Separating different types of content on your site
We try to include as many different types of sites as possible in Google News, but we only include articles that offer timely reporting on matters that are important or interesting to our audience. Generally, we don't include how-to articles, classified ads, job postings, promotional content or strictly informational articles like weather forecasts or stock data.
Sometimes our system isn't always able to tell these different types of content apart. If your site mixes news content with other types of content, we may not be able to include any of your articles on Google News. There are a few options you may want to consider so that you share only your news content with us:
- Place all of your non-news content on a different host or directory, such as http://jobs.example.com or http://example.com/jobs, so that our crawler will be able to distinguish between your different content types. Please note that you should also be careful how you link from one part of your site to another. Sometimes our crawler will scan one part of your site with news content and find links to other content that may not meet our guidelines for inclusion.
- Set up a robots.txt file to prevent Googlebot-News from accessing any folder or directory with non-news content. Alternatively, you can use META tags to block our crawler from following links to specific pages.
- Create a Google News Sitemap for your news articles only. You'll need to let us know that you'd prefer to have your articles crawled exclusively through your sitemap so that we can make the configuration change on our side.
Additionally, if you have a section of your site with press releases or blogs, you should consider separating this content using the suggestions above. We try to categorize blogs and press releases as best we can, but our system may not always categorize your articles correctly if one section contains many different types of articles. If you prefer to have our system exclusively crawl your sitemap, you'll have more control over how your content gets labeled using content type tags.
If you're able to make the necessary changes to allow us to crawl only your news content, or better categorize that content, please let us know and we'll be happy to review or update your site in our system.

Techsmart owner tries Chinese "BMW" class phone
Cantravel has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
Just got this a week ago in Canada. First unit sold at the dealer of this model which had just arrived.
Compared it with SIII, Nexus, LG Optimus and RaZR and figured it had the best balance of screen size, overall size, memory (32G SD and 8G internal), and most of all battery size/life. After using it and grabbing several apps, it met all my expectations and more!
Lastly, each of the other high end phones had at least 1 significant downside (or dealbreaker) that did not exist in this phone.Build quality 9/10Reception 9/10Call quality 9/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 9/10Camera 8/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 9/10Battery 10/10
- Nice size, big enough screen, but easy to fit in a case on belt or in your pocket. The larger 4.7" + phones are just too big.
- None, except waiting for "Jelly Bean" upgrade

Good phone for the price
Tavo79 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
I have bought this phone wondering if it was better than Samsung Galaxy S3, but it isn't. It's quite similar for a few bucks less. Has the right size, better display and a great battery.
There are no ROM modds around, so you will have to stick with a plain ICS Android.

Did you know?
South African leisure resort, Hyatt Regency Oubaai, features Ernie Els' first signature 18-hole golf course in the country.
Resort accommodation in South Africa is plentiful; there are literally hundreds of holiday resorts spread across the length and breadth of the country, each offering their own unique experience.
Unlike in other countries where resorts are often characterised by large sprawling estates featuring every activity under the sun, South African holiday resorts tend to be smaller and vary greatly in their offerings.
Many of the resorts are graded by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa, ranging from one to five-star; this provides some indication of the facilities available. The types of resorts available include self-catering; caravan and camping; lodge; and hotel resorts and within that, everything from golf and sports resorts to safari and casino resorts.
There's also a new breed of eco-resort emerging. These are often located in ecologically sensitive areas, including mountain and bush destinations, where facilities and activities are managed according to sound environmental principles.
Larger resorts usually offer a range of indoor and outdoor sports, mountain biking, walks, hikes, and swimming, often with multiple pools. Safari resorts specialise in game activities while golfing and casino resorts have facilities structured around these activities.
As resort holidays are family-friendly, most resorts offer activities and facilities for children and some even boast dedicated children's programmes.
If you're looking for five-star resort accommodation in South Africa, try Oyster Bay Resort (caravan and camping) in the Eastern Cape; Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa (hotel) in the Western Cape; Forever Resorts Matombu Wild (self-catering) in Mpumalanga; and Sun City resort (hotel) in North West.

Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II Now 25 Percent More Vulnerable to Lightning, Attacks
Tiffany Kaiser
January 15, 2013 10:59 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: wikimedia.org)
Reducing the aircraft's weight by 11 pounds has made it more vulnerable
An attempt at cutting the weight of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has
made it more vulnerable
to lightning and enemy attacks, says a new report.
The report, conducted by the Pentagon's Operational Test and Evaluation office (OT&E), found that shedding a few pounds from Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (also known as Lightning II) has made the aircraft 25 percent more vulnerable in certain dangerous situations.
Lightning II
lost two safety features in 2008, including the PAO shutoff valve and the fueldraulic system. The PAO shutoff valve weighed 2 pounds and the fueldraulic system weighed 9 pounds, bringing the grand total to an 11 pound weight loss.
However, the new report from OT&E suggests that getting rid of the PAO shutoff valve could lead to a rupture below the cockpit and ridding the fueldraulic system increases the chance of a sustained fire if exposed.
Test flights found that the Lightning II cannot be within 25 miles of known lightning conditions due to a poor design of the On-Board Intert Gas Generating System. This feature makes sure there are correct oxygen levels in the fuel tank.
"The program's most recent vulnerability assessment showed that the removal of fueldraulic fuses, the PAO shutoff valve and the dry bay fire suppression, also removed in 2008, results in the F-35 not meeting the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) requirement to have a vulnerability posture better than analogous legacy aircraft," officials wrote in the report.
The report also found cracks in the F-35A's right wing and right engine as well as the F-35B's bulkhead flange.
"Lockheed Martin believes the program is demonstrating exceptional stability, certainly significantly greater than any legacy aircraft development program, which is a primary measure for DT&E," said Laura Siebert, a Lockheed spokeswoman. "Each year, as issues are discovered in test, our flight test team identifies additional test objectives that can be accomplished while we resolve the issues discovered.
"From an Operational Test and Evaluation perspective, we fully expect to deliver a qualified product to OT&E as scheduled. We appreciate the feedback from the OT&E community on what remains to be demonstrated over the next three years leading up to the OT&E phase of the program."
Last March, it was announced that the lifetime cost of the Lightning II is
$1.45 trillion

With all the major news outlets plugging their twitter usernames, how long before twitter is the new myspace? Or is it already there?
I've found that it's nothing but a bunch of noise. The moment you start following someone popular is the moment you've subscribed to the static channel.
Being a part of the mainstream may make twitter less cool but I'd hardly say it's a negative for using it. If anything Twitter's potential is increasing... although certainly harder to do and requires more selectivity.
tumblr is probably twitter's most direct competitor.
The trend I've been seeing lately with younger users is that they seem to gravitate more to sharing services (like tumblr, instagram), rather than shout-out services (like twitter, facebook)
Either way, when a service breaks out of the tech enthusiast bubble and into the general public, there are going to be more people that eventually encounter it and start to use it.
There are pros and cons of everything.
I love twitter because its less cluttered as compared to facebook.If something big happens immediately, it starts trending on twitter.
And 140 characters are much much better as compared to reading long stories/status on facebook.
Its popularity has not diminished over the years and a few mobile apps like Vine where users can create and post 6 seconds videos is running really hot now.
It is who you follow that makes a social network worthwhile. Although I noticed that a large number of influencers are starting to broadcast about almost everything that is related to their industry, I try my best to keep my tweet stream relevant so that it only contains high quality links or tweets. A well maintained tweet stream can be a useful source for news and high quality articles.
I think Twitter is here to stay. MySpace lost its glory because of Facebook and how much more control the user has with Facebook.
Actually, myspace was known for allowing users to go completely bananas on their profiles. It was facebook that was rather restrictive.Part of facebook's rise to power was due to the fact it was restrictive and exclusive.
Myspace later took a page out of facebook's playbook and toned the "wild wild west of the web" theme down a bit, but the damage was already done. Today, people tend to join social networks because their friends are already there. Considering more people use facebook, people who have friends on facebook are more likely to join their friends there rather then try to start a new social circle on their own on another network, such as myspace.
Twitter is not only being integrated into thousands of websites and mobile apps, but its also being really integrated into our daily brick and mortar lives. Athletes, celebrities, commentators, Newscasters, even Professional Wrestlers are accessible. Twitter isnt going anywhere anytime soon.
Twitter can be all noise and nothing else is you have a wrong strategy. Some people really misuse it and I immediate unfollow those who do. Other than that, I'd have to agree with angelobe77, Twitter totally owns it when you need to share something quick.
Everything is possible even though Twitter is doing great and is well established in the social media.
I would expect Facebook to disappear long before Twitter does. Not that either of them os going to disappear any time soon.
Why would you say that?
Twitter provides a unique service that no one else provides.
Facebook is in competition with many other social media sites and while it is currently the most popular it would only need one of the others to produce a "must have" option for a significant number of people to switch across.
I would consider Twitter much more at risk by your logic. They provide what amounts to a short-form, public sharing tool... now that they idea is "out" it is by no means unique nor particular difficult in its self. Instead their advantage is the same as Facebook's -- insane scale.
Switching costs in social have far less to do with features than your network. This has been shown with the launch of all those other social sites: some have created nice niches, a few huge populations but neither network has been dethroned despite others having better features. If people don't follow it doesn't much matter if someone is "better".
Twitter's format also raises questions about revenue. They do seem to be making headway and are wise to keep the figures quiet but if the advertising community doesn't get Facebook -- with sizable text & image messages -- you can bet Twitter confuses it even more.
So which ten other social sites would you see as the greatest threats to Twitter? I am unaware of any other site that has tried to take on the Twitter niche whereas I know of quite a few that are somewhat similar to Facebook - although generally not as confusing to use.
Twitter provides a means for sharing a message to others in mass and being able to respond back to it. That's the core value proposition and on that basis it competes against Facebook, Google+, Path, App.net, Tumblr / microblogging and a whole host of others that did not or have yet to get very far. That's not to say that these companies would identify Twitter as their target but rather that almost all major social services are centered around a similar idea: the feed.
The question however is their approach to it (Twitter pushed short lengths while Path uses actions) and how people chose to use them (Facebook never wanted to be particularly private, but the amount shared caused people to expect the option). Thus the biggest risk to Twitter is not so much a competitive service doing something a bit better as it is a change in the user and what they want.
Take instagram as an example: while you could call it limited (and I did not list it as a competitor for that reason), the response to a photo is generally many times that of a tweet, even a tweet with the same photo. By operating solely around visuals and by allowing one-way micro-interactions, Instagram caters to something Twitter thought they had themselves... It gave people a focused way to do photos.
In fact I'd argue that Twitter's greatest strength is also the potential weakness: freedom. Facebook centers around a friends & family, Instagram around and interests and affinity but Twitter is really up to the user to define. This is what makes it so powerful but it also creates friction for the new user. This also extends into the power users vs lurkers dilemma but I'm already far enough off topic from your question.
As for Facebook, with over a billion users people may not love the system, the rules, or even the UI but they certainly seem to have figured them out just fine.
But I'm long on both.

New barracks for troops returning from Germany must not block the rising sun from casting light on Stonehenge at the summer equinox, a Wiltshire MP has said.
Accommodation for more than 4,000 troops due to be based at Larkhill is currently subject to consultation.
North Wiltshire MP James Gray today urged Defence Secretary Philip Hammond to step in to make sure the ancient stone circle would be protected.
Mr Gray said: "Given that Wiltshire loves the Army and will welcome the 4,000 soldiers due to return there from Germany shortly, they also love Stonehenge and the mysterious mists swirling, the mysteries that surround the stones.
"Will you look carefully into reports that houses which have been built to house these 4,000 soldiers will in fact be built to block off the rising sun on the summer equinox, and, if so, will you make sure it doesn't happen?"
Mr Hammond said: "You are right to highlight the importance of preserving important sites like Stonehenge and of a careful approach to the design of any development that might impact upon them.
"I too saw the press articles you refer to and I'm happy to reassure you that although Larkhill is an important element of our strategy for accommodating returning troops from Germany... no decision has been taken about the location of additional service accommodation.
"There is a public consultation about to close and organisations like English Heritage have expressed the issues you have raised today very clearly and we will make a decision in due course."

NEW ORLEANS — Much of Leonard Cohen's Thursday night concert at the Mahalia Jackson Theater had the reverent tone of a religious service. The reverence wasn't directed toward a deity, however, but to music and to exquisitely shaped words expressed in song and to the unfathomable mysteries that accompany the human heart.
The gracious Cohen served as the evening's minster of music. Wearing an elegantly simple dark suit and fedora, the 78-year-old singer-songwriter-poet often sank to his knees. Holding his microphone in his two hands, he looked like a man engaged in fervent prayer.
During "Ain't No Cure for Love," Cohen turned to his celestial trio of backup singers — Charley and Hattie Webb, aka the Webb Sisters, and his longtime collaborator, Sharon Robinson — and said, "Tell them, angels."
Cohen's songs, often but not always performed at stately, brooding tempos, do resemble prayers. "Bird on a Wire," one his classics, has the gravitas of prayer, and Thursday's performance of the song had the tone of a hymn. But Cohen being Cohen, the performance of "Amen," from his 2012 album, "Old Ideas," existed somewhere between a house of worship and a cabaret.
Cohen's minimalist singing style is closer to speaking, or praying, than singing. Adding more weight to his lyrics and music, the years have deepened his voice from a soft baritone to a rumbling bass.
A sincere Cohen expressed his gratitude to his enraptured audience multiple times through his marathon concert.
"Thank you, friends, very much for your kindness," he said early in a concert that began at 8:20 p.m. and ended far past 11 p.m. "I don't know when we will meet again. No one ever knows that. But tonight I promise you, we will give you everything we've got."
He kept the promise. Cohen and his amazing band, as well as Robinson and the Webb sisters, delivered exquisite performances of his classics as well as songs from the recent "Old Ideas."
Cohen's supporting players, including violinist Alexandru Bublichi and Javier Mas (a multi-instrumentalist who plays an arsenal of exotic stringed instruments), were perfectly attuned to his muse. The troupe's synchronicity with its leader helped Cohen cast the evening's hypnotic spell.
Frequently directing the audience's attention away from himself, Cohen turned to his respective singers and musicians as they soloed, removing his hat and placing it over his heart. For a man of 78, too, he was quite spry, practically running on stage during his entrances and frequently dancing, albeit with economical movements.
Even though the concert's first half was light on Cohen classics, it still was transporting. So, too, the second half.
Cohen stood in an ethereal spotlight as he sang another of his best-known songs, the haunting "Suzanne." The song also was a rare instance of him accompanying himself with guitar.
The second half also saw him performing the best-known song in his catalog, "Hallelujah." During the song's chorus, lights turned upon the audience, as if Cohen was engaging his congregation in a mass embrace. "Hallelujah" received an especially moving performance within this extraordinarily engaging concert.

PHILADELPHIA – For the second year in a row, University of Pennsylvania senior Dani Shepherd was named Northeast All-Region Honorable Mention on Tuesday by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The Los Angeles native is the third Quaker in program history to be recognized by the AVCA -- Megan Tryon earned Northeast All-Region Honorable Mention in 2009 & 2010 and Elisabeth Kwak-Hefferan was named Northeast All-Region in 2002 & 2003.
2013 AVCA Division I All-Region Teams
A two-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, Shepherd earned first-team All-Ivy and is just the fourth Quaker to earn the honor three years in a row, first since Kwak-Hefferan (2001-03). Even though the libero missed seven matches due to injury, Shepherd led the Ivy League in digs per set (5.52) and finished the regular season 11th nationally at the Division I level.
Throughout her four years playing for the Red and Blue, Shepherd totaled 1,764 digs and ranks second all-time in Penn history behind her predecessor, Madison Wojciechowski.
This season, Shepherd led the team with 26 service aces and totaled 20 of more digs in 13 or her 18 matches.

*T*, you have serious issues bro, but I must say, I want to eat pasta off of an iPad too... at Dante & Luigi's in Philly. It would be money well spent.
why do you want to eat pasta off of an iPad? I dont get it.
If you're going to eat pasta off an iPad, you should use this wallpaper:
Or you can just leave it without a case and goto WorthAveGroup and insure it for less than that. All this is doing is offering your insurance, no different that if you went to square trade, worthavegroup and the like; only thing is, they give you a case...LOL!
I'll stick with my 9.99 case and when I break it, I send it off and for a 50.00 deductible, I get a fixed or brand new phone.
Just my humbled opinion!
I will stick with my lifeproof case I took my phone out the other day and it was like brand new no dust or anything
....if your iPhone is broken while inside of the cellhelmet, cellpig.com promises you a free replacement for the broken parts, or if not fixable, a new iPhone - no matter how damaged it is,
I'll stick to my lifeproof case also. Protects against everything including water...and their customer service is great!
What is considered broken? Has anyone read the fine print? Does a scratched screen qualify as "broken"? I would doubt it . How would the case protect the screen from scratches? Cracks, yes, I could see covered....but I wouldn't be sure about scratches...as it is not a "broken" phone....just a ugly one.
Yeah I can pretty much guarantee that IF your phone breaks whole inside this case and you try to get your phone fixed or replaced by this company I'm sure there will more than likely bee the loop hole of, "there's not enough damage on the case to PROVE you were using it at the time of damage", so they'll just get out of their "warranty", got your 49.99$ and $50 S&H, and say you're a liar......bye bye. It isn't the first company to provide such a guarantee and screw you out of it when their product doesn't prove out to be what they claim. Shy of having a video of your phone in the case showing the about screen (SSN, ECID, etc...) and getting broke good luck getting the benefit of their warranty.

Topic: New to Hospice
My Dad was diagnosed with intrahepatic bile duct cancer in Nov. 2006 at the age of 74. After an unsucessful surgery due to metatasis. He underwent several months of chemotherapy (5FU) and seemed to hold his own. After good results from that they performemed Cyberknife radiation treatment which after waiting a few months, results showed shrinkage of the tumor but still cancer growth around the abdomen. he also seemed alot weaker and confused.
In April 2008, 14 months after diagnosis he started another round of chemo.This did not seem to be successful and after an MRI showed that the tumor had actually doubled in size. The doctor has recomended radiation to break up the tumor to avoid spinal damage, but also hospice.
Dad also is acting very confused and sleeping almost 18 hours a day. Is this normal? The confusion is puzzling because he did have a test for Alzheimers which was negative and yet we really can't seem to have a converstion with him. Is it the medicine? He really isn't taking too many pain killers. He resists the Hydocordizone that the doctors encourage him to take.
Any thoughts?
Thank you Elizabeth

After blowing late lead, Phillies respond to end skid
After Diekman can't hold it in eighth, Philly manufactures runs in ninth
MIAMI -- It has been a rough couple of weeks for Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg.
It has been rough for everybody, really.
But Thursday night, the Phillies enjoyed their postgame meals in something other than silence. They beat the Marlins at Marlins Park, 5-4, to snap a six-game losing streak, despite blowing a lead in the eighth. The Phillies have lost 10 of 13 and are 11 games under .500, so victories at this point are probably too late to change the front office's minds about the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, but at least it broke up the monotony.
"The good thing is we didn't get swept," Phillies outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. said as music blared in the clubhouse. "We were able to get a win. Hopefully it'll propel us into some more. Getting swept is a bad feeling. Then having to get on a plane after that is even worse. We have to just keep grinding away."
Kyle Kendrick and Cameron Rupp came up big early in the victory. The beleaguered Phillies offense came up bigger in the ninth after Jake Diekman could not hold a one-run lead in the eighth.
"I guess the biggest thing is the guys fought back, fought back in the end," Sandberg said.
Sandberg looked to be in better spirits Thursday, although it is difficult to read the emotions of the mild-mannered manager. But he seemed at a loss following Wednesday's 5-0 loss, sighing loudly as reporters entered his office afterward.
The Phillies needed a win, even if it doesn't help their cause much.
"We are where we're at," Kendrick said. "We made our bed. We just have to keep playing baseball and see what happens."
Diekman started the eighth with a 3-2 lead, despite the fact he had to face right-handed hitters Ed Lucas, Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee. Diekman has great stuff, but right-handed hitters had posted a .750 OPS against him, compared to left-handed hitters, who posted a .468 OPS.
Sandberg said he did not want right-hander Ken Giles to face Stanton and McGehee for a third consecutive day. He also said right-hander Justin De Fratus was unavailable because of "tenderness." De Fratus said he is fine, although he noted he struggled trying to get through two innings in Tuesday's 5-4 loss in 11 innings.
Lucas and Stanton started the eighth with singles to put runners on first and second. Diekman uncorked a wild pitch to put the runners in scoring position when McGehee bounced a ground ball to Chase Utley, who threw to first base for the first out. It scored Lucas to tie the game.
Jeff Baker, pinch-hitting for left-handed-hitting Garrett Jones, followed with a triple to right-center field to score Stanton and give the Marlins a one-run lead.
The Phillies had lost the lead.
But they came right back. Gwynn worked a leadoff walk in the ninth against Marlins closer Steve Cishek. Ben Revere followed two batters later with a single to put runners at the corners with one out.
Revere stole second and Gwynn scored the tying run when Jimmy Rollins hit a ball to Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano, who inexplicably threw home despite no real shot to get Gwynn. The throw home proved costly, putting Revere at third with only one out.
Utley's groundout to Solano allowed Revere to score to give the Phillies the lead.
"Anytime it's a one-run game, you feel like you're in it," Gwynn said. "I don't think you're coming off the field feeling better because you had a lead going into the inning and you're down a run when you come off ... but we're professionals. A one-run lead in this game is not an insurmountable amount of runs. We did a good job of sticking with it."
The late-inning drama overshadowed nice efforts from Kendrick and Rupp.
Kendrick allowed six hits, two runs, one walk and struck out four in seven innings. Rupp hit a two-out double to right field to score two runs in the sixth to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead.
"I've got that in me," Kendrick said of his successful night. "I was happy with the way I threw. I went deep into the game and gave us a chance to win."

John Tortorella:
On Tim Thomas:
"He was the difference. We have a chance at the end on the 5-on-3 and we don't get it done. But he certainly was the difference."
On the 5-on-3:
"The low play was there and Dubi shoots it wide. It was a great pass by Step. Then after that, in looking at it, there was just not enough puck movement. We are just holding onto it too much. One guy is holding onto it instead of letting the puck work. It's something we need to work at because we haven't scored on that (0 for 4 this season) and that's a pretty important one. That's something we've got to get better at."
"That's a tough team to play against. I think we developed 19 or 20 scoring chances against them. I have no problem how we played. I think we gave them one, the first one. They scored two goals when we pushed the puck up the strong side. Gilly is in a hell of a spot there as a right-handed shot left-D. I'd like to see him maybe just try and hold it and stop on the puck instead of trying to bat it. Teams that come at you, they're going to take the strong side away. Danny (Girardi), it's just not the right plau. It's a play we just never make up the strong side and that ends up being in the net. But other than a couple of breakdowns there, I think we held them to eight or nine scoring chances. I have no problem with the way we played. It's just not executing the 5-on-3 and just trying to chip out a couple of the mistakes."
On Christensen passing instead of shooting early:
"I don't know why he doesn't just throw it in the net. Everyone knows with Tim Thomas, if you move a puck laterally, he's going to be aggressive on the puck. He's going to be diving across. I mean, it's an open net. Erik's just got to throw it at the net. I don't know why he's trying to do more on that play. You can't look for more on Tim Thomas. You get him moving side to side, you get a chance to end up with a pretty good scoring chance because he's so aggressive on the puck."

This time of year is about gearing up and winding down….that means a lot is happening here. While schools are preparing for finals, regents exams and proms – here at NFTE Fairchester we are in the middle of the Semi-Finals of the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge. On May 29, the top students from the classroom competitions in Westchester County stepped into the spotlight and presented their businesses to a panel of esteemed business leaders and community volunteers at Westchester Community College. But guess what – it doesn't stop there. On June 5th, we do it all over again – this time for our students in Fairfield County, Connecticut at UConn Stamford. Another winner will be chosen who will join her fellow Westchester County Winner at the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in New York City in October.
These amazing events highlight the accomplishments of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the partnerships that make the work that we do possible…our supporters, volunteers, educators and of course our many colleagues around the country. Thank you for ensuring that every young person can realize a dream, and discover his or her unique pathway to success.
When we gathered at Westchester Community College, we were inspired by our guest speakers: Marsha Gordon, President/CEO of The Business Council of Westchester; Tom Kallish, Chairman and Founder of Tommie Copper; and Jason Rivera, NFTE Fairchester 2012 first place winner and national semi-finalist. Each of these individuals has a unique perspective on the power of entrepreneurship to transform lives. Jason, an emerging entrepreneur and a student at Pace University majoring marketing, attributes NFTE for opening many doors including an invitation to speak at The MasterCard Global Inclusion Summit in winter 2013.
The Fairchester semi-finalists of this year's National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge are once again proving that NFTE truly serves as a conduit for students to take control of their futures. Fueled with innovative business ideas, the 2013 NFTE class was able to work with their highly skilled teachers and mentors as they navigated through the curriculum on the road to a polished and comprehensive business plan.
This is also the time of year when our staff and Board of Advisors finalize plans for the upcoming school year. In reviewing our accomplishments and challenges we were reminded how much our chapter has grown and the potential that still beckons our attention and sparks our creativity. In 2014 we will be celebrating our 15 Year Anniversary and the more than 14,000 students who have received a NFTE education through school district collaborations with our chapter. In the coming year we plan to serve nearly 1,900 youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, almost 30% more students than this past year. We intend to deepen our partnerships and engage and recognize our volunteers with exciting events and activities. And stay tuned for the announcement of our first ever NFTE Fairchester fundraising gala.
As our network of generous sponsors, volunteers and community supporters grows so does our ability to empower students to think like entrepreneurs, become the engines of economic revitalization and growth, and plan for financially independent futures. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.

Some Haswell TDPs Revealed: 15W & 28W Ultrabooksby Anand Lal Shimpi on 5/2/2013 2:08 AM EST

GuniGuGu - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkHow do these benchmark compare to the current GPU offerings such as the popular Nvidia 650m? Reply
GuniGuGu - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkTo answer my own question: Nootbookcheck ran the numbers:
"Intel also listed the new Core i7-4558U, which features 28W of TDP and is designed for larger 15" devices. This CPU managed performance that was 2.25 times that of the 3687U, garnering a score of around 1,350 points. Astonishingly, this is not only faster than AMD's Radeon HD 7660G, but also rivals that of the dedicated GeForce GT 640M LE"
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-releases-perfor... Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkYou can compare the old HD4000 vs the 650M using AnandTechs own Bench database:
3dMark 11 sees the 650M as a 3x favorite, so the GT3e seems to get more or less the same score. For real games, HD4000 was trialing the nVidia card with factors between 2 and 4, so it will be interesting to see real-world benchmarks for the new parts. Reply
Kabij2289 - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkI wonder how AMD's next gen APU's graphics will fare compared to Iris or Iris Pro.
AMD probably prepared for Intel to step it up in GPU performance, it's just a matter of if they expected that much of a step up.... Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkThey absolutely did. They know that graphics performance scales very well with the number of execution units, and Intel has announced a long time ago that they would double the number of EUs. So twice the performance is exactly what everybody expected from Haswell. Reply
B3an - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkSo if the 15W parts don't have Iris, then what do they have? HD4000 still? Reply
B3an - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkAnd will these 15W parts also be going in tablets? Because i think we was all expecting better than this from Haswell. What happened to the sub 10W parts Intel was showing off? Reply
kirilmatt - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkAll of Intel's ULV Haswell parts are getting released later then their high-end chips. It may seem like Haswell is imminent in "ultrabooks" and tablets but this is not the case Reply
Krysto - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkIt was all another lie/misleading fact from Intel, and Anand, unfortunately, kept that lie alive until very recently.
Haswell is only going to achieve a 10W TDP by doing the same thing they did with that IVB with 13W TDP, where they cut the clock speed down to 800 Mhz.
So I'll tell you EXACTLY what Intel is going to do. They will release a 800 Mhz or so Haswell version for "mobile". They will start lying about its real clock speed, though, just like they are doing for Atom now, and say it's actually a 1.3 Ghz or higher chip (with Turbo-Boost, but of course they'll 'forget" to mention this in their press releases). Then they'll probably tell the second lie, that it's a "7W chip" ("whoops, did we also "forget" to mention it's SDP, not TDP?")
Re-read what I said again, remember it, then comeback in fall and tell me how wrong I was. But I'm thinking I'm not wrong at all. I've been paying VERY careful attention to Intel's press releases in the past 2 years, and they are anything if not EXTREMELY MISLEADING. And Anand is not helping by repeating their lies in his podcasts and posts. Reply
tipoo - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - link4600 maybe. Reply
Zandros - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkA few have GT3 graphics (HD5000), most have HD4600 IIRC. As we saw in the previous article, only HD5100 and up get Iris branding. Reply
yhselp - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkFor years we've been reading how Intel's Haswell architecture would finally bring mobile TDPs down to the 10-20W range. Now it all seems like a bunch of marketing talk - what we actually get is +2W on standard voltage parts and -2W on ultra-low voltage parts. Would Intel even include a 10W one-chip ULV part as reported recently?
What could have Intel possibly meant by putting Haswell and 10-20W in the same sentence in the past, that Haswell is the first step towards such TDPs? If so it doesn't seem likely we'd see such thermals across the board until a mature 10nm process, which pretty much means 2017. Reply
kirilmatt - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkThis is why we need AMD. Intel no longer has reason to deliver anymore with no competition. I hope Kaveri, Kabini and Temash make Intel actually innovate for once. I personally am waiting for Kaveri Reply
Lonyo - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkTDP is just a design power.
If I have a 17w or 15w TDP, I can make it limit itself to 10w by reducing clockspeed.
The more important thing is the lower power states, since that's where a CPU will be most of the time in tablet type workloads.
How often are you going to max your tablet CPU?
Sure, it might be a little disappointing that TDPs of what's been shown so far aren't that far down, but that doesn't mean battery life won't be potentially significantly improved. Reply
rootheday - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkDon't forget that the ultrabook parts at 15w also include the PCH and the integrated voltage regulator - components that are not included in the 17w on previous generation. Factoring those extra ingredients in means that the CPU/gpu/cache/memory controller/display power is more like 11w budget for apples-to-apples vs IvyBridge.
The 15w Haswells have U sku names; There may also be Y skus that hit lower power envelopes. Reply
yhselp - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkI'm well aware of this, as mentioned in the original post, however, Intel led the public to believe (or is that just me?) Haswell's ULV parts would be 10W in a recent presentation; they even went as far as to demo a 7W part (Y). And while it's undeniable we're getting faster, more efficient hardware, it's all going a bit slower than expected, at least for me. Reply
Amagus - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - link10W and sub-10W parts are coming later in the year. They won't be part of the initial launch. Reply
RU482 - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkyes - those are the Y-SKU. the were originally slated to be 7.5W "SDP", but that has recently been reduced to 6W! Reply
kirilmatt - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkSDP is really a scam, they should measure everything on the same scale, "Y" series chips are just marketing Reply
Conficio - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkAny word on what resolutions these comparisons are made on?
I'm hoping for next gen notebooks to be at minimum 1920x1080 or better (although I don't hold my breath) 1920x1200. Not to speak of retina displays.
And I don't care about gaming, OS UI, video, web rendering is just fine for me. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkHere's hoping it's good enough to make a great Razer Edge tablet with Iris Pro. Reply
yhselp - Friday, May 03, 2013 - linkHighly unlikely. Iris Pro starts at 47W; and while the Edge is capable of cooling two chips with a total power consumption of about 37W, it wouldn't be able to handle a single 'big' chip at 47W. It would be able to handle Iris (non-Pro) in the form of the 28W chip, but this part probably wouldn't be significantly faster (if at all) than the 640 LE. Therefore, it makes more sense to offer the 2nd gen Edge with a 15W (or even lower) Haswell ULV coupled with a 700-series or higher GeForce. Reply
kirilmatt - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkOr they could offer a Kaveri ULV APU that could perform better at a lower TDP and cost Reply
shing3232 - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkTHIS IS JUST BENCHMARK...... I want real game bech. Reply
eanazag - Friday, May 03, 2013 - linkIt is good to be a customer next year and end of this year. Performance pressure from Intel GPUs mean that the bottom falls out for discrete GPUs in laptops. Means that discrete vendors will have to put out much better parts than they care to or shrink away from that market totally. AMD will be sucking wind on their APUs. They are close to losing the only advantage they have. AMD needs a game changer. Will their ARM license start showing up? Reply
evilspoons - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkLooks like this should help out on the 13" Retina Macbook Pro. Interesting. Reply
kirilmatt - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkWhile it's good that intel is significantly increasing iGPU performance with Haswell there is little to no chance they will rival Kaveri especially with HSA and GCN. They will also lose to richland in iGPU performance. The other problem is that CPU performance is only about 5% better, 10% in certain benchmarks. AMD is increasing CPU performance much faster then Intel and their iGPU lead is not evaporating. Reply
jpal12 - Sunday, May 05, 2013 - linkThe 28w ones could go into 13.3" ultrabooks as well, the MacBook retina 13" has a 35w ivy bridge, and haswell has an integrated voltage regulator, which should decrease the power consumption. Reply
MelodyRamos47 - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - linkjust before I saw the check which had said $4099, I have faith that...my... cousin was truley erning money part time on there computar.. there sisters neighbour haz done this for only twentey months and just now took care of the dept on their villa and bought Ariel Atom. this is where I went, Bow6.comCHECK IT OUT Reply
Krysto - Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - linkSo much for the "much more efficient" Haswell.
I said it even before Anand thought about it, that if anything the "tablet" version of Haswell will be a VERY underpowered version of the chip., but for some reason Anand kept pushing the idea that Haswell will "get efficient enough" to be used in tablets.
But it's not "getting that efficient". It's only going to cut the performance dramatically to even achieve a 10W TDP, which is still far too high for a tablet - unless you want a 15,000 mAh battery in it, but good luck with the pricing and weight on that one. Reply

Did you know?
The first camp was built at Lion Sands in 1933.
The family-owned Lion Sands Private Game Reserve in the famous Sabi Sand Reserve, is the only lodge in the area that is located on the banks of the Sabie River, a favourite drinking spot for elephants, impalas, baboons and many other animals − and a favourite stalking ground for leopard.
The river lodge is positioned in a pristine riverine forest amongst ancient trees. The area is well known for excellent game viewing and has a lower concentration of lodges compared to other areas of Sabi Sands.
With only the river separating the lodge from the world famous Kruger Park, Lion Sands provides a great diversity of fauna and flora. The unique location makes it a perfect place in the African bush for a wedding − the reserve will help you organise the biggest day in your life from scratch.
The award-winning Ivory Lodge is an ultra luxurious getaway in the bush frequented by celebs and stars wanting exclusivity and privacy with spacious suites, personal dining areas and completely private viewing decks.
If you need a break from the excitement of game-viewing then try one of the relaxing spa treatments at Lalamuka Spa. 'Lalamuka' means 'unwind' in Shangaan and this is exactly what Lion Sands is all about. A range of body and facial treatments are available to help rid you of urban stresses.
You'll not only see lots of game wandering along the river banks, but also on game drives and bush walks which are excellent opportunities to get close up with Africa's wildlife, including that most formidable predator, the lion.
You'll also encounter other members of the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, rhinoceros and leopard). The staff will also happily arrange a breakfast or dinner in the bush for a true African experience. The already delicious food tastes even better under the stars or in the warm morning sun.

Hi, my site allows users (marathon runners) to create a marathon profile page so that they can accept donations online from their friends and families.
A marathon runner has two buttons in the profile admin section:
1 - Release Funds (funds are sent to the charity because they successfully ran the marathon)
2 - Refund Funds (funds are sent back to each of the donators because the marathon runner did not run the marathon)
QUESTION 1 - What way do you think is best way to process / handle the 2 payments above?
A - each marathon profile has a different payment status for the charity ($charity_payment_status) and each donator (in a separate donations table), so when a marathon is completed and the runner clicks the Release Funds button, the $charity_payment_status field is updated to 'payment_pending' and then a cron runs to batch process all the payments every 15 mins, and then the $charity_payment_status is updated to 'settled'.
B - do you think it would be better to process payments on the fly... so as soon as the user presses the Release Funds button, this should process the payments there and then too.
QUESTION 2 - i am planning on using paypal for payments as i need a way that i can easily refund each of the donators if the marathon runner does not run the marathon and decides to press the Refund Funds button, HOWEVER, can you think of any other payment system that might work well.
Thanks in advance to any help you may be able to give with this...
Well, PayPal is definately an option if you want a popular payment method on the website but always be careful of the frauds that are common for PayPal. Moneybookers is still an option.
Q1. Because of the potential for fraud as gedeon pointed out, Paypal option A is probably a safe option for you. You could try accepting Paypal but only allowing verified Paypal accounts.Q2. We are in Australia so can't really suggest on the best payment option for your site but look at ones that have built in fraud protection or offline processing so you can manually verify the payment/payer before releasing funds to the charity.
Also check Stripe - easy to integrate and generates lots of buzz recently
I love stripe.com . Takes a bit of programming savvy to implement (much harder than what they make out to be at the site), but, once done - it's awesome. Same rates as paypal.
Stripe is only any use if you're US based, they don't operate with any other countries.
You should use Moneybooker or Alertpay for you payment process.
Pay pal is definitely a safe mode of payment, and option A is better as per it is doing of a cause that is better.

Superman The Movie Is 35 Years Old [VIDEO]
Before the power went out at my apartment the first time Friday night, I happened upon one of my favorite movies, the original Superman. Yes, this blockbuster was released December 10th, 1978, almost 35 years ago. If you haven't seen the new Superman saga Man of Steel, you may want to revisit this classic.

White Gold Mother's Love Earring
I love and apreciate the unusual shape of this heart earring. At closer look, one can see the bond of love between a mother and her child. What a precious silhouette against the ear. Although the picture appears gold, these lovely earrings are in fact 14K WHITE GOLD. A beautiful presentation is made in the black velvet box upon arrival.

How do put my map here?
19th December 2012, 14:44 at 2:44 pm
@geemac maybe i should have made the first part clearer but the track can only be inside the blue bit on this
other than that anything goes
19th December 2012, 17:12 at 5:12 pmParticipant
Oh so close to getting to do a track around my hometown of Hook.
@roblo97 Do we design this based on the actual existing roads? Meaning, do we consider whether roads are wide enough, or just simply go for our favourite shape based on the non-satellite image?
20th December 2012, 11:44 at 11:44 amParticipant
@roblo97 Oh I see!
I'm having a slow day at work, so I'll take some of that action. I've based the track right at the bottom of the allotted area.
20th December 2012, 12:08 at 12:08 pmParticipant
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Here's my 'Someone left the old Hockenheimring in the oven' track! Shame the roads weren't a little more co-operative, but it looks nice and would be high speed.
20th December 2012, 13:23 at 1:23 pmParticipant
Here's mine:
I wanted to include a few sections that I know from driving the area, such as the fast first corner, which is a downhill sweep onto the roundabout, them uphill sweep off it, quickly followed by a hairpin as a 'true' first corner. I originally wanted this slightly further along the road, but had to shorten it to be within the 8km limit. It the drops down again to the roundabout before heading into slightly more residential roads. There's a kink on this straight before a 90 degree left, which leads into a nice downhill run, with a fast left and faster right. The next corner is a little sharper to ensure that every time the circuit encounters a roundabout, they are treated differently. The next straight has a fast sweep in it, and then reaches the very fast, uphill corkscrew. The following corner is double-apex, and the final corners are a slow chicane to break up the long straights either side. The track is very high speed, with 4 straights over 1km in length, but all have bends/kinks to make them more interesting for drivers, and visually for TV viewers. The only real problem is the roads being a bit narrow between the 2nd and 3rd km markers.
20th December 2012, 18:26 at 6:26 pmParticipant
That's mine.
20th December 2012, 19:43 at 7:43 pmParticipant
This is mine.
Around, through and across a lake. It is 5.1271 km km long, hence would do about 60 laps to complete correct race distance. It is also a relatively fast and flowing circuit. The start-finish line is the straight on Albert Street.
