But sometimes a one-stop shop can be useful: A place to find, slice and visualize data from elsewhere to add to your own projects. What follows are some of the most useful websites for official or vetted data and accompanying tools to visualize them. All of these sites, except for the last two -- WeatherSpark and DataMarket -- provide data and tools for free.(Note: If you're looking for ways to visualize your own data, head to 22 free tools for data visualization and analysis and the accompanying chart of free data tools.) U.S. Census Bureau The Census Bureau collects and shares a lot more than just once-in-a-decade population counts. The yearly American Community Survey includes information about demographics such as income, education and employment, as well as economic data. Other business-related surveys contain potentially useful data as well.Where to find it: The bureau's Data Access Tools section features tools for acquiring both data downloads and visualizations. Some dataviz-specific tools: County business and Demographics Map, Interactive Population Map and Annual Population Estimates (scroll down below the population clocks). World Bank eAtlas There's much more here than financial info (although of course the World Bank has plenty of that), with topics including environment, health and education as well as a slew of economic indicators.Select a subject of interest and you'll see an interactive map where you can view additional graphs as well as choose just some available countries or regions. You can bookmark a view that you find useful, share a link to a view and download data (free account needed). Be advised that the site can be a bit slow to load.Where to find it: World Bank eAtlas of Global Development. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis aggregates "83,000 U.S. and international time series from 56 sources" in a tool that lets you edit a graph's type appearance, data slice, date range and frequencies. You can also save settings, download data and more. While the visualizations aren't nearly as pretty as those from many other sites included here, the data is easy to search and the tool is intuitive to use.Where to find it: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Economic Data. Quandl This site aims to "make all the numerical data on the Internet easy to find and easy to use." It currently has more than 6 million data sets from 400+ sources on topics such as economics, finance, health, education and demographics.Quandl's tools let you subset and graph the information as well as embed resulting data visualizations elsewhere.Where to find it: Quandl.com. Google Public Data Explorer As you'd expect from a Google product, search is a key feature of Public Data Explorer, with a primary aim of making large datasets easy to find as well as analyze. Data come from official sources only such as the ITU, Eurostat and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.There are several ways to visualize and interact with the data, such as bar charts, bubble charts and maps. Visualizations can be shared or embedded, although the data are not downloadable.Where to find it: Public Data Explorer. Esri Storytelling with Maps Esri's "story maps" aim to make a point with geodata, not merely display them; these tend to look more like what you might see on an online publisher's site rather than a standalone graphic. While the site is there to tout Esri mapping technology, the gallery is searchable so you can find a map with data you want, especially if it involves a recent news story that might have inspired the story-mapping team to create a visualization.Note that since this site isn't primarily about acquiring and sharing data, some of the maps may not have fresh data; make sure to check dates.Where to find it: Story Maps. WeatherSpark WeatherSpark offers free interactive graphics and downloadable data for a fee that varies depending on what you're after -- $10 for two years' worth of daily data from a weather station, for example. While the site can be both a little overwhelming and confusing at times, there's a lot here if you're looking for weather information, including decades of historical data.Where to find it: WeatherSpark.com. DataMarket Founded five years ago, before data startups were fashionable, DataMarket is concentrating more on selling its enterprise platform these days than on its initial mission as a public data service. However, there are still plenty of data to explore and visualize at the site --listed by country, industry and topic.While there may not be as many useful data sets here as at other sources, the tools offer some compelling options. For example, in addition to slicing the data and changing visualization types, you can search for events and then add markers to your charts and graphs. You can also add additional data sets after creating an initial visualization.Note: Not all data sets are free.Where to find it: DataMarket.com.

The Dingman Ford Collection
10-11 June 2006
Lot 2174
1937 Ford Deluxe Panel Delivery
- Chassis no. 183608035
Sold for $170,500
In 1937 Ford built 42 Model 78 Deluxe Panel Delivery vans as an educational fleet to promote sales of Ford parts and accessories to dealers. The Dingman Collection's example is the only known survivor, the others having lost their identity at the end of their year's service when they were stripped of their special equipment, painted black and sold as used company fleet vehicles.
The Dingman collections Panel Delivery was conscientiously researched and restored over a three year period by Ford historian Roy Nacewicz. Its restoration included years of searching to find examples of the original equipment and displays that were part of the Parts and Accessories "Instruction Panels", as they were described by Ford. It is one of a kind.
Far more importantly, it is a unique look at the transition that Ford sales went through in the Thirties.
Henry Ford believed that consumers "pulled" automobiles through the pipeline of raw materials, blast furnaces, assembly plants and dealers based solely upon their utility. He disapproved of selling almost as much as he did of styling and design as a contrived way of "pushing" automobiles on consumers based on fabricated perceptions of value. His famous $5 a day wage endorsed in the most tangible way possible – the firmness of his conviction, by taking money out of his own pocket, as the owner of the Ford Motor Company, and putting it into the pockets of his workers where they could spend it to acquire the advantages of automobile ownership.
Ford's relationship with its dealers had long been adversarial. In the days of the Model T a Ford dealership had been a license to print money and Ford treated it that way. Field representatives were more enforcers than motivators, reporting back to Ford on transgressions of Ford's many rules, from appearance and procedures to smoking and language. This began to change when William Cowling was appointed General Sales Manager in 1931, ably assisted by John Davis. Cowling and Davis traveled incessantly, visiting dealers, listening to their complaints and suggestions and exhorting them (in Cowling's case rather flamboyantly) to emphasize the advantages of Ford products.
Henry did not make it easy. After the Model A's successful introduction he cut dealer's discounts from 20 to 17.5%. Cowling got it raised to 22% in 1931. That was above Chrysler's 21% but still well short of General Motors' 24%, and dealers for those manufacturers had the advantage of selling more expensive lines that produced greater unit profits. Henry's widely publicized prejudices offended significant groups of customers. Breweries didn't buy Fords while Henry was preaching the evils of alcohol. Tobacco companies were equally put off by his campaign against smoking. His anti-Semitic comments did nothing to encourage Ford buying, and neither did his public opposition to Roosevelt's New Deal or to unions.
Cowling and Davis, with Edsel Ford's support and encouragement, made immediate strides in creating a favorable public image for Ford. Advertising was vastly expanded, including sponsoring twice-weekly radio broadcasts by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. They organized a glittering display at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago. On an 11-acre lakefront site of which five acres, the Ford Gardens, were devoted to a park, Ford presented five separate exhibits including a history of industry drawn from the newly-opened Greenfield Village; the Ford Drama of Transportation in the gear-shaped Ford Rotunda building; an exhibit of 40 modern manufacturing operations; an [inevitable] exhibit of the benefits of soybeans; and the Road of the World depicting highways from ancient to modern times that ended with rides in Ford cars on an elevated road.
Cowling and Davis worked constantly and ultimately successfully to rebuild and improve Ford's dealer relationships. They provided tools and materials for more effective selling. They helped dealers manage the increasingly important challenge of dealing with used car trade-ins, a matter that had become crucial to sales in the Thirties and exacerbated the pressure on Ford's already-slim new car sales commissions. A $20 loss on a trade-in was life-threatening when the profit on a new car sale was only $130.
They also developed and helped dealers sell profit-enhancing extensions to selling automobiles, like the traveling Parts and Accessories Sales Development program of which this 1937 Ford Panel Delivery was an essential element. It's hard to stress enough the efficacy of programs like Parts and Accessories Sales Development in improving the health and morale of Ford's dealers and its distribution channel. $10 or $20 spent on dual sun visors, outside spotlights, "winter front" radiator shrouds and dual windshield wipers could be the difference between success and failure for Ford dealers.
Roy Nacewicz discovered this 1937 Ford Panel Delivery outside a gas station in Springfield, Ohio in 1974 when he stopped for gas. It had been rescued from service as a chicken coop (really!) by some hot rodders who had already chalk-lined the sides in preparation for chopping it. Thinking it deserved a better fate, Nacewicz brought it home where it sat for several years ("I had a real job at the time," he remembers) until he began to chemical strip the wood framed body in preparation for restoring it. "I found strange colors, indicative of the corporate colors of the era," he recalled. "I got into the Ford archives to do some research and realizing I'd found something special got more careful as I stripped the ad panel area. Then I found the faint outline of the old enamel sign painting" which had been quickly removed before the Panel Delivery was painted black and sold off.
Restoration continued, now with the additional task of identifying the materials which formed part of the Sales Development program. Many were found at swap meets or through contact with other Ford enthusiasts including the battery display rack which was mounted to the Panel Delivery's floor with a set of Ford motor mounts turned upside down. The original wooden floor boards still had the motor mount bolt holes in the precise locations. The real challenge turned out to be the file cabinets. "These were standard Ford file cabinets, used throughout the company," Nacewicz remembers. "In the Fifties or Sixties Ford changed over to Steelcase furniture and sold off all the old oak desks, filing cabinets and other office furniture to employees and others. They had disappeared. I was moaning about it one day and a neighbor asked how many I wanted, a hundred? It turned out his father had bought a garage full, and there they were, right across the street."
Completed in 1982, the restoration included a complete outfit of promotional, instructional and demonstration materials as outlined in the factory sales department literature that was found in the Ford archives. The 1937 Panel Delivery itself was outfitted with a variety of the accessories featured in the Parts and Accessories Sales Development program, including DeLuxe hubcaps and spoke covers, clock, sun visors, vanity mirror, side mirror and dual windshield wipers.
Carefully and meticulously restored, this 1937 Ford Panel Delivery was first shown at the Early Ford V-8 meet in Kansas City where it won its Dearborn Award. Finished in Ford's corporate blue-green (a color chosen by William Cowley), with a black accent pin stripe and cream wheels, the interior is upholstered and trimmed in tobacco brown with a carefully wood-grained dashboard and a banjo-spoke steering wheel. It has been carefully and consistently maintained since completion of the restoration and is today in outstanding condition, especially considering the age of the restoration which speaks volumes about its thoroughness and workmanship.
Success or failure of the Parts and Accessories Sales Development program aside, the Dingman Collection's 1937 Ford Model 78 DeLuxe Panel Delivery offers a rare and revealing insight into the efforts which were being made within Ford to improve its sales and particularly the financial success of its dealers. The only known survivor of the 42 built, its condition and equipment are a certain draw for spectators and judges alike, a unique combination of classic Ford styling, utility and Ford Motor Company history.

Scientists at Cambridge University have discovered that girls suffering from the eating disorder anorexia also present with some of the more mild characteristics of autism.
These include a strong interest in systems and order, lack of empathy, rigid attitudes and behaviour, fascination with detail, and matching differences in the area of the brain that processes social perception.
Researchers tested how 66 anorexic girls aged between 12 and 18 without autism scored on tests to measure autistic traits. These findings were then compared to more than 1,600 typical teenagers in the same age range and found that girls with anorexia scored five times more in the same range as those with autism.
The findings of the study offer hope for new ways of treating the debilitating mental illness that affects one in every 100 adolescent girls in Australia.
Lead scientist on the study, Simon Baron-Cohen, says that while treatment of anorexia has tended to mainly focus on the life-threatening symptoms of the illness, it is the traits sufferers share with the autistic that could be used to break the torturous cycle of anorexia.
"... this new research is suggesting that underlying the surface behaviour, the mind of a person with anorexia may share a lot with the mind of a person with autism. In both conditions, there is a strong interest in systems. In girls with anorexia, they have latched onto a system that concerns body weight, shape, and food intake," he said.
Tony Jaffa, who co-led the study, added that this obsession with systems can possibly be used by medical professionals to the patient's advantage.
"Shifting their interest away from body weight and dieting on to a different but equally systematic topic may be helpful," he said. "(And) recognizing that some patients with anorexia may also need help with social skills and communication, and with adapting to change, also gives us a new treatment angle."

The unit, which plugs into an AC power receptacle, is about the size of an automotive radar detector and contains an integral antenna and small display. XRX tracks up to 10 aircraft at a time and displays the top three threats. Unlike TIS-based systems, which rely on ground-based radar, XRX works independently of mode-C interrogation, displaying quadrant bearing information, relative altitude and range. The display window is scalable to a maximum range of six nautical miles and altitude of ±2,500 feet. Close traffic is announced by two levels of voice alerts heard through the pilot's headset, as well as audible beeps. The device measures 3.9 inches wide, 3.6 inches deep and 2.7 inches tall, with most of the height accounted for by the XRX's enclosed antenna. The device sells for $1,795.
News Note: Frisco, Texas-based Zaon Flight Systems has introduced the XRX, a portable aircraft collision-avoidance device that provides range, relative altitude and bearing of up to three surrounding aircraft

Geographical and Statistical Analysis on the Relationship between Land-Use Mixture and Home-Based Trip Making and More: Case of Richmond, Virginia
Richmond, Virginia has implemented numerous mixed land-use policies to encourage non-private-vehicle commuting for decades based on the best practices of other cities and the assumption that land-use mixture would positively lead to trip reduction. This paper uses both Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and statistical tools to empirically test this hypothesis. With local land use and trip making data as inputs, it first calculates two common indices of land-use mixture - entropy and dissimilarity indices, using GIS tool, supplemented by Microsoft Excel. Afterwards, it uses Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to calculate the correlation matrices among land-use mixture indices, socioeconomic variables, and home-based work/other trip rates, followed by a series of regression model runs on these variables. Through this study, it has been found that land-use mixture has some but weak effects on home-based work trip rate, and virtually no effects on home-based other trip rate. In contrast, socioeconomic variables, especially auto ownership, have larger effects on home-based trip making.
Key Words: land-use mixture, socioeconomic variables, home-based trip rates, entropy index, dissimilarity index.

Anthropologist apologist | Oct. 15, letter
All knowledge worthwhile, useful
I was troubled by this letter rebutting Gov. Rick Scott's ill-informed comments about anthropology majors (and, by extension, all of the liberal arts).
The writer is probably correct in perceiving that the best way to argue with anti-intellectuals is to point out what should be obvious: that anthropology has many "practical" applications. But it is a sad situation when learning in academia can be justified only by pointing out that it has immediate practical applications in fields such as medicine, government or industry.
The real meaning of the university is that all knowledge is worthwhile and ultimately useful, and that increasing our understanding and perspective on the human condition is always worthwhile (and eventually useful, often in unforeseen ways).
The governor reminds me of those annoying students who ask, "Is this going to be on the test?" If they don't need this knowledge in the next two weeks, they prefer to remain ignorant. This sort of close-mindedness is usually a good indication of a student not ready for higher education.
Richard Long, Temple Terrace
Scott unveils jobs plan | Oct. 13
Science in daily life
As a scientist, I am actually excited that Gov. Rick Scott is promoting the need to train young people in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). Ironically, many Republicans oppose the teaching of scientific concepts that are the basis for the physical, chemical, biological and geological sciences, and their applied sciences such as astronomy, agriculture, medicine, industrial chemistry and petroleum geology.
The basic concepts, known by scientists as "unifying theories," are widely dismissed in Republican circles as "only theories." Yet these same people (and all of us in modern societies) utilize, for example, evolutionary theory every day when we use fossil fuel-generated electricity, eat food, wear clothes, apply makeup, take medicine and so on. I challenge anyone who opposes teaching of evolution to spend one day not using anything developed using modern science — even most natural fibers have been modified based on genetics.
Pamela Muller, St. Petersburg
Keys to communication
A student's choice of study is a personal one. And the characteristics that make a standout worker in any profession are not based on his or her technical prowess at the outset. These characteristics include a strong work ethic, a commitment to excellence, respect of others and, perhaps most overlooked, a deep sense of intellectual curiosity.
When I hire new employees, I am more concerned about their intelligence, character, "fire in the belly" and the above-described characteristics than I am about their choice of study.
I studied English in college. It is a choice I will never regret. English taught me about reading and thinking critically and how to communicate effectively with my superiors, peers and staff. The writing skills of many students with advanced degrees are beyond appalling. This hurts them as they look for ways up their chosen career path.
My fervent hope is that students of all ages identify Scott's opinion for the claptrap it is and search for their own and true work passion.

Blackouts of Bucs games bug Fasano | Oct. 16
Good game plan
State Sen. Mike Fasano scores a touchdown when he advocates an end to blackouts of sporting events that occur in taxpayer-funded venues. He refers specifically to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' blackouts.
The only problem occurs when he tries to introduce such a measure in the Republican-dominated Legislature among a group of people whose main concern is defending the interests of big business. The NFL is nothing if not a very successful big business. I'm afraid his chances in that arena are slim to none.
However, I wonder if our esteemed Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and the City Council might be willing and able to pick up the ball and score a touchdown.

How to stop the drop in U.S. home values Oct. 16, commentary
How about those who paid?
We should figure out a way to stop the bleeding in home values so the patient can survive. Martin Feldstein has a great idea in giving borrowers a reduction in their mortgage balance by writing down the mortgage. Banks don't have to spend thousands on the foreclosure process. It's a win-win situation.
What seems unrecognized here is the victim in this morass: the poor, hapless homeowner who faithfully paid his mortgage and had the value of his house drop by 40 percent. There should be some remuneration here. Can there be some tax credit for those who did the right thing and continued to pay? There should be some reward for doing the right thing.

Obama's Hispanic support slipping | Oct. 16
Alternatives lacking
This headline suggests that the support among Hispanic voters for President Barack Obama is lagging as we head toward next year's election. I have read similar reports from the black community.
But what is their alternative? Do they think that they will get a better deal the day after a Republican becomes the president?

Veterans say Haley won't pay for treatment Oct. 16
Outstanding care
I read this article with interest because I occasionally use the Veterans Affairs Department facility, although my primary care is provided through Medicare. Every time I have used the VA, I have received outstanding service.
I also know a lot of veterans in Sun City Center who praise the care they receive from the VA. In addition, the James A. Haley VA Medical Center is performing leading-edge care for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
So why would the paper focus on these four guys? Your sample size was too small and does not reflect the true picture of the outstanding service performed by the James A. Haley VA Medical Center.

As we head into the final two weeks of volleyball's regular season, plenty has yet to be determined, like conference titles and section seedings.
Andover's search for a third overall win will continue after losing its 11th straight match by a 3-1 score at Maple Grove Sept. 26.
The streak includes the Apple Valley Eagle Invite and Northwest Suburban Conference matches.
Thursday's loss to the Crimson started rocky with a 25-9 loss in the opening set before the Huskies showed signs of life by winning the second set 27-25. The Crimson regained its focus winning the third and fourth sets 25-16 and 25-18.
Andover's Hannah Peterson highlighted the evening with four aces and 24 digs. Heather Keyes had seven kills and Madison Hahn had 12 sets.
The Tornadoes dropped to 6-3 overall and into a four-way tie for third place in the very competitive Northwest Suburban Conference after a 3-1 loss to unbeaten Champlin Park, Sept. 26.
The Rebels and Osseo have matching 6-0 records inside the conference but Osseo takes the edge with a 14-0 overall record.
Champlin Park started strong by winning the opening set 25-13 before Anoka found more consistent play to win the second set 25-21. The Rebels won a very close third set that went into extra points 29-27 before closing out the match with a 25-19 win in set four.
Anoka coach Chris Fenwick said his squad made too many serving errors in the third set and couldn't recover in time to save the set. "Otherwise, we were in control of that [set]. The momemntum thing swung back to Champlin Park and we never fully recovered," he said.
The loss snapped a four match winning streak for the Tornadoes.
Fenwick has confidence in winning match-ups against anyone, but getting the team to buy-in to what he's saying is another story. "At times they are comfortable with not winning the close ones [and that] needs to be changed in a hurry," he said.
Anoka's 3-2 win at Centennial Sept. 12 was the marque win during the streak. Senior hitter Megan Lindenfelser had 23 kills and 16 digs to highlight the stats sheet.
Fenwick said the key for his most consistent hitter has been learning how to end a point instead of continue a rally. "I want her to go for the win and not be affraid to lose," he said.
Fenwick noted how Anoka was able to out-serve the Cougars over the final three sets to win the match. "Instead of giving up they showed a lot of heart and won the next three," he said. "I think this is what it will take to go back to state."
After losing a 3-2 match to Northwest Suburban Conference foe Champlin Park, Blaine (13-4) won four straight matches to capture the Blaine Invite title Sept. 28.
Blaine beat Minneapols Southwest, Chisago Lakes and Concordia Academy. The Bengals toppped Roseville 2-1 in the title match.
That success continued Tuesday night with another conference sweep, topping Park Center 3-0.
The Bengals loss to Champlin Park was the only match during the week that was bookended by weekend tournaments.
Coach Celeste Gorman said it was tough to point to one area in the loss. "We got comfortable and they kept turning up the heat," she said as they lost Taylor Morgan for the season to an ACL injury.
Only three days after losing to No. 3 ranked Eagan 2-1 in the Apple Valley Eagle Volleyball Invitational, Blaine succombed to the Rebels which moved to 6-0 (12-2), one of two unbeaten teams in conference play (Osseo 6-0, 14-0).
Before the Oct. 1 win against Park Center, Tuesday matches inside the Blaine Fieldhouse have proven to be a bad combination for the Bengals after dropping another 3-2 loss to Owatonna one week earlier.
Blaine built a 2-0 lead winning the openning sets 25-16 and 26-24 and appeared to be in control of the match.
The Rebels weren't going down that easy as they won the final three sets 25-20, 25-21 and 15-10 to finish off the upset.
Rebels hitter Mariya Sampson hit at a .500 clip (32-62) with just five errors and had both of the team's blocked shots.

Samsung Galaxy Note appears on a T-Mobile poster, launch seems imminent
0. phoneArena posted on 06 Jul 2012, 09:09
If all those leaked pictures and rumors weren't enough of an evidence for you that T-Mobile is about to launch the Samsung Galaxy Note, now there is a poster…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Too late....
2. tlsmithsr (Posts: 81; Member since: 28 Sep 2010)
Really 9 months later and the 2nd Gen is due out in a couple of months.. Bad deal T-mo unless your listing the phone at $99-$150 on contract and $349-$450 off contract but I know you won't.
3. imkyle (Posts: 1087; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
The sequel will be debuted at IFA if rumors are true. Little late T-mobile.
5. iirundis05 (Posts: 8; Member since: 05 Feb 2012)
The sequel will be out soon, but it won't hit stateside until about 3-6 months later unless sammy pulls a Galaxy S 3 type launch which may or may not happen. T-mobile see's it ok to release now. Hopefully Sprint get the Note 2, that would be awesome !! :)
4. dcgore (Posts: 231; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
and tmo wonders why its costumers are leaving for other carriers.
6. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Will it have ICS?
7. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1122; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
This is too little............too late for Tmobile!! I dont understand why they didnt act quickly on this!! i can understand Sprint and Verizon not getting the Note because of frequency, but Tmobile uses a similar frequency to AT&T and i wouldnt be surprised if some AT&T users have unlocked the note to use on Tmobile's network
This is an #EPICFAIL for Tmobile
8. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Personally this couldn't hurt to have on Tmobile network. Yes it is late to the game but one more Ice Cream Sandwich device on Tmobile couldn't hurt. I'm sure there will be people out there that would buy it as long as it's priced different than At&t. And YES it will have ICS so this will be fine. As far as the Note 2 that is some I would jump one so quich a person's head would spin. I am extremely happy with my Tmobile Galaxy S3 nothing is better than that today...

Here's our list of the best things to do, watch, read, and try in June. (It goes without saying that you should carve out some time to read the Birchbox Blog)
June 18 marks International Picnic Day (oh, it's a thing), while summer begins June 21. What better way to celebrate languid summer days than with an al fresco repast? Whip up Bon Appétit's deviled eggs with anchovy and The Silver Palate's can't-fail tarragon chicken salad, and upgrade your picnic hamper with shatterproof wine glasses.
You know their voices— and, in some cases, their hip gyrations. Now you'll know their names. A Sundance fan favorite, the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom takes a look at the unsung heroes of the music industry: backup singers. Also on the music front, we can't wait for Secret Disco Revolution, about the birth of disco in the '70s. Le freak, c'est chic. Photo: Tremolo Productions
Whether your dad is an iPhone-wielding techie or a backyard barbecue warrior, he deserves his own day and then some. On June 16, we know what we'll be gifting: the Birchbox Man Handsome and Hungry limited edition box, filled with everything from stylish shave cream to game-changing grilling tools.
In Italy, late spring heralds the most pristine, sublime dessert ever: tiny wild strawberries, called fragoline>, tossed with lemon and sugar. Add a scoop of vanilla gelato or fresh cream for extra indulgence. Recreate the dolce experience at home with now-in-season strawberries of any size, or blend into a refreshing granita.
Photo: Bon Appétit
The advent of summer always makes us antsy to get out of Dodge. We're getting inspired for our next adventure with the help of The Turk Who Loved Apples, by former New York Times Frugal Traveler columnist Matt Gross. Our favorite tip? Gross advocates throwing away the guidebooks and getting lost—in these hyperconnected times, an all-but-disappeared art worth revisiting. Photo: Da Capo Press
Music festival season kicks into high gear with Governors Ball on NYC's Randalls Island and Bonnaroo in Tennessee—but there are countless smaller (and just as fun) lineups all over the country. Don't forget the essentials: a [blanket(product:5153), SPF, and snacks.
We don't need any help with wanderlust—the travel bug bites us every time we look at our Instagram feed. But trip planning is another matter. We love TripIt for its user-friendly interface and the way it keeps our myriad frequent flyer numbers organized. For packing, you can't beat the simplicity of Travel List.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Ask Moby that requisite question about career regrets, and he won't give you the requisite answer. He does, he says, have a few.
"There are things that I've done that I think I've done badly," the veteran dance-music artist says. "Some of the songs I've made, I'm really disappointed in how I mixed them. And some decisions I've made were more fueled by desperation than anything; some of the more gratuitous licensing things. But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed. You make mistakes and you learn from them."
It makes sense for Moby to be the one to introduce the era of licensing repentance -- regrets over deals with advertisers and filmmakers for the use of his music. Nearly 10 years ago, he was the poster boy for the industry's newest revenue stream. In addition to selling 2.7 million copies of his 1999 album "Play" (V2), according to Nielsen SoundScan, all 18 tracks landed in movies, TV shows and advertising spots for everything from American Express to Bailey's Irish Cream. The album's drowsy electronic blues was omnipresent to the point that the former rave DJ became known more for his deal-making than his music.
The follow-up, "18," continued in a similar vein, musically and otherwise; and 2005's "Hotel" was so guitar-driven that Moby seemed like a different animal altogether.
But his new album, "Last Night," out April 1, is neither too safe nor off-brand. His first effort for new label Mute is a shock of electronic energy, a combination of the pre-"Play" Moby's warehouse party beats and the polish of a multiplatinum artist. He's not trying to sell you a Toyota -- he's trying to make you dance.
Meant to condense an entire night out in New York -- and the whole arc of New York dance music, starting with disco and including hip-hop -- "Last Night" bops and grooves without apologies, herding today's dance-rock indie kids on the same dance floor as their finicky "we lived through it" elders.
"My big inspiration was going out and hearing DJs in their 20s playing records I grew up with," Moby says. "There are two ongoing trends in dance: being avant-garde and cutting edge and being gently nostalgic and fun. I wanted to worry less about the first."
Should the demand arise, Moby says he'll tour not with "a conventional live show," but a "DJ set with some live elements. I get really excited by other people's records."
He has also started a Web site, mobygratis.com, where noncommercial or nonprofit filmmakers can download his music for free use in their projects.

Top Baha Mar executive describes vision for 'casino-centric' resort
Guardian Business Editor
Published: Oct 04, 2013
Baha Mar's new chief operating officer has spelled out a vision for the resort as a gaming destination second to none in the Caribbean in terms of the variety of gaming experiences available and the level of exclusivity and service available to gamblers, while describing updated gaming legislation as "critical" to the realization of this goal.
Former Las Vegas hotelier Paul Pusateri, who was announced as COO for the upcoming mega-resort on September 25, said that Baha Mar's 100,000 square foot casino – 55,000 square feet larger than Atlantis' – will differentiate itself not only by its size, but also by its variety of "experiential environments", appealing to everyone from the regular holiday gamer, to the most high-end clientele for whom private entrances, elevators, and restaurants will be provided.
"If you go through the Caribbean casinos there are mass floors and then there may be what they refer to as a high limit area that is cordoned off in a section," said Pusateri, in his first introductory interview with the media.
"We are going to appeal to a very high end gaming customer and as such we wil have a very high-end gaming lounge, which wil be extremely well appointed. There will be finishes probably beyond what people have ever seen in terms of the design of the spaces. We will build access to rooms and gaming areas that are very private.
"A lot of the time there's a customer with a very high end profile and wants his privacy. He'll be able to come to Baha Mar, come in through a separate (door) and have access right into the high limit casino, not necessarily going through the public areas," he said.
There'll be a private elevator to take you up to your room, there'll be a private restaurant that you can eat at, and they traditionally come with an entourage. It will be private and very elegant. These people are very wealthy and they are accustomed to a certain design style in their homes, in how they live; we know what that is and that's what we will be designing to satisfy and service that customer. The butler service will be far beyond what has been experienced in these islands."
For high-rolling Asian clientele, a tea sommelier will be on hand to blend and serve the teas which are the drink of choice for gamblers from China just as the cocktail may be for their Las Vegas counterparts.
The experience within the casino will be complimented by mobile gaming possibilities throughout the entire resort "campus", which means the possibility to place and change bets on sports games from the comfort of your deck chair on the beach, or while sitting in the pool - but only if the updated gaming legislation which redefines the term "premises" to mean the entire resort, rather than just a casino floor, is passed.
For now, the resort is "experimenting" with mobile gambling thanks to temporary approvals from the Gaming Board, and claims to have had "very positive" feedback from guests.
"What we will get with the regulations is the ability to, with a hand held device, be sitting at a pool, in the lobby, in a restaurant, and you'll have the option to make a wager. With horse racing, the race is off, your horse is running last, you have the opportunity to change your bet because of the technology.
"You can be watching basketball games and there are three foul shots and you can place a bet that says he'll make the next one or not. You can be actively live in the middle of it. And that's the energy of it; these are not big dollars that people are going to be wagering, but it's a fun entertainment type interaction for sports and wagering to be combined," explained Pusateri.
This type of "energetic" gaming environment with a "diversity of touch points" is standard in Las Vegas today, with resorts offering guests the ability to gamble while at a nightclub, in a pool, or on the beach, but has yet to be implemented throughout the Caribbean.
Robert "Sandy" Sands, Senior Vice President of External and Governmental Affairs, said that this means that by passing the upgraded gaming legislation, The Bahamas would place itself far ahead of its regional peers in terms of its competitiveness in the gaming sector and in line with top international destinations.
"The other Caribbean islands are nowhere near. This puts us at the level with jurisdictions like Vegas, Singapore, Macau. The others will have to play catch up. We're not competing with resorts just within this region but also on a world class basis."
Pusateri added that with the upgraded legislation, Baha Mar would become a top destination for visitors from the US east coast who might otherwise go to Las Vegas, drawing down gamblers en masse for big events such as the Super Bowl.
"When we get (the legislation) and we put together our calendar of events we will celebrate months and weekends of the year that haven't been able to market here before, so we will be able to bring new business here to the islands. So imagine, you can have a dozen guys saying 'lets go down to Baha Mar for Superbowl Weekend'. Not only do we have the wagering for that, but we create a weekend of events for people to come down here. We will fill the campus. The fun thing is, the beauty of the model is that we have four different brands who will bring businesses from all of their different sources of business, but from all of those brands, when we have our demand, we will be their biggest customer. The casino hotel will be buying rooms from the (hotels) for our diverse customer mix."
Sands said that the "casino-centric" nature of Baha Mar is a "subtle but distinct difference" between the Cable Beach resort and Atlantis that may not have been much appreciated to date.
"One of the these that I think its pivotal is that it is the Atlantis Resort and Casino, but it's Baha Mar Casino and Resort. We are a gaming environment and I want to emphasize that gaming is going to play a pivotal part in what we are all about. We are not a resort with an amenity casino, we are a casino that has a variety of hotels."
Pusateri said that Baha Mar will set up offices in "feeder markets" throughout the world from which it hopes to draw guests, channelling in gamblers who will then buy up hotel rooms and take advantage of what the resort as a whole has to offer. He suggested that having internationally competitive gaming laws will be a key part of Baha Mar's ability to tap into new international tourism markets, such as Asia, where destinations such as Macau are already utilising gaming technology far ahead of that permitted in The Bahamas.
The COO yesterday described his new post at Baha Mar as the "culmination of (his) career".
"With a hospitality background in some of the greatest hotels in the world that I've managed, and to have been at the pinnacle of the casino industry, and then to come here and look at this campus which has been a fierce competitor of mine over the years... it's a challenge really to anyone in my position and it's very exciting to be able to come in and operate this, and really be a part of making the essence of what will make this unique."
The Government has indicated plans to bring the Gaming Bill up for consideration in the current parliamentary session.

BGO Casino Review
BGO casino is one of the UK's most popular online casinos, made famous from its hugely-successful 'The Boss' TV campaign.
This humorous theme features into the casino quite heavily, as many of the games have an emphasis on 'beating the boss', giving players a fun and potentially profitable aim to look forward to.
When I first signed up, I was offered a £1500 deposit bonus, PLUS free, spins, with a massive 180 free spins added when I made my first real deposit!
That's incredible – I was given over 200 free spins, and actually managed to spin it up to over £400!
Casino Games
All BGO casino games are of the highest quality, and I found that loading times were kept to a minimum thanks to the state-of-the-art gaming software.
The range of table games available is substantial, and you'll find many classics including Blackjack, Roulette, and Three Card Poker, as well as some more obscure choices, including 3 Wheel Roulette, Double Bonus Spin Roulette and the exciting Roulette Hot Streak Bonus.
There's also a great selection of card games available, and I was kept entertained for hours by some of these, so make sure you go ahead and check them out!
Slot Games
An online casino isn't complete without a great slots collection, and BGO Casino doesn't disappoint.
I found a massive range of slot games to choose from, including the thrilling Amazon Jungle – a popular slot that places you in the middle of the Amazon and has you fighting for the Jungle treasure!
Or, if the wilderness isn't your thing, check out the classic Monopoly, where you'll have the chance to take on Mr Monopoly – can you steal the riches away from him?
Software And Security
BGO Casino use a variety of software providers to deliver their great range of games, and these include Net Entertainment, Microgaming, IGT, BGO Studios and Blue Gem Gaming – some of the largest, most respected names in the industry.
Playing with a high level of security, I felt at complete ease during my gaming experience, and their website is fully secure, meaning that personal details are safe and secure, from unwanted third party attention.
BGO is an online casino that's suitable for all types of gamer, whether you're completely new to the casino scene and want to try you luck at a spin on the roulette wheel, or if you're a seasoned professional, and want to join the high-stakes blackjack tables.

A 24-YEAR-OLD drug mule, who agreed to smuggle in almost £2,000 worth of drugs to a music festival in Warrington, will not be sent to prison.
Becky Jewell, of Shottesbrook Green, Liverpool, was arrested after she was caught trying to sneak in a mixture of drugs, which she hid in her bra, to the Creamfields Festival on August 24.
The court heard how Jewell had drank almost a bottle of wine and a small amount of cocaine on the morning of the annual music festival in Daresbury before catching a bus with around 16 friends to the event.
Jewell attempted to enter the festival around 2.15pm but was stopped and searched by police who found 54 ecstasy tablets, 11 packages of ketamine weighing a total of 6.1g, one package containing three different drugs called BZP weighing 1.52g, 19 wraps weighing 12.6g and a further three packages weighing 1.86g of M-Cat.
She was also found with a separate bag of 20 mg of M-Cat, which she claimed was for personal use.
Jewell, who has no previous convictions, was arrested but later denied the drugs were hers and that she had agreed to smuggle them in for an acquaintance.
Speaking during the hearing, she said: "Ten minutes before we got there [the man] asked me to take the drugs and I said no but then he asked me again.
"Stupidly I agreed and said yes."
She later added: "I have no idea why I said yes. I stupidly said yes and it was one of my biggest regrets to this day."
Recorder Stuart Driver agreed that he could not be sure that the drugs were hers but did not accept that she was not offered a small amount of money in return for taking the drugs into the festival.
He added: "What you did, even by your own account was serious. You took drugs into a festival and you helped a dealer who was going to sell them to make a substantial profit."
Jewell pleaded guilty to four counts of possession with intent to supply drugs and was sentenced to 12 months in prison, which was suspended for two years, at Warrington Crown Court on Friday.
She was also ordered to complete 70 hours of unpaid work.

O.K., true confession time: I'm a sucker for pretty labels and cute names. So, when I noticed the Reggae Red wine from Easley Winery, it was a bit of a gamble–cute name, cute label–this HAD to be a winner!
And so it is! Don't just take my word for it–this sweet red wine won the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition's 2012 Gold & Best of Class awards & the Tasters Guild International Wine Competition 2012 Gold Medal.
There is also a Reggae Blush (2012 Double Gold winner of the Tasters Guild Competition) and a Reggae White.
Easley Winery and Tasting Room is located in downtown Indianapolis, in the Cole Noble Commercial Arts District, but their vineyards are in Crawford, Jennings and Posey counties in Indiana, Berrien County, Michigan, and the famed Finger Lakes area of New York state.
The Easley family was, along with the Oliver's, at the forefront of the efforts to legalize the sales of wine in Indiana. Jack and Joan Easley hosted many meetings in their house of what became the Indiana Wine Grower's Guild.
There are about 20 wines to choose from. The Sweet Barrel Red has won Best of Class and Gold Medal in the 2012 New World International Wine Competition and Gold in the 2012 Great Lakes Great Wine Competition.
Also notable are the sparkling wines–the "Indiana Champagne" won gold in the 2012 Great Lakes Great Wine Competition and even shows up occasionally on NBC's sitcom Parks and Recreation.
So, pretty labels, cute names, great wines–a winning formula! Works for me!

Customer Reviews

Like others, I was concerned about purchasing such a big ticket item (or 3) without ever seeing or sitting on the furniture, but with the great price and description of the quality, and yes, by reading all the other reviews, we went for it and are not disappointed! The furniture itself is beautiful, soft leather, while the cushions are not too soft and have a rich firm, but not too firm feel. The chair has actually become a favorite of the household when we didn't even think we needed it and were simply looking for a sofa/loveseat combo. I was also concerned that the leather would feel too "cold" or sticky...but it seems to be quality leather and quickly warms and softens as you sit (or lounge like in our household!). We have young kids, so I was worried about the wear and tear, but now I think it will really hold up. Also, I was concerned that such a big sofa wouldn't fit through our narrow entryway, but the furniture comes in pieces and the backs are simply attached on arrival so they'd fit anywhere! (Now, how to take them apart if we move...I have no clue!) The seam defect that arrived split slighly in the corner of the arm was handled quickly by the customer service at Overstock and we are awaiting a visit from a "couch medic" to fix it this week. All in all, an excellent experience ordering from Overstock.com and we LOVE our new leather furniture!Read More
Like many others I have to rely on the reviews before buying this set online. I thought I cannot go wrong on a perfect 5 reviews, but the dread is always there. A very popular wholesale store is also selling this exact same model under the name Montecito so you can read the reviews there too. Had I known , I would see if a display room is available before I buy to test the comfort. The armrest and backrest are plush or soft . The seat is firmer, I believe it is designed this way to withstand years of use and prevent sagging. The leather is dark brown as seen on the web. It has very little luster to it, not very shiny like some leather. This sofa replaced a fabric sofa that made you sink when you sit. If you are looking for something like that, this set may not for you. I think there is a thin line between a plush and a saggy seat. My wife who is against buying them unseen is happy after she saw it . Just beware, I have this set for 8 month now and everyone dose off with them. I keep missing the ending of some good movies because I keep falling asleep. If you are going to buy a sofa unseen, take note of the height and depth of the seat. These set are comfty if you are 510 or more , in my humble opinion, otherwise your feet will be hanging. Also consider the size . I was surprised at how bulky they were especially the chair. The backrest is high enough for head rest, the stitches are well done. Set looks classy and modern. The sets are light for its size. I can slide the sofa by myself without trouble. The back cushion can be detached with velcro fastener, not leather on the back so you cant reverse it. Seat cushion is attached. The side, the underside, and the backside are not real leather but hardly noticeable. The set has solid wood footing . The leather is very good quality.Read More
Great, excellent, stupendous
I actually purchased this set as a gift for my aunt and she is completely flawed by the quality, comfort and beauty of this set. She said that it exceeded her expectations and loves the feel. Once you purchase fine crafted leather it is hard to go back to anything else. Great product.Read More

not like the reviews posted
I learned a valuable lesson. Never purchase furniture online! The furniture was not at all like described in the other reviews as far as softness and comfort. It was very firm in the seat and lacked low back support. My furniture that was 25 years old was more comfortable. If you want to return it, it will cost you $$$. I did return it because I refuse to be uncomfortable for the next 10 years. Think carefully before you buy furniture on line.Read More

I would give it a 5 rating but I've only had it a week. I love everything about it so far--the quality and the very dark brown color. I thought about getting a black set, but this color is more to what I love.Read More

Where will your design live?
Industrial applications cover a broad range of solution types. Depending on whom you ask, the industrial market segment can include military, scientific and commercial solutions. Though these segments run across a broad spectrum, there are some common themes that a design team must confront regardless of which area their particular application is focused on. One of the key areas is the environment.
When you think of "industrial" what type of environment comes to mind? Is it noisy vibrating factory floor, an exposed pole top in the dead of winter, a desk in an office, in an aircraft at 30,000 feet above ground -- or even several miles above the Earth? Each of these environments has notable challenges, from vibration to temperature variation and atmospheric pressure. It would be relatively easy to simply design the most rugged device imaginable, at the tradeoff of significant cost. That of course isn't practical. They key is how can a designer can account for the effects of the environment on the design with the full knowledge they won't (typically) be responsible for the installation or routine care of the application.
Many years ago as an FAE, I called on a company that made heads-up displays for helmets in attack helicopters. In my naiveté, I had discussions with the design team on using industrial-grade temperature devices in the design. One of the team members politely pointed out that should the temperatures reach the industrial range for the interior of the helmet, the pilot would be, well, deceased. Obviously they had more than a surface-level understanding (as I did) of where and how their design was going to be used. The limits were not in the silicon of the chips or the metal and plastic of the helmet, but in the human pilot. Designing the most effective system within those limits (with effective guard band of course) was their objective.
There will always be mitigating or exacerbating environmental factors that can affect design decisions. Some obvious ones (like the temperature envelope), and some not-so-obvious ones (like the limits of the human body) that help strike the balance between ruggedness and cost – need to be accounted for. In an office environment, perhaps this isn't issue. In a factory setting, perhaps only parts of the design are exposed to vibrations. If SEU (single event upset) is a concern, can the software be designed to detect and correct those events which could help in the design of the shielding and thus improve reliability? Where practical, taking the time to experience and the environment that the system will live in can yield insights that don't exist in the specification.
Taking the time to understand not only the project they need to deliver, but the world in which it will ultimately operate, will deliver premiere results that effectively balance function, reliability, and cost.

Seattle Campus
Cultural interaction among societies and civilizations, particularly Western and non-Western. Intellectual, cultural, social, and artistic aspects; historical factors. Offered: Sp.
Class description
Modern political and economic systems are founded and maintained by combinations of subtle workings of ideas and overt violence. This course examines how the systems of meaning and social organization we call 'culture(s)' organize the experiences, ideologies, and institutions of power which we call 'politics' at the local, national, and international level. This course introduces a critical approach to understanding the relationship between culture and politics by examining the problem of political violence and armed conflict and its relationship to society and culture in the post-WWII world. The questions this course will address include: In what ways are strategies of power produced through forms of knowledge that are culturally organized? How does power become internalized and personalized so that people actively reproduce it? What does it mean for a society to become 'militarized'? What are 'cultures of terror' and what does it mean to rule by fear rather than by consent or coercion? How is torture and the violent inscription of the body a 'modern' political practice? How do cultural expectations shape international recognition of conflicts as 'war', 'civil insurgency', or 'terrorism' and of impacted people and populations as 'victims', 'refugees', 'perpetrators' or 'terrorists'? What is the distinction between modern and postmodern warfare and how do their political economies differ? How do post-cold war peace-making paradigms of accountability and reconciliation rely on the transformative possibilities of political culture? We adopt an ethnographic perspective to examine the these questions through the examination of processes of political violence and armed conflict in the daily lives of ordinary people, drawing on case studies from the US, South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Student learning goals
• Learn the terms, concepts, and theories of culturally informed studies of international political culture.
• Understand cultural explanations about the problem of contemporary political violence.
• Develop the ability to use ethnographic and anthropological information and ideas to explain contemporary political and social problems.
• Develop and improve the ability to synthesize and analyze different ideas and theories about contemporary political and social problems.
General method of instruction
Three 50 min. lectures and two section discussion hours per week.
Recommended preparation
Sophomore standing or previous completion of SIS 200 or SIS 201. Students should expect to do all readings and attend all class sessions.
Class assignments and grading
There will be seven weekly response papers, a 5-6 page analytic essay using course readings, discussions and writing workshops in sections, current events quizzes, and a short answer and essay final exam on lecture and reading materials in which students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of key concepts.
The final grade will reflect students' full participation in this course weighted as follows: response papers 30%, essay paper 20%, section participation 20%; quizes 10%; final exam 20%. Weekly response papers: 30% Essay Paper: 20% Section Participation: 20% Quizes 10% Final Exam: 20%
