris Blewett, director of transportation and planning for the Mid-Region Council of Governments, which helps oversee the Rail Runner, says. "I hear crazy stuff all the time, like it's costing the state $40 million a year, and it's simply not true."
Furthermore, criticisms of the train fail to consider the amount of money spent on highways, Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter Chairman John Buscher says.
"Frequently, it's not taken into account how large the subsidies are it takes to support those and what it costs to make new ones," he says. "And having the Rail Runner in place will save a lot of money in improving the corridor of I-25 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque."
Since its inception, the Rail Runner's fare costs have stayed steady, and only a few services have been eliminated. Blewett says there are no current plans to reduce service any further or to raise fares.
As for Denish's plan to introduce advertising, that initiative began this fiscal year. Out of the $24 million in expenses, advertising is only expected to bring in $200,000.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - Saint Leo sophomore Aloua Adjenak has been tabbed Sunshine State Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, it was announced Monday by SSC officials.
Adjenak, a native of Paris, France, went 2-0 at both No.1 singles and doubles as the No. 19 Lions split a pair of matches last week. Despite his team's 5-4 loss to No. 9 Columbus State, Adjenak, who is ranked No. 43 in Division II singles, posted a 6-2, 6-4 upset over No. 25 Olivier Simonet. He also teamed with Victor Lozier to take down Columbus State's No. 6-ranked duo of Simonet and Martin Shishkov 8-2.
In a 9-0 sweep versus Indianapolis, Adjenak cruised past Trevor Cox 6-1, 6-3 and joined Lozier for an 8-2 doubles win against Matt Smith and Alex Poe.
In total, 29 student-athletes have been selected conference players of the week, including four tennis honors.

LOS ANGELES - A Southern California Association of Governments official said Wednesday the twin-bore tunnel is the only viable option to complete the 710 Freeway from I-10 to I-210.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is currently in the first phase of a three-year EIR for the 710 N. Gap Closure project, and has said it is equally studying five final options: "no build," traffic management solutions, bus, light rail and the tunnel.
But SCAG Executive Director Hasan Ikhrata said at a 710 "Technical Advisory Committee" meeting Wednesday that Metro will be hard-pressed to find another option that will meet the air-quality standards of SCAG's 2012 Regional Transportation Plan.
The SCAG RTP, approved earlier this year, includes the 710 extension as a tunnel connecting I-10 and I-210.
"I will say that if Metro or Caltrans or together they decide on a different alternative with the same benefits, we'll talk, the plan can be updated, but I'm not expecting that to happen," Ikhrata said. "We did not arrive at this decision in the RTP just simply because we wanted to put the tunnel, we arrived after many, many studies and years of studies and years of debates. We've had enough debate about this project, I think the region needs to move forward."
Ann Wilson, senior management analyst for La Canada Flintridge, said she was concerned that none of Metro's other four options would bring the same congestion reduction as the freeway tunnel, meaning the tunnel option was essentially already chosen.
"I just want to step away from the freeway for a moment. Can we achieve substantial environmental benefits without the freeway?" Wilson said. "If not, then we might as well all go home."
Metro's Yoga Chandra said the study team was considering combinations of the bus, traffic management and light rail options that could compete with the freeway, but won't know for sure until the analysis is completed.
"We don't know that yet, eight months from now we might be able to answer that question," Chandra said.
At the meeting, which was attended by the group of city officials asked to provide guidance throughout the study, Metro officials also discussed the ever-present issue of goods movement and how it plays into the freeway extension.
Consultant Steve Greene said a 710 tunnel would likely see local truck traffic, but would not become a popular route for trucks out of the ports.
"We are not saying trucks will never use this tunnel, but the point we're making is that that facility is not on the path that port trucks in particular are taking," Greene said.
Metro officials said they plan to release the report from the initial "Alternatives Analysis" phase of the EIR in December, and will have their next round of public meetings after the new year. The final EIR is set to be released in 2014.

But you were having so much fun trying to guess all the marathons he's ran....
Thanks for the warning. Yaaa youbetcha.
No a fun moment in running would be crossing mile number 100 a few weeks ago with Trent and JK.
I'd call this making conversation.
12 Monkeys
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
The problem with JK is that he's a dog owner.
The Greatest of All Time
Marcus, don't worry. I've been in the south for six years now. I DO NOT sound like somebody from Fargo.
So what you're saying is....you have more fun running with Trent and JK than running with me? I see how it is.
Dude I didn't even make fun of you when you had bloody nipple spots on your shirt.
I am not going to assume anything about anyone until I meet them in person.
So far Trent and Thunder have been as advertised though.
But beware....if some of the people on this board that talk a lot of shit turn out to be pussies....I am calling them out.
MTA: Except that I wouldn't. I am too damn nice.
That is not what I said at all. It goes without saying .
Fine. You are not allowed to run with me anymore.
Who told you I was a kitten in person?
I won't reveal my sources. But it was after the slug fest in the old swamp when the running skirt thread thing happened.
I think I said something like "Candice is a real figher. Is she full of piss and vinegar in person?'
Sadly I was told no. You're not. And I sighed. And I was sad.
Because they've never seen me mad in person.
You make it sound like you're the one who made that decision.
Are you a thrower?

We're teaming up with food and garden bloggers to host Spring Fling 2011, a season-long garden party. In coming weeks, we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Recently, we dove into the world of asparagus and rhubarb — today, we're exploring artichokes.
An edible thistle, artichokes are one of those veggies that is easiest used from a jar or frozen. But if you're going to pick one time of year to actually carve into an artichoke, spring is the time to do it, when fresh artichokes are at their peak. Don't be intimidated by all those leaves and the inedible "choke" hiding inside – just follow the lead of Food Network chefs.
Start with this easy recipe for Steamed Artichokes (in the microwave) from Food Network Magazine, along with their step-by-step guide to cutting up baby artichokes.
For a quick demo and a little fancier fare, where the artichokes shine, follow Anne Burrell. "Artichokes are a labor of love, but they're so worth it," says Anne. See how she preps and cooks both large and baby artichokes. She makes an Italian classic, Stuffed Artichokes, with a recipe she picked up while living in Italy. Then, with the babies, she whips up an artichoke salad of thinly sliced, raw artichokes mixed with arugula, Parmesan and lemon.
For more basic artichoke buying, prepping and cooking info for all those recipes that call for "trimmed and cleaned" artichokes, read more about artichokes here.
And once you're on a roll, try your hand at some of our top artichoke recipes:
- Alton's Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
- Giada's Artichoke Gratinata
- Giada's Genovese Style Artichokes
- Fusilli With Sausage, Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

A 41-YEAR-OLD was taken to hospital after her car went into a ditch on Wednesday night.
Emergency services were called to Fiddler's Ferry Road, around 50 metres from The Eight Towers roundabout after the woman's Red Lexus ended up hitting a lamppost and landing in a ditch.
No other vehicle was involved in the crash around 8.30pm.
She was taken to Warrington Hospital as a precaution but police say her injuries were not serious.
The road was closed both ways with traffic backed up in Warrington and Widnes.
Road closures were lifted at 10pm.

thyroid gland uses iodine from food to make two
thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It also stores
these thyroid hormones and releases them as they are needed. The
hypothalamus and the
pituitary gland, which are located in the brain, help
control the thyroid gland. The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing
hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). When the hypothalamus and pituitary are
working normally, they sense when:

BURNLEY have been boosted by winger Ross Wallace's return to full fitness after he came through 90 minutes in the Lancashire FA Senior Cup in midweek.
Wallace played the full game in the Clarets' win over Oldham, his first 90 minutes since undergoing knee surgery in August, and could now be considered for Saturday's Championship trip to QPR.
Keith Treacy and Danny Lafferty have also recovered from knocks that kept them out of Tuesday's goalless draw with Brighton.
"Danny had a tight thigh, Keith had a stiff neck but that's settled down so they're back in the pack," said Clarets boss Sean Dyche.
"Ross had his 90, which is good for him mentally to get through that.
"That's another one coming back into the group."

HUNDREDS of coal haulage workers have ended a 48-hour strike at Australia's largest private rail freight company Pacific National.
Rail, Tram and Bus Union members walked off the job at noon on Friday at the company's coal divisions in the New South Wales Hunter and Illawarra regions.
The union had been negotiating with Pacific National for more than a year, and eight months have passed since the old enterprise bargaining agreement expired. The industrial action by 800 staff, including train drivers and terminal operators, ended at noon on Sunday.
Pacific National, a subsidiary of transport infrastructure company Asciano, wants the dispute taken to Fair Work Australia but the union opposes this.
Pacific National coal director David Irwin said the strike had harmed the coal industry. ''Our offer of consent arbitration remains on the table and we cannot understand why, in an environment where we are already seeing extensive job losses and mine closures amongst our customers, the [union] is steadfastly refusing to accept what is a sure way to bring a quick end to this dispute,'' Mr Irwin said in a statement.
The union's national secretary, Bob Nanva, accused the company of forcing it to take industrial action, leading to a rally outside Pacific National's Newcastle site.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (12A)
Running time: 142 minutes
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Sally Field, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, Chris Cooper, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen
Director: Marc Webb
Released: April 16 (UK & Ireland)
TWO is company but three super-villains are a crowd in Marc Webb's action-packed sequel to his 2012 blockbuster, which successfully rebooted the Marvel Comics franchise.
A Russian mobster in rhinoceros-shaped armour, a maligned Oscorp employee who can shoot electricity from his fingertips and an iconic green-skinned imp with daddy issues all vie for our attention during a rough 'n' tumble 142 minutes.
The film's special effects wizards oblige with dazzling sequences of Spider-Man swinging at breathless speed through the skyscrapers of New York.
Such is the dizzying velocity of these set pieces, director Webb repeatedly employs slow-motion to make sense of the blurs of blue and red spandex.
For all the sequel's technical prowess, which is considerable, it's the screen chemistry of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who met on the first picture and have been dating ever since, which provides more bang than the digitally-rendered pyrotechnics.
When the two actors stare into each other's eyes, we can feel the electricity crackle between them.
"You're Spider-Man, and I love that, but I love Peter Parker more," she professes.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens with a protracted flashback to the night Richard Parker (Campbell Scott) and his wife Mary (Embeth Davidtz) leave their young son in the care of Aunt May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen).
The reason for this sudden disappearance continues to haunt Peter (Garfield).
So too does the ghost of Captain Stacy (Denis Leary), whose daughter Gwen (Stone) is Peter's on-off-on-off girlfriend.
While Peter hones his powers, childhood friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) returns to the Big Apple to assume control of Oscorp in the wake of the death of his bullying father, Norman (Chris Cooper).
Harry's ascension coincides with an industrial accident that transforms nerdy employee and Spider-Man fanatic, Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx), into an electrically-charged monster.
Thus Peter must potentially give up his life to protect Gwen and Aunt May from harm.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 fleshes out the back story of the Parkers and their involvement in secret experiments.
Peter and Gwen's turbulent romance is the cornerstone and the film soars - rather like the titular hero - whenever they are together.
Foxx's portrayal of the pathetic bad guy with unimaginable power coursing through his veins is more miss than hit. The script doesn't spend enough time with his corporate nerd before the metamorphosis into Electro. Consequently, gear changes between action, romance and comedy are not as smooth as they could be.
Thankfully, DeHaan is terrifically tormented as the heir to the Oscorp empire, who clings forlornly to the hope of a transfusion of Spider-Man's blood to cure his genetic woes.
The sins of two fathers weigh heavily on their sons, laying the foundations for a battle royale between the wily web-slinger and an iconic adversary in a third instalment, earmarked for release in summer 2016.

Midcoast Habitat for Humanity and Evergreen Home Performance are 2 weeks into a collaboration that will raise awareness and funds to support energy efficiency and affordable housing. Throughout August, Evergreen will donate $1 to MHFH for every new "like" it receives on Facebook. New Facebook fans have already helped Evergreen contribute $20 to Midcoast Habitat.
"We've always admired and supported Midcoast Habitat for Humanity," said Richard Burbank, Evergreen's President. The Rockland-based energy efficiency audits & contracting company has helped hundreds of Maine homeowners reduce their energy costs and become more comfortable in their homes. Evergreen has also provided expertise, analysis, and plenty of hard work during the construction of Habitat houses in Camden and in Thomaston.
"We're dedicated to serving families by helping them fulfill their dream of homeownership," said MHFH Executive Director Tia Anderson, "and building energy efficient houses that keep monthly expenses to a minimum is an ideal way to fulfill our mission."
Midcoast Habitat for Humanity offers a hand up – not a handout – to local families in need by building sound homes that are affordable to heat and comfortable to live in. Selected partner families invest 500 hours of sweat equity into their homes, which are constructed with donated materials and volunteer labor. MHFH focuses on energy efficiency both in its new construction projects and by weatherizing existing homes. The weatherization project reached 10 Knox County, Maine homes last winter.
"Going 'green' was a logical step in our efforts toward sustainability," said Anderson, "and we're so pleased to have Evergreen as a partner and resource."
Like Evergreen and contribute to MHFH. While you're at it, like MidcoastHabitat, too!

Successful attorneys build and cultivate their professional
networks, in order to acquire mentors, generate referrals and access other resources
for their professional development. However, it's not easy to
strike up professional relationships with persons you have never
met, and know little to nothing about. Bar associations, like the
Massachusetts Bar Association,
remain an excellent place to meet other attorneys and
related professionals; but, how many times have you hovered around
the outskirts of conversations, not knowing what to say to get in.
Neither does anyone like cold calling, traditionally the
marginalized work of telemarketers who seem only to want to
interrupt your dinner.
Wouldn't it be easier if you had a better idea about the people
you wanted to talk to, if you knew a little bit about what their
interests might be? Wouldn't it be great if you could identify
mutual friends? Before internet accessibility, gathering this type
of information was a daunting prospect; but now, with just a few
clicks, you can find what you need to get in . . . LinkedIn, that is.
When you're logged into LinkedIn and access someone's profile, you
can find out which connections you share (either at the
'Connections' box, or in the sidebar). If you're going to be
calling someone you'd like to build a professional relationship
with, how much more powerful is it to run down a list of mutual
connections? (Of course, I didn't think of this all by myself. I
received a call based on these signals from a financial advisor out
of Southborough, Vince Domestico. Seems Vince went to elementary
school with a good friend of mine.) If you've got existing
connections with whom you'd like to create a stronger, or offline,
relationship, you'll have much more material to work with. Review
your target's recent status updates, so you'll have some idea of
where their current interests lie; parlay that knowledge into a
conversation that you know will be relevant to your contact. You
may be able to access your first order contact's full connections
list, such that you can potentially spin off other professional
relationships, from there. If there is someone they know that you'd
like to get to know, ask for an introduction. If you want to
connect with someone you don't know on LinkedIn, the connection
invitation screen will list information you both share, including
that related to schooling, work, group memberships, etc. Use that
information craft an invitation to connect. Once you've connected
online, solidify that connection, by making a phone call, or
arranging to meet.
And, it's not just LinkedIn, where you can leverage your online
business connections for real-life results. Facebook
profiles will show you mutual friends you share with certain users,
as well as those users' full friends lists. You'll see status
updates, too, if they haven't been blocked. Google+
profiles will show you the users you and your connection have circled in common. You'll also be able to see
whom the user has circled, and who has circled the user. While Twitter does not
list mutual connections, you will be able to glean useful
information from profiles, including that respecting followers and
followees, lists and favorite tweets.
For more tips on getting the most out of social media, check out
the American Bar Association's, '. . . in One Hour'
book series, which features titles covering LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

Gia Coppola's debut feature, "Palo Alto," is a well-made but ultimately slight depiction of high school life in Palo Alto, Calif. Based on the book of short stories by actor James Franco (who also has a small role), "Palo Alto" mainly centers on three restless, angst-ridden teenagers as they navigate their way through various social situations in high school life.
There's April (Emma Roberts), the timid, good girl who's somewhat attracted to her benevolent and hip soccer coach Mr. B (Franco). Then, there are the two self-destructive males, who have all sorts of angst and restlessness: Teddy (Jack Kilmer), who seems to be upset that he's not getting anywhere with April and, as a result, gets into trouble with the law; and Teddy's friend, Fred (Nat Wolff), who appears to have a bone to pick with life in general, so he alienates himself from his friends.
In fact, that's a good way to describe all three of these characters' actions in the movie: They all intentionally alienate themselves from regular high school social life. They may interact with other normal high school students (like two attractive, gossiping gals) and attend parties, but they never really seem to fit in at any of these social gatherings, remaining right on the fringe.
There are a lot of shots of them by themselves, silently staring off into the distance, contemplating their existence.
The film also doesn't have much direction because these teenagers don't have much direction themselves. They don't appear to have any long-term goals or aspirations. Their parents aren't much help: They're either absent or they don't really care, oftentimes just sitting around smoking weed, while their kids do the same.
Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola niece of director/actor Sofia Coppola, already has a fairly acute eye and ear for teenage life. All of the situations feel down-to-earth and the dialogue exchanges come off authentic, like in the opening scene when Teddy and Fred just sit in their car drinking. For the most part, nothing feels overdone or artificial.
The acting is also on par, all of the players looking and sounding like real teenagers.
Other than that, "Palo Alto" is a competent film, but it's not very deep, and it comes off rather insignificant. This isn't exactly new ground that Coppola is covering, and she doesn't do enough with the material to take it to the next level. After a while, it is sort of difficult to remain fully invested in them because they are, in the end, just spoiled Palo Alto teenagers in need of an extracurricular activity.
Nevertheless, "Palo Alto" is a fine first feature and continues to show that the Coppola family has immense filmmaking talent.

GLANDORF — On May 31, eight canoes carrying 11 Glandorf Boy Scouts
and five adults left the Road 11 Bridge to paddle a 114-mile trip.
Scouts, whose intent it was to earn their canoeing badge, set off on a
seven-day journey through the waters leading to Lake Erie.
Glandorf Scouts have executed the excursion every four years since 2006.
Don Inkrott had planned the initial trip; it has been tweaked very
little since then. Along the route, the Scouts were able to stay with
people who have Putnam County connections.
"We put tents in
people's backyards," explained Scout Corey Coleson. "We had a scout
trailer (that contained necessary supplies) that someone would move to
our next destination."
Each day, their goal was to travel between
15-19 miles. The majority of the first day, which began at 9:00 am, was
spent paddling the Blanchard River. The group encountered a fairly large
logjam at Hillbrook Recreation, but they were able to portage 20 yards
around it. They made camp at the Paula and Peter Urton's, near Dupont,
and got to swim in the pond. Most importantly, the young men were
transported back to Glandorf for 4:30 mass.
Day Two, the Blanchard
River emptied into the Auglaize River. The canoeists made camp at Chris
and Jen Recker's, in Charloe. On the third day, the Scouts paddled to
the Auglaize Hydroelectric Plant, where Power Production Superintendent
Matt Killian gave them a tour. They then navigated through Defiance, and
saw where the Auglaize River met the Maumee River.
"This was
neat, as there actually appeared to be a line in the water where the
rivers meet," chaperone Scott Coleson recalled. He believed that was due
to the depth or difference in water clarity of each river.
Scouts disembarked that day near the Independence Dam. They spent the
night at Camp Libbey, where they made camp just above Independence Dam.
was during the fourth day that the weather began to challenge the
group. Two canoes capsized due to high winds, just after passing through
Napoleon. They made it safely to the Schnipke Cottage, near Mary Jane
Thurston State Park. Father Tony Fortman and Deacon Don Inkrott joined
the travelers, and had mass. Wednesday, Mother Nature wreaked havoc on
the Scouts. The rain, which began around 10:00 am, continued for the
remainder of the day; the air temperature was a chilly 52 degrees. That
day was their longest, at 19 miles.
"We hadn't looked at the
weather to know it was going to rain," Scout Jacob Karhoff joked. "We
knew there was going to be water involved."
The water was shallow;
the canoeists had to navigate around many rocks at Grand Rapids, and
often had to push and pull their crafts through the water.
"It was
slippery," Scout Brad Gerdeman recounted. "We were walking a lot in the
water and wind, and bumped into rocks with the canoes. My legs got all
cut up."
Corey Coleson added, "The only warm place that day was the water. I looked like Papa Smurf."
portaged around the dam at Grand Rapids. Later, they had a tour at
Isaac Ludwig's mill. After further traveling, exhausted and starving,
the group made camp at Terry Cook's, in Waterville. The weather
cooperated the following day, as the Scouts paddled to Fort Meigs.
There, they toured the fort by a gentleman dressed like a soldier from
the War of 1812.
"That was my favorite thing," declared Scout Riley Karhoff. "All that historical stuff and what happened there- I liked that."
That evening, the Scouts made camp in Chris Recker's backyard, at Rossford.
final day began with a special treat. As it was National Doughnut Day,
one of the dads brought sweet confections to the boys. The Scouts needed
all the energy they could get, as they paddled through Toledo, past the
Hollywood Casino, under the I-75 Bridge, and by the grain elevators,
where they encountered many large freighters.
"I think everyone felt pretty small in their canoes, paddling by the big boats," Scott Coleson remarked.
group disembarked at Promenade Park, and got a personalized tour of
Fifth Third Field from Ottawa-Glandorf graduate Cory Myers, and is the
assistant to the Mud Hens' head groundskeeper. They also visited the
National Great Lakes Museum.
The Scouts met with choppy waters on
the last leg of their journey, as they neared Lake Erie. They arrived at
their final destination, The Bay View Yacht Club, at 7 p.m., nearly
seven and a half days after they began. The group was then transported
to the Maumee State Park, where they camped for the weekend.
The young men said they did not do anything special to prepare themselves for the physical challenges they endured.
"I was a little sore the first couple nights, but after that, not really," Jacob Karhoff divulged.

Ross Thomas Creative
CLIENTELE: Disney, Capcom, Jack Daniels, Gatorade, Dulux, Selfridges, & very.co.uk. WHY DO I DO THIS? I grew up in 2 places at the same time. Half my childhood was spent in the beautiful countryside of Shropshire & the rest in the metropolis of Birmingham. My parents launched, managed, and sold businesses throughout my life, and I was always helping out and seeing how things were done. Whether I was packing stock, moving furniture, speaking to suppliers, managing staff, or helping with advertising ideas. Much of my sense of business I learned from them. They helped me realise that achieving goals is based on hard work & determination. It will eventually pay off & you can always learn from the journey. My mother and father always seemed to remember everyones names and took the time to learn about the people that they came into contact with. They taught me that great relationships made success possible for their partners, their clients & themselves. Artistically gifted in their own right, my parents encouraged me to develop my creative talents. But, they always stressed the importance of maintaining an equitable balance between criticism and praise. I learned from them the steady and honest pathway to improving oneself. As I grew up I was determined to make a living from a creative business and worked hard to develop the artistic talent I'd inherited and make relationships with people in need of my services. I studied illustration & graphic design at college, and went to university and developed skills in prose, poetry & scriptwriting. I also taught myself to play several instruments, write, perform & compose. I have won awards for art & music. After university I gained experience as a concept artist, a sales executive, trainer & account manager. I then went into business for myself and started a vintage clothes business whilst running an Illustration & Design service. Having a background working first-hand in business and across several creative fields has afforded me a qualified understanding of design, illustration, film, web, music & marketing. I launched rossthomascreative to use everything I've been lucky enough to learn on my journey. I hope I can be part of yours.

Every tutor is carefully selected for each student by matching the needs of the student to the tutor's capabilities. All of our tutors are educated to a degree level or higher. Most of them are either teachers, teaching assistants or education professionals.

ACE Recall Study Performance Coaching
I help students and business professionals accelerate their learning and improve their memory recall. Students pass exams with better than predicted grades. Professionals become most effective in all they do. Through expert one to one coaching in a range of rapid learning techniques long established in cognitive psychology, students, for example, rapidly discover how to retain more knowledge, recall what they learn more accurately when revising and under pressure during exams. They say it is like 'going into exams with your course notes in front of you' (actually, what's needed to answer questions is rapidly accessible in their heads). Sessions are typically pre booked as a block of 10, 15 or 20 sessions depending on just how ambitious you are. The earlier you start the sooner you will enjoy fabulous learning and enhanced memory recall: for school, for university, in your chosen career and - for life!

Zstream - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkWTB Nokia 1520 review :) Reply
craighamilton - Saturday, December 06, 2014 - linkHuawei remains far behind its competitors in terms of innovations and consumer satisfaction ( see http://www.topreport.org/phones/ for example) hence, not my first choice for a phone. Reply
aryonoco - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkSo AnandTech is covering everyone at IFA from Huawei to Lenovo to Microsoft, but not a word about Sony?
Sony has released the Z3, the Z3 Compact, a nice tablet, and its first Android Wear watch. The Z3 is by all accounts a nice flagship and is even going to be available in US. Yet, I haven't even seen these devices mentioned here once.
The lack of Sony coverage on AT is really puzzling. Reply
Andrei Frumusanu - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkI covered Sony too but today was so hectic with the Huawei event that I didn't have time to finish the Sony devices posts. Given that had no proper chance at a good hands-on yesterday at launch and missed the hot news time-window, I prioritized the Mate 7 today. I'll be posting the Sony stuff in a bit. Reply
aryonoco - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkThank you, I'm sorry if I came across as too critical, I was just puzzled over lack of Sony coverage.
I don't care when stuff is written here, we AT readers have learned to be a patient lot, as long as we get to see your thoughts about the devices eventually. Reply
cj100570 - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkYou're not actually sorry. You're just realizing that you just had your legs kicked out from under with the reply to your hastily penned comment. Because God forbid if you had of just waited for their full coverage to conclude before bitching and moaning about what wasn't covered.... Reply
smorebuds - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkAnd you're just projecting your own insecurities with your comment... He/she apologized, so no doubt there's regret, but it was hardly bitching and moaning. Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkIt can be read both ways. I read it as passive aggressive as well. Very roundabout and obvious way of accusing an anti-Sony bias. You shouldn't talk about others' insecurities when your own comment screams of such. Reply
jjj - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkNot so sure about their "83% bezel-to-device-footprint" unless the screen is bigger than 6 inch.
The screen should be (rounding a bit) 132.83mm x 74.71mm if it's 6 inch. Anyway, area would be some 9924mm2.
The device is 157 x 81 so 12717mm2 area. The corners are a bit rounded but that doesn't seem nearly enough to get to the 11956.6 needed for the screen to be 83%. Reply
Aenean144 - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkI second your doubt. Ratio of display to device footprint = (133*75)/(157*81) = 78%
If they assume the corner radius is 15 mm, they can get to 83%. 15 mm radius equate to about a USA 50 cent coin? Maybe a little bigger. However, nobody takes this sort of thing into account. Haven't seen anyone even try it. Everyone just uses the reported height and width.
It would be nice if reviewers measure actual dimensions too. Reply
jjj - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkI got my own metric for bulk , volume per screen area , to factor in thickness too but hard to figure out volume if you don't have the device when the back is not flat.. Ofc you can easily do even better by factoring in a few more things like perf, DPI and battery life. Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkThey will lie about or flub the dimensions for sure. But the phone screen ratio still looks very good regardless, with nice bezels. Reply
masimilianzo - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkGreat post! Recent Huawei devices are super interesting. @Andrei, you should also check out the Huawei Honor/MediaPad X1, it is the lightest and thinnest 7 inches tablet and yet has the biggest battery (and it also is a phone). Entirely made out of aluminum, tiny bezels, the only let down is the SoC and the fact that runs 4.2.2 at the moment (but on xda there's a leaked KitKat rom for the Chinese variants, the Honor X1). I would love a review of this device. It is truly great seeing AT reviewing chinese esclusive phones, as they are very interesting like the Honor 6 and the Nubia X6 and Z7. Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkThe thing that has always held me back was the spotty SoC and UI. If AT considers the UI their favorite, and the newish SoC seems okay speed, this is on my top list. I've been meaning to get a Ascend P6/P7 for my parents as they have great hardware and design, but the software and speed from the SoC was always very laggy in videos. The camera and video capture weren't that great either. Let's see what Huawei can do with the IMX214. Reply
Shynd - Thursday, September 04, 2014 - linkThe phrasing in this article is a little awkward. Not the same standard of writing I've been spoiled with in recent months. Was a little distracting while reading, though still entirely comprehensible. Not trying to flame or be rude, just a little critical feedback.
Thanks for the Huawei coverage though! Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkQuite a few spelling errors, but the important bits are there, especially the facts and the delving into specs and tech. Also some obvious common sense snark which is always nice here and there. Reply
Binarylab - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkFPC is a Swedish COMPANY and not Swiss. Say SWEDISH... Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkI get those confused sometimes as well. I remember them by swiss cheese and swedish meatballs. No wait, I'm confused again. Reply
semo - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkMore big phones with no removable batteries. Don't we have enough of these? Let me guess, no Qi either? Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkThe point of a 4100mah battery is you don't need to remove it, it's so big. Qi charging increases thickness and most people aren't willing to sacrifice that for wireless charging. Also, a lot of people plug in their phone and continue using their phone. You will have a far more difficult time tapping at a screen on a wireless charger, especially if the phone has a curved back. Reply
zodiacfml - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkNice job by Huawei though I would demand better specs for replacement since I just bought a Nexus this year. Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkNexus 5? The spec sheet goes much further than just SoC you know. This phone isn't even in the same size category. Reply
sousas - Friday, September 05, 2014 - linkis this phone going to be sold in US? if so do you know when it will be released . thank you Reply
siberstorm - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkIt will be sold unlocked by third party retailers as well as Huawei's own site, like the ascend mate 2. Not by any carriers. Reply
mohsin1994 - Saturday, September 06, 2014 - linkthis will be a show stopper definitely

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/12/2012 (1721 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Christmas comes early this week for fans of Canadian comedy, with a trio of high-profile homegrown acts bringing live shows to Winnipeg stages.
For the perpetual-motion comedy machine that is Ron James, heading out on an extended comedy tour feels a lot like going home.
The veteran standup comic just wrapped production on the upcoming fourth season of CBC's The Ron James Show (which returns with a New Year's Eve special and then debuts in its new Monday timeslot on Jan. 7), and the "R" word that immediately went through his mind wasn't "rest." It was "road."
"I feel like the chains are off when I'm onstage," says James, whose western-Canadian tour stops at the Pantages Playhouse Theatre this Saturday (Dec. 8, 8 p.m., tickets $59 at Ticketmaster). "I don't have to read a monitor, I don't have to stop and do the take again and again, I don't have to worry if one of the pieces in the monologue is going to prompt a phone call, an email, a lawsuit or whatever. When I'm on the stage, it's like I'm coming home again. It's freedom."
James says fans who turn up for his latest stop in the Prairie outpost he's visited so many times during the frozen part of the year will be treated to an energetic and innovative evening.
"I'm bringing a brand-new show to Manitoba, and I'm proud of that," he says. "I'm proud to be able to bring an all-new 90-minute show -- it's stuff I wrote for the (TV show) season this year, which hasn't been seen on television yet, and stuff I honed during my B.C. tour. I'm covering everything from the day-to-day struggles of the everyman -- you know, like Scotiabank's ruse that 'you're richer than you think' -- uh, I beg to differ; no, you aren't -- to all the spin that's coming out of Ottawa, like (Natural Resources Minister) Joe Oliver saying everybody who's against the (Northern) Gateway pipeline is a radical or a terrorist -- yeah, you know, like National Geographic -- one minute you're reading about zebras on the Serengeti, and the next you're in a sleeper cell, building Molotov cocktails to chuck at the motorcade. It's ridiculous."
If it sounds like James is getting a bit more pointed and, perhaps, political in his comedy, that's because he probably is.
"As I get older and as I evolve as a comedian, I would say that I'm no longer the folksy, doughnut-embracing troubadour who's just talking about the journey," he says. "Over the years, I've learned to state my case and honour the dictates of the (comedy) profession, which means to rock the apple cart, not ride in it.
"This is when the job gets real, when you have to call it the way it is. But after 13 years on the road and close to 18 in standup, I think I've earned the right to speak my mind."
And the best place to say it, he insists, is out here on the road, in front of the audiences that have shared his journey for the better part of two decades.
"Whether it's Corner Brook or Winnipeg or Prince Albert or Victoria, finding this commonality just rejuvenates my faith in the life force," he says. "I don't want to sound too new-agey about it, but it just makes me feel good when everybody's laughing.
"I think the thing I would miss more than anything if I gave up the road is the grunts and snorts and wheezes of a live, breathing audience. It's organic, it's real, it's substantial and fundamental, and the rules haven't changed since Buddy put a bowl in front of his feet in the village square back in 1147 and started getting some mileage from (making fun of) the king."
If there's one thing Gerry Dee -- and, for that matter, pretty much anyone else in Canadian show business -- should not be concerned about, it's overexposure.
Dee, who has been Canadian comedy's Mr. Everywhere in recent years -- from standup tours to Gerry Dee: Sports Reporter on The Score to CBC's Mr. D to poker-website pitchman -- says it's simply a matter of striking while the iron's hot.
"Really, what am I going to do -- turn things down because I'm worried about being overexposed?" says Dee, who brings his live comedy show to the Burton Cummings Theatre Friday (Dec. 7, 7:30 p.m., tickets $47.75 to $57.75 at Ticketmaster). "It's a very short window in entertainment; I don't want it to end, but when it does end, I want to have taken as much out of it as I can. You've got to take advantage of the opportunities when they come; that's certainly what I'm trying to do."
Dee, a former high-school phys-ed teacher who parlayed a third-place finish on NBC's Last Comic Standing (Season 3, 2007) into one of the busiest careers in Canadian showbiz, has turned out to be a shrewd businessman and adept self-promoter. In other words, real-life Gerry Dee is pretty darned smart at marketing his on-screen alter-ego, dimwitted jock Gerry Dee.
"In the real world, I'm a businessman, a husband, a parent and a pretty educated guy," he says. "But everything I portray, whether it's on The Score or Mr. D (which has its second-season debut on Jan. 7), or my book (Teaching: It's Harder Than It Looks), is a little bit of self-deprecation.
"I'm well versed at certain things, and not at other things. And I think what I've done is accentuate my weaknesses, then exaggerated them and made a standup act and a TV show out of them."
Rounding out this week's cavalcade of Canadian comedy is the latest revival/reunion/revenue-generation effort by Ricky, Julian and Bubbles -- the Trailer Park Boys' Dear Santa Claus, Go F Yourself tour, which jingles its way into the Burton Cummings Theatre on Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. (tickets $32.75 and $41.75 at Ticketmaster).
The Sunnyvale trio -- joined on this tour by arch-nemeses Mr. Lahey and Randy -- wasn't doing advance interviews prior to their cross-country jaunt, but the storyline provided in the tour's press material suggests Bubbles' effort to spread the true meaning of Christmas is derailed by Julian's attempt to cash in on the season and Ricky's determined but deluded pursuit of a face-to-face meeting with the real Santa Claus.
The betting here is that this show's F-word won't be "Fa-la-la."

I have a strong machine gun. I like to line up my lab assistants against a wall and shoot at them to see if they will die.
The power of the gun drops off by a factor of 10% every metre the bullets travel – so, in the first metre it's 90% of the original power.
I need to write a program that will do this using ASCII art. My program should ask the user for the total power of the gun, and the distance the person is standing from the end of the gun in metres. It should then draw the 'experiment' using the following characters:
If the power of the gun is greater than 50 units the rays should be an X
If the power of the gun is greater than 25 units the rays should be an x
If the power of the gun is greater than 10 units the rays should be a .
If the power of the gun falls to 10 units or below, the rays should be invisible (space)
Each character represents one metre and my gun looks like this: p==.
The bulets are only dangerous if they are above 10 units, at which strength they will demolish anything in their path.
So the program would look like this:
- Code: Select all
Initial strength: 100
Distance to person: 20
You have 1 less lab assistant!
Or, if the ray gun was less powerful and the person further away, it might look like this:
- Code: Select all
Initial strength: 50
Distance to person: 20
p==xxxxxx......... P|
The lab assistant survives!
Hint #1
Check the number of characters from the end of the gun to the lab assistant carefully! The lab assistant is either:
the * (asterisk) in the middle of the explosion if they are demolished;
the P if they survive and are still standing against the wall (the | character).
The length can be checked using copy and paste into a Python string, e.g.:
for the first example we have above.
Hint #2
Printing a backslash can be a bit tricky! The backslash is used to indicate a special interpretation of the following character, like newlines ('\n') and tabs ('\t'). This is called escaping the character.
Another example is if you want to put a single quote inside a single quoted string, you put a backslash before the quote, so Python knows you're not finishing the string yet, like this 'o\'clock'.
So if a backslash escapes the next character, what do you do if you actually want a backslash itself? Answer: use two backslashes:
