I meant using FTP to send files to the PS3 internal HD. Basically can you install the PS3 FTP v0.1 using the iphone psfreedom.
09-12-2010 #143DanyL Guest
Sure you can.
Just download the .pkg, move it to a USB flash drive and install it.
That's it.

Is there any way to manually put a backup loader on your ps3 once its jailbroken? Maybe a backup loader package?

SO has anyone got this to work with a ipod touch 2ng gen yet?

I'm still confused as too why people are desperate to jailbreak the ps3 with an ipod/iphone if the BUM does not work? Or even as too why it doesn't work, isn't the backup manager package the same for all jailbreaking methods?
There is already so much info and different methods, we don't know what's what!
I have an Iphone on 3.0 and all ready to update/jailbreak it to 3.1.2 I get the whole installation process for idroid and most likely will be able to jailbreak, but see no use of going through all that if the BUM wont work. Plus, still debating to update my PS3 as I am still on a older firm that allows other OS's, wouldn't want to loose that option as it seems they are coming with another PSF for older firmwares.
Could someone just answer this: Once the ps3 is jailbroken with an Iphone, you install the BUM from a USB stick through the XMB right? so what does it have to do with the Iphone?
thanks for anyone's time.

In the initial release of our site, we just want users to be able to add items to a Wishlist (and email the Wishlist) but not be able to add items to the Shopping Cart or checkout items. We have installed the Wishlist module in addition to the standard Ubercart modules. When we display the product catalog page both "Add to Cart" and "Add to Wishlist" buttons are displayed. Is there any way to hide just the "Add to Cart" button and not the other?
I have read through the support Forums. I have tried the "Disable Product" and "Members Only" modules without any luck. Any help will be appreciated.

Tell Us About Your Design
The top is constructed of a soft, broadcloth fabric in a shade of army green with a satin floral ribbon running along the neck seam in a shade of light green. Lining the inside of the blouse is a shade of red cotton which also peeks out underneath the bell sleeves. Closing the back of the garment is a blue zipper that starts from the mid lower back to the shoulder blades making it easier to slip on.
The lower half of this garment is made of a light satin, checker pattern in teal, cobalt blue, pink and green. It starts just below the bust and flows to the feet into a bell shape pant. The bells at the bottom have an extra panel stitched in the shape of a triangle for that extra flare. The wideness of the bell is easy flowing and has that fresh summer of love look from the 70s.

I started doing clothes in elementary for barbie dolls and realized I wanted to move to adult clothing. I learned mainly from my grandmother who was an amazing seamstress and taught me a few things before she passed. I went to design school for about three years but was not able to graduate and have been designing clothing since.

The trademark toothy smile said it all when South Sydney record-breaker Nathan Merritt walked into the post-match press conference at Penrith on a wet and windy Friday night.
The 30-year-old winger had been stuck on 144 tries since last September's gut-wrenching preliminary final loss to Manly, needing just one more to usurp Benny Wearing's 81-year-old milestone.
He'd gone close on at least three occasions this year including last week against St George Illawarra where he was denied by the video referee.
But his moment of history finally arrived 15 minutes into the second half of Souths' 18-2 win over Penrith when he latched onto Dylan Walker's pass and scampered his way to the line - just like he has so often in a career that began in 2002.
Merritt announced himself to the NRL by coming off the bench to score a try on his debut in a 25-18 loss to the Warriors and aside from an unhappy two-year sojourn at Cronulla he has been a mainstay of the Rabbitohs through thick and thin ever since.
The reaction of his teammates when he finally crossed the line against the Panthers spoke volumes about Merritt's popularity amongst the playing group, with the usually measured John Sutton's eyes lighting up when asked about his long-time teammate.
"He's a tremendous talent, he's been doing it for years," Sutton said.
"For Nath personally I am very proud of him. He's had to wait a couple of months but he couldn't miss that one. He's been a great player."
"He will score a lot more that is for sure."
Merritt admitted breaking the milestone was beginning to play on his mind and said he'd been guilty of trying too hard to score.
"It was a bit frustrating at times, the harder I tried the less I looked like scoring," he said.
"I just had to wait for a try to come to me. I relaxed and that is what happened.
"I am happy the try is over with now and I hope I can score a few more.
"It was a great buzz, having all the boys jump all over me, we are like brothers and I wouldn't have wanted to do it without any of them there."

THERE may have only been the one fixture in Division Two, but the game between local rivals Trowbridge Town Reserves and Trowbridge Wanderers Reserves was as big as it gets.
With the game scheduled for Woodmarsh it was no surprise that the hosts ground was unplayable, but rather than call the fixture off, the Bees' manager Dave Jenkins secured another pitch at Christie Miller.
His efforts were rewared as Town ground out a 2-1 victory in what were atrocious conditions.
Trowbridge Wanderers went one up on 15 minutes through Steve Jackson, but they fought back and fashioned an equaliser through Brett Partner.
A quick-fire second that came from Dan Barnett put Jenkins side 2-1 ahead and that was how things remained until the final whistle which both teams were glad to hear.

Matthew Trevithick Iran: Imprisonment Described
Published: January 29, 2016
Matthew Trevithick Iran: Imprisonment Described, Matthew Trevithick stepped out of his dorm room in Tehran in December, heading to buy a plane ticket back home to the U.S. Less than an hour later, he found himself in Iran's most notorious prison.
In an exclusive interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Trevithick, 30, described being detained in Evin Prison for 40 days.
"Within an hour of standing on the street, I'm sitting in an interrogation cell in the second floor of a specific building used by the intelligence services in Iran," he told Cooper.
It all began when three people approached him on the street. He said they asked if he was Matthew, when he replied 'yes,' they put him into an unmarked Hyundai Sonata and drove away.
Trevithick, of Hingham, Massachusetts, is one of five U.S. prisoners freed earlier this month, the New York Times reports. Among the freed is Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who was convicted, in a close-door trial, of vaguely defined espionage charges in Iran.
Trevithick said the first thing interrogators asked was if he knew Rezaian.
"I said, ' of course, the whole world knows Jason Rezaian. Everybody knows that name,' " Trevithick recalled. "He said, 'he's never leaving and neither are you.' "
Trevithick would spend 40 days in the prison, 29 of those, he said, in solitary confinement – "They spend approximately 30 days trying to rip your life apart."
Trevithick, a researcher who was in Tehran studying Farsi, said he was charged with trying to overthrow the Iranian government and was accused of having access to millions of dollars and weapons caches that had been planted around the country in preparation for a coup.
He spent nearly a month in a small room – about six-by-seven feet with an about 8 to 12 foot high ceiling – with only a carpet covering the concrete floor.
"This is a place of violence and agony and you can feel the agony and the despair, I mean, it's in the walls," he said, he also recalled seeing dried blood and smashed tiles on the floor of the interrogation rooms. "Unfortunately, two weeks into my experience, in the cell block – in the cell row – just behind mine, I heard the sounds of a man trying to hang himself.
"I later would share a cell with him and he had been in solitary confinement for 13 months and just simply couldn't see any way forward. In a weird way, that made sense to me."
He said the cement walls of his cell contained "painful scratches" to mark how long past prisoners had been there. And in the bathrooms, he said, were "notes written by prisoners, for prisoners."
"They say things like, 'nobody will be here forever, you will not be here forever, think of happy times, think of your family,' " he recalled. "In a weird way you feel this sense of solidarity with everybody who's walked these halls before you. And, I should say, the halls are worn – in terms of trying to describe the place."
Trevithick said he never thought he would be back in the U.S. telling his story.
Until one day when he was "violently" pulled from his cell and taken to the prison's basement, he said. His captors told him to admit to trying to overthrow the government, when he didn't, they threw him against a brick wall before rushing him back to his cell.
They told him to gather his belongings," he said.
"You only collect all your things in Evin if you are leaving or if you're being relocated," he explained.
He was led down a hallway to a pair of doors: on the left, the exit and the right, "deeper into prison and God knows what else," he said.
"Oddly enough, they said turn left."

The Rivanna hosts a number of species of wildlife, from mammals like beaver, otter and mink to birds like heron, osprey and the bald eagle, and, of course, fish, with bass and perch chief among them. Of all the species, the most treasured is the James River spiny mussel. Globally rare and federally endangered, the spiny mussel occurs in the headwater streams of the Rivanna, which is considered one of its best habitats, due to the availability and quality of habitat and presence of all eight of its host fishes. Historically, the lower Rivanna mainstem was the home for the mussel but has been degraded over the past 30 years due to sedimentation and pollution. Other globally rare mussels occur in the mainstem Rivanna, including the Atlantic pigtoe and the green floater.

Review: Summerset Abbey by T J Brown
Publisher: Gallery Books
Released: 2013
Pages: 322
Source: Publisher/egalley
Rating: 5/5
Sir Philip Buxton was a man who believed in change and women's rights. He was a man of reform, and didn't care much for class distinctions. His wife died years ago, and he's been the sole parent to his two daughters, who were always his pride and joy. Prudence Tate, the daughter of their governess has been like a third daughter to him. When their father suddenly dies, Rowena and Victoria are under the guardianship of their uncle until they turn twenty-five or marry. Their Uncle informs Rowena that he intends to sell their house, and have them move in with him. He believes that the girls were let go for too long, and he needs to teach them a thing or two about how things should be done when you're a Buxton. Also, Prudence is not to come along. Rowena convinces her Uncle to allow her to come along as their maid.
Summerset Abbey takes place in 1913 when many changes are on the horizon. Sir Philip is a product of that change, and his daughters as well. His death is devastating for them. Rowena feels like she's the head of the family, her sister has asthmatic episodes and she tries to protect Victoria by not telling her everything.
Prudence must come to terms with becoming a servant, and not belonging. Sir Philip treated her like family and the servants feel as if she doesn't belong with them. She's teased and taunted but doesn't know where to go or what to do. It's clear that there's more to Prudence story then she knows. There a mystery behind her parentage, and I was kept wondering throughout the novel. I thought I knew what the secret was, but there was twist that I didn't see coming.
I really enjoyed Summerset Abbey. I thought it was very well written, I loved the three girls and their strength in their new environment. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, you will love this one. It has a very similar feel to Downton. I really enjoyed reading about the servant's quarters as well as the family quarters. Brown delivered a fresh perspective on the distinctions between classes during this time.
Also, I love the cover of this one.

I love Downton Abbey so I am definitely going to have to read this one, it sounds great!ReplyDelete
I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as you did, but I still thought it was good. Given the ending I'm very glad we don't have to wait for long for the sequel!ReplyDelete

ACT Welcomes The Flying Karamazov Brothers, 2/2
ACT Theatre is thrilled to welcome back The Flying Karamazov Brothers (FKB) February 2 -12 in the Falls Theatre. Fresh from a year Off-Broadway, a summer in London's West End, a month in Madrid, and a weekend in Peoria, their critically incriminating show arrives just in time to warm up Seattle audiences. This year, FKB performs 12 shows over two weeks as part of ACT's Central Heating Lab. The group also celebrates the 30th anniversary of their first engagement with ACT, considered their home venue in the Northwest.
Promising to "wash away your winter blues with red fire and yellow yolk," these clever pranksters dance, prance, pun, dunce, sing, aspire, perspire, and mesmerize their way through an evening of reinvention. Their act is accessible and will delight audiences of all ages. Attendees are invited to bring objects to the theatre for The Champ to keep airborne in a real challenge that ends either with a pie in the face or a standing ovation. Not-so-fine-print: Objects must be heavier than an ounce, less than 10 pounds and no bigger than a breadbox. The Champ will not juggle a live animal or anything that may prevent The Champ from continuing to be a live animal.
Their variety show is a unique blend of music, comedy, dance, theater, and juggling that dazzles. The Flying Ks are certainly at the apex of their ambidextrous and alliterative ability. Their performances are a combination of physical and verbal humor and range from high brow to low brow to mono brow. Each event proving that chaos and unexpected events are the very best part of being human.
Named after the characters of Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, the current lineup includes founding members Dmitri (Paul Magid), Alexi (Mark Ettinger), Pavel (Rod Kimball) and Zossima (Stephen Bent). Each of the Brothers brings his area of expertise to the enterprise. Mark Ettinger is the resident musician, composer, and conductor. Rod Kimball is the master juggler. Paul Magid is the writer, director, and founder. Stephen Bent is exceptionally tall.
The FKBs had their genesis nearly forty years ago in 1973 when Paul and Howard discovered each other living across the hall in the dorms of the University of California at Santa Cruz. They met up with Randy Nelson (who had acted with Paul in high school), and the three hitchhiked to Spokane to perform at the World's Fair in 1974. During this trip, Howard was reading the classic Russian novel. He noticed how the book's characters fit their own personalities, and thus, the FKBs were born. (Randy performed under the moniker Alyosha, and first attempted to retire after having his pocket picked in Seattle.) After they wandered together and separately over North America, they eventually graduated from college, moved to San Francisco in 1976 and began to perform regularly as a trio.
Since its inception, the FKB have been on many shows including, "The Tonight Show," "Ellen," "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," "The Today Show" and "Seinfeld," and they have collaborated and performed with many stars, including Frank Sinatra, The Grateful Dead, Dolly Parton, The Smothers Brothers and The Who. They were also part of the movie "The Jewel of the Nile," alongside Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.
Tickets for The Flying Karamazov Brothers at ACT Theatre are on sale now and available at www.acttheatre.org or 206.292.7676.

It came as the firm revealed annual pre-tax profits of £2.1bn in the year to 30 June, up from £1.9bn a year ago.
The world's biggest alcoholic drinks group also owns Smirnoff vodka, Johnnie Walker whisky and Baileys liquor.
"We have no plans to sell Guinness. In the UK it is doing very well," Diageo boss Paul Walsh told the BBC.
Investors disappointed
Mr Walsh said that Guinness retained a high profile in the UK, thanks to its advertising campaigns and sponsorship of rugby union.
"Guinness has helped drive market share gains," he added.
But the Diageo results statement said challenges in the Irish beer market had "adversely impacted" on growth in Europe, with Guinness sales in Ireland down 3% over the year.
Shares in Diageo ended down 2.5% after Thursday trading after market hopes that the group might raise targets for the current year were not realised.
Diageo said operating profit would increase by "at least" 7% in its current financial year, but investors had been looking for more.
Total sales increased by 8% to £9.7bn during the year, helped by a strong performance in the US and Canada.

As we head into the holiday weekend the temperatures will continue to climb with highs nearing 90 degrees on Saturday. A weakening cold front will drift into central Ohio Saturday night into Sunday bringing with it widespread showers and thunderstorms by Sunday morning. Some locally heavy rainfall will be possible with some of the storms. The front will get a push just south of central Ohio on Labor Day which will decrease but not completely end the threat for storms. The front will return northward on Tuesday, once again bringing more widespread rain showers. Temperatures most of next week will be near seasonable average, in the lower to middle 80s.
Alerts: NONE
Inconvenient Weather: The heat and humidity will be on the rise again over the next 24 hours. Temperatures will near 90 degrees to start the holiday weekend. Showers and storms will return to central Ohio by late Saturday night into Sunday with locally heavy rain possible Sunday.

The Military Lending Act, or MLA, is supposed to protect military service personnel from abusive financial products. Unfortunately, loopholes and lax enforcement have limited the law's effectiveness.
Now, Congress may step up to remedy the situation through amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, according to the Consumer Federation of America, or CFA, a consumer advocacy organization in Washington, D.C.
A June 2012 consumer federation report found some lenders had exploited loopholes in the MLA's definitions so they could offer loans that were essentially the same as those the Defense Department attempted to prohibit. Earlier studies also found predatory loans had been offered to military service members.
Specifically, the new legislation would:
- Empower the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, to enforce the Military Lending Act. The CFPB can supervise payday lenders, but can't cite MLA violations during its examinations.
- Empower the Federal Trade Commission to enforce the MLA. The FTC manages a repository for service members' complaints about financial products but cannot act when those complaints identify violations of the Military Lending Act.
- Ensure that lenders cannot evade state credit laws by claiming they originate loans only to nonresident service members stationed at military bases.
- Protect dependents of service members from abusive credit products and practices by standardizing the definition of covered military dependents to help creditors identify who is covered.
- Require the U.S. Department of Defense to review the effectiveness of existing MLA rules every two years in consultation with financial regulators, including the CFPB.
- Require the Defense Department to conduct a study of credit products and practices and identify new credit products that harm service members. The study would be developed in consultation with consumer protection advocacy groups and the financial services industry.
Jean Ann Fox, senior adviser for financial services at the CFA, said in a statement that the amendments would help to ensure financial protections for service members were adequately enforced.
The House bill is H.R. 4310. The Senate bill, which passed in early December, is S. 3254.
Do you think these proposals would protect service members if they were enacted into law?

For Hines Ward, it's eat, sleep, dance
Hines Ward took a break from a different kind of practice to which he is accustomed, tugged at his pant leg and revealed a white sock with black rings that he bought recently while celebrating his and former Steeler Jerome Bettis' birthdays in Las Vegas.
Words on the sock carried Ward's current mantra: Eat. Sleep. Dance.
"That's really all we have time for," the Steelers receiver said Friday morning, about 12 hours after he was presented with the Art Rooney Award at the Westin, Downtown.
Ward and professional partner Kym Johnson spent much of the rainy day inside Art & Style Dance Studio on the South Side working on the paso doble, a lively dance step modeled after the drama of Spanish bullfights that they will perform Monday night on "Dancing With the Stars."
The pair have emerged as early favorites to win the competition. Since the premiere, they have inspired judges to wave Terrible Towels. They have also prompted past and current Steelers such as Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis, Rashard Mendenhall, Antwaan Randle El and Larry Foote to fly to Los Angeles for a live viewing.
Linebackers James Farrior and James Harrison and offensive tackle Max Starks are expected to be in the audience Monday.
"For them to come out and show their support," Ward said, "I guess they're impressed."
The support Ward has received from fans, he said, rivals what he has gotten during a decorated playing career.
"We're getting lots of e-mails and messages about how great he is doing, so there's no question Steelers Nation is paying attention," Steelers president Art Rooney II said. "It's fun to watch. I haven't watched that many dance shows, so it's a little different for me."
Ward's performing on "Dancing With the Stars" was almost a year in the making -- his business manager gauged his interest prior to the start of the 2010 football season -- but before last month, Ward said, he hadn't danced since college.
"I had never done a dance routine before. I was surprised at how quick I could pick it up," Ward said. "Sometimes (Johnson) thinks I've taken some lessons somewhere because I just react to it."
"You're an athlete, and you're really agile and smart," Johnson said while sitting next to Ward at the South Side studio. "You pick things up quick."
Watching the two off the dance floor makes it easy to see why they have so much chemistry on it. They have known each other less than a month but have the same give-and-take in conversation as they do while dancing.
Johnson throws back her head and laughs when Ward explains how his frequent use of slang confuses the Australian dancer, and it is not uncommon for the two to finish each other's sentences during an interview.
Johnson said she didn't know Hines Ward from Ward Cleaver when she learned she had been paired with him. She used Google to research Ward, who holds just about every major receiving record in Steelers history.
Ward, though, felt compelled to show her another side of him on the football field, one in which he plays to the whistle. That is how Johnson ended up watching a video of Ward flattening Ravens safety Ed Reed with a block in a 2007 game.
"I said, 'I can't imagine you being so aggressive on the field' because he's so sweet and gentle and really humble," said Johnson, who danced with former NFL defensive tackle Warren Sapp in 2008.
As much as Johnson has gotten to know Ward -- the two are together almost every day for at least five hours of practice -- she didn't understand why he wanted to incorporate a Terrible Towel into their routine last week.
"I was worried people would think you were off to clean some tables," Johnson said in her distinctive accent. "Now being in Pittsburgh I see how important the football team is to the city and how much they love Hines."
Johnson accompanied Ward for his two-day trip to Pittsburgh so they could practice before returning to Los Angeles today. All went well, though Johnson nearly got Ward's man card revoked Thursday night while they were at a South Side bar.
"There was a jukebox and all of the songs were cool, and the next thing I know Barry Manilow (starts playing)," Ward said with a laugh. "I kind of put my head down."
That is one of his few complaints about Johnson, who is as meticulous as any coach Ward has had. In addition to guiding him through practice and different dance steps, Johnson choreographs their routines.
Their attention to detail is one reason Ward and Johnson have enjoyed success on the show.
Johnson said she has trouble sleeping because she is always thinking about the next dance she has to choreograph. And Ward said he frustrates Johnson, at times, with his need for perfection.
Earlier this week, Ward refused to move to another part of their routine until he mastered a step that had been giving him trouble.
Eat, sleep and dance, indeed.
As his confidence grows, Ward said he would like for Lynn Swann to catch his act in Los Angeles. After all, they now have more in common than excelling at receiver for the Steelers.
"I see why Lynn Swann did ballet because it definitely helps your footwork," Ward said. "I'm trying to reach out to Lynn. I would love for him to come out there."

Heart problems, specifically heart attack, is one of the leading causes of the increase in mortality today. The predominance of such condition is said to be caused by people living sedentary lifestyles and making unhealthy choices as they age. One known reason as to why some people experience heart attacks is due to thrombosis or the formation of blood clots. There are some medications being used to prevent such problem from happening, however, an alternative remedy derived from a specific enzyme has been discovered to help prevent the clustering of blood. Supplements such as Nutricology Lumbrokinase are said to contain this essential component.
Lumbrokinase is an enzyme derived from specific worms called Lumbricus rubellus or simply, earthworms. Studies say that the enzyme from these worms are beneficial for the overall health of a person. Having many researchers and clinical studies to back its efficacy, lumbrokinase is believed to be most effective in terms of dissolving and preventing blood clots from developing, thus, giving hope for medical researchers with regards to the search for an effective, preventive remedy for certain heart problems.
Because of the said effects of the enzyme in the health of people, dietary supplements, particularly Nutricology Lumbrokinase, has been introduced to the public. The said product claims to help break up blood clots and prevent such problem from reoccurring, also it helps prevent the onset of heart attacks from thrombosis. Many controlled clinical studies have found such claims to be true because of the results they have seen in those who were prone to blood clot development. They say that the product works just after taking it making the supplement a fast, effective and safe remedy for the condition.
Many doctors who also acknowledge the efficacy and safety of natural products recommend this supplement to some of their patients who are suffering from problems in blood circulation. These medical professionals say that as this supplement breaks down and prevents blood from clustering and developing into an arterial blockage, the chances of their patients to develop heart and arterial problems are decreased significantly. Also, patients who have been prescribed with such natural product have seen changes in their health.
Before planning on adding Nutricology Lumbrokinase to your diet, it is best to consult a physician. There are limitations to consider before such product is to be administered or prescribed, which is why initially getting checked is important, especially for those who are prone to excessive bleeding or other blood related problems. Preventing health conditions from worsening, developing or becoming complicated should be the primary goal of all people.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack.
I don't care if I never get back.
And it's pretty much the same way for Ken Carpenter of Chandler who has carried numerous boxes or bags of the caramel corn confectionery on his back or belly for 14 baseball seasons — a vending tradition he started on March 31, 1998 — when Chase Field opened as Bank One Ballpark for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Most home games, Carpenter, 65, goes up and down concrete stairs, along aisles, between sections throughout the ballpark, toting his wares for Chicago-based Levy Restaurants, which sells treats at Chase and six other ballparks across the nation, including Cracker Jack, which is marking its 100th anniversary of providing a "prize" in every box or bag.
But little did Carpenter know that when the 2012 baseball season started, Cracker Jack would be marking the milestone of providing a prize in every box or bag that he sells to the fans — $5 for a seven-ounce bag that he describes as "sweet popcorn."
In all, Cracker Jack has given away more than 23 billion prizes in a century, all manufactured in America, and produces 16 million pounds of the molasses-coated popcorn annually which it mostly supplies to baseball stadiums and convenience stores throughout the United States, according to Alexia Allina, a spokeswoman for PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, the famed potato chip company based in Plano, Texas.
As Carpenter was putting on his vendor's strap and loading it with six bags of Cracker Jack just for starters at the D-Backs game last week, he confessed: "I eat Cracker Jack. I remember it from my childhood. My grandfather used to bring it home from Mayfair, a grocery store where he worked as a cashier. I remember getting a race car one time, and of course, the rings. After I sell someone a bag of Cracker Jack, I sometimes walk back past the person and ask them, 'Hey, did ya get a good prize?' And they say, 'Hey, I got the diamond ring'."
Carpenter, who grew up in San Jose, Calif., as a San Francisco Giants fan rooting for players such as Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal, also confessed that the Diamondbacks are his "second favorite" team and being a vendor is all for the love of the game.
"It's a nice part-time job, and it's good money," added Carpenter, who said he sells anywhere from between three to 18 bags of Cracker Jack each game in addition to other treats he promotes throughout the park. "And I love baseball. I get to see all the games. I've also seen a World Series, an All-Star Game and numerous playoff games. It's fun interacting with people. Being a vendor is good cardio exercise, too."
Carpenter, whose daughter also has worked as a vendor at Chase for the last two years enroute to starting her career as a schoolteacher this upcoming school year, said of Cracker Jack, "It's something for the kids. They get excited knowing they're going to get a prize in the bag."
And despite me being a baseball fan and knowing that songwriter Jack Norworth's ballad, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," promotes the treat in the third line, little did I know how old Cracker Jack was until I went "back home" to Ohio last month for a vacation that included a trip to the COSI (the Columbus, Ohio Science Institute) with my family.
It was there that I saw Frito-Lay's impressive and enormous exhibit of Cracker Jack history — and thousands of toys and prizes that have been included in boxes of the snack since 1912. The early prizes were metal toys and baseball cards of the greats during the early 1900s such as Ty Cobb and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, which are worth thousands of dollars today. Later on, prizes included metal whistles with the logo of Sailor Jack and his dog, Bingo, that first was introduced on boxes of the Cracker Jack in 1918. The whistles and other prizes such as de-coder rings, magnifying glasses and animals with moving parts later were made of plastic.
Cracker Jack was introduced in 1893 by Frederick William Rueckheim at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago's first world's fair. He and his brother, Louis, later concocted a secret recipe so the pieces of popcorn wouldn't stick together, and the rest is history.
Now, the prizes such as educational or fun-fact puzzles and pencil toppers, are made of paper, leaving some to wonder as to whether the good old toys have gone to the wayside.
Spokeswoman Allina said she currently has not received any details on whether Frito-Lay will do anything special to mark the 100th anniversary of prizes in Cracker Jack or if anything special is in the works for Cracker Jack's 120th anniversary year in 2013.
Cracker Jack has been owned and made by PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division since 1997, the year it purchased it from the Columbus, Ohio-based Borden Co., which had purchased the Cracker Jack Co. from the Rueckheim family in 1964. Frito-Lay now manufactures Cracker Jack at a facility in Grand Rapids, Mich., Allina said.
Kelly Dugan, the vending manager for Levy Restaurants at Chase Field, is at least a generation removed from vendor Carpenter — but said he remembers getting rub-on tattoos in boxes of Cracker Jack.
However, Dugan said that Cracker Jack is not the big seller it once was, as just 10,000 bags of it are sold at Chase each season and bags of peanuts remain the ballpark's top selling snack.
"It's more of a novelty item and sold because of tradition," Dugan said. "But hey, as long as it moves, we'll sell it. After all, it's fat free."
Vendor Carpenter said, "You'd be amazed at how many adults buy it. I don't see too many kids eating it. I guess it's more of a nostalgic thing."
However, in a matter of seconds during a D-Backs game last Monday, Carpenter sold the first bag of Cracker Jack that night to Antonio Bello of Phoenix, who was at the game with his mother, Cristina, celebrating his 4th birthday.
And as Antonio began munching on his Cracker Jack, it looked as though he, too, didn't care if he never got back.
Ahhh. There is hope for the future.

- direct tissue arteriole diameter measurements to assess vasoactivity
- comparing standard measurement of oxygen delivery to direct tissue oxygen concentrations
- determining if there are any effects of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis
Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXBT), a development stage biomedical company focused on developing oxygen-carrying intravenous and topical products, announced today that it has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Naval Medical Research Unit of San Antonio (NAMRU-SA) to assess the safety and efficacy of Oxycyte ® as well as hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) as potential resuscitation treatments for hemorrhagic shock. This latest CRADA is in addition to separate, ongoing research programs in which the U.S. Navy is exploring the therapeutic potential of Oxycyte in the areas of decompression sickness and traumatic brain injury. Circulatory system collapse (shock) following acute hemorrhage continues to be the leading cause of preventable battlefield death and is also frequently seen in the civilian population in victims of vehicular accidents and shootings. Hemorrhagic shock is characterized by hemodynamic instability that leads sequentially to decreases in oxygen delivery, lowered tissue perfusion, cellular hypoxia, organ damage, and, often, death. The success of current treatment modalities, which include introduction of IV fluids and blood products, are time dependent and often problematic, particularly on the battlefield. Intravenous oxygen–carrying therapeutic agents have the potential to improve survival by providing oxygen to tissues, maintaining blood pressure, and reducing or preventing hemorrhagic shock following acute battlefield injury prior to hospitalization. Per the terms of this most recent CRADA, NAMRU-SA will conduct a multi-phased, three-year research program to study several oxygen based therapies in rat and swine models of hemorrhagic shock. Endpoints of the research include:

PARIS (Jun. 24)
The French High Court of Appeals last night ruled that Mrs. Hedwig Rosner of Gedera, Israel, aunt of the finally boys, is legally entitled to their custody. The decision capped a two-year battle which commenced with a ruling by a Grenoble court taking the children away from Mile. Antoinette Brun, guardian of the children, who had them baptized into the Catholic faith.
Last night's decision, however, will have no immediate effect on the status of the two children because they are still missing, presumably held by Catholic authorities in Spain. while the case was pending last winter, Mile. Brun aided by several Catholic priests spirited the children out of France to Spain. The children had been left with a municipal orphanage headed by Mile. Brun when their parents were arrested by the Gestapo in 1944.
The case has become a national issue in France and was recently exacerbated when Grand Rabbi Jacob Kaplan pointed out that French Catholic, authorities who had promised to return the children to France had failed to do so. Jewish organizations in Frame and abroad have appealed to Church and civic organizations, including the International Red Cross, to aid in the return of the children.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Gerlier, in a letter to Grand Rabbi Kaplan, has protested against the latter'8 criticism of the Catholic Church's good faith in the finally affair. As a token of this good will, the Cardinal revealed that his envoy, Mile. Ribiere, has gone to Spain again to search for the two kidnapped Jewish orphans.
The Duke of Hernani, president of the Spanish Red Cross, and a Spanish Foreign Office spokesman, have categorically denied that the brothers are in Spain. Reports from Madrid now suggest that the boys may be hidden in Morocco or perhaps in France. Father Michael Requite, leading preacher at the Cathedral of Note Dame, has dropped a hint that the Church might be willing to produce the children if assurances were given that they would remain in France and would not be sent to their relatives in Israel.

First step, I see a black door and I want to paint it red (see what I did there by flipping the colors in the Rolling Stones song? I've been singing it all week ;). I hated the uninviting black entryway to our place, so instead, selected a warm redish/orange "Smoldering Red" paint from Benjamin Moore to repaint the door. For extra warmth, I also added a nice harvest autumn wreath from ProFlowers for the upcoming Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays.
Secondly, we weren't about to paint or reside the entire house though. However, Raphael bought a strong pressure washer and gave the siding a good clean. And voila, what was thought to be a greyish color sideing was revelead to have more of honey/beige hue once cleaned properly and awakened by a different colored front door.
We then planted some bushes to frame the door and for under the first floor window, which really livened things up.
And lastly, per the above 20 recommendations, we also added in solar path lights down our driveway to illuminate our entryway further at night. They work really well, I was impressed and thankful we didn't have to do any wiring. In fact, it only costs $22 for 8 lights on Amazon.
PS: oh yeah, we bought a house! :-D With double trouble on the way, we needed more space than our apt will allow. We move in next week and with 5 weeks left to go, not a moment too soon.

Education Outreach Day Program
Education Outreach Day Program
Program Goals
This year we anticipate 4,000 local students and their teachers to attend the Education Outreach Day Program on Thursday, May 18, 2017. Public and charter schools are invited to attend—many from underserved communities and schools that don't have their own science activities.
Students experience science first-hand through a full day of interactive, hands-on science programming including viewing finalists' projects and visiting the Intel ISEF Commons. Students will experience real world science in action from a broad spectrum of disciplines such as marine biology, environmental science, engineering and robotics.
The Program encourages students to think critically, work together, and get excited about science.
1) Get local students excited about science, learning and exploring.
2) Enable more than 4,000 students and their teachers from approximately 50 local schools to participate by providing them with grants for transportation and substitute teacher costs.
3) Connect Los Angeles area students with local organizations such as museums, universities and professional science associations.

Breville Group (Australia)
Breville is an Australian manufacturer and marketer of small home appliances, founded in Melbourne in 1932. They created the original sandwich toaster. The product was a huge success upon its launch in Australia in 1974, selling 400,000 units in its first year and making the Breville brand a household name in Australia. Soon after, the Breville toasted sandwich maker was launched in New Zealand and Great Britain where it met with similar success. The name became synonymous with such devices - to the point where in some countries "Breville" has become the generic word for a sandwich toaster, and often the toasted sandwich itself, in much the same way that "The Hoover Company" is associated with the vacuum cleaner.
In 1932, Bill O'Brien and Harry Norville (born Charles Henry Norville) mixed their last names together and the Breville brand was created. They started off making radios, then mine detectors for the war.
After World War II and the commencement of television transmission in Australia in 1956, Breville turned its attention to small appliances.
It also commenced manufacturing television sets under the Precedent brand name. The television business was sold to Electronic Industries Limited in 1968.
The O'Brien family continued developing the Breville business for three generations, with Bill's son John O'Brien setting up the Breville Research and Development centre in the late 1960s, and his daughter Barbara, running the Marketing department throughout the 1990s. John continued to lead many product development initiatives for the Breville brand up until his death in December 2003. Breville's product development division is one of Australia's largest industrial design centres, and one of the largest worldwide in the small electrical appliance sector. Breville's R&D team has over 100 active patents and has been awarded more than 40 international design awards. In 1974, it completed development of the toastie maker. In 1977, Breville launched Australia's first food processor, the Breville Kitchen Wizz. Other firsts include the world's first high wall heating electric wok, the adjustable height sandwich press, the active arm citrus press, the world's first juice extractor to juice whole fruit, and in 2010, the Tea Maker, a variable temperature kettle with a self-lowering basket that brews tea automatically. Breville's Centre of Design Excellence is now located in Botany in Sydney.
In 1982, Breville Australia sold its ownership of the brand in Europe, which today is owned by Jarden. The European business is based in England and trades almost exclusively in the United Kingdom and has collaborated with Antony Worrall Thompson. Pulse manages its own product development and is no longer affiliated with Breville's Centre of Design Excellence in Australia.
Outside of Europe, the Breville brand is a division of the Australian ASX listed Breville Group, which also has bases in the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
In 2002, the Breville brand was launched into the United States and Canada. Breville trades in over 30 countries including China, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Israel.
The company makes contact grills, kettles, espresso machines, toasters, microwave ovens, pressure cookers, coffeemakers, breadmakers, juicers, deep fryers, blenders, and food processors.
As of June 2013, Breville no longer distributed Keurig "single serve" machines for Canada.
Breville operates under the Sage by Heston Blumenthal, Solis, Gastroback, Stollar, Catler, Bork and Riviera&Bar brands in Europe.

Dear Mikey,
My fiancée and I are engaged to be married this upcoming July. We have been friends forever and dating for years and the time is right to finally tie the knot. Our families could not be more ecstatic and we are all looking forward to July.
This is the first Christmas where we are actually going to coordinate everything at our new house that we just bought not too long ago. It has plenty of room to fit both of our families for the holidays.
The problem is, my fiancée and I both come from broken households. My parents divorced when I was a teenager and hers divorced when she was a young child. Neither party gets along with the other and everyone has since remarried. Since they can't stand one another or their new spouses we might have a slight problem having everyone over for Christmas dinner.
My fiancée and I want to have Christmas at our house with everyone to kick-start our wedding excitement, and we want our families to get to know each other better well before the wedding. We are trying to send our families a message that we aren't going to have a broken home like the ones we came from and that we want everyone to come together as a family and just get along.
Is this a good idea or just a Christmas recipe for disaster?
— Stressed at Christmas
Dear Stressed at Christmas,
Congratulations to you and your fiancée for wanting to tie the knot. What an exciting time it must be for you guys right now.
I think it is wonderful that you both are trying to kickstart the wedding celebrations by having your first Christmas together with both of your families at your new house. I also admire the agreement you and your fiancée made about not having a broken home like the ones you both came from — it is a positive direction for your marriage to head towards.
Having get-togethers with family members who may have gone through a rough divorce or have even remarried can always be challenging, but there is always the possibility of them working out in a positive way if you follow a few helpful tips.
First, as you are telling your family members about the dinner you are planning, make sure you let them know that you and your fiancée want to have a nice, holiday festive dinner to let your families get to know each other. At this point, let them know that you are inviting all family members, whether that means new spouses, old spouses, and their divorced halves as they are all considered your parents now (moms, dads, stepmoms, stepdads). This way, you aren't blindsiding anyone that shows up who thought the other half wasn't invited.
Next, make sure as you are setting up your dining room table that you are not putting anyone near someone who they do not get along with, so issues don't occur during dinner. Put new spouses with new spouses, and give plenty of space away from old spouses, especially if there are still issues/negative vibes between them.
Lastly, make sure that you also let your guests/family members know that this is not going to be a time for bringing up harsh feelings and issues from the past, but instead a respectful Christmas celebration of merging your family with your fiancée's family. Ask them kindly to leave the past in the past.
If you do come across an issue a spouse has with a former spouse being there, kindly let them know that you guys are trying to just get all of the family members together for Christmas, and if they aren't comfortable then give them the option that they do not have to come. If this is the case, then you all can reschedule a time to have a "Christmas dinner" on a different night.
If you follow these tips, you should be able to make it through Christmas just fine. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Blood thinners are one of our best weapons when it comes to treating or preventing blood clots, but they aren't without risks. Since they interfere with blood clotting—our body's natural defense against bleeding—bleeding is the most common complication associated with this drug and although rare, can be life-threatening. Fortunately, a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Amsterdam has identified a blood thinner that may be safer than the standard therapy, warfarin (Coumadin).
This study, which was also published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested the safety and efficacy of a new blood thinner, edoxaban, in treating deep-vein thrombosis (blood clot in deep veins, usually in the legs) and pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs). More than 8,200 patients participated in the trial and were prescribed either edoxaban or warfarin, for 3-12 months. Not only did researchers find that edoxaban was just as effective in treating these conditions as standard treatment, they also discovered that patients taking edoxaban had significantly lower risk of bleeding compared to those taking warfarin. And interestingly, edoxaban was actually more effective than warfarin in a certain subset of patients with a pulmonary embolism.

ISIS is continually upgrading parts of the machine and the instruments, to improve reliability and expand both capability and capacity of the instruments. These are some of the projects currently underway.
2015 will see both the capacity and capability of ISIS increase with two new instruments coming online. Target station 2 started operation in 2008 with 7 neutron instruments, and now two new instruments, ChipIR and Larmor have received first neutrons and are beginning their commissioning phases. A further two instruments, IMAT and ZOOM, are under construction.
Design on the new guides for Maps and Tosca has started with the aim of having the upgraded instruments running sometime in 2016.
The ISIS muon facility has been operating since 1987, and some of the muon beamline magnets were second-hand then – they are now over 50 years old in some cases. During the long shutdown in 2014/5, the quadrupoles near the muon target will be replaced.
The ISIS First Target Station (TS1) has now been operating for over 30 years. During this period, there has been no significant work carried out to maintain or develop the internals of TS1. The ISIS First Target Station project aims to refurbish much of TS1 to ensure its continued operation for many years into the future.
The ISIS linear accelerator (linac) consists of 4 radiofrequency (RF) accelerating tanks, accelerating hydrogen ions generated in the ion source to 37% of the speed of light before feeding them into the synchrotron for final acceleration. Tanks 1 and 4 were built at RAL in 1976, for ISIS' predecessor, Nimrod. They are now showing their age, so a project is underway to replace tank 4 by 2018.
EPB1 is made up of 68 magnets all of which are roughly 50 years old. Many of the electrical windings of these magnets are deteriorating (especially in high radiation-dose areas near the downstream end of EPB1). Replacement of magnets upstream of the muon target and between the muon target and the neutron target will take place during the 2014/15 shutdown.

Owensboro News Set to the Music of Journey [ROBCAST]

A protester interrupted the sleepy confirmation hearings Thursday for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who has been nominated to be the next secretary of State.
"You're killing thousands of people!" she yelled. "I'm tired of my friends in the Middle East dying!" She was escorted out.
Kerry responded by mentioning the moment that catapulted him onto the national stage, when he testified in 1971 in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a Vietnam veteran and famously asked, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

Based on a patented process, RAFT enables the production of reproducible 3D cell cultures in a standard 96-well plate format designed for compound screening and cell biology research. It uses collagen to create a realistic cellular environment to study cells' complex behaviour and gives scientists complete control over their experimental parameters. Researchers can choose cell types and cell seeding densities and create complex co-cultures including multiple layers, if required. A broad range of analytical techniques, such as imaging, biochemical, histological and 'omics techniques, can be applied to the 3D cell cultures.
RAFT has been independently recognised as revolutionary by the SLAS and has been shortlisted as just one of nine finalists for the prestigious SLAS Innovation Award for extraordinary innovative advances.
On the booth, TAP Biosystems will show how the simple 3 step process of mix, make and measure simplifies the route to improved results from 3D experiments. Scientists simply mix the reagents from the kit with their cells, pipette into 96 well plates and incubate on the plate heater for 30 minutes to form a cell-seeded collagen hydrogel. The RAFT plate is placed on the hydrogels, and in just 15 minutes the medium is absorbed gently, leaving cells "encapsulated" in physiological strength collagen, ideal for use in cell-based secondary screening.
Dr Grant Cameron, TAP Biosystems' RAFT Development Director commented: "Many researchers want to use a more realistic cellular environment but have so far found 3D cell culture technically demanding and often with variable results. RAFT offers an innovative method of accessing a wide range of reproducible cell cultures, which could be beneficial for providing more physiological relevant responses in oncology, stem cell and general cell biology applications. We look forward to welcoming these scientists to Booth 815, to discover how RAFT's simple and convenient workflow could enable the routine use of 3D cell-based screening programmes."

UPDATE: 28-Year-Old Dead After Participating in Tough Mudder
Officials say he was underwater four to seven minutes, resuscitated after 50 minutes of CPR but later died from brain swelling.
His best friend says Avi was one of a kind.
"Avi was uniquely wonderful. The currency he traded in was friends. Everyone felt that Avi was their best friend and hew as uniquely able to make you feel happy and feel good about yourself at all times," says Dan Gemp, best fried of Avishek Sengupta.
Friends say Avi was in his best shape. He trained hard and was excited for the Tough Mudder. It's a 10-plus mile run over rugged terrain with around 20 obstacles.
Tough Mudder released a statement saying they are deeply sorry for Avishek's loss. They say safety is their top priority: in over 50 Tough Mudders, and a total of 750,000 participants, he is the only death.
"They have a lot of crew around. They're constantly looking and talking to you, asking you if you're okay," says Nazim Jafferali, participant in the Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder.
Police report at least 10 injuries from Saturday's event, including those flown from the scene to the hospital. One participant says she was also injured on a water obstacle called "Pirate's Booty."
"I hit the ground, and apparently when I hit the ground, I hit a guy. I went under the water and when I came back up, I was facing down. Somebody flipped me over," says Jennifer Lanberg Andersen, participant in the Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder.
Thousands of so-called Mudders crossed the finish line this weekend, and say it lives up to its name.
"You have to have cardio and upper body strength to get through a lot of the obstacles, it's all mind over matter," says Jacob Brady, participant in the Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder.
Mudders came together as a community on social media to recognize the dangers and excitement, and to mourn the loss of Avishek Sengupta.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office is conducting the investigation and believes Avishek's death was a tragic accident.

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jeanne Meister for Xyleme Voices. Based on insights from her book, the podcast looks at trends and predictions about what the workforce will look like in 2020. Jeanne packs a tremendous amount of valuable information into a 19 minute podcast, so it's worth a full listen, but here is a small glimpse:
- In 2020, there will be five generations in the workplace. 50% will be Millennials and Gen 2020 will just be entering the workforce. This means that over half an organization's workforce will have been hyper-connected since birth.
- By 2020, the workplace will be highly personalized and social. Social networks will be the first point of contact between companies and their future employees and internal social networks will be the primary way that workers communicate, connect and collaborate.
- Smart phones and tablets will replace personal computers as the internet connection devices of choice. The mobile device will become an office, a classroom and a concierge.
- Employee engagement will be a key driver in helping workers more efficiently find information and increase productivity.
However, before Jeanne's hopeful predictions of the highly agile and fluid 2020 workforce connected by mobile social networks can come to fruition, the dependence on the enterprise LMS and the old modes of training delivery needs to be broken.
In the 90's and 0's, the LMS became the entrenched learning channel in the organization and the gateway to learning content. The content tended to be monolithic eLearning courses delivered to desktop or laptop computers. Even now, 20 years later, new LMS companies are emerging on a regular basis and entrenching themselves in the organization. They pitch themselves as the gateway to learning content, but in today's world they feel more like a bottleneck.
Jeanne argues that in the 2020 workplace employees will want to engage and learn in the same way and with the same ease as they do outside work. That being said, I've never heard the process of connecting to the content in an LMS described as "easy". And it's highly suspect that outside work, people browse catalogs, register for content, launch systems to play that content then root through a plethora of mostly irrelevant information to find information they need in their personal lives.
Let's take this a step further. In her podcast, Jeanne cites an IDC report that states that workers, on average, spend two hours per day trying to find relevant information to help them do their job. However, much of the effort in creating learning products has been misdirected, placing a higher value on production values rather than solving the problem of supporting learners in their moment of need.
In order to hold learners' attention, today's courses are dressed up with high gloss production values. But, are employees that are truly motivated to learn a new skill because they are on the hook to perform it really care about the production value of learning? I contend it is less important that the content looks cool, than being able to quickly connect to relevant content and experts at the moment a learner needs it. The Millennials and 2020 employees will shun the old model and place a premium on the ability to connect with most relevant content and experts, wherever they are, on the device they have at the moment and at the moment it they need it.
There will always be a need to have an LMS for certain modalities of learning, compliance being cited most often, but a lot of what is currently handled via the LMS has be decoupled from it and moved into the social mobile realm. For Millennial and 2020 employees, smart mobile devices are appendages and social networking is second nature. It is a totally different means to collaborate and our concept of training and learning need to adapt to the rhythm of these workers.
In most organizations, the need for training happens on the job, at a moment of need. Much of what used to be rolled up into training can, and should be, relegated to Performance Support. But we're talking Performance Support 2020 which is Mobile, Personalized and Social.
- It is mobile in that you will be able to access the knowledge base from your mobile device where ever you are, at exactly the moment you need it.
- It will be personalized in that the features of the device, such as GPS and barcode scanners, can help set a context for where you are and what you are doing and assist in connecting you to the content and experts you need.
- It will be social in that you will be able to comment and rate the content and use the comments ratings of others to help you decide what content is best for you.
In the 2020 workforce, every learner is a teacher and every teacher is a learner. If you find that content doesn't quite hit the mark or doesn't yet exist, you will use your mobile device to create user-generated video, photos, or voice recordings. If your content is highly rated by your peers, you will be an expert on this subject, and be an accessible mentor to others.
The future does look bright, and the 2020 workforce can be quicker and more agile if we can harness the mobile social networks. We just need to pry the content out of the eLearning and free it from the LMS.
