Nybelwyck Hall: A Mansion in Miniature - Hudson River Museum - Glenview
Through January 08, 2013 - Yonkers
Nybelwyck Hall, a dollhouse representing Lilliputian life at its most luxurious, makes its appearance in Glenview, the Museum's 1897 river home. The 24-room, granite-and-mortar Glenview, and Nybelwyck, the 24-room dollhouse, share architectural features - a Great Hall and a double staircase that curves from the top floor down to the Hall. Nybelwyck's central facade is loosely based on the Hudson River estate, Staatsburg, the Ogden Mills House. The orange-and-green colors on its Victorian addition are reminiscent of Wilderstein, in Rhinebeck, the family home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's personal secretary. Dollhouse enthusiast Mark O'Banks created Nybelwyck Hall over the course of a decade and looked to the wisdom of a ouija board to name his creation. The house is furnished with found objects in its 24 rooms, as well as rugs O'Banks designed. Among its 900 objects are minute musical instruments that play, doors with intricate locks that work, and a tiny dollhouse within the dollhouse's nursery.
Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney - Hudson River Museum
Through January 13, 2013 - Yonkers
In 100 books, Jerry Pinkney has turned his artist's eye and hand to the story - a classic, a folktale, a fable - and readers all over the world saw something new, something they wanted to read and to remember. Pinkney is the master of the American picture book. More than 120 watercolor illustrations by the artist, who lives in Westchester, will be on view in the first major overview of his career as a designer and illustrator in "Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney." The exhibition follows his 2010 award of the Randolph Caldecott Medal for "The Lion and the Mouse." The Hudson River Museum is the only New York showing for this exhibition on national tour, organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Pinkney has found it interesting to trace how the chapters of his life have knitted themselves into his art, touching on the cultural themes of the African-American experience. He uncovers, again and again, the energy in a small moment that surprisingly can change a life or turn an event in history. Most recently in his almost wordless adaptation of the Aesop fable, "The Lion and The Mouse," two creatures on a faraway African plain choose not the hard chase and bloody battle but, instead, exchange kindnesses. Fascinated with wildlife, Pinkney, in many books including "The Brer Rabbit" in "The Last Tales of Uncle Remus" shows us the human qualities of an animal as he shows us the animal in its natural setting. Pinkney, Philadelphia born and bred, and now a long-time New Yorker, has illustrated children's books since 1964, but it was not an easy path. Blacks were not expected to be able to forge careers in the art field. Trained as a commercial artist at a vocational school, he persisted and won a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art where his work took on the shading and detail for which he is now renowned, and he where he began to use color to convey mood and emotion. He has most often worked on children's books that celebrate multiculturalism and African-American heritage, as he took on the task of reshaping the perceptions of the stereotypes of blacks. He designed the first nine stamps of the US Postal Service's Black Heritage series. Art critics will look at the color of Pinkney's illustrations, the scarlet curve of Little Red Riding Hood's cloak, the golden blade of grass on the Serengeti plane. Sociologists will look at Pinkney the little boy, who without a visit to a museum or an art class, drew at home on the back of wallpaper samples. What the viewer will see though, in "The Art of Jerry Pinkney" is his wish: "It has always been my intent for my work to continue to breathe after publication. My hope is that (museum visitors) will believe that Jerry Pinkney cares deeply for people, making art, and visual storytelling." The exhibition includes a 96-page illustrated catalog that provides new scholarship into Pinkney's work in essays by the exhibition's co-curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, Dr. Gerald L. Early, and others. On view through January 13, 2013.

Through January 20, 2013 - Katonah
This unique interactive exhibition looks at the imaginative work of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Blue Sky Studios, a leader in the animation industry for over 20 years. Creator of such blockbuster films as the "Ice Age" series, "Robots," and "Rio," the studio prides itself on technical innovation, while retaining a strong narrative heart. '"Ice Age" to the Digital Age' will guide visitors through Blue Sky's entire process of creating computer-animated films: from initial concepts, storyboards, character design, background art, and three-dimensional modeling, to the highly technical work of animation, rigging, materials, lighting, special effects, and sound. In addition to final movie clips, the exhibition will feature rarely-seen original concept drawings, sculptural models, props, and digital stills. Interactive stations will allow visitors to sketch a scene or manipulate computer-generated images to better understand the innovative technology that brings the films to life. Katonah resident Chris Wedge, a co-founder of Blue Sky in 1987, believes that the secret to the studio's success is in its inventive process. In his view, the art challenges technology and technology inspires the art. The Museum will be turning all the galleries, including the Learning Center, over to this exhibit. There will be gallery talks with Blue Sky co-founder Chris Wedge and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, as well as a calendar of programming in partnership with the Jacob Burns Film Center.

SCHOOLS across Worcestershire are being handed an extra £1.8 million from the Government.
Your Worcester News can reveal how the county is one of the country's big winners from a new £40 million bonanza designed to help the worst-funded education authorities.
Back in March schools minister David Laws unveiled a £350 million package to ease disquiet around unfairness in the funding system, of which Worcestershire was promised £4.9 million.
Mr Laws has now revealed that the Coalition's fund is being increased to £390 million, with the county's award rising 32 per cent to £6.7 million.
The money, which is being sent to Worcestershire County Council in April 2015, comes after years of campaigning from parents, schools and MPs, who set a lobbying group called the f40.
It means Worcestershire's total school funding from 2015 will be just over £298 million, around £100 extra for each pupil because of the £6.7 million lift.
For decades Worcestershire has languished near the bottom of the country's school funding league table and stands 145th out of 151.
Worcester MP Robin Walker said: "This is very reassuring news, especially as it comes just after we've got a new education secretary.
"I would have been surprised if the policy was changed as Nicky Morgan's constituency (the new education secretary) is in Leicestershire, which is part of the f40 group and rock bottom in terms of funding.
"This shows we were entirely right to keep on making a fuss about it, I wrote to David Laws and have continued to ask questions.
"I recognise this isn't the whole solution, heads will always want more and I agree with them on that, but it's another notch forward."
All but six areas outside the f40 campaign group, the 40 worst funded education authorities, will not get any extra cash, with the £350 million aimed at boosting only those at the end of the food chain.
Of the 46 counties to secure extra amounts Worcestershire was joint 17th.
Mr Laws said: "This £390 million boost - £40 million more than was announced in March - is the biggest step toward fairer schools funding in a decade, and will go a long way to removing the historic unfairness of the funding system."
The £6.7 million will be put through an in-house funding formula at County Hall and handed out to secondaries and primaries.
At the moment pupils in Worcestershire get an average of £5,100 per head, £1,333 below those in Birmingham.
Worcestershire has 197 maintained schools and 43 academies.

TWO men have been arrested today on suspicion of human trafficking offences in Swindon.
The men, both from Lithuania, were arrested following three raids at separate locations in the town earlier today.
As a result of the operation, eight Lithuanian men and women have been identified as potentially being exploited by the men and are now being given the full support of Wiltshire Police and partnership agencies.
Detective Sergeant Rob Findlay of the Human Exploitation Team at Wiltshire Police said: "These raids should act as a stark warning to anyone involved in the illegal trade of human trafficking that the net is closing.
"Wiltshire Police will robustly investigate any incident of possible trafficking and bring those responsible to face justice.
"Human trafficking and sexual exploitation are abhorrent crimes which see people being used as commodities – traded between others, usually for financial gain.
"The victims, who are now in our care following these raids, will now be given the full support from Wiltshire Police and our partnership agencies.
"Community-based intelligence proves crucial in investigations such as this and I would always urge anyone with information on something they think is suspicious to report it to Wiltshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously."
The Salvation Army confirmed that all victims have been safely delivered into protective care.
Major Anne Read, The Salvation Army's Anti-Trafficking Response Co-ordinator, said: "The Salvation Army is working with Wiltshire Police to rescue and support potential victims of trafficking.
"It is vital that victims of trafficking receive immediate access to specialised support. Our team has been working to assess the needs of the victims and ensure that they have access to accommodation and support at safe houses if needed.
"The Salvation Army operates a Government contract to provide vital help and support to adult victims of this pitiless exploitation which gives them the very best chance to try and recover through the comprehensive specialised services we can offer working with our partners.
"The safety of victims and support for the Police in successfully prosecuting the perpetrators of this horrific crime are our key priorities. It is therefore not appropriate at this stage to disclose any further details about the victims or the nature of this crime."
For more information on human trafficking and the laws around it, contact the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) on www.soca.gov.uk.

Clinique Deep Cleansing Emergency Mask Reviews
MaskI wish they hadn't discontinued this. It was a classic . — 4 years, 7 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
You have to try it!I have been using this mask for a long time. For me, it is a little on the pricey side, but so worth it. It lasts a long time and is great for skin under stress - blackheads, whiteheads, breakouts, acne, oil, large pores, etc. It tingles a little when you apply, but leaves skin so smooth and soft. It has not eliminated my blackheads, but it does keep them at bay. — 7 years, 5 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

Does the job.Don't over use this mask or you can cause oilier skin. easy on a little less easier off. Refreshes and tones the skin. Don't smile while wearing, it feels like your face will crack!! — 9 years, 2 months agothedragonslady | 483 reviews

dries skinthe mask doesn't provide enough moisture to my face. not good for hydration — 5 years, 1 month agospringsblue | 181 reviews
A weekly must!For $20, this--at first glance--seems pricey. But once you realize you only need about a nickel sized amount to cover your entire face, it is worth every dollar.

ThisI have been using this product for only a couple of days but so far, I really like it. My skin has been acting up lately so one day while strolling the counter, I saw this and decided I'd try it. What I love about it so far is that it is extremely effective at bringing swollen, stubborn pimples that don't want to pop to their knees. I had a doozy on my forehead that was just a lump taunting me wit...read moreh its unwillingness to come to the surface. I put this stuff on over the course of a day, rinsing and reapplying, and not long after I was finally able to get the stubborn lump to succumb to the pressure of my fingertips. TMI, but what a mess. Anyway, I like this mask because it makes me victorious over the most stubborn blemishes and doesn't reek of sulfur/eggs/farts like my DDF mask did (that one made me skin stink ALL day even after washing, horrible). It is also nowhere near as expensive as the DDF mask and the packaging is so much better since the DDF tub is constantly drying up. This mask also really dries up any oil and moisture which is sort of painful for a dry skinned girl like me but the results of having one less pimple to fight with make it totally worth it. Overall, recommended! I left this on a pimple too long a couple days ago and the entire area the layer was on became red, dry, patchy and even elevated - like a welt. The pores on my cheek also expanded to the largest I've seen it. I'm treating it and I'm sure it'll clear up but go easy on this one! This was one of those times where longer didn't = better. Whoops! continued >> — 4 years, 1 month agomelissuhh | 52 reviews
Love this mask!!!!This is my all time favorite mask. I use it once a week and love how revitalized my skin feels after. It takes such a small amount that it will last forever. Seriously, I've had my tube for more than a year — 3 years, 7 months agoqueenb82 | 53 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
FORMER Lord Wandsworth College pupil Jonny Wilkinson has announced that he is to retire at the end of the season.
However, the 34-year-old plans to go out on a high, by helping club side Toulon to win the Heineken Cup and French Top 14 final in his last two games.
"It goes without saying that I have an enormous number of people to thank for their support from all around the world, but especially here in France and in England," Wilkinson said. "I sincerely thank you for everything you have given me and for making these last 17 years something I will never forget.
"Now, I'd like to focus all my energy on the team and the final two games of my career."
Wilkinson made 91 appearances for England and kicked the drop-goal that won the 2003 World Cup. He is one of just five men to have scored more than 1,000 points in international rugby, with his total of 1,246 second only to Dan Carter on the all-time list.
He began his club career at Newcastle Falcons, before signing for French side Toulon in 2009. Last year, he helped them to win the Heineken Cup, kicking 11 points in the final, and was voted European Player of the Year.
Wilkinson will be hoping to help Toulon retain the Heineken Cup on Saturday, when they take on Saracens in the final at the Millennium Stadium, in Cardiff (kick-off 5pm).
That will be his final game in Britain, with his last match taking place across the English Channel next weekend, when Toulon take on Castres in the French Top 14 final.

I want to put two adsense boxes before my content in such a way that both boxes appear together. Like on this page.
They haven't done that very well. Firstly, they use outdated code to make that happen, and I don't see the point, as it just repeats the ads!
Anyhow, if you really want to do this, create two divs, give them a width a bit less than half the width of the content area, set them to float: left; or display: inline-block; and then paste the Google code inside each of them.
My site is on wordpress and I'm using following code to wrap my content around adsense box.
 code
I put two divs, one with left and other with right but not getting what I want. Can you guide a little bit more?
It's better to put the styles in your external style sheet, but I'll put them inline here for demo porpoises. You need to give the boxes a width or floating won't do anything. Ideally, we should see your page (or some demo code) to know what circumstances you're working within (fixed width wrapper? etc.), but here's a possible way to go:

 code

If your content area has a fixed width, you could change the width and margins to pixels, but mixing pixels and % is a bit hit and miss.
My site is ceramic tiles.
OK, try changing the styles on that container div to:
<div style="float: left; margin: 3px 10px 3px 3px; width: 330px;">

and then duplicate it so that there are two.
You are great mate!Thank you very much. its done finally. How do you know so much about CSS and html. Have you learned it specially or just on interent?
Just from books, hanging around here, and practice. But I don't know much really ...
Glad to help, anyhow.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio gasoline prices continue their climb toward the $4 mark.
The average price for regular gas is $3.74 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's up 8 cents from a week ago, when the average was $3.66.
At this time last year, drivers were paying about $3.47 as prices were soaring toward record highs. Some analysts expect new records will be set this year as prices continue to increase.
The dispute over Iran's nuclear program has kept crude oil prices high recently amid fears that it could lead to a supply interruption. Signs of gradual improvement in the U.S. economy lately also have contributed to higher prices.

Former St Mary's University student Christian Wade will use his England experience to break the shackles in the Premiership.
The 21-year-old, who has clocked 11.00 seconds over 100m in the past, was at the start of a three-year sports science and psychology degree in Twickenham when he made his England Sevens debut in December 2009.
Fast forward to 2012 and Wade, who scored a brace for London Wasps against Quins at Twickenham stadium on this season's opening day, toured South Africa with the national team this summer having marked his senior debut with a try against the Barbarians in May.
The former London Scottish loan star, who bagged two tries in Wasps' 29-19 win over London Welsh on Sunday, is a marked man in the Premiership, but the speed demon reckoned he has learned the skills that can keep him one step ahead of the competition.
"I think this year people are obviously more aware of me as a player and what I can do," he said.
"I have had to expand my game because I definitely feel as if there has been more attention paid to me from
"If I am being marked out of the game there is obviously going to be space elsewhere so it is about me being smart enough to pop up in other areas where I can then use my skills to make line breaks or as a decoy.
"Being involved in the whole England set up opened my eyes to where I was as a player.
"It gave me the chance to see up close how top players from across the country operate and conduct themselves and it was just a great experience for me to bring into my own development."

Applying a Function to Each Line of a String
From ErlangCentral Wiki
You'd like to apply a function to a sequence of logical lines within a string, without regard for the sort of newlines (Unix, Mac, DOS) involved.
You can neatly divide the string into lines with string:tokens/2, provided that you don't mind excluding blank lines:
1> string:tokens("hello\r\nthere\r\nmon\r\rfrere\n","\r\n"). ["hello","there","mon","frere"]
If you must also have the blank lines, or if you've complex ideas about 'lines', you can use regexp:split/2:
2> regexp:split("hello\r\nthere\r\nmon\r\rfrere\n","\r\n"). {ok,["hello","there","mon\r\rfrere\n"]} 3> regexp:split("hello\r\nthere\r\nmon\r\rfrere\n","[\r\n]+"). {ok,["hello","there","mon","frere",[]]} 4> regexp:split("hello\r\nthere\r\nmon\r\rfrere\nfoo","[\r\n]+"). {ok,["hello","there","mon","frere","foo"]}
You can also use foreach_line/2 and mapeach_line/2; these exclude blank lines, and have the same line semantics as the first string:tokens/2 solution, but you can easily adapt these. These also return the remainder of the string and the {remainder(),mapped_results()}, respectively.
foreach_line(F,L) -> lists:reverse(lists:foldl(fun (C,[]) when C == $\r orelse C == $\n -> []; (C,S) when C == $\r orelse C == $\n -> F(lists:reverse(S)), []; (C,S) -> [C|S] end, [], L)). mapeach_line(F,L) -> {R,M} = lists:foldl(fun (C,R={[],_}) when C == $\r orelse C == $\n -> R; (C,{S,M}) when C == $\r orelse C == $\n -> {[],[F(lists:reverse(S))|M]}; (C,{S,M}) -> {[C|S],M} end, {[],[]}, L), {lists:reverse(R), lists:reverse(M)}. 5> foreach_line(fun(S) -> io:fwrite("l; ~s\n",[S]) end,"hello\r\nthere\rmon\n\rfrere\n\nfoo"). l; hello l; there l; mon l; frere "foo" 6> mapeach_line(fun lists:reverse/1, "hello\r\nthere\rmon\n\rfrere\n\nfoo"). {"foo",["olleh","ereht","nom","ererf"]}

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/2/2013 (1642 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Your social skills can open doors or slam them shut. Whether dealing with customers, co-workers or your boss, the words you choose and how you frame your message influences the way people perceive you. The difference between being a problem-solver or a problem is as simple as the words you choose. It is not what you intended those words to mean, it really is the words you choose.
Proper word usage can be a powerful tool that shapes how people feel about you. Using the correct words also provides the opportunity for people to want to listen to you and hear what you have to say. Too often business communication is filled with extra words that just fill space, mix up the intended message or are negative and unproductive.
In an informal poll of communication experts and career advisers, these 10 phrases were voted the worst things to say in your career:
"That's not my job." This statement is about what you can't do as opposed to what you can do. Making this statement implies you are not a team player and speaks volume about your inflexibility and willingness to learn new skills. Next time try "That's not my area of expertise. I know someone who can get that done for you."
"I think . . ." This statement is right up there with "I believe" and "I feel." These phrases discount whatever you say next and your opinion may not be viewed as valid. A better approach is often to simply drop the "I think" and finish your thought. "This is the best approach" is a much stronger statement than "I think this is the best approach." A similar approach can be taken with words such as "I want" or I'd like to." Again drop these filler words and make your statement, turning "I'd like to thank you" into "Thank you."
"I don't know." While this may be an honest answer, you're taking the easy way out. Use of this phrase can portray you as lazy and unwilling to help out. Next time, say "Good question. Let me find out the answer" so you are seen as a problem solver.
"I can't." Again this implies your unwillingness to try something new, be helpful or even part of the solution. Next time, if you are asked to attend a meeting where you have a conflict, instead of saying "I can't," say "I currently have a conflict at that time; however, I will do my best to move that appointment."
"But . . ." The use of this completely wipes out anything you've said just prior to this. For example "Your new suit looks great, but you may want to change the tie colour."
We are conditioned to always listen for the negative information. As a manager you've probably been coached at some point to use the "sandwich approach" when giving feedback -- that's say something nice, then something negative, following by something nice. This approach can soften the negative and the last thing heard is a positive. Sometimes "but" is easily replaced with "and," which softens the message as well.
"That's not a good idea." If you are looking to shut down a discussion, just say these words. People usually do not respond well to this phrase. Next time you hear something that you believe to be a poor idea, simple ask "How would that work?"
"I'll try." Trying implies you won't necessary get the task accomplished. You are setting the stage to imply that you may fail. So the next time your boss asks you to get some work done before the end of the day and you respond "I'll try," don't be surprised when you are passed over for that next big assignment. A better approach would be to commit to something you can achieve such as "I'll have it on your desk by 5 p.m."
"It wasn't my fault." This is a diversion tactic sure to backfire on you. If someone asks what happened and you respond with this phrase, or even worse suggest who made the error or blame it on a predecessor, you will not be setting yourself in the best possible light. What your manager wants to hear is "I'll investigate what happened and get back to you" or "I can see what happened here and here is what I'll put in place to be sure it doesn't happen again."
"I guess." This phrase puts you on the fence. It's a non-committal method used that reflects a lack of confidence. So the next time you are asked "Do you think this will work?" instead of saying "I guess," say "It looks like it will work. How will this impact our other project?" This way you are seen as positive, yet you have expressed your concern that can then be addressed by the person delivering the question.
"That's impossible." You may as well pack up your desk and search for a different career if you make this statement. This shows that you are not willing to try and shuts down all productive discussions. A more positive way to express your concerns would be to say "Interesting. Let's look at some other methods and see if there are some alternatives to consider."
If your boss, mentor, career coach or other person you respect has ever told you that you need to improve your communication skills, heed their advice and make it your priority.
Excellent communication skills will appear on almost every job posting and even if it is not, it is often implied.
This could be the one skill that holds you back from attaining that promotion or securing that new job. Every hiring manager or recruiter is listening carefully to how you speak.

"The invitations were exactly as displayed on the website. The paper and printing quality was excellent. I highly recommend this product and would be happy to place another order with Wedding Paper Divas."
"We used this for our upcoming engagement party and they are super cute! They are nice, small, and we have gotten a lot of compliments. The only thing I did not like was that the font was automatically lowercase. Luckily we were able to edit and change that. Great product!"
"We chose this design for our son and finance's engagement announcement/party because it was modern and seemed to relay our family's feelings very well. Pearlized paper adds a nice look to the paper. Very clean design"

We had originally bought some fajitas Sunday to cook up Monday night, but life got in the way again as we had a bunch of things to take care of and my stomach wasn't really feeling all that well. Didn't think fajitas were going to help it, so we put it off till last night. Yeah.....I said we bought fajitas. Once you get south of Dallas, there's a grocery chain called HEB that pretty much rules Texas. They have some really good prices and their pre-marinated fajitas are pretty darn good. I know of plenty Mexican families from back when I lived in Corpus who quit making their own fajitas when HEB came out with these years and years ago. Well Sunday, we were in Central Market (a gourmet grocery store in the DFW area owned by HEB) as Mrs. G was looking for some Hatch chilis and we picked up some of their pre-marinated fajita chicken thighs. The plan was to throw them on the Egg direct at 450 with some mesquite chips (nothing says South Texas like Mesquite), but I realized we were out, so I used some Hickory instead.
Gave 'em a few minutes and flipped
Served 'em up on some Hatch chile tortillas along with onions, red bell peppers,some Monterrey Jack cheese and a dab of sour cream.
Simple, easy and quick weeknight meal. For some reason I can't for the life of me get a good plated up pic of fajitas or tacos. Not sure what my deal is. I realized this one needed a bit of green to it (and I asked Mrs. G to chop up some cilantro while I was grilling, but that didn't happen. ). Oh well, still tasted good and that 's all that matters.

Quit says the Government's proposal to introduce smokefree dining makes good sense from a health and legal perspective.
Executive Director Todd Harper says restaurants are not being singled out as the proposed restrictions cover dining areas in pubs and clubs, as well as restaurants.
'The health effects of passive smoking are irrefutable, and there has been successful litigation on passive smoking in Australia. We've seen legal action in Victoria this year by an asthmatic diner who claims to have suffered as a result of being exposed to passive smoking in a restaurant.'
Mr Harper said the smokefree dining measures would also protect hospitality staff from the effects of passive smoking.
'No-one deserves to be forced to work in smoky workplaces, yet that is exactly what confronts most hospitality workers in Victoria.'
'If no action is taken we can expect to see further legal action from staff and diners who suffer the ill effects of passive smoking.'
'I'd urge restaurateurs to consider the independent research that shows strong public support for smokefree dining.'
'Research conducted by the Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer shows two thirds of restaurant patrons always request smokefree dining and over 75% prefer to eat in a smokefree area.'
'The issue is not whether people smoke, it's where they smoke. In fact, a significant proportion of smokers say they prefer to dine in a smokefree atmosphere.'
'The Government's proposed reforms are a breath of fresh air for Victorian diners, particularly people with health conditions such as asthma and heart disease who are very sensitive to smoky environments.'
'Many people who don't suffer from asthma or other medical conditions prefer to enjoy their meal without having to contend with the unpleasant effects of cigarette smoke.'
'I understand restaurateurs' concerns to have bans go further, but this is an important first step.'
'We'd urge the restaurant industry to distance themselves from Philip Morris who are only using them as a component of their strategy to protect their interests.'
'Restaurateurs should be listening to their patrons, not a multinational tobacco company who have their own profits at heart, not the interests of restaurants, or the health of diners and restaurant staff.'
'Philip Morris are pushing their own agenda, and their own internal documents show that influencing the restaurant industry on the issue of smoking bans has been a part of their corporate affairs plans for some years.'

Software defined networking (SDN) moves networking from hardware to the software plane, under management of a software controller. Benefits include automating and easing network administration duties and improving application performance. As a new technology, SDN is subject to vulnerabilities.
But with SDN, the industry knows certain vulnerabilities are native to the approach. First, according to Chris Weber, Co-Founder, Casaba, centralizing control in an SDN controller removes protective, layered hardware boundaries such as firewalls. Second, according to Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald, by decoupling the control plane from the data plane, SDN introduces new surface areas such as the network controller, its protocols and APIs to attack.

cervantesmx - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkNot expected at all. Reply
PeteH - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkI disagree, I think everyone knew this was coming, just not exactly when.
I think it's being handled as well as any transition of this magnitude could: Jobs as CEO to Jobs as CEO on leave with Tim Cook as acting CEO, to Tim Cook as CEO with Jobs as Chairman of the Board. Since it's gradual it's less jarring than if Jobs had just resigned entirely in January. Reply
Paulman - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkYeah, I think you're right - it's been a pretty graduated transition, all things considered.
P.S. Btw, I think the op (cervantesmx) was being ironic :P Reply
web2dot0 - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkNo really? Like everyone gonna die sometime .....
There's no logic to your thinking. He was on medical leave. You know, like he's sick. Jobs' leaving the company is probably a signal that he's gravelly ill. No one expected to be this quick though.
Anyone can say what you said, the question is whether anyone anticipated this coming so soon. The answer is NO. If you knew, you could of made some serious $$$.
Don't be a smartass. Reply
Spivonious - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkI agree. This means that Jobs' cancer has returned and isn't responding to treatment. As much as I hate the Apple sheep, I hate cancer more. Reply
GTVic - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkLike, don't say like so much. Reply
Ryan Smith - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkEven though he's just retiring it's still a sad day for the industry. Apple has its detractors (and for good reason), but he's one of the very few CEOs to "get it" when it comes to running a tech company. Hopefully the company can continue building good products without his weirdly impeccable taste. Reply
gramboh - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkAgree with you here, even if you were not a fan of Apple's products, business practices or Jobs himself, you have to admire what he has done with the company, his vision and execution are amazing. Truly a sad day for the tech and business worlds, and this generation. Reply
prdola0 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkI disagree. Switching an entire generation's focus to "looks" instead of "contents" is nothing to admire. He built his whole success these days on the classic american highschools' "popular" thinking. What do you think happens to a generation of americans and europeans, that spends half or more of it's productive time on "looks"? Not all of them do, but it's such a huge majority, that we will just decline and other cultures will rise. And a huge part of this is Jobs' responsibility. If you haven't missed the riots in London, where the poor kinds were just stealing iPhones, iPads and other status items and toys that the rich have, you can see where this is going.
I am glad that he goes. But he should have never returned in the first place. Reply
tim851 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkYeah, because before Apple, nobody ever cared about product asthetics at all. Before 1997 and that iMac culture shock, cars weren't build to be sexy, clothes weren't designed to be fashionable and nobody judged people on their looks... *rolleyes*
If anything, Apple/Jobs have helped bring PCs out of the nerd corner. I know, Linux geeks like you felt so special and exclusive back then. Your own brand of snobbiness, ironically. Reply
prdola0 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkIt's not like it wasn't present before. Nobody denies that. It just grew to a massive scale now, and by a huge part thanks to Jobs. I don't really care about Linux or Windows or anything like that. Some of the Apple toys even have good content. However it's only a few of them. And content is not the reason why 99% of Apple customers buy it.
Jobs is guilty of one of the biggest cultural taste shifts in the last 20 years. And it was not a good one. Reply
tim851 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkDo you have any "proof", that things were less superficial in 1996?
What is a "cultural taste shift" and how has Apple facilitated that thing?
If you're mad at the world for being superficial, you're a couple of thousand years late. Reply
mudgiestylie - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkOK I've been using macs and pcs since i was a little kid. Always found macs to be easier to use than windows boxes, even when macs came in beige. Apple recognized early on that computers were becoming essential parts of our everyday lives, just like the automobile had become decades before. You are saying function is following form with apple and their adherents. I'm saying that everyone before apple was completely forgetting about form, and that form sometimes is part of the function. If this wasn't the case we'd still be using DOS-like command prompts. Another example would be the curves and contours on cars. Yes they look better that way, but it also makes them more aerodynamic. Apple products aren't all about aesthetics, they are about usability... but whats the harm in looking good as well? Reply
chemist1 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkI read a lot of comments like the one above -- declaring that what sells Apple products is their superficial looks -- and can only assume they come from someone who does not have a lot of expertise using Apple computers (i..e, the Apple OS) for serious, complex productivity tasks. And it's the Apple OS which is the core of what makes Apple, Apple -- the iPod, iPhone, etc. came later, and built on the design philosophy of their OS's. I have years of experience with various incarnations of both Windows and OSX (and DOS, and one of Apple's older OS's, as well as various flavors of Linux). And I've found that, for serious productivity with office-type tasks, OSX is far superior to Windows. I.e., it's not about form, it's about function. And that's what really sells Apple. For instance, many of you likely don't know this, but one of the professional groups where Apple has gained a significant following is scientists, especially physical scientists (chemists and physicists). In my chemistry dept., Apple is more popular than Windows. And I'd estimate that, at the last APS (American Physical Society) meeting I attended, the breakdown among laptops carried by participants was at least 1/3 Apple (far more than in the general population). As to why Apple is popular among scientists, we can hardly be accused of excessive style-following (just look at how many of us dress!). Of course, we like shiny toys as much as anyone else, but the bottom line for us is we care less about computers than in using them to get our jobs done. And many, including myself, find OSX a far more powerful tool for that purpose than Windows.
Let me be specific:
In writing my thesis, I needed to integrate text, tables, equations, vectorized graphics, bibliographic cross-references, etc., into a very large LaTeX document. To do this as efficiently as possible, I needed to be able to rapidly access all needed material as I was typing. This meant having perhaps a dozen windows open, simultaneously, in each of the following programs: Adobe Illustrator, Word, Entourage (my email client), Mathematica, Adobe Acrobat, Excel, and Safari (my browser) -- plus a few Windows in each of LaTex, BibDesk, and XCode. This meant nearly 100 windows total. Ever tried to easily keep track of, and move among, 100 different windows in Windows? In OSX, however, it was easy: Using OSX's Spaces, I created four virtual desktops: I. Writing Desktop ( LaTeX, BibDesk, and Word); II. Graphics Desktop (Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat); III. Calculation/Spreadsheet Desktop (Mathematica and Excel); and IV. Internet and Email Search Desktop (Safari and Entourage). Each virtual desktop contained all windows for its assigned programs, and no others. Then within each virtual desktop, I used OSX's Expose to explode all windows for a given program, or all windows in the virtual Desktop. Thus whenever I needed to, say, modify a vectorized graphic in my document, I'd just toggle from Desktop I to Desktop II, click the middle button on my five button mouse (yes, you don't have to use the silly Apple 1-button mouse!) to pull up a dock of the (two) programs open in Desktop II, select Illustrator, move my mouse to the upper right corner to explode all dozen or so graphics I had open in Illustrator, click on the one I wanted, modify and save it, then switch back to Desktop I. There's simply no way to be able to do this with such ease and power in Windows. Thus what Apple supplies, fundamentally, is not style but power -- the power to get things done.
[There are other reasons physical scientists like OSX that I've not touched upon --- e.g., the fact that it's Unix-based means it offers a native *nix interface, which is very nice for writing code -- but the one I mentioned above is the principal one: it's the ease and elegance of its interface. Many misinterpret "ease" as meaning "for dummies." But this is just ignorance; the harder and more complex your task, the more essential it is to find a system that allows you to operate with ease and efficiency.] Reply
prdola0 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - link"In my chemistry dept., Apple is more POPULAR than Windows."
That's about it. You just let out the real reason. In my entire college "career" I've never used a single Apple scientific product or a product with support for scientific applications. I have used Matlab, Simulink, CAD systems and various other modeling tools. All of them high-value scientific tools. Not a single of them ran on an Apple machine. I have also used many expansion cards for mechanical testing and measuring. None of them ran on an Apple machine. I have worked with and programmed a couple of PLC machines. These were connected to Unix or Windows machines and tools for their programming were used also on Unix or Windows machines.
You sir, are entirely incorrect.
"And I've found that, for serious productivity with office-type tasks, OSX is far superior to Windows."
You have found that. Right. And you have found that for all of us and we must accept it? No. Keep your fallacy for others please. From my experience, people who say that OSX is more productive than Windows just didn't take time to even try it. They say "how do you this thing that easy on Windows?" I show them how to do it. They respond: "Um, maybe. You got lucky. But what about this?" I show it to them again.
Just because you did not know how to do something effectively on Windows, it does not mean that it's not possible. And it's better than that. It can be much better on Windows.
As Nick Farrell @ Fudzilla cleverly wrote: "He built a religion where happiness was found by spending huge amounts of dosh on gadgets and attacking other people who did not support your decision." So just because you think, that OSX is better, it doesn't mean, that it really is. Reply
chemist1 - Friday, August 26, 2011 - linkYour reply makes no sense, seems emotional and angry, misrepresents what I said and, most importantly, does not address the substance of my post.
In your second paragraph, you mention that you used scientific tools, like Matlab, and "not a single one of them ran on an Apple machine." But Matlab certainly does run on Apple. So I assume what you meant to say is that you yourself never used them on an Apple. But how is this relevant to the subject at hand? After all, I said in my post that, in my dept., more scientists use Apple than Windows. Implicit in this is that some do use Windows. Hence the fact that you used Windows for scientific work is not in any way inconsistent with what I said. My point wasn't that people don't use Windows for science. Rather, it was to respond to your blanket (and, I would say, demeaning) message that Apple (and by extension its users) are more about form than substance.
In your fifth paragraph, you shrilly take me to task for insisting I'm saying all must accept Apple's superiority, which is simply bizarre. Again, I'm simply countering your strange blanket statement that because of Apple, and its alleged focus away from substance "that we will just decline and other cultures will rise." To do so, I made a detailed argument for how Apple is superior with respect to substance. What's wrong with construction such an argument, particularly given the detail with which I supported it? It's far less presumptuous than the argument you made, about Apple and the decline of civilization!
But it gets even better. Also in your fifth paragraph, you declaim: " From my experience, people who say that OSX is more productive than Windows just didn't take time to even try it." Yet in your second paragraph, you say that you never used Apple products for science!! By comparison, I was explicit in saying that I had made extensive use of both Apple and Windows products. So you are taking me to task for a certain behavior (criticizing a system without having experience on it) and yet (this is delicious), not only am I not guilty of this behavior but, in addition, you are guilty of it!
Indeed, several months ago I consulted with two IT professionals, both of whom are a heavy Windows users, about this very issue. And I asked them: Can you do this [what I described in my first post, about how I wrote my thesis] natively in Windows? And both responded "no" -- though one did opine there may be some aftermarket programs that could offer some of these features.
Finally, and this is the crux of things, you write: "Just because you did not know how to do something effectively on Windows, it does not mean that it's not possible. And it's better than that. It can be much better on Windows." Another non-substantive statement, particularly in the context of the issue under discussion. If you really wanted to have a substantive discussion, you would instead either describe how you can do what I did, in writing my thesis, within Windows -- or acknowledge that you can't. Reply
chemist1 - Friday, August 26, 2011 - linkJust to clarify one of my statements -- when I wrote:
"In your fifth paragraph, you shrilly take me to task for insisting I'm saying all must accept Apple's superiority, which is simply bizarre. "
---what I meant by "bizarre" is the accusation that I insisted all must accept Apple's superiority. I never said or implied that. What I did say was the following: "I've found that, for serious productivity with office-type tasks, OSX is far superior to Windows." Note that I explicitly began that sentence by saying this was *my* finding. I then went on to support that finding in detail, describing what I was able to do with OSX in writing my thesis. That is the way a rational interchange of ideas is supposed to work, is it not? If you disagree, then explain, in detail, how it could have been done better in Windows. Reply
chemist1 - Friday, August 26, 2011 - link...i.e., please explain how, in Windows, one could keep track of, and navigate among, ~100 windows that were opened simultaneously (across several different programs), more easily and intuitively than one can do it (as I explained) in OSX. Reply
chemist1 - Friday, August 26, 2011 - link[sorry about all the replies-to-replies, but I wanted to keep this chronological]. One last thing (I hope!) -- a general idea: When you're operating within a given file of a given program (e.g., Word, Mathematica, Adobe Illustrator, whatever), how easy and intuitive things are is principally determined by the design of the program, not the OS -- i.e., you're in the program's world (I say "principally" rather than "entirely" because programs are often OS-influenced). So when do you encounter the OS? Well, it's when you need to navigate between different programs, or between different files of a given program, do file retrieval, etc. I.e., retrieving files and navigating among open program windows is really the *essence* of what an OS does. Hence my example is hardly some strange "edge" case. Rather, it represents a challenging test to determine how powerful, intuitive and intelligent the OS interface is for what is perhaps its most central set of tasks Reply

mpschan - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkIt's one thing to dislike Apple, their products, business decisions, etc. I for one can't stand them and will not buy an Apple product as long as they continue their practices.
However, it's another thing to speak this way of Steve Jobs. He's not a tyrant, he's not evil, he isn't forcing you to do anything.
There are many, many people in this world that deserve our disgust for the humans that they are. But Steve Jobs isn't one of them. He built a great company that sells products that many people want; just maybe not you and me. Reply
cfaalm - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkI agree totally. I'm not an Apple fan either and like a joke at their expense form time to time. But let's preserve good taste here.
Just remember where Apple came from just before they hired him back. You can't deny the man's talent for business. I don't see Steve Ballmer taking MS anywhere right now, though he might have his break with W8 and Mango later still.
Maybe, just maybe, Tim Cook will sail a different course than Steve (after a while) concerning their practices. If not we'll see an obvious nickname here soon ;-) Reply
highlnder69 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkMaybe now that Steve isn't running the company anymore they will try to run a legitimate business. I for one will not miss him and think that he is nothing but a money sucking thief. Their highly acclaimed OS is nothing but customized linux code. At least Microsoft has the ability to write their own OS.
Just not sure why he is still so ill.. Can't he pull some of the magic out of his so called 'Magical' devices to cure himself? Reply

Flamin' Hot Cheetos have ignited a firestorm of controversy. According to ABC News and HuffPo, schools in Illinois, California, and New Mexico have pulled them from lunch menus due to their high-salt, high-fat, and potentially addictive qualities. Manufacturer Frito Lay is careful not to market to kids, but it seems its "not-marketing" is not working: Kids seem to love them. In fact, some kids love them so much that they created a rap to honor the snack:
This fiery snack also has a Facebook page of its own with almost 50,000 followers. WTFood?!
Check out the nutrition label and decide for yourself:
Would you eat (or cook with) this potentially addictive snack?

Pat McFadden has become the latest senior Labour figure to question the party's own proposals for a graduate tax, urging his colleagues instead to back the coalition's plan for further education funding laid out by Lord Browne this week – writes Elizabeth Rigby.
In a shot across the bows of Ed Miliband, his new leader, the Blairite former business minister of state said yesterday that Labour should stop opposing the plans and concentrate on making the Browne proposals more palatable to less affluent pockets of society. Lord Browne's report on higher education, which is likely to be backed by the coalition, has advocated charging more for courses funded through student loans rather than a pure graduate tax.
